Plane Carrying 14 Crashes in Nepal
August 24, 2010 KATMANDU
- A small passenger plane carrying 14 people, including some foreigners, to the Mount Everest region crashed into the hills outside Nepal's capital in heavy rain Tuesday, officials said.
A witness said there were no survivors, but there was no immediate word from officials on casualties.
The area's police chief, Ram Bahadur Shrestha, said the plane went down near Shikharpur village, about 50 miles (80 kilometers) south of Katmandu.
The German-built Dornier airplane was carrying 11 passengers and three crew members when bad weather forced it to try to return to Katmandu.
Rescue coordinators at the police headquarters in Katmandu said six foreigners were on board but could not give details.
Initial reports said there were 15 passengers and three crew members on board.
Shrestha said rescuers have not been able to reach the crash site and villagers were trying to help out.
The area has no roads and is only accessible by foot, but the route from the nearest town is blocked by a river flooded by monsoon rainfall.
Ram Bahadur Gole, a villager who witnessed the accident, told Avenues Television network that there were no survivors.
He said the crash impact broke the plane into several pieces that were scattered on a hillside, and that continuing rain and flooding had made many of the area's foot trails unpassable.

Nepal Silk Road
April 12, 2016 eurekalert.org - Nepali textile find suggests Silk Road extended further south than previously thought. The first results of textile and dye analyses of cloth dated between 400-650 AD and recovered in Nepal.
Identification of degummed silk fibres and munjeet and Indian lac dyes in the textile finds suggests that imported materials from China and India were used in combination with those locally produced.
The cloth remains are of further significance as very few contemporary textile finds are known from Nepal. The dry climate and high altitude favoured the exceptional preservation of the organic materials.
One of the cloth objects recovered is composed of wool fabrics to which copper, glass and cloth beads are attached. It was found near a coffin of an adult along with a spectacular gold/silver funerary mask. The tombs were exposed to view in 2009 following a seismic event that calved off the facade of the cliff.

Amy was here for Thanksgiving and requested I take her to my favorite food truck. That was an easy choice.
Giselle came along and after deciding that Yardhouse was not the type of bar "where everybody knows your name and they're always glad you came", we went to my house to watch Eat, Pray, Love where I introduced them to my new love of sparkling cider and my old love of whoring out Christmas.
Then, Amy showed me what she's learned in Harlem and gave me a dubi. I will spare you the after pictures but I'll have you know my hair was super silky and shiny after. Mhm.

Failing Windows Marketplace for Mobile certification testing can be a frustrating experience, but it doesn't have to be. Failing certification costs a submission credit (or another $99 if you've exhausted your initial five credits), you've to correct and resubmit your application – likely not what you planned. This post cover a few tips that should help you increase the first time pass rate and have your app published to Marketplace sooner:
- Understand Certification Requirements: As Windows Marketplace for Mobile developer, you're notified via email when Application Submission Requirements for Windows Marketplace for Mobile is updated. You can also check Windows Marketplace for Mobile forum for important announcements including availability of new requirements.
- Run Hopper early and often: From the requirements document: 1.17. Hopper Test
Application must complete two hours of Microsoft's Hopper test without exhibiting unpredictable behavior, hanging or crashing. Also Hopper has been updated to support Windows Mobile 6.5, correct version of Hopper can be downloaded here.
- Adapt Your App: From requirements document: 1.13. Multiple Device Support
Developers must identify required device functionality during Windows Marketplace submission process. Apps must've ability to run on multiple WM device platforms, for e.g., multiple Standard or multiple Professional devices. Although not recommended, apps can support a limited number of WM devices. This requirement also includes proper handling of screen rotation. Just about every WMP device now supports dynamic rotation. Typically this's triggered when sliding out an on-device keyboard or titling the device. The Adapt Your App section in WMD center is a great resource for information on how to ensure your app properly adapts to different screen orientations, sizes, and DPIs. When changing orientation the OS will send your app a size event. Make sure you're taking action on this event: OnSize (if a managed) or WM_SIZE (for native code). For e.g., you may need to reposition some of your user interface elements. For a great in-depth article on this topic, check out: Adaptable Apps For Windows Mobile.

More Staff, Honest People
Anything else?
My Mother was admitted to Shelly Ward under the Mental Health Act. She was to be accessed and then given treatment. Less than 2 months later she as died. In the time spent on Shelly Ward she suffered a smashed nose and a broken hip. All her belongings that were left on the ward for safe keeping are gone. I always were given excusses about her care, nerver enough staff on the ward and when i complained to the powers that be , they very often did'nt even return my calls. Since this as happen I talked to another family , and they said their mother had been on the same ward and had broken her ribs. When it comes to reporting this , there is not much help and unless somthing is done about this ward more people will die.
Response from Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust 7 years ago
Thank you for your comments regarding your Mother's care at Ashfield Community Hospital.
We apologise for the delay in responding to this posting. We did not receive it when posted on the NHS Choices website. This means we were unaware it was on the site until passed onto us recently. I hope you will accept our apology as we believe it is important for us to respond quickly. Patient Opinion have transferred it over to their website so that we can respond to you.
Whilst an inpatient on Shelley Ward your mother did have a fall which regrettably resulted in bruising around her face and a fractured femur. She was transferred to King's Mill Hospital for treatment of her fracture. At the request of the family she was transferred to Bassetlaw Hospital to receive further assessment of her dementia. During that time her physical health deteriorated and she was transferred from the mental health ward to a medical ward at Bassetlaw Hospital where she sadly died. There have been a number of improvements and changes to Shelley Ward since you first raised these issues with the service and we are genuinely sorry that your experience around dementia care assessment was not a positive one.

Oil collapses to four-year low on OPEC decision
Global oil prices plunged Friday to yet another four-year low after the OPEC oil producing cartel decided to maintain crude output in an oversupplied market, dealers said.
London Brent oil for January delivery sank in early deals to $71.12 per barrel -- the lowest level since July 7, 2010.
US benchmark West Texas Intermediate for January sank to $69.29 a barrel in opening trade on the New York Mercantile Exchange, down $4.40 from Wednesday's closing price.
The NYMEX was closed Thursday for a holiday, but in electronic trading WTI had slumped as low as $67.75.
The 12-nation Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) opted Thursday to maintain its collective output ceiling at 30 million barrels per day, where it has stood for three years, sending prices plunging.
OPEC refused to cut production despite oversupply that has sent prices tumbling by more than a third since June, with analysts warning of further falls to come.
- Global supply glut -
"As expected, OPEC confirmed what many market participants had expected by leaving their official production quota unchanged," said Sucden analyst Kash Kamal.
"Many investors had hoped for some positive steps forward as the global supply glut continues to exert considerable downward pressure on futures prices," he added.
At Thursday's OPEC gathering in Vienna, the cartel came under pressure from its poorer members, including Venezuela and Ecuador, to trim production as tumbling prices were eating into revenues and raising fears over their economies.
However, the group's powerful Gulf members led by kingpin Saudi Arabia resisted the calls to turn down the taps unless they are guaranteed market share, particularly in the United States, where cheap shale gas has contributed to the global supply glut.
Another member, Kuwait, supported the move with the country's oil minister Ali Omair saying: "We decided that price will adjust itself based on supply and demand and that OPEC is supposed to safeguard its market share in order not to lose its clients."
He suggested the United States should also bear responsibility and lower its own output of shale oil.
Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro declared Thursday that he would keep pushing OPEC to slash output.
The oil market has plunged in recent months, depressed by plentiful supplies, the stronger dollar and demand fears in a weakening global economy.
"OPEC's decision to keep output is the main reason for prices to drop quite rapidly," said Daniel Ang, an investment analyst with Phillip Futures in Singapore.
"Prices are likely to be going down for the rest of the year," he told AFP.
Ang, who closely tracks the oil market, said he expects WTI to end 2014 in the "low 60s" and Brent in the "mid-60s".
- OPEC attacking US shale? -
This week's OPEC decision was meanwhile perceived by some analysts as an attack on the booming US shale energy sector.
"OPEC is dominated by Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, who also have the highest tolerance for low oil prices due to the economies of scale generated by their huge super fields," said analyst Nick Campbell at consultancy Inspired Energy.
"Therefore, in order to combat low demand and a new supply threat -- both mainly in the United States -- the trick is to drop your price."
Technological innovations have unlocked shale resources in North America and raised daily US oil output by more than 40 percent since 2006, but at a production cost which can be three or four times that of extracting Middle Eastern oil.
"US shale producers costs are estimated to be much higher than most OPEC producers and, therefore, by pushing the oil price lower they are hoping to drive the higher cost current producing wells to the margin and, more importantly, stop new sites developing," added Campbell.
US oil output is soaring thanks to shale energy, which involves blasting a high-pressure blend of water, sand and chemicals deep underground in order to release hydrocarbons trapped between layers of rock.

Good Morning All!
I searched the cookie forums and did not seem to find my answer...
I am having trouble with my RI...even when I make it according to the recipe, it is too flowing....for outlining and such...(it oozes out of the tip and makes a MESS) so I was wondering....
Will it be a problem to cut back on the water...say to 1/2 cup...so that it will be thicker? That shouldn't be a problem, right? I can always thin it out to flood the cookie...I just don't want it to ooze out of the tip and be working like a mad woman to get my base on the cookies!!
TIA to any and all advice!! Happy Baking!!
Yes you can cut back on the water. That's what I do. Then thin later for flooding. Good Luck!
Thanks Tiffany!!
You're welcome!

Unless you're suddenly projecting him as a 4th line grinder.
I don't agree with that one. He was tearing up an improved AHL before his injury, how would he learn anything there in a much more diluted form?
He is adapting his game to the NHL level, and you see progress each and every game these days. Sending him down now will stop that adaptation process as things there will once again come far too easily to him.
Right now, ANY NHL ice time for Granlund is an opportunity to adapt and learn... I'd just rather he was on the 2nd line since he's been clearly outplaying both Cullen and Brodziak for more than a week now.

Shackletons Tiger Fishing Lodge
Shackletons is located in the flood plain region of the upper Zambezi River in Zambia near the village of Mwandi, meaning a place of plenty fish. The lodge has access to 130 km (80 miles) of the upper Zambezi River, called "God's Highway" by renowned explorer David Livingstone.
Upper Zambezi River Fishing
Shackletons Lodge caters to fly fishing, spin and lure anglers of all levels. Peak fishing months are June and July. Expect to catch five to 15 tigers per day. Tigers in the 14-to 22-pound range are in these waters. These rich tiger fishing grounds are less than five minutes by boat from the lodge. Ten species are available including tilapia, bream, and catfish. The guides are courteous, knowledgeable, and they speak Fishing English - enough to get by. When our lodge reviewer and host, Eric Schoenborn, was here in October of 2012, five tigers a day was considered a daily average. The guides said during mid-July, anglers caught as many as 30 to 40 tigers per angler, per day. Most folks could expect 5 to 15 opportunities in any given day as there are plenty of fish. Fish from 16' to 26' bass-type boats. You'll see lots of hippos, crocodiles, and a few elephants on the river.
Shackletons' Fishing Seasons
The upper Zambezi River flucuates constantly, yet the lodge is open year-round. This very special part of the upper Zambezi offers great fishing due to the flood plains. The annual floods rejuvenate the river system around the lodge. The river rises for six months of the year to form the flood plains, and recedes for the other six months of the year. When Eric Schoenborn was here in October of 2012, the river was considered low at the time - stretching 200 to 300 yards wide. The area has been sprayed for the tetse fly.
Shackletons Tigerfishing Lodge:
The Lodge accommodates 12 people in six, stone-thatched, en-suite chalets with private, teak decks overlooking the Zambezi River. Each room is equipped with two, full-sized beds, ceiling fan, safe box, mosquito netting, en-suite bathroom with shower, sink and toilet, and electricity. The main area features a swimming pool, lounge and open dining area, with riverside bar, and sun downer deck. Enjoy the unparalleled views of the Zambezi River. Wonderful home-cooked meals. The area is home to over 300 bird species.
Getting Here:
You'll fly into Johannesburg, South Africa. From there, you'll then take a one-hour and 40-minute flight to Livingstone, Zambia. Once you've arrived at the Livingstone Airport, you'll need a ground transfer from the airport to the lodge. It's a one-hour and 45-minute drive to the Lodge. The transfer is 120 km (75 miles) over a paved road with some bumps and potholes.
Required documents:
A passport and visa are required to enter Zambia. The passport must be valid for at least six months after the intended date of departure from Zambia. A single-entry visa only may be obtained at the port of entry for $50.00. Travelers must apply in advance at a Zambian Embassy or consulate for a multiple-entry visa. The fee for a three-year multiple-entry visa is $80.00. Tourists visiting for the day from a neighboring country (such as those visiting Victoria Falls from Zimbabwe) can obtain a $20.00 day-trip visa at the border. Tour organizers may arrange multiple-entry visas in advance for their clients. Try to bring exact change whenever practical. U.S. citizens have occasionally reported being overcharged for visas at the port of entry. Travelers have the right to request a receipt and can report any concerns to Zambia Immigration Headquarters at Kent House in Lusaka. http://travel.state.gov

I am under a lot of stress at my house right now. I have a son-in-law, his girlfriend and their 7 month old baby living here. They refuse to take any of my suggestions to heart in caring for the baby. It is driving me nuts and I am at my wits end. Any ideas on how to de-stress my life while they are here?
Add your voice! Click below to answer. ThriftyFun is powered by your wisdom!
I agree with everyone else, you need to keep your comments about the baby to yourself. I know it's hard because you care so much. So, every time you see something you don't agree with and you are tempted to tell them what to do, turn it into a game in your head and try to think of something kind to say. It can be about anything; a butterfly you saw outside the window or how much you appreciate the way they help you in the kitchen, etc.
The other alternative is to leave the room. Go to your room and read or get some fresh air outside or take up a new hobby so you'll have a project to work on. You need to DO something every time you are tempted to correct them. I hope this helps. I ache for you. Your frustration is normal, and as Dr. Laura says, "I can't fix normal!" Good luck and God bless you! -Lee in FL
I am not sure what you mean by "refuse to take any of my suggestions to heart in caring for the baby" but as long as the baby is not neglected or abused I would leave it alone. I know it is very difficult but really giving advice is all you can do since they are the parents. My best advice is to try and not get too involved in the baby's care so you do not get upset. I admire you for taking them in and I hope they appreciate you. Do take care of yourself and try not to get upset or stressed out.
I think you are a wonderful person for letting them stay with you but I think on this you are gonna have to keep mum and let them live and learn! We all had to do that at sometime and unless you see something that is neglectful or harmful bite your tongue!
I know it's hard to stand by and watch young parents learn to parent but maybe you can teach by example. Almost anybody would object to being told how to care for their child but we can all learn from watching a more experienced person do things. As somebody already said, unless it's very harmful or dangerous you just have to turn a blind eye....or ask them to move.
You have stress because they are there. You can and should get them out with definite time limits/dates and realistic compensation for rent and living expenses while they use your home.
Second-This is your son-in-law and his girlfriend? You aren't dealing with family and can not approach them in quite as close a manner even if they are living in your home.
I hope they aren't trying to scam public assistance and save money they shouldn't be receiving (while you pay their bills) instead of working and paying their own way.
My big question is why you're taking in your son-in-law and his girlfriend??? If you lost your daughter and try to maintain a relationship with your former son-in-law; you have my deepest sympathies but having them in your home is VERY unhealthy for you. It's making you miserable and you have to stop allowing them to take advantage of you.
You might want to think about doing some foster care when they're gone because you obviously have the room and the desire to mother someone. The state would pay the bills for the children and God knows foster care could use some good moms like you.
I remember being a young mother (35 years ago) and how irrelevant and ignorant I thought the previous generation was. So, I agree with your other Feedback. Try to remove yourself from the situation.
For goodness sakes, try to keep your relations with your in-laws positive. Boy, can that make problems. Let this be a time they will look back on with pleasure, not anger.
I would use the following script: "Dear __, I have made the following decision. You have one week to find a new place to live and to get there." They will wail, want to know why but you don't say anything but keep chanting over and over, "Please be gone by Saturday. I will be forced to take other action if you are delinquent. I hope you find a place you like." Then go to another room. They will blow up, be mad, but you will breathe again when it's over and be surprised that they weren't as blowhard as you thought. In about a year, they will be friends again.
I would write them a note then go for a walk or somewhere till they had time to cool off. Tell them just what you want them to do. Do not get up set with them, be calm,as you know our blood pressure goes up when we are up set. take care of yourself, good luck.
Take the stress off yourself by understanding that this is their baby and accepting that we all do things differently. I assume they are there because you agreed for them to be there.
See if you can go out for awhile and enjoy yourself for once they are older and have a baby. If they are living their because of money ok but make sure they clean up after themselves and around the house and also help pay some of the bills. Do not be a babysitter all the time make sure they asked you and if it gets crazy watch Reba at least you don't have a bj living next door (ha-ha)
If you have a son in law and his girlfriend and their baby, where is it you are required to take care of them? This relationship is NOT related, give them the want ads and a deadline.
If this fails, set up a meeting with rules of the house going to be enforced--rent, helping manage the house, cleaning, bills, laundry, dishes all with out being asked to do so on a regular basis. You are not a hotel. I assume it is your house, if all else fails, put it up for sale (or make noises to such.)
I agree with T&T Grandma & dh8: since none of these 3 are related to you by blood, why do you have to take care of them?! While it's kindhearted of you to take them in, I don't understand why they're your responsibility. And like dh8, I too hope they're not getting public assistance at the same time you're paying their bills. I say, give them a deadline and ask them to leave.
Give them a realistic time limit to move out. Whatever you feel comfortable with. (Say a month?) It's frustrating because you genuinely want to help them but you need to put your own health and wellness first. (mental, physical, emotional etc.) Let them know you love and care for them but the living situation isn't working out. Your in YOUR home. It needs to feel like YOUR home not like your a visitor in their world. It sounds like you still really want to help them and are torn. Think of other ways you can help besides financially and putting a roof over their head. (babysitting once in a while?) Best of luck in whatever you decide.
These are hard kinds of situations to deal with. Things can be taken very personal when you live with someone even though it isn't meant that way. All I can say is be very clear the living situation isn't working out for you but don't dive into specifics. You can not change other peoples living habits. You can not change other peoples living habits and life styles. (and I will say it a third time) You can not change other people's living habits! (I am saying this as much to you as I am to myself! believe me I've tried! The more you push the more others push away even if you are helping them out! Best to skip that step.)
You have received good advise. I've had my son and DIL and their 3 kids living with me for a while. I know it is hard to keep quiet but it is better for you to take a "keep out of it" approach. I wish you luck. If it gets to be too much why not take a ride to a mall or store. Get away for a while and you'll see how that helps.

OTTAWA (Reuters) - The Canadian government and central bank are concerned about the broader weakness of the U.S. dollar and keep a close eye on volatility in the Canadian currency, Finance Minister Jim Flaherty said on Wednesday.
"Our major concern in Canada always is volatility. Businesses can't plan if we have volatility in our currencies ... so we'd like to watch an orderly market," he told BNN television.
Flaherty said earlier in the day that "we're all concerned internationally with the weakness in the U.S. dollar", a topic which had been discussed at recent G7 and International Monetary Fund meetings in Turkey.
"So we're watching carefully; of course, the governor of the Bank (of Canada) is watching as well," he told reporters.
Flaherty, speaking to BNN, said Canada, China, Britain, the United States and "many other countries" felt it not yet to time to wind down stimulus spending.
"We're all agreed that we have some stabilization in the economy, there is meager evidence of entrenched recovery, that we need to stay the course, keep the spending going, create public demand, because the evidence of private demand is quite limited," he said.

I'm inspired by this blog post by David Kadavy about trying to write 100 words every day. It's a reasonable, realistic goal, which might produce some interesting thoughts.
So, this is the first one, on a Tuesday, which feels very much like a Monday. It's not about anything in particular beyond the idea of making small life changes, little resolutions, or new habits.
I'm gonna keep to my goal of writing something a little more lengthy each Sunday, supplemented throughout the week by these 100 words at a time.
To add a little spice, I'll include a photo too!

You bought your Canyon because its reliability and trusted quality agreed with your nature; so why would you be okay with second rate when it comes to great quality auto parts? Auto enthusiasts appreciate the a brand you can trust built into each GMC, and know that only the highest quality repair Canyon parts will suffice when your car or truck needs fixing. It's not every day that you realize that you have to buy a replacement Transmission Filter to repair your car or truck. Your GMC dealership isn't the only place to find trusted repair parts to fix your Canyon.
A functioning drive train is crucial to the everyday operation of your vehicle. The automatic transmission on your GMC Canyon draws upon a reservoir of hydraulic fluid to both power and lubricate its moving parts. Thus, an automatic transmission filter is required to trap and retain some of the impurities that could be flowing through the fluid. Your car or truck needs to have its automatic transmission filter replaced every 30,000 to 60,000 miles (unless otherwise specified by the manufacturer). Your GMC Canyon automatic transmission filter does not simply screw on like an oil filter, nor does it drop in like your air filter. Your transmission pan will likely need to be unbolted and all the fluid replaced as well.
At Car Parts Discount, we have real customer support agents on the phone with enough expertise to help you purchase the appropriate GMC Canyon part for your needs. Don't let a broken Transmission Filter spell the end of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't gamble with its condition by buying anything but the highest quality repair parts. Given all the hassles associated with performing maintenance on your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the first place you go to make buying it easy. When it comes to GMC Canyon Transmission Filter parts, you can find them for 2017, 2016, 2015, 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004 models by clicking the appropriate year below.

Mrs. Witzel agreed to make her 4/3 payment on 4/19 and did not not uphold that agreement. Lighthouse made numerous attempts to reach the client after the broken promise, however our calls were not returned. The account was assigned for reposession on 4/22 and ultimately repossessed on 4/25. The account was 22 days delinquent at the time of reposession and there had been no further communication from the client regarding her intentions on the loan or with regard to the past due payment.
Lighthouse Financial Group has acted in full compliance with all federal and state regulations governing title loans and find that there is no basis for this complaint.

Some girl I know who I work with deleted me on snapchat I think. I added her a while back and she accepted and now when I go onto the ghost to see who added me it says she did but the plus is there like I have to add her again? So does this mean she deleted me? Because I have to re add her now (I'm not going to) and I didn't get a notification to say she added me again so I think she may have deleted me. But wtf why? I have no idea I haven't done anything to her or seen her for a few weeks so I'm confused why
So wtf, she deleted me on snapchat?

Our Junior Program teaches International 3 position smallbore (.22), air rifle, and air pistol for teenage girls and boys. The Junior Program is open to all youngsters between the ages of 12 and 19. Practices are during the school year, from 4:30 PM to 7:30 PM on Mondays. A junior may participate for as little as $35 per year.
Our juniors often attend and participate in area rifle and pistol matches. The experience gained in participation in these matches, coupled with the skills learned at the club, build on our Juniors abilities and knowledge of the shooting sports.
NCRR, as an NRA affiliated club, does not discriminate based on sex, race, or religion. NCRR is also affiliated with the Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) and has obtained several quality .22 caliber rifles for juniors' training. Parents who would like their children to participate in this program but do not have .22 rifles need not worry. The CMP has a program to make good quality .22 rifles available at moderate cost, in addition to those that the club provides for their use during meetings and competition.
Currently we have many of our young shooters being invited to the Olympic Development Team and are ranked nationally as well as in the world. We at NCRR have also been fortunate to have several juniors go on to college varsity teams.

Following a few talks, I understood rsquo & he; a fantastic GuyBone man is made by n since he was laid chill and back, prepared also have warm fun and to stop it. He s an attractive Latino man nearby whose speech provides you with gender goosebumps and whose hair is definitely ideal. It s heavy and sleek therefore when you get him speaking, you ll reach notice lots of it and he s a chat. He began about the mattress on his legs, viewing a GuyBone picture of issues. He liked Wire Covers Jay Raw while he rubbed his penis only under his trousers so he viewed it on his telephone. He usually goes commando, therefore actually is merely a thin coating of denim between his expanding penis and his palm. He pushed his trousers right down to his legs and unzipped his travel. His dick was prepared jostled together with his every transfer and to be used because it returned. Their pubes appeared attractive as fuck around his fine cut penis and were nicely cut. Their balls that were large put below his base, wanting to pour their seed. Jay and wire were hectic about the cellular display, drawing and fucking out their warm kisses. Dieter was horned up seeing them. He stiffened it more and tugged on his penis. He dropped obtaining much more comfortable as he extended his objective to stroke out one. It n been a couple of days because he last arrived, he explained, and that I was receiving really thinking about observing how large his fill went to be. Since I came across them irresistibly attractive on him I'd to obtain some pictures of his Chucks. The truth that he held his trousers and shoes on offered me the impact he might have been everywhere, in a rush, and jerked fast as could be out-of real requirement to obtain down. Hot child together with his doll that is hot. Couldn t be troubled to get rid of sneakers and his trousers. The requirement to seed was excellent. Their heavy moaning and breathing started also it was apparent he worked toward orgasm. He began teasing his penis, keeping it having a light understanding, simply fingertips, pressing it aside, truly allowing it to throb and set. Their large black balls jiggled with each stroke. He reveled within its slickness and put some SPUNK lube. He shifted towards the fringe of the mattress, decreased over his thighs, and planted his Chucks company on the ground. This is how he favored to cum, and it inspired. He applied it solid, raging a large weight onto his leg. It had been looked tasty and white. It was made by one bow almost to his leg. He milked the whole fill from his penis and decreased lots of Y-Weapons, which created me grin behind the camera. It had been obviously an incredible sensation climax also it was apparent us to both it was simply stunning adult- ship's start.

BravoKilowrote a review of Lorpen Merino Light Hiker Sock - 2-Pack - Men's on November 2, 2012
Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
As others have said, a great sock for a great price. Wear them all the time to work (w/ slacks & dress shoes) and also out on the trail. Have held up remarkably well, provide decent cushion, and can be worn a few days in a row without stinking (for when you're feeling lazy). Have since picked up about 8 pairs and wear these almost exclusively.

|AutomationDirect Live Chat
(VID-TT-0003) - Welcome to Kickstart where you get to see new products here at AutomationDirect. Today I am going to show you our new ratchets and sockets from the brand Wera. Wera is known for product innovations in tool design and they make some of the most robust user friendly hand tools that I have ever put in my toolbox. You won't find tools like these at your local big box store.
First I will show you the wera ratchets and capabilities. These are called Zyklop ratchets and have the same Kraftform Plus handles used on their screwdrivers. These handles are comfortable for your hand and offer superior grip. The Zyklop ratchets have a unique swivel head that locks in 5 positions allowing you to gain motion in even the tightest working environments. Let me demonstrate.
Tests have shown that these wera ratchets allow assembly three times faster than a standard ratchet.
These Zyklop ratchets also have a fine tooth ratchet design that allows operation in tight spaces with travel as low as 5 degrees. All ratchets include an easy-to-grip free-turning sleeve for faster work when using the ratchet as a screwdriver. Wera Ratchets are made of chrome molybdenum steel with a nickel-chrome coating for corrosion protection.
These ratchets that are available individually in ¼", 3/8" & ½" drive sizes. You can purchase these in socket sets as well, but those will be a separate video.
Next are the Wera sockets that are available in small sets of sockets only or in larger sets that include a Zyklop ratchet and other accessories (again, that will be a separate video).
These Socket Sets are made from high quality chrome vanadium steel and have a knurled edge for manual turning, and have laser etched numbering and markings for easy to read socket sizes. Inch and metric socket sizes are available with 1/4, 3/8 or 1/2 inch square drive and these Individual socket sets come on rails to keep track of loose sockets
These Wera tools have a lifetime warranty against manufacturer defects.

Author | Gokul Krishnamurthy | Monday, Apr 11,2005 7:01 AM
Vijay Times, the English daily from the publishers of the Vijay Karnataka and Usha Kirana, is currently being circulated in a tabloid format in Bangalore as a late-city edition, reaching the markets at 1 pm. The paper is priced at Re.1, and continues with the 16-page colour format of the Vijay Times.
The tabloid format was launched in the Mysore market around a month and a half ago, according to L Ramanand Bhat, Executive Managing Editor, Vijay Times, and Director, Vijayanand Roadways Limited. He explained that the paper was pitted in Mysore against the leading evening daily, The Star of Mysore. Following its satisfactory run in an eveninger-led market, the VRL group has extended its presence to Bangalore from April 1, 2005, and hopes to launch across cities in Karnataka, based on its run in Bangalore.
Speaking to exchange4media, Bhat said, "This is not a new newspaper. It is Vijay Times offered in a different format. So far, the response has been very good." Interestingly, Bhat reveals that the decision to launch in Bangalore was taken just two days before the actual date of launch, and only one dry run was carried out. So the soft launch eventually merged into the actual launch without much publicity, he explained.
The price point of Re.1 and the timing of the edition indicate that the new format will cater to a different niche, one hitherto unexplored by mainline English dailies in Bangalore. In March, the group launched Usha Kirana, a Kannada daily, priced lower than the flagship publication from the group, Vijaya Karnataka.

Matteo Ricci: His Map and Music Summer 2013
IAS Director Ann Waltner and the Ricci World Map of 1602, owned by the James Ford Bell Trust and loaned to the University of Minnesota for the benefit of the James Ford Bell Library, are central players in the featured cultural performance of the 8th International Convention of Asia Scholars convening in Macao in June of 2013.
Dr. Waltner is an artistic director and narrator for "Matteo Ricci: His Map and Music," which debuted in Beijing in 2010 and has been performed here on the campus of the University of Minnesota and at early music festivals in Boston and Indianapolis. The multimedia production tells the story of Jesuit missionary Matteo Ricci and his interactions with Chinese society in the late Ming dynasty (1368-1644.)
The performance blends period music from Europe and Asia, played by the ensemble ¡Sacabuche! (under the direction of Dr. Linda Pearse, Professor of Music, Mount Allison University) and visiting Chinese musicians, with images of the map and narrations in English and Chinese.

New market study, "India Infrastructure Report Q1 2011", has been published
Fast Market Research recommends "India Infrastructure Report Q1 2011" from Business Monitor International, now available
High growth over the medium term is inevitable based on the sheer number of projects in the pipeline and underway, however, we do not believe it will reach the double digit highs seen in the early 2000s, with annual average growth of 7.5%forecast between 2011/12 and 2015/16.
Shortcomings in India's business environment are the primary reason for the construction industry's failure to unlock potential, specifically:
* India's business environment is so fraught with obstacles that it is virtually impenetrable for international investors working alone. For this reason we have seen some of the largest and most forthright construction companies forming local partnerships as well as funds and financiers taking equity stakes in companies already successfully operating in the sector. This has blocked a substantial portion of foreign direct investment, leading private investment to severely underwhelm and fall short of targets.
* The most pressing concern in India's construction sector as a whole is land clearance issues; insufficient compensation, unclear regulations and erratic and changeable decisions have been the primary source of delays in construction projects.
* Another concern is access to financing. Due to the short term nature of deposits in India, banks are unable to lend for the period required for infrastructure projects. Although the government has been quick to announce plans to increase liquidity and access to financing, it remains a key bottleneck.
Throughout our forecast period, infrastructure (one of the two subsectors which form construction industry value according to BMI's definition) will be the main driver of construction industry value, substantially outperforming its counterpart - residential and non-residential building. Both transport and energy and utilities infrastructure are in line for vast improvement and upgrades, however, some sectors are outperforming others:
* Power plants and transmission grids will be the main driving force behind infrastructure strength over the coming years. According to BMI's Key Projects Database, there are more than US$220bn projects underway and in the pipeline, which is driving our forecasts for annual average real growth in industry value of 15% between 2010/11 and 2015/16. Ambitious targets for solar, wind and nuclear are focusing investment in the sector.
* Airports have seen a substantial increase in investment over the past year, with both regional and international airport infrastructure being heavily invested in. Airports were one of the few sectors to have investment targets revised upwards following the mid-term appraisal of the 11th Five Year Plan (2007/08 - 2010/11), up from INR310bn (US$6.8bn) to INR361bn (US$7.9bn). We are forecast strong industry value growth of 11% between 2010/11 and 2015/16.
* Rail, specifically urban rail projects, have move to the forefront of transport investment due to inner city congestion. Metro projects are underway in Delhi, Hyderabad, Bangalore and Mumbai. This, combined with the Dedicated Freight Rail Corridor is driving our forecasts for annual average growth of 12% y-o-y between 2010/11 and 2015/16.

I am getting very exhausted chasing koobface around our network because of it grabbing people's names and then sending fake facebook messages. We have our network open to facebook and youtube for business reasons, so I can't just block access to those (the link in the email which spreads it quickly is for a youtube video that then infects the pc).... I have some network level antivirus, and use opendns with their web-filtering, but I am at a loss with how to stop this since our antivirus doesn't catch it on the PC's until it has already installed itself.
This topic was created during version 4.5.
The latest version is 7.5.00101.

You should check if your mailserver is an open relay.
Mar 1, 2010 at 1:34 UTC
According to Wikipedia: Upon receipt, the message directs the recipients to a third-party website, where they are prompted to download what is purported to be an update of the Adobe Flash player. If they download and execute the file, Koobface is able to infect their system. It can then commandeer the computer's search engine use and direct it to contaminated websites.
If this is in fact correct, could you not block access to said third party website? And if koobface has in fact been around for a year, why is your AV unable to prevent it's installation?

CoryK is correct, how is your AV missing this? Are you running something like ClamAV that does not have a real time scanning engine?
Mar 1, 2010 at 2:03 UTC
Niagara Technology Group (NTG) is an IT service provider.
To further what CoryK said, this isn't a virus but is a trojan (according to Wikipedia's description) that requires the users to download and install it themselves. If you just instruct people not to download purported updates to Adobe you should be okay.

SpiceWorks will not detect a virus because the virus will not install itself into the registry or into add/remove programs or any other operating system provided package management system. SpiceWorks reports on what the OS thinks is "installed", not what executables exist on the filesystem. You need something that scans the filesystem and that would be your antivirus.
You don't run SEP by any chance? ;)
Mar 2, 2010 at 1:09 UTC
We actually use AVG antivirus -- and I've found it to not be terribly effective until it is too late (eg.. the virus has already installed itself) but they aren't up on paying for any better antivirus programs such as from Trend, Sophos, etc... On all the computers so far, the antivirus has been up-to-date with the realtime scanner running, but it has slipped by each time.
I will try to see if it is a reliable 3rd party site the virus is coming from or some other "reliable" url expression that I could block either on our firewall or with dns...
Any input on affordable antivirus that works better? I am almost to the point of purchasing a bulk license pack of Malwarebytes Anti-malware program which is outstanding to remove these pesky trojans, but there again, is spending more money (which although it is less than $20/seat still adds up as the budget people would say).

Vipre by Sunbelt is very cheap and even cheaper through a partner and sometimes there is a discount if you are replacing existing AV. We are very happy with them.
Mar 2, 2010 at 1:25 UTC
We are running Trend Micro Office Scan here, and it's been very effective (centrally managed as opposed to the Symantec Corporate AV 8 (or something that was really ancient)) It's also competitively priced (at least competitive with the other AV suites that met our needs). My parents got one of those FakeAV things, and what I did was install SpyBot Search and Destroy. Then set it to update every Monday at 2:30 AM, and run a scan Mondays at 3:00 AM. This doesn't catch things beforehand, but it's set to remove them when it finds them. Haven't been called over since (well to fix their computer anyways)

My weekly trek out to Brookdale Fruit Farm in Hollis, NH is one of my favorite "chores." I love trying new veggies, and I truly anticipate each season's bounty.
That's me selecting some of their beautiful heirloom tomatoes. Local and seasonal eating is a cornerstone of the PCOS Diva philosophy. My Meal Plans are based upon eating with the seasons. Eating locally grown food in accordance to the seasons helps to create balance in your body.
As we head into cooler nights and shorter days, I turn towards more warming autumn harvest foods including squash, sweet potatoes, carrots, parsnips, onions and garlic. My cooking also emphasizes warming spices such as ginger, cardamom, chili powder, and cinnamon. Fall fruits like pears, apples and figs become a staple for snacks. Be sure to try my "Fall in a Bowl" recipe below, and check out the Fall Meal Plan.
Seasonal, local food is healthier
When you shop at your local farmer's market, the food is less likely to be covered with waxes, fungicides and preservatives and pesticides. Since there is little or no transit time, the produce is fresh and contains more nutrients. My body responds better to foods that are eaten locally and in season.
Seasonal produce is easier on the wallet
When you eat seasonal local food it is fresher and often less expensive than purchasing food that was grown on the other side of the globe. Living in New England, apples are abundant at this time of year. I can pick my own apples for $18 1/2 bushel. How do you like them apples? Especially when you consider Fuji Apples from New Zealand cost $2.00 a pound in the grocery store right now. It's the basic law of supply and demand, and when crops are in season, you'll be rewarded financially and nutritionally by purchasing what's growing now.
Eating seasonally avoids "food fatigue"
In my house, the most highly anticipated harvest is pomegranates towards the end of fall and early winter. I could buy a pomegranate from Chile in August, but it just doesn't seem right. I also love peach season which is just ending here in New Hampshire. Eating peaches in January just doesn't have the same panache. When we look forward to seasonal foods and avoid buying the flown-in version from across the globe, they become much more satisfying and special.
Fall fruits and veggies to look for:
Apples, Acorn Squash, Beans, Beets, Bok Choy, Broccoli, Broccoli Rabe, Carrots, Collards, Brussels Sprouts, Buttercup Squash, Butternut Squash,Cabbage, Cauliflower, Cranberries, Dates, Delicata Squash, Figs, Garlic, Grapes, Kale, Leeks, Lettuce, Parsnip, Pear, Pomegranate, Pumpkin, Spinach, Sweet Potatoes, Swiss Chard, Turnips, Watercress
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cups chopped onions (3 large)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons of cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 5 pounds butternut squash (2 large), peeled and cubed
- 1 1/2 pounds sweet apples, such as McIntosh (4 apples), cubed
- 4 cups chicken stock (if you don't use homemade use Kitchen Basics)
- Salt and pepper to taste.
Saute onions in butter/oil until soft and add spices. Add peeled and cubed squash, apples and chicken stock. Bring to a boil and then simmer until apples and squash are soft. Cool on stovetop and then blend using immersion blender or in a conventional blender. Season with salt and pepper to taste. This soup freezes well.

In the various roles he has undertaken through the years, Val J. Halamandaris has been a singular driving force behind the policy and program initiatives resulting in the recognition of home health care as a viable alternative to institutionalization. His dedication to consumer advocacy, which enhances the quality of life and dignity of those receiving home health care, merits VNA HealthCare Group's highest recognition and deepest respect.
- VNA HealthCare Group
I have the highest respect for them, especially for the nurses, aides and therapists, who devote their lives to caring for people with disabilities, the infirm and dying Americans. There are few more noble professions.
- President Barack Obama
Home health care agencies do such a wonderful job in this country helping people to be able to remain at home and allowing them to receive services
- U.S. Senator Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) Chair, Democratic Steering and Outreach Committee
Home care is a combination of compassion and efficiency. It is less expensive than institutional care...but at the same time it is a more caring, human, intimate experience, and therefore it has a greater human element...it's a big mistake not to try to maximize it and find ways to give people the home care option over either nursing homes, hospitals or other institutions
- Former Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Newt Gingrich (R-GA)
Medicaid covers long-term care, but only for low-income families. And Medicare only pays for care that is connected to a hospital discharge....our health care system must cover these vital services...[and] we should promote home-based care, which most people prefer, instead of the institutional care that we emphasize now.
- Former U.S. Senator Majority Leader Tom Daschle (D-CD)
We need incentives to...keep people in home health care settings...It's dramatically less expensive than long term care.
- U.S. Senator John McCain (R-AZ)
Home care is clearly the wave of the future. It's clearly where patients want to be cared for. I come from an ethnic family and when a member of our family is severely ill, we would never consider taking them to get institutional care. That's true of many families for both cultural and financial reasons. If patients have a choice of where they want to be cared for, where it's done the right way, they choose home.
- Donna Shalala, former Secretary of Health and Human Services
A couple of years ago, I spent a little bit of time with the National Association for Home Care & Hospice and its president, Val J. Halamandaris, and I was just blown away. What impressed me so much was that they talked about what they do as opposed to just the strategies of how to deal with Washington or Sacramento or Albany or whatever the case may be. Val is a fanatic about care, and it comes through in every way known to mankind. It comes through in the speakers he invites to their events; it comes through in all the stuff he shares.
- Tom Peters, author of In Search of Excellence
Val's home care organization brings thousands of caregivers together into a dynamic organization that provides them with valuable resources and tools to be even better in their important work. He helps them build self-esteem, which leads to self-motivation.
- Mike Vance, former Dean of Disney and author of Think Out of the Box
Val is one of the greatest advocates for seniors in America. He goes beyond the call of duty every time.
- Arthur S. Flemming, former Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare
Val has brought the problems, the challenges, and the opportunities out in the open for everyone to look at. He is a visionary pointing the direction for us.
- Margaret (Peg) Cushman, Professor of Nursing and former President of the Visiting Nurses Association
Although Val has chosen to stay in the background, he deserves much of the credit for what was accomplished both at the U.S. Senate Special Committee on Aging, where he was closely associated with me and at the House Select Committee on Aging, where he was Congressman Claude Pepper's senior counsel and closest advisor. He put together more hearings on the subject of aging, wrote more reports, drafted more bills, and had more influence on the direction of events than anyone before him or since.
- Frank E. Moss, former U.S. Senator
Val's most important contribution is pulling together all elements of home health care and being able to organize and energize the people involved in the industry.
Anyone working on health care issues in Congress knows the name Val J. Halamandaris.
- Kathleen Gardner Cravedi, former Staff Director of the House Select Committee on Aging
Without your untiring support and active participation, the voices of people advocating meaningful and compassionate health care reform may not have been heard by national leaders.
- Michael Sullivan, Former Executive Director, Indiana Association for Home Care
All of us have been members of many organizations and NAHC is simply the best there is. NAHC aspires to excellence in every respect; its staff has been repeatedly honored as the best in Washington; the organization lives by the highest values and has demonstrated a passionate interest in the well-being of patients and providers.
- Elaine Stephens, Director of Home Care of Steward Home Care/Steward Health Systems and former NAHC C
Home care increasingly is one of the basic building blocks in the developing system of long-term care. On both economic and recuperative bases, home health care will continue to grow as an essential service for individuals, for families and for the community as a whole.
- Former U.S. Senator Olympia Snowe (R-ME)
NCOA is excited to be part of this great event and honored to have such influential award winners in the field of aging.
- National Council of Aging
Health care at home…is something we need more of, not less of. Let us make a commitment to preventive and long-term care. Let us encourage home care as an alternative to nursing homes and give folks a little help to have their parents there.
- Former President Bill Clinton
Senator Susan Collins (R-ME) recently introduced the "Forty Hours is Full Time Act of 2013" - S. 701 - that would change the definition of a full-time employee in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) to those working 40 hours a week. Currently the ACA defines full-time as 30 hours a week. Starting in 2014, the ACA imposes a $2,000 employer penalty for each full-time employee — after the first 30 — where the business employs 50 or more full time equivalent employees, does not offer health insurance to all employees, and at least one of the employees qualifies for a federal subsidy to purchase health insurance.
Earlier this year, the Senate adopted an amendment to its budget resolution calling for a more reasonable definition of full-time employee in the ACA. S. 701 would be beneficial to home care agencies that are unable to provide health insurance and thus subject to the penalties. The 40 hour definition for a full-time employee would be more in-line with current employment practices, and would provide more leeway for home care providers who may be considering restricted working hours for their employees to avoid or reduce the penalties they currently face.
For more information about S. 701 and NAHC's position on the ACA employer obligations, please see NAHC Report April 26, 2013.
Senator Collins has asked for assistance in obtaining Senate cosponsors for this legislation. NAHC encourages its members who will be negatively affected by the ACA employer obligations to contact their Senators and ask that they cosponsor S. 701.
To send a written message through the NAHC Legislative Action Network, please follow the link to Contact your Legislators. When calling, ask the receptionist to connect you with the staffer who handles health issues.
