Megamiko Station is truly one of the most beautiful retreats in Japan, with breathtaking nature scenery and a great place to experience the real country lifestyles of Japanese people.
The entire lodge is made out of wood with a really antique stove in the middle to heat up the restaurant area. It is a very warm and cosy family environment.
We live up in the mountains of Shinshu or Nagano Prefecture, famous for the Japanese Soba noodles, rice fields, sweat applies,mushrooms, scenic mountains, lakes, ski, snowboarding areas, natural hot spring baths and hosting the Winter Olympics in 1998.
In winter, skiers and snowboarders enjoy scenic drives up to the many ski areas and resorts around our area, ranging from beginner ski to advanced Olympic size competition zones. The white snow capped mountains, frozen lakes, tranquillity and serenity helps you feel calm and peaceful. we offer ski lessons by certified ski instructor with additional costs.
Also, a relaxing bath in the natural hot springs sooths and relaxes the tension in your body, making you forget all the troubles and stress in your life.
In the spring time, many Japanese tourists come to the mountains to see the nature, flowers, and lakes and breathe the fresh air. The famous Sakura blossoms are also a popular attraction here.
You can visit any shrines, temples or Sake factory. Try Kimono`s put on by certified Kimono coordinator and take your photos and have a fun!

Anonymous said: I remember the days when games were about worlds you could explore and about being good, and not about who's got representation and gender this and sexuality that. I miss those days.
Those days miss you, too. I recently found a yellowed letter under one of the floorboards, and it was addressed to you and signed by those days with a tear-stained kiss of lipstick.
Meanwhile, in the present, those of us who work in the industry and who are—amazingly—able to consider more than one idea at the same time, will continue to create good games about worlds you can explore AND occasionally talk about inclusivity.
If you are feeling compassion fatigue, I think it might be okay to sit out those discussions, at least until you get your strength back. While it will be tough not having you available for close consultation, somehow we will soldier on.

- Movie Name : Grand Masti
- Released Date : 13/09/2013
- Average Rating : 2 out of 5
Grand Masti,full of sex comedies and Vulgar jokes which is not new in Bollywood.It is one of the best comedy movie. Grand Masti is a kind of film that will be enjoyed mostly by a teenagers because it is an adult movie and teenagers usually watch all the adult movies.Grand Masti is about the three married man who return for a college reunion to be trapped in bunch of troubles. You will enjoy the movie if you are mood for some cheap ,silly jokes and comedy.
Grand Masti
Cast : Vivek Oberoi,Ritesh Deshmukh, Aftab Shivdasani
Director : Indra Kumar
'Grand Masti' is not only offensive but regressive cinema. Sample this:
1) The film starts with our heroes eliciting how A, B, C has been taught all wrong and then cut to tight close-up of body parts to enunciate their real meaning.
2) Riteish has an infant child and is always complaining about the lack of a sex life and to elaborate his desperation he doesn't refrain from using abusive language against his newborn.
3) A buxom former girlfriend has no qualms about announcing that she now owns a milk factory and over again and over again they crack innuendos surrounding "milk production".

Welcome to Alt I.T. Services!
Serving Winona, Trempealeau, and the surrounding areas.....
Alt IT Services supports computer users. It's a typical computer support shop in one sense - I do fix computers, set up networks, and all the other things typical computer shops do. But I offer more than that. I help people use their computers better, understand them, and hopefully enjoy them more. I help businesses understand their needs and find better ways to get things done. I offer a personalized support experience that takes the person using the computer into consideration. I understand that everyone uses and understands their computers differently and should receive help accordingly. My services include: Mac and PC support - onsite, drop off, or remote support, One on one customized training on most common PC and Mac OS's and software, and IT Consultation for business. Check out the services page for details!
I've partnered with Gillware to offer their great backup service. They offer a good solution for off site backup of your critical data. The first 2 GB is always free and then they only charge 50 cents per GB after that. You only pay for what you use and there is no long term contract to sign. There are a couple of options for setting up the backups. One is to use it 'out of the box' - it scans your entire computer and backups up the most common file types. For some that is too broad a scheme so a second option is to turn off the file type based backup and simply tell it which folders to back up. Here is a link to download the software. It costs nothing to get started - remember the first 2 GB is free and you have to tell it to back up more than that - so you won't be charged unless you increase the backup limits. https://remotedbs.com/AManager/download/installer.action?brand=altit&subsidiary=altitservices
If you'd like, I can set up the backups for you. I also offer monitoring and testing of your backups should you need that service. Call if you have questions or go ahead download and install the software and get started today!
Hard drives fail - it's a fact of life. Sometimes I can coax data off a failing drive or fix a software issue to get your drive working again. But when the cause of the drive failure involves internal problems, I refer the case to Gillware Inc., the best data recovery lab I've found. Gillware operates a clean room environment, and their trained engineers will evaluate your drive and provide an estimate to recover your data. Once their recovery process is complete, Gillware shows you a list of recovered files; you pay only if you are happy with what's been recovered. Data losses can be devastating, and we're here to make sure you have the best possible chance at recovery. Call me for more information about this service.

FARGO, N.D. (AP) -- Fargo Mayor Dennis Walaker has sounded the all-clear for flood danger in the southern Red River Valley.
Walaker made his annual pilgrimage to the Red River headwaters in northeastern South Dakota and western Minnesota Thursday to gauge possible spring flooding. The longtime mayor and former city public works director has gained notoriety for making flood predictions that often trump the National Weather Service.
Walaker says there's nothing that alarms him about this year's melt and he has never seen the basin south of Fargo in such good shape.
Residents in the Fargo area prepared for major flooding in four of the previous five years.

That the American Public Health Association Convene Its Annual Meetings in Smoke-free Cities
Whereas, tobacco kills more than 440,000 Americans each year1 and is one of the major preventable causes of premature death and disability 2 ; and,
Whereas, secondhand tobacco smoke is a class A carcinogen (i.e., unsafe at any level of exposure) responsible for the deaths of approximately 53,000 nonsmokers annually in the United States3, 4; and,
Whereas, smoke-free policies are associated with reduced primary smoking rates and reduced exposure to secondhand smoke5, 6; and,
Whereas, the majority of major population centers with facilities appropriate for the APHA Annual Meeting now have smoke-free policies that protect public health in all public venues, including restaurants and bars; and,
Whereas, APHA seeks to influence positively and directly support strong public health policies;
Therefore, be it resolved that:
When selecting sites and negotiating contracts for Annual Meeting venues beyond those currently contracted, APHA will hold all its future meetings in smoke-free cities. An exception could be made by the Executive Board if there are specific circumstances that would severely limit APHA's ability to find an appropriate venue for its Annual Meeting; and that APHA work with Affiliates to support local efforts to promote comprehensive smoke-free policies in host cities.

Gay plays, as they've proliferated and mainstreamed over the last 10 years, tend to address relationships between lovers, friends, and family. Plays by and about gay men often delve into sexual conquests and disappointments; the more exploitative ones use nudity to draw audiences and encourage a prurient, if fun, spectatorial pleasure. Plays by lesbians, which thanks to gender discrimination remain relatively fewer than those produced by or about gay men, tend to be more relationally based, dwelling on family dynamics and the domestic sphere.
I'm overstating grossly here to underline how refreshing it is to see a play about gay (or "homophile") activism in the 1950s as the focus of an evening at the theatre. Written by Jon Marans, The Temperamentals tells the story of Harry Hay, considered by many historians to be the father of the U.S. homophile movement, who doggedly persuaded men to sign the manifesto of what he called The Mattachine Society. The Society was named after a troupe of medieval dancers who only appeared publicly in masks, an apt metaphor for closeted homosexuals of the '50s. Hay was the first to publicly call gays and lesbians a "minority" and to argue for homosexual rights along the lines of what would soon become the civil rights movement.
As an event happy to succeed by telling its important story, this production's one acquiescence to commercial pressure is director Jonathan Silverstein's casting of Michael Urie (of tv's Ugly Betty fame) in one of the supporting roles. Although some of his tv character's flaming gestures and flamboyant sarcasm seeps into his performance as Rudi Gernreich, Harry Hay's young Viennese-Jewish clothing designer boyfriend, Urie's acting is subtle, generous, and sincere, bringing depth and intimacy to the complicated exchanges between the two lovers.
As it traces the beginnings of a language for gay activism (well before the word "gay" was commonly used to name homosexuals), some historical contrasts become amusing and poignant. For example, Hay and his few faithful compatriots--energetically portrayed by Tom Beckett, Matthew Schneck, and Sam Breslin Wright, who impersonate an array of good buys, bad guys, and the occasional woman, lesbian, or mother--discuss whether or not gay men should be allowed to get married . . . to women. One of the few lesbian voices in the play belongs to a radical butch who says she'd never marry, unless it was to a woman. The script deftly highlights historical shifts in its construction of these conversations, as it leads the audience to understand how the course of events and the contours of activist discourse have changed over the last 50-odd years.
Although gay news outlets, bloggers, and commentators have lately expressed disappointment in President Obama's failure to follow through on his campaign promises about LGBTQ issues, watching The Temperamentals is a happy reminder that progress has indeed been made for gay men in U.S. culture and politics, despite what the movement still needs to accomplish. For example, when Rudi networks his way into an apprentice position with a noted, publicly visible clothing designer, the man tells him in no uncertain terms that Rudi requires a wife by his side, implying that the field's obvious homosexuality needs to be defended by the normalizing choice of fake marriages. A spectator need only think of the overt queerness of a tv show like Project Runway to note how far gay male visibility and acceptance--in fashion design alone--has come since the early '50s.
Throughout the story, Rudi pressures Harry to leave his wife, Anita. Ironically, when Harry finally gathers the courage to tell her that he's a homosexual, Rudi finds himself marrying a woman coincidentally also named Anita. The moment's sadness, necessity, and ubiquity resonates as a poignant reminder of what gay men in the 1950s gave up to lead socially and professionally successful lives. Vincent Minnelli, who's played as a limp-wristed, lisping, utter stereotype of a gay man who couldn't pass for heterosexual if he tried, explains to Harry and Rudi that his career took off when he married Judy Garland.
Director Silverstein leads the audience to see that while from a contemporary perspective, these men would never be mistaken for straight, the persistence of the closet, and the social contract that enforced a purposeful refusal to see sexuality as anything but heterosexual, required the kind of visible and public declarations for which Hay fought. What queer theorist Eve Sedgwick would by the 1990s call the "open secret" of homosexuality clearly operated in the 1950s as a way to repress progressive public discourse about sexual fluidity and choice. The men Hay approaches to sign his manifesto believe in his work, but they can't risk their lives and livelihoods by lending it their signatures.
Even hard won declarations of agency were often foiled. In one scene of The Temperamentals, the working class, police officer boyfriend of one of Hay's friends is entrapped in a public bathroom by another police officer, who cruises him for sex then arrests him. While most men tricked in these situations pled guilty, Harry persuades this man to insist on his innocence. When he does, and the judge decrees him not guilty, the triumphant activist moment is defanged and neutralized when the press refuses to cover it. The moment goes unnoticed, unwritten as history that matters.Many of Hay's inner circle are portrayed as racist and anti-Semitic in The Temperamentals, despite their willingness to fight for their own homosexual rights. Maran does a nice job complicating identity politics with such contradictions, as these men fail to find common cause with other oppressed people unless their struggles provide helpful models. That Rudi is Jewish and his family dead at
Although Marans' script covers important moments in 1950s homophile activism, the characters mostly appear to be ciphers or stereotypes, mouthpieces for history rather than embodiments of people who are more than cogs in a predetermined wheel of time and social change. And although the script details the impossible contradictions of closeted gay life in this period, Marans lets a preachy didacticism creep into his writing, particularly in the second act. More judicious editing for length and tone would enhance the play, whose potential is signaled by the five actors and Silverstein's sensitive, fluid direction.
The theatre at the Barrow Group space on 36th street in which I saw the production (on August 7, 2009) was set up with spectators seated on two sides of the stage facing each other, raked up from the square wooden platform that provided the playing space. The surrounding audience seemed to embody the ever-present hegemony that enclosed Hay and his gay friends. Silverstein moved the actors through various locations using only six wooden chairs and a few props (a telephone, a clarinet, some pieces of clothing), cutting away extraneous visuals and business to focus on their human interactions.
The actors succeeded in finding the humanity of men (and the occasional woman) struggling to make sense of lives few words described in the 1950s. Even if some of the subsidiary characters are caricatured by the script, Beckett, Schneck, and Wright draw them sharply, with respect and care for what they represent in the history told.
As Hay, Thomas Jay Ryan provides a square-jawed performance, finding an arc of emotional growth in a man who begins by protesting (too much) his masculinity, only to begin a second movement 25 or so years later, this one called The Radical Fairies, in which he rejected conventional maleness for the free-flowing garments and gestures of men who refused gender constrictions and embraced spirituality.
Ryan finds generous ways to communicate Hay's necessary contradictions, as his radicalism and conservatism bump up against each other through the period The Temperamentals covers. With Michael Urie as his sympathetic if bemused, ambitious but frustrated lover Rudi providing a lovely, warm emotional grounding for Hay's barnstorming, Ryan delivers on the sense of promise in the pioneer's vision.
Even though its script devolves into platitudes toward the end, The Temperamentals
offers a necessary, gentle reminder of how difficult it was for two men
to create physical, emotional, sexual, and political spaces in which to
be together not so very long ago. For that, it's worth celebrating--and seeing. It closes in

Aiden Mathew
It starts on Dec 22, 2009, 2 days past my Due date! I had a Dr's appt at 11:15am. At the appt, she checked me and said i was only 1 cm dilated but she went ahead and did a membrane sweep, and told me that might help speed things up. Btw, it hurt like hell lol. She also told me i would most likely feel crampy. So i get home, and sure enough i was having minor period like cramps.
At 3pm, i was pretty uncomfortable with the cramps so i laid down and tried to nap. I woke up a few times to the cramps and at 5pm got out of bed. They were still bothering me but they didnt really hurt. My bf got home at about 6 pm and i was back in bed because the cramps were getting worse and abit stronger. I was getting them every 5-7mins. They eased up abit by 7 so i got out of bed and tried to make dinner. The walking made them worse and the pain went to my lower back and It hurt really bad.
My bf was getting anxious but I told him I was fine for now. By 9pm they were STRONG. I couldnt move when a contraction came, and they were lasting about 45 secs, and coming every 3.5 mins. We called the hospital and they told me to have a warm shower and to come in when they were regular, and 5 mins apart. For a while they were irregular. By midnight the pain was so intense i was nauseaus and throwing up and shaking really bad. So we decided to go to the hospital. It took me 15 mins to get to the car. every step hurt. We got there at about 1am and they checked me. I was only 3cm!! wtf!! so they gave me morphine to help me sleep.
I woke up at 5:30 am to more intense contractions. i couldnt control my body!! So the nurse told me to go sit in the jacuzzi. The jaccuzi made them come stronger so i got out at 6:45am. I was crying for pain relief. The nurse checked me again at 7am and i was 8 cm. And my water bag was just hanging in there. at 7:30am my dr got there and checked me i was 9cm and broke my water. I couldnt have any pain relief because i had progressed so fast.
I started pushing at 7:45 and It was the worse pain ever. I couldnt control myself. I finally pushed him out at 9:02am. and the pain stopped!!!!! My baby boy was laying on my stomach and my Bf and i just started crying and couldnt stop looking at him. Aiden Mathew was totally worth all the pain and we couldnt be happier!!! Im actually proud / glad that I didnt have pain relief because it is alot better for the baby. Although at the time i thought different lol. I was in labour for 18 hours!! He was 7 lbs 11 oz and PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) – The nation's pediatricians are coming together to make a statement on alcohol.
The American Academy of Pediatrics say alcohol increases the risk for so many negative consequences in young people, saying that pediatricians and parents need to take action. The academy outlines the trouble that can start with early alcohol use and that list includes accidental injuries, drug abuse, unsafe sex and binge drinking.
The academy adds that since teen brains are still developing, alcohol can alter the course of normal brain development. The statement points to parents too, asking their involvement in setting clear rules about the use of alcohol.

The Untangling the Web project began at the end of 2010, when my editor at The Observer, the head of digital at The Guardian and I came together to dream up a way to communicate the science behind the virtual revolution.
At its heart was an online reporter's notebook where I would collect the latest evidence behind any transformations in our psychologies and our sociologies that I found along the way. We chose to use Tumblr as an experiment, because it was an easy-to-update and flexible platform that would feed into the Untangling the Web homepage on guardian.co.uk. In almost every way, this was more important than the 900-word summary I wrote every fortnight for the Sunday paper. It is where I interpreted what was science knows, in one handy place, for everyone to see.
This Tumblog also became the resource I relied on and added to when re-interpreting the columns into the Untangling the Web book.
So thank you, Tumblr faithful, for watching the process unfold.
For your participation in the process, from Monday 15 July until Monday 2 September, people using code UTW07FG can get Untangling the Web for £6.50 per copy, saving 50% off RRP, at the Guardian Bookshop. You can also order over the phone by calling 0330 333 6846.
Thank you!
our digital shadows will become our marks of trust and reliability; to have none will be a sign that we have something we're ashamed of, something to hide.

'"Home" isn't made of bricks and mortar, grass and mud, wood and straw', writes Krotoski in the book. "It is a de-physicalised, conceptual and psychological phenomenon. Technology is now an essential part of that. But once we grasp that distinction between the house and the emotional component that surrounds the most intimate part of our lives, we can see that the web can be just as much a home as the place we lay our heads."

Tamarack Aerospace has unveiled the first of what it promises will be a series of active winglet systems designed to relieve wing bending loads caused by winglets. The company's active technology load alleviation system (Atlas) should be certified and available for installation on Cirrus SR22 G1 and G2 piston singles early next year, but Tamarack is also testing Atlas, which includes new winglets, on a Cessna CitationJet 525. Tamarack brought the Atlas-equipped CitationJet to the NBAA Convention in Orlando and gave demonstration rides during the show.

|Newsroom - What's New at RFK
With a recent grant of $25,000 from Third Sector New England's Diversity and Inclusion Initiative, RFK Children's Action Corps' Cultural Competence Committee (CCC) is being funded to implement a cultural competence development plan following an assessment and study completed last year. The CCC has accomplished a great deal so far, and is poised, under the current leadership of our Kennedy School Program Director and CCC Chair, Chris Montgomery, to bring their work to all facets and levels of the organization-from the Board of Directors to direct care staff, from training to policies and procedures.
The goal is to transform the culture of the agency to a truly diverse, inclusive and culturally competent organization. This ongoing goal is to value every member of our agency for the unique gifts, experiences, ideas and skills that they bring to each other, to our clients and their families, and to the communities that we serve.
"Justice, dignity, equality – these are words which are often used loosely, with little appreciation of their meaning. I think that their meaning can be distilled into one goal: that every child in this country live as we would want our own children to live."

HoopsHype Marc Gasol rumors
Ken Berger: Marc Gasol has a Grade 2 MCL sprain that does not require surgery, league source says. He is out indefinitely while the sprain heals. Twitter @KBergCBS
David Locke: Word is Memphis Marc Gasol out indefinitiely with Grade 2 MCL sprain. Greg Steimsma most recently with Grade 2 MCL spain out 6 to 8 weeks Twitter @Lockedonsports
Ronald Tillery: Pondexter missed slightly less than 8 weeks with same injury. ZBo missed roughly 10 weeks with same injury as Gasol. CA story coming... Twitter @CAGrizBeat
Paul George: Damn Marc too?! Get well big fella Twitter @Paul_George24
Harrison Barnes: Prayers for @Andre Iguodala @Marc Gasol and d rose for a speedy recovery. Hate to see a teammate or opponent have an injury. Twitter @HBarnes
Chip Crain: Rumors are swirling Marc Gasol has a Grade 2 MCL tear and will be out 10 weeks. Twitter @3Shadesofblue
Center Marc Gasol, the reigning Defensive Player of the Year, left Friday night's 102-86 home loss to the San Antonio Spurs early in the second quarter after spraining his left knee. A team official told USA TODAY Sports that an MRI has been scheduled for Saturday. USA Today Sports
Geoff Calkins: Marc Gasol: Sprained left knee. MRI tomorrow. You may now resort to prayer. Twitter @geoff_calkins
The Griz trailed 79-57 entering the fourth period when Gasol left off some steam. "It looks bad when we're not all on the same page and try to do things ourselves," Gasol said. "It kind of happened in the game before but we tightened up and won in the fourth quarter. Tonight, we couldn't get it together." Memphis Commercial Appeal
Gasol dished the ball back to the perimeter and tossed Beverley to the floor. Dwight Howard instinctively stood up for Beverley, and shoved Gasol in the shoulder. Gasol retaliated with a much gentler counter-shove, and both teams rushed to the scene. Both men were assessed technical fouls. For The Win
So naturally, I wanted to put that theory to the test. Is that, in fact, the generally agreed upon totem pole these days? It doesn't appear to be the case. I asked six front-office executives, reached via text message and granted anonymity to inspire honesty and avoid tampering charges, to rank the best centers in the NBA. The results: Executive No. 1: Marc Gasol, Noah, Lopez, Hibbert, Howard, Omer Asik. Executive No. 2: Howard, Gasol, Noah, Hibbert, Cousins. Executive No. 3: Howard, Gasol, Hibbert, Noah, Andrew Bogut, Lopez, Tyson Chandler, Chris Bosh, Al Horford Executive No. 4: Noah, Gasol, Hibbert, Anderson Varejao, Howard Executive No. 5: Howard, Gasol, Nikola Pekovic, Noah, Lopez Executive No. 6: Howard, Lopez, Gasol, Tim Duncan, Noah, Cousins, Jonas Valanciunas. USA Today Sports
What tweaks will you make? Joerger: I hope that we'll play a little bit faster and get the ball up and down the floor a little bit quicker and play with a quicker pace, and not for the reason of getting a quick shot unless something presents itself at the rim. But by getting up and using a larger part of the shot clock, we hope to be able to move the ball more and then attack inside with Marc Gasol and Zach Randolph or creating better opportunities for drives with Mike Conley. SI.com
Miller is expected to provide a boost to a team that ranked 27th scoring 93.4 points per game and 24th beyond the arc shooting 34.5 percent. Quincy Pondexter was the Grizzlies' most accurate shooter from 3-point range, hitting 39.5. Miller offers an immediate upgrade. "And it's great to add another NBA champion that's for sure," center Marc Gasol said. "Mike another voice, veteran voice in the locker room, it really does help. Now we have three NBA champions that can teach all the little things that it takes to get there." Washington Post
The team is led at the top of the rotation by Marc Gasol, Zach Randolph and Mike Conley, while veteran forward Tony Allen serves as one of the lead dogs in the locker room. But for the team to take the next step, Joerger believes the growth will need to come from the team's younger role players. "For us to grow from within Jerryd Bayless needs to have a nice season for us," Joerger says. "Quincy Pondexter needs to have a nice season for us. Those guys need to make shots from the perimeter and for that to happen they're going to have to be on the floor and be consistent." HoopsWorld
During Spain's 90-60 blowout win over Serbia, Gasol hit teammate Sergio Llull with this incredible full-court pass, which Llull caught for an easy layup. He wows in the NBA with his passing, which is rare for a player his size, but his dominance over other players is even more pronounced in EuroBasket. Just look at the degree of difficulty of this pass: For The Win
Niki Bakouli: Coach @Mike Fratello of Ukraine, picking the best #NBA international players and one of them is of course @Marc Gasol youtube.com/watch?v=IgKXmp… Twitter @Eurohoopsnet
Beginning with that controversial February 2008 trade that sent Pau Gasol to the Lakers for Marc Gasol, Kwame Brown, Javaris Crittenton, Aaron McKie, and two first-round draft picks, the Grizzlies improved on victories in four of the next five seasons. The trade helped Memphis in the long run, though Wallace was lambasted for the deal that handed the Lakers an All-Star forward who helped them to back-to-back titles. "There is no vindication," Wallace said of the deal. "I'm a big boy. I've been in this business for a long time. I worked in Boston. I know getting roasted over a [trade] from time to time is one of the occupational hazards of being an NBA general manager, and we had to do what the organization felt was necessary to reboot the franchise, go in another direction.

Title: Seismic Retrofit of Two-Column Bents with Diamond Shape Columns

This study was focused on evaluating the seismic performance of two-column bents with diamond shape columns and the development of retrofit methods. The bents are from the main structure of a freeway bridge in Las Vegas, Nevada built in the 1960's. The diamond shape of the columns is unique to this bridge. Two identical quarter-scale specimens were built. One two-column bent was tested as built and the other was retrofitted and tested. The bents were tested in the strong direction of the columns, subjected to the 1994 Northridge earthquake until failure. The as-built specimen failed due to shear failure of a column. The columns of the second specimen were wrapped with carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP). The bents were analyzed theoretically using Drain 3-DX, a finite element program and the results were compared. The experimental results led to design recommendations for multi-column bents with diamond shape columns.

Good Questions: King House Sheets?
Los Angeles
DJ writes in about some sheets from our LA Times Home & Garden Roundup:
The LA Times fantastic slideshow on the King House that you featured on Saturday included a picture of bedroom with some great sheets. Wondering if readers have any ideas on where to find the featured sheets of something similar?
12 Comments
Good old Ikea:
Oh but where else:
That was weird!
that was quick!
how about the rug? any idea?
think the rug is/was IKEA too
Are you guys sure it's ikea? The pic you linked to doesn't seem to have the same pattern. I could be seeing things, though.
The rug is NOT ikea
Yes ajh. If you take a screen shot of the Ikea one and rotate it to the right, it lines up perfectly.
I totally have that duvet. From IKEA, of course.
Ajh, the sheets are the "green / multicolour" option, they just don't look the same in the photo.
the rug is Room & Board (and on sale, at least relatively speaking):
I knew it was Ikea the moment I saw it.
I however, prefer the girly pink version of that Andrea sheet :)

I saw this today and I strongly recommend it. I'm even going to make my mom watch it.
An excellent documentary. They compare big corporations with the profile of a psychopath, it is simply fantastic.
You should all definitely watch this.

Windsors Versus Weiner
By GAIL COLLINS
New York Times
July 24, 2013
"… The revelation [of NYC mayoral candidate Anthony Weiner's sexting] did have its moments of perverse fascination. Weiner's nom de porn was Carlos Danger. We have never had a mayor with an official alter ego. Would it need a separate office? Maybe this is something other mayors would want to consider. Michael Bloomberg would probably want to be something like Horatio Health."
I wish to express my concern and dismay at Mr. "Danger" née Weiner's brazen adoption of a nom-de-Net outrageously similar to my own, a sleazy political trick obviously intended to confuse the public and ride my coattails. Moreover, I want to distance myself from him to the fullest extent and categorically state that I have no professional or personal relationship with him whatsoever, and any remarks or (ahem) activities by this individual do not reflect upon me in any way. Thank you.

There is bound to be a way in which the press can continue to do its job while being restrained from its worst excesses. So much here is emotion, bringing in alcohol costs old boys networks, conspiracy theory, all the tired old cliches which simply confuse the issue. Levinson need to be examined and discussed rationally and intelligent decisions made. Making decisions based on confusion and accusations is useless and will not serve anyone's interests.
Newspapers are businesses. They exist to make a profit. If they do not, they die. The excesses they commit are to attract readers from one paper to another. If readers were not attracted by this behaviour the papers would not do it. People like to read this stuff. If people did not buy and read the stuff that everyone hates so much, so they say, there would be no incentive to do it.
When Princess Diana died in Paris, it was blamed on the paparazzi and therefore the press. Given the outpouring of hatred worldwide against the paps, it is obvious to anyone that newspaper sales with their pictures in, the wrecked car and so on, would plummet. No-one would want to read or look at the pictures taken by these vile individuals because....er..er..except sales of newspapers and magazines with these pictures in soared. I can't imagine who was reading them because everyone agreed these were pictures that shouldn't have been printed.
The hypocrisy of the British knows no bounds when it comes to talking about their reading habits. The British public are up in arms about the excesses of the press. Which papers commit the greatest excesses? The ones that sell the most.
Quote: The hypocrisy of the British knows no bounds when it comes to talking about their reading habits. The British public are up in arms about the excesses of the press. Which papers commit the greatest excesses? The ones that sell the most.
I don't get that either Lemmy - just who is buying these papers?
While we are talking about press freedom, I know this was not in the remit of Leveson - but should the tabloid press be regulated to be politically neutral?
Or does the traditional election day 'Vote Liberal Troy Labour' headlines at least highlight the political opinions of whatever paper mouth-peace you happen to be reading/wiping your bum with?
Quote: just who is buying these papers?
So far as the national dailies are concerned, less than 10 million people, in a population of 60 million, and the numbers have been falling for several years. (If I have my arithmetic right)
Figure from here
Of course the numbers reading them will be larger, but I think studies have shown that newspaper reading is now a minority pastime.
Consequently I don't see any hypocrisy - if half the population complain about newspapers, and the other half read them, there wouldn't be. But if only one sixth actually pay for them, what I don't see is how they're considered so important, or how they think that lowering their standards will improve their sales.
Well perhaps they've decided most people are a lost cause, and they are publishing for a minority and don't care about anyone else, but that doesn't mean the majority should just let them get on with it.
And perhaps they are important because their readers are enough to swing elections, but the same comment applies.
Quote: While we are talking about press freedom, I know this was not in the remit of Leveson - but should the tabloid press be regulated to be politically neutral?
There is not and never has been any remit on the press to be politically anything. In a free society people are able and should voice their opinions. British newspapers reflect those opinions right across the spectrum.
As mikehit says, the phrase politically neutral cannot be defined because it has no meaning. What a communist considers right wing bias could be what a BNP member considers dangerously left-leaning. Politically neutral means 'neutral from my personal point of view'. That is no neutrality at all since everyone's 'my point of view ' is different.
I am astonished that when you look at MP's expenses, banker's excesses, the police Hillsborough scandal - the only way we know and get to do anything about them is through a free, if unruly press. And yet we hear people who want them regulated. There are many bankers, politicians, local councillors who would love to see a regulated press - regulated by them - but I'm amazed that there should be so many people in the country ready to support them.
Incidentally, just been listening to a skit on tabloid papers and they always use a sort of rough and ready south London yobbish sort of accent for the journalists. I always laugh because if you walk into any tabloid paper's newsroom you will see a staff comprising nicely spoken privately educated folk for the most part. In my long 45 years experience of Fleet Street, the most disreputable and untrustworthy group as a whole were the old Etonians.
I don't think we need new politically motivated laws, we must remember that if it wasn't for the press probing deeply we never would have learned about MPs fiddling their expenses. There is a great danger with a polictically controlled press in as much as 'the powers that be' could then stop publications about their behaviour that they didn't feel we should know about. They have this arrogance, that they know better than we and would not hesitate to use such laws to protect their misdemeanours.
I know they have misbehaved but the law is there to be used if required. There is no such thing a poliically-neutral control so I guess the law should be toughened up, the will of the police to arrest and prosecute as well. One last thing, longer prison sentences for such law breaking otherwise it may be considered worthwhile paying the price is all you get is a slap on the wrist which is far too prevalent now.
Quote: Cameron would rather punish us all by increasing the cost of alcohol.
Following on from the Scot Nats who have already done it
Quote: existing laws could be used to control excessive drinking in our city centres
remind me, who was it changed the law on drinking hours so that 24 hour boozing is now possible
just in case your memory fails
Quote: Culture Secretary Tessa Jowell told BBC Newsnight the new law was necessary "to make it possible for the vast majority of people who drink but who never get into trouble to have more freedom as to when they drink".
and this is what the Police said at the time
Quote: Britain's most senior police officer said he was worried his force's resources would be "stretched", particularly in the early hours of the morning.
Glasshouses and Stones spring to mind
If I understand correctly, Leveson called not for legal (political ) control of the press but for an independent press commission that had option of statutory powers if it was needed to bring the press into line. Where would the political interfierence come in?
Quote: I am astonished....
Well don't be. No-one's saying the press should be shackled but when you look at some of the despicable acts carried out in the name of 'free speech', I can't see how the press can carry on as if nothing happened and that everything's alright now.
Clearly, self-regulation wasn't working. However, and in deference to those against regulation, the perpetrators have been found out and are being dealt with, so one could say the system works....to a point. After all, it was a newspaper that exposed this scandal. But surely the PCC cannot carry on in the way it did before. As someone's said, it cannot be right that a governing body is able to mark its own homework.
Quote: But surely the PCC cannot carry on in the way it did before
No, as you imply, it really can't. Rebekah Brooks (Wade, as she was then), went on holiday with the chairman of the PCC on a couple of occasions.
It was the same as Gordon brown cosying up to the bankers, unacceptable and the people involved should have known better. As should Cameron in his mixing socially with Mrs Brooks and Murdoch's son. Even if there was not corruption they should have known how it would look. But we are now busy building a society where those who have are pulling up the drawbridge behind them so that the have nots do not even have the opportunity to catch up. They really don't care what we think.
The media in its many forms used to be a great outlet for the talents of ordinary kids who could start out as messengers, work hard and show their talents. The best picture editor I ever worked for started out as a picture desk runner. Now the whole business is taken over by the privately educated sons and daughters of metropolitan middle class families. Who else can afford to work as an 'intern' for a year or more earning nothing?
I think it is perfectly possible to regulate the papers without muzzling them. The broadcasters have had a regulatory body for years yet they still produce hard hitting investigations. The people who will lose will be the tabloid readers whose papers will wither on the vine without the celeb/ paparazzi material. And who will scream loudest? The very celebs who are getting publicity at the moment shouting how they have been badly treated. One thing I can say from personal experience.
There is only one person more angry than a celebrity who has been photographed when they didn't want to be - that's a celebrity who has been ignored
Quote: If I understand correctly, Leveson called not for legal (political ) control of the press but for an independent press commission that had option of statutory powers if it was needed to bring the press into line. Where would the political interfierence come in?
Would it be that politicians appointed the commision?
Part of the problem is the tabloids helping create "celebrity culture". These people, who some years ago would never even have surfaced much less become household names, are the very ones who try to manipulate the media to further their own careers. How shocking that the media should develop their own opinion and agenda which might not be the same direction as the celeb wants. The media feel that as they were the ones to create the personality, they should be the arbiters of whether they remain one. Mentioning Princess Diana above is a case in point of a fluctuating relationship with the press.
I don't for one moment condone what they did, and some things were downright wrong and criminal, but shackling the press is the first step on any dictatorship's agenda: manipulating output to what the government wants. A free press is the only way to keep the democracy we enjoy. If anyone thinks the press won't continue to use underhand methods, whatever the legislation, they are sadly deluded. Punishments can be severe, but as in the past, those caught will just end up moving jobs to similar ones elsewhere. The public must bear some responsibility, as without the demand for the large amount of tripe produced, the press wouldn't bother producing it. As is, it sells papers, and that's all journos want to keep employed.
Too many people don't think too deeply about a subject, just jumping on the bandwagon and regurgitating opinions of others as if they were the gospel truth.
Personally, I don't consider the opinions of single papers alone, preferring instead to read around different sources and make my own mind up. And I like the crosswords!
Quote: The people who will lose will be the tabloid readers whose papers will wither on the vine without the celeb/ paparazzi material. And who will scream loudest?

So.... What are the negatives of muzzling the press?

Hi! If it isn't a bother could I please have a Harry imagine? I'm not picky but something that has to do with autumn would be amazing! :) Lots of love xoxo AmberYour daughter screamed and squealed, jumping from pile to pile of leaves. They flew in the air, surrounding her, tangling in her chocolate brown hair, crunching crisply under her boots. Harry held your hand, watching her, not being able to do anything but smile, not having the heart to end her fun. "I think it's safe to say that she likes this time of year best." He chuckles, sitting on the swing of the playground you had come to. Sitting beside him, you nod, "I think she just likes the leaves the most." You smile, watching her jump up and down. "You know, it was autumn when we first met." He says, scraping some of the leafs up with his boot, buttoning his coat up more. Looking over at your daughter you get up to catch her from falling before walking back over to Harry "Yeah, yeah I remember." You smile, reaching over to take his hand. "And we had her in autumn, and got married too." You smile, squeezing his hand. "Seems like autumn is a pretty good time for is isn't it?" He laughs, swishing his hair back over his forehead. There had been so many important events that had happened this time of the year it was hard not to notice. "I think we're pretty good all the time." You say as he nods quickly to get himself out of trouble. "I just mean that I like autumn too." He says quietly as you laugh. "Me too Styles, me too." Quickly breathing out, he smiles and pulls you over to the leaves and stirs them up with his boots, smiling as the crunch and crumble. Ruffling his hair, you laugh "I think you like them as much as she does." He laughs at your remark and nods, "I think you're right love, I think you're right."
