Survivors who are deaf or hard of hearing and use a TTY can call 800-462-7585.

Recovery centers are one-stop shops for eligible storm survivors to get help as quickly as possible. More centers will become available as sites are identified and approved. Conditions at individual locations may vary and affect opening times.

Laughing with Humorist Dave Barry
Podcast: Play in new window | Download
This program was originally broadcast March 23, 2014.
In this episode, Rick explores Dave Barry's new book "You Can Date Boys When You're Forty", with it's author. And on the "Time to Read" segment, Carol Cassella discusses her new novel of medical suspense, "Gemini".
By Rick Kleffel
I thought, I seriously, seriously thought that having read 'You Can Date Boys When You're Forty' would somehow inoculate me from laughing during my interview Dave Barry. I should have sold myself the Brooklyn Bridge while I was at it.
So, here's the deal. You will hear me, throughout this interview trying, almost always without success, to avoid laughing. My attempts might themselves be laughable, were their humor not dwarfed by Barry's genial ease. I've spoken with Barry before about5 his fiction. but this was the first time we got to speak about his essays, which he can just reel off again and again, every time making you laugh.
We did get to talk a bit about how he does what he does, which is sort of like a live autopsy. Barry is a skilled enough patient / doctor in this equation that we did in one very memorable exchange get to the heart of his skills with language. Barry brings a lot of pertinent experience to the table, and not from a source you'd necessarily expect.

COIMBATORE: With the Common Entrance Test getting scrapped and more students aspiring for medicine and engineering, one would have thought agriculture-related courses would not have takers.
But the five-day counselling for undergraduate courses, which got over at the Tamil Nadu Agricultural University here, tells a different story.
"The demand this year has been very good, compared with the last few years. Nearly 3,500 candidates have applied for an undergraduate degree (12 disciplines). The university short-listed 1,374 candidates based on the cut-off marks in Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and Biology in the Plus Two examinations. The highest was 197 out of 200," says K. Vanangamudi, Dean (Agriculture).
Those with cut-off marks of 197-180.75 were called for the counselling on the first day.
With such a high cut-off, candidates could have easily gone for medicine, but it is refreshing to see them opt for agriculture courses, both B.Sc. and B. Tech, says Dr. Vanangamudi.
The university plans to admit 1,084 students. In the first phase of counselling, nearly 870 candidates were admitted to the course and college (constituent college of the TNAU) of their choice.
"A single window system was followed for admission. Students were given a free hand to select the course and college. Those who have selected the course and wish to drop out can do so by July 5. The male-female ratio is 40-60,"says the Dean.
The main reason is the high demand for the courses and the competency of the university. The other is scrapping of the entrance test, he says.

U.N. experts monitoring the partial lifting of an arms embargo on Somalia are accusing the government of "high level and systematic abuses" which have allowed weapons and ammunition to beef up its security forces to get into the hands of clan leaders, warlords and al-Shabab militants.
The experts recommended that the U.N. Security Council re-impose a full arms embargo when the 12-month partial suspension ends in early March. As a possible alternative, it said the government must be subject to enhanced notification and reporting requirements for arms deliveries, "if not a partial tightening".
A 13-page letter from the experts monitoring sanctions against Somalia and Eritrea, obtained on Friday by the Associated Press, details a number of incidents of weapons being diverted from the government including one to an al-Shabab leader.

NDF skips rites to allow relief for 'Pablo' survivors
DAVAO CITY—The National Democratic Front (NDF) has decided to forego its annual celebration of the founding anniversary of the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) on Wednesday in solidarity with those affected by Typhoon "Pablo" that has so far killed more than 1,000 people.
Jorge Madlos, alias "Ka Oris," NDF spokesperson, has assured the relief organizations of safety for their volunteers in hinterland villages devastated by the typhoon.
"They don't have to be afraid. They are free to go there," Madlos told the Inquirer by phone on Wednesday. He said a lot of residents still have not received assistance from either private or government organizations 23 days after the typhoon devastated the Davao Oriental and Compostela Valley provinces.
"They (relief volunteers) can be assured that no untoward incident will happen to them, provided they don't bring military troops with them," Madlos said, adding that they have instructed their comrades to facilitate those who wish to go to affected villages for relief distribution.
The rebels have also declared a 27-day ceasefire from Dec. 20, 2012, to Jan. 15, 2013. "We also told our forces not to launch any tactical offensive," Madlos said.
He said Pablo created "a crisis so great" in the two provinces that thousands of families are now without livelihood. "So we really need to help each other," he said.
"We see helicopters dropping off relief goods but still there are lots of affected families who were not able to receive any," he said.
Madlos said several of their comrades suffered injuries during the onslaught of the typhoon but no casualties from their ranks were reported. He said they also went out to help villagers but could only do so much with their limited resources.
In Lucena City, CPP on Tuesday condemned the Armed Forces of the Philippines for violating the holiday truce with the alleged illegal arrest and torture of three suspected New People's Army (NPA) rebels and two others in Quezon.
In a statement, CPP claimed that the three suspected NPA rebels were tortured and detained at the Mulanay police station jail while their two other companions were also tortured before they were freed.
"Their faces and bodies bore clear signs of torture. They are clearly psychologically traumatized," said CPP, referring to their now jailed comrades.
The CPP also claimed that the arrest and supposed torture of Dennis Quidor of Macalelon town, Eliseo Lopez of San Francisco town and a 17-year-old male from San Andres town were carried out in violation of the Yuletide truce.
Lt. Col. Dennis Perez, commander of the Army's 74th Infantry Battalion based in Mulanay, scoffed at the rebels' allegation, saying there are medical certificates to attest to the contrary. "They were not harmed, much more tortured," Perez said over the phone.
He said the arrest of the three was "already an accomplishment on our part; we will not jeopardize its merit by torturing them."
He also refuted the CPP accusation. "Arresting criminals with warrants of arrest was not covered by the ceasefire. When the rebels evaded the first checkpoint, our men and the police took the necessary precautions to arrest them because of the many killings in the area," Perez argued.
Perez cited the recent admissions of NPA in Quezon that they were responsible for the recent executions of three supposed military spies in Tagkawayan town. "The arrested persons were really NPA, as attested by local officials and their extortion victims," Perez said.
On Sunday, Col. Generoso Bolina, spokesperson of the AFP Southern Luzon Command here, said three suspected rebels and their two drivers were arrested by a combined team of Army soldiers and local police in Mulanay shortly before midnight on Friday.
The suspected rebels were arrested while traveling aboard two motorcycles-for-hire. The drivers were later released by the government forces. Dennis Jay Santos, Inquirer Mindanao and Delfin T. Mallari Jr., Inquirer Southern Luzon

Our cat likes this
posted 7 years ago
We use this for our cat. We have to feed him in a different area than the dogs and this really comes in handy. We got it at Walmart and it wasn't expensive. We have had it for quite a while and it has held up well. It comes apart and is very easy to clean. It is also easy to fill, my grandaughters like to fill it for us.
Pros: works great
Cons: none

We use an Auto feeder at home and it's great! Our dogs can eat when they are hungry and don't have to wait until we get home.
But would not use one in a shelter due to the fact that it attracts mice and rats.
Pros: Great for home use
Cons: not a good idea for shelters

Auto Pet Feeder

Pros: This is an automatic, inexpensive 4 compartment feeder ($28 on Amazon). We bought it as an interim solution to help monitor our cats weight weight (he had figured out how to get more food out of the old feeder). It works well. Good feeder, when you are going away for a day or two.
Cons: Limited capacity. When the battery is low, it may start at the wrong time 2-3 times before displaying the Bat low warning.
Pros: Automatic, Easy to Clean, Cat-Proof
Cons: Limited capacity

Giving some hope to the worried parents, rebels in Iraq have promised safe passage to a group of Keralite nurses lodged by them in Mosul, according to family members of one of the nurses. One of the nurses in the group, Sumi, called her family at Puthankurisu in Ernakulam district to convey this information.
According to Sumi's brother Jinto, the rebels told the nurses this afternoon to get ready to move to the airport. They, however, did not specify to which airport they are going to be taken for being flown out of the strife-torn country, Jinto said. Jinto said his sister told him that they were lodged in an old building in Mosul last night after they were moved in a vehicle from Tikrit where they were working.
When they reached the place, there was no electricity in the building and were accommodated in a dark hall. Later, they were moved to an air conditioned hall and provided some food and water. Family members of another nurse said, "My daughter called me around 10.45 last night and said the group had been accommodated in a hall in Mosul.
It appears to be part of a hospital. She could not speak more since the charge of her mobile phone was low. She told me not to panic if she did not call home frequently as she was not sure if there would be a facility to get the phone charged."

The ECI's Bibi-Obama Robocalls Are Kind of Sad
And everything that's wrong with the American discourse on Israel
While a large part of the country was preparing for a devastating hurricane, people in swing states like Virginia, Ohio, and Wisconsin were receiving slightly creepy and laughably misleading robocalls pit out by the Emergency Committee for Israel.
As of yesterday, there had been two robocalls, which sought to portray President Obama as the candidate who either (1) believes Jerusalem is a settlement or (2) is ideologically committed to allowing Iran to get a nuclear weapon. The first deception came when with the robocall's ID, which led callers to think they were being personally phoned by ECI Founder Bill Kristol–the veritable dream scenario for maybe 14% of American Jews. But when callers actually answered there were treated to recordings of a fake "debate" that never actually took place between President Obama and Prime Minister Netanyahu, using spliced quotes and half-uttered sentences.
The first "debate" was about the status of Jerusalem. Ron Kampeas did the good work of including the links to the sources of the actually statements by both Obama and Netanyahu, which were quotes from speeches given three years apart from each other. Absent of their context, it almost (in a janky xerox-of-a-xerox kind of way) sounds as if the two men are talking about the same issue, but as the links show, they are not.
DEBATE 'MODERATOR': Welcome to the first debate between Barack Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Mr. President, we'll start with you.
OBAMA: I've made it clear that the United States respects the sovereignty of the Islamic Republic of Iran and is not interfering with Iran's affairs.
"MODERATOR": Mr. President, thank you. Mr. Prime Minister, your response.
NETANYAHU: The Jewish state will not allow those who seek our destruction to possess the means to achieve that goal. A nuclear armed Iran must be stopped.
"MODERATOR": Mr President, your rebuttal.
OBAMA: Obviously there are some differences between us.
ECI: Friends, Americans and Israel cannot afford four more years of Barack Obama. This call was paid for by the Emergency Committee for Israel because your vote will make the difference in this election.
Here is the recording of the second call:
Both Kampeas and Dave Weigel debunk the content of the calls, rightly contending that these distortions would probably not fool anyone with a working knowledge of the actual issues. But that wasn't the point. The desired effect is to create hysteria among voters who may not exactly know what's going on and mislead them into thinking that President Obama's positions are not what nearly four years of his policy have reflected. The result is kind of sad.
It's this season for cheap and dirty politics, yes, but this is actually a metaphor for what's wrong with the conversation happening about Israel in American politics right now. It is a triumph that the issues surrounding Israel's strength and security enjoy such widespread support among American leaders. But with efforts like these robocalls in mind, the farther away that Americans are from understanding what's really driving the discourse on crucial issues like Jerusalem (by the way, here's George W. Bush calling for 1967 borders) and Iran's nuclear program (here's a sample of Obama's record on Iran), the greater the difficulty there will be in forging the necessary bipartisan support required to honestly confront these issues in the future, no matter who wins on Tuesday.
There are certainly things that voters could fault President Obama on with regard to the Middle East. But rather than make substantive points, the ECI seems to prefer to act as if Americans are stupid. It doesn't seem like an exaggeration to say that provoking this hysteria hurts Israel in the long run.

A British judge today ordered WikiLeaks' founder Julian Assange held without bail today on four charges related to a Swedish sex crimes investigation. Whether Assange will be held to account for the release of confidential U.S. documents is yet to be seen.
Assange, an Australian hacker, drew the ire of the United States and some in the international community after his organizaton released over 250,000 secret U.S. diplomatic cables. Some of them were embarrassing to U.S. and foreign officials; others related to sensitive sites vital to America's national security.
Watch "World News with Diane Sawyer" for more on this story tonight on ABC.
The Magistrate's Court judge in London ordered him held on the international arrest warrant, saying that Assange has the means and the cause to fail to surrender. The decision prompted an audible gasp in the courtroom. Assange's lawyers had expressed confidence that he would be granted bail, even offering conditions including wearing an electronic tag.
Seated in the court's dock enclosed in thick glass, a smiling Assange waved to his supporters in the gallery, the first time he has appeared in public in 31 days. Assange was hesitant to reveal his address, publicly offering only an address in Victoria, Australia. Assange's lawyers told the judge that he will provide a U.K. address, but only in private for his safety and privacy.
Assange listened as prosecutors read charges, detailing the accusations from two Swedish women that include rape, sexual molestation and coercion.
One woman, identified as Miss A, claims that on Aug. 14, Assange "forcibly parted her legs, preventing her from moving," "then had intercourse without a condom" despite her protests. On Aug 18, he allegedly coerced her again.
A second woman, labeled Miss W, said on Aug. 17 that Assange had unprotected sex with her while she was asleep.
Assange has denied the sex crimes charges and after his arrest, Assange's lawyer, Mark Stephens, told ABC News Assange is ready "to vindicate himself and clear his good name."
Assange, 39, told the judge he would fight extradition to Sweden. British legal experts tell ABC News that what would normally be a straightforward extradition under British law could be complicated by the prospect of an eventual extradition to the U.S. from Sweden to face charges related to WikiLeaks.
Supporters, including heiress Jemima Khan and writer John Pilger, had offered to post bond of $150,000 but the judge brushed that aside.
Some in the courtroom smiled as the judge said the case is "not about Wikipedia," failing to correct his mistake. "It's about serious sexual offenses on three separate occasions, involving two separate victims," the judge said. "Extremely serious allegations."
Unless lawyers work out an agreement behind closed doors, Assange will next appear in court on Dec. 14 to argue again for release on bail.
Today's arrest will not stop the release of documents through WikiLeaks, a spokesman for the organization said.
"WikiLeaks is operational. We are continuing on the same track as laid out before," Kristinn Hrafnsson, spokesman for the group, told The Associated Press. "Any development with regards to Julian Assange will not change the plans we have with regards to the releases today and in the coming days."

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Monday sought to counter the charge of the former Union Communications Minister, Arun Shourie, that the party had not bothered to follow up on the 2G spectrum scam though he had brought it to the notice of the party leaders.
Without making reference to Mr. Shourie's allegation, the party forwarded a brief note of points made by Arun Jaitley, Leader of the Opposition (Rajya Sabha), while intervening in a debate on the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology on July 23.
TV interview
In an interview to a television channel last week, Mr. Shourie said the BJP was not interested in following up on the scam and only the AIADMK members were pursuing it.
"The BJP knows what I knew…I don't want to talk about BJP's internal meeting but it is certainly my assessment that they were not interested in following up on these things," he told the channel.
"We've been raising it"
In an informal interaction with journalists, a spokesperson of the BJP refused to be drawn into the remarks made by Mr. Shourie but said, "We have been raising the subject right from day one."
Answering a question in his interview, Mr. Shourie had said, "I'm not going to make it a BJP vs Arun Shourie business. But it is evident. And many of these people have had these very chaps as their clients, both on Kapil Sibal's side and other sides."
Serious doubts
In his Rajya Sabha speech, Mr. Jaitley had said that the methodology of spectrum allocation to private players raised serious doubts with regard to the honesty and fairness of the process.
The BJP leader had said that three out of the nine awardees of the licences immediately utilised the 74 per cent FDI policy of the government and found buyers/collaborators from the international market.
"The difference in the valuation awarded by the government to the private players and the value realised by the private players in each case has been minimum Rs.6,000 crore to Rs.7,000 crore. The nine licences collectively, along with spectrum, were thus allotted at an under-valuation, which exceeds Rs.60,000 crore."

Richard Justice - Ludwick happy to be living the dream with Reds
"[Ludwick] wasn't a surprise because he'd done it before," Reds manager Dusty Baker said. "If you've done it once, you can do it twice. The hardest thing is doing it the first time. He hadn't done it in a couple of years. Different ballparks psyched him out. He had a couple of down years."
After all the bouncing around, Ludwick felt like he'd found a home on many levels. He lobbied to stay with the Reds, and Jocketty signed him to a two-year, $15-million extension.
"I told Walt I'd take less money to stay here," Ludwick said. "I thank the Lord [that Jocketty] wanted me back."
This is from that Justice article OBM posted. I just wanted to point out how shocked I was seeing ANYBODY praise Brook Jacoby. Good for both of them.Quote:
Jocketty and the Reds got everything they could have hoped for, and then some. Thanks to plenty of help from Reds hitting coach Brook Jacoby, Ludwick rediscovered both his swing and his confidence and produced a 26-homer, 28-double, .877-OPS season.
"I think I just got back to hitting the ball the other way better," Ludwick said. "I think it was all mental. You see that big right-center gap in Petco [Park], and that's my best bolt. I just got so pull dominant. Me and Jacoby got together, and he looked at some film and said, `We've got to get you back grooving [the other] way.' He said, `I don't mind if you pull the ball, but we've got to have your approach to where you can hit the ball [the other] way.' We did it."
GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- Aroldis Chapman burst through the doors of the Cincinnati Reds' clubhouse into a bright sunny Saturday afternoon. He had an ice pack on his left shoulder and his interpreter, Reds assistant athletic trainer Tomas Vera, by his side.
Chapman was squinting ever so slightly, but that might have been the product of a hazy future rather than a high desert sky.
"Chapman has the chance to be a top-flight starter," general manager Walt Jocketty said. "I always wanted to have a left-hander in the rotation."
Chapman threw mostly fastballs as a closer, mixing in an occasional slider. He has worked on his changeup in the offseason, knowing he'll need another pitch if he starts.
"He didn't throw the changeup too much, but it is better than his slider," Jocketty said. "He is a great athlete. You ought to see him hit. He is one of the fastest runners on the team.
Several articles posted on the Reds at ESPN today. Crasnick does like reporting on the Reds I'll give him that.Quote:
The general consensus is that Rolen wants to slide into retirement with a minimum of hoopla or emotion. But Jocketty wouldn't rule out the possibility that Rolen would get the itch and decide he wants to play again.
"He told me he's at a place right now where he's really enjoying the time with his family and he wasn't ready to make the commitment to come in," Jocketty said. "He apologized for dragging it out so long. I told him, 'We're prepared either way. If you come in, great. If you don't, we'll make adjustments.' We'll just have to see where we are at that point.'
Better than his slider? I cannot wait to see all these mystery pitches unveiled.Quote:
"He didn't throw the changeup too much, but it is better than his slider," Jocketty said. "He is a great athlete. You ought to see him hit. He is one of the fastest runners on the team."
• Three Venezuelan players who have been absent because of visa issues -- infielder Henry Rodriguez, outfielder Yorman Rodriguez, and lefty pitcher Ismael Guillon -- were expected to arrive in Arizona on Sunday.
• Among the pitchers who threw live batting practice on Sunday were J.J. Hoover, Tony Cingrani, Daniel Corcino, Clay Hensley, Pedro Villarreal and Armando Galarraga.
John Fay has video of Chapman's pitching session today.
Mark Sheldon - Hannahan already endears himself to teammates
Back at the ballpark, Hannahan is now grateful to be with his new team and a new set of teammates. In December, he signed a two-year, $4 million contract to be a left-handed bat off of the bench and a backup third baseman. The 33-year-old hit .244 with four home runs and 29 RBIs in 105 games last season.
"It's a team that's built to win," Hannahan said of the Reds. "They have all the tools a team needs to not only make it to the postseason, but get to a World Series. That was very attractive for me."
Mark Sheldon - Hamilton using spring to ease into outfield switch
"It's just a matter of playing the games," Davis said. "Learning how to play the hitters, learning which guys can drive the ball to center field, which guys can't and that just comes with game experience. His throwing is getting a lot better. At shortstop, everything was quick and short. In the outfield, you have longer throws and have to stretch it out a little more.
"The thing that separates Billy from a lot of people is he's a student of the game. He has so much pride that he doesn't like to embarrass himself. You can tell him something once, maybe twice, and it's like a recorder in his brain. He can turn around and implement what you told him to do very quickly. That's not the case with all youngsters
From Mark Sheldon:
Here is the list of Reds probable starters for the first several days. Youll notice something different, especially the first few days:
Friday vs. CLE: Tony Cingrani
Saturday vs CLE: Alfredo Simon
Sunday vs. CLE: Sam LeCure
Monday vs. MIL: Armando Galarraga
Tuesday vs. SD: Homer Bailey
Weds. vs ARI: Johnny Cueto
Thurs split squad: Mike Leake and Aroldis Chapman
March 1 vs. KC: Mat Latos
March 2 vs. CWS: Bronson Arroyo
John Fay - Zack Cozart: 'Defense for me is first'
Cozart will be affected by the Choo trade. With Choo in the leadoff spot, Brandon Phillips is going to hit second. That means Cozart will be in the seventh spot. Cozart started 131 games last year. He was in the leadoff spot 101, batted second 27 times and was not in the No. 7 spot once.
"In the seventh hole, he's going to see more breaking balls, less fastballs," Baker said. "When he hit in front of Joey, there were times when they didn't want to throw him a fastball but did.

Money Rock
From Nookipedia, the Animal Crossing wiki
Money rocks, or Bell rocks, are rocks that spurt Bells when hit with a shovel or an axe. Every day, one of the rocks in the player's town will turn into a money rock and can be hit repeatedly for increasing amounts of money. The allotted time window for a hit to produce money decreases after each hit. After all the money has been collected, the money rock will go back to being a normal rock. In all games, every bag spouted after the fourth consecutive bag/coin will play the '1-Up' noise from the Mario series.
The amount of money the rock gives varies from game to game and depends on how fast it is hit, the level of yellow Feng Shui, and, in Animal Crossing: City Folk, what it is hit with. Any obstacle adjacent to the money rock will also prevent bags from spawning there. For towns with more than one player, each player gets the money rock from separate random rocks.
In Animal Crossing[edit]
In Animal Crossing, the rock will spurt out up to 23,300 Bells as three sacks of 100, three sacks of 1,000, and two sacks of 10,000. Having high levels of any (not just yellow) feng shui will increase the chance of more money spouting from the rock. Also, the money rock glows red when hit and gradually fades to gray, giving a visual timer as it will continue to spout money for as long as the rock is red. In later versions the rock simply remains gray.
Having a good money fortune from Katrina will dramatically increase the amount of money received from the money rock.
The amount of money that can be collected from money rocks in a year is 4,867,800 bells (4,867,800 in a leap year).
In Wild World[edit]
In Animal Crossing: Wild World, the rock in the player's town will release up to 8,500 Bells as sacks of 100, 200, 400, 800, 1,000, 2,000, 4,000 Bells, in that order. High levels of yellow feng shui may allow for an additional 8,000 Bell bag to appear.
The amount of money that can be collected from money rocks in a year is 3,102,500 bells (3,111,000 in a leap year).
In City Folk[edit]
In Animal Crossing: City Folk, the amount of money that comes out is different from past titles. The order goes: 100, 200, 300, 500, 1,000, 2,000 and finally 4,000. If the player uses a silver shovel (golden shovels do not work), one or more of the money bags may be worth double, with a signature noise and sparkle. This has a 10% chance of happening for each hit. It has been proven that high yellow feng shui (over 73 yellow feng shui count) means that an 8,000 Bells bag will appear if the rock is hit fast enough.
The maximum amount of money that can be collected from money rocks in a year is 8,796,500 (8,820,600 in a leap year) while the minimum is 2,956,500 (2,964,600 in a leap year).
In New Leaf[edit]
In Animal Crossing: New Leaf, if the money rock is struck with an ordinary shovel, players can receive up to 16,100 Bells, with almost no chance of receiving ore. With the silver or golden shovel, players can receive up to 32,000 Bells and there is a rare chance of a bunch of ore appearing instead of the daily money. Ore is sold for a minimum of 2,000 bells each in Re-Tail.
The amount of money that can be collected from money rocks in a year is 5,876,500 (5,892,600 in a leap year).
After every hit against the rock, the player will rebound, causing the player to lose time and making it impossible to collect all of the potential money sacks. To prevent this, players can dig holes behind themselves to create a wall to prevent getting knocked back too far. Examples are shown below.
Natural features, such as trees and cliffs, if close enough, can also be used to prevent kickback, taking place of one or more holes.

43 year old woman | Westlake, OH, USA | Seeking men 40-46 within 25 miles
Active within 24 hours
We're only on this merry-go-round once. Let's ride it together!
I guess like many of you, I became involved with, and passionate about, my career in my 20's and 30's. And, each year passed quickly without putting marriage as a priority. Promotions became a focus more than a wedding ring. I have enjoyed a wonderful career thus far. It has allowed me to travel internationally. I have grown from each experience and I have seen so many amazing things and have met wonderful people along the way. My shift in priorities has led me to trying something like this since I'm not out nightly looking for men. I guess over the years I have met many "prospective husbands", but I never stood still long enough to focus on a serious relationship. I am willing, able and interested in looking for a great mate now. And, I am making that a priority. I have been told that I am kind, giving/generous, thoughtful, compassionate, witty, intelligent, romantic, highly-energetic, creative, fun, honest (to a fault at times), determined, and an entrepreneur at heart. I am adventurous and always looking for something new to try. I am seeking the same/similar attributes in a man. A man who is truly upfront and honest, considerate, romantic, intelligent, likes to have fun, but is also passionate about his career is of interest to me. I live by the "work hard, play hard" philosophy and I seek the same in a man. I am a morning person and I love a guy who loves to focus on his career during the week and then is able and ready to "bring it" on the weekends and jump into some fun activities. If you are only into watching the Browns or other sports--you probably wouldn't be a match for me. I'm looking for a man who is cultured and well-rounded and has interests outside of just sports (sports are great and fine if that is an interest--but, I'd like someone who is into more than just watching sports). A man who is well-traveled and cultured and knows about fine dining and social etiquette, but that can also laugh at himself when being so serious...that is what turns me on. Not sure that it makes sense to anyone though without explaining it in person. Anyway, if this makes sense to you and it interests you, I'd love to hear from you. I look forward to an intellectually-stimulating conversation with a good dose of sense of humor when we chat! :)

I love to travel so I would have to say Europe--London, Paris, Milan, Berlin and many more hot spots. Lots of great tropical spots are favorites as well. Locally, I would say Crop, Johnny's, Lola's and some spots in Ohio City & Tremont.

Well, I have a beautiful 4 year-old son so I am enjoying teaching him the fundamentals in life. It is amazing what a child can teach you about the world and about yourself. Before Logan was born, my career is all that really mattered to me.
I find fun in just about everything. I enjoy trying new adventures. I love to travel. I love to stretch and grow. I want to get back into some sports I enjoy--golf, tennis. I love doing anything centered around my son, as well--that's always fun!
Honestly? It was last night and it was, "I love you forever, I'll like you for always". I do lots of children's books! :) As far as my own reading? I read lots of inspiring books about business. Always love a good business book!

Aereo ends service after high court ruling
"The spectrum that the broadcasters use to transmit over the air programming belongs to the American public and we believe you should have the right to access that live programming whether your antenna sits on the roof of your home, on top of your television or in the cloud."
The Supreme Court dealt Aereo, backed by Barry Diller, a major setback on Wednesday in ruling that the television-over-the-Internet service operates much like a cable TV company. As a result, the service violates copyright law unless Aereo pays broadcasters licensing fees for offering TV stations to customers' tablets, phones and other gadgets.
But although the Supreme Court expressed its thinking on the law, it's the U.S. District Court in New York that must issue a preliminary injunction stopping the service, as requested by broadcasters.

1. Could the silencers damaged by this?
2. Should I remove the silencers and clean or am I going to have to wait until the dirt burned?
If mine came with instructions I didn't read them, and I didn't clean them before installation. I'm sure the smoke is just junk from the manufacturing process burning off. Nothing to worry about.

Irottko Nature Park (Hungary)
With its many hiking, walking and biking trails, the Írottkő offers visitors unsurpassed contact with nature. The Blue Tour, Hungary's most important and oldest hiker's movement dating back almost 120 years ago, starts on the top of Írottkő Mountain and winds its way through some of the most breath-taking sceneries in the park.
For less-extreme alpine lovers, there are many study trails offering shorter hikes through detailed rock formation and flower zones. The Stichwort study trail, which curves its way through some amazing floral areas on Koszeg Mountain, is a popular choice amongst nature lovers.
For those wishing to see the region by bicycle, there is a regional cycling center at Rowling Lake that rents bikes daily.
What makes the Írottkő Nature Park Special?
The sense of inner peace that Írottkő inflicts on its visitors is memorable. The Seven Springs located close to the Austrian border provide a relaxation experience like no other. The hot springs were named after the seven tribes that founded Hungary in the 9th century. The structure that houses the springs was built in 1896 to commemorate Hungary's millennium.
A new program called the Wine Route of Koszeg was formed in 2004 to give tourists an understanding of the time and energy dedicated to producing some of the country's unique wines. Other products such as honey cakes, goat cheese and apple products are produced in the region and are tasty delights loved by visitors. The newly-built Herb and Spice Garden opened its doors in 2005 and it focuses on all-natural products.
With many links to the past, the Írottkő Nature Park's secured place in Hungary's rich history is a priority. Eco-friendly practices in agriculture, construction and forestry have been at the forefront of local municipalities for some time now.
Measures to renovate the springs in environmentally friendly manners have been implemented with help coming from volunteers. There are also yearly cleaning movements that rid the park of waste deposits and other undesirables.
What to look for in:
- Spring: The Book of New Wines Festival on St. Georg's Day
- Summer: Alpine hikers making their way to the top of Írottkő Mountain
- Fall: Magnificent fall foliage on the mountain sides
- Winter: Ski jumpers soaring countless meters in the air
Highlights of the Írottkő Nature Park:
- Spend a day relishing at the Gastronomic Festival
- Unleash your stress while relaxing at a hot spring resort
- Go horseback riding on long, quiet trails

Priyanka Chopra recently visited the sets of Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa to promote her upcoming film Mary Kom. She invited the udges Madhuri Dixit Nene, Karan Johar and Remo D'Souza to throw a few punches. Karan Tacker who declared that he would do anything for Priyanka, was used as the punching bag! The judges then took turns in boxing Karan.
KJo was the first to go. PC told him that every boxer thinks of something before throwing a punch and that he must have thought of the Mary Kom producer before he boxed! For the uninitiated, the producer is none other than Sanjay Leela Bhansali. Once good friends, Karan and Sanjay are currently not on talking terms. Says a source from the sets, "As soon as Priyanka said this to Karan, there was pin drop silence on the sets. When Madhuri threw a punch, PC played safe and said the diva must have thought of her husband Sriram Nene for being unromantic that day. And Remo, she said, must have been thinking Manish Paul because the two have a war going on!

Ravi Kumar of Indian Air Force made the national air rifle team for the sixth Asian Air Gun shooting championship to be held in Tehran, Iran, from October 20 to 25, on the weight of his victories in the Kumar Surendra Singh and the Sardar Sajjan Singh Sethi Masters competitions recently.
He kept up the good work in the two selection trials as well to be selected in the second place behind the reigning Asian champion Abhinav Bindra.
Sanjeev Rajput pushed all the other air rifle specialists aside to make the team. Gagan Narang had stayed away owing to a leg injury.
The championship — originally restricted to 10m events — will also feature the 25m and 50m pistol and rifle competitions.
Harpreet Singh, who handed a rare defeat to Olympic silver medallist Vijay Kumar in the rapid fire pistol in one of the trials, failed to secure a berth in the event, but managed to find a place in standard pistol.
In women's air pistol, Heena Sidhu, Shweta Chaudhary and Annu Raj Singh made the cut, while Malaika Goel, who had the second best average, was pushed to the junior team.
There will also be competition at the youth level, giving the youngsters a good exposure.
Harveen Srao and Albha Oberoi missed out.
In women's air rifle, the young Anjum Moudgil was pushed to the junior squad, despite securing a top-3 average among the women.
P.N. Prakash, the bronze medallist in the World Cup in Korea who could not compete anywhere after the Munich World Cup owing to ill health, was drafted into both the air pistol and free pistol teams.

Van Praagh said his otherworldly connections are something like long-distance calls--just dial 1--but he admitted he wasn't always such a smooth operator. He worked at William Morris "pulling staples out of contracts in the basement," while dreaming not of dialing deadheads, but of writing sitcoms. Everything changed when a medium told him he has a gift of spirit, and he's been pretty much gabbing to heaven ever since. Now he claims he has a three-year waiting list--screw sitcoms--and is tapping into afterlife obsessions so well that I suggested he work in tandem with Dr.Kevorkian, who can off 'em, after which Van Praagh can get 'em on the line.
His most successful star trips? He reached Marilyn Monroe, who said, "I wish they'd all pay homage to themselves instead of me." He got Audrey Meadows in touch with Jackie Gleason, who told her, "Get it right"--meaning Meadows's book should correct the myth that he was an alcoholic. And while Van Praagh says Barry Manilow wanted to contact Judy Garland--quelle surprise--"I told him, 'What makes you think Judy's around you?' You have to have a link with that person." That must be why I can't seem to get my agent on the phone.
Over at Pieces--"where every year is 1979"--brilliant impressionist Jimmy James's act last Wednesday seemed to reach every deceased diva we've longed to hear from, on a big, fab conference call. "So many people have died this year--lots of new material for me," said Jimmy, sardonically. He did a dead-on Tammy Wynette, Karen Carpenter, Judy, Billie, and even a flawless Sonny and Cher, but that last one came only after an assurance that Ms. Sarkisian Bono Allman Whatever will never die. "Long after the nuclear holocaust," he cracked, "there will be two things left--cockroaches and Cher." Doesn't quite have the ring of Sonny and Cher.
Finally, Jocelyne Wildenstein and I--now that has a ring to it--commingled at Life's "Get a Life" party the next night, where I presented the beleaguered, but very alive fabulosity with a NightLIFE Achievement Award in lieu of cash or freedom. Before a crowd consisting only of photographers, I read a dazzling tribute poem to Wildenstein ("Your husband's a pig/But your celebrity's so big . . . "), as she--looking thrilled (I think)--took the plaque with one hand and slipped me her purse with the other. A fair exchange--and hey, it matches my face!

It will establish India's capability to intercept Pakistan's Hatf and Ghauri missiles
CHENNAI: A missile which will waylay and destroy an incoming ballistic "enemy" at an altitude of about 80 km will be launched off the coast of Orissa later this week.
This "crucial test" will seek to prove the efficacy of a host of new technologies, said officials in the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), which is conducting it. They described it as "a major test to establish a ballistic missile defence [BMD] shield as part of the network-centric warfare." This is the third time an interceptor missile test is being conducted under the BMD shield that India seeks to establish.
The launch will feature two missiles. The "enemy" missile will be a modified version of Dhanush, a surface-to-surface missile. It will take off from a naval ship in the Bay of Bengal and simulate the terminal phase of the flight of a ballistic missile with a range of 1,500 km, similar to Pakistan's Ghauri. As it zeroes in on the Wheeler Island, off Damra village on the Orissa coast, a Prithvi Air Defence (PAD) missile will lift off from the Wheeler Island, intercept the incoming "enemy" missile at an altitude of 70-80 km in the last one second and a half of its flight and pulverise it.
The interceptor PAD missile will use, for the first time, the gimballed directional warhead. It has so far been used only in the U.S. and Russia. When the directional warhead fragments in 360 degrees all round, the target missile coming in from only one direction is sure to be blown up. "Ground tests have been done on the directional warhead. In flight, it will be done for the first time. This is a new thing," the DRDO officials said.
A directional warhead weighs less than 30 kg but its lethality is equivalent to a 150-kg warhead. The PAD would also feature "trajectory optimisation" to enable interception at not only a higher altitude of 80 or 85 km but also at 45 km. It could engage missiles with a range of 300 to 1,500 km.
"The distinct advantage" of intercepting a missile at a higher altitude of 80 km is that the debris will take longer to fall through the atmosphere before it hits the ground and hence will become cinders because of the re-entry of heat, the DRDO officials said. In a typical war scenario, this would reduce the effect of any fallout of nuclear debris and the risk associated with radiation.
The first interceptor missile test, which took place on November 27, 2006, waylaid an incoming ballistic missile in the exo-atmosphere at 48-km altitude. The second test took place on December 6, 2007 against a target missile at 15-km altitude in endo-atmosphere. The third test would be part of India's plan to deploy a two-layered BMD system in the coming years.
In terms of strategic importance, the test would establish India's capability to intercept Pakistan's Hatf and Ghauri missiles.
