It may not be a good enough reason for anybody else but guess what ....I dont care lol.
Gun snobbery is rampant on the internet. I think shooters should just buy what makes them happy and what fits their needs and what works for them.
The haters will tell you that gas piston AR's are too heavy, they have more parts to fail,they experience carrier tilt, arent accurate, parts are hard to find, the design is not standardized, they are not true mil-spec,
that its a solution looking for a problem that doesnt exist and so on and so forth.
Some of which is true and many of which is NOT true...and all of which I dont care. I am not saying gas pistons are an improvement or that they are better...all I can say is that I no longer have to use a dental pick or special shaped brush to clean that dang star chamber and I dont have to
"run the bolt wet"
and thats worth every penny to me.
On a side note - While I was at the media day shoot in Boulder City last month Surefire had 2 d.i. rifles for us to shoot to test out their 60 & 100 round magazines. These d.i. rifles were getting the snot shot out of them! They held up a few thousand round and a few hours of consistent shooting until they finally needed to stop and lube the bolt due to malfunctions. I even got video of the guns going down due to the fouling. I didnt plan seeing it, I was just there when it happened. The d.i's held up for hours just fine until they malfunctioned which is good enough for me for home defense or SHTF I would think since I dont think I will be putting 2000 rounds down range in a real world situation? But they did have dirty bolt issues..thats a fact.
Meanwhile at the HK booth, they had their MR556A1 out for us to shoot all day.(civilian version of the HK416 gas piston gun) I asked when they cleaned it last and he said it has not been cleaned or oiled all day and no one had any malfunctions. Was he telling the truth? Who knows?
All I can tell you is what I personally know and personally experienced. Take it for what thats worth?
That in the red is true though, heres some food for thought, on running a piston AR dry, excellerated wear, yes when the steel bolt carrier runs back and forth under pressure, it wears the aluminum upper. Sure the factories dont worry about as they can just toss it and replace it, but who wants to destroy a rifle by not lubing it? Its not allot different thant aluminum pistons in a cast iron block, sure there is not as much heat, but you still need it lubed or do you run your engine without oil? The biggest reason a AK is so damn reliable is, it is built to far looser tollarances than the AR, and this is done for a number of reasons, 1. conscripts in Soviet service were less than well educated in firearms, kerosene or diesel was the solvent, with motor oil the lubricant. 2. ease of manufacturer by those who are not well educated, and are more or less required to work there. 3. Soviet machinery of the era, was not as well made or have the abilty that their western counterparts had or possesed.

Roadmap to 2050: Planning for Utah's Future Infrastructure Needs
Written by: Mallory Bateman
Utah's population is projected to grow by 2.5 million people by 2050. This growth will result in an older, more diverse population. New Utahns will need places to live, reliable sources of energy to support their needs, and a good transportation network to get to work, entertainment, or school. This report focuses on three important facets of communities: development, transportation, and energy. Water is also a critical element to growth, but it will be discussed … Continued

What is Yoga?
The practice of yoga has been around for over 5,000 years. The word Yoga means "to join or yoke together," and it does so by connecting mind and body, by connecting one yogi with another ,and by connecting all yogis with Mother Earth. This connection with the self and with something greater than the self is what makes yoga different from other forms of exercise. Contrary to popular belief, yoga is not just a practice of stretches and exercises. Yoga is also a practice that touches all aspects of one's health including all physical body systems, as well as emotional, mental and spiritual well being. Many people practicing find that yoga begins to affect other aspects of their life besides new found physical strength. Yoga students may begin to make more mindful food choices and pay closer attention to their relationship with friends and family. They may also begin to develop greater compassion for the world around them. In short, yoga provokes personal inquiry. Many people discover greater awareness within their own bodies and in turn develop a stronger connection with all beings. From a physical standpoint, a regular yoga practice has been proven to reduce stress and boost emotional well-being, increase strength & flexibility, improve cardiovascular fitness, enhance vitality, and manage body weight.
There are many different styles of yoga asana (physical postures) to meet the many different physical needs of students. This is the beauty of the Yoga House of Charleston. No matter where you are in your yoga practice, there is a place for you in our House!
To put it simply, EVERYONE benefits from yoga. Whether you desire greater flexibility, stronger muscles and bones, lasting endurance, or peace of mind, all can be found in yoga. Yoga asana is a great method for helping people get into shape and stay in shape. There is always somewhere to progress in the practice! Beginner and restorative yoga classes can be utilized by those recovering from an injury or suffering from chronic illness. Many find that yoga improves the quality of their sleep, increases their energy level, and reduces stress.
What benefits are you seeking from your yoga practice?
The Yoga House of Charleston offers a class to help you reach your goals!
Hopefully this page will help to dispel some common rumors, concerns, and leeriness around the practice of yoga.
I can't practice yoga because I am not flexible.
That is one important reason to practice yoga! Many tight bodies have found healing in yoga classes. Athletes to couch potatoes and everything in between need to maintain adequate flexibility to maintain optimal health. For those craving looser hamstrings, check out our Yin yoga classes.
Is Yoga a religion?
No, yoga is not a religion. Many people find spiritual healing through their yoga practice but no specific form of worship is carried out during a yoga class. Yoga can mean many different things to people. Some come to yoga solely for the physical practice, while others prefer to divulge deeper into the philosophy behind yoga. The bottom line is that a student should never feel pressured to explore a side of yoga that is outside of their comfort level.
Isn't yoga just for women or smaller-framed men?
Quite the contrary! In fact, TYH's owner and founder is a larger-framed man of around 200 pounds. Almost 30% of yogis in America are men, and dudes find their ways to yoga classes for a variety of reasons. Men with greater flexibility, better range of motion, and reduced stress tend to perform better in other activities such as contact sports, running, weight training, and yes, even the bedroom. In fact, anyone who has taken a hot yoga class or strong vinyasa flow is well aware of the physical fitness required in yoga. All others can choose to sit back and speculate or discover the benefits of yoga for themselves...and yes that was a challenge to all you "tough guys" out there!
I have seen pictures of people doing yoga, and there is no way I could ever balance on my forearms!
Many people think that yoga classes are filled with ex ballerinas and gymnasts who don't think twice about touching their toes or standing on their heads. While there are indeed ballerinas and gymnasts who practice yoga, there are people from all other backgrounds and fitness levels as well. Why? Because one does not have to stand on his or her head or do the splits to reap the benefits of yoga. Do not be intimidated by the practice, because the practice can easily be tailored to fit all needs.
I already go to the gym so I do not need to practice yoga.
Yoga is a great complementary practice to other forms of exercise. Yoga offers students greater flexibility, better mental clarity, a chance to heal sore muscles and injuries, reduce stress, and improve sleep.
There are a few basic courtesies that the Yoga House of Charleston ask of all who step through our doors for yoga classes.
- For your first class, please arrive 15 minutes early to fill out a little paperwork and become familiar with our studio. It also allows you time to speak with the teacher before class to let her or him know of any particular injuries or other body issues you may be experiencing.
- Please turn all cell phones off!
- Please show up for class on time (that means a few minutes early!). If you do arrive late, please wait until the beginning phase of class is finished before entering the studio, so as not to disturb fellow students. In some circumstances, if you are late the doors may be locked, in order to ensure the safety of our clients and teachers.
- Please remove your shoes before entering the studio.
- If you borrow a studio mat, please clean it as best you can after use. Mat cleaner will be provided. You will sweat! Please bring a towel and wipe up around your mat after class.
- Try not to eat at least one hour before attending class and at least two hours prior for hot classes. It will make your experience much more enjoyable.
- Please do not wear heavy colognes or perfumes as they may bother other students.
- Please HONOR your body! Although often practiced in a group setting yoga is a very personal practice and no one understands your body like you do. Please listen to and respect your physical limits and needs. Our instructors are there to help. They can offer modifications for postures and we also have lots of props to assist you in your practice.
- Please do your best to remain in class throughout the session - even during final resting pose (Savasana). This is one of the most important parts to a yoga practice. If you must leave, please let the teacher know in advance and slip away while others are getting settled.

AccuTran Global Review
www.accutranglobal.com Not Available Not Available
AccuTran Global is a Canadian-based company providing international virtual business services to clients all over the world. The company specializes in financial and medical business transcription services. However, AccuTran Global provides translation, editing, bookkeeping, tax preparation and administrative solutions as well.
AccuTran Global is able to offer these services thanks to their vast fleet of international remote workers who complete assignments out of their homes. If this sounds like something you're interested in, continue reading to discover how to join the AccuTran Global team!
Getting Started
Before you can get started, you'll have to meet a few requirements. Since transcription is the name of the game, you will need excellent English language and listening skills. You should also have an accurate typing speed of at least 70 words per minute. Plus, any experience with transcription, editing, bookkeeping and administration is definitely considered an asset.
Unlike many other remote service providers, you don't need a lot of hardware or equipment to work for AccuTran Global. The company only asks for an up-to-date PC or Mac, headphones and a high-speed Internet connection. Since you're reading this, you probably own all of these things already.
MORE: Is time running out to pay your bills on time? Get help…
To apply, you need to download and complete a brief preliminary questionnaire and test online. Be sure to follow the instructions carefully for completion and submission. When successful and AccuTran Global finds a suitable position, you'll be contacted via e-mail.
Earning Money
AccuTran Global supplies all the necessary software and training you need to get started in your new position. The first step is to install and learn some of the AccuTran Global software as well as some basic financial vocabulary. This will ensure you're more comfortable on the job.
As a brand new AccuTran Global worker, you'll start in an entry-level transcription position for the company's financial and medical sector clients. Most of the job consists of transcribing, reviewing, editing and formatting audio files, which include: conference calls, meetings, presentations and interviews.
Simply listen to the audio clip that you're assigned and type word for word everything that you hear into the company's software. Easy, right?
Once you gain a bit more experience with the company, you can then be promoted to more varied and higher-paying tasks.
MORE: Need extra cash? It's easy, discover how…
Projects are often time-sensitive. So, once you are assigned a task there is a deadline you'll need to meet. However, AccuTran Global will try to accommodate all your needs. On a weekly basis, you supply the company your availability and they schedule work based on that. Finally, a job that works around your schedule!
Keep in mind that the company does not offer full-time work. You shouldn't count on this job if you're looking for a steady flow of income throughout the year. Think of this opportunity as a way to add extra income to anything you may already be doing. Most work is seasonal and peaks during the financial industry's quarterly earnings periods. Approximate earning seasons are as follows:
- January 20 to March 15
- April 20 to May 20
- July 20 to August 20
- October 20 to November 20

T.H.E.: What is AT&Ts specific vision of broadband in education?
Fenwick: I think our vision for broadband in education is to look for ways that we can use this medium to bring together richness in content with fast delivery through broader and fatter pipes. Our vision is to use the power of this new technology to do more than just deliver existing Web sites faster or with more sound and graphics. We really want to see what these new high-speed pipes can deliver in the ways of new models for education.
T.H.E.: In what ways right now can broadband technology impact the way learning takes place?
Fenwick: Were exploring those now, and I think its a combination of the realism that video and video streaming bring to the education process, coupled with the depth of Internet resources that exist today. However, its the convergence of those technologies along with those of real-time chat and real-time dialogue that I think will create a new model.
T.H.E.: Why should a school invest now to wire their facility for broadband delivery? What is the advantage of doing it now rather than a few years from now?
Fenwick: I think many schools are right now in the process of wiring their schools for high-speed delivery. That is the technology of today as well as the technology of tomorrow. So as a school or a community is investing in wiring, they should really be looking toward the future and planning with changing technology in mind. But the possibility, and I think the reality, of high-speed is very much available today.

Inglesina Avio Blog Tour
Thanks to Mom Central and Inglesina I have had the opportunity to try out the Inglesina Avio stroller. First off I am going to say that I LOVE this stroller!
When it first arrived I pulled everything out of the box. There were several pieces as you can see in the picture below:
I thought this was going to be an all day challenge, especially with my three year old insisting that he helps as well. To my surprise even though there looked to be tons of parts that needed to be assembled, it was actually really easy. I was extremely proud of myself that I was able to put this stroller together by just looking at the pictures.
Here is a video to show you more about the Inglesina Avio:
Why you should consider the Inglesina Avio:
- The assembly to this was very easy considering I did this without my husband home and with the help of my three year old. The only part that I found confusing was the storage bin, but after fighting with it for a couple of minutes I realized that I was trying to attach it incorrectly. By looking at the picture it was hard to tell which way it should be attached.
- The stroller is very well made and I am going to add pretty light as well! I love how easy it is to take the seat off should it need to have a complete cleaning done on it. As we know with little ones, it is amazing at times just how easy they can dirty up something like a stroller or carseat.
- Folds up: This stroller folds up with one hand and it folds up to a great size! This is going to be perfect when our family travels as it takes up very little room. Also once the stroller is folded, unlike other strollers we have had in the past, it can easily be pulled behind you which makes storing it a breeze!
- Not only it is great for bigger kids, but this seat will also hold an infant carrier. There is a huge accessory list, but here are just a few: You can purchase an attachment that will allow it to be compatible with the Brittax, Maxi Cosi, and Graco infant carriers, but you can also purchase the Inglesina Carry Cot attachment as well as the Inglesina Huggy Multifix infant seat.
- I love the fact that this stroller fits into small spaces and that I can easily fold it down with one hand. It is so easy to store this in a coat closet at home as well as placing it in the car for travel. It's great to have such an awesome stroller that doesn't take up the entire back of the car! This stroller also drives like a dream! Not only can you fold it with one hand, but you can also drive it with one hand. It is so easy to turn with one hand and it offers a smooth ride for the little ones.
- Last but not least...the color choices! The Inglesina Avio comes in six vibrant color choices and it was super hard to decide on which color I wanted to go with. They were all beautiful colors!
Avio strollers are available at Diapers.com! Make sure to use promo code AVIOFAST at checkout to get a free fast table chair!
I wrote this review while participating in a blog tour by Mom Central Consulting on behalf of Inglesina and received an Avio stroller to facilitate this review.

"Lovely scone recipe, and great use of the heavy cream to make both the butter and the buttermilk for using in the recipe. These were a hit in my house - we used a combination of black & red raspberries, mulberries, and blueberries."
"Totally hit the spot when snowed in during a blizzard. We used the full amount of butter and it was just decadent and comforting. Best comfort dish we've had in a while. We used rotisserie chicken meat to save time - great use of leftover chicken."
"Such an easy and satisfying recipe. The sauce comes out a little thinner than I prefer for pasta, but it's just right for sausage sandwiches. A definite keeper!"
"Stayed fairly true to the original, but made a couple of changes: used more varieties of heirloom tomatoes, used whatever color bell peppers I had, grilled the bread on the BBQ grill for less time instead of on the stovetop, omitted the capers, and finished the whole dish with a drizzle of balsamic glaze. Excellent combination of flavor, and love ..."
"Not an exact reproduction of KFC's coleslaw, but much closer than most (we actually bought a KFC coleslaw to compare them). Still missing a little something, although I can't put my finger on exactly what yet - it may be that "2 heads" is a subjective thing, and it needs to be quantified in the recipe a little better. Also, as the others have said..."
"Awesome! We usually don't have much luck making Indian dishes here at home, but this one is restaurant quality. Following the old adage "you can always add more but can't take away" we started with half of the amount of garam masala and worked our way up to about 3/4 tsp."
"Wonderful recipe, even my spinach hating husband loved it. Almost indistinguishable in flavor and texture from Boston Market's creamed spinach."
"What a wonderful way to use fresh seasonal veggies from the farmers market. Loved the flavor of this - it was a real hit at my house! It would have been even better with more veggies - they were the best part."
"Great risotto - it doesn't sound good on paper but somehow it really works well in the final product. I substituted cauliflower for the broccoli (it was what I had on hand), -and used the mushroom broth instead of vegetable, and it was fantastic. Just the right amount of creaminess and bite, and a great recipe for people who are making risotto for..."
"Absolutely delicious! Perfect with crusty bread, and actually improves with age."

Minnesota Upsets No. 33 Penn State, 4-3
April 5, 2013
The Minnesota Golden Gopher women's tennis team bumped back up to a .500 season with a 4-3 victory over the No. 33 Penn State Nittany Lions tonight at Baseline Tennis Center in Minneapolis, Minn. The Maroon and Gold now sit at 9-9 overall, and 3-3 in the Big Ten Conference. Penn State falls to 12-4, 2-4 B1G.
The Gophers started strong with an impressive showing in the doubles competition. Positions two and three picked up match victories to give the team a point for the early lead. Jessika Mozia and Tereza Brichacova finished first at No. 3 with an 8-3 topping of Marie Bedard and Jacqueline Zuhse. Alexa Palen and Doron Muravnik won by an identical score over Devan McCluskey and Carmen Sandor at the second position to bring home the doubles point.
The top doubles between Minnesota's Natallia Pintusava and Paula Rincon Otero and Penn State's No. 75 duo Petra Januskova and Chelsea Utting ran up a score of 6-7 in a tight race before
Penn State answered right away, winning the first two singles to take the match lead. First McCluskey defeated Aria Lambert (6-3, 6-3) at the third position and Sandor followed with a 6-2, 6-4 victory over Mozia at the fifth. Pintusava evened the score at 2-2 by defeating Januskova, the No. 57 singles player in the nation, in straight sets (7-5, 6-1).
At No. 2, Brichacova pushed the Gophers back into the lead with a three-set win over Utting (4-6, 6-1, 6-3). Rincon Otero clinched the team victory with a 6-2, 2-6, 6-3 final at No.3 singles.
The Gophers will face another ranked opponent on Sunday when head coach Chuck Merzbacher's former team, Ohio State, visits the Twin Cities campus. The match is set to take place at 11 a.m. CT and, weather permitting, could be the first outdoor match of the season.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.
Re: Discussion - CZECH REPUBLIC/US/RUSSIA - A new Czech Republic security proposal reveals how much the Czechs are freaking out about the Russians
Released on 2012-10-16 17:00 GMT
|2011-09-06 22:46:29
Discussion - A new Czech Republic security proposal reveals how much the
Czechs are freaking out about the Russians
. Serious negotiations between Russia and US over BMD will be going
on over the next two weeks.
. The Central Europeans are watching these negotiations carefully
as the outcome of these meetings and the overall status of US-Russian
relations will definitively shape the future of the security environment
in the region.
nix the first two bullets.... no need to peg this on the negotiations...
peg it instead on the overall narrative.
. The Central Europeans are concerned that NATO as a whole does not
see Russia as a serious security threat and are, thus, looking to
develop security guarantees independent of the military alliance.
Central European states have pursued two main strategies towards this
end - individual security guarantees from the US and increasing focus on
developing separate regional security frameworks like the recently
formed V4 Battle Group. (Can go into the specifics of BMDs, lillypads,
V4, etc.)
. Initially, the Czech Republic was a key participant in the US's
plans for BMD developed under the Bush administration. However, Prague
essentially pulled out of the agreement when the Obama administration
announced a revamped proposal that significantly diminished the Czech
Republic's role within the system. At the time, it was widely speculated
that Prague really didn't see Russia as the security threat that the
other Central Europeans did and a decision that any security guarantees
provided by its involvement in BMD weren't worth the cost of provoking
Russia's ire.
. However, STRATFOR has recently learned that the move was not a
result of any recalculation by Prague regarding its assessment of Russia
but rather Prague's frustration with the US that the new plans didn't
provide the country with enough of a security deterrent against Russia.
(Will go into specifics of the Czechs wanting US boots on the ground -
which the new proposal wouldn't provide.)
. After failing to achieve an acceptable agreement with the US over
Prague's role in the current BMD proposals, Prague has come up with an
alternative plan that combines both of the Central Europeans' main
strategies for addressing the Russian threat - securing US military
presence on the ground and fostering greater security cooperation
. If BMD isn't going to be enough to get a US military presence in
Czech territory, the Czechs want a batch of F-16s like Poland is
getting. The US has agreed to this in principle but at exorbitant prices
that the Czechs could never afford due to major slashes to its defense
budget amid the recession - like most of the Central Europeans.
. The Czech Republic's new plan involves getting 5 or 6 Central
European countries to go in together and do a mass order of the F-16s in
exchange for a discount by the US. It would be Romania, Slovakia,
Hungary, Bulgaria and maybe more for Poland - for 85 or so F-16s. It
would be interesting because then all of them could train together in
one country and then set up a repair factory in another country. The
countries would be tied together - and tied to the US. The US would need
to have military on the ground to train the CEs. This is the best sort
of security alliance between US and CEs.
. There are huge obstacles to this plan - even beyond the almost
insurmountable issue of financing. The Czech's determination to pursue
extensive security cooperation with the US is extremely revealing of
just how seriously the country perceives the security threat it faces
from Russia.

Actually, this was a very good day drama! Yes, there are 159 episodes but they are shorter than the regular ones and they run rather fast! Leading couple is cute and they get to have 2 weddings, second leads are beautiful( Park Jung Ah, need I say more?). Side stories are not annoying( nowhere near the screaming grannies from The best of Lee Sun Shin). Story is flowing and you really want to see one episode after another. Just keep in mind, when it becomes too frustrating, that good guys will fight in the end and bad guys will lose. No matter, they will all be forgiven, it's a nice Korean day drama after all!
WARNING!!! DO NOT!!! waste you precious Drama-time on this one... the leads are being tortured and tormented throughout the drama PLUS they hardly (like NEVER) fight back. The lead couple is cute and gets a happy ending, BUT the drama itself is really really NOT worth your time. I was so frustrated and angry and even became aggressive over the way the evil annoying characters are ALWAYS having their way while the good ones are taking it like some dumb fools.. sure what goes around comes back around... but over 150 episodes of annoyance is waay to much.
Zeroif the leads aren't tortured and tormented, would it be called a drama?

This drama is amazing it has literally kept me up at night to watch this like right now.! Its amazing the story and the love between bongi and donghae and all the other couples. it has been amazing watching this and it would have been even better if bongi was pregnant i mean i would love to see donghaes face expression! Anywais love this drama
Smile, Dong Hae is really a good show it gives learning to every family, whatever race you belong it shows that whatever problems you encounter how big it is as long as you have your family until the end, you can solve whatever problems is whether it is big or small..it also shows the reality of life..thank you for this shows..it makes me happy, cry and make my heartbeats fast..
Just finished Smile, Dong Hae. I like the ending because everybody gets reconciled or gets partnered with someone. Saewa and Dojin get back with each other due to the baby. Sulnyeo gets her Ban Kinam. Even Piljae ends up with Donbaek as Kim Jun ultimately chooses Hyesuk. I thought my prediction that Yujin and Seonu would end with each other would not come true, but it did. Taejun becomes a judge and Saeyeong becomes a supermodel. Dong Hae and Bongi goes through the wedding ceremony without a hitch this time, although a bit interruptted to the news of the acqusition of Korean citizenship. Nobody dies. Everybody is healthy. All is well that ends well. Thank you to the producers of Smile, Dong Hae, aka Smile Again. Congratulations

New Delhi Travel Guide
New Delhi Local History
Historical evidence suggests that Delhi has been settled for over 2500 years. Since the 12th century, the city has seen the rise and fall of seven major powers.
When the British ruled India they decided to make Delhi the capital in 1911 and built 'New Delhi'. During the traumatic partition of India, the city was torched and transformed from a predominantly Muslim city of less than a million residents to a largely Hindu city of almost 2 million.
Since independence the city has prospered, the result of this has however meant increased traffic congestion and pollution.
New Delhi Attractions
Top Attractions
Red Fort Rising 33m over 'Old Delhi' the fort is a reminder of the majesty of the Moghul emperors. The walls provide a sanctuary from the noise of the city to the gardens and pavilions. On Independence day large crowds gather at the Lahore gate to celebrate.
Jama Masjid This is the largest mosque in India with a capacity of 25 000. Built in 1644, it was built by Shah Jehan, the same emperor who built the Taj Mahal. The mosque features four towers and three highly decorated gateways. Visitors who are bare legged can hire robes before entering.
New Delhi This part of the city allows the visitor to experience the British Imperial dream of India. The architectural style is by no means Indian as it is far more classical in appearance. Points of interest include the Rashtrapti Bhavan (presidential residence), Parliament House and Secretariat buildings, the India Gate and the Rajpath.
Lotus Temple ( Indian Baha'i Temple ) "There is one God; mankind is one; the foundations of religion are one."
In the heart of New Delhi, the bustling capital of India, a lotus-shaped outline has etched itself on the consciousness of the city's inhabitants, capturing their imagination, fuelling their curiosity, and revolutionising the concept of worship. This is the Bahá'à Mashriqu'l-Adhkar, better known as the "Lotus Temple". With the dawning of every new day, an ever-rising tide of visitors surges to its doorsteps to savour its beauty and bask in its serenely spiritual atmosphere.

Jantar Mantar At first sight, the Jantar Mantar appears like a gallery of modern art. It is, however, an observatory. Sawai Jia Singh II of Jaipur (1699-1743), a keen astronomer and a noble in the Mughal court, was dissatisfied by the errors of brass and metal astronomical instruments.

Chandni Chowk Chandni Chowk, or 'Moonlight Square' is the most famous and historic street of Delhi, built around 300 years ago when the walled city of Shahjahanabad was established in the 17th century. The 'Trafalgar Square' of Delhi, Chandni Chowk is widely known for its century old heritage and meeting point of different cultures and traditions over the centuries. At present the street is a busy thoroughfare with its traditional framework of several 'Kuchas and Katras' (alleys) housing traditional Havelis, innumerable places of worship, popular specialized markets and century-old eating joints, known for their specialties not only in the capital but worldwide.
Tourists can either take local buses from various points within the city to reach this monument, which is located in Old Delhi, or they can hire auto-rickshaws and taxis or metro rail.
Open on all days, avoid Sundays

Lodhi Garden Earlier known as Lady Willington Park, Lodi Gardens is located on the main Lodi Road, about a kilometer east of Safdarjang's tomb. Beautifully landscaped and well laid out with small water bodies, fountains and a jogging track, the gardens are very popular with people of all ages in the capital. Re-landscaped by JA Stein and Garrett Eckbo in 1968, the gardens also house the National Bonsai Park that has a fine selection of bonsais. However, the main attractions are the ancient monuments belonging to the Sayyid and Lodi periods around which the garden was laid out in 1936 by relocating the then existing village.
The Lodi Gardens has many species of trees, a Rose Garden, and a Green House, where plants are stored. The garden is at its best during the months of February and March, when winter flowers are in full bloom. Many species of birds can be seen in Lodi Gardens throughout the year. These include babblers, parakeets, mynahs, kites, owls, kingfishers near the lake and a family of Hornbills. Previously many vultures could be seen perched on the domes of the tombs, but their numbers have declined in recent years. The playful squirrels in the park are used to people and often approach visitors sitting on benches in the hope of being fed.
The Lodi Gardens are a popular picnic spot in winter and the park can get very crowded during winter afternoons. Yoga classes are held every morning in the park and regular walkers exercise early in the morning and late at night. Street lamps along the paths and jogging track ensure the route is well lit.
The Lodi Gardens are a beautiful example of history preserved in the heart of modern south Delhi. A walk around the serene oasis of the Lodi Gardens is sure to prove a refreshing break from the urban rush of bustling Delhi.

The grand, ancient-styled Swaminarayan Akshardham complex was built in only five years through the blessings of HDH Pramukh Swami Maharaj of the Bochasanwasi Shri Akshar Purushottam Swaminarayan Sanstha (BAPS) and the colossal devotional efforts of 11,000 artisans and BAPS volunteers. The complex was inaugurated on 6 November, 2005.

Qutub Minar Qutub Minar...is the tallest brick minaret in the world, and an important example of Indo-Islamic Architecture. The tower is in the Qutb complex in South Delhi, India. The Qutb Minar and its monuments are listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Qutb-ud-din Aybak, the first Muslim ruler of Delhi, commenced construction of the Qutub Minar in 1193; but could only complete its basement. His successor, Iltutmish, added three more storeys and, in 1368, Firuz Shah Tughluq constructed the fifth and the last storey.

Drake Cancels Philadelphia Show
Fans were left asking, "Where's our tour?" after Drake abruptly canceled his concert in Philadelphia on Saturday night.
Nearly an hour after the show was scheduled to begin, Drake decided to pull the plug on his "Would You Like a Tour?" gig at Philly's Wells Fargo Center.
According to Philly.com, fans started filling the arena before they were notified that Drake would not be hitting the stage. They took to Twitter to vent their frustrations around 8:30 p.m. (The show was scheduled to start at 7 p.m.).
A Wells Fargo Center spokesperson released the following statement:
"Due to the elaborate nature of tonight's show and an unexpected technical issue, Drake's 'Would You Like A Tour' concert at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia has been postponed until Wednesday, December 18."
All tickets from the show will be honored at the new concert date.
The Philadelphia show was the second stop on Drake's "Would You Like a Tour?," which kicked off on Friday in Pittsburgh. It is scheduled to resume in Montreal on Monday.
While the show didn't go on for Drake, supporting act Miguel decided to throw a free pop-up show. "…last nights pop up show in Philly was LOVE. Big shout to Orliebs and all the fans that found it," tweeted the "Adorn" singer.Tweet

On 11 March 1769 Benjamin Franklin wrote a letter from London to his friend John Winthrop at Harvard University, announcing that he was finally dispatching a telescope that Winthrop had ordered a year earlier. Winthrop who had observed the first transit in Newfoundland was planning to view the second transit from Cambridge, Massachusetts but after a devastating fire at Harvard University had destroyed the telescopes there, he had asked Franklin to purchase a new one in London from instrument-maker James Short.
'At length after much Delay and Difficulty I have been able to obtain your Telescope that was made by Mr. Short before his Death', Franklin wrote. When Short had died in June 1768, Winthrop's telescope got stuck in the complicated probate of Short's estate. Not only that Winthrop's order for equal altitude and transit instruments from instrument-maker John Bird had also been delayed. There was such a 'great and hasty demand on him from France and Russia, and our society', Franklin had reported in July 1768, that Bird had not even started to work on the American's order. But with the instruments for the European expeditions dispatched, Bird had promised to finish Winthrop's by the end of following week. 'Possibly he may keep his word', Franklin wrote, but also warned, 'we are not to wonder if he does not' – instruments-makers in London were working around the clock. Bird's instruments were sent in September but Winthrop was still waiting for his telescope.
'I hope every thing will be found right', Franklin wrote to Winthrop, because with the transit only three months away 'I have no time left to get any philosophical or astronomical Friends to examine it as I intended, the Ship being on the Point of sailing, and a future Opportunity uncertain.' There was not much time left.

"Let the pods mature on the plant, and dry down before you pick them. they should get to corn husk dry stage before you shell them. Shell them out, and let them air dry farther for a week or so. If you are afraid there may be weevils or the like on the seeds, either mix a little diatomaceous earth with the seeds, or put them in the fridge for a couple of weeks, then in the freezer for a few days, then back in the fridge for a week or so, then into room temperature air. The sojourns in the fridge are for the benefit of the seeds respiration, before and after freezing. If you have the time and patience, do the process twice, as the return to room temperature for a week or so may/should trigger the hatching process in any surviving eggs."

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has vowed to "cleanse" his country of extremism, a day after a blast in a central Damascus mosque killed scores of people, including a key pro-regime Sunni cleric.
State news agency SANA said that 49 people died along with Mohamed Saeed al-Bouti, the most prominent cleric to back Assad's regime in his fight against opponents.
In a statement issued by the presidency, Assad condemned the attack and mourned Bouti's death, vowing to eradicate "extremism and ignorance" in Syria.
The attack was condemned by the opposition, who raised the possibility that the regime was behind the deadly blast at the Iman Mosque on Thursday night.
State media said the attack was carried out by a suicide bomber who blew himself up after entering the mosque, where Bouti was addressing religious students.
State media said Bouti's grandson was among the dead.'Destroying extremism'
"I swear to the Syrian people that your blood, and that of your grandson and all the martyrs of the homeland, will not be spilled in vain because we will be faithful to your ideas by destroying their extremism and ignorance until we have cleansed the country," Assad said in the statement on Friday.
Pro-government television aired gruesome footage from inside the mosque, where dozens of corpses and body parts, including limbs and hands, were strewn on the carpeted floor in pools of blood.
The government declared Saturday as a day of mourning and state-run Syrian TV halted its regular programmes on Friday to air readings from the Muslim holy book, the Quran, as well as speeches of the late cleric.
Al-Bouti was the most senior religious figure to be killed in Syria's civil war and his slaying was a major blow to Assad.
The preacher had been a vocal supporter of the regime since the early days of Assad's father and predecessor, the late President Hafez Assad, providing a Sunni cover and legitimacy to their rule.
Sunnis are the majority sect in Syria while Assad is from the minority Alawite sect, an offshoot of Shia Islam.
In a speech earlier this month, al-Bouti had said it was "a religious duty to protect the values, the land and the nation'' of Syria.Chemical weapons
"There is no difference between the army and the rest of the nation," he said at the time - a clear endorsement of Assad's forces in their effort to crush the rebels.
The latest attack came as heavy fighting raged across Syria. Ban Ki-Moon, the UN chief, said the United Nations would investigate whether chemical weapons have been used in the conflict.
The relentless violence has killed more than 70,000 people, according to UN figures, and caused more than one million to flee their homes as refugees.
The mosque bombing was among the most serious security breaches in Damascus. Last July, an attack that targeted a high-level government crisis meeting killed four top regime officials, including Assad's brother-in-law and the defense minister.
Last month, a car bomb that struck in the same area, which houses the headquarters of Syria's ruling Baath party, killed at least 53 people and wounded more than 200.

Pint-sized Desperate Housewives star Eva Longoria Parker (in Trina Turk) works with celebrity trainer Patrick Murphy to maintain her lean, toned look. "The best way to achieve that bikini body is weight training, putting resistance on your body, executing supersets and compound exercises," says Murphy. "When working with Eva I do full body workouts not neglecting any muscle groups." Murphy recommends that first-time lifters enroll in a few personal training sessions to learn the basics.

Self-Measured Blood Pressure Monitoring
Clinical Questions Addressed by the CER (1 of 2)
In preparing the report on which this continuing medical education (CME) activity is based, the authors aimed to answer seven Key Questions (KQs). KQ 1 is listed below:
KQ1. In people with hypertension (adults and children), does SMBP monitoring, compared to usual care or other interventions without SMBP, have an effect on clinically important outcomes?
How does SMBP monitoring compare to usual care or other interventions without SMBP in its effect on relevant clinical outcomes (cardiovascular events, mortality, patient satisfaction, quality of life, and adverse events related to antihypertensive agents)?
How does SMBP monitoring compare to usual care or other interventions without SMBP in its effect on relevant surrogate outcomes (cardiac measures: left ventricular hypertrophy, left ventricular mass, and left ventricular mass index) and intermediate outcomes (BP control, BP treatment adherence, or health care process measures)?
Keywords: key question | comparative effectiveness | systematic review
