"House of Cards"
When: Now available
Where: Netflix
everybody wants to get into the content game by offering TV-style entertainment. Even Amazon recently announced it will adapt the film "Zombieland" into a serial you will be able to stream on Amazon Prime.
With its first foray into original production, Netflix hits the bull's-eye resoundingly. "House of Cards" is a fascinating, first-class political thriller starring Kevin Spacey and Robin Wright. All 13 episodes of the first season are now available for streaming to service subscribers.
You do not want to miss this one.
If public approval of Congress is negligible now, wait until people get a load of Spacey's Francis Underwood. He's the longtime House minority whip, sardonically giving his job description as "to clear the pipes and keep the sludge moving."
When Underwood is denied a promised cabinet spot by the incoming president, he deviously and deftly begins settling old scores. He is encouraged in his vicious Machiavellian campaign by his wife (Wright), the Lady Macbeth of Georgetown, and by his ruthless aide de hatchet (Michael Kelly).
"House of Cards" is a challenging, fast-moving, grown-up drama. The first two episodes are directed with markedly bracing assurance by David Fincher ("The Social Network"). Even the score by Jeff Beal is outstanding. And the series' use of D.C. as a backdrop is unparalleled.

Transition to BIM at your own pace with Revit LT software, while continuing existing project work with AutoCAD LT software. AutoCAD® Revit LT™ Suite provides the 3D BIM tools of Revit LT, plus the familiar drafting tools of AutoCAD LT. Make your move to BIM easier with a simplified user interface and integrated learning resources.
AutoCAD Revit LT Suite delivers the BIM modeling tools of Revit LT plus the 2D drafting software of AutoCAD LT in a single, cost-effective package. No need to choose between architectural BIM and professional drafting: Both Revit LT and AutoCAD LT are included in the suite.
Improve your workflow by concurrently designing and documenting building projects using BIM. A single, coordinated database stores all design information, enabling you to generate every schedule, drawing sheet, and 2D and 3D view directly from the model. Revisions to your design are automatically updated throughout every view and all supporting documentation, minimizing errors and omissions.
Generate 3D orthographic or perspective views from any angle of the model-based environment to visualize the space throughout the design process. Create exploded axons and 3D details more quickly and easily. Use the walk-through tool to create animations based on a camera moving along a path. This helps you visualize the building virtually, improve your understanding of the building and its spaces, and communicate design ideas to clients more effectively.
Create photorealistic 3D architectural renderings in the cloud. Select from an extensive library of predefined photorealistic materials and apply them to building elements to help display their appearance. Define sun settings and add artificial lighting with a photometric light source that uses real-world data.
Improve documentation with a coordinated model that automatically manages revisions to your building model throughout the design process. Construction documents derived from the model are higher quality, helping reduce the costs of changes and manual coordination. You can invest more time in designing, knowing that your documentation is coordinated and up to date.
Automatically create building component schedules to drive data and improve the visibility of costs and quantities. Since schedules are generated directly from the model, they are up to date and provide a comprehensive view of the Revit LT model. Changes to a schedule view are automatically reflected in all other model views, such as plans, sections, and elevations.
Swap files easily among project team members using other Revit software applications. Because Revit LT software is fully compatible with Revit, Revit Architecture, Revit MEP, and Revit Structure software, you can exchange files with any firm or contributor on the Revit platform.

Potential for Biodiesel Production from Waste Cooking Oil in Kenya
Globally, use of biodiesel as an alternative to petro-diesel has seen increased interest due to environmental benefits associated with its combustion. The high cost of vegetable oils, which could be up to 75% of the total biodiesel manufacturing cost, has led to the production costs of biodiesel becoming approximately 1.5 times higher than that for diesel. Use of waste cooking oil (WCO) and waste vegetable fats (WVF) could greatly reduce the biodiesel cost as these are considerably cheaper... Read more

Kobe's is primarily a sizzler joint offering a very wide variety of veg and non-veg sizzlers. The food is great to taste and well cooked. The service is prompt and the recommendation of the staff is good too.
Limited options for Sizlers....considering thats what the place is called...still the quality is not maintained. The service is absolutely blew average. Nothing much to write about.
Kobe offers one of the best sizzlers in town. The menu offers a wide variety and a lot of choice. Pair it with a soup and have a great time.
Overall, a great place for the sizzler lovers.
This is a great place for Sizzlers. Being a vegetarian it is hard to find a decent place for good veg sizzlers. I really like their cottage cheese with mushroom cheese slice sizzler and my wife really likes the chicken shashlik. Being a regular, I am very well taken care off by the restaurant staff.
I recommend this place for...
Really love this place....they know their sizzlers and are great alternative to the usual food served at other resturants...the portions are generous and on their own are quite a meal....dont try and experiment too much...stick with known flavours and you will not be disappointed....there are deals at times and they are really good value for money so look out for...
31st October: My wife and me had wanted to have some real good sizzlers since long and visited Kobe's on some good reviews.
Food: We had Veg Broth soup and BBQ Chicken wings and topped it with Chicken Satellite sizzlers. By the time we finished our food all we could manage was WOW! The chicken was so well beaten and...
heylo all, we went at this place few mnths back but we disliked the sizzlers over there,, but best part ws their snacks n hospitatlity
Food at Kobe's is always great, big portions and well cooked. Have tried multiple sauces though my favorite is pepper sauce.
However could make the service more people oriented. Staff seems indifferent and disconnected despite at least a dozen visits in the year so far.
There is a Japanese saying about Kobe, the fifth largest Japanese city, famed for its cosmopolitan spirit; "If you can't go to Paris, go to Kobe"
First time I went to Kobes outlet in Mumbai near Chowpatty about 30 year ago and have frequented the restaurant many time, after moving to Gurgaon, I visited many Sizzler restaurants in and around...
If you are a sizzler lover then you must eat here ! There are many options to choose from and the food is delicious . The location is central but vicinity is noisy . Overall a good experience.

Comments about this product:
This film very sensitively explores the life of others who have become basically catatonic due to a virus but are provided an opportunity to really embrace life and deeply appreciate it due to a determined and caring doctor. Both Robert De Niro and Robin Williams should have received Oscars. Certainly makes any able-bodied person be grateful for her/his abilities that are taken for granted.

Publisher's Description
Nearly every Christian parent in America would give anything to find a viable resource for developing within their kids a deep, dynamic faith that "sticks" long term. Sticky Faith delivers. Research shows that almost half of graduating high school seniors struggle deeply with their faith. Recognizing the ramifications of that statistic, the Fuller Youth Institute (FYI) conducted the College Transition Project in an effort to identify the relationships and best practices that can set young people on a trajectory of lifelong faith and service. Based on FYI findings, this easy-to-read guide presents both a compelling rationale and a powerful strategy to show parents how to actively encourage their childrens spiritual growth so that it will stick to them into adulthood and empower them to develop a living, lasting faith. Written by authors known for the integrity of their research and the intensity of their passion for young people, Sticky Faith is geared to spark a movement that empowers adults to develop robust and long-term faith in kids of all ages.

Pope draws 3M in Rio, one of largest papal MassesThe Associated Press | July 29,2013RIO DE JANEIRO An estimated 3 million people poured onto Rios Copacabana beach on Sunday for the final Mass of Pope Francis historic trip to his home continent, cheering the first Latin American pope in one of the biggest turnouts for a papal Mass in recent history.
Speaking from a white stage and looking out over the enormous crowd, Francis urged young Catholics to go out and spread their faith to the fringes of society, even to those who seem farthest away, most indifferent.
The church needs you, your enthusiasm, your creativity and the joy that is so characteristic of you! he said to applause in his final homily of World Youth Day.
The popes trip, which ended when he took off for Rome Sunday night, was hailed as a great success by clergy, pilgrims and everyday Brazilians alike.
The popes nonstop agenda was followed live on television for all seven days. His good nature and modesty clearly charmed the nation that has more Catholics than any other.MORE IN Wire News

Draining a Breast AbscessSkip to the navigation
Topic Overview
Mastitis that develops into an infected pocket of fluid, or breast abscess, usually needs to be drained.
- A small abscess can be drained with a needle, sometimes using ultrasound to guide the needle. First, a local anesthetic medicine is injected to numb the skin over the infected breast tissue. This procedure can be done in a doctor's office.
- A large abscess must be cut open (lanced) to let the pus drain out. Usually a local anesthetic medicine is injected to numb the breast tissue first. General anesthesia is usually not needed for this treatment unless the abscess is deep. After the infected area has been drained, it may be left open and packed with sterile gauze or closed with a small tube left in so the pus can drain out. This procedure may be done in a doctor's office or an outpatient surgery setting.

Solar power: New Resource leads on financing
December 22, 2011
New Resource Bank's exceptional expertise in commercial solar lending is helping communities and businesses across the country boost their use of renewable energy: the bank provides financing for solar installations of up to 3 megawatts, primarily in California.
"We're in a unique position to offer this lending product," says Matt Scullin, vice president and solar specialist. "We have people in-house who have an in-depth understanding of the solar industry, and we know the ins and outs of solar financing."
New Resource: a solar financing pioneer
The bank established itself in the commercial solar market shortly after opening its doors in late 2006. In January 2007, the California Public Utilities Commission launched the California Solar Initiative, a rebate program for homeowners and businesses. Once those incentives kicked in, solar commercial lending opportunities opened up, and New Resource saw a natural fit with its sustainability mission.
Those years of experience mean New Resource can quickly assess the risks and the opportunities presented by a particular deal, and can move forward quickly if it's viable, Scullin says, adding, "We understand what can and can't be done."
Among the challenges of solar financing are projects based on power purchase agreements (PPAs), which are long-term agreements between a solar energy provider and a client such as a business owner or municipality, and the fact that most loans are non-recourse, meaning the lender has a lien on the assets of the solar project only—there is no secondary source of collateral or repayment.
"Compared to other banks, we are more comfortable with the non-recourse element," says Scullin. "To address this risk, we work with insurance companies who will help us cover ourselves for those solar projects that underperform."
In addition to their experience with the complexities of PPAs, New Resource bankers also have a deep knowledge of tax equity investing requirements and a track record of working with government subsidies.
Customers illustrate the impact
A few examples of the bank's solar expertise at work: Tioga Energy, a provider of renewable energy services to commercial, government and nonprofit institutions, turned to New Resource for a customized line of credit that enables Tioga to develop solar installations nationwide. The company now has about 100 projects in operation or under development. (See the story.)
International solar power developer Enfinity is relying on New Resource to finance its expansion in California and elsewhere in North America. (See the press release.)
Through its partnership with Adam Capital Clean Energy Asset Finance, a solar energy finance firm, New Resource is providing much-needed capital to an underserved market sector: small-scale solar developers, including home owners, small businesses, nonprofits, schools and low-income housing developments. (See the press release.)
Clients like these, says Scullin, appreciate New Resource's expertise with commercial solar financing, and other clients appreciate knowing that their deposits are helping to increase renewable energy use. "Our customers are glad to know that their deposits are funneled into these projects," says Scullin.

2000 Dodge Dakota • 275,000 miles
I was wondering how much it would cost to repair if I went to a body shop the guy I went in to see said it would be around 600 at a body shop but only around 100 at home plus around 3 hours of labor

You can rebuild the differential for that much. If it is only leaking from the cover, you need new gear lube and a gasket which totals around 20 dollars. Add about.5 hours labor. If it is leaking from the yoke, you need to replace a seal and crush sleeve. Parts are around 25 dollars and figure.5 hours labor.

Ke$ha Kardashian? Pop singer heads to reality land
NEW YORK (AP) — Ke$ha Kardashian? Not quite.
The wild and playful pop star is a huge fan of the swarm of Kardashian reality shows, but says her new series is far from what you see on the small screen from Kim, Kourtney and Khloe.
"I have a love for the Kardashians, I'm not going to lie to you," the 26-year-old said in a recent interview. "I love that show, but it's very different. I do not look as pretty as they do — like at all. During my show, there's a lot of moments with no makeup at all, like I'm in a T-shirt running around in my underwear."
Six 30-minute episodes make up "Ke$ha: My Crazy Beautiful Life," which debuted Tuesday on MTV. Her brother, Lagan Sebert, filmed the singer over two years while she toured and recorded music. The show includes silly moments backstage, clips of Ke$ha making out with boys, as well as interactions with her fans, friends and mother Pebe Sebert, who co-wrote songs on each of Ke$ha's albums.
In one episode, Ke$ha stalks her ex-boyfriend, who was the subject of her 2010 tune "The Harold Song."
"I bumped into him recently and I was kind of like, 'Sorry about that,'" she said.
Ke$ha, who has a party-girl vibe, said some members of her team worried about what she would air on the show.
"I'm pretty game for most things, honestly," she said of what viewers will see. "There are issues that my record label has and my publicist, they don't want me to do lots of things, but ... I feel like the message has to be genuine for me. That's why I am showing all the imperfections."
Ke$ha's reality show comes five months after she released her second full-length album, "Warrior," which features the smash single "Die Young." The series could help push sales since the album has only moved 252,000 units, according to Nielsen SoundScan. It's not matching the immediate success of her 2009 debut, "Animal," which has sold more than 1 million albums and launched four Top 10 singles, including her breakthrough anthem "TiK ToK." ''Cannibal," the EP she released 10 months after her debut, has reached gold status.
Despite that, Ke$ha said that since releasing her debut she's been calling the shots when it comes to her career.
"Now I really run my (business). I don't let anything slip through the cracks without me managing it, every aspect of it," said Ke$ha, who will join rapper Pitbull on a co-headlining tour May 23 in Boston.
"Because the media can be very critical and if they're going to criticize something that I do, I want it to be very much something I was involved in."

- Takeover: Republicans take control of U.S. Senate
- Proposition 1: Majority approves state amendment to help improve roads
• Age: 35
• Occupation: Vice President of Operations-JAR Insurance
• Education: Bachelor of Business Administration-University of Notre Dame
• Family: Single
• Political experience: Elected on November 4th, 2008; first female to represent District 77 in the Texas Legislature.
• Infrastructure: What would you say are Texas' most pressing infrastructure needs? How would you address them? How would you pay for it? If you say by cutting waste, be specific.
Texas is growing both in population and economically, and our infrastructure must match those changes if we are to remain competitive. Congestion on our highways and accessibility to roads are essential to our continued growth, and for that reason it is important that we continue to make infrastructure a priority in our state.
• School cheating: Q: Do you believe the state has adequately addressed the school-cheating scandals unearthed in El Paso County and elsewhere? If not, what more should be done?
A: I have been very active in efforts to reform El Paso's public schools and filed several bills to address the cheating scandals. I have also been vocal with federal and state agencies in asking for action to address loopholes in our public education system across multiple levels. However, these efforts are not enough. Our entire system needs reform, and the positive changes taking place in El Paso are a preview of statewide change. The current focus on standardized testing scores is not working. We need reform as a whole and refocus on educating our children.
• El Paso economy: Q: If you could only file one bill to improve the El Paso economy, what would it be?
A: Without a doubt we need to look at all avenues we can take to re-open Speaking Rock (a tribal casino.) It would have an immediate and sustainable impact on the El Paso economy and would drive economic growth across the board.
• Border security: Q: Many in Austin and D.C. talk about devoting more resources to securing the border. Do you think these concerns are well placed? How would you focus government efforts on the border?
A: Border security and safety are important to secure across all our borders. Mexico is our major trading partner, and instead of criminalizing and creating a negative picture of our border, we should look for ways to collaborate in securing safe and efficient border crossings. El Paso can lead the way and serve as an incubator for new technologies and innovations that expedite global commerce rather than allow others to define us.
• Education funding: Q: Last session, the Legislature restored $3.3 billion of $5.4 billion that was cut from public education funding in 2011. Was that enough? If not, say how much more you would spend and where the money would come. If you say by cutting waste, be specific.
A: As a member of the Appropriations Committee, I am proud of the work that we did for public education. While we restored $3.3 billion, we still need to restore all of the cuts from 2011 and invest additional funds to cover pay increases for teachers and benefits, educational programs, and expenses for educational tools and resources. These funds can be diverted from savings in the criminal justice system, our fourth largest expenditure, by focusing on rehabilitation and not incarcerating non-violent low-level offenders. Any savings should be used in educating our children.

Favorite thing: For information in and around Ísafjörður, and the Western Fjords as well, visit the tourist office called Vesturferðir. You can book certain trips from there, like sea kayaking, ferries, and more. The phone number is It's a great resource for people visitng Ísafjörður.
Here's the information on the tourist center.
It is located at Aðalstræti 7 · IS-400 Ísafjörður.
Tel.: +354-456-5121 · Fax: +354-456-5185
E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
Fondest memory: My fondest memory of Ísafjörður had to be the dinner we had at the Hotel Ísafjörður. On the one hand we were sad our friends didn't join us for the meal, but on the other hand, the foold was excellent, the restaurant windows had a spectacular view, and we got to meet a retired couple who were Icelanders. He was a former surgeon and former professor at a medical school in Boston and she was a former flight attendant for Icelandair. We had a great conversation about travel and just about everything else.
That should in no way diminish how beautifu the surrounding landscape was around Ísafjörður!
- Family Travel
- Hiking and Walking
- Romantic Travel and Honeymoons
Favorite thing: That has been a problem , I d ónt know WHY .

Fondest memory: The SHOPPINGCENTRE IS ON THE RIGHT WITH THE RIGHT SIGN . Sorry I d ´ont know the name actually !

schielen's General Tip
Fondest memory: The first morning of my trip to Iceland I woke up in my little tent. Although it was only 6.45 AM, the sun was already high in the sky, just a little bit blocked by a morning mist, a sea-fog. Slowly the memories of the night before came back to me. Slowly because of the drink(s) we had. The most popular on Iceland is 'Black death' (you might imagine why!), whitch is made of potato-peelings! This was one of the few drinks (alcoholic ones that is) in the three weeks I spent in Iceland. There are two reasons for that. One is the price. A normal beer in a normal pub will cost you US$ 25! The second one is that you will find no pub (nor any other shop) in the greater part of the country.

Dr. Mehmet Oz discussed natural energy boosters and said a high-fiber diet can aid weight loss on the Aug. 15 episode of the Dr. Oz Show.
One surprising way to increase your energy level is to substitute butter for sugar in your coffee. Dr. Oz said the butter in your coffee helps the caffeine last longer in your body. You can also use ghee (which is clarified butter), coconut oil, or MCT oil in your coffee. The healthy fats will also keep your blood sugar stable so you won't feel hungry, said Oz.
While the idea of putting butter in your coffee may sound strange, the concept is catching on, especially among followers of the low-carb high-fat Paleo and ketogenic diets.
Tibetans have put butter in their morning drinks for generations. They call it po cha, or Tibetan yak butter tea. Ideally, the butter should be grass-fed and unsalted. The fat from the butter will give you a boost of energy during your morning and suppress appetite, which makes it good for weight loss.
Another natural energy booster is rhodiola supplement, said Dr. Oz. Also known as golden root, rhodiola has been shown to increase energy and stamina and reduce depression and stress.
Finally, a good way to increase energy is to consume more foods that contain beta glucans, which help the body fight disease by boosting your white blood cells. Good sources of beta glucans include oatmeal, dates and shitake mushrooms.
On a separate segment, Dr. Oz said it's important to get enough fiber during the day (ideally, about 30 grams) because a high-fiber diet aids weight loss and lowers cholesterol, but too much can be a bad thing. Ironically, getting too much fiber in one shot can actually cause constipation, so Oz suggested spreading fiber intake throughout the day.
He also suggested getting your fiber from natural sources such as vegetables and fruits and not from pre-packaged foods, which can elevate your blood sugar.

Avocado and Jicama Salad
Buy green, pebbly-skinned Hass avocados and let them ripen at home in a brown bag for two or three days. When the skin turns black, they are ready to use. Jicama is a crisp, sweet-tasting tuber.
- Servings: 4
Source: Martha Stewart Living, June/July 1992
- 1 small jicama
- 2 ripe avocados
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1/2 small red onion, minced
Peel jicama by cutting a thin slice off the top and bottom and paring sides with a small knife. Cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices, then cut slices into thin strips. Set aside.
Cut avocados in half lengthwise. Insert the blade of a heavy knife in pit, twist to remove, and discard. Peel avocado halves. Squeeze lemon juice over avocados to prevent browning; set aside.
Whisk together vinegar, oil, and salt and pepper to taste.
Make a bed of jicama on four plates, and top each with an avocado half. Season lightly with salt and pepper, sprinkle with onion, and pour dressing into avocado cavities. The salad will "dress" itself when you cut into avocados.

Mobile Foodshare
Mobile Foodshare first began in 2001 when we recognized a need to efficiently distribute increasingly large amounts of donated produce. The rapid delivery program uses converted beverage trucks to bring perishable food items such as highly nutritious fruits and vegetables, meats, and bread to people in low income neighborhoods who need it most. Sites are hosted by a Foodshare partner and operated with help from a dedicated corps of volunteers.
We received an overwhelmingly positive response from site coordinators and the community members being served. The program grew quickly, expanding from one truck to two in 5 short years – one of the trucks even has refrigerated compartments allowing us to provide dietary staples like meat, yogurts, and other dairy items.
Last year, Foodshare distributed more than 4 million pounds of perishable food, primarily produce, through 1,367 distributions hosted by 62 Mobile Foodshare sites operating on an every-other-week rotation. Overall attendance increased by nearly 18%, with an average of 130 attendees each receiving 21 pounds of assistance per distribution. The high-water mark was reached on Friday, August 24, 2012 when 1,333 attendees were served at six Mobile Foodshare sites visited by our two vehicles – at St. Augustine alone, 428 individuals received assistance!
The Mobile Foodshare program provides easy access to fresh fruits and vegetables for both individuals and families in need. While "need" is generally defined as having a gross annual income at or below 235% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL), registration is not required for the majority of sites. The occasional exception includes sites that are located in census tracts indicating the majority of residents do not meet this definition of "need." In these instances, the host organization conducts an annual "Snapshot Screening" to determine eligibility.

lawsuit-circumventing Galaxy Tab 10.1N, but the manufacturer apparently feels pretty confident about its chances. Today, Samsung announced a new, Germany-specific version of its Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus, with the launch of the Galaxy Tab 7.0N. Slated to hit the market later this month, this seven-inch slate features many of the same specs you'll find on its Honeycomb-coated predecessor, save for a front-facing speaker upgrade and, of course, a redesigned form factor. For now, it's only slated to launch in Germany, where it'll retail for about €600 (about $770).

Mr. Ramsey: Listen carefully! We are a group of individuals that represent a small foreign faction. We respect your business but not the country that it serves. At this time we have your daughter in our possession. She is safe and unharmed, and if you want her to see 1997, you must follow our instructions to the letter.
You will withdraw $118,000 from your account. $100,000 will be in $100 bills and the remaining $18,000 in $20 bills. Make sure that you bring an adequate size attache to the bank. When you get home you will put the money in a brown paper bag. I will call you between 8 and 10 a.m. tomorrow to instruct you on delivery.
The delivery will be exhausting so I advise you to be rested. If we monitor you getting the money early, we might call you early to arrange an earlier delivery of the money and hence an earlier pickup of your daughter.
Any deviation of my instructions will result in the immediate execution of your daughter. You will also be denied her remains for proper burial. The two gentlemen watching over your daughter do not particularly like you so I advise you not to provoke them.
Speaking to anyone about your situation such as police or F.B.I. will result in your daughter being beheaded.
You can try to deceive us, but be warned we are familiar with law enforcement counter-measures and tactics. You stand a 99 percent chance of killing your daughter if you try to outsmart us. Follow our instructions and you stand a 100 percent chance of getting her back.
You and your family are under constant scrutiny, as well as the authorities. Don't try to grow a brain, John. You are not the only fat cat around so don't think that killing will be difficult.
Don't underestimate us, John. Use that good, southern common sense of yours. It's up to you now, John! Victory.
