Melissa Clements, who owns Eco Friendly Flooring in Madison, Wisconsin, says shopping for green flooring requires research—not only on the product in general, but also on the manufacturer. For example, it might be important to you that the flooring comes from and is made in the U.S., or that fair labor practices are in place.
If you're not sure, just ask. And, if you don't get a straight answer, move along. The idea behind green flooring is that it lasts the lifetime of your home, so it's important to be comfortable with every detail.
To get you started, here is Clements' primer on four green flooring options that are as functional and durable as they are stylish:
What it is: This durable, allergy-free flooring, made from strips of bamboo plant, is a great alternative to hardwood. Bamboo is environmentally sustainable and it matures in about five years, compared to decades for other hard woods.
Did you know: Although bamboo typically has a sleek, contemporary look, owners of older homes can treat unfinished bamboo with wax or oil to give it more of an aged look. If you're looking for floors with character, don't rule out this material. Also, it won't collect dust and pet hair like carpet, so it's great for people with allergies.
What it is: This naturally insulating flooring is harvested from the thick bark of the cork oak tree. The actual tree is not cut down or harmed, and the bark begins to grow again within a few years.
Did you know: Cork is naturally antimicrobial and insect resistant, and it doesn't spread flames. It also gives a bit—while it's not squishy or bouncy—you'll notice that it's comfortable to stand or walk on for long periods of time. For this reason, think about using cork in the kitchen. Like bamboo, cork won't collect dust and pet hair, so it's a good option for people with allergies.
What it is: Carpet squares fit together to make custom rugs or flooring. Clements recommends carpet tiles made by Flor®. The company uses recycled and renewable materials. When you're done with your tiles, Flor® takes them back and recycles them into new products.
Did you know: While you might think of carpet squares as basic solutions for the garage, basement, or playroom, today's stylish textures, patterns, and colors make them a smart fit for the rest of the house (Martha Stewart even has her own Flor® line). Visit flor.com for more information.
What it is: Salvaged materials, from wood to roofing slate, are being reused to create floors with character. "People are clinging to the old right now," Clements says. Where to get the materials? Everywhere from neighbors who are tearing up and discarding their hardwood floors to demolition brokers who are trying to get rid of structural beams and more from old factories and warehouses.
Did you know: You'll likely pay a bit more for hardwood floors if you use reclaimed wood. "We have very little old stuff" in the U.S., Clements says. "It's supply and demand." Usable material comes from a relatively small window of time, from the late 1800s to the 1960s.

#VIVO15 Conference Materials Now in Figshare!
Submitted by on Mon, 2015-09-21 08:55
We are delighted to partner with figshare to make #VIVO15 presentations openly available through their new figshare for institutions service. This makes the terrific work of the VIVO community more accessible than ever in a beautiful, easy-to-use interface. Moreover, the materials are now persistent and citable with a DOI. Our sincere thanks to the figshare and Digital Science teams for their work to make this possible!
--Kristi Holmes & Melissa Haendel, 2015 VIVO Conference Chair & Program Chair
We've invited figshare to share some information about their new figshare for institutions service and the benefits it offers to the VIVO community:
The recent launch of figshare for institutions will see the complete figshare codebase move over to a much more flexible system so that all those who use figshare can make use of new functionality such as 'embargos' and 'collections'. To date, we have focused our features on keeping life simple for academics, whilst giving both the end users and the institutions complete control over their files. We have also supported publishers in their need for new infrastructure to host an ever diversifying and growing number of research outputs. The new codebase however, allows a lot more flexibility to provide solutions to any party looking to better manage and disseminate academic content.
The first of these areas is academic conferences. The figshare team was in attendance at the recent VIVO conference in Boston and took the opportunity to discuss a potential portal with Mike Conlon (VIVO Project Lead) and Kristi Holmes (VIVO15 Conference Chair). As a tribute to the high regard figshare and the entire Digital Science portfolio holds for the VIVO community, we decided to pilot using the new figshare portals as a great way to manage and expose the products of the conference. This can include abstracts, posters, presentations and even videos of the talks. Conferences are a fantastic source of academic outputs, from forward thinking abstracts to cutting edge research in posters. For the most part, this is captured on conference websites which aren't necessarily visited much after the conference itself. By supporting the persistent storage of these outputs, conferences can have useful record of all of the outputs presented each year. As with all public figshare outputs, the files are previewable in the browser and everything is persistent and citable with a DOI.
We are continuing to collect content for the conference. If you have posters, presentations, associated with this years highly successful VIVO event that you can email them to firstname.lastname@example.com . In the meantime, you can check our progress with VIVO 2015 instance here!
Our new portal designs mean that the logo and branding can be matched up with the year's theme of location. The portal has lots of filters so conference organisers can see which are the most popular posters and presentations, while making all of the content citable. Going forward, preserving a copy of record of the annual conference will be easy. Each year a new filter and landing page can be added so that each annual conference can have it's own persistent record.
If you are running an academic conference and would be interested in piloting the new functionality, or if you have any other interesting use cases for our new portals, do reach out and let us know. Alternatively, If you would like to hear more about how we can satisfy funder mandates on open data, or to see how 'figshare for institutions' could be a good fit at your University or College, please get in touch via firstname.lastname@example.com or via twitter, facebook or google+.

Could Cannes give its first undivided Palme to a Woman?
As the sun (not pictured) sets on the second day of the Cannes Film Festival, attendees are left pondering the question of whether Cannes could — for only the second time — give the top prize to a film directed …
As the sun (not pictured) sets on the second day of the Cannes Film Festival, attendees are left pondering the question of whether Cannes could — for only the second time — give the top prize to a film directed by a woman. Actually, you could, if you were being mischievous, argue that no woman has ever won a whole Palme. Jane Campion shared hers with Chen Kaige back in 1993.
Following last year's embarrassment, when no women were in competition, the authorities found a record four places for distaff directors this time round. Rather oddly, they have scheduled three of those four films in the first three days. Lynne Ramsay's We Need to Talk About Kevin and Julia Leigh's Sleeping Beauty premiered tonight. Maïwenn Le Besco's Poliss is is formally unleashed tomorrow.
The least said about the Julia Leigh film the soonest mended. Ms Le Besco's picture is a decent — if somewhat confused — study of child protection services in Paris. But the Lynne Ramsay film is something else. Already the subject of breathless (deserved) raves, this adaptation of Lionel Shriver's creepy novel should remain the favourite for — at the very least — another two or three days. There is much to say in the picture's favour, but Ramsay should be particularly commended for making something so cinematic of a novel written in — of all forbidding literary forms — the epistlory style.
Ramsay has been away for quite a while. The Scot's first two films, Ratcatcher and Morvern Callar, earned very positive press, but, in the interim, she has got somewhat lost in the heather. After that gap, Lynne now comes across a little like a freshly minted newcomer. I suspect that the jury might want to honour a director who has come close before at this event. The obvious candidate is Pedro Almodóvar, but, as various boffins will argue, his best films tend to be those focussing on women. This year's entry, The Skin I Live In, is a showcase for old chum Antonio Banderas. Who knows?
With no information worth having, speculating pointlessly, I would guess that the favourite among the unseen pictures is Nuri Bilge Ceylan's Once Upon a Time in Anatolia. The Turkish director has won the Grand Jury Prize and the best director's prize, but the big one has not come his way yet. If he were to win, his path to the big gong would resemble that of Apichatpong Weerasethakul last year.
Of course, the film might stink. Who knows? At this stage, you may as well throw a dart at the list.

Blocking our ads means your killing our stats! Please disable your ad-block, or become a premium member to hide all advertisements and this notice. I'm moving this out of Twizzle's Training Providers thread so that thread doesn't get hijacked. I'd just really like to continue this discussion so I can understand your point of view How is this different? I've never learned anything studying for a certification test that wasn't about implementing or troubleshooting some technology. That's exactly what those exams are designed to find out--if you understand a technology. And, if you study hands-on rather than just read books, which is really the only way to do it as your ability to remember what you've studied goes way up doing it hands-on, you're actually implementing the technologies in questions. If you can't make yourself do that on your own with the motivation it's going to advance your career, possibly make you more money, and give you knowledge you didn't have before, just how are you going to study to keep up with change in the world? Nobody's work place uses the latest and greatest of everything. In fact, most places don't. Most businesses use stuff a few years old, and never implement "everything". They only implement a cross section of what they must have, and what they can afford. And, if your boss tells you that you to update your skills if you want a raise, how you gonna discipline yourself to study on your own if you can't do it now? Are you going to tell him to pay for your training, and require him to give you a raise at the same time? That just ain't gonna happen with the majority of employers. To tell the truth, I've never worked for any business which would have done that, and I'm in my mid-fifties. I'm not picking on you. Please don't take my questioning of you that way. I'm really looking to understand, as I just don't "get it" when it comes to your point of view. You share it with a lot of people too, so you're most definitely not alone in how you see things. I'm not even saying your point of view isn't valid, only that I just don't understand it.

Penniwells RDA
Registered Charity Number: 1120263
Elstree, Hertfordshire
Penniwells provides riding & stable management sessions for up to 140 adults & children throughout the week. We are open 7 days a week 8am - 5.30pm. The movement of the horse is unrivalled for improved muscle tone, balance, co-ordintaion & a great feeling of well being. For many it is the only exercise they take part in all week.
The Centre relies on volunteer support with many riders requiring up to 3 helpers at a time. 5 staff along with the management committee of 5 Trustees oversee the running of the Centre.
Penniwells has 14 working horses & ponies - 3 are on long term loan with the rest being owned by The Centre.
It costs approx £130,000 per year to keep running - Even though we charge riding fees this in no way covers our overall expenditure. We are reliant on the generous donations, gifts, grants & fundaraising activities by all those supporting us.
We encourage all our riders to ride to the very best of their individual ability - The majority begin riding at Penniwells for therapy having been referred to us by physios or consultants. Others come through schools, day centres & colleges. Lots also apply individually - At present we have about a years waiting list in place - This could be reduced if more volunteers joined our team.
Riders learn to ride in walk, trot & canter - we encourage many to take part in competition at RDA Regional & National Level with 2011 being our best year to date with 12 riders qualifying for the RDA National Championships - They won a staggering 18 classes between them and five returned home having been crowned a National Champion. We also give the oppportunity for some to take part in Para Dressage. 2011 saw a Penniwells RDA Rider set a new world record for being the youngest ever Para Dressage Rider to win an International 2* Competition - this was at Bishop Burton in July. he was just 14 yrs of age.
Penniwells is a very special place made up of a committed and passionate team. Without the whole team working together Penniwells would not have grown into the fantastic Centre of opportunity & Excellence that is today.

Some say corporate lobbyists are less popular than our elected officials. Every president I can remember has promised to close the revolving door of government officials who become lobbyists and vice versa. Yet the number of lobbyists walking the streets of D.C. has never been bigger.
But the traditional lobby power structure is about to collapse, and the wisdom of the crowd is slamming the door.
It started with SOPA, the Stop Online Piracy Act. The best lobbyists money could buy were hired by organizations with deep pockets. SOPA was set to sail through Congress with a strong bipartisan majority in January.
Until a strange and wonderful thing happened. The digital community spoke up. It was a genuine grass-roots effort without a leader and no known organized group bankrolling the effort. The Twittersphere went wild. Wikipedia went dark. Hundreds of thousands of e-mails went to 535 elected officials in Washington. Senators and members of Congress had never seen anything like it before, and they changed their minds. In a hurry. And then they changed their votes. SOPA crashed and burned in a matter of weeks. The traditional high-paid lobbyists never saw it coming and were powerless to act.
The voice of the digital crowd silenced the traditional whisper campaign coming from K Street.
A new and powerful tool was born: Crowdlobbying.
The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act followed and passed in April of this year with true bipartisan support. The National Venture Capital Association and its chairwoman emeritus, Kate Mitchell, breathed life into a collection of ideas, and packaged them into the JOBS act. Steve Case, atop his Startup America platform, spread the message far and wide to entrepreneurs in 50 states. I personally weighed in. Once again, leveraging the Web, citizen-led democracy triumphed in the midst of a bitter partisan climate.
And then came Uber, an app that lets you order a black sedan with your iPhone. This is the company that cleverly surprised riders this year with its own motorcade on President's Day. The D.C. Council was set to pass a price-fixing law in June, pushed by the taxi commission, setting minimum rates for Uber in order to "protect" regulated taxi cabs. The D.C. Council heard from thousands. They stopped in their tracks, and the law was never passed (though proposals continue to surface).
The uproar is not just in Washington. In August of this year, the Massachusetts Bureau of Standards concluded that GPS was not an approved way to measure distances and charge fees. They wanted to shut down Uber. Again, the crowd spoke. This time Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick's office intervened to let Uber grow and flourish in state.
Can this trend continue? Each of the four examples above succeeded without a traditional hierarchy or lobbyist driving the result. They were all fed by the grass roots — people like you and me with powerful digital weapons.
I think that this is an important trend to watch. The crowd will continue to catch lightning in a bottle, and influence legislation, albeit in an unpredictable and haphazard way. And once we get past the presidential election, it will only intensify.

Dan Ellis stopped the final three skaters he faced in an extended shootout, and David Legwand and Mike Santorelli each converted for Nashville, which opened the season with a 3-2 victory at Dallas on Saturday.
Legwand, Nashville's third skater, tied the shootout 1-1 and Ellis forced the tiebreaker to continue to sudden death when he stopped Brad Richards. Santorelli delivered after Martin Erat missed, and Ellis stopped both Mike Modano and Lou Eriksson, Dallas' fourth and fifth skaters, respectively, to give the Predators the extra point.
Ellis made 38 saves in regulation and overtime and earned his first win since Feb. 6. It was his fourth shootout victory in nine tries with Nashville.
Jason Arnott had a goal and an assist as the Predators jumped to a 2-0 lead. He scored on the power play 1:48 after the opening faceoff and then had the primary assist on Steve Sullivan's goal 4:47 into the second period. Arnott also had a team-high seven shots on goal.
Dallas finally got a puck past Ellis with 10 seconds to play in the second period and tied it at 4:05 of the third. James Neal scored both goals for the Stars, who outshot the Predators 39-26.
Patric Hornqvist added an assist on the Sullivan goal. He stepped up after J.P. Dumont was knocked from the game early in the second period.
It was the first loss ever for the Stars in a season-opener at Dallas. They were 7-0-2 in such contests since the franchise relocated from Minnesota.

Past Reviews
Off Broadway Reviews
You'll face two formidable challenges during the first five minutes of At Least It's Pink: Not falling out of your chair from laughing, and convincing yourself the dead can't really come back to life. From the instant she steps onstage at Ars Nova, Bridget Everett is actively attempting to channel the last of the red hot mamas herself, Sophie Tucker. With a husky oboe of a voice, a cartoonishly stocky stature, and a penchant for singing of every shade of the bluer side of life, the comparisons make themselves - and the sheer, ribald entertainment they evoke doesn't hurt.
But as the evening unfolds, you'll struggle with something else entirely: downing a steaming plate of crow. The longer Everett's act lasts, the less it resembles a dazzling showcase for a glamorous comedienne with a suggestive naughty side and the more it becomes a jambalaya of nastiness existing only to heap cheap thrills upon even cheaper thrills. After nearly an hour and a half of "big girl really, really loves sex" talk and singing, you'll long for the coyness and subtlety olden-day stars like Tucker employed to keep you titillated without getting explicit. Believe it or not, less really can be more.
It's hard to imagine this excessively excessive performer ever reaching that conclusion on her own, however. Everett, strapped into a tight black-leather corset containing a wide assortment of props (Metrocards and condoms are just the tip of the iceberg) as well as her own copious assets, spends much of her time gluttonously redefining the traditional meaning of "letting it all hang out."
She has to, though, to maintain the properly giddy-grotesque tone her show thrives on; if her body didn't match her bawdy, something would feel very amiss. "Tender" offerings like "2 for 1 Special" (about the psychological and economic impact of aborting twins) and "Back-Stabbing Bitch" (self-explanatory) demand demi-dominatrix dress; a "love song" called "Canhole" about oh, never mind just wouldn't be the same in a floor-length gown and pearls. (The costumes, such as they are, are by Angela Wendt.)
The songs, which Everett wrote with Kenny Mellman (of Kiki & Herb infamy, and who takes a turn accompanying Everett) aren't displeasing; they're mostly solidly constructed tributes to a drag production of Cabaret late Saturday night in the Meatpacking District, and they're fine fits for Everett's leather-bar-backroom voice. But the majority of the numbers just move in for the quick hit then move out before the cops show up, leaving you with laughs and, five seconds later, a nagging uncertainty about what you were laughing about.
The sole exception is the finale, "A Lovely Shade of Pink," a cleverly affecting exhortation to look beyond outer stereotypes that utilizes as many of those stereotypes as possible. Its title, like the show's, derives from one of the more memorable reminiscences Everett, Mellman, and Michael Patrick King (also the director) have worked into Everett's patter: Her day job is as a Ruby Foo's waitress, and she once had to contend with a customer who refused a steak that appeared charred to a crisp but deep inside was visibly (if vaguely) the medium rare he requested.
The script could use more of these kinds of connections, so all the outrageous obscenities would have a greater purpose than merely to shock. When that's all there is, it loses it impact quickly, and that happens about 30 minutes into this 80-minute show. Everett the performer isn't to blame: She has no trouble relating to the audience when confronting them directly during a brief accompanistless period, or finding endlessly inventive ways to unlock unexpected humor in anecdotes and songs about anonymous, drunken sex acts. At Least It's Pink is unquestionably stomach-churningly entertaining. The problem is it's still mostly stomach-churning.

Maybe I'm crazy but I think it's worth it.I'd think of adopting first though, I don't think it has to be biological, it's being a father, and we need more respect for them. They contribute a hell of a lot to a healthy society. The same amount as mothers do. Don't think otherwise.

State presents MISD with possible $54 million budget problem
Published 7:15 pm, Saturday, August 1, 2015
As our community moves into August, Midland Independent School District officials have had a very busy summer.
Two major endeavors every year are to complete the work on the district's budget and to get all of our staff (with an emphasis on classroom teachers) hired, so they can serve our students. Last Monday, the MISD board of trustees conducted a workshop for the 2015-16 budget. The biggest challenge for our school budget continues to be the state's funding system itself.
As I have written about several times in the past, MISD continues to be designated as a Chapter 41 school district by the state of Texas, which means MISD is under the "Robin Hood" provisions of the current public school funding system. We are in the third year of this designation. Year one (2013-14) saw local tax dollars leave Midland to the tune of $15 million; year two's payment (this past school year) was $33 million, and we are predicting the state will recapture almost $54 million ($53,935,000) from local taxpayers for the 2015-16 school year.
As the school board discussed, this one aspect of the state's finance system puts up some incredible challenges for the yearly district budget. In this light, the school board members were very appreciative of the Texas Supreme Court's recent announcement that oral arguments regarding the lawsuit against the state public school finance system would be taken up in September. There is no predicting how the Supreme Court will rule on this case, but the timing of the oral arguments could set up a decision within this school year.
As to the 2015-16 MISD budget, there were several different issues discussed during the workshop. Highlights of those issues include the following:
- The district is recommending a maintenance and operations (M&O) tax rate of $1.04005 to fund the budget. This marks the seventh school year in a row that the district, even in light of the millions of dollars leaving the district, has not requested a tax increase from Midland taxpayers.
- The district is recommending an interest and sinking (I&S) tax rate of $0.10 to fund the current debt of the district. Even with the passage of the 2012 elementary school bond, this makes the second year that MISD will not request a tax increase for debt payments, and $0.10 is 3 cents lower than projected during the bond election process.
- After the decisions of the 2015 legislative session, MISD will see $100,000 less funding than the 2014-15 school year. In one bill from the Legislature, MISD saw an increase of $2.1 million from last year's funding levels, but in another bill, MISD realized a $2.2 million cut, so total funding will be less than last year.
- For the first time in several years, MISD is planning for a slight decrease in student enrollment. Because of the decline in our economy, we feel it prudent to be conservative in our budget planning, and we have settled on a decline of 3 percent for the 2015-16 school year. This translates to 695 fewer students.
- With the reduced enrollment projection, the district is also anticipating reducing full time staff by 80 administrative, teaching and support positions.
Because of the state's decision to fund MISD at a lower rate than last year and because of the increased Robin Hood payment of more than $20 million, cost-cutting measures (as with the elimination of the staff positions) will be put into place as we move toward budget adoption at the end of August. The current deficit budget sits at $10.4 million. However, I believe the board made a very wise decision this spring in relation to the budget. As we analyzed the decisions of the Legislature this spring, it became apparent that nothing was going to be done about the current funding system, and the Legislature had made the decision to wait until a decision from the Supreme Court was made before any action would be made at the legislative level.
In light of this realization, the MISD board of trustees had two choices because a deficit budget would be inevitable: go to the Midland voters with a Tax Ratification Election (TRE) and ask for more pennies on the M&O tax rate to offset the funds that would be taken from our district, or enact cost-cutting measures and use the district's savings' account, or fund balance, to offset the deficit. The board chose to dedicate $10 million of current fund balance to offset any deficits that could occur after the cost-cutting decisions are made.
The board's logic was two-fold on this decision. First, being working members of this community, board members know that the economic downturn has been hard on many members of our community and do not think it prudent to ask for additional tax dollars at this time. The board also knows that community members would be hard-pressed to vote for tax increases right now. Second, MISD could get a very favorable ruling from the Texas Supreme Court in the next several months, so holding out for a new system could see our financial system rectify itself. And if we do not get that favorable ruling, then we have put off an election one more year before having to go to the community for more funding.
The board of trustees and the staff of MISD will continue to work through all of the different facets of the district budget for the next month. On Aug. 10, the district will conduct another budget workshop for the board. On Aug. 24, a formal budget hearing will be conducted. During the hearing, we will lay out the budget numbers again and allow any and all parents, taxpayers, and/or concerned citizens to ask questions and make comments regarding the 2015-16 proposal. After taking into consideration the board's directives and the comments made during the hearing, the budget and tax rate will move to the adoption phase.
Notwithstanding the challenges of putting together a viable budget that will fund the needs of our campuses this year, we are absolutely gearing up for a wonderful school year. New teachers and staff members are being hired as this article is being written, and we will be announcing the ribbon-cutting ceremonies for three new elementary campuses that will set new standards for serving children in Midland. This is a very exciting time.
If anyone has questions or comments about my article, please do not hesitate to contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com. Everyone have a wonderful summer that remains.

Next Day...Basketball court
Armaan was playing basketball on his own in the court, thinking of the few days he's going to spend with Ridhima in Chandigarh. He scores and decides to ring Ridhima when his fone rings. It was Ridhima.
A: hey beautiful, main abhi tumhare baare main soch raha tha.
R: acha? Who kyun?
A: well, hum mil rahe na aaj?
R: haan, pehle Sanjeevani jaana hai, Dr.Keerti ne kaha hain.
A: ok, main tumhe Sanjeevani main milta hoon.
R: ok bye…
Armaan disconnects the phone and leaves the court…
Sanjeevani…Nurse Station*
Armaan is standing at the nurse station with Sister Lovely…
A: Erm, Sister Lovely
L: haan ji Dr.Armaan?
A: mujhe Chaya ki case file chahiye
L: Chaya kaun?
A: Dr.Shashank ki patient Chaya
L: Oh! Haan main abhi deti hoon, ek minute ji.
Sister lovely gets up to search for the file. Armaan looks at his watch, it was 8:56am.
L: yeh leejiye Dr.Armaan
A: thankyou.
Armaan is looking through the file when he notices Sister lovely was looking abit upset.
A: Sister Lovely (he whispers)
Sister lovely doesn't hear him, so he repeats himself again but still wasn't heard. This time he says it louder and she looks up at him with embrassement.
L: jee Dr.Armaan
A: kya hua?
L: oh ji kuch nahi
A: kuch to hain, bataye kya baat hai?
L: acturally nah Dr.Armaan main ek problem main hoon.
A: kya?
L: dekhiye na Dr.Rahul ki shaadi hogi
A: yah, who Muskaan ke saath bohat khush hain
L: (pulling a face) haan main jaanti hoon aur Dr.Atul toh hamesha Dr.Anjali ke saath hote hain…bachte hain toh sirf (shyly) sirf aap aur Dr.Shubankar
A: KYA???(Shocked :O )
L: haan ab Dr.Shubankar toh senior hain, lekin aap (grabbing Armaan's hand)
A: Sister lovely (moving his hand away) well ive got to go now…(he quickly makes a move, and leaves)
Locker Room*
Anjali, Atul, Sunaina and Muskaan are sitting on the bench talking when Armaan enters.
A: Hey guys, kaisa chal raha hain sab kuch?
An: great! Tum kab nikal rahe ho?
Su: kyun? Kahi jaa rahe ho?
A: yeh
Su: abhi toh tum wapas aaye ho, kitna kam time spend karte ho apne doste ke saath! [L]
Waise jaa kaha rahe ho?
Ridhima comes out of the changing room..
A: main aur Ridhima
M: kya! Setting hogi? Honeymoon pe jaa rahe hoon..(she laughs reli weirdly, as usual)
A: kya?
R: Muskaan, tum bhi nah, hum dono chandigarh jaa rahe hain, papa ke liye.
M: oh (laughs) sorry ha..
A: its ok..wese Saahil aur Rahul kaha hai?
Rahul and Saahil walk in the locker room..
Ra: hey Armaan, all set?
A: yeh..
Armaan walks over to Ridhima…
A: chale?
R: yep, all ready…chalo.
Armaan & Ridhima say goodbye to everyone and leave.
Armaan's Car**
Armaan keeps staring at Ridhima whilst driving…
R: tum mujhe aise kyun dekh rahe ho?
A: eh vay..
R: eh vay? (she laughs)
A: acha Ridhima, suno
R: hmm
A: thora phaas ao na, tumhe sunai nahi dehga
R: acha! Kyun? Main behri hoon?
A: kya pata? But neway tum bohat achi lag rahi ho..(Ridhima smiles at his compliment)
After a few mintues Armaan stops the car and moves closer to Ridhima…
R: kya hua Armaan? (breathing heavily)
A: I dono, aaj tumpe bohat pyaar ah raha hain..
R: (pushing him away) Armaan! Chalo!
15minutes later…
Armaan looks and smiles at Ridhima who was sound asleep. She looked so beautiful whilst she was asleep… After about half an hour they reached Chandigarh, Armaan got out the car and opened the front passenger seat. He was going to wake Ridhima up when she opened her eyes and smiled at him.
A: hi umm, main tumhe jagaane hi wala tha
R: hum ponch gaye?
A: yeh, main samaan nikal tha hoon, tum chalo.
*Night Time*
Ridz decided to go to Armaan's room as she was bored on her own. She went out and knocked on Armaan's door…No answer, she knocked again, again no answer. Ridhima gently opened the door and walked in, she saw the bathroom door was closed and thought Armaan was probably in there. A minute later, the bathroom door opened, it was Armaan wearing nothing but just a pair of boxers.
R: Armaan!! Arghh! Yeh Tum!! (She screamed)
Armaan who didn't notice Ridhima was standing there before quickly rushed back into the bathroom. Armaan felt a bit embrassed and got changed into his black 3 quarter combats and a black top. He came out and found Ridhima standing on the terrace with her back to him. He slowly and quietly crept up to her and hugged her from the back.
A: Hi!
R: (turned to look at him) Armaan!
A: tumne khaana kaya?
R: haan aur tumne?
A: yeh
They talked till 3:00 In the morning
*!Next Day!*
Rahul and Muskaan were sitting, talking
M: Rahul, kal raat main soh nahin payi
Ra: Kyun? (holding her hand)
M: Actuli, mujhe bura lag raha tha
(Rahul lowered his eyebrows)
Ra: Kis bare mein?
M: Maine tume kabhi thanks nahin kaha na, Isi liye (she lowered her eyes with shame)
Ra: Thanks? Ye tu kya keh ree hain?
M: Chup. Mujhe bolne deh.
Rahul shut up and listened to Muskaan.
M: Rahul, maine jab se Sanjeevani join kiya hain, maine tujse hamesha nafrat ki, tujhe maara, ghusa hui, Aur tu, tu toh mera hero banke meri madat hamesha ki.
Rahul smiled and looked down
M: Rahul ham kab dost bane mujhe pata hi nahin chala.Tujhe mujhse pyaar hua, aur tumne kabhi nahi kaha. Tuje pata hain main tujpe roz ghussa kyon hoti hoon, woh is liye kyunki tu mujhe irritate nahi, mujhe bohat bohat acha lagta hain aur mujhe ghussa hona acha lagta hain. Mujhe jab ek dost ki zaroorat pari, tune hamesha mera saath diya. Meri shaadi, uss chinto se ho jaati lekin tu ne kaha ke main tujse shaadi kar loo. I really love you! Tu meri zindagi hain. So in the end…Thank Yuu! Thank yuu so much!
Rahul looked up at Muskaan who was in tears. He held Muskaan's hand and kissed it.
Ra: I love you too Muskaan, aur tujhe thankyou bolne ki koi zaroorat nahi hain, maine wohi kiya jo mujhe theek laga okay… ab tu jaa moo dohle.itne itner bareh ansoon se tera sara make-up spoil hogaya..(he laughs)
Muskaan hits his arm and gets up and leaves.

Well there was only one winner at the weekend and that was the weather, the adverse conditions wiped out the complete programme of WDSL fixtures.
The MGL fixtures also fell foul of the weather. On the Senior front all three Senior teams saw their games cancelled due to waterlogged pitches.
We are now entering into the business end of the season for all our teams within the club.
The committee would like to take this opportunity to wish all our senior, girls and schoolboys/girls teams the best of luck for the remainder of the season, good luck to you all.
We would also like to wish our U-16A team the best of luck in the fifth round (last 32) of the National Cup on Sunday February 3 when they travel to Sligo Town to take on Ballisodare United, good luck lads.
It has been noted that some managers are still not texting full information to our club secretaries.
The text should contain both team names, whether A, B or C, age group, competition and goalscorers.
Also text should be sent as soon as possible after the end of the match and should be sent whether you win or lose.
Please think of the people who are giving up their time to send results and goal scorers to the league and newspaper, everything has a knock on effect by the delay to send your result in. This applies to the Senior teams as well as the Junior sides.
Also could all club members please use the bins provided in The Whitegates, recently it's been noticed that rubbish has been left on the touchlines after games and it's been left to committee members to go around after games to clear up plastic bottles and paper wrap- pings, please use the bins provided and keep our grounds tidy.
Our soccer academy is on every Saturday morning [weather permitting] in the Whitegates all weather pitch at 11am so for fun and games while learning the skills of the game come to the Whitegates from 11 till 12 under the guidance of experienced coach Johnny Dunne. The academy is open to boys and girls from the age of three upwards.
The following is a list of the gear and prices: Socks-Junior €5, Senior €8; Shorts with crest-Junior €10, Senior €12; Tracksuit-Junior €45, Senior €57; Polo Shirts-Junior €22, Senior €28; Rain jacket-Junior €30, Senior €37; Hoodie-Junior €20, Senior €26. All tracksuits, polo shirts, rain jackets and hoodies can be personalized with the players initials free of charge if requested.
Anyone with information for the club notes or the club website can contact me at 0879108706 or e-mail me at email@example.com
For all news regarding the club, check out the club website at www.wicklowrovers.com or the club facebook page.
Due to the severe weather conditions over the weekend both the Wicklow schoolboys/girls league and the Wicklow football league were left with no choice but to call off all games in the county over the weekend. Hopefully the weather will improve over the coming days and we can get back to action next weekend.
Unfortunately our academy was also cancelled on Saturday due to our indoor facilities coming under threat from flood water on Friday night and only for the quick action of two of our members Glen Fewings and James Snell things could have been a lot worse.
The two lads along with the help of local Councillor John Snell were successful in steaming the flow of water which threatened our facilities and due to the swift actions of all three men our facilities were back in use on Saturday evening with just minor damage to the playing surface.
Everyone at the club is extremely thankful to Councillor Snell for his help and swift action on the night which went above and beyond his call of duty.
To all our members we would just like to say these are wonderful facilities we have not only our indoor pitch but our three outdoor pitches and clubhouse which we sometimes take for granted and sadly in this day and age it is not only the weather we are under threat from as was seen by the damage that was done to Wicklow Rover's small sided pitch just a few weeks ago.
So if you see anything suspicious in or around our facilities just contact a committee member or phone the Garda these facilities are for the whole community so better to be safe than sorry.
Our Academy is back next Saturday at 11am for all children aged between 4 and 7. Once again from the club, community and everyone that uses our facilities a big Thanks to Councillor Snell for all his help.
The girls had a free Sunday last weekend when all the Wexford League ladies matches were called off due to the bad weather conditions.
The previous Sunday the ladies made the trip to Clonroche to face Cloughbawn B in the first round of the Wexford Cup.
Mayghan Doyle opened the scoring for Shillelagh in the second half with a fine individual goal.
Despite dominating the game for most of the match and creating several chances, the girls were caught out with two quick goals to leave them trailing 21 with five minutes to go.
To their credit the girls stuck to the task and with Jaimie Brownrigg and Celine Jordan leading by example they were eventually rewarded with the equaliser when Elaine Murphy finished.
With the game heading for extra time Noreen Lambert pressed forwards and curled a great ball into the box where Anna Nolan stole in at the back post to grab the winner for Shillelagh and send them through to the next round.
This Sunday we play Killenagh away in the league at 11.30pm.
Training continues this Friday at 7pm. All new players welcome.
Congratulations to our latest €100 winners in our 210 club draw:
January 9: Martina Costigan, Quarry Street, Shillelagh, winning numbers 14 and 19. January 16: Therese O'Connor, Tomacork View, Carnew, winning numbers 21 and 36.
The weather this weekend played havoc with all cycling activities, with many of the club opting to head off-road on the snowy trails of County Wicklow rather than brave the icy roads.
One event that did go ahead was the Leinster Commission training camp which was held in the clubhouse last Sunday.
Young cyclists from all over the province braved the weather to attend. There was a road spin in the morning of varying distances for the different age groups, followed by talks on training in the afternoon.
Among those to attend from Bray Wheelers were Juniors Anthony Clarke, Sam McAllister and Edward Kearns. In the U-16 age group Sean Lee, Sam Gilmore, Paddy Michel and Jonah Bailey were in the group of over 30 U-16's from cycling clubs around the province. From this training camp Leinster teams for the season will be chosen.
Meanwhile Sean O'Tuathaill fresh from his fourth place in the Cyclocross National Championships will be part of a three-man Irish team taking part in the 56th annual international cyclocross race of Lanarvily in Brittany, France, on January 27.
Some of the continents best cyclocross riders will be attending and this will provide valuable experience for O'Tuathaill who should do well.
Also next Thursday night there will be another coaching session presented by Mark Murphy dealing with race preparation, tactics and criterium training. Details of all spins and events are on the website www.braywheelers.com
The season has been slow to kick back off after Christmas with no teams having played a game yet.
The weather played havoc with the schedule over the weekend and all games within the WDSL were called off.
As we have no results to report we are going to take a quick look back over the first half of the season.
The U-8 team spent the first few months finding their feet and learning how to play as a team under the guidance of manager John Kavanagh and assistants Steven Jordan, Keith Byrne and Ray Wallace.
The team played nine games in total and have had a mixed bag of results with five defeats and four wins. They have been regarded into the gold division for the next round of fixtures.
The team have come on so much and are keen to get back playing matches. They travel to St Pat's in Avoca this Saturday for an early kick off.
The U-9 team have had a fantastic season so far, the team has really came on and are the team in Wicklow to watch at this age group. They had a total of nine games so far and have secured seven wins, one draw and one defeat. The boys have been placed in the white division for the next regrade.
The results between now and June will determine what division the boys play in next season competitively.
Their manager Trevor Gilligan reckons they will be top contenders for the Premier Division going on their track record.
The U-11 team have had an up and down start to the season. They kicked off with the league and just couldn't get the results that they deserved.
They played a total of 10 games and secured two wins, two draws and were unlucky to have six defeats.
This has seen them move into Division 1 for the Shield and the team are ready to take on the challenge and are aiming for the top spot so they can move back up to the Premier again next year.
Managers Ken Redmond, Victor Young and Mark Murray have been busy over the last few weeks with extra training sessions getting the team ready for the next run of matches. Best of luck to all teams over the next few months.
Outstanding registration money is not due and can be given to team managers or the committee. Club gear is available to order by contacting Lorraine on 087 0576660. Please add us on facebook Carnew AFC to keep up with all the latest fixtures,news and results.

Last week we it was the frost but this week it was the torrential rain that fell Thursday night and all day Friday that ensured none of our teams saw any onfield action.
With more wintry conditions forecast for the next week we can only cross the fingers and hope that we get some games played this coming weekend.
Three players from the club celebrate their birthdays in the coming week and they are Cian Walsh from the U-12's, Lee Turner from the U-14's and Lauren Nolan from the girl's U-16's. Happy birthday to all three from everyone at the Juniors.
The club would like to extend their deepest sympathies to the family and friends of Jimmy Curley who sadly passed away last week.
Jimmy until his retirement last year was responsible for many years for keeping the village main street and other areas clean and tidy in his job working for the Wicklow County Council. May he rest in peace.
For all other queries/matters relating to the club contact Hughie at 087-6987653 or visit our website www.newtownjuniors.com and you can also find us on Facebook.
No games for our teams last weekend as the weather for the second week running was the only winner last weekend. Here's hoping for better luck for the coming weekend.
There was no winner in our Members Draw this week so it's a rollover of €300 next week. Thank you for your continued support.
The club extends their deepest condolences to the family and friends of Jimmy Curley who sadly passed away last week. May he rest in peace.


text: Today I would like to tell you the truth about sugar and sweeteners. Most of the sweeteners and sugars are extremely bad for you because they destroy your immune system, they support the cancer diseases and they mess up your brain. If you want to improve your health, then stay away from these bad sweeteners like: white sugar, corn syrup, high fructose corn syrup, fructose, sucrose, dextrose, and other artificial sweeteners. If you still want or need some kind of sweetener, then you can at least change to raw natural honey, xylotol, and pure maple syrup. To improve your health you must either stay away from the bad sugars or lower your consumption and start replacing the bad with good instead. If you'd like to know more about this problem and why FDA lets companies sell products like this then you should search the internet, believe me, you won't like what you'll find out, especially how they try to control the population on earth by killing lots of people with poisonous foods like sugars, colorings and fats.

On April 15, 1912, Titanic sank in the North Atlantic taking over
1,500 souls with her.The death toll would have been higher if it had
not been the quick actions taken by Capt. Rostron of the Cunarder
Carpathia and, as a result, 705 were saved. The author has written
over a dozen works of history and his latest is the story of that
fateful night plus a complete biography of her career from
construction, her service as an immigrant ship, an early cruise ship to
a trooper in World War One and her sinking from a torpedo on July

Guest Editorial: Thank you, officers, for all you do for us
National Tell A Police Officer 'Thank You' Day was initiated by Andrew Hale and The Whole Truth Project, an organization with a mission to support law enforcement officers by promoting a pro-police message.
This Saturday Sept. 21, I will be extending my 'thank you.' Will you?
Chances are, at one time or another, a police officer has been there to assist you or a family member in a time of need.
These men and women are the front lines of defense here at home. They never know what they might encounter when they are called on duty each shift. Depending on the time of day and where they work, it could be quiet and routine, or it could be utter pandemonium. The reality is the uncertainty.
Unfortunately, many consider the police a necessary evil. Folks want them there yesterday when they need them, but when they are the focus of an officer's attention because they've broken a law, the police become the bad guys.
That's OK. They're used to it. They willingly stepped into the role. They take the bad with the good because they believe they can make a difference. They believe in upholding the law. They believe that good will ultimately triumph over evil, and they want to be a part of that.
Today, I encourage you to spread the word.
Talk to your friends, neighbors and co-workers about Sept. 21, National Tell A Police Officer 'Thank You' Day. If you own or manage a business, please consider doing something special for the officers in your community.
Buy them lunch, a cup of coffee, or give them some other token of your appreciation. Use your signage to get the word out now and when Sept. 21 comes, use it to say 'thank you.'
This is my personal message of thanks:
While you're sitting at the dining table with your family, that cop that calmly stood writing your ticket while you cursed at him is answering a call instead of sitting down with his own family.
While you crawl into your soft comfortable bed and snuggle up with your loved one, that cop you called good for nothing is patrolling your street, keeping you safe while his loved one sleeps alone.
While you sit watching your son play ball, that cop you called lazy is looking for a lost child while missing his own son's ball game.
While your loved ones wake up knowing you are safe and sound, that cop's loved ones wake up just hoping he will make it home.
So next time you get angry at that cop, remember what he might be missing while keeping you and yours safe.
Thank you. Thank you for choosing to bear the weight of the badge. Thank you for standing between your citizens and the evil that wishes them harm.
Thank you for sacrifices you make in order to do your job.
Thank you for doing all that you do; for the small things that most people are unaware of.
Thank you, everyone who pins on a badge before heading to work. Thank you all for your protection.
Yolonda Christopherson, Team Captain
Otter Tail County and Perham City Officers

Integrating design and function
Team ASUNM collaborates with ASU's Design School and UNM's School of Architecture and Planning to incorporate all aspects of architecture:
- Landscape architecture
- Interior design
- Visual communication and design
- Housing and community development
The ASUNM house is a living lab focused on sustainable building principles, sustainable resource usage, energy generation, energy management, and education of next generation students.
The overall goal of the ASUNM house is to incorporate as many sustainable practices as practical, and conduct an on-going, long-term energy flow monitoring and analysis.
Ultimately, homes constructed in alignment with Team ASUNM's model, SHADE, will be built with active older couples in mind.
Ideal Location
Future ASUNM houses would be located primarily in suburban or rural areas. In urban areas, the homes would be located outside the proximity of sky-scrapers to prevent shadowing. In suburban or rural areas, the houses could be designed with a larger garden.
Solar Design
SHADE's architecture includes the integration of PV panels tilted at a stationary angle that properly positions the panels for optimized solar gain. Tilted PV panels are better than flat-mounted panels because they collect more solar rays.
Interior Design
The Interior Design Team, headquartered at ASU, creates a pleasant living environment for the target demographic. Both aesthetic and functional considerations are taken into account during the initial design process. A functional home office offers an additional sustainability feature by providing a resource for telecommuting to work.
The lighting of the home maximizes the admittance of high quality daytime sunlight by using smart light-guiding techniques. Use of high efficiency, LED electrical lighting ensures that dynamic and customizable light settings are available throughout the home to accommodate occupancy, mood, and other preferences.
The convertible, transformable space of the carport can be studied as space for further expansion of the home, office, or possible production area.

Yes, this show breaks the fourth wall in almost every episode, but it's really enjoyable after all. It's actually EDUCATIONAL, unlike other Nick Jr. shows. In this show, they teach math, how to draw, numbers, ABC's, etc. There are talking inanimate objects, but not a lot, unlike *cough cough* Dora the Explorer *cough cough*.
I wish they can bring this show back someday.

This is a piece I did for the Columbia Missourian's photo column, "Boone Life." This semester, the theme of Boone Life is "Beginnings" which means we have to go out and photograph different types of beginnings (we sort of use this term very loosely). Last week was my turn to do the photo column. My idea for a "beginning" was the installation of new billboards and the people who climb up and do it.
Unfortunately, because of 5,000 different federal OSHA laws, I didn't actually get to go up on the billboards. But, I did what I could from the ground. You can also read the article I wrote here (A writer I am not) and you will find the multimedia piece below:

Before I started the MMDVM, I envisaged a project where I had a small-ish box which given a few button pushes, could receive FM, D-Star, DMR, and System Fusion. This would be used in the car while commuting to work and would enable me to listen to all of the repeaters along the route. The callsigns, modes and frequencies would be in a config file, and the buttons would simply cycle through them until I found some activity. I suppose some form of scanning could have been added later.
This project morphed into the MMDVM.
My original idea was to use a Funcube Dongle Pro, a Raspberry Pi, a DV3000 AMBE board on the Pi, and a simple display also attached to the Pi.
Now that I have more experience with the MMDVM and the protocols in question, I am looking at revisiting this project. Instead of the Funcube Dongle I'd now use an AirSpy, but otherwise not much would change. Indeed it could even be used to validate my MMDVM output. I think D-Star and DMR would be simple to get working quickly, System Fusion less so. As far as I know, no one has managed to work out the mapping of the Fusion audio into the format needed for the AMBE3000R chip for all voice modes. I'm sure it will be done soon. For the full MMDVM I only need the details of the FEC for regeneration, but for this project I need to know more.
Don't hold your breath on this. It is just an idea for now, and most of my effort is on the MMDVM.

The art of compliance is a craft much like that of a carpenter who learns to work with various kinds of wood and designs. Ours is an industry wrought with differences. While the regulations that govern FDA-regulated industries are proscribed, how the regulations are interpreted and applied really depends on experience and how well one has mastered the craft of compliance. There are no proscribed procedures, but there are guideposts common to all FDA-regulated industries, whether a firm manufactures medical devices, pharmaceuticals, or biological products....

Synthetic polymers fulfill many functions in biotechnology and medicine. In cell culture technology and tissue engineering they provide the surfaces to which cells may attach. Cross-linked polymer networks are used for drug delivery and cell encapsulation. Polymer-based porous membranes can be used to shield implanted cells from the immune system of the host, while allowing for the exchange of nutrients and metabolic waste products thus keeping the cells alive and functioning.

Targeting BCR-ABL with Imatinib: Proof of Principle The protein product of the Philadelphia chromosome occurs in all patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and in ~30% of patients with adult acute lymphoid leukemia (ALL) and encodes the fusion protein Bcr-Abl. Although the c-Abl protooncogene is a nuclear protein whose kinase activity is tightly regulated as a part of the DNA damage response pathway (and actually induces growth arrest), the Bcr-Abl fusion protein is largely cytoplasmic with a constitutively activated tyrosine kinase domain.

This Report addresses in considerable detail the consequences of hot particles on and near the skin, in the eye, ear, respiratory system, and gastrointestinal tract. Limits for exposures from hot particles are recommended. If exposures are maintained below the recommended limits, few, if any, deterministic biological effects are expected to be observed, and those effects would be transient in nature. If effects from a hot-particle exposure are observed, the result is an easily treated medical condition involving an extraordinarily small stochastic risk.

For many years obesity in rodents has been known to be caused by a number of distinct mutations distributed through the genome. Most of these singlegene mutations cause both hyperphagia and diminished energy expenditure, suggesting a physiologic link between these two parameters of energy homeostasis. Identification of the ob gene mutation in genetically obese (ob/ob) mice represented a major breakthrough in the field. The ob/ob mouse develops severe obesity, insulin resistance, and hyperphagia, as well as efficient metabolism (e.g.

Signaling Pathways Downstream of Rtks: Ras and PI3K Several oncogene and tumor-suppressor gene products are components of signal transduction pathways that emanate from RTK activation (Fig. 80-2). The most extensively studied are the Ras/mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase pathway and the phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K) pathway, both of which regulate multiple processes in cancer cells, including cell cycle progression, resistance to apoptotic signals, angiogenesis, and cell motility.

A central pathway through which leptin acts to regulate appetite and body weight. Leptin signals through proopiomelanocortin (POMC) neurons in the hypothalamus to induce increased production of α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH), requiring the processing enzyme PC-1 (proenzyme convertase 1). α-MSH acts as an agonist on melanocortin-4 receptors to inhibit appetite, and the neuropeptide AgRp (Agouti-related peptide) acts as an antagonist of this receptor. Mutations that cause obesity in humans are indicated by the solid green arrows.

"The cap of 7% on the contribution of biofuels from food crops is a political compromise that affects the healthy sustainable conventional biofuels industry in Europe. The vision for advanced biofuels industrialisation is related to the existing conventional biofuels industry where technical, operational and financial synergies exist with advanced innovative pathways. Capping all conventional biofuels without distinction is not providing the sector with reassurances that policy-makers can define objective and evidence-based biofuels policy in the future. However, the recognition of the concept of low ILUC risk conventional biofuels is a positive signal"
