The State of Real Estate Part Two
Corey Harris is a housing counselor with Neighborhood Housing and Development Corporation in Gainesville. NHDC offers foreclosure intervention counseling.
"We get individuals who are less than 30 days late on their mortgage to those who are even 18 months on their mortgages," said Harris. "So the foreclosure could take some time."
More than 100 people have signed up for one-one-one counseling. Harris says he's seeing a growing number of people who owe more than their house is worth and need to sell immediately.
"You'll have people that have either been transferred or they moved on with their life from the university. What they need to do is just sell the property and move on. Then you have those people on the flipside, that bought more house than what they can afford and now they're looking to downsize," said Harris.
There are options for those who may be headed toward foreclosure. One choice is a short sale. That's when the lender agrees to let the homeowner sell the house for an amount lower than what is owed. Another option is deed in lieu of foreclosure. This process involves giving your lender the deed to your home. Harris says homeowners should stay in constant communication with their lenders before it's too late.
"Don't wait to they're 60 days behind or 90 days behind," said Harris. "If you anticipate a problem, go ahead and call your mortgage company."
Florida lawyers are also stepping in to help through an initiative called "Florida Attorneys Saving Homes." Those who qualify get an attorney to represent them for free in pre-foreclosure negotiations.
"The attorney would assist the homeowner with negotiating some type of revised payment schedule, revised interest rate, that would enable the homeowner to stay in the home and avoid a foreclosure process," said attorney Melissa Murphy.
The program was launched in June 2008. Attorneys say lenders have been very receptive to renegotiations.
"The last thing the lender wants is to own that home and have the responsibilities for owning that home and the challenges of trying to market that home to a buyer in today's economy, in today's market," said Murphy.

whirlpool icemaker gone beserk
hi im a newbie here and i hope someone can help me....my whirlpool side by side icemaker has really gone besewrk:mad:.....it has ice forming all over the shelves in the freezer part.....the infrared light is flashing not sure if that has anything to do with the problembut sure would appreciate any help i could get :) thanks deb
If you have a light flashing you have a fault, if you have ice forming all over the shelves in the freezer it sounds like the timer is letting the water in and nothing else. I recently had problems with my Amana (Whirlpool) unit and found the solution at "Acme How To.com". My unit does not have the fault indicator but I found good instructions as to how to trouble-shoot my unit and got it running again. Good Luck, David
It's normal to have a flashing light because the light flashes when something blocks the optics and a flap blocks the optics when you open the door. Look inside the tube that fills the icemaker with ice and see if it is clogged with ice. If so remove the ice by squirting hot water up the tube and then replace the water valve. The water valve is most likely the problem but sometimes I see that the icemaker will turn too slowly or get stuck a few seconds too long in the fill cycle allowing too much water in. On your model it can be a little hard to tell because of the way you have to bypass the optics.

More-affordable legacies at UH and more in the news
The University of Hawaiʻi Foundation is now offering a more affordable option for donors who may want to have a University of Hawaiʻi community college facility or room named for them.
A "Five-Year Naming" program designed particularly for local companies and business leaders allows naming options for five years at a much lower amount than what is required to have a building named in perpetuity.
Read more about the new program in the September 2012 issue of Hawaii Business.

Ayahuasca: The Magical Brew of Amazonian Shamans
"Happy is he among men upon earth who has seen these mysteries…"
Homeric Hymn to Demeter
There are many local designations for the visionary and healing brew that goes under the common name of Ayahuasca. Yajé, Yagé, Remedio, or Purihuasca (in Colombia), Caapi, Hoasca or Daime (among Brazilian religious adepts), among the Shipibos it's Oni, among the "Amawaka" (Yora) Indians it's Oni xuma, the Ashaninka natives call it Kamarampi, whilst the Jibaros call it Natema.
In Peru it is generally known as Ayahuasca – simplified Spanish rendering of the Quechua neologism Ayawaska or Ayawaskha. The word can be translated as "Rope-of-the-Soul", "Vine-of-the-Spirit", "Vine-of-the-Ancestor", or "Vine-of-the-Dead". It is – at once – the name given to the Banisteriopsis caapi vine and to the magic, mysterious and visionary concoction which has been used ritually – from immemorial time – by the indigenous people of the Amazon basin, specifically for prophecy, divination, telepathy, shape-shifting, cleansing, diagnosis of an illness, and also for healing. A shaman specialized in the use of Ayahuasca is known in Peru as an Ayahuasquero (or Ayahuascero).
We shall use throughout these pages the word "ayahuasca" (in lower cases) to refer to the actual vine specimen-s, and the word "Ayahuasca" (in upper cases) when referring to the homonymous brew or concoction prepared by the shamans.
There exist many different varieties of ayahuasca vine, over one hundred have in fact been identified, but the most commonly used in the Northern Peruvian Amazon is the Cielo ayahuasca one, which is reputed to be the most suitable for initiations, can deliver profound visions (and purging!!) and is safe to use.
Among other varieties – which are for more specialized uses and normally only for very experienced users altogether – we have:
– Trueno ayahuasca (Spanish for "Thunder ayahuasca");
– Yana ayahuasca (Quechua for "Black ayahuasca"), or ayahuasca negra, in Spanish;
– Puka ayahuasca (Quechua for "Red ayahuasca");
– Yura ayahuasca (Quechua for "White ayahuasca");
– Allpa ayahuasca (Quechua for "earth ayahuasca"), or "ayahuasca de la tierra" (in Spanish);
– Rayo ayahuasca (Spanish for "ray ayahuasca", often another name for the "Cielo ayahuasca" variety);
– Cascabel ayahuasca (Spanish for "rattle ayahuasca", possibly the most potent variety known).
In Colombia, where there are the oldest vines of South America and where Yagé – a stronger, male counterpart of Ayahuasca – is instead used, we came across different varieties of this liana, like:
– Yagé gente ("People Yagé", used to connect with the spirit of the ancestors);
– Yagé tigre ("Jaguar Yagé", used by the shamans to shape-shift into a jaguar, or a tiger);
– Yagé oro ("Gold Yagé", which reveals the shaman the treasures of knowledge and healing of the rainforest);
– Yagé guacamayo ("Macaw Yagé) and Yagé cacería ("Hunting Yagé"). Employed, this last, for the specific purpose of "calling" game animals to be hunted.
The Ayahuasca brew – which has powerful consciousness-expanding properties, has strong antihelmintic effects (kills parasites) and is prepared by boiling for several hours (from six-eight to fourteen, depending on where and by whom it is made) the pounded, scraped stems of the Cielo Ayahuasca (Banisteriopsis caapi) vine, together with the leaves of the Chacruna (Psychotria viridis) green shrub.
At times, many other plant ingredients too are added, the most common of which are usually the black jungle tobacco called Mapacho (Nicotiana tabacum/Nicotiana rustica), the leaves of the shrub Chagropanga (Diplopterys cabrerana), along with few leaves of the powerful Toe' (Brugmansia suavolens) plant.
Chagropanga – also known by the name of Ojo Yajé – and Huambisa (Diplopterys sp.) may be combined with, as as well as being a substitute of, the Chacruna plant in the making of the Ayahuasca drink.
Toe': a plant of the Solanaceae family, somehow affiliated to the Datura – has beautiful bell-shaped flowers and is always used very sparingly by indigenous and mestizo shamans (vegetalistas) alike. It's a toxic plant which demands extreme care in preparations. Actual quantities employed may vary from shaman to shaman.
Each maestro has his or her own (often jealously and secretly kept) recipe, and hardly exist two which can be considered the same, for ingredients used, and time and way of cooking and preparing the brew. Don Mariano, for instance, interviewed by us on the topic, maintains that Ayahuasca can be prepared also with sugar (!!) or with honey, but that this will make the brew much stronger and more concentrated than normal, will deliver a strong intoxication, and therefore the quantity one would need to drink has to be very very little, almost tiny.
The Chemistry
The Banisteriopsis caapi vine is a source of various harmala alkaloids (like harmine, harmaline, and others) once called Telepathine and Banisterine – and all of which are monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOI). The low percentage (0.3% to 1.2%) of harmala alkaloids present in the Banisteriopsis vine is not enough – taken on its own – to trigger psychotropic effects, which may otherwise be slightly experienced with the intake of an higher concentration.
The Psychotria viridis – on the other hand – is a botanical source of Dimethyltryptamine (known as well as DMT and N,N-dimethyltryptamine), and is found and produced in small quantities also by our own brain. DMT alone would not work – taken orally – without the intervention of the MAO inhibitors.
The power of the medicine – "el poder de la medicina" – according to some Shipibo shamans, resides in the bubble formations that are produced and may be seen during the boiling of the brew.
The Brew: Plant Alchemy of the Amazon Basin
Of all identified species of Banisteriopsis in the entire Amazon basin, the most common one used by the shamans and vegetalistas in Peru, is the Cielo ayahuasca variety, believed to induce heavenly visions (cielo means "heaven" in Spanish). It also goes under the name of Ayahuasca amarilla ("yellow ayahuasca", in Spanish). There is also an immense variety of recipes for the preparation of the brew, which have the purpose of enhancing the experience of taking the Ayahuasca, boosting the mareacion (status of inebriation and intoxication following the drinking of the brew), in either length or quality/intensity, or both. Specifically, the Chagropanga (Diplopterys cabrerana), used more widely in the Colombian Amazon – is a powerful source of 5-MeO-DMT.
The essential ingredients of the Ayahuasca concoction in the Peruvian Amazon remain the Cielo ayahuasca vine cuts and the leaves of the Chacruna shrub. That is also the traditional Shipibo way of making the brew.
Shipibo shaman Don Mariano – being the very cautious and traditional maestro he is – maintains that using too many plant additives in the making of the concoction may not be the correct thing to do, as one would first need to properly diet with each and every one of these other plants, instead than taking them directly through the Ayahuasca brew without previous preparation. Doing otherwise – i.e. taking the short-cut of adding too many plants without "knowing" them first through a proper dieta – could only make the potential side effects of the brew stronger, and may only increase the mareacion (intoxication). Don Mariano contends that there is no intrinsic advantage in using other plants for the making of the brew, without having gone through a proper apprenticeship first, via the shamanic plant diet. However, in special cases, the brew can be made adding Sacha piña (Aechmea sp.) and Azucar huayo (Hymenaea sp.), among other plants.
A beverage prepared with the Ayahuasca vine cuts alone wouldn't normally produce visions (just purging), and the same would happen if one was to take a concoction prepared with the chacruna plant on its own. By means of an apparent very simple process – which reveals, however, at close range examination, an utterly sophisticated research and knowledge on side of the indigenous people who made first this discovery – the two plants prepared together work wonderfully in synergy and each one maximise the benefit of the other.
Ayahuasca and Chacruna work synergistically not only on the biochemical plane – making possible the assimilation of the alkaloids otherwise attacked by the enzymes present in our digestive system – they are also believed to be, respectively, a "grandfather" and a "grandmother" plant spirit.
One may be blessed by wonderful visions and/or amazing revelations, without ever having hoped to see or know anything, whilst others yet may see nothing at all. Nothing is granted with Ayahuasca. Many factors – visible and invisible, ranging from one's own attitude, psycho-physical conditions and sensitivity, to the respect of the dietary prescriptions, to climatic conditions, to the icaros sang by the shamans, to changes in the electromagnetic field and even the moon, to quote a few – may contribute in different degrees to the depth of the visionary experience given by the Ayahuasca medicine.
Ayahuasca & Health Precautions:
Learn more about Ayahuasca and potential health hazards. Please read it carefully!!
The Ayahuasca Diet
The avoiding of sexual intercourse and any form of sexual activity – from three days before, until three to five days after each Ayahuasca ceremony is of paramount importance, especially in light to preserve one's "distilled" sexual energy during the challenging, magical encounter with the Ayahuasca spirit. Don Mariano – interviewed by us on this matter – maintained a rather "provocative" position: "la Ayahuasca no se dieta antes, si no despues", that is: the Ayahuasca medicine is not to be dieted before [taking it], but after! Equally important is refraining from pork meat and derivatives (ham, bacon, pepperoni, salami, etc), for 15 days before your first ceremony, until at least 15 days after your last ceremony. You need to arrive at the ceremony in the most possible energetically pure conditions, in order to benefit the most from this experience.
Food to Avoid
Avoid altogether – for at least 12 hours before the Ayahuasca ceremony – any food containing stimulants, caffeine, spices, chilli, fats, oil, salt and sugar. And please refrain from having any fermented stuff like Soya sauce/Tamari, Soya beans paste/curd (like Miso or Tofu), beer, vermouth wine, aged/mouldy cheese (cheddar, Parmesan, Swiss cheese, blue cheese), yeast and all other food which is a potential source of tyramine, like mature avocados, eggplants, figs, grapes, pineapples, plums, raisins, prunes, broad beans, fava beans (broad beans), lentils, peanuts, dried milk, sour cream, yoghurt, buttermilk, chocolate, Vegemite and sauerkraut. Taking foods containing tyramine in conjunction with monoamine oxidase inhibitors, can trigger hypertensive crisis and migraines.
We recommend to fast on the day of taking Ayahuasca, or else, to only have a light breakfast and a very light lunch, and – by all means – no dinner. It will be also much beneficial to drink plenty of water, on the day of drinking the purge, up until one hour before the ceremony begins. However, no water must be drunk during the Ayahuasca ceremony: doing so will only make the side effects of the medicine last longer, with no visionary effects. Remember that whatever food you may take on the day of the ceremony, will most certainly come out of your body via the "lower" or "upper" ways, after drinking the medicine.

David Lucroy (1-1) started on the mound for the Pirates on Sunday and recorded his first collegiate win. In six and one third innings of work, Lucroy allowed two runs off of two hits, and struck out a career-high nine batters.
With ECU leading 6-0 in the sixth inning, the Pirates looked to be cruising to an easy victory. But St. John's came alive in the seventh inning, scoring three runs that required ECU Head Coach Billy Godwin to call out Jake Harris for a pitching change.
The Pirates offense responded with a run of their own in the seventh on a sac fly from Zach Houchins that scored Chase McDonald. Harris pitched the remainder of the game, allowing one run on two hits with two strikeouts to earn his first save of the season.
Freshman Travis Watkins led ECU at the plate, going 2-for-3 with two RBIs and one run scored. Jack Reinheimer led the team with three RBIs in the victory.
In the second game of the series on Saturday, ECU used a five-run sixth inning to win the series, 8-1, against the Red Storm. Both Philip Clark and Drew Reynolds had two-RBI singles in the sixth to blow the game open. Neither team would score after the sixth inning as the Pirates coasted to their second-straight win.
Starting ECU pitcher Ryan Williams got the win (2-0) after pitching eight innings and allowing seven hits, one run and striking out one batter. Andy Smithmyer came into the game for relief. Smithmyer allowed one hit and struck out one in the final inning.
The Pirates loaded the bases in the first inning, scoring Bryan Bass and Reinheimer to take an early 2-0 lead. A sac bunt by Bass in the second inning scored Luke Lowery to extend the lead to 3-0 before an RBI double by St. John's Zach Lauricella at the top of the sixth got the Red Storm on the board, 3-1.
ECU's Bass went 3-for-4 at the plate, scoring two runs and recording a RBI. Reinheimer was very efficient, with an RBI, two walks and a run scored in three at bats. McDonald recorded an RBI for his team-leading eighth of the year.
"Bryan [Bass] is our leader out on the field," said Godwin. "That's what you want out of your seniors, guys that come out and fight for you every day."
The Pirates opened the series with a 6-3 win that pushed their record to .500 at 4-4.
Leading 3-0 after the second inning, ECU surrendered two St. John's runs in the third. An error by Houchins loaded the bases with no outs, and a wild pitch by Jeff Hoffman allowed the Red Storm's first run. St. John's scored again on a fly ball to center that scored Ty Blankmeyer.
But the Pirates responded with an RBI single by Clark in the bottom of the third to take a 4-2 lead. The hit was Clark's first of the year. The Red Storm again pulled within one in the fifth inning, but ECU responded again with two runs in the sixth to reach the game's 6-3 final score.
"We came out with good energy and I thought we had a good approach," said Godwin. "I was really pleased with our approach and how we were aggressive on the bases."
Houchins led the Pirate offense, going 2-for-4 with two RBIs and a run scored. McDonald finished with one hit, a walk and two runs scored in three at bats.
ECU's Hoffman (2-1) got the win on the mound after allowing eight hits, three runs and striking out two batters in seven innings. Reynolds got his third save of the year in one inning of relief, including a walk and two strikeouts.
The Pirates return to action in Clark-LeClair Stadium this Tuesday to take on UNC Greensboro. First pitch is set for 5 p.m.

OH yeah,Just what i was gonna say.Get the Tissot PRS 516,soooo niceSub $500 is a category with immense opportunities. Firstly, I would eliminate all of the "fake" brands with inflated MSRP's and horological claims. Not trying to start a war, answers can be found in numerous other threads, but brands like Invicta, Swiss Legend, Sturhling, etc... should be dismissed out of hand.
Tissot and Hamilton are fine brands, especially Hamilton. Both lower brand a of the Swatch group, both use ETA movements (some made specifically for those brands) quality throughout their collections at all price points. The Tissot PR516 Chrono may be right up your alley. Other than some Citizen Eco Drives, this is the only quartz piece left in my collection, but I really do like it, especially in the field. Sapphire, metal bracelet with hidden deployment, I think I paid like $375 new from an AD.
Can't go wrong with Seiko, though I am not as high as some of the fanboys are on this brand. Citizen Eco Drives are a lot of watch for the money, some Bulova autos are nice. Orient makes a fine watch, their autos are very competitive price wise, though I have switched out the bracelets/straps on every Orient I have.
Do your research, narrow what you like as far as tastes and usage, and you will be fine. Also, while metal bracelets are fine, don't equate bracelets with value necessarily. Some VERY nice watches come on straps, it is not a means of cost cutting, oftentimes it is simply style or function.
Good luck, let us know what you decide upon! FYI, below is a pic of my Tissot for reference if that helps, I think it may be a good choice for you.

text: You probably don't know who Alan Scott is but every celebrity in the world and every person who wants to look young probably owes the guy a debt of gratitude. Back in 1989, Alan Scott developed Botox. In 1991 he sold it to Allergen for just $4.5M. Financial people have estimated that if he had held on to the secret he would probably be making $1B a year from his invention. He is not the person though who first noticed it made people look young. That was actually not discovered until 1992 when a Canadian doctor noticed people were losing their frown lines after being injected and published a study.

Book Talk: Beauty and darkness mix in mermaid tale
By Elaine Lies
TOKYO (Reuters Life!) - A princess, hidden away in a convent. A mermaid, saving a handsome stranger. The prince they both come to love.
This triangle underlies author Carolyn Turgeon's "Mermaid," an edgy new look at the Hans Christian Anderson's "Little Mermaid" that contains as well sacrifice, the threat of war, and the uneasy friendship of two women drawn together in spite of themselves.
The book is Turgeon's second look at folktales now more widely known in their lighter Disney versions. Her previous novel was a modern take on "Cinderella," including a fairy godmother who wanted to go to the ball too -- with far-ranging consequences.
Turgeon spoke with Reuters about her book, mermaids, and the old, dark versions of tales that are "in our blood and bones."
Q: How did you decide to write this book?
A: I'm attracted to fairy tales and that mixing of darkness with the magical, sparkly, beautiful part of them. I wanted to do something with the original Little Mermaid story but I didn't really know how to approach it. The Anderson version is really dark, depressing and weird. It's beautiful, I really love it. But unlike Cinderella, where it was easy to go in and look at the dark side of the story because it's clearly there but not really at the forefront, the Little Mermaid is such a weird, dark story I didn't really know what to do with it.
I imagined the princess, if she was stuck in a convent or something, which she seems to be in the original, and if she was missing her princess life. She'd be out in the garden looking out over the ocean and then, what if she witnessed that moment when the mermaid rescues the prince and brings him to shore. So I thought about that moment, and I could just see it and smell it and taste it, just standing there in that bitter cold, looking over that ocean and then seeing this miraculous thing happen. I thought about the weird dynamic that would be there, her looking at this gorgeous, strange, kind of grotesque but amazing mermaid, and the almost drowned man in her arms, and the mermaid having a bit of radiance and love in her face as she's looking over the man. How the princess would stand there and be attracted to the prince, but mostly through the gaze of the mermaid. All that yearning and longing going on between the mermaid and the princess, who sort of want to be each other. Then I had a way into the story and it just kind of unraveled from there.
Q: Was it fairly quick from then? Continued...

Janet Jackson Poses for Blackglama
Janet Jackson is hot for any age, not just 45. The successful R&B singer, sister of the late Michael Jackson, appears looking sexier than ever in a photo series on the Blackglama site, proving that she's still got the swagger she exemplified in her younger days.
Posing for Blackglama's 'What Becomes a Legend Most?' campaign, the 'Again' hitmaker rocks a series of flawless styles, even baring a bit of sexy skin in the name of the brand. In some shots, she's sassy, in others, sweet and seductive.
This is the second time Jackson has appeared as the face of the campaign, making her the first person in Blackgama's history to appear twice. CEO Joe Morelli explained Blackglama's decision to have the singer represent the campaign for a second time, saying, "It became clear in our discussions of who the Legend should be this year, that continuing the momentum with Janet made complete sense … She embodies glamour, luxury, and sophistication, everything that Blackglama stands for."
We have to agree — girl's got class!
Janet Jackson is currently out on her Number Ones Up Close and Personal world tour, with her next stop scheduled for Oct. 18 in Perth, Australia. To see a full list of tour dates, click here.

While we're starting to reach iPhone levels of overexposure here, yet more details have leaked about the BlackBerry Storm...
The company's first touchscreen device has already been seen from virtually every angle, been praised, criticised and now we even have a slideshow walkthrough of its key features and a user guide.
Other than pretty pictures what we actually learn of substance isn't all that great but there are a few points worth highlighting. Firstly, the Storm's virtual keypad will indeed be the much debated "response click" system which the company claims to be "a more natural typing experience - you feel as though you are pressing keys as you type." This is likely to divide opinion however with early leaks describing it as clumsy and giving the sensation that you are pushing in the whole screen.
Less debatable however is news that the Apple-made-infamous copy & paste functionality will be part of the Storm with a basic form of multi-touch used where one finger is placed at the beginning of what you wish to highlight, the other at the end and from there you can cut / copy, etc.
On the downside, these leaks come from the Verizon network so we don't get any updated timescales as to when we might finally see the Storm launched. That said, my spidey sense tingles when I think about last October / early November.
Update: News is also coming in the Storm will have its own App Store rival but sadly networks will have the final say on vetoing applications - even if they are first approved by RIM. Furthermore the store will let users browse, but not install applications directly - that must still be done manually.
Not so close and no cigar?

As Christians we are called to seriously reflect on the content of our faith, examine our lives and give witness of our faith to others. In a culture that seems to grow in doubt, indifferentism and open hostility towards faith, what should committed Christian testimony about the contents of faith look like today?
One answer to this complex question has been articulated in the writings of the late (d. 2008) Cardinal Avery Dulles. Dulles, drawing from Scripture scholarship, existential philosophy and fundamental theology, advocates certain indices for Christian testimony. His insights, if followed, could not only assist in the task of evangelization but also in how we carry out the closely related tasks of apologetics (defending faith) so that we may "give a defense of the hope that is within you" (1 Peter 3:15), and catechetics (systematic teaching of faith).
Dr. Steven J. Meyer holds a Sacred Theological Doctorate (S.T.D.) in Dogmatic Theology from the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas in Rome, Italy. He has a Sacred Theological Licentiate (S.T.L.) from the Dominican House of Studies in Washington, DC. Meyer also has a Master and Bachelor of Arts in Theology from the Franciscan University of Steubenville. He is an alumnus of St. Thomas High School in Houston where he taught for 14 years in the theology department. Meyer currently serves as an assistant professor in theology for the University of St. Thomas School of Theology at St. Mary's Seminary.

During a press conference earlier Digvijay Singh told reporters about the letter written to the Chief Justice, in which he has strongly objected to Additional Advocate General Pushpendra Kaurav defending the government in the court on the issue of MPPEB scam.
In the letter, Singh pointed out the "conflict of interest" as Kaurav had earlier represented Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM) leader V D Sharma in the High Court in cases related to admission in private medical colleges in his capacity as a lawyer and that matter is still sub-judice.
Singh claimed that Kaurav was "rewarded" and appointed as Deputy Advocate General and later as Additional Advocate General because of this and now he is defending the government and the Madhya Pradesh Professional Examination Board (MPPEB) in the scam.
However, the Madhya Pradesh ministers - Kailash Vijaywargiya, Bhupendra Singh, Uma Shankar Gupta and Dr Gaurshankar Shejwar held a joint press conference, in which they lashed out at the senior Congress leader. "There is no legality in the letter written by Singh to the Chief Justice. Had he been serious on the issue he would not have issued copies of the letter to the media and would have sent it confidentially. It is just a publicity stunt," Vijaywargiya said.
The ministers contended that in his capacity as AAG, Kaurav has every right to defend MPPEB as it has not committed anything wrong but the officers and employees working in it were involved in the scam.
"MPPEB is a body under the state government and is a state subject as per the constitution. By raising objection against Kaurav, Singh is trying to mislead the the probe as the scam was not committed by MPPEB, but the officers and employees working in it to whom Special Task Force (STF), which is probing the scam, has made the accused," Vijaywargiya claimed.

I'm not even going to pretend this recipe is healthy. Yes, it has wheat flour in it and all real food ingredients but that doesn't mean you need to eat the whole batch in one sitting. So I normally prefer a good vanilla cupcake. I love the light, happy flavor but there is just something about chocolate and cookie dough that goes together. So without futher ado....
Chocolate Cupcakes
What you need:
- 1/4 c. oil (any that you prefer, olive, coconut, ect)
- 3/4 c. sugar (I used turbinado)
- 1 egg
- 1 t. vanilla
- 1/2 c. wheat flour
- 1/2 c. white flour (you can use all wheat if you want)
- 1/3 c. cocoa powder
- 1 t. baking powder
- pinch of salt
- 2/3 c. milk
I used fresh ground wheat for mine. I thought about setting my grinder on the pastry setting but ended up sticking with bread setting and it was just perfectly fine.
Yum. Like I mentioned above, feel free to use a whole cup of wheat in this recipe and no white flour. You won't even be able to taste the difference.
First, mix together the sugar, egg, oil, and vanilla.
Then add in the flours. You will need one HEAPING half cup of wheat flour (or one heaping cup of wheat flour if you go fully wheat) in case you didn't know, this is what a heaping cup should look like. The reason for this is because freshly ground flour is less dense than store bought flour which means you'll need more to make the recipe just right.
Add in the rest of the ingredients.
And add the milk last. Stir well but no need to go overboard with perfectly smooth batter.
Drop by tablespoon full into a greased or liner cupcake pan.
Bake at 350F for about 15 to 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Now to make the cookie dough frosting you need to gather:
Cookie Dough "Frosting"
What you need:
- 1/2 c. butter (melted)
- 3/4 c. sugar
- 1/2 t. vanilla
- 1 c. flour
- 1/4 t. salt
- water as needed
Add in the flour. You may have to add in water until you get it to the right consistancy. In all honesty this isn't a true "frosting" recipe. It's cookie dough with all the rising agents removed. So it won't look like perfect frosting but it sure tastes good! You will want to make the frosting when you are ready to use it as it will harden as it sits.
To answer your question....yes, these are amazing. And yes, they are rich little cupcakes. Enjoy in moderation!

"Really Difficult" would depend on your prev. experience level IMHO, it's a bit of a project if you haven't done anything similar before....
It doesn't sound good at this point, but don't borrow trouble yet B4 trying the hints given earlier!
Couple hints I thought of when reading this:
When you clean things up, use a light & peek at the threads to note any obvious damage that might be more apparent on 1 or 2 of them...
When threading plugs in, a piece of hose that fits on the insulator makes a good plug starter to run them in with by hand B4 torquing. That way there is no chance of damage from any cross threading (it replaces an "official" plug starting tool). You can also get a good "feel" this way of how solid the fit is between the plugs & the threaded hole. If they are in good shape you shouldn't feel a LOT of wiggle after they are threaded in most of the way. You'll ALWAYS feel a bit of wiggle when only a couple threads are engaged, and that should progressively disappear as they thread in further. If they still wiggle noticeably when they are almost seated it's a sign the threads in the head are worn & you should be very careful in tightening them.
The "tapered seat" plugs common now, as opposed to the type with crush gaskets, seat suddenly without much additional turning to achieve the proper torque value so more care is needed to get them tightened properly. Good excuse to get out the torque wrench over the "armstrong" finger feel method of determining the proper tightness!
Here's hoping that carbon buildup from loose plugs was the initial cause of your issue, and simply cleaning things up solves it!

Revelation 13 - All the Earth Worships the Beast
John sees two beasts, one rising from the sea and another from the earth. The beast from the sea receives a fatal wound and is healed. The beast from the earth directs all worship to the first beast whose deadly wound was healed. Those dwelling on the earth must worship the first beast and take his mark or face death.

There is no question that at the 2016 Republican convention, the name, the person, the words of one Mitt Romney will not be present. His nonstop endeavor to prove to the American people that he is a wealthy, spoiled, nasty individual are now clear, not only to the American people, but to members of his own party. It is customary when losing a presidential election to at least act in a presidential manner in conceding the loss. Romney remarks to his wealthy donors simply indicate the pettiness, the anger and hate in the heart of this man. In America when we lose, we accept responsibility, we do not blame the winner.
Mitt Romney will not be invited in 2014 to campaign for anyone, he will simply join the man in Texas who chops wood and still insists there were WMD in Iraq. The Republican party lacks anyone who comes across as an individual who cares about all Americans. The party must shed its Tea Party image and return to mainstream America.

NBC's Free Agents is the second new series to get the ax this week. The sitcom, starring Hank Azaria and Kathryn Hahn, was an even worse weak spot than just-canceled Playboy Club, and had just 3.3 million viewers Wednesday. (Its lead-in, Up All Night, did better with 5.7 million and was picked up for a full season Tuesday).
NBC is scheduling repeats of Whitney in the Wed 8:30 ET/PT time slot as a replacement.

Bishop Michael Bransfield of Wheeling-Charleston said he was surprised at West Virginia Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin's veto of the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, which would have prohibited nonmedical crisis abortions after 20 weeks post-fertilization.
Tomblin vetoed the bill late Friday.
"I am very surprised by Gov. Tomblin's veto of the Pain-Capable Act," the bishop said. "For most West Virginians, this is bitter news, especially on the heels of the governor's use of his ability to veto budgeted items to cut benefits to poor children and families in West Virginia."
His veto of the abortion measure, the bishop said, "does not reflect the majority opinion of the state Legislature, who worked hard this session to do more to help children in poverty and protect life, particularly unborn children."
The Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act was put forth in response to medical evidence that demonstrates an unborn child already has the ability to feel pain at 20 weeks, the bishop said in early March. The measure passed the West Virginia Senate March 8 by a vote of 29-5 and the state House Feb. 26 by a vote of 79-17. Bransfield thanked state legislators who voted for the bill.
Leaders of pro-life groups also expressed their surprise at the veto.
National Right to Life in a statement noted that a nationwide poll of 1,003 registered voters in March 2013 found that 64 percent of respondents would support a law such as the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act prohibiting abortion after 20 weeks -- when an unborn baby can feel pain -- unless the life of the mother is in danger. Only 30 percent opposed such legislation. Women voters split 63-31 percent in support of such a law, and 63 percent of independent voters supported it.
"Gov. Tomblin's veto of the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act is a total abandonment of the most vulnerable unborn children in West Virginia," said Carol Tobias, president of National Right to Life.
"The governor has placed himself in a minority position on this bill," said Wanda Franz, president of West Virginians for Life.

In my experience of four hockey seasons here at Canisius, I have never seen our team more focused on and off the ice than I did this past week. It seemed as though every conversation we had together at school, or at the rink, revolved around our upcoming game on the weekend. On top of this, we had a great week of practice, and we were more than ready for the task at hand.
On Saturday night, the team headed to Lewiston to take on Niagara University. It was the fourth time we faced off this year, but this time the game was worth much more. No matter who came out on top the three times prior, it all came down to this game, as the winner would move on and the loser's season would be over. Across the Atlantic Hockey league, six other teams met to play in the same type of game to decide who would move on to the quarterfinals.
We knew before the game that if we played to our potential, we would be successful. Before the game, the team talked about taking it period-by-period. Our immediate focus was the first 20 minutes.
Right off of the first faceoff, the tone of the game was set as both teams were playing as if there was no tomorrow. We struck early in the first period and controlled most of the play, but in the last minute of the period, the Purple Eagles got on the board. When a team scores late in the period like that, it usually gives them a boost of momentum to carry into the next period. After talking in the locker room, the boys got on the same page and decided that we would dictate the pace for the rest of the game and came out in the second period flying.
We scored four goals in the second period and took a commanding lead in the game. Going back into the locker room for the second intermission, the team chatted once again about the game plan for the following period. Being respectful of the talent of our opponents, we knew that nothing in our play could change and that we had to keep the pedal to the metal. The message was simple. Win a period, win a game - and that's exactly what we did.
In front of an amazing turnout from our great fans, friends and families who made the trip, the Golden Griffins defeated the Purple Eagles and moved on to the next round of playoffs. Not only was it special to move on the next round, but was even better for it to be through a win over our school-wide rivals.
Although we are obviously very happy about our win on the weekend, the game is behind us and our focus is now on a new opponent. Our next step is to travel to Worcester, Massachusetts to take on the Holy Cross Crusaders in a best-of-three series in the Atlantic Hockey Quarterfinals. We go into this weekend feeling confident, but also feeling just as focused as we did last week. Getting back to the Atlantic Hockey Semifinals will be no easy task, but I know that all 25 players in our locker room are up to the task.
See you at the rink,
Scott Jenks, #3

loveless is an ex-Confederate scientist who hopes to get back at the North for winning the Civil War.
Representing "loveless" is a Grant member whom Vaillant refers to as "Sam Lovelace."
Washington could never have married a poor woman, but neither could he have tolerated a cold and loveless marriage.
But the marriage was loveless and lonely and McRay found herself meandering the manicured grounds, plotting her escape.
"Like many of the loveless men, it was hard for him to let love in," writes Vaillant.
The loving worm within its clod is diviner than a loveless god amid his worlds.
They disappear, and alone she meets a cruel, loveless, unknown world.
loveless lives, empty lives, filled themselves in their despair with beautiful furniture.
Somehow it soothed her to know that she was not a forsaken, loveless maiden.
After the cold, formal, loveless life at her aunt's, she appreciated her own humble home more than ever before.

The Right Fit for a Sheath Dress
Ideally, the cut of this classic style is "narrow enough to be elegantly slimming, but not so tight that it is formfitting," says designer Sigrid Olsen, who is based in Hamilton, Massachusetts.
Key Points
- Neckline: Lying at or just below the collarbone, it should never gape, even when you lean forward
- Chest: The dress should not pull or sag at the bustline.
- Armholes: "Look for a cut that's generous enough to allow a full range of motion but doesn't reveal your bra," recommends Olsen.
- Hips: The fabric should fit close to the body, especially when the hips are wider. If the fabric hangs too loosely, "it can cause draping, and you'll look like you have a bag on," says Dawn Del Russo, a stylist based in Verona, New Jersey.
- Hem: "A sheath dress looks chicest when it hits just at or slightly above the knee," says Aguiar. A dress that's any longer will make the legs appear more stout than sleek.

Fair enough, there must be a fair few buyers who don't understand the theme or don't read the documentation properly and rate a theme one star. It's pretty disgusting reading this thread though and listening to established and non-established authors referring to buyers as noobs and morons.
Yes, there should be a way of buyers having to qualify a low review and a way of authors appealing an unjustified review but don't assume that all your themes automatically qualify for 4 or 5 stars across the board.
While there are some great themes here, there are also many atrocious themes that have somehow got through the review process and are fully deserving of a 3* or less review.
I've got the greatest of respect for any author selling on here as the value for money for buyers is undeniable but have a bit of respect back for the people who are spending money on your themes, too.
The one-star ratings don´t necessarily come from "true" buyers.
As mentioned multiple times in this thread, it´s often other authors who rate products 1 star to fight the competition (in an unfair way).
Sry but I think "noob" is still a harmless word to desribe this kind of people…
I've purchased a good deal of items here on the marketplaces, and while the majority are great, I run into a dud from time to time. So you're right, some items are deserving of low ratings. But I think this thread's focus is on items that have mostly 4-5 star ratings and then a few 1 stars.
Personally I prefer a very sophisticated rating system with report buttons, stars, reason why comments for stars etc.., and supported by a very solid support team and no review on items
I've been affected as well by low-rating without knowing why was that, the 1 & 2* shouldn't count unless a valid reason is given.
When someone like me only has 4 ratings, it's damaging for my reputation here if someone rates me one star, without even asking for support.
Dream-Theme said
Guys, guys, guys! Please stop whining That's how rating works. Most potential buyers understand that if item has 10 5-stars and 1 1-star ratings than item is ok (and 1-star comes from noob).
I like this idea—plus, how can we know what to improve if no feedback is given? Justification for lower ratings would be a great addition, even if the author would be the only person with access to the comments.
QUICK QUESTION: Envato staff, are you approving 1 star rating when users complain about support?

QUICK QUESTION: Envato stuff, are you approving 1 star rating when users complain about support?
We're not approving ratings. The purpose of this initial feature was just to observe what's happening for a week or two (it's going to be pulled down very soon).

I love the Fett family tree in the first post. Is there an up to date history including eFX or any other new updates since this was made?
Thank you for sharing this fascinating history of this most iconic helmet!
Been away for a while, a lot has changed, would love to see an updated lineage to get me up to speed!
Very useful, thanks for taking the time to put this together.
This is absolutely spectacular. Thank you to everyone that contributed to this.
I am curious, what is the damage that was done to the Lava helmet. I have a mystery and I just want to see what the damage actually is.
C'mon, Art. You've been mum on this for some time. We've since gotten the MR "ESB Hero" that's really the PP3. We've got the eFX Boba. We've got the second-generation plug FP got of the PP2, and the work that's been done with it on here. I do think those need to be added to the family tree.
wow, how good is this? fascinating stuff, thank you guys!
Incredible amount of information.
Awesome stuff! Thanks for posting! Its so fun to see the lineage in a lineup.
Great work and thanks for sharing this ð
Now this is some impressive information!
I love this everytime I find it. someone should continue adding to it.
This is really cool
