Kansas City Chiefs - 9-3
Washington Redskins – 3-9
Chiefs vs. Redskins. Both of these teams come into this game on losing streaks. The Chiefs have a three game losing streak and the Redskins are on a four game losing streak. The Chiefs started the season at 9-0, and appeared to be cruising along until they ran into some tough AFC West competition, namely the Denver Broncos. While the Redskins just can't seem to get in sync.
One half they look really good and then the next they look terrible. They've had problems protecting the quarterback and Running back Alfred Morris hasn't been able to get going the past few games. The Chiefs has been moving the ball well, as they've put points on the board and passed the ball successfully. However, it's their vaunted defense that has struggled lately.
Their feared pass rusher Justin Houston has been injured, and his counterpart at OLB Tamba Hali has struggled with injuries too. So the Chiefs have only been able to generate 1 sack over the past three games, and opposing QB's have taken advantage. But where the Chiefs outside linebackers have struggled, the Redskins Brian Orakpo has been dominant.
Orakpo has 5.5 sacks over the past four games and with the Chiefs LT Brandon Albert likely not to play, Orakpo may be in line for another big game. And the Redskins will need it, as Chiefs QB Alex Smith has played well the past three games, and their star running back Jamaal Charles is capable of hurting the Redskins defense in a number of ways.
But what about the Redskins offense? Teams have focused on shutting down running back Alfred Morris, and quarterback Robert Griffin III has looked good in moments, but mostly the Redskins offense has been stagnant. I think the Redskins have a good chance to beat the Chiefs, especially with their injuries. But I don't think they will.
Just like last week this game will come down to team chemistry and belief. When the game is on the line, those things are needed to dig deep and fight to win. The Chiefs still have a playoff berth to secure, so hope remains for them. But the Redskins are eliminated from the playoffs, and with head coach Mike Shanahan on the Hot Seat, the Redskins may be ready to turn the page.
So unless the Chiefs just give the game away with a bunch of turnovers, they'll win. Chiefs vs. Redskins.
Score prediction: 24-20 Chiefs
Points spread: Chiefs – 3
Over/under: 44.5 – Under

Video: Pagani Zonda Uno one-off takes to the streets of Modena
by Noah Joseph (RSS feed) on Jun 12th, 2010 at 6:03PM
A little over a week ago, we brought you initial details and images of the Pagani Zonda Uno, a one-off special supercar commissioned by the Qatari royal family. Those first images barely gave us a sufficient glimpse, but a couple of fresh ones (with some sort of protective film apparently covering parts of the bodywork) and a trio of videos provide the closer look Zonda fans have been asking for. An intrepid observer, apparently drawing no ire from the staff at the Pagani factory, managed to capture footage of the turquoise Cinque/R hybrid (as in, blending elements of both models, not a...

We cannot feel strongly toward the totally unlike because it is unimaginable, unrealizable; nor yet toward the wholly like because it is stale -- identity must always be dull company. The power of other natures over us lies in a stimulating difference which causes excitement and opens communication, in ideas similar to our own but not identical, in states of mind attainable but not actual.

It's been something I've been pondering in the past, and it's just come up again. Distance learning, and qualifications. First, some history.
I'm 34, I've been working with computers since I started at 17, both freelance and contracted within education. Primary and secondary, some infant school work. Everything from maintenance, to repair, to upgrades, software, deployment..and an enjoyable stint as a resource tech, repairing electronics and electricals.
"Official" qualifications come down to a BTEC Nat in comp. Studies (at 17), and I did the A+ several years ago, but never actually sat the final exam..or actually, I may have...I certainly recall sitting an exam on a PC, in a crowded room...but never had anything come of it on paper..heyho.
Now, my job as it stands is very wide-ranging..repair, maintenance, user support, deployment, IP phone management, and so on..and I feel it may be a good plan to "nail down" things a little in a more official way. And refresh that which I haven't used in a long time.
However, I'm primary child transport, I have one toddler of 2 and a new arrival scheduled to arrive in 11 weeks, which limits my options (but family first, as always, no contest).
Given that I already work a full week in addition to transport duties, distance learning appeals more - I can fit it in around the family easily. There is a Pearson-Vue/Prometric centre at Telford College that I can easily get to (3 minutes from the in-laws), so I could easily sit an evening exam there, with minimal inconvenience to the missus/childcare.
What suggestions can anyone chuck in the ring? Hardware is..well..much of a muchness nowadays, yes? So possibly software..or customer support..argh, I have no idea if I'm honest, heh. Cost will be another factor - Missus will be on Mat.Leave, so money will be restricted (on purpose, not through need necessarily).
Any suggestions or guidance much appreciated..:)

Informal Science Learning: Unpredictable, Chaotic…and Viral!January 3rd, 2012 - Posted in 2012, Dimensions, From the CEO by Anthony (Bud) Rock
I recently represented ASTC on the scientific advisory board of a large media group that held its annual retreat in the pristine Colorado wilderness. Gathered together were leading scientific researchers, innovators, captains of industry, technology-based investors and philanthropists, artists, and science communicators.
In a relaxed venue, this diverse group explored the science issues that are most vexing in our world today and the topics only just visible on the edges of the horizon. The group examined, as well, the constantly changing ways in which the public obtains (and retains) science information now and in the foreseeable future.

Trick, No Treat: Halloween is Playground for Hackers
CREDIT: Dreamstime
Halloween is a hacker's dream and a ghoulish nightmare for gullible computer users, according to security experts.
With the holiday just over a week away, computer spammers are ramping up their inventory of tasty treats, sending out malicious emails with enticing titles like: Open this! $1 Million Prize, Win Millions this Halloween, Halloween Treat Bags, Home Decorations, and More, and Low Price Sexy Halloween Costumes Sale!!! Free Shipping, Free Gift!
When these links are clicked, however, users are directed to pages that harvest email addresses and personal information, wrote Samir Patil of antivirus maker Symantec.
Don't let Halloween haunt you for the rest of the year, Patil wrote.
This Halloween hacker campaign comes on the heels of a scam targeting the upcoming Harry Potter film, in which promises of free tickets turned out to contain corrupted links.
It is common knowledge in the security community that spammers use culturally relevant topics and even knowledge of a user's online behavior to trick people into clicking fraudulent links and divulging personal information. Experts advise people to update their antivirus protection and to be aware of suspicious emails, no matter the treats they promise.

paddle boards, yes those paddle boards that are so hard to navigate on their own for some people, doing the downward dog. It's becoming more of a familiar sight here in Southern California, but it's also been quite popular in many east coast cities the last few years.

Investigation & treatment of vaginal or vulval varicose veins
If varicose veins can be seen or felt in the vagina or vulva, then successful treatment will depend on proper investigations to find out the underlying cause and to direct the treatment.
In women who have symptoms of pelvic congestion syndrome ("dragging" feeling in the pelvis and/or irritable bowel and/or irritable bladder and/or deep dyspareunia - discomfort of sexual intercourse) the same tests are also needed even if there are no varicose veins seen or felt in the vagina or vulva.
There have been several tests suggested in the past, but only one is currently the "Gold Standard" test - Transvaginal colour duplex ultrasound.
Some of the tests are listed below:
Transvaginal colour duplex ultrasound - this is the gold standard test, as it shows the flow in the veins in the pelvis and doesn't need any needles or x-rays. However, it is only accurate when performed by very experienced duplex operators in units with a great deal of experience of this condition, as it is a complex test to interpret.
External colour duplex ultrasound (across the skin) - although it sounds much better to have an 'external' scan, rather than a transvaginal scan, the veins are too deep inside and at the wrong angle to get an accurate scan if the scanner is used across the skin of the lower abdomen.
MRI - Magnetic Resonance Imaging- this test can show large pelvic varicose veins and using a flow technique, can see some flow in the veins. However, it is expensive and some patients can feel claustrophobic in the MRI scanner. In addition, transvaginal duplex allows reverse flow to be seen when the pattern of breathing changes which is much harder (if not impossible) to see on the MRI scanner
Venogram (X-ray of veins with contrast injection) - a venogram is essential in the TREATMENT of pelvic or vaginal varices, but is not a good test at all to diagnose or investigate the condition. Firstly venography often misses reflux in the veins - the very thing one needs to see to diagnose the problem. In addition to that major problem, it uses X-rays (radiation) around the ovaries, involves injecting contrast and so is invasive and is more expensive than duplex ultrasound
CT (or CAT Scan - Computerised Axial Tomography) - CT has many of the same drawbacks as MRI - is better in that it doesn't have the problem of claustrophobia, but worse as it uses X-rays and so gives a radiation dose to the pelvis and ovaries
Treatment of vaginal or vulval varicose veins
Once the cause of the varicose veins has been found with a specialist transvaginal duplex ultrasound scan, our specialist surgeons can decide which of the internal and external veins need treatment.
Treatment of the internal pelvic veins - The veins in the pelvis that can cause pelvic congestion syndrome, vaginal and/or vulval varicose veins are the right and left ovarian veins and the right and left internal iliac veins.
All of these veins are best treated by 'coil embolisation'. Using X-rays to guide the procedure, a very thin tube called a 'catheter' is passed from a vein in the neck into whichever of these veins needs to be treated. A special embolisation coil is then passed out of the catheter and into the vein - causing it to close around the coil instantly and blocking the vein permanently.
In the past this procedure used to be done from the vein in the groin. However, due to anatomy of the veins in the pelvis and abdomen, trying to do this from the groin leads to a high failure rate.
Treatment of the vaginal / vulval varicose veins - Once the internal veins have been treated, the external veins can be treated. This can usually be done by injecting foam sclerotherapy into the veins using a duplex ultrasound to guide the foam into exactly the right place.
Special compression needs to be worn for 14 days and nights to get the best results - and for large veins, more than one treatment might be necessary.
Expected results from treatment
Having treated hundreds of patients since the year 2000, we have found that 99% of people receive a cure of their pelvic vein problems after one treatment (embolisation) - the remaining 1% need a second (or, very rarely, a third) procedure to close the pelvic veins.
In our experience, the foam sclerotherapy following the pelvic embolisation has always resolved the vaginal or vulval veins - although more than one treatment might be needed, if the veins are large or widespread.

Just another comment on the red burning eyes. I've had that but it wasn't due to perimenopause. If the drops and nighttime eye ointment don't help, you need to see an ophthalmologist, although a regular doctor (internist or family doctor) could help also. I had to use a drug called Restasis - you may have seen it advertised on TV.
It relieves dry eyes. One drop twice a day - it stings a little but after a while my eyes when back to being clear and not burning so I didn't have to use it anymore.
Good luck with all your symptoms! Let us know how it's going.

3. I believe that every Android phone comes with an audio recorder built-in as part of the operating system, but there are apps that you can download which will do it as well, and that may work better for you. Maybe give this one a try and see if it works out for you: http://www.androidpit.com/en/android/market/apps/app/com.samalyse.free.tapemachine/TapeMachine-Free-Recorder

5. When you say that you want to protect your phone from hackers, do you mean from people hijacking it over the internet or something? I haven't heard of that happening to anyone yet, but there have been some apps which many people thought may be viruses/malware. This is an Android anti-virus, but it is hard to say whether it does a good job, because there aren't very many, if any, Android viruses running around ruining peoples' phones.

If you are also concerned about your phone being stolen, I recommend adding a pattern lock code onto your Android phone. This can be done in settings, security & location, screen unlock pattern.

E-governance can ensure transparency: US Consul
The democracies of the United States and India striving for transparency in governance can bank on e-governance to achieve it, said US Consul General in Kolkata Helen LaFave here on Friday.
Indus Institute of Information Management in collaboration with the American Center Kolkata organized an interactive session on "E-Governance in India and the Global Scenario" that stressed on modification of Government process, change management and security of information.
Speaking at the session, US Consul General Helen LaFave said: "The democracies of the United States and India are always striving for transparency in governance."
She asserted the importance of e-governance and its broader implications for a possible key to more accessible governance.
LaFave said stem education- which is a curriculum based on the idea of educating students in four specific disciplines of science, technology, engineering and mathematics, is another area of importance where the Indo-US relation has come in handy for the Global Community.
Soumyabrata Das, a senior representative of Indus Institute of Information Management thanked the American Center for joining hands with them on such a massive project. He talked about the various ways they plan to develop and publicize e-governance in different states.
"National University of Juridical Sciences will be offering a post-graduate diploma course on e-governance in order to train individuals in this field," he informed.
Piyush Gupta, Vice-President of National Institute for Smart Governance, narrated story of the birth e-governance in India in 2002. The National E-Governance plan received the cabinet approval in 2006.
Next in line was a video presentation which showed the need for e-governance. It also showed the success of the various e-governance projects that have been implemented so far in states like Karnataka, Chandigarh, Andhra Pradesh and so on.
A powerpoint presentation by Gupta summed up the entire plan of action. A common service delivery outlet that would provide service from all departments of the Government to the common man is something that is being planned to set up in every locality of the country.
Such outlets would provide services at low and affordable costs and guarantee a fixed time period within which the service would be provided to the applicant. Then there was a slide on Mission Mode Projects that are being implemented at both Central and State levels.
The four pillars of the National E-Governance Plan are a State Wide Area Network, a State Data Centre, a State Service Delivery Gateway and the Common Service Centres. Each state would have a common call centre. A common payment gateway would also be established by the Central Government.
"Online real time transactions would be possible once the entire plan is implemented," said Gupta.
"It would not only provide transparency of procedures for the public but also open up data in public domains" he added.
Within the next five years each and every state is expected to implement the plan in full flow.
Ashok Patnaik , additional Chief Secretary and Member of West Bengal State Administrative Tribunal, briefly highlighted the contrast in the needs of the modern commoner from that of the ancient one and in that context stated the need for e-governance.
The session was moderated by Joanne Joria, Director of the American Center.

Near Eastside Legacy Initiative
The JPMorgan Chase Foundation/IUPUI Near Eastside Legacy Initiative (CHASE/NELI) was launched in the spring of 2011, after the Solution Center was awarded a two-year, $75,000 grant from JPMorgan Chase Foundation to increase awareness of, and activity in the Chase Near Eastside Legacy Center and to promote health, wellness, and education programming in the Near Eastside community.
The program resulted in community-based activities highly relevant to address community critical needs and support six of the seven action areas included in the Quality of Life Plan of the Near Eastside Neighborhood.
Some of the deliverables of the program include:
- The Healthy Smiles for Employability project provided dentures, extensive dental care, and career development experiences to six Near Eastside residents.
- Fitness classes for Near Eastside residents and senior citizens were added to the schedule at the Legacy Fitness Zone.
- The Urban Gardening project produced 450 pounds of fresh produce and delivered workshops on food preserve and preparation to neighbors.
- A prototype for a web-based Indianapolis Geographic Information System (GIS) interactive map, with the focus centered on the Near Eastside.
- Communication-related projects and web page redesigns.
According to the evaluation conducted the second half of 2013, CHASE/NELI impacted on the community in several ways.

water resources appears to be over (Worster, 1985; Reisner, 1986; NRC, 1996), and attention has shifted to management of existing systems. A key motivation behind many contemporary watershed programs is watershed restoration to reverse some of these detrimental impacts caused by water development and urbanization. However, restoration is a relatively new goal in most watersheds and financing for it is not well defined.
Current funding mechanisms for water resource management activities can occur at the local, regional, and country levels, as well as by agricultural district, by state, by interstate efforts, and by various specific federal agencies.
Local water management activities can be funded at either city or multi-city levels.
Many local water-related institutions are funded as utilities or service districts. At the municipal level, separate utilities may exist for water and wastewater systems. In recent years, many communities have also established storm-water management utilities. Funding is based on assessing charges for services rendered. Water utilities, for example, typically assess charges for hooking up to the system, for fixed administrative costs, and for the quantity of water used. Most wastewater utilities charge in a similar manner, with the wastewater flow being estimated by the indoor water use. Wastewater utilities may also vary their charges based on the strength of the sewage. Stormwater charges can be based on the amount of impervious area associated with each customer. These charges usually are a fixed monthly rate. Although many utilities do not adhere to a zero net revenue goal, it is generally considered good practice to base charges on cost recovery so that utilities neither subsidize their services nor provide surplus revenues for other areas of government. Nelson (1995) provides a current overview of utility financing in the water, wastewater, and stormwater areas. Local water, wastewater, and stormwater utilities can fund restoration activities as part of their charters if they are responsible for causing some of these impairments.
Another popular local funding model is to form area-wide districts or utilities to serve specific purposes, like water supply, wastewater treatment, and stormwater management (e.g., the Denver Urban Drainage and Flood Control

Google Payday Loan Algo Punishes Spammy Search Terms, Except On Youtube
Recently I put together an article about press release sites taking a huge hit in search rankings, presumably due to the "payday loan" algorithm which is supposed to target highly spammed keywords and sites using spammy techniques.
I spoke to an employee of a press release distribution company (who both will remain nameless) and they told me that the initial punishment occurred over the keyword "garcinia cambogia", a keyword that gets more than 800,000 searches per month according to Semrush.
As I continued to write I decided to do a search for that keyword and see who the new results were. To my surprise I found a short YouTube video ranking near the bottom of page 1. After doing some research on the video I examined its backlink profile and came to the conclusion that the site was ranking purely on the strength of pure spam.
This discovery got me thinking that perhaps YouTube, a Google owned property might be "protected" from such actions. After all the more traffic their videos receive, the more revenue they can generate through ads.
I decided to check out some other keywords to see if my theory held true in another niche. After some consideration I decided to focus on a local seo keyword, such as "city name seo". I wanted a term that would have value and a term that would have some good search volume.
The keyword I settled on has roughly 500 searches per month for its city name "seo" and could potentially generate a few hundred more visits by ranking for other variations of this same keyword.
Lo and behold I was able to find a YouTube video ranking in the 6th position for this keyword.
Well, if it is ranking in the top 10 and Google is attacking spammy backlinks, then this must be a squeaky clean white hat video correct?
Think again!
The video has 65 views yet it has 1700 backlinks from almost 300 domains. How does that happen? How can only 65 people viewed the video yet 1700 links been created for said video? Perhaps the links are quality, so let's take a peek!
After checking the backlink profile on Majectic SEO most of the links are coming via blog comments. Wait a minute, blog comments can be white hat right?
Of course they can but when the anchor text is either exact match or some variation of the main keyword then it screams spam. Don't take my word for it, take a look yourself!
Notice that this page has been spammed to death and has some unsavory keywords on the same page as the "seo" keyword. I have marked out most information since I just want to point out the facts but do not want to "out" the video in question.
I think it is pretty clear that the site is simply using YouTube as a "host" to spam and rank.
In light of how Google has handled some news sites and the press release distribution sites I find it rather interesting that they are punishing these domains in the name of "search quality" yet their very own property can be used to rank for some of these keywords using the shadiest of tactics with no ill effects?
What are your thoughts?
How Rich Snippets Work (And Tools to Generate Them)
Google search results are becoming ridiculously competitive. With the introduction of new and flashier ways to be seen, you still have to learn how to creatively and dynamically exploit those offered tools. Being seen with so many others attempting the same feat is just as hard as it was when visibility relied only on ranking.
Rich snippets have become the new keywords. These little details are what causes your listing to "pop" in a search, catching the eye of the user no matter what place on the first page you occupy. Proper use of rich snippets are a requirement for being seen. Continue reading

Party Architecture: How To Throw the Best Party... Like Ever
Thinking about throwing a holiday party, but are worried about it being blah? I got together with an old friend in 2007 and put together this simple primer, which we've been updating and collecting comments on ever since. Are you hosting one this season and need last minute pointers? Here's Party Architecture to the rescue...
Here are the four PILLARS of good Party Architecture: Density, Structure, Lighting & Flow. Personally, I think that the guest list is the most important element of a good party, BUT after that, if you have nothing else, go for good drinks and great lighting. Everything else will fall into place.
Party Architecture
The right density — the number of people in the room — depends on the type of party, and, to a lesser extent, the mood you want to set. more...
Last night two friends threw their first party since they finished renovating. Everyone was impressed by the colors, the windows, and the furniture. But the party itself felt a little blocked.
Why? more..
Take it from Neil, lighting is essential when creating the right mood at your party. more...

I say decor with drinks being a close second. The decor is the first thing that the guests encounter and it somewhat sets the tone for their enjoyment.
Perfect timing! I'm having a party tomorrow and I'm SO worried that no one will come! Also, I'm not a native of my city and I don't have a huge group of extended friends so I worry about not having that core group that will keep things lively despite who else comes... Another question: how long should a party be? I hate the idea of starting at 7 or 8 and not having anyone come until 10...
OH -- and if you're having a cocktail party, suggestions for the bar? Better to have a signature drink or many different types of alcohol? Should you be mixing a couple options of drinks or let people decide what they want? And suggestions on food? Is it acceptable to serve fresh bread, crackers, hummus and pita chips, and a platter of fruit? Or do I need to have more of an entree/side dish like a cold pasta?
The number one party ingredient is a host or hostess that's having fun! Drinks are a close second. I just wrote an article for Elle.com on holiday dinner parties that might be helpful as well... Happy hosting!
Everything depends on your specific situation.
I don't drink (well, VERY rarely) and the same is true about my partner. We don't throw parties much, but if we did, it would be a BYOB type, so obviously I don't consider alcohol a necessity. (Coffee and soft drinks are, people do get thirsty.)
My house always looks nice, so special decorations can be very minimal and still feel festive.
But food! You gotta have food. It could be as simple as chips and dips or as fancy as a multi-course meal, but something to eat is essential.
The other thing I consider critical is entertainment of some kind. Now that we have a home theater, we'd most likely have movie parties, with popcorn (we have a machine for that) and cinema treats, and the latest blu-ray. Other people might have dancing or music and someone being a DJ. Or an activity like games or crafts (the later, probably more for women or kids, unless it might be something gender neutral and maybe to create something for charity...) The thing is to have something planned to do to keep things busy and amusing. (Back in the day, Trivial Pursuit was a lot of fun, especially when we did drink and had teams...)
livc -- I can't believe you have this many questions the DAY BEFORE your party!!! All I can say is "good luck"! I'd have had the plan locked at least a week before! (But that's me.)
I'm hosting a party this weekend. I feel that the mix of people is an important ingredient. It's fun when everyone doesn't know everyone else, but I try not to invite too many people who only know me (and no one else) at the party.
For drinks, I'm doing beer, wine, and two signature drinks: pomegranate-prosecco punch (there's pear nectar in it, too), and St. Germain with Champagne.
For food, it's potluck. Everyone is bringing something, and it looks like a really good mix of food. I'm supplying most of the appetizers, most of the booze, and I'm also adding two desserts and a main course to what others are bringing.
For lighting, since the theme is winter solstice, candles will be dominant. I also have fairy lights. I'm going to try to get away with less overhead lighting.
My party's density should be between sophisticated and hot, according to the chart. Structure is good, with separate areas for entrance, bar, food, and music (all in separate rooms that flow into each other). I think I have the lighting down. Crossing my fingers for good flow.
Invite interesting people and the rest will handle itself. I can't imagine throwing a party without food, so that is just assumed. Having a variety of beverages is also assumed.
I think playing hostess and introducing people is key. Don't just say "this is so and so" and leave everyone looking awkwardly at that person. Introduce people in a way that informs others. "This is Lisa, she and I met when we took that yoga class" or "Sally and I have worked together for years. She is an amazing seamstress" or some other interesting detail that gives others a conversation opener!
You can have mediocre food and drinks, but you can't have mediocre music. Music is something that most people overlook and I've actually seen people leave a party because they didn't like what they are listening to. I've never seen people leave a party because the beer was cheap. All the party elements aside, the key to having a fun party is to have fun yourself. Everyone will take the cue from you.
Mods, please limit chenfun's posts, which shill for candles and imports. Thank you.
Mr Modtomic, oh to be a guest at one of your parties! I LOVE your ideas - fantastic!
I'm with bdig. People who are wrapped up in the music are people who stay and have fun.
That said, lighting is actually pretty important.
Go to a party where the host obliviously turns on every overhead light, and you'll realize that good lighting doesn't make a party, but bad lighting certainly ruins it.
Some thoughts on lighting.
--Main party area lighting should be appropriate for planned activities: low and indirect for dancing/chilling to music; brighter for board games.
--Start with brighter lights (when people are arriving and introducing themselves to others), then turn lights down/off.
--Have options. Don't make the entire house incredibly bright, or incredibly dim. At least one area should be well lit. Examples: the kitchen; bathroom; the place everyone dumps their coats and bags.
--Don't forget exterior lights. They should be on.
--Consider decorative bulbs. Not for emo teenagers only! I put orange bulbs in my lamps for a Halloween party. It was fun. Great no matter the occasion: temporarily replace high watt bulbs with 25 watt pink bulbs.
I agree that a relaxed host or hostess is THE single most important ingredient when it comes to throwing a successful party. You can have the greatest decor/food/drinks/lighting in the world, but if you have an uptight, nail biting host at the helm, the party is destined for disaster. Even if the crowd is thin, or you have a lot of no-shows, all you need is one energetic fun person to pull it all together -- and that person should be the host or hostess. Think back to your favorite parties and you'll see that I'm right.
Given all of the different kinds of situation, the most important thing is music, in my opinion. Everything else is relative. Why would I need to worry about decor if I'm having a party at my house, a house party, not hosting a wedding or shower or gala. A party is a party--mostly informal. On food, I find that people will be happy as long as I have the party staples: chips and dip and beer.
Then again, I live in a condo/apt and wouldn't ever plan on throwing a "fancy party" or "gala" at my place. No need to worry about decor and a bar tender/waiter.
Haha SherryBin, yes this was actually my first time hosting a party! But pretty sure it turned out well! :) I invited about 30 or 35 people to my studio apartment, and around 20 or 25 showed, which I thought was pretty good. (It's pretty spacious for a studio and I actually have plenty of places to sit, plus smokers headed to the front patio, so it did not feel overcrowded at all.) Having tons of good drinks, snacks, and cool people made it very fun. Oh, and people loved playing Catchphrase. I think party games are always a good idea.

Depends on the type of party you're having: if there's dancing involved, then music is important; if it's a dinner party, the food is important. But no matter what kind of party is it, the company is the most crucial element, so check and double check your guest list!
1- Food
2- People
3- Music
I agree; the host/ess having a good time is the best ingredient for a party.
And be sure to place the bar as far as possible from the facilities to keep the guests moving and mingling.
I also agree on the most important thing being a (relatively) relaxed host and hostess. This comes from good planning. I should listen to myself more often...
I tend to obsess a lot about food, but I'm certain that the most important things are the guests. It's just that once your guest list is done, so are you. Nothing more to do. Drinks are easy too, even if you're having cocktails. The only thing to obsess about are decorations and food, food, food.
So, from a hostess point of view, since the guest list pretty much makes itself for the holidays (hello family), I take care of the food !
We entertain at least a couple times a week, and our party invitations are in demand. The most important things at our house are:
(1) a good attitude, and
(2) good drinks
Everything else is just icing on the cake. If you don't have a good attitude, you will not have a good party. If you don't have good drinks, you can still have a good party, but you have to work harder. At that point, I would say a generally decent decor, food and music would be important. With a good attitude and good drinks, however, we have had successful parties (1) with the house a mess; (2) with 30-60 people crammed into a small two bedroom (common, actually, as that is how we live); (3) with subpar food brought by others; and (4) without any music whatsoever.
People do come for the food, but some occassions are not food-based, or have a theme that doesn't really depend on great food. In any event, I never serve chips, as they ruin the decor and cheapen the party.
For the most part, all that matters is that it is clear that we are happy that everyone is there and want everyone to have the best time possible.
Good guests are number one (although, I'm including a good host with that).
If you have social, fun people at the party, the need for good drinks (and to a lesser degree, food, decor, etc. diminishes).
When people are having fun, they won't notice the absence of food and/or drinks and/or decor as much.....but bored guests will have time to pick apart every detail (or worse...leave).
I agree with those who say a relaxed and fun host is the thing that will make or break a party. When I think about the most successful parties I've thrown, they were the ones where I was less obsessed with decor and food and more interested in making sure everyone (myself included) had the most fun possible. Alcohol helps, of course, but I've thrown really fun parties (like my sister's bridal shower) that didn't involve any drinking at all.
I loved their house tour! Does anyone remember which one it was?
Just this weekend I went to a pretty successful Christmas party that I helped to co-host. Lighting and music were two topics I have some tips on because the host, a 25 year old, kept trying to push the dance party aspect at 8 o' clock with shots just after we ate a potluck style dinner and had the overhead lights on.
Give your party room to breathe. Break out the shots after 10pm minimum and dim the lights to get your groove on.
That being said, playing "Heads Up" on the iPhone was a hit!
I can see a some sort of salad in those bowls, but what's that blue/green puddingy stuff on the bottom?
Music is also incredibly important! One great music app I've used is LimitList: http://tenkettles.com/limitlist/. It turns your iPad into a jukebox where your guests can vote on the next song they want to hear throughout the night. It also has a photobooth feature that snaps a pic with each vote. Our guests have loved it!

Do you know the importance of having a healthy liver? You may remember some basic characteristics of the liver; It's the second largest organ in the body, trumped only by skin. It's responsible for digesting food, making protein, and getting rid of the bad stuff. It's a multitasking organ that you need to survive, which is why keeping it free of toxins is vital. Anytime we overeat, eat processed or fried foods, and are exposed to environmental pollutants or stress, the liver becomes overworked and overloaded. When the liver is taxed, it can't process toxins and fat in an efficient way. There are many foods that can help cleanse the liver naturally by stimulating the natural ability to clean toxic waste from the body.

Free Style Because we're spending more and more time in our kitchens, there is a move away from the all-or-nothing "fitted" look of continuous counters. Look for more freestanding pieces of furniture or features with furniturelike qualities, such as a cabriole leg holding up a kitchen counter. These details won't be fussy but will further the notion that the kitchen isn't just for utilitarian cooking, but is for living.
Artistic Upgrades In the ongoing effort to customize our kitchens, almost anything goes. Now range hoods are works of art, literally. Already beautiful as well as functional, hoods can now be customized with panels you choose. Cupboard doors can be replaced with accent doors. Want a new backsplash? It's as simple as applying DIY stainless tiles or installing a ready-to-hang piece of tile art. You can go from dull to dramatic, tired to trendy, in just a few minutes.
Going Green Eco-friendly products aren't going to go out of style anytime soon. And now there are more ways that you can go green in the kitchen too, from energy-efficient dishwashers (that use less water than when you wash by hand), to environmentally sound flooring options made of reclaimed wood and tiles. Ann Sacks even makes a rugged tile from rescued river rocks.
Oh-So-Organic Forget straight lines and right angles, organic shapes are in. Not only are rounded shapes visually pleasing, they also encourage a more natural circular traffic flow. Imagine never bumping into a sharp corner again.

Avidyne Intros new mode-S ADS-B transponder
Avidyne announced a new mode-S transponder that will make upgrading to ADS-B out capability much simpler. The new AXP340 mode-S transponder is a slide-in replacement for the popular Bendix/King KT76A and KT78A Mode A/C transponders. Retailing for $5,995, including connector kit and mounting tray but not antenna, the AXP340 will be available early next year, in plenty of time to meet the 2020 ADS-B out mandate.
Key features of the AXP340 include direct-entry numeric keypad, one-touch VFR code entry, stopwatch and flight timers, altitude alerter, pressure altitude and GPS lat/long readout and flight ID entry. The AXP340 is panel-mounted and is a Class 1 (240-Watt) mode-S, Level 2 1090 MHz datalink transponder with extended squitter. Adding ADS-B functionality requires some more wiring, according to Avidyne. Full ADS-B out and in capability is now available from Avidyne, by installing the AXP340 and TAS600A Traffic Advisory System, which displays ADS-B signals from ground radar and other 1090 MHz ADS-B out-equipped aircraft. The TAS600A also displays targets from non-ADS-B-equipped aircraft.

Touring in support of their first album, The Beginning Stages of ..., the Polyphonic Spree seemed likely to fall into a novelty-set trap, pushing the flowering, orchestral dream-pop of Mercury Rev and the Flaming Lips to its sweetest extreme. Together We're Heavy, on the other hand, is more cake and less frosting. True to its title, the music here is heavier, finding room for more nuance and variation than on the earlier, demo-turned-dark horse-hit debut. These songs build to their climaxes instead of simply starting there, and along the way, the arrangements showcase the contributions of individual instruments. Together We're Heavy still boasts the holy glee that fans expect of The Polyphonic Spree, but it sounds human instead of like a heavenly choir, and it's better that way.

What a way to start my year of reading. Franzen, known by me and the general public for his earlier book The Corrections, Freedomis fairly similar on a prosaic level. Both are epic family dramas that are Tolstoy-esque in scope. Both concern themselves with Midwestern folks who are dissected in a Lynchian way.This book, largely centered around the Berglund family's woes, is less about family and more a scathing discourse on liberty as the greatest necessary evil. Now, of course, this isn't exactly a revelatory statement as the theme is present in the book's one-word title. But that isn't the sole theme. In many respects, the book explores how even the most stable and "normal" people are broken. Broken, but not unfixable.
This monumental piece set my year up well. Freedom was one of those books that had me slowing down as I got closer to the end, not because the narrative became lethargic, but because it seemed a sin for it to be over.

New day, same book. I can't remember reading a book that has been so challenging, fascinating, and rewarding all at the same time. Still have another 400 pages, but I'm slowly making progress. "Infinite Jest," is surely on its way to being one of my all time favorites. #reading #books #InfiniteJest #DFW #coffee (at Panera Bread)

Most of my #books and #movies. I never feel at home without them, so my official move to Charlotte will be complete after these are unpacked!

Force the system to find a 'lost' optical drive
Has anyone found a fix for this. It just started happening to me -- immediately on the installation of the new firmware update on my Intel mac pro. Actually, it was even worse - neither drive would play a DVD without stuttering, but it seems that deleting every preference I could find that even remotely had anything to do with DVDs seemed to help the playback problem - when the computer can see it at all.

16:58 - Mission accomplished! We Backstage Blogged Gucci! Yay! Now it's to the front of house as we blog LIVE from the Gucci catwalk show... get your FROW seats now, people!
16:47 - Show is starting. Portishead is playing Nobody Loves Me. Crazy backstage dressing antics. You know that kid's game - where you have to frantically put on a hat, scarf, and gloves before you can try eating the chocolate bar with a knife and fork? It looks like that, only with Gucci clothing. Fun!
16:46 - Abbey is already out of her Gucci gear and padding around in a towelling robe and furry grey slippers! Doesn't she even have to do the finale? Sweet.
And behind the glamour... A tangled bag of beige thongs. Wait, should these still be here? Erm...
As you can imagine, there were a few camera flashes going off!
16:28 - Global sneak peek! Aw '10 Gucci!!
16:24 - All the models have all disappeared. A weird reverential hush descends. "What's happening?" I ask the assembled photographers. "we're about to get a first look at the collection" one of them tells me, solemnly.
16:19 - Everything just kicked up a gear. The stylists are frantically getting the girls out of make up. Someone just threw a blusher brush accross the room to save time. "I need Na-ta-SHA! Jack-elEEEEN!" It's like herding cats. "What's the time Mr Wolf?" asks someone panicky in a headset. A madhouse.
16:16 - Abbey's bag! Take, that Frida!
16:15 - Yikes! Check out Abbey's lambs bone pendant. Spooky!
16:13 - Beauty guru Pat McGrath is getting serious! "Come on everybody! Let's get going!" It's show time, pretty people!
16:11 - Purple velvet coat "from Paris...somewhere" oh to be a model. Cute peach lace dress, ditto.
16:06 - The Kershaw in full effect. Most of us couldn't hope to nail a pout like that.
15:59 - Hair is "Gorgeous sporty luxury... but I'm going to mess it up a little for the catwalk, so that it works with the feathers and the furs". Ooh, Luigi is giving some clues away about the collection! Don't let the clothing rail heavies hear you, man!
15:53 - See? NOT 'easy' ! Ha.
15:52 - Modern Lauren Hutton!
15:49 - Hair god Luigi Murenu is the next to be pestered by Grazia. So what's happening?
"hair is very sexy, very easy, with a bit of body. She is like a modern Lauren Hutton! This is very easy [NB it's totally not - those girls have had rollers in for half an hour and now they are all getting mega blow drys and they all have magic model hair anyway]. And of course, this look is very luxurious - she's a Gucci girl, so of course it's luxurious! It's every woman's dream to have this hair." Yep. Sigh.
15:47 - Model snacking on a rice cake. Lady, there's like a whole GUCCI BAKERY on a table next door! Madness.
15:37 - Abbey Lee Kershaw in the house! Working a kind of Russian peasant look in a purple velvet coat and embroidered bag. Let's see you work your magic on those tights, missy.
15:33 - Check it out! Today's collection being guarded by two heavies! But Grazia is nothing if not supremely nosey. We can see pale beiges, a furry capelet, stretchy dresses with cheeky cutouts (totally Frida) and some gold buckled skinny belts. Also a mildly worrying pair of beige woolly tights. Hmm.
15:23 - It's the model line-up; Karlie, Chanel, Abbey!
15:19 - Check out the beauty look!
15:14 - Have just spotted TWO models wandering around with their hair in rollers with Chanel bags over the arms of their white towelling robes. It's like a verrry glamorous spa....
15:09 - Gucci yummies! How will the models get into Frida Giannini's tight layers?

Real-World Problems of South Asian Integration

Afghans Apprehensive But Cautiously Optimistic as They Move into Critical Transition
December 4, 2013
Today in Kabul, The Asia Foundation released its annual Survey of the Afghan People, the country's broadest and most comprehensive public opinion poll with 9,260 Afghans interviewed face-to-face across all 34 provinces of Afghanistan. This year's survey is particularly significant as it reflects the perceptions of the Afghan people as they enter the critical transition year of 2014 faced with national elections, the drawdown of the remaining international security forces in the country, the growing insurgency, and the impact these events will have on the nation's economy.
