Back in the 1970s, Afroze G. Ali, a Karachi based artist, was so moved by the black and white newspaper reproduction of a painting that she used it as the basis to create her own huge canvas.
Now, more than three decades later, her painting, "The dancing flames" has become a way for her to reach out across the border to people in India.
"The dancing flames" takes its genesis from a painting by the late Soghra Begum (wife of late Ozzir Zuby) who was inspired by a scene from"Shakuntula", a play performed at Shanti Niketen, Calcutta.
As an artist, Afroze's forte is landscaping but is equally trying her hands on calligraphy, following in the footsteps of her elder brother, Syed Ashfaq Ghani. This is the only piece she has done which is different. Inspired to create it after seeing the black and white newspaper photo without knowing its original colours, she enjoys the play of different and vibrant colours in her painting. She feels that her work gives the feel of transformation of musical melody into the colours of waves. In addition to that Afroze plans to write a book on landscaping too.
With the launch of Aman ki Asha, Afroze found a new meaning for her painting, which she retouched a few months ago. And all the way from one end of the huge metropolis to the other end, she came to meet the team of Aman ki Asha lugging along her huge canvas.
Talking to The News, she said she would like it to be presented as a gift to the people of India. She also dreams of being able to visit her hometown, Hyderabad, Deccan and Mumbai to meet her extended family that she last visited almost a decade ago. Besides, she aspires to visit Jaipur for vacation. "I'm very inspired by Indian art and the work produced by the some Indian artists and therefore wants to visit India."

Grrrr I can't wait to do mine Monday!!
i go in Oct 2 for a dating U/S i will be 12 weeks i would be nice to get a peek but i don't have high hopes of it so it will find out in Nov. or i may wait until the baby is born two of my girls kept there legs crossed everytime we did an U/S so the baby may make us wait
My dd is the 14th
Hmm maybe it's just my phone? I'm only seeing your result for the baking soda and everyone else just has the one guess
my name is pink i guessed girl if your name is blue then you guessed boy then i have the baking soda and the ring test there are five other have the baking soda test up i was trying to make it look better but i my have messed it up
I like this one.. it was kind of wierd how well it worked. This was the first time I've ever done it this way.
I did the version where you just hold it over your belly and I always get girl up until like 14-15W and it changed over to boy with my actual boys. It doesn't mention a time limit so I dunno why it did that but later on in pregnancy with me and ALL of my friends it was spot on.

My gender predictor is a girl as well, I'm not doing the ring because I'm too lazy. And I'm pretty sure my baking soda is actually a girl, the only time it foamed was the very first, ever since it's been nothing. I feel like it's a girl, and everyone has guessed girl....so I will be shocked if it actually is a boy! Thanks! The only one that said boy was the chinese calendar.

"People prefer to operate in their comfort zone, that's human nature. And I think that what's important to understand what got you to a certain level won't necessarily get you to the next level," said John Rice, the chief executive of Management Leadership for Tomorrow, a U.S.-based nonprofit that provides job coaching for minorities.
Rice says it would be most beneficial to have a "360 degree network" of high performers, meaning surrounding oneself with successful people who are more senior than you, at your peer level and working beneath you.
"If you are a woman, if you are an underrepresented minority, in most organizations (in the U.S.), those people are probably underrepresented at the top," he said. "Therefore if your strategy is only to focus on people who you have things in common with, then you run the risk of missing a lot of people who are either at the top or are on the way to the top."
Fern Ngai, the chief executive of Community Business, a Hong Kong-based consultancy that helps companies build inclusive workplaces, said support networks for specific groups like women, parents and LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual or transsexual) individuals are becoming more commonplace in the workplace in Asia.
But she says one important way for companies to hone talent is to encourage employees to diversify their networks. They can then learn about different career paths and understand the work of different teams within the company.
In many cases this type of broadened exposure could be facilitated by the company using networking events that bring a variety of staff members together, especially high-potential employees who can gain insight from high-level executives.
"Talent get inspired by this. So from an employer's standpoint, creating these networks and getting them to go out and interact I think is very important," Ngai said.

Sports Update
24 Hour Party People: Panthers celebrate trip to regionals after hectic day
BY Kevin Hageland,
Published: Friday, October 19, 2012 6:37 PM CDT
When Plano East's Vishal Menon won his match Thursday evening against Allen, that was the final point the Panthers needed for a trip to the Region II Tournament.
But the ensuing celebration was not one of a team headed to regionals for the first time since 2003.
"It was more relief than a huge celebration," said Don Allen, East head coach.
That makes sense considering this was the second time in three days East thought it had qualified for regionals.
The first came Tuesday after East defeated McKinney Boyd, 10-9, in the District 10-5A Semifinals. The top two teams advance, so the Panthers would have to lose to Plano West in the finals while Allen defeated Boyd in the third-place match and East in the playback match to lose the regional spot.
Allen had lost to East and Boyd in the regular season, but made things interesting.
"I was getting continual texts from the coaches involved," Allen said. "Boyd was up on Allen the first time, 5-2, after doubles and now they were down, 4-3. That's quite a turnaround, so at that point I was a bit concerned."
While the Panthers lost to the Wolves on Wednesday, 10-4, the Eagles upset the Broncos, 10-9. That meant Allen and East would have a playback Thursday with the winner advancing to regionals.
"In our district there isn't a big difference between us, Boyd and Allen, so you know the fourth-place team can beat second," Allen said. "And we knew this was a win or the season would be over type of situation, but we had just been in that same spot two days prior against Boyd, so I think that helped our mindset.
"This was not a time to get soft or be fearful, so I told the kids to go out there and show we were the better team."
East accomplished that task.
Five of the seven doubles matches went the distance, but the Panthers won four of the three-setters to take a 5-2 lead at the turn.
"That was really huge for us," Allen said.
East would win five singles matches as well, with the final one coming from Menon.
"When Vishal won his match I had to tell the kids, 'hey, that was 10,'" Allen said. "At that point I think it all started to hit them and they finally started jumping around a bit."
East is now set for the 16-team regional tournament, which is Friday and Saturday in Tyler, for the first time in nine years.
"In the spring we thought we could be in position for one of those top two spots and the kids have worked really hard and played together to reach this point," Allen said. "But we aren't going to regionals to be the team that is just happy to get there; we will continue to sharpen our skills so we can represent our school well."

It knows: Earthquake, Sludge Bomb, Iron Tail, Shadow Claw.
Nidoqueen Learnset
I'm going to offer this set, now that B/W is out:
Ability: Poison Point Nature: Bold/Relaxed EV focus: Defense, Sp. Attack, a little HP *Toxic Spikes-entry hazards, you know where this is going... *Dragon Tail-force a switch so that whatever comes in gets poisoned. *Venoshock-STAB, and double the power against poisoned foes. *Earth Power/Earthquake-also STAB
Nidoqueen is a well rounded pokemon, and your moveset should reflect that, with only a base attack of 82 and a special of 75, you should probably change a few of her moves, as she would be helpless against an overly defensive pokemon. My suggestion would be to use the following moves: Earthquake, Stealth Rock, Crunch, and Thunderbolt/or Toxic Spikes. Earthquake is a staple for just about any pokemon as it's a powerful, accurate move that covers many type advantages, not to mention a nice STAB bonus. Stealth Rock, being an entry hazard, can be devastating to any team and rip them to shreds, especially when paired with toxic spikes, and only takes 2 turns to use both. (Just watch out for Rapid spin, as this can break through entry hazards) Thunderbolt mainly exists to counter water types, which are very common in battles. Crunch is there to catch psychic types off guard just as shadow claw did, only it has a power of 80 instead of 70, and also offers a chance to lower your opponent's defense (20%). this is only a suggestion, so change this as you see fit.
I like
thunder bolt,
shadow claw,
sludge bomb.
Nidoqueen (F) @ Red Card
Role: Lead
Trait: Poison Point
EVs: 252 Atk / 120 Def / 136 SDef
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
Ah, My old Favorite Lead.
The Strategy here is quite simple, You set Up Hazards, and Then Dragon Tail until You die, Occasionallly Using Earthquake if you're Super Effective.
Gen V
Nidoqueen (F) @ Life Orb
Trait: Sheer Force
EVs: 252 SAtk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
Offensive lead. Set up your Toxic Spikes. If the foe has Taunt, or you are in a situation where you'd rather not use Toxic Spikes, then you can hit the foe hard. Sheer Force powers up all of your moves, and all of your moves have great type coverage. Also, Lif Orb recoil is negated. A really powerful sweeper, especially in NU where it resides due to Nidoking.
Item: Leftovers Ability: Poison-point/Rivalry Nature: Jolly EVs: 200 Defense, 200 S.Defense, 110 Attack
Rest Sleep-talk Dragon-tail Super-fang
Rest is healing. Sleep-talk lets you attack in your sleep. Dragon-tail loses its low priority when used by Sleep-talk so it can be coverage and damage switching have a Pokemon with entry hazards on your team to maximize effectiveness. Super-fang is for if you do not use Dragon-tail you can use this to take half of their HP in just one hit, you could simply not have a fourth move to maximize chances of Dragon-tail but it also increases the chance of using Rest and not doing anything. Rivalry can be used strategically if you know your opponent has all males but it is risky, Poison-point is the safe alternative but it is not very useful.
Gen III
Nidoqueen (F) @ Choice Band
Ability: Poison Point
EVs: 252 Atk / 84 Def / 100 SDef / 72 Spd
Just hope you don't die! This is straight up offensive tanking, enough defenses not to die, a nifty ability to piss off unlucky people making physical contact, so much fun.
Sludge Bomb is some STAB for you, and a Chance to poison, which is always fun.
Earthquake is Strong STAB with great coverage.
Super Power is for a Knock N Switch routine, yay for that. And Shadow Ball is for ghosts and Psychics, and gives you defense agaisn't Gengar.
Nidoqueen # Focus Sash Nature: Bold (^Defense -Atk) Ability: Poison Point ~ 252 HP EVs / 200 Defense EVs / 58 Speed EVs
Toxic Spikes
Ice Beam
Flamethrower / Taunt
Here's a set for setting up (hahaha!). Toxic Spikes for your standard setting of ups, paired with Psyshock for some powerful damage when you're up against Poisoned foes. Than you have Ice Beam and Flamethrower for all of the above, along with an attempt to try and stop another lead. Whatever they may be, or whatever they may be trying to do, try and stop them by throwing an attack in their face!
- 10.22.2011 03:51
Double/Triple Battle
Nidoqueen (F) @ Choice Scarf Trait: Sheer Force EVs: 144 Atk / 116 SAtk / 248 Spd Rash Nature (+SAtk, -SDef) - Sludge Wave - Rock Slide - Earthquake - Blizzard
A mixed sweeper. Earthquake and Rock Slide have been mentioned before as being just awesome in multi-battles. Rock Slide gets the Sheer Force boost this time. Earthquake gets STAB. Sludge Wave hits multiple foes, gets STAB, and is boosted by Sheer Force. This makes it very powerful. Blizzard hits multiple foes and gets the Sheer Force boost, making it very powerful. While its attacking stats might not be the highest, it makes up for it with incredibly high base power hitting multiple foes.
Ability: Poison Point Item: Expert Belt EVs: HP 252/Atk 252+/SpAtk 4 Moves: Dragon Pulse (coverage) Earth power (STAB) Superpower (Attack against Ice type Pokémon) Crunch (Attack against Psychic type Pokémon

The Olympia Expo
September 18, 2007, 01:09:18 PM »
This might be a good time to start this topic, so here's some pre-expo info that some of you may find useful. If you are an exhibitor and have a specific question, post it here and I'll do my best to give you a proper answer.
Most of the info you need can be found on the MrOlympia.com site, but feel free to fire away if you need a clarification or if a topic is not addressed on that site.
Interesting to note that the Mr Olympia Expo with an expected attendance of 20,000 paying customers is the third largest event happening in Las Vegas during the month of September.
The Mr, Olympia is only surpassed by the American Society for Industrial Security with 25,000 expected attendees and the Interbike Expo / Annual Fall Show with 22,000 expected.
There are no figures yet for the estimated drop that the Oly fans will leave at the tables and slot machines.
A company called Champion will be setting up the LVCC South Hall site for the Olympia Expo on Wednesday, 26 Sept and the exhibitors can commence delivery of their equipment into the South Hall Convention Center site on Thursday morning.
Each exhibitor will be directed to an area (possibly Loading Bay #26 on the south side of the South Hall) where their goods will be weighed and delivered to the appropriate booths.
The LVCC is a union site so all moving in and moving-out services will be charged to the appropriate credit card of the company concerned and all services rendered must go through the proper channels.
Tipping is NOT allowed and exhibitors cannot carry anything with a weight of 30+ lbs into the facility without going through the proper loading procedures.
Exhibitors receive two entry badges per booth and additional badges are available for a fee of $10 each.
I received some emails concerning a good place to do some fine dining within the immediate area of the LV Convention Center Area. If you want to impress your date or simply treat your better customers to a fine meal - try Piero's directly across the street from the convention site (on Convention Center Drive and directly behind "The Beach"). They open at 5:00 pm for dinner only and it would be best to make reservations. It's fine dining in the old style LV tradition.
Any questions or corrections? Fire away!

Thanks, Ron .... Have been receiving requests for information on good dining spots that are within the Convention Center area so here are a couple more besides Piero's as mentioned above .... This info is posted for you folks who have the bucks and want to have a couple of great Las Vegas meals during this forthcoming Oly weekend.
I haven't eaten at all of these places, but eveyone I know who has, swears by each of them.
Most of the big entertainment type folks (Hollywood and LV) rave about a restaurant named "Pamplemousse" (means "grapefruit" in French) which is a couple of blocks north of the LVCC on Sahara Boulevard. A good walk or a short cab ride.
Don't let the outside of this place scare ya. It looks like an old, run down, former bungalow ready to be demolished but it is supposed to be one of the finer places to fine dine in the entire state of Nevada. Inside may remind you of a small and colorful country cottage in France but don't let that scare ya either.
If you are in the restaurant business you've more than likely heard of the name - George LaForge. This is his place and it caters to the Stars as well as the "Little People". No prices on the menu but it is resonable. Check out their website before deciding ot make a reservation. Just google "Pamplemousse Las Vegas".
Good place to take a date or have a small business function, but if you're merely out with the boyz having a good time in LV, this place is not for you.
The Las Vegas Hilton on the north side of the LVCC has a great Japanese restaurant (national chain) called Benihana's. it is set in a huge room that resembles an Asian village and the chefs do the cooking at your table in a very entertaining way. You may be sitting with strangers (stranger than yourself even) who have come to have a great meal and be entertained by the showman chefs who often claim to have a Samurai heritage, but just have some Saki with your meal and you'll all be getting along perfectly well by the time the entre is served. (No Saki for the Samurai sword guy though.)
I'll bet you a dollar to a do-nut that "Envy Steak House" will do a good business after the Friday and Saturday nite expos. It's supposed to be one of the better steak houses in LV and it's only a few steps in the southern direction (you don't even have to cross a street) in the Renaissance Hotel that is almost ajacent to the South Hall of the LVCC. Steak prices start in the $50 bracket though, so don't go with an empty wallet.
And just across the street from the South Hall is the rear entrance to the Wynn - the rear of the Wynn Golf Course that is. I've never entered that way but I think that they provide a small shuttle service from that gate on occasions, so you might want to check it out if you really want to spend some hard earned cash and dine in one of his better restaurants. I'd just advise against ordering a deli sandwich at the small deli place by the Sports Book - one of the worst and most expensive Pastrami sandwiches I've had anywhere. Best bet is probably the SW Steakhouse in this fine establishment. (Reservations a must!)
I spoke to a few Oly exhibitors and they just don't want to drive up to the Orleans or attack the Strip after a full day on the Expo floor, so these three restaurants are some of the best in the LVCC neighborhood. These places are usually always busy on weekends, so choose one or two and make reservations beforehand.
Not too fancy but just as good and a little further south on Paradise (across from Terrible's and you don't have to get involved with that stop and go Strip traffic), you'll find PF Chang's for great and inexpensive semi-Chinese/American meals. Great place to eat and drink before attacking the Strip or merely walk up to the next cornor and do your attacking at the Hard Rock - Run silent, run deep!
Final advice .... Don't drive on the Strip at night unless you want to waste your time sitting in traffic. If you're staying at one of the hotels near the LVCC (Renaissance or the Hilton) and want to visit the Strip - just hop on the monorail at the Hilton terminal and you'll get to any Strip property within a matter of minutes. But remember - it doesn't run all night.
If you're booked into the Orleans, learn the shortcuts from the CC to the Orleans. There are actually three!
Where do you plan to be fine dining, Ron!? Actually the Prime Beef in the Orleans coffee shoppe ain't too bad. And the buffet there is one of the better buffets in town considering the price.

Here's my response to "Breakfast" spots ......
If you are driving to the Expo from the Orleans, I'd suggest one of two options .....
Breakfast at the Orleans Hotel in the Courtyard Cafe .... the hotel coffee shop. Decent meal at a decent price and you won't have to stop along the way, but if you have the time to stop along the way, drive down the Strip (usually no traffic during the pre-noon hours) and pull into the PepperMill parking lot (2985 S. Las Vegas Blvd). This great 24 hour dining spot is on the Strip but very close to the LVCC (actually aroiund the cornor and one long block east) and serves great meals and big breakfasts and is one of the most popular places on the Strip. Check out the bar in the back and see if you can recognize it and what movie it was featured in.
That parking lot right outside their front door comes in mighty handy.
You should try this place at least once while you are in town. If it's busy, just grab a counter seat and let the waitress know that you are in a hurry to eat and get back to work then ask the fastest way to get to the convention center ...... (no further than 45 seconds east).

Another question from an Olympia exhibitor .......
"Have you seen any outdoor advertising for the Olympia around town?"
Yes! I've seen at least four billboard ads while driving around Las Vegas. One was a huge sign by the UNLV that simply said "OLYMPIA".
Another billboard had more info than that with a picture of one of the contestants whom I did not notice, but I drove by too fast to give it too much notice. That billboard was along one of the Orleans side streets by Seamless Men's Club.
The best Olympia billboard was seen by the airport. It's one of those new Lamar electronic billboards that can be best described as a huge TV screen that is as bright as any TV you've ever seen even in broad daylight at high noon. The Olympia portion shares that electronic billboard with other advertisements so you'll only see it if you drive by while it is "on screen". This is definitely the future of outdoor advertising and doesn't come cheap and you'll be seeing a lot more of it while driving into town along the freeway once you cross the Cal border and get within 7 miles of the Strip.
Another exhibitor question ..... "Have the hotels raised their rates as a result of the Olympia gathering?
Yes! They sure have and this town should be packed that weekend. In some cases the hotels will even raise their buffet prices by a buck or two or even more in the classier joints.
Another Olympia fan question ....... "Where is the cheapest place to gamble?"
Easy to answer that one. On weekends starting on Thursday late afternoons, most of the casino pit bosses walk around the tables increasing the minimum bets from $5 to $10 or even $20 because the casinos know that there will be enough people in town and pack the tables even when the minimum bets are high.
But here are a couple of suggestions if you are hitting town with a limited gambling bankroll.
Slots O Fun next door to Circus Circus has one $1.00 minimum Blackjack table open 24 hours a day even on weekends. The problem is that it is always packed unless you get there early enough or one of the players loses his $20 bankroll - and that's hard to do when playing this table.
Other tables in SLots O Fun have $3 and $5 minimums, so it's a good place to have some fun at the tables without going completely broke.
They also have $2 and $3 craps. And Slots O Fun is the one place in town where the cocktail waitress offers you another drink before you are half done with your first, or second, or third, or fourth, etc.
The smaller downtown casinos have relatively small minimums too, but you'll have to look around for a $3 blackjack table and usually the Craps minimum is $5. Last look the Craps in GOlden Gate was $3 minimum. If it's any higher I suggest that you simply get one of the great sandwishes at the counter back there by the end of the bar. And have a ninety-nine cent shrimp cocktail wile you're at it. (The second best deal in town!)
One dollar Craps is offered midweek only between 5 pm to 10 pm at the Western Casuria about one block east of the Strip on Flamingo. Best Craps deal in town and a real nice joint to learn the game in. After that walk across the street and try the steak or prime rib dinner at Ellis Island. Looks like a LV original but that steak is still rated as the best deal in town by everyone who rates such things.
For ten-cent Roulette you have to drive over to Henderson (Sunset Road) and enter a not too classy little casino called Klondyke or Sunset Klondyke.
Good game for a dime and you'll probably depart with a win of $3.50. (If you are lucky!) They usually offer free spaghetti meals at this place so check the menu on the way in. Blackjack minimums should be either $2 or $3 or possibly even as low as 1.
At the Orleans, they'll probably have one $5 blackjack table and the rest will be $10. And possibly the same for Craps, unless the house if filled to capacity and they feel that they can fill the tables with higher minimums.
One last suggestions ...Crazy as it sounds .... If you play roulette, wait until the very last second or two and place a minimum bet on any number that isn't covered by the other players or place a minimum bet on that number that has the fewest chips. Watch for a few spins before buying in and then see if this system is valid before losing your money. 8 out of 10 times, this system is valid. Crazy!

Welcome, Jer! I'll be in and about Booths 1113 and 1114 but I'm an old fart and may sneak off to have a beer or two before heading back to the Orleans for a Friday night group dinner and the Prejudging in the Arena.
I hope you all note just how much effort the Orleans Arena personnel put in to ensure we are all well taken care of while in their darm nice facility. They more than likely will ask you to fill out a form describing your visit (pro or con) and then offer you a free drink or a bag of popcorn for turning it in to the proper person. They really do want everyone to enjoy the visit within the perameters as established by the promoter. (Best not to take any camcorders to the event.)
Someone asked for more details about the Las Vegas Monorail ..... If you are staying at one of the Strip hotel/casinos. you can get to the LVCC best by hopping on the monorail. The monorail travels to some of the major east-side Strip hotel/casinos starting at the MGM Grand and heads north to the Convention Center. It's roughly a ten minute ride (or less) if you got on at the Grand. The only problem wih the monorail is the long walk through the casinos to get to the stations.
I haven't been on it lately but you can figure $5 for each entry (once on you can ride it all day if you don't exit). You can find coupons in the hotel magazines that will allow you to ride all day (get on and get off all day) for a $9 fee.
There is a LVCC monorail station so it's only a short walk to South Hall once you get off.
The ride takes you along the rear of the casinos on the east side of the Strip and around the south and east sides of the Wynn Golf Course (18 holes - $500 plus cart fees) and then stops at the Convention Center. Get off there and follow the larger than life looking crowd to the South Hall.
This is definitely the easiest and most convenient way to get to and from the Convention Center South Hall.

Someone inquired about the current weather here in LV and what is expected during the Olympia timeframe .... (Bring a sweater. You might need it if you are unacustomed to 60 degree temps and sometimes the casinos turn the heat way, way down to cool off the hot dice when the "Do's" are surpassing the "Don'ts".)
Last night we had one hell of a great thunder and lightning storm with heavy, almost tropical, rains. When that happens a lot of the streets get flooded and local traffic gets bogged down a bit and there is always a car or two floating across some flooded intersection. The Pit Bosses usually go from table to table warning the gamblers to be careful on the way home and watch out for flooded conditions on the roads. Heed that advice when the word goes around.
But it looks like we'll be having some great weather during the Olympia. Here's the weather report ....
Wed / Sep 26 / Sunny / 88°/68°
Thu / Sep 27 / Mostly Sunny / 90°/67°
Fri / Sep 28 / Mostly Sunny / 90°/63°
Sat / Sep 29 / Sunny / 90°/69°
Sun / Sep 30 / Sunny / 91°/67°
Mon / Oct 01 / Sunny / 91°/67°
But if we do have some unanticipated rain, remember that FLASH FLOODS are common in the desert and on the desert roads.

Someone asked a non-expo related question, but I'll do my best to answer it here ....
The Question : Does the Orleans offer transportation from the Airport to the Hotel and, if not, what is the best and cheapest way to get from the airport to the hotel?
Answer : The Orleans does have limo service for the high rollers or anyone who makes arrangements for such limo service when placing a reservation. But such arrangements must be made before you arrive in LV.
I haven't checked recently but a while back you could get limo service curbside once you departed the terminal. It's best to ask one of the Red Caps if a limo is available to take you to the hotel. A couple of years back these airport limos would take one or two different parties and allow each to pay have the fare. I am not positive if that limo service is still available at the airport.
If you take a taxi to the hotel, the driver has two options .....
The fast way
The short way
The "short way" is less expensive in most cases, so just let the driver know which way you want to go. The fast way in most cases is through the tunnel and along the freeway and off at Flamingo while the "short way" is down Swensen/Paradise and west on Flamingo.
If a few bucks is important to you, ask the driver what the price difference is and then decide. He'll probably mumble something untranslateable becasue he wants to take the fast route in order to get back to the airport for his next pickup.
The ride from the airport to the Orleans is roughly 10 minutes or less unless there is lots of traffic.
And don't stop along the way to buy beer or wine or liquor. The Orleans has one of the best priced liquor stores in Las Vegas.
If you see me at the airport, ask for a ride. I'll be picking up friends throughout the day and evening. I'll squeeze you in if it's at all possible.
Saw some of the female contestants today. It's gonna be an interesting event!
Have a good trip!

The Expo drew a lot of fans each day but definitely more on Friday while Saturday saw them come in a spurts throughout the day depending on the mode of transportation.
And it sure ain't cheap to participate in one of these expos as an "exhibitor".
Most of the booths were set up on Thursday by professinal and experienced "booth set-up companies" and it was interesting to see how they worked. One company I spoke with had an individual deliver and set up a booth and remain on site for three days from set-up to tear-down and his per-diem was over $600 per day.
And that was just part of what each exhibitor shelled out ......
The expo arena was set up so you had to deliver all your expo gear to a loading dock so that the union personnel could "weigh it in"and set the appropriate union fees to unload at the loading dock and deliver to the appropriate booth inside.
We didn't have too much gear to move but the union fees still amounted to way over $500.

The Expo was *much* better this year than last.
I think.
I know traffic on Saturday between the Orleans and the LVCC was a breeze compared to last year. Commute time was about 12 minutes vs 30+ minutes in 2006.

New York Islanders Tickets

Preseason: New Jersey Devils at New York Islanders | FROM $43 |
New York Islanders News: Regular Season and Preseason Updates
2013 Stanley Cup Playoff Team - New York Islanders
In the end, the New York Islanders may have no one to blame but themselves. While the team has started a #BELIEVE campaign to stoke a thirsty fan base's enthusiasm for their spot in the 2013 Stanley Cup Playoffs, the Islanders' No. 8 seed earned them a pairing with the Eastern Conference power Pittsburgh Penguins. The Penguins had high expectations for the 2013 NHL Playoffs before their trades provided them near unprecedented depth; however, the New York Islanders' trouncing of the Penguins at the Consol Energy Center early in the season provided the most evident spark for the Pens that they needed to refocus if they hoped to succeed. The two teams met four more times in the 2013 NHL season, and the Islanders lost all four times. While the young and talented Islanders may have surprised some people by making the 2013 NHL playoffs, that first victory against Pittsburgh made certain that the Pens wouldn't take this Long Island crew lightly ever again.
But this is the second season, and the inexperienced New York Islanders are led by MVP candidate John Tavares and #BELIEVE they can do anything. While the Islanders' recent postseason resume is underwhelming, there was a time when they were a dominant NHL postseason force, with a streak of four straight Stanley Cups ending 30 years ago. Twenty years ago, the Islanders upset the President's Trophy winning Penguins in the first round; no one gave them a chance then, maybe - just maybe - this year's team can do it again. The regular season record and the Stanley Cup Playoffs Game 1 result may not seem to show that, but this series won't be won because of the regular season or deep rosters on paper or one bad game. Goalie Evgeni Nabokov has over 80 games of playoff experience, and this New York Islanders team has front-line talent and a potent power play. The first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs is a race to four games. Are the Islanders fast enough this year, or are they just gaining postseason seasoning for a future Stanley Cup run?
New York Islanders Stanley Cup Playoff Opponent
The New York Islanders are due to move to Brooklyn's Barclays Center in after two more years (beginning 2015-16 season), but for now their home ice remains the confines of the Nassau Coliseum. The Islanders lost both games they hosted versus the Pittsburgh Penguins in the 2013 NHL regular season, and they will have to defend their sheet if they hope to get an upset in round one of the 2013 Stanley Cup Playoffs.
Date | Winner | Score | Venue |
1/29/2013 | Islanders | 4-1 | Consol Energy Center |
2/5/2013 | Penguins | 4-2 | Nassau Coliseum |
3/10/2013 | Penguins | 6-1 | Consol Energy Center |
3/22/2013 | Penguins | 4-2 | Nassau Coliseum |

Ronald Steele's got a ticket on a roller coaster.
Without Ronald Steele, this isn't a top 10 team. Without him, Bama might not even be NCAA-tournament caliber right now.
But Ronald Steele's balky knee won't be acting up forever. And close escapes against inferior teams, like last night's grinder against Louisiana-Monroe should be a thing of the past. It sounded like a brutal game, at least the part I listened to after being, um, distracted by other things.
The obvious good news is that the Tide won with Ronald Steele sidelined and Jemareo Davidson having a brutal shooting night. Mykal Riley going off for 22 points certainly didn't hurt. In fact, he is making a strong case for starting alongside Ronald Steele, with Brandon Hollinger being purely a backup point guard.
Two other bright spots emerged from the box score. One, Alabama finally made its free throws, which was crucial in a game that was in doubt until the last few minutes. 19-for-24 is a great showing, and Alonzo Gee (6-for-8) was the only player to miss twice. Also, it was nice to see 12,268 people found something better to do than play track the university airplane for a night.

The amount of money that you'll need when you retire depends on your lifestyle. In general, experts recommend planning to save enough money to replace 60 to 80 percent of your working income in retirement. This figure comes from the Employee Benefit Research Institute.
The amount of money that you'll need is also affected by inflation. Inflation is the process through which the cost of living rises over time. It's a good idea to factor in inflation when you estimate your retirement income needs.
To determine how much money you'll need when you retire, use the FINRA retirement calculator. Another useful tool is the Social Security Administration's benefit calculator. This calculator can help you determine how much social security income you can expect. Want to be a millionaire before you retire? Use the online calculator "Becoming A Millionaire" to determine how much you need to set aside each year to become a millionaire.

Last year I read a story about a man who lives in Florida. His young daughter had some physical and mental problems, but she attended the local elementary school. Over a period of time some of the kids in her school found it amusing to pick on this little girl.
Then one day, the kids on the bus were particularly cruel to this girl and her father got on the bus and yelled at these kids after the girl pointed them out. The man was arrested and charged with a host of violations.
I was struck by this story from two sides. As a police officer, I understand that we cannot allow adults to board a school bus and yell, scream and threaten any child. Based on that understanding, it was clear that his arrest appears to be appropriate. He lost his cool and reacted very badly.
The other side of me, the father side, felt some type of empathy with this man. His daughter was being picked on, or "bullied" continuously and the school system did nothing about it. He was wrong to get on the bus and verbally attack the kids who attacked his daughter, no question about that. But I get the sense he was trying to protect his child.
This story highlights a larger problem, the problem of the bully.
Many school systems now actively train their teachers and teachers' aides to identify any type of bullying and put a stop to it. I know in our area, most of the school districts have some type of training on this topic. Unfortunately bullying still goes on.
It would be easy to simply write this off. We all knew a bully in school, the guy or girl that taunted the skinny kid, or the poor kid, or the kids who were different in whatever way, or the girl that didn't have the nicest clothes.
For many of us, as long as the bully wasn't targeting us, we let it go, grateful we were not on the receiving end of the bully's rage. We lived through it. It's a part of life, it'll make you tougher, right? I know some people believe that. I don't agree.
I remember watching a girl in the sixth grade that was tormented by quite a few of the kids in the school. Her name was Kelly. At first it was just mean names they called her, then she was shunned, then it was a shove here and there.
I didn't see any difference between her and any of the other girls in the school. She seemed normal enough. When they started in on her she would try her best to defend herself from the horrible things they said to her. But the more she defended her self, the worse it got.
She told the teachers about it, then it got vicious. The taunting was constant, the comments about her parents, her clothes, her hair. The poor thing spent at least a part of every day in tears, alone.
To my eternal shame I saw this happen and did nothing for a long time. Over that year, the way she was treated made me sick. Finally one day, I could not remain silent. I had to pull together every bit of courage my 11-year-old soul could muster. As the group was ripping into her again, I said meekly, "Why don't you leave her alone?"
My attempt at stopping the attack was met with taunts to me about how much l must love her, how I must be a freak lover. This experience was painful and frightening and it didn't help very much. The kids still picked on her and she ran away crying everyday.
I wished I was stronger, but I was a kid. The bullies had strength in numbers and they were relentless. That year ended and we went off for summer vacation. In September, Kelly didn't come back to school and we never saw her again. I guess she moved away or went to a private school. I can't imagine that the scars left by the bullies went away any time soon. I know her torment still haunts me to this day.
The reality of the bully and bullying is that it does leave scars that last a lifetime. As an adult I know there must have been more kids who were just as upset by the way Kelly was treated as I was. It is not part of our human nature to see an innocent person attacked and think it's OK.
I hope Kelly managed to move on with her life and the bullying became just a painful memory that she was able to live with. I also try to forgive myself for not doing more to help her. Maybe that's one of the reasons I was drawn to police work, to protect the innocent and weak.
Many parents have no idea how their kids behave outside of their direct supervision. Bullying and being a bully is something that happens over time. Parents have to instill in their kids that being a bully is not the thing to do. As adults we have to change our view of bullying as "part of life."
Children are different, they are trying to find out who they are as people. Some kids do act strange and dress weird and have goofy habits, but making sport out of these innocent children is a tragedy and it is up to all the adults to identify this corrosive behavior and help put a stop to it. After all, who among us has not been the "weird one" at some point in our lives as we tried to find our place in the world.

Thank you for the kind caring person you are :) I so enjoyed what you wrote about bullying. I have been a victim of bullying and it does leave terrible scars that never go away. I wish parents would teach their children how wrong this really is but, when you have a grown adult bully who teaches their children to do the same you have a huge problem to deal with. Many adult bullies were that way when they were young and carry it into adulthood only to raise their children the same way. Bullying only forces the victim to live in constant fear which is so sad. I really hope the article you wrote on this subject reaches many people who will take the time to read and understand the message you are sending. Thank you again for the kind person you are :)

What an interesting, sad story. I am most disturbed by the beginning whereby you condone the father's behavior as wrong. He was right. That's what standing up looks like and acts like. This father in NO way should have been brought up on charges. So what he got on a bus and told the brats to stop. That is not illegal. Thus, with this mentality, the torture continues. I was looking for suggestions. What should this man have done? Tell us please. Sometimes you have to fight fire with fire. We in America are an unusual bunch of clowns. These bullies grow up and expect to have firearms because it's their constitutional right. so, this man used words instead of a gun. WORDS are our constitutional right too. Enough with this stupidity in America. Yeah, get a gun. You have a RIGHT to defend yourself. But this man can't tell these kids to get lost and stop? It's the same exact thing. And it is. At it's core, it very well is. Thus, everyone has the right to say STOP. Get away. NO. Your pity upon these folks is really, sadly, quite useless. What is the answer? Simple. Stand up for yourself and tell them GET LOST. Then tell a teacher. These kids are guilty of harrassment. Not the father guilty of standing up. Oh, yeah, it was a bus. Big deal. The kids thought the bus was a good enough place to bully, so, it's good enough to be told NO. The US is full of "not me" babies. What a tragedy that no one stood for this poor kid stronger.

I agree that it was wrong to arrest the father. The girl was being bullied, the bus driver did nothing, the school did nothing and obviously the bullys parents werent doing their job. So the father got on the bus and yelled at the kid. The cop then goes on to redefine it as "yell, scream and threaten", but unless he threatened the child why arrest him for defending his own kid. What if he had defended his kid at a public park? On the sidewalk outside the school?
Good for the father - he did what a parent is supposed to do, to protect and defend his child. I am shocked that after the adults in charge did NOTHING and the father finally steps in and defends his daughter, he gets arrested. What is that teaching our young people? That if you stick up for the weak and vulnerable one you wind up in jail?
Boy, you should have lived back in the day - then if a kid got out of line, his neighbors, the crossing guard, the school principal would all have straightened him out. Now adults do nothing but whine about the problem of bullying and a parent steps in to put a stop to it and he's arrested? Somebody needs to get their priorities straight.

The problem with bullying is people now use the victims to advance their own political agenda. If a person is bullied to the point where ther commit suicide, does it really matter if it was because of their sexual orientation? If a person was bullied to death because of their weight, religion, ethnicity, etc. is it really less of a crime? The 'Tyler Clementi Higher Education Anti-Harassment Act' is a slap in the face to victims and their families!

My kids are all adults now and to the best of my knowledge, were never bullied. Had they been, I probably would have reacted the same way as this father did. It was and still is my duty to protect my family.

One of the most exciting coffee maker technologies to hit the market is the single serve machine. They deliver a single precise extraction every time by just inserting a capsule or a pod and pushing a button. The ease, simplicity and diversity of these single serve machines have made them extremely popular. Not only do they make espresso but most lines have expanded their inventory to include an assortment of teas and hot chocolate.
Camping With Coffee |
Deep in the woods, the stars above, and the hard ground underneath. Yes, my friends, it's that time of year again. When we throw ourselves at nature's mercy, risking exposure, bear attacks, and poor cell reception in the name of character-building outdoorsy fun. That's right, it's time, yet again, for camping. Surviving in the great outdoors is one thing, but surviving without coffee is another matter entirely. So, as you gear up to face the challenge that awaits you, I recommend that you consult the following list of items intended to increase your chances of making it out alive. ... |
