1 cosy double bedroom in Earl's Court (London)
Before starting the description, there's something I'd like to say.
My current flatmate is moving out hence I was thinking to move out my current place as well. So I started to look for flatshares in zone 1 and 2.
After two weeks, I can tell you I've seen so many messy, dirty, cold, and small places that you can't imagine. I thought my flat was a bit pricy but trust me, if you're looking for a quite, confortable and warm place that you can consider like a real HOME, with no annyoing agents keep coming in and out, this is the place for you.
****Flat description*****
Cosy apartment in a beautiful Victorian building locate 50 meters from Earl's Court tube station. This means in 2minutes walking you have three tube lines: Picadilly line, District, and Cirle line.
The apartment has the following features:
- 2 bedrooms
o The bedroom available that you will rent is a double bedroom, with a
desk, a big wardrobe with a big mirror, and some drawers available as
- 1 bathroom perfectly working, very tidy and clean. This seems a small thing, but trust me a CLEAN and bathroom makes a big difference!
- Kitchen
- Dishwasher
- brand new washing machine
- Reception / living room
o As you can see from the pictures, the living room is next to the kitchen.
It has a super comfortable sofa (you will see how easy is to fall asleep
and have a nap on it!), a table, and there's also a big Television where we
can plug your PC and watch movies
- Unlimited internet connection and unlimited phone calls to European land
phone numbers!
- Flat in fantastic condition, and when it gets cold in winter time the flat is
always really warm
*****Cost and contract*****
- The cost of the rent is £200 pw plus bills.
- Bills are: internet: £15 pm each, cleaner twice a month £30 pm each, council around £50 pm each, plus water/electricity and gas that usually range from £50 pm each to £80 pm each
So totally bills vary (depend on the season) and are approximatively Protected content
- Deposit is equal to 6 weeks rent payment, it means you will have to pay £1, 200.
You will pay the deposit to the landlady (that is also a real estate agent) who will deposit it in a new deposit account for you
- The contract is a 1 year contract, with the 6month break clause
When you will move in, the flat and your bedroom will also be professionally cleaned by an external agency. This seems nothing special, but again you will see how many place are available where you will have to clean on your own...
*****Your flatmate!*****
- I'm a 28 years old, professional, working in the financial services industry
- I'm an Italian engineer from Milan, and I've been living in London for 2
- I work a lot during the week so please no parties at home during
- I love sports, especially football and tennis!
- I'm a sociable person who likes to have occasional dinner at home
together, watch movies, cook
- I'm looking for a professional person.
- I'd like to find somebody easygoing and sociable with whom share once a
while a glass of wine, dinner, a movie. Nothing special really, but a simple
and nice person is always very welcome!
*****The location / area*****
The flat is located 2minuts walking from Earl's Court tube station. This is really convenient, since you have the Piccadilly line plus the Circle and District Line. Even better, you can take whatever District line you have available, because all of them pass through Earl's Court.
When you go out in night time, there's the bus N97 living directly from Piccadilly Circus and stopping exactly in front our flat.
The area is full of amazing restaurants. For example, we have next to our flat a delicious Chinese restaurant and behind our flat another really good and cheap French restaurant as well. Again, just next to our flat there's a laundry where you can leave 5 shirts for 6 pound!
There's also one M&S and one Sainsbury on the right hand side of our flat, and one huge Waitrose on the left hand side. The whole area is lovely, with fantastic Victorian buildings and parks.
*****Contact information*****
Since during the week I work a lot and my job is very intense, please send me an email if you want to have more information / schedule a viewing.
If possible please don't call during day time (till 6pm) because due to my job I'm often on the phone with clients and can't pick it up.
Please tell me a bit more about yourself, who you are, what you do and…. Let's organize the viewing !

Garlic Beef Pepper Rice.
Very pricey for a very small serving. I added additional beef here that's why it looks like huge serving. Paid a total of 260 for this. 215php sa regular na GBPR plus 45php para sa additional beef. Dahil kung hindi ka magpapa additional, jusko parang kanin lang talaga kakainin mo. Though masarap naman.
Pero kung kumain ako sa fastfood... Sa 260, nabusog nako.. at baka may pang tall SB pako. Kaloka! Hehe

Thank you to the staff!!!
Went to Caloocan yesterday to pick-up my new puppy! Then all the way to Eastwood to have a vet check to make sure that she is okay... Bought doggie essentials too!🏻 Bf and I were so hungry afterwards!!!🏻 Di pa naman ako pwedeng gutumin!
So we just went to Pepper Lunch and stayed on one of their tables outside... They let the puppy rip up tissue under the table... She also ran around a little bit, but the staff just found her funny... we cleaned up after, but it was really nice that they were so understanding to pets & their humans...🏻

I usually visit Pepper Lunch for their Beef Pepper Rice. It's the most affordable and sulit meal on the menu for me. But today, I wanted more... More beef! Haha
I ordered Hamburg Steak with BBQ Beef for 320 php. Yikes! A bit pricy for my lunch. It already comes with plain rice, so if you want to upgrade it to Pepper Rice, you need to add 40 php. Pricy huhu!
The hamburg was just fine but not that delicious as I remember, while the BBQ beef was too fatty. The bean sprouts were not that good also so I didn't ate all of it.

If you really want food absolutely freshly cooked. Well this is the place, literally cooks in front of your eyes. With a fancy shmancy hot plate that cooks you food. Tasty because you add the sauce. Costly because it just is. Hot, really! Not a bad place to visit every once in a while.

Yknow when you're working at a place like Eastwood, there are many restos scattered all throughout the vicinity. And there's Pepper Lunch!
PLACE: Just right for diners. Not really crowded when we got there though it was lunch time.
FOOD: I tried the Beef Pepper Rice and I couldn't help myself but to enjoy even if its hot. I'm not a rice person but the taste of beef pepper rice is just right for me. The corn and pepper just made it right. I also tried their Black Sesame ice cream..umm, not bad but it was just okay.
PRICE: P180 (Depends on the location) Additional P60 for Softdrinks + Black Sesame Ice Cream
LOCATION: Eastwood Mall near Cinema Complex

I really just order the beef pepper rice every time i visit! I am not a fan of sizzling plates because food tends to get too oily buuuut there's just something about this one that makes it one of my guilty pleasures!

A major rescue operation was launched by East Sussex Fire & Rescue Service after a paraglider became stranded on the South Downs above Firle.
The emergency call came in to the Mobilising & Communications Centre last Friday (20th July) at 11.41am.
A technical rescue crew from Lewes, along with the line rescue teams from Battle and Bexhill, were sent to the incident.
The woman was stranded 45 metres down the bankside and various emergency services worked alongside each other to assist, including: crews from the Kent Helicopter Emergency Service (HEMS), the Hazard Area Rescue Team (HART), South East Coast Ambulance Service (SECAMB), Sussex Police and ESFRS. The combined line rescue team helped to bring the woman down safely.
ESFRS Watch Manager Dave Washington said: "The rescue was undertaken in a controlled manor to prevent further injury, lasting 45 minutes from arrival. The woman was then taken to the Trauma Centre at the Royal Sussex County Hospital."

We stand at a critical juncture in the life of our nation and our state. Proposals to expand federal regulation of oil and natural gas production and discussions on federal tax reform are set to begin in earnest next year. This could have a profound impact on every American citizen.
President Obama and his supporters continue to look for every opportunity to attack, weaken and destroy domestic oil and natural gas production, including carbon tax proposals, unilaterally increasing federal regulation of oil and natural gas production, and proposing to eliminate critical tax provisions to starve the industry of capital. The Obama administration's actions are making it harder for our economy to recover and are damaging our nation's future energy security.
That's not only bad politics; it's bad policy. This is an example of what happens when political orthodoxy drives energy policy, and it highlights the need to get our nation's energy policy right.
When tax expenditures and regulatory costs increase more than the real economy, the results are destructive to economic growth. The wrong governmental policy framework generates wrong policy, and this is what we have been seeing in Washington, D.C. We are not likely to see significant economic recovery until we see change in basic policy.
A new administration could give our economy a quick and substantial boost by encouraging, rather than blocking, the development of America's vast energy resources and by stopping the propagation of unnecessary and endless regulations that burden businesses.
As we consider energy policy this election season, we should listen to American voters on the direction of our nation's energy policy. Recent polls show 77 percent of voters want increased production of oil and natural gas resources located here in the United States. Also, 70 percent of voters strongly support the role of natural gas in reducing greenhouse. It could not be more clear that American voters recognize the importance of all energy sources, including oil and natural gas.
At a time when energy and the economy are two of the most important issues facing everyday citizens, Americans are beginning to realize that we are moving in the wrong direction on energy policy. The way the American people decide to face our future challenges may be one of the most important events in the 21st century.
American energy policy is not a Republican issue or a Democrat issue. It is an American prosperity and leadership issue. The American people want, expect and deserve elected leaders who will place what's best for our state and nation's economy and energy future above partisan ideology and political posturing.
I strongly believe that the American people need and want moral, intellectual and strategic clarity and courage from our policymakers.
As we look ahead to November's elections and beyond, energy policy discussions should focus on facts and reality, not political ideology and hyperbole. We need a national energy policy based on science, the free market and entrepreneurial spirit.
Those who act on our behalf at all levels of government should use those principles as the foundation for their energy policy decisions. We must make it clear to our elected leaders that energy policy should not be a partisan talking point, because it is too important and fundamental to our way of life.
Future generations are looking to us to get our nation's energy policy right. They are counting on us to leave them a country that is second to none in energy production, security and economic prosperity.
Edward Cross is president of the Kansas Independent Oil and Gas Association.

The Architecture of Passion
This is the Mosque at Cordoba. Consider the delicate patterns carved into the stone, the perfect positioning of the supports, the sheer amount of gold sacrificed. How much intensity it much have taken to craft such a masterpiece! Now imagine this masterpiece is the product of your mind. It is your masterpiece. Somehow you managed to scrap together something wonderful against the deluge of chaos. It is your triumphant answer. But how did you complete such a Herculean task or even why did you complete it? Was it a sense of duty to someone or something, or were you forced to complete the task with seemingly few other options?
To me, the Mosque is a monument to passion. Now to find mine.

text: I have a Wiikey but some games like Rygar for example only work with Gecko 1.07b/Gamma Loader. Now I got all three installed Gecko Loader 1.07b, Gamma Loader and an earlier version of Gecko supposedly for GameCube games. Do I really need all this, hell I think that maybe Gecko OS 1.07b and Gamma Loader are the exact same thing? If I decide to delete them I just delete the channels like I normally do for WiiWare and VC games, right?

TULLAHOMA, Tenn. - A prosecutor says no charges will be filed against a Middle Tennessee man who killed a teenager and wounded another man in a shooting in early October.
Coffee County District Attorney Mickey Layne told The Tullahoma News that the shooting was determined to be self-defense.
Nicholas Dipietrantio, who is 74, shot 17-year-old Austin Ferrell and 38-year-old George Taylor on Oct. 1.
According to Tullahoma Police reports, Dipietrantio fired the shots from inside his apartment after hearing the glass in his front door shatter.
The newspaper reports some nearby residents said on the night of the shooting that Ferrell and Taylor had gone to the residence to "borrow" a can of dog food. Dipietrantio told police he never heard a request and fired only after the glass broke.

Suffering from Acne can be hard enough, without having to worry about being left with scars afterwards. Luckily, there is a solution for treating those scars safely and effectively, with experts recommending Dermaroller Therapy.
Also known as micro-needling, Dermaroller Therapy involves using a hand held device which contains thousands of tiny needles over the problem area. The tiny needle pricks help to encourage your skin cells to repair and regenerate, minimising the appearance of wrinkles and Acne scars.
Dermaroller Therapy is suitable for most skin types and works particularly well for Acne scars, with New York Dermatologist, Dr Doris Day reporting a "60 % to 70% improvement in the broad acne scars with four to six treatments".
Associate Professor of Dermatology at Georgetown University, Washington, D.C. adds: "Micro-needling also helps smooth small, thin wrinkles, such as those around the eyes, and does a very nice job on upper-lip wrinkles".
Have you undergone Dermaroller Therapy for Acne scars? Share your experience with us today on Twitter.

Although there have been no more reported cases of damage to outdoor holiday lights, decorations and displays since Dec. 7, Gothenburg police have not found who was responsible.
From Dec. 4-7, at least a dozen residents called the police department to report damaged or stolen lights and decorations throughout the city.
Police officials said estimated damage ranges from $50 to several hundred dollars per incident.
Anyone with information about the criminal mischief is encouraged to call the police department at 537-3608 or contact Dawson County Crime Stoppers at 1-866-652-7383, at www.dawsoncountycrimestoppers.com or by sending a text tip beginning with "tip70" and sent to "CRIMES."
Crime Stoppers asks for information about crimes, not names.
A reward of up to $1,000 will be paid after law enforcement agencies have determined the seriousness of the crime and the usefulness of the information.

But Fetsch declined to discuss the names of finalists. "The information will be available at the board meeting," she said.
Last year, Crunican's job performance became a political issue in the mayoral campaign, with both Joe Mallahan and Mike McGinn were vowing to oust her if elected.
McGinn won, but asked Crunican -- who came under fire for her handling of December 2008's snowstorms and promoting a street maintenance manager despite documented problems with his management style — to stay on until he has selected a replacement.
She decided to step down to start her own consulting company in December.
Crunican was a finalist for Clackamas County's administrator job in December, but the county hired Steve Wheeler, who had been serving as the county's interim administrator. Before taking the transportation job in Seattle, she was Oregon Department of Transportation director.
Calls to Crunican's home this morning went unanswered.
Hansen, who has guided the agency through 11 years of ambitious and sometimes-controversial rail expansion, announced on March 16 that his leaving the post at the end of June.

Director: Jeff Weiner, PhDScientific Director: Brian McCool, PhD
Early life stress (ELS) refers to severe and/or chronic
trauma, environmental or social deprivation, or neglect, occurring either in
prenatal or early postnatal life. ELS is
now well recognized as a major risk factor for a diverse range of adverse
outcomes across the lifespan, including cognitive, behavioral and psychiatric
domains. Notably, ELS is known to substantially increase risk of internalizing
disorders (e.g. anxiety, depression) as well as vulnerability to drug and
alcohol abuse. Preclinical studies in humans have provided a wealth of
information regarding the behavioral and biological consequences associated
with ELS. Unfortunately, many questions
remain unanswered, particularly with respect to the specific neurobiological
mechanisms linking ELS and increased vulnerability to addictive disorders. To
that end, many animal models of ELS have been developed and results from these
studies have contributed substantively to our understanding of the behavioral
and biological consequences of ELS. The goal of this P01 project is to employ
well-established preclinical human and animal research models to conduct
integrated, translational studies directed at identifying specific behavioral
and neurobiological correlates through which ELS increases risk of alcohol use
disorder later in life.
This P01 employs a Center-like structure that includes highly
integrated rodent, non-human primate, and human projects. An administrative core
provides the infrastructure and support needed to ensure the success of the
research. This core also actively promotes new translational alcohol research by
creating translational research training and outreach activities related to the
scientific goals of the P01.
This project takes advantage of the numerous strengths that
characterize the alcohol research community at CepEsperu School of Medicine.
First, we are a highly collaborative translational alcohol research unit. This
unit has been working together to establish parallel models to study the
relationship between ELS and alcoholism in humans, non-human primates, and
rodents. Second, the projects outlined in this application represent the fruit
of these collaborations, leverage the strengths and advantages of each species,
and build on substantive preliminary and published data obtained through prior
programmatic grant support from NIAAA. Collectively, these studies focus on the
specific hypotheses that ELS results in enduring increases in a diverse array
of behaviors that contribute to increased vulnerability to alcohol
addiction. Experiments in the non-human
primate and rodent models will also directly assess the hypothesis that ELS
results in dysregulation of neurophysiological mechanisms that may represent
synaptic correlates of addiction vulnerability.
Finally, each of the projects will test interventional approaches aimed
at mitigating the adverse behavioral and neurobiological effects of ELS. The
ultimate goal of these integrated, translational studies is to accelerate the
transition from laboratory discovery to new and more effective treatment of
alcohol use disorder. The goals and
objectives of this project will be achieved through the following specific aims:
Specific Aim 1: Translational neurobehavioral studies on
early life stress and vulnerability to alcohol use disorder. Three highly integrated,
multidisciplinary research projects, using human, non-human primate, and rodent
models, will test hypotheses directed at identifying behavioral and
neurobiological substrates linking early life stress and increased addiction
vulnerability. Each project will also
examine interventions targeted at reducing the deleterious behavioral and
neurobiological effects of early life stress.
Specific Aim 2: Administrative core for the
translational research projects. To
facilitate the scientific goals and objectives of this project, this P01 will
establish an administrative core that will provide infrastructure and support for
each of the research projects. This core
will also actively promote new translational alcohol research outreach and
training opportunities at CepEsperu School of Medicine. A major emphasis will be to promote scientific
integration across projects to maximize the likelihood of proceeding from benchside
discovery to the development of novel treatment strategies for alcohol

Michael Rosenbaum, who plays bald future baddie Lex Luthor on the WB's Smallville, is on his way to have some fun.
"You know where I am right now?" he shouts into his cellphone. "I'm in the car -- Motley Crue at the Staples Center, front row. This interview needs to be started with that."
Before he rocks out, though, Rosenbaum is eager to talk about the next original episode of Smallville, called "Onyx," which airs tonight. After a kryptonite explosion, Lex is split in two, releasing his truly evil side, Alexander, whose first act is to imprison Lex inside stately Luthor manor.
Alexander then heads out on a rampage, which takes him across the paths of future Superman Clark Kent (Tom Welling), upright farmer Jonathan Kent (John Schneider), high-school journalist Chloe Sullivan (Allison Mack), bad dad Lionel Luthor (John Glover) and lovely Lana Lang (Kristin Kreuk).
"You know," Rosenbaum says, "there comes an episode in an actor's life ... I'm trying to make this as melodramatic as I can. It's been a good time this year, but I'm always ready to do a little stretching. I'll be honest, I freaked out when I first saw this script.
"The first thing I do when I get a script, I go through and see how much I'm in it, like every other actor. My line, my line ... my line.' I started looking at it and realized, `There are 50 pages in this script, and I'm in 47 of them.' I freaked out and took a Xanax."
Playing two characters, in essence, also turned out to be twice the workload.
"It was something like 15, 16 straight days. It was just a lot of dialogue. Once I started to get into it, I got really excited. ... It's the stuff people have been waiting for, for four years.

A new study finds that the reported prevalence of autism has leveled off in the United Kingdom since 2004, after skyrocketing five-fold in the 1990s as it did in the United States. This contrasts with a 78 percent increase in autism's estimated prevalence in the United States between 2002 and 2008.
The UK report appears today in the online journal BMJ Open. The authors, from University College London, say their results raise uncertainties about recent increases in autism's global prevalence and whether they will continue.
What accounts for the difference?
"In the US, part of the increase in prevalence has been from increased detection, especially among ethnic minorities," comments epidemiologist Michael Rosanoff, Autism Speaks associate director for public health research. "Disparities in access to autism services and differences in healthcare systems may be additional factors behind reported differences between countries." Autism Speaks' Early Access to Care and Global Autism Public Health initiatives continue to address these gaps in access to services in underserved communities.
In addition, the rate at which autism prevalence is increasing has slowed in the US over the last decade, Rosanoff notes. "While we saw a 57 percent increase between 2002 and 2006, the increase from 2006 to 2008 was only 23 percent," he says. "We will see if this trend continues when the CDC releases new numbers."
Finally, the US approach to estimating autism prevalence may be more comprehensive than that of the UK study. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) uses both medical and school records from multiple sources to detect cases. The British researchers based their estimates solely on medical records from the UK's General Practice Research Database.
Contrasts and parallels in numbers
Like the CDC, the British researchers looked at 8 year olds to calculate autism prevalence. They found that the number in the UK remained flat between 2004 and 2010 – at around 1 in 250 boys and just under 1 in 1,000 girls.
This is substantially lower than the CDC's most recent estimate of 1 in 54 boys and 1 in 252 girls. It is also lower than some UK studies that used different approaches to identify autism.
The UK researchers note that their own previous research documented a five-fold rise in autism prevalence over the course of the 1990s. This parallels the increase seen in the US during that time period. Increased awareness and a broadening of diagnoses only partially explain that rise, they say. Researchers still know little about the factors that may play a role in the increased prevalence.
"What we do know is that millions are affected and many are still being missed," Rosanoff concludes.

E L James on Fifty Shades of Grey and stiff cocktails
The hotness of the Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy — with E L James' graphic depictions of a certain flavor of bedroom fantasies — is leaving a wake of controversy and endless commentary among women. James talks to U.S. media for the first time and reveals the whirlwind of the books' success has her after a certain something — alcohol, that is.
E L James may not be a name that sounds familiar to you but you might befamiliar with her first novel, Fifty Shades of Grey — and maybe even her other two, Fifty Shades Darker and Fifty Shades Freed. These three books comprise the Fifty Shades trilogy. Even if you haven't read them, you've no doubt heard that the books are creating a media craze.
The LA Times reports the books first hit shelves in the U.S. on April 3, 2012. Since then the Fifty Shades trilogy has risen to the top of numerous bestseller lists, including The New York Times and Amazon.
The LA Times describes the book as an "erotic novel about a young woman's submissive sexual relationship with a wealthy businessman…" and reports the book rights have been optioned by Universal Studies. (ABC reports the option rights could be as high as $5 million). The publisher — Vintage — claims one book is sold every second with over two million copies sold since its U.S. debut.
One Amazon reviewer might have revealed the apparent appeal of the trilogy in a few short words: "Deeply Disturbing, Compelling and Completely Addicting."
It's pretty safe to say the books are a tremendous success. Most curious, author E L James remained out of the spotlight until recently. According to her official biography, James is an English mother of two teenage boys, married and was a TV executive before her descent into erotic literature.
In the past few days James decided to speak to a few U.S. news outlets, notably ABC's Good Morning America, and NBC's The Today Show.
Elizabeth Vargas sat down with James in her interview with Good Morning America and the The Fifty Shades of Grey author was surprisingly casual and down to earth. James explains she was not searching for fame nor has she had time to process the overwhelming response to her Fifty Shades series. James tells Vargas she initially posted what would later become Fifty Shades of Grey on a Twilight fansite — after James was inspired by Stephenie Meyer's love story between characters Edward Cullen and Bella Swan.
James even tells The Today Show that Fifty Shades of Grey represents some of her own fantasies. "This is my midlife crisis, writ large," she said. "All my fantasies are in there [the trilogy], and that's it." Feeling the need to explain Fifty Shades' premise she says, "Once you're in charge of your job, your house, your children, getting the food on the table, doing all of this, all of the time, it'd be nice for someone else to be in charge for a bit maybe," revealed James.
James' has perhaps unwittingly sparked a literary phenomenon with a new cultural conversation about feminism, sexism and what some modern women do or don't want in the bedroom. According to a recent cover story on Newsweek magazine by well-known feminist Katie Roiphe titled, "Spanking Goes Mainstream," Fifty Shades of Grey removes the curtain on preferences that are pervasive among most women and speaks to women's inner desires for submission, which not surprisingly, garnered its own backlash.
And what started as an innocent love story — okay maybe not so innocent — Fifty Shades of Grey has millions of men and women discussing the cultural significance of the type of sexual relationship seemingly made mainstream by James. So what exactly does James want to do next? When asked by Vargas during her interview for Good Morning America, James replies, "Go and lie down in a small dark room somewhere. Or, preferably [a] beach somewhere with a very large cocktail."

Today, March 25, is Lady Day in some countries, another name for the Christian Feast of the Annunciation, and a festival in honour of the Virgin Mary. March 25 was the first day of the calendar year in England until 1752 and the adoption of the Gregorian Calendar. Several days were lost during the change-over of calendars and this explains why April 6 is still the start of the financial year.
Nowadays there is only one Lady Day, but there used to be four – August 15, September 8, December 8 as well as March 25.
Lady Day is the first of the four traditional quarter days, when tenancies begin and rents become payable. The other three quarter days in England and Ireland are traditionally June 24 (Midsummer Day), September 29 (Michaelmas) and December 25 (Christmas). In Scotland the term quarter day is sometimes given to Candlemas (February 2), Whit Sunday (May 15), Lammas (August 1) and Martinmas (November 11).

A very important painting for me, created when I turned forty years of age. It felt as if I stood at the center of youth and elderhood, and could look backwards and forwards at my life and at my development of self. The symbology is influenced by Native American artforms. The composition is a symmetrical design, of which I created many. Butterfly of transformation roots the two women, blue flower of awareness unites them and golden light of Spirit presides over All.

Seven fake Sandy photos that have been circulating around the web.
Oh, gosh! Every disaster that strikes seems to bring out the same stupidity of someone arguing that this will work out to be a good thing for that area's economy. I remember the same idiocy after Katrina and 9/11. Veronique de Rugy puts the smackdown on Peter Morici who made this argument in the Philadelphia Inquirer.
David Ignatius of the Washington Post argues that there are questions on Benghazi that we deserve answers to.
This is a point that I've been pondering for several days: the media cheered on Cindy Sheehan when she took her anguish over her son's death into attacks on President Bush. Ty Woods' father has been much more restrained than Sheehan, but the MSM just ignores his questions about what happened in Benghazi that ended with his son's death. The contrast is startling evidence on how biased the media is.

Major Garrett explains why it is not likely that Romney could win the popular vote and lose the electoral vote. However, it is possible that Hurricane Sandy could alter everyone's math. However, Nate Cohn pours cold water on the idea that Romney could win Pennsylvania. Matthew Kaminski, however, sees some hope for Romney in suburban Philadelphia. It will all come down to the sort of turnout that Obama can get from his base in Philadelphia.
Rich Lowry analyzes the insulting patronizing message Obama has for women.
The likes of Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton argued that women were just as capable of rational deliberation as men. The conceit of the Obama campaign is that, to the contrary, they are quite susceptible to a few powerful dog whistles and unable to see beyond their gender. To paraphrase a notorious post on the Obama campaign's Tumblr page, "Ladies vote like their lady parts depend on it."Bob Krumm explains why liberals remain so optimistic about this election. He also explains why Romney supporters shouldn't get excited by Gallup's survey of early voting with Romney leading Obama by 7% among early voters.
Obama says that the reason he made that comment to Medvedev about having more flexibility after the election was simply because he'd have more time when he wasn't campaigning to pay attention to foreign policy and negotiate a treaty with Russia. Oh, come on! As if he would be the one personally negotiating the treaty. Some diplomat would negotiate it and the President would swoop in for the signing ceremony. He made that comment back in March. So is he admitting that he hasn't been able to pay suitable attention to foreign policy all year?
Why do pop psychologists think that they can psychoanalyze people from afar and then turn their analysis to politicians. Newsweek, demonstrating why they have lost readership steadily over the past decade, publishes a pseudo-scientific analysis of the brains of the candidates and how much testosterone and estrogen, serotonin, and dopamine they have coursing through their systems.
Gallup reports that its polling shows that turnout would be less than it was in 2004 and 2008.

By Josephine Mason
NEW YORK (Reuters) - As a young boy working on his uncle's potato farm in rural Montana, little did Christopher Lovell know the company whose name was emblazoned across trains crossing the state would one day make him the nation's most revered - or reviled - commodities lawyer.
Years later, as a newly qualified attorney starting out in the cut-throat world of New York litigation in the late 1970s, Lovell led a lawsuit against JR Simplot, a major U.S. agribusiness company which supplied spuds and french fries to McDonald's and other big consumers.
Regulators had accused Simplot of manipulating potato prices - then the premier contract on the New York Mercantile Exchange - after it walked away from its potato futures contracts in the biggest commodities default in history at the time.
Lovell, then just 28, saw the chance to take civil action against the firm, mounting a suit that took him through the U.S. Supreme Court in a six-year battle to victory and kicked off a career as one of the most successful antitrust litigators in the commodities market.
"I was a super peacock and show-off for many years after winning the Simplot trial," Lovell, now 62, told Reuters.
Three of the biggest cases of his 30-plus-year career may lie just ahead.
Earlier this month, Lovell's firm was appointed co-lead counsel against Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase & Co and the London Metal Exchange, which face allegations from aluminum consumers that their warehousing businesses inflated metal prices, the biggest commodities class-action lawsuit in decades.
The banks and the LME say the claims are baseless.
On Friday, a judge will decide whether to give an oil manipulation case for which Lovell is co-lead counsel class-action status.
And, earlier this month, he was first to file suit accusing five banks involved in the London benchmark gold fix of manipulating bullion prices. Deutsche Bank, Societe Generale and Bank of Nova Scotia have dismissed the allegations, while Barclays, and HSBC have declined to comment.
Since the Simplot case, Lovell has secured nearly $1 billion in damages from Italian soybean magnates, natural gas hedge funds, dairy farmers and copper traders in more than a dozen highly complex anti-trust and price-fixing cases.
"Chris has immersed himself in an area of the law and has mastered it in a way you don't come across much," said Fred Isquith, partner at Wolf Haldenstein Adler Freeman & Herz LLP.
Isquith has known of Lovell since the Simplot case, when Isquith was a relatively junior member of the Simplot defense team at New York firm Kaye Scholer, but has since worked on many cases with Lovell's 18-attorney firm, Lovell Stewart Halebian Jacobson.
If commodity manipulation and price fixing litigation were a market, Lovell could be accused of cornering it.
Lovell stands out in commodities litigation because he is often the first to file a class-action suit. Judges also often appoint him lead counsel due to his deep knowledge of complex commodities futures markets and opaque physical trading built over the past 30 years, lawyers say.
Questioning conventional wisdom to explain wild gyrations in prices or market moves is also a key part to unraveling malfeasance, Lovell said.
Even so, antitrust and price-fixing litigation requires a large dose of opportunism, say other lawyers. These kinds of suits are often launched as a result of regulatory inquiry and frequently depend on authorities finding evidence of wrongdoing that plaintiffs can later use in court to extract more compensation.
"People get involved speculatively thinking there is a chance of big bucks. That is opportunistic by both the plaintiff and the lawyers," said a veteran trader whose firm was embroiled in the Hamanaka copper scandal, one of the biggest financial frauds in history, in the 1990s.
Lovell cemented his reputation in the frenzy of litigation that targeted some of the biggest players in the scandal.
Lovell and other plaintiff lawyers in such cases also benefit from the fact that in the United States, the burden is on the defense to disprove the allegations, say legal experts.
They say it is often tough to get a case thrown out early on in the process due to the complex nature of allegations that require a deep understanding of intricate futures deals.
Even so, only a small number of suits go to trial. Defendants often settle to avoid potentially heftier fines if a judge rules against them further down the road. Many also prefer not to air their dirty laundry in the court, experts say.
His floppy hair, boyish looks and gangly 6.3-foot narrow frame are complemented by a folksy charm that can catch his opponents off guard. Clients and fellow lawyers who have worked alongside him or fought him in court describe him as affable and down to earth.
"In his low-key way, he was devastating," said Howard Sirota, a lawyer who worked with Lovell on a nearly decade-long case against more than 300 initial public offerings during the dotcom boom. The suit settled for almost $600 million.
"He's very competitive, and beneath the nice folksy manner he's a very tough guy," he said.
Lovell says he now has a more humble attitude towards his success, having also suffered some high-profile losses.
A suit over crude oil prices against BP and a years-long complaint over allegations that JPMorgan had tried to suppress silver prices were both dismissed.
Still, Lovell's looming presence is a constant cloud for some of the world's most powerful energy and metal players.
"If you're a commodities trader, you're not going to be very happy to have Chris Lovell accusing you of wrongdoing," said a defense attorney who lost a high-profile energy case against him about four years ago.
Lovell grew up in a legal family in Missoula, a city which nestles on the Idaho border. His father, Charles C. Lovell, ran a private legal practice and became a federal judge in 1985. Now in his 80s, his father is semi-retired but still hears cases.
Working on his uncle's potato farm as a teenager, he would wait for a lift home at the end of a day and watch Simplot's trains rolling across the plains, carrying everything from potatoes to phosphate to all corners of the country.
When the privately owned firm defaulted on its Maine potato futures contracts in 1976, it was the name from his childhood that struck a chord with Lovell.
"I was motivated to learn about commodities markets and use my knowledge of potato farming to pursue that case," he said.
More than 30 years later, Lovell has not forgotten his farming roots.
"I'd prefer to grow the wheat than buy the bread," he said.

Porsche Cayenne: Porsche Cayenne: one hot SUV
THE 2017 Porsche Cayenne takes the term 'having your cake and eat it too' literally. Want luxury, space, off-road capability in a fun to drive package — it's all there.From its inception in 2002, the Porsche Cayenne has been a divisive vehicle amongst the Porsche purists. Many scoffed at the fact that a company world-renowned for its sports cars would delve into the mundane waters of the sports utility vehicle. The Cayenne is anything but mundane, especially in its second generation, and just like the Porsche, has long silenced those who questioned the rear-engined configuration of the 911. They've spent the time refining their engineering decision.
Originally criticised for its appearance, the sheet metal is all new for 2017 leading to a very handsome and sporty visage. There are the subtle familiar styling cues that ensure its Porsche lineage. More significantly, it manages that rare ability to blend in, yet stand out, like many infinitely expensive items. At first glance, it seems simple, even non-descript, then after further examination its true nature is exposed, more so to those 'in the know'.
There are several ways to get into the Cayenne. On standard suspension, you pull yourself into the driver's seat, or more appropriately, thrones, as they're covered in the supplest richly coloured leather you could imagine — all with the legendary Porsche crest embossed in the headrest. If you go for the optional air-suspension, you can aid the modesty of female company by having the vehicle lower itself to further aid ingress. Once inside, the seats can be adjusted between 'lord of my domain' heights to sports car low, totally powered, of course.
If the colour of the leather-lined cabin wasn't vivid enough, the full-length panoramic sunroof floods in plenty accentuating light, keeping things airy and enhancing the sense of space. Claustrophobia will not be a word used in any language describing the Cayenne's interior, even in the rear where passengers will also partake in the perfectly stitched acres of cowhide coverage. Not to your liking, simply open your wallet and customise.
The Porsche-shaped key is a throwback to the legacy of vehicles past. Push button start is standard. Its true nature is to keep track of the three available memory settings. With everything configured to the driver's taste — from seating, to radio stations, to climate control — the Cayenne shapes itself to the keyholder's whims. And there is much to play with. The touchscreen infotainment system is responsive and intuitive like a high-end smartphone, which is good since there is so much to go through.
Fortunately, the key features are just a solid button press away. It takes a while for many to notice, but once the 3.6-litre V6 is fired up with its 300bhp on tap, all will see that.
Porsche took the 'sport' part of the utility seriously. Like every Porsche ever built, it's the rev counter that sits middle centre stage in the instrument binnacle. Select one of the three drive and suspension modes, and be on your way. At low RPMs, the engine note is near invisible, with only the soft jolt of the automatic start/stop offering hits that it's on. Explore the upper reaches of the rpm band, especially in Sport+ mode and a throaty exhaust note spills gently into the cabin. Not that it matters, since occupants are thrust forward as the throttle and steering gains an athletic weight to them.
The Cayenne is at home cruising through Corporate Area traffic in total serenity, can tackle real off-road obstacles with its four-wheel drive system and can give the average sports car a run for its money. While the 2017 Cayenne does start at $19 million, like all things Porsche, it's up to your heart and bank account to determine price paid.

Archaeologist, spy, Arabist, linguist, author, poet, photographer, mountaineer and nation builder, Gertrude Bell was born in 1868 into a world of privilege and plenty, but she turned her back on all that for her passion for the Arab peoples, becoming the architect of the independent kingdom of Iraq and seeing its first king Faisal safely onto the throne in 1921. Queen of the Desert is her story, vividly told and impeccably researched, drawing on Gertrude's own writings, both published and unpublished. Previously published as Daughter of the Desert, this is a compelling portrait of a woman who transcended the restrictions of her class and age and in so doing created a remarkable and enduring legacy. 'What a great Oscar-laden biopic this will make ...the combination of epic scenes and personal drama makes Georgina Howell's saga a winner' Daily Express 'Howell sketches in the gradations of colour and emotion that have been lacking in hitherto monochrome accounts of Bell's life ... Exemplary' Sunday Times 'Riveting ... few women have had a life more worth reading about.' Diana Athill, Literary ReviewThe Extraordinary Life of Gertrude Bell Georgina Howell. Grange ... A family story suggests the awe with which a#39;Patera#39; was regarded by the Bells. ... Parliament had forbidden the use of children as chimneysweeps a full twentysix years earlier.

Risks of an angioplasty surgical procedure include re-narrowing of the artery, blood clots that can form within the stents, and bleeding where the catheter is inserted, explains Mayo Clinic. An angioplasty surgical procedure is less invasive with less risks than a heart bypass surgery.Continue Reading
Some people experience rare complications such as experiencing a heart attack during the procedure or developing kidney problems as a result of damage to the kidneys during the surgery, according to Mayo Clinic. The coronary artery may rupture or tear during the procedure, and a patient is at risk for a stroke if the catheters are not inserted and threaded properly. An additional risk may include abnormal heart rhythms that require a pacemaker or medications.Learn more about Cardiac Health

Jackie Gleason's fat was his fortune. "When he has a stomachicache," one witsnapper snorted, "it's like a giraffe I having a sore throat." Reporters labeled him the Abdominal Showman, the Prince of Whales, a refrigerator in a sports-jacket, a marshmallow dipped in Vitalis. "Jackie Gleason," Milton Berle cracked, "is my two favorite comedians," and a wag added, "Oral and Lardy, I presume." But inside the Large One dwelt the Great One, the Babe Ruth of comedy, an untutored titan with more God-given talent than a medium-size country. Of all the great TV funnymen, Gleason projected the most powerful presence, a golden effulgence that beamed into millions of homes a largess universal like the sun. And like the sun his humor touched us with warmth. Behind the boozy bravado lived a tenderhearted Irishman whose gift for feeling what others feel quickened in him an actor as well as a buffoon. He was the last of the grand old Irish clowns who could make us laugh till we cried at what fools we mortals be—and then make us cry till we laughed at how sweet it is to be alive.
Gleason could zing one-liners when he had to ("Sex for a fat man is much ado about puffing"), but his genius really ignited when he cooked up a character. Remember Reggie Van Gleason III, the pub-crawling aristocrock whose hiccups could wilt an aspidistra? Joe the Bartender, the pint-pot foolosopher who served his customers beer by the glass and bull by the hour? The Poor Soul, an eternal victim who somehow always encountered a heel to step on him? Hilarious all, but Gleason's supreme creation was Ralph Kramden, the lovable lunkhead of The Honeymooners, a blustering Brooklyn bus driver who dreamed of hitting life's jackpot but always wound up with small change. He had a pea-brained pal named Ed Norton who buzzed around him like a hopeful mosquito, and a sensible wife named Alice who loyally punctured his balloons. Ralph: "This is probably the biggest thing I ever got into!" Alice: "The biggest thing you ever got into was your pants!" Whereupon Ralph brandished a meaty fist and roared: "One of these days, Alice. POW! Right in the kisser!" or "Bang! Zoom! To the moon, Alice!"—empty threats that passed into the language. The Honeymooners itself has passed into the culture. Groucho Marx called it TV's "only real classic."
The best of these skits are painfully, beautifully true to the life of urban poverty they parody—a life Gleason knew well. Born in back-street Brooklyn, he was abandoned at 9 by his hard-drinking dad. Mother Mae found work in a subway booth, and Jackie filled the void with calories and street-corner acclaim. At 15 he dropped out of school and emceed an amateur show for $4 a night; at 19 he was trading insults ("Is that your face, sir, or did your pants fall down?") with beer-maddened brutes in a joint so unsavory "the rats went next door to eat." But in 1952, when The Jackie Gleason Show captured Saturday night for CBS, the slum bunny was suddenly the hottest Jack-in-the-box—a risky perch that only hyped his anxieties and his. appetites. Gleason regularly smoked six packs of cigarettes a day, gobbled four steaks at a sitting, guzzled six Scotches with lunch and six more with dinner, partied till dawn and night after night split the sheets with a different "broad"—a habit that did not amuse his wife. But he worked as hard as he played, and in 1961 he gave Minnesota Fats in The Hustler a cool dash of cologne that won him an Oscar nomination and a 25-year second career in the movies.
Then in the '80s, amazingly, Gleason's TV career took off again. Flattered that Honeymooners reruns had acquired a cult, he released 70 episodes he had squirreled away. Millions watched them every day, and the old showman basked in his glory's afterglow. He died at 71 in the arms of his third wife, Marilyn. "Almost everything I wanted to do, I've been able to do," he said not long before the end, "and most of it turned out pretty good." For the Great One, that was an uncharacteristic understatement.

The builders have track record of sustained growth, customer satisfaction and innovation. There are many Top class builders who are private residential and commercial developers in Bangalore, India. Hence the Top class builders have expanded rapidly across Bangalore.
Today, top builders in Bangalore have a flagship of a multimillion conglomerate with superior projects, both residential and commercial in prime locations across Bangalore with thousands of satisfied customers. Top builders have defined Bangalore skylines through its projects developed in the past years.

There are many IT companies in Bangalore and Bangalore is also known as the silicon city because of many IT companies that are present in the city. People are who come from outside looking for jobs in the city eventually fall in love with the city and plan to buy a flat with A class or C class builders available in the city. It is safe to go with A class builders as they have made a name for themselves over a course of time and the A class builders will not let you down in any way be it the Quality, Price, location or Amenities.
After lot of search, finally you zero in on an under-construction apartment to buy. Your decisions are based on cost, location, developed, accessibility, quality, reputation of builder etc. The builder as usual promises moon to every buyer and buyer gets overwhelmed by glossy brochures and sugary words of so called sales managers. So you start dreaming about living in your own abode. The builder then sets the terms for payment – 20% advance, 70% for slabs (for a typical G+3 Apartment), 10% after sale deed registration. Soon after paying the advance (20%), you will apply for a bank loan. If your Credit Information Bureau (India) Limited (CIBIL) score is fine, you will get right away loan approved, since in almost all the cases, land records (i,e sale deed, mother deeds, khata, tax paid receipts etc for land) are clean. The builder will not let you modify any filling of terms and conditions of either Sale Agreement or Construction Agreement (or Agreement to build). Builder will also not amuse any questions, clarifications, doubts etc to be answered or raised. You will be left with no choice but to buy it or look for a different flat. Since you would have already tried and tired of finalizing or searching a flat, you will not fight with the builder – you will agree to everything. In most of the cases, the builder would have constructed all the slabs (or will complete all slabs within 2-3 months) and will raise the Demand Note for 70% of the flat's cost. That is, by this time, you would have paid 90% of the flat's cost. The Builder uses all his tactics/coercion/force etc to get the 70% payment as per the Agreement to Build. Builder will also put force on the bank to release the payment as per the agreement. Finally, the builder will get 90% of the flat cost into his kitty within three months of Sale Agreement.

With a little bit of planning, you can design a safer, more attractive home. Create your own lighting plan with a quick survey of your home and a few of the techniques listed below. Make sure to consider efficient lighting practices and know your local codes before beginning your installation.
Create Your Plan
Take a walk around your home and property at dusk, after nightfall and at dawn to determine what areas will benefit from outdoor lighting. It's a good idea to carry a flashlight with you during your walks.
Be observant of potential focal points, dark spots and hazardous steps or walkways.
Put pencil to paper and make a sketch of the footprint of your home and property, including interesting architectural features, landscaping, walkways, driveways, patios and decking. Then, sketch in areas where lighting fixtures could be installed to create the desired effects.
Lighting Techniques
By incorporating the following lighting techniques into your plan, you can soften, highlight, reveal details, create landscaping shadows or silhouettes and eliminate unwanted dark spots. When possible, mount lights behind shrubbery, within the branches of trees, on eaves or patio structures to eliminate fixture distraction. To avoid lighting glare, aim light away from observers.
Efficient Outdoor Lighting
The tips below will help ensure that your outdoor lighting does the job it is intended to do without causing reduced visibility for passing motorists, light trespass (spilling of light into areas where it is not wanted or intended) and energy waste. You'll also help preserve the stunning view of the night sky.
Local Codes
Before beginning an outdoor installation, make sure you're familiar with your local codes. If any excavation is required, make sure to dig safe.
