All my bitter experiences were thrown out of my system. You took me down to the deepest layer of me I touched my very SOURCE !!!!!
I could let go of so many blockages in life which were not letting me change the pattern of my inner thoughts. I could release so much of pain, hurt, insecurities, mistrusts, jealousy and my Incapabilities (ego) and fill myself with my true being of pure selfless and unconditional loveThank you Ritu but seriously saying thanks to you will be very small a word but I know you know what I feel for you

Silver Creek: Opportune time for proposal
A meeting in Silver Creek on Tuesday could set in motion a major change for the village.
At 7 p.m. in Hanover Town Hall, residents are invited to hear a presentation by the Sheriff's Department on an alternative proposal for police coverage that could potentially replace the existing Silver Creek Police Department and reduce the cost to the village taxpayers.
Currently, according to Mayor Nick Piccolo, the village department is made up of the chief, a full-time officer and part-timers. This is an opportune time to consider ending village police protection. It also should be noted that Silver Creek, with a population of 2,700, is the smallest community with its own police department in the county.
"I like the security of having our own police department. But, now I am retired and living on a limited income like many others in the village. … I think a lot of people realize luxuries have to come to an end some time," Piccolo said.
Silver Creek is the highest taxed entity in the county. A big reason is because the village has operated under the assumption for too many years that it can continue to do things the way it has always been done.
Silver Creek, however, is not the only municipality that needs to change its traditional, spending ways.

I could just have easily titled this post God's Timing Is Perfect, but I want to focus on the real lesson I learned from a recent encounter with God.
Starting about two months ago, every time I would hear the song Beautiful by Mercy Me I would think of a friend and feel a nudge from the Holy Spirit to email a YouTube link to this encouraging song to her. This happened seven or eight times in the course of two months. Each time I didn't follow through. Until the last time when I replied to God is an exasperated voice (in my head), "Fine, I'll send her the link." And I did.
I sent the email on a Friday evening, then worried that maybe I shouldn't have. I know this person is a Christian, but because of our relationship I wasn't sure it would be well received. I should have known better with God involved.
On Sunday I received a reply email thanking me for sending the song link and saying that it held a message she needed to hear right then. "Sometimes timing is everything," she wrote.
This is why I could have titled this little post God's Timing Is Perfect. But what I learned from this is so much bigger. I learned that God knows me better than I know myself. He knew that I would not follow through on His nudge the first time it came, nor would I do so the second time. In fact, He knew it would take seven or eight nudges before I would throw up my hands in frustration and finally give in.
I believe that God's hand was in this whole situation. Each time I heard this song it was part of a shuffled playlist on my iPod. My biggest playlist that includes this song has over 450 songs and the smallest has 178, so the odds that this one song would come up so many times were pretty amazing.
I had no idea when would be the right time to share this encouraging song, but God knew exactly when my friend would need it most and what He needed to do to make sure I shared it at that time.
And now I want to share this song with you all today as a reminder that you, too, are beautiful in His eyes.

After having spent a lifetime imagining wondrous and fantastical stories and adventures, he has finally found the time to begin creating the wonderful worlds from his imaginings.
"Why didn't I start writing sooner? Though strongly and repeatedly advised by my college professors, I was too insecure to think I could actually make a living writing stories. I mean, what kind of ridiculous pipedream is that? Now having completed my first trilogy and seeing the wonderful and unexpected response, I have begun to regret that decision. (sigh) Looks like I have a lot of lost time to make up for. Hmmm ... if only I had a Second Chance..."

PBS film views Reagan foreign policy
If you thought that the presidency of Ronald Reagan had been plucked clean of any new discoveries, Chip Duncan would like to change your mind.
Duncan is the writer and director of a new three-hour television series, "The Reagan Presidency," and he says there's plenty more to learn about Reagan.
Story Continued Below
( PHOTOS: Ronald Reagan's career)
"There had been at least three or four other films that are biographical," Duncan said, adding he deliberately chose to focus solely on the presidency. "I really wanted to look back on 30 years and say, 'What happened, and how did those decisions play out?'"
Duncan's film also hits on Reagan's role as a transformational political figure.
"There is a lot of mythology around Reagan's presidency, and our goal wasn't in any way to take a side or express an opinion — rather just to look at what happened and in that sense demystify it," Duncan said. "His rhetorical skills were outstanding. He had a great sense of humor. He was charming, all those things, which I think propelled the iconic stature he has today."
He also discovered that Reagan's foreign policy is a lot more complex than most people think.
"We get into Reagan's Middle East policy in a significant way that really hadn't been in any of the other films," Duncan said. "When we started, we thought it was going to be a two-hour film; it became a three-hour film, and the Middle East really drives that decision, because most people are focused only on the Cold War. But when you look at the Lebanese Civil War, and you look at the decisions in 1982 and 1983, and you look at Iran and Iraq's eight-year war and the Soviet's war with Afghanistan, a lot of those things are precursors to what we see today."
Interview subjects in the film include Sandra Day O'Connor, Walter Mondale, Robert Reich, Bill Bradley, Andrew Young, Ed Meese, Gary Hart, Paul Volcker and Douglas Brinkley. Duncan said that because of the film's focus on Reagan's presidency, no family members were interviewed, but he said that Nancy Reagan "is aware of the film."
The series isn't Duncan's first foray into presidential politics; his production company, The Duncan Group, also worked on the 2009 PBS documentary "Landslide: The Presidency of Herbert Hoover."
Duncan doesn't want to chime in on the most oft-discussed Reagan topic nowadays — Would Reagan make it in today's Republican Party? Jeb Bush has frequently said no, but he seems to suggest Reagan would adjust to modern times.
"He knew how to get elected, and he and his team did create a major shift in the electorate."
The three-part series can be seen on public television stations nationwide.

Be a Firefighter >> Browse Articles >> Fitness Tips by Stew Smith, CSCS
Fitting Fitness into a Busy Day of Public Service
Stew Smith, CSCS
Stew Smith CSCS, former Navy SEAL Joins Forces with FireLink.com as fitness advisor / writer.
I am pleased to start writing a fitness column for FireLink.com that will enable me to communicate with law officers on a regular basis, but also, I hope to assist our Heroes of Tomorrow and today with maintaining their fitness level and career longevity. It is an honor to write about our nation's military, law enforcement, and emergency medicine personnel and I look forward to this relationship with FireLink.com.
For my first article, I have some quick fitness tips that should help many firefighters fit fitness better into their lives when the days are long or if you do not have much time for fitness. Also, I would like to ask the community for some assistance and helping FireLink.com and me create a chart that has all the PFT requirements / exercises and links to webpages of every State police department in America. See the link below. I have started on the list, but need help as some of the page have changed and some information was difficult to find through common search engine.
So, if you have any information on a certain state's PFT requirements, please send them to me at firstname.lastname@example.com
Fitting Fitness into a Busy Day of Public Service
Related Links
Many of today's military personnel are continuing public service professions once out of the military and performing jobs in the law enforcement, fire fighting, and emergency medicine. These daily heroes are also continuing their military service as Reservists or National Guard members, thus having to take physical fitness tests every six months to stay operational. Typically, the professionals who serve in our towns across America as police, fire fighters, and EMTs, are the very same people who have the constitution to serve in the military reserves or National Guard as well. Thanks for your Community Service Police Officer, Firefighters, and EMTs!
It is difficult to fit fitness into a busy day or night of shift work, family duties, and many other life's distractions. Fitness is vital to our public servants to aid in performance of their job and enables them not to unnecessarily risk their lives or the lives of the people they protect. Here are some ideas to help with quick fitness routines when time is short.
Stay Flexible – Keep stretching through the day. You never know when you have to go from sitting to sprinting when on duty. When in doubt at least major muscle groups of the legs / lower back.
The Jumping Jack / Pushup Routine: This one gets the heart going and pumps the arms and chest. I use it to wake me when the need to stay alert is required. It only takes 3-5 minutes!
Repeat 5-10 times: Jumping jacks – 10 reps / Pushups – 10 reps – try not to rest other than touching your toes after jumping jacks and walking your hands out in front of you and slowly place yourself into the pushup position. I usually do this before a workout to get the muscles loose, but it is a great way to take a few minutes and get 50-100 pushups. Do this through the day every hour or so and you will have several reps of pushups done.
Mix in legs with above workout – Add squats in between jumping jacks and pushups for a great full body pump that only takes 5-7 minutes. I recommend doing 10-20 reps of squats or ½ squats when doing this workout. Do it with Dumbbells – Place dumbbells near your workplace and pick them up every so often to get in a quick full body workout as well. I like to do what I call Multi-Joint Exercise with dumbbells:
Multi-Joint Dumbbell #1 – This multi-joint exercise focus on the upper-body by mixing several exercises into one movement. This one mixes bicep curls, military press and triceps extensions. Start with dumbbells by the waist, raise them doing a bicep curl, then over head, and then behind your head – repeat in reverse order.
Full-body Dumbbell #2 – This multi-joint exercise adds lower body exercises to Full-body dumbbells #1. This exercise mixes triceps extensions, military press, bicep curls, and full squats. This one mixes squats, bicep curls, military press and triceps extensions. Start with dumbbells by the waist, perform a squat, then raise them doing a bicep curl, then over head, and then behind your head – repeat in reverse order.
Full-body Dumbbell #3 – This multi-joint exercise adds lower body exercises to Full-body dumbbells #1. This exercise mixes triceps extensions, military press, bicep curls, full squats, squat thrust, and pushup. This one mixes squats, squats thrust, pushup, bicep curls, military press and triceps extensions. Start with dumbbells by the waist, perform a squat, a squat thrust, then a pushup, then reverse squat thrust, squat up, then raise them doing a bicep curl, then over head, and then behind your head – repeat in reverse order.
These are some quick ideas to help you fit fitness into your schedule. The thing to remember about fitness – IF IT IS NOT IN THE SCHEDULE, IT DOES NOT EXIST!
Being unfit should not be an option for any public service officers when the risk of life is on the line. The Law Enforcement, Military, and Fire Fighting professions are simply a cross section of America's fitness levels – all groups – require a certain level of fitness to do their job. A fitness regular routine may one day save their life, their buddy's life or and accident victim's life.
After interviewing and training police officers from federal, local, and state, and fire fighters and understanding the physical requirements of performing their work, we have developed several routines to test fitness, maintain fitness levels, as well as build fitness from the ground floor for these honorable public service professions. Check out the StewSmith.com Heroes of Tomorrow Fitness Store for more ideas to add to your own routine.
Email former Navy SEAL, Stew Smith CSCS at firstname.lastname@example.com should you have any questions about Military or Law Enforcement Fitness Training. His writings help prepare the Heroes of Tomorrow for today's military and law enforcement and fire fighting professions.

Deadwood Cabin Added to National Historic Register
DEADWOOD, S.D. (AP) - A log cabin located just outside of Deadwood has been added to the National Register of Historic Places.
State historic preservation officer Jay Vogt tells the Black Hills Pioneer that the Pearson Cabin could date back to 1876 with the Black Hills Gold Rush, and its early construction could be tied to gold seekers. The roof is covered in cyanide can lids manufactured after 1902, but the structure could well have been built prior to that and the lids added later.
Vogt says the property is both fascinating and unique.
The South Dakota State Historical Society identifies historic properties throughout the state and presents them to the national register.
Deadwood area resident Bill Pearson says the cabin has been treasured and preserved by his family for decades.

Cruise control
I'm impressed with Alla Ivnitskaya's fabulous mom-- shown here on a cruise in the 70's-- for the following reasons:
-Her ability to over accessorize (purses, scarves and hat, oh my!)without looking like she's over-accessorized,
-her poise in 10 pound platform shoes,
-her ability to pack light,
-oh and this: "In the former USSR there was such a concept as finding an item of clothing, because the stores were pretty empty and often the nicer things came in quantities of one or were brought in from overseas and sold on markets or through friends. My mom once "found" a pair of red gloves, to which my grandmother, who was a seamstress sewed a matching coat."
What I wouldn't give for a mom who sewed entire outfits.*

The Nao was a Spanish-Portuguese ship of the Middle Ages and early Age of Exploration.
A forerunner carried crusaders to the Holy Land in the 13th century, and under various names (nef, nave, nau, nao, all of which are variants of the Latin navis: ship), and through various developments, became the generic sail-powered large (for its time) trading vessel suitable for work in both the Mediterranean and Atlantic. There is a 13th century city seal (Winchester) showing a nef whilst a Catalan model of a nao exists that tells us much about the vessel in that place at that time. It is thought that by the 15th century it was almost indistinguishable from the carrack.
Columbus referred to the Santa Maria as a nao, although it may have been a larger caravel than its two mates. Whatever, a century later both the nao and the caravel had all but disappeared, having being found unsuitable for the rigours of the trans-Atlantic trade. Its place was taken by the galleon.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
An Israeli entrepreneur and innovator is launching a new initiative to provide electricity to central Africa and other parts of the world where electric-powered conveniences are insanely expensive and virtually unknown to average residents.
"For Africa and other parts of the Third World, where a billion-and-a-half people still live without power, electricity is the key to solving a myriad of problems," energy expert Yosef Abramowitz told the Times of Israel.
Abramowitz has made a name for himself by developing an innovative and cost-effective method of turn solar power into electricity. His Arava Power Company was the first in Israel to win a government contract to provide solar-generated electricity on the commercial market.
Now he wants to take that expertise to those most in need of it.
Abrahmowitz believes his solar power program could turn on the lights for the first time for hundreds of millions in impoverished areas.
In related news, the Israeli government has provided a $217 million loan to the University of Ghana to build a 600-bed teaching hospital in the city of Legon.
In addition to training a new generation of doctors, the hospital will provide a new level of medical care to those living in the region.
Israelis have a long history of humanitarian activity in Africa that often goes unreported.

Getting married, as most people have heard, is not a low-cost endeavor. Neither, as it turns out, is being a wedding guest.
The average guest will spend $592 to attend a wedding this year, according to the American Express Spending & Savings Tracker. That's up 10 percent from 2013 and 75 percent from 2012. (And yes, that is just a ceremony-watching, fish-or-chicken-choosing guest. Members of the bridal party spend slightly more, at an average $618.)
"This links back really clearly to what we're seeing in spending overall," said David Rabkin, senior vice president of consumer lending for AmEx. "People are starting to feel more comfortable." In the less-flush years of the recession and its aftermath, he said, guests were more likely to decline attending or be more frugal on their costs to attend.
Bumped-up guest costs are also a reflection of consumers throwing more lavish weddings. Last year, the average wedding budget hit a staggering $29,858, up 5 percent from 2012, according to wedding site TheKnot.com.
Why should couples care how much guests will spend? More "no" RSVPs, for one, potentially including some important relatives and friends who can't make the numbers work.
Weddings guests deem too pricey to attend also create a nightmare for couples in the form of last-minute cancellations, said Leslie Weekes, a wedding and event consultant based in Washington, D.C. Within a few weeks of the wedding, one of her brides lost three tables' worth of guests who would have been traveling in from out of town.
"People tell the couple they'll be there," said Weekes. "But when it's time to shell out the money, then they cancel." If that happens after final numbers are due to a vendor or caterer, the couple may be out the money for those no-show guests.
These seven wedding attributes, experts said, can substantially add to the cost of being a guest. Tally your possible costs before sending in that reply card.

PICS: Bay area crews helping in Northeast face wind, snow | Community Spirit
Title (Max 100 Characters)
Tampa, Florida -- We're seeing impressive photos of the rough conditions facing Tampa Bay crews traveling north to help the area hit by back-to-back storms.
And more help from our area will be heading north in just a few hours. There's a team planning to fly out of Tampa International Airport just after 8:30 Friday morning.
All of the flights leaving Tampa are on time and on schedule right now, which means airports in the Northeast are up and running after a Nor'easter storm followed on the heels of Superstorm Sandy.
Photo Gallery: Florida crews in the wind and snow pictures
But plenty of other services are still not available to tens of thousands of people.
Our neighbors are trying to help fix that, even if they're operating in some unfamiliar weather -- snow.
Lakeland Electric posted photos to the City of Lakeland's Facebook page and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission posted photos to Facebook as well.
Trucks are coated with snow and workers are bundled up in driving rain.
You can imagine, some of these great people have never even seen snow. Now they're driving and working in it.
The Fish and Wildlife officers are backing up local law enforcement in some of New Jersey's devastated beach communities.
The city says the Lakeland line crews worked in driving rain on Long Island until 1 p.m. on Thursday. That's when the rain turned to snow. They kept going.
Finally, at 4 o'clock, conditions got too rough and they had to stop for the day.
Still, they managed to get the power back on to hundreds of houses. That means some of the comforts we're all taking for granted here can finally come back for families up there.
Not long after sunrise, a team of emergency managers from Pinellas County will be gathering at the airport in Tampa to fly to New York City.
They plan to lend their expertise -- and really their energy -- to workers up north who have been going nonstop for nearly two weeks.
10 News will be with them when they assemble at the airport and we'll tell you what they're most concerned about on 10 News at 9 a.m.

OAKLAND — It was probably headed here for the Clippers and Golden State Warriors from the get-go, these two emerging Pacific Division rivals as evenly matched as you can be and growing more familiar with one another by the game.
They've played 10 times this season, including six over the past week or so.
But they need one more to decide who moves on in the Western Conference playoffs, the result of the Clippers gut-wrenching 100-99 loss Thursday night at Oracle Arena in Game 6 of this curious first-round series.
"We've got to let this one go and get ready for Game 7 and go back home," Clippers guard Chris Paul said.
That they've arrived on the doorstep of elimination or advancement together in a win-or go home seventh game Saturday at Staples Center should surprise no one.
As it should be, probably.
The dynamics of how they got here no longer matter, all off it null and void.
Even the unfathomable side show that unfolded last Friday when Clippers owner Donald Sterling was exposed as a racist — throwing both teams for a mental loop and sidetracking the Clippers' focus over a 48-hour window that left their heads spinning and their will waning.
None of it matters.
One game remains, one moment of truth. One chance to move on.
That the Clippers return home to the safe haven of Staples Center suggests they have the edge, but they don't come home without questions.
Not the least of which is whether Blake Griffin can get going and if Paul's body can hold up long enough to push the Clippers into the second round.
Both went missing Thursday, an unlikely occurrence considering their league-wide standing, the momentum gained from Tuesday's Game 5 win and their minds now free from the Sterling drama.
But with a chance to close out the Warriors and earn a very much needed couple of days off standing right in front of them Thursday, they vanished while combining for just 26 points.
At least Paul had an excuse, his hamstring barking just enough to curtail his movement and limit his effectiveness.
But Griffin is perplexing, especially considering the way the Warriors' big men are falling and how he's a matchup nightmare for David Lee and Draymond Green.
Yet he struggled to 8-of-24 shooting before fouling out late in the fourth quarter, the poor shooting and foul trouble a death knell to the Clippers' hopes in a game that was well within reach.
"Just missed some easy shots the past couple games here," Griffin said, blaming some of his woes on the matchup with Green, whose size disadvantage forces the Warriors to run double teams at Griffin.
It's an adjustment that hasn't gone smoothly for Griffin.
"Whenever you have a smaller defender, it's not so much the one-on-one matchup just because they're constantly running people at you," he said. "I've got to do a better job of reading the double teams and passing out of them, things like that."
He's got one day to get it figured out, although his teammates pledged support.
"We'll get him going," Jamal Crawford promised.
Of deeper concern is Paul's ailing body, which betrayed him Thursday and poses a serious threat moving forward.
If he's not right, neither are the Clippers.
That's a big problem with the minimal off time between games.
Paul vowed to be ready.
"Yeah, I'm OK. I'm OK," he said. "Tough game, bumps and bruises, you get through it. "
The Clippers can only hope.
Preserving Paul is of utmost importance, which made Thursday's loss so frustrating.
With the Memphis Grizzlies and Oklahoma City Thunder moving on to their own Game 7, the Clippers had a chance to create some off time by beating the Warriors.
But with Paul and Griffin struggling and no adaquate support to be found elsewhere, the Clippers let a winnable game slip through their fingers.
The Warriors looked as physically spent and mentally fatigued as the Clippers, their shooting percentage plunging and their injuries mounting when Jermaine O'Neal was lost in the first half to a knee injury after Glenn Davis plowed through him underneath the basket.
But the Warriors found just enough push to win an ugly game and force Game 7.
"They just grinded it out a little more than us, obviously," Griffin said.
For the Clippers to flip that script, they need much more from Paul and Griffin.
It's hard to imagine any scenario in which they advance without signature performances from their two stars.
If there is any solace, they return home for the win-or-else deciding game.
"That's why you work so hard to get as high a seed as possible," Griffin said. "To get home court in these situations."
So here we are, a win-or-else situation Saturday in Los Angeles.
But at this point, are any of us really surprised?

The videos include introductions from Rep. Donna Edwards, D-Md., National Education Association president Lily Eskelsen García, and The Nation's editor and publisher Katrina vanden Heuvel.
Our Honorees
Bill de Blasio was swept into office of the Mayor of New York City in 2013, taking nearly three-quarters of the vote, and since then he has worked through his administration to address the city's social and economic inequalities. De Blasio ran on a boldly progressive platform that included increased taxes on those earning over $500,000 to pay for increased funding to education, including universal pre-kindergarten and investments in the City University of New York. Throughout his political career, de Blasio spent his time fighting for a number of progressive causes, including quality public education, affordable housing, and gender equity.
De Blasio's New York political career began in 2001 with his election to the New York City Council representing a Brooklyn district. There he fought housing discrimination against people with disabilities and those receiving housing subsidies, as well as for increased rights for same-sex couples. In 2008 he successfully ran for the position of New York City Public Advocate, where he challenged Mayor Michael Bloomberg's policies on education, including cuts to teaching jobs, and was able to prevent the layoff of nearly 4,600 teachers through a community call drive. De Blasio also took on housing issues in the city as Public Advocate, forcing the New York City Housing Authority to reverse its cut of Section 8 vouchers, and providing a forum for those aggrieved by their landlords to share information with his "Worst Landlords Watchlist."
Mayor de Blasio lives in New York City with his wife, Chirlane. They have two children.

Saru Jayaraman, co-founder and co-director of the Restaurant Opportunities Centers United (ROC) and Director of the Food Labor Research Center at UC Berkeley, is a leading fighter for low-wage workers in the restaurant industry. She launched ROC in New York to help workers displaced following the September 11, 2001 attacks. ROC expanded across the country in 2008, and now includes 13,000 restaurant worker members in 32 cities nationwide, 100 "high road" employer members and several thousand consumer members. ROC has engaged in organizing, cooperative restaurant development, workplace training, research and policy advocacy to affect labor policy for workers across the country.
While organizing workers against exploitation in high-profile restaurant companies, ROC has obtained over $10 million in judgments as well as substantive policy changes from these companies. The organization has also called attention to the inadequacy and injustice of the tipped minimum wage, and has pushed for the enactment of laws requiring workers to have paid sick leave. At the same time, ROC created a National Diners' Guide to promote restaurants that act ethically toward their workers as well as the community. Jayaraman is co-author of "Behind the Kitchen Door," a book that details the lives of restaurant workers and how their standards of living affect the food we eat, and has been a frequent guest on news discussions of worker issues. This year she was named one of 10 CNN Visionary Women and was celebrated by the White House as a Raise the Wage Champion of Change.
Jayaraman is a graduate of Yale Law School, received her Masters in Public Policy from Harvard's Kennedy School of Government. In addition to leading ROC United, she teaches at the Goldman School of Public Policy at UC Berkeley. She lives with her two children and partner, Zachary.

Lee Saunders, president of the 1.6 million-member American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, is one of the country's leading advocates for public services and the men and women who provide them. Under Saunders' leadership, the union strives to enhance the quality of life for its members and all working families by focusing its resources on such issues as health care, fair pay and tax fairness, workplace safety and retirement security. He has also worked to build the next generation of union leadership, increasing diversity and participation within the union. AFSCME is one of the largest unions within the AFL-CIO.
Saunders grew up in a union household in Cleveland, Ohio, joining the Ohio Civil Service Employees Association in 1975. He has been a champion of unions and workers' rights at AFSCME since 1978, when he started as a labor economist. He progressed through the ranks as an assistant director of community action, deputy director of organizing and field services and eventually became responsible for managing AFSCME's political and legislative operations, leading it to become one the strongest unions in the American labor movement in mobilizing, lobbying and fundraising. From 1998 to 2002, Saunders acted as administrator to New York City's largest public service employee union, AFSCME District Council 37, which represents 125,000 members. There he helped restore the fiscal integrity, health and reputation of the council and its 56 affiliated unions.
Today Saunders also serves as vice president of the AFL-CIO Executive Council and is the chair of its political committee. He and his wife Lynne have two sons and live in Washington, D.C.

The "Recycled Etcha-Sketcha" is mostly made from found or broken electronics. The motors, potentiometers, knobs, and switches came from a broken vintage radio. The wire is from wire hangers, and the light bulb also comes from the radio. The circuits were built using a 555 timer. My favorite part of this project is the last switch on the board. I call it the "crazy switch". When it's turned on, all the electricity flows into the light and the motor, which controls the paper, causing the paper to retract really fast and the light to flash. There is a solenoid motor that also pushes the pen which came from a thrown out printer.

Sunil Saigal lives with his wife in the lower floors of the house which is interestingly decorated with ethnic items and antiques, particularly images of Ganesh the elephant God who represents a warm welcome. Sunil is an easy going character who enjoys having a drink in the evening with his guests and is dedicated to providing them with an entirely individual experience. Yoga classes are taken every morning and organic food is provided; the pagoda in the house's well tended garden is the perfect place to enjoy a morning coffee and enjoy the peace of the surrounding area.
On the other hand, in the vicinity is the smart South Extension shopping and business district, with several 5 star hotels and superb restaurants- the Moti Mahal restaurant is especially good. Sunil can help guests plan any sightseeing trips, as he has lived in Delhi for almost all his life. Within range are all the most prominent monuments in Delhi: India Gate is only about 3km away and the serene Lodi gardens are not far off.
Each room in the homestay has a different theme, some have a classical European style, some have a particularly Eastern sense to them and each one has a different colour scheme and type of furniture. Sunil's sister owns a nearby art gallery, so there is a large collection of modern art among the more traditional pieces. As well as being very much affiliated with the western style of living, Sunil has done an enormous amount of traveling in India. He particularly enjoys mountaineering and fishing, and so he can really help foreign guests get a grasp of the country; indeed some guests have come back to the homestay several times.

shabby interiors Host was very nice person, however the room interiors are very shabby. They seemed to be older than my grand parents. Room was too dusty & cleanliness of the home was extremely poor. A major upgrade needed on the rooms interiors & a new paint job for the entire villa would be good.

Best place I\'ve ever stayed at !!! This was my first time in India. I\'ve stayed in many places over the years and this is the best ever! The location is fantastic. The hosts were warm, friendly, incredibly hospitable and helpful throughout my stay. The atmosphere was homely and I was made to feel extremely welcome from the moment I arrived. The staff were courteous and polite at all times and I had everything I needed. The food was excellent and they provided very sound advise on getting to know Delhi and the surrounding area. I now woud not consider staying anywhere else. In the future I know where to come ! Highly recommended. R. Chowdhury ( London uk )

I was very disappointed with this place. The room was just OK, a 2 star level. Cleanliness of the common areas was NOT good. My biggest complaint was that the hosts were smoking in the living area all the time, even when talking to me. I woke up to dogs barking at 5:00 AM. Windows in my room were boarded up, so I could not look outside. Food was very simple. Nothing special. I felt like the Muesli was not fresh. This is definitely not for business travel. I will not stay there again

Using A Utf-8 Locale In Ångström

I've tried posting this to the Ångström devel mailing list, but seems it's not going through.
Maybe somebody here would have an idea:
I would like to use a UTF-8 locale in Ångström because one of the apps I want
to use needs it.
I've installed locale-base-ja-jp binutils-locale-ja bison-locale-ja
coreutils-locale-ja diffutils-locale-ja galculator-locale-ja gawk-locale-ja
gcalctool-locale-ja gcc-locale-ja gconf-dbus-locale-ja gdb-locale-ja
gettext-locale-ja gftp-locale-ja glibc-locale-ja gpdf-locale-ja grep-locale-ja
gtk+-locale-ja libatk-1.0-locale-ja libglib-2.0-locale-ja make-locale-ja
mc-locale-ja sed-locale-ja tar-locale-ja wget-locale-ja glibc-gconv-euc-jp
glibc-gconv-euc-jp-ms glibc-gconv-iso-2022-jp glibc-gconv-unicode
glibc-charmap-euc-jp-ms glibc-utils locale-base-ja-jp-euc-jp util-linux-locale-ja
which were exactly the packages I had installed under OZ 22.214.171.124 in order for
everything to work perfectly.
However now, if I set LANG=ja_JP.utf-8 and for instance just run gpe-conf time
the app comes up only as a white box and then gets stuck, doesn't run. However
there is no complaints at the command prompt.
So I'm guessing it reads the localedata and then it gets stuck somehow.
Do I need to regenerate the locale on the Z natively, and would this fix it?
Or what could be the problem?
Thank you.

Create a .Net Shell Extension - Shell Thumbnail Handlers - STL viewer
Budget $30-250 USD
Create a bitmap from a STL file
All the sourcecode is availabe at:
[url removed, login to view]
The Nuget packages is not uploaded.. See projectInstruction documentation.
I have a working Shell Thumbnail Handler created from this tutorial
[url removed, login to view]
I have done this example simplier and removed functions that are not needed.
I have a function CreateThumbnailFromSTL that only creates a fixed bitmap.
This fixed bitmap needs to be changed so it is dymanic created from the STL file and scaled to 90% of the thumbnail size.
I have tried to use HelixToolkit without a visual GUI element. I did not get this to work.
There is functions there like STLreader and RenderTargetBitmap but my created bitmap is always black. ;-(
I have removed my tries to not confuse.
I have also created a STLviewer that shows the STL using HelixToolKit (nuget)
Its very plain and is used to confirm that the STL is valid during development of the thumbnailhandler.
In this viewer I have tested to create snapshot of the STL.
Its easier to debug a windows Form application but the result is a black image ;-(
Bonus Tasks:
* Center the drag-and-dropped file
* Scale to 90% of STL viewer size
* Drag-and-Drop to the WPF usercontrol
* Remove and Recreate STL when a secund drag-and-dropped file
* Replace the "navigation-cube" with a Marlin3Dprinter-Cube (= The icon)
We can have a discussion about the bonus task(s) when the main project = The STLthumbnaliHandler is finished.
All the sourcecode is availabe at:

South Dakota ranchers reeling from cattle losses, disposal pits set to open on Monday
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. – Western South Dakota ranchers are reeling from the loss of tens of thousands of cattle in last weekend's blizzard as pits to dispose of the dead animals are set to open Monday.
Heath Ferguson says the storm killed 96 percent of his herd of 100 black Angus and Limousin cattle, a hit worth $250,000. He says total losses topped more than 1,000 head, as six other herds were roaming the family's 16,000 acres east of Sturgis.
Up to 4 feet of snow fell in the Black Hills area last weekend.
Ferguson says the vast majority of ranchers can't afford insurance that covers storm-related damage and the farm bill's Livestock Indemnity Program is in flux because of the federal shutdown. He says ranchers are an independent bunch, but need help.

Somebody Else needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 94 designs submitted by 30 freelance designers.
We've been hosting and doing web development for close to 7 years but under a very generic name, badly designed logo etc. It's time to recreate ourselves. I play conga drums, we host a lot of musicians and wanted something playful and unique.
I'm open to taglines "walk to a different drummer" / "we beat the competition" anything that kind of goes with the drum / rhythm / beat theme. We've been a bit stuck on ideas there. Tagline not essential. Leave it out unless you think it really works well.
We want the conga part to be the main, leaving the rest flexible so we can do something like Virgin style branding, utilising the name for a number of different business. Hosting and Web development are our current main businesses.
Want to be able to put the logo on a polo and be able to wear it out casually.
We want the logo to be professional enough to sit comfortably with corporates, yet our main appeal would be the 25-35 yo cool, hip group. Think groove, jazz, mellow, sleek, smooth. We love open source, humanity, ecology, sustainability and want to attract these customers.
We love simple designs.
Font: Would prefer that you use a font that is licensed for @font-face for the "host" part of congahost. Again, this not 100% requirement but rather a nice to have.
Some free fonts licensed in this manner can be found here:
I have a particular fondness for cutout text, though I am not sure this would translate to business card or t-shirt design too well.
We want that anything after the word "conga" so it can be implemented as a font rather than an image (for seo purposes), so congawebhosting or congahosting could be options but for the sample logo, please design it as "congahost".
We are up for experimenting and ideas though, so if you think you have an idea that could work but doesn't quite fit with the above, feel free to give it a try. We consider you guys to be the professionals and to lead us here.

GF Vegetarian Thanksgiving 8: Apple/Pear Crisp and Stuffed Acorn Squash
I can't believe I've been doing daily posts for our Gluten-free Vegetarian Thanksgiving event for over a week now! For this eighth episode of our event, my friend Alisa of Go Dairy Free posted an oat-free recipe for Maple-Walnut Pear Crisp along with a sister recipe for a Pecan Apple Crisp. I just love crisps, and she is absolutely right, they are one of the easiest and most forgiving types of fruit desserts if you are gluten and dairy-free. I love me some pie crust, but they are so much work. Crisps are fun, too, because they are one of the few gluten-free baking recipes that you can ad-lib and do "to feel". I have been known to throw together many a crisp sans recipe. They are hard to mess up, honestly! Alisa's recipe looks brilliant, of course. I love that she uses nuts AND gluten-free flour and sweetens with yummy brown sugar and maple syrup. Fabulously, naturally vegetarian and even vegan!
As Thanksgiving has gotten closer, I've been finalizing my own Thanksgiving menu. Here's what I'm thinking.
For our main dish, we'll have a recipe that has signified Thanksgiving to me ever since I first made it over twelve years ago living in Boulder, Colorado, My main dish for Portobella Mushroom Stuffed Acorn Squash (See below). I'll top it with my favorite Nutritional Yeast Gravy. It might seem strange, but we've always enjoyed having some vegetarian or vegan Homemade baked beans with our Thanksgiving meal. This year I think I'll make it in the our brand new slow cooker! We usually have plain old mashed potatoes, but this year Elise's recipe for Duchess Potatoes (adapted to be dairy-free). Then I'll make some Homemade Orange Apple Cranberry Sauce with a side of gluten-free, vegetarian homemade French Bread. For Desserts we will have pre-made gluten-free pie from Crave Bakery in Gluten-free Pumpkin Pie and Pecan Pie Varieties, as well as homemade dairy-free gluten-free pumpkin and Gluten-free Apple Pie.
What are you having for your Thanksgiving dinner menu?
Portabella Stuffed Acorn Squash
24 oz. gluten FREE bread, cubed (any type works, even bread that isn't
that tasty)
1 tbsp. Olive oil
1 tbsp butter
1 medium onion, diced
2 medium carrots, diced
2 medium portabella mushrooms, diced
1/4 cup walnut (or pecan) pieces
1 1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1/2 cup fresh basil or other herb
1 cup warm vegetable broth
1/2 tsp. Black pepper
1/2 tsp. salt
For the Squash:
Stuffing Instructions:
1) Place bread cubes on cookie sheet and dry them for 20 to 30
minutes in a 250 degree oven, uncovered.
2) Heat olive oil and butter in a large saute pan. Add onion and
carrots, and saute over medium heat for 3 minutes until lightly
caramelized. Add mushrooms, nuts, and poultry seasoning, continuing
to saute for 2 minutes. Add fresh herb, and transfer to a large
mixing bowl, then add dried bread cubes, and mix well with broth. Let
sit for 30 minutes until bread absorbs all the liquid and the
stuffing is fluffy. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
Squash Instructions:
My favorite vegetarian "turkey"- excellent with gravy. Of course I
use a vegetarian gravy made from scratch using nutritional yeast, but
you don't have to. The stuffing is good on its own as well. Mmmm….
Thanksgiving memories.

Absolutely, and as you know, I was indeed one of them. My main criticism of DW would be the somewhat confined mentality, not approving of students visiting other teachers. There is a strong dominant idea that you should only follow one teacher. If not, you're just really confused. Well, I certainly won't deny having a strongly confused ego, but this approach isn't very helpful.heart wrote:Really?

For many who feel that they belong somewhere else, but don't know where to go, and don't get much support, it's indeed very hard. However, I still maintain that overall, for the greatest number of people, it's definitely a good thing. And you know what, even for those who struggled, including me, it can be a positive experience in retrospect.

Sending out the user info with the job neatly avoids all of these.

So, where is the point of (or advantage > of) maintaining a "partial user list"? It's a major difference. As usual, the devil is in the details. You might imagine your cluster application isn't doing a name lookup at all. But there are a whole bunch of things going on in libc that you don't think about before the application main() is called. Run 'strace' on your applications sometime to get an idea of how much the library initializers are doing. Add that to the libc operations and explicit lookups of the process that accepts the job, and you end up with a bunch of nameserver work. And each time the library does a name lookup, it's not a simple map operation. Look at how getpwent() and libc work with NIS. It must scan the user list linearly. In the typical case you end up transferring most of the user map for each name look-up. In a small group with a handful of personal workstation, this is no big deal. In a large cluster at a site with many users, all of this work is happening at the same time that the other nodes are requesting the user map (and perhaps the host map as well). -- Donald Becker becker at scyld.com Scyld Computing Corporation http://www.scyld.com 410 Severn Ave. Suite 210 Scyld Beowulf cluster system Annapolis MD 21403 410-990-9993

Remembering An American HeroPosted on 5/22/15 - by Curt Carter email@example.com SFC Charles Alexander Jones, sirMORE
As an American, I would like to thank you for your service and for your sacrifice made on behalf of our wonderful country. The youth of today could gain much by learning of heroes such as yourself, men and women whose courage and heart can never be questioned.
May God allow you to read this, and may He allow me to someday shake your hand when I get to Heaven to personally thank you. May he also allow my father to find you and shake your hand now to say thank you; for America, and for those who love you.
With respect, Sir

"If you are able, save for them a place inside of you....and save one backward glance when you are leaving for the places they can no longer go.....Be not ashamed to say you loved them....
Take what they have left and what they have taught you with their dying and keep it with your own....And in that time when men decide and feel safe to call the war insane, take one moment to embrace those gentle heroes you left behind...."
Quote from a letter home by Maj. Michael Davis O'Donnell
KIA 24 March 1970. Distinguished Flying Cross: Shot down and Killed while attempting to rescue 8 fellow soldiers surrounded by attacking enemy forces.
We Nam Brothers pause to give a backward glance, and post this remembrance to you, one of the gentle heroes lost to the War in Vietnam:
Slip off that pack. Set it down by the crooked trail. Drop your steel pot alongside. Shed those magazine-ladened bandoliers away from your sweat-soaked shirt. Lay that silent weapon down and step out of the heat. Feel the soothing cool breeze right down to your soul ... and rest forever in the shade of our love, brother.
From your Nam-Band-Of-Brothers

Mercedes has been developing a new car to fight the Porsche 911. We know this. But is this what it will look like?
This shot, which comes from Middle East Motoring (head over there for a shot of the rear), is purported to be a brochure scan of Mercedes' upcoming smaller sports car. They say the car will go on sale in 2015 as a 2016 model.
If that's the case, is the design already finalized? Not to harp on an old subject, but we did show you the design of the 2014 Corvette in 2011. The timeframe here matches perfectly.
Where I have an issue is saying the claim that these are brochure scans. In what world would a car that isn't going on sale until 2015 have brochures printed long before it's unveiled? As far as I know, printing is a fairly quick process. Also, there is no need for brochures, printed or digital, for a car that doesn't even have a date to be released.
So I'll take this for what I think it is: An educated rendering of Mercedes' sports car. I don't think it's the real thing, but I figure it could be pretty close to what we end up seeing in the flesh... whenever the car is unveiled.

Are the Ravens primed to shop their first-round pick in next month's draft?
Build your own mock draft:
Make your best guesses here for all 32 picks of the first round of the NFL Draft and you could win a trip to attend the 2014 NFL Kickoff game. Play now ...
"We've already gotten some calls about teams wanting to move up," general manager Ozzie Newsome said Wednesday of Baltimore's 17th overall selection.
NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport noted that clubs are "convinced" the Ravens will swing a deal with a receiver-needy team looking to jump the New York Jets at No. 18. One logical trade partner? We'd look to the San Francisco 49ers, a squad obviously on the prowl for more speed at the position.
Here's what else we learned from the Ravens on Wednesday:
1. "It's important we add a running back," John Harbaugh said. The coach reiterated that Baltimore is looking to bring in competition for Ray Rice and Bernard Pierce. As for Rice's legal entanglements, Newsome told reporters the team will "deal with Ray when that time comes," but emphasized that Baltimore was "talking about adding one, even two" backs long before Ray's February arrest.
2. Ozzie didn't have much to say about the national drama of Rolando McClain's on-again, off-again career: "At the end of the day," Newsome said, the former first-round draft pick "retired." Ozzie laughed off the idea that he's lost faith in Crimson Tide players, reminding the room that his son is currently enrolled at Alabama.
3. On the subject of piling up compensatory picks, Newsome gushed: "When you get a lot of picks, it allows you to do things like when we got Eugene Monroe last year."
4. Ozzie confirmed that he was hot on the trail of Brady Quinn during the 2007 draft. Saddled with the 29th pick, the Ravens were in talks to trade up with Dallas at No. 22, but Newsome said the Browns jumped in and "offered more" to the Cowboys. It's a scenario that left Baltimore without a young quarterback to groom, leading directly to the selection of Joe Flacco one year later.
5. The Ravens like their collection of cornerbacks, but they're a strong bet to add more come May: "You can't have enough corners," Ozzie opined.
6. After Harbaugh said last month that he was "disappointed" with Tyrod Taylor's progress under center, the coach named quarterback depth as one area needing an upgrade. Don't be surprised when the Ravens add a signal-caller in the later rounds.
The latest "Around The League Podcast" breaks out the crystal ball and predicts the potential surprises that could shake up the NFL Draft.

ReleasesBack to
Jimmy Smith
The tracks that make up Straight Life had been sitting in the Blue Note vaults since they were recorded on June 22, 1961, representing the only recorded output that year by Jimmy Smith and his trio of the era, which included guitarist Quentin Warren and drummer Donald Bailey. Somehow these ten songs got lost in the shuffle between the 1960 Blue Note date Crazy! Baby and Smith's leap into the national spotlight with his first Verve release, Bashin', in 1962. The trio swings along on six standards and three originals "Straight Life," "Jimmy's Blues," and two versions of "Minor Fare." Although not in the same league as Midnight Special or Prayer Meetin', it's great to hear this long lost hard bop session from the master of the Hammond B-3. ~ Al Campbell

Meth & Red to break out of 'jail'

- 2003-04-18
Hip-hop best buddies
Method Man
have already created rap magic with songs like "Whateva Man" and their 1999 collaborative record, Blackout! But it was their onscreen comic chemistry that made the duo's first movie, "How High," a hit, landing them a Right Guard deodorant campaign. Now it's about to make them a Hollywood laugh franchise.
Like a new-millennium version of the classic screen duo of
Richard Pryor
Gene Wilder
, Red and Meth have not one, but three buddy flicks in the works. According to their manager and film producer, the two rappers hope to start production this summer on the first film, which features the mischievous pair as average joes who are forced to become undercover DEA agents. The as-yet-untitled flick will be co-produced by
Danny DeVito
's Jersey Films, the same team that worked on "How High".
The second film, called "Jailbreakers," is a remake of a Japanese comedy from the same team that remade another Japanese film, last year's horror hit "The Ring." In "Jailbreakers," the Funk Doc and his boy Tical play inmates who break out of jail only to find that they've already been granted pardons.
Red and Meth's third film project, which may not go into production until early 2004, is described by a spokesperson as a hip-hop version of the blockbuster Broadway musical "The Producers," with the duo starring as aspiring record-label execs who promise their investors more than they can deliver.
And in a display of super-human strength and endurance, Redman and Method Man will somehow squeeze out enough time and energy between films to release one solo album each, as well as start recording a second collaborative album, tentatively titled B.A.S.I.C., which stands for "Bricks and Staten Island Connect."

HILLSBORO, Ore., Oct. 7, 2010 – Today, the German American School of Portland opened the doors of SolarLab, a one-of-a-kind interpretive and interactive educational exhibit for classroom and youth groups. The new option for local educational field trips is presented by SolarWorld, the largest and most experienced U.S. manufacturer of crystalline silicon solar power technology.
The laboratory, unveiled at an open house for media representatives and special guests, will enable kids to explore the environmental urgency of harnessing the sun's clean, inexhaustible energy as well as the history, physics and applications of solar technology. Featuring interactive, graphic and light-activated elements, SolarLab will be available to youth at the German American School, 3900 S.W. Murray Blvd. in Beaverton, as well as schools and other organizations elsewhere in the region.
"SolarLab showcases the simple wonder of combining sunlight with silicon to generate electricity using technology that is free of emissions, moving parts or maintenance," said Bob Beisner, vice president of SolarWorld Industries America. "In visiting SolarLab's inventive exhibits, we hope children enjoy a chance to cultivate their curiosity about an energy solution literally falling down all around us from the sun."
The exhibit is the second phase of a project to showcase solar power at the school. In partnership with Portland General Electric, Bonneville Environmental Foundation and Energy Trust of Oregon, SolarWorld donated 46 solar panels for a 7.8-kilowatt system on the school roof and façade in 2009. SolarWorld has supported both phases in appreciation of the school's role in bridging language and cultural differences as the Germany-based company established its 97-acre site and U.S. headquarters in Hillsboro.
The German American School is one of six schools in the United States accredited by the German government. About 165 students from pre-school to fifth grade and representing families from more than 20 nations attend the school.
The German American School of Portland is one of only a handful of German American schools in the country. Twenty-five percent of its students are from German-speaking households, while the other 75 percent are from households where English or a third language is spoken. More than 20 nationalities are represented at the school and students come from all parts of the Portland metro area, including Estacada, Lake Oswego, Banks and Portland. The school's mission is to provide an excellent educational experience for students while developing and maintaining fluency in both the German and English languages. Its curriculum meets academic requirements of both Oregon and the Federal Republic of Germany.
SolarWorld manufactures and sells solar power solutions and in doing so contributes to a cleaner energy supply worldwide. As the largest solar producer in the United States and Europe, SolarWorld employs about 3,200 people and carries out production in Hillsboro, Ore., and Freiberg and Arnstadt, Germany. From the raw material silicon to solar wafers, cells and panels, SolarWorld manages all stages of production ‒ including its own research and development. The company maintains high social standards at all locations across the globe and is committed to resource- and energy-efficient production. Headquartered in Bonn, Germany, SolarWorld was founded in 1998 and has been publicly traded on the stock market since 1999. For more information, visit www.solarworld-usa.com.
