Fran Healy on Good Day New York
Fran Healy stopped by Good Day New York last week where he performed "Buttercups," the first single off his debut solo album Wreckorder. Watch his performance here.
Fran will be heading out on tour next month with The Killers' front man Brandon Flowers. More information is available at www.myspace.com/franhealy.
Matt White Heading Out On Tour
Matt White will be hitting the road this fall in support of his sophomore release, It's The Good Crazy. The singer, songwriter and piano phenom kicks off at Los Angeles' Viper Room on Oct 20th and then covers cities throughout the Northeast, Southeast and Midwest until the beginning of December. He will be accompanied by his band and playing material from the new album.
Matt White will also make a quick stop back home in New York City to appear on the CBS Saturday Early Show's Second Cup Cafe on October 23rd.
The Early Show performance is the latest in a wave of nationally-televised appearances (Entertainment Tonight, ABC News and Access Hollywood) and press adulation for Matt White. Artist Direct rates It's The Good Crazy 4.5 out of 5 stars, stating "Matt brings us back to when pop was fearless." AOL Popeater claims "when it comes to writing catchy piano-driven songs, Matt White is a seasoned professional." Billboard adds that "the lead single, 'Falling in Love (With My Best Friend),' is a sugary earworm with playful acoustic guitar and smart, simple lyrics."

Fran Healy's Wreckorder Out Now
Fran Healy's debut solo album WRECKORDER is out today. "WRECKORDER proves to be Healy's most thoughtful work since Travis' The Invisible Man," raves The Onion, while Filter Magazine praises Healy's "effortless craftsmanship and wide range ... that work to perfection."
Beginning November 10th in Los Angeles, CA, Healy will join The Killers' frontman Brandon Flowers for a two week tour of the United States.
WRECKORDER is available now with exclusive fan bundles at franhealy.hasawebstore.com. The album is also available on iTunes and Amazon as well as at local retailers. For more tour information, visit www.franhealy.com.
Will Hoge's The Living Room Sessions Out 10/12
The six-song acoustic EP was recorded in only two days in Hoge's living room and features stripped-down versions of essential songs ("Long Gone," "Favorite Waste of Time," "Goodnight/Goodbye," "Too Late Too Soon" and "Even If It Breaks Your Heart") from his latest album, THE WRECKAGE, and the fan favorite, "All Night Long," from Hoge's 2003 album, BLACKBIRD ON A LONELY WIRE.
"I like acoustic recordings that try to be different from the album versions," says Hoge. "We just got together and camped out at my house for a couple of days… it's not a home studio, no real fancy set-up or multi-tracking. The console was a laptop on a card table, and that same table also served simultaneously as the keyboard stand. There were no real overdubs or re-dos or pitch correct. We just did it 'til we liked it and let it be…not out of laziness, it just seemed to fit."
Hoge, the relentless road warrior, kicked-off his headlining tour last weekend in Nashville, which will continue through October. He'll then join rockers Shinedown on their "Anything & Everything" tour kicking-off Nov. 4 in Tampa, Fl. and wrapping up in New Orleans, La. on Dec 9. The tour spans over 25 major cities throughout the Midwest, Southeast and Northeast regions of the United States. More dates will be announced shortly.
More information regarding Hoge's upcoming tour is available at willhoge.com/tour.

German-American Citizens League of Greater Cincinnati
Deutsch-Amerikanische Bürger-Liga von Gross-Cincinnati
Old St. Mary's Historic Preservation Association
Germans have always been part of Cincinnati's history. In the first half of the 19th century, the surge of mid-European immigration resulted in a huge growth of German settlers. The vast majority chose the northeast quadrant of the city, above the Miami and Erie Canal, to seek new roots. Today, we know it as Central Parkway. Ninety thousand people lived in this area, dubbed "Over the Rhine", because of the influx of so many German-speaking citizens. Streets were named in German. German language was taught in schools and laws made in Cincinnati were bilingual.
By 1840, the growth of the Catholic newcomers necessitated the establishment of a new church. Father Joseph Hennie was given the task of creating St. Marien Kirche (St. Mary's Church). The block between 12th & 13th, Clay & Main Streets was purchased from the estate of General Arthur St. Claire, first governor of the Northwest Territories, and the man who gave Cincinnati its name.
The cornerstone was laid on March 25, 1841, the Feast of the Annunciation, with 10,000 people attending. With little money or resources, the parishioners did most of the construction themselves. The women baked bricks in their ovens, while the men felled and hewed whole trees to form the mammoth beams spanning the width of the church, requiring no supporting columns under the hand-painted canvas ceiling.
On July 4, 1842 the structure was dedicated. It was then the largest church in the valley, at 142 ft. by 65 ft., with a tower reaching 170 ft. The clock in the tower is the oldest in Cincinnati. Levi Coffin, who is credited with saving over three thousand slaves during the underground railway movement, cast the three church bells. The smallest bell, "Little Anne", was used for many years as a fire alarm for the northeastern section of the city. Listed on the National Registry of Historic Places, St. Mary's Church is the oldest house of worship in Cincinnati, and contains many hand carved wooden statues, preserved paintings and Bavarian stained glass windows.
The parish continues to preserve the rich liturgical and cultural heritage of the Catholic tradition. Sunday Masses are celebrated in Latin, German and English.

The PUMA Ocean Racing powered by BERG team was back racing today, finishing third in the V&A Waterfront In-Port Race in Cape Town, South Africa, as part of the Volvo Ocean Race 2011-12. PUMA was in the lead through the fourth mark before dropping to third following sail damage. Team Telefónica finished first in today's race while CAMPER was second. PUMA now sits fourth in the overall standings with nine points.
"We blew our spinnaker up at the first leeward mark," said skipper Ken Read. "It was a bit unlucky, but it was good to be racing again. These things happen. We're really happy to get on the podium, and we're ready start the leg tomorrow."
A quick downwind start saw winds blowing 20-25 knots on the first run with PUMA and Telefónica sailing in familiar territory – neck-in-neck. A solid jibe before mark No. 1 put PUMA in the lead. The crew remained in the first position around the fourth mark, before it was downwind sailing again, and at that point PUMA was without the spinnaker and fell to third.
"We had a great first lap and a solid lead, but we knew that second run we were in trouble because we weren't going to have that big red kite." Read said. "The boat was going fast, which has definitely boosted our confidence. The shore crew has done an incredible job to get us ready to race again."
Leg 2 of the race begins Sunday and will take the six teams from Cape Town to Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. Start time is 13:00 UTC/15:00 local in Cape Town. The PUMA Ocean Racing team will be offshore racing again for the first time since PUMA's Mar Mostro suffered a broken mast on November 21 during the first leg of the race, sailing from Alicante, Spain, to Cape Town.
"Obviously we're looking forward to the start of the next leg," said helmsman Jono Swain. "The weather is not going to be as bad as we originally thought it was going to be a couple of days ago. The first night can be pretty miserable coming out of Cape Town as you're usually bashing into the southeaster. We're confident after today, and we saw our speed was good. We're a sail boat again, and just to be out there sailing again is the main thing."

Featured Story
What Kim Jong Il's Death Means for the Global EconomyAll eyes are on North Korea and its repressed economic system this week after the country announced early Monday that Kim Jong Il, the ruling dictator for 17 years, died Saturday. The political instability to follow Kim Jong Il's death could ripple through the global economy, weighing on confidence and growth.
Kim Jong Un, the third son of the deceased leader, will take his place. Kim Jong Un is only in his late-twenties, and has only been groomed for the role since 2008, compared to his father's 14 years of training.
While North Korea has remained economically isolated from much of the world, its military aggression, volatile relationship with South Korea and the United States, and the uncertainty surrounding Kim Jong Un's readiness to lead has put the world on alert.
"This is a tinderbox situation," said Money Morning Chief Investment Strategist Keith Fitz-Gerald. "Almost nothing is known about Kim Jong Un, this "Great Successor.' The deeper questions are the longer-term issues related to a potential power struggle within the ruling elite, given that Kim Jong Un may not have the training nor the power base from which to assume control. Now is the time to watch carefully."
That said, here's what to monitor in the global economy as North Korea rebuilds after Kim Jon Il's death.
North Korea's economic future: North Korea is a notoriously closed society and has shunned foreign investment. Kim Jong Il had started to show signs of possibly being open to economic reform. He even toured Chinese factories to learn about their rapid economic growth, and visited Russia to discuss building a gas pipeline across North Korea.
Of course, that's unlikely to change at least until the country's new leader gets established.
Still, there's hope the long-term outlook for North Korea will change since Kim Jong Un has more Western world exposure than his father, having attended school in Switzerland. That could encourage him to reach out more to other countries to help improve his impoverished nation.
"With China as its example, I am hopeful that North Korea comes out of its shell and slowly crawls to its borders to see who is willing to start a dialogue and trading with the rogue robot nation," said Money Morning Capital Waves Strategist Shah Gilani. "If it's going to be a scary and not a salutary coming out party, all bets are off; but I'm a betting man, and I'm betting North Korea will emerge from its cocoon."
South Korea's economy: South Korea faces the biggest economic disruption. The country already forecast a drastic export slowdown for 2012, with shipments growing only 7.4% next year, compared to 19.2% in 2011. The threat of North Korean instability could also slam consumer confidence, and cause the economy to grow even slower than the 3.7% gain predicted for next year.

It's Time to Brace for a Repeat of 2008
If you think the global economy is out of the woods now that the European Union (EU) has expanded its effort to solve the sovereign debt crisis, then I'm afraid you're sorely mistaken.
No doubt, the European crisis is far from being solved - but that's hardly the only potential economic catastrophe looming on the horizon.
Indeed, two successive articles in the Financial Times last week warned of a new disaster approaching: They forecast 25% declines in financing volume for both commodities finance and aircraft purchases in 2012.
Now that would be truly bad news.
You see, the most job-destroying feature of the 2008-09 recession was a 17% decline in world trade that was caused by the financial crash and the disruption to the world's banks. That decline intensified recessionary conditions and caused millions of job losses worldwide. Some 700,000 jobs were being lost each month in the United States alone for a period in early 2009. That's more than double the previous worst monthly losses since World War II.
And now we could be in for a repeat.
In fact, it's hard to see how one can be avoided.
In today's distorted world financial system, a combination of over-loose monetary policy, intractable budget deficits, and tightening regulation seems to have made a credit crunch more or less inevitable.
So if you're smart, you'll take a moment to examine exactly why, and then figure out who the winners and losers are going to be.
Here's how.
A Disruptive DisconnectWhen you look at bank lending, it's clear that the link between the huge amount of world money growth and the meager supply of lending to productive enterprise is broken.
U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke and his international colleagues can hand as much money as they like out to banks, but if the banks don't lend it, that money will be wasted. And right now the banks aren't lending to trade and private businesses for three reasons:

Being a collegiate meal, these are no-knead, super easy, and make a small portion that's enough for just you and your roommates. Of course, you could scale up the recipe. Total prep/cooking time is probably about an hour with some washing and waiting time in between.
Step 1: Ingredients and Tools
~1 1/8 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup milk (I used 2% here, but you can use anything. I bet buttermilk would add an awesome tangy-ness)
1/3 cup water
1 tbsp butter
1/8 tsp instant yeast
1/8 tsp salt
cornmeal for dusting (optional. I didn't have any on hand)
spatula (one for working the dough, another for working the griddle)
measuring cups
rolling pin (I used a cylindrical glass)
round cookie cutter (or try the lip of a cup or as tayzzmom suggests - a tuna can with the ends cut out)
working surface (I worked on a cutting board and some parchment because our counter is nasty)
plastic container for rising (yogurt container works for me)
griddle (frying pan works too. just need lots of cooking space)
microwaveable cup
As you can probably tell, being a student requires some craftiness. Just use whatever tools you have lying around.
Thank you so much for sharing this recipe! It really is now a family favorite and one my daughter is learning to make herself. Super easy and so delicious!!
I'm glad you like them :)
(And yes, I AM making sausage, egg, and cheese muffins...why do you ask?) ;)
Here in Brazil, we have italian immigrants that had nothing to eat when they came to our southern states, unless they plant something. Corn and wheat were easy to grow, so they tried them. From that, they were able to make pasta and polenta, which is the cornmeal boiled in water with a bit of salt, and then they dried it and fried it, adding some muzzarella cheese at the top, and enjoied it with some bread and chiken.
I hope I had some new information to you all.
Best Regards, dudaott
You`re 100% right! The polenta can be made from assorted cereals, and it is always pleseant...
Best regards, dudaott
Anyway, my plan was to just substitute half of the AP flour for whole wheat flour. I've read that you can safely replace up to half of it without compromising the structure of the bread. Too much, and there won't be enough gluten to hold all the little bubbles in the dough.
I will definitely try these. They look really simple to make. Thanks for the recipe!
I'm not sure if there actually is a difference between a muffin and a barm cake. Regardless, these look great. Can't wait to try them.
Why must the British have so many names for everything!? Heh...

listened to the itunes archive of dan's radio show while getting some work done overnight.. was talking about gronk and about protecting players from head injuries. he knows wes from his miami days. was really concerned that wes was allowed to play after his first official concussion. dan says he's ben concerned for years esp after watching film of him at texas tech of wes being lit up again and again from obvious head shots mainly from special teams. he knows of the constant headaches and has heard some alarming backstage stuff.
he thinks wes has had dozens of concussions. he says he cant help but notice the same permanent, unnatural glazed look in wes' eyes that he once noticed with concern with Ali (esp before his trevor berbick match), and with chuck lindell and a few others of that ilk. feels that wes is "punch drunk" and needs an intervention. cant believe noone is coming to wes' aid for its so logically obvious... thinks the pats knew something. also feels that peyton isnt helping wes with all those flutter balls in tight windows. can see that wes is no longer getting the separation he used to and simply isnt quick enough to avoid certain hits anymore esp to his head.
dan doesnt like what he sees of him both on TV and lately in person. this is not the wes he came to know.. he really thinks something's off with wes healthwise and thinks he should seriously consider retiring after this year and shouldnt even play again this year. dan feels wes will be a negative stat example like some of the old uys like the old pats RB (kevin something) who today cant speak and move himself, sad statistic of lou gehrig's disease. dan cant see how this can possibly end well for WES!
the more dan talked, more i begin to think wes' drops may be caused by some latent form of parkinsons and that his indecision on that key punt may be just another symptom of his issues. dan really has me concerned for the future of wes' life!

Presidential Initiative:
Feed the Future
Funding Level:
$20 million
August 2013 – August 2017
Activity Goals:
- Improve the enabling environment
- Expand end market opportunities and catalyzing commercial investments
- Improve livestock productivity
- Promote the inclusiveness of women, youth and local groups
Activity Accomplishments:
- Identified community-based groups and institutions to be involved in policy, advocacy and training initiatives
- Identified key market opportunities for women and youth in upgrading and establishing model markets
Key Partners:
Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries, National Drought Management Authority, Kenya Agricultural Research Institute, Kimetrica, Pastoralist Community Initiative and Development Assistance
Activity Locations:
Isiolo and Marsabit Counties
Resilience and Economic Growth in Arid Lands – Accelerated Growth encourages growth by improving market access and increasing the availability and affordability of inputs and services. It strengthens the links between pastoralists and the buyers of livestock and livestock products. It helps herders increase livestock productivity through improved breeds and expands the adoption of existing and new livestock services.
The activity supports both men and women in the pursuit of livestock-related economic opportunities by encouraging investments in targeted community-managed infrastructure and by helping to eliminate market constraints. The introduction of private-sector driven innovations reduces risk, and encourages pastoralist communities to adopt new behaviors and new ways of doing business, which will increase their resiliency and ability to absorb the impact of future shocks and stresses.
Resilience and Economic Growth in Arid Lands – Accelerated Growth improves the enabling environment by working with pastoral communities to advocate for improved national policies and additional changes in legislation that will expand their access to critical services and markets. The activity identifies and engages with change agents to create or expand end-market opportunities and catalyze commercial investments in the meat, dairy, and hides and skins value chains. The activity increases livestock productivity by identifying and supporting the development of market-driven solutions that enable pastoralists to access new or improved inputs and services. It increases resilience by ensuring value chain growth is inclusive of women, men, youth and community groups that have the capacity to reach higher value markets, through the use of key partnerships and small-scale, demand-driven investments.
In July 2013, Pastor Charles Muthaura, a resident of Marsabit, was part of a team that participated in a training of trainers program and learning tour focused on pasture rehabilitation, organized by USAID's Resilience and Economic Growth in the Arid Lands–Accelerated Growth program. Marsabit, which is situated in Kenya's arid regions, is characterized by frequent and long periods of drought when many livestock die due to the lack of pasture and water. Pastoral communities in Marsabit are thus often exposed to economic hardship.
The objective of the training and learning tour was to equip the participants with information on how to increase the availability of pasture and fodder so that pastoral communities can maintain healthy livestock during times of drought. This included demonstrating techniques for minimizing environmental degradation and methods of growing fodder for commercial sales. After participating in the Accelerated Growth program's training in pasture rehabilitation, Pastor Muthaura returned to his community and transferred the knowledge he had acquired.
As a champion of change, Pastor Muthaura now teaches the 26 female members of Tumeamua Self Help Development Group (Tumeamua is the Swahili word for 'we have decided') how to grow Cenchrus Ciliaris, a special type of fodder that is indigenous, drought-resistant, and nutritious for the livestock. He also teaches them ways of managing fodder production for sustainability, such as through buying good seeds, observing the right season for planting and harvesting, as well as fencing the area under cultivation in order to protect the fodder from destructive, wandering herds.

Of all the posters in the BG series, BG106 was Graham's favorite. Mouse took inspiration for the British-bluesman John Mayall concert from a simple English tavern sign, and the clear lettering and pure colors bucked the psychedelic style that was in poster vogue at the time.
Before the dawn of computers and bar codes, Bill Graham Presents printed their own concert tickets, many of which are now considered exceptional works of art in their own right. Small facsimiles or derivations of the show's promotional posters, they were typically color-coded to indicate multi-night engagements and represent a bygone era of extended, one-venue engagements by major performers. So that Bill could reconcile sales each night, patrons purchased tickets at the venue box office and handed them right back over at the door, thus ending up in the archive as mint condition concert tickets. We may occasionally and in select cases offer for sale one-of-a-kind, extremely rare and valuable concert tickets in less than mint condition.

Running is the most exhilarating, exhausting, and beautiful exercise that I have ever tried. Studies have shown that running in combination of diet and running is one of the most effective ways to lose weight. Running is a rigorous cardiovascular exercise. It allows the person to burn at least 100 calories per mile. What is really cool about running is that everyone can do it. All you need are a pair of sneakers, some wonderful playlist, and the courage to lace up your shoes and just…go.
So how does running affect your health?
Running helps you combat heart disease. It prevents high blood pressure. Being active helps boost the high density lipoprotein or the good cholesterol, and decreases the bad cholesterol. It also prevents cardiovascular diseases. Running helps you manage your illnesses, like depression. As part of my recovery and coping with depression, my doctors all recommended running or walking to release pent up anger and sadness. It really helps. Every little bit counts.
And, what can I say about the beautiful endorphins that kick in after a run? It's refreshing and relaxing. You may feel better about yourself and your appearance regularly. Your confidence and self-esteem will skyrocket too.
Regular running will also improve your muscle strength and endurance. Running can also help deliver oxygen and nutrients to your tissues and increase your cardiovascular system's efficiency. It also helps your heart and lung work better. And this gives you more energy and stamina to do daily chores. Going up the stairs, carrying the groceries, and folding laundry: all these things become easier to do because of running.
Running is a beautiful way to maintain customized fat loss. You burn calories. The more intense the run, the more calories you burn. There is a study comparing fat burning in running and walking to cycling, and fat burning was 28% higher than cycling.
You do not need to set aside a lot of time for your running to get weight loss benefits. Running also helps you fall asleep faster and deeper.
You will get equally fit running on a treadmill or outdoors, from my experience. Treadmills give you some privacy and help you take breaks without people staring at you. There is also the beauty of changing inclinations on a treadmill.
Unlike many other forms of exercise, running does not wear or tear joints. It is gentle (if done correctly) on your joint and thus does not cause osteoarthritis. Running gives you a leg up (pun totally intended) against stroke, heart disease, and diabetes. it lowers blood pressure, and boosts immunity to viruses.
So run! Run and laugh with a forgiving sense of humor. It takes a lot of courage to lace your sneakers and then approach that treadmill or the ground outside. So, do yourself a favor, and pat yourself on the back for putting in the effort to try. And that is really what makes running so different from other work out regimens, I think? I think that is what makes it so beautiful. It is a liberating, freeing, and just exhilarating.
For someone with a foot injury, I can assure you that running is worthwhile. It helps your health, it helps your skin, and it helps your emotions. It helps you feel good and feel in control of your body, of your life, in a world where little control can be felt by anyone. It gives you a time to mull through things and realize how you feel about stuff happening in your life. You get to daydream if you want to, even!

Noakhali (Bengali: নোয়াখালী জিলা)[1] is a district in South-eastern Bangladesh. It is located in the Chittagong Division. The district has an area of 3601 km² and is bordered by Comilla district to the north, the Meghna estuary and the Bay of Bengal to the south, Feni and Chittagong districts to the east and Lakshmipur and Bhola district to the west. It has a population of 3,108,083. It is subdivided into nine Upazilas. The people of this district speaks in an informal Bangla dialect. Linguistically, it is connected to the districts of Feni and Laksmipur as well as some parts of the districts of Chandpur, Chittagong and Comilla. Indian nationals of Bilonia area of Tripura State also speaks in the same Noakhali dialect.
The ancient name of Noakhali is Bhulua. In the 1660s, the agricultural activities of the north-eastern region of Bhulua were seriously affected by floodwater of the Dakatia River following from the Tripura hills. To salvage the situation, a canal was dug in 1660 that ran from the Dakatia through Ramganj, Sonaimuri and Chaumuhani to divert water flow to the junction of the river Meghna and Feni. After excavating this long canal, Bhulua was renamed "Noakhali" after Noa => New, and Khal => Canal in 1668.
Two hundred years back from now Noakhali district was known as 'Bhulua Pargana'. South Shahbazpur, Lakshmipur, mainland of Noakhali district and a portion of present Feni district were included in the Bhulua Pargana. In 1821 Mr. Plyden, the then salt agent, got the additional charge of collectorate of Bhulua from the Governor General. He proposed to the Governor General to establish a new district when some administrative problems arose with other salt-agents of Bhulua. On 29 March 1822 the Governor General passed an order in this regards and accordingly a new district was constituated with south Shabajpur, Sudharam, Begumganj, Ramganj, Raipur, Lakshmipur, Feni, Parshuram, Elahabad pargana of Tippera and Hatia, Sandwhip & Bamni of Chittagong district. In 1876 Noakhali district was divided into two sub-divisions. Feni Sub-division was constituted with Chhagalnaiya thana of Tippera, Mirshari of Chittagong, Feni Pargana, Parshuram & Sonagazi. Sadar Sub-division was formed with the remaining areas.
Noakhali district, whose earlier name was Bhulua, was established in 1821. It was named Noakhali in 1868.
Noakhali was the site of the Noakhali riots in 1946 in which thousands of people were killed.[2]
Sudharam, the headquarters of Noakhali, got vanished in the river-bed in 1951, as a result of erosion of mighty Meghna. After that the headquarters of Noakhali was established at Maijdi. In 1964 Sadar Sub-division was divided into two sub-divisions, namely Sadar and Lakshmipur. In 1984, Noakhali district was divided into three districts, namely Noakhali, Lakshmipur and Feni.
Administrative Divisions[edit]
It has 9 Upazilas,8 Pourashava(Municipality),91 Union Parishads. The Nine Upazilas in NOAKHALI district are:

Places of interest[edit]
Nijhum Dweep
Nijhum Dweep is a small island under Hatiya upazila of Noakhali. A cluster of islands (mainly, Ballar Char, Kamlar char,Char Osman and Char Muri) emerged in the early 1950s as an alluvium in the shallow estuary of the Bay of Bengal On the south of Noakhali. These new sandbanks first drew the notice of a group of fishermen, who named it Baular Char. In 1974 the Forest Department took an aforestation program for a duration of twenty years in the north side of the island. Covering an area of nine thousand acres, it has now developed into a deep forest with a variety of plant species. Among the trees Keora is much seen. Besides this Gewa, Kankra, Bain, Babul, Karamja, Pashur and many other species are seen. It was renamed 'Nijhum Dweep' by former Minister Amirul Islam Kalam in 1979 observing its isolation and mild nature.
During winter, thousands of migratory birds flock in to island. The fishermen use the airy and sunny land as an ideal place for drying their catches from the sea. Sometimes many of them also construct straw huts on the island as seasonal residences.
On 8 th April, 2001 the government declared the 40390 acres of forest of Jahajmara range including 9550 acres of forest land on Nijhum Dweep as a National Park for the protection and development of the biodiversity of the forest. But in practice, there a very lazy appearance of that declaration.
Bazra Shahi Mosque
Bazra Shahi Mosque is one of the major archaeological works in undivided Bengal.It is situated 8 miles from district headquarter Maijdee Court. Amir Sanaullah, the owner of Bazra Jaigir started the construction of 'Bazra'Shahi Mosque' in the pattern of Tajmahal in the Hizri year 1134. The construction was completed in the Hizri year 1154. The 'Bazra Shahi Mosque' is a wonderful embodiment of Moghal architecture. In the year 1922, late Ali Ahmed, the Jaminder of Bazra, plastered the whole exterior of the mosque with piece of China clay, which greatly enhanced the beauty of the mosque.
Queen Lurther's Church- This is one of the oldest Church in the country and is situated in Sonapur.
Gandhi Ashram Trust|Gandhi Ashram
The establishment of Gandhi Ashram trust is rooted with the 'Peace Mission' of Mahatma Gandhi immediately after the communal riots in 1946 at Noakhali. Gandhi stayed for about four months in the riot stricken areas. He started moving around the villages and motivated the people towards his peaceful coexistence and non-violence philosophy. When Gandhiji came to Jayag on 29 January 1947 all sections of the local community extended him whole-hearted support. At that time, Barrister Hemanta Kumar Ghosh of the village donated all his resources to Mahatma for the development and peace of the area and "Ambika Kaliganga Charitable Trust" was formed.

My year in pictures: 2012
Oh man, lets see if i can do this. For the last two years it was possible for me to really take pictures to capture my month-to-month since the time was available for me. But this year i've been a non-stop work horse so being able to capture anything at all seemed a little impossible. However, i do this for myself. I like looking back and seeing the things that i did in the past because it makes me excited for the future. Especially with how much i change with each growing year. So, without further ado, here we go.
My brothers and i decided to move in together. They weren't home often enough to really live inside an apartment, and i wasn't financially stable enough to live on my own in an apartment i rarely would be at. It was a win win situation for all parties. I moved into a studio room that was used as storage so my room now that i've been living in sort of resembles the inside of a toy box.

IRVING, Texas – When this season started, there were many positions flooded with question marks from top to bottom. And after another 8-8 season, it's likely many of them still have their share of uncertainties.
One in particularly seems to stand out more than the rest.
The wide receiver position had nothing but question marks at the beginning of the year. And nothing has really changed with a training camp, four preseason contests and 16 regular season games later.
Sure, some things have become clearer in the process. But overall, the position has plenty of skepticism to go around.
For starters, the entire group is a MASH unit. Had the Cowboys won in Washington Sunday night, it would've very interesting to see how they would've played the game against Seattle this week.
It's kind of ironic the player who has taking the most 'beatings' from fans and media this year, is the only receiver still standing at the end of the year.
Now in between, Ogletree's production was hit or miss, and mainly miss. He ranked fourth on the team in both catches (32) and receiving yards (436) and third in touchdowns with four.
As an unrestricted free agent once again, Ogletree might not return in 2013. But then again, it could come down to the same thing as last year when the Cowboys didn't have a lot of players with experience and Ogletree's presence in the offseason was needed. And then in training camp, the group of
But this time, with Harris and Beasley showing some promise, coupled with Coale's return, Ogletree might not get re-signed at the start of free agency.
But let's shift the focus back to the top.
Dez Bryant's consistency has been in question since he arrived in 2010. And in the second half of the season, Bryant was arguably the team's most consistent player. He caught a touchdown in seven straight games, which tied a franchise record, but was dominating in the second half of games. He finally reached the potential the Cowboys saw in him to draft him despite some of the off-season risks.
But injuries have been a concern for him all along. Toughness shouldn't be questioned, considering he played through a fractured left index finger towards the end of the season, and still continued his touchdown streak, including a career game of 224 yards and two touchdowns against the Saints.
Where the Cowboys might have some decisions to make involves Austin, who should be healthy for the start of the offseason conditioning program despite the ankle injury. Overall, it was a quiet 66-catch, 943-yard season that included six touchdowns. His numbers were solid, considering he ranked third in catches and yards, but the "wow-factor" wasn't always there.
And with a contract that averages $9 million per season, Austin needed more of the big plays, especially in big games. Austin had a catch in every game this season except the two Redskins games, where he suffered a hip injury and then ankle injury last week.
The Cowboys might look to restructure Austin's deal, but outright releasing him, or even trading him, would take a hit on the salary cap – one they can't really afford considering they will attempt to re-sign

As a guest speaker, Gregg Harris gave the most unusual parenting message I've ever heard yesterday. Being childless, I haven't heard a ton of such messages, but I have listened to my fair share. (I believe we should seek to understand as many aspects of Christian life as possible, even if they aren't part of our current experience--that's why I listen to parenting messages.) What made this message unusual was that Gregg gave nearly the entire sermon before he began to address parenting specifically. All the teaching ahead of it powerfully brought home his three application points.
Gregg spoke from Psalm 127, which is one of the wisdom psalms. As he gave us an overview of biblical wisdom, he said several things that really struck me:
- Obedience is its own reward.
- We are to delight in God's commandments because they are the delivery system for His blessings.
- It's when we doubt God is good that His commands become a burden.
- God is working both sides of the equation: He is preparing us for good works and also preparing good works for us to do.
Then he turned to Proverbs 13:20, which says, "Whoever walks with the wise becomes wise, but the companion of fools will suffer harm." This led into the first parenting point: Are you the wise companion? Or is the way you live making your child a companion of fools?
Of all the materials I've read and heard about parenting, I've never heard this question raised in this manner. Until Gregg got to this point in his sermon, I kept wondering why it was titled, "Don't Waste Your Kids." I knew we were in the midst of this "Don't Waste Your [insert topic here]" series, but until this moment it wasn't clear to me how he was going to tie everything to the sermon title. Once he asked it, everything fell into place brilliantly. It's a challenging question.
To hear the other two points, download "Don't Waste Your Life." Even if you don't have children, I encourage you to listen to this message. It's not only a solid message on biblical wisdom, it's a great overview on the goals of discipling the next generation. The most intensive discipling relationship is the parent-child one, but many of us have other opportunities to disciple children -- from formal structures like children's ministry to informal opportunities such as "auntie" relationships. The question of whether we are wise or foolish companions to the children in our lives is relevant and thought-provoking.

playing the victim, yet
erect in righteousness and purity:
this is me.
I am not broken, I need not be sewn
to shy from kindness I have been known
I envy the tree
as it's apathetic and free.
Standing through harsh conditions
breezy days
heartless human ways;
standing its ground.
why am I not this way?
fickle and fierce
knowing good loving
loving good forgetting
and if my existence vanished?
ending in a moment,
no one would famish.
not a soul would know
or feel the slightest loss.
maybe relief,
yet never grief.
I am dark
my heart is black
my head is dead
my conscience wack
my body lead.
the drive to do right
masks inability to live
inconsistency to love
what do I give?
not a damn thing.
No, I am not one on which you will find wings.
eating, eating, eating:
eating, eating, eating.
a web of lies? a web to hide
away in for a bit of life
the sun will set
the sun will rise
upon unconscious unborn
lovely wings that fly.
seemingly infinite bits of time pass by
as the sleeping worm transforms
and the driven state
of uniform wake
will cease;
yet, her design was never forlorn.
once the ice melts
and the flowers bud
a new winged creature
has begun
looking upon the fruits of life
she hesitates, not
fast is her flight
odessa, texas. hip-hip-hooray.
metamorphosis is real.
I once was a poor, oily sea otter
void the dream of bathe or change
reveling in the darkness of my day
doomed to go on that hopeless way
one charmingly crisp, clear aquamarine morn
my small otter eye got curious.
it wandered upwards as my head tilted back;
the vision yet gazed showed stunning
and I slowly overcame with cunning
'twas Mighty Helios, infamous golden charioteer
directing his steeds of fire and life
my small otter eyes started to tear;
every ounce of emotion downward rolled
every drop to the ocean: joy overflowed.
as my otter eye closed,
fur turned to feather
oil turned to wind
glistening white, still wet from the water
oxygen pumping, no tragedy could bother
once hot blooded, now hollow boned
strong yet fragile
compassionate and flying
through the skies; statuesque, graceful
my bird brain computes as only grateful
My Titan, My Sun
of all light do you comand
enlightening my free, feathery wing
listening, honest-to-god as I sing
every break of day without fail
once again at night, assuring remembrance
your beautiful, luminous face
shall infinite be my steady route home.
I, steadfast, shall never again roam
house of the rising sun,
can you feel my glow?
rays unexplained shoot from my marrow
this is you, as we are us.
inseparable, in love.
"Does it hurt?" asked the Rabbit.
"Sometimes," said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful. "When you are Real you don't mind being hurt."
"Does it happen all at once, like being wound up," he asked, "or bit by bit?"
"It doesn't happen all at once," said the Skin Horse. "You become. It takes a long time. That's why it doesn't happen often to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand."
— from The Velveteen Rabbit (or How Toys Become Real) by Margery Williams, 1922
finger all those holes
from your musical joy
stick, changing volume
with the power in your
breath, out from thy chest;
though perfunctory pitch,
a sweet savory bliss
emanates from this lovely
simple masterful stick.
my body dances with delight,
half circles and bobs
my head throbs with
passion for the melody,
repetitious implosion
from harmonic explosions
controlled by your fingers.
chorus cooing "up, girl"
I rise to occassion
drunk on sublimation;
yet, as soon down low
control my movement
with your flow.
don't dare replace my lid
keep the music playing
slowly, yet
as i'm about to weep
Epicurean feats
unraveling from my rattles…
I am released
winding unto myself,
my basket of wealth;
yet, the music not removed
though your charm has proved:
I am innocent, you are ruthless.
we are rhythmic to our eternal
ritual never to be known fruitless
I meet you. I remember you. Who are you? You're destroying me. You're good for me. How could I know this city was tailor-made for love? How could I know you fit my body like a glove? I like you. How unlikely. I like you. How slow all of a sudden. How sweet. You cannot know. You're destroying me. You're good for me. You're destroying me. You're good for me. I have time. Please, devour me. Deform me to the point of ugliness.

Peaceful family getaway at beautiful, clean house
The house and location were exactly what we were looking for. The interior pictures do not do this property justice and the house has many extras not typically found in a rental property. The house is beautiful, clean and private, located on a dead-end street. The owner was so welcoming and accommodating. We hope to return for a weekend in the winter!
Private, Comfortable House
This house is situated on a very private road. It is immaculate inside and very comfortable (beds, couch, reclining chair, bar, etc.). The woodwork in this place is impressive as well as many of the framed drawings on the walls done by one of the home owners. The house is well-stocked, has a great screened in porch, a fantastic deck (with a nice netted canopy around the table and chairs to keep the mosquitoes away), and a large back yard. We really loved the view of the water from the back yard and the dock and spent a lot of time out there. Even though this end of the river is shallow, there was still plenty of water to do some kayaking, a little fishing (my husband caught a small-mouth bass), some swimming (our dog), and a lot of fun rock throwing (our son). The satellite TV, internet and WiFi were also much appreciated (Note: There is no cell phone coverage at the house). The house is conveniently located to major roads that can take you all over (hikes in the Adirondacks, the quaint town of Northville, Sacandaga Lake, shopping and amenities in Amsterdam, Lake George and Saratoga- just to name a few). Meghan and Arthur also provided a bottle of local wine, a bottle of sparkling water, chocolates, and a dog bed and toy for our dog's stay; just so incredibly thoughtful! We won't hesitate to stay here again, whether next time in the fall or again in the summer!
Great Experience
I was very happy with my stay here. The house was very spacious, clean, nicely furnished, and had everything we needed stocked. The use of the owner's kayaks and paddleboat was a huge plus. The view of the lake from the house/patio was fantastic. The owners went way beyond expectations in terms of hospitality/nice-ness/helpfulness. They went out of their way to ensure we had a fun weekend.

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (AP) -- The widower of an Ohio woman killed in a January crash has filed a wrongful-death lawsuit against a truck driver and the company that owned the vehicle.
The Journal Gazette reports (http://bit.ly/12ONQOy ) Mark Dealey's lawsuit filed Tuesday in federal court in Fort Wayne is the third filed in connection with the New Haven crash.
His suit names Kutzler Express and truck driver Scott A. Saunders, who caused a six-vehicle crash when he failed to slow down at an intersection and rear-ended a line of vehicles.
Dealey's 43-year-old wife, Sandra Dealey of Convoy, Ohio, died from blunt-force trauma in the crash that killed another woman.
Court documents say Dealey is suing for funeral expenses, wages Sandra would have earned at work and compensation for Dealey and the couple's six children.

Millions of pieces of malware and thousands of malicious hacker gangs roam today's online world preying on easy dupes. Reusing the same tactics that have worked for years, if not decades, they do nothing new or interesting in exploiting our laziness, lapses in judgment, or plain idiocy.
But each year antimalware researchers come across a few techniques that raise eyebrows. Used by malware or hackers, these inspired techniques stretch the boundaries of malicious hacking. Think of them as innovations in deviance. Like anything innovative, many are a measure of simplicity.
[ Verse yourself in 14 dirty IT security consultant tricks, 9 popular IT security practices that just don't work, and 10 crazy security tricks that do. | Learn how to secure your systems with the Web Browser Deep Dive PDF special report and Security Central newsletter, both from InfoWorld. ]
Take the 1990s Microsoft Excel macro virus that silently, randomly replaced zeros with capital O's in spreadsheets, immediately transforming numbers into text labels with a value of zero -- changes that went, for the most part, undetected until well after backup systems contained nothing but bad data.
Today's most ingenious malware and hackers are just as stealthy and conniving. Here are some of the latest techniques of note that have piqued my interest as a security researcher and the lessons learned. Some stand on the shoulders of past malicious innovators, but all are very much in vogue today as ways to rip off even the savviest users.
Stealth attack No. 1: Fake wireless access points
No hack is easier to accomplish than a fake WAP (wireless access point). Anyone using a bit of software and a wireless network card can advertise their computer as an available WAP that is then connected to the real, legitimate WAP in a public location.
Think of all the times you -- or your users -- have gone to the local coffee shop, airport, or public gathering place and connected to the "free wireless" network. Hackers at Starbucks who call their fake WAP "Starbucks Wireless Network" or at the Atlanta airport call it "Atlanta Airport Free Wireless" have all sorts of people connecting to their computer in minutes. The hackers can then sniff unprotected data from the data streams sent between the unwitting victims and their intended remote hosts. You'd be surprised how much data, even passwords, are still sent in clear text.
The more nefarious hackers will ask their victims to create a new access account to use their WAP. These users will more than likely use a common log-on name or one of their email addresses, along with a password they use elsewhere. The WAP hacker can then try using the same log-on credentials on popular websites -- Facebook, Twitter, Amazon, iTunes, and so on -- and the victims will never know how it happened.

DPS Rotation & Cooldowns (5.4.8)
Maintaining a proper Rotation and using the right Cooldowns is essential to maximizing your Arcane Mage. Use this guide to optimize your single target and AoE rotations while learning how to get the most out of your cooldowns.
Single Target Rotation
Armor: Frost Armor
DPS Priority: Execute the following priority for optimal DPS.
- Living Bomb maintain at all times.
- Arcane Missiles when you have 2 charges saved.
- Arcane Barrage with 4 Arcane Charge.
- Arcane Blast to build Arcane Charge.
The goal of the Arcane Mage DPS rotation is to stay above 80% Mana as much as possible for the damage buff from Mastery Mana Adept. To execute the Arcane DPS rotation, apply and maintain Living Bomb on your target. After that, cast Arcane Missiles whenever you have a 2nd charge stored. Use Arcane Barrage when you have 4 Arcane Charge. Build Arcane Charge by casting Arcane Blast as a filler ability. In addition to executing the DPS priority, you should always remain within a Rune of Power to maximize your Mana regen and DPS.
Arcane Power: Use Arcane Power on cooldown and stack with as many trinkets and pots as possible. With Arcane Power active, spam Arcane Blast and Arcane Missiles while using your Mana Gem to keep Mana up. When Arcane Power ends, follow the normal priority. Every other Arcane Power should be used with Alter Time.
Alter Time: Try to use Alter Time when you have 2x Arcane Missiles, 4x Arcane Charge, and Arcane Power is up. When Alter Time is active, quickly use the Arcane Missiles procs and then spam Arcane Blast. Use Arcane Barrage just before Alter Time resets your buffs. At this point, continue with the normal rotation.
AoE Rotation
At <= 4 enemies, maintain the single target rotation, but apply Living Bomb to all targets. With > 4 enemies, maintain Living Bomb on multiple-targets and cast Flamestrike on cooldown. Use Arcane Explosion as a filler and to generate Arcane Charge. Cast Arcane Barrage when Arcane Charge stacks equal the number of enemies in the group.
Effective Cooldowns
These effective cooldowns are available if you chose them in your talent build.
- Living Bomb Maintain at all times.
These are effective cooldowns to try and incorporate into most all encounters.
- Alter Time See the detailed description in the single target DPS section.
- Arcane Power Use as directed in the single target DPS section.
- Evocation Replaced by Rune of Power. Always stand on a Rune of Power.
- Mana Gem Stack with other cooldowns to slow Mana loss for more Mastery benefit.
- Mirror Image Use on cooldown for a moderate DPS boost.
- Time Warp Use as directed by your raid or party leader.
