Considering the Ferrari 458 Italia's huge racing capabilities, it shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone that the GT2 won't be the only racing version offered for the sports car. Extreme Speed Motorsport (ESM), a private racing team, has started testing a 458 GT that will compete in the 2011 American Le Mans Series starting on March 18, 2011.
In fact, EMS won't just be running one Ferrari 458 GT, in cooperation with Tequila Patrón, the team will enter two 458 GTs into the racing series. These images, released by Scott Sharp (one of the test drivers), are the first details to come out on the vehicles. Take a closer look at them and one may notice the new exhaust system, the huge rear wing, and the modified interior. This can easily be translated into better aerodynamics and, of course, better performance. Guess Audi and Porsche may be in a little trouble this year!

KALAMAZOO (WKZO) -- The Kalamazoo Christian School Association is making its final push to raise about 800 thousand dollars to finish constructing a new middle school.
Jeff Lectka is a parent who's been heading the fundraising effort, making appeals around the community. He says they've come a long way, having raised about 2.1 million dollars already.
But, he says K Christian just has a little bit more to go. The plan to add some new wings to existing facilities to make way for the middle schoolers. Anyone who wants to help can go to www.KCSA.org .

"Heyy" he said nicely, wobbling back and forth happily. "I sure as hell haven't seen ya around these parts either, who might you be?" he noticed the uncanny resemblance in their fashion sense, and raises his eyebrow, curious.
"I-I'm Luisa. I-I understand if you d-don't recognize me, most people don't…" She sighed. Let's not think about that right now. You're meeting someone new, that's suspose to be exciting. "And who m-might you be?"
"Ah, dont worry I get that a lot, Luisa. It sure aint easy, i can tell you. As for me, well im Luigi…" Oh boy, here we go again. "Well… not really, I come from a whole other dimension…."

It's kinda funny when the people you trust & think you know turn out to be the one person you know nothing about. They lie to you. They deceive you. I hate the people that always turn out to be fake.

Build-In Your Billys for an Inexpensive & Custom Look
Centsational Girl
Although built-in bookcases are cool, their price tag usually isn't. Have you ever thought about building your own? That's pretty costly and time consuming as well, but what if you half built your own and half bought your own? Well then check out this makeover and head to IKEA for the best of both worlds!
We stopped in over at Centsational Girl where Kate has been hard at work customizing these typical Billy bookcases. Instead of just resting them against the wall they received a plywood base, trim molding and a total built in look.
The price tag, including the 4 bookcases themselves (which are $69/each) was $365. The process involved reusing old trim and purchasing a bit of new, but I think most will agree that the look is well worth the price and the 7 hours of labor that it took to get things assembled and looking great. Check out all the details and the step by step process over at Centsational Girl.

Billy's rock!
That's great. I wanted to do something just like this. Thanks for posting.
I love her wall paint.
All I gotta say is WOW!
I love the Billys, fantastic job. But I NNEEEDD that window fabric. Been looking for a print like this for ages. Care to share the source, please?
Thanks Sarah, I appreciate the shout out! Now off to style them so they look fabulous!
I really like how she did this. I did the same thing with three Billy bookcases. They come with a flimsy cardboard back so I bought 1/8" Luon plywood & painted them dark navy blue. The effect is sensational.
Looks great!
We have a wall of 7 Billy bookcases & this treatment could make them look amazing! Love you AT (tho my husband isn't terrifically happy w/y'all...)!
Even better if you add the height extensions, which take you right to the ceiling (with just enough room for a beefy crown molding) for an even more built-in look. I just did the same thing in my living room. :D
Hello Mrs. Mouse, great idea! From what I could find, the Billy extensions don't come in the 15" depth yet, but if/when they do, I'm already thinking that extra height will look great!
Re: princessavi
The window panels are from Pier1 Imports!
Heres a link: http://www.pier1.com/Catalog/HomeTextiles/tabid/980/CategoryId/146/ProductId/32681/ProductName/Paisley-Print-Gardenia-Window-Panel/Default.aspx
There are more details if you go to the original post :)
Nice job! Amazing transition! Such a difference with one piece. Thanks for sharing!
Yeah, I'll get right on that.
Yeah, pretty much amazeballs.
I want to do the same thing with a short wall in our basement (for all of our book storage), but eh dimensions just aren't right. Two Billies is definitely not wide enough, two with one of the narrow ones is still not wide enough, but three is too much. No other cheap commercial bookcases have the right dimentions either. I'm leaning toward building my own down the line.
Great job!
Er, yes, the extensions DO come in 15" width, for I have one which I purchased earlier this year. I'm just mad my width (like the 24"+/-) was discontinued..... Pretty nice hack too.
Um, is the telly going back in there? Doesn't look like it will fit.
Lovely jobbie though! I'm a big fan of bespoke-on-a-budget.
PS Could you also post a shot of this when content is all back in? Cheers
We did this to the ugly dark brown billys that came with our house; added trim and painted them white...this was 9 years ago, before AT was around...hard to fathom a world before Apartment Therapy!
Excellent job! Great result!
It seems a bit overwhelming for the wall, but does look professionally done.
So much better. You could take them to the ceiling for an even more built-in look. Billy's rock! And, if you love a more contemporary vibe, check out some of the Besta options as well.
I did this very thing years ago in my last house. I added a light switch and rope lighting in the top behind the crown moulding which added a nice lighting effect. If I were to do it again, I'd likely make a shelf accross the top with recessed lighting pucks....
This turned out beautiful, would love to try this out when im no longer a renter. Incidentally, I am in love with your curtains! Where did you get them?
That is outstanding!
The BESTA series has different dimensions than the BILLY; if your space doesn't fit BILLY, it might fit BESTA. FYI, both are really easy to cut down if necessary.
BESTA, cut down to size to fit into an alcove in my house:
If you decide to cut them down though, cutting down laminate IKEA pieces actually takes more labor than using lumber and painting it, because you have to be a lot more careful and can't just hide errors with paint and caulk later, and you have to do it in a way that it will still fit together. I used the BESTA because I really wanted that modern/walnut look, not for any sort of time-saving reasons. It also ended up being more expensive than lumber.
This shelf, made from lumber and painted, took me about two hours to build:
The BESTA cut-down took the better part of several days.
Wow! Great job.
WOW! I think I'm in love with Billy.

8 Tips for Going Paperless In Your Small Business
Ray Coleman is a small business owner who writes about money management, green living, and sustainability.
One of the great benefits of the modern age is the ability of small businesses to conduct a majority of their operations in the digital realm. Eliminating the need for bulky file cabinets, storage facilities, photocopiers, printers, and scanners can reduce overhead dramatically. Replacing costly courier services with emails, and swapping out newsletters and solicitations for social media and web-based marketing programs means serious cost savings, as well.
Essentially, all of this comes down to replacing paper with pixels. By taking your business green, you're not only helping the environment, you're freeing up a ton of working capital for your venture – and often creating a better and preferred experience for your customers, partners, suppliers, and employees. For some very effective strategies to help take your small business paperless, read on.
1. Use Google Apps For Business
The suite of apps offered by Google can help small businesses cut down on the amount of paper documents they need. Use Google Mail and Chat to communicate online with your staff and clients. Collaborate electronically on projects via Google Docs - its word processing and spreadsheet functions can be contributed to and saved by multiple members of a group. For non-Google Docs files, share them through Google Drive. Insist that your staff work solely off their devices and you can cut back significantly on the wasteful use of paper.
2. Switch to Electronic Payroll and Accounting
Reduce the number of paper invoices and checks your business sends out by taking your payroll and accounting needs online with the FreshBooks website. It's a cloud-based accounting solution designed specifically for small business owners that allows you to create invoices and track expenses and hours worked all with an intuitive software interface and solid customer support. Freshbooks offers mobile apps as well, so you can handle all of your accounting responsibilities on your tablet or smartphone if you happen to be on the go.
3. Cut Down on Faxed Documents
If clients or other businesses you work with still fax documents, sign up for a service that converts incoming faxes to email messages. Two companies to consider are MetroFax and MyFax. If you have to fax a document to another party, convert it into PDF form and send it through one of these services so that your recipient receives it in fax form on the other end.
4. Choose the Right Cloud Platform
When you go paperless you're going to need a cloud-based platform to store your documents, and when deciding on the right one always keep security in mind. There have been several notable security breaches involving cloud-based storage platforms, including an incident with one of the market leaders, Dropbox. Two additional and advantageous document storage websites with high security ratings are JustCloud and SugarSync.
5. Move Your Marketing Strategy Online
Marketing via email is a lot less expensive than a direct mail campaign, a lot less time-consuming, and more cost effective. In an article in the Harvard Business Review it was found that the response rate for direct mail marketing and email marketing was about equal, which means it can be of great advantage to your small business to adopt a digital marketing strategy. Send out email newsletters and offers, and stay on top of all your social media pages, including Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and Instagram using a tool like HootSuite, which streamlines all feeds and keeps you in sync with your social communities. According to an IDC research report sponsored by Facebook, 18 to 44-year-olds who own an iPhone or Android check Facebook an average of 14 times per day. That pales in comparison to the one time per day most of us check the post box.
6. Mobilize Your Paperless Strategy
When searching for ways to maximize your paperless activity, put your smartphone to use. To keep track of your expenses, use the Shoeboxed or Exepnsify apps to snap pictures of receipts and track business-related spending. You can also use the DocuSign app for signing and sending important documents for signature, instead of going through the process of printing, signing, scanning, faxing and emailing. Its high, enterprise-level security protocols make it the most attractive candidate in the eSignature industry.
7. Get Electronic Receipts For Office Supply Purchases
The next time you head out to Office Depot or Office Max to pick up miscellaneous supplies or larger purchases, ask to have your receipt emailed to you - it's one less piece of paper to keep track of. Establish folders in your email account to store these receipts as they arrive, so when the time comes to sort through your expenses you can have an easy job of it.
8. Reduce Junk Mail
The website DirectMail allows you to sign up for its National Do Not Mail List. Fill out the form, including your small business's address, and you can significantly reduce the amount of junk mail you receive. This cuts down on waste and frees up more time for you to take care of what's really important.
Final Thoughts
Going paperless may make you feel a bit more vulnerable, knowing there are no hard-copy backups of what you've stored in the cloud. If that's the case, get an external hard drive and transfer all of your documents onto it. Also consider signing up for a second cloud-based service, simply for backup purposes. This way you've got multiple means of protection should you suffer a computer crash or one of your cloud servers go down.
Fortunately, vulnerability is becoming a thing of the past for many individuals and small business with the strength and rapid evolution of cloud based businesses.

When I was out of work for nine months a decade ago, I felt like the universe was conspiring against me. I had way too much free time, I thought I deserved a lengthy wallow in my favorite comfort foods, and my desk was only a dozen steps from the refrigerator. Sure enough, before I landed a job, an extra 10 pounds had landed on me.
How to avoid the piling on of pounds? To find out, I consulted one of my favorite gurus, Pam Peeke, MD, whose new book, The Hunger Fix, harnesses the latest neuroscience research to the task of achieving and maintaining a healthy weight.
The first thing she told me surprised me. "When you're unemployed, your stress response is in overdrive. You're filled with uncertainty and anxiety. You feel helpless, hopeless and defeated. Toxic stress can keep your stress hormones permanently elevated. For some people, this takes away their appetite and they lose weight."
Wait a minute. Takes away their appetite? Who are these people and how can I join their tribe?
Peeke tells me that it's a small number of people and assures me that it is not a healthy place to be. For most of us, the problem is the reverse. "There are stress undereaters and stress overeaters. More women then men are emotional eaters. Men often turn to alcohol, while women hit the food. And even if you're a stress undereater, the weight will come back, though there's no telling when. Maybe when you land a job, or maybe you just get used to being unemployed."
For the majority of us — the stress overeaters — Peeke has a formula to follow.
Keep a Routine. We know this is important for your job search; turns out, it's also key to warding off the extra weight. "Take classes, develop a new skill, research new fields that have the best job prospects," Peeke says, because it will help you stay positive. Don't walk around in a bathrobe. You have to take care of yourself mentally. "You must have patience and perseverance. You never know when a random situation will bear fruit for you."

TEAMS: New Orleans Saints, San Francisco 49ers, Cleveland Browns
getty images The San Francisco 49ers have interest in veteran quarterback Seneca Wallace. Wallace is expected to visit the 49ers according to CSNBayArea.com. The 49ers have a mix of quarterbacks behind starter Colin Kaepernick. There appears to be no clear cut No. 2 on the depth cart but Colt McCoy is expected to relieve Karpernick in Sunday's preseason game against Minnesota. Wallace, 33, was cut this week by the New Orleans Saints. He did not play during the 2012 season after being cut by the Cleveland Browns in training camp. Wallace has appeared in 62 games, including 21 starts. It is hard to imagine Wallace making an impact with the 49ers this season but then again he has about as much of a chance as anyone below Kaepernick on the depth chart.

If you need help installing, tuning, or querying your data with InfiniDB, you can contact email@example.com.
InfiniDB allows configurations for multiple User Modules (UM). Behavior with a multiple UM system should be understood before using this type of configuration.
When a multi-UM system is first installed (either by initial installation or subsequently adding a UM), certain behavior exists for query execution, cross-engine joins and query statistics collection as follows:
Benefits for using the default installation setup for multiple UMs:
· Users/Tools still only need to use InfiniDB from UM1
· Automatic round-robin distribution/scale-out of queries (based on connection id) across all UMs as illustrated in the following graphic:
NOTE: In this default setup, there will be a mysql instance running on UM 2..N. These mysql instances must NOT be used for connection to InfiniDB as there is no synchronization of schema between them. If you need to use more than one mysql instance please see the Multiple Front-End Configuration section.
Cross-Engine joins allow InfiniDB tables to be joined with non-InfiniDB tables (i.e., MyIsam tables) within a query. The connection information, as defined further in the InfniDB Administrator's Guide, controls which UM the ExeMgr will be used to access the non-InfiniDB tables. By default, the cross-engine entry in the Calpont.XML file will have no connection information defined:
If using this capability, you will need to populate this information by defining the connection information and restarting the system to distribute the Calpont.XML across all UMs.
NOTE: Defining this connection information to point to UM1 will allow all users access to the non-InfiniDB tables regardless of which UM is processing the query:
Example Calpont.XML entry to point to UM1 (with ip address of 10.100.135.85):
Additional Notes:
· Firewall access for the port must be resolved between the UMs. Contact your System Administrator for information on this.
· Grant access must be resolved as well. Please see the InfiniDB Administrator's Guide for more information.
Once enabled, query statistics are gathered and populated into the querystats table in the reserved infinidb_querystats database. Please see the Query Performance chapter in the InfiniDB Administrator's Guide for more information.
The CrossEngineSupport entry in Calpont.XML is used to determine where the querystats table is populated (see Cross-engine Join illustration above). As with query and cross-engine joins, the same benefits apply in that only one UM1 would need to be used to analyze statistics across the whole InfiniDB system.
InfiniDB also has the capability to provide a concurrency scale out configuration. Please see The InfiniDB Architecture chapter in the InfiniDB Concepts Guide for more information.
Benefits with this configuration:
· Higher concurrency capability with multiple front-ends.
· Users/Tools may connect to InfiniDB on any UM.
· High Availability capable in case of the failure of one of the UMs.
Disadvantage with this configuration:
· The front-end definitions for these User Modules must be kept in synch. Therefore, any DDL that has been executed on a UM must be replicated to the other UMs.
· Any changes to the MySQL configuration file (my.cnf) must manually be kept in sync across all UMs.
NOTE: The only difference between this configuration and the intial default configuration is the use of the front-end interface on all UMs instead of just one UM.
When a multi-UM system is used with multiple-front ends, the same query behavior exists for query execution and the same automatic round-robin distribution exists across all UMs as illustrated in the following graphic:
Again, there is nothing unique to using this configuration other than the high importance of keeping the front-ends for all UMs in synch. Please see "Keeping Multiple Front-End Interfaces in Synch" chapter later in this Guide.
Cross-Engine Joins must still be set up regardless of using a single front-end or using multiple front-ends. If using this capability, you will need to populate this information by defining the connection information to point to the localhost and restarting the system to distribute the Calpont.XML across all UMs.
· Defining this connection information to point to localhost will allow all users access to the non-InfiniDB tables regardless of which UM is processing the cross-engine query and allow for HA capability in case of a failure of a UM.
· Any non-InfiniDB tables being used for cross-engine joins must be kept in synch for both definition and data. If following the procedure for keeping the multiple front-ends in synch, the non-InfiniDB tables will automatically synch as they reside in the mysql/db directory under the InfiniDB structure.
· The potential is greater for indeterminate results due to the front-ends not in synch.
Example Calpont.XML entry to point to localhost:
As with the default installation, the CrossEngineSupport entry in Calpont.XML is used to determine where the querystats table is populated (see Cross-engine Join illustration above).
This leads to a disadvantage of using multiple front-end interfaces in that the statistics will be populated on each UM that the query originated from and the administrator would have to analyze statistics on each UM.
If this disadvantage is great enough, then it is recommended to have both cross-engine and query statistics collection point to a single UM (i.e.UM1). If a failure occurs, then manual modification of the Calpont.XML entry would be need to point to another UM (i.e.UM2).
As referenced earlier, if using multiple front-end interfaces, the front-end definitions for these User Modules must be kept in synch. Therefore, any DDL and non-InfiniDB table creation/population that have been executed on a UM must be replicated to the other UMs. The information below describes options to effectively perform this replication.
When in a configuration with multiple front-end interfaces, it is InfiniDB's recommendation that all DDL and non-InfiniDB table creation/population be executed on only one UM, preferably UM1. By doing this, it is easier to keep all UMs in synch by using one of the two options below.
Note: In addition to these options below, any changes made to the MySQL Configuration file (my.cnf) must be made across all UMs.
Note: This is the preferred option to use.
All front-end schema information resides in the following directory under the InfiniDB system:
This schema information must be kept in synch across all online UMs. In order to keep them in synch, the rsync command may be used to synch up the source UM to all other target UMs.
Here is an example rsync command used to sync up 2 UM servers with a root installation (excluding any MySQL .err and .pid files). This would be executed on the source UM where DDL statements have been executed:
rsync -vuopg -e ssh --delete --exclude=*err --exclude=*pid -r / usr/local/Calpont/mysql/db root@infiniDB_UM2:/usr/local/Calpont/ mysql/
If a more automated mechanism is desired, this command can be placed within a script. Please see "Appendix A - Script Example for rsync" or an example of this command within a script.
The following areas of syntax must be kept in synch on all UMs:
· All Non-InfiniDB table DDL, DML and import
The CREATE and DROP commands can be used on all UMs needing to be synched up.
· For any CREATE TABLE executed on a UM, the other UMs would have to be synched up using the 'schema sync only' comment. The same CREATE TABLE command would need to be executed on all other UMs with the comment option.
CREATE newtable (column_info) ENGINE=INFINIDB COMMENT='schema sync only';
· For any DROP TABLE executed on a UM, the other UMs would have to be synched up using the RESTRICT option. This DROP TABLE command would need to be executed on all other UMs.
DROP TABLE droppedtable RESTRICT;
· For any ALTER TABLE or RENAME TABLE command, the combination of the above two statements of DROP and CREATE would need to be executed on all other UMs.
DROP TABLE alteredtable RESTRICT;
CREATE alteredtable (column_info) ENGINE=INFINIDB COMMENT='schema sync only';
· For any CREATE PROCEDURE or DROP PROCEDURE command, the same command would need to be executed on all other UMs.
· For any CREATE DATABASE or DROP DATABASE command, the same command would need to be executed on all other UMs.
All actions against non-InfiniDB tables on one UM must be kept in synch on all UMs if using this manual method. This included the following actions:
· DDL -Table creation/modification
· DML - All INSERTS, UPDATES, DELETE, LOAD DATA INFILE commands
· Import - Any imports into non-InfiniDB tables must be replicated across all UMs.
Replication across User Modules may be set up where there is one replication master and one or more replication slaves. Please see the "Replication across UMs" section below for more information.
InfiniDB provides the ability to query data from a single PM and for the query results to remain on the PM without having to use the network bandwidth between UM and PM. This allows local PM query and the results to be used as input for another query or cpimport. The following diagram illustrates the comparison between a standard query from the UM server and a query that originates from a PM server:
In Example 1, a query that originates from the UM follows the standard path of obtaining data from all PMs to satisfy the query. For Example 2, a query that originates from a PM only obtains the data specific to that PM.
In order to utilize this type of processing, the following key areas of InfiniDB must be set up:
Local PM query can be set up on InfiniDB PMs at installation/upgrade time in the postConfigure utility with the –lq option. When this option is used, the PM is changed to a UM/PM combination server. A user would then log into a specific UM/PM combination server as needed.
postConfigure -lq
Note: It is important to note that with this option, replication on all UMs (both standalone UMs and UMs as part of the PM) will be automatically enabled. See" Replication across UMs" section below.
As referenced earlier, if using multiple front-end interfaces, the front-end definitions for these User Modules must be kept in synch. Therefore, any DDL and non-InfiniDB table creation/population that have been executed on a UM must be replicated to the other UMs.
Automated replication can be set up on InfiniDB UMs where one UM is the replication master (typically UM1) and all other UMs (standalone UMs or UM/PM combination servers) are replication slaves. This is performed at installation/upgrade time in the postConfigure utility with the –rep option.
postConfigure -rep
Note: It is important to note that if local PM Query is desired along with replication, then the postConfigure –lq option should be used. See "Installation of Local PM Query" section below.
InfiniDB has the ability to query data from just a single PM instead of the whole database thru the UM. In order to accomplish this, the infinidb_local_query variable in the my.cnf configuration file is used and maybe set as a default for the instance or set at the session level. If the postConfigure utility has been executed with the –lq option (Local PM Query), this variable has automatically be set on for each PM. You may choose to modify this variable either at the instance level or session level. Please see the InfiniDB Administrator's Guide for modification at the instance level or the InfiniDB SQL Syntax Guide for setting at the session level.
As a reminder, with this variable set to on, only data from the local PM will be returned.
Example #1 - SELECT from a single table on local PM to import back on local PM:
With the infinidb_local_query variable set to 1 (default with local PM Query):
idbmysql -e 'select * from source_schema.source_table;' –N | /usr/local/Calpont/bin/cpimport target_schema target_table -s '\t' –n1
Example #2 - SELECT involving a join between a fact table on the PM node and dimension table across all the nodes to import back on local PM:
With the infinidb_local_query variable set to 0 (default with local PM Query):
Create a script (i.e., extract_query_script.sql in our example) similar to the following:
set infinidb_local_query=0;
select fact.column1, dim.column2 from fact join dim using (key) where idbPm(fact.key) = idbLocalPm();
The infinidb_local_query is set to 0 to allow query across all PMs.
The query is structured so that the UM process on the PM node gets the fact table data locally from the PM node (as indicated by the use of the idbLocalPm() function), while the dimension table data is extracted from all the PM nodes.
Then you can execute the script to pipe it directly into cpimport:
idbmysql source_schema -N < extract_query_script.sql | /usr/local/Calpont/bin/cpimport target_schema target_table -s '\t' –n1
The following is an example of placing the rsync command within a script for more automated means of executing the rsync command. The rsync command would be replicated for each UM needing to be kept in synch.
set timeout 600
set PASSWORD serverpwd
set COMMAND1 "rsync -vuopg -e ssh --delete --exclude=*err --exclude=*pid -r /usr/ local/Calpont/mysql/db root@infinidb_UM2:/usr/local/Calpont/mysql/"
set DEBUG 0
log_user $DEBUG
spawn -noecho /bin/bash
expect -re "# "
# send command
send "$COMMAND1\n"
expect {
-re "Host key verification failed" { send_user "FAILED: Host key verification failed\n" ; exit -1}
-re "service not known" { send_user " FAILED: Invalid Host\n" ; exit -1}
-re "ssh: connect to host" { send_user " FAILED: Invalid Host\n" ; exit -1 }
-re "authenticity" { send "yes\n"
expect {
-re "word: " { send "$PASSWORD\n" } abort
-re "word: " { send "$PASSWORD\n" } abort
expect {
-re "# " {} abort
-re "Permission denied" { send_user " FAILED: Invalid password\n" ; exit -1 }
-re "(y or n)" { send "y\n"
expect -re "# " { exit }

A total of 2096 candidates will be fighting the Dec 1 elections for 199 seats of the Rajasthan assembly, officials said on Sunday.
A senior officer of the Election Commission of Rajasthan told IANS that it will decide the date for election in one constituency where th epoll was countermanded following the death of a BSP candidate.
"A total of 618 candidates withdrew their nominations," the officer said. The last date for withdrawals was Saturday.
As many as 32 candidates are in the fray in the Adarsh Nagar constituency in Jaipur, while only three are contesting in Sujangarh in Churu district, the lowest number of contestants in a constituency.
The main contest is between the Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which have fielded candidates in all constituencies.
The newly-formed National People's Party is fighting for the spoils for the first time in the state and has fielded 150 candidates, while the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) has limited its fight to just over 100 seats.
Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot is confident of the Congress party returning to power with a thumping majority.
"I am confident that Congress, with the kind of the work the government has done in the last fice years, will return to power with a big majority," Gehlot said.
Vasundhara Raje, former chief minister and state president of the BJP, claimed her party will win the state elections because of misrule and corruption of the Congress government.
However, the National People's Party (NPP), which is headed by Kirorilal Meena, hopes to be the king-maker.
"We are confident of doing very well in polls this time," said Sunil Bhargava, state president of the NPP.
"The Congress and the BJP are the major political parties and the fight is mainly between them. However, NPP has fielded some of the rebels from both the political parties and may hurt both of the major parties in at least in 10-20 constituencies," said R.K Goswami, a political watcher.
"Rebel factor may hurt both the parties, and both are facing problems in at least in 30-40 odd constituencies," he said.
A divorce, a jail term, determined foes: Bihar CM Nitish Kumar fighting a lone battle?
The divorce between Narendra Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party and Nitish Kumar's Janata Dal(U) and a few days of change in residence for Rashtriya Janata Dal's Lalu Prasad – from 10, Circular Road in Patna to the Ranchi jail in Jharkhand – have totally changed the game that is played in Bihar.
Angry with the SP, convinced that the Congress is a losing proposition, unsure of AAP's ability to win, and fearful that Mayawati may ally with the BJP in the future, Muslims have a difficult choice.

ASHEVILLE, N.C. (AP) — A couple has been rescued after spending a frigid night lost on a hiking trail in a national wilderness area in western North Carolina.
The Asheville Citizen-Times reports that Matt and Linden Jones got lost Sunday night on a trail in the Shining Rock Wilderness Area in southern Haywood County.
The couple used a cell phone to call for help and about 80 rescuers combed the area, but couldn't find them at night. The hikers shared a sleeping bag and built a fire to stay warm in temperatures that dropped into the 20s.
Highway Patrol Trooper Gene Williamson says the couple was found Monday after a helicopter spotted them near a river.

One of the passions I learned from my father was an appreciation of birds. They not only look good but they're fascinating creatures descended from Dinosaurs. And, they often taste "just like chicken."
This year there has been an "eruption" of Great Snowy Owls from the Arctic. These birds are being spotted all over the United States. I SAW ONE myself near Microsoft in South Fargo just a week or two ago! It was magnificent. White, (duh!) A huge wing spread, Stan Tekeila, the naturalist tells us they can have a wing span of 5-6 feet.
We opened our phone lines and took calls from listeners that have seen a Great Snowy in their lifetimes or even just lately.

SAN BRUNO, Calif. – Gonzaga University freshman guard Kevin Pangos has been named the West Coast Conference Player of the Week for his role in the Bulldogs over Butler University and the Air Force Academy last week, Commissioner Jamie Zaninovich announced Monday.
For the week Pangos averaged 21.0 ppg, 4.0 rpg, 2.0 assists/game. He shot 56.0 percent from the field, going 14-for-25, and shot 47.4 percent from the 3-point line on 9-for-19. He also went a perfect 5-for-5 from the free throw line. He also had a pair of steals and an assist-to-turnover ratio of 1.3, committing just three turnovers in 73 minutes.
Pangos, from Newmarket, Ontario, began the week with 19 points against two-time Final Four finalist Butler, going 7-for-11 from the field, 3-7 from 3-point range and 2-2 from the line. He scored 12 points in first half on 4-5 from the field and 2-3 from 3-point range as Gonzaga built 10-point halftime lead.
He came back with 23 points on 7-14 from the field, 6-12 from 3-point range and 3-3 from the line against Air Force. He scored 17 of Gonzaga's 28 first-half points against Air Force, going 5-8 from the field including 4-7 from 3-point range.
The Bulldogs, 9-2 overall, open WCC action Wednesday at home against the University of Portland, then have a Saturday non-conference game at Xavier University. Following a pair of losses last week Xavier fell out of both the Associated Press and ESPN/USA Today Top 25 polls. Gonzaga and Xavier are receiving votes in both polls.

Alacritech, the pioneer in NFS storage acceleration, today announced that Logan has deployed Alacritech's ANX 1500 Network File System (NFS) acceleration appliance to deliver productivity increases and dramatic performance acceleration. By coupling the ANX 1500 with file servers running CentOS, Logan was able to avoid purchasing excessive and expensive network-attached storage (NAS) infrastructure, costing nearly 50% more in capital. Furthermore, the ANX 1500 purchased, functioning as a performance layer, can support additional NAS systems, when they are brought on line.
Using Alacritech's ANX 1500, Logan was able to achieve dramatic performance gains. Prior to Alacritech, artists could only use 10 of the company's 45 render nodes at a time without overloading the storage and even with that, renders took as long as two minutes and 38 seconds per frame. After installing the ANX, all 45 render nodes could concurrently render jobs without experiencing a serious degradation in response times. In fact, overall render time dropped to just 38 seconds per frame. A big bonus realized was that the load on the filer was reduced by 14/15ths because of the ANX's ability service client NFS requests. The ANX 1500 is the first and only storage product to accelerate the performance of an existing storage network without requiring an organization to replace its infrastructure or surrender ownership of data.
Reliability was also becoming an issue as large demands on the server during heavy render periods caused it to lock up that required rebooting the server. Brian Krusic, a network consultant at Logan, was faced with the challenge of finding a solution that was reliable, scalable, and extremely cost effective. Before selecting Alacritech, Brian considered installing an industry standard BlueArc NAS solution. But BlueArc would have been a much more costly installation requiring additional AC, power, and more physical space. Instead, Brian decided to make use of inexpensive but reliable commodity file servers running CentOS (a free operating system based on Red Hat Linux) coupled with the ANX 1500 to both cache and accelerate data movement.
"We were blown away by the performance gains we saw at the low price point", said Brian. "Not only did the render times drop dramatically, but the fact that artists could access data while all 45 render nodes were rendering was fantastic. It was a major turnaround and has really increased the productivity of our artists."
"The Logan use case is particularly interesting in that Brian was able to apply the same level of creativity that his industry is known for to his storage infrastructure," said Doug Rainbolt, Vice President of Marketing of Alacritech. "By using the ANX 1500 to maximize their existing NAS system performance, they were able to boost NFS reads and metadata operations into overdrive, giving cycles back to NAS so that it can do more. They did this at a much lower cost than what he would have spent in capital and power required of a more expensive NAS solution."
A final benefit of using the Alacritech NFS Appliance is that, because it is a non-intrusive way to inexpensively boost performance, it saves Logan the time and cost of data migration.
"Alternate solutions would have required a highly manual effort to move files between servers, a time consuming process," said Brian. "With what we've done, the process is so much simpler, and for a small company such as ours, that is a big deal."
About Logan
Logan is a New York and Los Angeles based creative design, production and visual effects company. With a talented group of VFX supervisors, directors, creative directors, photographers, etc., they have created such productions as Zombie Land, Avengers and Gymkhana.

About Alacritech
Founded in 1997 by network storage pioneer Larry Boucher and group of respected storage executives, Alacritech sets new records for the delivery of increasing amounts of enterprise cloud, video and other rich application data. The company's first NFS Acceleration appliance, the ANX 1500, mitigates Network Attached Storage (NAS) sprawl and dramatically improves the performance of NFS infrastructures, and does so without requiring the replacement of existing ecosystems or the surrender of ownership of mission-critical data. The ANX 1500 pays for itself faster than any other storage infrastructure solution and provides by far the lowest cost per operations per second (OPS). The company holds 54 patents and has received $34 million in funding from Benchmark Capital, Berkeley International Capital Corporation, Munder Capital Management, Needham Capital Partners, and Quantum Technology Ventures.

I've done something really silly and I hope someone here can advise me what to do.
My mother is due back off holiday next week and she left me one of her lenses for me to have a go with. While I was taking some pictures in a field, I droped the lense in the mud and although I've tried to clean it, it sounds a little crunchy when I twist the focus bit.
Anyone advise me how to clean it?
Thank you.
Is it an expensive lens....?
For a proper strip down and clean, Give this company a call and ask them if they can do a very quick job.
If you are anywhere near them you could call in, Or just explain whats happened, Pray on their softer side.
Not sure twisting the mud to a powder is such a good idea, It may get into the lens and make things a lot worse.
If its a cheap lens, Just shop around and buy her a new one, Its the only kind thing to do.
It's Canon 70-200 lense. A neighbour of ours is a school caretaker and he said he would take it apart and have a look at it?
I'm not sure he'll be able to fix the crunching. What do you think? Shall I let him have a go?
I think a repair company might be expensive.
I've got about a week.
Depending on which 70-200 lens it may be worth as little as £500 or possibly as much as £2,000. Personally I wouldn't let anyone other than a bonafide repair centre near it were it me (and that would have included any offspring). Also if your mother has a warranty or insurance on the lens you would no doubt invalidate it by any DIY efforts.
Confess to your Mum. She may be covered by house or camera insurance, but don't let a next door neighbour have a go, he could make it so much worse. Does the lens still work, or is it just mud? You can phone a Canon repair centre & ask for a quote.
Mind you, if you were mine, I'm with Anna, you'd be up for adoption
Don't let a school caretaker anywhere near the lens unless they are a skilled lens technical from a previous *very recent* employment. It would be a bit like letting 'Uncle Fred' who 'knows a bit about cars' tinker with a Mazarati.
Is this lens fairly new? Is the colour of the body white? Is it an EF mount lens?
AFAIK, the only 70-200 currently available at the moment (new) in are from the L series. They are coloured white and they run in at approximately:
70-200 f24 L = £500
70-200 f4 L IS = £950
70-200 f2.8 L = £1000
70-200 f2.8 L IS = £1900
*source - Bristol Cameras
If its an L series lens then you are talking about a very expensive piece of precision engineering and taking it to a reputable cleaning service company (or sending it to Canon) is the only way ahead (e.g. cameracats link above)
If the body is black and/or the lens is very old then the value of the lens will be much less. What camera were you using at the time (this will determine if its a modern EF mount or the old FD mount). IIRC there was a 70-210mm FD lens and a 75-200mm FD lens from Canon however Im not sure about a 70-200mm FD
Dont panic .. the lens is likely to be be very saveable .. you just may need to own up to the accident and offer to pay for the cleaning job.
Good luck, Dave B.
I wouldn't attempt to clean it yourself internally, other than a good wipe over on the outside and I definitely wouldn't let someone take it apart. I'd either explain to your mother what's happened and offer to pay for a professional clean and service or just get it done anyway before her return.Last Modified By justin c at 17 Aug 2010 - 8:01 AM
Adoption agencies... just give the link to your mum.
In no circumstances let your neighbour any where near this - if it is insured (likely to be covered under the house contents insurance) then the policy will be worthless if someone has had tampered with the lens.
I think others have given the best advice - especially Justin C. Add to that a big bunch of flowers and some serious creeping...
Alison....other than the flowers and the house spotless, don't do anything 'till your mother get's home, she may be more understanding than you think.
If this is the daftest thing you ever do you'll be one lucky lady.....do not compound the mishap.
....there is nothing wasted by waiting.
good luck.....Mike
Dont do anything, just do what my kids did just leave it until your Mum says "Hey I think there's something wrong with my lens" and when she asks do you know anything about it -- just deny it! Always worked for my kids.......................................................... !Last Modified By collywobles at 17 Aug 2010 - 4:12 PM
Quote: It's Canon 70-200 lense. A neighbour of ours is a school caretaker and he said he would take it apart and have a look at it?
Lol.. He'll do the standard school caretaker fix: pile some sawdust on it from a galvanised bucket.
I have repaired a few lenses in the past, manual focus ones before autofocus came out. The can be straight forward or a nightmare. I woudln't let the school jannie have a go if it was mine.
Great news everyone!
My neighbour brought the lense back to me this evening, all cleaned and working perfectly!
He's had it all day and done a great job. No crunching and no dirt.
The only problem he said was that the 'Passed' label was cleaned off?
Not sure what he meant but maybe someone could explain what 'Passed' label is and does it effect the lense working?
It looks just like it did before I dropped it.

Quote: Not sure what he meant but maybe someone could explain what 'Passed' label is and does it effect the lense working?
It's a little oval gold and black sticker that is stuck on the lens barrel that says - funnily enough - 'passed' on it. I thought they'd stopped using those years ago, actually.
Its loss won't change the way the lens works. Except your mum's bound to notice. You'll simply have to confess now........
PS could you post some shots from inside the orphanage after you're put up for adoption?

Chicago Blu welcomes diners into its family-friendly eatery with live music and hearty bar fare. The menu revs up stomach engines with starters such as spicy southwest rolls stuffed with cheese and chicken and served with tangy ranch or sweet chili sauce ($7). Wrap tonsils around the Southside blu burger—a pretzel bun cradling a half-pound of charbroiled beef topped with bleu cheese and grilled onions ($8.50). Those who put pork on a pedestal can commission a replica of The Thinker made of bacon or can opt for a BBQ rib platter served with coleslaw and fries ($8.50/half rack, $16/whole rack). Entree salads can give grazers their fill of greenery ($9+), and a beer or a glass of wine from the full bar lubes up digestive tracks for the death by brownie dessert ($6).
The Holiday Star Theater, originally Holiday Theatre, opened in 1950. Classic Cinemas took over the theater in 1980 and renamed it the Park Forest Theatre. In 1990, Classic Cinemas restored the theater to much of its original 1950s appearance, and divided the auditorium into two screens, with capacities of 374 and 276 seats
At FieldCrest School of Performing Arts, students ascend through three levels of stardom?I'm a Star (for toddlers through preteens), Fashion Plate (for toddlers through preteens), and Camera Ready (for teens)?through bundles of acting, modeling, and dance classes that build a solid foundation of arts education. Acting classes build upon pantomime and improv before moving into performance and technique, and modeling sessions teach students how to prowl and pose like a pro on the catwalk. Ballet, jazz, tap, and hip-hop lessons give pupils the grace and moves they need to perform classical and contemporary routines.
Since its founding in 1977, FieldCrest has cultivated a motivational environment that encourages self-expression and poise. Besides arts classes, it also offers etiquette courses that can convert even the most slovenly kids and adults into Miss Manners devotees.
At TomKelly's Chophouse and Pub, an emblazoned cloverleaf over the door may grant Irish luck to all who enter, but it?s the menu of Irish-inspired pub fare that leaves eyes (and stomachs) smiling. Emerald Isle dishes of corned beef and cabbage and shepherd's pie join American counterparts including pizzas bedecked with buffalo chicken and po boys topped with prime rib, grilled onions, and mozzarella cheese. While devouring Irish eats, guests can take in sporting events from 14 plasma TVs.
Post Game Pub & Sedona Grille's upbeat crew slings hearty sandwiches, piping pizzas, and zesty wings from an extensive menu selection. Prevent bellies from roaring at children by savoring a Sedona-stuffed burger, a half-pound patty packed with onions, jalapeños and bacon, and coated with barbecue sauce ($8.95). Specialty pub wings don their breading, dive into in a deep fryer, sear on the grill, and sidle onto plates wearing a bold slathering of honey mustard, barbecue, or hot sauce ($6.95 for eight; $9.95 for 12). Diners can stage their own extreme Wheel of Fortune tournament by spinning a 12-inch pub pizza ($8.50+) and then demanding a trip to Barbados.
Big Fish Bar & Grille's owner lures diners with seafood specialties made from fresh fish, which fill the lunch menu and dinner menu. Begin comestible voyages by knocking back an order of oysters Rockefeller ($14) while basking in the waterfront restaurant's vistas. A golden crab cake, cloaked in seasoned breadcrumbs like a baker playing hide and seek, rests on the Crabby Patty sandwich with Old Bay–sprinkled fries ($11). The Louisiana mac 'n' cheese, a pool of rigatoni noodles swimming amongst waves of a four-cheese sauce, buoys Cajun chicken and andouille sausage ($13). Big Fish wraps up the docket of edibles with a variety of jambalayas, steaks, and chops.
