CBS Puts Kibosh on Potential Super Bowl Ad from KGB
Another Super Bowl commercial bites the dust.
It seems to be a busy month for CBS Corp.'s Standards and Practices department. The network has rejected a potential Super Bowl ad from KGB, a company that answers consumer questions via text message for .99 cents apiece, according to KGB.
The nixed commercial features two wives calling in KGB agents because their golfer husbands get their heads stuck where the sun doesn't shine, after debating the merits of global warming. "Next time your husbands don't have a clue make sure they text KGB," says one of the agents to the wives. (Watch the ad below.)
"We made it because we thought it was unique and funny, not offensive," said Bruce Stewart, chief executive mobile and digital at KGB.

How My Daughter Taught Me to Trust Again
My daughter's make-believe party taught me a real-life lesson in trust.
Leaning over the counter, my daughter ordered the same meal she always had at our favorite taqueria: a quesadilla, no salsa, no sour cream. I wasn't sure what I wanted to eat. But that wasn't all I was uncertain about.
I'd thought that bringing my 8-year-old to a familiar place to meet my new boyfriend was a good idea. But now I felt awkward. "She's going to be shy," I'd warned Chris the night before.
My daughter followed me to a table and slid into the chair next to me, our elbows touching. She grabbed a tortilla chip and crunched into it, looking straight at Chris. "Have you seen Nacho Libre?" she asked.
"Seen it? I own it," he said with a big grin, referring to the Jack Black movie.
"You do?" She jumped out of her seat. "Can I come over and watch it?" I guess I'd been wrong about shy.
After dinner, we all walked back to my car, making plans for our Jack Black movie night. "Thank you," I whispered, wanting to kiss Chris but instead taking a step back as my daughter wrapped her thin arms around him.
"See you soon," she said. I was silent as we drove to our apartment, just the two of us, the way it had always been. When my daughter was a baby, her father had left the country to start a new life, and I'd been a solo mom since. I wasn't going to let another man hurt me — or her.
At home I climbed into my daughter's bed, as I did every night. First, I waited for her to rearrange her pillows — the firm one, followed by the mushy ones. When she was ready, she laid her head down. It was time for us to talk about her day, something we've done since she was a baby. Without fail, dusk transformed her into an orator.
In the glow of her nightlight, she told me about school, her hands making shadows on the wall. Although she said nothing about Chris, I couldn't stop thinking about him. How would I know that he wouldn't bail on us, like my ex did?
Two weeks later, my daughter and her girlfriend were lining up dolls on our deck for a tea party when Chris biked over.
My daughter ran to him as he pulled out a bag. "Madeleines!" she shrieked. "Thank you! They're my favorite!" Chris was beaming.
Then she requested he join them. "Sit down!" she ordered Chris, pointing to the cloth on the ground that billowed in the wind.
Chris obeyed, slipping off his hard clip-on cycling shoes so they wouldn't tear the fabric.
My daughter's friend bent over and whispered, "Play something else?" But my daughter shook her head and turned to Chris, grinning. "Want some tea?"
I crouched down to join too. "Not you, Mama!" She crossed her arms over her chest.
Chris sipped the lukewarm tea and leaned close to my daughter. "Thank you."
Watching this scene unfold, I wasn't taken so much by the fact that my daughter had invited my boyfriend, in his biking spandex, to her tea party. It was that he wanted to be there.
I'd lost count of how many of my daughter's birthdays had passed now without a word from her father. Clearly, my daughter was already enamored of Chris' generosity, charm and DVD collection. Why couldn't I open up to his love, the way she did?
After tea, my daughter jumped up. "I want to show you my room," she said, clasping Chris' hand. He stood and followed her inside.
If only I had the assurance to allow him in like that. Every day Chris sent me e-mails that said things like "I adore you beyond belief." Yet the doubts lingered. As I leaned on the doorframe, that mistrustful voice whispered, "Is he for real?"
We'd been dating for more than six months when Chris went out of town for work. By his third night away, I was slamming kitchen cabinets, irritable. I was pining for him, but I wasn't about to admit it.
My daughter, on the other hand, asked for his e-mail. Then she left this "sent" message on my laptop: I miss you. I love you.
I sat there and stared at the screen. I'd started to date again when my daughter was a toddler. There was so much at stake, yet I'd initially felt so hopeful about finding love again. I'd imagined meeting the right man when she was still little, and blending our families. While that never happened, years later here was my daughter, so open to love.
One year after meeting Chris, we were on a much-treasured dinner date. But Chris was edgy. He downed his cocktail too fast. His shoulders tensed up whenever the waiter came by. As we walked back to his car in silence, he let go of my hand.
"There's something I need to tell you," he said.
I turned around. His eyes were teary. "I'm sorry, I'm like my mom. I can't talk when I'm emotional."
I thought someone had died.
After pulling a ring from his pocket, Chris tugged out a glittering necklace — for my daughter. He asked if he could join our little family.
"Yes," I whispered.
"Are you sure?" he said.
I was finally ready to open this door. After all, he and my daughter were already there, waiting for me.
Rachel Sarah is the author of Single Mom Seeking, which has been optioned for a TV show by 20th Century Fox. In 2012 she and Chris welcomed a second daughter.

Due its prime inner-city location it was inevitable that we would have a dedicated gallery for the area. The companions you see on this page are all located discreetly in the Marylebone area and they all enjoy the equally vibrant and relaxing atmosphere that this central location can provide. These Marylebone escorts know what's hot and what's not when going out and about, but when they're not entertaining in a restaurant or local bar, they enjoy the relative tranquillity of places like Cavendish Square and Paddington Street Gardens or of course Regent's Park. It's not all about dashing around nightclubs for these young women!
However, they do have vast experience of many of the best local restaurants and bars in the area. Among their favourites are the popular Wallace Restaurant in Manchester Square for great French cuisine, Trishna on Blandford Street for Southwest Indian dishes and of course the ever popular Chiltern Firehouse on Chiltern Street; a street that is becoming increasingly more fashionable as more and more, new and exciting places pop up.
Of course The Firehouse is located in the relatively new and modern, luxurious Chiltern Firehouse Hotel; a lovely place to stay, and one place our escorts in Marylebone love. The Marylebone Hotel on Welbeck Street is located in the centre of this busy area of course, but it offers some respite from the hustle and bustle of London life with complimentary spa and pool facilities; the girls you see on this page will more than likely have spent some quality time in this hotel and we would recommend it among many others of course.

I think the fact that some of the best players in almost every trade, town, and combat group have spent $0.00 or $2.00 on the store shows that making store purchases is certainly not a pre-req to achieving great success in this game. In fact, you can actually earn store credit IN GAME. Meaning, EVERYTHING from the store can be obtained from in-game efforts, and even everything from the current perks of being a customer can be looted and obtained. Since NOTHING is 100% locked to store purchases and can be obtained in game I do think complaints are a bit of a stretch.
Do you advance faster if you throw money at the game.
Do you advance farther and faster to which a player who doesn't cannot compete?
Not at all

Why mbizup Wouldn't Change a ThingJune 28, 2012 1:33 pm ·
With a husband and two teenage boys at her house, Miram Bizup's biggest problem isn't technology related.
"My biggest problem is a recurring one," Miriam says. "It's the parenting logistics of getting everyone to different places at the same time, on time."
Coordinating multiple schedules aside, there doesn't seem to be much else that befuddles the Microsoft Access Database genius. Over the past 20 years, Miriam has balanced work and family and moved up the ranks as a database developer in Maryland.
Like many people, Miriam discovered Experts Exchange in 2005 when she was searching online for an answer to a technology question. Her Experts Exchange story serves as an encouragement to both ask questions and answer questions on the site:
"I discovered Experts Exchange while looking for solutions to database questions when I first started learning Access. My first question was terrible. I knew next to nothing about Access, so the question was really convoluted and posted for only 50 points. Needless to say, it got no responses other than the automated post from the Autodeleter a month later. Looking back on that first question, even I have no idea what I was trying to accomplish. In the meantime though, I had figured out how to ask better questions, was getting great responses and had gotten hooked on the site as a valuable technical resource. Apart from a few questions early on, I was just using Experts Exchange as a search tool for most of the first year of my membership. It was about 10 months after joining that I started answering questions and became an active participant – and started recognizing that I had joined a great community."
Since then, Miriam (who Experts Exchange users know as mbizup) has amassed close to five million expert points and 14 certifications. She is also an Experts Exchange Cleanup Volunteer, Page Editor and Zone Advisor. For her, it's the community and the valuable technical resource that Experts Exchange provides that keeps her active on the site.
Speaking of active, Miriam is also an avid runner, cyclist, swimmer and scuba diver. There have been times, however, that her high energy has worked against her. Like the first Experts Exchange Core Conference, for instance, when Miriam tripped during a morning run around town, hurt her jaw and had to have it wired shut for the remainder of the conference.
"It was the first—and probably the only–time an expert has been completely silent during an entire Core Conference," recalls senior site administrator Eric Peterson. "Everyone felt so bad for her, but it gave the interns someone to dote on during the conference."
Now that Miriam has made a full recovery and regained her voice, we've had the pleasure of speaking with her on the Experts Exchange Tech News Podcast where she talked in depth about how she defines work-life balance and how we can get more women in tech. Her advice to women—and men—in technology or any other career:
"If you don't love what you're doing, you're in the wrong field."
Since she's spent the better part of 20 years with the same company and says she wouldn't go back and change a thing even if she could, we can say with full confidence that Miriam is in precisely the right field.

Old House Renovation in London Created Beautiful Glass Extension and Brightened Up Home Interiors
Posted in
Old house renovation project by London studio David Mikhail Architects brightened up a nineteenth-century house design and added beautiful additions at the rear side of this home in London. Some staircases and previous additions were removed to make room for the new house extension that provide bright spaces for kitchen and dining room.
A contemporary, light and bright glass box with a Siberian larch wood frame, created by David Mikhail Architects, www.davidmikhail.com/ stretches to the backyard and creates an open kitchen and dining room interiors at the backyard level. This new living space features high ceiling, an elegant staircase design and mezzanine library, dramatically changing the East London House design.
The architects designed interior and exterior walls with brick. Large windows and interior doors are framed with chunky timber pieces, which make a bronze balustrades look more dramatic and impressive. These materials were chosen to provide texture and scale, explain the architects. They help blend old parts of the house with the new extension and outdoor living spaces.
Brick and wood addition with glass walls to old house design
Other additions include a pivoting wall, which links the study room and billiard room. Simple lines, beautiful materials, lots of natural light and elegant room decor create modern interior design that feels inviting and contemporary. A new backyard landscaping design and a small garden add charming areas to this fresh and stylish house design.
The house was built in the 1830s at three times the width of most London terraces, resulting in a later conversion into three separate residences. David Mikhail Architects' job was to restore the original concept of the old building and create a modern single family home.
The architects used early photographs of this old house and talked to architects who created previous changed of old house design to be able to reconstruct the original house design and make its layout comfortable and functional.

10,000+ Walruses Come Ashore in Alaska As Arctic Ice Melts
photo: Heather Thorkelson via flickr
In an event that the US Geological Survey is saying is "directly related to the lack of sea ice" in the Chukchi Sea, tens of thousands of walruses have come ashore in northwest Alaska. The AP quotes USGS biologist Anthony Fischbach as saying they "stretch out for one mile or more. This is just packed shoulder to shoulder."
map: Wikipedia
The good news in this is that Fischbach says there should be enough food for them all, even though he doesn't know how the walruses will remain ashore.
Though not normal historically--walrus females normally rest on sea ice while raising their young--walruses have come ashore en masse in 2007 and 2009.
For a really good overview of the conditions of melting ice in the Arctic, and how summer sea ice is decreasing in both extent and volume, check out this video (via Climate Progress):

Balanced flue fires are suitable for homes without a chimney or flue. These glass fronted gas fires deliver super efficient heat combined with low fuel consumption.
Balanced flues work in conjunction with glass-fronted fires only. Here the appliance is sealed from the room in which it is installed and a twin-wall pipe vents directly outdoors. Air for combustion is drawn in through the outer pipe whilst the inner pipe removes the combustion gases to the exterior of your property.
Whether you're looking for a balanced flue gas fire with a classic look and feel, or a contemporary hole-in-the-wall model, we have a great selection to suit all tastes and budgets.
Why Balanced Flue?
Balanced flues suitable for those homes without a chimney or flue, these gas fires deliver super efficient heat combined with low fuel consumption. Balanced flue gas fires (or closed combustion gas fires) are efficient, modern gas appliances that are connected to the outside atmosphere through a concentric flue.
Courtesy of a sophisticated flue that uses natural convection to draw air from outside the building for combustion, then expelling it back to the outside through a separate compartment of the flue, these fires are amongst the safest available.
All balanced flue gas fires are room-sealed, glass-fronted appliances. As well as being attractive in appearance, they provide high levels of comfort due to the fact that the oxygen levels in the home are not being depleted. With no need for an electric supply, all that's required is an outside wall for installation, offering even greater flexibility when deciding where to locate your fire. A wide range of outset and inset models is available in order to create that perfect centrepiece.
A Wide Range of Balanced Flue Fires from Real Flame
Many of these models can be combined with natural stone fire surrounds or a wide selection of beautiful, tailor-made outer frames to enhance the appearance of the fires.
Elegant, comfortable and energy efficient, balanced flue gas fires are an inspired choice for period or contemporary homes.

I am single and an ordained minister of the Armenian Evangelical Church. A common question I get asked is whether or not I can get married. The answer is yes! I can marry! Date me ladies! (Great job showing off your confidence Haigo!) However, not every church denomination allows for their clergy to marry.
To clear up the confusion, here is a breakdown of the rules each major Christian tradition has concerning whether or not their clergy can get married:
Roman Catholic Church: Celibate Clergy Only
If you want to become a priest you are not allowed to get married before or after your ordination. Rare exceptions have been made but the norm is celibacy.
Eastern Orthodox and Apostolic Churches: Both Celibate and Married Clergy
You can get ordained if you are married. But cannot get married if you are already ordained. Celibate priests are the only ones allowed to climb the hierarchy of leadership.
Protestants (Anglican, Evangelical, Pentecostal): No Restrictions
Clergy can get married before or after ordination, they also have the freedom to choose to be celibate.
Being single and wanting to marry is not celibacy, that just means you haven't found someone yet or have no game. Did I mention I'm single?
So, what does the Bible say about clergy having to be celibate?
The answer is: if you want to get married go for it, if not that is okay too.
Most of the apostles were married and the single apostles had the freedom to get married if they desired. The Apostle Paul, who was single, says in his letter to the church in Corinth, "Do we not have the right to take along a believing wife, as do the other apostles and the brothers of the Lord and Cephas? Cephas is the Aramaic way of saying Peter, the leader of the twelve disciples. In the beginning of the Gospel of Mark, Jesus Christ heals Peter's mother-in-law of an illness when they visited her home after coming from the synagogue.
The rules for required celibacy for priesthood developed later within church history. For a quick timeline click here

Long time no see! I hate blogs that contain frequent and lengthy apologies for not having posted for a while. Frankly, moving with 6 month old twins to the other end of the country, a partner starting a new job, a son to settle into university and myself to make over into a full blown Cheshire Wife…been a bit busy, and not just with my new manicure habit, so no lengthy sorry here!
Having said which, restarting this blog was number 3 on my rather long list of New Year's resolutions (which also included, in order, carving more time out to do things which make me happy, letting the nanny help more in order to achieve the former, not self martyring and cutting out 96 paper snowflakes to decorate the house again which will also help the former, having a bit of a think about the rest of my life – marketing again? Politics? Writing? – tackling the eBay mountain of 18 months' worth of maternity and twin cast offs, organising 9 months of twin photographs and videos…oh, and learning to drive, given the invention of the pavement seems yet to have arrived in the Wirral, and the weather here has necessitated the invention of another couple of verses to the twins' favourite rhyme:
Row, row, row your boat/Gently down the Mersey/If you're living on the Wirral/Best to wear a jersey.
Row, row, row your boat/Right across the harbour/If you're moving up to Cheshire/Make sure you pack a Barbour.
There's a Tolstoyian amount to download, which I will over the next few weeks, but I thought I'd start with the changes in the little ladies.
So many evolutionary moments which to outsiders may seem tiny, but I gaze on in awe as being the baby equivalent of the development of the opposable thumb. Which they now have, incidentally – they can, sort of, pick up a pea. What then happens to said pea is anyone's guess, mind…
We can sit. In the sense of gazing around amazed at this new uprightness, getting a bit over excited by it and waving your legs, which then makes you fall backwards. But still all smiles.
We have teeth. Very VERY sharp teeth. We're both a little bit in love with Baby Jake (and a little bit scared, as is Mummy, by Dr Ranj). We will only go to bed after the 'the time has come to say good night' song on CBeebies. The song to which Daddy still doesn't know the words after, oo, about 176 hearings.
They're still babbling but it's clear now they're trying to communicate something. Usually at volume. Romilly will perform 10 minute monologues, and will shout intermittently to get Charlotte's attention, but then won't let her get a word in. The little traitors have stopped saying Mummy though. It's Daddy morning, noon and night. If they keep it up much longer there's going to be no more (ba)nana, God's finest invention. They will eat practically anything if it's mixed with banana. More on weaning anon, but here's a little teaser of life at the dining table. Compare and contrast…
For me that's been the most wonderful and fascinating development – the blossoming of two, very different personalities. They do seem like little people now (if Joe were here I would get a short thesis on definitions of personhood as he states that Fred the cat displays more traits than his sisters…)
I really have to stop myself and Jon from projecting too much, because we may end up artificially reinforcing some stereotypes. But essentially Romilly is the philosopher, and runs the real risk of early onset wrinkles given her brow is permanently furrowed as she examines the world around her. My thumb seems particularly dissatisfying. Maybe it's the manicure…She's very dainty, precise and feminine. She'll pose for the camera and has a smile which transforms her face. She has, to date, been brilliant about eating solids, but has less milk, so given her lower birth weight is still slim, though she's taller/longer. Slender and willowy. Obviously gets that from my side.
Charlotte is a boisterous, cuddly, affectionate clown, who roars and chuckles and gurns on command. She has put down commendable stores of self upholstering for the winter and her burps can probably be heard in Wales. Who does that remind you of? But against her tomboyness, she has the most wonderful thick, wavy hair. A veritable Rapunzel. Whereas Romilly is bald on top with strawberry blonde sideburns. She's so pretty BUT from certain angles, especially if you put glasses on her, looks not unlike Andy from Little Britain.
Most wonderfully of all – and boding well for making a killing on Youtube ad revenue if I can ever catch them at it with the video – is that they've really noticed each other and are interacting all the time. They grin at each other in the morning. Previous biting and hair pulling and random happy slaps have become actual kissing and stroking. They will gaze on in concern when the other is crying. They copy each other: Charlotte does her best rocking Rainman impression in her highchair which Romilly has studied at length and now does too. They take toys off each other but it seems to be in the spirit of sharing. Their Granny (thanks!) gave them lots of rather loud musical instruments for Christmas and we get little duets from The Royal Festival Playpen.
I could sit in that playpen and gaze at them and wonder for hours. Wonder at the fact I grew them. Wonder at the changes in them. Wonder what the years will hold for them and what good they will bring to the world. Actually, I do. Don't tell Jon. I am just SO BUSY with all the housework and admin and everything darling.
PS – one thing I am finding hard is the absence of the wonderful twins' club we were part of in Dulwich. It's so useful to have people to share a jolly good moan with. Not to mention seeing the triplet Mums and realising it's not THAT bad. But the Wirral seems proudly singleton. I've tried TAMBA, twinsclubuk, even advertising on Mumsnet to set up my own, but the nearest one is a 45 minute drive, which is another good reason to get off my bottom and learn. I imagine it's a demographic thing – Mums seen younger here, and the chance of multiple pregnancies increase with age (there is a 90% chance any subsequent pregnancy for me would be multiple, so we've put the Barry White CD away.) And maybe also money, as IVF is pricey. So tempted to get 100% natural T shirts for the twins given the amount of people who ask what are really quite impertinent questions!
So, if anyone's reading this, and lives on the Wirral/West Cheshire/North Wales/Liverpool – shout! Please! I have cake!

Excellent article here with the excellent news that The Guardian is making a profit without a paywall. One of their big things is soliciting donations from readers:
Remember that people's financial relationship with a publication isn't purely transactional. "You write stories I want to read, I give you money" is one way to view the paid-reader relationship. But so are "I like what you stand for, I give you money," "I want others to be able to read your stories, I give you money," and "I want to be the sort of person who supports you, I give you money." With a functionally infinite supply of free news available, the relationship your reader has to you has to be a lot more like the one public radio listeners have with their favorite station. They're not buying access; they're supporting a cause.
PS there's a wonderful blog here on the keen folk at Otari Wilton's Bush hand-pollinating a rare (white) Bartlett's rātā this season.
Capture: Besties, in reply to
a seasonal set-piece
Flowering time for the southern rātā. A different style of tree from its cousin the pōhutukawa: it's bushy and flowers all the way from head to toe.
It's also a bee-magnet! You can't tell from the photos but this tree was surrounded by an almost solid halo of flying bees. One tree, supporting all that life.
Hard News: A thundering clash of,
Marama Davidson on Twitter today deserves a signal boost:
Final reading of Treaty Settlements in House 2day. Relevant since our whole country is apparently outraged about historic lying & stealing.
I give zero fucks about the details of Metiria Turei's personal life, then or now. She stood up for those of us who are disenfranchised and despised. She did it because it was the right thing to do, not because it would be popular. She represented those of us too scared to speak for ourselves.
We know benefits aren't enough to live on. They're designed not to be. This is wrong, much more wrong than the actions of any individual could possibly be.
We also need an inquiry into the historic abuse of children in state care. While Metiria is excoriated for her devotion to her child, no one seems to give a rat's arse about the thousands of children brutalised by the state.
Not to mention the ongoing suffering of dispossessed Maori that Marama Davidson is talking about.
Metiria and the Greens have cracked this conversation wide open. It's not over.
I've never belonged to a political party before, but I've just joined the Greens. It costs $20, or $5 for those of us on low incomes. Metiria's just one person: together, we have the power to make NZ a better place.
I am beyond sickened by the self-righteousness of Metiria's critics. We need to change the system, and not just the welfare system. This National government has had an unending stream of conflicts-of-interest and potential corruption. Bill English falsely claimed a housing allowance as an MP, and he gets to be PM? He's lied to the public just this week about his involvement with the Todd Barclay affair. But we're not being judgemental about that? The Attorney-General just had to resign, and the public still isn't allowed to know why.
The hypocrisy just breaks my heart.
Here's a link to a story about poverty and choices. Y'all should read it.
It worries me that some of my highly-educated and otherwise intelligent friends won't take Snopes as the end of the discussion.
Then it's "Oh yeah it's a badly written article. I'll have to find another one with citations cos this issue is important."
"Well, it might not be right about everything but still some very valid points here".
"Yeah it's fake, but still pretty interesting, right?"
Hard News: The Oncoming Day, in reply to
With 20,000 patients not having medication coverage and a list price of over $100,000 NZD it adds up to 200 billion pennies.
Pennies =/= dollars even if pennies were NZ currency, which they aren't.
I get that the patented version of the drug is expensive, but as Russell has detailed in previous columns, we have a looming public health crisis of potentially 20,000 people with acute liver failure, which is a disaster in both human and monetary terms.
I'm delighted that generic-buying solutions are being found. And I hope all that human potential of people suffering with Hep C can be recovered. Such fantastic news for Martin Phillips and his family and friends and fans. Each person successfully treated is a life given back.

Some women bleed.
Fair enough. I hate that menstruation is so shameful.
Up Front: For Your Own Safety,
Does anyone else remember the Ladies' at the Academy cinema in Chch? Vase of fresh flowers, picture on the wall. Extremely civilised. Toilet facilities don't have to be only utilitarian.
Post-quake, some community portaloos got similar treatment. Locals kept them clean and fresh, and some with a jar of flowers in the corner or children's pictures on the wall.
East-Chch people I think are the least likely to be fussy about gender segregation. Something other than a hole in the ground you dig yourself? Total win.

the same amount of shit and piss events as the males but with the occasional added bonus of menstrual blood

SACRAMENTO, Calif. - With just two weeks remaining in the regular season Sacramento State (24-24) plays its final midweek game of the year at 6:05 p.m. Tuesday at Fresno State (25-22). The Hornets will look to even the season series after the Bulldogs had a 9-0 win in Sacramento in April.
Leading Off
- In his last six starts Sacramento State freshman Parker Brahms is 5-0 with a 0.84 ERA, 0.84 WHIP, and a .174 opposing batting average over 42.2 innings. The Hornets have won each of Brahms' last six starts, with the freshman recording his first complete game shutout in a three-hitter Saturday.
- The Hornets are 15-7 in night games this season. The team's pitching has been particularly impressive at night with a 2.75 ERA and .212 opposing batting average. Tanner Olson, who will start Tuesday night, has pitched 11.2 scoreless night innings this season allowing four hits and no walks.
- Sacramento State leads the WAC in nearly every pitching category including ERA (3.71), opposing batting average (.241), strikeout to walk ratio (2.22), WHIP (1.26), and hits allowed per nine innings (8.14). Hornet pitchers have also hit the second fewest batters and are third with 337 strikeouts.
- The Hornets are 9-12 in league play with one conference series remaining. Sacramento State enters the week in fifth place but every other league team will play conference games this weekend. The top six teams qualify for the WAC Tournament but league-leading Grand Canyon is still ineligible.
- Fresno State had a five game winning streak come to an end on Sunday. The Bulldogs, who are 15-11 at home this year, are hitting .306 with 44 home runs and rank 12th in NCAA Div. I in hits and ninth nationally in doubles. Fresno State beat the Hornets, 9-0, on April 5 at John Smith Field.
Tuesday's game will stream live on HornetSports.com/Radio with Anthony Rifenburg and Andrew Tomsky on the call. Fresno State will also provide a live video stream. Links for the broadcasts and live stats are available above and on the baseball schedule page on hornetsports.com. Follow @SacStBaseball on twitter for in-game updates and see more on the official team pages on facebook and instagram.
Scouting Fresno State (25-22)
Fresno State had a five game winning streak come to an end on Sunday in a loss at UNLV. The Bulldogs have taken 2-of-3 games in each of their last two series and have recent midweek wins at UC Riverside and Cal Poly. Fresno State is 15-11 at home this season and 13-11 in the Mountain West. The squad is hitting .306 as a team this year with 44 home runs, ranking 12th in NCAA Div. I in hits and ninth nationally with 107 doubles. The Bulldogs average nearly seven runs per game but have a 5.81 team ERA. In April Fresno State recorded a 9-0 win over the Hornets at John Smith Field, taking an early 5-0 lead in the first inning and tallying four doubles and a home run while limiting the Hornets to six singles. The Hornets last beat the Bulldogs in Fresno in 2014 but will be looking for a season split for the second straight year in the 79th Div. I meeting between the teams.
Fantastic Freshman
In his last six starts Sacramento State freshman Parker Brahms is 5-0 with a 0.84 ERA, 0.84 WHIP, and a .174 opposing batting average over 42.2 innings. The Hornets have won each of Brahms' last six starts, with the freshman recording his first complete game shutout in a three-hitter Saturday at Chicago State. He earned WAC Pitcher of the Week honors after throwing six shutout innings in a win at Seattle U, allowing just three singles and two walks with six strikeouts against the Redhawks while delivering his second shutout of the season. Brahms now leads all WAC pitchers with a 2.20 ERA and is tied with teammate Justin Dillon for the league lead with a 1.00 WHIP. His current 2.20 ERA would be the seventh best in a season in program history.
WAC Update
The Hornets are 9-12 in league play with one conference series remaining. Sacramento State enters the week in fifth place but every other league team will play conference games this weekend while the Hornets will not. Only the Hornets and Grand Canyon have played 21 conference games to this point with the rest having played 18. The top six teams qualify for the WAC Tournament but league-leading Grand Canyon is still ineligible, meaning that only the bottom two teams in the final standings will not compete in the postseason.
Working the Field
Sacramento State leads the WAC while ranking 9th in NCAA Div. I with a .982 fielding percentage this season. The Hornets have 27 error-free games this season and have committed just 1 error in the last 10 games, going error free in both the CSU Bakersfield and Chicago State series. The single season program record for fielding percentage is .979, accomplished in 2012 and 2013.
Pitching Prowess
The Hornets lead the WAC in nearly every pitching category including ERA (3.71), opposing batting average (.241), strikeout to walk ratio (2.22), WHIP (1.26), and hits allowed per nine innings (8.14). Hornet pitchers have also hit the second fewest batters in the league (31) and are third with 337 strikeouts.
Liking the Lights
In their first full season under the lights at John Smith Field the Hornets are 11-7 in home night games and 15-7 overall at night this season. Sacramento State's pitching has been particularly impressive at night with a 2.75 ERA and .212 opposing batting average through 22 night games. Tanner Olson, who will start Tuesday night at Fresno State, has pitched 11.2 night innings this season and has not allowed a run with just four hits, no walks, and eight strikeouts with a .105 opposing batting average and 2-0 record.
Bash Brothers
Over the last 13 games Vinny Esposito and Kody Reynolds have combined for eight home runs, three triples, eight doubles, and 28 RBIs. Esposito is hitting .370 in the stretch with three homers, three doubles, and three triples with a .426 on-base percentage and .704 slugging percentage while Reynolds has five home runs and five doubles and is hitting .357. Reynolds hit his first career grand slam last Saturday at Chicago State.
Sacramento Stealers
Sacramento State had a string of 15 straight successful stolen base attempts and has been successful on 28 of its last 32 steal attempts. The Hornets lead the WAC with 56 stolen bases this year after leading the league and ranking 68th in the nation with 70 stolen bases last year. Ian Dawkins leads the team and is third in the WAC with 14 steals.
Ian Does it All
Junior center fielder Ian Dawkins is the only Hornet that has started every game this season and has reached base in 43 of the 48 games. He had a 14-game hitting streak into WAC play and is currently on an 11-game hit streak. He leads the team with 22 multi-hit games with a pair of four-hit contests. He leads the WAC with 69 hits and is third in the league with 14 stolen bases while playing outstanding defense with just one error.
Power Surge
Sacramento State has hit 14 home runs in the last 13 games. The Hornets recorded their first five-homer game since March 2014 in the 9-0 win at Seattle U and hit five homers over two games against San Francisco. Kody Reynolds and Vinny Esposito homered in both USF games and James Outman hit two long balls in the 9-0 win. The squad ranks third in the WAC with 35 home runs this season.
K Man
Senior Justin Dillon leads the WAC with 81 strikeouts, having struck out at least five batters in all but three games this season. he has three double-digit strikeout games, including a program record tying 13 in the no-hitter against Northern Kentucky. He has entered the top-10 in program history with 160 career strikeouts.
Vinny at the Bat
Vinny Esposito is tied for the WAC lead with 29 RBIs in league games. Since the start of conference play on March 24 Esposito has hit .330 with seven home runs, seven doubles, five triples, and 35 RBIs over 29 games. He is slugging .661 in the stretch and is 6-for-6 in stolen base attempts.
Record Night
The Hornets made some history in an 11-1 mercy rule win in eight innings over CSU Bakersfield on April 29. Vinny Esposito tied the program record with two triples in the game and Kody Reynolds matched the single-game record with three doubles, becoming the first Hornet in 16 years to record a three-double game. Esposito became the first player in program history to record two triples and a home run in the same game. The Hornets totaled nine extra-base hits on the night.
Three Two-Homer Games
James Outman became the third Hornet to record a two-homer game this year on April 22 at Seattle U. Andrew McWilliam hit two home runs in the first game of the doubleheader at Utah Valley on March 31 before Vinny Esposito hit a pair of two-run homers against Grand Canyon on April 8. The three 2-homer games equal the program's most in a season since the 2009 team had six such games.
WHIP it Good
Sacramento State pitchers lead the WAC and rank 26th in NCAA Div. I with a 1.26 WHIP (Walks and Hits per Innings Pitched) this season. The Hornets are also tied for 23 in the nation with five shutouts and ranks 35th nationally with 8.14 hits allowed per nine innings this season.
Walk It Off
Sacramento State picked up its third walk-off win beating CSU Bakersfield 11-1 in 8 innings via the WAC 10-run rule. The team's second walk-off win of the season was a 2-1 victory in 12 innings over New Mexico State when James Outman delivered the walk-off knock, singling up the middle to drive in Blake Edmonson from second base. Earlier this year the Hornets had a 6-5 walk-off victory over Northern Kentucky in 11 innings, winning on an infield single from Ian Dawkins.
Five Times Thirty
The Hornets are just six wins shy of recording their sixth straight 30-win season. The current streak of five straight 30-win years is the longest such streak since a string of nine straight 30-win seasons from 1985-1993. The team has also recorded winning WAC records and double-digit conference wins in each of the last five years.
Happy at Home
The Hornets have had winning home records in four straight seasons and are 77-41 at home over the last five years. The team is 14-13 at home this year and has had at least 16 home wins in five straight seasons.

A guardian shall be accepted if a student's parents are unavailable. The word parent would also mean guardian where accepted by the management.
Parent-Teacher Meetings (PTMs)
While meetings between parents and teachers may be arranged as and when necessary, the school holds PTMs on a regular basis to ensure effective communication regarding students' performance and steps to deal with problem areas, if any. It is strongly recommended that students accompany their parents to these meetings.
Communication with Parents
Information imparted to students through letters, emails, assemblies, notice boards etc. would be considered passed on to parents. It is therefore essential that students communicate all such information to their parents. The school also tries to maintain direct liaison with parents through the following means:
Student Management System & SMS Alert
KIMS has internally developed a student management system and successfully linked it with the Short Message Service provided by mobile phone operators. This enables us to send useful messages about students' academic progress, attendance and other important announcements to parents and students. Parents are requested to provide us with their mobile (cell) numbers at the time of admission to help us communicate effectively.
Emails are the most efficient and prompt way of providing information to and seeking the opinion of parents on urgent matters. Parents are therefore advised to provide their personal email addresses in the space provided in the application form. Parents are also advised to check their mail regularly.
Occasionally, parents are approached through letters and expected to favour us with their response accordingly. Letters are sent on the address provided to us in the Admission Form, so any change in the same must be notified to the school administration without delay.

More traditional investors have become wary and critical of firms utilizing what is known as a risk-parity investment strategies. The objective of this approach is to reduce total portfolio risk of a multi-asset portfolio. Risk-parity funds use leverage and purchase more treasuries (and other high-grade bonds) in an attempt to lower total portfolio risk (through the use of leverage). However, is portfolio risk "actually" lowered? Recent increases in implied and realized volatility have led risk-parity portfolios to sell risky assets (like equities) and buy more high-grade debt (like Treasuries). This creates a negative feedback loop as selling equities causes volatility to increase which triggers further selling of equities. This phenomenon, in part, explains the rapid rise of the VIX index and the acceleration of the sell-off over the past few trading days.
In spite of the negative feedback loop, risk-parity funds have managed to outperform the broader market. A recent Wall Street Journal piece titled "Is This Obscure Wall Street Invention Responsible for the Market Selloff?" looked at AQR's Risk Parity Fund as a way to measure the effectiveness of the strategy. When the market saw an average decline of 4% on Monday, the firm experienced a loss of only 1.9%. While there exists a negative sentiment towards funds using this approach, are these funds having the last laugh?

Hope in a Jar Sunflowers and Larkspur is the newest painting in Flower Mound Studio and is dedicated to all the very brave gals I know who are fighting and who have survived cancer. I had some scary results from a routine mammogram last week, and was called in for an ultrasound. The doctor found a very tiny spot in my left breast. As she stood over me pointing to the screen, showing me the "shadow" this tiny spot cast (a bad sign, she said), my whole body shook and my teeth chattered. I could hardly get the questions out. When I got outside, I sat alone in my car and sobbed. I turned my head away from the window, so people walking by would hopefully not see me. Then I pulled myself together and stopped crying. I thought about some incredible ladies I know who have survived very real battles with cancer. They've fought it bravely and with class and grace. They have faced much more than the small challenge right now that I am facing.
With mom's health being so poor lately, I did not want her to find out. I hope that her first knowledge of this will be when I tell her I have received the biopsy results, and the tiny mass was nothing at all to worry about. While I'm waiting for that, I will think of Susan, Roxanne, Sue, Beth, and Melanie. Just thinking of them makes me feel much braver, though I am probably the world's worst patient, the biggest worry wart, and the kind of person who drives doctors to drink with second guessing and endless questions. For now, I'm waiting on a phone call. Part of me wishes it would come, the other dreads it. Fortunately, there are many distractions, four of whom are quite demanding about fetch, food and tummy rubs!

This randomized controlled study found a short-term yoga program was associated with reduced trauma symptoms in women with PTSD. Traditional trauma therapies have faced challenges in the treatment of childhood onset chronic trauma and its associated symptoms of affect dysregulation, heightened physiological states, somatic problems, dissociation and avoidance. Body-based work, such as yoga, may act as a treatment bridge, increasing a sense of awareness, safety and mastery over one's body while building skills to effectively interpret and tolerate physiological and affective states. Yoga, one of the top ten most widely practiced forms of complementary alternative medicine in the United States, incorporates techniques of breathing exercises, physical postures, movement, relaxation and mindfulness.
In this study, 64 women, 18-58 years old with chronic, treatment un-responsive PTSD, were randomly assigned to 10 weeks of a treatment condition of Trauma-Informed Yoga classes or a Control condition, Women's Health Education classes. At the post-treatment assessment, the Yoga Group exhibited statistically significant decreases in PTSD symptoms compared to the Control Group. 16 out of 31 (52%) of participants in the Yoga Group no longer met criteria for PTSD compared to 6 out of 29 (21%) in the Control Group. The Yoga Group reported reduced dissociative symptoms, approaching statistical significance. Statistically significant decreases in affect dysregulation and increases in tension reduction activities were also reported by the Yoga Group.

Sen. Lindsey Graham unleashed a tweetstorm on Donald Trump over his suggestion that the US may not protect NATO members in the event of a Russian invasion.
In an interview with The New York Times published Wednesday night, the Republican nominee said that if elected, he may not come to the aid of NATO allies who have not fulfilled their obligation to devote 2% of their gross domestic product to military spending.
"Have they fulfilled their obligations to us? If they fulfill their obligations to us, the answer is yes," Trump said of coming to the aid of NATO allies.
He added: "I'm not saying if not. I'm saying right now there are many countries that have not fulfilled their obligations to us."
One of the central principles of NATO, formed as a bulwark against the Soviet Union in 1949, stipulates that an attack on one of the 28 member states warrants a response from all.
In a series of tweets on Thursday, Graham said that Trump's suggestion that NATO allies shouldn't be defended if they don't meet their quotas was a gift to Russia.
The GOP nominee for President is essentially telling Russians/other bad actors the US is not fully committed to supporting NATO alliance. — Lindsey Graham (@LindseyGrahamSC) July 21, 2016
#2 -- NATO has been the most successful organization in modern history to provide collective defense for democracies. — Lindsey Graham (@LindseyGrahamSC) July 21, 2016
Statements like these make the world more dangerous and the United States less safe. https://t.co/8hrywK6wEM — Lindsey Graham (@LindseyGrahamSC) July 21, 2016
#4 -- I can only imagine how our allies in NATO, particularly the Baltic states, must feel after reading these comments from Mr. Trump. — Lindsey Graham (@LindseyGrahamSC) July 21, 2016
#5 -- . I'm 100 percent certain how Russian President Putin feels – he's a very happy man. — Lindsey Graham (@LindseyGrahamSC) July 21, 2016
#6 -- Mr. Trump has shown the ability to correct statements such as this. I hope he will do so tonight when the world is watching. — Lindsey Graham (@LindseyGrahamSC) July 21, 2016
One of the more unabashed hawks remaining in the Senate, Graham has frequently spoken out against Trump's isolationist foreign policy proposals, saying they would endanger US national security.
Graham's criticism of Trump's NATO stance echoes presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton's assertion earlier this year that Trump's election would "be like Christmas in the Kremlin."
Clinton's campaign skewered the Republican nominee over his comments on Thursday, saying that past NATO proponents like Republican President Ronald Reagan would be horrified by the idea of abandoning NATO allies.
"Ronald Reagan would be ashamed," Jake Sullivan, a Clinton senior policy adviser, said in a statement. "Harry Truman would be ashamed."
He added: "Republicans, Democrats, and Independents who help build NATO into the most successful military alliance in history would all come to the same conclusion: Donald Trump is temperamentally unfit and fundamentally ill-prepared to be our commander-in-chief."
While Trump's position makes him one of the only high-profile public NATO skeptics in American politics, his criticism of the treaty organization is shared by others across the foreign policy spectrum. In recent years, some member nations have failed to spend 2% of their GDP on defense, which has irked some members of the Obama administration.
In a statement, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg pointed out that many NATO members have increased spending in recent years, likely the result of a resurgent Russian presence.
"Solidarity among allies is key for NATO," Stoltenberg said. "This is good for European security and good for US security. We defend one another."

One of the things I often say in my presentations is that Ihaveobserved many churches allacross America that are not touching the culture as they used to; I have also observed the churches across the United Kingdom and Europe and seen the sorry state of the church there in those increasingly anti-Christian nations. Because these churches are not reaching the culture as they once were, they tend to water down the teaching of the God's Word and make the church more entertainment oriented and gimmicky—in the hope of attracting people from the world.
But what they really should be doing is standing on the authority of the God's Word and giving the world the answers they need to hear, so they understand the history in the Bible is true—which is why the gospel and Christian morality based in that history is true.
Sadly, most churches have allowed the world to invade the church by not taking a stand on a literal Genesis, which compromises God's Word with the pagan religion of the age (evolution/millions of years). And they wonder why the majority of teenagers leave the church and why we are losing the next generation.
Most of thechurch'skids go to public schools where they are being taught a history that contradicts the Bible's history. In church, theyjusthear messages of love, trusting in Jesus,and so on—but in their minds, the Bible can't be trusted. Over and over again, I see churches thinking they have to come up with gimmicks to attract the world and try to keep the coming generations in church, because they are not teaching the Word of God as they need to be in this culture. They are not teaching people how to defend the faith and not giving them answers to know they can trust God's Word. Most churches have allowed the coming generations to even question God's Word based on what the world (i.e., public schools, science museums, TV, etc.) is teaching them.
And we continue to lose the culture! We will soon be where Europe and England are if we keep going the waythey have gone! If two thirds of young people continue to leave the church (as is currently happening) by the time they are teenagers, where is the church going to be in a couple of generations?! That is what the bookAlready Gone is all about (if you haven't read it, I urge you to do so).
Below is an example in Michigan from a news website that to me represents the sorry state of the church in America and the gimmicky methods the church is attempting to use. Because by and large the churchhasn't been teaching a message that will touch the culture—because in reality, the culture has invaded the church (http://www.mlive.com/news/muskegon/index.ssf/2010/06/spring_lakes_christ_community.html):
SPRING LAKE — A prominent Spring Lake church removed its cross Tuesday and has changed its name as part of a series of moves intended to make it more inclusive. C3Exchange, 225 E. Exchange, Spring Lake, was formerly known as Christ Community Church. The Rev. Ian Lawton, the church's pastor, said the name change and removing the cross were designed to reflect the church's diverse members.
"Our community has been a really open-minded community for some years now," he said. "We've had a number of Muslim people, Jewish people, Buddhists, atheists. ... We're catching up (to) ourselves." . . .
Lawton said the church decided to change its name about a year ago and began taking ideas from members. He said the new name was chosen because the church is on Exchange Street, and "our community is a place where people can come to exchange ideas."
He said the church is considering painting a heart, a globe and the word "exchange" on its exterior wall on the side where the cross stood, to symbolize "one love" for "all people."
"We honor the cross, but the cross is just one symbol of our community," Lawton said.
Lawton gave a sermon March 21 likening using the cross as a symbol of Christ's life to using a bullet to remember Martin Luther King Jr. He said that opinion is his and not the church's.
. . . "The cross has become a negative symbol for a lot of people." . . .
Lawton said most feedback the church has received has been positive. He said some people had not come to the church in the past because they had thought it was a traditional congregation, and others were disappointed by what they found when they came expecting a traditional service. . . .
"We want to make the whole experience from the moment people walk in the church .. to match our inclusive identity," he said. "We're not trying to change anyone, because we say, 'Come as you are.'"
Lawton said C3Exchange does not mean to criticize or mock Christianity.
"We're not any threat to the other churches," Lawton said. "We want (other churches) to do well, but we're trying to provide an alternative."
Supporters in OklahomaWhen we are visiting an areawith a seminar,we invite some of our AiG supporters to come and spend some time with our team—as we have done for the past four days in Yukon, Oklahoma (near Oklahoma City).
I give them a behind the scenes update on what is happening at AiG and the Creation Museum.Here is a photograph as I spoke to a group of our supporters in Oklahoma over lunch on Sunday:
AiG's Dr. Jason Lisle (astrophysicist) was well received with hisUltimate Proof of Creationseminar presentation on Sunday evening. People love being taught how to think and how to logically argue with a non-Christian as they defend the Christian faith:
When Moses was gone into . . . then he heard the voiceThanks for stopping by and thanks for praying,
(Numbers 7:89) And when Moses was gone into the tabernacle of the congregation to speak with him, then he heard the voice of one speaking unto him from off the mercy seat that was upon the ark of testimony, from between the two cherubims: and he spoke unto him.
Only after we pull away from the world to our quiet time with God, shut the door, still our heart, and open our Bible can we hear the Lord Jesus Christ speak us.

"Fernando Morientes is now officially a Liverpool player," club spokesman Ian Cotton confirmed.
The Spanish international has signed a three-and-a-half year contract and will be unveiled on Friday at 1300 GMT.
Morientes, 28, told the Liverpool website: "I am excited about playing for Liverpool and it's the biggest decision of my football life."
Manager Rafa Benitez revealed his excitement at the prospect of partnering Morientes with Milan Baros and hinted it could happen in Saturday's match against Manchester United.
Benitez said: "Morientes is important to us. He is good in the air, he is a good finisher and can shoot with both feet.
"We need a target man with experience - for the supporters, for the team and for the players.
"He is not the quickest but he can play with Baros and they could form a good partnership because one is good in the air and the other is quick.
"He also has the mentality to go straight into a game like Saturday's if necessary."
Liverpool will pay £5.5m initially but the fee will rise to the full asking price depending on certain clauses.
Those clauses are believed to be linked to the striker making a certain number of appearances for Liverpool.
Morientes added: "I want to play and I had several offers, but I think the best for me and my family was Liverpool's.
"I am happy for that reason, but sad because it has been eight years here at Madrid and I will never forget them. This is a new stage in my life and I am excited about it."
Real Madrid coach Wanderley Luxemburgo earlier said he was sorry to see Morientes leave.
"I like Morientes because of his playing style. But Real Madrid were already talking about [his transfer] and I couldn't do anything. I spoke to him but [the move] was what the player wanted."
Real Madrid general manager Emilio Butragueno said, "It hasn't been easy for us to allow him to leave."
Morientes, highly prized in French football after his goals while on loan steered Monaco to the final of the Champions League last season, could have chosen to join Lyon.
Lyon made a late bid of £6m - considerably more than Liverpool's initial £3.5m offer - which was rejected.
Morientes was the top scorer for Monaco last season on their Champions League run, and was recalled to Real when new manager Jose Camacho took over in July 2004.
But Camacho lasted only until September, when he was replaced by Mariano Garcia Remon, who in turn was ousted in favour of Luxemburgo in December.
Throughout the changes, however, Morientes has remained fourth-choice at the Bernabeu behind Ronaldo, Raul and Michael Owen, who left Liverpool for Spain in the summer.
Morientes, who has previously outlined his admiration for Benitez, becomes the fifth Spaniard to be signed for Liverpool by their compatriot manager, after Luis Garcia, Xabi Alonso, Josemi and Antonio Nunez.
Argentine defender Mauricio Pellegrino has also joined from Benitez's old club Valencia.
He marked his debut with a goal in the 3-0 reserve-team victory over Chester.
Baros and Igor Biscan also featured in the game.

We arrived into Jaipur late Thursday night and were greeted like royalty at the heritage hotel we had booked for the weekend. The entrance was absolutely magnificent and the entryway to the hotel had gold-plated everything. It was quite a sight to see. We were fairly worn out from a long day in Delhi and even though it was an easy flight, we decided to enjoy some drinks at the rooftop bar and then call it a night early so we could wake up early for a day of sightseeing.
Bright and early Friday morning we enjoyed an authentic Indian restaurant at the hotel and then made our way to the first attraction of the trip!
Amber Fort
Frequently cited as one of the most popular and famous palaces in Rajasthan, Amber Fort (or Amer Fort as some write it) did not disappoint. It is incredible. Built in 1592, it was constructed by Raja Shri Man Singh Ji Sahib, a war chief and trusted general of Emperor Akbar.
This was the highlight of Jaipur for me. The views were just magnificent. You can see the different rooms that served various roles. The Diwaan-e-Aam and Diwaan-e-Khaas are two rooms where the king is said to have entertained guests and listened to the needs of the public. By far the most famous space is the Sheesh Mahal (Mirror Palace) which was absolutely incredible. The whole space, walls and ceilings, are covered in beautiful patterns made of glass.
Several things to note:
1) DONT WEAR YELLOW! The bugs love it and will not leave you alone. Luckily my friends encouraged me to power through, even though I almost broke down and bought an overpriced t-shirt. Once I got to the top of the hill the bugs had mostly moved on to other victims.
2) You can ride an elephant to the top of the fort. The cost was like 1200 rupees for 2 people, but our group decided to forgo that experience. I am not an PETA fanatic or crazy animal activist, but one look at these elephants and you could tell that their care was not at the top of anyones priority list. They were beautiful and amazing to see up close, but think through if you really need to feed into that particular piece of tourist hype. No judgement should you choose to partake, just think about it first. For us, it just wasn't worth it. Even if it would have been a sweet Instagram photo!
3) Take water, buy water, water, water, water. Jaipur is HOT. However, the walk to the top only takes about 20 minutes (and this is factoring in our million and one photo stops). So it could be worse 😉
Jal Mahal (Water Palace)
On our way up to the Amber Palace we had passed Man Sagar Lake, which is the artificial body of water that was created around the Jal Mahal, commonly called the water palace. It actually continues another 4 floors underwater and quite an engineering feat when you think about it. The majestic palace is amazing to look at, but unfortunately, you aren't able to actually get out on the water to see it up close. It was constructed in 1750 and uses a special lime mortar to keep the water from seeping through it. Impressive how well it has held up considering it's age and proximity to mother nature. We didn't go see it all lit up at night, but apparently that is a gorgeous site to behold as well.
At this point we were all getting pretty exhausted, but we had a rickshaw driver who spoke great English and was very animated who pushed us on to the last destination for the day, the Hawa Mahal (Palace of the Winds). As one of the most common tourist attractions, it was surrounded on all sides by vendors touting their goods and it was a very busy area, so we were immediately overwhelmed, but we soldiered through and found the ticket office we were able to get a composite ticket with our student IDs for only 200 rupees. It ended up being a great deal because we got into all of the places we wanted to see with that one ticket, expect for City Palace which was not included in the price.
This place is also beautiful, but we had seen so many photos of it plastered all over Jaipur and in the airport that i think our hopes were a little too high. It was still beautiful and worth the visit, but it was smaller than what we had envisioned. It was constructed in 1799 and has 953 windows! It was designed with the intention of allowing royal women to view everyday life without being seen since they never appeared in public.
After a mid-afternoon nap and a bit of freshening up, we made our way out for dinner. We were going to go to a well recommended rooftop spot, but it was all booked up so we made our way to a cafe nearby for dinner. It was started by a few Indian friends who had studied in the Western world and wanted to create the cafe atmosphere they had seen abroad. I really enjoyed it and they had free wifi, great coffee drinks, and games to play; which is the way directly to my little millennial heart. I loved it and althoguh the service wasn't spectacular, I want them to make it, so I gave them 5 stars on TripAdvisor. Again…a little free wifi and good coffee goes a long way with me 😉

WiFi in Hotels
Hotels play a huge part in the UK's booming hospitality industry, with PwC claiming there are more than 600,000 rooms available across the country.
- Telephone
- 0333 343 5036
- firstname.lastname@example.com
- Contact
- Emily Almond
Data also shows that as the wider economy grows, so too do occupancy rates. In order to keep booking rates up, hotel companies must create a comfortable, convenient and safe experience for guests. To this end, the provision of WiFi is crucial.
WiFi is essential
Connectivity is no longer a luxury; your guests expect to find it immediately, whether they're in the lobby, in their rooms or anywhere else on the premises. One study found that free WiFi comes ahead of breakfast in the importance stakes for most people, while half of all business travellers say it influences their choice of hotel.
With review sites and social media used so freely by today's consumers, it doesn't take long for word to spread on whether or not a hotel offers WiFi. By not having it available, you risk losing business quickly to other chains and independent providers.
Connectivity isn't just for guests
Managing a hotel is a colossal task, especially when there are in excess of 100 rooms to service and an even greater number of guests to keep happy. What's more, all of this happens seven days a week, 365 days a year. Ironically, it's an industry that never sleeps.
However, technology has revolutionised the way in which staff keep everything running smoothly, and connectivity is very much the enabler. It powers the self-service check-in screens that free up employees to help guests with queries, and gives housekeeping teams the ability to report breakages immediately.
In-room entertainment systems can also be enhanced by WiFi. Instead of relying on outdated pay-per-view systems, many hotels offer guests the chance to stream content directly through their TVs, or from personal smartphones over a wireless connection to the larger screen.
Data-driven decisions
Every WiFi connection in your hotel, whether it's servicing guests in their rooms or helping staff in the lobby, collects data whenever it's activated. This information can then be used to help you, the hotel operator, make better decisions about the running of your business.
From a breakdown of the types of devices used to connect, for example, you may be able to see that most of your guests own iPhones. You could then make the appropriate charging facilities available in each room.
Behind the scenes, it's possible to see real-time reports on the requests made by housekeeping teams. It may be that one type of lightbulb is more prone to blowing, or that demand for extra towels increases at certain times of the year. The quicker these trends can be highlighted, the sooner you're able to act in a way that either cuts costs or improves the guest experience; both are key objectives.
Virgin WiFi: the expert in hotel WiFi
Installing WiFi in your hotel takes a little more time than setting up a router in the lobby and providing your guests with the login details, especially if you're to deliver the levels of service people expect. Meeting the speed and reliability needs of such a large group of people is a big operation that requires a unique set of specialist skills and experience. That's where we come in.
Virgin WiFi has long been the trusted WiFi and communications partner of so many major organisations inside and outside the hospitality sector. In the hotel world, we work closely with some of the biggest chains, including Premier Inn and Travelodge, to deliver both corporate and pubic WiFi solutions that keep customers connected and operations running smoothly. Our WiFi serves over 100,000 bedrooms in the UK.
What's more, the WiFi solutions we provide are brand-agnostic, which means the landing pages your guests see are consistent with your own branding – not ours and not advertisers'. Should there be any queries or issues, we still take full responsibility. Our team of specialists is on hand 24 hours a day to offer advice and guidance whenever necessary, to you or the end-user.
We've held ongoing contracts with the UK's biggest hotel chains for more than a decade, and continue to deliver the solutions that keep great reviews and bookings flooding in.

In 1960, the cornerstone was laid for our home on Pinebrook Boulevard. In 1973, after thirty-six years as a brilliant leader of Temple Israel's growing congregation, Rabbi Shankman achieved Emeritus status, and Amiel Wohl became Senior Rabbi. Rabbi Wohl's humanitarian influence brought prominence, both in the greater Westchester community and the Reform Judaism movement. He organized the Israel Action Committee, memorialized the Warsaw Ghetto uprising and the Holocaust, and drew attention to the plight of Jews in Russia. B'not Mitzvah (Bat Mitzvahs), Havdalah and Selichot services, and the modern pronunciation of Hebrew became part of Temple Israel's regular rituals. Weekly Sabbath and High Holy Day broadcasts over radio station WVOX-AM, under the direction of Rita Rosen, reached out to those who were unable to attend services. Within the larger community, Rabbi Wohl gained high marks for promoting understanding among diverse religious denominations and for advancing interracial cooperation.
Helene S. Reps was appointed cantor in 1980, continuing the tradition of providing inspiring musical presentation at Temple Israel. Upon her ascent to Cantor Emerita in 1997, Cantor Alane Katzew joined the clergy, introducing contemporary musical compositions to blend with TINR's choral music tradition and initiating our transition to a participatory "Singing Congregation." In July of 2002, our current cantor, Erik L. Contzius, came to Temple Israel from Congregation Keneseth Israel in Elkins Park, Pennsylvania, where he served as cantor and music director.
In July 2000, Michael Z. Cahana joined our clergy team as Senior Rabbi, and Amiel Wohl was elevated to Rabbi Emeritus. When the Cahana family moved to Portland, Oregon in 2006, Temple Israel introduced Evan Goodman as Senior Rabbi. During the following year, Beth Nichols, a graduate of the HUC Los Angeles campus, entered as Assistant Rabbi and Director of Religious Education. In 2009, we welcomed current Senior Rabbi Scott B. Weiner from Manhattan's Hebrew Tabernacle Congregation. Rabbi Nichols has recently been promoted to Associate Rabbi and Director of Congregational Learning, and Rebecca Elkus-Ferst has been hired to serve as Religious School Principal.
