I am looking for an area rug to go in our living room. We have hardwood floors and we have an eight month old baby so we would like a little softer are for him to play and crawl around. Some of the reviews mention that this rug sheds. My concern here is that the baby could get pieces in his mouth. Does it really shed abundantly for this to occur? Also, being wool, is it rough in texture or does it have a soft feel?
This rug is really pretty, thick, and plush. It also doesn't shed much at all. The one drawback is that it's much darker than it appears on the screen (and yes, I know that monitors vary, but this is pretty significant)....

Pretty but dark
This rug is really pretty, thick, and plush. It also doesn't shed much at all. The one drawback is that it's much darker than it appears on the screen (and yes, I know that monitors vary, but this is pretty significant).Read More
Very Nice Rug
The colors are a more jewel toned and very nice. The pile is nice and thick, we are using a rug pad with this rug, but the pile is surprisingly high and nice on it's own. FYI - the grey is more of a blueish cast than what you would expect as a grey, it worked for us, this was also listed in previous reviews and I was happy to know that before we ordered it, so thanks previous purchasers.Read More
Beautiful carpet
It was even more beautiful in person. The only downside was the amount of fiber/dust in the carpet. I have vacuumed it several times and it continues to fill my canister.Read More
Safavieh medallion rug
Nice rich colors -Beautiful rug! It does shed but it's manageable. This is actually the second time I purchased this rug. My new puppy ate holes in the first one but the rug is so perfect for my dining room that I was happy to be able to get it again.Read More
Love it!
So happy with this purchase I've decided to buy another one. I put it in my dining room. Been looking for something to match my decor. Great quality. Sheds a bit...but no big deal. Most wool rugs do.Read More

Lovely patterned rug
Although the write-up said the colors were on a tan background, the photo looked a lot more gold to me. The actual color reminds me of the mustard/relish blend -- sort of a greeny gold, not particularly attractive. But the medallion is beautifully done! And the gray is really more of a slate blue, with the red being more burgundy. There is a little moss green in it, too. Still, a nice rug that should hide dirt well and afford the opportunity to change out colors as the years go by.Read More
Medallion pattern
I love this rug! It is so striking. The only difference in the colors stated in the description was instead of gray accents, it is more blue. This wasn't a problem, but the color is certainly more blue than gray. Otherwise, I highly recommend it!Read More
Bold Rug
Rug is far bolder than pictured. The grey us actually more of a turquoise or teal. if you're looking for a subtle rug that will blend, this is not the rug. The pattern is also very bold and much more graphic in person. Due to this, we will be returning this rug.Read More
Excellent Area Rug
My wife and I purchased this for our great room. It was excellent quality for the price. Much cheaper than furniture stores or the home centers we looked at. One note of caution, it is real wool. It does "shed" quite a bit. It still does 16 months later after we purchased it. From doing research this is natural for wool rugs. It can fill the canister up on the vacuum cleaner. It you vacuum every few days there are less wool fibers but if you let it go for a week or two it will fill up the canister on the vacuum. The rug still looks excellent though. Deep vibrant color. The color "renews" as it sheds old fibers. This is just something that seems to occur with wool rugs. So if you are allergic or do not want the "fuzz bunnies" then stick with synthetic area rugs. We love it though!Read More
Beautiful Rug and great quality...
Everything about this rug is excellent. The only thing is, in the picture it looks like one of the colors is dark brown but it is not. It is actually a rust color. But that was ok, it is still a great deal for the price and quality. Other rugs of this caliber that I look at was twice the price, Thank you Overstock.Read More
Questions & Answers
Hello TLS, the rug has a soft underfoot and will shed but decrease over time with regular vacuuming. If you are concerned about shedding, we do not recommend wool rugs. Wool rugs will naturally shed. Thanks for shopping with us!

Just EB here as well. I thought there was something wrong with my computer.

National Telstra (and it's wholesalers) outage. Internationally hosted websites are inaccessible.
Optus and it's piggybackers should be working fine as they have their own internet backbone.

In 2012, with a donation of $4 million the Milan Ilich Arthritis Research Centre was established. This gift, coupled with five years of rent-free office space from Progressive Construction, has provided ARC a secure base from which to advance our world class research and encourage other like-minded donors to follow their lead.
Therefore, it was with great honour that ARC, in partnership with the Minister of Health, presented Maureen Ilich with the ARC Champion Award. As it was Milan and Maureen's intention that we use their donation to inspire others to give, it seemed only fitting that Maureen Ilich be given this award at the announcement to mark the Province of British Columbia's $3 million commitment to advancing arthritis research.
The Arthritis Research Centre of Canada is incredibly proud to be able to acknowledge Maureen Ilich with our most prestigious award.

I know this has been asked repeatedly and answered even more times, but none of those worked for me. I've installed 4 plugins and none work... I've tried all of the code suggested and none work. Sorry for being blunt, but reading through all of those posts (and there were a lot!) people started getting rude because the same question was being repeated. I'm scared to keep downloading plugins because I do not want to mess up my page! My question is:
How do I have a link on my WordPress page open up into a smaller window? Not a new tab. I've tried all of the "target=....." and NONE work!!
The page I am trying to fix is: http://www.website-startup.com
As an EXAMPLE:
If you scroll down just a tad, under the video is a heading: User-Friendly CP
There is a link in the first sentence: Control Panel
Say, just for example, I would like that link to open up into a smaller window with my original page behind it. How can I do this?
If you suggest a plugin, please check to see if it compatible with WP 3.6.1 because the ones that were suggested in other posts were only compatible with 3.5.2 and the ones that claimed to be compatible with 3.6.1 did not work and I would rather not install any more plugins that do not work.
I would GREATLY appreciate any suggestions or any code that you have to offer. Please understand that I am not very good at coding, I only know what I have researched and am self-taught. I beg you to forgive my ignorance.
Anyone who provides a working solution, I will gladly wrestle an alligator diagnosed with lockjaw for your amusement! :-)

Here's the deal. I'm trying to write an arkanoid clone game and the thing is that I need a window menu like you get in pyGTK. For example File->(Open/Save/Exit) .. something like that and opening an "about" context where the author should be written.
I'm already using pyGame for writting the game logic. I've tried pgu to write the GUI but that doesn't help me, altough it has those menu elements I'm taking about, you can't include the screen of the game in it's container.
Does anybody know how to include such window menus with the usage of pyGame ?

The change in the structure resulted in a reduction in medium range order (MRO) characterized using fluctuation electron microscopy. The pulsed laser crystallization kinetics of the as-deposited versus irradiated materials were investigated using the dynamic transmission electron microscope operated in the multi-frame movie mode. The propagation rate of the crystallization front for the irradiated material was lower; the changes were correlated to the MRO difference and formation of a thin liquid layer during crystallization.

Most bipedal robots are either versatile and static or dynamic and limited to specific gaits. Over the last twenty years the bio-inspired spring mass model became a versatile template for bipedal walking and running gaits with many studies motivated by its high potential for versatile robot locomotion. However the characteristic dynamics have not yet been demonstrated with human size robots. We show that we can reproduce the dynamics of this versatile template for locomotion in a human-size biped utilizing its specifically designed natural dynamics. Spring mass walking with characteristic double humped force profiles is demonstrated over a range of speeds. Using the same controller, the robot exhibits grounded running, walks over steps, and in an natural outdoor environment. The robot is an important step towards bipedal machines capable to compete with animals in terms of efficiency, robustness and versatility and enables a better understanding of fundamental biological movement principles.

The High Performance Research Reactor Fuel Development (HPPRFD) program is responsible for developing low enriched uranium (LEU) fuel substitutes for high performance reactors fueled with highly enriched uranium (HEU) that have not yet been converted to LEU. The uranium-molybdenum (U-Mo) fuel system was selected for this effort. In this study, fission gas pore segmentation was performed on U-7wt%Mo dispersion fuel samples at three separate fission densities using an automated image processing interface developed in MATLAB. Pore size distributions were attained that showed both expected and unexpected fission gas behavior. In general, it proved challenging to identify any dominant trends when comparing fission bubble data across samples from different fuel plates due to varying compositions and fabrication techniques. The results exhibited fair agreement with the fission density vs. porosity correlation developed by the Russian reactor conversion program.

These flames are important tools to aid the understanding of secondary reaction zones that may form in gas turbine engines when film-cooling air reacts with fuel-rich packets from the combustor. For the experiments performed in the present study, exhaust from a propane–air well-stirred reactor is channeled to a test section where three different film-cooling geometries are used to create inverse diffusion flames: (1) a single row of normal cooling holes, (2) a slot cut at an angle of 30° with respect to the wall, and (3) an 5 × 11 array of cooling holes. It is found that CO and H₂ concentrations of a few percent can lead to secondary reaction zones and that different cooling-hole geometries can produce dramatically different secondary reaction-zone shapes. These secondary reaction zone flames have Damköhler numbers greater than unity and are diffusion limited. The PLIF measurements show regions where CO is consumed, OH produced, and the temperature perturbed. For film-cooling flows that remain attached to the wall, the secondary reaction zone is also close to the wall and can cover a relatively long axial length. For film-cooling flows that separate from the wall, the secondary reaction zones protrude farther into the cross flow then quickly mix with the cross flow. By comparing the CO, OH, and temperature fields, three characteristic regions of flows with secondary reaction zones are identified: the injection region where cooling air displaces the vitiated cross flow, the secondary reaction zone region, and the mix-out region where all of the oxygen has been consumed and mixing with the vitiated cross flow controls the local composition and temperature.

La Redoute is the French equivalent of H&M, featuring the latest styles and exclusive bridgelines from designers like Jean Paul Gaultier (of Madonna cone breast fame) and Vanessa Bruno at prices that normal people can actually afford.
The Jean Paul Gaultier corset dress is so hot, that people will swear you picked it up on your last trip to Paris. Prior to discovering La Redoute, the only thing I could afford from Cacharel was their Anais Anais perfume. Thanks to the online fashion mecca, I can actually purchase a bag from the designer without having to eat ramen noodles for next 3 months.

Customer review by PixTakerGirl
I needed a tripod for occasional use and this will work just fine. The legs are lightweight aluminum and move easily. The two main drawbacks are the center extendable pole which tends to lean a bit and is a bit wobbly and the tilt pan (think that is the right term) that also tends to lean and is hard to even out. My 10x zoom camera is larger than a pocket camera but much smaller than a SLR and it is at the top end of the weight limit for the screw adjustments to hold steady. I only paid $11 for the tripod so for the money I can make it work, but if I become more serious about photography this will definitly get replaced. I also think the cheap plastic materials may break easily and don't have high hopes for it lasting long. Guess you get what you pay for. Sumamry: For very gentle, occasional use with light camera this will fit the bill. Anything more and you may want to invest in a higher quality tripod.

- July 22 – Battle of Dazimon: Caliph Al-Mu'tasim launches a major punitive expedition against the Byzantine Empire, targeting the two major Byzantine fortress cities of central Anatolia, Ancyra and Amorium. He mobilishes a vast army (80,000 men) at Tarsus, which is divided into two main forces. The northern force, under commander Al-Afshin, invades the Armeniac Theme from the region of Melitene, joining up with the forces of the city's emir, Umar al-Aqta. The southern, main force, under Al-Mu'tasim, passes the Cilician Gates into Cappadocia. Emperor Theophilos attacks the Abbasids, inflicting 3,000 casualties but is later heavily defeated by a counter-attack of 10,000 Turkish horse archers. Theophilos with his guard are encircled, and barely manage to break through and escape.[11][12][13]

manekato posted a topic in Ford Fiesta ClubHi all, I'm a newbie here and I've just collected my new Fiesta Zetec with bluetooth/USB. My current phone isn't compatible, but I'm due to upgrade next week. I just wondered if anyone has been using the Nokia 6600 slide with the car and if it's all OK? The Ford Connectivity list shows the 6500 slide as being compatible and I'm assuming the 6600 will be the same. Just wanted to find out before I commit to an 18-month contract! Thanks, Kirsty x

Interactive Spaces Lab
The aesthetics of the installation emphasizes the gap between the cold winter and the interactive and playful space, which the installation provides.
The objective for making this installation was among others to bring people together in the public outdoor space, during the time of the year where the urban space usually is left void. The SwingScape was designed and realized in relation to a winter festival in February 2010 in Roskilde, Denmark. With the overarching theme "light and sound".
This provided us with a range of unsolved questions. How can we make an active substitute to e.g. ice skating in February? How can we make a collaborative installation, which brings to citizens together? How can we unite audio and visual experience in an outdoor environment?
The swing-installation consists of 2 zones, which are illuminated by different colors when it swings. The lightning in this setup plays a very important role, being the colorful living scenery in an overall gray and cold city. At the same time each zone activates a part of a larger sound universe. In the blue zone varying beats are activated and in the green zone melodies are activated.
