Kitchen Remodeling in Austin Texas
Are you having a hard time thinking of what to choose for your kitchen design in Austin, Tx. You might have already seen different kitchen designs from several websites and magazines. The thing is you're not sure yet what designs to implement. You know that you should get started as soon as possible because you can't wait for your new kitchen to materialize.
To help you choose the design appropriate for your new kitchen, you should consider the following tips:
- Talk to contractors and designers about proper estimates.
- Ask yourself if you need a bigger kitchen.
- Know your own needs to determine which space to maximize and what items to use.
- Talk to your acquaintances about their experiences in kitchen design and construction.
ATX Remodeling Pros Can Help | Call Today – (512) 253-4386
It's important that you know some estimates about the plans you have in your mind. Maybe the designs you have in mind require more resources than you have right now. It's great to know which of your ideas are suited to your budget so that you'll be sure to have your dream kitchen come into reality.
It's hard to figure out all the expenses on your own. Each design requires a different range of expenses. You have to know which one of your designs is the most practical for your budget and for your needs. It's important that you ask the experts about how much you will spend for the particular designs you have in mind. This way, you won't get surprised on the unexpected expenses (far above than what you computed on yourself) during the construction of your kitchen.
Ask yourself if you need a bigger kitchen
If you need a bigger kitchen, you should get prepared on more expenses. With the designs you have in mind, you should figure out if those require more space. If the walls of your old kitchen need to be demolished and rebuilt, you should prepare a bigger budget for your kitchen.
It's important that you know if the kitchen designs you have in mind require more space than what your kitchen has right now. With a bigger kitchen usually comes a bigger budget. It will require more materials for the construction of walls and floors. It can also require more time to finish.
Know your own needs to determine which space to maximize and what items to buy
Do you always wish you had more space for your cooking? Do you think that you just need little space for your cabinets and storage?
You should answer those two questions yourself. Homeowners have different needs based on what they do in their kitchens. Some want to have a large space for storage while others want just enough. You have to know which space you want to be bigger or smaller. This way, the other available spaces can be used for your other needs.
If you know which space needs to be bigger or smaller, it can help you make decisions on what items to buy for your kitchen. For example, you might need to buy bigger kitchen cabinets because you have a large storage requirement. You might need to get custom kitchen cabinets because you already have specific dimensions for your storage space.

Talk to your acquaintances about their experiences in kitchen design and construction
It's refreshing to talk to other people about the plans you have for your kitchen. Instead of reading all the tips and figuring it all on your own, you can just ask and from others' experiences, you can get some applicable ideas.
From your friends and relatives, you can pick up a few valuable tips to help you choose the design for your kitchen. You can also take the chance to visit their kitchens and get more ideas. This way, you will have a much clearer plan for your kitchen. You can pick up some details that you missed while you're looking at the different kitchen designs.
It's not an easy task to choose a design for your kitchen. It's important that the design be within your budget. It's also important that the space is determined for the whole kitchen and its items. Another thing is that you should also hear some real world experience about your kitchen design in Austin TX.

Waitsfield grades one and two teacher Tom Young will participate in another global learning experience, the Maverick Teachers Global Summit in Kuppam, India. The NEA Foundation announced that Young, a 2013 Global Learning Fellow, was selected through a competitive process.
Over the past six years, the NEA Foundation's Global Learning Fellowship has provided 190 educators, including Young, with a yearlong professional development opportunity to lead the profession by acquiring the necessary skills to integrate global competence into their daily classroom instruction, advance pedagogy in their schools and districts, prepare students to thrive in the flattened global age and, thus, contribute to the closing of the global achievement gap.
Young has used knowledge gained from this fellowship to change how he teaches and engages students with the wider world. He created a globally minded lesson plan that has been shared with other educators in his school and online. As part of the fellowship, Young traveled with educators from around the U.S. to Brazil, where they exchanged ideas and practices with local educators.
For many educators, the NEA Foundation's Global Learning Fellowship is the beginning of a learning journey that continues in a variety of ways. This summer, Young joins 35 other teachers from around the world in participating in the Maverick Teachers Global Summit.
At the Summit, Young will spend July 17 through 24 with a select group of educators and experts discussing "pedagogies for the future to support education for a sustainable world," according to host Agastya International Foundation. Agastya aims to revitalize and transform education in India and to provide an affordable model that can be replicated anywhere in the world.
Together these educators and thinkers will combine their knowledge and expertise to develop ideas that will help underprivileged students in India as well as their students back home.

text: olympics Dartmouth has Strong Showing for Olympics in PyeongChang By Britta Greene • Feb 6, 2018 Dennis Curran / Courtesy of Dartmouth College Dartmouth College will have a strong presence at this year's winter Olympic Games, opening Friday in PyeongChang, South Korea. Fifteen former or current students will be competing – a high tally, even for a school that's regularly represented in the winter events. 1.09.17: Rio After the Olympics & 2017 in Video Games By Word of Mouth • Jan 9, 2017 Adriano Ferreira via Flickr CC / https://flic.kr/p/BApGpJ Despite dire predictions, Rio pulled off the Olympics. Now the party's over and the country is broke . Today, did Rio deliver on its promise to Brazilians? Then, the holidays are behind us, which in New England means we're staring down the barrel of several uninterrupted cold, dark, and snowy months. Perfect weather for curling up at home with a good book, TV show or...video game? We'll get a preview of what's on the horizon for this year's most anticipated video games. 8.16.16: Why American Internet is So Slow, Love Me Podcast, & the Right Mindset for Achieving Goals By Word of Mouth • Aug 16, 2016 Blaise Alleyne via Flickr CC / https://flic.kr/p/54QttY Want to guess how America's internet speed stack up to the rest of the world? Not even top 20... That means below Mongolia, Slovenia and dozens of other countries.Today, find out why the leader of the free world lags so far behind in fast -and affordable - access. Plus, love is complicated. Most people can agree that they want love in their life, but we are messy, imperfect beings and a lot of ways to get it wrong. From sibling resentments to misguided crushes to good old self delusion, one podcast is jumping in to take a closer look at love in all its forms. 8.15.16: Athlete Activism, the Race to the North Pole, & the Rise of the Sufferfests By Word of Mouth • Aug 15, 2016 Ben Beltran via Flickr CC / https://flic.kr/p/7uuhG8 In the 1968 Olympic games, American sprinters Tommie Smith and John Carlos stood on the medal stand - with the eyes of the world upon them - and raised their fists to the sky. Today, John Carlos talks about athletic activism today and the force of that protest nearly fifty years ago. Plus, the multi-million dollar industry of suffering. A filmmaker explores why people pay money to grind through obstacle courses races through mud, icy ponds and electric shocks? Are we primitive beings taking flight from desk jobs? Or does running through fire just make for a better Facebook post? 8.8.16: Where the Olympics Should Be Hosted, the Classism of Minimalism, & Overlooked Books By Word of Mouth • Aug 8, 2016 PROJohn Carleton via Flickr CC / https://flic.kr/p/9MsoA9 The games have begun - the disastrous lead-up to the Rio Olympics has been overtaken by the spectacle of competition. Still, economists agree: hosting the games is a costly and complicated affair. Today, we'll hear a thought experiment turned innovative solution: why not host the games in multiple cities at once? Also today, the dog days of summer are suddenly getting shorter. As we near mid-August, perhaps you're nearing the end of your summer reading list. If you're looking for new titles to bring to the beach...we've got you covered. 8.4.16: Inside the World of Olympic Archery, Flossing Benefis are Murky, & Overheard By Word of Mouth • Aug 4, 2016 Jonathan Yeap via flickr Creative Commons / https://flic.kr/p/8tqUkG By the time the 2016 Olympic opening ceremony kicks off in Rio, ranking rounds for one of the fastest growing sports will already have taken place--archery, not known for its high drama. On today's show, Zen and the art of Olympic archery. Then, a few days ago the AP news service blew the top off of a story that's been brewing for a while now. Despite what decades worth of guilt and dental advice might make you think, flossing might not actually be doing much for those pearly whites. And for this month's edition of Overheard, we invited NHPR reporter Emily Corwin and Senior Editor for Politics and Public Policy, Dan Barrick to share what they're listening to. 8.2.16: How to Talk About Politics, Failed Olympic Bids, & The Father of Extreme Skiing By Word of Mouth • Aug 2, 2016 Ryan McGuire / http://gratisography.com/ Emily Post said: "Never talk about politics or religion." But with candidates so divisive, and voters so impassioned, it's tough to follow that particular bit of advice. On today's show, a polite guide to political conversation. First tip? Know what you're trying to accomplish. Later in the show, we'll look at why Chicago is still paying for its failed bid to host the 2016 Olympics, and talk to the author of a new book who traced the tracks of extreme skier Doug Coombs, from earning his chops on New Hampshire's slopes to his tragic death on a mountain in France. 7.07.16: Defining Gender at the Olympics, STDs Are Back, & 10-Minute Writer's Workshop By Word of Mouth • Jul 7, 2016 Shawn Carpenter via Flickr CC / https://flic.kr/p/89a25N Concepts of gender are shifting in workplaces, schools and public bathrooms across America. But how about on the track, or court or pool where athletes compete as male or female? Today, how new Olympics guidelines define gender, and a fair fight.

Boosters foresee economic growth, while opponents warn of logistical and financial nightmares. Meanwhile, Granite Staters are wondering what's in it for them. GUESTS: 6.02.14: Ghost Towns By Word of Mouth • Jun 2, 2014 Sean Hurley From the dusty towns of the old west, to the empty mills of the east, there's just something about abandoned places and the stories they leave behind. Today's Word of Mouth is all about ghost towns, from neglected Olympic villages to forgotten websites. Plus, the story of a couple who transformed an abandoned underground missile base into their home-sweet-home…complete with an overhead front door.

Ski Jumper Christopher Lamb Vying For A Spot On The U.S. Olympic Team By Virginia Prescott • Oct 29, 2013 Photo courtesy Christopher Lamb The 2014 winter Olympics begin on February seventh in Sochi, Russia. Until this week, talk about the games focused on worries that there might not be enough snow, and international criticism and threats to boycott the games because of Russia's law banning what it called "homosexual propaganda." On Monday, President Vladimir Putin reversed course and said that everyone will be welcome to Sochi. As to the snow, there are no certain answers.

California, Los Angeles County Golf Course Reviews
Los Angeles County is fairly large and since there is literally no golf course in the city in which I reside, I tend to get around. The center of LA is characterized by cheap golf courses and the 5+ hour round or private clubs, most of which I have not touched. So, my golf tends to radiate into the outer suberbs, including the San Fernando valley and beyond. The only problem with my golf course reviews in this area of Los Angeles is that, currently, I have played a lot of these golf courses once or twice awhile ago, and when I travel 15 minutes to play a course or decide to play last minute, the camera tends to get left behind, so the golf course reviews aren't as visual as many other areas.

At Bitterne there is a strong heritage of outward-facing mission and development work, as well as supporting our own community.
Next course beings in January 2019. Wednesday evenings 7.00pm beginning 16th January in the Church Room (attached to Holy Saviour Church, Bitterne ). Alpha is a fantastic series of informal sessions, to help you explore and discover the Christian faith, or as a refresher. Alpha explores questions like these - Who is Jesus? Why did he die? Can I know God in a personal way? How do I pray? It includes food, a talk and discussion, with plenty of time for you to ask any questions. Interested - email Sue & Ian Wilkinson at the Bitterne Parish Office - firstname.lastname@example.com
Seniors' Tea
2nd Wednesday in March, June, September and December 2.30pm – 4.30pm, in the Parish Hall. We serve a traditional afternoon tea, usually with some form of entertainment, but really the afternoon is all about being able to get out and have a chat with other people. Lifts are available if you need help with transport and if you would like to know more, just contact us (via the office) and we'll be happy to answer your questions.
A great introduction to Christianity and how it can be relevant to us today in our life and work.
As a church we believe it is important to look outwards - beyond the church, into the local community and across the world.
We support a number of Mission Organisations with prayer, publicity and financial support.
This is monitored and championed by our World Church Action Group.
You can find their displays at the back of church and in the church room.
Since 1986, Bitterne has had a unique partnership with the parishes of Namalemba and Bumoozi
in Eastern Uganda and there have been many visits in both directions.
As a church we aim to support their Christian faith, health and education.
This picture was taken on the last visit, in 2013, at Namalemba Nursery School

text: A good-time memoir of life on the fringes of the New York mob, by the widow of a crony of Meyer Lansky's. Sadowsky was a teenager from Brooklyn when, in 1959, she was introduced to Bernie Barton, the live-wire owner of a nightclub called The Velvet Room. Despite a 20-year age difference and rumors of Barton's past jail sentences and gangster connections, soon Sadowsky was seeing Barton every night. Their life together reads like a travelogue: a jaunt up to Harlem, where Barton ran a numbers joint; an appointment with his parole officer, who had to approve their wedding; a consultation with Barton's Spanish Harlem-based Santeria priest, who snorted cocaine, decapitated chickens, and gave business advice. Sadowsky and Barton delivered a suitcase of bearer bonds to Vatican bankers and spent a winter in Miami hanging out with the revered Lansky. They started a storefront ministry in Harlem, complete with a charismatic ``preacher,'' and made good money until the preacher got unruly. They went to the Ivory Coast, trying to set up a trade deal, but ended up getting thrown out of the country. Shortly after their son was born, Barton died of heart disease. After a period of mourning, Sadowsky got involved in several of his businesses, then endured a disastrous marriage to Chalky Lefkowitz, Barton's childhood best friend. Little Goodfellas-like ugliness mars Sadowsky's gangland spin, told with the help of novelist Gilmour (So Long, Daddy, 1983). Drug use, murder, jail sentences, money worries, and infidelity are glossed over in favor of clothes, parties, and criminal buddies with cute names like ``Hot Dog.'' A lively and engaging string of benign adventures, then, with none of the harsh bite of violent reality.

Article Title
Genaro v. Central Transport: a New Direction in Ohio Law Regarding Employment Discrimination
Part I of this Note will examine the Genaro decision in depth, focusing on the Ohio Supreme Court's reasoning. The court looked at the language of Ohio Revised Code Chapter 4112, specifically the use of the word "agent" as support for its imposition of individual liability. In addition, Part II will also examine the the policy goals the Ohio Supreme Court has attempted to achieve. Finally, Part II will also demonstrate that the Genaro decision is a poor one, one which was not legislatively intended, one that imposes an undue burden on individuals without a corresponding increase in benefit to plaintiffs and one that was unnecessary, given the protections to plaintiffs which already exist through vicarious liability and other causes of action.

Oberlin, Ohio- The Wittenberg University men's and women's swimming & diving teams combined for a 2-2 record on Saturday (11/17) afternoon in an NCAC double-dual meet against Oberlin and Wooster at Oberlin College's recently renovated Carr Pool. Both teams picked up close victories over host Oberlin, with the men securing a 132-110 victory over the Yeomen and the women picking up a 139-117 win over the Yeowomen. However, the College of Wooster dominated the afternoon in the pool, earning a 208-70 win over Wittenberg in the men's competition and a 203-76 triumph over the women's squad.
On the women's side, Wittenberg accumulated seven top-three finishes on the afternoon, led by junior Marita Banta-Long crushing the six-swimmer field in the 200 fly with a winning time of 2:21.60. Her winning time was six seconds faster than the second-place finisher from Wooster. Freshman Abigail Dunaksy continued her success on the season in the distance freestyle events, finishing second in the 500 with a time of 5:33.83 and third overall in the 1,000 free after stopping the clock with a time of 11:28.62. Sophomore diver Kateleigh Lorimer also collected a pair of second-place showings in the diving events for the Tigers, accumulating 160.90 points on the one-meter board and 142.40 points in the three-meter competition. The Tigers also finished in the top-three in both relay events on the afternoon, starting with the team of freshman Jessica Crowder, junior Annelise Gibson, Banta-Long and junior Claire Bergefurd finishing second overall in the 400 medley relay with a time of 3:51.64. The women's squad then put a bow on the meet with the team of Bergefurd, Crowder, Dunasky and Banta-Long finishing third overall in the 400 free relay with a time of 3:58.58.
In the men's meet, Wittenberg combined for 10 top-three event finishes, highlighted by sophomore Trey Gregory outpacing the field in the 200 fly with a winning time of 1:58.57. Gregory was also the runner-up in the 100 fly race after reaching the wall with a time of 52.49. Junior Bradley Barren picked up a pair of second-place finishes in the sprint freestyle events, posting a time of 22.32 in the 50 and stopping the clock at 49.74 in the 100. Three additional freshmen athletes earned second-place showings in individual events, including Noah Curry in the 200 free (1:50.29), Noah Miller in the one-meter diving competition with 180.95 points and Anthony Petruzzi in the 500 free with a time of 5:06.74. Junior Nick Angeli also cracked the top-three in an individual event by finishing third overall in the 1,000 free with a time of 11:03.28. In the relays, the Tigers opened the meet with a third-place showing in the 400 medley, as the team of sophomore Connor Flanagan, freshman Benjamin Hongell, Gregory and Barren combined for a time of 3:42.85, while the grouping of Petruzzi, Hongell, Barren and Gregory finished second overall in the 400 free relay to close out the meet with a time of 3:23.64.
"It is great to see the team members working on the things that will help to make them faster in the end. While not every swim was a season best, as a group they are improving." said interim head coach Noah Moran. "We had good swims from all of the athletes considering where we are training over the last two days and some real recognition of smart swimming races."
The Wittenberg swimmers and divers will now take a week off for the Thanksgiving Holiday, before returning to the pool on the first weekend of December for the annual Transylvania Invitational, held at the University of Kentucky, in Lexington, KY, December 1-2.

It has been a few weeks since I watched the World Cup final between Argentina and Germany at some ridiculous o'clock hour at a random smokey bar with some coworkers in Dubai. While I was hoping for an Argentina win, Germany played a very good game. I also had the privilege to watch them clean up Brazil on their journey while surrounded by Germans.
Better than the game they played was one of the stories that came out after the event was over. Mesut Ozil, one of the players on the German team made a donation to pay for the surgery of some needy children in Brazil. Before the event started, he payed for the surgery of 11 children. After Germany won, ESPN reported that he increased the number to 23. The previous 11 represented the number of players, but 23 was the number of the entire team.
Mesut Ozil is not a very German name. It is obviously Turkish. Previous articles I read said he is a second generation Turk who was born in Germany. While he may be a rare case of extreme financial and athletic success in any class, his family at one time were migrant workers. In a time where one of the consistent headlines in many countries is how to close the border to keep foreigners out, I wonder what would have happened if Germany kept out Ozil's grandparents.
Reading this story, I can't help but wonder who will be the next Mesut Ozil. Will he or she play football, get a university degree under extreme circumstances, find a cure for cancer, foster world peace....
Just maybe some of our much needed resolutions will come from the offspring of a refugee that has fled a war torn country, or from someone that has moved somewhere else for a better life. There was a time when a list of the most famous refugees circulated the internet and there you saw Madeline Albright, Albert Einstein and others on the list.
Twenty-three. It might be a small number, but for those children and their families, it's a huge deal.

Learning to Ride
My son rode a bike for the first time without the training wheels yesterday. Knowing him well, I asked my mother-in-law to have her neighbor remove the extra wheels before we arrived to her summer home in the rural Marmara region of Turkey.
I am not one of those pushy parents that drives their kids to do things before they are ready - actually quite the opposite as I feel kids are under so much pressure to achieve at such a young age in the modern world. However, I have realized that as a parent, sometimes we need to insist to encourage them to realize their potential as they grow. Or this is just a big assumption on my part that will result in an epic fail.
Living in Dubai our children have access to many great things, but sometimes the simple things like riding a bicycle through the neighborhood is not so convenient. There are a few cookie-cutter neighborhoods where it is possible, and there is an amazing bicycle track but you have to drive to get there. It is not always easy to just go outside and hop on your bike. This is the make up of the city and the weather is not always great in the summer months.
The first day without the wheels, he refused. He wanted the bicycle the 4-year old across the street was using. Unknown to him, she has the training wheels from his bike. The second day he was still not pleased with the situation. The third day, with a little help to start, he was riding almost immediately.
I am forever amazed at the stories I read about diabetic children. They take many needles every day - pricks to check blood sugar, long needles to insert catheters if they use an insulin pump, or several injections every day if they don't pump. Not to mention the blood draws from veins for regular check ups that are so hard to find on small children. - All much more difficult than riding a bike for sure.
I have learned a lot as a parent, and maybe even a bit more as the parent of a diabetic child. This week's lesson learned: You are always stronger than you think. Most likely, your fear to try something new is a small drop in the bucket compared what you've already accomplished or endured.

Sassi Bianchi, Italy
|Sassi Bianchi's vineyard overlooking the lavender field
For the last few years, we've been talking about going to Tuscany with friends. We decided enough talking, and this year we went. We stayed at Sassi Bianchi, a 40-hectar farm hidden in the hills of Tuscany. Owned and managed by Concetta and Palo, the 16th century farm houses are in great condition, and you can feel all their efforts to keep the place quaint and functional. On most mornings you can see Palo working on the farm somewhere.
Sassi Bianchi is beautiful and full of life. I loved the over dose of oxygen and exploring the property with the smell of lavender in the air. Our large, communal family breakfasts were a great start to the day, and we enjoyed closing the day at the same large table after visiting the nearby towns and villages as the kids played outside catching fireflies.
Sassi Bianchi is one of those places that I definitely hope to return to - frequently!
|Many meals, bottles of wine and laughter were shared here

|The lavender was beautiful and the number of butterflies and bees it attracted were amazing.
They even make their own lavender honey.
|The duck pond at Sassi Bianchi
|Nature and wildflowers everywhere!

Sony Mobile Communications
Hallo again from Berlin!
So yesterday we gave you a look at the WATCH section of the Sony stand, today we headed into the LISTEN section to see what audio goodness we had in store for you there. Being Saturday it is pretty mental out on the floor, but we managed to fight through the crowds to get a few little gems for you!
Sony has always been big in the audio space, I personally remember the first walkman (yes – I am that old!!) and saving up to buy my first Sony stereo, so it was great for me to go and play with all the latest gear.
There is a huge array of products, from big boom boxes and TV sound bars to Hi-Fi systems and stand alone speakers, but being Sony Mobile, we'll focus on mobile related tech and a couple of things stood out that we want to share with you.
We gave you a look at the new Sony Walkman App the other day, which is pretty awesome in itself, but when teamed with some of the cool new accessories on show it can really be the hub of your musical experience.
Built-in to our new phones is NFC technology, which allows you transfer information and connect to other devices with a simple touch. Sony has worked with this technology to develop One-Touch, making pairing devices a simple and effortless task. Simply touch the different devices together and they are paired. Check out the video above to see it in action!
Sony has released a couple of products in this range, the small and portable Wireless speaker SRS-BTV5 we introduced you to on Thursday, The larger Wireless speaker BTM 8B and also some cool new wireless bluetooth headphones MDR-1DBT – all of which will connect to your phone simply by touching them together – very cool stuff! No more fumbling around in menus and entering codes to get things to work together. This is technology as it should be – simple!
And what to listen to? We also released a free 60 day trial for Music Unlimited – get access to millions of tracks, for free, for two months – what are you waiting for??

10 Steps to House Hunting with a Well-trained Eye
Written by: Lankarge/Nahorney for HomeInsight
It sounds like a great listing - in your price range - in a good neighborhood - with features you're looking for. First impressions mean a lot - but you find the bushes are overgrown, the front hallway is covered with tacky foil wallpaper, the kitchen cabinets are painted dark brown, the living room rug smells musty, and the hardwood floors have black water marks on them.
Should you head back out the door? Maybe. But to fully determine whether you should cross this house off of your list you'll need to gather more information and perhaps look past the blemishes to get a full picture of this house's potential. How do you do that? Follow these 10 steps.
Keep them StraightLooking at a bunch of houses? With digital photography making it easy and inexpensive to record images, be sure to take a digital camera along, first taking a picture of the listing sheet so you can remember which pictures go with which home, and then key elements of each home.
Also, make a checklist before you visit the first house so that you can keep each of them straight. Here is a list of items you'll want to include (rank each as either excellent, good, fair, needs repair soon, needs repair now).
Then customize the list with your own "must haves," for example, fireplace, master bath, walk-in closet, two (or three) car garage, dining room, open floor plan, eat-in kitchen, screened-in porch, large (or small) yard.
1. Start with emotion, but end with facts. Buying a home is an emotional process. You often find yourself trying to determine if this is where you want to spend the next 10, 20, or 30 years of your life (and perhaps raise a family). It's OK if your initial impression is an emotional one. But because the purchase can be the largest you'll ever make, you need to make sure you gather all of the facts you need to make an educated decision. View homes for sale and find out what homes are selling for by clicking here.
2. Look for good bones. Don't get hooked on the decorating. The town or towns you are targeting for your home search likely have a handful of builders who have built a majority of the homes. Get to know the reputation of these builders. Then, before going to look at a home, find out who the builder was. You'll want to be careful when looking at homes built by those with less than stellar reputations.
Then you need to learn to look past the furniture, wall colors, window treatments, and other decorating, and just look at the home layout and flow. New cherry cabinets and granite counters matter little if they are in the galley kitchen and you have a family of five. At the same time a family room with black walls featuring a mural of the moon on one side also matters little if it is big enough for your needs. Aesthetics are relatively inexpensive to fix - major construction is another matter.
3. When looking at room layout, avoid corner doors. Rooms with doorways in the middle of walls flow better than rooms that open in a corner. Remember that when looking for your dream home.
4. Make sure the most expensive stuff works. The two most expensive rooms in a home to renovate are kitchens and bathrooms. If you're stretching to be able to afford a home and still eat, make sure these two rooms don't need renovating anytime soon.
5. Take an inventory of features, what you like and what needs fixing. Good news: With more houses on the market than in the past several years, you'll likely be able to look at more houses before making a decision to put in a bid. Bad news: That means it can get quite confusing to remember the details of each home you look at. Develop a list and for each home you visit, take note of features, things you like, and things that might need fixing (see Keep Them Straight sidebar, above). Click here to find out about features of properties for sale.
6. Is there room for expansion? You might not be concerned with adding onto the home you're looking today, but what about tomorrow? Don't necessarily exclude those additions that don't have room and a logical place to expand, but do understand that you will be limited in your options down the road.
7. Does the basement leak? If you've been lucky enough to live in a house with a dry basement (or perhaps without a basement) it's hard to imagine the havoc a wet basement can bring to your life. If you've ever lived in a house with a leaky basement or hate the thought of a foot of water surrounding your furnace, you'll likely be sure to check that either the basement doesn't leak or it has a system that automatically removes water.
8. What's the condition of the home's exterior? Does it need painting, or is it sided? Does it have painted brick that's peeling? Is the aluminum siding chalking? Improving the exterior can be costly. Check the exterior walls carefully before putting in a bid.
9. Landscaping: Does it look like a park or a landfill? Landscaping not only includes the grass, bushes and any gardens, but also the hardscaping - the sidewalk, deck and/or patio. People are spending more time than ever outdoors and you're likely no different. Landscaping improvements can be costly, but is one area in which homeowners often tackle projects themselves. If you have the time, energy, and expertise you can save money by doing some landscaping improvements. But costs can add up here - be sure to factor that into your decision and/or bid.
10. Check the zoning, nobody likes surprises. Too often homeowners are horrified to learn that their tranquil neighborhood is being invaded by multifamily housing, a big commercial business, or a 24-hour convenience store. Before you put a bid on a house go the town hall, city hall, or county register of records and find out the zoning of all contiguous properties.

Time for another round of (relatively) short answer questions. I bet you can guess which question I get asked all the time.
Q. I want to include both the unity candle and a bell of truce in my wedding. Is that possible or do I have to pick one or the other?
A. You can certainly include both! The unity candle is a ritual symbolizing the coming together of two individuals in a partnership. The bell of truce is a reconciliation ritual providing the couple with a repair attempt they can use later in their marriage when they experience conflict. These two rituals work quite well together within a wedding because they convey quite different meanings.
Q: What are some of the easiest ways to save money when planning a wedding?
A: I am not a wedding planner so this is not my area of expertise. Oddly enough, hiring a budget conscious wedding planner can actually help you save money. They can help you prioritize the must-have, want-to-have, and can-do-without. Here are a few tried and true cost-saving measures though.
1) Make a budget and record every dime you spend to make sure you don't blow it.
2) Schedule your wedding during an off peak season, day and time.
3) Cut your guest list.
Q: My fiance and I are not drinkers and would prefer a dry wedding. He's an EMT and has seen too many bad examples of what alcohol can do. We're getting a lot of pressure from friends and family. Are we obligated to serve alcohol at our wedding?
A: Absolutely not! The bride and groom should be able to choose the refreshments served at their own wedding.
Alcohol has come to be associated with celebrations, almost expected in many cases, but it is by no means a requirement. You are no less gracious as hosts for having a dry wedding. Your friends and family should care enough to celebrate with you on your special day and not worry about whether or not they are going to get to drink alcohol at the same time. They are wrong to pressure you into doing something that goes against your values and convictions.
Q. My dad wants to say a few words during the ceremony, but I think that would be more appropriate at the reception. What do you think?
A. Tricky one! I think it all depends upon what your father wishes to contribute to your wedding. If he would like to say a prayer, offer a blessing, read a poem or something he has prepared in writing, it can be a very lovely touch. I do try to steer people away from including extemporaneous speaking during a wedding for a few reasons.
1) Even the most accomplished speakers can ramble when overcome with emotion. I have seen it lead to awkward moments and disturb the rhythm of the wedding as a ritual.
2) If you and your officiant have created a thematic flow to your ceremony, an extemporaneous speaker can interrupt that by including concepts you may not wish to emphasize at that moment.
3) You hit on a very good point. I have seen many speakers during weddings express sentiments that seem more appropriate as a toast.
This is going to be a delicate negotiation because of the father daughter relationship. You don't want to hurt his feelings, but you also want him to understand what would make you the happiest on your wedding day. I would suggest you follow your instincts. Make sure he knows his contributions are truly welcome, but that you would prefer he take center stage at another moment during the festivities.

If you are wondering what the hottest trend is with respect to wedding rituals in the English speaking world, look no further than the Wedding Time Capsule. This is extremely popular in the United Kingdom and Australia and spreading rapidly in Canada and the United States.
The time capsule is not just for saving cherished keepsakes from the wedding day anymore. Couples are creating new and fun rituals for filling and sealing time capsules during their ceremony!
In my opinion, the ritual really should be personalized for each and every couple. It lends itself well to capturing who the couple are, their regard for one another and their hopes and dreams for their marriage. I included examples of a time capsule ritual in each of these two previous blog posts linked below. But it is so delightfully flexible, I would hate to convey the impression the examples are standard or even representative. I am always happy to help colleagues or couples write a unique time capsule ritual, you need only ask.
Wedding Time Capsule: Part I Wedding Time Capsule: Part II
I wish I had made a time capsule when I was married. Not just as a ritual in the ceremony, but as an organized collection of mementos from my wedding. The odds and ends from my wedding day are long since scattered. Many of the things I would love to show my children and wish I had kept most likely do not exist anymore!
What are some of the things you can include in a time capsule? Well, anything really. Some of the more obvious items to include might be:
Invitation Fabric Swatches Dried Flowers Photographs Wedding Favors Letters to the Future
Depending upon the size of your capsule, you can include such things as a description of the proposal, newspapers and magazines from the day, week and month of the wedding, a printed copy of your wedding ceremony, keepsake marriage certificate, cork and/or label from a champagne bottle, text transcriptions of the toasts at the reception and/or a list of who spoke, dining place cards and/or seating chart, pen and guest book, and predictions from friends and family. Consider saving crystals or sequins from your headpiece, gown, shoes or bouquet. The garter and bride's handkerchief are fairly standard time capsule fare. Toss in the guest list, honeymoon itinerary. copy of the menu, and cards from the shower and wedding. I know one bride who kept all her receipts and vendor contracts so she can show her own children how much mom and dad's wedding cost "back in the olden days."
If you ask other people to participate in a wedding ceremony time capsule ritual, consider having them pick out something on their own that will be a complete surprise to you when you open the time capsule in 5, 10, 20 years.
Many wedding mementos are not available until after the reception, or even the honeymoon. Such items obviously cannot be included in a time capsule assembled ritually within the ceremony, but they can certainly be added later.
As you plan your wedding, make a running list of potential time capsule items as they occur to you. Set aside any samples or extras you think might have a place in your time capsule. You can look at it with a more critical eye the week before the wedding if you are including the ritual within your ceremony. Consult your list one last time when you feel you are ready to place the final seal on the capsule.
There is no right or wrong way to assemble a time capsule. These are your wedding memories and only you can decide what you find meaningful and worth keeping. Whether you include it as a ritual in the ceremony or seal it months after the wedding, have fun! You won't regret the effort.
On The Green: Tod and Megan
I cannot wait to see some of the professional photographs from Jana Martin Photography. Unfortunately, the amateur shot with my camera does not capture the spectacular backdrop for Tod and Megan's wedding. The tree behind us is a beautiful old oak just dripping with spanish moss. I am sure Jana managed to capture some breath taking photographs.
Megan and Tod were married in a private ceremony at the fifth hole of the Viera East golf course near sunset on Saturday, September 22. Megan had noticed the location when playing the course and always thought it would be the perfect setting for a wedding ceremony. She was absolutely right!
Tod and Megan decided on a private ceremony with just their officiant and the photographer. It was a lovely intimate affair in a gorgeous location with beautiful lighting thanks to the setting sun.
We must have been quite the sight with our caravan of golf carts heading out to the hole. This was my first time ever driving a golf cart if you can believe it. What fun! The gentleman from the club who guided us out to the ceremony spot took me on a scenic tour when he escorted me back to the clubhouse in his lead cart. I can see the appeal of golf - well, the appeal of the course anyway.
Congratulations Tod and Megan! Wishing you many more rounds in your life together as husband and wife.
As soon as I heard the opening notes of the processional music I suspected the bride and groom were behind it. Sure enough, these brilliant musicians arranged, performed and recorded their own wedding music. Scott plays the trumpet and Tina the flute with the Brevard Symphony Orchestra.
Scott and Tina chose to be married in their gorgeous backyard on Saturday, September 22. We began a few minutes early as the potential for rain loomed on the horizon, but the weather held and the setting was simply perfect.
Not only did they provide the music for their ceremony, Tina and Scott also treated their guests to a reading of "Believe Me, if All Those Endearing Young Charms" by Thomas Moore as their recording of the traditional music played in the background. Very few couples are able to speak during their ceremony beyond the exchange of vows and rings simply because of the emotional environment and general anxiety of the day. I was very impressed by Tina and Scott's reading. It was just lovely!
Not only are they members of the Brevard Symphony Orchestra, but both Tina and Scott invest in making certain future generations of musicians receive quality training. As I too believe the arts are a vital part of a meaningful life, I cannot resist including links to their websites. Check them out!
The Horn Section Tina Burr
Believe me, if all those endearing young charms
Which I gaze on so fondly today
Were to change by tomorrow and fleet in my arms
Like fairy gifts fading away.
Thou wouldst still be adored as this moment thou art
Brevard Minister Notary Option
Desiree and Stewart with Susan at the Suntree Country Club
Florida is one of three states that permit notaries public to solemnize marriages. As my twin sister, Susan Eaton, is both a notary and a superb officiant, I can pretty much be in two places at once - well, okay, sort of.
Like me, Susan is not remotely intimidated about speaking in public and also recognizes the role of an officiant is often a bit more than just functioning as a public speaker. She too wants to provide the couple with as stress-free and enjoyable an experience as possible.
If I have a schedule conflict, or the couple simply prefers a secular (non-clergy) officiant, Susan is a great choice. I work with the couple in the days, weeks and months leading up to the wedding to craft the ceremony. Then Susan takes over as the officiant and legal agent of the state the day of the wedding. I have lost count of the number of weddings she has officiated, but more than enough to firmly place her in the thoroughly experienced and consummate professional category.
Having a back up for your officiant is an important consideration when planning your wedding. I have another minister I can call upon in the case of an emergency, and of course Susan if the couple is comfortable with a notary. While I have only had to make such arrangements twice in six years, Susan has never hesitated about coming to the rescue. She's a gem!

Cole and Lacey of Iowa hired Shannon Perez of Florida Beachside Weddings to arrange for them a lovely family-oriented destination wedding at Lori Wilson Park in Cocoa Beach on September 20. Their wedding began promptly, which was a very good thing as storm clouds and a wee bit of lightning was gathering in the distance on the western horizon. Peals of thunder punctuated a few of my sentences throughout the ceremony.
The minute the bride appeared on the boardwalk, half of the guests burst into tears. You can count the groom among the tearful. A groom with damp eyes is nothing new, grooms tear up all the time. But it is a special treat to see one so overcome with emotion. This is when I have to struggle the most to maintain my composure. Maybe it is being the mother of three boys, but I have to fight the urge to reach out and hug highly emotional grooms. It is so beautiful it makes my heart swell.
The weather held and we did not feel so much as a single rain drop. There was water up there somewhere, because towards the end of the wedding a gorgeous rainbow appeared over the ocean. Behind my back, but I got to see it when I turned around after the ceremony. I am sure Shannon was able to capture it. What a lovely symbol to appear at a wedding.
I will definitely be sharing those photos on my Facebook page when Shannon has the preview up on her Facebook page.
What greater thing is there for two human souls, than to feel that they are joined for life-
to strengthen each other in all labor, to rest on each other in all sorrow, to minister to
each other in all pain, to be one with each other in silent unspeakable memories.
~ George Eliot
Jennifer and David found me through Victoria, their wedding planner from A wedding to Remember. I'd had a little mishap in Philadelphia earlier in the week which left me a bit stiff and sore, so I was a tad concerned about my ability to get through the evening if anything significantly delayed the ceremony. But with Victoria on hand, I knew everything was going to go smoothly and it did.
The Vero Beach Hotel and Spa is just gorgeous - perfect for a couple that loves the casual lifestyle of Florida, but appreciates the elegant touch as well.
Jennifer and David chose a short, but sweet ceremony that included self-written vows. I offered my microphone so the guests could hear what they had to say to one another, but they preferred their vows to be more private. Between the sound of the waves behind me and the questioning looks on their guests face, it lead me to quip, "I don't know what he just said either, but it made her cry."
As you can see from the picture and guess from my past commentary, the bride wore a dress I absolutely adore. They had a guitarist for their processional and recessional music who was not only great, I thought his look was awesome for the occasion.
Jennifer and David just radiated sheer joy. I love that!
If their flawless wedding wasn't enough, as I was walking back down the aisle two guests leaned over to get my attention. It was a couple who had taken my marriage education class and whose wedding I had officiated two and a half years ago. Which is astounding because I would swear it was just last year. Wow! Let that be a lesson Jennifer and David, time is going to fly by. Enjoy every minute of it.
Rev. Ann Fuller
The commentary on this blog is my own opinion developed over years of officiating a wide range of wedding sizes and styles. I am always happy to answer any questions you may have.

Flaky Croissants & My 201st Post!
I just finished putting together a massive 50 something page report from my term long project at school. So incredibly happy that's complete! I was thinking my reward should be some new cookbooks, don't you agree? Anyway, now I finally have time to post about these amazing croissants! I meant to post them as my 200th post but then lost track so now this is my 201st post! Croissants seemed like something big enough for such an occasion. They're something I've wanted to make for a long long time. Well I think they're something that most bakers want to make at some point, if they haven't already.
I'm so happy with how mine turned out. I thought they'd be really difficult to make, but they're actually not - it's just time consuming. And they're not even that time consuming. You just have to be around to do the turns every hour or so for a few hours once the dough is made. The thing I was most scared about was preparing the butter. I thought it would be impossible to roll out butter but it actually went okay. I used half the dough to make 16 little croissants (and ate at least half of them!) and have the rest of the dough in my freezer. I want to try out some of the recipes in Carole Walter's book that use the croissant dough.
While I'm really happy I made croissants and really happy with how they turned out - so flakey and buttery - I'm not sure that I'd make them again. Most baked goods are so much better when baked at home, and these croissants were really good, but I think I'd rather buy 1 or 2 when I'm craving one. I meant to take more process photos but kept bringing the camera over and forgetting to actually take a picture. There's a couple of pictures below in the recipe though of the sponge and the finished dough.

Makes 3 pounds dough, enough for 32 small/mini croissants
2 cups milk
1 tablespoon sugar
1 package active dry yeast
1 cup unbleached all purpose flour, spooned in and leveled
1/4 cup unbleached all purpose flour
1 pound (4 sticks) unsalted butter, slightly firm (I used European butter.)
4 cups unbleached flour, spooned in and leveled (I used 540 g.)
1/3 cup sugar
2 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, very soft
1/3 cup milk, for brushing croissants
1 large egg lightly beaten with 1 teaspoon of water, for egg wash
The sponge.
Make the sponge:
1. In a 2 quart saucepan, warm the milk to 110F to 115F. Stir in the sugar and sprinkle the yeast over the top. Do not stir. Cover the pot and let the mixture stand for 5 minutes. Stir it briefly with a fork, cover again, and let it stand for 5 minutes longer, or until the yeast is bubbly and dissolved. Using a small whisk, stir in the flour. It's okay if the mixture is somewhat lumpy. Cover and let stand until the sponge has doubled in size, 25 to 30 minutes or more as needed.
Prepare the butter:
2. Sprinkle a cool work surface with 1 tablespoon of flour. Unwrap the butter and lay the bars side by side on the work surface. With floured hands, push the bars of butter firmly together to form a solid mass. Sprinkle the top of the butter with one more tablespoon of flour, patting it over the surface with your hand. With a floured rolling pin, roll the butter into an 8 inch square, using the additional 2 tablespoons of flour as needed. Cover the butter with plastic wrap and place it on a cookie sheet. Refrigerate while you prepare the dough.
Make the dough:
3. Place the flour, sugar and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. On low speed, mix briefly to combine. Add the 2 tablespoons of soft butter and mix for 30 seconds. With the mixer off, add the sponge to the bowl, then mix on low speed until all of the dry ingredients are incorporated and the mixture is fairly smooth, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Do not over mix.
Encase the butter:
Note: For the butter to be rolled through dough, ti is essential that it be pliable. It is ready when it has reached the same degree of softness as the dough. Then it will roll smoothly through the dough.
4. Place the dough on a lightly floured, cool work surface and gently knead for six to eight turns, or just until smooth. Pat the dough into a 6 to 8 inch rectangle and let it rest for 2 minutes.
5. With a floured rolling pin, roll the dough into a 12x16 inch rectangle with the 12 inch side parallel to the edge of the counter. Center the block of butter on the dough. Bring the lower portion of dough up and over to the middle of the butter, then fold the upper portion over to cover the remaining butter, firmly pinching the seam together. You will have a 1 to 2 inch margin of dough on the right and left side. With your thumb, press these edges thoroughly together to seal them.
Make the turns:
6. Give the dough a quarter-turn clockwise. Roll the dough lengthwise into a rectangle measuring about 21x12 inches. Flip the dough over, brushing off the excess flour as needed. If the butter seeps through, seal it by brushing the exposed butter with a light coating of flour. When the desired size is reached, fold the dough into thirds, letter style, making sure all the edges are even. It's okay to gently stretch the corners to even the block. Enclose the dough in plastic wrap, place it on a cookie sheet, and chill for about 1 hour. You have now completed the first turn.
7. Remove the dough from the refrigerator and turn it so the open seam is to your right. Roll the dough on a lightly floured surface into a 21x12 inch rectangle. Fold into thirds, stretching the corners as needed. You have now completed two turns. Wrap and chill again for 20 (or 60) minutes.
8. Repeat the procedure two more times, giving the dough a total of four turns. Wrap the dough with plastic wrap, making the package airtight. Chill for at least 6 hours, or up to 3 days. If you wish to freeze the dough, be sure to deflate it first.
Shape the croissants:
9. Remove the dough from the refrigerator. Line the baking sheets with parchment.
The finished dough before being rolled out.
10. On a cold, lightly floured work surface, divide the dough into quarters using a dough scraper. Working with one quarter at a time, roll the dough into a 16x8 inch strip. Turn the dough so the 16 inch side is parallel to the edge of the counter. Angle the bottom right hand corner outwards and the upper left hand corner outwards to form a parallelologram. This will enable you to shape the croissants without wasting the ends. Pierce the dough with a fork at 1 inch intervals to prevent it from shrinking.
11. Lay a ruler against the long side of the dough closest to you. Make three light indentations in the dough, spacing them every 4 inches. Lay the ruler against the opposite side and repeat, starting at the left side. With the indentations as a guide, cut the dough into eight triangles, using a pizza cutter or a dough scraper. At the wide end of each triangle, cut a 1/2 inch knick using the pizza cutter or dough scraper.
12. Stretch the corners of the wide end of the dough outwards slightly and begin to roll the dough. After you roll about one third of the way up the triangle, begin to stretch the tip outwards with the opposite hand that you are rolling with. Continue to roll the triangle, making three complete turns. Place the croissant on the prepared pan, making sure that the tip of the croissant is on the bottom. Curve the ends of the croissant to form a crescent shape so the widest part of the arch is at the top and the tip is underneath. Continue working with one quarter of the dough at a time, making thirty-two croissants.
13. Brush the tops and sides of the croissants lightly with milk, and place in a warmish spot to rise until puffy and almost doubled, 45 to 60 minutes. Brush the croissants again with the milk two or three times during this rising time.
Bake the croissants:
14. Fifteen minutes before baking, position the racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven. Heat the oven to 400F. Gently brush the tops of the croissants with the egg wash, working from the bottom upward. Do not drip the wash onto the baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 350F and bake for 10 to 12 minutes longer, or until golden brown. Place on a rack to cool. To ensure even browning, toward the end of baking time, rotate the pans top to bottom and front to back.

I thought the din had died, but the memorial meeting in New Delhi triggered some more nostalgia on Tiger Pataudi.
Miliye us shaqsh se ki jo adam hovey,
Naaz apne Kamal par usey kam hovey.
(Meet the person who is, above all, a human being! Who carries his achievements with modesty)
There is no fuss in Mir Taqi Mir's description of the man he holds in high esteem. Tiger Pataudi is probably chuckling somewhere at this somewhat pretentious reference. But the simple couplet goes some distance in explaining the aura in which Tiger has been shrouded these past few weeks. No fuss: that was the cardinal ingredient in Tiger's carriage.
In a general sense, a triple hierarchy defines the highest rungs of the Indian elite. The princely order, for one, would come under the broad feudal category. Second, two hundred years of British experience left behind another category – Macaulay's elite. Third has been the most durable, if not the most glamorous, caste elite.
A combination of the three would appear to be a compelling formula for unbeatable charisma. But, it turns out, mere possession of these attributes does not make for an outright winner. There were other, compulsory pre conditions for a winning combination – good looks, speech, demeanour, carriage and that inexplicable agent of attraction called phiromenes, which some people exude to attract others of their kind.
For all these elements to come together is a rare enough occurrence, but Tiger Pataudi exceeded even this rare configuration. His achievement as a cricketer, youngest ever Indian captain, one who knit together the greatest quartet of spin bowlers in world cricket, authoured the country's first overseas series win, stroked the ball along a silken carpet and that supple agility in the covers which earned him the title, Tiger.
If this is hyperbole, where does one fit in other details: his sporting lineage, for instance, in addition to the princely one. His father, Iftikhar Ali Khan Pataudi, played for England and captained India. He had a gentleman's disdain for Douglas Jardine's Bodyline tactics to contain Bradman. "This is not on" he said. "This isn't cricket." This lack of obsequiousness was a trait Tiger inherited.
It is so appropriate that Tiger should have held Jawaharlal Nehru as something of a model. They shared several elements in their background – aristocratic demenour, education, achievements in totally diverse fields.
Put it down to my biases, but that extra élan they had, derived from a shared composite Urdu culture.
Pandit Nehru's "mother" tongue was not Kashmiri: it was Urdu. This, because like hundreds of Kashmiri Pandit families, the Nehrus had settled in Oudh. In fact they played a pioneering role in shaping Urdu literature.
Tiger's grandmother came from the family of the Nawab of Loharu with which the great Urdu poet Mirza Ghalib also had links.
The word "Nawab", unlike "Raja", reverberates in Urdu. The basic character of Urdu derives not from religious texts, but elegant agnosticism, a certain irreverence bestowed on it by its poets. It is this broad Catholicism which explains Nehru's aversion to religious rituals at his funeral. He shunned religious rites. Nehru most lyrically wanted his ashes to be sprinkled on the Ganges, the Himalayas.
Did Tiger have any "will", for his funeral, that he should be buried according to a strict religious code? If I know anything of him, he must have left his family totally confused where to look for a "moulvi" of suitable affiliations to perform the last rites.
In the framework sketched by Urdu poets, a distance from dogma associated with the clergy is an essential pre condition for realization of my Truth. Little wonder, throughout the annals of Urdu poetry there is not a single passage of any note which has a good word for orthodoxy, dogma, wares that the clergy peddle.
I have dwelt on the Urdu component in Tiger's personality because it also gives him an indigenous platform on which is settled his very anglaise persona, making for an integrated human being, rather like the person he held up as a model. Without the Discovery of India, Nehru would have been something of a rootless person, neither here no there, complaining to his father, Motilal Nehru, that he had made an outrageous mistake in hiring an English governess for his sister, Vijaylaxmi, in total violation of custom prevalent among the British aristocracy which placed a premium on French governesses. Mrs. Vijaylaxmi Pandit told me this story. But proximity to Mahatma Gandhi and the national movement changed all that.
With his insights into the game why did Tiger not commentate more or serve on cricket boards and so on? Also, why did he not join politics? Because he could not. That would involve what the vagabond poet Jafar Zatalli calls, "ghusar phusar". He told an interviewer "I don't think I would have achieved very much more by running around".
Yaas Yagana Changezi warns "Dawar-e-Hashr" or "Creator", not to lose sight of the profound distinction between "banda-e-naumeed" and "banda-e-beniaz", a disheartened loser and the elegantly indifferent, one who couldn't do the "running around" and which others including "Princes" do all their lives for pointless prominence.

The Central Intelligence Agency and the National Security Agency have provided covert help to Colombia's government to hunt down and kill leaders of a leftist rebel group. The Washington Post's Dana Priest reported on the secret program in a big story published over the weekend.
In 2003, after the Bush administration authorized the covert program, the CIA and NSA began providing real-time intelligence to the Colombian government to help their battle against the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, better known by their Spanish acronym, FARC. The program, which targets a U.S.-declared terrorist organization, has been kept secret from the public, and the Obama administration has continued it.

My best friend sells craft beer from a Volkswagen T2 bus, and it's Oktoberfest season, so I had to check out Hungary's VW posse for myself.
VW culture is fascinating. How GTDs seem to be more popular than GTIs. How R32 is a religion. The stickers, the obscenely large wheels, the impossibly clean early Golf engine bays. Beetles, VR6s for life. TDIs on constant overboost, with random VW Group parts thrown everywhere. Hippies in buses, cool dads in Sciroccos, kids in Corrados. The desire to have a Rabbit in Europe over the superior German Golfs. It's all just wonderful. Here are my favorite shots from the VW meet at Hungary's only Formula 1 circuit.

Report: Washington County jail inmate fund used to purchase undergarments, personal items
MACHIAS, Maine (AP) � A report shows that an account at the Washington County jail in Machias meant to benefit inmates was instead used to buy women's undergarments and other personal items for employees.
According to a report prepared by a lawyer hired by Sheriff Donnie Smith, more than $7,000 from the Inmate Benefit Account was also used in 2012 to buy computer equipment, books, clothing, and more.
The account is meant to be used for purchases that benefit inmates, including telephone time and items from the commissary.
WABI-TV (http://bit.ly/USlk5L ) reports that one employee justified the purchases by saying she needed to dress properly for work, and her work benefited the inmates.
The county commissioners are scheduled to meet Thursday to discuss the report.
Sheriff Smith says two employees have been suspended.

Garaibaan mei jhanknaOct 19th, 2011 | By admin | Category: Geo TV, The News
Rahimullah Yusufzai, resident editor of The News (Jang Group) in Peshawar, takes a very critical stance of American foreign policy in Afghanistan, saying that US foreign policy is a mess of confusion because the Americans do not actually know Afghanistan as well as they think they do, and this "paucity of knowledge" has resulted in self-defeating strategies that are alienating the people.
In concluding his piece, points to specific proof that the Americans know nothing about Afghanistan.
Before talking to the Taliban and the Haqqanis or taking them head-on with even greater vigour, the US and its allies would need to know more about these groups. As former US and Nato military commander in Afghanistan Gen Stanley McChrystal recently admitted, the US began the Afghan war with a frighteningly simplistic view and still lacked the knowledge to achieve a successful end.
An example of this paucity of knowledge about Afghanistan was on display recently when a picture of the late Afghan mujahideen leader Maulvi Yunis Khalis standing with President Ronald Reagan at the White House in the 1980s was mentioned as that of Jalaluddin Haqqani, who had never visited the US.
Only problem, this error was made not by the American media, but by Pakistani media, including Jang Group's own Geo TV.
While Rahimullah Yusufzai may be correct "knowing thy enemy should be the first principle for the US prior to undertaking any new step towards making war or pursuing peace", he accidentally suggests that perhaps we should be taking a look at ourselves also.
