ZANY Steven Hall is urging people to vote for him after he performs in front of millions of TV viewers on Britain's Got Talent tonight.
The 53-year-old telecommunications engineer will represent Cumbria when he takes to the stage for the live semi-final with a new dance routine.
Having taken the nation by storm with his eclectic two-minute act, which saw him perform a dance to The Birdy Song, The Macarena and The Twist, he has become an overnight success.
He has gained more than 1.5 million views on YouTube and more than a thousand fans on his official Facebook site.
So, what has he got lined up for the biggest performances of his life tonight?
"It was said: 'How am I going to follow that?' Because the element of surprise has gone," he said.
"So I have taken what everybody said they would expect me to do next and not done it."
Life has changed for the Burneside Amateur Theatrical Society member since he gained three 'yes' votes from Amanda Holden, Michael McIntyre and David Hasselhoff, and a standing ovation from the Liverpool crowd.
"It was the second best experience of my life, but I can't tell you the first one," he jokes.
"Since then, it has been so busy I haven't had time to think about it.
"I have been to London several times for interviews and rehearsals."
Having performed in theatres across the Lake District, Steven set up Comedy Showtime two years ago, a five-person act that puts on performances across the region.
From this, a 10-minute dance evolved which came to form the basis of his BGT audition.
If Steven is successful tonight, he will make it through to Saturday's live final.
If victorious in the final, he will perform in front of The Queen at The Royal Variety Performance and win £100,000.
"I am nervous and confident about tonight," he said.
"Nervous because Simon Cowell is back on the show and he is held in such anticipation about what he has thought of the acts that have gone through while he's been away.
"But I am confident of my routine. I'm looking forward to it."
A BLAZE of colour filled the heavens above Kendal Castle as scores of unusually-shaped kites were flown during a two-day festival.
Hundreds of people turned out to see the skies above the central town landmark transformed into a kaleidoscope of colour.
The free event saw kites of all descriptions performing aerial acrobatics. There was a 16ft hippopotamus, flying dogs, super-sized fish and many more, all organised by SmileFactor10 and Kendal United Junior Football Club.
Event organiser Craig Harby, who attends kite festivals regularly, said he wanted to bring the joys of the event to his home town.
"I do it for smiles. If you get someone looking at your kite and smiling then that's why you do it really," said Mr Harby. "It's one of those things you either enjoy or not. It's a peaceful thing flying a kite."
Emma Whitanney, of Windermere, who was at the event with her eight-year-old son, Isaac, said: "It's fab for the area to have something like this. It's a really fun family day out."
There was also a Kendal United two-day car boot sale where a selection of kites, air toys, novelties and balloons were available to buy and fly.
Other activities included a bouncy castle, face painting, children's play area and a BMX track.
Proceeds from the kite extravaganza will go towards Kendal's Junior Football Club.
Anyone with photographs from the day should send them to email@example.com for a chance of winning a seven-foot delta flow tail kite.

"Pit Bull." There is no other breed of dog—or arguably, any other animal at all—whose mere mention can elicit such strong opinions. Try a word-associate game with your friends: Ask them what they think of when you say "Pit Bull." Chances are that by the numbers, their responses will be more negative than positive. And it's no wonder: No other type of dog is as widely banned from housing, legislated against, or incorrectly vilified by the media.
How did we get here?
Pit Bulls were once widely considered ideal family pets—affectionate, loyal and gentle with children. But in recent years, these dogs have suffered tremendously from a combination of overbreeding, bad publicity and irresponsible owners. In reality, the overwhelming majority of Pits and Pit mixes are sweet goofballs who have gotten a very bad rap.
Learn the truth.
National Pit Bull Awareness Day, on October 27, is a day of appreciation and education designed to change perceptions and stereotypes about Pit Bulls and their responsible owners. Please take a moment to learn the truth about these wonderful dogs and consider rescuing one of them from a shelter.
Are you a proud Pit Bull parent? Please participate in National Pit Bull Awareness Day, and help us dispel the myths about these dogs by leaving a comment below about your wonderful pooch.
I have two wonderful pittie mixes! Penny Lane is a rescued beagle pit mix who is one heck of a hunter, keeping our garden free of all types of rodents! Ramzee is our recent rescue pup who is so willing to learn and to please, part pit and what we think is lab as he can not get enough frisbee time! Both came from rough starts, Penny being thrown from a car and Ramzee returned to the shelter for having "too much energy". Both of my babies are excellent alert dogs but will only end up showering the visitors with kisses! I usually have snuggle bookends when on the couch... Penny on one side and Ramzee on the other. They are so willing to please and to learn. They are both absolutely amazing around my sister's 3 young children. Some how instictively knowing they need to be even more gentle on leash or when taking treats. The major key to having such lova'bull' pitties is training and exercise! This breed is truly amazing! Full of love and respect and an ability to be such goofy goofy clowns I don't think I could ever have any other breed! These are not just dogs, these are loyal companions that will pick you up even on your worst days. Give them the training, love and respect they need and you will have a best friend for life! I feel so bad for the people with such closed minds that they aren't even willing to see the true light of the breed. Wake up people... your bias is aimed at the wrong end of leash! My dogs would change your mind..........
I got my first Pit Bull at the American Family Pet Expo in Costa Mesa California from a Rescue organization (Orange Co. Friends of Homeless Pets...had to give them a plug)Lola (a red nose)was 10 weeks old. I knew nothing of Pits or big dogs in general. My last dog was a Scottie, 10yrs before that. Lola is as lovable as they come. Right away we went to training classes. I didn't want an unrully "big" dog. At 5 mos old she learned to "fetch" a ball...she is now tennis-ball obsessive. She has never has an assertive, much less agressive thought pass through her head. A year later I rescued Rocky, (a blue) who's much larger and has the typical pit bull blocky head. He's very impressive looking! He was only 8 weeks when I got him. He's very submissive and quiet and loves his treadmill. I refer to them as my 70 lb lap dog wannabes. I wouldn't have any other breed of dog. I do get some looks once in a while...a 61 yr old woman with two Pits! Wouldn't trade them for the world.
I think this conversation is much more complicated than the dichotomy of Pitt Bulls being "good" or "bad".
The question for me, is if it is alright for people to have aggressive breeds in an urban/shared space environment. When I say aggressive, I do not mean running down the streets and attacking children (which we call all agree is not acceptable). I am referring to a dog, that when it gets into a shuffle with another dog at a park is easily capable of killing that dog and severely injuring anyone that tries to break up the fight.
It is clearly the same mentality as racism to criticize a breed rather than an individual dog.
However, I live in NYC, the dog fighting capital of the world. Many of the Pitts in the dog park are rescues (which is wonderful), however they are sometimes rescues from people that have bred them for dog aggression in dog fighting circles. Most "Pitts" I see are likely Pitt mixes and either way are wonderful dogs, but SOME/FEW are very dog aggressive, and when people try to break this up it can be a blood bath. There are no Beagle fighting rings, or Beagles being breed for aggression-hence not a big problem with violent Beagle attacks, or people walking across the street with their kids when they see a Beagle.
I had a wonderful Pitt name Charger ten years ago. A cuddly black dog who was a giant 90lbs, tall and muscular. Charger came from a line off fighting dogs and had been rescued as an infant puppy. He was loving and well trained, as well as very affectionate. However, when another dog snapped at Charger, he went into a full out attack mode, like clicking into a kill mentality with the other dog. He saw a trainer often, but this problem only happened when another dog snapped at him, so he was an angel with the trainer and I. Charger once got into a fight with another Pitt Bull at a friends house, and when someone attempted to break up this awful bloody fight, charger tore off that persons jaw. Yeah, it sounds crazy, and it was. Seven days in the hospital and multiple surgeries for that friend and fellow Pitt owner. I don't think Charger even realized it was a person and not the other dog when this was happening.
I have seen many dog fights being a dog owner who goes to the dog park twice a day, but only three stick in my mind, all involving Pitt Bulls. The other tiny scuffles never made an imprint because they were so minor and the dogs just "dropped it" after a tiny fight with no injuries.
One, three months ago I watched a Pitt lock onto a Puggle who had just sniffed it as they crossed paths on a public sidewalk in San Francisco. The Pitt who belonged to a homeless person snapped and locked on the Puggle's face, and it was a bloody mess that took ten people, buckets of water and fifteen minutes to unhinge the Pitt Bull from the Puggle. I was shaking for a day after seeing this and the Puggle was severely disfigured, and rushed to the vet in a bloody mess, but lived.
The second happened in a friends living room when another friends lovable rescue PItt decided it no longer liked her cat that it had spent years getting along with. It attacked the cat, then her dog stepped in and was severely injured, and then the owner was severely injured by her Pitt trying to break this up. Everyone survived, but the cat, dog and Pitt owner all required surgery from the severity of the bites.
Yes, any breed of any dog is capable of attacking a person or dog, but not any breed is capable of doing so much damage (there is a short list). My main concern with Pitts is the dog aggression which has been breed into the fighting rescues (of course the fault of humans and not the dogs, but still a problem when you encounter this sub-category of Pitt), and how capable Pitts are of causing bodily harm in addition to this aggression is a dangerous combo.
I now have a Shiba Inu/Shepard mutt rescue. She is wild at times, but even if she had her heart set on it (and she is NEVER dog aggressive-EVER even when they snap at her she just shows them a nasty face and walks away) could never tear of someones jaw the way my old Pitt Charger did. My dog goes to the Dog Park twice a day, and although I let her play with any dog, I am openly a little racist and stand very close when she plays with Pitts.
Although the lab biting more than Pitt statistic may be true, what about the Death by Dog Attack statistic, Pitts are pretty high on that list, along with the other aggressive breeds
That said, it is absolutely ignorant to think that all of any type of dog is violent. There are wonderful dogs of any breed. This is a very complicated conversation in many shades of grey.
I found my pedigreed Staffordshire Terrier (Pit Bull) abused & abandoned as a puppy in a park garden, hence her name DAISY. I only recently lost her at age 12. She was always a very sweet affectionate & playful creature, only showing agression if it were shown towards her. I recently changed home owners insurance companies to AAA of S. Cal and found they would not insure if a Pit Bull was at the residence! Their stance appears to be nothing more than unresearched bias. Short of changing insurance providers again, is there anything ASPCA or it's members can do to address this anti Pit Bull bias?
I`ve been reading some of those beautiful stories and thought I need to ad mine, too. Through a horrible tragedy we lost 4 of our companions this year (our house burnt down). One of my surviving dogs, Harley, a pit/weimeraner mix, who always was my clown , managed to wake me . He is the sweetest dog and everybody who meets him, loves him, even though his energy level is always high..thankfully we live on 10 acres and he gets to run a lot. After a few months of broken hearts I felt Harley went into a depression, where actually he was reflecting me. We decided to go to APA (Austin pets alive) here in Austin and find a new girlfriend for Harley. We needed a dog, that got along with cats, dogs...chicken :-). We decided to adopt Zena, a pit/staff mix lady, about 6 years old. Zena has managed to help heal my broken heart and got Harley up and running again. She is the sweetest lady and the cats just love her. Every day she is so excited to bounce in the thicket , trying to find critters, we will love and cherish her as long as she lives and I am really glad we got her and Harley is , too :-)
I have owned 5 pitties and they were all the sweetest, most goofy, loveable animals alive. A couple lived to ripe old ages but a couple had cancer. I miss all of them. Right now I'm not able to have a large dog but when I lived in Huntington Beach there were many,many pitbulls in the area and I got my full of petting and loving on my goofy loves. One, a really big boy, lived a couple of buildings up from my apartment and when his owner, a tiny little woman, would clean she would park him outside on the sidewalk until she was done vacuuming. And without any leash or chain, there he would sit waiting to be let back into the house. It was the funniest sight; this huge dog just sitting there and not moving a muscle except his tail. And my next neighbor had Charlie, a 7-year-old female, who went nuts with wagging her tail, if anyone would pet her. I oculd go on but unless you have experienced the love of a pitty you cannot understand how loyal to the breed people are that have either known a pittie or been owned by one. They are beyond loving, smart, and loyal. Laws against pitbull fighting have got to be enforced, and make the penalties fit the crime. Actually that goes for all 'sports' that included injuring an animal, i.e., cockfighting, bull fighting, dog fighting.
Pitbull terrers are so endearing with the most expressive faces! We have adopted, bought only one, and fostered several over the years. We have had other breeds but none compare to the pitbull terrier. They are good guards but most are accepting of and like people and children. They need socialization to different situations and obedience. They are very active but do calm down. They are also highly intelligent!!
Though he isn't really my dog he is my ex-boyfriends. His name is Herc and he is probably the biggest Pit Bull I have ever seen and I will admit he looks a little intimidating but he is the sweetest dog I know. Herc is also the biggest baby I know he is scared of everything it seems and thinks he is the size of a kitten. When my ex's friend came over who Herc had never met before Herc ran on to the couch plopped his body in my lap and hid his head. Now don't get me wrong he is a great protector to he loves the neighbor kids, seems like the only time he realizes he is big is when he plays with them, but last week when he and the kids were outside playing a man came walking up who no one had ever seen before started talking to the kids he apparently got a little to close for Herc's liking because the next thing we knew the kids mother was outside screaming and was calling the cops. The kids said the guy went to grab one of them and Herc jumped on him and knocked him down, he never bit the guy just made it so he wasn't getting up. When the police came they did take Herc and the man away and we later found out the man was an unregistard sexoffender who had moved without talking to his probation officer. We end up getting Herc back safely and we along with the childrens mother are so happy he was there to protect her little ones. Herc again is not my dog but my ex and I do share him. Herc mainly comes over at night when my ex goes to work and stays with me he is a great cuddle buddy and just an all time great dog!
My little white pit bull Luckyy Pinkyy Starr is the sweetest dog I have ever known. She takes more "abuse" from my toddler than any dog should have to, and never even blinks an eye. I can't imagine my life without her!
Jazmine is a half-pit-bull, half-boxer, 3-year-old female that we adopted from our local shelter. She's loving, affectionate, and has a sense of humor. She's in love with my 10-year-old cat, Peanut, who claims "she's not my type." Seriously, though, I don't think I could have found a more wonderful dog. The joy she brings into our family is priceless. She was abused and it took a couple of months for her to get used to her new surroundings. I bought her the Rolls Royce of dog beds, give her plenty of love, affection and yes, food, and I think she loves us just as much as we love her.

Slant Trucks are designed for a solid and smooth ride. Whether you're skating through the streets, ripping your local skate park ramps, or grinding through the back section of the kidney bowl, we have the right trucks for you!
Sold only in Sets of TwoYou will need one set of Slant Inverted 180mm Longboard Trucks to build a complete skateboard.
If you are not 100% satisfied with your purchase, you may return it to Warehouse Skateboards within 30 days of your receipt date.
Longboard trucks are the metal T-shaped pieces that mount onto the underside of the longboard deck. The longboard truck size can be measured by the width of the hanger or the width of the axle. Every longboard skateboard requires two trucks.
Longboard trucks are extremely different than standard skateboard trucks. The primary difference is that the trucks hangers are often wider. This is to accommodate for the the difference in the decks length. The two most common longboard truck sizes are 150mm and 180mm. Longboard trucks are sometimes equipped with inverted or reversed kingpins. A longboard truck is known as a "reverse kingpin" truck because the axle is on the other side of the kingpin compared to a standard truck. Longboard trucks are designed to allow for easy turning and maneuverability; therefore, they often have softer urethane bushings. A downhill truck tends to have a much harder bushing in order to stabilize the longboard at high speeds.
When purchasing, you will receive the two longboard trucks necessary to assemble your longboard skateboard. Longboard trucks come in various sizes and colors, and Warehouse Skateboards carries a huge selection of brands to fit your personal preference.
The axle of the truck runs through the hanger. For longboards, the hanger width is meant to match the width of your board. For a 9" deck or wider you will require a minimum of 180mm hanger width. Cruisers and carving longboards that are a bit slimmer can usually get away with 150mm hanger width.
The top part of the truck that is screwed to the deck and is called the baseplate. The baseplate angle ultimately affects how a longboard handles turns. It determines the amount of deck lean, as well as the overall turn ratio. Having a low baseplate angle will make the truck turn less, while a high baseplate angle will make the truck turn more. A standard baseplate for longboards is 50 degrees. Having a 50-degree angle allows you to carve and cruise, while providing stability for downhill riders as well. A 44-degree baseplate with a 180mm hanger is usually sufficient for an experienced downhill rider.
Check out our massive selection of longboard trucks.

"Got Me Up All Night..."
So says J. Cole in his infectious single off of Born Sinner. It's a story anyone can relate to — The Game of love if you will. It's that point where you're kind of feeling someone and they're feeling you back, but you keep putting on the poker face. Here are a few other examples of people who had a hard time playing the same game.

Many area television viewers hoped to tune in to their favorite show on Tuesday night — NCIS — but saw nothing but a dark screen.
There are about 46,000 satellite television subscribers in WCNT-CBS channel 9's market area — including Craven, Pamlico, Lenoir, Greene and Jones counties — that are being affected by the blackout caused by negotiations over contract fees by the station's parent company, Media General, and DISH Network.
DISH Network claims the broadcasting company, based in Richmond, Va., is attempting to raise its fees five times the current amount.
"We've attempted to reach a fair agreement via many avenues, but Media General remains immovable in its demands," said Sruta Vootukuru, DISH director of programming. "They declined a contract extension, an offer from DISH to pay our competitors' rates and have now refused our willingness to match rates paid to other area broadcasters. Media General is overreaching by trying to force DISH customers to pay more than their neighbors."
Vickie Jones, general manager of WNCT, said that figure amounts to "pennies a day."
"We're asking for a fair market agreement," she said.
Jones said the number of pay-TV satellite and cable customers — industry-wide — are about 35 percent of free-television viewers, yet the revenue they generate for companies that offer free broadcasting is 7 percent.
"Their product is gathering various providers' signals," Jones said about pay-TV companies. "… They actually package and resell those signals. … They need to pay us a fair amount if they're going to make money on it."
DISH has issued a proposal to Congress, backed by industry members, which would allow pay-TV providers to substitute another broadcast station during contract negotiations.
The American Television Alliance is one of those supporters. Its website states the 1992 Federal Communications Commission rules "no longer protect consumers in today's competitive TV marketplace."
"By holding our favorite shows hostage," the site states, "broadcasters are taking advantage of outdated regulations to demand excessive programming fees."
Jones said local television stations are impacted by the FCC decisions, while satellite companies are often located far from the communities they affect. A resident of Lenoir County and Duplin County native, Jones said she had to hook up an antenna at her home to pick up the local CBS channel where she works in Greenville.
"It's a protection the FCC provides for our local broadcasters," she said about the rules.
Danielle Johnson, a DISH spokeswoman, said negotiating temporarily with another broadcaster is "just a better solution for our customers out there."
She said the issue is not whether the rates are raised, it's how much they are being raised.
"It's an unrealistic expectation," Johnson said, "that drastically exceeds the fair market rates."
Who wins during these negotiations during the blackout?
Jones answered in an email, "It's not about winning or losing, it's just about being fair."
Johnson agrees the issue isn't fair.
"Ultimately, nobody wins," she said. "And the customers are the ones that suffer the most."
At times last year, broadcasting companies across the country blacked out 91 channels on various pay-TV companies.
There is no indication as to when the matter may be solved, but Jones said the majority of companies involved in the issue have worked out a compromise.
"My hope is there will be a resolution soon," she said.

Have I told you about the scent of jasmine? Have I spoken about the smell of the sea? The earth is scented. And I perfume myself to enhance what I am. That's why I can not wear a perfume that bothers me. Perfuming is an instinctive wisdom. And like all art, it requires some knowledge of yourself..."

Good morning Jon and all.
Wishing Turquoisewater every happiness today. Wonderful!

Many happy Returns to our special Easyfish!!
From yesterday;
"I'm curious about "blowsy" - where I come from it means dowdy, frumpy, sloppy - is that what it means to you, too? From the context I'm thinking it's not, exactly ...but you never know! I love both Lipstick Rose and Drole de Rose btw. It's their girly, flirty retro-glamour that appeals to me, but they do require the proper mood and situation ...especially LR, which can be a bit flamboyant, while DdR is more on the coy side and you can definately take her more places, lol.
How interesting! Sorry I couldn't get back to you yesterday. You have answered your own question really. You know, I checked the original meaning of blowsy and your definition is right. In fact is was originally quite a rude word, but it is not used in that way in common usage here at all any more!! I can see how it has evolved. At one stage it may have meant "vulgar" but it doesn't really mean that now. It is not an offensive word. It often used to describe flowers. It sort of means pretty but a bit overblown. An example would be the appearance of large headed frilly Peonies, they are often decribed as blowsy. You hit the nail on the head with your comparison with DdR being "more coy and you can take her more places". LR is glorious though isn't she? But DrR is a bit more, well, demure.
Ramon Monegal L'Eau de Rose today. It is shining like a beacon of hope in the Winter cold.
Good afternoon. It's -2 outside. I'm staying home to catch up on cataloguing.
SOTD is Micallef Gardenia. It reminds me of debutantes for some reason... very lady-like. So, today's image is Jackqueline Bouvier, 1947.

Chilly day, so I'm going with TDC Bois d'Iris.
Good morning everyone -
I'm in a soft cloud of No22, vintage parfum and edt.
Y'all have a great day!
turquoisewater, today's your wedding day?? That's wonderful! (Thanks, Jon!) Wishing you both joy, happiness and love, always. ♥
Happy birthday dear easyfish, happy birthday to you ...and many more!
Thanks for the confirmation Foustie - that's what I thought. I have several perfumes that could be considered that sort of "blowsy" ...certainly more flattering than the original meaning, but I still have to be careful about where I take them.
Science is not only compatible with spirituality, it is a profound source of spirituality.

Happy Birthday to easyfish (Jon, it would have been my dad's birthday too). Mike P, you are all celebratory -- in some Slovic languages "Sova" means "owl" -- the image that easyfish likes so much in VC&A interpretation and on Q.'s birthday cake.
Turquoisewater, many happy years together to you and Mr.!
That shopping yesterday was excellent -- once again, it made me humble and grateful for what I have already got: family, health, friends, job(s) and the other lady -- happy.
I bit the bullet and ordered that Guerlain from the Wishlist. Should be here in 7-9 days.

Hey again -
I'm in Chanel No5 for the afternoon, vintage-80s edp ...the sumptuous gandhajala formulation.
cello - M4 is fantastic! They don't come through here often enough, and I don't know why. I saw them in Lafayette a few years ago, but they really just belong in N'awlins, lol ...they're a lot more jazz and funk than marching band, quite fortunately. Have a great time!

Cello, I am reading on a diagonal most of the times, yours appeared to me as "half bluesy, and the other part citrus". LOL
Changed for the evening into Serge Lutens Un Lys.

|Cindy Stovall, RN is the March 2013 DAISY Award Recipient
Cindy Stovall, RN is the March, 2013 DAISY Award recipient. Cindy joined All Children's Hospital in 2002 as a nurse in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). She moved to her current position in the Post Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU) in 2006. This is Cindy's second Daisy Award. The DAISY Award is presented monthly to an All Children's Hospital Nurse who has provided extraordinary service to our patients.
Cindy's primary concern is for the safety and comfort of the patient and their families. Cindy demonstrates compassion and is considerate of RNs on our unit. She goes out of her way to achieve continuity of care for all patients. She controls the pain for all her patients. She tries to comfort families when children go through surgery by educating them and showing empathy. Cindy, in my opinion, excels at her job and is a great asset to ACH. Just when I begin to think Cindy has exceeded my expectations and the expectations of patients and families, she outdoes herself again. In my many years as a nurse, I have yet to find any PACU nurse like Cindy. Please give Cindy the recognition she deserves!
Cindy's supervisors added:
Cindy is a very caring, knowledgeable professional nurse," said Penny Boyd, RN, MSN, CNOR, Administrative Director of Perioperative Services. She often goes above and beyond. She is a great role model and we are extremely proud to have her on our team.
Cindy is very dedicated in providing excellent patient family centered care," said Bonnie Baker, RNC, MSN, Clinical Manager, Perioperative Services, Preop/PACU. Every day she goes out of her way to calm and comfort a crying child and provide comfort and education to anxious families in post op and the PACU. Cindy demonstrates service excellence and is an asset to the perioperative team at ACH.
Thank you Cindy, for the compassionate care you provide our patients.

Hi Friends!
I have posted my 300th post and the excitement of announcing the giveaways is finally sinking in. It was a small celebration time for my 'blog baby'. The way we take care of our blog and spend so much time feeding it with our work, I guess all bloggers would agree calling it our 'baby'.
Like the blog needs nourishment of good work to grow and flourish our body needs healthy food. Breakfast is an important meal of the day and take it very seriously. I might skip my dinner but never the breakfast. I try to provide my family a healthy and wholesome breakfast which gives them a feeling of properly filled and not over fed. I use sprouts, Oats, daliya (broken wheat), Red Poha, Ragi and various flours to make a healthy and tasty breakfast.
This is my first time at Blog Hop Wednesdays, the brainchild of Radhika of Tickling Palates and I was paired with Vidya of Kurryleaves. Her blog has a good collection of bakes, Chinese dishes, Kerala Preparations with beautiful clicks making all preparations look drool worthy. Out of so many options available I decided to pick a healthy combination to make an instant Idli. The word 'instant' has always managed to catch my attention, as I find such preparations very handy in the rush hours.
I made this instant Idli using daliya (broken wheat), Oats and Ragi flour. All the three ingredients are extremely nutritious. The Idli was a super hit preparation and S has already asked me to make again. The best part with this preparation is that, one can make the dry mix for Idli in advance and then use it when required. It's an excellent preparation for growing kids and I'm going to make this more frequently. Thanks Vidya and Usha for the recipe.
I have followed the recipe completely and only added a few more ingredients to increase the flavour as all the basic ingredients are very bland. The recipe asks for making it instantly but I gave it a standing time of fifteen minutes and realised that it cooks faster and tastes better. In fact, the second batch tasted better than the first and cooked faster too. I made an Oats- Coconut chutney to with the Idlis and to my surprise no body could make out that there were Oats in it. I have provided step by step pictures for both the preparations.
Instant Broken Wheat & Oats Idli
Preparation Time: 10mins
Cooking Time: 15-20mins
Special Cookware/ Vessel Required- Steamer and Idli Mould

Mix the curds in the Idli Mix and if required add a little water.
Let it stand for 10-15mins.
Pour it in the Idli mould and steam for 10-15mins or till done. One can notice a glaze on the Idli once it is done.
Cool for 5mins and unmould.
Serve with Chutney and Sambhar or a Potato Curry.

A few months ago, I was approached by Project Runway to participate in an episode that included the HP and Intel Pattern Challenge. I listened intently as the producers explained the challenge even though I knew exactly what they were going to say since I am a huge fan of the show. At this point in the competition there were only seven fashion designers left. Each remaining designer would be paired with a "Next Generation Achiever" to help inspire a pattern that was then made into a textile and incorporated into their runway look. And they wanted ME to be that inspirational person!!
After I finished doing the happy dance followed by consecutive shrieks of joy I regained consciousness and started to panic. How in the world was I going to be an inspiration?
I started to think about the role of a graphic designer and how powerful design can be when used effectively. As creative director at GDUSA magazine I am fully immersed in the world of design and I continually find that the best designed projects are those that come from a labor of love. For me, this labor of love is Barbalu.
Each fashion designer had the chance to spend an hour with their innovator to draw inspiration for their pattern. I had the pleasure of meeting Alexandria von Bromssen at the future home of Barbalu. As I explained to Alexandria, Barbalu is a soon-to-open Italian restaurant near the South Street Seaport. In October of 2012, Hurricane Sandy devastated my beloved hometown of New York City and the restaurant in which we stood was filled with more than 6 feet of storm water. Everything was gone. But now — nearly a year to date — the brave owners are rebuilding in the same location. The business needed to start from scratch and I was thrilled to have the opportunity to help them redesign their entire identity.Read More

- Got A Question?
Customers; they can make you or they can break you. In today's industry of fierce competition, simply satisfying your customers is no longer enough -- not if you want to maximize your long-term profit potential.
With the costs that are incurred trying to reign in new customers, you need to stop overlooking a valuable profit center by focusing on customer advocacy and loyalty through your current customer base. You must create advocates for your detail shop site to cost-effectively increase your profits.
Advocates, apathetics and assassins
Your customer base consists of three customer groups: advocates, apathetics and assasins. Understanding each of these groups and how you can convert a customer into an advocate is a critical component to increasing your customer satisfaction and your bottom-line.
Advocates are customers whose belief in your company and services has transformed into an almost religious zeal.
Advocates are:
· Willing to drive past more convenient and less expensive wash sites to use your detail shop;
· Fiercely loyal to your brand; and
· Created with above-and-beyond service, courteous and personable employees, and pristine wash quality.
Apathetics, customers who are indifferent to your washing services, are most likely the majority of your customer base right now. For them it does not matter where their car gets cleaned, just that it is cleaned to their expectations.
Apathetics will:
· Use your wash because it meets their basic expectations of cleaning their car and it is within their desired price range; but, your wash does not surpass their expectations in any way;
· Tend to remain loyal to your detail shop as long as it does not become an inconvenience and it meets their basic expectations;
· Switch to your competitors if they are offered a better deal or a perceived better quality of service;
· Not speak out for you nor against you; and
· Only do business with you on their terms, not yours.
Assassins, your worst nightmare in the detail industry, will kill your business without you even being aware of it.
· Openly and actively speak out against you and your brand thereby poisoning your services and discrediting your reputation to anyone who will listen;
· Are fifty-percent more likely to speak out than an advocate;
· Have the capability, with Internet connection and savvy, to ruin your company's reputation globally by posting unsatisfactory reviews, by creating a website that discredits your company, or by simply utilizing existing social networking sites, like Myspace, to openly criticize your detail shop
· Are typically scorned for life (meaning their long-term effects on your profits could be devastating); and
· May not even voice their concerns or complaints to an employee or manager but will proceed to publicly soil your reputation.
Building customer advocacy
Building customer advocacy while deterring assassins is critical for the success of your business, but how do you do it? Here are some examples of how you can convert those apathetic customers to advocates while dissuading potential assassins.
1. Build a foundation. Make providing above-and-beyond customer satisfaction the core belief of your company. In order for this to truly be effective, this belief must start and be amply demonstrated by management. Understand how customer satisfaction and loyalty interplay and affect your customers purchasing behavior.
2. Maintain company culture. Implement a company culture, based upon friendliness and quality, by capitalizing on how you can make each customer's experience memorable.
Get your customers to have an emotional investment in your detail shop by taking a line from the hit show "Cheers" -- It's where everybody knows your name. Greet your frequent wash customers by name. Talk to every customer that comes on the site. Instill the importance of personal interaction in your employees by demonstrating it yourself.
If management doesn't believe in the importance of friendliness and quality, neither will the employees. It flows from top to bottom like a waterfall.
3. Deal with angry customers. Don't simply try to pacify an angry customer quickly with your goal being to not incur any kind of monetary cost. Remember, creating an assassin could create significant long-term damage so you have to remember the big picture.
Treat angry customers with courtesy and empathy to find out the root of the complaint. Then, figure out what constitutes a 'win' on their behalf. It may take a short-term loss but you have to evaluate the long-term potential of this customer.
Once you've established how to satisfy the upset customer, take immediate action. If replacing a $50 side view mirror will turn this potential assassin into an advocate then it is worth the short-term cost of replacing the mirror and providing a refund.
The root cause of most assassins is in the moment when a company is faced with the decision of incurring a cost (or forgoing a revenue opportunity) or deciding to maximize short-term profit potential at the expense of customer satisfaction. Data shows that customer encounters in which a problem was resolved quickly and efficiently receive higher satisfaction scores than when there is no problem at all.
Use these situations to turn a negative reaction into a positive solution for both parties by keeping the long-term effect in mind.
4. Resolve complaints immediately. All complaints and issues should be addressed and resolved within 48 hours maximum. Each minute that passes without a satisfactory resolution increases your chances of creating an assassin. Immediately decide whether the short-term cost will outweigh the long-term benefit then resolve the issue efficiently and effectively.
Upset customers are not necessarily looking for monetary compensation; at the heart, most just want to feel as if there is a real person who will champion their cause. They want to know that you appreciate their business and recognize the error of your ways (even if it technically wasn't your fault). You can do both by empathizing with them and by promptly responding to their complaint.
5. Empower employees. As your direct line of communication between customers, your employees need to have the decision making capabilities to do the right thing when issues arise. Forty-five percent of customers who complain only complain to front line personnel.
Minimize the number of steps your angry customer has to go through by empowering your staff to make key customer service decisions. Empower your employees with a 'yes, I can attitude' and give clear guidelines to allow them to make the best decision regarding the customer without managerial assistance.
Empowered employees solve problems quickly, maintain customer loyalty, decrease the chance of creating an assassin, and have increased pride and morale in the company. The right response at the right time will retain or build customer loyalty while the wrong response will create an assassin.
6. Savor complaints. Complaints are a great opportunity to receive free and unfiltered feedback on your services. Capitalize on criticism by using them to implement ongoing improvements to your wash.
7. Know what's important. Ask customers what is the most important aspect of using your service. Do they simply want a clean car or do they want a clean car accompanied by a personal greeting?
Encourage management and employees to personally ask customers or utilize surveys to gather this valuable information. Offer incentives to customers who complete surveys if customers are not initially responding.
Once you discover what your customers truly want from your detail shop, implement it as another integral part of your company's philosophy.
8. Utilize employees. Don't let your employees be an untapped resource for improving customer satisfaction. They are your front line of defense against unhappy customers. Discuss with them possible ways to increase both their satisfaction and the customers.
9. Look at the long-term effects. Base financial and strategic decisions on generating long-term customer satisfaction even if it is at the expense of short-term profits. Numerous studies by J.D. Powers and Associates have demonstrated the correlation between high satisfaction rates and high profit margins.
Keep your eyes targeted on the big picture, on the long-term. Long-term benefits include decreasing
Tying it all together
Your journey to profitability comes from understanding your company's unique customer touchpoints. Distinguish yourself from the competition by understanding your customers' needs and then acting on them.
Think about what you yearn for in your daily encounters and apply those to your detail shop. Learn how to convert satisfaction into advocacy and loyalty for it is the key to the profit kingdom.
Loyalty is how you generate profits from customer satisfaction otherwise it is just another buzzword among a laundry list of business theories. While it may be tempting to only consider short-term profits when making quick decisions, your company is in it for the long haul which means the long-term benefit is what really counts. Keep your eyes targeted on the long-term and you'll see a positive impact on customer loyalty and your bottom-line.

1* Arizona (8:15 ET): Drumming up support for the underdog Diamondbacks tonight seems like a tall task and sure enough as of 11 AM ET, the Cardinals are the most bet side on the board Wednesday. St. Louis is at home and going for a sweep, but after outhitting them yday don't be surprised when Arizona pulls off the upset.
D'backs starter Josh Collmenter has some ugly looking numbers over the course of his L3 starts. But that has a lot to do w/ one start in particular when he was hammered by Washington. Last time out, he allowed just 2 ER in five innings of work and the team beat the Cubs 5-4. Coming into this series, Arizona had won six of seven games, in fact. The offense has homered in five straight games, but left 10 men on base yday, thus negating an 11-8 edge in hits over the Cards.
St. Louis starter Lance Lynn has allowed 5+ ER three times this year, including his last time out when the team was shut out by Kansas City. I was on the Cardinals in Monday's extra inning win, but the price here is just too rich not to take a shot w/ the dog on the money line. This seems like one of those cases where "if it seems to good to be true, it probably is." 1* Arizona

|ACH Leaders Share Perspective on Key Issues With Florida Legislators
ACH President and Physician in Chief Jonathan Ellen, M.D. and other pediatric experts from All Children's Hospital provided testimony to legislators in Tallahassee last week on several timely child health topics.
The topic of medically fragile children was discussed by the Senate Committee on Children, Family and Elder Affairs on January 8 and included presentations by Florida Department of Health Surgeon General John Armstrong and Agency for Healthcare Administration Secretary Elizabeth Dudek (who visited ACH last month with Governor Scott). ACH neonatologist and Chief of Pediatric Medicine Dr. Tony Napolitano, Administrative Director for Developmental and Rehabilitation Services Dr. Dennis Hart and NICU Director Cindy Driscoll advocated for policy and funding changes in the care of medically fragile children.
Dr. Napolitano shared specifics about the infants treated in the NICU at All Children's and the hospital's goals to have patients treated in the most appropriate setting for the full-spectrum of care, working together with our affiliate hospitals and community providers. Dr. Hart addressed the opportunities for developmental care and Cindy Driscoll presented specifics about how the family can transition to home. The committee chair charged ACH with conducting additional research for best practices and to provide options to the legislators.
Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioner (ARNP) scope of practice was the focus of the January 10 meeting of the House Healthcare Workforce and Innovation Committee. Legislative staff gave an overview of current Florida policy as well as the varying policies in states across the country. Catherine Dower, J.D., an invited speaker from the Center for Health Professions at the University of California San Francisco, presented an objective summary of the academic literature related to ARNP practice, safety and efficacy, and a panel of nurses, physicians and hospital executives shared their perspective on current Florida ARNP policy. Dr. Ellen was invited by the committee chair to serve on this panel to discuss expanding the scope of services for mid-level providers. He provided compelling testimony on the importance of mid-level providers in caring for children in both acute and community settings.

When he can find the time away from his day (and night) job as Navy lieutenant, Matthew Hemker likes to compete in karate tournaments, which is why he was on hand Saturday at the N.C. Nationals Karate Tournament at Hunters Creek Middle School.
"This happened to be close to home so I figured, 'Hey, why not?'" said Hemker, who recently earned his first-degree black sash at the United Martial Arts Academy in Jacksonville to go with his black belt in Tae Kwon Do.
Why not indeed? The 31-year-old Hemker, who is from Florissant, Mo., which is just outside St. Louis, used the Chinese broad sword to win first in the open weapons division as well as third in the open kata division and sparring.
"I feel I did very well," said Hemker, who is stationed at Camp Lejeune. "I feel like, as always, when doing Kung Fu in front of a bunch of karate guys, they're kind of looking at me like, 'What the heck is he doing.' I always get that feeling when I'm doing it.
"But I come out here to have fun and see how well I can do, and so I see how it ends up after that."
The tournament, which is run by local karate instructor Larry Isaac, attracted competitors from all over the state, including Raleigh and Durham, along with South Carolina and featured male and female athletes ranging from baby-face youngsters to gray-haired adults.
The tournament included sparring as well as a variety of weapon kata — including the bo staff, Okinawan oar (eku), sai and fan — and empty-hand kata, which are a set series of moves against an imaginary array of opponents.
Of the weapons he knows, Hemker said the broad sword is his favorite.
"There's just something comforting about the way it feels and flows," Hemker said, "and it's a very fluid weapon vice just the hacking, slashing, chop-chop, push-pull that the other weapons are."
More than that, however, Hemker said he just loves training and teaching Kung Fu at the United Martial Arts Academy, where he's trained for about two years and has by his estimate about 30 to 50 students.
"My favorite thing to do is the training that I get that trains me physically because it's a great workout. I love the feel when I finish that workout. When I go to the gym and lift weights I feel good, but I feel even better after doing this," he said.
"The other thing I love is teaching kids, teaching adults (and) watching the light bulbs go on. And we're not only teaching them how to kick and punch and everything, we're teaching them life skills, like how to set goals, how to do things they didn't think they could do before.
"I love seeing that growth in students and being able to impact young lives at age 8, 9, 10 and know that I'm having a direct influence on them now and, hopefully, they'll stick with it so they have something that is uniquely their own."

How can I pay a ticket?
Visit our Payment Options page to learn how you can pay online, in person, by phone or by mail.
Late Payments: Failure to respond to a citation within thirty (30) days of the date the citation being entered into the court's record system results in late fees and increased penalties. The penalties could include one of the following:
What should I do if the offense is "Court Required?"
If the listed offense is "court required," a "Notice (Summons) to Appear" in court at a set date and time will be mailed to you within 10 business days after the court gets the citation.

I got a ticket for "No Proof on Insurance," but I have insurance on the car. What do I do?
You may bring your ticket in person or mail it with the proof of insurance to any of the four District Court locations listed on the right side of this web page. You may also fax the insurance proof, along with a copy of the citation, to (612) 348-6268.

In many of his works, Timo Heino has emphasized a sort of democracy of materials. In the works of his first private exhibition in 1991, he interspaced natural materials such as bark, fur and beeswax with brightly coloured strips of Plexiglas in a strictly geometrical rectangle. For example, in the works Pimentola (the place of the dead in the Finnish mythology) and Raatajakansan alttari ('The Altar of the Toiling People'), which belong to the collections of Pori Art Museum, green and red rods of Plexiglas are accompanied by birch-bark and pine.
On a surface level, the juxtapositioning of industrially produced plastic and natural materials illustrates the tension between culture and nature, the artificial and the original. To Heino, however, the name of the exhibition, Kadonneen metsän keskellä ('In the Middle of the Disappeared Forest'), implies a clear double meaning. Ethylene, one of the components of acrylic plastic, is organic in its origin. It is a hydrocarbon, derived from the refinement of oil. Thus, the materials from the Finnish forests in the works of the exhibition are juxtaposed with prehistoric forests, distilled over millions of years as oil and present in the Plexiglas.

Ange ou Demon Tendre is my favourite perfume. The scent is unique and I absolutely fell in love with it the moment I smelt it. Great lasting power and a very sophisticated scent.
Written by Ritz on September 04, 2010Read Review details ►
Ange au demon tendre is a unique fragrance. Most Givenchy fragrances are different but similar. Add this one as different. I haven't found one to compare, it is in a class of its own. First smell says masculine. But the light, crisp, clean smell keeps you reaching for it. It is a definite daytime, but it is sophisticated enough for a semi casual evening as well. It would be a welcome addition to your collection for a pleasant change of pace.
