Hair by Ryan Trygstad
For Orange is the New Black star Taylor Schillings first Emmy appearance, hairstylist Ryan Trygstad took a style inspired by a beauty icon and gave it a modern twist. We wanted a 70s Jerry Hall look for this dress, he said. We started with soft Hollywood waves, but made them a little more fluffy and airy. We wanted the style to feel loose and sexy.
Get the Look:
1. Apply Grandiose Hair Plumping Mousse to wet hair and blow dry with a small ceramic round brush to create movement and shine. Grandiose adds a nice non-sticky volume, Ryan said.
2. After blow-drying, line the roots with Dry Texturizing Spray. This gives lots of volume before curling, he explained.
3. Spray sections of hair with Superfine Hair Spray and curl with an iron. Brush curls out for a loose, bouncy effect.

Everton fullback Bryan Oviedo is delighted Costa Rica have drawn England in their World Cup group.
The banter had already started flying after the World Cup draw paired his Costa Rican side in the same group as Phil Jagielka, Leighton Baines, Ross Barkley and Leon Osman's England.
"I am very happy to play against England," he told the Liverpool Echo. "It's a country I appreciate a lot. I am happy here but I think it's a difficult group for everyone. We need to work hard for the next six months to be ready for it.
"I spoke with Phil yesterday and we joked about it.
"But it's good, It's very nice to play against friends, but at the best competition in the world I need to work for myself!"

All proceeds benefit Family of Woodstock's Family Inn of Kingston, a program that provides shelter and a variety of services for the children of Ulster County area families in need.

With flowing Vinyasa sequences, this class incorporates core-strengthening transitions and postures that target your abdominals, obliques, spine, pelvic floor and shoulder girdle. And, as important as strengthening the core muscles, we'll also practice melty postures to ease those same muscles groups. You'll find you'll stand taller, feel stronger, and exude confidence.

This is the story.
Of flowers that have ambitions to be little lampshades or a whole chandelier?
I grew up in the city, always loved flowers, later in life, moved to the country-side and developed a passion for gardening and 'growing' things.
Wintertime I spent learning and reading more, couldn't wait for the next Spring. I was 'biological' looooong before it became trendy!
I was given a tiny book by someone, "Old wife's tales", it was full of fun advice of how to improve on plants, fruit and veg with little 'house' remedies.
For example, if you grow strawberries, alternate them with a row of marigolds, they will taste even better!
I also found in the booklet, that if you have roses, and they suffer from greenfly, put some garlic at the root of the rose plant!
Last year, we moved house, I transplanted most of my roses (successfully), also, in the kitchen I'd had a plait of braided garlic, it looked quite dry, and although I do use and enjoy garlic in certain dishes, not the fresh stuff, my system cannot handle it very well.
So, I thought, right! I won't throw it away, I will put them with the roses.
No greenfly, however, when it rains.... the garden does smell of Garlic! Tee hee.
You can imagine my astonishment when I saw green coming up, and total surprise when I saw buds, now they developed into flowers!!! AND it is RAINING, lol!
I mean, how could there still be life in them after all this time?
AAAAHHH, Nature! And to think that 'proper' plants often struggle or just plain die on you, pfffttt.
I looked it up, they are Allium bulgaricum (synonym of Nectaroscordium bulgaricum).
Giving my flowers SOUL? My Soul Flowers on youtube and Studio Flowers 2011

Great! :D
My suggestion for the next release: "Camulos" Celtic god of war.
0 A.D. is a free, open-source, cross-platform real-time strategy (RTS) game of ancient warfare. It's a historically-based war/economy game that allows players to relive or rewrite the history of twelve ancient civilizations, from Iberia to Mauryan India, each depicted at their peak of economic growth and military prowess. Developed using Pyrogenesis, a ground-breaking new game engine custom-built to suit this project, 0 A.D. will give players a rich and entertaining real-time gaming experience.
Wildfire Games proudly announces the release of "0 A.D. Alpha 2 Bellerophon", the second alpha version of 0 A.D., a free, open-source game of ancient warfare. This release comes with victory conditions, fog of war, formations, a new in-game GUI and many other features that make 0 A.D. feel more like a real RTS than ever before. Who will emerge as the victor? Download and play to find out!

Wildfire Games proudly announces the release of "0 A.D. Alpha 2 Bellerophon", the second alpha version of 0 A.D., a free, open-source game of ancient warfare. This release comes with victory conditions, fog of war, formations, a new in-game GUI and many other features that make 0 A.D. feel more like a real RTS than ever before. Who will emerge as the victor? Download and play to find out!
Easy Download and Install
Download and installation instructions are available for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X. 0 A.D. is free of charge and always will be. You can redistribute it and modify it as long as you abide by the GPL. No registration, no advertising, no catch.
New features in this release:
Room for improvement:
An overview of the gameplay feature status is on our wiki, and as you can see, there is still a lot of work to be done. If you want to be part of this effort too, you're welcome to get involved!
Why "Bellerophon"?
We name our releases according to development status ("Alpha" or "Beta"), successive release number (1, 2, 3, ...) and a word relating to the ancient world, in alphabetical order ("Argonaut" for A, ...).
In Greek mythology, Bellerophon (pronounced buh-LEHR-uh-fun) was the hero who tamed Pegasus, a magical winged horse, and rode him, using a golden bridle given to him by the goddess Athena. Bellerophon also defeated the Amazons and slayed the Chimera, a monster with a lion's head, a goat's body, and a serpent's tail. As Bellerophon's fame grew, though, so did his hubris. Bellerophon felt that because of his victory over the Chimera he deserved to fly to Mount Olympus, the realm of the gods. However, this presumption angered Zeus and he sent a gad-fly to sting the horse, causing Bellerophon to fall all the way back to Earth. From then on, Pegasus would never let Bellerophon or anyone else ride him again. (Source: Wikipedia). To mark Alpha 2 Bellerophon, we included a Pegasus unit in the game.
For the next alpha, we welcome fan suggestions for words relating to the ancient world beginning with C. As a loose guideline, they should have to do with at least one of the six civilizations set to be represented in the game.
Long Time, No Siege
Wildfire Games will continue releasing new versions of 0 A.D. periodically. Watch our news feed to keep updated, or follow us by e-mail, RSS, Facebook or Twitter. And you're always welcome to join the 0 A.D. community on our forums.
Great! :D
My suggestion for the next release: "Camulos" Celtic god of war.
I'll get it right away, for Linux and Windows.
I just found a bug lol
you can make dock on land en when you make ships, they move on the land xD
Yeah, haha. One of the many things we need to work on! Our chief programmers, Philip and Brian, are really doing a great job though, to have made so much good progress since Alpha I. We've also had contributions from a few others in the community who have submitted patches for the game. Their contributions are also greatly appreciated!
and i want to say you guys rock, this game reminds me of AOE
Your arrow cursor is also a black rectangle? O.o
Can you post a screenshot? Are you running Ubuntu 10.10?
No, this time Windows XP. Below screenshots:
Seems the cursor icon doesn't load up.
I can check it also on Ubuntu, later on.
Message me on here and we'll try something I have in mind.
Strange. Compiled it from the source on this computer and the cursor is still black.
Run from the binaries, and then compiled it on the laptop (XP too), works fine (the regular cursor) in both cases. Dunno why it doesn't work here.
Awesome update. I wonder if you guys should have gone open source a while back. Keep the good work up!
Thanks. We went open source last summer, July 2009.
0 A.D. Alpha 3: Cornucopia?
Because Corinth, Caesar, Cú Chulainn, and Cyclops were the only others to come to mind...
Nice to see more progress, too - brilliant looking stuff, and if its in line with Argonaut then my elderly PC will be able to keep up with all the tastiness :)
If I'd ever get back to modelling, I'd totally make a dragon for this game. And then pwn humans :P

And hey, all the other 59 of you viewers! You all don't have trouble with your 4 year olds? :
but the past 4-6 months have been filled with whining, crying, tantrums, declarations that "I can do what I want! I don't have to ______." I was ready to strangle her on more than one occasion (as in daily).
I was doing a search for ideas of how to handle backtalk, esp from my 6.5 yo DD and came across this thread. My DD is strong willed, likes to play the victim and can be very vocal of her displeasure of the world at times. And she has been that way since she was little.
How is it with your older DD? Has it gotten easier?

"Last year, Jean Dujardin won Best Actor for The Artist," Seth MacFarlane joked at the 2013 Oscars: "This year, he's . . . everywhere." With Monuments Men and now The Players, Dujardin is still far from having the last laugh. An extended riff on marital infidelity, this is the rare omnibus film that isn't just a mixed bag -- it very nearly succeeds at being uniformly bad.
Eight or nine stories offer slight variations on the theme of married men behaving badly, with deeply unfunny vignettes of dudes getting caught cheating in increasingly outlandish ways serving as interludes between the episodes proper. Dujardin and Gilles Lellouche appear in every story, sometimes as bit characters and sometimes as the two philandering protagonists who serve as the movie's only real throughline; what emerges is an episodic portrait of two sad men and the lonely corners they've backed themselves into. Both project phony cockiness in the face of their failing marriages, trying (and slowly failing) to reinforce their myopic view of themselves and the world.
The only exception isn't the one directed by The Artist's Michel Hazanavicius but Emmanuelle Bercot's La questione, in which a man and his wife of more than a decade confess their past transgressions one misguided night. It's the only time that genuine emotional substance, not gimmicky humor, serves as the driving force, as well as the only reminder of how Dujardin won that Oscar in the first place.

Teyana Taylor is taking a break from entertainment to launch her line of glosses called Dope Lips.
Teyana Taylor can do just about everything, from giving workout tips, crafting hit singles and now launching a line of lipgloss.
She recently spoke to radio host Eygpt about her new venture.
"I have a lipgloss line coming out called Dope lips," Teyana said. "We are still developing it but I'm excited because we have 'Salute The Nude' under the lipgloss line for all the girls who like nude colors. It will come in all different shades."
Beyond Salute the Nude, there are three other shades: Purple Kisses, Femme Queen and Color Me Pink.
To introduce her line, the 18-year-old entrepreneur did a photoshoot wearing the different shades and not much else. But don't let the revealing photos fool you: She also told Egypt that she's more a studied church girl than underage vixen.
"The one thing people can never say is that I'm a hoe. I have a purity ring," Teyana revealed. "I hold bible study class at St. Lukes church in Harlem when I'm home. I actually teach the class because I want them to know its okay to praise God and keep your legs closed. I'm just trying to be a good example right now."
Check out Teyana's new venture at DopeLips.com.
Do you think you'll end up buying her lipgloss?

Two Leaves and a Bud Tea Company Supports Whole Planet Foundation
Two leaves and a bud tea co. will donate a portion of sales to nonprofit Whole Planet Foundation to help fight world poverty.
Basalt, Colorado (PRWEB) March 15, 2012
Now through March 31, two leaves and a bud tea company will dedicate a portion of sales at select Whole Foods Market locations to nonprofit Whole Planet Foundation to fund poverty alleviation efforts worldwide. The company´s contribution will support the foundation´s mission to provide the working poor in developing countries with a chance to lift themselves out of poverty through microcredit.
"Two leaves and a bud sources tea around the world from small, enterprising organic tea gardens," says two leaves Founder and CEO Richard Rosenfeld. "In our travels, we see the difference supporting business in impoverished communities can make in people´s lives and Whole Planet Foundation recognizes that impact too."
By funding microlending projects around the world, the foundation is providing the poorest of the poor with that same opportunity to launch or expand their own home-based businesses and create a better future for themselves and their families through their own hard work. "We want to be a part of that," explains Rosenfeld.
Boxes of two leaves and a bud tea will be available at discounted prices in select Whole Foods Market stores through March 31. A portion of all sales will benefit the microlending program.
"Every time someone buys a box of our tea at the discounted price, the money they save will go directly to help poor entrepreneurs. That´s because Whole Foods Market funds all of Whole Planet Foundation´s administrative costs," Rosenfeld says. "We really appreciate that."
In 2005, natural and organic retailer Whole Foods Market established Whole Planet Foundation as an expansion of its mission to be an active participant in the global community. The nonprofit provides grants to microfinance institutions in poor communities where the grocer sources products. To date, Whole Planet Foundation has authorized more than $26.5 million and disbursed more than $15.5 million through microlending partners worldwide.

About two leaves and a bud
Two leaves and a bud tea company is based in Basalt, Colo., and specializes in whole leaf, organic tea packed in biodegradable, pyramid-shaped tea sachets. The company was founded in 2005 by Richard Rosenfeld, an entrepreneur who traveled the world for business, only to become frustrated at not finding a quality cuppa´ tea at home. Two leaves and a bud travels to the world's premier tea growing regions to meet farmers and taste tea in its purest, native form. The company´s commitment to "go there" allows it to bring the experience of the gardens back to its customers by providing exceptional whole leaf tea from only the best harvests.

Pilgrimage to Caacupe
On December 8, thousands of pilgrims gather at the Cathedral to be blessed by the Virgin of Caacupé. I happened to travel route 2 on December 7, 2003 and saw hundreds of people making their way on foot up the hill to pay homage. Last week I decided to do the same by bike.
Home is about 10 km outside the capital city of Asunción, in the outskirts of San Lorenzo. Here was the original plan: Route 2 to Caacupé and return.
40 km each way didn´t seem too bad. It was 4:30 and the sun sets at 5:30 so I figured an hour of riding in the dark on the return trip would be fine.
This is the intersection of Routes 1 and 2. Although a major intersection, the stop sign is a recent addition and I don´t know whether or not to take it seriously.
I turned right, passed through Capiata, and arrived at this intersection. 33 km remaining and the sun was quickly plummeting toward the horizon. I wanted to see the sunset, but I just wasn´t in the right place.
Next was Itaugua and then Ypacarai. So far, everything was quite familiar since I had traveled it all by bicycle. After Ypacarai was this toll station. I had no idea whether to put myself in line with the trucks or pass by on the right - that´s what motorcycles often do. I waited for another motorcycle to pass and show me what to do while I took the picture.
I didn´t even notice dogs until after the upload.
Five minutes and not a single moto. With the police after the toll booth on the right, I didn´t want to take a chance so I put myself in line. The street vendors immediately motioned to me that I was to bypass the whole thing. I proceeded as instructed and the police didn´t even look at me with my hi-vis vest, bright helmet, and headlight on.
Then it was up the 3mile long hill, passing everybody on the way. 45 mph is fast around here, apparently. I parked the bike on the edge of the well-lit city plaza, and walked two blocks to the catedral where the child vendors immediately approached and tried to sell me something. Most will walk away after ´gracias´ and a shake of the head.
One little 7-year old girl had a different approach. She gave me the gift of a rosary. When I refused, ´How can you refuse a gift? All I ask is that you buy one of the other rosaries I have here.´ I said ´gracias´ again and she got more whiney and more aggressive. Apparently the approach has worked before and it worked for me. I returned her rosary after I dug a couple of coins out of my pocket and gave her a gift of my own. She walked off to give another rosary to another tourist.
There was, of course, a mass in session and I snapped a pic of La Virgencita of Caacupé.
I figured it was time to eat something and an hamburguesa completa was calling my name. That´s a hamburger with a fried egg, fried ham, and whatever type of salsa you choose. It´s seriously good. Better with cheese. My wife makes them for me sometimes.
I figured that was it. I´d already sent a text to my wife telling her that I was leaving Caacupé and I´d be home in an hour, barring any misadventures. It didn´t turn out like I thought it would.

Some experts are claiming that the natural end-point of grid technology is the creation of "the Grid" -- a single global computing network that does for data processing what the Web has done for online content?
There is a very strong connection and natural evolution -- I made that connection in about 1999. If you look at the Web it provides a natural interface for humans, first and foremost to access information and data. But over time you start to say, "I want to add value to data, I want to provide intelligence and capability". To do that you need applications and this is where the Grid infrastructure comes into play and Grid becomes the support infrastructure for all the applications that become the active components on the Internet-wide environment.
So how far off is the concept of "the Grid"?
If you look at the maturity of the Grid compared to the Web than that kind of model is at least ten years away. You need to recognise that the Web compared to the grid is much simpler. Grid is all about the applications, the business logic and businesses have to transform to take advantage of this paradigm. Computing is going through an evolution from the middle ages to the renaissance period. With Grid you no longer talk about CPUs, you no longer talk about hardware, you no longer even talk about applications -- you talk about services.
So you advocate idea of utility computing such as that put forward by companies such as Sun where computing resources are analogous to the telephone network?
Yes, IT is becoming increasingly complex and companies don't have the necessary experts to create all the solutions for themselves - it doesn't make sense anymore.
Utility computing makes sense on paper, so why don't enterprises seem to be taking to it?
It's because customers are just not ready at all, mostly because the service providers have not been ready for this. The reality of today and the next several years is that if the customers are not moving in this direction for their own in-sourced IT the chances are that they won't be in a position to take up the offer of these kinds of services from the vendors. And what's more, the vendors won't be able to deliver these kind of services because they don't even know what the customers want, and they don't have the requisite technologies at all, because we are too busy debating what the grid is.

off to a burns night supper tonight, got to wear a long frock and heels
I think we've decided to go for a digital piano. They don't need tuning every 6 months and take up less space, etc.
Oooh Steven's teacher says as long as it's got weighted keys and 88 of them then go for it.
Skywatcher and Lisa
I have my little Lily who is severely dyslexic. She is on a level 7 on a scale of 1-10. We have had a huge battle to get any help at school, as Bucks LEA don't recognise Dyslexia. The fight is still going on and we have or l should say l have had a huge fight. The school insisted that she was short sighted ................... and here i have to explain about myself.
I want you all to know because at some point l would hope to meet you. I have an eye condition called Nystagmus. I'm sure the good Doc could explain better. I have very poor muscle control so my eyes move. ADD into this that l am very short sighted (Unable to drive). So the school tried to insist her eyes were a problem and we said trust us don't you we have had all our childrens eyes tested since 1 month old.
I'm so embarrased and off now, Sorry.
Please don't be embarrassed...thanks for sharing. You don't know who that information would help It's so frustrating that people won't listen to you. It's also ridiculous to have such widely differing policies in schools, and having to fight for what is your child's right!
My friend's company does a lot of training in schools and colleges (I used to run some courses for her) and part of what she does is to train teachers and school staff to understand and deal with dyslexic and dyspraxic children.
I got so mad at that MP a couple of weeks back who tried to say dyslexia doesn't exist
How can they say it doesn't exist???!!!
Have these people actually sat down and worked with these children?? Not only does it exist but it is more prevalent than many people think.

I have a garmin fish finder. I epoxied the depth transducer to the inside of the hull under the v berth. It works great and it tells me I'm going to hit something just in time to hang on. Most fish finder transducers that I've seen are not easily mounted on my transom since it is angled and out of the water.
One other problem that I had was how to mount the speed transducer. Garmin doesn't offer a thru hull transducer for my fishfinder. I solved this by building a small solid fiberglass "transom" and gluing it to the bottom with 4200 between the keel and rudder.

Tropical depression 'Isang' accelerates
More News from Frances Mangosing
More News from INQUIRER.net
MANILA, Philippines—Tropical depression "Isang" gained speed as it traversed Balintang Channel in the northern tip of Luzon midday Wednesday.
The Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration said the cyclone was moving north northwest at 22 kilometers per hour.
"Isang" was last observed over Calayan Island, packing maximum sustained winds of 55 kph near the center.
Still under Signal No. 1 (45-60 kph winds) were hoisted over the following areas:
- Ilocos Norte
- Apayao
- Cagayan incl. Calayan
- Babuyan Group of Islands
- Batanes Group of Islands
"Isang" was forecast to exit by Thursday morning, when it would be about 540 km northwest of Aparri, Cagayan.
It will enhance the southwest monsoon which will bring light to moderate rains and thunderstorms over Metro Manila and the rest of Luzon and Western Visayas, Pagasa said.

A Tour Around Ace Frehley's Bronx

When it comes to outright vaudeville, though, Meredith Monk's still tough to beat. After sustaining Masada's Semitic theme with "Jew's Harp" (1977), Monk clicked/panted/sang a pair of "duets for solo voice" that resembled ventriloquism minus a dummy. Would the song continue as she lifted a glass of water to her lips and partook? No dice. Instead she brought on longtime partner Katie Geissinger for some increasingly musical synchronized-vocal tomfoolery.
Reich, Monk, and Zorn all sounded positively old school beside vocal conjurer Shelley Hirsch, whose 1996 work "States" employed nostalgia as a radical surgeon's instrument. Framing her work with a tape-enhanced deconstruction of the Tin Pan Alley chestnut "Blue Skies," Hirsch explored the complex fantasy world of a Jewish woman living in midcentury Brooklyn. Equally specific and universal, "States" celebrated in the joy of song while conveying the chaos of everyday life through technical and emotional extremism. None of these works, however, approached the immediacy of William Parker's "Elegy for Fred Hopkins," an ambitious reaction to the former Air bassist's death earlier last month. Parker eschewed his own bass in order to conduct the Little Huey Creative Music Orchestra through a spectrum of moods ranging from meditative plinking, to free-blowing jazz ecstasy, to the timeless, nostalgia-free rhythms of African percussion. It was a perfect way to end an evening devoted to the history of the future. Richard Gehr
El Ectronica
By 9 o'clock Sunday night, the Broncos were up 24-6 and the spooky sexy subculture that dare not speak its name was ready for some P-Mosh remixes and a night of bilingual buggin'. Ramon Nova (the Dominican Tricky), fronting his Latinelectronica trio called Om, announced to the crowd, "Tienes permiso para gritar!" (You have permission to scream!) While no one took him up on the offer, the undulating wahwah vibe Nova created on his ice-blue Gibson was tangible evidence that Latin Alternative had taken over the Elbow Room.
"Have you ever asked yourself/Just who you are?" Nova goaded the crowd, as if to challenge the Gen Equis mob on the dance floor to appraise the state of its fragile nation three years removed from the birth of King Chango. Well, for one thing, the drum'n'bass thing persists like freaky Frida Kahlo stigmata in bands like Om, Urbi et Orbi, and Si-Se. But Carol Cardenas of Si-Se proved much more than just a Latin triphop knockoff of Morcheeba's Skye Edwards. In her riveting 20-minute set, she effortlessly conjured a meta-raga rock by scatting bossa nova over dreamy dub, Santería syncopation, and sinewy Art of Noise chords.
Sure, Latin percussion has a kicky effect when enmeshed in the rat-a-tat-tat of jungle, but the jangly three-chord chaos of Naranja just plain rocked. German Palacios playfully spearheaded an attack of distorted power riffs without resorting to knee-jerk appropriations from Argentine dinosaurs Soda Stereo. But the evening's award for authenticity and swing went to headliners Conjunto Antibalas (Anti-Bullet Band), a 10-piece soul arkestra boasting three ex-members of King Chango. Fueled by funky Fela grooves, bugaloo beats, and a passion for the plight of the pueblo, Conjunto Antibalas sent everyone home knowing who they are and what they like to dance to. Introducing a song called "We Want Food but They Give Us Poison," leader-saxophonistcommunity activist Martin Antibalas proclaimed that "All that junk food in the barrios is part of a plan to kill poor people." This time, everybody screamed. Ed Morales

So many kind words.
It's one thing for us to tell you FastMail is great.
But it means so much more when our customers say it too.
After trialling FastMail for a month, I've just paid for a year. Awesome service! Great value if you have lots of domains that need email
I moved my mail over to @FastMailFM I pay: ~$3/month I get: speed, smarts, security I don't get: tracked, data retained, ads.
thank you @FastMailFM for such a brilliant service, no other calendar app does it so easy. http://t.co/9xN12FAtIu
Just subscribed for a year of @FastMailFM! Super excited to become a user, not a product.
Advanced email search from @FastMailFM just made the service pay for itself. Appreciate the terrific service from their team.

Adding to Congress chief Sonia Gandhi's blistering attack on Narendra Modi's performance, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Sunday said the Gujarat government worked for a handful of corporates and called for "liberating" the State from divisive politics.
Addressing his first election rally in South Gujarat's tribal district of Vansda, he touched upon the "insecurity" of minorities — something Sonia Gandhi chose to avoid given that the issue had cost the party dearly in the 2007 elections.
He spoke at length on the issue, though he also pooh-poohed Mr. Modi's claims of development by reeling out statistics of Gujarat's poor human development index. "Unlike the Opposition we do not play politics of dividing the people. Such type of politics is bad and cannot benefit a political party in the longer run," the Prime Minister said.
He asserted, without naming Mr. Modi, that, "The time has come to liberate Gujarat from such politics and prevent those from returning to power who have been trying to get votes by dividing our society and country."
The Congress had always worked to unite the people. "We know that if there are divisions in our people on the lines of religion, caste, creed and clan...Then we cannot surge ahead as a nation," he said.
"We have been getting regular complaints that minorities and some other segments of society are feeling insecure in the State. Even a few State government officers have filed such complaints, which is very unfortunate for our country," Singh said. "It is a matter of great regret that such an environment prevails in the land of Mahatma Gandhi."
Dr. Singh pointed out, "The foundation of Gujarat's development was laid by the Congress governments in 70s. It is due to the hardworking people of this State that it is considered to be developing."
He asked if the benefits were reaching minorities, Scheduled Tribes and Scheduled Castes. "It is very unfortunate that in a developed State like Gujarat, 41 per cent women are victims of malnourishment. If one looks at women in the 15-50 age group, we find that 55 per cent women are anaemic," Dr. Singh said.
"If we take a look at the top 20 States in terms of human development Gujarat ranks 18th. You must think what the reason behind this is."
The Prime Minister said the public health sector was in a pathetic state and new employment opportunities were not being created.
He also raised the issue of incomplete work of Sardar Sarovar Narmada Dam canal and water problems being faced by people in the State.
"In the last 10 years, only 26 per cent of work of Sardar Sarovar Narmada dam project has been completed. If Congress forms the government in the State, then we will speed up the work and try our best to bring happiness in each and every village and provide all the benefits to the farmers which they are truly entitled for," Dr. Singh said.

Suppression is a 2D side-scrolling horror game wherein you take the role of a police officer who has recently moved to a new town. Whilst checking out an apartment in which to live he stumbles into the beginnings of an epidemic, one that is turning the residents into shambling, vicious creatures. After becoming infected himself, the officer resolves to help as many survivors who are under siege in the apartment building as possible before he succumbs completely to the disease. It is here that the game really begins, as the story branches out into many different endings that you can achieve based upon your actions.
We have run some initial test with porting Suppression to the OUYA console using a devkit and so far so good!
Posted by blacklancestudio on Mar 3rd, 2013
It's been a while since the last update and we have been working hard adding in new achievements, improving the enemy and allied AI and have been running tests to the get the game running on the new OUYA console.
It looks like there wont have to be too many changes to get the fully ported to the console! We have also developed the second puzzle. This involves collecting runes for some ancient aztec like statues.
Six of the quests are now complete and we are working on polishing up what we've made so far and start the next round of testing.
Our tests so far have been collecting lots of great feedback, where the game is too slow or too hard we are working on improving the balance of the game. We've also been trying to make the game scarier and add more tension.
We are still looking to get more funders to help keep this project going at a steady pace. You can check out our indiegogo campaign here.
After the next round of testing is complete we will begin working on the two new areas, the courtyard and the old warehouse. Each area will only be accessible under certain circumstances so you will get to experiment with which npcs to help and in which order.

The Blue Room (La Chambre bleue)
By Alan Scherstuhl
Simultaneously withholding and smothering, Francine, about a woman just released from prison, provides title-role-starring Melissa Leo another opportunity, after Frozen River and The Fighter, to play economic-margins dress-up. Her crime or length of time behind bars never specified, Francine settles into a lean-to somewhere in the Hudson Valley and drifts through a series of jobs, most of which involve animal care. Human interaction proves more difficult, unless it involves bending over in the bathroom on an impromptu break from her cocktail-waitressing shift at the racetrack. Yet Francine's preference for the company of quadrupeds quickly develops into pathology, as her shack is soon overrun with cats and dogs and their excrement—at which point Brian M. Cassidy and Melanie Shatzky's debut feature (they have made two documentaries before this) reveals itself to be a project of few interesting ideas. Unlike, say, Barbara Loden's Wanda (1970), whose female drifter from bleakest Pennsylvania coal country makes a series of bad decisions that aren't independent-filmmaking semaphore for abjection, Francine eventually abandons its opacity for queasy-making cruelty.

Hey, I am about to start college, and recently graduated from high school a few months ago. I've noticed that my old friends don't care about me much anymore. For example, I was friends with this foreign exchange student from China, we used to hang out on the weekends and go to the gym often (no homo.) I've emailed him the other day and asked him when he was coming back to the US of A, and he ignored me. I've texted him, and he ignored me again. His college starts early too, and the college he is attending is in the same town where I currently live.
This other guy is going to college in the same city that I will be going to college to. We both have the same major, and both got about the same grades in high school. He even told me towards the end of the year that we should hand out and he could even hire me and we could work on some business ideas together (we are both doing business major. ) I sent him a Facebook message and he ignored me as well.
Thoughts? How to get over this?

The options for breakfast and lunch were really good. The location right on the beach was awesome and right next door to Atlantis. The room itself was very very nice. All the bars are included in the all inclusive as are the 4 options for room service
Room service only had 4 options; chick Cesar salad,turkey sandwich, tuna sandwich, or nachos. To get reservations for dinner you have to be up very early to stand In line. Pool closed way early, when checking in the front desk woman wasn't very kind.

For the most part, the staff was supremely friendly. All-inclusive is hard to beat. I also liked the close proximity to the beach.
I went to the Bahamas to get some peace and quiet by the ocean. Unfortunately there are jet skis and banana boats going pretty constantly from about 10am until around 6pm EVERY SINGLE DAY. So if you want peace and quiet by the ocean this is NOT the place!

I was greeted as if I were the only guest checking in that night. Great front desk staff. Housekeeping was awesome. I didn't have to worry with whether I had left any valuables out with Jazmine taking care of my 11th floor room.

A story of mothers and daughters, of a struggle with racial identity and a journey to find a sense of belonging.
A True Story
Where are you from?' is a question I always find hard to answer. 1971: an ad in Nursery World. 'Private foster parents required for a three-month-old baby' - me. The lucky applicants are a 57-year-old white woman and her daughter, who love babies, especially black babies.My mother arrives, a haughty Nigerian woman in a convertible with a moses basket on the seat beside her, setting the net curtains in this all-white council estate twitching. And though the whole place makes my privileged mother's skin crawl, she returns to London with an empty basket beside her, choosing this home for me because, unusually for the estate, my foster mother talks proper, and I'll need a posh white accent for the bright future I have ahead of me.I'll cling on to that idea - that I've a bright future ahead of me - even though there's nothing in my upbringing to warrant it. Even though my mother's love consists of long absences, confusing behaviour and dauntingly high expectations. Even though my foster mother's love is overwhelming and suffocating. Even though I seem to be a magnet for abusive sexual attention from men I barely know. Even though the authorities have no idea where to put me or where I belong, and nor, really, do I. And even when I fall pregnant at eighteen and find myself back in the rural town I'd tried to escape from, with a tiny baby dependent on me, I still think the future's out there. I'll find it, whatever it takes.Precious is the story of growing up black in a white community, of struggling to find an identity that fits amid conflicting messages, of deciphering a childhood full of secrets and dysfunction. Painfully honest, swerving from farce to tragedy, Precious has a spirit that refuses to be crushed.
Precious Williams is a former contributing editor to Cosmopolitan and her personal essays and celebrity interviews have also appeared in the Telegraph, The Times, the Guardian, Wallpaper, Elle, Marie Claire and the New York Post. She lives in London.

BJP leader Prakash Javadekar and expelled Samajwadi Party leader Amar Singh today shared the stage for the cause of Telangana statehood and slammed the UPA government for not heeding to the demand of the people.
The two addressed a rally by pro-Telangana advocates from Andhra Pradesh here. Mr. Singh was seen joining Mr. Javadekar when the latter raised the "Jai-Jai Telangana" slogan from the dais.
Leader of the Opposition in Rajya Sabha and senior BJP leader Arun Jaitley could not turn up.
Mr. Singh, who demanded carving out Poorvanchal, Harit Pradesh and Bundelkhand from Uttar Pradesh, said smaller states were necessary for a faster pace of development.
"When I was the General Secretary of SP, I could not openly support the demand for Telangana in Parliament as the party was against smaller states. Now, when I demand for Poorvanchal, Harit Pradesh or Bundelkhand, how can I remain silent for Telangana and Vidarbha," he told the gathering.
Terming the Terms of Reference of the Justice Srikrishna Committee on Telangana as a "joke", Mr. Singh said the document only reflected the Centre's policy of "management by postponement."
"They only see the protests against Telangana and not the support," he said.
Keywords: Amar Singh, Prakash Javadekar, Telangana, smaller states

Crimson-purple; black fruits abound on the bouquet and palate, intertwined with spice, pepper and fine tannins; the overall mouthfeel is exceptionally good, emphasising the medium-bodied, elegant nature of the wine.
Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2010 South West Rocks Shiraz has an intense, complex nose of ripe black cherries, black raspberries and roses with underlying hints of toast, nuts, baking spices and smoked meat. Medium-bodied with amazing intensity and tension in the mouth, it has a medium to firm level of grainy tannins, very crisp acid and a long finish. Made for the long haul, consider holding onto it for a year or two and drink 2014 to 2024+.

Body detoxes..& feeling sick?! Please help! It works wraps!
Drink lots of water. As much as you can stomach. I was told (I am no expert though) that you need to drink a lot of water when you do something that releases toxins from your body. And in my experience, it was normal for me to feel a little light headed an funky for a bit. Good luck!

Welcomed our beautiful baby girl 11/25/11
I don't know if you should be worried or not...have you ever done anything like that before? What do the directions say? Do they list side effects? Maybe look it up online and see if what you're feeling is comparable to what others feel when they go through it.
Lisa, married to Hawkeye 2/25/08. Mom to Jaxson as of 11/4/11! #2 joining the crew around July 13, 2013!
Yes, have a friend that does them right before summer every year. The release of toxins can cause all those symptoms. Drink lots of water and get your electrolytes back to normal. Have a banana, coconut water, pedialyte, that kind of thing. Take care of yourself.
