| Pocket Hose — Fits In A Pocket But Grows To A Full Size Hose |

A garden hose, hosepipe or simply hose is a flexible tube used to convey water. There are a number of common attachments available for the end of the hose, such as sprayers and sprinklers (which are used to concentrate water at one point or spread it over a large area). Hoses are usually attached to a hose spigot (tap). Garden hoses are commonly green and often black, but can also be found in a variety of other colors. Garden hoses are typically made of synthetic rubber or soft plastic, reinforced with an internal web of fibers. As a result of these materials, garden hoses are flexible and their smooth exterior facilitates pulling them past trees, posts and other obstacles. Garden hoses are also generally tough enough to survive scraping on rocks and being stepped on without damage or leaking. Most garden hoses are not rated for use with hot water, and their packaging will generally specify whether or not this is the case. Typical hoses used for filling of the potable water tanks in recreational vehicles are similar to garden hoses but are made of nonporous materials that are less likely to collect bacteria or affect the water's taste. They are colored white as a distinguishing characteristic. The term "hosepipe" is chiefly British, South African and southern U.S. usage; "hose" or "garden hose" is the predominant term in other English-speaking countries. The term "hose" is also used for other types of flexible, water-carrying tubes such as those used by fire departments.
g home and had no prior criminal record. She also said a terrorist-related charge shouldn't automatically deny release."The word 'terrorism' is a word that tends to taint everything," she told the court.She also gestured to the back of the courtroom, where dozens of members of his community sat, and she assured the judge they would also watch over Tounisi and see that he stays out of trouble."They are committed to being part of his life," she said. "That offers a backstop to the family."Judge Martin said repeatedly that his decision to grant Tounisi release was a close call. He told Tounisi's father, Ahmad Tounisi, that a landline must be installed in the Aurora family home before his son could be released to comply with home confinement and electronic monitoring.The judge told Tounisi's father that he will be obliged to contact authorities immediately if his son takes "one step out of the house." The elder Tounisi said he understood and would comply.Tounisi would be released on a $50,000 unsecured bond, meaning neither he nor his family would be required to put the money down to secure his release. But if he fled, the court would order payment of the full $50,000.Tounisi, a U.S. citizen, was snared in an Internet sting after contacting a sham website set up by the FBI that purported to connect would-be fighters with terrorists, federal prosecutors said.He is charged with one count of attempting to provide material support to a forei
In the height of the 2012 election cycle, Islamist militants laid siege to and overran a U.S. diplomatic outpost in Benghazi, Libya. This posed huge dangers to President Obama's re-election effort.Obama's greatest political asset was his success in preventing a large-scale attack on the U.S. by Islamists. Obama had authorized the raid that killed 9/11 mastermind Usama bin Laden and shown a willingness to kill other terrorists with the kind of enthusiasm not associated with a man who campaigned in opposition to the Iraq war.If there were any thought that Obama were not sound on national security, his re-election, then looking likely, would be in big trouble. It was especially troublesome that the attack occurred in a country that was the centerpiece of Obama's Middle East policy, where he had helped depose a secular government and install an Islamist one in its place.Republican candidate Mitt Romney tried to jump on the topic and managed to be overeager and equivocating all at once. Romney ended up discussing the contents of Twitter messages surrounding the attack and defending himself against charges of politicizing the deaths of Americans.While Democratic operatives had Team Romney pinned down on his Tweet talk, Obama and his advisers formulated a response. Power Play was in Chicago the day after the attack for meetings with the Obama campaign, but word came mid-morning that no visit would occur in light of the Benghazi raid.What resul
