Manon Von Gerkan
Von Gerkan shows off a standard jet-setting supermodel resume, doing fashion shows for Donna Karan and Moschino, and advertising campaigns for L'Oral and Victoria's Secret. She has been featured in Vogue, Elle and Sports Illustrated as well. Of late, however, it is her relationship with urban magician David Blaine that has garnered the most attention.
AppealThough we generally like our women more full-bodied than Von Gerkan, she'll more than do. Above all, it is her angelic face that blows us away. We can't take our eyes off of her blue-green eyes or sexy lips. Of further note are her shapely legs, perfectly made to stroll the runway, and dangerously shapely curves. If she put on a few pounds, we'd be inseparable.
SuccessThe fashion-savvy everywhere will be impressed with Manon Von Gerkan's list of jobs. After getting noticed by a top scout in her native Hamburg, Germany, she soon moved to the United States to get her career started. Magazines like Elle, Cosmopolitan and Vogue first picked her up, and then her stock rose further when she was added to the lineup of Sport's Illustrated's Swimsuit Issue in 1996.
Advertising campaigns soon followed, with Chanel, Victoria's Secret and L'Oral signing her to deals. Throughout this time, she was a fixture at ready-to-wear fashion shows for Moschino, Barbara Bui and Salvatore Ferragamo. Similar work continues, but now Von Gerkan concentrates on her vintage jewelry store in New York as much as her modeling. She even had a small part in the film Shallow Hal to boot. With her business mind and model body, she doesn't have to worry about her future.
If things do go awry, boyfriend and stunt-pulling magician David Blaine would be sure to bail her out. During his 44-day public fast in London in the fall of 2003, Von Gerkan got a lot of publicity for speaking out against those who taunted him. She even retaliated by throwing an egg back at a mocking individual, and was often seen cleaning the see-through cubicle Blaine lived in.
Manon Von Gerkan BiographyThough she won't reveal the date, Manon Von Gerken was born in 1972 in Hamburg, Germany. Father Meinhard was a well-to-do architect and this allowed for a comfortable upbringing for his daughter. She was able to rise up the social ladder and, by the time basic schooling was completed, Manon was well established. Settling in at a designer store called Pyrate Style, she entered the fashion industry initially as a maker of leather items.
picked out at photo shoot
During a new marketing campaign at Pyrate Style, Von Gerkan was asked to model for one of their catalogues. At the shoot, a top modeling scout from Germany's biggest agency took notice of her. Soon a deal was struck and it didn't take long for Von Gerkan to abandon her ambitions for the glamour of modeling.

Interestingly enough, when she wished to expand her horizons and try her hand at modeling in the United States, she accepted her VISA for entirely different reasons. A lover of motorcycles, Von Gerkan moved to the U.S. in order to get her license as quickly as possible -- laws in Germany were more stringent. Of course, the prospect of modeling in New York must have been promising as well.
cover girl
It didn't take long for Von Gerkan to establish herself. Magazines were the first to really get the word out: she appeared on international covers of Self, Shape, and Elle in 1995-'96. She followed that up with a breakthrough appearance in Sports Illustrated's Swimsuit Issue in 1996, and more features in Vogue and Glamour.

Despite this print publicity, it was the seasonal fashion shows that became this model's bread and butter. Von Gerkan strutted her stuff for big names like Moschino, Ferragamo and Gianfranco Ferr. Other designers began to take notice and soon, fashion magazines were placing her among the most elite models in the world.
hot commodity
To cement her position in the industry, Von Gerkan took up several advertising campaigns in the late '90s as well. Chanel booked her for its ads for Chanel Coco perfume, Victoria's secret had her wearing lingerie and L'Oral secured her drawing power as well. Von Gerkan soon became wrapped up in the fast-paced fashion industry, doing numerous shows and print ads simultaneously.
juggling acting, store and crazy boyfriend
When activity slowed down after the millennium, Von Gerkan did not let up. She decided to open a vintage jewelry store in trendy SoHo, New York, and began selling pieces to big names like Jean Paul Gaultier. She tried acting too, getting a small role in the movie Shallow Hal, and appearing in four episodes of the TV show A Nero Wolfe Mystery. These projects, and her budding relationship with magician David Blaine, began to consume a lot of her time.
She enjoyed much time in the spotlight in September and October of 2003, when Blaine decided to hole himself up in a transparent cubicle in London and fast for 44 days. Von Gerkan was his biggest supporter and fought against many of the onlookers who decided to taunt him. Whether through her boyfriend's antics or by her own sexiness and business sense, Von Gerkan is sure to stay in our lives for years to come.

Washington, DC — Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid released the following statement to mark "Cover the Uninsured Week," a nonpartisan initiative to raise awareness about the millions of Americans who lack health insurance.
"This week is Cover the Uninsured Week, a chance for all of us to put aside our political differences and work to solve the health care crisis facing America today. The numbers are staggering. 46 million Americans lack health insurance, and more than 8 million of them are children. It is simply unacceptable for anyone who works hard, pays taxes, and plays by the rules to go without decent health care, but eight in ten uninsured are from working families. In America today, too many can't access the care they need and can't afford the care they can find.
"Cover the Uninsured Week is a chance for all of us, whether Democrat or Republican, to redouble our efforts to solve this terrible problem. The Senate will soon begin to debate health care reform legislation, and I pledge to do all I can to make health care more accessible and more affordable for the millions of Americans who need it."

The resignation of the Prime Minister involves the resignation of all his Ministers. The Labour and Liberal Ministers are thus relived of any necessity of forwarding their individual resignations to the Prime Minister.
At Mr Churchill's request the King agreed to dissolve Parliament on June 15. That will allow for polling on July 5, but it will not compel it, and it is believed possible that Mr Churchill may decide for July 11.
Fewer ministries to fill
Mr Churchill will meet the House of Commons on Tuesday with his new Government. It is not the case, as the romantics would suggest, that Mr Churchill did nothing today but cabinet making. Certainly it is one of the big jobs on his hands but it is only one. A general election is a very important affair, but it cannot monopolise the attention of a British Prime Minister at this moment in the history of Europe. Mr Churchill, there is good reason for saying, is finding certain international issues demanding the greater part of his time.
The difficulty Mr Churchill will have in filling all the offices left vacant by the departing Labour and Liberal Ministers has been discussed here before, Now, it seems, the difficulty will be reduced to some extent by the marrying of some Ministries and the complete disappearance of others. The marriages will take place between, it is believed, Supply and Production and Civil Aviation. Among the Ministries to die will be Home Security.
As has already been suggested, Walter Elliot and Mr Hore Belisha may be expected to return to office. Mr Churchill may also seek a recruit or two in the Lords.
Lord Templewood to come back?
There is Lord Templewood, (formerly Sir Samuel Hoare), a former Foreign Secretary, Secretary for India and Secretary for Air. Mr Churchill is known to think highly of the work Lord Templewood did in Madrid. And, of course, Lord Templewood is able, conscientious and industrious. There is no Tory out of office with a better title to be in it if capacity were the only consideration. Lord Templewood, however, cannot escape his past and his return to office might be dubiously received. Even Mr Churchill for all his power and prestige, cannot afford to handicap himself in the coming fight to the extent of being suspected - unjust thought the suspicion might be - of bringing "the old gang" back.
The Ministry of Information will go on for some time yet, but it will probably go on without the help of Mr Brendan Bracken. He has been an unqualified success as Minister of Information. He has breadth of mind, wit, and fluency, and that reckless contempt for office which always ensures promotion. If the sun of Bloomsbury has not become a still brighter luminary by Tuesday one will be surprised.
The coming campaign
The election campaign on the air will have enormous influence. Mr Churchill's advantages here are formidable. There is also the question of the amount of time to be allocated to parties. What is called an all party committee of members of the House of Commons has been sitting on the matter for some little time but "all party" turns out to mean Tories, Labour, and Liberals. Common wealth, the Communists, the I.L.P, and the Independents are not represented on it. It does not follow from that that the splinter parties will not be given any "radio time" but it is going to be dispensed to them form above. Why should not they be given a place on the so called all party committee? Why such exclusions on the morning of the supposed triumph of democracy?
A word about the Liberal party. Events have made any further letter from Sir Archibald Sinclair to Mr Churchill superfluous. But if he had to write, Sir Archibald would have written (a little more gravely no doubt) much on the lines of Mr Attlee. Labour and Liberals have been at one in their opposition to the July election and in favouring an autumn election. Sir Archibald Sinclair's speech to the Liberal Council on Tuesday will be in public, though the Council will meet in private afterwards.

My husband prefers the ease of 2-in-1 combos, but I don't get enough conditioning from them.

Textures of iconography
By Ashrafi S Bhagat | Published: 20th October 2013 12:00 AM |
Last Updated: 19th October 2013 12:31 PM | A+A A- |
He develops his works from the archives of his experiences and exposure to Indian tradition. Chippa Sudhakar, a Hyderabad-based artist, who recently showcased his multimedia works at Gallery Veda in Chennai, engages with different media to build a narrative through metaphors and symbols, giving a voice to his concerns about contemporary reality. Chippa uses wood, glass and resin in acrylic for etching, carved relief and colour washes.
Wood as an organic medium is subject to decay. The artist employs it to allegorise the mortality of existence and its fragility in a world dictated and dominated by diverse technologies with man exploiting nature perilously to near-destruction. His glass resin sculptures reflect upon life that has assumed the humdrum of mechanical subsistence.
As a creative individual, Chippa has engaged productively with his excellence obtained in technique and skills to develop a visual language which is dominantly figurative. The process of creating art nevertheless is inherently complex, conditioned by the contingencies of moments in the experiences of the artist's life. As a sensitive artist, Chippa has perceptively observed certain realities of life, which he has extended to communicate visually through an artistic vocabulary and formal elements.
His recent works are forms of his thoughts, are constitutive of his experiences and show a thematic engagement with varied social, cultural, environmental, ecological, technological issues; to make explicit his concerns in a world that is riding on a trajectory sans emotions and sentiments in the race of survival. His mixed media on wood including the book format has the representation of his stockpile images as the shaven head, lotus flower, florid creepers, triangles, squares and cryptic pictographs of ubiquities as the house, trees, plants, flowers, boat, pot, lamp etc. These images, which serve as metaphors and symbols, have been culled thoughtfully and suitably from nature, culture and technology to convey a particular message—like, the house (security and familial relationships), trees and plants (nature), boat (fulfillment of aspirations and dreams), lotus (security and renewal), auto parts (mechanical life) etc. These eloquently help in engaging the viewer to decode the meaning. Chippa's works mesmerise through their simplicity, naivety and clean and uncomplicated imagery, which elicits responses in throwing up valid questions. Are we becoming insensitive to our realities by leading mechanical lives? Is there an element of sympathy or feelings and empathetic emotions still remaining within us? Is technology ruling every aspect of our lives? What are we striving for? What do we want? These questions provocatively unfold through his indulgence with concepts and different media, explored with sharp acumen. He has created three-dimensional life-size heads from glass resin with insertions of auto parts and flowers; mixed media painting on wood with relief carving; has painted book forms and etchings that allow him to convey different dimensions of life in today's glocalised world. He says, "I delve into the nature of the medium and strive hard to arrive at an understanding of its character. The process of exploring and experiencing different media is similar to knowing and understanding people around me. Relationships are an integral part of my work. The imagery and motifs emerge instinctively from my mind".
In analysing Chippa's works, it is important to consider his articulation with formal elements, namely shapes, colours, textures lines, values, helping in clarifying his ideas. The engagement with sculpture articulates the narrative of mechanised life, with concerns for producing more wealth and possessions. His life-size transparent heads with mechanical auto parts reveal these ideas. Some heads contain flowers in white and purple, marking his take on spirituality. The heads were coloured in red, blue and purple, symbolically signifying anger, calm and meditative serenity or spirituality respectively.
Textures in Chippa's works have a dominant role lending an enigmatic quality, attracting the viewers to a closer scrutiny. This is further reinforced by his earthy colours as yellow ochres, raw umbers, sepia, reds and foliage greens as well as deep sea blues sky blue, spiritual purples and sunset orange.
Book is a poignant metaphor in Chippa's work. Many of his works have text and numbers, reinforcing their potential visual power.

The politics get dirtier
|By Andy Balaskovitz
A Chamber of Commerce 'initiative' is using the Pulse's photos for its campaign literature without permission. Quinney's campaign said the images are being doctored to make Quinney look 'more menacing, more black.'
Friday, Oct. 28 — A Lansing Regional Chamber of Commerce front group is using City Pulse property without permission in its campaign against City Council candidate Derrick Quinney. Moreover, Quinney's camp is accusing the group, Greater Lansing Progress, of "race-baiting" by doctoring a photograph to make Quinney appear "more menacing, more black," a consultant for Quinney said today.

Vital Statistics at Time of Disappearance
Missing Since: March 18, 1991 from Azalea, Oregon Classification: Non-Family Abduction Date Of Birth: July 5, 1988 Age: 2 years old Height and Weight: 2'5, 35 pounds Distinguishing Characteristics: Caucasian male. Brown hair, brown eyes. Thomas had a gap between his upper front teeth at the time of his 1991 disappearance. His nickname is Tommy. Clothing/Jewelry Description: A purple sweatshirt, gray pants and black and white checkered sneakers.
Details of Disappearance
Thomas was last seen playing in the front yard of his family's residence in rural Azalea, Oregon at approximately 11:30 a.m. on March 18, 1991. He has never been seen again.
Thomas's father, Larry Gibson, then the Douglas County Deputy Sheriff, told authorities he took a jog around the family's property in Azalea during the late morning hours of his son's disappearance. Larry carried a handgun with him to shoot stray cats, many of which had been living on the property. Larry claimed he shot at a cat near the area where Thomas was playing, but missed the animal. He then continued on his jog and learned his son was missing after returning to the house approximately 45 minutes later. A photo of Larry is posted below this case summary.
The family summoned law enforcement later in the day to search the property. Larry was told not to report to work at the sheriff's office, but apparently dressed in his uniform and left the property for approximately 25 minutes during the investigation. He stated that his four-year-old daughter witnessed an unidentified couple pull into their driveway and abduct Thomas. Larry said he was checking a local rest area for signs of Thomas and the couple. While members of the community searched for Thomas, Larry sat at home; at one point he told the searchers to give up and go home because it was snowing.
Authorities believed that Larry shot at a stray cat and killed the animal, as a deceased cat was located on the Gibsons' property near Thomas's last known location. Investigators believed that the bullet traveled through the cat and struck Thomas as he played, killing him. They theorized that Larry noticed Thomas's body after returning from his jog and buried the child in an effort to conceal the crime. Larry denied this scenario and maintained his innocence throughout the investigation. He resigned from the sheriff's office and moved to his native Montana after his son's disappearance. He and his wife separated in 1994, and she took their three other children and moved back to Oregon.
Larry's estranged wife and his daughter later changed their stories to authorities and said that his daughter witnessed her father hitting Thomas. Larry then put the child's body in a black plastic garbage bag, put the bag in the back of his patrol car and drove away. He was charged with murder in Thomas's case in 1994. Prosecutors argued that Larry had a history of abusing his children and was under stress at the time of Thomas's disappearance, as he had to care for the children while his wife was taking college classes. They theorized that, if he did not accidentally shoot his son, Larry lost his temper and beat the child to death. Larry was ultimately convicted of second-degree manslaughter in 1995, although he continues to deny any involvement. He was released from prison in 1996 and has since published a website appealing for information on the whereabouts of his son.
Thomas has never been located. His case remains classified as a non-family abduction.

October 19 2000
University of the Pacific
Institutional Priorities Committee
Minutes for October 19, 2000
Taylor Conference Room
IPC Members Present: Benedetti, Chambers, Fox, Gilbertson (Chair), King, Kirkland, KruegerDevine, Lundergan, Meer, Oppenheimer, Peterson
Guest's: President DeRosa, Lynn Kubeck
Minutes: Minutes will be reviewed at next week's meeting.
Continuing Issues:
I. Revision of Vision Statement – President DeRosa shared his thoughts on our first draft of the revised vision statement.
- We began by discussing whether a statement regarding graduate programs was needed? This was affirmed as long as it does not signal more doctoral programs.
- We then discussed omitting "taking full advantage of the rich resources". We shared with the President that this term was confusing and constricting, particularly because it was linked to national visibility. We need to uncouple the two ideas. We agreed that we need to highlight the "uniquely" rich resources of our region, as there is indeed something special about this area and how one links it to student learning and lifelong learning. The discussion also included the concept of partnering with other institutions, but further development of a statement was needed.
- Leadership Development: It was discussed that this term is a focal part of the mission statement and should be included. There remains the question of how being a "National Leader" in the leadership is defined and whether we can focus being a national leader in both experiential learning and leadership development. It was suggested that we get rid of the word "programs" as part of describing leadership development. It was also discussed that leadership should not focus solely on the undergraduate population. And, finally, there needs to be more time and attention on how to fuse leadership with curricular and co-curricular, as we a re currently engaging in some strong leadership development.
- Everyone was in agreement with adding Alumni to this statement. The President also discussed the need to keep our budget focused on current priorities. He specifically discussed developing an aggressive marketing plan aimed at potential students and their parents, increasing fund raising efforts, and addressing the need for an enhanced compensation package for all staff and faculty.
- Report on Internet Services Contract – Lynn Kubeck presented the issues and costs associated with expanding our Internet service to the campus community via contracts with AT&T and Sprint. The goal is to expand the megabyte capacity to better accommodate the entire community as we grow! Gilbertson, Cavanaugh and DeRosa will review the contract costs with Kubeck and move accordingly.
The meeting was adjourned at 2:00pm.

Jillian Michaels speaks about her tour
As a celebrity trainer and a New York Times best-selling author, [Jillian Michaels](http://www.jillianmichaels.com/) is known for her tough love. In her 90-minute [Maximize Your Life seminars](http://www.jillianmichaels.com/fit/maximize-your-life-tour-about-the-show), she unleashes the secrets of success she has developed over a career spent helping others achieve their goals, sharing her tips in a straight-talking, interactive, multimedia presentation. Focusing on the trifecta of self, science, and sweat, Michaels starts with what she knows best: fitness. Strategies include dietary changes that jumpstart metabolism and proven exercise techniques that transform bodies into sculpted statues and dumbbells into something other than ammo for a catapult. The talk also delves into mental strategies that prime attendees for success, banishing the negative thinking and lack of willpower that stand in the way of personal fulfillment and creating a systematic path toward achieving personal goals.

Three and out: Palmer to start for Raiders
NFL.com Staff | Tags: Three and out, Carson Palmer, Cleveland Browns, Indianapolis Colts, Joseph Addai, Oakland Raiders, Peyton Hillis
Palmer taking first team reps: Barely 24 hours since joining the Silver and Black, Carson Palmer has already assumed the duties of Oakland's starting quarterback and all indications are that he will be the man under center on Sunday against Kansas City. The Chiefs have been rather generous to fantasy quarterbacks this year, allowing more than 18 points per contest. But keep in mind that Palmer hasn't thrown a pass in anger in more than nine months, so you can expect a reasonable amount of rust.
But it's not all bad for the Raiders' offense. After all, there's still Darren McFadden, who is not only one of the league's top runners, but has proven himself to be a capable receiver out of the backfield. And you shouldn't be afraid to throw Darrius Heyward-Bey in your lineup. Palmer undoubtedly recognizes who his playmakers are and combined with K.C.'s horrid secondary, DHB should see a number of tosses in his direction.
Hillis still uncertain vs. Seattle: The weekly status of Peyton Hillis is quickly climbing the charts as 2011's Greatest Fantasy Headaches. Pardon us if you've heard this song before, but coach Pat Shurmur says Hillis isn't a sure thing for this week's game against Seattle. The hamstring that might (or might not) have been the reason for his extended stay on the bench last week kept him off the practice field on Wednesday. If he doesn't go, it will be another week of Montario Hardesty. Even if Hillis is available, recent weeks have shown that he's no lock to get most of the carries. Either way, the Seahawks have been pretty stout against the run, so you might want to skip a Browns running back altogether.
Addai misses practice: The status of Joseph Addai remains up in the air after sitting out practice with a tender hamstring. With Addai out last week, Delone Carter and Donald Brown split carries. And although neither did particularly well, keep in mind that it was against the very stout Bengals defense. Then again, Indy lines up against the Saints this week and New Orleans has been even tougher on fantasy running backs. If you're desperately in need of a bye-week replacement at running back, Carter's worth a flex look. But overall, you are better served by looking elsewhere.

I want to use my Mac as a sort of digital video recorder (DVR) by capturing movies from Hulu and other streaming services, then saving them for later viewing while on plane flights. Is that doable? If so, what's the easiest solution?
There's good news and bad news. The good news is that it's quite doable and with one of my favorite applications, SnapZ Pro X, surprisingly easy to accomplish. The bad news? The version of SnapZ Pro X that lets you capture video smoothly costs $20 more than the base $69 price for the application. That's $89 to capture videos. Ouch.
On the other hand, I have to say that I am a huge, huge fan of SnapZ Pro X (even if it has a bit of a goofy name), and it's the utility I use to take just about every screen capture you see on Ask Dave Taylor. It's a tremendous tool and surprisingly useful for even the least tech savvy users. Imagine being able to just capture a screenshot and email it to your geek cousin for help, or show designers the specific elements of a page you like, etc.
Anyway, that's an aside. Yes, you can capture the video stream and save it as a .mov or .avi. If it's on your screen, you can capture it. However, is it legal? That's going to vary from streaming video site to site. Some of them appear to be more or less public domain, while others explicitly state that it's verboten to capture video or audio streams from the site for separate consumption. And I can just about guarantee that any streaming site is going to have a hard time if you capture video then burn and sell a DVD or CDR or similar. Not good.
Specifically regarding Hulu, the Terms of Service say "Hulu is pleased to grant you a limited license to access and make personal, non-commercial use of the Hulu Services." Sounds like we're in the clear if you just want to capture it and watch it later. (if not, I'll hear from their lawyers about this blog entry and we'll both learn what's what)
So let's see how this works!
Before we get started, download and install Snapz Pro X. You can just use the demo version, though it'll have a watermark (text overlay) on the resultant video. It'll show you how the process works, nonetheless. You launch Snapz Pro X by pressing Cmd-Shift-3, all at the same time.
I'm just going to bring up a Web page with a movie or other show from the Hulu archive. I'll pick… um…. hmmm…. the painfully idiotic The Nude Bomb, starring Get Smart's Don Adams as "Agent 86". On the screen, it looks like this:
Since there's a "watch hi-res" option, I'll click on that to get a higher quality video stream (you need a good connection to do that).
Now, press the Cmd-Shift-3 sequence and you'll see:
The first three buttons refer to screen captures, but the fourth, "Movie", is what you want. Click on it and you'll see the "Movie Settings" options:
If those look good, your next step is to tweak and fit the resize window to exactly cover the Hulu movie window, which looks like this:
Once you're ready and have it sized properly, press Return and you'll see:
Give it a good name, click "Save" and it's running. You don't see much of anything happening, but trust that something's happening because it is. Give the movie a few minutes to capture enough to be interesting, then press the Cmd-Shift-3 sequence again.
Now you get a completely different window:
Click on "Movie Info" to see a bit about your capture:
Ready? Click "Save" and it'll start pulling all the audio and video data together:
Notice in the screenshot above the watermark that the program added because I hadn't paid for the movie capture upgrade.
Nonetheless, after a few moments, I have a new .mov video file on my desktop, "the-nude-bomb-capture.mov" and if I double click on it, it starts right up in Quicktime Player and I can watch the movie offline.
There are other apps that can help too, if SnapZ Pro X looks too complex. Check out Mplayer , iShowU and, for a different spin on things, Media Converter.org too.
I will emphasize again the importance of not doing anything with your captured video stream hat is against the terms of service of Hulu or any other streaming video service (e.g, Netflix, Amazon, IMDb, YouTube). It would not only get you in hot water, but could mess things up for everyone who currently enjoys the wealth of video material now available online.

Kim Kardashian fashion fans - you need a super long, sleeved dress to keep up with her style. Well, if the reality television star's latest look in Paris is anything to go by.
The 33-year-old was spotted strolling in Paris with fiancé Kanye West yesterday in not one, but two dresses of this cut.
The verdict on this style? Okay, two thoughts: 1) We think Kanye is telling Kim what to wear and 2) it needs to stop.Seriously. This charcoal dress wouldn't look good on anyone (except maybe Gisele Bundchen, whose super power is looking good in absolutely everything).
The couple have been spending more and more time at Kanye's Paris apartment recently perhaps due to the French law that couples cannot marry there unless they've been residents for 40 consecutive days. Which, er, kind of put a spanner in the works of their reported plans to get hitched there this summer.
Rumour has it, they may go ahead and say "I do" in LA and then celebrate their nuptials in Paris. We wait with bated breath (no, we actually do - this is the biggest, most important wedding since Prince William and Duchess Kate's).
LOVE KIM K? Check out her most stand out looks...

Arunachal Pradesh
Manipur has a long and glorious history from beginning of the Christian era. The recorded history of kingship started from 22 AD which marked the coronation of Pakhangba. After Pakhangba a series of kings ruled over the kingdom of Manipur. The independence and sovereignty of Manipur remained uninterrupted until the Burmese invaded and occupied it for seven years in the first quarter of the 19th century (1819-25). Then came British Paramountcy in 1891 and later on it was merged in the Indian Union as part "C" State on 15th October 1949. This was replaced by a territorial council of 30 elected and 2 nominated members was established under the Union Territories Act, 1962. The status of the administrator was raised from Chief Commissioner to the status of the Lt. Governor w.e.f. 19th December 1969. Manipur attained full-fledged statehood on 21 January 1972. With this a Legislative Assembly consisting of 60 elected members was established.
Geographically the state is divided into two tracts: the hills comprising of five districts and the plains with four districts. It is bounded by Myanmar on the east, Nagaland on the north, Assam and Mizoram on the west and Myanmar and Mizoram on the south.
From the level of subsistence agriculture, the State Agriculture Department now plans to go ahead with commercialization and self-sustainability during the 10th Plan period. The department focuses on (1) increasing cropping intensity from the present level of 123. 50 % to 136 % (2) increasing present level of firm mechanization, i.e, 0.1 HP/Ha. To 0.9 HP/Ha. (3) improving the soil health through amelioration of acid soil (4) minimizing external dependence for supply of seed inputs by strengthening infrastructure in state farms so that gradually the state can produce its own requirement of seed inputs (5) giving better protection to plants from insect pests and diseases through integrated Pest Management (6) Strengthening the existing training infrastructure for better transfer of technology to the farmers (7) developing infrastructure for agriculture and (8) bringing a change in the cropping scenario in hill areas of the state by introducing high yielding varieties of crop particularly paddy, oil seeds and pulses for overall increase in agricultural production and productivity to meet the demands for foods by the increasing human population.
Total area under forest cover is 16,926 sq. km of which 5,710 sq. km falls under dense forest while 11,216 sq. km falls under open forest. The forest cover accounts for 75.8 percent of the State's geographical area. Siroy hill range in Ukhrul District, Manipur is the abode of Siroy Lily (Lilium macklineae), the paradise flower which is not found elsewhere in the world. The Dzuko valley is also the only habitat of the endemic and the rarest species Dzuko Lily (Lilium Chitrangade). Manipur is the only spot on earth in which the Brow-Antlered Deer (Cervus eldi eldi) locally known as Sangai is found. This rare deer is surviving in its natural habitat at the Keibul Lamjao.
The habitat was declared as a National Park in the year 1977 covering an area of 40 sq. kms. It is unique in its own physical feature as the park lies submerged under water covered entirely on the surface by a floating entangled mass of vegetation like grass, shrubs and earth, called phumdi. The deer survives on top of this phumdi. The conservation measures taken up by the State has led to the rise of Sangai Population from a mere 14 animals in the year 1975 to 180 in the year 2003.
The other area already declared as protected area besides Keibul Lamjao national Park is the Yangoupokpi – Lokchao Wildlife Sanctuary with an area of 180.40 sq. km. It is situated at Chandel District and is located on the Indo-Malayan Zoogeographical Zone. The Malayan Sun Bear is found in this wildlife sanctuary.
The State is very rich in bio-diversity, large areas are still virgin forests. These are the habitats of very rare plants of rich medicinal value like Taxus baccata, ginseng, etc. it is also the home of many rare orchids and ferns.
Major and Medium Irrigation had been introduced in the State from 1980. So far 8 (eight) Major and Medium Irrigation & Multipurpose projects have been taken up viz; i) Loktak Lift Irrigation Project ii)Khoupum Dam Project ii) Sekmai Barrage Project iv) Imphal Barrage Project v) Singda Multipurpose Project vi) Thoubal Multipurpose Project vii) Khuga Multipurpose Project viii) Dolaithabi Barrage Project..
Out of the above i) Khoupum Dam ii) Imphal Barrage iii) Sekmai Barrgae iv) Loktak Lift Irrigation v) Irrigation component of Singda project vi) Barrage component at Keithelmanbi and a part of the left canal of Thoubal Multipurpose Project had been completed upto the end VIIIth Plan. The Irrigation potential created from these projects upto the end of IXth Plan was 28,500 Ha. With utilization of 20,910 Ha. and that upto March 2004 is 28,500 Ha. With utilization of 21,850 Ha. In addition, 1,200 Ha. and 900 Ha. of low lying areas of Loushipat and Poiroupat respectively has been reclaimed by Thoubal Project. 4 MGD of raw water is supplied to the State Public Health Engineering Department for water supply from the reservoir of Singda Dam.
Irrigation potential of 26,500 Ha. From the completed projects are targeted for restoration under the scheme during the IXth Plan. Because of financial constraint, irrigation potential of 350 Ha. only could be restored during the IXth Plan. The schemes are spilled over the Tenth Plan. At present, three ongoing projects viz; i) Khuga Multipurpose Project ii) Thoubal Multipurpose Project and iii) Dolaithabi Barrage Project are in progress. The projects are targeted for completion during Tenth plan.
The State Government is also planning for taking up new Major/Medium Irrigation Projects under State Plan and with funding by NEC. Chapki Multipurpose Project, Iril Multipurpose Project and Sekmai Multipurpose Project are to be taken up under State Plan and Jiri Irrigation Project and diversion of Chapki basin water to Loktak Lake are to be taken up with funding by NEC. An additional irrigation potential about 28,000 Ha., water supply potential of about 13.00 MGD and power potential of about 17.50 MW will be created.
Roads : Imphal, the capital of Manipur is joined by road (NH-39) with Nagaland on the north and Myanmar on the east, on the west with Assam by NH-53 and Mizoram on the south by NH-150.
The State has 8648 km of roads both surfaced and unsurfaced. The length of roads consists of National Highway 967 km. State Highway 668 km. District roads 1977 km and village roads 5036 km.
Railways : The state is including in the railway map of India with the opening of a rail head at Jiribam in May 1990. It is 225 km from Imphal. Dimapur, 215 km from Imphal is the nearest rail-head. The Prime Minister of India laid foundation stone for a new railway line (Jiribam-Tupul Railway line) on 20 November 2004.
Aviation : Imphal airport is the only airport which is linked with other stations in the region by Indian Airlines, Jet Airways and Alliance air.

Deggans on CNN's Reliable Sources Sunday morning
While you're kicking back with french toast or a cup of coffee Sunday, feel free to click over to CNN around 11:30 a.m. or so to see me appear with host Howie Kurtz on the media analysis show Reliable Sources.
The topic du jour: Are media outlets spending too much time covering the Conrad Murray manslaughter trial?
As I've said earlier in this space, the coverage is mostly about filling a niche. Cable TV channels focused on tabloid topics are dipping into the coverage of the guy accused of killing he king of Pop like folks bellying up to a buffet filled with gooey snacks.
Revelations about the last moments of Michael Jackson's death -- and allegations about the behavior of the physician accussed of killing him -- are the easiest target for 24/7 platform in serious need of attention-getting topics.
But I'm sure there's others who can argue for the newsworthiness of the coverage.
Feel free to offer any suggestionshere on what you think I should say...

"The players had Monday off and lifted weights on Tuesday," Lembo said. "Wednesday (strength and conditioning coach) Dave Feeley had a short conditioning session with them. Thursday we lifted again, we watched video of the Miami game, and then we got out on the field for about 45 minutes."
The Cardinals are still preparing physically, but with an almost endless array of bowl game possibilities, there is little that the staff can have the players do mentally in looking forward to an opponent or location.
"I'm hearing still to this point six or seven different possibilities," Lembo said.
Make that eight. The Mid-American Conference announced Friday afternoon that the league had also come to an agreement with the Military Bowl (Dec. 27) in Washington, D.C.
The conference has automatic tie-ins with bowls in Boise, Idaho; Detroit; and Mobile, Ala., and secondary agreements with games in Albuquerque, N.M.; St. Petersburg, Fla.; Dallas; Birmingham, Ala.; and now Washington, D.C.
It is also still a possibility if other leagues can't fulfill their obligations or choose not to, that Lembo's team could end up in Memphis or even Honolulu.
Having said that, many "experts" have Ball State projected to many different locales, and some are speculating that the Cardinals administration knows but hasn't revealed that information.
"I do not know where we are going right now," Lembo said late Thursday. "I also believe ... that the outcome of (the MAC championship game), as well as a couple of Big East games (today), will have an impact on it."

Union coach Kevin Sneddon wanted his players to shoot the puck often, and they did against defending ECAC tournament champion Harvard.
The only problem was, the Dutchmen had trouble getting the puck past goalie Dov Grumet-Morris. The outstanding sophomore stopped 29 shots, giving up only a penalty-shot goal to Glenn Sanders, as 13th-ranked and ECAC-leading Harvard captured a 3-1 win over Union at Achilles Rink.
"He played great tonight," Sneddon said. "I certainly thought [Union goalie] Kris Mayotte played a very good game, but Grumet-Morris was the MVP of the game in my mind."
Grumet-Morris improved to 3-0 against the Dutchmen (3-4-1 ECAC, 7-10-3 overall), who have lost four straight. He made 32 saves in a 4-0 win Feb. 23 of last year. This season, he made 24 saves in a 7-4 triumph on Nov. 29.
"I think, at times, when you look at the way people critique our team, some people say that one the weakest parts of our team is our goaltender," Harvard coach Mark Mazzoleni said. "Anyone that watched what happened at the end of last year, he was the major reason why we were able to make the transition we did. His play has been excellent this year. He has been steady every night."
Grumet-Morris stopped 13 shots in the first period. Many of them were quality opportunities. His best save came with 1:19 left. Grumet-Morris stopped Joel Beal's redirection in front of a Nathan Gillies pass from the right corner.
"I thought we outplayed them in the first period, we just didn't shoot the puck," Grumet-Morris said. "[Beal's shot] was definitely a close play. I saw him go for the pass, so I just tried to move laterally as quickly as I could to take away the low part of the net."
Midway through the second period, Grumet-Morris made a great glove save on a hard wrist shot by defenseman Brent Booth. That stop protected a 1-0 lead for Harvard (10-2, 11-5-1), which got a goal by Tom Cavanagh early in the period.
"We definitely ran into a hot goalie tonight," Beal said. "What's more frustrating than a hot goalie is when you're working so hard to get your chances and opportunities, and we give them some weak goals."
Brett Nowak scored a crushing goal with four-tenths of a second left in the second period. He was allowed to skate unchecked from the right-wing boards in the Union zone to the slot. Nowak fired a wrist shot over Mayotte's glove.
Dominic Moore's power-play goal at 7:31 made it 3-0. Sanders ended Grumet-Morris' shutout bid with 4:35 left in the game. He was pulled down on a short-handed breakaway by Noah Welch down the right wing. Sanders came in on Grumet-Morris, and backhanded the puck past the goalie, who got a piece of it with his pad.
Sanders is the first Union Division I player to score on a penalty shot. It was just Union's second-ever penalty shot attempt.
"I was a wreck," Sanders said. "The goalie didn't give me much choice. He came way out of his net, so I tried to walk around him. Luckily, it went in."

Super Rugby
McMeniman set to return for Force

Western Force forward Hugh McMeniman is set to return from a shoulder injury this Friday in the club's final Super Rugby trials against the Pampas XV and Samoa A at nib Stadium. McMeniman, who underwent shoulder surgery during 2013, is set to start at lock during the Force A match against Samoa A, with the Western Force to tackle Argentina's Pampas XV in the main game.
The Western Force starting XV is set to feature five of the squad's new recruits, including home-grown Perth products Ollie Hoskins and Zack Holmes, former Emerging Springbok lock Wilhelm Steenkamp, former Western Province outside back Marcel Brache and ex-Queensland Reds and Wallabies flyer Luke Morahan, who scored a double in last week's trial win over Samoa A.
Matt Hodgson will captain the side that also features Wallabies No.8 Ben McCalman and winger Nick Cummins. The Force will be looking to build upon last week's 69-3 win over Samoa A as they take to the newly resurfaced nib Stadium for the first time in 2014.
The Pampas XV will use the match as part of their preparations for the 2014 Pacific Nations Cup, with their 30-man squad including 18 players with Test experience.
Western Force coach Michael Foley says both the Pampas XV and Samoa A will provide strong competition for the club ahead of its opening match of the Super Rugby season against the New South Wales Waratahs in Sydney on Sunday, February 23.
"Last week was a good start and it's important that we step it up again this week," he said. "We're most pleased with the discipline we displayed under challenging circumstances. There were noticeable improvements in our contact and game understanding, and it's important we continue to focus on the detail required to ensure we're making the most of the opportunities we create. While our attitude in defence was very good, we appreciate that the Pampas XV and Samoa A, with a game under their belt, will pose a far greater challenge this week."
Western Force: Luke Morahan; Marcel Brache, Junior Rasolea, Kyle Godwin, Nick Cummins; Zack Holmes, Alby Mathewson; Ben McCalman, Matt Hodgson (captain), Angus Cottrell; Wilhelm Steenkamp, Sam Wykes; Kieran Longbottom/Ollie Hoskins, Nathan Charles, Tetera Faulkner
Western Force A: Jayden Hayward; Patrick Dellit, Chris Tuatara-Morrison, Luke Burton, Ed Stubbs; Sias Ebersohn, Ian Prior; Brynard Stander, Chris Alcock, Rory Walton; Phoenix Battye, Hugh McMeniman; Salesi Manu, Heath Tessmann (captain), Pek Cowan
Replacements: Robbie Abel, Francois van Wyk, Chris Heiberg, Bruce Smith-Wright, Corey Thomas, Richard Hardwick, Kane Koteka, Ryan Louwrens, Dillyn Leyds, Brad Lacey, Dylan Sage, Dane Haylett-Petty

What Can Be Done to Reduce Sensitivity in Teeth?
Doctor Answers 3
Sensitive teeth
I usually start by recommending Sensodyne toothpaste, which may take some time to work. If Sensodyne doesn't help, then fluoride desensitizers are the next step, and there are various other desensitizing products that can be placed on the teeth in the dental office. In cases where there is wear along the gumline ( called an abfraction or sometimes toothbrush abrasion), placing a bonded composite filling can end sensitivity.
See your dentist for an exam and x-rays. Your sensitivity may be due to tooth decay. If not, try using Sensodyn toothpaste to help alleviate the sensitivity. Best, Dr. Elizabeth Jahanian.
There are a few products you can use to reduce teeth sensitivity
An easy thing to try is Sensodyne toothpaste, which has potassium nitrate in it, something that helps reduce sensitivity.
There are also some products that a dental professional can place on your teeth, such as varnishes and other desensitizing agents. These generally will wear off over a 4-6 month span, but many patients like to simply have these applied at each cleaning.
Ask your dental professional what options are best for you and give them a try!

Nerlens Noel said he will most definitely be playing in the Orlando Summer League next month.
That's exciting news for Sixers fans who are itching to see the sixth overall pick in the 2013 NBA Draft put on a Sixers uniform for the first time. He told his plans to Michael Barkann and Dei Lynam on Philly Sports Talk on Tuesday evening.
Other topics of interest included the countless hours he and Brett Brown have put in working on his shot.
"Coach Brown has worked with me nonstop, from before games, after shootaround, countless hours. I definitely feel I've come a long way. Still a work in progress and I think if I can continue to develop my shot and improve it, I think that can take my game and help me utilize my quickness and athletic ability."
And to show he has a sense of humor, Noel even joked that the infamous 4-4-14 tweet was in regard to when Captain-something-or-other came out, before admitting that was a date he targeted for a return to the court in Boston. That obviously never happened.
As for MCW's status after offseason labrum surgery, Noel said his teammate is doing great.
"We talked the other day. He said he's doing great. He's making good progress slowly but surely. I know he's going to come back looking even better. He's going to have a lot of off time like I did to work on things that may have been a weakness at first. I know he's going to come back ready for the season when the time comes."

General Assembly gives state employees a thank you on the way out the door
Posted July 3, 2012
Raleigh, N.C. — The last bill passed in the Senate in the wee hours of this morning and the House this afternoon was Senate Bill 187, better known as the budget technical corrections bill.
Like the technical corrections bill with the film tax credit, this measure was a mix of genuine technical clarifications, last minutes shifts to funding and last ditch policy making.
Among the less-than-technical aspects, the bill -- now on its way to the governor -- gave teachers and state employees 5 extra vacation days. The rules for the vacation days are that they must be taken by June 30, 2013 and they will not accrue. However, teachers and state employees who retire before the end of the fiscal year can be paid for those days.
This was a provision that was in the original state budget but was taken out in the Senate version of the bill and did not make the version sent to the governor.
However, it's worth noting that SEANC, the state employees union, was lobbying legislators to override Gov. Bev Perdue's veto of the budget bill during the closing days of session. Several Democrats, including Rep. Darren Jackson of Wake County, cited those contacts during debate on the budget bill as critical reasons for voting against their party's governor.
"We didn't want to lose what was on the table. That was a real risk," said Ardis Watkins, SEANC's chief lobbyist. The final budget contained a 1.2 percent pay raise and SEANC was motivated to make sure that Perdue's veto didn't scuttle state workers' first pay bump in five years.
However, she said, SEAN had been aiming for a 2 percent pay raise and had been telling legislators the five extra days would be a morale booster.
"I think we were a broken record about our message," Watkins said.
That said, she acknowledged that SEANC's lobbying work was probably "helpful to the process" of overturning Perdue's veto.
Another policy in S 187 worth noting: It changes the School Calendar law. This is something that Sen. Phil Berger had in his education reform bill. Instead of requiring schools to have a 185 day school year, it says schools must have a minimum of "185 days or 1,025 hours of instruction covering at least nine calendar months." This gives local school boards flexibility to hold longer instructional sessions over fewer days and is seen as a potential cost saver.

NEW YORK (Sep. 28)
Rabbi Menachem M. Schneersohn, the Lubavitcher Rebbe, has condemned as unconscionable a proposal by the Synagogue Council of America that Jews pray silently outside their synagogues during Yom Kippur as a gesture of solidarity with Soviet Jews. The SCA, coordinating agency of Reform. Orthodox and Conservative Judaism in the United States, issued a clarifying statement yesterday noting that it did not call for processions or demonstrations but for silent prayer in front or inside synagogues after Musaf services. Rabbi Schneersohn declared that nothing must interrupt prayer and meditation on the holiest of days.

Hello. If you'd like to chat about this holiday or need help finding one we're very happy to help. Rosy & team.01273 823 700 email@example.com
The island of Gozo is just 9 by 4 miles in size meaning that all the activities for this holiday are close together keeping motorized journey times to a minimum, any transfers are group transfers.
On such a small island tourism plays an important social and economic role. With limited work opportunities, many young Gozitans are forced to leave the island they love and move to Malta in search of work opportunities. The development of tourism is helping to stem this flow.
The hotel we use has been deliberately chosen as it is Gozitan owned and has an entirely Gozitan staff. The hotel also actively promotes Gozitan heritage as the central part of the hotel is a 350+ year old farmhouse which has been sensitively converted to keep its character whilst the restaurant menu actively promotes locally sourced foods and traditional dishes. This ensures that the economic benefits remain on the island and are spread beyond the hotels walls. The hotel is situated on the edge of Xaghra village, within walking distance to the main square where you can support a variety of locally owned restaurants and small shops. It is also the perfect place to interact with the friendly locals as it is very much a traditional village and not a tourist resort.
Our activity providers are truly passionate about their island. They wish to ensure, as do we, that the future of this pristine environment and the local heritage is preserved for generations. This is imparted to our guests throughout the week as clients are given a greater understanding of the heritage and culture, and what must be done to preserve it, in an active way. There is a strict leave no trace policy on all activities and clients will also visit some agri tourism projects throughout their stay.

Has anyone thought, that maybe the reason that Ian didn't take Katie on the reward challenge, was because there is something going on between them and he didn't want everyone else to know???
My husband only watches every once and and while and that was the conclusion he came up with. I agree, I think more is going on and they are just doing a really good job of hiding it. You don't hug a friend, the way Ian hugged Katie.
Just my 2 cents worth.

Comments about ESP LTD EC Series Electric Guitar Case:
I got this case yesterday after waiting about a week. I didn't want to pay for the fast shipping this time. A case like this is always a good investment if you are planning to take a $800 guitar out and about to jam sessions and everything else. The guitar fits perfectly into the case and seems pretty durable as far as overall construction. The reason I gave it a 9 is because it seems like some of the more cosmetic stuff will fall off. There is a plastic type material that lines the case on the outside and I think that fall off after a little while. Other than that, you can't find a better case. Go for it!
Comments about ESP LTD EC Series Electric Guitar Case:
I received the Case quickly and the inside is a plush as you could want for your guitar (EC401VF) The fit is tight and holds the guitar secure. My only concern is the quality of wood used in the case as the lid is slightly warped.
Comments about ESP LTD EC Series Electric Guitar Case:
Very poor quality case for the price they are asking. I received mine today with nicks and a small tear on the corner of the lid. I had a previous ESP case for the MH series (which was made by TKL), that was much better and cost only $89.99 back in 2004. $119.99 for this case is way too high. However, I did get mine for $99.99 on a price match with AMS. It will do it's job of protecting the guitar,however, it just seems very cheap.
Comments about ESP LTD EC Series Electric Guitar Case:
Ordered this for a LTD-1000, Interior is very plush with storage bin. Better than expected for this price range. Very sturdy, provides great protection for the guitar.
Comments about ESP LTD EC Series Electric Guitar Case:
I had a little trouble getting my guitar in this case. Once it is in there, it fits perfectly. There is a little compartment under where the neck lies that can open and close. There's some room around the area by the headstock for a book or something and some more room under the body for anything else. It comes with three latches so it probably won't fall apart and the case seems very sturdy. If anything, the case will easily outlast my guitar!
Comments about ESP LTD EC Series Electric Guitar Case:
You have to have a case for protecting your guitar! I have the ec300 and this case fits it perfectly, as it is supposed to. Sturdy and the storage box inside the case is handy as well. Keep that precious esp protected!
Comments about ESP LTD EC Series Electric Guitar Case:
If you have the EC 300 guitar, picking up the hardshell case is a plus. To keep that guitar in good shape throughout touring, gigs, and practicing hauling this case is an good choice.

Ferbane is a small town on the north bank of the River Brosna in County Offaly, Ireland, between Birr and Athlone at the junction of the N62 National secondary road and the R436 regional road. The name of the town is said to come from the white bog cotton which grows abundantly in the surrounding Bog Of Allen. Ireland's first milled-peat fired power station was commissioned by the Electricity Supply Board (ESB) at Ferbane in 1957. Since the station's closure in 2001, the Shannon Development agency and the ESB have invested €1.4 million in the development of a new Business & Technology Park which opened in 2005. A new playschool was also built on the site which opened in September 2006.
