University sources said 490 out of 500-odd students, who will be completing their graduation and post-graduation engineering courses in June, have already been picked up through campus interviews. There has been a quantum leap in salaries offered as well, with the bar being raised from the Rs 2-lakh per annum offers till last year. This year has witnessed a high of Rs 4.9 lakh per annum, followed by several in the Rs 3-lakh-plus category. According to a student of IIT-Kharagpur, the average at the tech school has been Rs 4 lakh per annum this time.
Subroto Mondol, chief of the placement bureau at JU, pointed out that it�s the first time that students from the mechanical, production, electrical, metallurgical streams � as opposed to just the electronics, telecommunications and computer science departments � have scored heavily at the campus interviews. According to Mondol, this can partly be attributed to the fact that the university had �increased interaction� with reputed companies over the past two years to ensure better job facilities for students.
Among the big ones to cast their net wide at JU are Wipro, IBM, Wipro Infotech, Infosys, TCS, CTS, Texas Instruments, Silicon Automation, Tisco, Telco, CEROT, NTPC, and IDBI.
IBM alone has accounted for 22 students from JU this time. �A large number of candidates from Jadavpur have been taken in because they have done well in the written tests,� said Sashikala Viswanathan, HR manager, IBM group, from Bangalore.
No less than 97 budding engineers have landed a job with Wipro. According to Ritesh Raina, campus relations manager, Wipro, it was company policy to pick up students from premier institutions across the country. �The students from JU scored heavily in the written round, beating back candidates from other leading engineering colleges,� explained Raina, from Bangalore.
Tirthankar Dhar, final-year student of production engineering recruited by Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), felt the credit for this year�s campus interview scorecard should �go to the students� who had excelled �against all odds�, including a long-dawn work-to-rule by teachers this session.
But Mondol felt the success story has been scripted by a combination of factors, including the high academic standards set by teachers, the syllabus which had been restructured according to �market� requirements, and the efforts of university authorities to build bridges with leading engineering firms.
On Wednesday night, as Gopal Krishna Roy and his wife were travelling down the Bypass, criminals used a bamboo to �trip� his scooter and then beat him up, before escaping with his briefcase. The next morning, Roy succumbed to his injuries.
Shaken into action after Roy�s death created an uproar across the city, the police raided a number of slums between Tiljala and Chingrighata, along the Bypass, in search of criminals through late Thursday night and early Friday.
But even though most of the criminals had fled the area, the police claimed that one of the persons behind Wednesday�s crime, Bhola, was arrested from a shanty in a Chingrighata slum, where he was hiding. Interrogation has revealed that the crime was committed by a four-member gang who had taken up operating in the area in the past couple of months. Bhola told the police that all of them came from nearby slums and had once again revived the early Eighties� practice of �tripping� two-wheelers and then robbing the riders.
The police claim they now have leads to the whereabouts of the other gang members and will carry out sustained raids to net them.
Meanwhile, security in the area, which has seen a number of dacoities in the recent past, has been stepped up with a number of highway patrol cars on duty throughout the night.
The director-general of police, Deepak Sanyal, visited Roy�s widow at her Salt Lake residence on Friday afternoon and assured her that her husband�s killers would be apprehended soon.
A division bench, comprising Chief Justice A.K. Mathur and Justice Girish Gupta, instead, asked the deputy inspector-general of police of the criminal investigation department (CID) to probe the incident afresh.
On September 8 last year, the girl, roaming aimlessly in the Watgunge area, was picked up by a police patrol. The next day, she was produced at Alipore court, where the magistrate ordered that she be sent to Presidency Jail for safe custody.
On September 19, after returning to prison from another appearance before the magistrate, the girl was found by other inmates, huddled up and weeping inconsolably. After being repeatedly asked why she was crying, the girl used sign language and gestures to tell the other women in the prison that she was raped by the police on the way back from prison. The inmates raised a hue and cry over the issue, drawing the attention of the jailer.
A medical examination was ordered the next day and the attending prison doctor reported that the girl had, indeed, been sexually abused.
On the basis of a public interest litigation filed by advocate Tapas Bhanja, seeking a CBI probe into the alleged crime, the high court asked for a report from the detective department. Chief Justice Mathur and Justice Gupta observed that the report submitted by the detective chief was �an effort to shield the guilty.� They directed the deputy inspector-general of the CID to submit the report within two months and called for �stern action� against the culprits.
The detective department submitted before the court that the girl had �not� been molested by policemen accompanying her.
My first wish was to have a cycle. But then I realised that our house is too small to keep a cycle in. Then, I saw Kaun Banega Crorepati?, and then Mohabbatein three times, and I decided that I wanted to go to Mumbai to meet Amitabh, and maybe even be on TV...
When they (Make-A-Wish Foundation) told me that it was really going to happen, I was so excited. On Tuesday morning, we all left, on a plane. When we reached, they took me to the sets of Kaun Banega Crorepati? First, I changed into Raj Kapoor clothes, and then I went down to the studio.
They were shooting, but after they finished, they let me sit in the hotseat! I took pictures with Amitabh uncle, and so did mummy and everyone else. I called him Mr Shri Narayan Shankar (his name in Mohabbatein), and he was so happy! Then, we all went to Amitabh uncle�s room beside the studio. There was such a big model of a car there! And there were posters all over the room of him, and Abhishek Bachchan, in all different films.
Then, I turned quiz-master. I asked him what our country�s national anthem is. I gave him four options � a) Vande Mataram; b) Saare Jahan Se Achcha; c) Jhhanda Ooncha Rahe Hamara and d) Jana Gana Mana. He picked the wrong answer, Saare Jahan Se Achcha... But I think he did it on purpose.
I gave Amitabh a toffee, which I had got on the plane. And I sang and danced to my favourite Raj Kapoor song, Jeena Yahan, Marna Yahan, from Mera Naam Joker.
Amitabh took this big poster of himself and the heroes of Mohabattein off his wall and gave it to me! And I said I liked another one of Abhishek, and he was going to give that to me too, but I stopped him. Where would I hang it in my house?
I met Siddhartha (Basu) �uncle� as well, and he gave me a bag, that says �Star Plus Kaun Banega Crorepati� on it, with a KBC watch, cap and shirt inside.
They told me that I couldn�t be on the show because I am only seven. But they are so nice... and they told me I could be on the Bournvita quiz show instead!
I went for the Bournvita Quiz Contest on Thursday. I met Derek uncle, and he asked me a lot of questions, and then we started shooting.
I was the �celebrity� of the day. I sang Jeena yahan... and asked the contestants to the name the actor. They answered that easily, but then they were shown a photograph of a bird flying, and I had to ask what bird it was. None of them knew!
Derek uncle told me that I had asked a very difficult question, and that I was the �best guest� they had ever had on the show. I then signed my name on this big gol thing. And another aunty gave me a box with so many toffees... no, chocolates, in it. I haven�t had them yet...We came back on Thursday night...
Right now, I�m too tired to go anywhere. But a few months later, I think I would like to visit Mumbai, again, this time in a train, to meet Amitabh and Derek uncle.
Attempts have been on since 1997 to construct an auditorium on the playground there. That plan seemed to have been aborted soon afterwards, because archaeological finds were discovered there. Suddenly, renewed efforts are being made to put it up � even by flouting laws.
The government has declared both buildings as heritage structures. They share a campus and also the playground. The old coach-house used to stand there and it was pulled down that year to make space. Of course, nobody pointed out that it was an assault on history.
Years ago, the plot used to be wasteland. When it was founded in 1849, it was meant for Hindu women alone, and went by the name of either Hindu Female School or Calcutta Female School. It was named after John Elliot Drinkwater Bethune only after the death of the educationist.
The Shimla area used to be a marketplace, and according to archival documents, it was so even way back in 1765. It continued to be in that state till 1905, when on the initiative of then headmaster, Shyama Charan Gupta, the market moved away. The plot was incorporated into the school in 1916. Since 1920, it has served as the playground.
Though the Bethune School authorities were against the plan to construct an auditorium (the plot was the only open space for its girls), in April 1997 the playground began to be dug up to build a 250-seat auditorium for the college with close to 1,000 students. Relations between the college and the school are still strained over this. The excavations yielded artefacts of historical significance, though the directorate of state archaeology has, time and again, cried itself hoarse denying their importance. Building the auditorium was stayed and archaeological excavation was done in two phases � November 1997 to January 1998, and December 1998 to February 1999.
For nearly two years, building activity stopped. Then suddenly this February, there was a flurry around the pit. The contractor, who is building the auditorium, has reportedly prepared its model. Building material began to be piled up near the plot, and it buzzed with activity again.
But a couple of days ago, work stopped again, just as soon as it began. Bonani Kakkar of the NGO, People United for Better Living in Calcutta (PUBLIC), in a letter dated February 1, had drawn the attention of Debashish Som, commissioner, Calcutta Municipal Corporation (CMC), to the building activity in the compound, in contravention of the heritage laws. The plan needed to be okayed by the heritage committee.
Soon, the building department of CMC found out that the Public Works Department (PWD), which is in charge of its construction, had not even bothered to take CMC sanction for putting up the new structure. CMC has served a stop-work notice on PWD.
What is even more surprising, the PWD built a new wing of the school, named Vidyasagar Bhavan, in record time in 1999, after demolishing another school building that dated back to the 1880s. Nobody intervened then either. The principal of Bethune College, Pushpa Mishra, refused to see this correspondent, and instead, stated through an emissary that one should meet the PWD representatives instead.
The headmistress of Bethune School, Chhaya Sengupta, was unable to answer any questions because Wednesday was her last day in school.
The programme will involve traffic regulation on a major scale. After conducting a survey in the area, it has been decided that autorickshaws, Matador vans and Trekkers will be allowed to park only on one side of the road. Hawkers will no longer be allowed to do business on the main road.
Deputy superintendent of police (Town) Subhankar Chatterjee said gradually, Garia, Bagha Jatin, Jadavpur, Bansdroni and Behala will come under the ambit of the programme. The project will be funded by the district administration, with Metro Railway pitching in for the Tollygunge stretch. Officer-in-charge of Behala police station Subir Chatterjee said: �Meetings were held with the local transport operators and political leaders to solve the traffic problem.�
To run the project smoothly, 70 extra constables and 15 special sergeants will be deployed. These sergeants will have the power to prosecute errant drivers which the policemen on duty cannot do. Median lines will be drawn and dividers put up on the main roads. A traffic regulation awareness drive is on the cards, additional district magistrate (development) Utpal Mukherjee said.
Luwang, a doctor by profession, said at a function here yesterday that a medical college could be established only in accordance with the rules framed by the Medical Council of India. He expressed displeasure over the fact that some medical institutions in the state were violating these rules.
Sources said a few medical and nursing colleges had been illegally established in the state. The W. Nipamacha Singh government overlooked the problem, but the People�s Front government is doing the reverse, they said.
Luwang is reportedly contemplating closing down all such institutions unless the Medical Council of India certifies these as legal. The number of private hospitals and nursing homes in this capital town has increased manifold over the past few years. Most of these hospitals do not have the infrastructure required to provide the best possible treatment to patients. The doctors who examine patients in these institutions are mostly attached to government hospitals.
Luwang said private hospitals flouting the Manipur Nursing Act would face stringent steps. He said the health department could not allow private hospitals without proper infrastructure to operate. In a statement last year, Governor Ved Marwah expressed unhappiness over government surgeons performing operations in private hospitals.
A doctor posted at the Regional Institute of Medical Sciences was later pulled up when a patient he had operated upon at a private hospital died. The case was taken up by the Manipur Human Rights Commission.
Luwang said yesterday that apart from salaries, government doctors were being paid non-practising allowances. �But many doctors treat patients privately despite being paid non-practising allowances. This is illegal,� he added. The health minister said he would try to stop the trend of government doctors practising in private hospitals. �Those who still want to treat patients privately should not accept non-practising allowances,� he said.
On scarcity of specialists in the hill districts of the state, Luwang said the new government would take steps to ensure that each hill district had at least one specialist.
He said specialists could be sent to the hill districts �on rotation�, with each posting lasting three months. �I urge doctors not to shirk responsibility and avoid working in the remote areas,� he added. The health minister disclosed that the Japanese government had agreed to construct a hospital in Manipur and sanctioned Rs 4 crore for the purpose. However, construction is yet to begin as the previous state government failed to select a proper site for the hospital. Luwang said he would do the needful soon.
CPM leaders also denied claims by the AGP that the Left parties were taken into confidence before discussions were held with NDA partners.
�Our party is yet to hold any discussion with the AGP about the coming Assembly elections. If the AGP has been holding discussions with any other party on any electoral understanding, then they have been doing it on their own and we were not told about it,� CPM central committee member Uddhab Barman today said in a sharp reaction to the AGP declaration.
AGP vice-president Nurul Hussain yesterday said his party has been holding parleys with NDA partners in the state.
Hussain also claimed that the AGP had taken both the Left parties into confidence about initiating parleys with NDA partners in Assam for a poll tie-up.
Hussain told newsmen that both the Left parties are opposed to a tie-up with the BJP but they have no objection to the AGP holding discussions with any NDA partner. The AGP leader, however, ruled out any truck with the BJP. If the reaction of the CPM to the AGP holding discussions with the NDA partners is any indication, then the Left party is still not convinced about the ruling party�s declared stand towards the BJP. Cracks surfaced in the four-party ruling coalition after the AGP youth wing invited Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Nirupam to address a rally in the city.
Incidentally, the AGP youth wing also invited leaders of several other NDA partners to the rally but the two Left parties were not invited.
The cracks in the four-party alliance widened after the two AGP members in the Rajya Sabha voted in favour of the BJP on a motion relating to the Babri Masjid issue.
The Left parties took strong exception to this stand of the AGP parliamentarians. Chief minister and AGP president Prafulla Kumar Mahanta, however, justified the party MPs� stand, saying that the AGP had opposed the motion as it was brought by the Congress.
Following these developments, both the CPM and the CPI had demanded that the AGP should clarify its stand on the BJP. The AGP later described the BJP�s politics �to be against secularism and unity� in its political resolution adopted at the Nagaon conference.
Road blockade: The Assam unit of the Youth Congress will block roads in all district headquarters on March 12 in protest against railway minister Mamata Banerjee�s alleged indifference towards the Northeast in general and Assam in particular.
Initiating his private member�s resolution, CPM legislator Samir Deb Sarkar said the allocation of Rs 40 crore for the project in the current budget for the next financial year came as a �shock� as the total cost of the project was Rs 875 crore. Last year too, the amount allocated was the same, he added.
Transport minister Sukumar Barman and CPM legislator Khagendra Jamatya also slammed the Centre as well as Union railway minister Mamata Banerjee for �ignoring Tripura�.
Attributing the puny allocation to the Union railway minister�s lack of awareness about the state of Railways in Tripura, they stated that the completion of the railway project was crucial to the state�s development.
However, striking a discordant note, Tripura Upajati Juba Samity MLA Rabindra Debbarma said the much-hyped railway line connecting North Tripura and the capital could give easy passage to Bangladeshi infiltrators and outsiders.
He referred to similar opposition to railway extension in Meghalaya and said the state could do without the rail line to save the indigenous tribals from being swamped by outsiders.
In his reply, chief minister Manik Sarkar deplored the Union railway minister�s failure to honour her commitment in regard to budgetary allocation for the development of Railways in Tripura.
The chief minister also said he had spoken to Mamata Banerjee before the budget was placed, requesting her to increase the allocation. He said development in railway infrastructure was essential for investment in the state.
The House resolved to make an appeal to the Union government for more allocations for the Kumarghat-Agartala railway project and the 110-km Agartala-Sabroom project, the cost of which at current prices has been estimated to be Rs 390 crore.
Biodiversity museum
The biodiversity museum of Gauhati University�s zoology department � which boasts of a variety of fossils from the region�s indigenous species � has enabled students to study the evolutionary sequences of fossils in the Northeast, reports our Guwahati correspondent.
As another feather in its cap, the museum, because of the shift from �taxonomic to field-level studies�, has graduated from a department museum to a general biodiversity one. It was started in 1963 for the benefit of the students and researchers in the subject.
The Congress has been demanding that inspector-general of police (intelligence) Kishore Jha be reprimanded for his alleged misconduct with Congress MLAs in the House on February 23.
Yesterday, three MLAs, Sudip Roy Barman, Ratan Lal Nath and Dipak Roy, were suspended after they accused the Speaker of being �chieftain of dacoits� and threw potatoes and rotten eggs at him.
Despite withdrawal of the suspension order, the three legislators could not attend the day�s session because of a �communication gap�.
With the entire Congress bench staying away, the day�s proceedings began quietly with chief minister Manik Sarkar bringing in a motion to withdraw the suspension order passed by the Speaker on the three Congress legislators. The motion was passed unanimously and Sarkar ruled that the suspension stood withdrawn.
The officers from the chief minister�s office called on the three MLAs at their homes and apprised them of the withdrawal of the suspension order. But the legislators maintained that they would not attend the House without being aware of the business to be transacted on the day. By the time the relevant papers reached the MLAs, it was 2 pm and they did not come to the House.
However, leader of the Opposition Jawhar Saha hinted that the Assembly would function only five days (Monday to Friday) from next Monday, indicating that things would be normal. Saha said he had sought the intervention of Lok Sabha Speaker G.M.C. Balayogi into the impasse.
Sources in the Assembly said following a plea made in the House by veteran Congress MLA Ashok Bhattacharya for ending the deadlock, Sarkar called a meeting with the Congress legislators. Parliamentary affairs minister Keshav Mazumder, Congress MLAs Ashok Bhattacharya, Birajit Sinha and the leader of the Opposition attended the meeting.
The meeting resolved that the Congress Legislature Party will treat the �issue of IGP Kishore Jha�s� assault on them as closed in the spirit of �forgive and forget� and the suspension order on the three MLAs would be withdrawn.
Sarkar, accompanied by Mazumder and Congress MLAs, then met the Speaker and apprised him of the decision reached at the meeting.
The Assembly today functioned normally after five days of bickering.

Thanks, Mark
Hi Mark,
I use Visual Studio 2010 before. It contains everything that makes VCC work properly. So, I suppose 2012 also contains them. I'll check if I have the other components installed.
Many thanks.

Following from my exposure of governments planning inflation deliberately (why it's called a target rather than an aim), I have heard so many idiots on the radio praising price rises I must do my best, not as an economist but basic in accounting, why it can never be a good thing for anyone.
If you start with the obvious, your food and energy costs are essentials, and if they go up you earn the same and have less for everything else. If everything else goes up you have more and more set back for essentials less for luxuries. The only people who benefit from rising prices (albeit temporarily, as they have to spend the money on things themselves which have also gone up) are investors, actual consumers can never gain from prices going up, as if they have the same amount it won't go as far. Obviously.
Then they still cheer when their house is worth more, they paid less so are in their minds paying less now than its worth. No, they are paying what it was worth to them the day they bought it, and have a fixed loan which will never change whatever it is worth today. And come the time they sell it then every penny will be lost when they buy another one, none of it will be theirs unless they trade down, and then if they do they will never be able to return where they were in future unless they earn a lot more, as however much the current property goes up (inflates) all the other better ones will do more. It's like any other balloon, pump them up more and the bigger ones will go from being 50% larger than the small ones to twice as big. You'll simply never catch up, either as a first time buyer, as you have no assets at all to liquidate, so totally dependent on your income, or as an owner, as whatever yours goes up the better ones must go up more as 10% of 500 is more than 10% of 300 etc.
Negative equity was raised as a downside, but that is the fault of the market and not the system. Anyone risking so much for a property not worth the amount has become an investor, and will suffer the same conequences as any other if their asset goes down. Unless they are forced to move then the usual route is to keep it and pay down the debt and then you will catch up. If not then you will still pay less for another one, if you have anything left, and it is so unusual it is barely worth considering, as negative equity only happens when there is such high inflation it becomes temporarily corrected. But as houses are essentials they rarely stay down that long so the problem usually vanishes on its own.
Otherwise it's pretty simple. You save money, inflation makes it worth less. You earn interest, it may not keep up with inflation. You earn the same, prices go up, same result. It's only the friend of crooks who borrow other people's money, invest it in things which go up slightly more than inflation, and fix the term of the loan so the longer it lasts the less they pay in real terms, assuming their asset beats the rise then they make a profit. They produce nothing, all they're doing is spending someone else's money and paying them to loan it out, and create absolutely zero in the process. Real business is adding value through work or production, and just because long term loans are reduced by inflation it wrecks the economy for absolutely no practical benefits.
The only good inflation (technically it isn't real inflation, as it only relates to prices) is wage rises, as they are the indications of a genuinely growing economy, so while China has the far larger economy than Britain, last time they told me each person earned on average 1/7 than Britain, so were many times poorer. Earnings to price ratio is the actual measure of economic success, so in Britain in the 60s you could buy a house for 3X average income, now it's 10X. Therefore Britain has shrunk its genuine economy (entirely through inflation) three times in 50 years, they are dropping while China is rising. We have peaked and are going down. But unless people understand inflation is a relative parameter between average/absolute prices v earnings they will get lost and fooled by businesses and governments every time. High prices are always bad, as if you sell high you still have to spend the money and everything else will have gone up as well so that money is worth less as all relative to earnings alone. So rising wages are the sign of health and rising prices the sign of fraud.

Poverty or economic insecurity manifests itself directly and indirectly on child development. Here are just a few ways in which poor children suffer that privileged kids do not. In this article I choose not to dwell obvious effects of children's environments such as the fact that fewer books lead to lower educational attainment. These factors are important and will be described in the next post, but in this section I try to focus on the link between poverty and physiological outcomes.
- Physiological development: As long as poverty is viewed as a voluntary condition that people can pull themselves out of by their own means we will continue to hear vacuous comments about presumed causal relationships that have little to do with reality. One of these myths is that the prevalence of obesity among low-income groups proves America doesn't have a poverty problem. "They can't be poor (undernourished) because they're overweight. They must be lazy and not want to work." goes the rumors. Too often we hear poor people described this way because it seems to make sense in a very superficial way. In countries like the U.S. where starchy food are cheaper than more fibrous and protein rich foods childhood obesity more often goes along with poverty than affluence because it's only foods they can afford. Poor children often grow up in unsafe neighborhoods that are 'food deserts', making access to healthy foods outdoor play and exercise unattainable. Furthermore, these children are more likely to eat and inhale pesticides and chemicals that in some studies have displayed endocrine disrupting properties (xenoestrogens). Precocious puberty has been linked to both higher levels of body fat as well as estrogen acting chemicals. Foods that kick our children's hormones off kilter at an early age are not limited to the poor – in fact adolescents now reach puberty a full year earlier than 15 years ago – but natural, organic foods and products are more often out of their price range.
- Brain development: A study recently published in JAMA Pediatrics finds that poverty has a significant negative effect on brain development. In a study that monitored 6-12 year-old children since their preschool years, poor children presented with anomalous brain scans compared to the non-poor. Those who were exposed to poverty early in life had smaller volumes of white and cortical gray matter as well as smaller hippocampus and amygdala, which has been associated with behavior and learning problems.
- Parenting: The study above attributes the lower brain mass to be a direct effect of the parents' stress levels. Economic stress tends to shift the pendulum in the direction of more authoritarian parenting practices and will more frequently result in child abuse. One study indicates that just since the recession child abuse has increased six-fold. In one experiment, which brings associations to the famous marshmallow test, the children were given a wrapped gift not to be opened until the researchers were ready for them. Poor parents displayed less patience and nurturance towards their children during this waiting game. Says Joan L. Luby, a child psychiatrist at Washington University and principal investigator of the study, "Parents can be less emotionally responsive for a whole host of reasons. They may work two jobs or regularly find themselves trying to scrounge together money for food," The prevalence of "high-frequency spanking" among mothers increases six-fold and can be linked to elevated risk of abuse (unless high frequency spanking in itself is considered abuse) The longitudinal study, which followed a random sample of 5000 families over 9 years, found a strong negative relationship between consumer confidence and high frequency spanking. These results indicate that the recession was associated with parents' high frequency use of discipline behaviors that may indicate risk for abuse. Since the recession also tends to affect the number of recorded cases negatively as the institutions that normally report these are more likely to be underfunded, there is great chance that the documented increase is on the low end. One of the most fascinating opportunities in this age of big data is that we can collect and analyze peoples' most honest queries – the questions that they ask our modern-day oracle, Google. Google intern Seth Stephens-Davidowitz, did just that, and found a significant increase in queries of this heart-wrenching variety: "Why did my father beat me?" What was revealed was a direct relationship between abuse-related Google-queries and economic stress. Stephens-Davidowitz says that on weeks that unemployment claims rose, these searches rose as well.
Update September 2014: Thankfully the over all childhood poverty rate is slowly decreasing as more parents are getting jobs. However, due to the increasing economic gaps between states and regions, even the recovery is uneven, leaving many of the poorest behind.
These are only some of the ways in which the current high level of poverty will affect the youngest generation. To read how poverty affects education and consumer patterns, please follow the next section.

COMPLICATED times these for Celtic and Neil Lennon.
They shouldn't be, of course. In normal circumstances the last couple of weeks of what has been a fairly spectacular campaign should be savoured and enjoyed.
The club and its manager ought to be able to relax over the summer and bask in the glory of a successful season while licking lips at the prospect of many more silver linings ahead.
Celtic stand on the threshold of a prolonged period of domination, the likes of which Scottish football may never have seen before.
For all the black clouds that hang over our national game it's raining nothing but trophies, medals and baubles over Paradise. The ball may be burst for the rest of them but, for the champions, the boom is only just beginning.
On a personal level, the manager will this weekend collect an award from the Scottish Football Writers, which just goes to show that this country's hacks have forgotten more about the game than its players or even its sponsors might ever know.
The SPFA must be quietly embarrassed by the decision of its members to crown Allan Johnston as this season's outstanding managerial achiever on the strength of a Second Division title and Ramsdens Cup when Lennon was taking on all-comers in the most prestigious competition to be found anywhere in world football.
That's not to belittle Johnston who did all that could be expected of him and a whole lot more at his own level. But he too was blushing when he picked up his trophy and no wonder.
His big moment was reminiscent of 2008 when Hamilton's Billy Reid scooped the big one for winning promotion to the SPL – as Walter Smith was leading Rangers to a UEFA Cup Final.
Thankfully, the writers were on hand back then to recognise Smith's achievements properly and on Sunday Lennon will deservedly receive the same treatment.
There is, of course, something even more significant Lennon can look forward to with Hibs waiting for him at Hampden in what could be the perfect end-of-season finale.
It has been six years since Celtic last secured a league and cup double so Lennon is now just 90 minutes away from creating a little piece of history.
Yep, he should be having the time of his life as he prepares to kick back for a couple of weeks at his favourite holiday retreat in the Algarve, where he will meet Rangers boss Ally McCoist for a shootout on the golf course.
The irony here is that if only this pair were still going head to head where it really matters, on Scotland's football pitches, then Lennon's own position would be a lot more straightforward.
But something is eating Lennon and it's not just the latest news he is wanted in Stoke.
Seriously, have you ever been to Stoke? I spent a Saturday night there once. Never again. It was like waking up in 1972.
But even though this may be the only place on earth – with the exception of Ryhl – in which a 55-year-old baseball-cap-wearing Welshman can be taken seriously, Lennon would be off his own head to dismiss the idea of succeeding Tony Pulis at the Britannia.
Because, even if it feels as if he's travelling back in time, England's Premier League is where his future lies. Maybe at Everton. Maybe at Stoke.
Maybe somewhere else entirely but Lennon can no longer twiddle his thumbs up here, going through the motions as he lifts one trophy after the next without ever gaining the true respect of his peers.
The truth is – and as much as the suggestion will make Lennon bristle with indignation – Scottish football is a wasteland now that Rangers are rotting in a mess of their own making.
Without that rivalry to use as a yardstick, Lennon could produce the most dominant Celtic team of all time and still not be given his due unless it is competing outside its own borders, taking scalps in the Champions League.
And the odds say that can't be done every year. In fact, it is likely to become harder and harder for Celtic to qualify for UEFA's top event and not just because this summer Lennon must negotiate three elimination double-headers before the group stage begins.
On top of that busy summer match schedule, he knows full well he is about to lose some of his most valued players who will not hang around in this stale, lifeless environment for a moment longer than they have to.
And he realises also that – with so little appeal and lack of lure – it will be almost impossible to recruit replacements of like-for-like quality.
All of which means Celtic will inevitably have to downsize just at a time when Lennon is maturing as a manager and his own ambitions are blossoming accordingly.
And then there's his relationship with chief executive Peter Lawwell, which has blown hot and cold over the last couple of years.
Lawwell likes to exert a level of control over all matters within Parkhead. And some outside for that matter.
But the more Lennon grows into his own skin as a coach, the less minded he will be to tolerate any kind of
interference from above. The longer they both remain in position, the greater the friction between dugout and boardroom is likely to become.
It is indeed interesting to note that, in the next week or so, Lennon has a date with majority shareholder Dermot Desmond.
These talks may well determine if Lennon stays or goes this summer. If it's the latter, Lawwell may even find his own wings being clipped.
But the smart money says Lennon will find it hard to resist should an exciting proposition hit his desk. Which is precisely why Desmond may want to rip up Lennon's one-year rolling contract and make his man an offer he simply cannot refuse.
Lennon has done enough to deserve a decent pay rise but that's not the main reason Desmond should take another look at the figures.
If another club does come calling in the coming weeks, Celtic's best interests would be protected by tieing up of their manager on a longer, more lucrative deal.
As things stand, Everton, Stoke or whoever else could pick Lennon and his coaching staff up for a relative pittance just by stumping up enough cash to cover 12 months' wages.
Desmond may well see the sense in addressing this situation immediately and offering Lennon a four- or
five-year deal in the dual hope of incentivising his manager on the one hand while on the other insuring that, if he does leave, at least he does so at the proper going rate.
It's all more complicated than it ought to be. But some straightforward, decisive action by Desmond may also show Lennon how much he is wanted by his club at a time when others are fluttering their eyelids in his direction.
Lennon would be mad to stay if he's offered an escape route over the border, especially if the tunnel leads all the way to Merseyside.
But, equally, Celtic would be mad not to try to hang on to him for a while yet.
Either way, the days and weeks ahead should be fascinating.

I can't keep wanting you & not be wanted the same back
Even though there isn't long left, I think I should stop now.

Don't say that. If you don't mind me being blunt that makes you look desperately needy however if you want to lose him for good send it. If you want him to want you give him something he's afraid to lose00|00|0
So what do I do then?
- Show AllShow Less
Hold back a little. Get more involved in your own life. Tell him occasionally no. Guys love a yes girl but they don't necessarily respect them. I know it's hard. I know you don't want to lose him but you have to put yourself first. Get out with friends more or take up hobbies. Don't give him all your time when he wants it. If he doesn't try harder when he knows it's harder to get your time then maybe it's better he does go. But you need to hold some cards too. He can't be the one to decide when you meet when you don't. Has he ever cancelled on you cos he was tired or busy doing something else. You need to do it too. But when you see him don't moan about distance or issues you think you both have be happy to see him enjoy your time with him. he may not even realise you feel like this so fix it before it's broken learn your womanly skills and use them. Our greatest gift is to make a decision and praise you guy for making it. Like you want to try a new restaurant so you say
You say something like babe you know that place you were talking about lets get a take away or go out there next weekend. When you go tell him it really was lovely. Even if you didn't enjoy all of it pick out things you did like and work with that. A fresher healthier mentality is far more attractive than being scared and stressed.

A quality court reporter takes intentional actions to achieve excellence. This requires the professional court reporter and her court-reporting support team to implement Quality Assurance safeguards. It's these safeguards that provide stenographers a necessary ingredient in providing excellent customer service.
Deposition rules that govern objections, stipulations, and practices also direct the way a court reporter processes a transcript for submission to witness for review. As South Carolinians, time-honored traditions are embraced and celebrated, but some traditions need to be changed, or at least updated, because court rules and technology have evolved.
CompuScripts Court Reporters has often been asked, "What makes a good court reporter?" In our 24 years serving the legal community, we've assembled a host of resident court reporters in South Carolina and a network of court reporters across the United States. Below are six soft and hard skills that make a good court reporter.
CompuScripts' court reporting business is built on relationships and professional competence. It's been that way since the start, locally and globally. Debbie Dusseljee, CompuScripts' president, was reminded of this recently when she had the privilege of gathering with lifelong friends, many of whom are CompuScripts' court reporting network partners.
This extraordinary group of thought leaders, skilled professionals, and just good people from around the United States and throughout the world range from independent court reporters, firm owners, or legal videographers, to legal vendors. These leaders have been our allies for years in bringing you the best practices in the court reporting and legal industries.
Highly technical cases, such as medical malpractice and toxic tort litigation, require an experienced, knowledgeable court reporter. Physicians and other witnesses, including expert witnesses and healthcare professionals, present challenging testimony during the quick back-and-forth volley of questions and answers heard in a deposition laden with medical jargon. Whether you are talking about a drug company's possible negligence, questionable pharmaceutical practices, potentially dangerous and defective medical devices, a misdiagnosis, childbirth injury, or surgical error, a medical court reporter is adept at taking down verbatim testimony in some of the most challenging cases.

Paralegals and other individuals have worked for years to assist in the protection of the public and to bolster the continuing education of paralegals by urging the Bar and Judiciary to require certification for paralegals and legal assistants, whether serving in a corporate venue, real estate and title office, non- governmental organization, public defender's office, governmental establishment, judicial environment, nursing business, or law firm. (more…)Read more..
Caveat emptor, attorneys and litigants in South Carolina! There is no oversight of independent court reporters in the Palmetto State, and as such, there are wide and varying practices and policies followed by those who perform the duties of freelance court reporters and their affiliated companies. Part of the mission of the South Carolina Court Reporters Association is to maintain the integrity and elevate the standards of the court reporting profession and portray the ideals set by the National Court Reporters Association (NCRA). CompuScripts' founder is a long-standing member of NCRA, and CompuScripts subscribes to the Code of Ethics promulgated by NCRA. In addition to promoting competence, professionalism, continuing education, and ethics, NCRA issues advisory opinions, position statements, and accredits schools. Unfortunately, many court reporters in South Carolina see no need for membership in such a professional organization. (more…)Read more..
Perspective by Debbie Dusseljee, CompuScripts President
As Court Reporting & Captioning Week draws to a close, I'd like to share a brief synopsis of my career to pique your interest in the professional life and career of a court reporter. While you will hear some people voice concerns about technological advances in voice recognition rendering us obsolete, I see expanding opportunities for using yet another tool in the advancement in the art of capturing the spoken word as written text. You will always need a neutral guardian to verify the integrity of a legal record, and into the foreseeable future, there are many environments where sounds cannot be processed exclusively by machinery. Harkening back to my Trekkie days, even in Star Trek's original series, I remember there was a court reporter in its two-part episode of "The Menagerie" when Spock was on trial. (more…)Read more..
Litigation is not the only thing that takes a hit when technology fails. Apparently Microsoft Surface tablets were not functioning properly during the recent AFC championship game between the Denver Broncos and New England Patriots. CNET reported, "On the last defensive possession the Patriots' coaches did not have access to those tablets to show pictures to their players."Read more..
As a new year approaches, CompuScripts Court Reporters would like to walk down the memory lane that was 2015 by way of our social media. (more…)Read more..

What did a pro baseball player and a Duck Hunting Club have to do with Laguna getting its water?
Category : Laguna Beach Real Estate
Laguna Beach gets all its water from somewhere else. Scary when you think about it.
But how we got the water from other places during Laguna's start up years is quite a colorful story with colorful people.
One such character is Gavy Cravath, who was such a good baseball player that it took Babe Ruth to break his home run records.
But first a little background:
Until the early 1920s, the residents of Laguna Beach received their water from a well located north on Laguna Canyon Road when cisterns in town ran out of rainwater. Summer visitors frequently stopped and filled jugs on their way into town.
One amazing feat was in 1905 when Howard Heisler (of Heisler Park) pumped running water from Laguna Canyon to each lot in his development of houses in Laguna Cliffs, which is today's coveted North Laguna's Tree Streets. He subdivided and laid out the only streets in Laguna that run in straight right angles to one another.
In 1924, the growth of the village had been so rapid that the water system could not produce an adequate supply. The heavy pumping exhausted the surface supply and soon saltwater intrusion and well failure forced the closure of the water service.
But local citizens pretending to be a Duck Hunting Club came to the rescue.
So when the water became scares in 1925 the locals turned to one of the closest places to get fresh water, Huntington Beach home of the Santa Ana River Basin.
Knowing that Huntington Beach, 20 miles to the north, would want to keep its precious fresh water, a group of Laguna guys pretended to be a Duck Hunting Club and bought 120 acres (which is still owned).
The five men divvied up a $1,000 deposit out of their own pockets, with the balance to be paid at $400 an acre.
What they had bought was the City's future water supply.
The Board of Supervisors called for an election on May 4, 1925, and residents went to the polls and approved the formation of the Laguna Beach County Water District by a vote of 359 to 0.
Here comes Gavey, the retired baseball pro turned real estate investor (and later the town's Justice of the Peace) to make sure the huge $600,000 bond was passed.
About two days before election he sneaked down and turned on the Laguna Canyon pumps, filing the pipes with the brackish water. The people were trying to use it and were disgusted.
Then came voting day and they voted YES, 437 votes, for the $600,000 water bonds for Huntington Beach water.
The new water district built a new water system, constructed a 13-mile transmission pipeline, and provided service to Laguna Beach. The system was completed and water began to flow into the reservoirs in Spring 1927.
This was the only election in history with a unanimous 'yes' vote for that number of votes.
Thanks Gavey.
Securing our Water Supply
Introduction of water from wells in the Santa Ana River Basin solved Laguna's water problems for several years, but it wasn't smooth sailing. Other water producers in the Basin sued the District to prevent our groundwater production and export to Laguna Beach. In 1933, the Orange County Superior Court determined the right of the District to pump and export 2,025 acre-feet of groundwater from the Santa Ana River Basin each year.
Unfortunately, over time pumping from the basin increased, groundwater elevations fell, and sea water intruded into the basin. By 1941, Laguna's water supply had again become salty and unreliable.
This deterioration in the quality of the groundwater caused the District to assist in the formation of Coastal Municipal Water District and to purchase Colorado River water through Coastal MWD from Metropolitan Water District in 1943. The District's well field in the Santa Ana River Basin remained in operation until 1948.
More on Gavy Cravath – a true Laguna character
Clifford Carlton Cravath (March 23, 1881 – May 23, 1963), also nicknamed "Cactus Gravy", was an outfielder and right-handed batter who played for the Boston Red Sox (1908), Chicago White Sox (1909), Washington Senators (1909) and Philadelphia Phillies (1912-1920).
Cravath was the first baseball player from the San Diego area to play Major League Baseball. He was born in Escondido, California. He is regarded as one of the first great sluggers in the game.
In 1915, Cravath hit 24 home runs, setting a single season record that stood until Babe Ruth broke it by hitting 29 homers in 1919.
He changed baseball when he was caught in a run down between two players and as they were tossing the ball back and forth trying to catch Gavy he jumped up a caught the ball and through it into the stands. He sauntered on to home plate and the rule was changed to never let that happen again.
Gavy Cravath managed the Salt Lake City Bees of the Pacific Coast League in 1921, then spent one year as a scout for the Minneapolis Millers, his last job in professional baseball.
Returning to Laguna Beach, California, where for years he'd leisurely enjoyed his off-season's fishing the Pacific and accumulating property, he became active in the real-estate business.
In September 1927 Cravath was elected judge, and for the rest of his life enjoyed saying that he claimed the gavel quite by accident. He and two friends didn't like the sitting judge in Laguna Beach so they drew straws to determine which of the three would run against him.
Gavy drew the short straw and won the election by an almost 3:1 ratio. Lacking any formal legal training, he claimed that he based his decisions on principles of sportsmanship he'd learned on the diamond.
Judge Cravath became known as a crusty jurist and stories abound from his years on the bench. Once, when two young robbers appeared before him and asked permission to join the armed forces as part of a probation sentence, Cravath said, "When I see a man in uniform walking down the street, I look at him with pride. You haven't earned the right to wear such a uniform bearing the honor of our country. Six months in county jail."
On another occasion, Cravath asked a Santa Ana motorcycle cop if he was heading back to the station after a hearing. The officer replied in the affirmative. Next the town drunk staggered into the courtroom and Cravath said, "Pete, you hop on the back of George's bike and he'll take you up to the county jail for a few days to dry out." No stranger to due process, Pete objected, "You can't do that, Gavy. Hell, I ain't even been arraigned yet." Cravath glared at the drunk. "Now look here, Pete," he growled. "You know you were drunk and I know you were drunk. Now we're not going to waste any of the taxpayers' money on a goddam trial. Get on that goddam motorcycle and go to jail for a few days to dry out." Pete grinned sheepishly and obeyed the order.
Well-known and widely respected, Judge Cravath was reversed only twice during his 36-year tenure on the bench. When he finally died at age 82 on May 23, 1963, few Laguna Beach residents even realized that in a prior life, the Honorable Clifford C. Cravath had set major-league home-run records that it took the mighty Babe Ruth to break.
Cravath had a career .287 batting average with 119 home runs, then the fourth most in history, and 719 RBI in 1220 games. Mel Ott eventually tied his NL record of six home run titles; Ralph Kiner broke the record in 1952 with seven; and Mike Schmidt now holds the record of eight titles, set with the Phillies in 1986. Cravath's 20th-century record of 119 homers was broken by Babe Ruth in 1921..

I pictured a dancing Michael Jackson xD
Because the only thing that is worn on the wrist to show time is a wrist watch while pointing to the bum could mean many other things than just going to the bathroom ;)
Love you man - The Albert Einstein of GaG
woohoo thanks
You do have a point here, but it's pretty broad when you point to your crotch; it could mean a lot of things
Haha that's a good question :D
I guess the chance of running into a sarcastic joke about "your thing" would be significant... or people would just look and say nothing!
The wrist represents the location of the time. You wouldn't point to the source of needed to go to the bathroom but rather a direction asking if there is one where you are pointing
People don't always bathroom from their crotch... and pointing to your bum would make for a lot of sexual harassment cases...
That can be misconstrued and trigger someone.
the crotch has another use that could be misunderstood if ya know what im sayin
lmao true but people use their wrists for many other things too... more than what people use their crotch for...

Common Information
A significant amount of traffic flows from point S to point T in the one-way street network shown below. Points A, B, C, and D are junctions in the network, and the arrows mark the direction of traffic flow. The fuel cost in rupees for travelling along a street is indicated by the number adjacent to the arrow representing the street.
Motorists travelling from point S to point T would obviously take the route for which the total cost of travelling is the minimum. If two or more routes have the same least travel cost, then motorists are indifferent between them. Hence, the traffic gets evenly distributed among all the least cost routes.
The government can control the flow of traffic only by levying appropriate toll at each junction. For example, if a motorist takes the route S-A-T (using junction A alone), then the total cost of travel would be Rs. 14 (i.e. Rs. 9 + Rs. 5) plus the toll charged at junction A.
Common Information Question: 1/5
If the government wants to ensure that all motorists travelling from S to T pay the same amount (fuel costs and toll combined) regardless of the route they choose and the street from B to C is under repairs (and hence unusable), then a feasible set of toll charged (in rupees) at junctions A, B, C, and D respectively to achieve this goal is:
2, 5, 3, 2
0, 5, 3, 1
1, 3, 5, 2
2, 3, 5, 1
1, 3, 5, 1
Option(B) is correct
Let the toll charged at junctions A, B, C and D be a, b, c and d respectively.
Since the cost of travel including toll on routes S-A-T, S-D-T, S-B-A-T and S-D-C-T is the same,
14 + a = 13 + d = 9 + a + b = 10 + c + d
Thus, b = 5, d – a = 1, c = 3
If a = 0, d = 1, If a = 1, d = 2 and if a = 2, d = 3
Hence, options B is the correct choice.
Error(s) Found !!!

Manchester City are preparing a fresh pursuit of Leonardo Bonucci of Juventus, making him their top defensive target.
Pep Guardiola has long been enamored by Bonucci.
Bonucci signed a contract extension until 2021 with Juve in December, but he hinted last week that he could now be prepared to make a move to England after telling So Foot that the Premier League "fascinates" him.
City could face competition for the defender's signature from Chelsea.
Bonucci had a heated argument with Massimiliano Allegri in February but they've since claimed to settle the issue.

After a busy run on the Vans Warped Tour this past summer, OurStage's very own Ballyhoo! have released a brand new video for their song, "Walk Away." True to their well meshed reggae stylings, and blended with a little punk and pop for good measure, Ballyhoo!'s latest song is as catchy as it is lighthearted, turning the heavy subject of breakups into a lighthearted, party filled affair. Check out the video, which aired on Fuse, below.
If you like Ballyhoo! check out Ourstage artist Deadfish.

This past Friday, No Doubt released a music video for their newest single "Looking Hot" off their latest album Push And Shove, but it was immediately removed after being criticized for offending the Native American community.
According to Billboard, the video features Gwen Stefani in a "Halloween-ready Native American costume, while bassist Tony Kanal is [a] tribesman who helps the singer escape from her cowboy captors, played by Adrian Young and Tom Dumont." Due to a large negative response from YouTube users, the band decided to pull the video, releasing an apology on their website. Whether or not a remake is in store has yet to be determined.

Last month Ernie Ball sponsored our Punk Channel, offering a year's supply of strings and accessories to one Grand Prize Winner. You, the fans, judged to help us find the best punk song by an OurStage artist to take home this amazing prize. So without further adieu, it is our pleasure to congratulate the winning musician, Kingnaldo with his song "I'm Mad As Hell". Hailing from Dallas, Ga., this Puerto Rican solo artist has years of experience writing and performing within various genres including punk, metal, hard, and alternative rock. He recently recorded at Lavish Studios in Los Angeles, Calif. with producer/musician Doug Grean (Stone Temple Pilots, Velvet Revolver, Sheryl Crow). Now Kingnaldo can rock out harder than ever and not worry about breaking a string, because OurStage and Ernie Ball got him covered. Check out his winning song "I'm Mad As Hell" below.
The late ˜70s and early ˜80s were a boom time for bands blending New Wave's urgency and energy with the Jamaican rhythms of ska and reggae. The biggest-selling exponents of that musical merger were The Police and Men At Work, but a whole ska-rock subculture developed in England around a handful of bands working under the Two Tone banner. Two Tone was first and foremost a label, with a roster that at one time or another included The Beat, Bad Manners, The Bodysnatchers, Madness, The Selecter, and The Specials, among others, but it also evolved into a genre tag, partly due to the label's black-and-white logo and iconography, and partly because of the groups' commitment to actively opposing the racism that was prevalent in England at the time, through songs, benefits, and activism. The Beat (who became known in the U.S. as The English Beat due to another band's claim on the name) were Two Tone's poster boys, as much for their unity-boosting lyrics as for their integrated lineup, and they eventually had the biggest impact in America of any Two Tone act.

I don't have enough surfaces in my house. Okay, my house is really tiny so if I am being honest, I don't have enough of a lot of things. Not enough surfaces, not enough wall space, not enough storage… You know how they say that with properties it's all about "location, location, location"? Well, they're right, and our location is top notch. Most people would probably consider my house a cute little starter home, or maybe a quaint little retirement cottage. I guess you could say we do too, starter home, retirement cottage, and everything in between. :-)
The moral of this little ramble is to explain that when I have a problem, yo, I'll solve it. Oops, sorry, went a little Vanilla Ice for a second there. Seriously though, when you truly never want to leave your home, you tend to try harder to find solutions for the little details that bother you. For example, not enough surfaces for storage and decoration. I wanted more, so I made more.
Honestly, Patrick and I made it together, but only because he came home unexpectedly early that day. :-)
He has a tendency to take over my projects and turn them into something more or bigger than I intend. I had something pretty specific in mind for this though, so I didn't let him run with it the way he ordinarily would. It is for this reason that he is requiring me to put this disclaimer out there: This is not the proper way to build furniture and no respectable furniture maker would ever do it this way. Patrick is a very good and talented builder and would never have taken such shortcuts, but his wife made him… well, now that that's over with. J
We started with some 1x and ripped it into strips about 1.5"wide. We needed 8 at 32" long, to make the legs.
We also needed 1x at 2.5" wide. Two of them at 27" long and two at 8" long to create the top of the table frame.
With the help of the table saw, we carefully notched out a corner on 4 of the leg pieces,
Then attached them to the uncut pieces using wood glue and a nail gun.
Once all of the legs were ready, we used the Kreg Jig to drill holes and attach the top frame piece to the legs.
The we added extra structural support in each top corner.
We used the Kreg Jig for this part as well.
Using more 1x, we created shelf supports at 1.5" wide and 12" long. Then attached them to the correct portions of the legs.
The table would have looked pretty good if left like this, but I wanted decorative X's on the sides.
So we used more 1x , carefully measured angles,
and notched out the centers,
to create interlocking pieces,
which were then nailed into place.
At this point the building itself was nearly complete, so I explained that I was planning to paint the table structure white but that I wanted the top and shelves to be made from a rougher natural wood.
Then I left him on his own while I went to find the paint.
Of course, left unsupervised, he decided to run with it a bit,
I came back only to find the very old picnic table that we found in the woods when we moved in, had been sawn into pieces.
The picnic table was far from structurally sound anymore so I didn't think too much of it, understanding that the wood had aged beautifully and would finish off the table perfectly.
I continued on my way and painted the table base, then returned once it was dry enough.
Patrick quickly nailed on the pieces that he had ready and waiting, and that's when I saw what he had been up to.
See, like I said, we had found that picnic table when we first moved into the house. That was around 11 years ago. That first summer we would have bonfires and sit at the old picnic table for dinner pretty often. (We still do that now but stopped using the unsafe table a few years ago.) On one of those first nights we had carved our initials into the table, and he had carefully cut the table top so that our initials would be perfectly front and center.
It was such a sweet and unexpected gesture.
I am just thrilled with how this little table turned out.
We have a ton of books in our house so I am always looking for new places to put them.
This table is the perfect combination of form and function.
It looks great,
goes perfectly with the style of our home,
and serves as a little extra storage for some of the more decorative books in our collection.

Many travel tips and Elba offers on Elbareservation!
Elba is the largest island of the Tuscan Archipelago, a group of islands situated in the middle of Tyrrhenian Sea. Other islands of the Archipelago are Gorgona, Capraia, Pianosa, Montecristo, Giglio, and Giannutri. Elba's territory is a very complete mix of natural beauties. First of all, it consists of varied coasts, golden beaches and spectacular sea cliffs. On the other side, the inner part of the island is covered by a rich nature and hosts a mountain area. The highest top is Mount Capanne, 1018 metres above sea level, that is also the highest peak of the Tuscan Archipelago National Park.
The island has ancient origins. At the beginning it was inhabited by Ilvati, then was discovered by Greeks and invaded Etruscans, Carthaginians and Romans. The island is also historically famous because French Emperor Napoleon was exiled there in 1814. Today the Island of Elba is one of the major international tourist destinations, a perfect place for any type of vacation: family, couples, singles.
Elba offers the chance to enjoy many kinds of sport activities and entertainment, such as: snorkeling, scuba diving in the crystal waters, trips round the Island of Elba in sea Kayak and hiking along the beautiful trails of the National Park of Tuscan Archipelago. Going on vacation on Elba Island means to enjoy a crystal sea and uncontaminated nature. It also means to be fascinated by beautiful view, scents and flavors of a magical place, where any visitor can relax and enjoy an unforgettable experience.
There are several localities to visit on Elba island: Portoferraio, Palombaia, Portoazzurro, Rio Marina, Cavo and Marina di Campo, famous for its 2 kilometres long white beach. Each little town is a very pleasant place where tourists can enjoy typical Italian restaurants and wonderful natural landscapes. It is also recommended to visit cultural points of interest like the Linguella Museum of Archaeology, the Museum of Mercy, the Foresiana Municipal Gallery and the International Art Center. One more chance during the holidays on Elba is to go visiting some of the closer islands, for example Giglio Island and Capraia: there are many Elba offers to take a boat for a one day trip. The tourist facilities of Elba include hotels, residences, villas, apartments and other kinds of accommodations, to satisfy tourists' different needs.
Elbareservation is an online booking portal, which promotes tourism on Elba Island. On Elbareservation is possible to book best Elba offers and choose among the different accommodations: hotels, residences, villas and apartments, resort and holiday homes.

Sundays in Lent 9:15am – 10:00am
Confirmation is the rite in which we express a mature commitment to Christ, and receive strength from the Holy Spirit through prayer and the laying on of hands by a bishop (Book of Common Prayer, p. 860).
By exploring Scripture, Church History, the Prayer Book, and other parts of our faith life, we learn about the ways God is calling us to take on our Baptismal vows as mature members of the Church.
Confirmation is the sacramental rite in which the candidates "express a mature commitment to Christ, and receive strength from the Holy Spirit through prayer and the laying on of hands by a bishop" (p. 860). Those who were baptized at an early age and those baptized as adults without laying on of hands by a bishop are invited to make a mature public affirmation of their faith, recommit themselves to the responsibilities of their baptism, and receive laying on of hands by a bishop (p. 412).
The Prayer Book rite for Confirmation includes forms for Reception and the Reaffirmation of Baptismal Vows. In some dioceses, those who have already made a mature Christian commitment in another denomination are recognized as members of the one holy catholic and apostolic church, and received into the fellowship of the Episcopal Church and the Anglican Communion.
Those who have returned from a time of religious inactivity to an active practice of faith may publicly reaffirm their baptismal vows. Others who have experienced a renewal of faith or desire to renew their Christian commitment may also reaffirm their baptismal vows. Reaffirmation may be repeated, depending on the pastoral needs of the person. Preparation for Confirmation/Reception/Reaffirmation should help the candidates discover the meaning of Christian commitment in their lives, and explore ways that their Christian commitment can be lived. This preparation may draw upon the baptismal covenant (pp. 416-417) and An Outline of the Faith pp. 845-862).
Join us during the Sundays of Lent from 9:15am – 10am as we explore these deep questions of faith
Pax et bonum

41. The Buddha preaching to Khema, queen of King Bimbisara
The daughter of King Maddaraja of Sagala State, by the name of Khema, was one of the queens of King Bimbisara. She was very pretty and being proud of her own beauty, had no wish to go to the Buddha, who was in the habit of preaching that "beauty is but skin deep". But she heard that Veluvana Park had been greatly improved and was looking so picturesque and pleasant that even gods were attracted by it. She therefore had a strong wish to visit it and went to the park where the Buddha was then in residence. King Bimbisara had told the attendants to see that the Queen should not come back without paying her respects to the Buddha. She dared not disobey the King and approached the Buddha before she left the Park. The Blessed One, with his superhuman power created a scene in which a woman, more handsome than the queen, was fanning him. The woman then becoming older and older, fell down through infirmity and began to moan. The queen was very much startled by the sight. The Buddha then preached a sermon to her, and she became an Arahant and was admitted into the Holy Order of Nuns.

I'm wondering because I am a crossdresser but I'm straight and I've only told one person about this. I'm just trying to figure out on average how many girls would be ok with having a boyfriend that crossdresser and if you wouldn't date a crossdresser would you be friends with one and give him fashion advice?
Girls, would you date a crossdresser?
Have an opinion?
What Girls Said 3
It honestly would not bother me. I am very accepting of people, and someone being a crossdresser is fairly mild. If it made him happy, then that is fantastic. As for helping him with fashion advice, sure - but I'm not the most feminine person, nor do I wear makeup, so that would have to be kept in mind.10|10|0
I wouldn't date one, but I'd be friends with one. I'd give them fashion advice if I knew about fashion lol10|10|0
Hell no.00|00|0
What's so bad about being a crossdresser?
It's nothing bad about it. I don't judge because no ones perfect and if it makes you happy then never stop doing it. I just wouldn't want my man doing it. It's too... feminine and sissy like so I wouldn't date a cross dresser. However I wouldn't make a man feel like shit for doing what he likes
