This live event has finished
- The flooding in Worcestershire showed little sign of easing today.
- There were 19 flood warnings in place for the Midlands this morning, though it is important to stress that riverside towns such as Evesham and Upton are still very much open for business.
- Send your pictures to email@example.com
That's all for today.
Thanks, as always, to all our contributors, particularly Dave Throup of the Environment Agency.

ANOTHER wet week lies ahead for Worcestershire — with the Environment Agency now predicting the River Severn will continue to rise until tomorrow.
But the end could be in sight with the Met Office predicting much drier weather from tomorrow onwards.

FFH Authority Elects New Chair, Reflects On 2013Monday, January 13, 2014
The final Fairfield Hills Authority meeting of 2013 indicated changes to come for 2014.
The role of chairman has passed from James Bernardi to authority member Thomas Connors.
Noting his "last night as chair" at the December 18 meeting, Mr Bernardi said, "I've got to thank you all for being volunteers dedicated to making the campus better for our town. You do it because you are dedicated, you donate your time, and I am proud of the work you all do."
Fairfield Hills Research Reveals 'Fascinating' Look At Facility's PastWednesday, December 11, 2013
More than once Andrea Zimmermann said she was surprised by what she learned recently while researching Fairfield Hills. Author, researcher and Newtown resident, Ms Zimmermann in October submitted to the town a preliminary 39-page report of narrative and photographs documenting the property history and specific buildings at the former state hospital.
"You could always keep talking about Fairfield Hills because it's fascinating," she observed.
Danbury Hall Cleared For Demolition By State Historic Commission, EPAThursday, November 14, 2013
State and federal agencies involved with clearing Danbury Hall and a set of former staff residences at Fairfield Hills for demolition have both provided the necessary documentation for the town to move forward with the project. Now the only thing standing between the buildings and the wrecking ball is a remediation plan being prepared by a town contractor, which is expected to be delivered within the next week or two.
Preservation Bid May Delay FFH DemolitionThursday, August 22, 2013 at 8:51 am
A July 29 letter from a state historic preservation official suggesting the remaining structures at Fairfield Hills could have historic value is riling local officials and could delay the planned demolition of Danbury Hall and the cluster of vacant residential homes adjacent to Mile Hill South.

Dunno...I doubled up on Under the Dome last night watching the last 2 eps...not sure what the complaining is about. It's network tv. The last 2 haven't been any lesser than the pilot. Is it terrrific, no. But it's entertaining enough. It's network folks. Where they try to appeal to EVERYONE. They still haven't grasped the 'if you build a good show...viewers will come' phiosophy so you HAVE to expect this. I think the actors are trying hard enough, it's just not written very well. I'm gonna stick with it because I knew going in this wasn't going to be earth shattering.
if anyone doesnt check out the FX thread, the Bridge starts tomorrow night
The third episode of the Dome was a lot better than the first two. I think what did it is they stopped trying to cram as much crap in as they could and I am used to TV characters so it doesn't bug me as much how different several are from what I just read a month ago.
Meanwhile, I was really impressed with the first episode of Siberia (which took things nice and slow), but the second one was lacking (too slow, and the bad acting by the Canadian girl was painful).

Canadian Political Economy and Constitutional Review: A Case Study of Ontario and British Columbia
Date of Award
Degree Type
Degree Name
Master of Arts (MA)
Political Science
Michael Atkinson
This thesis examines the growing aggressiveness of the provincial governments in developing their own constitutional proposals by analyzing the interconnection between the economies of the provinces and the provincial government's subsequent proposals. The development of advanced monopoly capitalism has required government intervention into more areas of social and economic planning and this growth of government intervention has occurred in large part at the provincial government level, causing provincial bureaucracies to grow in size and expertise and to more readily challenge federal government policies and initiatives. As well, the regional segmentation of the Canadian economy has caused fractions of the bourgeoisie within each of the provinces to turn to the provincial governments to aid them in capitalist development. This in turn has led provincial governments to seek more power in aiding their particular segment of the economy by asking for revisions in the constitution. This thesis attempts to draw conclusions about this general trend in Canada today by examining two specific case studies, Ontario and British Columbia. These case studies indicate why provincial governments have become so interested in constitutional review and why provincial governments have developed distinct constitutional proposals.

A lovely story about Romney/Ryan.
This is the best, most concise explanation of the past four years ever.
Lee Atwater, a head republican strategist, in an anonymous interview in 1981. He is admitting that republicans use coded-language to appeal to the racists in their base. Because, as he always said, "people vote their fears."
Lee, who would eventually become the head of the Republican National Committee, helped Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush win their Presidential elections by teaching them to use overtly-racist tactics.
When the N-word became taboo, Republicans began referring to black people in less-direct ways, with terms like "welfare queens." They learned how to say the N-word, without saying the N-word.
Sadly, this still continues today. As seen in Newt Gingrich's claim that Obama is a "food stamp President" and Rick Santorum's assertion that he doesn't "want to make black people's lives better by giving them someone else's money."
(via thesoapboxschtick)
Actually, no one has a right to police, shame, or otherwise dictate the actions of others… ESPECIALLY not coming from some religious high-horse, hypocritical morality code.
I'm not even going to say that you can't think ill of people who use contraception. That's your prerogative. It makes you look like a prehistoric asshole, but so long as you aren't out there trying to keep other people from receiving and using contraception (or anything else for that matter), that's your business.
Here's the thing though: all of this political bullshitting over contraception and college being snobbish and a marriage between two people of the same gender or sex being tantamount to bestiality has NOTHING to do with the mountain of debt we're suffocating under, thanks in no small part to the eight years of hell the country suffered under the asinine 'leadership' of George Dubya.
The economy is the issue. The thing we need to be talking about is how the cost of living is so incredibly disproportionate to what people are actually making that people are having to choose between feeding, clothing, and sheltering themselves. Let's talk about employment. Let's talk about education reform. Let's talk about healthcare. Let's talk about shit that actually has to do with making life livable for people.
A person's body is their own. What they do with it is their own business. No, you don't get to throw in that bullshit about "but what about the baby's life", because you know your monkeyass ain't adopting or doing SHIT for the innumerable unloved and unwanted kids born into the world. You cannot shame someone into giving birth to a child they don't want… especially if it is counterproductive to their mental or physical health. Every pro-lifer should be made to adopt and so help me if I hear another pro-lifer who's for the death penalty or thinks we need to be bombing MORE people. Like, seriously, what is your damage? Are people really that obtuse?
Answer: Yes. Yes they are.
I just… This shit always happens during election time. Who the fuck told Republicans they dictate the morality of everyone? Who told them to talk shit about women's reproductive rights? Who told them to tell me and my ilk that we are sick and 'in bondage' because of who we're attracted to?
Shut the fuck up and get the fuck out with that bullshit.
Rush Limbaugh, you disgusting greasy fuck… You don't have a uterus. You don't get to say what goes on in one.
Rick Santorum, you sack of shit, nobody asked you about your opinion of JFK, college, or gay people. You don't like gay people? Don't hang around them… but you really can't expect to spew bigoted bullshit and not get called to the carpet for it.
Mitt Romney, you thinly veiled racist and classist, take your lily white ass and get the fuck out. You ain't created a goddamn job NOWHERE. You've fired thousands of people and ENJOYED it. You're a fucking caricature of a capitalist crackpot. Just… go the fuck away and take your ignorance and unappealing awkwardness with you.
The entire GOP is a fucking JOKE. Every single one of them. It's like… there's no other word for it: they're insane.
Why yes, that is Rick Santorum's face made out of gay porn.
Oh. My. God.
Sometimes, I have great hope for this world.
May I just revel in this for a moment, please…
Ron Paul sucks
A vote for Ron Paul is a vote for "I don't really understand politics or policy."
A vote for Ron Paul is a vote for "I value my rights as a white person being able to smoke weed over everything else. And I may not really even know what that 'everything else' may be."
Pretty fucking much.
Lisa Chan, the actress who appeared in a political ad that was widely criticized for furthering negative stereotypes of Asian-Americans, has apologized, calling her participation "a mistake."
Smear Campaign of the Day: GOP presidential candidate Rick Santorum, who has been battling a certain "Google Problem" for nearly a decade, apparently thought it wise to have his latest political ad feature a Mitt Romney lookalike firing a brown, frothy substance at a cardboard cutout of his image.
Then again, considering Santorum is now tied for first place with Romney, maybe it was? After all, everyone loves a good poop joke.
In related news, Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine — AKA the "guy who got kicked out of Metallica for snorting too much cocaine" — has official endorsed Rick Santorum for President.
"You know, I think Santorum has some presidential qualities," he told MusicRadar.com, "and I'm hoping that if it does come down to it, we'll see a Republican in the White House… and that it's Rick Santorum."

Water Wars
Western Farmers Fighting For Their Share
"What makes the desert beautiful
is that somewhere it hides a well."
– Antoine de Saint-Exupery, French author
The Western Cotton Belt has seen an enthusiastic return to cotton. Early predictions for planted acres were 27 percent over last year, according to the National Cotton Council's planting intention survey.
Greater than normal snowpack in the Sierra Nevada Mountains of California, which supplies water to the San Joaquin Valley, pushed producer expectations in the West.
Unfortunately, the moisture went north of the watersheds for parts of Arizona, all of New Mexico and the Lower El Paso Valley. As the window for planting began to shrink, those areas realized that the needed water might not be coming.
On top of the reduced water supply, regulatory issues continue to impact producers throughout the Western Cotton Belt.
The breadth of water issues across the Belt this year is staggering, and, while the number of total acres of cotton will be up in the arid West, producers are still forced to manage their water carefully at many different levels.
Water Problems Near El Paso
In the Lower El Paso Valley of Texas, the situation is really bad, according to Tornillo farmer Craig Ivey. The heavy snows in Colorado did not fall far enough south to impact the watershed of the Rio Grande, where Ivey gets all of his water.
Producers south of El Paso have been allotted only three and a half acre-feet for their crops this year, far less than necessary to grow cotton at optimum levels in the area.
Robert Rios, Water Master for the El Paso County Water Improvement District, says the situation is very bleak.
"It's not good, unless we get a lot of water," he says.
There is potential for some water as the monsoon flow approaches in early July. But, it is the snowpack in the southern Rocky Mountains that is the safety net for the Rio Grande Valley cotton farmer. That window of opportunity is gone this year.
The reservoir that stores and supplies water for the cotton-growing regions of central New Mexico and the El Paso Valley is Elephant Butte. According to Ramon Alvarez, who farms in the Mesilla Valley of New Mexico, Elephant Butte Reservoir still has some water in it, but the supply is low, and irrigation water from that particular source is limited.
Alvarez can supplement his river allotment with well water on most of his land. But, he has about 100 acres of leased land that he is not able to farm because there are no wells on site.
"Our cotton doesn't look bad," Alvarez says.
He has had little insect pressure so far. He says his fuel costs are tremendous, but with the good prices for his crop he should be able to overcome high-cost fuel.
Like Alvarez, and despite the water situation, Rios is still optimistic.
"It's not good, but if they stay in their water budget, they can make it," he says about producers south of El Paso. He also points to expectations of more normal precipitation levels.
"There's hope," he laughs nervously.
Missed Chances In Eastern Arizona
Farmers in eastern Arizona have also missed the needed snowpack on their watershed along the Arizona- New Mexico border.
Because of a water settlement with the Gila River Indian Community and low precipitation, there is pressure to reduce the six acre-feet of water the producers in the Safford Valley re-ceived for last year's crop.
Central Arizona, including Mari-copa, Pinal and Pima Counties, has the advantage of the Central Arizona Project (CAP), which brings water from the Colorado River. The heavy snows in Colorado and Utah have benefited the watershed for users of Colorado River water.
Colorado River Levels Improving
According to Ron Rayner, who farms west of the Phoenix metro area and in California, lake levels are up on the Colorado system, and the anticipated restrictions from the CAP will not occur in the immediate future.
"In general," he says, "the situation on the Colorado looks much better."
As a former board member for the CAP, he should know.
With Lake Powell, in northern Arizona and southern Utah, rising about a foot each day through July, it should take a lot of pressure off the demands placed on Colorado River water. Several ski resorts in the watershed were planning to operate until the Fourth of July weekend.
This is great news for those who rely on the river to supplement local water from small districts in central Arizona. But, it doesn't mean that farmers can become complacent.
Bryan Hartman, who farms in Pinal County and sits on the board of the Maricopa-Stanfield Irrigation and Drainage District, still has concerns about availability.
"We have lots of water," he says.
However, he wants his fellow producers to be smart and plan well for their water use.
With strong commodity prices, he doesn't want farmers to overdip into the water allotment by double-cropping high water-use grain crops.
"We need to be careful not to use too much water and to stay within the allotment," he says.
Hartman is also encouraging the district to look at ideas that can supplement the cost of water delivery. The board has recently taken a look at generating hydropower in the gravity-fed canals of his district.
"If we can save a few bucks, that's good," he says.
Water Efficiency Promoted
Both Rayner and Hartman agree that producers need to be aware of their water use and keep looking for ways to conserve and improve their water efficiency. This includes drought tolerance tests for cotton varieties and water delivery methods, including basin leveling and drip irrigation.
Riverdale, Calif., cotton farmer, Dan Errotabere, is a board member of the Westlands Water District. Although his water district has seen an abundant supply of water from its source in the Sierras, the district is only able to supply an 80 percent allotment of water to its producers.
"We've had a record supply of water this year," Errotabere says.
But, not enough to ensure a full 100 percent of the farmers' guaranteed water allotment because of concerns regarding endangered fish species in the Sacramento Delta in the northern part of the San Joaquin Valley.
Can Court Action Help?
In June, the San Luis and Delta Mendota Water Authority, a cooperative of central California water associations, announced plans to file suit asking a federal court to stop the Department of the Interior from cutting back water allotments from the Sacramento Delta.
In an April 20 press release, the California Department of Water Resources says that it is difficult to achieve the full allotment because of pumping restrictions in the Delta. The pumping restrictions are meant to protect the fish from being killed as they are sucked though the pumps.
Brent Murphree is the Cotton Board's Regional Communication Manager for the West. Contact him via email at email@example.com. Brent resides in Maricopa, Ariz.
Most Important Priority:
Is It Fish Or Food And Fiber?
Water In The Desert West
New Mexico and El Paso Valley
• Low water in the watershed.
• Limitations on water use.
• Moderate water in the watershed.
• Supplemented by Colorado River
except in the East.
• Abundant water in the watershed.
• Limitations on water use due to
Ted Sheely, a cotton producer who also sits on the Westlands Water District board, questions the priority of fish over food and fiber in the incredibly productive San Joaquin Valley of California.
"A non-native species, the striped bass, eats Delta smelt," Sheely says.
Populations of striped bass have increased in the Delta, leading many, including Sheely, to question if the pumps are doing as much damage as the striped bass.
The endangered fish issue is just one of the many regulatory demands that face the California cotton farmer. Restoration of waterways, expansion of the Clean Water Act and lawsuits from environmental groups all take time and focus from growing the crop.
"We have continued to take an incremental death of a thousand cuts," Sheely says.
But, protecting farmers' interests is a way of life in the Western growing regions. Sheely is a champion of HR 1837, the San Joaquin Water Reliability Act. The bill, sponsored by Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA21), would restore efficient operation of the region's water infrastructure, guaranteeing water to producers.
"The game is on for getting legislation passed to protect farmers' interests," he says.
The good story is that California cotton producers have abundant water this season for increased cotton acreage. Producer Dan Errotabere says that he hopes that the San Joaquin Valley still has the ability to harvest a large cotton crop in a timely manner.
"Our capacity to harvest has gone down with the reduced cotton acreage," he says.
It may tax capacity of the remaining gins and existing harvest equipment.
Sheely did not express the same concern. With tomato prices weak in the Valley and cotton prices high, Sheely says that he would have planned to plant more cotton had he known water would be this abundant.

Cornell Wins over Northeastern
Riley Nash got an assist on the winning goal for Cornell today, as the Big Red advanced against Northeastern 3-2. The goal came at 19:42 of the third period. Nash's season stats are now 35gp, 13-22-35.
Cornell awaits the winner of tonight's other Midwest regional game between Notre Dame and Bemidji State. Notre Dame are heavy favorites to advance this weekend, and no one apparently knows one damn thing about Bemidji State. I do know that Joel Otto and the tragically named Dale Smedsmo played there.

I grew up watching my parents drink coffee every day, either black or with cream. Those were the only two choices. Then, a few years back, the Starbucks craze caught on, and you see people everywhere drinking all kinds of coffee all the time. Not just with cream, but a "Grande Latte" with extra foam (whatever that is, I don't drink coffee). But who decided that coffee was the new big fad and that "everyone everywhere" needed it?

Episode 1 of 3
Duration: 1 hour
Ian Hislop asks when and why we British have bottled up or let out our feelings and how this has affected our history.
Revealing as much about ourselves today as about our past, this is a narrative history of emotion and identity over the last three hundred years, packed with extraordinary characters, fascinating vignettes and much humour, illuminated through the lens of culture - novels, paintings, magazines, cartoons, film and television - from which Ian gives his personal take on our evolving national character.
Far from being part of our cultural DNA, emotional restraint was a relatively recent national trait. Foreigners in Tudor England couldn't believe how touchy-feely we could be - 'wherever you move there is nothing but kisses' wrote a shocked Erasmus. In this opening episode, Ian Hislop charts how and why the stiff upper lip emerged in the late 18th and early 19th century in a country till then often awash with sentiment.
In 18th-century British society, public emoting was a sign of refinement and there was a vogue for all things sentimental. It was very much the done thing for women and men to weep at Samuel Richardson's novels or have Johann Zoffany paint their portraits to highlight their tenderness and sensitivity. But Ian reveals that a new idea - politeness - paved the way for the emergence of the stiff upper lip by prizing consistency of behaviour over emotional honesty. To illustrate this he plunders the candid diary of James Boswell, an aspirational young Scot plagued with anxieties about how far he should show his feelings in fashionable London.
Ian also tells the story of early feminist Mary Wollstonecraft, who famously argued that women's heads should rule their hearts, but failed to practise what she preached when she fell in love with a dashing but dastardly American.
Ian argues that, strange as it may seem, we have the French to thank for our stiff upper lip - the horrors of the French Revolution and the threat from Napoleon teaching the British ruling classes just where rampant emotional expression might lead. Instead, the new breed of British heroes became men with admirable self-control, like Jane Austen's Mr Knightley, who famously tells Emma 'If I loved you less, I might be able to talk about it more.'
This was a time of profound transition for Britain - and how it expressed its feelings - which Ian encapsulates with the tale of two national heroes - Nelson and Wellington. Admiral Nelson was the last 18th-century buccaneering adventurer - flamboyant, philandering, a man whose shameless sentimentality bolstered his huge popularity. His death-bed plea for an embrace from his best friend was so shocking to the Victorians a generation later that they changed 'kiss me, Hardy' to 'kismet'. By contrast, the Iron Duke, Wellington, was the prototype for the cool, calm and collected Brit. And it was Wellington, not Nelson, who would become the pre-eminent role model for the Victorians.
As Ian tracks the emergence of the stiff upper lip, he finds himself playing cricket on the Champs Élysées and discovers some 200-year-old merchandising David Beckham would be proud of. Along the way AN Wilson, Thomas Dixon and John Mullan help Ian get the measure of how our upper lips stiffened.

For specifics, check the edit history and talk page. Consult the Furry Book of Style for editing help.
Alfador is a furry from Seattle, Washington, U.S.A. Alfador has attended six iterations of the Conifur Northwest convention.
Alfador was "born" on May 9, 2000 when he was created as a character on FurryMUCK. Since then, he has made showings on Tapestries, and has of late fallen out of the MUCK scene entirely, favoring bulletin boards, mailing lists, and instant messaging for furry communication purposes.
Alfador is a three-tailed red fox with magical powers. He is often known as a kitsune, but does not and will not conform to any particular mythology or legend of kitsune except his own player's ideas. His fur is a rusty brown over most of his body, with a patch of white fur on his chest extending up his neck to his chin and lower jaw, and down to his crotch and parts of his inner thighs. The tips of his three tails are also white. His hands and feet have black or dark brown "gloves" of fur coloration, with the tips of his ears the same color. He has blue headfur.
Alfador can transform his own body in various ways. Usually, he keeps to the formula of being a red fox with three tails, varying such things as age, sex, and body shape (e.g., nonmorphic, taur forms) as he desires. His "natural form," however, is a humanoid biped male fox, apparent age around mid-twenties or late teens. Regardless of age transformation, his chronological age remains the same and is defined as 250 years plus his real-life current age. As of 2006, Alfador is 273 years old.
Alfador's magic powers are many and varied. Alfador travels between universe "splays" and some universes have more or less of the magical energy that he uses. Thus, in different story series, Alfador can have different sets of powers as appropriate to the setting, without creating inconsistencies in the character. More serious story universes will tend to have less magic, to avoid creating a deus ex machina, while more playful and silly stories and roleplay can be high-magic, to allow Alfador to do whatever would be the most fun.
Specific examples of powers include:
- Healing (ranging from only being able to heal minor injuries or speed the natural healing process, to potentially raising the dead)
- Transformation of himself (as noted above)
- Illusion (does not ordinarily fool mechanical devices, since it is a trick of the mind rather than actual light image modification. Beings immune to telepathy may also be immune to Alfador's illusions.)
- Mental reception and transmission (ranging from simple empathy and empathic projection to full-on telepathy. Alfador's personal feelings on the matter mean he does not use "mind control" even in universes where he is capable of it, to any extent save the perception alterations inherent in illusions, without the express consent of the individual being so controlled.)
- Various physical effects, such as levitation, fire creation/control, electromagnetic manipulation, or light and sound creation (on a far simpler level than his most sophisticated illusions are capable of).
Alfador considers himself a babyfur, and as such, enjoys spending a lot of his time age-transformed to a young kit. Depending on the story or roleplay scenario, his apparent age may vary from that of a toddler, to perhaps early teens. Regardless, diapers are a definitive part of babyfur roleplay for Alfador. He most enjoys the role, not of a full caretaker, but more of a "big brother" type of function (yet still in diapers).

Most of these are piece-o-crap eye soars. An aircraft has virtually ZERO insulation to either cold OR HEAT. Aircraft systems use incredible amounts of jet fuel...yes jet FUEL...which is were the high volume air comes from to run...in this case...two air conditioning "packs" when the aircraft WAS a viable aircraft. (And yes folks. I REALIZE the NEW 727 owner won't have 3 Pratt and Whitney JT-9's to power or air-condition her FREAKING home!!!) What does this have to do with this persons "green" (LOL) house. Aircraft ARE NOT insulated from the eliminates as so to keep it LIGHT...so IT CAN FLY! DAH! She would have to spend just as much money and probably MORE then a FUEL EFFICIENT HOME and create just as much green house gases...to make the home livable. (Heat or air-conditioning) PLUS...there's ZERO room to install typical home insulation, sprayed in or otherwise...in an airliner UNLESS...you SIGNIFICANTLY shrunk the interior "living space." This article is nothing more than idiots showing off DUMB **** ideas. IDIOTS who think living like child in forts and tree-houses is "green." MORONIC DUMB ARSES!!!!

Hope that is not a public lake or river. At least in thoughtful (imo) water communities they have stopped uglying up the shore lines by requiring set backs. While I don't like intrusive rules.....shorelines really have become unsightly in the last two decades because of the homes built right on the shore.

I almost purchased the 12 pc set until I saw this 24 pc bed in a bag where even the window treatments are included, I got it together with another bed for my daughter and we both ended up happy customers~ Only thing is that there were 2 window sets included in the set, I have 4 in my bed room so could only put up the curtain and drapes on the 2 windows closest to the bed, other than that, great bedding set, excellent quality and very soft fabric.
Overall this is a great bargin, however the color did not match what is on the site even on the package insert. The colors or more blue/green than blue, and the picture makes it look like there are whites, light blues, and silvers. There is NO white, just varying shades of gray and taupe with the blue/gree.
The set was not soft at all, but I guess my expectations were high despite the price based on previous reviews. Overall the set is ok, but looked dingy after a while. I replaced it within 6 months. It might have worked better for a guest bedroom where it got less use.
So glad that I read all the reviews about this item! I noticed that everyone mentioned the color was not what the picture showed. From the detailed reviews the sage color seemed like what I was looking for. When I ordered the bedding I was nervous, but when it showed up it was the perfect color!! This is one time I am glad that the color of the product was incorrectly displayed. I also loved all the peices for the value! This is a great deal! So happy with my purchase!
The colour of this item is way way off. Not at all what I expected, this is green and dark grey, not blue and light grey. If you want a sage green then this is perfect but not at all blue in any way.
I absolutely love that everything comes included in this. It made it suuuuper easy to decorate our bedroom and looks very fine. The sheets are silky and soft and the comforter looks nice. I actually like making the bed everyday which says a lot because I used to hate making my bed.
so far I have not opened the comforter set yet but as far as I could tell thru the bag it looks geat . I will be changing by bed soon to see what it look like one the bed but i am sure it will lool picture perfect!!!!!!
Comforter ripped almost immediately after I began using it. Do not purchase if you have pets. Material is very thin and rips easily. No problem with bedding or curtains, but comforter was not worth it.
I was very pleased with this set. I was nervous after reading the reviews that said the set was more of a taupe and green. My set is what is shown in the picture. Cool blues and gray.The instructions also call for dry- clean only but I took a chance and washed the comforter and pillow cases in the washing machine and it was not damaged. I aired dried the comforter and shams. The sheet that comes with this set is very soft! Great purchase.
I should have known that 24 pieces for that price, there would be issues. First, the color is nothing like what is pictured. It is a shinny silver color, not white like the pictures looks. Second, the material was stiff and scratchy. Not something I would want to sleep with.

This year's Tokyo Motor Show has become a gathering for futuristic city car concepts that promote efficiency and sustainability. With that thought in mind, it was hardly a surprise to see Honda throwing their hat into the mix with the introduction of the Micro Commuter Concept.
Essentially, the Micro Commuter Concept is tiny three-seater (1+2) electric city car that promotes ease of mobility in a world that's fast becoming denser and denser. The Micro Commuter Concept comes with some futuristic features that defy today's expectations, including customizable exterior panels that allow owners to insert graphic sheet on their car. There's also an interior display where occupants can use for communication. Moreover, the concept also relies on the same driving mechanics as another Tokyo-bound Honda attendee, the AC-X Concept: the dual-joystick controller.
As for the power train, the Micro Commuter Concept is powered by a 16.7 kW electric motor that produces 22 horsepower and is fueled by a 3.3 kWh lithium-ion battery. These numbers translate to a 0-60 km sprint time of 7.4 seconds with a pedestrian top speed of 37 mph and a range of 37 miles. Anytime the battery is low, charging of the Micro Commuter Concept will only take an hour and can be done on a 200V outlet.

Review this movie
Sep 6, 2014Prometheus is Ridley Scott's prequel to Alien.This movie has outstanding visuals, more science fiction than the original movies regarding to the creatures, more mystery and really good performances.
Sep 3, 2014Essentially out of the Alien-storybook, Prometheus is a moving discovery of life beyond Earth. There is no shortage of suspense and story--Prometheus is enthralling.
Sep 2, 2014"Prometheus" is a flawed yet entertaining film. It has great acting, beautiful cinematography, and quite a bit of suspense, but the characters are pretty stupid, and some plot points have been used in previous genre efforts. The tension, pacing, entertainment value, and overall look and feel of the movie mostly make up for its flaws. I recommend this to fans of the "Alien" franchise and just people who like science fiction.… Expand
Jul 28, 2014Heading into this one, I heard a ton of differing opinions, but at the end of the day, I came away from this one with a positive take. The cinematography and special effects are undoubtedly the star of this film and are breathtaking to look at, each shot is achingly beautiful, and the tech gadgets are very cool and the other effects very well done. In addition, Ridley Scott's direction is good, as expected. The acting from Michael Fassbender, Charlize Theron, and Idris Elba, is very good, especially Fassbender. I did not love Noomi Rapace here and was left wondering how they could not have found somebody better for the role. The main complaint I had heard about this one beforehand was the script, but I personally have no complaints and thought it was just fine. Unoriginal, sure, and heavily inspired by the sci-fi films before it without question, but I did not come here expecting an original sci-fi project, now did I. At the end of the day, I came for thrills and great special effects and that is exactly what I got with a little bonus of great cinematography and acting. Only complaint would be the added religious (or non-religious?) element. I think the story could have been approached differently without inserting religion at every turn. Prometheus is far from a great film, but I will be damned if it is not an entertaining and satisfying prequel to Alien.… Expand
Jul 22, 2014Prometheus is no where near as good as it should have been, but is reasonably entertaining due to the incredible special effects, and the magnetic performance delivered from Michael Fassbender.
Jul 6, 2014This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Prometheus brings the world's greatest science fiction mystery thrilling flim about a journey hunt to to the human race of life. Here are the reasons why I would support to be interested in this movie. Ok first I like say that I liked the thrilling sequences during the movie. Second is that casts In this movie are pretty cool. Some of the cast I know such as noomi rapace, Michael fassbender, and idris Elba. Third is that it has awesome sound, and visual effects sequences in this movie. About this movie, there's something I notice about this movie. I notice is that this is the event that happened before alien begins. So I would say this is that this a pretty cool science fiction film, however there were some scenes that may have frighten audiences under 12 years old. So I would recommend is that Ridley Scott made event made science fiction film for the events happened before alien. So that's the reasons I would say about Prometheus… Expand
Jun 30, 2014Due to the hype surrounding the film prior to release, and my love of Alien and Aliens, my expectations before viewing the film were very high. Looking back, I could only ever have been disappointed. And after my initial viewing I was exactly that. However, over the last two years I've found myself watching it again and again and again. And now, with all the hype and preconceived ideas out of the way, I actually see Prometheus for what it is; a decent sci-fi action/thriller. Try to put aside your, in truth, unobtainable ideals about what an "Alien" film should be, and enjoy Prometheus in all its CGI high-def glory.… Expand
Jun 18, 2014This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's strange... I came away from the cinema unable to contain my upset at the way prometheus teased its plotline through scenes of horror action topped by the aliens fan in me nagging on the fact scott didn't just cast lance henrikson to reprise his role as weyland and make it all canon to the other films.
Yet on a later viewing I found myself looking past such filmic foibles able instead to enjoy the wonder of artwork going on and appreciating its pace, timing and its finer details like the wonderful creature effects (mainly the translucent engineer skin wow). Still complete sequel bait asking and answering very little about its universe (apart from the engineers revealed as malevolent weapons manufacturers rather than space zoo keepers as i'd originally hoped).
Fact is I still find myself imagining this universe all over again and that gives me naive hope for the next movie. 9/10… Expand
Jun 16, 2014Honestly i expected a lot more from this prequel, mainly because it hardly has anything to do with Alien, except for the ship with concave wings, exactly like what crew members of Nostromo witnessed when they landed in LV-426 for the first time. Prometheus is not a horror movie, it is just a sci-fi one with little moments of horror, which disappoints me whenever i think about Alien - a classic horror work-of-art associated with Ridley Scott's visually striking directorial style. Instead of telling a story of how colonizers of the planet accidentally created Xenomorph during some experiments, and, as a result, got massacred by the blood-thirsty creature that they couldn't control just as i thought it would be, Ridley Scott invented an even stranger kind, known as the ENGINEERS, who are thought to create mankind, and this makes the film scattered and unfocused as there are as many as two species left for discovery. It came as no surprise to me that this 2-hour long sci-fi film failed to answer all the big questions raised by both fans and critics of Alien, so i score this movie 5 only thanks to Michael Fassbender's performance as a robot and visually impressive depiction of the ship Prometheus… Expand
Jun 3, 2014For a summer blockbuster film, "Prometheus" asks surprisingly exciting and intriguing questions about human existence. It doesn't give us any answers which is a little disappointing, but the film still rocks; I don't know anything about 2D, but in 3D, this film looked fabulous in its gripping atmosphere and stunning CGI.
Apr 4, 2014Wow this is depressing....6.5? really? Is the general populace really this stupid? This movie requires you to actually think a little. The very first scene of the movie is key. It's a 1 minute scene followed by the most gorgeous 1080p visuals I have ever seen on an BD. If you don't understand what that scene was about, then you obviously don't deserve to review the movie (watch the deleted scenes if you can't figure it out). I get why people are disappointed or mad about this movie. It has little to nothing to do with the actual aliens franchise. It's not trying to bridge gaps in the aliens movies. The movie is a separate entry that happens to take place in the aliens universe. The entire story revolves around a single question: How and why were we created?
Now notice that such a question has nothing to do with the 4 previous alien movies. I think this movie is a masterpiece. I don't hand out 10's to offset other people's scores. The movie deserves the 10 I give it here today. It is a visual marvel. The actors, all no name actors, just blew everyone away and made a name for themselves with this movie (the lead characters in particular did legendary jobs).
I don't know what else to say to convince you that this movie is a work of art. Everyone should give the movie a chance. If you don't understand it....you don't understand it. If you don't understand it...you might not like it. You have to think. You have to draw your own conclusions some places....the movie doesn't give you all the answers. Thus my original question: Is the general populace really this stupid?… Expand
Mar 31, 2014Better than literalists give it, worse than the devouts give it credit for, Prometheus is not without it flaws in plot and not without it's triumphs in cinematography and strong acting from Noomi Rapace and Michael Fassbender, and due to the ending, lends promise to an adequate follow-up.
Feb 25, 2014I wanted to like this movie and I was excited to finally see it when it made it to DVD. I'm sorry but I was bored and frustrated by the story. It dragged along as the characters (supposed geniuses from their fields) did the stupidest things you can think of. I don't know what else to say about other than I personally thought it was terrible.
Feb 8, 2014"Prometheus" was a gripping movie experience for me. It had grim, but beautiful visuals, great use and combination of CGI and 3D, sharply directed action scenes and above everything else, a story that asks unanswered questions about human existence. Sure, the ending probably didn't deserve an A+, but as a whole, "Prometheus" was still pretty awesome.
Jan 28, 2014This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A terrible movie/script in almost all ways;
* Stupid chars that make stupid decisions.
* Quasi-religious and pretentious. ("It's what i choose to belive"...c'mon?!)
* Science gets raped.(i.e the FACT of Evolution)
* Logic and reason is nowhere.
* An insult to the Alien-universe. Even AVP is more enjoyable.
* Boring and in no way suspenseful
* Not one bit as "profound" that some ppl seems to think.
* Auto C-section scene; probably one of the most non-intentionally funniest scenes ever.
* Giant squid facehuggers, "Space jockey smash!", terrible Xenomorph, The ol' run in a straight line death-scene..........
I could go on and on...
I mean WTH R.Scott?
This tripe is such an insult to my senses and intelligence. 120 million dollars down the drain. GG… Expand
Jan 15, 2014This movie was ok, but I thought it was going to be better. The producers make the movie preview look good, but when you see the movie it's not as good as you thought it would be. Prometheus doesn't look rated R; it should be PG-13. I'm giving it a mixed review because thriller is my favourite movie genre and I like the title. The movie was a little interesting, even though it had myself questioning some parts. The movie has this unique atmosphere. This movie is worth watching. Synopsis: Scientists visit a planet and discover a species that is quite similar to humans. However, it's not always what it seems like...… Expand
Jan 11, 2014This unfortunate movie was marketed as the prequel to his 1978 film Alien, when in fact it is nothing short of a slightly related disaster. The only positive parts of the film were Michael Fassbender's 'If-I-Were-A-Real-Boy' robot character David, the cinematography and the special effects (I believed that vagina monster was coming for me, I really did).
Jan 2, 2014Science Fiction or Faith?
At the end of the movie I was a bit confused about this movie leaving unanswered questions. But after thinking about it for some time and few discussions some were answered and I am hoping rest will be answered in the potential sequel as told by director Scott. I haven't seen 'Alien' the film which 'Prometheus' is supposed to be prequel to yet, so my review is treating Prometheus independently. I am ardent science-fiction fan and the plot of based on the questions like "Did someone design humans?", "Where do we go after death?", "Why there is life?", etc. which ponder in my mind everyday generated great excitement and expectations from this film but at the end was slightly disappointed by answers. Leaving where the story ends up aside Prometheus has outstanding visuals with slick cinematography, good performance by Michael Fassbender as a robot(who plays a key role) and generates enough suspense/thrills to entertain and thus receives a positive response from me. Just don't have too high expectations then you will like this film.… Expand
Dec 29, 2013This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I liked the Alien movies, especially the one by Ridley Scott but this one is just bad. This visuals are good so gave a 2/10 rating. There are two main flaws which ruin the movie completely.
The first: Why is everyone acting like a complete idiot? Sometimes it's just painful to be confronted with such stupidity while watching. Hey, there is a maybe hostile alien life form. Let's touch it! Hey, we got this 2000 year old alien head. Let's investigate it in the least scientific way possible and blow it up with some kind of electro shock device. WTF?
The 2nd: The logical issues in the plot and the unanswered questions.
Why do apes and humans similar DNA?
Why were the engineers planning to destroy humanity?
What are David's motives?
Why was the old guy hiding?
The list goes on.
I mean, has anyone read the script before making the movie?
And why didn't they chose a younger actor for the old guy? Making younger people old in movies never looks realistic.
I'm a big fan of science fiction movies. There are a lot of mediocre movies which are at least for me still likeable but this one is not.… Expand
Dec 14, 2013Even if it isn't original, Prometheus has jaw dropping visuals and a surprisingly great storyline. Couple that with top notch acting and a tense atmosphere, what you will get is a great sci-fi/horror flick.
Dec 9, 2013Prometheus' visuals are absolutely stunning. The often mentioned plot holes in Prometheus can be explained away if you're willing to dig deep enough-and for me- certainly didn't detract from the film in anyway.
Dec 8, 2013Not a bad movie but yes couldn't live up it's hype. Movie is slow, not the alien sci-fi with mindless action type. It even looks like some fictional Discovery show for most of the time but it's a good movie, definitely worth your money.
Dec 5, 2013This is a really great movie simpliy put and if you have half a brain and use it to think you won't have a problem understanding this movie at all.....
Nov 23, 2013This movie was a ok sci fi movie. It was a TERRIBLE alien sequel. The charecters were uninteresting, made bad decisions (by horror movie standards, no weapons on an alien planet? Come on) and had mediocre dialogue. The movie wasn't scary, had plot holes, and no aliens alien in it until the end. Only see this if their is nothing better on tv.
Nov 21, 2013Great film in my opinion, the only way my opinion will change is if the follow ups don't link it properly to the original story line.
Visually stunning, well written not perfect, but nothing is and well executed in general.
I loved the original Alien film, liked the other films too. I don't understand what people's problem with Prometheus was. Among the plot holes suggested was them sending stupid scientists personally I thought that the fact that they were hand picked by a multi-billionaire who was quite clearly as mad as a badger explained that quite nicely.… Expand
Nov 7, 2013A year old now and I still have nightmares and sweats at how spectacularly bad this film is. I hate you now Ridley. Anyone giving this film more than 3 needs a lobotomy. Or they enjoy Alvin and the Chipmunks movies.
Oct 27, 2013This movie is actually awful. As far a sci-fi and/or horror are concerned. The characters are so stupid as to fill the movie with plot holes, its attempts at being deep are total shots in the dark, and I guess it's supposed to be a really visually appealing movie but nothing the high budget special effects were showing were actually that interesting.
Oct 6, 2013Despite its clear imperfections, I liked Prometheus. Visually stunning and with a great performance from Michael Fassbender, there is a certain something that sets Prometheus apart from other films of the genre. It is profound, ambitious, and fascinating, but suffers from poor decision-making on part of the writers.
Sep 26, 2013I write this perfect-scored review knowing that it probably won't mean anything amongst the massively divided sea of critical opinion but I feel I must share my truly honest opinion. I have been a hardcore Alien fan for ages, as well as a serious devotee to Ridley Scott, so needless to say I was one of the countless swept up in the hype-hurricane surrounding this films development.
I guess what sets me apart from most is that I witnessed a film that actually exceeded my pipe-dream level expectations.
I'll admit that I was skeptical if ANY film could potentially rival the utter brilliance of the 1979 masterpiece. What I was not prepared for was a film that not only did the original perfect justice but proved that it could be redefined.… Expand
Sep 25, 2013This is by far the biggest let-down I have ever had the displeasure to watch half of in the local cinema. The special effects were good, but the story line was near non-existant. The robot guy ended up killing people and god knows why, everyone has different theories, but the only thing that keeps this pile of trash afloat is the visual detail and suspense. Suspense for what? What's going on? Oh my god my head hurts from trying to work out what the bloody hell's going on. Dad and I ended up waiting outside while mum watched the rest, and we preferred standing out underdressed at near-freezing temperatures among drunks from the local tavern joking about how godawful the film was than sticking it out watching the rest of that pile of crap.… Expand
Scott may always have had an eye on the box office, but from "Alien" and "Thelma & Louise" on, he has made women into heroines. In that regard, he's still ahead of the curve. Rapace's scene is a classic of its kind; it tops John Hurt's notorious misfortunes in "Alien."
It's a different sort of experience: a stately, somewhat plodding but endurable science-fiction saga.

text: WASHINGTON (WKZO) -- U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack has his wish list ready for Congress for the next five-year Farm Bill. The Senate passed a bill last session, but the House did not, forcing lawmakers to extend the current law through this growing season. The former Iowa governor called on Congress to come up with a bill that helps crop producers, livestock farmers and dairy producers and includes protection for specialty crops. The Senate bill passed last year included special assistance for farmers who had their crops wiped out by the drought and by an early bloom and freezes in the Great Lakes area.
