The good news is that we are getting some much needed rain.
The bad news is that with all the extra moisture, more loose pets will be on the streets.
Not only do pets run when frightened by storms, but also pets are going to more tempted to dig into the soften earth to escape their enclosures. Additionally, some fence boards will become rotten because of all the extra moisture.
Even if your pet only goes outside under supervision, be aware that the neighbor dogs might dig into your yard, and take precautions. See an example here.
Remember that the stray pet you see might be trying to get home. The pet might look very dirty but that could be because of mud, not neglect. See more here.

ARS in conversation with MN Rajam and AL Raghavan
M.N. Rajam and A. L. Raghavan share their stage and film days with ARS.
In conversation: M.N. Rajam, A.L. Raghavan, and A.R. Srinivasan( ARS ,left). (Below) Nawab Rajamanickam and (right) T. K. Shanmugam.
Film actor M. N Rajam started her career as a stage artist. She was only seven when she joined the Madurai Sri Mangala Bala Gana Sabha. If children her age were sent to drama companies, it was because their families were in financial difficulties. Her father had been a Police Inspector in Madurai. When he lost his job due to loss of vision in one eye, he took to the stage. But he died soon after, leaving behind his wife and three children, of whom Rajam was the eldest.
A.L. Raghavan's entry into films was also through the stage, and in his case too it was the sudden death of his father that made him join theatre. His father too had acted in plays. "MGR acted as my father's wife in plays. And in later years, MGR would joke that he was my step mother!" laughed A.L. Raghavan. Rajam and Raghavan reminisced about their stage and film days at Sampradaya's' Samvada, in which actor ARS was the anchor person.
"My gurukula vasam in the drama company, included lessons in Maths, Tamil, music and dialogue delivery," said Rajam. Even a weekly oil bath and a daily dose of cod liver oil for the children were ensured by the company.
Amusing anecdote
In one of the mythological plays of the company, the roles of Vishnu and His consorts were played by child artists. A contraption with a plunger was rigged up and when the plunger was pressed, Vishnu and His Consorts on the snake bed would be slowly propelled upwards and would become visible to the audience. Once there was a slip on the part of the man operating the plunger, and the child playing Vishnu tumbled downwards, but Rajam, who played the role of Sridevi, cleverly improvised with the words, "O celestials, do not worry. Vishnu has descended to Earth and will solve your problems!"
Later the drama company, of which Rajam was a member, was taken over by N.S. Krishnan. So she was under NSK's tutelage for some years. Some of the plays she acted in then were 'Paithiakkaran' and 'Naam Iruvar.' Wasn't 'Paithiakkaran' filmed too, asked ARS. "Yes, and the film had T.A. Madhuram in a double role. MGR was paired with one Madhuram and NSK with the other!" NSK's plays were staged at Otha Vadai theatre. Sundays were busy days with two shows, the second show concluding only at midnight.
ARS said that special dramas (the ones with songs) were so popular, that special trains used to be run to meet the rush. There were trains called 'S.G.Kittappa trains!'
Didn't meaty roles come Rajam's way only after she moved to TKS's troupe? "Yes," she said, and pointed out the reason, which was earlier she had been too young to do major roles. TKS, popularly known as 'Annachi,' was a great teacher and had taught Rajam the grammar of acting. He made a great Avvaiyar, and when Vasan wanted to film Avvaiyar, TKS was his first choice to play the lead role. But Annachi said a male playing a female role would not be accepted by the film-going audience, so the role went to K.B.Sundarambal.
In the play, Rajam, as Angavai, had to sing a song. One day, Rajam noticing M.S. Subbulakshmi in the audience, developed cold feet, and decided to feign sickness. She told Annachi that she had a bad cough and could not sing, butAnnachi said, "Never mind. You can cough in the middle of the song." She did go on to sing, and at the end of the programme, MS complimented her on her singing!
Kalki was so impressed with her role in the play 'Kalvanin Kadhali,' that he wondered whether God had created Rajam just to play that role. Rajam was also doing films at the time. For 'Ratha Kanneer' she had to put on weight. When after some months, she did her usual role in 'Kalvanin Kadhali,' Kalki asked TKS why the girl who had done the role earlier had been replaced. "I had become so chubby, that he couldn't recognise me!" chortles Rajam.
Raghavan has had many interesting experiences both as a singer and as an actor. He recalled his role as a child Krishna in Jupiter Pictures' 'Krishna Vijayam.' As a Gopika churned the curd, the churning stick would 'metamorphose' into Krishna. Raghavan who played Krishna would hide in the pot of curd, and would be attached to the stick, and would rise to give darshan to the Gopika. Rehearsals for the scene would go on till midnight. One day the pot broke and several bottles of Eau de Cologne had to be used to get rid of the stink from the sour curd!
He had to don the role of six different Krishnas, and trick shots were used to show all of them in one frame. Lalitha (Padmini's sister) acted in the film, and Raghavan was the one who taught her to speak Tamil! This was the film in which TMS made an entry as a playback singer. He sang for Narasimha Bharati, who played the senior Krishna.
Lyrics were given importance both in dramas and in films. The drama, 'Mohini Theevu,' had 'Unakkum Enakkum Isaindha Porutham' by Ramalinga Swami and'Naalu Veli Nilam' had 'Nambinaar Keduvadillai' by Bharatiar.
For the armed forces
Raghavan was part of a group of film artistes who performed in army and air force camps during the Indo-Pak war of 1965. Hangars became makeshift auditoria, and the programmes began at night. On the way back, the artists performed at Rashtrapati Bhavan. Jayalalitha who had just then entered films, danced to Susheela's 'Kannan Ennum Mannan Perai', from the film 'Vennira Adai.' Raghavan's rendering of Bharatiar's 'Pagaivanukkarulvai' brought tears to the eyes of President, Dr. Radhakrishnan . Raghavan's ability to yodel and to sing all kinds of songs, from comic to romantic ones,earned him the praise of Naushad.
When Mahatma Gandhi was assassinated, Bhoomipaladasa of Jupiter Pictures wrote 'Ulaga Mahan Gandhi', a song that Raghavan sang at all condolence meetings. M.M. Mariappa, who was the first playback singer for MGR, learnt the song from Raghavan. Raghavan has never regretted his choice of profession, and in this context recalled Semmangudi's words: "Even my grandsons sing your film songs. Your music has a wider reach than classical music."
ARS, who gently jogged the memory of the artists, asked Rajam to conclude with some words about Sivaji Ganesan and Nawab TSR.
Sivaji had donned female roles in dramas. Usually any boy who played female roles began to walk and talk like a female in real life too. When a boy's voice cracked, he would withdraw from the company. But Sivaji, who had played female roles in plays, was the only one who was able to convert what would have been a drawback into an asset, according to Rajam. Thus the mincing feminine walk was modified into a kind of stylish, signature walk by Sivaji. Coy feminine glances were given a male touch and used by him in emotional scenes.
Nawab TSR's 'Nandanar' was the only Tamil play Mahatma Gandhi watched. Gandhi was seated on the dais! The buffoon in the play wore spectacles that didn't have lenses. At the end of the play, Gandhi summoned him, stuck his fingers into the holes where the lenses should have been and said," Joot?" Gandhi's puckish smile had the entire audience chuckling.
* In the 'Parasakti' play, Rajam played the role that Sriranjani played in the film. Often the play had to be stopped midway, because the audience would recite the dialogue in the court scene along with the actors!
* MLV acted in a few scenes in Royal Talkies' 'Sudarshan,' but dropped out midway through. Yogamangalam then did the role. Raghavan sang Papanasam Sivan's 'Damodara Jayasridhara' for Yogamangalam.
* Kali N.Ratnam, who became a famous comedian, acquired the moniker of 'Kali' because of his role as Kali in a special drama.

A country's Gross Domestic Product, commonly referred to as GDP, is a calculation which measures the values of all goods and services produced during a specified period, generally a year. This figure includes goods and services produced by both individuals and corporations. Real GDP adjusts for inflation.
GDP statistics includes "all of private and public consumption, government outlays, investments and exports less imports that occur within a defined territory." The GDP does not include the net investments from foreign nations; these are included in the GNP (Gross National Product).
GDP is used as an indicator of its citizens' standard of living as well as to assess the health of the country's economy.

Demi Moore's recent hospitalization didn't quite come as a surprise to those who were close to her, reports Us Weekly. It seems her split from Ashton Kutcher had her craving the company of a younger crowd that she wasn't equipped to keep up with.
"She's been really down, and she's surrounding herself with young people to make her feel better," a source tells the magazine. "She's been mixing pills and Red Bulls, among other things."
We want to feel for Demi and her impossibly flawless 49-year-old skin. After spending the past few years with Kutcher — who, although 33, seems to only own cargo pants and flip-flops — the transition to adulthood must be tough.
But moving in on Zac Efron? Too far, lady. According to another source, she was pursuing the "High School Musical" star at a recent house party, looking "wired and gaunt."
Listen, Demi: Inappropriately hitting on Zac Efron while tipsy is my deal — and I have "The Word" archives to prove it.
The Lohan countdown has begun
Just when we started to miss Lindsay Lohan, it looks like she's about to be a regular presence in our lives again. Not only has she moved into hot-mess headquarters Chateau Marmont, but she has a new boyfriend: Henry Hopper, 21-year-old son of the late Dennis Hopper and star of Gus Van Sant's recent "Restless," according to TMZ. The happy couple was recently spotted picking up Red Bull and vodka in Venice (really, again? We had hoped rich people had better drugs than Red Bull).
Any time you're ready, Linds.
Olivia Wilde still living the fairy tale
Olivia Wilde opens up about her recent divorce in the new issue of "Town & Country." "The good thing about getting divorced young — if there is a good thing — is that it makes you realize there's no schedule in life," says the actress, who married Italian prince Tao Ruspoli at age 18. "It blasts you wide open and frees you to be honest with yourself."
That's a healthy way to look at it. But we can't help but wonder: Does it help when the "wide open" is every studio in Hollywood and "yourself" is Olivia Wilde?

I suspect it has less to do with the winnowing effect of diseases (to which south american poplations were liberally exposed, too) as with discrete waves of settlement. There are a number of genetic markers which suggest that the americas were subject to waves of new settlers coming from europe/asia,over a very long time frame (though to be fair, this idea is still subject to vigorous debate). It thus makes a certain amount of sense that more northern populations (who presumably migrated into area later than the southerly groups) are closer to the "ancestral" stock - whatever that was.

This bill (SB 796 by Sen. Aaron Bean) will help thousands of Florida's low-income students gain a quality education by removing administrative barriers and creating a supportive environment for high impact charter management organizations to operate and serve educationally disadvantaged students.
Nationwide, several non-profit education management organizations, such as KIPP, Success Academies, Great Heart Academies and others, have achieved notable and swift success serving the populations in most need, including lowest-income and lowest-performing. In Florida, the only high-impact charter networks are KIPP-Jacksonville and SEED in Miami-Dade. Many of Florida's in-state charters are high performing but limited in their ability to expand and serve Florida's those students most in need.
To strengthen school options for our students—especially those at risk—Florida must create incentives to attract high-impact charter networks. The state must also implement policies that allow successful, homegrown schools to expand their reach. Consideration should also be given to these networks, allowing them to serve as a turnaround option for low-performing schools.

A Quick Interview with International Aym-Ha Orli Berman about CLTC 2011!
Posted on 06/24/2011 @ 08:52 AM
by Brittany Rittel, Connecticut Valley Region
1. AHA or Beber and why?
AHA, clearly was the best. Air conditioned rooms, 'nough said. Beber has nothing on that.
2. What do you think of the new CLTC Location of Bethany College?
It is beautiful! It combines the camp feel of Beber and the dorm style feel of AHA. It's going to be great.
3. What session are you coordinating?
4. Why is CLTC important for a BBG/AZA?
CLTC is important for BBYO because it creates networks of dedicated leaders. It brings people together from all over the order to not only learn about BBYO and how to lead their chapters, councils and regions, but also creates lifelong friendships.
5. What is your favorite CLTC Memory?
I couldn't even begin to start. Every memory was special and important in its own way. One of the memories that stands out the most is when my mock chapter ran a program about being more sensitive to disabilities. It was a topic that was very close to my heart, and touching another 86 people with something I'm passionate about changed me and made me inspired.
6. What are some secrets you can spill about what YOU have planned for CLTC this summer?
I guess you'll just have to go to find out ;)
Please don't hesitate to let me know if you have any questions, need help with scholarship, or just want to know which session to go to. Email me at email@example.com if you need anything!

I'm a bit stuck though. In Free Roam mode, does anyone know the name of the street you start on?
I did randomly find the Thistle Islington in it though, which I thought was kind of cool.
The street you start on is Dryden Street, Covent Garden
Hope that helps.
I tried to find my house whilst playing this but got lost not long after turning off from Oxford street, it seems to me that certain sections are totally made up. It's still one of the best game I've played in ages though.
DonRoss, that site is excellent.

- Cabinet may take up proposal for 6% DA hike today (09/11)
- The Cabinet is likely to consider tomorrow a proposal to increase dearness allowance to 119 per cent from 113 per cent, which if cleared will potentially benefit over one crore government employees and pensioners.
"The proposal to increase dearness allowance by six percentage points to 119 per cent is likely to be taken up by the Cabinet tomorrow," a source said.Earlier in April, the government had hiked DA by 6 per cent to 113 per cent of their basic pay with effect from January. DA is paid as proportion of the basic pay.
The proposed DA hike will take effect from July 1. As per the agreed formula, the DA rate increase is an average of 12-month consumer price index-industrial workers from July 1, 2014 to June 30, 2015.
The proposed hike is in accordance with the accepted formula based on the recommendations of the 6th Pay Commission, which will benefit 48 lakh government employees and 55 lakh pensioners.
However, president of Confederation of Central Government Employees' and Workers K K N Kutty said: "The government should have given interim relief and merged DA with basic pay in view of the extension of term of the 7th Pay Commission by four months till December 31, 2015."
Elaborating, Kutty added: "The government assured employees that the 7th Pay Commission will submit its report in 18 months. It's delaying submission of the report by the commission because it doesn't want to increase its salaries bill this fiscal."
He further said that keeping in view the real rate of price rise, DA should have been 185 per cent of the basic pay.
Last month, the Cabinet had given approval for the extension of the term of the 7th Central Pay Commission by four months up to December 31.

Prime Algarve Residential Market
Prime Algarve Residential Market
29 March 2016, by Paul Tostevin
The Prime Algarve attracts lifestyle buyers seeking quality properties in a safe and secure environment
The Prime Algarve is part of a network of internationally invested destinations that are behaving quite unlike the nations in which they are located. While Portugal's national housing market is seeing tentative improvement, the Prime Algarve has outperformed in recent years. This is in line with the recovery in the countries from which most of the Algarve source buyers are derived, most notably the UK.
The renewed rise of the Prime Algarve comes as many wealthy individuals find themselves fully invested in 'first-tier city' property. In the years following the global financial crisis, cross-border wealth and other investment focused on the prime core of established world cities, seeking safe havens in times of economic uncertainty. In the most heavily invested cities like Hong Kong, London and Singapore, prime prices have doubled in a decade. The prime markets of these cities are fully taxed and, with prices at a high plateau, buyers are looking at second-tier cities and leisure retreats for capital growth prospects.
The privately owned and managed Algarve resorts of Quinta do Lago and Vale do Lobo appeal to additional home buyers, as they offer high-quality properties and on-site amenities in a safe and secure environment. Buyers are attracted to the region's lifestyle and an investment that can both be enjoyed or rented out for part of the year.
Tourism is the underlying fundamental for a second home destination. The Algarve is one of Europe's most popular tourist regions. Globally, international tourist arrivals grew by 4.4% in 2015 to reach a total of 1.2 billion. Europe led the world with growth of 5%, while Portugal saw growth of 8%. An improving tourist sector bodes well for the Prime Algarve, bringing more prospective buyers, and renters, to the region.
Characterised by low levels of supply and a product tailored to the luxury second home market, the Prime Algarve is positioned to benefit from deepening demand from established source markets in the years to come.

C Simulation Code
I have recently transitioned most of my simulations to plain C from python due to speed requirements. The most recent frameworks are available from my c-simulations project. Documentation for this project is ongoing and available at its readthedocs page.
Examples of this framework being used are available in my universal-deception project and my self-deception project.
Python Simulation Code
Formerly, I maintained the following simulations framework in python/cython. It can certainly still be used, though I have no intention of providing updates at this time.
Packages here can be re-used by either globally installing them or using a virualenv for your project. I recommend the latter way.
To start a new project using one of the packages below, you can follow these steps (replacing "simulations" with the package name):
mkdir myproject
cd myproject
virtualenv --distribute .
virtualenv --relocatable .
pip -E . install --extra-index-url https://www.ideafreemonoid.org/pip simulations
As an alternative to the final step, you can download and extract the linked archive from any build and run the following command in the extracted directory:
pip -E /path/to/myproject install .
Once you have a project set up and want to use it, you can activate your virtualenv by the following command:
source /path/to/myproject/bin/activate
When you want to return to your normal system environment, you can deactivate the virtualenv by entering the following command:

Rio Tinto to Cut Jobs, Delay New Projects as Growth Slows
Rio Tinto Group will cut jobs and delay decisions on building projects as the third-biggest mining company expects slower growth in China, its largest customer.
"We're more cautious for the outlook for our business for the next few quarters than we would have been a couple of months ago," Chief Executive Officer Tom Albanese said. "I would not expect any major new project approvals in the near-term."
Rio (RIO), already cutting $500 million in service and support costs this year, joins mining companies including BHP Billiton Ltd. (BHP), the world's biggest, in curbing spending plans as metal demand wanes. Expansions of rail and port facilities for coal operations in Mozambique may be delayed, while work on the Simandou iron ore project in Guinea costing more than $10 billion and an expansion in Australia's Pilbara will continue, Albanese said.
Unlike BHP, which shelved an estimated $68 billion in projects including a port and copper mine expansion, Rio doesn't have "big-ticket item projects," Glyn Lawcock, Sydney-based head of resources research for UBS AG, said by phone. "They don't have an Olympic Dam or an outer harbor. They will probably go slower on Mozambique coal."
The company, still set to spend $13.7 billion this year on approved projects, rose as much as 0.5 percent to A$56 and traded at A$55.85 as of 3:41 p.m. in Sydney, giving it a value of A$91.2 billion.
Cut Back
Rio will shed jobs as it cuts back, Albanese told a media briefing yesterday, declining to elaborate. London-based Rio employs 67,930 people, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
"There's some good news coming," he said, including euro- area measures, and Chinese and U.S. stimulus. "The question is when will all this flow through ultimately to our markets. We don't expect the impact of the stimulus measures on the Chinese economy until after some of the leadership changes."
Iron ore prices may fall to less than $100 a dry metric ton next year from an average $130 a ton in 2012, a Chinese government adviser said yesterday. Prices are forecast to average $135 a ton next year, according to estimates from eight analysts compiled by Bloomberg. Iron ore has rebounded 35 percent since falling to a three-year low of $86.70 on Sept. 5 after China announced spending plans for new roads and subways.
The Chinese Communist Party will hold its 18th congress and a once-a-decade handover to a new generation of leaders on Nov. 8. The switch may trigger an increase in stimulus measures to counter slowing economic growth, according to Mizuho Securities Asia Ltd. and Australian & New Zealand Banking Group Ltd.
Lower Earnings
Rio, which last year got 44 percent of sales from iron ore, posted a 22 percent drop in first-half net income after prices for the material fell, along with copper and aluminum. Copper demand in China will contract in 2012 for the first time since 2008, metals consultant Simon Hunt Strategic Services said. At the same time, benchmark prices for coal have also declined.
"In this environment we will be seeing a deferral of large capital programs," Albanese said of the Mozambique coal development. "We will assess the timing and the right options for infrastructure development over the next couple of years."
Rio bought Riversdale Mining Ltd. for A$3.4 billion last year and said then it may add 25 million tons of coal to its annual output from mines in Mozambique. An expansion of existing rail and port capacity may cost about $5 billion, UBS's Lawcock said.
The company will also probably no longer go ahead with an expansion of its AP60 aluminum plant in Quebec, which would have taken capacity to 460,000 metric tons from 60,000 tons, Lawcock said, estimating the price tag for the expansion at $3 billion to $5 billion.
Rio in April pulled back from joining an A$9 billion port expansion in Australia's Queensland state because of increased costs and weaker coal prices. An Australian thermal coal mine project may also be stalled on rising costs, Bank of America Merrill Lynch said in May after a meeting with Albanese.

The Centenary of Canberra – Science Art Commission Artwork
Video of the StellrLumé Domes at Questacon, StellrScope Exhibition.
The StellrLumé Domes installation, StellrScope, uses Spatial Augmented Reality (SAR) techniques to bring computer graphics into the human-scale physical environment. In order to facilitate interaction between the graphics and visitors, overhead depth cameras are used that sense red, green and blue as well as distance for every pixel. Custom software then extracts the human form, such as hands, over the top of the projection surface. Elements of the digital content are selected based on where 'virtual shadows' land. The audience must become active participants in order to experience the entire narrative.
The StellrLumé Domes are part of the 'StellrScope' Centenary of Canberra Science Art Commission and celebrate the story of wheat innovation over 100 years. The focus of these research was undertaken at CSIRO who were the Science Art Commission host, resident at the Future Food Flagship and Computational Informatics.

Mein aur Tum os
Thank you guys for your love. Guys this is my second os (I think so) because my school is going to start. Really I will miss u guys, but if I get free time then I will surely write an os. I'm really very sad, but have no option. I'm glad that I made a new family on TU. I will miss u guys. N guys I read that many ff writers r quitting, plz don't quit, its only u people who can get smiles on many people's face. Meri toh majboori hai. N yes even I'm sad hearing that sidhant sir is leaving the show, it's very disappointing, I know but it is his life decision and if he leaves the I think we get a new Sidhant next time in his new avatar. Think guys. And I'm here with my last os.
Let's start,
Guys imagine Monica Sehgal being Kavya.
I was sitting in a cafe, sipping my cup of coffee and having a chat on phone with my bestie. I ended the chat, placed the phone back in its right place. Was sipping my coffee and looking at the scenery outside, just then my eyes got stuck on a boy entering the café. He looked similar to my childhood friend. But, ignored him. But, what could I do, my eyes were not able to get off for him. Then, I made my mind, decided to have a look at him.
I turned behind, then I saw him, he sat on the left corner table of the café. He held his head with both his hands and his face was facing ground to the ground, which signified that he was in deep depression. But maybe I could be wrong. I thought to walk forward to him as I could not see his face, but………how will I recognize if he was my childhood friend. It was necessary to ask him his name. Then, I thought, forget it, what will I get doing this. Ignored it.
Half hour later, when I saw him I fully surprised, almost 10 cups of coffee surrounded his hand. It was a surprise for me, but this totally made me sure that he was in depression. I made up mind to walk up and talk to him, but couldn't go straight away to him, so I paid my bill and made myself comfortable to the table beside his. The time I used to look at him he would stare me. Then, I did a drama; I purposely threw my spoon in his table. He looked at me, but I ignored him. The time I was about to pick the spoon, I didn't find it. Someone tapped my back and it the boy. I found the spoon on my table. I think he knew that I did it purposely.
I tried to communicate; I said "Twinkle" forwarding my hand towards him. He did not respond. I again said "Twinkle Taneja"
"Stop it; I don't want to communicate with anyone." He shouted loud. I looked around, the café whole café was staring us. I calmed him. He apologized to me; he said "I'm sorry, I'm really very fed up of my stress, I'm sorry to scold u without any reason." "It's fine." I replied to him. "Your introduction." I said. He replied "Kunj Sarna" his name delighted me; it made a way for me to have my childhood friend again in front of me.
"My gaboo." I said in excitement. He said "What?" raising his eyebrows.
I asked him what his matter was. He answered "It's my personal matter, u need not to interfere in it." "U can tell me, I will be your trustful and loyal friend." He looked on, thought for some time and answered "ok". He told me his girlfriend was upset with him, he didn't know why? She was about to breakup, but he promised her that he will woe her in a week.
This disappointed me. "Oh! No he had a girlfriend", I thought. Well he should have as he was mature enough to handle these things, but my gaboo will always be my gaboo only.
"Okay" I said. Just then, 'tring, tring.' My phone, mom called me; I excused him as I had to go home. He nodded. I was about to leave the table, he held my hand; he said "Your name is Twinkle. Please tell me your full name." I moved to him and said "Twinkle Taneja." I thought that he would recognize me. It had not been a second after I told my name, he tightly hugged me. "Twinkle, my childhood friend Twinkle is back, Twinkle I missed u so much." He said having tears in his eyes. We broke the hug. To my surprise, he kneeled down on his knees and said……………………..
I had tears in my eyes; there was chance of rain in the café. He had noticed the tears in my eyes. But, I could not stop them from coming out. I closed them; I could nothing but only Kunj's face when I closed them. Just then, I felt something soft on my cheeks, not actually soft it was rough. I opened eyes to only to find out that Kunj was rolling his hand on my cheeks. He was wiping my tears. I had two questions, does he know my condition? Does he know what is going on in my mind? But, it felt good when he was rolling his hand on my cheek.
"I know u r worrying that if I would leave u. No I wouldn't. I will always be your best friend, your gaboo." He said. I couldn't control myself and ran home.
I ran to my room, bolted it and hid my face under pillow and started crying. Thinking how could he do this to me? Does he have any feelings for me?
Kunj kneeled on his knees and said "Twinkle please can u help me, to get together with Kavya. I will never forget your favors. Please help me." This destroyed Twinkle. She never thought that he would seek her help to get his girlfriend.
I felt light after crying. I was surprised that he was seeking my help to woe his girlfriend and this led to my tears coming out. But, I will surely get to it and help him."
Next day, I visited the same café where we meet, to see if was there. I rolled my everywhere but found no one, then found a boy sitting right in the corner, sipping his coffee. I went inside and told him that I'm ready to help him."
Then, he took me to a park where Kavya came for a walk. He told me that as I exited from his life, Kavya entered. He also told me that he loves her a lot. I, a heartbroken girl, had no choice instead of helping him as I did this for his happiness. I observed Kavya and concluded that she is obsessed and pampered girl. Kunj stared me. I told him some tips by which he could woe Kavya.
Tips were many, but successful were only 3. Kunj still tried, but Kavya never gave him response. Then, one day, someone rang Kunj's door bell, it was Kavya and her father. They came to ask Kunj's day for marriage. This news flew like a wind. When, it came to me, I busted out my feelings.
"I love him, yes I love him and I can't live without my gaboo even one second." I shouted. My mother entered my room, I busted out in her lap.
Kunj called me. I attended it.
"Hi" he said happily.
"Hi" I said, hiding my sadness from him.
"Twinkle, my marriage with Kavya is fixed on next Monday. Please come here for my help because u r the one who helped me to get Kavya."
"Yes Kunj. I will definitely attend your marriage." I said and sobbed a little. Kunj recognized that I was crying. He spoke "Don't cry I will be your gaboo only."
"Yes." i said. I ended the call.
I went to his house for the marriage rituals, I never wanted this to happen but it happened. I couldn't release my feelings.
The day came when Kunj and Kavya's marriage was to happen. I made my mind prepared that Kunj will never be mine. I saw Kavya coming down the stairs; she was looking very beautiful, just like a princess. I knew it now why Kunj loved her.
Kunj and Kavya were sitting in the mandap, when the pandit said "Phero ka samay hai." I was unable for me to see their marriage happening, therefore went in a side. Kunj and Kavya got up for the phere. After sometime Kunj and Kavya were married. It broke my heart.
I accidently met Kunj and Kavya in London. But, that time I was to married to Yuvi as I had to move on in my life. Kunj had a baby girl whom they named Inaara. As Kunj met me he hugged me very tightly as he did in the café. he said "This wasn't possible without u." I smiled at him. I wanted to tell him how much I loved him.
"Kunj I want to tell u something." He said "hmm"
"I lo…." "What" he said.
"I'm married." I said, keeping stone on my heart.
"That's great, but to whom."
"Yuvi." I said.
"Oh! that Yuvi, school one." I nodded. Just then, Yuvi and my baby boy, Ayaan came. Kunj greeted Yuvi and said that he was lucky to Twinkle as his wife. Yuvi nodded. Kunj excused us and he went from there. I saw him going from there. and thought that this time too I couldn't reveal my feelings to Kunj. Oh No!
Guys I hope u liked it.
Comment below.
I will be going to write one more os.
Till then take care.
Stay blessed.

Heritage Action on "Draft our Daughters" Amendment
Washington — A proposal to "Draft Our Daughters" was added to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) during committee markup last month. The amendment would require women between the ages of 18 and 26 to register for the Selective Service. Heritage Action released the following statement from chief operating officer Michael A. Needham:
"The Republican-controlled House should block any effort to force America's daughters into combat. More broadly, Congress should revisit the Obama administration's unilateral decision to open all combat roles."
In a new op-ed, The Heritage Foundation's Jennifer Marshall, Genevieve Wood and Steve Bucci explain:
While other arguments against including women in a draft can be made, some members of Congress and two federal court challenges already are seeking to exploit the opening of all combat roles to women to get a different result.
The combat exclusion was a significant factor in a 1981 Supreme Court case on registering women for Selective Service.
In Rostker v. Goldberg, the Supreme Court deferred to Congress, citing the combat distinction. "Since women are excluded from combat, Congress concluded that they would not be needed in the event of a draft, and therefore decided not to register them," wrote Justice William Rehnquist for the majority. "Congress was certainly entitled, in the exercise of its constitutional powers to raise and regulate armies and navies, to focus on the question of military need rather than 'equity.'"
If the draft were reinstated in a future conflict and women were included, what would the consequences be for combat effectiveness, for individual women sent into frontline ground combat, for the men alongside them, or for families and society at large?
With such looming questions unanswered, Congress should prohibit forcing women into combat, including through Selective Service registration. And, since many voices are already citing the fact that women can serve in all combat posts to argue that women must register for the draft, Congress should also revisit the blanket policy of women in combat.

Music festival 'marvelous'
I would like to express my sincere appreciation to all of the people who helped make the Seldovia Summer Solstice Music Festival one of the finest yet. The marvelous musical synergy that took place at this year's festival was due to the marvelous performers, both professional and local, the hundreds of man-woman hours put into the organizational details by the Seldovia Arts Council, Seldovia volunteers, the media and to those who donated from their hearts to make the event financially and physically possible. The event was absolutely fabulous.
Keep capitol out of Anchorage
This letter is written in response to a June 29 editorial of the Anchorage Voice of the Times (Clarion, July 1).
Isn't seat belt law for officials, too?
Boy am I tired of hearing that little treat of a slogan, Click It or Ticket. I am sick of it. It's on the TV, the radio and signs everywhere. Some big fed dollars must have come in. Remember when this law was proposed and then made? The official word was, "We are not going to be actively looking for violators. But if you get in an accident and it was obvious you didn't have your seat belt on, we will issue a minor summons."
Why would companies dump valuable product?
In reference to Bob Shavelson's letter (Do the right thing, June 29): Mr. Shavelson spews the same lies and untruths as others of his ilk have before him. He would have us believe that in this day and age, the Environmental Protection Agency would allow the oil companies in Cook Inlet to dump "millions of gallons of toxic waste into our fisheries each year."
Contributions appreciated

Bird vetch is a perennial plant with weak stems that climb and cling to other plants with coiling tendrils at the end of each leaf.
While waiting for salmon count to rise try trout fishing
Anglers starting to tire of whipping the water with little to show for their effort shouldn't be discouraged. This is the annual calm before the late-run salmon storm, and it won't be long now until the big fish bite is on.
Photo feature: Slow run
A feisty salmon caught on the Kasilof River earlier this week was one of only a handful of fish landed over the last few days. Fishing has slowed, but is expected to improve, as the late-runs of king and sockeye salmon begin to make their way into the river in the next few weeks.

Rain, rain go away
Even though it is raining and cool, nothing seems to deter golfers from hitting the fairways. Hello again from Bird Homestead Golf Course, located 11.8 miles out Funny River Road. 260-4653 will get us on the phone. Golfers are a breed of their own, even in adverse weather we just want to play golf. The rain doesn't keep the animals away either. On Wednesday on my way to work I saw a black bear on Birch Ridge Golf Course. So the critters aren't only out our way. I did see twin moose, and of course Mr. Coyote was waiting on me again. We are becoming close friends. I worry about him when I don't see him.
Twins take 2nd in tourney
Close, but no cigar.
Oilers lose again
The Anchorage Glacier Pilots used a seven-run fourth inning to send the Peninsula Oilers to their 10th consecutive loss, a 11-6 setback Thursday night in Anchorage.

Marquette Heads to Creighton on Saturday
Jan. 23, 2014
Marquette Notes | Watch Live (Paid) | Live Stats | Live Audio
The Marquette University women's basketball team looks to extend its four-game road winning streak win it heads to Omaha, Neb., Saturday, Jan. 25 at 3:05 p.m. Central time to take on the Creighton Bluejays.
Live video will be available at GoCreighton.com for a fee, along with free livestats.
The Golden Eagles (13-4) have won nine of their last twelve games, and the combined deficit in the three losses was a mere six points. After a tough 49-47 loss at home to St. John's on Jan. 18, Marquette rebounded with an 87-79 victory over Providence at the Al McGuire Center this past Tuesday, Jan. 21.
The Last Meeting
November 28, 2010
Omaha, Neb.
Creighton (11-8) fell on the road to Butler 58-52 in its most recent action on Jan. 18, with senior McKenzie Fujan leading the way with 16 points and seven rebounds. Sophomore guard Marissa Janning paces the Bluejays offensively averaging 19.3 points per contest. Creighton features a stingy defense that allows just 61.2 points a game, good for second in the BIG EAST Conference.
Saturday's meeting between the programs marks the first time Marquette and Creighton meet as members of the BIG EAST Conference. In a series dating back to 1986 Creighton holds the edge at 5-2.

For most starting pitchers, the pregame ritual on the road is the same.
You take the team bus to the ballpark, meaning you're the last man to get to the clubhouse. You watch some video, go over notes on your opponent and sit down for a conference with the pitching coach and catcher.
Maybe in the downtime you might fiddle around on the iPad or plug the headphones into the iPod and lose yourself in some tunes.
A's right-hander A.J. Griffin is not from that mold. Griffin spent the better part of an hour in the visitor's clubhouse in Yankee Stadium being musical, and it seemed as if the Yankees were the furthest thing on his mind.
Griffin was sitting on one of the four long leather sofas in the clubhouse when the clubhouse was opened to the media. He was playing his guitar, singing first in English, then in Spanish, then in French, and later back to Spanish and English again.
For a while he was sitting right next to outfielder Yoenis Cespedes, so much so that manager Bob Melvin said "I thought he was serenading him.''
And how is Griffin?
"He's pretty good,'' Melvin said. "But don't tell him that.''
Catcher John Jaso, another music fiend who took over playing the guitar at one point when Griffin took a break, said both Griffin's guitar playing and voice were pretty decent.
"He can play,'' Jaso said. "And he's got a nice guitar.''
Melvin said Griffin is no Randy Johnson or Curt Schillling, two pitchers famous for their solitary pregame rituals.
"Randy Johnson would not be one of those guys,'' Melvin said. "And neither was Curt Schilling. The thing about Griffin is that you can't tell (from his actions) what day he's pitching. He is the same every day.''
Melvin told the story of Griffin's first big league start against the San Francisco Giants. Buster Posey hit a two-run homer off him in the first inning, and Griffin came in and told his new teammates that was all the Giants were getting that day. Then he went out and pitched well enough to make it so.
It's too soon to tell, perhaps, but that attitude seems to foster a sense of fearlessness in Griffin, who was a winner right from the start when he jumped from the minor leagues to Oakland last year (7-1, 3.06) and who has been a little less consistent this year (2-2, 4.65).
But if being able to be relaxed in Yankee Stadium is a virtue, Griffin is a virtuoso.

We are at a slightly different juncture than we were in 2000. It seems to me, the issue of mandatory SSL is far from put to rest. In relation to RFC2804, it's one thing to take a position of not taking a position, which is fine and completely reasonable. It's another to promote a protocol that explicitly goes against the wishes of governments, and therefore creates problems for implementors, potentially criminalises users and implementors. Thats doesn't equate to not taking a position. Even if we put wiretapping issues aside, there are plenty of other reasons why it's IMO unfeasible to make SSL/TLS mandatory, and these relate mainly to administrative, security, and infrastructural issues. We simply are not at a place where deployment of SSL certificates beyond the realms of technically proficient operators is feasible to support. We don't have a viable deployable alternative to certificates. Shared-secret is not viable for the web at large. We are also not at a place where we've solved the issues relating to certificate verification. OCSP servers are a highly central point of failure (with enormous consequences) and go down. We didn't even touch on deployability of TLS/SSL into tiny footprints, or the non-zero costs in terms of latency and CPU / RAM at various points in the network. Arguments about users right for privacy are political arguments, and fall afoul of RFC 2804 on the other side. Corporates also have a right and an increasing requirement to know what their resources are being used for. This requirement is getting stronger not weaker, as countries around the world roll out laws around internet copyright abuse. For instance in NZ, there's a 3 strike system now, with large fines etc. Companies need to be able to protect themselves from liability for their users' actions. I don't really have much more on the topic of mandatory-to-use SSL. In the end, if that's where the specs go, we are just escalating the arms race, which simply incurs cost on the users of these protocols, for which history may not thank us. We'll just have all the pain of everyone having to deploy SSL, and we'll get MITM as well. Cheers Adrien > >S > >>-Rob >> >> >Received on Tuesday, 3 April 2012 01:56:23 UTC

Having worked as a caddie as a teenager, Kevin Steinthal, 20, is accustomed to the rigors of rolling out of bed at the crack of dawn. But on Tuesday, he set his alarm for the decidedly more ungodly hour of 3 a.m. so that he could show up for a stint as a live play-by-play broadcaster of a Japanese league baseball game televised by the Stamford-based network ONE World Sports.
"It's a completely different deal," Steinthal said afterwards, of the time shift.
Among the tests of his early morning on-air acuity: correctly pronouncing all the tongue-twisting names of the Japanese players, which included Hirokazu Sawamura, the starting pitcher for the Yomiuri Giants, a team often described as being "The New York Yankees of Japan."
The lanky Darien resident, who majors in math and business at Wake Forest University, said he made sure to practice as well as write down the names phonetically.
Steinthal is one of seven interns who are working this summer at ONE World Sports, a young sports network that aims to bring global sports to an American audience. The company, which launched its programming two and a half years ago with a focus on Asian sports, moved to Stamford a year ago after deciding to broaden its scope and become an HD network.
`Symbiotic relationship'
Armed with a staff of roughly 25 people, ONE World Sports is located at 250 Harbor Drive, a suite of studio and production facilities operated by Encompass Digital Media Center, which also supplies space for the YES Network and CBS Sports Network, among several other national cable networks.
The network, which has access to ratings for its programming, is available in 24 million homes and accessible through providers like the Dish Network, Optimum TV and Verizon FiOS.
Although relatively new to the scene, the company has from the start tried to build an internship program in which local area college students gain experience working for a national sports network. The work, which is part time, is unpaid but must go toward college credit.
"It's a really good symbiotic relationship," said Joel Feld, the network's executive vice president and executive producer.
Students who have set their sights on a career in broadcasting, television production or marketing get the hands-on experience they need to decide whether it's the right path for them, while the company gets an opportunity to identify potential future employees.
Feld, who got his own start working for ABC Sports in 1977, said he modeled the internship program after ones at the New England Sports Network and CBS Sports Network, where he also worked.
10 seconds an eternity
Among the universities in which the program seeks out candidates are the University of Connecticut, Fairfield University, Quinnipiac University and Sacred Heart University.
Tuesday's on-air challenge involved six of the seven interns working this summer; four of the individuals took turns joining professional sportscaster Ed Cohen as game analysts in the booth, while two others worked as producers -- rolling commercials, producing graphics and cueing the on-air broadcasters through their earpieces.Read Full Article
What stood out among the aspiring broadcasters was their excitement and passion, Cohen said. He added that it was also abundantly clear that they had all performed exhaustive research, arriving in the booth with notes to help them fill time during those pressure-filled moments when even just 10 seconds can feel like an eternity.
Cohen, a nine-year veteran who also works for CBS Sports and ESPN, said that ultimately the job of a broadcaster is to tell stories.
"They really latched on to that. In they own way they each told a very good story," he said.
Reality-show pitch
Later that morning, the team had yet another challenge: make a pitch before senior network executives about a new program.
The students presented their idea for "Out of My League," a two-minute segment that involved challenging professional athletes of one global sport to learn another. For the pilot, which they shot themselves, they taught soccer players from The New York Cosmos, whose games are broadcast on the network, to learn cricket.
One by one, the interns ran their cross-promotion concept before the experts, who looked on with sober faces behind a long conference table like judges on a reality show.
From the beginning, it was obvious that the team of novice sports execs had set a high bar for themselves. On behalf of the interns, Olivia Marcus, a Greenwich resident who is a broadcast journalism major at Southern Methodist University, thanked the collection of staff that had gathered to watch them.
"We want you to look back and remember your first and best group of interns," she said.

Watch what you pump
Updated 10:08 am, Wednesday, July 18, 2012
Cheaper gas may be headed our way soon, but that may not be good news for your lawn mower or boat motor, according to the Outdoor Power Equipment Institute (OPEI).
Right now you can pump E10 (10 percent ethanol added) at most gas stations, but the EPA has approved E15 gas, and as it becomes more readily available this summer, prices will be less.
There will be a sign on the pump advising consumers that E15 should only be used in newer vehicles, model year 2001 and newer, and not for any other power equipment.
OPEI is advising consumers that E15 is dangerous and may destroy or damage generators, chains saws, utility vehicles, lawn mowers, boats and marine engines, motorcycles, and four-wheelers, and they don't think a sign on the pump is going to be sufficient.
"It has always been that whatever was safe to put in your car was safe to put in your equipment," said Kris Kiser, president of OPEI. "Suddenly, in one fell swoop, that is no longer the case."
When the EPA led the transition to unleaded fuels, their own reports show a mis-fueling rate of nearly 15 percent, ten years after the introduction of unleaded gasoline, and even with a physical barrier at the pumps.
Between cheaper prices and general consumer disregard of warning labels, OPEI anticipates that dealers and service departments can expect many problems. Small engine-powered equipment is not designed to run on anything greater than E10; E15 can result in irreversible engine damage and expose operators to safety risks, according to OPEI.
The National Petrochemical and Refiners Association said, "The EPA's decision to rely solely on retail gasoline pump labels to protect consumers from mis-fueling with gasoline containing 15 percent ethanol is woefully inadequate."
The bottom line: it's up to you to avoid it.

Long Cardigan
Colour: grey (raven grey)
Colour: grey (raven grey)
This great long jacket feels just as good as it looks. The viscose mix gives its rough finish a soft feel. Ribbed hems on the waistband, sleeves and the large side provide a visual highlight. The long flowing silhouette creates a relaxed look.
We wear the dark grey long jacket open over a white long sleeved shirt and dark grey Marlene pants.
