Swaragini…Fan fiction writing challenge by sethooty (1)
"I love you Ragini".
Her eyes widened listening his soothing voice. He bent down his knees and forward his right hand to her.
"Will you marry me..?"
She didn't answer kept silent.Just look into his deep brown eyes.
"Answer me yaar".He make a pout face.Suddenly a sweet voice knocked his ear.
"Yes". He look around there ,where he heared that sound. its from under the table.
A 17 year old girl with long curly hair is sitting there and closed her mouth with two hand and muttered.
"Oh come on di say Yes…".
He lean towards the table by cocking his head under the table.
"Swara ki bachi". He caught her by ear.But she closed her eyes in fear like a pu**y cat.
Ragini burst out laughing.
"Leave me sanskar plz.. Sorry sorry".
"Kabab mein haddi..am not going to leave u idiot".
"Leave her sanskar.. She is a kid".
"Kid.. She spoiled my date ..my plan..uff".
"What..is this your suprise..very boring.."
"Boring ..??Ragini.. This is too much yaar…oyee swara ki bachi tell your didi to accept my proposal".
"First leave my ear sanskar..its paining".
"Oh k….she took a breath.
"My pyari si…sweetu cutie di…for my sake".. She then turn her face to him.
He narrow his eyes and raise his eye brow.
"Yes am telling yaar..don't look me like that.".
She move little apart from him..
"Di don't accept him..". She fisted thumb down to sanskar and pulled Ragini is hand and run away from there….
Ragini:25 year old girl and a school teacher.she is living with her father Dadi and her younger cousin swara.She is a kind hearted girl ambitious and love her family a lot.Her shona is her bestie.She is like her mother.
Swara:17 year old girl cousin of Ragini. She going to join her Degree class after one week.She will turn 18 after few month.Her father and mother died at her younger age due to a car accident. Now she living with her uncle Shekhar and nani .Her elder sister Ragini is her friend and everything to her.
Sanskar: An adovacate by prefession.He had a crush on Ragini and very impressed by her attitude and nature.He is 26 year old handsome guy. No one in his family. He is alone and 2 year back his father died. so he want to marry a sanskari girl who give his part of happiness.
Dadi:swara and Ragini's grandmother. She is very protective about her grand daughters.After Ragini's marriage she is planned to do swara's marriage asps.She believes according to swara's kundali she must married before turn to 19.Dadi is very proud of Ragini as she take the responsibility of her family at her younger age.She is helping Shekhar in her shop.She is very matured and strong girl.But she also have some weak point.She is very much afraid of blood. If she anyone hurt or seen blood oozing out.she will faint down.
Swara is very childish in nature and Ragini pampered her a lot.swara always got scolds by Dadi bz of her nature. Sometimes she troubles Sanskar unintentionally .But she always try to make them close.Her dream is Ragini's marriage and she believes Sanskar is the rite guy for her di but she always tease him.Sanskar is very much irritated sometimes jealous of this sisters bond bz he didn't get that much attention from Ragini.
Guys shocked….yes am ur sethooty …bz I loved her..sorry I could able to post after one month.I have some certification examzzz…so…
..this is a triangle love story…. And funniest part is am not going to write it…..I just scrolled down …my eyes stuck on Hope challenge….. So haha guys u understand….
Actually in my mind there is a concept which I adopt from some old film.but this prologue is not related this.if I start to write I will surely choose that track.but I can't write any fan fiction .one of my fiction is pending….
Friends plz try to write OS or fan fiction… Which giving importance to two pairs.
You can choose Laksh instead of Sanskar.But if u choose Laksk as the lead. Sanskar wouldn't be there.
So Sanskar Swara and Ragini is the lead…there is no other male leads….
Laksh swara Ragini…
Hope…u r a talented writer u must accept my challenge….guys anyone can write this fiction….plz try it..just for a horror( fun)??? and break the leg….
Guy's..wait wait..one min Being a swasan raglak fan..how can I forget them…yes…
Swara Sanskar
Raglak.. ( Ragini in the place of swara and Sanskar as Laksh)
*so there is no love triangle there will be one and only one pair.
Theme is 'beyond the age'.There is a big age difference b/w them..noticed????

Banks that were found to have problems "have already taken -- or are in the process of" taking corrective actions such as closing accounts, refunding customers and fixing credit bureau information, the OCC said.
"It's certainly troubling that this appears to be more widespread than one bank," said John Sedunov, a finance professor at Villanova.
A PwC consultant briefed on the findings told the American Banker that the review led the OCC to issue 252 alerts to banks about matters that required attention as well as five industry-wide problems to be fixed.
The OCC declined to comment beyond its statement. PwC declined to comment.

in September 2016 that a sales obsession pervaded their banks too. They described immense pressure to get customers to open multiple accounts.
"Wells Fargo isn't the only one. This is an industry-wide problem," one former banker at a regional lender told CNNMoney.
The OCC said it completed its review in late 2017 and letters to participating banks were sent earlier this year. The agency supervises all national banks, including major lenders such as JPMorgan Chase ( ) , Citigroup ( ) , Bank of America, US Bank ( ) and PNC. The OCC also regulates federal branches of foreign banks.
A PNC spokesperson said the bank regularly trains employees to have "thoughtful discussions" with customers about financial products. "We only act on what a customer wants to pursue," PNC said.

The study of gene promoters and CpG islands under the assumption that variation in the 5-methylcytosine status at these locations would have functional importance has been the focus of most cancer-related DNA methylation studies. Building upon the previously described RRBS method, the ERRBS assay described here made it possible to measure DNA methylation in primary AML samples beyond promoter regions, extending even into distal intergenic regions. This significantly enhanced genomic coverage allowed us to demonstrate that heterogeneity in epigenomic profiles in AML is not only a factor of different genes being affected, but rather encompasses a far more complex scenario, which includes the aberrant DNA methylation of distinct regions of the genome as well as differential mechanisms of regulation of gene expression according to genetic background. Given the specificity and reproducibility of these aberrant DNA methylation patterns, it is likely that their establishment in malignant cells is directly linked to genetic driver lesions. Our previous studies using HELP promoter microarrays are consistent with these results in that they revealed a hypermethylated promoter signature in IDH-mut AMLs, and a hypomethylated signature in MLLr. However those studies did not have the resolution or depth to reveal the true genomic nature, complexity and qualitative differences that we are now able to report regarding the nature of cytosine methylation distribution in these AML patients.
Specifically, in the case of MLLr leukemias, aberrant DNA methylation consists mostly of aberrant hypomethylation of upstream and intronic CpGs including CpG islands and shores, but extending to and heavily involving even more distal regions. Hypomethylation of regulatory elements is consistent with the actions of MLL fusion proteins as transcriptional activators. However, in these tumors the distal localization of hypomethylation was more closely associated with the presence of HOXA9 and MEIS1 binding sites and enhancer regions than with MLL binding sites, suggesting that aberrant DNA hypomethylation in these tumors may be more closely related to effects of downstream targets of MLL than to the fusion protein itself. However, it should be noted that a subset of MLL peaks (6.5%) did indeed overlap with DMCs in the MLLr AMLs. Since our ChIP-seq antibody recognized both the wild-type and the rearranged copy of MLL. Given that MLL fusions have been shown to bind to a subset of wt-MLL target genes
Buy Cheap In China Best Place Online Vision Of Super marble money bag Shop Cheap Price Where To Buy oDLJ1HZe
, it still remains possible that the subset of overlapping peaks may be preferentially bound by the MLL fusion. Further studies with antibodies capable of distinguishing between the two forms of MLL will be required to properly address the role of MLL fusions in helping establish the aberrant methylation profile seen in these leukemias. The functional relevance of hypomethylation in MLLs is supported by the enrichment for highly transcribed genes at loci where this distal methylation pattern is observed. IDH mutant AMLs on the other hand, display a diametrically opposed pattern of aberrant methylation of CpGs, which results in the prefential hypermethylation of CpG islands surrounding TSSs, involving an almost entirely mutually exclusive set of CpGs but also resulting in the downregulation of genes with increased methylation. While it is clear that the generation of the 2-HG metabolite by the mutant forms of IDH1 and IDH2 results in inhibition of the hydroxylation reaction by TET proteins Société Anonyme Turtle blouse Sale Factory Outlet Buy Cheap Collections Fashion Style Sale Online wG2m73AA
, it is as yet unclear why this inhibition results in a promoter-specific hypermethylation pattern, and inhibition of other epigenetic modifiers such as Jumonji C domain histone demethylases by 2-HG Boutique Moschino draped front dress Cheap Sale Excellent tV5j7
may also play a role in determining the aberrant epigenetic profiles of these AMLs. Moreover, it is possible that hydroxymethylation of DNA by TET proteins may depend on other DNA binding partners that direct them to specific genomic sites.
Even though the two AML subtypes were dramatically different, they still shared a core hypermethylated signature including genes previously shown to be almost universally hypermethylated in AMLs
Marni asymmetric backwards fastening shirt Best Place Online Best Store To Get Cheap Price Visit New Cheap Price High-Quality Cheap Buy Cheap Affordable QLMY2vo
. Similar to what had been previously demonstrated in colon cancer murine models [43] , [44] , Broske and colleagues demonstrated that DNA methylation is required to fully transform hematopoietic stem and progenitors, even with a potent oncogene such as MLL-AF9 Moschino Eyewear silver trimmed flat top cateye sunglassess Clearance Footlocker Pictures h5zQdHZGl7
. Taken together, these observations point towards the existence of a core of hypermethylation lesions that are a necessary event during malignant transformation, and that likely cooperate with the underlying genetic events in the different AML subtypes.
Most importantly, abnormal DNA methylation patterning does not occur in a stereotypical manner in cancer, but instead adopts distinct and specific distributions dependent at least in part on genetic background, even when comparing cases of the same tumor type with different driver mutations. Our analysis comparing gene expression and DNA methylation at base-pair resolution across three different sample types demonstrates that epigenetic regulation of gene expression in tumors may at least in part be context dependent, suggesting that cell-type specific factors may come into play to establish and maintain unique regulatory mechanisms in these cells. Finally, the large distances between DMCs and transcription start sites support a potential role for epigenome regulation at distal regulatory elements, via looping or other mechanisms, in directly influencing the specificity of the transcriptional machinery. Taken together our data support the existence of divergent roles of the epigenome in regulating the transcriptional profiles of AML and indicate that altered gene expression is associated with the differential methylation of distinct and non-overlapping CpGs and regions in tumors with different genetic backgrounds. Moreover, in the case of MLLr AMLs, these abnormal regulatory mechanisms extend far beyond the classically described cancer-associated promoter CpG island hypermethylation, and indicate that distal intergenic DNA methylation abnormalities may also have functional consequences in certain tumors. These findings are consistent with those described by other groups which have seen an association between differentially methylated regions at CpG shores in solid tumors and changes in gene expression
. Indeed, these significant regional and CpG specific differences would be unlikely to be captured with any other method except whole genome bisulfite sequencing or methods like ERRBS with unbiased and adequate base-pair resolution detection of CpG methylation. Of note, the gene expression microarrays used in the current study only capture known coding transcripts. Yet the expanded coverage of ERRBS can also provide information on putative regulatory elements of non-coding RNAs as well as information on regulation of alternative promoters. It will be important for future studies perhaps using RNA-seq, to analyze the relationship between aberrant DNA methylation and the expression levels of non-coding RNAs or, the correlation between DNA methylation status at alternative promoters and the expression levels of transcript variants, a regulatory role previously described for DNA methylation

. High resolution comparative studies of genetically characterized primary human tumors using methods that adequately represent the genome at base pair resolution (such as RNA-Seq) may thus yield a wealth of new information on mechanisms driving tumor transcriptional and epigenetic programming and the true scope and nature of aberrant DNA methylation patterning in cancer. Studies integrating more comprehensive transcriptome data with transcription factor binding and histone modification patterns in concert with assays designed to explore chromosomal structure will yield further insight into such mechanisms.

PCR products were isolated using AMPure XP beads per manufacturer's recommended protocol (Agencort) into 50 µl of EB buffer. viii) All amplified libraries underwent quality control steps including using Qubit 1.0 fluorometer and a Quant-iT dsDNA HS Assay Kit for quantitation (Invitrogen) and bioanalyzer visualization (Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer).
The Lobbying Disclosure Act, as amended, ( 2 U.S.C. § 1601 et. seq., referred to hereinafter as the "LDA") states that the Secretary of the Senate and the Clerk of the House of Representatives shall (1) provide guidance and assistance on the registrations and reporting requirements of this Act and develop common standards, rules, and procedures for compliance with this Act; [and] (2) review, and, where necessary, verify and inquire to ensure the accuracy, completeness, and timeliness of registrations and reports.
The LDA does not provide the Secretary or the Clerk with the authority to write substantive regulations or issue definitive opinions on the interpretation of the law. The Secretary and Clerk have, from time to time, jointly issued written guidance on the registration and reporting requirements. This document is a compilation of all previously issued guidance documents and supersedes all previous guidance documents.
This combined guidance document does not have the force of law, nor does it have any binding effect on the United States Attorney for the District of Columbia or any other part of the Executive Branch. To the extent that the guidance relates to the accuracy, completeness, and timeliness of registrations and reports, it will serve to inform the public as to how the Secretary and Clerk intend to carry out their responsibilities under the LDA.
This revision includes updated registration thresholds reflecting changes in the Consumer Price Index.
As required by the LDA, the lobbying disclosure thresholds referenced throughout the Guidance have been updated to reflect changes in the Consumer Price Index (as determined by the Secretary of Labor) during the preceding 4-year period. After January 1, 2017, an organization employing in-house lobbyists is exempt from registration if its total expenses for lobbying activities does not exceed and is not expected to exceed $13,000 during a quarterly period. The $3,000 income threshold for lobbying firms remains unchanged.

I am thinking of doing a day of coordinator for my wedding, is it worth the money? If you had a day of coordinater (or wedding planner in general) how much did they charge and what did they take care of?
I am thinking of doing a day of coordinator for my wedding, is it worth the money? If you had a day of coordinater (or wedding planner in general) how much did they charge and what did they take care of?
I think it depends on your wedding. My package included a coordinator but not for the ceremony. I didn't think it was worth the money to hire someone for a few hundred dollars to just help with the ceremony, so I had my aunt help out with lining everyone up. Other than that the officiant ran the show so it was fine. During the reception, our coordinator got everything set up and worked with all the vendors and then our DJ ran the timeline and would announce when things were going to be. If we didn't have someone coordinating at the beginning and helping set up tables, keeping things moving, working with the cateror, dj, florist, and cake then I for sure would have hired someone. I wouldn't have wanted the stress of trying to set up and keep to the timeline myself.
@MissBridge: I'll let you know after February 8th.
We're having a formal (but relatively simple) 60 person wedding. It's not something I would think you would need a coordinator for. No first dance, no grand entrace with introductions, etc…. But my mom is in the driver's seat with our wedding and she wanted one so she plonked down the $1100 to get one.
I'm little miss organized sunshine so I have no clue what this coordinator is going to do that I can't. But….we'll see.
I have a day of coordinator hired, she's been pretty rude so far and hard to communicate with….so I'll decide if she was worth it after the 18th!
I planned my wedding myself with no coordinator, best money saves as far as I'm considered. I had originally thought maybe I'd need a DOC but once I started getting into planning I realized it wasn't hard, I had faith in my vendors, and I wasn't stressed.
My wedding was 145 people, budget of about $30,000. Nobody was "bugging" me about details on the day of. The only thing I forgot was the final payment for the dj, but he was totally cool about it and I just gave it to him next day. it really isn't that hard to pull it all together, as long as you don't get stressed easy, and you're organized going into it.
I voted that we had a day-of coordinator, but really she did more than that. My mom's friend is a wedding planner so she helped us out a lot and just charged us what she had to pay for items. She rented the tables, chairs, and linens for us, and provided the silverware, plates, catering warming tray things, table for the 'altar' outside, and a bunch of other stuff from her own stuff. She got everything in and set up the day before the wedding and then coordinated with vendors to get all their stuff set up the day of the wedding. She was with us for the rehearsal and showed us how to do the logistics of the entrance and setup of the ceremony.
So basically, she was freakin' amazing and I have NO idea how we would have done it without her. Even if we had paid her, it would have been worth every penny.
I don't think its necessary to have a full-on wedding planner, but to have someone coordinating the logistics and especially vendors day-of is invaluable.
I had a "week of coordinator" and it was NOT worth my money. I was way more coordinated than she was, I don't even think she looked at the 3 page Word file I sent with detailed instructions on how the day was supposed to go. Everything I expressed to her as a concern, she said she would take care of and in the end she didn't. A total waste of my money. I should have spent the $1,000 on hiring three people to set up/break down the venue instead. I should have known that it wasn't going to work out well when she kept asking me for the same information but using different methods of contact (email, text, phone calls).
The day of coordinators in my area want to charge close to $1000, and since my reception venue already came with one, I didn't think it would be worth it to have one for the ceremony. I think we'll be just fine.
The venue provides the day of co-ordinator. My mother has been doing most of the leg-work (she helped to plan my sister's wedding last year), and narrowed -down the list of possible vendors, so we only had to meet with one or two, for each type.
My wedding planner was worth her weight in gold. I had a destination wedding, so having someone who actually knew the location and the vendors was invaluable. All I had to do was send her pictures of things I liked, and she made it happen, and it was perfect.
@MissBridge: I have a wedding coordinator at my reception venue. No one at the Church. I think it all depends on you and what kind of wedding you have. Perhaps if you are incredibly busy and/or are a very disorganized couple and/or are having an incredibly elaborate wedding then it is worth it. I don't see the point otherwise. Our wedding is on the smaller side (78 guests) and we are opting for a very simple (not much on all the details) yet elegant wedding so we feel it would not be worth the money for us.
We had a month-of coordinator and she was worth her weight in gold. She spent hours with us in the month leading up to the wedding, getting inside of my head to know every detail and nuiance of my vision. 9 days before our wedding I got a call that my grandfather was at the end. It was time to say goodbye. So I called my DOC, told her it was all in her hands, and went to take care of my family. While I was dealing with funeral homes, she was touching base with all of my vendors for final confirmation. While I was grieving, she was planning where different decor items would go and reaching out to check on me. And on our wedding day she made sure everything stayed on schedule, went out and got me a new crochet hook to button and unbutton my dress when I realized I had forgotten mine at home, worked with our florist and venue when our venue changed the entire set-up schedule without warning, set-up all of our non-floral decor (card cage, guestbook frame, family photos, etc.), organized family members for a smooth portrait session, handled our iPod music for the ceremony/cocktail hour/reception, and basically gave me the ability to relax and enjoy myself because I knew she had everything under control. If your DOC is good, you won't even know the myriad hiccups he/she handles on your behalf. They work in the background so that the couple and family members can relax and enjoy the moment.
I wish I'd had a DOC.
I'm not sure I would have needed her beyond the day but it would have been nice to have someone to follow up on details. There were some little things we forgot to do like put a pen with the guest book and I'd ordered corsages for my mom and Mother-In-Law to be delivered to the venue and forgot to give it to them.
The topic 'Is it worth it?' is closed to new replies.

For the 42 years she has lived in Deshler Park, Barbara Smoak has had to walk on the streets in her neighborhood.
For the 42 years she has lived in Deshler Park, Barbara Smoak has had to walk on the streets in her neighborhood.
Her part of the South Side has no sidewalks.
But by September, she and her neighbors will have at least one safe place to walk: a half-mile stretch along E. Deshler Avenue. Construction will start today.
"We've been trying to get this for a while," said Smoak, vice president of the Deshler Park Civic Association. "The kids play ball here. They're running back and forth, and they need a sidewalk."
The $4 million the city is spending citywide this summer is the largest outlay on pedestrian projects since 2007, when budget problems started to squeeze off improvement projects. In all, 18 new sidewalks will total 9.2 miles.
"In 2009, we didn't build any sidewalks," said Public Service Department spokesman Rick Tilton. "Last year, there were a few projects, but we didn't build nearly as many."
High-volume areas near schools, recreation centers or bus stops were the priority. An estimated 50 percent to 60 percent of the city does not have sidewalks.
"There are sidewalks all around the city that could use improvements," said Dan Williamson, spokesman for Mayor Michael B. Coleman.
Twelve of the 18 sites are south of I-70. Only one is north of I-270.
The city has more money this year for sidewalks because of the improving economy and the income-tax increase that Columbus voters approved in 2009. In addition to paying for sidewalks, about $635,000 of the $4 million for pedestrian projects is allotted for new features at Weinland Park and medians in Harrison West.
Four other sidewalk projects started this month, including three sites about a mile north of the Deshler improvements. Two sites are on Cole Street, and one is on Mooberry Street. The city is also adding a sidewalk along Lane Avenue near the Ohio State University area.
Other major roadways that will have sidewalks added include Kenny Road, Livingston Avenue, Nelson Road and Refugee Road. Several smaller arterial roads also will be renovated.
Residents of Deshler Park say sidewalks will improve the neighborhood.
"Anything the city does is definitely going to help our property values," said Deshler Park Area Commissioner Connie Boykins. "All of this is going to stop (the neighborhood) from deteriorating."
Boykins said the civic association has been asking the city for sidewalks for three years, for both safety purposes and to encourage better maintenance of the area.
Coleman said many other areas are facing similar issues, since city development rules for several decades did not require sidewalks.
"This is part of our city transforming," Coleman said at a groundbreaking ceremony in Deshler Park yesterday. Columbus "needs a great deal of infrastructure."

We believe that small and medium sized businesses shouldn't have to sacrifice high quality printing on account of a tight budget. Even if you operate your business out of your home office, you shouldn't have to settle for anything less than professional grade color printing, scanning, copying, and faxing.
Enter our newest A4 multifunction color printer, the ProXpress C2680FX. This all-in-one printer matches high-performance hardware with cost-saving apps and features, giving you the quality you expect, along with the flexibility of customizing your printing solutions.
Performance and Quality You Can Rely On
Dual-core CPU & Dual-scan Document Feeder
Small businesses depend on employee efficiency. Everyone has to multitask, and that means you need equipment that can keep up. The ProXpress C2680FX's 1 GHz dual-core processor ensures a print speed of up to 26 pages per minute that doesn't lag even with high-volume print jobs. The dual-scan document feeder scans up to 60 images per minute, which equates to a page being scanned every second.
Rendering Technology
There's no sacrificing quality either. Samsung's unique ReCP technology prints high-resolution text and graphics at 9,600 x 600 dpi (dots per inch)*. Focus is sharpened automatically and solid objects are overlapped to eliminate white gaps.
*in enhanced mode (option resolution is 600 x 600 dpi)
Flexible Solutions that Bring You Savings
eXtensible Open Architecture Platform & Diverse Solutions
Samsung uses its unique eXtensible Open Architecture (XOA) platform to enable its clients to use not only Samsung solutions but also partners' and independent software vendor developers' products.
The ProXpress C2680FX comes with XOA-E (XOA-Embedded), allowing full customization of print management without the need for a server. Install the solutions you want directly on the printer to extend functionalities. For instance, you can implement an output management solution to set limits on color printing, saving costs.
NFC Authentication & Mobile Printing
With NFC technology* embedded in the hardware, the ProXpress C2680FX supports remote user authentication and secure mobile printing. Besides convenience and security, user-authenticated pull printing** gives you the chance to think twice before releasing a print job that might, in retrospect, be a waste of resources.
*NFC Pro is an optional feature
**Secure pull printing can be activated with Samsung's in-house solution, BCPS 1.2
The ProXpress C2680FX is subtle in appearance but powerful in its performance. With this A4 multifunction printer, you can enjoy enterprise-level features without breaking the bank. The easily customizable solutions also provide flexible options for cost-effective use and maintenance. As your business's needs evolve, the solutions can be freely adjusted or replaced, giving you just what you need, when you need it.

Conquering the Beast
One of the most grueling ascents of the Tour de France, Mont Ventoux is a glorious weekend retreat for amateur riders, with long rest stops and scenic vistas
THE BARREN PEAK of Provence's Mont Ventoux has a fearsome reputation among professional cyclists, but the Giant of Provence is also proof of the great cycling truism: Anyone with a bike can ride the same mountains as cycling's heroes.
The Tour de France will return to Ventoux for the 15th time this summer, bringing with it enormous crowds. But even outside of those raucous days, the area remains the perfect place to make your own breakaway, offering everything from medieval architecture to mountain-reared pork and lamb,...

The Canyon Sponsoring Program
To understand Canyon's commitment to racing, you have to go back to where it all started. 30 years ago, Canyon Founder & CEO, Roman Arnold, was a prolific campaigner on the local road and track racing scenes. In the hours after school, Roman would put himself to work in his parents' garage building up and selling frames and parts his father sourced from trips to Italian component manufacturers. This is how Roman financed his passion for racing. This is how Canyon was born.
As riders, we understand the commitment it takes to go racing week in, week out. Putting in the hard work in training is one thing, but the costs of equipment, travel, entry and license fees also add up. To make it all a little easier, we created the Canyon Sponsoring Program, offering a selection of our most popular mountain bike and road racing machines at reduced prices to all riders in possession of a valid racing license.
The following table shows all the models that are available through our Sponsoring Program:

Two Ways To Play: Short Circuit
Strengthen your portfolio in good times and bad.
For the first quarter, the company said net income fell $1.00 per share, above expectations of -$1.07 per share. Net sales fell 7.4% to $2.3 billion largely inline with forecasts of $2.37 billion. The company also added that sales for stores open more than a year fell 11% with a 12% decline in the U.S. offsetting 10.5% growth internationally. In addition the company suspended its dividend to preserve cash which fell 75% from the prior year's level.
Going forward, Circuit City expects sales to remain flat with same-store figures continuing to decline in the mid-single digits.
From the Bull Pen: Bulls can likely look elsewhere for long exposure. Wal-Mart (WMT) may be an option as it pulls back to the $55 level.
From the Bear Cave: Circuit City's story shows the difficulties retailers are facing. The easy trade may be over but Best Buy (BBY) might still be an option for a downside play.
Have a great night!

Sometimes the easiest way to get a point across is using an analogy everybody knows. And everybody knows "Star Wars." That's probably why Priscilla J. Smith, a senior fellow at the Information Society Project at Yale Law, used it to make a point about the revealing power of location tracking in a recent paper.
This passage (which ascribes some pretty surprising behavior to prequel characters) was in an article about privacy protections after US v. Jones, a Supreme Court case about warrant requirements for GPS tracking, published by the North Carolina Journal of Law & Technology this spring:
"Imagine that Chancellor Palpatine — the Star Wars character and virtuous Senator from Naboo who is really the evil Darth Sidious in disguise — sets out to discredit the Jedi and their puny Senate supporters so that he can monopolize power. He orders a tracking device that relays information back to giant computers that produce reports about the Jedi's locations to be placed on all their space ships. He discovers Anakin's relationship with Senator Amidala, that Obi Wan buys and sells bulk cartons of "death sticks" despite being a spokesperson against them, and that Senator Amidala (despite her relationship with Anakin) also frequents a lesbian bar called Sisters with some friends from her planet Naboo.
He also finds out that Mace Windu and Yoda take out their spaceships and speed through Coruscant's back alleys for fun. He uses this information to undermine his targets and turn them against each other. All the characters resist his blackmail, except for one: Anakin."

Ruling right on Derry
In the story about San Bernardino County Supervisor Neil Derry being denied the ballot designation "Supervisor/Businessman," Derry states, "My goal was to be honest and open with how I make my money …" ("Judge rules against Derry in ballot issue," March 27).
Too bad Derry couldn't have been "honest and open" before he pleaded guilty to a violation of failing to report a campaign contribution while he was doing his job as county supervisor.
William Graham
Column abuses legislators
I object to Dan Bernstein's political hatchet job against some state lawmakers over the issue of ballot designations ("Thumbs up for no fingerprints!" March 27).
Yes, Assemblyman Kevin Jeffries did receive Legislator of the Year awards from the nonpartisan Regional Council of Rural Communities and the California State Firefighters' Association.
If Jeffries were trying to hide them, they wouldn't be on his website. Jeffries' entire resume is posted. Yet Bernstein accuses him and others of resume "fudging."
Jeffries opposed raising vehicle, income and sales taxes. He's fighting to remove yet another illegal fee for 800,000 homeowners for fire prevention services. If this is being an obstructionist, we support it.
Yes, Jeffries has been a small business owner for the past 30 years, and has always stated as much in his ballot statements. It's one reason we voted for him.

Be fair on health care
If it's determined to be unconstitutional for the government to mandate that its citizens purchase health insurance, then is it not unconstitutional to require hospitals and medical professionals to treat patients who are irresponsible and don't voluntarily purchase health insurance ("Without key piece, health law imperiled," March 29)?
If mandatory health insurance is deemed unconstitutional, will it continue to be the obligation of those who are responsible and purchase health coverage to continue to pay higher and higher insurance rates to cover those who are uninsured? Is it constitutional for those who are personally responsible to pay for those who want to exercise their constitutional right to purchase a daily six-pack of beer, cigarettes or Krispy Kremes, instead of purchasing health insurance?
This being said, there are the truly poor, and those who through no fault of their own have medical conditions that insurance companies will not cover. Where do they go for health care?
If we are a nation that takes care of its brothers, and it's proper to make sure that all Americans have access to medical care, then isn't health care unique? And isn't it unselfish and rational to require everyone to pay his or her fair share?
Steve Jones
It's war on medical pot
At a recent Mayor's Night Out, I asked two questions. What are the expenses of closing our marijuana cooperative on North Main Street, and where will patients go? I was told Riverside expects it to be shut by December. No mention of costs.
The following day, a friend in Upland told me her best friend, who is 79, has brain cancer. Her doctor won't increase her pain medication as it might be deadly, so she's willing to try marijuana. But facilities in her area have been shut.
Right-wing law enforcement, working with the Obama Justice Department, is destroying medical marijuana initiatives in many states. And the elderly woman? She's allowed to grow her own.

Because whatever does that? I have it.
Started last Monday now. Thought it was food poisoning. Nausea, light-headed, hot flashes. And then some chills too. Strangest thing was that even as Monday and Tuesday and Wednesday and Thursday went by without me eating very much if anything, I wasn't feeling bad. Usually I need to eat every few hours or risk getting a bit shaky, unfocused irritable. For days though I had no interest in food, and wasn't feeling particularly unhappy about it. When I do eat...my body's not particularly pleased about it, if you know what I mean. varying levels of gastric disturbances ensue.
Not normal for me. I can usually eat like a truck driver no matter how sick I am.
Sometime around Wednesday I started getting this nagging little cough. Dry, but constant. Which over this long weekend has blown up into a big. miserable, hacking cough that keeps me from good sleep and is starting to give me very sore abs. Still dry, though. Not a lot of mucus roiling around in there.
Sore throat came and went over 48 hours. Right ear ached and felt like I'd just landed from a flight without clearing my ear, but that's clearing up.
What isn't clearing up too well is the cough. And the occasional swing between being hot and being cold. And the gastric rebellion if I dare to eat. And, for that matter, the lack of any appreciable appetite. I'm eating because I oughta, not because I wanna.
So, amateur (or, hey, professional) diagnosticians. What do you think?

A Club for Train Horn Lovers
I just can't get enough of Train Horns Unlimited! I first discovered the site when I was on the hunt for a train horn to be added to my car, and after lots of searching, I found it and became a happy customer. I bought a standard train horn from them and put it in my car. This was the first time I ever installed anything in my car, but it certainly wouldn't be the last. The sound of the horn was so satisfying that I showed it to all my friends and family. Some of them were annoyed to hear the horn, but others love it. It reminded them of the classic train sound that they don't get to hear anymore because they usually take the subway.
I wanted to experience the other horns they had on their site, so I bought another train horn. This horn was based on European trains and it had a different sound the horns that Americans are used to hearing. Choosing a favorite among the horns that I've tried so far is pretty hard, but I really like the European sound.
It turns out that in my area, there is a club for people who like train horns. I hadn't seen anything about this club before, but apparently they existed for many years, and I was their newest member. They all discussed the train horns they had in their cars and what other new horns they heard about. They even talked about the national train horn convention. It was a surprise to me that other train horn lovers were in the country, had their own club, and even had a convention for it. I went to my first convention later that year, and had a fun time. It was nice meeting new people and seeing new horns.Read More »

Siri subtly shifts smartphone allegiance
No longer nominates Nokia kit
Conspiracy theorists and Apple haters, rejoice! Siri, Cupertino's iPhone 4S voice assistant, is no longer suggesting the Nokia Lumia 900 WinPho handset might be the best cellphone.
As we reported earlier, that's the recommendation that Siri has been making of late. Siri checks Wolfram's Alpha database for the information, and Alpha, having looked up the number of top-scoring customer reviews on Best Buy's website, would tell Siri to suggest the Lumia 900:
No longer. Siri, which is a server-based technology and therefore much easier for Apple to adjust that would be the case if it was entirely client side, now responds to the question with scorn.
We heard that the question 'What's the best smartphone?' would generate a different answer than before, but that's not the question originally put to Siri. So we found an iPhone 4S and asked 'What's the best cell phone?'
Again, Siri was not impressed:
Not, perhaps, the answer you might expect, but certainly not one that points you in the direction of rival product. Still, by not explicitly answering 'the Apple iPhone' or even 'the one in your hand', it would seem Apple would prefer we didn't take the change as a sign of its manipulation of the results Siri present.
Shame, because now we know that it does. ®

- Wedding: May 2013
Ive used this board for quite awhile before and after my wedding. Now I need some advice of my own…. New job. I love it. 9 month probation period. My husband and I put off baby trying when I first started to get through the probationary period first. Two months into the job, and last night, I had a feeling so I took a test. It looks like I'm about 2 weeks..
I want to be insanely excited because we both wanted a baby so bad.. but I dont know how to handle my work. You get 3 reviews. 3 months. 6 months. And 8 months.I've only gotten praises from my boss, but I'm afraid it will be used against me once they know. When should I wait to tell them? I won't be able to take much of a maternity leave so thats not an issue. We need the money.. my insurance is amazing. I dont want to screw this up but I want to be happy to at an exciting time. I did the math and ill be about 6.5 months by my probationary end, and will be most likely showing.
any advice?

Children Forced To Learn Muslim Prayers, School Administrators Claim It's Just Cultural Immersion
Children go to school to learn how to be functioning adults in the world. We are taught how to read, write, and apply different methods to solving some situations that we are presented with. As much as kids may not like going to school, it's absolutely necessary.
That being said, there are some things that should never be taught in school, like how to create drugs, bombs or anything related to violence. So could someone please explain why children in our schools are being taught how to pray to Allah?
Yes, you read that correctly. A video was released showing children being taught how to pray in a mosque. Needless to say, the parents of the children are incredibly upset, as they should be. Would you really want your child taught something from a religion that blows people up?
The mosque in question is called the Ghulzar e Madina and is frequented by radical preachers from Pakistan. This is not good at all.
Seriously, when do these people ever ask politely to do something? Just to prove this point, one of the radical preachers was identified as M Anas Noorani Siddiqui, who actively promoted the death penalty for those who insult Muhammad. If that wasn't bad enough, he said, "non-Islamic Dutch behave like dogs and b****s."
The video shows an imam explaining how Muslims pray. As if that wasn't bad enough, the boys and girls were separated, with boys on one side of the room and girls on the complete other side. It's like they are poisoning the minds of the children just to shove what they are teaching down our throats.
The children, whom are thought to be Christians, are told to put their "elbows on the ground" and "hands close to the ears." Essentially they are being taught how to pray the Islamic way and use what they have learned to tell their friends.
This video was taken last year, but it was brought up again after Harm Beertema, an MP for Geert Wilders' far-right Freedom Party mentioned it. She said it was time that schools stop participating in "politically-correct activities." It's not even "politically-correct" at this point; it's pure poison!
That isn't what the Dutch curriculum states thought. They say children have to "learn the main points about the religions which play a big role in the multicultural Dutch society." What's next, teaching them how to strap bomb vents to their chests to create suicide bombers?
Just think about this for a second. Children are the future of the planet. What they are taught they are going to end up passing down to their children and so on and so forth. So if these children continue to be taught how to pray to Allah, simply because the school deems it as learning about cultures, then they are going to pass it down to their children.
Soon enough, there are going to be more and more children turning to Islam. This is just the start of a domino effect until eventually Islam takes over the entire world. Literally terrorist groups are licking their lips at the thought of schools forcing students to learn about their "culture" and religion.
That way it will be easier to recruit them and turn them into Islamic extremists. This is all because the liberal ideology that makes sure children and other people are sensitive of other people's cultures. Not to mention that if you don't want to learn it, they bombard you with statements saying you're racist or sexist or anything similar to that.
This system of political correctness is just playing into the hands of the terrorists. It's dumbfounding how these liberals can't seem to understand that. It's simple English. If you see that something is causing something bad to happen, you stop the original action.
In other words, if you see that children are being forced to learn Islamic prayers, you shouldn't be surprised to see a couple of them being recruited by ISIS. So how do you stop that? You don't let the child learn the prayer in the first place! It's THAT simple!
I also find it hard to understand why anyone would want to learn about a religion that puts women to death for simply going to the market without her husband. Oh wait, that JUST happened! A Muslim woman was executed for the crime of shopping and leaving her house without a male relative. Who wouldn't want to learn about this religion? Anyone with a brain of course.
The other thing is that when these children grow up, they are going to start demanding action from other countries. Students sent a list of 64 demands, one of which included having a Muslim prayer room in every building.
Share this article to show that our children are starting to have their minds poisoned. They are being forced to learn Muslim prayers and the school curriculum is fine with that.
Do you want your children learning about this? What would you do if you came home and heard your kids were forced to bow to Allah?

Figure that 133.4 million people watched the Super Bowl. Figure that 133 million ignored the call in Intel's whodunit spot to vote on the Web to determine what spot Intel would run in the fourth quarter. But given that some 17 million U.S. homes are hooked up to the Web, Intel ad boss Ann Lewnes says, the votes translate into a respectable 2.3% response rate for homes with Web access. "We were really happy with the numbers," Lewnes says. "We saw that we could actually generate action on the part of a viewer to go out and do something without an offer and in [the middle of] an incredibly exciting [game]. Those things demonstrate that this is a formula that can work, not just for Intel, but obviously more broadly." Such as? "If J.R. were shot today, it might have been interesting to see what Internet respondents would have said and have that person actually be the murderer." Intel is scoping other ways to mesh Web and TV ads. One interesting move by the tech trendsetter: Intel last year yanked its Web address from its ongoing TV campaigns. "Our URL is our name," Lewnes says. "We figure people are smart enough to find `intel.com.' "
Si gloms on
to "Glamour"
Conde Nast CEO Si Newhouse's public conversation usually is limited to quiet chats over a meal with his editors and publishers. But last week he stood before a microphone in front of 700 people at NY's Waldorf-Astoria to present a Henry Johnson Fisher lifetime achievement award to Glamour's Ruth Whitney. Si drew chuckles with his opening remarks, noting, "There's a rumor I'm not a comfortable public speaker. It's not true." Why, Si noted, he gave a public speech before this very crowd only 15 years ago. He got the biggest laugh, however, when he said Glamour's close connection with its readers was perhaps best portrayed by the episode of "Seinfeld" in which the character George is caught, um, interacting with the glossy monthly. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
Something for
her, not him
So where might Bill C. buy gifts for Monica L. if he were so inclined? Consider a commercial SF's Citron Haligman Bedecarre did in 1996 for Macy's. In the spot, you see the backs of three men in an elevator, presumably Clinton and two Secret Service suits. An elevator operator opens the door at different floors, for things like housewares or electronics, but the trio doesn't budge. When the lift rings at the lingerie floor, the three get off.
Just Blue it . . .
life with Roseanne
Some readers were startled to hear Nike's Super Bowl apparel spot use a bit of music first heard in a spot years ago from then-stodgy Big Blue. "Nike imitating IBM. What has the world come to?" one e-mailer asked. . . . One of Steve Davis' first tasks as Wells' new CEO was going to meet the clients. On the list: Steve Davis. That's the head of marketing at Heineken USA. Right name, but Heineken could be a beer bust for Wells as other shops try to break in. . . . Buffeted by Roseanne? Tom Arnold, appearing at NFL Properties' awards gig, on being married to his ex: "It pays $10 million, and it's all you can eat."

Miitomo fans, we have some bad news for you. Nintendo has shut down the social app just two years after its launch.
Miitomo was the Japanese game giant's first smartphone app, but despite the hype that surrounded its March 2016 arrival, as well as the backing of an outfit like Nintendo, it failed to win the hearts of the masses.
Nintendo said it stopped selling Miitomo coins on January 24, and disabled the app on Wednesday, May 9, disabling all of its features.
Attempting to sign into the app and link your Nintendo account will now result in you receiving an error message noting that Miitomo is undergoing "maintenance."
Sidekick Mii characters have been deleted, unless you chose to save them as a QR code prior to May 9. You can then transfer them to Mii Maker on the Nintendo 3DS or the WiiU, Nintendo said.
Any Miifotos that you wanted to keep also must have been saved to your smartphone prior to the shutdown. Nintendo recently released the winning entries in its final "Miifoto" contest on Twitter, showing users' best memories with the app. The winners include silly shots with friends, as well as more heartfelt and sentimental images reflecting on good memories with the app. We swear we're not tearing up over here.
The Kyoto, Japan-based company didn't offer a reason for why it ended support for its avatar-based social app, but evidently, it now wants to put its resources into its newer mobile game offerings such as Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp.
In our review of Miitomo soon after its launch, Digital Trends found the app "interesting and fun," but we certainly weren't bowled over by it, calling it out for its "lack of any dedicated purpose or utility in the real world." We also found that it drained our phone's battery much faster than other apps, and used up a lot of storage space, too.
While Miitomo made some gains with a big update in November 2016, that and subsequent improvements clearly weren't enough to propel the app to great heights, leading to Nintendo's decision to discontinue it.
Updated on May 10: The app has been shut down.

Fred Harvey
Harvey Houses
Fred Harvey worked for the railroad in the 1860's, traveling to various places, where work took him. For Fred the food service in most eateries back then was less than adequate. When he would return to his office there were complaints of being on the road and having bad food. So Fred took it upon himself to change that, with a partner. Two restaurants were opened at main railroad stops out west. The very first Harvey Restaurants were built in hotels at Wallace Kansas and Hugo Colorado on the Kansas Pacific Railroad, 1872.
A Harvey House and the Harvey Girls tend to be synonymous with the Santa Fe Railroad. After the early success with other restaurants along various rail lines, The Santa Fe RR offered a contract to Harvey to build restaurants along their rail line. By this time the partnership had broken up and Fred Harvey was no long employed by a railroad. He was now opening a chain of restaurants across the country that would bear his name.
The restaurants were situated in Hotels and soon these would be replaced by new hotels and some bore his name. The Harvey houses dotted the southwest at other places besides the railroad. Some were at other railroads and a few were in National Parks. Today a few of the old Harvey Houses still stand and some are museums or refurbished into new uses.
The first two restaurants of Fred Harvey met their demise when railroading policy changed. Crew change points were shifted and much of the railroad business the first hotels and restaurants relied on was gone. Wallace had been a town of over 4000 souls, with changes on the Smoky Hill Trail and the railroad, the workers of Wallace moved on to the next railhead and soon it was a shell of what had been. Today Wallace has a population of less than 100 souls and the Wallace hotel is long gone. The Kansas Pacific office building still stands; otherwise it is ghosts that wander through the now empty town.
The nearby museum of Ft Wallace has new display in a back warehouse that has recreated the town of Wallace using store fronts. The Wallace Hotel that housed the first Fred Harvey in Kansas is one of the fronts that has been built. It is like walking down the streets of the old railroad town with all the different stores and shops from that era.
Hugo does not a display of any kind for where the first Harvey House was. Roughly where the hotel had been, there is now an old empty gas station and the sign for Hugo. Short distance east is where the Roundhouse had been, now a swimming pool occupies the land. The depot is next block over and preserved as a community center. The street one block north of this is lined with small old homes where the early rail workers and others lived. Most of the homes on the north side date 1870-74 and that era. The other side is the newer homes built where the railroad had their buildings. Hugo has an original roundhouse on the SW side of town that is being restored and maybe there they will do something with the Hugo Harvey House.
Both little towns were connected by the railroad and then by the first Harvey house. Both sit astride the Smoky Hill Trail and had stage stops. Today the railroad still sends the occasional train down the rails. No longer is it the whistle echoing across the high plains with a cloud of smoke overhead. The air horns of the diesel have replaced the whistle of the steam engines but the lore still whispers across the land.

Occurrence of bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) in the Río Negro Estuary, Argentina, and their mid-distance movements along the northeastern Patagonian coast
A systematic study was carried out on bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) in the Río Negro Estuary (RNE), Patagonia, Argentina, to analyze their occurrence and activity patterns in this region. The photo-identification data of this study was further compared to data from an adjacent region to gain information on the animals' movements along the northeastern Patagonian coast. Information was gathered through land-based observations between the
months of March and July of 2008 up to 2011. Data on dolphin activity patterns were collected via an ad libitum focal-group sampling mode. At the same time, dorsal fin images were obtained from as many dolphins as possible for
identification and subsequent re-identification of individuals. Total effort equaled 188h, resulting in 58h of observation of 124 dolphin groups [sightings per unit effort (SPUE) = 0.66 group/h]. Most of the groups observed contained between one and five individuals, and two main activity states could be determined, namely traveling (65%) and foraging (26%). The photo-identification effort, which started opportunistically in 2006, resulted in a catalogue of 17 individual dolphins, with a total mean re-identification rate of nine days (max. = 24 days). When comparing these pictures to the existing catalogue of Bahía San Antonio (BSA; approximately 200km west from the study area) dorsal fins of 15 individuals could be matched and most (n = 12) could be subsequently re-identified in both areas, indicating their long distance movements along the northeastern Patagonian coast during the austral autumn months. This season
coincides with the lowest dolphin abundance and feeding activity in BSA. This study indicates that bottlenose dolphins enter the RNE to forage at least during autumn. It further suggests that the search for food resources is the main trigger for their movement patterns along the northeastern Patagonian coast during this season, at least for certain individuals. More research is needed to accurately confirm these hypotheses.

This is a repost from Tuthanh's blog, the founder of Symphony Themes. The original article is available at: http://tuthanh.com/blog/be-proud-when-you-are-small
What do you think when your team is down from 10+ to 2? Move from a 100m2 office full of office equipments to a 20m2 simple one?
I started the 2011 year with a large office, a team of 10 staffs including developers, designers and an accountant, chasing a dream of becoming a large technology company with different cool products. After a year, I have 2 permanent staffs including me, moved to a much smaller office and focus on one or two projects only.
Many people call it a setback. I call it an advantage.
In these recent weeks, I still wonder can I continue this stuff for long. In everybody's mind, you look great when you have more people. When people ask you about your company size, I reply "20-30 staffs", they often say "Wow, great". Now I say "2 staffs", they say something to show their politeness.
And when I read the 37signal's book "Rework", it eases my mind. It said:
"Don't be insecure about aiming to be a small business. Anyone who runs a business that's sustainable and profitable, whether it's big or small, should be proud."
Yes, why...

Living room or dining room curtains need not be as heavy duty as a bedroom curtains as they need to let light in so the material doesn`t have to be as thick as there is found in bedrooms. Modern houses today the windows are quite large so they can look very decorative bunched up tied up either side of the window people like curtains in living rooms and dining room to fit in how they have decorated the rooms.
We can broadly categorize curtains in two ways - by style and by fabric. While curtains are used at different places for different purposes, they tend to be categorized by the use they are going to be put into. You can use only a plastic or chemical quoted plastic curtain in a hospital or shower stall where it come into contact with water frequently. Likewise, you cannot use stylish or fancy curtains in your bed room or drawing room.
We will first start with a kid`s bedroom. One of best curtains to use in a kid`s room are blackout curtains. Blackout curtains will block out all the light in the windows. Sunlight proves to be a big distraction in the morning and during nap times for kids. There are a few options in blackout curtains that are not only functional but stylish as well. You can find cotton blackout curtains in some nice contemporary styles that are suitable for both boys and girls. There are fancier yet affordable options such as faux silk blackout curtains. These curtains are more suitable for young girls and teens. You can also find some blackout roman shade curtains that will fit inside of the window itself for a neat appearance.
