I SUPPOSE it had to happen. Sooner or later, "organic" was going to become a dirty word. What started as a fragile plant watered by a few hardy eco-warriors is now the stuff of big business, buy-outs and cynical marketing. A symbol that implies purity, good husbandry and wholesomeness, a move away from the processed and supra-refined, has become something we must question, whose integrity and quality is not guaranteed and which does not deliver what it originally stood for, namely great flavour and unimpeachable standards.
But let us begin at the beginning, in the halcyon days when health-food shops were still considered the province of the brown-rice-and-sandals brigade, and standing at the radical end were the macrobiotics, sprouting mung beans and alfalfa. Those of us who played some part in this small-scale resistance to the emerging packaged-and-processed culture, usually by adhering to whole grain, less meat, vertiginous levels of fibre and the questionable delights of the lentil bake, were gradually vindicated. Organics went mainstream.
The small growers, rearers and dairies that had survived the supermarket revolution and kept good food and good taste alive against the odds looked as if they would be able to consolidate their position and reach a larger, better-educated public, hungry for quality rather than cut-price factory fodder. Only it hasn't quite worked out like that.
The crises in the food industry, E coli, salmonella, BSE and genetic modification - blessed though they be to the organic movement - have started panic elsewhere. The Government and the supermarket giants have had to respond to the public's growing mistrust of the rotten state of industrial food production, and "traceability" and "provenance" have become the new-generation buzz words. Crudely, the small producers who have brought about a renaissance in food over the past 20 years are all threatened by buy-outs.
Rachel's Dairy, known for its integrity and sublime organic yogurts, has been bought by Horizon, a huge US food consortium. To expand the business, it is having to import organic milk from abroad, a practice known as "food miling": fundamentally against traditional organic principles - that promote the use of locally produced ingredients - I would have thought. As far as I know, there are only two small, independent, entirely organic dairies left, September Farm and Manor Farm. Whole Earth and Meridian have both been bought, as has Rocombe Farm, the best of the organic ice cream makers, by Yeo Valley.
I suspect a small business has to remain very small to survive these days and operate at farmers' market level, because the investment needed to produce volume and quality is more than most private individuals can muster, unless they've got very deep pockets or have retired from the City.
The problem is that people have entered the market whose desire is to saturate it and they've got huge marketing budgets that will inevitably undercut the smaller companies. The new, large-scale organic products that you see in your supermarket are an entirely cynical marketing exercise. The Enjoy Organics label is owned by Rank Hovis McDougall. Seeds of Change is owned by Mars. These are companies that have the financial clout, the contacts, the infrastructure and, unlike the small independents, can afford to lose money while they develop the product.
Commercially made organic food is not commensurate with quality. You lose the care, the traceability, all the things you believed were intrinsic to the organic manifesto. The giants start whittling away at the corners, because quality is not their prime objective. I'm not saying that the organicness is the problem; more that it's the cynical abuse of something people have worked hard at because they believe in it, and which is now being exploited purely for financial gain.
Look what has happened at Iceland. It is renegotiating the contracts it gave to its organic growers in the wake of its recent share crisis. The growers had to gear up to take on the contracts, some even converting to organic on the strength of the contract. Other supermarkets give contracts up to five years and think nothing of renegotiating them after six months. Where does that leave the small, organic supplier, who is, by then, captive?
Many of the labels are selling you a dream, something beautiful that you can trust, with rustic paper, pretty pictures and eco-packaging. Consumers are lulled into not reading the label, by the word "organic" emblazoned across the product. Yet why do you think that organic, mass-produced convenience food should taste any better than the non-organic equivalent? The answer is because of brilliant marketing.
So, read the label. Tesco's organic shepherd's pie contains only 17 per cent meat - Argentinian beef. The potato - well, it's organic, so of course, it must be good. In fact, it is "organic rehydrated flaked potato". That's an organic equivalent to Smash to you and me, reconstituted potato starch with a slimy texture not unlike wallpaper paste.
The meat, as in organic, mass-produced sausages, has probably been pasted through a grinder and could consist of gristle, ears, skin and all the extremities you can imagine. I asked Charlotte at Swaddles Green Organic Farm what percentage of meat she uses in her shepherd's pies. "Sixty per cent," she replied. "The supermarket ones are full of water. And they don't taste of anything because the meat's too young and they don't hang it. Hanging costs money and takes up space. You'd be better off going to a decent organic butcher than buying organic supermarket meat. The supermarkets are using the organic label to sell heavily processed foods.
'Denhay, Eastbrook Farm and Duchy Originals all use sodium nitrite in their bacon cure, albeit in small quantities, which is absurd," she adds. "You cook it, so you're not going to die of botulism."
The Soil Association allows them to carry the organic label, despite the fact that as far back as 1978 government scientists on the Food Advisory Committee said sodium nitrate and nitrite should be eliminated as soon as practicable, because when combined, in large quantities, with some chemicals in food, they form nitrosamines, one of the most carcinogenic substances known to scientists. Yet Swaddles Green makes delicious bacon and sausages without these additives.
There is a huge difference in standards between one organic chicken and another, too. The Soil Association allows a maximum flock size of 500 birds in movable arks, so they permanently have fresh grazing. Organic farmers and growers allow a flock size of 4,500 birds in static sheds with flap-up sides. Organic doesn't wholly mean organic, either; the Soil Association allows up to 20 per cent of the chickens' diet to be non-organic.
The ubiquitous jars of pasta sauces bearing the organic label are similarly lacklustre. They have clearly not been cooked long enough for the water content to evaporate and the flavour to intensify. And why not charge people for water? It's something our food industry has perfected, although what we are best at in this country is packaging; dressing things up with words and fancy outsides, while not bothering too much with what's inside the packet.
There is organic and organic, and my money will stay with the small, specialist producer. The shepherd's pie, I'll make at home.
This week's recipes
Chicken and leeks with lemon and tagliatelle
This is a delicious and simple mid-week supper; the caramelised meat juices are sharpened with lemon and enriched with butter.
Heat oven to 400F/200C/gas mark 6.
A small, good organic chicken, 2.5lb/1.25kg, will feed four or more people. Remove the giblets, which I add to the sauce at the last moment (this is optional). Quarter a peeled onion and a whole lemon, and put alternate hunks inside the chicken, then place the bird on top of a peeled, sliced onion in a roasting tin. Rub a generous 3-4oz/85-110g of butter into the breast of the bird and sprinkle over a generous pinch of sea salt and scrunch of black pepper. Place in the hot oven for 30 minutes, then baste with the buttery juices and throw in about eight cleaned, trimmed leeks cut into short batons, and roll them in the juices to coat. Return to the oven for a further half hour.
Meanwhile, bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil. Check that the leeks and chicken are cooked through with a skewer. I add the chicken liver and heart to the pan for the final five minutes. Sit the bird on a carving dish to rest and for a further rush of fugitive juices to escape.
Cook your pasta, fresh tagliatelle if possible, or good dried tagliatelle, about 4oz/110g per person. When just al dente, drain, but not completely. A tiny bit of cooking water helps lubricate the pasta while you amalgamate it with the sauce. Put the pot on the lowest of heats with the drained pasta, add a knob of butter and slick it over the pasta, then pour on all the roasting-tin juices, tipping the bird carefully to get all the juices from its insides into the pot, too. Throw in the leeks, and offal if you have used it. Finally, add the squeezed juice from another lemon and toss lightly. Quickly carve hot hunks of flesh from the bird (this is not a dish for delicate slices) and serve with the crisp skin on a warmed dish, so people can help themselves to the pasta and leeks, and build a stack of chicken on top of them. Sensational.
Baked cod with Greek potatoes (serves 4)
Heat oven to 400F/200C/gas mark 6.
Butter a gratin dish thickly and lay the slice of cod in it, skin-side down. Dribble a thin layer of best olive oil over the surface. Season well. Bake for 15 minutes, then test with a knife point or skewer. If it goes right through with no resistance, the fish is cooked. This might seem a plain way to serve cod, but the best, most translucently fresh and flaky fillet only needs these Greek lemon potatoes to set it off.
Greek potatoes (serves 4)
Heat oven to 400F/200C/gas mark 6.
Throw the potatoes into a roasting or gratin dish that they will fit in snugly. Then put in the onion and garlic, then the chopped herb, seasoning and olive oil. Pour in the lemon juice, then add enough water to barely cover. Bake for 45 minutes before turning the potatoes over and cook for a further 45 minutes. They should be cooked through, but I have known them to take a trifle longer. Serve alongside the fish with plenty of the oily, lemony juices.

When I asked for a brief "Q&A" with the popular kid's character Bob the Builder, whose stage show is coming to the Orpheum on June 5th, I thought I'd be the guy asking the questions. I thought I'd finally be able to find out the truth about Muck the bulldozer, Scoop the backhoe, Dizzy the concrete mixer and the rest of the Can-Do-Crew.

Voices of the South Artistic Director Jerre Dye on how the Edinburgh Fringe Festival evolved from an in-your-face event into something a bit more family friendly: " All those fringy edgy people with the piercing and tattoos spinning from the sky and screaming and yelling and covered themselves in pig blood were finding that they happened to have kids." Dye made the observation while plugging VOTS's children's theater festival on The Inexplicable Dumb Show, a web-based program that applies a morning radio aesthetic to theater chat.

This paper reports a spatially continuous distributed fiber optic sensing technique using optical carrier based microwave interferometry (OCMI), in which many optical interferometers with the same or different optical path differences are interrogated in the microwave domain and their locations can be unambiguously determined. The concept is demonstrated using cascaded weak optical reflectors along a single optical fiber, where any two arbitrary reflectors are paired to define a low-finesse Fabry-Perot interferometer. While spatially continuous (i.e., no dark zone), fully distributed strain measurement was used as an example to demonstrate the capability, the proposed concept may also be implemented on other types of waveguide or free-space interferometers and used for distributed measurement of various physical, chemical and biological quantities.

The Magnasonic Jewelry and Eyeglasses Cleaner shakes your valuables clean
While we don't go overboard wearing a ring on each finger, we do like to accessorize every now and again. More often than not, we have a select few pieces of jewelry that we wear more than anything else. This is the jewelry that is often worn, but cared for little. It's not that we don't want to clean these items, it's just not at the forefront of our minds, we don't have the time to make it to a jewelers, or we aren't to keen on dropping a lot of money on something we could do at home.

Brightness Zooming Bed Reader's Lamp lets you continue with your tome as your partner sleeps
How do you normally wind down at the end of the day? Some of us prefer to take a nice, warm bath and then followed by a foot massage, while others would love the soothing tunes of centuries old maestros over a kick-ass audio system. Reading is another pleasure that not many people indulge in these days, either, and doing so in the comfort of your bed is a really relaxing experience. However, if you share your bed with someone else, then a reading lamp is essential. Why not check out the $149.95 Brightness Zooming Bed Reader's Lamp?
The Brightness Zooming Bed Reader's Lamp is a wall-mounted light with dual heads, allowing one to power the scope on their side from a spotlight to floodlight — doing so without disturbing a sleeping partner. This is made possible thanks to a pair of independently controlled 2-watt LEDs that radiate a beam which will widen or narrow through its adjustable lampshade, illuminating fine details of crafts or providing optimal light for reading. Each light can also slide along a 19 1/4″ track and its 14″ gooseneck will let you raise, lower, or twist the light for optimal light projection. LEDs offer a bright, focused glow without the heat, too!
The Das Keyboard 5Q keeps you on track of…everything
The first alarm you hear in the morning is only the beginning of a long string of alarms that will go off over the course of the day. Not just the days you're working of course, because even your days off aren't really days off. You not only have deadlines breathing down your neck from work, but social media, emails, snail mail, stocks to watch, team projects, and more all have running timers in the back of your mind. For those who work online, your computer never gets shut off, because switching off means getting further behind.

808 Audio ushers in the summer with new CANZ portable speaker
We all love our music – otherwise the iPod would not have soared to its heights of popularity a decade ago, and apart from that, we would not have filled up most of the free storage space on our smartphones with musical tracks of our choice. When it comes to music, having a good pair of speakers is always highly recommended, so that your ears will be able to listen to your favorite tunes in the way that the original artist intended to. 808 Audio knows a thing or two about audio technology, where their Suspended Ear Cups Headphones were talked about before, and this time around it would be ushering in the summer with the all new CANZ portable speaker.

First Order Stormtrooper Helmet Prop Replica shows that you are a true blue fan
Being a fan of a particular movie, franchise or even actors and actresses can be a particularly tiring thing to indulge in, especially when you take into consideration the sheer amount of dough that you need to "invest" to show to the rest of the world that you are a truly serious fan, picking up all of the special edition DVDs, Blu-ray discs and the like. Long running franchises that have even picked up in popularity are a bigger drain on one's finances, too, which is why Star Wars fans are not exactly a rich lot. To help you part with $249.99, here is the First Order Stormtrooper Helmet Prop Replica.
This is one particular prop that pretty much says it all right from the get go, being a ready-to-wear, fully-assembled helmet that has been built according to a 1:1 scale. It is an absolutely gorgeous display piece for Star Wars fans, not to mention it has its place in being a fantastic costume piece to boot. Been recreated from a digital scan of an actual helmet, you will assume one of those nameless Stormtroopers who mill around, being a cog in the vast Galactic Empire. Since it is an officially licensed Star Wars: The Force Awakens merchandise, you can be sure that bragging rights come along with this First Order Stormtrooper Helmet Prop Replica, convex tinted lens and all.

Why did architect Drew Hubbell, a 20 year veteran in green building, decide to install solar panels on his home now? "Since my family is very careful in conserving energy, the payback for installing photovoltaic panels on our home was pretty long, and did not make sense." However, three factors changed his mind: the rising cost of electricity, the 5% Net Metering rule coming into effect, and the federal tax rebate expiring in 2016.
The Facts
In 2013, the California Legislature passed AB 327, a large energy bill. One part of the law deals with Net Metering. (Net Metering is the regulation that allows solar customers to connect with the utility's grid and receive full retail credit for power that they make during the day for use at night.) Here's what AB327 did to Net Metering:
- AB 327 continues the current Net Metering laws on the books for all solar customers that go solar NOW until 5% of all power is from solar (at peak). In San Diego that 607 megawatts. We should hit this anytime between late 2015 and end of 2016.
- The CPUC grandfathered in the rules for the early adopters for 20 years.
- AB 327 requires that all people who go solar AFTER 5% of all power is from solar go on a new set of Net Metering regulations.
- AB 327 states that the CPUC must draw up the new Net Metering rules by the end of 2015.
In summary, when SDG&E reaches 5% of all power from solar, there will be a line drawn in the sand: the early adopters who went solar under 5% will get one set of rules and everyone else who goes solar after 5% will get a new set of rules. We do not think the new set of rules will be as beneficial. Solar will always be a great investment, but we believe the smartest choice is to go solar before the rules change when we hit the 5% threshold. Since solar installations have been doubling every year, most people expect we will reach the cap in late 2015 or early 2016. Currently we are at 2.9%. Also expiring in 2016 is the 30% Federal Tax Credit. For those who want to stay in the know, here is how to track the progress: www.sdge.com/clean-energy/net-energy-metering/overview-nem-cap
The current net Metering solar regulations were originally created as a subsidy to early adopters. This allows solar customers to receive full retail credit for the power they make during the day for resale use at night. The zero down loan payment may even be lower than one's current SDG&E bill, which means you may pay less for your solar bill than you do for your SDG&E bill, which may not be the case after we hit the 5% threshold.

To alt whom i 15. ma concern Be it known'thatwe, (1) GEORGE one i DICKEY and (2) CHARLES Amms'rus D em-1r,
citizens of the United States of America, .re- .6 sidin'gat Pit-took and (2.) New Sheffield, in the counties of (1) Allegheny ,and' (2) Beaver, and State oflennSylvania, have invented certain new and useful Imprve-' ments' in Lamp-Brackets for Semaphore- Signals, of which the. follow ng is aspecification, reference being ha'd therein to the accompanying drawing I 1 Thisjnvention relatesto lamp brackets for semaphore signals, and the primary object of our invention is to provide a lamp bracket that has approximately n-ine'adjustin ents whereby a lamp can be correctly positioned relatively to a semaphore arm and i the lenses. or bulls eyes thereof, whereby a signal will be properly displayed. Another object of this invention is to.pro videa lamp bracket for semaphore signals that can be advantageously used throughout a railroad system, particularly upon such systems where curves, grades and irregular sections of track require special attention in --the-pr'oper setting'of signals, it being a well known, fact that semaphore posts or standardsare not always vertical, consequently I the semaphoreand lai tern uscd in connection with the =p'ostdo' not properly a'linc when actuated, causing either-anentire or partial obliteration of the signal, a poor light and in a great-many instances a misunderstanding of thesignals that often re.

A further object of this invention is to accomplish the above results by a lantern bracket that is simple in construction, du-
rable, inexpensive to manufacture, easy to install and adjust and highly etlicient for the purposes for which itis intended.
With theabo've and other objectsin view the invention resides in the novel coiistruction, combination and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter specifically described and then claimed. 1 4

When a woman turns forty, often she is told that now that she is firmly into middle age she should dress accordingly. While it is true that women need to consider their age while picking out what they want, it does not mean they cannot look good and that too in casual outfits. In fact, you have attractive hairstyles for older women and these do tend to flatter a more mature looking face. Casual outfits by definition are considered a younger woman's territory and the older woman is sometimes considered too curvy to try these out. In such cases, why not look out for curvy girl fashions, which take care of this aspect.
This attire to make you wish like dressing more often and snatch every opportunity to grab those high heels especially.
Just another perfect outfit when winters are spilling snow all around. Style will not be compromised; I swear!
A little dress with such an attractive ombre tint is a must have workhorse for a perfect casual wardrobe.
As bright as your future; here comes yet another stylish work outfit with drape fall inspired top along with the skinny pants. Go trendier this spring.
Just look at the way that neckpiece is making even the simple black top look stylish with a touch of traditional embellishment.
It is visible when you taking efforts for maintaining that toned belly and then such skinny top will also look undeniably attractive.
Layering was always my favorite and being prescriptive here I will suggest you to add some nicest of the sweater with different kinds of weaving styles in your closet.
Casual Outfits For Women Over 40
Another aspect that older women need to focus on is to ensure that they get their sizing correct. It helps if they know the difference between modern sizes and vintage sizes, so that you get the size aspect right. While there, is no rule or any logic that says that an older woman in her forties cannot wear a casual outfit and look good in it. Having said that, there is one thing older women in their forties need to take care of and that is follow some simple rules. Once they do that they will look really good in casual outfits.
Don't wear the clothes that contradict your personality since it will only make you look older and heavy than you actually are.
Floral pants to fulfill all of your desires to look stunning in whatever you pair with it. Well, I will prefer you to go for the blazer and top at work.
Boyfriend jeans and the skinny top is a fashion approved attire.
One rule that you must know is that pairing loose staple with that of the fitted one make the garb look fashion forward.
When you feel like dressing the way you used to in 20's, go… tuck the shirt in and buckle up waist belt.
Hipster is when you know how to layer cable knitted sweater with the scarf and elegant top with skinnies. And still finding ways to grab a hat and ankle high boots.
Indo-western look is snatching attention from these fortysomething ladies since this one again makes them look sober and stylish at the same time. Long top with palazzo is one good example of such semi-formal attire.
Coat cum blazer; perfect for winters and style-worthy for work it is!
Here Are Some Tips On This Intermingled With Some Outfit Ideas:
Drape not pleat: One of the things that women over 40 need to keep in mind is that the fall of the dress makes a lot of difference. Even if the woman in her 40s wants to wear something that is like a casual dress or frock she can as long as she gets the drape right. Instead of a tight or a flared fitting, the way to go about it is to get the drape to look fitting and soft.
Fall of the outfit is yet another factor a lady with age forty-something has to take care off. Through, the tough life and bulged out tummy, this is one thing that helps in keeping body shape under control.
Didn't this 40+ look idea makes you feel like having bang haircut right now? Well, it is literally capable of transforming your age into half making you look younger.
Cinching up the waist by adding a broad belt is an intelligent thing to try and look younger even in the little dresses.
Blazer, I tell you ma'am, if it fits perfectly will be your favorite attire that will indulge that feeling of smartness inside you.
Talking of prints, the time has gone when floral prints were the ones ladies went crazy for. Striped black and white bodycon dress is becoming a global inspiration.
Country side is trending the most flattering outfit for winters with a woolen top layered with a sweater and scarf completing every aspect of your garb.

Over the next hour I watched as the storm approached but never arrived. Although the lightning flashed and thunder rolled, the storm veered south. Several times I peered back into the house to see if Sasha had become hysterical yet, but she slept soundly through it (a blessing of old age ?).
I felt a little exposed standing out on the balcony and in the yard, but the display was both fascinating and awesome. [click on the photos for a better view]

USA International Harp Competition Volunteers
The USA International Harp Competition's tradition of volunteerism dates back to its founding in 1989. With the support of Lyon and Healy Harps, Indiana University and the Bloomington community Susann McDonald's dream of establishing a world-class international harp competition became a reality. Due to the support of countless volunteers, the 1st USA International Harp Competition was a tremendous success. Throughout its existence USAIHC organization has had an impressive record of recognizing emerging talent. USAIHC is committed to promoting the harp and to fostering the careers of gifted young harpists and composers.

(PhysOrg.com) -- A groundbreaking study by UT Dallas' Center for Vital Longevity is focusing on twins in an effort to answer some long-debated questions about the rival influences of nature vs. nurture.
Researchers are seeking participants for the Texas Twins Study, which tests the genetic component of neurocognitive development among young adults. The study uses functional MRI technology to investigate brain activity among pairs of identical and fraternal twins.
Dr. Denise Park, director of the Center for Vital Longevity, is conducting this work in collaboration with Dr. Thad Polk, the Arthur F. Thurnau Professor of Psychology at The University of Michigan.
The study examines the pattern of neural activation in the human brain in response to various stimuli and tasks, as well as the differing roles played by nature - or genetics - and by nurture, which reflects how a person was raised and educated. The UT Dallas researchers use leading-edge technology to investigate a range of cognitive functions and their corresponding neuronal activity patterns.
By comparing twins, the researchers are able to learn more about the influence of genetics on our thinking and behavior by identifying differences in cognitive functions and neuronal activity. Identical twins share the same genetic pattern, while fraternal twins are no more alike than other siblings. To get a comparison between non-related individuals, scientists scramble the pairings and look at unrelated individuals from among the tested groups.
Neuroscientists have established that different categories of visual stimuli elicit distinct patterns of neural activity in the brain's ventral visual cortex, which is associated with object recognition and form representation. Different parts of the brain are activated when people look at faces as opposed to when they view buildings and other outdoor scenes. Meanwhile, certain parts of the brain are engaged by words and letters, while other sections play a central role in processing symbolic or non-symbolic numerical information.
In a previous study with twins, the research team discovered the role of genetics in cortical response to various visual stimuli. Scientists determined that neural activity in the brains of identical twins is more similar than that of fraternal twins while performing the same simple task, indicating genes' influence on recognizing faces and outdoor scenes.
"The activity was more similar in identical twins when they were looking at pictures of faces and places than when they looked at pictures of chairs, for example," Park said. "Recognizing faces and locations is vitally important to survival, whereas identifying chairs is not, so we may be more genetically wired for tasks that are closely connected to survival."
Researchers know less about the role that heredity might play in neural function as individuals engage in more complex tasks. The current study seeks to expand on the findings from the previous work.
Participants will perform two tasks as part of the project. The arithmetic section involves adding and subtracting sets of dots and judging whether the dots are similar geometric shapes. In the word task, participants will decide whether certain letter arrangements match or differ.
Park said she hopes the study reveals clues about how much our genes determine our math and reading abilities. Based on the previous findings, the answer may be connected to how essential these abilities are to our survival.
After the completion of this round of research, Park may embark on another twins study. She said she is interested in testing sets of elderly twins to find out how their neural activity is modified by aging. Park would like to know if genes play a smaller or larger role as we grow older.

Ellen DeGeneres Quotes About HouseQuotes about: House
I had no intention of becoming a comedian. I just wanted to make people happy. I tried everything-I shucked oysters, I painted houses, I sold vacuum cleaners. But there was always a voice saying, You should be doing something different. And it was usually my boss and I was being fired.
Actually this is really funny - one time she accidentally forgot to leave a note and I had no idea she had even moved. I was living in the house with a beautiful Mexican family for three months before I realized they weren't my cousins visiting from out of town. They were so nice. They called me "Quien es, quien es," which I thought was a beautiful name.
I think the hard thing about this job [stand-up] I mean, I think this part is great but that the traveling is y'know, 'cause 'cause I'm gone a lot from home and this time I'm out for three-and-a-half weeks without going home, and that's hard, to be gone three-and-a-half weeks 'cause then I have to ask my friends, "Would you mind going to the house and watering the plants, and turn some lights on and make it look like somebody's home, and make sure that the mobile over the crib isn't tangled or the baby's gonna get bored...

Don't insult Indian audience's intelligence: Nikhil Dwivedi
"All the adults will be ready for it ('Hate Story'). If you are an adult, you are allowed a lot of privileges by even the law of the nation because you have attained a certain sense of maturity," said Dwivedi.
"I think somewhere by talking like this we are insulting the intelligence of the people of this country. Of course, they are ready and mature enough to watch a film like this," he added. A Vikram Bhatt production, "Hate Story" also features Gulshan Devaiah of "Shaitan" fame and controversial Bengali actress Paoli Dam.

My mess (opotamus--opatamia)
The rain sets its ears down. Think little for the sound.
I've been better
off in bed
today. Like this container? the man selling
containers asked. No one listed.
The rain set its hair up. Look hard for the shoulder there.
The date for tomorrow is a lucky one, the 7th. Some bets to carry
off to the corner
and turn
on. Copy the signs and send them
uptown, send them singing.
All the paper scraps accordioned here. All them rejoicing.

Mike Rizzo reluctantly parted with 2010 fourth-round pick A.J. Cole in the December 2011 trade with the Oakland A's that brought Gio Gonzalez to the nation's capital in return for Cole, left-hander Tom Milone, right-hander Brad Peacock and catcher Derek Norris.
Given a chance to reacquire Cole a year later when the Athletics got involved in three-team talks with the Nationals and Seattle Mariners, Rizzo pulled the trigger on a deal that brought the 21-year-old Cole back to the organization that drafted and signed him to a well-above slot deal. That convinced the pitcher, considered by some unlikely to sign, to forego his commitment to the University of Miami and start his professional career.
Cole had a tough experience in the hitter-friendly Single-A California League in his one year in the A's system, but that didn't concern the Nationals general manager, who was happy to get the right-hander back.
"The right players had to be involved, or we wouldn't have made the deal," Rizzo explained after the Nationals sent Michael Morse to Seattle, while catcher John Jaso went from the Mariners to the A's with Cole, right-hander Blake Treinen and a player to be named later, who ended up being left-handed reliever Ian Krol, coming to Washington. "Once the right players were involved and players that we really wanted for a talented player like Michael, I didn't find any reason not to do the deal. So when A.J. became part of the deal and we got two others pieces, then that was the deal that I felt was the deal to pull the trigger on."
"(Cole) was toughest part for me of the package for Gio," Rizzo told reporters after he got the pitcher back. The plan was to get Cole working with Nationals pitching coaches again and back on the developmental track he was on before being dealt to the A's. In Cole, Treinen and the PTBNL that wasn't announced until weeks later, Rizzo said he got what he wanted in return for Morse, who was a man without a position when Denard Span was acquired and Adam LaRoche re-signed.
"We feel very fortunate to get the package that we did for one year of control of Michael Morse," the GM said. In March, Ian Krol was named as the final player in the deal.
When LaRoche struggled at the plate to start this season and Morse continued to hit, the GM was asked on his weekly radio show on 106.7 the Fan in D.C. if he regretted trading Morse.
"We got three power arms for (Morse) that are going to help us in the near-future," Rizzo said, "Treinen is in Double-A throwing extremely well, up to 97-98 mph. A.J. Cole is really starting to take the next step. He'll end up in Double-A this year. Treinen will end up in Triple-A and Ian Krol is a reliever in Double-A at 22 years old, who is a power lefty who has, I think he's got a (1.10) ERA in Double-A."
For Krol, the "near-future" arrived quicker than most probably expected. The left-handed reliever had a 0.69 ERA in 21 games and 26 innings pitched before he was called up to the majors a few weeks after Rizzo's comments. The former A's prospect made his major league debut June 5. In seven appearances with the Nationals, Krol has yet to allow a run, throwing 6 2/3 scoreless so far. The Nats showed a lot of faith in the left-hander, bringing him up as quickly as they did, and Davey Johnson even turned to him late in a big pressure situation in Wednesday's game in Philadelphia.
With the Phillies' Jimmy Rollins on first with two outs after Tyler Clippard walked him in the ninth inning of a 2-2 game, the Nationals manager brought Krol in to face Ryan Howard. Krol walked the big slugger, but popped Domonic Brown up in the next at bat to keep it tied at 2-2 in a game the Nats went on to win on Ian Desmond's 11th-inning grand slam. It was the biggest appearance yet for the player to be named later in the Morse trade.
Meanwhile, in the advanced Single-A Carolina League this week, Cole was named the Pitcher of the Week for the second time this year after throwing seven scoreless innings in which he struck out 10 and allowed just four hits as the Potomac Nationals clinched the first-half Northern Division Championship. On the year, Cole is now 4-2 with a 4.16 ERA and 10.3 K/9 in 71 1/3 innings pitched for the P-Nats. Treinen, 25, is 6-6 with a 3.54 ERA in his first exposure at Double-A.
Nationals fans may miss Morse, and the Nats might miss his offensive contributions, but the deal that sent him to Seattle is already paying dividends at several levels of the Nats organization. Not a bad early return for one year of control of Morse.

- For those who have played Shadow Chaser in Renewal...Questions!
1. Reproduce. Description:Allows you to learn a skill that's targeting you while this buff is applied. Use the skill again to preserve it. To learn another skill, use Reproduce again to erase the skill you already learned. You can learn 1 skill at a time. The level of the skill you can learn depends on your level of Reproduce.
Question for that, I THINK that this skill can only be used with skills that are targeting you for the duration. In other words, Reproduce can only copy skills that are targeted at you which have a casting time? Am I getting this correctly?
A follow up question for number 1 would be, are there any restrictions to the skills that can be copied for Reproduce? Can I copy support skills that are targeted at me? Assumptio? Etc?
2. Shadow Form. Description: Hide in someone's shadow, and have them receive the damage you receive. Shadow form ends when you take a certain amount of hits, or when your target moves out of range. Cannot attack, use skills or items in shadow form.
A lot of questions for this one actually, since it is actually the exact opposite of Devotion. So, my questions for this one are...
Can I mix Close Confine with Shadow Form? Cast CC first on the target, immobilizing it and then casting Shadow Form? Will I retain the Close Confine status on me and my target?
Are there any restrictions to this skill? If I get hit with an AoE, who will receive the damage?
How many cells is the range of Shadow Form? Can anyone give me an exact number of cells?
3. Triangle Shot. Description: Send 3 arrows flying towards your target. Consumes 3 arrows per use. There is a low chance to knock back the enemy.
So, it says here that at Lvl 10, the damage output of Triangle Shot is 570%. The question is, will the 570% be the total damage or will it be 570% PER arrow. See the difference? Is it 570% or will it be 570%x3? Though, it'd be pretty imbalanced if it was 570%x3, so I GUESS it's only 570% damage in TOTAL.
4. Invisibility. Description: Completely conceal yourself. In this status, all your attacks become Ghost property Level 1. Cannot use skills or items for the duration, and ASPD is reduced. Will continually drain SP, and cancel if SP reaches 0.
Pretty...useless. For me. Not a WOE fanatic here. Still, now is a good opportunity to ask questions.
Question for this skill is...
Completely conceal...? Is this like GM hide or something? To really be undetected by the enemy, unless the player runs out of SP? (5%SP drain per second, hell, it SHOULD be!) Might be the safest way to get away from the enemy, but surely, not the SMARTEST way.
5. Masquerade skills...are they 100% Sure-proof or do they have a success rate? It says in the description that, 'target/user levels affect the success rate'. Which one are they referring the success rates to? The success of the skill? Like the Divest Skills?
6. Man Hole. Description: Paint a hole on the ground to trap 1 enemy. Trapped targets will not be able to do attack, but cannot be attacked either. Consumes 1 Can of Paint and 1 Paintbrush.
These skills make me want to use the other skills in a conjunction...IF possible.
Questions for this skill are...
Since this is a trap skill, i'm guessing that the target must first actually WALK into the manhole for it to activate right? You can't place it on a cell that is occupied by the target. Right?
Is this skill usable with other ailment skills? (Man Hole-->Close Confine-->Shadow Form?)
Well, there you have it. My lists of questions, i'd try them out if I can and save myself the anticipation of waiting for the answers to be posted. Anyone with knowledge on the matter, please shed us some light. Thanks. :)

1. See: Rogue's Intimidate and Stalker's Preserve.
3. Unless stated otherwise, it's total. DS is the best example.
5. Success rate of the skill.
6. They "cannot be attacked".

That one time I went crazy
Once upon a time - okay, 2011 - Anthropologie decided to test the children's market by introducing a children's collection. I can't remember how many vendors they carried and I can't remember how long they ran this experiment but the outcome was everything you can expect: magic, whimsy, exceptional attention to detail and great quality. Sadly, the children's line vanished as quickly as it appeared (kind of like the More of Me Maternity line which took us by storm in 2012 but then fell into a black hole) but somewhere out there, like all things beautiful and vintage - the clothing remains.
Enter 2013 when I found out I was pregnant with a girl and I remembered that children's collection with an inexplicable fury. Perhaps it was the absence of the Y chromosome or perhaps I was so (so, so) sick that I just needed a good distraction, but when I recalled that 'Anthropologie for Kids', I was on a mission for a unicorn. Or a leprechaun. Or both.
Somewhere along that mission, I found a pot of gold on eBay. That's seemingly innocent but not too long after is when the insanity ensued. First of all, I found said auction on a Wednesday night and I was scheduled to have dinner with a girlfriend on Thursday. The auction was set to end some time after 8 and dinner was around 6, so I wasn't terribly worried, but cue the first sign of "crazy" - I set an alarm. Just in case.
Well guess what? It's a good thing I set that alarm because while we were still eating and gabbing (okay, okay - I was eating - GEESH - I was pregnant) - my bag began buzzing! Cue my second outburst of delirium, I began flailing my arms to grab the attention of our waitress and like Cinderella, gathered all my belongings in a panic and declared to my friend, "I have to go!! I have an eBay auction I have to attend!" That's what friends are for because she understood. (Well, she might not have understood, but she knew me so she totally got it.)
I got home safe and sound and promptly planted myself in front of the computer. My sweet husband came in to innocently ask, "How was dinner?" Enter just one more sign of crazy - I replied, "SSSHHHH! DON'T TALK TO ME. IM VERY BUSY!" He rolled his eyes and left the room.
I can't remember how much I spent on that "mouse sweater" (or how much I told myself it was okay to spend or how much I told my husband I actually spent) but I remember one thing very clearly: I won that auction and IT WAS MINE. Who cares if the sweater was a size 2T and it would need to sit around in a closet for over a year? I would hoard it like all the other beautiful things I began accumulating as soon as I found out I was pregnant. My closet over-floweth (but is that really a bad thing?).
That beautiful mouse sweater began fitting my daughter in 2015. I kept pulling it out every few weeks after she hit 15 months until finally it wasn't so big that she looked silly and with a huge smile she declared, "MOUSE!" while pointing at her pocket. I agreed. I went through quite the ordeal to get that sweater but never dreamt she would appreciate that little mouse detail as much as me; It made it worth everything.
Perhaps that's why I'm so crazy about clothes; I don't see clothes and think 'fashion.' I see clothes as the backdrop for my stage called life. When I see this sweater, I don't see a sweater. I see and relive all my memories: the burning excitement I had of planning for a new baby ... the dinner I had with a great friend. I remember the patience of my husband through my (really bad) pregnancy and the love I have for him for being him while allowing me to be me. And I remember - yes - maybe I went a little crazy? But that's ok - because - well, I mean, MOUSE!
PS - Feel free to share in the comments any memories of your "crazy" - it's totally okay. We don't judge .. particularly because we've been there before and we totally get it.

He says the job should instead focus on acting as the voice of the party in government and asserts that the office of deputy prime minister has outlived its usefulness.
Mr Cruddas is being urged by key figures in the big unions to stand. He would probably draw support from centre left MPs. "It is true I have been approached and that is flattering," he said.
"Right now, I am not crunching any numbers. That would be presumptuous. There is no vacancy. I am trying to see if I can help start a rolling debate about what this job is, and how the party needs to organise itself. One thing is for certain: the status quo is not an option."
In a Guardian article Mr Cruddas says: "It is time the holder of the post had the space to exercise their duties to the party free of the burden imposed by being deputy prime minister. The post should become the transmission belt between party and government; the holder should not be a minister."
In effect, he would like to merge the current role of party chair, currently held by Hazel Blears, with that of deputy leader. He said he did not see any requirement for the deputy leader to attend cabinet, save for political cabinet meetings. It is understood that the chancellor, Gordon Brown, is interested in rethinking the role of deputy leader, and has been urged by some colleagues to abolish the post of deputy prime minister once John Prescott stands down.
As a backbencher with no ministerial experience, Mr Cruddas will be seen as an outsider, up against a string of big cabinet figures. But he is respected in parliament for his independent stance. He has also developed a reputation for campaigning effectively against the BNP whilst accepting that East End communities are struggling.
"I have the luxury of being Joe Backbencher or Jon Who?, so I can raise some issues that others may steer away from."
He stresses: "The deputy leader must oversee the reconstruction of the party's crumbling infrastructure. We must turn around the decline in our membership base, reintegrate activists into the policy making process and rediscover our campaigning edge at local and regional level."
He also calls for a shift away from polling-led policy, saying: "We must ensure that our dependence on opinion polls and focus groups is balanced by a conversation with real people, expressing genuine, real world opinions, not sanitised, structured consultations with predetermined outcomes. They should ensure that the depth and diversity of the electorate are reflected in a true political dialogue, rather than relying on small, synthetic groupings such as 'Middle England' or 'Mondeo Man'. Above all, they should begin to highlight the synergy between our movement's ideals and the ideals of the British people rather than pander to the wretched methodology of modern politics captured in the term 'triangulation'."
Mr Cruddas claims the post of party chairman was perverted from its original concept 12 years ago to that of a cheerleader for government inside the party.
The former foreign secretary, Jack Straw, is due to signal his interest in the post in a weekend interview, whilst the constitutional affairs minister, Harriet Harman, is discussing her interest with her constituency.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Andy D.
Review for International Rescue Committee, New York, NY, USA
IRC has both disaster-centered and stateside programs for refugees, backed by sound financial management, and a long-term view that makes it unique among charitable agencies in international health.
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
helping to set up refugee relief in Somalia in 1981. Today's crisis in East Africa is a repeat of the same problems, much compounded by the acquisition of weapons.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Give them lots of money to train workers in Arab culture and refugee-camp engineering. Develop an advanced program of communications based on the Internet or cell-phones and solar power so that the camps can obtain current information and share results with the world.

Birth of my son Stefan was no distraction: Novak Djokovic
Paris: Serb Novak Djokovic will try to defend his title as well as the world No 1 spot against Swiss Roger Federer and other world-class tennis players at the BNP Paribas Masters starting Monday night amid the joy of becoming a father.
Novak Djokovic
"It wasn't a distraction to my career and to my tennis. In contrary, I was very much looking forward to becoming a parent and living this joyful moment together," the top-seeded Serbian said.
Djokovic's wife Jelena gave birth to a baby boy named Stefan last week and the 27-year-old star responded at twitter, calling it "our baby angel." "It happened almost a week ago," he told the press here.
"Luckily I was there and it didn't interfere with my tennis schedule. It was the most beautiful thing that ever happened in my life and her life, definitely." Djokovic has no plan of taking time off.
"I will try to have my family travel with me as much as they can, obviously. For me, it's important to participate in my child's life as much as I can, in his development, in his growing up."

15,16,17 -03- 2012 Baccanalia (roman calendar)
. He is a god of epiphany, "the god that comes", and his "foreignness" as an arriving outsider-god may be inherent and essential to his
cults. He is a major, popular figure of Greek mythology and religion, and is included in some lists of the twelve Olympians. His festivals were the driving force behind the development of Greek theater. He is an example of a dying god.
The earliest cult images of Dionysus show a mature male, bearded and robed. He holds a fennel staff, tipped with a pine-cone and known as a thyrsus. Later images show him as a beardless, sensuous, naked or half-naked androgynous youth: the literature describes him as womanly or "man-womanish".[8] In its fully developed form, his central cult imagery shows his triumphant, disorderly arrival or return, as if from some place beyond the borders of the known and civilized. His procession (thiasus) is made up of wild female followers (maenads) and ithyphallic, bearded satyrs. Some are armed with the thyrsus, some dance or play music. The god himself is drawn in a chariot, usually by exotic beasts such as lions or tigers, and is sometimes attended by a bearded, drunken Silenus. This procession is presumed to be the cult model for the human followers of his Dionysian Mysteries. In his Thracian mysteries, he wears the bassaris or fox-skin, symbolizing a new life. Dionysus is represented by city religions as the protector of those who do not belong to conventional society and thus symbolizes everything which is chaotic, dangerous and unexpected, everything which escapes human reason and which can only be attributed to the unforeseeable action of the gods." from WIKIPEDIA

Siliguri, July 26: A 20-year-old tusker was found dead on the banks of the Tangrajhora, a stream in Dhumchigara-Nepali Bustee area in the Gajaldoba beat of the Targhera range in the Baikunthapur forest division in Jalpaiguri.
Prima facie, it died when it came in contact with a fence, illegally connected to a high-tension wire, around 11 last night, said forest officials, who rushed to the spot today. They have lodged a complaint at Malbazar police station, mentioning that if anyone was found guilty, strict steps would be taken against him.
This is the second time that an elephant has been killed in this manner over the past one month. The first incident occurred at Kalabari in Naxalbari, Darjeeling. Both the elephants died when they touched electrified fences as they trampled across villages. 'It is definitely an ominous trend where people have turned desperate to protect their lives and property,' said Animesh Bose, an environmentalist of north Bengal.
'When villagers have necessary paraphernalia like, searchlights and crackers to stop elephants from entering the villages or to drive them out, they have no reason to use electrified fences to ward the animals off,' said M.R. Baluch, the conservator of forests, northern circle.
'The elephant is a Schedule-1 animal. If the medical report reaffirms our apprehension, we will again approach the police to take steps against those responsible for tapping electricity and killing a wild animal by electrocution,' Baluch said.
Ananta Roy, the state forest minister, told The Telegraph: 'I have told my officials to take legal steps against the guilty.'
