text: Deborah Lippmann I Know What Boys Like Nail Lacquer ($16.00 for 0.5 fl. oz.) is described as a "playful periwinkle." It's a really rich, dark periwinkle, and to me, I see indigo–that perfect mix of blue and violet that gives you something different. I used two coats for swatches, and there is a hint of visible nail line, so I would say three is likely the ideal strategy here. It's described as a cream finish, but it is more like a cream meets jelly–it has that slightly squishy look of a jelly.

Prevent the sunsetting of your student state-of-mindFriday, October 30th, 2009
Most of us have seen gorgeous sunsets before, but when was the last time you purposefully sat and watched the sun set?
My wife and I took a trip to San Clemente, Calif. to visit a customer. As we sat in the customer's backyard, talking and watching the sun set over Catalina Island, I found the view absolutely breathtaking.
After seeing this gorgeous sunset, I found myself with a renewed sense of appreciation for the majestic beauty all around me. It seemed that the humdrum of daily living had watered down my appreciation of natural beauty the same way fluorescent lights can sap your energy if they are your only exposure to light.
Books are like gorgeous sunsets because, though they are understood, they are wholly underappreciated and undervalued.
So, why don't more people read? People don't read often enough because they have lost touch with their student state-of-mind. We find ourselves looking at a book and quickly determining whether or not we already "know" the information contained in the book. If we do "know" the material covered in the book, we minimize its perceived value. If we do not "know" the material covered in the book, it is written off as invalid. Both outcomes lead to the book being left, unread, on the table.
I already knew the sun was going to set, I knew where it was going to set, and I could look in the newspaper and know exactly what time it was going to set. However, this "knowing" did not take away from the breathtaking experience of watching the sun set over the western horizon. Experiencing this sunset renewed my appreciation for what it represents — so much so that I could not resist standing and applauding in front of my hosts.
The real value of learning lies in how it changes you — in how it enhances who you are and what you are able to contribute to the world. Learning is not something you acquire nor is it something you ever finish. Learning is a state-of-mind that lies at the heart of success and voracious reading lies at the heart of all learning.
The choice is simple: You can hang your future upon that degree and pat yourself on the back for having learned — even though you know deep down that you are not practicing that which you have learned. Or, take that degree off the wall and declare that you will be a student for life.
When you declare yourself a lifelong student, everything changes; you will see the world differently. You will start to search for ways to improve. You will acknowledge that there is a lot you do not know, and you will appreciate the fact there is always a way to improve. As a lifelong student, you will no longer lay claim to the ownership of knowledge.
Whether you are trying to balance the family budget or trying to bring a new product to market, there are countless works available to keep you sharp, keep you fresh, and keep you constantly improving the world we share.
If you are an accountant, read a book on gardening and you will find things that will help you serve your clients. If you are an artist, grab a book on economics and you will find symmetries that may spark an idea for your next masterpiece.
Build a strong foundation by grabbing a book; and, when you are given a beautiful idea, stand up, applaud, and feel the passion reverberate through every cell in your body.

The mums below have plenty of tips about how they managed their weight. It seems that small changes are the key to success. Find out what they have to say:
"I keep reminding myself that the weight is probably going to take as much time to go as it did to creep on."
"Breastfeeding really does help to shift the pounds."
"I put on a lot of weight with my first baby. But by breastfeeding, cutting out desserts and by exercising (the last bit is key!) the weight was gone seven months later."
"Don't be tempted to take slimming pills. They definitely aren't safe for pregnancy or breastfeeding and can have nasty side-effects."
"I know it's boring, but exercise really helps. Obviously, you should take it easy for the first weeks after having a baby. You need to recover! But after then and when you're feeling up to it, a good rule is to make sure you exercise enough to sweat every day. Exercise can be as simple as running up and down stairs a few times or going for a walk."
"Being at home with my baby means that exercise is usually the last thing on my mind. But I try to use a keep fit DVD when she's asleep, or even when she's awake and sitting in her bouncy chair."
"I joined a buggy workout class which is run in my local park. Without a class to go to I'd have found it hard to work up the motivation to get out and get moving."
"Try making a few small changes a week. Keep it up for a few months and see what a difference it makes. The key is not to expect a slimmer, fitter you overnight."
"Find something to distract you when you get boredom hunger. Paint your nails, do the ironing, or read a few pages of a magazine. Anything other than going into your kitchen."
"Allow yourself a treat every now and again. You need to change for the long term so be realistic about what you can keep up. Otherwise you'll pile it all back on."

HAZARD – The Perry County school board held a lengthy discussion on school safety during a meeting in Hazard last week, which officials say should eventually result in a safer school district.
Larry Caudill, a parent and member of the site-based council at R.W. Combs Elementary, presented to the board a request for funding to upgrade the school's security system. The council at R.W. Combs recently received an estimate for $4,500 that would include new safety upgrades at the school such as magnetic locks on the outside doors and monitors at the receptionist's desk.
Some changes at the school have already been made, Caudill added, such as visitor identification badges and new protocols for entering and leaving a classroom. But in light of the recent school shooting in Connecticut, and then a triple shooting here at the Hazard college apparently stemming from a domestic dispute, Caudill said school safety has been chief on the minds of parents.
"We're doing the best that we can with what we've got, but we need more," Caudill said, adding that purchasing these upgrades could also go a long way in purchasing peace of mind for parents. "Every day you're worrying about what's going to happen, what's going on. I think this would ease a lot of people's minds if we were to go with this."
Of the 11 schools in the Perry County School District, there are varying systems for school security, according to district Finance Officer Jody Maggard. Some of those variations include a camera system and magnetic doors, like at Perry Central High School, though other schools have far fewer measures in place.
District officials recently expended funds from a $300,000 grant, Maggard noted, the majority of which was spent on camera systems for the schools. And while officials have been slowly building up security these past few years, safe school funding from the state has decreased to around $19,000 per year, much of which is being used to maintain the systems already in place. And to install magnetic locks and camera systems in each school would quickly approach $100,000 or more, money the district does not have readily available, especially in light of state funding reductions due to a declining enrollment.
Completing an inventory of the systems already in place and determining what each school needs could be a more practical approach for upgrading security systems. Schools will likely have different needs, Maggard explained, and that would also give officials an opportunity to determine how the district could pay for the upgrades.
Board member Charlene Miller asked if there are any grants available for school safety, and suggested the district pursue that avenue to help offset any additional costs. Completing an inventory or needs assessment would help with grants as well, Maggard noted, because it would allow the grant writers to better tailor the district's applications.
"What we're talking about doing is a good first step," he said.
Regardless, the district should move on this issue soon, Caudill told the board's members. In light of the recent violence around the nation and here in the county, the board should do something now that shows they are focused and working on school safety for the district's students, and not push this issue off until the next meeting or the one after that.
"We need to let them know that we're there for them, they're safety is first," Caudill said.
The board's members agreed that student safety should be their top priority, and also moved to get the process started of evaluating schools and determining what is needed to improve student safety. Though formal recommendations likely won't be ready for the board until their next meeting scheduled for Feb. 21, the board will call a special called meeting before then if necessary.
Board member James Ritchie reiterated that the board should act quickly before something does happen in the schools that perhaps could have been avoided or prevented. "It has to be done now," he said.

Kat Martin has been a favorite of mine for a long time. The Raines of Wind Canyon is a terrific series of romantic suspense stories plus they are pretty steamy at times. I really like her writing style, she is easy to read and her stories pull me in from the start. Everything flows really well. I like spending my time with her characters, and I miss them when they're gone. Against the Edge, the newest in this series, will be released at the end of April. It does not disappoint. Ben and Claire are on the hunt for Ben's child Sam, who has been abducted by some not-so-nice guys. The twists and turns and ups and downs make for another fun ride. You have time to catch up on other titles in this series while you wait.

Republican moneyman Kenneth Langone, the leading force behind a failed effort to recruit New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie into the presidential campaign, said Tuesday he is now supporting Mitt Romney in the GOP presidential primary race, but wistfully opined that he preferred some Democrats who are not in the contest for the White House.
Appearing on the Charlie Rose talk show, the co-founder of Home Depot and former director of the New York Stock Exchange said he would like to vote for New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, or former President Bill Clinton. Each Democrat, he said, showed the leadership he thinks President Obama has failed to show for nearly three years in office.
"Look, I think right now what we need to do, all of us as Americans, take a step back, forget party affiliation," Langone said. "As I said, if Gov. Cuomo were to run for the presidency in these circumstances, I would vote for Gov. Cuomo. He is making tough, unpopular decisions that you think somebody of his persuasion would not do."
Langone was tapped as an economic advisor on Cuomo's transition team last year. Still, the vocal support of such a prominent Republican for a Democrat like Cuomo is unusual.
Of Christie's announcement on Tuesday that he would stay out of the contest for the Republican nomination, Langone said, "I feel bad that we're not going to have the benefit of his leadership, but I'm not disappointed." Langone led the effort of a collection of wealthy Republican donors to try to get Christie to enter the race.

Kudos to Bobby Jindal. In his speech to the Faith and Freedom Coalition, I think his analysis of our current president's performance versus capability is right on the mark.
Bobby philosophizes with the question: "Are we witnessing right now the most radically, extremely liberal, ideological president of our entire lifetime right here in the United States of America, or are we witnessing the most incompetent president of the United States of America in the history of our lifetimes?"

How to manually unjailbreak an iPhone 3GS
location: macrumors.com - date: May 13, 2010
Hi, I have an iPhone 3GS that was JB and unlocked. Something happened to it and now I cannot restore with iTunes. Both DFU and Recovery Mode give error out. Recovery Mode error does not have a number but the DFU error is 21 which according to Apple is a hardware issue. I do have access to the phones internals using iPhone Explorer and I can still use redsn0w to reapply the jailbreak. So what should/can I do? 1. Manually delete all the jailbreak files? I can do this but I cannot find a definitive list of the standard files? I did not install any apps off of Cydia except whatever was necessary for the unlock/repositories. 2. Manually delete everything (rm -rf*, Scorched Earth)? I was thinking that I could delete everything so that the phone will not even boot and feign ignorance or tell them that the update/restore process was interrupted and the phone bricked. Any other suggestions?

Hummmm, how many snow days have they had?
BTW there are skills that someone going to the first grade should have to be able to keep up..... but two days making a difference..... wow.
My wife was a kindergarten teacher for over 20 years so I'm kind of familiar with the age group, and this article doesn't sound valid for the school or the parents. Kindergarten is not just fun and games these days, and there are important things the kids need to have accomplished to be successful in the first grade...... but two days?????? really....

You know if you really think about it the school system can't force parents to maketheir children to go to school.
Seeing that this is just kindergarten I would have my kid stay home in protest and let him/her
be the kid they are because it will only be here once for them.
As a parent that times goes really quick..
I can't understand what the school system is actually thinking..
I bet if you ask those that are in control of this situation "did you have to think about college
when you were in kindergarten", I bet that person would blush in shame and say NO.
So then let them be kids and don't make them feel like they are going to do hard labor behind bars.

It depends on where you live.... I think I would like to have a whole lot more information concerning everything about the situation before getting in anyone's face over it. We complain about the level of education we give our kids these days and when they want to focus more on teaching than fun then people get all upset about that.
I'm thinking there is more to the story here.

Posted 30 April 2014 - 09:12 PM
I can see with many issues there are 2 sides to the story. One of the issues is some of those from kindergarten are proven not to be emotionally or scholastically ready for the first grade.
I understand that schools are trying to give kids off to a good start. But even as the Bible says
there is a time for everything. In this case waiting until the last few days of school was a very bad decision. Which goes to show you those in those departments of administration were uneducated themselves.
If they were more smarter they would have had this better planned out. These kindergarten kids
worked hard all year. Now these kids are paying the price for the mistakes that the school staff is making. And you know what? This happens all the time. When you're a grown up at work the upper supervisers will make mistakes and try to make the employees make up for them. Hey give these kids a break and let the show go on.

I think since we make teachers go to college for four or five years to get certificates to teach and make them practice for a half year or so, it's pretty presumptuous for us to tell them how to their business. I think it's perfectly fine to tell them what we want them taught, but how they do it should be left up to them....

Thats laughable since grades 1-12 dont prepare kids for much of anything. For instance in algebra they dont teach rise over run is how you build stairs. They just teach the application so you can pass a state apptitude test so the school can get paid. In other countries highschool graduates are ready for a technical job, here in the states a high school diploma gets you a job flipping patties. I am so glad i dont have kids.
Yes,the new bachelors degree is a masters.

Hi other one. If we are the tax payers to the education system then we ought to have some say about our children, how they are taught and how they are treated. You have the wrong attitude.
This is the danger of this new common core way of teaching students being more robotic tactics and less human. So even if you can create a person to learn English or Science if they are treated robotic they may not make good decisions in real life circumstances.
Some of the most intelligent people are also the worse criminals just as James Holmes who shot all those people at the movie theatre. It was believed he was socially somewhat a reject and a loner. This is the kind of person out of our educations most top college graduate. And all he can come up with is making these bombs and taking vengeance on society. Because when a person only has information inside their head and not of sound moral reasoning they can blow up like a tsunami.
I have friend who works at Boeing. They are hard workers who create these planes with modern technology. But do you also know Boeing has the most fun activities throughout the year? It means a lot for these employees to take a day or half day off of work to enjoy a fun golf tournament, picnics, weight lifting contests and other holiday festivities. In what way did these occasions hinder the abilities of the men and women to perform at there most highest potential of being inventive, creative, skilled, determined, and motivated, to do their jobs right?
These occasions did not hurt them at all. It actually boosted these people to feel better about where they work. Because no matter how much they are trained or skilled we are created by God. We still have feelings and emotions. It is fact in Corinthians we are told that even with all prophecy, with all knowledge, with all giving to the poor, without love, then knowledge then prophecy nor giving to the poor has no value without love.
This play therefore is not so much about learning but showing compassion on these children, and letting them share the little tykes they really are. They need to learn but this is not Marine Steve Wilcos boot camp take my orders approach.
You know some of the kids go home to a deserted home where they may not see much love around them. How much would a play like this mean to them? Surely a lot. I remember the Keystone cops on my close up Washington Dc trip. Even Washington DC, to learn about government, uses both serious learning, lectures, and includes fun things for kids to do. In between all the fun.. we learned about the legislative, executive and the judicial branches and about the Peace Corp and the monuments.
So if you really want to motivate kids and realize they are just kids teach them structure but also allow some fun time. Because if we don't allow them to be children in between the more important aspects don't expect them to smile or laugh. They will become robots knowing English, Science, and Math and yet making poor decisions in our society. And people will ask them why are you so emotionally so fixed on facts and numbers and you can't' deal with these issues? They will reply I went to school. I was taught this way because even the Garden of Eden had the tree of knowledge.
We learned knowledge alone was not enough. It is the life that God wants us to have. So we can't go out into the world after school just by knowledge alone. We must have the spiritual and ethical moral way of thinking things out. Because our connection to God is heart, minds, body, soul and spirit. If we only have knowledge that's all Satan can offer us and if we add our heart, soul, and spirit along with our minds than we can more potentially deal with life in the way God wants us to.
Darwin only wants us to feed our minds. But the Lord wants us to have nourishment to our spirit as well. . It's a balance. This is why these kids deserved to have a play. Detach first work before play and now let them have a little enjoyment.. Give your life some fun and put a little fun in your life. . We're just human. God made us this way.

Blessings Everyone....
I don't know the half of it & I just get the feeling that these parents are making much ado about nothing......so what they don't have a show in May but instead they will have a "game day"?There will be plenty of shows & recitals throughout their elementary school years & half the day in kindergarten is coloring & lots of fun time anyway,that they will always remember & cherish(I know I do) & I don't ever remember a show day.......
They also mentioned in the article that because of limited funding the classes have been reduced to half days?So with half days & all the missed school days due to extreme weather I suppose the school wants to get the most out of the time they do have......as other one said,there are two sides to every story.If its such a big deal to the parents then they should put something together themselves & have it on a Saturday......perhaps if they would have went to the principle to suggest an extra curricular activity they may have even let them use the school auditorium for such an event........ you get more bees with honey,,,,
With love-in Christ,Kwik

Honestly does anyone really think what these kids learn in the 2 days they will remember anyway when the time
comes for them to need to know?
If it is tradition to have this for the kids then why break tradition because of the bad weather that was not in their control?
Isn't it in high school that gives you SAT tests to prepare for you college? At least a high school would better understand the whole deal then a kindergartener.

MADISON, Ala.(WHNT)-Crews in the city of Madison are gearing up for the possibility of freezing rain early Friday morning.
The Madison Pulbic Works Department had already loaded up trucks with a sand-gravel mix by early Thursday afternoon.
Crews will be fully staffed overnight, with a standby squad also on notice in case things get bad. The National Weather Service said the rain would likely begin to fall around 3 a.m. Friday morning, lasting through 9 a.m. Whether temperatures will be cold enough to freeze roads over remains to be seen, but officals said they weren't taking chances.
"We're ready to go, just waiting for the event to start," said Mike Gentle, spokesman for Madison Public Works. "We got all of our trucks already loaded with gravel-sand mix. It [freezing rain] could happen anywhere, just depends on our temperatures in any part of the city."

Rosie's meeting with the Price Is Right producers has come and gone, and her dream job is now just that – a big dream Ro placed in all our heads and then snatched away. Last week, when asked on her blog if she'd accept the hosting gig, Rosie's reply was, "if they asked me i sure would." But now we hear that she's turned the job down, because, you know, she's all nice and doesn't want to uproot her family for the West Coast [Insert sound of fans' hearts shattering here].
Rosie spilled the beans on a video blog posted on her website, saying: ""Here's the thing. I don't really need a job…I don't need the money…So to get my entire family
from their lives and move them across the country so that I can have a
fantasy childhood indulgence job just doesn't seem fair."
Sounds like Rosie might have known she wasn't even going to take the gig in the first place. So why string us along, Ro? Do you need our attention as bad as we need your smiling face and political banter? Our Rosie-adoring hopes were up so high, and we're now left alone sniffling in our Plinko chips, shuddering as we consider a world in which Mario Lopez spins the wheel. You read that right. MARIO LOPEZ. Rosie, how could you?

My mind was blown last night when I tried a very simple snack that my husband was eating… Apple and peanut butter! It was DELICIOUS and I don't even like peanut butter, which is odd because I like butter and I like peanuts, but together it just doesn't do anything for me. However, spread on a piece of apple, it was heaven in my mouth and healthy too because we buy Whole Earth Peanut Butter which is made up of just 97% peanuts, palm oil and sea salt. It's going to be my new thing when I'm at home and crave something sweet.
Oooh, another snack I've just remembered using apples is to slice them up thinly, sprinkle cinnamon on them and then microwave them for 2-3 minutes, or until they are as soft as you would like them – delicious and ideal after dinner to substitute for a dessert.
I also tried my hand at these ridiculously easy to make, all natural, pancakes this weekend. No flour, no sugar, just a banana mashed up and 2 eggs – simples! It makes a lot of mixture so I just used half a banana and 1 egg on my first go and I added a bit of cinnamon for flavour and also to boost my metabolism (put it on your porridge peeps!). Using coconut oil instead of butter makes them taste even yummier and is healthier too! These pancakes are good if you fancy something sweet in the morning and you can also add some oats to the mixture, just let them soak in the eggs and banana for a while before you cook them to soften them a bit. Eat them straight away or take them with you to have as a healthy snack on-the-go.
Let me know if you modify the recipe at all to make them even better :)

Syncing JB iPhone with pre-installed apps/songs
I have been using a jailbroken iPhone4 with a gevey sim. Last week I got the phone unlocked, and now I wanted to upgrade my iOS 4.1 to 5.0.1, but before that I just wanted to clarify a few queries. I did look for similar posts but didn't have much luck so here I am looking for expert advise from all of you.
When I first got the phone, a friend did the jailbreak, and put in alot of apps, songs, movies etc. Since then i have added many apps myself through 'Cydia' and 'Installous', and added many tweaks too.
I have used the 'backup' option in the past using the iTunes, but never did the 'sync' because it always tells me that everything on my iPhone will be replaced by my iTunes - which is essentially clean with nothing installed on it.
All the apps / songs / movies that my friend installed on my phone are in his computer.
So that's my dilemma, how do I sync things on my iPhone to my computer? I can re-install a few apps, and may be some tweaks too, but it seems too much to sync and loose everything on the phone?
I am not sure "Authorize This Computer" option will be a solution for this problem, because the source is not with me.
Restoring from backup won't solve it either because that will downgrade it back to 4.1!
Would really appreciate if someone can tell me a solution to this problem, and to save the things on my phone befor upgrading (& later on jailbreaking to) iOS 5.0.1.
Take care,

After the Gentle Poet Kobayashi Issa
New Year's morning—
everything is in blossom!
I feel about average. . . .
New Year's morning—
everything is in blossom!
I feel about average. . . .
The best job I had was moving a stone
from one side of the road to the other.
This required a permit which required . . .
Ah! why, because the dazzling sun
Restored my earth to joy
Have you departed, every one, . . .
When I know you are coming home
I put on this necklace:
glass beads on a silken thread, . . .
Be perfect, make it otherwise.
Yesterday is torn in shreds.
Lightning's thousand sulfur eyes . . .
The Devil's tour of hell did not include
a factory line where molten lead
spilled into mouths held wide, . . .
Although she feeds me bread of bitterness,
And sinks into my throat her tiger's tooth,
Stealing my breath of life, I will confess . . .
We were dancing—it must have
been a foxtrot or a waltz,
something romantic but . . .
Deep in a vale, a stranger now to arms,
Too poor to shine in courts, too proud to beg,
He, who once warred on Saratoga's plains, . . .
Hopper never painted this, but here
on a snaky path his vision lingers:
. . .

Despite rising India-Pakistan tensions, little planning for the next big crisis
In the very early days after the Sept 11 attacks on the United States, some in India, for the briefest of moments, believed Washington might be coming around to its point of view: that the problem and source of "cross-border terrorism" lay in Pakistan. Instead, an aggrieved India was forced to look on as Washington turned to its old ally Pakistan to help it fight the war in Afghanistan.
It was in that sour mood that New Delhi reacted with increasing anger to Pakistan's support for Islamist militants targeting India in Kashmir and beyond. In October 2001, nearly 40 people were killed in a suicide attack on the legislative assembly of Jammu and Kashmir state in its summer capital Srinagar. When militants attacked the Indian parliament in Delhi on December 13, 2001 – an attack blamed on the Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammed – India mobilised for war. Soon close to a million men were deployed on either side of the border in a tense standoff that was not resolved until the following summer, and only then after intense U.S.-led international diplomacy.
To those of us who witnessed the build-up to the 2001-2002 standoff, the rising tensions between India and Pakistan – with both sides accusing the other of escalating fighting on the Line of Control dividing disputed Kashmir – bear a troublesome resemblance to that time. Then and now are bookended by the U.S. presence in Afghanistan which began in 2001 and is due to end in 2014.
In the interim was a period of relative calm on the India-Pakistan front. The two countries agreed a ceasefire on the Line of Control in late 2003; infiltration of militants from Pakistan into Indian Kashmir slowed to a trickle; violence in the Kashmir Valley – at the heart of a separatist revolt – came down dramatically. Even after 166 people were killed in the 2008 attack on Mumbai, blamed by the United States and India on the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba, Delhi only "paused" talks and took no retaliatory military action.
There were many reasons for that restraint: Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh was personally committed to the peace process; Delhi preferred to focus on its economic growth; the failure of the 2001-2002 mobilisation highlighted the difficulties of war between two countries which openly tested nuclear weapons in 1998; Pakistan was preoccupied with Afghanistan.
And there are many reasons for it breaking down now: Singh has been weakened by domestic political and economic crises while his Congress party, facing elections next year, is being taunted by the opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for going soft on Pakistan while Lashkar-e-Taiba founder Hafez Saeed, seen by India as the mastermind behind Mumbai, preaches openly at home.
Adding to that are concerns in India that as the Afghan war winds down, Pakistan will redirect Islamist militants to the Kashmir jihad – just as it did when the Soviets withdrew from Afghanistan in 1989. Pakistan denies backing the militants. And again an aggrieved India is looking on fearing the United States might stitch up a deal with Pakistan to give the Taliban a share of power in Afghanistan as it tries to find a respectable exit to the long Afghan war.
But whatever the many different reasons, what should worry people in South Asia and beyond is that the relative calm in India-Pakistan relations during the U.S.-led war in Afghanistan may turn out to have been the exception rather than the rule. (The deterrent effect of both countries having nuclear weapons played a role; but did not prevent either the Kargil war fought on the Line of Control in 1999, or the 2001-2002 standoff where troops were mobilised all along the border.)
Adding to those worries is the fact that both countries – albeit with limited success – have been trying to advance their military capabilities since 2001-2002. In India, the so-called Cold Start Doctrine is meant to allow it to launch a military strike at very short notice in retaliation for any major militant attack traced back to Pakistan. Indian defence analysts are sceptical about whether it would work; the problem is that Pakistan believes it could.
In response, Pakistan has been trying to develop tactical "battlefield" nuclear weapons which could be deployed against an advancing Indian army. While there are questions over how successful Pakistan has been in achieving this, these could in theory dilute India's policy of "no first use" of nuclear weapons; even the use by Pakistan of a battlefield nuclear weapon against Indian troops on its own soil could trigger massive Indian retaliation.
Yet there is almost no contingency planning for a crisis, either within South Asia or outside. Unlike the Soviet Union and the United States during the Cold War, where deterrence was underpinned by a sophisticated system of signalling and ultimately Mutually Assured Destruction, India and Pakistan are poor at signalling and unevenly balanced.
In the 2001-2002 standoff, India and Pakistan had almost no means of communication, having severed air links and thrown out their respective ambassadors; yet both had an unnerving tendency to assume they knew the red lines of the other. When the tensions over the 2001-2002 mobilisation peaked, western countries called on their nationals to leave India and Pakistan, fearing that any escalation would rapidly get out of hand.
The same could happen in any future crisis. India might, for example, try to limit fighting to the Line of Control, seeking maximum gains before outside powers forced a ceasefire. But any unplanned escalation to the international border would draw in Indian troops who could, in theory, then become vulnerable to battlefield nuclear weapons. Pakistan has said it would use nuclear weapons only if its survival were threatened; yet compared to India it is long and narrow, easily cut in half and its second city Lahore is only 25 km (16 miles) from the Indian border.
Alternative scenarios are if anything even worse – were India to deploy its air force, Pakistan would have no means of knowing whether these carried nuclear or conventional weapons.
Nobody is suggesting the two countries are hurtling towards war. India is still focused on reviving economic growth and has little to gain from a war. Even Narendra Modi, the presumed prime ministerial candidate for the BJP in the coming elections, has built his reputation by cultivating ties with the business community, restraining his traditional hawkishness on Pakistan. And Pakistan has far too many problems dealing with the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and its allies in al Qaeda, based in the tribal areas bordering Afghanistan, to risk a crisis on the Indian border on the east.
So there is still time for India and Pakistan to build lines of communication to help both countries manage a crisis that neither wants, and to consider how to improve their signalling, particularly on the use of nuclear weapons. And there is still time for the outside world to work out how they could intervene to prevent any new crisis from escalating.
The problem is that, lulled by the relative restraint of the last decade or so, few are planning for the next crisis. Most debate is limited to, and defined by, what happened over the last 10 years – the discussion revolves around whether the LoC ceasefire will hold, or the extent of India-Pakistan rivalry in Afghanistan. If these years prove to be an anomaly for India-Pakistan relations, everyone needs to be thinking much more broadly.
And of course, the idea that there is still time assumes that al Qaeda and its allies do not try to exploit the rising tensions, using a major attack in India to throw a match into the tinderbox.

I was two when Betsy hit my grandmother's house in Arabi. My mother said, the batteries were weak in the radio and somehow I stuck my finger in the radio. They never had reception after that.
My Grandmother always said, we just started over, made loans and did what ever we had to rebuild our house.

Mr. Lauga just doesn't get it. It's not about him. It's about VOTER FRAUD.

How fast can you say, Kangaroo Court?
I'm outraged with this ruling. The LA Secretary of State calls it voter fraud. Judge Fernandez calls it confusion. I call it corruption!
Let's not forget St. Bernard Parish Registrar of Voters, Velma Bourg. No confusion there, she is simply incompetent.
Appeal, appeal, appeal or simply recall Lauga. The only way to get a fair trial is to take it out of St. Bernard Parish.
This case needs to be taken out of St. Bernard Parish. It's clear, which side the judge is on. Bourg needs to be cross examined in a real court, one where she will not be protected by the judge.
District A should start a recall for the removal of Ray Lauga.
Kudos to Mr. Rupp for standing up in this kangaroo court.
It's a shame this election has gotten so ugly. But, I don't think it's more ugly than other races in other parishes. Politics are ugly.
The Parish President did do a good job. Still, I wish the new President well.
As far as the housing debacle, I'm totally opposed to the huge apartments. I'm not opposed to mixed or low income housing. I just wish they would have built them like they did in N.O. They're beautiful and are almost like individual houses.
Most of the people here are nice, hard working people. I like the low crime rate.

Sherroid Evans wins the 200 meters in 20.83. He beat DeAndrew White, last years champion by .5 second. Evans is fast for sure.
anybody know where Mykkele Thompson is projected to play? I'd assume DB but curious if anybody knows more.
The Devin Sanders kid from DeSoto that finished 4th in the 5A 200m, that's not Deion's kid is it? I know he's bounced around between different schools, but I thought he was last at one of the South Dallas schools (DeSoto or Cedar Hill).
Sanders has been married twice — to Carolyn Chambers, with whom he has two children (Deiondra and Deion Jr.), and Pilar Biggers with whom he has 3 children (Shilo, Shedeur and Shelomi). Deion appeared with his family on NBC's new show Celebrity Family Feud which premiered on June 24, 2008.
Sheroid would have beaten Brandon Williams by .62 of a second which is about 3-4 strides in track in the 200 if they raced together. But that may be a bit skewed cause Williams sort of coasted through the finish line.

Geforce 4 on Redhat 7.0
I am very new to linux and I got a hold of a copy from a friend (also an idiot). I installed Redhat 7.0 on my PC with a NVidia TNT 2 Pro everything went fine. About a month ago I bought a Geforce 4 Ti 4600, when I tried to boot into linux I recived a message about a proccess being murdered!!! After a day or two of searching on the net I found a copple of pages that related it to a display problem. I have tried reinstalling Linux over and over agian but I cant seem to solve the problem. I think the Nvidia Linux drivers might work but I have no Idea how to install them because I can't even fully start linux. There was one time when I was able to log in, but the message just kept poping up.
Please Help,
Idiot Ali
Ali Ra, did you have a chance to read the readme on the nvidia site?
Also I'm also a newb with linux, but this may help you out, since I too also ran into the same problem, go to /etc/inittab, and edit it. Since you are using rh 7x, the value is prolly set at 5. You may want to try 3 instead, that way, if x starts it will just give you an error message, and bring you back to root console. This way you can diagnose your problems. After you log in, type "startx" to get into x mode.

Throughout the 1970's, this group of fresh faces worked to bring about reform and legislative independence at the Louisiana State House. Thirty years later, members of this original group reunited to discuss politics, swap stories and revisit political exploits of this unique group of lawmakers.
Nicknamed the Young Turks, this group of fresh faces in the Louisiana House of Representatives worked to bring about legislative reforms and legislative independence throughout the 1970s. In the Spring of 2004, members of the group gathered at McNeese State University to honor their late colleague Bill McLeod., discuss their political exploits and swap stories at this special reuion.
Participants included Senator John Hainkel, and former Representatives Bob Jones, E. L. "Bubba" Henry, P. J. Mills, Thomas Casey, Ralph Miller, Don Williamson, Kenneth Leithman, Jim Dennis, and Ben Bagert. Errol LaBorde, the publisher of Louisiana Life magazine, was the moderator.
The Young Turks hold a special place in Louisiana Legislative history. They bucked the system to create major changes in how the legislature operated, including creating decorum in the House, removing lobbyists from the House floor, and bringing accountability to the appropriations process. They blazed a trail that led to a new state constitution in 1973 and reforms that still impact state government today.
The Young Turks is part of the McLeod Lecture Series at McNeese State University.

TEDx NASA
I am now in Newport News, Virginia preparing for my speech tomorrow at TEDx NASA. There will be 1700 aerospace engineers and scientists in the audience. My topics is titled "Innovation is in the Space."
I have only 6 minutes for my presentation. This may prove to be my most challenging speech yet! Blaise Pascal (not Mark Twain) once wrote (originally in French), "I have made this letter longer than usual, only because I have not had time to make it shorter."
45 minute speeches are easy. I can do them in my sleep.
Other speakers at this event have as much as 18 minutes. I know, from a conversation with one of them that 18 minutes is proving to be a challenge. Imagine what it is like to prepare for a 6 minute speech.
They asked me if I could deliver anything meaningful in 6 minutes! I responded that my TV interviews are usually 3 minutes long – and the interviewer is talking half of the time. So 6 minutes is plenty. Hey, Toastmasters champions are able to deliver a powerful speech with 7 minutes.
If you want to see me and everyone else (including Mitch Albom) live through your computer, join us at 10AM EST at livestream.com/tedxnasa2009
My speech is from 2:20PM – 2:26PM EST.
I will post a transcript of my speech next week. And I believe that the video will be available sometime in the near future. Enjoy!

Railroad Worker With Degenerative Disc Disease Was Discharged Because of His Disability, Federal Agency Charged
ATLANTA - Norfolk, Va.-based Norfolk Southern Railway Company, which operates in the eastern United States, will pay $110,000 to settle a disability discrimination lawsuit brought by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the agency announced today.
According to the EEOC's lawsuit, Norfolk Southern violated federal law by medically disqualifying a track maintenance worker because of degenerative disc disease, a spine condition, without doing an individualized assessment of whether he could perform the essential functions of his job. After receiving treatment for his condition and being cleared to return to work by his physician, Norfolk Southern's medical director disqualified him from his job and terminated him without first determining whether his medical condition actually affected his ability to perform the job.
Such alleged conduct violates the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which requires employers to perform an individualized assessment of an employee's ability to perform the essential functions of his or her job rather than making assumptions about the employee's ability. The agency filed suit (EEOC v. Norfolk Southern Railway Company, Case No. 1:13-cv-03126) in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia after first attempting a pre-litigation settlement through its conciliation process.
The consent decree settling the suit, in addition to the monetary relief, includes provisions for equal employment opportunity training, reporting and posting of anti-discrimination notices. In the suit and consent decree, Norfolk Southern denied any liability or wrongdoing.
"A primary purpose of the ADA is to prevent employers from making assumptions, whether fueled by prejudice or ignorance, about what employees with disabilities can do in the workplace. An individualized assessment is a crucial and necessary part in the effort to overcome these prejudices," said Robert Dawkins, regional attorney for the EEOC's Atlanta District Office.
Bernice Williams Kimbrough, director of the Atlanta District, noted, "The EEOC is committed to ensuring that employers understand that they must treat employees with disabilities as unique individuals and not presume they have certain limitations simply because they have a disability."

Q: We have an unfinished concrete block room in our basement. We'd like to paint the walls and finish the room. But how do you clean and prepare concrete walls that have never seen a brush? Any special paint or brushes we should use? What about sealing small mortar cracks? — Tina, via e-mail
A: A "finished" basement usually refers to building out from the concrete walls with framing, insulation, sheetrock and perhaps some attractive paneling. If you want the room to be a living space and especially if you want it to be a bedroom, you should consider finishing it completely. But if you merely want to spruce the room up for utility and storage, painting will make it seem less dungeon-y.
Although some homeowners have used Hydra Seal coating by Endura-Seal for basement walls, the manufacturer doesn't recommend it for concrete walls. Look for a paint that's intended for concrete, like Sherwin Williams ProClassic Waterborne Interior Latex Enamel.
Before investing in paint for the job, check to see if there is too much moisture in the cement; moisture will keep the paint from adhering properly. Tape a two-foot square of plastic to the wall with duct tape and leave it for a day or two. If there is moisture or discoloration under the plastic, the cement should not be painted.
If it looks good, decide what texture you would like the walls to be. If the surface is very rough and you would like it smoother, use a masonry filler and trowel to fill in the gaps and grooves to your liking. Clean the surface with a detergent-based cleanser or power wash, making sure there is no lingering dust or loose material on the walls.
If the cement is very smooth you will need to help the paint adhere by etching the surface with an acid-based etching solution or vigorous brushing with a wire brush.
Now, some words of caution: Wear a mask and gloves while scraping and etching. Some etching products, such as muriatic acid, are dangerous to use and dispose of, and wire brushes can raise stuff into the air that you don't want in your lungs. And when it's time to paint, ventilate, ventilate, ventilate! An enclosed basement room and paint vapors can make you pretty sick.

Hezbollah, for its part, fired rockets and missiles into northern Israel from launching pads, which were often enmeshed in civilian neighborhoods. More than a thousand Lebanese civilians were killed, and 43 Israeli civilians. When it was over, and Israel had withdrawn, Hezbollah claimed victory, based mostly on the fact of its survival and the memory of its role in driving out the Israelis in 2000. Its leaders promised to rebuild the homes destroyed by the Israelis.
Some four years later, most of those promises have been fulfilled. A poster of Hassan Nasrallah, Hezbollah's secretary general, reads "When he talks, he does." The special international tribunal investigating Rafiq Hariri's assassination is expected to indict senior members of Hezbollah by the end of the year, and Hezbollah has responded by blaming the killing on Israel and trying to pressure Saad Hariri to repudiate the inquiry into his father's murder. Many fear that, if backed into a corner, Hezbollah will use force to maintain its place in Lebanese politics.
I discussed the rise of Hezbollah with Hanin Ghaddar, the managing editor of Now Lebanon, an online newspaper founded following the March 14 protests that aims to be a force for positive change in Lebanon. Looking out from her 12th-floor office in the northern suburb of Sin al-Fil—the Elephant's Tooth—over the growing city ("There is hardly any green left," she pointed out), Ghaddar explained that Hezbollah's support does not come only from a core of deeply believing Shiites in the southern heartland; a broader constituency is impressed by Hezbollah's successes and swayed by its delivery of money and social services. The cultural page of Hezbollah's newspaper, Al-Akhbar, features articles about Jorge Luis Borges and photographs of women in tank tops and jeans—hardly the stuff of stereotypical Islamist propaganda. Hezbollah affiliates not only write reviews of the latest art shows, some of them actually participate in arts events organized by the leading secular-minded curators of Beirut.
That the world has once again started acknowledging the city's tremendous appeal is a source of satisfaction for regular Beirutis. But the people I met constantly reminded me that they were here before the international media rediscovered them in the past few years. "Beirut is not undergoing a renaissance," insisted Christine Tohme, the founder of Ashkal Alwan, over ginger infusions in a quiet café where one artist after another came over to pay their respects. "We have been working here for nearly 20 years, building institutions." Statistics compiled by the Order of Engineers and Architects of Beirut show that Tohme is also right—quite literally—with regard to building. Contrary to some reports, there is no boom, just a steady drumbeat of construction. Large, multistory structures are not being built at any higher a rate since 2005 than they were from 2000 to 2005.

City departments advise against bat exposure
By Sheharyar Rizwan, Staff Writer : May 7, 2013 : Updated: May 7, 2013 10:41pm
Photo By Express-News file photoTwo city departments want children taught to never touch a bat.
Carol Schliesinger, spokeswoman for Metropolitan Health District, said a recent increase in the number of incidents where people were exposed to bats spurred officials to remind the public of the danger of bats and the proper procedures to follow when there is an encounter with a bat.
People, particularly children, need "to understand it is very dangerous to play with a bat," Schliesinger said.
The guidelines instruct children to inform an adult immediately if they see or touch a bat.
If an individual or a pet makes contact with a bat, call Animal Care Services at 311 to have the bat picked up for testing.
State law dictates any actual or potential rabies exposure must be reported to ACS for investigation and potential testing, Schliesinger said.
The guideline also says that if a bat is within a home or building, try to confine it to a room or area by closing any open doors or windows, but avoid any direct contact with the bat.
Also, avoid striking the bat, as physical trauma can damage the brain and make it impossible to conduct rabies laboratory tests, according to the city's news release. Wait for Animal Care Services to respond.
The city and state require that all pet dogs and cats be vaccinated against rabies annually.

I've been reporting Marvel news here as I see them, most recently about Scarlett Witch & Quicksilver being in the Avengers Sequel among other posts. Now this one is a bit on the the long side so I won't "Quote Wrap" the whole thing. So I'll leave it at the link and let anyone read it from there at their leisure. First the article discusses the possibility of another Iron Man film(s) without Robert Downey Jr who hasn't signed on for another Iron Man film. He has said that if he were to do another one, he would want to do it tomorrow. But they wouldn't make another one until after Avengers 2 and that puts it after 2015. And he wants to start focusing on a third Sherlock film as well as other franchises.
Personally in my opinion, leave it at 3 and don't recast the role. When you start doing one after another after another, it has the tendency to kill the franchise. Granted its worked for Star Trek, Star Wars, and Lord of the Rings to name a few. But there's the Fast & Furious series, Saw, Resident Evil, and Paranormal Activity is the current constant repeating franchise. Its like give it a rest already, but stop before you ruin a good franchise.
I will leave the rest of the article to those who want to read it. It talks about other films in store for the Marvel Cinematic Universe including Ant Man, Guardians of the Galaxy, and Black Panther to name a few. Enjoy....

iPad Apps
FileMaker Go
If you use FileMaker for work, you'll want to add FileMaker Go to your iPad (it also works on iPhones). It does require a FileMaker license, but for those who are already deep into this program, you'll be thankful to have all your business work at your fingertips with the app. It's flexible, collaborative, and well designed for the iPad.
Prices vary; free version available
Among file-syncing apps, one of our favorites for the iPad specifically is IDrive. It's similar to Microsoft OneDrive, Google's Google Drive, or any other similar service, but IDrive gives you 5GB of storage for free and a lovely interface for managing your files. For a very reasonable $49.50 per year, you can get a full 150GB of space. If you need to find your files fast, and you also want to make sure you're backing up all those photos and videos saved to your iPad, IDrive is a great choice.
Pages, Numbers, Keynote (for iPad)
$9.99 each; free with new iOS devices
On the iPad, you could buy a three-in-one office suite for word processing, spreadsheets, and presentations, such as Polaris Office ($12.99), or you could stick with Apple's own set of productivity apps collectively known as iWork. You'll have to download each app separatelyPages, Numbers, and Keynote, which are free to new iOS device owners and cost $9.99 each for anyone rocking an older iPad. On the iPad, these apps are extremely powerful and feature-rich, which means they take up a good chunk of space on your iPad. Because files save to iCloud, they're easily accessible from any other Apple device, as well as via the iWork Web app (free). The iPad's cramped on-screen keyboard can slow down productivity, so if you're serious about using the iPad for work, pick up the Apple iPad Keyboard Dock ($69, direct), too.
Penultimate (for iPad)
99 cents
%displayPrice% at %seller% Fast, flexible, and friendly, Penultimate is a first-rate handwriting app (sans keyboard) for the iPad that aims to replace your favorite pen with your index finger. Using the app is second nature because it's nearly the same as doodling in a paper notebook. When paired with a touch stylus like the Kensington Virtuoso ($24.99), Penultimate can scale to the professional demands of engineers, architects, and industrial designers. At less than a buck, Penultimate is a bargainand an Editors' Choice.
PaperPort Notes (for iPad)
%displayPrice% at %seller% If you need a free iPad note-taking app that lets you speak whatever you want to write down, PaperPort Notes is the best option. PaperPort also syncs with Dropbox or Box to provide easy storage. If you're already comfortable using dictation software, the app is a breeze to use. Moreover, it doesn't contain a single advertisement. It's not quite picture-perfect, with a few interface idiosyncrasies. Still, among free note-taking apps, it's one that can really boost your productivity.
Polaris Office (for iPad)
%displayPrice% at %seller% To get work done effectively on an iPad, you need an app that lets you access your preferred storage system, create new documents, and edit existing documents from your preferred storage area. Apps that do one or two of those things are a dime a dozen, but it's hard to find a good one that can do them all. The three-in-one productivity app Polaris Office ($12.99) for both iPhone and iPad radically changes the office landscape. It's an alternative to Apple's iWork suite for editing and creating documents, one that also gives you access to a few of the major storage services, such as Dropbox and Google Drive (formerly Google Docs). You can edit your existing spreadsheets, Powerpoint files, and Word documents. You can also create new ones and save them locally or to your storage service.

In a sudden stroke of inspiration, you visualize a brilliant idea for a charity event. You start planning immediately. But you realize that you're all alone. So how do you get people to help you?
Here are 6 tips on how to find volunteers for a charity:
Research and Plan it well
Since this is your idea, you have to arm yourself with the right amount of information. Research about the charity you wish to help. Look into it and plan the pre-event, the event itself, and the post-event activities that will happen. Plan everything down to the last detail.
Have everything in black and white as your volunteers will surely ask a lot of questions about your plans, and you need to be backed up and be able to answer all those. If you have no idea where to start, read this from Punchbowl.
Call a Friend
You don't need to look far for your volunteers. This part should not be hard; pull out your contacts and start calling. Share your plans and visions to your friends. And since they are your friends, you need not be a good public speaker to convince them. Who knows, you might be sharing the same sentiments all along.
If they don't have the time, I'm sure it would not be too much to ask for help in spreading the word. The word of mouth is still the most effective way of advertising; words spread easily.
Use Social Media
Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and the like have millions of users. With that much people on the cyberspace, someone is bound to be interested in your event. Create catchy slogans and flashy ads, create online sign-up sheets and put up meaningful, promotional videos. Remember to place your contact details in every post so they would know where to reach you.
Use social media wisely to advertise your event. Ask your friends to like and share. Information spreads quickly in social networks especially now, since everyone is most likely online most of the time. You'll have your volunteers in no time.
Promotional gifts
Never underestimate the power of promotional gifts. Everyone loves anything that is FREE that they would do just about anything to get them. If you can afford it, give out little freebies to everyone who will sign up. If your lack funds, you can always partner with a socio-civic organization. Or look around for businesses and companies to sponsor your event. Most likely you'll find that it's easy to find a company to sponsor your event.
Be Visible at Local Events
The best chances of finding your volunteers are during local events in your area such as country fairs, competitions, etc. As long as you have a lot of people gathered in one place, getting a volunteer would be far from impossible. Print out flyers and brochures. Flash them a smile as you hand it to them.
While you're at it, you may want to brush up a little on your sales talk. Don't forget to bring your pleasing personality with you! Check out Rink Works on how to become more persuasive.
Old School Ads
Talk to local radio stations and have them advertise your event there. Create a booth and place a sign-up sheet, have brochures ready to be given out. Old school advertising never goes out of style!
Finding volunteers would not be as easy as you hope it would be, but patience and determination are the keys to success! They might not have the same pipe dream as you do for the charity, but it's up to you to motivate them and open their eyes. Remember, they're already there with you, you just have to infect them with your passion.

The most delicious burgers in town!!!
Posted by OOOHGORDON on 10/10/2008
Have a hankering for a great tasting old fashioned burger that you cannot seem to find anymore these days? Then this is the place for you! Not only are you asked how you would like your patty cooked but they get it right too! The buffalo meat is really lean but rich in flavor...if you love beef burgers then you will absolutely love the buffalo. Salad bar has a nice selection to choose from. Hole in the wall atmosphere but with great food and good prices.
Posted by Mark Buor on 05/09/2007
All the food is good and fresh, I usually have the buffalo burger, I also enjoy the turkey burger, the salad bar is great, very good seclection of vegetables and sometimes a good selection of fuites & toppings to go with it, but the salad dressings which could be better. This review is for the West Portal location, I haven't been to the 18th St location.
Posted by psuflita on 01/14/2007
Kind of a hole in the wall - but fresh burgers cooked to order. Teriyaki & swiss is our favorite. Turkey burger yummy. Everything is fresh and best bargain in town as well.
Posted by Health conscious hedonist on 04/17/2006
Love the buffalo burgers! They always cook my burger exactly how I ask for it. Everyone is very friendly and the food is excellent. I've had several dishes and all of them have been very tasty. The salad bar is very good and has a wide selection. Overall, a good place for a good healthy burger.

The coolest thing about this restaurant is that they have buffalo, but only if you want it in a burger. It's got a very midwestern feel to it, small and quaint. Vegetarians are definitely not welcome. They actually ask you how you want your burgers or steak, then get it right! Affordable, and a nice place to go in West Portal.
