Living room curtains. It's so hard to decide on colors and styles for curtains in a room with no predetermined color... and before I painted the painting above the couch, this room pretty much only had grey, white, and gold in it! But you've gotta start somewhere, and early on during one of my extensive JoAnn clearance rack trips (when they give an extra 50% off!) I picked up this pretty shell pink poly crepe, very drapey and pretty, and bought what was left of the bolt--7 yards, about. Which was exactly what I needed for my living room curtains, which are about 108 long since we wanted the curtain rod at the ceiling and nice and wide. I thought about putting these elsewhere or making... something else... out of them, but really, what better use for 7 yards of fabric?!
I also bought 7 yards of curtain lining, the Roc-lon® stuff in 100% cotton and white. It was a pain to cut these out and pin them together, had to use the whole living room hallway floor!
OMG, windows are hard to take pictures of. Here they are with the icky overhead light at night, but at least they're not backlit. Here you can see them a little better. For now they're attached with curtain clips, but I'd like to switch to something more formal (sewn-in rings?) sometime.
...but I think they're pretty versatile. I also tried them on the couch under my DIY ikat-ey zigzag canvas, to pick up on the black. I also tried them on our bed once! I do love black and white stripes. The funny thing is, when I made them I thought it would be cool to have them be the reverse of each other, like one black-white and the other white-black, but now I think it looks weird. Oh, well, haha!
Pink patterned pillows. Speaking of the master bedroom... I showed you the DIY tufted headboard in the tutorial, but here's the latest on the pillows. The fabric for these was also at JoAnn on half-off the clearance, so a great price, and I looove the classic fabric pattern, can't remember the name of what it's knocking off right now.
The bedroom is still far from done, but the pillows help give me a little direction. Now we seriously need a nice throw at the foot of the bed, and maybe a repeat of the color or preppiness of the pattern somewhere... and of course, maybe some art above the bed! Aack! I haven't done much in the bedroom yet! Any great decor ideas, feel free to share!
So that's a few of the sewing projects I've done for the house so far. Plenty more to share, and more to do!
The curtain posts are so timely! I like the curtain rings-- they look so good with the pink. If you want to get rid of the rings, I am momma, hear me roar just did a curtain series where they talked about pole loop curtains.
They do end up looking very formal.
I love pole loop curtains! Didn't know that's what they were called. I turned some cased Ikea curtains into pole loop curtains by clipping the back casing (tough tape material, not fabric)... they look sleek!
I prefer the simple fold top over, sew, stick rod through curtain. Rings to me remind me too much of shower curtains and seem less formal. You could of course, add pleats like Palak mentioned above.
Totally, the rings do look like shower curtains... and it bugs me if they don't match the rod!
Beautiful!!! The pillows are lovely and the curtains are woderful!! You did a great job!
Love those stripped pillows & that patterned pink one! They are beautiful.
the pink pillows have a great pattern! I am looking at patterned fabric right now - I have a good idea of what I want my curtains and pillows to be, but I keep finding OTHER fun things too... good thing I have several rooms to decorate!
I love the striped pillows too!
great ideas! I love the pink. I'm going to have to ask my fiance how much pink he can handle when we find a new place :) and I can't wait to make our own headboard!
The soft pink curtains are giving so serene and calm look. Love the round grey pillow.

WASHINGTON — Two U.S. senators unveiled new legislation Tuesday targeting what they say are deceptive tricks, employed by websites and tech companies, that are designed to mislead or confuse internet users into giving away their rights and choices as consumers.
The legislation, known as the DETOUR Act and introduced by Senators Mark Warner, D-Va., and Deb Fischer, R-Neb., zeroes in on a phenomenon known as "dark patterns": The various ways in which web designers subtly steer users toward completing certain transactions, such as signing up for an email newsletter, making a purchase or consenting to the collection or sharing of personal information.
The rise of dark patterns reflects how tech companies have increasingly turned human psychology into a moneymaking tool — at the expense of consumers' ability to make truly informed choices, Fischer said in a statement.
"Misleading prompts to just click the 'OK' button can often transfer your contacts, messages, browsing activity, photos, or location information without you even realizing it," she said.
But dark patterns, and the logic behind them, are hardly a new idea. More than a decade ago, University of Chicago economist Richard Thaler and Harvard University law professor Cass Sunstein helped shed light on the psychological aspects of decision-making with their 2008 book "Nudge."
The book explored how "choice architecture," or the way in which choices are presented to consumers, can powerfully shape their subsequent behavior. Examples included how, by automatically enrolling their employees in a 401(k), companies could help increase Americans' retirement savings.
How companies ask consumers to make choices online is becoming increasingly important as more firms turn to personal data as a business model, analysts say. Nowhere is that more evident than in the tech industry, where giants such as Facebook and Google have built multibillion-dollar products out of the data that's generated when users click on ads and enter search terms.
Without naming those businesses in particular, Tuesday's bill appears to focus on the largest tech companies, aiming to make it illegal for firms with more than 100 million users to create user interfaces "with the purpose or substantial effect of obscuring, subverting, or impairing user autonomy, decision-making, or choice to obtain consent or user data."
"Our choice architectures are just completely muddled and clouded by the little tricks companies play to get you to consent, even though you may not want to," said Paul Ohm, a law professor at Georgetown University, at a Washington conference on digital privacy Tuesday hosted by the Federal Trade Commission.
The Internet Association, a trade group that represents Silicon Valley's biggest firms in Washington, declined to comment.

Apple and Google might be mortal rivals when it comes to smartphone operating systems, but sometimes, it pays to work together. To that end, we weren't exactly shocked to find out this week that Apple Music support is apparently in the works for Google Home devices. The option to add Apple Music as a linked provider in the Google Home app on iOS was first discovered by a MacRumors reader, which the site was able to confirm.
As MacRumors notes, Apple Music was previously listed under a "limited availability" section of the app, but has since moved over to the main Music settings screen under "More music services." But despite the fact that it appears there alongside Pandora, Spotify, and others, it can't actually be linked with a Google Home yet.
Neither Google nor Apple have made a formal announcement about Apple Music integration coming to Google Home devices, but considering that Apple Music came to Amazon's Echo smart speakers last December, it's clear that Apple is interested in expanding the reach of its music streaming service beyond the HomePod and Apple TV. And although Amazon currently holds a sizable lead in the smart speaker market, Google is hot on its trail. The reach of Apple's services division is far more important than the sales of its smart home hardware.

The Third Anglo Maratha war effectively ended Indian independence east of the Sutlej. The war was precipitated by Peshwa Baji rao Raghunath, often called Baji rao II, who first became the Peshwa in 1796. This seven-month long war was the Peshwa's desperate struggle to free himself and the Maratha nation of British overlordship. In this he attempted to forge an all India coalition to take on the British power.
Principal Characters
Chhatrapati Pratap sinh – the Maratha king.
Peshwa Bajirao II – Prime Minister.
Bapu Gokhale – Maratha Commander in chief.
Trimbakji Dengle – the Peshwa's loyal chief.

Daulat rao Sindia – head of the Sindias.
Rango Bapuji – officer in Satara who was opposed to the Peshwa.
Mor Dixit – the Peshwa's karbhari.
As we pass through the two hundredth anniversary of the third Anglo Maratha war, we cannot fail to realise the significance of this momentous event. Beginning one afternoon on 5 November 1817, the war finally ended in the first week of June 1818 when the beleaguered Peshwa Baji rao Raghunath, also known as Baji rao II surrendered to the English officer of his choice; John Malcolm. However, in the preceding seven months a huge war effort by the English and an equally prolonged and uncharacteristic resistance was carried on by the last Peshwa.
Peshwa Baji rao II came to power in fortuitous circumstances. From a nominal prison in Junnar, he found himself transported to Pune wooed by parties that wished to control the Peshwa's musnad. The precipitating factor for this change had been the sudden demise of the twenty-one-year old Sawai Madhav rao Peshwa in 1795 – who fell from the terrace of one of the tall buildings within the Shaniwar wada – and died three days later from a fractured thigh bone and possibly his jaw. The contest for appointing the new Peshwa raged for over a year before Baji rao Raghunath was able to secure the musnad with the help of Daulat rao Sindia as well as Nana Phadnis and Parshuram bhau Patwardhan.
From the day he took over, Baji rao had to placate powerful ministers and Daulat rao Sindia, needing all the guile he possessed to survive. An ill-judged move to punish an errant son of Tukoji Holkar by killing him under the feet of an elephant led to his brother Yeshwant rao approaching Pune with his army to seek justice in his quarrel with the Sindia. Propped up by Sindian forces, the Peshwa was in no position to evenly adjudicate between the two powerful Maratha chiefs. In the battle of Hadapsar, Holkar triumphed over the combined Peshwa-Sindia army, and the Peshwa had to flee to the coast, where he sought an English vessel to reach the Maratha fort of Vasai.
For some time now there were moves to make the Peshwa subject to the Subsidiary treaty, a brainchild of the ambitious Governor General Wellesley. In Vasai, the Peshwa was vulnerable to seeking help from any quarter to win back his seat in Pune. Eventually, on 31 December 1802, Baji rao II signed the Subsidiary treaty, putting his pen to paper to seek British forces paid by him to help regain his musnad. Once the treaty was signed, Holkar moved away from Pune and Arthur Wellesley escorted the Peshwa back to the seat of power.
However, Wellesley had to face opposition of the Sindia and Bhonsle of Nagpur who refused to recognise the treaty. The Peshwa himself, having secured his musnad tried to wriggle out of his commitments at Vasai. However, the British grip on Pune and the Peshwa was strong. The year 1803 saw the armies of Sindia and Bhonsle defeated in a series of battles; Aligurh, Delhi, Assaye, Gawilgurh, and soon the Maratha confederacy lay subdued by the armies raised by the East India Company. Undoubtedly, the defection of Sindia's European captains made a difference, but more important, the English had captured the south Asian military economy by being better employers.
The next few years saw the defeat of Holkar, and the domination of the English over India was complete. Each chief was closely watched by the Resident who reported every conversation and move so that Sindia, Bhonsle, Holkar and the Peshwa were unable to muster any resistance or alliance. The Peshwa, who tried to bring his jagirdars under his own control was frustrated by the British who refused the use of the Subsidiary force for this purpose. In fact, British policy was to support Gaekwad and the southern jagirdars so that the Peshwa remains weak and within their control.
Years passed. The Peshwa chafed under the controls he had to face as the one-time head of the Maratha confederacy. Gradually he collected a large sum of money from his annual revenues. His quibbles with the Gaekwad of Gujarat over payment of long standing dues went out of hand when the Gaekwad envoy Gangadhar shastri Patwardhan was murdered at Pandharpur in 1815 and the British Resident Mountstuart Elphinstone placed the blame on the Peshwa's chief aide Trimbakji Dengle. Elphinstone pressed the Peshwa hard so that he had to hand over Trimbakji, who was imprisoned in an English prison at Thane. Relations between the Peshwa and Elphinstone plumbed new depths.
The year 1816 went with Peshwa-English relations deteriorating rapidly. The Peshwa sent emissaries to Sindia and further to Nepal, Ranjit Singh of Punjab, Bharatpur, Jodhpur, Macheri, Kashmir as well as Pindari leaders like Meer Khan. Threatened, the English monitored these diplomatic moves and increased the pressure on the Peshwa. He was coerced into handing over his territories as well as severing all contacts with his one-time subordinates, thereby isolating him. On his part, the Peshwa used all his guile and reserves to gradually build a huge army that was paid their salary well in advance. The purported reason for this was to help the English fight the Pindaries of Central India. Meanwhile, letters were being sent to every ruler worth his salt and calls were made to join in a general insurrection to throw the English out. The English were not found wanting. Remaining alert, they intercepted many of these messages and prepared their own counter strategies.
In the midst of this, in September 1716, Trimbakji escaped from the prison at Thane. The romantic escape was a shock to the British in Pune. Bishop Heber describes his rescuers singing a Marathi ballad as a sign to Trimbakji to enable him to escape…the English translation being,
' Behind the bush, the bowmen hide, the horse beneath the tree,
Where shall I find a knight will ride the jungle paths with me?
There are five and fifty coursers there, and four and fifty men;
When the fifty fifth shall mount, the Deccan thrives again! '
Trimbakji began gathering an army of Bhils, Ramoshis and other tribes in the hills of Junnar north of Pune while Bapu Gokhale, the Peshwa's able commander-in-chief – and perhaps the last Maratha General of note – began to plan a war against the English. The Peshwa himself began to think of ways to escape his gilded cage under the watchful Elphinstone. Elphinstone built an elaborate intelligence network so that the Peshwa complained that even the dishes cooked for him were being reported to the Resident. Many chiefs of the Peshwa's own realm conspired against him to secure favours from the English. A large collection of such intelligence jottings gathered by Elphinstone are available with the author.
Finally, in May 1817, the Resident demanded of the Peshwa that Trimbakji be apprehended and the three forts of Sinhagad, Purandar and Raigad be handed over to the English until then as surety. The Peshwa at this time had a numerous cavalry and seven thousand paid Arabs for his protection in Pune. Elphinstone ordered General Lionel Smith to surround Pune. Eventually, not ready to fight at this time Peshwa was forced to declare Trimbakji an absconder and declare a prize for his release. The Peshwa however worded the proclamation in a manner that it appeared to be from the British rather than himself. The forts were transferred to British custody for a short while. The Peshwa was also forced to sign a fresh treaty giving up all claims to be the head of the Maratha confederacy. Large chunks of the Peshwa's territories in Karnataka and Bundelkhand were also sought by the company. The British also raised new troops. Raising the Poona Auxiliary Horse in July 1817 it was advertised that,

Der Mont Saint-Michel, deutsch: Michaelsberg, in den Vogesen ist ein 437 m hoher Berg im Elsass oberhalb der Stadt und Abtei Saint-Jean-Saverne (deutsch St. Johann bei Zabern). Er beherbergt ein Michaels-Heiligtum wie sein berühmterer Namensvetter in der Normandie, steht jedoch historisch mit diesem in keinerlei Verbindung.

Geschichte
Der Berg, in älteren mittelalterlichen Quellen Hertenstein (Ersterwähnung 1126) oder später Bruderberg bzw. Bruderstein (nach einem hier lebenden Eremiten) genannt, war bereits in keltischer und römischer Zeit besiedelt. Von einer keltischen Stadt aus der La-Tène-Zeit – im touristischen Volksmund heute Heidenstatt genannt – sind noch zwei 400 m lange parallele Wälle, die im Abstand von 700 m in West-Ost-Richtung durch den Wald verlaufen, deutlich zu erkennen. Die Anlage hatte auf beiden Seiten je ein Zangentor.

Zeugen der römischen Besiedlung sind ein Grenzstein mit einer rudimentären Inschrift (P V), die so interpretiert wird, dass hier öffentliches Gelände (publicus) auf privates stieß, sowie ein auf 64 m Länge erhaltener Plattenweg mit Wagen-Spurrillen, der mit einer Steigung von 30 % den Berg hinaufführte.

Die Geschichte des Berges als Michaelsheiligtum beginnt erst 1593. In diesem Jahr gründete Johann Schreyer, Abt von St. Johann bei Zabern, eine lokale St. Michaels-Bruderschaft und baute die ältere Eremitenkapelle zum Wallfahrtsort aus. Jetzt erst wurde der Berg nach dem Heiligen Michael benannt (seinerzeit deutsch St. Michaelsberg). Nach mehreren Verwüstungen im Dreißigjährigen Krieg, in der Französischen Revolution und in zwei Weltkriegen, denen jeweils Restaurierungen 1686, 1848 und 1952 folgten, ist an älterer Innenausstattung nichts mehr verblieben.

In den 1990er Jahren wurde das gesamte Gelände rund um den Mont Saint-Michel dokumentarisch aufbereitet, ein archäologischer Wanderpfad angelegt und mit Erklärungstafeln versehen.

Geografie

Der Berg ist größtenteils bewaldet; es alternieren Laub- und Nadel- sowie Mischwälder. Diese werden immer wieder von spektakulären Buntsandstein-Felsformationen durchbrochen.

Vom Plateau auf dem Höhenrücken, auf dem sich das Heiligtum befindet, hat man eine Aussicht auf Saint-Jean-Saverne mit seiner Abtei und dem Nachbarort Eckartswiller, auf Ernolsheim im Norden sowie nach Osten in die weite Ebene des Hanauer Landes in Richtung des Rheins, bei klarem Wetter bis zu den Schwarzwaldhöhen.

Der Mont Saint-Michel bildet einen gemeinsamen Höhenzug mit dem Frohnberg, einem mittelalterlichen Steinbruch, dem Daubenschlagfelsen mit den Ruinen der Burg Warthenberg über Ernolsheim im Norden sowie mit dem Viergemeindenwald und dem Frauenwald im Westen; dazu gehört auch der Ertmura, die mit 437 m Höhe höchste Erhebung dieses Komplexes. Als geologische Attraktionen zählen neben interessanten Felsformationen wie Rocher des Dames und Rocher des Plates im Süden insbesondere auch die Stampflöcher im Nordwesten des Frauenwalds; hier handelt es sich um mehr als 30 Löcher, die mutmaßlich im Mittelalter die Bauern in Kriegszeiten, wenn sie ihre Dörfer verlassen mussten, in eine große Felsplattform getrieben haben, um darin ihr Getreide zu stampfen. Meist sind die Löcher mit Wasser gefüllt. Einer lokalen Tradition zufolge sind die sehr ähnlichen Löcher am Frohnberg indes viel älter und dienten bereits den Kelten aus Heidenstatt als Opferstätten.

Der Höhenzug war durch seine abseitige Lage im Mittelalter durch Mythen und Sagen geprägt. Ein Naturdenkmal ist die Grotte aux fées, jene Höhle unter einem überhängenden Sandsteinfelsen, in der der Eremit gelebt haben soll. Zuvor soll sie Heimstätte von Hexen gewesen sein. In einer rätselhaften Vertiefung im Steinboden, Hexenloch genannt, soll im 12. Jahrhundert Itha, die Ehefrau des Peter von der Lützelburg, von ihrem Mann, der sich wegen ihrer magischen Kulte vor ihr fürchtete, lebendig begraben worden sein. Vermutlich war die Vertiefung bereits eine merowingische Grablege. Über dieser Grotte liegt der Michelsberger Hexentanzplatz, ein steinernes Rund und mutmaßlich bereits in keltischer Zeit ein druidischer Kultfelsen.

Archäologischer Wanderpfad

Der archäologische Wanderpfad geht vom Wanderparkplatz "Croix de Langenthal" (401 m) aus. Hier erinnert ein steinernes Kreuz (1888 einen älteren Bildstock ersetzend) mit einer Inschrift an einen schwedischen Offizier namens Aelrichsen, der im Dreißigjährigen Krieg an dieser Stelle getötet wurde. Er gehörte der plündernden Armee des Generals Ernst von Mansfeld an, die mit seiner Truppe 1621/22 im Elsass überwinterte. Die Datierung "1611" gibt Rätsel auf; sie ist möglicherweise ein Lesefehler bei der Übertragung der Inschrift von dem zerstörten Bildstock.

Der 8,5 km lange Haupt-Wanderpfad, durch ein Netz von miteinander kombinierbaren Nebenwegen variierbar und erweiterbar, berührt alle prähistorischen, römischen und mittelalterlichen Stätten des Höhenzuges, zu dem der Mont Saint-Michel gehört, und hat einen Anteil am Biosphärenreservat Pfälzerwald-Vosges du Nord.

Q: A question about Integer division I'm Wondering if this equation holds for every set of positive integers $N,x_1,x_2,x_3,x_4...$
$\lfloor{\frac{N}{x_1}}\rfloor-\lfloor\frac{N}{x_1x_2}\rfloor+\lfloor\frac{N}{x_1x_2x_3}\rfloor...=\lfloor{\frac{N}{x_1}}-\frac{N}{x_1x_2}+\frac{N}{x_1x_2x_3}...\rfloor$
This conjecture has a little likelihood of validity because the difference of residues
$r_1={Nx_2x_3x_4...}\mod{x_1x_2x_3x_4...}-$
$r_2={Nx_3x_4...}\mod{x_1x_2x_3x_4...}+$
$r_3={Nx_4...}\mod{x_1x_2x_3x_4...}-$
$...$
is giving me impression to be converging to 0.

A: This does not hold for, e.g., $N=100$, $x_i=i$.
These give $$\left\lfloor{\frac{N}{x_1}}\right\rfloor-\left\lfloor\frac{N}{x_1x_2}\right\rfloor+\left\lfloor\frac{N}{x_1x_2x_3}\right\rfloor...=
\left\lfloor{\frac{100}{1}}\right\rfloor -
\left\lfloor{\frac{100}{2}}\right\rfloor +
\left\lfloor{\frac{100}{3!}}\right\rfloor -
\left\lfloor{\frac{100}{4!}}\right\rfloor = 62$$ whlle $$\left\lfloor{\frac{N}{x_1}}-\frac{N}{x_1x_2}+\frac{N}{x_1x_2x_3}...\right\rfloor= \left\lfloor{ 100\left(1-\frac{1}{e}\right)}\right\rfloor =63.$$

Indian Reservations 100 years ago
The 1913 Annual Report of the Commissioner of Indian Affairs offers a look back in time at the state of Indian Reservations.
In that year, some 300,000 Indians lived on reservations. The total Indian population was 331,250 (excluding Indians in Alaska). All the reservations combined covered an area as large as the New England States plus the State of New York. Collectively, their lands were valued at $900,000,000. The timber on reservation land had an estimated worth of $80,000,000.
The annual Indian death rate (all causes) was 32.24 deaths per 1,000 Indians. Among the total United States population, the annual death rate was 16 per 1,000 persons. Tuberculosis was a growing problem across the nation. Among Indians, 32% of all deaths were due to tuberculosis compared to 11.2% for the general U.S. population.
Ten thousand Indian children had no schools available.

Learning to Farm
The Annual Report of the Commissioner of Indian Affairs offers interesting information about life on early day Indian reservations.
For the year ending June 30, 1880, the government reported all Indian tribes combined held 156,756,579 acres of land in the United States as reservations. Just 18,236,317 of those acres were considered tillable – less than 12%.
Of the available land, Indians had cultivated 70,540 acres plus 503 acres cultivated by Indian school children. The government worked 6,181 acres. White intruders raised crops on 90,851 acres of reservation land.
Among all reservations, Indians produced 468,822 bushels of wheat, 664,103 bushels of corn, 224,899 bushels of oats and barley, 375,853 bushels of vegetables, and 75,745 tons of hay. They also raised 362,412 pumpkins.
Indian school children raised 5,865 bushels of corn, 4,779 bushels of of oats and barley, 9,201 bushels of vegetables, and 512 tons of hay. They also grew 2,718 pumpkins and 3,422 heads of cabbage. The children harvested 3,422 head of cabbage, more than the 2,760 cabbages gathered by adults.
The following data from the 1880 report includes the Los Pinos and the Southern Ute Agencies in Colorado. There were no reports for the White River Agency for that year and the Bureau noted the agency had been abandoned.
Indian Agents were expected to encourage the Indians to become farmers. For the fiscal year 1880, the Indians at Los Pinos cultivated 75 acres of land and broke 10 more acres for farming. They raised 25 bushels of wheat, 500 bushels of corn, 1,720 bushels of vegetables, and harvested 10 tons of hay. They cut 60 cords of wood.
Between the Los Pinos Agency and the Southern Ute Agency, the Indians owned 12,467,200 acres of land. At Los Pinos there were 500,000 tillable acres (suitable for farming) but only 8,000 such acres on the Southern Reservation

Locating Indian Reservations
On June 14, 1869, President Ulysses S. Grant appointed Edward M. McCook to replace Alexander Hunt as Governor of Colorado Territory. In this capacity, McCook was also in charge of Indian affairs for the territory.
A few months after taking office, Governor McCook prepared his first Annual Report to the Commissioner of Indian Affairs. In it he expressed his pointed views on government policy regarding location of Indian reservations.
"As to the policy of isolating the Indians in order to civilize them…in my opinion the best way to accomplish this object would be to bring them in direct contact with the highest standard of civilization instead of placing them entirely beyond its influence. I think the settlement of these untutored tribes in the vicinity, say of Boston, where they would daily be thrown in contact with what is claimed to be the most cultivated community on this continent, would be more likely to bring about the desired end than a complete isolation from these powerful and beneficent influences."

Our midfield is a major concern for me and imo, you need a strong midfield to compete competently in both scudetto and Cl.
In the wc, Turkey got to the semi with Sukur being absoliutely hopeless but their midfield was great, same as Brazil, you take out Ronaldo and they have no strikers.
I agree, we need something more and I think everybody knows this, even Moggi.
I mean Davids, Zambrotta, Nedved, Tacchinardi, Conte and maybe Del Piero (when we play him as a playmaker), are big and good names in our midfield! Maybe Tacchinardi is not the best yet, but when he can return to his old form, he will play for Italy again! And Baiocco and specialy Camoranesi played great in the pre-season! And.....you cry for a playmaker to create chances: Olivera! He is great! Showed more last season than D'Alessandro and maybe better than Brighi, cause he is a offensive mid, and not def! He is great! He will show it! I just hope he plays like for Uruguay and Danubio! If so, he can replace Zidane easily! The new recoba!
Our wings will rock this year: Nedved (the best left winger in the world) adn Zambrotta ( the best iatlien winger)!
No fear, our mid is very good!
Which of these guys apart from Davids will protect the cental defence?
Well, this "bunch of talented midfielder" played already a season together, and know eachother!
Well, at the end of the season we sometimes played Neddy and DP behind the strikers! Or we played with that system (4-3-1-2) with Davids in the central role!
Now just give Nedved back on the wing, where he is better than Davids, and put a more creative midfielder behind the strikers (DP) and you have my line-up!
And our subs a great too! You can't have big names on the bench! Cause than these big names become angry, because they never play, and Moggi would pay them for sitting on the bench! Baiocco, Camo, Olivera, Tacch are the right subs for Juve!
Trust me: We will have a great season!
Obviously we can fight for the scudetto, but that doesn´t change the fact that our midfield is weaker than the best teams in europe.
You people who saw Real MAdrid game last night, has to know what I´m talking about. Thier defensive midfielders offers so much more, Take Cambiasso for example, fantastic player, The only player who created more than him last night was ZZ, and he played in a defensive midfield position!!!!!
Whilst Juve has never really replaced Deschamps, yeah they did the right thing by giving Taachinardi the chance, but come on, he is never going to be the player he had the potential to be. A player that has been playing for Juve for so long doesn´t get booed for nothing!!
And Zambrotta? The only people who thinks Zambrotta is the same class as players as Beckham, are Juve fans. In my opinon he is very overrated, some might say that he plays for the National team, but didn´t Asta get the chance last year at the age 32-33? even if Asta is a good player, that shows you the competition for the right wing spot.
And we clearly miss a leader on midfield, but still we were trying to get Nesta and Cannavaro all summer. And bought another striker in panic, which lead to that we lost Brighi for two seasons. And Brighi was clearly a type a player Juve needed..
But however I agree with Denco who said our team is at least more balanced than for example Milan and Inter. And Ancelotti is clearly not the coach to handle so much offensive power.
denco I agree with u in every thing but I want to know which players u want to sign and which plane or formation u want?
I agree with denco, you cannot ignore facts. That would be naive. But the only thing our midfield lacks is one thing imo and that is an ingredient that I rate very high CREATIVITY.
What Moggi could have done was to simply sign Pep Guardiola, although he's old he would have been perfect as a short term solution. And we let Roma have him for free instead. What Moggi can do now to change(save) this situation is to try to sign Liverani instead of Giannichedda, Fabio Liverani is a player that I believe is very underrated. He could have the DMC role and control our midfield from the back with his brilliant vision and passing, and to swap him with Tacchinardi would be a great deal for Juventus as for Lazio. Alessio is a player that I believe don't belong in Juventus anymore since the departure of ZZ he has been clearly sub standard in his performances. Since he clearly can't pass a ball forwards and is totally dependent of having a fantasista in front of him, doesn't really suite the Lippi tactic as well as he can't play the direct style of play. Other players that I think we should go after in order to strengthen our midfield is: Gerrard Lopez of Barcelona, Ruben Baraja of Valencia and why not the old geek Rui Costa? after Rivaldos arrival he won't get as much playing time and wouldn't be that expensive.
But the most realistic and the easiest buy for Moggi to complete would be Liverani. I really never understood why Juve didn't buy him when he was at Perugia instead we opted for Baiocco which I don't think is as good as Fabio. FWIW if Davids leaves then Kleberson might be a alternative Imo.
Creativy is hard to find in the SerieA where most teams are most concerned with defending rather than playing what Brazil plays. So we can't blame Juve for not having a creative midfield can we?
It's criminal that at ManUtd Veron is just a spare part since there's more than enough passers in the team. I think he would be more effective for Juve though.
I think the word here guys is 'inconsistant'. Romadahl and Gronkjaer are both great players on their day but neither has shown real quality game in game out.
there were times at the beginning of last season when Gronjkear played some good stuff but then got injured. since then he hasn't shown anything. I also remember when he played for Ajax, sometimes playing some great games. Anyhow, as you say he isn't good enough.

Exposing The Real Genocide of Nazi Germany
Hellstorm at The Myrtle Beach International Film Festival
Report by Shield Maiden at Renegade Tribune
On a nice, warm Saturday afternoon a good crowd had gathered at Broadway Cinemas in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. We were there to watch Hellstorm, a documentary by Kyle Hunt and Tom Goodrich, illustrating the horrific and oftentimes unimaginable treatment of the German people after World War II. As well done as the film is, it is certainly not for the faint-hearted, but nonetheless it is still imperative for every person of European descent to see this for it gives us a glimpse of what could happen if the Jews have their way and do successfully implement their New World Order.
Narrated by Renegade Tribune's own Sinead McCarthy, it was almost surreal to hear her voice coming out of big theater speakers instead of my computer. It felt like a big moment, to have a film that presents the other side of the story, the side we never get to hear because it's been silenced by Jewish opposition, was actually playing in a large movie theater and even drew a good crowd considering the subject matter. It was not easy to sit through an hour and a half of rape, torture, and genocide of millions of innocent men, women, and children. The most stomach churning part pointed out that some German women were forced at gun point to have sex with dead, rotting corpses. This seemed to be the breaking point for some audience members because after that a few got up and walked out. Most stayed however, and to my pleasant surprise they did not all walk out when the Jewish element was brought into the picture, although this was a point which unnerved some, as I would later find out.
Once the film was over, most of the audience applauded. The lights came up and Kyle Hunt was then brought out for Q & A. Sporting a ponytail and a nice blazer, Kyle reminded me of the hipster guys I used to see when I hung out at the local liberal coffee shops back in my twenties, certainly not an evil "Nazi" type of guy.
The first comment he received was from a young man who was upset with the Jewish element of the film. It was something along the lines of, "Oy vey! Why did you have to point out these guys were Jews? What does that have to do with anything?"
Kyle pointed out to him that the Jewish element had everything to do with it and then moved on because the guy's kvetching was irritating him as well as taking time away from other people's questions. Kyle also took the opportunity to point out to the audience that in many countries a person can be put in jail not just for questioning the validity of the Holocaust, but simply for questioning the six million number, even though at Auschwitz the plaque with the number of people killed has changed from originally claiming four million to now just 1.5 million. I was never good at math, but I'm pretty sure that changes the six million number just a little bit.
This triggered another audience member, a young man who argued that you couldn't go to jail for questioning the Holocaust. Something tells me Ernest Zündel and Silvia Stolz might disagree (they have both been thrown in jail numerous times for questioning the Holocaust). Clearly, this man is unaware that questioning the Holocaust is a punishable crime in Germany and many other European countries.
A few other audience members commented that they felt the film was "one-sided" even though Kyle explicitly says that in the beginning of the documentary that they only wanted to focus on the German side. I can't help but find these people's opinion of one-sidedness patently absurd since we have heard ONLY one side for seven decades. There have been thousands of books, films, and TV series dedicated to the Holocaust. Impressionable children in middle school are instructed to read The Diary of Ann Frank, a book which should be flushed down the toilet for how full of shit it is, but not once did we ever learn about what the Germans suffered through. Indeed, all we have ever heard is, "OMG! Those evil Nazi's!" I would wager that every single one of us had a history teacher who referred to Hitler as the devil incarnate; one of my history teacher's actually told us the story of the lampshades and soap as if it was real even though it's been proven to be a hoax.
After the brief Q & A, we all filed out into the theater hallway. I asked a few audience members what their thoughts were on the film. One middle aged woman named Cindy commented that she felt the film was one-sided and was very unhappy with Kyle for using the word "alleged" to describe the atrocities of the Holocaust, which was very real in her mind since she had been to the Holocaust Museum and saw the shoes of the little Jewish children that were killed. I asked Cindy's mom what she thought of the film and got a more direct answer: "I hated it."
I will give them credit for at least being willing to watch Hellstorm and to sit through the whole thing, but it saddened me that even after learning about the truly horrific, evil, and barbaric treatment the Germans were subjected to, they still could not shake their Jewish programming. To them the Jews are the biggest victims of all time and always will be.
I'm going to assume that most, if not all, the people reading this know that the Holocaust is a made up Jewish lie, but let's suspend reality for a moment and say that it actually did happen as they claim. Although that would have been horrific, it would still be nothing compared to what the Germans suffered after the war. The narrative is that the Jews starved to death in concentration camps or executed. Meanwhile, German women were raped to death, literally crucified with nails hammered into their hands, and as I mentioned earlier, sometimes forced at gun point to have sex with the corpses of dead men on the streets of what was left of Germany. German men had their testicles crushed and some were forced to eat their own excrement. Which would you rather suffer? At least starving to death you could die with some type of dignity.
In conclusion, Kyle made an excellent point at the end of Q & A; he pointed out that no one on Earth should ever have to suffer anything like this ever again and that is the point of watching a film like Hellstorm, to know what happened and what could happen if we don't put a stop to it now. What I wish some of the more critical audience members could understand is that the Jews want Hellstorm for the entire world. We don't have to go down that road. If enough people would wake up to world Jewry and understand how much damage the Jews have done and how intent they are on creating far more than what the Germans experienced, we can prevent another Hellstorm, and if we have to use violence to defend ourselves, so be it. Every white person, and even non-white for that matter, should be ready to do whatever it takes to defeat the Jews so that future generations can thrive, live happily among their own, and never suffer anything like this ever again.
I want to personally thank Kyle and Tom Goodrich for being brave enough to take on this subject matter and to spend the time, money, and tremendous effort it took to make this film. Most people simply parrot whatever is fashionable or "politically correct" so it takes some guts to show a film like Hellstorm at a film festival and be willing to stand there and take criticism from brainwashed people without flinching once. Hellstorm made me realize how much we've lost and how much we still stand to lose.

That the so-called holocaust during WW II was a big fraud, is now general known. It was one of the neo-pagan high priests of the holocaust, Elie Wiesel who wrote his own (alleged) experiences about his suffering while he was in Auschwitz in his books, "Night" and "Fragments. In chapter five of this last book, Wiesel wrote among others that he had to make a choice: to wait for the Soviets who would liberate the camp or decide to go on the retreat with the camp administration. He chose the last option. Very remarkable to say the least as the Nazis were the greatest of evil (as depicted by the Jews controlled media), more evil than Communism. But now comes the main prize: Once Wiesel gave this comment on his own writings:
"Things are not that simple, Rebbe. Some events do take place but are not true; others are, although they never occurred.
And so, we get an insight into the mindset of Wiesel and other "holocaust survivors….

My mum was 22 when I was in her pram 5 months old and she saved me from the Dresden bombing.
When the Frauenkirche was inaugurated in a 6-hour TV program, she thought she had overcome the trauma…
But I cry now over the inhumanity to humanity – men to women and children – especially after I visited the Jewish Museum in Berlin and saw the world 'unhinged'.
I am now working on a play where women stand on the shoulders of Einstein, Freud and Marx – all Germany Jews – as I'm trying to describe 6 million shades of Jewishness.
The shade that advocates and practices child sacrifice seems to be the tip of an iceberg nobody can truly fathom.

/** CCQuadParticleSystem is a subclass of CCParticleSystem

 It includes all the features of ParticleSystem.

 Special features and Limitations:
  - Particle size can be any float number.
  - The system can be scaled
  - The particles can be rotated
  - On 1st and 2nd gen iPhones: It is only a bit slower that CCPointParticleSystem
  - On 3rd gen iPhone and iPads: It is MUCH faster than CCPointParticleSystem
  - It consumes more RAM and more GPU memory than CCPointParticleSystem
  - It supports subrects

Q: Method returns runnable object Can I do something like this in Java:
 protected Runnable getRunnable(final int seconds) {
    Runnable runnable = new Runnable() {
        public void run() {
                sendData();
                try {
                    Thread.sleep(seconds * 1000);
                }
                catch (InterruptedException e) {
                    Thread.currentThread().interrupt();
                }
        }
    };
    return runnable;
}

And then:
protected void startTimer(int seconds) throws InterruptedException,NullPointerException {
    Thread thread = new Thread(getRunnable(seconds));
    thread.start();
}

Is the aforementioned process safe??

A: Yes it is safe (assuming sendData itself is safe), but I'm not sure exactly what you expect it to do.  Your code as written will create a new thread that will immediately call sendData(), then after sendData returns the thread will sleep for a number of seconds and then terminate without doing anything else (so the sleep is pointless, other than preventing the JVM from exiting or the Runnable or its containing object from being garbage collected until the sleep is finished).  If you want it to wait before calling sendData then you need to swap things around a bit.

A: In the comments you say

All I'm trying to do is to execute sendData() method every a specific amount of seconds(i.e. every 15 seconds)

Then use a built-in Timer which will organise that for you, for example:
ScheduledExecutorService scheduler = Executors.newScheduledThreadPool(1);
Runnable r = new Runnable() {
    @Override
    public void run() {
        sendData();
    }
};
ScheduledFuture<?> future = scheduler.scheduleAtFixedRate(r, 0, 15, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

//when you want to cancel the scheduled task
future.cancel(true);

//and before you leave your program, don't forget to call:
scheduler.shutdown();

A: Have you tried it ? The answer is that it does work. Runnable is an interface implemented by an Object (an anonymous class in your example above), and you can pass it around / reference it just like any other object.
Note that because the above is an inner class, you'll have an implicit reference to the outer (surrounding) class.

All the rain we've had lately has done some pretty wonderful things for the grass, shrubs, and flowers; however, when the alarm on your sump pump starts beeping and water starts showing up in places it shouldn't, you know it means trouble for your house.
Drainage problems are commonplace in Kansas and are typically the result of poor grading and inadequately placed downspouts, but these issues don't have to be a permanent ailment. If you can identify the issues causing the drainage problem and take the right steps to correct them, you can keep the interior of your house a whole lot drier, keeping yourself a whole lot happier in return.
You have areas of standing water. It's completely normal for water to be in your lawn after a big rainstorm, but if you are noticing puddles or areas of standing water long after the rain has stopped and the sun has come out, this is a sign of drainage issues.
Your grass won't grow. Excessive water in the yard limits the amount of oxygen available for grass; therefore, if you're noticing bare spots in your yard in areas that hold water after rain, a drainage problem is the likely culprit.
There is water in your basement or crawl space. Having water in a basement where there shouldn't be water is a pretty obvious problem, but it's worth noting that you should also keep an eye out for water stains, especially in basements if you don't get down to the basement frequently.
There are sunken areas around your foundation. Depending on what material surrounds the foundation of your home, you may experience drainage issues as the result of natural settling. The combination of dirt clods, water, and gravity creates channels that allow water to flow up to the foundation.
Check the grade. The first thing you need to address is the contour of the ground around your home. Your goal should be to have the slope of the land drain excess water away from the house so you avoid water pooling in the basement and potentially damaging the foundation. In instances where grading isn't a viable option, sump pumps and French drains can help alleviate some drainage problems.
Check the downspouts. One common issue with downspouts is that they don't extend out far enough to keep water from pooling around the foundation. Ideally downspouts should carry water 10 to 15 feet away from the house and they need to remain clear of debris to avoid clogging.

Bianca Censori's family react to Kanye West 'wedding' news
Members of Bianca Censori's family appear to approve of her recent "marriage" to Kanye West.
Last Friday, sources close to the couple told TMZ that the rapper recently tied the knot with the Yeezy designer in a private ceremony. However, the union may not be legally binding as they have reportedly not filed a marriage certificate.
After the news broke, reporters at the Herald Sun reached out to Bianca's relatives in Melbourne, Australia for comment.
"It's very exciting news for both my sister and the family, but we choose to have some privacy for the time being," Bianca's sister, Angelina Censori, told the outlet.
Another relative, Alyssia Censori, added that she was "super happy for them both".
Kanye and Bianca reportedly wed in Los Angeles.
Later, editors at Page Six published photos of the pair at the Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills hotel with wedding bands on their fingers.
The marriage report comes two months after Kanye finalised his divorce from Kim Kardashian, the mother of his four children.
Kanye, also known as Ye, has yet to publicly confirm the speculation.
