Consider how many times you walk onto the personal or business property of another person in any given day in California:
- If you start your day with a trip to your local coffeehouse, you are on the private property of another, which he or she has opened to the public for business use;
- If you were to then stop by the gas station in order to fill your car up with gas, once again you would be on the private property of a business owner;
- Once you arrive at the office, you are (once again) on the private property of another – your employer;
- Going home, if you stop at the grocery store or go to a restaurant, yet again (you guessed it!) you are on the property of another person.
A slip and fall injury can suddenly occur at any one of these locations, or any other time you find yourself on the property of another, whether for personal or business purposes. No matter your occupation or income level, you are at risk of a slip and fall or trip and fall injury whenever you leave your home.
What Should I Do After a Slip and Fall?
Slips and falls that happen while you are lawfully present on another's property can be the basis for a successful personal injury lawsuit against the property owner. Depending on the actions you take immediately after the fall, recovering compensation through such a lawsuit may or may not be a straightforward endeavor:
- Seek medical attention, especially if you struck your head or believe you may have suffered a serious injury: Obtaining prompt medical attention for any injuries you may have suffered will not only help prevent your injuries and the effects thereof from worsening, but doing so will also limit the property owner's ability to claim your own carelessness contributed to the severity of your injuries and losses.
- Do not sign any waiver or release: Carefully review any release or waiver that is presented to you by the property owner. Some owners may promise you a cash payment in exchange for your signature on such a form, but signing may mean giving up important legal rights. Have an experienced attorney review and discuss the waiver with you prior to signing.
- Speak with a lawyer as soon as possible about your rights: Like other types of personal injury suits, you only have a limited amount of time within which to initiate your claim for compensation. The sooner you speak with a lawyer, the sooner you can begin the process of obtaining monetary damages for your injuries.

If you or a loved one have slipped and fallen while on the property of another and your fall was due to an obstruction or hazard the property owner failed to correct or warn you about, you may be entitled to compensation.

Cumberland Wins 2010 Avista-NAIA World Series Title
June 4, 2010
LEWISTON, Idaho - (Final Bracket) David Fanshawe drove in all four runs, including two with a home run, to back the solid pitching of Aaron Wilkerson to help No. 2 Cumberland University (Tenn.) defeat No. 4 Lee University (Tenn.) 4-3 in the championship game of the 54th annual Avista-NAIA World Series at Lewis-Clark State College's Harris Field on Thursday night.
The title was the second for the Bulldogs (58-9), who also captured the Series crown in 2004 on the same field with a 10-3 win over Oklahoma City.
For Lee (52-14), it was another disappointing finish in its attempt to win the title for the first time. In the last three years, Lee has finished second twice and third once.
The Flames, however, did make things interesting in the bottom of the ninth. After being blanked by Wilkerson and held to just four hits through eight innings, Lee picked up three hits in the ninth, including a three-run home run from Michael Brown, and had the game-winning run at the plate when Taylor Comford grounded into a tournament-ending double play.
The win was the third time Cumberland defeated Lee this season. The two schools, located approximately 100 miles apart, met in the regular season with Cumberland claiming a wild 18-17 win. Cumberland also defeated Lee 11-9 in their first meeting in the Series.
Cumberland entered the game on an offensive tear with an average of better than 10 runs and 3.5 home runs per game in its first four Series victories. While a number of players contributed to the power source - Cumberland had six position players make the all-tournament team including MVP Kris Miller - it was junior catcher Fanshawe who went solo Thursday night.
Fanshawe, who was named to the all-tournament team, broke a scoreless tie in the fourth inning with a two-run home run. Troy Frazier opened the inning with a single and Fanshawe followed with his 13th home run of the season and second of the tournament, this one to left field.
An inning later, Cumberland loaded the bases with two outs on a hit batter and two walks. Fanshawe followed with a two-run single up the middle to make it 4-0.
Fortunately for Cumberland, that was all that it needed. The Bulldogs did collect 10 hits, but left 12 baserunners stranded.
Wilkerson, who also made the all-tournament team, was again brilliant. He followed up an eight-inning four-hit performance with 13 strikeouts in a 9-1 win over Embry-Riddle on Saturday with a four-hitter through eight innings against Lee. He threw 142 pitches in the game and struck out seven.
Lee avoided being the first team shut out in the title game since 1996 when Jose Cuevas reached on a fielder's choice in the ninth and Edgar Molina followed with a single. Brown then set a towering shot to left field for his 11th home run of the season.
Seth Walker followed with a single to put the tying run on, but Comford hit a hard grounder back to Wilkerson, who turned a 1-6-3 double play and sent Cumberland players into a joyous celebration.
Matt Greener, who earlier in the day was named the NAIA's Player of the Year, and Miller joined Fanshawe and Dave Weyer with two hits apiece for Cumberland. Molina and JJ Costantino, the winner of the tournament's Charles Berry Hustle Award, had two hits apiece for Lee.

This project is for a charity called the I Love Me project. I was the photographer at the fashion show held by them. The fashion show's aim was to break the stereotype of disabled people, and to show the audience and the general public that disabled people can do everything that able-bodied or non impaired people can do. This is something that is close to me as I am Autistic.
I was involved from the start, from doing the branding to managing a team of photographers and videographers, as well as helping with the management and setup of the entire event.
These are the best photographs from the event.

Game state engine will be the one which uses by this game to control the world object which will control the game entities such as rock and ship. Another usage of the game state engine is uses to control the game screen (loading screen, winning screen, game over screen and etc). These few days I will need to figure it out how to connect the game state engine with various states that ask the world object as well as the screen object to perform various jobs.
So far here is how the game state engine looks like.
from state_engine import StateEngine from state_loading import GameStateLoading from state_playing import GameStatePlaying from state_winning import GameStateWinning from state_losing import GameStateLosing from state_over import GameStateOver class GameStateEngine(StateEngine): def __init__(self, surface): StateEngine.__init__(self) self.surface = surface #the game surface loading_state = GameStateLoading('load', self.surface) self.add_state(loading_state) playing_state = GameStatePlaying('play', self.surface) self.add_state(playing_state) winning_state = GameStateWinning('win', self.surface) self.add_state(winning_state) losing_state = GameStateLosing('lose', self.surface) self.add_state(losing_state) game_over_state = GameStateOver('over', self.surface) self.add_state(game_over_state) self.active_state = loading_state #set the active state as loading state when the game first started
The GameStateEngine above is derived from the StateEngine main class.
Here is one of the state which will load the welcome screen.
from state import State from screen_load import ScreenLoad class GameStateLoading(State): def __init__(self, name, surface): State.__init__(self, name) self.surface = surface #the surface of the screen self.screen = ScreenLoad(surface) #initialize the ScreenLoad module def do_actions(self): screen.render() #render the welcome screen def check_conditions(self, pos): if(screen.isButtonClick(pos)): #if the play button has been clicked then return 'play' as a new state return 'play'
GameStateLoading which derives from the State class will responsible for the loading of the welcome screen.
Here is how the ScreenLoad object looks like.
from screen import Screen class ScreenLoad(Screen): def __init__(self, surface): Screen.__init__(self) self.surface = surface #surface of the main screen self.main = 'title.png' self.play = 'play_on.png' self.screen = pygame.image.load(self.main).convert_alpha() self.play_button = pygame.image.load(self.play).convert_alpha() def render(self): self.surface.blit(self.screen, (0,0)) self.button = self.surface.blit(self.play, (w/2, h/2)) def isButtonClick(self, pos): return self.button.collidepoint(pos) #if the click area is within the button boundary then return true
Besides loading the title screen the ScreenLoad module will also responsible for the loading of the winning screen and etc therefore there will be further changes for this module.
As you can see the GameStateEngine class needs a lot of modules to function properly therefore it will take a few days for me to figure it out the entire game plan so stay tuned for the further progress of this game!

Music is a remarkable part of our life. Many people listen to it regularly. Whether it's about long runs or exceptional workouts in the gym or even movies and TV shows, we continually see music. Many people like to listen to music and regularly express that they can not survive without them. Listening to music online has never been so easy as you can find the latest versions of online music albums online. Until five or six years ago, part and low-cost administrations were free, but high-quality transfers required some membership or purchase of programs.
Why Should You Listen to Music Daily?
Many people listen to music daily because it helps them in various ways. Some people cannot even sleep without listening to music because it soothes their soul. Other people also need music when working because it helps them concentrate better in their jobs. People also listen to music after a long days work to either relieve stress or even improve them break free.
Development Assistance
Have you ever wondered why there is music in the gym or why people can not continue without their headphones? Music serves as an inspiration to work harder. It also shows that listening to these higher workouts can create endurance in the middle of a session of extreme activity. If you're a wedding organizer, it can help you with small beach wedding ideas.
Improves the quality of the rest
Listening to music has evolved to treat a sleep disorder, especially in young people. The low and tender music usually works and also the remnants of incentive drugs. Research has shown that listening to music at different times promotes better notions of peace for people and even makes the rest calmer.
Reduces anxiety and nervousness
Is it true that you are dying or standing on the edge and do not know what to do? Listening to music at a low, moderate or merely instrumental tempo can calm people in exceptionally dying or dying situations.
There are few advantages to listening to music online:
Restored: The most significant interest in listening to music online is that it's free. You can listen to the latest 2016 music albums online. Also, due to the lower indirect cost of an online radio station, music is in many cases a show with few commercials.
Assortment: Unlike near radio stations, most of which take into account the music taste of the neighborhood, internet radio has hundreds, but many stations and classes to navigate. If you look at the jazz of the 70s, there is a station for it. Any classification or subtype that can be considered is accessible.
Quality: Wireless and broadband connections have expanded to the point where incredibly fast audio can be transmitted directly to the customer. This peripheral sounds like a CD and far surpasses the nature of a typical radio station.
Listening to music always calms your senses and revitalizes you whether you travel alone or want to relax. It connects you to your soul and gives voice to your unheard and unknown feelings. Different people have different preferences about the kind of songs they would like to hear, and it also depends on the environment and the mood in which they are.

EUGENE, Ore. – In an economy that is often up and down in retail sales, a local business is booming and is on the verge of opening up its third location in Eugene.
The owner of My Little Children, Alice Harless, said in her 13 years of business she has successfully opened two stores in Eugene.
Harless said her customers have been pushing her to open up another high-end quality children's resale store. She has even had requests to expand to Portland.
Harless is preparing to open up a third location on Willamette between 28th and 29th Street, near Market of Choice.
She said she is able to open up this third location because the resale business is thriving.
The National Association of Resale and Thrift Shops said the resale industry has become a multi-billion dollar a year market with new stores opening yearly.
There are more than 25,000 resale, consignment and not for profit resale shops in the U.S. and that Goodwill has made more than $5 billion in retail sales in the past two years.
"We're not bothered by if the economy is going to go up or down, we're gauged on how well we're doing, and what the need is," said Harless. "We need to be in South Eugene, so that's where we're excited to be."
She said with children growing so fast, these types of stores help parents save a little extra by still getting quality clothes and other accessories.
Harless said she is hoping that the new My Little Children's store in South Eugene will be open by September 1.
She said it will act much like her other stores with new and used items. She said they will work with mothers who want to sell their children's gently used items.

If you don't know what the bouquet toss involves then you probably aren't going to do one. Basically all the single ladies are paraded on the dance floor and the bride throws her bouquet for one of them to catch. Apparently this gives the person with the greater affinity for catching unbalanced flying objects a higher chance of getting married. Who are we to disagree?
Ever since Beyonce recorded "Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)" it gets played at almost every wedding for the bouquet toss, mainly because it is perfect for it. Before this song came around some other ones were popular;
- Girls Just Wanna Have Fun - Cyndi Lauper
- Raise your glass - Pink
- Wannabe - Spice Girls
- Independent Woman - Destiny's Child
- Lady Marmalade (new or old version)
You could basically place any 'girl power' song in here at all.
garter throw
The garter typically involves the groom removing the brides garter from her leg (often with his teeth) and then throws it towards all the single (gentle)men who have been hearded towards the dance floor. If you aren't comfortable with this just don't do it, instruct your MC not to announce it and put N/A on the request form.
However if you do want to play a song or songs for this section typically something sexy for the removal or something to fire the guys up will work well. Songs like;
- Pony - Ginuwine
- Hot In Herre - Nelly
- Eye of the Tiger - Survivor
- You Shook Me All Night Long - ACDC
- Sexual Healing - Marvin Gaye
- Let's Get It On - Marvin Gaye
- Turn Down For What - DJ Snake & Lil Jon
- Blurred Lines - Robin Thicke
- Sweet Child O Mine - Guns n Roses.

Track to the future: The game's new metrics
As MLBAM began to roll out the first player tracking metrics from the 2014 season, it was with the promise that the fun was just beginning. On Tuesday, a little more fun was unveiled.
Four new examples of the technology are now available, from four games at Citi Field early this season -- two between the Mets and Reds, and two between the Mets and Cardinals. And with the added information, fans (and clubs) can begin to see some of the true value in all of these data.
As MLBAM began to roll out the first player tracking metrics from the 2014 season, it was with the promise that the fun was just beginning. On Tuesday, a little more fun was unveiled.
Four new examples of the technology are now available, from four games at Citi Field early this season -- two between the Mets and Reds, and two between the Mets and Cardinals. And with the added information, fans (and clubs) can begin to see some of the true value in all of these data.
One clip is interesting, but the intrigue increases exponentially with more info.
Here's the thing: This stuff is already cool. But it's going to be so much cooler when it's in more context. We know that Anthony Recker's "pop time" of 0.60 seconds is faster than Travis d'Arnaud's 0.70.
But just wait until there are dozens, even hundreds of pop times to compare it to. As more of this information rolls out, you'll be able to know whether 0.60 seconds is quick, extremely quick or maybe even historic.
As the system rolls into every ballpark and the information becomes visible on your screen of choice in real time, imagine the richness of the viewing experience. It will give live games new layers of excitement and knowledge, better talking points and comparisons or contrasts between pitches and innings. Explanations won't involve quite so much guesswork. Bottom line, the future looks brilliant. We all benefit, and it's coming soon to a ballpark near you, where this material is sure to enhance the in-venue presentation on scoreboards, on air and in handheld devices.
It will be fun for fans, and of course valuable for front offices.
"This is quite simply going to add immeasurably to the amount of information that's available," said Mets general manager Sandy Alderson. "To the extent that things become more granular, then we make fewer inferences as to what actually is going on. The critical thing is to be able to use the data in such a way that ultimately it can be used either in terms of player evaluation or even player education or instruction."
It's a bit like PITCHf/x. When that tool debuted, there were some things that we knew how to use right away -- everybody knows that a 98-mph fastball is serious heat and an 89-mph fastball needs to be located awfully well. But we didn't necessarily know what the individual break distances meant until we had more context.
Now that there are things to compare these numbers to, they have meaning. And for many fans, more information just means more fun when it comes to baseball.
"[Statistics in baseball] is one of the things that actually drives the relationship and makes it so meaningful to people," Alderson said. "Statistics are just inherently part of baseball, and the more, the better for a lot of people."
As MLBAM began this next round with the tracking metrics, one player we wanted to get an early look at was Reds speedster Billy Hamilton, who may be the fastest human being in Major League Baseball history. He's the subject of the first play, but the key is that we have two pairs of plays -- two sets of information, where one play provides context for the other.
Hamilton vs. Recker
The gaudy number here is Hamilton's top speed, 18.71 mph, and yet it does Hamilton no justice. That's because he was running on a wet track, slowing him down quite a bit.
Still, it projects to a mile in 3 minutes and 12 seconds, and 100 meters in 11.96 seconds. And that's not Hamilton's full sprint, given that he had only 78 feet from when he started his run (he had about a 12-foot lead) until he was at second base.
The end result was that Recker caught him. That's in part due to a "pop" time, or release time, of 0.60 seconds. Getting the throw off at 78.84 mph was nice, as was that perfect location on the throw.
Recker was even working at one small disadvantage: Kyle Farnsworth's pitch wasn't a blazing heater. The ball came in at about 87 mph, docking Recker a small fraction of a second that he would have had on a faster pitch. He had the benefit of knowing that Hamilton, in the game as a pinch-runner, was likely in to run, but that's been of little help to plenty of other catchers.
"You just hope that you get a decent pitch to handle and that the pitcher gives you a decent time, because all that stuff factors into it," Recker said.
Hamilton credits Recker for a "great throw," but he also notes that he didn't fully get to show off his greatest tool.
"It was a wet night," Hamilton said. "It was situation where a lot of guys wouldn't go. I still feel like if I get a good jump, no matter how it is, I can go. ... I didn't get a good jump and was hoping he'd make a bad throw. He ended up making a great throw, and I was out."
Phillips vs. d'Arnaud
Brandon Phillips takes virtually the same lead as Hamilton, a little under 12 1/2 feet. He accelerates more quickly (perhaps due to the dry track), though he reaches a slower top speed -- an indication, perhaps, that Hamilton goes farther before he starts to decelerate into the base.
Jon Niese, though, gets a little more on his fastball than Farnsworth, topping 91 mph. That gives d'Arnaud, a fine defender, a little extra time to work with. However, d'Arnaud's pop time is a full one-tenth of a second slower than Recker's, a significant difference. His throw also has less velocity, coming in about 4 mph slower.
It adds up to another fairly close play, one that might have been a bit less close if d'Arnaud's throw had been as perfectly located as Recker's.
That's the whole thing here, though -- we're dealing with tiny fractions of seconds and minuscule distances. It's not a second or two that determines out or safe. It's one-tenth of a second.
Mets turn two
It becomes clear as we delve into the data just how many pieces have to come together to make what seems like a common play. With Jenrry Mejia on the hill, Ruben Tejada and Daniel Murphy turn a pretty double play on a grounder by Jon Jay, but as the breakdown shows, a great many elements combine to make that double play happen.
Jay, not known as much for his speed as some of the players discussed above, gets after it. He reaches 18.65 mph up the baseline, nearly as fast as Hamilton. That's apples and oranges, of course, since Jay keeps running through the base, while Hamilton has to slide, but it's still somewhat illustrative.
The Mets get Jay, though, because Tejada makes a very quick first step (0.15 seconds), ranges 16 1/2 feet to the ball and releases in less than a second despite being on the ground. Murphy releases in .55 second and gets some nice mustard on the ball (nearly 67 mph) despite being in the air.
Jay drives in two
This play, in contrast with the double play, reveals some of the ways baseball can be an unjust game. After all, Jay hits the ball to a similar location with less velocity, and yet instead of a double play, it's a single up the middle.
The ball comes off of Jay's bat at 94 mph, rather than 102. But the shortstop, in this case Omar Quintanilla, is playing about 3 1/2 feet farther off the bag than Tejada on the double-play ball. And, what do you know, he misses the ball by 3 feet, 7.59 inches.
That's a bit curious because it's against Dillon Gee, who doesn't throw as hard as Mejia -- you'd think the shortstop might be playing more toward the opposite field against the harder thrower, but it's the opposite.
In each case, the double play is in order. In each case, it's relatively early in the game. In each case, the score is close. But one shortstop is playing farther to his right than the other, and it makes a difference.

text: We aren't exactly shy about how much we like Flume here on CasaSwoop. I think this is the 4th or 5th post we've made where he was the original and or remix artist. But that should say something about both his own talent and the songs he chooses to work with. We have yet another great example here with his fantastic remix of Ta-ku's "Higher." Granted, Ta-ku's original is really more of a beat track. At only 2 minutes long, I don't think this one's meant to be a stand alone track. That being said, the beat and flow are incredible, which is why Flume is able to do so much with his remix. Oh by the way, both of these guys are Australian, yet again. Seriously, I'm starting to wonder how many of these artists that we've reviewed so far actually are Australian. It has to be somewhere around 30-40%. I should also mention that Flume is on one of my personal favorite labels: Future Classic. Anyway, I'm getting sidetracked. Back to the music. The most interesting elements of Ta-ku's original are the progressive rhythmic changes and the really down and dirty bass synth line. Ta-ku likes to keep you guessing by periodically dropping out the beat and allowing the unusual rhythm in the upper synth to take control for a while. The "womp-womp" bass (nice name I know) is a really nice touch. It adds a lot of texture in the volume of the track; it almost feels like it's breathing somehow. Sadly, this track is so short and simple, there really isn't much more to say. However, there's quite a bit to say about Flume's remix. Right away you're struck with that signature "in your face" style that Flume loves so much. The beat always feels like it's about to jump off and slap you. I really really like the vocal sample that Flume chooses to use here. It's a really rhythmic line that actually feels more like an instrument than a vocal because it never really comes to the front, it just sort of embeds into the whole structure of the track. This track is also much more "hip-hoppy" than the original. It has a sort of playground feel to it between the hard hitting snare, poppy synth chords, and muffled vocal lines. This track makes me want to dance, personally, and it should probably have a similar effect on you. If it doesn't…. well…. I dunno you should probably go listen to some Pitbull or something. Anyway, listen to both of the tracks below and please comment with your thoughts and ideas! We'd love to hear them!

QDiscovery Approach to Forensic Analysis
At QDiscovery, we assist your case team in identifying and analyzing all pertinent data sources related to your case or investigation. Our team of highly experienced forensic examiners and eDiscovery consultants understand investigation and litigation realities and bring vital expertise to assist you in developing effective strategies to uncover the truth hidden in your data. This consultative partnership lasts throughout the entire life of your case.
Our forensic capabilities span the entire left side of the EDRM from information governance and identification through analysis and reporting. We observe rigorous intake methods to preserve chain of custody and apply strict protocols in our investigations ensuring that the evidence and findings are admissible in court. We answer the important who, what, where, when and how questions that live in your data.
Our Forensics Team
QDiscovery has a full team of qualified digital forensic practitioners made up of seasoned forensic investigators, IT professionals and in-house attorneys. Our forensic practice group will work with your legal team during every stage of the litigation lifecycle to ensure that relevant data sources are identified, collected and analyzed.
If our forensic analysis indicates that litigation should proceed, you need confidence that the team who did the analysis can provide defensible reports and testimony. Rather than offer up your client's IT personnel as witnesses, you can rely on the years of testifying experience the QDiscovery team brings to the table. Our forensic experts present technical information in a way that people without a technical background – such as judges and jurors – can understand. Our forensic examiners have experience testifying in local, state and federal courts as well as arbitration panels and other adjudicating venues.
Getting the right team in place at the onset of litigation, or anticipated litigation, can mean the difference between proving your case, getting a suit dismissed and even sanctions.
Departed Employee Investigations
85% of trade secret theft is committed by people internal to their organizations. Proactively manage risk and minimize exposure to damages by instituting policies that include an investigation of departing employees' computers and mobile devices. Our services provide peace of mind that you have defensibly and in a forensically-sound manner preserved and analyzed the data needed to determine if litigation should be filed.
Security Incident Response (Data Breach)
We help determine the scope of the breach and provide a comprehensive assessment of what information has been accessed and how it has been moved or used. We also recommend remedial measures that assure greater future security.
Mobile Device and Social Media Investigations
Combining the years of experience our forensic team has with the impeccable skills and breadth of knowledge of our project management and processing teams, QDiscovery has developed custom workflows to collect and process non-standard ESI. This includes mobile devices, social media and other internet data to ensure our clients can search, review and produce these critical data sources. With QMobile, review mobile device data the same way you review emails, within Relativity or other review platforms.

CIA-trained unit to join fighting in Syria, says President Obama
Syrian rebels trained by a CIA programme in Jordan are sneaking into the warzone and ready to strike back at the Assad regime, US President Barack Obama has reportedly said.
In his efforts to secure the support of Republican Senator John McCain in a crucial upcoming Congress vote on military action, the president indicated that the covert operation to bolster rebels' chances on the ground was about to pay dividends, according to the New York Times.
In a meeting at the White House lasting an hour, Mr Obama and Mr McCain appeared united in their agreement that any action on Syria needed to go beyond the superficial, and the president has since said he wants to "degrade Assad's capabilities".
The first cell of 50 rebels trained and armed by the CIA, reportedly in Jordan, has begun to cross over into enemy lines.
While an airstrike could include aircraft, artillery and missile attacks, the failed candidate in the 2008 US presidential elections is among many in his political party who feel that the only way to really impact on the regime's military capabilities is to arm the rebels.
Indeed, the Wall Street Journal yesterday reported that Mr McCain had said it was "shameful" that the US had previously – three months ago – promised arms for the opposition, only to fail to deliver.
Following the reassurances offered on Monday, Mr Obama has now won the conditional support of two of his fiercest foreign policy critics, with fellow Republican Senator Lindsey Graham joining Mr McCain in saying he was prepared to vote in favour of the authorisation the president seeks.
Mr McCain added that a congressional vote against the administration's request "would be catastrophic in its consequences" for US credibility abroad.
And Mr Graham said: "There will never be a political settlement in Syria as long as Assad is winning."
In a statement to Congressional leaders yesterday, the president said he was confident that Congress would vote in favour of US military action in Syria and confirmed there exists a broader plan to help rebels defeat President Assad's forces.
"What we are envisioning is something limited. It is something proportional. It will degrade Assad's capabilities," Mr Obama said.
"At the same time we have a broader strategy that will allow us to upgrade the capabilities of the opposition," he said.
The president also reiterated his "high confidence" that the Syrian government used chemical weapons against its own people, and added that it posed a serious national security threat to the US and to the whole Middle East region.
Repeating the key argument that his administration has made in trying to win over Congress, Mr Obama said that not holding Mr Assad accountable would send the dangerous message to the world that international red lines on issues like nuclear proliferation and the use of weapons of mass destruction had little meaning.
"We are going to be asking for hearings and a prompt vote," he said. "I'm very appreciative that everybody here has already begun to schedule hearings and intends to take a vote as soon as all of Congress comes back early next week."

Bach on Koreas: 'Now it's for politics to take over'
PYEONGCHANG, South Korea (AP) — President Thomas Bach believes the IOC has done its part in getting North Korea and South Korea together at the Pyeongchang Olympics.
The ball's now in the court of the divided nation.
"Now it's for politics to take over," Bach said during a visit to The Associated Press office at the Olympics. "You know sport cannot create peace. We cannot lead their political negotiations. We have sent this message — this dialogue — that negotiations can lead to a positive result. Now it's up to the political side to use this momentum."
Bach said he's hopeful the detente will continue after the "Olympic flame has been extinguished" at the closing ceremony on Feb. 25 in the frigid mountains of South Korea.
Bach has been emotional about the Koreas and their presence together. He was born in West Germany and won a gold medal in fencing for a divided Germany.
Bach described the Olympics as "off to a great start" and dismissed the fact that high winds forced the first two Alpine skiing races to be rescheduled for later in the week when the cold and wind is expected to moderate.
"These cancellations do not worry us at all," he said. "The international federations, with whom we have talked, they have told us there is no reason to worry. We have two weeks to go. We are an outdoor sport and we manage these kind of cancellations."
Local organizers apologized Monday for up to two-hour bus delays impacting 55,000 workers and volunteers who have been forced to wait in cold, freezing weather. Buses have been irregular, slow moving and there have been too few for some of those working the Olympics.
Organizers said transportation for dignitaries and athletes had been going off without a hitch.
"There are some shortfalls," said Kang Hee-up, director general of transport. "I'd like to apologize for the inconvenience caused."
Kang added: "We have had limited resources and this is a mountainous area, and the shortage of infrastructure here has been a factor. We prepared. But now as we are operating on site, the demand is going over our capacity to meet it."
Organizers said they are using 1,800 buses at the Olympics, and hope to add about 10 percent more to meet the demand. They say a $3 million budget increase to fund the buses has already been approved by the local organizing committee.
"I cannot remember any games when we did not have transportation problems in the beginning," Bach said. "You cannot rehearse an Olympic Games in regard to transport."

Logic programming in Python
pyDatalog adds the logic programming paradigm to Python's extensive toolbox, in a pythonic way.
Logic programmers can now use the extensive standard library of Python, and Python programmers can now express complex algorithms quickly.
Datalog is a truly declarative language derived from Prolog, with strong academic foundations. Datalog excels at managing complexity. Datalog programs are shorter than their Python equivalent, and Datalog statements can be specified in any order, as simply as formula in a spreadsheet.
pyDatalog can be used for:
pyDatalog is derived from previous work by John D. Ramsdell. It is an open-source project (LGPL) lead by Pierre Carbonnelle (in Belgium). It is inspired by LogicBlox.

The Natural History Museum today unveiled its new £78m Darwin Centre, which shelters millions of plant and animal specimens within a giant concrete blob.
Among the previously hidden gems to go on display will be the centre's scientists, who will work in full view of the public when the attraction is opened next week.
Many of the experts said they were relishing the chance to perform in glass-fronted laboratories, some linked by intercom so visitors can ask about the work they are doing.
Those working in the spotlight will include Adrian Glover, who has returned from the Antarctic with a new variety of deep sea worm which feeds on whalebone and which he has christened "the bone eating snot flower", and Jan Beccaloni, an arachnids expert.
Although the public will be able to watch scientists doing real work in the laboratories, the experts will still maintain the use of their own private lairs.
"On any project in science, there's a small amount of time that you're actually doing something visually interesting, and a great deal of time when you're just sitting at your desk writing or poring over your notes," Johannes Vogel, the keeper of botany, said.
"I don't think the public would want to watch a scientist just sitting there twiddling their moustaches."
Although christened "the cocoon" by its Scandinavian architects, CF Møller, the new structure looks more like an airship tethered in a giant glass hangar behind the towers and arches of the museum's main Grade I listed Victorian home.
Its eight-storey, 65-metre bulk is the largest sprayed concrete curved structure in Europe, and holds enough new archival storage cabinets to stretch from Kensington to Westminster, the museum director, Michael Dixon, said.
Creating it involved moving 120 staff and 78m specimens into temporary stores. In the entire move, Vogel said, three drawers were slightly damaged, one beyond repair, but not a single specimen was damaged or lost.
The top three floors of the building contain spectacular new galleries, displaying some of the oldest and most precious objects in the collection.
These include specimens brought back by Charles Darwin from the Beagle voyage which launched his life's work on the origin of species.
There is also a new studio named in honour of the naturalist David Attenborough, which will host screenings, talks and live demonstrations.
Objects brought out for the preview included a meteorite from Mars, a 400-carat diamond, a case of live giant scorpions and archive film of the young Attenborough helping a specimen hunt for London zoo by stripping off his shirt and hurling it ‑ and himself ‑ on top of a startled small alligator.
The centre opens to the public on Tuesday next week. Admission, which is free, is by timed tickets which can be booked online.

Jobs fair follows Greenwoods Communications closure news
A jobs fair is being set up to help more than 240 people who lost their jobs at a communications firm.
Staff at Greenwoods Communications in Coleshill, Warwickshire were told on Thursday that the business, which worked with major mobile phone operators, was closing.
North Warwickshire Borough Council has been organising the jobs fair.
The authority said it "should be able" to point workers in the direction of "quite a number of vacancies".
Assistant chief executive Steve Maxey said: "Whilst obviously it's not very good for those involved, the background picture is very, very healthy in north Warwickshire.
"We're the only district in Warwickshire that's managed to create more jobs than there are people in the borough which obviously is quite a healthy situation."
In a statement, joint administrators Deloitte has said the firm provided manufacturing services and engineering repairs to telecommunications companies.
It employed 210 staff at its leasehold premises in Coleshill and 58 field engineers across the UK.
About 26 workers were being kept on to help with "the transition", Conservative MP for North Warwickshire and Bedworth Dan Byles said.
Staff would be paid until the end of the month and would receive redundancy payments, he said.

Simple Beginning Breathing Meditation
"When you own your breath, nobody can steal your peace."
This is a simple breathing meditation you can practice anywhere at anytime, for any length of time. Regulating your breath in this way allows the heart rate to slow, your muscles to relax, and your mind to settle.
10 Count Inhale / 10 Count Exhale
- Lengthen and slow the inhale and exhale to the count of 10.
- Observe a tiny pause at the top or your inhale and then exhale.
- Repeat. If you loose count, simply begin again and know that it is not failure or an inability of any kind. Counting to 10 is easy, staying with your breath in kindness is the practice.
- If a 10 count seems out of reach begin with whatever number seems accessible without struggle and work your way up.

Nevada is known for a number of reasons as being a great state to visit, and a lot of people from around the world tend to head over to this region of America.

1) Las Vegas
Don't you want to go to Las Vegas? This is the primary reason people are going to head over to this state, and it is a great reason, to say the least.
You will want to head over to the Strip and just take a look around because there is so much to do.
2) Great Weather
You are going to enjoy the great weather as that is a major plus point too.
You are going to realize the weather is worth it.
It barely rains and you are not going to mind stepping out in a pair of shorts.
3) Great Food
Who doesn't want to eat good food when they are touring a new state? You will be the same, and the options you are going to see will be incredible. You are going to get blown away at the options being presented to you and that's what it is all about at the end of the day.
4) Fun People

These are the reasons to head over to Nevada when you're thinking about traveling to this part of America in the future. There are many places you can visit, but it is not going to get better than this state. It will be a memorable experience.

Crvena Luka
Dalmatian Coast Wedding
Oh man, we really are struggling to put into words just how much love we have for Sylvia and Dimitri, and their wedding on the gorgeous Dalmatian Coast. If only we could bottle up that afternoon, evening, and early hours of the morning. The warmth towards us from these two and their family and friends outshone the beaming summer sun.
When we first spoke with Sylvia and Dimitri they had absolute clarity about the vibe they wanted for their wedding. The wedding was to be fun, authentic, relaxed, and filled with great food, dancing and more dancing into (and beyond) the night. But what was abundantly clear was that the most important part of the day for them was celebrating and connecting with their family and close friends, who had gathered from all over the world. And they absolutely nailed it.
Sylvia and Dimitri's wedding was at Crvena Luka Hotel and Resort.
Sylvia's wedding dress was designed by Kathy Heyndels.

I'm referring to Noli, of course, my seven pounder maltipom who, up until now, has been solely groomed by moi. Common reactions when people in my building see her after her spring haircut:
"She lost so much weight, is she okay?"
"I have a terrific groomer if you want his card."
"You butchered her!"
And the ever-popular, "It'll grow back." [fake smile]
I just couldn't see spending more on her haircut than mine. Also I was perpetually broke. But now that I'm 30 I have my finances under control, payin' my bills on time and being Miss Independent and all that (quite obviously, Ne-Yo thinks of me when he sings that song), so I splurged this season and made an appointment at PetSmart. It was only $45, compared to $60 and upwards at boutique places in the city, so I figured I could handle it.
By the time I took Noli in, her hair was turning into show dog wannabe length, emphasis on the wannabe because, since I normally groom her, it looked kinda scraggly. Plus it was all in her eyes and I was constantly struggling to push it down around her nose so she could see.
"Mommy, I can't see and I have alfalfa hair. Plus Cousin Dickens is trying to steal my spotlight.
Can you please deal with this?"
"Mommy, this is better. I prefer to take up most of the frame. But see how this hair is still sticking in my eye? Seriously, fix the problem. And get me a tiara while you're at it. Bacon flavored is best."
So I dropped her off first thing Saturday morning, all proud of my Baby Gurl for being so brave. The other dogs were barking and jumping, and she started shaking in my arms. It was so sad passing her off to the groomer. So I lingered in the shopping center for a couple of hours (and bought some great stuff! Going to attempt the romper this year. The Roomie says I look like I'm trying to be 22.) then went to check on her, but they hadn't even started. So I decided to go home, and it made me so sad to leave her. (My kids are going to hate me, aren't they?) The Roomie consoled me and predicted Noli would cower with shame when she got home, like I'd stripped her naked or something.
I called a couple of times to check in, and finally she was ready for pick-up. (The groomers are going to hate me, aren't they?) When I arrived they were finishing up her nails, which I guess they had forgotten to do. I hid behind the cash register and watched her (i.e., took pictures, I am SUCH the annoying mom type).
Noli hangin' out on the table, acting totally fine.
Noli wagging her tail and shaking her leg, obviously having a good time and not a care in the world.
Shoot, I've been spotted. It's all over. Crying and shaking commences.
When I paid for the grooming I noticed it was more than I'd expected, and then I saw the "handling fee."
"What is this?" I asked the groomer.
"I had to have someone hold her, she was kinda crazy when we cut her face."
That's my girl, seven pounds of ferociousness when it comes to her most important feature.
Of course that evening she pooped on the floor, but she sure looked pretty doing it! And no shame with this girl. She pranced all over the place.
"Profile shot, please. Plus I'm not talking to you right now."
Every time I took her out she ran to any person we passed and jumped around, trying to get their attention. Reactions included:
"She's soooooooo pretty!"
"Where did you take her? She looks so white!"
"Well somebody's been coiffed!"
"I'm so glad you finally took her to a professional."
So I guess this is a permanent thing now. My own hair? That's another story. (I gave myself highlights a couple of days ago. But they turned out okay! I think...)

First week of school is problem-free
The first week of classes was smooth sailing in Charlotte-Mecklenburg's Northeast Learning Community, its area superintendent said.
Scott Muri said there were no major problems. The only glitch was flooding Wednesday, which caused some transportation problems.
"But it was really a smooth start – amazingly so," Muri said.
Muri said retirement and promotions have led to a lot of principal turnover.
"But we're really happy with the people we have in place now," he said.
Muri cited Cochrane Middle School.
"It almost seemed to have a prison mentality before," he said. "But what a change! There are renovated buildings and a whole new atmosphere there."
When teachers arrived Aug. 18 for the first work day, Principal Valarie Williams had two staff members carry a small casket-shaped box into the meeting room.
Then she asked everyone to write down a bad memory of the school and put it in the box.
"We're burying the past," she said.
Muri said plans are to revive the Governors Village concept for Vance High, Martin Middle, and Morehead and Nathaniel Alexander elementaries.
"We're meeting this week," he said Tuesday. "Those plans are moving ahead."

I finally broke down and got out my relief printmaking tools. I was looking at the work I've done so far for running snail & rainbow and noticing a glaring omission in the lineup: a wood block print. I only got to take one printmaking class in college, which is a great sadness to me, because if I had found the medium before second semester of senior year I would have most certainly taken another and another. I want presses and rollers and cranks, buckets of chemicals and plates of metal and glass, and I want to know how to use all of them. Even my painting professor thought that more printmaking would have been a good use of my time.
What he did not think was a good use of my time were my antics in the theatre department, dabbling in plays and entertaining the fantasy of becoming an actor. He saw that my work in the art studio suffered horribly when I split my creative focus. He had a point. But aside from his point, painting was just never my medium. I wanted it to be. Desperately. He was a brilliant teacher, and a brilliant artist. His use of color made you want to live behind his eyes forever. His world was vibrant, unexpected, beautiful. My problem was not understanding the color theory, or what all the different little tubes of paint and gels did. My problem was with the palette--it got so messy, and my brushes got so globby; it just wasn't how I think. The teacher probably unfairly blamed theatre entirely for my ineptitude, when really I just couldn't organize myself the way I needed to do interpret what I was seeing. Then one night, second semester of senior year, I was in the printmaking studio finishing up a project. He was grading portfolios in the adjoining studio and popped his head in. "Oh," he asserted, matter-of-factly, after having seen my woodblock prints, "you're a printmaker."
I don't know why I didn't touch my tools to a piece of wood for seven years. Figuring that out doesn't warrant any of my energy, so suffice to say that I've started a piece, for children (or not), about the four seasons. But I didn't want this bit of writing now to really be about that piece, since I don't want to give anything away yet. What I really wanted to talk about was yesterday afternoon.
I've begun to wonder how people who live in more-or-less season-less climates--you know, like the tropics--keep track of how time has passed. My entire internal clock is based upon how the light looks, the air feels and smells, and where I've spent the majority of my time. Yesterday afternoon, on an unseasonably warm spring day, I took my daughter into the backyard, filled up her little wading pool, and brought my wood carving supplies outside. She sat pouring water from one cup to another, and I carved my block of wood. I was struck how similar this was to an early evening last summer, an evening when I finally figured out how to capture a moment of quietness in her waking hours.
The two early evenings have so many things in common: the out of doors, the water, the long shadows, the rarity of the occasion. Yet they are so different. I didn't sit there like I did last year, stunned at the advent of motherhood, blinking in the light. I was able to do something for myself: carve out a few little bits of my woodblock. It wasn't much, but it was everything.

Sephora added another spanking new store to their kitty at the Infinity2 Mall here in Mumbai. Stocked to the brim, the sparkly new store is more than inviting. I've been a shopper at Sephora for over 10 years now, even before it came to India and when the first store opened in Delhi, I was there on the very first day to grab some essentials. Not only is Sephora a beauty lovers haven, it lets you browse through so many different brands and varieties of products before you decide what you'd like to spend your money on. However, it can some how become slightly overwhelming. So I decided to list down my top 10 picks that you should go and try at a Sephora near you!
1) MakeUp Forever HD Foundation
One of the best foundations I've ever used, not only does it make your skin look amazing in person but it also photographs like a dream. I've been using this foundation for 5 years now and this is the only foundation I use for all my blog shoots! It's a matte finish foundation and is available in more than 15 shades to exactly match your skin tone. So if you're in the market for a new foundation, this would be an ideal pick!
2) Cover Fx custom drops
Introduced to Sephora India a few months back, Cover FX is yet another amazing brand to try out if you're looking for foolproof base products. I recently picked up the much hyped Custom Drops and I couldn't be happier. The product as the name suggest is created in a way that you can mix as many shades to create your perfect shade or you could even mix it with your existing foundations. I got mine in a shade darker so that I could mix it with some of my older, lighter shades. The coverage is rather full which works for me but if you're someone who enjoys a lighter coverage, you could mix the custom drops with your moisturizer to achieve that effect. All in all, a must try!
3) Sephora powder
Sephora's own make up line is rather vast. From base products to bronzers to eye shadows to lip products, you name it, they have it! I am a huge fan of their primer, matte lip creams, eye shadow pencils but my favorite is their Matte perfecting compact powder! I have combination to oily skin and this powder works like a dream on my skin. I love using a BB cream and then lightly set it using this powder which lasts me all day!
4) Benefit Brow products
Very few brands at Sephora India has as many brow products as Benefit. They are all set to launch their brand new brow products range this month and it consists of over 10 brow products for all types of brows. After ignoring my brows for years, now I can't step out of my house without checking if their in place. Whether it's a sturdy brow pencil you're looking for, a brow filling powder or a gel, you can find it all at the Benefit counter!
5) Sephora Beauty blender
I'm a huge fan of the Beauty Blender or other blending sponges and have replaced all my foundation brushed with several of these dome shaped wonders. Not only is it easier and quicker to blend your foundation, they are super easy to clean and maintain. Sephora has their own version of the Beauty Blender and it's a rather good option. So if you've been living under the rock and haven't tried one yet, I suggest you grab one on your next Sephora visit! Mind you though, they are often sold out.
6) Boscia Skincare
Let's talk skincare now. I've been rather vary of my skincare for the past one year and have been ardently following the cleansing, toning and moisturizing routine. Boscia is one brand that has worked wonder for me. Their spray toners and clay mask are my favourite!
7) Tom Ford Perfumes
I hunted so long to grab the Tom Ford Noir perfume and my search ended at Sephora! Not only Tom Ford but other exclusive perfume brands are easily available. They also have several offers and miniature sizes and sets that are exclusively only available at Sephora! So if you're a perfume collector like myself or are looking for a gift for someone special, you will not be disappointed.
8) Stila Liquid Lipsticks
Liquid lipsticks took the world by a storm this last year and although it's take a while for several brands to have their version enter the Indian market, Stila's liquid lipsticks have been around since the start and are a wonderful product to spend your moolah on. They may have limited shades but if you find a shade you love, I would suggest you grab it immediately.
9) Sephora brushes and tools
Yet another feather in Sephora's hat is their line of makeup brushes and tools. Some of the best brushes I own, if you're looking to start off your brush collection, this is a good place to start. For me, an ideal start up kit would consist of an eye shadow blending brush, an eye liner brush, a contour brush, a fan brush and a fluffy powder brush! When you walk into the Sephora store, the brushes are neatly arranged by categories in a corner making it exceptionally easy for you to grab what you need! Not only the brushes, Sephora also carries make up removers, make up brush cleansing sprays, tweezers and other such additional aides.
10) Exclusive Launches & Other Brands
Sephora is home to some of the best make up brands like Dior, Lancome, Estee Lauder and the likes and several of these beloved brands very often launch exclusive products with Sephora. So if you're a ardent fan of make up and love grabbing limited edition products, Sephora is the place to be! Sephora also stocks exclusive brands like Soap & Glory, Burts Bees, etc. which cannot be found anywhere else in India.
They are also all set to bring Becca Cosmetics, Urban Decay, Tarte and other internationally loved make up brands to the Indian Sephora's later this year! I am super excited to see the progress from here on and see the new launches! I hope this post helped you guys and the next time you visit a Sephora, you walk out with exactly what you were looking for.

Watch out for travel insurance small print
With many travellers having suffered from issues relating to the Icelandic Volcano and British Airways strikes, specialist travel insurance provider, P J Hayman (the company behind 24/7 travel insurance) warns people to look out for other types of small print in travel insurance policies as it could cost them dearly.
Peter Hayman, director at P J Hayman elaborates: "While cheap travel insurance often seems like an attractive deal and a good way to keep costs down on your holiday, many budget providers use loopholes or incomplete cover to offer cheap deals. We suggest that people don't simply buy the cheapest travel insurance policy unless they fully understand what they are buying. In this market, if the price looks too good to be true, it probably is!"
1. No cover for pre-existing medical conditions
Some cheaper policies provide no cover if the individual (or anyone who has an effect on their travel plans) has a pre-existing medical condition which results in a claim, for example, cancellation or medical expenses due to a recurrence of a heart condition.
2. Policies with very specific exclusions
Some insurers, in an attempt to get premiums to the absolute lowest level, use a strategy of harsh exclusions which inevitably trap people at the claims stage. Examples include very strict interpretation of unattended personal effects, valuables and money as well as a requirement to get a written police report, even though these are often difficult to get in many countries.
3. Selling policies with low levels of coverBudget covers often have very low limits for elements such as baggage, money and delay – indeed some do not even cover these sections.
4. Selling policies with very high excesses
The higher the policy excess the lower the premium can be. This is not always obvious with travel insurance until a medical claim is made and the customer finds most, if not all, of their claim falls within the excess. There are now policies on the market with medical excesses as high as £400.
5. Confusing exclusions
For example, an exclusion which applies to a "set of circumstances that could be reasonably expected to give rise to a claim". In this instance, 'reasonable' is vaguely defined and open to interpretation from the insurance company who ultimately process the claim.
6. Deductions for wear and tear on baggage claims
Household insurance typically provides 'new for old' cover. Many travel insurance policies do not, which means the claim will be reduced depending on the age of the lost, stolen or damaged item.
7. Excesses per person per section rather than per event
This means that an event such as a mugging could result in a large number of different excesses being deducted. For example: medical costs of £450 with a £75 medical excess, damage to clothing and loss of personal effects amounting to £250 with a £50 excess, loss of money equivalent to £120 with a £50 excess, resulting in total excesses for the claim of £175 rather than £75 on an 'event' basis.
8. Missed connections
If an individual is delayed getting to the airport and as a consequence misses their connection, many policies will not cover the additional costs that result, such as additional ticket costs or even an unplanned overnight stay.
9. Breaking down on the way to the airportIt is often assumed that travel insurance provides cover for additional costs if the policy holder misses their flight due to their car breaking down on the way to the airport. However, some cheaper policies will only cover the breakdown of 'public transport', and not private vehicles.
10. Close relatives
The definition of 'close' is fairly ill-defined, so while you may think that all of your relatives are 'close,' if you study the definitions you may find that many policies limit these. So your favourite uncle becoming ill just before you go on holiday may result in a declined claim for cancellation.

McCartney left after 1 month. Lennon and Harrison spent six week in the ashram.
The Ashram is now part of the Rajaji National Park. Maharishi Mahesh Yogi obtained 15 acres of land on lease for 20 years. The ashram was still running until 2000 even after the expiry of lease. In 2003 it was officially closed after the supreme court order. There were more than 80 cottage type rooms. Currently nobody is living in the ashram apart from few forest guards.

another one bites the dust
1. I chewed about 57 pieces of Trident White gum today. The Cool Colada flavor, if you're interested. I know that I'm prone to hyperbole but I am definitely being serious. It comes with 60 but I was kind enough to offer a few to my colleagues. Why did I do that? because it comes in a huge container and I just kept shoving pieces in my mouth and spitting them out until I look into the container and BAM they're all gone. I can imagine that my stomach is not going to be pleased with the sorbitol overload. Also, my jaw really hurts. (I can hear the snickering from the peanut gallery. Shut it.)
2. Remember Guest Blog Tuesday? That was fun. Could we try that again? If you have any stories, even if they're only mildly interesting, please send them along! I'd love to read/post them.
3. My favorite word today is kerfuffle. No reason. It just is. Discuss.
4. The Kells is closing. For those of you who don't know, the Kells was/is basically the most obnoxious bar in all of AllBright. All of us BU kids went there to do one or more of the following: lose our dignity, play in the weekly beer pong tournaments, wear a toga or almost be sexually assaulted on the way to the bathroom. My fondest memory will always be the concussion I received there. I was leaning over to pick up a ping pong ball, and on the way up the bar must have moved because I slammed my head so hard that I could actually feel and hear my brain vibrating inside my skull. Always a champ, I didn't stop playing, or drinking. Goonies never say die! RIP The Kells, may the Tavern on the Square replacement serve as a place for all Allston/Brighton kids to get a piece of ass at 1:50 AM on a Saturday night.

Can't use 'kerfuffle'. Just too girly a word, doesn't feel right coming out of my mouth.
Pity to hear a 'destination' bar is closing. Especially one where you received a concussion. Think they'd let you come in and chainsaw out the chunk of bar that did it, for posterity?

oh it's not THAT girly. i bet you could use it once today. come on, give it a shot.
and a chainsaw to the bar may not be such a bad idea...

Haha I'm trying to think of any good dating stories I have. Let me know what the expectations are!

Oh bummer about your favorite bar. I hate it when they close down. Hope you find a new spot soon!

rebecca- no expectations at all really. give a look to the "guest blog" tag to see what sorts of entries i've posted. i'd love if you submitted something! :)
date girl - ohhh definitely not my favorite bar at all. we all hated that place in college. it was the type of bar that you couldn't go to unless you had aggressively pregamed beforehand haha

We live in a world where certain things radically differ from what it appears to be. With time, a woman has become an enigma who is decoded by the perceptions and acuity of everyone rather than herself. Being a woman is a blessing in disguise. Here are some ironies of being a woman:
Greatest ironies of being a woman #1 Inconsistency of Ideals
Since childhood, girls are molded in such a manner that enhances their femininity. Reminiscing of the times when a little girl is handed over a pink color doll and a boy is given a blue color robot to play with, signifies the disparities between valor and gentleness.
Greatest ironies of being a woman #2 Duality of reality
One of the greatest ironies of being a woman is their exemption from entering into a temple when she is going through her 'special' days of the month. Such a situation reminds me of liberty that a man attains, despite, him being a rapist, deprave or a molester.
Greatest ironies of being a woman #3 Woman as a non-conformist
Another greatest irony in which a woman lives is that she is a rebellion if she chooses to live her life the way she wants. A simple example would be if a woman considers a boy as her friend. Then, she is given so many titles that even she gets confused as to in which world I live.
Greatest ironies of being a woman #4 Unveiling of a different angle
There are many ways in which woman is presented by the media. Despite, focusing on the evils of the society that are taking the life of it, the media focuses on the way a successful model or an actress faces a wardrobe malfunction that reveals her assets to the best.
Greatest ironies of being a woman #5 Journey from boundation to freedom
A woman travels a long distance from slavery to freedom. After realizing that she is subjected to a different kind of physical or mental violation, she becomes a slave of her own delusion and fantasies. She expects help from outside rather than helping herself. Isn't it one of the biggest ironies of being a woman?
Women are now painting their own future where they are trying to create enough space for maintaining their individuality. Ultimately, a woman through her experiences of life learns to rebuild the fallen parts of her into an integrated whole.
