Jamie-Lynn Sigler got her glow on with bronzer.
Bronzer is the easiest (and safest) way to get a gorgeous, sun-kissed look. For the most natural looking glow, it's key to pick the right shade. Here's the secret: Go with a powder or cream bronzer that is actually lighter than you think you need. Anything too dark will make you look orange, dirty, or even stripy. You should also avoid overly shimmery bronzers, which are obviously fake, especially during the day. The best type of bronzer to buy: Look for a sheer neutral light brown shade.

under s. 523 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, and that the sale proceeds had been paid to a creditor of the 'respondent under an attachment order. The respondent thereupon filed a suit for the recovery of the value of the vehicles. It appeared in the evidence that the vehicles were kept for several in an. open place outside the police station at Veraval so that most of their parts were pilfered away and only the skeletons of the vehicles were left. Finally on the report of the officer incharge of the aforesaid police station they were sold it an auction as unclaimed property after obtaining the order of a Magistrate. The trial court on the above evidevice decreed the respondent's suit and the High Court upheld the decree though partly reducing the amount. The State appealed to this Court It wits contended on behalf of the appellant that the sale was under a judicial order and therefore there was no liability to pay; at the most one or the other officers of the Government could be held guilty of negligence. It was further contended on behalf of the State that it could not be treated as a bailee because a bailment could arise only under a contract. HELD : (i) The State Government no doubt seized the said vehicles pursuant to the power tinder the Customs Act. But the power to seize and confiscate was dependent upon a customs offence having been committed or a suspicion that such offence had been committed. The order of the Customs Officer was not final as it was subject to appeal and if the authority found that there was no good ground for the exercise of that power the property Could no longer be retained and had under the Act to be returned to the owner. Thus there was a clear obligation to return the vehicle to the owner if the appeal went his favour. [944E] There was also an implied legal obligation to preserve tile property intact and to take reasonable care of it so is to enable it to be returned 93 9 in the same condition in which it was seized. The position of the State Government until the order became final was therefore that of a bailee. There can be bailment and the 'relationship of a bailor and bailee in respect of specific property without there being an enforceable
contract. Nor is consent indispensable for such a relationship to arise. Even a finder of goods of another becomes a bailee in certain circumstances. 1.944A-D; F-H] The High Court was right in confirming the decree passed by the trial court on the basis that there was an obligation on the State Government either to return the said vehicles or in the alternative to pay their value. [945 E] State of Rajasthan v. Mst. Vidhyawati, [1962] Supp. 2 S.C.R. 989 and Kasturilal Jain v. State of U.P. [1965] 1 S.C.R. 375, held inapplicable.
pendency of the appeal and secondly because the application under s. 523 expressly mentioned -the person from whom the said vehicles were seized, that the vehicles were and could not be said to be unclaimed property. In the circumstances, the State Government was during the pendency of the appeal under a statutory duty to take reasonable care of the said vehicles which on the said appeal being decided against it were liable to be returned to their owner. The contention that the order of disposal was a judicial order or that the respondent could have filed a revision application against that order and have it set aside would be beside the point. There being a statutory obligation under the Act to return the property once the order of seizure and confiscation was held to be wrong, the respondent could rely on that obligation and claim the return of the said vehicles. On behalf of the respondent, the contention urged was that though the seizure might be lawful and under the authority of the Statute, the State Government was from the time that the said goods were seized until the decision of the appeal, in a position of a bailee and was, therefore, bound to take reasonable care of the said vehicles. That no such reasonable care was taken and the vehicles remained totally uncared for is not in dispute. Mr. Dhebar's reply was that there was no bailment nor can such bailment be inferred as s. 148 of the Contract Act requires that a bailment can arise only under a contract between the parties. That contention is not sustainable. Bailment is dealt with by the Contract Act only 944 in cases where it arises from a contract but it is not correct to say that there cannot be a bailment without an enforceable contract. As stated in "Possession in the Common Law" by Pollock and Wright, p. 163, "Upon the whole, it is conceived that in general any person is to be considered as a bailee who otherwise than as a servant either receives possession of a thing from another or consents to receive or hold possession of a thing for another upon an understanding with the other person either to keep and return or deliver to him the specific thing or to (convey and) apply the specific thing according to the directions antecedent or future of the other
There can, therefore, be bailment and the relationship of a bailee in respect of specific property without there being an enforceable contract. Nor is consent indispensable for such a relationship to arise. A finder of goods of another has been held to be a bailee in certain circumstances. On the facts of the present case, the State Government no doubt seized the said vehicles pursuant to the power under the Customs Act. But the power to seize and confiscate was dependent upon a customs offence having been committed or a suspicion that such offence had been committed. The order of the Customs Officer was not final as it was subject to an appeal and if the appellate authority found that there was no good ground for the exercise of that power, 'the property could no longer be retained and had under the Act to be returned to the owner. That being the position and the property being liable to be returned there was not only a statutory obligation to return but until the order of confiscation became final an implied obligation to preserve the property intact and for that purpose to take such care of it as a reasonable person in like circumstances is expected to take. Just as a finder of property has to return it when its owner is found and demands it, so the State Government was bound to return the said vehicles once it was found that the seizure and confiscation were not sustainable. There being thus a legal obligation to preserve the property intact and also the obligation to take reasonable care of it so as to enable the Government to return it in the same condition in which it was seized, the position of the State Government until the order became final would be that of a bailee. If that is the correct position once the Revenue Tribunal set aside the order of the Customs Officer and the Government became liable to return the goods the owner (1) "Law of constract "by Chesire and Fi foot,pp./73,74. 94 5 had the right either to demand
property seized or its value, if, in the meantime the State Government had precluded itself from returning the property either by its own act or that of its agents or servants. This was precisely the cause of action on which the respondent's suit was grounded. The fact that an order for its disposal was passed by a Magistrate would not in an-,, way interfere with or wipe away the right of the owner to demand the return of the property or the obligation of the Government to return it. The order of disposal in any event was obtained on a false representation that the property was an unclaimed pro- perty. Even if the Government cannot be said to be in the position of a bailee, it was in any case bound to return the said property by reason of its statutory obligation or to pay its value if it had disabled itself from returning it either by its own act or by any act of its agents and servants. In these circumstances, it is difficult to apperciate how the contention that the State Government is not liable for any tortious act of its servants can possibly arise. The decisions in State of Rajasthan v. Mst. Vidh- yawati(l) and Kasturilal Jain v. The State of U.P.(2) to which -,Mr. Dhebar drew our attention have no relevance in view of the pleadings of the parties and the cause of action on which the respondent's suit was based.

Courting a VC can be a lot like courting a romantic interest. A mutual friend might set you up, or maybe you're so persistent that you just make them notice you.
And then you set up a date to meet.
But, of course, the motivations for meeting with a potential investor versus meeting a potential significant other are very different.
Which is why, as with the other installments in this genre (See "The Sexiest Business Reporters Alive"), you may be relieved to learn that our criteria here was not "boobs."
We're more sophisticated than that. We considered hair, too.
And brains! There's nothing sexier than brains. And presence. And confidence, poise, and authority. And wittiness. And power. And chutzpah. And charm. And talent. And success. And style. And all those other qualities that tend to arouse the animal spirits.
But it can't hurt to have an investor who is also nice to look at. You might work harder not to disappoint.
Money isn't everything.

So, I went to a hardware store/nursery and bought a couple of lilies (dwarf asiatics) that seemed healthy. They weren't the best quality, but I assumed with a little TLC, they would spring back to normal pretty fast. I got two dwarf asiatic hybrids. One of them is thriving, all the blooms are open and vibrant and the leaves are glossy and healthy. I wish I could say the same for the other one... The other one I got was maybe 30 cm tall, almost double the size of my other two. When I was planting it, the roots were slightly mouldy, but not black and rotten, so I didn't suspect root rot right there. I got them about a week ago. Then, when I looked at it closer, I noticed the buds were rotten and... not normal..... I pulled them off, along with some yellow leaves, and left the plant. The tips of some of the flower petals are blackened. I immediately thought of overwatering, so I haven't watered that one since I got it, and I picked off all of the buds/leaves that went bad, but I'm wondering if there is anything else I can do to help this poor plant...? UPDATE: I haven't watered it since I got it. Should I water it now? The leaves are turning yellow at the base of the stem and I tear those ones off. Should I be doing this? |

Lilies are bulbs. They grow up and bloom then die back. Then do it again next year if garden conditions are favorable. IF they have yellowing leaves in a pot at a nursery they don't grow new fresh leaves to replace them with TLC. It isn't their life cycle to keep growing leaves. Some yellowing at the bottom is normal after they finish blooming. Yellow or rotted buds are from poor care at the store but they won't grow new ones. You'll have to wait for next year. |
- Posted by duluthinbloomz4 zone 4a (My Page) on Sat, Jun 21, 14 at 20:14
Stop tearing off the yellowing leaves - if the bulb itself is okay and not mushy and rotten, it'll need the leaves (even if yellowing) and stem to replenish the bulb for next season's growth. But be prepared for having a bad bulb there. Don't water - that'll really exacerbate any present rot. In the fall when the leaves are done yellowing and the stem is brown and woody, you might dig the bulb up and inspect it. If okay, just replant and hope for the best next year. In my travels today, I saw lots of the dwarf "Pixies" and "Tinys" in full bloom for sale. At that stage, a purchaser will get to enjoy them for a pretty short time before they're bloomed out and start their normal decline. |
- Posted by Angelica11 none (My Page) on Sun, Jun 22, 14 at 0:47
Thank you. I'll stop pulling off the yellow leaves. Before I saw the posts, I watered it a little, since I haven't watered it for two weeks now, and was feeling a little worried it wasn't getting enough water. I only gave it half of what I normally give my lilies, since the soil was really dry. I wasn't expecting my plant to grow new buds, but I just didn't want it to die lol. I'll check the bulb later this year, hoping for the best, and preparing for the worst lol. The store did treat their lilies quite poorly, and this one was one of the best, though it seems to be doing poorly. How long should I stay away from watering it? It's still pretty green and glossy on the leaves that aren't yellow (there's like 85% green) It might also be overcrowding. There was three lilies in that tiny plastic store-plant-pot thing. I planted them in a much bigger pot now. |
- Posted by maylingsmom 8 (My Page) on Fri, Jun 27, 14 at 8:54
It won't hurt it to dig the bulb and check it again to make sure there is no rot there. If rot is present, then I would remove it. |

Eastern coastal plains
This article does not cite any references or sources. (November 2014) |
The Eastern Coastal Plains refer to a wide stretch of landmass of India, lying between the Eastern Ghats and the Bay of Bengal. These plains are wider and level as compared to the western coastal plains. It stretches from Tamil Nadu in the south to West Bengal in the north. Lake Chilika is an important feature along the eastern coast(The Chilika Lake is the largest salt water lake in India. It lies in the state of Odisha, to the south of the Mahanadi Delta).
Deltas of many of India's rivers form a major portion of these plains. The Mahanadi, Godavari, Kaveri and Krishna rivers drain these plains. The region receives both the Northeast and Southwest monsoon rains with its annual rainfall averaging between 1,000 mm (40 in) and 3,000 mm (120 in). The width of the plains varies between 100 to 130 km (62 to 80 miles) [1].
It is locally known as Northern Circars in the northern part between Mahanadi and Krishna rivers and Coromandel Coast in the southern part between Krishna and Kaveri rivers.

Collective Concerts Presents
Hundred Waters, Kodak To Graph
The Great Hall
1087 Queen Street West
Toronto, ON, M6J 1H3
Doors 8:00 PM / Show 9:00 PM
This event is 19 and over
Braids, the Canadian experimental pop group who released
Native Speaker
in 2011,
have reinvented themselves in the making of their second full length. After 18 months
of touring in support of
their debut, along with the departure of a band member, the
group secluded themselves in their Montreal studio for a year of writing and recording.
Native Speaker
was written in an organic and live environment, the group sought
to explore a more introspective and electronic approach to songwriting. Sonically, the
from these sessions
are delicate and tight, yet
open up to the rich
lushness reminiscent of their older material. Lyrically they are honest and vulnerable,
demonstrating the group's emotional growth and maturity since their last record.
As they head out in anticipation of their sophomore album – due Fall 2013 – their new
songs will be played, fully live, in an exciting time in music as the gap between real and
synthetic narrows, leaving room only for the pure energy driving the performance.
The quartet's members Nicole Miglis, Trayer Tryon, Paul Giese & Zach Tetreault played together in various formations as far back as middle school, but it took until adulthood and 2012 for them to become Hundred Waters. Living under one roof meant the band had a communal mentality, yet each maintained their own distinct projects, borrowing here and there from each other. It was in interpreting a friends' music together that they discovered the power of their combination, and they quickly fell to work reorienting their lives around an album. The music they found was a beautiful blend of contradictions, mournful yet colorful, introverted yet aware, and brought the tradition of songwriting to a strange future. Initially released by their local label Elestial Sound, their self-titled debut soon became seen as the sound of Florida, drawing loose comparisons to Stereolab, Four Tet, and Bjork. Soon it attracted the most unlikely of label bosses, Skrillex, who signed the band to his OWSLA label that same year and gave the album a full-scale release, with remixes by Araab Muzik, Star Slinger, and TokiMonsta. Since then the band has taken its live show around the world, touring with artists such as Grimes, Julia Holter, Alt-J & the XX.
Allured by pulsing incantations of cassette grain & VHS blips, live instrumentation and other found sounds, Kodak To Graph's Michael Maleki (22) delicately floats listeners through blooming clouds of synth-washes, haunting reverberations, and propulsive rhythms. Maleki's candle-waxed R&B & flower-trailed soundscapes weave together the nostalgic tones and colors reminiscent of a quiet childhood with the urban bounce and rhythmic disposition of the more modern spirit.

I need to find two mobile workstations for a little company.
One of them will be used as a designer machine (mainly in AutoCAD LT and Solidworks), the other will work with office and browsing the web, but sometimes (also when out of office) will open CAD drawings, modify little things (labels etc.) and print/plot.
We would like to use docking stations (if possible), external input devices and big external displays (28").
I think i5 or i7 could be fine with 4(or 8-16?)GB RAM and dedicated VGA with at least 1G RAM. Maybe SSD could speed up the config.* If it counts (I think it does) we intend to use 2013 LT version.
Price: around 1500 USD.
Also I am searching for the best solution for CAD plotting (A0 size drawings). Which brand/model is the best?
*I am afraid it could push up the price also. A 480GB SSD is USD400-500. A laptop with two bay could be an ideal choice (one for a little 64GB SSD-system drive and one for 2,5" 320GB normal drive-data)
I am not sure if we use only basic functions and 2D modelling with LT version the graphic card is not so important. I mean yes, it has to be dedicated with at least 1G RAM but not so important to be a NVIDIA Quadro FX 2000/3000/4000 whatsoever.
Maybe computing power and RAM are more important factors in performance. I am not sure, just asking, you should be so kind to answer me
Many thx!
Don't buy a Toshiba. Ever.
Very brief advice, thank you
Actually I am thinking on Asus. K75VM, K95VM, K55VD, K56NZ and others. All of them has got i7-3610QM, 8GB/1600MHz RAM and different display sizes and big SATA disks. I wonder only if Nvidia GeForce GT 540M/610M/630M/650M with 2GB dedicated memory is enough or I need to find something with Quadro?
Hardware Discussion area:
Autodesk Supported Graphics Cards List and drivers:
For 2013 get a laptop you would not taking a hammer to, because 2013 will turn any system into one.
Thank you, I have already seen them.
HW forums about laptop requirements are dead (aprox.). There is no hot topic. Could you drop me a link to a topic where there is some living discussion?
The mentioned graphics card list is about fix machines. Anyway I can hardly believe ATI Firepro and NVIDIA Quadro is the only two choice I can run 2013 LT. LT means light with simplified functions. Maybe I am wrong. I can find tests about video cards (http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/high_end_gpus.ht
Which is more important? CPU speed? Number of CPU cores? RAM size? RAM speed? Video speed? Video RAM size? What is the minimum?
I found some ideal machine (at Lenovo W530 or Dell M4700 or HP EliteBook 8570W), but they are a little bit pricy, maybe I can go with a lighther version with another graphic card, not Quadro. Another lappy (Asus N56VZ) with GeForce GTX 650M is also a good choice, but is it good for AutoCAD too, who knows?
Sorry, I do not understand your opinion. Pls. be more detailed. It is a new laptop-new license combination, so we are talking about AC2013 LT version by the way. Maybe I can find some old package at Amazon, but Autodesk does not intend to sell me older versions.
Thank you, I appreciate your efforts! Actualy I have read them all through before I start this new thread. Now, after I checked many configs and product specifications I found this statement very important: "Quadro FX is useful if I intend to use many 3D graphics" which I do not want with 2013LT, so I am fine with a gamer card, or even I am in better position with a gamer (less expensive) card.
I made my hints, the client made the order, we will see, what we get and I will give you guys some feedback.
Thank you again!

Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:more than 1 month
Pros:Got alot of adapter cables, making it possible to use any of my TX.

Great and a lot easier then the soundcard hack way to connect the TX to the computer.
A little plastic.
Is just put together with 4 plastic dowels.
Came with 2 burned CD with illegal copies of simulators.
Would be great if it could handle Aerosim RC (The only sim i've tried that it couldn't handle)
Bottomline:Works with the TGY 9x but don't forget to remove the transmitter unit (or modify it) otherwise it won't work. Perfect if you can't afford to crash and repair your RC all the time.

As a British colony until 1997 and Special Administrative Region of China, Hong Kong has created a popular culture completely unique to East Asian metropolitan living. This is demonstrated, in part, by the rich cinema tradition that has been continually exported from Hong Kong since the late 1970s, which bore films that distinctively combined East and West. While the region has produced some of the most memorable martial arts and action films of the late 20th century, the "Hong Kong New Wave" also witnessed the emergence of several great dramatists including Stanley Kwan, Yim Ho, Ann Hui and, of course, Wong Kar-Wai. For someone unfamiliar with Hong Kong firsthand, Wong's films provide a resonant, bewitching, perhaps even definitive portrait of the city. In his international breakthrough Chunking Express, the densely populated metropolis's kinetic movement and globalized circuits are accentuated by the film's restless camera and Cranberries-infused soundtrack. In the Mood for Love stages several intimate meetings of traditional and contemporary life in the claustrophobic corners in an exponentially vertical Hong Kong. The dizzying 2046 presents a Hong Kong ever at the concurrent precipice of the past and the future. With The Grandmaster opening wide this weekend, Wong's dramas now meet with that other signature Hong Kong genre, the martial arts film, providing as good of an opportunity as any to explore what makes his work so distinctive. So here's some free advice (for fans and filmmakers alike) from the director who somehow convinced us that beauty lies in a slow […]
Fantastic Review: 'Underwater Love' Has Undead Human Turtle Sex and Undead Human Turtle is All One Person
Fantastic Fest By Adam Charles on October 4, 2011 | Be the First To CommentFor those a little unfamiliar with the Pinku films of Japan, imagine if late-night Cinemax ("Skinemax" as we affectionately call it) movies were released theatrically. Soft-core porn with a story, if you will, and sometimes even shot by such renowned cinematographers as Christopher Doyle as this film was. Now, take that image and paste it into a typical fairy-tale story of a princess and her prince charming having been turned into a frog. Only, replace a frog that eats flies with a human-sized turtle-like-thingy called a "kappa" that eats cucumbers. And replace transformed Prince with reincarnated friend from high-school. And replace a kiss to break the spell and return back to human form with a fleshy grapefruit-sized pearl you gotta stick up your butt.
36 Films: In the Mood for Love (2000)
Features By Landon Palmer on September 5, 2010 | Be the First To CommentFor 36 days straight, we'll be exploring the famous 36 Dramatic Situations by examining a film that exemplifies each one. From family killing family to prisoners in need of asylum, we brush off the 19th century list in order to remember that it's still incredibly relevant today. Whether you're seeking a degree in Literature, love movies, or just love seeing things explode, our feature should have something for everyone. If it doesn't, please don't make us stare longingly at Maggie Cheung without being able to do something about it. Part 28 of the 36-part series takes a look at "Adultery" with Wong Kar-Wai's In the Mood for Love.
Criterion Files #453: Chungking Express
Criterion Files By Landon Palmer on June 30, 2010 | Comments (1)Sixteen years after the release of Chungking Express – the film that placed Wong Kar-Wai firmly and what seems to be permanently in the realm of international auteurdom – it is repeatedly remembered and recounted as an exercise in Cannes-friendly urban arthouse cool, specifically in its constant comparisons with the style-heavy and suave work of early 60s Godard; Amy Taubin called Chungking Express the Masculin-feminin (1966) of the 1990s, and Tarantino has made vague comparisons to Breathless.

The first episodes of "Team Wild", a 26 part programme aired weekly on YOTV, has had a fantastic reception. At a recent screening in Skukuza, it had adults and children alike laughing and learning about the unique experience of growing up in the Kruger National Park, and in the process, exploring issues pertaining to biodiversity and conservation in a fun and informative way. Three local children from Skukuza Primary School present the series. The inserts will be part reality, part documentary, aimed at 6 to 9 year old viewers.
Each programme covers different animals, their behavior and aspects of nature. The SABC, like SANParks, is very particular that the content, information and stories should always be "adventurous" and "fun" but must remain factual and accurate at all times. The programmes will see our Skukuza presenters telling the young viewers about game capture, biodiversity surveys, fishing adventures, bird watching and what it's like to grow up in the Kruger National Park.
"We are very excited about this opportunity as we feel that it will expose the Kruger National Park to a whole new audience of younger viewers, while also showing them that the children living in the Park have a completely different way of life from kids living in the cities" says Antoinette Goosen of SANHU. But perhaps most importantly, it will create the opportunity and platform to expose these kids to nature and conservation issues at an early age.
So who will get to lead the show? Kayla Yelliah, Katekani Hlongwane and Timothy Whitfield showed the most talent for the challenging role of presenter and they will be leading "Team Wild" and their viewers through the next 26 adventurous programmes.
With filming being done on location in the Kruger National Park, a specialized and experienced film crew is needed. The Southern African Natural History Unit (SANHU) is a husband-and-wife team of Jacques and Antoinette Goosen, who are fully equipped with high quality television and photographic equipment and have considerable experience in regional, local and international television productions. SANHU has been based in the Kruger National Park since 1999.
Director and specialist cameraman Jacques Goosen has more than two decades of experience in filming natural history and travel programmes during which time he has worked on several well-known programmes, such as Parklife Africa, for both the local and international market.
Antoinette has been in the television industry since 1985. As a freelance production manager/producer, Antoinette was a contributing producer for programmes such as "Lets Go" and "Eco Act". In 1997 she worked on "Great African Wildlife Rescue/Animals on the Move", a 13 part series produced for the Discovery and Disney Channels, and thus became involved in the fascinating world of wildlife filming. With this formidable team, Team Wild is going to be an exciting series!

pleted their baccalaureate and meet the other stated requirements prior to admittance to the teacher preparation program. Several of the state's universities do allow undergraduates to enroll in teacher education programs with the provision that these requirements be met prior to formal enrollment in a program and student teaching. Upon completion of most teacher preparation programs, candidates are awarded a preliminary license that is valid for five years.
There are several different kinds of preliminary teacher licenses in California, and most institutions offer preparation for several of the licenses. The most common licenses granted by the state are the Multiple Subject Teaching Credential and the Single Subject Teaching Credential. The Multiple Subject Teaching Credential authorizes public school teaching in a self-contained classroom in preschool, kindergarten, grades 1 through 12, and classes organized primarily for adults. Secondary school teachers are granted a Single Subject Teaching Credential, which authorizes teaching in a departmentalized classroom. Single subject credentials are issued in 13 different subject-areas, and the holder is authorized to teach only in the subject area(s) listed. Due to the diversity of student enrollment in California, the state has also instituted a multiple- and single-subject certification with either a cross-cultural, language, and academic development emphasis (CLAD) or bilingual, cross-cultural, language, and academic development emphasis (BCLAD).
Although the higher-education institutions have enhanced/added to their teacher preparation programs, there continues to be a shortage of teachers. To assuage the need for licensed teachers, the state of California granted initial licensure to some 5,000 teachers from out of state in the 1997–1998 school year. The same year the California legislature passed a number of provisions that eased the transition of teachers from other states into California. The state also granted 31,061 emergency permits and 4,791 waivers in the 1997–1998 school year (out of the total 63,418 initial licensures granted by the state). Teachers must be working toward receiving initial licensure while on internships, emergency permits, or waivers. Several programs have been developed to support teachers with emergency or internship certification while they seek initial licensure. Each type of program is highlighted below.
Many higher-education institutions in the state have entered into a partnership with local school districts and established university internship programs. The programs are designed to provide participants with classroom experience while they are enrolled in the academic teacher preparation program. A candidate is issued a "university internship credential" once enrolled in a California Commission on Teacher Credentialing-approved internship program, with verification of employment from the relevant school district. University internship credentials are offered in several areas, including Multiple Subject Teaching,

KITCHENER — Steve Spott is juggling four lineups.
There's his daily roster as coach and general manager of the Kitchener Rangers and now — as skipper of Canada's world junior hockey team — a trio of options on the table.
"We have three ghost rosters right now," said Spott, who leaves town Dec. 9 to tend to national team duties in preparation for the 2013 world junior hockey championships in Ufa, Russia.
"The first list has everybody on it, what we feel is our best 23 players. The second has a combination of guys who could start in the NHL and guys we feel may be back. The third one has everybody in the NHL."
The ongoing labour dispute between NHL owners and players is holding up the process. If the stalemate continues, Canada's world junior lineup could be star studded for the tournament, which runs Dec. 26 to Jan. 5. Think Edmonton Oilers' centre Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, a first overall draft pick from 2011, backed by Kitchener native — and Winnipeg Jets selection — Mark Scheifele and Boston Bruins' property Dougie Hamilton on the blue-line, among others.
Team Canada could be boosted by Rangers' defenceman Ryan Murphy and forward Matt Puempel. Both are expected to earn invites to the tryout camp Dec. 10. Three others are already en route to Russia — Radek Faksa (Czech Republic), Tobias Rieder (Germany) and goalie John Gibson (USA).
And, of course, Spott, whose latest stint is just another in a long list of posts he's had with Hockey Canada. He coached the nation's gold medal winning Under-18 side in 2011 and also snagged silver as an assistant with the 2010 junior squad that lost to the U.S. in overtime.
But being Canada's top dog in Russia is another level.
"The most popular question I get is 'why are you doing this?' " he said. "Every coach's dream is to work with the national junior team. It's an incredible honour."
Rangers' fans can rest assured that Spott won't be shrugging off his day-to-day gig. The 44-year-old will be in constant contact with team brass throughout his month-long absence, a time that also coincides with the lead up to the Ontario Hockey League trade deadline. Assistant GM and associate coach Paul Fixter and assistant coaches Troy Smith and Mike McKenzie will run the show at the Aud while he's gone.
"My line of communication with the (Rangers) office will be daily," said Spott.
Don't expect to see a different leader in Ufa. Spott says he isn't changing his coaching style. That means Canada's juniors will have to be responsible in their own zone, work hard and expand their roles.
"Every one of these kids is a premier player," said Spott. "The challenge as a coaching staff is getting these players to accept less for the greater good."
Hockey Canada is pulling out all the stops to make sure the focus remains on the ice. Team chefs are tagging along to prepare familiar food while the outfit has even hired sleep experts and purchased special tanning lamps to help players adjust to the climate in the southern Russian city, near the Kazakhstan border.
"We're probably dealing with 24 hours of darkness," said Spott. "Our bodies are motivated by light. We have a pretty detailed plan on how we will deal with that, with some artificial light during the day."
The pressure is on Spott and the lads to deliver. After all, the nation hasn't struck gold at the tournament since 2009.
"I'm looking forward to the challenge," he said. "I can't wait to get going."

Wednesday, July 30 10:08:10
Aer Lingus today lifted its 2014 profit guidance, reinstating an earlier forecast six weeks after it downgraded it, saying recent trading trends would help it meet the target after all.
Aer Lingus said it once again expected 2014 operating profit to be at least in line with the 61.1 million euros it made last year.
The company in June downgraded that profit forecast by 10 to 20 percent, warning that industrial action by cabin crew had damaged its bookings for the next few months.
"We've placed a number of trading and marketing initiatives into the business which have successfully restored consumer confidence across our transatlantic, our Ireland to UK and our capital cities market," chief revenue officer Mike Rutter told reporters on a call.
Shares in Aer Lingus, which before trading opened on Wednesday had fallen 13 percent over the last three months, were 4 percent higher at 1.384 euros.
In the second quarter, Aer Lingus said operating profit rose 33 percent to 38.7 million euros, despite a 10 million euro hit from the strikes in May and June.
The company said profits in the second quarter were boosted by a strong performance in its long haul division, where it carried 24.1 percent more passengers.
Aer Lingus's upwards revision of its annual profit guidance is in contrast to the story at some larger, European airlines.
Air France-KLM warned this month its 2014 profit could be as much as 12 percent lower than previously forecast, mainly due to overcapacity and weak prices, while Germany's Lufthansa last month lowered its profit targets for the next two years.

The Dalite 58 x 104" Advantage Electrol Projection Screen is designed to have the case installed during the "rough-in" stages of construction and the fabric assembly during the finish stage. This permits you to take your time in choosing the proper screen finish for your installation. It also facilitates changing surfaces should your needs change since you will not have to remove the entire casing from the ceiling. This is a real money-saver since you will not have to purchase an entire new screen system. Its handsome white powder coated closure doors and case provide a clean look and allow easy installation of ceiling tiles.
The motor is oiled for life and possesses an automatic cut-off mechanism that helps prevent burnouts. In addition, the screen features a sophisticated braking system that stops the screen in either up or down position exactly where you want it. When the screen retracts behind its doors, the motor automatically cuts off and shuts down the entire system.
This item contains the Screen Fabric ONLY. Screen Box sold separately
Note! The standard Advantage model will also be ceiling recessed. It doesn't have the motorized door which is featured in the Deluxe model. Instead, the Standard version has a 2" slot on the bottom where the fabric drops out.
- Patented in-the-roller motor mounting system for quiet operation
- As screen formats change with technology, fabric replacement is simple and inexpensive
- UL Plenum Rated case
- Matte White fabric up to and including 10' high will be seamless; Glass Beaded fabric up to and including 8' high will be seamless; Video Spectra 1.5 and High Contrast Matte White fabric up to and including 8' high will be seamless; High Power fabric up to and including 6' high will be seamless

Desi Sangye Gyatso
Desi Sangye Gyatso (1653–1705) was the fifth regent of the fifth Dalai Lama (1617–1682), who founded the School of Medicine and Astrology on Chags-po-ri Hill (or 'Iron Mountain') in 1694[1] and wrote the Blue Beryl (Blue Sapphire) treatise.[2][3] The name is sometimes written Sangye Gyamtso.
By some accounts, Sangye Gyatso is believed to be the son of the fifth Dalai Lama.[4] He ruled as regent, hiding the death of the Dalai Lama, while the infant sixth Dalai Lama was growing up, for 16 years. During this period, he oversaw the completion of the Potala palace, and also warded off Chinese politicking. Eventually, the discovery of this deception was not taken kindly by the Kangxi Emperor of the Qing dynasty.
He is also known for harboring disdain for Drakpa Gyeltsen. According to Lindsay G. McCune in her thesis (2007), Desi Sangye Gyamtso refers in his Vaidurya Serpo to the Lama as the "pot-bellied official" (nang so grod lhug) and states that, following his death, he had an inauspicious rebirth.,[5]
Iron Mountain[edit]
The medical college at Chagpori (lchags po ri; "Iron Mountain") was designed for monastic scholars who would, after learning esoteric arts of medicine and tantrism, mostly remain in the monastery, serving the public as would other monk scholars and lamas. In 1916, Khenrab Norbu, physician to the 13th Dalai Lama, sponsored the construction of a second secular college of Tibetan medicine and Astrology, the Mentsikhang. Mentsikhang was designed as a college for 'laypersons' who would, after receiving training, return to their rural areas for work as doctors and educators.
Six herbs[edit]
Six medicinal substances were in common use in Tibet when they appeared in the Blue Beryl Treatise:[7][8]
- Arabic frankincense (Burseraceae) (see on the left, top-left corner)
- Mongolian garlic (see on the left, top-middle)[citation needed]
- Chinese quince (Pseudocydonia) (see on the left, top-right corner)
- Indian embelic myrobalan (Terminalia chebula) (see on the left, bottom-left corner)
- Tibetan ginger (see on the left, bottom-middle)[citation needed]
- South Chinese Kaempferia galanga (see on the left, bottom-right corner)
Popular culture[edit]
- The Deer and the Cauldron (鹿鼎記): a wuxia novel by Louis Cha. In the story, Desi Sangye Gyatso became the sworn brothers with the novel's main protagonist Wei Xiaobao and the Mongol Prince Galdan Boshugtu Khan (葛爾丹).

A five-alarm fire ripped through an apartment complex in Elmhurst on Monday night, injuring seven people.
The blaze broke out just after 6:30 p.m. on the top floor of the six-story building, located at 41-72 Judge St.
It took the 200 firefighters called to the scene nearly three hours to get the flames under control. According to the FDNY, crews had trouble reaching the fire because of abandoned cars, snow-covered roadways and high winds, which acted as fuel for the flames.
By the time firefighters got to the building, the flames had spread into the opening between the ceiling and the roof that is often filled with lumber, according to published reports.
The Red Cross was also on hand to help out victims.The organization provided housing and hot meals to 50 displaced residents at a local shelter that was set up at PS 89, located at 85-28 Britton Ave. The shelter is scheduled to remain open until the building is reopened or alternative housing is provided.
"We are available to people who need a safe haven," Red Cross spokesperson Anita Slazberg said.
The entire complex has been evacuated for now, but residents could be back in their homes sooner than anticipated.
"We are working with the New York City Building's Department and our contractors to return our residents to their homes as quickly and safely as possible," stated Roxanne Donovan, a spokesperson for Kaled Management, the company that owns the building.According to management, the undamaged wing of the complex could be operational by Thursday.
As far as the fire-damaged apartments, "it is too soon to tell" when residents will be able to return to their homes, according to Donovan.
"We are thankful that there was no loss of life in the fire and we are grateful to the New York City Fire Department for their heroic work in protecting our residents and the neighborhood," she added.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
Four firefighters and three civilians were injured in the blaze. None of the injuries sustained were considered life-threatening.

2004 Toyota Corolla S 1.8L from North America
You'll wonder why you ever considered another
Absolutely nothing!! If you're tired of bringing your car to the dealer for problem after problem...you'll love this car.
General Comments:
Purchased new, S model was only 5-spd on lot..I'm not a fan of tacked on "aero" kits, but it's growing on me. I drive a great distance for work, and now have over 56,000 miles on this car in app. 14 months of ownership!! I have not experienced one single problem. Yes there is a great deal of road noise, and a few MINOR creaks now and again... but this is still an "ECONOMY" car, costing under 16,000-loaded-out the door. Compared to my Nissan Sentra made in 1988, this Corolla feels almost lexus like. I'm 6'4" and 285lbs. with a muscular frame, and I fit well. After regular trips of 350 miles non-stop..I arrive none worse for the wear. Gas mileage is a little weird... In warm months it's between 36 and 40mpg hwy... in colder months it's between 30 and 34mpg hwy. No change in driving style, just a drop due to climate change. I still feel that the mpg is outstanding.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
Review Date: 9th February, 2005
17th Feb 2005, 16:54
Of what relevance is the reviewer's weight and frame type to the evaluation of the car?
26th Feb 2005, 14:26
I think his weight and frame size is very relevant, as I've heard the Corolla is a tight squeeze for a larger person. I'm about as tall as he is and I'd like to know if he feels cramped in the car. Is the steering wheel too close? How about the range of adjustment for the driver's seat? Is it easy to get in and out of? Any comments would help, as I'm seriously looking at a Corolla for my next car. Thanks!

I drove the Mitsubishi Outlander GT at the launch in Palm Springs, CA last November and was fairly impressed with its on-road prowess. During the product presentation, Mitsubishi repeated more than a couple times that this updated GT version is gunning for SUVs like the Subaru Outback. Having driven both vehicles back-to-back now, I can say with no regrets that the Outlander GT is closer than ever to the Outback, but not quite close enough to persuade buyers to jump ship.
Why? For the price, the interior quality and refinement of the Outlander is not up to par with the Subaru. Granted the leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift lever are nice touches. But there are too many hard plastics around you, rattles coming from the back where a tiny, I mean tiny, 3rd row seat is; and the knob-less radio with push-button controls gets annoying. However, any vehicle noise you may hear can easily be muted by the 710-watt Rockford Fosgate audio system. Other impressive standard features include a moonroof and HID headlamps, neither come standard on the Outback.
Where the Outlander really gains ground to the Outback is on the road. Even with snow tires, the Outlander GT has far better steering response, overall handling, and feedback to the driver.
If Mitsubishi can find a way to get a better quality interior, it might have a good chance to steal some buyers.

Gibson CEO Henry Juszkiewicz, WSJ, excerpted at PoliceMisconduct.net:
In America alone, there are over 4,000 federal criminal offenses. Under the Lacey Act, for instance, citizens and business owners also need to know – and predict how the U.S. federal government will interpret – the laws of nearly 200 other countries on the globe as well. Many business owners have inadvertently broken obscure and highly technical foreign laws, landing them in prison for things like importing lobster tails in plastic rather than cardboard packaging (the violation of that Honduran law earned one man an eight-year prison sentence). Cases like this make it clear that the justice system has strayed from its constitutional purpose like stopping the real bad guys from bringing harm.
Harvey Silverglate says that while Juszkiewicz is right as far as he goes, he's seeing only part of the picture. Earlier on the Gibson raid and Lacey Act here, here, etc.

…there is one item in the collection [of the late New York dealer Ileana Sonnabend], a work by Robert Rauschenberg that cannot be sold. It contains a stuffed bald eagle and under the terms of the 1940 Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act and the 1918 Migratory Bird Act, it is a felony to "possess, sell, purchase, barter, transport, import or export any bald eagle — alive or dead." The estate, advised by three experts, including one from Christie's, therefore, valued the work at zero. The IRS decided it was worth $65 million, and is demanding $29.2 million in taxes and $11 million in penalties because the heirs "inaccurately" stated its value.

The 1972 Marine Mammal Protection Act bans feeding protected dolphins, seals and whales. A grand jury has now indicted licensed marine biologist Nancy Black, who sought to record the behavior of killer whales by rigging attachments to some killed prey that the predators were in the process of eating. Black's attorney says she also faces a charge of lying to federal investigators because when asked to turn over evidence she gave them footage of the incident that she had already edited for reasons unrelated to the investigation.

About a dozen lawn care companies have gotten an organic lawn state "seal of approval."
About a dozen Capital Region lawn care companies have gotten an organic lawn state "seal of approval" since the program was launched during the summer of 2010, according to the Department of Environmental Conservation. Statewide, the Be Green Organic Yards NY program has signed up 112 businesses so far, said DEC spokeswoman Lori Severino. In return for the designation, companies agree that when providing Be Green services they will not use synthetic herbicides, insecticides, insect growth regulators, fungicides, rodenticides or molluscides for customers who want organic lawn care. When DEC launched the program, the Capital Region had recently lost its only solely organic lawn care firm, and organic advocates said the region was ripe for such businesses to blossom. Now, there are Be Green-certified companies in Rensselaer, Schenectady, Glenmont, Wynantskill, Latham, Delmar, East Greenbush and Amsterdam. Union College in Schenectady, as well as its graduate college, are also certified under the program. A listing of all certified businesses, which completed a state-mandated training course, can be found online at www.dec.ny.gov/public/65354.html. If firms start a lawn customer on an organic care program, that program must continue for at least that season, or the company will lose the Be Green label. For the rest of the article, click here.

Kass: The Rabbi and the Oracle
This column originally appeared on Real Money Pro at 7:53 a.m. EDT on June 4.
NEW YORK ( Real Money) -
"The nice thing about an agnostic is you don't think anybody is wrong."I spent two months researching for my questions that I asked at the Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A - Get Report)/ (BRK.B - Get Report) annual shareholders meeting in early May. My challenge was a difficult one, as both Warren and Berkshire have previously been analyzed widely and comprehensively. As a result, I felt part of my process should be to interview a number of individuals who knew Warren Buffett but not on a business level. Some of those interviews were revealing and, in part, formed the basis of the questions I finally asked Warren and Charlie. I learned quite a lot about Warren and Berkshire -- some things little-known. This morning I wanted to pass on what I think is the one of the nicest tales I learned about, one that is not well-known and has a beautiful ending. It is the story of the relationship between Rabbi Myer Kripke and Warren Buffett. (Heartfelt thanks to Radine and several others who initially related the story to me.) Kripke came from a middle-class family in Toledo, Ohio. He travelled to New York City 83 years ago to attend New York University and the Jewish Theological Seminary on 122nd Street. At the Jewish Theological Seminary (the flagship institution of the Jewish Conservative movement), he met a Brooklyn girl, Dorothy Karp, and they married seven years later at the Seminary. The couple had little money and the Seminary didn't charge the couple for the wedding. Kripke, then a rabbi, worked at synagogues in Racine, Wisconsin; Long Island, New York; and New London, Connecticut. In the mid-1940s, he became the rabbi at Beth El Synagogue in Omaha, Nebraska. (Dorothy and Myer Kripke are the parents of three children, including the noted philosopher, Princeton University's Saul Kripke. In the early 1960s, while performing his rabbinical duties, Rabbi Kripke's wife authored several books on Jewish studies and beliefs. One of the books, Let's Talk About God, was read by Warren's wife Susie. (Susie Buffett's father was a minister in the Disciples of Christ Church, and Warren Buffett's parents were Presbyterians. Warren is religiously agnostic.) After learning that the Kripkes lived around the corner from the Buffetts, Susie telephoned Dorothy Kripke, and they soon became good friends.

John Williams (water scientist)
John Williams (FTSE)[1] is an Australian scientist whose life work has been in the study of hydrology and the use of water in the landscape and farming, including land salinity.
His story was told in part on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation's TV documentary series, Australian Story, on 6 June 2005.[2]
John Williams, the scientist, is a member of the Wentworth Group of Concerned Scientists, in creating a rational debate on Australia's water resources.
He was Chief of the Division of Land and Water, CSIRO (Australia's premier government research organisation), in Canberra in the Australian Capital Territory, when he retired in 2004. He served earlier at the CSIRO laboratries at Townsville in Queensland where, among other things, he studied the Great Artesian Basin and the transport of water from the Great Dividing Range into the outback of Queensland and New South Wales.
He also served as Adjunct Professor in Agriculture and Natural Resource Management at Charles Sturt University, and Chief Scientist and Chair of the New South Wales Department of Natural Resources' Science and Information Board.
Williams was also Commissioner of the New South Wales Natural Resources Commission[3][4]
Media comments[edit]
In a front-page, feature article in the Canberra Times on 2009-07-07, John Williams was reported[3] saying there should be a 60 percent cut in water use across the Murray-Darling Basin, and the Snowy Mountains Scheme that diverts water to the Riverina should not be exempt from water savings.
In 2012, Williams has been interviewed for commentary on the Murray-Darling Commission report.[5]
Current Activities[edit]
Williams is, as of 2012:
- an Emeritus Professor and research associate at the Australian National University;[6]
- making commentary on environmental matters.[5]
- Farrer Memorial Medal for achievement and excellence in agricultural science (2005).
- Fellow, Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering (FTSE) (26 November 2011)[1]
Williams grew up on a family farm in the Snowy Mountains region of New South Wales. He attended school in Queanbeyan near Canberra, before attending university in Sydney.
