Narendra Modi has made plans for Gujarat till 2030, says Anandiben Patel
Narendra Modi has chalked out detailed plans for Gujarat that will last till 2030, said Anandiben Patel, Gujarat's revenue minister and one of the front-runners for chief minister's chair, while launching three of the four books to be launched on Modi at Ahmedabad on Friday.
Talking about the vision of BJP's prime-ministerial candidate at a book launch event organised at the Rifle Club here, Patel, a considered to be a close confidant of Modi, said, "His vision encompasses both the common man and industrialists…. In fact, he has made advance plans for Gujarat till 2030. He has mapped out the requirements of the state with regard to the rise in population, electricity, roads, requirement for water, etc. His government has already put all these plans (till 2030) in place."
Anandiben Patel recounted various instances from Modi's public life while addressing an audience at the book launch event that consisted a number of BJP functionaries including BJP's treasurer in Gujarat Surendra Patel, the president of BJP's minority cell Sufi MK Chisty and Mahesh Mehta, founder of VHP in the United States. "I have seen him from close quarters during the last 16 years. He used to guide us even when we were part of the Mahila Morcha wing of the party," said Patel while narrating how the chief minister of Gujarat lives in a 10 by 10 room and how he works till ten in the night.
Patel who was also a cabinet minister in Keshubhai Patel's government also talked about the happenings inside the close-door cabinet meetings that are chaired by Mod, every week on Wednesday. "In the past, cabinet meetings used to last for just 30 minutes, but Modi holds meetings that go on for three hours. Ministers have to remain alert about the possible questions they may face. We used to go prepared with our homework," said the minister who launched three books all published by the same publishing firm.
The books launched at this event include, "Leading a Billion — Narendra Modi" written by French Author Chantal Ardino who apparently did not make it to the event because of a shoulder injury she suffered a fortnight ago. "This is a English version of the book she wrote in French a couple of years ago. Seventy percent cost of this book has been borne by Sufi MK Chisty who is the president of BJP's minority cell," said Urvish Kantharia, the publisher who has printed 500 copies of the book.
Interestingly, Kantharia has himself written one of the three books (titled: For the people — Narendra Modi) that was launched at this event at Rifle Club on Friday. "This book was launched in 2013 on the e-book platform of Amazon," said Kantharia. The third book is the Gujarati version of Kantharia's book that has titled "Lokmanav — Narendra Modi" that has been translated by Maulik Joshi who …continued »

Philip NOT Out, But Over
Virtual Worlds News: Feature: Industry Reacts to Linden Lab CEO Shuffle with Cautious Optimism
So Philip Rosedale is stepping down as CEO, and my prediction following Cory's "resignation" was at least half-right. I figured that pushing Cory out was a move designed to make the company more attractive to Wall St. I'd guessed that Philip would step down as CEO (correct) and take over the CTO role (thus far, incorrect — he wants to be Chief Vision Officer, or some such).
The reasoning was simple, and apparently other industry insiders agree — a new CEO and/or CTO would be more focused on profitability and growth than on chasing cool ideas or open sourcing key elements — not that either is necessarily bad, but Wall St. likes one slightly more than the other — guess which…
But now it makes much less business sense that he canned Cory first, since the new CEO might have loved Cory and even welcomed the added continuity. It seems to me that the real reason for canning Cory first might be just that — Phillip knew he was soon giving up substantial day-to-day power — a strong CTO with developers on his side can trump a Chief Vision Officer with a portfolio of, um, grand ideas (and a dwindling majority of stock — proxy fights suck). Basic board-room politics, or preparation thereof. I predict the new CTO will be someone with good management skills, strong loyalty, and not much of a technical visionary.
Or, maybe it's all just part of the same house-cleaning some investment bankers might have urged him to do.
It's all speculation on my part. But despite my continuing respect for Phillip and everyone at Linden for all they've done, I'm quite glad I didn't actually wind up working there again. I found out at GDC that with all the stock dilution and prolonged wait for a "liquidity event," the company had to issue another round of stock options to the key employees, with another apparently four year vest. Eight plus years of waiting to fully vest is pretty out there. Talk about dedicated employees.
Well, I'm looking forward to seeing what Cory does next. Alas, Linden is now more of a morbid curiosity.
Sometimes, when I work on a project, there's nothing we can publicly show until the product launches. And sometimes, by the time the product gets attention, I'm off working on the next big thing and can't enjoy the show, except by proxy.
In this case, Big Stage has partnered with SonyBMG & YouTube to bring you a free sneak preview of our technology. Needless to say, we're all very excited to see how it goes.
The process is pretty simple from your point of view: you take and upload three slightly different digital photos of your face to MichaelJackson.com (account registration required), wait an hour or so while our big iron servers do some really heavy math, and then you receive an email telling you the YouTube URL of your finished personalized Thriller video, which you can share as you wish.
That's it.
The result will be something like this — though imagine your own face in place of my 7 month old son's — and note: it's not really designed for kids' faces:

The techniques for high- and low-warp work (haute-lisse and basse-lisse) differ; both were used in the 14th cent. In a high-warp loom the threads are stretched vertically in front of the weaver, and the lisses or loops which raise the alternate threads to make the shed are lifted by hand; in low-warp work, the warp threads are horizontal, and the lisses are moved by means of a foot treadle. The strong warp threads of wool or linen may vary from 10 to 30 in an inch (3 to 12 per cm), but are ordinarily fewer than 20 (8 per cm). The soft, full weft threads of wool, silk, or metal entirely cover the warp, which remains apparent in the form of ribs.
In true tapestry, the front and back surfaces are alike, except that portions of the design of the same color are connected by a loose thread that is left hanging at the back. The different colors of the design, being worked in separately in blocks or patches, leave little slits between, which are afterward sewn up. All are woven with the back to the weaver, who sees nothing of his work until it is finished, unless he uses a mirror to reflect it. A cartoon or painting on linen or paper, often by a noted artist, is provided for the weaver to copy. Themes for medieval hangings were drawn from ancient legends, mythology, allegory, history, religion, chivalry, and sport.
Antique specimens of tapestry weaving include a few surviving from Egypt of 1500 B.C. and Coptic tapestries made from the 4th to 8th cent. A.D. The Incas of Peru produced beautiful specimens, some of which date back to the pre-Columbian era. Ancient Chinese tapestries, k'o ssu, were made of light, thin silks, often interwoven with gold thread. Allusions in early Greek poetry and paintings on Greek vases show that tapestry weaving was an important household industry.
The history of tapestry weaving is continuous. In the 5th cent. A.D. and in the centuries immediately afterward, monasteries and convents were the centers of the craft. Woolen tapestries appeared early in Europe. A few fragments woven in this material in the 10th or 11th cent. are still preserved. (The so-called Bayeux tapestry was actually embroidered.) At Arras, early in the 14th cent., the first great French weaving was done, in wool. Soon Brussels achieved prominence and remained important through the 17th cent., until the rise of the Gobelins works at Paris.
By the 15th cent., tapestry weaving had reached a high degree of perfection, and from this century date many great Gothic sets rich with gold thread. A fine specimen is the set of Burgundian Sacraments; a late 15th-century example of a verdure background is the Lady and the Unicorn set (Musée de Cluny). An example of the Renaissance period is the widely acclaimed set, the Acts of the Apostles, from the cartoons of Raphael. Fine weaving was done at Beauvais in the mid-17th cent. Weavers at Aubusson, France, began in the 16th cent. to make an inferior textile that was gradually improved. The baroque style dominated the 17th cent.; the rococo and classical styles appeared in the 18th cent. Fine examples were woven from the cartoons of François Boucher, who worked both for the Beauvais and the Gobelins looms.
In England much tapestry, known as Arras, was used before any was manufactured there. In the 16th cent. William Sheldon set up works in Warwickshire. An establishment in imitation of the Gobelins was opened at Mortlake in 1619 and employed Flemish weavers. In 1881, William Morris began weaving at Merton; his friend Edward Burne-Jones designed some of Morris's series. In 1893 tapestry looms were set up in New York City. Some interesting 20th-century tapestries have been woven in France from cartoons by Rouault, Braque, Lurçat, Picasso, and Calder.
Important public collections in the United States that contain fine examples of tapestry weaving are those in the Metropolitan Museum (including the magnificent Hunt of the Unicorn series at the Cloisters) and in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
See M. Jarry, World Tapestry (1969); A. Pearson, Complete Book of Tapestry Weaving (1984); T. P. Campbell, Tapestry in the Renaissance (2002).
Tapestry is a form of textile art. It is woven by hand on a vertical loom. It is weft-faced weaving, in which all the warp threads are hidden in the completed work, unlike cloth weaving where both the warp and the weft threads may be visible. In this way, a colourful pattern or image is created. Most weavers use a naturally based warp thread such as linen or cotton. The weft threads are usually wool or cotton, but may include silk, gold, silver, or other alternatives.
Both craftsmen and artists have produced tapestries. The 'blueprints' on cardboard (also known as 'tapestry cartoons') were made by artists of repute, while the tapestries themselves were produced by craftsmen.
The success of decorative tapestry can be partially explained by its portability. Kings and noblemen could roll up and transport tapestries from one residence to another. In churches, they could be displayed on special occasions. Tapestries were also draped on the walls of castles for insulation during winter, as well as for decorative display.
In the Middle Ages and renaissance, a rich tapestry panel woven with symbolic emblems, mottoes, or coats of arms called a baldachin, canopy of state or cloth of state was hung behind and over a throne as a symbol of authority. The seat under such a canopy of state would normally be raised on a dais.
The iconography of most Western tapestries goes back to written sources, the Bible and Ovid's Metamorphoses being two popular choices. Apart from the religious and mythological images, hunting scenes are the subject of many tapestries produced for indoor decoration.
Tapestry reached a new stage in Europe in the early fourteenth century AD. The first wave of production originated in Germany and Switzerland. Over time, the craft expanded to France and the Netherlands.
In the 14th and 15th centuries, Arras, France was a thriving textile town. The industry specialised in fine wool tapestries which were sold to decorate palaces and castles all over Europe. Few of these tapestries survived the French Revolution as hundreds were burnt to recover the gold thread that was often woven into them. Arras is still used to refer to a rich tapestry no matter where it was woven.
By the 16th century, Flanders had become the centre of European tapestry production. In the 17th century Flemish tapestries were arguably the most important productions, with many specimens of this era still extant, demonstrating the intricate detail of pattern and colour.
In the 19th century, William Morris resurrected the art of tapestry-making in the medieval style at Merton Abbey. Morris and Company made successful series of tapestries for home and ecclesiatical uses, with figures based on cartoons by Edward Burne-Jones.
Tapestries are still made at the factory of Gobelins and a few other old European workshops, which also repair and restore old tapestries. The craft is also currently practiced by hobbyist weavers.
The term Tapestry is also used to describe fabric made on jacquard looms. Tapestry upholstery fabrics and reproductions of the famous tapestries of the Middle Ages are a common products of jacquard looms. Kilims and Navajo Rugs are also types of tapestry work.

I believe this was a great interview because Ms. Martin worked for 2 different industries. She was successful in both and seemed to really enjoy her first job but her priorities changed and she had to change careers. I believe Ms. Martin was very successful because she knew a career is not everything.
Ms. Martin graduated from Florida State University with an Undergraduate degree in Marketing. She worked in telecommunications for 16 years. She later earned her master at University of West Georgia in teaching. She now works for Fayettte County School as a speech pathologist.

St. Louis 1904
Like the Paris Games before them, The 1904 St Louis Olympics were part of a larger event, the World Fair, and events were drawn out over four and a half months. The 1904 Olympic Games were the first at which gold, silver and bronze medals were awarded for first, second and third place. Boxing, freestyle wrestling, decathlon and a dumbbells event all made their debuts on the programme.
Even so Len Tau and Jan Mashiani represented the first African participation in an Olympics. American gymnast George Eyser produced perhaps the most astounding individual performance by claiming six medals even despite possessing a wooden left leg. Great Britain's Tom Kiely won gold in the men's decathlon and John Daly claimed silver in the 3000m steeplechase.

Who knew that eating ice cream could be so erotic? Popsicles, hot dogs, bananas—sure. Maybe even kebabs. But two scoops of rocky road?
One of the more unusual stories I've read out of Israel, courtesy of the Daily Mail:
An ultra-orthodox Jewish sect trashed a Jerusalem ice cream parlour because they were disgusted by people licking cones in public believing it promotes promiscuity.
The owners of the Zisalek parlour in the Mea Shearim neighbourhood had put up posters asking people not to consume the snacks in public and installed separate entrances for men and women.
But religious zealots from the ultra strict Sikrikim sect did not believe the measures went far enough and broke in during the night to vandalise the premises.
Part of me hopes that this story is true, unlike the fake story about rabbis sentencing a dog to death by stoning because it carried the spirit of a cursed lawyer. But the rest of me hopes that this story is just as false because it is otherwise another indictment that ultra-Orthodox Jews are really out of touch with civilized life in Israel.
It's one thing to actually think that ice cream cones make people horny and lead to sin. But it's something far more extreme to trash an ice cream parlor in the name of G-d.

Newark Primary School case study
Inverclyde Council aimed to provide a modern, sustainable, flexible, well equipped new primary and nursery school on the site of the old Boglestone Primary School in Port Glasgow. The new school was to consolidate the existing Highholm, Slaemuir, and Clune Park primary schools, and Barmoss Nursery, to accommodate 594 primary school pupils and 80 am/pm nursery pupils when operating at full capacity. The school was conventionally procured as part of Inverclyde Council's ambitious school building programme (along with Inverclyde Academy, also included as a case study).
It was the aspiration of both Inverclyde Council and the design team to provide an exceptionally high quality education facility that would inspire the children and staff who use the facility on a daily basis. It was also intended that the new school would be seen as a landmark within the area and offer an outwardly positive statement to the people of Port Glasgow about the role of education in the community.
The school has been included as a case study as an excellent example of sustainable design and the commitment to utilise extensive user consultation throughout the design/build process.

Trystan made his first appearance on NextDoorMale quite a while ago. Since then, we've been flooded with requests to see him fuck a girl, so we had to deliver. So here he is, Trystan doing what he loves with Ruby.
The other day happened to be Ruby's birthday, so we decided to hook her up with the super-stud Trystan. He's young, hung and a really nice guy... if you didn't already know.
To start off, Trystan turns on some music and gives Ruby a strip show. Once nude, Ruby moves in for the kill and grabs a hold of his cock, which she begins to suck.
After getting head, Trystan goes down on her, licking and sucking her, making her squirm.
Once the two are sufficiently turned on, they begin to get it on. Trystan bends her over and fucks her hard. She then gets on top and rides him like a horse. The two switch positions throughout the scene and in the end, she's covered in cum and he's feeling drained but great.

Summary: Michael Johnson, Carl Lewis, Florence Griffith Joyner, Marita Koch, Donovan Bailey, Ben Johnson, Maurice Green. You know these names. These are the names of the greatest sprinters ever. We know them for their outstanding career achievements in general and incredible individual races in particular. This article tells about ten sprint races which we will remember forever.
1. Atlanta 1996. Men's 100-meter Olympic final.
It was the most exciting 10 seconds in sports history. The fastest sprinter of that time Donovan Bailey was the last one who left the blocks at the track of overcrowded stadium in Atlanta. And nobody in the world had time to understand that he could simply lose the main race of his life, because during the next ten seconds everybody's eyes were chained to the Olympic track, where the fastest man ever was showing a magnificent blend of explosive power and awesome athleticism.
Donovan Bailey crossed the finish line first to win 100-metre final in 9.84 seconds. It was not just the new world record, this record was set in Olympic final by the man who had the worst start among all finalists. Step by step he passed other sprinters and by finish line he leaved them all behind. If you have never seen this race, than just go to video section at www.sprintic.com and do it now.
2. Atlanta 1996. Men's 200-meter Olympic final.
Michael Johnson not just broke the 200-meter world record, he shattered it, leaving other competitors many steps behind by finish line. Even today his time of 19.32 seconds seems fantastic. But it's not only about the time, it is also about the look on Michael's face when he saw it was 19.32. And every time people see the photo of that moment they can feel his passion.
3. Seoul 1988. Men's 100-meter Olympic final.
Canadian Ben Johnson recorded a new world best of 9.79 secs and he stormed away from his arch-rival Carl Lewis. However, three days later it was revealed that Johnson had tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs and was disqualified.
4. Seville 1999. Men's 400-meter world record.
In retaining the world title in a time of 43.18 seconds Michael Johnson redefined the parameters of the one-lap event.
With the staggered start, it took a while for his performance to become apparent. But, running in his trademark hand-made golden spikes, he sailed off the top bend, leaving his rivals metres adrift.
For once, he pushed himself all the way to the line, roared on by a capacity crowd of 50,000 who gasped in astonishment when the time came up on the electronic scoreboard.
5. Indianapolis 1988. Women's 100-meter world record.
Florence Griffith-Joyner stunned the world when - known as a 200 m runner - she ran a new 100 m World Record of 10.49 in the quarter-finals of the US Olympic Trials. This record stands unchallenged to this day, and it will surprise no one if it remains in the books for another 20 years.
6. Seoul 1988. Women's 200-meter Olympic final.
Florence Griffith-Joyner set world record for 200 meters. Nobody could beat her time of 21.34 since then.
7. Athens 1999. Maurice Greene breaks the world record in 100 meters.
In 1999 Maurice Greene set new 100-meter world record of 9.79 seconds, beating Donovan Bailey's standing world record of 9.84, and lowering it by the largest margin since the advent of electronic timing. Also he proved that man could run 100-meter dash under 9.80 seconds without taking drugs.
8. Canberra 1985. Women's 400-meter world record.
During her career Marita Koch collected a remarkable 16 world records in outdoor sprints, as well as 14 world records in indoor events. On Otober 6, 1985 she set the current 400-meter world record of 47.60 seconds. 20 years ago from now nobody among the best female athletes could even think about such result.
9. Athens 2005. Men's 100-meter world record.
Asafa Powell set a world record in the men's 100 meters, clocking 9.77 seconds at the Tsiklitiria Super Grand Prix meeting. So far it was the fastest time ever.
10. Barcelona 1992. Men's 4x100m relay world record.
Mike Marsh, Leroy Burrell, Dennis Mitchell, Carl Lewis. Exactly in this order the fastest American athletes were running their laps at Olympic stadium in Barcelona. The American team completed the race in 37.40. This record still stands today.

Cartoon Network's Best Park in the Universe – Regular Show has just received its first ever content update.
Released just last May, Best Park in the Universe – Regular Show is a wacky fighting game based on the anything-but-regular Cartoon Network animated series "Regular Show."
Initially, the game featured only the show's blue jay and raccoon star duo, Mordecai and Rigby, as its playable characters. But thanks to its new update, you can now also play as the dwarfish, green-skinned fatty Mitch Sorenstein aka Muscle Man:
You asked for him, now you've got him! Unleash his fists of fury and pecs of punishment as he rampages through the bad guys. He comes with his own unique moves and skill tree, so it's a whole new ball game when Muscle Man hits the field. He even comes with new achievements you can earn.
If you can't see the video embedded above, please click here.
The new update also adds a fourth game world called The Resort, which contains five action-packed levels. As well, it adds a new Endless Enemies mode, which, as its name suggests, challenges you to endure wave after wave of enemies.
The new version of Best Park in the Universe – Regular Show is available now in the App Store as a free update or as a new $2.99 download. The game is compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad running iOS 5.0 or later.
For more information on the game, check out Battle Aliens And Monsters In Cartoon Network's Best Park In The Universe – Regular Show.

It means you've uninstalled it (the r), but the configuration files are

Aaron Spence selected as new Superintendant
When Aaron Spence arrives in February as the new Superintendent of Moore County Schools, he will take over a 22-campus system with a mixed record judging by this years S-A-T Scores . For example, on the test's critical reading and math portion, the county averaged a score of 1,025, 23 points lower than last year's average. Nevertheless, Moore County's scores in reading and math were still higher than the national average. On the test's writing portion, Moore County scored 481, down 13 points from last year, but still beat the state and national average. Susan Purser, who is retiring as Superintendent this month, says she is happy to see the school system maintaining scores above the state and national average. The county's slight drop in scores over the last two years is part of a larger national trend, which the college board attributes to the fact that a wider range of students are taking the test nationally. Purser says the increased numbers could possibly indicate more students are pursuing a college degree. For Incoming Superintendent Spence, who will be on the job starting in February, taking Moore County Students to the next level, should be right up his alley. He comes fresh from overseeing the operation of 35 high schools in Houston, Texas. During his time as Chief High School Officer, the district's 200,000 students saw an increase in science and math scores, while graduation rates rose to historic highs. Before settling on Spence, who holds a Doctorate In Educational Administration and Supervision, The Moore County School Board interviewed more than 25 highly qualified candidates. Said School Board Chairman Kathy Farren this week, announcing the selection, "Doctor Spence stood out from the very beginning."

The Architecture of Deconstruction
Nowhere, Mark Wigley asserts, are the stakes higher for deconstruction than in architecture—architecture is the Achilles' heel of deconstructive discourse, the point of vulnerability upon which all of its arguments depend.
By locating the architecture already hidden within deconstructive discourse, Wigley opens up more radical possibilities for both architecture and deconstruction. He tracks the tacit argument about architecture embedded within Jacques Derrida's discourse, a curious line of argument that passes through each of the philosopher's texts, provocatively turning Derrida's reading strategy back on his texts to expose the architectural dimension of their central notions like law, economy, writing, place, domestication, translation, spacing, laughter, and dance.
About the Author
Mark Wigley is Professor of Architecture at Columbia University.
"The many ever unexpected twists and turns of the dancingdeconstructivist...give the book its meaning. It is the'insistent indirectness' of the argument which is impresive.The current architectural discourse is not so much rejuvenatedby it, as rediscovered in all its magnitude and profundity...the ethical and political engagement of this text is never farto seek. Experiencing this intoxicating dance is a real delight,and that in itself vouches for its merit. This text is warmlyrecommended to architects, philosophers and to everyone else."
—Geert Bekaert, Archis Magazine

V8 Supercars driver Karl Reindler speaks about his fiery crash with Steve Owen in Perth
- From: FOX SPORTS
- May 02, 2011
V8 Supercars driver Karl Reindler has spoken out about about his fiery crash with Steve Owen in Perth.
The West Australian local was involved in one of the scariest moments in V8 Supercars history when a fireball erupted shortly after the start of race eight in Perth.
Steve Owen collided with the rear of the stricken Karl Reindler car after the Fair Dinkum Sheds driver stalled on the grid.
"I could feel my face burning," Reindler said.
"The flames came through the car and it was just terrifying at the time.
"I could feel the heat all around me and I was breathing in the fumes, I could feel my throat burning.
"It was a horrible experience, but I knew what I had to do to get out of the car.
"It seemed liked an eternity to get out, the seat had melted to my suit, the suit itself had melted to the seatbelt - I eventually got out but it seemed like such a long time until I actually got out."
Owen's team released information from his car's data logger which showed a massive 37G force during the crash, and the VIP Petfoods driver was taken to hospital some time after the crash complaining of abdominal pains.
Reindler will be seen by renowned Australian burns specialist Dr Fiona Wood as his recovery begins.

how do these compare with Bose companion 5?
- Asked by Andrew M
Focal XS Satellite Speakers
Product No Longer Available
2 Answers from the Community
Best Answer:
The Bose companion 5 plays louder but the Focal XS sounds better (it's pretty obvious on vocals)
- Answered by Annie Q from Montreal
I have had both sets of speakers and there is not much to choose between either of them. I will say thought that the Focal's like most other new speakers need a period of time to run in.

Holistic Yoga is derived from various traditions and contemporary arts. The philosophy of holistic yoga is to address all aspects of a person's health; mental, physical, and subtle. In a moving meditation we build strength and endurance while at the same time creating a sense of calm and quiet. As in the Sadhana Yoga Tradition (SchoolYoga Institute), focus is on the essence of yoga which is a tool to deepen the connection with our innermost Self, and from this place of connection we experience greater unity and harmony in all things.
The Holistic Asana approach follows a guideline format which suggests a few basic principles to make a balanced and whole yoga class, including meditation, intention/mantra, pranayama (breathing exercises), and asana (yoga postures). We use whole yoga guidelines when developing Hatha, Vinyasa or Restorative classes. We can also modify the class sequences to emphasize specific postures (e.g. a back-bending or hip-opening), or create specialty classes to meet the needs of the students (Pre-Natal, Children's Yoga, Physical Limitations, etc.)
Merging breath, balance, flexibility and strength, students learn self-healing techniques and find depth in their practice. Spinal integrity and bodily alignment are emphasized.
All students are welcome, beginner to advanced. Posture modifications are offered so students may find the desired level of intensity for their practice.

WILKES-BARRE – With 60 cellphones and 330 employees, is Wilkes-Barre extravagant or frugal in providing mobile connectivity? It depends what city you compare it to.
Scranton makes Wilkes-Barre look like a cellphone glutton, but that's been true for only about two years. Mayor Chris Doherty said the city stopped providing cellphones in January 2011, and There have been no problems at all. Everyone has a phone anyway.
But when the city did provide phones, it had 51 of them. With about 460 employees, that's enough devices for about 11 percent of the workforce, which still makes Wilkes-Barre look overly generous, where there are enough phones for 18 percent of the 330 employees.
Hazleton City Administrator Steve Hahn said the city provides about 15 phones, though he couldn't get the exact number given to police when called. With 110 employees, that's enough devices for about 14 percent.
Both Hahn and Doherty noted the city mayor and council are not provided with phones: Wilkes-Barre pays for phone service for the mayor and council members.
With nearly 76,000 residents and 25.3 square miles, Scranton is substantially larger than Wilkes-Barre, home to 41,465 people in just under 7 square miles. Hazleton is considerably smaller in population with 25,315 people in 6 square miles.
York more closely reflects Wilkes-Barre in population, with 43,884 people in 5.3 square miles. And York's cellphone largesse makes Wilkes-Barre look like a penny pincher: 129 phones for 371 employees, according to City Clerk Dianna Thompson-Mitchell. That's enough phones for nearly 35 percent of the workforce.
Thompson-Mitchell said the city has a cellphone-use policy but that it was in a different department and she could not access it when called.
Hahn said Hazleton does not allow private use of phones and if the phones are used for personal calls the employee must reimburse the city, though he conceded it can be difficult at times to police and enforce such a policy.
Doherty said when Scranton had phones, they all fell under one plan with the minutes pooled under a single limit. It didn't matter how much an individual used, as long as all employees collectively stayed under the limit each month.

"In talking with the course builders, they overbuilt all the features, so there's plenty of snow up there for us. Considering the conditions last year where it was snowing and raining at the same time, the conditions so far have been great," said one of the athletes.
"I'm expecting the course will be hard in the morning and fast, throughout the day it warms up and slows the course down a little bit.....We're snowboarders so we compete outdoors all year long snowing and raining or hot and sunny," said another teammate.
Alex Deibold didn't qualify for Vancouver. Instead he made the trip helping the team's equipment manger. Now, he's ready to compete.
"The Olympics is a totally different animal and I got to see how that worked before I got here as an athlete. I didn't have any pressure, I didn't have the spotlight on me, but I got to see how it worked, and that gives me a big advantage this time around over someone like Trevor or Jackie who hasn't been here before," said Deibold.
The men's event starts Monday morning with a time trial set for 11 a.m.

Going the distance to spruce yourself up is a huge turn-on. "Obviously, women love it when a man is fresh and clean," says Kathleen A. Cervenka, PhD, author of In the Mood, Again, "but a bit of added primping shows that you really care about being attractive to her."
First off, feel your face. If it's rough, give it a quick shave. Although the stubble look may be sexy, it can make her skin feel as if it's been through a cheese grater. For bonus points, consider trimming your down-there hairs too. It will allow easier access to your member and make it look bigger. If you have time, you may also want to squeeze in a second shower before bed so you're extra clean and sexy.
A Little TLC
You don't need to leave bling on the nightstand to make your girl feel like a princess-just help her relax. "Simple sensual gestures like massaging her neck and shoulders or slipping off her clothes will put her at ease, which gets her even more in the mood, says Pam Spurr, PhD, author of Make Love All Night and Talk to Him in the Morning. Trust us, you'll impress the panties off your girl- especially a new squeeze –by being so sensitive to her needs.
A Show of Appreciation
While you're thrusting away, your woman is sometimes left wondering if you even care that she's there. "To let her know that it's about her, not just sex recognize anything from her tongue technique to her beautiful body, "says Cervenka. "It will boost her sexual confidence and, in turn, increase her desire."
How do you stroke her ego without it sounding like BS? Try focusing on just one or two of her best features. "It will come across as more sincere if you're specific, so pick attributes like her breasts or butt and acknowledge those suggests Cervenka. Once you've made her feel sexy, you can tackle her talents, like how well she moves on top of you.
The Postcoital Cuddle
You may think it's a small thing, but to women, that bask-in-the-afterglow
snuggle time can mean the difference between so-so sex and kickass
experience. "Cuddling rounds out the session for a woman and
makes her feel more connected to you,"says Cervenka. So after
the action, give your girl a solid five minutes of spooning, Sure,
your arm might go numb, but at least she'll fall asleep with a smile
on her face.

My printable doll clothes are PDF files that can be printed onto regular printer paper, cut out, folded, fitted on the doll and taped together to create many fabulous outfits that fit most fashion dolls such as Barbie, Monster High, Ever After High, and many more.
In the picture above are 19 different sizes of dolls but with a little adaption to fit the largest and smallest of the dolls, they all can wear dresses made from my outfit sets.
Each outfit set comes with mix and match tops, skirts, sleeves, and accessores which can be combined to create many different outfits.

In addition to the color versions, each of my outfit sets comes with an ink saving template version that uses only black ink to print. After printing the template it can be colored with crayons etc for a unique look. In the above picture the dress on the right is the basic uncolored template. The dress on the left and the dress one from the right are templates that have been colored with crayons. The dress one from the left is a regular color ink printed dress.

Price of Gasoline Drops For 30th Straight Day
Just two weeks ago, we read a number of headlines reporting that the national average price for a gallon of gasoline was above $3 for more than 1,000 straight days. While the price of gasoline is still well above $3 per gallon ($3.385), we think it is noteworthy that the price has declined for thirty straight days. The last time the average price of gasoline rose was back at the end of August. Over that time, the price has declined 6%, falling from $3.594 down to the current level of $3.385. Compared to one year ago, the price of gasoline has declined by over 10%.
From a longer term perspective, the current losing streak for gasoline is the fourth time since 2004 that the price has declined for 30 or more days. The last streak was also 30 days, lasting from June through July of 2009. Before that, you have to go back to the summer of 2007, when the price of gasoline declined for 32 straight days. The longest streak, though, occurred back in 2006 when the average price of gasoline went from mid-August to mid-October without an up day.

Laws for Better Customer Support When Consumers Call Toll-free
Consumer blog

Laws for Better Customer Support When Consumers Call Toll-free
American Teleservices Association (ATA
) is holding a
in Washington DC on legislation that would impact the teleservices industry. They plan to introduce a set of self-regulatory standards at the conference. The ATA has identified five (5) pending bills seeking to impose regulations for inbound call centers. Each of these bills is addressing the need for consumers to be able to reach a human promptly when they need one. The bills are:
Oklahoma H.B. 2783
. Customer Service by an Actual Human Being Act. At any point during an inbound call the consumer has the right to "press zero" and get connected to a live operator.
New York A.B. 10446.
Establishes the department of insurance shall require every health insurer group health plan, health maintenance organization, or other entity offering medical benefits, whether by insurance or otherwise, to provide residents of this state with a way to bypass the automated telephone answering service of such health insurer, group health plan, health maintenance organization, or other entity offering medical benefits.
Rhode Island H.B. 7660.
First, RI HB 7660 requires all cell phone companies to provide their customers with direct toll-free numbers to corporate contacts "other than automated answering system" in order to resolve inquiries relating to cell phone service. Second, it requires cell phone companies to document all customer inquires and record the time, in minutes, spent resolving the issues raised by the customer. Third, "upon resolution of any inquiry or dispute related to billing or service which is resolved in the customers favor, said customer shall be credited on their account one dollar for every minute spent resolving the issue or dispute."
New Jersey A.B. 2089
. Provides that "if a telecommunications company utilizes an automated answering system or response system during normal business hours, the company shall have trained company representatives available to respond to customer telephone inquiries and shall inform customers that they may have access to a company representative in lieu of the automated system."
New Jersey A.B. 2712
. Same as A.B. 2089, but targets cable televisions companies.

LOS ANGELES – New details of a teen's slaying at a Pomona house party were revealed in court testimony today during a preliminary hearing for seven young men charged in the case.
Marquis LeBlanc, 18, was beaten by a group of young men at a Virginia Avenue party on April 17, 2009 after he took out a gun and waved it at people, according to witnesses.
LeBlanc, of Diamond Bar, escaped his assailants after an initial beating and ran down Virginia Avenue. The group chased him and caught up to him four or five houses away, a witness said this morning.
A man struck LeBlanc in the head with a two-by-four and he dropped to the ground. The rest of the group commenced "stomping" the teen, according to a witness who watched the beating through a window at his home.
The crowd eventually dispersed, leaving LeBlanc on the ground, but two or three men remained. One of the men retrieved a handgun from a car. As he approached LeBlanc, who lay motionless, one of the other men confronted him, the witness said.
"He was pushing him, telling him not to do it, not to do it because it wasn't worth it," the witness said. "He just pushed him away."
The man holding the gun walked to LeBlanc and shot him once, killing him. The man who tried to keep the shooter away lifted his hands to his head, the witness said.
Today was the second day of testimony in a preliminary hearing for seven young men charged in LeBlanc's killing. Three others also face criminal charges, but a preliminary hearing for them won't be held until November.
At a preliminary hearing, prosecutors must present evidence for a case to proceed to trial.
Eight people are charged with murder for LeBlanc's killing: Adrian Zuniga, 16; Luis Martinez, 19; Adam Delgado, 21; Edgar Cisneros, 20; Richard Vasquez, 18; Victor Guillen, 18; Ralph Richard Alfaro, 18; and Martin Haro, 16.
Efrain Prado, 21, and Haro are charged with assault. Arturo Casas, 21, is charged with robbery.
During the hearing at the Clara Foltz Criminal Justice Center in downtown Los Angeles, several witnesses have complained of intimidation from supporters of the defendants.
Judge William R. Pounders has admonished the defendants' supporters not to speak to witnesses in courthouse hallways, and this afternoon he had his admonishment translated by a Spanish-language interpreter.
"I'm getting very tired of witnesses in this case being threatened," the judge said.
Some witnesses – including those who have complained of intimidation – have recanted in their testimony prior statements to police identifying LeBlanc's attackers.
One 19-year-old woman who recanted identifications of three of LeBlanc's assailants began crying on the witness stand this afternoon when a prosecutor asked her if she feared retaliation.
Three of the witnesses to testify today described text messages they received from Haro after LeBlanc's killing. In the messages, Haro used racial slurs to describe LeBlanc, who was black, and in one message said, "We killed the fool."
Testimony in the hearing is set to resume Wednesday morning.

Lenny Kravitz on being offered the role of Cinna for The Hunger Games
When it came to deciding who should play Cinna in The Hunger Games movie, Gary Ross said it was Lenny Kravitz playing Nurse John in the movie Precious that won him over. In making the announcement, Ross said "I was just knocked out…it was quiet and strong and understated and open-hearted: all qualities which define this character."
So I guess it doesn't come as any real suprise that Lenny Kravitz didn't have to audition for the part. He spoke to Details.com in a pretty comprehensive Q&A, mostly about his new album, a bit about the success of his daughter Zoe, but also about landing the role of Cinna.
DETAILS: Your acting career has been notable too. You had a well-received part in Precious and were just cast in The Hunger Games. Had you read the books?
Lenny Kravitz: I honestly hadn't heard of them before the director called me. I hope the fans don't hate me for that. He had seen my work in Precious and called and offered me the part of Cinna, who is the stylist for the main character, Katniss. He saw how I played a caregiver in Precious and figured I might be good for Cinna. I didn't have to audition, so I'm lucky.
Lenny has also had an interview with CNN where they had quite an extensive chat about The Hunger Games. You can check the full interview here… but here's the stuff about Hunger Games:
CNN: And speaking of your acting experiences, you've been cast as Cinna in "The Hunger Games." Have you read the books?
Kravitz: Of course. I'm really excited to be in it. I'm really anxious to see how they put this whole world together because if you've read the books you know the world is quite fantastical and amazing, the Capitol and the Arena.
CNN: I am a Katniss fan, of course, but Cinna feels like the heart of the series.
Kravitz: It's funny, a lot of people say that. Why do you say that?
CNN: Because he's got Katniss' back. He's very supportive, but he's also really subversive.
Kravitz: That's why ["Hunger Games" director] Gary Ross called me; because he said he'd seen Precious and he liked how I underplayed the character. It's not a similar role, but in a sense it's got a similar quality because [Nurse John] was the only backup for ["Precious"].
CNN: Have you seen costume sketches or anything?
Kravitz: Not a thing! Not a thing! That's why I'm just as curious as you.
CNN: But Cinna's not that crazy looking. He wears all black and gold eyeliner.
Kravitz: He's kinda slick, right?
CNN: Have you met Jennifer Lawrence?
Kravitz: Yes, I know her actually because she did "X-Men: First Class" with my daughter, [Zoë Kravitz], so she spent a lot of time in my house in Paris when they were filming in London. That was another thing about casting me: [Ross] said, I heard that Jennifer was in your house all summer and that you were taking care of the kids and they were cooking. I had the whole cast, like six, seven kids in my house on the movie so I got to know all of them before I had even seen them in action. So Jennifer and I ended up becoming friendly. She's really sweet. And then I saw her in "Winter's Bone" and I was like, "Oh, wow. This girl is for real."
CNN: The Hunger Games casting has been so anticipated and controversial to some extent…
Kravitz: I didn't see any online stuff, but, yeah, the fans don't play. What do you think about Woody [Harrelson] as Haymitch?
CNN: I love it!
Kravitz: It's great, right?
CNN: The casting has been pretty terrific, but also really unexpected.
Kravitz: I know I was unexpected!
We've posted this before…but in case you missed it… here's Lenny as Nurse John in Precious.
Precious: Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire

First post! And I hope he has sleeves in the Hunger Games, because Katniss said he had no tatoos or body art besides the gold eyeliner, but I know that won't be a problem! I was really hoping for Hugh Dancy, but I'm confident he will do a good job!
I'm just hoping for the best! I got my finger crossed.. :-/
Go Lenny Kravitz!! I can't wait to see him as Cinna!
they can hide the tatoos and gold eyeliner is a peice of cake to find. Anyhow it's good that he is a fan but weird he didn't audition I didn't know casting directors offered without auditions.
Why didn't he have to audition. I think if they auditioned people for the role, they could've found someone who's a good acot (not saying he isn't because I've never seen him act) and fit the image too

Hotel Deal Finder Apps
Find That Cheap Hotel Room
Trying to find a good hotel room can be tricky. Getting a room at a good price and a good location can sometimes be a nightmare. Thankfully the iPhone can help you snatch up those deals. We compare our favorites in this AppGuide.
Essential Apps
Notable Apps
Priceline.com Hotels, Flights and Rental Cars
by priceline.com
The Priceline Negotiator app is okay. We did not like how it screams out its jingle when you launch the app. We also found problems with its search results. Hotels in Ontario, Canada were appearing in our search for a city in California. Priceline provides a unique service of trying to bid for lower prices on hotels. We found the service works sometimes and can save you a little money. This iPhone app is a nice one to try out to see if you can get a good deal.
TripAdvisor Hotels Flights Restaurants
by TripAdvisor LLC
TripAdvisor helps you not only with places to stay, but also places to eat, things to do, flights, and more. We found this app harder to use than HotelPal. The interface was not nearly as intuitive. The content is not bad and you will find some great places to stay with this app.
Booking.com Hotel Reservations Worldwide & Hotel Deals
by Booking.com
Booking.com has a fantastic app. The iPad version is both beautiful and useful. The problem we encountered with the app is content. There simply were not as many hotels offered in this app compared to its competition. A nice free app to have if the others fail on you.
Decent Apps
HotelsByMe.com - Hotels and Hotel Reservations
by HotelsByMe.com
HotelsByMe really limits you to hotels by you. We found it frustrating to use. We did eventually find a search area for finding hotels in other locations. We wish that the map included the price tag over each location. We did like how the app shows you the features and restrictions of each hotel in a very clear way. This is a nice app, but nothing too spectacular.
Hotels HD
by OpenMotion, LLC
Hotels HD is an okay app. We didn't like how the map view doesn't show the price tag. The hotel descriptions feel more like a webpage rather than an app. The content is good, but the presentation needs some work.
Beyond Hotels
by Airbnb, Inc.
Sick of hotels? Airbnb let you book other accommodations. Rent an apartment, a house, or even an entire island for your stay. You can even use the app to help you rent out your own home while you're away.

I may heart Justin Timberlake
This has been coming on for a while, so I might as well go public and see if it makes me feel better: I think I have a crush on Justin Timberlake.

American Pastoral is part of Philip Roth's American trilogy, three novels that he wrote at the end of the twentieth century, each set in a period in America's recent history that marked the country in important ways. This novel represents his take on the tempestuous1960s. By far the most dramatic part of American Pastoral is the portrayal of Merry Levov, a teenager who plants bombs that kill innocent victims because she is opposed to the war in Vietnam and wants to start a revolution. But the novel is, like so many of Roth's late works, also a book that takes us back to his own past, a book about what it was like to grow up in America in the 1930s and 40s. The violence and disillusionment of the 1960s,…
