Glitzy malls, swanky apartments, eye catching skyscrapers characterize the city of Gurgaon which is situated in the Gurgaon district of the north Indian state of Haryana. It is one of Delhi`s four major satellite cities. Gurgaon is basically a commercial and business city and the hub of many multinational companies. Strategically located, the National Highway linking Mumbai and Delhi via Jaipur passes through this city. The nearest access point is the airport at Palam, which is located at a distance of 17 km. from Gurgaon. The railway station is located at the extreme corner of the city, which connects Rewari on one side and Delhi Cantonment on the other. Geographically, the town is located between 28.47° North latitude and 77.03° East longitude at a height of 220 metres (721 feet) above mean sea level.
In Hindu mythology it is believed that Gurgaon was the ancestral village of Guru Dronacharya, guru of the Pandavas and Kauravas in the Indian epic of Mahabharata. The name was given in this context where Guru refers to Dronacharya and `gaon` the village. Gurgaon was initially the part of the North Western Provinces but in 1861 it was transferred to Punjab.

Camping equipment like beds, Chairs, central tables, lights, stoves etc are available at the site, on hire at reasonable rates. To facilitate bird watching, there are observation hides and watch tower.
The tiny town with pretty name, Sohna is credited with sulphur springs. This is situated in the heart of the town by the side of a perpendicular rock and is approachable only by foot through narrow lanes which are inaccessible to vehicles. The water is strongly sulphurous and its temperature varies from 46° C to 51.7C. ° The present site of main kund, called Shiv Kund, is believed to have been the abode of hermits during ancient times. The hot water is believed to have curative effect for skin infections and diseases like gout and rheumatism. Hindus consider the tank sacred and come for a dip in its water on solar/lunar eclipse and Somavati Amavasya. The complex is studded with an extravagance of colourful flowers, trees and shrubs. Its vast landscape, with peacocks strutting about, grips one with all its beauty and splendor. Sohna by night becomes a wonderland of lights, simply bewitching.
Named after the Indian popular bird, the Shama Tourist Complex at Gurgaon is located in the heart of the town. It is about 0.5 km away from Gurgaon Bus stand and near to General Hospital of Gurgaon.

Lower rail fare cap announced
2:40pm Wednesday 9th October 2013 in News By Will Lodge, Senior reporter
RAIL fares may not rise as sharply as expected next year after a lower price cap was announced by the Government.
Previously train operators could raise some ticket prices by as much as five per cent above inflation, as long as the average fare hike was only one percent.
However the Department for Transport announced today the overall cap will be reduced to two per cent.
The average price hike cap of one per cent above inflation remains, meaning an expected increase in season ticket prices of 4.1 per cent due from January 1 2014 is unaffected by the announcement.

Year in jail for ex-Salem ZBA chairman for selling oxycodone
Ronald Giordano, 54, began serving a 12 month county jail term after pleading guilty to felony drug charges on Thursday in Rockingham County Superior Court. Giordano was the Zoning Board of Adjustment chairman at the time of his arrest. (COURTESY)
Ronald Giordano, 54, pleaded guilty to three counts of sale of a controlled drug and conspiracy to sell a controlled drug. He sold roughly 140 pills to an informant under surveillance of Salem police during a three week period.
Giordano offered no public statements during the brief hearing on Thursday morning in superior court. Instead, he handed a letter to Judge N. William Delker before being led out of the courtroom by a sheriff deputy to begin his sentence.
"I hope this sentence that I am imposing in this case sets you back on what looked like a very productive and promising path you were on," Delker told Giordano after reading the note. "Sadly, you have seemed to have stepped off that path. Hopefully, after you serve your sentence, you will return to a productive path of society."
The former town official faced up to 20 years in prison and a $300,000 fine had he been convicted on all charges at trial.
Giordano will be eligible for work release. He was given an additional five- to 10-year suspended prison sentence on one of the drug convictions.
Giordano's arrest by Salem police in December 2011 upended his career in town politics, grounding a return to public office after a term as a state representative in 2005 ended with a lawsuit alleging he sexually harassed a House employee.
That lawsuit was ultimately settled with the House agreeing to pay $85,000 to a committee secretary.
Giordano went on to successfully spearhead an effort to make Salem's zoning and planning boards elected positions, ending years of the seats being appointed by selectmen.
At the time of his arrest, he was serving as the ZBA chairman, a post he promptly resigned from once criminal charges came to light.
Assistant County Attorney Karen Springer told Delker that Giordano's drug case was not his first brush with the law.
He has a larceny conviction from 1978, which earned him a three-month jail stint; a 1978 conviction for defrauding government funds; a 1984 larceny conviction – all in Massachusetts; a 1985 federal firearms conviction in Texas and a possession of a controlled drug case in New York from 1988, according to Springer.
He pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor in the earlier drug case in 1991, she said.
Giordano also was ordered to participate in drug and alcohol treatment and counseling. He will be placed on probation for two years upon his release.
Delker warned Giordano that if he violates that terms of his probation in the next two years, he could face up to the maximum 20-year state prison sentence.

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) - Attorneys for Texas Tech University on Tuesday, filed motions to dismiss the lawsuit filed by former football coach Mike Leach. This comes after Leach and his attorneys filed their sixth amendment to the lawsuit against the university and four TTU employees.
According to a news release from Texas Tech University, Tuesday's motions from Tech include additional information that "further validates" Texas Tech's position.
"This information leaves no doubt that what we have been saying over the past four months is true: Coach Leach's case has no merit, either factually or legally," said university attorney Dicky Grigg.
Among the new information is an affidavit from Dr. Robert Cantu, one of the nation's leading neurological surgeons who has served as an expert to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and the NFL's concussion committee. After reviewing the evidence in the case, Dr. Cantu found that the student athlete had sustained a concussion, and that, in his expert medical opinion, Leach's actions "constituted totally inappropriate management and care for a concussion" and called the mistreatment of this athlete "unconscionable."
Dr. Cantu went on to say, "I am troubled to think of the extremely negative effect that this humiliating treatment of Adam James by Coach Leach most probably had on other members of the football team. The treatment of Adam James would have a chilling effect on teammates reporting their own concussion symptoms and in my opinion was an entirely inappropriate message to send to these student athletes."
The motions also include new affidavits by football trainers Steve Pincock and Buzz Chisum. In those statements, Leach told Chisum that the student's concussion was "a bunch of (expletive) (expletive)." In a staff meeting around the time the student was diagnosed, Leach told Pincock to "tell the doctors that we don't have any more concussions around here."
"Look at Dr. Cantu's statement and the additional information from the team trainers," said Grigg. "It is obvious that this is no way to treat a student athlete with a concussion – regardless of a coach's opinion of the player's attitude or ability."
As to Leach's claims of conspiracy – Grigg said nobody in the administration wanted to terminate Coach Leach.
"Kent Hance, Guy Bailey and Gerald Myers repeatedly tried to get Coach Leach to address the issue constructively in order to move forward, but he refused," said Grigg. "What Leach did was too wrong to ignore. His mistreatment of a player was – as Dr. Cantu said – unconscionable. Despite the numerous efforts of the administration, Leach refused to take responsibility for his actions and refused to work toward resolving the situation."

The case focuses on the specific issues relating to Korea and LG Electronics, one of the leading consumer electronics manufacturers in the world. It follows the fortunes of LG Electronics, a company that started as a contract manufacturer supplying OEM contracts to a variety of Japanese and U.S. appliance makers. It entered the U.S. market under its Goldstar label fairly early, and quickly realized that it needed to hone important skills of product differentiation, brand positioning, design, and innovation in order to succeed. Given the huge obstacle that this steep learning curve represented, LGE turned to emerging markets as a means of building credibility outside Korea. It charted a systematic strategy that encompassed a range of elements such as locally adapted designs, localized manufacturing, rural distribution, and cultural marketing that resonated very well with emerging market consumers. It had soon built a formidable position across all the BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia, India, and China). Turning its sights once again to the developed countries, it contemplated how it could take some of the lessons it had learned in the developing world to kickstart its developed country strategy into high gear.

The Buccaneers are among the top five teams expected to actively participate in free agent aquisitions this off season. Every team in the league does, but like the Bucs last year, expectations are high. Mark Dominik can't sign a guy like Charles Woodson to the Bucs roster. Here's why.
Charles Woodson is going to demand $10 million dollars for the 2013 year. He has only one year guarenteed in the tank. Woodson's agent may likely push for a 2 year deal, but if the Bucs were to go the Woodson route, they would have to select a safety in this years draft to follow in his footsteps for the future. While it is my belief they still will draft a prospect, spending $10 million dollars on the position is too much. Charles Woodson fills a need at ONE position out of ELEVEN. He is talented and experienced but there is another avenue that fills more than one defensive postion, without the drafting of multiple men.
Trading a first round pick for a player from another team is the equivelent to simply drafting that player, outside of the players contract. I suggest making Darrelle Revis the highest paid defensive player in NFL history, and doing so by trading New York our first round draft pick. Now since I realize this idea is going to be met with opposition, let me explain very simply how aquiring Revis would fill more than one defensive position.
Last year, we had a top 3 run defense. Scheme wise, Coach Schiano focused greatly on stopping the run and Lavonte David was spectacular. Therefore, stacking seven in the box aloud the Bucs to effectively prevent running backs from entering the secondary. But with that in mind, the secondary couldn't figure out how to stop opposing recievers, shown in our 32nd ranked pass defense. I'm suggesting we maintain our run defense and stack the box. Revis will effectively eliminate the number one reciever of any offense. Therefore, the remaining three defensive backs can focus on the remaining TE and WR. The numbers would be in our favor for both run and pass defense. Revis Island can take an entire side of the field away. If our underperforming secondary from last year was always playing with a shortend field, then 32 becomes 18. If we draft a safety then in round two, 18 can be 13. Realistically, with the number 1 run defense, all we need is a top 15 pass defense to be feared.
Revis wants reportedly just north of Mario Williams 6 year, $96 million deal. Tampa Bay will lock up number one recievers and running backs for the next decade.

A 17-year-old will go to trial on charges he stabbed a fellow student at J.H. Rose High School.
A grand jury indicted Johnavan Spell Monday on several charges, including attempted first-degree murder.
Police say Spell used a 12-inch butcher knife to stab a classmate in the neck in the hallway at school.
Investigators say the attack was retaliation and gang-related.
--- Previous Story ---
The stabbing at J.H. Rose High School was all caught on tape.
At a bond hearing Thursday, the Pitt County District Attorney revealed she has seen surveillance video that shows 17-year-old Johnavan Spell stab his classmate, Daekwon Daniels.
Robb showed the video on a laptop to the judge and Spell's defense attorneys in court. But she says it is considered evidence in the case and is not available to the media right now.
However, Robb described what happens in the video for 9 On Your Side. She said Spell came to school with a knife and hid it beneath his jacket. She says he wandered the halls to find his target, then put on black gloves before lunging at Daniels with a 12-inch butcher knife. She says he then threw the knife in a school trash can, where police later found it.
Spell is charged with attempted first degree murder, but told a judge at his first court appearance on Wednesday he was not trying to kill Daniels.
Robb thinks otherwise, and says Spell could have severed Daniels' spinal cord or worse, killed him.
The judge lowered Spell's bond to $175,000 with house arrest. But at last check, he was still in jail. He is scheduled to go before a grand jury on Feb. 25.

The high school student charged with trying to kill his classmate with a foot-long butcher knife got his bond reduced.
9 On Your Side was in the courtroom.
Pitt County District Attorney Kimberly Robb dropped Johnavan Spell's half-million-dollar bond to $175,000 with house arrest.
Police say Spell's attack in the hallway of J.H. Rose High School Monday is gang-related retaliation.
In an exclusive interview with Spell's mother she told 9 On Your Side her son's a good boy, who's just confused.
--- Previous Story ---
The mother of a teenager charged with attempted first degree murder speaks out for the first time.
This morning at the Pitt County Detention Center, 9 On Your Side talked with the mother of Johnavan Spell, the J.H. Rose student accused of stabbing another student in the neck with a knife at school on Monday.
Andrea Spell described him as her "best child" and a "loner" who plays the drums in church every Sunday. She says he's a "good boy" who has "never hurt anybody."
"My son is not a fighter," she said. "He's not a thief. He's never been in trouble in his life."
Johnavan had his first hearing at the detention center court room Wednesday morning. Judge Gwyn Hilburn presided.
Judge Hilburn listed off Johnavan's charges, including attempted first degree murder, carrying a concealed weapon, possession of a weapon on education property and violation of electronic monitoring.
Johnavan then asked Judge Hilburn if he could speak. He said he believed assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury and attempted first degree murder were such similar charges, he wanted to know why he couldn't be released from jail on electronic monitoring again.
"It wasn't my intent to kill him," he added before Judge Hilburn asked him to refrain from talking about the case until his next hearing.
"It hurts," his mom said. "He's confused. You can tell when somebody's never been locked up before. He's confused. He don't know what to say, what to ask."
Johnavan's mother says she plans to hire an attorney to represent her son.
Johnavan remains in jail under a $500,000 bond. A hearing for him is scheduled for Thursday morning with Judge David Leech. His court date is set for Feb. 28.
9 On Your Side also talked with victim Daekwon Daniels' mother off-camera today. She told us, "This is a horrible situation for both families."
She added that her son is doing okay now and says, "I'm not mad, I just feel blessed he's alive."
Both mothers deny their sons' involvement in any type of gang-related activity.
--- Previous Story ---
A high school student is now facing upgraded charges of attempted first degree murder.
Police say 17-year-old Johnavon Spell attacked another student with a 12-inch butcher knife to the neck in a crowded hallway. It all happened Monday morning at J.H. Rose High School in Greenville.
Police believe it was gang-related retaliation after the two teens had a fight over the weekend.
The arrest warrant names the victim as Daekwon Daniels, who Principal Charlie Langley says was released from the hospital and is expected to be okay.
Spell posted a $25,000 bond Monday afternoon for lesser charges of assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury. But he is now back in jail under a $500,000 bond.
His first court appearance is scheduled for Wednesday.
--- Previous Story ---
A 12-inch butcher knife, that's what police say a teenager used to stab a fellow student in the neck in a crowded school hallway.
Police say the motive was gang-related retaliation.
Police say they cannot confirm whether the victim, Daekwon Daniels, or Johnavan Spell, the teen police say stabbed Daniels, are validated gang members. They just suspect the teens might have been affiliating people who are gang members.
And while the threat of your child getting involved with a gang might seem far-fetched, there are 18 known gangs in Pitt County alone, with about 150 validated members and 650 gangs state-wide.
Sgt. Joe Friday of the Greenville Police Department says gangs must continually recruit to survive.
"You do see more and more people because older people either go to jail, they die, it's a short-lived experience," said Friday. "In order for the organization to exist, they have to bring in new people, it's basically like a pyramid scheme."
Friday says peer pressure, failing grades, and tough financial situations are just a few factors that can put your kids at risk.
"Young people who join gangs are looking for acceptance, are looking to be loved, looking for a family," Friday says.
9 On Your Side asked him if it's the responsibility of the parents to know where their children are at all times.
"I think a good bit of it depends on the family structure and the parents," Friday responded. "The government, the police departments, and all these programs, they can't raise children for or replace a family."
So, what should you be doing to protect your children?
Juvenile Court Counselor Supervisor Brian Stewart says positive activities and good role models are key.
"You hope that's going to kind of off-set the negative behaviors and the negative folks out there that are influencing the young people to make poor choices," Stewart says.
Adds Friday, "When it comes down to choices, they've got to make the right decisions. We can support them, we can do things to try to help them, but the choice is still theirs."
---- Original Story ---
Police say the stabbing went down Monday in a hallway full of students, right in front of school resource officers.
They believe Spell was retaliating after a fight with another student over the weekend that was gang-related.
School resource officers were just feet away from the teenager and were able to restrain him immediately. And while police would not give us the victim's name, they told 9 On Your Side he went to the hospital and has since been released.
School leaders say it's an isolated incident and no other students were harmed. But 9 On Your Side talked with one senior who said it was unsettling.
"It's scary to know that if you have a disagreement or argue with someone in school, that it could go as far as to be physically stabbed," said William Underwood, a J.H. Rose senior. "It's just scary. It's scary to think about."
The school never went on lock-down and administrators say there was no disruption to the rest of the school day.
9 On Your Side asked Principal Charlie Langley if he thinks he is doing enough to keep your children safe.
"We do all we can do with the resources we have," he says. "Our big mantra is if you see something, say something. So kids are our best information for any kind of problems. But this happened so quickly this morning, there was no chance to prevent it in any way, shape or form. Our biggest fear is things coming from the neighborhood. This kind of stuff doesn't happen on school property very often."
Langley says he does not believe metal detectors would be effective at preventing incidents like this in the future.
"It's not a functional thing," he says. "It limits what you can do in schools. You've got 1500 kids they'd have to come and go through one door. It would be very restraining on what we do. I don't know if it would make them any safer and I don't know that it would make them feel any safer."
Spell posted a $25,000 bond on Monday afternoon.

Janaka Foundation
The Janaka Foundation is a non-profit foundation dedicated to the support of Ananda, with a focus on estate planning. Janaka's flower "mark" was an existing asset, and so the design of this logo was a refresh with a new type treatment. The direction was for the logo to look professional and welcoming.
The Expanding Light Angel Campaign
This logo is for a fundraising effort for the The Expanding Light. Jyotish had the concept for this campaign, and did a pencil sketch of angel wings with the joy logo between the wings. The final logo is a full expression of Jyotish's concept.
The Joy Singers
The Joy Singers are a group of four Yogananda devotees who are dedicated to spreading the music of Yogananda and Swami Kriyananda. They asked for a logo that would be friendly, uplifting, and joyful. They use this logo on t-shirts as well as on their website, so we had to choose something simple but versatile.
Ananda Center at Laurelwood
This logo is an adaptation of the home page header on the site for Ananda Center at Laurelwood (anandalaurelwood.org). Laurelwood is a rural retreat center and college campus, so the use of the tree with leaves blowing over the name speaks to the blend of nature, upliftment, and education that is part of their mission.
Meditation Bench.com
Meditation Bench.com is an Ananda family-owned business, selling meditation benches, cushions, and many other meditation supplies online. Krishnabai Kretzmann, the daughter of the owner, presented a pencil sketch of a lotus and a person sitting in meditation. The resulting logo is a color graphic representation of the sketch, with an accompanying type treatment.
Dwapara Yoga
Dwapara Yoga is a yoga & meditation studio in Hawaii that focuses on the teachings of Yogananda. The owner wanted a modern logo that would work on signage as well as on the web, and one that reflected ancient yogic teachings.
Sharing Nature Worldwide
Sharing Nature's tagline is "Experimental Nature Activities to Uplift and Inspire." This client requested a flying swan, based on a previous logo.
Foundation for a New Tomorrow
The Foundation for a New Tomorrow is an organization with a mission to raise financial support for several non-secular Ananda organizations, initially Sharing Nature and Education for Life. The logo is based on the ancient "flower of life" symbol.
Education for Life
The four spirals in this logo represent the outward flowing energy of the four aspects of Education for Life: body, feeling, will, and intellect.
Inspiration Tutoring
This logo was created for a private tutor who uses the Education for Life principles. He wanted a clean logo with naturalistic colors.

It's a scene I'd seen many times before (and that's not a crack at the player involved, though the frequency of these calls is perking my fan sensibility): Atlanta Thrashers forward Rich Peverly had his stick caught in the body of San Jose Sharks forward Devin Setoguchi; Setoguchi's arms flail up like he's just been asked if anyone wants a free pony ride and he soon hits the ice. The call? Two minutes for hooking on Peverly and two minutes for diving on Setoguchi.
Sharks broadcaster Drew Remenda commented that it's a call he still doesn't understand; it's either a hook or a dive, it can't be both.
And for a while, I agreed with that sentiment. But lately, I'm starting to go the other way and support the idea of calling matching minors on the play. Here's what the official NHL rulebook says on diving:
64.1 Diving / Embellishment – Any player who blatantly dives, embellishes a fall or a reaction, or who feigns an injury shall be penalized with a minor penalty under this rule.
64.3 Fines and Suspensions - Regardless if a minor penalty for diving / embellishment is called, Hockey Operations will review game videos and assess fines to players or goalkeepers who dive or embellish a fall or a reaction, or who feign injury. See also Rule 28 – Supplementary Discipline. The call on the ice by the Referee is totally independent of supplementary discipline.
The first such incident during the season will result in a warning letter being sent to the player or goalkeeper. The second such incident will result in a one thousand dollar ($1,000) fine. For a third such incident in the season, the player shall be suspended for one game, pending a telephone conversation with the Director of Hockey Operations. For subsequent violations in the same season, the player's suspension shall double (i.e. first suspension – one game, second suspension – two games, third suspension – four games, etc.) See also Rule 28 – Supplementary Discipline.
I know plenty of people agree with Remenda but a closer examination of the rule makes one thing clear: it's purely talking about the player who dives and has absolutely nothing to do with the infraction done to him.
(Apologies for not having video of this. I'm pretty sure embedded game highlights are only hits, saves, and goals, not hooking penalties. If you know how to get this otherwise, let me know in the comments.)
So in the case of Peverly and Setoguchi, you've got two separate but simultaneous infractions. First, Peverly's stickwork leads to a hooking call. Second, and independent of that, Setoguchi flails in embellishment.
First off, I think we all agree that Mike Ribiero antics of feigning injury like the world's most overacting soccer playerr are out of bounds and just don't belong in the game. This type of flopping, though, is a little more difficult to ascertain in real time. Pro athletes will do anything to get an edge. If a subtle -- or not so subtle -- bit of theatrics grabs the ref's attention so that they don't miss the call, then you're going to see this happen. To me, the logic lies in the separation of the infractions. If they don't call the second diving penalty, then that's just going to reinforce that diving in this fashion is acceptable -- or even necessary to get the call. However, by making the call on the dive, the refs are telling the players as a whole that they'll get the first penalty, there's no need to do the extra antics.
The next time you see something like this happen, take a step back and don't think of both penalties as connected. Instead, look at what player A did -- was it hooking/tripping/holding/etc.? If yes, then that's a penalty and the refs got it right. Separate from that, did Player B dress up what happened by flailing all over the ice? If yes, then that's diving.
No one wants diving in the game, and the only way to try and minimize it is to call it whenever it happens -- whether it's related to another penalty or not. Until someone comes up with a better solution, I'm willing to accept this.

Exercised Induced Collapse – EIC
Also know as EIC.
"This inherited disease is common in Labrador Retrievers, but is also found in other breeds, including Curly-Coated and Chesapeake Bay Retrievers, Boykin Spaniels, German Wirehaired Pointers, Old English Sheepdogs, Cocker Spaniels and Pembroke Welsh Corgis."
This disease was seen in working dogs; American/Field bred Labs years ago but no one knew what it was.
It is now being seen in English/Bench bred Labs.
The dog will be working in the field or doing many retrieves and it suddenly (5-20 minutes of work) has a breakdown. The back end collapses and the dog will try to keep moving dragging the back legs.
The dog recuperates quickly with no side effects. Many people who don't know about this genetic disease think their dog is suffering from heat stroke, which can exhibit similar symptoms.
We now have a genetic test for Labradors which can be done thru the U of Minnesota.
If a dog is a "carrier" it must be bred to a "clear" dog to prevent pups from being "effected" by this disease.
The test can be done by blood draw or a cheek swab (both must be done by a vet) and the samples are sent into the U of MN for results. The cost from MN is only $65 on top of your vet charge for taking the sample by either means.
Here is the link to find out more about the testing and what breeds there is a genetic test for.

Sept 11th, 2001. A beautiful, sunny autumn morning, the kind of day I love. I was traveling to work on Wall St on the #1 subway. We stopped at Park Place, the stop before WTC and some people got on, muttering about a plane hitting one of the buildings. A woman, whom I will never forget, put her hand up in front of me, showing me how she was shaking. Did not say a word, just starred at me.
I thought this was an overreaction, some single engine pilot had made a mistake and flew into one of the WTC buildings. I said to myself "people get hysterical all the time, they love drama."
I could not have been more wrong. What followed was a nightmare that will never end.
When I arrived at work, I heard the same story. Being a workaholic, I went right to work, ignoring all the hubbub.
Then the second plane hit. I knew this was serious now but still kept working. I turned around to look at one of my friends behind me. He was the joker of the crew, nothing bothered him. All the blood had gone from his face, he looked frightened and stone faced. Another look I will never forget.
But me, I still kept working. Then the first building fell and I stopped working. Then the second. I was at the window, up on the 21st floor of my building on Wall. The sky turned to night, a huge dust storm chasing people down Wall St. They ran as if in some unreal horror movie. It was pitch black outside.
We mulled around for a while, then were gathered on a lower floor. Someone said "Who could have done this?". I knew it was Al Queda, had to be. Nobody else is so full of hate to do such a thing.
We were kept in the building until about noon. I left with a friend of mine who had relatives in Chinatown. There were no masks so we all breathed in the foul, dust filled air as we walked. Papers from the buildings were scattered all over South St, about 1/2 mile from the site.
I managed to get home safe later that day, living outside NYC. Had to return a few days later to work again. Life does not stop, it does not care how you feel. Life moves on and you have to move with it.
I put my shoes in the closet in a bag but cleaned them of the dust a few days later. Somehow, I have never forgiven myself for that. In my mind, it was the dust of the people who had died. I was washing them away which I wish I had never done. I will not forget them.
I knew people that died that day. Two of my neighbors never came back. We see their families often though nobody speaks about what happened. You can read it in their faces though, it never really leaves them. I was lucky though. I would have been in the direct hit area at noon that day but the attacks happened before I could get there.
So today, remember all the innocent people, all the FD and PD people, all the first responders who died as a result of the actions of a few hateful, crazy people who killed because we are not them.
Keep life in perspective, you are still here. Those who perished are not. If the Giants don't play well, don't take it out on your family. Just be happy that you are with them, there will be another game, another time to celebrate.
Do some act of kindness in thanks, make things a little better for someone. Kiss your kids, your spouse, your dog. Be thankful you are alive and remember the departed and their families who are without them forever.

OK, so there's Tapscott's explanation: Players have to earn their time on the court. If they lack experience and get caught too often out of position, then they're gonna get limited playing time.
Then there's cuppettcj's explanation (hope I get this right, sorry if I don't): Grunfeld's planning on trading McGee who's trade value is based on his incredible upside and not on anything he does on the court this season, so it's better to keep him healthy on the bench.
Now I personally think the Wizards want to keep McGee because they should want to keep him. Trading him would be a big mistake unless a can't-miss-blockbuster trade comes around, and I just doubt anything quite that good will be available. The Wizards have enough young talent or solid veterans to trade along with a lottery pick so if Grunfeld wants to make a big splash than I don't think he needs to trade a player who could in the long run be the one that finally makes this team a contender.
So finally another theory (this probably isn't original): McGee is going to be a reserve behind Haywood again next year. Limiting his playing time this year means there's no controversy next year. It also means that if McGee's development is more gradual but steady rather than rapid, yet inconsistent, then when it comes time to sign McGee to another contract perhaps the Wizards can get him for something a little more modest? Certainly his statistics wouldn't be quite as impressive, but the Wizards might think in the long run McGee's development might benefit just as much.

History / Inspiration
Consider the long history of Oakland. A city on the edge of the known universe, last stop before the ocean. Think about what those early Oaklanders must have felt like. Every one of them from somewhere else, here to work in some way to build a whole new city. On a particularly spectacular piece of land quite conveniently located inside one of the world's greatest seaports.
They had to have been brave to leave their hometowns for this new boomtown. They must have felt proud to be a part of this incredible experiment being created in the still new state of California. They must have felt lucky to have made it here, and they must have gotten stuck. Stuck maybe on the natural beauty, the opportunities to make a living, the friendly weather, or the exciting diversity. Surely they knew that the chance to live in a brand new city in the oak land meant they had to strive to make it worthy of this fortunate positioning. Maybe it didn't happen like that. Maybe those people didn't feel like that, but we do.

Just a bit of quick Model Teamy fun. And more camo.
About this creation
The front, Chevy inspired. The massive brush guard and 20 some fog lights are a common necessity.
The side view, with both exhaust stacks AND side exhausts. And fender flares to accommodate duallies. Of course, this doesn't have duallies, but that's no reason to rid the truck of fender flares.
The back, with no tailgate and a cannon. Ironically this is the most authentic part of the whole truck. Why just yesterday I was walking through a parking lot and some guy had half a riding lawn mower in the back of his truck. Just half, mind you. As a whole riding mower is quite a luxury and there's no need to brag. =/
The V8. Even though a good V8 can get you over 230+ mph, most Americans still insist we need them for everyday use.
Action shots! Look at that torsion bar power!
More action shots! Look at that bendy-front-axle-that-isn't-actually-supposed-to-bend power!
Americial view.
In an effort to get out of my normal routine, rather than tilting the camera for this photo I tilted the world a bit. Hope nobody noticed.
Angry cannon view. Pew-pew-pew! No wait, thats lasers...
And now, dearest visitor, I must bid you farewell, for I have no more MOCs to show you today. And whilst Moctober may have started spreading across the pages like a Nyan cat on a rainbow, I have no more Moctobery goodness as of today.

I can't believe you put a cannon in your trunk - there's a terrible joke in there somewhere. On a sensible note, I can't believe how many great vehicles you turn out, and every one of them a winner. I reckon you build even more than I do.

Heck yah! All Americans should have one of these in their driveway. Even if they can't afford the fuel to drive it. It makes a very nice addition to a house. I see only one thing you missed. It needs a winch :D Then your in business! Very good video on America's toughest truck -->
Nice to see all these Mocs from you. Keep this up! :)

text: Team Basics 8. Team Creativity Team Creativity - The Traffic Team Example In 1983, the management team of a large organization was struggling with a severe traffic problem on the road leading to their location. The road crossed four miles of protected wetlands, so it could not be widened without significant environmental impact. Each morning the traffic leading to the site was backing up the entire four-mile length of the road, adding an hour to commuting time. The resulting aggravation caused productivity to drop significantly. Three years earlier the management team had hired traffic consultants to solve the problem. Their work focused on a future widening of the road and looked promising, but their attempts to devise short-term solutions failed miserably. As a last resort, management decided to assemble a team of people from the company to address short-term solutions. The ten-person team was comprised of engineers, clerical personnel, line workers, and union representatives. This team met twice a week for a month, culminating in a series of recommendations that ultimately improved the traffic flow both into and out of the site. The simplicity of the team's recommendations surprised management. For example, in one recommendation the team suggested that trucks making deliveries to the site be prohibited from doing so between the hours of 6:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. Since there were many deliveries to the site at this time, this recommendation immediately removed some of the slowest, most cumbersome traffic clogging the road. Additional recommendations were also made that similarly contributed to easing the problem. The result was almost instantaneous improvement in the traffic flow. At the outset, management had doubted that this team could solve the problem. After all, experts had been studying it for three years. But in turning to their own people they found a solution, and in so doing, they tapped into the essence of team creativity. Innovation has no bounds, and when it is combined with a process of collaboration that multiplies its effect, it has great power. 1.Types of Teams 2.Stages of Group Dev. 3.Tasks and Team Building 4.Team Motivation 5.Team Empowerment 6.The Team Facilitator 7.The Team Meeting 8.Team Creativity 9.Continuous Improvement 10.Team Tools Enjoy our Blog.

Hi Doves,The 29th of November 2010, is just about 4 weeks from Christmas Day.This, I believe, is the reason why Peg and Becki had dreams of their loved ones which revealed the rapture will occur close to Christmas Day.Ola.
Peg Fenn had a dream in 2000, 7 Years after her husband went home to be with the Lord.It appears that her husband is expecting her to be with him on a Christmas Day.Peg Fenn writes:"Walking up a very steep hill. The sky is very blue, no sun but it is very bright.As I reached the top of the hill. There is a brick fronted greenhouse.Its small panes are steamed up and as I approached to look inside. I could see rows and rows of reds, whites and yellows.All Christmas plants whose leaves were a beautiful shiny
waxy green.I could see Poinsettias in all colours, Christmas cactuses, roses, lilies and begonias, amaryllis and hyacinths.The steam was coming from an overhead steamer in the nursery spraying the plants with a steady stream and helping to keep them fresh.The small droplets on these windows and on the plants were all covered in rainbow colours.A Christmas greenhouse!!As I walked around to the side of it (I remember my husband saying before he died that he would build me one but never did.)There was a door and I realised that this really was a house with an attached greenhouse.The door opened and my husband was standing there smiling.
He was very young, looked to be around 33 or 34 and said,"This is the greenhouse and house I promised you".In the Year 2007, Becki had the following dream,She writes,"I would like to tell you all about a dream that I had in 2007.
It may just be only a dream, but it seemed so real to me.
In March of 2007 my sister past away. Oh, how I missed her so much. We were very close. We saw each other almost everyday or we would talk on the phone. She was 40 when she passed away.
After she died, I had prayed and prayed to the Lord to please let me have a dream about her because I missed her so much. After a couple of months I got my dream.
In my dream I was so happy to see her. We were walking down a road and she wanted to show me a store. The name of the store was "Temple Mount Gift Shop". Inside the store was thousands of bicycles. They were everywhere. You could hardly move around the shop for all the bicycles. They were even hanging from the ceiling. I ask her why is there so many bicycles, and she told me that there would be lots and lots of kids here for Christmas.
Well, I just knew that the rapture was going to be Christmas of 2007. I have wondered if maybe the Lord was letting me know the season that the rapture would happen. After pondering about this dream, she didn't say this Christmas (2007) she just said Christmas. I am hoping it will be 2009!!!!!!!!!!
This might of been just a dream. But, it is a dream that I will never forget. It was so vivid and in colour. I usually don't dream or don't remember my dreams. I haven't had a dream about her since.
Just wanted to share it with you all."

The lost city of Atlantis is rumored to contain vast treasures, though glow-in-the-dark mini golf isn't one of them. But at Play Atlantis, a nine-hole indoor course unfolds among Atlantis-themed murals and 3-D props depicting underwater figures, such as Poseidon and sharks. The course winds though an atmosphere of black lights and upbeat background music, which also surround the fun center's multilevel laser tag arena. There, inside labyrinthine corridors, laser fire and neon lights pierce through thick clouds of fog imported from London.
Natural lighting replaces black lights at Play Atlantis's other attractions. The inflatable area's custom bounce houses, slides, and obstacle courses give kids space to hop around, crawl, and explore among the inflatable castles and coliseums. Outside, families can zip around the go-kart track or participate in some friendly competition on Play Atlantis's 18-hole mini-golf course.
Although the Detroit location of Las Cazuelas Grill is housed in the same building as a BP gas station, the cuisine was never meant to be road food. Maria Cristina Aldana began by learning her husband's recipes for iconic Mexican dishes and she named her restaurant after the traditional terracotta dishes used in Hispanic kitchens. These home-style touches demonstrate Maria's commitment to creating familiar, satisfying meals. She makes grilled steak, marinated pork, and chicken mainstays throughout the menu, and she uses them in everything from tacos and burritos to tortas and quesadillas. Three salsas can add a fresh dose of spice to any meal, and diners can customize their tacos by ordering them with corn, flour, or a taxpayer identification number spelled out in tomatoes. Those looking seeking a sit-down dining experience can visit the Melvindale location and savor Maria Cristina's same authentic Mexican recipes.
The City of Melvindale's Civic Ice Arena is home to two rinks of ice for skaters to glide across during figure skating classes, hockey leagues, or open skate sessions. Novices can get their start toward bladed glory through a Learn to Skate class, wherein a skilled and patient instructor breaks down the activity's basic techniques for eager students. With entry-level skills firmly in their grasp, the skaters can enroll in a hockey league for adults or youth in order to add the skills of checking, scoring, and dodging hurled octopi to their repertoire.

The diver double-checks all her gear before leaving the surefootedness of the boat and falling into the deep water, where she explores shipwrecks and seemingly untouched expanses throughout the Michigan Underwater Preserves in the Great Lakes. The team of PADI- and SSI-certified instructors at Scuba Centers of Michigan helps students prepare for these types of adventures every day, covering advanced topics such as diving at night and how to properly greet a sturgeon. The instructors also start from the beginning, teaching basic open-water diving techniques, which their pupils practice in the onsite heated pool. To complement its courses, the center stocks gear from equipment brands such as McNett, Aqua Lung, and Suunto, and it organizes diving trips to South Africa and Australia.

Long before the earth knew pollutants of any kind, a huge, ancient sea covered what is now North America. Pure, natural salt was the main ingredient of this sea, and over millions of years, the water in the sea evaporated, leaving the salt in undisturbed deposits. At some point during the earth's Jurassic Era, a range of volcanoes erupted around the ancient sea bed, sealing the salt with thick volcanic ash, protecting these precious deposits against the pollution that man would eventually introduce into the environment. Near the small town of Redmond, in Central Utah, approximately 200 miles south of Salt Lake City, we carefully extract this salt from deep within the earth, and bring it to you in its pure, natural state–without any additives, chemicals, or heat processing.
Don't fret! Check out these suggested similar and related items below. Happy shopping!

Redmond Trading Redmond Clay Talc Free Baby Powder is unrefined, perfect for your baby's sensitive skin. Redmond Clay is a rare, high-desert clay. Redmond Clay Talc Free Baby Powder has no chemicals or fragrances, so you don't have to worry about allergies or skin irritation.
How does Redmond Clay work?Bentonite clay has a negative electrical charge, attracting positively charged toxins. The formation of bentonite resembles tiny business card shapes, with negatively charged wide surfaces and positively charged edges, providing a powerful drawing effect. As most toxins are positively charged, clay naturally rids the body of toxins as it pulls and holds the toxins into its core.
How do people use Redmond Clay?Throughout history, people have used bentonite clay when suffering from occasional diarrhea, constipation, heartburn, stomachache, acid indigestion, acid reflux, and other sever digestive problems. Clay has also been mixed into a poultice and applied to cuts, bruises, insect bites, bee stings, boils, rashes, acne, burns, severe dry skin, and achy joints.
Redmond Clay remains as pure today as it was when the Fremont indians discovered its uses many years ago. They extract the clay from the earth and bring it to you in its pure, natural state.

|Nonlinear finite element analysis of the plantar fascia due to the windlass mechanism.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 18752786 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|BACKGROUND: Tightening of plantar fascia by passively dorsiflexing the toes during walking has functional importance. The purpose of this research was to evaluate the influence of big toe dorsiflexion angles upon plantar fascia tension (the windlass effect) with a nonlinear finite element approach.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: A two-dimensional finite element model of the first ray was constructed for biomechanical analysis. In order to imitate the windlass effect and to evaluate the mechanical responses of the plantar fascia under various conditions, 12 model simulations--three dorsiflexion angles of the big toe (45 degrees, 30 degrees, and 15 degrees), two plantar fascia properties (linear, nonlinear), and two weightbearing conditions (with body weight, without body weight)--were designed and analyzed.
RESULTS: Our results demonstrated that nonlinear modeling of the plantar fascia provides a more sophisticated representation of experimental data than the linear one. Nonlinear plantar fascia setting also predicted a higher stress distribution along the fiber directions especially with larger toe dorsiflexion angles (45 degrees>30 degrees>15 degrees). The plantar fascia stress was found higher near the metatarsal insertion and faded as it moved toward the calcaneal insertion.
CONCLUSION: Passively dorsiflexing the big toe imposes tension onto the plantar fascia. Windlass mechanism also occurs during stance phase of walking while the toes begin to dorsiflex. From a biomechanical standpoint, the plantar fascia tension may help propel the body upon its release at the point of push off.
CLINICAL RELEVANCE: A controlled stretch via dorsiflexing the big toe may have a positive effect on treating plantar fasciitis by providing proper guidance for collagen regeneration. The windlass mechanism is also active during the stance phase of walking when the toes begin to dorsiflex.

Panthers running back Jonathan Stewart left the field with an apparent leg injury during the first quarter of Carolina's preseason game against the Dolphins. Stewart went to the locker room for further examination on his leg, and the team announced shortly thereafter that it was a calf issue -- prompting Carolina fans to exhale everywhere. Via Steve Reed of the AP:
Jonathan Stewart injured his calf in the first quarter, but team is saying it's nothing serious.— Steve Reed (@SteveReedAP) August 18, 2012
Stewart just signed a a new five-year, $36.5 million extension with the Panthers this week. The deal guaranteed the veteran back $22.5 million. Thankfully for the Panthers, the injury appears to be minor at this point.
Stewart did not have a rushing attempt in the Panthers first preseason game last week, pulling down just one catch for 13 yards. He did punch it in from two yards out on Friday against the Dolphins before leaving the game at the end of the first quarter.

The Verdict: Critics Review Murder for Two, With Jeff Blumenkrantz and Brett Ryback, Off-Broadway
By Playbill Staff
Murder for Two, the two-person whodunit musical starring Jeff Blumenkrantz and Brett Ryback as suspects and detective, respectively, opened Off-Broadway Nov. 6, following previews that began Oct. 23, at New World Stages.
The New York premiere of the musical comedy — first seen last summer in Second Stage Theatre's 2013 Uptown Series — featuring music by Joe Kinosian, lyrics by Kellen Blair and a book by Kinosian and Blair, is directed by Scott Schwartz (Golda's Balcony, Jane Eyre).
Blumenkrantz (Into the Woods, Threepenny Opera, Damn Yankees, How to Succeed…, A Class Act) plays a multitude of characters — all suspects — alongside the up-and-coming detective Marcus, played by Ryback (The History Boys at Ahmanson, The Lieutenant of Inishmore at the Mark Taper Forum), in the piece.
The critics have filed their reviews, and Playbill.com has collected them for our readers. Several reviews reflect the original premiere of Murder for Two at Second Stage this past summer. Playbill.com will continue to update our list as the reviews come in.

News: Drake's "Thank Me Later" Debut Single Announced, Hype Williams Music Video On Deck
Saturday, Sep 26, 2009 10:00AM
Drake's highly-anticipated Thank Me Later debut has begun to take form with the announcement of his first official single and Hype Williams-directed music video alongside The-Dream called "Shut It Down."
According to producer Omen, the song will first be accompanied by a visual video.
"We're filming a video for it soon helmed by Hype Williams. The track will be serviced just a few weeks after," Omen revealed. The song came about when Omen teamed up with Drake's longtime musical collaborator, 40, and together they came up with the production. "I was working on some drum patterns and 40 had the melody going. 40 is very skilled and has a crazy ear for obscure sounds and chords," says Omen. "It took us the whole night to come up with the track, but we finished it and played it for Drake the next day, who already had the song's concept." The idea for the track, which Omen describes as a "Prince-like, powerful song," is about "empowering females. Drake said he had a song idea called 'Shut It Down' aimed at club-going females. When they go out and they get dressed up and put their makeup on and get their hair done, they have the capacity to shut the club down," Omen recalls. (Billboard)
Drake previously hit up Twitter to call his album-making process "magic."
"In the studio...," he wrote Monday (August 17) morning. "working on Thank Me Later...magic...surgery September 8th! Then we're back in business" (Drake's Twitter)
He recently had to defend his pen game after producer Kia Shine claimed a portion of writing and publishing rights off Drizzy's "Best I Ever Had" hit.
"There have been questions posed to me the last few days about the writing of 'Best I Ever Had' and I figured I'd take the time to clear the air directly," he wrote Thursday (September 17) night. "I have never met Kia Shine or worked with him. I wrote the entire composition in Toronto and I borrowed one line from a Lil Wayne song that he produced the BEAT for. The claims of 25% ownership are false and for a artist to brag about splits on a song is distasteful to begin with." (October's Very Own)
His So Far Gone retail re-release landed in the Top 10 list last week.
Young Money rapper Drake also made his retail debut with So Far Gone landing at No. 6. After one week in stores, Drizzy's retail re-release has moved 73,600 units. (Sales Wrap)
Drake's Thank Me Later album is slated to hit shelves February 2010 via Young Money/Universal Motown.
