Well Nikhil tagged me on this one ages ago but as I was battling with my own inner thoughts this got delayed and today I thought about finishing this one to be cheerful enough for the evening- we have my firm's 90 years of celebration Mid Winter Ball at the Sky City Grand Hotel! The dress code is elegant wear with twist of 1920s and I am donning myself in a designer hatler neck Rosewood Gown and chandalier earrings-quite perplexed!
The idea is simple. Take any day in your life and chart out all the brands you have used. I am a brand conscious person and I am not!- Confused-you bet…I believe in buying branded things which are vital like-my eyewear or jeans or shoes but for small things like tops and jewellery I am not so much conscious as I can buy stuff straight outof flea market….
Here it goes..
Glister Toothpaaste, Body Shop, Palmolive Naturals, Bausch and Lomb- I can't see anything without them…, Carlton London, Titan, Gilli, Elizabeth Arden, Chambor, Wrangler, Narcisso Rodriguez and Lancome…yes am a cosmetic and fragrances freak and Naricsso is my favorite smell to wear! Its divine! 🙂
Xs Energy Drink-yes with the amount of work piling up these days…..I need it, Subway and Starbucks for lunch, Dell and iPOD- if I don't plug in my music I'll sleep on the keyboard for sure…..3M and Office Max supplies keep me organized with frequent calls on my Nokia phone from my hubby…
EVENING SESSION- Reunion of love strucks
Evenings are electornically dominated- with both of us checking emails, making long calls to India, me cooking, watching movies on our 50 inch plasma which I am quite proud of ! 😀 Blogging is a must……and then catching up with crazy pals on gtalk/Facebook and Orkut by throwing interesting status messages everyday!!!! Syncing my iPOD in the background~~~hubby coaxing me to eat nutriway pills and then hiting the sack!! Prepare for another day, another gruelling session with techical documents, ramblings of mind with vocabulary and vainly rejecting drawings in name of Quality Control!
Signing Off ~**~
Ok folks am off to plaster my face with some good face masks I got and also apply a wicked deep berry nailpaint -its pampering day-wish me luck- I wanna dazzle tonight at the ball……..watch out this space for my experience there…..and yes we are planning a skiing trip next week and then South Island trip in August so please pray that no one jinxes a much needed holiday I need for my depressed sagging spirits…………
And before I forget- I pass this tag to Abhinav which is gonna be his first tag post ever -I am giving the nasty soul some work to do apart from sending me annoying mails round the day and labelling me Neera ki choti behen- I am not 😦 You're BP!

Star Student: Laura Graham
This Bay Area teen has a closet unlike any other.
Laura Graham

Since her freshman year at Bishop O'Dowd, Laura Graham has collected nearly 25,000 garments for over 8,000 teens in need through her organization, 1Closet.
1Closet collects clothes through high school drives and distributes the garments to teenagers in need via Alameda and Contra Costa counties non-profits. Laura's philanthropy has earned her numerous awards and most recently, an article in the latest issue of Cosmopolitan Magazine.
As a newly graduated senior, Laura's getting ready to move on to even bigger things—college! But where does that leave 1Closet?
The future University of Arizona Wildcat is leaving 1Closet in good hands, having found a pair of Alamo sisters who are going to take on the busy organization. Laura interviewed several students before choosing Riley and Carly Glasson.
"I believed it would be best to pass 1Closet on to a family or group who had the ability to continue my charity for more than a year," Laura says. "Riley has been shadowing me, and her sister will shadow her, so the transition will be seamless."
No strangers to philanthropy, Riley and Carly were happy to take over 1Closet. A junior at San Ramon Valley High School, Riley says she and her sister Carly, a seventh grader at Charlotte Wood Middle School, have been involved in the National Charity League (NCL) for some time.
"We're really involved in charity, so we thought [managing 1Closet] would be something that worked really well for us," Riley says. "And even though I only have one more year of high school, I've got [Carly] and another little sister that can continue [the organization]."
The Glassons don't plan on making major changes to the foundation of 1Closet, however, they hope to expand the charity, gather a larger inventory of clothing, and find a permanent drop off location for donated items. Despite Laura's departure, Carly says that she and Riley plan on staying in touch.
Says Laura, "While I won't have a direct hand in 1Closet, I hope to be a helpful resource for Riley and Carly. I plan on following what happens and changes with 1Closet as it enters a new chapter.

Turning into your Mother........
do you ever just get smacked with the idea that you've turned into your Mother? I mean, it hit me that my blog is the most boring place around. But, by the time I share with friends by email, post on my favorite message crafting boards and visit in Yahoo groups it's just a little stale by the time I'm telling the story for the umpteemth time. See, turning into your Mother by telling the same story over and over (and worse, forgetting that you've already shared that particular event).

Republican Farrow to be sworn in next week
Pewaukee resident in early to fill vacancy
MADISON, Wis. — Republican state Rep. Paul Farrow of Pewaukee is scheduled to be sworn in as a state senator on Dec. 14 after winning an uncontested special election for an open seat.
Farrow won the election on Tuesday to replace Rich Zipperer, who resigned in August to become Gov. Scott Walker's deputy chief of staff.
Farrow is able to take his seat in the Senate earlier than others elected in the regular November election because he was chosen in a special election to fill a vacancy.
With Farrow's win, Republicans will hold an 18-15 majority in the Senate starting in January.
Farrow was first elected to the state Assembly in 2010.

My husband and I are from Tulsa, OK and just adopted Ares, a 2 year old, Boston Terrier-Pit mix.
As a puppy he was starved and kept in a wire cage much too small. His feet are a mass of scars and his spine and hips have deformations. He can stand only a moment on his hind legs, he can't hike to pee, or squat for that matter. The best he can manage is a sort of a half-squat. He can't jump up on anything other than our low couch, sometimes he needs assistance there too. He can't really sit either, he stands, leans or lays down. He runs and walks near normal, but tires easily.
Otherwise, he is a smart, very smart, happy dog. All praise to his foster family for his outstanding manners and demeanor. He loves kids and other dogs and in the past 2 weeks he has been with us, he's made many new friends. The only one he hasn't been able to win over is our cat and that's not his fault. It took her a long while to accept our other dog and at this point it's going as well as could be expected.
Before I met my husband, in the mid-eighties I had another pit, I have always been a fan of the breed. My parents bred Boston Terriers and up until a couple months ago, there has always been (at least) one in our house, so we are familiar with the bully-breeds attitude and general personality. Ares seems to have gotten the best from both breeds.
I found the forum today, looking for answers to the cause of his recent hives. I suspect the sun and have contacted his foster mother to find out if there was any previous history. We have his medical records and it was not mentioned. While I knew this could happen with Pits, it never happened with my first one and I want to learn the best way to deal with it.
I am looking forward to learning from others here on many subjects and socializing with other Pit lovers. I will post some pics as soon as I figure out how you do it here. Thanks for having me!

President Obama's newest executive order, announced earlier today at the Our Ocean conference in Washington, DC, will go a long way towards protecting our oceans.
Primary areas of focus are increasing marine-protected areas, fighting illegal fishing practices worldwide and supporting sustainably-caught seafood.
We applaud these efforts and encourage everyone to support the work of international, national, local governments and conservation organizations in our efforts to create a healthy ocean – for all of us.

One of the offseason priorities of the Raiders should be to nab a veteran quarterback.
It needs to be someone good enough to usher the franchise into respectability but who has such limited options that the Raiders look promising. Someone who brings winning experience to the table while still having enough juice to run with youngsters. Someone who knows how to wade through rough waters — because they"re sure to come — and talented enough to produce in less-than-ideal circumstances.
Two words: Michael. Vick.
Whomever the Raiders line up as starting quarterback will have flaws. That"s just where they are as a franchise at this point. A big-time quarterback at the peak of his game is not coming to Oakland right now. There will be rough times whether it"s either of the two who started last season, one of the rookie passers in the draft, or one of the few free-agent quarterbacks.
Of them all, Vick gives them the best chance to make a push for 8-8, 9-7, and at least be in the playoff conversation late in the season.
No, Vick won"t guarantee that. But he"s the best bet for it. In fact, this is right in his wheelhouse. The knock on his career is an inability to get good teams over the hump. Making bad teams competitive, guiding franchises from the cellar to the playoffs, Vick is proven in that area. He did it in Atlanta and in Philadelphia. And that"s all the Raiders realistically need right now.
Even though he"ll be 34 when the season begins, Vick is still a solid option. He perhaps will never be what he was, but the smart move would be to milk him for what he has left during this transitional phase. He still has the legs to force defenses to pay attention, and he has a cannon for an arm they must respect. As Russell Wilson and Colin Kaepernick showed in the postseason, that"s a valuable commodity.
Vick"s big problem has been turnovers (33 total in his last 30 games), mostly born of his suspect accuracy. Still, he brings much more than what the Raiders have — and the rest is Dennis Allen earning his money.
With that said, Vick wasn"t bad last year. He came out of the gates on fire in Eagles coach Chip Kelly"s new offense before laying eggs against Kansas City and at Denver, eventual playoff teams. Then injuries opened the door for Nick Foles, who took Kelly"s system and ran with it.
Vick wasn"t awful. In six starts, he posted a passer rating of 86.5. The Raiders: 73.9, 28th in the NFL.
Oakland"s offense could use a boost behind center to complement a productive run game. Vick brings explosiveness and credibility to the offense. Putting him in an offense that highlights his accuracy more than his duality would be a mistake. But this Raiders staff has experience with inaccurate quarterbacks, so adjusting to Vick shouldn"t be a problem.
Some intangibles need to be considered, too. Vick has served time in federal prison. He has risen from national enemy to redeemed athlete. He has endured bankruptcy and multiple injuries, bouncing back from both. Foles took his spot, and Vick became a supportive backup.
Think he can"t handle the Raiders drama?
Remember, the pressure is on from owner Mark Davis, the coach and general manager having been spared from the chopping block. This could be an all-out soap opera. It matters to have a quarterback who can stand up and take the blows, who can bounce back after getting knocked down.
No doubt, whatever deal Vick signs should be loaded with performance incentives, because he is injury prone. And it won"t be enough to just throw him back there. Weapons to surround him and offensive line upgrades are in order, but that"s true for whoever is under center.
The Raiders still can draft a quarterback. They still can give Matt McGloin and Terrelle Pryor a chance to compete for the job. But signing Vick raises the bar. Where the Raiders are right now, they need someone who can do that.

Veteran QB can handle adversity and would give the Raiders a chance to contend.

There are a few things I miss about Iowa...Cheese Rites from Maid Rite, Potato Oles from Taco Johns, Queso Dip from Carlos O'Kellys and yes Breakfast at Hardees. I realize all of these will cause heart attacks - why do you think I moved?
Alas, I was recently hungry in Kentucky and ran across a Hardees and had to stop! Unfortunately we weren't there at breakfast time so I settled for lunch...
They had quite a different menu than before - these are my cheesy bacon fries and they were pretty damned good. Not much different than I'd get at many "bar food" type restaurants.
They have these new Grilled Cheese Bacon Thickburgers - and I had to get one. I admire Hardees for always trying new things and having more than just a plain old burger. Their hot ham & cheese has always been a favorite. This thing was big and cheesy and for fast food - damn yummy.
They also have these new Berry Berry shakes and that was again DELICIOUS. Really it was my favorite part - Larry ordered it but then I stole it. He didn't even get a drink. That's how I roll.
I also must give some Kudos to this location - it was immaculate and had an incredibly friendly staff.
Why Should You Go? Well first - you gotta find one. Then - go cuz it's different than Wendys and far better than McDonalds (don't get me wrong - I eat that too). Their biscuits for breakfast though are really great - Loaded Omelet - awesome. Just go for a jog afterwards...

For a fresh take on festive foods, we asked Iron Chef Cat Cora, Mom-a-licious chef Domenica Catelli, and our own nutrition expert Carolyn O'Neil, MS, RD, for the family holiday recipes they return to most often. The result? Dishes that transform familiar tastes from "same old" to "something special." From Cora's Caribbean-themed curried lentils with butternut squash to O'Neil's can't-skip-this salad and Catelli's guiltless mashed potatoes, each recipe rethink provides inspiration on how a little redo leads to redux: newfangled favorites you'll want to prepare again and again. Plus, stress-busting tips for home cooks to take the worry out of holiday prep.
Cat Cora: Changing Things Up
"I love changing things up for the holidays," says Cora, which is no surprise, coming from America's first female Iron Chef, anointed by the Food Network's reality cooking show. "For the celebration table, you want things to be comforting, but not boring. So I always keep a few old-standby dishes on the table but pick at least a few others that I mix it up with, making them a little more exotic, more unique -- still ensuring that the recipes are very approachable and easy to do." The key here? "Stay in the same flavor family when you substitute something different for something traditional." For example, do coconut-sprinkled curried squash and lentils rather than marshmallowed sweet potatoes, or pomegranate-glazed Cornish game hens instead of one big turkey.
Cora's Holiday Tip
Don't change your entire holiday menu over to exotica. Keep a few familiar dishes on the table that family members might mutiny without. Pin down your shopping list at least a week ahead, practicing any dishes you're unsure of ahead of time and pre-prepping a day or two in advance whatever will hold. And delegate some of the dishes to trusted family members (the old standbys, for example).
Pomegranate-Glazed Cornish Game Hens With Wild Rice and Chestnut Stuffing
4 Cornish game hens
1 cup uncooked wild rice
²/³ cup coarsely chopped chestnuts (either fresh or from a jar or can)
½ cup finely chopped yellow onion
2 tsp finely chopped fresh thyme
1 tsp finely chopped fresh sage
3 tbsp chopped Italian flat-leaf parsley
freshly ground black pepper
1 cup pomegranate juice
1 cup all-purpose flour, divided
3 cups low-sodium chicken stock
1. Rinse the rice in cool water, drain the water, and add the rice to a 2-quart saucepan with lid. Add 3 cups cold water and dash of salt. Bring the rice to a boil and stir once. Immediately reduce the heat to low, and cover the pot. Cook over low heat for 45 to 55 minutes, or until all of the liquid has evaporated.
2. Preheat the oven to 325ºF.
3. While the rice is cooking, remove the chestnuts from the jar or can, chop them roughly, and spread them on a baking sheet. Toast them in the oven for about 10 minutes to remove some of their moisture. When the chestnuts are done roasting, turn up the oven to 375º. In a large bowl, mix the cooked wild rice, toasted chestnuts, chopped onion, and herbs.
4. Pat the game hens dry with a paper towel. (If they have been frozen, be sure they are completely thawed, with gizzards removed.) Loosely fill each cavity with stuffing, leaving a little space in each bird to allow the rice to expand during roasting. Secure the legs, wings, and opening of each hen by trussing with cotton string. Spoon leftover stuffing into a small casserole dish with lid. During the last 25 minutes of roasting the hens, slide the casserole into the oven to heat.
5. Place hens breast-side down on a rack set in a roasting pan. Place pan on the center rack of a preheated oven, and allow the hens to cook for 15 minutes before basting with the pomegranate juice (or with pomegranate-balsamic reduction option at the end of this recipe).
6. Baste again 15 minutes later, turning birds breast side up after 40 minutes of roasting. Continue basting with the remaining pomegranate juice until the hens are dark golden brown and the juices run clear when the hens are pierced at the thigh. Total cooking time will be about 50 to 55 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, not touching the bone, should register 175º to 180º.
7. Remove the birds from the oven, and transfer them to a platter. Cover them with foil and let them rest for 10 to 15 minutes.
8. Place the roasting pan with the juices on the stovetop over medium-low heat, add about ½ cup of the chicken stock (or water), and scrape up any roasted bits from the bottom of the pan. Sift the flour into the cooking juices and mix well. Slowly whisk in another 1½ cups of stock (or water) and stir well, and let simmer until the mixture is thick and has no lumps, about 5 to 6 minutes. Add a few more teaspoons of water or white wine if you'd like the gravy to be thinner. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
9. To serve, cut each bird in half lengthwise. Pool a little gravy on each plate, place a half bird on top of each gravy-pooled plate, and garnish with finely chopped parsley. Serve with a little extra rice stuffing on the side, if desired.

For a more flavorful glaze, you can use a reduction of pomegranate-balsamic rather than straight pomegranate juice.
1. Combine equal parts pomegranate juice and balsamic vinegar (use a good balsamic but not your most expensive bottle).
2. Heat over medium-low heat for 15 to 20 minutes or until the reduction is syrupy but not as thick as molasses.

Curried Lentils With Butternut Squash
1 cup dry lentils (preferably French or green)
1 small butternut squash (about
1½ lbs), peeled and cut
into chunks (equals 1½ cups)
olive oil spray
1 tbsp curry powder
1 tsp grated fresh ginger
1 tsp chili powder
dash of kosher salt and freshly
ground black pepper
¼ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1. Spray olive oil in an 8x11-inch baking dish and set aside. Pour the lentils into a deep pot and cover with cold water. Heat water to boiling; reduce heat to simmer, and add the raw chunks of squash. Simmer until the squash is soft, lentils are tender, and liquid has reduced by two-thirds, about 25 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat. Spoon contents into a colander to drain. With tongs, pull out the chunks of squash and mash them roughly with a fork, ricer, or potato masher.
2. Preheat the oven to 375ºF.
3. In a large bowl, mix the drained cooked lentils and mashed squash with all of the spices. Spoon the mixture into the baking dish. (At this point, you can cover the dish and refrigerate it for a few hours or overnight.) Bake until piping hot (about 20 minutes if you're putting it into the oven right after mixing; 25 to 30 minutes if it's been refrigerated). Serve warm, topped with shredded coconut.

Carolyn O'Neil, MS, RD: Lightening Up
Dietitian, writer, and food expert Carolyn O'Neil's first holiday makeover mission was to lighten up the standard green bean casserole by using fresh green beans, fresh sautéed mushrooms, and caramelized onions instead of the typical canned veggie/soup/fried onion trio. The result was such a hit at her house that O'Neil's makeovers are now much anticipated. Her latest best twist on tradition? "The addition of fresh salads to the holiday table," says O'Neil. Built with seasonal produce and flavors that complement the winter holiday theme, her salads haven't replaced the obligatory Jell-O salad mold, but the family has created a welcome space for them on the table.
Carolyn's Holiday Tip
"Since I'm a dietitian, friends and family expect me to prepare 'healthy dishes' for holiday meals," says O'Neil. "But the last thing I want to do is start a family feud by banning calorie-laden traditional favorites." Instead, she recommends making lighter dishes an exciting addition to the usual holiday menu. You'll be introducing some healthier fare and keeping the peace.
Fennel, Orange, and Pomegranate Salad
O'Neil discovered this recipe at a "girlfriends getaway" weekend in Rosemary Beach, Fla. "The pretty green, bright orange, and deep red created a picture-perfect platter on the brunch buffet. What a beautiful way to enjoy the fiber in the fennel, the vitamin C in the oranges, and antioxidants in the pomegranate," she says.
4 navel oranges
1 head (bulb) fennel
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
¼ cup pomegranate seeds
(or dried cranberries)
1 tsp kosher or sea salt
freshly cracked black pepper
¼ cup slivered almonds, toasted
and cooled
1. Segment the oranges, reserving ½ cup orange juice. Clean the fennel, trim, and remove any browned or bruised areas. Cut the fronds off and reserve. Shave the fennel crosswise, using the finest slicing blade on the food processor or a mandolin.
2. In a large bowl, toss the shaved fennel with the orange segments, olive oil, and salt. Mince 2 tablespoons of the green fennel fronds and toss into the salad. Add the pomegranate seeds and orange juice and gently toss to combine.
3. Cover and chill for at least 30 minutes before serving so the flavors can combine. Season to taste with salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Garnish with toasted almonds and some of the fennel fronds.

Domenica Catelli: Switching Out Ingredients
Chef and cookbook author Domenica Catelli -- of Mom-a-licious -- is a believer in holiday recipes that are big in flavor, ease, and health. Her garlicky, no-guilt mashed potatoes won out in something of a family feud. "My mother-in-law let me know early on that I didn't know how to make mashed potatoes," says Catelli. "She knew how her son liked them and, chef or not, I wasn't going to match up. I, of course, wanted to prove her wrong and came up with this no-cream, no-butter, healthy-but-flavorful recipe." The verdict? "Once I made them, she conceded that I earned 'best' potatoes that Thanksgiving!" Catelli says.
Holiday Tip
Aim for holiday menu recipes that will taste great and look beautiful but that won't keep you in the kitchen too long. Assign some of the last-minute food prep to family and friends so you can gather together and talk while preparing the meal. "Whether it's putting my nephews on picking thyme or having Uncle Matt grate Parmesan for the guiltless mashed potatoes, there are small things you can delegate that will take some pressure off you and create great memories in the kitchen," she says.
No-Guilt Mashed Potatoes
Mashed potatoes evoke thoughts of coziness, warmth, and comfort -- but also indulgence and guilt! In this recipe, you enjoy all the benefits minus the guilt. The dish is surprisingly creamy without milk or butter in the mix.
6 large Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled
and cut into large chunks
1 box (32 oz) chicken broth
(low-fat, low-salt)
3 to 5 cloves garlic, peeled
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
pinch of salt and pepper
1. Place the potatoes in a pot with broth, a dash of salt, and garlic cloves. Add water to cover 2 inches above the potatoes. Bring potatoes to a boil and cook until soft but not falling apart, about 15 to 20 minutes.
2. Drain most of the liquid into a large measuring cup. Smash potatoes with a hand masher, whisk, or electric mixer.
3. Add Parmesan cheese and enough reserved broth until you reach desired consistency.
4. Finish with a sparing salt sprinkle and freshly cracked black pepper.

Thousands wait in vain for organ transplants; soldiers return from battle horribly maimed. There is only so much medicine can do, but we may be on the path to a new technology in which quite literally, we will be growing new body parts.
It's called "regenerative medicine," where cells in the human body are manipulated into regrowing tissue.
As we first reported last December, researchers have so far created beating hearts, ears and bladders. Biotech companies and the Pentagon have invested hundreds of millions of dollars in research that could profoundly change millions of lives.
Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine

Web Extra: Kaitlyne's Story
Dr. Anthony Atala runs the Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine in North Carolina. You name the body part, chances are Dr. Atala is trying to grow one.
"Currently at the institute we're working on over 22 different tissues and organs," Dr. Atala told 60 Minutes correspondent Morley Safer.
According to Atala, they are working on regenerating bladders, kidneys, lungs and more. "The possibilities really are endless," he said.
"Are you suggesting a remarkable future when organs fail, we simply replace them and live to 120? 150?" Safer asked.
"Well, the hope for the future is that if you do have a patient who has organ failure, you don't want that patient to die because you're waiting for an organ," Atala said. "People are dying every day on the transplant wait list. So the hope of the field is that some day we can provide replacement tissues and organs that can be used to help them survive."
Atala presides over the world's largest lab devoted to bioengineering body parts. He has made everything from components of fingers to kidneys - it's enough to make Dr. Frankenstein jealous.
Atala says every organ in our body contains special stem cells that are unique to each body part. The key to regeneration, he says, is to isolate and then multiply those cells until there are enough to cover a mold of that particular body part.
Atala showed Safer a bladder that was growing in the lab. "And you can see here that we actually create the three dimensional mold first. This is actually coated with cells and it's done one layer at a time. It's very much like baking a layer cake."
It's sort of surgery as pastry making.
"But, how do those cells know - it's a really stupid question, I understand - but how do the bladder cells know they should be functioning as bladder cells?" Safer asked.
"The cells know exactly what to do. Every single cell in your body has all the genetic information to create a whole new you. So if you place that cell in the right environment, it'll be programmed to do what it's supposed to do," Atala explained.
He says some body parts are simpler to make than others.
"And you can see here the mold shaped like an ear. And then what we do is we start seeding these with cells. And then this is actually the fully engineered ear," he said. "The molds are designed to degrade over time. So as the tissue forms the mold goes away."
"If that was for a child, would that grow with the child?" Safer asked, looking at the mold.
"Yes," Atala said. "The body does recognize them as their own and it does grow with the child."
Depending on the body part, Atala says the whole process can take six to eight weeks.
Atala showed Safer a beating, engineered heart valve. He says that human testing of heart valves and blood vessels will begin within five years. He has already grown and transplanted livers in mice.
Asked if the mouse livers are functioning, Atala said, "Yeah. And the tissue actually starts making what you're supposed to see. Like for the liver, we actually are able to see the functionality that you would expect from the liver."
And there's Kaitlyne McNamara, a college student who was born with Spina bifida which caused her bladder to fail. Nine years ago, Kaitlyne, along with eight other patients, received new bladders grown from their own cells outside the body.
She says the procedure changed her life. "I never even knew I could get this far. I'm just living a normal adult life."

I love the dreamy quality that your photos always have. And the settings are so simple yet look so amazing.
I thrift regularly but never see the things that you find. Or maybe I look right past them and don't appreciate them until you bring them to life.
You do an amazing job!

First, how are you going to wake up in zombie world and not start asking about a million questions? I mean, you're not even curious a LITTLE how it all started? I get that the dude is not talkative but come on bro, get some backstory.
Does it seem that the show is a little out of order? At the beginning, the sheriff goes to a ripped up camp site and shoots the zombie girl. Later in the show we see the same camp site with his wife and kid there. It just seemed like a random flash forward since he never got to the camp site or I don't remember them leaving the site.
What I also don't under is how does a guy in coma survive in a hospital for two weeks by himself while zombies are running rampid thru the buiding but no one ever goes in his room? Every room is trashed expect his? The hospital staff never moved him?
So what's up with the Asian kid? Will we see him again?
The others in the store are new for the TV show and don't appear in the books.

BCS reaction: Top two teams correct as weeding-out gets under way
See, that wasn't so difficult now, was it? The first BCS poll is out, and the two best teams in college football are Nos.1 and 2.
At least, for now.
PHOTO GALLERIES: Upsets | Top QB performances | Week 8's best | SN's midseason awards
Deep breath, Oregon. Relax, Baylor. Off the ledge, Ohio State.
The safest, surest way to get to the final BCS National Championship Game—the College Football Playoff takes over in 2014—is winning every game. While there could be multiple unbeaten teams from the SEC, ACC, Big 12 and Pac-12, BCS history has shown us it all evens out. Most years.
POLLS: AP Top 25 | Coaches' Top 25
"We can't be concerned with polls or anything other than what's in front of us," said Florida State safety Lamarcus Joyner.
And that's been the biggest problem for so many complaining after all of these years. Just win your games and see how it all plays out in the end.
The breakdown:
No. 4 Ohio State: With each passing week, it's becoming more apparent that the Buckeyes will need significant help to reach the national championship game. The team that has won 19 straight games will need only two unbeaten teams at the end of the season among BCS conferences to reach the championship game.
Doesn't matter which teams lose, there just have to be only two unbeaten teams at the end of the season—one being Ohio State. And don't even think that an unbeaten Ohio State will fall behind a one-loss Alabama or one-loss Oregon.
No. 6 Stanford: Look, I picked Stanford to play in the national title game at the beginning of the season. But there's no way this team should be in the top six with a loss to unranked Utah. You simply can't just ignore that; it wasn't an aberration. Stanford had to rally in the fourth quarter to simply have a chance on the last series of the game.
No. 7 Miami: Just watch the 'Canes. This team isn't among the top 15 in the country. Al Golden has changed the mindset of the program, but it's not at an elite level yet. This will shake out in two weeks when Miami travels to Florida State.
No. 8 Baylor: So the K-State game is an issue for you? Remember this: Baylor beat K-State last season to end the Wildcats' BCS run. The game was in Manhattan, a pit of a place. Have patience, people. We'll know more about Baylor as the Big 12 schedule unfolds.
No. 17 Fresno State: The Baylor of the non-BCS teams. Because the Bulldogs haven't been around for years, they can't be legit. But know this: If Fresno State wins out, it will be in a BCS bowl.
HAYES: Seminoles stake claim to No. 1 by dismantling Clemson
Matt Hayes' top 10
1. Alabama
2. Florida State
3. Oregon
4. Baylor
5. Missouri
6. Ohio State
7. Stanford
9. Auburn
10. Clemson

Strongpages brauchte ein neues WordPress-Theme Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 52 Designs von 7 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
Marble Falls Real Estate
Marble Falls, Texas, is a small but rapidly growing community in central Texas. About 40 minutes from Austin, we have a lot of new people moving to the area for the lakes, hills, and scenery.
MarbleFallsRealEstate.com is a real estate practice in the area focused on helping residents of other cities find second homes or investment properties. We also have a property management company that is responsible for handling all of the administrative work of managing rental properties, home owners' associations, and apartment complexes on behalf of our clients, who are the owners of those properties.
The target audience for this site is someone who is considering moving to Marble Falls or someone who has recently moved to Marble Falls.
The site design should be modern, but not flashy. It should attract a user who is a novice to moderate user of the Internet and web, but it should not target web experts.
Our vision for this website is twofold. Primarily, we desire it to focus on promoting properties for sale and for rent, outside of the typical real estate sites that simply wrap an MLS listing inside an IFRAME. We want the site to personalize these properties and listings, and we want the website to generate inbound phone calls (leads) for us to work with on selling and renting these properties. We want pages for "homes for sale", "land for sale", "homes for rent", etc.
Secondly, we want the website to serve as a community hub for all sorts of businesses, activities, organizations, and clubs that you might find in a community. An example of this part of the website would be kingwood.com. While it is not a real estate practice, it is a good example of the "community hub" I'm describing. This part of the website will have pages for "plumbers", "doctors", "electricians", "restaurants", and other high level yellow-pages type categories.
The design must include the following:
1. A home page that prominently features one or more homes for sale or for rent in the body of the page
2. A global navigation that includes a search box, plus links to "Real Estate", "Business Directory", "Jobs", "News", and "Classifieds". These links should be text, not images.
3. A search results page
4. A "blog post" that shows one featured home for sale or rent.
5. A logo. The logo we would like for you to use is http://99designs.com/logo-design/co…ntries/593 Use either the white or black background in your design. (We recently concluded this contest and do not have the graphic design files yet.) Unlike other contests you may have designed for, we do not want the logo to be huge; however, we do want it to be readable.
6. We want little to no stock photography.
7. We do not want a website that looks like a stuffy insurance or law website. We want the look & feel to be business casual.
8. The design should be clean, not busy at all. Minimalistic is ok
9. The design should not include any flash elements.
For reference, we love designs such as http://bit.ly/6N1X7o and http://bit.ly/10H61E

Congratulations to Emanuele Bosco of Portugal. He is the winner of the inaugural 48 Hour Feature Script Project. His winning script, entitled Undecidable is a 106 page drama with a story of hope, love, life choices... and... math!
Emanuele was one of three finalists selected from more than 75 entrants who submitted completed scripts. The other two finalists submitted excellent work.
- Lauren Schoepfer for There Are No Words
- Clayton Ignecia for Casanova
Our partner, NOBS Studios of the Netherlands, is working on pre-production of Undecidable and hopes to put it into production in the near future. In the meantime, Undecidable will receive a table read at Filmapalooza in March.
With the success of the first Feature Script Project, we are already making plans for 2020. Be sure to check upcoming newsletters for more details. The 2020 Feature Script Project will start in April.
What is the 48 Hour Feature Script Project?
It is an opportunity for veteran 48HFP filmmakers and writers to be recognized for a great script.
For years, 48 Hour filmmakers have proven their skill and creativity at filmmaking. The 48HFP is seeking to work with our talented filmmakers to go to the next level - create a feature film. As with any film, it all starts with the script.
The goal of the Feature Script Project is to find a script (or scripts) that can be successfully turned into a feature film. Of course, writers retain full ownership rights to their scripts.
The 48HFP is partnering with NOBS, an award winning Dutch production company for the inaugural 48HFP Feature Script Project. Our goal is to find and develop a script that is ready for production.

DD: T told me today that I am a nicee. Mommy, what is a nicee?
SW: No clue.
DD: Well, she said I am a nicee, and she liked normal people.
SW: Did she explain what she meant by that?
DD: She said I am too nice all the time. Is that a "nicee"?
SW: I don't know. Maybe she meant she doesn't like people who fake being nice?
DD: No, she said I am too nice.
SW: So basically she said that she wanted you to be meaner to her.
SW: Did you tell her to @#$$ !@#$ !@#$? (Okay that part was an imaginary scenario of what I quite possibly would've said in real life to any adult accusing me of being too nice to him.)
I am greatly bothered by this issue and not only because DD is involved. I don't get it. I really, really, totally don't get it. Why does being nice to peers results in social awkwardness? I know DD is not one of those who is faking niceness (not sure whether 7 year olds are even capable of that). She is a genuinely nice and considerate kid, and quite honestly I had very little to do with that. She was just born that way. So why are kids so nasty to each other? Why are bitchy girls more popular? Now in my olden age, when I have acquired some experience and wisdom - hopefully, I see how rare are people who are genuinely nice and take time to be considerate. Those are the qualities to be cherished, and people exhibiting them should be treasured. So I don't get the younger kids who not only don't value niceness, but actually consider it a vice. I guess that means that I don't get my younger self. It's hard to describe how much I want to go back in time and slap her around, for her own good.


text: Many countries in Asia and Latin America are financially stronger than most developed nations -- and their bonds offer generous yields. By Steven Goldberg, Contributing Columnist June 7, 2011 The U.S. faces risks from its debt overhang and uncertainty over when Congress will raise the debt ceiling. Europe and Japan, if anything, face even worse debt crises. But many countries, primarily developing nations, are growing rapidly and boast strong finances.It's hard for me to come up with a sound reason not to invest in bonds from emerging markets through a good mutual fund. I'll talk about a couple of no-load funds in a minute, but one of the best records among foreign bond funds belongs to Templeton Global Bond. The fund, which is sold through brokers and other advisers, generally levies a sales charge. Its no-load adviser class shares (symbol TGBAX) are typically sold through intermediaries who tack on their own asset-based fees, although the adviser class is sometimes available without additional charges in 401(k) plans. Steered by Michael Hasenstab, Global Bond's adviser class returned an annualized 12.8% over the past ten years through June 6. That puts it in the top 1% of international bond funds, according to Morningstar. Sponsored Content Hasenstab, 37, the skipper since 2001, heads a team that supervises $125 billion in U.S. and offshore foreign bond funds in a variety of flavors. Individual investors can also buy Templeton Global Income (GIM), a closed-end fund. Unfortunately, that fund, at its June 6 closing price of $10.77, traded at a rich 6% premium to its net asset value per share. My favorite for those of you who use an adviser is Templeton Global Total Return Adv (TTRZX), launched in 2008, because it holds corporate bonds in addition to bonds of foreign governments (Global Bond holds only sovereign debt). Templeton's Adv funds are no load and carry the lowest expense ratio of any of the Templeton funds. More than half of the assets of all of these funds are invested in emerging markets, mostly in Asia. The funds own bonds and currencies in Indonesia, South Korea, Malaysia and Singapore. In Latin America, it invests in Brazil, Chile and Mexico, and in Eastern Europe, it owns Hungarian, Polish and Ukrainian bonds and currencies. "You can pick up a nice yield without taking much interest-rate or credit risk in many emerging markets," Hasenstab says. Total Return yields 4.2%. If interest rates on similar bonds rise by one percentage point, the fund should lose a mere 2.4% of its value. Advertisement Hasenstab isn't against investing in the developed world. He just wants to invest in the healthiest developed nations. Currently, that includes countries such as Australia, Norway and Sweden. Hasenstab is bearish on the yen. His stance on Japan exemplifies his long-term approach. After the disastrous earthquake and tsunami that struck Japan, the yen rose sharply, as anticipated, because Japan repatriated assets from abroad. But Hasenstab believes Japan will have to keep monetary policy looser for longer than any other major country -- and that eventually will depress its currency. He's bullish on the currencies of Poland and Sweden compared with the euro, but neutral on the euro versus the dollar. Greece must restructure its debt, and Portugal faces huge problems, too, but Hasenstab thinks Europe will ultimately be able to contain its problems to those two small countries. "It won't be a Lehman-type event," he says, referring to the collapse of Lehman Brothers in September 2008, which triggered the global financial crisis. He currently has more than 40% of the assets in all of his broad-based funds in dollar-denominated securities. He says he doesn't have greater exposure to the dollar because he's concerned that monetary policy remains too easy in the U.S. and that Congress won't do much before the 2012 elections to remedy the U.S.'s huge budget shortfall. Advertisement Hasenstab isn't worried by the spate of weak economic numbers in the U.S. "Most likely, U.S. growth will be at a rate of 2% to 3% for the rest of this year. There are normal ebbs and flows in a recovery. I don't think we should read too much into this soft patch. A double dip recession is a very low risk." In fact, the softening in the U.S. is just what the doctor ordered for many emerging nations, which are battling inflation -- so far successfully. "They're staying ahead of the curve and keeping inflation from becoming entrenched." Among other things, a slowdown in the U.S. economy means less demand for goods and services from emerging markets, helping to contain prices in those countries. Hasenstab doesn't run the funds alone. He has 14 professionals on his team and calls on 26 other bond experts around the globe. Franklin Templeton has another 90 bond professionals from which the funds get many of their individual bond picks. Another big plus for Hasenstab's funds: their low volatility. Pimco Emerging Local Bond D (PLBDX), a no load that invests solely in emerging markets, has been about twice as volatile as Templeton Global Bond over the past three years. Nevertheless, Pimco and the newly hatched T. Rowe Price Emerging Markets Local Currency Bond Fund (PRELX) are both good choices. But Hasenstab's funds are the pick of the litter. Steven T. Goldberg (bio) is an investment adviser in the Washington, D.C. area.

WARSAW — Polish prosecutors say they will investigate a commander in a notorious Nazi SS-led unit who has been found to be living in Minnesota.
An Associated Press investigation revealed Friday that Michael Karkoc, 94, entered the U.S. by lying to American authorities about his leadership role in the SS-led Ukrainian Self Defense Legion. The unit is accused of burning down villages in Poland filled with women and children. AP's evidence suggests that Karkoc was at the scene of the crimes, although no records link him directly to atrocities.
Poland's National Remembrance Institute said Friday that its prosecutors will investigate Karkoc's wartime role and provide "every possible assistance" to the U.S. justice system, which has used lies in immigration papers to deport dozens of suspected Nazi war criminals.
