Comments on the State of the BlogosphereBy
I would like to thank Gayla for pointing me to this recap on the state of the blogosphere and I'd like to thank Dave Sifry and his team at Technorati for providing us with this great information!
Some highlights from the Technorati Weblog:
- They are currently tracking more than 57 million blogs and counting.
- As of October 2006, about 100,000 new weblogs were created each day.
- As of September 30, 2006 there were on average 1.3 million postings per day.
- There is a strong correlation between the aging and post frequency of blogs and their authority and Technorati ranking.
- Blogs continue to rise in credibility and importance in the media with 12 blogs in the top 100 media outlets.
As the blogosphere continues to mature, I think we are going to see even more blogs playing an even stronger role in the media, whether it be mainstream new publications or business and trade journals. For companies who have not gotten on the blog bandwagon, now is a good time to seriously look into it.
I also think that some one can make a mint if they can figure out how to create an effective too for combatting spam, splogs, spings and other urchins of the web!
The entire report is well worth the read, especially if you are a stats junkie like me!
4 Comments
I think blogging is the best way to reach customers. There are so many options for syndication, it seems to have almost limitless potential!
Oh, and don't forget to vote today!
Those are impressive stats. I had no clue about the number of blogs already existing. And 100.000 created each day? That's amazing.
Thanks for sharing this info.
100,000 a day? WOW

Almost every person is desirous of enjoying their life
Almost every person is desirous of enjoying their life in different ways and that's a good and natural attitude being the most complicated living being on this planet earth. At a time, one way can be utilized for this purpose. Sexual intercourse is one of the best and most need a human activity that is being put into action since this world has come into being. Even animals whose mental understanding is not that intelligent compared to humans also love to be a part of this activity. Usually, two opposite genders are involved in this joyful activity; male and female, though in some cases the same genders also get into the act but that's less joyful compared to a male and a female. The nature of the sexual pleasure is almost the same but the sexual organs' exchange varies from each other.
Come what may, when a male and a female get together sexually, they get so much lustful joy that they can't feel what's happening around them or they can feel nothing else. Coming to the point, it is not crucial for a female that she must have strong vaginal hole as she is just receiver of the semen but for a male person, it is inevitable to have a hard penile erection to give joy to the female organ with his male organ so-called penis, but it is only possible when the production of testosterone, which is a male hormone needed to maintain sexual drive in males, is up to the mark. In such a situation, the need arises to adopt a safe way such as safe medicine intake such as anabolic rx24. A long research and practices show that anabolic rx24 increases the level of testosterone in quite a natural way so that you don't have to undergo horrible side effects as you have to face the ones caused by conventional drugs.

We have lived in Palo Alto for 30 years and enjoy all the available cultural events, sports, museums, Stanford lectures, campus events, fabulous restaurants and a beautiful downtown area just three blocks away. We have cathedral ceilings throughout which provides lots of beautiful sun light.
Peaceful yet active community! Home of Google, Apple, Facebook and many other amazing companies. With Stanford University within easy walking distance we have access to all this top college has to offer.
Our family of 2 adults and 2 children had a wonderful stay in this gracious, beautifully furnished, immaculate and comfortable apartment/home.

We had a wonderful trip to Palo Alto staying at this rental. The location is easily walkable to all restaurants, Stanford Campus, and basically everything we wanted to do in town. Amenities were very comfortable. Will absolutely stay here again when we are back in town.
Roger and Marsha were very accommodating hosts. Their home was quite comfortable and ideally located for enjoying Palo Alto.
We loved having two King-bedded suites, each with its own private bath. Beautifully furnished, ample kitchen supplies. We had a wonderful time here with another couple. Would recommend!
Es la cuarta vez que llegamos a esta propiedad y nuestras estadías han sido como llegar a nuestra casa.
Es un sitio acogedor, con todo lo que necesitamos.

The unit was very clean and comfortable for both sleeping and relaxing at breakfast in the living/dining area. The unit is also very quiet so there were no issues getting a good night's sleep. Other than eating breakfast, we were out and about for the rest of our stay. It was very spacious for the 4 adults--two couples-- and the unit is located in a quiet neighborhood very near "downtown" Palo Alto. A Whole Foods and Peet's coffee are just 2-3 short blocks from the apartment.
Roger went over all the details with us and met us at the appointed time for check in. My wife and I thought everything went smoothly. We also had the use of 2 underground parking spots--although we only needed one.
All 4 of us gave the unit 2 thumbs up.
We would definately look to rent this unit again the next time we head back to Palo Alto.

Sydney, Nov 17: Small gestures of love and affection can bring in big changes in people's life sometimes. Something similar happened to the cancer-stricken cartoonist Ramesh Chandra.
Ramesh, who had been waiting for this day since years, finally met Narendra Modi at Sydney's Allphones Arena after the India Today Group highlighted the ailing man's wish to interact with the Prime Minister.
Arrangements were made by Modi's office after the managing editor of TV Today Network tweeted Ramesh's desire to meet Modi. The ailing man said that there was no one to take him to Sydney Olympic Park, the venue where Modi was to address the gathering.
[Read: PM Narendra Modi makes investment pitch at Brisbane breakfast meet]
After having come across the tweet, Modi asked his officials to ensure that Ramesh could reach the venue for the event. He personally spoke to the organisers and made arrangements for Ramesh to visit Olympic Park.
Saw your Tweet @rahulkanwal. Have personally spoken to the organisers so that Ramesh ji can bless the programme in Sydney. — Narendra Modi (@narendramodi) November 14, 2014
Upon hearing Modi's decision, Ramesh said he couldn't believe his ears when he heard about the gesture by Modi. He said, "Zindagi safal ho gayi."
"I have come here to meet Prime Minister Modi. I am very happy. For the past 67 years, there is no development in India, but now, such a man has come to power who knows everything, is disciplined and such nice man can''t be found anywhere else. You are really fortunate to have such a man to lead the country," Ramesh said.
"If I want to meet Prime Minister Modi, I don''t care about my health, as it''s a big thing that I am getting this opportunity in my life. Wherever he calls me I will go there, and I will wait here till he arrives," he added.
There was no one to take Ramesh Chandra to Sydney Olympic Park
"I want to do something for him, I am very happy; I am a cancer patient, and will not survive much. But, still I am so ecstatic about meeting Prime Minister Modi," he said.
He also showed the cartoons that he has sketched for the Prime Minister since the Modi decided to contest the Lok Sabha elections.
Ramesh has compiled a special series of his cartoons to mark Modi's visit to Australia.
Over 20,000 people gathered at Allphones Arena at Olympic Park in Sydney to welcome the Prime Minister.

First cruise, no blues
Sail Date: February 14, 2016
Reviewed: 1 year ago
Traveled As: Singles/Friends
Room Type: Oceanview
This was my first cruise, and minus a little booking hiccup, it went just as planned. The ship was very clean, the staff was very warm and inviting, and very entertaining! The food in the non-cover charge restaurants was always great, and there was a wide variety of choices and always a spread. I had no issues with getting on and off the boat as planned. Met some new people and had a blast exploring new places. I will probably sail with them again to some new destinations

Brad Keselowski Opens the Chase with a Win
Brad Keselowski celebrates a win at Chicagoland Speedway
Photo - Jared C. Tilton/Getty Images
Beating Jimmie Johnson was a hard task the whole day but after the last pit stop, Keselowski figured out how to pass Johnson.
Johnson dominated the race for most of the day and Keselowski was the only driver who could keep up. Keselowski had a great final pit stop and made the race winning move by passing Johnson with about thirty laps to go. After Keselowski's final pit stop he said his car "just took off."

London, September 19 (ANI): Deipnosophists, stridewallops and shot-clogs - wondering what these words mean? Well, these are some of the lost words in English language assembled by Adam Jacot de Boinod.
Shot clog is an Elizabethan word for a drinking companion who is only tolerated because he pays, while stridewallop is a Yorkshire term for a tall and awkward woman.
Deipnosophist is a Jacobean word for a skillful dinner conversationalist.
All these quirky words had been lost over a period of time, the Telegraph reports.
However, Boinod has included them in his new book 'The Wonder of Whiffling'.
He writes in the introduction of the book: "As a self-confessed bowerbird (one who collects an astonishing array of sometimes useless objects), I've greatly enjoyed putting together this collection.
"I sincerely hope that you enjoy reading it, and that it saves you both from mulligrubs, depression of spirits, and onomatomania, vexation in having difficulty finding the right word."
Some other extraordinary words include crambazzled, which is used to refer to someone who is prematurely aged through drink and a dissolute life.
Word from overseas like 'twack' have also been incorporated.
Apparently, twacks are shoppers who look at goods, inquire about the prices but never buy anything. (ANI)

Pen Name:
Articles, Biography, Essays, Historical Fiction, Memoir, Other Nonfiction: Project Management
Social Media:
Patricia Walkow's biographical novel, The War Within, The Story of Josef, was published in June, 2016. It is the inspiring story of a Polish teenager captured in Poland in 1939 and forced to spend World War II as a slave laborer in Nazi Germany. The story follows the teenager through his late twenties.
Pat has written two newspaper columns in the past. One was titled "Ask Teacher" in the Bethlehem Globe Times (Pennsylvania), and the other was titled "Dog's Day Out" in the Glendale News Press (California). Some of the "Dog's Day Out" columns were printed in localized Sunday editions of the Los Angeles Times. In addition, she co-authored a project management book, Where People and Projects Meet, and has written articles for Albuquerque, the Magazine, Corrales Comment, Corrales MainStreet News, as well as articles for a major corporation.
She was editor of Corrales MainStreet News for three years, co-editor of Corrales Writing Group 2013 Anthology, and editor of Currents: The Corrales Writing Group 2015 Anthology. She also has short stories in these anthologies and will have a new set of short stories published in Passages, the Corrales Writing Group's 2016 anthology.
Title: The War Within, The Story of Josef
Publisher: Patricia Walkow/2016
Genre: Historical Fiction
The War Within, the Story of Josef is a biographical novel of Josef, a teenage Christian Polish slave laborer forced to work in Nazi Germany during World War II.
At the outset of the story, Josef awakens after his left leg is amputated due to an accident in the factory where he worked in Southern Germany. A talented mechanic, even at his young age, Josef has a natural ability to understand, repair and fabricate machinery. Because of his usefulness, his life is spared, although slave laborers are normally considered expendable, and when injured are summarily executed. German citizens are prohibited from helping slave laborers. Yet, Willie, a German ambulance driver only a few years older than Josef, saves Josef's life by taking him to the hospital and allowing him to recuperate in his own home.
This story offers a window into the ways some Germans broke the rules to help their declared enemies. It offers the reader a view into the lives of ordinary people through the last two years of World War II, Allied occupation, near-starvation, and the agonizing decision to leave Europe and settle in a new land.

Disaster Recovery with Amazon Web Services
Recover in the cloud or to your own facilities — the choice is yours, with Commvault protecting your Amazon Web Services environment.
With a single software solution, Commvault makes it easy for you to manage your Amazon Web Services (AWS) backups, while adding workload portability across your physical, virtual and cloud infrastructures. Our standing as an AWS Partner, Network Advanced Technology Partner and Storage Competency Partner gives us deep insight and tight integration — so we can deliver simplified, automated recovery and migration across all AWS storage and compute platforms, with lower operational costs and reduced complexity.
"Leveraging the AWS integration with Commvault allowed us to replace our traditional tape and third-party storage processes for our DR backup requirements. Our new method of backing up directly to AWS is much quicker and vastly more scalable. Copies of all of our backups are streamed to AWS as soon as the last full completes. This gives our organisation more robust recovery options from our offsite copies."
Justin Mason, Systems Manager, Information and Technology Management, University of Canberra
Faster, easier disaster recovery
Disaster recovery is about more than offsite storage. Often, it means costly test facilities, dedicated infrastructure that largely sits idle, and manual processes that can take technical staff out of the office for days. Commvault integration with Amazon S3, S3-IA, Glacier and Snowball lets you automatically tier and move backups and archives into highly available, scalable and low-cost AWS cloud storage. In the event of a disaster, you can recover quickly and efficiently directly into the AWS cloud to keep data available and apps up and running. Our software helps you simplify and streamline disaster recovery with automated, policy-based data management that lets you combine cloud and on-premises infrastructure any way you see fit — with pre-built workflows tying everything together into a fully orchestrated recovery scenario.
Lean, efficient use of AWS cloud resources
Commvault's built-in deduplication shrinks the footprint of your backups before sending them to the AWS cloud, reducing storage consumption and data administration. Our broader cloud management capabilities — including deep integration with AWS EC2 for simplified provisioning and management of EC2 instances — make it easy to implement an overall cloud strategy.
Reduce your disaster recovery costs
Retaining data in the cloud gives you the freedom to augment or even replace your tape infrastructure for more durable and cost-effective offsite data storage. In one case, a Commvault customer that had been sending on-premises data to dedicated offsite storage — at an annual cost of nearly $1 million — was able to cut storage costs by 80% in a single year and eventually reduce its annual spend to 10% of the earlier level. Now that company runs disaster recovery tests every quarter and can run an audit on demand without straining in-house IT resources.
Learn More
Here are selections from our resource library, which includes a wide range of videos, customer case studies, datasheets, whitepapers and more to further explain how Commvault can help you make your data work for you.

|Reviews for Gone A Hunting
| SmallSith chapter 2 . 1/1/2012
Hm, interesting. When do we get to see what she looks like? She's an interesting character, I think I'll keep an eye on this. It has potential for awesomeness. A few little mistakes (typos, really) here and there, I don't think there were more than one or two. A couple sentences were a little awkward (such as "Hello there pretty little lady, you look like you're looking for something, right?")
But it's good. Believable, interesting plot. Looks like you have the making of an interesting story here.

"How would you like to star opposite the tallest, darkest leading man in Hollywood?" Enticed by these words, brunette leading lady Fay Wray dyed her hair blonde and accepted the role of Ann Darrow in King Kong -- and stayed with the project even after learning that her "leading man" was a 50-foot ape. The film introduces us to flamboyant, foolhardy documentary filmmaker Carl Denham (Robert Armstrong), who sails off to parts unknown to film his latest epic with leading lady Darrow in tow. Disembarking at Skull Island, they stumble on a ceremony in which the native dancers circle around a terrified-looking young girl, chanting, "Kong! Kong!" The chief (Noble Johnson) and witch doctor (Steve Clemente) spot Denham and company and order them to leave. But upon seeing Ann, the chief offers to buy the "golden woman" to serve as the "bride of Kong." Denham refuses, and he and the others beat a hasty retreat to their ship. Late that night, a party of native warriors sneak on board the ship and kidnap Ann. They strap her to a huge sacrificial altar just outside the gate, then summon Kong, who winds up saving Ann instead of devouring her. Kong is eventually taken back to New York, where he breaks loose on the night of his Broadway premiere, thinking that his beloved Ann is being hurt by the reporters' flash bulbs. Now at large in New York, Kong searches high and low for Ann (in another long-censored scene, he plucks a woman from her high-rise apartment, then drops her to her death when he realizes she isn't the girl he's looking for). After proving his devotion by wrecking an elevated train, Kong winds up at the top of the Empire State Building, facing off against a fleet of World War I fighter planes.

This movie is truly THE ULTIMATE Classic! the effects are the best! and the actors are great. I admit it does get boring at the begining,But the movie gets even better when Kong takes up the screen. I personally think that King Kong is the Best thing about the movie. If you love gorillas, dinosaurs,action and adventure(not to mention romance!)then BUY IT!
What can I say other than this is a timeless classic. It is ahead of it's time "thanks to Willis O'Brien and Marcel Digado", and it has great actors "Fay Wray: The Queen of Scream, Bruce Cabot, Robert Armstrong",great music "Max Steiner", and two great men behind it "Merian C. Cooper, Ernest B. Schoedsack". It is a great story of Beauty and the Beast, and of the dark side of civilization. This is a great film. Kong is King!
73 years after it first premiered, "King Kong" is still a blast to watch, a marvel of economy and narrative action. In terms of innovation, influence, and overall contribution to the genre, "Kong" deserves to be called the greatest monster movie ever made. This Turner DVD version is restored and digitally remastered from a British-distribution copy, and the film has never looked or sounded better. For the Kong aficionado, it's a great holiday gift, jammed with second-disk goodies, including "RKO Production 601: The Making of Kong, The Eighth Wonder of the World", and "Creation" test footage with commentary by Ray Harryhausen, Dynarama inventor and protégé of Willis O'Brien, Kong's creator. It's all good, but best of all is "Kong" 2005 remake director Peter Jackson's stop-motion re-creation of the Lost Spider Pit Sequence, a scene reportedly cut from the original film by producer Merian C. Cooper before release. A 1933 screening audience could not get over the horror of huge spiders and insectoids devouring hapless sailors who survived the fall after being shaken off that huge log by Kong. Cooper later wrote that the scene "stopped" the progress of the film, and he may have burned the spider pit sequence himself to insure it could never be used. Whatever happened to it, this discarded sequence has remained an enduring mystery and is probably the most famous "un-scene" in the history of monster cinema. Jackson is a hard-core Kong fan, and in fact owns some of the stop-motion armatures and puppets used in the original film. While in production of this year's remake, he turned his Weta special effects crew loose on redoing the Spider Pit scene, using what few clues and script hints were available, in authentic stop-motion action. The result is a fascinating and seamless, if not quite horrifying, labor of love that is worth the price of the DVD by itself.
The title is:unique, a propos,and unforgettable. The technical achievements... a marvel,even for today. And most of all..the beauteous Fay Wray , the most superlative casting event of all time. Even the musical score befits this colossal film.
This is one of the great movies classics that is a must have for every fan of the genre. For the time, the story, settings and the special effects makes this film a masterpeice of the American cinema. Although the effects are a bit outdated today, the film still holds up and the scene where the giant ape ascends the Empire State Building is one of the great images that will be burned into my mind forever. Packed with action, King Kong is one of the greatest films ever to be made.
By far the greatest movie of all time.The story,the cast,the setting...and the creature...not the computer generated,acceptable image,but a 'real'prehistoric ape.The movements,and the 'over the top' temper tantrums.This is the real thing...the way you would find this on an unknown island...the only movie to get seven stars in my book*******
This is the classic film that stars beautiful Fay Wray as Ann Darrow (the beauty) that's kidnapped by King Kong (the beast). Film is famous for the now legendary Empire State building scene. This is a great action/adventure film that also stars Robert Armstrong and Bruce Cabot. The effects may seem dated, but by 1933 standards they were very cutting-edge and innovative. Be sure to see this film!

In recent years scientists have gained the ability to identify where memories are registered in the brains of lab animals. They can manipulate those memories, erase them or even implant new ones. It may now be not too far-fetched an idea to ponder: Could we use such methods in humans, for example, to treat those suffering from PTSD? And if so, should we?
This is one of the questions explored tonight on "Breakthrough: Decoding the Brain," which airs at 9 p.m. ET/8 p.m. CT on National Geographic Channel. Director Brett Ratner and narrator Adrien Brody meet with scientists who are using innovative technologies to develop new treatments for neurological disorders. New tools to explore the brain have also helped scientists begin to unravel profound mysteries such as how memories are made and how the brain gives rise to consciousness.
"Decoding the Brain" is part of "Breakthrough," a series developed by GE and National Geographic Channel. Each episode explores scientific discoveries in brain sciences, longevity, water, energy, pandemics and cyborg technology.
Making and breaking memories
Changing or erasing memories is an old idea. But only in recent years have scientists become able to actually do it, thanks to optogenetics, a relatively new method that allows researchers use light to switch neurons on and off.
Steve Ramirez is a memory researcher at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology who uses optogenetics to study the formation of memories as well as the possibilities for manipulating them. He and his colleagues have been able to erase memories or implant false memories in mice. He hopes this work could help develop new treatments for people suffering from PTSD.
So far, optogenetics has been used only in animals. But if it ever gets translated for use in humans, would it be ethical to use? The toll that a disorder like PTSD takes on a person's quality of life makes memory manipulation an appealing treatment as a last resort.
But being able to directly manipulate memories may have implications beyond just erasing the traumatic ones. What if during the worst moments of your life, you could push a button and watch some memories of happier times? Researchers have shown this could potentially lessen the damage that stressful situations could impose on the brain. In a study published earlier this year in Nature, Ramirez and his colleagues were able to keep track of happy memories as they were being registered in the brain of male mice during flirtation with female mice. Later, they rekindled the memories by activating the neurons holding those memories. The team showed that evoking positive memories made the animals more resilient when they were put under stress and reduced their depression-like behaviors.
A switch for consciousness?
Neurologist Mohamad Koubeissi is the Director of the Epilepsy Center at George Washington University in Washington, DC. His research aims to reduce the occurrence of seizures in people with epilepsy who don't respond to medications. To do this, Koubeissi implants electrodes deep in the brains of patients to control the activity of neurons whose abnormal firing leads to seizures.
Aside from the therapeutic potentials, this research also offers a unique chance for studying long-standing research questions by giving scientists direct access to the brain. And sometimes, it results in surprising discoveries. For example, when evaluating a patient, Koubeissi discovered that stimulating a small area of the brain called the claustrum can result in global disruption of consciousness. The patient had an electrode implanted in the claustrum, and was asked to read something from a book. When Koubeissi turned on electrical stimulation, the patient suddenly stopped reading and stared blankly. She later had no memory of what happened during the stimulation. When the stimulation was turned off, she resumed exactly where she had left off. This finding suggests that the claustrum is connected with other brain regions that together give rise to consciousness.
You can watch Koubeissi and his patient in this video of the first 5 minutes of tonight's episode:

Very enjoyable cruize!
Sail Date: November 26, 2011
Reviewed: 5 years ago
Traveled As: Couple
Room Type: Suite
The staff was very friendly and helpful. The food was a pleasant surprise! Id been on numerous Carnival cruises in the past and the food was mediocre, but the food this time was a lot better. They offered better grades of steak and seafood including lobster. If you didnt want to go to the dining room they had a mirror image of the same entrees in the buffet area.
I would recommend and do this cruise again!
Pros: The friendliness of the staff
Cons: Not anything. It was a great value for the money spent.

This sweet, sweet, sweet….did I say sweet?? baby girl is my best friends daughter. I have had the extreme privilege to be photographing my best friend for quite some time now. There's nothing quite like a friend that believes in you right from the start. And she always, always has. I've done engagement, maternity, newborn and now 6 month photos with this family. And every time I see them, I come away saying that these are some of my favorite photos ever. And how could they not be? This family is as beautiful on the outside as they are on the inside. But this session, this was really, really special. And here's why.
I got in the car at 6am to get to their house early. It was supposed to rain this day. Im driving and the sky is turning black…I mean BLACK. (Just an FYI, Light is pretty much the #1 most important thing when trying to take photos…). I get to the house, baby girl decided to wake up early this day. LOL. Uh-oh… We start, Im literally pulling out my flash because the light is just, well, not good… Baby girl is.not.having.it. She's not a happy camper. Right about now, Im panicking and silently crying inside…LOL. Okay, time for a break. Let's just stop. We do. Mama decides to get a bottle ready for little Miss. She sits on the couch with her and ladies and gentlemen….I kid you not, the skies started to part and glorious sunshine started to flow into the window. But just on the couch….LOL. Well everyone, here is a life lesson for you: just go with it. We really don't have control of most situations, you just work with what you are given. If the light is on the couch, the couch is where we shall stay. And we did. And it was MAGICAL. Turns out, the bottle is just what little Miss needed (well, that and Mama) to be a happy girl. And so, in the 30 minutes that we had, this is what we got. A happy, beautiful baby girl, in beautiful light. There are so many I love, so be prepared for an over share friends.
Thanks for stopping by!

The EU is Switzerland's most important partner by far. This is due not only to the European Union's (EU) political and economic weight, but also to Switzerland's close geographical and cultural proximity to the countries of the EU. Switzerland earns one franc out of three in its exchanges with the EU. Some 60% of Swiss exports go to the EU, and 80% of its imports come from there. Switzerland is not an EU Member State. Instead, it conducts its relations with the EU on the basis of bilateral sector agreements, which have been approved by the people of Switzerland through a series of referendums. More than 120 agreements, including 20 very important treaties, govern specific aspects of our relations with the EU. These agreements provide both parties with extensive market access and form the basis for close cooperation in other fields. The Federal Council considers the bilateral way the most suitable for Switzerland at this point in time.
Directorate of European Affairs DEA
Directorate of European Affairs DEA
The Directorate of European Affairs (DEA) is the competence centre within the federal administration for dealing with issues concerning Switzerland's policy on the EU. The DEA analyses the European integration process and its consequences for Switzerland. It coordinates the federal government's policy on the EU and provides information about Switzerland's policy on Europe, as well as European integration in general.

Reports say that the collapse was triggered by four states withdrawing power from the northern grid at the same time. This led to a transmission failure at Agra.
Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, Chandigarh, Haryana, Delhi, Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, West Bengal, Bihar, Jharkhand, Odisha, Sikkim, Chhattisgarh, Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, Mizoram, Manipur, Meghalaya and Tripura were consequently affected by the world's biggest-ever blackout.
Nearly 500 trains stopped running all of a sudden. Vehicular movement was also affected. Traffic came to a grinding halt in many cities across north and east India.
Seeing how grave the situation was, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee even declared a holiday in her state to enable professionals and workers to reach their homes as soon as possible.
Due to the grid failure, hundreds of miners were trapped underground in Asansol and Sodedur. The mines are operated by the Eastern Coalfields Ltd.
Meanwhile, thousands of patients in hospitals suffered because doctors could not perform urgent surgeries in the absence of electricity.

Fortunately Thomas has always had a knack for storytelling, and in the past four years he has continued to grow his business as a success ghost writer and editor. He's now able to shake the bad local economy and remain self-employed, being his own boss and setting his own hours. Through Elance he's also able to meet and work with clients all over the world, another dream-come-true for Thomas.

Will fillers help my nose or do I need a 1st class ticket to Hollywood? (Photo)
2005: septum correction for breathing. 2008: correction with cartilage from rib and placed in my nasal walls ( _ ) to create a breath right type situation. My left side is hard/right is soft and more natural to MY nose. I'm not in a position to simply finance a corrective rhinoplasty as they are expensive so I'm curious if fillers would help me temporarily and in the long run if continued? Would they cause damage to the tissue if I would want to take on a future corrective surgery. Thanks in advance!

Kolkata: Displaying oodles of confidence ahead of the coming home duel against New Zealand, Indian cricket skipper Sourav Ganguly emphatically said that his side would be the favourites for the series. ''Yes, definitely,'' Ganguly said in reply to a query from sports commentator Harsh Bhogle at the shoot of the second episode of the ESPN 'Cricket Show'. ''If we don't win the series, I would think that we have seriously done ourselves something wrong. We will play at our best and try to win comprehensively,'' the Indian skipper said during the chat show shoot at a Durga puja pandala at a stone's throw from his house.
On the composition of the Indian team, Ganguly said that he was in favour of playing five bowlers, including two fast bowlers, two spinners and an all- rounder along with a keeper who can bat. "I've always been a guy who wants to have five bowlers in the side. A keeper who can bat and an all-rounder can give me the liberty to play five bowlers. At the end of the day, you need to take 20 wickets to win a Test match,'' Ganguly said in the programme. Ganguly also ruled out playing three spinners. ''If two of your frontline spinners cannot pick wickets, the third can't do much,'' he said according to an ESPN-STAR Sports release. Ganguly said that too much noise has been made about the contrasting pitches in India and New Zealand.
''In New Zealand (last year), the pitches were difficult and although we lost the series we did much better than the results show. We were in a good position in Hamilton, we batted and bowled well. So, I think we are making a big issue of the pitches,'' the Indian skipper said. Turning to the Indian wickets, he said that in Indian conditions, the pitches were always expected to turn. ''New Zealand knows and the whole world knows that it is going to turn. I feel it should be good wickets and should not spoil the game at the end of the day.''
''People come to watch the game and all of us need to perform. So, it should be a good cricketing wicket, and as usual in India, it will start turning from the third day onwards,'' he added. Ganguly, however, said that the Indian batsmen needed to play New Zealand seamer Darryl Tuffy well as he was a tough competitor. ''But he is not going to get that sort of wickets (as in New Zealand) anywhere in the world,'' he said. Former England legend Geoff Boycott and ex-Indian star Ravi Shastri also participated in the programme. PTI

Mukherjee maintained that India's economic fundamentals were strong and capable of meeting any challenge posed by the downgrade of the US economy and the crisis in some eurozone nations.
"I would like to emphasis that some of the investment banks have upgraded India to market weight, that means the basic fundamentals are strong and macroeconomy recovery is moving toward a positive direction," he told reporters, referring to Monday's Goldman Sachs report.
The minister said the US downgrade has created some problems for India, but the country could handle any situation arising out of international developments.
"The challenge is there, but we have the capabilities of facing these challenges," Mukherjee said. "... Collectively, with the efforts of all concerned, particularly with the cooperation of the RBI, we will be able to face the challenges," he added.
Expressing happiness over the quick recovery shown by the Indian stock market, which was much better than other Asian countries, he said, however, it was too early to say how the markets would behave in future.
The downgrade of the US economy by Standard and Poor's last week has created havoc in stock markets worldwide, but led to a decline in commodity prices, including crude oil.
Talking about the decline in crude prices, Mukherjee said he was not fully satisfied with the downward movement from USD 107 per barrel to USD 102 per barrel, as it is still "reasonably high".
Mukherjee hoped that prices of oil and other commodities will come down further, "which will help us to manage inflation and also help in reducing subsidy on oil".
Referring to the movements in the Indian stock market today, Mukherjee said "it has recovered from the loss in the morning... if you compare it with Asian markets... the average going down of various Asian markets are varying from 2-4 per cent."
The BSE benchmark Sensex plunged deep into the red today after suffering an early morning loss of 558 points, but staged a smart recovery to regain the 17,000 points level by early afternoon.

Forcing Mathematica to render by particular system font
I wish to have symbols like \[HappySmiley] in notebooks to be rendered
by particular system font, not by Mathematica's font. But Mathematica
automatically replaces such symbols and renders them by it's own font.
I tried to use PrivateFontOptions option to turn off this behavior but
I have
failed. I have tried the following:
In[1]:= Style["\:263a \:263b",
PrivateFontOptions -> {"OperatorSubstitution" -> False,
"WindowsUseTrueTypeNames" -> False},
FontFamily -> "Lucida Sans Unicode", Large]
Out[1]= \[HappySmiley] \:263b
But "\[HappySmiley]" is still rendered by Mathematica's font.
How to force rendering such symbols by system font?

What a wonderful cottage. Perfectly maintained with everything a family needs. Ideally located we made day trips to most parts of Ireland, and it was relaxing to come back to this wonderfully maintained home. No stress from meeting a time to eat or get going, nice pub in town and easy access to all roads. Will stay here again if we can.
When we arrived, it was chilly in the house. We called the caretaker, and even though it turned out that his wife was quite ill he came immediately to be sure things were right in the cottage. He got the heat adjusted and made several recommendations that were helpful. The cottage was well equipped. Our damage deposit was promptly refunded.
We enjoyed our time at the Curaheen cottage in Knocklong. We were able to take day trips to see many castles and abbeys on day trips. We recommend the Glen of Aherlow, Rock of Cashel, Killarney and the adjacent National Park with the Gap of Dunloe tour. Also the local ruins on the hill and the pubs. The caretakers, Bernie and Pat were so helpful, and Mary made the booking process very easy. There were very friendly neighbors, too. Our only issue with the cottage was that you can tell they deal with dampness in the climate and there was a mustiness at times. Thanks for a wonderful holiday!
When we arrived we got a chance to meet the caretakers, Bernie and Pat, they were very kind and welcoming! This cottage is just as nice in person as it is in the pictures. It's located in a cute community with very friendly neighbors. We had 5 people in our group and there was more than enough room for all of us. We enjoyed sitting around the fire in the cozy living room in the evenings and planning our next day's adventure! The heat pads in the beds were a nice touch; although we didn't need to use them it was nice to crawl into a warm, comfortable bed. We did a day trip to the Cliffs of Moher as well as to Cork and Blarney Castle. We also enjoyed an evening meal at Golden Pheonix in Hospital which is just down the road. We had a fabulous stay at this beautiful cottage and would recommend it to anyone!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Irish cottage. I only wish we had a few more nights there. We spent 5 nights staying in different hotels and travelling around Ireland. We had a great time but it was tiring. We spent our last 3 nights at the cottage and really enjoyed having a warm, cozy home to come back to at the end of the day. We relaxed by the fire with a glass of wine or cup of tea and made our plans for the next day. The layout of the house was great and allowed privacy in the bedrooms. The beds were very comfortable and warm. We didn't cook at all except for breakfast. The living room was spacious and homey. Bunratty Castle and Dirty Nelly's are great stops if you are passing through Limerick (just outside Shannon). Adare is a very pretty little town worth seeing. We also arranged clay pigeon shooting through Adare Manor. That was a great activity for a rainy day and the drive really took us off the beaten path. The Ballyhoura mountains have terrific walking/hiking paths and mountain biking. Rock of Cashel and King John's Castle are also nice day trips. There are plenty of things to do nearby. We hope to be able to visit again soon, and will stay a little longer. Thank you to Pat and Bernie, the caretakers who had a fire ready to light when we arrived. It was nice to be able to call them when we had a question about the heat. Thank you!
We stayed a month with up to 6 family members at one time. The home was perfect with everything we needed. They had added another full bath to it. It was always great to come home to after visiting other counties and villages. 30 minutes to Linerick, 2 hours to Dublin, one hour to Cork, Wexford, and Waterford. Killarney was 1 1/2 hours. This cottage is right in the heartland of Ireland. It's a great place to real the real cultural experience. We went to church, family festivals, town banquets in Hospital, and dog shows. Enjoyed by all ages from 4 yrs to 74 yrs old in our group

Xbox One Console- Standard Edition
Viewing Review: Better and more useful than I ever expected
Better and more useful than I ever expected
Combined Rating:
I wasn't going to buy an Xbox One until later this year. So I told myself. There weren't very many titles upon release, I'm one of those pesky 'cord cutters' the cable and satellite companies...
great graphics, HDMI TV-IN, improved Kinect functionality, improved 'multi-tasking'
some little quirks got through, and the lack of backwards compatibility on new-gen consoles is disappointing
I wasn't going to buy an Xbox One until later this year. So I told myself. There weren't very many titles upon release, I'm one of those pesky 'cord cutters' the cable and satellite companies love to hate, so I thought the inclusion of a TV-IN was a gimmick and I'd never get any use out of it. Plus, it was proper expensive. $500 for a console? I was convinced that I wouldn't pull the trigger until maybe Titanfall came out, or maybe not even until Elder Scrolls Online.
And then, I went out the day after Christmas to my local Best Buy, and picked one up.
Out of the box, it's beautiful. It's shiny. It sort of oozes coolness into my living room. I got it all set up, and proceeded to explore what, exactly, I was going to do with this thing in hopes of avoiding what I was sure was going to be buyer's remorse.
I always used my PS3 as my blu-ray player. To be honest, when I got the Xbox One, I didn't even know it played blu-ray's. Yes. I am really THAT stupid.
I saw reviews online where people had plugged other consoles into the HDMI input, so I plugged my PS3 in. And, to my delightful surprise, it worked. A friend who was a day one owner told me he had his 360 plugged into his, which seemed like black magic, or some sort of myth. Could this even WORK?
I plugged my 360 in, and yes. It works. And, it works rather well. So well, in fact, that once I discovered that I could play blu-ray's (don't judge me), I moved my 'good' PS3 to the bedroom, and no longer have a Sony presence in my living room.
I installed all the apps, Hulu Plus, Netflix, Amazon Instant Video, CW. While at first I thought of Kinect voice commands as yet another gimmick, I have found myself using them almost exclusively to navigate between apps, to make selections and control functions within apps, and to turn the console off and on.
And that's when the first 'quirk' reared its ugly head.
My setup consists of a 62" Mitsubishi RPTV (720P) and a Denon 2113 receiver. You can set up the One to turn on your other components, even your TV and receiver. It turns my receiver on when I walk in the room and say "Xbox On", and it tried really, really hard to turn my TV on. BUT...when the receiver comes on, there is a delay as it 'boots up'. When you use a universal remote like a Harmony, you can manually set delays in the component chain to account for this 'bootup' time. The Xbox One, however, only has about 2 settings of delay, neither of which is sufficient to get a signal to my TV.
Even so, I like that I can control my whole system through kinect commands, if I so desire. Provided I manually turn the TV on first when I walk in the room. A minor quirk. #1 on my wishlist for Microsoft: make user selectable delays in the component command chain.
I didn't understand how my 360 could be on, with me logged into Live, while my Xbox One had me logged into Live...until I realized that they are actually separate sets of Live servers, and never the twain shall meet. Yes. Don't judge me. I should have known, or guessed that. You can see people on your friends list on their 360s, doing their little 360 things, and you can send them text messages, friend requests, or what have you. But that's about it. You can't rate users, and oddly, you can't really customize your avatar. Not that avatar customization is THAT important to me, it just seemed strange that all the options and accessories available on the 360 are missing from the One.
I quickly found myself having loads of fun playing games on my 360, through my One, and still having the ability to bounce between apps. The apps are great, by the way. I also discovered the FX channel app, which filled a hole in my TV viewing lineup, so that was a really nice addition. Speaking of which, I like how the CW app lets me pin individual shows to my home page. It's just these little touches that really make me appreciate the work that went into translating these 360 standards into Xbox One editions.
I haven't even begun to discuss the games, have I?
And that's what is so insidious about the Xbox One. It is a game console that does SO many other things....and WELL...that you tend to forget from time to time that it's there to play games.
I bought Need for Speed Rivals, Dead Rising, Call of Duty: Ghosts, and Assassin's Creed IV (which I had previously played on the 360). Without going into a review for each game, let me say that they are all worthy titles, with pro's and con's, and they all look and play fabulously. The only noteworthy game element that I want to discuss is the integration with the Xbox One app on my android smartphone. It's like smart glass on steroids. Not only can I control the One through it, but I was blown away by the app's 'companion feature' for Dead Rising. When my in-game helper would call me or send me messages, they actually arrived on my phone (via the app). I could access the map and do other tasks via the app, and it wasn't just a gimmick. It was actually really neat, and fairly useful. It added to the immersion, and increase the game's "fun factor". I hope other games in the future take advantage of the companion feature in a similar fashion.
It was while I was playing Dead Rising that I discovered annoying quirk #2.
The controller died while I was playing, the game paused, and told me to reconnect. I tried. I failed. My batteries had died, after I don't know how many hours. Not a big deal, I can understand that happening. What I really could NOT understand was...why didn't they include a battery life indicator for the controller, or otherwise WARN you that it's about to fail. Nope. It just dies. No warning. So, #2 on the MS wishlist: controller battery life indicator
I've had my Xbox One for about 6 weeks now, and not once have I regretted my purchase decision. I heard my friends teasing me about paying to be a beta tester, I heard horror stories that accompany every console launch, but I have had no problems or issues at all with my Xbox One. If I am home, it is on. It never falters or fails, and always does what I ask of it. The IE browser seems to work better than the one on the 360, too. Everything, essentially, seems to work better. It is, overall, a genuine improvement over its predecessor, and I fully and completely encourage others to buy one if they think they would have even the LEAST bit interest in one. It will surprise you.
One last relatively funny anecdote. You can add family members to your One, so I added my 9yr old daughter. I have Kinect log-in enabled, so when I turn it on, it knows it's me. I had it set so it would know when she walked in the room and log her in, as well. It seems to get accustomed to seeing you in certain places (I always sit in the same place). My daughter set hers up while sitting on the couch. All was well. Then, one day (after she had gone back to her mother's house), my One said hi to her, as if she had walked in the room. I chalked it up to new console weirdness, logged her out, and thought nothing else of it.
And, then a day or so later, it said hi to her again when she wasn't there. Genuinely a little freaked, and convinced I had bought a lemon, I looked over on the couch and saw my Beagle sitting there staring at me. He had jumped up on the couch and sat down, and the Xbox One had assumed that was my daughter.
By the way, when I told her about it a couple of days later, that my shiny new console mistook a dog for her, she was none too amused.
So, until I become the sort of person that can keep dogs off furniture, her Kinect log-in is disabled. But, it was still pretty funny.
I guess the moral of the story is, I'm pleasantly surprised by how much I get out of this console. I didn't expect it. I expected the worst. I am completely and pleasantly surprised by how much enjoyment I get out of everything it can do, and look forward to the future.
