Spain is the third largest producer of wine in the world, following Italy and France. Spain has an abundance of native grape varieties, with over 600 varieties planted throughout Spain, through 80 percent of the country's wine production is from only 20 grapes. Archaeologists believe that grapes were first cultivated in Spain sometime between the third and fourth centuries BC. In recent years, the quality and production volume of premium wines has begun to overtake the presence of generic Spanish bulk wines on the market, establishing Spain's reputation as a serious wine producing county that can compete with other producers in the world wine market.

To refinish a gun's stock, remove the existing finish, scrub off any varnish, brush out any grease, remove stains, sand the stock, burnish and dust the stock, apply filler, and apply the new finish. Brush a light coating of protective coating on the checkering as a final step.Continue Reading
Unload the gun if necessary, and then remove the stock's barreled action. Move to a well-ventilated area, don rubber gloves and a face mask, and remove the existing finish by spraying the stock with finish remover.
After softening the existing finish with the finish remover, use a scrub pad to scrub away any residue. Use a toothbrush to scrub away any grime and grease, scrubbing in the same direction as the checkering grooves.
Use a hair dryer to heat treat any gun oil stains around the stock's tang. The heat causes the oil to rise to the surface; wipe it away, and dry the stock. Cover the checkering with tape, and sand the stock lightly using a sanding block and full-length strokes. Use a fine mesh scrubbing pad to wipe away any residual dust, and wipe the stock down with a dry cloth.
Apply filler thickly to the stock, and allow the filler to dry. Scrub away any excess with a scrub pad, rubbing across the grain, not with the grain. Repeat as necessary to fill in any large pores in the stock. Apply the new finish, rubbing it in with your fingers. Apply three coats, allowing for the recommended drying time between coats and sanding the stock lightly between layers.
Remove the tape from the checkering, and apply a light protective coating to it to finish the job.Learn more about Outdoor Adventure

Cam Newton Breaking News: Star QB Cleared By NCAA To Play for Auburn TigersDecember 1, 2010
The NCAA has ruled that Cam Newton is eligible to play football at Auburn University without any conditions, according to the Associated Press.
Wednesday, the NCAA said in a statement that Cam's father, Cecil Newton, did commit a violation in soliciting extra benefits from Mississippi State boosters.
According to the report, Auburn actually learned of this Tuesday and named Newton ineligible and immediately requested the NCAA to reinstate him. The NCAA granted this.
Here is the link: http://msn.foxsports.com/collegefootball/story/NCAA-rules-Auburn-quarterback-Cam-Newton-eligible-to-play-120110
There is also a story up on ESPN.com about this.
Do you know what this means?
Cam Newton is in the clear, as is Auburn! The turmoil is over. Though Cecil Newton did commit a violation, the NCAA will not rule Cam ineligible. All games Auburn has won this year should stay that way, and if they are revoked, it would be for a completely different violation not regarding Cam Newton.
Auburn is in the clear! War CAM Eagle!

Update 11/18: Pocket Legends Official [Contest]
Update 11/10: Pocket Legends Open Beta now available
Update 10/29: Pocket Legends closed beta announcement:
Announcing Pocket Legends Android Closed Beta

The initial phase of beta will be limited to existing Pocket Legends players and forum users that have purchased Platinum. We want people already familiar with the game to be able to compare functionality with their existing iDevice.
If you meet the criteria and wish to help, please email support(at)spacetimestudios.com with the subject line [Android Beta] and the following information:
1) Name
2) Email address (which must match your Pocket Legends account email address)
3) What is your character name, and how long have you been playing Pocket Legends?

5) Primary Apple Device Model (iPad, iPhone, iPod touch)
6) Android Device Model, OS Version, Device Id (the Android client will be locked to your device)

Please do not ask to be in the beta in this thread.
Link: Spacetime Studios Forums -End Update-
Spacetime Studios, creators of the popular iOS MMO game "Pocket Legends" is gearing up for some serious cross platform support. The rising popularity of MMO mobile games, specifically "Pocket Legends" has managed to catch the eyes of New York venture capital firm Insight Venture Partners. They announced they would be funding further development of Spacetime Studio's technology platform along with new functionality and enhancements.
Armed with this new capital, Spacetime Studios is planning to bring "Pocket Legends" to the Android and PC markets in the very near future. CEO, Gary Gattishas stated that:
"Providing players, no matter where they are, with a single deep, seamless 3D MMO gaming experience on multiple devices has been a dream of ours since the company was founded."
This pioneering venture will open the doors to unlimited possibilities.
"In the near future, it will be possible to be on the bus in California with your iPhone, playing with someone in a park in France on their Android device, and both be playing in the same server set with someone in South Korea on their PC.†said Anthony L. Sommers, co-founder and CTO of Spacetime Studios
Pretty darn awesome when you think about it. I predict there will be a booming trend coming in this mobile multiplayer gaming market and it turns out the guys at the forefront realize this too. Not only will they be enhancing their own MMO series but they plan on licensing the technology behind "Pocket Legends," allowing other developers to create their own games. The mobile gaming industry seems to be traveling at light speed and I for one am tickled pink thinking about the possibilities in store for us.
If you haven't yet heard of "Pocket Legends" I suggest you head over to the Spacetime Studios site and check out the videos and forums. You can also check out sister site The Portable Gamer's review right here as well. With the immense popularity of previous MMO games such as "World Of Warcraft," I feel that taking this genre into the mobile platform is the logical step to take.

KANSAS CITY, Missouri (Reuters) - The University of Missouri's president called on Wednesday for an independent counsel to investigate how school officials responded to the alleged 2010 rape of a student on the female swim team who later committed suicide.
The Missouri case comes in the wake of growing concern about sexual assaults in schools and in the military. Last week, President Barack Obama announced the creation of a White House task force to look into the problem of sexual assaults on campus.
University president Tim Wolfe said at a news conference that he wants to determine if the university acted properly in matters related to Sasha Menu Courey. The student killed herself in 2011, about 16 months after the alleged off-campus rape. She was 20.
"An independent counsel gives us the best possibility of having a true understanding of events that surround this tragic situation," Wolfe said.
Wolfe said he would ask the university's board of curators to hire outside attorneys following a news report by sports network ESPN that officials learned of Courey's rape allegations in 2012, but took no action. The ESPN report did not name Menu Courey's alleged attacker or attackers.
In February 2010, Menu Courey said that, following a night of drinking, she went home with a former university football player and had consensual sex, according to the ESPN report.
Later that year, she told a rape crisis counselor and wrote in her journal that after the consensual sex, her partner left and another former football player entered the room, locked the door and raped her, ESPN reported.
Wolfe said he directed chancellors on university campuses across Missouri to examine their policies and seek ways to best protect their 75,000 students.
"When you look at the statistics on mental health and sexual assaults, we have a systematic problem across the United States," Wolfe added.
Police in Columbia, Missouri, said on Monday they were investigating the case. Until last week, police had received no report of the alleged rape, a police statement said.
The university previously said in a statement that officials first became aware of the rape allegations in late 2012 when reviewing a transcript of a crisis hotline chat between Menu Courey and a counselor.
Those records were among thousands of pages of documents the university released to Menu Courey's parents, Michael Menu and Lynn Courey, at their request, ESPN reported.
The university asked her parents in a January 2013 letter for any information about people with knowledge of the incident, and if they wanted further investigation, but got no response, university officials said in a statement.
Privacy laws barred health personnel from sharing the rape allegations at the time without Menu Courey's permission, it said.
Wolfe declined comment on the police investigation on Wednesday because it is in progress.
Michael Menu and Lynn Courey, who live in Toronto, set up a foundation to help people with borderline personality disorder, an illness from which the young woman suffered. In a statement on the foundation's website they said they welcomed an independent investigation by the university.
"The system failed Sasha and we cannot let this happen to anyone else," they added.

Fannie Mae
The mortgage giant -- placed under government conservatorship in September 2008 along with Freddie Mac
Fannie's $7.8 billion deficit as of Sept. 30 reflected a total comprehensive net loss of $5.3 million, plus $2.5 billion in dividends paid on preferred shares held by the U.S. Treasury.
Following the additional $7.8 billion draw that will be requested by acting Federal Housing Finance Agency, or FHFA, director Edward DeMarco, the Treasury will hold $112.6 billion in Fannie Mae preferred shares, requiring the insolvent company to pay an annual dividend of 10%, or $11.3 billion.
Fannie Mae said that through the third quarter it had paid the government a total of $17.2 billion in dividends.
The company said the wider third-quarter loss reflected $4.9 billion in credit expenses and "$4.5 billion in fair value losses driven primarily by losses on risk management derivatives due to a significant decline in swap interest rates during the quarter," which were partially offset by $5.5 billion in net revenues.
Fannie Mae CEO Michael Williams said that despite "continued weakness in the housing market and the economy overall," the company was "making solid progress," by "growing a strong new book of business that now accounts for nearly half of our overall single-family guaranty book of business."
Williams also said that Fannie was helping "homeowners to avoid foreclosure and provide liquidity to enable working families to buy a home or secure quality affordable rental housing," and was "committed to building a stronger housing finance system for the future, and strengthening Fannie Mae to deliver value to customers, families, taxpayers, and the industry."
The acting FHFA director was in hot water this week, when Senator John McCain (R-Ariz.) complained about $12.9 million in bonuses being paid to executives of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which the senator said were approved by "Mr. Edward J. DeMarco."
McCain called the FHFA's treatment of Fannie and Freddie executives ""outright corruption and blatant abuse of the American taxpayer."
The FHFA on Oct. 27 projected that at the end of 2014, "cumulative Treasury Draws (including dividends)," would "range from $220 billion to $311 billion."
The regulator is hoping to help Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac recoup some of their losses -- now taxpayer losses -- through lawsuits against large mortgage lenders whose mortgage-backed securities were purchased by the government-sponsored mortgage companies, play out.
The regulator in September sued 17 large banks -- including Bank of America (BAC)
The mortgage-backed securities sales to the Fannie and Freddie by Bank of America -- including sales by Countrywide and Merrill Lynch before both companies were acquired by Bank of America -- totaled $57.5 billion, while the FHFA said JPMorgan's securities sales to the government-sponsored enterprises - including those by Washington Mutual before the thrift failed and was sold by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. to JPMorgan in Sept. 2008 -- totaled $33 billion.
For Citigroup, the mortgage-backed securities sales to Fannie and Freddie described in the FHFA lawsuit totaled $3.5 billion, while securities sales to the GSEs totaled $11.1 billion for Goldman, $10.6 billion for Morgan Stanley, and $3.5 billion for Citigroup.
With President Obama's expansion of the Home Affordable Refinance Program, or HARP -- which beginning early in 2012 will remove the current 125% loan-to-value ratio for refinancing of mortgage loans held by Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae -- refinancing activity is expected to accelerate, putting pressure on the government-sponsored mortgage giants' interest income and margins.
The FHFA plans to release additional details of the expanded HARP on Nov. 15.

1241P - A plasma proteomic signature predicts outcomes in a phase 3 study of gemcitabine (G) + cisplatin (C) sorafenib in first line stage IIIB or IV NSCLC

Previously presented results from NExUS, a Phase 3 study of sorafenib in combination with G + C (GC) vs placebo + GC in first line NSCLC patients, showed no improvement in overall survival (OS) and a small statistically significant improvement in progression free survival (PFS) for sorafenib + GC. VeriStrat® (V), a proteomic test using Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization Time of Flight Mass Spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS), was used in the present study to classify baseline plasma samples from NExUS patients into V Good (VG) and V Poor (VP) categories based on a pre-specified 8-peak mass spectral signature. The overall objective was to determine if V status was predictive of sorafenib + GC clinical activity.Methods
Patients with Stage IIIB or IV NSCLC, ECOG PS = 0 or 1, were randomized 1:1 to receive G (1250 mg/m2 on Days 1 and 8) and C (75 mg/m2 on Day 1) for up to six 21-day cycles, in combination with sorafenib 400 mg bid or placebo. V status was determined for 403 of 774 non-squamous patients. Analyses were performed blinded to clinical outcomes. PFS was compared between treatment arms within VP and VG groups. Hazard ratios (HR) and Kaplan-Meier curves were evaluated and multivariate analyses performed.Results
Consistent with previous reports, approximately 30% of subjects had VP status. PFS and HRs in treatment arms in patients with and without assigned V status were similar. VG status was associated with a longer PFS in placebo + GC patients (HR = 0.51, log-rank p <0.001). There was a statistically significant interaction between treatment and V status in PFS, whereby relative to placebo + GC, sorafenib + GC showed an improvement in PFS in patients with VP status (HR = 0.63, log-rank p = 0.019) but not in patients with VG status (HR = 1.06 log-rank p =0.628). V*treatment interaction remained significant in multivariate analysis adjusting for demographics and known risk factors (p = 0.019). Analyses of OS data are ongoing.Conclusions
VG status is associated with a better prognosis in first line NSCLC patients treated with placebo + GC. V is also predictive, with VP patients receiving sorafenib + GC showing improved PFS compared to placebo + GC.Disclosure

The Colorado Legacy Foundation announced Monday it will distribute $9.7 million to four Colorado school districts for work on implementing evaluation systems and new state academic standards.
Most of the money is from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Other donations came from JPMorgan Chase and local contributors.
"We know there are pockets of excellence throughout Colorado, and that some of this great work in educator effectiveness is already being done," said Colorado Legacy Foundation president and chief executive Helayne Jones.
The point is to highlight those pockets, she said, targeting supports for teachers, in order to learn from them and create models of effective teaching.
Because Denver Public Schools has already been working with money from the Gates Foundation, they have been selected as one of the districts to receive money to continue that work.
Every Colorado school district may apply for a quarter share of the money, but only three more will be selected this summer.
Lessons learned during a three-year partnership with DPS and the three selected districts will be models for the rest of the state and country.
Gates Foundation program officer Adam Porsch said Colorado was selected to receive funding because of last year's Senate Bill 191, which changes the way teachers are evaluated, and because of the state's new academic standards.
"We hope it will serve as a model of collaboration and leveraging the best ideas to prepare all students for college and career," Porsch said.
The Colorado Legacy Foundation will host a conference next week where districts will learn how to apply for the money.
The conference also will provide an overview of state reform efforts and showcase tools to support the implementation work.
DPS doesn't have specifics on how its share of the money will be spent. "We're very excited. We know it has supports around helping us create new assessments," said Susana Cordova, DPS's chief academic officer.
She said DPS will likely work with the state to create assessments for previously untested subjects such as art or physical education and evaluations for teachers of those subjects.
"But it's less about what each district does with the money individually; it's more about the power of bringing more people together to these discussions," Cordova said. "Everybody's trying to figure out how to do this work, so it helps to work on it together."

Wenger happy with comfortable Arsenal win
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger was pleased with his side's comfortable 2-0 UEFA Champions League win over Marseille on Tuesday.
Goals from Jack Wilshere in the first and 65th minutes at the Emirates Stadium sealed Arsenal's convincing win, in which Mesut Ozil had a first-half penalty saved.
Arsenal had 13 attempts on goal and should have scored more, but they still won easily, posting their fourth Group F win from five attempts.
A point in Napoli in their last pool match will guarantee Arsenal of qualification to the round of 16 - they can also go through if they lose and Marseille beat Borussia Dortmund - and Wenger feels this is well within the reach of his team.
"We were in control and it looked sometimes, yes, that we lacked a bit sharpness to finish the game off," the Frenchman told ITV.
"Overall we were always in control and our only regret is that we could have scored more goals.
"You have 12 points and five games. That's a good number of points. I'm confident we can take a point or three in Naples to go through.
"It's an interesting one of course, a difficult one. We have played other difficult games away from home against other opponents and did well. That's what we have to put in our mind."
When asked about Wilshere's performance, Wenger added: "He showed me he can score goals.
"The most important thing in a good football team is that you have many players who can score and many players get chances."

Related Post: Experience of APE.
Last October, while attending APE (Alternative Press Expo), I visited A Raven Above Press's table and met owner Lorin Morgan-Richards. I was thrilled when he contacted me this April, inviting me to be one of a number of artists to illustrate a book on the history of Welsh Saints!!
This book is one in a series of Welsh art books published by A Raven Above Press and will be released at the 2014 Los Angeles St. David's Day Festival – National Day of Wales. It will be researched and written by Peter Anthony Freeman and will feature illustrations from about 30 talented artists from the U.S. and Wales. I am very excited to participate in this project and can't wait to see how the finished product turns out! 🙂
In June, I finally received the list of saints for the artists/illustrators to choose from and was pleased to find a number of very intriguing choices. In the end, I choose Saint Tewdrig for the following legend:
"On returning to secular service due to military necessity, Tewdrig is given the prophecy that he will be successful but will be mortally wounded; that a vehicle pulled by two stags, yoked, will appear and carry him towards his destination of Ynys Echni, but that he will die in peace three days after the battle. Wherever the stags halted, fountains gushed forth, but as they approached The Severn the wagon was broken, a very clear stream gushed forth and here Tewdrig died."
The deadline for my illustration is January 1st, 2014 — so I have plenty of time to research and experiment!
Below are some research images of Tewdrig.
Disclaimer: I do not own any of these images!!

Richard Griffiths was an actor from the old school. And by that I mean he liked a little nip before going onstage.
I met him a couple of times at Angus McIndoe's, a bar across the street from the Broadhurst, the theater in which Griffiths delivered his Tony-winning performance as an unorthodox teacher in "The History Boys" in 2006.
He'd order a coffee and then tell the bartender to add "just a thimbleful of brandy." He was very particular about the brandy. "It is going into the coffee," he would say, "so I want the cheapest brandy you have." He'd raise his voice: "You understand, the brandy is going into the coffee, so do not give me Remy Martin."
After a sip of his brandy-laced coffee, he held up a hand and said, "Calms the nerves."
Griffiths, who died at 65 over the weekend, was a delightful eccentric. He could be curmudgeonly, ticking off a list of complaints that would make Job blush, but there was always a little mischievous twinkle in his eye. And he laughed at himself.
"He took the work very, very seriously, but not himself," says James Corden, who played one of the "History Boys."
At the time of "The History Boys," Griffiths was enormous. He had a 50-inch waist and, offstage, walked with a cane. He couldn't climb the two flights of stairs to the third-floor bar at Angus: He used the elevator — "the freight elevator," as he called it.
He didn't enjoy all the glad-handing award ceremonies and cocktail parties he had to attend around Tony time because "it is too much effort to get to the food."
After Julia Roberts saw the "The History Boys," she went round to Griffiths' dressing room, unannounced. She knocked on his door and when it opened, there he stood, all 300 pounds of him, in his underwear.
"Enter, my dear," he said, then put on a robe and served her Champagne.
"I can't go any further into this," he told me, "but I think she's after my body."
Despite his size, he could be surprisingly nimble onstage. There was a moment in "The History Boys" that always brought down the house. When Corden, as a chunky, attention-grabbing student, started horsing around, Griffiths remained still and then — bam! — smacked him on the head, his hand moving like lightning.
"The slap could be quite hard if I wasn't behaving myself onstage," Corden says. "There were definitely times when it was Richard, not his character, hitting me. But then he'd wink at me as if to say, 'You know why I did that.' "
Griffiths attributed his physicality to growing up around his parents, who, he said, were "profoundly deaf." There was no music, no television, no BBC in the house. He invented his own sign language and acted out whatever he wanted to convey to his parents.
"You point at what you want, and then point where you want it," he once said. "Or you will starve."
His childhood wasn't happy. His parents were dirt-poor — his father was a steelworker — and three of his siblings died. Two were stillborn. The third, his sister Mary, died a few days after her birth. His mother was holding Mary in her arms in the hospital bed. She nodded off and Mary slipped out of the bed and broke her neck.
"It completely clouded the marriage," Griffiths told the BBC. "It became a desperately unhappy relationship because of that."
It was a play about an unhappy marriage that sent him into the theater. At 17, he saw Edward Albee's "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" Before the end of the first act, Griffiths was determined to become an actor. His father had lined up a job for him in a steel mill. When Griffiths told him he wanted to study drama, his father "raged" at him.
Quickly, though, he established himself as a fine Shakespearean, playing Henry VIII and, of course, Bottom for the Royal Shakespeare Company.
He became something of a cult figure as queeny Uncle Monty in "Withnail and I."
"I mean to have you, even if it must be burglary!" he says while chasing Paul McGann around the room.
But the role with which he'll forever be identified is wicked Uncle Vernon in "Harry Potter."
Griffiths liked the money but complained about the attention.
"I can't go anywhere without being bothered by kids," he told me. "Fortunately, Vernon is the most unsympathetic character, so the kids expect me to be horrible. And who am I to disoblige them? I mean, I love kids, but I couldn't eat a whole one."

Last May the Jikei Hospital In Japan set up what they call the "Stork's Cradle†where mothers can drop off their unwanted babies. The baby hatch is equipped with an incubator, and is designed so people can leave newborns anonymously using a door outside the hospital. Staff are alerted after door is opened. A note inside urges people to contact hospital staff if they change their minds.
Apparently this baby drop zone has become quite successful- they've had 6 unwanted babies dropped off since it's conception earlier this year. Including 2 earlier this month!
According to Canoe.ca "The hospital created the drop box following a series of high-profile cases last year in which newborns were abandoned in parks and supermarkets, triggering a public outcry and government warnings against abandoning babies. The number of children raised at Japanese orphanages rose to about 30,400 in 2003, up 13 per cent from about 27,000 in 1998, Health Ministry statistics showed" and inventorspot.com says "An official at Jikei Hospital was quoted by Japan's Kyodo News Service as saying "Maybe there are some people who are suspicious about it, but we should not pretend not to see them and let them die. Babies are innocent."

SDCC '11 | Lady Luck revealed as mystery Justice League member
When the line-up for the post-relaunch Justice League was revealed a few weeks ago, many fans wondered who the woman was on the right, beneath Green Arrow and Hawkman. Was it Zealot, Black Canary, Power Girl, Savant, Lady Quark or any of the other characters fans guessed?
Well, if you guessed the 1940s character Lady Luck, then you're in luck …
At the DC Comics "New 52" panel today in San Diego, Justice League writer Geoff Johns solved the mystery. As Kiel Phegley reports on CBR, the character is "a reinvention of an old character called Lady Luck…every time she buys a lottery ticket she wins. She's going to get involved with the JLA after she attempts to buy out WayneTech." He added she takes up crime fighting because she feels her life of luck has left her frustrated and directionless.
If you're curious as to who the original Lady Luck was, a quick look around the internet reveals she was created and designed by Will Eisner in the 1940s under the pseudonym "Ford Davis," along with artist Chuck Mazoujian. She was created to fill the back pages of a 16-page Sunday newspaper supplement that was done in the form of a comic book; Eisner's The Spirit occupied the first half, and Lady Luck shared the spotlight with Ms. Mystic. Other creators who worked on the character include writer Dick French, and artists Nick Cardy, Klaus Nordling and Fred Schwab. In those comics, Lady Luck didn't have super powers, and her alter ego was Brenda Banks. You can find more information on her here and here.

Moving to New England area, how easy is it to get a New Grad position?
I currently live in California and will be graduating in December. I want to move to the northeast/new england area, but I'm worried that there aren't enough New Grad programs there. I won't move unless I know for sure that getting a job will be easy and for no less than 20/hr. Any advice about hospitals, new grad programs, helpful websites or other states which have as significant of a nursing shortage as california would be VERY appreciated.
Thanks for your help,

Momos, Meatballs, Tiepao, Fish Dumplings
Rice Pudding, Pork Rolls
For non-vegetarian foodies visiting the city of Kolkata, Terrety Bazaar is a must-visit. Terrety Bazaar (often spelt as Tirreta Bazaar) is the city's very own China Town, located in a tiny lane amidst the bustling business hub, Burra Bazaar. Terrety Bazaar has been a home to many Chinese families since close to a century. When most of the families moved onto the new China Town in Tangra, a handful stayed back here. It is these families that make Terrety Bazaar such a unique experience on early mornings, when they gather in the small market selling Chinese street food. The market is compact with vendors of all hues - vegetable vendors, meat shops, and a few food stalls. The makeshift food stalls come up right after sunrise and disperse within two hours or so. The food they sell is fresh, flavourful and inexpensive, and perhaps as close to authentic Chinese street food as one can get in Kolkata. The nameless stalls are set up on small tables and the menu has everything from all sorts of momos to meatballs, tiepao, shyaphaley or pork rolls.
Few points to remember for the first time Terrety Bazaar explorers:
- Do not confuse Terrety Bazzar with China Town. Google Maps are not so reliable in this particular case.
- The best way to reach this old community area is to hire a taxi and get down at Sun Yat Sen Street near Laalbazaar.
- Make sure you reach latest by 7 AM, as the stalls close as soon as the food is sold.
- Winter is the best time to go as all the stalls are open during this season. If you are dropping by here during the summer months, try to come on a Sunday.

Why Aviators Make Every Character More Badass
Jessica Chastain makes the point well in<em> Zero Dark Thirty</em>. Imagine how fast the south would have caved if Lincoln had worn them?
Jessica Chastain has a number of intimidating scenes in Zero Dark Thirty: There's the one quoted in every review, when she identifies herself as "the motherfucker who found the place." There is the scene in which she dares to scream obscenities at poor Coach Taylor (reborn, for the purposes of this film, as a floundering CIA bureau chief). And then there is the above shot — plastered across most of the film's promotional material — in which she glowers at the camera in a pair of aviators. It is the most hard-ass image from a very hard-ass performance, and it raises this very important accessories question: Why doesn't Jessica Chastain wear aviators in all her movies? In fact, why don't all fictional characters wear aviators in times of crisis? Look how much tougher her other past characters (and some other non-Chastain characters) look after we've Photoshopped these sunglasses on. You think any bad guy is gonna screw with your protagonist when he or she looks like this?
Take Shelter: "That thing? That's just a tiny rain cloud, like the kind you see in children's books when someone is having a bad day." (In the alternate, aviator-wearing version of Take Shelter, this sentence would turn out to be true.)
The Help: "You can take your Junior League luncheon and shove it up your ass." – [deleted scene.]
Broadway's The Heiress: This is not a woman who gets dumped by Dan Stevens. This is not a woman who gets bullied by David Strathairn. This is a woman who ditches both men in the first act, takes all the money, hops a plane to Costa Rica, and spends the rest of her days drinking things out of coconuts.
And now, let's see what wonders aviators can do for some other movies ...
Lincoln: "I am the president of the United States, clothed in immense power and anachronistic but very rad sunglasses."
Les Misérables: What did you just say about her daughter? Do you want to say that a little louder? No?
The Walking Dead: "Hi, I used to be an ungrateful child and annoying plot device, but now I am a cool teen." –an excerpt from Carl's Dream Journal.
The Hobbit: Walking and eating and singing and hanging out with porcupines for two and a half hours never looked so cool.
Homeland: "Who's crying now, assholes?"

BMW Taxi
I snapped this shot of a BMW taxi on my way to work a few days ago at the corner of Dunhua and Nanking in Taipei. My friend Jeff says that a lot of car-loving Taiwanese are being forced to turn their babies into taxis just to make the payments. To me, it seems like a steep price to pay. If Taiwan's motorists are being forced to such tactics, it makes me wonder about how they get the financing in the first place.

Here are a few things you need to know:
Is your pharmacy available to anyone?
Our Pharmacy is FREE to our patients you must see our physician in order to use our pharmacy.
Where do you get the medications from?
Our Pharmacy is on the Oklahoma State Board of Pharmacy ~ Pharmacies Participating in the Unused Prescription Drug Program, which means that we get our medications from Assisted Living Centers, Nursing Homes, and other free clinics. If a patient in a Nursing Home changes meds they are not allowed to give the old med to anyone else so they get rid of it, and that is where we come in we accept it and give that med out to you.
How do we go about refilling scripts?
If you will call into the clinic and give us your Rx # which is on the pill bottle label from your last script we will try to have it filled when you come into the clinic on Tuesday night. Remember to call in at the latest Monday morning so we can have everything ready for you Tuesday night.
Do I have to see the Doctor every single month?
No the first script will be good for 30 days, the Doctor will then look at the results to make sure the medication is working properly and if they are good then he can give you refills where you just call in and we fill them and your on your way. We do however, due to space and supply only give out 30 day supply of medication at a time.

At a time when a tape handed over to the Qatar-based Al-Jazeera television station has received widespread expose for its purported comments by Osama bin Laden in praise of recent terror events around the world, another al-Qaeda message released to the same station has received little coverage.
Al-Jazeera was granted an interview with one Mohammed al-Usuquf, allegedly al-Qaeda's number three. Al-Usuquf is said to be a doctor in physics and to hold a masters degree in international economics. A copy of the interview was sent to the prestigious Arab-language daily Al Quds Al Arabi, edited in London, but it was not printed.

This is a story that needs to be told and the telling is long overdue.
Palm Springs, CA (PRWEB) February 16, 2013
Direct from the editing room, This 'n That Films' new documentary "Mid-Century Moderns: The Homes That Define Palm Springs" premieres at the Palm Springs Hilton on February 18, at 3pm. Through Interviews with architects, designers, preservationists and homeowners, the film tells the story of the Alexander Construction Company: how they brought architecturally designed homes to the middle-class in the mid-50's, and how those homes became the catalyst for today's revival and celebration of all things modern.
"We're really excited about the amazing response from the Modernist community to our film's premiere during Modernism Week, and are looking forward to celebrating with the audience on Monday the 18th," said Bert Simonis, co-producer. Much of the film takes viewers into living rooms, kitchens and backyards, where we hear from the residents themselves why living in these mid-century gems is so special.
"This is a story that needs to be told and the telling is long overduek," added Robert Imber, Owner of Palm Springs Modern Tours, and Founding member of the Palm Springs Modern Committee.
"We go beyond the walls and hedges and show you these homes as only the homeowners see them," said John C. Brown, producer/director of "Mid-Century Moderns". "I was surprised at how open homeowners were about letting our cameras roam through their houses. We got some pretty amazing shots."
The DVD, filmed in full HD, is available at the Palm Springs Visitors Center, the Palm Springs Art Museum and select Palm Springs stores in addition to the Producer's website.
John C. Brown previously directed This 'n That Films' award-winning documentary "The Last First Comic". Bert Simonis is the owner of a mid-century home in Palm Springs and successful author of murder mystery novels for Kindle, Nook and other eReaders.

No results were found.
When the candidates for County Executive take the stage at tonight's debate, they will talk about their plans for Westchester, but we want to hear about their vision. Westchester's future is lost if all we get is more of the same. Good leaders set their sights high and work toward that end. Or to paraphrase the great philosopher Yogi Berra: if you don't know where you're going, you'll never get there.
Here's our wish list for creating a vision for Westchester. We hope that whoever wins the election will take it to heart and start working towards these goals.
During a brief speech at Thursday's Westchester County Association Breakfast, County Executive Rob Astorino's "State of the County" address, may have been a pre-cursor to the 2013 race...

From Florida, USA:
My 14 year old son has had type 1 for about four years and wears glasses for nearsightedness. He would like to try contact lenses. Which type is best suited for a person with diabetes?
Having diabetes is not a contraindication to wearing contacts. People with diabetes, especially if not controlled, may have a slower healing rate and a loss of sensitivity which can contribute to contact lens related insult to the cornea and potential infection and ulcer. I would not recommend the overnight lenses, extended wear. Conservative wearing time, say 8 to 10 hours. per day, proper regular follow-ups, and strict compliance with lens care may be more important then the "soft" versus "firm/hard" question. Soft lenses are least likely to cause lens related mechanical trauma but can more likely mask any mild trauma developing. Gas perm hard lenses may be more likely to contribute to mechanical trauma, but contribute less to the dampening of sensitivity of the cornea and are less likely to mask any developing problem, which is good for early intervention. Patient compliance and a provider committed to detail, good fit, not the cheapest deal, and service is your best bet.
Everything being equal, gas permeable firm lenses are physiologically more compatible with the cornea and from that viewpoint would be the better choice.

The Crown Jewel
The iPod section of the iPhone is the essential part that separates this phone from the rest of the smart phone invaders. Though the slew of applications is a nice addition, the reparation and quality of the time honored mp3 franchise is what defines the phone. It is a little different from the classic editions, and therefore specific tips must apply.
- slide 2 of 5
Music Volume
You can adjust the music on your phone when you are listening to it, but once you hit a certain point it won't go any louder. You can increase the actual volume of the tracks in iTunes. Before you sync your phone to iTunes go ahead and select all of the songs that you would like to alter the bottom of. Right click and then go to Get Info. From here you select Options and then Volume Adjustment. Here you can just change the volume scale by raising it up a little bit according to your preference.
- slide 3 of 5
Going Slow
You can actually slow forward and rewind video on the iPhone in a similar way to a DVD player. When you are watching a video on your phone, you can press either the skip forward button or the skip backward button to make the video play forward or backward slowly, respectively.
- slide 4 of 5
Video Play
The video segment allows the video you were last playing to stay at the point from which you left it. This can be very convenient when watching a movie over a period of time, but not for shorter ones. If you are watching a shorter video, you may want to skip to the end if it is not over so that the player is set up to play the beginning of videos.
- slide 5 of 5
The difference between the earphones that come with the iPhone for iPod listening and regular headphones is that these ones actually have a small microphone on the cord so that you do not have to take them off when answering the phone. There is a little budge on the cord that acts as both the microphone and the controller. If you pinch it quickly, it will answer the call; and if you hold it for more than a couple seconds it will pick up the voicemail. You can also you this to pause and play music in the iPod by snapping it the same way.

Fuchsia photo by Meeze
Fuchsia is probably my favorite f-word. Ever since having kids, I've substituted f-bombs with words like "fuchsia" or "Farquad" (the Napoleon-esque ruler of Shrek fame). I'm not usually one for the color pink, but there's something about fuchsia that, to me, makes it so likable. Fuchsia has the right amount of pizzazz and packs so much punch, it's hard for me not to like it. I think it's a really versatile color; I could envision it used at loud '80s fashion party or as an accent at an elegant banquet.
For those of you who might be genetically predisposed to cringing at the sight of fuchsia, here's a little roundup of fuchsia goodness to kickstart your heart into welcoming it:
I'm all sorts of crazy about that cake and crepe flower bouquet!
