Fashion Trend: from 2012 to 2013
It's July and the time to think about the fashion dressing trend of 2013 and conclude the leading styles of 2012. We can forecast the tide of the future by doing that.
The past several months had witnessed the flourishing time for prom outfit of school girls. There are many types worth mentioning. Given below are four of the most popular trends for prom wears this year.
High- low attire: this is the most popular trend in 2012 which is featured in that the front half of skirt of the dress is short and the back half is long. Actually, Tango dancers are the inspiration of this attire for its beautiful silhouette. It can show the perfect long slim legs of a young girl. With the wind blowing, the tulle swings gracefully.
Column Gown: If you are looking for an elegant option for your prom that showcases how much you have grown up, then this straight cut, body-fitting outfit may be the wear for you. The pattern is simple yet alluring and will do complete justice to you.
Cutout Dress: A pattern that is picking up in a huge manner is that of the cutout outfit. It may seem a little bold. In fact, when it is worn in a slim and petite girl the whole impression leaving us is gentle womanlike. White is the fashionable option. A just married lady can choose it as garment while walking on a street. It will make you look a little mature than you really are.
Mermaid Gown: This is a style mainly for a wedding ceremony. However, mermaid prom wears become in vogue in this year's proms. A bright color always is fascinating. There is one thing need to take an attention which is this type needs the high quality of the body shape especially the lower part. In most case, a strapless mermaid version is a choice only thought by movie stars.
As to the prom dresses for 2013, many famous designers can give us some clues which is either elaborate or classic. Now, many retro styles have been pervaded in the world. And those designers such as Jovani, Sherri Hill and Mac Duggal make this year's high fashion trends spill down into the prom industry just like high school proms and other prom events.

This year's more fashion styles can be fond in discount prom gowns, prom dresses for 2013 and mermaid prom dresses.

Just spotted Michael Irvin and Daryl "Moose" Johnston along the near sidelines here at the Alamodome. He's shaking hands, getting some hugs in with some old friends in the Cowboys organization. Not surprisingly, there's a gathering crowd in the corner of the stands where the two are nearby. Irvin is visiting with some Cowboys personnel, while Johnston just got done signing a few autographs.
Aah, it's always a star-studded event here, isn't it?

Latest Videos from CTV Edmonton
City committee votes to force out Whitemud Park owners
Julia Parrish, CTV Edmonton
Published Monday, November 19, 2012 7:11PM MST
Last Updated Monday, November 19, 2012 7:14PM MST
The future of a long-standing amusement park in southeast Edmonton is looking less certain, after a city committee voted Monday to expropriate the owners, to make way for a proposed LRT line.
The city's Executive Committee supported a recommendation from city planners, and voted in favour of forcing the owners of the Whitemud Amusement Park out.
Click here to read the full report.
"We don't like to impact businesses obviously, but the LRT is one of those initiatives that we've said from day one is about improving our infrastructure in the City of Edmonton, and it's needed," Councillor Kim Krushell said Monday.
A lawyer for the park owners was at the meeting Monday, and urged councillors to relocate the business as part of the expropriation process – it's a possibility supported by the mayor.
"I think we maybe need to find another place where Whitemud Park could go," Mayor Stephen Mandel said. "I like to hit the baseballs too, and people like to ride in the go karts.
"So maybe there's an alternative we can find to help recreate that, but it's up to the individual."
One of the park's owners agreed.
"For our customers, I think relocation would be adequate, we've been in operation for a long time, and this is kind of like a known name in Edmonton," Whitemud Amusement Park owner Sukhy Aulakh said. "We would like to continue our operation as long as possible."
The expropriation still needs final approval from city council, construction on the southeast leg of the LRT is expected to start in 2014.

JERUSALEM (Aug. 5)
The Soviet authorities have recently raised the amount of money they demand for each exit permit issued to Jews wishing to emigrate, Jewish Agency Chairman Pinhas Sapir revealed here last night. This was one of the causes of the steady and ongoing drop in Soviet aliya, Sapir told the presidium of the Zionist General Council meeting under Council chairman Knesseter Yitzhak Navon.
In a wide-ranging review of aliya problems. Sapir said the recent "most favored nation" pact between the U.S. and Rumania gave reason for hope of an improvement in Rumanian aliya figures; South American aliya was falling despite the dangerous political and economic situation in some countries on that continent.
Soviet aliya figures for the first half of this year were 4710 compared with 9700 during the same period of last year and over 1400 for the same period in 1973. (The figure is of Soviet Jews actually reaching Israel.) During the last month only five hundred Soviet Jews have made aliya from the USSR, Sapir said. The main reason, he felt, was the hardening of the authorities' policy on emigration. The tax hike was an expression of this hardening.
The hardening had caused "some drop" in the number of Jews applying for exit permits, Sapir said, but more than 160,000 were on the waiting list, having applied in the past without success. As to the rise in the number of "noshrim" (emigrants dropping out at Vienna or elsewhere and heading west rather than to Israeli). Sapir said this was due in part to a deliberate policy of selection by the Soviet authorities. They specifically chose exit candidates considered likely to drop out and head west, Sapir indicated.
He saw some hope in reports from the U.S. and the Soviet Union's increasing dependency on American economic help in the field of grain and other areas. The Soviet Jewry campaign must watch for every opportunity of using this dependency as leverage in its efforts on behalf of would-be Jewish emigrants. Sapir said.
He noted that next month a conference of Jewish leaders would be held (in Paris, Sept. 2) to prepared the ground for a major international congress on Soviet Jewry planned for Brussels in February. The September conference would discuss practical ways in which Jewish organizations could step up their campaigns on behalf of Soviet Jewry, Sapir said.
Turning to Rumanian Jewry, Sapir said half of that community's 60,000 persons wished to emigrate to Israel. If the Rumanian government honored its undertakings in connection with the most favored nation agreement, Sapir said, there would be a considerable increase in aliya from Rumania. The increase already felt in June, had continued through July, he reported.
He expressed concern at the Jewish situation in South America, noting the political and economic instability of parts of that continent. Despite the evident uncertainties, however, aliya from there was falling this year. The Jewish Agency and the government had set up a joint committee to consider ways of tackling this problem.
Sapir expressed satisfaction at the results of the United Jewish Appeal (UJA) and United Israel Appeal (UIA) cash drives. So far, he said, UJA's cash income had risen by 38 percent; $166 million had already come in, compared with $121 million during the same period last year and $98 million in the same period of 1973.
Keren Hayesod had also registered notable achievements, with $96 million in cash already in this year compared with the same figure last year (which reflected the Yom Kippur War campaign) and $33 million the year before. These figures were especially encouraging, Sapir noted, when viewed against the backdrop of the world economic recession.

OAKLAND, California: Golden State's two key men made timely bids for inclusion in the NBA All-Star game by putting in powerful performances and leading the Warriors to a 104-99 win over the league-leading Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday.
On the eve of the announcement for the All-Star reserves, Stephen Curry had 31 points and seven assists while David Lee finished with 22 points and 12 rebounds for Golden State.
In other key games, Denver pulled away in the third quarter against a sloppy Houston, San Antonio overcame two key absences to beat New Orleans and notch a 15th straight home win, while Portland arrested a six-game skid and beat Indiana, dropping the Pacers out of the Central Division lead.
Golden State's Curry stole a pass from the Thunder's leading man Kevin Durant in the final seconds and hit a pair of free throws to seal the Warriors' third straight victory.
Durant had 33 points, nine assists and five rebounds for the Thunder, who blew an eight-point lead in the fourth quarter. Oklahoma City's lead over San Antonio at the top of the standings was sliced to zero games, ahead only on percentage.
The Spurs overcame the absence of the injured Tim Duncan and ill coach Gregg Popovich to beat the New Orleans Hornets 106-102.
Tony Parker had 24 points and 13 assists while Tiago Splitter added 25 points and seven rebounds.
Eric Gordon had 17 points for the Hornets.

James Harden scored 23 points for Houston, which has lost eight of its past nine.
The Portland Trail Blazers, who had lost their previous four home games, arrested the slide with a 100-80 win over the Indiana Pacers.
LaMarcus Aldridge scored 27 points and rookie gaurd Damian Lillard added 20 points and eight assists for the Trail Blazers, who shot a season-high 56.4 percent from the floor.
Paul George had 22 points and seven rebounds for the Pacers, who had won seven straight against Western Conference teams, their longest streak in nine years.
The Los Angeles Lakers' miserable season continued with a 106-93 defeat at the Memphis Grizzlies.
Darrell Arthur scored 20 points and Mike Conley added 19 for Memphis, which has won every one of the 12 games in which it's reached three figures.
Kobe Bryant scored 29 points for Los Angeles, which lost its seventh consecutive road game, and also center Dwight Howard, who missed the second half after aggravating his sore shoulder in the first half.
Brooklyn's Brook Lopez was another to strengthen his All-Star claims by leading the Nets to a 91-83 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves. He had 22 points on 10-for-16 shooting.
The Nets improved to 12-2 under interim coach P.J. Carlesimo, and they're 9-1 with their preferred starting lineup.
The Miami Heat came from 15 points down at home to beat the Toronto Raptors 123-116 in overtime.

The Chicago Bulls put in a furious fourth-quarter comeback to beat the Detroit Pistons 85-82.
Nate Robinson had 11 points and seven assists in 21 minutes off the bench, helping the Bulls to a win that moved them to the top of the Central Division standings, ahead of Indiana.
In other games, the Atlanta Hawks snapped a six-game losing skid in road games by beating the Charlotte Bobcats 104-92; the Utah Jazz held off the fast-finishing Washington Wizards and won 92-88, while the Phoenix Suns won their first game under new coach Lindsey Hunter, beating the Sacramento Kings 106-96.

I first saw these beans in a Deli in some sort of pickled form. I was curious to see if they could even be grown in the garden. Well, they can and we are happy to be offering this giant white bean. This huge Lima has a great savory flavor and smooth texture. It is fun to grow and can be stuck in just about anywhere it can move upward. Just give it something to climb on and off it goes.

"Ask away." She mumbled as she curled up to the couch more.
How did I go about this? I had never been a person to get tongue tied. Never was someone who didn't just speak their mind easily. I never even asked for things, just got them. Now here she is and she's changed everything. She's completely changed every aspect of my life...and I loved it. "Move in with me." I blurted out.
She sat up straight and faced me. "That wasn't a question..."
"That's true." I smirked at her. "Will you move in with me?"
"Draco..." She started but I cut her off.
"Hermione, you already basically live here as it is. But I was thinking... the baby needs her own room. Now I know you have the space but it wouldn't be good for her to be going back and forth. Please just think about it."
She didn't say anything at first. Just stared off into space. Then she smiled as she looked up at me. "I'll think it over, okay?"
"Good." I smiled back before joining her on the couch with high hopes that she would say yes.
The week went by without anything new happening. We weren't hiding our relationship per say but we never exactly came out and told everyone about us either.
And then I got a call from my mother.
"Draco darling... I've heard some news about you that I would like answers to." She seemed pissed. Well isn't that bloody fantastic.
"What do you want mother?" I'm sure she could tell I was rolling my eyes. Everyone underestimated my mother, which was dangerous to do. She was rather cunning. She had let herself fade into the background while my father had dominated everything but she always still had control of certain things. She was like a cobra, just waiting for the perfect time to strike.
"Well...I had a lovely little chat with Pansy, such a doll...just called me out of the blue to chit chat." Oh fuck. "And she told me that you're in a new relationship and I was a little disappointed you had not mentioned this to me."
"I wasn't aware that I had to report back to you. I'm not 12 anymore mother. I can do whatever I want." I snapped. She knew I had grown up too fast and now she was trying to fix that. She had been babying me ever since the war. I hated it.
"Now now, I didn't say that." She purred in her motherly voice. "I just thought you would mention something about it. But I guess I can see why you didn't want me to know."
"What are you implying?" I muttered.
"Are you ashamed of your relationship? The fact that her blood status is the very bottom?" I was about to butt in but she went on. "Or the fact that you got her pregnant this early on in a relationship?"
"What!?" I choked. "Okay, I'm not having this conversation over the phone. I'm coming over."
"I'll be expecting you shortly." She hung up.
I apparated to Malfoy Manor quickly and found my mother waiting in the kitchen. "Mother." I greeted her.
"Ahh Draco, there you are." She seemed to be faking her normal sweetness towards me.
"Let's just clear the air. Yes, I am in a relationship with Hermione Granger. Yes, I know she is a muggle born. Yes, know that looks bad for a Malfoy. No, I don't care." I stated bluntly. I just wanted this to be over with. I was going to kill Pansy. Why can't she just keep her mouth shut?
"And she's...expecting? This is true also?" She questioned.
"Yes she is pregnant and even though it is early on in our relationship I'm ready for it." I shrugged. What more did she want from me? I was finally happy.
She looked like she was torn. She must have noticed that I was happy and not trapped in this relationship like I'm sure she had originally thought. " I ...I thought you didn't want to have kids?" She mumbled, which was unlike my mother.
" I know, everyone keeps reminding me of that." I chuckled, more so to myself. " I guess once I was actually faced with it my opinion changed. I do want this baby. I'm unbelievable excited for it. Why can't you just be happy for me?"
"I'm trying. I'm also just trying to wrap my head around this." She crossed her arms and looked away.
"You're the one who always tells me that I need to date more, that I need to settle down and start my life. Now I'm doing that." She didn't respond. She knew I had caught her. I went on to tell her about the baby. "It's a little girl and she'll be here in about 19 weeks. " I couldn't stop the wide grin that plastered itself to my face.
She looked back and caught the smile that I couldn't hide. "Okay Draco, whatever makes you happy. I'm not going to try to understand the attraction."
My mother had been broken hearted when I called off the engagement with Astoria. She loved her, Astoria was in many ways like my mother. I did like her a lot. We had fun together and did spend a lot of time together easily. I liked her, but that was it. I tried so hard to fall in love with her. She did love me, but she wasn't in love with me either. We weren't two people who needed to be together. Our relationship was completely platonic. There was never an ounce of intimacy, even the few times we tried to force it. Though she loved me she knew that she could find someone who loved her back. And I knew that too, she was quite amazing. Just wasn't for me I guess. I ended up breaking the engagement just four months after becoming engaged. Neither of us were that torn up about it. But our parents were, they were outraged. Her parents hated me and my mother may have hated me for a while too. I tried to explain to them that I just couldn't marry someone that I wasn't in love with but they didn't really get it. My mother came around but Astoria's parents still hate me even though she went on to marry a very wealthy man who actually loved her and spoiled her to the core. She was happy and I was finally happy now too.
Then I thought of something. My mother had seen Hermione and I together once before. "Ahh but you do." I smiled. "Remember the beautiful girl I took with me to the benefit?"
Her jaw dropped. " You're not telling me that that was Hermione Granger?"
"It was. She's changed so much. She gorgeous and she's a total sweetheart." I knew my mom would like her if it wasn't for her blood status. My mother wasn't terribly strict about it, but she had grown up with beliefs that we are better than the "dirtier" blood types. She believed that but she didn't act upon it.
"That was really her? Maybe I should just meet her again." My mother shrugged. I knew she would come around, maybe she would never love Hermione, but she could tolerate her.
There was one other thing that I was debating on asking her. Should I tell her that I'm not the baby's father? I knew how she would respond if I did. She would be sickened that I was "cleaning up someone else's mess" and hate our relationship. As it stood right now I could get her to come around. What if I just never told her? She would find out, she always did. You can't sneak anything by that woman. She knows everything and everyone. "There is something else..." I started, waiting for her to acknowledge me.
"And what may that be?" She didn't look like she could handle any more news. She would either cry or flip out. I had to tell her though.
Now or never. "I'm not exactly the father. Not biologically anyway.." I trailed off.
She sighed harshly, pinching the bridge of her nose. "Really Draco? Why do you get yourself tangled up into messes like this?"
"I love her." I shrugged. As simple as that. I just love her.
"What?" My mother choked. That got her attention.
"I love her. I'm willing to get tangled up in this because I love her. I love every little aspect about her. I love the way she laughs, the way she makes me feel about myself, the way she's always right – even though I'll never admit to that to her – , the way she hogs the bed at night, the way she mumbles to herself as she reads, how she knows every little bad part of me and still wants to be around me, how she can make me happy so easily. I love her. And I'll love this baby."
She was silent for a minute. " So you're going to help raise this baby even though you're not its father?"She asked skeptically. " Are you sure you want to do this?"
"Yes and as far as anyone is concerned I will be her father. Maybe not by blood but as you know blood isn't what defines my life now." I spoke bluntly.
She was quiet for a bit."Well... I'm proud of you." My mother stood staring at me.
This shocked me. I just told her that I was in love with someone she wasn't fond of, that I was going to be a father, and that he baby wasn't really my baby. And she was proud of me? What? " You're proud?" I questioned.
"Yes. Even though I don't exactly agree with everything I think that you're doing what is right. If it's true and you're in love with this woman you shouldn't let anyone stop you, not even me. I want what's best for you, even if I don't like it. " she smiled at me. " I also think it's wonderful that you are so willing to take care of this child even though it's... she's not yours. It takes more than just making a child to be a father and you're proving that. "
"Thank you mother. " I smiled back at her and welcomed the embrace that she gave me. "I'll keep you in the loop with baby news... if that's what you want." I never really asked if she wants to be part of this. But I knew that my mother had a nurturing side that had mostly been curbed by my father when I was younger.
"We'll it will be my first grandchild! Expect her to be spoiled rotten!" My mother beamed. " keep me in the know darling . Also, why don't you and Hermione come by here sometime for lunch? I would love to speak with her." I gave her a warning look. " oh don't look at me like that! I'll be perfectly nice of course! I just want to get to know the woman who has stolen my son's heart. That's a pretty difficult task, you know." She winked at me.
"I'll see when we're both free and get back to you on that. I'm strangely looking forward to it. I'm sure you'll fall in love with her too!" I was sure of it.
"I'm also looking forward to it." I was about to leave when she spoke again. " Oh and Draco, I know why you didn't originally want children. Don't worry dear, you're ten times the man your father was. You'll be brilliant."

Holycross - Ballycahill
Mass of Remembrance -
Tonight, Wednesday, November 21st at 7.30pm in the Abbey a special Mass of Remembrance will be celebrated for all deceased parishioners and especially those who have died during 2012. After Mass refreshments will be served in the Abbey Restaurant.
Sympathy - Sympathy is extended to Nora Bourke, The Green, on the recent unexpected death of her brother Martin, Gurrane, Charleville, Co Cork and formerly of Garrenmore, Clonoulty.
Death of Pat O'Dwyer - The unexpected death of Pat O'Dwyer, Galbertstown Lr. occurred at his residence during the past week. His demise caused much regret in the parish. Almost ten years ago having disposed of his farm in Gurth, Hollyford and retiring from the land he came to Holycross with his wife Mary and family and took up residence in their new home. Pat was of a quiet unassuming disposition, kind and gentle, a man who was interested in Nature, loved to stroll through the woodlands in Dundrum and through the fields with his dog. He had an interest in the political life of the Country keeping up to date with the happenings by reading the daily paper and following the television and in discussion with friends. Peace to his kindly soul.
To his wife Mary, sons Tom and John, daughters Olivia and Maura we tender our sympathy. His remains were brought to St Joseph's Church, Hollyford on Thursday morning for Requiem Mass. After Mass he was interred in the adjoining cemetery. The large and representative attendance at the Mass and funeral was evident of Pat's popularity and that of his family.
Full notes in this week's Tipperary Star.

Date Night at the Museum
by Frank Griffin
Whether it's your first date or one of many, it's time to think outside the box. Why go for the common dinner and a movie or Netflix and chill, when Birmingham's museums have so much to offer?
If you're trying to come up with a creative way to spend a date, one with art, history, science and more – Birmingham's museums are a great way to do it.
Check out this short list of three museums in Birmingham and how they make a good date.
The hands-on style of exhibits at the McWane Science Center will let you and your date really get into it. So what if it's geared towards kids by making science fun and easy to understand – only you know that.
With the three levels of exhibits including aquariums with shark tanks, Dinosaurs, Art & Tech and an IMAX dome theatre this museum will make for an unforgettable date.
With more than 26,000 permanent collections you'll have plenty of beautiful works to admire – besides your date. Paintings, sculptures, prints and drawings from all over the world are on display at the Birmingham Museum of Art.
A must-see for music lovers, the Jazz Hall of Fame let's you view the actual instruments played by the greatest in Alabama Jazz.
Take your date to the top of the city. Located on Red Mountain, the Vulcan Center has the best views of Birmingham and an interactive history museum.
Don't forget to mention that the giant figure out front is the largest cast-iron statue in the world; dedicated to the iron and steel industry, it's also the official city symbol of Birmingham.
As you can see the best museums in Birmingham can also become the best dates.

Washington Academy, founded in 1780, later becoming Salem Central School, was among the first secondary schools in New York State. Maintaining quality educational programs has always been given a high priority. The district's buildings retain the charm of its early architecture and unique beginning.
The district has an enrollment of 586 students, K-12, on one central campus. This includes approximately 50 students from the neighboring town of Rupert who are enrolled in the secondary level program as part of a unique relationship with the state of Vermont. The 285 students in the elementary school are served by 22 classroom teachers as well as full-time professional personnel in the areas of art, music, physical education, and library science.
The K-6 structure offers both multi-age and traditional classes as well as a departmentalized approach in sixth grade. Also programs in Latin (grades 5 & 6), Reading Recovery (grade 1), and mentoring help to illustrate the emphasis placed on preparing students to become successful lifelong learners in a competitive society.
Salem's Washington Academy is comprised of grades 7-12 and strives to meet the needs of non-college and college bound students. More than seventy five percent of the student body typically chooses to pursue post secondary education. Others seek added skills training, enter the job market, or enlist in the military.
Thirty-five teachers serve approximately 283 students in academic, occupational, fine arts, and special education areas. Instruction in a second language (French and Spanish) begins in the seventh grade. Highlighting an excellent agricultural program is an on-site greenhouse in the high school courtyard. Expanded computer lab facilities provide students with the opportunity to develop this important technological skill. In addition, Advanced Placement English, History and Calculus are available to students in their junior and senior years as well as a science research course. Also through a NYS and federal grant, students in grades 7-12 are able to participate in a service learning program. Typically, students have logged in well over 5000 hours while completing service learning activities throughout our school and local community during each of the past five years.

According to Reuters, Standard & Poor's (S&P) Ratings Services has downgraded the corporate credit rating of Navistar International Corporation (NAV) to "B" from "B+". The cut in ratings can be ascribed to the operational and financial challenges faced by the company due to the refusal of Environmental Protection Agency (:EPA) to certify its engines with respect to emission standards.
Navistar has invested in research, development and tooling equipment to design engine products which will meet the EPA standard. However, without the certification of the engines the company will incorporate both its current emissions control and the competing urea-based technology.
The changeover would be increasing the costs along with production changes. Although modified engines will be marketable in 2013, their market acceptance may be somewhat challenging. Downfall in business along with escalating cost would create pressure for the company.
S&P has a negative outlook on the rating due to the expectation of operating loss for the full year. The company will also register a decline in sales of military vehicles and parts together with the deterioration in demand for medium-duty truck.
The company witnessed a loss of $137 million or $1.99 per share (excluding special items) in the second quarter of fiscal 2012. The results also missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate.
Revenues dipped 2.9% year over year to $3.3 billion, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate. The decline was attributable to a decrease in sales in Engine and Part segments, which was partially offset by higher sales in the Truck segment.
Warrenville, Illinois-based Navistar manufactures and sells commercial trucks, mid-range diesel engines, buses, military vehicles and chassis for motor homes and step-vans. It also provides service parts for various trucks and trailers. The company is one of the largest truck producers along with Daimler AG (DDAIF) and PACCAR Inc. (PCAR).
Currently, Navistar retains a Zacks #5 Rank, which translates into a short-term (1 to 3 months) Strong Sell rating. The company faces difficulty in obtaining smooth supply of materials due to its over dependence on a few suppliers.
In addition, strict regulation by the government also creates pressure on the company as it generates most of its revenues from services rendered to the government. We have a long-term (more than 6 months) Underperform recommendation on the stock.

The next morning, in spite of a downpour, Robbie went to the blind again. After all, the weather report was scattered thunderstorms. But they weren't scattered where we are. When he drove to where he normally parks the vehicle 8 deer jumped up and ran off, they were bedded down. Robbie saw 2 unidentified deer. That afternoon Robbie switched stands to a tripod in a strip of oak trees. As Robbie told me, "It was the best hunt I've ever had in my life, without killing a deer. I stopped counting after 25. The most outstanding part of the hunt was having two groups of 7 bucks. Both groups at two different times were all around me, eating acorns and browsing. I saw deer from the time I got into the tripod until I got out. I knew this narrow strip of woods was the place to be." Monday morning was very overcast with a light mist in the air. Robbie got to the tripod stand and settled in. At first light he saw deer down the strip to his left feeding under the many acorn trees. And coming in his direction. A four point was the first deer in. It walked between the legs of the tripod as it browsed on freshly fallen acorns. More deer came into the area. One was a very big doe. They browsed on the acorns for a long time. Robbie decided to take the big doe. He had his bow in his lap and slowly raised it. When he hooked his release on the string a deer behind him snorted. The doe ran 10 yards and stopped and looked back. The doe returned to the acorns. Robbie caught movement to his left and slowly turned his head just enough to see what was coming. It was a buck with a dark rack … with tall times … a ten pointer. The buck walked between the doe and the tripod and stopped 12 yards away and browsed near the doe. Robbie was still hooked up and had his bow in a ready position. Once again, the deer behind him snorted. It startled the doe and she bolted. The buck followed her at a walk. Robbie lost sight of the doe. The 10-point stopped and watched the doe. It was 30 yards away and standing broadside. Robbie drew his bow. Something made a little noise during the draw and the buck looked in Robbie's direction. Robbie was not on him yet and didn't want to make any motion and get busted. He held at full draw. Surprise! The 10-point walked directly at the tripod! Robbie realized that the buck planned on passing him but didn't know if he would pass on the right or left. It went left and stopped 6 yards away. Robbie was still at full draw and put his pin on his vitals and made his shot. The buck ran back the way it had come. Robbie knew he had a good hit but waited 45 minutes before he returned to camp. I was coming back from my blind when Robbie drove up. By the look on his face I knew he had something good to tell me. A tradition on our deer lease is that when someone shoots a buck everybody present helps recover it. We picked up Donald Duck and John Askew as well as Perry Wicker. Perry brought along his basset-corgi dog Shorty which he said could track the buck. Robbie's arrow was soaked with blood. We had a poor blood trail, however, that did not slow down Shorty. He walked slowly through the weeds, smelling them and pressing forward, right to the buck. Truthfully, we would have easily found the buck without Shorty's sharp nose, it ran 80 yards and collided with the fence near Robbie's Corner stand and dropped. Robbie has bowhunted for 20 years and this fat, big racked 10-point is his best buck yet. His broadhead was a 100 grain Grim Reaper RazorTip. He got a complete pass through and his arrow was sticking in the ground. The camouflage that all the deer and the buck did not see was Sticks N Limbs, complete with Sticks N Limbs face mask and cap. His bow was a Bear Code set at 60 pounds. Above is my hunting buddy of 20 years, Robbie Cramer with his 2009 bomber buck and me. Today it was Robbie's time for a big buck.

Ubiquinone, Ubiquinol, CoQ10: What's Real, What's Not.Written by Wellness Club on May 18, 2012 – 4:50 pm -
CoQ10 – Fact, Fiction, Hype, And Hocus-Pocus.
By Nurse Mark
I was speaking with a regular HealthBeat reader and WellnessClub member the other day, and she asked if I had seen an emailed article recently sent out by a group called "Off The Grid News" that purported to describe "A Dirty Secret About CoQ10." She was understandably concerned about some of the claims and assertions made in the article. While I am familiar with the blog, having followed their often very good writings for several years, I had not seen this most recent post – but I promised I would look into it.
I didn't have to look hard to find the email she referred to – and some things about it jumped out at me immediately.
First, it was not an article by Off The Grid News. In smaller print above the big, bold headline proclaiming status as a "Special Report" was this disclaimer: "Off The Grid News occasionally sends emails like this one to introduce major advertisers to our loyal readers and valued customers."
So, this isn't a true "news" article, it is a paid advertisement by a "major advertiser" – a company wanting to sell you something.
The advertisement, known in the ad industry as a "long-copy sales piece," contains plenty of impressive-sounding information. Unfortunately, much of it falls into the half-truth and hype categories. There is however enough truth mixed in to make everything seem quite plausible and believable. It was well-written sales copy!
The ad starts by proclaiming that most doctors are unaware of the effects of CoQ10 deficiency (that may be so, though research into CoQ10 has been ongoing since it's discovery over 50 years ago) and that Big Pharma is actively suppressing research on it.
Now, Big Pharma may be doing many bad things, but suppressing research on CoQ10 is not one of them.
In fact, when the first statin drugs were being tested in the 1980′s the pharmaceutical companies recognized that these drugs depleted CoQ10 levels, and combination drug that would combine a statin with CoQ10 was considered. This were turned down by the FDA and has not been offered since then because doing so now would be to admit there is a problem with statin drugs.
There are plenty of major studies both published and ongoing into the use and benefit of CoQ10 – and Big Pharma is actually involved in some of them. Big Pharma would love to figure out a new way to synthesize the stuff!
The ad goes on to say that CoQ10 "fuels your heart." This one falls into the "half-truth" category. CoQ10 is involved in the metabolism and energy production of every cell in your body – that's true. But it is not a "fuel" – it is a necessary player in the complex cellular process that allows your cells to use their fuel – which is either glucose or ketones.
The ad goes on to make much about "natural" versus "synthetic" CoQ10, telling us that we must use only the "trans-form" of CoQ10, and also that we must ensure that it was made using "yeast fermentation" because this is "the most effective form."
This, again, is in the "mostly, partly true" category.
The ad then goes on to tell us why their brand of CoQ10 is the best because it meets all these requirements, is used by folks just like you (just read the testimonials!), is guaranteed to be wonderful, is really, really affordable, and it will make you feel younger and healthier than ever before.
Well, here is a very brief summary of what you need to know about CoQ10 so you can make an informed decision when you are shopping:
- CoQ10 was discovered in 1957. It is also known as "Ubiquinone."
- In the mid 1970′s, a Japanese chemical company perfected industrial fermentation technology to produce pure CoQ10 in commercial quantities. This is known now as the "yeast fermentation" process and produces "trans," or "natural" CoQ10.
- Until recently, almost all available CoQ10 was produced by this one Japanese company. There is now a manufacturing plant in the USA producing CoQ10 – it belongs to this same Japanese company, the Kaneka Corp.
- Japanese industrial giants Nissin, Asahi and Mitsubishi are also known to produce commercial quantities of high-quality CoQ10.
- The "reduced" form of Ubiquinone is called "Ubiquinol." The body converts these substances back and forth in a cyclic manner as they each perform their specific functions in cellular metabolism.
- The CoQ10 form Ubiquinol tends to be unstable. Recent advances have allowed a more stable form of Ubiquinol to be made available and it is being marketed heavily as being "New" and "More Bio-Absorbable."
- There is another form of CoQ10 that is produced from tobacco stems and potato leaves and is considered to be the "cis" form. It is known as "solanesol" and is widely produced as an alternative to "yeast fermentation" CoQ10 by manufacturers in Korea and China. It is cheaper but less effective and absorbable.
- There is also a fully synthetic analog of CoQ10 called "Idebenone" that is produced by a Swiss pharmaceutical company and marketed under the drug names Catena and Sovrima.
- Other research advances are promising us "more bio-available" forms of CoQ10, including water-soluble and "nano" forms – but for now much of this is marketing hype and wishful thinking.
The chemical giant Kaneka Corp. makes much of the high quality CoQ10 available today, in both the Ubiquinone and Ubiquinol forms. They have chemical factories in both Japan and Texas. They do not sell their CoQ10 directly to consumers – they sell to other supplement manufacturers who use it to formulate their own products.
Kaneka allows users of it's CoQ10 to boast about this ingredient, taking advantage of Kaneka's marketing and advertising efforts, by letting them use the trade mark "KanekaQ10™" on formulations which contain it. However, Kaneka does not require this branding, and some supplement manufacturers prefer not to disclose the source of their ingredients. If you see the trade mark "KanekaQ10™" on a product you can be sure that there is at least some of it present (but no guarantee how much…) – but if the trade mark is not there, the product may still contain either "KanekaQ10™" or a good quality CoQ10 from one of the other big manufacturers (Nissin, Asahi or Mitsubishi).
So, how can you know what you are getting, quality-wise? Price.
In the world of CoQ10, price, not promises, is still what determines quality.
The Japanese chemical giants tightly control pricing for CoQ10 – and even though retail prices have come down slightly since Kaneka Corp began manufacturing this substance in Texas, they have a very tight cartel in place to control wholesale pricing just as OPEC does with crude oil.
If you find CoQ10 supplements being sold at unusually cheap prices there will be a good reason – quality. The product may contain Chinese or Korean (or other) semi-synthetic CoQ10, or the amount of CoQ10 contained may not be what is on the label. Some unscrupulous manufacturers may use the trade mark "KanekaQ10™" on their formulations but actually put only a tiny amount in the product, making up the difference with another, cheaper form of CoQ10.
Beware also of couple of other common ploys: one promises novel new delivery systems or "improved bio-availability" that allows smaller amounts of CoQ10 to be "just as effective" as larger doses, and the other is to use nasty fillers, colorings, dyes, oils, preservatives and impurities in the creation of the product in order to keep costs as low as possible and profits high.
Is "Made in USA" a guarantee of quality? Maybe, maybe not.
We know that there is one chemical factory in Texas that makes CoQ10 – it is the very same company that makes the very same CoQ10 in Japan. If "Made In USA" means that the product is in fact made here of all US materials then this probably means quality is good. But a product made here with CoQ10 produced in Japan is likely to be equally good quality.
On the other hand, product "Made in USA" with CoQ10 and other materials from somewhere like China or Korea must be looked at with suspicion. How will you know? Again, price.
More CoQ10 "Hype" to beware of:
"bio-identical to that produced naturally within the body" – While this is true, it is just another way of saying that it is derived from yeast fermentation.
"up to 5 times greater absorption than other varieties" – Really? What "other variety" is that? Got proof? This may be true, but it is more likely hype.
So what can you believe?
CoQ10 – Ubiquinone – is a vital nutrient: no argument there!
Ubiquinol, the reduced form of Ubiquinone, is also a vital substance – that the body makes from Ubiquinone.
Only a very few people might benefit from using the reduced form, Ubiquinol, instead of Ubiquinone despite the advertising hype surrounding this newly available form of CoQ10. There is only one human study so far showing the effectiveness of this new form, versus the hundreds of peer-reviewed studies showing the effectiveness of Ubiquinone.
Dr. Jonathan Wright has jumped onto the Ubiquinol bandwagon but Dr. Alan Gaby, who lectures with Dr. Wright, prefers the tried-and-true form Ubiquinone. Given the hundreds of studies proving the benefit of Ubiquinone versus the one for Ubiquinol Dr. Gaby's comment was: "when it comes to CoQ10, I'll leave with the girl I came with!"
The molecules that are Ubiquinone and Ubiquinol are what they are: no amount of "improved bio-availability", "nano-particle technology", "micronization", or other scientific-sounding mumbo-jumbo will make a better molecule. If the molecule is actually changed, then it's not CoQ10 anymore!
As with any supplement, the most expensive supplement is the one that doesn't work! Be sure to get the very best quality or you will be wasting your money – no matter how "good" the price is.
How can the average person negotiate the minefield of quality control when it comes to supplements like CoQ10?
Easy – you let someone like Dr. Myatt look after that for you. Known as "The Dragon Lady" in the supplement industry because of her no-compromise approach to quality, her medical knowledge and biochemistry background allow her to ask the hard questions and demand straight answers from her suppliers. She isn't easily impressed, and is never swayed by hyper and advertising claims. If Dr. Myatt offers a product you can be sure that it meets her strict standards for purity, potency, and effectiveness! It may not be the cheapest, but you can be sure that it is the best – and is your health worth the cheapest, or is it worth the best?

It happened routinely during Roger Clemens's long and legendary baseball career: The pitcher won a game and then autographed baseballs for fans, who left the ballpark with smiling faces.
What a difference a change of setting can make.
Not long after the judge overseeing Clemens's perjury trial in the District's federal court declared a mistrial in July, several courthouse security officers received baseballs signed by Clemens.
It's not entirely clear who sent them, why they were sent or whether anyone at the courthouse expected them — just that someone associated with Clemens's defense team gave a half-dozen balls to a guard, who handed them out. On Tuesday, the U.S. Marshals Service confirmed an investigation into the matter, in which as many as six guards received balls.
There is no indication that Clemens or his attorneys face penalties in connection with the signed balls. But the guards, whose identities have not been disclosed, could face dismissal or other penalties, according to sources familiar with the probe.
The guards, who work for a private security firm, are not allowed to accept gifts from defendants. Baseballs signed by Clemens fetch between $100 and $400 at online retail sites, depending on their condition and the circumstances of the autograph.
The Marshals Service said it asked the security firm to investigate the matter last week in response to a reporter's questions about the balls. That company, California-based Inter-Con Security Systems, will report on its findings, after which the Marshals Service will decide whether to take further action.
A Marshals Service spokeswoman, Lynzey Donahue, declined to discuss specifics of the case but said in a statement that a preliminary investigation revealed that "up to six baseballs were given to a contracted court security officer and were distributed among four or five other court security officers."
Donahue said a "preliminary inquiry indicates that no U.S. Marshals personnel received any memorabilia from the Roger Clemens defense team."
Lance Mueller, chief operating officer of Inter-Con Security, said the "investigation is active, and we hope to wrap it up soon." Inter-Con has a contract worth $5.2 million a year to provide security at the courthouse in the 300 block of Constitution Avenue NW.
Clemens's lead attorney, Rusty Hardin, declined to comment on the matter last week, and he did not respond to e-mails seeking comment Tuesday.
His client, baseball's most decorated pitcher, did not appear to receive any special treatment from the security officers during his abbreviated perjury trial, which started early last month.
Clemens entered the courthouse as anyone else would, ate in the cafeteria and left by public entrances. For security reasons and to prevent the disruption of other courthouse business, the guards helped shepherd Clemens past a battalion of reporters and photographers as he left the courthouse after the mistrial was declared July 14.
The balls, which arrived at some point after Clemens left the courthouse, might have been a thank-you gift from the defense team for such help, according to sources familiar with the investigation.
Outside legal experts said sending balls to the guards was not a smart move but is unlikely to result in sanctions against Hardin or his team. The guards are also unlikely to face criminal charges, legal experts said.
A hearing to decide whether Clemens can be retried has been set for Sept. 2.
"It would have been more prudent to wait to send the balls until the case was completely over," said Steven Levin, a criminal defense lawyer and former federal prosecutor. "I don't know what the rush was to do it. . . . The court might view it as a exercise of poor judgment. But I don't think anyone would view this as a criminal conduct."
Clemens is charged with lying to Congress in 2008 when he denied having taken performance-enhancing drugs. The high-profile perjury trial came unglued two days into testimony when federal prosecutors blundered and presented barred evidence to the jury. U.S. District Judge Reggie B. Walton declared a mistrial and is weighing legal arguments about whether federal prosecutors should get another crack at the 11-time all-star.
The mistrial was an embarrassment for the Justice Department, and the prosecutorial error clearly irked Walton. Whether Clemens's attorneys end up in foul territory with the judge remains to be seen.

What's Involved
EMDR is short for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. It's not yet known exactly which components (or combination of components) are responsible for its effectiveness. But lots of research has proven its effectiveness a treatment for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Here's an overview of what happens in EMDR sessions:
- First of all, EMDR involves at least one 'preparation' session before dealing with specific memories. I will not describe those here, except to they're no big deal and make sure that the 'memory-processing' sessions go well.
- The client begins the 'exposure' phase of sessions by focusing on the most distressing image associated with the traumatic experience, plus the emotion accompanying the image, how that emotion feels in the body, and an associated negative belief about oneself (e.g., 'I deserved it,' or 'I'm unlovable.'). Unlike traditional 'exposure treatments,' you don't need to describe the memory in detail, and you can even just focus on those aspects of the memory without having to say them out loud.
- Then, while holding in mind the most distressing image/emotion/body sensation/cognition, and not speaking, the client tracks the therapist's moving finger or a moving light, as they move back and forth across the visual field, for 10 to 40 seconds. (Other, non-visual options are alternating sounds or tapping sensations.)
- The client is told, in advance, that during any set of eye movements his or her experience may or may not change, and is not 'supposed' to do anything. Basically, the therapist trusts your mind and brain to go where they need to go (but is always ready to help if something starts to become overwhelming).
- After each set of eye movements, the client is asked, 'what are you noticing?' (which is briefly reported, though the client can choose not to say anything), then directed to 'go with that' for another set of eye movements (while not talking), after which they are again asked, 'what are you noticing?' This basic, repeated sequence is the core and the majority of an EMDR session.
- If the client associates forward or backward in time, to earlier or later parts of the traumatic event, or even to completely different past events, thoughts about the future, or entirely new ideas, this is all normal and acceptable. The therapist simply checks in after each set of eye movements with 'what are you noticing,' without discussing what the client reports, and directs the client to 'go with that' into the next eye movement set. (Again, if the client starts getting overwhelmed, the therapist will intervene to prevent the experience from becoming traumatic.)
The above shows very clear differences between EMDR and traditional exposure therapy, which requires clients to narrate memories out loud and in detail, from start to finish. Obviously, many people do not want to do that.
Associations and Transforming Memories
Everything about EMDR allows the client to 'associate' to different memories, themes, and ideas – including positive ones. In fact, anyone who has any experience at all with EMDR, as a client or therapist, is quickly impressed by just how many such associations and connections occur during EMDR sessions.
When such associations arise in EMDR sessions, clients are able to transform painful or traumatic memories into ones that are woven into new webs of associations.
Rather than the same old horrible images, feelings, and thoughts, the memory becomes much less distressing or no longer distressing at all. It becomes connected to thoughts, feelings and body states involving things like safety, comfort, and kindness toward oneself. It's still a memory of something bad that happened, but it's not an overwhelming memory. it's not one you struggle to push away out of fear or shame.
That's where any good therapy approach for dealing with memories of unwanted or traumatic experiences will take you. But EMDR has a way of doing it much more quickly and with less distress than most other approaches.
Of course, as we cover under Stages of Recovery, there's more to healing and recovery than transforming memories, which is a focus on the second stage of recovery.
But transforming such memories can be a huge relief, and some therapists who use EMDR are good at stage-oriented treatment of men with histories of unwanted or abusive boyhood sexual experiences.
Finding Help, Learning More
To find an EMDR therapist near you, use the Find a Therapist service of the EMDR International Association. EMDRIA's primary objective is to "establish, maintain and promote the highest standards of excellence and integrity in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) practice, research and education."
If you're interested in reading scholarly papers on EMDR, a good place to start is an article by Susan Rogers and Steven Silver, Is EMDR an exposure therapy? A review of trauma protocols. The discussion above overlaps with theirs in many ways, but they provide much more theory and references to relevant scholarly work. They also provide case examples, which give a feel for the treatment and how it can help unique individuals. The article is one of several articles in a special January 2002 issue of the Journal of Clinical Psychology on EMDR. Another excellent (and brief) article on EMDR describes why, to quote the title, "EMDR minus eye movements equals good psychotherapy."
Bottom Line
There are effective and relatively rapid methods for dealing with intensely distressing memories. You do not have to be tortured by them for years.

Occupying an area of 55,658 sq km, Himachal Pradesh is located in the north west India. Bordering it in the north and north west is the state of Jammu and Kashmir while the south of the state are the states of Haryana and Uttar Pradesh. The south east and south west region is occupied by Punjab and Uttaranchal respectively. Lastly, to its east lies Tibet. The beautiful hill station of Shimla is the state capital.
Predominantly a mountainous state, Himachal Pradesh has been referred as the Dev Bhoomi in the ancient scriptures. Today, it is a huge drawer of tourists because of the plethora of attractions it offers in form of sightseeing and fun activities. However, the most important amongst these are the terrific natural beauty of the area - verdant green valleys surrounded by snow clad peaks, roaring rivers, gurgling streams, serene lakes and dense forests of deodar and oak. Spiritual calm in such surroundings is always forthcoming.
Significance of Buddhism in Himachal Pradesh
Buddhism was introduced in Himachal Pradesh in 3rd Century BC by the great Mauryan Emperor Ashoka. He ordered the construction of numerous stupas in the state. One of these stupas that existed in the Kullu valley also finds a mention in the accounts of the Chinese traveller Hiuen Tsang.
Today, even though the majority of population is Hindu, yet the Buddhist influence is strong in the state. The primary reason for this is the presence of His Highness, the Holy Dalai Lama (14th), Tenzing Gyatso. Way back in the 1960s, when the Chinese invasion took place in Tibet, the exiled Dalai Lama, along with his 85,000 Tibetan followers took shelter in a former British cantonment, Mc Leodganj. His effort have not only ensured the progression of Tibetan culture in the state but he has also become a focus of entire Tibet Buddhism for the last four decades. His Holy Highness imparts teachings on the philosophy of Buddhism both by himself on regualr basis and also on the request of various Buddhist devotees from Taiwan and Korea. Because of this, the Buddhist movement has regained its lost momentum.
Apart from Mc Leodganj in the upper Dharamshala, the Lahual and Spiti valley also have a strong Buddhist presence. These areas have a number of gompas and monasteries that stand in a rugged terrain preserving the Buddhist art and culture with steadfastness.
Major Buddhist Places in Himachal Pradesh
- Mc Leodganj : Situated in the upper Dharamshala in the state
is Mc Leodganj, a thriving centre of Tibetan Buddhist faith. It has been
the abode of the exiled Dalai Lama of Tibet for four decades now. It is
here that he conducts his teachings and the complex Kalchkra ceremony.
- Rewalsar : This place commands respect among the Buddhist
devotees because of the belief that it was from here that Guru
Padmasambhava set out on his journey to Tibet in order to propogate
dharma. He is known by the name of Guru Rimpoche, the Precious master
and is responsible for spreading mahayana Buddhism in Tibet. The
Rewalsar Lake is believed to be inhabited by the spirit of
Padmasambhava. Two Tibetan monasteries also stand on the opposite end f
the lake.
- Lahaul Spiti : The valley of Lahaul and Spiti are home to a
number of famous Buddhist monasteries and Gompas. Tourists from all over
the world come here to pay a visit to these Buddhist monuments.
- Kinnaur : One of the less visited districts of Himachal
Pradesh, Kinnaur lies close to the Indo Tibet border. Its proximity to
Tibet, the people of Kinnaur are heavily influenced by the Tibetan
lifestyle. Hinuds are in majority but Buddhists too form a considerable
population, primarily in the northern and centrak region. Almost all the
village have a gompa or a temple. Some of the famous Buddhist places
include the village of Morang, Puh, Nako and Chango.
Major Buddhist Monuments In The State
- Tabo
Monastery : At an altitude of 3050 m in the valley of Spiti,
the Tabo monastery complex covers an area of 6300 sq m. It was
established by a distinguished scholar Richen Zangpo in the 996 AD, as
an advanced centre of learning. The significance of this monastery is
immense since it happens to be the most important one after the the
Tholing Gompa in Tibet in the entire Himalayan region. There are total
of nine shrines in the complex, out of which the most important one is
The Temple of the Enlightened Gods (Tug-Lha-khang). Within this temple,
there is a four fold figure of Vairocana and paintings that depict the
life of Gautam Buddha at various stages of his life.
- Kye
Monastery : The Kye Monastery dates back to 1000 AD and has
faced many attempts to destroy it. However, today, it still stands and
is recognised as a one of the prime religious training centres for
Lamas. The monastery consists of an image of Buddha in the dhyana
position. Recently, in the year 2000 AD, the Kye monastery celebrated
the grand Kalchakra Ceremony which saw the presence of the Holy Dalai
Lama. The monastery is located 12 km north of Kaza and is the oldest and
the biggest monastery of the valley perched 4116 m above Kye village.
- Guru
Ghantal Monastery : This monastery, located on the right bank
of the river Chandra on a hill above the Tupchiling village, is the
oldest one in Lahaul area. The monastery was founded by Guru
Padmasambhava some 800 years back. It houses an idol of Guru
Padmasambhava along with images of Brajeshwari devi and several other
lamas. The idols of this monastery are different from that of other
monastery because they are made up of wood instead of clay. Previously,
a festival by the name of Ghantal was celebrated in the monastery
wherein visiting lamas and Thakurs feasted for one complete day. This
festival is no more celebrated.
- Shashur
Monastery : Shashur Monastery was established by Lama Deva
Gyatsho of Zanskar in the 17th century AD. He was the missionary of the
king of Bhutan, Nawang Namgyal and hence the lamas of this monastery are
the follower of the Drugpa sect or the red hat sect ( which was founded
by the king). The monastery houses the big thanka paintings, over
fifteen feet, as well as wall paintings that depicts the 84 siddhas of
The location of the monastery amidst beautiful blue pine trees is attractive. Infact, the name sha-shur itself means in the blue pines in the local language. In the month of June/July, the performance of Chham attracts loads of tourists to Shashur Monatery.
- Dhankar Monastery : Located 25 km east of Kaza, the Dhankar Monastery is important for the Buddhists of the eastern part of the central Spiti. The presiding deity of the monastery is the statue of "Vairochana" (Dhayan Buddha) consisting of 4 complete figures seated back to back. The monastery also safeguards Buddhist scriptures in Bhoti language as well as relics in the shape of paintings and sculptures.
Other Major Attractions in Himachal Pradesh
- Shimla : The erstwhile summer capital of the British in
India, Shimla is today the capital of the state of Himachal Pradesh. The
natural beauty of Shimla is heartening with its snowcapped peaks,
apples, pine forests, and flowers. The Mall is at the centre of
atttraction in Shimla. Other attractions of this pretty hill station
include waterfall, state museum and library and Hindu temples.
- Manali : The most significant town in the Kullu valley,
Manali is around 274 km away from Shimla. With towering Pir Panjal, Bara
Banghal ranges and Beas river contributing to enhance the beauty of the
place, Manali is every nature lover's delight. Moreover, there are also
options for those who love to get a bit adventurous.
- Palampur : Palampur is at a distance of around 38 km from Dharamshala in the Kangra valley. Palampur's attraction mainly lies in its tea plantation. The vast stretch of greenery exudes a refreshing beauty. The tea grown here is marketed by the name of Kangra Tea in both national and international destination. There is also an important monastery Tashijong located in the close vicinity of the town (just 12 km away). This monastery was constructed after the Dalai Lama came and settled in India and has carpets, Buddhist tangkha paintings and other Tibetan craft up for sale.
How to Reach
By Air - Himachal Pradesh has three airports at Bhuntar, Gaggal, and Jubbarhatti. Indian Airlines Flights from here connect the state to destinations like Delhi and Chandigarh regularly. However, there is no international airport in Himachal Pradesh.
By Rail - Being a high altitude region, Himachal Pradesh does not have an extensive rail network. Only few places are connected by rail, the longest one of which runs from Pathankot in Punjab to Jogindernagar in Himachal Pradesh. Few other railway track are there in Shimla, Solan, and Una.
By Road - The state, despite all the difficulties pertaining to the construction, has a good network of road. Nearly all the places that are important ae connected by road. However, many of these are closed down during the monsoon and winter months because of heavy snowfalls and landslides.

Seattle Wedding Photography | Jessica+Mikiya | Within SODOTuesday, April 15th, 2014
Jessica and I met over a cup of coffee in downtown Seattle. We gabbed for over an hour about her wedding day as well as other things. And by the end of our chat, we were the perfect bride/photographer match. I love how easy going Jessica is and I know I didn't have to meet Mikiya to know how special he is as a person simply because of what she had told me about him.
On their wedding day, the weather Gods spoke to us and parted their 60% chance of rain cloud for a little over an hour so we can take some gorgeous photos of this gorgeous couple. Literally the moment we were finished, it started pouring cats and dogs. Now THAT'S good luck right?
Congratulations to Jessica+Mikiya…our first 2014 wedding! We couldn't be more happier for them and we hope you enjoy their photos!
There's more photos in Jessica+Mikiya's slideshow below. If you are on an iPhone or an iPhone, click HERE.

The summary is: No, due to the fact the accelerations are too un-uniqe. They might happen while walking, or anywhere else... I personally do like this idea, but I think it's too hard to implent...

False advertising fills the airwaves: "the secret credit card companies don't want you to know."
The secret?
They don't tell you is, you pay, and get no guarantee of anything.
The State of Ohio busted a foreclosure scam outfit operated with attorneys.
Check with your state's Attorney General's office.
Better Business Bureau, not so much.
These scam outfits are springing up like mushrooms in a wet, neglected basement, and many will fold, move on, and re-open with a different name before much of a record can be gathered on them.
Common foreclosure avoidance scams are highlighted in the linked to post.
"Any group that uses a name like "Federal Loan Modification Center" is inherently bad. The use of such names is done with the intent to give the impression that the entity is somehow affiliated with the federal government or has special access to government programs. Therefore, it is not engaged in a legitimate business operation."
So says one informed consumer attorney.
Which attorneys which "comprise" the company?
And what about the "real estate consultants" (er, I mean, the former mortgage brokers and real estate agents that got folks into these crappy loans in the first place)?
How is it that attorneys are able to split business with non-attorneys when they are supposedly practicing law?
That's a violation of most if not all states' ethical rules.
And these online lawyers are always out of state, so it is hard to chase them, and useless to report them to your state's Bar Association.
You find out that the company is owned and operated by some blowhard realtor who is selling his books – Foreclosure for Dummies and Short Sales for Dummies, if you google the name and check out the website.
Perhapshe has managed to get some of the news organizations to let him shoot his mouth off, because apparently, when some realtors take their 2 month training courses (if that) about how to sell real estate, they get an entire law school education on reading statutes, contract law, real estate law, fraud, unfair and deceptive acts, etc. so are free to give out legal advice.

With markets looking a little weak in the near future, you're probably thinking about picking up some defensive stocks to help stabilize the portfolio. Just remember you're not the only one with this idea. Here's what's become of some of the more perennial defensive stocks have done in recent weeks -- Procter & Gamble (PG), Exxon (XOM), ConAgra (CAG), Visa (V) and Pfizer (PFE). Here's evidence in a stock chart.
Buying in some others started even earlier -- Wal-Mart (WMT), Costco (COST) and Target (TGT).
There are several reasons for today's popularity of defensives; those big, steady, dividend-paying shares investors want when they fear the market is overbought and about to get rough. First, the earnings season underway now sounds a little downbeat. Analysts expect overall earnings declines for the first time in three years. Secondly, the good news from Europe, such as it was, is over for now. Also, QE3, the Federal Reserve action investors loved to anticipate with little buying sprees, is a done deal now. Put these issues against the good gains the market has seen in the past 12 months and you get a lot of interest in defensives.
In fact, that run has been so good that some of the go-to stocks for defensive plays are getting sold now because they look expensive. Take utilities, the uber-defensives. They're going down now after their share prices ramped up beyond ordinary valuations for them, as YCharts' Carla Fried reported.
So what's still on the table for a value investor looking for defense? We set up the YChart Stock Screener to help us look for prospects in companies selling essentials or cheap diversions. We set the screener to find big market caps, decent dividends and reasonable price earnings ratios. Here are a couple of ideas from that list; one conventional, the other…not so much.
McDonald's (MCD)
McDonald's has produced some frowns on Wall Street this year as it turned out same-store-sales figures ever so slightly below analysts' forecasts and warned that, yes, it really is going to be hard to sell a whole lot more burgers in China and Europe this year.
But no one really believes McDonald's is about to hit seriously hard times. Its share price is still up 14% this year. That's largely because charting McDonald's returns paints a picture of just what investors want in a defensive stock: a company whose share price can grow even as the rest of the market goes to hell.

Submitted by: Robin Dake
I signed up for the Warrior Dash last week.
The Warrior Dash is a 3-mile cross country foot-race that involves obstacles like a mud pit with barbed wire overhead, a pond with logs to clamor over and a line of fire crossing the path to the finish line. I think it was the flames that made it most appealing. My 15-year-old daughter will be joining me, though I suspect I will only see her at the starting line and after crossing the finish.
Signing up really doesn't make sense for me. I am not in any kind of racing shape – light years away from the strong, lithe, athlete I was in college when I thought my body and my dreams would never decay.
I do yoga and walk my dog, but I think a race that includes hopping over a series of walls and leaping across floating platforms involves a lot more than that. I definitely could have found other things to do with the $100 registration fees, but somehow, after hearing a description of the event, the urge to sign-up was irresistible.
I need to reacquaint myself with my inner warrior.
At one time, we were inseparable companions. We rode horses bareback across bumpy pastures, pretending to be Indian princesses. We raced through cross country courses with long spikes and sharp elbows, and we pulled on a backpack and set out on the Appalachian Trail all alone. We were brave and daring and dashing.
Somehow along the way, we lost contact. I didn't hear from her as much and my life became less dashing, more about seatbelts and insurance policies. I got married and became a mother. I focused on my career and keeping my house clean. Then my marriage faltered and fell apart. I no longer heard the voice of my inner warrior-girl.
Just a few weeks ago, someone mentioned the Warrior Dash to me, and I remembered my old friend. I thought I heard her whisper to me, speaking soft words about challenge and bravery heart and joy. It was hard to clearly understand her.
And yet, the urge to sign up for the race was there. Running through mud and flames doesn't feel like anything after going through a divorce. Those things are tangible, visible obstacles standing between me and the cool t-shirt. They don't sneak up from behind and grab your ankles, dragging you down into a mire of frustration and depression. They are conquerable objects rather than things that must be endured and moved through.
Furthermore, with this challenge, I am in control. On that particular day in May, for 3 miles, I will know that hard things are facing me and I will need strength and stamina to get through them. I have time to prepare. It's up to me to get in shape and build my wind back up. Whether or not I run the whole way or walk after the first hundred yards is totally in my control.
My Warrior-Girl is speaking to me once more. She tells me to go out the door at 5:30 a.m. to run up and down the road. She reminds me that an extra cookie might not be a good idea and she pushes me to do an extra pushup in morning yoga. At first her voice was quiet, way back and low. Now I hear her more loudly and more clearly.
So, we will go to the starting line together again. Whether we will run or walk, I don't know. What I do know is it feels good to be reacquainted with my friend Warrior Girl and I hope on that day in May, she is shouting with joy.
