Although many manufacturers offer jeans with a short inseam, the best petite jeans are scaled especially for petite women. That means rear pockets that are appropriately sized and placed, knee breaks in the right place for boot cuts, waist rise scaled for a shorter torso, appropriate placement of seams, and smaller decorative elements. So look beyond short in-seams when shopping for the best petite jeans for you!.

Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over daily movements, we do like to keep an eye on market changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.
On a day in which weather is a major factor on the East Coast, stock markets aren't making very dramatic moves, with the Dow Jones Industrials (DJINDICES: ^DJI ) up nine points at 11 a.m. EST after dropping as much as 100 points just after the open. Despite fear from the latest negative outlook from Cisco Systems, other events are also contributing to the Dow's moves this morning.
On one hand, the onslaught of sluggish economic data continued today. Dow futures reacted when retail sales figures for January came in worse than expected, with a drop of 0.4% led by falling auto sales. Downward revisions in December also pointed to sluggishness, and although many people immediately blamed the weather, that doesn't explain why economists hadn't built weather impacts into their projections for roughly unchanged retail sales for the month. Outside the Dow, neither Ford (NYSE: F ) nor General Motors (NYSE: GM ) appeared to react to the report, given that they've already reported sales figures. But GM stock fell 1.7% on news regarding a recall of almost 780,000 compact cars, including its Cobalt model, due to safety concerns linked to ignition switch problems.
Yet investors have to be pleased at the relatively calm way in which the U.S. government this week resolved the latest round of the debt-ceiling debate, with the House and Senate agreeing to suspend implementation of the ceiling until early 2015.The measure doesn't officially set a new higher limit, but makes it possible for the government to operate without a shutdown. United Technologies (NYSE: UTX ) and Boeing (NYSE: BA ) , which have extensive defense contract relationships, should see their long-term prospects improve if Washington doesn't make things more difficult for them in the future.
When high-profile companies report big news, it's easy to get caught up in the story of the day. But keeping aware of other news items is essential to keep your balance and avoid knee-jerk reactions in your investing. Your long-term results will improve as a result.

The national media spotlight has shone more brightly on Baltimore this past week than at any point during my 25 years of writing about media at The Baltimore Sun.
To some local officials, it must feel like a national media sun lamp that is starting to burn.
And they have pushed back, criticizing and even blaming the media for some of the ugliness that was captured by network and cable cameras.
Sensing an outlet for their general enmity toward the press, some audience members have also jumped in, tweeting or posting on Facebook about how awful they think CNN's Don Lemon or Fox News' Geraldo Rivera is. If you're from Baltimore, it's us (locals) against them (national media), and it just feels good after drowning in a week of profoundly disturbing hometown images to blast away on social media.
But if we are going to review media performance, let's do it fairly and honestly, and not through a haze of ideology, boosterism or political misdirection.
Not for one second, for example, should we...
Read moreThe Fraternal Order of Police leveled serious conflict-of-interest charges Friday against the Baltimore state's attorney's office — and the local media.
Gene Ryan, president of Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 3, wrote in a letter to State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby that he has "very deep concerns about the many conflicts of interest" involving her office prosecuting six officers for the death of Freddie Gray. He asked her to appoint a special prosecutor.
The FOP's issues with her marriage to a City Council member or the campaign contributions she received from William H. "Billy" Murphy Jr., a Gray family attorney, are not my concern.
But, as media critic, the allegation that the "lead prosecutor's connections with members of the local media" constitute a conflict of interest demands comment. He follows that charge by saying, "Based on several nationally televised interviews, these reporters are likely to be witnesses in any potential litigation regarding this incident."
The FOP declined...
Read moreIn alleging Friday that Baltimore State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby should appoint a special prosecutor because of "conflicts of interest" in her office, the Fraternal Order of Police cast aspersions on the entire press corps covering the Freddie Gray case.
Among other charges involving campaign contributions and Mosby's marriage to City Council member Nick Mosby, the FOP said in a letter, "These conflicts … include the lead prosecutor's connections with members of the local media. Based on several nationally televised interviews, these reporters are likely to be witnesses in any potential litigation regarding this incident."
The FOP Friday did not respond to requests from The Sun for specifics and clarification on which "members of the local media" it was referencing.
Janice Bledsoe is the deputy state's attorney who led the Freddie Gray investigation.
Jayne Miller, investigative reporter for WBAL-TV, confirmed to a Sun reporter Friday that she is in a relationship with Bledsoe.
When contacted...
Read moreWhat an impressive TV press conference by State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby.
Memo to all the politicians chasing camera time who think they understand media: That's the way you use television to inform.
Two minutes into her press conference, you knew that this official had done her homework and wasn't speaking blah-blah-blah, platitude-sloppy, media-bromide talk like so many elected and appointed officials here have been doing this week.
She talked with the kind of force and precision a legal education is supposed to impart. But it was so unlike the ideologically charged, purely speculative, sometimes foolish talk I heard from so many lawyers on cable TV and the streets of Baltimore this week.
Mosby projected focus, strength, determination, righteousness and resolve. I'm not saying she is all of those things -- I have no way of knowing.
But that's what came through on the tube. And all of those telegenic attributes enhanced the power of the findings she announced, charging six police officers...
Read moreFox News correspondent Geraldo Rivera was not exactly feeling the love when he came to Baltimore this week to cover the aftermath of the death of Freddie Gray.
Check out this video of Geraldo's encounter with one local viewer whose issues with the media extend beyond Rivera.
Rivera's reporting from Baltimore was shown on "Hannity," the prime-time show hosted by Sean Hannity, Tuesday night.

Watching Major League Baseball on TV is one of my greatest pleasures. It's like meditation or that first glass of wine. I have been doing it several nights a week for decades.
That's why I thought watching the Orioles play the Chicago White Sox in an empty Camden Yards was going to be super strange today.
Only it wasn't.
Having worked at newspapers in Detroit and Dallas when the Tigers and Rangers were really bad, I have spent plenty of hours in front of the screen watching non-contending teams play meaningless games in September before near-empty stadiums.
That's what it mainly felt like watching today, except that the Orioles played with energy and focus unlike those losing teams populated by players just waiting to empty out their lockers and head home for the off-season.
The reason for the empty stadium is the civic unrest that has plagued Baltimore since Saturday night when what had been peaceful protests in the wake of the death of Freddie Gray turned violent. Police cars were stomped...

Ask God
Follow omaramA. I was excited to see that I received a question from Bilerico today, until I read it. Though I am flattered (not really), that you, question-asker/advice giver, (not to be confused with "you people"), assume that in lieu of communicating with your God, I might actually have the answers on God's behalf. I claim no such power or right - do you? Anyone else have a question?

wow, I new that there were a lot of anti-gays on this site this past week b/c of the whole Dungy thing, but I never thought that they'd send in a letter to Michele.
Two points for creativity, but minus five for mechanics and spelling. F! firstname.lastname@example.com, SEE ME - I know you can do better.
Aw man, I gave a conservative a bad grade - David Horowitz is going to come after me!
The Sodom story reminds me of the scene in "To Kill a Mockingbird". All the white men of the town have come to the jail to "talk" with the African-American prisoner. It is clear their purpose was to humiliate and kill the prisoner.
Although I do not speak for God, many people believe the Bible does. It consistently says that rape is wrong. It also says in several places that the sins of Sodom were that they did not welcome strangers and did not take care of the poor.
The gay (LGBT) people I know do not rape others. My impression is that many times they (LGBT people) are willing to be hospitable to strangers and outcasts and very willing to help the poor.

Your girl think 'bout me while she drivin' a Jetta

Hot pink shirt and them lime green sneakers

This line is a testament to Gambino's skill in turning even the "whitest" girls into fans of his rap.
His music has spawned a group of 'Gambino Girls', who imitate his every fashion, and dress up in leagues for his concerts, usually in outlandish nerd gear and neon colours.

Is the United States an undiscovered market for Islamic Finance? That's the question a group of industry professionals convened to answer on November 4th at the inaugural Islamic Finance Conference in Washington, DC. The event, whose program included sessions exploring everything from how to source Islamic capital in the United States to the relationship between socially responsible investing and Islam, was intended to serve as a meeting place to help interested parties come together and advance the cause of Islamic finance in the U.S.
"It's really about creating opportunities for everyone," said Roy Michael, Executive Director of the Malaysia-US Chamber of Commerce. "The Chamber recognizes the potential value of developing Islamic capital markets in the United States. Our goal is to play a constructive role and to facilitate growth."
Michael went on to say that the Chamber wanted to make the event a "meeting of the minds," bringing leaders from Malaysia, which has a highly developed Islamic economy, to interact with political and business leaders in the United States, which still lags East Asia, Gulf Cooperation Council nations, and even much of Europe in terms of Islamic financial products. Globally, Islamic finance is $2 trillion industry, including asset management and infrastructure projects. There are roughly 600 financial institutions operating in more than 75 jurisdictions globally.
According to Michael, the conference was successful at creating an avenue for engagement among key financial players, while also promoting Islamic financial instruments—for example, Sukuk—in the United States.
Among the many notable conference participants were David Vicary Abdullah, President and CEO of INCEIF, the global Islamic university based in Malaysia, and Senator Kevin Parker, a New York state legislator who has advanced a proposal to launch the first municipal Sukuk in the United States. Prominent individuals from the Malaysian banking sector, as well as the Malaysian Embassy in Washington, DC, were in attendance.
Beyond dialogue and building business partnerships, the Chamber would reportedly like to use the event as a springboard for the creation of a permanent advocacy wing dedicated to the promotion of Islamic finance in the United States. "The conference isn't just about getting together once in a while to touch base," say Michael. "It's about starting down the long road of building real and lasting growth in the United States." "Islamic Finance: An Undiscovered Market in the United States" was held on November 4,, 2013, at the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center in Washington, DC.

Past performance does not guarantee future results.
The Azzad Ethical Fund is non-diversified and may invest a larger percentage of its assets in fewer companies exposing it to more volatility and/or market risk than diversified funds. The Fund may not achieve its objective and/or could lose money on your investment in the Fund. Stock markets and investments in individual stocks can decline significantly in response to issuer, market, economic, political, regulatory, geographical, and other conditions. Investments in mid-cap companies can be more volatile than investments in larger companies. Investments in growth companies can be more sensitive to the company's earnings and more volatile than the stock market in general. Because the portfolio may invest substantial amount of its asset in issuers located in a single country or in a limited number of countries, it may be more volatile that a portfolio that is more geographically diversified. See the prospectus for more details about risks.
Investments in smaller and medium sized companies involve additional risks such as limited liquidity and greater volatility. Investments in debt securities typically decrease in value when interest rates rise. This risk is usually greater for longer-term debt securities. Investments in lower rated and non-rated securities present a great risk of loss to principal and interest than higher rated securities.
The Azzad Wise Capital Fund is non-diversified with a high concentration of securities in the financial sector which can expose the Fund to more volatility and/or market risk than diversified funds. The Fund may not achieve its objective and/or could lose money on your investment in the Fund. The Fund mainly invests in securities issues by foreign entities which expose the Fund to country specific risks such as market, economic, political, regulatory, geographical, and other risks. The Fund intends to invest in certain instruments that may be illiquid. As a result, if the Fund receives large amount of redemptions, the Fund may be forced to sell such illiquid investments at a significant loss to be able to meet such redemption requests. See the prospectus for more details about risks.

Now that I'm no longer going on "first dates," Beff's is one of my favorite spots to eat. They have an extensive menu, a handful of ultra-efficient waitresses and their french fries are always hot (piping hot fries speak to me). Plus, they have free refills on soda and iced tea. Now, if they'd just switch to Coke products, we'd be besties.
Anywho, a couple weeks ago R and I had an argument (I can't even remember about what) and a Harvest sandwich was the one thing that was going to heal my achy breaky heart. I checked the menu of my go-tos (76 Diner, Beff's, Cheesecake) and found Beff's to have just what I was looking for.
We go there a lot, and have a waitress (Karissa — sp?) we just love who told us about this cool new program they are doing. Basically, it's a frequent diner program — with no cards to carry. Yayy!
You get one point for every dollar spent and, once you reach 100 points you get a $10 gift card. So, basically, that's like $10 off your bill.
Today I went there for lunch by myself. But, in general, I have company. And because I am a dessert fanatic, and need to get the nacho app every time we go to Beff's, it only takes about two visits to reach that $100 mark.
Interested? They are on Everett Road in Colonie and, as an added perk, they have a toasty wood stove you can warm up in front of over in the bar.

"Golec has discovered an ideal object for a case study of the aesthetic practices and discourses of its period. . . . He draws revealing and often unexpected connections between the legendary Brillo box and the subcultures that produced it and embraced it."—Winterthur Portfolio
A study of the iconic Brillo box through the theories of design, aesthetics, and art
In The Brillo Box Archive, Michael J. Golec situates the image of the Brillo® box at the intersection of design, aesthetics, and art history, tracking the familiar household item from the kitchen, to the art world, and into a critical and theoretical discourse. This tripartite approach posits the Brillo® box as a record, an archive of mid-twentieth-century visual and industrial culture. While the Brillo® box was a fixture in American homes beginning in the early twentieth century, a 1961 redesign by James Harvey imbued the red and blue box with a new wave of Cold War-era patriotic values and the promise of domestic efficiency. The subsequent ubiquity of Harvey's apropos design thrust the quotidian object headlong into the realm of art, prompting both Arthur Danto and Andy Warhol to adopt the box as a source of philosophical and artistic inspiration. Golec's interdisciplinary approach to the archive of modernity investigates the progression from industrial design to artistic reinterpretation to aesthetic theory. Warhol's appropriation of Harvey's design, employing his considerable reputation and imagination to reanimate the cardboard containers as pieces of Pop art rather than mere storage devices, opened the door for contemporary art critic Arthur Danto's assertions about the relationship between artwork and referent, inspiration and appropriation. This unique and truly interdisciplinary work will appeal to scholars of art history, design history, visual culture studies, and aesthetics.

Scattering and absorption transport sensitivity functions for optical tomography
Optics Express, Vol. 7, Issue 13, pp. 492-506 (2000)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (303 KB)
Optical tomography is modelled as an inverse problem for the time-dependent linear transport equation. We decompose the linearized residual operator of the problem into absorption and scattering transport sensitivity functions. We show that the adjoint linearized residual operator has a similar physical meaning in optical tomography as the 'backprojection' operator in x-ray tomography. In this interpretation, the geometric patterns onto which the residuals are backprojected are given by the same absorption and scattering transport sensitivity functions which decompose the forward residual operator. Moreover, the 'backtransport' procedure, which has been introduced in an earlier paper by the author, can then be interpreted as an efficient scheme for 'backprojecting' all (filtered) residuals corresponding to one source position simultaneously into the parameter space by just solving one adjoint transport problem. Numerical examples of absorption and scattering transport sensitivity functions for various situations (including applications with voids) are presented.

They got their name from their village of origin namely RAJAPUR in Ratnagiri district of Mahashtra state in India.The members of this community follow the hindu religion and speak konkani. The konkani spoken by them is a mixture of marathi and goan konkani, with a bigger percent of marathi mixed in it. They consider the Swamiji of KAVALE MUTT of Goa as their spiritual guru. Though this community has a small population, its members are now spread all over the world.This site is a single stop source of information regarding the origin, customs, culture, history …. of Rajapur Saraswath Brahmins.

David Licht, Modern Drummer, 01/07/1999
Jeanette Wrate is a percussionist of Scandinavian ancestry who has performed with artists like Dizzy Gillespie, Charlie Haden and Jimmy Witherspoon. On her new recording, 'Echoes Of A Northern Sky,' Wrate combines the traditional music of Northern Europe
Jazzonline.com, 01/02/2000
Ms. Wrate is an exceptional drummer. She performs at least one marvel on each track: a simple but effective press roll and hi-hat diminution, judicious and funny cowbell accents, arch polyrhythms etc.
Jazz Times,
Wrate, who is a triple threat on voice, drums and just about everything percussive from marimba to cowbell...is a whirling dervish of rhythmic coloration. Her responsive stroking is a source of constant inventiveness."
Michael Rosenstein, Cadence Magazine, 01/07/1999
She makes foreign dance motifs swing in a way that's natural yet challenging to American ears, translating a seemingly esoteric folk style into the language of fin de siècle improvisation based music without sacrificing the vivaciousness of the prototype.
Kirk Silsbee, New Times LA, 01/07/1999

Investigation is not assumption - suspicion - but not assumption. We have every right to be vigilant of abuse of government.
"Illustrious" isn't my first thought as I read your posts. The Supreme Court publishes its decision with supporting evidence as the trusted professional public servants that they are. Justices can be impeached, as was Associate Justice, Samuel Chase, in 1805 (the only case of SC impeachment), and congressmen and senators can be removed from office by their peers. Holder's documents that the Oversight and Government Reform Committee subpoenaed are a legitimate investigative resource.
My point is that a nation at war must tread carefully and, again, be vigilant of possible abuses. At such times, patriotism isn't silent consent but vigorous protest. Shakespeare said,
"Think'st thou that duty shall have dread to speak,
When power to flattery bows? To plainness honour's bound,
When majesty stoops to folly. Reverse thy doom;"
- King Lear 1.1.
Depends on whose ox is being gored. But you seem to equivocate in your call for respect for all government officials.

Genealogy in Delianuova
If you know (or you think) that your ancestors were from Delianuova, you could find info about your Italian family at Registrar of Vital Statistics in the City Office or at the parishes.
Registry offices in Calabria and in Reggio Calabria province were established in early 1800: it means that you could find information in Delianuova registrar as of that date. |
Before to start your genealogy research in Delianuova, we suggest you to read our tips for your search . They are useful to search in Italy and in Delianuova too.
In the next picture you can see the demographic trends in Delianuova from the Italian Unification (1861).
It could be important to know if the last name you are investigating is a frequent surname in Delianuova. As more your surname is common in Delianuova, as more it could be difficult to find the right info about your ancestors in Delianuova archives if you have not exact dates.
It could be useful for you to know that some of the most common surnames in Reggio Calabria province are:
Agostino, Albanese, Barbaro, Barreca, Battaglia, Calabrò, Carbone, Caridi, Catalano, Chirico, Commisso, Costantino, Crea, D'Agostino, Ferraro, Foti, Giordano, Iaria, Labate, Laganà, Latella, Lombardo, Longo, Macrì, Malara, Marino, Marra, Martino, Minniti, Modafferi, Morabito, Musolino, Napoli, Neri, Nucera, Panetta, Polimeni, Quattrone, Raso, Romeo, Russo, Scopelliti, Sergi, Siclari, Spanò, Surace, Tripodi, Zappia.
Church archives in Reggio Calabria province may instead contain even older information, but they are far less accessible from abroad (and almost impossible by email).
Then,parishes send information not easily.
If you have the opportunity to visit Delianuova and Reggio Calabria province, you could plan to investigate churches' archives by yourself, but from abroad is very difficult to obtain any result unless you find a reliable local help.
Another important source of information is the "Archivio di Stato" (National archive) in Reggio Calabria.
In any case, never give up! Probably the distance from your country and Italy, some difficulties in understanding and in translation, could complicate your search but this should not discourage you.
It's important to plan your activities to carry on with simple goals (eg. search for a single date of birth, the name of an ancestor, the date of a marriage, etc.)
If you are interested to start or to continue your genealogy research in Delianuova, or if you have questions regarding your family in Delianuova, just leave a message below, we will answer you by email

I am trying to find ancestors of my grandfather, Giuseppe Zampogna. He was born in Delianuova on Feb 7 1888 to Alfonso Zampogna and Fracia Tatino. His family consisted of 2 brothers Antonio and Michelangelo and a sister Mary? On Dec 9 1914 in Delianuova Giuseppe married Teresa Costerella, daughter of Alfonso Costerella and Rachele Strano. Giuseppe and his 2 brothers immigrated to the US and his sister stayed in Italy. Any information is appreciated.
Thank you,

Sono venuta a Delianuova tante volte per approfondire la ricerca sulla famiglia di mio padre. Ho ottenuto alcuni risultati dalla chiese dell'Assunta dove sono stata battezzata. Sfortunatamente non ho ottenuto risposta dalla chiesa quando ho chiesto piu informazioni e sarei grata a chiunque potrebbe aiutarmi. Mio padre era Fedele Arcangelo (era perche e deceduto nel 2011)figlio di Casella Teresa e Fedele Giuseppe. Giuseppe e deceduto il 19 dicembre 1921, 4 mesi dopo la nascita di mio padre che naque in 12 agosto 1921. Giuseppe era il figlio di Fedele Domenico nato circa la meta del 1800(non conosco il nome di sua moglie). Domenico he sua moglie hanno avuto 8 figli – 5 maschi e 3 femmine. Chiedo aiuto a saperne di piu su Fedele Domenico, sua moglie e i suoi genitori. Abito a Fremantle nell'Australia Occidentale dal 1967 e il mio Italiano non e piu quello di una volta. Mi scuso per gli errori. Grazie a chiunque puo provvedermi informazioni, anche se minime.
My father Vincenzo born Oct 1897 in Delianouva came to Australia in 1926
I would like to trace his parents and grandparents. My grandparents were Francisco Antonio Napoli born about 1880,a property valuer, who moved to Caraffa Bianca and married my grandmother Guila Misitano.
Francesco Antonio had a sister Lucia Napoli who was married to Vincenzo DeMarte. I hope someone while be able to help.
With regards,
Tony Napoli -
I am writing a book about immigration, post world war 11, which is when my parents immigrated to Western Australia.
I know it is difficult to communicate from one side of the world with another……but I will not stop until I find relative connected to my family pre1900.
How can you help me if at all.
With kind regards,

That's about it. Man, Memorial Day was always the worst day of the year for me bc I was in the Highschool Marching Band, so we would always have to march from 6am until 6pm....we would march to every single freaking cemetery in our county. As you know, cemeteries are usually built on hills, so we always had to march up these massive hills....usually a few band geeks passed out during every march. On top of that, I was First Trumpet, so that meant that I had to play taps during every freaking ceremony, which is really hard after marching up a gigantic hill...and extremely nerve racking when you have 50 old veterans listening to you, expecting it to be absolutely perfect. Of course one note would always fall flat. Ah. Hm, I wonder how many of you will actually read my entire post. Floppy Nono 05-18-2009, 11:43 PM one time i masturbated into a tuba before band, wonder if he could taste it ella 05-18-2009, 11:51 PM I'm sure he could....I always opened up my spit valve on douchebags from rivalry bands. I always made sure I'd let the spit chill for quite a bit, actually for such a long time that my tone would start to make the fluttering noise....you know...the, "you need to empty out your spit valve" noise. Yeah I would just totally dowse the motherfuckers with my trumpet spit. They'd just run back to their instructors and bitch, but that was that. Great times. pale_princess 05-19-2009, 12:08 AM canada is lame. we just had our holiday this past weekend. it was good. - fri went to a rooftop bbq & partied - sat. well, we were supposed to go to my bff's bday but we had a grease fire so we cleaned up fire extinguisher dust & watched snl - sun was our wedding shower and we hung out with both sides of the family, ate great food, got some cool presents and had fun. - today we took it easy, watched kung fu panda, organized some of our new kitchen stuff, watched how i met your mother & two and a half men, hung out with the cats i'd say great weekend. we still need to clean our stove and i need to organize a makeup date for my bff. murgle 05-19-2009, 12:14 AM Let's see.

We were making a right turn and had a red arrow and this group of like ten black girls were being STUPID AS FUCK jumping in the road and making noise, one of them narrowly missed being hit by a car. When the arrow turned we went to go and one of them jumped out in front of the car so I raised my hands and gave them a "what the fuck" look and one of them spit on my fucking car! UGH! |

Hey Alyssa,
Based on height and weight, yes, the 153 would work. However, the wide option isn't necessary for a size 10. Going with a wide option should only be necessary for men's size 11 and up.

"These are beautiful and coordinate perfectly with the other programs and menu cards in this line. We're using this for our nautical wedding. I should have paid more attention to the dimensions listed in the description, these are really small. We'll probably still use them but I would have preferred something with more room for the first and last names."
"This place card is just as beautiful and luxurious as the fanciful monogram invitation. The paper is thick, and the monogram and fonts match perfectly. This is a folding card, which would hold up nicely on its own on a table. We are putting the place cards in a slit at the top of a gavel we had made as a place card holder, and it looks great! We are so happy to keep the "fanciful monogram" theme going through our wedding - from our invitations to our place cards. Too bad they don't have a matching menu!"
"WPD had tons of styles and options to choose from. Finally settled on this design. We had some customization requests on what text was printed on the cards. The designers emailed me the next day with a proof and it was perfect. Thanks for a great experience and hassle free purchase."
"I ordered the Antique Border invitations in the dark red colour and got these for our reception to match. I asked WeddingPaperDivas to take off the Table.... so we just had the two border lines and I wrote names on the cards. They looked great, very classic and simple and the paper quality was excellent - easy to fold and the cards stood up really well."
"I was able to personalize these Place Cards with our first names at the top and the data of our wedding on the bottom. The colors matched our theme perfectly! The paper quality was very good and held up well. All the guests kept theirs as another favor!"

Photographer's Note
This is a Dalit child, selling lotus flowers outside the Mahabody Temple in Buddhagaya. I uploaded it because I am going to India tomorrow. Sadly, many children have to earn their living selling in the streets.

Hello Kevin
A well composed picture of this rather sad little chap.I do feel for these little children,but at least this one looks as if he is warm with three layers of clothing,but open to all evils around.
Best Wishes

Hi Kevin
Haven't seen you for a while (although I think I visited the same temple as in your last posting).
Well captured this serious face.
Valensiaa (244) 2013-10-14 3:43
It's heart touching photo.
I saw lotus here in my country before, but never knew it can be so big. This kid and flowers looks like two diferent worlds one is full of joy light and freshness and another is hard and sad.
Great colors and presentation. The only thing which distracts me is too much blur on left side - would prefer some texture added there.
adores (38839) 2013-10-23 17:28
Hi Kevin!
I remember these bottles! He looks so serious, surely because of his hard life but he holds the lotus so proudly.
Hope you have a great stay there, India is such a magical country!

The European Parliament has threatened to take the European Commission to the EU's highest court if it does not disclose the details of a secret international copyright treaty.11 Mar 2010
The Parliament has voted by an overwhelming majority to adopt a resolution demanding that the Commission limit the scope of the proposed treaty and inform it of its contents immediately.
The Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) is a deal being negotiated by governments around the world outside of the confines of existing trade bodies such as the World Trade Organisation or the World Intellectual Property Organisation. The Commission is negotiating on behalf of the EU's 27 member states.
Secrecy has surrounded the two-year negotiations from the start and critics have alleged that figures from copyright-reliant industries such as music and film have been allowed to see more of the proposals than the citizens of the governments involved.
The Parliament has adopted by 663 votes to 13 a resolution which insists that the Commission share with it the details of the plans and underlines the fact that the Commission cannot negotiate anything not already covered by EU law.
"According to documents leaked, the ACTA negotiations touch on, among other things, pending EU legislation regarding the enforcement of IPRs [intellectual property rights] and the so-called 'Telecoms Package' and on existing EU legislation regarding e-commerce and data protection," it said.
"The ongoing EU efforts to harmonise IPR enforcement measures should not be circumvented by trade negotiations which are outside the scope of normal EU decision-making processes," it said. "Any agreement reached by the European Union on ACTA must comply with the legal obligations imposed on the EU with respect to privacy and data protection law."
The Parliament said that, under new government structures introduced by last year's Lisbon Treaty, it will have to approve any measures negotiated by the Commission.
The resolution said that since the passing of the Lisbon Treaty the Commission must inform Parliament on the progress of international negotiations, but said that it had been kept in the dark. MEPs insisted that they be informed now what shape negotiations are taking. "[The Parliament] calls on the Commission and the Council to grant public and parliamentary access to ACTA negotiation texts and summaries," said the statement.
"Unless Parliament is immediately and fully informed at all stages of the negotiations, it reserves its right to take suitable action, including bringing a case before the Court of Justice in order to safeguard its prerogatives," it said.
The Parliament's resolution demands not only that the Commission publish information about the current process, but that it change the negotiating process itself.
"[Parliament] expects the Commission to make proposals prior to the next negotiation round in New Zealand in April 2010, to demand that the issue of transparency is put on the agenda of that meeting and to refer the outcome of the negotiation round to Parliament immediately following its conclusion," it said.
The data protection advisor to EU institutions, the European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS), warned last week that the ACTA negotiations threatened to undermine EU laws on data protection and privacy.
"Whereas intellectual property is important to society and must be protected, it should not be placed above individuals' fundamental rights to privacy and data protection," said EDPS Peter Hustinx. "A right balance between protection of intellectual property rights and the right to privacy and data protection should be ensured. It is also particularly crucial that data protection requirements are taken into account from the very beginning of the negotiations so as not later on having to find alternative privacy compliant solutions."

Budget disappoints Dhumal, CPM
Shimla, July 6 No relief had been given to any section and the disillusionment was truly reflected in the crash the stock market witnessed today. Sensex plummeted even as the Union Finance Minister was presenting the budget, providing ample indications of its likely adverse impact on growth, he said. There had been no relief for the income tax payers and employees, in particular, would be at the receiving end as their income had increased due to revision of the pay scale, he added. Relief in income tax given to senior citizens and women was also insignificant. There had been no change in the corporate tax structure, much to the disappointment of the corporate world, he said. People of the state had been expecting the restoration of the Industrial Package up to 2013 but there was no mention of it. As a result, the excise-duty exemption for industries would be available only up to March, 2010, and it would seriously hamper the industrial investment, he claimed. The states plea for imposition of a nominal generation tax on the power produced in the state as a measure of resource mobilisation had also been ignored. Levy of generation tax at 10 paise per unit would fetch additional revenue of over Rs 150 crore to the state annually. The Chief Minister said if there was a proposal worth welcoming, it was the decision to implement one rank-one pension for ex-servicemen. It had been a long-pending demand of the armed personnel, and one only hoped that the decision would be implemented in letter and spirit, he said. Meanwhile, terming the budget as grossly inadequate in meeting challenges of economic recession, growing job losses and declining purchasing power, the CPM today said the budget neither provided stimulus for growth nor met the needs of aam admi. In a statement issued here today, Tikender Panwar, member, State Secretariat, said the budget had failed to provide resources required to stimulate the economy. Crucial sectors like agriculture and rural development, where effects of agrarian crisis and agricultural growth slow down has been severe, have bene provided little support, he said. He said request for a special financial package for the hill state had also been ignored. The euphoria created at having two Union ministers in the Cabinet has also died down as their presence have made little difference, he added. |
HPU reluctant to bring transparency in exam
Shimla, July 6 This is quite evident from the reply given by the university to the queries posed by RTI activist Dev Ashish Bhattacharya who wanted to know if it had been following the practices adopted elsewhere in the country to ensure transparency and fair play. In a point-wise reply to his application, BD Sharma, deputy registrar, (secrecy), stated that as per the past practice, candidates were not allowed to take home the test booklets (question papers) which were received back from the examination centre in a sealed manner and disposed of after two years as per procedure. There was no provision for providing carbon copies of OMR answer sheets to candidates and also no proposal pending with the university in this regard. However, a candidate could get a copy of the OMR sheet duly authenticated if he or she applied under the RTI Act to the Dean of Studies, he added. Sharma further said the answer key was neither put on the website nor published in newspapers. However, key, along with the test booklet, was displayed on the notice board of the university after declaration of the result for at least two days. The candidates could also apply under the RTI Act for the purpose. Meanwhile, Bhattacharya said if other universities and boards could provide test booklets, carbon copies of OMR answer sheets and put the answer key on the web after examination, the HPU should also follow suit. The only reason could be that it did not want transparency in the conduct of test, he added. He said there was no point in displaying the key after declaration of results on the university notice board as candidates from not only Himachal Pradesh but also other states appeared in the test. Moreover, without test booklet and carbon copy of OMR sheets, candidates would not be in a position to evaluate their performances, he observed. The university was willing to give information only under the RTI Act which would not serve any purpose as by the time the desired information was available, the process of admissions would be completed, he added. |
RKMV denies ragging incident
Shimla, July 6 It was simply an altercation which was exaggerated by various student wings to exploit the issue in their favour, she remarked. It was following allegations of ragging levelled by certain students that the college authorities probed the entire matter. The issue assumed political overtones with the SFI and the ABVP accusing each other of indulging in ragging. The college authorities, however, denied that there was ragging of any kind in the college by seniors. |
Single women rue govt apathy
Shimla, July 6 Despite tall claims and political assurances, the plight of single women remains deplorable as they face problem at every step, right from getting a simple ration card or widow pension, besides having to live with the social stigma of being ekaal naaris. The public hearing (jan sunvai), organised by the Ekal Naree Shakti Sangathan (ENSS), here today, turned out to be one such occasion where 120 women from eight districts of Himachal Pradesh related their tale of woes before panelists, including former bureaucrat CP Sujaya and Firoza Mehrotra, senior adviser, Planning Commisison. Notwithstanding the fact that there can be no will of the inherited property which is to be distributed equally amongst natural heirs, names of single women and their daughters are going missing from the revenue records. My in-laws have willed their ancestral property with no mention of either my daughter or myself, which I cannot fight legally as I can barely make ends meet what to talk of litigation, said Sundri from Chauntra village in Mandi. In case of sons of single women, grandparents have made the paternal uncles as guardians of the boy in the will, denying the woman her right in the ancestral property. Another legal problem being faced by many women was that their husbands had gone missing and in the absence of any concrete evidence about their whereabouts, they were being denied their rights. |
Campaign on 3G awareness kicked off
Shimla, July 6 The van will move around in the city for the next two months to provide hands on experience of the new services to the prospective customers. It has also established a 3G experience centre at the Central Telegraph Office (CTO) and the Shimla Development Authority Complex, Kasumpti. Besides, people could also have 3G experience at the Rotary Town Hall on every Saturday and Sunday. Kaushal said apart from being the largest service provider in the state with 13 lakh mobile, WLL and landline subscribers, the BSNL had also emerged as the leading broadband services provider. It was also providing blackberry and IPTV services. The 3G services, launched in Shimla in the first phase, would be made available in Solan and Mandi shortly. |
Summer vacation from July 13
Shimla, July 6 The winter-closing schools will have a six-day monsoon break which will start exactly a week before the opening of the summer-closing school. All schools will reopen on August 22, according to OP Sharma, director, education. |
Cops recover cash
Chamba, July 6 The currency was dug out from the deep layers of the sand when contractor Rajesh Kumar working for the local hydropower project gave a clue to the police, as soon as he found a note of Rs 1,000 when his workforce was at work on the site; a report disclosed. The currency notes were in a mutilated condition. This amount, out of a total amount of Rs 23 lakh, was being brought by officials of the IPH Department, who had died in an accident when their vehicle rolled down into the Budhil rivulet near Bharmour, in November. OC
Seminar on glaciers
Shimla, July 6 Chief Ministers of Jammu and Kashmir, Uttarakhand, Sikkim and Arunachal Pradesh will also be invited for the seminar. Chief Minister PK Dhumal stated this at a function organised to mark the 74th birth anniversary of the Dalai Lama at New Delhi today. The seminar would be held in collaboration with the Tata Energy Research Institute (TERI), in which experts on environment, weather and policy formulation, besides scientists and representatives of various NGOs would participate. |
Tibetans celebrate Dalai Lamas birthday
Dharamsala, July 6 The 17th Gyalwang Karmapa, Ogyen Trinley Dorje, presided over the function, which was attended by dignitaries, including the visiting Australian Parliamentary delegation and heads of the three pillars of Tibetan democratic institutions in-exile. The Kashag expressed concern over the ongoing repression inside Tibet, including killing, beating, torture and incarceration of Tibetans by the Chinese government since it crushed the Tibetan peoples peaceful protests in Tibet in March, 2008. Paying tributes to all those men and women of Tibet, as well as expressing solidarity with them, the Kashag reassured all those people that their sacrifices would never go in vain. The Kashag expressed his disappointment over the Chinese governments failure in providing a rational explanation as to whether it agreed or disagreed with the memorandum on genuine autonomy for all Tibetans presented to the Chinese government last year. The Chinese side has resorted to distorting the Tibetan proposal and leading the international public up the garden path by quoting bits and pieces of the Dalai Lamas statements issued many years ago, the Kashag added. The Kashag said the administration and Tibetans-in-exile would focus their efforts in reaching out to Chinese people living across the globe to raise awareness among them about the truth of the Tibet issue. |
Building gutted
Shimla, July 6 As the fire engulfed the building, there was little that villagers could do to bring it under control. With no time the structure was reduced to ashes. At the time of mishap only Bhupinders aged parents were at home. The damage has been assessed to be over Rs 70 lakh. |
Stolen soap sold in market even before launch
Solan, July 6 Parwanoo SDPO Ramesh Pathania said the company, which had unit and godown at Parwanoo, had stacked the soap in its Sector-2 outlet and it was supposed to be stacked in its Zirakpur-based godown for distribution in the markets once it was officially launched. The company had hired a truck from the Mittal Transport Company, with which it had a contract, to transport the soap to their Zirakpur-based godown on June 2. The transporter, however, hired a truck from a local transport company and truck driver Tinku instead of delivering this consignment connived with some locals- Naresh and Vijay- and sold it to Gautam and Ashok, who run shops at Kalka and Barotiwala, respectively. Tinku, Naresh and Vijay pocketed a total of Rs 4 lakh in this deal while selling off 650 boxes of soap amounting to Rs 11.9 lakh. Gautam further sold it to Rajesh who owns a shop in Panchkula. However, when the entire consignment failed to reach the godown, the company informed the police on June 6. The police picked up leads by arresting Naresh, Vijay and Rajesh. An out of court settlement was worked out between Rajesh, Gautam, Ashok and Tinku who was directed to give damages worth Rs 18 lakh to the company. Tinku took Rs 9 lakh from Rajesh and assured him that he would have to face no police action. Rajesh took the the remaining boxes amounting to 102 to Delhi in order to sell them. But the alert shopkeepers there informed the police and they in turn informed the Parwanoo police about the recovery of 90 boxes while 12 boxes were conveniently misplaced. Pathania revealed that nearly 250 boxes had been sold in Chandigarh, 100 in Ambala, some in Panchkula, Kalka and also Delhi. The police had recovered this Rs 9 lakh from the truck owner and had returned Rs 6 lakh to Rajesh after recovering the due amount from him. Intriguingly, a retired DSP of the Haryana police while trying to broker a deal between Ashok, Gautam and Rakesh pocketed Rs 35,000 in the case. |
Alert bus drivers avert accidents
Bilaspur, July 6 HRTC bus driver Kartar Singh was faced with a situation of receiving direct hit from a truck ahead of him as another speeding tanker coming from the opposite direction gave a direct hit to it. Kartar at once diverted the bus to the left side and also away from the hit of the badly smashed truck, but lost balance in the process due to boulders lying on the roadside and turned turtle. However, the bus was saved from rolling off the road, which would have resulted in a big mishap. However, 14 passengers received injuries, none of them seriously. This accident occurred near Bamta village. In another accident, near Baned, driver of the Punjab Roadways bus lost control over the vehicle as brakes of the vehicle suddenly failed on an inclined road. He immediately diverted the bus towards the hillside and dashed the bus into it. The bus stopped with a thud and 10 passengers received minor injuries. However, the presence of mind and quick action of the driver saved the bus from rolling off the road. |
37 tins, 12 packets of adulterated ghee seized
Mandi, July 6 The use of adulterated ghee and other milk products is rampant among halwais and common man in the state as the Food and Health Department rarely bothers to check adulteration of food items, residents complained, pleading their support for the raid on agents playing with the health of consumers. Acting on a tip-off that adulterated ghee smuggled from Delhi and Chandigarh was being sold to local sweets shops at Rs 80 per kg, the team raided the godown. The team seized 37 tins out of which 30 tins of pure desi ghee were of Kanhiya brand, five tins had no brand on them and two tins had the Milkfood brand. Each tin weighs 15 kg. It also seized a box containing 12 packets of adulterated pure desi ghee, each of one kg, of Bansiwala brand, Thakur said. The consignment was brought at the godown by the Chamba-Manali transport company owned by one Dheeraj Gupta, from Chandigarh, Thakur said. The consignments were either brought from Delhi or Chandigarh as Inderjit did not give proper addresses of the owners of the adulterated ghee, team members revealed. Investigation revealed that Inderjit when asked to produce bills of the ghee beat about the bush and named one Dheeraj Gupta, a resident of Chandigarh, as owner of the transport company. These consignments were also sent in other parts of the state, including Kullu and Manali, revealed sources. Mandi Health Officer Dr PC Mahant said they had launched a campaign to check adulteration of food items and seized the ghee. We have given weeks time to Inderjit and Dheeraj to produce bills and are awaiting testing reports from the Khandaghat lab, he added. Mandi SP Sonal Agnihotri said the police had assisted the raid and would lodge an FIR after getting a report from the Health Department. |
Cops face accommodation problem
Hamirpur, July 6 The problem of providing accommodation to police staff is so acute that some of the police stations are functioning in dilapidated buildings where not even a single room has been added
for years. Though many of the police officials are involved in round-the-clock duty, still they have to live in rented accommodations. Worst is the condition of women police staff since police stations pose limited or no accommodation for this category. The Hamirpur police station, which is the oldest and biggest police station in the district, was established in the
present building about a century back. Though at present 53 personnel are working with this police station, there are only nine
quarters. Similarly, the Sujanpur police station, also established about a century back, has only four quarters for the strength of 23 constables. Four officials, working in the police station, are living jointly in one residence available for an official. Even in the Nadaun police station, which is housed in a comparatively new building, thee is
no provision for women staff. Worst is the condition of the Deoth-Sidh police post which is functioning from two rooms of Baba Balak Nath temple Serai. Ongoing construction work in most of police station to provide accommodation is quite tardy. Financial crunch is stated to be the main reason for poor progress in carrying the construction. Work started in 2003-04 to construct type two quarters at the Bhoranj police station is still at masonry work stage. Construction work of quarters at Jahu police post and residential barrack, Awah Devi, is still at masonry work stage. Work on quarters at Hamirpur, Nadaun, and at Bhoranj police station is yet to begin due to varied reasons though all of these works were initiated long back. Talking about this problem, Hamirpur SP Asif Jalal said, We initiate construction of accommodation for the staff as per allocation of funds under the police- modernisation programme in stages. Since several agencies are involved, construction also gets delayed but we are making efforts to complete all these works at the earliest.
NHPC spends Rs 60 cr on roads
Chamba, July 6 According to official sources, the widening of 46-km Jarangala to Kharamukh tribal highway was in full swing for which Rs 16.04 crore had already been funded to the PWD, besides commissioning of a half-km tunnel aligned with the Chamba-Bharmour highway, near Kharamukh, leading to Manimahesh. A sum of Rs 8 crore was also being funded to the state PWD in a phased manner for widening of a 30-km portion of the Chamba-Pathankot highway from Goli to Chamba so that the accident-prone narrow road could be widened for comfortable journey of pilgrims and tourists, the sources added. The sources said nearly five prestigious bridges costing approximately Rs 13 crore had already been put through and dedicated to the people of Chamba by the NHPC.
Fernandes improving, says doctor
Kangra, July 6 Research Director, Tibetan Medical and Astrological Institute of Dalai Lama (Men-t-kasng), Dr Tenzin Lhadon, who was treating Fernandes, said here today that Fernandes had a fall few years back in his bathroom, which resulted in a clot in his brain. She said she found that his nervous system was quite weak and his hand movement too was affected. Lhadon said Fernandes was put on the traditional Tibetan herbal treatment, which had shown some remarkable results and the balanced body energy started rejuvenating in him. Before leaving for Delhi on Sunday, Fernandes expressed dismay over the present politics, which had in no way remained a social service and named it as a business not in the larger interests of the country. Lhadon said Dr Yanksan would now treat Fernandes in Delhi. |
2 boys go missing
Dalhousie, July 6 According to the report, Sunni (13), a student of class VII, and Anup (16) of class X, studying in the Government High School, Khaddar, had been missing since June 24. The report was lodged by their parents when their sons did not turn up home at Devgaha village from the school. |
Plea to postpone counselling

Brief history
In 1608, the French explorer and trader Samuel de Champlain returned to Canada believing that the only way to make the fur trade profitable was by developing alliances with aboriginal hunters. The Huron (or Wendat) were the obvious choice, as they already acted as go-betweens in the exchange of corn, tobacco and hemp from the aboriginal bands to the south and west of their territory, for the pelts collected to the north. In 1611, having participated in Huron attacks on the Iroquois, Champlain cemented the alliance by a formal exchange of presents. Yet his decision to champion one tribe against another – and particularly his gifts of firearms to his allies – disrupted the balance of power among the aboriginal societies of the St Lawrence and Great Lakes area and set the stage for the destruction of Sainte-Marie almost forty years later.
Meanwhile, the Jesuits, who established their centre of operations at Sainte-Marie in 1639, had converted a substantial minority of the Huron community to Christianity, thereby undermining traditional social patterns and obligations. The Hurons had also been enfeebled by the arrival of three European sicknesses – measles, smallpox and influenza. Then, in 1648, the Dutch on the Hudson River began to sell firearms to the Iroquois, who launched a full-scale invasion of Huronia in March 1649, slaughtering their enemies as they moved in on Sainte-Marie. Fearing for their lives, the Jesuits of Sainte-Marie burnt their settlement and fled. Eight thousand Hurons went with them; most starved to death on Christian Island, in Georgian Bay, but a few made it to Québec. During the campaign two Jesuit priests, fathers Brébeuf and Lalemant, were captured at the outpost of Saint-Louis, near present-day Victoria Harbour, where they were bound to the stake and tortured, as per standard Iroquois practice. The image of Catholic bravery and Indian cruelty lingered in the minds of French-Canadians long after the sufferings of the Hurons had been forgotten.
The mission site
A visit to Sainte-Marie begins in the visitor centre with an audiovisual show that provides some background information before the screen lifts dramatically to reveal the handsomely restored mission site. There are 31 wooden buildings here, divided into two main sections: the Jesuit area with its watchtowers, chapel, forge, living quarters, well-stocked garden and farm buildings, stocked with pigs, cows and hens; and the aboriginal area, including a hospital and a pair of bark-covered long houses – one for Christian converts, the other for "heathens". Costumed guides act out the parts of Hurons and Europeans with great gusto, answering questions and demonstrating crafts and skills, though they show a certain reluctance to eat what was once the staple food of the region, sagamite, a porridge of cornmeal seasoned with rotten fish. The grave in the simple wooden church of St Joseph between the Christian and aboriginal areas is the place where the (remaining) flesh of Brébeuf and Lalemant was interred after the Jesuits had removed many of the bones for future use as reliquaries.
The museum
A path leads from the mission site back to the visitor centre, where the excellent museum traces the story of the early exploration of Canada with maps and displays on such subjects as fishing and the fur trade, seen in the context of contemporary European history. This leads into a section on the history of the missionaries in New France, with particular reference to Sainte-Marie. Information on the archeology of the site follows: the mission's whereabouts were always known even though Victorian settlers helped themselves to every chunk of stone – from what was known locally as "the old Catholic fort" – because the Jesuits had deposited the necessary documentation in Rome. Excavations began on the site in the 1940s and work is still in progress.
