A new, simple, technique is demonstrated to laterally access the cladding holes of solid-core photonic crystal fibers (PCFs) or the central hole of hollow-core PCFs by blowing a hole through the fiber wall (using a fusion splicer and the application of pressure). For both fiber types material was subsequently and successfully inserted into the holes. The proposed method compares favorably with other reported selective filling techniques in terms of simplicity and reproducibility. Also, since the holes are laterally filled, simultaneous optical access to the PCFs is possible, which can prove useful for practical sensing applications. As a proof-of-concept experiment, Rhodamine fluorescence measurements are shown.

vCloud Air
Did you know vCloud Air currently supports over 5,000 applications and over 90 operating system?
To design a vCloud Air solution follow these simple steps:
First, draw out your environment and determine resource requirements per virtual machine.
For example:
- How many VMs?
- What is the operating system on each VM (linux, windows 2012, etc).
- What is running in each VM (Network Security Appliance, Replication Appliance, Sharepoint, SQL, Active Directory, file server, etc).
- How many vCPUs are needed per VM?
- How much vRAM is needed per VM?
- How much Storage is needed per VM?
- How many IOPS are needed across all VMs?
- Standard Storage: 200 IOPS Average
- SSD Storage: 500 IOPS Average
- Is your standard network bandwidth reliable, safe and fast enough to support the link between onsite or co-located data center and your vCloud Air environment?
Second, use the Pricing Calculator to help price out your custom solution:
Third, you will need to determine your Microsoft licensing costs.
Although Microsoft authorizes customers with Volume License Agreements and Software Assurance to move most server-based applications to vCloud Air, Windows Server 2012 and Windows Server 2008 are currently not eligible for License Mobility. Your licensing options for Windows Server will depend on what type of vCloud Air configuration you select.
With vCloud Air Virtual Private Cloud Microsoft requires all customers on multi-tenant public cloud environments such as vCloud Air Virtual Private Cloud to purchase Windows Server licenses from the cloud service provider (eg VMware). If you import a Virtual Machine or vApp into vCloud Air, VMware will automatically detect the presence of Windows Server and will bill you the standard rate for running Windows Server on vCloud Hybrid Service, in compliance with the VMware Microsoft Service Provider License Agreement (SPLA). If you host your workloads on vCloud Air Virtual Private Cloud, you will authenticate your Windows Server instances against VMware's Key Management Server; this enables you to re-purpose the license keys of the instances you imported for other on-premise workloads.
With vCloud Air Dedicated Cloud you're provided with a single-tenant private cloud with physically isolated compute, a dedicated cloud management stack, and logically isolated networking and storage, so it can be considered a dedicated server from a licensing perspective. Microsoft allows customers to move a Windows Server license to a dedicated server (See: Product Use Rights – Outsourcing Software Management). You may also purchase your Windows Server Licenses through the catalog for vCloud Air on a subscription basis.
Reference: Bring_Your_Own_Microsoft_License_Whitepaper
Fourth, understand all Service Level Agreements for VMware vCloud Air (SLA)
So what does a 99.95% Availability SLA actually equate to?
Well "Availability" = ((total minutes in a calendar month – total minutes unavailable) / total minutes in a calendar month) x 100
So for example there are 1440 Minutes in a day or on average 43200 minutes per month.
In our example lets accept only 1 minute unavailable per day or an average of 30 minutes per month.
– 43200-30 = 43,170
– 43,170/43,200 = .9993
– .9993 x 100 = 99.93%

To earn a higher salary, compare accredited engineering concentrations, and research technical certificate programs in your chosen field. Concentrating on UW Milwaukee mining engineering, for example, you may gain an advantage in job recruiting on-campus. Check with the mining technology department for course registration deadlines, and mineral engineering program requirements. Please use the form above to request admissions info for UW Milwaukee.
Mining techniques have dramatically transformed over many years, with technological advances improving efficiency and safety. In the discovery stage of mineral exploration, mining engineers work closely with geologists to identify minerals and assess reserve quantities. Mineral engineers may then drill core samples and conduct surface surveys, searching for specific compounds and ores. Unless the mineral exploration is done on public lands, the property owners may play a significant role in mining exploration.
Generally, mining is either done from the surface or underground. Surface mining requires the stripping of surface vegetation, dirt, and if necessary, layers of bedrock in order to reach buried ore deposits. Additionally, explosives may be called for in order to facilitate breakage. Hard minerals such as limestone, sand, gravel, and slate are generally quarried into a series of benches. Strip mining, on the other hand, is more appropriate for softer minerals such as clays and phosphate. In-situ mining can be done from the surface using dissolving agents, retrieving the ore via pumps. Finally, hydraulic jets may be utilized to wash away the overburden or to clear out the ore itself. Beyond major requirements within the mining technology department, you may consider Maryville University chemistry seminars as an adjunct to your primary course of study.

Sadie Robertson is killing it on the dance floor with her partner Mark Ballas as they take the stage week after week on everyone's favorite dancing competition Dancing with the Stars.
This past week, Sadie, the daughter of Duck Dynasty's CEO Willie Robertson, and Mark performed a sexy country jazz routine that made judge Carrie Ann Inaba wonder what her conservative family thought of her short dress and risqué moves. Sadie revealed that her dad approves all of her dancing costumes and even her great grandmother approved of the dance moves.
Access Hollywood's Shaun Robinson stopped Sadie after the show to ask her more about her family's opinion of her dancing on the show.
"Honestly, my mom and my grandma and even my great grandma were in our practices and watched it, and if anything would've been bad I'm pretty sure my great grandma would have said something," she said. "If grandma and great grandma like it then that means my dad's gonna like it."
THANK YOU SO MUCH everyone who voted in the quack pack. Mark and I really appreciate it. We are loving it. @MarkBallas #thequackpack
— Sadie Robertson (@sadierob) September 24, 2014
"Yeah, grandma came and she was like, 'I like it,'" Mark added.
Sadie, a junior in high school who opted to be homeschooled this year so she could be on the show, has never been to a school dance or had any other professional dance lessons. Her former school did not hold school dances and instead hosted junior and senior banquets. Sadie said that it was different dancing in front of so many people, but she was excited to take on the challenge.

— Sadie Robertson (@sadierob) September 24, 2014
"I mean, it's nothing really weird for me – that's how I've grown up," she said. "We just don't go to dances and stuff, so it's different to come out here and dance in front of 15 million people and I've never danced in front of anyone before."
Incase y'all missed @sadierob and I last night.. Here ya go http://t.co/d9StECa6Em #DWTS
— Mark Ballas (@MarkBallas) September 23, 2014
"But then again, it's made this whole experience fun, something new to take on," she added. "I mean, I'm loving it."

Camping with ROG
'Druid' probably means 'Knower of Trees', or what we might call a 'Nature Lover'. We at Red Oak Grove prefer celebrating our High Days as close to nature as possible, where we can be surrounded by plants, animals, and trees. From May through October we camp in the State Forests of New Jersey. Most people sleep in tents, but a few sleep in their cars. While attendance of our rituals doesn't require camping with us, we think you may enjoy it. If you think so too, but aren't a seasoned camper, have a look at our suggested gear:

A novel look at mental disorders
Two scientists, drawing on their own powers of observation and a creative reading of recent genetic findings, have published a sweeping theory of brain development that would change the way mental disorders like autism and schizophrenia are understood.h/t NYCO at Marisacat's place.
The theory emerged in part from thinking about events other than mutations that can change gene behavior. And it suggests entirely new avenues of research, which, even if they prove the theory to be flawed, are likely to provide new insights into the biology of mental disease.
At a time when the search for the genetic glitches behind brain disorders has become mired in uncertain and complex findings, the new idea provides psychiatry with perhaps its grandest working theory since Freud, and one that is grounded in work at the forefront of science. The two researchers — Bernard Crespi, a biologist at Simon Fraser University in Canada, and Christopher Badcock, a sociologist at the London School of Economics, who are both outsiders to the field of behavior genetics — have spelled out their theory in a series of recent journal articles.
Their idea is, in broad outline, straightforward. Dr. Crespi and Dr. Badcock propose that an evolutionary tug of war between genes from the father's sperm and the mother's egg can, in effect, tip brain development in one of two ways. A strong bias toward the father pushes a developing brain along the autistic spectrum, toward a fascination with objects, patterns, mechanical systems, at the expense of social development. A bias toward the mother moves the growing brain along what the researchers call the psychotic spectrum, toward hypersensitivity to mood, their own and others'. This, according to the theory, increases a child's risk of developing schizophrenia later on, as well as mood problems like bipolar disorder and depression.
In short: autism and schizophrenia represent opposite ends of a spectrum that includes most, if not all, psychiatric and developmental brain disorders. The theory has no use for psychiatry's many separate categories for disorders, and it would give genetic findings an entirely new dimension.
"The empirical implications are absolutely huge," Dr. Crespi said in a phone interview. "If you get a gene linked to autism, for instance, you'd want to look at that same gene for schizophrenia; if it's a social brain gene, then it would be expected to have opposite effects on these disorders, whether gene expression was turned up or turned down."
The theory leans heavily on the work of David Haig of Harvard. It was Dr. Haig who argued in the 1990s that pregnancy was in part a biological struggle for resources between the mother and unborn child. On one side, natural selection should favor mothers who limit the nutritional costs of pregnancy and have more offspring; on the other, it should also favor fathers whose offspring maximize the nutrients they receive during gestation, setting up a direct conflict.
The evidence that this struggle is being waged at the level of individual genes is accumulating, if mostly circumstantial. For example, the fetus inherits from both parents a gene called IGF2, which promotes growth. But too much growth taxes the mother, and in normal development her IGF2 gene is chemically marked, or "imprinted," and biologically silenced. If her gene is active, it causes a disorder of overgrowth, in which the fetus's birth weight swells, on average, to 50 percent above normal.
Biologists call this gene imprinting an epigenetic, or "on-genetic," effect, meaning that it changes the behavior of the gene without altering its chemical composition. It is not a matter of turning a gene on or off, which cells do in the course of normal development. Instead it is a matter of muffling a gene, for instance, with a chemical marker that makes it hard for the cell to read the genetic code; or altering the shape of the DNA molecule, or what happens to the proteins it produces. To illustrate how such genetic reshaping can give rise to behavioral opposites — the yin and yang that their theory proposes — Dr. Crespi and Dr. Badcock point to a remarkable group of children who are just that: opposites, as different temperamentally as Snoopy and Charlie Brown, as a lively Gaugin and a brooding Goya.
Those with the genetic disorder called Angelman, or "happy puppet," syndrome practically dance through the day, have difficulty communicating and are demanding of caregivers. Those born with a genetic problem known as Prader-Willi syndrome are placid, compliant and as youngsters low maintenance.
Yet these two disorders, which turn up in about one of 10,000 newborns, stem from disruptions of the same genetic region on chromosome 15. If the father's genes dominate in this location, the child develops Angelman syndrome; if the mother's do, the result is Prader-Willi syndrome, as Dr. Haig and others have noted. The former is associated with autism, and the latter with mood problems and psychosis — just as the new theory predicts.
Emotional problems like depression, anxiety and bipolar disorder, seen through this lens, appear on Mom's side of the teeter-totter, with schizophrenia, while Asperger's syndrome and other social deficits are on Dad's.
It was Dr. Badcock who noticed that some problems associated with autism, like a failure to meet another's gaze, are direct contrasts to those found in people with schizophrenia, who often believe they are being watched. Where children with autism appear blind to others' thinking and intentions, people with schizophrenia see intention and meaning everywhere, in their delusions. The idea expands on the "extreme male brain" theory of autism proposed by Dr. Simon Baron-Cohen of Cambridge.
"Think of the grandiosity in schizophrenia, how some people think that they are Jesus, or Napoleon, or omnipotent," Dr. Crespi said, "and then contrast this with the underdeveloped sense of self in autism. Autistic kids often talk about themselves in the third person."
A follow-up to "Interesting Electoral Maps
One thing that jumps out is the coastal areas of Louisiana and Mississippi, which experienced a massive ethnic cleansing in the wake of the 2005 hurricane season. Not surprisingly, those areas went substantially more "red". We might also note how much more "red" parts of the Southeast US became, including northeast Texas, eastern Oklahoma, Arkansas, Tennessee, northeast Mississippi, northern Alabama, the Florida panhandle, southern West Virginia, and eastern Kentucky became. These areas are largely rural, mountainous (Appalachian and Ozark regions) parts of the old Confederacy - with the exception of Oklahoma, whose eastern portions are culturally very similar to the South.Well, here's another NYT article that seems to add some more to the discussion - For South, a Waning Hold on National Politics:
Did race play a role in the results in the southeastern regions that reddened? I wouldn't be surprised, given what I know about a few of these areas (in particular, northeastern Texas and eastern Oklahoma). I'm reasonably sure that McCain and Palin were banking on the Southern Strategy. If nothing else, some the rhetoric of that particular campaign and its surrogates fanned a few flames. The culture warriors are making their last stand in this region.
I'm sure that one thing that will come out of the electoral fallout is the question about whether the GOP is still a national party, or if it is increasingly a regional party whose base is to be found in the Ozarks and Appalachian Mountains.
VERNON, Ala. — Fear of the politician with the unusual name and look did not end with last Tuesday's vote in this rural red swatch where buck heads and rifles hang on the wall. This corner of the Deep South still resonates with negative feelings about the race of President-elect Barack Obama.One thing that immediately jumped out was the apparent outright belief in the various urban legends that had been spread regarding the Obamas. I've written about the willful ignorance and eliminationist rhetoric (and action) that has been on display often enough that it need not be repeated in depth at this point. Much of the above article seems to be confirming my hunch at this point that the Ozark and Appalachian region will be the last stand for the right-wing cultural warriors. Much of what seems to be driving these folks is fear, largely unfounded, but treated as real by those caught up in it. The contention that voting for Obama or at bare minimum not voting for McCain (as some of us in the election boycott camp would say) is somehow tantamount to earning a one-way ticket to Hell seems to have been a theme pounded into a good number of church congregations in the region and perhaps elsewhere in the US (even in my region, it appears that plenty of folks got the message at recent church sermons that Obama was the Antichrist among other bits of misinformation). In many ways, I'm relieved at the prospect of less Southern influence on the nation's political culture.
What may have ended on Election Day, though, is the centrality of the South to national politics. By voting so emphatically for Senator John McCain over Mr. Obama — supporting him in some areas in even greater numbers than they did President Bush — voters from Texas to South Carolina and Kentucky may have marginalized their region for some time to come, political experts say.
The region's absence from Mr. Obama's winning formula means it "is becoming distinctly less important," said Wayne Parent, a political scientist at Louisiana State University. "The South has moved from being the center of the political universe to being an outside player in presidential politics."
One reason for that is that the South is no longer a solid voting bloc. Along the Atlantic Coast, parts of the "suburban South," notably Virginia and North Carolina, made history last week in breaking from their Confederate past and supporting Mr. Obama. Those states have experienced an influx of better educated and more prosperous voters in recent years, pointing them in a different political direction than states farther west, like Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana and Mississippi, and Appalachian sections of Kentucky and Tennessee.
Southern counties that voted more heavily Republican this year than in 2004 tended to be poorer, less educated and whiter, a statistical analysis by The New York Times shows. Mr. Obama won in only 44 counties in the Appalachian belt, a stretch of 410 counties that runs from New York to Mississippi. Many of those counties, rural and isolated, have been less exposed to the diversity, educational achievement and economic progress experienced by more prosperous areas.
The increased turnout in the South's so-called Black Belt, or old plantation-country counties, was visible in the results, but it generally could not make up for the solid white support for Mr. McCain. Alabama, for example, experienced a heavy black turnout and voted slightly more Democratic than in 2004, but the state over all gave 60 percent of its vote to Mr. McCain. (Arkansas, however, doubled the margin of victory it gave to the Republican over 2004.)
Less than a third of Southern whites voted for Mr. Obama, compared with 43 percent of whites nationally. By leaving the mainstream so decisively, the Deep South and Appalachia will no longer be able to dictate that winning Democrats have Southern accents or adhere to conservative policies on issues like welfare and tax policy, experts say.
That could spell the end of the so-called Southern strategy, the doctrine that took shape under President Richard M. Nixon in which national elections were won by co-opting Southern whites on racial issues. And the Southernization of American politics — which reached its apogee in the 1990s when many Congressional leaders and President Bill Clinton were from the South — appears to have ended.
"I think that's absolutely over," said Thomas Schaller, a political scientist who argued prophetically that the Democrats could win national elections without the South.
The Republicans, meanwhile, have "become a Southernized party," said Mr. Schaller, who teaches at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County. "They have completely marginalized themselves to a mostly regional party," he said, pointing out that nearly half of the current Republican House delegation is now Southern.
Merle Black, an expert on the region's politics at Emory University in Atlanta, said the Republican Party went too far in appealing to the South, alienating voters elsewhere.
"They've maxed out on the South," he said, which has "limited their appeal in the rest of the country."
In Arkansas, which had among the nation's largest concentration of counties increasing their support for the Republican candidate over the 2004 vote, "there's a clear indication that racial conservatism was a component of that shift away from the Democrat," said Jay Barth, a political scientist in the state.
Race was a strong subtext in post-election conversations across the socioeconomic spectrum here in Vernon, the small, struggling seat of Lamar County on the Mississippi border.
One white woman said she feared that blacks would now become more "aggressive," while another volunteered that she was bothered by the idea of a black man "over me" in the White House.
Mr. McCain won 76 percent of the county's vote, about five percentage points more than Mr. Bush did, because "a lot more people came out, hoping to keep Obama out," Joey Franks, a construction worker, said in the parking lot of the Shop and Save.
Mr. Franks, who voted for Mr. McCain, said he believed that "over 50 percent voted against Obama for racial reasons," adding that in his own case race mattered "a little bit. That's in my mind."
Many people made it clear that they were deeply apprehensive about Mr. Obama, though some said they were hoping for the best.
"I think any time you have someone elected president of the United States with a Muslim name, whether they are white or black, there are some very unsettling things," George W. Newman, a director at a local bank and the former owner of a trucking business, said over lunch at Yellow Creek Fish and Steak.
Don Dollar, the administrative assistant at City Hall, said bitterly that anyone not upset with Mr. Obama's victory should seek religious forgiveness.
"This is a community that's supposed to be filled with a bunch of Christian folks," he said. "If they're not disappointed, they need to be at the altar."
Customers of Bill Pennington, a barber whose downtown shop is decorated with hunting and fishing trophies, were "scared because they heard he had a Muslim background," Mr. Pennington said over the country music on the radio. "Over and over again I heard that."
Mr. Obama remains an unknown quantity in this corner of the South, and there are deep worries about the changes he will bring.
"I am concerned," Gail McDaniel, who owns a cosmetics business, said in the parking lot of the Shop and Save. "The abortion thing bothers me. Same-sex marriage."
"I think there are going to be outbreaks from blacks," she added. "From where I'm from, this is going to give them the right to be more aggressive."

Not quite
1. When it comes to the US' ruling political parties, their philosophies and policies, when viewed in a more global context, a good case can be made that indeed the Dems and Repubs are easily center-right (in the GOP case, a goodly number of its political players are arguably far-right). In that context, Obama ran what in much of the rest of the world would get labeled center-right. Oddly enough, until November 5th, Obama was characterized by many conservative pundits as a radical leftist - but that can be chalked up to the extremely quirky perspective adopted by the ruling elites and their various pundits.
2. However, when one looks at opinions of Americans on a variety of issues, from economics to cultural, there is a considerable disconnect between the ruling class and the rest of us. Let's just say that once one gets away from the Ozarks and Appalachians (where a center-right perspective probably is viewed as communist), much of the American populace is center-left. What that disconnect tells us about the state of the nation is certainly a story worth telling. I have my own hunches (hint: the term "failing state" should spring to mind).

Neoliberalism with a happy face
Lots of people screaming outside may strengthen the people who apparently oppose him inside:For the elite establishment types, folks like Summers should be staunchly defended. Not to worry, we'll keep neoliberalism at home as well.Barack Obama has been close to naming Larry Summers as the next Secretary of the Treasury, but the appointment is being held up by opposition to the brilliant but controversial economist...
The discrepancy here suggests that behind the scenes, there is a powerful argument going on as to who is best for this job. Summers is brash and blunt, and he has quite a few detractors.
Meanwhile, Dean Baker describes Summers' contribution to our current catastrophe, and asks:Given this record of failure, the question is how can Larry Summers still be considered for the top economic position in the Obama administration? This would be like appointing the arsonist who burned down the city as the new fire commissioner. We like to tell our children that success is rewarded and that failure is punished. But if Larry Summers ends up as Treasury secretary, what are we supposed to tell the children?
Finally, here's another reason to dislike Larry Summers. This one is only for connoisseurs.
In 2000, when Summers was Treasury Secretary, he made a very specific claim: that from 1980-2000, developing countries had "moved to the market and seen rapid growth in income."
The problem is this simply wasn't true. The countries that had most "moved to the market" had had far worse income growth from 1980-2000 compared to 1960-1980. Soon afterward Summers was asked about this at a think tank event, and he used all his brilliance to tap dance around for five minutes without answering the question.
The relevant excerpt is below, and the entire transcript of the exchange is here.Q: My question has two parts. First of all, I want to--in the New York Times you were quoted as saying, "When history books are written 200 years from now, the last two decades of the 20th century, I am convinced that the end of the Cold War will be the second story. The first story will be about the appearance of emerging markets and about the fact that developing countries, where more than 3 billion live, have moved to the market and seen rapid growth in income."
First, were you quoted correctly? And if so, what exactly did you mean by this?
According to the World Bank, Latin America grew between 1960 and '80--it grew 73 percent before the Washington Consensus. After 1980, during the period that you say it saw rapid growth, it was 5.6 percent.
Moreover, in Africa, per capita income grew at 34.3 percent from '60 to '80. Since '80, per capita income in Africa has fallen by 23 percent.
Some emerging markets, such as China and South Korea, have grown rapidly over the past 20 years, but then they did this in the previous 20 years as well and in the case have largely disregarded the Washington Consensus. Could you reconcile these statistics?
Sec. Summers: Thank you for your question. I was quoted correctly, and we'll only know 200 years from know whether I was exactly right in what I said about the history books 200 years from now.
But I think it's important for us all to recognize as we think about the global development effort, and as we think about the events of the past few days, that with all of the problems, with all of the disappointments, with all of the things that can be improved--and I'll say something about them in a moment, and I am choosing my words carefully now--the last two decades have seen more progress in improving the human condition globally than any two-decade period in human history. That that is there in the most concrete manifestations of the things that are most important to people: the fraction of their children who die before the age of five, the fraction of their children who learn to read, the fraction of children who lose their mother due to dread disease, the fraction of young girls around the world who are forced into child prostitution. The societies have been transformed in ways that people thought almost inconceivable two decades ago.
This room was, in the late 1970s, the site of more than one discussion of the--what was seen by many of those who participated--as the near-certainty of mass famine throughout Asia and the developing world during the 1990s. That did not happen. That progress is a reflection of many, many things; surely, the most important is the success of the countries themselves in pursuing economic policies that liberated the economic energy of their people and allowed growth to take place, but it is also a success of the movements towards greater global integration that have taken place during this period and it is a success of the global institutions that have been a part of all of that.
Does growth in developing countries need to be more equitable, more human-centered, more focused on health and education? Absolutely, it does. Do the institutions need to be much more transparent and accountable? Absolutely, they do. Do their programs need to be more sensitive to the people who live in villages and involve greater degrees of popular participation? Absolutely.
But let us all remember that there has been no substantial success in raising people's incomes and living standards without contact and resources from the rest of the world and that that is something that requires revenues from exports or foreign investment, or international foreign assistance, and that, if we are going to have progress, we have to find a way to have those things and to make it work for people. I hope I have addressed the concerns that were reflected in your question.
—Jonathan Schwarz
Obviously, I just never got caught up in the "movement." Yes, I understood, and to a degree could empathize with, the notion that a rational manager of empire might be preferable to one who's likely to continue the Junior Caligula approach to foreign and economic affairs at home and abroad, with plenty of cultural warmonger to keep those of us who are different in "our place". I can even take some comfort in knowing that the base of the GOP is continuing to shrink and that at least the millennial generation seems to have avoided the movement conservative kool-aid, and to even have some notion of where much of the aforementioned GOP base is located (if for no other reason than to know to avoid some of these places like the plague). If I have any hope at all, it is merely that those who got caught up in the movement stay active when the Obama regime turns out to be a repeat of the DLC nonsense that dominated the Clinton years.

Industries, the creators of that legendary diet pill that literally melts off the pounds as you sleep. BAD idea. I have learned that alien tech is best left in the hand of professionals.
For well over a month I have been
engaged in a battle of my mind against my body. Do I need to exercise? YES. Do I want to? NO. I don't seem to be able to follow through when I make big plans, so I must start small. Back to one day at a time.
I did a small workout today, not what I wanted but at least I kept it moving. Tomorrow will be better, especially when it becomes today.

With Madhuri Dixit's comeback film Aaja Nachle, just a few days away from release, here comes yet another interesting piece of news about the film.
One of Madhuri's die-hard fans and popular Indian artist M.F.Husain, who is currently in the UAE, has apparently booked an entire show of Aaja Nachle for this Thursday, a day prior to its Indian release.
The famous painter who watched Madhuri's Hum Aapke Hain Kaun a record number of times and also made a film with her called Gaja Gamini can't wait to see his favorite actress back on the silver screen.
Around 194 seats have been reserved for the 2 pm show at UAE's Lamcy cinema for special guests from all walks of life. Apart from this, Husain also added that the tickets would also have his autograph and a sketch of the Bollywood diva. In addition, he would also be exhibiting paintings of Madhuri in the foyer of the theatre.
One thing is certain Mr. Husain is still completely 'fida' over Madhuri.

The most overwhelming aspect of Destiny for me, as someone who jumped in just before House of Wolves released, was the multitude of currencies, resources, and progress bars. Experience and Glimmer, that's easy to understand. And then there's Light, ok, I get that. But Strange Coins, Ascendant Shards, Motes of Light, Relic Iron –what is all this shit? And how the hell did they get so tangled?
Bungie once described Destiny as an ominvore's game. This is true not only in terms of the sort of person one would need to be to want to sample all the game has to offer, but it's also true because the different currencies and resources that you may want for one mode have to be farmed from another mode. In short, to progress in pretty much any one thing in Destiny, one will have to at least dabble in other modes. You HAVE to be an omnivore.
This is was probably born of necessity at first. The expansions, thankfully, have ironed out some kinks and filled in the gaps, but vanilla Destiny was a sparse game. It was a wasteland that offered little incentive to keep running on the hamster wheel –until you realize you can't get much further until you run on another wheel. And then another. And then another.
It's easy to disparage Bungie for interconnecting its thin modes to stretch player interest, but really, it was kind of smart. I played the beta and passed on the retail game for quite a while because I couldn't see myself investing the kind of time necessary to run on all these different wheels for all these different pieces of cheese. But after finally buying the game, I am doing just that. I'm running on all the wheels. I'm buying all the expansions. And I'm liking it.
A friend recently bought the game so we could play together and I've only just got a grasp on these concepts myself, but teaching him all this stuff makes it seem ridiculous. "Run a few repetitive Strikes or Prison of Elders to get Strange Coins (not Glimmer) so you can buy an Exotic weapon from Xur on the weekend so you have a better chance in the Iron Banner, a monthly Crucible event. Be sure to take some Bounties before you play. Oh, and don't get too attached to any of this because Bungie might just change how every meaningful thing works next expansion!"
I wonder what the psychology behind this is; why juggling a few different things for interconnected rewards somehow feels more enjoyable than just pursuing one reward? It's not as if the modes are all THAT different from one and other. Maybe because it's cathartic to construct a sequential list of playable chores for the chance to get some new boots. I don't know. I'm well aware Destiny has its hooks in me, but I'm not really sure how or why.
I do know that I am genuinely looking forward to The Taken King next month. I can't wait to run on all those wheels.

GRANDMAS PURSE and some news You'll probably see me in this position a lot in summer, since I am staying at my parents house over the summer months and definitely love our garden and swimming pool area :-) So I guess we'll shoot more outfits there, since it's my favorite place at home. Last weekend was pretty warm and it really felt like summer is finally here, so I took out this lovely coral colored dress, combined it simple with my coral shoes and a lovely little purse by my grandma. I totally fell in love with it when I saw it for the first time. This little thing adds glamour to every outfit. Imagine this purse with a black dress - I guess you all know what I mean :-)
Anyway, at the moment I am kind of stressed; First thing to tell you, I did get an internship at Stylight in Munich, SO excited to work there for six whole months :-) :-) but at the moment there's a lot of college stuff, I am again sewing a coat for myself (hope to finish it by tomorrow), then we have to move out of our apartment in lovely Vienna - I have to find another one in Munich until September (if anyone of you lovely readers of tiny lackofcolor blog is from Munich - please let me know ;) ) BUT this weekend the boy and I will be relaxing in Prague and I am so looking forward to this. I've never been there before and I really feel that I need some rest - maybe because I am still a bit sick so this weekend might be the perfect opportunity!

2017 Chevrolet Impala Coupe and SS
Besides many refurbished models, General Motors will refresh the car 2017 Chevrolet Impala. Will certainly attract the attention with stylish look.
2017 Chevrolet Impala Exterior Changes and Specs
As before, distinctive design expands the entire external appearance. Attention is drawn to an attractive exterior, which has been improved compared to the previous model. Minor tweaking will definitely affect the sales. In a way back to the roots. It will probably be based on a stretched platform that will be shared with model Buick or Cadillac. It promises a more comfortable ride and better cornering behavior. Dimensions should remain quite similar, but the weight is likely to be reduced. This will happen by using lighter materials and better. The design was partly inspired by the European school. Wheels will also be redesigned in the size of 18 inches. But at the request of the buyer can get from 19 and 20 inches. The front grille is made of chrome parts. Bumper is massive with the built-in air circulation and LED fog lights. Chevrolet Impala should be produced with two or four doors. This will be the models LS, LT and LTZ. The vehicle is equally attractive, with LED lights and dual exhaust system. The line of vehicle is phenomenal with excellent aerodynamics.
2017 Chevrolet Impala Interior Changes and Equipment
The interior is much improved. Represented are high quality materials, leather seats with excellent ergonomics and electronic settings. Dominating the multifunctional center console with built-in LCD monitor with touch panel. There is a very high-quality Bose audio device with all the necessary functions, USB port, Bluetooth connectivity and thus voice commands. Hands-free calling is an inevitable part of the equipment. It means a lot to the driver, because it carries no trouble phoning while driving, but that does not endanger the traffic and passengers.
Functional steering wheel is perfectly positioned with integrated buttons for management. Schedule feature is pretty good, but the management is easy. The design is modern with a pleasant LED lighting. Chevrolet Impala is especially interesting for family people, and have enhanced security features. The company expects maximum marks on tests of safety. There will be plenty of airbags, traction control, stability control, ABS, pedestrian detection, collision warning, information about road conditions, automatic headlights, navigation, camera etc.

The company promises greater energy with the new generation of this model.
Release Date and Price for 2017 Chevrolet Impala
The new model Chevrolet Impala is very expected. The public has a great interest. It was unveiled at the auto show in New York. Many were fascinated so sales should be good.

My traffic has fallen real deep and so are the HP earnings. Was wondering anyone out there thought of giving HP?
sort by best latest
Yes, I have thought about leaving HubPages, but I've changed so many things over my lifetime that I'm a little tired of change. The secret to staying with anything, I have learned, is to function from the center of love in your heart. Be constant. Through the law of cause and effect, our attitudes and actions come back to us--if they are negative, they come back as such. If however, we calm our thoughts and listen to the heart and our desire to express our true being, everything flows naturally and rewards come back to us in ways we hadn't imagined.
I'm not making anything from HubPages (under a dollar per month), but I keep learning a little bit more as I read others' work and experiment with the hub creation tools.
Everything in Nature goes in cycles--the tides, the seasons, and, undoubtedly the same will be true with the earnings as we progress with our skills at HubPages. If you don't have any inspiration to write that next hub, go for a walk, take a dance class, or "hop" some hubs--whatever you can do to let go of your disappointment and, perhaps, frustration. Maybe you'll have an idea to make one of your lower scoring hubs more interesting. Whatever it takes, ride the tide and you'll make it safely back to shore.
So, I don't recommend leaving HubPages, but lay it to heart. Your heart will tell you what to do (after taking a brisk walk in the fresh air)! --Blessings, Marie

Well said... HubPages is as much a victim of Panda, as much as all of us. Given the profit-sharing formula, we are all in the same boat. Apparently, HubPages is not the only website affected. If you comb the internet, so also are the rest.
Walter, HP is doing other things than just getting through Panda. I have been here 5 years and have been through many changes, but this last ones is it. I am taking my articles someplace else.
Lady Guinevere, you are finally here! I was hoping you would come. I am still wondering what the last changes are. Could that be why Simone Smith left?
I dunno but something is fishy here. Go look at your stats and see all the way on the right the feature list. I unpub most of my hubs and I got some unfeat for quality things. I am not repub them. I hve upgraded too many times already.
I've seen so many really wonderful writers choose to leave...and I'm always so sad to see them go. I've become fond of so many fellow hubbers and feel a true connection to them, to say nothing of seriously appreciating their fabulous writing. I can't help but wish that they might consider staying, but cutting back on the time they spend on HP.....write elsewhere if they choose, to increase their income.
I understand how they reach this decision to cut ties with HP, and always wish them much luck and success.....but I miss them.
I've not considered leaving and I have no idea if I will in the future, but anything is possible. As it stands at the moment, I'm fairly satisfied that I get from HP what I put forth.....and I enjoy the social aspect.....the education and the entertainment.

Peachpurple, I don't think I've been here long enough to consider leaving. I've noticed in Q&A and forums that a number of those who are thinking of leaving have been here a year or more. So I guess you've been through several changes that bring you to this point. I'm prepared to ride out the storm and move through the transition. I can only speak for myself as I see light at the end of the tunnel. I have gone through a lot of stress to get where I am now, just beginning to grasp how to play the game and tame the beast. So I'll be here for the long haul.

I'm probably not the best person to answer this question peachpurple, as I haven't been with Hubpages all that long. However I feel that it's not about the amount I earn from my Hubs. I like to teach people where I can, and express my thoughts through writing.
Plus, I've never actually struggled with Panda updates or Hubpages rating problems, because these updates are things I was initiated into. It may disadvatage us, but I suppose that those who truly wish to write will write someplace or another.
I think it's just best to not worry about the little things. It's only money, only an update, only a new ratings system. People probably won't appreciate me saying that, but in my situation at least, Hubpages is a creative outlet, and money earned through Hubpages is a nice bonus, but not essential.
To actually answer your question though, I thought of leaving Hubpages only a few weeks after I started, but I'll ride out the storms I suppose.
You can help the HubPages community highlight top quality content by ranking this answer up or down.
Yes, I am thinking of other options.
I was stuck here due to the creative satisfaction of writing and not for money. The community is wonderful and very helpful and supportive. I have learnt a lot from each and every member.
I have not made any money here, nor was bothered for the same. But I can see that instead of concentrating on writing on new topics, all the time one has to revamp or rewrite or edit already written successful hubs, to save them from being non featured. Imagine the plight of those who have over hundred hubs. We do keep our hubs updated, relevant and fresh, but not like this.
I have been reading many hubbers complaining about similar issues. Even the emails I sent for some queries to HP, have not been answered.
You can help the HubPages community highlight top quality content by ranking this answer up or down.
Peachpurple, did your traffic drop since Panda started in February 2011, or only very recently? My own website traffic is miserably down and I was thinking of spending more time to get it up. On top of that, revenue per click has also gone down a lot.
You can help the HubPages community highlight top quality content by ranking this answer up or down.
Yep, everyone thinks they're just going to make a fast buck on the internet, but if you don't understand the technology behind the internet, then you cannot compete, no exceptions. I've been playing this game for a long time, I've got it down well, and from my experience more than 99% fail on the web. Why? Because of their own ignorance and the fact they aren't making a good enough effort.
You can help the HubPages community highlight top quality content by ranking this answer up or down.
Djdaniel150, do you think HubPages is doing it correctly, based on your long experience? I've worked the internet for 5 years, trying to make some money, with pathetic results.
Your comments are not only false about HP, IT IS NOT LIKE THE NET. I take offense to your words as hard as I have worked in the last year only to be slapped in the face. I think you will be eating your words when you really start writing.
Hello peach,
Yes, I have been thinking very seriously about leaving HP. My views haven't dropped, nor has my earnings. I am just so irritated at this new rating system. My biggest question is "What are they thinking?" I refuse to go back and edit the amount of hubs that have been labeled as non featured. I do not have the time, nor do I think it to be necessary. Let them play their little games. I think it is greed driven!
You can help the HubPages community highlight top quality content by ranking this answer up or down.
Agreed. I find it a little naive when Hub writers think the new changes are for our benefit. This site has to make money and that is the bottom line. I don't think they really care about their writers.
I find it very naive and also kind of insulting. I wonder if those people saying this will be saying the same next week when they get hit really hard?

Shenandoah, Virginia is located in southern Page County, between the Blue Ridge and Massanutten mountains, just a few miles from Shenandoah National Park.
The town was settled in 1837 by two brothers who had discovered that the area was very rich in natural resources, such as iron ore deposits, hardwood and limestone. The close proximity to the South Fork of the Shenandoah River was beneficial for the trasportation of goods.
Shenandoah played a strategic role during the Civil War. Several iron ore furnaces around Shenandoah were built to smelt raw iron into pig iron. The local Shenandoah Iron Works used the iron to manufacture supplies used in the war. Cannonballs were also manufactured at local furnaces and shipped to the Confederate Army, along with gunpowder from a local gunpowder plant.
In 2006 and 2007, large fires destroyed parts of downtown Shenandoah. Since then grants from the Commonwealth of Virginia have helped the town rebuild the downtown area.
In addition to it's close proximity to the Shenandoah National Park and Skyline Drive, Shenandoah is just a few miles northeast from Massanutten Resort in Rockingham County.

Customer Reviews
Buggy and unstable but useful
If this app worked like it is supposed to I would give it a five but it's always sort of buggy and unstable. Upgrades don't always make things better. They frequently makes things worse and delete features I like. It is one of the few note apps that lets me sync with my office computer without storing things on the cloud and that is very important for security and confidentiality reasons.
DEVONthink works great
I find this app easy to use and as a result, use it daily. It syncs dependably, doesn't mind how many entries I have (thousands) and finds items quickly. The PDF viewer is excellent and annotations are easy to add, modify and delete. My iPhone and Mac versions are equally capable so the overall workflow is seamless. It's a great app!
Great, but buggy
This app is so amazingly useful, however it consistently exits editing mode right in the middle of typing, sometimes every single line! It frustrates me to the point where I give up completely. I love this app and its companion program for desktop, but it needs to polishing.
