Baby name inspiration can come from anything (just ask Beyonce). From seasons to holidays to classic rock songs, moms and dads have bestowed upon their little ones all kinds of unique names. But! We can't stop there -- let's add some to the list!

Price-fixing cartels: China crackdown continues
Major new enforcement action in the People's Republic of China shows both the continuing crackdown on price-fixing cartels and an increased level of awareness about the prohibitions. Members of a cartel based in Guangdong, a coastal province near Hong Kong and Macao, have been fined more than RMB750,000 (US$120,000) in the latest action by the National Development and Reform Commission.

Suggestions for a Last-Minute Election Party
Despite all the debates, poll-checking, and political mailings, somehow election day snuck up on me. Inevitably, my boyfriend and I are going to be glued to the tube, and it dawned on me that perhaps some of our friends would like to make the nail-biting a communal activity. Here are some ideas I've come up with to turn election night into a last-minute party.
Food: For a last-minute party, it's probably best to keep it simple. Here are some candidate-themed foods that won't take too long to whip up.
For Obama, you could set up a Chicago-style hot dog bar (just don't supply ketchup if there's a real Chicagoan in the room; trust me). The ingredients are pretty easy to source, and this way, guests can customize their food. If you don't want to supply a whole meal, try making a quick and easy Chicago snack — maybe your own caramel corn as a riff on the ever-popular Garrett's Corn.
For Romney, you could prepare New England Clam Chowder (or Fish Chowder, if the clams aren't readily accessible). If you want something a bit sweeter, you could opt for a cranberry dessert, since the cranberry is Massachusetts' state fruit, or you could try your hand at a no-bake Boston Cream Pie or Boston Cream Cupcakes.
If you want to represent libertarian candidate Gary Johnson, go for southwestern fare, perhaps Mexican chicken soup, easy slow-cooker carnitas (start these as soon as you decide to host!), or a simple dish of guacamole as a snack.
For Green Party candidate Jill Stein, you could make a green-themed salad with avacado, pepitas, and other all-green ingredients, or you could opt for this creamy green-pea dip or kale chips.
Beverages: If you're looking to spice things up with some American-themed cocktails, try the El Presidente, the Americano, or any of the "Great American Cocktail Crawl" recipes from The Kitchn.
As for me, I'll be choosing an array of good American craft beers. I'm fortunate enough to live down the street from Revolution Brewing, so I know where my election-night loyalties will lie, but there are a lot of great options out there.
Activities: I've never been that into party games, but on election night, I really like keeping track as the votes come in. It could be fun to make a few print-outs of these maps, pick up some dollar-store crayon sets, and fill in the reds and blues as they are reported.
Music: If all the commentary gets to be overwhelming, you could mute the TV and stay in the mood with some Americana tunes. I put this music mix together for 4th of July, but I think it works just as well in this context.
Do you have any other ideas or suggestions for a last-minute get-together?

I live in the UK and for some reason whenever Obama is featured in a news report he is shown arriving with an armful of pizzas. What's that about! Considering this I say no election party should take place without pizzas :)
If you're going with Romney-themed food, ya gotta have green Jell-O, preferably with something like mini marshmallows or grated carrot floating in it. A Mormon favorite.
If you're an Obama fan instead, throw in some Wasatch Brewing Company Polygamy Porter.
that map idea is actually pretty nifty! simple, and yet something my friends and I would get giggly over after a few glasses of wine...
The reason the President is shown with those pizzas is that he has the habit of showing up at campaign offices and bringing pizza to the staff/volunteers. It's a habit of his, and apparently has been since he was first running for Congress. I mean, we all know he didn't ORDER the pizzas, or pick them up, but it's nice that he delivers them. I am sure it means a lot to the people who have been working on his behalf.
Wait.....no mention of cheesy grits for Romney supporters?
No party, but I'm making a pizza without knowing this. Ironic.
For Rocky Anderson, how about a pint of Rocky Road and a nice green tree to sit under.
I don't want to party - I just want it to be over. Tired of all of it.
Hello, Folks! I'm a bit late, but since President Obama calls Chicago home, and Chicago is known for pizza, (especially deep dish) it's perfectly appropriate that he'd be shown with pizzas.
Yep - go Obama!

A Hummer of an Experience
Auto reviewer Ann Job heads to Hummer boot camp to drive the H1.
The Hummer H1, right, is based on the military all-purpose vehicle known as the Humvee, left.
Suddenly, it's not important that actor-turned-governor Arnold Schwarzenegger is the biggest fan of the military Humvee and the owner of multiple Hummers. The Hummer H1s sold in the United States last year don't seem like such a big deal as do the thousands of Humvees sold and delivered to the U.S. military.
What matters is that three MPs walked away from a Humvee after its front end was blown off in Bosnia, and that a U.S. Army Ranger in gritty Mogadishu, Somalia, was saved when an RPG—rocket-propelled grenade—failed to penetrate the door of his Humvee.
Stories like these filter back to the South Bend, Indiana, home of the Humvee and Hummer all the time. "In the past month, we have had two phone calls from soldiers who served in Afghanistan who called to say they wanted to thank the people who made the vehicle that saved their lives," said Craig Mac Nab, director of public relations for AM General.
Humvee History
There's not one kind of Humvee. There's one heavy-duty platform that can be fitted with various vehicle configurations, parts and accessories to handle a variety of military and peacekeeping missions.
The word "Humvee" is short for HMMWV—High Mobility Multi-purpose Wheeled Vehicle. It was designed to meet specs the U.S. military issued in 1979 for a new kind of flexible military vehicle.
The specs required that the new mobile transporter for troops have a 16-inch ground clearance, which is roughly double the ground clearance of today's average sport-utility vehicle. The new vehicle being sought by the U.S. military had to be able to climb a 60 percent incline and cling to a dramatic 40 percent slope without a problem. It had to be able to carry a 2,500 payload—akin to the payload of some heavy-duty pickups—and ford through 2.5 feet of water.
The military said it needed to carry the vehicle to inhospitable locations by ship, plane or helicopter. The chopper ride, by the way, could necessitate dropping the vehicle from the air at a speed of 200 miles an hour! The military also expected a 15-year service life, at a minimum, and the new vehicle had to be ready to travel in extreme conditions—arctic cold of minus 50 degrees or on nine different kinds of sand found around the world.
South Bend-based AM General took just 11 months to meet the government specs. Its answer: The diesel-powered Humvee, also known at the outset as "the war wagon."
Among the highlights of the Humvee design: Its small, vertical windshield is engineered so light won't reflect upward and give away troop positions to overhead airplanes. Its lightweight and rust-resistant aluminum body can be coated with special military paint that allows a very corrosive material to wash away biological contaminants.
Hummer vs. Humvee
AM General began delivering Humvees to the military in 1985. The vehicles saw first combat in Panama.
"One of the vehicles dropped by helicopter landed upside down; the [Army] Rangers rolled it over and drove it away," Mac Nab said.
Humvees also went to the first Gulf War, Somalia, Kosovo, Liberia and Bosnia. They're in Afghanistan and Iraq. Today, the U.S. Army has the most Humvees, followed by the Marines, then the Air Force and Navy. Some of the original Humvees are still in use. "The military uses it for everything—ambulance, cargo troop carrier, communications equipment carrier, weapons carriers," Mac Nab said.
The vehicle also is sold to "more than 40 friendly countries," he added. Price is "about $60,000" for a basic Humvee, with prices rising to around $150,000 for some of the specialty versions, according to Mac Nab.
The Hummer H1—the first Hummer model to be offered for sale to consumers starting in the early 1990s when Schwarzenegger, Customer No. 1, got his—is made on the same assembly line as the Humvees. Total combined production is about 25 vehicles a day at the plant, which is in Mishawaka, adjacent to South Bend.
To the casual observer, the military-styled H1 might seem to be nearly identical to what soldiers drive in war zones. It is, to a surprising extent.
Certainly, the boxy outer styling—complete with vertical windshield and protruding tow hooks on the hood where a helicopter can hook onto a vehicle to lift it—are the same. All have bodies made of aircraft-quality aluminum with rivets that creak and groan as the vehicle traverses rough terrain. All use the same heavy-duty, box steel frame with five crossmembers, the same shock absorbers, springs and control arms.
The H1 interior, which had a major update for the 2004 model year, is downright plush compared with the austere interior of a Humvee. There's no commercial-station FM radio in the Humvee, no leather seats, no carpeting, no power windows or door locks, no cupholders, like the H1 has. Since soldiers don't want to be left stranded by lost keys in a combat zone, there's no key ignition on the Humvee. There's a switch that turns on the vehicle. The Humvee doesn't have a dome light, either.
To power military equipment, the military Humvee has a more robust electrical system—24 volts—than its commercial cousin, the Hummer. And the Humvee's body is coated with Chemical Agent Resistant Coating (CARC) paint that doesn't absorb harmful substances like nerve gas. Hummers get a lustrous coat of commercial auto paint.
Many military Humvee models don't have doors or roofs, and their passenger compartments have drain holes to allow water to drip out. In contrast, Hummers have waterproof interiors, according to AM General officials. Hummers are powered by a noisy 6.5-liter turbodiesel V8 that's readily heard inside the vehicle, while soldiers' Humvees use a naturally aspirated diesel, which also is noisy and likely to be heard more, because Humvees have negligible sound insulation.
There are similarities, too. The steering wheel inside both vehicles is unexpectedly small, because soldiers wearing ammunition belts need to be able to fit comfortably behind it. The dashboard doesn't protrude much into the vehicle, either. There's a huge hump that rises from the floor that separates passengers on each side of the vehicle. It's the drivetrain, tucked up unusually high so its mechanicals aren't scraped and damaged in an off-road maneuver.
Both vehicles have an exceptional amount of U.S. content. Indeed, the H1's 97 percent U.S. content is likely the highest of any vehicle an American consumer can buy today.
Going Off-Road
Despite the obvious compromises of the H1—an interior whose outboard-mounted seats seem almost an afterthought, a blockish body that has to push its way through the air rather than slip through it and fuel economy that's pathetic—it is a uniquely accomplished off-road traveler.
At AM General's off-road facility in Mishawaka, where soldiers and consumers alike can enroll to be taught how to drive their respective Humvees and Hummers in rugged terrain, the four-wheel-drive H1 shows a flair for difficult situations.
A 22-inch-tall concrete ledge to climb? No problem. Just nudge one of the whopping 37-inch front wheels toward the concrete barrier, press gently on the gas pedal, and let the H1's 440 lb-ft of torque power the vehicle atop the barrier. Inside, at the wheel, I felt like the H1 was "willing" itself up and onto the concrete ledge. The rest of the H1 followed, with the engine grinding away in a burly manner. Because of extremely short overhangs front and rear, the H1's body didn't bang into the concrete, either.
Turning the H1 around is shockingly simple, thanks to a 26.5-foot turning circle. Cranking the little steering wheel, I felt like I was doing a "donut" in a compact car. In comparison, a Ford Explorer and even the nimble Jeep Wrangler have turning circles of more than 36 feet.
The H1's low center of gravity and extremely wide track—nearly 72 inches vs. 59.5 inches for a Jeep Grand Cherokee—means it hugs side slopes tenaciously. Its capabilities are so impressive, even a novice off-roader is likely to feel snug as a bug inside, even when climbing up a treacherous incline.
"We're not about speed and rushing over obstacles," said Tim Bonadies, manager of technical training who oversees the 320-acre test facilities for AM General. "We're about torque . . . and getting the most out of the vehicle."
He added that Hummer provides a free, first-year membership to the national Tread Lightly organization that seeks to balance off-road use with environmental responsibility.
At the Hummer test facility, I took an H1 through the "moguls"—a series of rounded humps with deep wheel ruts alternating between them. At one point, one wheel would be straight up in the air and the vehicle would be sitting off-kilter, but the H1 always stuck doggedly to its duty and ground its way through the terrain without getting stuck.
I wasn't so lucky in the woods. A cold rain, combined with little sunlight among the trees, had made the dark soil mucky and slippery. Water had gathered, deep enough to reach the door ledges of the H1. Try as I might to navigate a mud hole—with mud flying and tires spinning—I couldn't bust out and remained mired in one spot. Another H1 finally winched my vehicle out. Yes, even a Hummer can get stuck in poor conditions. Next time, I thought, I'd pick another path and miss this mud hole altogether.
"DNA of the Brand"
The four-passenger H1 was the first commercial Hummer. Starting manufacturer's suggested retail price is just over $105,000.
In July 2002 the H1 was followed by a lower-priced model, the H2, which has underpinnings based on General Motors Corp.'s full-size SUVs. With a starting MSRP of just over $50,000, the five-passenger H2 quickly became a hit. For the 2005 model year, Hummer added the H2 SUT sport-utility truck, which incorporates a pickup-like bed at the back of the vehicle.
The latest addition to the Hummer lineup, the 2006 H3, is slated to arrive in showrooms in spring 2005. A midsize SUV that follows in its predecessors' footsteps (or tire tracks), the H3 boasts Hummer style and off-road ability in a more fuel-efficient package.
Still, Mike DiGiovanni, Hummer general manager, calls the H1 "the DNA of the Hummer brand."
"The H1 will remain . . . Hummer doesn't work without the H1," he added.

Namma Krishna (Our Lord Krishna by RANJIT - Hindi + Kannada lyrics) - Original Composition of ANIRUDH. *******RE-UPLOADED with NEW STUDIO MIX********
Lyrics & Chords
After the morning meditation felt that Lord Krishna was speaking something to me, now what he said is in my soul. Important thing is I thought about dedicating a song to Lord Krishna with a sort of Trance music.
I approached Anirudh and told him to compose a Trance music which was meant for an English song or may be a spiritual song.
Finally with Lord Krishna's will some MIRACLE was due I knew.
Anirudh said that he was not able to get into the mood so I told him that I will pray to the Lord and he will connect you to the appropriate music needed.
In 15 mins he was ready with the 1st set. Then I told him that now add some more layers so that there is a confluence of many things and one needs to experience a celestial journey through this song to experience God in ONENESS.
2nd set absolutely spot on and one of Anirudh's best till date I believe.
Now I prayed to Lord Krishna saying I am not a trained singer, do something and help me in this and get me some raaga'a and nuances every place which will heal the souls and transcend them to the realms of Heaven.
Anirudh sent a vocal track but Lord Krishna had some other plans.
1st take I did it with my vocals guided by the Lord's universal vocal track himself and when I listen to it myself I said Oh Lord you are so merciful. Then I sent this to Sree-harshan bro for a quick check to see if he experienced the Lord too.
Hope you all experience the Almighty Lord Shri Krishna through this song and are delivered forever thereon.
Anirudh you surely will be shocked to see something different here.
Composition: Anirudh
Vocalist: Ranjit
Harmonies: Ranjit
Lyrics: Lord Krishna & Ranjit
Mixing: Anirudh + Ranjit
I DEDICATE it to LORD KRISHNA & My Guru's.
Anirudh dedicated it to his Guru Kaskade.
Anirudh in this case this Servitor of God got the best out of you by reminding you of Lord Krishna and Kaskade. Make way for the servitor….God Bless You….

Ranjit & Anirudh my brother……. Very nicely done.
Divinity echoed with the Western touch,soothing to listen. Your voice blended well with the music. As such you have a good voice. Feel you could have sung it a bit louder so that we could hear the lyrics well, or the sound of the Guitar should be a bit subdued, felt it that way. JMHO.
Exhibiting the bolder tone will make it sound more divine for these type of melodies. Good composition and beautiful music and soulful singing. Loved it a lot. Surely you do deserve 5 and for my fav;…4.10 till end was very nice to hear.
Thanks a lot for sharing.
MUSIC is the language of the soul!
Kumar Srinivasan said
Very interesting composition. Sounded like a fusion concept along the lines of Colonial Cousins. Good creative work Anirudh and Ranjit. Anirudh, the arrangement was very impressive. Ranjit, you have sung it with a lot of involvement and feel. Some off notes when singing Krishna at 2:00 and a few other spots.

Ranjit and Anirudh,
Great work by both its very good…
Murali Venkatraman said
Certainly a trancy feel was there. In some of the portions the notes that you were singing were totally away from the chords that were used and that gave a feeling of two unmatched tracks mixed. Also, the krishna nee begane in some portions were off. Overall, the effort is fine, but you can refine. Best wishes.

Ranjit, I really admire your effort in this rendition; save the off notes, this was really divine!!!!

Your ultimate surrender to the Lord is a state that I am trying to attain everyday….
Your devotion comes out so unpretentiously in this piece. I only wish your voice were a little stronger and bolder. The occasional offnotes I believe can be avoided with some conscious effort.
You are surely going places with your composing skills! Expecting to see more of you here in Muziboo! :)

Apologies for being lil late here….loved it , great work by Anirudh and you….
5/5 for sure and goes to my favourites too
George Kuruvilla said
Not quite what I expected when I saw the title. But I can the see the Kaskade influence here (not specifically him, but that style of music). I think it was quite good. Ranjit, you sounded really nice. However there were some timing issues. You need to stick to the beat. Also I felt it was a little repetitive. You could potentially have done something to break the monotony. Overall, a good effort guys!

Fun with CodeIgniter
I just spent many hours wrestling with CodeIgniter. For one thing, it seems to go out of its way to hide PHP errors from you, even in development mode, and even when you try to turn everything back on manually with directives in your index.php.
This doesn't help when you are trying to integrate AJAX file uploads, and can't figure out why all you ever get is a '500 Server Error', with no indication of where that error is occurring.
For the record, my problem was that I needed to use CI's
form_open_multipart() function, in order to get the hidden CSFR protection token. Without it, the Security class was just silently dying before ever getting to my controller's action handler.

"Princess Jellyfish looks like such a terrible anime…"
"…it just appears to be an anime that doesnt add anything to the genre…"
"…and worst has no compelling character designs…"
Oh, Tristan. The poster child of judging books by their covers.
Juvenile plot.
Okay, I'm done here. Before this gets blown out of proportion… again.
By definition, you can strongly argue that all shounen titles are juvenile.
Who can strongly argue that? Naruto has many deep philosophical theories in it that keep it all from being juvenile. War and peace in the ninja world for one. I can say the same for Fairy Tail too.
I guess you didn't read the "By definition" part.
Anyway, I won't claim that Naruto or Fairy Tail are juvenile or have juvenile plots because I haven't read or watched much of them. It wouldn't be fair of me to make assumptions or jump to conclusions like some people do out there. Right, Tristan?
And Princess Jellyfish has no deeper meaning. Self-identity has nothing to do with life. Nope.
But kids fighting one another is considered okay. Yeah, I see where the world is going now. Thanks for the reminder.
Pretty sure that was sarcasm… Lemme read what was said there before you again… yep, sarcasm.
Well Naruto is up there and so is Guilty Crown, but yes, I highly suggest you give Naruto a bit more credit for what it...
Tristan, the only reason I'm getting on your case is because your comments about Princess Jellyfish are all shallow...
Hey, good for you. Naruto is the best of all time; maybe only second best to Guilty Crown. I'm missing out on a lot: an...
come again?
Yes, please enlighten me!
I whole-heartedly disagree with this comment.

There is something just so irresistible about itty bitty babies that makes me want to kiss 'em. You know what I'm talking about, don't you? They're just so delicious, you want to get your mouth on them. But what would you do if a grown man was smooching on your little pumpkin as if she were his own kid? What if your baby's pediatrician couldn't stop kissing her?
Getting a little freaked out? So was the CafeMom who confessed she was "shocked" when she took her 11-day-old daughter into the doctor's office and watched her pediatrician plant one on her baby girl's forehead and the back of her head.
The mom, who chose to remain anonymous, says she didn't think the kissy-faced doc was a "pervert," but she was certainly put off. And I can't blame her.
Kissing someone else's baby is creepy ... unless you have Mom and Dad's permission or you're super close to that kiddo.
When my daughter was a baby, I hated, hated, hated when people tried to kiss her. Like this mom, I rarely thought "pervert," but I did worry about germs. And I was just plain confused when someone I didn't know very well thought my baby was kissable. It seemed rather ... intimate a gesture for a child who wasn't part of the family or at least the child of a close friend.
To put it bluntly, I was squicked out. Especially by the weirdos in the supermarket who would coo over her, then lean in and give her a smack on the forehead ... as if it was completely natural to kiss a child they didn't know from Adam.
I've thought about it long and hard since then, and I think the problem we run into is that babies make people happy. They smile, and the whole world lights up. There's something about them that makes us want to be close to them, to get a little of that happy about the world juju. And OK, maybe to drink in that sweet baby smell.
But people tend to forget that babies are human beings! They deserve their own personal space too! People, even pediatricians, need to realize that what would be inappropriate with a toddler doesn't suddenly become "OK" just because a baby can't say "no."
So yeah, I can kiss babies with the best of the politicians, but I restrain myself. Now if only the old ladies would too ... and the creepy pediatricians.
How would you feel about a pediatrician kissing your baby? What about a stranger in the grocery store? Where do you draw the line?

Ridiculous !!!!
I agree, I don't automatically think "pervert" but it would still put me off/I would try to stop it if ANY stranger or casual/business acquaintance kissed my baby.Yes,babies are cute and make people happy but that doesn't mean that everyone has a free pass to kiss every baby they see. At least in this case is what only on the head, though once I think, should've been enough. I also agree with rhps2000 that it also bothers me when people grab the baby's hands...I really wish people would consider that even though they are ok with something, others have boundaries that they prefer to be respected and I don't think that's too much to ask.,especially on kissing a total stranger's baby without at least asking first.That's just common courtesy in my opinion...
I was squeamish when people other than family kissed on my Twinz...my daughter's cheek had a rash the same size and place as the lipstick I kept wiping off her cheek. I remained polite because I knew there were no ill intentions coming from my MIL's friends--they just thought she was cute. :) When I see cute babies, I coo at them or talk normal voice and tweek their feet.

riders are the most stylish of all dirt bike racers – or at least they should be! Ask any racer out there, even the ones who look the most natural and fluid on the track, and I bet most of them would say the coolest thing to do is a whip. Everyone can put their own personal touch on a whip, but before you can customize, you've got to have the basic skills down. We had the joy of watching former 125 SX champion and regular MotoUSA professional test rider, Damon Huffman, effortlessly toss the rear end of a Yamaha during a photo shoot at the
2011 Yamaha YZ450F First Ride
. He threw them off of a step-up with a seat bounce, standing up and one-legged, so we asked him to break it down for us - nice and simple - so our unstylish little journalist brains can understand.
If you're a cool cat who's got it figured out, just enjoy the pretty pictures. If not, take some notes from this old pro during his day at
Racetown 395
. You can get personal tutoring from Huff Daddy with during one of his motocross lessons. Check out his website,
, for more information.
Step 1 - Setup
How to whip...
Step 1 -
This particular jump is right out of a corner, so making a clean turn is important. When exiting the corner you need to start looking ahead. You want to see the face of the jump and make sure you're hitting a clean line. This is only the first step, so it's important to come out of the corner smooth and in control.
Step 2 - Lean in
Step 2 -
Now I'm on the face of the jump. This particular jump is a step-up that kind of turns a bit. I have selected a clean line away from ruts, and I'm beginning to lean with the bike on the takeoff. You can see that I'm on the balls of my feet and my weight is leaning forward. This is a good balanced position to ensure a nose-down landing which is essential. Leaning on the takeoff is where it all starts for a smooth rhythm to the whip.
Step 3 - Relax
Step 3 -
Once airborne, my weight continues to fall to the inside and my bike begins to float out. You want to let the rear of the bike come around a bit. This is a learned sensation that takes time to get comfortable with, so start out slowly and build up to this.
Step 4 - Countersteer
Step 4 -
Here I'm pretty much at the apex of the jump. I'm nice and level, but soon my front end will be dropping. I have the bars turned out a little, steering into the whip. The rear of the bike is still coming around and I'm spotting my landing already.
Step 5 - Spot landing
Step 5 -
I am coming down nose-first with the bars a little straighter now. I have clearly spotted my landing and the bike is beginning to straighten up. The size and the takeoff of the jump, really dictate how much you can whip it on a particular jump. Here I did just a smooth, flowing whip. This is what you should work on first in learning how to whip.
Step 6 - Touch down
Step 6 -
My front end has touched down, although the rear is still kicked out a bit, I have the bars turned in the direction that I'm traveling. This is very important to ensure a smooth roll out on your landing. I have both feet planted on the pegs and my knees are in to help support the landing. I'm also touching down at the top of the jump just on the down side. It is crucial, when whipping to clear the jump perfectly.
Step 7 - Roll out
Step 7 -
I have made a clean whip with a smooth landing. I'm now traveling perfectly straight, am in total control and able to sit down, relax and ride it out. The landing is important, so again, start out slow and build up to a full whip. Start by finding a jump that you're comfortable with and start to experiment by leaning off the face a little. This will be the start of whipping it for you.

...cross-ups were the big thing. Everyone was trying to get their bike flat like Roger DeCoster, with that front wheel pointed up at the sky!
SG -Need More Info...
November 30, 2010 11:22 AM
So, as your front wheel begins to drop, does the bike naturally begin right itself AND does the rear wheel come back into alignment with your direction of travel? Or, does the rider have to add some "body english" to get the bike back upright with wheels aligned (at least more so) for the landing?

Today we're going to look at some 5 Star Utilities, and come up with a winning investment.

27 Companies that Raised Divideds over the Past 2 Weeks

I have narrowed my focus to a subset of companies that is termed "Dividend Growth," which analyzes companies not only for their excellent dividend-paying histories, but also for the potential for those dividends to grow substantially in the future.
To this end, I look at a company's dividend paying – and raising – history, its 5-year average more »

Once considered stodgy and old-fashioned, dividend-paying stocks are the favorites of the day.

Written by Bang Yongguk, Kang Jiwon, and Kim Kibum, "Power" describes anger and resentment towards society's elite. "Power" is a rock track with B.A.P's signature rapping style and vocals. True to the lyrical message of the song, B.A.P delivered a striking performance of "Power" with strong vocals and rap verses, along with their aggressive choreography.

A person like Meera is living in such love that any inner sources of poison have ceased to exist long ago. Her blood is totally influenced by love, it is full of love; so poison will not be able to enter, it will be thrown out of her body. But Meera is not even aware of all this. If she did know it, then poison would enter her body. Meera does not know that she is being given poison, that she is drinking poison. She is so immersed in her love that she is simply not aware of what is happening to her at the bodily level; she has no knowledge of it.
Try to understand it this way. Supposing a rat bites you and you think that a snake has bitten you; in a case like this, symptoms of a snake's poison will manifest even though the rat was not poisonous. You can even die. Delusion is enough to kill you.
You will be surprised to know that those people who have studied snakes say that only three percent of snakes are actually poisonous. That is, out of a hundred different species, only three have poison sacs and ninety-seven have none. But the miracle is that a person can still die from the bite of a non-poisonous snake.
That is why snake charmers are so successful. The snake that has bitten a person is not poisonous, but the person's imagination makes it poisonous. That is why the snake charmers' charms work. These charms can cure you of your imagination. The snake that bit you was not poisonous, but the feeling that a snake has bitten you acts like a poison. You can even die - because if you are in such a state, the poison glands inside you will release poison. This emotional state can be cured by charms - that's why the snake's bite can be neutralized.
And just the opposite also happens. Even if a poisonous snake bites you, if the snake charmer is able to reassure you that the effects of the bite have been warded off by his charms, this assurance can act as a barrier inside you between you and the poison. It can prevent the poison from entering your bloodstream.
You are simply not aware of how much power your mind exercises over your body. The people who have conducted research on hypnosis have obtained miraculous results. They say that if you are put into a hypnotic trance, put to sleep, and an ordinary piece of stone is placed in your hand but you are told that is a burning ember, you will immediately scream and throw the stone away. And I can also confirm this from my own personal experiments, because I have done a lot of work on hypnosis. You will cry out in pain, as if it really were an ember - even though it is an ordinary cold stone. It is understandable that since you were unconscious you believed what I told you, but that your hand should also have a blister - and that blister will be exactly the same as if an ember had really been held in your hand. That blister will last long after you have regained consciousness, it will last just as long as if the mark had been made by a real ember.
And just the opposite also happens. If you are put in a trance and a real ember is placed on your hand but you are told that it is only a cold pebble, then you will not shriek or throw the pebble away, and it will not leave a blister on your hand. Now all the scientists are unanimous in saying that your body simply follows what is going on in your mind.

Weekend Giveaway – Enjoy Lighting Flameless Candlesposted by Andrea | 05/14/2011
This giveaway is now closed. Congrats to Wendy {wendypchef@…} — out of 86 entries {via blog comments and FB comments} she was chosen at random via the "And The Winner Is" WordPress Plugin. I will contact you shortly with the information I need to get you your candles!
I absolutely LOVE decorating with candles, and even though I'm not doing much decorating these days, I'm already getting excited for when all our home renovations are complete and I can get out my bins of candles and decorations once again. However, the one thing I don't love about candles is the open flame. We're definitely careful, but there's always that possibility of something catching on fire, spilling wax, or forgetting to blow them out at night. I've heard horror stories — and I don't ever want our beautiful farmhouse to be a casualty of a simple candle.
So when I was contacted by Enjoy Lighting and asked to try out their battery powered {and absolutely gorgeous} candles, I couldn't wait!! These candles LOOK and FEEL exactly like real wax candles, and they come in a huge variety of sizes, colors, and scents. The only difference is that they are battery powered and don't have a dangerous flame. Every candle has an on/off switch on the bottom as well as a timer option that will automatically shut off after 4, 6, or 8 hours — just in case you forget!
Oh, and guess what… one lucky Simple Organized Living reader is going to win a set of 3 gorgeous Enjoy Lighting flameless candles!
The giveaway includes:
- ONE 4″ toasted coconut pillar
- ONE 4″ mandarin spice pillar
- ONE 6″ mandarin spice pillar
And yes, they do smell as good as they sound!
Want to Win?
There are two ways to win…
1. Leave a comment telling me your favorite way to decorate with candles. {Mandatory}
2. Subscribe to Simple Organized Living via RSS Reader or via email and let me know you do.
This contest is open until Wednesday, May 18 2011, at 10:00 pm EST. ONE winner will be selected at random and announced on Thursday, May 19. Please read my full disclosure policy and contact me with any questions you might have. I received Enjoy Lighting products for review, however all opinions are my own!
Want to Purchase Your Own Candles?
Enjoy Lighting products are sold at these retails locations.

I used to have candles out, mainly my dining room table, but life with a 10 month old just doesn't permit. These battery candles would be great!
I subscribe via email.
I use candles everywhere, but I especially love to have them in my bathroom and on the kitchen table. Thanks for the giveaway!
I am a subscriber to your RSS feed on my google reader.:)
Thanks so much for this great give-away! I love to decorate with candles but have a fear of the open flame too. I have cats … and although, they are not supposed to get up on the surfaces where I would set candles, you can never be sure what they will get-up-to or knock over when you are not in the room. I usually stick to only lighting the ones I set in my fireplace hearth or have in a tall, heavy glass. The battery powered candles would be great. I looked at them years ago but they didn't look as real as these do… and they didn't have an auto shut off. Thanks again for the chance to enter.
I love your blog and have subscribed in my Google reader.

I think my "favorite way" would best be described as… "just put them everywhere." Seriously I have way too many candles in this 700 sq ft space!

I had more dreams last night. Strange dreams in which everyone called me "heavy." I didn't even think it odd, really. Until I woke up and realized that I just spent roughy six hours telling myself I'm fat in my sleep. I'm sure a therapist would go to town on this realization. Although, it's not a huge surprise. I *am* PMSing and, let's be honest, my belly isn't the only thing still large one year Post Partum. And, seeing as how I spent most of yesterday obsessing about my adult-zit ridden face and wardrobe, really, I gotta chalk this one up to... Read more
This morning, very early in the single digits of the day, I woke up to pee. No biggie. Except that when I got up, I was so dizzy I couldn't walk. I thought it would go away shortly. I thought I'd be ok after a few minutes. Only I wasn't. It lasted an hour. Yes, I was up for an hour at 2am. When I did finally go back to sleep, I had horrible dreams. I woke up convinced I had some terrible disease. I said to myself, "LB will never remember her mom." I actually thought this, people. Don't run away screaming freak just yet. There's... Read more

I remember thinking I new what tired was. I remember complaining about being tired in high school. I'm a chick that loves her nine hours of sleep and boy-oh-boy what I cranky when I didn't get it.
Then I had a baby. People would tell me when I was pregnant, "Sleep now, 'cause you never will again." Or they'd make comments like, "Oh, ya, you think it's hard to sleep when you're pregnant, try feeding the baby every three hours." I thought they were rude. It was lost on me.

Billing hikers: The future of search and rescue?
Rep. Chandler, R-Bartlett, has introduced a bill (House Bill 256) that would charge, on a sliding scale, everyone who has to be rescued by the state if lost in the woods, capsized on a lake, etc. Currently, the state charges only those who are found to be negligent, and for the most part they do not pay.
It is not Chandler's proposal to charge for all rescues that has the most merit. There are some good reasons why the state might not want to do precisely that. Rather, the strength of Chandler's bill is that it begins moving the state away from its long-standing practice of funding searches and rescues with fees on people who make up fewer than half of all rescues: hunters, fishermen, boaters, snowmobilers and ATV riders.
The existing funding structure is a matter of convenience. It is easy to charge people to register vehicles or obtain licenses. There is no easy way to charge people for hiking or walking in the woods. The state cannot put a toll booth at every trail head. It cannot very well make hikers obtain licenses to use public lands, either. But hikers account for more than half of searches and rescues. What is the state to do?
We could simply pay for them with general taxation. Or we could dedicate a portion of the rooms and meals tax, as Susan Arnold, vice president for conservation of the Appalachian Mountain Club, has suggested. But both of those go against the old-fashioned New Hamsphire tradition that the user should pay, to the greatest extent possible, for specialized services.
Chandler would combine his minimum rescue fee ($350-$1,000) with a "hike safe card" available to hikers. Buy the $18 card, and if you have to be rescued, it's covered. That is a creative idea well worth considering. It would give hikers peace of mind while also encouraging them to think more seriously about trip preparation.
HB 256 will not provide full funding for searches and rescues, and more deliberation is needed about the pros and cons of the plan. But Chandler has moved the conversation in a new and promising direction, and legislators need to give this proposal serious consideration.

Former Raiders quarterback Rich Gannon doesn't agree with Tim Brown's statements that former head coach Bill Callahan sabotaged the Super Bowl 10 years ago.

The Patterson Tigers boys swim team went neck-to-neck with the Ceres Bulldogs for a great deal of the match with the Tigers' up one, down one, the entire meet. It wasn't until the last relay, the 400-Free Relay race, where Patterson lost the lead for good, allowing Ceres to pull in first and third while Patterson secured a second-place win.
In the resulting match, the Bulldogs took and kept the lead for the 88-81 defeat. Some highlights for the boys' team include the 200-Medley Relay team coming in first place, which comprised of Matthew Schaa, Justin Mora, Aaron Gonzales and Steven Halseth. Devin Jessup finished his 200-yard Free event in 2:17 to finish in first-place, while teammate Christian Vasquez came in right behind him to claim second.
Justin Mora also dropped an entire second in this 200-IM, finishing at 2:29, with Halseth coming in second. Gonzales finishing with another strong time in the 50-Free with a time of :23.11.
Schaa also showed strength and stamina with his 500-Free time, which is continuously getting lower, said PHS swim coach Amy Castillo Barron. Schaa finished at 5:52 against the Bulldogs and at 1:10 in his 100-yard backstroke.
Lastly for the boys' side, Gonzales finished first in the 100-yard breast stroke for the Tigers.
Coach Barron said she was very pleased about the effort put forth by her boys this season.
"The returning swimmers have challenged each other to push themselves at practice," said Castillo. "Even though it can be tough staying on task daily, the boys work hard overall, and it shows in our meets."
On the girls' side, the Tigers competed against a very tough opponent.
"Ceres High has strong girl swimmers, and it was apparent for the Tigers when we finished 112-65," said Barron. But Barron was still proud of her squad and lauded their efforts in the pool.
Some positive notations came from the 200-Medley Relay Team (consisting of Jenevy Esqueda, Brissa Nunez, Alejandra Munoz and Kiara Job), which finished in second-place.
Munoz also finished second in her 200-IM with a time of 3:04.
Job brought home first in the 50-Free at :30 flat and second in the 100-Free with a strong 1:09.12 finish. Stephanie Esqueda came in third in the 10- free, just milliseconds after Job.
The 200-Free Relay team, consisting of both Esqueda girls, Nicolette Vargas and Job, finished second. Jenevy brought in another second place finish with her 100-back stroke at 1:29.
And lastly, the 400-Free Relay team brought in a second place finish made up of Victoria Rodgers, Evelyn Silvas, Stephanie Esqueda and Michaela Homen.
Despite the loss, Barron was proud of her swimmers and believed their strengths will be utilized fully in the near future.
"We have swimmers pushing themselves more this year," she said. "I am seeing big strides from some of these girls!"
Overall, Coach Barron is hopeful to just continue to improve and build a strong team.
"I have a very knowledgeable and amazing group of assistant coaches, and we continue to push our swimmers to their limits daily!"
The Tigers' will face Central Valley High School and Central Catholic High School in a Tri-Meet Friday, April 4, at the Community Pool in Patterson.

The largest attack campaign against Democrats this fall is being waged by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, a trade association organized as a 501(c)(6) that can raise and spend unlimited funds without ever disclosing any of its donors. The Chamber has promised to spend an unprecedented $75 million to defeat candidates like Jack Conway, Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA), Jerry Brown, Rep. Joe Sestak (D-PA), and Rep. Tom Perriello (D-VA). As of Sept. 15th, the Chamber had aired more than 8,000 ads on behalf of GOP Senate candidates alone, according to a study from the Wesleyan Media Project. The Chamber's spending has dwarfed every other issue group and most political party candidate committee spending. A ThinkProgress investigation has found that the Chamber funds its political attack campaign out of its general account, which solicits foreign funding. And while the Chamber will likely assert it has internal controls, foreign money is fungible, permitting the Chamber to run its unprecedented attack campaign. According to legal experts consulted by ThinkProgress, the Chamber is likely skirting longstanding campaign finance law that bans the involvement of foreign corporations in American elections.
In recent years, the Chamber has become very aggressive with its fundraising, opening offices abroad and helping to found foreign chapters (known as Business Councils or "AmChams"). While many of these foreign operations include American businesses with interests overseas, the Chamber has also spearheaded an effort to raise money from foreign corporations, including ones controlled by foreign governments. These foreign members of the Chamber send money either directly to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, or the foreign members fund their local Chamber, which in turn, transfers dues payments back to the Chamber's H Street office in Washington DC. These funds are commingled to the Chamber's 501(c)(6) account which is the vehicle for the attack ads:
– The U.S. Chamber of Commerce has created a large presence in the small, oil-rich country of Bahrain. In 2006, the Chamber created a local affiliate called the "U.S.-Bahrain Business Council" (USBBC), an organization to help businesses in Bahrain take advantage of the Chamber's "network of government and business relationships in the US and worldwide." As the USBBC's bylaws state, it is not an actual separate entity, rather it is simply an office of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce's 501(c)(6) trade association. Many of the USBBC's board members are Bahrainian, including Aluminum Bahrain, Gulf Air, Midal Cables, the Nass Group, Bahrain Maritime & Mercantile International, the Bahrain Petroleum Company (state-owned), Gulf Petrochemical Industries Company, and First Leasing Bank. With each of these foreign board members to the USBBC contributing at least $10,000 annually, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce raises well over $100,000 a year in money from foreign businesses through its operation in Bahrain. Notably, the membership form provided by the USBBC directs applicants to send or wire their money directly to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. The membership form also explicitly states that the foreign-owned firms are welcomed.
– Like the Chamber's involvement in Bahrain, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce operates in India through a group called "U.S.-India Business Council" (USIBC), which has offices around the world but is headquartered in the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Dozens of Indian businesses, including some of India's largest corporations like the State Bank of India (state-run) and ICICI Bank, are members of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce through the USIBC. Annual membership dues range from $7,500 to $15,000 or more, and the money is given directly into the Chamber's 501(c)(6) bank account. Like the USBBC, the USIBC generates well over $200,000 a year in dues for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce from foreign businesses. On the USIBC website, many of the groups lobbying goals advocate changing American policy to help businesses in India. Under the manufacturing policy goal, USIBC boasts that it "can play a helpful role in guiding U.S. companies to India, while supporting various policy initiatives that will enhance India's reputation as a major manufacturing and investment hub."
– Many foreign "AmChams" or Business Councils operate outside the direct sphere of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce but nonetheless send dues money back to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. For instance, the American Chamber of Commerce in Egypt is a separate entity based in Cairo that raises hundreds of thousands of dollars from both Egyptian firms and American businesses. However, the American Chamber of Commerce in Egypt calls itself "the most active affiliates of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in the" Middle East. Another foreign chamber, like the Abu Dhabi AmCham, which includes American firms and Esnaad, a subsidiary of the state-run Abu Dhabi National Oil Company, claims that it is a a "dues paying member of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and part of the global network of American Chambers of Commerce." In Russia, the relationship between the American Chamber of Commerce there and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce here is opaque. This might be because many of the dues-paying members of the American Chamber of Commerce in Russia are Russian state-run companies, like VTB Bank, and controlled by the Russian government. Asked by ThinkProgress if the Russian Chambers pay dues back to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Ksenia Forsheneva, the membership development manager at the American Chamber of Commerce in Russia, replied, "Unfortunately the information that you require is closed for the public."

Genealogy in 2111
The sources to which you can turn for genealogical information vary depending on the location and time period you are researching. For instance, if you are looking for your 18th-century relatives in the old country, you will certainly turn to parish records as a critical source of information – you won't be able to count on finding a whole lot of civil records. In 19th-Century America, census records are important, but church and civil records are spotty. Within the 19th and 20th Centuries, church records become less and less comprehensive as a record of the lives of the population, since a smaller percentage of people remained regular church-goers. Fortunately, civil records increasingly become a reliable, comprehensive source of information as these church records decline, helping to fill the gap.
What sources will our descendants use when they look for us in the 21st Century? Many of the records we traditionally think of as being genealogically significant will still be important, but some more interesting sources of information are being created as we speak – and they may come in handy should any set of records we now have become unavailable due to privacy laws or destruction.
One of the first things that comes to mind is social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter. If their databases are still around in a hundred years, what a treasure trove that will be! It's true, we are presently concerned (and rightly so) with the amount of privacy we give up online. However, wouldn't you give your right arm to see what your great-great-grandfather's Facebook profile would have looked like? You could have learned about where he worked, who his friends and relatives were, what his relationships were like with them (from what they posted on each others' "walls"), seen dozens or maybe even hundreds of pictures of him with his friends and family, or maybe even which character he most resembled from the Harry Potter books…or at least from Shakespeare's plays.
How about YouTube? Can you think of any YouTube videos you appear in, for better or worse? Make sure they know your username so they will be able to find their great-great-grandparent's videos they uploaded.
Think about your local TV news. Indexes have been made for generations of names of people who appeared in newspapers. Why not index every edition of the evening news? Especially as the number of print newspapers declines, we should consider "indexing" the treasure trove of news programs, which feature people from all walks of life for all kinds of different reasons, just as newspapers have done.
We leave important traces of ourselves on various message boards and comment sections of websites, too. However, a username is often the only identification of the author. Consider making your usernames known to your posterity so they can search for you on the internet and find what you had to say – especially at a genealogy website such as Ancestry.com.
While few of us will be around to enjoy these fantastic sources in 2111, I hope we'll consider maintaining and preparing them for future genealogists to utilize. That way, they won't have to depend so much on the Census of 2040 coming out in 2112.

New Details From Choppers' Dip in Lake Tahoe NBC B
- Remanuelli
- uploaded: Sep 27, 2010
- Hits: 138
It's a 20-second, jaw-dropping clip of cell phone video that could ultimately cost two Navy helicopter pilots their flying privileges. It happened two weeks ago at Lake Tahoe and caught sightseers by surprise as they looked over the lake.
"Oh my gosh," a gasping voice is heard saying on the video. Another person said, "they're totally practicing aren't they?"
An official at NAS North Island in San Diego confirmed the authenticity of the video that shows two $33 million MH-60 Romeo helicopters flying over Lake Tahoe on Sept. 13. One of the helicopters appears to come dangerously close to the water before the pilot is able to regain altitude.
US Navy officials from the Pentagon told NBC News this was not a training mission, but that the two helicopter crews were allegedly attempting to take photos of each other's helicopters hovering just above the waters of Lake Tahoe with the mountains as a majestic backdrop when their photo op went horribly wrong.
Navy officials say the pilots had attempted to go into a routine "hover" but because of the altitude of Lake Tahoe and the weight of the aircraft, the chopper descended and partially submerged before both pilots increased power, pulled the choppers out of the water and averted a disaster.
The helicopters are from North Island's Helicopter Maritime Strike 41 squadron.
"An aviation mishap board has been convened," according to a North Island spokesman.
The spokesperson says the helicopters sustained 'minor damage' and the incident has been classified as a 'Class C' mishap, meaning damage is more than $50,000 but less than $500,000.
The helicopters had taken part in an air show in Sacramento and were heading toward Lemoor Naval Air Station to refuel, according to the spokesperson.
After the incident, the helicopters were taken to the Lake Tahoe Airport for repair. The pilots were flown back to San Diego on a commercial flight. They have both been temporarily grounded pending an investigation.
Lake Tahoe is not a normal training area for the helicopters. The investigation will determine whether the flight over the lake was consistent with the normal flight pattern and flight plan provided by the pilots.
The names of the pilots have not been released. The spokesperson would also not say how long the pilots have been with the Navy.
It's not known how many people were on board the helicopters at the time of the incident. Normally, there are two pilots and one air crewman on board.

Originally I'd seen a video claiming that it was alien technology that allowed the Blackhawk Helicopter to go into the water. Now after watching this video, the close up shows that it was pilot error.

I know this is really goofy, and way out in left field, but when the woman sez, "I didn't know they could do that!", it reminded me when I saw a bald eagle land on a lake to get some poor baby ducklings. Mama duck did not stop quacking and raising a fuss for a couple of hours. She didn't lose all her babies, thankfully. Another time I was watching mom and dad crow teaching baby crow about gittin' dinner. One of the adults and baby watched from a dock as the other adult flew around a bit, and right in front of the other two, it dropped right into the lake, and bounced right back out with a four or five inch fish in its mouth! (Don't know how mommy fish took it) Prior to seeing these two events I didn't realize non-waterfowl could land in water like that. Having worked at a zoo and handling parrots and macaws, I now know how light they are, and because of that, there is no chance of them sinking. They also have oil in their feathers that would keep them dry, for a while anyway. The only problem would be taking off from the water surface. Strong flyers like eagles and crows don't seem to have any problems, they take off straight up! I would have to think, that birds that have to run on the ground to take off would probably be in trouble if they ended in the water. If they were near shore they might get a chance to escape. There is no chance of them sinking, I learned, because birds are extremely light. Their bones aren't solid, they appear as they though the are mostly air bubbles. Poor description can't think of any apropos description. I live in Washington state. The bald eagles here are going to run up to a seven foot wingspan, body length 30 to 35 inches, and weight around ten pounds. End of my story, us old folks love to tell stories! Maybe someone will stumble across it and enjoy it. Peace! an old hippie
