So thankful!

I have so many things to be thankful for right now:
Last week my son was diagnosed as lactose intolerant. The poor kid has been sick for years and our old doctor just ignored my concerns. We found a new doctor who is really into nutrition. She made the diagnosis, I cut out all the dairy from his diet, and he is feeling a ton better. I have even lost a few pounds since I have also cut out dairy!
My husband was technically "saved" years ago but has not been walking with Christ. Well that has changed and he has grown so much in the last couple of weeks. He has stepped up as the leader of this family and I couldn't be happier. Well except that he has cut my book budget and spending
But all to God's glory!
There's another significant area of change in my life that I can't say too much about yet. There's a few people I need to talk to face to face before I go public with it. Anyway, it was a scary change but I took a step of faith and it has resulted in immediate benefits to my family. This change has helped with my hubby's spiritual step and I think my daughter will be heading in the same direction.
I still have struggles but I'm beginning to look at them in a new light. They're truly minor in comparison to what some struggle with. For way too long, I would feel so much guilt over these struggles (sins) that i let them keep me away from God. Now I have turned my focus to God. He knows where I'm at and He will fix those things, in His own timing. He must have other things in mind for me right now.
I am very thankful for the opportunity to discuss this here on SP. I love having a place to write where i don't have to worry about judgement. I stayed away from SP for awhile because a bunch of people I know have recently joined. But I realized that those people don't really give me the time of day anyway, so they're not even reading these posts. There is one person who I know personally, who does read these posts but she is probably one of the nicest, most sincere, authentic people I know. She doesn't judge or condemn. I am very lucky that God introduced us because she has had a HUGE impact on my life and she's the reason I found SP in the first place.

Glad that you found out about the dairy! I know that a lot of doctor's are NOT fans of dairy, saying that baby calves only drink it when young and then stop, so why would we continue to drink it... I haven't totally given it up, but I do use Almond milk and have never really been a "milk" drinker anyways. I do like Greek yogurt, but I have read that a lot of people who are lactose intolerant and do ok with yogurt. Something about how it is processed...
That is awesome about your husband. And about the books... We have a great library
. I use it all the time! But there are certain books that you just want to OWN, write in, highlight, mark 'em up! So I totally understand! I try to use Amazon for used books, a little cheaper than Family Christian Store (even with their coupons). I thought of you the other day when I ran into Goodwill real quick to see what books they had. NOTHING GOOD. I told Adam that I am about done with that Goodwill, lol. I go through spurts of finding good deals, then months of NOTHING... Then I take a break for a while, come back to it and find something cool, and the cycle starts all over again, lol!
Ok, you've got me curious about what you are doing... But I am sure that if it is already making positive changes, it is something good.
I love that you are seeing struggles in God's light. He is the only one who truly understands what we go through. Cling to Him!
You are so sweet, so honored to have you as a friend

What I like the most about being in a relationship with God is that He is with me all the time helping me with challenges and scarey things!
God bless you!!!

Brian Mujati delivered a strong performance in Northampton's 23-13 win over Ulster while Toulouse beat Biarritz 27-20 in extra time in the last two European Cup quarter-finals on Sunday.
The former Springbok tighthead prop impressed with a good overall display up front for Northampton as they advanced to the European Cup semis for the third time. Ulster, who fielded five Saffas in scrumhalf Ruan Pienaar, No 8 Pedrie Wannenburg, flanker Robbie Diack, lock Johann Muller and tighthead prop BJ Botha, weren't able to score in the second half as they surrendered a 13-10 half-time lead.
Wing Andrew Timble's try and flyhalf Ian Humphrey's boot secured Ulster's three-point advantage at the break, but scrumhalf Lee Dickson's 54th-minute converted try proved to be the deciding score in Northampton's triumph in Milton Keynes.
In San Sebastian, Toulouse survived a late fight back from Biarritz. The former relinquished a 17-0 half-time lead in a rain-affected match as the teams were deadlocked at 20-20 after 80 minutes. Flanker Yannick Nyanga then scored the match-winning try in extra time to seal Toulouse's place in the final four.
Last year's champions were cruising in the first stanza as tries from fullback Cedric Heymans and wing Maxime Medard built a healthy lead. Biarritz scrumhalf Dimitri Yachvili spearheaded his team's comeback as he slotted five penalties, including a last-minute three-pointer that leveled matters and forced extra time. Yachvili, however, missed the conversion after wing Ilikena Bolakoro's try at the death which would've been enough for victory.
During the extra 20 minutes, Nyanga charged down a Yachvili clearance and crossed the chalk to seal the win for Toulouse.
European Cup quarter-final results:
Perpignan 29 Toulon 25
Leinster 17 Leicester 10
Northampton 23 Ulster 13
Toulouse 27 Biarritz 20
European Cup semi-final draw (30 April):

I'm a baseball fan (and a crappy old guy, too), but the game needs one big change to level the field: shared revenue from home TV contracts. That's the biggest advantage teams like NY and Boston have and it unbalances the entire system. Sure, they have the biggest markets and deserve a large share of it, but there would not be that kind of market if they just played each other or played inter-squad scrimmages - they require completion from outside, and those teams deserve part of the proceeds of their participation. Split all TV revenue in a fair manner (not necessarily 50/50, but not 100/0, either) and the game becomes a much more even competitive climate. Boston and New York won't like it, but tell them to go play by themselves if they won't share.

25 September 2013 15:38 [Source: ICIS news]
LONDON (ICIS)--Europe methyl methacrylate (MMA) producer Lucite International is targeting a €75/tonne ($101/tonne) price increase in fourth-quarter contracts because of ongoing feedstock cost pressure and a tightening supply/demand balance, a company source said on Wednesday.
"Feedstocks are a concern," the source said. "And we're seeing a real progressive tightening in the supply demand balance. We saw price rises through the third quarter, which we need to recover, and there is ongoing concern for feedstock costs through Q4."
The producer spoke of limited availability in Asia and rising cost pressure globally.
"There is very little in the way of imports," it added. "Demand is still okay for this time of year, so inventories are at a very low level."
The supplier said August demand had been good and said September offtake is slightly above levels seen in the same month in 2012.
European third-quarter MMA contract prices rose on tighter supply and steady demand.
The targeted price increase is effective from 1 October, the source said.
Lucite International's parent company, Mitsubishi Rayon Co, is a division of the Mitsubishi Chemical Holdings Corporation.

Okay so not exactly.
I enjoy Maps of War's few but very easy-on-the-eyes flash presentations. Of notable mention is the History of Religion and the Imperial History of the Middle East. However, I always thought to myself it would be a pipe dream to have a Korean map on the site. Judging by the lack of recent updates and the "©2006" at the bottom of the site, it looked like the site is down for the count. Well, I didn't find the exact same thing but pretty close. It's not perfect; it has some empty portions that plead for you to fast forward only to find yourself overwhelmed by twenty events happening all within a year or two. It's not the smoothest ride but for being eight years old, it's not a bad presentation. This animated map spanning from 200CE to 1000CE is awesome and deserves some credit. Sit back and enjoy.
TimeMap is an open-source software that functions very similar to the maps seen at Maps of War. The particular TimeMap being mentioned was created under a joint project by the University of Sydney and the National Institute of Korean History. I would love to get my hands on more if they exist. Also of note are other animated maps on the Chinese Dynasties, the Mongolian Empire and the like. Make sure to browse the sample gallery for more. To learn more about TimeMap, check out their pdf brochure on how to get the most out of the software.

When I'm giving advice to others
I take more than I can give
It's a birds eye view
What I want you to do or how to live
And I really don't have to suffer
I still do it anyway
I'm a diamond in the rough
or I'm a dirt clod in the clay
Guess what I lost my job
It's just my luck
Reveal you've always been the actor
With those puppy dog eyes
Well one of y'all is telling the truth
The other one is lies
It's someone else's fault so often
You getting rude, getting tall
It's a great big world
Darling your translations is just a little off
So what, you made a mistake
You try to hide the time
The time is life
Gets a little bit larger everyday
It grows
Gets out of control
I've been giving my advice to others
I try to tell them how to live
A little lying, a bit of truth
What I'd like for you to do and how to give
And I really didn't need to suffer
Still did it anyway
What a great big world
I better find some way to stay
Guess what you're getting old
Still gotta grow up

Thank you Mister Robinson!
The Good:
Everything. Seriously, if I could do a one word review that would be it. Robinson closes out his run on this book with one of the most explosive surprises in recent comic history. His run suffered for a few issues when it was announced he was leaving but he left this book with an absolutely jaw dropping ending. The art by Nicola Scott is flawless and the story's perspective is told from a variety of interesting viewpoints.
His run suffered for a bit when it was announced he was leaving but not this issue. The Wonders & the World Army's battle with Steppenwolf has left them battered, beaten and many of them left for dead. Just when it seems that Steppenwolf's victory is the worst thing that could happen it gets worse.....(GO READ THE ISSUE)

How to improve in pvp
Hey ive been pvping for the last months and i canot seem to kill anything and i never get a single heal. not sure how to use heals myself.
Oh im using a raven not sure if it helps
You need to use a Jenner with the XL engines and speed tank like Talogout Jones
Yeah it seems people aren't sharing their heals when I pvp nowadays.
You just need to get an engine with a higher +topspeed so you can get out of dodge quicker.
I suggest the new TF Omega XL Mk XII engine.
Speed tanking with an XL engine and a Jenner Usually works well however Ravens can be nice if its built properly.
Personally all you need to do is get into an Atlas and use 2xGauss Rifles and 2x AC2's set them to chain fire and let them go bah bah bah bah bah bah
oh and if you chain fire LRM's they will go woosh woosh woosh woosh woosh
MWO = Real PVP.......
LOL, heals in a Raven ?
Just hide and spot (TAG those bad guys), leave the fighting to the big guys.
If you need healz maybe your engines are overheating:P
I Bring the Grace of healing from my Guass Rifle.....
If you can't use heals, try training Logistics to 5 and getting in a Scimitar. For better killing of stuff, I would recommend maybe putting a few target painters on your ship and make sure the range and tracking characteristics of your turrets, as well as damage type, line up with your target's velocity and resists. :cool:

We say
Robin Hoods Bay, near Whitby in North Yorkshire, is an area steeped in romance and intrigue. Its very name is a mystery: there's nothing to link this place with the infamous green-clad hero of Sherwood Forest, but the name stands as an inexplicable suggestion of some legendary past.
What's certain is that this was smuggler country. And if you arrive at Hooks House Farm late on a clear evening under a full moon, you'll be able to picture the scenes from long ago, as the breathtaking sight of the wide sweep of the bay is laid out beneath you in the silvery moonlight... Step back a few centuries and you'd have spotted the shadowy figures as they emerged from small wooden boats and scuttled towards the shore clutching their contraband... Throughout the 18th century, locals crippled by high taxes turned to illegal imports to make money, receiving tobacco, brandy, rum, and silk from Europe. Gangs of smugglers used a network of underground passages and secret tunnels to deliver the stash inland, making a tidy profit in the process.
Even now, the charming town of Robin Hoods Bay has the feel of an age-old smugglers' den, with unfeasibly narrow streets and tight passageways – although these days you're more likely to stumble across a second-hand bookshop than hidden contraband. Ancient fishermen's cottages cling to the near-vertical slope as the cliff drops down to a little harbour at the water's edge. In addition to this older part of town there's a newer,Victorian enclave on the flat ground at the top. The well-ordered mansions are a world apart from the cobbled jumble below.
To shed some light on the town's past, the volunteer-run museum (01947 881252), reached via the narrow cobbled pathways and steps, has a model of a smuggler's house, showing how contraband could be concealed, as well as stories of shipwrecks and historic rescues.
Although the bay is picturesque, it doesn't have a beach to tempt sunbathers. The ground is dark and rocky – more suitable for bracing walks, rockpool explorations, and fossil hunting than lazing around. But the wide sweep of this bay is stunning. And at the friendly, family-run campsite at Hooks House Farm, high up on the hill above town, you couldn't wish for a better vantage point. The first-rate views really make this site: from its grassy field sloping gently down towards the sea you can watch the tide wash in and out over the whole sweep of shoreline, or gaze across a colourful patchwork of sheep- and cow-dotted fields, woods, rolling hills, and moors.
And if you're feeling energetic, the surrounding countryside (including the Yorkshire Moors) is perfectly placed for outdoor fun. The disused railway line that runs through here on its way from Scarborough to Whitby has been transformed into a popular walking and cycling path, and forms part of the wittily named Moor-to-Sea path, a longdistance route that provides up to four days of cycling. Robin Hoods Bay also marks the eastern end of the classic Coast to Coast Walk, while the Cleveland Way, a 110-mile National Trail between Helmsley and Filey around the North Yorkshire Moors, also makes its way along the coast here. If you're after shorter walks, try the half-mile stretch beginning with a footpath from the site down to the town, where you'll find several cosy pubs – all great venues for discussing the demise of smuggling as a lucrative career, the possibility of finding fossils on the beach, or even for speculating on how Robin Hoods Bay might have found its name.

fantastic farm camping
didnt book a site as thought we take a chance bein we were booked in a site on following nite in whitby so did this site on spec we were lucky they ad 2 spaces goin on pullin in to the space vacant the man was there with ramps laid down n ready to help with any thing we needed help with. this site was very clean fantastic showers with plenty of hot water as clean was the toilet area. these people were on site from 7ish till late sat by reception area for anybody needin assistants and always a smile weather u were off walkin trip use of facilities. for a workin farm u couldnt of ask for better cleaner site really cant wait till we go back. the village is something else its a step back in time well worth the hike down the very sloping hill. thks again hooks house farm we will be back.
Stayed here Sunday 6th July to Friday 11th July, lovely welcome from the owners. Gordon even pitched our caravan on to the pitch that was reserved for us. A fantastic, stunning view every morning of Robin Hoods Bay. A very relaxing time my husband & I had. Will definately go back again.
Wonderful Site
Fantastic view of Robin Hoods Bay coupled with clean facilities (there was constantly someone in there ensuring they were spotless every time. This has quickly became one of my favourite sites and will definitely return for repeat visits. The owners are very welcoming and there is a large playing field for the children. Only slight downside is the sloping field (small price to pay for the view though). If your walking back from Robin Hoods Bay with a pushchair you will definitely go through a good workout!! Highly recommended site.

Immaculate and beautiful
We have been camping here for 7 years and have never had anything less than a fabulous camping experience. The lovely family keep the site pristine at all times. There are no poor pitches, they all have a stunning view over the bay. The location is perfect and our 7 year old loves it too. I cannot recommend this site highly enough.

a tent with a view
I absolutely love this place. Fantastic clean spacious facilities, equipped with microwave and freezer. The site itself is wonderful with views of the coast the only downside is the slope but still return here as often as possible. Owners are friendly and the walk to the pub and beach easy.

First time camping
We have just spent our first weekend camping in our first tent, 2 Adults, 1 four year old and a Springer spaniel, and although it was a wet one, the sit couldn't have been better, as novices we were directed to a flatter more shielded spot by the owners. Facilities were really clean, views stunning and the location perfect for short walk down to the bay. Will definitely return.

Great little site. Quiet, clean and friendly. Stunning views across the bay but chill when the wind is from the east. Good value for money.
1 of 1 readers found this review useful.
A great clean campsite with fantastic views of Robin Hoods Bay. There was nothing better than waking up to an unspolit view of the sea. There was no waiting when using any of the facilites and they are all clean with great hot water in the showers. Can get quite windy so I reccomend a wind break as I didnt have one.
If wanting to use restaurants in Robin Hoods Bay I reccomend booking in advance as I found it difficult to find any tables at the better establishments.

Great views
We really enjoyed our stay here, three nights after completing the Coast to Coast walk. We pitched at the bottom of the site, which is flat and has exceptional views. The facilities were very good, extremely clean too, and the staff we spoke to could not have been more helpful. The site was very busy (August), so there was the occasional shower queue, but there were individual washrooms where there always seemed to be space. Robin Hoods Bay was a stroll away down a footpath from the bottom of the site, the location was perfect.

Welcoming: very friendly
First impression: small, green, well kept
Views: stunning! Unparalleled view over Robin Hoods Bay, Towards the historically interesting Ravenscar.
Facilities: potakabin's & sheds all absolutely spotlessly clean. Showered free!
Pitch: generous, not penned in. We pitched by hedge -less breezy.
Play: not tons of room around tents, although quiet enough for cricket on 'road track' . A whole field adjacent to camping field to play frisbee, cricket, footy etc.
Location: 20 mins decent walk down (fairly steep) footpaths to the bay. Great views all the way.
Return: absolutely.

First time at Hooks House farm May bank holiday weekend, but will definitely return. Friendly welcome from the owners. It's the first time i've been to the area and we absolutely loved it. Robin Hoods Bay is amazing, you just feel transported back in time. Great meal at Smugglers. The campsite itself is rather breezy, so I would make sure to check the wind forecast before setting out. Get there early to bag one of the flatter spots at the bottom of the hill with uninterrupted views of the bay as a proportion of the main field does slope. I usually go for back to basic sites that are a little less organised and not quite as busy with plenty of room between tents, however the great spot we had meant it didn't bother me. The facilities were good, however the shower I had was on the cool side. There's a bus stop about 200m down the road where you can get the bus into Whitby, but a taxi from Bay taxi's is almost as cheap and great service.

Perfect View
I love this campsite and keep returning several times a year. The view is stunning - it's hard to drag yourself away from your tent to do anything! The facilities are great. The showers always have hot water and are spacious. They also have a block of wash rooms which are really useful when it's busy. The facilities are always very clean and well kept. As the campsite is on a hill it can be windy but it's never caused us any problems and there are sheltered spots around the edge of the field. Last time we went more hedges had been planted to give more shelter in the future. The campsite is about a 5-10 minute walk from the upper part of Robin Hoods Bay where there is a pub and shop. Can't wait to go back in a few weeks.

Robin Hoods Bay's narrow streets are fun to explore and the town has its own cinema at the Swell Café Bar (01947 880180). With original 1820s pews, it feels more like a theatre than a cinema. Whitby is only 6 miles up the coast and its abbey (01947 603568) is a good place to start your visit. Take in the views over the town and the coast (and the tea shop) before you head down the famous 199 steps into the bustling, higgledy-piggledy streets of the old town and harbour. If you're here with kids, the harbour walls make a good spot for crabbing, while the beach awaits for kite-flying, fossil-hunting, and exploring rock pools at low tide. Several boat trips leave from the harbour; between mid September and early November the Speksioneer and its sister boat, the Esk Belle II ('The Big Yellow Boat') set off in search of minke whales that follow the shoals of North Sea herring as they swim down from the Arctic to their spawning grounds off the coast of Whitby. If you're lucky, you might also spot porpoises, dolphins, and seals, and even if you're not, you'll definitely see some beautiful coastal scenery. The 21-mile ex-Scarborough-to-Whitby train line runs through the upper village and makes a great hiking/biking route – bike rental from Trailways at nearby Hawsker (01947 820207).
If it rains
Rainy day activities in Whitby, some 5 miles to the north, include, somewhat eclectically, Whitby Abbey (01947 603568), The Dracula Experience (01947 601923) and the Captain Cook Museum (01947 601900).

A stealthy File Integrity Checker
The STEALTH program performs File Integrity Checks on (remote) clients. It differs from other File Integrity Checkers by not requiring baseline integrity data to be kept on either write-only media or in the client's file system. In fact, client's will contain hardly any indication at all that they are being monitored, thus improving the stealthiness of the integrity scans.
STEALTH uses standard available software to perform file integrity checks (like find(1) and md5sum(1)). Using individualized policy files, it is highly adaptable to the specific requirements of its clients.
In production environments STEALTH should be run from an isolated computer (called the `STEALTH monitor'). In optimal configurations the STEALTH monitor should be a computer not accepting incoming connections. The account used to connect to its clients does not have to be `root': usually read-access to the client's file system is enough to perform a full integrity check. Instead of using `root' a more restrictive administrative or ordinary account might offer all requirements for the desired integrity check.
STEALTH itself must communicate with the computers it should monitor. It is essential that this communication is secure, and STEALTH configurations will therefore normally specify SSH as the command-shell to use to connect to its clients. STEALTH may be configured so as to use but one SSH connection per client, even if integrity scans are to be performed repeatedly. Apart from this, the STEALTH monitor might be allowed to send e-mail to remote clients system's maintainers.
STEALTH-runs itself may start randomly within specified intervals. The resulting unpredicability of STEALTH-runs further increases STEALTH's stealthiness.
STEALTH's acronym is expanded to `Ssh-based Trust Enforcement Acquired through a Locally Trusted Host': the client's trust is enforced, the locally trusted host is the STEALTH monitor.
This package provides the supplemental documentation for Stealth.

Car sales fall 8 % in November as festive season demand dries up
The automobile industry continued to show signs of distress with car sales declining by 8 per cent in November due to poor consumer sentiment.
The post-festive season slump has affected almost all segments of the industry, Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM) said, adding that it expects turnaround in the this sector only after a new government is formed after the general elections scheduled next year.
"We had anticipated that sales in November will decline as after the festive season demand dries up. All the segments, except two wheelers, are negative and going through a challenging phase," SIAM Deputy Director-General Sugato Sen told reporters here.
According to the data released by the industry body, domestic passenger car sales stood at 1.43 lakh units in November against 1.56 lakh units in the same month last year. "The sluggish market conditions have forced potential customers to delay their purchases. The current situation is unlikely to change till the time a new government comes. At this stage, this government cannot do anything spectacular to bring about a revival," he added.
All major carmakers posted negative sales during the month under reference.
While country's largest car maker Maruti Suzuki India's domestic sales dipped by 4.22 per cent to 71,649 units, Hyundai Motor India's sales declined by 3.66 per cent to 33,427 units.
Likewise, Tata Motors saw its car sales dropped by 41.57 per cent to 7,910 units, while Mahindra & Mahindra's domestic sales declined by 30.46 per cent to 16,249 units.
Sales of Honda Cars, on the other hand, jumped to 9,310 units on the back of its compact sedan Amaze, up from 3,711 units in the year-ago month. The SIAM data showed total two-wheeler sales grew by 5.55 per cent to 12.41 lakh units in November from 11.75 lakh units in the year-ago period.
Motorcycle sales during the month improved by 1.44 per cent to 8.80 lakh units from 8.68 lakh units , while scooter sales stood at 3.06 lakh units, up 25.03 per cent.
Commercial vehicles sales were down by 28.78 per cent to 43,730 units, SIAM said.

Surfactants, which are wetting agents that lower a liquid's surface tension, have a long list of uses, from detergents and cosmetics to paints and pesticides. Most surfactants are petroleum-based. But in Peoria, Ill., a team of U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) scientists has focused their attention on sophorolipids, surfactant-like molecules produced by naturally occurring yeasts.
Microbiologist Cletus Kurtzman is spearheading the studies at the National Center for Agricultural Utilization Research (NCAUR), operated in Peoria by the Agricultural Research Service (ARS), USDA's chief intramural scientific research agency.
Using phylogenetic analysis and mass-spectrometry, Kurtzman's team screened 19 of the 40 known members of the Starmerella yeast family for their ability to produce the sophorolipids.
Phylogenetics, which traces the evolutionary relationships between species or groups, was particularly useful because it enabled the team to determine which Starmerella members produce the molecules based on shared gene sequences for the trait. For example, only a few Candida yeast species had previously been shown to make the sophorolipids-most notably, C. bombicola and C. apicola.
Kurtzman's team was able to broaden its search by tapping the ARS (microbial) Culture Collection, maintained at the Peoria center's Bacterial Foodborne Pathogens and Mycology Research Unit.
In studies there, the researchers cultured the yeasts on a diet of glucose oleic acid. They then measured the yeasts' sophorolipid production levels over a 24- to 168-hour period using mass-spectrometry analysis, which can identify compounds based on their unique molecular weights.
As expected, C. bombicola and C. apicola boasted the highest sophorol

The Central government on Friday announced that most of the contentions issues pertaining to fuel supply agreements (FSAs) had been resolved and power companies were likely to ink pacts with Coal India Limited (CIL) in a month's time.
The announcement came after a meeting between Coal Minister Sriprakash Jaiswal and Power Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia here. "Most of the issues related to the contentious FSAs have been resolved. Most of the issues have been addressed. The FSAs between power companies and CIL are likely to be signed in a month's time," Mr. Jaiswal told journalists here.
The development comes close on the heels of the latest directive by the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) asking power producers to enter into FSAs with CIL within a month. The PMO directive of December 17 came after the November deadline set by the PMO for signing FSAs was missed, amid differences over various issues, including coal quality.
Noting that discussions were freewheeling and positive, Mr. Scindia said: "We are not sitting on the opposite side of the table; we are sitting on the same side of the table. We will be ready to sign the FSAs over the next month".
Both the Ministers said that a joint decision had been taken to ensure that there would be no distinction on FSAs for public and private power companies. "We have taken a joint decision that there will be no distinction. Now, the modalities related to those issues, please leave it to the companies concerned to sort out and then sign the FSAs," Mr. Scindia said.
Private power companies have raised concerns over certain FSA clauses, which they claim are in favour of PSUs. On the issue of pooling of coal prices, a joint policy by Power and Coal Ministries is expected to be ready in a week or ten days. According to Mr. Scindia, both Ministries would make joint efforts to re-allocate three coal blocks to NTPC.

Polisario frees 404 Moroccan prisoners – Red Cross
August 18, 2005
GENEVA (Reuters) – Western Sahara's exiled Polisario Front
independence movement on Thursday freed its last 404 Moroccan
prisoners of war, many held for almost two decades, the
International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) said.
In a statement, the neutral Geneva-based humanitarian
agency said the release followed mediation by the United States
and that the freed men were being flown to Morocco to be
reunited with their families.
Over the years, the ICRC has repatriated more than 2,000
Moroccan prisoners captured during a 16-year-long guerrilla war
with Morocco over the Western Sahara. A U.N.-brokered ceasefire
was clinched in 1991, ending the conflict.

Lloyd Webber Buys Back Really Useful Group
Editorial Staff • West End • 19 Apr 1999
Lloyd Webber already owned a 70 percent stake in RUG, but Universal procured the 30 percent remainder as part of its acquisition last year of Polygram, the music and film group. With yesterday's purchase, Lloyd Webber will, for the first time in his life, own 100 percent copyright of all of his musicals, which include Cats, Phantom of the Opera, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Sunset Boulevard, Aspects of Love, Starlight Express and Whistle Down the Wind.
In a statement, Lloyd Webber said that this made RUG 'unique in the theatre business' and that the company would 'go forward as a truly independent home for writers, musicians and all creative artists.' As part of the deal, RUG will continue to work with Universal via extensions to their existing music, video, television and distribution deals. Upcoming joint projects include the release of a definitive box set of Lloyd Webber recordings and a video of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.
Other possible expansion plans for RUG, which turned a £12.5 million last year, include further releases of pop star sung Lloyd Webber singles and Internet developments as well as the Las Vegas hotel.
Heads of agreement were signed by Universal and RUG this weekend. The deal is expected to be completed by the end of June 1999.

Increasing the Consumption of Open Data in Kenya - The Open Data Pre-Incubator Experiment
Download the Infographic Here.
In this article here, I outline briefly, the current state of Open Data in Kenya. It emerges that the open data has not had as much impact as we would like it to.
There have been a number of concerted efforts to increase the consumption of open data as this has been really wanting in the past year. Being novel, there is quite some hype about open data platform but we would like to see greater impact as a result of releasing the open data in the areas of development, transparency, accountability and service delivery.
To this end, a consortium consisting of AMI, the Open Institute, @iLab Africa, iHub Research, the World Bank and the Kenya ICT Board, has come together to conduct an experiment over a period of 6 months, The Kenya Open Data Pre-Incubator.
The aim of this experiment is to test out a model that aids in accelerating the ability for the public to make sense and consume open data as well as to galvanize the public's engagement around critical issues affecting them. Should the model prove successful, it will be put to use in a broader two-year incubator effort, endorsed and supported by the highest levels of government and the technological community.
What is the big idea behind this pre-incubator? We attempt to demystify this experiment in previous posts here and here.
Picking an excerpt from Part I of this article,
Looking at the open data ecosystem then, the largest percentage of the population, those we call, in huge quotation marks, "the uneducated citizens", has barely interacted with the platform. These are people who are not experts in reading data and deriving knowledge from data. We need then, the 'educated citizens' and the 'developers', to step in and team up to effectively manipulate this data into useful information that generates knowledge for the masses. That, I believe, is the only way we can promote transparency, accountability, citizen engagement and proper service delivery from our government using open data.
This is the motivation of the Open Data pre-incubator.
Essentially, in the Open Data Pre-Incubation, four media and civil society organizations will build an application or service or platform using open data as a base, around key thematic issues: water, education, health and cross cutting issues at the counties level.
These host organizations from media and civil society will have highly qualified Open Data fellows and developers (referred to as Code 4 Kenya) embedded in them throughout the duration of the experiment. Together they (hosts and fellows) will conduct a close consultation process with issue expert working groups who will provide insight into specific use cases and technical insight into available open data resources.
Using a Design Thinking approach, the fellows will then amalgamate these insights together with extensive end-user research, that they are expected to carry out, and their technical expertise to create applications that will try and solve the issues raised. Specifically, these applications, services or platforms should be used at scale across Kenyan society and drastically increases the use of open data.
iHub Research bears the great responsibility of training and mentoring in these design thinking approaches as well as documenting the entire process of the experiment; delivering use cases; carry out a critical analysis of the process; and making recommendations that can be used for actionable planning. Based on this, iHub Research will be able to create a toolkit and draw out a more accurate action plan and model to be used when the actual incubator comes into force.
Key actors to note then, beyond the consortium, are:
- Thematic Expert Working Groups: composed of government, donor and other issue experts will provide context and support to host organizations and fellows throughout the pre-incubation process, particularly around existing data, data needs and particular needs related to innovation in monitoring and public service delivery.
- Host Organizations: drawn from media and civil society through a competitive bidding process, will commit to house Fellows for a six month period and, with input from thematic working groups, will select application, service or platform projects that will be sustained and scaled.
- Open Data Fellows and developers: individuals who understand thematic issue areas, as well as having a specific technical vision and skills, will explicitly support builds for civil society and media teams, and directly provide technical advice to support issue expert teams.
Recently, a two-day sensitization workshop was held at Strathmore University, the Open Data for Development Camp as part of the Open Data pre-incubator experiment.
iHub Research will be providing weekly updates, overviews, experiences and lessons learnt as experiment progresses over the next six months.

so this is a chance of happening?
so this is a chance of happening?
Technically everything has a CHANCE of happening
Look- most of you now know what I know. Dell has been exploring several smaller moves that would impact this season but not seasons beyond. I know he has inquired about several backup wing players and has proposed one trade that would land us a starter on an expiring contract.
From the proposal I know he made (and was rejected by the other team), it seems to me that he is trying to swindle someone but if they don't bite, he is content with what he has going into the year.
So, basically, by tomorrow night Dell will have either pulled off a trade that makes us all say, "Wait, why would the other team do that?" or we will go to war with the guys we got as Dell continues to survey the landscape for a no brainer type of deal
A true coach/leader learns and adapts. They do not stick to the my way or the high way train of thought, unless of course that way is backed with years of proven success, which Monty does not have at this time.
I hope that our coach realizes, that even the greatest defense of all time still allowed 83.4 PPG. We will be nowhere near the greatest defense of all time, so it stands to reason we will give up at least 92 per game. We need to play to our strengths, which is youth - speed and athleticism. Do not bog us down in a half court set, we will need all the easy baskets we can get.
aslong as we end up with Jrue or CP3 next season i'm happy
He wants to run after getting turnovers. But his offense is a bit slower paced. So we need someone that can do both. Vasquez excells at running half court sets. But running out on the break and he looks out of his element.
Now I do voice overs. Finally!
Click here for my first voice demo!
Unless we are making a hard push for the playoffs I don't understand sending out a longterm sixth man in Vasquez for a one year rental, and Calderon isn't the difference between us and the post season.
"I don't know if people know I dislocated my pinkie finger. And [Tyreke] told me, 'You wanna go home or you wanna be here?' I want to be here. And he said, 'All right, then go tape it up and let's play. Let's go. We not stoppin' at no stores. Straight gas. That's what we do, just keep going.'"
One mock draft has us taking Noel at number 4...
Can you imagine the world actually coming to a complete stop and the center of it being NOLA...
Yes. Last season was a shortened season with many players that were not going to be here long term and there was a deep draft with a franchise changing player. This season you have a weak draft and long term players throughout the roster so it's time to establish a culture of winning and you don't do that by tanking.
GV is a cool guy and very likeable, but he turns the ball over too much. I'd take Calderon on a 1-year rental in a heartbeat. We're probably developing Roberts to be the longterm backup.
And who knows? Maybe during the season Rivers will be ready to take over the point, and we could possibly flip Calderon for something else (SF maybe?).
So many possibilities.
The thing is, Greivis has never turned the ball over as much as he did this preseason. I don't know if perhaps it's playing with new players or thinking about if his option would be picked up or what but he never turned the ball over much until this preseason.
My Anthony Davis website: http://thebrow.uphero.com/
GV will average 7-10 assist this year. "Mark it dude". Yea, lots of turnovers in pre-season but...its pre season and he wasnt alone in those troubles.
"Every fight is a food fight when you're a cannibal."- Demetri Martin
Im hoping we get Calderon. he is the perfect mentor for Rivers. He is a great team leader. He makes up better this year. He is a valuable trade chip for the deadline that can be traded for picks, young players to a contender. He stabilizes the offence and helps Davis, Anderson grow.
I hope to be wrong, but it looks as if this exercise has run it's course. I'm just really curious as to what trades Dell might be talking about this upcoming deadline.
Monty, Dell, and Benson: OUR big 3!

I wish to thank the good folks and businesses of Roane Co for their support to Roane Imagination Library during the last year.
Founding father Thomas Jefferson said in 1787, "Were it left to me to decide whether we should have government without newspapers, or newspapers without government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter."
In small towns across America, Mr. Jefferson's words seem to ring true today. A study recently released by the National Newspaper Association shows that communities served by local newspapers continue to demonstrate heavy reliance upon their local papers for news and information.
No, this is not a column about pirate speak, although I do — in my own special way — honor International Talk Like a Pirate Day on Sept. 19.
I've given up.
I'm done.
I'm sick of it!
It once was my habit to study the weather forecasts as far as 10 days out, planning wonderful things for the nice days ahead.
Now, I don't even look at the forecasts.
I don't have to.
Folks know I get around. They also know that while on my travels I like to eat.
Well, sometimes, overeat, as witnessed by the spare tire hanging around my middle.
Since work regularly takes me to several counties in the greater Knoxville area, I've had an opportunity to sample many a restaurant's fare.
As not to cut into Bethel Poston's "Out to Lunch" feature, I won't name any names.
Let's just say there's plenty of good places to chow down here and around here.
It seems that many of our leaders in Roane County are taking it for granted that our overall goal in Roane County should be "growth" in the number of residents and jobs.
As far as I can tell, hardly any of them seem to extend this "growth" goal to specify what kind of growth they are for.
Consequently, they tend to be focusing on new tax forgiveness incentives and other ways to attract all kinds of businesses, with hardly any discussion of the desired quality of the desired growth in residents and jobs.
After the inaugural celebration for Gov. Bill Haslam this weekend, the new governor turned and immediately slapped the face of the public who elected him.
He signed three executive orders that, according to a news release from his office, were intended to set out his commitment to transparency and openness in state government.
Some commitmment.
Included in those orders was language that eliminates the governor and his top aides from having to disclose how much they earn in outside income.
The history of human communication is replete with divers methods and methodology.

Woman Learns She's Eight Months Pregnant When Boyfriend Feels Baby Kick
A couple in Los Angeles is expecting their first child is a few months, but just found out last week!
A couple in Los Angeles is expecting their first child is a few months, but just found out last week!
We all know the internet can be really mean sometimes, even to pregnant women.
For some families Thanksgiving is not just a time to give thanks, its a time to pull pranks!
It's a question all impending parents get asked. "Are you going to find out what you're having?" And while most do, many may not do it the way Carrie Underwood did.
Congratulations to Shakira and her soccer player partner Gerard Piqué! The pair announced today that they are expecting their second child.
In one of the the craziest stories I've seen in a while, 2012 Olympian, Alysia Montaño, ran the 800 meters race, this past week, at 34-weeks pregnant.
You probably know by now that Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis are expecting their first child this fall. And what their doing right now in anticipation of that child sounds like an awesome idea to me.
She sounds brave to me, but Mila Kunis says she will be all natural when it comes to giving birth. And she knows what she'll be having.
Congrats to Kelly Clarkson and her new husband, Brandon Blackstock! They are expecting their first child.
It's a question that often comes up after a woman finds out that she's expecting, and usually people would jump right to "no", but according to a new article in the Wall Street Journal women might get a different answer.

Violent street gang: US targets finances of MS-13
Thursday - 10/11/2012, 5:34pm EDT
By ALICIA A. CALDWELL
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) - The Obama administration declared the ultra-violent street gang MS-13 to be an international criminal group on Thursday, an unprecedented crackdown targeting the finances of the sprawling U.S. and Central American gang infamous for hacking and stabbing victims with machetes.
The Treasury Department formally designated MS-13, or Mara Salvatrucha, a transnational criminal organization. The aim is to freeze it out of the U.S. financial system and seize what are estimated to be millions of dollars in criminal profits from drug and human smuggling and other crimes committed in this country.
The gang was founded by immigrants fleeing El Salvador's civil war more than two decades ago. Its founders took lessons learned from that brutal conflict to the streets of Los Angeles and built a reputation as one of the most ruthless and sophisticated street gangs, according to Immigration and Customs Enforcement Special Agent Jason Shatarsky.
With as many as 10,000 members in 46 states, the gang has expanded far beyond its initial roots. Members are accused of major crimes including murder, kidnapping, prostitution, drug smuggling and human trafficking.
The group established itself in Los Angeles before spreading across the U.S., said Shatarsky, an MS-13 expert assigned to ICE's national gang unit. The group's violence _ using a machete to hack a victim to death or shooting someone in the head in broad daylight, for instance _ surprised authorities and even rival gangs.
"They saw a level of violence that hadn't been seen before," Shatarsky said, adding that as the gang has expanded it has also become more sophisticated than many rivals.
The gang, which is allied with several of Mexico's warring drug cartels, has a strong presence in Southern California, Washington and Northern Virginia, all areas with substantial Salvadoran populations. Shatarsky said its members target residents and business owners for extortion, among other crimes. The gang is also active throughout Central America and in parts of Mexico. Authorities in Europe have reported evidence of MS-13 expanding operations there.
Among the most high-profile killings attributed to MS-13 in Virginia was the 2003 slaying of a pregnant teenager who had become an informant. Brenda Paz, 17, was stabbed to death and her body was left along the banks of the Shenandoah River. Gang members have also been linked to the 2007 execution style shooting deaths of three friends in a schoolyard in Newark, N.J. One victim was slashed with a machete before being shot. Six people have been charged in the case.
By labeling MS-13 an international criminal organization subject to sanctions by the Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control, the government hopes to stymie the gang's ability to funnel money back to its leaders in El Salvador or launder criminal proceeds through otherwise legitimate businesses.
George Grayson, an expert on Mexico's Los Zetas drug cartel who has also studied other criminal organizations, said the Treasury sanctions are likely to be successful throttling the group's finances in the U.S. but may not affect its operations in El Salvador or the rest of Central America. With the gang having significant numbers of members operating outside the U.S., he said, it may be hard to have as significant an impact as the government wants.
"You've got to have cooperation with the Central American authorities," said Grayson, a professor at the College of William & Mary and a senior associate at the Center for Strategic & International Studies in Washington.
The Treasury Department's undersecretary for terrorism and financial intelligence, David S. Cohen, said that while no specific members of the gang have been listed as part of the group's sanction, anyone identified as a gang member or associate trying to do business with gang members could be subject to criminal prosecution.
The government is also making it more difficult for gang members to use banks and wire transfer services to move profits from the group's crimes.
ICE Director John Morton described the designation as a "powerful weapon" for his agency's effort to dismantle the gang. The action "allows us to strike at the financial heart of MS-13," he said.
Other international criminal groups that have been subject to similar sanctions by the Treasury Department include the Yakuza, a Japanese organized crime group, and the ruthless Mexican drug cartel, Los Zetas.

It's that time of year again. That "Holy smokes! Christmas is over and a new year is starting — where did the time go?" time of year. It's shocking to think how fast time goes by. I am told on a regular basis from older family members and friends that time only goes faster as you age. It makes you wish you had a way to slow things down, enjoying more quality time with family and friends. It kind of makes me wish I had a time machine.
If you were to poll my family and friends, there are a few things that they would all be likely to tell you about me. One thing for certain would be repeated: "Marisa loves 'Doctor Who.'" If you aren't familiar with it, "Doctor Who" is a British TV show that started in 1963. It is about the adventures of an alien time-traveler and his human traveling companions. "The Doctor" has a time machine, and they fly about time and space and combat many evil forces.
I often wonder how much easier my job would be if I had a time machine. I think about the evil forces of infection, parasites, tumors and organ failure that I could defeat. I could travel back in time and stop my arch nemeses before they affected the pets in our families. Perhaps, some would argue, that would be a poor use of time travel in the big picture. But certainly it would make me a happier veterinarian and bring about healthier and happier times with our pets. I think it would make the world a better place. Happy pets mean happier owners.
If you think about it, we have a way to combat those particular medical evil forces in our current time. Medical testing with early detection is often the key to winning the battle with many diseases. We have routine medical tests, such as heartworm tests, organ profiles, complete blood cell counts, X-rays, fecal tests and countless other tools at our disposal. If we don't use the proper screening available, many diseases will continue to ruin our beloved pets' quality of life and decrease their lifespans.
Consider how many issues we could avoid if we were more proactive in our pets' medical care. We could eradicate all flea infestations in homes around the world if we all would use proper monthly flea control for our cats and dogs. Ending the flea epidemic worldwide would certainly be a victory over one of veterinary medicine's arch enemies. I can't tell you how many cat owners tell me that they don't use flea control for their cat because the kitty stays inside completely. That's when I run a flea-comb through their itchy indoor kitty's fur, and I inevitably find flea dirt and live fleas. I would take my time machine back to before the first flea found that furry friend and stop the infestation before thousands of flea eggs were dispersed in the environment.
Getting your pets spayed or neutered is also a great way to avoid many diseases. One deadly example of a common disease affecting intact female dogs and cats is a disease called pyometra. Pyometra is a uterine infection. It can affect any un-spayed female and usually happens a few weeks to months after a heat cycle. This is a life-threatening disease and can make a female dog very ill surprisingly quickly. The best way to avoid the uterine infection altogether is to get your dog or cat spayed at an appropriate age, usually as a six-month old puppy or kitten.
Owners of pets with pyometra often tell me, "I wish we would have gotten her spayed when she was little." When people are faced with an avoidable life-threatening diagnosis, it is usually then that everyone wishes that they had done something about it earlier. They don't even know it, but they are wishing to use that time machine.
As much as I enjoy the idea of traveling time and space with "The Doctor" to fix my patients' problems before they begin, time travel is not possible. We can only use the best tools we have at hand to ensure that our pets lead healthier and happier lives. If we all would act sooner and not procrastinate when it comes to regular veterinary care, more diseases would be detected earlier, parasitic infections could be prevented and deadly infections such as pyometra could be avoided. If that were the case that imaginary time machine could be used for some other good, such as watching all of the future episodes of "Downton Abbey."

Triple Creek Announces River, an Enterprise Software Solution for Creating Dynamic Learning Networks
(Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) DENVER, CO -- (Marketwire) -- 01/15/13 -- Triple Creek, the market leader for enterprise knowledge sharing software, announces River, designed to create efficient, competency-based learning networks across an organization.
River fills a significant gap in the social tool market, going beyond simple file sharing and the friends-and-chatter paradigm. Intended to complement a company's current talent management infrastructure, River offers an efficient way to make meaningful learning connections for a variety of purposes -- such as support for learning programs and on-the-job performance, peer-to-peer and work team collaboration, employee development, leadership and high-potential coaching, and onboarding.
According to 2013 predictions for the HR, talent, and learning market just released by Bersin by Deloitte, "The challenge of finding people with the right skills in the right place drives many of our predictions for the coming year." (Predictions for 2013: Corporate Talent, Leadership, and HR - Nexus of Global Forces Drives New Model for Talent, Josh Bersin, January 2013.) River differs from other social tools in these key ways: Smart connection recommendations based on individuals' competencies, experience levels, availability, and other filtering options. Reports and dashboards to track employee adoption and use, organizational knowledge sharing activities, and competency weaknesses and strengths across the organization. Features to facilitate employee-initiated connections, manager-directed engagements for direct reports, and administrator-generated groups for various business and training initiatives.
"Most companies are still struggling to make collaboration and knowledge sharing more efficient and meaningful. This is a huge opportunity for learning and talent executives to bring significant value to the business," said Donald H. Taylor, chairman of the international Learning and Performance Institute and the upcoming Learning Technologies Conference. Triple Creek will debut River at the Learning Technologies Conference in London, January 29-30.
"River is a perfect fit for any company looking to build a culture of ongoing learning," said Randy Emelo, president and CEO of Triple Creek. "Its features, administrative tools, and look and feel are based on years of experience in working with Fortune 1000 companies to facilitate effective knowledge sharing based on business needs and challenges." Emelo's vision has shaped the design and development of Triple Creek's web-based software over more than a decade. (River has evolved from Triple Creek's initial offering, Open Mentoring, an award-winning technology solution for enterprise.) For product details or a demonstration, visit www.triplecreekriver.com or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
About Triple CreekTriple Creek is the market leader for enterprise knowledge sharing software. Since its inception, the company has helped hundreds of Fortune 1000 companies create and manage dynamic learning networks for broad cross-functional knowledge sharing and collaborative learning throughout their organizations. The company's original offering, Open Mentoring, has been recognized for excellence by industry research firms Bersin by Deloitte and the Brandon Hall Group. Headquartered in Denver, Triple Creek's diverse customer list includes McDonald's, Agilent Technologies, Credit Suisse, PepsiCo, AT&T, Sodexo, Dell, and the U.S. Navy.

Excellent for UV protection. Cut is more adequate for male builds than female. But nevertheless very sleek looking.
