in the discussion to a past salon I compared the structural data of another splendid rug with a bold geometric design and "halo", the Brashov rug in the 2006 Transsylvanian Rugs exhibition in Berlin, with rugs from East Anatolia, Aserbaidschan and NW Iran. The outcome was, that the Brashov rug is more likely, or at least equally likely on basis of structural data, from that region than from the Usak region in West Anatolia – the most common attribution – or from the Karapinar area, in a tentative attribution by Alberto Boralevi.
With the Pohlmann rug and the Bode rug being vanished from focus to the rug world and the Orient Stars publication omitting structural data, the same comparative analyses is vain. There is the later rug in the ICOC volume, but the structural details are of a rug more than 200 hundred years later, and they seem to be flawed or use a somewhat different nomenclature that isn't explained.
In the older rug literature, rugs of the Scheunemann type as in this discussion are also attributed to West Anatolia, Usak, Bergama, Cannakale. This tendency was probably started by Erich Kühnel (Bode W & Kühnel E (1914) Vorderasiatische Knüfteppiche, 2nd ed.) who saw in them the predecessor of the later Bergama rugs.
What happened in the period between the manufacture of the Crivelli / Ghirlandaio / Pohlmann / Bode rugs and those classical carpets, that are generally attributed to western Anatolia (and partially, in the last two decades in a more "modern" nomenclature to Central Anatolia / Karapinar) is highly important, probably, but has not been addressed as far as I am aware. I would like to focus on that issue in the neighbouring thread, the 'Quest for the elusive Caucasian rug.'

This is the one, TIEM inv. no. 420, Double Medallion-Holbein Type, attributed to Central Anatolia, late 17th / early 18th c, from the Ulu Camii in Biga, Çanakkale, West Anatolia.

Yes, the 18th Bergama rug according to Erdmann (1975) is in the Istanbul 11th ICOC special publication 'Weaving Heritage of Anatolia Vol. 2' as plate 87. Its a good picture and I am at home again, which means far from a scanner.

Hi Pierre,
it had haunted me that I knew I had come across that rug before somewhere, and that it wouldn't want to spring back into memory where that was. It clearly needed outside input and I decided, with a print-out of the rug in hand I would make the round at the opening evening of the 2014 Volkmann-Treffen at the Berlin Museum of Islamic Art and seek counsel with whoever of the former curators and directors of the museum whom I knew to have an expertise with rugs, that might be present. Volkmar Enderlein was the first I bumped into. He knew instantly which rug it was and agreed that it might be older than 17th c as Erdmann had suggested, and with a smile he related, that Erdmann had had a reputation for making attributions on rugs he had not seen in reality. He must have been an early Turkotekker sic!
Later, reading up what Erdmann ( 1975, 4. Aufl.) had to say about the 'Pohlmann' rug, which was very little beyond the fact that it belonged to a rare group, made clear by implication why he suggested such a late date for the rug, which he attributed to the Ushak area and modelled on a Bergama rug. His reference for age attribution seem to be the early geometric animal carpets and compartemented animal carpets; hence, he sees in the Pohlmann rug a later form in which the dividing line between compartements had been given up. The older compartemented form, according to Erdmann, has lived on in some Bergama and Canakkale rugs.
Next one I talked to was Jens Kröger, who also immediately recognised the rug and who suggested that Friedrich Spuhler might know more.
He actually did, and nearly flabbergasted me when he suggested that he might have been functional in the transaction of the rug or some very similar one a long time ago. He promised to look into it for me. Last week a written note arrived with references. That was as joyous as much as it dismayed me, for now I knew where I had met that rug before, in Bode and Kühnel (2. bis 4. Aufl., 1914, 1922, 1955), all editions almost at arm's length. Bode (1902) in his first edition of the same book already had a rug included, as plate 67, that is part of the same small group:
The next one is published as plate 38 in Erdmann (1975) where it says Bergama, 18th c, TIEM; in other words there may exist a coloured picture, perhaps in the Istanbul ICOC special catalogue I didn't have time yet to check:
Friedrich Spuhler had another reference for me to a source equally within reach that is so rich, I never had found the time to go through it page by page. So, I am especially grateful for that prompt that also leads us to a marvellous and longed for colour picture of a rug of the group (Kirchheim 1993, Orient Stars, pl. 162):
The Pohlmann rug, unfortunately, remains illusive; and so does the Bode rug.

Hi Pierre,
at last some progress. In summary, we seem to have hit on a very interesting, very small and very elusive group of rugs that was called rare a hundred years ago when more pieces seem to have existed. More on it later in the morning. Many thanks to Steve who has processed a few images for us already.

Hi Horst,
My search on the net for a color picture of the Pohlman rug has not been a success.
Your point about the possibility of Dutch painters taking liberties with the palette of rugs is well taken. Indeed, seventeenth century painters, contrary to their Renaissance predecessors, would rarely think twice before making such modifications based on their artistic ideas. On the other hand, the fact that several dozens of painters represented Scheunemanns rug with a similar palette, leaves some hope that the representations were, often enough, genuine in this case.
You are right, the timeline of Ghirlandaio- and Crivelli- motifs in Renaissance painting makes the theory that the latter was the ancestor of the former difficult to sustain, unless both motifs had an old tradition. A weaving in the same- or in close geographical areas remains a credible option though.
About the impact of Timurid wars on rug weaving: Yes, there is no doubt that it must have been significant in many ways, for example due to the habit of Timur (and most other Asian conquerors) to relocate talented artists and artisans from the stormed cities to his capital and main cities (instead of using their severed heads for building pyramidal road signs). On the other way, the trail of destructions spared many parts of Anatolia, which, besides, was not occupied by the victors, leaving the vanquished Ottomans free to take back and quickly amplify their domination there. In Timurid "Greater Persia", after the time of destruction a «Pax Timurica» started, which was as beneficial to Art and Trade as the «Pax Mongolica» of the Il-khanids a century before, if somewhat shorter and a trifle less stable.
Best regards

thanks to you Steve, for adjusting those brackets, and to you, Pierre, for the explanation. Actually, when I posted I thought I might be wrong in my interpretation of what you meant. In this new light it sounds very reasonable. This way the Dutch could probably establish an home market, cutting out the profits in the trading chain and the Venetian monopoly in the Levant trade. Famagusta on Cyprus was the principal port and the richest town in the Eastern Mediterranean at the time, I've learned from Wikipedia. I have been there quite a few times actually and always i am impressed by its forgone splendour.
It would be great if you could find a colour picture of the Pohlmann rug. Maybe I can find out more about it too, when the more active rug season begins and I can meet more people, among them some who might know something about it.
Ive given the different palettes some thought too. Whilst the Ghirlandajo rug from the Halchiu church speaks for itself, the Scheuneman rug speaks to us in the interpretation of the painter, who after all was more concerned with the people than with the rug, which served as a status symbol (having the rug half tucked away is quite smart in this context). This interpretation is also prompted by the palette the painter uses. Its subdued tone-in-tone scale indirectly puts the portraits of the family in focus, and this is the paintings objective. Maybe we cannot wholly rely on the authenticy of the colours.
The two painters Ghirlandaio and Crivelli were contemporaries and probably used the rugs available to them that had freshly arrived, which in turn were contemporaries themselves, perhaps less than half a generation ahead of the painters, which puts them at around 1450. If one assumes that the Crivelli type of rugs precedes the Ghirlandaio rugs to an extend, that the latter can be regarded as a successor of the former, how does it fit in with the fact that the pictures are contemporaries, and which other rugs at the time of around 1350 or 1400 exist that could support the hypothesis, that the Crivelli is the tradition type to the Ghirlandaio? Is it likely at all, that rug production flourished between 1350 and 1400, at a time when Timur played havoc on the whole region? To me, much speaks for it, that the Crivelli and the Ghirlandaio patterns were more or less contemporary interpretations of a form considerably earlier, i.e. of the Ilkhanid period and its relative peace, or before.
I like your concept of markers and will return to it.

By the way,
Inside the main medallion of your second rug, one can see a smaller "Ghirlandaio" medallion.
Some rug experts have suggested that the Ghirlandaio medallion is a late evolution or a variety of the Crivelli medallion. For what little my opinion is worth, I do buy the idea of a possible parenthood. And since we (Filiberto and I) indicated some clues for a Caucasian origin of the latter....
Thin ice? Did anybody warn of thin ice?

Hi Horst,
Thank you for the pics. Yes indeed, their medallions show good analogies with those of some of the Scheunemann rugs too. The palette of the "Romanian" rug seems different though, with its strong dominance of a golden yellow instead of the two indigos (strong and medium), saturated red and saturated orange which characterize the Scheunemann rugs. I'll try to find a color picture of the (interesting) second rug, if possible.
There is a misunderstanding though: I was not at all suggesting that the Dutch had established weaving workshops in Holland in order to secure production of studio props for the painters. (This seems highly unlikely to me too:,) but only reporting the documented fact that some rug weaving workshops, often small I guess, existed at the time (15th-17th century) in several countries of Europe, including in Holland, selling their production to upper class customers for the main usage of the time: as table decoration. Some workshops, like those of Ferrara or Mantova, were created by a local dynast or a member of his family and may have disappeared after his/her death. It is possible according to the mentioned experts, but not proven, that one of these Dutch workshops was the source of the Scheunemann's rugs. An Oriental origin, (including in Persia, India, Anatolia or in the area including the Caucasus for example), cannot be excluded though and would be my personal favorite hypothesis, out of purely romantic reasons.

Hi Pierre,
thank you for another gorgeous essay. I'd like to chip in with the image of the centre of a 15th c Ghirlandajo rug from the Lutheran church of Halchiu / Romania that I've processed so, that one looks at it from about the same angle as onto the Scheunemann rug you have been discussing with Filiberto. It is a pretty close match, I think, with its medallion as well as the S-border.
A full picture of the rug is depicted here as cat. # 3:
As intrigueing as the idea is, that the Dutch may have set up own workshops in order of securing a reliable supply for image portraits with carpets, the Scheunemann rug probably rests in the tradition of its own authentic habitat somewhere between East Anatolia, NW Persia and the Karabagh. You are probably right in suggesting, that the exact type of rug as in the painting is now extinct; but apparently this was not always so. Here, a rug from the former Pohlmann collection:
Pohlmann was a Jewish German citizen who probably resided in Berlin. I am unaware of what happened to him or his collection in the Nazi and WW II era, but may be able to find out in a little while. No colour image of the rug exists that I know of. The one depicted is taken from the V Gantzhorn (1998) book, German edition.

"If you want I can send you the list of them".
Never mind Filiberto, this was the first place I rushed to.
Give or take a couple of pics and taking my bad eyes into account I agree with your numbers.

Hi Pierre,
Never mind. I searched your Anatolian database (529 images) and found at least 13 rugs with the minor border under discussion.
Two of them are associated with the Leaf-and-Wine-Glass border. They are mostly 16th-17th cent. If you want I can send you the list of them.
|September 23rd, 2013 05:49 PM
|Pierre Galafassi
Hi Filiberto,
I wonder whether this specific "S" border is frequent in extant classical Anatolian rugs or flat weaves as well or whether it could be seen as a Caucasian marker too?
Going to give it a look. (At least, as far as pile rugs are concerned, since my library is very poor on books about kilims).
|September 23rd, 2013 01:48 PM
|Filiberto Boncompagni
Hi Pierre,
Your last installment about the
Quest for the elusive Caucasian rug reminded me something that I forgot (not surprising with advancing age and a line of discussion that spans over years): the very same S or inverted S minor borders appears also on this Italian painting, a Portrait of a Young Nobleman, circa 1545 (LACMA, Los Angeles) Veneto-Lombard School:
together with the Leaf and Wineglass main border.
You showed also Schurmanns plate 44, a Gendje rug with the same two borders.
I looked at the plates of most of my books on Caucasian rug and Schurmanns Gendje is the only surviving pile rug with that S minor border I was able to find, although Bennetts Caucasian has a flat-weave (a Verneh) with it (plate 479).
I decided to have a better look at Nooters Flat Woven Rugs and Textiles from the Caucasus and I found more examples so I have to correct my first post. Nooter shows SIX pieces with the S border NOT three:
Fig 22 (a khorjin) , Plate 107 (another Verneh, surprisingly similar to the one in Bennett), Plate 135 (a mafrash), Plate 187,188 and 194( all khorjins).
In conclusion, this minor border seems to be quite rare on Caucasian pile rugs but easy to find on Caucasian flat-weaves.
They say that flat-weaves are the real repository of Caucasian weaving tradition. Perhaps it passed out of fashion on pile rugs but it held its place among homely textiles?
|September 18th, 2013 01:48 PM
|Pierre Galafassi
Hi Filiberto,
Full agreement on that "self assurance" which is also true, I think, for FIG 203 and 206. The absence of "horror vacui", the bold opposition of fiery shades are also what I like in the best Caucasian rugs. Indeed several of the "Scheunemann" rugs feature the same characteristics and would deserve the honor of Caucasian citizenship, wherever they were woven.
Let's agree that our suggestion is not more harebrained than the Rugdom average and perhaps even a trifle less.
|September 18th, 2013 12:36 PM
|Filiberto Boncompagni2
The rug of FIG 147 doesnt look at all as a pot-pourri. On the contrary, it has an authoritative self-assurance, so to speak.
It MUST be Caucasian!
|September 17th, 2013 06:08 PM
|Pierre Galafassi
Hi Filiberto,
Cit. "What doesnt convince me is the fact that IF those 17th century imitation or pot-pourri rugs really were really woven in the Netherlands or elsewhere in Europe, why they werent identified as such since the beginning? There should be some contemporary written references about their production somewhere, dont you think?"
Yes, there are documents about European rug production, but, (at least at the date of publication of Ydema's book) there was no description of such rugs made-in-Europe, nor any extant piece which could be analyzed. If I remember well, Ydema mentions also somewhere that not many many extant antique rugs of any kind were found in the Netherlands and faults the climate for it. As far as Scheunemann rugs are more specifically concerned, their relatively low knot- count would not help either, i suppose.
If we accept the pot-pourri theory, a production in villages in an area of Asia (preferably Persia or India) visited by Dutch ships could be, indeed an option, especially if we suppose that the rugs were made on order, specifically for sale to Europeans and based on composite design proposed by European buyers. I still have difficulties with the idea of composite rugs made on purely local Asian initiative. Sure, it did happen, including in the Caucasus (Seychur?), but that was a couple of centuries later.
|September 17th, 2013 05:27 PM
|Filiberto Boncompagni
Hi Pierre,
Well, I know nothing about antique Dutch rug production.
What doesn't convince me is the fact that IF those 17th century "imitation" or "pot-pourri" rugs really were really woven in the Netherlands or elsewhere in Europe, why they weren't identified as such since the beginning? There should be some contemporary written references about their production somewhere, don't you think?
An unknown origin outside Europe is much more logical, in my opinion. Not by weavers in a "remote black tent or yurt" as you say, but in cities or villages where rug production and mix and match of motives has always been a centuries-old tradition…

Democrats hoped to drive a wedge in the electorate with some class-warfare rhetoric on tax hikes coming at the end of the year, painting the GOP as the party of the rich and themselves as the defenders of the middle class. The Boston Globe reports that the strategy has begun to backfire, thanks to Democrats breaking ranks and the lack of any action at all before the House recess. Instead of looking like class warriors for the average Joe, they look instead like a pack of incompetents:
President Obama's urgent call for Congress to immediately extend tax breaks for the middle class was supposed to create a defining Democratic issue and cast Republicans as defenders of the rich on the eve of crucial midterm elections. Now, three weeks later, Democrats are further divided and Republicans are using the tax cut issue to their advantage.
The House and Senate adjourned last night, leaving the central pocketbook issue to be decided after the Nov. 2 midterm elections — and just weeks before the tax cuts are set to expire. That indecision injects more uncertainty into whose taxes will go up, and by how much. …
The tax cut extension is expected to remain a political issue over the next few weeks, but not in the way Democrats had initially intended. Rather than using it on the campaign trail against Republicans, Democrats could find themselves on the defensive as the GOP yesterday began framing the vote delay as an example of government ineptitude and cowardice.
It's also an example of economic illiteracy, and the Globe itself falls into that same category. Barack Obama keeps talking about how an extension at the highest brackets will "cost" $700 billion over ten years, but voters are just a little smarter than that. The tax hikes that Democrats want to impose — and that's what they are — will cost taxpayers $700 billion dollars over ten years as the government grabs the money from their pocketbooks. That isn't money owed to the Treasury, but money that Democrats in Congress want to grab.
It's also worth pointing out that even if one accepted Barack Obama's specious argument, which voters clearly don't, he's also the same President who demanded $787 billion in a single year. That didn't put people to work in new and sustainable jobs; why should taxpayers of any stripe cough up another $700 billion over the next decade over what Washington already takes? Private enterprise has a better chance of making that money work in economy-expanding directions than the failed top-down Obamanomics policies have done over the last two years.
Maybe Congress should stop spending so much money rather than demanding more private capital to waste on ineffective command-economy policies. That, at least, would have the novelty of never having been tried, at least not in recent memory.
Combine the class-warfare hypocrisy and the incompetence with the obvious pusillanimity of skedaddling out of Washington before the election without bothering to confront the issue in a manner for which voters can hold them accountable, and it has all the ingredients of a political disaster. And if even the Boston Globe can figure that out and reports it, then Democrats have no excuse and no fig leaf left.

How well do you know the Code? Think you can spot violations the original installer either ignored or couldn't identify? Here's your chance to moonlight as an electrical inspector and second-guess someone else's work from the safety of your living room or office. Can you identify the Code violation(s) in this photo? Note: Submitted comments must include specific references from the 2011 NEC.
Hint: It's Mind Bottling
'Tell Them What They've Won...'
Using the 2011 NEC, correctly identify the Code violation(s) in this month's photo — in 200 words or less — and you could win something to put in your toolbox. E-mail your response, including your name and mailing address, to [email protected], and Russ will select three winners (excluding manufacturers and prior winners) at random from the correct submissions. Note that submissions without an address will not be eligible to win. Winners will receive a fluorescent lighting tester from Milwaukee Tool, valued at $199. The product allows complete lamp, ballast, and pin testing, before or after install, without dismantling fixtures.
(*Please allow six to eight weeks for delivery of tools.)
November Winners
Our winners this month include: Vincent Hueber, P.E., facility engineer, Syracuse Housing Authority, Syracuse, N.Y.; Perry R. Kruse, owner, Perry Kruse Electric, Northfield, Minn.; and Jayson Sorum, electrician, Grand Forks Public School District, Grand Forks, N.D. They all correctly identified the following violations associated with this damaged conduit.
It looks like this installer may have been absent from class on pipe bending day, or perhaps he took the class, "How to Bend Pipe with Hammers 101." In any case, the EMT has been damaged, and its internal diameter has been effectively reduced. This is clearly a violation of 358.24, as proper pipe bending techniques were not used on this EMT. The installation is also not very "neat and workmanlike," as required by 110.12.
Damaging the EMT in this manner can cause problems with the conductors as they get pulled through the pipe. Imagine yourself trying to pull a bundle of conductors through the kinks on that bend. Some of the kinks in this pipe are so bad that they could even prevent the wires from being pulled in at all.
Many different types of pipe benders are available for electricians to use. Hammers, however, don't make for a good pipe bender!

BRISBANE, Australia -- With the Fanatics in bright yellow and raucously chanting for Lleyton Hewitt to stay on top of Roger Federer, the Brisbane International final had the surreal feel of a journey back in time.
It wouldn't have seemed out of context a decade ago, when Hewitt spent 80 weeks atop the tennis rankings and Federer was yet to win a Grand Slam tennis tournament.
But Hewitt's 6-1, 4-6, 6-3 win Sunday over his longest-standing rival on tour was clearly an upset, and delivered him his first title since 2010.
The 32-year-old former No. 1s have met 27 times dating back to 1999, and Hewitt has now improved his record to nine wins against the 17-time Grand Slam champion.
Federer was broken three times and committed 22 unforced errors in the first set, making some uncharacteristically basic mistakes including an air swing and two shanked forehands.
He recovered in the second set and then had break-point chances in Hewitt's first three service games in the deciding set, but couldn't get the vital breakthrough when he needed it most.
"The way you tough it out … congratulations," Federer said in a court-side interview. He added later that Hewitt did "a good job hanging around,"
"But I should have taken advantage already earlier, so I have some regrets," he said. "It's unfortunately one of those matches that got away from me."
Hewitt received the trophy from Australian great Rod Laver, a regular at the Australian Open final presentations involving Federer over the years.
"It's been a while since I won a trophy. For me to get it from you really means a lot," Hewitt said. "I don't need to congratulate Roger, he gets congratulated every week when he's up here for finals!"
Hewitt had not won a title since he beat Federer in the final at Halle in 2010 and his most recent tournament victory on home soil was the 2005 Sydney International; the same year he lost the Australian Open decider to Marat Safin.
That result at Halle ended a 15-match losing streak to Federer. Now he has won two of their past three matches in the twilight of an injury-affected career that peaked when he won the 2001 U.S. Open and 2002 Wimbledon titles. Federer won the first of his four Australian Open titles in 2004, and ascended to the No. 1 ranking soon after. He remained in top spot for 4 1/2 years.
Hewitt's ranking was projected to reach the low 40s with the win. He finished last season at No. 61 in another disrupted season after toe, foot, hand, hip and back injuries kept him off the tour for long periods between 2007 and the start of 2013.
"We've been through a rough four or five years, five different surgeries, it's been tough," Hewitt said.
Hewitt was the youngest qualifier ever for the Australian Open, aged 15 when he made the main draw in 1997, and won his first ATP title in Adelaide the following year at 16 — the youngest winner in a decade on the ATP tour.
He said coming back at double that age to win another Australian tournament was almost on par.
"Obviously (the Adelaide title) is where it all started for me. I was 16. I was in my home town … it's hard to beat that," he said. "But then winning here at a new tournament … I've won nearly every tournament there is to win in Australia.
"Yeah, to beat possibly the greatest player in the final means a lot. So it's very hard to split them."
Of his remote chance of being the first Australian since 1976 to win his home Open, Hewitt said the win over Federer "just gives me a lot more confidence going out there believing in how well I'm hitting the ball at the moment and that I can matchup with the best guys."
Federer, who didn't make a Grand Slam final last year for the first time since 2002 and is now ranked No. 6, said the Brisbane tournament gave him a good idea of how his preparations are going for the Australian Open.
"I have a clear idea what I need to work on, and I have a clear idea where my mind and body is at," he said. "I'm very hungry and eager to attack the Australian Open next week."
Serena Williams retained her title in Brisbane on Saturday with a win over Australian Open champion Victoria Azarenka. Venus Williams lost the Auckland final to Ana Ivanovic, and then withdrew from her scheduled appearance at the Hobart International this week.
Sloane Stephens, who withdrew from the Hopman Cup with a left wrist problem, confirmed Sunday she was pulling out of the Sydney tournament in a bid to be ready for the season's first major. And the Sydney tournament had its first upset Sunday when American Madison Keys beat seventh-seeded Simona Halep of Romania 6-1, 6-4. Third-seeded Sara Errani beat fellow Italian Roberta Vinci 6-4 6-2 in another first-round match.

"Journey" is one of the more overused words in our modern vernacular. Contestants on "American Idol" don't talk about competing on a talent show, they talk about being on their "journey." Pop psychology has the "personal journey," while pop religion offers the "spiritual journey." When is one of Hollywood's most recognized faces takes a personal journey in filmmaking, how does the "Industry" help determined the outcome?

What makes Vita Liberata different?
With Odour RemoveTM technology for zero smell, Moisture LockTM technology for 72 hour skin hydration, 80% certified organic ingredients and the world's first completely non-toxic formulation, Vita Liberata is the most natural and skin caring tan available. It treats the skin while tanning it, promising a flawless fade with no scaling or patching.
What is the difference between tinted and un-tinted Self Tan?
Tinted self tan contains a bronzing guide so you achieve immediate color on the skin. It allows you to see your tan as you apply, making it extra easy to apply. At the same time, the tanning agent DHA will work over 4-8 hours to develop your lasting color that remains on the skin following showering. Gradual self tan applies to the skin completely clear like a moisturizer. It then develops subtly over 4-8 hours so your tan appears gradually. Gradual tanners guarantee absolutely no transfer onto clothing.
How does Self Tan work?
The main active tanning ingredient used in Vita Liberata tanners is Dihydroxyacetone (also known as DHA), which is derived from organic sugar beet. Vita Liberata's DHA is combined with pure natural and organic ingredients that condition and nourish the skin while tanning it. The DHA reacts chemically with the amino acids found in the upper epidermis (top layer) of the skin producing coloring from yellow to brown. An individual's level of amino acids will dictate the final result of their self tan application. DHA should be left to develop on the skin between 4-8 hours for optimum results.
What does Certified Organic mean?
Certified Organic beauty products require the maximum amount of organic ingredients, minimum synthetic ingredients, minimum processing of ingredients and clear labeling so that consumers can make an informed choice.
What should I do before trying Vita Liberata tan for the first time?
We recommend carrying out a patch test 24 hours prior to applying any tanning product for the first time. Apply a small amount of the self tan behind the ear and leave for 24 hours. Although DHA allergies are extremely rare, if any contra-actions occur such as redness, swelling or
itching, avoid using the self tan and seek medical advice if it continues. If no reaction occurs then it is fine to proceed with a full body application.
How long will my Vita Liberata Tan last?
pHenomenal 2-3 Week Tan will last 4 times longer than regular tans while the rest of our collection will last 4-7 days. To achieve the best results, prep your skin by exfoliating with Super Fine Skin Polish and use Moisture Boost Body Treatment daily following your tan application to maintain it.
Can Vita Liberata Self Tans be used on the face?
Absolutely! As they contain natural ingredients and Moisture LockTM, all Vita Liberata tans are gentle enough for use on the face. We also have Self Tanning Anti Age Serum and Self Tanning Night Moisture Mask which are self tans that are designed specifically for the delicate facial skin. These tanners contain even more hydrating ingredients than our body tans and contain less DHA so they can be used regularly to maintain a subtle glow
How can I get a perfect finish on my hands and feet?
To get perfect 'beach feet' and natural looking hands, tan these areas last, using only the residue of product left on your tanning mitt. Only tan the top of your feet and hands (imagine where the sun would hit on the beach). The use a dry cloth to buff the edges of your hands and feet to blend the tan into the non-tanned areas.
How long should I wait before I go into a pool?
Ideally you should achieve the depth of color desired and then shower before going into a pool. This usually takes between 6-8 hours. Once your tan has developed you can swim but sea water and chlorinated pools may result in your tan fading more quickly.
Can I still get a sun tan through my Self Tan?
Yes, you can still get a suntan and potentially sunburn through most of our self tans. Our Self Tan Dry Oil SPF 50 with Marula contains broad spectrum protection which means your skin will be protected from harmful UVA and UVB rays, whilst still giving you a gradually developing sunless tan.
What's the difference between mousse and lotion?
Mousse is super fast drying on the skin and very easy to apply. Lotion is very hydrating and perfect for dry skin.
Will the tan transfer onto my clothes?
Our gradual self tanning products are completely non transfer. Our tinted products are also transfer resistant.
When do I need to shave before applying tan?
For best results we advise to shave at least 24 hours before applying the tan.
When can I apply moisturizer after tanning?
You can apply moisturizer once the tan has fully developed and showered off. It is important to use an oil free moisturizer as some essential oils can act as a barrier in the tan developing.
I have fair skin, what is the best tan for me?
We advise a light shade for a 'few days in the sun' glow, medium for 'a week in the sun' glow and dark for a '2 week in the sun' glow.
I have dry skin, what is the best product for me?
We advise to use a self tan lotion as this is highly moisturizing and hydrating on the skin.
Will the product streak?
No, our products don't streak but make sure you prep the skin well before use, exfoliate and don't moisturize.
Does the tan smell?
No, all of our tanning products are completely odorless.
Are we Vegan?
All Vita Liberata products are vegan friendly with the exception of Self Tanning Night Moisture Mask which includes beeswax as an ingredient.
Is Vita Liberata Gluten free?
Vita Liberata Ltd manufacture in accordance with the Cosmetics Regulations 1223/2009 and the Cosmetics Products (Safety) Directive 2008 and adhere strictly to this Regulation and Directive respectively. With regards to Soy and Gluten – although we do not intentionally use Soy or Gluten based ingredients in our products we cannot say for certain that traces of these ingredients are not in our products (e.g. raw material suppliers may well process their ingredients in a factory that does have Soy or Gluten). We do advise a patch test prior to use of all our products.
Does Vita Liberata test on animals?
Can I use tan when pregnant?
In line with Industry Standards we advise not to use tan in the first trimester. However there is nothing in our products that would be of concern when pregnant.
Will my sun spots go darker with tan?
Each skin type is different so we advise to carry out a patch test 24 hours before applying the tan.
I have eczema / psoriasis, can I use the tan?
Yes, because our products contain ingredients such as aloe vera, which has natural soothing properties, licorice which is anti-inflammatory and ginkgo biloba which is anti-bacterial they are suitable to use with these skin conditons. In addition, the moisture locking properties in our tans ensure dry skin remains hydrated.

The Rhinos went into the game as slight underdogs but led 10-4 at half-time thanks to a Matt Diskin try and six points from the boot of Kevin Sinfield.
Bradford's Shontayne Hape touched down at the start of the second half to reduce the deficit to two points.
But Danny McGuire's try five minutes from time sealed victory for Leeds.
The Rhinos drew first blood when Sinfield kicked a penalty after Joe Vagana was punished for pinching the ball in the tackle.
But Bradford scored the first try of the game, a slick passing move eventually ending with Lesley Vainikolo going over in the left corner on eight minutes.
Both sides were tackling hard, refusing to give an inch.
And the physical confrontation took its toll on Bradford's Vagana, who was forced to leave the field midway through the first half with a shoulder injury.
And, after Hape's try had been ruled out by the video referee, the lead was up to six points when Sinfield kicked another two points to put his side 10-4 up at the break.
Bradford struck right at the start of the second half when Hape went over to reduce the deficit to just two points.
But Bradford's cause was not helped by the loss of full-back Michael Withers with a leg injury.
Even with Withers, the Bulls would have struggled to break down a resolute Rhinos team.
And when McGuire jinked his way to the line five minutes from time after swapping passes with Keith Senior, the writing was on the wall for Bradford.
Sinfield's conversion made it an eight-point gap - and the Leeds fans began to celebrate a famous win.
Bradford: Withers, Reardon, Johnson, Hape, Vainikolo, Harris, Deacon, Vagana, Paul, Fielden, Peacock, Swann, Radford. Replacements: Pratt, Langley, Parker, Anderson.
Leeds: Mathers, Calderwood, Walker, Senior, Bai, Sinfield, McGuire, Ward, Diskin, Bailey, McKenna, Lauitiiti, Furner. Replacements: Burrow, Poching, McDermott, Jones-Buchanan.
Referee: Steve Ganson (St Helens).

For the first case, I am going to use the values recommended through the first four articles that I wrote about MySQL optimization. So according to them, the values used will be as follows. Let's call this first settings A.
root@ubuntu-server:~# vim /etc/mysql/my.cnf
key_buffer = 32M
thread_cache_size = 512
table_cache = 512
table_definition_cache = 512
open_files_limit = 1024
tmp_table_size = 64M
max_heap_table_size = 32M
query_cache_limit = 4M
query_cache_size = 256M
query_cache_type = 1
innodb_buffer_pool_size = 1280M
For the second configuration, called B, I am going to set by means of the parameter innodb-flush-log-at-trx-commit, when the log buffer will be written out to the log file and the flush to disk operation will be effected.
root@ubuntu-server:~# vim /etc/mysql/my.cnf
innodb-flush-log-at-trx-commit = 0
For the third combination (C), a new parameter will be added: innodb_buffer_pool_instances. With this option, it is possible to define the number of regions that the InnoDB area will be divided into.
root@ubuntu-server:~# vim /etc/mysql/my.cnf
innodb_buffer_pool_instances = 2
And finally, the size for the log file will be increased by means of innodb_log_file_size, and in this way, the graph D will be turned out (in order to be able to apply this change, first up you have to stop MySQL and remove any existing log file).
root@ubuntu-server:~# vim /etc/mysql/my.cnf
innodb_log_file_size = 256M
root@ubuntu-server:~# rm -rf /var/lib/mysql/ib_logfile*
Below you can observe the graphs generated for the different cases.
As you can appreciate in the figure, the best improvements are achieved when the size of the log file is increased from its default value (5M) to 256M. The option C, that is, to separate the InnoDB buffer into two regions gets worse in respect of the previous alternative (B).

Market Insights: Sold in 67 days: It's easy!
Editor's note: This is a series of articles about how to get your property sold in 67 days. To read the previous articles and review all 12 steps in the process, go to http://www.summitdaily.com and search for "market insights." Here is a summary of the steps to selling in 67 days 1.) Plan ahead, 2.) Know the market, 3.) Make the commitment to sell, 4.) Select your Realtor, 5.) Work as a team & prepare your property, 6.) Explode onto the market, 7.) Listen, listen, listen and 8.) Take action. This week we are covering these final steps: 9.) Don't worry, be happy, 10.) Snag the right buyer, 11.) Keep every commitment and 12.) Sign on the dotted line.
At this stage in the process you, the seller, have done everything in your control to get your property sold, which means it is time to heed the advise from the 1988 song by Bobby McFerrin with the lyrics, "In every life we have some trouble, When you worry you make it double, Don't worry, be happy …" Now, all you need to do is to sit back, relax and watch as your professional Realtor implements the marketing plan you agreed upon.
And who is the right buyer? To answer that question, let's turn the clock back to the late1960s when I was a kid and my mom was a Realtor. She often told me about her work. For some unknown reason, I actually listened. It certainly wasn't because I had any interest in real estate at the time. There was one statement she made several times that has stuck with me: "The first buyer is the best buyer." Here we are 40 years later and that statement is still accurate. I highly recommend that you seriously consider the first high-quality, reasonable and written contract you receive.And how do you know it is a high-quality and reasonable contract? First and foremost, you have selected a Realtor with experience who you trust to represent you. Secondly, you know the approximate market value of your property because you did your homework in the process of getting ready to sell (review the first couple of steps). The job is to negotiate the highest price possible and do all you can to get the first buyer under contract quickly.
The standard Colorado Contract to Buy and Sell Real Estate has over 30 defined deadlines. A typical residential contract will utilize at least 20 of these deadlines, of which several are the responsibility of the seller. In my particular case, I have a team member, Margaret Bowes, who manages these deadlines for our clients. The best strategy is to complete the required actions as early as is reasonably possible and certainly before the deadline (easy when you have an extremely experienced Realtor). The under-contract process takes several weeks and there are numerous major hurdles along the way. If the buyer is going to be getting a loan, the final deadline to watch closely is the "Loan Conditions Deadline" (Item 13 in Section 3 of the contract). This is normally the very last deadline before closing that a buyer can use to terminate the contract and receive their earnest money back.
This is in reference to the actual closing. This is the event that you have been waiting for. About 80 percent of my clients do not attend the closing as they prefer to stay home and handle the paperwork via courier. When this is the case, planning ahead is essential. Be prepared and know that just one missing signature or a delay in returning the documents could jeopardize the closing, so make sure you have reviewed your settlement statement with your Realtor before the package has been sent out. Just because you have signed the paperwork doesn't mean the transaction is complete, so the best time to celebrate is after all funds have been transferred. Now you can get out the champagne and celebrate. It's time to give yourself a pat on the back because you've successfully sold your property quickly.This series of articles started two months ago and there has been a lot to cover. To obtain all the articles together as one document, just contact me. I would be more than pleased to send the entire series to you. Happy holidays and see you next Saturday, when I will have some market insights for buyers. Love life, DWJ.Daniel Webster Johnson is a very active, full-time Realtor in Breckenridge, who has earned the national Quality Service Certified Platinum award, recognition of 100 percent client satisfaction.

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. – With improvement in their Peach Belt Conference (PBC) playoff seeding on the line, the Georgia College soccer team (5-13, 4-6 PBC) was blanked by Flagler College (9-7-1, 5-4-1 PBC) Saturday 5-0.
Two goals each by Flagler's Loren Cate and Lindsay Zullo helped send the Saints past the Bobcats. The Bobcats battled the Saints on Flagler's turf, reaching the halftime horn tied 0-0.
Zullo started the barrage just 38 seconds into the second half off a pass from Cate. A 2-0 lead came just 10 minutes later, as Zullo netted another, this time off a Jessica Jagelski pass. Zullo has now tallied eight goals on the season.
In the 74th minute, Cate knocked one off the underside of the crossbar for a 3-0 advantage. She nabbed another with just under 14 minutes left as Cate hooked up with Zullo for the former's 13th goal of the season.
The fifth and final strike came with five minutes left, as Taylor Adkins finished on her own individual effort for season goal number three.
Freshman Annie Stephens (Fayetteville, Ga.) played the full 90 minutes in net, tallying seven saves, the most in her young career. Her counterpart, Cristina Coca made five stops for the shutout.
All told, the Bobcats were out-shot 27-16, including a 12-5 deficit in shots on goal. GC did however win the corners battle 4-1. Junior Jamie Colcord (Marietta, Ga.) and senior Karen Bonilla (Manassas, Va.) led the team in shots with three each.
The loss keeps GC at eighth place in the PBC standings, the final slot to make the 2011 Peach Belt Tournament. GC will have to travel to top-seed and national No. 18 Armstrong (12-2-3, 9-0-1 PBC). The Pirates clinched the regular-season title by tying No. 11 North Georgia today. The Bobcats and Pirates met in the regular season Oct. 19, a 1-0 win for Armstrong.
GC will be back in action Tuesday, Nov. 1 at Armstrong in Savannah, Ga. with more details to come.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Susan from The Best Balsamic Ever!!! Hands down this is simply the best balsamic vinegar I have ever had. I absolutely love it! I drizzle a little over fresh strawberries, vanilla ice cream, scrambled eggs and salmon which take it to another level. It is served only in the finest restaurants in NYC and I can see why.Date published: 2017-07-13Rated 5 out of 5 by Clove from My favorite and most versatile ingredient There is no better Balsamic at this price Massimo Battura's restaurant Osteria Francescana has been ranked #1, #2 or #3 in the word for many years. He developed this vinegar to the traditional standards that he demands for his restaurant. i sampled this balsamic vinegar at my local Williams-Sonoma and bought it immediately based on its' complex flavor, various flavor notes develop on your tongue and beautiful thick consistency. I use it has a condiment and for "finishing" dishes were a complex sweet acidity will complete the flavor profile.Date published: 2017-04-12Rated 5 out of 5 by schuhshine from My Favorite Balsamic I've tried all kinds of balsamic vinegar, and this is definitely my favorite.

Highly recommended.Date published: 2016-08-24Rated 5 out of 5 by ChezMJ from If you've been buying balsamic from the grocer-- STOP! There is NO comparison to this!

'Substance' used in Syria may have killed 1,000: UN special envoy Lakhdar Brahimi
John Heilprin, The Associated Press
Published Wednesday, August 28, 2013 6:27AM EDT
Last Updated Wednesday, August 28, 2013 12:22PM EDT
GENEVA -- Evidence suggests that some kind of "substance" was used in Syria that may have killed more than 1,000 people, but any military strike in response must first gain UN Security Council approval, special envoy to Syria Lakhdar Brahimi said Wednesday.
Brahimi spoke to reporters in Geneva as UN chemical weapons experts headed to a Damascus suburb for another look at the alleged poison gas attack near Damascus on Aug. 21 and as momentum built for Western military action against Syrian President Bashar Assad's regime.
"With what has happened on the 21st of August last week, it does seem that some kind of substance was used that killed a lot of people: hundreds, definitely more than a hundred, some people say 300, some people say 600, maybe 1,000, maybe more than 1,000 people," said Brahimi, who has been the UN and Arab League's special envoy to Syria since August 2012.
"This was of course unacceptable. This is outrageous. This confirms how dangerous the situation in Syria is and how important for the Syrians and the international community to really develop the political will to address this issue seriously, and look for a solution for it," he said.
Brahimi did not say on what he based his information, but he did discuss the work of the UN team probing for evidence of the use of chemical weapons.
"The United Nations has inspectors on the spot. They have already spent one day in one area where this substance - whatever it is - has been used," he said. "They have come back with a lot of samplings, they talked also to doctors, they talked to witnesses."
He said his information did not come from Western intelligence, including what U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry has called "undeniable" evidence of a large-scale chemical attack likely launched by Assad's regime.
"What we have been told is that this evidence that the Americans, the British, the French say they have is going to be shared with us. It hasn't been until now," he said. "And we will be very, very, very interested in hearing from them what this evidence they have is."
Syria has one of the world's largest stockpiles of chemical charges, but denies the charges. U.S. leaders have not presented their proof, and UN inspectors have yet to comment on the allegations.
Brahimi called the civil war -- which has killed more than 100,000, forced about 2 million refugees from their homes and displaced millions of others -- the most serious crisis facing the international community.
But he said that any U.S.-led military action must first gain approval from the 15-nation Security Council, whose five permanent members -- Britain, China, France, Russia and the United States -- each have veto power. The United States has been laying the groundwork for a possible strike on Syria, but UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has urged nations to allow more time for diplomacy.
Britain says it will seek a measure "authorizing necessary measures to protect civilians" in Syria. They want it drafted under Chapter 7 of the UN Charter, which is militarily enforceable, when it is a political resolution that doesn't mandate any specific actions.
"International law says that military action must be taken after a decision by the Security Council," Brahimi said. "I must say that I do know that President Obama and the American administration are not known to be trigger-happy.-What they will decide, I don't know. But certainly international law is very clear: the Security Council has to be brought in."
Military intervention would certainly complicate Brahimi's efforts toward hosting a second Geneva peace conference to find a political settlement in Syria, as a follow-up on a June 2012 foreign ministers' conference, which isn't likely to occur until October or later. Brahimi moved his base of operations to Geneva this month for that reason, but he said Wednesday that he merely hopes a conference can be pulled off by the end of the year.
Although he is "against military intervention by principle," Brahimi said decisive action must come soon.
"If they are responsible for what has happened on the 21st of August," he said of the Assad regime, "I don't think you will find many people who think that this is the first outrageous thing that has been done by this regime.
"One hundred thousand people have been killed. Quite a few of them have been killed by the regime. So I think, from my point of view, if there is one complaint about the international community, it is that they haven't done enough before the 21st August. If they can do more after the 21st August, then that would be great."

Hoyt Wilhelm!
My wife really doesn't follow baseball other than watching the Angels on TV with me, so she doesn't know much about the history of the game. That means she never knows the answer to trivia questions, so a few years ago I jokingly told her to guess "Hoyt Wilhelm" because
he had such a long and interesting career.
It's actually worked on occasion, and has become a running joke between us. Anytime a trivia question is posed on a baseball telecast, she'll say, "Hoyt Wilhelm!"
Today we had an inspector in the house as part of our escrow process. He saw the Angels memorabilia on the wall and asked who was the Angels fan. He said his dad had played for the Angels in the 1960s. I asked who. He said his dad was Ed Kirkpatrick, a catcher-outfielder who signed in June 1962.
After discussing my project to write a book about the history of the Angels minor leagues, we talked about where his dad went after he left the Angels. Ed was traded to the Royals in December 1968. I asked who the Angels got in return; he couldn't recall, so I picked up an Angels Media Guide to look it up.
You guessed it … Hoyt Wilhelm!
So I turned to my wife and said, "Guess who his dad was traded for, and the hint is the possible answer to every trivia question."
She said, "Hoyt Wilhelm!"
Once again proving my theory …

Impressions: Super Mario 3D World For Wii U (Trailer Added)
In a new game announced for Wii U, Nintendo's iconic plumber will team up with Peach, Luigi, and Toad – and transform himself into a cat with a new power-up.
In the Mario series, this new title is, as the title suggests, a follow-up to Super Mario 3D Land for 3DS. However, in keeping in line with recent tradition, this Wii U title will feature four-player multiplayer similar to New Super Mario Bros. Wii and New Super Mario Bros. U. Like 3D Land, the game blends 3D and 2D style gamplay with a variety of camera angles, but plays out mostly from a more pulled-out, isometric viewpoint.
As before, the multiplayer adds a bit of chaos to the mix, but you'll always be able to catch up with your companions by floating back in a bubble when you die. The levels look to be the expertly designed platforming that we've come to expect (the game is being developed by the internal Nintendo team responsible for 3D Land and the two Galaxy titles). There are some interesting twists, however. Pipes seem to play a more prominent role and, for the first time, you'll be able to see into them. That's right, clear pipes are real. You can actually see how Mario and the gang travel through pipes. As it turns out, they don't go feet first, rather head first similar to Superman flying. These clear pipes make some new gameplay possible. You'll often enter a grid of pipes, sometimes populated cycling enemies, and use the d-pad to take different pipe paths to avoid danger.
As far as Wii U specific features, the implementation of the touch pad seems to be fairly minimal. As you would expect, the extra multiplayer players can play using Wii remotes, so there really can't be any core game commands that use the touch pad. However, the player that does control the touch pad can touch enemies to stun them for a second, much like the use of the Wii remote in "co-star" mode in Mario Galaxy.
The biggest change to the gameplay is the new cat power, which Nintendo insisted was not a "suit" but a "transformation." This is a power-up like a fire flower, etc., and once you transform into a cat, you can use your agility to perform a "pounce" roll to kill enemies. The most important way in which the cat changes the Mario gameplay is in the ability to climb up the side walls of platforms. It's cool, and will inevitably lead to a host of new secrets and hidden areas. It is limited, however, to make sure that it doesn't break the game. After climbing to a certain height, you'll slide down with your claws.
Overall, Super Mario 3D World looks to be another great addition to the Mario series. However, I was a bit disappointed that it doesn't really seem to represent a bold new direction for the series, as Mario Galaxy did on the Wii.

Mother needing to breastfeed charged with contempt of court
Posted: Oct 21, 2013 5:35 PM CDT | Updated: Nov 5, 2014 12:27 PM CDT
Lee's Summit (KCTV) -- Jury duty isn't most people's favorite thing, but imagine getting the summons while being a new mother and unable to leave the baby.
That was the case for a Lee's Summit woman whose stand is landing her a court date of her own at the Jackson County Courthouse.
Laura Trickle is fighting a charge of contempt of court all because she breastfeeds and couldn't leave her son behind to serve jury duty.
\"You're not allowed to have children there for jury duty,\" Trickle said. \"I've never even had a speeding ticket, so I have zero experience with legal issues.\"
Trickle said her 7-month-old son, Axel Graham has to be with her to eat. But that didn't get her off the hook, so she appeared for jury selection, with her baby, hoping the judge would grant an exemption, instead he gave two options.
\"I would be able to pump on breaks. Unfortunately Axel doesn't take a bottle, so that was not an option for us. The other option was to have someone stay with me all day and then be able to nurse on breaks. But since I'm a stay-at-home mom, we don't have childcare,\" she said.
So, now she is facing contempt and up to a $500 fine.
\"It has been really scary. It has been very stressful for our family,\" she said.
A St. Joseph senator is working on a bill to excuse breastfeeding mothers from jury duty. That is already the case in Kansas and 11 other states, and Trickle hopes her story can help make the change.
\"It is not right. It is not fair for us. We're just trying to do what is best for our children, and we shouldn't be penalized and fined for it,\" Trickle said.
Trickle has a hearing date Thursday in Jackson County where she will make her case to try to avoid any penalties. As she put it, $500 is a lot of diapers.
KCTV5's Alice Barr reached the judge in the case at home, but he said he was busy and couldn't comment.

Brief Synopsis
Two entertainers touring the Middle East are kidnapped by an evil sultan.
In the mythical Arab city of Port Inferno, nightclub owner Ormulu makes a deal with American singer Hazel Moon to allow magicians Peter Johnson and Harvey Garvey to perform at the club if she agrees to meet with Prince Ramo, a seemingly ardent admirer. During that night's badly received show, however, Harvey inadvertently instigates a brawl, and he, Peter and Hazel are arrested and tossed into a jail cell with a deranged derelict. Still determined to meet Hazel, Ramo slips the Americans a loaf of bread with a saw baked inside it, and despite Harvey's repeated blunders, the entertainers manage to escape. The prince then takes the trio to his desert camp and there explains that his uncle, Nimativ, usurped his throne and is a cruel despot. Ramo asks Hazel for help in reclaiming his throne, and she consents on condition that Peter and Harvey, who once helped her when she was stranded, accompany her. After they arrive at Nimativ's palace in Barabeeha, Ramo reveals his plan to the Americans: The fair-haired Hazel is to distract his blonde-crazy uncle long enough for Peter and Harvey to steal the two rings with which Nimativ hypnotizes and controls his enemies. As hoped, Nimativ is immediately taken with Hazel, but when Harvey displays a blatant interest in Nimativ's rings, Nimativ becomes suspicious and hypnotizes all three. Nimativ forces them to reveal their mission and convinces Hazel that she wants to marry him. As he is leaving with Hazel, Nimativ calls Harvey and Peter "termites," and the two imprisoned men suddenly find themselves eating furniture. After Nimativ announces to his court that the next day, Hazel is to become his thirty-eighth wife, Ramo sneaks into her room and breaks her trance by pricking her with a pin. Although angry at Ramo for placing her in danger, Hazel, who is falling in love with the prince, agrees to help him by pretending that she is still hypnotized. Ramo then awakens Harvey and Peter from their trance, and the three men attempt to escape the palace. Ramo is captured, but by claiming to be Hollywood talent scouts, Harvey and Peter talk Bobo, a gargantuan guard, and Teema, Nimativ's first wife, into allowing them to hide in the palace harem. When Nimativ comes to search the harem, Teema, who is jealous of Hazel, feigns ignorance and steals Nimativ's key to Hazel's room. From his hiding place, Harvey then steals the key from Teema, but unthinkingly hands it back to Nimativ when he demands its return from Teema. Once again, the Americans flee, but are captured and thrown into the palace dungeon. Also imprisoned in the dungeon is the crazed derelict, who converses with and "kills" an imaginary friend named Mike. Noise from Mike's "murder" alerts Bobo, and still insisting they are talent scouts, Peter and Harvey once again talk the guard into letting them escape. Finding themselves in the royal clothes closet, the magicians then put on Nimativ's and Teema's clothes. Before they can sneak out, however, Nimativ catches them and attacks Peter, who knocks him out. While Nimativ is unconscious, Peter and Harvey steal his rings, then wake him up and hypnotize him, ordering him to give Ramo back his throne. Before Nimativ can act on the command, he is pricked by a thorn from a rose that Harvey has given him and awakens from his trance. Nimativ demands that Harvey and Peter be executed, but Bobo and Teema, who is also determined to go to Hollywood, conspire to stop the beheading by starting a harem show just as the executioner's ax is about to fall. During the ensuing commotion, Ramo swarms the palace with his men, and Nimativ is routed. After Peter and Harvey send Nimativ, who has been hypnotized into believing he is a dog, to the palace "kennel," Hazel makes plans to remain with a loving Ramo. Harvey and Peter are then chauffeured out of Barabeeha, but soon discover that their driver is the deranged derelict.

New Republic of Ireland manager Martin O'Neill believes Roy Keane's appetite for football will make him an outstanding assistant second-in-command.
O'Neill joked that he could ask Sir Alex Ferguson for advice on how to handle Keane if he causes any trouble, but O'Neill is expecting nothing of the sort.
The 61-year-old incoming Republic boss, who was formally unveiled at the Gibson Hotel in Dublin on Saturday afternoon, sprang a major surprise when he approached the former Manchester United skipper to become his number two.
Keane, 42, famously returned from the Republic camp just days before the 2002 World Cup finals in the Far East after condemning the nation's preparations for the tournament and, in the process, falling out with then boss Mick McCarthy.
He recently found himself on the wrong end of a Ferguson broadside when the Scot's autobiography was published, but O'Neill insists he has no qualms about employing an assistant who could hardly enjoy a higher profile.
O'Neill said: "I am absolutely delighted he is on board. He is an iconic figure, a great, great player, one of the best players to have played in the Premier League since its inception, a great, great player, so I haven't a problem with that there.
"He went into management – I see Sir Alex Ferguson's points there that he said that perhaps Roy might have gone into management too soon. I don't really know that.
"All I do know is that from working with him over the last couple of years doing some television work on the Champions League games, I have found him very, very engaging.
"I have found his thirst for knowledge amazing. I see him at football matches when there's no need for him to be at games. He loves football.
"I think like all of us in the game, he has points to prove. I know how brilliant he was and I know how sometimes how polarised opinions can be with Roy, but I don't have a problem with that."
O'Neill added with a smile: "If you are asking about overshadowing, one of the greatest managers in the game finally decided that Roy was no longer wanted because he (Ferguson) felt he was going to be overshadowed.
"If he decides on the same thing, I might call Alex Ferguson up and see how he dealt with it.
"But all told, I think he will be great. I think he will be great for me for a start – I would like that – but more importantly, I think he will be brilliant for the Republic of Ireland."
Keane's place in the set-up was the major topic as a relaxed O'Neill was quizzed at length, and the revealed the former Ireland skipper, who was watching Aston Villa's home clash with Cardiff on Saturday, took little time to make up his mind when the possibility of working alongside him was raised.
The Ulsterman said, again with a twinkle in his eye: "I did mention to him about the possibility of working with me here, and it took him about four and a half seconds. He was absolutely delighted with it.
"I said to him the roles that we would have, and he told me that he would reverse those in about 10 minutes."
Both men, of course, played at different stages under the late Brian Clough at Nottingham Forest, and O'Neill had little doubt as to what he would have thought of their partnership.
He said: "He would have had some palpitations, I am quite sure, the same man. I think he would have worried for both of us."
O'Neill admitted he had thought long and hard about making the move from club management on to the international stage and the differences between the two before committing himself to a two-year deal.
In announcing the former Wycombe, Norwich, Leicester, Celtic, Aston Villa and Sunderland manager's appointment on Tuesday, Football Association of Ireland chief executive John Delaney revealed that he had turned down offers from Barclays Premier League clubs to take over the Ireland team.
O'Neill had been out of work since being shown the door by the Black Cats at the end of March, heralding the disastrous, if brief, Paolo Di Canio era at the Stadium of Light.
He remains hugely disappointed by the nature of his exit from the Wearside club, and was less than complimentary about the roles played by both owner Ellis Short and his successor.
Asked if he was re-energised by the challenge ahead of him, he said: "I never lost the energy or the enthusiasm.
"That was someone else's prerogative to do so. I was very disappointed, obviously.
"I felt that my record in the game might suggest that we would have accrued the last five points from seven matches to keep us in the league.
"But the owner chose otherwise and then appointed a manager for about 11 games, who just about criticised everything that went on beforehand. He is not actually in work at the moment.
"It's gone. I never lost the energy, I never lost the enthusiasm. It was always there. That's what keeps me going."
O'Neill's players are due to meet in Portmarnock on Monday evening to begin training the following day ahead of the friendlies against Latvia and Poland, although his longer-term focus is qualification for Euro 2016.
He said: "John [Delaney] has told me that it's my remit to get the team to France. My contract lasts for the duration of the time that the Republic are in the Euros, and that is my driving ambition."
