Kahaani abhi baki hai. Parambrata Chatterjee and Sujoy Ghosh, who had movie buffs sitting up and taking note of their hit jodi after the Vidya Balan starrer hit bullseye last year, might just continue with their dream team beyond the much-talked about franchise. If industry insiders are to be believed, Sujoy is set to produce Param's next directorial venture, which has been kept tightly under wraps.
While Sujoy's Kahaani 2 is expected to bring back Param as cop Satyaki Sinha, this venture will see the duo collaborate as producer- director. Padmanava Dasgupta, it's heard, has been roped in to write the script. But when TOI got in touch with Sujoy, he promptly denied the news, "Nothing of that sort is happening. In this industry, such rumours float around all the time. That doesn't mean the news is true."
An industry source said, "Yes, Sujoy is indeed producing Param's next venture. The latter is busy with the promotions of his forthcoming film, Haoya Badal, and will soon sit with Sujoy with the script of his next." Param could not be reached till the time of going to press.

Charlotte Claire Dass ~ 8/12/09 ~ Failed Induction & ER Cesarean
In a nutshell, I had the picture perfect pregnancy. I LOVED being pregnant and can't wait to do it again. My due date came and went with no sign of impending labor and no dilation or effacement. I had a NST and a fluid level u/s - both of which I passed with flying colors. But my hospital had a policy that women could not be delivered by a midwife if they went past 41 w 4 days gestation. I was told that if I did not consent to an induction - even though there was nothing wrong with my baby - I would be transferred to OB care and my insurance would likely opt not to cover the hospital stay bc I would be considered AMA. So against my better judgement - even though I cried the whole way to the hospital, I let them induce me. On the max pitocin dosage allowed by the hospital, I had dilated 2 cm in 12 hours. They decided to give me another couple of hours and then turn off the pit and try the induction again the next day if I still had not progressed. We found out later that was a big mistake. After too long at the max dose, my uterus was hyperstimulated. I started contracting very hard for a very long time. My water broke, which ended any discussion of turning the pit off. After that the contractions became longer and closer together - and ultimately developed a pattern of 3, 2 minute long contractions in a row, followed by a 30 second break. I was screaming by the 4th or 5th minute of continuous contracting each time and started vomiting from the pain. My DH asked them to get the midwife bc he was afraid something was wrong. When she came in I was shaking uncontrollably, moaning like a wounded animal, and vomiting. They didn't believe the contraction pattern on the monitor could possibly be correct and decided to put in an internal monitor. The readouts, combined with my physical state led my midwife to believe I was in transition - which didn't make sense bc I was still only 3 cm dilated. She said that she had seen women enter transition at 5cm, and perhaps I was going to go from 3 to complete very quickly. So I labored like that for 90 minutes - in the most intense pain of my life. They kept telling me "this is the shortest phase of labor. It will be over very soon." But it wasn't and it wasn't. After 90 min I could tell everyone was worried. My CNM checked me again and was very concerned to discover I was still at 3. She and my DH disappeared and had a powwow. When they came back they told me that even though a pain med free birth was important to me, they wanted me to consent to an epidural. My CNM wanted to reduce the pit and try to space the contractions out, which she said was going to effectively make me dilate even slower than I already was. I was probably looking at 48 hours or more on the lower level of pitocin - according to her - to dilate completely. She said there was no way I would last that long in the sort of pain I was in. If I wanted to continue trying for a vaginal birth, I should take the epidural and get some rest. I cried the whole time I signed the consent form and the whole time the epi was placed. Then I was forced to lie flat on my back in the bed while it took effect - which took an hour! The contractions were just as intense, just as painful - only I couldn't be in the tub or rock or bounce on my ball or even get someone to push on my back (I had the WORST back labor). It was absolute torture, and I was begging them almost the entire hour to let me up, but I literally couldn't move during the contractions to sit up on my own and no one would help me. They just kept patting me and squeezing my hand and telling me it was OK. When the epidural finally took effect, I was so exhausted that I couldn't open my eyes or speak. I wasn't asleep - but I felt like I was dying I was so incredibly weak. My family all came in to the room to say goodbye bc they were going home to wait it out - since we were told it could take days. My DH went home to walk our dogs bc none of my a-hole relatives would do it for him bc they were "too tired." While he was gone, my contractions continued to intensify, despite turning the pit down. The back up OB would not authorize them to turn it off bc my membranes were ruptured and they didn't want labor to stop. They tried administering some drug to counteract the pit and weaken it's effects, but it didn't work. After about an hour of people coming in and out of the room and me barely coherent enough to understand what was going on, alarms started going off in my room and people came rushing in. My bp had plummeted and the babies hr had dropped. The little ba-boom ba-boom sound that had been my constant source of comfort for 30+ hours by then slowed until I was holding my breath between thuds praying it would start back up again. They turned the audible portion of the monitor off and had me get on my left side while they paged the OR and got my DH on the phone. I was sobbing by then bc I knew they were going to operate and they gave me 10 min with no improvement before they said there was no choice. My CNM explained to me and my DH (on speakerphone as he was hurtling towards the hospital at breakneck speed) that she was afraid my uterus was in danger of rupturing. The contractions were too strong for my body or the baby to endure any longer and bc their attempts to stop them weren't working, they needed to perform a c-section. By then they finally turned the pitocin off so that we could at least wait for my DH to get back (we only lived 15 min from the hospital). I was wheeled off to surgery and he went to gown up. They started before he got in the OR and he walked in and saw the surgery in progress.
Charlotte Claire Dass was born at 4:23am via ER c-section. She was stuck, and they had to use a version of surgical forceps to get her out (from which she has 2 small scars on her head). She came out blue and not crying and was taken immediately to the warmer where the NICU staff was waiting. There was no holding her up over the screen or letting us see her. After what seemed like an eternity, but was actually I'm sure very brief - she started crying. They finally wrapped her up and brought her to us. I was so weak that I couldn't lift my own arms to hold my baby dd that I had waited so long for. The anesthesiologist (who was the last person I wanted to see, but turned out to be one of the best caregivers I had) held the baby against my chest so my DH could lift my hands and help me stroke her face. Dr. Smith brought Claire up to my face so I could kiss her before my DH and the NICU staff took her away. Then in an act of mercy, he injected something into my epidural which made me black out completely. I woke up in the recovery room where I had to stay for observation for an hour before they would let me see Claire - even though she was fine. I found out months after my surgery that my oxytocin receptors had been flooded with pitocin (a documented potential side-effect) and my uterus would not contract after she was born, which caused me to hemorrhage on the OR table. My daughter was 2 hours old before I finally was allowed to see her and hold her.
Immediately following the birth, I had an adverse reaction to duramorph (sp?) - a pain medication administered during the c-section. My skin itched all over like I had been lying in a bed of fire ants, and I was too weak to scratch or even shift positions while nurses tried to bathe my skin in icy water - which is the only thing that made it stop. Well that and nubain - but the nubain only held the burning at bay for 15 min and I could only have it every 2 hours. I drifted in and out of consciousness that entire day. I prayed for the out, because the in was accompanied by the fire-ant burning. I'm told I nursed my dd, but I don't remember it.
The second day Claire developed jaundice. She fell asleep and would not wake up - even when they did her heel sticks to test her bilirubin. She was tube fed formula to try and flush the bilirubin and kept under a bili-blanket in our room. I was finally conscious and able to hold my precious baby, and she wouldn't wake up no matter what we did. It was terrifying.
And the ultimate irony was the pediatrician's assessment. She said that because Claire's birth weight was only 7 lbs 2 oz and she was jaundiced, it was her clinical opinion that Claire was delivered prematurely. Not like she was a preemie or anything, but just that she "wasn't done baking." Which of course I had told everyone prior to the induction - but no one would listen.
Claire also struggled with severe reflux for the first three months of her life because one of her gastric valves was not fully developed at birth. She was very slow to gain weight because of it, but we have been trying to make up for lost time ever since :)
Re: Charlotte Claire Dass ~ 8/12/09 ~ Failed Induction & ER Cesarean
Oh sweetie! What an experience! And what a horrible feeling to know you know what's going on with your body and no one is listening. Have totally been in that boat. :/
Your sweetie is here now, and even if the thought of her birth makes you sad, you know in the long run that what matters is she's here - and so are you.
Things don't always go as planned, and learning something from it might help ease things. It sounds like you had some super pushy people whose main concern was what insurance would pay. Ugh, what a staff. Next time slap someone, maybe you'll feel better. :lol: (Totally joking!! Did you smile? )
Thank you, thank you so much for sharing your story here! I know it took a lot emotionally for you to say and share all of that. Now it's out - let it be done. I'm sure working through your feelings to put down here will help with the healing process, and do know that your story will help others who may end up in the same situation! You are not the first, nor will you be the last. :)
And I love your siggie pic with her laying on your chest! Gorgimus!
Re: Charlotte Claire Dass ~ 8/12/09 ~ Failed Induction & ER Cesarean
Thanks for your story. More people need to be aware of how dangerous induction is. I've been voluntarily induced twice (before I knew better), the first almost resulted in c-section, the second resulted in a premature baby (same as you, not by number of weeks gestation, but develpmentally premature). He ended up spending almost a week in the NICU on a vent.
Re: Charlotte Claire Dass ~ 8/12/09 ~ Failed Induction & ER Cesarean
Wow... Thank you for your story. It just seems like one fumble after another.... I had a c-section (water broke, baby was breech)... and was separated from my baby for 6hrs after birth... it was agonizing. The nurses felt so sorry for me they took a polaroid of him for me to see... I'm going to try for a VBAC this time, and hope to have a better birth experience.

Cologne International School
The Internationale Friedensschule Köln / Cologne International School was founded in 2007 to serve the international as well as the local community of Cologne. Its unique profile as being a multicultural, interreligious, interdisciplinary and inclusive school was quickly embraced and the school has grown steadily since its foundation. We offer quality education in the German and English languages for grades 1-12 and have increased in size from 40 pupils in 2007 to 500 in 2015 with 100 members of staff. Approximately 40 different nationalities are represented within our school community.
With a purpose built campus in a new development in Cologne-Widdersdorf we offer our pupils state of the art facilities with bright, spacious classrooms and niches, interactive whiteboards and laptops, technologically advanced science laboratories, an Olympic-sized gymnasium, a school garden and a climbing wall.
IFK/CIS is a non-profit organisation which is partially funded by the state as a state-approved "Ersatzschule" (primary school and grammar school); the international school is an "Ergänzungsschule."
We are extremely pleased to have gained IB accreditation in 2012 and thus become an IB World School and are now working towards developing our "Oberstufe" and our International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme. In the summer of 2016 we will have our first IB graduates and "Abiturienten."
In the primary school (grades 1-4) the learning objectives of the North Rhine Westphalian and the Cambridge Primary curricula are integrated into the lesson plans, which are based on the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme. With small composite classes of 23 pupils and two homeroom teachers, one German native speaker and one English native speaker, the pupils have truly bilingual education in a small, familiar atmosphere which can best cater to their individual needs. In addition to the core classes, all of our primary pupils learn Spanish, tai chi, kung fu, singing based on the ward method and participate in instrumental lessons.
Pupils of the bilingual grammar school (grades 5-12) continue with the NRW curriculum in small learning groups of 5-11 pupils per tutor and work towards receiving their Abitur. With a minimum average of 8-9 hours of English per week, pupils receive much more intensive English tuition than at public grammar schools. The IB and Cambridge curricula are continued in the international school (grades 5-12), where the language of instruction is English and pupils have at least five hours of German per week. In classes limited to 22, pupils finish the IB PYP in the fifth grade before moving onto the University of Cambridge Secondary I and II programmes, culminating in the International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) in year 10. In years 11 and 12 pupils switch back to the IB Diploma Programme. Instrumental and music lessons as well as foreign language tuition (Spanish, French, Latin and Mandarin) remain an integral part of the secondary school programme.
Throughout the school a focus on interdisciplinary learning and individual progress is maintained, enabling our pupils to best develop to their full potential. Individual and small-group support is offered in the languages (ESL and GSL) as well as the core subjects as needed. Furthermore, pupils can participate in a wide range of extracurricular activities, field trips and exchange programmes, which are supported by the Parent Teacher Association.
Cologne International School

"EU, Kosovo to decide on EULEX mandate"
EULEX's mandate after June 2014 will be determined by EU states in close cooperation with Kosovo authorities, based on a joint assessment of the situation.Source: Tanjug
This is according to EULEX Spokeswoman Irina Gudeljevic, who spoke for Tanjug last week.
"The decision on EULEX's further mandate would be based on joint assessments of the situation and Kosovo needs- by agreement and in a coordinated way," Gudeljevic noted.
Referring to a debate in the Kosovo assembly, she said that it is clear that "parliamentarians and Kosovo authorities want to see some changes when it comes to EULEX's transition."
On Thursday, the assembly in Priština adopted a resolution, urging that EULEX's mandate should not be extended after June 2014, dissatisfied with the way in which the EU Mission is carrying out investigations and war crimes trials.
The resolution on EULEX's role in Kosovo calls on Kosovo authorities to start preparing plans for a transfer of competences from the Mission to Priština as of September.
Commenting on the Kosovo parliament's resolution, Head of the Serbian government's Office for Kosovo and Metohija Aleksandar Vulin said on Friday that no agreement would be valid, if there were no executive role of EULEX.
Vulin said that EULEX did not come to Kosovo because Priština called for that, but because the UN Security Council decided that on the initiative of the Republic of Serbia, and that is the only way in which the decision to end EULEX's mandate could be delivered.
"I would like to make it clear to Priština's officials and the international community that Serbia is not ready to adhere to any agreement without EULEX's executive role. Changes and departure of the Mission would for us mean that agreements are invalid, and that they could not be implemented," Vulin said.

The season has come upon us where everything breaths a sigh of relief. Everyone survived winter and new life blooms. Well, this winter wasn't harsh but it's stil a time to celebrate.
And celebrate people did at Kai-Lin Art's gallery opening for the latest show Bloom.
Beverages poured from both Svdeka Vodka and Duvel. I must say Duvel was a big hit with everyone at the gallery because they could take home the beautiful glasses they drank from. Duvel's owner is a huge art collector and has an annual art competition for designs to go on their promotional glasses.
What's this? Intern Erik and his lovely lady were the bartenders for the evening mixing up wonderful concoctions with Svdeka's original and raspberry flavors. {I gotta say the raspberry is pretty darn good.}
There were many little ones running around durning this show and they really helped keep the atmosphere in the spring spirt. There was a constant flow of people in and out… but never too many at one time. Just enough to make the gallery inviting and not overcrowded to where you could no longer see the art.
The artists featured in this show are old and new. The imagery ranged from complete abstraction, photographic, mix-media and fashion. The artists, as always, intermingled with the crowed and won the hearts of all.
If you have the chance, stop by the lovely gallery in Buckhead and take a stroll amongst the artwork of Bloom. It will be well worth it and less sneezing than the botanical gardens. But hurry, just like spring, Bloom will be gone before you know it. The show lasts from March 30th – May 18th.

|Look Beauty - Loud Lips Rock Candy Shade 3 - Currently £3.50 (Regular price £7.00) available from Superdrug & Look Beauty website here
A couple of weeks ago I saw on Twitter that Look Beauty had 50% off and I had previously owned one of their blushers so I thought I'd try some more of their products. I decided to go for one of their new cream blushers in melon, a lip slick, this lipstick and a powder blusher in flirt. The cream blusher is really, really good I may include it in my future post I've got lined up.
I was really impressed when I opened the box and saw the packaging. The box as you can see above, is quite simple but I love their standard pink themed packaging. I chose the shade Rock Candy Shade 3 which is a bright fuchsia and really translates on the lips. Unfortunately I have a love/hate relationship with this product already. As most of us have in Winter, I have severely dry lips at the moment which doesn't help applying lipsticks but this made my lips look terrible. I had to instantly wipe it off. Another thing I hate is the scent, urgh. Is it just me?! I can't put my finger on it but it's just not nice.
On a positive note, Rock Candy is the perfect Barbie pink shade I like to go for on special occasions, nights out etc but I'm not daring enough to go for it during the day! I'm not going to write off this product just yet as it's kind of my own fault having dry lips, but once they're in better condition I'll wear it again. The pigmentation just isn't creamy enough for me which is a huge negative but for £3.50 you can't complain too much.
Overall a 50/50 review but I'd love to know what you all think. Have you tried Look Beauty's products including the Loud Lips range? What's your recommended products?

Who is going to design this new house? Then, who's going to build it? How will they view our project? How involved can we be? Can this person take our list of must haves and translate that into something REALLY COOL?
In the last post, I noted that we'd done several TMH tours and had started to get a good "feel" for the local architecture scene. TMH is an amazing resource for all things Modern. Between the tours, the website that has amazingly comprehensive listings for homes for sale and the local architects' resumes (both past and present) – we started here.
Hubby and I sat in the couch and had our notepads and dueling laptops, and we went through the listing of Triangle architects one by one, writing our lists with 'definites', and 'maybes'. After we completed that exercise – we compared notes. Anyone that made both our 'definites' made the short list. Where we both had 'maybes', we discussed, and same thing when we had an architect that made only one 'definite' list.
Because this is a personal matchmaking decision, I won't name names – but I do think its important to share what we did and why we ended up where we did. We had 4 architects / firms that we wanted to engage and speak with in greater depth. We had talked to several of them on site during a tour, but that's not the time to discuss anything in any detail.
We spoke to 2 single architects that were not a design – build firm. One fit with our energy efficiency objective, having worked on some very efficient homes with probably the most extreme area builder of 'green' (man, I hate that word) homes, and another fit our need for aging in place and truly understood our goal to make the house 'dog friendly'. Ultimately, we decided that it was imperative to us to have a design – build firm. We've both refereed finger pointing sessions at work as to which team was at fault for some failure and we didn't want to do that in our house.
That left us with two good design – build firms. There was some initial concern that, while there was not a single tonic design home that we didn't like, were they "too far out there" and too much an artist and not enough scientist (or engineer, or builder) to execute what we knew would be a very technical project. We appreciated their design process that allowed a feasibility study to be done at a VERY reasonable cost and would likely help us understand if we could make this all work. But, with the other firm, after viewing a more modern home of theirs, we thought perhaps they were "just right" – so we started there.
We went through an extensive schematic design process with Firm #1. It was very enjoyable as we went through 4 different designs and spoke to each one of them about what appealed to us, and what did not. One of the more bizarre items that we threw out there was that we wanted a house with "no sheetrock and no 2×4's". While it sounds odd, it was really meant more to challenge the teams to think differently and not necessarily an edict. Ultimately, we learned a LOT through the initial design process with the first team. We learned that I wasn't going to win the battle and get a flat roof, and that we really did want single floor living, and that we were going to be pushing the envelope on both design and energy efficiency.
Technically, we could have gone forward with the design we had – it worked, it was certainly aesthetically pleasing, and I am sure would have been a great, custom, liveable house. But – it wasn't as "boundary pushing" as we were looking for. It was conventionally constructed and contained many of the dreaded sheets of sheetrock and tons of 2×4's… Because tonic design had the Feasibility Study option – we felt we owed it to ourselves to see if there was a better fit out there before making such a major commitment.
After a meeting or 2 with Vinny, Katherine and Maggie, it was apparent that this team not only would rise to the occasion – they would thoroughly enjoy the challenge and loved the idea of no sheetrock and no 2×4's. The design process was so tactile and creative (think building blocks, clear lucite chunks, clay, paper, scissors and tape) it allowed a level of engagement and involvement by us, the client, that it truly felt like "our" house already. There was a sense of adventure when we started on the LEED Platinum route, and when we started asking about concrete sandwich panels, and all sorts of other nontraditional materials – it was met with a true sense of engagement and the collaborative effort we were looking for. We knew this was the place and that the house would be exceptional.
Next up – performance, cost and form following function. (or, as it's sometimes known – the engineer vs the marketing chick….)

Question about Electronics - Others
My Phillips digital frame (model 7FFI) won't read either of my new 4 gig SanDisk SD cards. It has no problem with my old SimpleTech 512M card. Any ideas?
Posted by bud_gabaree on
SO ANNOYING! It wont even register it as being in there. No idea what the problem is.
I have the same issue, it won't even recognise any type of card that I put in.
Not found a solution yet though!
SOURCE: I have freestanding Series 8 dishwasher. Lately during the filling cycle water hammer is occurring. How can this be resolved

SOURCE: Garmin Nuvi 200W SD card Problem
The problem is that the US 2008NT map takes up about 900MB, the update itself will push that up to 947MB. The Nuvi 200w has an internal memory of 1GB, the Help folder takes about 35MB and the text and speech files for all those other languages that you don't use or understand takes up about 30MB. So if you add all those up you come up with more than 1GB, and the SD card cannot be used for the US mapset (preloaded). It can only be used for additional map sets that you want to add like Europe, Mexico, Australia etc etc. So how do you update? Well you are going to have to decide if you really need all those extra voice and text languages such as Aafrikans, German, Spanish etc etc. If not, get rid of them. Also consider getting rid of the Help Folder since it's actually pretty useless, but I leave that up to you to decide.
Now for 3-belmont-E, your friends and yourself should have realized that the Garmin units read SD, not SD-HC which are different. When you got the 1GB SD card, it should come up as another drive. It will not show up as a folder on the Garmin unit itself, for example....
Your main drive is C: and your CD/DVD is D:, when you plug in the Garmin it becomes E: but if you have an SD card that will become F: so in reality your Garmin device will now be E and F, with F being the SD card. This is of course if the SD reader in the unit did not get damaged by you guys putting in the SD-HC card into it.

SOURCE: Philips digital photo frame 7FFI series
Here`s a tip i found for you...
1. Connect the frame to your PC using the supplied USB connector. Navigate to the \DCIM\100Frame directory and delete all the Phillips advertising pictures there.
2. Create a directory on your PC and put copies of all the pictures you want to display there.
3. Download the free picture resizer utility from Microsoft at:
(Look for Image Resizer in the right column). After installing it, "Select All" pictures in the directory you created, then right click and select "Resize Pictures" from the context menu. Choose the 640x400 radio button. Sort by size and copy all the small ones into the "\DCIM\100Frame" directory on the frame drive (Called Removable Disk on my PC).

SOURCE: Micro SD 2 GB just stopped working
The PIC or EEPROM inside these cards may not be working. I guess you best bet is to buy a new one try Kingston brand or go with another Sandisk.
Posted on Sep 21, 2008
SOURCE: card read error
Put the card back into the camera and off load/take off your pictures (Put them on the computer). Then, put the card back into the camera and go to your options menu. Find the format feature, and format the card. Take some new pictures and then try putting the card back into the picture frame. Does it work? If so, transfer the images from your computer back to the card. If it continues to work, then Great! If not, more than likely there is an improper or corrupt file among your photos.
Good Luck!

SOURCE: problem with reading Sandisk 4gig hc micro sd card in my computer and laptop
The problem is that a 4 GB micro sd card is HC (High Capacity). You will need to buy a card reader that can read HC micro sd cards (cost +/- € 8).
Very important: check if your mobile phone works with high capacity micro sd cards because a lot of phones don't work with HC micro SD cards.

MIAMI, FL (AP/WCMH) — Florida Gov. Rick Scott says the state could be facing its "biggest evacuation ever" because Hurricane Matthew is threatening almost the entire Atlantic coast of Florida.
Scott said Wednesday he didn't know how many people would be ordered to evacuate because it is left up to the counties, but he says every county along the coast is focused on it and has been preparing.
So far, only Brevard and Martin counties have issued mandatory evacuation orders.
Late this afternoon, Hurricane Matthew is still packing sustained winds of 120 mph, after crossing the southwestern peninsula of Haiti, where winds were as high as 145 mph (Category 4) at landfall. Matthew continued northwest, brushing the eastern tip of Cuba, which is quite mountainous, and is now in the southwestern Atlantic.

President Barack Obama is being briefed on the federal government's preparation for Hurricane Matthew as the Category 3 storm makes its way to the U.S. mainland.
The president says now is the time to "hope for the best but we want to prepare for the worst."
Obama is at the Federal Emergency Management Agency's headquarters. FEMA has deployed personnel to emergency operation centers in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina. It's also positioning commodities and other supplies at Fort Bragg in North Carolina and in Albany, Georgia.
Government officials are worried about complacency, especially in South Florida, which hasn't seen a major hurricane in 11 years.
Computer models shows Matthew strengthening back to Category 4 intensity Thursday over warm water and the flatter islands of the Bahamas, bringing up to two feet of rain and a storm surge of 10 feet or higher.
By late Thursday, Matthew's outer winds will begin affecting Florida, especially near the Atlantic coast, where hurricane warnings and watches extend all the way from Key West northward to a little south of Jacksonville. The projected track should take Matthew near the coast through Friday, before the storm turns east and passes south of the Carolina coastline on Saturday.
The beach town of Folly Beach on the South Carolina coast southwest of Charleston is closed to everyone except residents and essential personnel. The barrier island is subject to erosion and its beaches and a county park at Folly have been heavily damaged in storms in years past.

There are numerous fine day walks around Quito, which provide excellent opportunities to acclimatize after arrival.
Consider also basing yourself in the Otavalo Area for superb walking options.
There is a plethora of great walks here, from short explorations to multi-dayers:
The Pichincha Volcanoes: a pair of volcanoes (one active) to the west of Quito. Ruca Pichincha is accessible by cable car from Quito, to 4,000m where you can tailor your walking to fit your state of acclimatization. Superb views as well as geological fascination.
Pululahua Crater: Pululahua Geobotanical Reserve, north of Quito is a fascinating place to explore on foot, a deep caldera some 5km across with exceptionally rich and varied vegetation and wildlife on its slopes, and covered on its outside in dense forests with farmland on its fertile floor.
Bellavista Nature Reserve: This magnificent tract of steep cloud forest harbours an extraordinary diversity of bird and plant life, including a delightful selection of humming birds. Explore these mysterious, often misty slopes on an excellent network of paths.
Cerro Atacazo: Another spectacular, eroded volcano with superb views, in the western cordillera. A steady ascent until you reach the crater rim, where the (visual) fireworks really start. You can get close to the top (an hour or so) with a 4WD, so a good acclimatization day walk.
El Chaupi: A gorgeous walk across rough paramo, taking in three minor peaks. Huge views of surrounding volcanoes, and also of lovely farmland valleys, so a delightful variety to enjoy. This is a (relatively) lower-level walk, so a good acclimatizer.
Cerro Pasochoa: This heavily eroded extinct volcano has superb views of the Avenue of Volcanoes. It is a day walk but would be demanding if you are fairly recently arrived. There are several approaches, and you can choose from a selection of trails on its slopes.
Papallacta Lake District: Beautiful glacially scoured lakes and mountains near Ecuador's best hot springs.

Best bets for Thursday | Friday | PickCenter
The easiest strategy for picking point-spread winners in the NCAA tournament is to ignore the point spread completely, concentrating on picking straight-up winners. Of the 16 teams that reached the second weekend of the Big Dance, 15 covered the spread to get here. Michigan State was the only team to win but not cover, beating Harvard by only seven as 8.5-point favorites.
Of course, anyone who filled out a bracket will tell you that picking straight-up winners isn't necessarily much easier than picking point-spread winners here in March. We'll do our best to accomplish that task in this preview for Thursday's Sweet 16 matchups. Games are listed in Las Vegas rotation order and best bets are noted with an asterisk (*).
No. 4 UCLA Bruins versus No. 1 Florida Gators
LVH line: Florida minus-4.5
PickCenter consensus pick: Florida 54 percent
Steve Alford's Bruins have enjoyed a relatively easy draw to reach the Sweet 16, knocking off undersized Tulsa and outclassed Stephen F. Austin. Their best player, 6-foot-9 Kyle Anderson, was a matchup nightmare for both of those squads, while 6-5 guard Jordan Adams was able to shoot over both defenses with relative ease.
Insider PickCenter
Wondering which side to take? Check out PickCenter and do your research before making that critical decision. PickCenter
But the Bruins must take a major step up in class as they face the No. 1 overall seed in the tournament. Their big men haven't been particularly productive. The Wear twins and Tony Parker -- UCLA's low-post trio -- are not strong offensive threats or dominating defenders. That's bad news against a Florida team with size to spare. Will Yeguete, at 6-8, can match up defensively with Anderson. And 6-9 Patric Young has dominated in six matchups against fellow Sweet 16 teams from the SEC, Tennessee and Kentucky, two teams with an ample supply of low-post size and muscle.

Delhi police to issue I-cards to senior citizens
Senior citizens in the national capital registered with Delhi Police will now get identity cards as part of efforts to protect them, city Police Commissioner Neeraj Kumar said.
New Delhi: Senior citizens in the national capital registered with Delhi Police will now get identity cards as part of efforts to protect them, city Police Commissioner Neeraj Kumar said on Thursday and rejected suggestions that the capital was "unsafe".
Kumar asserted that law and order situation in the capital was "under control" in every sphere and identified inter-state gangs and snatchings as the two main reasons behind crime in the capital.
Addressing a press conference here today, the Commissioner said the Delhi Police was taking all steps to protect senior citizens in the national capital and highlighted the number of arrests made after he took over on June 30.
"A senior citizen complained to me that they don`t have any identity card and that it is a problem for them. We have decided to issue identity cards to every senior citizen registered with us. The job will be completed in the next one to one-and-a-half months," he said.
Two elderly women were fatally stabbed while attempting to foil robbery attempt in West Delhi`s Rohini locality just two days ago.
With regard to a school student losing his life in an accident involving school bus, Kumar said the police would take strict action against people who flout the rules with regard to safety standards set by Supreme Court on school buses.
"Most certainly. We will go into details of such cases and take action. Traffic police will look into the issue of school buses over speeding and we will discuss the issue with principals as well," he said.
Kumar said tough action against snatchers was being taken ever since he took over and assured that the action would continue.
Rejecting suggestions that Delhi was becoming "unsafe", he said, "That suggestion that there is lawlessness is not correct. Law and order is under control in every sphere. At the same time, a lot more needs to be done."
On involvement of inter-state gangs in crime, the
Commissioner said he has invited the Director General of Police of Haryana to discuss the issue.
"We will sit with them and talk on how to control the gangs from Mewat. We need to control crime," he said.
On the Akbarabadi mosque issue, Kumar thanked the media for their "cooperation" and hoped that Ramzan month will pass off peacefully without any problems.
He said the police was complying with the orders of the Delhi High Court in this regard.
Kumar said Delhi Police has written to Union Urban Development Ministry for improving lighting on the lawns in India Gate as part of efforts to increase security.
To a question about the arrest of a person identified as Zuber Khan, the Commissioner said he had contacts with people from other countries. "He was suspicious. The arrest was made in coordination with central agencies," he said.

Hi all! I love perfume, how about you? My collection used to be much more extensive but when my skin started acting up I got rid of a lot of them because I was paranoid to use them! I now know I can still use fragrance as long as I spray them onto my clothes and hair only, this keeps them smelling true also because they never mix with your body chemistry.
These are the the four fragrances that have been in heavy circulation this Summer. I love them all for different reasons. Bright Crystal has become my go to, it is so fresh and lovely. If I am in the mood for a clean citrus scent I reach for Sandalwood from Pacifica, the name is very deceiving on this perfume because the Sandalwood is very short lived, also this is the only one I can use as a body spray because it is all natural!
Tommy Girl is an old favorite, I have loved this scent for years now, and love it year round. The newest addition to my collection is Ange ou Demon (hate the name, love the smell) It is fresh but complex, it has deep notes that help transition it into Fall, I plan on wearing this one year round.
I enjoy fragrance so much I am glad I have found way to wear it and not affect my skin, if you missed my post on skin sensitivities see it HERE. I have reciaved many questions about skin issues, products to use and avoid, and I will continue to answer them as they come in so ask away! Have an awesome day!

Okay, so I'm really taking readers' advice to heart and just covering the gamut of things – from eating disorder recovery to the futile search for a baby doll with special private parts (don't ask). Today I've decided to share a triumphant moment for me in craft land! I love the idea of crafts, but the execution makes me shudder. I have a rabid need for order, and glue, glitter, paint, etc. in the hands of little ones and order are like oil and water. They don't mix. But I want my kids to be creative. I want them to be free to sometimes make a mess in a safe place. Plus, I have my share of creativity genes and want to share my imagination with my children. I'm just not all that good at expressing it with my hands (ideas are in no short supply but, again, it's the execution of those ideas that oftentimes leaves something to be desired). Ask my mom about sewing. I've joked before that I'm not much of a seamstress, but the sad truth is I still ask my mom to sew on buttons. Yes, buttons.
Then recently I was at a birthday party, and my dear friend who has the gift of craft genius (you know who you are, and you really should open your own Etsy shop!) had set up several hands-on stations for the girls. One of them included making these adorable pipe cleaner rings. Rae and I sat down together and she started bending the pipe cleaners this way and that, but then she asked if I could make her ring more "bootiful."It looked easy enough, but looks can be deceiving. Rae could have done much better than her mom. I grew impatient with the pipe cleaners and just started mashing them around. Thankfully, my artsy friend took over and shaped a perfect bloom within seconds.
At any rate, we do our fair share of crafts around here, but usually I try to keep things fairly simple. I also believe in letting little hands do most of the work. What's the point in having your kids watch you do some elaborate, complicated craft? I'd rather have a less than perfect finished product that was made by children instead of by me. (Besides, as the pipe cleaner ring experience shows Mommy can't always do things better than her little children.)
During Advent we have some old craft standbys (I shared some of our "regulars" here). However, this year we decided to also make these poinsettia princesses (they're really fairies, but the girls liked the alliteration and so did I). I did have to help out a bit with the glue gun, but my oldest made the tunics. Rae (3) helped thread the pipe cleaners through the clothes pins to make the arms, and she also drew the mouths on the fairies. The girls picked out the color of the tunics, and Madeline helped me glue on the wings, poinsettia skirt, and other embellishments. Elizabeth Foss includes detailed instructions over here. I actually just bought poinsettias where I could remove the middle flower accent. Then I pushed the clothespin through the hole and then added a bit of hot glue so the skirt would stay in place rather than gluing on individual petals (or I should say leaves; we learned after reading The Legend of the Poinsettia that the red is not really a flower but just more petals that have turned red). We had most of the supplies needed for the craft on hand and purchased the rest at Hobby Lobby: felt, clothes pins (the old-fashioned kind), fake poinsettias with green and red leaves, pink pipe cleaners (I couldn't find flesh colored), fake doll hair, glittery green rope, and felt-tip pens to draw the faces.
I was quite pleased with the finished product even if the fairies' heads were a bit like the small head guy in Beetlejuice. I couldn't find bigger clothes pins. Still, the girls loved them and plan on giving them as gifts.
Something else we made on our recent craft day were these lovely angels.
Madeline made these almost entirely herself. She only burnt herself with the glue gun once and said it only hurt "just a little bit." We always enjoy shelling when we go to the beach, and the girls always want to keep all of their treasures from the sea. I have bags of seashells and was wondering what we could do with them. Well, don't these white shells look like the body of angel? We thought so.
Here are some how-to instructions:
Old seashells like clam shells, cockles, or scallops
Gold pipe cleaners
Wooden doll heads
Doll hair
Felt tip markers
Glue the head on the shell using a hot glue gun. Add hair. Make a halo out of the gold pipe cleaner (this can double as a hanger if you want to use the shell angels as ornaments). Glue on halo. Shape another pipe cleaner into a sideways eight to use as wings. Glue wings on the back of the shell. Add facial features with felt tip markers.
These crafts were simple enough for my 6-year-old, and my 3-year-old enjoyed helping, too. And we didn't make too much of a mess either, so I was happy.
As long as I'm on a craft roll, I'll share what we made for Thanksgiving. These started out as felt napkin holders, but we decided they made lovely bracelets.
All you need is three felt pieces: One shaped like a bone and two shaped as flowers/stars with slits cut in the middle. You thread one end of the bone through the two flowers, create a loop, and then thread the other end of the bone. Even my 3-year-old could create one of these all by herself. Detailed instructions are here.
One area that comes more naturally to me is crafts in the kitchen – that is baking up delicious treats. Every year we bake mountains of cookies and share them with neighbors, friends, and family. This year was no exception. The girls favorite cookies to make are old-fashioned sugar cookies with frosting and lots of sprinkles. I gave them complete freedom in decorating their batch of cookies, so some of them are liberally embellished with sprinkles and candies. Before baking we read Christmas Cookies: Bite-Size Holiday Lessons, which defines important virtues like responsibility and perseverance. Rather than making the sugar cookies we always do (Sugar Cookies For Every Season), the girls wanted to use the sugar cookie recipe in the back of the book. They turned out well and tasted about the same.
Next up in the kitchen: Chocolate chip scones, one of my all-time favorite baking recipes.
It's been a good Advent, and we can hardly wait to welcome Baby Jesus!
Have a peaceful end of Advent and a joyful Christmas season!
I choose not to share any of our failed craft projects, which number many but if you want a sneak peek at some of my occasional successes, I'd love for you to subscribe to Momopoly.

S'mores are a camping favorite, but they aren't just for camping anymore! This s'mores dip recipe is a way to get the s'mores experience anytime you want, practically anywhere. Whether you live in an apartment or a dorm, you can make this sweet snacking dip. Don't forget to invite friends because it is always s'more fun when you are together!
If you don't have a cast iron pan, any oven safe pan, pie plate, or baking dish will do. I see many cast iron pans at thrift shops and they last a lifetime, so don't be afraid to pick one up there. I used a variety of chocolate chips and M&M's in this s'mores dip recipe. However, any chocolate candy such as Reese's Peanut Butter Cups or Rollo's would work. Serve with a stack of graham crackers, perfect for dipping.
By Bella Bucchiotti
S'Mores Dip Recipe
- Chocolate bar pieces (or any chocolate candy)
- Marshmallows, large size
- Graham crackers
- Take a cast iron pan (or any oven safe container like a pie plate) and put chocolate bar pieces or whatever chocolate sweets you want in the bottom. I used a variety of chocolate chips and M&M's.
- Layer some marshmallows on top to cover the surface.
- Bake in a 350-degree oven just until the tops start to turn golden. Watch carefully.
- Serve immediately with graham crackers (of course) and enjoy!

Restrict satellite part of mutual fund portfolio to 20-30%

- Welspun Corp. to raise Rs250 crore via NCDs
- JPMorgan rolls out $20 billion investment plan after tax law gains
- Davos Diary, 23 January 2018: Of culinary delights and Modi-CEOs bonhomie

Is it possible to gift or transmit mutual funds held by me to my parents? I have some funds held in demat form and some in non-demat. I might go abroad on work for a couple of years, and I don't want to encash savings.
—Nitin Kumbha
Fund houses allow the transmission of a scheme's units to a different person only in the event of the demise of the primary unit holder. Hence, in your case, it would not be possible for you to transfer your holdings to your parents and get them back after a few years. If you are leaving India for a few years, you really do not need to such a transfer. You can leave your units invested as they are today, and redeem them when you return. The only thing you would need to do is to update your know-your-customer information to indicate that you are now a non-resident Indian. Depending on the country you go to, you might be restricted from making additional investments in these folios (for example, if you go to the US or Canada). But existing units will stay invested.
What are satellite and core funds in mutual funds? I am 23 years old and earn about Rs. 30,000 a month.
—Rajul Tyagi
The core and satellite approach to designing a mutual fund portfolio is an effective long-term strategy for investment. It combines the need for achieving market-linked returns with the ability to take opportunistic advantage of special situations that arise periodically. The core of the portfolio typically consists of stable funds with good pedigree and track record that cover the gamut of the market. Good large- and multi-cap funds will belong here. The satellite portion will contain more aggressive investment options. These could be risky schemes, such as recently launched funds, thematic or sector funds, and aggressive small- or micro-cap funds. Such funds have the potential to provide a returns kicker, or a specific flavour to the portfolio. Since they carry more risk, this portion of your portfolio should typically be restricted to 20-30% of the overall portfolio.
In your case, you can build such a portfolio with as few as 3-5 funds. If you are, for example, investing Rs.5,000 a month in a systematic investment plan portfolio, you could have a large-cap fund for Rs.2,000, a couple of diversified funds for Rs.1,000 each, and an aggressive sector fund for Rs.1,000 (the satellite portion of your portfolio). Please note that in such a design, while the entire portfolio needs to be reviewed periodically, the satellite portion would need more frequent review. For example, if you do an annual review of your overall portfolio, you should review the satellite portion's performance twice a year, if not four times.
Can I invest in a lump sum and systematically (SIP) in the same fund? I have invested around Rs.35,000 this year in ICICI Prudential Tax Saving Growth Plan and want to start an SIP in it. I'm 28 years old, and earn Rs.50,000 a month. I can invest up to Rs.15,000 in mutual funds.
—Mrunal Barve
There is no restriction on investing lump sum in a fund or folio where you have an SIP running. If you have invested an amount tax-saving purpose, and want to start an SIP to take care of next year's tax-saving plans in the same fund, you can do so. In fact, given that tax-saving funds are diversified equity funds, investing in them via SIPs is the preferred mode.
If you plan to invest the same amount next year as well, your SIP amount should be Rs.3,000 a month (to total Rs.36,000 in a year). Since you can invest more than that, you can invest the remaining amount into a balanced portfolio of funds such as Franklin India Blue Chip, UTI Equity Fund and Tata Balanced Fund.

AN oil painting of a Scottish harbour by the famous Victorian landscape artist Samuel Bough is expected to fetch up to £50,000 at an Edinburgh auction next month.
West Wemyss Harbour, Fife, was painted by Bough in 1854, when the artist lived in Glasgow.
The painting, which shows the arrival of fishing boats at sunrise, has been not seen in public for more than a century as it has been kept in a private collection.
It will be a highlight of Bonhams' annual Scottish Sale, on August 20.
Chris Brickley, Bonhams' head of pictures in Scotland, said: "Sam Bough had a huge affection for East Fife and it shines through in this wonderfully atmospheric painting.
"It is not surprising that his work has become increasingly sought after."
Bough was born in Carlisle, but spent most of his working life in Glasgow and Edinburgh.

Defrag X Conference
Defrag is the confernece for developers, and Cloudsoft is happy to be one of the Platinum sponsors. We will be heading back to the Omni Interlocken Resort close to Denver, Colorado on November 16th & 17th to attend.
When Defrag started ten years ago in 2007, cloud computing was in its infancy, APIs were little known outside of a few engineers, and the Internet of Things, drones and robotics were the things of science fiction.
As we move toward the 10th anniversary edition of Defrag, we're returning to our roots: developers. With sessions grounded in APIs, DevOps, the cloud, IoT and analytics, we'll continue to expand on the themes emerging around the intersection of technology with society, government, education, healthcare and commerce. And Cloudsoft couldn't be happier to be a part of it.
The Defrag X Confernece keynote on November 17th at 9:00-9:30am will be given by Cloudsoft's CEO Duncan Johnston-Watt and Software Engineer Mike Zaccardo on Deploying and Managing a Global Blockchain Network.
Blockchain technology has leapt to prominence in the past year notably with the establishment of the open source Hyperledger Project hosted by the Linux Foundation. We examine its potential impact on financial services and asset management. We show how, using the Cloudsoft Application Management Platform, we can rapidly deploy and manage the Hyperledger Fabric running on IBM Blue Box clusters in San Jose, London, and Singapore, creating a geographically distributed Blockchain network.
Stop by our booth where we will be showcasing our work deploying and managing the Hyperledger Fabric using the latest version of Cloudsoft AMP.
About Defrag:
This year, Defrag turns 10 years old. That's a long-time in the world of tech conferences — very few tech conferences have ever lasted that long (PC Forum, OScon, Interop, etc), so we're extremely grateful for the community that has formed around the themes we've explored at Defrag.
Over the years, those themes have covered everything from "enterprise 2.0," to APIs to robots to drones to IoT to the intersection of tech and everything (government, medicine, education, manufacturing, etc). So, as I begin to dig in on this year's agenda, I've been thinking a lot about where to take us for the 10 year anniversary.
At the end of the day, everything we've explored has come down to developers, and that's precisely where I'd like to ground this year's show (while we still explore some more "outside of the box" topics at the keynote level). So, if you've got a presentation around containers, serverless architectures, IoT, analytics, DevOps, or really anything that is developer-related.

Darling of the French New Wave Anna Karina waves out the window of a Paris apartment building.
Sophia Loren picnics in style along the Appian Way, an ancient Roman road.
Brigitte Bardot and Alain Delon cruise the seas in the South of France and look fabulous doing it (naturally!).

Ronnie Mund
Harrahs Atlantic City
A Ronnie Mund setlist is a compilation of all the songs Ronnie Mund has played live in concert. Many Ronnie Mund concerts have the same setlist, and sometimes Ronnie Mund setlists will vary from night to night. We've gathered together 2018 Ronnie Mund tour setlists as well as past Ronnie Mund setlists to give you a better idea of what you can expect at your local Ronnie Mund show. If you have a Ronnie Mund song list you would like to upload, please check back as that functionality will be added soon, as well as setlists for Ronnie Mund.

Are they looking for a guy who they can just walk and talk with? Are they looking for a man to sweep them off their feet? Or are they just looking to have a good time?
Most Helpful Girl
It depends what date you're going on. For the first date though girls are usually trying to decide what kind of person you are, and if you're someone that they'd like to get to know better. So usually just the whole walking and talking get to know you while we do something fun buisness. With the first date I don't think there's much sweeping of the feet going on, and if you're going for that there is even the possibility that you come on too strong for her. Having a good time is key as well we don't want to go on multiple dates with someone boring. This doesn't mean you have to bring us somewhere interesting just that you are. Don't be someone you're not though cause then you're stuck imitating that person for the rest of that relationship or having her go out with you on false pretenses. Just play it cool..and let us see you. That doesn't mean you have to give up everything though=P
Hope that helps you out and good luck to you! =310|10|0
See the thing is I like this one girl whom I'm really good friends with. I feel like she is giving me the green light, but then she also sends me signs that we are just friends. I think Ima still ask her on a date just to see where we stand.
Good luck to you then=)..and yeah mixeed signals are the worst..but then again you never know if you don't try =D
