Now we are going to show you how to style a fringe into the hairline. So you are going to want to blend it in by starting with wet bangs. Spray in some light product, like a mouse or a thermal resistant hair product. And you're just going to want to blow dry your hair back, from wet to dry. You can also use a small comb to help direct it. So after you have the hair blow dried from wet to dry in the direction that you want it to go, we're just going to throw in a little more product like some light pomade. About a dime-sized amount of gloss or just a finishing polish cream so as to smooth everything in the direction you want it to go. You are then going to grab a bobby pin and secure it behind the ear. This way when you are sliding your headband over your hairstyles, it won't give you any trouble. So we are going to use a braided headband because braided hairstyles are hot right now, but you can go ahead and use any kind of headband that you prefer.

I think the highlight of the video,like,the best the girl looked here,is when he blew dried her bangs and ran his fingers through them! It's such a great casual look,no need to do anything else

Kind of helpful, but still pretty underwhelming. It's a good idea to blowdry the hair back, but other than that, there wasn't anything particularly useful.

I totally think I found the answer to my prayers!!! That braided head-band is exactly what I need since I still can't master french-braiding across my head/forehead. Where do they sell those because I haven't seen them at any of the drugstores. I'm kind of about to answer my own question right now because it just dawned on me that Ulta or Sally's Beauty Supply most likely carries them. This literally made my night!!

A brace from Alexis Sanchez gave England a disappointing start to their preparations for next summer's World Cup.
The Barcelona forward started the game superbly and opened the scoring after just seven minutes with a fine header.
England tried to come back and had some good opportunities, but didn't manage to score.
Deep into added time, Alexis put the game to bed with a wonderful dink over Fraser Forster, whose debut wasn't a one to remember.
England started the game with three debutants in the form of Forster, Jay Rodriguez and Adam Lallana and a total of eight changes from their last game against Poland.
The home side started very well and came close to scoring, but Phil Jones' header was saved by Claudio Bravo and luckily for Chile there was no-one following up to tap home.
Two minutes later there was a goalmouth melee in front of the visitors' goal.
James Milner was left alone on the right, drilled the ball in the box, but a Chilean defender kicked it away. Then the ball was again crossed in the box and this time the ball was cleared to safety.
Yet in the counter-attack Charles Aranguiz came down the left wing and crossed the ball superbly to Alexis, whose back-post header flew into the net to make it 1-0 for Chile.
The visitors continued to push and came close to doubling their lead, but Jean Beausejour's fizzing shot was smartly saved by Forster.
In the 20th minute England captain Frank Lampard unleashed a deadly shot from a 35-yard free-kick, which took a slight deflection from the wall and was saved by Bravo.
At the half-hour mark Beausejour came from the back to the front and could have scored, but Forster got out and forced him wide. Yet the Wigan player crossed the ball and Eduardo Vargas' shot was blocked.
Just before the break Jack Wilshere chested the ball down and picked out Wayne Rooney on the left wing. The Manchester United forward then played a lovely pass to Lallana, but his shot went wide via a deflection.
England continued to push for a goal in the second half, but in the fifth minute of added time Gary Cahill made a mistake and just gifted the ball to Alexis Sanchez, who made a wonderful dink over Forster to put the last nail in England's coffin and made the final result 2-0.
ENGLAND: Forster 6, Johnson 6, Baines 6, Milner 6, Cahill 5, Jones 5, Wilshere 5, Lampard 5, Lallana 6, Rooney 6, Rodriguez 5. Subs: Smalling 5, Townsend 6, Defoe 5, Henderson 5, Cleverley 5, Barkley 5.
CHILE: Bravo 7, Mena 6, Gonzalez 7, Isla 6, Vargas 6, Fernandez 6, Beausejour 6, Medel 6, Aranguiz 7, Diaz 6, Sanchez 8. Subs: Jara 6, Carmona 6, Gutierrez 6, Munoz 5, Fuenzalida 5.
Man of the match: Alexis Sanchez (Chile) - A class act from the Barcelona striker, who scored both goals and was a constant threat for England's defence.

text: Hi i have been exclusively breastfeeding my 5 month old daughter who has always been so demanding. But for the last week she has been refusing to feed. I only have to lie her on my lap and she breaks her heart as she knows what's coming. Every day at every feed at the moment is a battle and upsetting for both her and myself. The only way i can give her a good feed is by getting her VERY sleepy, then slowly latching her on. I feel so down about it though as she used to want me constantly for comfort feeds too, and now she doesn't want to know I have gone through so many forums looking for answers but i have tried most of the answers...skin to skin, quiet room. She is teething quite badly and i do give her teetha crystals/teetha gel and they help with her pain, just not feeds. It's awfull as she is such a happy little girl but i always upset her when i try to feed her. I am worried about her not taking enough milk and mu supply. When i do get my princess to feed, she will only drink for 5-8 minutes also, so roughly how long could she go before needing another feed do you think? Some days i feel like just leaving her if she's happy but i did this once yesterday and she went over 3 and a half hours, and screamed because she was obviously hungry, but then i had the trouble of latching her on again because she was starving i think From when she was born she has always fed every 1-2 hours so i am worried to leave her longer. Can someone please help with some advice as i really do not want to stop bf for a while yet and i want to overcome this and enjoy our calm bond which we used to have. Oh i forgot to mention...when she wakes in the middle of the night, she wants me straight away no matter how awake or sleepy she is. I just have this problem through the daytime?? Sorry for such a long thread, i am new to this site and just wanted to give as much info as i could about my LO, Thankyou, Zoe

For three quarters, there was admittedly something missing from a Palatine squad that won 9 of its first 16 games.
The Pirates trailed by as many as 9 in the third quarter against Glenbrook South after taking an early 5-point lead.
And while they made it interesting with some hot shooting in the final minute, Palatine ultimately suffered a 49-46 setback to Glenbrook South in nonconference action Tuesday.
"There was something missing tonight," said Palatine coach Eric Millstone. "We couldn't pinpoint what it was. I thought we were pretty flat for most of the night."
"I feel like we didn't step up as well as we should've, me and everybody else," said Palatine guard Greg Grana, who led the hosts with 16 points and 7 rebounds. "Defense leads to offense. Tonight, the defense just didn't start it up for us."
Palatine (9-8) struggled offensively for three quarters, shooting just 28 percent from the floor and trailing 33-26.
But the Pirates made it a game, drawing within 35-33 with 3:46 left after Jordan Jarrett's lead pass to Roosevelt Smart resulted in a layup.
Even after Danny Nikitas sank 2 free throws to put Glenbrook South (10-7) up 47-40 with 49 seconds left, Palatine stormed back.
Sophomore point guard Chris Macahon found Grana for his third 3-pointer with 31 seconds left. And after a Titan turnover, Macahon passed to Smart on the wing for another 3 to cut the deficit to 47-46 with 21 seconds remaining.
"That's where we started to get stops," Grana said. "We knew that as soon as we started to play defense, those were going to open up."
Glenbrook South's Matt Siegel hit 2 free throws and on the ensuing Pirate possession, Grana nearly sent the game to overtime, but his 3-point attempt hit off the back rim as time expired.
"Palatine is so tough that if it was a 20-point game, which we never would anticipate here, they wouldn't have quit," said Glenbrook South coach Ben Widner. "They would have battled the whole way. They are just a gritty, tough, well-coached, disciplined team."
Smart, who usually has no trouble creating his own shot, never could get going offensively and finished with 10 points on 4-of-8 shooting. Andy Macahon added 8 points for Palatine.
Connor McCarthy scored 12 points for the Titans, who played without leading scorer Justin Busiel.
"Like any loss, if you can learn from it and make sure you're not making the same mistakes again, we'll benefit from this," Millstone said. "We need to come out Friday (at Barrington) and play with the same energy and intensity that got us through the first 16 games. Just put this one behind us."

SCATTERED around the continent during the war years, the Durack sisters and brothers depended more than ever on letters. Nothing stopped the flow of words: the exchange of news, the expressions of self-doubt, the calls for support, the gossip, the need to know that the others were listening. Reg, still a solitary bachelor at Auvergne, wrote by the light of a kerosene lantern under a hurricane-damaged roof. Kim was at Argyle, also alone, planning and dreaming of a new order for Kimberley land. Elizabeth was in Sydney, where she had few friends. She signed her letters to the family as Bet or Bumbles, but she was becoming Elizabeth - a name for a serious artist and the name that Frank always used.
And even though Mary was back in Perth, with a home of her own, she too was lonely. She could not go back to work on The West Australian: like the state schools and the public service, it did not employ married women. More than ever in the war years the Duracks needed one another. Reg could not talk freely to his father; Elizabeth was not at ease with her mother. Exasperation did not extinguish love but it strained their relationships. Mary became their centre, always responsive to their emotional needs. As the family mediator, she urged them to be fair to their parents. Her protest on behalf of their mother drew this reply from Elizabeth:
Yes - I guess I am a bit heartless and don't 'understand' about Mother. The fact is that most, in fact, every human being needs to have someone they can be themselves with. The usually laid out course of affairs is that the daughter confides in the mother but in this case I have you and Reg who understand me dispassionately enough to say anything at all without feeling self-conscious. A mother's love to me was always too defensively protective - it frightened me into complete silence.
Closeness to their brothers - Kim as well as Reg - probably worked against intimacy within the marriages of Mary and Elizabeth. Indeed, Mary seems scarcely to have expected it from Horrie.
On one of his many absences from home she remarked that she was missing him ''despite the fact that we have so little in common''. Their marriage, as Elizabeth remarked acidly, was ''doomed to last'', but its success came to depend on their having separate spheres.
Soon after their marriage in 1938, Mary and Horrie built a house on a corner block in Bellevue Avenue in the Perth suburb of Nedlands. Some family wit called it Mildew, from the combined Miller-Durack names. Nothing could have been less appropriate for a place of constant movement and sociability: ''cosy bedlam'' as their daughter Patsy later described it. Designed by Mary's brother Bill, who had then just graduated in architecture, it must have seemed roomy in 1938, but its four bedrooms would be stretched to accommodate six Miller children and their parents.
Mary wanted children. Whether she wanted them to come so quickly, and so many of them, her natural response was to accept and somehow find ways to manage. Her first baby Patsy, born in August 1939, was ''adorable'', clever, responsive, funny. Mary played with her for hours. Horrie was not enthusiastic about Patsy: she was dark, not like him; Mary thought he was suspicious because the birth came early. Within little more than a year, in September 1940, a second child, Robin, was born. This blonde daughter was more to Horrie's liking; she became his favourite, shamelessly indulged. Perhaps to compensate, Mary was at first cool about Robin, who was ''plainish'' at birth and not as immediately responsive as Patsy to the comedy of life. Julie was born in July 1942, Andy in August 1944 and Marie Rose in October 1949. The birth of a sixth child, Johnnie, in June 1955, completed a family which stretched Mary's capacities, emotional and physical. The strain of motherhood, evident in her letters to Elizabeth, is not reflected in Mary's published writings. Motherhood was a full-time job, especially in the war years, when household help was scarce to non-existent. Horrie, too old for this domestic abundance and unsuited to fatherhood, did not give emotional support. He was by nature a loner, and his work often took him away. There was no place for Mary to write. A table in her bedroom, on which her papers mingled with children's unmended socks, was the best she could do.
Like Elizabeth in Sydney and Reg and Kim in the north, Mary was often alone. Horrie's way of life as a pilot did not change with marriage and for much of the time she was in effect a sole parent. Unlike her mother, Mary had no Nurse Stevens to help look after them and manage the household. Her only sure time for writing was at night, while the children slept, and from these late hours came the letters that held all the Duracks together, as well as articles, stories and poems. Mary had no large projects during the war years, but her output was formidable.
When she married, Mary said that a career would never have been enough for her, but that did not mean she was giving up her ambitions as a writer. If her children were happy and well fed, she was willing to leave some household tasks undone.

Database Mirroring and Cross-Database Transactions
Database mirroring is not supported with either cross-database transactions or distributed transactions. This is because transaction atomicity/integrity cannot be guaranteed for the following reasons:
For cross-database transactions: After a failover, the mirrored database is on a different server instance, and typically it is on a separate database from the nonmirrored database. Even if both databases are mirrored between the same two partners, there is no guarantee that both databases will fail over at the same time.
For distributed transactions: After a failover, the new principal server is unable to connect to the distributed transaction coordinator of the previous principal server that uses the same resource ID. Therefore, the new principal server cannot obtain the transaction status.
The following example illustrates how a logical inconsistency could occur. In this example, an application uses a cross-database transaction to insert two rows of data: one row is inserted into a table in a mirrored database, A, and the other row is inserted into a table in another database, B. Database A is being mirrored in high-safety mode with automatic failover. While the transaction is being committed, database A becomes unavailable, and the mirroring session automatically fails over to the mirror of database A.
After the failover, the cross-database transaction might be successfully committed on database B but not on the failed-over database. This would occur if the original principal server for database A had not sent the log for the cross-database transaction to the mirror server before the failure. After the failover, that transaction would not exist on the new principal server. Databases A and B would become inconsistent, because the data inserted in database B remains intact, but the data inserted in database A has been lost.
A similar scenario can occur while using a MS DTC transaction. For example, after failover, the new principal contacts MS DTC. But MS DTC has no knowledge of the new principal server, and it terminates any transactions that are "preparing to commit," which are considered committed in other databases.

Review Thurles 29th Nov
Whiskey And Red jumps the last with Another Flutter just behind
©Healy Racing Photos
Forpadydeplasterer (3-1) ended a lengthy run of defeats with a taking performance in the Glen Chase at Thurles.
Tom Cooper's 10-year-old hadn't tasted success since claiming the Arkle at Cheltenham in 2009, but had found just one too good on nine occasions since then and thoroughly deserved a return to the winner's enclosure.
Given a patient ride by the trainer's son, Bryan, he still had four horses in front of him jumping five-out but made smooth headway to challenge Snooze with two to jump.
The classy campaigner soon put the race to bed, pulling five and a half lengths clear after taking the last in style.
There was more family success in the opening Irish Stallion Farms EBF Mares Beginners Chase as Cnoc Seoda delivered for the Queally team.
Sporting a tongue-tie for the first time, Declan Queally's 25-1 chance jumped brilliantly in the hands of the trainer's son, Declan jnr, and made every yard.
Mae's Choice stuck on well for second but was three and three-quarter lengths down at the line.
Marito made a perfect start to life over fences when landing the Killinan (C & G) Beginners Chase.
Formerly a smart hurdler in France, Willie Mullins' recruit was narrowly denied in a handicap hurdle at the Punchestown Festival in April and went one better with ease under Ruby Walsh.
The 9-10 market leader jumped into a clear lead when Savello made a hash of the second-last and he ultimately cruised home by 11 lengths from the running-on He'llberemembered.
Mullins and Walsh had to settle for second as Charlie Swan's Make A Track beat Vesper Bell in the www.thurlesraces.ie Beginners Chase, while Saoirse Dun (4-1 favourite) took division one of the Ken Whelan Hangs Up His Boots Handicap Chase for Philip Rothwell and Paul Townend.
The second instalment saw Bryan Cooper complete a double on Colin Bowe's Whiskey And Red (7-2).
Whelan bows out at Thurles
Recently retired jockey Ken Whelan made presentations at Thurles today to winning connections of the races (2 divisions) named in his honour, the Ken Whelan Hangs Up His Boots Handicap Chase.

New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez began a rehab assignment with the Class-A Charleston RiverDogs on Tuesday, going 0-for-2 while playing three innings in the field of a South Atlantic League matchup with the Rome Braves.
Rodriguez had yet to appear in a live game this season while recovering from surgery performed in January to repair a torn labrum in his left hip. The Yankees are hopeful that the three-time American League MVP can return to the lineup shortly after the upcoming All-Star break.
The star slugger's anticipated appearance drew a capacity crowd at the 6,000- seat Joseph P. Riley Jr. Park, with Rodriguez spotted signing autographs down the right-field line after being removed from the contest.
Rodriguez's time away from the Yankees has not been without controversy, with the 37-year-old headlining a list of MLB players linked to Biogenesis of America, a Miami-based anti-aging clinic suspected of supplying performance- enhancing substances that is currently under investigation by the league office.

Virginia Animal Law Society Vice President Wins Animal Law Writing CompetitionPosted on July 18, 2008
Reported by Mary Wood
Virginia Law, January 10, 2008
clients second-year law student Elisabeth Custalow is interested in
helping can't tell her what they want or need, but that won't stop her
from trying. Custalow recently won the inaugural Pet JD animal law
writing competition for her article, "Protecting Virginia's Animals: What Treatment Is Required by Virginia Law of Animals in the Commonwealth?"
by Adaptibar and the Animal Legal Defense Fund, the competition was
promoted nationally to more than 100 law schools. Custalow's article,
written for a general audience, focuses on Virginia's animal cruelty
laws and legal requirements for keeping pets and companion animals. Pet
JD is a Web site that provides networking for animal law attorneys and
informative articles about the field.
Custalow, who serves as the vice president for
speakers for the Virginia Animal Law Society, said she represents a
wave of students and attorneys getting involved in the burgeoning field
of animal law. "There have always been people who have been concerned
about animal welfare," she said. The creation of the Animal Legal
Defense Fund "really led to the growing popularity in the field."
With that organization's creation, students
interested in animal law had an employment goal, and chapters on animal
law have slowly sprung up across the nation. The Law School's chapter
began in 2006, and now boasts 30 members who are active in pro bono
projects concerning animal law.
This summer Custalow will serve as a researcher for
Florida-based attorney Steve Wise, former president of the Animal Legal
Defense Fund and a pioneer in the field.
Custalow aims to work on behalf of animals after
graduation, either for a nonprofit or as a prosecutor, but
acknowledges, "There are more people who want to work in the field of
animal law than there are jobs available." Custalow owns a thoroughbred
horse and hopes to adopt a dog from the local animal shelter soon.

I am just going on smell because I have never actually tasted chicken soup (lifelong veg), so it doesn't seem that veg matzoh ball soup would work, in that it would be quite different in flavor. But now that I know a number of you have tried it and it is still good, I think I will give it a whirl.
For the record, if I had vegetable stock or soup in the house, I might have made the second batch (I can make it vegetarian but not vegan without wrecking it). I had fresh chicken stock and that was it. Giving in to the repeated requests would have meant a trip to the store and money for additional ingredients. Not possible.Now that I'm seeing this thread again, I think it's time to make some more matzo balls!

Finally in a place where he is being recognized for great songwriting and having his work being picked up by some of the biggest stars in the business, James Otto shares the value of being a songwriter.
In a recent interview with 99.5 WYCD's Steve Grunwald, Otto also talks up the value of playing live and touring. Though he admits that being on the road is much harder now with a new baby girl, at the same time, he says, it's an essential part of his life.
"I live to do this man, this is what I love, so not being on the road is not an option for me." Besides, he jokes, there is truth to the phrase "absence makes the heart grow fonder."
Aside from touring (see his upcoming concert schedule), Otto is currently working on a new album (his last collection, Shake What God Gave Ya, was released in 2010). Now that his home studio has been repaired and is "back to normal" after one of the sprinklers let loose and flooded it, he spends as much time in there as possible.
He hopes to have the new album out later this year, but in the mean time he's been writing songs for some of his famous friends.
Tracked a new tune this morning now writing another then workout. Tomorrow full on demo session 5 new songs to track.
#busybusy #fb — James Otto (@jamesotto) August 6, 2012
Enter the Zac Brown Band. James Otto co-wrote the hit song "No Hurry," the fifth single released from ZBB's You Get What You Give album. That in itself was a test of patience, as Otto waited for it to be released to radio (it eventually made it to Number Two on Billboard).
"We had a big ol' hit with it, which was amazing man. It was a song that we wrote a couple of years ago…they had been telling me all along [that] it's gonna be a single, and when they got to the fourth single and it wasn't a single yet, I was like, it's not gonna happen."
Otto explains that songwriting is the "life blood," one of the things an artist lives for. Something that pays the mortgage, keeps your baby fed and makes the car payment. So when he heard "No Hurry" on the radio for the first time (while driving with his wife in the car), he reverently admits that "we pulled over on the side of the highway and sent up a prayer, it was a beautiful thing."
One of the things Otto appreciates and loves about his friend Zac Brown is how Zac celebrates the "laid back side of life" on his records, which he says is "something we all need." The message he gets from ZBB's albums resonate a familiar tone, one that says, "thank you for those days when I can do nothing. I can just sit back."

Check with local outfitters in the area you will be hunting. A lot of outfitters either have a pack-out only fee or know local packers that will do it for you.
I read somewhere awhile back (Can't remember where!!!!!!) that there are some guys that will, for a fee, help pack out elk. I am in Colorado and not a spring chicken anymore, so does anyone know who might do this and how to get in touch with them when I drop that big boy, about 3 miles back, next month?
Check with local outfitters in the area you will be hunting. A lot of outfitters either have a pack-out only fee or know local packers that will do it for you.
Bitterroot has an excellent idea. Call them now so you know how can or can't help ya out. Good luck getting a Colorado Elk! Where are you headed?
Or make friends with someone who has horses..lol..Thats what i do but only if its hot.
I'm almost 70, now I just pack a skillet and plan on spending a couple of months butchering it and chowing down. When its small enough for me to pack out, then I'll start home!!!! Seriously, I am sure there are folks near your hunting area that will rent some stock so you can get the job done.

A couple years ago a guy told me about Packgoats. Yes I thaught he was crazy! I researched it for several months and desided to give it a try. I now have a dozen. Not all old enough to pack yet. I took 3 to Colorado for a high country mule deer hunt, and then left
There for a elk hunt in Wyoming. Two weeks in the mountains without incident. They just worked when needed it was awesome! I
Keep them at a acreage where they keep the weeds down for the land owner and no charge for me. Hope to be hunting highcountry
Till the day I can't walk. Good luck on your hunt.

Our main hope would have to be that by the time Revis wants to re-up again, his value to us is not so high (maybe he no longer IS the true #1 on the field). Then the decision to cut ties is that much easier.
I agree we need to give up less points, but the point is an absurd amount of those points we gave up had absolutely nothing to do with the defense whatsoever and had to do with our other flaws as a football team. Yet, Scoring Defense counts them all against the Defense, which is absurd.
Exactly. Furthermore we did not allow a 100 yard receiver all year. We may have been gashed at times, but it was never on the CB's exclusively. Our secondary is quite good without Revis. That's the bottom line. Do we need to pay so much money to move up just a rung or 2 in total pass defense?
That further proves my point of saying that the pass defense didn't hold up against stronger opponents.
When you play Ryan Lindley and Jake Locker, while other teams got to play Kevin Kolb and Matt Hasslebeck (Not that big of a difference but still), you're team will def go up in the pass defense rankings.
My point is saying that the statistic shouldn't be a basis of argument in regards to Revis.
2011 we were 2nd (15 TDs, 19 INTs).
2012 we were 10th (20 TDs, 11 INTs).
I don't think you can only look at passing yards because the Jets were among the worst rushing defenses in the league and teams attacked them on the ground. The thing that I find more alarming about this is that the Jets gave up more TDs in the same amount of pass attempts yet had half of the INTs. That's why I go with the eye test.
The Seattle game was hardly a major achievement offensively for them either, btw. We featured an inept offense that put up 0 points of offense and was 2-12 on 3rd and 4th down conversions, that was completely unable to sustain any drives, giving them 37 minutes of time of possession and they didn't really do all that much with it. They had under 200 yards passing for the day. But sure, it was our pass defense that didn't hold up. Right.
You're missing the point that EVERY team has a couple 'easy' games on their schedule, over the course of a 16 game season it even outs with the tough stretches like we mentioned above.When you play Ryan Lindley and Jake Locker, while other teams got to play Kevin Kolb and Matt Hasslebeck (Not that big of a difference but still), you're team will def go up in the pass defense rankings.
You mean we looked better against ****ty opponents then we do against really good opponents? Wow, who would've guessed that. That's common ****ing sense. Everyone looks better against ****ty opponents then they do against good opponents. That's why they're ****ty.
It does not make our Pass Defense ranking any less legitimate because all the other teams played similarly ****ty opponents.
And for the record, it makes little difference that we got to play Ryan Lindley instead of John Skelton or Kevin Kolb, or Jake Locker (Who is their actual starter) over his backup in Matt Hasselbeck. They all blow.
Shouldn't be the sole basis, sure.My point is saying that the statistic shouldn't be a basis of argument in regards to Revis.
The fact that he's going to want an absurd contract has far more to do with the decision then our ability to withstand his loss.
Losing Revis will hurt. But there's 3 scenarios, you give him an absurd 100 million, 50+ guaranteed contract that is going to cripple your ability to add more quality players in the future, OR trade him now and you might be down a star corner, but will have some nice building blocks (draft picks) to build a brighter tomorrow, and that cap space which we can use for other purposes, OR let him walk after next year for just some ****ty comp pick (Which we all agree cannot happen). Question is which of the first two is the lesser of two evils, and I don't think it's a slam dunk either way.

At least four entities -- Karvy, CAMS, NSDL and CDSL -- have evinced interest in bidding for the job of verifying genuineness of about 3 crore (30 million) investors in high-profile Sahara case on behalf of market regulator Securities and Exchange Board of India.
The Sebi is currently is in the process of selecting an In-Person Verification Agency to conduct face-to-face verification of an estimated three crore bondholders of two Sahara group firms, by checking their identify and address proofs.
The Supreme Court has asked Sebi to facilitate refund of about Rs 24,000 crore (Rs 240 billion) with 15 per cent annual interest to these investors after ascertaining their genuineness.
While Sebi has extended the bid submission deadline for selection of such an IPV Agency by a month till December 21, a pre-bid meeting arranged by the market regulator with the interested parties was attended by representatives of at least four KYC Registration Agencies.
Sebi has invited bids from public sector banks as well for IPV Agency, but the pre-bid meeting, held on November 7 at Sebi headquarters in Mumbai, was not attended by any bank representative, as per the minutes of the meeting.
The intending bidders whose representatives were present during the meeting included NSDL, CDSL, CAMS, Karvy and CVL.
Out of these, CDSL Ventures Ltd is a wholly owned subsidiary of leading securities depository Central Depository
The KRAs are authorised agencies to carry out Know Your Client requirements for all the market entities, including brokerage firms and mutual funds.
The country's another major securities depository National Securities Depository Ltd also has a wholly-owned subsidiary, NSDL Database Management Limited (NDML), which has been approved by Sebi to function as a KRA.
Besides, CAMS is a joint venture company with three shareholders -- HDFC Group, global private equity firm Advent International and software firm Acsys Software India Pvt Ltd.
Karvy Stock Broking Ltd's fully-owned subsidiary, Karvy Data Management Services Ltd, is also registered with Sebi for carrying out KRA activities.
Sebi had floated a tender for selection of IPV Agency in this case on November 2 and had earlier asked the public sector banks and KRAs to submit applications by November 22.
The selected agency would have to meet the bondholders face to face to ascertain their existence, visit their given address to ascertain their residence proof and verify their original identity and address proofs vis-a-vis given details.
The agency would also collect cancelled cheques from the investors to facilitate the refund of money to them.
Sebi is also in the process of appointing investigating agencies to assist it in this matter, while it is also hiring a Registrar and Transfer Agent for investor data and payment processing related works in the case.

With an Autumn test coming up against Australia on the weekend, Warren Gatland has stated he pinched Alex Cuthbert and George North from England, according to the Daily Mail.
Alex Cuthbert is a winger who currently plays for Cardiff Blues but was born in Gloucester, while George North is also a winger playing for Northampton Saints. This makes both players eligible for England.
But Gatland prevented these two bright talents featuring for the England team, snapping them up before they had received the call-up. The 50-year-old coach stated that the duo are a great addition to the Welsh team.
"I picked Cuthbert and North, one because they are big, powerful athletes, and two because they were English qualified," he said.
"I couldn't just sit there and wait for these two dual-qualified athletes to be snapped up by England coach Stuart Lancaster."
Since playing for Wales, North has scored 65 points in his 34 caps for the Welsh nation, as the 21-year-old is powerful runner who impressed during the British Lions Tour.
While Cuthbert, has only played 18 times for the Welsh nation, scoring 45 points, with the 23-year-old making a name for himself in the Six Nations encounter against England, were he scored two tries to clinch the title.
Both Welsh internationals featured in the British Lions tour, and between them scored 15 points in the three matches against Australia.
Wales are in action this Saturday as they take on Australia at the Millennium Stadium, as the Wallabies have won the last eight encounters against the Red Dragons, and will be hoping to make it nine.
But Wales are unbeaten on home turf in their last two matches, winning three of their last five encounters at the Millennium Stadium, and Gatland will aim for a hat-trick of wins in this Autumn series.

National Guard members from Machesney Park have been back since August, but it takes some adjusting before troops were ready to look back on their mission.
In January, members of the 244th Army Liaison team left for Afghanistan.
Sunday's Welcome Home ceremony was the first time the unit has gathered since returning home in August.
A smile on their face verses the fear of the unknown. On January 10, the 244th Army Liaison team packed up and said good-bye. At that time Laci Lifka-Nelson said, "I'm excited and proud in one aspect but I have a lot of sadness cause I have to leave them."
A year later, Lifka-Nelson's hesitations about the mission are put to rest. The tears then from families who would be torn apart for who knows how long are now proud claps of recognition.
But life in Afghanistan troops say was a daily routine. The American life of numerous responsibilities was why the unit needed time before this welcome home ceremony.
The 244th Army Liaison team tells 23 News that another trip overseas is highly likely. Only two of the U.S. Army's ten active-duty divisions will be at full strength to handle any new conflicts next year. Army officials acknowledge the force is stretched. They say if a new fight should arise, troops from the National Guard like the 244th in Machesney Park are capable of joining the fight.
Soldiers recovering from active duty are generally allowed six months to rest, retrain and repair equipment, but could be quickly reactivated if needed.

Reviews for Chicken Chorizo Lasagna
Average Rating
"This was good. My picky eaters ate it and liked it. Downsize is the time involved. It was my first time using chorizo but the flavor was good. The avocado lime sauce really compliments the flavor."
"Love the flavors. This was an instant family hit!"
"Amazing, I made this recipe and feed multiple "picky" eaters and they loved it! I wouldn't change a thing about the recipe."
"What a crowd pleaser!!! Made this for our HS volleyball conference tournament hospitality room. It overshadowed the regular lasagna I made and so many tasters wanted the recipe. I made it my own and added black olives and 1/2 cup of salsa verde to each layer. I used mexican cheese on top. Don't omit the avocado cream sauce - this is the icing on the cake, so to speak. I did try this with regular hot pork suasage and didn't get the same flavor at all. Stick with the chorizo, it's the best. Great potluck and great for teenagers."
"My husband does not like lasagna, but he absolutely loved this."
"chorizo is a sausage that is featured largely in creole cooking. It can be found in the meat case along with italian sausage and bratwurst, although occasionally it is in the section with the specialty sausages along with hotdogs and breakfast sausage. Ask your grocer for occasionally it is available only frozen."
"What is chorizo?"

purina cat chow
Jun 14, 2007
Hi. My cat and I enjoy putting cat chow in my ass crack and have her eat. It tickles and gets me off and fills her up. What worries me is that she may have biten our gay neighbour before doing this. Should i go to my doctor? I heard that cats can have aids. Can my cat get a HIV rapid test done.
Response from Dr. Frascino
Felix uses your ass crack for a kitty bowl when chowing down his Purina???? Oh my, my, my . . . there are just so many things wrong with that that I don't know where to begin. I'm also afraid to ask what he uses for a litter box!
And you're worried about the gay neighbor???? Meanwhile Bootsy is riming your booty? Hmmm . . . the really ironic thing about this situation is that most folks would think if there is a weirdo in the neighborhood it's probably the kinky gay guy. However, in reality it's Catwoman (or is it Catman?). I've certainly heard a lot about folks getting off eating pussy, but the other way around????????
Oh well, on to your question. Can Miss Kitty get an HIV rapid test done? No. The "H" in HIV stands for Human.
Should you go to the doctor? No, you should go to the pet shop and get a kitty food bowel.
Dr. Bob

This is a Vietnamese recipe for fresh and vibrant Spring Rolls filled with cellophane noodles, shrimp, cabbage, green onion, cilantro, basil and mint. The filling is flavored with nuoc nam sauce and rice vinegar and the rolls are dipped into a spicy peanut sauce made with peanut butter, chile peppers, garlic, ginger and more nuoc nam sauce.
Nuoc nam is a Vietnamese condiment and a staple in their diet. It is made from fish sauce, sugar, chile peppers, garlic, rice vinegar and lime juice. It has elements of sweet, salty, sour and spicy. It is a crucial flavor in both the spring rolls and the peanut dipping sauce.
These can be served as is or fried. I pan-fried these in a minimal amount of oil just long enough to get a little crispy skin to them. These really have a wide range of flavors and textures that will compete for your attention. There is the brightness of the herbs mingled with a little bit of sour, sweet, spicy and salty among soft noodles, crisp cabbage and succulent bites of shrimp that are dotted throughout the filling. The dipping sauce is really something special and so completely irresistible you will be tempted to eat it with a spoon. Not that I did that. I'm just saying.
I'm sending this to the very lovely Joanne of Eats Well With Others for her Regional Recipes: Vietnam round-up.

Omega-3s lower blood fats and inflammation, and omega-3s and vitamin K2 protect from heart disease, in several new studies
In a new state-of-the-art paper on omega-3, Dr. Carl J. Lavie reviewed the major heart disease studies from the last 30 years. Based on the findings, Dr. Lavie recommends that the target amount of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) with docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) be 500 mg per day for everyone without heart disease and at least 800 mg to 1,000 mg per day for those with heart disease. "We have tremendous and compelling evidence from very large studies…that demonstrate the protective benefits of omega-3 fish oil in multiple aspects of preventive cardiology," Dr. Lavie said. He added that omega-3s cut the chances of dying from cardiovascular causes by up to 30 percent in those who have cardiovascular disease or who have had a heart attack.
Doctors in a DHA study said that high blood fat (triglyceride) levels increase inflammation, raising the chances of heart disease, and wanted to see if DHA could lower signs of inflammation. Researchers gave 3,000 mg of DHA per day or a placebo to 34 men aged 39 to 66 who had high triglycerides. While there was no change for placebo, after 45 days, signs of acute inflammation—circulating white blood cells called neutrophils—had decreased 12 percent in the omega-3 group. At 90 days, two other signs of inflammation—C-reactive protein and interleukin-6—had decreased 15 percent and 23 percent, respectively.
Researchers in a vitamin K2 study explained that recent research shows vitamin K protects the heart and vascular system, and wanted to see if vitamin K would lower chances of heart disease. Doctors measured the diets of over 16,000 postmenopausal women, aged 49 to 70, who did not have cardiovascular disease. After eight years, scientists found that the chances of coronary heart disease decreased 9 percent for every 10 mcg of vitamin K2 in the diet.

Do you use them?
I battle myself between being cheap vs being lazy. Is the discount worth the effort? Some times it is, some times it isn't. With coupons, it seems to vary. You have meretricious ads from places like Papa Johns, Pizza Hut, etc. where the coupon advertises actual prices in attempt to bring in customers and there are coupons who actually give discounts.
I saw these ladies save over $75 on food from a case of coupons and became interested. At the same time, you have those coupons that cause you to spend more to save.
What say ye?

Multi-Target Photo-Radar System To Make Speeding Riskier 506
I am dubious...
...when my Google car is driving itself above the speed limit?
You! The Google car team is clear about that, I am not sure why this keeps coming up again and again. Its you driving the car with aids, what ever they may be.
You meant driving the car with ads, right?
This is google we're talking about.
Fortunately South Carolina has Bubba.
Bubba comes in many shapes and sizes (mostly rotund). Bubba likes to shoot and shiny objects that Uncle Sam sets up alongside the road.
Bubba works for the good of mankind by filling full of holes things like street signs, street lights, and traffic cameras.
A speed limit sign, or deer-crossing sign you can just about still use even when it is full of holes. Speed cameras are pretty much useless after the first shot.
What also helps is that unattended speed enforcement is illegal in South Carolina. An actual living, breathing officer has to have witnessed the violation, made the measurement himself, made actual, person to person contact with the driver, issued the summons, and collected the drivers signature.
Unmanned photo traffic enforcement is a big no-no in SC.
http://www.thenewspaper.com/news/31/3176.asp [thenewspaper.com]
That's interesting- I didn't know that. I really did figure we didn't have detection devices like that because they'd get shot.
'Course, just before the camera goes, it gets a pic of your plate.
Which is why you do this with your cousin's truck.
Which is why you do this with your cousin's truck.
So, what, that's any truck with SC plates other than your own? You may want to provide a bit more help and also exclude anyone you live with, including your wife, parents, kids, etc.
No, this is preemptive action, not a reactive action. You do not shoot the camera while speeding, you shoot it before you go speeding.
That way the camera doesn't get a pick of anyone's vehicle.

I think you're being a bit generous here. A quick survey shows that it takes Bubba an average of at least a half-dozen shots to actually bag that deer on the deer-crossing sign. Also, the camera is going to have taken several "shots" before Bubba can even put down his beer. Hardly a fair fight, I know, but it's the gub--mint we're talking about here, so there you go.
I know, but it's the gub--mint we're talking about here, so there you go.
Epic win, right here.
Clearly you've been down here!
And if you don't speed, they don't get revenue.
Funny how that works...
Seems like a very complicated way to collect taxes.
A useful application would be to target those vehicles which are going more than 10% (or 10km/h or whatever) faster than everyone else. That would actually improve safety and make the highway system more efficient (homogenous traffic reduces braking/lane changes and increases throughput). However, that's not the primary goal of highway speed enforcement so it will never happen
Wow. The multi-target radar system is *more* complicated than your proposal, is it? I'd like to see how you quantify your variables and make it hold up in a court of law.
Look, I'm all for simplicity especially when it comes to rules and laws, but anything that is "relative" is asking for interpretation and hence, more complexity.
Seems like a very complicated way to collect taxes.
I like taxes that I can legally avoid paying, though.
Then WHEN this has been implemented for a while... and tickets go up.... and there is no difference at all in accidents or deaths....
can we THEN admit that we have hit the point of diminishing returns wrt enforcement vs actual safety?
We keep seeing more rules or better enforcement... and yet.... don't seem to see corresponding improvements in safety. In fact, the only improvements in real safety that I have seen, have all come from safety devices in cars, like air bags.
We saw it in NY, when talking on phones was banned, and a study was able to verify that yes, people really were switching to headsets or not talking... more than a 60% drop in OBSERVED use...but.... no change at all in deaths or accidents. Yet somehow... that was explained away as not having any meaning (because if the report doesn't say we need more enforcement and more penalties, then its clearly not valid right?)
wow, those are interesting claims. data references please?
because my sources say speed cameras DO work, and on TWO DIFFERENT continents.

nice try, Speed Trollster.
...It costs a billion dollars.
First of all, what is the freaking speed limit on that road?
The only cars in the green are the ones coming to a stop in frame.
Second, I spotted one car with a green indicator accelerating away from a following car with a yellow indicator. So the thing isn't really discriminating accurately.
If I'm ever popped by this system, that piece of video will be my defense.
It looks like the lowest yellow is 40 and the lowest red is 50. One thing I noticed in addition to your finds is that there seems to be a bit of lag in the decrease of speed ratings, but there doesn't seep to be a corresponding lag in the increase.
They also need to take current conditions into account (wet roads, fog, etc.) to determine if someone is breaking the basic speed [wikipedia.org] law, even when they are driving below the posted speed limit.
And if they can do all that, they can objectively determine if you're tailgating (driving on a road too close to the vehicle in front, at a distance which does not guarantee that stopping to avoid collision is possible [wikipedia.org]).
Because so many people tailgate according this definition, this technology has the potential to make roads a lot safer!
Speed Limits are arbitary limits which do not take into account
- Weather
- Vehicle type: are you a sports car or a truck
- Driver skill / fatigue
I think most western countries have passed the sweet stop of punative surveilance vs safety 10 years ago. It is now about revenue raising for states that are cash strapped. The cordon system takes this to a new level. In fact I thought of developing a system like this, and thought no, as it doesn't do the public any good.
What would be better is a fine system that is
There is no reason why government could not calculate the monetary cost of speeding (ie increased accident rate caused by speeding).
Well, that depends on whether an accident is "caused" by the speeding or not. This is a pretty complicated question. The investigators often report 'speed is a factor', however speed is obviously a factor in every crash. In every single crash, if they'd been going more slowly it either wouldn't have happened or would have been less serious.
Those sort of studies often competely ignore statistical variance too. For example, sometimes here on a holiday weekend there'll be no fatalities, and sometimes there'll
Speed Limits are arbitary limits which do not take into account
- Weather
- Vehicle type: are you a sports car or a truck
- Driver skill / fatigue
I don't know about other states, but in California what you wrote simply isn't true. The speed limit is a Prima Face limit; if the officer feels that you're driving too fast for conditions, he can cite you with CVC 22350 (same VC used to cite speeding above the posted limit.) The only difference is that he'll have to prove your speed was unsafe in court*. Vehicle typ
If so I want a dozen of these in my city. On my drive into work this morning three cars zipped through the red light 2.5 seconds after it had changed. On my walk during lunch hour at another intersection I watch 2 more vehicles blow through the just-barely red before they entered the intersection.
Rather than citations, I'd like auto-cannons installed to gun down the offenders.
If you lived in an area that has red light cameras (like mine) you might feel differently. In a perfect world where the police were angels who distributed perfect justice for free, it's probably a good idea. I might even go with the autocannons. Because the problem you describe is very real and very dangerous. And those guys are assholes.
But in real life, what happens is the local police department makes a deal with private companies, the private companies manage the equipment (putting them in the odd p
In New York State, passage on many of the highways requires tolls. Many of us use an electronic system called EZ-Pass to pay the tolls. It's especially pleasant to avoid having to roll down the window during the cold winter.
Instead of all this fancy monitoring gear, you could just look at the times from toll to toll. It would be impossible to prove that a vehicle was never speeding, but easy to prove that it definitely was speeding.
I already feel my environment is overly draconian so I've never been one to
Based on that video, I should just drive close enough to the car in front of me that half or less of my license plate is readable by the camera. Thanks for increasing road safety, automated ticket systems.
Although it would be resource intensive I think they still need to do driving tests that realistically assess driving skill and assign speed limits accordingly. That's the only way I would accept the new personal electronic vehicle speed monitoring systems that are starting to hit public use. Theoretica
Victoria Australia has 99+%* speed limit compliance on some highways and its accident count has been steady for a while and the deaths per distance driver has increased in step with the speed limit compliance. This year was on track for being worse than last year except the police decided to stop writing tickets as a protest for more money which resulted in an increase in speed and a drop in the accident rate.
They run a "Wipe off five" ads here which came from badly done report on crash rates out of South Australia university* that forget to take into account increased traffic density increasing accident rates. They claim by going just 5 km/h over the limit doubles the chance of an accident*. What they don't say is that is true for about 25 km/hr over the limit (as per Solomon quoted elsewhere here). They didn't point out that slowing down everyone increase tail gating which is something like 4000 times more likely to cause a death*.
Of course using traffic from Adelaide for any other city is like using traffic data from Billings Montana for Los Angles, Rome or Cairo.
Victoria currently has about 350 people a year die in traffic accidents*. World wide trends in stats show that number is somewhere between 20 and 100 high than it should be*. I figure the "wipe off five" campaign is killing an extra 30 people a year.
They use the distance over time cameras between Sydney and Melbourne in Victoria and have for years. The police stopped counting a number of single victim accidents in the road stats as well. Apparently stressing out drivers so bad they have a stroke and kill other people doesn't count as a "road accident" anymore since it was a "medical problem"
* data can be found on VicRoad's annual reports and crashstats web sites and backed up references found in a wonderful bit of fiction published by the Victorian Auditor-General.

"Paris: A Love Story"
Kati Marton
Simon & Schuster, $24
In the age of too much information, a brief memoir looks like a welcome relief at first — a respite from the tell-all exposé. In her slender "Paris: A Love Story," Kati Marton gives us the bones of a rousing tale, a portrait of love and loss, chock full of the political players who have shaped world events over the last 50 years. Yet her narrative restraint often dims the light on what has clearly been a rich and unusual life. We have the facts, but we're still missing a lot of the soul.
Ms. Marton was married to two very public men — the ABC News anchor Peter Jennings and the celebrated diplomat Richard Holbrooke, known chiefly for negotiating an end to the Bosnian war. Though Ms. Marton is formidably accomplished, it's safe to say that the characters of these famously volatile men, both deceased, are the memoir's draw.
Jennings was Ms. Marton's first great love, a man who played Pygmalion to her nascent career as a correspondent for ABC News, while insisting that her Ambition, with a capital "A," compromised their relationship. Fifteen years and two children later, their marriage came to a grinding halt in an East Hampton driveway after a friend's dinner party. Jennings's hissy fit was not the first of such scenes, for sure, but it was the last Ms. Marton was willing to endure.
In a charming conceit, Paris wraps itself around the story like a third romantic character. Ms. Marton studied at the Sorbonne as a young adult, and her letters home, excerpted at some length here, rhapsodize about the Paris of Montaigne, music, and sumptuous food. Later, while she was posted to Bonn with ABC, the agony and infrequent ecstasy of her relationship with Jennings, working in London, played out in swanky restaurants all over town.
Ultimately, Paris became the springboard from which Ms. Marton leapt out of her troubled marriage into a new life. Mr. Holbrooke, as it happens, had been waiting patiently. Pulling up on his white horse (an armored Buick, actually) to the Hotel Petit Trianon, Mr. Holbrooke spirited a tearful Ms. Marton away for good. "Kati is more Kati in Paris," Holbrooke later observed, "than anywhere else." The apartment they bought in the Latin Quarter is where she still spends part of each year.
Ms. Marton's back story is surprising. As a girl, she and her family immigrated to New York from Budapest after the Hungarian uprising of 1956, around which her parents, also journalists, were seized and jailed for a time. Among the many languages Ms. Marton speaks is French, taught to her by a nanny — a Communist informant, as it turns out. In other words, though the details are bit sketchy, Ms. Marton comes from some measure of privilege, though her young life was harrowing in many respects.
As a young correspondent, prized, she says, for her fearlessness, Ms. Marton covered everything from the neutron bomb crisis and Palestinian refugee camps to spies in Berlin, the civil war in Rhodesia, and the ascent of Pope John Paul II. Children and a demanding husband pushed her into a writing career she could do from home. "Paris: A Love Story" brings Ms. Marton's book count up to seven, which includes "The Great Escape: Nine Jews Who Fled Hitler and Changed the World," "Hidden Power: Presidential Marriages That Shaped Our History," and her notable biography of Raoul Wallenberg, a Swede who rescued hundreds of Hungarian Jews during the Holocaust. While researching Wallenberg, Ms. Marton discovered that she is Jewish herself — a revelation that takes up startlingly little emotional air time.
Ms. Marton's narrative is direct and clear. She has the reporter's eye for the quotidian detail. Her descriptions of Paris often transport the reader to the scene with all its sights and sounds. For news junkies, there's a political celebrity on virtually every page, as well as several funny stories that will make you wish for more. I laughed out loud at Ms. Marton's account of taking a taxi from a Palestinian refugee camp to Jerusalem to surprise Jennings — the ultimate romantic gesture — only to learn a plane out of Paris was the only way back to Amman. Or a party that the man-eating Pamela Harriman, then ambassador to France, offered to throw for the newly engaged Holbrookes, to which Ms. Marton was not invited. (You had to be there.)
As vivid as these stories are, the narrator is curiously elusive, even after 200 pages. I don't know Ms. Marton much better today than I did at the start, even though I know a great deal more about her life. The private thoughts and feelings she records are often more dutiful than real. Sentences like "Really, it's the simplest things in life that mean the most to me," for instance, or "How enriched I am in every way" have a tinny and generic feel. In her writing, Ms. Marton is often more the informative observer than participant.
As the gut-wrenching mourning memoir gains traction in the marketplace, Ms. Marton skims the surface of this emotional landscape. In a letter, excerpted here, Joan Didion writes, "I woke up this morning thinking of you, and all the mornings you will wake up without Richard." Ms. Didion's 2005 "The Year of Magical Thinking" shook the rafters of grief and, of course, took the National Book Award. "But I don't want to be sad on all the mornings to come," writes Ms. Marton, who in describing her feelings relies a little too heavily on platitudes. "I have just been made painfully aware of how fleeting life is and how unpredictable. In a sense, I have never wanted to hold life tighter, or to live more fully than now, reeling from loss." Enough of that. Tell us how you really feel.
Jennings comes off as a Dr. Jekyll — charming when it suited him; a nightmare when a shift in the wind threatened his shockingly fragile self-esteem. I wish we knew more about how he got that way. Holbrooke, by this account, was a pussycat — though newspaper reports credit his unpredictable rages as the reason he missed out on becoming secretary of state. Still, we can see he knew his way around a romantic negotiating table. He waited years for her marriage to Jennings to unravel, and then played the romantic lead with cinematic aplomb.
"Paris: A Love Story" is a charming pastiche — and perhaps this is exactly what Ms. Marton intended it to be. But as a memoir, it comes up as a sketch in need of coloring. In a blurb on the book jacket, Barbara Walters claims to have stayed up all night to read "Paris: A Love Story" from cover to cover. Granted, the memoir is a diverting read. The drawback is that it doesn't stick to your ribs.
Ellen T. White, former managing editor of the New York Public Library, is the author of "Simply Irresistible," a humorous how-to that culls the lessons of the great romantic women of history. She lives in Springs.
Kati Marton has a house in Bridgehampton.

CHICAGO – Nick Leddy's hockey universe used to be a pretty small place.
Leddy won Minnesota's Mr. Hockey Award in 2009 as the state's best high school player. That summer, he was the first-round draft pick of the Minnesota Wild. He then headed to play for the Minnesota Gophers for a year of development.
And then, all of a sudden, Leddy's hockey world changed direction.
Geographically speaking, it headed south. Careerwise, it headed north.
At 19 years old, Leddy was traded to the Blackhawks along with veteran defenseman Kim Johnsson. In exchange, the Wild received defenseman Cam Barker.
Since that deal Feb. 12, 2010, Johnsson has retired. Barker's NHL career flamed out, and he headed to Russia to play in the Kontinental Hockey League.
Meanwhile, at 23, Leddy has won a Stanley Cup championship ring. He's hoping to win another ring this season with the Hawks, who have a chance to eliminate the St. Louis Blues on Sunday in Game 6 of the Western Conference quarterfinals at the United Center.
"I definitely couldn't have projected this, that's for sure," Leddy said.
To be fair, nobody could have projected this.
A host of TV cameras will focus on Hawks defenseman Brent Seabrook as he returns to the lineup Sunday after a three-game suspension for his hit on Blues forward David Backes. Seabrook will play alongside Duncan Keith, who has a Norris Trophy on his résumé and could win it again this year as the league's top defenseman.
Few, if any, cameras will look for Leddy or fellow steady second-tier defensemen such as Niklas Hjalmarsson, Johnny Oduya and Michal Rozsival.
That's fine with Leddy, who is one of the quietest players in the Hawks' locker room. Let other players have the spotlight. He just wants to play hockey.
"I'd say I've developed a lot here," said Leddy, whose parents still live in Minnesota. "I'm more mature on the ice and off the ice. I would say I have more confidence on and off the ice, as well. More confidence was a huge thing for me."
Teammates and coaches have noticed.
A year ago, Leddy slumped badly in the playoffs and saw his ice time reduced because of it. This season has been a different story, as Leddy has averaged more than 16 minutes of ice time during the series against the Blues.
Hawks coach Joel Quenneville praised Leddy after a win in Game 4.
"I thought he had the puck a lot more," said Quenneville, a former defenseman who played 13 seasons in the NHL. "He was dangerous off the rush, had a good gap, good patience with the puck and [good] play recognition. I thought he was good."
If you ask his teammates, Leddy has a chance to be great.
"He's still a young guy, No. 1," Oduya said. "That's something we can't forget. He's been around for numerous years and he has a lot of experience for being that young. I think, for him, he's been really, really good the whole year.
"I think he has a bright future. It's one more step for him to take to get to that elite level, but it's something that he can do, guaranteed. I think [it comes down to] not rushing too much, working your way into it, and I think he will be all right."
Leddy knows that he'll have to work hard to approach the status of Keith and Seabrook. He watches aspects of Keith's game and tries to apply it to his own, such as the way Keith forces opponents to rush plays or the way that Keith skates so fluidly in the offensive zone.
Mostly, Leddy stays focused on making the right play instead of the highlight-reel play. He has found a home with the Hawks, and this is his favorite time of year.
He never could have projected this.

Swansea fans can start dreaming of silverware after Michael Laudrup's side drew 0-0 with Chelsea in the Capital One Cup semi-final at Liberty Stadium to win 2-0 on aggregate and book a final with Bradford at Wembley on 24 February.
The night was a huge blow to Rafa Benitez who also saw Eden Hazard sent off for appearing to kick a ball boy, leaving the FA Cup and Europa League as the Stamford Bridge club's only realistic chances of winning a trophy.
The Swans meanwhile can look forward to their first ever appearance in a major cup final, and could become the first Welsh winners of the League Cup in a terrific first season in charge for Laudrup.
Controversy ensued after just five minutes in a lively opening - Demba Ba, preferred to Fernando Torres, went down in the area as Ben Davies hung out a leg, but the striker's theatrical reaction failed to persuade referee Chris Foy.
Swansea continued the entertaining start with Michu stinging Petr Cech's hands with a fine 16-yard drive after a clever through-ball by Wayne Routledge, with the hosts showing no fear in defending their two-goal cushion.
Gerhard Tremmel scooped up Eden Hazard's low effort on 20 minutes with Ba lurking for the rebound and did well to hold Ramires' strong drive three minutes later as Chelsea began to threaten the hosts.
Juan Mata couldn't quite control a Ba pass well enough to feed Oscar who would have had a simple finish from 12 yards, but the flair of the visitors' forwards began to shine through despite the confident passing of Laudrup's side.
Swansea failed to clear the ball on the half hour after a mishit Mata volley eventually found its way to Oscar, but the young Brazilian couldn't find enough space to shoot from eight yards and a good chance went begging.
Ba blasted a half-volley over the bar after a defensive mix-up in injury time, leaving his side with just 45 minutes to find two vital goals.
While many would have assumed Chelsea to push on in the second half in search of goals, the visiting fans were left frustrated with the likes of Mata and Ramires seeing shots closed down by a determined display from the hosts.
Chelsea upped the tempo as Mata unleashed a fine 20-yard drive with 18 minutes to go that Tremmel expertly held on to, while Torres was introduced with 13 minutes to try and rescue the game.
However, all hopes of a comeback faded after Hazard received his marching orders with 10 minutes to go after bizarrely kicking a ball from underneath a ball boy, who appeared to be lying on the ball to waste time.
Swansea ended up looking the likelier side to score late on as Ki and Nathan Dyer wasted opportunities, but the Swans will not care about failing to score as they have a dream date at Wembley to look forward to.

hey, is it that folder.ini virus
I thought some other virus, but felt it familiar with.
This one I got before one and half month I feel, at that time itself our aavg had identified it, later, now, even norton is identifying it ok,.
then I want to say you one thing, this viirus main property is to spread itself by copying itself to all the folders.
The main advantage it has is it is always accompanied with the desktop.ini files, and even if someone sees these files, initially they donot get a doubt, because these were the names used by operating system andaevery one knows that files with this extensions are responsible to the look of the OS. SO people would not suspect it in general.
In my experience, I saw this file initially in every folder of his systemm ,and as I got doubt, tried and removed them in the particular folder but when I go ointo the folder again, these two files appears.
Then, I opened the find utility from the start menu and searche for folder.htt file, a list of hundreds of folder.htt files appeared, likewise for desktop.ini, I had selected them all and had deleted them using shift+delete.
I think it didnot come into back again.
The main disadvantage of this virus, is it doesnot destroy any files or something, but it will kill the processor, Imean the performance will be drasticallly reduced.
and later I found AVG identifying as a virus, and I felty happy for identifying it by its activity and removing it sucessfully from my friend's system.
At that time, once again, while making some file transfer from harddisk to harddsk, my friend got the virus again, it had affected the kernel.dll and really at that time I know, avg cannot heal all types of viruses, only it can identify effectively.
But for my surprise, it haled the KERNEL>DLL file successfullly and we had avided formatting the system at that time, just to remove this virus.
SO I RECOMMEND TO USE AVG AND you may feel at least near to what I felt.
It is effective I can say.
if you want t omanually remove, do as I said above, and try the avg, it can heal I thinkI felt some file

Bluffton 73, Mt. St. Joseph 71
Beavers rally in second half for 73-71 win over MSJ
By: Brandy Bidlack, sports information assistant
January 16, 2008
BLUFFTON, Ohio - Bluffton University men's basketball team knocked off HCAC rival Mt. St. Joseph in Founders Hall, 73-71, on Wednesday, January 16, 2008. The victory, coupled with Transylvania's home loss to Hanover, moved the Beavers into second place in the HCAC, one-half game behind Defiance which fell to Franklin College by a score of 76-66. Bluffton improved to 11-5 overall and 5-2 in conference play while the Lions dropped to 7-8 overall and 1-5 in the HCAC.
Justin Rufenacht (Wauseon/Pettisville) jump started the Beavers' offense with a layin following an offensive rebound. A trey by Colt Cunningham (Powell/Worthington Christian) made it 9-8 in favor of the home team less than five minutes into the game.
After a Lion layup by Mitchell Goldschmidt, MSJ took the lead for the rest of the first half. Ben Shindeldecker (Ohio City/Crestview) and Aaron Taylor (Antwerp/Antwerp) each chipped in with two points as the Lions used a 30-12 jag to open up a 38-21 lead with 6:17 to play in the first half.
Two layins by Nick Wilson (Continental/Continental) were not enough to stop the Lion offense as the Mount hit 50 percent (6-of-12) from behind the arc in the first 20 minutes of action.
With 2:34 remaining in the first half, senior Nate Overmyer (Payne/Wayne Trace) sank a triple to pull Bluffton within 13 points, 43-30. After a jumper by Taylor and a drive by Zack Kraus (Findlay/Findlay), the Beavers still trailed by 11 points, 45-34, at the break.
The second half opened up with a trey by Colt Cunningham, followed by a jumper from Wilson thanks to a dish from Josh Eichar (North Baltimore/North Baltimore) after he picked off the Lions in the backcourt. Back-to-back layins by Rufenacht helped pull the Beavers within three points of the Lions, 54-51.
At the 10:14 mark, Wilson got to the rack for the hoop and harm, courtesy of an assist from Taylor. With 7:42 remaining on the clock, Eichar stole the ball and tossed it to Cunningham. Wilson snatched the offensive board and made it a three-point game when he put it back up and in.
A pair of Rufenacht charity tosses tied the score at 61 with less than seven minutes to go. Wilson drove to the hoop and picked up a freebie at the charity stripe to put the Beavers ahead, 64-63. Taylor hit a wide-open three-ball from the left corner to increase the Beavers' lead to 67-63 with 5:21 remaining in the game.
Nate Overmyer fed a Wilson layup to make the score 69-67 in favor of the home team. With less than a minute left on the clock, Aaron Taylor and Zack Kraus both picked up two free throws apiece to give Bluffton the victory, 73-71.
Nick Wilson led the Beavers with his second career double-double, a 23 point and 10 rebound performance which included seven on the offensive end. He also had three assists and two blocks for the night. Aaron Taylor finished with 13 points, five rebounds, and three assists. Justin Rufenacht chipped in with 12 points and 8 boards, while Colt Cunningham grabbed six rebounds and added 11 points for Bluffton. Zack Kraus picked up six points and a block, and Josh Eichar came away with six steals to tie his career-high.
The Lions were paced by Michael Eirons with 17 points, seven rebounds, and three blocks. Michael Romes also had seven rebounds for MSJ, to go along with his 15 points. Chris Cioffi, who buried 4-of-6 triples, and Mitchell Goldschmidt had 12 and 11 points, respectively.
Bluffton went 13-of-20 (65 percent) from the charity stripe, with Mount St. Joseph sinking 10-of-15 (66.7 percent). The Lions led in three-pointers with nine, while the Beavers hit only 4-of-17 in the contest. Bluffton had a slight edge in rebounds, 35-32. The Beavers went 28-for-68 (41.2 percent) from the field, compared to 26-of-49 (53.1 percent) for the Lions. The Mount coughed it up 19 times, five more than the Beavers.
The Bluffton University men's basketball team will host HCAC rival Franklin College on Saturday, January 19, 2008. Tip time is slated for 3 p.m. in Founders Hall.

One day after authorities successfully rescued a child hostage from an underground bunker in Midland City, Alabama, authorities say bomb technicians have found and "disrupted" two explosive devices.
One of the devices was located inside the bunker where Jimmy Lee Dykes held the child, known as "Ethan", over a seven day period. The other device was located inside the PVC ventilation pipe Dykes and authorities used to communicate.
[SLIDESHOW: Photos of Midland City crisis including newly released FBI photos from scene]
Bomb techs with the FBI, ABI and Dothan Police Department continue to search the area around the crime scene for explosive devices. They say the search is expect to continue through Wednesday.
After the search is completed and the area is deemed safe, Evidence Response Teams will begin to process the scene. That phase of the investigation is also expected to last several days.
Authorities are also starting to reveal some of the details around the FBI's decision to breach the bunker. A preliminary investigation indicated that Dykes engaged in a firefight with the SWAT agents who moved into the bunker to rescue the child. Dykes was killed in the siege, though it's not known at this point if his death was self-inflicted or at the hands of law enforcement.
NBC News is reporting that sources have confirmed to them that Dykes was on the ladder leading out of the bunker was preparing to emerge when FBI agents threw two devices at him. The source says Dykes attempted to fire at the agents, who then fired back, killing him.
Jason Pack, a Special Agent with the FBI and Alabama Joint Information Center, said it also appears that Dykes reinforced the bunker against any attempted entry by law enforcement, though no details on the exact nature of the reinforcements was given.
The Dale County Sheriff's Department and the Alabama Department of Public Safety are working with residents who have been displaced due to the standoff. They say they're taking each request on a case by case basis so they can take care of animals and other needs.
"Ethan" who celebrates his sixth birthday Wednesday, was not physically injured in the siege, according to authorities, and appears to be doing the normal things children his age do. He's back in the care of his family.
His mother released a statement through the FBI Tuesday afternoon. ""For the first time in almost a week, I woke up this morning to the most beautiful sight ... my sweet boy," she wrote. "I can't describe how incredible it is to hold him again."
Birthday cards can be mailed to Ethan at this address:

Kapiolani Community College to host Hawaii State Student Culinary Exposition
Event to feature high school and college students from across the state and a special apperance by Iron Chef Hiroyuki SakaiUniversity of Hawaiʻi
Kapiolani Community College
Kristen Bonilla, (808) 956-5039
Arlene Abiang
HONOLULU — The Culinary Institute of the Pacific at Kapiʻolani Community College will host the Hawaiʻi State Student Culinary Exposition, the first of its kind in seven years, on Saturday, April 30, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Kapiʻolani CC campus.

In addition to gold and silver medals presented in various categories, the winner of the "Hot Food" competition will receive an all-expense paid, one-week internship with Iron Chef Hiroyuki Sakai at one of his restaurants in Japan. Japan Airlines (JAL) will provide the winner with round-trip airfare. Sakai will be on hand at the event to congratulate the internship winner and to also present a special cooking demonstration at 1:30 p.m.
There will also be a lecture/demonstration on truffles by Chef Bob Passarelli, CEC, who is the corporate chef for U.S. Foods. Passarelli, considered by the culinary industry as an expert in truffles, has the only truffle orchard in the United States.
The event opens to the public at 10 a.m. with viewing of the competitors final creations beginning at 11 a.m. in the ʻŌhiʻa cafeteria. More than 62 participants will compete in the culinary expo, including community college students from Kapiʻolani CC, Kauaʻi CC, and Hawaiʻi CC, and high school students from Farrington High School on Oʻahu and Konawaena High School on the Big Island.

For tickets or more information about the event, call 734-9483.
The Hawaiʻi State Student Culinary Exposition was created to provide the students of Hawaiʻi with an opportunity to participate in a culinary salon. A culinary salon allows students to compete individually or in teams for top honors in a variety of food presentations and categories that allow them to show off their culinary skills and creativity. Although the salon is unsanctioned, it is patterned after the guidelines of the American Culinary Federation (ACF). This allows participation from all students, whether ACF members or not.
In addition to the salon, the expo will include an ice carving competition, vegetable carving competitions, "Oh Waiter Race," blind wine taste test, food demonstrations by celebrity chefs, and hot food trials.
The competition is open to students of all public and private high schools, community colleges, and military or culinary apprentice organizations, as well as industry professionals (must be registered ACF members) in selected categories.

(CBS SF/RADIO.COM) – With Not Fade Away, we take a look at the legacy of some of the greatest albums of the past few decades – some iconic, some lesser known – as they celebrate significant anniversaries. Today we look at Hole's revered second album Live Through This, which turns 20 on April 12.
Released on April 12, 1994, Hole's landmark Live Through This is an album that is inherently female, unforgivingly dark, and perfectly self-aware.
It was also the mainstream world's introduction to San Francisco born, Courtney Love, who sang lead and wrote most of the songs on the album with guitarist Eric Erlandson. And it became one of the most controversial albums of the year due to luckless timing: It was released one week after Kurt Cobain committed suicide.
But as much as the music drew a certain type of person to the band, so did the album's artwork and packaging. That focus on the visual elements was deliberate, and according to
Robin Seibert (neé Sloan), the former creative director for Geffen/DGC Records, it was also all thanks to Love. "This is all Courtney's creation," Seibert told Radio.com.
