Top 10 Most Popular Memes
Since memes only just recently began their hillariousity online (and by recently I mean since 2010), they don't really have a standard format. The two most popular kinds are the cartoon faces usually at the end of mini-comics that are always super relatable, and animals inside different color pinwheels. Of course there's the occasional political/newsworthy ones like the Casually Pepper-Spraying Everyone Cop that came out of the Occupy movement last November, but for the most part these quickly-created gems are for LOL-purposes only.
10. Joseph Ducreux/Archaic Rap Guy
Usually these require too much reading to be worth the final laugh, but the shorter versions are always funny, especially if you're a Monty Python kind of dork. Joseph Ducreux was an eighteenth century French artist who somehow became the face of reinterpreting rap lyrics into Shakespearean-like language. This one is a classier version of "It's getting hot in here, so take off all your clothes."
9. Asian Dad with High Expectations
Probably not too funny for people with dads like this one, this kind of meme is usually at least a little racist with improper English and bad driving jokes. We all know those poor souls who push themselves too hard because that's what their parents expect of them, but at least here it's ridiculous and hilarious at the same time.
8. Poker Face
One of those cartoon faces I mentioned earlier that obviously took less than two seconds to draw, this little guy without an expression gives us at least one way out of overly embarrassing situations. He's always at the end of one of those mini-comics about super normal situations that we've all to poker-face our way out of.
7. Xzibit
The host of MTV's Pimp My Ride, Xzibit is mostly just known for saying "Yo Dawg" all the time thanks to this meme. Paired with wordings of silly ways to pimp things out, the funniest thing about it is his goofy smile. There are more recent ones now of just his floating head over cars, and of course the one with his serious face that no one can take too seriously.
6. Overly-Possessive Girlfriend
The kind of girlfriend no one wants but everyone wants to make fun of. But hey, she deserves it. Her face is just precious – super excited and unassuming, but you know she's definitely not the brightest crayon in the box. Especially since she doesn't seem to have any other people to stalk besides her one true love.
5. Socially Awkward Penguin
For all those who never feel popular enough, this meme at least makes it seem like a universal struggle to be cool, calm, and collected. I have no clue why a penguin was chosen to represent this idea of social awkwardness, but they're definitely not the animal at the aquarium that people go to see.
4. Bear Grylls
From Discovery Channel's show Man vs. Wild, Bear Grylls got famous for doing anything to survive, including drinking his own piss. The internet must have thought that was just hilarious, especially when you know, it's a TV show so he has cameramen and a way of getting out of doing ridiculous stuff like this. But he does it anyways because he's got to inform the public in case any of us end up without water stranded in the Alps. The first thing to do is drink your own piss.
3. Pedobear
Probably the creepiest cartoon of all time, Pedobear gets photoshopped into any image where it might be funny for little kids to get hit on. Which is actually a really horrifying concept when you think about it, but this lil' bear is just for laughs – no real pervs allowed.
2. Philosoraptor
Complete with multiple Twitter account (the funniest one being @QuestionsOnLife), the Philosoraptor questions everything that either doesn't make sense in the first place or is just something really funny to wonder about. He originated on a t-shirt and is now an online sensation with more than 152,000 followers.
1. Forever Alone
Another one of those cartoons at the end of comics, Forever Alone relates to all of us which is why it has thousands of different versions and takes the cake at number one. Although being alone is a pretty serious fear for most people, making light of situations is the job of the meme, and this one gets it done with a gross potato head and teary eyes. His non-comic memes are even more hilarious, especially since there's usually less reading and ugly stick characters to deal with. Anyone who ever feels alone can take solace in the fact that their face probably doesn't look like this guy's.

I've been lurking for a few months and figured I might as well introduce myself =)
I'm from New Rochelle, NY, currently living in White Plains, NY, and i'm a computer geek^H^H^H^Hprogrammer.
I've ridden bikes since I was very young - when I was a teenager I was in to mountain biking, not racing or for exercise, but simply because I loved the satisfaction of finding my way to the top of a trail and the reward of getting to go back down...Unfortunately when I hit college, I stopped riding.
10 years later, I'm back, I've bought a road bike, and I'm totally stoked to be riding again! I've also joined a gym and I've been weight training 2times/week, which feels great, but I've got a lot of work to do endurance wise. So far my longest ride has been only 17miles, but I'm hoping some roller training over the winter will help me start the spring season with a bang!
Anyway, I'm glad to be here, and I've already learned a whole lot just keeping up with the Road Cycling forum.
See ya 'round!

As Super Bowl XLVII approaches, many of Hip Hop's luminaries have weighed in on the game, which will feature the San Francisco 49ers battling the Baltimore Ravens.
"You know the Baltimore Ravens are gonna win that joint," Pusha T said to MTV News. "[Baltimore Ravens linebacker] Ray Lewis is saying he's going to retire [and] I think he brings a lot of energy to the whole National Football League, and what better way for him to go out?"
T.I. echoed a similar sentiment. "[Ray Lewis] showed that he deserves to be called the champion. So I think that's how he's going to go out."
Surprisingly, Pittsburgh native Mac Miller also chose the Ravens to go all the way. "The Ravens are like our sworn enemies," said Miller, a Pittsburgh Steelers fan. "Ray Lewis, you are born in Pittsburgh hating Ray Lewis. The Niners? They had a great season, they deserve the Super Bowl, but if the Niners win, they have just as many Super Bowls as [the Steelers]; and I don't want the Niners to get that. So I guess I'm cool with having the Ravens win it."
A$AP Rocky was also in the Ravens' corner, though for an unusual reason. "They've got a team member called Flacco," said Rocky laughing, noting the similarity between quarterback Joe Flacco's last name and the rapper's nickname "Pretty Flacko."
Not everyone was willing to make a selection, however. "My team's not in it," said Lil Wayne. "So I ain't trippin.'"
Watch the interview below:
Recently, Dr. Dre picked the Baltimore Ravens to win it all as well, further increasing the contingent of Hip Hop artists in the Ravens' corner for this Sunday's (February 3rd) game, which airs at 6:30 PM.

Gallic helmer Cedric Klapisch stays well within his comfort zone in every sense with "Paris."
Gallic helmer Cedric Klapisch ("L'Auberge espagnole") stays well within his comfort zone in every sense with "Paris." Likeable if hardly groundbreaking dramedy features most of Klapisch's favorite elements, including romantic angst, crisscrossing storylines, thesp Romain Duris (leading a big-name ensemble that includes Juliette Binoche) and the real star of the show, the City of Lights itself. Locally well-reviewed, "Paris" has done capital biz since its Feb. 20 preem with nearly 5,000 admissions on its first day. Pic is likely to travel extensively and make at least middling moolah offshore.At the front and center of the action stands Pierre (Duris, on his sixth joint venture with Klapisch), a professional chorus dancer at a cheesy Parisian cabaret spot. Forced to quit work when he finds out he has a potentially fatal heart problem, Pierre turns to his social-worker sister Elise (Binoche, boldly going frumpy) for help at home. In his now-abundant spare time, Pierre rethinks life's priorities and stares out at the city he loves from his balcony, often to the strains of Eric Satie's melancholy (if cinematically overexposed "Gnossiennes No. 3." Pierre and Elise intersect with a broad spectrum of characters: Single mother Elise flirts tentatively with local market stallholder Jean (Albert Dupontel), who has complex feelings about his own ex-wife, Caroline (Julie Ferrier). Jean and Caroline's working-class milieu balances the film's focus on middle-class and posh people elsewhere, and allows for impressive location work at Rungis, Paris' massive wholesale food market. In fact, pic's rapturous use of the city's best-known landmarks — Montmartre's Sacre-Coeur basilica, cemetery Pere Lachaise and, naturellement, the Eiffel Tower — in some ways suggests a loose homage to "Manhattan" (Klapisch apparently wrote his master's thesis on Woody Allen). As in the latter film, there's even an ill-fated May-December affair, between university professor Roland (Fabrice Luchini, in wonderful comic form) and his student Laetitia (Melanie Laurent), who also becomes the object of Pierre's own voyeuristic lust. Screenplay often feels jerry-rigged to enable the pic's big setpieces (such as a dance party for Pierre during which Duris struts his stuff convincingly) and cameos for yet more stars (Karin Viard as a loathsome bakery owner, Maurice Benichou as Roland's shrink). Nevertheless, auds who like upmarket soap opera, sightseeing and Gallic films where people talk a lot about their relationships will be consistently entertained. While many of the supporting characters are quickly sketched types there to pad out pic's demographics, the leads are in fine form. Duris rewards Klapisch's earlier career nurturing with a nuanced perf, even if his character isn't vastly different from the wolfish charmer he played in "L'Auberge espagnole" and its sequel, "Russian Dolls." Binoche shows off her rarely seen comic skills and, like Duris, gets a charming scene in which her dancing succinctly expresses much about her character, although Luchini's own hilarious-yet-graceful gyrations steal the show. Christophe Beaucarne's widescreen lensing looks postcard-pretty, and other craft contributions are pro. Running time feels a little long for a pic that ultimately doesn't have anything very profound to say, but crisp editing by Francine Sandberg keeps it from feeling like a drag.

Hi All,
it's been a while since I posted a map as "complete", but I just finished something that I worked on - on and off - for about three years or so. Longer, if you consider that this is really based on material I created back in the 1990s.
Anyway, the important part first - The map, which I had to scale down:
Some cropped sections at original resolution:
This map is a depiction of my science-fiction universe, which will be used for RPGs, fiction, and the like. It takes inspiration from many different science fiction sources (observant reviewers will note a big influence of H. Beam Piper on my naming scheme). The setting itself unfortunately does not yet exist in presentable form, but let's take one step at a time.
The map's creation was fairly complex, at least for my standards. Originally, I used a NASA illustration of the Milky Way Galaxy, but modified it beyond recognition. The resolution was also not nearly high enough to use it as a backdrop for a local map, so I enlarged it to insane proportions and then manually created a more detailed section for the Orion Spur. In theory I can do the same for other areas, until the Milky Way is all mapped out, but I doubt I will live long enough...
The bitmap background was created in GIMP, all labeling and the composition was done in Inkscape. The map is DIN A1 at 200 dpi, which works out to 6622x4677 pixels. It's 72MB in size, mostly because of the noisy background - I wanted it to look like those slightly grainy images we all know from NASA's various projects. As a side note, there are about 430 named star systems on this map.
I picked up a smaller test print today, (bad) photos of that can be found here: http://goo.gl/YHyV0
I ordered my A1 poster, and I can't wait to see how that turns out.
Finally, I've put up a post on my blog showing the various stages of the starmap: http://goo.gl/LjOOs
As you can imagine, I feel like I just got a major project done, even if it's just one small step in the universe creation process... :-)
Best wishes,
- Nils

Childbirth Prep Classes at Kaiser
|Questions & Advice
|Related Pages
I am currently registered for a Childbirth Preparation class at Kaiser in Oakland, for two consecutive Saturdays, and I just realized from reading the class registration form that it is not a Lamaze or Bradley method of childbirth preparation. Has anyone taken this Kaiser class? If so, how was your experience? Would you recommend it to others? Or would you rather have taken a Lamaze or Bradley class - either instead or concurrently? I now realize that I should have researched this Kaiser class more in depth before signing up because I am interested in, and accordingly seeking a program, that focuses on non-medicated, ''natural'' childbirth preparation. If necessary, I am willing to take either a Lamaze or Bradley class in conjunction with, or additional to, the Kaiser class. Any advice on this? Thanks! anon
Re: Birthways vs. Kaiser for childbirth prep class
My husband and I are Kaiser members, and we took both the Kaiser classes (free) and a 10 week Bradley Method class with Sabine Henrie in Berkeley (http://www.teachstreet.com/teacher/sabine-henrie). The two experiences were like night and day. The Kaiser class skims the surface. I still think you should take those classes, because if you are going to give birth at Kaiser, that will give you some insight into the ''Kaiser'' approach to birth, but the Bradley Method classes we took were amazing and full of so much rich information, not only on preparation for birth, pain management, possible drugs, possible positions, but also all the emotional issues that come up between you and your partner, nursing issues, caring for your newborn, resources, etc. etc. It was really amazing and so was our teacher. It is not just for people who want a ''drug-free'' birth, because all the preparation you do will help you if you are in a situation where it is too early for medication. With the classes we both felt more more emotionally prepared and educated to make decisions for ourselves. I was going to go drug-free, but with unforeseen complications, I was able to navigate my way through a myriad of issues without freaking out or giving in to the pressures of more stronger medication/cesarean. Contact me if you want to talk more. Elisabeth
I liked that Birthways had smaller classes and wasn't associated with a hospital. Because the teachers are doulas, they have experience with local hospitals and can tell you what are common practices but also what your options are. I also felt that I was treated as an individual with my own hopes/fears for my birth experience, which I didn't feel at Kaiser. There was a lot of information on the physical aspects of birth, medical practices and questions to ask at the hospital, and a range of coping strategies. I felt like the class emphasized supporting drug-and intervention-free births, which is something I wanted. The class at Birhways definitely eased my fears about birth and gave me overall positive feelings about the entire process. And I absolutely used some of the techniques I learned during my labor. Laura
I agree that the class doesn't go into a lot of detail on pain management, if you want a drug-free birth it's worth investing in a class that focuses on that or in a doula. I'm surprised by the number of negative responses to the class - I have to think that the quality must vary by the teacher/facility - so may be hard to predict in advance what you'll get? I never felt pressured to take the Kaiser class - but due to poor planning on my part didn't have any (affordable) alternatives.
One option would be to do a non-Kaiser birth class and take the labor and delivery tour at the facility in which you're delivering. The L&D tour is free and covers the logistics of how the hospital works and things like when you should call/come in (ended up working well for me as a refresher for #2), which are important details to be comfortable with before you go into labor. Kaiser's not so bad
Re: Birthing class for natural labor at Kaiser
I delivered at KP Oakland in March and took both the KP birthing class and one through Birthways. I actually found that the KP birthing class was wonderful. The instructor was very knowledgeable, thorough, and engaging. The Birthways class was not bad, but in retrospect we would have been fine with just the KP class (we took the 2 Saturday Mornings option at Kaiser and the short option at Birthways).
Neither class promoted any single ''method'' and both classes were very pro-natural birth. The Birthways class was a tad more in depth (because it was a tad longer) but there was nothing very different presented. I think the classes were important 1) for me to be comfortable with what was going to happen with my body 2) for my partner to learn the techniques and 3) for my partner to learn how I respond to pain and soothing. Both classes did this. I remembered very little of what we learned during labor - it was my partner that remembered a lot of the breathing techniques (with some help from our doula). So for us it was important to choose a class/classes that had a format that my partner could digest and that would make me feel comfortable.
Also, the Birthways class included a breastfeeding day, but I found the KP breastfeeding class (offered separately) more thorough.
Good luck! Kaiser Mom
I am expecting 12/29 and have been taking lots of classes from Kaiser Hayward. They have a free, 6-week, rotating series of drop-in classes with a variety of instructors (Labor & Delivery, Breast Feeding Basics, Breast Feeding & The Working Mom, Cesarean Delivery & Pain Medication, Adjusting to Parenthood, New Baby Care). Also offered is a $40, 6-week Childbirth Preparation (formerly known as Lamaze) class taught by Sylvia Boyd and finally a free, Now the Cord Is Cut class that they schedule for you like an appointment. The Heath Education Center phone is 510/784-4531.
My advice is the more knowledge/classes the better. I had heard negative things about the Childbirth Preparation instructor and we almost didn't take the class, but I am glad we did. I learn something new and valuable every time. I am also glad I am taking classes with my husband because then we have the same knowledge base as opposed to me reading books and passing on things to him. Good luck!
The best part of the class was that Roseann had her graduates from her last class come & tell us their birth stories on our last night -- very interesting & helpful. Then, we got to come back for her next class & have a reunion with our classmates, hear their birth stories, & tell ours. That was great. Overall, I thought it was helpful. Roseanne did miss one class, & someone else whose name I can't remember was a substitute & she was awful. Good luck!
We just finished our childbirth prep classes at Kaiser in Oakland and had a good experience. The instructor we had was Karin Hannula. I was pleased because she tailored the class to meet the needs of the couples. She spent time talking with us to find out what kind of birth we wanted and then gave us the information to achieve that, but also all the information about other options that may come up. She seems very experienced... I suspect she assists with births on the side because she has lots of stories. She is also very familiar with the Kaiser system and the dr's who do the deliveries. She also gives lots of good advice... like "ask the dr to leave the room and then ask the nurses their opinions before you make any decisions." One of the best things was that she had a class from early in the fall come in and give "testimonials" one night. It was good to hear how things ended up with other couples, and to hear about the Alta Bates experience. I do recommend the class... you can't beat the $40 fee. Also, just to let you know, when we went to the Baby Care class at Kaiser, one of the hand outs was a list of about a dozen places that offer Childbirth Classes. Rose

Ahh. I've seen formal definitions for this in terms of assymetric properties. Non-symmetric is new to me and seems awfully close to "not symmetric." It's not worth getting into quibbles over. I'll take your word for it.

The C-Tran Board of Directors on Tuesday advanced a proposal that could equip the agency's vehicles with a new electronic fare system.
The board approved an agreement with TriMet and Portland Streetcar, setting the stage for the entities to integrate their fare collection with similar technology. The effort centers around a concept that would allow riders to pay with special electronic cards, and install mobile data terminals and wireless communication capability on buses. C-Tran hopes the system will make fare collections more efficient for the agency and more convenient for riders.
Not all board members were sold on the idea Tuesday. Clark County Commissioner David Madore, attending his first C-Tran meeting as a board member, asked to delay action on the system. Madore said the agency would benefit from more study to make sure the concept serves customers and accomplishes C-Tran's mission.
While the agreement doesn't require a direct financial commitment from C-Tran, Madore said, "We are investing staff time in this."
Madore moved to put off the agreement until at least next month. But only two other board members agreed with him, resulting in a failed motion. A majority of the board approved the agreement soon after.
C-Tran public affairs director Scott Patterson noted the nonbinding agreement approved Tuesday doesn't commit the agency to the new system. Any party could withdraw from the agreement with 30 days' notice. And actually pulling the trigger on the new fare system would require further board action, Patterson said.
C-Tran has budgeted $2.7 million for the project, to go with $3.3 million in grant money. But TriMet alone is paying for the initial planning phase of the project, according to C-Tran.
C-Tran Executive Director Jeff Hamm estimated roughly 80 percent of riders have pre-paid passes when they board a bus now. The other 20 percent pay fares at the door. C-Tran's current on-board fareboxes accept cash only, and drivers can't give change back.
Ganley named board chairman
Near the end of Tuesday's meeting, members named Battle Ground City Councilor Bill Ganley as board chairman for 2013 — just a day after it remained unclear whether Ganley would take his seat on the board at all.
Ganley represents Battle Ground and Yacolt on the board, and must be approved by both cities each year, as he has since joining the board in 1998. This year seemed to be no different, until Yacolt rescinded its endorsement of Ganley in a letter to C-Tran on Dec. 18. Instead, the Yacolt Town Council nominated its own Lewis Gerhardt.
Having the two municipalities pick two different people could have left the seat vacant until they agreed on who should fill it. But Monday, Yacolt again reversed course and re-confirmed Ganley. Gerhardt will serve as Ganley's alternate on the nine-member board.
Ganley's election as chairman was unanimous.
"I think that Bill Ganley would do a great job," Madore said.
The board named Clark County Commissioner Steve Stuart as vice chairman.
CRC discussion
In later discussion, Madore called for a "two-way" conversation on the Columbia River Crossing, including the implications of last year's election. In November, voters rejected a sales tax hike that would have helped pay for light rail planned as part of the $3.5 billion Interstate 5 Bridge replacement.
Vancouver City Councilor Larry Smith said the topic is likely to come up during a board workshop meeting set for February.

The Seahawks have become not only a serious contender on the field but a reference point in today's NFL coaching and executive ranks.
INDIANAPOLIS — "We want to improve competition at every single position."
Sound familiar? It should. Pete Carroll has been reciting that chorus from that overcast January day when he stepped on stage as the Seahawks' new head coach.
Except Carroll didn't say those words. At least not on Thursday. It was John Idzik, the new Jets GM at the podium explaining what has become the Jets' mantra.
"Competition is at the very heart of what we do in the National Football League," Idzik said. "I don't think it's unique to one team, one individual. It's thrown around lightly, but you really have to ingrain it in everything you do."

It's the first of several signs the Seahawks have become not only a bona fide contender, but a reference point in today's NFL. The Jets found their new GM working as a vice president in Seattle's front office. The Jaguars found their new coach, Gus Bradley, on Pete Carroll's defense staff. And, in his fourth year with the Seahawks, general manager John Schneider is now being asked for his opinions of fellow executives like former boss Ted Thompson in Green Bay as well as former co-workers like Oakland's Reggie McKenzie and Kansas City's John Dorsey.
Schneider attracted a crowd of reporters when he appeared in the media room at the league's annual scouting combine in the early afternoon, the interview beginning with multiple questions about whether he expected Russell Wilson to be this good. And Schneider certainly hoped he would be, but had no idea it would be this soon.
"To say that I thought he was going to do everything he did, I'd be lying," Schneider said.
Things have changed quite a bit since last April when the Seahawks were deemed clueless by many who thought Seattle had taken defensive end Bruce Irvin a full round earlier than they had to and followed that up by picking a quarterback who was too short to stand out in the NFL.
Seattle is looking pretty rosy compared to the rest of the NFL right about now. The Seahawks have one of the youngest rosters, they're coming off a year in which they picked three of the league's top 20 rookies and they hold 10 picks in April's draft, second-most of any team.
Other teams are wrestling this week with the question of whether they will apply the franchise tag to a player who would otherwise become an unrestricted free agent. The Seahawks won't have to use the tag, the third consecutive year they've avoided it.
The only real uncertainty on the current roster involves backup quarterback Matt Flynn and whether he might be traded. With only two starters from last year's team unsigned for 2013, Schneider was asked if the current makeup of the roster changes how the team will approach this year's draft.
"We rate for our team, we don't grade for the league," Schneider said. "We grade a guy based on whether or not he can compete with Bruce Irvin or Malcolm (Smith) or Bobby (Wagner)."
There's certainly room for improvement.
Top pass rusher Chris Clemons is trying to come back from knee surgery, the team has four different guards who were starters at different points last season and the team could always use a few more targets for Wilson to throw to.
But as the league's offseason began in earnest in Indianapolis on Thursday, it became clear that other teams have looked to Seattle to find a path to success. That's why Bradley is coaching the Jaguars and Idzik is in charge of the Jets.
Meanwhile, Seattle's general manager was worried that his quarterback might be working not too well but too hard after a rookie season in which he led his team to the second round of the playoffs, went to the Pro Bowl and then attended the Super Bowl only to come back to work the following Monday.
"I was like, 'Man, you've got to take some vacation,' " Schneider said. " 'You need to get away a little bit.' I guess he was in there working yesterday, so I don't know."

For the development of salinity tolerant okra breeding material,
studies were undertaken on the assessment of genetic variability for
salinity tolerance in the available okra germplasm at the seedling
stage, assessment of genetic diversity with molecular makers,
responses of the selected tolerant and non-tolerant genotypes to
salinity stress during ontogeny of the whole plant in summer and
spring seasons and genetic basis of variation for salinity
tolerance. Substantial variation appeared to exist in okra for
salinity tolerance at the seedling stage. The 80 mM NaCl
concentration was found suitable for discriminating tolerant and non
tolerant okra genotypes because many genotypes failed to germinate
at higher NaCl concentrations and maximum variation among the
genotypes appeared at this concentration. The pooled ranking of the
genotypes, based on their individual rankings for each trait in
single NaCl concentration appeared effective for selecting tolerant
genotypes. Twenty RAPD primers were used to analyze the genetic
diversity among the okra germplasm, which showed considerable
polymorphism in the okra genotypes. The cluster analysis divided the
39 okra genotypes into seven main clusters with maximum similarity
of 82.88% between Sabzpari 2001 and Acc.No.019221. The genotypes
selected at the seedling stage for salinity tolerance maintained
their tolerance to NaCl during the ontogeny of whole plant. This
suggested that the screening of the germplasm accessions and
breeding material for salt tolerance at the seedling stage is
effective, at least for initial selection. The NCM II analysis was
carried out to estimate components of genetic variation in okra
genotypes. The inheritance of salinity tolerance in okra at seedling
stage appeared to be governed by both additive and non additive
genetic effects. The additive effects were predominant and narrow
sense heritability was moderate. It is concluded that the genetic
variation for tolerance to NaCl salinity existed among the okra
genotypes, which had considerable heritable component and,
therefore, genetic improvement of okra genotypes for salinity
tolerance through breeding and recurrent selection is possible.

Game shows are a genre of television which arent necessarily the most popular at the moment. Well, ABC is about to change all of that by bringing back one of the most classic game shows of all time.
It's usually a good sign for a TV series when the network opts to renew it before its first season airs. At the very least, it shows said network's faith that the show will be successful. We were just talking about this last month when Netflix announced that they were already up for another season of Jenji Kohan's new series Orange is the New Black, though they had yet to debut the first season. And this week, GSN offered similar treatment to their upcoming new quiz show The Chase, which won't premiere until August but is now being chased into a second season.
Next week Drew Careys new improv-comedy show Drew Careys Improv-a-Ganza is set to premiere on GSN. Charlie Sheen will make an appearance on Tuesdays episode and we have a teaser featuring the former Two and a Half Men star for you to check out.
I dont know about you but I can could do with a good laugh, which is why these videos for Drew Careys Improv-a-Ganza couldnt have arrived at a better time. Next week, the show will begin but you can catch a few looks at Carey and his comedy friends in these clips.
The show is entitled Drew Careys Improv-A-Ganza, and it features many of the old standbys most have come to associate with improvisation. That includes but is not limited to: Ryan Stiles, Colin Mochrie, Greg Proops, Brad Sherwood, Chip Esten, Wayne Brady, Carey himself, and of course, Charlie Sheen. Wait what?

Dickson City Crime Watch selects 2013 leadership
DICKSON CITY - The borough's Crime Watch met to reorganize and refocus Tuesday, after two longtime leaders stepped down last year.
The group of about 30 audience members engaged in discussions with the group's new officers about how to continue providing information to the community and increasing attendance. Newly appointed secretary Police Chief William Bilinski led much of the discussion, which covered borough concerns, requests for more officers to attend meetings and become familiar with residents and law enforcement questions.
"The best offense we can have is you," Chief Bilinski said to the audience. "You are our eyes and ears."
He will serve alongside treasurer Jack Horvath, who also serves as a borough councilman, and new President Ed Zitterman, 78, who was born and raised in Dickson City.
The Crime Watch will meet on Feb. 19 and hear the state of the borough address from council President Barbara Mecca.

Even if the government was hoping to get a bit of time before it took a decision on cutting petroleum under-recoveriesR1.6 lakh crore in FY13 and R1.4 lakh crore in FY14the situation in Iraq will make it more difficult as oil prices will continue to rise. More important, as this newspaper highlighted on Tuesday, there is a pending ONGC bill of R10,000 crore to Gujaratthe PMs home statethat needs settling and, more worrying, this could be a precedent for other state governments like Assam to make similar claims. Since the Gujarat government is pressing for an early resolution on the matter, the Central petroleum minister may not be able to postpone a resolution for too long; more important, a settlement is only fair and in keeping with prime minister Modis promise of cooperative federalism.
The claim itself is easy to explain, though unfortunate. In the past, like other oil companies, ONGC paid the Gujarat government royalties based on the price of the oil. What complicated matters, however, was that, as the levels of subsidies rose, the Centre found it was more convenient to pass on the burden to oil PSUs such as ONGC. As ONGC was getting paid a smaller amountit got $32.78 per barrel in Q4 FY14 versus the market price of $106.65 per barrelit found it was paying royalties based on the sticker price out of its pocket. The Central government then allowed it to pay royalties to the states based on the net price it got. Needless to say, Gujarat argued that ONGC bearing the Centres burden was not its problem, and it won the case in the High Court. While the case is still in the Supreme Court, in the Fiat case, the Court had ruled excise duties had to be paid on the real price and could not be lowered just because the company was offering discounts to buyersapply the same logic to ONGC, and it just has to pay Gujarat.
The problem, however, is that ONGC doesnt have the money to pay the state and, more important, it is not to blame for the problem, the Centre islogically, therefore, the Centre has to foot the bill. While finding R10,000 crore will be problem enough, it is clear ONGC will have to pay states based on the market price in future, not its net realisations. In which case, the government will have to either cut subsidies sharply

Events in history can either extend over an interval of time (extended events), or be instantaneous (point events). A good example of a point event is the achievement of Indian independence at midnight in New Delhi, 14/15 August 1947.
Another type of point event is the midnight common to two consecutive days. At least, this is the common usage, and our analysis ought to accept it. In spite of having an instant in common, it is always considered that the first day is earlier than the second. This, too, should be taken into account.
Whatever definition is adopted for one event to be 'earlier than' another, if two events have a stretch of time in common, then neither of them can be said to be earlier than the other. In this case we shall not obtain a linear sequence of events ordered by 'earlier than', however much we know about their dating. By breaking the events down into shorter events it may be possible to obtain a linear sequence, but we do not always have sufficient information to do this. Hence a set of events will often be only partially ordered by the relation 'earlier than'.
Underlying our concept of historical events is the linear sequence of time. Time is measured by clocks, whose different settings in different time zones are well understood. Behind these different settings there is only the one time line, corresponding to times represented by real numbers (see also a technical note on the real time line).
One final preliminary point is that extended historical events seem to require both end points to be included. A single day is a good example of this. So although it would be possible to consider events with one or both end points omitted, this will not be done here.
The logical structure we require, then, for a practical system of relative dating, is an ordering by the an appropriate relation 'earlier than', involving both point events and extended events, where extended events include both end points. This structure is provided by a mathematical structure giving a suitable partial ordering of any set of such events.
An appropriate definition of an event a being earlier than an eventb is that either a ends before b begins,or a, b are both extended events and a ends at the same time that b begins.
The two basic results of this definition are, (1) If event a is earlier than event b, and b is earlier than event c, then a is earlier than c. (2) No event is earlier than itself. (So things are as they should be.)
(Properties (1), (2) are precisely those needed to give a partial order in the technical mathematical sense.)
Now imagine that we have two events a, b such that a is earlier than b, and b is earlier than a. This is certainly not possible in reality, but is it possible in our system? The answer is No, because (1) now entails that a is earlier than itself, which is forbidden by (2).
In exactly the same way, we find that the system does not allow us to have a closed sequence of events a, b, c, ... , a, such that each event in the sequence is earlier than the next one. Such a sequence is called a 'circuit'.
Suppose three events a, b, c are such that a is earlier thanb and c, and b is earlier than c. This is what we mean by saying that the three events are 'linearly ordered' (or, that they form a 'chain'). The events can then conveniently be arranged in a diagram:
Fig.1 o--->---o--->---o. a b c
It is not necessary to include a line for the ordering 'a is earlier than c', and such lines are always omitted.
If we do not know anything about the relative ordering of the eventsb, c, then the diagram becomes something like:
a o /\ Fig.2 / \ b o o c
where the arrows have been omitted (although we need to know that earlier is at the top in this particular diagram).
If we start with a diagram instead of with the orderings of events, then provided the diagram has no circuits, it will represent correctly the ordering of the events in it.
With events as in Fig.2, if we later discover that b is earlier than c, then we have the ordering given by the diagram in Fig.1. It might turn out, however, that c is earlier than b, which gives a different chain of events.
It is always the case that a partially ordered set can become a chain by adding orderings. In our case, this is meaningful only if the events do not overlap.
The Gospels of Matthew (chap.2) and Luke (2:1-39) describe different events connected with the birth of Jesus, some of which we shall consider. It is possible to get very close to a linear ordering. Let events be labelled as follows:
=========================================================== b: birth of Jesus Matthew Luke ----------------------------------------------------------- m: visit of the Magi s: visit of the shepherds f: flight to Egypt p: presentation in Jerusalem r: return to Israel n': return to Nazareth n: settlement in Nazareth ============================================================
(where n' might be the same as n). From this data the events are immediately ordered as:
m f r n o------o------o------o / b o ---> time \ o------o------o s p n'
If we decide that s is earlier than m, p earlier than f, and that n' is the same as n (each of them possible decisions), we obtain the diagram:
m o /\ / \ / \ o------o---o--o------o------o b s p f r n
There are then two possibilities for the relative dating of the Magi's visit (between s,p or between p,f). (This example is modified from my book,"We Have Seen His Star", TRACI, New Delhi, 1983.
Three different opinions will be noted on the relative dating of the periods of composition, or periods of activity, of the following works and authors:
================================================= g : Govindasvâmin (9th cent AD) j : astrological Jaimini Sûtras jv: vedic Jaimini pv: vedic Parâsara p : Brihat Parâsara Horâ Sâstra [BHPS] (p1: BHPS, Part I) (p2: BHPS, Part II) r : Rig Veda s : Sârâvali (7th or 8th cent AD) v : Varâhamihira (6th cent AD) =================================================
(The letters will also be used to refer to the works and authors themselves.)
The traditional view of Indian astrology gives the following order:
r o \ v o----o----o ---> time / s g o-----o pv,p jv,j (Strictly speaking, pv o - and similarly for jv,j, the events pv, p _/ \_ but the diagram has should appear as - \ / been simplified.) p o
Professor David Pingree (The Yavana Jâtaka of Sphujidhvaja, Harvard Oriental Series 48, 1978, Vol.II, p. 448) argues for a different ordering. He points out that p1 uses v and contains a verse of s in a different order, while p2 is commented on by g and mentions that p1 exists. His relative dating scheme for these particular events is, in simple terms:
s o / v o---o---o---o p1 p2 g
My own view (Hindu Astrology: Myths, Symbols and Realities, Select Books, New Delhi, 1981, p.80 [with a diagram]) is different from both:
s r --o-- o / \ \ / \ v o---o--o---o / \ p2 g /p1 o-----o \ / pv jv --o-- j
This is mainly because j contains late elements, and the extant p1 is a compilation of much of the horoscopic astrology existing before recent times.
(As an alternative to using diagrams, the relative dating of a set of events may be expressed using an algebraic method.)

Cameron Diaz could you stop looking so impossibly hot please?
The actress has been showing off her amazing body again, this time for a feature in Harper's Bazaar magazine, in which she also revealed her secret celebrity crush.
Cam - who is celebrating turning 40 this year - admitted she's got the hots for Colin Firth as she has a bit of a thing for British men.
"Colin Firth is the perfect Englishman," she said. "Just enough of the self-effacing to a point that it's comfortable for other people, but also totally charming and engaging to where he makes you feel special. He's got that British honesty."
She added: 'I love London. I love the Brits, I always have. I have a weak spot for them. I grew up on Monty Python. I love Little Britain. My grandfather used to watch Benny Hill all the time."
Cameron, you're welcome over ours for a good old British brew and a choccie digestive anytime love.
The full feature appears in the June issue of Harper's Bazaar UK, on sale Thursday 3rd May 2012.

Any how I shot a coyote last October it blew a chunk of meat out of its chest. I also shot a Rabit . Now that I think about it. It didn't do as much damage to the rabit as did a 55gr V-Max out of a 223.Never the less it was dead on the spot, I used its corps as an atractent for the coyote.

A team of experts from IIT Madras and Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board officials have begun inspecting the Copper smelter unit of Sterlite Industries
The committee made on-the-spot assessments in the heat-up process in the smelter, sulphuric acid plant and air monitoring system and also took note of data recorded in the system, they said. The team, which began their inspection yesterday, would pay a visit again on Friday when the plant reaches full capacity to assess the amount of sulphur di oxide being let out and submit its report on Apr 29, they said.
The gas leak caused mild suffocation, sore throat and eye irritation to several people in the locality. On Mar 30 TNPCB ordered closure of the Vedanta group company. However Sterlite Industries moved the National Green Tribunal on April 1 challenging the order, saying it had been passed without giving an opportunity to them. The Anti-Sterlite Unit agitation Committee had also launched a series of agitations against the plant and shops in the town remained closed for a day following a call from the committe.
The Supreme Court had on Apr 2 asked Sterlite Industries to pay Rs 100 crore as compensation for polluting the environment through its plant and to pay the amount over three months from that day to the District Collector of Tuticorin. The tribunal appointed a four member committee on Apr 18 to inspect the factory to undertake a study of the plant and submit a report on Apr 29. The committee is led by IIT Professors T S T Sai and Leigib Philip. They are being assisted by Sterlite General Manager(Health,Safety,Environment) A Sumathi, Additional Chief Engineer of Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board Mohan Naidu.
Sterlite Ind stock price
On August 26, -, Sterlite Industries (India) closed at Rs 90.20, up Rs 2.45, or 2.79 percent. The 52-week high of the share was Rs and the 52-week low was Rs .
The company's trailing 12-month (TTM) EPS was at Rs 5.22 per share as per the quarter ended June 2013. The stock's price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio was 17.28. The latest book value of the company is Rs 76.05 per share. At current value, the price-to-book value of the company is 1.19.

The Shifts and the Shocksby Martin Wolf
From the chief economic commentator for the Financial Times, a brilliant tour d'horizon of the new global economy and its trajectory There have been many books that have sought to explain the causes and courses of the financial and economic crisis which began in 2007-8. The Shifts and the Shocks is not another detailed history of the crisis, but the most persuasive and complete account yet published of what the crisis should teach us about modern economies and economics. The book identifies the origin of the crisis in the complex interaction between globalization, hugely destabilizing global imbalances and our dangerously fragile financial system. In the eurozone, these sources of instability were multiplied by the tragically defective architecture of the monetary union. It also shows how much of the orthodoxy that shaped monetary and financial policy before the crisis occurred was complacent and wrong. In doing so, it mercilessly reveals the failures of the financial, political and intellectual elites who ran the system. The book also examines what has been done to reform the financial and monetary systems since the worst of the crisis passed. "Are we now on a sustainable course?" Wolf asks. "The answer is no." He explains with great clarity why "further crises seem certain" and why the management of the eurozone in particular "guarantees a huge political crisis at some point in the future." Wolf provides far more ambitious and comprehensive plans for reform than any currently being implemented. Written with all the intellectual command and trenchant judgment that have made Martin Wolf one of the world's most influential economic commentators, The Shifts and the Shocks matches impressive analysis with no-holds-barred criticism and persuasive prescription for a more stable future. It is a book no one with an interest in global affairs will want to neglect. ging fire, and it offers solutions that will seem extremely radical to some, but neither is it without hope. The new global economic order is lifting tens of millions of people out of poverty and creating new winners and losers at an unimagined scale and pace. It's simply high time, indeed past time, for our economics to keep pace with our economy. Now, with The Shifts and the Shocks, it has.

Beautiful gulf front condo located in Destin Towers, 2 bedroom, 2 bath, sleeps 6. You will have a king bed in the master and king bed in the guest bedroom. The living room has a queen sofa sleeper. This unit is located on the second floor as well as the covered parking, you can walk...
We are a family of 4 and we loved everything about this condo except the bed in the master. If you like a really soft bed than this condo is perfect. The decorations and furniture were nice. Great closet space. Full size washer and dryer. Icemaker and filtered water. It was great parking, and easy in and out. The beach was gorgeous. One small thing, it had all the pots, pans, glasses, etc. that you would need. But it didn't have some of the staple condiments that we're used to in vacation rentals like, Salt & Pepper, Cooking Oil, Spices, Coffee filters, Paper towels, trash bags. We had to purchase all of these things the first day. But other than that this is a great property. We absolutely would stay their again.
The best view that a condo can offer. The property management company was great also! Will stay there again because its so convenient to everything in Destin!

Listening to the World: Foreign Films Bounce Back in 2004
by Anthony Kaufman
While the Bush administration prefers to ignore the voices of foreigners, U.S. movie audiences this year are showing greater acceptance.
After a promising spring and a beleaguered early summer (thanks to the domination of "Fahrenheit 9/11"), foreign language films have bounced back in the latter half of 2004, showing staying power, impressive box office figures and an indelible presence rivaling their English-language art-house counterparts. While the year isn't quite over yet (and the best may be yet to come with the expansion of "House of Flying Daggers"), the numbers show a marked leap from a poor 2003, when only seven foreign titles broke the $1 million mark and "Nowhere in Africa" topped the charts at over $6 million.
This year, Miramax's long-overdue release of Zhang Yimou's martial arts spectacle "Hero" made up for the delay with a major 2000-plus-screen distribution campaign, a Quentin Tarantino seal of approval, and $54 million in ticket receipts (making it the third highest-grossing foreign film ever in the U.S. behind "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "Life is Beautiful"). That Zhang's epic is more a series of sensationally colored set-pieces structured a la "Rashomon" rather than a standard Jet Li actioner makes its box office victory all the more surprising.
2004 is turning out to be the year of Zhang, with Sony Classics' follow-up "House" embarking on a distribution pattern similar to "Crouching Tiger," starting out small with 15 screens and then ramping up to 200 screens -- it will be on over a thousand by mid-January.
In all, at least 12 new movies have already broken the $1 million mark, including (in roughly descending order) "The Motorcycle Diaries" (Focus), "Maria Full of Grace" (HBO/Fine Line) "Good Bye, Lenin!" (Sony Classics), "Monsieur Ibrahim" (Sony Classics) "Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter, and Spring" (Sony Classics), "Bon Voyage" (Sony Classics), "Intimate Strangers" (Paramount Classics), "The Story of the Weeping Camel" (ThinkFilm), and "I'm Not Scared" (Miramax).
And this list doesn't even include a trio of late-year Oscar contenders, Jean-Pierre Jeneut's "A Very Long Engagment" (Warner Independent), Pedro Almodovar's "Bad Education" (Sony Classics), and Alejandro Amenbar's "The Sea Inside" (Fine Line).
Proud of their accomplishments this year, Sony Pictures Classics co-president Michael Barker touts, "When's the last time that an independent company had six box office successes that were foreign language films? This is a record for us. This is unheard of in a single year."
2004 also saw big gains for a pair of 2003 Miramax openers: "The Barbarian Invasions" made approximately three-fourths of its $3.4 million cume this year and "City of God" added nearly $3 million in 2004 (with its astounding 18 months in theatrical release).
But ThinkFilm VP Daniel Katz is skeptical about this year's big numbers. "I don't think the theatrical grosses are necessarily the best indicator of their overall 'biz performance' as assessed by the distributor," he says, "due to the high cost of distributing these titles and their relatively poor performance in the ancillary marketplace."
So while "Hero" -- defined in the marketplace as an Asian action film -- should have no trouble making its expensive wide release worthwhile down the road with DVD sales, other smaller, nongenre pictures like "Good Bye, Lenin!" or "Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter" will have a tougher go of it.
But while DVD sales for foreign-lingo pictures still pale in comparison to English-language films, the growth of the home entertainment market has helped cultivate an audience for titles from abroad, according to Michael Barker. "The audience for foreign pictures is getting bigger and I think it has to do with the sophistication that the booming DVD market and the insatiable appetite for this type of film that it's caused," he says. "I also think that younger audience have a less of problem with subtitles than the older generation has."
2004 also saw the resurgence of the "event foreign film," as one distribution exec called it. With enough marketing money, the specialized distributors turned their Chinese or French or Spanish language films into must-see movies for specialized audiences.
Timed to the release of his "Bad Education," Almodovar got a major 8,864-word portfolio in the New York Times Magazine and a special section on the Times' website, complete with audio and visual aids. Earlier this month, The Times' Manohla Dargis published an ode to the glamour girls of China, hooked to the imminent opening of "House of Flying Daggers." And "For Your Consideration" trade ads for "A Very Long Engagement" are as ubiquitous as those for bigger English language films.
Imagine if the latest from Tsai Ming-liang or Jean-Luc Godard got similar wads of marketing cash. (While Tsai's "Goodbye Dragon Inn" topped out at under $30,000, Godard's "Notre Musique" is currently struggling to crack $100,000.)
"We didn't expect these films to make huge amounts of money," says Ryan Werner, head of distribution for Wellspring, which released both "Goodbye Dragon Inn" and "Notre Musique." "But I think we're going to have to be more careful about doing smaller films, like 'Goodbye Dragon Inn' in the future. It's not like we can't make them work, but I had to do all the publicity myself and do everything in-house. Was it worth it at the end of the day? I guess it is."
But with heated competition from more accessible, highly marketed foreign films, it's perhaps harder to get out the works of challenging auteur-filmmakers than ever before. "It's tough getting bookings for Godard," says Werner. "I would say for serious major auteurs, it's not easy." Critics' favorites like Jafar Panahi's "Crimson Gold," Ousmeme Sembene's "Moolaade," Nuri Bilge Ceylan's "Distant," and Michael Haneke's "Time of the Wolf," for example, all struggled to find playdates and a U.S. audience.
Note that all of these films were released by non-studio affiliated companies: the only foreign film in the top ten that came from outside the studio system was ThinkFilm's "The Story of the Weeping Camel."
But ThinkFilm's Mark Urman is careful to point out that this is not always the case. "A lot of foreign language films released by studio divisions gross poorly and a lot of crossover imports go through true indies, often quite small ones," he says. "That just doesn't seem to have been the case this year."
In 2002, for example, a number of the top grossing foreign pictures such as "Y Tu Mama Tambien," "The Crime of Father Amaro," "Russian Ark," and "Sex and Lucia" came from outside the studio system.
But this year, the studio divisions -- as well as more audiences and quite possibly Academy voters -- found that the world outside of the United States is actually worth listening to.

More sights in Cusco
My Peru Journal
In the afternoon we visited an archeological museum and two Inca sites outside of town Tambo, a rocky outcropping with tunneled passages and Sacsayhuaman, a zigzagging multi-level fortification. After walking down the hill back to our hotel, we were pretty tired and went to bed early that night. During dinner we were entertained by an Andean band and bought a CD, which was autographed by all the band members to celebrate the occasion. We observed a roasted guinea pig being served to the next table, but decided to pass on that local dish.

The chances that you will drive to Washington to attend this meeting
might be pretty good. The chances of you getting into the meeting are
not. The meeting is by invitation only.
The security, due to Mrs.
Cheney's presence is incredible. Good luck. Otherwise, I would love to
have you in the audience.
If you are not there, I hope there will be
someone else who will ask the hard questions.
If you think that would bother me, you don't know me very well. Do you think I would be sending messages to this list if I was afraid someone might disagree with me. I appreciate your response and any others. It is useful to have someone point out any obvious errors before I display my ignorance to an even wider audience. I am on other listserves who are likely to agree with
everything I say.
I prefer to have someone challenge me.
Apparently, you are not familiar with the INTASC standards. Do a
google search, they are easy to find. There is no reference to academic
Plenty of vague talk about "learning."
While they do not
use the term "self esteem," the document is full of the language of
self-esteem. For example: "The teacher respects students as
individuals with differing personal and family backgrounds and various
skills, talents, and interests." and "The teacher makes students feel
valued for their potential as people, and helps them learn to value each
other." This is the language of the whole document.
This my whole point.
These might be fine goals for perspective teachers.
My point is that this is not all they should be doing.
I would like to see schools of education go back to preparing teachers to teach reading, math, science, etc.
The documents from these organizations that control or are controlled by education schools are all about everything, but academic achievement.
I don't think that the public, legislators, and governors believe that the sort of goals articulated by INTASC represent
everything education schools should be doing.
If you read the documents from these four organizations you would see
that this is about all education schools are supposed to be doing. I
work in an education school and I can assure you that we adhere to that

Boy, born 2010 HIV, cardiomyopathy, inguinal hernia, rickets, other congenital valgus deformity of the feet, anemia, disorder of the brain Will try to get his updated picture soon. Diagnosis are also dated when he was a baby so many things could have gone except for HIV.
Boy, 5 years old
HIV, Thrombocytopenia (a blood clotting disorder)
This adorable sweet boy is doing well with his medication regime. He has weekly blood tests for the Thrombocytopenia. He takes meds twice a day for HIV. His levels are now normal and the virus is apparently undetectable. He has those blood tests every 2 wks. He likes swimming (he can swim underwater), building with blocks, and playing with cars. This child is naïve, very trusting, and has no fear of strangers. He is good with other kids, but timid & afraid of rough/big kids. There are no limitations on his activity due to his health. He can run, jump, and swim. He uses knee pads & a helmet when riding a bike in order to prevent injury. He is a gentle boy who use to cry often but he has gotten much better and more confident. He had some significant issues with decay in his front teeth; he saw the dentist in fall 2015 and had his teeth fixed. Now that his teeth are no longer a source of constant infection, his platelet levels have dropped within normal range!
He lives with a foster mother who works very hard to prepare her foster children for adoption.
Juliana: girl, born 2012, diagnosed with HIV and mild mental delay
Lily: girl, born 2010, HIV, disorder of brain, mixed specific development disorders, umbilical hernia, Anaemia (on right)
Must be adopted together; the sisters are in different orphanages (in different towns) because of age difference, but in the same region, so it will be 1 court for both siblings.
Married couples only. Older parents and large families OK. Travel required.
Boy, born 2010
HIV disease resulting in multiple infections, Disorder of brain, Divergent concomitant strabismus, Atopic dermatitis, Umbilical hernia
This attached picture is NOT recent, but it is what we have available for now. He has 3 older half-siblings, it is believed they live with family at this time.
From a family who met Cody spring 2014: we were able to spend a good amount of time with him. He was delightful! He loved holding our hands when we went for walks outside, and he loved playing ball with my husband. He seemed healthy, smart, well-behaved, and kind to the other kids. We often saw him acting kind of like a big brother, helping some of the others with things like zipping their jackets. I think he would do great in a family with other kids. We were sad to say goodbye to him, and he asked us when his mom and dad were coming.
Cody: Mild mental delay, Atrial septal defect, HIV disease resulting in encephalopathy, Hypertrophy of tonsils
Caren: HIV
They must be adopted together. She is in a different orphanage because of her age, but in the same region, pretty close to each other. It will be the same court for both children.
He changed 3 orphanages already and this summer he will be transferred again because of his school age; he is scheduled to be transferred before school starts in September. Where is he going is NOT good! He needs OUT!! He is a very good and friendly boy and needs a family asap!

Well done, Bellinghamsters. You're in pretty good shape.
18.7% of Bellingham residents weigh in as "obese" today according to a new study, and that's actually pretty good. In fact, we're the fifth least obese community in the country.
Seattle/Tacoma/Bellevue is just a little farther down the list at 22.7%.
Boulder, Colorado continues to have the lowest obesity rate in the nation, at 12.4%. Boulder has had the lowest obesity rate every year but one since Gallup and Healthways began measuring in 2008.
At the other end of the scale, Yakima is the most obese city in Washington, coming in at fourth fattest in the country at 35.7%.

Nothing is worse than feeling "out of control" of your business! I know that sick feeling when cashflow is running low, and frustrations start to rise. Ignoring the signs of cash flow trouble doesn't solve anything. You need to get hold of the steering wheel and take full control of your business.
As a director, it's YOU who is ultimately responsible for your business. No one else.
It's YOU who is ultimately liable for the losses. In many countries, the director gets sued when something goes wrong or when the company collapses.
Let me share with you a few truths in the world of business:
- The 'board of directors' (even if it consists of one person) is responsible for the performance of the company
- Whether you like it or not, running a business means you are severely liable for everything
- Oftentimes, you won't easily understand what went wrong and why
- You need to be accurate with your facts and provide reports to the board of directors for corporate compliance.
Running a successful business also holds secret keys. One important key to success is reporting the company's activities on a weekly or monthly basis. Personally, I prefer a monthly board report to stakeholders. Even if they don't ask, presenting a company report displays your professionalism.
Why do you need a board report?
- You cannot manage what you do not measure!
- BEFORE meeting my bank manager, I send him reports for the last three months. Then we meet to discuss how the bank can help me, not what the bank wants from me. (There is a big difference between the two)
- When I produce reports to other financial experts (such as financial advisers, business coach, etc.), it creates the impression of a professional no-nonsense business that sets standards
- Board reports help the 'board of directors' track the company share value each month. Therefore, any potential shareholder dispute is resolved before it comes up, because everyone is on the same page. Equal access to information presents transparency for every member of the board
- Graphs, whether good or bad, show a clear direction. Project it forward to two cycles to ensure you are ALWAYS in control
- Board reports helps you manage your KPI's, harnessing your discipline in implementing systems in your business
- With a board report, the biggest issues are easily seen and presented. Sometimes, it is the top three biggest challenges presented in the report. Keep the facts (not the emotions) up front
- Ratios are easily measured and understood
- Graphs and diagrams will explain the meat of your report. Keep it simple and easy to understand
- Managing cash flow forecasts becomes easy when you know the incomes and expenses.
My name is Kelvin Davis and I am running nine separate businesses, in four countries, with over 60 staff. I know exactly how you feel on good and bad business days. When I was just starting, I had difficulty in collating all the information that I have in a comprehensive but easy-to-understand report. I realized I didn't have a template!
And then, I thought, other business owners could be facing the same problem!
So, I created a premier board report template including a cash flow forecasting tool and shared it here so you too can manage your business and cash flow.
I personally use this template each month and now, it has been downloaded hundreds of times and already being used in over 20 countries. Feedbacks from clients have proven that this template works for all businesses, regardless of the size.
This Board Report Template and cash flow forecast charts are designed to be simple. It uses accounting lessons practiced by big accounting firms, translated into layman's term so everybody can understand.
KPMG, Ernst & Young and BDO all gave me complex reports which I hated, because they are too taxing. I told myself, reports shouldn't be this complicated! So I created a "how to report", then cash flow management charts that simplified all the terms and results. We have also simplified the accounting data entry, so you won't have a hard time.
I am proud to be able to share this with you, so you can also be successful, regardless of currency, country and products sold.
This websites focuses on giving you The Board Report Templates, cash flow templates plus educational materials for business owners and board members, nothing else!
What will change for you?
- Increased cash flow
- Controlled business growth
- Liabilities are managed
- Corporate compliance reporting easily mastered
- Maximize business controls
- Controlled regular profits
NOTE: If any of these areas are not important to your specific business, you may remove the sections and add your own.

As a precursor to Constitution Day, a Wheeling audience took a closer look at James Madison, one of the most important, but least recognized, framers of that document.
Dr. Joe Laker, a retired professor of history at Wheeling Jesuit University, reviewed a new book, "James Madison and the Spirit of Republican Self-Government" by Villanova professor Colleen Sheehan, for a Lunch With Books program at the Ohio County Public Library Tuesday, Sept. 14.
Laker found the work to be a "thoughtful, very well-written book, well researched with lots of footnotes." However, he wished the author would have given more information on the figure of Madison and the times. He said the book was "rather narrowly focused," primarily on Madison's political philosophy.

Self-Government," at the Ohio County Public Library.

The professor described the nation's future fourth president as being short, shy, scholarly and a major intellectual force. He said that Sheehan's book begins with what happened after the Constitution was ratified, when "the real hard work starts," and the author writes of "the rivalries that existed from the very beginning of the country." Laker observed, "There was a lot of political strife among the so-called founding fathers."
Laker said Sheehan cites four schools of thought about Madison: she rejects a progressive view that he was anti-democratic; she also argues against a mid-20th century liberal demoncratic intrepretation of a mechanistic approach to government; she contends a classical republicanism view of aristocratic leadership in the republic is still not at the heart of Madison; she finds a synthesism theory of mechanistic plus aristocratic leadership to be partly true.
At the time, the Federalist Party dominated politics, but Madison was "the first great leader" of the Republican Party, which later became the Democratic Party, with Thomas Jefferson as his principal supporter and ally, Laker said.
Laker explained that Alexander Hamilton, a leading Federalist, wanted the federal government to have ongoing debt so that people would have an investment in government, but Madison thought the government might be in debt to the wrong sort of people. Hamilton thought the federal government should carry out policies to stimulate growth in manufacturing and commerce, but Madison and Jefferson were appalled, fearing corruption in government from favored deals.
Madison favored small government, "close to the people," and contended that all people should be involved in the political process and understand the issues, Laker said. "Our society is a very politicized one. This is actually what Madison wanted, to keep the people politically engaged at all times," the professor observed.
"I actually enjoyed this book. I learned a lot about what was taking place in America," Laker commented, but added, "I would have liked more on the character and personality of the man, and more of what he did as president."
In response to a question from the audience, Laker said Madison's wife, Dolley, "was a very engaging, outgoing person," almost the opposite of her husband. By contrast, Madison was a shy, withdrawn person who didn't marry until his 40s. "Then he marries this engaging, sparkling woman. She certainly broadened and helped him in the White House," Laker remarked.

Last week the online design world was abuzz over photos of Lee Radziwill's Paris apartment that were recently featured in T Magazine. As the younger sister of Jackie Kennedy, a royal princess, prominent socialite, style icon and friend to luminaries like Truman Capote and Andy Warhol, Radziwill, 79, is a truly fascinating figure. Her inspiring Parisian apartment where she lives part-time is ultra-feminine with elegant French furnishings, pops of pink, chinoiserie florals and gilded bronze accents. Check out the mood board we put together below for ideas on how to get this look!

jamie herzlinger
How delightful to see it!
I had just read a NYT article/interview with her that had described those
"my little men" Asian decor fabric chairs near the fireplace and wondered what they looked like.
Thanks for the photos!
Here is the link to see this article I mentioned.
What makes the photos of Lee Radziwill's room so amazing is the florals! Not only the arrangments but fabrics and pictures! Great choice
