text: Blacktip Reef is a breathtaking, award-winning exhibit full of color, light and movement located in the heart of National Aquarium. This coral-filled exhibit, replicating Indo-Pacific reefs, is active with life that guests can experience from many vantage points, including a new floor-to-ceiling pop-out viewing window that allows guests to virtually come face to face with the animals. Watch Blacktip Reef 4 Secrets of Blacktip Reef Even if you spent a full day in the National Aquarium's Blacktip Reef exhibit, you would never learn all the fascinating facts about its many animals, which range from blacktip reef sharks and tasselled wobbegongs to clown triggerfish and honeycomb stingrays. But thanks to these insider secrets provided by our knowledgeable staff and volunteers, you're about to know more than most visitors. 1. Our blacktip reef sharks are longtime buddies. One of the unique characteristics about blacktip reef sharks is their camaraderie. These big fish often swim in schools in the wild, and our school of blacktip reef sharks are no different. They lived together in our Animal Care Center for 18 months before moving into their new home in Blacktip Reef, giving them plenty of bonding time before the big day. 2. Our tasselled wobbegong shark has a secret hiding place. The tasselled wobbegong shark is tricky to spot—its ornate camouflaged exterior is easily mistaken for a piece of coral. But if you look closely at the left corner of our underwater viewing area, you're likely to notice her resting in her favorite spot near the glass. 3. The coral reef isn't made of real coral. Real barrier reefs can take 100,000 to 30 million years to fully form, so growing our own coral wasn't an option. Instead, we painstakingly crafted our own—all 3,000 pieces of it—from the molds of real coral skeletons. Now it serves as colorful shelter for our diverse array of Indo-Pacific fish. 4. Zebra sharks are spotted, not striped. The zebra sharks found in Blacktip Reef don't appear to have stripes at all, but that wasn't always the case. As juveniles, zebra sharks—often mistakenly called leopard sharks—have dark bodies with yellowish stripes. This pattern transforms into small dark spots on a grayish-tan background as they age. Animals in This Exhibit Blacktip Reef Shark The blacktip reef shark is named for the easily recognizable black tips on its dorsal and caudal fins. Clown Triggerfish The clown triggerfish is one of the most desirable fish for aquariums because of its unique appearance. Emperor Angelfish 公和我做好爽Male emperor angelfish are territorial, and they will defend their living space, as well as the few females they share it with. This area can be as large as 10,760 square feet. Guineafowl Puffer The guineafowl puffer has a rounded body covered with prickles, and is generally brown or golden in color, depending on life stage. The color can be highly variable. Harlequin Tuskfish The harlequin tuskfish is a solitary animal, but it can be aggressive and territorial at times. Humphead Wrasse The colossal humphead wrasse, also called the Napoleon wrasse, is one of the largest fish inhabiting coral reefs. It is easily identifiable by its thick lips, prominent bump on its forehead and two black lines behind its eyes. The coloring of humphead wrasses can range from a dull blue-green to brilliant shades of green or purplish-blue. Reticulated Whiptail Ray 公和我做好爽The reticulated whiptail ray, has a light brown body with dark brown spots. Its underside, however, is a solid off-white. Its snout is pointed, and when intact, its tail can reach three times its body size. The tail usually has one barb on it. Slingjaw Wrasse The slingjaw wrasse is a very peculiar fish because it folds its jaw under its head when not in use and extends it from its body when it needs to catch food. Spotted Unicornfish Adult spotted unicornfish can be anywhere from bluish gray to olive brown in color. Wobbegong Shark The wobbegong has a wide, flat body that sports a series of dark lines and splotches against a pale background. This pattern helps it disappear amid the ocean floor. Zebra Shark These zebras lose their stripes! As juveniles, these sharks have dark bodies with yellowish stripes. As they mature, the pattern changes to small dark spots on a grayish-tan background.

Cake Boss gives away cakes in Market Square
Line for free cake forms early in Downtown Pittsburgh
A big crowd formed Tuesday in Market Square as Buddy Valastro, star of the "Cake Boss" TV show, gave out thousands of free cakes.
A spokesman said 10,000 cakes would be available for free in the downtown square until 6 p.m., or until the cakes were all gone.
SLIDESHOW: Photos of the cake giveaway in Market Square
Valastro said, "Anytime I've ever come to Pittsburgh, everybody made me feel at home, made me feel like family. If there's one city that always pulls through for me, it's Pittsburgh. So, when I had the choice to do this in any city in the country, I chose Pittsburgh because I knew that we would have a great reaction."
Gina Capozili works downtown. Her boss let her wait in line for hours for the free cake. She said, "I got a chocolate cake, it's called Oh My Ganache."
Capozili said, "He's handsome, he's gorgeous, I love it."
Juan Escobar from Germantown, Maryland says he drove 229 miles to be here today. He said, "Absolutely for this." When asked if it was more for the free cake or more to meet Buddy Valastro, Escobar said, "For me? Cake, for her, Buddy," referring to his nine year old daughter Kayla. Kayla says she is not planning on sharing her cake. That should not be a problem considering each of her four brothers and sisters got a full size cake of their own.
Sky 4 flew over the square and showed a long line of people starting in the middle and snaking around. The giveaway began at 10:30 a.m. but the line was already forming by 8 a.m.
The event is a promotional vehicle for his new line of cakes that will be sold in grocery stores. Go to cakebosscakes.com/pittsburgh.html for more information.

ROAD (Remote Observatory Atacama Desert): Intensive Observations of Variable Stars
Franz-Josef Hambsch
Presented at the 101st Spring Meeting of the AAVSO, Big Bear Lake, CA, May 22–24, 2012
Received August 23, 2012; revised October 1, 2012; accepted October 2, 2012
The author discusses his new remote observatory under pristine skies and the intensive observations of variable stars he is accomplishing. The stars under investigation are mainly cataclysmic variables, observed in response to AAVSO, CBA, and VSNET alerts; other types, such as RR Lyrae stars, were also observed. Examples are presented of dense observations of different cataclysmic variables as well as an RR Lyrae star. Featured is the first bright outburst of SV Ari (Nova Ari 1905) since its discovery, as well as the first outburst of UGWZ candidate BW Scl. Results for VW Hyi, another cataclysmic variable, will also be shown. Furthermore, an intensively observed RR Lyrae star will be highlighted.

Say yes to the best network.
Though networks like TLC and Lifetime have an impressive roster of wedding shows, from "Bridezillas" to "Four Weddings," none can compare to the April 29th nuptials of Prince William to his fiancée Catherine Middleton. And networks are chomping at the bit to cover it, fictional or otherwise.
The last British royal wedding was in 1981 between Prince Charles and the late Lady Diana. That alone attracted over a billion viewers.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
The networks are pulling out all the stops in their seemingly endless coverage. "Entertainment Tonight" and "The Insider" have Jane Seymour and Sharon Stone as foreign wedding correspondents. Barbara Walters will cover for ABC, as she did for Charles and Diana's wedding some 30 years before. Entertainment Weekly reports that TLC will air a week's worth of wedding specials, ranging from "Say Yes to the Dress" marathons to dozens of royal shows documenting various aspects of kingly weddings.
And both Hallmark and Lifetime are making fictionalized accounts of the royal couple. The Lifetime movie, entitled "William & Kate," will air on April 18th, followed, several months after, by Hallmark's "William & Kate: A Royal Love Story."
It's also TLC that's contending with BBC America for actual wedding coverage. The Daily News reports that TLC is currently promoting a "shortened version" of the actual wedding, while BBC America, along with its across-the-pond counterpart BBC One, will provide "full uninterrupted live coverage."

Clint Eastwood was hoping to begin shooting in February his remake of "A Star Is Born" with Beyonce--and possibly Leonardo DiCaprio--but with the singer looking to be about four months pregnant, that just ain't gonna work, reported Deadline.
The silver lining is that Clint hasn't yet settled on a leading man, his efforts to woo Leonardo DiCaprio having failed. Most recently, it was Christian Bale whose name was rumored to be in the hunt, but frankly, we don't approve.
U.S. & World
However this plays out, we're thrilled for the happy couple, are loving the BeyJayFetus twitter feed and can't wait for the kid's first album to drop sometime around 2024.

Information and Product Offerings for Wholesale C size NiCd (Nickel Cadmium) Rechargeable Batteries
Nickel Cadmium batteries, (abbreviated NiCd) are 1.2 volt rechargeable batteries, very commonly used today in many consumer electronic devices. They are often used in radios and flashlights but of course in a host of many other products too.
C NiCD's have a low self-discharge rate. That means that compared to cells with a standard discharge rate, C NiCD's discharge some of their power when not being used, at a slower pace.
It should be noted though, that C NiCDs can experience "memory effect". Memory effect means "reduced total battery capacity when a battery is charged before it has been fully discharged". Recharging before empty, causes the battery to "remember" its' now lower capacity limit so when charging your C size NiCd's, it's best to wait until the batteries have been completely drained of power before re-charging. In this way, you will not reduce the overall power limit of the battery, protecting your investment, as well as the performance of the batteries.
Do visit our selection of C Battery Chargers to see our selection and protect your C NiCD battery investment.

1) The motion server is not rerun after web modification, it is only runnend on reboot. So if you add any devices using motion, you will need to reboot2) & 3) I have tested myself creating a new capture card device. When created it comes with the default parameters(Number of Ports = Number of maximum child suported cameras = 4), (Video Standard = The video norm from the motion.conf file = 0 (PAL)), (Video Input type = The type of camera inputs = 8 (the value is if you have a capture card) for TV/capture it would be used 1). So it comes with default values. When adding a camera (must be as child device) it adds this one too with the default parameters, when created you must modify the Port Number option this represents the number of thread that will be added to motion server.
4) a) For suporting USB cameras and/or IP cameras and other kind of inputs it would be require to modify the Generic_Analog_Capture_Card into a Generic_Motion_Wrapper, doing this will solve this problem and those concerning the features of motion. For now it is no other way for implementing USB cammeras beside building a template, genereting source and building it. I will try to find a fast and easy way, to do this.

As far as kicks, it's a very controllable feel, pops are excellent thanks to the stainless steel and sand filler. Stalls are a dream and the fill is exactly perfect.

What's Your Royal Title?
Since it is the time for all the wedding hoopla to take place I decided to have some fun with my Facebook status by posting the following – "What is the name of your Royal Wedding Guest name? Start with Lord or Lady…Your first name is the first name of your grandparents….Surname is the name of your first pet….The name of the street you grew up on with "of"."
Who knew I had such important friends? They came up with names like Lord Everett Pretzel of Viceroy, Lady Lilby Piper of Preakness, Lord Wilbur Smokey of Welcome Hill, Lady Elizabeth Pepe of Pullen, Lady Annie Bucky of Chapel Hill, Lady Sarah Tinkerbell of Valencia and last but not least Lord Charlie Hotdog of Windridge.
The made up names are rather comical, aren't they?
However, real royal titles can be a little strange also and some are downright funny.
Take King Niall of the Nine Hostages, for example. You don't know about him? He's the one who kidnapped Saint Patrick.
Sir William Douglas the Hardy at Scone also known as Black Douglas fought alongside William Wallace.
The Marquess of Bute was create in 1796 and the title is still in use today by a British racecar driver. Dumfries House serves as their family seat.
Then , of course, we have the more familiar Earl of Sandwich. While he didn't invent the sandwich the food is attributed to him. Seems he liked the gaming tables so much he would have servants bring him some meat between two slices of bread to eat. Hmmmm…..I wonder if he hung out with the Earl of Mayo or the Earl of Munster.
….and what about Baron Strange? Hmmm…..that's just strange.
The Earl of Inchcape is a title that was created in 1929 for a shipping magnate, and one of the Earls of Jellico commanded the Grand Fleet at the Battle of Jutland.
Earl Nugent brings to mind Wango Tango Cat Scratchin' Ted.... and The Earl of Rocksavage sounds like a wrestler with the WWF, but it's actually the courtesy title for the heir of the Marchess of Cholmondeley which is pronounced "Chumley". Doesn't that name make you think of Chumlee from the History Channel's Pawn Stars.
What about the Earl of Camperdown as in "Did you take the camper down after our NASCAR weekend at Rockingham?"
The Duke of Atholl makes me think of "The Focker's" series of movies for some reason.
Thankfully the title Earl of Wigtown was surrendered in 1372 because……well, seriously…..Wigtown????
And finally…..the Earl of Lovelace….when I mentioned this title to my husband he asked, "Is he kin to 'Duke' Throat?"
After this I doubt I will ever be invited to any royal parties.
Oh well…..
Many congrats to the Happy Couple!

With Democrats in power in Sacramento and in the White House, you might think there wouldn't be much disagreement between California and Washington.
But you'd think wrong.
Yes, there's a constant desire on the state's part for more money from the federal government. But California also battles Washington on a host of smaller matters. In one recent week, four losses made news, all within about 48 hours of each other.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
The Supreme Court vs. safe California meat
The state passed a law trying to keep sick animals out of the food supply. But the U.S. Supreme Court ruled last week that a federal law, backed strongy by the meat industry, governs and that the state law is invalid.
Our attorney general vs. the rest of the country on mortgages
Other attorneys general are trying to settle with mortgage servicers. But California's Kamala Harris doesn't like the terms of the deal and is pursuing her own investigation of shoddy mortgage practices. To be fair, the Obama administration tried to sweeten the terms of the deal by earmarking $8 billion just for California homeowners--but the other states rebelled at the terms.
Google's driverless cars against the feds
Google has been experimenting with driverless cars in California, and has shown such vehicles are workable and safe. But federal regulators are expressing skepticism and has yet to regulate this driverless technology.
Obama vs. California higher education
The president is promising to cut back on federal dollars to institutions that raise tuition. Institutions such as California's university systems. Of course, California's universities are raising tuition in large part because of cutbacks in public support. So talk about a Catch 22: universities are having to raise tuition because they are losing public support. And if they raise tuition, they may lose federal support.

It appears many of you are seeking clarification about what medical tourism is and the far-reaching implications to your own quality of life.
Baby Boomers, especially healthy people, are looking to make wise choices based on all their options to maintain their active lifestyles.
Let's start communicating and discussing how to "connect the dots" between the concept of medical travel and your life by defining the popular terms used to describe the resources available and the way people are using those resources.
As a starting point, we invite you to take our medical tourism survey. The range of questions will broaden your awareness of the primary reasons people travel for medical treatment and help you determine whether it is a possible option for you.
To delve deeper into the subject you may find the following distinctions helpful. We've arranged them in a format easy to scan for topics of interest. We use human interest stories as examples to help people identify with how real people experience medical travel.
The History of Medical Tourism
Medical tourism is choosing to travel outside your local area for medical services. International medical services are "any coordinated out-of-country medical service" that requires a patient to travel to a treatment destination.
The medical tourism industry was born as soon as it became clear that lower cost environments of emerging economies could offer first-world care at third-world prices, as well as solutions not available in his or her home country.
Medical tourism is important to people who can't afford, or cannot obtain, quality health care solutions in their home environment. Knowledge about medical solutions abroad is also very important to people who relocate to live elsewhere ("expats").
These folks need to figure out how to manage their healthcare needs, locate quality health care options and distinguish clinical quality from snake oil solutions.
Medical Tourism Today
In the last few years – and particularly since the recession – the pent up demand for cost effective treatment solutions has permeated to the consciousness of mainstream healthcare consumers, medical service providers and insurance companies.
Whereas in the early 1990's medical travel was reserved for rich, upper class patients, NOW DAYS, we all agree that travel-for-treatment is EVEYONE's domain. We have come to terms with the fact that it is "OK" to source medical treatment from different corners of our global village world. The era of global healthcare resource sharing has arrived.
The Internet has removed all barriers to healthcare information. Knowledge that was historically the sole domain of physicians has found its way into the hands of patients and empowered them as knowledgeable healthcare consumers.
Throughout the world, medical excellence is found in major metropolitan areas that have great academic infrastructure producing competent physicians and researchers.
Some of Americas best known healthcare brands are expanding their presence to countries that are desirable retirement destinations. The proliferation of the brand has an immediate positive effect on quality of medical care.
For example, Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore is aligned with Hospital Punta Pacifica in Panama City and with Clinica Las Condes in Santiago Chile'.
To understand, and value, all choices offered under the umbrella of "Medical Tourism", one should consider (and contrast) the experience of accessing care from a hospital in your city of residence.
Other than for routine checkups, typically you might visit your doctor or hospital because something hurts, some symptom is alarming, or something just needs to be fixed. You are not thinking "what do I want to experience and can I get more value out of this". You're just trying to get it over with and get well.
That limited concept of a health care experience changes with medical tourism. You're not restricted to cookie-cutter processes. Let me paint a different picture for you. First, let's talk about why people travel and then define the "popular" definitions of Medical Tourism through case studies of real experiences.
Why People Travel
People travel around the world from and to locations such as India, Mexico, Costa Rica, Thailand, and the US to find the best medical services and to be treated by doctors whose expertise and reputation are worth the trip.
Seven Primary Reasons to Travel for Medical Care
There are many reasons to travel abroad for medical care. The Primary reasons are cost, quality of care, availability of alternative treatments, privacy, physician expertise and technique, the allure of a "medical vacation", and often the amenities of more personalized care and luxurious accommodations.
1. Cost Savings
It turns out that the US medical industry is terribly overpriced. There is a booming market of people who choose to travel abroad for high cost procedures. Others will have medically-light procedures done and save enough money to pay for a vacation abroad.
A hip replacement in the US that can cost $45,000 to $92,000 you might get in India for $9,000. Not comfortable with the long air flight to India? CostaRicanMedicalcare.com just arranged for a 64 year old Sarasota, Fla. Resident to travel to Costa Rica for her hip replacement for a cost less than $15,000 – all inclusive including the surgery, recovery facility, airfare and accommodations.
So, you see, it's not always about price, it's about matching your comfort level – and your situation – to the quality choices available to you as these examples show.
First Time Dental Tourist Saves $30,000… and she's shouting about it! – Listen to the live interview of a Canadian woman who saved $30,000 in dental care.
First Time Medical Traveler Journals Experience – In the U.S. the cost of a crown is $1,000, in Mexico it's $250.
Health Savings Accounts and Health Travel in Costa Rica – Insurance Executive paid $1,000 for an Executive Plan Physical that his doctor in the States said would have cost him $5,000 – $6,000.
What's it Like – Rushing to The Dentist in Brazil? – Expat compares the price of dental work done in Brazil for $320 vs. $4,000 in the U.S.
A Better Deal For US Patients in Canada – Washington State patients save 30 to 70% off the cost of medical procedures in the States by crossing the Canadian border to The False Creek Healthcare Centre in Vancouver, B.C.
"Five Dollars, Please!" – It's the day-to-day stuff that sometimes reveals the most about health care abroad. At least that was the experience of Angie Johnson, 71, of Panama City, Panama.
2. Quality of Medical Care – Milestones in surgery abroad
You might think that you have to compromise quality of care for these cost savings.
There are international bodies such as JCI, patients beyond borders, and ISO that provide certification of medical facilities and providers. The American Medical Association has also recently released nine guidelines for use of medical tourism.
Role of U.S. insurance companies in building acceptance of offshore care
It speaks volumes about quality of care when U.S. insurance companies offer insurance products to employers that include options for offshore medical care. Medical Tourism pilot programs include Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield (WellPoint), United Group Program, Blue Shield and Health Net, Blue Cross Blue Shield.
In addition to JCI and ISO certified medical facilities and providers, outbound patients from the U.S. have an option to travel to U.S. providers (at international sites) or their affiliates and partners.
U.S. health care organizations branding health care standards globally
U.S. health care organizations participating in some of the better-known international collaborations involving medical tourism are Cleveland Clinic, Cornell Medical School, Duke Medical School, Harvard Medical International, Johns Hopkins International, Memorial Sloan Kettering, University of Pittsburgh, and Columbia University Medical School. (Medical Tourism, Update and implications, 2009 6/16, a product of The Deloitte Center for Health Solutions).
Global leaders in the industry have built world-class facilities with world-class doctors while bringing back a sense of customer service to medicine. The ability to shop this global market allows consumers to make personal choices about the treatments that are best for them and fit their needs.
Traveling Doctors – U.S. Doctors performing surgeries abroad
This is likely to be the big "game changer" in medical tourism – where a patient can travel to a location (for cost and quality considerations) and have surgery done by their own doctor.
3. Alternative Treatments
A third incentive for medical tourism is availability of alternative treatments. I interviewed a Parkinson's patient who was nearly wheel chair bound. He had watched his father die a slow and painful death in a wheelchair from the same disease.
After some research he found a clinic in Mexico providing Stem Cell therapy. After only three weeks of treatment, he was walking upright and without a cane again. This same therapy was not available in the US. Mexico: A Parkinson Patient Walks Again After Stem Cell Therapy.
4. Privacy of Medical Tourism
It surprises many that privacy is a big factor in why people travel for medical care. Here are three common scenarios where privacy is a consideration:
When you have tests, procedures and treatments done abroad, at your own expense, you have control over what you want to disclose on your medical records.
Part of a "boutique" medical experience is recuperating – away from home, away from business and home schedule demands – and where you have complete anonymity.
Also, while women are more prone to "talk" about their cosmetic surgeries, men are more inclined to value their privacy about procedures done abroad – and so it's not surprising that it's common for men to have procedures done while away on vacation or in conjunction with a business trip.
Even major hotel chains are catering to the privacy of medical tourists. The Ramada is doing it right – a blueprint to follow when catering to medical tourists.
5. Physician Expertise and technique
I asked a doctor who trained other doctors in advanced techniques, why he would train people to compete with him. His answer was "I can teach them which tennis racket to use, but that doesn't mean they can play the same game." Here are some examples of doctors and clinics that are known for their specific areas of expertise:
Vibroliposuction – Why People Are Willing to Travel For it! – weekend and medical vacation junkets to Costa Rica for specialized liposuction techniques.
Eye Surgery in Panama by a Celebrated Doctor – How to find an eye surgeon on top of their game.
Medical Tourists Flock to Canada for Best Quality Hair Transplants – Nearly 80% of their patients travel from Miami, New York, London, Spain, Australia, Italy and Libya to have their surgeries performed by these two renown surgeons.
Can Your Dentist Pass the Litmus test? – "too many dentists are not up to date with technology, don't have quality control over the dental product, and don't have the equipment to provide their patients with the best choices."
6. Medical Vacations – win/win and you're on vacation!
A trip and a treatment – often paying for a family vacation with the money you save having needed (or preventative) procedures done abroad. Holistic Wellness Travel a/k/a Spa Destinations also falls within the "medical vacation" category.
Mexico: Cross-Border Dental Care In Los Algodones, (Yuma, AZ border crossing) – my own personal "medical vacation" experience. I can't wait to have more!
7. Quality of Personal Care – The Comfort Factor
People value, more than you might think, the ambiance of more personalized care. It makes all the difference in the experience. Here are some examples:
Up Close And Personal With Thai Healthcare – doctors making house calls and a team of nurses attending to your every need.
Medical Tourism in India: Where Major US Health Insurers Send Their Insured. – Apollo Hospital's Platinum Suites with internet café and 24/hr. nurse attendants.
A Hotel in Costa Rica Leaves a Lasting Impression – a luxury hotel picks up the tab for EMT visit.
Objections to Medical Tourism – how they are being overcome
Decreasing Risks of Complications
Complications can escalate and eat up any cost savings dramatically. This is where a good medical tourism facilitator is worth his or her weight in gold. Safety Protocol for Medical Tourists – Good Surgery Recovery Requires In-Country Post-op Care.
Organize your personal medical records What's in your wallet may make a difference . . . between life and death – or get help doing it – Online Personal Health Records the Easy Way.
Trust the Doctor you Know
One of the big objections to medical tourism is that people don't want to leave their doctor. That's why the new trend of U.S. doctors traveling with their patients is such a "game changer". Example: Medical Tourism Takes Flight for Both Doctors and Patients.
Common Sense Tips regarding subjective expectations
This is common sense, but it may help you identify some risks and take adequate precautions.
How to Pick a Dentist in Mexico – Trust But Verify! – Be careful what you ask for.
Medical and Dental Travel – "Meeting Client Expectations"
The Forces Driving the Future of Medical Travel
How US Healthcare Reform is impacting health insurance costs
The pressure on consumers continues to grow. Monday, the Kaiser Family Foundation released a survey showing that people "who buy their own health insurance report the most recent rate increase requests have averaged 20 percent…," Kaiser Health News reported.
"The foundation surveyed just over 1,000 people who don't get insurance from their employer, finding that 77 percent reported an increase with their current or previous insurer. Most paid the increase. But 16 percent switched to less expensive plans" (Appleby and Schiff, 6/21). (KHN is a project of the foundation.)
The National Association of Health Underwriters (NAHU), according to a NAHU member, is stating that some large self-insured companies like AT&T, John Deere and Caterpillar, for example, may opt to pay the penalty and not provide insurance to their employees under the current restrictions and regulations.
The example given was that if AT&T with 280,000 employees chooses to drop their employee insurance coverage (for which the company pays 1.5 billion dollars/year) and instead pay the penalty for not providing insurance they would recognize a windfall profit of seven hundred fifty-five MILLION dollars. That's a sum that qualifies to be labeled "a deal you can't refuse".

Chelsea Gable, the voice of Classic Elite Yarns, passed away in an auto accident on September 3rd. Chelsea was such a positive presence – she laughed a lot, loved her various jobs, and especially loved the yarnie-world.
|At TNNA, June 2010
Betsy Perry, owner of Classic Elite Yarns, remembers when she first spoke to Chelsea about a job with CEY – Chelsea described herself this way:
I spent much of my adult life concertedly laying the groundwork for a future career in hospitality [where she held several significant positions]. That all changed when I picked up my first pair of knitting needles. I learned to knit in the summer of 2008 on a summer cottage on the banks of Lake Blaisdell, surrounded by three generations of knitters. I continued on the screened porch, in the car, on the train, at home, and sitting in restaurants and cafes. I consumed books, videos and blogs.
When I was hired part time at my local yarn store, my knitting career exploded; I was able to pursue my craft in a creative, colorful and expressive environment and my skill, knowledge, and creative boldness increased exponentially! During my days and nights of working in a restaurant, I often mourned the hours that could be spent researching knitting, talking about knitting, or actually knitting.Chelsea joined CEY in early 2010 and worked on all sorts of projects – writing copy, overhauling the website, getting this blog up and running, publishing the Web-Letter and every other odd-ball project that came her way. She grew up in NYC and loved visiting there regularly, but she also loved Boston and camping in New Hampshire.
|Posing for a Web-Letter photo (she didn't want to do it, but complied with a big smile anyway).
Everyone at CEY, whether they worked much with her or not was touched by Chelsea. A few of our favorite memories and stories follow – if you would like to share one of your memories of Chelsea, please feel free to do so in the comments.
Chelsea was a delightful, bright and beautiful woman. She was always upbeat no matter how much we would bug her with questions and requests and problems. She had a wonderful talent with words – her writing was fluid and clear and always entertaining. She had a smile for everyone and great stories to share. She will be missed here and in the world.
I did not have the same interaction with Chelsea that most of our crew did. Mostly a greeting in the morning or a "Good Night" when leaving. And some occasional chit chat in the lunchroom. Chelsea was just so pleasant, upbeat and full of energy. Most of all she had the best great big smile, I am really going to miss that smile.
|Office knit-a-long, August 2011
I am very glad that I told her that my work day was more fun when she was in the office. I will miss her terribly.
I would just like to say how warm and friendly Chelsea was. She would help me with my computer from time to time. I never saw her mad or upset, always upbeat. Chelsea, you will surely be missed.
|"I finished my Elizabeth sweater in time for VK Live!"
She was one of those people that made you feel comfortable to talk with right from the start. I enjoyed spending time with her both at work and personally. I felt when working on any project with her it was always a collaboration, never a confrontation or battle of wills.
I remember eating dinner, all appetizers, with her, Susan and Betsy one night at the end of TNNA and we all had a great time with many laughs. We got several funny looks from the tables around us because we were being loud and having way too much fun!
Chelsea and I would tease each other about our opposite sweater styles. She loved loose fitting sweaters with miles of stockinette; I favor fitted lace, cables and ruffles. Last week when I checked my ravelry friend's activities, I noticed she had favorited a cute cabled tunic in Ariosa. When I saw her collecting Ariosa, I told her I knew what she was going to make and thought it was beautiful. She laughed and said she had already changed her mind and found a nice "boring" stockinette sweater to make with the yarn instead.
|You're already sorely missed, Chelsea.
(She jumped up to take this photo – quick to avoid being in front of the camera.)
Chelsea had been working on a Liberty Wool Print pullover for a long time. She usually stuck with neutral, solid yarns so it was a huge leap for her. While knitting at the lunch table, Chelsea repeatedly broke the yarn, dug through a project bag of partial balls, carefully chose one, re-joined the yarn and continued knitting.
She was meticulously, row by row, matching the stripes of the printed yarn she was knitting with the other half of the sweater that was already done. It was hilarious and everyone poked fun at her. She took it all with a big smile and undoubtedly had plenty of witty one-liners ready in response. There are few instances where I've ever had more fun knitting.
I got to share much of my work at CEY with Chelsea, usually because she ended all of her e-mails with "can I help?".
She was our voice (online and more), and a shining light. We will miss her very much. Chelsea leaves behind a legacy of joy and creativity. She also leaves quite a few WIPs!

Shut it down. It's finished. Tubing was once great, but it's done.
Pack up the rickety old bars. Destroy the "slide of death". Find another use for the tubes. Send the tourists and their ratty wristbands and their "In the tubing" singlets off somewhere else. It's over.
I didn't expect to feel this way about the demise of "tubing". As someone who's championed the experience of floating down a South-East Asian river in a rubber ring while getting hammered, I should be mourning its potential passing.
But it's the opposite. It should be gone.
From a distance I can now see that the whole Laos tubing experience has so many parallels to The Beach – Alex Garland's generation-defining book about an English tourist who stumbles upon a travellers' utopia on a Thai island – that it's ridiculous.
Like that community in The Beach, tubing was initiated by those with good intentions and little idea of the monster they would create.
As the story goes, in 1999 the owner of an organic farm upriver decided to reward his employees with a day of relaxation, floating down the Nam Song towards Vang Vieng on inner tubes. Others noticed and copied the experience, adding plastic bags full of Beerlao cans to their ride.
And so others followed, and others.
For a while there it really must have been a Beach-style South-East Asian utopia shared by the few, an experience kept secret not through design but by sheer isolation – because who would want to go to Laos? Just like-minded travellers up for a bit of fun and a few drinks. And so they floated down this beautiful river in an amazing part of the world, drinking cheap beers and loving life far from home.
But then Laos became cool and the numbers of visitors increased. Word got around on the backpacker grapevine. Soon there was a mafia-style collective of Vang Vieng families running the tube hire, and makeshift bars sprung up along the riverbanks. Stereos arrived. A mud volleyball court was set up.
Hard liquor was added to complement the Beerlao supply. Thai-style buckets were introduced. Drinking games were brought in. Drugs arrived – those chasing the drugs did too.
Like the community in The Beach, this one-time paradise, Vang Vieng, has gradually been chipped away at by the sheer number of visitors and their numerous accidents and bad habits, its original appeal completely destroyed by those seeking to enjoy their part of it.
I'm one of the ones that ruined it. You can't separate yourself from the rest of the backpacker hordes by virtue of good intentions.
I got in at the tail end. I first went to Vang Vieng about four years ago and spent two hilarious days floating down the river with some friends, drinking Beerlaos and jumping in the water, narrowly escaping accidents of my own and coming home to tell everyone what a great experience it was. My brother once said his day tubing was the best of his life – it was hard to argue.
I went back this year, however, and the vibe had changed. There are "lifers" there now, those Westerners who don't want to let the dream die, who take up work in the bars and wear their armfuls of wristbands – given to tubers each day they hit the river – as badges of honour. The challenge is to do 100 days in a row.
Those Westerners bring with them a new mindset, that you're not there to have fun with a few drinks, but to drink as much as possible and then have fun. They don't seem to get the contradiction of their carefully placed warning signs about rocks and their drinking games with cheap Thai whiskey.
There's the stench of death on the Nam Song now, but people have worked out that if you get wasted enough you can just ignore it.
I saw four backpackers being initiated into working at a bar when I was there this year. They were told to lie down, heads hanging over the back of a bamboo platform, and were then forced to skol an entire bottle of whiskey that was tipped down their throats. There are Mad Monday footy trips that are tamer than that.
That's not fun, for me. That's not utopia. That's a bunch of morons taking advantage of a place with no rules, in the process tearing apart everything that made that lack of rules great.
Like the backpackers in The Beach, they're desperate to cling to an idea that's already gone.
So go ahead and ban tubing. I won't mourn its passing. It was once fun, but it's finished.
Would you be happy to see the end of the tubing scene in Laos? Or do you think it should continue?

Hey Spy. I'm a beginner, and I've just written OMV to my microSD and turned on my Pi. I'm at the login screen, and every time I enter "admin" and "openmediavault" some text will appear briefly then it brings write back to the login screen. Any suggestions?
Hey Spy. I hope you are doing well. What are your thoughts about the recent split of HP into two companies? Does it affect you directly and your role in HP? I hope everything works out for you. I've been through several re-orgs myself so I can understand what's going on with your professional life. All the best of luck to you sir!

Commemorating its Past: UAlbany Students, Faculty and Alumni Battled in Gettysburg
UAlbany students, faculty and alumni took part in the Battle of Gettysburg, including Little Round Top, in 1863.
It is often regarded as the turning point of the Civil War: the Battle of Gettysburg, fought 150 years ago in and around the small Pennsylvania town, ended General Robert E. Lee's invasion of the North, and ultimately helped propel Union forces to victory in the war and abolish slavery in the United States. Among the 165,000 troops who fought in the battle were at least a dozen students from the Albany State Normal School – a teacher's college in upstate New York that would eventually become the University at Albany.
The students would serve on the front lines in the battle, helping hold the Union line at Little Round Top on July 2, 1863, where a Confederate victory might have dramatically altered U.S. history. Among them, Normal School alumnus Private Elbert Traver, '62, from Rhinebeck, N.Y. and undergrad Private George B. Wolcott, from Milan, N.Y., were both killed at the Battle of Gettysburg.
The largest regimental monument at Gettysburg is dedicated to the 12th and 44th New York Infantry Regiments, which included the Normal School Company. A tablet on one side of the monument at Gettysburg notes that in October 1862, two full companies - one of Normal School students and the other from Yates County, N.Y. - were added to the 44th New York Infantry.
UAlbany Professor and alum Albert Husted, '55, helped organize the Normal School Company in 1862.
After Lee's defeat of the Union in the Peninsula Campaign in July of 1862, two math professors, Albert N. Husted, '55, and Rodney G. Kimball, founded the Normal School Company, known as New Company E of the 44th New York Volunteers. Husted and Kimball recruited students, who dropped their books and shouldered muskets. They were nicknamed "Ellsworth's Avengers," for Elmer Ellsworth of Mechanicville, N.Y., a friend of Abraham Lincoln and the first Union casualty in the Civil War. The company numbered 100 men, including 25 undergraduates and alumni.
In the week before the conflict, the men marched 100 miles and were beginning to look tired and worn. They recovered just in time. "You naturally inquire as to how it came to pass that so many brave Texans could be 'gobbled up' by so small a force of Yanks," wrote Husted in Gettysburg in Perspective. "Our men were somewhat protected by large rocks and boulders, and, not far in front of the Union line were other rocks and boulders, which afforded considerable protection for the advancing foe, but from which it was very dangerous to retire when the main line retreated."
During the battle, about six men led by Normal School graduate Consider H. Willett '62 of Onondaga, N.Y., "sprang forward and received the surrender of the ninety Texans, who found themselves caught as in a trap," wrote Husted. Willett was promoted to Captain, and transferred to the U.S. Colored Infantry.
As Husted rounded up the prisoners to take them to the rear, one Rebel soldier "stood directly in front of me begging me not to shoot him, when a bullet, from the musket of a brother Texan, entered his back. Probably he saved my life, or, at least, protected me from a severe wound."
UAlbany alum Corporal Thompson Barrick from Geneva, N.Y., was a flag bearer who survived a bullet wound to the neck and shoulder while carrying the colors.
In addition to the Normal School Company, there were other graduates and students who joined other regiments.
According to UAlbany alum Chris Hunter (M.A. in history, 2000), curator of Collections and Exhibitions at the Museum of Innovation and Science in Schenectady, the highest ranking was Major General Henry Slocum, who commanded the Union 12th Corps. Slocum attended in the 1840s and left to attend West Point. In addition, four others from the Normal School fought on the Confederate side, and one of them was killed.
UAlbany Professor of History Allen Ballard has taught a graduate research seminar on the Normal School Company, and wrote Where I'm Bound (2000), the first novel about African-American soldiers who fought in the Civil War. The book is based on the true story of the 3rd Colored U.S. Cavalry troops. In a 1999 New York Times editorial, Ballard described the conflicting emotions he felt at Gettysburg, noting that black volunteers who sought to fight at Gettysburg were turned back en route to the battle.
Ballard also noted the bravery of the Normal School volunteers, who fought near Col. Joshua Chamberlain's 20th Maine Volunteer Regiment at Little Round Top, where the Union forces repulsed several Confederate assaults on July 2, 1863. The Normal School Company helped to hold the center of the line in defending the hill.
Ballard wrote how critical the victory was in repelling Lee and sending his forces retreating to the South, never again to set foot in Union territory. As Ballard states, had the Union lines been broken at Gettysburg the following afternoon at Cemetery Ridge during Pickett's charge, slavery might have continued in the South for generations.
Instead, the site would host President Lincoln on the afternoon of Thursday, November 19, 1863, to dedicate the Soldier's National Cemetery and to deliver perhaps the most well-known speech in American history -- the Gettysburg Address:
Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate, we can not consecrate, we can not hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

I was inspired to cook by my Late Grandmother Mrs. Magdalene Aranha when I was barely 6 years old. I spent a lot of enjoyable days in her kitchen, smelling & tasting & sometimes helping prepare the food being cooked. This blog is dedicated to my Nana Maggie. I've lived in 5 countries and 18 cities, so I cook with a variety of influences and ingredients and that reflects in this blog.

Book Review: The Tulleeho! Book of Cocktails
I first started writing (non-academic prose & to someone else's specifications and guidelines) way back in 1999, for a new dotcom venture called Tulleeho!.com. Chanty (Vikram Achanta), Venky (P Venkatesh) and I soon bonded online over our fascination for alcohol and penchant for drinking. I even met up with them while on a business trip (for my full time job) to Delhi and made it to the Tulleeho! Wall of Shame - the only woman to do so :)
The years passed by, Krishna Nagaraj joined them, Venky got back into the corporate world, they hired more staff, the website changed from being a set of reviews of places to drink at, to include cocktail recipes, coverage of new launches of alcohol related products in India and an online shop for bartending accessories among other things. They moved offline into cocktail workshops, wine and whisky tasting sessions and wine trails in India. I moved from India to the US and back, then to Egypt and Dubai before coming back again. In between, I attended their Cocktail workshops in Hyderabad, conducted by Shatbi Basu and kept bumping into them at the JLF and in Delhi. while staying updated via Tulleeho!.com and facebook.
I was very excited, when I heard that they had finally compiled the cocktail recipes on their website into a book and were due for launch just around the time, I was moving to Guwahati. I did not order the book off flipkart, because I was hoping to buy myself an autographed copy at a book launch while travelling to Delhi or Bombay. However, earlier last week, I was contacted by Blog Adda to review this book and I jumped at the opportunity. Scroll to the bottom of this post for details on how to join their book review program.
I had to wait longer than normal for the book to arrive, because the whole of Assam was closed for almost a week for the State Mourning and funeral of Dr. Bhupen Hazarika.The book came in the post yesterday and I eagerly tore it open to dive right in.
You can read this book like a regular book and start from page 1 and continue until the end or you can treat it like a cookbook and immediately jump to a recipe that catches your fancy. But its more than just a book of recipes, its a jewel of information regarding alcohol and all its attendant paraphernalia.
In the introduction, the authors say that they hope to make anyone who reads the book knowledgeable about alcohol, even if they have never taken a sip in their lives. I think they have succeded in this objective.
The Tulleeho! Book of Cocktails - instant karma, anarkali and other mouthwatering mixes starts with an introduction on different kinds of alcohol, barware, glassware, mixers, condiments and garnishes needed to stock a home bar. It then moves on to mixology - types of cocktails, bartending techniques, tips & tricks. There is a section in the middle which provides basic information about different liqueurs and other popular spirits. The bulk of the book is the recipes and the last few pages have valuable information, like where to shop for home bar requirements in the metros, alcohol calorie counter, hangover prevention and smart drinking.
The book is sponsored in part by Bacardi & Monin Syrups, so each get a few dedicated pages of cocktails revolving around their products in particular. Their logos also pop up across the book, but its easier to ignore than scroll bar ads on TV. However, their sponsorship also means that the reader only pays 395Rs (even less if you buy on flipkart or the Tulleeho website) for this bartending guide that is in full colour with an accompanying picture for each recipe, so its a great deal.
Grouped into different subsections depending on the primary alcoholic base (vodka, tequila, gin, rum, whiskey, brandy, beer, wine) each recipe includes its classification, the kind of glass that it should be served in, the skill level required to prepare it and the recipe. My favourite section most definitely is the dessert cocktails - cocktails that can be served instead of dessert. Most recipes also have a photo of what the finished product should ideally look like. There are also suggestions on which cocktails work best for particular occassions - holi, valentines day, monsoons, diwali and christmas.
The book has plenty of tips and trivia sprinkled across it, like how for the instant karma you can substitute 15ml Amaretto with 15ml almond syrup and up the vodka from 30 to 45ml. I especially loved the detailed information on tequila.
A lot of the recipes use fresh market produce - fruits and herbs.
The USP of this book is that almost all ingredients can be easily bought in India, of course some of them may be more reasonable if sourced from "duty free", but they are available in most well stocked stores too. There are a few recipes with Absinthe, Aquavit, Cachaca, Limoncello and Pisco which can only be bought from the countries of their origin. But these comprise hardly 5% of the recipes on offer. The other difficult to source syrups/liqueurs come with good substitute options.
My other concern was that some of the recipes call for Monin purees. Monin syrups are easily available, but I've never come across Monin purees in a shop which makes me wonder if these products are only available to bartenders. (in case you didn't know, there are plenty of processed food products in India that are only available to bulk buyers) I'll need to check on that. However in the meantime, I'm sure home made purees will suffice and be fresher and healthier - the only problem is that they oxidise quickly.
Most of the recipes in the book are easy or moderate and can be fixed by anyone who knows how to pour stuff out of a bottle and shake or stir. A few recipes are categorised difficult and this usually means that some form of fire or heating is involved. So they are still quite easy to fix at home.
The recipes in this book are completely geared for the home bartender and is such a huge and welcome improvement from the imported cocktail books I've seen in bookstores here. Those imported books are normally really thick and huge, but once you start scanning the list of ingredients, you realise that you can barely try to make even 25% of them at home. Either the ingredients are unavailable in India or the techniques involved require much higher skill levels.
So go ahead, pick this one up, who knows the bartending bug may bite so hard, that you may find yourself registering for a flair bartending workshop with Tulleeho!

Now the haute-couture shoe is on the other perfectly crafted foot. When was the last time someone apologized to Naomi Campbell for getting angry and overreacting?
The driver who accused supermodel Naomi Campbell of assaulting him from the back seat of a luxury SUV in midtown now says he's the one "got angry and overreacted" and regrets involving the police.
Driver Miodrag Mejdina said through his lawyer Thursday that the incident was "blown out of proportion" and he wants to apologize to Campbell "for causing that to happen."
He says he will not press charges.
Campbell herself also issued a statement after Mejdina, saying she was being judged for things she had done in the past.
"On Tuesday, March 2nd I was accused of unacceptable behavior towards a driver in New York," said the supermodel."I have worked very hard on correcting my previous wrongdoings and I will not be held hostage to my past. I try to treat everyone with respect and I am pleased the driver has apologized. I would like to put the last few days behind me and move on."
Mejdina had told police that Campbell hit him from behind Tuesday and his head struck the steering wheel of the black Cadillac Escalade.
Campbell has faced a series of lawsuits and criminal cases accusing her of attacking household employees in New York and Toronto and two police officers at London's Heathrow Airport. Usually she has used phones.
