Set on the sea close enough to hear the waves lapping, this lovely waterfront villa is part of the newest development on Nevis, called SEASIDE at Cliffdwellers. Designed following traditional West Indian architectural features, Sea Change is a three-bedroom home with a large great room/kitchen facing the sea. The front louvered doors slide to open the house totally to the outside air and a very large veranda and sun deck.
Great spot! Perfect vacay rental! Cliffdwellers, Charlestown, Saint Kitts And NevisThe villas at cliffwelders was a wonderful spot. Incredible views of st Kitts and sunset. Clean and cute decor.

The service was wonderful. And the villa is fantastic. Lovely vacation. Will definitely return.
We are two couples on our first visit to Nevis. The villa was in the perfect location with a stunning view and beautiful sunsets over St. Kitts. It was just as described, but seeing that view over the infinity pool in person is hard to capture - the large open living area with the screened in porch was just the place to sit and enjoy! Villa was set up with absolutely everything we needed and gave us privacy as two couples and even a third would have been fine or good for a family with children. Everything from making reservations, to having the taxi/ferry service and car rental organized, and availability for questions was spot on. Only issue we had was that we could not get the in-house stereo system to work. My suggestion would be to get the operating instructions from the owners and put them in the guest book binder(which had all kinds of great info on the island in it). As for Nevis, it is truly a special place - unspoiled and perfect for laid back vacation. Exploring the island and visiting the plantations for a drink or lunch/dinner, swimming or cooking at the villa - all were great and we only wished we had reserved for another week so we could have explored St. Kitts, walked the volcano and enjoyed more lovely sunsets. We would definitely return and make it longer next time. We especially enjoyed Bananas (great artwork on display), Hermitage island night dinner, and the bars on Pinneys beach. Thanks Suzanne and Kirby, we hope to be back for another visit.
Sea Change is the perfect villa for a totally relaxing and peaceful vacation. We have been visiting the Caribbean for many years and have fallen completely in love with Nevis and Cliffdwellers. The villa is perfectly situated, very close to wonderful restaurants and only a short drive into town. The villa is tastefully decorated with furniture and décor that simply makes one feel at home right away. The bedrooms on the second floor are surrounded by a lovely sun-porch with wicker rockers, a perfect place to read and watch the sea. The large veranda, just off the living room and kitchen, provides a gathering place for enjoying meals or just relaxing while overlooking the pool and the sea. The villa, the grounds and the pool were kept immaculately clean and provided everything that we needed.
Suzanne Gordon, the real estate manager for Seaside at Cliffdwellers, was incredibly helpful and provided valuable information and advice. Her help with the arrival process, the rental car, and the settling into our villa left us completely stress-free and comfortable. While the villa does have air conditioning, we did not need it as there was a lovely breeze throughout.
If you are looking for a positively relaxing vacation on a tiny Caribbean island in a fabulous villa this is the place for you. We were two couples and we have already booked our weeks for next year!
House is located in the popular Cliffdwellers area in walking distance to beaches at Cliffdwellers, Jones Bay, Tamarind Bay, and Cades Bay. Restaurants include Yachtsman's Grill, Indian Summer, Coconut Grove, Oualie Beach Hotel, and Mansa's (fresh produce and BBQ). 5-minute drive to airport or Four Seasons; 10 minutes to Charlestown.

Anyway this weather calls for brighter days and what better to do on a brighter day than a garden party, so I thought I would invite you all over seeing as you all worked so hard yesterday : ). Let's just say it is my way of saying thank you.
I love spending time out in the garden during the summer months. All the different sights sounds and smells, it's like heaven, especially after being cooped up inside for the winter. So here is your very own whistle stop tour of my garden.

You can install lxc including some needed components by executing:
apt-get install lxc debootstrap bridge-utils lvm2
Then you should configure a bridge network interface in order to be used by your virtual machines. Therefore edit /etc/network/interfaces, comment out the existing lines for eth0 (or the interface you wish to use) and add the new bridge interface as shown below (you may want to assign a static IP address instead of using DHCP):
# The primary network interface #allow-hotplug eth0 #iface eth0 inet dhcp # Setup bridge auto br0 iface br0 inet dhcp bridge_ports eth0 bridge_fd 0
Now it's time to setup your first container. By default, lxc stores its containers in /var/lib/lxc (if you chose a different path while the installation, you need to change the path below, too). We're just creating a basic Debian Squeeze container:
lxc-create -n squeeze mkdir -p /var/lib/lxc/squeeze/rootfs debootstrap --verbose --variant=minbase --arch=amd64 --include ifupdown,locales,libui-dialog-perl,dialog,dhcp3-client,netbase,net-tools,iproute,openssh-server squeeze /var/lib/lxc/squeeze/rootfs http://ftp.debian.org/debian
Edit the container configuration file /var/lib/lxc/squeeze/config with the following content:lxc.tty = 6 lxc.pts = 1024 lxc.rootfs = /var/lib/lxc/squeeze/rootfs lxc.cgroup.devices.deny = a lxc.cgroup.devices.allow = c 1:3 rwm lxc.cgroup.devices.allow = c 1:5 rwm lxc.cgroup.devices.allow = c 5:1 rwm lxc.cgroup.devices.allow = c 5:0 rwm lxc.cgroup.devices.allow = c 4:0 rwm lxc.cgroup.devices.allow = c 4:1 rwm lxc.cgroup.devices.allow = c 1:9 rwm lxc.cgroup.devices.allow = c 1:8 rwm lxc.cgroup.devices.allow = c 136:* rwm lxc.cgroup.devices.allow = c 5:2 rwm lxc.cgroup.devices.allow = c 254:0 rwm lxc.network.type = veth lxc.network.flags = up lxc.network.link = br0 lxc.network.name = eth0 lxc.network.hwaddr = 00:F0:11:22:33:44
Before starting up your virtual machine the first time, you still have to do a few steps:
Edit the network configuration file /var/lib/lxc/squeeze/rootfs/etc/network/interfaces in the VM according to your network (by default it's left to DHCP)
Remove unneeded startup services:chroot /var/lib/lxc/squeeze/rootfs /usr/sbin/update-rc.d -f umountfs remove chroot /var/lib/lxc/squeeze/rootfs /usr/sbin/update-rc.d -f hwclock.sh remove chroot /var/lib/lxc/squeeze/rootfs /usr/sbin/update-rc.d -f hwclockfirst.sh remove
Set the root password inside your VM:chroot /var/lib/lxc/squeeze/rootfs passwd
If you want your container to startup at boot time, just create a symlink to your config file in /etc/lxc/auto/:ln -s /var/lib/lxc/squeeze/config /etc/lxc/auto/squeeze
Now start up your VM:lxc-start -n squeeze
To start your VM in background:lxc-start -d -n squeeze
To stop your VM:lxc-shutdown -n squeeze
To stop your VM immediately:lxc-stop -n squeeze
To clone your VM:lxc-clone -o squeeze -n squeeze2
To list all your VMs with their status:lxc-list
Show your current config:lxc-checkconfig
There are more lxc-* commands, but that might be enough to start!

Photos - Through a Monk's Eye
I am an ordinary human being trained to seek out "extraordinary-ness" in all that may seem ordinary. Looking through the lens of my camera, awaiting the "decisive moment," I click reality–or rather, I bring one of the many possible realities into life. My images are reflections of my world; my world is a reflection of my mind; my mind — at times still and at times chaotic — tries to understand nature in its many facets. Beauty and ugliness are part of my mind, whereas nature is a stainless revelation!
I am just a monk who by virtue of his studies has learned the art of appreciation. I find technology to be fascinating and cameras to be enchanting devices that help us pay attention, see with one-pointed mind, and be still!
In a moment of breathless awareness my camera tries to keep up with my consciousness, which registers people and events in a given moment. It creates a panorama of the world we live in–at times content and at times wishing for much happiness and peace.
A universe gains awareness as we become aware of it. A mind moistened by the compassion of the enlightened ones wishes to create a more altruistic realm of beings. This is the world through a monk's eye.
With Palms Together,
Tenzin Priyadarshi

Baby Brodrick Comes Home
Brodrick weighed only 1 pound when he was born four months early . . . read Brodrick's story

By Alexandria Cooper
Transitional Services Supervisor and CareStar HOME Choice Case Manager
I would like to share a success story with you about a young individual I work with named Brodrick.
Brodrick weighed only 1 pound when he was born four months early. His parents, Brian and Latoya, were more concerned with the fact that he was in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus than the fact their home was not yet ready for a newborn.
However, Kathy Garrison, a social worker at the hospital, suggested Ohio Medicaid's HOME Choice to the parents. Latoya says she thought the program was too good to be true because she and her husband are both employed full-time and do not typically qualify for assistance. Latoya said she was in disbelief when the Pre-Transition Case Manager, Rachel Dennis, with CareStar, called to assess Brodrick for the program.
Soon after he was approved for HOME Choice the Transition Coordinator, Liz Schwab with Franklin County Family and Children First Council, became involved in Brodrick's case. Latoya developed strong working relationships with both Rachel and Liz. In conjunction with Latoya, Brian and the team at Nationwide Children's Hospital, Rachel and Liz orchestrated a safe discharge plan for Brodrick.
Latoya and Brian are fervent advocates for their son, and it was a pleasure to help them with Brodrick's transition home. I am now involved with the family, and am working to ensure Brodrick's health and happiness. The parents provide a supportive atmosphere for their son, and because of their dedication and the teamwork of the Pre-Transition Case Manager and the Transition Coordinator, I now work with Latoya on anticipatory and preventative measures for Brodrick's health.
Having HOME Choice assist with Brodrick's discharge has improved the family's quality of life. The program also provided additional joy and anticipation for Brodrick to come home during a stressful time. Latoya said the bottom line is, "We got him home."
I look forward to continuing to work with the Brodrick's family to ensure his success in the community.

Now, we've already been down this road enough times now to know what usually comes at the end of it: the president's practiced pragmatism runs headlong into GOP obstinacy, and progressives surrender even more ideological turf. Well, the way things are playing out, it sure looks like history is going to repeat itself, and per former Bush speechwriter David Frum, Obama has no one to blame on this but Obama:
...the president could have included an increase in the debt ceiling in the December deal to extend the Bush tax cuts. The Republicans dearly wanted that extension. Obama did not use leverage when he had it -- and so he became a victim of leverage when he lacked it.
Then, as Republicans discovered the power of their new tool, the president decided to assume they were bluffing, that they would never actually do anything so reckless. Waking up to the reality of the situation too late, he commenced bargaining by offering what he assumed would be an irresistible deal. Wrong again. The Republicans did resist. So Obama offered an even better deal -- which predictably only whetted the GOP appetite for still more.And that's coming from a Republican, folks. But given the mere fact that Frum knows the seriousness of the situation and the importance of raising the debt limit, that immediately places him at odds with the overwhelming majority of his party that's long since hitched its wagon to litmus tests and an obstinacy that the president has only enabled further. More from Frum at the link, all of it worth a look.

Despite raging obesity, cheap drugs and discounted supermarket-brand booze, the average lifespan has continually risen to the mid-eighties.
30,000 days, on average.
It is universally accepted that come day 15,000ish, you'll get a mistress, re-mortgage the house, buy yourself a convertible Aston Martin… and subsequently get divorced.
It's what you do. It's your mid-life crisis.
It's when you feel irreversibly aged and unsightly: too old to attract sexual attention, make a career change or learn new tricks. It's when you realise that you've wasted your entire life nurturing your ungrateful spawn. So you befriend and emulate the behaviour of your children's mates. You buy a flashy car and clothe yourself in a manner that the only fitting accessory for would be mint sauce. You make a twat of yourself.
It's OK; you'll have earned it.
So at day 7,500 you should still be feeling pretty chipper, eh? Three quarters of your life stretching out in front of you. But today's youth grow up fast; drinking, smoking weed, class As and underage sex by your mid-teens… The advent of your twenties is starting to feel like the beginning of the end: "I'm twen-teen, twenteen!" I drunkenly cried on my big two-zero birthday party – never wanting to abandon the unquestionable youth of the teen-suffix. It stood for my God-given right to drop out, shirk responsibility, and repeatedly break the law with the impunity of youth.
But now you've stopped growing. You're no longer becoming something; you are slowly dying. It's all downhill from here; At least, that's what all my birthday cards read. But if you think that's bad, then there's always your other 'quarter-life crisis'.
Mortality rates are constantly increasing. We, as a generation, shall outlive our parents: So your twenty-fifth may well be the time for your breakdown…This is the landmark when you realise that it was already five years ago that you made a scene about turning twenty; Fifteen to Twenty had seemed epochal, chasmic – but this gap had been much quicker… And then you suddenly understand comments that old people make about time flying past; Gone are the days when five minutes seemed like an eternity as you were forced to sit on your Gran's couch to 'let your dinner go down', before you were permitted to go and play cricket with your friends. Time now moves quick and unnoticed like a snake in the grass. Years suddenly become a wholly faster affair and you finally understand that the older you get, time mockingly increases it's pace.
Your life will flash before your eyes and you'll realise that you never tried smack, or had a threesome, foursome, group orgy; you wasted years on the wrong partners; you wanted to be a fireman, artist, card sharp, stripper. But, as the anthropomorphic tongue of Death moistens it's thumb and mid-digit with spittle and snuffs your metaphorical candle flame – you become fertilizer.
That's what it's like to turn twenty-five.
It is of course trite to point out that you start to find clubs too loud for conversation, and you wish groups of eighteen year olds wouldn't sing along to the Goddamned jukebox in pubs. You start to find emo clothing too androgynous even though you spent your teens wearing an evening gown and tiara (despite being a hetero-male) – and besides, what's rock 'n' roll about constantly fussing over your neat, black comb-over?
I really needn't go on to state that, obviously, you don't know why anyone would want to listen to some chavver's lyrical take on romance on Myspace, despite personally supporting a DIY anti-establishment approach to the music industry; The problem with democracy being that most people are idiots, right? …They say you get more right wing as you get older.
You will, naturally, have no idea why anyone would want to recycle those 'Frankie Says' style t-shirts that you remember your uncle having when you were an infant. Why would you want to dress like Ferris Bueller, anyway? 1980's Nikes were still made in sweatshops.
We think, like every generation before us: "We were cool when we were your age – you, clearly, are not." Yes, these are your twenties, time to enter fruitless long-term relationships, get a six-month-long marriage under your belt, and develop a hitherto absent interest in automobilia and football. Your quarter-life crisis is most likely to manifest itself as the very antithesis of your mid-life one.
There is every chance that you will be a cooler person when you are forty-five than you will at twenty-five.

2015 Mercedes-Benz CLS Coupe Overview
2015 Mercedes-Benz CLS Coupe Exterior
The 2015 Mercedes-Benz CLS Coupe features flowing, sensual lines and a more aggressive look than ever before both in the front and the back, largely thanks to the recast LED headlamps, the "diamond grille" already seen on the A-class and S-class coupe, and darker, multi-level taillights. The headlamps can't receive enough praise: each lighting units contains 24 LEDs that can be individually and instantly controlled to create ideal illumination patterns without blinding incoming drivers.
2015 Mercedes-Benz CLS Coupe Performance
Under the hood, the 2015 Mercedes-Benz CLS Coupe is powered by a new 3.0-liter V6 twin-turbo engine that produces 329 horsepower and 354 pound-feet of torque. The 4.6-liter twin-turbo V8 on the CLS550 cranks those numbers up to 402 and 443 lb-ft via a nine-speed automatic transmission with hydrodynamic torque converter. Upper trims will offer a 550-horsepower AMG engine mated to a 4Matic transmission.
2015 Mercedes-Benz CLS Coupe Efficiency
Nine-speed transmissions should help improve fuel economy, but so far the 2015 Mercedes-Benz CLS Coupe mileage estimates remain unknown.

Had a fun day painting and playing around with my airbrush. Trying out the salt chip effect on some of my Dust Tactics buildings. Also used the micro mask again on the Attack helicopter, which is working well.
Even got in another game of Elder Signs which we won. Really enjoying playing this game, now that we are remove the insanely hard adventure cards from the fist draw if we get them.
I'm thinking of making up a playing mat for the game, that has placement locations for all the cards, along with a track for the elder sign tokens etc. Will see if that comes about or not.
Also scored some good Boxing Day sales, got Mansion of Madness game and an expansion for half price.

Used with Marco Benevento
A walk through the used record bins of some of the country's finest music stores with musicians, both famous and infamous
"I'm going to need to check my bag up here before I go in. Here, hold this."
Swinging his backpack off his shoulder, Marco Benevento motions for me to grab the stainless steel teakettle he's got tucked under his arm and then hands me what appears to be a quarter pound of weed wrapped in plastic wrap and stuffed in an old Ziploc freezer bag.
I stare at the bag and then back at Marco as he fishes his wallet out of his pack. In the nearly three years that I've been writing this column, I've been asked a few favors by guests rides to guitar shops, a slice of pizza on the way to the record store, maybe a beer or three.
This was the first time anyone handed me a copious amount of ganja, or any drug for that matter, and asked me to keep an eye on it for a while.
Handing his backpack to the bag check at Amoeba Music on Haight Street, Benevento grabs the kettle and the plastic bag of kind bud from my hands and nonchalantly passes it over the counter to the bag checker. The clerk glances down at the bag, doubletakes and looks back at us with the same bewildered stare I gave Marco a few seconds before.
"It's just tea, man," Benevento says with a laugh sensing the clerk's confusion. "But it's some good fuckin' tea. I just got it the other day, so take good care of it."
Appearance versus reality. At first glance, The Duo appears to be just another jazz-fusion group. On their debut recording, Darts, released in 2003, drummer Joe Russo's dynamic, relentless drumming drives a tight beat while keeping it loose enough to allow room for Benevento's shimmering, soaring organ fills and meandering clav leads, like a distant cousin of Tony Williams' 1969 groundbreaking album Emergency or Billy Cobham's Spectrum.
"Obviously Tony Williams, John McLaughlin and the whole jazz-fusion thing was big for us when we started," Benevento says. "Jimmy Smith and Dr. Lonnie Smith influenced me as they have for anyone who plays the organ, but Larry Young was probably the biggest influence on me. When I heard Unity (Blue Note, 1965), I was so blown away by the fact that he was playing the organ through all these effects, which was pretty new for back then. He had great tone and the way he put together solosit was like rock jazz almost."
But the band's true identity reveals itself on the hidden track at the end of Darts, a tremendous cover of Led Zeppelin's "What Is and What Should Never Be" augmented by the Slip's Brad Barr on guitar. Benevento points to the track as the moment when he and Russo began rediscovering their rock roots.
"That tune and covering Zeppelin tunes in general is kinda what started us down the path of what would become Best Reason to Buy the Sun," Benevento says, referring to the band's critically acclaimed 2005 release on Ropeadope Records. "We both came from that jazz-rock fusion scene with our previous bands where it was a lot of experimentation and you had to have a lot of chops. We did a lot of that, but over the last few years we decided to write songs and focus on developing melodies. We wanted to get back to our rock roots, which is what we both grew up on. That's what we tried to do with Best Reason to Buy the Sun, and a lot of new songs that are like that now. It's almost like a rock tune except it's missing the singer and words."
Just like any music fan, Benevento's tastes and interests change and evolve with what's going on in popular music, and the biggest story in American rock music over the past year has been the Canadian Invasion. The Canucks have captivated us, and Benevento and Russo are no different.
"There's a lot of good bands right here in the B section alone We might not even have to leave," Benevento says as we head into Used Rock. "Well, Arcade Fire is just up there and I listen to their album all the time. The Broken Social Scene has definitely infiltrated The Duo. I like their simplicity. Their albums are produced really well and their songs are nice and interesting to listen to."
Benevento glances down the aisle and takes off a moment later for the Bon Jovi. When I catch up, the New Jersey native is holding Slippery When Wet and imitating the woo-oh woo-ohs that open "Livin' on a Prayer."
"I probably heard them first on the radio growing up in Jersey," he says admiring the CD. "My parents got a 10-disc CD changer in like 1980, right when it first came out. I don't really listen to it that much anymore, but Joe and I have a band called Come on Falcon where I play upright bass and he plays guitar and we sing butt-rock songs from the 80s. We cover Livin' on a Prayer' a lot. The crowd always loves some Bon Jovi."
"Because we've been listening to all this rock music and expanding our own sound to include other instruments beyond the drums and keyboards, now Joe will also pick up the guitar and I'll move over to the piano and we'll do a country song," Benevento adds. "Or he'll get his electric guitar and we'll do a hard rock song. Or we'll lay down a beat and some samples and do some electronica stuff. And then we'll go back to where we started and launch into this crazy jazz odyssey jam. Our world has gotten a lot more diverse in the last few years as we've kind of explored the possibilities of our music. I wanna eventually get a drum rig where I can play drums and Joe will play guitar or whatever. I think that's what keeps us interested."

I currently feel that the fashion industry is an invented social construct primarily used to reinforce elitism, and provides no benefit to society and infact is often a overall negative.
To clarify 'fashion' I do not mean people dressing the way they want to, but more the industry;Catwalks, designer brands, magazines, the idea of 'trend' & 'trendiness'.
I believe that for example 70's style clothing looks worse now than it did, but merely that the culture has changed and now its suggested its unattractive or not appropriate, though if worn well someone could easily wear a 70's style and look good(good being attractive to possible mates and comfortable with themselves)
Mostly looking good is about finding a mate and gaining acceptance within your local community & peers,
>>biologically we want to breed, an activity which is usually done naked
>>if you're comfortable with your style your friends will except you however you dress (within reason eg; cleanliness, not garish)
The fashion industry is about money, the reason trends and what's 'in' changes rapidly, is to sell more clothes.
Expensive designers produce crazy, unwearable clothes because most sensible perfectly reasonable clothes have already been designed and crazy is a way to 'look' creative and advertise your main line of clothes which usually bear almost no resemblance to what you seen on 'high fashion' catwalks.
The net negative of the fashion industry resides on its effect on women's confidence, creating an illusion most men care about how fashionable women are, when in fact most men are attracted to confidence and a sense of style that suggests shared values (or cleavage, cleavage tends to attract a lot of men however you dress).
apologies for the essay!, fight me prove me wrong, or at least expand my opinion.
Side note; first debate please PM me with anything you find wrong with the design/structure of this debate, I'd appreciate constructive criticism cheers.
2. It has nothing to do with elitism, as shown in my first point it's just economics.
"it's just economics"
True, but then everything is economics, economics is the study of behaviour of individuals and there actions, my argument is that the defining motivator for individuals to engage in the 'fashion industry' is one of obtaining and displaying a higher social status.
Your statement that's it's due to supply and demand is not relevant to the debate(the question is; what is the primary social cause of the demand?
Like I said in my opening statement, the fashion industry is a industry. People don't just buy nice clothes to obtain that social status, they buy cause it's a interest that people take, wealthy people all the time will wear trashy clothes cause they don't care about clothes. People buy clothes depending on their personalities and interests, which is why it's economical.
"they buy cause it's a interest that people take", yes but what is the defining reason for the interest, people have an interest sport for the excitement of watching their team win, but in fashion what other advantages other than a bonus to social status, and the additional attention and comments you could receive?
"wealthy people all the time will wear trashy clothes cause they don't care about clothes", yes these are people who do not engage in the fashion industry, and thusly not relevant to the debate.
"People buy clothes depending on their personalities and interests" - of course, but do the people who buy the latest designer brands do so because they have a 'Gucci' personality?
Do some people buy expensive designer clothes because they are interested in fashion, I wouldn't say no but when spending thousands on a bag is someone really thinking I hope this helps them finance more interesting designs or are they thinking how much attention they'll get from wearing it?
"which is why it's economical" - all decisions are economical, again this has no bearing, the debate is to discuss the reasons for these 'economical' decisions.
2. Like I've stated three times, fashion is a hobby, a interest, just like sports are. People buy and sell and wear clothes cause it's a hobby they have. My good friend who's a girl is middle class yet wears extremely fancy clothes and such as she wants to go into clothing design cause it's an interest to her. People get involved in fashion not for social status but for economic reasons or an interest in fashion.
You have failed to provide reasonable evidence as why it has anything to do with social status and just simply try to make my arguments irrelevant when they are extremely relevant since they prove my points.
"The fact that many wealthy people don't partake in the fashion industry shows that fashion must not have anything to do with social status" - no it doesn't, it only proves you can be rich without having an interest in fashion, agreed, but also not relevant, my argument is that people use fashion to reinforce and advertise their social status, if you're rich you don't have to buy expensive clothes but if you're not rich you can't, I'm arguing that there are some who can afford designer clothes and buy them to display their higher social status.
Your argument is a Propositional fallacy -- http://en.wikipedia.org...
"People buy and sell and wear clothes cause it's a hobby they have" or "People get involved in fashion not for social status but for economic reasons or an interest in fashion" -- Yes this is true, but why is it an interest?, clothing for millennia was purely used for warmth, protection and a display of social status, why do people wear designer brand, do they provide greater warmth or protection from the elements?
Its the same with cars, you want to go fast you buy an ariel atom, you want to show off your wealth you buy a Ferrari.
"You have failed to provide reasonable evidence as why it has anything to do with social status" - have you seen anyone on the red carpet wearing a store bought dress? Do bankers wear off the rack suits? have you seen royalty wearing khaki's? Clothes have throughout history been a sign of social status I now hand you the burden of proof to show why things have changed.
"just simply try to make my arguments irrelevant" -- that's debating, also they don't prove your points they're vague and full of fallacies.
I would like to point out to all voters that the affirmation has only Rebuttles all my arguments and failed to present any logical, and reasonable evidence for his side of the debate. I brought up many sufficient and logical points to support my argument that fashion is simply another industry like all the rest that supply and demand effects. It has nothing to do with social status. Since the affirmation failed to debate for his side effectively, only tried to keep turning the debate around from my logical points, and that my side is common sense I urge a vote in negation.
Unlike my opponent I kept my arguments short, sweet, and to the point while my opponent dragged out long and dull arguments.

[*Reason for removal*] This RFD voted based on the wrong point categories. Having better arguments is not relevant to conduct or S&G. Even had this user awarded argument points, this RFD is still insufficient because it is far too generic in its explanation. It doesn't even say *that* Con had better arguments: it says both debaters were equally good. And it makes no attempt to explain *why* Con had better arguments.

Vehicle Operation
Nissan in collaboration with École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne in Switzerland (EPFL) are developing a brain computer interface for vehicles. The EPFL has already conducted research to help disabled people maneuver their wheelchairs with their with a BCI system and their thoughts. For them, the next logical step would be to bring this technology to drivers. Along with brain signals, the Nissan/EPFL team is using eye movement, environmental data from around the car, and car sensor data to help the system make decisions on the road. These experiments could provide handicapped individuals with the ability to control a vehicle and also help increase driver safety.
German scientists have been successful in using a drivers brain waves to assist in braking a car. The electrical signals indicating a will to brake were seen 130 milliseconds before the participant began braking. With data acquired through their research, brain signals that indicate an emergency braking response have been identified and this sensory technology could reduce accidents caused by human error.
Ferrari is also working on a similar project, but the sensor is located on the steering wheel and measures psychometric and biometric responses. These responses include, blood pressure, heart rate, eye blink rate, perspiration, temperature, and brain activity and could help prevent accidents in the future.

Interface."TechTalk@KPITCummins 5.1 (2012): 10-18. Web. 6 May 2013.
Of course this use of BCI could be implemented in any human controlled vehicle or device. Plane, train, boat, and machine operational safety could all benefit from these sensors, but are there any downsides?
Questions to Ask Yourself Regarding BCI as Safety Enhancers
What are the potential benefits of these sensors? Are there negatives?
Who will have access to this increased safety?
How would this affect the automotive industry or any of the other industries mentioned above?

It's 11:25 in the morning and I think I really just need to go back to bed. I've pretty much felt that way since 9 a.m., approximately an hour and a half after I got up. Today is one of those days where I just need to lay low.
Or lay down, period.
On the plus side, the plumerias are blooming. So are the lotuses. And these trees that are pretty much 100% comprised of bright yellow flowers that kind of exploded into bloom all at once. Makes for a nice distraction from the fact that it's burning season and the sky is in full apocalyptic haze.
We also discovered one of our favorite coffee places now does cold brew – finally! Ice coffee that doesn't require milk or sugar. You can see we got so excited we spilt our milk.
Ok, it's now 11:31, and that 6 minutes of effort has officially sapped me of my remaining energy. I'm going to crawl back into bed. I hope you're all in good health & energy! Go do something fun and exciting on my behalf.
Happy Tuesday!

How to Save Hundreds of Dollars a Year on Skin Care Products
As a plastic surgeon, I know that women spend a lot of money on skin care products. Go to any cosmetics counter and you'll face hundreds of different beautifully packaged skin care lines that claim to keep us looking young forever. Sadly, the truth is they just leave us feeling deflated. From skin-quenching daily serums to nutrient-rich creams, the cosmetic industry is full of smoke and mirrors. We're all looking for that elusive magic bullet--that one system of products that delivers on its promises.
Many women who come to my practice have, over the years, switched their skin care products constantly out of a sense of confusion and hope. They're often disappointed with what they are using because they have no systematic method of skin care. They're throwing a lot of money into these pricey creams and lotions but often with little to show for it except for more wrinkles and a lighter wallet.
The best approach for maintaining beautiful skin is protecting what you already have
Do you know what, hands-down, is the most effective, anti-aging lotion?
Hint: It isn't one that you need to mortgage your home for. It may not be sexy, but the answer is a broad-spectrum sunscreen, one that provides protection from both UVA and UVB rays. UVA rays are present all year long, rain or shine, and they are the source of most of our wrinkles and leathery skin over time. UVB rays are the ones responsible for giving us freckles, tan, burns and skin cancers. Broad spectrum means that you're covered for both UVA and UVB.
It may surprise you to know that most of what we consider to be the signs of normal aging–wrinkled, old looking skin, is really just photo-damaged skin. Guess what? It's highly preventable. A good sunscreen should be the basis for your daytime skin care regimen. Everything else is secondary. If your sunscreen is of good quality, you probably won't even need to use moisturizer under it!
Face the facts and save
So how many daytime products do you really need? The answer is only two. If all you do is invest in a daytime regimen of a broad-spectrum sunscreen and a good quality topical antioxidant, those two products combined are the most potent anti-aging skin care regimen you could possibly have.
Topical antioxidants that contain Vitamin C or a combination of Vitamin C + E can be used under your sunscreen during daytime hours to super-charge its efficacy. These specially formulated antioxidants work with sunscreens to boost their protective qualities and to help repair the damage that does make it through.
So throw out those three- and four-step skin care systems and say goodbye to fancy formulas. There is no doubt in my mind, that combining a topical antioxidant with your sunscreen will give you a simple, affordable, "less is more" system of skin care that makes sense. For both your skin and your pocketbook.

It Is What Makes Me... me.
I've been talking to an old friend about the things that make us who we are. It's where we are from but much more than that. It is where we are and how we got there and the people who sang us their songs along the way.
I am back in a City. It's a community within a city. It's the people you know and which streets you use to get where you're going. It makes a big difference. Do you take the back roads or do you always get on the expressway? Because there are cities within cities and your boundaries define your limits.
People have said to me a million times: I didn't realize you grew up in town. You don't sound like you grew up in town.
That's because I didn't. I lived in town, but that is only a part of where I grew up. I grew up in farm fields, and county parks. I grew up with my feet in the streams and rivers and the storm drains. I grew up in our family van driving the back roads of America looking for pieces of history and culture that most people never see. I grew up with my friends sitting on the edge of the levee and lying in the leaves.
Sometimes my new City reminds me of home. On Saturday mornings it smells like lawn mower exhaust but this morning it smells like rain soaked lilacs. With a window open I can hear dogs barking and kids playing somewhere down the sidewalk. Other times it reminds me that here, old men speak using accents that my brain lags a good 3-4 seconds behind in comprehension.
Stories swirl around you in Cities. Waiting to be sung.

The mask allows the sand blasting process to etch your house number without damaging the rest of the plate. The sign is then sandblasted, by hand, by one of our experienced craftspeople, who then proceed to hand paint the number in your chosen colour. When the plate is fully dry, the mask is removed and the sign is cleaned and made ready for dispatch. Finally the sign undergoes our rigorous quality control procedure and is signed off ready for delivery.

Update to Home Banking Article
Tod Wicks
I published an
article last month
that exposed Bank of America's HomeBanking scheme as little more than another means of ripping off the public with a non-essential service. This service was advertised as a form of electronic banking through use of your home computer. The ripoff was that, while bank branches were closing and personnel were being laid off (saving the bank several million dollars a year), the HomeBanking service would cost the user $8 a month for services that were normally provided by the bank through normal means, such as telephoning to check your balance.Thus, the bank was saving money by reducing branches and personnel and charging users of HomeBanking an overhead for helping the bank to reduce personnel by using electronic means to gain information.
Since writing that article, I have spoken with a former employee of Bank of America who also happens to be a home computer enthusiast. His first comment was, "How true, how true," when asked about the article. He also described his own experience with the service. If you were among those who signed up late last year, the introduction included the first four months free of charge. My source, always spotting a good deal, signed up.
His first complaint was that the designers of the program at BofA, wanting to be the first on the market with such a service, opted to have the display on your home terminal screen come up in a 40 (characters across) by 17 (lines down) format, this being the least common denominator. It is apparently the screen size of an Atari or some such. To use this format on most other terminals, such as Apple or IBM, the lower half of the screen is blank, and somewhat annoying. My source and I agreed that a simple user profile table in the main program would allow the new user to specify the screen format desired. This could be done as an answer to one of the questions on the application form, or done at the time the new user first logs onto the system. This sort of table is used extensively by operators of such computer bulletin board systems as STUART II to customize the format of each user.
My source also said that what you get is not all that hot for even the $4 per month employee fee; that only the most dedicated of computer hackers would find it worth the price. It is also interesting to note that you don't have to have a home computer to use HomeBanking. A terminal that connects to the phone line will actually do the same thing.

text: I've been denied by ChaCha about 3-4 times, but I keep trying. I have a pretty successful twitter page. Can't post links yet but my twitter name is 53xFacts and I have 94k followers as of right now. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I've seen a twitter page with 10k followers that was an affiliate, yet I keep being denied. Mylikes and Opiniads keep ripping me off so ChaCha is my only option as a pay per click revenue. Thanks

A new type of bonsai produced by a youth dispatched to a local government in Nagano Prefecture through a program called "the local community development caravan" is now gathering attention for its potential of becoming a new local specialty.
The producer of the new form of bonsai art, called sumibon in Japanese, is Tomonobu Asano, 35. Currently, he works in Nobushina, Nagano Prefecture, mainly to make better use of idle lands. Asano, who started to help the region in June last year, learned one day that an 82-year-old local rice farmer, Chikao Sekiguchi, makes charcoal on his own and enjoys sumibon as his hobby. Then, the two men worked together to improve its quality and commercialized it in April this year.
To make sumibon, they make a hole into a piece of charcoal and plant young nandinas, Ezo spruces, and other local mountain plants. As charcoal retains water, the bonsai in a charcoal container would last for more than one year if you give water moderately.
Asano sells the bonsai in charcoal containers made by Sekiguchi and with 50 different kinds of plants at events and festivals in Tokyo and its surrounding area. So far, he sold approximately 200 sumibon. Asano said he wants to make sumibon a new local specialty. Sekiguchi said he wants people to feel and enjoy the scenery of Nobushina region reproduced in the charcoal pot. Its pricing starts from 2,800 yen.
