The ECO Kitchen (Enhancing Community Opportunities) will expand entrepreneurship opportunities to 100 vulnerable women to set up food retail carts thereby improving their income generating skills.
What is the issue, problem, or challenge?
There is a link between poverty, alcohol consumption and domestic abuse. In patriarchal indian households, women are often the target of violence. Eventhough children are not directly abused, the money which could be used for their education and care is misappropriated on drugs or alcohol. The project provides income generating skills and employment opportunities to women either victims of domestic violence, spouses of drug users or women who care for someone living with HIV or other diseases.
How will this project solve this problem?
By selling food at friendly price, women bring money home and food security in the community. They are also able to afford education and care to their kids, which leads to increase their self-esteem, empowerment feelings and ability to prevent abuse.
Potential Long Term Impact
We will reach 100 more women to develop their entrepreneurship and empowerment to allow them to save money and access to a bank account and loans and finally to reach financial independance to offer a proper livelihood to their family.

(ABC 6 NEWS) -- A Rochester teen was injured during a farming accident Monday evening.
According to police, two 17-year-old males were working in a cow pasture in Marion Township around 7:50pm. One of the teens had just parked a truck with a hay wagon, when police say the truck slipped out of gear.
The second teen was standing between the truck and wagon, and was pinned. The hitched pierced the back of his leg, causing a serious injury. That teenager was taken to the hospital by ambulance. There is not a condition update at this time.

Peachpittv.com - Photoshop World '08 is coming to Vegas in September. In the meantime, for PSW '07, author Matt Kloskowski
demonstrates a few simple techniques that will help you enhance a photo in 5 minutes.
How to Enhance a Photo in Five Minutes,digital,enhancement,kloskowski,matt,peachpit,photo,photography,photoshop,tips,tv,world
Grab video code:
The book that I got up here it is elements five retouching and restoration. However, find anything about elements is that it is very, very similar to Photoshop so all of the retouching techniques I doing in it. Work inside Photoshop so instead of showing an elements I have got some retouching things for Photoshop and I call it the five minute portrait retouch because I hope it takes five minutes. So will start of here and here we have a photo of Eliza. First, thing I usually do is start of with the eyes. So there are some really simple things you can do. Zoom into the eyes here. Create yourself a brand new layer and it sounds kind of silly if we want to white in the eyes. I am actually going to paint with white and I warned you know it looks bad when I start.
But it looks better when I finished, there is one key step to it. So it looks bad at first but it looks better in the end here. Will take the brush tool, really small and just paint inside the whites of the eyes. You can use your left and right bracket keys and you can resize your brushes. You should not get all of it, just the larger parts there. Just do the same thing on the other side. If you happen to go too far like I just did, I just grab the eraser tool. I will just press the letter "e" and just erase a way any of those areas at the bottom there. Now I told you it looks really bad when start of, before after not good.
But if you change the layer blend mode from normal, go down to soft light. It blends the white end with the original texture that is back behind the eye and then if it is too much just drops your opacity down to about 50% and you get the best the both forums. So before—after very subtle but it is does things that draw you right into those eyes. Now just to make things easier after I do this, I usually know I am not going to go back and change it. So I am working myself out of a job by telling you to flattened. I just press command or control+A and I flattened but that is what I do. I flattened it. I do not save the layer because I know I am not going to go back change and change it. If you find yourself going back and changing it, you will probably want to save that layer.
Next thing will do here, enhance the actual color of the eyes so I make two very simple selections. One circle, hold down the shift key, make another circle and I am going to press command "j" on the mock control "j" on the pc and that puts the eyes unto their on layer. So what will do here is we want to bring some sparkle to the eye, bring a little bit more color. Change the layer button mode for normal and go down to, I say color dodge. All right, now forget about the fact that the circles around the eye look bad what it does to the eyes is actually pretty cool. So I can hide all that and I do it by adding a layer mask and if I just click the layer mask icon it adds in a white. And then I have to go in and paint with black to remove things.
But if I alt or option click it adds in black and then I can just paint with white so I grab my brush. Switch to white and just paint in the eyes, if it is too much drop the opacity down. What is also cool is that we did add the layer mask so now any changes we make on this layer are only going to be made to the eyes, right. So if I go to hue saturation and I can change the hue, I can increase the saturation. We can add a little bit more of that green color that she has their. So will settle again by zooming here before-after a very, very settle but we get a nice little color change in their and then just like before command "e" to merge down and flattened.
All right, next thing will do eyebrows duplicate that layer. Command "j" and this one easy, I just grab the burn tool at a very, very low exposure. So take my exposure down to 10% or 15% and I will zoom in on the eyes and all I do is just give a couple quick swipes right over the eyebrows. Just like that, okay and now before-after. Again settle, if it is ever is too much we did the work on a separate layers so you can just drop the opacity. All right, so let us just merged out one down. Next thing will work on here just a little bit on the nose because when Eliza looks at here photo we want Eliza to realize that, that is herself. We do not want to be somebody else.
But you can do very settle things here so I grab the lasso tool and make a very simple selection around the nose. There is that fine edge dialogue up here if I click on it and I can feather my selection. What that does soften the edges so it is not a real harsh edge. Click okay and we are going to use filter just door hinge. All right, this one kind of funny to watch if I click on the preview you see. So do not go to high here, you can obviously go very far something in the 20% to 30% range, it looks pretty well. That is before and that is after. Again very settle, it might even move up just a little bit and click okay. So that is the nose.
The mouth a couple quick things you can do to it. You may or may not want to do you can see after the technique but I take the selection tool my lasso just lasso the mouth very quickly. Command "j" put it up on to its own layer and then you tell me if you like it if change the blend mode to multiply. See it darkens the lips. However, it make everything else look bad. So what we do is add that layer mask again option click, it hides the whole effect and then I take my brush tool. A very low opacity brush and just paint a little bit more color back end. Not only does it add to the red color that is on the lips. But you can see it also brings out a little bit of the highlights that are on the lips. I almost make it—to look a bit sharper.
Again, it is on its own layer and we use that low opacity brush so we can paint to a couple of times. It looks a little bit too much to me so I just drop the opacity down. All right, and we will merge out that one down. Last thing we will work on here is the skin so we will duplicate the layer and what I want to do is blur the skin. All right, this helps me to easy. Helps me remove blemishes and also helps me soften any of the texture and any wrinkles that are on there. So we go to filter, blur and I love the surface blur. Two reasons one it just seems to do is smoother blur, then like a gaussian blur will do. But the other thing I like about it is it lives me less work later on. Because what surface blur, see what lives your details some what sharp where gaussian blur just blurs the heck out of everything. Surface blur leaves everything fairly sharp.
So when got to go back later and get those details back it is easy. So I will click okay and then you can pretty guess, what I am going to do next is the same thing that we have been doing. Add a layer mask and then just paint out the areas that I do not want. So let us add that layer mask. What I do not want to do is blur any of the key feature so eyes are big no, no, no. So we would paint with a black brush and bring back all the detail on the eyes. The same thing with the eyebrows, bring back our detail right there. Down here on the nose we need to bring back a little bit of the detail that gives just the definition to the face and then the lips. Bring back our detail there and then anything else if you want to bring back some detail up top, the hair is going to be a big one. See what it did to the hair?
So again, I can use a larger brush. I am just heading that right bracket kit and bring back all of our detail there and the last thing that I would do is, if I zoom in, let us go a 100%. I am not a huge fan to that porcelain look so we can just drop the opacity down. 50% and bring back some of the original texture. All right, next merge it down and let just sharp in, duplicate the layer. Filter, sharp in, smart sharp in and let us go with about 115 and if you click it is kind of cool if you click on the preview, it shows that before and then when let go your mouse button it shows you after. So before-after, probably go a little higher and will click okay and same thing. Add the layer mask and let us paint the way the areas that look bad so if you look at the skin textures see what we did? See how we sharp in all the skin texture and that is what you do now want to do. So if we add our layer mask here and just paint with black on any skin texture areas. Will bring back that smoother skin that was underneath and then what it look really nice is if we get the hair to. Do not paint the way the sharpening from the hair. Now I zoom in just take a look the before and after. So that is before sharpening and that is after.
All right, now I flattened and let us just take a look where we came from and where we at now so I am going to duplicate that. This is before and that is after so Eliza is still Eliza, she is not a different person but we just took some of the distractions away. So once again before and after.

Thank you for your interest in pursuing a degree in the Department of Education at Valparaiso University. A Bachelor of Science degree in Education at Valparaiso University prepares teacher candidates to serve as educators in elementary and middle schools (grades K-6). To earn a bachelor's degree, course requirements are divided into three parts. These include general education requirements, education requirements, and minor or major requirements.
General Education,
Elementary Education, and Minor/Major Requirements
General education courses fulfill necessary requirements for a liberal arts education when earning a Bachelor of Science degree. Education requirements are designed to prepare students for a successful career in elementary and middle schools (grades K-6). Education courses are organized by "blocks," which can be thought of as sets of education courses grouped together by semester and organized by a common theme. Minor or major area requirements are determined by the subject area prospective educators would like to teach.
Licensable minor or major content areas for elementary education include: Art, Biology, Chemistry, Chinese, English, Environmental Science, French, German, Geography, History, Mathematics, Music, Physical Education, Physics, Psychology, Spanish, and Special Education, and Teaching of English to Speakers of other Languages (TESOL). In addition to these areas, we are also proud to offer licensure in grades P-12 in Art, Music, Physical Education, and World Languages (Chinese, French, German, Latin, Spanish).
Sample Plan of Study Guides
Below you will find a sample plan of study guide that depicts how each set of course requirements — general education, teacher education, and minor or major requirements — can be layered into a four year plan of study. Please note that these sample plans are intended for prospective students interested in learning more about degree requirements in the Department of Education at Valparaiso University. Current students work with their academic advisor to develop a personalized plan of study, which is designed to meet their unique goals and needs.
If you are interested in learning more about how the Department of Education at Valparaiso University can support you as your vocation in education continues to unfold, please contact the Academic Advisor, Victoria Brockett, at 219-464-5580 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Peter Blood, a physician and English gentleman, turned pirate out of a rankling sense of injustice. Barely escaping the gallows after his arrest for treating wounded rebels, Blood is enslaved on a Barbados plantation. When he escapes, no ship sailing the Spanish Main is safe from Blood and his men. This classic adventure is alive with color, romance, and excitement and smoothly comments on the social injustices of slavery, the dangers of intolerance, the power of love, the role of fate, and the ways oppression can drive good men to desperate measures.
118,500 words, with a reading time of ~ 7.2 hours (~ 474 pages), and first published in 1922. This DRM-Free edition published by epubBooks, 2011.
There are currently no other reviews for this book.
Peter Blood, bachelor of medicine and several other things besides, smoked a pipe and tended the geraniums boxed on the sill of his window above Water Lane in the town of Bridgewater.
Sternly disapproving eyes considered him from a window opposite, but went disregarded. Mr. Blood's attention was divided between his task and the stream of humanity in the narrow street below; a stream which poured for the second time that day towards Castle Field, where earlier in the afternoon Ferguson, the Duke's chaplain, had preached a sermon containing more treason than divinity.
These straggling, excited groups were mainly composed of men with green boughs in their hats and the most ludicrous of weapons in their hands. Some, it is true, shouldered fowling pieces, and here and there a sword was brandished; but more of them were armed with clubs, and most of them trailed the mammoth pikes fashioned out of scythes, as formidable to the eye as they were clumsy to the hand. There were weavers, brewers, carpenters, smiths, masons, bricklayers, cobblers, and representatives of every other of the trades of peace among these improvised men of war. Bridgewater, like Taunton, had yielded so generously of its manhood to the service of the bastard Duke that for any to abstain whose age and strength admitted of his bearing arms was to brand himself a coward or a papist.

Nephrotic syndrome is a warning sign that something is damaging your kidneys. It causes high levels of protein in the urine and low levels of protein in the blood.
Many things can cause nephrotic syndrome, but the most common are kidney diseases and diabetes.
Nephrotic syndrome will usually get better if the cause is treated. But in some cases, it may lead to long-term kidney problems and kidney failure.

When 19-year-old Jean Turlington steps into the spotlight at the 87th annual Debutante Ball on Sept. 6, she'll not only be basking in the glow of her debut but nearly mirroring similar steps taken by her grandmother some 61 years before, and in the same dress.
For the younger Turlington, Friday night's events will be steeped in nearly as much family tradition as in the rich historic aspects of the ball itself, hosted each year by The Terpsichorean Club of North Carolina. Turlington girls have participated in the ball since the elder Jean Turlington's debut in 1952. Both Jean's daughters, Neale and Selma, were debs, and granddaughter Callie followed in those footsteps a couple years back. The younger Jean's turn arrives this Friday night.
While there will be many special aspects to this weekend's Debutante Ball, the 19-year-old said being able to wear her grandmother's dress ranks at the very top.
"I feel so honored to wear Mama's dress," the younger Jean said during a recent interview, smiling across at the grandmother she lovingly refers to as Mama. The elder Turlington couldn't contain her own smile as the two recalled the decision, the fitting and the soon-to-be end result, often completing each other sentences as they shared the memories.
"It will be really exciting, putting on this dress and being introduced. There's so much tradition involved, so much history. I'm thrilled, but I'm really a little nervous, too," the debutante said.
The matriarch of the Turlington family pats her granddaughter's arm lovingly and gives her that reassuring grandmother smile, as if to say, "you have nothing to worry about."
The younger Turlington relaxes almost immediately. "It's going to be fun. Who knows, I might have on the oldest dress there."
The two exchange a knowing glance, nodding almost simultaneously. "It probably will be," the elder Turlington acknowledges.
The 19-year-0ld, daughter of Tom and Margaret Turlington, chose the dress after first having tried on both her Aunt Selma's and Aunt Neale's gowns. Grandmother Jean's was hanging in the closet and the younger namesake decided to give it a try, too, unsure that it would fit.
"It was perfect," the younger Jean said, the smile returning. "I couldn't believe it. I was excited I could get into it. There was really very little that had to be done … it had to be cleaned and altered just a bit at the top."
Recognizing that the dress was a perfect fit — both in size and meaning — the debutante's decision was made.
"I was trying to be so careful not to encourage her to wear it," said grandmother Jean, "but I have to admit I thought it would be wonderful it she did."
"She did, too" interjects the younger Turlington. "I was trying on all the dresses, and I ask what she thought, but she just let me decide; she didn't try to influence me."
The decision, the 19-year-old said, was an easy one to make. "I loved all the dresses, but this one is extra special. I love that my grandmother wore it to her Debutante Ball and that my great-grandmother made it. There's so much heritage there, so much significance. I am very honored to be able to wear it."
The elder Turlington, who moved to Clinton with her parents as a young girl, recalled that her mother was a very good seamstress. "She had great taste as far as style, too. So when I became a deb she made my dress. It's been hanging in the closet all these years. I'm thrilled that it will be worn again."
So, too, is the younger Jean. "I like the tradition in our family of passing down the dresses … the gloves too. It's going to be exciting wearing Mama's dress; I'll be able to show it off and tell the stories, too."
The younger Turlington, a graduate of St. Mary's in Raleigh and a sophomore at Washington and Lee University, is also excited about the entire debutante experience, noting the great tradition and history surrounding it.
"It's very historic, but it's also a great way to get to know a lot of people. I've met so many new people during this experience. I've made connections I might not, otherwise, have been able to make. So there's the traditional aspect, the heritage and the broader aspect of getting to know so many people. It's a wonderful experience," the teen said.
Her grandmother nods her head in agreement as the younger Turlington shares her thoughts. "It's a wonderful experience," she interjects. "I couldn't be prouder of her … all of them" she said. "God has been good to me with my family. I have lots of pride in my children and in my grandchildren."
The pride, evident on her face as the two Jeans talk about the debutante ball, will likely swell even more come Friday night when her namesake is introduced wearing her dress.
"I'm not sure I can put into words how this really feels," the elder Turlington said, the smile returning as she glances at her granddaughter. "It's special, that's for certain."
The Debutante Ball is Friday, Sept. 6 at Meymandi Concert Hall.

How long does it take to receive my Moxie Jean Mailer Bag after I have ordered it?
We send out Moxie Jean Mailer Bags via First Class mail. The bag should arrive within 5-7 days. Look for a large white envelope with a gray bag folded up inside.
I sent my Moxie Jean Mailer Bag in. When can I expect to hear from you?
First, we'll write to you from our Seller Support email address, so please add email@example.com to your "safe senders" list.
We use Parcel Post from the United States Postal Service to return bags to us. This is a slow method, and so your bag can take anywhere from 7-14 days to reach us and a few days to be processed. We know it's so hard to be patient, but we promise to send you an email when we've processed it. ☺
If you haven't heard from us 3 weeks after you send the bag, first search your inbox and your SPAM folder for an email from email@example.com, as many times sellers have simply missed our notification email. If you can't find anything, please drop us a line at firstname.lastname@example.com and we'll check on it.
How much do you pay for different items and how did you come up with those amounts?
Our full pricing grids are available at the bottom of our Clothing Purchase Policies. Prices range from $.40 for a baby onesie to $5.00 or more for a dress from a Better brand.
We determine our prices through our knowledge of the brands and the market for baby and kids' clothing. We know what we can sell clothing for and we take into account the work required to sort, steam, style, photograph and store clothing and then attract and serve buyers.
Why didn't you accept all of my items? I thought they were perfectly fine.
First, it's in BOTH of our interests for us to buy as many items from you as possible--we make nothing from the items we don't accept and instead donate them to families in need. So when we see quality clothing we truly want to be able to accept it.
Usually, if you have read our guidelines and looked over your clothing carefully, we might find very minor stains, but more often it comes down to wash wear and fading. This is subjective but our team of moms who do intake ask themselves, "if I bought this for my own kids and opened the box when it arrived, would I be thrilled and say it's 'like new'? Or would I be disappointed?" If we can't honestly say that we'd be thrilled to receive it ourselves, we don't purchase it.
Why should I sell to you when I can make more on eBay or at my local consignment sale?
You can probably make more money selling individual pieces on eBay, but most moms find it's not worth all the extra time and effort required. It's easy to forget that consignment sales take a 30%-35% cut, as well as a $10 "consignor fee." Add in those costs, and selling to Moxie Jean often nets more money for much, much less work. For a comparison of selling to Moxie Jean versus selling at a local consignment sale, please see this article.
How do I know what you decided to purchase?
When we process your bag we log every single item inside. You will receive an email from us with all the items we purchased and how much we paid for them, along with all the items we did not purchase and the reason why.
What happens to the clothing that I send in that you don't buy? Can I get it back?
Any clothing that you we are not able to purchase is donated to charities serving children and families in need. Moxie Jean does not receive any compensation or tax deductions for these donations. Most of our donations go to The Kids' Pantry in Mt. Prospect, IL. We have also sent donations to the victims of Hurricane Sandy in New Jersey, the tornadoes that hit Washington, IL and to individual families brought to our attention by our charity partners. We are not able to return to you any clothing that we do not purchase, so please keep that in mind when filling your Moxie Jean Mailer Bag.
How do I cash out my Moxie Money?
You can respond to the email you receive from us indicating you would like to cash out. You can also login to your account and press the "Request a Check" button. Remember, though, you receive an extra 25% bonus for using your Moxie Money instead of cashing out. Hundreds of new outfits are uploaded every Monday and Thursday, so you might wait a bit to see if anything catches your eye.

AUBURN, Mass. — Auburn Recreation and Culture will sponsor its fifth Massachusetts Special Olympic basketball tournament at Auburn Middle School this year. Volunteers are needed to help with the event.
The tournament will be held from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on March 9 and 10.
Organized by Kristen Pappas, Auburn's director of recreation, the event is hosted in the middle school gym this year.
Pappas said that past events have been a success, "thanks to the generosity of Superintendent Maryellen Brunelle and High School Principal Casey Handfield for opening their doors and hearts."
The tournament has also had tremendous volunteer participation from local church groups, athletic teams, cheering squads, scouts and local businesses.
Furthermore, Pappas said the Auburn/Webster Elks Lodge is once again donating hundreds of hot meals for the event, and the Auburn American Legion Post Color Guard will present colors.
Those interested in volunteering should contact the Auburn Recreation and Culture Department at (508) 832-7736 or email Pappas.

BEAUMONT, Texas -
2013-14 Schedule.
1013-14 Roster.
With the start of the 2013-14 basketball season just days away, focus in the media switched from the gridiron to the hardwood Wednesday morning for the annual Southland Conference basketball coaches media teleconference. The two-day event, which has Lamar coaches slated for Thursday morning, signifies the beginning of a new season each year.
Lamar is set to tipoff off the new season Saturday, Nov. 9 against Butler in Indianapolis, Ind. Cardinal fans will have an opportunity to grab their first look at the LU men Friday when they host McMurry in their lone exhibition before the start to the regular season. The game against the Warhawks is slated to begin at 7 p.m. from the Montagne Center.
Coming off a 3-28 season a year ago, the Cardinals enter the upcoming season flying under the radar. LU has been picked to finish 10th in the conference according to the preseason polls of league head coaches and sports information directors released Wednesday morning. Lamar head coach Pat Knight, and his youthful team, enter the season eager to erase the bitter memory of last season.
"To me the most important thing is to get that bad taste out of our mouth from last year," said Knight. "I'm so tired of talking about last year. It was terrible. No one is more upset about last year than I am. If it was up to me I would be starting the regular season this Friday."
Knight opens the new season with three of five starters back from last year, but seven new players, including the five junior college transfers. Knight's youthful squad will be tested by fire early and often as the Cardinals will play road games on both coasts, in all four time zones and will play games against four teams that advanced to the NCAA Championships last season.
The Cardinals return two of their top four scores from last season, as well as their second and third leading rebounders, but after that it becomes a very young team. The Cardinals youth does not come from age but from lack of experience at the NCAA Division I level. With only one senior on the squad, Amos Wilson, Lamar will be relying on the newcomers to pick up quite a bit of the slack.
"These guys have gotten better from day one, but we still have a long way to go," said Knight. "We've got the talent, and we are deep this year, but we have to continue to work on these guys doing what we want done. I like where we're at right now but we still have a long way to go."
Knight's seven newcomers bring with them quite a bit of success. The incoming class adds immediate help at both ends of the floor. Four of the five transfers averaged double-figure scoring during their juco careers, while Gainesville, Fla. Native, Octavius Green, was the nation's second-leading rebounder averaging 13 rebounds per contest. Tyran de Lattibeaudiere comes to Beaumont from one of the top junior college programs in the country. One of the country's leading shot blockers, de Lattibeaudiere, guided Vincennes University to the NJCAA Final Four, while averaging 5.0 blocks per game during his sophomore season.
The Cardinals have tabbed George Mason for the home opener. The game against GMU tips off at 7 p.m. from the Montagne Center. Tickets for the game against George Mason, and any Lamar basketball game can be purchased at the LU Ticket Office by clicking here.

Union supporters
For the union supporters up North. I have a friend who works for the power company down here. There were several convoys of power folks going up to help the people in need during Sandy. They were turned back and sent back home and were not allowed to help because they were not part of a union. If you're a union supporter, you need to look at what's going on here.
Collard kraut
To the person looking for collard kraut, I found some at Southside Produce.
Our legislative delegation has no one to blame but themselves for the long waits to vote last week. Everyone took longer to vote because of all the write-in votes for the petition candidates. Resolving the mess that kicked so many candidates off the June primary ballot should be their first priority when they return to Columbia in January.
New restaurant?
Are there really plans to put a restaurant in the parking lot in front of Lowe's? If so, why, when there is so much vacant space already available on the Southside of town?
Product search
I have two requests: Does anyone know where you can buy plastic soup spoons for eating soup and small packets of sugar-free jelly like you get in restaurants. I'm sure wholesale places sell them, but can they be obtained in any retail stores? Please answer in the Talk Back column if you know.
Dependent society
Talk about a dependent society. Do they ever want to do anything for themselves. Be responsible for yourself. We carry hand sanitizer in both cars, and my wife has a small one in her purse. Grow up and take care of yourself.

Crying Babies
If you or someone you know has an unsettled baby, and you don't know what to do, you may want to investigate taking your baby to a chiropractor.
As your child is being born, natural or Caesarean, the neck and back vertebrae can go out of alignment, causing vertebral subluxation complexes due to the stretching and compressing of the body as it emerges into the world. If your delivery included a prolonged pushing stage, forceps or vacuum extraction, or other form of assisted delivery, the chances of a misalignment are great.
If the misalignments, called vertebral subluxations, are big enough, the functioning of major systems in the body can be compromised. The digestive system may be affected and effective digestion of breastmilk and formula can cause major discomfort in your baby, leading to colic episodes.
What Is Colic?
Infantile colic is the term commonly used to describe an otherwise healthy infant who exhibits persistent, forceful crying for no apparent reason. The crying usually persists for several hours each day and is usually evident at least five days in each week. Parents' attempts to comfort the infant by holding and rocking the child, and making sure they are clean and fed have little or no effect on the condition. The affected infant will have a tense, rumbling abdomen, usually with knees flexed, tight muscles along the spine and be very gassy. Occasionally the head and neck will be arched backwards.
Many parents are hesitant of taking their small, helpless babies to see a chiropractor. The main reason being the "crunching and cracking" stereotype that chiropractic can have.
In actuality, the adjustments that a chiropractor will do on your baby is basically applying gently pressure with the fingers or with an adjustment instrument called an Activator to areas on the neck and back. You may see your baby totally relax before your eyes as the misalignments are corrected.
As with selecting any health care provider, you need to ask questions first, in order to make an informed decision. Being clear on the objective and the techniques that will be carried out is very important. Ask for referrals from family or friends that you can contact if you are unsure.
Chiropractic care can be very valuable in helping to calm the colic tendencies in a safe, natural environment.

American Idol
American Idol Top 6 Finalists Explain Their Song Choices! – Exclusive
This week on American Idol 2013, the Top 6 finalists had to choose songs from two very different themes: the "Burt Bacharach/Hal David Songbook" and "Songs You Wish You Wrote."
Wetpaint crashed rehearsals for the performance show to bring you the exclusive dish on what the Top 6 would be singing and why the finalists chose these songs to perform!
1. "Love Came Down" by Kari Jobe — "It's not a well known song but it's modern and I just love it."
2. "Anyone Who Had A Heart" by Dionne Warwick — "Lot of the songs were really old fashioned and I wasn't really connecting with them, but I listened to this song and it's really intense. It's easier to make it a more modern song."
1. "Help Me Make It Through The Night" by Kris Kristofferson — "I've always loved that song, and it's a song I wish I could have written."
2. "What The World Needs Now" by Burt Bacharach/Dionne Warwick — "I feel like it was the one on the list I could make my own more than any other."
1. "Angels" by Robbie Williams — "It's not my all time favorite song, but I do love it. And sometimes you have to sing songs that suit the show."
2. "(They Long To Be) Close To You" by Burt Bacharach — "I have never in my life heard (the songs), but I loved that song."
1. "Love on Top" by Beyonce — Love on Top - "Because it's a current song, that's upbeat and vocal it's not just all about the dancing."
2. "Say a Little Prayer" by Dionne Warwick — "I heard it on a movie one time and I just really liked it. Viewers can expect the unexpected tomorrow night."
1. "The Dance" by Garth Brooks — I chose the dance because for me, in the country world it's just one of those songs that everyone loves and lyrically is so deep."
2. "I'll Never Fall In Love Again" by Burt Bacharach/Dionne Warwick — "I think that one because Bobby Gentry had done it, and Sheryl Crow and I heard that Trisha Yearwood sang it, that made me feel like it would have a country feel. I'm trying to stay in my lane."
1. "Love Song" by The Cure, as sung by Adele — "Singing about love is my favorite thing to do over anything, and I love what Adele did with it. It's actually by The Cure."
2. "Don't Make Me Over" by Dionne Warwick —"It's the theme, and I just chose it. The challenges are the themes and it can be hard for me to get accustomed to singing things I don't know about, but it's all part of the game. You just have to sound like you grew up listening to it."

Fractional Orbital Bombardment System
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (June 2009)
The Fractional Orbital Bombardment System[1] (FOBS) was a Soviet ICBM program in the 1960s that after launch would go into a low Earth orbit and would then de-orbit for an attack. It had no range limit and the orbital flight path would not reveal the target location. This would allow a path to North America over the South Pole, hitting targets from the south, which is the opposite direction from which NORAD early warning systems are oriented.
The Outer Space Treaty banned nuclear weapons in Earth orbit. However, it did not ban systems that were capable of placing weapons in orbit, and the Soviet Union avoided violating the treaty by conducting tests of its FOBS system without live warheads.
The Soviets developed three missiles to employ FOBS, with only one entering service:
- The orbital missile 8K69 (also known as R-36orb) was initially deployed in 1968, with the first regiment put on alert in 1969.
- The Global Rocket 1, or GR-1, was cancelled due to engine problems.
- The R-46 was not developed, and eventually scrapped.
The U.S. Defense Support Program early warning satellites, first launched in 1970, enabled the US to detect a FOBS launch.
The SALT II agreement (1979) prohibited the deployment of FOBS systems:
- Each Party undertakes not to develop, test, or deploy:
- (...)
- (c) systems for placing into Earth orbit nuclear weapons or any other kind of weapons of mass destruction, including fractional orbital missiles;
The missile was phased out in January 1983 in compliance with this treaty.
The system shares many similarities with the concept of kinetic bombardment systems, with the exception of the use of a nuclear warhead as opposed to an inert projectile.

Historical Flag Policy
Canada has a rich heritage of historical flags which are the expression of its evolution over the centuries to its present state as a sovereign democratic nation. When properly and appropriately displayed, these flags help to understand, appreciate and honour Canada's history.
The Government of Canada is responsible for the policy governing the use of historical flags and for ensuring its proper application on all federal buildings and establishments in Canada and abroad. This policy may also be used as a guide by any Canadian citizen, organization and by other levels of government.
Historical Flags: For the purpose of this policy, historical flags are those which were used in the past by the Government of Canada or its colonial predecessors in New France and British North America to indicate jurisdiction, authority or ownership of property, or for use by armed forces on land, sea and air including those originating with metropolitan powers governing the colonies which eventually became Canada.
National Flag: is the Flag of Canada as approved by Parliament and proclaimed by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, Queen of Canada, on February 15, 1965.
Site: is any building or establishment under Federal jurisdiction in Canada and abroad.
Public event: is any ceremony, event or special day organized or celebrated by the Federal Government or held on its Sites.
Primacy of the National Flag
Historical flags may be displayed in appropriate places in a way that always clearly gives primacy to the National Flag.
The National Flag will always be flown on its own pole and may never be replaced by an historical flag. When historical flags are flown, the National Flag will also be flown.
Historical flags will be flown lower than and away from the National Flag. The top edge of the historical flags should never be flown higher than the lower edge of the National Flag. The distance separating the two poles will vary depending on the site but must, as with the height, emphasize the primacy of the National Flag.Historical flags may be flown in a particular location provided that:
- historic research demonstrates that a flag of this design can be meaningfully associated with the location;
- there is sufficient evidence on the design of the historical flag that it can be reproduced accurately;
- there is an educational component available to the public (e.g. plaque, brochure, website) explaining the significance and rationale for its display;
- there is a separate pole for each flag, as dictated by flag protocol.
When flown or carried at public events, historical flags should be displayed according to the established order of precedence for flags as stated in the "National Flag of Canada Policy".
Responsibility and administration of the policy
The Minister responsible for the administration of this policy is the Minister of Canadian Heritage.
Any queries should be brought forward to the office at Canadian Heritage responsible for the application of this policy.

AKRON -- Police are investigating a pair of armed robberies that took place Thursday night.
The first incident happened around 9 p.m. when the Family Dollar store in the 900 block of South Arlington Street was robbed by two masked men.
According to Akron Police, the suspects fled the scene with an unreported amount of cash.
The second robbery took place around 9:30 p.m. at a home in the 400 block of Sumner Street as five males were playing video games.
The victims told police that two other males came over to the house, possibly to play video games, when the evening took a violent turn.
Akron Police say that once inside the house, one suspect held the victims at gunpoint as the other male took their property.
The suspects ultimately fled with cell phones, more than $900 cash, a television, laptop computers and wallets.
Two of the victims were reportedly struck in the head by the armed suspect. Despite their visible injuries, the victims refused medical attention.
Anybody with information connected with either incident is asked to contact Akron Police.

We Like Your Style: La Touché, Individualism
Posted on January 14, 2013 by Ben Sherman There have been 0 comments
Last week we saw the sartorial bench mark of style raised in the cities capital with the second season of London Collections: Men.
Between all the catwalk shows and parties there was some serious style to be seen on the pavements of London. One of our favourite style spots was that of La Touché, a well-known freelancer and PR Manager of one of our go to mens style sites, Individualism. Wearing pieces from our new SS13 collection before anyone else it's safe to say that there was a reason La Touché was spotted not once, or twice by the street style paps, but three times.

Despite Mitsubishi Aircraft's confidence that sales prospects for the Mitsubishi MRJ regional jet will not be hurt by the recent delay announcement, analysts are less optimistic.
The delay of the MRJ90's first flight by more than 15 months to Q2 2015, with first delivery, to All Nippon Airways (ANA), moving back to the summer of 2017, cuts deeply into the first-mover advantage the MRJ has over Embraer's new E-Jet E2 family. Analysts also doubt the programme can secure any big orders before the aircraft actually flies.
With the most recent delay, the third since the programme's launch, the MRJ will only enter service a year ahead of Embraer's 97-seat E-190 E2 - provided neither airframer makes further schedule changes.
Data from Flightglobal's Ascend Online Fleets database indicates that Mitsubishi is to build four MRJs in 2017, before ramping up to produce 31 aircraft in 2018, followed by 51 in 2019. Based on current firm orders for 165 aircraft, production is scheduled to 2022.
Embraer, meanwhile, is expected to manufacture five E2s in 2018, followed by nine in 2019, before cranking up production rates into the 20s from 2020. With its 150 aircraft order book, production is to continue through to 2027.
"The delay does eat into the schedule advantage that the MRJ has had over Embraer's re-engined E2 series," says Ray Jaworowski, Forecast International's senior aerospace analyst. "Potential customers looking for early delivery slots will now take a serious look at both aircraft before making a purchase decision."
Rob Morris, senior consultant at Ascend, adds that the shortened period between the entry into service of the two aircraft works in favour of Embraer, which already has an advantage given its significant customer base for earlier E-Jets.
"It's also unlikely that the E2 will see similar delays given its derivative nature," he adds.
While the MRJ is a new aircraft project by the Japanese, the E2 is an upgraded version of Embraer's E-Jet family with new engines, wings and upgraded avionics. Both aircraft will be powered by Pratt & Whitney's geared turbofan engines - the PW1200G for the MRJ and the PW1900G for the E-190/195.
The MRJ delay, however, did not come as a complete surprise, especially in light of delays to other high profile programmes in recent years, namely the Boeing 787 and Bombardier CSeries. The delay was also somewhat anticipated considering Mitsubishi's position as a rookie airframer.
Analysts say it is imperative that Mitsubishi assuage concerns among customers and prospects, and also work to reduce any impact of programme delays on future orders.
"Mitsubishi needs to clearly explain to their customers (and prospects and the market) the rationale behind the delay. They also need to set out the revised programme and then demonstrate achievement of clear milestones towards the revised first flight and subsequent first delivery," says Morris.
He adds that further delays could "fundamentally damage the programme".
SkyWest Airlines, which made an order for 100 MRJ90s, with an option for an additional 100 of the type in 2012, had previously said that the availability of the MRJ in 2017 is one reason it picked the aircraft.
"We have seen delays recently of several aircraft programmes so this is common. If there are further delays, we would have to reconsider our response to this question," says its chief financial officer Michael Kraupp in response to questions on how the MRJ delay has affected SkyWest's fleet plans.
"I would also believe that the recently announced delay could have a temporary effect on current sales campaigns. At this time, we will simply have to wait and see how they deliver on their revised plan," he adds.
More than just impacting sales, the MRJ programme's delay could also have a knock-on impact on the launch of its stretched 100-seat variant. Mitsubishi told Flightglobal Pro at the Paris air show that airlines have requested a 100-seat regional jet, and that there is "a good chance" it will launch the project, though the focus is still on making sure the MRJ90 takes to the skies.
"Such a model would be a natural progression for the MRJ series, given the trend in the regional jet market toward larger capacity aircraft. If Mitsubishi chooses to launch the MRJ100, a significant delay in doing so would cede a considerable early sales advantage to such aircraft as Embraer's E2 series and the Bombardier CS100 CSeries model," says Jaworowski.
Mitsubishi has a backlog for 165 firm orders with 160 options.
Embraer, meanwhile, has a firm order for 100 E-175 E2 aircraft, 25 E-190 E2 and 25 E-195 E2, and another 150 of these aircraft on options and purchase rights. It has also secured letters of intent totalling 65 E-Jet E2s from unnamed customers.

Senators Ask SEC to Reject Carlyle Push to Ban Shareholder Suits
Feb. 3 (Bloomberg) -- The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission should deny Carlyle Group LP's attempt to block future shareholders from taking the company to court, three Democratic senators said in a letter to SEC Chairman Mary Schapiro.
Carlyle's provision "would unlawfully deprive investors of their ability to vindicate their statutory rights," Sens. Al Franken of Minnesota, Robert Menendez of New Jersey and Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut wrote in the letter dated today, aiming to influence the agency as it considers the Carlyle public-offering filing that could set a precedent for future IPOs. The letter said the SEC should "maintain its longstanding policy of opposing the inclusion of provisions requiring mandatory arbitration of shareholder disputes."
The Washington-based buyout firm amended a regulatory filing last month to require future shareholders to resolve claims against it through arbitration. The SEC, which blocked an initial public offering with a similar arbitration clause in the late 1980s, is deciding whether to allow Carlyle's offering to proceed. Doing so would ban investors in Carlyle and any future company that follows in its path from taking disputes to court.
Christopher Ullman, a spokesman for Carlyle, declined comment on the letter.
"Carlyle's blatant attempt to skirt accountability runs counter to the SEC's mission of protecting and advocating for the rights of investors," said Gary M. Paul, president of trial-lawyer group the American Association for Justice, in a statement yesterday.

With a long list of lens from various manufacturers, it's almost impossible for any company to come up with something out of the ordinary that would impress photography aficionados. However, this didn't stop Sigma from breaking the mold and what they've come up with is just downright jawdropping.
Folks, meet the Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 DC HSM, the world's first zoom lens with a fix f/1.8 aperture. Apart from boasting the brightest fixed aperture on a zoom lens, it also features Hypersonic Motor (HSM) that enables it to automatically lock in on a subject without creating too much noise.
Little is known about the lens' build, but judging from this stunning product shots, we can probably expect a premium build from it. Here's a quick look at the lens' specs:
Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 DC HSM specs:
Construction: 13 Elements in 11 groups
# of diaphragm blades: 9
Aperture Range: f/1.8 – f/22
Filter Size: ?67mm
Angle of view (35mm equivalent): 63.4°
Max. Magnification ratio: 1 : 5.2
Min. Focus distance: 30cm
Dimension: ?77mm x 94.0mm
Weight: 665
Sigma has yet to disclose the pricing and availability of the Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 DC HSM, but once they once they do, we're pretty sure that a lot of professional photographers will be getting this bad boy without second thought.

Masala Restaurant "7/10″ – Calgary – (Closed!)
175A 52nd Street SE Calgary, p:(403) 457-6055, http://www.masalarestaurant.ca, Map it.
You have to be looking for Masala to find it. A couple of U-turns off of 52nd St are required if you miss it off of Memorial Drive. We walked into a fairly plain setting. The walls are devoid of character and the fluorescent lighting does nothing for the ambience. Do not expect a dining experience here.
We were welcomed into what appeared to be a family run restaurant by their teenage son. The father was on a laptop in the dining area and mom and siblings behind the scenes. The boy, friendly and well spoken, seated us immediately and passed the menus around. The menu covers the standard Indo-Pakistani dishes and is augmented by a host of South Indian and Sri Lankan dishes.
Our order of vegetable samosas, chicken tikka, beef kebab, naan, chicken biryani, butter chicken, chicken curry, beef kothu and masala dosa was taken without much fuss. There was a bit of confusion with the ordering of the sweet, plain lassi and the mango lassi (always is, it seems – mango lassi seems to be the preferred selling choice).
The lassis arrived right away. Both the sweet and mango lassis were best described as healthy tasting; fresh and not too sweet. A short while later the samosas arrived. These triangular, deep fried pastries were hot and steaming. They appeared to be right off the fryer, though they were not greasy at all. Stuffed with peas, potatoes and an assortment of spices, they were a delight. A crispy bite combined the light sweetness of the peas with the spiciness of the potatoes, all of which was complimented by a tamarind sauce. In short mmmmm.
The second appetizer was the beef kabab. Spiced ground beef infused with coriander leaves and cooked in a clay oven, it is usually quite good most places. Here it was tender, melt in the mouth goodness, with a kick at the end. There were some accompanying chutneys which were not necessary and bland.
The chicken tikka arrived. This dish, also cooked in the tandoor (clay oven), had a nice charcoal flavour to it. The moist pieces were quite enjoyable.
The main courses started to arrive in succession. The naan was fresh and crispy and definitely a more than adequate accompaniment to the curry dishes.
The chicken biryani was very good. The individual flavours of the cinnamon, tamarind and cloves were quite strong and made for a very flavourful dish.
Of the two chicked curries, the butter chicken was decent, while the chicken curry was not. The butter chicken had a slight lemony tang to it and was very
creamy. The curry, unfortunately, was cold and overwhelming. The spice balance was all wrong.
The two Sri Lankan dishes we ordered were exceptional. The masala dosa was beautiful in presentation. A golden brown folded crepe, inside which the masala (spiced) potatoes were hidden. It is accompanied by a lentil curry dip which makes this a fun and flavourful dish to eat.
The kothu is traditionally a staple dish consisting of cut up roti, spices and, in this case, beef. It is pleasing to the eye and brought out with wedges of lime (lemon). Squeeze the fresh lime over it and enjoy the multitude of flavours emanating from the various ingredients. There are very few places in Calgary serving this dish and in the opinion of our resident SriLankan, "Definitely reminds me of home!". I liked it too!
Masala has a friendly atmosphere and good food. Lacking in ambience, it's draw is the promise of authentic cuisine. Try a dine-in visit, but at the very least do get some take out.
5 Responses to "Masala Restaurant "7/10″ – Calgary – (Closed!)"
This is closed now (permanently).
The food looks very nice.
All of the food looks fragant and good.
The food looks absolutely delicious but it doesn't look like they offer a lot. Could you possible give price range and how much each plate costs?

A map of all the American schools that are officially teaching creationism with the full permission of the state educational system, either through voucher programs or state laws that allow nonsense to be taught. Thanks to PZ Myers
Views: 193
I was about to post something on this but you beat me to it.
"A large, publicly funded charter school system in Texas is teaching creationism to its students, Zack Kopplin recently reported in Slate. Creationist teachers don't even need to be sneaky about it—the Texas state science education standards, as well as recent laws in Louisiana and Tennessee, permit public school teachers to teach "alternatives" to evolution. Meanwhile, in Florida, Indiana, Ohio, Arizona, Washington, D.C., and elsewhere, taxpayer money is funding creationist private schools through state tuition voucher or scholarship programs. As the map below illustrates, creationism in schools isn't restricted to schoolhouses in remote villages where the separation of church and state is considered less sacred. If you live in any of these states, there's a good chance your tax money is helping to convince some hapless students that evolution (the basis of all modern biological science, supported by everything we know about geology, genetics, paleontology, and other fields) is some sort of highly contested scientific hypothesis as credible as "God did it."
Euphemism is all the rage these days in Christian circles. Put a law on the books mandating intelligent design be taught alongside evolutionary biology? No, sir. Can't do that, because 'intelligent design' is a euphemism for 'religious creationism' and teaching that is against the Constitution. So let's pass a slippery little law letting teachers teach students 'alternatives to evolution'. See? We didn't say creationism or intelligent design, we said alternatives, because for gosh sakes there are just so many alternatives to science!
So the religious crackpots running state governments in places like Tennessee and Louisiana have enabled their fellow crackpots in local government to circumvent the Constitution and teach creationism, until or unless a lawsuit is filed one school system at a time.
This why I want to move out of Florida...
