Figuring out who benefits most politically from Thursday's Supreme Court decision that upheld the constitutionality of President Obama's health care overhaul seems to be today's toughest assignment.
On It's All Politics, our colleague Frank James says it's "difficult to overstate how big a win" it was for Obama.
But if Obama was "winner No. 1," then Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney was "winner No. 2," says Republican speechwriter in the Baltimore Sun: "In the hours following the ruling's release, Team Romney experienced a sizable bump in fundraising."
And as The Christian Science Monitor adds:
"Obama's victory could come at a political cost. The mandate is unpopular with the public, and the president will have to defend it in his reelection campaign. At the same time, the high court has handed his challenger, Mitt Romney, and the GOP a pungent election-year issue. Republicans, particularly those with a libertarian, tea party bent, assert that the mandate represents an overreach of federal power and an affront to individual liberty."
Even The Washington Post's Chris Cillizza, who declared Thursday a "banner day" for the president, concedes this morning that it's "possible that what the political impact looks like today isn't what it will look like in November. Remember back in October 2002 it was widely assumed that the 'safe' political vote for Democrats with national ambitions was in support of the use of force resolution against Iraq. Six years later, it can be argued that that single vote cost Hillary Clinton the Democratic nomination for president."
Our advice: Give it a few days or weeks.
Meanwhile, here's a question (not a scientific survey of public opinion):

Backing/Primary Backing
The primary backing material of carpeting is usually made of woven polypropylene
and its main value is to provide a base cloth to hold the yarn in place while the
tufting happens.
A looped style carpet is often referred to as a Berber. Berbers are big bulky yarns
with characteristic color flecks that are either produced in a level loop or multi-level
loop carpet construction. Although many Berbers are made out of olefin fiber, some
are made with nylon, or a blend of various carpet fibers.
A style of carpet constructed of thicker, typically longer yarn that is better suited
for rooms without a lot of activity. It can matte and crush with heavy foot traffic
so it is not recommended for stairs, hallways and other busy areas in your home.
Carpet Cushion
Commonly called padding, this is the layer of material that lies between the carpet
and floor. It's carpet cushion, not the carpet itself, that determines how
a carpet feels beneath your feet and helps preserve the look while providing it
with tougher protection against wear and tear.
Carpet Dyeing (Continuous Dyeing)
Also called Continuous Dyeing, color is applied directly to the carpet face by spraying
or printing. This process is also used to create multicolor or patterned effects
in the carpet.
Cut Pile
Small loops of yarn are cut, creating what we call a cut pile carpet. The length
of these cut pieces of yarn is referred to as the pile height, and is basically
the distance between the looper and the primary backing. Selectively cutting, called
cut and loop construction, creates a recognizable pattern on the surface of the
A measure of how tightly the yarn is stitched into the primary backing. Higher density
carpet will typically wear better than lower density carpet.
Face Weight
Is determined by the actual amount of fiber per square yard, and is measured in
ounces. A typical carpet may have a face weight of 35 to 45 ounces for example.
Fiber is the basic material that a carpet is made of. Over ninety percent of all
of the carpet made today is made up of synthetic fiber. The rest is natural fiber,
most commonly wool.
This is a cut pile style that has a very high twist level, meaning each strand of
yarn is twisted so tightly that they actually curl over at the end. This creates
a textured surface with a knobby appearance, and a carpet of high durability and
very good wear-ability.
Loop Pile
A small hook called a looper grabs the yarn and holds it in place. This process
results in what is called loop pile construction. Loop pile products hold their
appearance very well. Since there are no exposed yarn tips, only the sides of the
yarn are exposed to wear and stress. Generally speaking, low profile loop carpet
stands up to heavy traffic best.
The application of weight (like a high traffic area) on an installed carpet produces
this visual effect. See Cable.
(See Pile Height)
A synthetic fiber. Almost 75% of carpet today is made of nylon. Nylon is the leader
in: appearance retention, fade and heat resistance, soil and stain resistance, and
color and styling.
See Polypropylene.
Cut or uncut loops of yarn that create the surface of carpeting.
Pile Height
Also called the nap, pile height is the length of the tuft measured from the primary
backing to the yarn tips. It's usually shown as a fraction, or sometimes its
decimal equivalent. Usually shorter pile heights are more durable than longer pile
See Saxony.
A common synthetic material well accepted for its bulkiness, color clarity, and
good stain and fade resistance. While not as resilient as nylon, Polyester fiber
carpet constructed with today's new technologies can be a good performer.
Another common synthetic material used in carpet manufacturing, sometimes referred
to as olefin. Today it represents more than thirty-five percent of the total fibers
used in the carpet industry. While polypropylene is not as resilient or resistant
to abrasion as nylon, it is naturally stain and fade resistant. Polypropylene is
most often used in loop pile carpet constructions.
Saxony has a smooth, soft, velvet plush look and a luxurious feel with a uniform
twist and finish. This style is not a good choice for high traffic areas or rooms
with active kids. Also be aware that this style does show footprints and vacuum
Screen Printing
Another common method of carpet coloring, screen printing is where color is applied
through anywhere from one to as many as eight silk-screens.
One of the last stages in the manufacturing of carpet, shearing is the process of
removing all of the little loose ends and projecting fibers that might have been
created during the tufting process. It also helps achieve the yarn's tip definition
of the finished carpet.
Shedding is a natural part of a new carpet. Frequent vacuuming for the first few
days should remove any loose fibers from the carpet's surface.
Refers to small tufts or loops of carpet that become visible after the installation.
Use a small pair of scissors to carefully trim the loose fibers flush with the surface
of the carpet.
Stitch Rate
The measure of how close the yarns are together. Stitch rate is measured in penetrations,
or tufts, in a given length of carpet, usually an inch. The stitch rate is controlled
by how fast the carpet is moved through the tufting machine. Seven to eight tufts
per inch is a good number, while three or four is pretty poor.
Man-made, using chemical compounds versus natural materials. Over ninety percent
of all of the carpet is made up of synthetic fiber – usually one of three
materials: nylon, polypropylene or polyester. All three are created by similar chemical
processes using oil and natural gas.
A very popular cut pile carpet that has alternating twists of yarn creating a two-tone
appearance. This carpet creates a more casual atmosphere in the room and is available
in a broad range of prices.
When two different flooring products meet – say, carpeting and a hardwood
floor – it's called a transition. Professional installers try to match
the surface heights of various flooring products to minimize transitions.
The first step in the manufacturing of carpet. Tufting begins with the process of
weaving the synthetic or staple fiber into a primary backing material.
When selecting carpet, you want a tight twist in each yarn, not loose and frayed
at the end.
The coat of sheep and the original staple fiber used in the making of carpet. Since
wool is a natural fiber, it ranges in color from off-white to black, with many earthen
tones between. Although wool doesn't stand up to abrasion and moisture as
well as synthetics, it cleans well and is known to age gracefully. Wool
is the most expensive carpet fiber, and represents less than one percent of the
U.S. carpet market.
Yarn Dyeing
One of two dyeing methods used in the manufacturing of carpet. Yarn dyeing, also
called pre-dyeing, is where the color is applied to the yarn prior to tufting. The
advantages of all yarn dyeing methods include good side-by-side color consistency,
large lot sizes, and uniformity.
Yarn Dyeing-Beck
A second dyeing method used in the manufacturing of carpet involves applying color
to the yarn after the carpet has been tufted.

Ghana has a population of about 25 million people. It is home to more than 100 different ethnic groups. The official language is English; however, most Ghanaians also speak at least one local language. The ethnic groups in Ghana are the Akan (which includes the Fante, Akyem, Ashanti, Kwahu, Akuapem, Nzema, Bono, Akwamu, Ahanta and others) 49.3%, Mole-Dagbon 15.2%, Ewe 11.7%, Ga-Dangme (comprising of the Ga, Adangbe, Ada, Krobo and others) 7.3%, Guan 4%, Gurma 3.6%, Gurunsi 2.6%, Mande-Busanga 1%, other tribes 1.4%, other (Hausa, Zabarema, Fulani) 1.8% (2000 census).
In Ghana, visual references to the indigenous arts are everywhere, in clothing, architecture, billboards, corporate advertising, tourist items, on vehicles, and myriad forms. Ghanaian art, from sculpture to body art, is symbolic and representational. Ghanaian art is the way of life of its people. The life of the Ghanaian is made up of two components: physical ( things physically seen such as stools, pots, wooden dolls etc.) and theory (symbols, abstractions such as proverbs, storytelling, songs and dance). It therefore becomes difficult to separate art from life. This makes Ghanaian art, like the arts of many native cultures, unique.
In Ghana, as in many areas of the world, the meanings attached to indigenous art forms are based on larger philosophical foundations. Those meanings are at the crux of the ongoing struggle in the minds of many Ghanaians over the appropriateness of Ghana's traditional arts in their contemporary education system. The indigenous arts are caught in the crossfire between the need to protect and project the country's unique cultural heritage and the adoption of a perceived modernity.
Ghanaian visual arts include painting (pictorial composition), graphics (lettering, packaging design, print making, book illustration), crafts (textiles and embroidery, pottery, sculpture, puppetry, basketry and weaving, calabash decoration, canoe decoration, leather works, and wall decoration – mosaic, collage, murals, stained glass).
The indigenous knowledge systems of the diverse groups of people of Ghana present a broad spectrum for field work. Various community-based research and production activities are being undertaken in various parts of the country. We are engaged in (activities - research, documentation, etc) in various communities in the regions of Ghana.

This is WEEKEND EDITION, from NPR News. I'm Scott Simon. It's been only one and a half weeks since the Pakistani schoolgirl Malala Yousafzai was shot in the head by the Taliban. She was targeted for publicly campaigning against an Islamist ban on girls' education. She's already able to stand, with assistance. Malala's being treated at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Britain. Her story has caused a worldwide outcry; and her recovery is being closely followed by people across the map, including a multitude back in her home country of Pakistan. NPR's Philip Reeves joins us now from the capital of Pakistan, Islamabad. Thanks very much for being with us, Phil.
PHILIP REEVES, BYLINE: You're welcome.
SIMON: And, as we note, Malala's reportedly able to stand, with assistance. But what else is known about her condition?
REEVES: Well, this morning, I called the hospital. And the latest information that they have is that Malala is still stable, and that she's progressing well. She was flown from here, in Pakistan, to the U.K. on Monday; so she's been there some five days. And, of course, she had a very, very grave injury - a bullet wound to the head, from a gun fired at close range. But that good news about her condition should be seen in the context of the latest, really detailed report on her progress that came yesterday from the hospital's medical director, Dave Rosser. Rosser says she does seem to have some memory. He says she also seems to understand people and is responding to them.
DR. DAVE ROSSER: She's communicating very freely. She's writing. She has a tracheostomy tube in, because her airway was swollen by the passing of the bullet. So in order to protect her airway, she had a tracheostomy tube in. So she's not able to talk, although we have no reason to believe that she wouldn't be able to talk once this tube is out, which it may be, in the next few days.
SIMON: And do you get much sense of what kind of medical work the doctors there, at Queen Elizabeth, are going to have to undertake?
REEVES: Yes. I mean, Malala does seem to have been extremely lucky. She was shot just above the back of her left eye, from up close. Dave Rosser, the hospital medical director you've just heard from, says she's going to need a lot more treatment and specialist care.
SIMON: Phil, in the United States - and around the world - we've seen pictures of demonstrations of support and solidarity, from Pakistani schoolgirls. Help us understand the level of interest Pakistanis that you've encountered, have in her story.
REEVES: Oh, very great interest, indeed. I mean, Pakistanis were horrified by the attack on Malala. Her story's still all over the newspapers here. You see her picture repeatedly flashing up on the TV; often accompanied by slow, sad music. In fact, the scale of the media coverage, and the amount of focus specifically on Malala, appears to have greatly angered the Pakistani Taliban - the people who carried out this attack. They've responded by threatening to attack the Pakistani and international media. The shootings also triggered a lot of heated debate here, about the kind of course that the country's taking.
One of these is over whether the Pakistani government should now launch a military offensive into North Waziristan. That's the part of the tribal belt that's used as a haven for the Pakistani Taliban. And by going in there, to attempt to crush the militants - what you might call progressive Pakistanis, who see the rise of violent Islamist militancy in this country, as an existential threat to their society. A calling for that, but there doesn't appear to be political consensus among the politicians and generals.
SIMON: Does this seem to be - realizing, obviously, that we're just speaking a week and a half after the event - kind of signature event that can change public thinking and sentiments, at least among the people with whom you've spoken?
REEVES: Well, you know, that was very much the focus of debate, at the beginning of all this. Pakistan's a deeply divided country. But the disgust and anger over this attack, you know, they - it really was shared by many, many people; and it did seem to create a rare moment of consensus. But that has since begun to dissipate, for various reasons. One of them is that initially, the public outrage focused only on the Taliban and their violent campaign to stamp out girls' education. Other issues have started to percolate into this. There's a discussion going on about whether shooting a 15-year-old schoolgirl in the head, just for calling for the rights of girls to be educated, is as condemnable - or less condemnable - than killing civilians, including children, with missiles fired from CIA drones that were meant to target militants.
So that's one level of debate that's now fractured the public mood. And another one is that the lens is widening. Articles are beginning to appear in the papers, that examine the dismal record of the Pakistani government in providing education for girls; especially for impoverished children, in general. Pakistan's got one of the worst records in the world, in that regard. Latest stats from UNESCO say that nearly two-thirds of Pakistan's poorest girls are out of school.
SIMON: NPR's Philip Reeves in Islamabad. Thanks so much.
REEVES: You're welcome. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Federalist No. 34
The Same Subject Continued (Concerning the General Power of Taxation)
To the People of the State of New York:
I FLATTER myself it has been clearly shown in my last number that the particular States, under the proposed Constitution, would have COEQUAL authority with the Union in the article of revenue, except as to duties on imports. As this leaves open to the States far the greatest part of the resources of the community, there can be no color for the assertion that they would not possess means as abundant as could be desired for the supply of their own wants, independent of all external control. That the field is sufficiently wide will more fully appear when we come to advert to the inconsiderable share of the public expenses for which it will fall to the lot of the State governments to provide.
To argue upon abstract principles that this co-ordinate authority cannot exist, is to set up supposition and theory against fact and reality. However proper such reasonings might be to show that a thing OUGHT NOT TO EXIST, they are wholly to be rejected when they are made use of to prove that it does not exist contrary to the evidence of the fact itself. It is well known that in the Roman republic the legislative authority, in the last resort, resided for ages in two different political bodies not as branches of the same legislature, but as distinct and independent legislatures, in each of which an opposite interest prevailed: in one the patrician; in the other, the plebian. Many arguments might have been adduced to prove the unfitness of two such seemingly contradictory authorities, each having power to ANNUL or REPEAL the acts of the other. But a man would have been regarded as frantic who should have attempted at Rome to disprove their existence. It will be readily understood that I allude to the COMITIA CENTURIATA and the COMITIA TRIBUTA. The former, in which the people voted by centuries, was so arranged as to give a superiority to the patrician interest; in the latter, in which numbers prevailed, the plebian interest had an entire predominancy. And yet these two legislatures coexisted for ages, and the Roman republic attained to the utmost height of human greatness.
In the case particularly under consideration, there is no such contradiction as appears in the example cited; there is no power on either side to annul the acts of the other. And in practice there is little reason to apprehend any inconvenience; because, in a short course of time, the wants of the States will naturally reduce themselves within A VERY NARROW COMPASS; and in the interim, the United States will, in all probability, find it convenient to abstain wholly from those objects to which the particular States would be inclined to resort.
To form a more precise judgment of the true merits of this question, it will be well to advert to the proportion between the objects that will require a federal provision in respect to revenue, and those which will require a State provision. We shall discover that the former are altogether unlimited, and that the latter are circumscribed within very moderate bounds. In pursuing this inquiry, we must bear in mind that we are not to confine our view to the present period, but to look forward to remote futurity. Constitutions of civil government are not to be framed upon a calculation of existing exigencies, but upon a combination of these with the probable exigencies of ages, according to the natural and tried course of human affairs. Nothing, therefore, can be more fallacious than to infer the extent of any power, proper to be lodged in the national government, from an estimate of its immediate necessities. There ought to be a CAPACITY to provide for future contingencies as they may happen; and as these are illimitable in their nature, it is impossible safely to limit that capacity. It is true, perhaps, that a computation might be made with sufficient accuracy to answer the purpose of the quantity of revenue requisite to discharge the subsisting engagements of the Union, and to maintain those establishments which, for some time to come, would suffice in time of peace. But would it be wise, or would it not rather be the extreme of folly, to stop at this point, and to leave the government intrusted with the care of the national defense in a state of absolute incapacity to provide for the protection of the community against future invasions of the public peace, by foreign war or domestic convulsions? If, on the contrary, we ought to exceed this point, where can we stop, short of an indefinite power of providing for emergencies as they may arise? Though it is easy to assert, in general terms, the possibility of forming a rational judgment of a due provision against probable dangers, yet we may safely challenge those who make the assertion to bring forward their data, and may affirm that they would be found as vague and uncertain as any that could be produced to establish the probable duration of the world. Observations confined to the mere prospects of internal attacks can deserve no weight; though even these will admit of no satisfactory calculation: but if we mean to be a commercial people, it must form a part of our policy to be able one day to defend that commerce. The support of a navy and of naval wars would involve contingencies that must baffle all the efforts of political arithmetic.
Admitting that we ought to try the novel and absurd experiment in politics of tying up the hands of government from offensive war founded upon reasons of state, yet certainly we ought not to disable it from guarding the community against the ambition or enmity of other nations. A cloud has been for some time hanging over the European world. If it should break forth into a storm, who can insure us that in its progress a part of its fury would not be spent upon us? No reasonable man would hastily pronounce that we are entirely out of its reach. Or if the combustible materials that now seem to be collecting should be dissipated without coming to maturity, or if a flame should be kindled without extending to us, what security can we have that our tranquillity will long remain undisturbed from some other cause or from some other quarter? Let us recollect that peace or war will not always be left to our option; that however moderate or unambitious we may be, we cannot count upon the moderation, or hope to extinguish the ambition of others. Who could have imagined at the conclusion of the last war that France and Britain, wearied and exhausted as they both were, would so soon have looked with so hostile an aspect upon each other? To judge from the history of mankind, we shall be compelled to conclude that the fiery and destructive passions of war reign in the human breast with much more powerful sway than the mild and beneficent sentiments of peace; and that to model our political systems upon speculations of lasting tranquillity, is to calculate on the weaker springs of the human character.
What are the chief sources of expense in every government? What has occasioned that enormous accumulation of debts with which several of the European nations are oppressed? The answers plainly is, wars and rebellions; the support of those institutions which are necessary to guard the body politic against these two most mortal diseases of society. The expenses arising from those institutions which are relative to the mere domestic police of a state, to the support of its legislative, executive, and judicial departments, with their different appendages, and to the encouragement of agriculture and manufactures (which will comprehend almost all the objects of state expenditure), are insignificant in comparison with those which relate to the national defense.
In the kingdom of Great Britain, where all the ostentatious apparatus of monarchy is to be provided for, not above a fifteenth part of the annual income of the nation is appropriated to the class of expenses last mentioned; the other fourteen fifteenths are absorbed in the payment of the interest of debts contracted for carrying on the wars in which that country has been engaged, and in the maintenance of fleets and armies. If, on the one hand, it should be observed that the expenses incurred in the prosecution of the ambitious enterprises and vainglorious pursuits of a monarchy are not a proper standard by which to judge of those which might be necessary in a republic, it ought, on the other hand, to be remarked that there should be as great a disproportion between the profusion and extravagance of a wealthy kingdom in its domestic administration, and the frugality and economy which in that particular become the modest simplicity of republican government. If we balance a proper deduction from one side against that which it is supposed ought to be made from the other, the proportion may still be considered as holding good.
But let us advert to the large debt which we have ourselves contracted in a single war, and let us only calculate on a common share of the events which disturb the peace of nations, and we shall instantly perceive, without the aid of any elaborate illustration, that there must always be an immense disproportion between the objects of federal and state expenditures. It is true that several of the States, separately, are encumbered with considerable debts, which are an excrescence of the late war. But this cannot happen again, if the proposed system be adopted; and when these debts are discharged, the only call for revenue of any consequence, which the State governments will continue to experience, will be for the mere support of their respective civil list; to which, if we add all contingencies, the total amount in every State ought to fall considerably short of two hundred thousand pounds.
In framing a government for posterity as well as ourselves, we ought, in those provisions which are designed to be permanent, to calculate, not on temporary, but on permanent causes of expense. If this principle be a just one our attention would be directed to a provision in favor of the State governments for an annual sum of about two hundred thousand pounds; while the exigencies of the Union could be susceptible of no limits, even in imagination. In this view of the subject, by what logic can it be maintained that the local governments ought to command, in perpetuity, an EXCLUSIVE source of revenue for any sum beyond the extent of two hundred thousand pounds? To extend its power further, in EXCLUSION of the authority of the Union, would be to take the resources of the community out of those hands which stood in need of them for the public welfare, in order to put them into other hands which could have no just or proper occasion for them.
Suppose, then, the convention had been inclined to proceed upon the principle of a repartition of the objects of revenue, between the Union and its members, in PROPORTION to their comparative necessities; what particular fund could have been selected for the use of the States, that would not either have been too much or too little too little for their present, too much for their future wants? As to the line of separation between external and internal taxes, this would leave to the States, at a rough computation, the command of two thirds of the resources of the community to defray from a tenth to a twentieth part of its expenses; and to the Union, one third of the resources of the community, to defray from nine tenths to nineteen twentieths of its expenses. If we desert this boundary and content ourselves with leaving to the States an exclusive power of taxing houses and lands, there would still be a great disproportion between the MEANS and the END; the possession of one third of the resources of the community to supply, at most, one tenth of its wants. If any fund could have been selected and appropriated, equal to and not greater than the object, it would have been inadequate to the discharge of the existing debts of the particular States, and would have left them dependent on the Union for a provision for this purpose.
The preceding train of observation will justify the position which has been elsewhere laid down, that A CONCURRENT JURISDICTION in the article of taxation was the only admissible substitute for an entire subordination, in respect to this branch of power, of State authority to that of the Union.
Any separation of the objects of revenue that could have been fallen upon, would have amounted to a sacrifice of the great INTERESTS of the Union to the POWER of the individual States. The convention thought the concurrent jurisdiction preferable to that subordination; and it is evident that it has at least the merit of reconciling an indefinite constitutional power of taxation in the Federal government with an adequate and independent power in the States to provide for their own necessities. There remain a few other lights, in which this important subject of taxation will claim a further consideration.

Tourists work on their tan or hide from the beating mid-August sun under colorful umbrellas on Benidorm's Levante beach. Benidorm is also called "Manhattan of the Mediterranean" for its many skyscrapers that line its beaches.
The area around Alicante has been inhabited for over 7000 years, with the first tribes of hunter gatherers moving down gradually from Central Europe between 5000 and 3000 BC. Some of the earliest settlements were made on the slopes of Mount Benacantil. By 1000 BC Greek and Phoenician traders had begun to visit the eastern coast of Spain, establishing small trading ports and introducing the native Iberian tribes to the alphabet, iron and the pottery wheel. By the 3rd century BC, the rival armies of Carthage and Rome began to invade and fight for control of the Iberian Peninsula. The Carthaginian general Hamilcar Barca established the fortified settlement of Akra Leuka (Greek: Aκρα Λευκa, meaning "White Mountain" or "White Point"), where Alicante stands today. Archeological site of Tossal de Manises, ancient Iberian-Carthaginian-Roman city of "Akra-Leuke" or "Lucentum".Although the Carthaginians conquered much of the land around Alicante, the Romans would eventually rule Hispania Tarraconensis for over 700 years. By the 5th century AD, Rome was in decline; the Roman predecessor town of Alicante, known as Lucentum (Latin), was more or less under the control of the Visigothic warlord Theudimer. However neither the Romans nor the Goths put up much resistance to the Arab conquest of Medina Laqant in the 8th century. The Moors ruled southern and eastern Spain until the 11th century reconquista (reconquest). Alicante was finally taken in 1246 by the Castilian king Alfonso X, but it passed soon and definitely to the Kingdom of Valencia in 1298 with the King James II of Aragon. It gained the status of Royal Village (Vila Reial) with representation in the medieval Valencian Parliament.After several decades of being the battlefield where Kingdom of Castile and the Crown of Aragón clashed, Alicante became a major Mediterranean trading station exporting rice, wine, olive oil, oranges and wool. But between 1609 and 1614 King Felipe III expelled thousands of moriscos who had remained in Valencia after the reconquista, due to their allegiance with Barbary pirates who continually attacked coastal cities and caused much harm to trade. This act cost the region dearly; with so many skilled artisans and agricultural labourers gone, the feudal nobility found itself sliding into bankruptcy. Things got worse in the early 18th century; after the War of Spanish Succession, Alicante went into a long, slow decline, surviving through the 18th and 19th centuries by making shoes and growing agricultural produce such as oranges and almonds, and thanks to its fisheries. The end of the 19th century witnessed a sharp recovery of the local economy with increasing international trade and the growth of the city harbour leading to increased exports of several products (particularly during World War I when Spain was a neutral country).During the early 20th century, Alicante was a minor capital which enjoyed the benefit of Spain's neutrality during World War I, which provided new opportunities for the local industry and agriculture. The Rif War in the 1920s saw numerous alicantinos drafted to fight in the long and bloody campaigns in the former Spanish protectorate (Northern Morocco) against the Rif rebels. The political unrest of the late 1920s led to the victory of republican candidates in local council elections throughout the country, and the abdication of King Alfonso XIII. The proclamation of the Second Spanish Republic was much celebrated in the city on 14 April 1931. The Spanish Civil War broke out on 17 July 1936. Alicante was the last city loyal to the Republican government to be occupied by dictator Franco's troops on 1 April 1939, and its harbour saw the last Republican government officials fleeing the country. Even if not as famous as the bombing of Guernica by the German Luftwaffe, Alicante was the target of some vicious air bombings during the three years of civil conflict, most remarkably the bombing by the Italian Aviazione Legionaria of the Mercado de Abastos in 25 May 1938 in which more than 300 civilians perished.The next 20 years under Franco's dictatorship were difficult for Alicante as it was for the entire country. However, the late 1950s and early 1960s saw the onset of a lasting transformation of the city due to tourism. Large buildings and complexes rose in nearby Albufereta and Playa de San Juan, with the benign climate being the best tool to bring prospective buyers and tourists who kept hotels reasonably busy. The tourist development, aside from construction, also brought numerous businesses such as restaurants, bars and other activities focused on visitors. Also, the old airfield at Rabasa was closed and air traffic moved to the new El Altet Airport, which made for a convenient facility for charter flights bringing tourists from northern European countries.When dictator Franco died in 1975, his successor Juan Carlos I oversaw the transition of Spain to a democratic constitutional monarchy. Governments of nationalities and regions were given more autonomy, including the Valencian region.Today, Alicante is one of the fastest-growing cities in Spain. The local economy is based upon tourism directed to the beaches of the Costa Blanca and particularly the second residence construction boom which started in the 1960s and reinvigorated again by the late 1990s.Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alicante

We've all been there. One day, you look around your house, and there's just So. Much. Stuff. Stuff in boxes, stuff on the walls, stuff in the corners—just…stuff. If you're gearing up to sell your home, you're going to have to deal with all that accumulated clutter eventually. Luckily, there are plenty of simple strategies for getting the job done!
Arm yourself for the Crusade Against the Clutter, and use these top tips to transform your home before selling.
Start Early
If you aren't prepared, things can quickly get overwhelming. After all, you're not only getting your home ready to sell, but you're also packing things up, finding a new home, and dealing with your finances. It makes sense that decluttering your home isn't first on your list, but it's one of the most important steps!
Before you list your home, you want the space to be ready to wow buyers from the second they walk through the door. If you kick off your decluttering months in advance, you'll be in much better shape come listing time.
Expand Your Storage
For many people, clutter accumulates simply because they don't know what they actually have. An easy way to fix this issue and make your home more organized is by coming up with an intentional storage solution.
Hit the store and pick up some sliding storage and plastic tubs, then label each unit and keep it stored anyway until needed. That way, you'll know exactly what you have and where it is. Never worry about misplaced holiday decorations or a surplus of school supplies ever again! Plus, a lot of your stuff will already be neatly packed away come moving time.
Take It Little by Little
Decluttering can be a long process, filling up nights and weekends and free time—especially if you put it off until the last minute. Luckily, if you start ahead of time, you'll have the luxury of taking it little by little. And not just one room at a time—we mean really little, like an hour or two hours spent on just the kitchen cabinets or bedroom closets.
You can even make it fun! Get everybody in the house together and play a game of 12-12-12. The rules are simple: walk through the house and find 12 items you want to keep, 12 items you want to get rid of, and 12 items you want to sell/donate. You'd be surprised how quickly you can reduce your clutter after a few rounds, and it only takes a couple of minutes!
Make it FAST
For the last tip, we've gotten the inside scoop from professional organizer, Peter Walsh. Walsh says that decluttering is as simple as remembering this short acronym:
Fix a time. Plan ahead, and find a time that works for everyone in the house—and make attendance mandatory!
Anything not used in twelve months. If you haven't used it in a year, then you probably don't need it. Ask yourself a few questions: Do I need it? Is it valuable to me? Is it worth the space it's taking up? If no, then kick it to the curb.
Someone else's stuff. Still have that borrowed tupperware? Give it back. Holding onto things that family members have left behind? Send it their way. If it's not yours, find a new home for it!
Trash. It's easy to get sentimental and hold onto things that are well past their expiration date (metaphorically speaking). Don't be afraid to take the plunge—and maybe even go overboard—and trash some of your older belongings. If you don't want to go full in and trash it, then you can always donate it to a good cause.
Get Your Home Ready to Sell
Decluttering is just one small step in the selling journey—albeit a fairly time-consuming one. Luckily, we're here to help you carry the load! Give us a call to learn a few more tips for getting rid of your clutter and staging your home for success.
In the meantime, feel free to explore our additional selling resources, like our neighborhood sold report and Comparative Market Analysis, and let us know when you're ready to get started!

From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...This dish is a staple on the menus of American Chinese restaurants. It's one of those dishes that is more popular in the United States than it is in China where you will find the sauce more commonly served with fish. Most of you are familiar with this twice-fried and highly caloric treat. Interestingly, it is not universally enjoyed by diners and it has as many detractors as fans. My own family illustrates the point. The Silver Fox loves it, me, not so much. We eat a lot of Chinese food, so it ends up on our table, by default, several times a year. The version I make retains the yin and yang of the sweet and sour combination, but I've completely changed the way the pork is prepared. The pork in my version is stir-fried in a minimal amount of oil and never sees the deep-fryer. I also use more vegetables and keep the sauce slightly thinner than what you would find on a restaurant plate. People are often flummoxed by the quantities in Chinese recipes. Dishes that looks like they will feed two people are meant to feed four. That's because a typical Chinese meal consists of several courses and smaller portions are more appropriate when you have many dishes on the table. The recipe I'm featuring today looks long and complicated. It's not. Most of the ingredients used here go into sauce components that come together in minutes. Better still, all of those ingredients can be found in any grocery store. If sweet and sour combinations appeal to you, I suspect you'll like this lighter version of the real thing. The dish has great eye appeal and will add wonderful color to your table. I hope you will give it a try. Here's the recipe.
Sweet and Sour Pork...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite
1 tablespoon cornstarch
3/4 cup chicken stock
3 tablespoons white vinegar
3 tablespoons light brown sugar
3 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon pineapple juice from canned pineapple chunks
5 teaspoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon chopped fresh ginger
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
1 cup coarsely chopped red and green bell peppers
3/4 cup coarsely chopped onion
3/4 cup canned pineapple chunks
1 (12-oz.) pork tenderloin thinly sliced
1/4 cup chopped green onion
1) To make sweet and sour sauce: In a small bowl combine water and cornstarch, and stir to mix them well. Set aside. Combine chicken stock, vinegar, sugar, ketchup, and pineapple juice in a small saucepan. Stir with a fork or a whisk to combine everything well. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat and cook 1 minute. Stir in cornstarch mixture and cook just until sauce becomes shiny and thickened. Remove from heat and keep warm.
2) To make sherry-soy mixture: Combine sherry, soy sauce, and salt in a small bowl and stir well.
3) Heat a wok or a large, deep skillet over high heat. Add 2 tablespoons oil and swirl to coat pan. Add ginger and garlic, toss well and cook until fragrant about 15 seconds. Add bell peppers and onions and cook, tossing often, until fragrant and beginning to wilt. Add pineapple and cook 1 minute more. Transfer mixture to a platter, leaving as much cooking liquid in pan as possible.
4) Heat pan again. Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil if needed. Add pork and stir-fry just until no longer pink, about 1 minute. Quickly add sherry-soy sauce mixture and toss well. Return bell pepper mixture to pan and toss to mix everything together well. Add sweet-and-sour sauce and cook, tossing often, until all ingredients are evenly seasoned. Add green onion and toss again. Transfer to a serving platter and serve hot or warm. Yield 3 to 4 servings.

Bontrager XR5 Team Issue MTB 29-inch Tire
The Tubeless Ready XR5 Team Issue tire offers strength, traction, and fast-rolling efficiency in a lightweight trail ready package. XR5 delivers the supple feel of an 120 TPI XC tire and the aggressive traction of an Enduro tire for superior performance in demanding conditions. Choose XR5 to stay light on the climbs with confident grip on even the most harrowing descents.
- A trail tire that excels in loose, rocky, and wet conditions
- Aggressive tread for confident cornering and braking traction on wet, slick, demanding trails
- Tubeless Ready (TLR) for easy tubeless setup and puncture protection
- Supple and strong Inner Strength casing provides lightweight sidewall protection
- Lightweight 120 TPI casing provides great ride feel and tire performance
Going tubeless allows you to run lower tire pressures without the added weight of a tube. Lower tire pressure has many benefits, including greater traction, lower rolling resistance over rough surfaces, and decreased risk of a puncture-related flat.
Tubeless-ready rims and tires are parts of a complete system that eliminate the need for tubes by creating an airtight chamber between the rim and tire. Liquid sealant is added to the chamber to fill small punctures and maintain air pressure while you ride.
UST (Universal Standard for Tubeless) is a specific type of tubeless system that dictates the shape of the rim and tire bead. UST rims should be paired with UST-specific tires for best results.

8 Signs Your Car Needs a Professional Mechanic
Precision Import Auto Service in St. Louis, MO Is Here To Help
Sometimes it's hard to know when your car just needs a break and when it needs a mechanic. If you notice any of the signs detailed below, it's important to have your vehicle inspected by a professional mechanic as soon as possible. By addressing problems early on, you can help to prevent more serious damage and costly repairs down the road.
1. Car Experiences Stalling
Is your car experiencing stalling issues? This situation isn't ideal and could indicate various problems, such as a malfunctioning fuel pump or ignition issues. These are concerns you'd rather not confront while driving. We do not recommend waiting to see if this issue will correct itself.
If you sense that your car is struggling to accelerate, regardless of how forcefully you press the gas pedal, it's advisable to pull over and request assistance immediately.
2. Trouble Steering
Has your steering wheel suddenly become harder to control? Are your turns less reliable or smooth? This often indicates a significant problem with steering components, such as low power steering fluid or another malfunction. Any issue affecting your ability to control the car requires immediate attention at an auto repair shop.
3. Fluid Leaks
If your vehicle is leaving behind puddles of liquid, it's a sign you should investigate further. Examine the liquid closely. Water is usually not a concern, often originating from air conditioning condensation.
However, liquids like oil, transmission fluid (red or brown), coolant (blue, yellow, green), power steering fluid, or brake fluid (thick but clear) warrant closer inspection. A leak in one of these vital systems is likely the culprit.
Visit Precision Import Auto Service to fix the leak and replace the fluids before it worsens and affects your car's performance.
4. Worn Out Brakes
Brakes naturally wear down over time. If your brakes are losing their effectiveness and emitting strange noises, it's a sign they may need attention. Screeching or squealing sounds usually indicate worn-out brake pads requiring replacement.
Shaking or vibrating brakes can suggest various issues, from worn brake pads to brake fluid problems or alignment issues-problems best addressed by auto repair experts.
5. Alignment Issues
If you've noticed your car's ride has become notably less smooth in just a few months, it might be time for a trip to the auto shop. Don't fret over potentially costly repairs; a shaky or vibrating ride, especially at higher speeds, often stems from wheel or alignment issues.
Even after a proper wheel alignment, wheels can gradually shift, influenced by normal wear and tear or sudden incidents like accidents or unexpected bumps. Realignment is a straightforward procedure best handled by professionals who can swiftly address the issue.
6. Uncommon Engine Noise
Engines should run smoothly. While they may become noisier with age, sudden noises or difficulty in turning the engine should prompt a visit to the auto shop. Keep an ear out for any unexpected grinding, popping, or growling noises when your engine is idling.
7. Diagnostic Lights
This one can be a bit tricky. Modern vehicles come equipped with engine diagnostic or check engine lights, but they don't always signal a genuine problem. Some are programmed to illuminate after a certain mileage for a routine checkup. Occasionally, the car's computer module may malfunction and trigger the lights when nothing's wrong.
However, these lights also serve as valuable indicators that something within your engine might be amiss. Generally, if a diagnostic light accompanies other signs like poor performance or unusual noises, it's a good idea to visit Precision Import Auto Service. If you're simply tired of looking at it, a quick check at the shop can confirm if there's an actual issue.
8. Unpleasant Exhaust
Surprisingly, exhaust issues can help diagnose serious auto problems. If you notice your exhaust suddenly becoming dirty, black, or emits foul odors, some part of the filtering system may be clogged or damaged. It's advisable to have a mechanic investigate, whether it's related to your catalytic converter or another unknown issue.
Stop by Precision Import Auto Service located at 5050 Griffin Rd in St. Louis, MO or call 314-842-1970 to talk to one of our friendly and professional technicians.
Nicholas Beck, 07/10/2024Fritz and the team get the work done. Brought in my Honda Accord for some heavy road noise. They had the problem diagnosed and fixed immediately for a fraction of the price I would have payed elsewhere. Will be coming back to Precision Import Auto Service for any and all future work.

Absolutely wonderful pictures of the historic course. A true masterpiece!
I ordered a few images from Evan and had a few questions before ordering. He was very responsive and verified my order before printing to verify what I ordered. The images are vibrant, sharp, and clear. I hung them in my office at work and everyone is impressed with the quality. I will be ordering from Evan again!
As a lifelong golfer, having golf related art work in my home and office is important. However it's hard to find pictures that capture the feeling of the day. Evan does a great job and this shot of 7 is like being there on the tee with a sand wedge - or perhaps 6 iron, depending on the day - in my hand.
I really wasn't sure that a photo could be so clear on a canvas. It's beautiful!
