Blank pages at start and finish of the book.
Please can someone clarify. I have been looking at my two previously printed hard back books.
When you open the book. the first thing you see is a plain white page of a rougher paper type than the rest of the book. You turn this over to find the title page. Same again at the rear of the book after the Blurb logo end page.
Is this automatically added to every book, or just the hard back book. Or is this a page I need to account for as page 1 when I am creating my book in Booksmart if i want a blank page.
If I have my title page as page 1, do I still get the double sided rougher white page anyway as a standard thing, or do I need to add them as pages 1 & 2 and have the title as page 3.
Don't want to waste two printed pages in the book trying to achieve a blank page at the front only to find I get 4 blank pages when its printed.
Hope you can understand my questions.
The 'rougher' paper is only in the hardcover books, and is not included in your page count.
Hope that helps!

In 1980, the United States passed a law -- called the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) -- that gave the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) the power to force the cleanup of Superfund sites. Superfund sites are areas that were contaminated by toxic waste in the past, leaving the land unappealing to developers and nearby communities, even after they were cleaned up [source: EPA].
Despite the law's intentions to return previously unusable land to the marketplace, many Superfund sites remained empty after cleanup. Even years later, private purchasers are still concerned there may be lingering effects from the toxic waste, which makes them hesitant to buy or develop the land. Corporate purchasers fear that they will be on the hook for the costs of future cleanups for pollution that they didn't create. In some cases, there's been permanent damage to the economies and property values of communities containing Superfund sites.
In response to these problems, the EPA and Congress passed the Superfund Redevelopment Initiative (SRI) in 1999 to help transition Superfund sites from cleanup to redevelopment. The SRI works with communities to develop uses for sites waiting for cleanup and to find uses for previously cleaned sites. Another law allows potential buyers to qualify as a "bona fide prospective purchaser." If the purchaser does qualify, then that person or company would be shielded from any legal liability to pay for the cleanup of waste they didn't cause [source: EPA].
While it may be slow going to overcome negative media attention and misconceptions about the cleanup of Superfund sites, over the years, hundreds of communities have been able to reclaim previously contaminated sites for a variety of commercial, residential, recreational and ecological uses [source: EPA].

Hurricane Experts Track 2013 StormsBy Evelina Burnett | Published 12 Jul 2013 09:31am |
The 53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadron, known as the Hurricane Hunters, fly into the middle of a hurricane to gather data such as temperature, wind speed, dewpoint and air pressure. All that data is sent by satellite to the National Hurricane Center in Miami. Forecasters are predicting 13 to 20 named storms this hurricane season, with 3 to 6 expected to be major storms and Hurricane Hunters, based at Biloxi's Keesler Air Force Base, help make hurricane forecast tracks more accurate.
Lt. Col. Jon Talbot, the squadron's chief meteorologist. He says that the data the Hurricane Hunters provide shaves off about 25 miles on either side of the warning area.
"Generally the track forecasts have gotten very, very good, it's because we have high resolution models that utilize a lot of different types of information, and our information is part of than. So we make the model forecasts about 15 percent better when you consider all the different data sources there are," says Talbot.
He says that the data the Hurricane Hunters provide shaves off about 25 miles on either side of the warning area. The smaller evacuation zones disrupt fewer people and businesses. It also lends more accuracy to forecast tracks, which, he hopes, will make people more likely to heed warnings.
"We're trying to you know, save lives at the same time, that's a big part of what we're doing to get people aware of , 'Hey this thing is coming you need to leave, you need to get out of the way,' we definitely do not want to have another 300 deaths like we had here along the Mississippi Coast during Hurricane Katrina," explains Talbot.
Talbot says the planes can provide accuracy that satellites, for example, can't. For example, sometimes the eye of a hurricane is not clearly visible because it isn't well formed or it's covered in clouds. The planes use barometric pressure to locate it exactly.
"What's very important about that is if you tell the models that forecast where the storm is gonna go, if you give it a bad position and you're off by about 20 miles, 3 or 4 days later, you're off by about 250 to 300 miles from where that thing is, so you've got to be precise, where you tell the model, 'This is where it is.'" emphasizes Talbot.
Talbot spoke to a group this week at the Biloxi Visitors Center, part of a speaking series the Hurricane Hunters are giving monthly in Biloxi through the end of hurricane season this November.

Russian Colonialism
Russian Colonialism describes a process that has evolved in the course of over five centuries - in the wake of military conquest and ideological and political unions in four eras. Its starting point is believed to be 1477 and its end in 1991.[citation needed]
Ivan III and IV expanded Muscovy's borders considerably by annexing Novgorod and settled the annexed territories with Muscovite/Russian servitors and peasants from the Kliazma-Suzdal region. After a period of political instability the Romanovs came to power and this expansion-colonization of the Tsardom continued.
While western Europe colonized the new world, Russia expanded overland to the east and south. East of the Urals it encountered little resistance in a region that had developed little since the height of Mongol power.
This continued unceasingly; by the end of the 19th century, the Russian Empire reached from the Black sea to the Pacific Ocean, and for some time even included colonies in the Americas
The region was governed from Moscow, settled by Russians, and continued to grow under Soviet rule. Areas that were formerly part of the Russian Empire, and others still that had been captured from the Nazis during World War II were proclaimed as autonomous republics, within the USSR.
Tsarist era[edit]
Economic integration[edit]
In the late 19th century industrialization became a driving force behind Russian imperial policy, which rapidly developed coal and iron-ore extraction in non-Russian areas like the Donets Basin, eventually eclipsing production in the Urals. The planting of cotton began in Central Asia. Cloth manufacturing from cotton was quite a new concept for non-Russians.[citation needed] While industrial growth occurred, it was one-sided, because finishing and manufacturing remained underdeveloped in non-Russian territories, except for Russian Poland and the Baltic provinces. During the 1920s Soviet historians considered these policies and actions colonialism.
In the 19th century, Russian settlers on traditional Kirghiz land drove a lot of the Kirghiz over the border to China.[1]
In Ukraine under Tsarist rule mercantile legislation (enacted in the 1720s in order to foster trade and commerce in central and north-western Russia) effectively destroyed Ukrainian urban manufacturing and merchants by the nineteenth century. Throughout the next century tariff policy benefited central-Russian producers at the expense of non-Russian borderland producers. State-sponsored programs under the Tsarist and Soviet regimes developed extractive and heavy machine-building industries and promoted agricultural exports. On the other hand, they neglected the consumer manufacturing, finishing, and service sectors. In 1900 Ukraine produced 52 percent of the empire's pig-iron and 20 percent of its iron and steel. Between 1900 and 1914 Tsarist Ukraine produced on average 75 percent of the empire's grain exports. Meanwhile, peasants still used earthenware utensils, wooden axles and hinges, and straw-thatched roofs. Finished goods were imported at excessively high prices set by Russia, while the prices for Donets' industrial products was low.[2] Vladimir Lenin, in exile in 1914, stated in a speech that "it [Ukraine] has become for Russia what Ireland was for England: exploited in the extreme and receiving nothing in return."[3]
National assimilation[edit]
Russians, Ukrainians and other nationalities migrated to the Siberian lands from the conquest onwards.
Under Emperor Alexander III (reigned 1881-1894) the Russian administration increased efforts to assimilate non-Russian peoples.[4]
Impetus for colonialism[edit]
Standard explanations for colonialism such as economic exploitation and religious causes can also account for much of Russian expansionism into colonisable areas. Since the Russian Empire grew overland (with the exception of the Russian possession on the west cost of North America: Alaska and Fort Ross), protection of borderlands and settled areas from nomadic raiders and slavers (especially in the south) also played a role.
Soviet era[edit]
On the eve of Ukrainian independence in 1991, eight of Ukraine's thirteen political parties referred to the country as an exploited "colony" in their programs. After 1991 most[citation needed] Ukrainian historians described Ukrainians as victims of colonialism while literary scholars drew attention to the nation's "post-colonial" condition. Most Russian historians[which?] stressed that Ukrainians had also served as agents of empire (compare the role of the Scots in the British Empire) and characterized Ukraine's historical status as "semi-colonial". Whereas academics disagree as to whether to label the central policies as "Russian", tsarist, Soviet or intentionally "anti-Ukrainian", and whether the development that did occur was worth the cost, most[quantify] Russians and a minority of the population in Ukraine regard that country's historical association with Russia favorably and do not see Ukraine as a colonial victim of Russian imperial power. On the other hand, those who regard Ukraine as a victim of Russian imperialism, are typically Ukrainian nationalists from Western Ukraine, which was never part of Russia or the USSR until 1939. With the rise of nationalism and neo-fascism in Ukraine after the fall of the Soviet Union, the notion that Ukraine was a victim of Russian aggression and imperialism became popular throughout many parts of the country.
Post Soviet Era[edit]
Although Russian colonialism formally ended in 1991 with the political independence of the former Soviet Republics, in practice Russian capital still dominates those territories and can be said to maintain a neo-colonial relationship to them. Russian settlers who arrived in Soviet times still tend to identify culturally and intellectually with Moscow and Russia, rather than the nations they live in.
It is also argued by some that some parts of the current Russian state, such as Chechnya, are colonial possessions of Russia.

It was accompanied by an economic policy which emphasized the development of transport and heavy industry, and the assimilation of outlying regions into a single imperial economy."

Switzerland: The SVP threatens with new Ausschaffungsinitiative
To Denmark and the Netherlands the law concerning aliens is to be intensified also in Switzerland. That demands the Swiss people's party (SVP). , According to a proposal of the working group used by the Upper House of Parliament to the Ausschaffungsinitiative further foreigners be proven, who are condemned because of criminal offenses to at least six months prison, should, however should classifications not be carried out, if international law were injured. The SVP wants not to accept that and threatens with a further initiative, should not the criteria for the classification be intensified.
The working group for the conversion of the Ausschaffungsinitiative [1] is to present a majority proposal, which corresponds actually to the counter proposal. The SVP does not want to give itself thereby contently.
[1] In the working group for the conversion of the people initiative "for the Ausschaffung of criminal foreigners" two seats for representatives or representatives of the Initiativkomitees are reserved. The cantonal committees responsible for the execution take directors (KKJPD) and the conference of the cantonal social directresses and social directors (SODK) with two persons serve a sentence, with one representative or a representative each from the conference of the cantonal law and police directors and -. The Federal Office for migration (BFM) and the Federal Office for law (BJ) are likewise represented by one person each in the working group. Director/conductor of the working group is Heinrich vest. The practicing lawyer and extraordinary professor for public right of the University of Basel were up to its retirement 2006 during 18 years director of the federal office for law (BJ). (Source)Controversy during the conversion of the Ausschaffungsinitiative: The working group under the direction of law professor Heinrich vest for the conversion of the SVP Ausschaffungs initiative could not itself unite on a common proposal. The report, which is handed over next week at Minister of Justice to Simonetta Sommaruga, presents a majority proposal, which the SVP rejects.
The majority proposal of the working group corresponds to the counter proposal scarcely which was subject in the popular vote in accordance with searches of the "Sunday newspaper" actually.
Human rights respect
To be proven are therefore foreigners, who were condemned to a term of imprisonment by at least 6 months or more. The mechanism for automatic classification is related however in several points. So classifications are not to be carried out, if compelling international law were injured. In addition, other human right reservations are made.
The SVP wants not to let such restrictions be valid. It rejects the majority proposal therefore. To supplement this, although the seven-member working group was ready, the measure of punishment default of 6 months with a concrete crime catalog and although it accepted that the social abuse is to be considered as Ausschaffungsgrund.
If the majority proposal of the working group should become generally accepted, SVP boss of tonuses Brunner already threatens with a second Ausschaffungsinitiative.

Here the statement of the SVP to the proposal of the working group used by Bundestag to the Auschaffungsinitiative:
Aren't 85% of the foreign criminal ones to be out-created?
The SVP seizes counter measures
The SVP takes the final report of the working group for the conversion of the Ausschaffungsinitiative with frightening to the knowledge. The proposal of the majority of the working group is untenable: It would convert the unfit counter project, not however the Ausschaffungsinitiative accepted by people and conditions. As the working group defines minimum penalties as a condition for the Ausschaffung, 85% of the criminal foreigners would not have to leave the country. It cannot be that the people will is ignored in so glaring way. The SVP accepts this not and urgently requests the Upper House of Parliament to convert the people initiative correctly. The SVP will submit an auxiliary report to the Upper House of Parliament in the process of the summer and will submit its view of the things.
The SVP with frightening takes the final report of the working group of the Swiss federal law and police section (EJPD), published today, to the knowledge. The variant requested by the majority the working group contradicts the principal purposes of the initiative diametrically and actually nothing in the present situation would change. Thus the will, which was brought on 28 November 2010 by a majority from people and conditions to the expression, would occur glaringly. With the fact it is in the long run signaled to the people that it does not have to say anything. It was obviously never the intention of Bundesrätin Sommaruga and their expert of converting the initiative correctly.
The commission majority postulates a minimum penalty of 6 months, in order to be able to arrange a national reference. This demand corresponds to the concept of the unfit counter project, which was rejected by all cantons and a majority of the voting citizens. The clear wording of the Ausschaffungsinitiative excludes a minimum penalty: Considerably for a national reference the injury of the right goods must be, not the subjective estimate of a criminal judge. Is added: With a minimum penalty almost 85% the offender could not be out-created, because its punishment is below 6 months.
Also the further restrictions, which the commission majority plans, occur the initiative: While the law variant of the Initiativkomitees would lead this number to approximately 16 ' 000 national references (of it approximately 8 ' 000 foreign offenders without right to reside!), would lie with the variant of the commission majority still with well 2 ' 500 cases. In order to be able to create more security, however - apart from the heavy crimes such as murder, robbery and rape - straight also hard reaching through is with crimes such as bodily injuries, break-down or drug trade necessary, since these endanger the public order and security in particular.
Also the reservations of the commission majority concerning not compelling international law, which have in the long run only the personal circumstances and the well-being of the perpetrator in the focus, are unacceptable from view of the SVP. Altogether the proposal of the commission majority must be classified as unfit: It ignores the defaults and goals of the initiative and orients themselves instead at the rejected counter project. This was not the order of the working group.
Already the composition of the EJPD working group let the bad result suspect: Five Initiativgegner and two proponents should compile an execution law to the Ausschaffungsinitiative. It is not coincidence that only the two proponents supported a literal conversion of the initiative. The SVP before this background an auxiliary report to compile again in detail to be described in order to the Upper House of Parliament as also the parliament their proposal. The party of the public will present this report after summer holidays. The SVP will fight with all it the available means for the correct conversion of the people will. If necessary, a new people initiative is to be launched, which fixes the wording of the correct conversion in the condition.
The SVP thanks their representatives in the working group for their commitment in the sense of the majority of people and conditions.

May 6th 2009 1:18AM Please Blizzard think of this, this is exactly what rogues need to become more than a bit of filler DPS. To you guys worried about the PVP ramifications, we are already focus fired whenever spotted in PVP. Do you honestly think a big glowing "Kill Me!!!" sign over our heads every 10 minutes is going to change our chances? The alternative of course is upping our DPS, does that sound like the better option to you?

Breakfast Topic: Performance anxiety {WoW}
Mar 16th 2009 8:16AM This is incredibly relevant to something that happened to me just last night. I play a rogue and I'm mostly geared in 25 man epics. because of this I find that I'm under a lot of pressure to perform at 100% at all times. If someone out DPS'd me on a given fight I feel I haven't done my job. During last nights 25 man my system or network or some force beyond my control decided I couldn't stay connected during any action. Granted, this is an uncontrollable circumstance, but its still one of the few things that will actually get me fairly annoyed. Its incredibly nerve racking when you believe you have to perform to your fullest, even if it may not be necessary or possible at the given moment.
Breakfast Topic: Most frustrating moment {WoW}
Feb 27th 2009 9:09AM My moment was a guild EOE attempt. It was all I needed for Champion of the Frozen Wastes and I was quite excited as we had a fairly stellar group going and were burning through phase one and two like it was nothing. Then comes phase three.... needless to say I don't think anyone other than myself and a handful of others had practiced on the damn things, so we proceeded to wipe about 10 times at about 20%. This isn't the worst part, we give up, port to Dalaran, and continue to moan about our hatred of vehicle combat, when suddenly massive guild achievement spam fills chat....the second group which of course no one expected to have a chance to down him had done it. This leads to our GM/Raid leader screaming curses in vent and something about never logging on again and storming away....good times.

Chris & Kenny's Blend of Prints
House Tour
Name: Chris Sewell and Kenny Osehan, proprietors of the Presidio Motel and on-site shop, the Supply Room
Location: Santa Barbara, California
Size: 900 square feet — 1 bed + 1 bath
Years lived in: 2½
I met Chris and Kenny while in Santa Barbara photographing their friend's home, Jesse & Leia's Inspired Americana Bungalow. I have a theory — people with beautiful homes have friends with stylish pads (which proved to be the case with Jesse and Leia). When I stepped foot into Chris and Kenny's living room, I felt the presence of Palm Springs inspiration. The Mid-Century Modern furniture and the vintage organ adds a real playful element to their home.
Kenny's love for prints is featured in almost every room. Vibrant textiles are used for wall art, throw blankets, and a padding for the dining room nook. Even though the home may seem minimal to some, the accessories and accent pieces intrigue guests to study the smaller details. Each furnishing was carefully chosen for its beauty and overall fit within the existing style. I wish I could have stayed longer visiting Chris and Kenny and really absorb their textured home.
Apartment Therapy Survey:
Our Style: We're both eclectic. Chris has a very Mid-Century minimal style and mine is more ethnic and colorful. Throughout the years of living together, we have influenced each other's aesthetics, from how we dress to how we live. I guess it is a natural process when you spend so much time with another person. It's interesting to see how they blend naturally. We like the idea of mixing different styles together and having pieces bounce off each other in a playful way.
Inspiration: Creating a peaceful getaway from our business, our community of friends, our travels, while incorporating textures, colors, shapes, zigzags, and space. We have both been pretty obsessed with textiles: Navajo, Peruvian, Tunisian, Mexican, etc. They have such bright, fun prints and colors. They make my eyes say "wow!" I kind of want to swim in them sometimes.
Favorite Element: The original kitchen. From the stove, to the flooring, to the built-in breakfast nook, these elements give the apartment much of it's personality. We also have a lot of natural light that comes in and a nice little water fountain outside our window.
Biggest Challenge: Not ripping out the carpet our landlord insisted on keeping.
What Friends Say: For the most part they say, "Do we really have to take off our shoes?" Chris blames it on me and says, Yes, Asian house rules, but it's really because of the dumb carpet and his OCD. They also say nice things like it feels good in here.
Biggest Embarrassment: The carpet!
Proudest DIY: Our secret gate that allows us to pass between the motel and our home in five steps. We live right next door to our business, so we decided to make our commute even easier by sawing a gate in the fence that separates the motel from our apartment.
Biggest Indulgence: Having a housekeeper clean our home. It keeps the peace between us.
Best advice: Don't buy anything you don't absolutely love and can't live without. Less is more.
Dream source: As a reminder of our trip, we always try to pick up something special on our travels. As small business owners, we like to support other small businesses and independent artists as often as possible. We always make a point to find cool little boutiques wherever we go. Also, we love scouring antique shops, thrift stores, and flea markets.

So I click on the house tour without scrolling down and see the entryway photo and see the stuff hanging up and the tiny shoes paralell to the big shoes and I go, "whose purse is that? The house belongs to a Kenny and a Chris." Ahh...Chris is a girl.
Adore the living room. That couch looks so comfortable. The kitchen, however, is my favorite. The aqua tile is amazing.
Oh that kitchen is so amazing! I have kitchen envy.
I like this enough that I barely noticed the carpet. Mid-century has become so commonplace as to always require some other style in its presence, in my opinion.
Even though the art itself is colorful, I found myself longing for color on the walls, maybe pulling from the pieces themselves. I think it would do a lot to help to help the styles hold hands.
...But it chafes me a little to see the disparate Mexican, Tunisian and Peruvian arts all lumped together with the descriptor "Ethnic."
I was going to say something similar to what Yvette has said. I've never been a fan of the word "ethnic" as an umbrella term for all things traditional and folk that are produced by non-white societies.
Anyway, some of those pieces are beautiful.
What on earth is that piano looking thing tucked in the corner? Is that seriously a mid-century mini-electric organ?!? Where can I find one of those?!?!?
Overall nice job pulling some very disparate things together.
The aqua tilework in the kitchen is so bright, clean, and cheerful looking. I thought the collection of Lone Ranger action figures above the stove a neat touch of decoration too. I have to confess to a dislike of wall to wall carpeting, particularly in light colours, but that's my kink.
I want that couch.
LOVE that couch! also the turquoise chairs but think I would have them facing the opposite way.and really like the plant holders in the bathroom and on the coffee table, did you make them? Would have appreciated a floor plan but will forgive such a cute couple for not providing one. Thanks for sharing!
It's always very nice to see a house w/ carpeted floor. =)
I love your finds of little things, amazing. and yes, where did you guys find that piano???
An underwhelming comment, but I actually want to know where the purple doormat came from. ^^;;; I need a doormat and love purple? Great space, though.
Seriously gorgeous home. These two certainly know how to use colour. Love it.
Omg, I squealed when I saw the opening photo of the checkered white and turquoise linoleum floor! And then it turned into a whole white and turquoise kitchen! With vintage oven! And gorgeous breakfast nook! My apologies, but I didn't even look at the other pictures.
Piano/Organ was a $40 thrift shop find, Door mat is from americanfloormats.com (they come in other colors too and are super durable),ceramics are Rebecca Morris and are available in the Supply Room @ the Presidio Motel-Thanks for the feature A.T.-come see us again soon!
wow!! $40 for that piano/organ?? nice. what is the condition? just an FYI, you could sell that thing for at least couple thousand dollars if it's in good condition.
I feel right at home! After spotting at least four things that our homes share (hang-it-all, electric fan, broken clay pot, Nelson bubble lamp and clock, lightolier lytegem in persimmon) I realized that I could live in this place.
Thanks for sharing and I MUST say that you have exquisite taste! :)
I would live here in a skinny minute. It's a perfect combination of taste, kitsche, and comfort.
This reminds me so much of my grandparents' home. It was actual factual mid-century, and they were a husband/wife surgeon/nurse who spent a lot of time volunteering in Haiti, travelling to Africa, and collecting Native American art. So the combo of mid-century plus (how do I say this politically correctly?) traditional-and-folk-art-produced-by-non-white-societies just feels so nostalgic to me.
Oh - and they had an organ. Which we inherited. And then had to sadly send to a thrift store when we realized there's no room for an organ in an 800 sq ft apartment with 2 adults and 2 kids. Oh well.
ugh. ethnic? seriously? almost as annoying as Pi's comment about purses. didn't even bother with this one.
Ethnic? No. Colorful, playful, comfy and a little kitschy? Yes! I'm not a decor/design snob and this looks like a very comfy, fun place to relax.
If less is more than why accumulate so much? A little too many "I'm-so-cultured" self identifiers in this place- a bit stonerish, but definitely done with intent and love.
That kitchen with e nook is so cool.
Love it! But I would face the two turquoise chairs and table toward the window. It seems like a relaxing spot to have a cup of tea and it would be nice to look out at a tree rather than a wall.
Feels homey, and to keep it that way you may want to ask your landlord to upgrade the windows. My parents had a home with jalosie windows when I was a teenager. I repeatedly "broke in" by sliding glass slats to reach in to a lock without even having to break anything. Jalosie windows don't insulate, either.
We had the chairs on our porch turned the other way buy they didn't allow for a good flow to enter through front door-so now we simply turn them when we are hanging out front-and to the comment about the stoner-ish vibe....thank you we really dig' that vibe-maaaaaaan.
I didn't even notice the wall to wall carpet.
Anyway, I love it. My husband has a job with a non profit and he travels a lot of East Africa, and brings home all these wonderful folk art pieces. I love mid century mod, and it has always been a challenge to intergrate both. This tour has provided inspiration on how it can be done.
Thank you.
Thought I was the only one to be annoyed by their usage of the word "ethnic". Great home though.
I was referring only to the kitchen windows, of course--the other windows look great. Your home is pleasingly light, bright, and casual, much like friends' homes around Miami, so I wasn't surprised to see that it's in California. Thanks for sharing your sunny home.
Haha! I'm laughing because I'm in total agreement with everyone regarding the wall-to-wall carpet! I'm the biggest carpet hater I know, and it didn't even bother me here. Honestly, first time ever. I'm always commenting on the carpet. But this home is so lovely, I barely noticed it. Fabulous.
Where did you get that sculptural piece over the fireplace????? I love it.
I think your place has alot of style based on your own personal design aesthetics. I think the 2 of you have collaborated well and it works for you. You do have A LOT of interesting tschotskes. You are lucky to have the housekeeper dust all of them! I especially like your Western collection (the cowboys and Indian) and I also like the kachinas (are they mingled with an original Girard?) Also, your vintage lighting collection fits well in each space. Your place looks very cozy.
reminds me of the ace in palm springs - very cool, laid-back, beachy style with hints of mid-century and colorful textiles.
i personally would want a more refined space, but they have great treasures + pieces.
re: the word of "ethnic" - many people (myself included) don't know the history of patterns + textiles we see + own. i don't mean to be insensitive w/ that word, but don't know what other term would be better for describing that style, not designating it's origin...
Really nice! I love all the textiles and art... Much of the architecture is similar to that in my cottage (though I have wood floors at present). And it is even pretty cool to see carpet, because in LA where I am looking around for a new space, some places do have mandatory carpet... Your beautiful style makes it a non-issue...
I love the kitchen.
I too am annoyed at the use of "ethnic" here...wow, let's be lazy and lump all those non-whites together. I guess AT didn't learn much after this: http://onegrandhome.wordpress.com/2009/12/29/apttherap/
@Jessica O'Brian: the point is that it isn't one style. So there is no word to describe it. why not just write you have art. or maybe folk art. or maybe you bought art pieces from various destinations during your travelling.
Love the kitchen. overall lovely.
I also really like the trend of adding pictures of the owners. Wondering why AT does not alwasys do this... Is it reserved for the adorable owners only?
@fulinlin - people refer to things as "mid-century" in style, even if they aren't actually from mid-century and are brand new pieces... it's a term used to describe an appearance or general style. when some use the word "ethnic" they are not saying the pieces they are describing are from the same origin or country. it's a word used to describe a certain look, which in many cases is handmade textiles in certain colors and patterns. if "ethnic" was offensive, as many here are stating, i would not use it, but i feel there should be some alternative adjective to describe that style or genre. and again, one that could be used for the *look* of it, not necessary the *actual* origin of it.
saying you have collected items from places you've traveled may be accurate, but it does not replace an adjective describing their style. collecting items while traveling could mean a million different styles, appearances, heritages, etc. to me, that doesn't take the place of what one is trying to say when they say, "ethnic."
would love to hear of alternatives to that word and haven't yet on this thread. that's all...
Just lovely! All I could think about was the carpet looking at the photographs. Beige and gray carpet. Yuck. I agree. And how do you ever really get it clean? No shoes is a good start, i guess. Daring kitchen. And I love the little camper. Too cute for words. I want one!
What a lovely, cozy home! Quick question, where did you guys get your shearling slippers?
@Jessica O'Brian: the problem is that ethnic as well could mean hunderds of thousands of things which have absolutely nothing in common. It is meaningless. And instead of using a meaningless word I would rather just say art because in saying art I express exactly the same amount of actual information about art pieces than I would if I would write ethnic art. There is no word because there is no such thing as ethnic art. You have to either just use a broader term- like art or be more specific and write what you exactly have.
Would you think it makes sense to say someones house contains mid-century design and western art if by western art you mean everything from 3000 years old greek statues over italian renaissance paintings to french baroque furniture to american pop-culture prints? And ethnic art is even more diverse than "Western art". It doesn't make sense to use the term "ethnic art" because it gives the impression that such a thing exists, that there is a base, something that they all share. They don't. It's not about a term, it is about the idea that is behind that term. It is about not taking those things seriously, as independent cultures, art traditions that sometimes do have similarities and conncetions and often don't. It is about fitting so many different cultures into one tiny little box labeled "ethnic" while distinguish between so many different styles and countries in our own Western world.
Give up finding one term for things that aren't the same and instead embrace their diversity.
i LOVE the couch! its gorgeous! may I ask where you got it? Also, the space is just great...i love how you have blended mid-century pieces with the "ethnic" aesthetic.
Absolutely adore the piece over the fireplace.
And, for the record, we are a no outside shoe apartment too. We just say it's because of the small space and allergies. It's quite humorous to see who of our family and friends has holes in their socks though.
1. Beautiful door. I really did enjoy it
2. Here is the Merriam Webster definition for "ethnic"
: heathen
2a : of or relating to large groups of people classed according to common racial, national, tribal, religious, linguistic, or cultural origin or background <ethnic minorities> <ethnic enclaves>
Not trying to pick on the author or the supporters of the word, but if the purpose of using the word was as a short-cut for describing a mish-mash of globally cultural art, it, at best, was used incorrectly since the essence of the word is to describe a collection of commonalities. I won't even go into the alternate definition listed as "Heathen". Point is, the word represents a history of non-white cultural ignorance or or disinterest, even if that is not what was meant.
And there are plenty of way to describe their style. Global comes to mind, culturally diverse, globally/culturally inspired (if it was not culturally cultivated). I cringed a bit when I saw the word, because I know the history of where it comes from, but I truly don't believe the author meant it in a derrogatory manner, sometimes though a step needs to be taken outside of ones own existence to see these things and it happens to the best of us.
that was supposed to say "decor", not door.
Also, I've always described my home decor style as AfroFloribbean with European colonial and provincial accents. The word "ethnic" never even crossed my mind when thinking about or describing it.
Plain Jane. Could be so much more.
The sculpture over the fireplace is Curtis Jere --i have one for sale on the classifieds but larger in Philadelphia

447th Air Expeditionary Group Public Affairs
3/18/2008 -
SATHER AIR BASE, Iraq
-- Nestled southwest of Camp Victory, adjacent to Baghdad International Airport, sits the gateway to Iraq for many servicemembers, civilians, cargo and equipment. Sather Air Base (pronounced like "laser") is often confused with BIAP, but the air base is its own entity, serving the Victory Base Complex and Operation Iraqi Freedom as the number one mover of passengers and the number two mover of cargo in Iraq.
Sather is home to the 447th Air Expeditionary Group. The 447th AEG was activated at BIAP in April 2003, after elements of the U.S. Army's 3rd Infantry Division captured the airport April 4 of the same year. The base was named Sather Air Base April 8, 2005, in honor of Air Force Staff Sgt. Scott D. Sather, who was killed two years prior in combat during OIF.
"The Sather mission is to maintain and operate the airfield and aerial port; that's what everything is centered around," said Col. Fred Cheney, 447th AEG commander. "In the past four months, we've brought 142,000 people through here, plus 39,000 tons of cargo, and that's what the whole mission of Sather revolves around - getting people and equipment through here and out to the field where it's needed."
Maintaining the operations tempo here is no small feat. It requires squadrons filled with professionals in their crafts. Many units support Sather's assiduous airfield operation, from the 447th Expeditionary Civil Engineer Squadron repairing runway spalls and maintaining the base as a whole, to the 447th Operations Support Squadron, managing the airfield and its traffic. There are seven squadrons in the 447th AEG and several tenant units, including Explosive Ordinance Disposal and Coalition Air Force Training Team units.
The 447th Expeditionary Logistics Readiness Squadron is responsible for moving an average of 1,700 tons of cargo weekly. The ELRS doesn't stop there, though. They process personnel arriving and departing the deployed area of responsibility and the VBC, not to mention provide logistics support to the 447th AEG and associated VBC units, including vehicle maintenance and operations, supply and logistics planning support.
"The 447th ELRS is critical to supporting the OIF effort by ensuring all associated units have fuel, supplies, vehicles and the equipment required to ensure mission accomplishment," added Lt. Col. Dana Pelletier, the 447th ELRS commander. "In the last four months, the unit supported 5,700 aircraft missions, moved 116,000 passengers and 43,000 tons of equipment into and out of the VBC. Without this support, Airmen, Soldiers, Marines and Sailors would be forced to wait days or weeks longer to receive the required logistical support. Through our convoy mitigation efforts, we have successfully kept over 900 trucks and 7,000 personnel off Iraq's dangerous roads."
That kind of record isn't done by amateurs, and Colonel Pelletier can only sing the praises of the professionals that make up his unit.
"I have the honor of commanding highly motivated logistics professionals representing the total force of active, Guard, Reserve and contract civilians from around the world, brought together as a cohesive team with the single purpose of providing unmatched support."
Sending and receiving cargo is only half the battle. Moving people coming in and leaving out of Sather falls on the shoulders of the 447th Personnel Support for Contingency Operations section.
"The PERSCO team ensures the accountability for more than 1,000 Air Force personnel, plus our Army and coalition counterparts, ensuring every aspect of the Sather mission is accomplished effectively and safely," said Capt. Alex Rangel, the PERSCO commander.
In and out-processing hoards of servicemembers requires a team effort, and according to Captain Rangel, his team has exactly what it takes to get it done right the first time, every time.
"My PERSCO team -- or as I call them my PERSCO Warriors -- are some of the best [noncommissioned officers] and Airmen I have had the honor of serving with. We are a 24-hour, seven-day-a-week operation, and my team continues to do it with the same energy they had when they first arrived in Baghdad. It doesn't matter if we in-process five people or 100 people, we will always do it with a smile," he exclaimed.
Despite the number of units, Sather's population pales in comparison to other camps on the VBC.
"The people of Sather are a combination of active duty Air Force, Guard, Reserve, Army, coalition - the entire range of people who are participating in the conflict here. We all work together to get the mission done," added Colonel Cheney.
Sather also supports the many distinguished visitors that enter Iraq. For many, it is the first stop on their way to a palace, into the international zone or for a tour of surrounding camps.
"There are so many DVs who come through here, it's amazing," Colonel Cheney said. "I think that we treat them really well; they have a smile on their face, although they're usually pretty busy and they're off to some place else. I think they understand and appreciate where they are, and the environment we operate in. I think they're very pleased with the professionalism and the service they get to get them out to where they need to go to do their jobs. "
The 447th AEG traces its lineage back to the 447th Bombardment Group, which was established April 6, 1943, and activated May 1, 1943, at Ephrata Army Air Base, Wash. With the 65th anniversary lingering, Team Sather is continuing the long-standing 447th BG's tradition of professionalism and determined spirit that has spanned the decades, overcame challenges and participated in many wars and conflicts. The group is part of the 332nd Air Expeditionary Wing out of Balad Air Base, Iraq.

C.J., A CHILDDownload as PDF RENDERED : FEBRUARY 17, 2005 TO BE PUBLISHED ~sUyrrmr (&Iurf of 2002-SC-1009-DG J~ COMMONWEALTH OF KENTUCKY ON REVIEW FROM COURT OF APPEALS 2001-CA-1507-DG JEFFERSON CIRCUIT COURT NO . 2001-XX-0031 APPELLEE OPINION OF THE COURT BY JUSTICE JOHNSTONE AFFIRMING In January 2001, C .J ., a student at Shawnee High School in Louisville, pulled a "butterfly knife" on another student during a verbal altercation . After being Mirandized, C .J . gave a statement admitting to having the knife on school property . When C .J . voiced an intention to kill himself, he was admitted to Norton-Kosair Hospital where he remained for eight days . C .J . thereafter resumed attendance at Shawnee High School . C .J . was subsequently charged with unlawful possession of a weapon on school property and second-degree wanton endangerment . At his arraignment in the juvenile session of the Jefferson District Court, the court denied the Commonwealth's motion to detain C .J ., and instead ruled that the case be resolved by informal adjustment A MR, APPELLANT V. C .J ., A CHILD pursuant to KRS 610 .100(3) .' The Commonwealth objected on the grounds that the victim, Shawnee High School, had not been notified or consulted as required by statute . Nonetheless, the juvenile court requested that a public defender step in and explain to C .J . the process of an informal adjustment . C .J . thereafter agreed to surrender his knife, to continue the counseling he had begun after the incident, and to perform ten hours of community service within thirty days . The Commonwealth then attempted to appeal the juvenile court's decision . However, both the Jefferson Circuit Court and the Court of Appeals held that no appeal may be taken from an informal adjustment . This Court thereafter granted discretionary review . The sole issue2 before us is whether the Unified Juvenile Code allows for an appeal from an informal adjustment by the juvenile court . The question is one of statutory interpretation, specifically whether an informal adjustment constitutes a final action by the juvenile court . We conclude that it does not . KRS 23A .080(1) provides that "[a] direct appeal may be taken from District Court to Circuit Court from any final action of the District Court ." With regard to the Juvenile Code, the legislature has specifically designated what types of proceedings are subject to appeal . KRS 620 .155 (appeal by any interested party aggrieved by a proceeding 'KRS 610 .100(3) provides : "Upon the court's motion or the motion of any party, an informal adjustment may be made at any time during the proceedings and with the victim and with those persons specified in KRS 610 .070 having prior notification of the motion ." 2 The Commonwealth raises a second argument concerning the merits of the informal adjustment, and specifically, whether the juvenile court followed the statutory requirements . However, the issue was not properly preserved in the lower courts and will not be addressed herein . under KRS 610 .010(1)(e), involving a dependent, neglected, or abused child) ; KRS 625 .110 (an order or judgment involuntarily terminating parental rights) ; KRS 610 .130 (dispositional orders, as defined in KRS 610 .110, pertaining to status and public offenders) . The Commonwealth focuses on the language of KRS 610 .130, which provides : Unless otherwise exempted, an appeal to the circuit court may be taken as a matter of right from the juvenile session of the district court from dispositional orders under KRS 610 .110 . The appeal shall be taken in the manner provided in the Rules of Criminal Procedure, and the circuit court shall, in the best interest of the child, hear such cases expeditiously . The Commonwealth posits that the language of KRS 610 .130 is permissive rather than restrictive, and therefore an informal adjustment is a final disposition although not included within the dispositional orders under KRS 610 .110 . Because C .J . was brought before the juvenile court as a public offender, we agree that he would have fallen within the scope of KRS 610 .130 had the charges against him been adjudicated and subject to a dispositional order . However, by its definition, an informal adjustment is neither an adjudication nor disposition . Rather, KRS 600 .020(28) defines an "informal adjustment" as : [A]n agreement reached among the parties, with consultation, but not the consent, of the victim of the crime or other persons specified in KRS 610 .070 if the victim chooses not to or is unable to participate, after a petition has been filed, which is approved by the court, that the best interest of the child would be served without formal adjudication and disposition [ .] (Emphasis added) . Clearly, by its plain language, an informal adjustment is not "a final or appealable . . . order adjudicating all the rights of all the parties in an action or proceeding . . . ." CR 54 .01 . Looking beyond the technical language of the statute, we consider also the practical ramifications of our conclusion . As stated by the Court of Appeals in this case : An informal adjustment i s . . . a conditional agreement to abate the petition against the juvenile defendant . While the conditions are pending, the matter is simply in abeyance . If the juvenile satisfies the conditions, agreed to by the parties and approved by the court, then no further action is taken on the petition . At no point is there a final action by the district court ; there is rather a decision not to act . And there is no disposition (for which both adjudication and dispositional hearings are required), as is indicated by the fact that KRS 610 .110 (on juvenile dispositions) includes no reference to informal adjustments . See also Commonwealth v . S .M . , 769 A .2d 542, 544 (Pa . 2001) ("[i]f a trial court wishes to supervise a juvenile for a period of time prior to entering a final order, the Juvenile Act provides several alternatives by which to do so, including informal adjustment . . . .") . There is simply no language in Kentucky's Juvenile Code authorizing an appeal of an informal adjustment . Had the legislature intended to include such language, it certainly could have done so . By omitting informal adjustments from those matters that are appealable, the inference is that the legislature intended no appeal be allowed from an informal adjustment by the juvenile court . Bailey v . Reeves , 662 S .W .2d 832 (Ky . 1984) ; Smith v . Wedding , 303 S .W .2d 322 (Ky . 1957) . Because no appeal from an informal adjustment is available, the Commonwealth, if it desires review of such action, is required to bring an original proceeding in the circuit court in the nature of a writ of mandamus or prohibition . Commonwealth v . Williams , 995 S .W .2d 400 (Ky. App . 1999) ; SCR 1 .040(6) ; CR 81 . For the foregoing reasons, the decision of the Court of Appeals is affirmed . Lambert, C .J . ; Cooper, Graves, Scott, and Wintersheimer, JJ ., concur. Keller, J ., dissents by separate opinion . COUNSEL FOR APPELLANT : Gregory D . Stumbo Attorney General of Kentucky Teresa Young Jeanne Anderson Special Assistant Attorneys General 514 West Liberty Street Louisville, KY 40202 COUNSEL FOR APPELLEE : Daniel T .

An "informal adjustment" means an agreement reached among the parties , with consultation, but not the consent, of the victim of the crime or other persons specified in KRS 610 .070 if the victim chooses not to or is unable to participate, after a petition has been filed, which is approved by the court, that the best interest of the child would be served without formal adjudication or disposition .' The Commonwealth, undisputedly a party , did not agree to an informal adjustment ; therefore, it was not possible for the juvenile court to informally adjust C .J .'s case . Accordingly, by "adjusting" the case over the Commonwealth's objection, the juvenile court in effect entered a formal APPELLANT V. C .J ., A CHILD 1 KRS 600 .020(31) (emphasis added) . adjudication and disposition, and thus the Commonwealth had the right to appeal from the juvenile court's disposition of C .J .'s case . 2 2 KRS 23A .080(1 ) .

Tammy Cooper and her husband moved to their house on a cul-de-sac in a quiet La Porte, Texas neighborhood so they would have a safe place for their nine and six-year-old children to grow up.
And Cooper thought she was reaping the benefits of her suburban lifestyle as she sat on her lawn and watched her children play on their scooters. But this tranquility was interrupted when a police car pulled in front of her home and the officer approached her. Cooper asked him what he was here for. "We're here for you," he responded.

Center Now Assisting Self-Help Parties in Sixth Judicial District
Salt Lake City, Utah— The Utah State Courts has expanded the Self-Help Center services to the Sixth Judicial District. The Self-Help Center assists individuals who are representing themselves in court to better understand court processes. The Self-Help Center program was launched in December 2007 in the Second and Eighth Judicial Districts as part of a pilot project and expanded to the Seventh Judicial District in January 2009.
The center staff provides legal information via a toll-free telephone help line, text messaging, and e-mail. The toll-free phone number is 888-683-0009 and the text messaging number is 801-432-0898. The help line and text services are available Monday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Individuals can also receive assistance by e-mailing the center staff at firstname.lastname@example.com or by going to www.utcourts.gov/howto.
Self-Help Center services are available to anyone who has a case in the district, juvenile, and justice courts in the Sixth Judicial District, which includes Garfield, Kane, Piute, Sanpete, Sevier and Wayne counties. The center staff is available to provide information about what to do before going to court, how to prepare paperwork for court, how to represent oneself in court, and what to do with an order issued by the court. Assistance is available in all civil matters, including the areas of family law—such as adoption, paternity, divorce, custody and child support—as well as domestic violence, guardianship/conservatorship, probate, landlord-tenant disputes, and small claims cases. Center staff also refer individuals to appropriate legal services providers and other community resources.
"The Self-Help Center services are not a substitute for an attorney," explained Salt Lake City Justice Court Judge John Baxter. "Center staff can explain how the courts work and provide forms and referrals; however, the staff cannot provide legal advice." Judge Baxter chairs the court's Standing Committee on Resources for Self-represented Parties, which initiated the Self-Help Center pilot project.

With eight seniors to juggle in the line-up, coach Craig Krull started an out of the ordinary group on the floor consisting of all fourth year players. The set-up worked well out of the gate as Bellmont led 8-4 but the Knights maintained a pesky few points back the entire opening set frustrating the Squaws at times with their spirited effort on defense.

Consult spreadsheets/rawr frequently. Though strength is our main stat, in reality we end up using a lot of ap/agi gear due to poor stat allocation on a lot of plate dps gear.
e.g. the ap/agil Ashen Verdict ring is better than the newly released str version, and the leather melee dps frost emblem belt is superior to the plate dps belt.
I know this is a 101 but elitist jerks has as a great starter build for lvl 80, and for endgame you will want seal of command for multi-target situations while using vengeance for single-target.
Remember though that 90% of the benefit we glean from Agi/AP gear will be going away in the not-so-distant future. So if you're in a bleeding edge guild working on firsts, yeah, you'll want to get the Agi gear if it's better now. If not though, you're probably better off taking the Str gear that's almost as good now and will be hands down better very soon.

The way things are going, we will find much worse things in our meat than horse, says farmer Gareth Barlow
Throughout the course of history numerous armies have found their downfall to be stretched supply lines. Too long and complex to support the constant forward progression of the end user, they collapsed with often calamitous effects.
Findus, Tesco, Waitrose, Swiss Coop, Germany's Tengelmann and more have fallen foul of the horsemeat scandal that has gripped the continent. The only difference between the supermarkets and armies of yore is that we've moved on from using the horses for transport….
Eating horses isn't the big news here - I'm told horse is quite tasty - it's the element of surprise to know that we've been eating one of Red Rum's distant cousins. But why are we all so shocked? Is it surprising that supermarkets have stretched their supply lines so far that they can no longer vouch for its traceability or contents? No, not really.
Let me take you on a short but truly astounding journey. Findus 'beef' lasagnes are made in Luxembourg by the French company Comigel. They were supplied the meat by Spanghero whose parent company Poujol bought the frozen meat from a Cypriot trader. The Cypriot trader in turn acquired the meat off a Dutch trader from Draap Trading ltd that sources from Romanian abattoirs.
It's worth pointing out that Draap spelt backwards is the Dutch word for horse. However, as the supply chains are so long and the supermarkets don't really know who they're buying from no one noticed the elephant in the room.
Its little wonder that throughout a one and half thousand mile long supply chain involving five countries there's the capacity for something to go awry. But you can't blame the supermarkets as they weren't aware, you can't blame the government as they wouldn't have known, you can't blame Findus as they didn't have a clue. Because the system is flawed.
"Another scandal will arise because at the moment there's nothing to stop it."
Food products from European countries aren't routinely inspected on entry at British ports, the government hasn't tested for horsemeat in products since 2003 and the only traceable mark on a carcass is those placed on at the abattoir using a dye derived from grape skins.
At every turn throughout these supply chains there's the potential for clandestine meat operations to take place and evidently thrive.
The system needs changing, less reliance on spot checks and tip offs, fewer middle men trying to make another fast buck, less fingers in our pies.
The supermarkets would do well to take note of the independent butchers and small shops that know where their meat actually comes from, can tell you the ear tag number, have visited the farms. It's the only way to make the system foolproof and it isn't a hard thing to do.
What happens if the supermarkets don't change and the government doesn't sharpen up? Then another scandal will arise because at the moment there's nothing to stop it. Maybe next time it won't be horsemeat but something different, donkeys in donner kebabs, primates in our pie and peas or something even worse. The horsemeat scandal could be the tip of the iceberg.
That of course sounds somewhat far fetched, but so would the news of beef burgers containing horse. Of course it would, that's if it wasn't true.
