Back After A Break + NBC's Outsourced Interviews
By Kamla Bhatt • May 13th, 2011Category: Books, Movies, Music, Televison, Diaspora, People, Podcast, YouTube Videos
Thank you for checking in. I was away on a break but am back now and busy catching up with interviewing and editing. You can always find me on twitter.
Just posted 3 interviews with the cast of NBC's Outsourced, which is the first American sitcom about the South Asian community. The sitcom completed its first year and is up for a renewal for the next season.
The podcast interviews are with actors Sacha Dhawan (Manmeet), Parvesh Cheena (Gupta) and Rizwan Manji (Rajiv).
Apparently Outsourced is available in 20 different countries, but not in the UK and India.

Interview With NASA's Jerry Woodfill
On April 13, 1970, Jerry was monitoring Apollo 13's warning system when the vehicle exploded. Read the amazing story of Jerry's path towards God as he witnessed the miraculous. [Read It] Have scientists discovered the moon's origin? Answer FEAR, Anxiety and Worry… What does the Bible say? Answer Death in the Bible Marriage in the Bible Is formalized marriage becoming obsolete? Answer Should I save sex for marriage? Answer How can I deal with temptations? Answer How far is too far? What are the guidelines for dating relationships? Answer
"Houston, we have a problem." When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; what is man that thou art mindful of him?" The Psalmist's thoughts came to mind after watching the amazing story of Apollo 13, and seeing how God miraculously preserved and protected the three astronauts on board this ill-fated 1970 moon mission. Director Ron Howard meticulously re-creates the tension, turmoil and changing times of what was thought to be just another "routine" space flight turning into a fight for life when a mechanical defect severely disables the crew's command module. Christians can marvel at the vastness of our Lord's creation as well as His manifold grace in loving rebellious sinners like us. His grace is especially evident as we watch virtually every central character incessantly blaspheme His name or utter other profanities whenever problems arise, yet God still grants them the vision and ingenuity to persevere. Unfortunately, when God's name isn't being taken in vain, the film simply ignores Him totally (other than a fleeting reference to people praying for the astronauts' safe return). Although God Himself is denied, many of His ways are affirmed through the portrayal of compassion for fellow men, diligence and creativity in affecting the rescue, and denying oneself for the good of others. We also see the initially self-centered teenage daughter of Apollo captain Jim Lovell (Tom Hanks) brought to tears and presumably a realignment of priorities as she realizes her father's life is in peril. On the downside, Commander Lovell and his wife are shown mildly intoxicated and becoming physically intimate following a party to celebrate NASA's first landing on the moon. With regard to another of the astronauts, pre-marital sex is strongly implied though not shown directly. It seems that just about everyone at mission control chain-smokes in an attempt to relieve stress. Other than an initial reference to the launch pad deaths of Apollo 1 astronauts, however, there is virtually no violence in the movie. While unsaved viewers of "Apollo 13" will likely only see glory given to the wisdom and heroics of man, believers can rejoice in salvation demonstrated in the physical realm and knowing that such can only come from the hand of God. See list of Relevant Issues—questions-and-answers. As one who lived through this event in history, daily glued to the TV waiting for news of the flight, I thought the movie was well done, capturing a good deal of the tension and anxiety of the time. I didn't care at all for the "updating" done to some aspects of the movie (implied sexuality, language, the Lovell's in the back yard, etc.). I don't know why it's believed that a movie won't "sell" unless it's juiced up. Too bad Ron Howard didn't feel his story would live without the added junk.
—Steven Klepzig, age 37 My husband and I viewed the film "Apollo 13" and, given its rating, were shocked to discover so many profanities. After watching a documentary called "Moon Shot" about the 1960's space program, I understand that the scriptwriters were probably using many realistic words. However, I think they went further than needed.
In fact, their choice of words offended many Christians I am sure, since the word "Jesus" was used at least twice as a expletive. In light of the commandment "though shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain" I think this should be highly objectionable to the Christian. Jesus Christ has been made salvation for us and his name is precious, "the name above all names." —Lynelle Ellis Positive—I really enjoyed this movie, especially the relationship between Tom Hanks and his wife. When the mission is stranded on the moon, we're shown how their commitment to each other, to their family, gives the strength they both need to survive. There's also several scenes of the wife praying. I rarely see this in Hollywood pictures. While there were a few objectionable words, the core relationships, and sacrifices made by the crew members resonated with me as a Christian.
As Laban said to Jacob: "And now come, let us make a covenant, I and thou; and let it be for a witness between me and thee." Moral rating: Good / Moviemaking quality: 4½ —Anne, age 39 (USA) Comments from young people
This was a very realistic representation, I thought, of what the real Apollo 13 mission was like. One word of warning that the reviewer did not include, there are 50+ instances of profanity in the film. Other than that, it was a great movie.
—Adam Brooks, age 16 I really enjoyed this movie. It was extremely exciting, and I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. (But my best friend fell asleep. I don't know what was wrong with her!) What made this movie even better, was the fact that (the event it portrays) actually happened! Anyway, watching the way these people reacted to this horrible crisis made me truly admire them. I agree that the profanity was quite frequent, but I also feel that at least some of it was necessary (if it truly happened that way). I give this movie 2 thumbs up!
—Candi Gould, age 16 My friend says this is the best movie ever made. He is a NASA-fanatic. …I never make excuses for objectionable content, but this is a true story and it is very admirable the way Americans were so concerned about our astronauts. There is much more redeeming value in watching a true story than in most other films these days.
—Michael C., age 15 Negative—I rented "Apollo 13" thinking that I was going to watch a historical drama and learn about the mission. Instead, however, I was greeted by a movie with 20+ sh** words, at least 2 da**s, and 1 SOB. There was also an instant where a man was in the shower with his girlfriend (not married). Overall, I think that this movie was offensive and that I shouldn't have watched it.
Moral rating: Very Offensive / Moviemaking quality: 4½ —Amarissa Ruiz, age 13 (USA) |

Back To Brooklyn Available Now!
Barbra's critically acclaimed Back To Brooklyn concert is available on CD/DVD!Get your copy now at Amazon.
Comments for this News article
Saw the concert in Chicago and loved every moment of it. Also loved the DVD/CD combo. Since the shows outside of Brooklyn were a little different, would have been nice to have added extras that you did in other cities. Would loved to have seen your duet with Roslyn as an added scene. I felt that I saw something really special watching you sing with Jason and Roslyn that night. You are the best.
Dear Barbra,
I know the cause and cure for TINNITUS. Interested? Drop me an eMail @:
Ron Rosenthal, DDS, MEd, [Slur Deleted]D
Hello Barbra,
A long time fan of yours and a crush to follow. I am presently contracted with a radio station in Northampton Mass. WEIB 106.3 SMOOTH FM. And we currently put in rotation When you wish upon a star the duet with you and Mary J. Blige and let me tell you absolutely fabulous. I am very happy that I found your website, I look forward to following the events that you have coming up in the near future.
Sincerely Yours
AJ Parrish C.R.O.

I was going to watch Back to Brooklyn again so I could write this but there is no need. It only takes once for me … always has.
Watching Barbra perform during this concert was like rediscovering her continued strength, her sense of honor, her courage, her dignity, her generosity as a performer, her deep admiration of those she works with, her belief in us to always be there, and a tough heart that remains fearlessly Barbra. Wow! Thank you Barbra and your family and friends for taking us Back to Brooklyn.
Love and be well to you and yours,
- Harel
Ps: Um, finally married after thirty-five years of fear, hate, hiding, then fighting ignorance, brutal attacks, and yet, always keeping in mind the importance of rising above adversity and acting as pioneers. Daring to rise above that which divides us is the greatest expression of humanity. Happy Birthday to you Barbra!
- Harel and Avimelech Altman
Of course it is of no surprise that Barbra's Back to Brooklyn CD and DVD are of the highest calibre. Yes she has surrounded herself with the best musicians possible, superb staging, lighting,acoustics, special guests etc but the true essence of this work is Barbra's phenomenal talent. People would pay top dollar to watch her sitting on a stool knitting but yet she CONSTANTLY challenges herself to take a different avenues in her work and to keep things fresh. I am yet again gobsmacked by her achievements with this work and it is a work of art, nothing less in my book!
Watched the concert on PBS it was wonderful and loved Jason's voice!!!!!!
I have been a fan of Barbra since I saw her first tv appearance in her home made dress on the Johnny Carson show she sang 'Happy Days are Hear Again" she did it slow LOVED IT!!!! I am Barbra's age and when everyone was listening to rock n roll I was playing Barbra's music!
THANK YOU for years of wonderful music YOU have made my life a little better!!!!!!!

GLASS is the National User Group for those who enjoy using the Country's network of ancient unsurfaced public roads and vehicular rights of way. We are a not for profit association dedicated to driving, protecting and researching our unique heritage of unsurfaced public highways. We promote legal and responsible driving as a way of enjoying the countryside and campaign against irresponsible and illegal use.
Glass offers its members access to information and advice, a magazine, twice a year and full access to our comprehensive on-line database of rights of way in Great Britain. We also have a network of local representatives who hold regular meetings and can offer local knowledge to our members.

GLASS LEGAL / TRO Fighting Fund Appeal
GLASS is appealing to both members and non-members to make donations to the above Fighting Fund. The Fund is in support of any legal action that we may need to take against any threats to our continued use of Unsurfaced Rights of Way (Green Lanes) in the UK.
The recent decision in a Magistrate Court resulted in £20,000 costs being awarded against the person bringing the action which if upheld would bring to an end any member of the public's ability to bring Councils to book over lanes that have fallen into disrepair. Whilst a Magistrate Court does not set precedence the fear of £20,000 costs would leave Councils with a free hand.
Due to this decision alone many Order Making Authorities may rethink their strategies with regard to Motor Vehicles in the Countryside. We will continue to contest any further unreasonable TROs proposed elsewhere as well as misuse of the TRO process.
GLASS TRO Fighting Fund donation page on the GLASS Shop All money donated will go to fighting this case, in the event that we raise more money than needed the surplus will be held separately and will only be used for future legal actions taken in the support of laning.
For more information visit this page

GLASS has released a Press Release regarding the profligate spending by the Peak District National Park Authority on Traffic Regulation Orders to ban Vehicles from the Park.
The press release is available in full here
THE FUTURE OF GREEN LANING Some of you may have heard about The Deregulation Bill and how it might affect rights of way. The Bill is about simplifying processes and will enable Government to make changes to legislation. The draft bill had a section in it on rights of way that the Anti's are trying to hijack. Their proposal was to turn all BOATs and UCRs into Restricted Byways! Rights of Way is a very small portion of the original Draft Bill but out of a total of 350 letters and submissions more than 50% was about Rights of Way, so it is a very emotive subject. So far the drafting committee has not accepted attempts by organisations such as GLEAM, Peak Horse Power, etc to add any new restrictions to rights of way by Amendment. There is a GLASS briefing document on the link below and we suggest you read it for more info. This potentially could be NERC2 as we are not out of the woods yet. WHAT CAN YOU DO? Well the simple answer to that is join us. GLASS will continue our fight to retain recreational vehicular rights of way, and the more members we have, the more effective we are.
See our information sheet here
Welcome to the GLASS Mythbusters series!
Truth : If only this was true! Lack of maintenance is the major reason for damage to Byways. In fact some Highway Authorities are particularly adverse to spending money on legitimate vehicular routes.
In fact many millions are spent each year on repairing footpaths, especially in National Parks with extremely expensive helicopters being used to fly in materials. This is not however to say that walkers are any worse than vehicles but this needs to be put into context as many seem to believe walking causes no damage, when unfortunately this is simply not true.

Manby Motorplex Manby, Nr Louth Lincolnshire. LN11 8UZ. So, you are sitting there thinking "but AGM's are boring!" Well yes they can be but please remember that the AGM is the main chance for you, the membership, to find out what has happened within the Association in the last year. GLASS belongs to you the members, not just to the Directors or members of the Executive Committee. Come and elect those directors and committee members. We also have vacancies on the Committee and as Officers of the Association (see website for details), come along and volunteer. Find out how the committee spent your money. Find out, what has been done on your behalf? what is planned for the future? Oh, and you can use the off-road site on the day (except while we have the AGM) and all day on Saturday 19th Camping is available Friday and Saturday nights at a cost of £7.00 per night. It may seem odd for a laning organisation to hire an off-road course but there are things you can do on an off-road course that you most certainly should not be doing on a lane, practicing recovery techniques, testing driver and vehicle to the limit, playing in the mud to see just how good those tyres are. Access to the off-road course will be free to members on production of a valid GLASS membership card, the course will be available Saturday 19th August and Sunday 20th (except during the AGM), camping is available Friday and Saturday nights. Vehicles must be road legal and will be inspected before entry to the off-road course, so make sure those batteries are secured, there is a seat belt for each occupant, etc. Hopefully I will see many of you at the AGM or at other shows or events in the near future. Regards Dave Codrai

"You have hot water, hot oil and a steam table," Raul says. "It's safer just to park."
Raul told city officials that if the neighbors were upset, they should have come to him. At El Tacazo, he routinely tells customers to lower their radios and behave. He also positions trash cans beside his truck and hauls the garbage back to the Chile Store. If a customer needs a restroom, he can visit Polo's Records, where Raul has an agreement with the owner.
"People getting together is normal," Raul says. "Sometimes they bring beer, but I wouldn't say they are drunk. Probably they leave trash, but I try to pick it up. I understand what people are saying, but this is my business. I'm trying to do what's right."
City officials say they listened intently to both the vendors and the neighbors, trying to be fair to all sides.
"Every time we had a draft for proposed legislation, they were at the table with us," says Councilwoman Martinez.
"We made sure that everyone we could identify was invited to sit at the table," Councilwoman Ortega adds. "And we tried to address their issues and concerns. But we had to try and address the neighborhood issues at the same time. We had to find a reasonable balance."
Still, the negotiations became contentious. Officials "were with us one day and against us the next," vendors complain. Eventually, they became frustrated and demanded that they be allowed to operate as they had before: without time restrictions.
"We'd talk and talk and talk, but they didn't really listen," Beverly Gutierrez recalls. "They'd change the subject. They never answered our questions. They seemed like they knew what they wanted to do. An aide to Ortega even said, 'You'll be lucky to get four hours out of this.'"
Which, when the dust settled, is exactly what they got.
This past May, a new proposal for regulating food trucks arrived at Denver City Council. Among other things, it called for mobile vendors to operate between 8 a.m. and 9 p.m., park 200 feet from a restaurant and 50 feet from a neighborhood, receive written permission from parking-lot owners to be there, submit plans showing where they would operate and sell food without taking parking from existing businesses, and agree to pick up trash. But for vendors, the critical stipulation was that they could remain in one spot for only four hours at a time.
At a city council meeting, Raul, Romulo, Joel, Beverly and others explained why the proposal would kill their businesses. Some drivers spent $1,000 a month leasing a single parking spot; if they moved three times a day, they'd spend $3,000 on parking alone. Add in food, employee salaries, truck maintenance and commissary privileges, and they couldn't possibly sell enough tacos to survive. If they had to close by 9 p.m., they'd miss the nightclub crowd that accounted for a good chunk of their clientele. They'd rather have fluctuating hours so that they could set their schedules. And they had to be allowed to operate longer.
"Who can live on four hours a day?" Raul asked.
In response, Councilwoman Happy Haynes offered an amendment to extend the time span from four to eight hours. The councilmembers accepted that change, with only Ortega and MacKenzie dissenting.
Carol e Campbell was outraged.
She hadn't attended that council meeting because she thought an agreement had already been reached. Although she and her neighbors preferred a two-hour limit, they considered four hours a good compromise.
When the eight-hour proposal went before the council again in July, Campbell made sure that she and other neighbors were there to testify. MacKenzie offered an amendment restoring the four-hour limit, and only Haynes voted against it.
"There is an impact to having an additional business operating in a parking lot," MacKenzie explains. "Four hours was true to the original spirit of negotiations."
Now Beverly Gutierrez was outraged.
She and the other vendors hadn't attended that July hearing because they thought the council had already passed the eight-hour time limit.
"No one told us about the meeting," she says.
When the proposed ordinance was brought before council for a final vote in August, fifteen vendors and nine neighborhood representatives spoke.
"They looked like they had already made up their minds," Beverly says of the councilmembers. "They were looking at the ceiling and typing in their computers. They weren't listening."
The proposal with the four-hour time restriction passed unanimously.
After the new ordinance was approved, Raul and the other vendors didn't know what to do. Some visited City Hall seeking the new annual permits but were told they weren't ready, Joel Gutierrez recalls. And as they continued to park their loncheras in their regular spots, tickets started coming.
Vincent Ferrer, the city's chief inspector of zoning and property maintenance, says his department had no choice. While the old two-hour rule may have been confusing, the four-hour rule was crystal-clear. Once it was adopted, inspectors had to enforce it.
"That's our job," he says.
Even so, they didn't start issuing the tickets overnight. Vendors were given thirty days to comply with the new ordinance, and copies were distributed in both English and Spanish. Ferrer, who's fluent in Spanish, was assigned specifically to handle the food trucks, and offered to personally explain the regulations to anyone who had questions. "There was education," he says. "They do know the rules."

How is a telephone Northumberland psychic different from a psychic you go and visit or psychics that come to your home! There no difference in visiting a psychic or telephoning a psychic. All our psychics from Northumberland receive information through the subconscious, giving you help and advice. Many psychic advisers say they can only do psychic readings with the subject in front of themselves. We believe many psychic advisers haven't tried to give readings over the telephone. Psychic advisers can connect with you through many ways, the sound vibration of your voice, and the energy around you.
We believe psychic readings over the telephone is much more cost effective. Talking to our telephone psychic adviser won't cost you in fuel cost. With our psychic advisers you can choose the amount of time you would like to speak with a psychic adviser. All psychic advisers you have to visit have a set price for psychic readings.
Psychic readings via telephone and text are much cheaper and more value for money. Our Northumberland psychic advisers are on the telephone day & night giving expert advice to all our visitors.

I need to replace the 25 year old AC unit in a rental property I own and will sell in 3 years (will never pay the bill, other units in the condo have real cheap units). I basically want something just reliable enough where I wont have to worry about it breaking in those three years, but dont want to pay a fortune for a high value unit. Currently, my quote is 4500 for a Rheem unit, flushing out the old R22 and everything. The Rheem seems almost too high line for me though. So I am looking for recommendations on a 3 ton 13 Seer AC complete AC unit. Dont want to go bottom of the barrel with like a Goodman or something, but also dont need something that good. The old unit was a Payne that lasted 25 years. Thanks in advance. |

Justakid What location? What type of system? What size are you replacing? Post mdl numbers of all equipment being quoted? IMO |
Property is North New Jersey, looking for a 3 ton split level furnace and AC unit. Whole system is 25 yrs old, so I guess I am replacing gas furnace as well even though it works. Not too worried about efficiency as other units in the building have bottom end units, some still 25 years old, and I wont qualify for any tax credits bc its non-owner occupied, and I also wont be paying the bill ever. Meeting with more contractors on Monday and will have model numbers then. Other unit's compressors went last yr and they just put in R22 Lennox 13acx, so by doing a whole new system I am already overfixing relative to others. Thanks |

Report: Verizon eyes 4G pricing shift
CEO says the company's Long-Term Evolution network opens up a bevy of pricing options that include charging based on data speeds.
Verizon Wireless is reportedly looking at new pricing models for its 4G network, and one option is to charge based on data speeds.
In a Wall Street Journal interview, Verizon CEO Ivan Seidenberg said the company's Long-Term Evolution (LTE) network opens up a bevy of pricing options. Verizon hasn't set any formal pricing plans, but options look like this:
Charge by data speeds.
Pay based on what you consume, or tiered data pricing.
Some mix of both formats.
Meanwhile, Verizon didn't completely rule out unlimited plans either. Seidenberg indicated that the company is working to "figure out what the customer thinks is fair, and go from there."

The LORD said, "It is on account of Saul and his blood-stained house; it is because he put the Gibeonites to death." |

The University released its contract with new Oregon football head coach Mark Helfrich on Sunday, illustrating the base pay for the first-year head coach and explaining all fringe benefits and performance incentives applicable over the life of the contract.
Helfrich will earn $1.8 million in each of the five years stipulated, making him the seventh highest-paid coach in the Pac-12 after Arizona State's Todd Graham ($3 million), Washington's Steve Sarkisian ($2.425 million), USC's Lane Kiffin ($2.4 million), Washington State's Mike Leach ($2.25 million) and UCLA's Jim Mora and Utah's Kyle Whittingham ($2 million each). Before leaving for Philadelphia, Chip Kelly was making $3.5 million in salary, tops in the conference.
Like Kelly, Helfrich will also earn fringe benefits, such as two courtesy cars and a membership to the Eugene Country Club. Perhaps the biggest opportunity for Helfrich to make bonus money is through performance incentives. Per the contract:
Bowl Participation
National Championship Game: $150,000
Playoff/Final Four: $125,000
Rose Bowl/BCS At-Large Bowl: $100,000
NON-BCS Bowl: $50,000
Other Performance Incentives:
Win National Championship: $250,000
Win Pac-12 Championship: $100,000
Win Pac-12 North Division: $50,000
AP National Coach of the Year: $25,000
Final AP Ranking 1-10: $60,000
12 Wins in Regular Season: $200,000
Further incentives include a GPA payment. If the Ducks, as a team, earn a 3.00 GPA or higher, Helfrich earns another $100,000.
Should Helfrich go the route of Kelly and terminate the contract for a coaching opportunity somewhere else (or for any other reason), Helfrich's buyout — the amount he will owe the University — will decrease each year, starting at $3 million.
Meanwhile, sources are reporting Kelly's new deal in Philadelphia is worth $32.5 million over the same five-year span.

Setting the Tone for Effective Meetings
The start of the meeting generally sets the tone of the meeting. If people trickle in slowly, engage in extended small talk, and don't have a plan, you've just set the tone for a bad meeting. Today, we'll talk about how to set the tone for an effective meeting.
- Assign a start time and honor it. If you don't start on time, you're communicating that the meeting isn't important.
- Ask your team to refrain from emailing, texting, or taking calls during the meeting. If you have everyone's full attention, you can make significant progress quickly. Emailing, texting, etc. is very rude to those who aren't.
- Set an agenda. You might want to establish the agenda with a group ahead of time, set it yourself, or open the floor for agenda items. However you arrive at an agenda, make sure you have one.
- Make the agenda visible. Write it a white board. Project it on the wall. Email it to your team members. Whatever you do, put it in writing and follow it.
- Decide what topics you're communicating and which needs decisions. Part of the meeting will be devoted to communicating and part to deciding. I like to cover communication first, then devote specific time to making decisions.

My kids think that I have always been "the pajama lady". It is kind of funny. I did not set out in life to become "the pajama lady", but that is how it has turned out. And, to be honest, I wouldn't have it any other way. I love what I do. I love searching for new products at trade shows. I love hearing from our customers. I love working on our website.
I didn't always think that I would be "the pajama lady". I went to graduate school for managing non-profit organizations. I worked for a number of great organizations in my younger days. Then something horrible happened — I realized that I was about to get laid off. If you have ever had this happen to you, you understand what a terrible feeling this is. It also could not have been worse timing. I had just come back from maternity leave. My son (my first child) was only three months old. So there I was – new baby, bills to pay, and close to losing my job. It was not a good situation.
My reaction was to want to take control of my own destiny. I decided that I wanted to start my own business and control my own fate from then on. But, I did not have a grand plan. I did not have a lot of money. But, I did have ten years of marketing experience for non-profits, so I did have something. I also had a lot of determination. I also had (and still have – thank God) a very supportive husband who is willing to put up with my craziness, organize warehouses, ship holiday packages, and much more.
So where did we start? We found some merchandise on one of the online liquidation sites. I don't even remember which one. It was a bunch of novelty boxer shorts for men. We put them up on eBay. They sold like hotcakes. We couldn't believe it. We kept buying more. Eventually the supplier asked us if we wanted to try some flannel pajamas that he got in. I said yes. That is how the whole pajama business started. I still remember those flannel pajamas. They were blue with multi colored polka dots. My husband and I sold them out a spare room in our house in the metropolis of Moose, WY.
That is another weird piece of our story. My husband's job takes us to some fairly remote locations. In the early days our business was located in a spare room of our house in Moose, WY. In then moved to our garage at the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. In 2004, we moved to Fort Mohave, AZ as we needed our first commercial space. We are now on our third commercial building and are located in beautiful Flagstaff, AZ.
In 2002, we launched CrazyforBargains.com. CrazyforBargains.com features fun pajamas, bath robes, boxer shorts, and slippers. We sell products for men, women, kids, toddlers, and infants. Customer favorites include our selections of footed pajamas, animal slippers, kids bath robes, and flannel pajamas.
We aim to provide our customers with a quality product at a reasonable price. We strive to treat our customers the way that we would want to be treated if we were purchasing something from an online store. We understand that our customers want to receive their purchases quickly. We want our customers to be delighted with their purchases.
I am a mom too. I know how much little boys love superhero pajamas. (Treasure those years. They go by too quickly!) I know how much little girls love princess nightgowns. (The same advice applies here. My kids are getting big.) I want your kids' jammies to be just perfect. I want all of your family's pajamas and slippers to be perfect. This is what we do. I guess that is why my kids call me "the pajama lady".

TRICHY: As many as 11 persons including women were bitten by a suspected rabies-affected stray dog in Thumbalam village near Musiri in Trichy here on Friday. All of them are undergoing treatment at the Musiri government hospital.
It was a bad morning for Nagammal (60), Selvi (30), schoolboy Sivakumar (15), Angammal (57), Kathayi (60), Sathiyamoorthy (42), Saroja (33), Ramzan Beevi (61), Mallan (59), Subramani (38) and Murugesan (36), residents of Thumbalam, as all of them sustained serious injuries by indiscriminate attacks from a dog believed to be affected by rabies.
The dog first attacked Nagammal (60) in front of her residence at around 3 am. On hearing her cry, neighbours woke up and sent her to Musiri government hospital by an ambulance immediately. As the dog escaped, they again went to bed assuming it would not return. But it was shocking to everyone that the dog again started biting the rest of them at around 8 am.
All of them were brought to Musiri GH forthwith for treatment. In the meantime, enraged villagers chased down the dog and killed it, leaving no chance to doctors to diagnose its disease.
But the day continued to be bad for them as they had to endure unbearable pain as there was no anti-rabies vaccine in the hospital. They were made to wait up to 3 pm until the medicine was brought from the Tamil Nadu Medical Services Corporation Ltd (TNMSC), Trichy.
Commenting on the issue, Dr T Selvaraj, medical officer of Musiri GH, said, "As the price of immunoglobulin anti-rabies vaccine was high (Rs 6, 000 per unit), we usually purchase it from TNMSC, Trichy, if needed. So, we today got it from there and administered the vaccine to them in the afternoon. Prior to that, they were given antibiotics."
Dr Selvaraj also said, "Actually, we administered immunoglobulin to them as a precautionary measure because we could not find out whether they were bitten by a rabies-affected dog. If they had brought the dog alive, the brain of the dog could have been sent by doctors to the Pasteur Institute in Coonoor for diagnosis."
However, president of the Thumbalam panchayat M Balasekar told TOI, "We are going to pass a resolution to catch as many as 50 stray dogs in our village to prevent such incidents in future."

The Alternative Press reports: The New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (BPU) today approved a budget with $269 million in new funding to promote and deliver renewable energy and energy efficiency solutions to the state's municipal, residential, non-profits, commercial and industrial ratepayers through New Jersey's Clean Energy Program (NJCEP). Enhancements to current programs and new programs were also approved to assist small businesses, schools, municipalities and others increase energy savings, save money and protect the environment.
"The BPU is looking forward to helping more New Jerseyans save energy and money in 2010 through the Clean Energy Program, as well as continuing the fight against climate change through energy efficiency and renewable energy," said BPU President Jeanne M. Fox.
The 2010 Clean Energy Program will continue to pursue New Jersey's Energy Master Plan goals of reducing projected energy use 20 percent by 2020 with strategies that encourage residents, non-profits, businesses and local governments to integrate energy management, renewable energy and energy efficiency throughout their homes, schools and facilities. Budgets for all the whole building programs (Home Performance with Energy Star for Homeowners, Direct Install for Small Businesses, Pay for Performance for Large Businesses and Local Government Energy Audit) have been increased significantly to assist in meeting this goal.

Specifications, Availability and Pricing
The TTC-NC15TZ/KU(RB) which I will refer to as the Hati hereon is based on a three 8mm heat pipe design. These heat pipes make direct contact to the processor and are held in place with an aluminum base plate. The pipes are then bent to make their way through fifty-five aluminum fins that are pressed on over the pipes. The sides of the fins are enclosed in this cooler adding strength, proper spacing, and the ability to use "wasted air" that most coolers don't capture. Like a cherry on top of a sundae, Titan finishes off the look of the cooler by adding chrome caps to the top of the six pipe tips that pass through the top fin.
Inside the box you will find the Hati is shipped with a TFD-12025H12ZP/KU(RB) or Kukri Fan. This fan is capable of speeds from 800 to 2200 RPM and can produce up to 66.6 CFM of air flow. As I mentioned, silence is the key here, and the Kukri fan will run with a maximum rating of 35 dBA of noise level. When the fans are installed, they use unique fan mounts that isolate the fan from the cooler to reduce vibrations to aid in keeping noises at bay. So we can test the cooler with a push/pull configuration, Titan also shipped a second fan with the same model number as the included fan in the Hati box.
At this time I hear that the Hati is only on shelves in China, and aren't yet available for other markets. This leaves me having to guess on the pricing as well. Judging by a few factors such as what the cooler is made of, the amount of heat pipes, and the fans included in the kit, I would have to assume that by the time the Hati makes it to the US market it will be priced under the $45 pricing that you can find for the original Fenrir cooler. From what I have seen in what the cooler is made of, and the fact that I already saw the performance numbers, the Hati would be best priced in the sub-$40 segment of air coolers. Enough with the guess work, let's get to what I can show you as fact and let you make and educated call on whether or not the Hati will be the next CPU cooler for you!

In "Amazing Grace," a Tapestry of Faith program
This activity introduces your youth to music of social justice.
Play one or two Pete Seeger songs as examples of social-justice music. Explain that Pete Seeger is a famous folk singer who has performed all over the world. Many of his songs have something to do with social justice. Seeger is a member of a UU church in New York City .
The album, "Pete Seeger's Greatest Hits" has several songs associated with social justice. "Talking Union," with words written by Millard Lampell, Lee Hays, and Pete Seeger in 1941, is a call to join organized labor. "Which Side Are You On," another union song, was written by Florence Reece in response to a Kentucky coal strike in 1931. "We Shall Overcome," has been sung for decades to support various causes. It was especially popular during the civil rights movement, when thousands of Americans (including Unitarian Universalists like James Reeb) struggled to win equal rights for African Americans in the 1950s and '60s. "This Land Is Your Land" is Woody Guthrie's passionate tribute to the democratic vision. Written in the 1940s, the original version challenged the establishment with words that said, in effect, the land belongs to everybody, not just the rich, who treat it as private property.
Ask participants to identify more recent songs they have heard calling for social change. Ask also whether they think music is an effective tool to use in working for social justice. Are any members of the group musicians? Have they sung any songs relating to social justice?
You can extend this activity by having participants look through Singing the Living Tradition for hymns related to social justice. ("We Shall Overcome" is Hymn 169.)

Biography • Perspectives • Quotable • Publications • Links • Contact
Tony Hiss, author of The Experience of Place, writes about the restoration of America's cities and landscapes and has contributed to a wide variety of transportation and environmental initiatives. By drawing on the insights of planners, ecologists, psychologists, and environmentalists, he outlines a more experiential place-based way of looking at and dealing with our urban and rural environment. Hiss sensitively explores how people experience public places, and why different places bring about different experiences. He is also the son of Alger Hiss, one of the most famous victims of America's Communist witch-hunts during the Cold War.
"[The Experience of Place]…has awesome implications for the future of real-estate development, land-use planning, architecture and health…Tony Hiss illuminates the real nitty-gritty meaning of the dawning environmental era."
— Boston Globe
"Tony Hiss…describes subtle but practical ways to improve mediocre places and transform even some unpleasant ones. Hiss's book itself is like a splendid place-experience: it draws one in, surprises and charms, and enhances the landscapes of the mind."
— Jane Jacobs
"To read [The Experience of Place]…is to come away convinced not only that things can be put right, but that the job is well underway."
— Newsweek
Hiss, an independent author, lecturer, and consultant on restoring America's cities and landscapes, became a staff writer at The New Yorker in 1963. Since 1994, he has been a visiting scholar at New York University, first at the Taub Urban Research Center, and now at the Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service.
Hiss is spearheading NatureRail, a new environmental and transportation initiative that works with commuter railroads to safeguard and restore the land they use, and to expand recreation and wilderness opportunities for all metropolitan residents. He organized a 1997 conference for the Rockefeller Brothers Fund about the future of the New York/New Jersey Harbor Estuary, and as a result, four New York area foundations set up the pilot "H2O (Highlands-to-Ocean) Fund" to rescue and protect the estuary.
In 1996, Hiss wrote the initial vision statement for Amtrak's new Great American Station Foundation. He also wrote the report that, at the beginning of the 1990s, launched New York State's 100-mile-long Hudson River Valley Greenway initiative, and he was part of the 1997-1998 Metropolitan Initiative Project, sponsored by the President's Council on Sustainable Development. Hiss consults frequently on changing regional growth patterns, and on imaging the future through alternate development scenes, threats mapping, ecostructure mapping, and environmental simulation. He has lectured widely in the U.S. and Canada.
Hiss is a director of the Conservancy for Historic Battery Park and of the Village Alliance (a New York business improvement district), on the advisory board of Scenic America, Inc., a Contributing Editor to Preservation magazine, and a Fellow of the New York Institute for the Humanities. His work has appeared in The New York Times, Newsweek, Gourmet, The Atlantic, and Travel & Leisure.
The National Recreation and Park Association awarded Hiss its 1995 National Literary Award for a lifetime of "spellbinding and poignant" writing about "how our environments, modes of travel, and other aspects of the American landscape affect our lives." "His words," said the citation, "are often poetic, always real."
Hiss was born in Washington, D.C., and he now lives in New York City with his wife, the novelist Lois Metzger, and their son. He is the son of Alger Hiss.
The Experience of Place
Hiss uses the experience of place to help us understand how profoundly we are affected by the places around us. By bringing together the insights of planners, ecologists, psychologists, and environmentalists, he explores how our experiences in public places can restore our connection to our senses. Hiss uncovers why some places – the concourse of Grand Central Terminal or a small farm or the corner of a skyscraper – affect us so mysteriously and so forcefully. In doing so, he demonstrates how our society can continue to grow without destroying the places that have nourished it for generations – how we can design changes that, rather than harming us, will enhance our future lives.
"A damaged experience is not only numbing; over time we can begin to mistake it for the original."
"Conscious noticing of what we're experiencing, once we get back the hang of it, can be a common denominator, a language of connectedness between social, environmental, and economic concerns. Using the things we know or sense about places but seldom put into words, we can bring all our minds to bear on the problems of how our communities, regions, and landscapes should change."
"Until recently, when people spoke about a vivid experience of a place, it would usually be a wonderful memory, a magic moment at one of the sweet spots of the world – an orange sunset over a white sand beach; or hearing the soft hooting of an owl while standing in a moonlit meadow; or standing up for one minute during the seventh-inning stretch of a sold-out playoff game at Fenway Park in Boston; or walking up Fifth Avenue in New York at Christmastime, dodging past roast-chestnut and hot-pretzel vendors, and catching a glimpse of the two stone lions in front of the Public Library, with fresh snow on their gray manes and big wreaths around their necks."
"These days people often tell me that some of their most unforgettable experiences of places are disturbingly painful and have to do with unanticipated loss. Sometimes there's less to see or hear or do in a place: the curving road in front of an old suburban house, for instance, gets straightened and widened, and suddenly a favorite grove of oaks or pines that the winds whistled through is chopped down and paved over. In the center of a big city, people who have been used to window-shopping from the bus on the way home from work find that they can't look out the bus windows at night anymore because these now have a dark-green or bronze tint – and then, squinting tight, they realize there are no longer any store windows to see, because they have all been covered over by steel grates."
"Today, often without even realizing it, four out of five Americans have moved into a new kind of home – metropolitan areas. And it looks more and more likely that, twenty years from now, those numbers will be closer to nine out of ten. America has had cities and suburbs for more than a hundred years. What's new about today's metropolitan areas is that, whether we wish it so or not, within each new metropolitan area the economies, the social problems, the environments – the destinies – of all cities and suburbs are tightly linked. They need each other to prosper, and by themselves they can't solve either the problems we already know about or those that the 21st century will inevitably dump in our laps."

PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- The majority of people who completed applications for health insurance through HealthSource RI during its first month enrolled in the state's Medicaid program, with only about 1 in 4 signing up for private insurance, according to new data released Tuesday.
Additionally, 471 small businesses initiated applications in October.
Until Tuesday, HealthSource RI was providing only total figures, without breaking it down by type of enrollee. Now the agency's latest report shows that between Oct. 1 and Nov. 2, a total of 3,213 people signed up for Medicaid through the agency, and 1,192 completed applications for private insurance as individuals. Of those buying private insurance, 267 have paid the premium and are fully enrolled.
HealthSource RI is the Rhode Island's health benefits exchange, the clearinghouse under Obamacare where individuals and small businesses can shop for health insurance.
The expansion of Medicaid was one of the cornerstones of the Affordable Care Act, and in Rhode Island it meant that as many as 45,000 childless adults could now enroll. The federal government is paying 100 percent of the cost of the newly eligible.

The Queue: Barely coherent
Just so all of you are aware, Michael Sacco literally scraped me off of a hotel room floor so I could write The Queue today. No, I am not misusing the word literally there. There was a cartoonishly oversized spatula involved.
Xantenise asked:
Is there any news on the location of the awesomeness that is Asric and Jadaar in the new expansion?
I haven't seen them anywhere in Cataclysm. My current understanding is that the story of Asric and Jadaar has come to a close. Their ultimate fate rests within DeviantArt fanfics.
Oni Stardust asked:
I want one of those Aka'magosh shirts from the WoW Insider meetup at BlizzCon. Is that a BlizzCon only thing or can those of us stuck at home also get in on the action?
Those not at BlizzCon may, at some point in the future, be able to acquire an Aka'magosh T-shirt through some method. It hasn't been fully discussed or decided yet.
Many people asked:
Will we be able to download Cataclysm directly from Battle.net on the release date?
This is a question that has been asked in The Queue consistently for a few months now. At BlizzCon, we received a definite answer on this. Here you go!
russfriedrichs asked:
Who would win in a duel to the death, Rossi's beard or Deathwing the Destroyer?
Do you even need to ask that question? Rossi's beard is indestructible. His body could be burned to ash, but the beard would remain. And it would hunger for vengeance.
Pyromelter asked:
When is WoW Insider getting a better comment system?
Do you like Joystiq's version of our commenting system better? Our site will be updated Soon(TM) to be much closer to Joystiq's layout, and one of the things we are likely to port over is the comment system. I don't know when this is happening, but it is going to happen eventually.
Have questions about the World of Warcraft? The WoW Insider crew is here with The Queue, our daily Q&A column. Leave your questions in the comments, and we'll do our best to answer 'em!

Portuguese navigators first discovered the islands between 1469 and 1472. The first successful settlement of Sao Tome was established in 1493 by Alvaro Caminha, who received the land as a grant from the Portuguese crown. Principe was settled in 1500 under a similar arrangement. By the mid-1500s, with the help of slave labor, the Portuguese settlers had turned the islands into Africa's foremost exporter of sugar. Sao Tome and Principe were taken over and administered by the Portuguese crown in 1522 and 1573, respectively.
Sugar cultivation declined over the next 100 years, and by the mid-1600s, Sao Tome was little more than a port of call for bunkering ships. In the early 1800s, two new cash crops, coffee and cocoa, were introduced. The rich volcanic soils proved well suited to the new cash crop industry and soon extensive plantations (roças), owned by Portuguese companies or absentee landlords, occupied almost all of the good farmland. By 1908, Sao Tome had become the world's largest producer of cocoa, still the country's most important crop.
The roças system, which gave the plantation managers a high degree of authority, led to abuses against the African farm workers. Although Portugal officially abolished slavery in 1876, the practice of forced paid labor continued. In the early 1900s, an internationally publicized controversy arose over charges that Angolan contract workers were being subjected to forced labor and unsatisfactory working conditions. Sporadic labor unrest and dissatisfaction continued well into the 20th century, culminating in an outbreak of riots in 1953 in which several hundred African laborers were killed in a clash with their Portuguese rulers. This "Batepa Massacre" remains a major event in the colonial history of the islands, and the government officially observes its anniversary.

Every time I made Dorajimuchim and put the muchim into container, I felt bad for the leftover paste in the mixing bowl. Today, I did a small experiment and it was very successful. With some leftover paste in the bowl, I threw in lots of greens, and I added some Yuzu salad dressing to add some flavor and make it easier to mix. It turned out great. The sour Yuzu flavor goes very well with the apple vinegar taste in the Dorajimuchim paste. My boyfriend and I had the salad, black rice and Dorajimuchim for lunch. Such a healthy and tasty meal!
The Yuzu dressing I used is:
