The property was great. the distance from the tube was not that far and easy to get around. Donna was a great help! We would consider staying there again. It would have been helpful to have instructions for the washer dryer combination, other than that it was great. My 2 granddaughters loved it. Klara was excellent at helping out prior to our arrival. Hugs to Klara and Donna!
The flat was clean and comfortable. Close to the London Bridge underground and grocery (Sainsburys). All appliances worked and there was ample supplies.
This apartment was in a good location. Very easy to get about London by tube or bus and an easy 15 min stroll to Tower Bridge or London Bridge. A small but well stocked Sainsbury's is only a couple of minutes away.
We were met by a greeter, who showed us round the apartment and explained how everything worked. The apartment was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed for a weeks stay,( except a tin opener!)
The view from the lounge window was outstanding with the Shard nearby and the City in the distance.
For us it was ideal. Not luxury but good value for money and easy access to Central London.
From booking to arriving the management were easy to deal with and answered all our questions promptly.
I have used VRBO to book vacation rentals before and this is the first time I have been disappointed.
Apparently, the flat was designed by someone who wanted it to look good in photos, but had no thought for the actual comfort and convenience of people who stayed there. There were NO conveniences I have come to expect from renting vacation homes. Not even a trash can in the bathroom. No paper towels, no facial tissues, only one roll of toilet tissue for 3 adults for a week. Oh, and if you want to prepare any food in the kitchen, be advised there are no condiments of any kind – no salt, pepper, seasonings, sauces, sugar.
More inconveniences: The furniture in the living room looked good in the photos, but was very uncomfortable to actually sit on. There were no mirrors in the apartment, other than the bathroom. Since bathrooms have an electric outlet only for shavers, my daughter and I had to blow-dry and style our hair using our dim reflection in the television screen. We should have recorded some of those sessions for YouTube laughs.
One of our primary criteria when searching for lodging in VRBO was for two bathrooms. We were told the day we arrived that the en suite toilet was broken and a plumber was being called. The toilet stayed broken our entire 6-day stay. There was a new excuse daily.
The washing machine broke and we had to haul our laundry down three blocks to the self-help laundromat. The elevator broke our last day there and we had to drag our luggage down three flights of stairs.
This was perfect location, apartment was clean, modern and comfortable. Short walk to tube station and had lots of cafes and shops nearby. We would definately be back! Loved it great break 😀
Apartment situated in a very quiet place with beautiful view on the shard and the undeground station has 15min stands
Klara is for the small care with you, and the inclusive taxi is the truth more
Equipped with all the comfort i recommend this rent
Only small b mol the faucet of the cooking(kitchen) must be otherwise repaired
very clean and good equiped with all the confort like at home
and go to the simply indian a nice restaurant in the aera

NERV LAN March 2009, what was supposed to be the start of hopefully another exciting LAN season for Call of Duty 4 was officially canceled today. NERV organizers released the following statement on the CAL forums pertaining to the cancellation:
Because this thread had taken a turn in the wrong direction we received several messages this evening inquiring about the status of the tournament and requests for withdraws. NERV has been a high quality host for many eSports events in the past and we have been directly involved in providing a safe, engaging, and exciting venue for gamers to professionally compete. We are canceling this event because of the disillusionment created through the conversation here from which we believe we cannot recover in the next 24 hours, which is the deadline for registration.
I personally want to thank everyone who intended to participate and took the time to register. I want to extend special thanks to Matt Gomez, who has been instrumental in providing us a pulse on this community. He has done a terrific job and we appreciate his support over the last 2 years.
With this said, NERV will be exiting the direct engagement area of competitive eSports and will instead focus on our competency of eSports logistics. Specifically, this means that NERV will cease to be directly engaged in this community as a liaison or as a host, but we will be providing our expertise and support to large venues and the major eSports players in North America.
My comments to the NERV staff: good for you guys. The whole situation surrounding NERV had gotten completely out of hand. When the event was first announced it seemed it had the potential to be the largest North American event to date, but as the deadline drew closer and closer, the organizers were forced to push the deadline back and back to reach the necessary team limit until it was too late.
Yes, 16 teams did register for the event, but the organizers should not have to deal with all the shit the community was giving them. I have personally been to every NERV event and the staff present know what they are doing and how to do it. The last thing they need is to sit around and take shit from the people they are trying to offer an event for.
Am I upset that the event is canceled? Hell yes. But I am more upset at the community. You take one of the few organizations willing to devote the time and money (and yes to many people's surprise NERV does lose money when hosting these events) and drive them away, especially in today's economic times. You think other LAN centers are magically going to pop out of the ground to offer events? Hell no!
I hope you all open your eyes and see exactly what was done here, and don't you dare start throwing the blame on Matt or NERV organizers. This is everyone's problem, so now we all have to live with it. Until someone else decides to spend the time and money for this community, have fun online.

It's never too early to start shopping for Christmas, with only 10 weeks 6 days left to go! But what about the age old question of what to buy for everyone? Luckily for you, i have the answer!
Uncommon Goods is a online shop that has a staggering amount of handmade, recycled and sustainable gifts, they are also committed to animal welfare and don't sell products that contain leathers, feathers or fur! (How great is that!)
We all know some men can be difficult to buy for, and i'm pretty sure we've all heard the "I don't want anything" saying, but here are a few ideas for the men in your life. (Y'know in case they change their mind.)
For the one's who like to party:
This Beeropoly game would make a awesome gift your Boyfriend/Fiance/Husband or Brother. Any fan of Breaking Bad would go crazy for this chemistry cocktail set.
For the business man:
This calendar would fit in, in any office, and these funny plaques would make great gag gift.
women can be difficult to buy for too! We always give a list of wayy too many things and by the time we've got to the end we probably can't remember what we asked for in the first place. Here are some of my favourite gift ideas for women in your life.
For the wine lovers:
How great is this decanter bag?, whether you like wine, prosecco or G&T, if someone bought you this for Christmas you'd bloody love it. Wouldn't you?! And how beautiful are these iridescent unicorn glasses?
For the ones who like to pamper:
These birthstone gemstone soaps are so beautiful and look amazingly realistic. This lip balm kit is fantastic such a useful, thoughtful gift.
Here are the other items perfect for Christmas gifts that caught my eye.
The best of the rest :
with gifts for pets and their owners, beards and their owners and the lovers of unicorns, gifts from Uncommon Goods will not disappoint.
I hope you enjoyed my first Christmas gift guide, let me know what you think of my choices.

Philippine Shippers Cut Fares To Get Island Hoppers Back
P ASSENGER-SHIP lines in the Philippines are returning fire as price competition in the archipelago's airline business lures budget-conscious customers to island-hop by air rather than by sea.
William, Gothong & Aboitiz Inc., the Philippines' biggest shipping line, and Sulpicio Lines Inc. have recently introduced fare cuts that aim to put more passengers back on the waves.
Cutthroat competition since three start-up carriers...

We go way back, horse and man. Humans began to domesticate horses around 4000 BC, and since then we have struck up quite a relationship. This multifaceted and fascinating partnership has been depicted for almost as long as that, going back to pre-historic cave paintings.
Fotografiska's group exhibition Like a Horse consists of work from 30 photographers with the horse as the common denominator. "With great respect and stringency, Like a Horse brings to the fore the animal and the symbolical aspects of the horse. Humour shares the stage with sensuality, the workaday with glamour and power, all executed with great artistic relevance", says Pauline Benthede, Exhibition Manager at Fotografiska.
The exhibition is curated by New York-based Sophie Mörner, photographer, publisher and avid rider. For the tenth anniversary of her photo art publication Capricious she produced High Tails – an eclectic volume of photography celebrating horses – so she seems to have quite an obsession with horses in photo art. She explains her thoughts on the exhibition: "The culture of equestrianism and horse sports is often vilified. It's interesting to ponder how this is connected to the fact that it's a phenomenon that is related to women and girls. I think of this exhibition as a reflection of Western prejudices about 'the sport for privileged girls', which I find a belittling and narrow view on the life and work of the contemporary horse. In most parts of the world, the horse is still of vital importance as a means of transportation and as a working animal. I hope that the selection of images can widen the perspective and direct attention towards the broader context".
The exhibition includes touching, provocative, educational and above all fascinating photographs, video works and installations. Well-known international photographers such as Mary Ellen Mark, Herb Ritts, David LaChapelle and Charlotte Gyllenhammar rub shoulders with up-and-coming Swedish video and photography artists, including Erika Larsen and Theresia Viska.
What's your personal relationship with horses?
Horses are my biggest passion in life, it's where I feel at home.
As the tenth anniversary of your publication Capricious you produced High Tails – an eclectic volume of photography celebrating horses – you seem to have quite an obsession with horses in photo art.
I wouldn't call it obsession, it's more like a natural thing to make our anniversary book around horses. Everyone that knows me knows about my heart for horses so no one was surprised. That aside, people often use horses in art and photography, it carries a lot of symbolism.
How did this Like a Horse project (an exhibition, a book etc.) come about? And why do you think it will strike a chord with Stockholmers?
Fotografiska saw High Tails and were excited about a possible exhibition. I am also part of the curatorial board since many years so it's an idea that developed in the group. The catalog for the show is a separate thing. I think Stockholmers will be surprised but also excited. It is a very different take on horse photography…
Like A Horse opens at Fotografiska on May 19

We Have A Beaver
I actually have a beaver chopping down a tree in my backyard! We have a creek that runs through our yard. It's a pretty big creek too, about twenty feet deep and wide. It all started last year when we had a huge flood. The creek is usually pretty low, most times you can see the bottom. Here is a picture from the start of last years flood. The tree Bucky is chopping down is on the right.
Here is a picture of the flood waters getting higher, and into my yard. I won't post anymore flood pics, but the water surrounded my house, thanks to all my sand bagging efforts, the water never got in my house!
Flash forward to this summer. Now we have all kinds of wildlife in our yard! because of the flood so many animals were displaced. Bambi lived in my yard most of the summer.
Remember the tree in the first picture, well, Bucky the Beaver is chopping it down. This is a huge cottonwood tree. See in between the two trees, I think that is where Bucky and his family live now. They are building a Damn.
Here is a closer look! Bucky only comes out a night, so I am not able to get a good picture of him. I will keep you posted on his progress!

text: WALES — When Oak Hill High School juniors take the SAT on Saturday — as all juniors in Maine will — they may be humming the tune, "Sexy and I Know It." Blame their teachers. To boost student performance and call attention to the importance of the exam, Oak Hill teachers made a music video about the SAT, borrowing heavily from the hip-hop group LMFAO's "Sexy and I Know It." They used the same beat and changed the lyrics. Their title is "So Smart and I Know It." Instead of cruising for chicks in Venice, Calif., as the rock stars did in the original video, Oak Hill faculty cruise the school halls, pretending to be cool, smart, high-schoolers studying for SAT. The video has been a hit at the school and has received 2,448 hits on YouTube. The video opens up with: "MAY 5, 2012," then an SAT sign with an arrow, a closeup of a No. 2 pencil, followed by energetic music with big letters: "ARE YOU READY OAK HILL?"

Smells good, moisturises decently
Nice for variety anyway. Hand cream isn't big in India yet, so it's nice to try some brands other than Body Shop. This keeps my hands smooth, even though it needs regular updating.

It seems that old-school ass-kickery is still in high demand, as Namco Bandai are pleased to announce that the soul-crushing Dark Souls has shipped 1.5 million units since its release last month. They were even so kind as to break down the numbers regionally:
- Japan: 370,000 units
- North America: 620,000 units
- Europe: 470,000 units
- Asia: 40,000 units
Our own Malcolm Spinedi graded the game an A- in his review, and it just goes to show that games can find success when they're aimed at the right audience.

UCC Hosts Free Dinner
On November 8, the Chewelah United Church of Christ hosted their annual free stew dinner for the community. Five roasters of homemade stew were prepared by the church ladies with ingredients supplied by the congregation. Susan Chamberlin and Coleen Mapes made multiple loaves of French bread, which came out of the oven just as the dinner began. There was also an assortment of pies, pumpkin, apple, and berry. By the end of the two hours of serving, about 175 had enjoyed this delicious meal.
The Free Dinner has been a part of the ministry at Chewelah UCC for over 25 years. It all began as an idea conceived by Roberta McMillin as a way to give back to the community of Chewelah. Roberta noticed that the churches in town were often asking the community to support fund raisers, such as yard sales and bazaars. That is when she decided the church should thank all the community members for their support. From the beginning, this event was advertised as "No Strings Attached", meaning there would be no speeches, no message, and no literature passed out to those attending. Instead it was and continues to be a great time of fellowship and a sharing of good food.
If you missed out this year, you will have another opportunity to join us on the second Thursday of November in 2013.

Latin America's drug war has long been a byword for ugliness: a macho, brutal world where grim-faced soldiers battled ruthless narco-traffickers in jungles and slums.
In such a world, Jessica Anne Jordan Burton cuts a somewhat incongruous figure. The 26-year-old British-born former model and beauty queen has become a controversial figurehead in Bolivia's increasingly fraught campaign against cocaine barons.
It is far from clear that this is a battle she is winning, but there is no doubting her courage. President Evo Morales, a socialist Aymara Indian, has appointed the former Miss Bolivia, who has not held previous public office, to be his viceroy in Beni, a remote and volatile drug-infested province.
"Drugs are a problem. Trafficking is a problem. Corruption is a problem. Poverty is a problem. So I feel I have a mission," Jordan told the Observer last week, after a few weeks in the job. "I am taking this post very seriously and I love it. I feel I am in my place."
She accepted the possibility of assassination that came with the job. "My life is always at risk. There's only one life and I think we have to work the best we can to leave something behind."
Jordan, born in Bath, Somerset, to a British engineer and Bolivian mother, moved to Bolivia as a young girl after her parents divorced. She said she would crack down on illegal logging and gold mining as well as drugs. "I'd like to change the image of Beni as a pirate, trafficking area. It is time for this region to grow as we always dreamed."
The appointment, which astonished Bolivia, has turned the spotlight on the country's faltering effort to rein in drug traffickers amid grim tidings from the rest of the region. The official death toll from Mexico's four-year crackdown has jumped to 28,000, prompting talk of once unthinkable measures such as legalising marijuana. Despite a US-backed military campaign, Colombia remains the world's biggest producer of cocaine. Remnants of the Shining Path guerrillas in Peru ramped up production of coca leaves, cocaine's raw ingredient, to 119,000 tonnes last year.
The picture in Bolivia is also bleak. UN and US officials estimate that 30,000 hectares of illegal coca is now being cultivated. Authorities have seized more than 18 tonnes of cocaine this year but that is believed to be a small fraction of what is being shipped to Brazil and Europe, reportedly making cocaine Bolivia's third main revenue source after gas and mining.
"There are a lot of very experienced foreign drug traffickers and producers based here now," said Bolivia's anti-drugs chief, Felipe Cáceres. "With the Colombians bringing down their methods, producers can produce much more [cocaine] paste with less coca. They have much more sophisticated methods."
Local gangs had forged ties with Mexico's Zeta cartel and two Brazilian networks, First Capital Command and Comando Vermelho, said Cáceres. "But we are not going to let Bolivia be trapped into a Colombia or Mexico-like scenario."
Valentín Mejillones, an Aymara priest who blessed Morales at a presidential inauguration ceremony, was recently arrested alongside two Colombians with a 240kg stash of liquid cocaine. It was an embarrassing blow to the leftwing president. A former coca farmer himself, he expelled US drug agents two years ago, saying he could achieve a "zero cocaine" policy by allowing farmers to grow the crop for medicinal and cultural uses, but recently acknowledged his experiment – a bold departure from US-led eradication policies – was in trouble.
Critics scorned Jordan as lightweight eye-candy, but Miguel Angel Ruiz, a congressman for Beni who belongs to the president's Socialist party, defended the appointment as part of a broader strategy. "The borders in Beni were forgotten, neglected. Now Evo Morales has created an agency at national and regional levels to try to stop drug trafficking and smuggling once and for all. And Jessica's role at a regional level is key in this."
Jordan, speaking to the Observer from the town of Trinidad during a tour of the province, said she always had a social conscience and had planned to use modelling as a springboard for politics.
Her current job was created after she narrowly lost an election for governor – Morales asked her three times to run – in a contested election.
"People were saying, 'Jessica has no experience', and I was saying where is the experience of the people who have been running Beni for so long that we don't have basic services?
"People in politics here are always out for their own gain. I am now working for my region and for my country." She accepted comparisons with Cinderella in reverse: born into privilege, educated in Miami, holidays in Sardinia – and now trekking through muddy wilderness to build schools and roads.
Her looks, she said, were no longer relevant. "The physical thing doesn't really matter. I have already proved I can do the job."

Random discoveries humanity
History shows that some scientific discoveries, including those who have turned the world have been made by accident.
Suffice it to recall Archimedes, which was lowered into the bath, he opened a law named after him later on submerged bodies and their buoyancy force, or Newton, who dropped the famous apple. Finally, Mendeleyev, who saw his table of elements in a dream.
Maybe something here is an exaggeration, but there are very specific examples showing that in science a lot depends on the case. Wired Magazine has collected some of them:
1. Viagra
It is known that Viagra was originally developed as a treatment for angina. Men all over the world should be grateful to the people of Wales Merthyr Taydfil. It was here in 1992, during the tests showed a remarkable side effect of the drug.
Swiss scientist Albert Hofmann in 1943, became the first person to try to "acid". He saw himself on the effect of lysergic acid diethylamide, when conducted medical research this matter and its effect on the birth process.
3. X-ray
In the XIX century many scientists were interested in the rays appearing in the electron strikes a metal target. However, X-rays revealed the German scientist Wilhelm Roentgen in 1895. He was subjected to different objects exposed to this radiation, changing them accidentally saw on the wall there was a projection of the bones of his own hands.
4. Penicillin
Scottish scientist Alexander Fleming was researching the 1928 flu. One day he noticed that a blue-green mold (natural penicillin isolated fungi) multiply in a petri dish, there are all killed staphylococci.
5. Artificial sweeteners
Three of the most common sweetener was discovered only because scientists forgot to wash your hands. Cyclamate (1937) and aspartame (1965) were the byproduct of medical research, and saccharin (1879) was accidentally discovered in studies of coal tar derivatives.
6. Microwaves
Microwave emitters (magnetrons) allies worked on radar during the Second World War. New applications were discovered in 1946, when the magnetron chocolate bar melted in his pocket Percy Spencer, one of the engineers of the American company Raytheon.
7. Brandy
In the Middle Ages, wine merchants often evaporated water is transported from the beverage so that it does not spoil, and take up less space. Soon, someone smart decided to dispense with the recovery phase. Thus was born the brandy.
8. Vulcanized rubber
Uncured rubber is very fragile to external influences and bad smells. Charles Gudyer, after whom the company was named Goodyear, discovered the process of vulcanization, when he accidentally put a mixture of rubber and sulfur on a hot stove.
9. Potato chips
Chef George Crum invented the popular snack in 1853. When one of his customers complained that his potatoes are sliced too thick slices, he took the potatoes, cut thick slices of it almost from paper and fried. Thus there were chips.
10. Buns with raisins
Here it is worth mentioning the legend described connoisseur of Moscow journalist and writer Vladimir Gilyarovskogo that muffin with raisins invented the famous baker Ivan Filippov. The Governor-General Arseny Zakrevskii, bought once fresh Sikes, suddenly found a cockroach in it. Called on the carpet Filippov, grabbed and ate insects, claiming that the general was wrong - it was a highlight. Back at the bakery, Filippov ordered to urgently start the oven scones with raisins, to justify himself before the governor.

"If we can't go West, we can nevertheless go Western"
--Christian Science Monitor Magazine, July 1941.
"The Old West--with modern trimmings--can be
reached by train in an hour or less"
--New York Times, January 10, 1943.
The first dude ranches in the east appeared as early as the late 1920's. Skyland Ranch in the planned Shenandoah National Park region advertised itself as a dude ranch and resort in 1930. However, it remained an isolated case. It was not until the mid-1930's that the eastern dude ranch came into its own in the Northeast. By 1937, an estimated 40 ranches dotted the Catskills, Long Island, Adirondacks, Berkshires, New Jersey highlands, and the Poconos. What seems at first to be a sort of frivolous buffoonery--after all no one was suggesting a fox hunt in Wyoming or a colonial village in Montana--became a very successful enterprise. Although the eastern dude ranches were the butt of many jokes, no one could argue with their popularity. The success of the eastern dude ranch is due to a congenial mix of practical considerations, historical circumstances, and changes in the American vision of the West and vacationing.
The East was not a stranger to vacationing on horseback. There were many riding resorts (like Green Trails, featured in the advertisement in the column on the left) all over the eastern seaboard that offered fox hunting, trail riding, and steeple chasing. However, the eastern dude ranch was something entirely different. The dude ranches were full-blown transplants of those in the West. A comparison of advertisements of both eastern and western dude ranches illustrates this clearly. If not for the addresses, it would be impossible to tell which were in the Rockies and which were on Long Island.
In every way, the eastern ranches strove to look and act like their western counterparts. The eastern dude ranches did not try to be anything new or different; the more confused the dude was about which state he was in the better. In its advertising brochure, Skyland Ranch sets up the western comparison in the first line: "The finest stable of saddle horses east of Eaton's Ranch, Wyoming." The eastern ranches had names like the Lazy-J, Box Canyon, Hidden Valley, G-Bar-S, Sun Canyon, and the Bar X. The most common set-up mirrored the western ranches with log or wood sided cabins, a corral, barn, and lodge with roaring fire. Activities were also the same. There were pack trips, square dances, campfires, and cookouts.
Granted many "ranches" in the East adopted the dude ranch title, but not the fullout western atmosphere. However, this misappropriation only testifies to the popularity of the dude ranch even in the east.
Like with the early western dude ranch, the eastern dude ranch tried to assert its authenticity while providing comfortable accommodations. Often horses and help were brought in from the western states.
The eastern dude ranch was certainly missing some aspects of the West, but the ranches were not selling the region, they were selling the lifestyle. One eastern ranch owner put it this way:
The eastern dude ranches did tend to go a bit over the top in trying to create the authentic western experience. An article in The New York Times pointed out, "this synthetic atmosphere can be somewhat overdone, as witness the ranch that went to the extreme of building a cardboard replica of an old frontier town with a dance hall and a 'Last Chance Saloon' (MacCabe, "Eastern Dude Ranches"). One Long Island Ranch even owned 200 Mexican and Brahma steers (Markland, "To the Crazy B"). Some arranged Indian pow-wow's, and the Skyland Ranch even hosted an Indian Ride where the dudes would dress in full Native American regalia (or at least what they thought qualified as such) and ride "across the valley...to a real feast at Shuler's Ranch on the Shenandoah River" (Skyland, 7).
Another reporter tells the ironic story of one eastern ranch who went so far as to purchase a "real western Buffalo:"
If the owners supplied the setting it was the dudes that brought the imagination. They were more than willing to play "lets pretend" in the name of entertainment and relaxation. They put on their cowboy hats, levis, neckerchiefs, and boots just like the western dudes and let their imaginations do the rest.
As funny as all this pretending sounds, it worked, and the eastern dude ranch became successful right on the heels of its western brother. In 1937 there were about 30 ranches in the east (Morgan). Five years later, that number had climbed to between 40 and 50. The Eastern Dude Ranch Association was formed in 1942, bringing organization and a certain legitimacy to the ranches of the east (Markland, "To the Crazy B").
There were several very practical reasons for the rise of the eastern dude ranch, the most obvious being time and money. The rates of the eastern ranches were not considerably cheaper than those in the west, but naturally the travel costs were greatly reduced. Despite the improvements made in transportation, the train ride west was still long and rather expensive for those of the middle classes. Commercial air travel was a bit quicker, but also very expensive. Most of the eastern ranches were within a three hour train ride of Manhattan, and some could be reached in an hour or less. The quick journey made it possible for those with limited funds and limited time to have a ranch vacation. The secretaries, teachers, and common salesmen had only a week's vacation at best and were not at liberty to make the trek west; these groups became the primary dudes of the east.
The arrival of World War II brought more success to the eastern ranches. Travel restrictions kept many close to home and the dude ranches of the east provided an outlet for wartime stress. Like the western ranches, those of the east found that the gasoline and tire restrictions forced them back to wooden wheels. The dudes loved to be greeted at the train station by a handsome four-in-hand or a beat-up wagon with old Bessie in harness. This kind of enforced "hardship" was fun on the dude ranch. Meals were also cut back, but guests were happily informed that they did not have to bring their ration books (Parker). Guests also did not feel so guilty going on a simple, nearby ranch vacation. It was not extravagant, and ranch life was a moral booster, a confirmation of those things held truly American.
The reasons for the success of the eastern dude ranch were not limited to logistical and fiscal concerns. It was born because the western lifestyle had evolved into a recognizable icon, packageable and exportable. Dude ranch was popular, as established in Romance, Rest and Recreation, and there were strong logistical and fiscal reasons to look for the dude ranch in the east, but what was the mindset that American's adopted to accept the eastern dude ranch so whole heartedly in the 30's, 40's, and 50's?
The exportation of the West to the eastern seaboard was largely enabled by film, and other western appearances on the pop culture scene. Hollywood produced 100 western pictures a year throughout the 1920's and between 1930 and 1954 over 2,000 low budget westerns were produced. In addition, the singing, acting cowboys--Gene Autry and Roy Rogers-- were amazingly popular (White, 135). People did not have to go west, the West came to them. The West was also popular in dime novels and pulp magazines. There were rodeos and other Wild West spectacles in the east through the 1940's, including The Madison Square Garden World's Championship Rodeo which ran from 1929-1954. These popular images created expectations in the minds of potential dudes about what the western lifestyle was like. The eastern dude ranch was successful because it could easily meet and surpass this Hollywood version of the West right in New Jersey.
With the ever present hum of the machine age in the background, there was a common belief that the wild West was not so wild anymore. The harnessing of the western rivers by the Hoover (Boulder) (1930-1935) and Coulee Dams (1934-41), the electric power they created, and the improved transportation systems somehow tamed the West in the eyes of the East. (For more on the Hoover Dam see the AS@UVA site The Hoover Dam: Lonely Lands Made Fruitful.) The highway acts of 1921 and 1934 extended and improved both interstate and secondary roads. The automobile could now invade regions that had once been ruled by the horse (Jakle, 126). The Golden Gate Bridge and the Oakland Bay Bridge were both completed in the late 1930's, proving that the auto could even cross water. In 1935, Greyhound buslines bought out many of the smaller bus companies and began running transcontinental service. The commercial airline industry was also taking off, flying coast to coast in 17 hours by 1938 (Jakle, 162). Since the West was essentially won, it could now be recreated as easily in the Berkshires as in the Rockies.
Although people continued to look for some sort of authenticity at the dude ranch--are these real Wyoming horses? Is the wrangler from Colorado? Does he ride in the rodeo on Saturday night?--it was essentially viewed as a representation. The ranches in the west were moving from the old cattle/dude outfits to primarily dude ranches (as discussed in Western Beginnings). This transition from authentic to representation in the West made the eastern dude ranches possible. In the East, guests accepted the represented West without question because they were not confused by geography. The West does not belong in the East, therefore dudes did not judge the eastern ranches by the standard of the "real ranch." In the West, the difference between real and represented is blurred, a problem that Bernard DeVoto takes up below.
At this time, the eastern dude ranch was in the company of a number of efforts to create full scale reproductions of distinctly American icons. J. D. Rockefeller Jr. began work on Colonial Williamsburg in 1928, and the village opened its gates in 1932. Williamsburg's popularity exceeded all expectations, and the number of visitors doubled annually for the next decade (Kammen, 356). In the colonial village, visitors entered an entirely different century and immersed themselves in its culture. Henry Ford was also beginning to make his contribution to the preservation of America by collecting houses and other sundry items from all times and locations in order to create his own patchwork version of Williamsburg: the Ford Museum and Greenfield Village. He said of the project, "When we are through, we shall have reproduced American life as lived; and that, I think, is the best way of preserving at least a part of our history and tradition" (qtd. in Kammen, 353).
Later in the decade, the 1939 New York World's Fair invited visitors to enter "The World of Tomorrow." (For more on the 1939 World's Fair see the AS@UVA site The Iconography of Hope: The 1939-40 New York World's Fair) Various exhibits immersed the visitors in an environment of the future. In General Motor's "Futurama" exhibition, visitors observed a city of 1960 built to scale, and at the tour's conclusion, they stepped into a full-size production of the city. In many different places in the 1930's, Americans were learning to pretend in order to be entertained and educated. The eastern dude ranch merely asked the same. In part, these reproductions were made feasible by the advances in the machine age, and their popularity can be partially attributed to the continuing surge of nationalism during the depression and World War II. These exhibitions, the dude ranch included, allowed Americans to see where they came from and where they were going at a time when the national consciousness needed soothing.
Naturally the eastern ranches had their critics, or more appropriately, their hecklers. However, this "dude ranch criticism" did not appear until the late 1940's, when the eastern ranches had been going strong for over a decade. A few articles pointed out that the eastern ranches were not trying to recreate the West, but only live up to the Hollywood expectations of its visitors. The New York Times Magazine ran a series of cartoons called Yippie Yee in 1947. The accompanying article parodied the over-done jargon of the dude ranch and pointed out that if all the cowhands were dude wranglers, who were they imitating?
The article continued with a series of definitions for the eastern dude to study, such as:
The cartoon in the left column Colliers in 1950 along with an article entitled "Out Whar the East Begins." In these excerpts, the author pours the western vernacular on thick and makes fun of the dude's ability to endure hardship not for the sake of simplicity but to look the part of the cowboy.
The only serious, more thoughtful piece on the eastern dudes and their effect on America came from Bernard DeVoto in his column for Harper's Magazine, "The Easy Chair." Although DeVoto begins by poking a little fun at the eastern dudes, he ends by criticizing the West, not the East. The eastern dudes are a natural outcome of the plethora of popular culture images of the West. He calls the ranches "the offspring you get by crossing a myth with the advertising business" (58). According to DeVoto, they are harmless leisure hounds imitating Gene Autry for entertainment and fun. However, to think that there is any more significance to the cowboy getup is where the dude fantasy becomes serious. "But what is still funnier is that this splendid efflorescence is referred, both historically and in the wearer's mind, back to the Cattle Kingdom and the open range, what the myth calls the Old West." DeVoto argues that clinging to this myth has held the West back economically.
Despite their hecklers, the eastern dude ranches were an unconditional success. They were convenient, they played in to expectations of the dudes, and they were downright fun. The eastern ranches offered all of the things that people found so attractive about the western ranches--informality, camaraderie, exercise, and a link to the American past--and they came at a time when guests could accept them as a representation of the Old West, and when transportation was good enough to tame the West, but difficult enough to make it a lot easier and cheaper to stay closer to home. The proliferation of dude ranches in the east cannot be narrowed down to one cause, but occurred out of a variety of circumstances working simultaneously.

"War Rock", an online multiplayer PC game (note: the site only works with IE), came to me through a whisper on the Web: "It's a Korean 'Battlefield 2'". I downloaded the relatively small (180 MB) launching software and in no time was shooting (and being seriously shot at) in a virtual war zone. The ease of use is one of the positive points of "War Rock", but do not expect to play a highly-advanced FPS (First-Person Shooter), as the sophistication of its game engine is not on par with "Battlefield 2".
The game is free and very easy to sign on to, so it's hard for me to complain further. My understanding is that in Korea, youngsters play online PC games at Internet cafes and do pay for the plays (therefore the profit angle of the game company), whereas the home PC players, like me, get to do it for free because they need people to play with, uh, shoot at. And these Korean players are good -- many times I got wasted in less than a minute into the game.
A side note: in "War Rock", a player can choose to use a female avatar as his/her playing character, and in one of the sessions, I suddenly found myself shooting at an all-female enemy team. Whether or not they are really all female players (which I doubt, owning to the testosterone-mad nature of this genre) is not the issue, but it is a psychological shock to have to shoot at these "women" who are built like Angelina Jolie.

Primary cardiac tumors are rare: the autopsy incidence is 0.0001% to 0.0003%, or, in practical terms, about 1 in every 500 cardiac surgical cases. These primary cardiac tumors are 75% benign and 25% malignant, and, of the malignant tumors, 75% are sarcomas.1 Primary cardiac sarcomas often afflict young patients who have no predisposing factors, and these tend to have a dismal prognosis. In studies involving medical therapy alone, 90% of primary-cardiac-sarcoma patients have been dead within 9 to 12 months. Series of soft-tissue sarcomas outside of the heart have shown that complete surgical excision—or sequential resection of metastatic disease, when possible—yields the best long-term survival.
Surgical series of primary cardiac sarcoma have tended to be small, and individual surgeons (and even institutions) have not gained extensive experience with this condition. The Mayo Clinic2 reviewed its records covering a 32-year period and found 34 patients who had undergone surgical resection of primary cardiac sarcoma; the median survival time of 12 months was extended to 17 months in the event of R0 resection. Patients in this series who had an R1 resection had a median survival time of 6 months. A combined series from M.D. Anderson Cancer Center and the Texas Heart Institute3 found 21 patients over a 25-year period; those patients had an actuarial survival rate of 14% at 2 years. Those who underwent an R0 resection had a median survival time of 24 months, whereas those who underwent an R1 resection had a median survival time of 10 months, which again emphasizes the importance of complete resection in these patients.
This background information from the medical literature led our group to a systematic study of primary cardiac sarcoma, in an attempt to better define this difficult disease and to improve the poor prognosis associated with it. We classify primary cardiac sarcoma by location rather than by cell type, because we have found that cell type does not affect prognosis or treatment planning—but anatomic location does. We divide these tumors into right-heart sarcomas, left-heart sarcomas, and pulmonary artery sarcomas.4,5
Right-heart sarcomas tend to be bulky and infiltrative, and to metastasize early. Their bulk often extends to the exterior of the heart, and it is uncommon for patients to develop right-heart failure from obstruction until very late in the course of the disease. Because these tumors usually do not present with heart failure or imminent threat of heart failure, we advise neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy allows us to shrink these usually large tumors, to increase the possibility of achieving an R0 resection and better outcome. These tumors tend to have infiltrating "fingers" of microscopic disease extending from the periphery of the tumor, and it is hoped that neoadjuvant therapy will decrease these. We have operated on 22 patients with right-heart sarcoma: 13 men and 9 women, with a mean age of 48 years. Fifteen of these tumors were angiosarcomas. The operative mortality rate was 9% (2/22). We could achieve an R0 resection in only a third of our patients, which highlights the infiltrative nature of right-heart sarcoma. The median survival time was 27 months; the longest-surviving patient is alive at 9.5 years. We are currently completing analysis of this patient cohort for publication.
Left-heart sarcomas tend to be more solid and less infiltrative, and to metastasize later than right-heart sarcomas. Left atrial sarcomas tend to grow into the left atrial cavity, and they often present with heart failure. All left atrial sarcomas that we have seen have been resected incompletely at 1st operation under a presumed diagnosis of myxoma, and then referred to us only after aggressive recurrence. Because these tumors so often present with heart failure, neoadjuvant chemotherapy is often not an option. Complete surgical resection is the goal of therapy, but the anatomic location of left-heart sarcomas makes this a difficult surgical challenge. To enable optimal anatomic accessibility for complete resection and accurate cardiac reconstruction, our group has built upon the cardiac autotransplantation procedure introduced by Dr. Cooley for the treatment of complex left atrial tumor. We have done 24 cardiac autotransplantations for left-heart tumors.6,7 There were 18 cardiac autotransplantations alone, with no deaths, and 6 cardiac autotransplantations combined with pneumonectomies because of tumor extension. Three of these patients died, yielding a 50% mortality rate if pneumonectomy had to be combined with autotransplantation. The survival curve for left-heart sarcomas is shown in Figure 1.
Pulmonary artery sarcoma tends to be angiosarcoma and to present with pulmonary artery obstruction and significant right-heart failure, which again precludes neoadjuvant therapy in most cases. Most arise close to the pulmonary valve, which itself is involved in about one third of cases. These tumors, interestingly, tend to grow distally along the pulmonary artery and do not grow through the artery wall itself; these characteristics aid complete resection. Aggressive complete resection is the key to survival. We have resected 8 pulmonary artery sarcomas: the median survival time has been 71 months, with a 5-year survival rate of 72.9%.8 The survival curves are shown in Figure 2.
We believe that an aggressive surgical approach and the use of multiple methods have enabled us to improve the survival rates in this difficult disease. Due to the high probability of metastatic disease, we recommend chemotherapy after surgery in all patients, despite a current lack of supportive data.9 Future approaches in treating this deadly disease will include better biologic treatments with possible "maintenance" chemotherapy, as well as the possibility of complete cardiac excision and replacement with a mechanical device to enable radical resection and the use of cardiotoxic chemotherapy without penalty.

When purchasing watches, no one is questioned with how to wear watches, actually. This appears to be logical and rational. Nevertheless, the simplest things happen to be complicated sometimes. Everything is made from details and details sometimes mean far more than the whole. People who really wander how to wear watches properly exist and they are really concerned in this issue.
The Cuban leader Fidel Castro, a revolutionary Che Gevara, politicians Winston Churchill and Bill Clinton, writers Somerset Maugham and Mark Twain, the actor and the political figure Arnold Schwarzenegger – these names are well-known and these figures are best known to the world for their political, social, literary and other achievements. Moreover, the abovementioned people highly esteem cigar smoking and, thus, they come as people who own the greatest number of tools and accessories so requisite for this leisurely process and among others there are cigar lighters.
In the light of a variety and availability of glass items, glass ware is still appreciated by plenty people, especially when it comes to cut glass. The cut glass produces a long, lingering and musical tune when you put your finger at the cut-glass edge. So, in Japan the craftsmen make unique musical instruments. A crystal violin, completely transparent, is estimated for fifty thousand USD. Crystal glass tableware is not so much expensive though it is able to produce the charming, unique and so brittle music providing it is properly cared.
Long hair
is believed to be beautiful for ever time. Nothing of the kind, though, you
know. Sometimes when a woman has a pony tail of too long hair, there is only
one desire to cut the hair till shoulders to make it look like an accurate hair
style. Long hair is not simple to care and it rarely looks attractive when it
is not properly cared and trimmed. Anytime
we can go to the hairdresser's and require a style to match our complexion and
image. What is to be done with long hair is the «cascade» hairstyle when the
hair is not smooth and even but it is torn, thinned out, the hair ends are
shortened along the length of hair or at the face line. The fringe and modeling are essential with
long hair today. One and the same basic hair cut is good to create various
images with the help of curling tongs, hair iron, combs and fixing styling
Today we do
not feel like wearing straight and smooth long hair cut to the same length. The
hair cut should be made playful, cutting the fringe or the ends.
A piece of
advice is given for all the ladies who prefer wearing long hair. Hot scissors
technique is more preferred since this style reduces hair splitting and sealing
the ends.
A fringe is
required to create the good image for long hair style. Today a fringe is not
optional or desirable, it is a must have attribute. Thick fringe is almost
forgotten, and it yields to the fringe with thinned out ends the same as
Penelope Cruz appeared at the last Oscar Award Night. The creative long hair
supposes to have a specially cut fringe when the ultra short French fringe is long
and closed from one side with the thinned out ends, the same as the Emo style
Fluffy back
is a trend for long hair style. If you like graphic images to have in your hair,
make accents on your back of the head thinning it out and lifting some locks.
Nothing needs to be cut for the supple styling, when the hair is lifted and fixed
at the back, teasing it. And the face is trimmed with the fringe by sides.
If you like
the style of '50s, wear the hair to the middle of the shoulder-blades to show
the expressive neck. A fringe should be trendy and classy, somewhat higher the
eyebrow line. The modern style combines the retro smooth lines and futuristic individuality.
remember of the haircut that is made to match the face type. If you have a long
face, you need to slightly shorten the hair to add volume to it with light
waving as Sarah Jessica Parker always does. «Cascade» hair style should not look
flat, but slightly tousled or curled. Curl the ends at the face line towards
the inner side and avoid long fringe.
A round face
requires «tearing» the hair to the highest extent, making the haircut modern
and natural, not at all smoothed, and drawing the attention from round shapes.
The sharp ends may be curled to inside and outside, slight waves look good also
which builds a tender and romantic image to keep far longer than the heavy
straight hair does. A fringe is a must have attribute again which framing the face
from both sides and the naughty and sharp fringe torn slantwise.
face and accentuated high cheeks reject the harmony with the absolute
smoothness and slickness of the long haircut. The hair ends are thinned out and
sharpened at the face line, the haircut looks smooth from behind thought the
contour of the style is not even and distinct but it tries to go with the face
balancing with its sharp features. The fringe should be soft, thick and
slightly at the side. The hair cut in this way may be curled making vertical locks
leaving the fringe. This hairstyle is highly demanded and is seen to go with
Jennifer Garner, Reese Witherspoon and many other celebrities who openly reveal
that long hair trimming is much more stylish things than may be imagined, and
the most enjoyable is that the haircut makes the face pleasant and attractive.
A student or a
business man, shirts are found in the wardrobe of any men living a social life.
Anyone following fashion tendencies owns a pair of slim fit shirts for any
occasions to distinguish against other common shirts. This kind of shirts is
less trendy for mature men since the design of shirts requires fit and athletic
torso which is rarely available with men over 45. Men's slim fit shirts are
good to fit with any suits, in loose manner, tightly fit in trousers.
Lingerie for women was just the plain underwear until the 20th century when it became the mean self-expression, as the subject of esthetic admiration. A piece of lingerie seen in between the women wear looked quite shocking to be shame and no one thought of designing luxury items based on lingerie, leaving alone works of art. Today every woman dreams of having a pair, or even more, of luxury and high quality lingerie to associate with sexuality, sensibility and attraction with male.
Lancome brand is appreciated globally as one of the most recognizable manufacturer of perfume and body care cosmetic products. Lancome is the brand to boast with the assortment of scents appraised by lots of women from all over the world. That is not the triumph for a day. That is the niche the brand keeps as the manufacturer of classic fragrances. So, Tresor launched in the 50s, the legendary and so romantic Poeme, and delicate Attraction that is demanded beyond the time. In the year 2008 that Lancome house presented another fragrance, Lancome Magnifique.
Florence Nightingale, also known as Elizabeth Arden globally, became the real revolution-maker in the cosmetic industry. The brand Elizabeth Arden estabvlished by Graham, was the one of the first companies that produced natural and high quality cosmetic products, indeed, acknowledged by the royal persons. Moreover, the decorative cosmetics are at last accepted in the political society thanks to the brand founder.

Kerala women can apply to be police sub-inspectorsMay 24th, 2008 - 9:55 pm ICT by admin
Thiruvananthapuram, May 24 (IANS) There is good news for women in Kerala. They can now apply to become police sub-inspectors. Home Minister Kodiyeri Balakrishnan Saturday announced that as the first step towards revamping the Kerala Police Act, women can now apply directly to be a sub inspector.
"Kerala is a state where there are more women than men and the leadership qualities of women have been proved beyond doubt. Hence, we decided that women also can apply," Balakrishnan told reporters here.
He said that male candidates may not like this idea, "but we will give equal opportunities to women".
"There will be no reservation for women for this post and they will have to compete with the men. The only exemption would be that they need not compete with men in physical tests," he said.

Most fitting race for Sith Inquisitor?
View Single Post
Quote: Originally Posted by

Also, here is something to consider about a Pureblood Inquisitor: they were a late addition to the game. Originally (aka a few months before launch), if you wanted to be a Pureblood you had to be a Sith Warrior. It was because all Purebloods are Force-Sensitive (those that aren't get killed as infants), and they are part of the Aristocracy. So the "Slave Discovered to be Force-Sensitive Narrative" Inquisitor backstory didn't fit with Pureblood's. It was only after a large fan outcry (on the Pre-Release SWTOR.com there were polls with thousands upon thousands of votes with around 75% of people in favor or Pureblood Inquisitors). And more importantly, a good number of Bioware Devs were in favor of allowing Pureblood Inquisitors. As a result, they were added a few months before release.
All Purebloods aren't Force Sensitive, there is at least one on Voss and probably more out there.
To the others, Purebloods aren't more respected than Humans, just more than the other species. Actual Purebloods are slowly being bred out, so pure genetic lineage is considered more important than a hybrid one.

We're doing a little celebrating today! Yes, it's Labor Day, so most everyone is celebrating! But we're celebrating for another reason as well...Today is Christopher's 4th cancerversary! Though is wouldn't necessarily be considered a happy day, we celebrate the day that we began this journey with the evil dragon. We obviously don't celebrate the fact that he has cancer, but we celebrate the fact that he has survived. Sadly, not everyone can say that they've survived four years with ocular melanoma. We have lost several OM warriors along the way. But I am thankful for the lives they lived, lessons they taught, and the fight they fought alongside us.
Awhile back, I came across this video of the story behind today's song:
I can totally relate to everything she said about this "redefining of the word blessing". The words she spoke that stand out the most to me are at about the 1:45 mark: "There is a blessedness that comes through waiting on the Lord. There is an intimacy in our walk with the Lord that comes through walking through that valley. There's a reliance on His Word that we only know when everything else in life fades away."
So good! And I can totally say along with her that I truly feel like I am blessed.
