More Progress for Equality in Delaware: House Approves Marriage Legislation
April 23, 2013 by HRC staff
Post submitted by Karl Bach, Former HRC Senior Regional Field Organizer
We're one step closer to marriage equality here in Delaware: the state House of Representatives just passed HB 75, the bill giving loving gay and lesbian couples the freedom to marry, by a 23-18 vote.
Rep. Melanie George Smith has been a true ally in leading the fight to get this legislation passed. Next, the Senate will vote on the legislation, and then it heads to the Governor's desk for signature. Governor Jack Markell is a stong advocate for equality, and he's vowed to sign the bill into law.
We've been on the ground in Delaware working around the clock to make sure lawmakers hear from their constituents and know just how strong the support for marriage equality is. We'll make sure we keep working until all loving and committed same-sex couples in Delaware have the freedom to marry.
A strong majority of Delaware voters – 54 percent – support marriage equality. Prominent religious, civil rights, corporate, and labor leaders in the state also support the legislation.
If you live in Delaware, it's not too late to reach out to your lawmaker and encourage them to support marriage equality.
To learn how you can get more involved in the campaign to win marriage for gay and lesbian couples in Delaware, email Karl at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Dutchess Community College is authorized by the Board of Regents of the University of the State of New York to award the following degrees and certificates:
Programs that lead to this degree are designed for those students who plan to receive a baccalaureate degree from a senior college or university. The A.A. degree may be completed in two years and consists primarily of courses in the liberal arts and sciences, special liberal arts and science courses related to the student's major field of interest, and electives.
These programs are designed primarily to prepare students to continue their education for the baccalaureate degree in scientific or professionally related programs at a senior college or university. The A.S. degree may be completed in two years and consists of a core of liberal arts and science courses, additional required special courses related to the student's field of interest, and electives.
These programs may be completed in two years and prepare their graduates for immediate employment in specific occupations or careers. Many graduates, however, do transfer some or all of their credits toward more advanced study at a senior college or university. The A.A.S. degree consists of a basic core of liberal arts and science courses, special courses related to a specific career area, and electives.
DCC offers two types of credit certificate programs: an Academic Certificate and an Applied Academic Certificate.
The Academic Certificate includes career-oriented courses and at least nine credits of liberal arts courses.
The Applied Academic Certificate includes career-oriented or technical courses and at least one liberal arts course, ENG 101. Certificates may be of varying length. However, it is expected that the majority of certificate programs can be completed in one calendar year. Courses in certificate programs are applicable to associate degree programs at DCC.

English trio Sarandon's latest album is a sweeping 32-track affair compiling the band's four mini albums. At 32 songs it's an epic, er, 44-minute album! Yes, these songs barely squeak over a minute and are of the crisp, angular rock variety a la Gang of Four and especially The Futureheads if they learned their craft in a garage. Songs such as "Pin Up" and "Birds" are well-crafted, bouncy, punchy ditties while "Frank" seems to up the ante somewhat with its quirkiness. Singer and guitarist Crayola shines on the frantic and hellacious "Bored" that sounds like a British version of The Hives. As with any 32-track album, there are some miscues such as the aptly titled "Hiccup", but "Politique" quickly redeems those errors, even if they sing about licking legs and loving oranges. "Mavis" meanwhile resembles an unfinished Arctic Monkeys b-side while "Don't Say No" is a horn-tinged, fun-filled rave-up romp. Second half gems include "Manky" and "Health" with its precise groove and rat-a-tat-tat drumming. Another sleeper pick is "Kitten" that picks things up again after some rather ordinary tunes while "Angela" could be mistaken for Guided By Voices.

Where to take my Daughter for her 21 BDay?
- 13 Comments
- Follow
We live in Glenside. Some place hip, not BYOB and real good. She likes almost everything, she loves to cook. She loves to go to Chinatown, loves italian. We've been to NaBrasa, she loved it , but at 5'2 and 120 she didn't exactly overwork the Gauchos. She changes her mind everyday, one day its the Cheesecake factory (informal), the next William Penn Inn (she wants to dress up), next Amada (big fan of Iron Chef).... and so on. I think she browses Chowhound a little too much, lol.
5 of us, Heather, me, mom, brother (23), probably her boyfriend (21) if he can get off work.
Oh yeah, Its got to be a Tues or Wed night.
My husband and I recently enjoyed Amada for our anniversary, and it sounds like it might be perfect for your group. It's very chic, has sophisticated cocktails, TERRIFIC food (the only thing that didn't wow us, believe it or not, was the suckling pig special - but everything else was amazing). We have had small plates before and it's just such a festive way to eat. If I were turning 21 again, I'd want to go to Amada. :)

I think a more hip place for an Iron Chef fan of Jose Garces would be Distrito in University City at 40th & Chestnut. Great food, young hip atmosphere.
re: Den
Seconded, Distrito is perfect - fun and tres chic but more importantly good food and impeccable service
re: AgentRed
See if you can reserve the VW bug for seating... But check to see if you can fit 5 in it. It's a fun touch.
re: xtian
The VW Bug is fun and a good idea but there's no way you can fit five people in there!
I've said it before and I'll say it again...If you have more than 4 people and you want to go to Amada, pre-order the roasted pig. Great choice for a festive occasion.
If you still want to stay with Jose Garces, Distrito would be a fun second choice.
re: Philly Ray
Distrito is fun and yummy and it is said that the iron chef himself is often there on Tuesday nights. Having said that, Amada is my fave and still trying to get a group together for the suckling pig!!
Distrito was the first place that came to mind reading your post. It has such a fun, celebratory feeling. For a non-iron chef place, I'd suggest Zahav. It is also fun for a group, good drinks and excellent food.
0 -
Agree with the Amada rec, if she has interest in it, you'll love it. I'd do one of the tasting menus--they start at 45--and just sit back and let them bring you plate after delicious plate.

Paradjanov, Sergei (1924-1990)
This charming picaresque tells of a plebe who gets his freedom and sets off to buy that of his wife, a fortune-teller. The film pivots on the concept that the Georgian way of life, symbolized by the besieged fortress of the title, can be saved only if a young man is willing to be walled up inside it. This metaphor for a rich regional culture threatened by an oppressive larger one was surely not lost on Paradjanov's detractors, but the film, with its gorgeous Georgian landscapes and fantastic imagery, happily, has outlived its enemies. Paradjanov's final film, Ashik Kerib (1988), was dedicated to his late friend and compadre Andrei Tarkovsky, who also suffered tremendously at the hands of reactionary Russian authorities. Based on a story by Mikhail Lermontov and shot in the Georgia/Azerbaijan area that was Paradjanov's inspiration, the film is a typical phantasmagoria of folkloric imagery whose power is heightened by a rich score of regional music. Ashik is an impoverished minstrel (played by Yuri Mgoyan, a handsome petty criminal hired by Paradjanov). He must find "bride-money" to marry the daughter of a rich Turkish merchant. This simple plot gives Paradjanov plenty of room to play as Ashik encounters a series of tests in the classic heroic mold, and play he does in such unforgettable scenes as a "wedding of the blind, deaf and dumb" at which Ashik's music entrances the participants. Ashik's search is an immersion into the transcendent beauty and power of folk culture, which Paradjanov fleshes out with vivid colors, elaborate costumes and headgear, and riotous blends of music, dance, and movement. Even the simplest images show the director's constant theme of the triumph of nature over the temporal, as when falling rose petals replace the dowry of diamonds that Ashik cannot afford. Some critics have seen Ashik Kerib as a parable for Paradjanov's oppression by the government, with the director himself represented by the hapless lute player wandering through a blasted landscape of lost souls. But this interpretation misses the celebratory, indeed transcendent quality of image and sound that are the film's driving force. If Paradjanov was not reconciled to the political abuse he suffered, it is impossible to tell from his final film. After Paradjanov's death on July 21, 1990, his home in Yerevan was converted into a museum containing some of his writings (Leonid Alekseychuk says he wrote 23 scripts and 50 volumes of diaries) and several hundred of his artworks, including some he made during his imprisonment.

Cross Fell is the highest point in the Pennine Hills of northern England and the highest point in England outside of the Lake District. It is located in the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
The summit, at 893 metres (2,930 ft), is a stony plateau, part of a 12.5 km (7.8 mi) long ridge running North West to South East, which also incorporates Little Dun Fell at 842 metres (2,762 ft) and Great Dun Fell at 849 metres (2,785 ft). The three adjoining fells form an escarpment that rises steeply above the Eden Valley on its south western side and drops off more gently on its north eastern side towards the South Tyne and Tees Valleys.
Cross Fell summit is crowned by a cross-shaped dry-stone shelter which has been damaged over the years by snow and ice. On a clear day there are excellent views from the summit across the Eden Valley to the mountains of the Lake District. On the northern side of Cross Fell there are also fine views across the Solway Firth to the Southern Uplands of Scotland.
The fell is prone to dense hill fog and fierce winds. A shrieking noise induced by the Helm Wind is a characteristic of the locality.[note 1] It can be an inhospitable place for much of the year. In ancient times it was known as "Fiends Fell" and believed to be the haunt of evil spirits. St Augustine is said to have blessed the hill when he arrived here on his travels so it became known as Cross Fell in the Christian tradition, although it has been speculated[by whom?] that the fell became known as Cross Fell ("cross" meaning "angry") because of the evil spirits.[2]
Local geography[edit]
Cross Fell and the adjoining fells are mainly a bed of hard, carboniferous limestone. Where this bed surfaces, there are steep rock faces. There are also strata of shale and gritstone that surface on the fell. On the south and west facing slopes of Cross Fell the rock faces have been broken up by frost action to give a scree slope made up of large boulders. The local terrain shows obvious evidence of recent glaciation and is covered by thin soil and acidic peat.
Cross Fell, Great Dun Fell and Little Dun Fell form a block of high terrain which is all over 800 metres (2,625 ft) in altitude. This is the largest block of high ground in England and tends to retain snow-cover longer than neighbouring areas. Snow can be found in gullies on the north side of Cross Fell as late as May in most years. In some years, lying snow has been known to persist until July and fresh snowfall in June (mid-summer in the Northern Hemisphere) is common.
Precipitation on Cross Fell averages around 280 centimetres (110 in) per year. Local flora includes a number of rare alpine plants such as the Starry Saxifrage and a mountain Forget-me-not.[3] Cross Fell is covered by what is known as "siliceous alpine and boreal grassland". It is the southernmost outlier of this vegetation type, which is common to highlands in Scotland and Scandinavia. It is a designated Special Area of Conservation (SAC). Local farmers are required to keep free-roaming sheep off the tops of the fells in order to avoid damaging the natural flora.[4]
Cross Fell is a conspicuous feature in the landscape. It dominates the skyline on almost the entire 20 miles (32 km) length of the A66 trunk road between Penrith and Stainmore. It can also be seen from Helvellyn summit in the Lake District and from high ground throughout Dumfriesshire and Northumberland.

I get excited whenever I see a new color combination for the US flag, maybe they should have a flag that changes color one a year.
Added 5 Years Ago from Urban Outfitters -
This pick is perfect for sprucing up your 4th of July decorating scheme. I love that it comes with all three colors: red, white and blue - so you don't have to buy 3 different ones.
This confetti will add pizzazz to your table-scape with minimal effort. I really like the prismatic effect of flags - they will glimmer in the warm summer sun for your 4th of July pool party or picnic.

How can I say that for folder X finder should also display hidden files/folders?
I don't think you can set this for individual folders. To set it globally, so that Finder always shows hidden files, run Terminal and enter the following two commands:
To switch back, do the same but substitute FALSE for TRUE. |
I myself use hiddenfiles widget. it's so easy to use. Beside that you can use free 3rd-party software like Deeper or TinkerTool. |

Need Your help Posted by ericbareke (ericbareke), 26 November 2007 Hi,I am trying to write a perl script which will download data from ftp://ftp.ensembl.org/pub/current_genbank/homo_sapiens/ to a specified local directory and once done uncompress them and copied to another specified directory. But I can't do it. There are 5 files ( but I need the 4 ones uncompressed): Homo_sapiens.0.dat.gz Homo_sapiens.1000.dat.gz Homo_sapiens.2000.dat.gz Homo_sapiens.3000.dat.gz Thanks in advance. Posted by deep (deep), 26 November 2007 Can suggest two ways.Use shell commands under backticks in your perlscript something like `gunzip -dvfr <Infilename >outfilename or path to it` or `zcat -v <Infilename >outfilename`; or use system () within perl. Regarding downloading the files. I think there is a module in Bioperl for that. Posted by admin (Graham Ellis), 26 November 2007 Thanks for adding those thoughts, Deep. I was actually wondering whether Eric was looking for specific help with the FTP or untar/unzip elements, or if the question was more along the lines of "please write my application for me".Eric - can you fill us in a little more - let us know if Deep's answer provides what you need or if there are other isssues .... and is so, post up sample code, etc, so that we can tune our reply Posted by ericbareke (ericbareke), 26 November 2007 Thanks for your help,I think I am far of what I hoped, I did not want to use bash commands in my perl codes. After a closer look to my codes, I found out how to solve the problem in a proper manner without using bash or shell commands. Interesting your forum.

IEM Noted as Legal Prediction Market
July 14, 2008 | Science Daily
A prediction market is a financial speculation market in which participants bet on the outcome of an event. In most cases, participants use fake money. But at some markets, including the IOWA ELECTRONIC MARKETS, it's legal to bet a small amount of real money.

Mary-Kate Olsen Is Getting a Grand Engagement Gift on the Upper East Side
We always knew that Mary-Kate Olsen had enviable design taste, but we're just a tad in awe of her NYC starter home. The fashion icon and her fiance, Olivier Sarkozy, recently purchased a $13.5 million town house on the Upper East Side that was sold by painter David Deutsch, according to the NY Post.
The 8,000-square-foot pad is part of the famed Turtle Bay Gardens, an enclave of town houses where Katharine Hepburn once lived, and hasn't been on the market since 1961. Mary-Kate has some serious decorating to do, since the house has five bedrooms, an artist's studio, and let's not forget the ballroom.

Teachers are not ready to adapt to change and some of them do not want to change at any cost, said Gayatri Pai, Headmistress, Canara English Higher Primary School.
Ms. Pai was speaking at a seminar on 'effective teacher management for school success' held by The Teacher Foundation (TTF), a non-governmental organisation that works towards empowering and developing skills of teachers and heads of schools in the city on Wednesday.
Teachers had to learn constantly and adapt to new situations continuously, said other teachers.
One school principal said that in a school with children from economically disadvantaged families, parents had high expectations from the teacher.
A headmistress said the difference between the values taught to students in school and what they were told outside the school posed a challenge for teachers.
One participant in a discussion on challenges for teachers, co-ordinated by Maya Menon, Founder Director, TTF, said while qualifications were necessary, qualities such as commitment, attitude, and dedication were equally important to make a good teacher.
Patsy Lobo, facilitator, TTF, Mangalore, said that schools must invest on in-house training for teachers. In-service training must be made the top investment head.
Unfortunately, however, in many schools, training for teachers was not seen as an investment head though money was spent on buildings, libraries, and computers.
More the number of years a teacher taught, greater was the need for training him or her, she said.

By kurt willems
May 14, 2012
Over the past few years, I've become a social media guy. I'm on Facebook, Twitter andwebsites almost every day. At times, I spend hours interacting withothers and producing web content about Jesus. This sort of engagementstimulates my mind and pushes me to explore the intricacies ofChristianity within Western culture. The Internet is a gift to my faith.
However, I've noticed a subtle and dangerous tendency with all this online activity. To explain, maybe an analogy will help.
In both my high school and college friendship groups, love boats oftentossed and turned in the turbulent winds of unstable relational tides.This ebb and flow led several people I knew into difficult break-ups withtheir significant others. Upon coping with such an identity shipwreck, many of my Christian peers found refuge in a spiritual lifeboat. Although the storms of life disrupted marital prospects, these friends found that Jesus still says, "Peace, be still."
Many times, dropping anchor with Jesus is the most appropriate response torelational woes. Unfortunately, with this response sometimes came aphrase that still bothers me today: "I'm just dating Jesus now. He's my only boyfriend."
The danger of this approach to Jesus is that it quickly becomes anemotional fix by focusing only on attaching romantic feelings toexperiences with Christ. This sort of faith quickly becomes consumedwith one's heart, filling the romantic void within, in spite of a lackof external intimate companionship. Jesus is used as an emotional coping mechanism until the next incarnated significant other comes along to set a new love boat afloat. What is lacking externally is compensated for via a metaphorical fling with the King.
Something similar happens in our online life if we are not careful.
A tendency in my life is to become consumed by the jargoning that happens in the "Christian online world." I say things like, "Can you believe what so and so said?" "That article was so deep." "I'm soembarrassed to be a Christian right now." "I've gotta let my voice beheard!" "Time to sign a petition. I guess we're not past the culture warsafter all."
By sitting in front of a laptop each day, I convince myself that such activity is adequate for getting my Jesus fix. I read inspiring items from my Facebook newsfeed, interact in theological controversies, invite folks to read my blog posts and articles—allthe while neglecting the many Kingdom possibilities around me.
An abstract, disembodied, web-based faith satisfies my longings to trulylive empowered by the Spirit of Jesus in the real world. Or so I think.
As stated earlier, the Internet is a gift to my faith. I love blogging,reading and relating to others about Jesus through social mediaoutlets. A problem emerges, however, when the online sphere dominates my Christian identity. Just like a young adult declaring Jesustheir boyfriend to fill a relational void, I attempt to get my Kingdomfill by dating Jesus online. Simultaneously, I neglect engaging in the ramifications of following Christ in my incarnated life.
Jesus invites us to be married to the tangibility of His Kingdom of love. Ibelieve that, read about it on my laptop and even sometimes buy the lie that my life is really sold out to such a vision. Often that visiondoesn't make it past my 13-inch MacBook screen. This lustful, pseudo-Gospel life sometimes cheapens the depths of what it means to internalize and externalize the love of God.
I'm done dating Jesus online. I no longer want my relationship with God and my commitment to the way of Jesus to be mediated through the web. I desire a life shaped byspiritual practices that empower me to actually do the sorts of things I write and read about in Web 2.0. Insofar as the Internet serves as a supplement to my Christian faith and not as an insufficient substitute, I still see its value.
But may I never again give in to thelie that treating Jesus as a proverbial online boyfriend will bringabout the Kingdom of God on the Earth.
Take time today to walk away from the screen and sit under a tree with your Bible. Go for a run and chat with Jesus as you pass trees, cars, birds and squirrelson the ground. Ask God how you might take Christ's love into yourneighborhood and city. And simply be with the Holy Spirit in the realworld. Maybe the online dates will give way to a Kingdom marriage, a whole life lived with and for Jesus Christ.

hey that was pretty encouraging. I love the internet and how it has been helpful to hear other people opinions and i love all the conversations its opened up. BUT I also need the reminder that while my relationship with Jesus is sometimes encouraged by internet time it's really when i spend intimate time with the Lord that I grow. Thanks.
Ahhhh, this definitely resonates with me.
Ive recently discovered that blogging has changed my prayer
lifeand not for good. I've found I've been desperately wanting God to speak to me not because I legitimately want more of
him, but because I want more to write.
Basically, Ive been praying so I have something to write
instead of writing/sharing out of the overflow of my prayer life. Ive made prayerand
my relationship with Goda means to an end--like your online boyfriend analogy.Thanks for the encouragement and the reminder that God is more concerned with our hearts their our online lives. Great article!
"This lustful pseudo-gospel-life sometimes cheapens the depths of what it means to internalize and externalize the love of God." Amen. I needed to hear this today.
Tim, I think you're completely right that Christians should not gather in "holy huddles" and avoid interacting with and loving the lost. But I think you're misunderstanding Kurt's underlying point. He's encouraging both solitude (or personal meditation which David, Jesus, and other people in Scripture seem to advocate) AND community involvement ("Ask God how you might take Christs love into your
neighborhood and city. And simply be with the Holy Spirit in the real
I don't think he's implicitly denying that Christians isolate themselves from other people in the ways you point out, he's simply suggesting that the internet is one of the biggest time-suckers we deal with today. But thanks, Tim for the reminder that there are multiple ways we avoid practical involvement in building the kingdom.
Great response. Though I'd be careful with the last statement you made. I think that there's a certian frantic nature about the internet - get your comments up first, post the latest thing, make sure you're up to date and consuming as much as possible. Whereas sitting under a tree with your bible is something that relaxes your brain, it's a source or rest (at least for me). I think you can become hyper-spiritual by consuming yourself online, but it's much more difficult to become hyper-spiritual from reading your bible too much. I think the more time you invest with God, as a relationship, non-intellectually, the closer you'll become to his humble, loving, serving character.

should we keep GUP AND LIVEUPDATE SERVER BOTH?
currently running SEPM with gup FOR REMOTE LOcation and small amount of PCs remote site 10/12/7 qty
i want to shedule content download as required interent live update server but as i read GUP failed in case of internet liveupdate env so kindly guide me how can i shedule
Comments 3 Comments • Jump to latest comment
How many Clients are in the remote site?
You live to receive the content updates from Internet or from GUP for the remote location?
You can configure GUP on remote locations. GUP will download updates from the SEPM server and it distribute the updates to the clients .
The Group Update Provider was a feature request to support designating a particular client to serve as a computer that will get content updates and publish them. This is designed to provide functionality vaguely similar to configuring a legacy Symantec AntiVirus client as a secondary server.
The computer that is downloading and publishing the content is referred to as the "Group Update Provider." The computers in the client group will use the designated "Group Update Provider" as a local proxy for content updates.

Your satisfaction is very important to us.If you find above information helpful or it has resolved your issue...please mark it accordingly :)
What version of SEPM / SEP 11 are you running?
I believe you are talking about this Issue -
The Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) client is unable to update if its Group Update Provider(s) (GUP(S)) have temporarily been unreachable.
Make sure you are running the Latest version of SEP on all machines i.e; SEP 11 RU7 MP2
I would request you to check this Article:
What happens when both LiveUpdate Server and Default Management server are configured in a LiveUpdate policy?

Don't forget to mark your thread as 'SOLVED' with the answer that best helped you.
You are right, it's not possible to schedule content with a GUP. That's because the GUP is a content proxy of the SEPM. And it's not possible to schedule the content download from the SEPM. It depends on the heartbeat and the communication mode (push/pull).
If you want the clients in the remote locations to get scheduled downloads, you have to use either internet download or LiveUpdate Administrator.
But in most cases, it's just not necessary to implement a LUA instead of a GUP. A LUA is a great tool, but in particular for large environments. Learning curve is steep. In comparison, GUPs are very easy to implement.
Can you tell us why you want to schedule the download?

Doctors say consuming energy drinkscan cause renal and heart problems
Nearly 71 per cent of people in urban areas, between the ages of 14 and 30, have a habit of consuming energy drinks, according to a recent survey by the Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India (ASSOCHAM).
Doctors and dieticians say the statistics are shocking as many children who consume these energy drinks, which promise to boost energy, appearance, performance and improve immunity and overall health, are unmindful of its ill-effects.
Energy drinks are non-alcoholic beverages containing high levels of sugar, caffeine and protein apart from guarana, glucuronolactone, taurine, ginseng, inositol, carnitine and B vitamins as main ingredients that act as stimulants.
Doctors say the high levels of sugar and potentially harmful levels of caffeine can actually harm your health. They can be linked to seizures in known epileptic individuals and behavioural disorders in children.
The high levels of proteins that break into amino acids can also cause renal and heart problems apart from other complications.
The survey conducted in major cities, including Delhi Bangalore, Mumbai, Haryana, Kolkata, Chennai and Hyderabad, had a sample size of 2,500. .
"While 82 per cent of teenagers admitted that they wanted energy drinks during exercise for extra energy, 61 per cent said they used it for better hydration and 40 per cent as they preferred the taste," said the survey.
C.N. Manjunath, director of Sri Jayadeva Institute of Cardiology, says indiscriminate consumption of energy drinks can result in renal and heart problems.
"The person can develop high blood pressure that can result in enlargement of the heart and even heart failure," he says.
NIMHANS Director P. Satish Chandra, a senior neurologist specialising in epilepsy, says high caffeine can bring down the threshold for seizures in a person living with epilepsy.
The high sugar levels result in hyperglycemia in susceptible people and hyperglycemia is known to cause behavioural problems and also seizures in children. There are various studies establishing a link between caffeine and epilepsy among known epileptics, he adds.
'Temporary rush'
Dietician and wellness consultant Sheela Krishnaswamy says energy drinks can do more harm than good."It is better to eat a plantain for quick energy. This fruit will also give essential nutrients," she says.
Pointing out that high caffeine and sugar levels in energy drinks can give a temporary adrenaline rush without any nutrition, Ms. Krishnaswamy says: "Gradually people become dependent on these drinks. Too much caffeine can cause sleeplessness, nervousness and increase blood pressure. Excess sugar can lead to increase in weight," she says.
Another city-based dietician H.S. Prema says the concept of quick energy is wrong. "Nobody requires something like quick energy. Because of boredom and monotony, people feel low. But this feeling is mostly emotional. A healthy person will not require sudden energy," she explains.
'No nutrients'
"Concentrated caffeine or substances that have neurotransmitter stimulators will temporarily rejuvenate a person who is feeling low. But it is not safe because energy drinks do not have any nutrients. When the person's body is addicted to caffeine in these drinks, it can cause nausea, headache and give a bloated sensation," Ms. Prema says.
"People also tend to skip meals as consuming energy drinks can suppress hunger," she adds.

Beer stein or simply Stein is English for the German term "Steinkrug", a traditional beer mug similar to the lighter tankard. Steins are made of pewter, silver, wood, porcelain, earthenware, or stoneware; and with open tops or hinged lids having a thumb-lever. Beer stein derives from the German words "Bier" (beer) and "Steinkrug" ('stone' + 'crock')]. When made of glass, such mugs are called Glaskrug, Makrug, or simply Ma. In German-speaking regions a stein may be known as a "Humpen" (if stoneware), "Steinkrug" (earthenware) or "Glaskrug" (glass). The origins of steins date back to the 14th century.

Exam Options and Results
The Exams
The NYU School of Professional Studies offers three different language-testing examinations to evaluate your knowledge of a language and to assign points equivalent to undergraduate credit at U.S. colleges.* Dictionaries and other reference materials may not be used. These tests do not require knowledge of technical terms or specialized vocabulary.
The NYU School of Professional Studies Foreign Language Proficiency Exam tests three skills—listening, reading, and writing— that are necessary for everyday communicative tasks. Students are required to answer questions after listening to a passage to demonstrate comprehension, to translate into English and into the test language, and to write a short essay in response to a selection of general topics. The format of some language tests may be somewhat different, requiring short answers, multiple-choice selections, or other responses. Students are given two hours to complete the entire 12-point exam.
The 16-point exam is comprised of the 12-point exam, as well as a 350-word essay on a more complex subject. In the essay, students are required to write about abstract ideas, support an argument, hypothesize, and write in longer paragraphs. Students are given three hours to complete the entire 16-point exam. Please note that a perfect 12-point score on the first part of the exam is required in order for the 4-point essay portion to be graded.
For students who elected to take the 12-point exam and later wish to be tested on the extended 350-word essay portion of the 16-point exam, we offer an additional 4-point exam. This exam is offered only to students who received a perfect score on the 12-point exam. Students are given one hour (60 minutes) to complete the 4-point exam.
* It is important to note that the actual amount of credit granted is at the discretion of the institution receiving the results. Students are strongly urged to discuss accreditation with the institution's advisor prior to taking the exam. Exam results are valid for five years from the test date. Official letters will not be mailed to institutions for tests that are more than five years old.
Exam Results
An official letter stipulating the results of the examination will be mailed to the designated institution up to eight weeks after the test is taken. The student will receive an unofficial copy of the letter.
Allow two extra weeks during winter break. Though the official letter is sufficient for most institutions, should an official transcript be required, it can be obtained from the NYU Transcript Office.

dc.description.abstract | The Performance. 'The Small Ones' examines just those: the small items, the small moments and the small memories that compose a life. It is a solo performance exploring memory and object juxtaposing live-feed projections with the body in space. The piece is a series of examinations of these memories through objects that are revealed to the audience through a live-feed projection. In 'The Small Ones', the presence of the live performer sits in stark contrast to dozens of objects that have been carefully preserved in jars. In each of these jars rests an object, but more important than the object is the memory attached. One live-feed projection invites the audience to see the small object as it is enlarged on the screen while a second live-feed projection allows for the close observation of the performer, as she shares associated texts. The digitized image allows the audience to encounter these objects in an aesthetic and heightened manner and acts as a gateway into the performance of memory. At the same time, there is an interplay between the live, living body onstage and the projected image of this body that is certainly not alive. This dance between the live body and the digital image, past experience and present memory evokes questions of mortality and pays homage to the passing of time. The Commentary. 'ENLARGING THE SMALL ONES' seeks to provide further insight into the performance 'The Small Ones'. The commentary is divided into three sections each working to elucidate different aspects of the work. Section one articulates the process of creation as recollected by the artist and details her practice-as-research into the performance of memory and its relationship to object. Section two considers the philosophical and theoretical underpinnings of the performance: the way objects are performed in the piece, the digitized image versus the live body as well as the treatment of time and duration. Section three draws conclusions from the research, contextualizing how the artist's memory has been altered through the creation and performance of the piece. | en |

Sheikhupura or Shekhupura (Hindi:शेखुपुरा, Urdu: شيخوپورہ), the ancient Singhpuria or Virkgarh, is an industrial city in the Punjab province slightly northwest to Lahore in Pakistan.
It is known for its historical places, and is commonly known locally as Qila Shaikhupura, because of the fort in the city, constructed by the Mughal Emperor Jahangir. Sheikhupura is the headquarters of Sheikhupura District. It is approximately 35 km from Lahore.
Tahsils in the District
- Sheikhupura
The history of Sheikhupura goes back to 100 BCE. Historical research has established the fact that Sangla or Sakala was the capital of Punjab once, and it was here that Alexander the Great of Macedonia (known locally as Sikandar e Azam) fought one of his most serious battles of his career. Its name is spoken of, firstly in the pages of Tuzk-e-Jahangiri as Jahangirpura, after the name of Prince Salim Nur u Din Muhammad Jahangir.
Emperor Nor-u-Din Muhammad Jahangir laid the foundation of historical Sheikhupura. In 1607, Sheikhupura was constructed following an order of Jahangir. The father of Jahangir, Emperor Jalal-uddin Mohammad Akbar use to call him Sheikhu (a nick name). During Sikh rule the new city was named Singhpuria, previously was known as Jahangirabad.
During the reign of Emperor Jahangir (1605 to 1627), Sheikhupura had the status of royal hunting ground. In Tuzke-Jahangiri, Jahangir wrote during the events in 1607:
- " On the day of Tuesday, I reside in Jahangirpura, my hunting ground. According to my order, a Minar and a grave for my deer, Mansraj, were constructed here."
Mughal Emperor Jahangir granted the estate of Sheikhupura to Syed Usman, the father of Shah Bilal, a religious preceptor of the line of Qadiriyyah.
Over the whole district, the period between the decline of the Mughal Empire after the death of Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb and the rise of Sikh confederacies was one of utter confusion and anarchy. The successive shocks of invasion from the northwest, and the devastation caused again and again by the invading armies of Nadir Shah.
Nadir Shah and Ahmad Shah Abdali (1724-1773)almost completely ruined the prosperity of the tract. After the death of Aurangazeb, Muslim power was broken by the Sikhs who ruled through various misls or small to medium sized groups. Nadir Shah and Ahmad Shah Abdali led raids that further weakened local Muslim rule. Several raids were made by the Bhangi Sardars, a Sikh community. Finally around 1780, Maharaja Ranjit Singh (Punjab), a Sikh ruler defeated the grandson of Ahmad Shah Abdali and later captured this district. The Sikhs were defeated by the British around 1850 and it stayed under British rule until independence in 1947.
In 1851, Tehsil Sheikhupura worked under Gujranwala. The Artimapal Secretary Chief Commissioner Lahore wrote a letter to the Department of Wealth in 1855 to combine the Tehsil Sheikhupura with the District of Lahore but it was never done. As soon as it became a District Zillah, a lot of lawyers came to practice. Under of Sir Ganga Ram, district courts and hospitals were constructed in the city.
Jats History
According to the historians, the present-day city of Sheikhupura in the province of Punjab (Pakistan), was the site of Virkgarh till the Mughal emperor, Jahangir built the city of Sheikhupura. The epical ancestor of Virks, Raja Virk Vardhan, was a ruler of the area with its capital being the present-day city of Sialkot, Punjab (Pakistan). The eastern extent of his Raj included Amritsar, which, still, belongs to the Virks.
A majority of Virks live in the Sheikhupura district and some are scattered in Sialkot District. There is a small village "Virk" in Sialkot inhabited by Virk Jats. Virks still control the city of Sheikhupura (the ancient Virkgarh) both, politically and economically.

Shekhupura is also the name of a village in Patiala district of Punjab. This village falls under Patiala Tahsil.

Multiwavelength fiber ring laser based on a semiconductor and fiber gain medium
Optics Express, Vol. 17, Issue 3, pp. 1234-1239 (2009)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (263 KB)
We report a novel multi-wavelength laser source based on hybrid gain medium, with a semiconductor optical amplifier and erbium doped fiber amplifier, and a double-ring structure. More than 60 lines with more than 50 dB signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) have been achieved in our setup. The wavelength interval between the wavelengths is ~0.32nm. The 3dB spectral width of each lasing line is ~ 0.019nm. The laser can be tuned from ~1526 nm to ~1562 nm by adjusting the loss in the cavity.

On Thursday February 12, isf welcomed delegates and sponsors to its Middle East Master Class. This event was the second in a series of four master classes. Sponsors of the event included The Bank of New York Mellon, Citi, Fortis Bank Nederland, HSBC, Merrill Lynch and RBS. Hosted at the Le Meridien hotel in Abu Dhabi, the one day event brought together leading local banks, scholars, hedge funds, exchanges, sovereign wealth funds and asset managers.
This region like no other has complexities and nuances that even the most in tune investor may find challenging. The Middle East is a prime example of why the master class was created– to educate. Educate the local community to the benefits of securities finance and how it is an integral part of any successful capital market. And educate the international community to how these markets work and the opportunities available.

Definition of Nanny
Nanny: A woman employed full-time to take care of one or more children in a family home. Nanny is the diminutive of Ann or Anne and a nanny is also a female goat but the origin of the term nanny as a woman caring for children is conjectural. The male equivalent of a nanny is a manny.

Charles Krauthammer on "L'Affaire Easterbrook." Krauthammer's analysis is similar to the one I presented in response to Trunk's blog on the subject a few days ago. Krauthammer finds Easterbrook's comments tying the religion of various entertainment industry executives to his revulsion over a film their companies made "clumsy and stupid." However, he also finds that the vilification of Easterbrook has gone too far. And he wonders why, given Easterbrook's exemplary career, his comments have drawn so much fire, as compared to all of the blatant anti-Semitism that is swirling around today. As I suggested in my comments, the latter phenomenon actually may help explain the former — that is, Easterbrook's remarks provide "the opportunity for liberals who are leading the charge against Israel to re-establish their bona fides on matters Jewish."

Don't sweat it man- if you have the means to pick up his cards then do it! Wont bother me in the least.
EDIT: That might be a nice solution to hold you over till the 7 series. If you picked up two of his cards now, in a couple month you could likely still sell both for about $150 ($75 a piece). That should pay for the majority of the "7770" or whatever AMD will call it. And if the 7 series turns out to be a major let down, just keep the two 5870s till something more suitable comes along. Dual 5870s is a whole lot of graphics power, especially at 1440x900. When you upgrade your monitor you'll likely breathe new life into those 5870s because you'll remove more of the CPU bottleneck.

I might pick it up at the local Fry's then since it's the same exact prices as newegg. If I'm going to pay the same amount of tax, I'd rather have it in my hands in 10 minutes as opposed to 4 days.
The biggest difference between the 1090T and 1100T is AMD's "TurboCore"- which is essentially their version of Intel's "Turbo Mode" for the Core i7's. If that isn't a huge concern for you, I'd save the money and go for the 1090T if you plan to manually over clock it. If you don't plan to manually over clock it that 1100T may be a better deal cause it'll over clock itself up to 3.7GHz.
