December 28, 1996
SOUTH FLORIDASOUTH CAROLINA backup quarterback Chad Barnhardt, who lost the starter's battle but still played in all 11 games this season, is leaving to play for the University of South Florida, where he will be eligible to play immediately. South Florida begins play in NCAA I-AA next season. Barnhardt, 6 feet 1, is from Lake Wales. ''I'm sure playing time had something to do with it, too, but I think being closer to home was the main thing,'' Gamecocks assistant coach Wally Burnham said.

Rich holds true to principles — dooming her chances
Aaron Deslatte and Capitol View
August 15, 2014
TALLAHASSEE - Maybe Nan Rich should engineer her own political metamorphosis. She could hold a news conference, tear up her Democratic voter-registration card, go independent and demand to be let into the gubernatorial general-election debates. That might be the only way people would finally pay some attention to the Broward Democrat who stubbornly refuses to play the game and shift every core position to find the sweet spot between what progressive groups will tolerate and a majority of voters will embrace.

South Florida water district gets a new boss
By Kevin Spear, Orlando Sentinel
September 5, 2013
The South Florida Water Management District, which regulates water and wetlands use in the southern half of Metro Orlando and beyond, has a new executive director. The district, which has a reputation as a tough place for the top boss, welcomed on Thursday to the executive director's position Blake Guillory, who came from the same job at the Southwest Florida Water Management District. The South Florida district, based in West Palm Beach, is the largest by far of the state's five water districts; it extends from the southern half of downtown Orlando to the Florida Keys, taking in 7.7 million residents.
South Florida sees rain from system in Gulf of Mexico
From the Web
February 5, 2012
We're months away form the 2012 hurricane season, but the National Hurricane center is monitoring a non-tropical low-pressure system in the Gulf of Mexico. The system is interacting with an upper-level trough and is producing widespread clouds, showers and scattered thunderstorms over much of western and central Cuba, the lower Florida Keys and the adjacent waters of the Gulf of Mexico, Florida Straits and northwest Caribbean Sea. The Hurricane Center says the system's surface circulation is becoming better defined and shower activity has increased and become better organized.

South Florida may hold preseason camp in Vero Beach
By Matt Murschel and Sentinel Staff Writer
July 21, 2010
Officials at South Florida are in negotiations to hold preseason camp at the Vero Beach Sports Village , a site formerly known as Dodgertown. The complex has been largely unused since the Dodgers moved their spring training to Arizona in 2008. With 90 villas for student-athletes and coaches, the facility would have enough room to house the team but the initial concern could be over the cost to USF. According to the St. Petersburg Times , USF assistant athletic director Chris Freet confirmed the school has been in talks with officials but declined to say more.

South Florida beaches
August 13, 2014
Hollywood Beach Hooray for Hollywood! Hollywood Beach, that is. This sun-splashed mecca has evolved into a must-go-to destination. It's South Beach sans the over-the-top bling-bling -- and a lot more family-friendly. As a teen, I hung out here every spare second, pretending to be a rock star on the band-shell stage, dousing myself with baby oil and lathering my locks with Sun-In hair lightener. The beach is as beautiful as I remembered, but travelers don't visit just for the sand and surf.
UCF optics whiz turns lab work into marketable products
By Richard Burnett, Orlando Sentinel
August 10, 2014
Like a kindly uncle, physicist Shin-Tson Wu banters with his students as they work in an optics lab at the University of Central Florida. They become respectfully silent, however, when he sits down at a microscope to peer at the pixels of an iPhone screen. This is where they learn from an internationally honored scientist who will soon be inducted into the new Florida Inventors Hall of Fame. It is also where Wu creates and tests his high-tech ideas for the commercial world. "Whatever work we do in the lab is tied directly to some product in the future," said Wu, 61, a professor of optics science.

Police in Port St. Lucie captured a 12-foot, 120-pound Burmese Python Friday morning that residents say had been eating neighborhood cats.

9-year-old boy bitten by alligator in East Lake Toho
By Amy Pavuk and Mike Lafferty, Orlando Sentinel
August 8, 2014
A trapper is on the scene this morning of an alligator attack that injured a 9-year-old boy at a St. Cloud lake. Greg Workman of the state Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission said the trapper is "going to try and eliminate that threat and any other threat in the area," meaning other large gators that appear to have lost their fear of humans. The boy, identified as James Barney, was bitten while swimming in East Lake Tohopekaliga about 2:30 p.m. Thursday. The boy suffered three superficial bites and was airlifted to Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children in stable condition, said St. Cloud spokeswoman Sandra Ramirez.

Florida gains with green policies taking root: Editorial
August 3, 2014
Environmental protection in Florida went into a deep freeze after the Great Recession pummeled the state's economy and voters then elected Gov. Rick "let's get to work" Scott. Funding for conservation programs took a nose dive, and environmental regulations were relaxed in the name of creating more jobs. But there are some signs of a thaw under the Scott administration. Florida's environment will of course be better off if the thaw persists, but so will its economy - and its taxpayers.
Kissimmee River battle looms: Water for fish or cities?
By Kevin Spear, Orlando Sentinel
July 27, 2014
The Kissimmee River, which begins as rain running off Orlando streets and has had nearly $1 billion in environmental repairs along its run to South Florida, is under scrutiny again for how much water it could provide to Central Florida cities while still preserving its rebounding fish and wildlife. The South Florida Water Management District already has put enormous effort into figuring out the biology of the liquid spine of the greater Everglades ecosystem and how many millions of gallons of water could be pumped from it. That effort - amid warnings from environmentalists and utility companies' worries that little water would be available for new development - was shelved five years ago. Now it's back and likely more contentious than ever.
State must drive back heroin like pill mills: Editorial
July 19, 2014
When Charles Dickens penned " It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, " it wasn't meant as commentary on Florida's modern war on drugs. Yet Dickens' paradox aptly describes Florida's ironic plight. This month, Florida - long ailing from a deadly epidemic of prescription-drug abuse linked to the state's proliferation of shady "pill mills" - received a favorable prognosis from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. From 2003 to 2009, Florida's overdose deaths skyrocketed 61 percent, from 1,804 to 2,905.

The Stokes County Water Sewer Authority met in a regular meeting on October 7, 2004, in the Commissioners Chambers of the Administration Building, (the Ronald Wilson Reagan Memorial) in Danbury with the following members present:
Wayne Smart, Chairman
John Hawkins, Vice Chairman
Ron Clifford, Member
Arzell Montgomery, Member
Jay Kinney, Public Works Director
Julia Edwards, Finance Director
Brenda Carter, Secretary
Absent: Worth Hampton, Member
Also present: Rick Morris, County Manager
Tory Wagoner, Cavanaugh and Associates
B.J. Clifford
Mr. Smart brought the meeting to order and asked for approval of the September 9, 2004, minutes. Mr. Montgomery made a motion to approve the minutes, seconded by Mr. Clifford and the motion was approved.
Mr. Tory Wagoner with Cavanaugh and Associates gave an update on the Feasibility Study for Walnut Cove. He noted that there were three phases; the first was to see what the operation maintenance cost of their existing system; the second, was the hydraulic model, if the valve is opened what will happen in the Walnut Cove system, will the pressure be a problem and will it work throughout the town and step three would be a Water Source Analysis which would be a mixture of the water from the Walnut Cove wells and Winston-Salem water and to see if this would work. They have the cost for each phase and recommend to start with the first phase. At that point the SCWS Authority Board would make a decision to sale water at this rate to Walnut Cove. If the Board decided to do this, then would move to the second phase. He noted that the cost of $5,800.00 for operating and maintenance, $4,000.00 for the Hydraulic Model, based on Walnut Cove already having the biggest piece of the model and $4,000 for the mixing analysis. This would be a total amount of THIRTEEN THOUSAND EIGHT HUNDRED DOLLARS ($13,800.00).
Mr. Wagoner noted that Walnut Cove could present a proposal as to what they think they are paying to produce water. He noted that Cavanaugh could cut the costs by looking at the books in the Town Office and estimating the costs.
Mr. Smart was asked if the Town of Walnut Cove was interested in this joint venture, sharing the cost, and Mr. Smart replied that he thought they would be in agreement. After further discussion Mr. Smart asked Mr. Wagoner if he would attend a meeting with the Town Board of Walnut Cove to discuss this issue. Mr. Smart will notify Mr. Wagoner of the date first Monday in November and time. Ms. Edwards informed the Board that the date would be November 2nd.
Mr. Kinney spoke on behalf of Mrs. Jane Priddy Charleville, . He gave an update on the $400,000.00 grant application for the Town of Danbury. Mr. Rick Morris, County Manager, informed the Board that he had a copy of the full grant application for the SCWS Authority's review.
Mr. Smart noted that the Highway #65 Project and Barry West's interest in Brookhaven Development being added to the water line.
Mr. Wagoner noted that he had two separate cost estimates from a survey made in September, 2000, for running water down Brookhaven Road. The first was with fire protection for a cost of $60,000, this would run 6" line and two fire hydrants and the second cost of $47,000 was for domestic water only, no fire protection, and running a 2" line. This would be a cost of $6,000 for each connection (ten homes on this road) with fire protection or $4700 without fire protection. He thought the cost difference today would be very little.
Mr. Smart asked about the benefits by running water to these residents. Mr. Wagoner noted that with the $1,000 per connection, this would generate $10,000 physical revenue and if you run 2" lines that would leave a cost of $37,000 for the Board if the residents did not contribute more. Mr. Wagoner had a copy to be taken to Mr. West of these cost estimates.
Mr. Smart asked Mr. Wagoner for an update on the Sauratown Project.
Mr. Wagoner noted that he had received an e-mail from his contact at The Rural Center, Julie Haigler, she noted that she had not talked with Billy Ray Hall, the Executive Director of The Rural Center concerning this matter. Mr. Wagoner noted that he was waiting to hear from Ms. Haigler.
Mr. Wagoner informed the Board that he was still having communications with the City of King and they were also waiting to hear from The Rural Center.

Internet Shopping Has Changed My Life
The other day I looked around my hometown and started counting the businesses that had gone under since the big box retailers moved in. With Wal-Mart especially, our local shops just can't compete. And, sadly, the loss of those homegrown businesses also means the loss of the uniqueness of their products.
Want to buy a lamp now? Go to Target, Kohls, Home Depot, Wal-mart, Menards, it doesn't make much difference. You're going to get the same lamp that's sold by the thousands everywhere in the country. Unless...... you look online. That's where the unique businesses have gone. That's also where some fantastic bargains are, too. I love hunting for both.
I used to go into Chicago and shop for shoes at Marshall Fields. But then Fields was gobbled up by Macys, and they carry the same shoes that Nordstrom's and Bloomingdales and all the mega-department stores carry, so what's the point of making the trip into the city? I can find those shoes online.
And not only can I find them IN my size, but also I can get them overnight, return them for free, and don't have to waste my gas doing so. Another plus: I don't have to pay Chicago's exorbitant sales taxes or outrageous parking fees (thanks to Mayor Daley's brilliant plan to privatize the parking meters. And by the way, Michigan Avenue's sidewalks are snow-covered, slippery and treacherous. Hello! This is the Mag Mile. Maybe they could privatize the sidewalks, too?)
Another great find: those expensive little batteries for my cordless phones! I have three phone stations and each one needs a battery that lasts a year. Those suckers cost upwards of $35 each at a phone store. But online? I found them for $8.00 each! I bought half a dozen. I still get excited when I think about it. (Clearly, it doesn't take much to excite me.)
Also electronics. Oh, the TV deals out there! And here's where our local business is doing itself serious harm. My husband wanted to patronize the electronics store in town, so he went there first when he was looking for a flat panel TV. There was one salesman on the floor and he was talking to a customer. My husband stood there for ten minutes before he was even acknowledged with a nod, and wandered around looking at the televisions himself for another ten before he got fed up and walked out. That is poor service! It's happened to us before there. Now we won't go back. Plus we found out later they charge for delivery. In town!
So guess who got our business instead? Amazon. Not only did we get free shipping, and no payments for a year, but they also offer white glove treatment, so someone not only delivered it to our door, but also set it up for us. Amazing!
Okay, I just read that paragraph and realize I sound like an infomercial. I sincerely apologize.
There are great deals to be found on the 'net. What kinds of bargains have you found?
**As for the truth and lie. It's true I was abducted by a crazy camel driver. (See my post from October) but I would never have had the courage to try out for any pageant, let alone Miss Indiana. I never even made it through a piano recital without freezing up.

Scaffold Accidents
Scaffold Accidents in New York City
Construction workers put their lives at risk every time they use a scaffold. Working on scaffolds and other platforms can be extremely dangerous.

Most types of construction work make a second case possible, but it cannot be routine maintenance.

making progress!!!
So we are making great progress!!! Evan is still tube fed but has passed a couple of things now. We trialed coconut and he did great. Evan likes the "so delicious" dairy and soy free ice cream! He also passed his corn trial with kix!!! He's loving his buckwheat cereal with just water. We give him a sugar cube every once in a while as a treat lol. My next thing I'm dying to try is a meat of some kind. I'm thinking Hamburg. I'm kind of scared of the poultry since he can't have dairy or eggs. He now weighs 25.8 lbs at 30 months old!!! Yayyyyyy!! I'm excited!

March 2011 FINALLY AN UPDATE
Oh gosh where do I ever begin...the last time I posted was in August of 2010. I have been so busy.... well the hemp milk was his last reaction before he was admitted into Childrens Hospital in Boston. He weighed only 19.5 lbs and the doctors were concerned. Now just so we all remember-Evan was only eating Neocate Nutra-an oatmeal consistanc type of formula that is very incomplete in nutrition. So-he was admitted to Boston after an upper endoscopy-they said everything looked great-no issues. While he was under they placed and NG tube down his throat. They also realized his potassium was dangerously low so he was sent to the ICU to get his potassium up-we were in that section for 6 days trying to get it up. His potassium level was 1.9...anyway, during that time frame the doctors wanted to try him on some formula that was amino acid based. So they trialed him on a Nestle product which he seemed to do well on for a couple days. We were excited. By the third day on the formula we were sent to the GI floor where they decided that instead of doing a continuous feed through his tube-to do a bolus feed (so he got 8ounces over a 1 hour period. By his second one he had a major "reaction". Classic but one of the worst ones I have seen. By this point-they want to try him on Neocate JR-which he has failed in the past so I say no. Then they decide they want him to try regular food-now mind you at this point he failed every food we trialed, but I figured since we were at the hospital-maybe if he reacted they could figure something out. We decided on bananas. 16 hours after the banana it was deemed a "fail" food. When he threw it up-it looked like he never even digested it at all, which we brought up to the doctors. Finally after hours on google and my experience with my neice I decided to bring up the possibility of gastroparesis. They decided to run the test and figured out his stomach was 80% paralyzed. They placed a G tube in his stomach and we found Neocate One + which worked great. SO-the reason his stomach was mostly paralyzed was because his potassium was so critically low for so long his muscles stopped working. SO he is on erythromicin and zantac through his tube. He definately still has FPIES-the scary thing though is that the foods he had reacted to atleast 6 months before the hospital could have been gastroparesis episodes-they are the same as far as how the reaction looks. I got brave though a couple months ago and Neocate decided it would be a good idea to discontinue the formula that worked so well for him so were forced into trying the JR again-he failed, but on a good note-he does not have gastroparesis because his potassium has been great consistently. He is 24.2 lbs since October and he is now eating sweet potatoes-carrots, sodelicious coconut water based ice cream, apples and squash!!! and he is on an overnight feed with his tube but it seems better- we decided our next trial will be soon with either wheat or corn. So just wanted to update you guys!!!! <3

Failed Hemp Milk-getting annoyed
So, I decided to trial Evan on hemp milk. I made it myself from hulled hemp seeds to ensure there were no perservatives or anything else. I had been giving him the seeds mixed in with the Neocate Nutra. He did fine for 8 days. Then he wasnt too interested in them, so I stopped for 3 days. Today I made the hempmilk and he drank a little. 2 hours later he projectile vomited while I was holding him. It was like the peaches though. He played in between vomiting and only did about 4 times. This is so frustrating. I would have thought hemp of all things would have been ok.....dont know what to trial next...

Another Reaction
Well, Evan decided to try and grab a cup of milk off the counter and pulled it down, it spilled on him. I didnt think any got into his mouth, but a drop or 2 must have after I wiped his mouth out. I called out of work thinking he probably would not react. WRONG, he started being emotionless after 2 hours of the incident. Within 20 minutes of his pale emotionless face he projectile vomited 3 times and just looked like crap. His lips were losing color, he was lethargic and was very uncomfortable. I feel so alone sometimes. The sucky thing is he is only eating Neocate Nutra and water-that is all, he has reacted to everything. Its tough, i dont even know how to go about toothpaste...??? I want to try hempmilk but am afraid. My goal is to try it Monday morning. I figured I should give it time between reactions, he is only 20.6 lbs at 20 months almost...So far he has failed: dairy, oats, soy, carrots, peaches, pears, apples, bananas, Neocate Junior. I am at a loss here ladies, i need help...words of advice? I just dont know anymore...

Well, I decided that carrots, breastmilk and neocate nutra were not enough for Evan, so I tried peaches yesterday. He seemed fine ...til today. This morning at 8:30 am I gave him 1 baby spoon of peaches and he failed at 5:30 pm...8 hours later?! yes 8 hours later...I always though, "wow, that must be so hard on people that have to deal with waiting that long, cuz Evan is usually 2-4 hours..." Well I understand now. I am annoyed more than anything but I do have faith that he will be able to thrive more than he is... he is 19 lbs and is almost 17 months old. I have been debating trying the hemp milk, but am unsure about it...I think next will be buckwheat cereal. Anyway his reaction this time was a little different...he nursed like he always does before a reaction then right after , he projectile vomited EVERYWHERE and kept on throwing up...then was a little lethargic, but I waited...and he started playing and would throw up about every 20 minutes to a half hour, but remained in a playful mood after the first hour of the reaction, but it lasted for 4 hours this time which was the longest but most mild... I will update soon on what I decide to do...

Monday, March 8, 2010
Well, its been awhile since I have blogged and I thought I would share some things. Evan is 15 months old and is still nursing and on Neocate Nutra twice a day and drinks some water out of his sippy cup. He is addicted to nursing....which is nice because I love the bond, BUT I will be happy when he is on other things. I am in the middle of trialing carrots with him and he does ok on the occasional Neocate One+. But I am not consistent with the formula because he wont take a bottle and drinks only from a sippy cup, so he doesn't drink enough. Sometimes I am so frustrated. He is 15 months and is the size of a freakin 9 month old, 18.6 lbs. I feel so stuck and alone sometimes in this and I feel so fortunate that I atleast have this and the support of you ladies. I want to try new things with him but I think he has aversions to food. He gags a lot and is on stage 1. But every day I give him a little more carrots and he seems okay with that.

Evan's GI appointment
Well, I took Evan today to his GI doctor and he thinks Evan has EE and/or FPIES. His symptoms are all FPIES, I looked into EE and it does not seem likely at all... He is still only on breastmilk and Neocate Nutra. His GI doctor said if he TRULY had FPIES he would not be able to tolerate breastmilk....NOT TRUE AT ALL...I need to just put all my faith in God. I know whatever the case is we will be okay. So next I need to schedule an upper GI and biopsy...I guess we will see how this goes.

My ohhhh my how the semester has flew by. Just yesterday it felt like I was struggling to creating my first gif. No look at me! I have a fully operated personal blog and all. I couldn't have asked for a better class this semester. It was fun learning new things in this class as well as interacting with classmates. One of my favorite things about this class is how Prof. Seslow made us utilize various desktop applications to create our work. An example of this is how the class was able to use giphy, imgur or photoshop to create a gif. It goes to show that in the age of technology, there is always numerous ways to get things done, but it takes time to master all of them.
My favorite assignment I did in class was creating net art.
What I like most about it was that I was able to utilize one of my own photos as the subject and just get the glitch art off of the internet. I am definitely interested in making more of these in the near future. This assignment was also frustrating for me at the same time because I was not able to figure out how to use new hive or to.be in order to join my photo and the glitch art together. Instead, I ended up using Photoshop which took me some time but it still got the job done.
All in all, I can not complain about the experiences I had in CT 101. I learned a lot from this class and plan to hone the skills I have learned too. As for the future of my website, its still debatable at this point. Though it is a great platform, my problem will be finding time out of my schedule to post on my blog. I will try and see how things go. Well it has been real CT 101.
P.S. You should definitely follow my photography journey on Instagram, and hmu if you are interested in collaborating after the semester is over. Good luck on finals.

Chief Executive CY Leung
For companies, e-commerce is rapidly becoming the critical component for boosting both online and off-line sales. The numbers bear that out. According to eMarketer, global retail e-commerce sales will more than double, from US$1.9 trillion last year to US$4.1 trillion by 2020. The Mainland of China's retail e-commerce sales alone will soar over the same period – from US$900 billion to US$2.4 trillion.
Hong Kong consumers have been somewhat less keen to shop online. Hong Kong's e-commerce sales increased from $285 billion in 2012 to some $400 billion in 2014. But that, still, accounts for less than 5% of our total business receipts. This is, perhaps, understandable given our high population density, advanced transportation, and easily accessible shopping malls. It is no surprise that consumers find it convenient enough to just visit the stores.
But we are catching up. Online shopping – including cross-border online shopping – has enjoyed much greater popularity in recent years. And that makes perfect sense. After all, Hong Kong has everything in place for embracing e-commerce. Our information and communications technology is world-class. We regularly top ranking tables when it comes to Internet connection speed and household broadband penetration. On average, each Hong Konger keeps more than two mobile devices.
More importantly, these devices are supported by sophisticated telecommunications infrastructure, linking Hong Kong to the rest of the world through 10 regional and trans-Pacific submarine cable systems, as well as 10 satellites for external communications with 45 terabits per second in total capacity.
The recent decision by Facebook and Google to build a new trans-Pacific cable between Hong Kong and Los Angeles makes a clear and compelling statement about Hong Kong's competitive position. On completion next year, the cable will increase our capacity by 120 terabits per second. That is equivalent to 80 million simultaneous high-definition video calls between Hong Kong and Los Angeles.
Beyond the hardware, Hong Kong is blessed with a sound legal system and the free flow of information, capital and people – all essential for the healthy growth of the e-commerce sector. And the fact that e-commerce can save on rent and storage costs, make business deals quicker and more efficient, as well as create a personalised shopping experience for consumers – makes it attractive enough for Hong Kong companies, including SMEs (small and medium-sized enterprises), to build up their e-commerce business.
My Government – one that has put innovation and technology at the forefront of our agenda – will surely support our companies and enterprises in developing e-commerce. The Technology Voucher Programme launched last year subsidises SMEs in using technological services and solutions to improve productivity. Our other initiatives – investment in start-ups, building of a smart city, promotion of use of data analytics and the Internet of Things – among others, will surely lay the ground for more businesses to take up technology and e-commerce.
We are also mapping out the long-term strategy for promoting e-commerce in Hong Kong. The Economic Development Commission, which I chair, has established a special expert group to look into boosting e-commerce here. I look forward to its recommendations for supporting our SMEs and helping Hong Kong take its place as a regional, even global, e-commerce hub.
To make that a reality, however, we need the support and the commitment of the Hong Kong business community. In that regard, today's forum – organised by our major chambers – makes a strong statement.
Chief Executive CY Leung gave these remarks at the Internet Economy Summit "Forging Ahead with Doing Business Online" Forum on April 11.

I hope you all had a fabulous weekend! I got to spend some quality time away with my husband, brother, sister-in-law and best friends for a quick overnight get away. We went to the beach, but not before making a pit stop at the casino. I didn't hit it big, but I didn't gamble our house away either. All in all, we had an awesome time and I can't wait to do it again.
My new rug that I ordered from Overstock.com came the day before we left for the beach. I loved it as soon as I took it out of the package and rolled it down the hall. Our old rug was starting to get worn out and it was definitely time for a new one. I searched online and found two rugs at Overstock.com that I really liked (Flat Weave Stripe blue runner and Moroccan Chatham dark blue and ivory rug). I went back and forth between the two for a few days, until I finally decided on the striped runner. The deciding factor? I felt it gave me more options when the time comes to replace the living room rug.
The other change in our hallway is the gallery wall. When we repainted our hall and living room a few months ago I knew I wanted to change the pictures around on the walls. At the end of our hall I used to have a large wedding picture, but now I have a floor to ceiling gallery wall. Most of the frames for the wall were purchased at IKEA with the exception of the white ones. When I got home I laid all the frames on the floor, decided on an arrangement then hung them up one at a time.
On all the lower pictures I put command strips on the back to make sure they stay on the wall. With young kids and a dog with a crazy strong tail this was a must.
I hacked the 2 RIBBA IKEA frames by blocking off the corners and applying gold leaf Rub 'n Buff.

Salman Khan was recently heard praising former girlfriend Katrina Kaif, saying she is one of the strongest women he has ever known. During a recent interview, Katrina was asked to comment on the "Sultan" actor's remarks.
"It's such a general statement that it's hard to dissect it. Strength can mean different things to different people. If you are a person who knows his or her mind, who believes in his or her choices, and has conviction in his or her decisions, then, for me, all those qualities define a strong woman," the "Fitoor" actress told Hindustan Times.
Katrina recently made an appearance on Salman's popular show "Bigg Boss 9" to promote "Fitoor". The superstar called Katrina one of the strongest women he has knwon when she told "Bigg Boss 9" contestants she would not have been able to take the pressure in the show if she was in their place. Salman's praise for Katrina did not end at calling her a strong woman. He added: "When one keeps working hard, talent keeps increasing. The whole country is in awe of you, including me."
Meanwhile, Katrina has been in news these days for two reasons — her upcoming movie "Fitoor" and her reported break-up with Ranbir Kapoor. However, the actress still prefers to keep her private life under wraps.
In the interview, she was asked to make a straight comment on the rumours of her and Ranbir's relationship, to which Katrina said: "From the start of my career to now, personal stories have always come hand in hand with the professional ones. So, I take it the same way as I have always done. I take rumours with a pinch of salt. I have always taken a stance of not commenting on my personal life. So, for me, there is nothing to address."

Quick Reference
The first man to settle on the earth was Abua. Egule, his wife, is the mother of people.
Abua and Egule, sent by the supreme god, Ake, descended from heaven on a rope. They were the first humans on earth, but animals were already present. Abua's first child was Agana, the first human to emerge from the ground. Because he was the first, he is worshiped as a god. Abua and Egule also bore Otaba, Amogan, and Akpede. Otaba, fond of fish, settled near the water and founded four communities. Amogan, a hunter, lived in the countryside; he established nine communities. Akpede, a doctor, settled near trees that provided the materials for his medicines. His children built the town that bears his name and seven other towns.

On our second day in Sucre we visited the Museo de Arte Indigena or Museum of Indigenous Art. The museum is part of a project to revive hand-woven crafts of Bolivia. The exhibition provides a historical time line of the Candelaria, Potolo and Tarabuco styles of weaving. There are ancient and current tools on display as well as a variety of beautiful pieces of work for sale.
As part of the demonstration local weavers on site create their own tapestries. It was amazing to watch these two talented young women at work. I could not help myself but to engage them in conversation about the projects they were working on.
Jalq'a Style
Felipa is a 20 year old from Potolo, Bolivia who has been weaving for five years. She works 8 hours a day; 6 days a week and it will take her 3 months to finish her project.
I asked her how she knows what design she is creating, as I did not see her looking at a guide or picture. "I have it in my head," she answered. I was impressed. Felipa told me that in her home town of Potolo families have mini shops in their home where tourists can come and buy the works of art right from the home of the local people.
Tarabuco Style
Elizabeth is a 24 year old from Tarabuco, Bolivia who has been weaving for 8 years. She also works 8 hours a day; 6 days a week and it will take her 4 months to finish this project.
In the town of Tarabuco a large market is held every Sunday where you can purchase many different products created by the weaving. Click here to see our Tarabuco Market article.
The entrance fee for the museum is 16 Bolivianos per person (about $2.20 USD.) There is also a shop on site at the museum where visitors can purchase various types of tapestries and other items such as change purses made with a touch of each style of weaving.
From Bolivia's salt flats to silver mines, to high altitude cities, Bolivia has one of the most diverse landscapes in all of Latin America.

Oh, July.
I want something beautiful.
It's not enough to take the day by storm,
Or end it knowing I have spent my waking moments
Doing everything I can to save the best dregs from this cup for last;
To keep the course of true love running smooth;
To keep loud opinions tempered and
The slow but frenzied buzz of politics at bay, where it belongs.
Give me the world instead.
I am in need of one good book, a flashlight, and a pair of shoes
That were not made for heavy lifting.
Give me the road.
Less traveled or no,
I'll take it,
Even if—especially—
It only brings me home.

I'll Be Home for Christmas?
"But that's not fair! Since we already live near your relatives, we should spend Christmas with my family!"
For many families, where to spend Christmas is at best, a yearly dilemma; for others, it's an all-out annual battle, with heated discussions and terribly hurt feelings.
Mission-Minded Families, with Ann Dunagan
Recently, an informal "counseling" question with a newlywed bride turned to a passionate discussion about family life, missions, and total surrender. This God-loving friend and her new husband were having a common early-marriage struggle about where to spend their first Christmas. Since they were already living near his family and relatives, wasn't it "right" that they celebrate Christmas time with her family?
"I'll be Home for Christmas"
"Isn't it an awesome song, with a heart-tugging theme?
With four of our seven children now "grown-up" and living on their own, it's a momma-dream I can relate to . . . sprinkled with annual hopes and anticipation. Christmas-at-home brings to mind favorite traditions, thoughts of yummy delicacies, memories of siblings laughing together and playing games, and of course, snow and mistletoe.
As a surrendered mission-minded believer, I've come to understand that my lovely "Home-Sweet-Home" Christmas-dream isn't necessarily aguaranteed "momma-right" I should expect or think I "deserve."
This year, our oldest son, a 1st Lieutenant in the US Marines, will spend his Christmas season serving our nation in Afghanistan. Our next son just got married (this month!!!) to a sweet girl whose family lives over 2,000 miles away. And our oldest daughter has a serious sweetheart who is a third-generation missionary kid . . . whose family has been faithfully ministering for years in a very needy area of the world, in Niger, West Africa!
A Mission-Minded Christmas . . . focuses on GOD'S HOME:
We all know the clichés, how, "Jesus is the Reason for the Season" and "Wise men still seek Him"; but have you and your family ever considered your willingness to surrender to God's purpose for Christmas, in every nitty-gritty area?
As I shared my heart with my newlywed friend, and encouraged her to surrender her "rights" and expectations to God, I shared this inspiring true-life Christmas story about a missionary with Wycliffe Bible Translators:
Christmas means leaving home, not going home . . .
It was only a few days before Christmas as Bernie May, a pilot for Wycliffe Bible Translators successfully delivered emergency medical supplies to the isolate Amazon village. Now he eagerly anticipated being back with his wife and children in their South American home-away-from-home. Yet as the evening grew dark, he knew he would not be able to fly out until the morning.
With his pontoon plane waiting on the river, Bernie arranged for temporary protection for the night. But then . . . it began to rain. The rain continued, even up until Christmas Eve, the missionary felt increasingly depressed by his misfortune. His wife, Nancy, and their boys were six hours away; and by this time, they would have received his radio message: he would not be home for Christmas.
As a family, they had prepared their hearts to be separated from their loved ones and friends, but it was Christmas Eve . . . and they were now separated even from each other.
Back in Pennsylvania, everyone would be coming home from church-to the sounds of caroling, the smell of roasting turkey, and the sight of falling snow. But where was God's missionary? Here he was . . . stuck in a remote jungle . . . in a makeshift shelter . . . in the pouring rain . . . alone.
In Ruth Tucker's book From Jerusalem to Irian Jaya, Bernie May tells of his experience:
"Oh God," I moaned, "I'm in the wrong place." . . . But that night, under my mosquito net, I had a visitation from God-something like those shepherds must have had on the hills of Bethlehem.
There were no angels, and no bright lights. But as I lay there in my hammock, desperately homesick, I felt I heard God say, "My son, this is what Christmas is all about. Jesus left heaven and on Christmas morning He woke up in the 'wrong place'-a stable in Bethlehem. Christmas means leaving home, not going home. My only begotten Son did not come home for Christmas-He left home to be with you."
-- Excerpted from The Mission-Minded Family - Releasing Your Family to God's Destiny, by Ann Dunagan - Published by Biblica - Click for a FREE Sample)
Christmas, and everything about true Bible-believing Christianity, is all about God and His Greatness (including God's GREAT COMMANDMENT, to love God and love others: Matthew 22:36-40, and God's GREAT COMMISSION, to go into all the world to share God's love with others: Matthew 28:19, Mark 16:15).
As your family is deciding where to spend Christmas this year, remember to keep the big picture in your mind, and in your heart.
Christmas is about so much more than our home, our family and our "rights." The true meaning of Christmas centers on the reality of God's home in heaven (because that's why Jesus came), loving people into God's family, and surrendering our "rights" to Him, so others can go to heaven too.

ANNAPOLIS -- A House committee considered a bill yesterday that would practically ban the private health insurance industry from Maryland, put doctors on a strict annual budget and create a Canadian-style "universal" system.
It was the first of three hearings in the House to examine the major health-care reform plans before the legislature this year. Most observers give those bills slim chance of becoming law this year, but supporters of the Canadian system think momentum for such a plan is building.
"Tinkering is not the answer. We need major reform," said Del. Paul G. Pinsky, D-Prince George's, sponsor of what he calls the Maryland Universal Health Care Plan. The United States spends more than 12 percent of its gross domestic product for health care, and that is expected to increase to 20 percent by 2000, Mr. Pinsky told the committee.

Flash Mobbery Portland: Black Mobs Loot Albertsons and Nordstroms in Portland Area
A flash mob targeted a Troutdale, Oregon Albertsons store last weekend. Investigators are trying to identify the suspects.
KGW reported:
Another flash mobbery was reported at a local Nordstrom's store in the area.
World Net Daily reported:
Black mob violence has taken on a new note in Portland, Ore. It's not the unsuspecting passersby or the corner convenience store that's the target here.
It's Nordstrom's.
Just weeks ago, a group of 10-15 hoodie-wearing blacks allegedly stole clothing and raced out of the store. Their actions were captured on video.
So far, the evidence makes it looks like just one more of the hundreds of episodes of racial lawlessness that have taken place in more than 60 cities over the last three years.
But on a local forum, the reaction gave the situation a truly unique flavor:
"As an employee of a Portland area Nordstrom I have to wonder why you think that we care?" said Jason Handleman. "Things like this make work interesting and I hold no ill-will toward anyone in this group. Our security personnel spend more time concerned with employees than clientele, and honestly most employees, at my store, would not help them if they were in an altercation."
A Nordstrom manager did not respond to a request for comment.
But other Portland commenters joined in the forum. From an anonymous participant, "Rich white high school students wait, and grow up to flash mob our economy and legally manipulate our Congress with unregulated lobbying. They are taught by their rich white parents that they are helping grow the economy through deregulation and small government.
"Funny, the Oregonian does not report on the rich old white guys who flash mob and are hijacking our economy and schools. It's well reported in many respected and less corporate newspapers: Guardian, BBC, Aljazeera, Le Monde, and Democracy Now."

Making its debut is the Aviator's Practical Organizer, a new system that helps student pilots organize and understand the knowledge needed for the oral and flight exams.
Created by Teresa Guillemot, the Aviator's Practical Organizer (APO) is an organizational tool for private, instrument and commercial student pilots that help them compile and organize all the pieces of information necessary to successfully complete the oral exam and flight exam. The APO is customizable to the student's flight training and specific aircraft while ensuring he or she has met all the requirements and tasks outlined in the Practical Test Standard.
"Using the PTS as an outline, the APO guides the student through the training requirements and captures all of the disparate pieces of information into one easy-to-reference tool," explained Guillemot. "One of the most stressful components of flight training is the practical test, which is the oral and flight exam. Knowledge is power, and the APO puts the student in control of the relevant information he or she needs to grasp to successfully pass the oral exam."
The APO also works as a checklist and progress report, she noted. As each component of the PTS is completed, the student can add the appropriate information for that section. Using a binder format, the APO features tabbed sections that correspond to the PTS, making topics easier to digest and retain. When it's time for the oral exam, the student not only has everything needed to succeed, he or she has a complete training record of the rating that can be referenced for future Biennial Flight Reviews and other recurrent training.
"The APO doesn't instruct, it organizes. Only your instructor can provide the best training plan for you. The APO supports and reinforces what the instructor is teaching on the ground and in the air," added Guillemot.
She recently donated 50 copies of the APO to The Girls in Flight Training (GIFT) Academy, a program that offers free ground instruction and flight training for women in all stages of training, from first-time fliers to those working on advanced ratings. The nationally recognized event was held Nov. 3-10 in Vernon, Texas.
In addition, Guillemot spent the week helping the women organize their study materials and coaching them on how to prepare for their oral exams. At the end of the event, two participants successfully completed their Private Pilot's oral exam and check ride.
"Being a part of GIFT was an extremely rewarding experience. After spending a week working with the women, you couldn't help but become personally invested in their success," said Guillemot. "The week also reinforced that this tool is very much needed in the flight training environment."
The Private, Instrument and Commercial APO is available for $49.95 at Aircraft Spruce and Aviation Universe. It can also be ordered at ThePracticalAviator.com.

Ariana Grande Accused of Cheating by Ex Jai Brooks
Ariana Grande's ex-boyfriend Jai Brooks has accused her of cheating on him with her current love, The Wanted's Nathan Sykes.
The 20-year-old actress/singer's ex took to Twitter where he wrote a long explanation of why their relationship ended.
"Yes I was cheated on," he wrote. "Yes it does suck. Yes I was left for another man…Nathan may be a top bloke or a sweet person, but what he did was just completely wrong. He interfered with my life and did not respect my relationship, his actions caused me to not be able to sleep at night and not see the world as a beautiful place. Nathan if you read this, when you hold her hand you better hold it tight because you are holding my world."
Ariana responded, "Woke up this morning in complete and utter shock… I guess I shouldn't be so surprised. You said to me if I didn't come back to you, you'd make me look bad to the entire world… I'm no longer afraid of you or your lies anymore. I'm going to be the lady my mother raised and carry myself with class and dignity… But I will never be any man's press opportunity. Girls… RESPECT YOURSELVES. Keep your head held high and speak only kind words. Know your truth… no one can ever take that away from you. It's always ok to defend yourself. My fans know what kind of person I am. Never let any man discredit u or the values you were raised with. I'm finally happy. Words can't hurt me anymore."
The former couple split in February after dating for less than a year, but were reportedly back together after they were spotted holding hands in July. By September, she confirmed that she was dating Nathan.
Click inside to read Jai's complete statement…
"Yes I was cheated on. Yes it does suck. Yes I was left for another man. And this happens everyday to so many people of every age, gender, race. I happen to be one of those people and I'm in a situation where I am constantly reminded of it every day. Like anyone who has been cheated on, it has been tough for me but I'm finally ready to move on. Once you are cheated on you should never go back and I did because I wasn't ready to give up on love and something that was everything to me. I wasn't ready to give up on something that was causing me to smile and be happy day in and day out. That's what relationships do, they make you the happiest person in the world and all of a sudden a miserable wreck. That is why if you know someone who is in a relationship, I'm begging you to please not interfere with that, because you are going to destroy someone and crush their world. Nathan may be a top bloke or a sweet person, but what he did was just completely wrong. He interfered with my life and did not respect my relationship, his actions caused me to not be able to sleep at night and not see the world as a beautiful place. Nathan if you read this, when you hold her hand you better hold it tight because you are holding my world. I do wish you two happiness and a good life and hope everything works out. Through all of this I have been able to mature as a person and grow up and have learnt a lot about myself. I have learnt how to find happiness on my own without relying on anyone else. I'm not going to go into the full story of what happened because it isn't anyone else's business and I'm just not ready to. Today was supposed to be our one year anniversary but instead I'm writing this. Do you know how shit this makes me feel? How crushed it makes me feel? But I'm doing this to protect myself from the endless hate I am getting and for those who have lost respect for me when I haven't done anything wrong. I'm seeing this post as moving on, ending peoples continuous questions to me which keeps reminding me about what happened. I hope you can read this and it is enough for your questions to stop because I really can't keep being reminded of it every single day of my life and it is not healthy. It's better to end everyone's questions now than to keep it going for the rest of my life which will slowly destroy me and not allow me to move on. I'm starting to get back on my feet and smile again. Yes I do miss her and still love her but I need to start thinking of myself and do what is best for me. You may or may not believe me, that is up to you and I'm not going to force you to, but just know I would never make up a lie about something like this, it's far too serious. She may not respond to this post, may ignore it, may deny it or may own up to it, she is going to do what's best for her and do what she thinks is right, which is what I'm doing, doing what I think is the best for me- I hope you can respect that. Please stop the endless questions to me and move on with me and let's put everything behind us. Thank you to those who have been supporting me, helping me smile and being there for me through a day to day basis. Like I said this post does make me feel like shit but I feel it's the best thing for me, I'm looking out for myself. Thank you everyone. Here is to a great life"

chapter one: The beginning
Prologue/ Chapter 1
Third person POV
A woman sat in a forest looking at her twelve new children, a confused expression on her face, these are not primordials she thought but then again, Chaos said that everything has already been created so there is no need for more personifications she could feel their essences, they were immortal but they didn't quite have the power of a primordial
figure entered the forest and walked towards the woman
"So these are our children"
" Yes but they are… different"
The male figure raised his eyebrows questionably " different? How so?"
" Well… they are not personifications, it is strange but I can feel their powers" she said, then she pointed at one of them " for example this one has the same type of energy as our brother, Chronos but to a lesser extent"
The male figure looked at his children for a while before speaking "well what should we call them"
" What do you mean?" the woman said confused
" Well as you said, they are not personifications of anything so what should we call this new race of immortals?"
The woman sat there for a bit thinking, what should she call this new breed? She came up with several names but none quite fit these new beings, suddenly a voice spoke in her head that was not quite her own Titans, I want this new breed of immortals to be called Titans, now go my daughter you must show them to the rest of your siblings the woman's eyes widened mother? We haven't heard from you for six millennia! Where have you been? She waited for Chaos to respond I have had to take care of threats approaching you and your siblings, you will most likely not see me again for a very long time, now go my daughter do as I have asked then her mothers presence left, leaving a dumbfounded woman to think of what she had said
"Titans they will be called Titans" the man raised an eyebrow wordlessly asking the woman why she had chosen the name " Chaos" she said simply
The mans expression changed to one of surprise " what else did she say?"
"She said that we should show them to our siblings" the man nodded
"Yes we should, I will summon our brothers and sisters you get the children to the council room"
The woman nodded and they both flashed away leaving no trace that they were there.
Unknown to the a figure had been observing from the shadows seconds after the two figures had left the man conjured a hole in the ground and jumped in
Tartarus sat in his throne pondering what he should do, he was not a stupid deity, he knew that the creation of these new immortals could change everything.
Tartarus just like Iapetus and Hades would be after him was an outcast amongst his brethren, he was hated and scorned even though he was one of the oldest of them all, he knew that with these new immortals his siblings might try to take away his kingdom, needless to say he was in a bad situation
The old primordial sat and thought of ways to solve his problem, he couldn't destroy them as they were immortal and if he trapped them most of his sibling would fight against him.
suddenly amongst all of his dark and desperate thoughts a solution came to him.
He quickly jumped of his throne and went to gather the waters of the five different rivers that ran through his kingdom, after that he mixed them and waited, nothing happened he sat their for hours until he got desperete and did something that he had been told never to do, he prayed to his father
" Order please help me do my purpose and I shall be indebted to you, I swear in Chaos's name that I will do you one favor if you help me here and now"
He then waited for something to happen but the mixed waters of his lands stayed exactly the same, he had lost all hope when suddenly a blinding white light began to glow out of the mixture of the waters, it was so bright that even he, Tartarus had to close his eyes, after the light's intensity diminished Tartarus opened his eyes and grinned at what he saw, two children lay asleep in front of him, they radiated the same kind of power that the children of Gaea had but stronger, much stronger
"Rise Perseus and Typhoon children of the pit" Tartarus said soon those fools will pay for shunning me
A few thousand light years away floating in space there was a body, it was the body of a being dressed in pure white, he seemed to be dead with a black sword gruesomely embedded into his stomach, slowly the mans left had reached out and viciously ripped out the sword from his body, instantly the wound closed, the man smiled and opened his eyes, they were pure white and shown with cold intelligence and had a sadistic gleam in them"Interesting" the man, said his voice echoing in the endless space slowly but surely drifting back to where he heard the prayer of his son "very interesting

Global supplier of Dye Solar Cell (DSC) materials, technology and know-how, Dyesol Limited has upgraded from the Over-the-Counter (OTC) pink marketplace in the USA to the top tier of the OTC market, the OTCQX.
This move is in response to increased US investor enquiries and as part of a determined bid to diversify its shareholder base and increase liquidity. The move also significantly increases information transparency to US investors by providing a full record of all company announcements, financial reports and shareholder notifications from the preceding 24 months.
The OTCQX marketplace is exclusively for companies that meet the highest financial standards and undergo a qualitative review.
The Bank of New York Mellon is Dyesol's Principal American Liaison and the company launched its Level 1 American Depositary Receipt (ADR) program in early 2011 at a ratio of 1 ADR to 20 Australian shares.
According to Dyesol Chairman Richard Caldwell, increased investor interest in the United States is being driven by Dyesol's American subsidiary, Dyesol Inc., a joint venture with Pilkington North America called DyeTec Solar, and by the mandate to incorporate 'sustainability' and 'green investment' options into a growing number of investment portfolios.
Mr Caldwell adds that Dyesol is at the cutting edge in the photovoltaic industry with its DSC photovoltaic technology, enabling metal, glass and polymeric based products in the building, transport and electronics sectors to generate energy and improve energy efficiency.
Joint-Founder and Company Director, Sylvia Tulloch explains that DSC has the ability to turn buildings and vehicles into efficient, aesthetic and inexpensive power generators, adding that Dyesol and its JV partners across the world are on track to offer DSC as a large-scale commercial product within the next few years.
US-based retail-oriented broking houses and institutions with obligations to invest only in US traded stocks will be able to add 'green investment' to their portfolios with Dyesol equity.
The establishment of Dyesol's ADR program, now successful trading on the OTCQX creates a broader secondary market for Dyesol's securities and enables US investors to trade in the Company's securities without the concern of cross-currency transactions.
