Amaravati is a town in Guntur District of Andhra Pradesh, India. It is located 19 miles north of Guntur City. It is also referred as Amareswaram, for its famous Amareswara temple dedicated to Lord Siva, which is one of the famous Pancharamas.[1] It was formerly known as Andhra Nagari.[2] Krishna River passes through the east side of Amaravati.[5]
The recorded history of Amaravati and nearby Dharanikota dates to 2nd century BCE.[6] It was the capital of Satavahanas who ruled from 2nd century BCE to 3rd century CE. After the decline of Satavahanas, Andhra Ikshvakus and later Pallava kings ruled Krishna river valley. Subsequently, Eastern Chalukyas and Telugu Cholas held sway over the region. Kota Kings were in control of Amaravati during the medieval times. Kota kings were subdued by Kakatiyas in 11th century CE and Amaravati became part of the unified Telugu empire. The Skanda Purana gives a picture of the place and the Siva temple located here.[7]
The stupa[edit]
The region between Krishna and Godavari rivers was an important place for Buddhism from the 2nd century BCE with Amaravati being one of them. Buddhist stupa was built during the reign of Ashoka in 200 BCE, was carved with panels that tells the story of Buddha. The discovery, misuse and destruction of the sculptures, preservation, distribution to various museums (Chennai, Calcutta, London, Masulipatnam etc.) have been poignantly described by Shimada.[8] During the period of the decline of Buddhism, this stupa was also neglected and it was buried under rubble. There is a 14th-century inscription in Sri Lanka which mentions repairs made to the stupa and after that it was forgotten. The stupa is related to the Vajrayana teachings of Kalachakra, still practiced today in Tibetan Buddhism.[9] Dalai Lama of Tibet conducted a Kalachakra initiation at this location in 2006.
Ancient art[edit]
Art historians regard the Amaravati art as one of the three major styles or schools of ancient Indian art, the other two being the Gandhara style and the Mathura style. Some of the Buddhist sculptures of Amaravati betray a Greco-Roman influence that was the direct result of the close trade and diplomatic contacts between South India and the ancient Romans. Indeed, Amaravati has itself yielded a few Roman coins. The Government Museum at Egmore (Madras Museum) and British Museum, London host the "Amaravati Gallery".[11]
Chinese traveller and Buddhist monk Hiuen Tsang (Xuanzang) visited Amaravati in 640 CE, stayed for sometime and studied 'Abhidhammapitakam'. Xuanzang wrote a glorious account of the place, Viharas and monasteries that existed.[12]
Amaravati School[edit]
In Amaravati, situated in the eastern Deccan, a different type of art form evolved and flourished for nearly six centuries commencing from 200-100 BC. Patronized first by the Satavahanas and later by the Ikshvakus and also by other groups (feudatories, officials, and merchants), four periods of activity are easily discernible.[13]
The Amaravati school of art occupies a pre-eminent position in the history of Indian Art. With its beginning in 3rd century BC the Amaravati unfolds its chapters through the galaxy of sculptural wealth that once adorned the Mahachaitya the majestic monument of the Buddhists situated here with its history extending over a period of a millennium and a half.[14]
The city is located at 16°34′N 80°22′E / 16.567°N 80.367°E[15] on the south bank of Krishna river.
As of 2011[update] Census of India, the town had a population of 13,400. The total population constitute, 6,432 males and 6,968 females —a sex ratio of 1083 females per 1000 males. 1,321 children are in the age group of 0–6 years, of which 647 are boys and 674 are girls —a ratio of 1042 per 1000. The average literacy rate stands at 71.34% with 8,617 literates, significantly higher than the state average of 67.41%.[4][16]
Tourist places[edit]
The Amareswara (Siva) temple walls have lot of inscriptions that give information about the kings who ruled over the area. The present holy shrine of Amaralingeswara (Lord Siva) temple is associated with the reign of Vasireddy Venkatadri Nayudu who ruled the region before the advent of the British rule (See Amararama). He was well known for his benevolence, munificence and construction of a large number of temples and education centers in the Krishna river delta.[17]
It is reachable by road or by boat / coracle on the Krishna River. It is connected by the Amaravati road from the heart of Guntur. It is 46 km south west of Vijayawada. Gannavaram, north of Vijayawada is the nearest airport.
The people speak Telugu. The common traditional clothing for women is a Saree and for men a Panche or a Lungi and Uttariyam. The town was given a hagiographic portrayal in the famous short story series Amaravati Kathalu by Satyam Sankaramanchi. The stories describe the contemporary culture of local people during the reign of Vasireddy Venkatadri Nayudu and also post-independent times.
The town is a center of pilgrimage to both Hindus and Buddhists. Amaravati is also famous for the temple dedicated to the god Siva. The main Hindu festivals celebrated are Mahasivaratri and the Navaratri. The 30th Kalachakra festival, a popular Buddhist ritual was held at Amaravati in the first week of January 2006.

March of 2014 in the La Crosse HSA saw below to much below normal temperatures and precipitation, with below to above normal snowfall.
Periods of warmer temperatures around the 13th and 14th and the 18th to the 22nd produced melting snow which resulted in moderate to strong within bank rises on many of the streams and rivers of the HSA during the 2nd and 3rd weeks of the month. Localized ice jamming produced some minor flooding in far southwest Wisconsin on the 15th. Some locally heavier rains on the 27th combined with the snowmelt runoff produced bank-full conditions and minor flooding along portions of the Kickapoo River in southwest Wisconsin on the 28th and 29th.
March 2014 precipitation was much below normal across the northwest third of the HSA and below normal elsewhere. A pair of weak lows brought light to moderate snowfall to much of the HSA from the 3rd to the 5th. Another low brought some light rain to mainly the central and south parts of the HSA on the 11th. A passing low brought light rain or snow to much of the HSA on the 18th and 19th. A cold front and upper level disturbance produced light snow across much of the HSA on the on the 24th into the 25th. A stronger low combined with increased moisture from the Gulf of Mexico produced moderate to locally heavy rains across mainly the southeast half of the HSA on the 27th.
Normal March precipitation ranges from around 1.75 inches across the north end of the HSA, to near 2.25 inches across the far south end. Totals for March 2014 ranged 40 to 50 percent of normal across the northwest and north ends of the HSA to 50 to 75 percent of normal across the central and south portions of the HSA. Most precipitation totals during March were 40 to 60 percent of normal. Extreme totals recorded for the month ranged from 0.54 inch at Mondovi in Buffalo Co. WI and 0.56 inch at Lake City in Wabasha Co. MN, to 2.05 inches at McGregor in Clayton Co. IA and 2.19 inches at New Hampton in Chickasaw Co. IA.
March snowfall was generally below normal across the northeast half of the HSA to above normal across the southwest half. Monthly totals were mostly 4 to 8 inches across the northeast half to 6 to 10 inches across the southwest half. Normal March snowfall ranges from 4 to 6 inches across the south end to around 10 inches across the north end. Snow totals for this month were mostly 60 to 110 percent of normal.
March 2014 temperatures averaged 22 to 28 degrees. This was 6 to 8 degrees below the normals, making it one of the 20 to 25 coldest Marches of record. Temperatures were below and much below normal from the 1st to the 9th, but for one near normal day on the 7th. Temperatures cycled above to below normal every 2 to 3 days from the 10th to the 21st. Readings were again below and much below normal from the 22nd to the 29th, with one near normal day on the 27th. The month ended with above normal temperatures on the 30th and 31st. Extremes for the month ranged from lows of -10 to -30 on the morning of the 3rd, to highs in the 50s and 60s on the 31st. The 2nd and 3rd of the month were a couple of the coldest March days ever recorded.
Flows in the rivers and streams of the HSA were near normal during March. Abnormally dry to moderate drought conditions remained across much of the WI portion of the HSA at the end of the month. Due to the below normal temperatures most of the month, snow depths, ground frost depths, and ice cover on the rivers, streams and lakes of the HSA were mostly above, deeper and thicker than normal at the end of the month.

Hagel's tough talk gives China pause ahead of Obama's Asia trip
Published on Apr 9, 2014 8:35 PM
BEIJING (REUTERS) - In one of the many frank exchanges US Defence Secretary Chuck Hagel had in China this week, General Fan Changlong told him how one of his uncles died as a slave in a Japanese mine during World War Two.
General Fan, the deputy head of China's powerful Central Military Commission, spoke about the lessons of history, signalling Beijing's concerns that the United States was siding with Japan against China.
Mr Hagel replied by saying his own father had helped fight Japanese forces in World War Two.
"The secretary made it very clear that we should be informed by history but not driven by it," a US official told Reuters, speaking on condition of anonymity to recount a conversation on Tuesday that he described as terse.

"The United States, which currently imports around 20 percent of its total energy needs, becomes all but self-sufficient in net terms - a dramatic reversal of the trend seen in most other energy importing countries," it said.
The forecasts by the IEA, which advises large industrialised nations on energy policy, were in sharp contrast to its previous reports, which saw Saudi Arabia remaining the top producer until 2035.
"Energy developments in the United States are profound and their effect will be felt well beyond North America - and the energy sector," the IEA said in the annual long-term report, giving one of the most optimistic forecasts for US energy production growth to date.

Abe pledges more help in cleaning up Fukushima leak
PUBLISHED: 07 Aug 2013 21:34:50 | UPDATED: 08 Aug 2013 04:58:04PRINT EDITION: 07 Aug 2013A worker walks in front of water tanks at Tokyo Electric Power Company's tsunami-crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. Photo Reuters
Japan's prime minister says the government will get more involved in cleaning up the crippled Fukushima nuclear plant, as he described as "urgent" a battle to stop radioactive water from leaking into the ocean.
The government's more prominent role comes as critics slam plant operator Tokyo Electric Power and its handling of the more than two-year-old atomic crisis, the worst nuclear accident in a generation.
The embattled utility - kept afloat by a government bail-out - last month admitted for the first time that radioactive groundwater had been leaking outside the plant, confirming long-held suspicions of ocean contamination from its shattered reactors.
It has since said tainted water has been escaping into the Pacific for more than two years.
On Wednesday, an official at Japan's industry ministry said Tokyo estimates a whopping 300 tonnes of contaminated water from a newly discovered leak site may be seeping into the ocean.
"But we're not certain if the water is highly contaminated," he added.
The damage from toxic water leaks at Fukushima remains a key question mark.
However, they have triggered fresh worries over the plant's precarious state and TEPCO's ability to deal with a growing list of problems after its reactors were swamped by a tsunami in March 2011, sending them into meltdown.
The company has also faced widespread criticism over its lack of transparency in making critical information public since the disaster.
On Wednesday, premier Shinzo Abe said his government would beef up efforts to help with the expected decades-long clean up, which has largely been left to TEPCO to handle.
"Stabilising the Fukushima plant is our challenge," Abe said at a meeting of the government's disaster task force.
"In particular, the contaminated water is an urgent issue which has generated a great deal of public attention."
Abe -- whose Liberal Democratic Party wants to restart the country's switched-off reactors if their safety can be assured -- said the clean-up would no longer be left to TEPCO alone. He also called for "swift and steady measures" on the toxic water issue.
Tokyo would now help foot the bill, Abe said, the first time that it has committed extra funds to deal with the growing problem.
The vast utility is already facing billions of dollars in clean-up and compensation costs over the accident.

I really greatly admire this person even though I do not understand one single word that he has ever said in his Videos.
I have watched MANY of his 500+ Videos. He is a true survivor.
If the SHTF Tomorrow - his family would just go right on happily living like it was just another day.
I learned how to make SHTF sandals from an old car tire from him and my "next project" is making one of these.
This is a great one of his Videos and shows just how effective the truly primitive weapons can be in practiced/skilled hands.
He makes me not want to waste a single day by not learning how to do something new every day.
There is another Video (one of many) of his that is just incredible also.
So I am going to sticky this thread and keep it open for discussion. Please....Try hard not to side track it too badly.
In order to get members to watch his Videos and develop a few true critical primitive survival skills - in a few weeks I will choose one exceptional post in this thread and the member that I select will get a special gift compliments of yours truly.
Let the games begin.
Moderators may participate in the thread but, will be excluded from winning the prize.

Photo Report: Inside Blancpain's New Boutique On Fifth Avenue In NYC
September is almost here, and that means we're about to enter the middle of a great time for watch lovers in New York City. This fall we will see the launch of some kick-ass monobrand boutiques here in the city, including A. Lange & Söhne, Jaeger-LeCoutlre, and Blancpain. Just last week, we were invited into the new Blancpain store on Fifth Avenue for an early look (though doors are open to the public now). Here you will see a quick photo report of the new 1,700 sq. ft. boutique located at 645 Fifth Avenue.

At the end of January, the NACCE Leadership Team traveled to (normally) sunny Florida to attend AACC's Workforce Development Institute. While there may still be some who argue that workforce development is a separate conversation from entrepreneurship education, I disagree – as would many of the other cutting-edge organizations and movements dedicated to spurring job creation and innovation through entrepreneurship, such as the Kauffman Foundation, the Maker Movement, , and WalMart/Sam's Club. I talked briefly about this while I was onsite at WDI. Click here to watch the video.
One of those examples is with the "Slingshot Network" of colleges. NACCE has been working closely with AACC and the Kauffman Foundation for over a year with a select group of colleges called the Slingshot Network. The concept of the "slingshot effect" is to convene and support the brightest and most effective colleges together, led by the Kauffman Foundation with guidance from AACC and NACCE for a series of "collision" activities to launch their individual campuses on more creative and faster trajectories than they could achieve alone. In doing so, these Slingshot colleges will create optimal models for other campuses in the NACCE member community to chart their own course.

This is my favourite make-up product ever. Like, no exaggeration. Beautiful, long-lasting colour in a neat and tidy container. I have never found a better, more classic and timeless red. I don't have perfectly white teeth, so I have to be careful that I don't wear orangey-reds as these make my teeth look more yellowy, but this lipstick doesn't cause yellow-looking teeth! Simply stunning.

I do like this lipstick, however, if I wear it for a prolonged period of time, it settles into my lip lines. It is a bit drying, but I expected that from a matte lipstick. The shade is perfect on my skin tone, but I hate how orange it looks in photos! If you need a blue-based red lipstick for photos, do not buy this. The price of this lipstick isn't too bad. I don't consider this to be a "high-end" product. (It's only $15). It is my HG red lipstick. I have tried many, many drugstore "dupes" and they've all not been able to replicate the quality of this lipstick.

Since I already own about 5 good brand red lippies I hesitated on this.... But none of the others were quite 'right'. They were either a shade off, or bled/didn't stay on, whatever. Then I heard about this lipstick vs Ruby Woo so I went to MAC asking about both. I wanted a perfect true-to-coolish red that was kinda dry so it would stay ON MY LIPS!! Well she said ruby woo was soooo drying and so pink it might pull somewhat magenta w my red hair, and definitely suggested RR. She said it too was dryish and would stay on but had a teensy bit more of a sheen. Well my MAC gal didnt steer me wrong. This red DELIVERS. As other reviewers have stated, it stays perfectly in your lip line til bedtime. All u have to do is freshen up a tiny bit after eating or whatever. It is SO GREAT!!! It is VIBRANT. I will never be w/o this perfect perfect red!!! It takes coconut oil to get it off ( well that's what I use to remove makeup at night). If you're looking for a great red run don't walk to MAC and try Russian Red!!!

Just bought this today. I already had the Limited Edition MAC Viva Glam Cyndi, but I found it too sheer and it never lasted long at all. I wanted a classic red lip that would stay perfect looking. I bought this at a MAC store today, then applied it while I was in a Sephora...within seconds of walking off after, I was complimented on it by one of the Sales ladies. I have eaten dinner and taken a shower while wearing this and it hasn't budged or faded at all! In fact I'm sitting here in my pajamas with it still on! Perfect red lipstick!

red has always been the lipstick i couldn't conquer...they were always too pink, too orange, they just weren't 'right'. i always found them to be glossy so i spent all my time worrying the colour was bleeding all over my face and making a mess, which made me self conscious all day. then, i found Russian Red. the first time i put it on i thought, seriously? ive found it? the perfect, pure, deep red? oh yes i have. pair it with a cat eye and you've got some serious retro stuff happening. i actually just lost my tube and have been devastated (can't buy mac where i live)-next time i'm out of town, mac will be my first stop for another tube. a must buy if you're serious about finding a great red lipstick.
Like almost everyone said, this is the best red lipstick and I wore it at my wedding day. The bold matte red result makes my face looks fresh even though I didn't wear eyeliner.

I repurchased this recently and fell back in love. I prefer it to Ruby Woo, and it's a gorgeous deep red, makes teeth look super white and matches my porcelin skin perfectly. Very matte, very long lasting. I recommend exfoliating and moisutrizing lips before application, as well as using a lipliner.

Hull City Steve Bruce has completed the signing of Cork City defender Brian Lenihan for an undisclosed fee.
With the Tigers looking to strengthen their squad before the transfer deadline, the 20-year-old right full-back, who has been capped by the Republic of Ireland at U19 level, has penned a three-year deal at the KC Stadium following two seasons with the League of Ireland outfit.
"Brian is a young player who has had a wonderful season in Ireland," said Bruce, who believes Lenihan is an exciting addition for the future. "It's going to be a big step up for him coming here but he's a player we'll try to develop. He fits into our criteria of trying to find some very, very decent young players to bolster what we've already got here. "He's one for the future and he's only really been playing for a year in the Irish league. He's a right-back standing at 6'2" and a really good athlete who can get up and down the pitch.
"We've beaten off a lot of competition to get him and I'm very pleased about that."

A Crash Course in SDL
We've seen how to draw pixels directly to a surface, and there's no reason one couldn't create an entire game with this alone. However, there is a much better way to draw large amounts of data to the screen. Our next example will load an entire surface from a file and draw it with a single SDL surface copying function. The code can be seen in Listing 3.
Listing 3. Drawing Large Amounts of Data to the Screen
As you can see, the bitmap file is loaded into memory with the SDL_LoadBMP function. This function returns a pointer to an SDL_Surface structure containing the image, or a NULL pointer if the image cannot be loaded. Once this file has been successfully loaded, the bitmap is represented as an ordinary SDL surface, and a program can draw it onto the screen or any other surface. Bitmaps use dynamically allocated memory, and they should be freed when they are no longer needed. The SDL_FreeSurface function frees the memory allocated to a bitmap.
The SDL_BlitSurface function performs a blit of one surface onto another, converting between pixel formats as necessary. This function takes four arguments: a source surface (the image to copy from), an SDL_Rect structure defining the rectangular region of the source surface to copy, a destination surface (the image to copy to), and another SDL_Rect structure indicating the coordinates on the destination that the image should be drawn to. These two rectangles must be of the same width and height (SDL does not currently perform stretching), but the x and y starting coordinates of the regions may be different.
Games often need to simulate transparency. For instance, suppose that we have a bitmap of a game character against a solid background, and we want to draw the character in a game level. It would look silly to draw the character as is; the background would be drawn too, and the character would be surrounded by a block of solid color. It would be much better to draw only the pixels that are actually part of the character and not its solid background. We can do this with a colorkey blit. SDL provides support for this, and it even provides support for run-length colorkey acceleration (a nice trick for speeding up drawing). RLE acceleration provides an enormous performance boost for blitting colorkeyed images, but this is only practical for bitmaps that will not be modified during the course of the program (since modifying an RLE image necessitates unpacking and repacking the image).
A colorkey is a particular pixel value that a program declares to be transparent (in SDL, this is done with the SDL_SetColorKey function). Pixels that match an image's colorkey are not copied when the image is blitted. In our example of a game character, we could set the colorkey to the color of the solid background, and it would not be drawn. Colorkeys make it simple to combine rectangular images of non-rectangular objects.
In the next example we will use a colorkey blit to draw an image of Tux against another image [see Listing 4, available at ftp.linuxjournal.com.pub/lj/listings/issue81/]. Tux is stored against a solid blue background, and so we will use blue (RGB 0, 0, 255) as our colorkey. For comparison, we will also draw the same penguin image without a colorkey.
SDL assigns a "virtual keysym" to each key on the keyboard. These codes (integers) map at some level to the operating system's keyboard scan codes (which in term map to the codes produced by the keyboard's hardware), but SDL takes care of the mapping behind the scenes. SDL provides a preprocessor symbol for each virtual keysym; for instance, the Escape key corresponds to the symbol SDLK_ESCAPE. (You can find a list of valid keysyms in SDL's documentation.) We use these codes whenever we need to directly check the state (up or down) of a particular key, and SDL uses them when it reports key events. Virtual keysyms are represented by the SDLKey data type.
Since we won't be messing with the event interface for now (indeed, we haven't really even mentioned it), we'll need to ask the keyboard explicity for its current state whenever we need to know about a key. A program can obtain a snapshot of the entire keyboard in the form of an array. The SDL_GetKeyState function returns a pointer to SDL's internal keyboard state array, which is indexed with the SDLK_ keysym constants. You only need to call this function once; the pointer remains valid for the duration of the program. Each entry in the array is a simple Uint8 flag indicating whether that key is currently down. You should call SDL_PumpEvents periodically to update the data in the array.
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Nondegenerate mirrorless oscillation in silicon waveguide |
Optics Letters, Vol. 36, Issue 20, pp. 4113-4115 (2011)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (346 KB)
We propose nondegenerate four-wave mixing mirrorless oscillation in a multimode silicon nonlinear waveguide. Thanks to the large modal dispersion between two spatial modes caused by the high-index-contrast waveguide structure, two counterpropagating pumps of one spatial mode can generate two new optical waves of the other spatial mode at different frequencies. The phase-matching condition can be satisfied with the higher-order modes involved; therefore, frequencies of the newly generated light can be tuned by simply changing the pump frequency. The threshold power and conversion efficiency of the proposed mirrorless oscillation are investigated under different waveguide parameters.

Kiper's 'Grade: A' draft
Three full rounds of picks -- 100 in total -- but this time Mel is the GM
For this, I'm the GM -- for every team. Typically I'm asked to project picks. But for the "Grade A" draft, I make them. Each pick I select what I might for that team, in that spot, based on who is gone and who is available. Best outcome for each team at each spot.
The ground rules
1. At each slot, I make a pick in the best interest of only the team with the pick. I won't pass on a player at No. 5 just because I like how he fits better at No. 7.
2. There are no trades. I note team needs, but not all picks are specifically to hit a need -- same as the draft.
3. This is NOT A PROJECTION. It's more a look at how I currently value players at each slot.
You'll find the roundup for each team's draft haul below, but I've also included a pick-by-pick version so you can see how the order of the picks progressed and get an idea of who was off the board when each team selected.
Pick-by-pick Rounds 1 through 3.
Top needs: QB, RT, OLB/DE
Round 1 (Pick No. 1) DE Jadeveon Clowney, South Carolina
Round 2 (33) QB Jimmy Garoppolo, Eastern Illinois
Round 3 (65) CB Bashaud Breeland, Clemson
Analysis: Quarterback is obviously a big need, but I'm simply not willing to forgo the high likelihood of stardom for Clowney -- at a critical position no less -- for the risk associated with taking one of the available quarterbacks so high. It's simply too big a leap in terms of value on my draft board. I'm not going to worry about system fit. Romeo Crennel and Bill O'Brien are smart enough to find a way for Clowney to be effective -- and he will be special. I consider Garoppolo a potential NFL starter, possibly a good one with O'Brien's guidance, and with one star in hand I'll take him ahead of Derek Carr early in Round 2. It's a little ahead of where I have him rated overall, but again, the value associated with the position is factored in against scarcity, and I take my shot. Cornerback isn't a huge need, but I like value for Breeland there, and it's impossible to have too many effective corners in the NFL of 2014. I think the pick at No. 1 represents not just how special Clowney is, but that this team is too good on paper to be waiting on a rookie to develop on the job. Take one at No. 1, and that's what you get.
Top needs: WR, S, RT, LB

Customer Raves & Reviews
Lovely Invitation, great design team!
Tender Tendril Foldover Pockets I really love this invitation (and everything about magnet street as I have ordered several items for our wedding using the "tender tendril" theme). I changed the colors to match my wedding colors and the complete invite is gorgeous. Classic with a modern twist. The design team centered the actual invite words for me and changed the font to the script (because I wasn't able to center and get the font correct myself). They did a fantastic job, and it was done super quickly. I chose the luxe pearl, because I do think that extra shimmer is a really nice touch. (The thought to go to the luxe pearl was that outside of my save the date magnets six months ago, this will be the first impression of our wedding, and I wanted to make sure people knew this will be a lovely event.) I read other reviews from some brides about the ink being a problem (running or smearing) on this invitation, and they were right - some of the invites had ink smears on them or the edges were pushed in, causing me not to use those invites. I ordered 125 invites, needing 96 total, and I probably wasn't able to use 25 of them because of the above listed problems. Also, I did have to buy extra stampage for these (I did three step cards, an RSVP envelope, vellum band, and vellum sheet) - luckily, USPS has 70 cent wedding stamps that you can order online, so that really wasn't a big deal, but just know that it's a possibility going in. I haven't actually sent the invite yet, but a few people have seen them (and helped me do the folding and stuffing), and they all have said they are really beautiful. Overall, I am super pleased. Just order extra, and it's a great choice!
Save the Dates and Wedding Invites
Antique Filigree Pocket Invitations We ordered our save the dates and wedding invitations from Magnet Street and we are very satisfied! The formats they provide give you tons of options and ideas. We changed the colors and paper material (switched to the luxe pearl it is definitely work the extra money and isn't too shiny) from what was originally provided with our chosen format and it is gorgeous. We also paid to have return addresses and guest addresses printed on the invitations, definitely worth the extra cost and made our life way easier. Everything came on time and I would highly recommend Magnet Street to everyone!!!
So amazing
Tender Tendril Foldover Pockets I just have to say I got my save the dates and my wedding invitations and they were both amazing. It was so easy to customize them online and once I ordered them they were here in no more than a week. I did need to change something after I approved them and they were able to change it for me. There is nothing that was not perfect! Highly recommend!
Absolutely Beautiful!
Hawaiian Turtle Pocket Invitations The invitations were everything my fiancé and I wanted, and more. I am incredibly pleased with every aspect of the invitation, and with how prompt delivery was. These are probably the nicest invitations for a wedding I have ever seen!
Excellent quality.
Forever Yours Pocket Invitations My daughter and I were very happy with the quality of the cards. The customer service department were so very helpful and knowledgable. I would highly recommend these cards for all my family and friends. You will not be disappointed.

Match Preview
Mowbray in hunt for keeper Middlesbrough boss Tony Mowbray has launched a desperate search for a goalkeeper ahead of the npower Championship clash with Derby. Jason Steele tore a stomach muscle during Saturday's 5-2 defeat at Reading and has been ruled out for six to eight weeks, while Danny Coyne is still two to three weeks away from returning from a back injury. Eighteen-year-old Connor Ripley made his senior debut as Steele's replacement at the Madejski Stadium, but Mowbray has spent the last 48 hours or so engaged in an as yet fruitless quest to land an experienced loan signing. Striker Scott McDonald missed the Reading game with a virus and will be assessed on Tuesday, while Julio Arca is likely to miss out once again with toe and knee problems. Stephen McManus, Jonathan Franks and Luke Williams (all ankle ligaments), Andrew Davies, Matthew Bates and Justin Hoyte (all hamstring), Kevin Thomson (hairline leg fracture) and Willo Flood (knee) remain on the sidelines. Derby travel to the Riverside Stadium with new injury problems. The Rams halted a run of five successive home defeats with a goalless draw against Barnsley. Gareth Roberts played through the pain barrier on Saturday. The left-back was rated at 50/50 to face the Tykes due to a shin injury that had ruled him out of the previous two matches but managed the full 90 minutes. Manager Nigel Clough must decide whether to risk Roberts again or bring in someone else. Fellow defenders Dean Leacock (illness) and Russell Anderson (hamstring and calf) remain sidelined along with midfielder James Bailey (groin). However, Anderson has been given the all-clear to resume training. The versatile Miles Addison, midfielder Ben Davies and forwards Alberto Bueno and Steven Davies could come into the side should Clough wish to make changes.

Match Report
Zemmama rocks Rams Merouane Zemmama's 89th-minute winner helped ease Middlesbrough's relegation fears as they came from behind to clinch a vital 2-1 victory against Derby. The Moroccan's deflected strike from the edge of the box was his first for the Teesside club and ensured Boro claimed all three points. Jamie Ward had put the hosts in front from the spot in the first half after he had been felled by Nicky Bailey in the area. However, Seb Hines grabbed an equaliser for the hosts before Zemmama struck to help in Boro's fight against the drop. In truth it was no less than they deserved as they completely dominated the tempo of the second half following a dour first period. Although Boro remain just two places above the danger places, they are now six points clear of 22nd-placed Scunthorpe. With Jason Steele and Danny Coyne both injured, Tony Mowbray gave a debut to Paul Smith, having signed the goalkeeper on-loan from Nottingham Forest earlier in the day. The former Baggies boss was desperate to tighten up at the back having seen his side concede 15 times in their last five league matches - which included a 5-2 hammering at Reading over the weekend. However, Boro's troubles have not been in front of goal as they have also found the back of the net on nine occasions in that time. And it was Rams shotstopper Frankie Fielding who was forced into action early on as he did well to grab the ball at the feet of Scott McDonald who had burst through on goal. That was about as entertaining as it got in the opening half hour but Boro were undone with Derby's first meaningful attack on goal in the 32nd minute. Theo Robinson's dink over the top put strike partner Ward clean through on goal but, before he could strike, he was recklessly bundled over by Bailey, who rather fortuitously received only a yellow card. Ward himself stepped up and powered his kick straight down the middle to leave Smith with no chance. After being booed off at half-time, Boro came out all guns blazing after the interval, with Bailey firing over and Leroy Lita unfortunate not to be able to get a touch on Barry Robson's teasing delivery. However, only an offside prevented them falling two behind. Stephen Pearson burst forward on the left-flank and his cross left Conor Doyle with the simplest of finishes, but after heading home, the winger found he had strayed beyond the last defender. Lita, who had notched four goals in his last five appearances, McDonald and Marvin Emnes all forced smart saves from Fielding, while Rhys Williams' header was cleared off the line. Their pressure eventually told and Hines gave Boro a lifeline in the 74th minute. McMahon's free-kick on the left channel was headed goalwards by Hines at the back post and although Derby's John Brayford got the final touch, it was awarded to Hines. Backed by the boisterous crowd, the hosts sensed victory and only a magnificent save from Fielding from Robson's header kept the scores level. However, it was all in vain as substitute Zemmama snatched a winner at the death. After McMahon's ball into the box had been cleared to Zemmama on the edge of the area, the defender's deflected strike found the back of the net to the delight of the Riverside faithful.

My Hefeweizen has been fermenting for one week. I was curious what it taste like at this stage so i decided to test it out. It smells amazing, just like it should but it had a stronger alcohol taste than i was expecting. Is this normal at this stage? I would use my hydrometer but I've already managed to break it :fail: what exactly will the second week of fermenting do for my beer?
It's very green right now still, only after a week. Even if it is done fermenting, it can still have an alcoholic bite to it that will mellow out with conditioning. EDIT: And rock on Anne Arundel County!!
It'll mellow. I freaked out about my first batch. You just have to learn patience before you sneak a bottle for your first taste test (difficult, I know).

Sharon Day of Fort Lauderdale said Monday she's seeking a second term as Republican national committee co-chairwoman, the No. 2 job at the national Republican Party.
"As we move our Committee forward, it will be vitally important to create new relationships and enhance our current relationships with individuals and groups who share our beliefs, our values and an interest in our Party's success. If we are to win elections, our efforts must be unified toward a common goal. As Party leaders, our great cause and our mission is to preserve our nation for the next generation and that is why I am running for re-election," Day wrote in a letter to Republicans.
After moving to Fort Lauderdale in the early 1990s, Day quickly rose through the Republican Party ranks in Broward, the state and nationally. She's Broward's elected Republican state committeewoman and Florida's national committeewoman and has served as national party secretary.
Day, 61, is an uber Republican – so much so that for most elections, she pays to have her car shrinkwrapped – like some city buses – to tout the year's top Republican. And her dog, a black and white cockapoo, is named "Reagan."
In October, her husband, Larry, died.

PHOENIX -- It's being called the "intense exchange"' between President Barack Obama and Gov. Jan Brewer that took place right after the president landed in the Valley Wednesday.
Brewer said when the president got off of Air Force One, she hoped to talk to him about jobs and border security, but she says he changed the subject to her book, "Scorpions for Breakfast." She said the president told her he didn't like how she portrayed him in her book, and that it was inaccurate. They met at the White House in June 2010, and she wrote that he was patronizing and lectured her about immigration. She said the turn of conversation to her book was unexpected and she meant no disrespect.

"I hope that people will take it in the context that I was talking and I talk with my hands," Brewer said. "I was trying to explain to him, of course, why I believe that I wrote the book the way that I did because it was factual and it was truthful.
"I believe that the book is a very straightforward, honest recollection of exactly what took place at the White house," she said, calling the president "thin skinned."
The White House responded by saying that the governor did inaccurately describe her last meeting with the president, but that he would be glad to have another meeting with her and talk about helping Arizona's economy grow.
Brewer says that while she has the utmost respect for the office of the president and "would never be disrespectful in that manner," she and Obama will have to agree to disagree on what happened during their meeting in the Oval Office.
Brewer went on to say that she would have preferred it if the brief conversation had been focused on jobs in Arizona.

Erick Castro, the former general manager at Rickhouse Bar in San Francisco, makes this easy holiday punch in our You're Doing It All Wrong video. It's a flexible recipe that will work with nearly any base spirit if you don't have genever.
What to buy: Though it's also infused with botanicals like juniper, genever (a.k.a. Holland or Dutch gin) is a maltier, funkier relative of gin that mixes very well in cocktails. Anchor Distilling and Bols make good versions that can be found at any well-stocked liquor store.
- 1Pour the genever, orange curaçao, simple syrup, and bitters into a punch bowl and stir to combine.
- 2Add the sparkling water, lemon juice, and sparkling wine or Champagne just before serving.
- 3Place a large block of ice in the punch and stir gently just to combine.
- 4Grate nutmeg over top of the punch, and garnish with pineapple slices and star anise.

It's too bad you are having such a hard time trying to fly your models.
You certainly display a lot of perseverance and dedication. I would suggest that you get a Park Zone Radian glider http://parkzone.com/Products/Default...ProdID=PKZ4700 and wait for a calm day with no wind. You will then probably be rewarded with a successful flight. |

Your really a good sport about all this. I would also add to wait for little to no wind before flying again. Windy flight is possible but not for those new or afraid to destroy their planes.... ever. If the wind never dies down, I'd get a an Assassin wing or a Superfly delta wing. they take a beating and do well in wind, especially the Assassin. I did get a very good laugh out of watching, I hope that was your intent... thanks for posting that and I really did enjoy it. Had an extra laugh over your son wearing a helmet!!! OMG, that was awesome! |

I loved the part at 4:18 where, after we watched you almost lose a finger, you then try to hand launch and hold the plane with the prop next to your face for about 5 seconds, in what seems to be about 20mph winds which, as we saw before, blew the plane out of your hands.
Was funny to watch, initially I felt bad for you but after watching you do the SAME thing OVER and OVER I began to think "If you always do what you alway did, you'll always get what you always got." I have a terrible feeling that someone in your video is going to get seriously hurt soon, either you or the poor kid standing dangerously close to your uncontrollable plane. |

She said "You blew my mind last night." and I said "nah, I just blew my load." and her mom heard.
