I think they both work overall, but there are issues with both. To me,the first room works pretty well at first glance. But when you take a longer look, I think there are a couple of issues. It looks like a room that a 'real person' decorated, using things they had in part. The chair shape is great, but the fabric on the chair is wrong for the room. Not because of the print, but because it is done in 'dirty' colors (and actually, looks like an old chair),a fact the pillows on it highlight. Were the chair done in a white duck or a lime and turquoise stripe, it would be fine. The rug is again a 'dirty' color, more olive; a plain cream or white rug, or a colorful large scale modern print, would do more for the space. I love the READ on the wall, because I believe the framed pieces are favorite books (one is Eric Carle's "The very busy spider"). But I guess that to me would be better on another wall, near a reading chair or beanbag in a kid's room, and a bookshelf. Then again, if the child is a voracious reader, nothing wrong with celebrating that fact! The second room is fine, except for the fact that all the color weight is low in the space, and the lampshade disappears against the wall and looks awkward with the little built-in above. Instead of the lamp on the night stand, I would have hung reading lights of some kind centered above each headboard, done in brass (for the nautical feel) with lampshades in a print with deep blue (no stripes to compete with the beadboard) or a solid dark blue. It also looks like the rug is running in the wrong direction for the pattern. I would have also preferred to mix up the decorative pillows on each bed, so they weren't matching but complimentary, but that is not a big deal.

chisue-"Why is the government *seeking* to gain the banks' and brokerages' permission to go in and reorganize? Hang-up most recently reported was over the idea of NOT rewarding screw-up CEOs and managers for what they've created. If I am buying it, I am going to run it." I agree. PaulsonÂs words and solution are not credible. He was a wall street banker, so he is not a neutral player. He is, in fact, one of the creators of this mess. It appears that he is trying to bail out his buddies on the Wall street with this "cash for trash" plan. There are many ways for the government to pump money into the lending system, which have been floated by smart economists and ordinary people with common sense during the last week. PaulsonÂs plan is among the worst of those ideas. Let the government become a stake holder in these troubled banks in exchange for capital investment. Some will survive and make money; some will tank. ThatÂs fine. But, let the government not get into the business of arbitrarily fixing the prices of junk securities. Such an exercise goes against the very idea of capitalism.

The bad news is the helicopter was there for servicing. The engine was not running well. When they started the engine, it coughed and ran rough and while they waited for it to warn up, a couple of men were seen running across the tarmac toward them; One was wearing a gun holster.
