At least one Indian soldier wounded as suspected rebels lay siege to government office in Indian-administered Kashmir.
Indian police say security forces are battling a group of gunmen inside a government compound in the Indian-controlled portion of Kashmir.
Police told the Associated Press news agency on Monday that army and paramilitary soldiers cordoned off the compound after gunshots were heard near Pampore town, about 10km outside of Srinagar, capital of Indian Kashmir.
One soldier was reported wounded in the initial fighting.
Sources told Al Jazeera that at least two suspected rebels are holed up inside the Entrepreneurship Development Institute, and that intermittent shooting could be heard in the building.
The attack comes as Kashmir is experiencing its largest protests against Indian rule in recent years, sparked by the killing in July of a popular rebel commander by Indian soldiers.
The protests, and a sweeping military crackdown, have all but paralysed life in Indian-controlled Kashmir, with shops, schools and most banks remaining shut and mobile phone and internet services working intermittently.
Kashmir has been divided between rivals India and Pakistan since the end of British rule in 1947. Both claim the territory in full.
Anti-India sentiment runs deep in Kashmir, where rebel groups have fought Indian troops since 1989 for either independence or a merger with Pakistan. More than 70,000 people have been killed since then.
Tension between the nuclear-armed neighbours has soared after an armed attack last month on an Indian army base killed 19 soldiers with the two armies exchanging heavy fire and mortars across their de facto border in Kashmir almost every day.

Get Bangle in the car and drive
Most of the interviews for the film have already been shot, but there are a few late additions we're doing this month. One is BMW's Chris Bangle. Bangle is based in Munich, but we missed him when we were in Germany a few months back. He was visiting the States this week to attend the Concours d'Elegance in Pebble Beach, so DP Luke Geissbuhler and I headed out to California to meet up with this controversial designer. "A wild-eyed revolutionary destroying one of Europe's blue-chip luxury brands?teststarter The most influential automotive designer of the early 21st century?" asked an article in Motor Trend. The Concours was a complete circus… there was no parking, it was swarming with people, and it was impossible to find a quiet place to interview Bangle anywhere near the show's headquarters at the Lodge at Pebble Beach. So Luke and I commandeered a new BMW X6, threw Bangle in, and headed north along the Pacific coast. We found a vacant stretch of land overlooking the ocean, and actually conducted most of the interview inside the car. Our conversation topics included the evolution of automotive design over the last 50 years, the emotional appeal of the automobile, the differences between European and American design, his work at BMW, and his thinking on user interface, materials, sustainability, and the future of car design (and even of the car itself). At some point soon we'll be uploading clips from a number of our interviews for your viewing pleasure. 300-206 Back to the studio, –Gary

I look forward to some of the interview footage. I like BMW's current crop of cars, certainly a lot more than earlier Bangle designs. The Z4 has grown on me. The 7-series is the best looking car in its class. The 1-series looks just about right.
Then you see any modern BMW parked next to one made before 1990 and you want to cry, because the older cars looked so right. They looked simultaneously delicate and muscular, which is exactly how they drove and which is exactly what every die hard fan of the marque misses today. Bangle didn't ruin BMW and his designs are great, but he's an easy target for a lot of pent up rage.
Aug 25, 2008
Nice points, Patrick. Actually, the Daily Telegraph this week is releasing the results of a reader poll of the 100 Ugliest Cars of All Time. They're announcing them in reverse order, 20 cars per day. Bangle's already made the list today at #98 with his 7 Series.
Aug 26, 2008
his work on the BMW GINA Light Visionary Model is stunnin. Very good interview with him about his car on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTYiEkQYhWY
Aug 28, 2008
I think it's great that the conversation also moved away from cars as products but as pieces of technology that we interact with.
I am curious to listen to what he has to say about it.
Cars are great examples of the hybrid design that we do today where disciplines get intertwined. Although it is so, there's also so much still to be done on that realm.
Sep 01, 2008
So I heard GINA was conceived before Bangle arrived, he just had the vision to make it happen, going be interesting to see what he has to say, looking forward to it.

they should really have seen the abuse of Harry earlier and they should have done something. Now they won't
find him any longer.
Nice story!
| Fat Cat chapter 1 . 4/14/2013
Came here from "An Issue of Trust" and am not disappointed. The rare fics that focus on Harry's muggle teachers are always quite good mostly because it's not a terribly popular area of exploration. The ending of this strikes me as a wee too hopeful but it can be seen as anything but. A teacher aware of abuse who gives up her search too quickly like so many real authority figures.
| Kashel chapter 1 . 4/21/2012
that's a depressing story.
I liked it really... but the poor teacher never got to know that Harry was okay, did she?
Sad... I wished Harry would just meet her someplace, in the city or something now. Just for her to see that his green eyes are still full of life.
That he didn't die.
Not because she never really acted.
Though she did more than the others, it's quite sad...

Aww...this was sooo cute! I just love little Harry fics, and this one was unusually well-written too!

This was good. A lot of nice imagery, this general feeling of time lost, feelings lost, helplessness, almost a nostalgia for us readers concerning that time of Harry's life now that his story's over...And the details you added were nice - like the lock on the basement that Miss Morrison notices. Good stuff.

I know that it is very common to have menstrual bleeding while on Mirena. But I was wondering how common it is for a woman who has been on Depo for 5 years and the Mirena for 6 years to all of a sudden start getting periods again after not having them? I was fine for the past 5 years on my previous Mirena but seem to be having more side effects (decrease sex drive, mood swings, and sometimes painful sex) with this new one. Could it be going from very low progestin to a higher level? Could it be that the nurse or doctor who put it in had to take it out and put it in again because she forgot to feel for where my cervix was when she first put it in? I had the old one taken out in August 2013 and started getting periods again August 2014 (every 25 days or so thus far). I am getting it taken out, I was just more asking out of curiosity and would love to hear what you think. Also what birth control do you think I should go on until my husband and I are ready to start conceiving which will probably be within the year or so?

Ok I have a few questions for you just to make sure we are on the same page so you were on Depot for 5 years then got your first Mirena IUD, did you have that for the full 5 yrs that it is good for? So Aug 2013 when it was removed did you have a brand new Mirena IUD but right back in? That is what I think you are saying and that you are bleeding from this new IUD? The IUD is placed in the ox of your uterus and that is wear the T shape stays and the wire comes down it is not abnormal to have break through bleeding for the first year after a IUD insertion even if it was simultaneously but in with anothe Mirena IUD if you are goinger through a pad a hour you definitely need to consult your health care provider immediately. But if not it is normal. Otherwise your IUD is good up to 5 yrs and if you are wantin good it removed because of bleeding you can get on birth control pills to help regulate your menstrual cycle and stop that break through bleeding but not have to worry about if you miss a pill you can get pregnant. And there are many many other birth control options I can discuss with you feel free to message me anytime I know all about them. I hope I was helpful to you somewhat and this was what you were looking for.
Alright, so yes, I was on Depot for 5 years and then my first Mirena for 5 years. Then after my first Mirena was done last year August 2013, I had a new one inserted at that time. I am definitely not going through a pad an hour and I checked that the strings are still where they should be, and they are. I understand that there can be breakthrough bleeding, it is just odd that after 11 years of being on birth control with little to no periods (only a couple breakthrough bleedings throughout), I all of a sudden start having periods again a year after the new one was inserted. I didn't have any bleeding or periods except for the initial bought when it was first inserted in August 2013 through July 2014. Now I have had two periods every 25 days since August 2014, does that make more sense?
I just haven't read that happening to anyone, so I was curious if it had something to do with the Progestin levels or if anyone has heard that happening. Thank you so much for your reply it was greatly appreciated.

We just had a great shoot at Trio Restaurant and it went really well. Rebekah and I especially enjoyed the food shots.
The smell of the wood burning stove greeted us at the door and set the mood for the great food that they served. The food is a variety from traditional to modern and I can safely say that they will have something to please everyone. I especially loved the pizza that can be made pretty much any way you like it with any topping.
Really comfortable atmosphere and a private room that can be reserved for special occasions.
Check them out sometime!

The government is also unhappy with the limited-edition accessories because they boast a copyrighted logo. NY Post: ...when the store finally opened its doors Friday, the company began selling a line of limited-edition products - all stamped with "Gucci [hearts] NY," an obvious takeoff on the classic "I [heart] NY" logo, which became New York's trademarked slogan 31 years ago...The only problem is that the company did not get permission to use the New York state logoeven in an altered waywith its iconic red heart and black letters. And New York zealously guards its copyrightthe state has filed more than 3,000 legal challenges over infringements...Thomas Ranese, chief marketing officer for the Empire State Development agency, which controls the copyright to the slogan, told The Post that Gucci had not contacted the agency and did not have permission to use the logo.Oops! Maybe those purses will become collectors items after all.


text: Steven, As for that antenna, btdt... My antenna got stuck down in the middle of Alabama and was still running (could hear the motor spinning). I was afraid it was going to wear out my battery, but the motor in the antenna burned itself up before that happened. Anyways, pulling the anenna base apart revealed the source of the problem. There is a driainage tube that come out of the base of the antenna which had become clogged. Water had backed up in the antenna base (part with the motor in it) and killed the motor. So, I just pulled it out. Open up the antenna base casing. There are 4 screws that hold it on. In it you will see the motor (much water will most likely pour out) and a plastic stip coiled up inide there. You will want to pull the motor out. Leave in the white plastic strip and coil it back up in the anteanna base. So, basically you just have a manual antenna now (who needs power?). My antenna motors was really gunky and gross. Make sure the antenna goes up and down fine manually, and then seal it back up. Do not mess with any of the power wires, etc. Take a small amount of liqid drayno or some pipe cleaner and clean out that clear plastic drainage tube. Then, seal it back up (sporry, you don't want to seal it up before you solve this drainage problem. Push back trunk liner in place. Now you should have a fully functional antenna, but without the power. You just simply have to manually pull it up or push it down. Mine stayed up almost all the time. Just push it down before you go through a car wash or put a car cover over it. Good luck! As for the hard cold starting, could it be injectors??? Just a thought. I sold my 5ktq just before it hit 120K miles. loved the car, and it was in great shape, but it hadn't really ran right in a year and I was dumping more than the GNP of Equador into the thing, and I didn't see things changing. So, untill my income changes, I am Audi-less. Can't wait till I can get back into one though. Later, Dan

Posted on Tue 3 Jun 2014
I am an Engg and Management Grad from NIT-Trichy and IIM Bangalore. My daughter had taken admission at Fiitjee Chandigarh - weekend classes from May2014, Class- XI. After two weeks of classes, I assessed the quality of faculty and teaching methodology are far below than average general school. I kept close vigilance for next two weeks, and found that it is a waste of time and energy for my daughter to continue with fiitjee.
My daughter scored 10CGPA in 10th in 2014. She found that the teachers do not teach theory and fundamentals. they right away go to the problem solution mode. it is more of a mugging methodology they teach than making the kids to understand on science and maths fundamentals. I could quote "n" number of examples. howev.....

Build Quality
Reliability Value
30,000 miles of hard driving, still great
By white98d on
Vehicle1998 Dodge Durango SLT 4dr SUV 4WD
ReviewHad the car for 30000 miles and been in two accidents. Rearended a pickup, got it fixed, then was rearended by a Jeep Cherokee that got totaled but other than a lot of scuffed paint the Durango was fine. Only thing bad about it is the gas mileage so I put on an aftermarket intake system and exhaust now it gets 13 city 19 highway. Best thing about it is the power. Took it offroading didn't have a problem anywhere in 4wd. Also driving on the highway is a blast . I love this car and would get another after this if I can find one with low amount of miles. does great burnouts, too.
Best FeaturesPower. Knowing that i can drive pretty much anywhere and not get stuck.
Worst FeaturesNone. Only thing is gas mileage but that's expected out of a 5.9l engine.

You are an unremarkable woman in an unremarkable life: You hurry your children through breakfast, you drop them at preschool, you are impatient at the red light on mornings when you run late to the office, you bake cupcakes when asked by committees and neighbors.
You check progress reports on Friday nights and status reports on Sundays.
You pay your bills on time, renew subscriptions to your husband's magazines, never forget birthdays and anniversaries, pick up the dry cleaning.
You leave the spotlight to the man you married though occasionally you long for an alternative; you imagine a different life, you remember a different life.
You are supportive of his career ambitions, accepting when he takes his weekends with the guys, silent as he stretches out in bed and invariably lands on CNN with its news of the latest war, blaring. Then he sleeps like a baby. And you rise to pace.
He tells you not to comb your hair, not to refresh your lipstick, not to change a thing. "Breathe," he says, so you take a deep breath.
He points to an Oriental folding screen in the corner of his studio. You try to remain composed, to accept the routine in this as he does, to dispel your nervousness by whispering to yourself: It's only a drawing.
"There's a robe on the chair back there," he says. "You can put that on for now."
You slip behind the screen and undress, emerging a few minutes later feeling vulnerable though you are far more covered up than when you arrived in shorts and a sweater.
He has been asking for years and you say no, over and over. You have no idea why you suddenly agree to this activity. Perhaps because your age grows accusatory. Perhaps because you feel your muscles slacken and your skin surrender its satiny texture. Perhaps you want to know you are not unremarkable after all.
He offers the glass of wine again that you refused a few minutes earlier. You down it quickly and he pours you a second. He instructs you to sit on an antique chair and explains how he would like to pose you.
"It's a sketch, not a painting," he says. "Thirty minutes. That's it."
The calm in his voice is soothing and the alcohol is doing its part. When he asks that you remove the robe, you stand up, drop it to the floor, and resume the position you held just moments before.
He surveys quickly and you wonder what it is that he sees – a friend, a woman, a set of body parts, a daily exercise.
He shifts your right shoulder forward, tilts your head toward him, angles one knee slightly, tells you to relax your fingers.
"Good," he murmurs, and then he gets to work.
Your husband is gone and the children are in college. On the back of the house is a small deck where ivy tangles itself in the rails of splintering wood. The foliage of late summer provides a privacy screen of sorts. The sun beckons after a hard rain.
You unbutton your shirt and drop it behind you, opting for the sensation of heat on your shoulders and light on your breasts, unremarked for so many years.
Flash fiction is a very short story of anywhere from 100 to 1,000 words. This is a quick writing exercise using the prompt of "sun after rain" in a 60-minute period.

So why isn't the Left refering to him as "General Betray-us"? You'd think they'd be all over this.
" - - - Youd think theyd be all over this."
If AG Holder and the CIA were running Libyian arms and munitions to the "UMBRELLA GROUP IN SYRIA," ( Quote from Benghazi-Coward Obama today at his press conf), then the Liberal Agenda Media (LAM) would want to protect the General and Holder.
BTW, the LAM was at the Benghazi Murder Site shortly after the murders, and collected Top Secret Papers to educate themselves on who the LAM should be protecting.
Thus the LAM were able to see to it that Benghazi-Coward Obama got re-elected.
The question now is can the LAM be forced to release their stolen top secret papers from the Benghazi Murder site to the relevant Congressional Committees?

* Proposed penalties would be record for energy regulator
* Barclays says FERC case "inconsistent with the facts"
* Alleged ringleader at Barclays faces "draconian" fine
By Ros Krasny
WASHINGTON, Dec 16 (Reuters) - Barclays Bank PLC has denied that it manipulated electricity markets and predicted in a tersely worded regulatory filing that the U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's case, and proposed record penalties, will not hold up in court.
In a filing made late on Friday, a response to a "show cause" order by FERC, Barclays and four of its former traders rejected the commission's charge that they enacted various schemes in the markets in the Western United States to benefit offsetting swaps positions.
FERC's "underlying allegations are inconsistent with the facts and incorrectly rely on erroneous inferences drawn from mere fragments of documents," Barclays said. "Barclays did not violate the Commission's Anti-Manipulation Rule."
The filing followed through on Barclay's earlier vow to fight FERC's allegations in federal court rather than only through the agency's administrative process.
FERC alleged that Barclays and four of its former traders "engaged in a coordinated scheme to manipulate trading" in four major western hubs from late 2006 to 2008. It proposed fines totaling $470 million.
The Barclays case is expected to be a first major test of FERC's enforcement muscle, which was expanded by Congress in 2005 legislation that had its genesis in the Enron power manipulation scandals in the western United States earlier in the decade.
Since 2005, FERC has increased its enforcement division's staff to more than 200 from about a dozen. The team is now led by Norman Bay, a former U.S. attorney from New Mexico who has made other high-profile law enforcement recruits.
Barclays intends to fight back vigorously. The bank said that FERC's allegations are "based on an economically irrational theory," and that the commission should terminate its proceedings without any further action.
Separate filings were made on behalf of the four former Barclays traders - notably Scott Connelly, accused by FERC of being the ringleader of an alleged schemes.
FERC has proposed that Connelly alone pay a $15 million fine. His three colleagues - Daniel Brin, Karen Levine and Ryan Smith - could be on the hook for $1 million each.
The filing on behalf of Connelly described FERC's efforts against the trader as "draconian."
"This crippling penalty is multiples of Mr. Connelly's net worth, and it would simply be unjust to impose this penalty that will essentially ruin him and his family for life financially," the lawyers said. "No federal judge would order such a financial death sentence."
FERC did not immediately respond to requests for a comment.

Geosciences, Environment and Man, Volume 1 (Developments in Earth and Environmental Sciences)
Geosciences, Environment and Man has three major objectives, which determine the division in three parts of this volume: I. To consider the main natural geological processes interfering with and therefore threatening the activities of man: earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, land movements, floods, wind and coastal risks; main prevention and mitigation measures against these natural hazards are presented. II. To examine the exploitation of earth's natural resources such as materials, ores and minerals, fossil fuels, water, radioactivity, and the resulting consequences on solid Earth balance and future. III. To assess the hold level reached by the activities of man on planet surface envelopes through agriculture, urbanization, industrialization, and communication; the local to global effects of human influence triggered by recent demographic growth on underground, soils, water and air characters are taken into account. Both deteriorating and beneficial aspects of Earth - the interactions of man are emphasized, as well as mitigation or restoration measures and perspectives.

Craftsman GDO's are made by Chamberlain and very similar in design to Chamberlains. The main difference is cosmetics.
Here is a manual for a current model. Based on the age and the fact that yours is a Secutiry Plus System and uses a late model logic board I think that the operation is similar.
Look at the trouble shooting on pages 25 & 26

In what way is Piggy, in William Golding's Lord of the Flies, naive?
- print Print
- list Cite
Piggy is one of the four main characters in William Golding's Lord of the Flies, and in almost every way he is an outcast from the rest of the boys on the island because of how he looks (fat, asthmatic, bespectacled) but also because of the way he thinks. Piggy is naive because he assumes everyone thinks as he does.
When he meets Ralph in the opening paragraphs of the novel, he assumes Ralph is as glad to see him as he is to see Ralph; however, it is not true. In fact, Ralph tries several times to avoid talking to Piggy and to distance himself from the unappealing boy. Piggy wants to talk about the plane and the crash and the rest of the boys; Ralph mostly wants to revel in the fact that there are no adults on the island. When Piggy asks Ralph's name, he assumes Ralph will do the proper thing (as Piggy himself just did) and reciprocate. Instead,
the fat boy waited to be asked his name in turn but this proffer of acquaintance was not made; the fair boy called Ralph smiled vaguely, stood up, and began to make his way once more toward the lagoon.
Ralph is just not interested in anything to do with Piggy or his ideas. Any time Piggy offers a bit of information, Ralph quickly interrupts and shuts him down.
When the boys all finally have a meeting, Piggy asks and tries to remember each boy's name; he assumes Ralph will want to know them, too, but he is wrong. Ralph is dismissive and does not care in the least about knowing any of the boys' names.
Later, Piggy tries to help Ralph be a better leader by making practical suggestions and reminding Ralph that he is the leader, and Ralph eventually becomes desperate enough to listen to him. In the meantime, Piggy assumes that holding the conch shell will allow him to speak freely and uninterrupted, according to the rules to which they had all agreed; however, when Piggy tries to speak he is taunted mercilessly and shouted down by the majority of the group. He assumes Ralph will stick up for him since it is the right thing to do, but Ralph is silent.
Perhaps Piggy's greatest flaw is his naivete, his belief that everyone thinks logically like he does and is interested in maintaining a civilized, orderly society. This is so far from what the others, particularly Jack, think that eventually Piggy is killed because of it.

text: VD or venereal disease is also called STD or Sexually transmitted disease, and there are over 50 types of VD. However, there are a few that are more common like, warts, AIDS/HIV, chlamydia, gonorrhea, and craps to name a few. It is always important when having sex to use protection, while this does not completely take away your chances of getting a VD it does decrease your chances of getting a VD.

About Gio A.Close
I've played guitar since I was only eight years old (over 20 years!) in many different bands, styles, and genres. I played in a traditional Irish ensemble when I was in college and have since picked up banjo, mandolin, harmonica, and bodhran (an Irish hand drum). I love playing and teaching bluegrass music, it's a special challenge both for me and the students!
About Gio
I have been teaching guitar, drums, and piano for about eight years to students of all ages. Music is what I'm passionate about and it's what I enjoy. I want to inspire that same passion into the hearts and minds of others.
*** Lesson Details ***
I am a laid-back teacher, fun, and I focus on the needs, abilities, and ambitions of the student. In turn, students must realize that learning an instrument takes a lot of work and dedication. One can't expect to learn very much if s/he only practices or thinks about the instrument during the lesson. If the student is willing to put some time into practicing, then I will help them go far!
*** Studi
I have several guitars, a drum kit, djembe, mandolin, clarinet and full-size keyboard.
*** Specialties ***
Guitar: Classical, jazz, American or Irish folk, rock and pop; lead or rhythm.
Drums & Percussion: All genres
Piano: Classical (includes sight reading)

Guitar lessons are a fun, laid-back, and encouraging experience for anyone to pursue. My lessons are specifically designed to accomplish the goals of the student, whether it's as simple as playing along with your favorite songs, or obtaining the musical foundation to begin writing your own songs. Former students have thanked me for being laid-back, non-rigid, and down to earth. My diverse musical background lets me offer students of any genre a fast track to learning the skills they desire, and having fun along the way as well!
About Nikolas
Most of my musical experience has entailed Rock, Indie-Rock, Blues, Acoustic, Bossa Nova, and Experimental/Contemporary. If students are looking to expand into a genre which I am not necessarily familiar with, I am always able to examine and learn the material myself in order to pass along to the student.
My students always decide the curriculum and pace which they would like their lessons to held at. I make sure to break the lesson down into simp

Josh, multi-instrumentalist for Norah Jones and many others graduated Berklee College of Music in 1995. He has been playing professionally and teaching privately since then. He appears on albums by James Taylor, The Lemonheads and has performed live with everyone from Brian Wilson to Miley Cyrus.I offer private guitar lessons to students of all ages and skill levels in a fun and patient environment. Whether you're picking up a guitar for the first time or you've been playing for a while and are looking to break out of a rut, I can help.
About Josh
· Guitar · In studio
With his "hands on" guitar lessons we quickly built a fun song's set which was custom made for my skills level at the time. Led Zeppelin's "Black Dog" was among one of the first songs I learned, and by then I had basic chord's as well as a couple major scale positions knowledge.
I ve been seeing Josh (lately via Skype, which saves me 1 hour a day in commute) for the past 3.5yrs and nowadays I am actually playing with a band which goes live every now and then, despite my challenging 10+ daily work hours.
Josh was instrumental to keep me motivated all the time, I strongly recommend giving him a try.
· Guitar · In studio
Josh's style is patient, supportive and also very funny. He's the reason I love playing guitar and didn't get scared off by bar chords.
He also can play absolutely anything, and tailors my lessons to help me play the kind of stuff I write the best possible way. I am really grateful to be taught by him and will continue to take lessons as long as he's teaching.
· Guitar · In studio
Josh Lattanzi's guitar lessons are simply the best. I started taking lessons with Josh after I graduated college. I was moving to New York to pursue songwriting and found Josh's website online, deciding to try out a lesson based on his experience as a musician and a teacher.
Now, over five years later I can confidently say that if I hadn't chosen Josh my career as a songwriter would be completely different. He goes above and beyond for his students.
I am simply incredibly lucky to have taken that initial step of a first lesson with Josh of NYC Guitar Lessons.
Josh is a patient, focused but fun teacher. His breadth and depth of knowledge of music, guitar and other instruments is extensive, and lends to thorough and thoughtful teaching.
The thing that I love most about taking lessons with Josh is that he is incredibly flexible, willing and able to tailor each student's lessons based on what their ultimate guitar goals are. It made it easy to refer friends to him that wanted to lean basics of guitar and suggest lessons to friends in the songwriting community who had more specific goals in mind.
I really can't speak highly enough about my experiences as an NYC guitar lessons student with Josh.

I took lessons previously and was OK with them, but found myself wandering and lacking a sense of 'commitment' to the teacher and to my studies. Dry.
I'm not a kid anymore and was looking for a teacher who could work with my adult enthusiasm, excitement, and I didn't want to be rooted to teaching me the pentatonic scales in all keys before we could get to some playing and having some fun, too... I was hoping for a teacher who could personalize his teaching skills, and for me, Jonathan came through with flying colors. He's so much more than a "One Size Fits All" teacher; he's a real person – reachable, able to identify my needs, my strengths and weaknesses, and takes this into full consideration during our lessons. He's an experienced, talented teacher. Simple.
He's a person that really knows his stuff from musical theory to the many styles of playing, i.e., blues, jazz, folk, country and even rock; he can play and more importantly – he can teach um all! I'm an aspiring singer/songwriter and in addition to helping me define those strange chords I'm playing, he inspires me to 'grow on.'
Oh, and one more thing: If your lesson is an hour long and there's something important happening, he won't cut you off - he'll take the extra time needed to get you to the end of 'the measure,' comfortably." Feb 2017 Rachel I.

LA OROYA, PERU – Yanina Gabriel's son started kindergarten this year, but she says the prospects for his educational future are as bleak as this smoke-choked town that shares its air with a U.S.-owned metal smelter.
"My little 5-year-old boy has been diagnosed with a high level of lead in his blood," said Gabriel, standing on the porch of her adobe house, overlooking the smelter that dominates this Andean town. "The teachers have already said he won't be able to pay attention as normal children do. We are always coughing, with constant stomach pain and eyes hurting."
Peru's government says it plans to announce soon whether to grant the privately held, St. Louis-based Doe Run Co.'s request for a three-year grace period to complete a sulfuric acid treatment plant. Demanded by Peru's Ministry of Energy and Mines, the plant would lower sulfur dioxide emissions.
The ruling had been scheduled for Friday, but ministry spokesman Rolando Martinez said officials decided to "push back the date for a few days because they're still evaluating" Doe Run's request.
The extension request has caused a firestorm of debate in Peru, with environmental groups and several lawmakers leaning heavily on regulators to deny the extension.
Doe Run officials say the company needs more time and that the environmental upgrades will cost nearly twice its original commitment. Many residents, including La Oroya's mayor, support an extension, fearful of losing the company and its jobs.
But Eliana Ames, coordinator of a grass-roots organization in La Oroya, said Peru's government should deal harshly with the company.
"They have the money to fulfill the pollution reduction but don't want to spend it," she said. Her organization has called for Peru to cancel Doe Run's contract and look for another company to replace it.
But that might not be necessary. Doe Run's auditors last March expressed "substantial doubt" about the viability of its Peruvian operations in a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Doe Run agreed to improve the facility – which produces copper, lead, zinc and smaller amounts of gold, silver and other metals – when it purchased the 82-year-old smelter in 1997 from state-owned Centromin, which ran the plant from 1974. But in late 2004, the company threatened to close its operations if the government did not grant more time to complete environmental upgrades.
Peru gave in, but said in February that any extension would not exceed three years. Doe Run had hoped for at least four.
Doe Run has said it would comply, but noted it will have to invest nearly $200 million for environmental projects, more than the $107 million it originally agreed to.
The company says it has invested more than $140 million to reduce lead emissions from the main stack by more than 28 percent since 1998, and reduced worker blood lead levels by more than 34 percent since 1997.
Other statistics reflect a different reality: More than 99 percent of nearly 800 children ages 6 and under living near the smelter had blood lead levels that still exceeded international standards, according to a study in 2004 by the company and health authorities.
In December, a team from the Saint Louis University School of Public Health found that cadmium, known to cause kidney failure and lung and prostate cancer, was six times higher than normal U.S. levels. Elevated levels of antimony, arsenic, cesium and other toxic substances also were found in the bodies of La Oroya's residents, their study found.
Doe Run's environmental troubles are not limited to Peru. The company has been ordered by the U.S. government to clean up pollution at its Herculaneum, Mo., smelter – the largest in the United States – which has repeatedly failed to meet federal air-quality standards for lead.

Real UFO Sighting Over Houston Texas | Real Alien Evidence | Alien Planet | Real UFO Videos
UFO, the mysterious moving object that appears in the sky occasionally is claimed to have no orthodox scientific explanation regarding its existence. As per the prevailing belief they are flying saucer and the same can be a monster spaceships carrying real extraterrestrials through clouds. Nowadays, UFO sighting has been a matter of amusement rather than a concern, even though there are ample evidences about their scary appearance. However, in postmodern culture, where Alien Videos are common, the movement of UFO needs to be taken as a serious matter. The appearance of flying saucer and their real images caught on tape is a proof of Alien life and the same has ignited the curiosity of NASA. They are in a set out to find out the hidden secrets of the extraterrestrials in the Universe.
Unidentified Flying Objects are reported to have often observed by air force personnel in military during their preparation for encounters. They used to mistake these flying objects as the consequence of the conspiracy of their rival groups. Some of the latest UFO incidents are caught on video camera by these daredevils, and their video footage has generated a big question mark in front of science.
In our Alien Planet Youtube channel, we have done our best to present the UFO related footage in a splendid manner. In that, you can view the real scary stories of UFO objects and enjoy yourself by leaving back a thought in your mind.

President Borg: Obama's inauguration speech a call to 'collective action'
Well, isn't that special! According to The One, Celebration of the individual is so passé; collectivism is where it's at. In his inauguration proclamation today, President Obama sang the praises of The Collective:
We do not believe that in this country, freedom is reserved for the lucky, or happiness for the few.

Obama: It is the collective effort that ensures the individual's realization of life, liberty and happiness. A declaration of conscience.
— Shubhra Raje (@shubhraraje) January 21, 2013
Now that he's successfully held on to his throne, he no longer needs to be subtle about his desire to turn citizens into his own personal army of obedient Borg. Drooling libs fawned:

NEW YORK - The U.N. oil-for-food program chief under scrutiny for alleged corruption and mismanagement blocked a proposed audit of his office around the same time he's accused of soliciting lucrative oil deals from Iraq, according to investigators.

A U.N. auditing team, which was severely understaffed, said running the $64 billion oil-for-food program was "a high risk activity" and a priority for review. But Benon Sevan denied the internal auditors' request to hire a consultant to examine his office in May 2001 - an act top investigators of the program are now calling into question.
"I think the auditors thought they were steered away from some areas," Paul Volcker, who is leading the independent probe, told The Associated Press.
"Our judgment is that the main office should have been audited. And that leaves the inference that perhaps the auditors were not encouraged to do the work. I think we draw the inference that it was at least suspicious."
Two months after Sevan refused the auditors' request, a Panamanian company, African Middle East Petroleum, purchased 1 million barrels of oil, which Iraq had allocated to Sevan - one of nine allocations made between 1998 and 2002 involving Sevan and believed to have netted the company $1.5 million, said an interim report Volcker's committee released this month.
The head of AMEP, Fakhry Abdelnour, a friend of Sevan, told investigators he paid $160,000 as a kickback to an Iraqi-controlled account in Jordan in October 2001 under one of the oil-for-food schemes under examination.

As a reader, and a very visual person, I enjoy picturing the characters and the settings as well as the clothing and the décor of the books I read. As a matter of fact, when it comes to setting, unless I can clearly picture where the characters are, I have this vague sensation that I, along with them, am just floating in the blackness of space. But it's a careful balance for every author to ensure that they don't bog down the pace of a book with too much description.
However, while I'm writing, being a very visual person, I need visuals—photos of my characters, blueprints of my rooms, pictures of my locations, snapshots of dogs and doodads—some to verify details, some just for the inspiration. When I first started writing, I gathered these visual prompts into folders on my computer—until I discovered Pinterest!
Just like any other social media, you can definitely get lost on Pinterest. I must admit that I immediately went looking to see which of my favorite authors had boards. Some do, some don't. As a reader and a visual person, I was very happy to find the boards of my favorites out there so I could explore and find out a bit more about their process and what they visualize as they are writing.
I'm still learning all the various ways to use Pinterest—still pinning away, but I wanted to share with you some of the ways I have used it while writing the Books of the Kindling.
First, the fabulous setting of More Than Magic—the gorgeous Appalachians in Western North Carolina. No one captures the beauty of those mountains better than Dave Allen Photography. He has done so many breathtaking shots that it is hard to pick one, but this one represents the view from Woodruff Mountain that tends to mesmerize guests.
And then there's the rest of the setting. When you are writing scenes, it's important to know the layout of rooms and even the precise arrangement of furniture. I went looking for the exact layout of the house, which involved an interesting exploration of house plan sites. I found a likely layout, made some modifications of my own, and voila—the Woodruff home. Here's the first floor.
And of course, you need to furnish your setting. The Woodruff home is comfortable and homey. I decided to search out some decorating ideas just so I would have a picture of the interior of the home in my head as I wrote, as well as the exterior, since they have a wonderful wraparound porch and sunroom. Actually, I would LOVE to live in this house!
*WARNING*: If you don't want to see what the characters of More Than Magic might look like from the author's perspective, go no further!
My character photos for More Than Magic were intended to capture the physical characteristics of the main characters.
Note that I didn't say "absolutely capture the main characters". I don't think any author can do that unless that author is also an artist. When I was trying to describe Grace Woodruff to someone early on I said that she was a "grown up Alexis Castle from the TV series Castle" (actress Molly Quinn). I was thrilled when the cover artist for More Than Magic—the fabulous Nathalie Gray—actually captured Grace perfectly on the cover of More Than Magic as a grown up Alexis Castle! What do you think?
And now the guys of More Than Magic. Again, finding someone who is a perfect match for what you see in your head would require being an artist, and a very good one at that. But I have to admit, this fellow comes very close to what I see when I think of Nick, although Richard's a bit older. He does have the necessary black hair, amazing gray eyes, and lean looks. You can imagine the rest (and that's the fun part). What do you think?
And finally, the fun stuff. You can also pin things like this, which fits in perfectly with the underlying theme of all the Books of the Kindling.
And that is how I use graphics to guide me as I write. Thanks for coming along!
* * * * *
Enjoy this excerpt from More Than Magic:
Scrambling to get everything back into his pack, which had tipped over, Nick sniffed the air like mad, checking the wind, trying to get a direction. His GPS unit, which hadn't been working a minute ago, had suddenly acquired a signal, or was trying to. But he was in a shallow ravine surrounded by rocks. He would have to climb up to acquire enough satellites.
His compass was working though. South. The smell was drifting from the south. Of course that didn't mean much, since he had no idea exactly where on the map he was, but he could figure it out pretty accurately once he had the last trackpoint the GPS had dropped.
Right now he wanted to reconnoiter and get a visual. Blundering into a working operation alone wasn't what this case was about and likely wouldn't answer any of his boss's questions, but he could at least confirm what his nose was telling him.
He hefted his pack by the straps and scrambled out of the ravine, one eye on the GPS display, expecting it to disappear at any second, but hoping—
The dog didn't so much bark as yell at him—a deep baying noise that scared the crap out of him and made him drop the GPS and his pack. He had almost reached his gun before he recognized the slender figure in the gaudy but colorful hat catching up with the dog. The crunch his pack made as it hit the rocks below echoed in the silence. His GPS made an equally loud noise scraping back and forth against the zipper of his jacket as it swung on its tether.
Pooka stood in front of him, tongue lolling, apparently not sure whether to go for his throat or lick him.
"Am I glad to see you," he said, looking up at Grace as he sank to his knees in front of the dog. "I thought I was a goner."
Mr. City Man was kneeling in front of her dog in the middle of her trail to her sang bed and for just a moment he hadn't looked at all like the convalescent who had checked in last night. In fact, she had regretted coming up here without her 12-gauge. But now he looked like he was going to throw up.
Grace took a deep breath. A million questions tumbled through her brain and adrenaline made her hair stand on end. Was Nick merely another guest who got lost out here thinking his fabulously expensive GPS would save him? Was he following her? Why on earth would a very sick man—because he was clearly still ill whether he would admit to it or not—get up at an ungodly hour to follow her into the cold damp of these woods?
She looked at the perspiration beading on his upper lip with a clinical eye. He was either running a fever or really scared. And she honestly couldn't tell which without whipping out her thermometer.
Was he after the sang? Not in his condition. He couldn't dig it up or transport it, but he might be trying to map its location for future digging. But why? He didn't look like the average sang poacher. Clearly he had money of his own. Top of the line GPS. Top of the line hiking boots. Top of the line windbreaker, although it looked a size too large for him. More evidence that he was, or had been, really ill.
And she wasn't really worried about the sang. Far better sang hunters had tried and failed to follow this trail, much less actually find the bed.
"Are you insane?" she asked.
Pooka relaxed and sat back on his haunches, but Nick gave her a puzzled look.
"No, don't answer." She threw up her hand. "I apologize. That was an unfair question." She took a breath. "What are you doing out here?"
Nick looked bewildered for a moment, then he looked down at his pack, and at his GPS, and back up at her again. "Hiking?"
She grimaced.
"Trying to hike?" he offered again.
When she's not being dragged down the sidewalk by her Jack Russell (if you know Jacks, you understand), Donna June Cooper is belly dancing (shiny!), reading (three books at once), writing (of course!) or complaining about the heat (no matter the temperature). A child of the Appalachians who was transplanted to Texas by her Italian husband, Donna returns to her mountain roots as often as possible, and takes us with her in her debut novel More Than Magic.

A RECORD number of students turned out to vote for next year's leaders of the University of Portmouth Students' Union.
More than 4,200 union members cast their votes online or at the ballot box to choose English and psychology graduate Amy Baker, 22, as their next president, among a number of sabbaticals and part-time officers.
The current president, Aakash Naik, who will stand down at the end of this year, said: 'It was a fantastic turnout – the biggest in the history of this university and also across all post-1992 universities.'
Aakash, 24, paid tribute to an 'exciting' year as president, adding: 'There's never been a dull moment. I feel privileged to have served the students of this university and fight their corner. My proudest moment was probably when 200 of us went to London to join the demonstration (against tuition fees).'

Light some white candles around your tub. Fill your bath full of warm-hot water with appropriate amount of Epsom salts. Soak for 20 minutes.
Standard tub: 2 cups Epsom salts or more as desired.
Garden tub or jetted tub: 4 cups Epsom salts or more as desired.
Note: The amount can vary. Some acupuncturists in the details below recommended using up to 12 pounds. 4 cups feels amazing. A milder version of his bath is great for calming children and getting them to bed and is said to help their moods too.
Epsom salts are magnesium sulfate. Magnesium could be called the happy mineral. Lack of magnesium in a diet is linked with depression and a host of other health conditions like diabetes, asthma, osteoporosis, PMS and migraines. Proper intake of magnesium can prevent heart attacks and strokes. Magnesium as a supplement is used to balance the nervous system, strengthen bones, enables energy production and to help control blood sugar. Most Americans are operating at about 65% deficiency of this mineral due to lack of green leafy veggies, nuts and seeds in the diet.
As a bath, the skin, which is the body's largest organ, is able to absorb the magnesium directly into the muscles and nerves and serves as a detox for heavy metals, tars and such that can be trapped in our soft tissue. After stretching or a massage, the toxins that are pushed out of the muscles can get stuck in the fascia and need help exiting the body. Maximum frequency of the more intense concentrations of this bath is about every 3 days.
Great quotes from an article by Barry Kapke on Water Wealth from massagetherapy.com that is also referenced in a forum at prohealth.com.
"Epsom salt baths provide a broad spectrum cleanser, clearing lymphatic congestion, removing some heavy metals (mercury, lead, aluminum, arsenic), and eliminating residual radiation from medical tests (X-rays or CAT scans), computer monitors and televisions, and UV exposure from frequent air travel. It is also helpful for chemical exposure — automobile exhaust, solvents, formaldehyde, glues, styrofoam, synthetic perfumes, printer and copier toners, art supplies, printing inks, particle board, household cleaning items, as well as chemical residues in foods or from inoculations.9 This is an important general maintenance bath for hospital personnel, computer operators, workers around toxic chemicals and those who fly regularly.
Epsom salts (magnesium sulfate) are a smooth muscle relaxant and will help with muscle strains and pain. They will induce profuse sweating. The high saline concentration makes the bath water denser than the body's interstitial fluids. Consequently, osmotic pressure pulls toxin-laden fluids out of the body.
This bath should be taken as hot as is tolerable, for 12-15 minutes; 1-4 pounds of Epsom salts in a full bathtub is recommended (the more salt, the more perspiration). Acupuncturist and health educator Irene Newmark suggests 2 pounds as a maintenance bath, for clearing lymphatics and the energetic body, and 4 pounds for radiation. Former AOBTA president Carl Dubitsky recommended a much higher concentration — 12-16 pounds for the first detox bath and 8-12 pounds for subsequent baths. One every three days is the maximum frequency, as this bath can have a draining effect."

White stones, white planets and individual freedom under universal law
Blair NB: author, 1963. xi, 113p., professionally printed text under a blank cover sheet, as it were self-wraps, 8.5 x 5.5 inches, punch-holed and fastened with screw-head bolts, as issued. Library accession stamp on the blank facesheet, no other markings, somewhat edgeworn with a tiny tear. Economics series, J. T. White, author.
The eccentric fastening is designed to accommodate authorial changes in the text as his thoughts change, p.xi an application blank to send in for projected modifications. "There is no final form for this book and it will be amended and re-written from time to time." The remarkably lucid (lucidly written) text is sort of premature postmodernism plus Maslovian notions of self-realization (but Maslow is not cited); it starts off with thoughts on psychological "integration" and an exemplary list of partially or fully integrated persons in recent history, such as Johann Goethe, Walt Whitman, Kipling, Edison, Carnegie, Genghis Khan, Rin Tin Tin, Hoot Gibson, Shirley Temple and William Shakespeare. Rinty made the list because "he knew but could not tell," Hoot for "his good heart." Pages 51-91 set forth a "Constitution and By-Laws of the Association for the Development of the Individual." White does not appear to have been influenced by drug use or any intimation of what the 1960s would bring, instead (where references crop up) to late 19th / early 20th century visionaries like Whitman and Arthur Brisbane. No whiff of Korzybsky or the null-A stuff it slightly resembles.

Jerry Rubin Dead At 56; '60S Yippie -- Radical Later Turned Yuppie Businessman
AP: Minneapolis-St. Paul Star Tribune
LOS ANGELES - Jerry Rubin, the Yippie who helped give 1960s anti-war protests their zany air and became a symbol of his generation's conversion to yuppie capitalism in the 1980s, is dead at age 56.
Rubin, the Chicago Eight defendant and prankster of the counterculture, died last night, hospital spokesman Angel Bracamontes said.
Rubin had been at the University of California-Los Angeles Medical Center since Nov. 14, when he was hit by a car while jaywalking across Wilshire Boulevard near his Brentwood home.
Rubin, who romped through demonstrations in the 1960s wearing an Uncle Sam hat and brandishing a toy M-16 rifle, turned to spiritualism in the 1970s and venture capitalism in the 1980s, evolving from a bearded radical into a tailored businessman selling health foods. He once said he had cut his hair and shaved so people would listen.
"He got caught up in the youth rebellions of the '60s," said Tom Hayden, fellow Chicago Eight defendant and now a California state senator. "But he had an organizing instinct. He was a P.T. Barnum, if you will. He had a flair for the dramatic and how to market a message."
Rubin and a band of radicals that included the late Abbie Hoffman and Paul Krassner formed the Youth International Party, or Yippies. They were major players during the bloody demonstrations at the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago.
The next year, President Nixon's new administration brought federal conspiracy indictments against eight radicals. Black Panther leader Bobby Seale and seven others, including Rubin and Hoffman, were charged with conspiracy to incite violence and crossing state lines with intent to riot.
U.S. District Judge Julius Hoffman ordered Seale bound and gagged when he protested rulings, and eventually severed Seale's case from the others, turning the Chicago Eight into the Chicago Seven.
The trial of the remaining seven became a 4 1/2-month spectacle. Wild-haired defendants Rubin, Hayden, Hoffman, Rennie Davis, David Dellinger, John Froines and Lee Weiner wore judicial robes into court. They and their attorneys were cited for contempt nearly 200 times, though all but 15 of the citations were dismissed.
All seven were acquitted of conspiracy; all but Froines and Weiner were convicted of intent to riot. Rubin, Hoffman, Davis, Dellinger and Hayden were sentenced to prison, but the U.S. 7th Circuit Court of Appeals overturned the convictions, citing errors by Judge Hoffman.
Twenty years later, Rubin would say that he "missed the sense of purpose, I miss the sense of righteous anger. . . . But I'm much healthier than I was then."
In the 1970s, Rubin discovered yoga, bioenergetics and a smorgasbord of self-awareness programs that eventually led him to Wall Street. His angle: "networking parties" for yuppie executives.
That didn't sit well with Abbie Hoffman, who appeared with Rubin in a series of "Yippie-vs.-yuppie" debates in the mid-1980s. But after Hoffman committed suicide at 52 in 1989, Rubin was the only Chicago defendant to attend the funeral.
Rubin continued to prosper and, in 1991, moved to Los Angeles as an independent marketer for a Dallas-based firm that sells a nutritional drink called Wow, containing kelp, ginseng and bee pollen. Seale was one of his salesmen.
"I'd like to remember him as a person who saw things very differently, who was a nonconformist, and that part of the American spirit suffered a blow with his passing," Hayden said.
------------------ THE CHICAGO EIGHT: ------------------ Where are they now?
Here is what happened to Jerry Rubin's fellow Chicago Eight defendants:
-- Abbie Hoffman: Committed suicide in April 1989 at 52, using phenobarbital and alcohol. Had been the most politically involved Yippie leader, although he vanished for seven years in New York to avoid cocaine-possession charges.
-- Rennie Davis: Right-wing capitalist and president of a Denver think tank that develops technologies for the environment. Briefly sold life insurance and dabbled in Hinduism.
-- David Dellinger: Longtime pacifist lives off grant money and lecturing fees near Peacham, Vt. Regularly fasts in a protest to change the name of Columbus Day to Native American Day.
-- John Froines: Director of the Occupational Health Center at the University of California, Los Angeles. Served in the Carter administration as director of toxic substances for the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
-- Tom Hayden: California state senator and founder of Students for a Democratic Society, spearheaded several environmental initiatives. Was married to actress Jane Fonda for 16 years; divorced in 1990.
-- Lee Weiner: Works with a direct-mail firm in Washington, D.C., for nonprofit organizations and political clients. In membership development at the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith in New York. Participated in recent protests for AIDS research and Soviet Jews.
-- Bobby Seale: The former Black Panther leader, whose case was severed from that of the others (turning the Chicago Eight into the Chicago Seven) works in minority recruitment at Temple University in Philadelphia, where he is doing graduate work in political science and African-American studies. Proceeds from his cookbook, "Barbecuin' with Bobby," have helped to fund scholarships for minority students.

What a beautiful weekend this was here in the northeast! It was cold, but clear and sunny! Perfect for fall fun… One of our favorite fall activities is apple picking! But, I just can't go apple picking without coming home with some fresh squeezed Apple Cider!
Everyone in my house has a runny nose right now including my husband and my kids are a bit too young for tea with honey… So, my natural solution to this is to make some Hot Mulled Apple Cider with a touch of honey! And it was a hit. I love hot apple cider just plain, but mulling it with some spices just takes it right out of this world! If you have never tried it, I urge you to try this simple recipe!
Hot Mulled Apple CiderServes 4
1 quart apple cider
2 cinnamon sticks
1 tsp. honey
1 orange peel
1 tsp. sliced fresh ginger
1 tsp. whole cloves
1 used nutmeg pit
1 oz. bourbon or dark spiced rum (optional)
Place all ingredients into a pot. Heat on high until just before boiling. Remove from heat when steaming. Strain into mugs. Serve with cinnamon stick and some shredded orange peel. Enjoy!

So I am more or less dating this girl, whom I love deeply. Things are fine until one day she told me she dated my twin brother (we're fraternal and are totally different. We have opposite personalities, look different, etc.) for like a week a year ago. So naturally I was surprised, but she assured me that she and him didn't do anything and are just friends now.
Thing is, she still spends a lot of time with him. From what I've heard it's just friendly stuff. Also, my twin brother and I hate each other and we don't talk. Ever. Don't ask.
Some of my friends told me that she's no good, and I should end it. They have a point; she broke up with me couple months back but we got back together (she said she was going through something rough and still had feelings for me). My friends have said she's just using me to get back at my brother.
I really love and care for this girl, but it also makes me uneasy that she is still good friends with my brother. I feel hurt and betrayed, and starting to doubt this entire relationship.
Advice, inspirational comment please?
Thank you
Most Helpful Guy
This sounds unhealthy. It will eat away at you over time, little by little. It's doomed. D:
I'm guessing these are friends you trust and have no reason to lie to you. If they unanimously agree she's using you, odds are they're right.
Sorry man but IMO you should start with the process of detaching your feelings from her. The sooner the better...
