It was a romantic saturday night..
Rishi is siting in the drawing room..
R: Shrimati ji.. bataiye aaj kya order kare..? Kya khana hai aapko..?
I: Umm.. Aaj hum ghar ka khana khaenge..
R: Ji bilkul nahi.. Aap ko mei bilkul bhi khana banane nahi dunga..
I: Haan.. To meine kab kaha mei bana rahi hu.. Aaj khana aap bana rahe hai..
R: Mei..?? Shayad aap bhul gayi ke meine aapse kya kaha tha.. Mujhe chai ke alawa kuch nahi aata..
I: To aapki patni kis din kaam aaegi.. chaliye mei sikhati hu..
N she pushes him to the kitchen..
Indu sits there n starts instructing him.. Almost all the things are done only the rotis are left to be made..
Rishi takes flour n is about to pour water.. Indu stops him..
I: Rukiye.. rotiyan mei karungi.. nahi to hume aaj jalebiyan talni padengi..
she ties her hair n starts knitting the dough.. Rishi is standing there n starring at her.. He slowely goes near her stands behind her n removes the clip from her hair.. Her hair opens n is flying coz of wind.. Rishi rubs his face in her hair.. Indu is not responding but enjoying all this..
He slowly puts his left hand around her waist n pulls her closer.. She still has both her hands in that dough.. rishi slides his right hand over hers.. N puts in that dough..
In this process he comes more closer to Indu.. He kisses on the lower part of her neck.. Her body shivers..
She puts her hand on rishis cheek.. N cares him.. (imagine rishi with sticky dough on his face)
She turns in his embrace..They look deep into each others eyes.. Searching.. The perfect eyelock..
They're lost in their own world.. Suddenly the door bell rings.. They're brough back into the world..
Rishi gives a irritated look while indu is all shy.. She turns away..
Rishi goes n opens the door..
Its Radhey..
R: Kya hai radhey.. Itni raat ko yaha..?
Shrimati ji radhey aaya hai..
Radhey is left with open mouth.. n suddenly he starts laughing loudly.. Rishi is clueless..
Indu comes there and asks whats the matter..
Radhey looks at her n understands everything.. Then winks at Rishi..
Both Indu and Rishi are confused.. Indu looks at Rishi.. he still has the dough on his cheek.. She gets the point.. She raises her hand to wipe n notices that even her hands are filled with it..
Shez all embarrassed.. By now even rishi got the whole thing..
Radhey laughs n says lage raho Rishi bhai.. mei kal aata hu.. jara der se hi aaunga.. jai mata di..
n special thanx to shona and sonie for suggesting the name..

BUFFALO, N.Y. - The Marist women's swimming and diving teams leads after the first day of competition at the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) Championship at the Burt Flickinger Athletic Center on the campus of Erie Community College. In a day of dominate performances, the Red Foxes garnered victories in five of the six events to earn a 99-point lead. Seniors Kate Conard (East Setauket, N.Y.) and Chelaine Eliazar (Honolulu, Hawaii), and junior Maddie Arciello (Missoula, Mont.) all collected individual titles.
The 200-yd. freestyle relay team of freshman Bridget Curley (Endwell, N.Y.), junior Emily Miles (Long Valley, N.J.), Conard and Arciello started the finals off with a come-from-behind win with a time of 1:35.57. Arciello's anchor leg of 23.17 helped the Red Foxes overtake Rider (23.71) down the stretch for a 0.09-second victory.
In the next event, the 500-yd freestyle, Marist had three swimmers in the Championship Final: Conard, Bonnie Orr (Fresno, Calif.) and Shannon Toal (Rye Brook, N.Y.). Locked in from the blocks in her first preliminary race, Conard cruised to a 6.71-second victory at 4:53.78 in the Championship Final; she was the top seed from the morning by 6.17 seconds. Orr earned a second place finish as she swam away from her next closest competitor by 2.56 seconds at 5:00.49, while Toal took seventh at 5:05.54.
The third event final was the 200-yd IM, in which three Red Foxes saw A Final action; seniors Katie Larkin (Huntington, N.Y.) and Erica Vitale (Sterling, Conn.) and Miles. In a close race, Miles overtook Larkin in the final 50 to earn second place at 2:07.51. Larkin came in 0.38 seconds later in third at 2:07.89, while Vitale finished in seventh at 2:10.12.
After two consecutive third place finishes in 50-yd freestyle MAAC competitions in 2011 and 2012, Arciello earned her first-ever MAAC individual crown with a 23.77 result in the sprint event. She cleared the field by 0.25-second margin. Her teammate Curley finished in seventh in the A-Final at 24.39.
In diving action, Eliazar took a page out of Arciello's book and finally broke-through during the 2013 Championships. After back-to-back runners up finishes in 1-meter MAAC events, the senior finished her six dive competition this evening with 230.04 points. Sophomore Kimberly Tobias (San Jose, Calif.), the top seed after morning action, finished in second with 212.28 points. In the Consolation Finals, freshman Renata Diotalevi (Madison, Conn.) finished first with 194.88 points.
The final event of the night was the 400-yd. medley relay, in which Kate Conard tied a school record for the fastest 100-yd backstroke. The senior opened up the Red Foxes' fifth win of the night with a 57.22 100-yd split that tied Sarah Wagner's 2011 mark. After Conard, the trio of Larkin, Miles and Arciello closed out the race to give Marist the 4.25-second victory at 3:50.64.
After the first day of the championship, Marist leads the way with 269 points. Rider is second with 170 and Canisius is third with 135.
The 2013 MAAC Championship will continue on Friday morning at 10 a.m., with the qualifying heats of events 17-26. The finals for the same events will be held Friday evening, with the first race scheduled to begin at 6 p.m.
Women's Standings (Through Event 11) 1. Marist - 269 / 2. Rider - 170 / 3. Canisius - 135 / 4. Iona - 103 / 5. Loyola - 100 / 6. Saint Peter's - 94 / T7. Niagara & Siena - 89 / 9. Fairfield - 79 / 10. Manhattan - 28

driving in snow
I am looking at a 2004 XLR and when I went to the owners manual that is online it states not to use chains.
Has anyone been able to put cables on without trouble?
thanks in advance
Re: driving in snow
How many Corvettes have you ever seen driving on icy/snowy roads with chains? Due to it's very low ground clearance, the XLR is definately not recomended for use in the snow. I've read some very negative posts from owners that have tried it with predictably ugly results. Hence the advice NOT to use chains in the owner's manual.
If you've ever driven an XLR, one of the first things you notice is how low they sit (meaning your visibility is a lot more restricted) and invisible you are to other drivers -especially if you're in their blind spots. Even with that in mind as I drive, I dodge cars frequently to avoid being side-swiped by lane changers. In inclement (rainy) weather, you really have to be on guard.
If conditions warrant chains, it's safer for the car (and you) to keep it parked in the garage. Most owners in the higher latitudes, where snow is prevalent from Oct-May, slap a Battery Tender on their XLRs and wait until the climate is more agreeable. If you're thinking of buying an XLR as a daily driver and you live in an area like that, you might want to reconsider.
Re: driving in snow
I live in an area in Southern California that may have snow at anytime and I just thought that I would ask. No reason to drive one if it will not meet my needs.
I'll just look at other cars, by the way this is no corvette. I have other collector cars and these are interesting but I still need to be able to get home.
Re: driving in snow
Probably a good decision. You're right, the XLR is no Corvette, but it shares the same chassis and much of the suspension system, hence my reference to the Corvette in relation to ground clearance.

Re: driving in snow
I drove our 2007 XLR the first winter with only one incident. In a fresh 8" snowfall, the vehicle simply hung up right in our cul-de-sac as I backed out. I had to tug it with another car (always carry a tow strap).
Otherwise I was amazed at the handling on icy and snowy roads as I drove between northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin, a regular 30 mile commute. Traction control and yaw control are excellent and after a scary experience with my Nissan Z, I would never have thought a light overpowered rear drive automobile could be so usable in midwest winter driving.
Again, the only stopper was deep unplowed snow. Otherwise it handles well on paved roads.
Re: driving in snow
Thanks MarcV. It is good to get usable advice form one that has to experience the white stuff!
Re: driving in snow
Even with Blizzaks, my V was all over the road last year when I was forced to drive it home from Indy. My situation was different from MarkV: Temps had been dropping all day, rain started, an hour later - changed to snow. I've driven in much worse in other cars, this was extremely dangerous. Thank God I was only 30 miles from home when the snow started; any further and I would have pulled over and called AAA for a flatbed. In hindsight, I should have called AAA as soon as I was within 100 mi of home anyway!Snake Bit Super Chilled Black Raven 2006 Cadillac XLR-V aka Elwood (Jake's brother)

LONDON/NEW YORK – British telecommunications giant Vodafone has agreed to sell its U.S. wireless joint-venture stake to partner Verizon in a $130 billion deal that would be the second-largest on record, newspapers reported Sunday.
Vodafone confirmed it was in advanced talks with Verizon Communications "regarding the disposal of Vodafone's U.S. group" but played down reports that the deal was complete.
A company statement warned there was "no certainty that an agreement will be reached" but said an additional announcement would be made "as soon as practicable."
The buyout would be second only to Vodafone's $172 billion acquisition of Mannesmann AG in 2000, according to research firm Dealogic.
Verizon's board of directors was to meet on Monday to finalize the terms of the agreement, which would see Vodafone sell its 45 percent stake in Verizon Wireless, giving the U.S. fixed-line company full control after 13 years of shared ownership, the Financial Times reported.
The daily added that Vodafone's board had already met Sunday to OK the deal, which the company said would "substantially comprise a mixture of Verizon common stock and cash."
The Guardian reported that the split between shares and cash would be roughly 50-50.
The Wall Street Journal called it the second-most-important acquisition of all time, after Vodafone's takeover of Mannesmann.
The U.S. daily claimed that the new deal would be announced "Monday afternoon," quoting a person close to the negotiations.
Created in 2000, Verizon Wireless operates more than 100 million lines and employs 73,4000 staff members. Headquartered in Basking Ridge, New Jersey, the company generated revenues of $75.9 billion in 2012.
Verizon has been looking to take full control of the joint venture for many years, but negotiations have floundered on the sale price, with the U.S. company hoping to pay around $100 billion for Vodafone's stake.
The deal is likely to be structured so that Vodafone is shielded from a hefty tax hit. Vodafone would get a tax bill worth an estimated $40 billion, Morningstar analyst Allan Nichols said. "But there are some ways around, and under $10 billion would be more likely," he said.

Numerical rebuilding of two trajectory points ( s and s) of the Fire II mission has been carried out to predict the radiative heat flux for nonequilibrium and close-to-equilibrium conditions. The simulations have been performed with eilmer3 in an uncoupled way and using a tangent slab method for the radiation transport. Different population models (QSS and Boltzmann) have been compared, and the influence of catalytic wall condition was taken into account. An analysis on the spectral range and on the spectral resolution has also been carried out.

Catching up on us.......
I want to thank everyone who gave us some great ideas and suggestions on my first thread.... Even of we hadn't wanted to move into the new house while we fixed it up, the weather here in Arkansas made it a necessary move.....our old house became unsafe. Once we moved in we began meeting our neighbors and have found some great information. About four years ago there was an elderly lady who lived here and a local church redid the house to make it easier to heat and cool. On the other hand we found to that this house only has 110 electricity coming into the house...lol
However, one of our neighbors is a retired master electrician who wants to pass time by helping us bring the house up to 220....and he even has most of the parts we'll need. So we ended up being very lucky
Why do you need more than 110? I mean, that's all a microwave, TV and a beer cooler require.....

Happy (BIRTHDAY) Weekend!/
My birthday, that is. Tomorrow I'm turning the big 2-5, and for some reason this birthday feels very significant for me. It feels like a milestone, much more than any other birthday I can remember. No longer checking the 18-24 box on surveys, no longer being in my "early 20s," no longer embarrassed to tell people my age. Science says my brain is now fully developed. My car insurance company says I'm less of a risk on the road. But the magnitude of this birthday goes much deeper than all that.
I feel different.
Maybe it's because I've always looked at 25 as a marker, long before I had a child's birthday to count the years that pass. It was a goal up ahead -- a finish line of sorts. I wanted to have X, Y and Z done by the time I was 25, including finding the man I'd marry, achieving specific professional goals and planning when to have the first baby.
Yet if I would have told my 18-year-old self where I'd end up at 25 -- if I would have met the little boy who would soon change my world, caught a glimpse of my soon-to-be-husband and soon-to-be-son walking hand-in-hand a few feet up ahead -- then I would never have stressed about anything in my life. If I knew that everything in my life would lead to this point -- personally and professionally -- I wouldn't have had a worry. No "what ifs." No "if onlys." Only this. Twenty five.
And maybe it's in this retrospective realization that I learned the most valuable lesson of my life: to let go. For the plan-out-her-life girl -- equipped with notebooks full of lists and timelines -- to release her grip and finally exhale. To crumple up my specific 10-year outlines and find myself surrounded by a much deeper, a much wider, plan that I simply could never control. For me, I didn't enter adulthood with a college degree or even when I birthed my child. It was in having my life completely uprooted, ripped from my controlling grasp, and rerouted in a direction I didn't know existed. And now I see situations, I see people, differently. I see life differently. Planning and stressing and controlling were so much of who I was -- inextricably linked to my ambition and goals -- and now I feel like I was given a folded up note with a secret scrawled inside. Sometimes things are better out of your control.
I am different.
So tomorrow when I blow out the candles, I'll be having a very personal moment with myself. A moment of overwhelming appreciation for my new perspective and my unexpected life. To a 25 that I could never have imagined.
And to happily letting my life lead me through the next twenty five.
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend, despite Hurricane Irene's path. And an extra special Happy Weekend to my sister who is spending her first weekend in China, volunteering with orphans for the next two weeks. A 16-hour direct flight -- can you even imagine?
This week's posting was a little spotty with Noah transitioning into nursery school, but I'm happy to report he had his first full day at school today -- without a single tear. So stop by next week for much, much more!
Here are some of my Babble posts from the week:
- Smart products to help with potty training.
- 14 stroller accessories you don't know you need.
- I've since decided that this is not for me after all.
- Would you like to get one of these in the mail?
- One of my all-time favorite newborn baby gifts.
- I can see the appeal, but this isn't for me.

November 27, 2008 2:00 am
The credit card industry was handed a two-week deadline by the government yesterday to agree a code curbing its imposition of interest rate increases or face a referral to the Office of Fair Trading.
The ultimatum came after the issuers had been hauled in for a meeting with Peter Mandelson, the business secretary, and Gareth Thomas, the consumer affairs minister. The talks, scheduled to last two hours, dragged on for almost twice as long as the government demanded stronger undertakings from the industry.
In a joint statement with the industry, the Department for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform, said the card companies had agreed to come back in a fortnight with a "statement of fair principles for risk based repricing" - the practice of increasing rates for groups of borrowers because of a perceived in-creased risk they will default.
The industry agreed to suspend its pursuit of bad debts for up to two months, where it had received formal notice that a customer was in serious discussions with a debt advice agency to agree a repayment plan.
The two-week deadline came after the government made clear it wanted substantive concessions from the industry.
Ministers fear the card issuers could exacerbate the impact of the downturn by increasing the financial pressures on borrowers. Gordon Brown, prime minister, warned yesterday that the government would "take whatever action is necessary" to ensure there were "proper measures to regulate the industry when people are being charged exorbitant rates".
Lord Mandelson said he would "have no hesitation" in referring the industry to the OFT, should the companies not "step into line and start treating people in a fair, responsible, consistent way". He cited as an example of "bad behaviour" card issuers raising interest rates, with no warning or alternative offered to borrowers.
The perception of unfairness has been exacerbated by the issuers' recent tendency to increase their rates as the bank base rate falls.
Credit card providers have increased the interest rate charged on purchases by as much as 5 percentage points since last summer, according to Moneyfacts.co.uk.
Some card providers have also been clawing back rev-enue by charging more for cash withdrawals and foreign usage and have put up balance transfer fees.

Activity Theory was developed by the Russian psychologists Vygotsky, Rubinshtein, Leont'ev and others, (see [2,3]) with work beginning in the 1920's. There is a thriving Activity Theory tradition in HCI studies in Scandinavia (e.g., [1]) and increasing interest in Activity Theory and HCI in other European countries, the U.S., [4], Canada and Australia, as well as continuing work in Russia.
Participants will learn basic concepts and principles of Activity Theory and will acquire practical skills for applying these concepts to the analysis of problems of human-computer interaction. Any researcher, designer or engineer who wants to understand how computers are used in the context of real activity would find the material useful. Those interested in HCI theory in general would also benefit from the tutorial.
We intend for participants to continue to learn beyond the tutorial. They will have the option of becoming part of a Web-based community that we will establish with threaded discussions, updates of new research and publications, background material on Activity Theory, and so forth.

Blood On The Yellow Pages
Kris Hagerman, 31, wants to revolutionize the $10 billion yellow-pages market. On Feb. 26, his company, Big Book Inc., will launch a service on the World Wide Web listing addresses, phone numbers, and business descriptions for 11 million U.S. businesses. It will also let viewers assign quality ratings to merchants as a guide for fellow shoppers, find stores within a specified radius of any location, and scan in-depth cultural guides to major cities.
Sounds revolutionary, right? But just to survive, Big Book will have to hit the ground running. A major battle is breaking out in the nascent online yellow-pages market. U S West Inc. has just launched a Web-based directory of businesses in the Boulder (Colo.) area, the first of a series it plans for 14 states. In March, Nynex Corp. will add new technology to its Web-based national yellow pages and start a major sales push. In April, GTE Corp. plans the official launch of its national SuperPages directory, also on the Web.
The stakes could be huge. These directories may be the future gateways to all kinds of electronic commerce services. And they could serve as the on-ramp into cyberspace for the country's 9 million small businesses. "We want to wire small-business America to the Web," says Deverix A. Horn, director of new media programs at GTE Directories Corp. "It's a massive opportunity."
The cost to merchants will vary widely. Big Book will let merchants list several pages of text about themselves at no charge. For revenues, it will sell space to national advertisers. GTE plans to charge listers $300 to create a simple Web display within its directory, plus $50 a month for "hosting" the data in GTE's computers. Nynex will also charge merchants to list, but those who pay premiums will get top billing when a Web surfer calls up a list of, say, pizzerias in Pasadena.
LOGOMANIA. The new directories will also compete on supplemental services. GTE will let consumers send E-mail--and perhaps faxes--to merchants in a particular business category--asking, for example: "Do you have the Acme ray gun in stock?" Meanwhile, all the yellow-page providers are scrambling to get their logos prominently displayed at the Web's most popular sites, such as Web directories and Netscape Communications Corp.'s home page.
Electronic yellow pages will never help a child reach the dinner table from a grownup's chair. But if Big Book and others have their way, many adult consumers could soon be letting their mouse, not their fingers, do the walking.

Publication Type: Book / Chapter
Publication Acceptance Date: 1/31/2006
Publication Date: 7/13/2006
Citation: Manthey, J.A., Kurowska, E.M. 2006. Modulation of cholesterol and triacylglycerol biosynthesis by citrus polymethoxylated flavones. In: Patil, B.S., Turner, N.D., Miller, E.G., Brodbelt, J.S., editors. Potential Health Benefits of Citrus. American Chemical Society Symposium Series 936. Washington, DC: American Chemical Society. p. 186-198. Interpretive Summary: Special compounds in orange peel, called polymethoxylated flavones, have been shown in a series of studies to lower blood serum cholesterol and triglycerides. An experiment with hamsters showed that these compounds were effective in lowering the bad low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol, and triglycerides. Other experiments showed that these actions were due to at least three mechanisms. These mechanisms involved the inhibition and transport of key parts of the LDL molecule. Another mechanism involved the activation of an important cell signaling molecule in liver cells which control lipid formation. Additional mechanisms by which the polymethoxylated flavones act to prevent cardiovascular disease are discussed.
Technical Abstract: Citrus polymethoxylated flavones modulate the biosynthesis of cholesterol and triacylglycerols via multiple mechanisms. Tangeretin was shown to inhibit the activities of diacylglycerol acyltransferase and of microsomal triglyceride transfer protein as well as activate the membrane peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor in the human hepatoma HepG2 cell-line. These modulatory effects subsequently inhibit the assembly and secretion of apolipoprotein B-containing lipoproteins such as very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) and the low-density lipoprotein (LDL). Nobiletin, but not tangeretin, inhibited macrophage acetylated LDL metabolism linked to the action of the specific class A scavenger receptor. This inhibitory effect blocked the formation of macrophage foam-cells which are essential to atherosclerotic plaque formation. In hamster feeding trials the polymethoxylated flavones dramatically lowered the serum total cholesterol, LDL+VLDL cholesterol as well as the levels of serum triacylglycerols. Total liver concentrations of tangeretin derivatives corresponded to hypolipidemic concentrations of intact tangeretin in earlier in vitro studies. If similar actions occur in humans, these compounds may be viable alternatives to the statin drugs to combat elevated cholesterol and triacylglycerols.

Earlier this year Microsoft acquired Sybari, maker of anti-virus and anti-spam solutions. FrontBridge's solutions do include anti-virus and anti-spam offerings but unlike Sybari, FrontBridge provides managed services. In addition to anti-virus and anti-spam services the acquisition will bring Microsoft the capability to offer email encryption, email policy enforcement for regulatory standards compliance, and email archival services.
Microsoft posted a statement regarding the future of Exchange Server in light of their intention to acquire FrontBridge . The company said that, "Long term, we expect you to be able to chose whether you want an on-premise or hosted e-mail solution. As part of enabling that vision, we see Exchange Server as software that can be consumed as a product to run on-premise or as a service that can be hosted for a customer on their behalf. By having all our capabilities available as a product and as a service, we will be able to provide greater value to a larger number of customers."

Smoke Free Ontario: What it means at the TD Kitchener Blues Festival
- Generally speaking, it is illegal to smoke on all restaurant and bar patios, whether covered or not. This restriction will be monitored by Kitchener Blues Festival personnel, and Enforcement Officers with the Regional Municipality of Waterloo-Public Health Unit (" the PHU"). The PHU considers a "patio" to include all areas that are licensed for alcohol, whether seating is provided or not. Patrons are encouraged to visit the following websites for further information, including the fines for non-compliance:
- "No smoking" signage will posted in key areas (entrances/exits) throughout the Festival grounds, and periodic stage announcements will be made regarding the smoking restrictions. Patrons must not smoke in any of the licensed areas at the following 3 stages:
- YNC Stage (City Hall – Carl Zehr Square),
- Downtown Kitchener BIA Tent Stage area (King Street and Frederick Street),
- OLG Clock Tower stage area (Victoria Park). A specific smoking area is being created at the OLG Clock Tower stage area.
- If Kitchener Blues Festival personnel observe a patron smoking in a prohibited area, that patron will be politely asked by Festival security to cease smoking and/or go to an area where smoking is not prohibited. Our aim is to "educate" not "eject", but if non-compliance persists, security personnel, or if necessary Waterloo Regional Police, will be asked to intervene.
Festival Accessibility?
Persons requiring accessibility requirements should contact us via email at [email protected]. Support persons require a full priced ticket for admission.

Kathryn L. "Kathy" Kehres
Kathryn L. "Kathy" Kehres, 59, of Diamond, died Saturday, August 9, 2014 at her home surrounded by her family.
She was born May 27, 1955 in Ravenna to Bruce and Goldie (McPeak) Slack. Kathy was a resident of Diamond for the past 36 years, was the assistant treasurer for Southeast Local Schools and a member of Deerfield Evangelical Friends Church, where she and her husband served as youth leaders for many years.
Survivors include her husband of 39 years Greg Kehres, daughter Emily Kehres of Cuyahoga Falls, sons Adam (Amanda) Kehres of Diamond and Andrew Kehres of Paris Township, mother Goldie Slack of Edinburg, grandchildren Jacob, Matthew, Brooke, Calan and Ella, sister Karen Warwood of Edinburg and brother Dan Slack of Edinburg.
She was preceded in death by her father Bruce Slack and a brother Larry Slack. Kathy will be remembered as a loving devoted wife, mother, grandmother, daughter and sister. Also for her fighting spirit and smile, that she had until the very end. She will be deeply missed by all of those whose lives were touched by knowing her.
Calling hours will be from 5 PM to 8 PM on Monday, August 11, 2014 at Deerfield Evangelical Friends Church. Funeral services will be at 10 AM on Tuesday, August 12, 2014 at the church with Reverend Jody Hill and Pastor Randy Heckert officiating.

(Shorts-Spicer-Crislip 330-296-6858, R 8-10-14)
Mr. Kehres and family:
I worked with Kathy when I was a fiscal consultant at SPARCC. I just wanted to let you know Kathy was a wonderful person. She was a devoted employee and did her job with honesty and integrity. She will be missed. You all are in my prayers.
Dear Greg, Goldie and family,
I will cling to the many memories of times that Kathy and I played together as children, attended youth group together at the Edinburg United Church, played flutes in the band and rode many hayrides together! Unfortunately, as life happens and we take different paths as young adults, Kathy married and I went away to college, our paths did not cross as often until recent class reunions. Kathy was always a dear, kind friend and I am blessed to have spent time with her. I can't imagine the hurt you are feeling, but rest assured that we will see her again, in our faith through Jesus Christ. I am sorry I will not be in Ohio for her services, as I have just moved out of state. My condolences to you and her children. God Bless you, Love, Carol Gibson-Bauman

"Mary" Has A Little Lamb
Well boys, I was cleaning out the spare bedroom yesterday and I opened this piece of Halston luggage that I had not used for years and an entire sheep fell out!
I hid that yarn well!!
me with tote
picture of me with tote is cuz my knitting store had a contest and I won. Not a bad tote. I need something to keep all the tons of little scraps together.. My problem is that I am not organized enough to know what the little tiny remnant is. So if its not cascade, it wouldn't felt, and stuff and so I'm not quite sure what I"ll do with all my little remnant balls and stuff. Any ideas? Thanks
felting weekend
Since OU had an off weekend, I spent the weekend felting. Had 2 purses and a pair of felt clogs to do. purse on the left is one from "Pursanalaties" I'm not sure if that's the right spelling. Its a combo of Cascade 220 and Noro Silk Garden, and the purse on the right is from Blacksheepbags and is called a "Boogie" Bag or something like that. It is just done in Plymouth Outback. The felted clogs are the fiber trends ones just done in cascade. The felting seemed to do much better in a top loader. I think that's how I'm going to felt from now on. I have a machine at my office. So I did continuing education and felted at the same time! Killed two birds at same time! Anyway, I'm happy with how they came out.

Tracey Ullman was interviewed on National Public Radio's Morning Edition today about her new knitting book.

I am on my third time 'round on this shawl - the first was an experiment to see if I could do it; the second was an attempt to figure out what I did on the first one (which I botched - though the result was nice) - see Thread on another forum for lots of babble regarding both).
This third atempt got side-tracked as well - it is pretty similar, but not the same. I need a secretary!
There are links to pictures of both the first and second attempt on the other forum. Hopefully posting this here will make me get off my duff and take a picture of the current incarnation.
new scarf
Here is the new scarf I started last night ... Winter is coming.
Thanks for all your nice comments to my yarns www.handpaintedknittingyarns.com.
Because it is for retailers, you are at a loss ordering. Easy: I offer only to all menwhoknit guys the drop ship price, to save big. Print the drop ship order form, fill in, fax or email.
(I hope, it is OK to say this here.) Thanks guys and have a good stitch.

My mother's bountiful Sonoma, California garden has been the cause of many of my cooking adventures. Such blog hits as Israeli Salad, Basil-Mint Pesto, and Zucchini, Corn, and Almond Salad were all direct results of her very green thumb. I've simmered her figs into Fig and Onion Jam (The Lazy Gourmet, p.158), tossed homegrown watermelons into countless fruit salads, and have fried and eaten more green tomatoes than I'm able to comfortably admit. Or to comfortably eat. But I do it anyway.
I didn't even remember that Mom had a persimmon tree when I recently found myself in possession of a large bag of ripe, firm Fuyus. I can't explain why, but for some reason I was overwhelmed with the very specific urge to wrangle them into a sweet and savory persimmon salad—like a chicken salad, but with persimmons instead of chicken. Unable to find a recipe that hit the mark, I recalled the fact that I am an actual cookbook writer, and therefore authorized to invent new dishes. What I wound up with was precisely the creamy, crunchy, sweet, salty, minty, spicy, chicken-free persimmon salad that I had been craving. As any kitchen experimenter knows, it doesn't always work out that way, but this one was a surprising and satisfying keeper. Enjoy!
- ⅓ cup plain yogurt
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon curry powder
- 4 Fuyu persimmons, chopped
- 1 cup unsalted cashews, toasted
- ¼ cup chopped green onion
- ¼ cup chopped fresh mint
- 1 - 3 teaspoons minced jalapeno pepper
- In a medium serving bowl, mix yogurt well with salt and curry powder.
- Stir in persimmons, cashews, green onion, mint, and jalapeno.

New York Rangers Coach John Tortorella has gone on record in the past with his assertion that home ice only matters in the NHL playoffs during a Game 7.
But with the Rangers facing that scenario tonight in their Eastern Conference quarterfinal series with the Capitals, Tortorella added a caveat to that statement before a sparsely attended optional skate at Verizon Center Monday.
"I think there's an advantage to the home team, but quite honestly, we're the visiting team and we really don't care," said Tortorella, who was noticeably upbeat and even joked with a reporter that he hadn't been reading anybody's coverage this postseason.
The numbers suggest history is not on New York's side. The Rangers are 0-5 all-time on the road in Game 7, including a loss to Washington back in 2009 after a third-period goal by former Capitals forward Sergei Fedorov. New York has also lost 10 of its past 11 playoff games at Verizon Center, a streak that dates to 2009.
But the Rangers have the memory of last year's Eastern Conference semifinals, when they defeated the Capitals in a Game 7 at Madison Square Garden. Washington is 3-8 all-time in Game 7, with a 2-6 mark at home. This will be the first time two NHL teams have played Game 7 in back-to-back years since Colorado and Los Angeles did so in 2000 and 2001
"We haven't had the success here we wanted to, but it doesn't really matter now. It's 3-3 and we play it anyway. It's us vs. them," center Brian Boyle said. "We're trying to win a game now. That's all that matters."
Center Derek Brassard, who leads New York with seven points and scored the lone goal during Game 6, said the mood Monday was loose, with the team's captains leading that charge. Center Brad Richards was the only notable skater on the ice after getting demoted to New York's fourth line Sunday.
Tortorella is hopeful Game 7 will be a breakthrough moment for some of his top end players. Richards, wing Rich Nash and captain Ryan Callahan have combined for just one goal and three assists through six games. Combined with New York's anemic power play this series (2 for 26) – "Obviously it's not the percentage you guys or people think you want, but we're aware of that," Boyle noted – a popular topic of discussion has continued to surround the lack of offense.
But Tortorella turned that critique into praise for his team's defense and goaltending this series.
"You guys give me a lot of [stuff] about, 'We've only scored 11 goals.' They've only scored 12, so I think we've done a pretty good job there," Tortorella said. "Here we are in Game 7, I think a few of our guys are due. I'm sure they're saying the same thing over on their side."
Mostly, though, the Rangers just want to drop the puck, despite the short turnaround of playing two games in a little more than 24 hours. Another Game 7 is here, and both New York and Washington are well aware of the implications at this point.
"Are there nerves going into Game 7," forward Chris Kreider said through his own laughter. "Yes. Everyone's excited. You dream of playing in these kind of big games."

I am trying to create combo box menu from the custom menu created at the "appearance menu" in the options panel. I was trying to use the wp_get_nav_menu_items but i got all confused.
Do you know any good resource or tutorial where i can accomplished this.
In other words what i am trying to get is an array of menu items to create a navigation.
Great. Thanks rvision.
I am wondering. Are we allowed to include lesscss.js on our themes it uses apache 2 license but i am little confused.
Can we use vimeo videos in the previews from videos under the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 license. For example big buck bunny video?
Thanks i will try Kaspersky.
I suspect i have a virus on my mac. Do you recommend any good antivirus.
Never thought it could be that easy.
Works great thanks.
I'm looking for a script or a tutorial on how to make a rollover preview like in the one in "ThemeForest" when you rollover the thumbnails.
Today a buyer contacted me because his antivirus detected a trojan on the files. What should i do on this matter.
Some advice would be:
- You are using a lot of colors, stick to a 3 as max: one for background, anohter for foreground and an one for accent.
- Font hierarchy is bad, headings and menu are too big
- You need to align everything use a grid system.
Browse the top selling items an awarded galleries (http://bestwebgallery.com/) to have a clearer idea.
Hope it helps

Characterisation of Proteinase Inhibitors from Canegrubs for Possible Application to Genetically Engineer Pest-Derived Resistance into Sugarcane
Nutt, Kerry Anne (2005) Characterisation of Proteinase Inhibitors from Canegrubs for Possible Application to Genetically Engineer Pest-Derived Resistance into Sugarcane. PhD thesis, Queensland University of Technology.
|Kerry Nutt Thesis (PDF 4MB)
In 1931, Mungomery stated "whitegrubs have been for years past, and still are, the worst insect problem confronting the sugar industry". This statement remains true to this day, with canegrubs costing the Australian sugar industry A$7.22 million in lost production and in use of insecticides. The development of a sugarcane cultivar with resistance to canegrub attack would be a valuable addition to the recently implemented canegrub management program. This thesis examined the possibility that natural inhibitors derived from canegrubs could be incorporated in sugarcane to reduce or prevent its destruction by canegrubs.
The research described here demonstrated that canegrub haemolymph contains inhibitors with activity against commercially purified enzymes and serine proteases found in crude midgut extracts. A cDNA encoding a potential canegrub protease inhibitor (DA10 12) belonging to the Ascaris family was cloned, but it did not have activity against the major canegrub midgut proteases. This protein does, however, still have potential for modification into a serine protease inhibitor suitable for use as a novel insect resistance transgene. The possibility of using haemolymph derived inhibitors as novel antimetabolites in a canegrub management strategy based on transgenic plants was also explored. The findings suggest that proteins with properties similar to those of DA10 12 will require the presence of a signal peptide and/or codon optimisation for successful expression in sugarcane.
The research outlined in this thesis is the first investigation of protease inhibitors in the haemolymph of scarab larvae, and is the first report of an Ascaris family inhibitor that does not inhibit a serine protease.

Haz clic aquí para leer la historia sobre Sylvia Earle en español
Cliquez ici pour lire l'histoire en français
Since that one expedition, for logistical reasons, no one has followed-up on the exploration of Piccard and Walsh. However, if anyone is going to do it, it will be the distinguished marine biologist, Sylvia Earle, ambassador to the world's oceans.
Affectionately called "Her Deepness," or "The Sturgeon General,"
Earle is a seasoned aquanaut who holds the depth record for
a solo dive: 1,250 feet. Earle co-founded the company, Deep Ocean Engineering, and is a recipient of numerous awards and honorary degrees. She founded the Sustainable Seas Project, which is currently conducting a series of explorations of the United States' marine sanctuaries, and she currently serves as a scholar and "Explorer-in-Residence" for the National Geographic Society. Most importantly, Earle is a tireless advocate for marine conservation and for fostering public awareness of the perils to ocean ecosystems caused by overfishing and pollution.
Sylvia Earle was born on August 30, 1935, in Gibbstown, New Jersey. She has always been motivated by an intense curiosity of the sea. Young Earle found that, during family
trips to the Jersey shore, a vast world of magical wonder
awaited her at water's edge. When her parents moved to
Florida, Earle turned the Gulf of Mexico into her own
backyard of discovery. Earle describes the experience as
"living on the edge of the great unknown everyday." At 16,
Earle attempted her first dive. More than 6,000 hours of
diving time were to follow in her brilliant career.
Some of Earle's diving pursuits are legendary. In 1968,
Earle was part of an expedition to descend into the ocean in
the first modern submersible without a lockout chamber.
Four months pregnant, Earle became the first woman scientist
to gaze through the porthole of a submersible!
Two years later, at the same
time that astronauts were landing on the moon, Earle participated in the Navy's Tektite Project. Funded jointly by the Navy and NASA, the Tektite Project saw Earle leading the first team of women aquanauts on a two-week underwater expedition where invaluable research would add to the body of knowledge concerning deep water eco-structures, as well as detail the effects of prolonged underwater habitation on the human body. During this project, she noted the damaging effects of man-made pollutants and global warming on delicate coral reefs -- a vital part of the complex underwater food chain. This observation confirmed Earle's fears about the human destruction of underwater ecosystems.
When queried as to her opinion of the greatest threat to the
world's oceans, Earle responded: "ignorance, lack of
understanding, a failure to relate our destiny to that of
the sea." Overfishing is one issue where Earle's
displeasure is most ardent. It is no longer shocking to hear
news of the many marine species being overfished to the
extent that their existence is threatened. One example is the sad case of blue-fin tuna which inhabit the Indian Ocean. Since the first blue-fin census in 1970, the population of these fish has shrunk to one-tenth its size! Another example of human depredation of the ocean is the method of shrimp harvesting. Shrimping trawlers scrape everything off the ocean bottom, including plants and other fish, simply to pick out the shrimp and discard the rest! Earle compares trawling for shrimp to clear-cutting an entire forest just to get the squirrels.
Earle is a proponent of sea farming. She considers the harvesting of wild fish an inefficient use of the marine food chain. She believes this to be a crucial time in the development of the oceans and our relationship with it. In her compelling and informative biography, Sea Change, Earle offers a blueprint for change that involves reversal of damaging governmental policy issues, the creation of marine sanctuaries, and awareness of the benefits of sea farming. She also advocates individual changes in eating habits. She, herself, no longer eats seafood.
As a result of her fascination with the dark depths of the
ocean floor, Earle started Deep Ocean Engineering with her colleague and former husband, Graham Hawkes. This firm was instrumental in the development of deep water robots and submersibles. The exploration of the Marianas
Trench has always been one of Earle's
goals. At present, the technology exists for a dive to
20,000 feet, a little more than half the depth of the Trench.
Earle has already seen what few divers dream of and she has attempted what few marine biologists could imagine. At
record-breaking depths of 3,000 feet, Earle has seen the
lattice-like patterns of brittle star fish decorating the
unexplored sea floor, as well as the dazzling
bioluminescence of deep water ecosystems. Earle likens jumping into the ocean to "jumping into minestrone: but all the little bits are swimming around." She often says that "every little spoonful of the ocean is full of life." Even below the reach of sunlight, ocean plants thrive, nourished by a process called "chemosynthesis," a counter to the process of photosynthesis by which land plants live. To Earle, who has spent countless hours in the company of sea creatures, fish are like humans, in that each one is different.
Over the course of her career, Earle has marked the devastating effects of man-made pollutants on ocean life. Earle describes the ocean as "a balance sheet out of balance." She believes that by telling people about the "symphony of life" that exists in the ocean, she will be able to make people understand how crucial it is, at this moment, for human beings to change the way they treat the seas. She says that one important impetus for our making drastic changes should be concern for ourselves, since the earth's climate is governed by the ocean. Ninety-seven percent of the earth's water is ocean, so it is absolutely crucial that, in order to to keep the earth a habitable place for humans, the oceans must remain as they have slowly evolved over the millennia: that is, with every spoonful still full of life.
Sylvia Earle's advocacy for the fate of the oceans makes her a true ambassador and champion of the world's most precious resource.
Sylvia Earle is currently President and Chief Executive Officer of Deep Ocean Technology and Deep Ocean Engineering in Oakland, California.

These resources allow teachers and students throughout the world to learn more about the Falkland Islands, its unique environment and fantastic wildlife enabling them to compare where they live to our wonderful islands.
The information is for children between 4 to 11 years and 11 to 14 years, and is linked to the National Curriculum for England and Wales, taught throughout schools in the Falkland Islands.
The structure for each section is based upon the units of work devised by the QCA (Qualifications and Curriculum Authority) and the Learning Objectives stated in the National Curriculum. The resources available are by no means conclusive, nor do they cover all of the required Learning Objectives simply because many of the environmental aspects of the Science and Geography curriculum require students to study their own local environment. An example is given in each section, with more comprehensive information available to download.
Primary Education: Ages 4 – 11
Key Stage 1 and 2
Children as young as 4 years old are getting hands on experience of their local environment, taking part in pond dipping activities and visits to the local beach.
The format for the Primary sector includes a number of Learning Objectives that have been identified within these units of work. For example, Unit 2B Plants and Animals in the Local Environment. To access described resources for this Unit, and obtain full information on the following further Primary Learning Objectives:
Full information on all Primary/Secondary Education Resources is available on request
Secondary Education: Ages 11 – 14
Key Stage 3
Older children have opportunities to study the different habitats and species common to each. Some learn about the main features of their local coastline producing walking guides to popular tourist destinations. Secondary school students focus on particular native species in order to learn about classification, reproduction and photosynthesis.
Students are also encouraged to undertake practical conservation work. A sixth form group here are planting tussac grass.
The format for the Secondary Resources is slightly different. Rather than suggesting activities for the students to complete, relevant Learning Objectives have been identified and the resources that could be used to deliver these objectives with a Falkland Islands focus are highlighted. For example, Unit 7C, Environment and Feeding Relationships. To access all described resources for this Unit, and obtain full information on the following further Secondary Units:

With the help of UK government funding, education and conservation charity Wildscreen, has been working to highlight biodiversity in the UK Overseas Territories through its online initiative ARKive (www.arkive.org). Based in the UK, the Wildscreen charity works globally to promote an appreciation of biodiversity and nature through the power of wildlife imagery. With support from Defra and the Overseas Territories Environment Programme (OTEP) – a joint programme of the Department for International Development and the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, Wildscreen has been profiling the rich and unique species found in the UK Overseas Territories (UKOTS) on ARKive for awareness-raising and educational purposes.
Included in ARKive's vast collection of stunning imagery are around 130 species from the Falklands. This includes endemic species, such as the the flightless Falkland steamerduck and ground-hugging false-plantain, as well as some of the island's most charismatic and iconic animals – the gregarious rockhopper penguin and conspicuous South American sea lion.
As part of the funding we have also developed three new teaching resources, using the species of the UKOTs as inspiration. The three new teaching resources for 7 to 16 year olds, explore topics such as food chains, biodiversity and conservation, and feature many species familiar to the Falkland Islands, such as the black-browed albatross and the macaroni penguin. The fun and interactive resources, which cover key science topics, are free for educators to download from the ARKive website. It is hoped that teachers and educators within the Falkland Islands will find these new tools for the classroom a valuable addition to their lesson plans.

Always carry.
24/7 unless there is a place I want to go where you are not supposed to carry, and sometimes even then.

As of 1:40PM today, 100% :)
Just picked up a new holster.

I will carry all the time and do my best to avoid the places I can't legally carry in.
I carry when ever i can, but sad to say not 24/7. The place i work for does not let us even keep guns locked up in the car on company property. So i can't put the gun on untill i get home from work. Some day i will own my own business and then i can carry 24/7 99% i hope.
The only time I am unarmed is at work.

Does your company have the right to search your car in the parking lot? If not how would they even know you have one locked in your vehicle? At least that way you are armed when you leave your house and when you leave work.
Just a thought,
MadDog :lol:
My company fires for such a thing. In these times, I would not recommend carrying to work with these rules. Even if it is secretly locked in car.
I Always carry, because you never know when you are going to need your gun. I also try to avoid the places I can\'t legally carry in.
When I\'m awake (and sometimes when I sleep), and not from the time I leave for work until I get home.
If I have pants on, I am carrying. When not, it is at least in the same room with me. Been carrying ten months now, and it\'s amazing how you feel naked without it after awhile. Just avoid the places which are off limits or posted - they don\'t want your money anyways. :)
I try to carry all the time. My main carry guns are glocks. I also have a J frame and a kel teck p32 for deep cover and pocket carry. But there are places where I cant carry. I always at least have the good old benchmade.
I carry every single place that the law allows, 24/7, without exception.
