After 2002 Godhra and 2004 Ishrat Jahan, now add the Tulsi Prajapati encounter case of 2001 to the list. We now have an umpteenth sting operation against the BJP which features Prakash Javadekar and Bhupendra Yadav (both MPs) along with RSS man Ramlal Gupta.
Sting operations in India follow a very interesting pattern. The Congress has ruled India for the maximum number of years: The party has produced maximum Prime Ministers and maximum Prime Ministers.
Not only this, but Congress regimes have witnessed the maximum number of scams. It follows that the maximum number of sting operations should have taken place against the Congress. But that is not so.
You may remember the Tehelka expose in 2001 that showed the BJP in very bad light. Samata Party leader George Fernandes had to quit as Defence Minister. BJP President Bangaru Laxman was convicted.
But there is a catch. There was no scam in the first place. It was solely created by Tehelka to show loopholes in the Indian defence system. (In the US, they probably would have been thrown in jail for life for doing such a thing.)
However when the cash for votes scam happened in 2008, which might have shown the Congress and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in very bad light, the concerned TV channel meekly handed over the sting tapes to totally kill the matter at that time.
Even something like Operation Duryodhana, which involved 11 MPs taking money to ask questions in Parliament, featured only 1 Congress MP as against 7 BJP MPs: This despite the fact that Congress MPs are the single largest block. Co-incidence?

God doesn't have any other material with which to build your life except His Word. He created the whole universe with his Word, and his power to save, lift and bless is in his Word. This is why Apostle Paul in Romans 1:16 says, "For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek." this means that God cannot save anyone outside the Gospel of Christ.
There are different kinds of meetings, and depending on its nature, the Spirit of God will be present to guide in the direction of the meeting. For example, if this meeting was a thanksgiving service, He'll be there to make the thanksgiving accepted to God, because God will not receive anything you offer to Him if it isn't sanctified by the Holy Spirit. So when you come together for a thanksgiving service, the anointing will sanctify and present your offering to God. When you come for a prayer meeting, He inspires you to pray and He answers. If you want to have a prayer meeting, don't spend 90% of your time teaching about prayer. During our healing services, we don't teach about healing, we heal, and anything else comes later.
This is a finance Conference therefore the subject of discussion this week is about finances. Someone may ask; 'why is it important that we talk about finances in the house of God?' We do a lot of things with money, and we are going to be talking about how to multiply your finances. This is important because when you do, you would be able to help others; not just those around you, but those afar off too. With money you can do anything, except the things only God can do. This is why the bible says (Ecclesiastes 7:12) that money is a defense: but the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom giveth life to them that have it. This shows us that wisdom gives life, but money doesn't. Therefore when money cannot defend you, the wisdom of God will.
There are those who think you must be dishonest to have a lot of money. That's not true. Money is not cash; it is a measure of value, and therefore a medium of exchange which can be used for the payment for goods and services.
Money speaks of value. What are you worth? What is the value of your time? What is the value of the time you spend at work? What is the value of your presence in a place at a time? Cash is what you get; it doesn't say something about your value or personality. That's why when a man steals money, he reduces himself. The money you have is not that which you use to make payment. Your actual value is how much you are worth as a person. This is why I always encourage people to add value to themselves. It is important to do so because when you add value to yourself, the time you spend at work will have more value, and others will be willing to pay for it. Let the investment you make in yourself be an agent of positive change. Your value is more important than the cash at hand. This is why you should work on improving yourself to increase your value.
As you add knowledge to yourself, you'll need someone to guide and teach you to translate that knowledge to become a positive power of change; and that's what this Finance Convention is about. Every day as the Word is shared, you'd find out that you're lifted, and by the close of the week, what you have learnt will be so seasoned that it'll become knowledge you can act upon that'll produce results.
Hebrew 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
2 Corinthians 5:7 (For we walk by faith, not by sight:)
When you got born again, you were born into a spiritual kingdom, even though you have a body with which you function in the earthly realms. Right now, you are living in the spiritual realm and the physical realm pari passu, because your body interacts with the physical world, while your spirit relates with the realms of the spirit.
The carnal man is limited to functioning only in the physical world. This limits him to many things because the physical world is controlled from the realms of the spirit. If God, who is a spirit created the physical world, this suggests the spirit world is greater that the physical, thus, proof positive that this world is controlled from the realms of the spirit. The events you find in nations don't happen; they at ordered from the realms of the spirit. This is why when we see certain occurrences here on earth, we are not surprised because we know where it's coming from.
Jesus brought us reality. The prophets of old were not given to understand the operations of demons or angels. If someone was sick in their days, they'd take him to see a physician. It was until Jesus came and healed the sick by casting out spirits, because He could see the cause of the illness, which were beyond the physical eyes. Jesus opened our eyes to see what our optical eyes can't see. He is the Word of God, and the Word illuminates, that's why we can now see why someone lost his job, a business suddenly crumbles, or a family with a 'ceiling-point' that no one progresses beyond. The Word of God will show you the true picture of things from the spirit realm. The scriptures will bring light, and you can see.
Interestingly, many of these things affect Christians; they suffer things they shouldn't because of ignorance. They wonder why they do everything to the best of their knowledge- that's the problem; their knowledge of the Word of God wasn't enough.
Works- The Corresponding Action
Sometimes when you study the writings of Paul, you'll find out that your faith can just do anything. However, there was a Pastor in the scriptures, Pastor James, who was with his brethren every day, and found out that there were some things that weren't just working even though the brethren had 'faith'.
James 2:14- 26
14 What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, 16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit? 17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. 18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. 19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. 20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? 21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? 22 Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect? 23 And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God. 24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only. 25 Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way? 26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
The one who thinks faith without works is enough ... He called him a vain man, that means, devoid of truth.. Faith without the corresponding action is dead. He said Abraham was justified when he acted his faith. A man is justified not by faith alone, but by works too. As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
This is very important. Jesus used this principle in John 5. There was a man who couldn't walk for 38 years. The bible also shows us the character of this man because when Jesus asked him, do you want to get well, (he didn't know Jesus so) he complained in response instead of asking for help to get into the pool at the annual stirring of the water. Something to learn from here: instead of complaining about a problem, pray. Many people complain instead of praying, and this is a reason many remain in the same predicament for a long time as we can see from the example of this man who had suffered this long. Many times, some people complain, when they think they are actually praying.
When Jesus was going to minister to him, he said to the man; 'get up, take your bed and go'. The healing was instant! He demanded an action from the man, something the man couldn't do considering his state. One time, a man with a withered hand came to Jesus, and Jesus asked him to stretch forth his hand, and his hand became whole as the others beheld.
Another example is the blind man who was brought to Jesus and didn't have eyes at all. Jesus spat on the ground, mixed it with clay, put it in his eyes, and asked him to wash in the pool of Siloam. He formed eyes! And the bible says the man went, washed, and came back seeing.
If you're going to walk with God, you'll have to express your faith with your actions. Because faith without works is dead. Seed time and harvest
Genesis 8:22-
While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
God spoke these words. Notice he didn't say seed time and harvest time, because he can make your harvest anytime. Seed time means time for sowing seeds. When you sow your seeds, there'll be a harvest. But not so many understand the principles of sowing.
If you're here, and you're going through the same negative situation for many years, it shows you are not listening to what you think you are listening to. It's just like someone who distributes Rhapsody or Realities freely but never reads it. I buy my Rhapsody of Realities, and I read it daily. If the messages in it will bless people, I'll be smart to read it too. Being in a library doesn't mean you have read the books there. This is the sad case of many Christians who have the solution to challenges with them, yet suffer for a long time.
Galatians 6:7 (read verses 6, and 8- 10)
7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. 8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
This scripture has been used many times to address sin, but that's not true when you read it in context with the other above listed verses.
As we do good to people, it is counted as sowing seeds. The question is, what are you giving?The scripture says if you sow to the flesh, you'll reap corruption (emptiness, corruption, failure). There are some people who give their tithes to charity. In God's record, you didn't give the tithe because you gave it according to your feeling, not God's Word, because the scripture teaches to give your tithe to God, in the house of God, by giving it to the priest.
When you give money to the poor, it is your gift, not to God. Your offering to God is through the priest. Verse 7 lays emphasis on the fact that what a man sows, that he shall reap also. If you sow good works, you will reap the same. If you sow the word, understood and applied correctly it'll produce results.
One of the things the spirit wants me to teach you, is about sowing financial seeds. . If you want to have financial rewards, you must sow money seeds. Sowing money seeds involves sowing money for the sole purpose of reaping money. This is not the same as sowing money as seed because of a health need, etc.
Now, this says nothing about the size of your seed because it is from your spirit that you give value to anything. What made the woman who gave two mites give more than others? |t wasn't that she gave her all, but she gave what was all to her. You might give all that you have, but it might not mean much to you. You might give God your only and last television- but the real situation may be that you don't watch the television. God doesn't see value this way.
Genesis 26:1-7,12-14
1 And there was a famine in the land, beside the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went unto Abimelech king of the Philistines unto Gerar. 2 And the LORD appeared unto him, and said, Go not down into Egypt; dwell in the land which I shall tell thee of: 3 Sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed, I will give all these countries, and I will perform the oath which I sware unto Abraham thy father; 4 And I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; 5 Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws. 6 And Isaac dwelt in Gerar:
You might live in Nigeria, and think you might not be very successful because of the country, but from the scripture above, we see God instructing Isaac to remain in the land. When things went bad in the land the first time, Abraham ran to Egypt, which wasn't a successful option. Now, it was Isaac's turn, but this time, God told him to stay in the land.
When you want to give your offering, do you just take it from your pocket straight to the offering bag? You should speak to your offering. Your words are so important in the kingdom of God that they determine your destiny. God has given us the gift of words to use to determine our destiny.
Learn to watch your seeds, because sowing a seed doesn't guarantee a harvest; many things will happen to it just the same way it is with a seed you plant in the ground.
This year, add to what you do; if a farmer wants to get more results, he might change his technique, but not the law of sowing and reaping. There are seeds you sow for your business, health, academics, etc. This conference is about finances, so since we are dealing with financial increase, you should sow money seeds.
Have faith in your giving. If you could have so much faith in a pilot that you wouldn't ask for his qualifications, certify the engines are working with proof, or verify the pilot knew the air route to your destination, how much more God? Sometimes we have faith in men who fail. If you could enter a theatre with masked surgeons holding dangerous looking cutting weapons, and you know they'll cut you, yet you're confident they wouldn't make mistakes, how much more God. Give a little bit of that confidence to God and watch your life change.

A consumer alert for trick-or-treaters this Halloween. What's in their costumes could be spookier than the outfits themselves.
According to the Environmental Working Groups many of those flexible plastic Halloween face masks contain PVC, a chemical shown to be harmful to kids.
The group also says youngsters should stay away from the colored hair-sprays which may contain toxic chemicals children can breath in.
And perhaps of most concern are halloween face-paints. Some may contain lead.
In fact there was a test done last year for the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics and all of the face paints they tested had lead in them and lead is particularly concerning for young children because it s a neurotoxin and can impact their brain development, explained Renee Hackenmiller-Paradis with the Oregon Environmental Council.
The good news for concerned parents is that many stores offer non-toxic alternatives for kids like wigs instead of hairsprays, half masks instead of full, or costumes that keep your child's face free and clear.
You can find more ways to green your halloween including recipe s for homemade face-paint here.

U.Va. board meeting expenses top others in state
by AP
posted Aug 13 2012 3:49PM
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) - The University of Virginia Board of Visitors spends more on travel and food than the boards of other state colleges.
U.Va.'s board spent more than $125,000 on food and travel over the past year.
Virginia Commonwealth University's board expenses were less than $48,000. Virginia Commonwealth has nearly 32,000 students, compared to 24,300 at U.Va.
The U.Va. board's biggest expense is an annual retreat. Last year, the board spent $34,000 for a two-day retreat in Alexandria.
Board Rector Helen Dragas tells the newspaper that the retreats are an opportunity to focus on one or two important issues. She says board members want to control the event's costs.

Making food fair
Fair Food Project's 3-video series shows how domestic workers, farms and companies can all benefit from a fairer farm labor system.
Fri, Dec 18, 2009 at 05:41 PM
Image courtesy of Fair Food Project
If you've seen Food, Inc., you got a quick overview of some of the hardships faced by many of the workers who help bring food to your table. Now, a short video series from the Fair Food Project takes a closer look at the work and lives of migrant farm workers.
Put together by California Institute for Rural Studies and Rick Nahmias Photography with a grant from the Columbia Foundation, Fair Food Project is a three-video series that highlights some of the labor problems in conventional farms today. It then goes into the many solutions, and the activists behind those solutions, intended to improve labor conditions and the food we eat.
The first video, "The Farmworkers," lays out the dire situation. Featuring short interviews with a number of migrant workers, the video describes the mistreatment and overwork — ranging from cramped living conditions to slavery-like labor with threats of violence — endured by migrant farm workers.
Luckily, the second and third videos are more hopeful. "The Growers" highlights the growing number of farms and food companies that are trying to merge ethical labor practices with healthy, organic agriculture. According to one foodie activist, improving farm workers' livelihoods simply requires "communication and understanding that their well-being matters to you." She points out that "happy worker turns into productive farm," linking eco-ethical concerns with the economic bottom line. The last video, "The Advocates," covers the many activist groups, organizations and companies that are working to make domestic food fair.
While informative, the Fair Food Project can be rather dry, especially if you're already aware of many of the issues brought up in the films. The last video, for example, basically features one to two-sentence clips that introduce a whole bunch of different activist groups and companies — sort of like a long bulleted list in video-form. Still, each video's just five to nine minutes long and will likely introduce you to some great local activist organizations to get involved with — and some forward-thinking farms to buy from.

Sort by body type:
I found these boots much heavier, thicker and bulkier than I had envisioned. I'm hoping that I can wear them in and find a good outfit for them but as boots to wear with a skirt, or skinny jeans, they seem too much like workman boots for me.
I fell in love with this boots since I first saw them last year. Finally caved and bought it. They are true to size. It did take a few days to break them in. However, I am only disappointed that the pair I got has a defect: the inner shaft of the boots are not the same length, one is higher than the other. I cannot return them since I'm going to have to pay return shipping and it costs a lot since it's international. :(
i bought mine somewhere else and were more expensive then listed here.but i just had to have them.i recommend to the ladies with a slightly wider foot to go half a size up,as i did and they fit great.they are extremely comfortable,which was a pleasant surprise(there was no need to break them in).i like the heel it offers good support and adds to the look of the boot.they're extremely versatile and can be worn many different ways.i can't wait til spring so i can rock them with a cute dress.i definitely recommend getting these babies,you won't regret it!

U.S.-Africa Trade:
Options for Congressional Consideration to Improve Textile and Apparel Sector Competitiveness under the African Growth and Opportunity Act
GAO-09-916: Published: Aug 12, 2009. Publicly Released: Aug 12, 2009.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-4347
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
According to U.S. government officials, sub-Saharan Africa's (SSA) textile and apparel industry has not achieved the growth anticipated under the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA). Despite the tariff reductions under AGOA, after an initial surge, U.S. imports of these products from beneficiary countries have declined in recent years (see figure). In view of this outcome, the 2008 Andean Trade Preference Extension legislation required GAO to prepare a report identifying changes to U.S. trade preference programs "to provide incentives to increase investment and other measures necessary to improve the competitiveness of [SSA] beneficiary countries in the production of yarns, fabric, and other textile and apparel inputs." This report is intended to provide Congress a range of options put forward by experts for (1) possible changes to AGOA or other U.S. trade preference programs and (2) other measures the U.S. government could take to help increase investment in and improve competitiveness of SSA textile and apparel inputs production.
Many of the options discussed by the panel of experts GAO convened address the need to consider the trade-offs inherent in trade preference programs. Furthermore, experts emphasized that the link between trade policy and economic development complicates potential policy responses. While AGOA has generous benefits for textile and apparel, many SSA countries face infrastructure and development challenges that must be addressed before they can fully take advantage of these benefits. Recognizing this interplay, GAO's panel of experts and key informants gave greatest priority to options they believed provide long-term investors with predictability of benefits and encourage regional commitments relative to other developing countries. Such options included: (1) Extending the duration of the third-country fabric provision for least developed AGOA countries beyond 2012, and (2) Extending the duration of overall AGOA benefits beyond 2015. The panel similarly gave greatest priority to the options for other development measures that focused on supporting investment through trade capacity building. Many experts considered trade capacity building to be a key component of improving the competitiveness of African textile and apparel inputs production, and in developing the physical and market infrastructure needed for a vibrant export sector. Such options included: (1) Funding regional trade hubs and focusing on market promotion and business linkages, and (2) Aligning U.S. trade capacity building and development assistance with AGOA objectives

Cornbread is one of those foods that people seem to develop strangely strong feelings about. Not that there's anything wrong with preferring one type of cornbread over another, but I'm been to a barbecue or two where the argument over whether cake-like cornbread or skillet cornbread was better got even hotter than the grill did! For cornbread fans, The Cornbread Gospels is a cookbook dedicated ... Read More »

Sweet Corn and Carrot Cornbread
Savory, unsweetened cornbread may be considered by some to be the ideal choice for sopping up chili and barbecue sauce, but I prefer my cornbread to be a little on the sweet side. Since corn is naturally sweet, I feel like a little bit of sugar or honey can really make a cornbread stand out – and neither will keep cornbread from being a good ... Read More »
Maple Cornbread Stuffing
There are some schools of thought that say you shouldn't use the same kind of cornbread that you like to eat plain when you are making a cornbread stuffing. They suggest using denser or sturdier cornbread that won't break or crumble when mixed in, but will hold its shape just like bread cubes do. My feeling is that if your cornbread is good when eaten ... Read More »
Maple Cornbread
Sweet or savory, I like cornbread in just about any form it comes in. But if I have to choose between the two, I'll opt for slightly sweet over savory almost every time. This is simply because I feel that sweet cornbread is slightly more versatile. It goes well with chilis, meats and other savory/spicy foods and can also be eaten with jam for breakfast. ...

Cornbread Griddle Cakes
A griddle cake is another word for a pancake, but it seems to be used more often to indicate something more rustic and less breakfast-y than the word "pancake." This makes it the perfect descriptor for these cornbread cakes.

All Purpose Cornbread
Cornbread is a food that has inspired a lot of debate. Do you like the southern, unsweetened, skillet-baked version with its crispy crust? Do you prefer the high rising, soft and sweet northern-style cornbread, which is almost a sort of cake? Maybe it's because I'm out on the coast, but I like both types of cornbread.

Mini Turkey Cornbread Sandwiches
I remembered a post on My Adventures in the Breadbox that Alice did way back in March and decided that some of my leftover turkey was just the thing to make mini-muffin sandwiches. The only question in my mind was to decide what type of muffins to make. Cornbread always goes well with turkey, so adding cornmeal to the muffins was an easy decision. I ... Read More »
Zucchini Cornbread
I feel like I have been in a bit of a rut lately. Looking back through the last couple of weeks, I can see that this isn't entirely true, not as far as posting is concerned, but that doesn't change the way I feel. I think it's because of the seasons. It's the end of summer and the end of the summer season means cooler ... Read More »

Veteran triathlete dies in Subic race
A TRIATHLON event again turned tragic as veteran Reymond "Mon" Cruz collapsed during the race and never recovered Sunday.
Cruz, 41, died of aneurysm according to Tom Carrasco, president of the Triathlon Association of the Philippines (Trap) and chair of the Philippine Olympic Committee.
He collapsed during the run leg of Unilab Active Health's Tri United 1 in Subic Bay where he competed in the grueling Olympic distance of 1.5K swim-40K bike-10K run and was declared dead after efforts by emergency personnel to revive him at the hospital failed.
"It's very unfortunate because he's a veteran and very fit," said Carrasco. "When he collapsed, the response was quick, the ambulance was there. But with aneurysm, we just never know."
Cruz, a lawyer, was survived by his wife Katrina, who was waiting at the finish line after also competing in the event's shorter sprint distance of 750m swim-20K bike-5K run.
Ramon Igaña Jr., a competitor in the Cobra Ironman 70.3 Philippines in Cebu last August, also died after taking a crash during the bike leg from acute pulmonary embolism or the sudden blockage of a blood vessel in the lung.
Arland Macasieb, the country's former top triathlete, described Cruz as "a big strong guy with a gentle spirit and very eager to learn."
Racers expressed their sympathy as Tri United's race director Raul Cuevas also issued a public condolence.
Trap, in a statement, reminded all racers "to undergo thorough medical examinations" before plunging into the demanding sport.

Kitchen Fire breaks out at 17 Woodside Terrace in Springfield
By Lindsay Iadeluca - emailSPRINGFIELD, Mass (WGGB) — The Springfield Fire Department responded to a fire at 17 Woodside Terrace Saturday at 12:36 p.m. When crews arrived on scene they found a kitchen fire on the 3rd floor caused by unattended cooking.
July 19th, 2014
July 19th, 2014
The third floor of the building suffered $35,000 in damage and is unlivable.
The first and second floors of the building sustained minor water damages. Commissioner's Aide Dennis Leger says it's hard to tell whether the families can go back yet because the water is affecting the electricity flow. The electric company will be looking into this as soon as possible.
No one was injured in the fire and it was extinguished quickly.
The Red Cross is assisting the two displaced families as they get back on their feet.

Forehand/backhand video analysis
View Single Post
Hall Of Fame
Join Date: Sep 2008

Looks like you got alot of advice on the forehand and not so much on the backhand, so I'll give you advice in that area.
You have no topspin on your backhand, and your definitley going to want that if your going to want a consistent backhand. The reason for your lack of topspin is that your not letting the racket drop below the ball. You are swinging straight THROUGH the ball instead of swinging UP and through the ball, which is the motion that creates topspin. Also make sure to bend your knees in order to get under the ball. See this picture and notice Federer's racket well beneath the ball. He does in order to create topspin. Right now you have a very risky backhand, as it is really hard to hit hard and flat consistently
Also, as soon as you recognize your going to hit a backhand set up as soon as you possibly can. A good 1hbh needs very good footwork, and the more time you have to set up the better. Run to the ball, set your feet, and swing with a high to low motion to create topspin.
For your slice backhand, I suggest you start hitting through the ball more so it doesn't float/sit up as much. Overall though, lack of topspin on your backhand and the lazy footwork is your problem. I think you told me you've been running, so keep that up! Work on your speed, it will help I guarantee it.
Good luck though, your improving a good rate so keep it up

It seems like everything about Roku's Netflix Player seems understated, from the plain, unceremonious purple box it shipped in, to the nondescript black plastic case, to the stripped-bare user interface. But as we've quickly discovered, it's pretty easy to learn to love this little hundred dollar bugger, even despite the fact that we need another set top box in our living room like we need a hole in the head. Sure, it's great that Netflix subscribers get a cheap, easy avenue for additional content to their TV, but the real beauty here is that this might actually be a streaming video box friendly enough to rival the Apple TV -- or to give your folks. Some initial impressions:
- The box is extremely small and light; looking inside, it just looks like a single, small PCB.
- Most of the vertical space it does consume seems to be for its myriad ports, including composite, component, S-Video, HDMI, and TOSLINK.
- The guided setup out of the box is really brief and painless. It supports 802.11b/g with WEP, WPA, and WPA2, and we were online in a cinch. Activating the box is as simple as hitting netflix.com/activate and entering a short code -- really easy and instantaneous.
- The remote looks cheap at first blush, but it's actually got a pretty good feel to it. The buttons are clikier than they are mushy.
- The interface, at its best, is simple and slick looking. It has almost no options and is ridiculously straight-forward. The interface, at its worst (namely, during movie playback), is still pretty decent, but lacks some polish.
- While fast-forwarding, you get still image markers to help indicate progress. It's nicety to ease the pain of skipping through streaming video (which we know presents some unique technological challenges), but it can use a little work. Chapter/scene markers, as in the Apple TV, would be a good start.
- Movie selection is done completely within Netflix's site, so don't expect to do any browsing through the device interface. If you want to load and watch any content on the box, you have to make sure it's in your Netflix Instant Queue through a browser. This part is definitely the biggest drawback for power users, but it does ensure a crazy simple device UI with zero learning curve.
- Movies don't load instantly (even on a 25Mbps connection), but they do load pretty quickly.
- Video quality is so-so. Definitely worse than a DVD and not even quite up to a standard def Apple TV vid. But it's certainly passable, and Netflix seems genuinely interested in bumping up the visual fidelity in the future.
- We saw some really wacky stuff going on with the HDMI, and the device did not play well at all with our HDMI switch. Roku let us know they're aware of some HDMI problems, and will be pushing out bug fixes and software updates as they're completed.
- Netflix dispatched a team of a couple dozen engineers to Roku to build the Netflix Player. Netflix didn't want to be the only hardware partner (which we already know), but clearly wanted to make sure whomever released the first box really nailed it.
- Netflix (and Roku) understand that the device's value doesn't just end with playing back Netflix content, and anticipate the box having content coming in from other providers as partnerships get hammered out.
- The box only outputs at 480i (over composite and S-Video) and 480p (over component and HDMI), although Roku will enable HD content (and menus) as soon as Netflix gives the thumbs-up. From the sound of things, it seems like they want to do this sooner than later, which we clearly hope they will.

There's no shortage of lenses to choose from in the short zoom category, and Sigma's offering presents an economical alternative to the major manufacturer's options. Optically it tested well, and it's not too hard on the pocketbook.

Hi ladies, I am 5ft 7in and 112 lbs...which makes my BMI about 17.5 and underweight. I have always been tall and slender and my primary doctor says that it is just my body makeup. I met with an OBGYN and talked with her...she told me to drink Ensure or Carnation shakes everyday along with my breakfast...which I do with fruit blended in it. But by the time I finish it I am too full to eat anything else. I haven't gained anything in the 3 weeks I have been trying this and it is frustrating me. I don't meet with my OBGYN again until the end of the month. If I force myself to eat more with the shake at breakfast then I am so sick and don't eat lunch, so it seems to be a no win situation for me.
I am curious how other underweight ladies put on weight? Did being underweight affect your TTC or did you get PG while underweight?
Everytime I get a BFN I can't help but get mad at myself...I start saying "if only" or "what if"...my DH doesn't think my weight is playing into factor with our TTC, but I think it is. Any advice! Thanks!!

Sebastian Whipped Creme Reviews
Makes your hair Soft...not tacky wet look!Gives your hair body, and softness of mousse or gel. It's NOT sticky or that tacky wet look. It's good for a soft hold like on natural curls.

worked well enoughthis stuff really does look like whip cream. I have shoulder length natural curly hair and had to use more than I thought, it takes some testing to get the right amount. The first time i used it, I thought I had enough, about 2" but my when my hair dried it was a bit bushy and frizzy. So I used 2x as much the next time. Good waves but still a little frizzy. My hair did feel really soft and there is no strong scent which I liked. I hate fragrance in products. — 5 years, 6 months agoiggymama | 296 reviews

Not for my hair typeThis product did nothing for my fine, stick straight hair. I need texture and light weight styling. Without any natural curl in my hair, this product couldn't perform to it's full potential. So I'm not going to vote against the product, but it also didn't do anything for me. — 5 years, 7 months agoitaliaca | 252 reviews
very creamy but no holdThis comes out as shiny fluffy creme, not foamy nor airy. It's very conditioning, but gave absolutely no hold to my hair. It didn't define my layers, and it had no residue on my hair nor my hands. — 5 years, 7 months agoMakeupGuru | 444 reviews
Very light!I can't really use many products because they seem to just weigh my hair down but when I tried this it actually did what I wanted it to without weighing down! Very happy with this product! — 5 years, 6 months agoKikikins625 | 457 reviews
One of the minority but for good reasonThis product left me indifferent. I mean, yeah, it's light and liked whipped cream, but that results in limp, drab hair, for me that is. It claims to "perfectly define bouncing curls and soft waves" but it doesn't have the strength to do so. The only thing that I agree to is that it does "leave a shiny finish" (aka dirty-feeling greasy finish), "without leaving hair dry or...read more crunchy". Look, if this was just some leave-in smoothing styling product, I wouldn't mind it, maybe I'd even tolerate it and use it once in a blue moon if it weren't for the greasy feeling after two hours of wearing it. However, the product didn't deliver what it promised: "bouncy curls" and "soft waves". And nada doing. I'm also not enthusiastic for the smell (it smells like aerosol-sickenly sweet-wannabe bathroom air freshener) or for some of the ingredients (petrolatum and mineral oil). Anyway, for those of you still interested, the directions are as follows: 1) shake well 2) dispense downwards in the palm 3) distribute evenly into damp hair 4) Air dry for a tousled sensual look, diffuse for more luscious defined curves, or set hair for glamorous, bouncy curls. Hope this helps with your purchase :) — 5 years, 6 months agoMLC825 | 332 reviews
Looks like whipped cream!Not only is this product called Whipped Creme, it's packaged like whipped cream and shares the satiny texture of America's favorite dessert topper. I found this product to provide excellent lightweight conditioning. My hair dried soft and shiny and my highlights sparkled.

This is a conditioning product, period.My first use of this product, I used it alone on my damp hair and I let it air dry. I loved the texture of the product before applying it - very much like whipped cream, and the scent is another nice bonus.

I still carry my 3 year old. Not as much but she still gets the lift up. Just use your knees. Im 20 wks

I still pick up and carry my 3 year old, but there are times that my body tells me I need to take a break, I just explain to him that the baby is getting tired from helping hold him and he respondes fairly well to that. I assume that eventually I may be too big to carry him, but I just listen to my body.

- Program Levels in Video Editing: Associate's degree
- Prerequisites: High school diploma or GED, previous experience in video editing
- Program Length: 1-3 years

- Production scheduling
- Budgeting
- Basics of Final Cut Pro

O'Brien: Defense had 'upper hand' over offense in practice
JUL 29, 2014 8:20p ET
HOUSTON - As Houston Texans training camp continues, there has been a clear "winner" of practices with the defense seemingly progressing faster than that of their offensive counterparts.
"I'd say the defense had the upper hand today," head coach Bill O'Brien said after Tuesday morning's practice.
While not knocking the accomplishment of the defense performing well at camp, the offense is having a tougher time installing O'Brien's intricate playbook on the field. The first-year head coach, however, isn't wanting to hear any excuses.
"We have a high standard here," O'Brien said. "So we talk to them a lot about the progression from the meeting room to the walkthrough to execution on the field. You know, we're all here to execute on the field and produce on the field, coach or player. So when we go out there we have a high standard of what our expectations are. When there is a mistake, we have to correct it, but we have to make sure they know those types of mistakes have to be corrected. Certain mistakes are unacceptable: turnovers, dumb penalties, line of scrimmage penalties. I think our guys are learning that and trying to play more disciplined and they're working hard to correct mistakes."
The Texans are still learning the hard way that perfection is demanded of them and if there is any mistakes, they will have to pay for it with some extra work. O'Brien pays no favorites, quarterback Case Keenum and rookie free-agent center missed a snap, resulting in a fumble during drills and were soon seen doing a lap together.
"For one, you don't want to run that lap." tackle Duane Brown said. "It's tiring enough going against our defense. You have a mental mistake and a lack of focus, that lap reminds you that you don't want to do that again. I think it holds everyone accountable."
The offense did have some good moments. Keenum changed a play on the line of scrimmage as a result of a defensive shift and starting quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick made some interesting arm angle changes to get the football past oncoming defensive players. Young offensive linemen Ben Jones and rookie Xavier Su'a-Filo have both been performing well with the tough task of taking on the Texans' defensive line, featuring J.J. Watt, everyday.
"I think these guys worked hard today," O'Brien said on the overall performance of Tuesday morning's practice. "We have a lot of installation right now. So today was first, second and third down, no huddle, different special teams situations, different drills. I still think they are learning how we practice, especially the guys that have been here. Overall, I think it was a good day. The guys are competing. Like I've said from day one, it's a very enjoyable group of guys to coach."

Originally written on Steelers Depot | Last updated 11/4/14
According to several media reports, the Pittsburgh Steelers have signed former Arizona Cardinals running back LaRod Stephens-Howling to a one-year deal on Friday. Stephens-Howling visited with the Steelers earlier this month, but was not signed. In his four seasons with the Cardinals, the Pittsburgh product rushed for 651 yards and five touchdowns on 182 carries. He also registered 534 more yards and three touchdowns on 56 receptions, and another 4,067 yards and three touchdowns on 163 kickoff returns. The signing of Stephens-Howling is merely a depth move, in my opinion, and has absolutely Read more [...]

"I don't like my friends. They're boring — and kind of mean to me! I want to make more friends, but I don't know how to break into a new group. What should I do?"
Ashley, 16, Hartford, CT
Good for you for seeking out friends who make you feel good, Ashley! The secret to meeting new people is finding common interests: So join school clubs, try out for a team or play, get an after-school job, or just start a conversation with someone in your school who you usually don't talk to. As for your old friends, you don't have to make a big deal or even say anything about your plan to branch out. Just start hanging out less and less with them and doing more and more of your own thing. In time you'll have a group of friends who appreciate and deserve you!

What are you, people? On dope? - Mr Hand
Wow. I didn't think there was a chance of them doing this prior to the off season.
Good move though IMO. Despite all the Dusty-bashing that goes on here (and elsewhere), I think he's done a very nice job in his tenure.
94 and winning the division and the NLCS but falling in the WS to Toronto in 6
94 Reds / 86 Cards / 85 Pirates / 76 Cubs / 72 Brewers
I am going to sticky this "rumor" based on the knowings of Hal McCoy.
Some people play baseball. Baseball plays Jay Bruce.
I'm slowly coming around to the idea that the on-field part of the manager's influence is smaller than I've given it credit for in the past. Baker is and will continue to be a poor tactician, but you can't argue that guys love to play for him, that he's handled our young players well, and that he's gotten good performances from the team.
He's always going to drive me nuts with silly lineups, 1-run strategies, odd bullpen management, references to how the game was played in his day, and botched double switches, but I think I might be able to live with the guy. That's not easy for me to say consider how vociferously I reacted to his hiring. I guess winning will do weird things to you.

Games are won on run differential -- scoring more than your opponent. Runs are runs, scored or prevented they all count the same. Worry about scoring more and allowing fewer, not which positions contribute to which side of the equation or how "consistent" you are at your current level of performance.
Nice scoop by Hal if true.

Well deserved.
It's a performance-based business.
"Baseball is a very, very complex business. It's more of a people business than most businesses." - Bob Castellini
Not surprising. Good for Dusty, and probably good for the Reds too based on the current make up of the team.
Championships for MY teams in my lifetime:
Cincinnati Reds - 75, 76, 90
Chicago Blackhawks - 10, 13
University of Kentucky - 78, 96, 98, 12
Chicago Bulls - 91, 92, 93, 96, 97, 98
I've liked Baker pretty much from the start, even with some of his constantly same remarks. E.g. Hank Aaron. It reminds me of the schtick that Gary Burbank, the WLW radio guy (for out-of-towners) who would yammer on about getting picked up by Elvis while hitch-hiking in his hometown of Memphis and meeting Ann Margaret, etc. His crew would go into their manta, "Boring...".
But I like what Dusty's done a lot and and elated that after all these years, we'll have some longevity in the manager's seat.
In the same way that a baseball season never really begins, it never really ends either. - Lonnie Wheeler, "Bleachers, A Summer in Wrigley Field"

Is Hal guessing a little here?
It was well deserved and makes sense. You don't make the playoffs for the first time in 15 years and then go and find a new manager. Dusty is well compensated and I this playoff run has been fun for all the fans involved.
I hope it is only a 2 year contract. If the Reds continue to win I want Dusty at the helm during those years. However I just don't want to see an albatross of a contract that makes the Reds stagnant. Nothing is worse than seeing a team tank it but ownership sitting on its hands because the manager has a 3-4 year contract.
I am pleased and I agree that 2 years would be better than 3 or more.
The tip-off for me that the team and Dusty were close to an agreement came during a quick post-game interview Tuesday night. Dusty said how much he 'loves this team and loves Cincinnati'. In other words, 'I'm stayin'.
this won't be popular, but ...sigh...
Not in love with the guy but I have no issue with this. You gotta keep him at this point.

GC-C−/− mice have an increased load of C. rodentium compared to GC-C+/+ but are still able to clear the infection. A: Increasing numbers of C. rodentium were detected in stool from GC-C−/− mice such that by day 10 there were significantly greater numbers of C. rodentium present relative to GC-C+/+. Note that both genotypes were able to clear the infection by day 20. Each time point consisted of groups of 3–26 mice. Solid line represents median value. Dotted line indicates limit of detection (500 CFU/g stool). Samples below limit of detection were arbitrarily given a value of 100. B: Representative photomicrographs of sections of distal colon of infected GC-C−/− and GC-C+/+ mice labeled with LPS specific antibody (green) exhibit similar bacterial localization at day 10 p.i. Images were counterstained with DAPI (blue). Original magnification was 400X.
