Frostburg State Wins Jim Crawley Invitational
Little, who had 10 points and nine rebounds in Saturday's 72-34 win against Wilson, was named the tournament's Most Valuable Player.
FSU (2-0) dominated the game quickly, jumping out to a 19-9 lead early in the first half behind Little and senior Christina Bleivik. The duo combined for nine points and four key rebounds.
The Bobcats got contributions from freshman Melanie Herget (six points), seniors Kim Faust (five points), Naomi Mason (five points) and Holly Myers (five points) and went into the locker room with a 39-23 halftime lead.
The Builders (1-1) came out of the break showing a full-course press which forced 17 second-half turnovers and helped them overcome a 56-41 deficit with just over 11 minutes remaining.
Apprentice forward Anita Allen led the attack, getting seven of her game-high nine steals in the second half as the visitors went on a 21-3 run over a span of six minutes to take a 62-59 lead.
Still trailing by a point, 64-63 with 1:30 remaining, Myers hit a three-pointer to give the Bobcats a lead that they never relinquished. FSU hit four free-throw attempts in the final minute to secure the win.
Myers scored 28 points over the two games and was named to the all-tournament team, as were Allen, Shenandoah's Shannda Gaskins (30 points, 23 rebounds in two games) and Wilson's Doris Zimmerman (55 points, 18 rebounds).
Bobcat senior Kim Faust, who saw her first action of the year, scored 11 points and pulled down nine rebounds. Bleivik scored 12 as four Bobcats reached double figures.
Leading way for the Builders was Allen, who posted 18 points, 18 rebounds and nine steals. Victoria Lancaster added 17 points, Sharonda Steverson scored 12 and Tanika Banks dropped in 11.
In the consolation game, Shenandoah University defeated Wilson College, 75-50. Gaskins had 22 points and 18 boards for the Hornets, while Zimmeran led the Phoenix with 36 points, including her team's first 19 of the game.
Frostburg State returns to action on Tuesday when it visit Mary Washington at 6:00 pm.

The consumer price of health insurance has rebounded over the past 12 months after falling for 3 consecutive years.
The Consumer Price Index fell 0.3 percent in May. This represents the fourth consecutive month of slowing in headline inflation as energy prices plunged another 4.3 percent this month after a 1.7 percent drop last month. Core inflation remained steady at 0.2 percent for the third consecutive month, and prices have risen at a 2.7 percent annualized rate over the last three months.
Energy prices have fallen nearly across the board over the last two months, including falls in gasoline prices of 2.6 and 6.8 percent in April and May, respectively. The sole exception has been electrical services, which rose 0.3 percent last month and just 0.2 percent over the past year.
Within core prices, shelter prices rose 0.2 percent for the 12th month in a row—a 2.3 percent rise over the period. Shelter prices are largely rent and owners' equivalent rent, which rose 0.2 and 0.1 percent, respectively. Together, these two account for 40 percent of the core CPI. Owners' equivalent rent has grown at a 1.8 percent annualized rate since February.
The price of used cars and trucks rose 1.0 percent in May—the third consecutive month of increases of at least 1 percent. This rise follows six months of decline, and prices are up only 3.5 percent over the last year. The price of used cars and trucks also rose at least 1 percent per month from February to June of 2011, so this may reflect an incomplete seasonal adjustment.
Elsewhere, the price of medical care services rose 0.5 percent, including a 0.6 percent increase in hospital services. By contrast, the price of medical care commodities—largely drug prices—was unchanged again in May. A 0.8 percent increase in health insurance prices brought the 12-month change to 13 percent. The increase over the past year follows a multi-year slide, and over the past five years, insurance prices are up only 2.3 percent. Health insurance prices have grown at a 2.3 percent annualized rate since December 2005.
The Producer Price Index for finished goods fell 1.0 percent in May, including a 4.3 percent fall in finished energy goods. The price of finished core goods rose 0.2 percent bringing the three-month annualized rate of inflation in this category to 2.5 percent. From November to February the core finished PPI rose at a 3.2 percent annualized rate.
For the second consecutive month prices have fallen at earlier stages of production. The PPI for core intermediate goods fell 0.2 percent in May and is up only 0.5 percent over the last 12 months. The more volatile price index for core crude goods fell 1.3 percent and stands 7.4 percent below its peak last September.
Further easing of price pressures is indicated by May's fall in trade prices. Core import prices were flat in the month and up 1.3 percent over the past 12 months. The leveling of import prices in May was broadly-based, including a 0.1 percent rise in nonfuel industrial supplies. However, the price of materials associated with nondurable supplies rose 1.0 percent and select building materials rose 1.5 percent. Though these categories account for less than 6 percent of the overall import index, their prices rose over the last year 7.9 percent and 4.4 percent, respectively.
Core export prices fell 0.1 percent in May and stand only 0.2 percent above their level of May 2011. Last month's fall in export prices was more heavily concentrated in industrial supplies, including every category. However, the price of electrical generating equipment rose 0.7 percent and that of non-auto consumer durables rose 1.5 percent.
Overall, this report is consistent with previous months—indicating stable and moderate inflation in core consumer prices and large falls in energy. With prices at earlier stages of production falling along with flat import prices there is a potential for some easing of consumer price inflation. Unfortunately, May's $0.03 rise in real hourly earnings was entirely attributable to the fall in energy prices as nominal wages grew less than 0.1 percent in the month.

There is a great caption in there somewhere but for the life of me I can't think of one - The Beatles and Star Wars, there must be a link in there somewhere.
You've just got the left stormtrooper's foot in, If you'd tipped your camera down slightly you would have got it all in, just a slight niggle. A very clear picture and totally original. It just needs a killer caption/title!

Just thought of a title - not a very good though!

The Fab Four?! - Oh never mind, I told you it wasn't very good!
I'll keep thinking!

Grabbing her by her waist he pulled her closer almost crushing her against him and smirked ,"Shhh..",He placed his fingers on her lips, "Miss Gulaal Tomar'First let me show you that Who's the MAN!!"
Gulaal's heart was thumping heavily trying to pump maximum blood in all her blood vessels given to the effect of adrenaline which signaled her to either FIGHT OR FLIGHT.But she chose to fight .Kesar looked at her.Face haughty and bold and tiny dew drops of sweat on her forehead did convey to him that she was a bit apprehensive but she yelled back at him, "Ya show me 'Show me that you are a man Kesar Rawat .Dikhao kitna dum hai'Ladki k haath bandhkar use darana bahaduri nahi buzdili hoti hai'You are a coward 'You MORON!!Just untie my hands once and Let me show you who exactly you are!!"
(Kesar's CONFESSION : Honestly these words would have infuriated me at any other circumstances,But I looked at her pretty amused almost SHAMELESSLY .I was amazed at her knack of provoking me )
Evil woman..!!Kesar thought as he turned her so her back was against his chest once again and then ran his hands up her sides, letting his fingertips trail across her arms.
Gulaal felt like smashing his face then and there. All of a sudden Kesar untied her hands . Gulaal looked at him stunned as his he marveled at his own wittiness and within seconds untied her hands and pushed her way, "Yes show me !!"
Gulaal rubbed her wrists in anger and pain and glared at him .She was angry-Angry at being treated as a piece of chit-angry at the kind of indignation he made her bear -angry at the shameless look he gave her without even an iota of remorse or guilt on his face. His face gleaming in a bashful smile with his dazzling set of teeth shining equally brightly like his face.She pointed her fingers towards him and then signalled a thumbs down AS SHE YELLED , "Ayeee'Wait till I break those teeth of yours'" With a boisterous smile burst into a cynical laugh "Ya come on show me now..M waiting'",Rolling the rope in his palms turn by turn,coiling it around his fingers ,He gazed at her with wolfish eyes.Kesar wanted to burst into peals of laughter as her anger sent him into throes of ecstasy.He had never met someone like her,who wasn't even sacred of him and above all challenged him .He found this thought absolutely delightful and delectable. What started as a simmering REVENGE encounter turned out to be a fun game for him which he enjoyed thoroughly? He felt amused at his own thought that he actually began considering that SLAP a boon for him.Had that not triggered his anger ,he would have never had so much thrill .He was enjoying every moment. EVERY SECOND OF THIS GAME WAS WORTH IT!!
"Y a show me ..I hope you know all the rules..right!!"
"You betcha'.I have fought many battles since I was a child so do not dare me ok'"
Gulaal fumed in rage and ran upto him to hit him but Kesar was already prepared and ducked that attack of hers .Gulaal was shocked .She tried another blow but he ducked again .Kesar looked at her carefully through and through and chuckled.She was looking fumingly hot in her floral polka dotted frock that ended inches above her knees.The beautiful silk fabric perfectly dimpled along her curves and the hem rolled in a conical flare as she flung herself to hit him..Kesar ducked once again to avoid her blow which enraged Gulaal more.Her face turned more red which made her more tempting .The twirl of Gulaal while he ducked had so much momentum that the clip of her hair loosened and broke added to music of their heartbeats and furious breathings somersaulting and crash landing on the floor.Her long tresses flung in the air almost slapping Kesar's face ,a tingling sprinkle from her still damp curls danced in the green light beam back and forth.Everything just froze for a few seconds.Kesar felt as if had been paralyzed and all his senses became suspended for a second.The beam of light illuminated Gulaal's face and the tiny droplets that had found their way from her damp droopy curls sparkled like diamonds on her petulant lips .The stupor was absolutely traumatizing for him .As he knew not what had struck him.But a moment later he convulsed with a STRONG UNKNOWN EMOTION !!His eyes were fixed upon him and he was in trance unable to move or do anything.(KESAR CONFESSION-With a dreamy look across my face shouting that I was content doing nothing but looking at her ,I stood there almost DUMBFOUNDED!!)
(TINKY'S TWEET-Such a loser'Look he was not even ashamed of his deeds)
"Ouch",Kesar screamed in pain as she hit him on his face almost knocking him out breaking his stupor .A sharp vice like pain and a tiny trickle of blood oozed from the corner of his mouth reminded Kesar that she had finally hit him.Gulaal stood there with a smirk on her face ,happy and content and ran again towards him but this time Kesar got up and nodded his head squeezing his eyes in rage and before she hit him grabbed her fists and twirling her aroud so that her back was against his chest caged her in his strong muscular arms and gritted his teeth , "Tch tch'Tumhe kuch bhi nahi pata ..Listen RULE NO 1.NEVER BE THE FIRST TO ATTACK'OK'"
He tightened his grip around her while she struggled to free herself ,but his strong grip was too much for her .She kept on moving and struggling but Kesar was in no mood to budge.(KESAR'S CONFESSION-She looked timid but the fact was she was difficult to tame .The more I tried to hold her the more bravely she put up a fight.To make matters WORSE her nearness was almost choking me to death.Her damp curls were tickling my chin in the next possible way and her fresh intoxicating aroma made me so dizzy that there was a point of time I felt like burying my face in those dark long tresses and feeling her all over .The danger was exhilarating .The THRILL was INEXPLICABLE)
"Arghhh",Kesar screamed and howled in pain as Gulaal dug her sharp teeth deep in his arms badly brusing him and his grip loosened on her and within seconds she thrust her elbow in his ribs knocking him off her .Kesar bent holding his chest and arms in extreme pain..Gulaal was happy .EXTREMELY ECSTATIC !! She smiled and rubbed her palms in glee and giggled in contempt, "Tch tch tch'.RULE NO 2. NEVER CONSIDER YOUR OPPONENT WEAKER THAN YOU'"
She smiled one of the wildest crooked smiles ,as Kesar looked at her with rage.His eyes became bloodshot in anger still limping and hunching trying to grab his breath and suffer the excruciating pain on his arms and ribs .Gulaal nodded her head in victory and started walking away .Just as she started walking away,He ran upto her ,ploughing into her ,the momentum so sudden and unexpected that both of them fell on the floor rolling over each other ,finally Kesar stapled her on to the floor ,her hands outstretched and pined to the floor palms up .Kesar was leaning on her while Gulaal tried to free herself but his grip tightened as he kept her pined on the floor.Seconds maybe minutes passed in the struggle.Only muffled breathings continued as Gulaal tried her best to free herself.Kesar looked at Gulaal.Her rapid breathings became tired and her bosom which was heaving up and down became slower as she looked at him hatred and anger.Kesar felt something inside him cracking again.Still trembling from the tornado that had swept over him ,he remained on his guard though every second ,he had an urge to look at her and fall for her charms.(KESAR'S CONFESSION-Something STUPID inside me convinced that she would not notice the look on my face and would not understand even if I aimed for the starsBut Guess what I was terribly and sadly mistaken)
"What'? Don't you dare 'you filthy Rascal",Gulaal screamed in DISGUST.
Kesar never realised that when his fingers had started tracing the curves of her face in a moment of passion.
"Nothing '.Just wanted to say'RULE NO 3 'NEVER TURN YOUR BACK ON YOUR ENEMY '"
Kesar was embarrassed a bit and hastily got up freeing her and was perturbed and confused .Gulaal was shivering and trembling in anxiety mixed with fear.SHE COULD NOT BELIEVE HE LEFT HER. Kesar looked as if a deer caught in headlights as he looked absolutely leering at her glistening skin of her legs as her dress was a little unmanaged.
"YOU #%^^^$&$&%^" ,Gulaal yelled startling him and Kesar did not realise why but he turned around avoiding her sight.Gulaal got up fuming in anger and kicked his feet almost toppling him and he landed straight on the ground and she started kicking him mercilessly on his ribs and yelled ,"RULE NO 4-Savdhani hati durghatna ghati'Take this'".She kept on screming while kicking his ribs.Nothing mattered any more as Kesar kept smiling at her while she kicked him .(KESAR'S CONFESSION-I completely lost everything that moment. I was so busy looking at her while she kicked me that the pain did not matter anymore.)
Gulaal looked at him confused as she kept grinning like a cynic as she hit him'Gulaal's breath started leaving her as she was fighting much beyond her strength. Her stamina had given up by now. Yet she gasped and panted kicking him.
"Bas bas bas..OK that's it now'..I GIVE UP'You win'",Kesar flamboyant voice broght Gulaal back to reality and she stopped hunching her shoulders trying to regain her breath .the sond of her wild breathings echoed in the seclusion .Kesar held his hands in surrender position and continued, "I give up..You win'" and finally extended his arms while lying down .Gulaal looked at him with suspicion.
"I swear I give up'Game over..You win HANDS DOWN !!",He looked at her with imploring eyes with his hands extended .Gulaal squeezed her eyes and walked towards him with apprehensive steps .
Kesar looked deep into her eyes, "I said it's over ..YOU WIN!! TRUST ME!!"
Gulaal narrowed her eyes and extened her hands and Kesar held that in hi sgrip and got up .
"Maan gaye!! WELL PLAYED !! BUT'.",Before Gulaal could think of anything he dived into her , ploughing into her pushing and stapling her against one of the walls,her hands outstretched and pined to the wall palms up.Gulaal was absolutely in shock and terror as Kesar piecing gaze burned her whole existsence .He was dangerously close to her without an inch of space between them .His alcohiol mixed breath warm breaths scorching her skin as he spoke in a deep husky tone, "Ek akhri aur sabse important RULE- NEVER EVER SAMJHI..NEVER EVER TRUST ME!!"
Gulaal was in a state of absolute shock as she saw him .She was taken aback just as Kesar had expected but little did she knew that though he outwitted her ,he himself was nearing his end.He felt that he had no strength left to fight his attraction and desire for her now.His feeble body was consumed in the fire of Ecstasy as he looked into her deep eyes which were fluttering in surprise and shock. A furious revolt arose and declared open war against his logics. As if he ever cared for them. Gulaal was still in the state of shock but to her surprise ,for seconds she was lost in his deep eyes which were exploring her as if there will be no tomorrow. The sheer thrill of being desired like this made her react abnormally .No one in her life had ever looked at her with so much longing. She was confused , her mind cluttered and she herself was clueless when the abhorrence in her heart was masked by an unusual sensation in the pit of her stomach. Her mouth dried and she was clueless what exactly was happening as she felt a little hypnotized looking at his eyes which were fixed on her.(TINKY'S TWEET-His eyes were wreaking havoc on my mind and I felt as if someone had suddenly started throwing all logics out of the window.)
Gradually moving closer, looking directly into her eyes, Kesar felt a charge of excitement that he knew but wasn't sure was one-sided. His grip on her hands loosened a bit and he slid them tracing the whole length of her arms .A sequence of goose bumps defied all the boundaries as Gulaal could make out nothing what she was exactly doing. Maintaining the electric eye-contact, and in agonizing slow motion, he moved closer and closer until their lips were practically touching.
Gulaal was struck with lightening as her eyes popped out in horror jolting back to reality as she pushed him back and was about to run away ,when Suddenly Kesar twirled her and twisted her arm and pulled her back and her collided with his chest.Her face grimaced at the twist on her wrist.Kesar moved his face closer to her cheeks so that her breaths were fanning her entire being .He whispered gently, "Sun'"
Gulaal turned her face around a bit, 'Hmm ",She tried hard to find her voice
"GO",Kesar mustered all his strength trying to reason..Gulaal looked at him confused.
"Haan ja ..GO NOW'Ek pal bhi mat ruk yahan..Warna main kuch aisa kadam utha lunga jahan se tera aur mera lautna mushkil hi nahi namumkin ho jayega..Isliye go'",Kesar nuzzled her cheeks ,with his eyes closed and in the highest state of mental intoxication muttered, "Go please GO'Kyunki yahan tu agar ek bhi pal ruki to main apne aap ko rok nahi paunga aur agar main shuru ho gaya to na tu mujhe aur na hi apne ko rok payegi..Isiye ja dur chali mujhse jitni dur ho sake aur wo bhi jaldi"Gulaal gulped a huge lump in her throat as Kesar grazed her face brushing his lips giving her goosebumps.She gasped and closed her eyes.
"Sun ruki kyun hai ja na...",Kesar tried to control his madeness still moving his face all over her neck .
His words sunk deep iside her and Gulaal looked at him with panting eagerness as he loosened his grip freeing her and pushing her away .She looked at him in confusion and inexplicable exclamation escaped her mouth , "Hain?"
"Nahi samjhi'Koshish bhi mat kar..Go just go'.JUST GO AWAY NOW",Kesar signalled her to go away
Gulaal was in the state of utter shock and kept looking at him .
"Don't you understand? GO NOW'!!Go far away from me'Or else" , Kesar yelled at the top of his voice .Gulaal was startled and started walking away in confusion with dragging footsteps still trying to process and comprehend whatever happened. Each and every scene which happened a few moments ago flashed in front of her eyes as she picked up her bag and keys and started walking away slowly .She stopped for a second to look back and saw Kesar kicking one of the pillars and running his fingers through his hairs and leaned on one of the walls with his eyes closed and continuously nodded his head.Gulaal was scared now as she started walking away in confusion again.
"Oyeee'", His roaring voice stopped her dead in her tracks as she turned around.He was standing at the same position with his hands folded across his bosom with a smirk on his placed, he placed his hands on his lips and chuckled loudly, "I SAID RUN'GO AWAY NOW'KYUNKI MERA IRADA KABHI BHI BDAL SAKTA HAI PHIR MAT KEHNA WARNING NAHI DI..JUST GO AWAY FROM ME!!"
Gulaal was spooked by the piercing look he was giving her.Her heartbeat started racing a mile every second and equally fast were her legs as she really started running.His words echoed in her ears as she reached the car and , her hands trembled as she fumbled with her car keys dropped them almost twice finally unlocking and trembled again to switch on the ignition.
"Oye'", His voice startled Gulaal so much that she almost jumped out of her skin and she felt as her heart would explode with shock as she saw him leaning and smirking at her at the car window .
Gulaal broke into impulsive hiccups as Kesar's bloodshot eyes with an extremely passionate look lingered at her. Before she could say anything ,he extended his hand towards her , "ise to leti ja.."
Gulaal's eyes fell on her broken hair clip lying on his palms(TINKY'S TWEET-Who the hell cared for that damn clip .I wanted to run away as soon as possible.)Without wasting a second Gulaal picked up the clip from his palm when suddenly he grabbed her hand.Gulaal yelled and struggled in shock, "Damn you leave my hand 'I said leave my hand"Gulaal smiled and said, "Listen tu mujhse bahut dur rehna samjhi'.Bahut dur'..ok GO NOW ..!!",Kesar was about to place a peck on her hands when she twitched a bit and he smiled and left it and Gulaal drove as fast as she could still scared and shocked.(KESAR'S CONFESSION- I did not know what had possessed me but if she had not left the very moment ,I did not know what I would have done to her that night. Every second to the fight the temptation to pull her out of the car was such a herculean task that I died a thousand deaths fighting my desires and keeping me back in senses. That night I felt Like I'd died and gone to heaven. At that point I wouldn't have even cared if I did die, as long as I got to hold her in my arms. I was so consumed with an insatiable desire for her .I was not sure what would have happened that night. Scary Ain't it ?I was scared too. My own thoughts scared me to death)
He slouched indolently behind the wheel, his left elbow resting comfortably on the car window , fingers steadying the wheel but not gripping it, tapping in rhythm to the tune of a song on the music player .
"Tu hi tu tu hi tu..SATRANGI RE..
Ishq par zor nahi hai ye wo atish ghalib
Jo lagae na lage
Aur bujhaye na bane"
The breeze swept through his face wafting them across his shoulders ,eyelids droopy and still dreamy .His own thoughts still cluttered 'ON FIRE- and mind anxious about the happenings of the evening. Gulaal had not left him ever since then .No matter how much he tried to tame his wild thoughts. They all came back to haunt him. He was repenting the second he let her go. If he had not let his inner conscience wake him him ,she would have been there with him right now in his arms. This very thought thrilled him and a smile escaped his lips.
"Kesar grrr'Pure time kya aise hi apne aap soch kar muskarata rahega'ya kuch baat bhi karega'.",She tuned the rear view mirror towards herself and combed her hair..and fixed her bindi.
"Hmmm ,haan..kya..",Kesar turned left towards her completely uninterested.
"Kesar bata na main kaise lag rahi hun..Ye dress Dadda(Brother) lekar aya hai'achi hai na'.",Twinkle was beaming in her excesses today was her birthday.
Kesar was still lost in his own thoughts and Gulaal's face flashed before her eyes.
"Kesar..bata na'",Twinkle squeezed his arms
"Hmm Tu an Khule balon mein jyada achi lagti hai'.",Kesar replied still thinking about Gulaal.
"Are you even listening main dress k barein mein puch rahi thi'",Twinkle pursed her lips.
"Oh Shut Up Twinkle'Dekh mood mat kharab kart era birthday hai isliye chup hun warana'"
"Warna kya baat to aise kar raha hai ki jaise tujhe meri parwah hi nahi'Tue k to late aya mujhe pick up karne teri responsibility banti hai kuch'.",She folded her arms across her bosom.
"Kaun si responsibility?'Ek to Negi humesha mujhe apnai car ka driver samjah kar teri naukri karne bhej deta hai'upar se teri bak bak..Dekh Twinkle tu chup chap baith warna yehi utha kar bahar phenk dunga'",Kesar said fuming in irritataion.
TWINKLE : "Theek hai bachu..attitude dikha de Shaadi k baad nahi dikha payega'"
KESAR : "Kaun si shaadi ..Dekh Twinkle bachpan mein hum ghar ghar khelte the iska matlab yeh nahi kit u ajeeb sapne dekhein bachpan k Mazak ko itna seriously nahi lete..'
TWINKLE : "Dekh Kesar Ija(Mother) ne kaha tha ki teri shaadi mujhse hi hogi to maine to bachpan se ek hi sapna dekha hai'."
KESAR : "Kaun sa sapana..Bachpan mein meri Ija(Mother) bhi kehti thi ki main SUPERMAN hun'To kya ba main laal chaddhi pehen kar udta phirun'WAKE UP Twinkle aur bakwas band kar warna yehi chhod k chala jaunga'"
Twinkle twitched her face,"Theek hai akdu main chup rahungi'"She smiled and mumbled to herself , "Teri shaadi mujhse nahi to aur kisse hogi..hmmm..?"
Gulaal's home
"Tinky di", Madhav asked her as she rushed inside
"Khana lagaun..?Chinky Baba to Party se late lautenge.."
"Nahi mujhe bhuk nahi hai'", Gulaal gave a quick reply and ran upstairs towards her room.
She closed the door of her room, Swinging the keys on the table and fell on the bed like a lifeless statue. Still shivering and trembling in fear and confusion ,the words of Kesar came back to haunt her .His eyes, his piercing gaze coming back to haunt her made her sick ,miserable and scared. She felt guilty .She felt angry at herself .A tiny droplet was about to escape her eyes. She was lost in her own thoughts when her mobile phone beeped. Getting a grip of herself, she read the message and her eyes twinkled with joy. She opened her laptop and quickly connected to video chat.
HIS smiling face flashed on the screen.
KARAN : "Hey Tinks'"
"CHAMP", Her face illuminated with glee.
KARAN : "Where have you been ?"
GULAAL : "Kuch nahi ..bas Gym mein thi"
KARAN : "I called you up several times 'I was so scared..all the time..ANY PROBLEM Tinks..Chal jane de I know My Tinks would solve any problem in her life herself hai na'Missing me'?"
Gulaal's voice choked in horror.Her eyes almost brimmed with tears .She slightly nodded her head .She felt terribly guilty.
GULAAL : "Listen CHAMP I need to tell you something.."
KARAN : "Not now Tinks..I am logging off 'Early morning flight so'Catch ya later'"
KARAN : "Later Tinks'.Bye'I love you'You love me '?"
Gulaal nodded her head'
KARAN : "Then Say it silly'"
"I love you too'",Gulaal smiled and reassured herself more than him.
The screen went blank as the chat disconnected. Gulaal heaved a heavy sigh and a tear rolled down her cheeks.

Apologies for this delayed comments Piyu, I had to really try very hard not to read the update cause I knew I won't get chance to write my comments over the phone and I didn't want any delay in penning down my reaction after reading the chapters, I guess it works well both ways, cause that way I can improve my endurance too(hopefully!!!!)
I like the brother-sister bond made strong by inexplicably busy mother but I am sure there is a reason behind that too…What is interesting is how her indifferent/busy attitude have brought out completely contradictory behavioural traits in her two children, Gulaal a complete go-getter and tomboyish, fiercely independent, bull headed even whereas Chinky as the name suggests fearful, timid, wallowing in self-pity and unable to express his opinions/views clearly not because he wouldn't be heard but just that he doesn't know how to
I like the closeness between Rewa and Gulaal though 10 years younger Gulaal is able to share her innermost thoughts with her, including guys, I found this very intriguing cause being in relationship with her brother she is her future sister-in-law and to tease one's bhabhi about someone's imploring eyes requires special kind of bond, quite interesting…..
The entire car park scene was brilliantly written, I could visualize things as if it was happening right in front of my eyes,I know what Kesar did was wrong, ambushing her with help of his friends to terrify her and then going beyond the plan but at a point I think he realized that even though he could see a reflection of himself in her,she was a vulnerable, beautiful and charming girl who's was putting up a brave front trying to hide that unshed tear that he could see through and the retreat from that point onwards- for the sake of preserving his pride as well as hers…The anger that smirk,that amusement and that inexplicable pull towards his destiny is what makes this guy absolute paradox only his nemesis can unravel…naturally his friends had no clue and followed his orders to leave them alone…more so his need than hers…hope I made sense…
And now to the fab game between the two that had everything one could think of anger, fun, ego, struggle, camaradie, sportsman spirit, pride, fear and lots of passion and inexplicable pull both felt towards each other,finally ending in the realization for both…lovely..in fact brilliant…let's see how far and how long they can now go on w/o the other….just matter of time isn't it…one is fearful of his own uncontrollable urge and other is not even aware of what she almost surrendered…ahh these two….
That small chat with Twinkle urff Talli conveyed it all I guess or is she going to nag us like she did in the show? Hope not,she irritates me as much yaar,I hope you can restrict her presence to bare minimum…
Hmm Gulaal feeling guilty for that loss of control for few minutes and now she is back in her senses i.e. getting grip on herself…really…how long for...lovely update Piyu…..I am terribly sorry for my late comments,all I can do is apologise…I will try and get to it sooner ,from next update…please update soon…

Bulletin Article
Considerable effort has been devoted to the development of simulation algorithms for facies modeling, whereas a discussion of how to combine those techniques has not existed. The integration of multiple geologic data into a three-dimensional model, which requires the combination of simulation techniques, is yet a current challenge for reservoir modeling. This article presents a thought process that guides the acquisition and modeling of geologic data at various scales. Our work is based on outcrop data collected from a Jurassic carbonate ramp located in the High Atlas mountain range of Morocco. The study window is 1 km (0.6 mi) wide and 100 m (328.1 ft) thick. We describe and model the spatial and hierarchical arrangement of carbonate bodies spanning from largest to smallest: (1) stacking pattern of high-frequency depositional sequences, (2) facies association, and (3) lithofacies. Five sequence boundaries were modeled using differential global position system mapping and light detection and ranging data. The surface-based model shows a low-angle profile with modest paleotopographic relief at the inner-to-middle ramp transition. Facies associations were populated using truncated Gaussian simulation to preserve ordered trends between the inner, middle, and outer ramps. At the lithofacies scale, field observations and statistical analysis show a mosaiclike distribution that was simulated using a fully stochastic approach with sequential indicator simulation.
This study observes that the use of one single simulation technique is unlikely to correctly model the natural patterns and variability of carbonate rocks. The selection and implementation of different techniques customized for each level of the stratigraphic hierarchy will provide the essential computing flexibility to model carbonate settings. This study demonstrates that a scale-dependent modeling approach should be a common procedure when building subsurface and outcrop models.

The impact of the rapid economic growth of "Asian giants" China and India is such that African oil supplies now face increased demand to fuel this growth and, therefore, increased E&P activity.

Since establishment of AAPG Africa in 2000, the Region's leadership teams over the years have shown strong commitment and passion toward the Association achieving its goals for the region. Their dedicated efforts have resulted in not only an increased awareness of AAPG, but also steady growth of the Region's membership, from 450 in 1999 to over 3,060 in June 2014.
For those of us in the AAPG European Region, 2011 began where 2010 left off – very busy.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department is working its way back to full-staffing capacity in a critical program, the Community Oriented Policing Services, thanks to a new federal grant.
The Sheriff's department was one of 23 California law enforcement agencies to receive funding from the COPS Hiring Program Grant awarded by the Justice Department this week. The overall grant amount nationally is $240 million; more than $71 million will be spent to fund 190 police officer positions in California.

"As cities in California continue to confront difficult budget cuts, I am pleased that this funding will put more police officers on the streets to protect our families and communities," said Senator Barbara Boxer. "It is common sense – more cops on the beat means less crime."
While the City of Santa Clarita did not specifically receive grant funding, COPS team members often work around the city in the unincorporated areas, so local residents will see a benefit. Lt. John Voza of the Sheriff's COPS Bureau said that the $8.5 million from the grant will help rebuild the bureau that has been affected by recent budget cuts.
"When the COPS bureau started in the 1990s, it was funded by federal money, but in 2002, federal funds ran out," he said. "But the Board of Supervisors continued the funding because they could see the benefit. At that time, there were more than 200 sworn officers in the COPS bureau, but with budget problems, we're down to less than 150 officers."
Voza said that the Sheriff's Department requested funding for 50 positions in its grant request and were awarded 25.
"We were given one of the highest number of positions," he said. Only four agencies in the state received funding for 25 positions: the cities of Oakland and Sacramento and the Sacramento County Sheriff.
"The COPS bureau has deputies assigned throughout the county to unincorporated areas and their main responsibilities are working on quality of life issues in those areas," Voza explained. "That includes everything from crime problems, gang issues, vandalism; all of the life issues such as parking problems, speeding vehicles and street vendors."
"The grant will provide 25 additional deputy sheriffs to work on community policing efforts including these quality of life problems, so it will be a huge advantage for us," he concluded.
The Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS), a program long supported by Senator Boxer, gives hiring grants to help bolster police forces. The grants provide all of the approved salary and benefits for entry-level officer positions for three years and require police departments to retain the grant funded positions for a fourth year.

Climate change continues to plague the planet, new study shows
Global warming naysayers won't believe it, but ice caps and glaciers continue to melt at a feverish pace, and people are the blame.
A new federal study shows that the world in 2012 continued to warm, causing sea levels to rise, snow to melt and heat to build up on the planet. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's 260-page report written by 384 scientists shows that temperatures in the last year hit the top 10 for the globe, The Associated Press reports.
The upward climb of the thermometer because of human activity is generating a new normal for the Earth. But that's not good.
Greenhouse gases have to be curtailed before a point of no return is reached. The new study indicates that the nations of the world need to collaborate on ways to reduce global warming.
Waiting and allowing the naysayers to dominate the discussion will only create more problems for everyone.

(Page 1 of 10, 188 total comments)I t one whenever I am going to eat something that has a high fat or calorie intake. I have noticed weight loss and increased energy while taking it. I have noticed that I sweat a lot when I take it and do any kind of activity, which is usually housework.
I use to take these and they actually work. They give you extra energy and helped me lose weight. I didn't drink booze or smoke and I ate healthier when I was on these they did help me a lot. The dumbest thing I did once while I was on them I slammed down an energy drink ( i know... not so smart! but i had to work 18 hours that day :( lol!) and OMG I got sick, and had the shakes. But it was my fault. If you use them properly they are great! Now, that I'am working graveyards again, m thinking of going back on these. :) good luck!
I took this pill beore they did have some amazing effects. but if you have any mental illness you should not take them cause they can bring you down emotionally.but i lost 20 pounds in a month and got to eat everything i wanted.I exercised in the mornings everytime i went to school.I myself took 3 in one day and had some shaky side effects.
I have gained 10 lbs while using stacker 3
just started taking it hoping for good results. also listen to the warnings on the bottle dont take with caffeine. I drank a rockstar hoping to improve the effects being stupid and not thinking and started shaking and blacking out while standing. If u want to loose weight take stacker 3 if u want some low grade coke take stacker 3 and a rockstar or monster! but other than that seems legit!
I weighed 240 pounds and went to the fat doctor and got on your standard weight loss pills. After 3 months was down to 208 and decided to get off the pills. After 2 days I was back to my sluggish self. Wanted to sleep a lot. I work10 hrs a day and with 2 kids when iI get home there is no time to rest. Been on stacker 3 for 2 days and it seems to be helping with energy and hopefully I can loose another 8 pounds.
I quit smoking 2 years ago, and found it next to impossible to keep my stomach trim. I started taking Stacker 3 seven days ago. I have lost 12 lbs. I went from 216 lbs down to 204 lbs in one week. I now have my 32 inch waist again. I love it.
I love your product i have went from a size 15 to a 4
This stuff works well. I take one before work everynight and if I'm eating fast food or unhealthy dinner. It keeps me from gaining weight and helps me lose weight. I've tried other energy pills and they are just awful. I shake, sweat, and feel like passing out. With this I feel alert and focused.
I struggled with my weight after having children and a hysterectomy. I tried stackers 3 as a last result and went from 195lbs to 105lbs. A size 18 to a size zero! I did stay on a diet and exercise regiman while taking stackers 3. Without this pill I believe I could not have done it.
Just confused as to why Ambe 1023 and Jessica has the exact same response on the same day within the same hour. Im confused. Id rather have real responses. However, i only came on here to see what others had to say before purchasing them. I did however, have a friend who started taking them in march. Its two months later and she went from 200 to 174. She looks great . Hopefully they work for me too since im going to purchase mine today.
I have been taken Stacker 3 for 1 month and so far I have lost 25 pounds. I also work out at the gym 5 days a week. There is no healthy lose weight fast pill out there, work out,eat healthy and u will shed those unwanted pounds. I take 2 a day . Make a goal and work toward it. Good Luck and remember u can do it!!!
i am back on track started taking stacker 3 i weigh 202 lets see how long it takes to get down to 150 lbs .
I work out 5 days a week,I take 1 pill 45 minutes before going to the gym and I have energy that keeps me going. Love it!!! Also I have lost 18lbs, I have been working out,eating healthy along stacker . I have been doing all this for a month.
I am a mother of 3, and weigh 152, hoping to lose at least 30 lbs. I work out 4 times a week! I hope stacker 3 works for me!
I love this product. i have spent hundreds of dollars on all sorts of different fat loss pills. But i always find myself resorting back to stackers. They seem to be the most effective when it comes to keeping the weight off.
I have taken Stacker 3 for 2 days now and I've never come across a product that curbs my appetite so much. I have read a lot of the reviews and I see a common result. I can't say how much weight loss the product will help with long term but I can say that if you are mentally ready to accept a change in your life, this product seems like it will assist you. My goal is 53 pounds in 60 days (the length of time I have remaining in Afghanistan). Will document changes weekly and report back.
Just tried it yesterday... took one just incase I had a bad reaction to the meds but was fine... so today I just took one with breakfast then one with lunch... hope that I could start shedding the weight soon...
Almost 3 weeks ago I started taking Stacker 3 to help loose weight. I am a pre-k teacher so I am on my feet all day for more than 10 hours, and I do lots of chores, etc to burn calories. However I have been overweight my whole life. At my heaviest I was 300. I was able to loose 60lbs before getting pregnant and I only gained 20 back. When I started using Stacker 3 and exercising 3 weeks ago I weighed in at 250 lbs. My waist was 53". I do not have scales so I have not weighed myself yet (I'm buying some next week, can't wait) but I did measure my waist yesterday and it measured 50". I couldn't believe it, still can't. I usually take 1 in the morning before work, and sometimes 1 after my lunch break. One day I took the maximum 3 and felt really awful and not right at all...very shaky and lightheaded and wasn't able to focus on anything. So I will not take that many anymore. The 3 changes I made were adding the stacker 3's, counting my calories, and adding walking/jogging to my everyday life.

Excise duty and the hike in cotton prices forced manufacturers
to raise garment prices. This made consumers wary of purchases and has lead to an increase in inventory. As a result 'End of Season' sales started earlier than usual this year. For instance Shoppers Stop began their sales from August 7 instead of August 15. Govind Shrikhande, MD and CEO of Shoppers Stop, is of the view that everyone started their sales early to increase the cash inflow as prices had gone up, affecting sales. Last year, Century Mills which gave discounts up to 50 per cent, this year it gave customers a flat 50 per cent off on the total bill if they bought four or more apparel. This resulted in higher sales. Arvind Retail expects the coming days to be tougher on the apparel industry. "We began the discount season late yet the impact seems imminent," says J Suresh, Managing Director and CEO, Arvind Lifestyle Brands and Arvind Retail.
Though cotton prices have started falling but fabric makers had procured most of it when prices were high. Despite a 50 per cent fall in cotton prices in recent weeks, new procurement will start only after three to four months, when new cotton comes into the market. During that time, they will have to get rid of the old stocks. Rahul Mehta, President, The Clothing Manufacturers' Association of India (CMAI) points out that the month of July saw the full impact of excise duty on branded garments wherein demand slackened. However, it's doubtful if the extended discount season helped apparel manufacturers or retailers. Margins squeezed for almost all players with demand dipping by as much as 15 per cent. What's more, squeezed margins have forced most players to even cut down on production. Now, with festive buying round the corner, retailers and brands are pinning their hope and expecting business to pick up.

Ohio Elite Showcase - "Scouting Report"
The brackets have been published for the upcoming Ohio Elite College Showcase. We are in the "Vapor" group and will play:
- Cleveland Futbol Club from Strongsville, OH which is a far southwestern suburb of Cleveland.
- Javanon SC. Name sounds familiar but just can't place them?

Looks to be a well matched bracket.
Game #1: Fri. Feb 19 - Cleveland FC
Here's the club website: Cleveland Futbol Club
Here's the team's website: Cleveland FC 91/92
They are currently ranked number 4 in Ohio North and 38th in Region II by NationalSoccerRanking.com while Soccer Girls has them at number 4 in Ohio North but unranked in Region II. They are a current ON State Cup Semi-Finalist from last spring. We have played this team four times since 2006. They won 2-1 in a very windy game in MRL two years ago while our girls were victorious by the same 2-1 score in the spring of 2007. In the MRL Spring 2006, the girls lost a 2-1 decision. Mockingbird came away with a 3-0 victory at last year's Ohio Elite Showcase. CFC finished at the bottom of the Premier Division spring 2008 and were relegated to the First Division this past season where they were last in a field of nine with a 2-5-1 record.
Here's the Got Soccer team page for some game scores and other information.
Game #2: Sat. Feb. 20 - Javanon

Javanon is ranked 35th in Region II by NationalSoccerRanking.com and 46th by Soccer Girls. These two teams have played 14 matches over the years and with one exception they were all low scoring affairs with a total of 18 goals in the 14 games; seven were in one game, a 4 - 3 "shootout". Mockingbird trails with 3 wins, 6 losses and 5 ties. Surprisingly, these two rivals have met only once since May 2005 and that was a 1 - 0 Mockingbird victory in pool play in the U15 State Cup.
Here's the Got Soccer team page for some game scores and other information.
Game #3: Sun. Feb 21 - Ohio Galaxies
Here's the club website: Ohio Galaxies FC

This team is unranked in both Region II and Ohio South but they do have a competitive record. They played in the MRL First Division Red last spring finishing 6th of 8 teams. Games last spring against common opponents include a 2 - 2 draw with Dakota Gold Destiny whom Mockingbird defeated 4 - 2 at Regionals. They also drew Kings SA Premier 1 - 1 whom our girls beat 4 - 0 in the semi finals of last year's Kentucky State Cup.

A new protocol makes it possible to improve the accuracy of photolithography by addressing its physical limitations
Related Articles
Photolithography uses light beams to design thin geometric patterns on the substrates of semiconductors used in microelectronic devices. This is achieved using a chemical reaction on a light-sensitive chemical, called photoresist. The trouble is that the phenomenon of light diffraction does not permit highly accurate patterns. Often, the edges of stripes have low contrast, and the distances between the stripes and the stripes' width are limited by what is referred to as Rayleigh's diffraction limit.
Now, a scientist from Russia has developed a quantum lithography protocol designed to improve the resolution of this technology. The findings of George Miroshnichenko, a physicist at Saint Petersburg National Research University of Information Technologies, Mechanics and Optics, have just been published in EPJ D.
Until now, quantum lithograph protocols have been based on multi-photon absorption. This means that the frequency of the incoming light needed to be several times smaller than the frequency required for the absorption of a single photon, to trigger the absorption of multiple photons by the photoresist. As a result, this approach requires a higher wavelength, and produces lower resolution.
Instead, Miroshnichenko establishes the formula for the probability of a single -- and no longer multiple -- photon transition from a bound state of a quantum system to a state of continuous spectrum, using the so-called Markov approximation. This makes it possible to select the exposure time and the beam's intensity to obtain a narrow stripe in the photoresist on the substrate. Thus, in negative photoresist, this protocol can be used to create a stripe with a width equal to half the wavelength and high-contrast edges. For positive photoresist, thin stripes can be formed on the substrate with a width that is substantially smaller than the wavelength, but the distance between these stripes is equal to half the wavelength.

Classroom/Voice - Finding and disabling Pop-Up Blockers
Description: Pop-up blockers are available in several forms. They are contained in many toolbars and add-ons to your internet browser, additions that come packaged with internet security applications, or within internet browsers themselves. When looking for Pop-up Blockers installed on a computer, be sure to check these three different categories of software that may contain Pop-up Blockers. Many of these applications can co-exist on a computer so it's important to be aware that you can have multiple Pop-up Blockers on their system.
