Amazing Bedroom Color Schemes Which You Can Consider To Clear Up Your Confusion
Choosing bedroom color schemes is one of the most difficult and confusing tasks for many.
Before choosing the appropriate bedroom color schemes, you need to consider a few important points. There are many people who decide on a specific color scheme and end up changing it later, just for the reason that it was not what they actually desired. Your likes and preferences of your master bedroom color schemes tend to change over time. Thus, while choosing bedroom color schemes, you need to keep a few important aspects in mind, which will not only help you end up with the perfect color scheme, but will also ensure that you don't have to change it for quite a while.
A bedroom is considered the most reposeful place in the home. It is an area where you can relax and be yourself; hence bedroom decorating is an important aspect of home decor. Bedroom color schemes should be chosen in such a way that they are pleasant to the eye, stylish, and provide solace. With a wide range of colors available in the market, deciding on a particular color theme according to your predilections can be a really perplexing task. Following are few guidelines that will aid you in choosing a suitable bedroom wall color.
Here, some advice for bedroom color schemes!
Before considering bedroom painting ideas for selecting a suitable color scheme, you should first have an idea of how you want the place to appear. You need to decide if you prefer keeping it simple, amorous, funny, etc. Some of the common bedroom color schemes have been described below for your reference.
Ascertain the size of the bedroom and find out whether you need to make it appear larger. Also determine if you would really need to incorporate any particular theme in the bedroom or want to keep it simple. One of the most important factors that you need to consider is that the color of the walls should suitably match with that of the bedroom furniture. It is a very good idea to go to a nearby color store and try out several colors from the color palette. Doing so, would help you determine if you have picked the correct combination of colors for your bedroom. Try to get to know more on various color combinations. Another good idea is to get specific photographs of bedrooms having different color schemes from the color shop.
To get a rough idea of how the bedroom will appear, color a small portion of the wall using any specific color. There are several interior painting and texturing methods available, such as sponging and ragging, which can be used for experimenting on a small portion of the wall. When it comes to coloring kids' bedrooms, the alternatives are numerous, and you have the option of experimenting with different color schemes. In case of a boy's bedroom, you may employ bright and shiny color shades to incorporate a vernal color scheme. Whereas, for a girl's bedroom, you may employ pink or lilac colored shades on the walls. If you are finding it difficult to picture how the color schemes will appear on the walls, you have the option of browsing the web and trying out virtual interior painting.
All this talk about warm, cool, muffled colors and those for girls and boys bedroom can make you indecisive. In this era, when people are trying to bring simplicity to their life, colors can help a lot. Today, color schemes investing in shades of medium to dark brown are in the vogue. And to get the best of this trend for your bedroom, try mating green with the brown. It is no wonder that these are the most favored colors. This is the most natural color scheme known to the man since the time dawned for him. Shades of green and brown are the most prevalent colors in nature that we evolved in. Try this combination any time to get the result.
Bedroom color schemes have to be chosen in such a manner that they give an idea of your mood, likes and interests. Simply ensure that the furniture, bedding, and fabric color should also match the color of the bedroom walls.

Welcome to JGod_gaming in today's video I'll be focusing on how to play Carentan team deathmatch in Call of Duty World War two what I have up on the screen is the actual spawns for the sexual map in TDM so in the actual background I'm playing with bots again just to demonstrate how the spawns work how they flip and overall my favorite spots on the map I'll be messing around a little bit with the sniper I will attest that I am NOT a sniper by any means so just kind of playing around messing around so you can kind of just see how the spawns work and then what are some of the best positions to catch people off of spawn so pretty much for the opening rush depending on what side you're on and the actual map is kind of imbalanced.
I think you're just in general just because of the way the actual buildings position themselves in the middle you can actually catch people coming off a spawn a little bit worse on the right side of the map in the left side because at least there's a little bit of cover on the left side but pretty much when you run over here to this center area you primarily want to get in the buildings because of the buildings you're gonna have a little bit more cover you can position yourself in a way that and you can actually just hit people coming off the spawn so that you don't actually have to really worry or work for your kill looking from the middle buildings to the left side of the map where the spawns are there's approximately five or six windows that you can actually look out up and actually catch people coming off a spawn so a lot of times if you're in a group this makes it a lot easier especially if you don't push those spawns they won't flip because the distance is kind of far so pretty much as long as you're positioning the windows you're gonna be able to catch people coming off the spawn.
So you'll see me come around I'll look through this window peek that spawn this isn't the best angle but there are different angles so it just depends on which way you're gonna go so I stay in this building for a pretty good amount of time just because I know that the enemy can come in this direction that I'm looking I probably should have set up my UAV the right way so that I could just spam UAVs but it is what it is so now I'm repositioning because I feel like the spawns might be flipping it's kind of hard to tell but it's not the case because my teammates are still spawning and the original spawn so I come around through the middle triumph position to the other building since this building's windows actually have a little bit better vantage so I take out a few different enemies try and force flip the spawns a little bit pick up another weapon so I can have a little bit better shooting within the matches just so that you know it's not just the sniper but I go up again like I said up into the window just so I can actually peek there's actually this window right here is probably a really good one just because they can come right out that middle section if you actually had people on these other two windows you can actually catch people coming around that side.
If you have someone on the other end where the turret gun is you can actually get another vantage point so you'll see that as I reposition a little bit later in the match so still just kind of floating around the this isn't a fast-paced map by any means just because positioning why is this game in general you're supposed to play slower if you actually want to go on lengthy streaks consistently I'll see people that can run around and have super fast reflexes and all that stuff but that's not the norm so here you can see I kind of bounced to the other side get a different vantage point this one is a little bit better vantage point especially when you get into this spot and then the window not this window but the other one that I'm going to go look at in just a little bit I have a better vantage point from that side so it just really depends on what you like to do for the most part if you hold down the windows you're gonna do really well because you get a see people coming off of spawn they can't really get to you unless they sneak up from a side so it's really a matter of positioning so this entire time the spawns have not flipped I haven't had a lot of teammates run in that direction.
But I'm just kind of holding down this window you can actually get view to the mid spawn and then also that corner spawn as far as walking out into those general areas and since you're in a window a lot of times the distance is really hard for the enemy team to see that you're actually there unless they are you looking there or have lookout on which a lot of people aren't running looked out so it's just one of those things looking at the mini-map you can see that there's a lot of my teammates in that left spawn so the spawns are probably in position where they're gonna flip so now you can see the red dots on the original spawn that I spawned on right now it's just about repositioning on that side so you can see the spawns did flip I died and then now I'm over here in the left spawn so now I got to push the building and push that middle building again where I initially started my first set of kills and pretty much just moving around the map.
I know they're gonna be coming from that right side they're very limited on where they can spawn as you can see it's really a small area so it's just a really about positioning myself in a way that I can take people off spawn either through this doorway or the actual two windows upstairs are good spots it just depends on how you position yourself and play the actual map I just died again but you can see the spawns are still on the left side they haven't really moved I have a few teammates in the area so they're not really forcing the spawns to flip on the opposite side and pretty much just kind of maneuvering back to the middle of the map since the buildings are pretty much the more secure of the spaces so I'll come around the left side kind of peek it this is a long basically road that you can look down but for the most part the buildings are a better way to go and pretty much that's it for the this particular map I hope you enjoyed it I like to know your thoughts in the comment section below if you did find it helpful anyway go ahead and leave a comment I think I only have about two more maps left to do in this series and then I'll probably move on to use a domination or hardpoint let me know down in the comments section what you think you did enjoy the video in any way go ahead and click that like button and subscribe if you haven't already thank you for watching and as always have a great day

Jason Selch said he regrets walking into a conference room seven years ago and mooning his higher-ups on the corporate ladder.
For this, he was fired, denied $2 million in deferred compensation, and is now enduring headlines about his "$2 million moon," including one in the New York Daily News that read, "Hope it was worth it."
It was not worth it, in the end.
"It was significantly damaging to my career and it was very damaging to my pocketbook," Selch said in a telephone interview. "I'm spending a lot of time with my investors, trying to explain what happened."
Selch, 50 years old, is now a portfolio manager for Helios Energy Fund in New York. He is still rebuilding his life at a company named for the sun, and does not recommend flashing the moon.
"My wife is kind of devastated that it's in the newspaper," he continued.
"She's hearing from everybody. Whether this was right or wrong is kind of a topic of conversation amongst people we know."
From 1994 to 2005, Selch was a successful energy analyst for Wanger Asset Management in Chicago. He said he was part of a team that delivered strong returns to shareholders and built the firm's assets under management from about $4 billion to more than $20 billion during that time.
To him, Wanger was his life. To Bank of America, it was merger fodder.
Wanger, one of several funds acquired by Boston-based Columbia Management Investment Advisors, eventually became part of Bank of America in a series of mergers. Bank of America then sold Columbia for more than $1 billion to Ameriprise Financial Inc. in 2009. "For them," contends Selch, "this company was just a chip that they were moving around the desk."
Selch, who seemed measured and soft-spoken on the phone, said he became frustrated when the honchos decided to let go of a long-time friend and colleague. They did this abruptly, he said, without smoothing out concerns among co-workers. Everyone in the office was supposed to suffer it quietly. He decided to express his pent-up frustration in an unambiguous manner.
You have to understand: Selch studied economics at the University of Chicago, the global center of thought for lassez-faire capitalism. And there is nothing more lassez-faire than an exposed derriere.
"It was impulsive," he conceded. "It was basically only to let them know that they couldn't fire somebody without having any reaction from the surrounding employees."
After he was fired, Selch sued the bank for the deferred compensation that he was denied. He pursued the case for seven years, until he was delivered a losing ruling from the appellate court last week. Once the ruling was made public, headlines raged about his "$2 million moon." He has not spoken publicly about it until now.
Selch's immediate boss wanted him reprimanded, but not fired, according to court documents, including Illinois First District Appellate Court Justice Michael J. Murphy's affirmation of the lower county court's ruling. But higher ups at Bank of America wanted him gone. They also decided that while they were firing him, they would keep the $2 million he contended they owed him.
While the mooning may have been simple expression, court filings were not. Selch's complaint cited a letter agreement he reached with Wanger in 2001 that said he could only be fired "for cause." He also argued that a formal warning letter he received after the incident constituted a contractual agreement between himself and his superiors.
The court, however, ruled that Selch's "egregious" behavior voided his employment contract. And it sided with Bank of America' argument that at the time of his firing, Selch forfeited his deferred compensation, which would have otherwise vested a few months after his termination.
Selch's employment 2001 contract said it could be nullified if he was "fired for cause." It defined "cause" as a felony conviction, gross negligence, a material breach of fiduciary duty and — this is the kicker — "engaging in misconduct that injures the company." The appellate court ruled that the mooning was indeed injurious and denied Selch his pay.
Injurious is in the eyes of the beholder. The appellate court's ruling notes Selch's "mooning" was not done on his behalf, but because he was upset by the treatment of another employee. To me, he was selfless — he was standing up — or bending down — for his friend.
A wise corporate leader might have taken the time to a) laugh at this creative expression of protest, and b) wonder why a top-performing analyst felt the need to march into a conference room and do this. This was uncharacteristic behavior from Selch, whose immediate boss considered him too valuable to fire, according to the appellate court documents.
"If you look at its track record, Bank of America has not been good at building a positive corporate culture," Selch said. "It isn't a company that people are dying to work for."

Titanic star Leonardo DiCaprio has been spotted shirtless on a beach (whoa) and queuing up at Ibiza Rocks to see Dizzee Rascal. There are conflicting reports concerning his companions – some say he's here with a group of friends, others that he's with new girlfriend, Russian model Anne V.
Sadie Frost is back on Ibiza, this time she's brought a black bikini to show off her 44 year old curves and her not so curvy sister to make them look even better!
Famous Mexican singer Paulina Rubio who was recently spotted on the front cover of Pacha magazine wearing what appeared to be an enormous comedy wig was also spotted at the club's Flower Power Fiesta, one of her favourite Ibiza places, according to the interview with the mag.
Someone with more column inches than all the above three put together is Nacho Vidal, taking a break on Formentera, who told local paper the Diario de Ibiza that in his seven years working in the USA's porno film industry he'd only had time to go out and party 4 times – less fun than he'd had in North Africa during his 18 months in the Spanish Foreign Legion.
If you can't remember the plot of DiCaprio's best known film, here's a shortened version which just leaves the best bits in and omits all of the lovey-dovey scenes.

Here comes Quip, a new startup that's making the office-productivity software wars more interesting than they've been in decades.
Launched by Bret Taylor, the former CTO of Facebook and cofounder of social aggregator FriendFeed, and Kevin Gibbs, who worked with Taylor at Google, Quip aims to reinvent document creation and collaboration in the age of the tablet, according to a post on Quip's website.
Quip is currently available as an iPhone and iPad app and on the Web at Quip.com, with an Android version in a rough beta. It's free for personal use; Quip will charge companies with more than five users $12 per user per month.
Taking On The Giants
ReadWrite spoke to Taylor briefly Tuesday evening after the post went up. We've been tracking Taylor's new startup since last December, when a few mysterious hints about his effort sprang up on Quip's website, on Twitter and in trademark filings.
He sounded undaunted by the idea of taking on Google, his and Gibbs's former employer, and Microsoft, the big player in office-productivity software in the desktop and the cloud.
Taylor's argument: The rise of the tablet and the smartphone as users' primary computing devices is so fundamental a shift that there's an opportunity to reinvent productivity software.
"What's been disappointing is that the applications you have to use every day for work haven't benefitted from the mobile transition," Taylor says. "We're still stuck in 1998 in that software and the rest of the world has moved on."
Disappointing Docs, Overwhelming Office
It's hard to disagree. While Google Docs has shown it's possible to do word processing online, the Web giant hasn't broken free of print metaphors.
"One of the interesting things is that Google Docs is still on a virtual 8 1/2 x 11 piece of paper," observes Taylor.
In the '80s, the big innovation in desktop productivity software was the concept of WYSIWYG: what you see is what you get. What mattered was that what you saw on a screen matched what you eventually printed on a page. But what if you create documents that aren't ever meant to be printed—and that live on screens of varying sizes, not fixed pages?
"Our layout engine isn't just WYSIWYG—you aren't just positioning text on a page," says Taylor. "Your document will re-layout and re-format for the size of the screen, even complex layouts like images and tables."
In that way, Quip's product is the responsive design movement's answer to document creation. What others—including ReadWrite—have done for website design, Taylor and Gibbs hope to do for all manner of shared online documents.
"Our point of view is that by producing software that works exceptionally well in this environment, even though we're small, we have the opportunity to succeed here," Taylor says.
Quip's available now. Try it out and tell us what you think.

Greece hoping for fifth aid payout
May 25 - IMF and EU inspectors return to Athens to complete their inspection of Greece's reform program to tackle its debt crisis, as the country awaits payment of the next tranche of financial aid. Penny Tweedie reports.
Greece continued its uncomfortable path as IMF and EU inspectors returned to Athens to assess the reform programme to tackle its debt crisis. The financial inspection came as Greece awaits payment of the fifth instalment of financial aid. Because austerity measures haven't so far met targets, Greece is seeking to speed things and announced on Monday another 6 billion euros of cuts and plans to speed up a vast privatisation scheme. Greek Prime MInister George Papandreou warns a lack of political consensus could prevent more aid payments. (SOUNDBITE) (Greek) GREEK PRIME MINISTER GEORGE PAPANDREOU SAYING: "During these critical moments I am pursuing national consensus. I am completely open, as I have told leaders, to every good idea, realistic, productive, fair suggestion, from the parties and of course any responsible organisation in this country." A Reuters survey has exposed the extent the European banking system was sensitive to the Greek situation. It states any Greek debt restructuring would trigger a recapitalisation of euro zone banks, as Henk Potts from Barcalys Wealth explains (SOUNDBITE) (English): HENK POTTS, BARCLAYS WEALTH, SAYING: "The reality is that European banks have significant exposure to Greece to the tune of about 120 billion euros worth and of course a significant default will make it much much harder for other Europeans to continue to insure debt." Athens saw fresh protests over the proposed additional austerity measures. Another day of the potent mix of political anger and economic despair. Union members of the Public Power Corporation demonstrated in front of the company's offices calling for the reversal of plans to sell off stakes in the company. In Athen's main square thousands of Greeks gathered after a Facebook campaign was started to support protesters in Spain. The Spaniards are camped out on Madrid's central Puerta del Sol square to oppose the Spanish government's austerity measures. A French group is planning a similar demonstration in Paris this weekend to add their support. Penny Tweedie, Reuters

For those of you who know my new roommate David, you would have to agree that he has a strong resemblance to the late Joy Division front man Ian Curtis. Yesterday David and I got together for a fun photo shoot. The result was these photos-which I have to admit I'm more then most of the work I've made in these last few weeks.
If you haven't seen the movie CONTROL I highly recommend it. I'm a big Joy Division fan, and only have knowledge of the shows though stories I've heard. The movie really feels in the gaps were my experience can't.
As for David, keep you're eye out for him and Charles. They are coming to a DJ booth near you.

Early Retirement Planning Is Still Possible
It wouldn't be unreasonable to think that, following the financial crisis and stock market crash of 2008, most people who had any thought of retiring early would be making other plans right now. But, if you ask many people, especially those younger than age 50, they still have their sites on an early retirement. Is this just a pipe-dream, or do they know something the rest of us don't?
The fact of the matter is that an early retirement is not out of reach for most people. For people scrimping and saving throughout their working years, it's not a slam dunk, but it is doable with discipline and a some creativity. The thing that holds most people back from envisioning and early retirement is the outdated notion that you need to have a million or two million dollars in retirement savings to be able to pull off a comfortable life style. Obviously, the more savings the better, but by applying some simple techniques in your planning efforts, you could be exiting the rat race sooner than you imagined.
Know what you Really, Really Need vs. what you want
The first thing to do is to tear up those silly formulas that tell you need to replace 70 to 80 percent of your earnings in retirement. Who says? If an early retirement is truly important to you, wouldn't you be willing to moderate your life style vision? Certain things need to fall into place for you. For example, your children really need to be; and, hopefully your parents are healthy and self-sufficient. Considering that you won't have those large retirement contributions or mortgage payment (of course, that is key to an early retirement), so, your biggest expenses will be behind you. You won't need any more big toys, and you'll also realize that those expensive trips overseas are overrated. And, if you only dine out once or twice a month, you could easily shoot for 50 percent as a retirement income target.
Dial down Your Life Style Now
All of those things that you might have to cut out during an early retirement " lavish dining, travel, massages, Starbucks coffee, red meat, premium cable " why not cut them out right now? If an early retirement is your most important priority, you can not only increase your current savings, but you will also be able to ease into a moderated life style by practicing one now.

Along the same lives as a dialed back life style, it would also make sense to shrink your house and car. You won't need the five bedroom house anymore. Maybe you already had plans of downsizing at retirement, but why wait. You can reduce your housing expenses right now and save towards some extra retirement perks.
Convert Home into Income You Can Get Right Now
If you are going to trade in your big house for a condo you can shore up your retirement income by investing the equity difference right now into an annuity that will generate a guaranteed, inflation protected income that you can't outlive. For example, if you sell your home for $450,000 and buy a condo for $250,000, the $200,000 of equity proceeds can be invested into an annuity the generate an income you can't outlive. On top of your other savings, which might be invested more aggressively, this will provide you with a much needed income safety net.
Get Your Business Idea and Plan Ready
Most people who consider early retirement envision themselves pursuing another income earning opportunity " either another vocation or a business of their own. For most of us, retirement won't really be retirement, just the start of another life cycle in which we will learn, earn and become self-fulfilled. But, you shouldn't wait to plan your business. By starting it now, it will be generating a sustainable income by the time you retire " early.

Hello Everyone!
We are officially a listserv now. Welcome to the "Window on Iran"
listserv! It took just a bit longer than I thought. Now that the list
is up and working, the weekly updates should be back on track. Let us
move to the updates:
Current Issues:
* This week, Iran responded to the package of incentives
aimed at suspending its nuclear program with a 30 page
document which is not public yet. Comments from various
European and American officials point to the fact that the
Iranian government has given signs of interest in starting
"serious" negotiations while at the same time, it wishes to
save face by not suspending enrichment as a "pre-condition"
to the start of the negotiations. Some experts in Washington
warned against a hasty rejection of the Iranian response and
suggested to open up to Iran's indication of readiness for
negotiations. Such negotiations should ideally include:
enrichment suspension, the Iranian role in the region, and
keeping Iran accountable for its own human rights record.
You may read more on these at:
* In the meantime, a key House committee issued a
stinging critique of U.S. intelligence on Iran yesterday,
charging that the CIA and other agencies have failed to find
information on Iran's true intentions for its nuclear
program and its ties to terrorism! It is not clear how the
committee knows about these "intentions" and "ties" if
intelligence agencies are not able to find any information
about them. Here is the article on this in Washington Post:
A lot questions are asked about Iranian religious and ethnic
minorities in the west. Many people think, for example, that
Jews cannot freely worship. Some even wonder if Jews still live
in Iran. Again, I don't wish to present ideal conditions for
minorities in Iran. Iranian activists will tell you that legal
reform is needed with regard to minority rights. Furthermore,
modern nation-states are built on nationalistic ideologies that
— despite their rhetoric of national unity — marginalize
racial difference. The 1979 Iranian revolution further
emphasized such differences by fore grounding religion as one of
its organizing principles. Despite all of that, the answer to
the above question is: yes Jews — and other minorities — do
live in present day Iran and are very much a part of the social
and cultural scene. The main problems that the Iranian Jews face
at this point is the antagonistic relations between the two
countries of Iran and Israel. Not being able to travel between
the countries affects their personal lives.
The Jewish Community in Iran:
The current population of the Iranian Jews is estimated
approximately 30,000 (one of the oldest and largest in the
Middle East). The official web page of the Iranian Jewish
Association says:
There are about 100 synagogues in Iran of which about 26 are in
Tehran. Iranian synagogues in terms of the history and place of
construction have a variety of architectural styles. There are
several synagogues in Tehran, Yazd and Isfahan cities, which
because of their antiquity and beauty of architecture have been
ear marked as national historic sites by Cultural Heritage
The most widely known Iranian Jewish Scholar is Solomon Haim the
author of Persian-Hebrew Dictionary.
This dictionary is compiled by "Solomon Haim" (1889-1968), one
of the most famous Jewish scientists of Iran. He has compiled
the most well known French-Persian, Persian-English, and
English-Persian dictionaries and for this he is of high respect
and prestige among the people of Iran.

A Foodie Guide to Duqm
Rich curries, delicious sweets, and enticing grilled meat: the cuisine of Oman is sure to impress any serious gastronome. Take a bite out of Duqm the next time you visit and put these must-try dishes on your itinerary.
At our Park Inn by Radisson Hotel & Residence Duqm, you can feast on traditional favorites like grilled lamb kebabs and mint chicken tikka, or take your pick from a wide variety of European classics. If you venture away from the hotel on a day trip around the region, seize the opportunity to savor traditional Omani soups, sweets, and spicy stews.
The seas around Oman teem with fish, so you're never far from a fantastic seafood restaurant. Lots of traditional dishes use fish in some way, but mashuai is certainly one of the most impressive. A whole kingfish, roasted on a spit and served with a side of lemon rice: it's simple yet fantastic in its presentation. The fish is spiced with fragrant flavors including cumin, coriander, cinnamon, ginger and turmeric, while the rice often has a slight kick of chili heat.
Especially popular during the month of Ramadan, harees is a typical dish in the Persian Gulf. The dish resembles a savory porridge, made from coarse wheat instead of oats. The wheat is soaked overnight, then mixed with butter and meat, usually chicken or lamb. Harees has a long history, with its first mention appearing in the 10th century Kitab al-Tabikh, or Book of Recipes, penned by an Arab scribe.
Made from tripe (stomach lining) and pluck (lungs), this stew is only for adventurous eaters. It's a festive recipe, and is usually prepared around Eid Al Fitr and Eid Al Adha. If you don't mind the texture, you'll adore this fragrant dish, which is spiced with garlic, ginger, cloves, cardamom, black pepper, cinnamon and nutmeg.
The Omani answer to a biryani, majboos or machboos is made from saffron-scented basmati rice, cooked with spicy meat. Elsewhere in the Arab Peninsula the dish is sometimes called kabsa, but involves the same flavors and cooking methods. The spice mix varies from restaurant to restaurant, and town to town, but typically involves saffron, black pepper, cardamom, cloves, cinnamon, bay leaves, nutmeg, and black lime. Majboos is often served with a topping of sliced almonds or cashews and sultanas.
Sakhana is a thick soup, with sweet flavors that will likely surprise and delight those whose palates are used to western ingredients. Wheat, date molasses, and milk are combined to create this dish, which many Omanis choose to break their fast with during Ramadan.
Omani halwa is more than just a sweet; it's a symbol of hospitality and friendship. Usually it's served when you pop round to visit someone at home, but can also be produced in restaurants, souqs and cafés. It is rich, dense and sweet, and it's textually similar to European nougat. Often filled with nuts, cardamom, saffron, rose water, and other aromatic Arabic spices, halwa is the perfect accompaniment to a cup of hot, strong Arabic coffee.
Join Duqm in their celebration of Ramadan and Eid by indulging in an array of rich and delicious cuisine available at Park Inn by Radisson Hotel & Residence Duqm, You can conveniently can doze right off after a full stomach in the comfort of your soft bed. Check out our guide to experience unforgettable moments at these family attractions in Duqm that are sure to peak each member's interest!


text: I've narrowed it down to either a MM Stingray 5 or Lakland 55-02, possibly a G&L 2500 (I like the more traditional look) Anyway, I play just about everything from King Crimson to Metallica to Steve Morse Band, so versatility is a plus. Now, I know the Lakland is the clear winner in terms of sound manipulation, but I'm pretty good at EQing so although pickup blending at splitting is awesome it's not the end "all be all" Okay with that out of the way, I'm particularly interested in hearing from members who have owned or do own both of these instruments. And here are a few priority features I'm looking for: Good B string: clarity and tightness Versatility Utility of pre-amp Also, I know I should A B both, but that's not possible so help me out. Feel free to give other basses as well, I'm open to suggestions

Halloween is here!
As a kid I always loved Halloween. The only exception was the time I went out dressed as a bank robber and some older kids threw a bag of liquid pig manure at me. It exploded all over my back as I tried to run away and was the last time I ever went trick or treating. I did get more candy then ever that year though, so I guess you take the good with the smelly.
Now that I have kids of my own I love to let then pic what costume they want. This year Lauren is a Hollywood Star and Jacob is a Spider-man ( but it's some black and grey Spider-man....I have no idea what that's all about?).
Ethan's costume on the other hand is right up my alley. Funny story. The other day Ethan had tried on his Darth Vader costume and was wearing it around the house. After an hour or so Tanyia asked him to take it off 'cause we had to get ready for Hockey. Ethan said "No". Tanyia said to him "take it off or I will! " and Ethan still wearing the black cape, Vader mask and with light saber in hand turned to her and said in his best Darth Vader voice "Mommy, you don't know the power of the Dark side!". What a little goof.
Have a great Halloween everyone!
PS- As I was searching for a good Darth Vader picture to include in this post I found this Ad for a genuine Darth Vader Costume...how much? $794.00 US ! Crazy eh? I can just imagine that conversation "Hey Tanyia...umm... I bought something off the Internet and it's kind of expensive...but don't worry, it was much cheaper then the Death Star"

The trailer for this special edition was released last year but somehow escaped my notice until I read a comment on the 3-part Revisitations 2 review over at DVDActive.com. In case it missed the attention of any of my readers, I am posting this.
Day of the Daleks was the triumphant return of the devilish pepper-pots after a four yeare during which Terry Nation failed to sell his creations overseas.
Day of the Daleks is rarely mentioned as a favorite Doctor Who story or even a favorite Dalek story (though I quite like it), causing many to wonder why it is receiving the five star treatment with new special effects and enhanced Dalek voices. One glance at the trailer spotlighting the hard work that 2entertain have accomplished should put those queries to rest. A so-so story now looks magnificent.
Day of the Daleks – Special Edition
Starring Jon Pertwee as the Doctor
Day of the Daleks by Guy Leopold is a time travel story in which events from the future are trapped in a loop with the past creating a paradox leading to a dark world where Earth is ruled by the Daleks. This story was produced without Terry Nation's approval as Terrance Dicks and Barry Letts had not thought to ask the writer for his permission and just thought that a series opener with the Daleks would be fun.
Extra features
Blasting Past Documentary
Blue Peter
Cheating Memory; Documentary
Nationwide – Win a Dalek
UNIT: Dating Conundrum

Doctor Who – Day of the Daleks special edition is scheduled for release later in the year, based on the current schedule possibly Summer.

Evidence for high taxonomic and morphologic tyrannosauroid diversity in the Late Cretaceous (Late Campanian) of the American Southwest and a new short-skulled tyrannosaurid from the Kaiparowits formation of Utah
- 548 Downloads
- Citations
The fossil record of late Campanian tyrannosauroids of western North America has a geographic gap between the Northern Rocky Mountain Region (Montana, Alberta) and the Southwest (New Mexico, Utah). Until recently, diagnostic tyrannosauroids from the Southwest were unknown until the discovery of Bistahieversor sealeyi from the late Campanian of New Mexico. Here we describe an incomplete skull and postcranial skeleton of an unusual tyrannosaurid from the Kaiparowits Formation (Late Cretaceous) of Utah that represents a new genus and species, Teratophoneus curriei. Teratophoneus differs from other tyrannosauroids in having a short skull, as indicated by a short and steep maxilla, abrupt angle in the postorbital process of the jugal, laterally oriented paroccipital processes, short basicranium, and reduced number of teeth. Teratophoneus is the sister taxon of the Daspletosaurus + Tyrannosaurus clade and it is the most basal North American tyrannosaurine. The presence of Teratophoneus suggests that dinosaur faunas were regionally endemic in the west during the upper Campanian. The divergence in skull form seen in tyrannosaurines indicates that the skull in this clade had a wide range of adaptive morphotypes.

First there was the lovely young lady in the Mitsubishi SUV who, I surmise from her posture (looking down to where one would hold a smart phone) thought her text message was so important that she could, without warning, use any or all of the three southbound lanes on US 84/285 while heading, at a speed significantly less than the posted limit, towards the NM 599 offramp. I thought she was changing lanes and started to pass, only to find out she was just drifting along while composing what was undoubtedly something very important. I had to avoid being hit from the side and meanwhile, watched as she careened repeatedly between the three lanes. After a minute or two of this, I pulled over and called 911 after shooting this photo.
|"Don't mind me.
I'm busy multitasking."
And finally, to make it a three-fer, I pulled up to a red light by Los Golondrinas and looked in the rear view mirror to see a 4-Runner smoking its tires to stop behind me. I laid on the horn and drove into the intersection to give him space to stop without hitting me. The &$#@@!! doofus was still on his cell phone as he finally got his car to stop.
And Santa Fe is worried about large capacity magazines????? Yeah, sure.....piss and moan all you want about the hazards of guns in the hands of the mentally defective, but in these people's hands, a car is a deadly, and often used, weapon. I hope Mayor Coss and his city council understand that.
This is the second "threefer" I've had on the road this month watching people Driving While Stupid. Lest I look like I'm turning a blind eye to us cyclists,, one day last week I saw two cyclists riding to LANL doing equally hare-brained things, but a cyclist riding in the oncoming lanes on Diamond Drive between Canyon and Trinity is, most likely, only going to claim the Darwin Award for herself, not impose it on others. (I think she made the "diagonal left turn" from Canyon).
Is it getting wackier out there, or am I just lucky lately? If there is a lesson learned here, it is that we are more likely to want to impose controls on "others" while glossing over the need for more controls on "ourselves". A substantial fraction of the public drives, and few want to see themselves held to the higher level of accountability that is needed badly. 35,000 dead Americans per year killed on our streets and highways can't all be wrong.

CHULA VISTA – Relatives and friends mourned a 4-year-old girl Monday who was killed when she was struck by a San Diego Trolley while riding on a bicycle with her father Sunday evening.
A makeshift memorial for Veronica Ramirez, with several votive candles and a bouquet of five yellow roses, was erected just east of the trolley tracks where the two were hit.
The accident occurred about 6:30 p.m. in the westbound lanes of L Street at a railroad crossing near Industrial Boulevard, said Chula Vista police Lt. Vern Sallee.
Witnesses told police the father, who was carrying his daughter in a child seat, entered the intersection after the automatic arms that prevent vehicles from crossing the tracks had been lowered.
As the rider tried to cross the tracks, the trolley operator applied the brakes but was unable to stop in time, police said.
The northbound trolley struck the bicycle while going about 45 mph and the force of the impact sent the father and daughter about 40 feet down the tracks, authorities said.
Veronica, who police said was wearing a helmet, died about 30 minutes later at Rady Children's Hospital in Kearny Mesa, according to the Medical Examiner's Office.
The girl's mother worked on funeral plans even as she stayed near her husband, who was being treated for a broken hip at a San Diego hospital.
Police identified the father as Gregorio Ramirez, 34. He declined to comment on Monday.
Rob Schupp, a spokesman for trolley operator Metropolitan Transit System, expressed regret about the death. But he stressed that people must follow signals at railroad crossings.
"Whenever we have a fatality on our system it's a tragedy," Schupp said. "Our trolley operator sounded the (horn) and hit the emergency stop, but couldn't avoid hitting the bicyclist who had illegally entered the railroad crossing. When the crossing guard arms are down, you must stop."
The collision was being investigated by police and MTS, authorities said. The findings will be turned over to the District Attorney's Office, who could file charges, including a child endangerment charge, against the father.

Popular Nigerian Blogger, Linda Ikeji has been nominated amongst 200 Most Influential People of African Descent under 40..
She shared this on her blog and promised to get more gist about the nomination as things unfold.
Aww, look at me looking all cute and happy having a conversation with Abike Dabiri-Erewa, one of the people that inspired me to pursue my dreams in media. I used to watch her on NTA Newsline back in the back and wished I was her…lol. Living my dreams now…
Anyway, so I'm one of the nominees of the Most Influential People of African Descent. There are 200 people chosen worldwide and I'm one of the 21 Nigerians picked. *dancing*. Part 1 of the unveiling took place on Saturday March 25th at Eko Hotel and I was there with other nominees and guests. Will tell you more about MIPAD later.

In August, I was attuned for Reiki I, finally! I had only worked on 3 people since my attunement… until this weekend.
This weekend I went to Maryland for a wedding. I was there for about 4 days. During the chaotic preparations, the bride's maids were exhausted and stressed. Most of us stayed at the couple's house. There was much to be done. Every single day since being there, I performed Reiki on the girls, including the bride.
None of the ladies knew about Reiki or energy healing although some were familiar with the 7 main chakras. And ever since my attunement, I like to incorporate reiki into my scalp massages, so I thought it was a nice way to introduce this modality.
After spending 4 days with ladies I've only seen about 5 times in my lifetime, I realized how stressed out women tend to be on a regular basis. I gathered this through the girl talks every night after cleaning, cooking and wine.
After every mini session, all the ladies had similar yet unique experiences. But one thing in common was their satisfaction of relaxing and breathing for a few minutes without interruption, without being bombarded with mundane distractions.
As I was reading an article about reiki for cancer patients (I will write about that later), the quote below rang true to me. Ever since I began my daily meditations in the beginning of this year, I have an easier time dealing with daily activities or interactions. It gives me a sense of peace and purpose. It brings me closer to the Divine.
I'm glad I was able to help these ladies achieve this peace of mind, even if only for the weekend.
Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh often refers to the importance of stopping as a way to cultivate inner healing:
"At first, 'stopping' may look like a kind of resistance to modern life, but it is not… Humankind's survival depends on our ability to stop rushing. Stopping is not only to stop the negative, but to allow positive healing to take place."

Highway chiefs to lobby for more state funds
Capital Region county highway superintendents are bracing for the possibility of a 31 percent cut in state funding for highway repairs.
Fulton County Superintendent of Highways Mark Yost said he and a group of his peers from neighboring counties met Friday to discuss their strategy for lobbying the state Legislature against cutting their road budgets in 2009. He said the group will meet with state Sen. Hugh Farley, R-Niskayuna, in March to discuss the issue.
"We're going to tell the state Legislature that if any additional federal money comes they should very quickly put that money into CHIPs because CHIPs is like cash for town and county highway departments," he said, referring to New York state's Consolidated Local Street and Highway Improvement Program, known as "CHIPs."
The Fulton County Board of Supervisors decided to eliminate nearly all of the local part of capital spending for highway repaving and bridge repair and rely on $860,000 worth of CHIPs for 2009. Yost calculates a 31 percent cut according to tentative numbers released by Gov. David Paterson's office. He said the cut would force him to repave only five miles of roads when he had hoped to repave 14 this year. The funding cut could also lengthen the timeline for road repaving for the county.
"It would mean the roads we repave this year won't be touched again for another 30 years," he said.
Schenectady County Director of Public Works Joe Ryan said his department is facing a $500,000 CHIPs cut while it is already reeling from millions of dollars in unexpected expenses from the July thunderstorms.
"This is like a double whammy," he said.
Ryan said of the $3 million the Schenectady County Legislature budgeted for road and bridge repairs this year, about 40 percent was from CHIPs funding. He said the combined effect of state aid cuts and the July thunderstorms failing to qualify for federal disaster relief will substantially reduce his department's road repaving efforts for years to come.
Yost and Ryan both said falling asphalt prices could mitigate some of the losses in state money but it's impossible to determine how much.
"The days when you could get an asphalt price quote for the summer are over. The price changes day to day now," Yost said.
Ryan said county governments will need to make state and federal officials aware of priority infrastructure repairs.
"We can't just go to them crying, saying we need help. We have to tell them 'here are the things we absolutely need to do' and make our case to them," he said.

Designed and created with great care using only all-natural plant extracts, vitamins and other healthy ingredients, Leonor Greyl products give your hair more brilliance, more glamour, and more beauty –all with a healthy lifestyle in mind.
Many hair care product manufacturers take short cuts in their ingredients and production. Too often they use lower cost chemicals and harsh additives to achieve results –often at the expense of the well-being of the consumer. Not true at Leonor Greyl! Years and years of global sourcing of botanicals and natural ingredients and meticulous R&D and testing in the Leonor Greyl Institute has resulted in award-winning formulas most hair care manufacturers will never match.

text: When Media Matters counted all the guests to appear on 13 cable evening news shows on CNN, MSNBC and Fox in April 2013, their mission was to chronicle what the face of an "expert" looks like. It turns out it looks disproportionately white and male: Caucasian men made up 58 percent of cable news guests, although they are only 31 percent of the population. This problem persisted across the networks. CNN had the biggest diversity issue—62 percent of its guests were white men—but MSNBC did only slightly better, inviting white, male guests 54 percent of the time. The researchers broke down the results by show. On all 13 programs, male guests outnumbered women. On 12 of the 13 shows, white people were overrepresented. All In with Chris Hayes was the only exception. According to the Census, non-Hispanic whites make up 63 percent of the population, and they were 59 percent of Hayes' guests. Hayes did better than his competitors and colleagues on gender diversity as well, with 41 percent of his guests being women. (On that front, Rachel Maddow was his closest competitor, bringing in 37 percent female guests.) God only knows how much worse it would be if reproductive rights weren't constantly demanding media attention. The white maleness of the cable news circuit creates a self-perpetuating cycle. When most of the "expert" faces we see are white and male, white maleness gets associated with the concept of expertise. This, in turn, makes it harder for the producers of the shows to strive for diversity. Consciously or unconsciously, the people who book guests may worry that if they don't deliver enough white male faces, audiences won't perceive their shows as expert-heavy. So they bring on more white men, continuing the process by which white maleness and expertise are strongly, and wrongly, associated. One way for producers to throw a wrench into this cycle is to set diversity as a deliberate goal. It also helps to cover more stories that hold special significance for women and people of color. But the real trick to it may just be thinking of women and people of color as potential experts on all sorts of issues—on tax rates, congressional budgets and foreign policy, for instance, as well as on poverty, racism, and reproductive rights. If cable news leads the way, the imagined link between white maleness and expertise can be broken.

|1989 cover
Then I looked closely at the painting. The mountains weren't the Tetons and Jenny, a Shoshone Indian, resembled a white pioneer. Her face was pale, her hair short, and she wore a gingham dress. I protested vigorously to my editor. Not only was the cover inaccurate, it showed nothing of Jenny's proud heritage. I pleaded for a do-over: for Jenny to be in her native clothing, which was described in the novel, and for the Tetons to be authenticated. This is one of the most distinctive ranges in the West! That they and Jenny were generic, was a disgrace.
The painting was tweaked: Jenny's skin was darkened and she was given braids [PHOTO, above]. Dress was the same, ditto the mountains. When I asked why more wasn't done, my publisher answered, "Artistic license."
|2002 paperback reprint
Jenny Leigh was a real person. She was married to an English fur trapper and they had six children. She was so respected and admired, Jenny Lake in the Tetons was named for her.

I wasn't terribly surprised by the incredible response that I got to a recent post, How Rude…Ten Basic Courtesies for Children. It seems that we're all just a little fed up with living in a society that puts little importance on common courtesies.
I truly believe that manners must be instilled when children are young and if they aren't practiced at home, they're less likely to be used when away from home. I cringe at the thought of my children being anything less than courteous and pleasant to others.
How Rude…Ten Basic Courtesies for Children was by definition, quite basic. I could have gone on for pages, my list is that long. But, I thought I'd break my rants up into bite-sized pieces so that I don't look like such a rigid crazy person.
Becca, from bare feet on the dashboard asked that I offer up a list of basic table manners next. Thanks for the suggestion, Becca. Here you go:
Basic Table Manners
(This is a rather long list for little guys; try choosing a few age appropriate manners from the list and once you've mastered them, add accordingly.)
- Use your utensils.
- Sit up nice and tall. Don't hunch and keep your elbows off the table. (Sitting up helps with digestion.)
- Don't put too much food in your mouth at one time.
- Chew with your mouth closed.
- Never talk with your mouth full.
- Never burp at the table. Enough said.
- Eat slowly, chewing your food fully. Wait a few seconds between bites.
- Don't begin eating until everyone has been served.
- Don't pick your teeth at the table. Ever.
- Don't lick your fingers clean, always use your napkin.
- Keep your napkin on your lap. (Your napkin should be used only to wipe your face and hands—never to wipe or blow your nose.)
- Do not stretch across another person to reach for something. Politely ask for it to be passed to you.
- Always say thank you for your dinner. No matter how simple the meal, remember that it was made for you with love.
- If you are served something that you don't like, keep that opinion to yourself. Do not hurt the host's feelings.
- Ask at least one other person a question about their day and really listen to their answer.
Next week, I'll be offering up a list of restaurant manners, for your sake and mine!

Who doesn't love a giant scoop of ice cream on a hot summer day? What's your favorite? Strawberry, vanilla, maybe a wild and crazy rum raisin? You won't find any of that at the ice cream shop in Kennebunkport that TripAdvisor named 6th best in the country. At Rococo it's more like "Sweet Avocado Cayenne," "Goat Cheese & Blackberry Chambord Swirl" and "Olive Oil, Rosemary Infused Caramel and Toasted Pepitas." Yeah, those are ice cream flavors. Crazy right? I thought the same thing, but somehow the seemingly odd combinations work and keep customers clamoring for more. During a visit last week, one of the first questions I asked is, "What do kids order?" The lovely owner, Lauren Guptill, says kiddos go crazy for her Whoopie Pie flavor and she always makes sure to have a good-old chocolate on hand, too. So if you can't decide if you'd rather have dinner or dessert, you may consider trying to satisfy both sweet and savory at Rococo.

Norwegian singer Samsaya is making a name for herself in the music industry. She has been writing and recording music for over ten years, but is finally set to release her sophomore full-length album this year. An EP of some of her new songs was just released this year, on July 15th, which coincidentally is my birthday. A sign of good luck and fortune? Of course it is!
I had the absolute pleasure of watching Samsaya and her band perform in Atlanta this week, opening up for international sensation Lily Allen. This was my first time hearing the music of Samsaya, and I was captivated by the sound, the voice, the instruments, and the message. Being in the front row, I took it all in and was having a dance party on the venue floor.
After the show, I was able to meet and greet Samsaya, and even have pictures taken with her and the band. Each and every member was a complete delight to encounter. All were so humble and down-to-earth, that I felt like I was amongst family and friends. Even the guitarist recognized me, saying that he spotted me in the crowd and saw me smiling, having a good time. He was correct. This encounter I will never forget. Amazing people!
Samsaya's latest single, "Stereotype," is a message of love and acceptance, by not complying to the labels and stereotype casting found in the world today. She even paints a heart over her left eye for every performance, to remind herself that it's more important to see things through the heart, and with an open mind. Take a listen to her inspirational song, and watch the official music video below.

Dear Mom and Dad,
Wow I cannot even fathom how old I am. I feel so immature right now that I am basically 20 Years old! I am glad that y'all have been able to relax from the vacation that y'all had. I am excited to see the pictures and also hear the details of the trip. I am also excited for the seasonal packages and definitely how they will even more help the work move along. I am also excited to talk to everyone on Christmas and answer all of the unanswered questions that you have. I will be calling from the mission phone on Christmas and I have been told to figure out where you will be on that day so I can make the call :)
Our door contacting has actually been going very well. There are always the experiences where people do not want us there but we have met 3 or 4 very good potential people this week from door contacts which is better than normal. Joshua is filled with very kind people and is a very good area to knock on doors. One person that we actually found that way is doing super great and rode with us and the ward mission leader to church early so he could come to church. He waited in the lobby and read his colorful Book Of Mormon along side with his bible. The ward has done a great job fellow shipping him and he loves it. Also the recent converts in the ward are really loving the change in their lives. At first, it is foreign but with their friend from the ward they are strengthened. Most of the recent converts here were introduced by members helping them out even more. This past weekend the 26 year old daughter of parents who joined the church a year ago has brought her parents back into the church strong and has been super excited through her teaching process.
I am excited for the Christmas decor and I will send some pictures next week of our decked halls ha ha. I love y'all so much and I encouraged y'all to strongly focus on the true meaning of the Christmas season. As a missionary it allows us to focus on the true purpose. I would recommend looking on mormon.org/christmas it is amazing what the church is doing. I hope you all have a great week and make sure to bundle up. It is 35 degrees here soIi am sure it is cold at home.
Love Elder Shoemaker

Folks, I am going to Calgary for two weeks. Would not have been my first choice, because of the weather, but I am not yet in a position where I can be all that choosy. This is the start of a full-time, long-term, open-ended contracting gig. I am improving their iPhone shopping app. I will work remotely after the initial onsite visit is over.
The contractor company also got me a gig writing a small iPhone app, which I think will be about a week's worth of work. That one is currently stalled while I am waiting for another guy to do his part of the job. And I have yet another contracting gig that will start on Monday, through a company I found on my own, so I don't have to split the money with anybody. And there are another two companies waiting in the wings that I have had some conversations with, that might get around to giving me some work eventually.
I've been trying to find a way to make money on my own terms ever since I quit my job at the boring corporate company way back in 2008. These are the signs that I am getting a little traction.
If I have succeeded, it isn't because I got any better at any of the skills needed to make contracting work as a real job. I am still lousy at dealing with people and closing deals. My only "skill" is unwavering tenacity. (Well, my other "skill" is that I am a good programmer, but that doesn't matter very much at all, I have discovered.) I decided I was willing to be broke and homeless until I made it work somehow. I just kept emailing and emailing and emailing until I found some people willing to put up with my sorry ass.
For a good number of years, my long-term goal was to get back to the Bay Area and work for another A-plus tech company, like the one I worked at back in 2000. What changed my mind was the few months I spent working at home, at the tail end of my boring corporate job. I no longer had to commute through brutal traffic at the beginning and end of the day. I didn't have to sit in a stupid low-walled cube and try to ignore all the idiots around me. Every afternoon, the dog would guilt me into going for a walk with her. It felt like a chore to leave the house, but I enjoyed those walks at least as much as the dog did. An hour or two of walking and sunshine and real air, every day. That's as close to what they call "work-life balance" as I've ever achieved.
I didn't know it when I moved in, but the house I was renting was perfect for my chosen lifestyle. It had a couple of bedrooms and a garage. I lived right next to a public golf course. The dog park was only a mile away. I could never afford to buy a place like that in San Francisco, but locally, it is well within my reach. And if I can work remotely and live anywhere, then I can choose a place where the cost of living is downright cheap. I can have all those things and then some. And I can live all over the place until I decide. Amsterdam, Panama, Detroit, Thailand.
I used to fear getting older. But generally speaking, things get better all the time. The terrain inside my own mind is a calmer, happier place than it has ever been.


text: Wellington – Funeral service for SSGT Joe Rufus Owens, 90, USAF (Ret.) will be held on Thursday, April 12, 2018 at 2:00 p.m. at Anniston Memorial Funeral Home. Rev. Larry Bollinger will be officiating the service. The family will receive friends at the funeral home one hour prior to the service. Burial will be held in Post Oak Cemetery in Jacksonville with military honors. SSGT Owens passed away on Monday, April 9, 2018. He is survived by three nephews, Keith, Bryan and Tracy Owens; two nieces, Kay Caldwell and Robin Karnes; numerous great-nieces and great-nephews; and one sister-in-law, Patricia Owens Tolbert. SSGT Owens was a member of Post Oak Baptist Church in Jacksonville. He served his country, in the US Air Force, for 20 years, four months and 29 days, during WWII and the Korean War Era. The family would like to extend their heartfelt thanks to a special caregiver, Eva Woods, for her continued support and care.
