Blogger may not be the first blogging platform you would choose, it does have a reputation of being lacklustre, featureless and the bog standard skins have the look and feel of a site that was designed five years ago. That reputation is maybe a little bit exaggerated, but really, when was the last time you had a look at Blogger?
Web Design Horror Stories
In the grand scheme of things every seasoned web designer has had an experience of a bad client, and will most certainly have there own horror story that will creep back into there minds from time to time. If you are one of the lucky ones yet to experience a client from hell, brace yourself, they are coming! You can't avoid them, they are lurking in the deep recesss of the memories of every web designer they have already tarnished and scarred.
Of course there are good clients, and they out number the bad one 10 to 1, it isn't them, those saintly people, that you will remember. It is those needy, clueless, ignorant, time-consuming and money-grabbing clients that you will sadly remember.
Beautiful Digital Light Painting from Tony Ariawan
Digital light painting is the technique that can turn a dull image into an amazing and vibrant work of art that conveys a sense of movement and energy. This effect nearly always works well on subjects that are stationary or static but can be very difficult to produce on animated subjects such as people. It does take a very skilled hand to digitally paint a person with light, this is were Tony Ariawan comes in and excels.

The reconciliation act invests more than $40 billion in Pell Grants to ensure that all eligible students receive an award and that these awards are increased in future years to help keep pace with the rising cost of college, White House officials say. These investments, coupled with the funding provided in the Recovery Act and the president's first two budgets, will more than double the total amount of funding available for Pell Grants since Obama took office. By the 2020-2021 academic school year, more than 820,000 additional Pell Grant awards are expected to be made as a result of this new law.
The law covers the expected funding shortfall and much of the recent growth in Pell Grant costs, putting the program on more secure footing for years to come, according to officials.
Historically black colleges and universities and so-called Minority Serving-Institutions (MSIs) account for nearly one-third of all degree-granting institutions and enroll nearly 60 percent of the nation's 4.7 million minority undergraduates. The bill provides $2.55 billion in mandatory funding to these institutions.
As part of the expanded income-based repayment plan, new borrowers who assume loans after July 1, 2014, will be able to cap their student loan repayments at 10 percent of their discretionary income and, if they keep up with their payments over time, will have the balance forgiven after 20 years. Public service workers such as teachers, nurses, and those in military service will see any remaining debt forgiven after just 10 years.
Officials estimate that the legislation would save $61 billion over 10 years. Universities that participate in federal lending have just a few months, until July 1, to switch their financial aid systems to the new "direct lending" program.
The president acknowledged today that the health insurance bill won't fix every problem "in one fell swoop," but it "represents some of the toughest insurance reforms in history."
The president highlighted four areas where immediate progress can be made -- increasing the size of tax credits to help middle-class families and small businesses pay for their health insurance, offering $250 to older Americans who fall in the Medicare coverage gap known as the "doughnut hole" to help them pay for prescriptions, making new investments into community health centers, and strengthening efforts to combat waste and fraud in the system.
While health care overhaul may now be law, the White House is still hoping to get the message out and convey to Americans how it will impact their lives positively.
Americans are divided about the health care law and what it will mean for them. In a USA Today/Gallup poll released Monday, 50 percent said they thought the new law will increase their costs, while the same percentage called the passage of the bill "a bad thing."
In an interview with NBC News today, Obama called the health care package passed into law a "critical first step" but said that more changes need to be implemented to address costs down the line.
"I think it is a critical first step in making a health care system that works for all Americans. It's not going to be the only thing. We're still going to have adjustments that have to be made to further reduce costs," he told NBC's Matt Lauer.

You're still using your arm, but it's following the motion of your body -- not the other way around.
He's exaggerating in order to illustrate the point. I'm sure if we watched him in match play, his right arm is not passive -- but he most likely is rotating his body with his arm following that rotation.
I think you're exactly right with that.
And most professional players do indeed generate most of their power from the legs and core.
You might have noticed that many pros have relatively thin arms. Federer is not going to impress any chicks with his biceps. Nadal used to, but his arms look a lot thinner than they used to be. Tsonga also looks like he lost some upper-body muscle the past year. A lot of other players look really thin, and you really wonder how can they hit such powerful shots.
But all pros have strong legs and rock-solid abs. Don't take my word for it, ask your wife/gf, they notice this stuff.
That's because most of the power behind their shots comes from the core rotation.
This does not mean that the arms are just completely limp and flapping around the body, but the muscle tension in the arm is only as much as is needed for directional control, not for power.

Planning to head out to the woods above the maddening din of the city's grind? Check out Aamod Resort in Shoghi near Shimla. Now that's a real hill station.
I never miss a chance to escape into hilly green getaways. So this time when I wanted to explore mountains I decided to head for the rustic beauty of Himachal.
While the first name that comes to mind is the British colonial destination of Shimla, stop and look around you. Right at Shimla's doorstep is Shoghi, a small town, which offers you much more.
You may wonder what's so special. Well, the place provides a perfect eco-friendly and scenic beauty, thanks to Aamod Resort, nestled in the middle of a dense forest. Without chopping a single tree, or disturbing the natural beauty, 16 well done cottages made of local wood and mud exteriors offer a plethora of views to gaze upon.
Whether it is the oldest toy train track, exotic birds, trekking or an Ayurvedic spa to de-stress, it has everything. All the cottages are on various levels of the mountain and you might feel like trekking inside the resort itself.
Silent and beautiful
To get to your own cottage either from the restaurant (built in colonial style and offering regional and international flavours) or from the spa is a tedious affair, as you have to walk through a blend of forest and mountain.
"We tried to build the cottages only in the open spaces. So we built wherever we found land around the trees. The land belongs to the Forest Department so we are supposed to preserve the natural beauty," says Gaurav Jain, Managing Director.
Unlike cities where we set our own alarms, here it is the whistle of Shimla's mountain train that wakes you up, though it is bewildering initially. It passes by slowly, deep down in the valley full of rare vegetation.
Sunrays peep through tall trees and beam straight into your wooden abode making your skin glow. Beautiful butterflies tempt kids to run after them; exotic flowers beckon you to pose with them.
If the day holds these many attractions, the nights are mesmerising. To those used to the city buzz, the silence can be a bit haunting but a campfire is the perfect antidote. The dim lights hanging on the trees at a distance lead you to take a slow walk post-dinner. The nocturnal jungle sounds are scary but the calm atmosphere around the resort is reassuring.
For those die hard Shimla fans, who have seen their pristine abode turn into a slum and a civic nightmare, Shoghi is the best alternative. It's just a 30 minute drive away, so when you're done with the Mall Road and shopping, hire a cab back to your base camp, the real Hill station: Shoghi.
How to get there
Air: The Jubbarhatti Airport at Shimla is 33 km from Shoghi. Shimla is well connected to Delhi, though the flights depend on weather conditions.
Rail: The nearest broad gauge station is at Kalka. From Kalka, the climb up to Shoghi takes one and a half hours. Alternatively, take the world heritage toy train from Kalka and get down at Shoghi. Aamod is a five-minute drive from Shoghi.
Road: From Delhi take NH1 to Ambala. From Ambala take the road to Chandigarh upto Zirakpur, then get on to NH 22 towards Kalka. Shoghi is around 75 km from Kalka (a two-hour drive). Shoghi is well connected to Delhi, Chandigarh, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand and Punjab by bus.
Climate: Pleasant summers and cold winters. In peak winters, the place experiences mild snowfall. If you are travelling between November and March, carry heavy woollens.

The Chevrolet Colorado offers passengers in its extended cab about the same head- and legroom as the GMC Canyon. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between the Chevrolet Colorado and the GMC Canyon.
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Chevrolet Colorado as you will with the GMC Canyon, as they can travel a similar number of miles on a tank of gas.
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). When looking only at MSRP, the Chevrolet Colorado will have less of an impact on your bank account than the GMC Canyon. Another consideration is the Destination Charge, which is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle to the dealer from where it's built. The Chevrolet Colorado costs less to deliver to the dealership than the GMC Canyon.
The Chevrolet Colorado is about the same width as the GMC Canyon. When looking at overall length, the Chevrolet Colorado takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the GMC Canyon.
With similar torque, the engines of the Chevrolet Colorado and the GMC Canyon are able to equally transmit their respective horsepower to the wheels.
If you've got something you need to tow, the Chevrolet Colorado will do just as well as the GMC Canyon, since they have about the same towing capacity. In terms of horsepower, it's a virtual tie between the Chevrolet Colorado and the GMC Canyon.
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit the same number of people in the Chevrolet Colorado as you will the GMC Canyon.
The Chevrolet Colorado comes with essentially the same basic warranty as the GMC Canyon.

In Brief: John Ford asks court to postpone Nov. 6 trial
The public defender representing John Ford on federal corruption charges in Nashville filed a motion Thursday asking for a 5-month continuance.
The case is set to begin Nov. 6, but attorney Isaiah Gant said in the motion that he needs more time to prepare Ford's defense. He's asking the court to delay the trial until March.
Gant said his other cases as well as new developments in the Ford case have left him with little time to prepare.
Ford was convicted in Memphis on corruption charges related to the Tennessee Waltz investigation. Although Ford was due to report to prison Oct. 17 to begin serving his five-year sentence, U.S. Dist. Court Judge J. Daniel Breen continued the report date and set a Nov. 28 hearing to determine whether Ford should remain free pending his appeal.

Cohen praises Withers on floor of U.S. House
WASHINGTON -- Ernest Withers, the late Memphis photographer known for his images of the civil rights movement, was extolled on the floor of the House of Representatives on Thursday.
U.S. Rep. Steve Cohen, D-Tenn., noted Withers' passing earlier this week and recalled him as "a gentleman who was at the right time, at the right place, with the camera that took the picture that showed the civil rights movement, showed the history of Memphis, Tenn., and its progress from segregation to integration to a city that's one of America's great cities today."
The one-minute speech recalled that Withers took the iconic picture of B.B. King and Elvis Presley "back in '56 when B.B. was thin enough that you wouldn't recognize him and Elvis was thin, too."
Cohen noted that Withers also covered "all the major civil rights events that came throughout the Mid-South...
"He'll be missed in Memphis ... He'll be remembered in history books and museums."

Memphis man arrested in hit-and-run crash
Tipton County Sheriff's deputies have arrested a Memphis man in connection with a hit-and-run crash on U.S. 51 last week.
Officials said Thursday that Arthur Freddie Taylor, 42, was driving a stolen Cadillac Seville on U.S. 51 near Jack Bennett Road Oct. 11 when he hit another car and drove away. The driver of the other car, Maria Ramsey, 42, of Brighton, and her 14-year-old son were treated at the Regional Medical Center at Memphis and later released.
Covington police found the damaged Cadillac on Peete Street Saturday. The car belongs to Taylor's mother.
Taylor's charges include driving with a revoked license, reckless driving and leaving the scene of an accident.
-- Sherri Drake
The lighter side
This is no fish story: If kids can catch the catfish Saturday, they can keep the catfish and maybe win a few prizes as well.
Agricenter International in Cordova will host its annual Junior Fall Fishing Rodeo from 7 a.m. to noon Saturday at its Catch 'em Lake on Walnut Grove near Farm Road.
Registration for two competitions -- the first for ages 10 and under and the second for ages 11 to 15 -- is $7. Proceeds will go to the Agricenter's education programming.
On-site fish cleaning will also be available.
For details, call 757-7777, ext. 7100.

Baseball America breaks down Red Sox draft
|10.20.10 at 2:43 pm ET
Baseball America issued its annual draft report cards on Wednesday, suggesting that in their first draft under scouting director Amiel Sawdaye (who replaced Jason McLeod, who left to become Assistant GM in San Diego), "looked at talent rather than price tags and aggressively signed far more than their share of prospects."
The complete Report Card is available (for Baseball America subscribers) by clicking here.
A few items of note from their evaluation of the team's draft:
–While first-rounder Kolbrin Vitek is generally viewed as the most advanced hitter the Sox took in the draft, the Report Card suggested that high school second baseman Sean Coyle, who signed for $1.3 million to pass on a scholarship at UNC, could be the best pure hitter in the draft. The small-framed middle infielder shows surprising pop, as became evident when he homered early in Florida Instructional League.
–Sandwich pick Bryce Brentz was described as the best power hitting prospect (no surprise, given the Sox' description of him as someone with light-tower power after drafting him), and was also noted for being potentially the best defensive player taken by the Sox, someone with a chance to be an above-average right-fielder.
–No surprise to see that Anthony Ranaudo, who received a $2.55 million bonus as a sandwich pick out of LSU, was named in the Closest to the Majors category. He was joined, however, by a less-heralded colleague who agreed to sign with the Sox at almost exactly the same moment as Ranaudo.
Both Ranaudo and left-hander Chris Hernandez agreed to deals with the Sox with roughly two minutes left before the Aug. 16 signing deadline. And while Ranaudo could be on a fast-track to a big league rotation, the Report Card suggested that Hernandez could beat Ranaudo to the majors as a left-handed reliever.

Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan expressed shock over the news of the mass shooting incident at the midnight premiere of the new Batman movie "The Dark Knight Rises".
A man opened fire at a theatre in suburban Denver Friday, killing 12 people, and leaving many others wounded.
The suspect reportedly claimed to be the fictional archenemy of Batman during the investigation and told police he was "the Joker".
"Each day something disturbing appears. Saw live footage of Colorado killings... gunman dressed as Batman saying he was 'the Joker'," Big B tweeted.
The man had a rifle, a handgun and a gas mask when police arrested him. The incident has shocked people across the world and Indian celebrities, including actress Madhuri Dixit, who stayed in Denver after her marriage in 1999, and jewellery designer Farah Khan Ali, have condemned it.
"My heart goes out to the families," tweeted Madhuri.

are some of the already known players ready to go nuclear in 2008?
Jimmy Clausen, QB Notre Dame
Of course, this is assuming he actually wins the job. Clausen was
last year's overhyped prep quarterback of the moment, and while no one's
ever as good as the press clippings, at least right away, he never had a
chance. Thrown to the wolves as a true freshman, he had one of the
nation's most porous lines to work behind and a deep-green receiving
corps to throw to. No, 1,254 yards, seven touchdowns, six interceptions,
and job insecurity isn't what everyone had in mind, and no, he's not
going to be Brady Quinn this season, but the overall experience will be
there all across the offense and yeah, he actually is good.
Brian Cushing, LB USC
After a tremendous, tenacious pass rushing season as an undersized
defensive end, Cushing moved to outside linebacker where he only made 25
tackles, mainly because he had a bum ankle that was never right. Even
with the mediocre season, he could've turned pro early and likely
would've been a top 50 pick. After undergoing ankle surgery, expect him
to grow into one of the nation's most productive defenders as he cleans
up everything Rey Maulauga doesn't get to.
James Davis & C.J. Spiller, RBs Clemson
Welcome to the new Darren McFadden/Felix Jones, Ronnie Brown/Carnell
Williams, Reggie Bush/LenDale White. Well, the Davis/Spiller tandem
isn't really like the former USC duo, but it'll be among the most
dangerous in the country after Davis reversed field and chose to return
for his senior season. A touchdown machine with 36, to go along with
3,130 yards, he's a tough back with speed. Spiller is a speed back with
speed. The junior toyed with the idea of transferring last year, but
chose to stick in Death Valley and ran for 768 yards and three
touchdowns. While he would've been a Heisman-stat superstar had Davis
left, Spiller will be more than effective as the No. 1A option in a
loaded offense.
Arian Foster, RB Tennessee
Following a major sophomore slump, thanks mostly to an ankle injury,
Foster came back roaring with a nice 1,193-yard, 12-touchdown season as
the steady leader of the Tennessee ground game. After flirting with
turning pro early, he wisely chose to return and now should be the focal
point of a Vol attack that's breaking in a new starting quarterback and
a new offensive coordinator. He's in the SEC, and he's not really a
home-run hitter, so there won't be Darren McFadden-like stats, but he
should be a consistent 100-yard performer.
Graham Harrell, QB Texas Tech
Kliff Kingsbury, B.J. Symons, Sonny Cumbie, Cody Hodges ... Texas
Tech has had a slew of marginally talented quarterbacks who put up big,
ridiculous numbers. Harrell is different. Oh sure, he's cranking out the
stats, leading the nation in total offense and throwing for 10,689 yards
and 89 touchdowns in just over two seasons, but he's an actual NFL
prospect. Sort of like Colt Brennan showed that he just wasn't a system
quarterback at Hawaii, Harrell might finally break through as he leads a
loaded offense that gets Bilitnikoff winner Michael Crabtree back and
loses just one starter, WR Danny Amendola. After throwing 48 touchdown
passes with 11 400-plus yard performances, he should be even better.
Chase Holbrook, QB New Mexico State & Chris Williams, WR New Mexico
After doing a little bit of thinking about jumping ship to
the NFL early, Holbrook chose to return for his final year after
realizing he'd likely have been a late second day pick. So far he's
thrown for 8,485 yards and 60 touchdowns with 27
interceptions in two seasons. However, after an ultra-efficient
sophomore season, he struggled with interceptions throughout
last season throwing 18, with two or more tossed in six games.
At 6-5 and 240 pounds, he has the size, he has the arm, and he
has the knowledge of the offense. Now with his prime receivers
returning, he should be in for a huge final season and should
take over for Colt Brennan as the WAC's big passing star.
Williams caught 56 passes for 772 yards and 11 touchdowns in just under
eight games, but it was that eighth, a win over Idaho, that cost him his
season suffering a broken collarbone. On the positive side, one of the
nation's quickest, most productive receivers is back for a final year
and, if he stay healthy, will be one of the nation's most productive
receivers. a wisp at only 5-8 and 157 pounds, he can't take too many big
shots, but he's uncoverable.
Jorvorskie Lane, RB Texas A&M
One of the nation's most unstoppable short-yardage forces over the
last few years, he was underutilized by the former coaching staff and
went bizarre stretches without getting the ball. Even so, he ran for 44
touchdowns in three years and has been terrific when given a chance to
be a workhorse. After slimming down this off-season, and with a new
coaching staff ready to give him the ball, the thunder will come on a
more regular basis.
George Selvie, DE South Florida
More like a big linebacker than a true defensive end, the 6-4,
242-pound junior went from making 84 tackles as a freshman to 58 as a
sophomore, but he blew up as a pass rusher with 14.5 sacks and a
nation-leading 31.5 tackles for loss. While put up the overall numbers,
he struggled late in the year coming up with just one sack in the final
five games once teams started putting everyone on him. He'll have to be
used to double and triple teams, but with an off-season to get stronger,
and with the national buzz generated, the pressure will be on from the
Willie Tuitama, QB Arizona
For what seems like the ninth season in a row, Tuitama is supposed
to be college football's next really big thing. A combination of
injuries and team inefficiency have kept him from becoming a special
player, but he has shown glimpses of greatness. Running a Texas
Tech-like spread passing game that he's had a year to figure out, the
opportunities will be there for a huge season. Throwing for 28
touchdowns and 3,683 yards were nice, but he has to start leading the
way to more wins. Those should finally start coming on a more regular
basis ... really.
Chris "Beanie" Wells, RB Ohio State
Ohio State has been a national punching bag after losing the
last two national championship games, but the ire hasn't been directed
at Beanie. With a scary combination of speed, power, and breakaway
ability, the junior, who's coming off a 1,605-yard, 15-touchdown season,
is on the true short list of Heisman candidates and will be a top 15
pick if he
chooses to come out next year. With a veteran line to work behind and a
loaded offense to take the heat off, the only thing keeping Wells from
an obnoxious-stat season will be the blowouts. He won't be playing in
most fourth quarters.

[In advance of publication September 2013 by Black Widow Press, co-edited by Heriberto Yépez & Jerome Rothenberg]
A Re-Vision of Jerome Rothenberg's Poetry and Poetics
Jerome Rothenberg's poetic work began in the late fifties. It was after his stay in Europe that his writing took the form of what would become a life-long program. His first published book, New Young German Poets (1959), already showed his characteristic interest in translation, poetics, avant-garde writing, and their relation to the human condition as a deeper presence restructuring the poem. Although his work can be associated with that of his early group—David Antin and Armand Schwerner, among others—Rothenberg's work is unique. He shares techniques, contexts and a literary/cultural field with others, but his ends are sui generis.
Translation from French by Jerome RothenbergThe scene – a vegetable garden almost smack in its center a well.
four little girls singing – we're not gonna go to the woods no more the laurel trees are down on the floor hey the beautiful babe will go pick them up then we'll come out to dance hey just like they dance oh you sing dance & hug anybody you want
[The news has just reached me of the sudden death of Kevin Power, a friend of mine for over forty years & an independent writer & chronicler of contemporary poetry (particularly postwar/postmodern North American) & art (particularly Latin American & Spanish). British when we first met, he was for many years the distinguished chair of American Literature at the University of Alicante in Spain & a deputy director of the Museo Reina Sofía in Madrid. On September 15, 2011 I posted the following introduction to Where You're At: Poetics & Visual Art (for Alastair Johnston's Poltroon Press, 2011), his collection of eight interviews with American poets conducted in the mid-1970s as a mapping of American poetry during the second great awakening of twentieth-century poetry & art. The force of Kevin's interaction with & meticulous understanding of American poetry & poets is clear from this introduction & even more so from his role as interlocutor in the interviews themselves. Since Poems and Poetics wasn't then co-posted with Jacket2, I'm reposting this now as the most immediate homage I can offer to Kevin for the years of dedication & energy that he privileged me to share. (J.R.)]
[As originally published in Joris & Tengour, Poems for the Millennium, volume 4: The University of California Book of North African Literature, 2012] dirty and ugly they saw me there goes an empty head they saidin fact I am more like an open book there's much useful stuff inside this head*o my heart I burn you and if you want I will do moreo my heart you shame me because you like who doesn't like you.
neither think nor search too much don't always be despondentthe planets are not fixed and life's not eternal
don't play with your best friend's feelings & if people insult him, ease his mindwho loves you, love him more but if he betrays you, don't ever be his friend again*

[From L. Haas, Pablo Tac, Indigenous Scholar, with art by James Luna, University of California Press, 2011.]
[NOTE. In a too short life, Pablo Tac (1820-1841) produced a rare work for his time: a completely indigenous study of Luiseño language & culture -- much more than what can be shown here. Writes Lisbeth Haas in her introduction about a work never translated or published before now: "As a historian and scholar, PabloTac defied the dominant ideas expressed about Luiseño and other indigenous people under Spanish colonialism. His work used categories of analysis such as 'dance' that offered an indigenous way of understanding Luiseño society during the colonial and Mexican eras in California, from 1769 to 1848. Born in Mission San Luis Rey de Francia in 1820, Tac devised a way to write Luiseño from his study of Latin grammar and Spanish, and in so doing he captured many of the relationships that existed between Luiseños during his youth. Drawing on local knowledge, traditions, and ideas, his writing leaves traces of Luiseño spiritual practice and thought, while also revealing the relations of power and authority that existed within his indigenous community."]

Frederick Law Olmsted Made Parks an Essential Part of American Life
Thursday, June 19, 2014
Frederick Law Olmsted was among the first to raise landscape architecture to a profession and a fine art. He was co-designer of Central Park, head of the first Yosemite commission, leader of the campaign to protect Niagara Falls, designer of the U.S. Capitol Grounds, site planner for the Great White City of the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition, planner of Boston's "Emerald Necklace" of green space, and created park systems in many other cities. Olmsted believed a park was both a work of art and a necessity for urban life. Lawrence Hott discusses his documentary "Frederick Law Olmsted: Designing America," about Olmsted's efforts to preserve nature and create an "environmental ethic" decades before the environmental movement. "Frederick Law Olmsted: Designing America" premieres Friday, June 20, on PBS—it airs at 10:30 on Channel 13 in New York.
Guests:Lawrence Hott
Comments [3]
Schedule for the tv broadcast was wrong on the show and on the website.
The only mannerism worse than the pretentious historical present is the distraction of alternating between the past and the historical present.
The worst thing to happen to Central Park recently is the vile "Facebook-ization" of the park benches; where every bench has a plaque on it commemorating some non-event or death, or even worse, the romance of some unknown person. This is absolutely horrible; a park bench is supposed to be a quiet anonymous place and not where someone shoves their ego or grubby little life event in your face just because they gave some money to the CP Conservancy. Disgusting. It's not enough to help the park, you have to have your little ego trip on a plaque on the bench. I see this as the direct result of Facebook and other social media crapola which have reduced civic appropriateness to zero.

Bihar Speaker non-committal on status of 13 'rebel' MLAs
Refuting the charge of conspiring to split the Lalu Prasad-led Rashtriya Janata Dal, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar said in Patna on Tuesday that the crisis in the RJD was their own doing.
"They (RJD) are blaming outsiders for the crisis in their party. Actually their house is on fire because of a short circuit and they are blaming others for the fire. The Speaker's house was attacked and unparliamentarily language was used against him," Mr. Kumar said on his return to Patna from Delhi.
Earlier, Bihar Assembly Speaker Uday Narayan Choudhary denied that his circular, which recognised 13 'rebel' RJD MLAs as a separate bloc, was in violation of the Constitution or the Anti-defection law. Going on backfoot, he said the circular was "an interim decision". He also remained non-committal over the status of the 13 MLAs. "We are examining the matter. A final decision will be taken later," Mr. Choudhary said when asked if the 13 MLAs were still a part of the RJD in light of the circular.
"On February 24, I took an interim decision which means the final decision was to come later. I gave an interim recognition to a separate bloc, which is fully under the ambit of law. No illegality has taken place. I am also studying the declarations (of allegiance to RJD) of nine MLAs. In their appeals, they have not denied signing the earlier letter expressing the wish to merge with the Janata Dal (United)," he told a press conference at his residence in Patna. He said he had verified all the signatures by meeting each of the 13 MLAs.
On the requirement of two-third MLAs as per the Anti-defection law, the Speaker remarked, "Human errors happen." He denounced the stone-throwing outside his house as a pressure tactic to "threaten and intimidate" for the scheduled caste community, to which he belongs. "The stones thrown at my house were not directed at the Speaker, but at me as a person from the Dalit community. They thought an SC person cannot have knowledge of the Constitution," he said. As for Lalu Prasad's accusations against Mr. Choudhary of having Naxal links, the Speaker said, "I am being humiliated. They should prove the allegations." He denied the RJD's charge that he had taken the decision to recognise the separate bloc under Mr. Kumar's pressure.

This is my husband's absolute favorite desert. I made it once when it first came out and he has asked for it every holiday since then!
I have made this recipe about 10 times now. EVERYONE loves it. While in England I made it for friends, one of whom dislikes most desserts and only eats trifle and even he loved it! The only thing I do that isn't in the recipe is that I sprinkle a little sugar and a splash of orange juice on the fruit and leave it in the fridge overnight or for a few hours. Or course not with the raspberries. I also make in a flag shape. Flags...stars..it's always a hit.
Fabulous 4th of July recipe! Will make again and again. Houston,TX
Fabulous recipe. Definitely worth the extra money for the white balsamic. Great way to use up extra egg yolks!
What did I do wrong? I tried to make sure that the vinegar was reduced to half its original volume, but perhaps I did not reduce enough? I don't know... The custard turned out really relaly REALLY tart, very "vinegary." Difficult to eat.
This was my first tart and it was fabulous, even though I cheated and used a purchased graham-cracker crust. I found the balsamic a tiny bit too strong (maybe I didn't use enough fruit) and sprinkled the fruit with a little sugar before serving. I topped with kiwi, strawberry, and blackberry and it was fabulous!
This tart is fabulous and not too sweet (thanks to the balsamic reduction). When I first made the custard, it looked "gummy" and I was tentative, but it spreads thinly over the equally yummy shortbread-like crust. It is great and I look forward to trying this recipe again with other fruits or no fruit at all.
The tangy yet rich custard balances perfectly with the sweet berries and light crust. A real winner -- and visually stunning!
Brought this to a 4th of July barbeque yesterday and everyone raved about it. Simple to make and presents beautifully.
This recipe is a reminder of the old fashioned vinegar pie, but with a very sophisticated update! I use the tart crust recipe here for other "pies" and the white balsamic vinegar custard tastes great with all kinds of berries and even peaches!

"A cracking apartment set in a beautiful location"
This was my second stay at the Oasis de Capistrano and that in itself speaks volumes as I normally don't like to do repeat visits to holiday destinations. Why go back? Well the location is beautiful; the grounds are stunning and the pool clean and well maintained. The apartment is well equipped, sleeps four comfortably and has a good size balcony, which is a little sun trap.
The local beach with its many bars and restaurants is within walking distance of the apartment (approximately 15 minutes), but if you wish to drive to the beach there are plenty of free parking bays along the promenade, Nerja town centre is a little further away, but still well within walking distance and there are plenty of shops bars and restaurants here to cater for all tastes.
This holiday location is perfect for anyone who wants a restful and relaxing holiday free from the stresses of modern day life.

"Wonderful apartment in a beautiful, peaceful location"
My husband & I stayed at '13 Casablanca' for a a short visit recently. We have been visiting Nerja for years & I can honestly say Oasis de Capistrano is the best Urbanisaton we have come across. Great location, immaculately kept pools & gardens and the apartment was perfect for our visit - clean, comfortable, with all mod cons & a wonderful view. We would definitely recommend it!
Thank you for your review, I agree Oasis de Capistrano is the best kept Urbanisation in Nerja thanks to our fantastic gardeners!

"Well set up"
The apartment is nicely positioned in the Oasis estate, which must be one of the best kept and attractive in and around Nerja, with its tall palms, beautiful flowering shrubs and trimmed lawns. The apartment is well set up. The beds are comfortable. The bathroom has a great shower. The kitchen and dining areas are a decent size. The TV offers a host of English language stations. The generous terrace faces south and is not overlooked by any of the neighbours. We had absolutely no difficulties in making the booking or accessing the property. We dealt with Paula, the owner, over the phone and she is warm, friendly and very helpful.
Thank you for your kind words, I am delighted you enjoyed your stay and the appartment catered for all your holiday requirements.

"Spacious, comfortable, clean villa. Highly recommended."
We have just returned from a family holiday staying at Casablanca .
2 adults and 2 children.
The villa is in a great location. Spacious rooms, fully equipt with everything we required. Very clean and comfortable.
Wonderful terrace to sit and relax in the sun, admiring the lovely views... a real sun trap, (rear terrace also if you prefer a little shade).
Grounds and pool area well maintained. The owner was very helpful, arranging our taxi to collect us from the airport. Will definitely stay again. Highly recommended.
Thank you for your review, I am glad you and your family had a great time and hope you will return again soon. :)

Will I purchase in the future if they change it? Absolutely

I understand what everyone is saying and, sure, everyone can have an opinion. My point is that they ran it the way they wanted to by telling everyone up front the tag would have to be purchased and didn't force anyone to buy tickets, so why gripe, moan and groan about the way they did it! It could be that in order to do what you guys are talking about that they would have not been able to get it approved and off the ground, so rather than risk that they went this way with it. Yes, I agree that they probably could get a lot more NR support for it if it's a straight up raffle without having to pay the high NR tag fess. However, the way they did it is pretty dang good when a guy that won can hunt anywhere, with a few exceptions, through every season for the particular animal he put in for.

Hanley Ramirez out of the lineup with lingering elbow pain
Sep 17, 2010, 5:19 PM EDT
Following an off day yesterday Hanley Ramirez wanted to be in the Marlins' lineup tonight despite a sore left elbow, but manager Edwin Rodriguez opted to rest him:
His elbow was sore on Wednesday, so on Wednesday he said he'd try to play and I didn't like what I saw. He came in today and said he was ready to play but he's pretty much in the same condition he was on Wednesday. So, I decided not to play him. He said he couldn't check swing. It was affecting starting to swing and finishing the swing.
Ramirez has been bothered by elbow pain for the past couple weeks now, but has hit .320/.424/.500 this month while missing just one previous start. Emilio Bonifacio is starting at shortstop and leading off in his absence and Ramirez is expected to be back in the lineup tomorrow.

Batting around .300 with 21 homers and 75 ribbies, this would have been a pretty good season for most ballplayers but it has been a substandard year for Hanley, about 40 BA points off his pace from last year. It seems to me that perhaps he's been hurting and keeping much of it to himself this season, even if some of the hot-dog derision he's had to listen to had a bit of substance to it.
Knowing that Hanley has already signed his fat extension for the next few years, I'm rather less inclined than I would have been to think that Scrooge McLoria had that hideous "341" amulet he gave Hanley at the beginning of the season (and which Hanley has generally had the good taste not to wear) cursed by a local Santera to drive down the guy's arbitration haul.
- Old Gator - Sep 17, 2010 at 11:55 PM
Well, since Craig isn't serving up an ATH tomorrow morning, I suppose I ought to report tonight that the Feesh quit on Edwin Rodriguez and played like they had poopy in their pants tonight. They played with all the enthusiasm of a Democratic pollster. Carlos Marmol dug himself a hole but whiffed Cousins with a ball in the dirt to end a threat in the ninth, keeping a 2-0 win for Ryan Dempster from the dumpster. The Feesh were a model of situational non-hitting tonight, wasting another really good start from rookie Alex Sanabia (who is proving a really pleasant and unexpected surprise) and failing miserably to take advantage of a couple of Cubs fielding fudges. And as a reward, splat! The Feesh find themselves unable to resist the enticements of the Strange Attractor – for the twenty third time this season. I guess they feel there's stability in equilibrium.
There's also a different, and more gratifying, form of equilibrium that comes from having position players actually playing at their positions. Is it truly beyond the realm of possibility that the Feesh will score an actual third baseman, even at a discount, to play third base next season, or will they insist on returning Chris Coghlan, with his bionic knee, to el rincon caliente?

From the article: Child Abandoment: How to Help a Child Cope
Unfortunately, custody visitation plans aren't always written in stone. Things come up, plans change--and, in the process, little hearts get broken. When this has happened to your child--either because custody visitation plans were changed for a legitimate reason, or because the other parent has become a repetitive "no show," what have you learned to say or do what has been particularly helpful for your child? Share your thoughts here.
Texts Each Month
- My son is four, and I'm pregnant with my second child. His dad dropped him off over a year ago and said he didn't want to ever see him again. Right in front of our son! Now that I'm pregnant, he now "wants" him back. But he only texts me every month to let me know that I "ruined his life." He has made some plans to come over and spend time with our son, but he never texts then or shows up. The only time I hear from him is when I've apparently done something wrong. It's always about child support and how I'm a bad parent for spending the little $81 every two weeks on our son. I've dealt with the questions: "Does my daddy hate me?" and "Why does that boy have a daddy?" It's heartbreaking. But I tell him that he has so many people in his life that are worth a million daddies. Sometimes it works, but other times I just have to say some daddies aren't ready to be daddies. It's still a struggle, and I don't put down his dad. But we make it through...
- —Guest fed up
No Shows
- My son is 5 now, and for the last year has not seen his dad. Well, on Friday - out of the blue - he showed up (and, yes, I keep track of who's weekend it is ). He has tried telling me it's my fault, that I wouldn't tell so-and-so to pick him up... Well, needless to say, he asked our 5-year-old, "Do you want to come to my house?" My son said, "No, thank you. But you can visit with me." His dad so no. Me and my 5-year-old are close, and he does tell me, "Mom, my daddy don't love me." I try to say he does; it's just that the other baby takes up his time, but my son knows better. What can I do after a year of him not showing up, and now he wants to? And my son freaks out; he starts crying and screaming that he doesn't want to go.
- —Guest mom27
Fatherless Daughter
- All I can say is that the pain of not having a father physically around can be so unbearable. I hate my dad, and I remember being so jealous of other kids who did have a father-figure.
- —Guest Fatherless
He Left as Well
- All the theories in the world don't change the hurt of being abandoned. May God show them in tenfold what they've done to their children!
- —Guest S
She Doesn't Miss What She Never Had
- My daughter is 13 now. Her dad left when she was 6 months old. He never came back, never paid any support, never asked to see her or ever sent her a birthday card. Its like she just wasn't anyone he ever knew. She is happy, healthy, caring, kind hearted, and a very loving person. I'm proud to be her mom! She was told her dad wasn't ready to be a dad. He wanted to have fun with his friends and not have to pay bills all the time, so he left. She understood and has never asked about him. She is loved and she knows that I've worked hard to make her content. It's his loss!
- —Guest pa mom
"You Should Have Picked a Better Dad..."
- Yep, that's what my daughter said to me after (yet again) her father failed to call. Fortunately/unfortunately he has no legal rights to our child whatsoever, but I try to keep the contact. It's hard to see your child suffering and know that ultimately your choices brought this on. So we deal with the disappointment and the anger. I try to always create our "Special" time at least three times a week. We'll go have ice cream, to a movie, or a park. I always tell my daughter that her father loves her, but sometimes he just doesn't think. That leads into a discussion of the "How comes?" "How come daddy doesn't call, see me, care...?" The list goes on. So I try to focus on the good things and I always tell her how thankful and grateful I am to have her. I tell her that I must have done something very special for God to have given her to me. Then she smiles and our lives go on, until the next time her father calls (which is usually months later) and we repeat the process.
- —2staypasitive
None of that works
- None of this stuff works with a stubborn kid when he just lost his dad. I am a teenager and yes I did just have my dad walk out on my family of 8. Before this we had an example family my oldest brother was valedictorian at our 5a high school, but now my grades have fallen because I can't ever sleep at night. My mom has taken me to therapy once and it was the stupidest thing ever and my mom doesnt have enough money for all that and supplying for us. You see she doesn't work so times are getting really tough. And my dad just recently got a job in Tennessee which means i will problably never see him again.
- —Guest T.S.
"I Wish I Had a Daddy"
- I have custody of both my grandchildren. One is a 6-year-old boy and the other is a 9-year-old girl. The girl used to have to take a lot of cruel words from kids after school at day care, telling her that she is a loser because she doesn't have a Dad. I told her she does have a father. Our Heavenly Father and he will always love her and never forsake her. She still wishes for an earthly father, but I told her that God will send her the right one, when the time is right.
- —Guest Deborah
Dealing with Absence
- I have two beautiful children. One is 7, and he has been abandoned by his father since July of 2006, and before then had only had 6 supervised visits from 2004-2006. My daughter is 3 1/2 and ever since we moved from my ex-finance's back in 2008, he has been extremely absent with his biological daughter and abandoned my son. (He had been a close male figure for my son during the time we were together.) From time to time, sporadically, he will visit with my daughter only and possibly take her for a weekend day, or once in a while a one night sleepover. My son, who used to be included, has now been forgotten and dumped to the side by two selfish, inconsistent, unhealthy men. And these parents still have the right to visitation? The right to pick when they will parent, to become active in the child's life! It is unbelievable to me that more has not been done to protect our children. Become a fan on face book: "In Their Absence." Support our children, and let's raise awareness about emotional abuse!
- —In_their_absence
Dealing With No-Shows
- Unfortunately, this is a situation we deal with often. My boys are young (4 and 2) so I try to keep things vague and not tell them when Dad is coming until the last minute. When I do tell them, I make sure to frame it as "Daddy is going to TRY to see you this weekend." When he cancels, I try to get him to talk to the boys, but he usually refuses. Even if he gives them a lame or vague excuse, it does help for them to hear it from him. As others have said, I don't ever bad-mouth him. Just "Daddy thought he'd be able to see you today, but something happened, and he'll see you again soon." I tell them that it's OK to be sad or disappointed, and then try to spend some extra quality time with them to make up for it. It still breaks my heart when my 4 year old says, "Daddy told us he was coming, but he lied."

Always Have a Backup Plan
- I have learned through experience that a backup plan is a must. If you have a plan and don't use it, save the idea for another time, because you will need it eventually. I also think age-appropriate, frank, and honest feedback should be given to the child, as you do not want to affect your bond with them by covering up for the other parent. Especially if your child is old enough to "connect the dots" with the date and time of the visit, you have to provide some type of response. Heartbreak is unavoidable, so be prepared. Also, the backup doesn't have to be anything BIG, but it should be something just for them. For example, if you were planning to do errands, squeeze in a short trip to the park or the library. I always keep craft supplies on hand, so I usually take a portion of my day to make something if that is the case. Perhaps a special lunch or dinner (out or at home) can be done. I have learned to keep my plans flexible, just in case. As the primary caregiver it is a must.

Cancellations and No-Shows
- It happens to my kids a lot. Here's what I do: 1) If they don't ask, I don't tell them when he's coming until the last minute, just to avoid let-down. 2) If they do ask, I say,"He said he'll be here Monday at 11." 3) When he cancels, I tell them exactly what he said: "Dad called to say he has a flat tire and can't make it." If possible, I ask him to talk to them. 4) I empathize with their feelings without editorializing his behavior. 5) If they ask questions or are upset, I ask if they want to call and leave him a voice mail (because he won't answer the phone) or write him a letter. 6) I don't trash their dad. Instead, I'll find a quiet moment after the let-down to tell them their dad loves them and that he has problems that aren't their fault. I remind them that his problems are about him, not them, and that we all hope he gets better, but that only he can make that happen. I also remind them that they have many people they can count on, such as our family and friends.

I Wish I Had a Daddy...
- When your child says, "I wish I had a daddy," it feels like someone just ripped your heart out, knowing that the absent parent chooses to be absent. In my case, "Dad" pays support, and that's great. However, when my son cries out for his daddy, I have to gently explain that he doesn't want to be a daddy right now, and it makes me sad, too. I then ask him if he would like to send him an email or give him a call to let him know how he feels. Usually, the answer is no, but you'd be surprised how uncomfortable the other parent feels when they have to answer to their own child.

Canceled Plans
- Ordinarily what I do is have the noncustodial talk to him on the phone so I won't be the bearer of bad news. If it's because he's sick, then I'll explain that to him (if he doesn't get to talk to his dad). Occasionally, though, something will come up like he has an appointment or something, and he can't come get him. In that case, I'll explain to my son that dad is far away and didn't expect his appointment to run over. This instance was actually one of the few times that probably couldn't have been helped, but he did let me know ahead of time that it was a possibility. My son was disappointed, though, because they were supposed to do something fun, so he was actually mad. I just basically explained it wasn't his dad's fault, and that most of time he is able to come get him. Unfortunately, things happen.
