The Pink City & Old Friends
I climb up an unsteady pile of rocks just off the side of the road. Before me, hundreds of colours swirl, and voices fight to be heard. I change my lens and and bring my camera to my face snapping off a few quick bursts of photos, trying to capture the frenetic market scene in a still photograph. Unsatisfied, I look for a better vantage point and spot a small brick wall, fifty feet away and head for it. I attempt to hop up onto the wall, sweat from the humid desert air glues my new green shorts to my leg, (my girlfriend Salomeh had just purchased these for me with strict instructions not to wear them to work) and as I stretch to make the jump, the pen in my pocket bursts through, cutting a hole in my shorts. I hear the noise and look down at a three-inch gap exposing my pasty white thighs, and see the pen from a hotel, through the newly formed hole, mocking me. S**t…! I hear a giggle, and look behind the wall to see a young boy of about ten years old, sitting bare-assed and shitting, while pointing to the hole in my shorts and laughing…
A week ago I arrived in Jaipur (dubbed the Pink city), Rajasthan after a nearly two year absence. It was over three years ago that I arrived in Jaipur, having travelled overland from Mumbai, weary from the train journey but excited about my new adventure, The Dirty Wall Project. DWP was just three weeks old and I was wide-eyed, but excited at the prospect of helping. Previous to my initial trip to Jaipur, DWP had delivered food to hospital patients, given rations to a blind community, funded kidney dialysis for a patient in Mumbai, and handed out umbrellas for shade, to poor street vendors. I was fresh and naive, but wanted more . A friend of mine had told me about Vatsalya and I was eager to see their work first-hand. It was clear from the start that Vatsalya was one of the good guys in the NGO world and was truly helping. Over the next week or so, I visited their programs, donated some DWP funds, and helped set up a health clinic in a slum community in Jaipur. It was my first time being in a slum community and after two hours, I knew that's where I wanted to work. I wanted to find a community where I could bring joy and a helping hand too. In the end, that community was 1200 km's to the south in one of the biggest cities in the world, Mumbai.
Fast forward 3 years and DWP has become a recognized NGO in India, and has had the chance to help thousands of people. DWP has continued to stay in contact with Vatsalya (run by Jaimala & Hitesh Gupta) and over the last few years has joined with Vatsalya to work on several projects, including health camps and selling Vatsalya's womens' products in Canada. Just recently, Vatsalya opened up a school just off campus from the orphanage located just outside of Jaipur, and I was eager to visit and see what other new initiatives Vatsalya had started since my last visit.
Vatsalya is always busy and this time was no different. I spent the first few days being Vatsalya's photographer, taking event photos at several of their vocational training graduations around Jaipur. I continued to lend a hand and used DWP's photography to capture their new school, their programs and the new womens' products, for use on their website and for fundraisers. During my time I also had several meetings with them, trying to get a handle on what DWP could do financially for their organization. DWP has been blessed with some very generous donations as of late and I wanted to help Vatsalya with some of their programs.
One of the main problems I have encountered during my time raising funds for DWP and watching other organizations battle for funds, is that certain stuff is easier to raise funds for and some things are damn near impossible. Everyone wants to have their money go towards the building of a school or the sponsorship of a child, but funding the repair work for a fence or a teacher's salary is not quite as "sexy" to be a part of. It's understandable, but also a difficulty for all NGO's trying to keep their programs running with the high cost of maintenance and upkeep. DWP has raised money on the mandate "to see a need and fill it" and it requires a great amount of trust from our donors. Supporters donate funds to DWP not for a specific cause, but with the knowledge that I am on the ground, in the thick of a situation, witnessing things first-hand, and making decisions that we all hope will have the greatest benefit and reach.
After a week visiting and photographing Vatsalya's work, I crunched some numbers and worked out what I believe to be a generous donation to Vatsalya from DWP. Like all honest NGO's, Vatsalya was interested in knowing what I hoped the money would be used for. I replied that the reason DWP was donating at all was because I trusted their work and integrity and that they know best as to where their funds are needed. They spoke to me about repairs around the school and orphanage and parts for their tractor to which I'm excited to be able to help with. There are a million things that go on to keep an amazing NGO like Vatsalya running and I am humbled that DWP's supporters and friends have put me in a position to fund the small things that will keep Vatsalya looking good and creating possibilities for children across Rajasthan.
*DWP donated 80,000 INR – $1600 CAD to help Vatslaya make repairs to their school and orphanage grounds.
*DWP also sold 20,000 INR – $400 CAD worth of Anoothi products in Canada on behalf of Vatsalya.

Study: In Ohio, Greater access needed for mental health supportive services (with document)
When mental health treatment such as counseling and medication are provided to clients, there frequently are other services they might to get on the path toward recovery.
Often, people need supportive services such as housing, employment assistance, peer support and crisis intervention.
Medicaid is a public health program that is funded by the federal and state governments for people who generally are lower income and have certain disabilities.
And these kinds of mental health supportive services are not typically reimbursable to a service provider by Medicaid, so the funding to pay for them has to come from elsewhere if a community wants to have this type of help available.
Recently, Ohio-based groups The Mental Health Advocacy Coalition and The Center for Community Solutions jointly released a new study of statewide data regarding mental health supportive services that are not reimbursable by Medicaid in Ohio.
The study, "By the Numbers 2: Developing a Common Understanding for the Future of Behavioral Health Care: Analysis of Ohio's Mental Health Non-Medicaid Spending," includes an overview and specific recommendations.
Total spending on non-Medicaid services by 46 boards that participated in the study and provide mental health services was $138.3 million in 2011, the study shows.
The largest category of spending is housing and it comprises about 48 percent of the total. Crisis and employment were the second- and third-largest spending categories and combined with housing totalled two-thirds of spending.
The study recommends increased investment at both the local and state levels on supportive mental health services to ensure that every resident needing them can access them.
"The breadth of services provided across Ohio is incredibly diverse," said Tara Dolansky of The Center for Community Solutions. "However, there is a dramatic lack of consistency based on geography." Continued...
The Lake County Alcohol, Drug Addiction and Mental Health Services Board participated in the study.
ADAMHS Executive Director Kim Fraser said there is no question that the most expensive options to treat someone with a mental illness is to put them in a hospital or jail, so supportive services may help them avoid that fate.
She is proud that Lake County voters have supported funding for behavioral health care because it allows for these supportive services to be paid for and offered by ADAMHS-funded agencies. In turn, that helps people become more productive members of society.
"When you strip away Medicaid which is a very capped and very specific benefit package in the state of Ohio, when you strip that away — the bottom line is many, many services that are provided through mental health system are not reimbursable," Fraser said. "The point of the study is that those services are absolutely critical, not only for the well-being of the individuals we serve but the community at large."
She said even when people receive psychiatric treatment, which is a reimbursable Medicaid expense for providers, if people don't have a roof over their head, food in their belly and other support, they can end up less healthy and less successful in their recovery.
"If we give people a more safe and economical option, they stay healthier in the community," Fraser said.
Spence Kline, CEO of Mentor-based Beacon Health, said employment services, support groups and other non-Medicaid funded supportive services for mental health clients in Lake County has been a large success.
When all services are pieced together, in most cases people are more successful, have a better chance to work and are a more productive citizen, Kline said.
"Our job is to help people recover to the maximum of their ability," he said. "The people who we serve want to be independent, they want to live the American Dream, have a place to live, have a car, have job, raise a family."

OTTAWA, March 21, 2013 /CNW/ - The federal budget announced today contains a number of measures that will benefit Canadians and drive productivity and economic growth said the Canadian Gas Association.
The federal budget includes initiatives that will help support Canada's economic growth and prosperity including:
"Investing in training, job skills, and community infrastructure all help to improve our competitiveness and productivity. And support for research and innovation will help ensure long-term growth," said Timothy M. Egan, President and CEO of the Canadian Gas Association.
CGA believes these initiatives offer significant opportunity to build on the innovation agenda:
"CGA has been driving forward with its own agenda on innovation," Egan noted. "Natural gas utilities look forward to opportunities to work with the Government of Canada on this."
CGA did note the government's reference to the potential negative implications of lower natural gas prices because of lower revenues and would highlight the fact that there is a very positive implication as well: energy that is even more affordable for Canadian homeowners, businesses, and industry.
Natural gas is an affordable, clean, safe and reliable energy choice for buildings and communities, large industry, and transportation. Natural gas has a central place in Canada's energy mix meeting 30 per cent of the country's energy needs. Today over 6.3 million customers representing well over half the Canadian population rely on natural gas for heat and power in homes, apartments, buildings, businesses, hospitals and schools.
CGA is the voice of Canada's natural gas distribution industry and its members are distribution companies, transmission companies, equipment manufacturers and other service providers. The website of the Canadian Gas Association, www.cga.ca, provides information, facts, and useful tools on this affordable energy choice.

LAKEWOOD RANCH — When the music faded to silence, Matt Facciolla turned to paint.
The 40-year-old singer/songwriter, who's held a guitar since he learned his first three cords at 12 years old, moved in 2000 to Los Angeles with his roommate Dave Schulz, of the Goo Goo Dolls.
But the music never came.
Within two years, the fledgling songwriter sought something more secure and ventured to Sarasota to open a painting business.
Now, near the end of a whirlwind year opening shows for the Outlaws, Lynyrd Skynyrd, the Goo Goo Dolls and the J. Geils Band, the Sarasota-based Matt Facciolla Band, Facciolla and his band mates, Joe Fanara and Wes Price, got the signature they need to keep the music coming.
After years of courting manager Jimmy Pendolino, who formerly worked for Aerosmith and Peter Gabriel, Pendolino finally signed on to manage the Matt Facciolla Band after he saw them play in person Aug. 31, at a show with the famed blues group, the J. Geils Band, in Buffalo, N.Y.
Now, the Matt Facciolla Band awaits the Nov. 9 release party for its second album, "Second Chances," at Ace's Live in Bradenton.
"I wouldn't say this means we made it, because making it to me means being able to write and play music again," says Facciolla, a Lakewood Ranch resident. "But it means we can get into doors that would be hard to get into our own. We're finally getting national attention now. "
Facciolla couldn't envision this scenario 10 years ago — or even 20 years ago.
He was born in Detroit, where hard-rock music paced life, but he spent most of his childhood in Buffalo, N.Y., where he grew up with Fanara, the band's bass player. Facciolla joined a cover band called TDM at 14 years old.
He would also sit in on sessions with Fanara's cover band, which the bass player formed with George Neeno, a current contributor to the Matt Facciolla Band.
Facciolla struggled to sing other artists' songs, and, in a few-year stretch, was kicked out of about 10 garage bands until he found the itch to write original lyrics.
So Facciolla started Electric Bushman, an original band whose second album, "Sink," was written up in Billboard magazine and caught the attention of the 1996 Atlantic Olympics, where the band performed with Gin Blossoms, Jewel and others.
Then, in his prime as an artist, Facciolla fled to L.A., the heart of the music scene.
Lonely without his family and overwhelmed by the transient lifestyle around him, L.A. zapped the energy out of Facciolla. His two years living on the West Coast started a four-year period when Facciolla never picked up a pen.
"I had no inspiration to write," Facciolla says. "L.A. can suck the creativity right out of you. I don't know if you can call it writer's block, because I'm not sure that really exists. It was just so opposite to Buffalo. It didn't work out."
At a wall with chasing a music industry he never truly embraced, Facciolla married in L.A., had a child and struggled financially until he moved in 2002 to Sarasota.
Here, he helped found Elite Painting & Design, which paints houses and plazas in Lakewood Ranch.
"I just met the right people," Facciolla says. "My family friend wanted to start a high-end paint company, and he thought I'd be perfect to run it."
Facciolla divorced, remarried, had another daughter, Kate, and reunited with Fanara,
The two quickly began writing music together, and Facciolla drew inspiration from the people around him.
"I don't know what sparked me to write again," Facciolla says. "Sometimes, the songs just come out of nowhere. It could be something around me that I see. Or it could be something someone says that gets me writing. I write where my head is."
Facciolla wrote a song called "Jimmy in the Jungle" about a monkey drinking rum.
He wrote songs about his daughters, 3-year-old Kate and 10-year-old Madison.
His song, "Undone," appeared in the 2011 movie, "The Final Night and Day."
In 2009, the Matt Facciolla Band released its first album, "Songs for a Needy World," while recording "Second Chances."
Facciolla and his band also recently agreed to perform at the January 2013 Sundance Film Festival in Utah.
Although Facciolla admits the edge of success feels different at 40 than it would if he were young, the joy of writing and the thrill of an audience stay the same.
"We have a great opportunity late in the game," Facciolla says. "After all these years running around, it's still the same. You have to win a crowd. And when we go out and have to prove ourselves, we do great in that situation."

Core Temp is free, please help support it by donating
Facebook page Software updates and other related news
Core Temp is a compact, no fuss, small footprint, yet powerful program to monitor processor temperature and other vital information.
What makes Core Temp unique is the way it works. It is capable of displaying a temperature of each individual core of every processor in your system! You can see temperature fluctuations in real time with varying workloads. Core Temp is also motherboard agnostic.
All major processor manufacturers have implemented a "DTS" (Digital Thermal Sensor) in their products. The DTS provides more accurate and higher resolution temperature readings than conventional onboard thermal sensors. (How does it work?). This feature is supported by all recent x86 processors. Processors by Intel, AMD and VIA are supported. A complete list of supported processors is available.
Core Temp is easy to use, while also enabling a high level of customization and expandability. Core Temp provides a platform for plug-ins, which allows developers to add new features and extend its functionality. You can find our plug-ins and add-ons here. If you are a developer and you are interested in creating your own addition, please see the developer's page.
Core Temp Requirements Operating System: Microsoft Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 2003 Server, 2008 Server (R2), 2012 Server. Processor: Intel, AMD or VIA x86 based processor.
Core Temp goes mobile! Have you ever wished that you could keep an eye on your systems while you were out of home or the office? If you have an Android or Windows Phone device, now you can! Click here for more information.
New Core Temp Gadget and Windows Media Center addon for Windows 7 and Vista. Recently I've released a new version of the Core Temp Gadget, completely overhauled. The new version includes a graph view, listing processor load or temperature as well as memory utilization. The readings are now color coded and they are user adjustable from the Options screen. Among these improvements the gadget can be resized and the information text above the readings can be hidden if so desired. You can download Core Temp Gadget and CoreTempMC from the Add Ons page. User feedback is important and you can leave yours right at the Live Gallery page for the gadget.
CoreTempMC is a Windows Media Center add-on for Windows 7 and Vista. It allows you to view information from Core Temp right from the Media Center interface using your remote. In addition it also displays the memory utilization.
Version 1.0 RC5 - 28th February, 2013 *** Core Temp Monitor is now available, an Android app to monitor your machines from anywhere in the world! More information can be found here. - New: Multilingual interface. Core Temp now natively supports adding non-English languages. - New: Plugin system - 3rd party developers can now create plugins and extensions for Core Temp, both native code and .Net is supported, please see this for more information. - New: Added support for Intel Pentium and AMD K5 and newer processors. (detection only, Temperature by Acpi Thermalzones) - New: Added support for VIA processors. (C3 - detection only, Temperature by Acpi Thermalzones) - New: Intel Sandy Bridge, Ivy Bridge, AMD Bulldozer, Piledriver and Fusion (Trinity, Llano, Brazos) support. - New: Max TDP detection on supporting processors. - New: Active power consumption on Intel's Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge processors. - Fix: All of the user reported bugs and many more unreported problems. - Update: Optimized the startup code, Core Temp should now launch 2 to 4 times faster. - Update: Optimized many other aspects of the code, Core Temp should now consume much less CPU time than before. - Update: Restored support for older OS: Windows XP is now fully supported, Windows 2000 requires security updates KB935839, KB835732 and GDI+. In some cases hotfix KB816542 may be needed as well.

Every person wishes that he or she could better manage his or her time. It is just this way. Even the people who seem absolutely and completely organized sometimes feel like they are off track or that they are slacking. When you are born, you don't automatically know the proper way to manage your time. Developing habits and character traits as we grow up is what life is all about. If you want to manage your time better, there are a lot of things you can do, which is good news. This article will give you several ways.
One of the first improvements you can make to your time management procedure is to take a big task, or goal, and break it down into smaller steps. This, then, takes an impossibly big job and puts it into perspective when you see the smaller steps through to completion. Here are some reasons why this works. It's actually more efficient, and easier, to complete several smaller, quicker steps towards a big goal. Whether it's a big goal that has finally reached completion, or one step towards a big project, the completion of any goal, or step, on your schedule gives you a good feeling. Smaller steps, or goals, are a lot less intimidating and it's much easier to finish them. What are the important things in your life that you want to do? Write them down on a piece of paper. If you prefer to type them into a word processor, that perfectly fine; however, actually writing them down on paper is more effective. Stick the paper in your pocket and when you feel your ambition start to falter, pull it out and refresh your memory about why this was an important task to accomplish. Goals, and tasks, that are written by hand have a more "real" and permanent feel to them as compared to something you simply type into your PC. Writing each word on paper gives the words a depth they don't have when you tap them out on your keyboard.
Planning for a day is only a start because both the week and the month ought to be part of your structure. Every single second of the month doesn't need to be planned out. It's good, though, to plan out the major things like when you check your email, when your deadlines are, etc. Once you have this all set up, it will only be a matter of viewing your calendar, and you will know your daily schedule. Once you have this schedule all set up, you will be able to train yourself to do certain things at certain times during the day.
As you discover more of the small steps you can take to develop a better time management program, you will find life becoming easier and less stressful. We've outlined a few of the steps that you can take in this article. Do some research and you will find many more strategies and tactics for taking better control of your time and staying on focus with your tasks. Just don't give up!

Lil' K.T.
Binds when picked up
Use: Teaches you how to summon this companion.
Cackles and occasionally freezes other critters. Additionally his head periodically detaches and spins around.
Vocalizations (on-click and periodic)
Freezes and kills nearby critters.
This pet is available for digital download exclusively from the Blizzard Store. It may be purchased using any major credit card. Players who purchase this pet will receive a code which may be redeemed on a single WoW account. Thus, players who have more than one WoW account bound to their Battle.net accounts must choose which account will receive this pet. Codes may also be purchased as gifts for other players. The pet is retrieved via an in-game mail from Kel'Thuzad.
Lil' K.T. is an excellent PvP companion, as he cackles at vanquished PvP foes. He also cackles when you down certain NPC bosses.
With that in mind, I'm loving the trend I'm seeing with vanity pets having more fun 'idle' animations (Grunty fighting a zergling, KT ice blocking/killing critters). My favorite pets are almost always the ones with entertaining idle animations.
Loving the Pet store already! I can see some pretty exclusive pets incoming! :D
He will not fetch a ball, be put on a leash, be fed pet snacks or a grooming kit. (I wanted him to be sparkley :( )
When he kills a critter not only do you hear the cute little evil laugh, but Big K.T's booming laugh as well!
He's a very well detailed pet, with buck teeth & large blue eyes!
Now if only Blizzard would give us that Lil' Rivendare we've always wanted...
I am not sure which is funnier (Wait... more funny... I always get it wrong)... Breanni's note or the in game mail I got when I got the companion. Both are equally cute and funny!
Instead of the character kneeling down with the mini-pet summon sound, the character summong Lil' K.T. casts a shadow spell (I.E. his hands flash purple-black like casting Shadowbolt or the Acherus Deathcharger)
I also noticed that the laugh he does when he kills a critter or the character kills a player is Lil' K.T. laughing in his kid voice, clearing his throat and letting forth good old Kel'thuzads manaiacal cackle!
Even one of my skeptical guild-mates who wasn't too keen on actually "buying" a pet from Blizzard had a change of heart on seeing the animations, sounds, ect that came from this pet.
And the laughing at other players, makes it even that much more fun to pull this little guy through battlegrounds.
EDIT: Please note this pet is now Bind on Pickup! No longer BoA: as of Patch 3.3.0a (as far as I can tell)
It's too bad he killes Bigglesworth to be honest! He shouldn't, he should hug it!
I had to have this guy once they introduced pet battles, so I dropped the $10, and annoyingly, no more than 3 days later, Blizz did a half off promotion for him :(
I'm disappointed that his Life Siphon doesn't scale very well as you level. At 20, it only returns about 50-80 HP per round, which doesn't do much of anything when you are getting hit for at least 150 HP by pretty much any pet around the same level. If it gave back 15-20% health, I think he'd be more effective.
No. that's the haunted memento that gives you that ghost that will follow you..not sure why people always downgrade comments that ask legitimate questions but it really irks me. I get sick of seeing honest inquiries get -whatever# just because people don't wanna take the time to be helpful or think everyone should just know something..whatever. -this too if you want,lol.
Like, O-M-G! I actually own a piece of *THE* Kel'Thuzad! *excitedly shrieks* Mr. Thuzad, if you're reading this, I'm like your biggest fan ever! My room is decked out in wall-to-wall K.T. posters and I listen to your music whenever I go questing! Oh, and I even dressed up at the last KT-Con! I was a Guardian of Icecrown (sorry about the Blood Tap incident). And now you sent me this, the jewel of my K.T. collection — a little you! SQUEEEEEEE!!! *faints*

Pairing a stylish exterior with Etxeondo's typical attention to detail, the Etxeondo Dir Jacket is an interesting alternative to the more mainstream cold weather cycling jackets.Constructed from Gore Windstopper with a fleece lined Thermolite inner, the Dir excels in the sort of cold, blustery conditions usually prevalent in the winter and early spring months.

Erik Larson, bestselling author of The Devil in White City, has done it again with his highly readable, nonfiction narrative of an unassuming college professor who becomes the first U. S. ambassador to Germany. In 1933, William E. Dodd brings his wife and two adult children to Berlin at the beginning of Hitler's rise to power. While his daughter, Martha, is enjoying the extravagant parties of high society and the attention of several handsome young men of the Third Reich, Dodd and his wife struggle to fit in with the more influential members of Germany's political spectrum. As the horror of Hitler's violence and murderous acts reveal more and more of his true character and intent, Dodd watches in alarm as the State Department continues business as usual– with indifference. In the Garden of Beasts offers a rare, eyewitness account of the unfolding events leading up to the world's second great war. It pulls back the veil of incomprehensibility as to how such an evil man was left officially unopposed until Europe was awash in blood and terror.
Fascinating read!
