Buffalo provides Data Recovery services. Read about it here.
I'd appreciate any help.
I recently bought a LinkStation Pro XHL 1TB. I am in the process of installing it and have found that when I click on the manual.html file on the CD I come to a page (http://buffalo.jp/support_s/guide/faq/lsxhl/en/lsxhl.html)
entitled General questions for Linkstation's users that has a few links on it, including User Manual (english).
Clicking on this Manual link brings me to.... the same page. This page has 5 other links on it. One brings me the The Knowledge Base on this site (with few XHL posts) and the others address specific questions, such as understanding a backup log.
Additionally, when I am using the LinkStation web page to set up my NAS, clicking on the manual link only brings me back to this same unhelpful page.
My question is: where is the manual? I have some basic questions (this being my first NAS) and would like a resource. There is no real support for the XHL on this site other than a few posts in this forum. I am sure that I will 95% of the time not need to post here for answers if I just had some documentation. Is my problem somehow Mac specific? Other XHL owners: how are you accessing a manual?
2nd question: While NASNavigator2 runs fine, LinkNavigator tells me that there are no LinkStations on the network. I can put a document on my LinkStation using the Finder ( I am on a Mac) and it is shareable and, I believe, working. Does LinkNavigator contain the various wizards to help with setup? I would prefer to add my Users and Permissions automatically, which I referenced in the slight documentation that I have been able to find, and to learn more about the feature and options.
Where should I go?
edit: I have since found the Japanese manual in the Info-->Japanese folder of the LinkStation and from the pictures, seems great. Hmm... The site that it sent me to was .jp as well. CD and everything else is in English.
1) This site> Support> Downloads> LS Pro XHL> Under documentation, D/L the Manual. I tested it and it is the full 64 page manul in English.
2) If you can access the GUI and the data portions on the drive you are in good shape and shouldn't need to the LinkNavigator. If you want to put access restrictions on the folders then you would need to do so through the Web GUI.
I hope this answers your questions
1) I will gladly now download the manual.
However, it did not appear in the support downloads until yesterday. Is it not a bit strange that the manual would be first made available in English so long after the product was being offered and purchased?
2) Glad to know that I don't need LinkNavigator.
Thank you for your quick response.

Corgi 1/120 BR 4-6-2 A4 Class 'Dwight D Eisenhower' 60008 A4 Gathering 2013 SPECIAL EDITION ST97505
'Golden Shuttle' No. 4496 entered traffic in September 1937 in the LNER Garter Blue livery. Throughout the Second World War No. 4496 was painted in wartime black as were the majority of locomotives and on LNER locomotives they also removed the 'L' and the 'R' leaving 'NE '. It has sometimes been believed that this was done to confuse spies but also to reduce the materials and labour needed to maintain the locomotive.

Vegan side dishes may sound obvious, but many vegetable side dishes contain butter, milk, or other additions that make them not so friendly for those trying to adhere to a vegan diet. I searched the Patty Cake's Pantry website and collected all of my vegan side dishes. This collection, along with my vegan entrees, and vegan soups helped me to more fully realize that I already had a repertoire of vegan recipes I could draw upon to help get me through my 30 days of vegan.
Tag: brussel sprouts
Spicy Brussel Sprouts and Tomatoes
Roasted Spicy Brussel Sprouts and Tomatoes is a tasty and delicious vegetable side dish that goes well with almost any meat entrée. The best part is that they are prepared in one pan, so clean up is simple. This recipe was inspired by two things–an over abundance of brussel sprouts and the need for a side dish that would go well with a Mexican inspired dinner entrée. The solution was to cook the brussel sprouts with a spicy tomato blend and onions.
Roasted Brussel Sprouts with Bacon
Roasted Brussel Sprouts with Bacon are fast becoming a favorite vegetable side dish in our house. Brussel sprouts are tossed with a little olive oil and chopped bacon before being roasted in the oven. Made this way, brussel sprouts are a simple and delicious side dish for your weeknight dinner. We know that you will love Roasted Brussel Sprouts with Bacon as much as we do, so give this recipe a try.
Bacon Wrapped Brussel Sprout Skewers
Bacon Wrapped Brussel Sprout Skewers are a simple and satisfying vegetable side dish that's sure to please your family. There's something about the combination of crispy bacon and soft brussel sprouts that makes this dish amazing. The ingredient list is incredibly short, and the final product looks impressive

29th December, 2015 to 2nd January, 2016 | Goa
Anahata Retreats together with Deepika Mehta bring to you a unique and spectacular way to bring in the New Years. Instead of mindless revelry, exhausting social dos and binge drinking leading to hangovers and a groggy welcome to the New Years, this retreat presents to you the opportunity to bring in the New Year with good health, great people, a meditative and peaceful state of mind ready to face on the challenges for the coming year.
With a beautifully designed schedule full of invigorating yoga with Deepika Mehta and energising ayurveda and raw food menu, this retreat is designed to energise, re-charge and rejuvenate you.
In 1997, a near death rock climbing accident had the doctors tell Deepika Mehta that she would never walk again. Not one to allow obstacles to deter her spirit and enthusiasm for life, she sought out alternative healing practices and found the age old Indian discipline of Yoga. Deepika then immersed herself into years of intense practice of yoga, meditation and pranayama. She initially went to the Sivananda Yoga Kendra in Kerala, where she did her teachers training. From there she was led to the practice of Ashtanga Yoga and to meeting her Guru,Shri K Pattabhi Jois in 2002.
She has also travelled to various parts of the world studying with various masters like Richard Freeman, Dena Kingsberg, Prem Carlisi, Lino Miele, and Rolf Naujokat. She is currently a student of Sharath Jois and is learning Advanced A Series with him.
Deepika has her own TV show called Yoga City. She has been the master trainer on the show "The Biggest Loser" in India. She has been featured as one of the three women redefining beauty ideals in India in Vogue magazine 2014, has been the face of the fitness campaign 2015 in Elle India, and has been featured in various other publications. Deepika has also given a Dance/Yoga presentation and talk at the TedX event at the UN Headquarters in NYC.
Nestled in the lap of luxury, The Devaaya Ayurveda & Naturopathy Resort is an oasis of wellness and rejuvenating energy that at once heals and relaxes. On the serene and peaceful island of Divar, Devaaya is the only resort and sits pretty amongst the peace loving, happy and ever-smiling population of a few hundred Divar's residents. A short boat ride from mainland Goa, Divar is adjacent to the acclaimed Salim Ali's Bird Sanctuary. Backwaters of the beautiful Mandovi river surround the island, enriching our experience with a spectacular view at all times.
The menu for our esteemed guests is personally prepared by Bijay J. Anand in consultation with ayurveda and naturopathic doctors of Devaaya. Delicious vegetarian Indian cuisine, balanced to nourish the three doshas of kapha, vata and pita, the cuisine is designed to be healing and detoxifying.
For those who wish to enhance their festival experience with some authentic ayurvedic treatments such as abhyanga masssages, facials and shirodhara, Devaaya offers the best therapists who will pamper you and use their considerable knowledge, experience and expertise for treatments.

Governments all over the world are developing electronic services as they found out the importance and benefits of e-government and its applications for citizens, businesses and governmental agencies (Alshehri & Drew, 2010; Lee et al., 2003; Mishra & Mishra, 2012). Nowadays because of vast networks of interacting organizations, responding to complex problems of societies and providing solutions and improvement of private sector in e-business, the traditional model of government is not working any longer. In fact, governments realized the vital necessity of improvement in order to sustain their position in the global and local competition (Davidrajuh, 2004; Hassan et al., 2011; Sharifi & Zarei, 2004).
Nowadays, different governments have seized the opportunities provided by information and communication technology as the ideal way to rethink and reformulate their administrative works. This restructuring concentrates not only on the internal aspects involved, but also on those related to the interaction between government and other organizations, social groups and citizens.
However, there are few research studies on e-government in general and specially in developing countries and most of these studies focus on general e-government implementation framework (Alshehri & Drew, 2010). The technological infrastructure aspect of e-government dominated most research studies. For example, Leigh and Atkinson (Davidrajuh, 2004; Hassan et al., 2011; Leigh & Atkinson, 2002; Mishra & Mishra, 2012) focused their work on evaluating government's web sites and provided recommendations on how to improve the design and functions of web sites to make them more useful and easier to use by citizens. Other researchers discussed the G2G issues in depth such as Ezz (2003) who focused on government adoption to e-government in Egypt and concluded that e-government adoption may have a limited impact unless the decision making process is better understood and the related organisational problems are addressed.
Yet others investigated the barriers and challenges to e-government such as technological, financial, governmental, managerial, and political problems (Gilbert et al., 2004). Certainly the importance of these studies is not denied, but very little has been written on citizens' Trust in e-government in both developed and developing countries. There is many researchers talked about trust in e-commerce or on line shopping (e.g., Kini & Choobineh, 1998; Lee & Turban, 2001; Walczuch et al., 2001; Chong et al., 2003; Gefen, Karahanna et al., 2003; Gefen, Rao et al., 2003; Kim et al., 2003, Salam et al., 2005; Wang & Emurian 2005; Hassan et al., 2011), however very little have been written on trust in e-government (e.g., Merrill Warkentin et al., 2002) and nothing so far in the issue in developing countries in general and Middle East in particular.

Parry-Romberg syndrome: rare disorder of progressive facial hemiatrophy. Slowly progressive atrophy of the soft tissues of one side of the face, associated with trigeminal neuralgia and involvement of the eyes and hair. Muscles, cartilage and the underlying bony structures may also be involved.
The prevalence is estimated to be at least 1/700,000 individuals, women being slightly more affected than men.
PHA usually presents during the first 20 years of life, characterized by slowly progressive unilateral atrophy of various tissues (skin, connective tissue, fat, muscle and rarely, underlying bony structures) in the territory of the 5th cranial nerve.
Seizures and headaches are the most common neurologic symptoms. Ophthalmologic anomalies (enophthalmos, globe retraction, ptosis, iris heterochromia, uveitis, retinal vasculitis, glaucoma and eyelid atrophy) may result in visual impairment or blindness
1825 – Caleb Hillier Parry included an account of the condition now known as progressive hemifacial atrophy. This description appeared in Collections from Unpublished Papers in 1825, 3 years after his death, published by his eldest son, the physician, Charles Henry Parry.
1846 – Romberg gave a complete description of the disorder Trophoneurosen in Klinische Ergebnisse 1846 pp75-81

I've been digging the Netflix Random Picks suggestions in our queue. A couple of interesting picks we've watched recently:
First up, a 2011 thriller called The Awakening. This is what we'll offer as Exhibit A in how to do a chilly, slightly scary movie well. Not perfect, but The Awakening was creepy, had a couple of decent scares, moved along fairly quickly, and had a nice resolve. Acting was good, script avoided cheese, and you can forgive the few random bits that don't seem to have anything to do with the rest of the movie. We'll call them red herrings. Plus, Dolores Umbridge! A solid 6 mangoes and pretty good watch on an overcast stay-home kind of day.
And then we have Devil, the 2010 offering from M. Night Shyamalan. Or, Exhibit A in how to NOT do a chilly, slightly scary movie well. There was some creepy factor, some gross-out bits that weren't too gross, but I just didn't really care that much. My favorite guy was the poor Catholic security guard that no one took seriously until it was too late, and that's not saying much. I'm going to be generous here with a 3 mango rating. M. Night, I miss you. Come back to us.
One of my favorite things about netflix, I'm learning, is that it reminds me of the displays near the check out computers at the library. Sometimes it's fun to pick up a book just because the cover looks interesting. The random picks has some stinkers, true, but it's fun to take the chance knowing you can always hit your back button and try again.

Faces at Kunmingnan Railway Station during Chunyun
With Spring Festival (the Chinese Lunar New Year) around the corner, Chunyun, or the Spring Festival travel rush, began on February 1. The massive migration will last 40 days during which 2.98 billion trips are expected to be made nationwide. Among them, 390 million are train trips.
For Chinese people, Spring Festival means yearly family reunions as they mostly work in various places of the country. As rails connect homes, workplaces and tour destinations, railway station is where stories take place.
Well, let us get to know some typical faces at Kunmingnan Railway Station on February 6, as well as the stories behind them.
Mr. Wang and his brother: Passengers to reach home within two hours
Mr. Wang came to the station with his brother at dawn that day. They planned to take the G2934 high-speed rail train from Kunming, capital of Yunnan Province to Tongren, a city in Yunnan's neighboring Guizhou Province.
"We're from Guizhou and work as railway builders in Yunnan. We are going home to celebrate the Spring Festival. I miss my grandson, and he must be taller now," Wang said, wearing a contented smile. He bought gifts and specialties for his families.
Wang added he had been away for a year, and all he wants is having a nice Spring Festival instead of making money. Thanks to the high-speed railway, their journey is shortened to two hours from previous eight hours. If everything goes well, they'll have dinner at home in the same day.
Wang Nan and Li Mengmei: Ticketing staff working up to 18 hours per day
The ticket office is one of the busiest places in the Kunming rail station. Ticketing staff members have to come to their working places before 6 am and they will be working until 23:20. Totally they serve the passengers for about 18 hours.
"Usually, our daily workload is around eight hours, but as it is in Chunyun, we are working overtime," Said Wang Nan, a ticketing staff. She would feel it a big pity if any passenger failed to buy a ticket to go home. She said they will try different ways to find transfer tickets or more indirect train options if the through-train tickets are sold out.
90 ticket-vending machines in the station are also working overtime. Replenishing tickets for vending machines is the job of Li Mengmei. "During peaks of passengers flow, we need to lug two cases to pour tickets into the machines, and each case can contain as many as 33,000 tickets. And with the help of two other males, we can carry them upstairs."
Huang Rong: Only 7.5 seconds needed for each security check
Huag Rong, 25, is doing security checker at the west entrance of Kunmingnan Railway Station. She begins to work at 03:30 in the morning and finishes until 11:00 in the evening.
As staff members in the security section, they have to bend over 1,000 times in 30 minutes although they take half-hour turns to check. She believes the job is very important. Every time when passengers get annoyed, she will explain with patience.
She has been working in security section for four years, representing a four-year absent from her Spring Festival family reunion.
Xuan Haijuan: Solving a ticket-loss within three minutes
"As it is in Chunyun period, the number of passenger is increasing rapidly. Relying only on automatic ticket gates are far from enough, so we improve efficiency via manual ticket checking," said Xuan Haijuan, a ticket inspector at the station.
She then suddenly stopped by a passenger in a rush and told her that his ticket is missing. Xuan Haijuan placated him and contacted the ticket center immediately. After confirming the passenger had bought the ticket via his ID card number, Xuan let him pass the entrance and told him that it will be fine if he explains to the conductor on the train.
The process, which is a key to the passenger's trip, took only three minutes.
Fang Ting: stepping 20,000 times on the train each day
"My duties include ensure the safety of the train, keep communications with the train driver, guarantee quality of services and solve problems for passengers." Fang Ting, a train conductor, said. Every time when Fang's train rolls away from Kunmingnan Station, she also needs to pay special attention to the blind and passengers on wheelchair.
Inspecting constantly on the train is the way for a train conductor to make sure everything is under control. The inspection is also where the record of the 20,000 steps comes into being on her cell phone. She stayed on the train during the Spring Festival for two consecutive years. Fang burst into tears when her mother said that she was mopping the floor of Fang's room.
Fang's boyfriend is also a train conductor but he works on a different route. Fortunately, both of them come back to the station at night. As a train conductor, she also witnessed some happy occasions when some passengers held wedding ceremonies on the train.
Zhou Xiaowen: Answering ten phones in front of him
Passengers know time and place to aboard easily. Although comes and goes of each train seems in perfect order, it is a complicated operation accomplished by the watch keeper behind a screen. While the number of station tracks is certain, the figure of trains pulled in and pulled out are changing.
Therefore Zhou's job is to make sure all the trains are in the right track and arrive in time through advance calculations. Over ten telephones are placed on his table, but his mobile phone is locked far away in a box. He felt guilty and thankful to his families as they understand him and never disturb him during work time.
Yang Yong: A volunteer for facial recognition machines
With the outdoor temperature of three degrees below zero, Yang, who is a student in college, got up at 6 am. It is the fifth day of his volunteer service together with other 53 college students. Yang is responsible for the post of face identification.
His work is to match train ticket, ID card and facial features of the passenger and assist them to enter the station. It only needs two seconds for a face identification and the whole station is in good order because the effort of each staff.
Further reading: Kunmingnan Railway Station
The station sits in Kunming City, capital of southwest China's Yunnan Province and is one of the comprehensive transportation hub in west China. It is an important international railway channel as it is the note among eight entry routes to Yunnan and five outbound exits from the province.
The first high-speed train from Kunmingnan Railway Station to Guiyangbei Railway Station (a section of Shanghai—Kunming passenger high-speed train), and high-speed train from Kunming South Railway Station to Baise Railway Station(Guangxi Province) whistled and pulled out Kunmingnan Railway Station on Dec. 28, 2016 at the same time, announcing Yunnan entered the age of high-speed train. A year passed and the station has offered services for nearly 10 million passengers.

Congratulations to Katherine Grainger (Law, 2012), and current History student and King's Sport Performance Athlete, Dina Asher-Smith, on their fantastic achievement in qualifying for the Rio Olympics. Katherine is seeking to add to her three silver medals and her gold from London 2012. For Katherine and her skulls' partner Vicky Thornley, this is reward for a long and challenging qualifying campaign having missed out on a podium place in the European Championships earlier this year. Congratulations to Katherine and good luck in her fifth Olympics as she equals Sir Steve Redgrave's record.
Heading for her first OlympicsOn the track, Britain's fastest woman Dina Asher-Smith raced into the Rio squad with a winning time of 23.11 seconds in the 200m at the British Championships. Dina is working hard to balance her History degree studies with training, and we wish her all the best in her first Olympics.
Looking to the future Other Olympic hopefuls who narrowly missed out on qualification include King's Sport Performance Athletes Laviai Nielsen, in the 400m, and Shona Richards in the 400m hurdles. While it wasn't to be on this occasion, we want to congratulate both Laviai and Shona on their fantastic effort and look forward to seeing them on the Olympic stage in the future. We would also like to commend the valiant efforts of Paralympic track and road cyclist Liz Saul (Global Development, 2012), who was unlucky to miss out on the squad for Rio, facing stiff competition from some very experienced cyclists.
Whatever the outcome, the entire King's community is behind our Olympic hopefuls and will be ready to cheer them on next month.

ANGELS ARE HERE! Angels with Nightsticks For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways . . . PSALMS 91:11 Steven Rogers was a rookie officer in the Nutley, New Jersey, police department in 1977 when he was assigned to be partners with Phil. Not only was Phil older and wiser, he was also an outspoken Christian. For the impulsive and sometimes rebellious Steve, Phil became a role model. Daily, before their shift, the two men would pray or read from the Bible, often reciting the Ninety-first Psalm, the one that commits us to God's care and summons angels when we are in danger. Nutley had a growing problem. Recreational areas were being overrun with teenagers drinking, taking drugs, and vandalizing property. Police knew where the kids congregated, but whenever they raided the gatherings, most slipped away and could not be found. Apparently the teens had a hideout - but where? None of the police officers had been able to find it. One day Steve and Phil were assigned to plainclothes duty. They were to dress like the kids and, it was hoped, discover their hideout and the source of their drugs. That night they stationed themselves in a secluded wooded area and watched the young people fighting, cursing, and destroying property. "What I saw sickened me," Steve relates. "I realized we were not dealing with a few kids 'having fun,' but with many who were hard-core drug addicts with minds out of control. Many were invoking Charles Manson, or performing obscene acts. If this behavior spread, it could threaten the whole city." The main source of the drugs, it appeared, was a young man the officers dubbed Mr.Big because of his apparent emotional hold on the group. The next day the officers went to the scene of the gathering, prayed for guidance, and began to check it inch by inch. They soon came across a well-worn path covered with branches. The path led to a cleverly concealed cave. Inside, the officers found pills, liquor, pornographic material, and marijuana. Here was where so many young people eluded the police. That night, they decided, they would raid the cave. Before their shift, they requested extra backup, but they were told they were on their own. How could two officers handle a bunch of aggressive kids all alone? Once again, the men prayed the Ninety-first Psalm. Then they strolled toward the crowd already gathering near a railroad embankment. Mr.Big was there, they noted. "We wanted to apprehend him first, because we felt many of the kids would discontinue their illegal activities if he wasn't around." Steve explains. But as they approached, a girl recognized them. "Cops!" she screamed. The crowd scattered. Steve and Phil went after the girl, caught her, and called for a backup squad. By now some of the others, they knew, would be hidden in the cave. Despite the fact that they were hopelessly outnumbered, they found the hidden path and walked boldly into the entrance. "Freeze!" Steve shouted, and not a person in the cave moved. Steve ran his eyes across the group. At least twelve of them. And they had caught Mr.Big! Phil walked over to Mr.Big and asked for the package he was holding. Meekly the young man handed over a bag of pills. Steve gathered other evidence, read everyone his rights, then stood in bewilderment, staring at the cave floor covered with submissive teens who could have easily overpowered the two officers. Why hadn't they put up a fight? The van pulled up, and as they led the prisoners out of the cave, Steve turned to Mr.Big. "Why didn't you or any of the others try to attack us when we came in?" "You think I'm crazy or something?" Mr.Big asked. "There were at least twenty guys in blue uniforms, and it would have been stupid to think of fighting or running." "Twenty? No, there were just the two of us." "Yeah?" Mr.Big called to another young prisoner. "Belinda, how many cops came into the cave?" Belinda shrugged. "At least twenty-five." It was then that Steve remembered the words he and Phil recited so faithfully: "You will not fear the terror of the night ... for he will command his angels concerning you...." Within nine months of the time Steve and Phil had been assigned to this special duty, they had made 250 arrests - more than the department's annual total. Former hangouts of drug addicts and vandals were deserted, and Nutley neighbor-hoods flourished. Whenever anyone complimented the officers on their accomplishments, they gave credit to Jesus for protecting them and helping them solve the crimes. Jesus ... and a very special squad in blue. ..............

Find out what happens to the hapless young detective from Naples who travels to an Italian hillside town to find out Who Killed the Mayor? and the pretentious schoolboy in A Road to Damascus, whose discovery of the origins of his father's wealth changes his life in the most profound way. Revel in the stories of the 1930s woman who dares to challenge the men at her Ivy League University in A Gentleman and A Scholar while another young woman who thumbs a lift gets more than she bargained for in A Wasted Hour.

One of the number one rug design rules is to choose a rug that is large enough for the size of your room. A small rug will make your room look smaller, so you want a rug that is large enough to fit underneath the legs of your furniture.
If you live in a home or apartment designed with an open floor plan, how do you style a rug? With this design plan, it doesn't make sense to choose a rug that fits the size of your room, because it would simply be too big. Additionally, you want to break up your open floor plan into sections—almost like you're creating mini rooms within one large room. In an open floor plan, there are several design rules to follow to optimize your space and create a cohesive style. Here is how to use a rug in an open floor plan.
Create Sections
Before you can choose rugs for your open floor plan, you need to section off specific areas in the open floor plan. For example, you may have a dining table. Wherever you place that table will be an imaginary dining room. If you have a TV and couch, that is the living room.
Once you have your imaginary sections, you can complement each imaginary room with the right-sized rug. For the dining area, place a large rug that fits underneath the legs of the table and all of the chairs. Make sure this rug extends slightly beyond the legs of the chairs. This technique will really section off the dining area to make it feel like its own room. The same rules apply to the living space. Make sure the rug goes underneath the front legs of the couch, and underneath the front legs of your TV stand.
Cohesive Colors
When designing an open floor plan, choosing random colors won't work in your favor. While you have the flexibility of making each room a different color scheme and theme in a multi-room house, an open floor plan will require you to choose a cohesive color scheme that helps the room look fresh and put together. For an open floor plan, choose 2-4 colors that you'll incorporate, and make sure the variety of rugs you choose match well.
For example, perhaps right when you walk in you have a camel and light grey rug. Then, underneath your dining table you have a neutral rug with medium grey stripes. So far, you're keeping a consistent style of neutral and grey colors. Finally, you notice in the front hall rug there are touches of rose and khaki. For the living area, you find a geometric, modern rug that has rose, khaki, and grey. You found three very different and beautiful rugs, but the color schemes are the same, and these colors will define the theme of your open room.
Pairing Patterns
You probably love a variety of styles and patterns—if so, you are not alone, but when it comes to an open floor plan, you don't want to overdo it. When choosing the patterns for your rugs in an open floor plan, you want to stick to a common pattern type.
In the previous example, each of the rugs were modern and geometric. In a room with geometric rugs, you don't want to add a traditional, floral or bohemian style rug. If you are going to add a more complex pattern with a variety of designs and colors, keep the rest of the rugs in the room neutral and plain, or even solid colors. If you choose a pink floral pattern on a turquoise rug for the main area of the room, choose a simple turquoise print with minimal floral underneath the dining area.
Another technique for an open floor plan is to layer your rugs. Sometimes an open floor plan can feel too big, cold and empty. Layering your rugs creates a cozy atmosphere and gives life to a large and sometimes empty space. When layering rugs, you won't feel the need to fill your room with a bunch of unnecessary furniture. Layering rugs also fills your space with texture, which makes it more inviting.
So how do you layer rugs in an open floor plan? Underneath a vintage Aztec rug, place a larger natural fiber rug for the ultimate bohemian, au-natural space. In another area of the room, you can layer a round, natural fiber rug on top of one corner of a Moroccan print rug. Significantly increase the style of your open floor plan by layering smaller shag rugs on top of a variety of rugs in the room.
Playing With Shapes
There are several reasons you may want to play with a variety of different shapes in your open floor plan. Do you have an island or kitchen counter in your open floor plan? If so, finding a long and narrow rug to line the front of the countertop will look polished and warm. This same shape and style goes well underneath TV tables or entrance tables.
If you need to create a mock hallway or path, use a long and narrow rug to do so tastefully. If you have a round stool or ottoman, place a round rug underneath the stool or ottoman. In the front entrance or back door, a small half rug will look nice and take up much less space. The same rules apply when using a variety of shapes. Avoid mixing and match lots of colors and stick to a cohesive color scheme. Avoid using a bunch of different patterns, and try to make sure the rugs match the style of the room and other rugs in the room.

The Smarter Fuel Choice
The arrival of Autogas at a Needham Market filling station has given continued fuel for thought to local motorists and passing traffic.
That's because at the newly rebranded Shell garage next to the busy A14, it typically costs around half to fill up a car converted to run on Autogas LPG than it does with petrol or diesel.
And with petrol prices recently reaching record levels and many household budgets feeling the economic squeeze, the entrance of Autogas, a joint venture between Shell and Calor, couldn't be better timed.
Paul Oxford, business development manager, Autogas, said: "If ever there was a time to switch to LPG then it must be now. Hard hit motorists have been faced with diesel and petrol prices going through the roof but if they are filling up with Autogas then they typically pay around half the price. Indeed, drivers filling up this week with LPG from the new site will pay 68.9 pence per litre compared with 130.9 for unleaded petrol."
Other benefits include greener motoring as vehicles running on LPG emit far fewer of the harmful emissions associated with traditional road fuels that contribute to environmental and health problems.
Being a Shell site also means that Autogas drivers can enjoy the benefits offered by the Shell Drivers' Club when they fill up, including money off Shell fuel and shopping vouchers.
The new Autogas refuelling station at Needham Market is part of an on-going expansion programme which will see Autogas add a further 20 sites to its UK network in 2012. Indeed, there are currently more than 1,400 LPG refuelling stations in the UK making it readily and easily available.
Shell Needham Market, Norwich Road, Coddenham, IP6 8LP – the site is located at the junction of the A14 and A140 between Ipswich and Stowmarket.

Christina recalls how she coped with the sudden deaths of her sister and brother-in-law.
My sister died five months ago, almost exactly five months ago, and it was a very sudden, accidental death that no one was expecting. Her husband had died two months before that from cancer. So that was almost easier in a sense because everybody in the family was prepared. He had been sick for several months and had been preparing himself to die. And so by the time he went, it was partially a lot of sadness and grief, but also a feeling of relief for his sake that he wasn't suffering anymore.
When my sister died it was sudden, accidental, a mistake, is kind of how we thought. They had two young sons, and it made it even more tragic. It was a devastating loss and sort of unreal for a long time, and the grief experience has been very interesting because five months out, I am just barely beginning to feel it.
Because I had three children of my own and I was pregnant and ended up taking on two more children and that now I had six children, I had to pull it together. I had to keep myself together in order to help them with their grief, especially my two new sons, my nephews who lost their mom and their dad within two months and what that did to them.
So I really felt like I had to hold it together for them, and I am just realizing now how much I was in shock for all those months. I lost another sister actually 14 years ago to cancer, and that was a totally different grief experience. I kind of held it together for two months, and then after two months I started to have physical symptoms. I had a toothache, and I was clinching my jaw, and I had stomach problems, and finally I realized they were all grief experienced physically.
But this time I had, with this loss of my sister a few months ago, it's been way more intense and impacted my life in so many areas because of taking on her children that, I don't know, like I said, it's just barely starting to come, and what I am feeling now is sadness and anger and confusion and even a loss of identity, kind of not knowing who I am anymore. It's just a very complex thing – grief.
And the problem with the grief is that there's no one way to do it. And I am a psychologist and I know, I specialize in grief. I help people with grief all the time. But it doesn't prevent me from having it myself, and it doesn't make, just because I know about what grief is supposed to look like, it doesn't mean that my pattern of grief is going to follow that pattern. In fact, everybody is going to have a completely different experience with grief.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.... Sorry, I just had to laugh about the fact that when Obama stated we were going to go into Afghanistan and occupy it because the terrorist where there, I questioned it thinking that they were all in Iran already or... you know, they weren't actually there. So when it's made clear the real reason why we are occupying that country, as you can see in this news story, I just have to laugh because if I don't, I'd start to cry..
U.S. Discovers Vast Riches of Minerals in AfghanistanSo all this time this was the reason why Afghanistan was the "right" war. And here I thought it was all a CIA ruse to control the opiate trade. Well, it's not like we were every going to leave Afghanistan anyway, right? I think I saw a movie about this once, only it had a bunch of sexy blue cat-people in it.
WASHINGTON — The United States has discovered nearly $1 trillion in untapped mineral deposits in Afghanistan, far beyond any previously known reserves and enough to fundamentally alter the Afghan economy and perhaps the Afghan war itself, according to senior American government officials.
The previously unknown deposits — including huge veins of iron, copper, cobalt, gold and critical industrial metals like lithium — are so big and include so many minerals that are essential to modern industry that Afghanistan could eventually be transformed into one of the most important mining centers in the world, the United States officials believe.
An internal Pentagon memo, for example, states that Afghanistan could become the "Saudi Arabia of lithium," a key raw material in the manufacture of batteries for laptops and Blackberries.
The vast scale of Afghanistan's mineral wealth was discovered by a small team of Pentagon officials and American geologists. The Afghan government and President Hamid Karzai were recently briefed, American officials said.
While it could take many years to develop a mining industry, the potential is so great that officials and executives in the industry believe it could attract heavy investment even before mines are profitable, providing the possibility of jobs that could distract from generations of war.
"There is stunning potential here," Gen. David H. Petraeus, commander of the United States Central Command, said in an interview on Saturday. "There are a lot of ifs, of course, but I think potentially it is hugely significant."
The value of the newly discovered mineral deposits dwarfs the size of Afghanistan's existing war-bedraggled economy, which is based largely on opium production and narcotics trafficking as well as aid from the United States and other industrialized countries. Afghanistan's gross domestic product is only about $12 billion.
"This will become the backbone of the Afghan economy," said Jalil Jumriany, an adviser to the Afghan minister of mines.
American and Afghan officials agreed to discuss the mineral discoveries at a difficult moment in the war in Afghanistan. The American-led offensive in Marja in southern Afghanistan has achieved only limited gains. Meanwhile, charges of corruption and favoritism continue to plague the Karzai government, and Mr. Karzai seems increasingly embittered toward the White House.
So the Obama administration is hungry for some positive news to come out of Afghanistan. Yet the American officials also recognize that the mineral discoveries will almost certainly have a double-edged impact.
Instead of bringing peace, the newfound mineral wealth could lead the Taliban to battle even more fiercely to regain control of the country.
This whole thing is a pretty huge discovery, I guess. Afghanistan goes from not having really anything to being the new minerals envy of the world in one short stroke. The lithium deposits are probably particularly appealing to the U.S. so they don't have to deal with Commie scum in Bolivia.
Oh yes, a mineral wealth in a country already the most corrupt in the world? Fuck yes! Couldn't ask for a better way to start a week off. Afghanistan is going to be America's biggest strip mine - move over West Virginia, we got a new player in the game!
I do have to laugh about the "Just found out" part. Ha! This has been known for a long time, it is an untapped resource that can be held through military power, of course we are in there. Would you look at all this awesome stuff in this country we invaded and occupied? How unexpected and lucky for us! I just can't believe America's luck on this whole war on terror thing. How lucky we are, I tell you! Though if there is actually a lot of lithium, then China is going to freak the fuck out.
Those poor heroin growers and traffickers, they don't know what hit them and what will hit them next. Why yes, I do hope these new found riches bring the Afgahni people many generations of prosperity and good will.. Though we both know that shit isn't going to happen.
You see, if a country is at a certain development level, discovering more resources is generally positive, see for example OPEC nations, etc. Unfortunately if they are not of that level a wealth of resources seems to have a purely negative effect. See as an example the Congo and hell, all of Africa. Look how rich the average Jamican is thanks to Alcoa. Afghanistan obviously falls in the second category. So I can't really see even a glimmer of hope in what should otherwise be a joyous occasion for its people.
Afghanistan will be horribly exploited, of course. The average Afghan is going to get zip.shit for this, just like the resource rich nations in Africa have people who are poor as shit. At least the opium will dull the pain of 14 hour mining days.
How did they even make this discovery? Whoops, we accidentally shipped a team of geologist and their equipment to our temporarily occupied territory. Might as well let them look around while we arrange return flights home. Maybe they stumbled across the precious metals while going through one of those supposed underground mazes Osama was hiding in. Imagine that, finding minerals in a region renowned for its mountains? What a shock!
But do people still honestly think we fight wars to spread democracy, freedom and the American way? I guess the last one is true since the American way is capitalism and.. well, we all know that's about fucking over your fellow man. But really, Americans have been brainwashed by multiple generations into believing this bullshit. It's all about greed. Always was and always will be. Just watch China as they invade and actually succeed in Afghanistan.
All in the name of new laptops!


text: I planned on doing a build thread on this, but since I knew the nose cone was going to be a learning process, I postponed. Never made a foam cone before and I also had great concerns about how to put a hard surface on it. Found a killer deal on a damaged sheet of 2" extruded polystyrene foam board and so the search was on for adhesives and coverings. This being a 6" nose cone made it senseless for me to consider turning it with balsa. That would be a pricey special order. I chose to try using Great Stuff as an adhesive and was quite satisfied with its ability to hold the pieces together. Too bad that I had to learn later that stacking disks of foam would have been way easier than stacking flat cuts that I chopped down to size with a hot knife. The knife was a big mistake as it charred the outer surface making it a bear to work down on the lathe. (this is a cut off from the block I am using. Quite charred and crystallized.) I also found out about using another adhesive just a bit late and I now have it for the next one. Glidden makes a primer called GRIPPER, that the "foam board community" in Hollywood and the artist that make large Halloween props have used for years. My tests with it went so well that I'm sold on it. Takes a few days to completely dry though. I got the nose cone down to size but I overdid it a bit and had to build up the surface with the Great stuff. After sanding that back down, there were a plethora of gaps and valleys left behind by the great stuff. Jim Hendrickson and I discussed a number of products to try as a filler/hardener and I saw a boat load of videos on YouTube that showed some promise, but the one I finally ordered online was a bust. I took his suggestion to use Durham's Rock Hard Water Putty because I have used it before and I know how it is. What I didn't know, was how seriously difficult this stuff is to sand. 60 grit will make for a smooth surface if you can believe that. I thought about using a turning tool on it, but feared I might chip away the surface. I got it down to a better surface, but it still needed some attention. I made a more diluted batch of putty and painted that on. Hopefully, I can work that down to a slicker surface. Chances are, I may not need to finish coat this with the DIY foam surface hardener I planned on using. I'll save that for the next cone that doesn't require Rock Hard Putty for a filler.

My name is Rosie Rhine and I live and work out of my home in Vancouver, Washington. I've been quilting since 1973 when I made my first quilt, a log cabin quilt made from material saved from shirts I made for my four little boys, each piece cut out the old fashioned way – with scissors.
In 2006, I started Rhino Quilting, using a newly acquired long arm machine to quilt for myself and others. Since then the company has grown year by year, and I now have a steady clientele.
Specialization: Bereavement and Memory Quilts
Making unique bereavement quilts and memory quilts has become my specialty. I'm particularly fond of making these quilts which capture the spirit of a special loved one now gone and enjoy opening a package of unknown (but precious) clothes and turning them into a beautiful quilt. Such quilts, made from the clothes of a loved one, become a unique treasure and a valuable aid in healing.
I also make quilts to memorialize a collection such as ties or t-shirts or baby clothes – or even boy scout badges.
Or any kind of quilt one could imagine.
Commissioning a Quilt
It's easy to commission a quilt. Contact me and together we will work on a design – or you can let me loose and be surprised! Either way, I guarantee you will be satisfied with the end product.
Working with Customers
My primary goal is to produce the best quilt I can for my customers, to pay attention to their specific needs and requests, and if possible, exceed their expectations. A bereavement quilt or a memory quilt is a highly personal item. I like to find out about the people who wore the clothes which make up the quilt. It helps me in the process of turning their clothes into a beautiful quilt. I strive to have everyone I help to agree with Eileen, who wrote that:
""It was wonderful to work with Rosie. She provided ideas and suggestions, then patiently took the time to help me fine-tune my wishes for the final version of the design. She is an artist, but also a deeply sensitive and spiritual individual. I felt an immediate bond with her, and she seemed to know intuitively what I had in mind."

How to Choose a Puppy
How to choose an English Cocker Spaniel
First lets start by saying great breeders will have already done this for you. Breeders that have spent time with the litter over the last 9-10 weeks will know the temperament of each puppy. They will have interviewed each potential new owner and know exactly what each is looking for in their new addition. From time to time great breeders may give the final choice to the new owner between two puppies that have very similar personalities. But just in case you find yourself in a situation where you may need to choose which puppy will best suit you, here are some guidelines.
How to choose a Show Dog
When choosing your first show dog you should really deal with a great breeder that will help guide you. When seeking a show dog you will need a pup that is very outgoing. He should be one of the first ones to come to you, he should hold his head high and proud. You are not necessarily looking for the bully of the litter. He should be medium sized not big. His head should be spaniel looking not like a Lab with a blocky head or like a Setter. His expression should be soft and intelligent looking. His bone should be medium sized not big and thick. His feet should be straight not turning in nor out. The ears should be lobed in shape not triangular. Remember that moderate is what your are seeking - Big, Blocky, Heavy is not in keeping with the standard.
How to choose a Hunting Companion
You will want to look for a pup that is medium to smaller build. Do not seek the largest pup from the litter. The largest pups may very easily become to overdone and tire in the field. You should look for an energetic very alert pup. Bring a small puppy training dummy to toss to several of the pups to see which one fetches it first. Shake your keys, peep a whistle see which pup responds. You want a puppy that will be easy to train and those who respond first most likely will want to please their new owner. Never choose the shy or timid puppy form the litter for your hunting companion. Remember that moderate is what you are seeking- Big, Blocky, Heavy will not be able to the job as well.
How to choose a Pet to fit your Family
You should first ask your family what your intentions are with your new puppy. Is he/she going to do activities with the family such as camping or hiking, go the kids soccer games to watch from the sidelines, or are you seeking a pet that may end up doing some obedience trials or agility trials? When you and your family answer that question then you are ready. Typically puppies that are shy or timid are best suited in a quite home, they would be happy to take a daily walk and attend the soccer game on Saturday. Usually quite and timid children are a perfect match with these puppies. A more outgoing pup such as the largest rambunctious one of the litter would be a perfect fit for the active family with active children. These pups can play all day and keep pace with the active family. Most of your very outgoing pups make great performance dogs for obedience and agility trials as well.

Funds will be used to operate Corcoran School and renovate 17th Street building.
September 10, 2014
As part of the finalized agreement among the George Washington University, the Corcoran and the National Gallery of Art, GW will receive approximately $43 million in funds. $35 million will go toward the renovation of the 17th Street building, which will remain classroom and studio space and serve as a global hub for the arts in Washington. $8 million in restricted endowment funds will be used for the operation of the Corcoran School of the Arts and Design within the Columbian College of Arts and Sciences.
The historic collaboration received approval from the D.C. Superior Court in August following a three-week cy près review. The final transaction gave GW two Corcoran properties—the 17th Street and Fillmore buildings—and transferred cash, securities and endowed funds to the university.
The university plans to sell the Fillmore building, located in Georgetown, after this academic year. The agreement stipulates that proceeds from the Fillmore property must be distributed either between the Corcoran School's operational costs or the 17th Street building's renovations. The amount of such proceeds will depend on the terms of the property sale.
In its updated form, the 17th Street building will be a hub for the arts at GW, and it will provide dynamic and expanded classroom and studio space for Corcoran School students. It will house a Legacy Gallery of important works from the Corcoran collection, selected by NGA, as well as special exhibitions of contemporary work. The Corcoran School will also showcase the work of its students, faculty and visiting artists.
Provost Steven Lerman explained that the renovations will occur in phases over the next several years.
"We will take a phased approach, addressing the most critical structural needs first. Fundraising is underway and will be key to supporting continued renovations and programming for the building," he said. "This is an exciting opportunity for the university to not only preserve the historic legacy of the Corcoran but also enhance and build upon the innovative arts education we provide in the heart of our nation's capital."
The 17th Street building galleries now have free admission, Wednesday through Friday, 10 a.m-5 p.m., as a result of the collaboration. Guests can visit the galleries through September 28, after which the galleries will close for renovations by the National Gallery of Art for approximately one year. The Corcoran School will remain open and operating throughout the renovation process.

Light, robust and top quality craftmanship. This tool is ideal for daily and long rides where size and weight is paramount when carrying a lot of things. Packs neatly into my frame bag and has all the relevant sizes for adjusting etc.

T-minus 60 hours, and I'll be sitting at the airport, probably eating chips and guacamole (part of my pre-air travel ritual) and sipping on something to take the edge off. I'm an eager traveller. I don't hesitate to say let's go to Europe, or Vegas, or road tripping up the North Shore. And then I plan plan plan the thing, because why would I pay someone else to do it when I have the same Google he/she does? (I'm not knocking tour groups. There are great reasons to do them. I just haven't.) And then I use the trip to justify a lot of purchases I've been thinking about making, haven't made yet, but definitely need to make now because they will make travel so much better. And I do this all willingly and cheerfully.
I'm also an anxious traveller. Having done all the travel plans myself, around this time in the pre-trip preparations I begin to question whether or not I missed something. I check and recheck all our reservations. I print off paper copies of all our confirmations. I always have travel insurance on the flights/trips, and international medical coverage. I will check that my passport is in its spot in my backpack 5 times before we leave for the airport. I'm really good at cooking up worst case scenarios. You can ask my husband. My lists of "What ifs…" can be long and weird and strike at any moment! These things don't stop me from traveling. As I said, I'm eager to get a place and explore. But I'm definitely the kind of person who does better once they're in the new place, because anxiety in the lead up and while getting there is a big part of my process!
During our last European vacation, I learned what it was to run into one of these travel anxieties head on. After flying from Minneapolis to Frankfurt, we had a brief, four-hour layover before boarding our connecting flight to Florence. Jetlag was setting in, but besides being tired, we were in good spirits about the longest leg of flights being over. Then our connecting flight got delayed. Then it got delayed again. Then some thunderstorms moved into the area, and my level of tension increased exponentially.
Eventually they got us on the plane, a weird process in which they bussed us away from the main terminal building and out onto a tarmac. We boarded, and waited for clearance for take off, eventually taxiing down a runway that faced away from a menacing wall of storm clouds encroaching on the airport. We were off again, a little delayed, but heading away from the storms…at least we were for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes the captain made an announcement that the plane was experiencing mechanical issues and would need to return to the airport. I don't know what you think about when you're in a plane and they announce mechanical issues, but nothing positive came to my mind. The great irony in plane travel versus, say, automobile travel is I will drive around with my check engine light on for weeks (the automotive equivalent of a captain saying there are mechanical issues, perhaps!?) and not worry about whether or not my car might explode at any moment, but when an airline pilot says "mechanical issues" I immediately assume the plane is going down!
The problem with immediately returning to the airport, however, was the aforementioned thunderstorms! Now the airport was fully engulfed in rain, wind lightning, thunder. We couldn't just land immediately, we had to wait for the storms to clear. So we circled. We circled for an hour. The whole flight to Florence was only supposed to be an hour and forty minutes. We'd been in the air for an hour and twenty. What kind of mechanical issue was this? Eventually the captain came back over the speakers to announce that the issue was not deemed a threat to the safety of the passengers, and we'd be landing shortly. I don't particularly like flying, and I'm generally glad to be back safely on the ground, but that's the only time I've ever cried tears of joy and relief when the plane touched back down.
Back in the terminal, we learned our connection was now officially cancelled; and, after spending another hour in line at the ticket desk, we received our vouchers for a hotel stay, dinner, and complimentary overnight bag with a few essentials (toothbrush, XL white t-shirt, comb, bar of soap). We were shuttled out to a hotel in the suburbs of Frankfurt (which I didn't like), for a meal that was fine( but not the Italian food I dreamed of eating) and 18 hours of waiting for our new connecting flight the next afternoon. To his credit, my husband was a wonderful sport about the entire thing. I was not, and to this day we joke (only sort of) that it was the darkest 24 hours in our marriage.
In the moment, there was absolutely nothing good about the situation. In hindsight, it sucked, but could have been worse. The plane didn't go down. We (probably) weren't in any serious danger…I mean, they would have tried to land in a thunderstorm versus letting the plane crash all together, right!? We only lost about 24 hours of our time in Italy (which included some non-refundable museum tickets, but whatever, I'm not bitter!). We faced a big "what if…" and navigated through it. We even met some fellow Minnesotans in the shuttle van and shared dinner and a drink with them back at the hotel. Travel anxiety comes out of the fear of the unknown, but things are always unknown until something happens, and you suddenly "know."
In planning for this trip, I told my husband I didn't think I'd lose my shit quite as much if something happened and we missed a connecting flight, or if we were delayed at the airport again. It would be inconvenient to be sure, but it's not "unknown" anymore. If we were in a plane with "mechanical issues" again, I'm sure I would not feel great and comfortable about it, but it's also not "unknown" anymore. So while I might get anxious, I'd also have some frame of reference as to the fact that you can land in a plane with mechanical issues and be just fine.
There's no way to know everything that's going to happen on the trip. That's part of the fun of it. But if you're an anxious traveller like me, consider a few of these tips to try to make your travel a little more stress free.
1. Have a drink – I said a…singular…as in one. Don't get hammered before your flight. They might not even let you on the plane. I have a single drink, and I have it before I get on the plane. Then…
2. Drink ginger ale – On the plane, I sip ginger ale. One, it's delicious. Two, ginger is a natural stomach soother and can help with digestion and motion sickness. If you've got an anxious stomach, ginger ale is the way to go. (Travel fun fact: Someone once told me that they drink tomato juice on planes because it tastes different in an airplane then on the ground. Turns out, there's science on this!)
3. Watch the staff – This was one of the best travel tips I got before my first flight (about which I was panicked). A teacher told me to watch the staff. They fly all the time. If you hit a little turbulence that feels like a big deal to you, watch the staff. Are they still up serving drinks? Do they look bothered or concerned? 9 times out of 10 what has felt like a "big deal" to me when it comes to turbulence is just another day at the office for them.
4. Cover your bases – There are people who say travel insurance is a waste of money. I'm not one of them. I protect our trip with insurance (we got some of that ticket money back through insurance after our flight incident in Frankfurt), and I protect us with base level insurance when we're abroad. Your health insurance policy may already include international coverage, or it might be an add-on for a minimal cost. When we went to Italy, one month of international health insurance coverage for two people was only $35 total through GeoBlue. Hopefully you never use it, but it's pretty cheap to buy a little peace of mind while adventuring.
Friday kudos to…
Everyone who recommended alternative seasickness options! There were a bunch of you that, after Monday's post, came through in the comments or a private message or text suggesting alternatives to Dramamine that might help to avoid the negative side effects. We've tracked down Sea Bands (acupressure anti-nausea bracelets) and "Traveller's Rescue" (a natural, ginger based anti-nausea med) that we'll be taking on the cruise. Hopefully it won't even be an issue!
The six amazing people who made this happen because Christmas is July is the best holiday!
Coconut Almonds with Dark Chocolate from Costco. I can kudos a food. That's a real thing. But more importantly, the person who turned me on to them this week is pretty awesome too, so kudos to them!
Wine for your weekend
Prairie Fume – Wollersheim Winery – Prairie Du Sac, WI
Full, sentimental disclsoure, this was the wine that we had specially ordered for our wedding, so there's a little bit of an emotional bias that comes with this recommendation. But, as I haven't recommended a ton of white wines, it seemed time to offer you this one. Prairie Fume is a semi-dry, white wine made from 100% Seyval Blanc grapes. It's cold fermented, and unaged, giving it a nice residual sweetness, and zero oak. Notes of citrus and tropical flavor linger on the pallete, and the finish is clean and refreshing. Prairie Fume is a crowd pleaser, not too sweet, not too dry, and pairs well seafood, pasta, and grilled meats and veggies. Prairie Fume has also been awarded "Blockbuster Wine of the Year" for having one more medals than any wine east of the Rockies. At a price point of only $9.50, you have to track down at least a bottle, if not a case!

China's people speak quite different languages, as I noted here in the update.
And Strategypage writes that corruption in China--which prompts riots and demonstrations out in the provinces--is difficult for Peking to control because China is not a unitary state where orders from the center are followed by the peripheral regions:
Senior officials admit it exists, but because of the decentralized form of government, it's very difficult for the people in the capital to clean up the corruption in the provinces. The officials out in the countryside may be stealing, but they are also keeping an eye on things for the central government. Without loyal provincial officials, there is no nation of China, just a collection of provinces, which have been independent nations in the past.
Yet another reason why I don't know whether China will emerge in a generation or two as an enemy, a peer competitor to us, or a friend--or even a country at all.
I think Mark Steyn has commented on this, so it is hardly original with me, but I do wonder if China will break apart (not necessarily violently) and become a geographic rather than a political description.
Is China moving in an opposite direction that Europe is going--a geographic term that is attempting (well, the Brussels EU bureaucracy wants it even if the people aren't as thrilled) to become a term describing a political entity?
