What are eBay gift vouchers?
eBay gift vouchers are an additional way of paying for items bought on eBay India using PaisaPay (besides Credit Card and Online Bank Transfer). Your gift voucher will consist of a 10-digit alphanumeric code that you can enter while making a part or full payment using PaisaPay .
What kind of payment types do gift vouchers provide?
Payments using gift vouchers can be of two types:
What are the terms and conditions of using gift vouchers?
How can I get a gift voucher?
Sorry, you cannot apply to receive gift vouchers. eBay will distribute gift vouchers to users based on its own discretion.
I have received a gift voucher. What do I do?
Will I have to pay something to redeem a gift voucher?
No, eBay gift vouchers are absolutely free for buyers.
What happens to my voucher in case I'm eligible for a PaisaPay refund?
If you're eligible for a refund, you will receive the entire amount you paid for the order using online bank transfer or credit card. The amount will be refunded back to the same Credit Card or Bank account from where the initial payment was made. For example, if you paid using online bank transfer, the amount will be transferred back to your bank account. You will not, however, be able to re-use the gift voucher. In some cases, eBay may issue a new voucher at its own discretion.
How can I ensure that my items are eligible for gift voucher purchase?
All you need to do is offer PaisaPay on your listings, and vouchers will be redeemable against your listings (depending on the terms and conditions of the specific vouchers).
What will it cost me if buyers pay for my item using an eBay gift voucher?
You will be charged the same PaisaPay fees as the payment type used by the buyer for paying the balance amount. So, for a Rs. 100 order, buyer has paid Rs. 80 using credit card and Rs. 20 using vouchers, sellers will be charged the PaisaPay Credit Card fees for the entire Rs. 100. If the buyer had paid Rs. 80 using online bank transfer, and Rs. 20 as vouchers, the seller will be charged the PaisaPay online bank transfer fees for the entire Rs. 100. In case the amount is fully paid for using vouchers, then coupon fees rate will be charged. (click here to refer to the rates).
Can I buy gift vouchers?No, you will not be able to buy vouchers. eBay will distribute coupons directly to users, based on its own discretion.

Sometimes holidaying or travelling alone can seem like the best way to distress or discover yourself. Here are a few tips to help you travel safe
A few unfortunate incidents involving women travelling alone or in a group have led people to talk about how to be safe in your own city. Here are a few tips on how to be safe when you travel.
Research and know your risks
The more you know about your destination, the safer and happier your travels will be. Your research should include safety, health conditions, political and economic environment, local laws and so on. By doing so, you will be aware of people's attitude towards travellers.
Understand the norms and dress like the locals
Read up before you go, so that you can carry appropriate clothing with you. Once you're there, observe local women for their dressing and how they interact with others.
Keep in touch
Leave a tentative plan with your family or friends before leaving. It's also a great idea to let them know when you will contact them, so that if you don't, they know they need to reach out. If you make sudden changes in plan, drop them an email. These days tagging places and people on Facebook are also a good way to inform people.
Stay sober
If it doesn't look or seem right don't walk around late at night and ride in empty compartments on trains. Never compromise safety to save money on a hotel or transportation. Always exude confidence and walk purposefully. But most importantly, don't drink with unknown people.
Beware of other women
It may sound incorrect, as we tend to feel safer with other women around. How ever, there have been cases where women have gotten other women into trouble. Be cautious.
So, follow the tips, and set your compass to unknown destinations. Enjoy the challenges and extraordinary experiences that solo travelling brings your way.

Sharon Williams, Roseboro's assistant town clerk, has graduated from the Rural Economic Development Institute class, giving her, she said, the opportunity to sharpen her professional tools in order to strengthen the town and focus on new growth.
"The class is facilitated through the NC Rural Center," explained Williams. "Only a certain number of applications are accepted each year." The 2014 class, which was limited to 36 students, is offered over a period of three months. Each month students meet together three days to learn valuable skills designed to strengthen local leadership and have the opportunity to network."
Her time in the class opened her eyes, she said, to the workings of town government, offering her insights she will now bring back to the Sampson County town.
"This gives us the instruments and tools we need to network with other towns and businesses," Williams said in a telephone interview Thursday. "It's a wide spread group." The group has everything from minister to Progress Energy employees, to mayors and non-profit representatives. The group will also meet twice a year to touch base again.
"There's a broad range of people united to bring each entity together to cross hands," she said. "There are lots of hands teaching us how to handle particular situations."
Williams learned a wide range of skills, from how to negotiate cheaper rates for utilities to getting better interest rates on loans.
"We also studied infrastructure and networking and how to find grants and loans to build economic growth," she added. The classes also assisted with developing of social skills through role playing activities. Her class was taught by Misty Herget, senior associate for leadership development within the Rural Center.
"We had an investment person trying to get a loan at a bank," she detailed about one of her classes. "They wanted to sell water to a neighboring town, but didn't have any money up front. They were told no, but being told no once doesn't mean the door has been closed." That example encouraged them to try a different way, which she said may lead them to be surprised by the outcome.
"This is going to open doors, allowing me to network on behalf of the town," she said. One example of a new connection she made is with Sampson Community College.
"I learned that each little town can have classes brought in," she explained, adding that classes would be focusing on business and basic courses about getting a job and maintaining it. The classes delved into four building blocks which are business development, workforce development, economic development and social and civil infrastructure.
Roseboro has had businesses close recently and she said what she has learned will help her work with the town on how to move beyond those closures.
"If people are not able to live here, we can't generate funds," she said. "We want to keep people here and encourage more people to be involved in the community." Williams recognizes more now how that everyday living impacts the community. She also said that the most surprising thing that she learned was how one person can make a difference.
"If you are confident in yourself, you'd be surprised how many others would be willing to follow," she added. "That leadership gets people to get on the band wagon."
She was also able to help others, particularly in areas dealing with the STEP program, a program in which Roseboro, like Garland, is currently involved.
"There were mayors from other towns going into the STEP program," she said, explaining how she shared her knowledge with others during the classes. "I gave them information on how we approached it."
The program has also caused her to get involved in Roseboro's Main Street and NCSTEP programs.
"It's about sitting down and getting the teams together and mainstreaming some things to get everyone on the same page," she said. "Focusing on one thing at a time will continue making Roseboro better."
"I'm not afraid to jump out on a limb and make a suggestion or be told no," Williams added. "You have to change your approach if you aren't successful the first time."
It's lessons like those, she said, which had made the course, and her graduation from it, so meaningful.

This guy couldn't carry Carlin's jock. Maher's material is made for an ultra liberal audience and he doesn't have the ability to crossover. Carlin on the other hand had the same belief and political views, but still appealed to a wide audience.
Totally agree with Raphael. He has the mind and gonads to pick up where Carlin left off and he is doing an admirable job of it.
Another case of someone that could've been born with no inclination towards performing comedy; but would still make it as a commentator because of his sharp tongue, bullshit detector and fearless wit. Absolutely brilliant.

60 dead in New Year's stampede in Ivory Coast
More News from Evelyne Aka
More News from Agence France-Presse
ABIDJAN – The Ivory Coast on Wednesday began three days of national mourning after a stampede among crowds gathered for celebratory New Year's Eve fireworks in Abidjan left at least 60 dead and dozens injured.
An AFP journalist saw many injured children, while images broadcast by RTI television showed bodies stretched lifeless on the ground outside the city's main stadium.
Piles of abandoned shoes and clothing could also be seen at the stadium, where soldiers and police were deployed, along with UN peacekeepers.
"This is a real tragedy on this New Year's Day," President Alassane Ouattara said at the scene.
"We are all in shock," he added, announcing that three days of national mourning would be held starting Wednesday.
The government said 60 people had died, with an average age of 18. Earlier, the head of military rescue workers, Lieutenant Colonel Issa Sako, told journalists that 61 had died.
"Forty-nine wounded were evacuated" by rescue workers, Sako said, adding that other injured victims had gone to hospital on their own. Another rescue official said at least 200 people had been wounded in all.
Sako said the flow of people at the stadium had caused a "very large crush" and that "in the crush, people were walked over and suffocated by the crowd".
Officials said around 50,000 people had gathered for the fireworks.
Witnesses said the stampede had broken out after the fireworks ended, though the cause remains unclear. It erupted near the stadium's main entrance, where security had set up tree trunks as crowd control barriers.
According to a police source, the crush occurred when two streams of spectators going in opposite directions crossed paths.
A security source added that rescue services "took some time to arrive".
Interior Minister Hamed Bakayoko said the "exact circumstances" of the tragedy are "under investigation by the security services".
Visibly shaken children were among the roughly 40 wounded taken to a hospital in the wealthy neighbourhood of Cocody, in the north of the economic capital.
A mother named Zeinab who had taken two of her children to the stadium found one of them in the hospital, a small boy who lay on a bed in a groggy state.
Zeinab said she "hurt all over" and showed a journalist the scratches on her body.
"I don't know what happened but I found myself lying on the ground with people stepping on me, pulling my hair or tearing my clothes," she said.
She said she had been knocked unconscious and that a young man had pulled her from the crowd.
The New Year's fireworks, the city's second in two years, had been touted as a symbol of national renewal under Ouattara after a violent post-election crisis that tore the country apart from December 2010 to April 2011, killing some 3,000 people.
The unrest began after Ouattara's long-time rival and former iron-fisted ruler Laurent Gbagbo refused to step down.
He was later arrested by forces loyal to Ouattara, with UN and French military backing, and transferred to the International Criminal Court in The Hague, where he is accused of crimes against humanity.
Though the troubled west African nation — the world's top cocoa producer — is still recovering from the political and military crisis, Ouattara had struck a note of optimism in a New Year's message on Monday evening.
He said the former French colony had "possibilities like seldom before" ahead of it, promising it would soon reap the rewards of economic growth and development.

Also joining the expedition is Anne Savage, Ph.D., Disney conservation biologist and Russ Mittermeier, Ph.D., president of Conservation International, both experts on primates. During their visit to China, they will study the golden monkey, a threatened species in China. "At Disney's Animal Kingdom, we are committed to conservation not only inside our park, but in habitats around the globe," said Savage.
While scientists are following animal tracks and cataloging plants, Disney Imagineers will be researching local beliefs and myths to enrich the storyline for Expedition Everest, a massive attraction under development at Disney's Animal Kingdom in Florida. To further explore new opportunities for linking culture and environmental protection, Disney will research the legend of the yeti, a creature whose traditional role as "protector of the sacred" has been integral to preservation in this region.
One of the world's hotspots, the Mountains of Southwest China stretch over 161,500 miles and are the most botanically rich temperate region in the world with an estimated 12,000 plant species, including 3,500 found nowhere else. The golden monkey, giant and red pandas are among the threatened species found only in this hotspot.
The biodiversity hotspots are 34 regions worldwide where 75 percent of the planet's most threatened mammals, birds, and amphibians survive within habitat covering just 2.3 percent of the Earth's surface (roughly equivalent to the combined areas of the five largest U.S. states). This habitat originally covered 15.7 percent of the Earth's surface, an area equivalent in size to Russia and Australia combined. New hotspot analysis shows that an estimated 50 percent of all vascular plants and 42 percent of terrestrial vertebrates exist only in these 34 hotspots.
Results from the expedition will be shared with numerous entities, such as the Chinese government,

Things I liked:Trigger pull. Fiber optic sights. Easy cocking. Recoil pad. Thumb hole.
Things I would have changed:Gamo's cheap scope should be discontinued.
What others should know:Some people have complained about the hollow stock becasue of the hole on the bottom of the stock. I cut some studry foam to fit the hole precisely - that keeps out dirt and makes the gun a littel more quite. I have 3 of these Gamo Recon guns and really like them. Once you experiment and find which pellet the gun prefers, they are very accurate. All three of my Recons like the JSB domed pellet in 7.33 grains. I can shoot pop bottle caps at 20 yards with consistent hits. Throw away the Gamo scope and intall a BSA 2-7x32 scope with Accushot rings and you will be very happy with the combination.
Things I liked:I gave this to my grandson for Christmas It handles and shoots great Great value for the money and for a beginning shooter
Things I would have changed:Scope works but that's about all I can say for it I'd recommend a better scope
What others should know:Very easy for beginning shooters to learn shooting skills with. I'm almost tempted to buy another one for myself but I already have 4 and don't really need another one. Grest plinker.
Things I liked:For the price, it is a decent rifle that will be enjoyed. It is quiet enough for the basement and backyard, and I have found that the trigger and firing cycle are fairly predictable after about two tins -- 1000 pellets. The best pellets in mine are the AA Diabolo Field (with a 4.52 head) and H&N FTT (with a 4.51 head). JSB Exacts are another good choice. I can get a .350" 10 shot grouping at 10 yards with the pellets mentioned. Other common pellets can group at more than an inch, so test and choose your pellets wisely.
Things I would have changed:Throw the scope away!!! It is terrible. I plink with this gun, so the sights are fine. Due to the light weight, I would say it feels better without a scope.
What others should know:I own some fine air guns (AA Prosport and LGV), but occasionally, I'll sneak this gun out and have fun plinking. I would buy it again for my children.

Family caregivers and Care Partners are very important to our Veterans with MS. Taking care of yourself is as important as taking care of your loved one with MS. If you aren't healthy, it's harder to provide good care.
The website link VA Respite Care gives tips on well deserved respite time (taking a break!). All Veterans and Caregivers are eligible for 30 days of respite time per year.
If you need to talk to someone about caregiving, call VA Caregiver Support Line at (855) 260-3274 or go to VA Caregiver Support Website. A Caregiver coordinator can tell you about benefits for you and your Veteran with MS.
The VA Caregiver Support Website also has a VA MS Fact Sheet for Family Caregivers and a VA Caregiver Workbook to help you with caregiver related issues.
My HealtheVet has information on caregiving: VA MyHealtheVet - Caregiving Information
By Margaret Kazmierski, MSW, LCSW-C, MSCS and Alicia Sloan, MPH, MSW, LICSW
Many people diagnosed with MS say that the emotional changes are some of the most challenging symptoms to cope with. This can have a profound emotional effect on the Caregiver. If you understand how MS affects your loved one emotionally it may help you as you cope with your own feelings and the stress and challenges in your role as a Caregiver. > Read the article

Jeremy on: saving Britain's economy
I studied economics for A-level. And I should say at the outset I scored a U, because I didn't turn up for the exam, because there was no point, because I'd spent all of my time in lessons either doing the Melody Maker crossword or looking at a picture of the SR-71, which, for some reason, featured in an advert that ran every week in The Economist.
I also studied English. Not that you'd realise this if you've just read the first paragraph. But let's not get bogged down here with sentence construction. The point is, I spent two years sitting in a room where a man who never used to shake his penis properly after urinating used to drone on and on about Keynes and Smith. Some of it must have lodged in my head, though, and, as a result, I feel qualified to comment on the state of Britain's economy: it's very bad.
There are, as I see it, two ways out of the problem. You can put your money in the bank, and in return for half a per cent interest every 16 years, you get a piece of paper with some numbers on it every month and the telephone number of a customer relations man in India who has never heard of you.
There's another drawback to keeping your money in a bank, which is this: you will wake up every day terrified that in the night Greece has pulled out of the euro, the bank with your money has gone bust as a result and all your savings have ended up in a big invisible hole just outside Athens.
So. Keeping your money in a bank doesn't sound like a very good idea. But I'm afraid it is, because if everyone decided to take their savings out of the banks and the building societies and the pension funds, the financial services industry would disintegrate. And the financial services industry is not Belgian or Tunisian. It's British. The country needs it.
However, if we do take our money out of the bank and spend it, then money is sploshing about in the system again, and that's good for the economy. But whose economy? Probably not Britain's, because the only stuff we make is not the sort of stuff you want to buy. The wings for an Airbus, for example. Or the little plastic fasteners that hold the HT leads straight on a Honda Civic.
What I really want to buy at the moment is a Rolls-Royce. And that's odd, because this must surely be one of the most tarnished brands in all of human history. If there were a car called the Pol Pot, it would have more kudos.
Back in the early days of motoring when all the controls inside your car were actually outside, the Rolls was a tool for reminding the forelock-tugging peasantry that their lives were pointless. And that they should be glad that they'd just caught cholera.
Early Rolls-Royces were like gigantic wedding cakes. Even Caligula would have called them ostentatious.
After the war, when cars started to look like cars and designers hit upon the novel idea of bringing the gearlever and handbrake levers out of the weather, Rolls-Royce continued to be wilfully old-fashioned. It still believed that the engine and the front wheels needed to be shrouded with two separate pieces of metalwork, and that running boards still had a point.
By the Sixties, when the Labour Party was raising taxes on unearnt income to 98 per cent and generally making it very difficult and very embarrassing to be hardworking and successful, the rich had to keep their heads down, which meant you had to be especially pig-headed and thick-skinned to buy a Roller.
Indeed, the only people who bought them at this point were chaps called Vince, who had a team of attack dogs and a squad of thickset minders on hand to bite off the noses of those who thought it appropriate to make disapproving hand gestures.
Still, over the years, there had always been a sense that despite the wonky brand image, Rolls-Royces were engineered to a higher standard than lesser cars, that they cost a lot to buy because they cost a lot to make.
In the Eighties, though, even that crumb of credibility was taken away, because Nissan and Toyota had demonstrated that, for genuine engineering perfection, production lines and bulk buying and robots were the tools you needed, not some old man with a brown store coat and a Woodbine curling smoke into his eyes.
But Rolls couldn't afford a production line. And it didn't make enough cars to get the mass-produced, machine-built parts it needed for better reliability, quieter running and increased power. It had no clout in the market place. Which meant that, behind the beautifully veneered dashboard and under the thick carpets, the cars were essentially crap.
Rolls couldn't afford to design a new engine. It couldn't afford to design a new gearbox. It was asking customers to pay five times the price of a normal saloon for an ostentatious Vince-mobile whose roots were in the Fifties. Rolls would have gone belly up were it not for the intervention of VW. The mighty German bought Rolls, and its sister company Bentley, and young men drew up plans for rejuvenating the company whose engines had held their Dads at bay 50 years earlier.
But then came a discreet "ahem" from BMW whose chairman pointed out to the VW boss - on the golf course, apparently - that while VW had bought Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, it had no rights to use the Rolls-Royce name. Because of a tie-up with the jet-engine arm, that belonged to BMW.
I can't imagine the VW chappie could concentrate much on his game after he realised that he had no choice but to sell on his new acquisition to his rivals from Munich. Who built a new underground factory in Goodwood and launched the Phantom.
It should have been the worst car in the world. A tarnished British badge made from BMW bits by the bloody Germans. And yet, it wasn't.
Because BMW had the financial clout to access the global parts bin, and a deep understanding of what a luxury car should be like, it was an engineering masterpiece. It looked sensational, it drove beautifully and it was built to the sort of standards normally only seen in eye surgery.
Simon Cowell promptly bought a Maybach. Of course he did. He worked all day with shop assistants and clerks. He couldn't possibly have a Rolls. But then, after I urged him to have a look, he changed his mind and now has two.
So now we have a brand whose past is steeped in snobbery of the worst kind, and whose main ambassador is Simon Cowell. Along with Lieutenant Sir Lord Sugar and Sergeant AA Gill.
On this basis, I shouldn't want one. But I do. The idea of taking out my savings and putting them all on a black Rolls-Royce consumes every waking moment.
On the face of it, this would do bugger all to help the British economy. But it will help Germany's. Which, if we're to stay in the EU, is what matters most of all these days. The Boche must be strong to keep the weaklings afloat. We must buy German. For the good of the world, then, I must buy a Phantom.

Canonical Releases Ubuntu for Smartphone
Jan 08, 2013 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- Canonical announced a smartphone interface for its operating system Ubuntu using all four edges of the screen.
According to a release, Ubuntu gives handset OEMs and mobile operators the ability to converge phone, PC and thin client into a single phone.
"We expect Ubuntu to be popular in the enterprise market, enabling customers to provision a single secure device for all PC, thin client and phone functions. Ubuntu is already the most widely used Linux enterprise desktop, with customers in a wide range of sectors focused on security, cost and manageability," said Jane Silber, CEO of Canonical. "We also see an opportunity in basic smartphones that are used for the phone, SMS, web and email, where Ubuntu outperforms thanks to its native core apps and stylish presentation." The handset interface for Ubuntu introduces distinctive new user experiences to the mobile market, including: 1. Edge magic: thumb gestures from all four edges of the screen enable users to find content and switch between apps faster than other phones.
2. Content immersion - controls appear only when the user wants them.
3. Global search for apps, content and products.
4. Voice and text commands in any application for faster access to rich capabilities.
5. Both native and web or HTML5 apps.
6. Evolving personalised art on the welcome screen.
Ubuntu offers customisation options for partner apps, content and services. Operators and OEMs can add their own branded offerings. Canonical's personal cloud service, Ubuntu One, provides storage and media services, file sharing and a secure transaction service which enables partners to integrate their own service offerings easily.
Ubuntu is compatible with a typical Android Board Support Package.
Mark Shuttleworth, founder of Ubuntu and VP Products at Canonical, said, "We're shaping the future of personal computing. Ubuntu is proven on the desktop, and uniquely positioned to be at the heart of the next wave of consumer electronics, combining a beautiful hand-held touch interface with a full PC experience when docked." Chris Kenyon, VP Sales and Marketing at Canonical, said, "Ubuntu presents a single platform for all kinds of personal and enterprise computing, a unique opportunity to simplify operations for industry and end-users alike. We are delighted to extend our service offerings from the PC industry into the mobile sector." Canonical is the commercial sponsor of the Ubuntu project.

Water Quality Policy and Management in Asia
Edited by Cecilia Tortajada
Routledge – 2013 – 214 pages
Series: Routledge Special Issues on Water Policy and Governance
Routledge – 2013 – 214 pages
Series: Routledge Special Issues on Water Policy and Governance
Asia's 48 countries have an estimated 1.757 billion urban population and 2.4 billion people in rural areas (or approximately 60 per cent of the global population). Divided into central, eastern, southern, south-eastern and western regions, the continent is also extremely heterogeneous in terms of water quality conditions. The policies and management practices vary significantly from one country to another, and even within one country, depending on specific economic, political, social, environmental, legal and institutional factors. In order to appreciate the complexities associated with water quality policy and management, it is important to acknowledge the multiplicity of interrelated and often conflicting events, issues, actors and interests, both within and outside the water sector that impact them. This complexity, alongside institutional inability for systematic and coordinated collaboration, are potent reasons as to why, in the second decade of the 21st century, formulation and implementation of efficient water quality management policies benefitting humankind and the environment have still not been achieved.
The book was originally published as a special issue of the International Journal of Water Resources Development.
Foreword 1. Editorial 2. Water Quality: Assessment of the Current Situation in Asia 3.Economic Incentives Can Enhance Policy Efforts to Improve Water Quality in Asia 4. Exploring the Boundaries of Water Quality Management in Asia 5. Emerging Contaminants and the Implications for Drinking Water 6. An Overview of Policies Impacting Water Quality and Governance in India 7. Water Quality Management in China 8. An Integrated Management Approach for Water Quality and Quantity: Case Studies in North China 9. Institutional Capacity on Water Pollution Control of the Pearl River in Guangzhou, China 10. Soil Erosion Control and Sediment Load Reduction in the Loess Plateau: Policy Perspectives 11. Managing Urban Rivers and Water Quality in Malaysia for Sustainable Water Resources 12.

Opening Day brought the Padres a record crowd and one promising moment on a sun-splashed afternoon. A soaring baseball drifted foul, though, and the Dodgers marched to a 4-1 victory, which opened San Diego's 41st season in the major leagues.
Padres and Dodgers fans alike among the crowd of 45,496, the largest in Petco Park's six-year history, screamed when Padres cleanup hitter Adrian Gonzalez swatted Hiroki Kuroda's fastball high and far down the right-field line in the sixth inning.
Fair ball, and Gonzalez trots home behind two teammates to hoist the Padres ahead 4-3.
"I thought it had a chance," said Gonzalez, who hit 36 home runs last year.
"Your heart stops for a little bit," said teammate David Eckstein, who was running from second base.
The ball hooked foul.
Done fooling with Gonzalez, the major leaguer with the highest percentage of his team's RBI last year, Kuroda walked him to load the bases.
Dodgers manager Joe Torre summoned Cory Wade, who fell behind Kevin Kouzmanoff 2-0. A foul ball and a borderline strike evened the count, and then Kouzmanoff hit a weak groundout. He would go hitless in four at-bats, stranding five batters, as part of an offense that went 0-for-8 with men in scoring position.
"We had some opportunities, but a lot of them were with two outs and were all or nothing," said No. 3 hitter Brian Giles, whose RBI groundout in the first accounted for the team's only run.
Building on Wade's escape, the Dodgers' Matt Kemp led off the seventh with a long home run off Jake Peavy. Kemp's 416-foot drive sailed beyond right-center and landed near the Park at the Park, an area filled with some 3,500 fans yesterday who paid $7 for their Opening Day tickets.
But the game's most pivotal hit was James Loney's line single in the first, a two-out blow that put the Dodgers ahead 2-0. Peavy aimed the 1-2 fastball high and inside to the left-hander, whose slotting in the No. 6 spot, Peavy said, is further evidence of why this Dodgers lineup is the best he has faced. Peavy missed his target by several inches but called it a good pitch, one that Loney served to left field.
"Loney's a good hitter," Peavy said. "The game plan was to do what we did there. He made a good inside-out swing and got a little base hit."
Gonzalez deemed it a critical hit, and not just because the two runs doubled the amount Peavy had allowed in his previous three Opening Day starts combined.
"First game of the year, we felt the jitterbugs out there," the cleanup man said. "Everybody's a little anxious, a little nervous. I think for the most part, the Dodgers had that same feeling too, but they got their runs early, and it kind of made them relax a little more."

This sleeping bag has kept me and my wife warm in high 30s (with BA insulated core pads). It fits into medium size sea to summit dry compression bag, just small enough for backpacking. Lots of room in the middle but it only fits 72 inch pads, so I wouldn't recommend for people over 6 feet. I wish BA would make a longer version.
I am sending this back for a exchange. i am planning on going with the northface twin peek bag. I got this in the mail ( i was really excited about) pulled it out of the box like a kid at christmas laid it out on the bed and started looking at my great product i had just waited on its arival only to be disappointed with it. at first look, all looks well, then flip it over and notice it dont feel very fluffy on back side of it, WHAT no fill on back side of sleeping bag at all. ok I live in alaska even in summer the ground is very cold and you need something on underside all the time.
Ships FREE When will I get it?

Sugars made by plants are rapidly used by microbes living in their roots, according to new research at the University of York, creating a short cut in the carbon cycle that is vital to life on earth.
The green leaves of plants use the energy of sunlight to make sugar by combining water with carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. This sugar fuels the plants growth, but scientists in the Universitys Department of Biology discovered that some of it goes straight to the roots to feed a surprising variety of microbes.
A study led by Professor Peter Young, of the Department of Biology at York and Dr Philippe Vandenkoornhuyse of the University of Rennes in France is published in the latest issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the USA (PNAS).
In the carbon cycle, plants remove carbon dioxide (a greenhouse gas) from the atmosphere. Eventually, the carbon compounds that plants make are eaten by microbes and animals, which release carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere. The rapid cycling demonstrated by the new research is an important link in this process.
Professor Young said: Our research identifies microbes in roots that create a short cut in the carbon cycle. This is an important development given current interest in reducing outputs of carbon dioxide and the carbon trading that is intended to help this.
The researchers traced the path of the carbon by replacing the normal carbon dioxide in the air around the plants with a version made with C-13, a natural, non-radioactive form of carbon that is slightly heavier than the usual kind. Within hours, microbes in the roots were feeding on sugars laden with C-13 and using it to build their own cells.
The newly-made molecules of DNA and RNA produced by the microbes could be separated from pre-existing ones because the C13 made them heavier. DNA and RNA are large molecules that carry genetic information about the organisms that made them,

- Category: Fantasy Take - Latest NHL Moves
Fantasy Impact: The Nashville Predators have traded centerman and career-Pred David Legwand to the Detroit Red Wings for Patrick Eaves, prospect Calle Jarnkrok and a third-round draft pick.
The Red Wings get: an experienced second-line center who can chip in at both ends. Legwand is having the second best offensive season of his career. With Henrik Zetterberg out for the regular season, Legwand should be able to continue his pace.
The Preds get: a decent depth player/reserve player who gets hurt a lot. But that was just the Wings pushing off their useless contract. The Preds really did this for the prospect and pick. Jarnkrok is a really good prospect with upside, but he had indicated that he will be going back to Sweden next year. However, with the organizational change, it's likely that he will remain in North America and the Preds will give him a fair shot at a roster spot next year.
For more on Jarnkrok - click here.
Fantasy Players Impacted: Legwand's value remains static. It would go down, had Zetterberg been healthy, but with Zetterberg out Legwand can continue to see decent ice time and power-play time. The loser here is Stephen Weiss, who returns from injury with an opportunity to move back up the depth chart...only to see Legwand come in and take it. He can still get back to his 60-point ways if he is truly healthy, but he'll have to work a lot harder for it.
In Nashville, some power-play ice time opens up for Craig Smith, who has been robbed of it this season when he's been their best offensive option. It will be interesting to see if his offense shows further improvement. With Legwand gone, it's possible that we see Colin Wilson or Smith moved back to center and it's likely that Filip Forsberg is recalled.
Fantasy Players this helps, in order:
1. Smith
2. Forsberg
3. Jarnkrok
Fantasy Players this hurts, in order:
1. Weiss

We want people to know their toons well and be able to identify why they do what they do. When you gear your toon, what stats do you stack and where do those stats "cap" out at for your class/spec? A: Stamina for the tank, I don't know much what to stack specifically on resto, but I've been doing a combo of spell power/ intellect Q. UI Screenshot: A: n/a Q. Professions and level: A: Skinng 450, Enchanting 450 Q. Raid Experience*: A: 11/12 ICC 10, 10/12 ICC 25, Q. Previous guilds and reasons for leaving (include reason for wanting to leave current guild if applicable)*: A: Torrent- Not constructive, organized, or consistent. Raid leaders aren't experienced and don't contribute to raids. Q. What would your previous Guild Master or Raid Leader say about you? If you are comfortable listing this toon's name, please do so. A: Probably that I'm a good raider, consistent, helpful, but I can be hard headed sometimes. Q. We currently raid on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday from 7-10 server and may go over 1 hour depending on progression. What is your availability?* A: I can make 3/4 of those days. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Q. We frequently raid 10 mans on off nights and after our 25 mans. Are these of interest to you?* A: A little bit, for my alts maybe. Q. We require raid members to maintain a 75% attendance standard on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday from 7-10 server to be eligible to bid on loot.

A: No. Do you have any Wow Web Stats or World of Logs links? A: No. Is there any additional information you would like to share?

Did anyone else see the amazing Empire State Building light show last night? The building has been outfitted with brand new LED lights. I went up to my roof and tuned into the radio to listen to Alicia Keys serenade the city while the lights of the ESB danced to her songs. Check out the show below at the link.
