Report: Iraqi Insurgency Gaining Confidence
A review of Web sites, publications and videos associated with the Iraqi insurgency finds that the movement has gained cohesion and confidence, according to the International Crisis Group.
The ICG, a nonprofit organization focused on preventing and resolving deadly conflicts, came to its conclusions after a sweeping review of public communications from insurgent groups between mid-2003 and January 2006. The ICG looked only at communications from groups that claimed responsibility for attacks in Iraq.
The ICG report, titled "In Their Own Words: Reading the Iraqi Insurgency," was released Wednesday.
Robert Malley, the ICG's Middle East and North Africa program director, talks with Steve Inskeep about his group's findings and recommendations.
Insurgency Video
This English-language video collected by the International Crisis Group is part of the insurgency's effort to sway public opinion in Iraq and abroad.
Warning: Video contains images some may find disturbing.
In Their Own Words: Reading the Iraqi Insurgency
Excerpt of the Executive Summary:
In Iraq, the U.S. fights an enemy it hardly knows. Its descriptions have relied on gross approximations and crude categories (Saddamists, Islamo-fascists and the like) that bear only passing resemblance to reality. This report, based on close analysis of the insurgents' own discourse, reveals relatively few groups, less divided between nationalists and foreign jihadis than assumed, whose strategy and tactics have evolved (in response to U.S. actions and to maximise acceptance by Sunni Arabs), and whose confidence in defeating the occupation is rising. An anti-insurgency approach primarily focused on reducing the insurgents' perceived legitimacy — rather than achieving their military destruction, decapitation and dislocation — is far more likely to succeed.
Failure to sufficiently take into account what the insurgents are saying is puzzling and, from Washington's perspective, counter-productive. Abundant material — both undervalued and underutilised — is available from insurgent websites, internet chat, videos, tapes and leaflets. Over the past two years such communication has assumed more importance, both among insurgent groups and between groups and their networks of supporters or sympathizers. This report, the first exhaustive analysis of the organized armed opposition's discourse, seeks to fill the gap, and the lessons are sobering.
Textual analysis has its limitations. The information by definition sheds light only on those who choose to speak, and only about that which they discuss in public. Wartime communication is part information, part propaganda; insurgents highlight their nobleness, tactical exploits and ingenuity while downplaying brutality and setbacks. Without knowing more of the groups' inner-workings, it is hazardous to speculate on the reasons behind specific communications.
Still, the discourse offers a window into the insurgency. It tells us about themes insurgents consider best to mobilise activists or legitimise actions, and gives us information on internal debates and levels of coordination, and about shifts in tactics and strategy. This war, U.S. officials concede, will be won as much in the court of public opinion as on any battlefield. The U.S. administration faces an increasingly skeptical domestic audience; Iraq's authorities suffer from a serious credibility deficit at home; and insurgents must contend with accusations of sectarianism and barbaric violence. For the U.S. to ignore, or fail to fully take into account, the insurgents' discourse — at a time when they are paying close attention to what Washington is saying — is to wage the struggle with one hand tied behind its back.

Las Brisas Southwest Steakhouse Ratings and Reviews

I loved the food. Unfortunately, it feels like everytime I have been here, my husband and I get looked down upon for being a younger couple. It seemed like our waiter did not want to spend as much time at our table as his other tables. Other than that, the experience was great.

We went to celebrate our daughter's new job. I unfortunately had a fractured wrist and was in a cast. Tucker was AWESOME!!!! I couldn't have asked for a better waiter! When our meals arrived, he took the initiative to ask if he could cut my filet up for me! How awesome to have someone be observant to the situation and do whatever he could to make it enjoyable for me as well.
Thank you Tucker!!!!

The best steaks in Lubbock.
Anyone that says that you can get a steak that is just as good at the big chain steakhouses should not be taken seriously. There is no comparison.
Our steaks were cooked to perfection and our server was great. We started off with a cup of lobster bisque which was outstanding. I ordered a medium rare ribeye and 4oz lobster serve red with a white truffle sauce and it was amazing. My wife ordered a filet cooked medium and really enjoyed it as well. We ended with bananas foster which was cooked table side and prompted the couple next to us to order the same thing.
I highly recommend Las Brisas and will be returning in the future.
I had read the reviews on this restaurant and was hesitant that they could all be 'outstanding', but this restaurant warrants more than 5 stars. It is one of the best restaurants we have ever visited!!! The food was incredible - the steaks cooked to perfection and the entire staff was exceptional from my initial phone call to make the reservation to the moment we left the restaurant after this amazing experience. Congratulations to the chef, management and staff.
Great Steak
My wife and you always heard great things about Las Brisas. After 7 years of hearing about it we decided to check it out. We ordered the portobello mushrooms with crab meat for an appetizer. It was delicious. We both ordered the rib eye. It was one of the best steaks I have ever had. It was so good! To top everything off we had the molten brownie. We ate too much but it was all worth it.
We had a great experience.
Our table was next to where they kept al ...
Our table was next to where they kept all of the plates and silverware. There was a lot of noise being generated by the servers. There was not a full menu due to graduations going on so it was disappointing. The cocktails we ordered had very little if any alcohol in them. Steak had a very good flavor and was piping hot.
This was our first time visiting Lubbock and are last time to visit Las Brisas.
Worth the Trip
It took a while, but we finally found an excellent restaurant in Lubbock. It ha been easy to find Tex Mex or BBQ, but not a high end special occasion dining spot until now. We visit Lubbock every so often and we were thrilled to have fount Las Brisas.
The chicken and salmon dishes were great ...
The chicken and salmon dishes were great. However, the steak was not a quality piece of beef nor did it have a tempting flavor. Medium well order was perfect....too bad that the meat. I finally received my imitation sugar for the tea as we were leaving.
Loved it! Service was outstanding!
We celebrated our son's birthday and the whole experience was great. The steaks and the salmon were cooked perfectly. Everyone at the table loved the lobster mac and cheese! Will definitely return to this restaurant. Our server really made the evening perfect!
Great Experience!
My wife and I have spent Valentine Day the last two years having lunch at Las Brisas celebrating our anniversary. The food is excellent as well as the service! We would recommend it to everyone. Since we live 45 miles out of Lubbock, eating at the noontime meal is the best choice for us. As we are both in our 70's, a noon meal works best for us. So glad you offer that option, as a noon meal isn't as crowded with long waiting times. We will be back! Thank you for making our day special!
Great versatile dining experience.
Our waiter was exceptional, checking on my wife and I. We were very pleased with him and the food and the atmosphere. I have OXY customers and to bring them to Las Brisas would be an excellent choice for entertainment, and a very romantic occasion for my wife.
Hard to justify the expense.
Large, well decorated restaurant with relatively good ambiance. Food was good but not outstanding. Enjoyed a ribeye, but the flavor of the meat was masked by far too much black pepper. My wife had a "surf and turf" seafood dish which was very enjoyable. Both meals were more than $40, and the wine by-the-glass averaged more than $5 an ounce and up. Throw in a $15 appetizer and this approaches $70 a person before tax and tip, which normally wouldn't overly upset me for an upscale restaurant, except for the following which detract from that assumption of quality: First, service was relatively slow. Although our waiter was attentive when present, he seemed to be overextended and the average attention throughout our meal was low. Our wine took probably close to 15 minutes to arrive, our appetizer another 10, and our entrees weren't delivered until probably 35 minutes after ordering. In an intimate, relaxed setting, and had the wine and appetizer been available earlier this would have been fine, but was less so in this case. Second, the restaurant is not formatted for conversation, as both of the primary rooms are large, high ceilinged affairs with a very high ambient noise level, even at probably 75% occupancy as it was when were there. This made it difficult to have conversation while awaiting food, etc..
Overall I would have given much higher ratings if the cost had been 75% of what we were charged, but at a restaurant aspiring to those prices I want food, environment, and service to be commensurate, and they clearly weren't. With that said, given the traffic they were getting I may be of the minority opinion in this case.
Jay made the experience great!
This was my second trip to Las Brisas and I enjoyed it again. This evening was made better not only because of my company but Jay our server was amazing. He made it special for us as well with his help navigating the menu and his overall attitude.
Excellent selection
We moved to Lubbock about one and one half years ago and have sampled regularly the restaurants in the area. We decided to return to Las Brisas by ourselves after having been there with a group of friends. The steaks were excellent and the apple dumpling desert superb. Asparagus as the regular vegetable nicely complemented an additional order of mushrooms. Although the room was crowded, it had a romantic feel and flavor. Clearly a great place for Lubbock or anywhere else for that matter. When we next visit, sitting outside to view the waterfall will be an additional treat.
Lubbock's best...
A true foodie, I find most of Lubbock's "fine dining" options tend to overwork their ingredients and miss the mark. We stuck to simple dishes at Las Brisas: Shrimp Cocktail, Filet Mignon, risotto, truffled mashed potatoes. Each was excellent. But, there were a few missteps, too:
- The menu doesn't mention that steaks are pepper-crusted; I prefer mine unadorned.
- I ordered my filet MEDIUM, but it arrived beyond rare, solid JELLY on the inside.
- My party had finished their meals by the time mine returned, and it was WELL DONE at that point.
So, five stars for flavor, one star for execution.
Our waiter scored points by digging up a great wine that wasn't on the menu, but he didn't offer compensation for the steak mishap. Disappointing.
Reservation Not Helpful
We made a reservation to entertain some out of town business colleagues. We normally take them to a private club to entertain and thought we would try something new. We arrived and were told the party before us was still seated at the table we were to be assigned. We were asked if we wanted to eat in the bar or just wait there for the table to become available. We waited in the bar/lounge area and continued to ask about the availability of our table. We noticed other parties coming in and being escorted to tables that were similar in party size if not the same size. We questioned several times and finally after over an hour we were seated at our table for dinner. We will take them elsewhere next time.
Las Brisas is a good choice
Being from Houston I guess that my expectations of a high end steak house were more than Las Brisas delivered. The food was good but it could have been much better with only a little more effort.
Their version of Steak Diane is very unique and not at all what I expected. It was good just not any where near the traditional serving of that dish.
Sides and Salads were awesome.
Dessert was Carrot cake which was a huge disappointment.
The service was quite good and the place was very clean.
My experience there was good and I would go back

Apple's iPad now on sale from Verizon and AT&TApple on Thursday began selling the iPad through the two largest wireless carriers in the U.S. — Verizon and AT&T — as retail expansion of the touchscreen tablet before the holidays continues.
The Oct. 28 launch was announced earlier this month, and both companies will sell the product in their brick-and-mortar retail stores starting today. AT&T will sell all three iPad Wi-Fi + 3G models at their standard pricing, while Verizon will sell the iPad with Wi-Fi and a MiFi 2200 Intelligent Mobile Hotspot router at the same price.
AT&T will offer data plans at $14.99 for 250MB per month, and $25 per month for 2GB of data with no term contract. Those plans also include unlimited access to AT&T's more than 23,000 domestic Wi-Fi Hot Spots. The iPads sell for $629 for 16GB, $729 for 32GB, and $829 for 64GB.
On Verizon, iPad customers will be able to buy 1GB of data for $20 per month, 3GB for $35, or a $50-per-month plan that gets 5GB of data. Unlike the iPad AT&T will sell, Verizon's iPad does not have built-in 3G and will require use of the MiFi mobile router for non-Wi-Fi Internet connections.
The iPad's availability at AT&T was expected, as the company has been the exclusive wireless carrier of the iPhone in the U.S. since Apple's handset launched in 2007. But the deal with Verizon came as a surprise, as the largest wireless carrier in the U.S. has been rumored to partner with Apple for the iPhone for years, but a deal has never come to be.
Verizon's sale of the iPad for the holiday season has helped to fuel rumors that the carrier will begin offering a CDMA version of the iPhone compatible with its network starting in early 2011.
Apple had quickly expanded the retail presence of the iPad in time for the holidays. On Oct. 15, the device went on sale at Walmart, while Target and Amazon started their sales on Oct 3.. Best Buy expanded sales to all of their retail stores on Sept. 26.
On Topic: AT&T

Sell Euro for Serb Dinar at Spot Levels, Societe Generale Says
The outlook for the Serbian dinar is improving and the currency is likely to continue appreciating against the euro, Societe Generale said.
"The coalition government has been delivering a tough policy message since being sworn-in in July, which has been well received," SocGen analyst Guillaume Salomon wrote in a note to clients today, issuing a "sell" recommendation at 114.00 dinars to the euro. Salomon set a target of 108.00 to the euro and a stop-loss level of 117.20.
The currency traded at 113.9854 at 4:59 p.m. in Belgrade, rising above 114 for the first time since mid-May, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Central bank Vice-Governor Veselin Pjescic said today the dinar has stabilized since June because of increases in interest rates, changes to reserve requirement rules to drain dinar liquidity and renewed lending subsidies for liquidity-stricken companies.

The concept of having a bunch of 'hookable' options is great, however, the code in use short-circuits the filters and actions instead of letting them complete as expected. For example if you hook 'the_content' you do not actually display the_content but short circuit to call your hook which does not actually call the original hook. This approach just does not work with modern themes.
2.0.2 was better and if you added in a way to 'hook' more actions/filters via a tab-slide specific action that would be a much better approach in my mind as well as a way to remove them via an action.
Best regards,

Preliminary findings of Intelligent Spas' current round of Spa Benchmark Surveys have identified the majority of spa owners and managers are forecasting positive growth in both revenue and spa visits for calendar years 2008 and 2009. This optimism indicates many spa managers believe the spa industry may be protected to some extent from the negative affects of the current economic climate, as spa consumers continue to demand relaxing spa and wellness services despite potential falls in their discretionary spending, coupled with evidence that rationalisation has already occurred in some spa markets.
In June 2008, Intelligent Spas reported 28 spa businesses in Australia had closed down and 10 businesses stopped offering spa treatments in the preceding 18 month period. This indicated some rationalisation within the market place even though the overall number of spas grew by 152% over the previous five years. Similarly Asia Pacific's largest spa market, Thailand also experienced over 25 spa closures amongst overall strong growth.
This research shows spas are not immune to changes in supply and demand as market places evolve. Over the last five years, although the spa industry has experienced overall strong growth, some rationalisation occurred before the credit crisis began and further rationalisation is likely to occur as the global economy experiences further pressures. This is likely to reduce the timeframe for rationalisation in young spa markets such as Cambodia, which have yet to experience downturn, plus bring uncertainty to spa markets with multiple new developments in the pipeline.

- Map staffing levels against current and forecast demand to manage labour costs and ensure employees are productive. If you cannot, or decide not to reduce the number of staff to match reduced demand, keep idle employees productive with training and special projects and encourage them to take annual leave owing.
- Review the financial reports to identify areas the spa could reduce costs and improve profitability.
- Review industry benchmarks to identify areas in which the spa is performing above and below the local industry average. Initiate activities to improve the spa's weakness and maintain the spa's strengths.
- Modify marketing collateral to adapt to consumer sentiment, for example, emphasise spa treatments and services which aid stress-relief if it is relevant to your local community.
- Raise the awareness of therapeutic services offered to encourage consumers to maintain or increase spending on therapeutic treatments whilst they may reduce discretionary spending on pampering.
- Ensure treatment prices remains competitive as the local market changes. Consider adding more value to establish a competitive point of difference, rather than automatically discounting standard treatments and products.
- Review and update standard operating procedures to minimise hidden costs associated with unnecessary repetition, inefficient activities, product and supplies wastage and outdated policies.
- Ensure there are no gaps in procedures, particularly where staff numbers are reduced, to minimise risk to clients, employees and property which could result in legal action.
- Confirm spa employees are implementing service standards correctly so guest satisfaction is maximised to retain existing customers and encourage free, positive word-of-mouth advertising to generate new clients.

Multiple User VPN
I am looking for a cheap or free solution to be able to connect multiple people via VPN to a host computer. Each person should not be able to see what the others are doing while logged in. Is this possible and if so where do I start my hunt?
Update: I was not sure what server, was just thinking of doing it on say a win7 desktop. Just looking into having 2-3 users have access to a multi-user program without each seeing each other. Basically having separate desktop enviroments
Basically, I know nothing and want to know if this is a possibility for me. lol

John E. Donahue received his M.D. from Tufts University in 1992. He trained in neurology at Tufts-New England Medical Center and in neuropathology at Rhode Island Hospital. After spending four years at the New Jersey Neuroscience Institute as Director of Neuropathology, he returned to RIH/Brown Medical School in 2003 to practice clinical neuropathology and pursue academic research in neurodegenerative diseases (e.g. Alzheimer's disease) and the blood-brain barrier. Being both a neurologist and neuropathologist enables him to bring a clinical perspective to neuropathology material and an underlying pathologic understanding to clinical areas. Translational research in neurodegenerative diseases is ideally-suited for a neurologist-neuropathologist like him. This is a very rare combination in the 21st century; most newly-trained neuropathologists are trained in general anatomic and surgical pathology, rather than neurology.

Cellular field potential includes local field potential (LFP, 0.1 Hz–200 Hz) and spike potential (SP, 200 Hz–10 kHz). In physiological studies of the brain, SP signal has been the focus. Various circuits have been reported to acquire SP signals in brain–machine interface (BMI) systems over the years. Recent study shows that the LFP signal plays important roles in modulating many profound neuronal mechanisms in the brain. It is important for new BMI design to record the dual-band signal accurately, which demands acquisition circuits to have low noise and good linearity in both bands. In this paper, we report the design of a dual-band acquisition integrated circuit (IC) for microelectrode recording. The novel design uses a continuous- time (CT) front-end with chopping to suppress the noise, and a discrete-time (DT) back-end to achieve good linearity. A prototype monolithic acquisition IC is fabricated in a 0.35

Football is a game of cliches, and I believe in every one of them.

Truth is tough. It will not break, like a bubble, at a touch; nay, you may kick it about all day, like a football, and it will be round and full at evening.

The main reason for doing it now . . . had more to do with the players. This is a great group. This particular group has really worked hard to prepare themselves. And we have a chance to have a good football team.
LaVell Edwards (1931 -)
Source: Press conference at BYU, September 1, 2000, announcing his retirement after the 2000 season.
Reminiscing: No one knows . . . until you live it, to be there, to tee it up each week, to get yourself ready, the players and whatever else. . . . I think it's a very, very difficult, tough and demanding job. And to be able to, particularly, stay at the level of expertise that we have over the years. Along with the fact that we have made football a presence at BYU. I think those are the things that are about as satisfying as anything that has happened. Then, of course, the players. . . . I think the thing that will be the most difficult is leaving the relationships and the involvement.
Steve Young is one of the most gifted young men that I have ever known. He is fast, strong, big, handsome, ... and rich. It is easy for us to look at Steve and say, "With all those attributes, you ought to be great." However, it is more than his physical attributes that have made him great; it is the way he thinks! When Steve was a junior and was starting his first season as our quarterback, we had one of the greatest opportunities presented to us in our football program at BYU. We were scheduled to play Herschel Walker and the University of Georgia, the defending national champions. We worked very hard and felt we had a chance to beat them if we played our very best and did not make mistakes. Before 82,000 fans, and on a "rainy day in Georgia," Steve threw five interceptions in the first half of the game-more than he would normally throw in five games! In spite of the interceptions and two missed field goal attempts, we were still tied 7-7 at halftime. Going into the dressing room, I thought to myself that I must talk to Steve and assure him that everything would be fine. The rain, the crowd, the tipped balls, etc.-I had all the excuses ready for throwing five interceptions in one half. I started explaining this to Steve and before I could finish, Steve stopped me, looked at me as if I was crazy, and said, "Hey coach, there's no problem. I can hardly wait to get back out there. We're going to win." I found myself thinking, "What do you mean there's no problem, you dummy. You have just thrown five interceptions!" It's the way he thinks. That's what has made him what he is and enabled him to accomplish what he has done. As you know, this was just the start of a career that would see him become one of the finest quarterbacks to play the game of college football.

I feel that the progress I have made as a coach, as well as a person, is a direct result of the growth that I have made through my Church callings. I had the opportunity to serve as a bishop in a campus ward while I was still an assistant coach. When I was appointed head football coach in 1972, I decided to approach my role as a coach much the same as I did as a bishop, delegating responsibility to my assistants, putting responsibility on the players for self-improvement in all aspects of their lives, and using personal interviews with players to try to give positive reinforcement and encouragement so that they might do their very best and reach their full potential, both on and off the field.
Coming out of BYU's football spring, 1999, practice: We might have a chance to be pretty good.

When we have adversity we oftentimes tend to look around and think that we're the Lone Ranger. We tend to believe that we're the only one who has problems. And we always look around and see others who are more talented, taller, smarter, handsomer, or faster. I can assure you, everyone has problems-even football coaches. The ability we have to handle this adversity will determine the degree of success that we will have in life.

Good Job, Bub!
Vice has posted the entirety of Lil' Bub and Friendz, a movie about Lil' Bub and the culture and business of online celebrity cats and memes.
At times like this, when all is frenzied, when people are screaming about Bush this and Gore that and Nader Nader Nader!, when people are still killing each other in the Middle East, when life just seems gray and miserable and bland, it's nice to remember the one thing in life that makes it all better: "Bob".

The sheriff's office says Derek Harrison was in a canoe with other people ferrying them to the sandbar where the group was drinking around midnight Saturday.
The canoe took on water, spilling three people into a section of fast-moving water near the Bob Herman Wildlife Park. Deputies responded around 12:30 Sunday to a report of a drowning.
Harrison's body was found downstream of the sandbar by search and rescue teams Sunday afternoon.
Harrison was a talented basketball player and youth couch with a promising career at his grandfather's car dealership, family members said.
The office says Harrison was reportedly intoxicated during the accident and that no one on the canoe was wearing a floatation device.

Chow A Post About Two Things I Love
posted by April 12 at 11:40 AMon
First of all, I love this story about JoAnna's Soul Cafe by Angela Garbes that is in today's paper. I have a huuuuge hankering for catfish now, which will hopefully be sated this weekend.
Secondly, I haven't been to a county fair in years, and I was thinking about it yesterday. Magically, this morning, this email arrived in my inbox:
The King County Fair will celebrate 145 years of family fun in July 2007! Mark your calendars for July 18-22, and set your sights on the King County Fair at the Enumclaw Expo Center (formerly the King County Fairgrounds), where you will find five days of non-stop entertainment, a brand new carnival, fair food, games, animals, exhibits, vendors and more! General admission prices are $8 for adults, $6 for children ages 6-12, and $6 for seniors 62 and over. Access to all of the stage entertainment is included with the price of admission.
What a glorious day!

AT&T customers looking for a durable and high-end smartphone can't go wrong with the Galaxy S7 Active.
Pricing not available
Light users will do fine with Samsung's entry-level Galaxy J3, but you'll want a higher-powered phone if you plan to keep it around for two years or more.
Pricing not available
Samsung builds a lot of value into the Galaxy TabPro S, including a keyboard cover and advanced display in a very slim Windows tablet.
The fast, powerful, beautiful Galaxy S7 phone is 2016's all-around phone to beat.
The gorgeous Galaxy S7 Edge makes the best Android phone that much better.
If you simply can't stand how big phones have become, the 2016 Samsung Galaxy A3 may be just the ticket.
Pricing not available
If you like your phone big, then the new A7 with its 5.5-inch display probably won't disappoint.
Pricing not available
The Momma Bear in Samsung's new Galaxy A range for 2016, the A5 takes a balanced approach with a 5.2-inch screen suitable for folks who want their phone "just right."
If the high price doesn't scare you off, the Samsung Galaxy View's large size and practical interface makes for a good alternative to a TV, if not a replacement.

"History, industry and water" Top 5 Page for this destination Västerĺs by Sjalen
Västerĺs Travel Guide: 65 reviews and 114 photos
Västerĺs, these days mainly famous for being one of Ryanair's "Stockholm" airports, is a great place for a daytrip - even more if you want to explore the surroundings which are full of viking remains, classic castles and industrial heritages.
To us Swedes, it is mainly famous for being the home of ASEA, which has since merged with a Swiss firm to form ABB. This is a city of train- and power station making. It has suffered a lot in later years and the huge ASEA complex by the Central station is empty apart from for a few new, small companies which have moved in. However, it still has a feeling of history in its Old Town and the position by the huge Lake Mälaren means there is plenty to escape to on a sunny day!
- Pros:lakeside position, fascinating countryside
- Cons:public drunkeness in parks
- In a nutshell:Vikings and trains

1352 Drake Drive, Central Davis, Davis
Commute to Downtown Davis
This apartment is in the Central Davis neighborhood in Davis. Nearby parks include Sycamore Park, Sycamore Park and Redwood Park.
1352 Drake Drive has a Walk Score of 61 out of 100. This location is Somewhat Walkable so some errands can be accomplished on foot.
Beautiful 3br townhouse available from mid-June to end of August 2015. Move- in and out dates are flexible and can be negotiated.
We have lived in the house for two years and absolutely love it. It has three bedrooms and 1.5 baths and it works well for both students and families. There is a private backyard that is wonderful for BBQ, relaxing in the sun and watching squirrels run up and down the trees. This idyllic and private spot is quite a catch for the price. The location is also amazing as it is walking distance to grocery stores and restaurants at the MarketPlace, has multiple bus lines and residential parks right next to the house and the campus is in bike-able distance.
Cats and dogs are allowed and I believe that there are not breeding restrictions.
Contact me if you have any questions or would like to come and see it.

Everyone happy with AVB?
so far so good pts wise. but not good enough in terms of performance.
we are desperately short upfront now with just defoe.
surely levy has to buy.
we were short even with ade.
its, I have to disagree strongly with u!
the majority of the season we have been creating hardly any good chances. apart from the last few games where we missed a lot of good chances.
most games we barely created anything & were limited to long shots or quarter/half chances.
id say in about 90% of games we have barely created any good chances.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
Odd timing - I had just read this:
..that compared AVB to 'arry, and it says that under AVB we've created more chances than any other EPL team.
What constitutes a chance though is anyone's guess - the 240 figure may have come from here:
- 1 Reply to Jlock
Great Timing Soppy,
I'd like to congratulate AVb and his management team on getting manager of the month in December.
I think we have to be happy with him thus far, he's had to cope with losing integral players, considerable injury problems and a chairman who just can quiet manage to open his cheque book wide enough.
I am not his biggest fan, but when you consider the relative upheaval I think he's done a great job, a little more fluency in our play would be great, but IMO that will come in time and signings.
I have to agree with SB- we need another striker, will Levy sanction it? I doubt it!
We have created more chances from open play than any other team in the league! so I have to agree with LTS, So many chances, so few taken.
I'm not 100% sold on AVB, but IMO we have to be fair with him, he's done well thus far! Home performances must become more attractive!

The iPhone's share of quarterly global smartphone app downloads stood at 29% in the second quarter of 2012, significantly below the 47% attributed to Android smartphones, according to new data from ABI Research (www.abiresearch.com).
"The iPhone's download share tends to see a lot of seasonal fluctuation, but over the past year or so it has stayed surprisingly resiliently between 30% and 37% of the total," says senior analyst Aapo Markkanen. "In our estimates the second quarter represented the first time the iPhone dipped below 30%. The iPhone 5 will most likely cause a second-half hike to the download count, but that may be of a rather temporary nature."
The main reason for the declining market share is Apple's clampdown on download bots earlier this year, which some developers utilized to manipulate their charts positions. For example, app-marketing firm Fiksu has published data indicating that at the high end of the download chart the bot squeeze may have alone wiped off even one-fourth of daily volumes.
For Android, the bots haven't been as big a factor to begin with, owing to Google's different app-ranking methods, as well as to the fact that in its app economy there is still far less money changing hands than on iOS. As another reason points to the growing prominence of the iPad.
"It's notable that among the iOS apps the momentum is also shifting up the value chain and towards iPad applications, and this change is happening definitely faster than what Google is experiencing," Markkanen says. "We estimate in the first half of this year the iPad saw over five times more app downloads than all Android tablets combined."

I liked the nook HD so much I bought the HD+ my question is when reading shouldn't the other tablet synch up with where I am when I open the other one? thanks
As this thread has gone (slightly) off topic, I'd like to point out some observations to the OP:
The trick is to get the Nook and the app to actually "phone home"
1) Nook devices seem to "phone home" on some sort of schedule that I do not know the time frame
2) Nook devices "phone home" on a full startup (not waking)
3) Nook devices "phone home" when pressing Refresh or Sync in the Library
So, to be sure you save your place on one device, take the 5 seconds to press the refresh button before you switch to the other device.
Then, on the second Nook, upon a startup or pressing the Refresh button, your pages should be synced.
To take this further, the Nook App will "phone home" when pressing the Sync button in the app's Library
Hope this helps.
Re: nook HD+ and nook HDdanBOOKe Jan 7, 2013 3:54 AM (in response to Larryb52)
I have had zero problems with this. A lot of people are forgetting some basics for the Nook honestly. First whatever device you are reading on, make sure it is connected to the internet. Once you come to a stopping point, make sure you bookmark where you are. On all of the touch devices this can be done by quickly tapping the middle and a ribbon will appear in the upper right corner. Tap this ribbon until it is a solid color, then exit your book. Turn on your other device, make sure it is connected to the internet, and open the same book you were reading. You should then get a message telling you that you are on another page on another device and be presented with the option of staying where you are or going to that last page you were on (from your other device).
Keep in mind this will only work for B&N downloaded content. Fortunately I have never run into this problem by following the "internet on + bookmarking" method with any of the six different Nook devices I own, Android apps, or PC program. Good luck to ya.
Re: nook HD+ and nook HDBFCoughlin Jan 7, 2013 5:04 AM (in response to danBOOKe)
In my experience, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I have not been able to establish a consistent pattern as to when I does and when it doesn't.
Re: nook HD+ and nook HD5ivedom Jan 7, 2013 1:23 PM (in response to danBOOKe)
Schwa, DanBookE
Thank you. That makes sense. I think either will work/should work.
Syncing to be on the safe side sounds best. Adding a bookmark is a good thing - sooner or later that bookmark will sync.

Bonus Buster Subpoenas Merrill Lynch Executives
Attorney General Andrew Cuomo has wasted no time subpoenaing the Merrill Lynch executives the 'Journal' says were paid more than $10 million apiece.
As expected, Attorney General Andrew Cuomo, after offering a hearty "Thanks, boys" (we imagine) to The Wall Street Journal for digging up the names of some of the Merrill Lynch executives who accepted multimillion dollar payouts in the face of the firm's disintegration last year and providing him with a cut-and-paste hit list, has wasted no time issuing subpoenas to said executives. The Bonus Buster will see Peter "Dirty Sexy Money" Kraus et al in the interrogation room soon, where he will presumably extract information about whether the distribution of bonuses violated securities law by "any means necessary."

Juice Festival Artist Commissions
Juice is an exciting, multi-artform festival creating work with, by and for children, young people and their families. Juice Festival takes place throughout NewcastleGateshead in October half term each year (proposed dates for 2015 are 24th October - 1st November). The week leading up to the festival focuses on schools, to enable school children to present, see and share work as part of the festival.
The 2015 festival will be the first step in a journey that will see Juice become a leader in commissioning and creating exciting and innovative art that is truly led by children and young people. We are looking to produce two (possibly more) new artworks for this year's festival that will help us begin this process.
This year's festival has the theme Seen and Heard, to raise the profile and visibility of children and young people's creativity and culture and give them a platform to create and share work.
We are seeking creative ideas that are high quality and captivating and will deliver a project that has opportunities for children, families and /or young people to be involved. This could be as performers, producers, curators, or via workshops and other activities to develop the work itself. Proposals should be engaging and accessible but can also be targeted at particular age ranges or types of audience.
Proposals can be for medium or small scale installations, as a single event or a number of performances. Proposals can include any type of artistic activity but we are particularly interested in work that has strong digital / new media content and may be presented on a range of online platforms as well as a 'live' experience during the festival. Proposals can be for work presented in a gallery, a venue or outdoor/ public realm settings.

(1867-1932). American human-rights activist, philanthropist, and actress Molly Brown survived the sinking of the Titanic. While she was alive, she was never known as Molly; in fact, the real-life Margaret Tobin Brown bears little resemblance to the legendary Molly Brown. Molly Brown was created in the 1930s and achieved prominence in the 1960 musical The Unsinkable Molly Brown and the 1964 film adaptation starring Debbie Reynolds.
