This is a private matter?
You got that right. But hey, bozo, do you read your own Slogs? Will you do ANYTHING to get on TV?
"Mary Cheney, Vice President Dick Cheney's carpet-munching daughter, is pregnant. I wonder what the gay haters on the right—they're opposed to same-sex relationships, gay adoption, and the insemination of lesbians—are going to make of the news. Unless Cheney's conception was immaculate, or Cheney's butch partner is even butcher than she appears to be, Mary Cheney had some help.
It looks like the Washington Post refrained from asking the obvious follow-up question: Who's the baby daddy? Who donated the spunk? Unknown donor? Frozen sperm? Or a known donor, a friend of Heather & Mary's? A lot of lesbians are hooking up with gay men to make babies—these newish arrangements were the subject of a recent New York Times Magazine piece. So was it a Republican homo donor dad? Ken Mehlmen? Ted Haggard? Mark Foley?
Inquiring minds wanna know."
It's been a long day. I'm a changed man.
You go! I couldn't agree more. Those f***s are too busy talking out both sides of their mouths to make any sense.

No, I agree with the commenter above. You're pretty much a hypocritcal sack of shit! Other than that, nice work.
Tulip bulbs?
There are good hypocrites as well as bad.
not tulip bulbs, vestibular bulbs....
it is too bad you didn't think of this before the broadcast. Would have been nice to hear the response.
Just saw you on the three-peat, Dan. Good job. There's no changing the positions of the wingnuts like the woman you were debating with but you may have brought a thought or two into the heads of the casual viewer. Thank you.
If Mary Cheney really was campaigning against the marriage amendment in Virginia, she did it pretty quietly. A $1,000 check? Tch.
Anyway: B-b-but there are STUDIES! This from someone at Mrs Left Behind's 'think-tank'. How about you make a bet if there's a next time: if Baby Cheney-Poe makes it to maturity without becoming a crackwhore, Concerned Woman dances on a float at Pride.
Dan Savage you are my hero. I just saw you on CNN and your ability to stay focused and on topic when some closed minded moron is spouting bullshit at you is amazing.

Where's the YouTube link?
Comment #1 you need, perhaps, a sense of humor infusion? The slog you quoted was written with a large dollop of jest. (Not completely in jest, of course, and hey, I'm curious about the daddy derby, too.) The comments Dan made on Anderson Cooper's show were wholly serious. That damn cow from Constipated Women for America had nothing to present other than the same old idiotic, bigoted, smugger-than-thou nonsense, which, I was glad to see Cooper made an effort to call her on several times. (In his polite, TV anchor, don't-ask-don't-tell sort of way.)
Of course this is a privacy matter. This began as a snarky slog attack on the irony found in a woman who actively campaigned for the election of a man who would deny her a family, dignity and civil rights, announcing with her lesbian partner of 15 years that she is with child. That's definitely worth a Cheneyesque smirk. It became something more serious, something else, when the Christianist busybodies began their attack later in the day.
Robert Knight, director of the Culture and Media Institute of the Media Research Center:
"I think it's tragic that a child has been conceived with the express purpose of denying it a father. Fatherhood is important and always will be, so if Mary and her partner indicate that that is a trivial matter, they're shortchanging this child from the start. Mary and Heather can believe what they want, but what they're seeking is to force others to bless their nonmarital relationship as marriage [and to] create a culture that is based on sexual anarchy instead of marriage and family values."
Dan is getting cuter as he ages. He takes a nice head shot.
# 16: Let's hear it for "sexual anarchy"; whatever that is......? Does that mean MEN won't control female sexuality? WHAHOO, I'M ALL FOR THAT!
Hey! Maybe after the baby's born Dan and Mary can bring both their kids on TV together!
Say what you will about the hypocrisy of Mary Cheney, but she's not a _complete_ media whore.
Hey! Maybe after the baby's born Dan and Mary can bring both their kids on TV together!
Say what you will about the hypocrisy of Mary Cheney, but she's not a _complete_ media whore.
They don't think Mary Cheney or any other lesbian should be in charge of her own uterus.
Actually, they don't think any woman should be in charge of her own uterus. Other than that minor quibble, excellent points, Dan.
#19 (and 20)
No, she's not a media whore. However, she is a child of privilege who worries not about rights as a whole because in her view rights can be bought. Let the rest eat cake.
B.D.--they were talking about Dan being the media whore.
I love the name, Concerned Women for America. That fat fucking cunt didn't know what hit her.
BTW, Dan did look good last night. Then he began speaking. Sigh...
I'm a concerned woman. I'm concerned that potiential sperm donors will look at this and say "Oh, FUCK no! If that's what can happen to my sperm, I'll keep it to myself!"
Well, Dan, my husband saw you on CNN while I was in the other room reading my autographed copy of "The Commitment" - and I think that I can say after last night that we are both your fans forever.
I do not have TV anymore which is fine. I turned my TV room into a drawing studio. But if the Dan interview comes up on" You Tube" it would be great too see. The only thing I have with Dan Savage in it is him on the "Lavern Show" introducing Dina Martina doing "Dina Dina Ballerina". It is one of my Prized clips. Dina Martina's uterus is now a national treasure I believe, like Mount Rushmore.
Let's hope the kid's dad is black! That could make things more interesting!
I forgot to say that Dina gave birth to her child (Phoebie) and I do not know who the father is and no one seems to make a big stink out of that.
does no one else find the quote in #16 particularly, um, poignant during this holiday season when we celebrate a woman named Mary bringing a fatherless child into the world via an unnatural non-sex act?
You know, I never thought of it that way: Jesus really was short-changed. Poor guy.
One of the wacko aritcles I read on this neglected to even mention Poe and just went on to say what a bad example she is setting by becoming a "single mother". Well if they could get married this wouldn't be an issue? They're "logic" is beyond my comprehension.
Dan, I don't think you're right that the bigots can't do anything about gay people having kids. States can, after all, have parents declared unfit and can take their kids away. We had better not underestimate how blindly, self-righteously dedicated the bigots are, or how apt the idiot American population is to go along with them. Organizations like CWA may be laughable, but they're also terrifying. Good job taking that woman down a peg, but ... brrrrrrrrr. Scary.
Damn I need cable. I guess I need to pray to youtube once again.
A in NC @ 31,
There's not much chance that a state will arbitrarily remove children from a healthy home. The nation's foster care systems are in total crisis because there are way too many kids who need homes and far too few acceptable foster parents.
So other than attacking us through constitutional amendments, there's not much the wrong wingers can do; except win the World Hypocrisy Olympics, of course.
As for my media whoredom, if I was a media whore I would move to New York. I don't get to do much TV, as I'm in Seattle which makes me expensive and inconvenient. Also, when CNN called last night the first words out of my mouth were, "You should ask Andrew Sullivan to do this." They already had, he couldn't, so they asked me.
Andrew, I hope you're right. I read your post and think, sure, but what would these people think constitutes a sufficiently "unhealthy" home to justify removing children? Maybe homes likely to consign those children's immortal souls to hell would count.
Then again, maybe I'm too pessimistic. In this as in so many things, the pragmatic issues work for us.
Great work on Anderson Cooper and I thought that AC was partial to your arguments more than the zaftig zombie of Concerned Women (which is headed by a man). I am, roughly, seven months pregnant, just had a doctor's appt yesterday and it's become abundantly clear to me that this society does not value women or their health care even/especially when they are in this exhaulted, holy condition.
My insurance, which is excellent by today's standards, does not cover whole swaths of my prenatal care. I got $5 of a fifty dollar prescription for prenatal vitamins. The pharmacist only filled the prescription for the amount the insurance 'covered' which was a month, despite the prescription being written for 90 days. Where's the care for the unborn there?
I vented a bit to my doctor and, of course, he's in complete agreement, but he added his experience dealing with insurance and hospitals. Did you know that Labor & Delivery is a 'loss leader' for hospitals? In other words, they don't make any money at it so the only reason they do it is that then the family develops a relationship with the whole family who will go to the place where their little angel was born for all their profitable health care.
I used go along with that old saw that the right wingnuts only cared about the unborn. Oh, if only that were true. They don't care about the unborn except as a symbol of their narrow 'values'. Hey, zaftig zombie, my kid's going to have a mother and father and we're married, could you help out with my vitamins to put your money where your foetus worshipping mouth is? I earn a comfortable living but I am not as rich as the Cheneys.
CNN.COM has a transcript: http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0612/06/acd.01.html
Seriously, I think I may have turned out better if I had homosexual parents. At least I would have been raised from the beginning to have an open mind and recognize that relationships DO NOT, in fact, only exist between "one man, and one woman." Anyone who thinks gays and lesbians can't get married or have children are just closed-minded haters that are too preoccupied with the fact that they, themselves, have absolutely no sex, so they have to go out and ruin it for everybody else. Does the relationship and family status of people we don't even know really even matter?
By the way, whoever left comment number 1 is a douche-bag who doesn't get it. Way to quote the Slog and not come up with your own real opinion!
When is she going to BC to get married?
Dan has been offered numerous TV shows. Cheesey shit, reality shows (cameras in his house), dating shows, etc. He has turned them all down. Because he won't do anything to get on TV.
That he is on TV from time to time is not evidence that he will do anything to get on TV. He could be on more if he wanted to.
"There's not much chance that a state will arbitrarily remove children from a healthy home. The nation's foster care systems are in total crisis because there are way too many kids who need homes and far too few acceptable foster parents."
Yes, but states like Oklahoma are prepared to deny the parenthood of same-sex couples who have adopted elsewhere but travel to states where they legally are not parents.
These people want so badly to bring back the "good ol' days" when you could take the children away from a homosexual couple, when you could fire them at will from their jobs, when they could be put in jail for immoral behavior. And the justification for wishing this hatefulness on other human beings for the awful crime of being in love?
As Quentin Crisp put it, because they can't think about sexuality without thinking of a specific sex act, and then they immediately think, "well, I wouldn't like to do THAT," so they are repulsed by anyone they think might do THAT.
Speaking as someone who was reared from birth by lesbians, the Concerned Women for America, Focus on the Family, and the rest of these blindly homophobic bigots can bite my lily-white ass. I am not a crack whore, I don't live under a bridge, I'm a taxpaying citizen in a happy marriage. So blow me, Zaftig Zombie Woman, you and all your hateful ilk.
I'm single, straight, childless and Canadian. 3 or maybe 4 out of 4 of those make me unqualified to comment, but, whatever.
I saw the thing on CNN and thought, Dan's opponent is either stupid or dishonest and is, knowingly or not, delivering a serious, hardcore, personal insult. Meanwhile, Dan looked calm and serious and did absolutely the best thing possible to get an American voter thinking, "Am I or am I not in support of gay or lesbian couples trying to raise kids," to agree with his position. Good work, Dan, even though from your remarks on this site it was obviously painful as hell.
Thanks for the link, Jenk. And a resounding "well done!" to Dan.
Would someone who lives in America please find Ms Crouse and punch her in the mouth for me?
Heh. I'm glad I had straight parents.
Of course, that's because I'm gay, and if I had parents that were too, they'd know better than to let me have as much unsupervised same sex contact when I was in HS. Thank you, straight parents, for fun afternoons.
The thing that the transcript doesn't reflect is some of the weird noises that Zaftig Zombie was making while Savage was speaking. Kind of coo-ing, kind of mmm-ing, kind of condescending.

DENVER (AP) A Paola, Kansas man is in serious condition after he and two others were shot in Denver Sunday morning. A Wamego student is also recovering from his wounds.
A spokesperson for Denver Health Medical Center says 22-year old Ian Dumpert of Paola is listed in serious condition after the robbery and shootings. 22-year old John Watt of Wamego is in fair condition, while a 23-year old Illinois man is reported in fair condition.
The three were part of a group of seven who were in Colorado for a concert. Most of them drove over from Kansas State University, and were robbed by two men Sunday morning. Even though the students complied and gave the bandits their money, they were shot anyway.
Four others were not injured: Dakota Hensley and Ken Giefer of Manhattan, Trenton Foster of Lawrence, and a Colorado man who was with the group. Police believe the two masked men have shot six people in Denver since last Friday.

"Not today," says the gruff older Indian woman behind the counter at Kusum Foods (2899 N. Decatur Road, Decatur, 404-296-3338). That's the third time she's said that after I've asked for a specific dish. I'm frustrated and a little embarrassed, so I try to joke about the lack of availability, but her stoicism doesn't break. I finally select a few dishes with success and escape to my booth in the oddly bright blue room. The woman shouts that one of my orders is ready and I timidly approach the counter to whisk away my chaat, a style of street snack originating in India's Gujarat state – the birthplace of Kusum's cuisine. Gujarati cuisine is primarily vegetarian with an emphasis on seasonality.
Many of the chaat use similar ingredients such as chickpeas, potatoes, chutney, yogurt and onion. However, the dishes' appeal is that they satisfy different textural cravings through different preparations. Bhel puri – a mound of puffed rice topped with mixed diced onions, potatoes, a spicy and sweet chutney, and crispy chickpea flour noodles – is at once sweet, savory, crunchy, tangy and earthy. It is best when eaten quickly since the chutney can make the rice soggy. Paani puri – one of the most well known styles of puri – arrives on a plate with a cup of sweet water. The puffed rice balls are filled with mashed potatoes and beans, which you delicately dip into the liquid before popping the whole thing in your mouth. Crackery flats of fried papdi are topped with soft potatoes, split beans, and thin yogurt, then drizzled with a spicy sauce hinting of tamarind. Crunchy orbs of dal vada are a combination of split beans and spices that resemble hush puppies minus the underlying sweetness, served with spicy mint chutney.
Truth be told, ordering here isn't always so tough – there are normally curries and other assorted dishes in the steam table for the taking. For a more balanced meal with less emphasis on frying, the thalis – a large round platter crowded with silver bowls filled with an assortment of different vegetable dishes – are not only a good deal, but a fun way to explore the various cooking styles and flavors for which Gujarati food is known. Since the steam tables were empty on this particular visit, we chose the kadhi, a yogurt curry slightly thickened with chickpea flour. We drizzled the curry – which is almost like drinking warm coconut milk – over the accompanying yellow rice. As we shoveled forkfuls of the resulting concoction into our mouths, our enthusiastic moans caught the attention of our hostess, who asked us, with genuine surprise, "You like it?!" Perhaps we'd misjudged our host's initial distance. Before the guilt could set in, she came around from the counter with a huge smile and a small plate of dense vibrant yellow coconut candies. They were gone in a flash.
I was not impressed with the greasy breakfast and rude service. That waitress with the…

Web posted Friday, October 23, 1998 12:34 p.m. CT
University of Texas students protest inside the UT Administrative offices Thursday Oct. 22, 1998 in Austin, Texas. Jemima Pierre, left center, and Mario Flores, right center, were among 40 students involved in the sit-in. Protesters staged the sit-in after UT President Larry Faulkner met with about 200 students but refused their demands to publish a statement on affirmative action and conduct town-hall meetings on the subject, students said.Sympathizers join protesters at UT
The Associated Press
AUSTIN (AP) - Hundreds of sympathizers joined protesters today at the University of Texas' landmark tower in a dispute over affirmative action policies.
Protesters contend the university has not done enough to attract minority students.
Jay Reed, a student leader in an anti-racist organizing committee, said about 40 student coalition members are on the tower's ground floor. But their ranks are swelling as more sympathizers consider coming to the tower, which is not locked down.
"We are staying until the president of the university, Larry Faulkner, comes down here," said Reed, as protesters shouted, "No Faulker, no justice, no peace."
Reed said no arrests have been made. Faulker's office did not return a telephone call from The Associated Press today.
"We intend to stay until he comes and addresses us," Reed said. "He needs to show whether he can prove he has the ability to lead and direct this university and its students. So far, it has been disappointing."
The sit-in began after what Reed called an unsatisfactory response by UT officials at a midday rally Thursday.
The protesters stayed all night to make their case - that they think the state's leading public university isn't diverse enough, and that administrators aren't doing enough to attract minority students.
University officials decided not to remove the students, but they took other measures to get them out.
First, officials attempted to starve the protesters.
"People tried to bring us pizza and other food, but the police wouldn't let it in," said Carl Villarreal, a 23-year-old sociology major from Corpus Christi.
Then the administrators really tightened the screws.
"They also locked the bathrooms," Villarreal said. Officials later unlocked the bathrooms, the Austin American-Statesman reported.
About 200 students attended Thursday's rally, then marched to a meeting with Faulkner. They demanded that Faulkner publish a statement of the school's views on affirmative action in the campus newspaper, The Daily Texan, and hold a series of town hall meetings on the subject. Faulkner declined.
Reed said the university went too far in dismantling all affirmative-action programs after a court struck down minority-preference admission policies in the law school.
Faulkner said he sympathizes with the students, and the university is appealing a court ruling against a UT affirmative-action admissions policy.
"I think it's unfortunate they seem not to perceive we are on the same side and committed to the same ends," Faulkner told the American-Statesman.
Four white law school applicants sued UT in a case known as Hopwood. The U.S. Supreme Court let stand a federal appeals court ruling that prohibited race from being considered in law school admissions and threatened punitive damages if the university considered race.
Attorney General Dan Morales interpreted the ruling to include financial aid and scholarships - not just admissions - at Texas public universities, which have since have reported declines in black and Hispanic enrollment.
"Their approach, using race as a consideration in admissions, is an affirmative-action mechanism that we cannot use," said Patricia Ohlendorf, UT vice president for administration.
The 307-foot tower has been closed for more than two decades after a series of suicidal leaps. The landmark, which glows orange on special occasions such as athletic victories, became infamous as the sniper's perch for Charles Whitman, who killed 16 people and wounded 32 others in 1966.
It was closed in 1975.

Health & Parenting
Getting the Kids to School Without a Struggle
Mornings in our house used to be, for lack of a better term, hell. From the time my 7-year-old woke up until she went out the door with her backpack banging against her bottom 40 minutes later, I nagged. And nagged. There were often tears. And, judging by the parents running late and frazzled to the schoolyard, we were not alone. What seemed to me to be one big sweep of action -- getting ready for school -- was a confusing, overwhelming jumble of tasks for my daughter.
"It's really important that we understand how our kids receive information," says Victoria Kindle Hodson, MA, co-author of Respectful Parents, Respectful Kids: 7 Keys to Turn Family Conflict Into Cooperation. "If we can get on their wavelength, and start working with them, then they can start working with us."
Auditory Learners? Not
Peace returned to our morning routine the day after my husband made a spreadsheet of the 22 -- yes, 22! -- separate tasks my daughter must accomplish before she leaves for school. Brushing her hair, putting on sunscreen, eating breakfast, feeding the cats: You know the drill.
"Most young children," says Hodson, "are not auditory learners. About 20% can get their information that way, but the rest are just dangling there, wondering what you said."
Laid out in a way my daughter could see and control, the process of getting ready for school was no longer daunting and, overnight, she became responsible for her own mornings. Empowered and happy, she carefully marked off the boxes on her list. (Every child is different: My 6-year-old son couldn't care less about a checklist, but does require, before he's ready to head off to school, a morning cuddle and a bowl of oatmeal with maple syrup and milk.)
Respectful families
Try a little respect. Parents tend to think that tests of will -- head-to-head battles for control over things like when to get out of bed or what to wear -- are an unavoidable part of child raising. Not so, says Sura Hart, who teaches parenting workshops across the country and is co-author with Hodson of Respectful Parents, Respectful Kids. "Everyone wants to live in a respectful environment, and parents can create it in very small shifts."

The gradual changes in cohort composition that occur as a result of selective mortality processes are of interest to all aging research. We present the first illustration of changes in the distribution of specific cohort characteristics that arise purely as a result of selective mortality. We use data on health, wealth, education, and other covariates from two cohorts (the AHEAD cohort, born 1900–1923 and the HRS cohort, born 1931–1941) included in the Health and Retirement Survey, a nationally representative panel study of older Americans spanning nearly two decades (N = 14,466). We calculate sample statistics for the surviving cohort at each wave. Repeatedly using only baseline information for these calculations so that there are no changes at the individual level (what changes is the set of surviving respondents at each specific wave), we obtain a demonstration of the impact of mortality selection on the cohort characteristics. We find substantial changes in the distribution of all examined characteristics across the nine survey waves. For instance, the median wealth increases from about $90,000 to $130,000 and the number of chronic conditions declines from 1.5 to 1 in the AHEAD cohort. We discuss factors that influence the rate of change in various characteristics. The mortality selection process changes the composition of older cohorts considerably, such that researchers focusing on the oldest old need to be aware of the highly select groups they are observing, and interpret their conclusions accordingly.

Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure (Wii)Written by: / / No Comments
- platform: Wii
- genre: Action/Adventure
- developer: Toys for Bob
- publisher: Activision
Hands up those of you who remember the classic Spyro the Dragon character-based action adventure games on PlayStation and PlayStation 2… right, so I can't actually see you raising your hand, but I can guess that there are a fair number of people who have fond memories of the series, and I've got good news for you: Spyro is back in a brand new, awesome-looking and inventive game called Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure.
During a recent showcase presentation event held by South African game distributor Megarom, attendees were treated to a demonstration of the Wii version of Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure and we were able to glimpse the game's colourful world and characters, snippets of gameplay and witness a live demonstration of its innovative use of physical action figures in-game. More on this a little later.
Like any action adventure game starring a headline character, in Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure you take control of Spyro the Dragon, and after a personality-filled, fully voiced introduction explaining to you, the player, what your next objective is in this part of the Skylanders world (suspended in the sky with puffy white clouds surrounding the structures and 'land' you traverse), you're able to move Spyro around and breathe fire (like all good dragons can).
There are naturally enemies to flame, platforms to jump onto, levels to explore, obstacles to navigate and puzzles to solve, all while viewing the action from a roving third-person, top-down perspective.
The visuals of Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure are immediately striking, and as this demonstration was running on the Wii, immediate comparisons could be made to the graphical richness of a game like Super Mario Galaxy – the world is vibrant with colour, detail and animation. The environment is destructible (in limited ways that make sense) and although the levels follow a more linear progression path, the scenery seems very 'large-scale' as it stretches out into the distance, effectively instilling the adventure with an epic feeling.
Water flows beautifully, plants sway, particle and environment effects burst and flitter through the levels, shadows are in place and small touches are in abundance. The world of Skylanders is impressive indeed (dare I say it), especially for the Wii.
But it's not the visuals that are the star of the show in Skylanders – it's the use of the game's different characters that is most impressive. Let's back up for a second to explain properly.
Every copy of Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure will come standard with an extra peripheral called the 'Portal of Power,' as well as three action figures representing characters from the game. While playing Skylanders, you'll connect the Portal of Power to your console of choice (be it the Wii, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 or others). On its own, the Portal does nothing, but once in the game, players will be prompted to place one of the provided action figures on the Portal. Once done, something awesome happens.
Instantly (and I mean instantly), the character represented by the action figure appears in the world of Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure, right there in the game. As long as the action figure is on the Portal, you'll be able to control that character in the game and make use of its special ability, be it breathing fire, shooting a water cannon, mammoth strength, shooting coins and much more. Each character can earn special items (called 'Gifts'), learn new abilities and generally improve themselves through extended use in the game.
Each character is also able to unlock specific areas of the world, and is additionally better suited to certain situations. If you need to put out a fire, you'll need a water-based character. If you need to unlock special gates, a tech-based adventurer is necessary. If you need to smash down a wall, a stronger character will do the trick, and if you need a nimble body to effortlessly navigate through an obstacle, a character suited to that task will get you through more easily than a larger one.
And as mentioned, transferring characters is easily done – simply remove the current action figure from the Portal of Power and replace it with another that you'll need to overcome a challenge, and 'Hey Presto,' that character instantly appears in the game, ready for use!
What's even better about these action figures is that they will 'remember' your progress with that character as all items and abilities are saved to its internal memory, meaning you can take that physical action figure wherever you go, even using it in another person's game to continue playing with all of its accumulated 'knowledge.' This is handy because Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure sports cooperative and competitive gameplay allowing you to work your way through a level with a friend (with two action figures on a single Portal), or battle against one another in special player VS player scenarios.
Cross-platform transferral is another feature of the game, and you'll be able to improve your character's skills by using the same action figure while playing on different versions of Skylanders on different platforms, including PC and mobile.
Of course, if you want more than the initial allotment of three characters to use in Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure, you'll need to either buy them or trade with friends, but Activision is going to make it a little easier to collect all 32 characters by offering different packages at retail, including a three- and single character pack. Additionally, you'll be able to unlock entirely new worlds by purchasing something called the Adventure Pack – for example (not a real example), you could buy an Adventure Pack representing a pirate-themed level (a replica of a pirate boat, say), and once you place that model on the Portal of Power, that level will become available to play through.
You're right to think that Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure seems like a bit of a money-grabbing title, requiring players to buy their way through the game by collecting more action figures and level replicas to get the most out of it, but if you consider that the game is aimed at a younger market (which may or may not be fond of catching 'em all), the conceit takes on a whole new magical layer. Also, is this any different to paid downloadable content? Only this PDLC is physical!
Honestly, if I had access to a game like this when I was younger, my friends and I would be doing nothing but playing, levelling up our characters, adventuring through levels cooperatively, and trading action figures between one another…
… actually, scratch that – I'm still excited about the game! I think it's an absolutely fantastic idea and I'm extremely intrigued to find out how the market responds to Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure when it's released during the holiday season of this year.
A contender for the Pokemon crown? The best (and most worthy) one I've seen yet.
Here are a few of the other characters you'll meet during your time with Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure:

Jim Farber of the New York Daily News reviewed LINKIN PARK's new album "Meteora" and appeared unimpressed. "The group not only has failed to progress significantly, its album relies on what have became the genre's worst cliches. Each cut finds the group crooning, rapping and shouting in nearly the same order and ratio. It's as if they were following some unquestioned edict: Sing, rhyme, yell, repeat . . . For window dressing, LINKIN PARK did manage to work in a few new tricks this time. Several songs include either drum-n-bass beats, a live piano or a string section. But you know you're in trouble when your idea of a major innovation is to employ, in one track, a pan flute (paging Zamfir). There is one bit of good news in all this: The album isn't long. After just over 36 minutes, the tedium comes to an end." Read the whole review here.LINKIN PARK's "Meteora" hits the stores today (March 25) via Warner Bros. Records.

There are few well-established patient risk factors associated with human papillomavirus (HPV) infection in cancers of the oral cavity and oropharynx. The purpose of this study was to determine if there were significant different risk factors and tumor characteristics between HPV-positive and HPV-negative cancer cases. HPV was evaluated in cancer tissue and exfoliated oral cells of 193 oral cavity/oropharynx cancer patients using PCR and direct DNA sequencing. A patient questionnaire collected information about risk factors, sexual practices and medical history. The prevalence of HPV high-risk (HR) types was 20% in cancer cases. Three types were identified: HPV-16 (87%), HPV-18 (3%) and HPV-33 (11%). Risk factors for HPV-HR included younger age (≤ 55 years vs. > 55 years; adjusted OR = 3.4; 95% CI = 1.6–7.3) and younger-age cases who had more lifetime sex partners (adjusted OR = 3.8; 95% CI = 1.4–10.1), practiced oral-genital sex (adjusted OR = 4.3; 95% CI = 1.8–10.4) or oral-anal sex (adjusted OR = 19.5; 95% CI = 3.4–113). Compared to HPV-negative cancers, HPV-HR cancers were more likely to have a positive HPV-HR exfoliated oral cytology test (adjusted OR = 7.8; 95% CI = 3.4–18.4), later stage (adjusted OR = 3.0), nodal involvement (adjusted OR = 4.1) and advanced grade (adjusted OR = 3.0). This study shows new evidence that the prevalence of oncogenic mucosal HPV is higher in younger-age oral cavity/oropharynx cancer cases whose sexual practices are typically associated with sexual transmission of the virus. HPV detection also appears to be an indicator of advanced disease characteristics that may require different clinical treatment for this subset of patients. An exfoliated oral cytology test for HPV was a significant predictor of HR types in the cancers, suggesting that an oral rinse may provide an early biomarker of infected tumors. © 2003 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

Read an Excerpt
Four days later
"She was here again," Marlene Duncan said as Linc Stone strolled into the office of AA Atco Bail Bonds, Inc., a greasy sack of Memphis's best barbecue in one hand and a six-pack of bottled Coca-Cola in the other.
Linc grimaced. Though a few particularly pissedoff ex-girlfriends had been known to track him down at the office, he instinctively knew that Marlene wasn't talking about one of them. He swore under his breath.
She was talking about her.
Georgia Hart, the wedding planner from hell who was having a little trouble with the English languagerecognizing the word "no," specifically.
"What did you tell her?"
His father, evidently lured by the smell of barbecue, emerged from his office in the back and snagged a bottle of Coke, then popped the top off using the scarred edge of Marlene's desk. "Tell who what?" Martin wanted to know.
At six-foot-six, his father was a mountain of a man with a patience for fools the size of an anthill. He drove American cars, would only drink Coke out of the bottlebecause "plastic was for pussies" preferred Johnny Cash to Elvis, practically sacrilegious in their neck of the woods, and ate his steaks cooked rare. He'd never met a woman he couldn't charm, and at sixty-two, he could still arm wrestle his sons and win.
Galling, but true.
Marlene frowned at her desk, but refrained from saying anything. Despite the fact that she'd installed a bottle opener on the paneled wall next to Martin's office door, he still refused to use it. Just to annoy her, Linc imagined, smiling. Curiously, it was becoming one of his father's favorite pastimes.
"Ask your father. He's the one who eventually talked to her," Marlene told him. She doled out sandwiches and pulled a bag of gourmet chips from the filing cabinet behind her desk, which doubled as their pantry. He caught a glimpse of chocolate-mint cookies and made a mental note to help himself to a sleeve before he took off again. Cade's trail mix was in there, too, but Linc wasn't interested in that. He grimaced. Cade's "healthy" was Linc's "bird food."
Knowing that his father was a sucker for a sad case and female face, Linc inwardly winced with dread and let go a sigh. "What'd she have to say this time, Dad?"
"Same thing she's been telling you," he said gruffly, crowding onto Marlene's side of the desk. He nudged the paper aside, frowning at another political ad gracing the cover. It was that time of year again. "She just wants to tag along while you look for Carter Watkins. I don't see what the big deal is. She seems smart enough, and I know she's not pinup material, but she wouldn't point if a quail flew through the room, Son." He pulled a shrug. "What would it hurt to let her go with you?"
Marlene heaved a disgusted breath and glared exasperatedly at Martin. "You're a pig, you know that?"
Martin smiled, unrepentant. "I've been called worse."
Linc snagged the nearest chair and commandeered a corner of Marlene's desk, as well, moving her beloved picture of Bear Bryant to the side in the process. A die-hard Alabama fan, Marlene was damned hard to live with during college football season. He unwrapped his sandwich and, ignoring the quail comment, pretended to consider what his father had said.
Pretended being the operative word.
There was no way in hell he planned on letting Georgia Hart "tag along" with him.
"Why don't we let Cade take this one and she can tag along with him?" Linc suggested wearily, knowing the outcome.
Martin mopped a bit of mustard slaw from the corner of his mouth and scowled at his son. "Aw, hell, you know better than that."
Sadly, he did know better. In order to keep everything equitable between him and Cade, his father insisted on a strict case divvying system. Cade took one, Linc took the next one, Cade, Linc, Cade, Linc and so on. It didn't matter if Cade got two back-to-back high-dollar skips and Linc got stuck with two that would barely cover his utility bill. Fair was fair, according to the skewed logic of Martin Stone, and this was the feast or famine nature of the bond business. They could not trade files and, in most cases, couldn't help each other.
Or so they'd been told.
Fortunately, he and Cade were of the same mind that Martin's system wasn't fair and had privately agreed to work together on any file with a ten-grand or higher payout and split the difference. What their dad didn't know wouldn't hurt him and it sure as hell had helped them on occasion.
Linc had actually considered asking Cade to take the Carter Watkins case just so he wouldn't have to deal with Georgia Hart anymore, but it smacked too much of cowardiceof being scared of a girl, for chrissakesso he'd abandoned the idea.
Frankly, he didn't know why she managed to bother him so much. He selected a chip, finding himself reluctant to even think about her.
For whatever reason, Georgia Hart unsettled him. And that was worrisome in and of itself, because Linc Stone had never let a woman intimidate him.
Watching his father suffer after his mother had died in a car crash had given Linc all the evidence he needed to determine that marriage and love, specifically, weren't for him. He'd been twelve at the time and convinced that his father was invincible. Hell, his mother, too, for that matter. At an even five-feet tall, Lucy Stone might have been small, but she'd been a force to be reckoned with. Linc smiled, remembering. His father had always likened her to a summer stormquick to anger and quicker to forgive.
And, God, how he'd loved her.
The days following his mother's death were just a fuzzy memory of gritty-eyed grief, but his burly father draped over her rosewood coffin, sobbing as though his world had come to an end, was a picture that remained firmly etched in Linc's mind.
For months after she'd passed away, Martin merely sat and drank. Bathing became an afterthought and no doubt Martin would have starved to deathhe and Gracie includedif Cade hadn't stepped up and become the parent they'd needed. Cade had made sure their clothes were clean, their bellies full, their homework done. Cade answered the phone calls, assuring the rest of the family they were doing fine, when in reality they'd momentarily lost both parents.
Curiously, they had Memphis Power to thank for ultimately getting their dad back.
Three months after their mother had passed away, they'd come home from school to find that the utilities had been turned off. Martin, red-eyed and half-drunk, still weighting down the recliner, hadn't noticed.
For Cade, who'd been growing increasingly weary of his father's self-absorbed indifference, it had been the last damned straw. He'd exploded, much like their mother had in the past when she'd had her fill.
"You didn't just lose a wife, you selfish bastard! We lost a mother! Look at you! Look at us! We don't even have electricity and you're so out of it, you haven't even noticed. Are you going to go pay the fucking power bill, Martin, or are we dead to you, too?"
Whether it was the fact that Cade had finally snapped, called him Martin instead of Dad, used foul language or the "Are we dead to you, too?" Linc couldn't sayprobably a combination of all fourbut their father finally came around. He'd taken care of the utility bill and brought home a bucket of fried chickenfar from a nutritious meal, but it had been a start in the right direction.
Unfortunately, they'd all four learned lessons from that difficult period of time that had shaped who they were, their perceptions about life in general and how to live it. His father had eventually started dating again, but kept things completely superficial. The world as he'd known it had ended when he'd buried his wife. Though Martin eventually learned to cope, Linc knew there was a part of his father that had died along with her.
Cade had stopped calling their father "Dad" and addressed him simply as Martin. He'd been forced to abandon his own grieving in order to care for the rest of them and had appointed himself the guardian of the family, a job he took extremely seriously.
Linc had learned that love could destroy as easily as it could heal and had decided he didn't want any part of it, and Gracie, bless her heart, had learned that the Stone men didn't have a clue how to deal with raising a girl. She'd survived as best she could living in a house overrun with testosterone. The spitting image of Lucy and having inherited their mother's love of flowers, she'd opened a florist shop downtown and was engaged to be married.
Linc sighed, pleasantly full. No doubt she'd be the only Stone out of their clan tying the knot. Cade dated occasionally, but didn't appear the least bit inclined to settle down. His gaze slid to Marlene, who was currently fussing over the mess his father had made on her desk.
Martin displayed some territorial tendencies when it came to their new secretary, but Linc wasn't sure if it would go anywhere and, unless his father was serious about Marlene, he certainly hoped not. In addition to her baked goods and mother-duck tendencies, she was a crackerjack secretary, and she'd been through absolute hell recently.
After thirty years of marriage, her husband had taken off to Vegas with a local showgirl and promptly impregnated her, a blow that had been particularly tough for Marlene, who'd been unable to conceive. She'd retaliated by cleaning his plow in divorce court and taking half of his retirement. If the slimy bastard ever showed his face in Memphis again, he'd have the Stone clan to deal with.
His father, in particular, seemed entirely too taken with the idea of tearing the cheating bastard apart.
As for Linc himself, marriage simply wasn't in the cards. Even the faintest idea of being permanently attached to a woman made his belly clench with dread and his mouth parch with an emotion eerily similar to fear. It wasn't, of course, because Linc wouldn't allow himself to be afraid of anything.
Furthermore, though he didn't think he'd taken the womanizing to Martin's level, Linc nonetheless didn't form any attachments and made sure whomever he was seeing knew the score going in. He liked his women smart and confident and sexy. Smart women were good conversationalistshe'd never had any patience for stupid. Confident women weren't going to be devastated when the inevitable end came. They typically chalked it up to a good time and moved on.
And a sexy woman Linc grinned and chewed the inside of his cheek. Well, that was self-explanatory.

How many times did the phone ring? Well there were two buzzing noises. If that was the phone ringing then two. Of course, that noise may not have been the phone. If so, then none. Unless the phone was also ringing silently, then it could be up to about 4.
But honestly, who gives a shit?

Glencore (GLCNF.PK) sets Nov. 20 as the new date for delayed shareholder meetings to vote on a merger with Xstrata (XSRAF.PK, XSRAY.PK). Since Glencore cannot vote with its 34% stake in Xstrata, and taking into consideration the expected turnout, people close to the deal say that "no" votes from just 12% of Xstrata shares would be enough to kill the merger.

Adaptation to localised thermal regimes is facilitated by restricted gene flow, ultimately leading to genetic divergence among populations and differences in their physiological tolerances. Allozyme analysis of six polymorphic loci was used to assess genetic differentiation between nine populations of the reef-building coral Acropora millepora over a latitudinal temperature gradient on the inshore regions of the Great Barrier Reef (GBR). Small but significant genetic differentiation indicative of moderate levels of gene flow (pairwise F ST 0.023 to 0.077) was found between southern populations of A. millepora in cooler regions of the GBR and the warmer, central or northern GBR populations. Patterns of genetic differentiation at these putatively neutral allozyme loci broadly matched experimental variation in thermal tolerance and were consistent with local thermal regimes (warmest monthly-averages) for the A. millepora populations examined. It is therefore hypothesized that natural selection has influenced the thermal tolerance of the A. millepora populations examined and greater genetic divergence is likely to be revealed by examination of genetic markers under the direct effects of natural selection.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) - Democratic former Lt. Gov. Lucy Baxley
holds a slim lead over Republican Twinkle Andress Cavanaugh in the
race for president of the Public Service Commission.
Baxley has 50.4 percent of the vote with 98 percent of the
precincts reporting statewide. That's a lead of about 15,000 votes.
The winner will replace Republican Jim Sullivan, who retired Tuesday after 25 years on the state's utility regulatory board.

i've been down in this holding since i bought it in early 07. finally going to start lowering my cost per share. anyone else filling in with the vornado news?
I don't know about 70 being the bottom. Until the housing mess starts to clear up I think were going to see a steady slow decline in most REITs for the next year. It's really unfortunate that a good commercial reit like VNQ is being punished because of a totally unrelated housing mortgage problem. I am also afraid that we need to see T-bill rates drop before we see much interest in REITS again. I am waiting for VNQ to slide to about 65 or at least 9 months from now before I consider buying again.

Hi all
Before I get the usual round of "go rad this < link >" etc - I've done all that and none of the solutions posted work.
Situation - WP2.6.5 self hosted on a PHP5.x/SQL5.x server from US hosts.
Until late last week WP Stats was working fine (apart from the nagging need to re-login every couple of weeks, which seems to be a login time out system going back years).
There were no changes to the install or plugins in the latter half of last week or over the weekend, but, Friday or Saturday the wordpress.com login page (from Dashboard - Stats) just stopped responding. Insert user name and password, click submit, and it just refreshes back to requesting user details - no error message.
In frustration, I have tried all of the following -
- requested new wordpress.com passwords (3 times) - none fixed it
- deactivated and reactivated the plugin to force re-save of the API number - didn't help
- downloaded the plugin fresh from w.org and reinstalled after deleting the old install - didn't work
- checked the logins work at wp.COM - they do
- checked stats are still being collected at wp.com - they are (and are visible there)
- checked the problem in FF3.x and IE6.5 - exists in both
- checked 3rd party cookies are on - they are in both browsers
- checked the firewall is allowing cookies through - it is
- checked the issue on all my blogs (multiple hosts in multiple countries) - it exists on all of them
- checked the problem from other computers on the network here - it exists on all of them
- went out to an internet cafe to see if it exists there - it does
So basically, in British English idiom, I am left with the conclusion that wordpress stats is "buggered". Either that or it is a surreptitious plot to drive traffic to wp.com by forcing us to check our stats there ... hmmm?
Would that about sum it up? Or, does someone know a fix for this?

Let $A$ be a finite dimensional algebra over the field $k$ i.e.:
- $A$ is a commutative associative unital ring.
- there is a homomorphism $\varphi:k\to A$, which defines a map $k\times A\to A$ as $\alpha\cdot a:=\varphi(\alpha)a$.
- $\exists\{e_1,\ldots ,e_n\}\subset A$ such that $A=\sum_{i=1}^nk\cdot e_i$.
Am I right that:
- $A$ is a vector space, in particular $A$ has a basis and $\dim_kA\leq n$,
- any submodule of $A$ is a finite dimensional vector space?

Sliding The Tesla Model S On Ice Looks Like Fun
This winter, Tesla took the Model S to the 820-acre Automotive Enviro Testing center in Baudette, Minnesota — normally one of the coldest places in the continental United States.
This winter, Tesla took the Model S to the 820-acre Automotive Enviro Testing center in Baudette, Minnesota — normally one of the coldest places in the continental United States.
Elon Musk's Tesla Motors threw a swanky party this weekend to show off the upcoming Model S electric sedan, promising to build a version that could beat a Porsche 911 to 60 mph. But the Model S also brings this — the return of rear-facing jump seats.
Even as the Lamborghini Aventador just begins to hit the world's fenceposts, there's already a new model to top it — one that, at $4.8 million, may be the most expensive car in the world. Well, most expensive scale model car anyway. Yes, that's right, it's a one-eighth size scale model — that may end up being sold for…
Tesla Motors has dropped a crop of photos of what it's calling the Tesla Model S "Alpha," which appears to be a more production-intent version of the until-now-more-likely-vaporware-than-not electric sedan concept. It also appears to be stolen straight from either the new Jaguar XF or the Kia Optima. I guess if you…
Because there's no well that an automotive ad type won't drain to the last dram, Nissan Brazil's followup to its rump-shaking Tiida ad has dancers in kindergarten-quality ant costumes and a distinct lack of continuity.
We're not aware of the Alfa Romeo Brera ever having competed in Paris-Dakar, but if it did it would naturally be grayed out like those ash-covered cars parked downwind of Mount St. Helens.
After bringing the aluminum skeleton of its Model S sedan to the Detroit Auto Show, Tesla has released this short video of its first homegrown model rolling through the countryside, with not a power outlet in sight.
The fine folks over at Wired.com's Autopia took a tour of Tesla recently, including a close-up of the chassis of the Model S sedan. Now Tesla's posted three videos featuring the chief engineer touting the benefits of Tesla's ingenuity.
A car dealership in Gaudalajara, Mexico's found a great way to get car buyers interested in boring cars: models in tight, tight pants. The execution is so simplistic and the intentions so obvious it's actually sort of brilliant.
Tesla Motors reported a loss of $34.9 million for the third quarter, with sales down to $31.2 million from $45.5 million. Guess there's not much of a growing market for over-priced electric kit cars. How long can this keep up?
The still-imaginary Tesla Model S elevates itself on the sheer force of its ingenuity and beauty into the San Francisco offices of software firm AutoDesk for a one-year exhibition. The crane was only there for backup. [AutoDesk]
More than a year ago, Tesla began taking $5000 deposits for its Model S. There's still no car, but last week, the company sent prospective customers gift boxes. Swag soothes the savage early adopter! [TTAC]
Tesla Motors CEO Elon Musk responds to a reporter's question following the company's IPO on Tuesday. Maybe now he'll be able to afford a fashion consultant — mixing plaids and check is always a bad idea. Photo Credit: Mark Lennihan/AP
Tesla Motors released a revised filing for its IPO today with two key nuggets of information: Tesla is buying the plant for $42 million and it doesn't have a formal deal with Toyota to build a new electric vehicle yet.
Tesla will announce a deal with Toyota to build electric cars at a press conference later this afternoon. Although it's not yet clear what the specifics of the deal will entail, we can speculate all sorts of fun things. UPDATE
During our last installment of Model Hell, ParkRNDL added a photo of a beater-o-riffic 1:25 scale GM F-body in one of his comments. Obviously, talent such as this must be shared with all!
On January 1st, Autoblog/Engadget/Mahalo founder Jason Calacanis announced he'd give away one still-imaginary Tesla sedan if his newly-created Twitter account got more followers than Ashton Kutcher. He failed miserably. Also, he probably never planned to give the car away. Update!

"All Non-Fiction Lance Armstrong Books, including 'Lance
Armstrong - Images of a Champion', 'The Lance Armstrong
Performance Program and 'Lance Armstrong: World's Greatest
Champion,' will soon be moved to the fiction section," read
the sign posted at Sydney's Manly Library on Saturday.
A photograph of the sign posted on the Internet quickly
sparked heated debate over whether Armstrong's fight against
cancer and motivation of people outweighed his drug cheating
in a sport rife with doping.
"As a cyclist the guy's work was inspiring, his foundation do
amazing work and his story was great. ... You feel
embarrassed for recommending his book to people, you stare at
the books on the shelf questioning if the lessons and the
inspiration is honest and real," said one commentator.
Manly Library said the printed notice, which was placed in a
plastic stand on a bookshelf in the library, was a prank and
that an internal review was under way.
"Libraries can't arbitrarily reclassify categories of books,
because that depends on the ISBN number that is issued by the
National Library," a spokesman at Manly Council, which runs
the library, said on Monday.

For a long time now any one can get on my phpMyAdmin. I thought I had a name and password all ready set up in WordPress. But any one could still get on phpMyAdmin and do bad things to my WordPress Data base.
Is there any place that tells how to set this up? I think if I set it up then my WordPress will not work with the Data base.
This has been like this for at lest a year now. I am just lucky no one has messed with it. Some one did put in the data base this "are_you_that_Giving_anybody_root_access_is_safe" I know that but don't know how to fix it?

A very happy festival season to all of you. The festival of Diwali is traditionally a 5 day festival with the following details:
The timing of the Muhurta is specific to Bangalore, India and if you are in any other part of the world, it should be calculated accordingly. However, the rule of the thumb is that Lakshmi pooja can be done after sunset and for period of 2.5 hours. Sunset in Bangalore is at 17.50 hours. The best Vrishabha lagna muhurta is from 18.07 hours to 20.08 hours.
For the purpose of Muhurta Trading on National & Bombay Stock Exchanges, the following timings are applicable:
Muhurta Trading would be conducted between 1745 hours and 1845 hours on the Diwali day, according to NSE. "…a special live trading session shall be held on Wednesday, November 11, 2015 on account of Muhurat trading on Diwali," NSE said. Similar timings are to be followed by Bombay Stock Exchange as well.

Mars is considered a malefic, kroora planet in Vedic Astrology. The effect of Mars in a horoscope results in aggressive tendencies brought to fore and to whatever is the area of life affected by Mars – through aspect/drishti or location. As noted in the article on Mars as a planet, Mars is the senapati of the army and goes about doing his work with ruthless efficiency. Mars is not a planner, but a doer and hence indicates engineering precision rather than advisory role. Mars is also fast and hence automobiles, bullets are indicated by Mars in Vedic Astrology.
The position of Mars causes lot of debate in the horoscope. An adverse position is Manglik Dosha, which (in layman terms) is said to wreak marriages and is considered by many to be a dreaded combination where it may not be a cause of concern.
This is a very frequent question on the mind of an astrologer as to what should be the main reference of the predictions while examining a horoscope. Astrologers frequently struggle with this problem. However, as they mature, they realize the answer to the this main question is – BOTH!
Both ascendant and moon as as important to horoscope judgement as are day and night to a day and head and tails on a coin. One is incomplete without the other. Sun makes it a triad, but in this article, we will limit our discussion to Ascendant and Moon.
Before starting to judge the horoscope, it is important to understand what Ascendant & Moon stand for in the horoscope. Ascendant is the first house and stands for the general strength of the chart. It symbolizes fame, success, status in the society. On the health front, it denotes physical strength, constitution – robust or sickly, appearance, vigour and energy. Being the first house, ascendant is indicative of head and brain. On the other hand, Moon as a planet indicates mind, emotions and feeling. A person's personality type is governed by Moon in a horoscope. In a horoscope, diseases of the mind, i.e, psychological disorders are usually diagnosed by looking at Moon's position.
With the technology on the verge of taking us to Mars in just a matter of decades, there is a distinct possibility that there can be children born on another planet. A equal possibility is a moon base where human being could settle in near future. This will blow all astrology out of the window as far as horoscopes and birth charts are concerned.
The way to construct the horoscope would not change at all. If we move from Earth to Moon or Mars, the nakshatras and others signs in the zodiac will not change much since the distance from Earth to these planets is much much less than compared to the distance to the stars in the Zodiac.
The swearing in chart of J. Jayalalithaa as Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu is presented here. The ceremony was conducted in Madras University auditorium on 23rd May 2015 at 11.08 AM. According to popular belief, Jayalalithaa is understood to be a very keen follower of Astrology and does not even step outside of her house without consulting an astrologer. Today too, the ceremony was carefully orchestrated and she did not leave home before Rahu Kalam was over. The time is ascertained as per this TV grab. The choice of the time is also very much vetted by an astrologer. The two other high profile swearing ins – Mr. Kejariwal in Delhi & Mr. Sayeed in Srinagar were Vrishabha Lagna, but like Mr. Nitish Kumar in Patna, Jayalalithaa's astrologers chose a Cancer Lagna swearing in, with Jupiter exactly coinciding with Ascendant degrees.
This article describes how to use natural properties of planets in interpreting a horoscope and making predictions. Each of the planets in Vedic Astrology is described as having certain set of properties as described in these pages in detail.
Sun is regal planet that denotes authority and represents government. Moon is emotional by itself and is mindful of others' emotions. Jupiter is worldly wise. Venus is classy, while Mars is aggressive. Mercury is a great communicator and represents fast thinking. Rahu is secretive and duplicitous and Ketu is chaotic. Saturn is a strict disciplinarian. These set of qualities must be kept in mind when interpreting a horoscope, even when looking at similar placements.
The elections for the state of Jammu & Kashmir in India were held from November 25, 2014 to December 20, 2014. This was a very peaceful and successful election which saw the populace of J&K come out in large numbers and embrace democracy. The overall voter turnout was 65.23%, which is absolutely unprecedented. Even the area of Kashmir valley, which is indifferent and aloof to the democratic process due to insurgency saw a turnout of almost 59%.
The aspirations of the people were put of hold for a little while because no party got absolute majority. The state was put under the central administration subsequently.
Shri Nitish Kumar was sworn in as Chief Minister of Bihar for the fourth time on 22-Feb-2015 at 17:00 PM in Patna, Bihar. This was necessitated by his party-mate Shri Jitan Manjhi resigning from the post. The source of the time of swearing in is this Twitter photo from ANI news. Continue reading
Arvind Kejriwal was sworn in as Chief Minister of Delhi state on 14th February 2015 at 12.15 PM in New Delhi (source: TV grabs, news articles and this link from Times of India). He became the Chief Minister for the second time after the state of Delhi gave his Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) an unprecedented mandate of 67 out of 70 seats in Delhi assembly. The principal opposition party BJP was washed away in a tsunami of public opinion. Although BJP got a reasonable vote share compared to their previous performances, the washout meant that they got just 3 seats out of 70. It was a major setback for the government at the center, who was used to winning elections as a matter of clockwork. However, the magic didn't work in Delhi.
Shri Raghuvar Das or Bhartiya Janata Party took oath of office as the new chief minister of Jharkhand on 28th December 2014 in ceremony that was held in the state capital of Ranchi. The details of the ceremony to create a kundali/horoscope are as follows. The source of this is television news stories and screen grabs. The time seems to be chosen carefully by astrologers and is very clear by the yogas that are there in the chart.
Date: 28th December 2014
Time: 11:20 AM, Time zone: 5:30 East of GMT
Place: Ranchi, Jharkhand, India (23°19' North, 85°17' East)
Panchanga of the day shows Sunday – governed by Sun, denoting royalty, government. tithi was Saptami, Nakshatra was Uttara Bhadra, Yoga was Variyan and Karana was Vanij. Once again, it proves that time was carefully chosen as Karana would change in another hour. Panchanga for the event does not show any dosha.

Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.

I recommend taking this supplement in the morning, it can hinder sleep as it is so awakening. Which is what the b's do!
This B complex has just the right amount for each of the vital B vitamins. Those 50 or 100 is way too much for what the body needs. It is a waste of money. This is just the right type of B complex and it is so inexpensive. Highly recommend. iHerb is always great in its service and its website is so user friendly.

Sundown was a new brand for me to explore, I am a supplement user and advocate for the past 5 years or so :) yet I feel that this product has helped me with my energy levels, I am currently taking 2 tbs per day at night, much less numbness.

I guess it helps to take B -complex. I bought this brand, because it was very reasonably priced, and had good reviews. Afterwards, I did compare other brands which were expensive and realized that B-complex that are not chemically synthesized are more expensive. I am going to finish this bottle but will look for B-complex which is derived from food.
