Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are used for the management of various conditions, such as pain, fever, inflammation, cancer, or cardiovascular diseases. These drugs may induce injury throughout the gastrointestinal tract. NSAIDs are associated with diverse upper gastrointestinal adverse effects, including dyspepsia, erosions, peptic ulcer diseases and complications such as bleeding perforation. Established risk factors for these adverse effects include age, prior ulcer, types, doses and duration of NSAIDs, concurrent other NSAIDs administration, and the concomitant uses of corticosteroids or anticoagulants. Misoprostol, proton pump inhibitors, and cyclooxygenase-2 selective inhibitors have been used to reduce the risk of NSAID-associated upper gastrointestinal events. NSAID-induced enteropathy is more common than complications of the stomach and duodenum and is usually manifested by occult blood loss or hypoalbuminemia. Furthermore, NSAIDs induce small intestinal injuries causing gut barrier damage, and bacterial translocation that have been proposed to be associated with the burden of illness in decompensated chronic heart failure. However, the risk factors for NSAID-induced enteropathy and bacterial translocation, as well as its preventive measures, are not well documented.

Ditka Wednesday said he's taking a pass on the race, leaving Illinois Republicans to continue their search for a candidate to replace Jack Ryan.
In Washington Thursday, Fitzgerald told The Associated Press that Ditka would have made a great candidate. He says he thinks Ditka could have won because people "would have loved his authenticity and his commonsense approach."
But Fitzgerald also says he understands that it would have been a big sacrifice for Ditka to make because he'd have to give up his career in business and sports broadcasting.

Cloth Diaper Do-Over
Hey Amy,
First off, we love your blog! My wife and I will be welcoming our first baby into the world this July and we have been researching cloth diapers for her. My MIL who is eminently crafty offered to make us cloth diapers, but as yet we have not seen any completed (though she has knitted some cute covers). I'm trying to prep for buying some diapers and I think we'd like to try GMD fitteds and/or prefolds. Did you find the workhorse fitteds to be worth the extra cost over the prefolds? I noticed you recommended the Thirsties Duo PUL covers. The Bumgenius Flip covers also look nice. Do you have any experience with them? I wish Rebel Baby Co would start making some as their fitteds look freaking adorable. Since your last posts on cloth diapering have you had any new products/tips you could give me?
Thanks so much for your help and time!
Cue up your best Kermit the Frog voice for MOAR CLOTH DIAPER TALK YAAAAYYYY!
So, first of all: Green Mountain Diapers, the site many of you may have stumbled upon in your cloth diaper research, usually in the form of someone mentioning "GMD prefolds." And talking about how WORTH IT they are, and how much better they are than other prefolds, and blah blah blah.
Well, I'm certainly not going to reinvent the wheel today either: GMD prefolds are the best best bestest prefolds out there. Do not bother buying anything else. Step away from the Amazon Prime membership and the inferior options sold elsewhere and get the GMDs.
And I have similar levels of hysterical love for the GMD Workhorse Fitteds. They're fantastic, especially if you compare the price to other, fancier fitted diapers, ESPECIALLY in the newborn size. Five dollars! Five!! They aren't quite as snazzy/fancy as a lot of the options out there, but…I dunno. I think they're plenty adorable. I love basic, old-school white diapers!
I did not necessarily do everything "right" while trying to cloth diaper Ike as a newborn, and so the most frequently-asked question I get these days is usually a variation on: If you had to do it over again, what would you buy?
Well, I'd have bought some newborn fitteds, right from the start. Probably the Workhorses. And preemie-sized covers. No, you won't use them for very long, but 99.9999% of my frustrations in the beginning had to do with poorly-fitting diapers and covers. Ike was 7 pounds, 9 ounces and everything I had for him was comically oversized. I had some preemie prefolds — but they weren't GMD, and sucked — but if the cover is too big you'll get leaks out the leg holes, no matter what you do with the diaper or how you fold/Snappi/pin. The whole "one-size" thing is a TOTAL LIE, and I don't care how adjustable the rise and/or leg holes are. They aren't going to fit properly until at least 10 pounds, maybe 12, and will drive you insane in the meantime. Buy diapers that FIT, and save the one-size versions for later. Trust me, you'll still get your money's worth out of them, even if you wait a couple months.
(On the other hand, if I'd been cloth diapering the 9 pound, 15 ounce Noah as a newborn, I probably would have declared myself a genius for skipping the tiny-sized diapers and covers. So. GAH WHO KNOWS.)
Jason loves prefolds — he doesn't usually bother with fastening them, but just lays them in a cover and velcros it up. But I love the extra protection from leaks and blow-outs that fitteds give you, with the waist and leg elastic. I also find them to be easier to double and triple stuff, especially if you plan to Snappi or pin and are dealing with a wriggly, squirmy baby. Like you, I very much wanted to replace my outgrown Rebel Baby Co. fitteds with bigger ones — by that point Ike was ready for one-sized diapers — but alas, life happens and Leanne is unable to take on many orders. So I went looking for the most economical replacement, and tried a few different styles and Etsy sellers (with not much success, alas) and got completely overwhelmed by Hyena Cart…and then placed an order at GMD for some medium prefolds and tossed a couple medium Workhorse diapers in, just for the hell of it.
My stash these days is now almost exclusively GMD products: Two dozen medium prefolds, six medium Workhorses, six large Workhorses (Ike's 20 pounds so we're gradually sizing up, spreading the cost out as much as possible), and about a half dozen Workhorse doublers. I'll also double up with our small/infant prefolds, or OCCASIONALLY stuff them into our much-maligned, leaking pocket diapers. Although the Rebel Baby Co. fitteds are too small, I still use the snap-in doublers from them. They're very long and a thin combo of bamboo velour and hemp, and I add them to the GMD offerings for nighttime or long car rides, outings, etc.
I went doubler-crazy for awhile when Ike was soaking through EVERYTHING at night, so I have a ton of hemp/bamboo/velour/whatever doubler options. Then the heavy wetter stage passed and Ike now longer requires so much fabric at night. Which I didn't know was something that…you know, happened. Oh well. I have enough doublers and extra inserts to cobble together extra whole diapers, if I had to.
We still use all Thirsties Duo Wraps (though I agree — the bumGenius Flip covers look awesome as well), and some wool covers. Bummis fleece and flushable liners. Snappis, cloth-diaper-safe ointment (GroVia Magic Stick, Grandma El's, Earth Mama Angel Baby, etc.). Charlie's Soap, plus a little OxyClean every once in awhile to fight staining.
And that's about everything in the exciting, thrilling world of cloth diapering. Except for the part about how oh! Our utility sink is hopelessly clogged and the washing machine drains to the utility sink so GUESS WHO CAN'T WASH ANY DIAPERS until the plumber comes out later today? Blech.

You will never, ever get consensus on a cloth diapering issue. Never. So me agreeing with Amy is probably as close as you're going to get! I've cloth diapered two kids and 1 newborn (my second). I tried to go at the newborn thing a totally different way than Amy did — I wanted all pockets and All-in-Ones. It was a total fail — nothing fit and everthing leaked. So I ended up in the same place Amy did — fitteds rock, especially for the newborn stage. (Now that my baby is 8 months, I do use all pockets, and I have since he was about 10ish lbs. Right around when he started fitting into the one size stuff). Fitteds are absolutely the best way to go in terms of fit and leak-protection. There are 85 bajillion brands — from commercial brands to mom-made ones that you can find on Etsy and Hyenacart. Some are so insanely cute you might die. But for $5 each, I'd agree that plain white is cute enough!
As a stay at home dad (part time writer and blogger) I spend a good portion of my day changing cloth diapers. The prefolds work decently but I personally am a fan of the all in ones. Bumgenius, Fuzzibunz and Kawaii. I love the Kawaiis, very breathable, hold in more liquid than their much more expensive counterparts and are unbelievably soft.
Have to say cloth is a great way to go. It's no burden, better for the environment and your baby's bottom. The ability to adjust is necesary and annoying at times but its nice to have a perfectly fitting diaper that makes your baby comfortable. Just don't make the desitin mistake otherwise you'll be dealing with lake water smelling diapers.

I was so disappointed that my son is allergic to that GroVia Magic stick! I was excited about he mess free application, and then the hives. Oh the hives!
Oh well. At least the Earth Mama Angel Baby helped clear it back up.
Hey Amy! Thanks so much for responding to my email. I am so happy that you found the GMD Workhorse fitteds to work great. We will definitely be investing in some GMD stuff soon along with a few PUL covers (maybe the bumgenius Flips). We had a heart to heart this weekend with my MIL regarding diapers and she said she will be making some fitteds among other types for us as well. But it never hurts to have a diverse arsenal! Hope the plumber gets there soon for you!
Ang Apr 16 at 5:10 pm Reply
As first-timers, we decided to use disposables until the umbilical stump fell off and our one-size covers fit (about 1 month old). We've only ever used prefolds so I cannot attest to fitteds, pockets, etc., but the prefolds we use are OsoCozy brand (4x8x4). We have both Rumparooz one-size covers and Flip one-size covers. I go back and forth on which one I prefer, but both work pretty well. Congrats on your little one!
Karen Apr 16 at 6:12 pm Reply
Just want to go on record as the only person in the world who prefers Thirsties sized covers to the Duos. I used sized ones with my first, loved them, and sold them. Then got Duos for my son and hated them. He was 8 lbs and I pretty much used them with all the snaps open from the start which sort of defeats the purpose of him growing into them. If I snapped them down to the middle fit, then the snaps would open up as I pulled the Duo up to make sure it covered the snappied prefold. I asked the people at Thirsties about this and they said that the sized "covers" are designed for prefolds while the Duos are meant for fitteds, they have a trimmer fit and that is why they are called "wraps." Now I have him in medium covers and am much happier.
JCF Apr 16 at 6:25 pm Reply
I just wanted to chime in and say that I've used a lot of PUL covers over the course of cloth diapering three children, but Flips are my favorites once we pass the newborn stage (during which I have an undying devotion to Thirsties X-Smalls). I use Flips over Snappiable fitteds mostly, but I also have a large stash of Little Lions flats that I pad fold and lay in (pretty much the same as using a tri-folded prefold). Between the flats and Flip covers, it is a really cheap and effective CD strategy, though I do love my fitteds too!
maya Apr 16 at 9:23 pm Reply
i cloth diapered my baby from about a week old. i tried everything, pockets, fitteds, aios, prefolds, flats. hands down am in love with my gmd workhorses. you cannot go wrong with natural fibers (in fact i replaced all microfiber from the pockets with gmd doublers). if you want to go the cutesy, high end route, orange diaper company makes newborn and one-size fitteds that work really well (bamboo and cotton). if your MIL wants to help and make fitteds, it would be easy and more economical to convert the GMD prefolds to fitteds. My favorite pul cover has actually been Econobum, and then I use wool at night. Stashes will never be identical, and it's easy to dislike something someone else loves. There is also a GMD Buy Sell Trade group on Facebook if you're not ready to invest in a full GMD stash.
Erin S Apr 16 at 9:53 pm Reply
Karen, you are not the only person who loves the Thirsties sized covers! I don't know how it's possible but the size small cover fit longer and better than the Duo size 1. And the size medium cover? Fuggidaboudit. My 1 year old might still fit into it had we not switched over to Flip covers.
Steve, the Flip covers are great, but they are WIDE. Like, wiiide wide. My son didn't fit well in them until he was 6+ months (a big 6 months, too, 18+ lbs). But they are great with either the organic Flip inserts or the GMD prefolds (yellow edge for the lowest rise, red edge for middle/highest rise). Even snapped down all the way, the yellow edged prefolds swim in those things, though, to give you a sense of how wide they are. I think Flips over fitteds would be a great solution for that smaller stage.
Jessica Apr 16 at 9:59 pm Reply
O know you are already getting way more information about brands people love so i will skip my recommendations.
HOWEVER I will say this. We love our gro via magic stick, but I think it contributed to some of the stinks in our BG pockets (way too lazy to use a liner, I know my fault). So with number two (Same diapers ) I use breast milk. Seriously nothing has worked better. As soon as her bum gets red, I squirt a little in my hand, pat it on her and let it dry for a minute or so. Next diaper – gonzo.

Cloth-diaperer of twins here….my first choice is a Flip cover with a Mother-Ease fitted. The Thirsties x-small were great for the newborn stage, but I like my Flips more than the Duos. I've tried a lot of different prefolds, and I agree with Amy–GMDs are the best. We also actually used flats that we folded until the "airplane" fold didn't fit anymore. Don't do that unless you really like spending your limited free time playing origami.

I live in St. Louis, where CottonBabies, the makers of BumGenius is headquartered, so most everyone around here uses BG diapers. I didn't even really consider any others, I just bought a bunch of BGs and Flips….and I have had wonderful success with them. Not to discourage you from the other brands, just to let you know Flip and BG are indeed great. :o)
The trick with prefolds, honestly, is not to buy the Gerber ones! (Unless you can get your hands on some antiques…) I've used Bummis, Imagines, CottonBabies, Econobums and some we swiped from the NICU (they use them for messes), and they've all worked just fine. As long as they're prepped properly, they will work great.

Canadian here, and a shoutout to APPLECHEEKS (applecheeks.com) which are AMAZING and worked great from the getgo (7lb 6oz baby to now 19lb-er 7mo) – super cute, super practical and no I don't work for them. (just my 2 cents)

Love my Bum Genius diapers! Have used them exclusively since my daughter was 3 weeks and about 8 lbs and still using them at 2 years and 26 lbs. Easy for dad/grandparents to use, no problems with leaks.
MomSmoo Apr 17 at 11:02 am Reply
I stared CDing my second at 4 months and was a pockets girl all the way. Towards the end I went to fitteds with longies, so I was SURE I didn't want prefolds for a newborn, even though everyone insisted. I, of course, we wrong. Imagine prefolds and thristies sized covers all the way! Easiest laundry in the world too. That is what my now 7m old is in on the weekends and evenings as well. Pockets are still a huge hit at daycare though.
Thanks everyone for your comments and advice! We just placed an order this morning for some GMD newborn pre-folds, fitteds, a few Thirsties x-small covers, and one BG Flip. We also picked up some doublers, terry/flanel wipes, and a GroVia stick! Hopefully she is able to fit into the newborn sizes for at least a little while. Is it weird that I am looking forward to when she is born in July so that I can start changing diapers? lol

We got some Litewraps as hand-me-downs and wow, do those things leak. Not so much through the legs, I could deal with that, but straight THROUGH the diaper. I realize that they are used and that makes a difference, but those are our last-choice, must-do-laundry diaper covers.
After reading Amalah's praises for the woolies, my MiL has knitted some and I am totally convinced. The woolies are my favorites for overnights because I think it's better for Baby's skin to not be encased in plastic all night. Thank you SO much for the woolies info! They're harder for me to peel off if it's a dirty diaper, so we mostly just use them at night and save the plasticky covers for day.

I like the flip covers, and have used BG pockets for over 2 years, first with my 2.5 yr. old (now out of dipes) and my 7 month old. BG all the way for my older son, no problems with leaks, not a super heavy wetter I guess. Did not cloth diaper him as a newborn though. He is petite and never soaked out of one insert in the BG until he was almost 2 years old, even overnight. Now, for my 7 month old super soaker girly, she has been soaking out of the BGs since like 3 months old. She is a bigger, chunkier baby, and requires 2 full size inserts to not leak. We got the GMD workhorse fitteds in size medium, which I liked, but she has already outgrown them, and they just did not have enough absorbency for her, even with a doubler. I think if she was not such a soaker and so big, they would have been great. I have moved on to sustainablebabyish snapless diapers, and organic bamboo fitteds, with wool covers or longies for overnight for her, and when I am home with her. At daycare she still wears the double stuffed BGs, for ease of use, and so they won't snag my wool haha. LOVE my wool and sbish bamboo diapers. So soft and squishy and cute. Keeps her dry overnight too. When she was a newborn I used GMD newborn prefolds and covers, some assorted microfiber fitteds, but didn't really find the prefold love. She has always been such a chunk, so I think it really had more to do with her body shape and size than the diapers themselves. I think for a more slender baby, they would have been fine. SO what I guess I am getting at is, if something isn't working for you, try something different. You can always resell diapers you don't like, especially on groups on facebook. Don't get discouraged, and good luck! Cloth diapers are so fun, cute, and addictive!

I'm in love with Flip covers. Surprised at the poster who said they didn't fit until their baby was 18+ pounds! I started with Flip covers at 4 months and my DD was about…oh…10 pounds? I don't remember but she's a 10th percentile weight baby (She's a year old and is 18 pounds now). But she DOES have a big butt!
Otherwise, I'm a pockets gal, so that's not going to help with newborn CDing probably. But a shoutout to Fuzzibunz sized diapers – I like them better than any other pocket I've tried (and much better than FB one sized despite the leg gusset advantage the one size has). I didn't CD as a newborn but I have some FB smalls ready for baby #2, although I don't anticipate them fitting right away because I make teeny babies. I'm only a part time CDer anyway, and we'll have family help out, so it'll be sposies during the first weeks for us to make it easier for everyone.
I would also like to share my love of Thirsties sized covers. My baby was 6lbs 12oz at birth, and xs fitteds and xs Thirsties covers (with velcro) were the only thing that fit him and didn't leak. That's totally what I'm doing all the time with the next one. I also love Applecheeks and those started fitting when he was about a month-ish old. I used Thirsties XS and Small covers and then moved onto Duos size 2 snapped all the way down for a tri-folded prefold, but on the second snap for a snappied prefold, and all the way unsnapped for a nighttime B4 fitted. Totally great! I have no love for Flip covers because they lack leg gussets and don't cover a snappied prefold as well – they only work for trifolds. I was glad I only got 2 of those.

Hi, Been using Bum Genius and Pop'n'gro nappies since birth and just had to buy some new nappies as the pop'n'gro were size ones and my boy is now 11 months.
I've just got a few 'Baba and Boo' nappies…. super cute fuzzy on the outside pocket nappies. Seriously easy to use and also birth to potty efforts so should do the next baby(s).
Also have just bought Itti Bitti Tutto – australian company and totally brilliant design – again birth to potty and these really do go down to tiny. Gorgeous colours and a choice of how to snap in the boosters depending on size, time of day, and sex. The boosters have colour coded snaps so even with the most sleep deprived, post birth baby brain, you'll still manage. They have some fancy ones too – I caved to the Wo Bott. It's got robots on and it's just too cute.
I love my cloth nappies. Bum genius nappies are still going strong and have done since the start.

If you're looking for fitteds, I really like Old School Cool on HyenaCart and she usually has stuff in stock and will do customs. I've heard good things about MamaMade too, but haven't had a chance to try them. But yes, for daytime, GMD prefolds are the awesomest

I love GMD Prefolds and Workhorse diapers as well! My 10 month old (24 lb) is in a brown edge Workhorse with an Econobum cover right now. For newborn fitteds, I am going to give a couple recommendations – Little Boppers on Hyenacart (http://hyenacart.com/stores/LittleBoppers/ ) makes a size called Big Newborn that has a snap-down for the umbilical cord, but it for bigger babies. It worked great on my 8 1/2 pound chunker who gained a pound a week. She stocks her store on Tuesdays so you have to be a bit of a stalker to snag one My other newborn size fitted recommendation is Goodmama. These are the cutest freaking newborn diapers I have ever seen and I took so many pictures of my baby in the two I had http://shop.thegoodmama.com/category_s/222.htm I also really liked Bumgenius Newborn All-in-ones for leaving the house, since they fit better in the carseat than a bulkier prefold/cover combo. I loved diapering my newborn too and I swear I get baby fever just looking at newborn diapers!

Our plan before our little boy arrived was to do disposables until he put on some weight. Then we'd look into cloth diapers. And I'm so glad we did. He arrived 4 weeks early, taking us by surprise, and there was no way I was going to deal with snaps/velcro/snappies/prefolds. The nursery wasn't even ready when he was born!
A few weeks ago, I did as much research as I could online, and was completely overwhelmed by the choices, and all of my friends and family had their own suggestions. Ultimately, every diaper and every choice will work for the baby and their parents/caretakers. If you decide to go with some sort of AIO or pocket diaper, buy a few brads that you like, one of each. We narrowed our chocies down to three – BumGenius, FuzziBuns, and Rumparooz. Rumparooz was ridiculously big on him. BumGunius took too long to dry (it was an AIO) even though it fit really well. We just bought 2 dozen FuzziBuns Elite pocket diapers. They have adjustable and replaceable elastics. So if we have another one, he/she can wear them too. We'll still buy dispsables for travel, but now that we'll be saving money on diapers, I can afford to buy the biodegradable ones.
I elected to not go with the prefolds and snappies for my own reasons, and that's ok. We've all found something that works. Ultimately, we all are doing cloth diapers for the health of our children and our environment, and that's what's most important!

User talk:Duncan.britton
- wait wait a second http://www.funtoo.org/Special:RecentChanges <--- can u make bigger changes, like adding content, and try avoid spamming this plz. i hate it when i screw up, and notice it immediately after a commit because of this. im just making sure you're aware that you're massively spamming logs. Threesixes (talk) 23:47, 22 September 2014 (UTC)
I am sorry if I have caused you any inconvenience. However, I am adding all Templates on the wiki to a Category:Template. Because of this, I have to add to each Template -- hence the spamming of the log. Is it okay with you if I finish up (I will then be done spamming, I promise.)?
Best, Duncan
Duncan, it is not really that helpful to add Templates to a Template category. They are all in their own namespace and it is easy to find them using this link: http://www.funtoo.org/index.php?title=Special%3AAllPages&from=&to=&namespace=10
I did not know about this namespaces tool. Should I remove all of the templates from that category that I created?
Yeah, probably. In MediaWiki, generally any "Foo:" (with colon) prefix means it's in a separate namespace. This means it's easy to find all pages in a namespace using the All Pages link.

Nikon lenses from A-Z: the ultimate photographer's guide
Nikon lenses from Fisheye to Joiner
Fisheye lenses
Normal wide-angle lenses are designed to prevent distortion and keep straight lines straight, but fisheye lenses go wider still, abandoning this distortion correction completely.
They produce strong circular distortion that's usually employed as a special effect, but if they're used with care, fisheyes can be really effective for everyday photography too.
This terrific portrait shot uses the wide angle of view to emphasis the shape of the guitar and capture the sitter's surroundings.
Ground-level shooting
It's really tempting to shoot everything from a standing position with the camera at head height, but you can introduce much more variety into your pictures by changing your shooting position. If you get right down to ground level, the world starts to look very different.
You can capture great natural history shots from an insect's perspective, for example, or you can use your viewpoint to exaggerate perspective effects.
Normally in architectural photography you'd try to correct 'converging verticals', but here the photographer has turned them into a feature.
Converging verticals happen when you tilt the camera upwards to take the picture, and by shooting from ground level you tilt the camera further still.
A bean bag or a mini tripod is the ideal support, especially if the ground is uneven.
SEE MORE: DO or Di? Your lens markings explained
Hyperfocal distance
In landscape photography you usually want everything in the picture to be sharp, right from rocks and plants in the foreground to distant details on the horizon.
This means you need maximum depth of field, which can mean some complicated calculations, because it depends on the lens focal length, the focus distance and the lens aperture.
But landscape photographers have found a clever solution – the 'hyperfocal distance'. For any given focal length and lens aperture, this tells you the distance you need to focus at to put the horizon right at the far limit of the depth of field, and bring the near limit of depth of field as close to the camera is possible.
You can use a smartphone app to do the calculations for you, or just look up hyperfocal distances on a table. Here's an example for a DX-format Nikon DSLR using a focal length of 18mm.
The 'iris' is the mechanism inside the lens that produces the variable lens apertures used for exposure and depth of field control – it's also called the 'diaphragm'.
It consists of a series of thin, overlapping blades that slide across each other as the aperture is adjusted, producing a smaller or a larger hole for the light to pass through.
The shape of this hole has an impact on the appearance of out-of-focus highlights in your pictures, and defocused areas in general.
Older iris mechanisms use a smaller number of blades, and these produce an iris shape which is not completely circular – it may be hexagonal, for example.
These days, the fashion is for circular highlights, and so lens makers have increased the number of iris blades to produce a more circular aperture.
SEE MORE: 7 questions photographers must ask about their next piece of glass
A 'joiner' is a picture stitched together from two or more separate frames, and it's a great way of getting a super-wide-angle shot when you don't have a super-wide-angle lens.
You need to set the camera to manual exposure and focus, so that the settings don't change between shots, then take a series of pictures which overlap by around one-third.
Don't take too many, because the wider the joiner becomes, the more unwieldy it is to view and print. This joiner was made from two overlapping pictures using Photoshop Elements.
We only had a regular wide-angle lens, but it's given us a picture which otherwise would have needed an expensive super-wide lens.

Russian Foreign Ministry: 1 killed, 2 injured by Ukrainian shell near border
MOSCOW — Russia's foreign ministry said Sunday that a Ukrainian shell hit a Russian border town, killing one person and seriously injuring two others. Ukraine denied firing a shell into Russian territory.
President Vladimir Putin expressed "grave concern" over the incident, Russian news agencies quoted his spokesman as saying. A statement from Russia's foreign ministry labeled the event a "provocation," and warned of the possibility of "irreversible consequences, the responsibility for which lies on the Ukrainian side."
Russia said the shell hit the courtyard of a residential building in the Russian town of Donetsk — near the Ukrainian city of the same name that has become a rebel stronghold — early on Sunday. Ukraine's restless east has been mired in a pro-Russian separatist insurgency against the Kiev government.
Ukrainian officials denied that any Ukrainian shells had fallen on Russian territory. Andriy Lysenko, a spokesman for Ukraine's National Security and Defense Council, was quoted by Interfax Ukraine as saying that Ukrainian forces "do not fire on the territory of a neighboring country. They do not fire on residential areas." He placed blame for the attack on the rebels themselves.
Russia has made repeated claims that settlements along its porous border with Ukraine — which the West and Kiev say is a key supply route for the rebels — have been hit by Ukrainian fire, but no deaths have been previously reported.
Michelle Knight, freed after 11 years of captivity, says her new fame comes with complications
CLEVELAND — Michelle Knight has discovered that the fame that followed her escape from Ariel Castro's house of horrors cuts both ways.
There has been some obvious good. The girl who grew up without a toothbrush and spent nearly 11 years in captivity can provide for herself. She has her own apartment. Her book, "Finding Me," spent five weeks on the New York Times Bestsellers List. She and the other two women kidnapped by Castro split $1.4 million in donations collected after their escape. Phil McGraw of "Dr. Phil" television fame presented Knight with an oversized check for more than $400,000 from his foundation.
In a recent interview with the Associated Press, Knight said she is ready to assume a normal life and, with it, a new name and identity — Lily Rose Lee.
"I'm not a celebrity," said Knight, 33. "I don't want to be. I want to be me."
Fame has brought some frustrations. Knight becomes frightened when crowds sometimes gather around her as she walks alone. She finds it annoying when people snap cellphone photos without asking.
Kerry, fellow diplomats make no breakthrough on Iran nuclear talks as deadline looms
VIENNA — Joint efforts by U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and three other Western foreign ministers failed Sunday to advance faltering nuclear talks with Iran, with the target date for a deal only a week away.
"There has been no breakthrough today," said British Foreign Secretary William Hague after meetings with Kerry and the foreign ministers of France, Germany and Iran.
The trip gave Kerry a chance to ease an espionage dispute with Germany. After meeting with German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier, both stressed the importance of their cooperation in solving global crises, yet offered little indication they have fully mended ties.
Separately, Kerry spoke by telephone with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about the escalating Mideast violence. Like the others, he also met with Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif.
"We're working, we're working, we just got here," said Kerry, chiding reporters asking about progress as Sunday's meetings wound down.

It is important to note that the new estimates do not show an increase in new HIV infections. The new estimates are from the first national surveillance system of its kind in the world that is based on direct measurement of new HIV infections using technology that can distinguish recent from long-standing, population-based infections. Using the new surveillance system, CDC estimates that 56,300 new HIV infections occurred in the United States in 2006. CDC previously estimated that approximately 40,000 new HIV infections occurred annually since the 1990s. The 2006 incidence estimate is about 40% higher than the previous estimates. The new system reveals that the epidemic is -- and has been -- worse than previously estimated and underscores the need to expand HIV prevention to reach those at greatest risk.
The CDC-developed, breakthrough technology known as STARHS stands for Serological Testing Algorithm for Recent HIV Seroconversion. This technology allows us to know, for the first time, which HIV infections are new. CDC applied this technology in the first national surveillance system of its kind in the world to directly measure new HIV infections. CDC scientists worked for almost a decade to realize the promise of STARHS technology by combining it with an expanded HIV reporting system in the U.S. This combined approach will allow CDC to better monitor the current course of the epidemic, target prevention efforts where they are needed most, and assess the impact of prevention efforts.
CDC's new HIV surveillance system is based on an approach known as STARHS (Serological Testing Algorithm for Recent HIV Seroconversion), which uses innovative testing technology to determine at the population level which positive HIV tests represent new HIV infections (those that occurred within approximately the past five months). Before the widespread availability of this technology, HIV diagnosis data provided the best indication of recent trends in key populations. However, diagnosis data only indicate when a person is diagnosed with HIV, not when an individual was actually infected, which can occur many years before a diagnosis.
By applying this technology to new HIV diagnoses in 22 states with mature name-based HIV reporting systems, CDC was -- for the first time -- able to identify those diagnoses in a given year that represented new infections. Using a complex statistical model, these data were extrapolated to the general population to provide the first national estimates of HIV incidence based on direct measurement.
CDC researchers also used a separate method called extended back calculation to confirm the official 2006 incidence estimates and to examine historical trends in HIV infections in the U.S. from 1977 to 2006. The method uses a statistical model that considers all HIV and AIDS cases diagnosed through 2006 and reported to CDC, as well as HIV testing patterns. This particular extended back calculation approach has become possible in the United States because of an expanded name-based HIV reporting system, which provides a population-based system for identifying new diagnoses. However, the method is an indirect measure of incidence and is most reliable for earlier years; data for the most recent years (2003-2006) must be interpreted with caution. Additionally, extended back-calculation does not generate single-year estimates, instead providing averages over multiple-year periods.
The statistical methods used to develop the 2006 incidence estimates, as well as the extended back calculation of historical trends, were developed in consultation with outside experts, and both the methods and their application underwent rigorous external scientific reviews.
Moving forward, the STARHS-based surveillance system will provide the most reliable way to monitor incidence trends. Over time, the picture will become even more clear as analyses for specific populations are completed (e.g., black women, young men who have sex with men). Trend information from this system will allow for improved targeting and evaluation of prevention efforts for the populations at greatest risk and improved monitoring of the impact of HIV prevention efforts.
It is important to note that the new estimate for national HIV infections does not represent an actual increase in the annual number of new HIV infections. A separate CDC historical trend analysis suggests that the number of new infections was never as low as 40,000 and has been roughly stable since the late 1990s. Although CDC's analysis suggests that overall the epidemic has been stable in recent years, steady increases in new HIV infections are estimated to have occurred among men who have sex with men (MSM) since the early 1990s, and the overall number of new HIV infections remains unacceptably high. These findings underscore the ongoing challenges in confronting this disease and the urgent need to expand access to effective HIV prevention programs.
No. CDC's historical analysis indicates that the number of infections among women has remained relatively stable since the early 1990s.
The new incidence estimates were released by The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) on August 3, 2008. The new estimates are also available on this Web site.
The new technology provides a critical missing piece in tracking the U.S. HIV epidemic and, over time, will allow us to better direct and measure progress in prevention efforts among populations at highest risk for HIV. The current HIV incidence estimates, as well as future annual estimates, will become one of CDC's most sensitive measures for monitoring progress toward reducing HIV transmission in the U.S. Although the 2006 national incidence estimate may appear different than suggested by previous HIV incidence studies, the overall data are consistent with CDC's HIV prevention priorities. CDC will strive to expand the reach of prevention services for at-risk populations and remain committed to its core prevention priorities: reducing new infections, increasing knowledge of HIV status, linking persons infected with HIV to care and prevention services, and strengthening the ability to monitor the epidemic.
Not at this time. Gay and bisexual men of all races and African Americans continue to be hardest hit by the epidemic; and about 25% of people living with HIV remain unaware of their infections. The new estimates also show that more HIV infections occur among young people under age 30 than any other age group. More detailed information about trends in HIV incidence among youth and other at-risk populations will become available over time. As these data become available, CDC priorities may change over time in accordance with these trends.
The 2006 HIV incidence estimates show:
We have significant evidence that prevention works. Infection rates for people who inject drugs have declined dramatically over time. Infection rates in women of all races have been relatively stable since the early 1990s. Infection rates in heterosexuals who engage in high-risk sexual behaviors have been relatively stable since the early 1990s. While stability and declining infection rates in certain populations is an important sign of progress, the new estimates underscore the need to expand access to HIV prevention. Many populations at risk for HIV are not being reached by our collective prevention efforts, and much more must be done. For example, recent data show that over the past year, 80% of MSM are not being reached by the intensive interventions we know to be most effective. This underscores the challenge of reaching new generations while adapting to the evolving epidemic. Additionally, far too many undiagnosed individuals remain unaware of their infections. We must ensure that resources and prevention efforts are commensurate with the scale of the epidemic.
Yes, CDC is currently working to expand the use of new scientifically proven interventions for a range of populations at risk and testing a number of innovative behavioral interventions for key risk groups, particularly African American men who have sex with men (MSM). CDC remains committed to expanding HIV prevention and care services to all at-risk populations and those hardest hit by the epidemic, such as African Americans and MSM. It is clear that there is an urgent need to accelerate progress, and as a nation we must continue to invest in prevention and extend the reach of HIV prevention services.
This new method is viewed as a breakthrough in HIV incidence monitoring because it can distinguish recent from long-standing HIV infections. The new method provides the clearest picture of the U.S. epidemic to date, and over time, will enable CDC to better target and evaluate prevention efforts for the populations at greatest risk. Accurately tracking the HIV epidemic is essential to CDC's HIV prevention efforts.
The 2006 HIV incidence estimates provide the clearest picture of the U.S. epidemic to date, and over time will enable CDC to better target and evaluate prevention efforts for the populations at greatest risk. By applying the Serological Testing Algorithm for Recent Seroconversion (STARHS) to new HIV diagnoses in 22 states with name-based HIV reporting systems, CDC is able to identify new diagnoses that represent new infections. These data are extrapolated to the general population to provide the first national estimate of HIV incidence based on direct measurement. The STARHS-based surveillance system will provide the most reliable way to monitor incidence trends and result in more accurate and timely HIV incidence estimates to better direct prevention programs, mobilize communities and inform resources decisions.
No. The 2006 HIV incidence estimate does not affect the previous HIV prevalence estimate of more than 1 million people living with HIV/AIDS. New estimates of national HIV prevalence and the proportion of persons who know their HIV status in 2006 will be generated later in 2008.

The NULL Predicate
The NULL predicate is used to test if the specified expression is the NULL value, and has the form:
If the predicate specifies expression IS NULL, then the result is true if any operand in the expression is NULL.
The result is false if no operand in the expression is NULL.
The result of the NULL predicate is never unknown.
The use of composite expressions in NULL predicates provides a shorthand for testing whether any of the operands is NULL. Thus the predicate "A+B IS NULL" is an alternative to "A IS NULL OR B IS NULL", provided that A+B does not result in overflow.
Note: The actual arithmetical operator(s) used in numerical expressions in NULL predicates is irrelevant since all arithmetical operations involving a NULL value evaluate to the NULL value.
The NULL predicate is the only way to test for the presence of the NULL value in a column, since all other predicates where at least one of the operands is NULL evaluate to unknown.

I thought this was a curious quote from Sports Illustrated's recent Kickin' It With Carl feature. A student from Alabama wrote a letter asking Edwards if he should leave college to pursue his dream of becoming a driver or mechanic. Edwards' answer started thoughtful and then veered completely sideways.
Edwards' response:
"That letter could have come from me in 1998 or 1999. I know exactly how you feel. The reality is, though, unless you have a contract in front of you where somebody says they're going to pay you to drive race cars, you're better off, I believe, to race all you can while still going to college and getting that degree."
So far, so good. Here's where his advice gets a little loose.
"There's not one NASCAR driver starting a race this weekend other than Ryan Newman who has a college degree, so I think a degree could help you with your career more than you think. And not just as an accomplishment, either — as a personal pursuit of knowledge."
Got that? Out of 43 drivers, one has a degree. So get your degree. Even though it will not help you become a driver.

A group of Nebraska state senators plan to propose increasing the minimum wage in Nebraska in the upcoming legislative session. Jim Vokal is the Executive Director of the Platte Institute and says they conducted a study on how minimum wage increases impact workers and the economy. He doesn't recommend it.
He says when the minimum wage goes up so does the wages of federal employees. Vokal says it is also tied to unions as members are required to make "x" amount over and above the minimum wage. Vokal says research shows many unintended consequences to raising the minimum wage.
He says the most impacted will be the lower skilled employees in the 16 to 19 age group.

The 2012 Oscar nominations are out and with no surprise, The Artist continues its awards streak, picking up nominations for Best Picture, Best Actress, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Director (along with six other noms). Hugo actually leads with 11 nominations, including Best Picture and Best Directing for Martin Scorsese.
Despite being the highest-grossing movie of the year (and highly praised by critics), Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 got shut out of the main nominations and was nominated for again only technical awards, including Best Visual Effects. Interesting note — the Harry Potter franchise has yet to win a single Oscar. This year, only 9 movies were nominated for Best Picture instead of 10. It's possible Harry Potter could have snagged that 10th nomination.
Jennifer Lawrence announced the nominees along with Academy President Tom Sherak at the headquarters of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. The 84th Annual Oscars will be televised on ABC on Sunday, Feb. 26, with Billy Crystal hosting.

During a "storm relief" event Tuesday in Dayton, Ohio, Romney ignored repeated questions from reporters about whether he wished to scale back the Federal Emergency Management Agency, a position he advocated during a GOP primary debate, in June 2011. FEMA is in charge of coordinating the federal response to disasters such as Hurricane Sandy.
The Romney campaign stressed Monday that states should take the lead in responding to emergencies such as the superstorm. But the campaign pushed back on the report that Romney would abolish FEMA.
"Gov. Romney believes that states should be in charge of emergency management in responding to storms and other natural disasters in their jurisdictions," spokesman Ryan Williams said in a statement.
A campaign official added that Romney would not abolish FEMA.
The statement came after the Huffington Post highlighted Romney's comments from a June 2011 CNN primary debate in which Romney said states should take on a bigger role in responding to disasters. "Mitt Romney In GOP Debate: Shut Down Federal Disaster Agency, Send Responsibility To The States," the headline read.

Arctic Cooling Accelero S1 & Turbo Module ReviewMakaveli - September 26, 2007
» Discuss this article (4)
Turbo Module:
To install the Arctic Cooling Turbo Module, all you need to do is line up the fans so that they are horizontally aligned and push them into the Accelero S1. Once they are in, take a small screw driver and push the cable that is in between them down into the fins of the Accelero.
Plug in the 3-pin female connector into the included converter and plug that into your power supply once the video card is correctly inserted into your motherboard. After everything is completely connected, power your system up and make sure both fans are spinning and that they aren't caught on anything.
Everything is installed on the video card, so let's test these two products!

Pedal for peace
Cross-country cyclist stranded by crash
It was just talk -- five guys what-iffing a bike ride across the United States.
What if they each went a different way, starting from a different state?
What if their routes, laid out on a map, formed letters: a "P," an "E," an "A"?
And what if those letters, put together, spelled "peace"?
What would that say?
They even mapped it out. The "P" reached from Seattle to Los Angeles.
They agreed. They would do it.
Then they went to bed. And that was the end of it.
Except for Hayato Tokudome. He looked hard at that map. He traced his finger over the letters. He imagined the Grand Canyon, the Badlands and Huck Finn's Mississippi; the snake-boot Texans and the white steps of Washington, D.C., where the wars that had so occupied America -- and that had spread to his own friends, talking in that apartment in Hyago, Japan -- had begun.
Yes, he said. He would do it.
All of it.
He cashed in two years of savings -- his take from a job in the cell-phone industry. And, at 29, he bought himself a bike.
(Chris Sigmund / Erie Times-News)
Zoom | Buy this photo
He landed in Los Angeles.
He rode, alone, up the coast.
"In a sense, as a youth, I perceived wars and peace as somebody else's business," Tokudome says.
He is sitting in the kitchen at the Erie City Mission. He has lost his clothes; his collarbone shows over the stretched neck of a borrowed T-shirt.
"America is depicted as a powerful nation," he says. "I wanted to see the real America."
He almost did it.
He got to San Francisco. He rode to Eureka, Calif., through Coos Bay, Ore., and into Olympic National Park. He turned east, across Washington state, then went into Oregon, and back to California.
He rode 60 miles a day. He carried three sets of clothes, a camera and an ATM card. He spent $15 a day.
He slept in campgrounds, setting a tent next to air-conditioned RVs.
He pedalled into the desert.
"There is nothing there," he says, speaking through an interpreter. "It's dry. It's very flat. There were ghost towns.
"I was happy to see the shadow of a human being."
He got to Salt Lake City. He went to Twin Falls, and on to Phoenix, and then to Las Cruces, in New Mexico.
He had finished two letters -- "P" and "E". The third took him across the heartland -- Oklahoma, Kansas, Iowa, the Dakotas.
He carried 5 liters of water. He showered once a week.
"It is easy in the heat," he says. "All you need is water to splash here and there."
He started on the "C." Suddenly there was too much water -- five straight days of rain. And that was all he saw of Chicago.
He pushed on, from Wisconsin to Minneapolis. He got to Omaha; Kansas City; Tulsa, Okla.; New Orleans.
He took pictures. He inked big pink letters on his ripped-up map.
And so it went, from Louisville, Ky., to Fredericksburg, Va., and on to Washington, D.C.
He did not stop at the Lincoln Memorial. He never saw the White House, or the headstones at Arlington, or the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, which has long drawn bikers of another kind.
There was no time. The sun was going down.
He rode north, through Harrisburg, Williamsport and Corning, N.Y. He turned west and went to Buffalo.
On Nov. 11, after seven months on the road, he approached North East. He was at the top of the last "E" in "peace."
The bike had reflectors. But the sun was down, and his jacket was dark.
The driver never saw him.
Tokudome remembers nothing of it. He woke at Hamot Medical Center. His left side was swollen, and his cheek was torn open. The hole was as big as a quarter.
There were stitches in his neck.
He went to the City Mission. His clothes were gone. His bike was pretzeled, hauled-off by the tow-truck driver.
Since then he has been waiting, filling out paperwork, trying to line up his insurance, a new bike and an extension on his visa, which expires on Dec 3.
He would like to complete the ride.
"He has some apprehensions about this," says the translator, Keiko Miller. "But his spirit wants to finish it."
It's odd for him, sitting, going nowhere. It is not his nature. His name, Hayato, means "moving fast."
"I am feeling the impact of this pause," he says. "I am trying to make it a valuable time, reflecting, assessing and planning."
Still, he second-guesses.
"I question it," he says.
"Is the goal to finish? Is that the only thing? Or is there something else that I should learn from this experience?"
The answer to that, he believes, is in Altura, Calif., where a couple in an RV told him he could stop at Walmarts without fear of being run off. It's in Tulsa, where a woman gave him water, and in Erie, at the City Mission, where he got a clean T-shirt.
"I am beginning to understand where peace lies," he says, the map spread out in front of him. "It is not in these letters. It is in the hearts of people, when they open up and give to you. That moment when they offer water, or say, 'Come on in' ... That is peace."
He looks down at the map, where the bottom half of his last "E" fishhooks into Florida. He wonders if he will ever see it.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- With the confirmation hearing of Janet Yellen this week, Quantitative Easing has once again become the most popular topic of conversation in the financial media. We are hearing renewed complaints about how the Fed's creation of an artificially low interest rate environment is hurting -- in some cases destroying -- the dreams of retirees and savers. This argument is not only ignorant but misses the true risk to this American demographic.I believe the true risk to the 80-year-old owner of bonds and CDs is not that their income stream today is so low, but that they are being given a once-in-a-lifetime trading opportunity and missing it. When interest rates -- and therefore yields on newly issued debt -- decline, the price of existing, higher-interest paper improves.

Student expelled from school after shooting stun gun in the air to stop bullies
Until very recently, Darnell 'Dynasty' Young was a junior at Arsenal Technical High School in Indianapolis, Indiana. Young, who is gay, says he was bullied daily. When a group of students surrounded Young with the intention of beating him up, he pulled out the stun gun his mother had given him and shot in the air. While the shot lead to the students to run, it also lead to Young's arrest and expulsion from school.
Regarding the shot, Young told MSNBC reporters "My point was not to hurt anybody … the purpose was to back them off. I didn't know what else to do."
Arsenal Tech's principal Larry Yarrell said that although school administration had looked into Young's bullying claims, they were not able to pinpoint all of the students that bullied him. The principal also suggested that Young "tone down" his look. The district has stood by the school's decision to expell Young, whom would not be eligible to return to school until January of next year.
When asked by a reporter at CNN about giving her son a stun gun, Darnell mother Chelsea Grimes said, "I do not promote violence — not at all — but what is a parent to do when she has done everything that she felt she was supposed to do. I did feel like there was nothing else left for me to do, but protect my child.
In a statement to MSNBC, Executive Director of the Gay-Straight Alliance Network Carolyn Laub said,
"Dynasty, like many other lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender young people, was pushed out of school by an administration that failed to keep him safe and by school discipline policies that remove students instead of resolve the problem. When schools use a 'zero tolerance' approach to school discipline, they unfortunately reinforce an environment of fear and punishment and fail to create a climate of inclusion, safety, and respect for all students."
What do you think? Did the school act appropriately, or did it go too far? Let us know in the comments.

After only having him around for a mere six months (or just under), Reggie my Siamese Fighting Fish died last night at around 5.45pm. He'd been battling an illness for about three weeks. We think it might have been a bacterial infection or fish tuberculosis. Whatever it was - Reggie fought bravely until the very end when he died alone in the laundry.
He'd been improving over the last couple of days - his eyes stopped swelling, he started swimming around the tank with more gusto and he even began eating again. Yesterday he lost all energy for life and spent the day lying in the sun in his tank on top of the washing machine (we put him in the laundry because it's the warmest part in the house. He had his bilby beside him and a giant stuffed toy cow with udders keeping him company).
I kept checking in on him but between my 5.35pm and 6pm watch, he let go.
Reggie's now buried underneath a tree that faces to the east, so he'll keep seeing the first rays of sunshine like he did from the lounge room table. He's also buried close to my other Siamese Fighting Fish - Franklin and Fred.

With luck, you're now swimming around in a luxurious bowl in the sky with a bright yellow mirror to have mini face-offs with your reflection, a stuffed toy bilby and a marble dolphin keeping watch over you.
Goodbye Reggie. I'll miss you.

Temperature and measurements
Does the temperature impact on the parameters measurement ?
all the week I've dealing with high nitrites levels. I made daily water changes for 7 days; the last two were from 60%, all the week I saw the same result 5 ppm, however, today I saw a drastical change from 5 ppm to 0.5 ppm. the only thing has changed; besides the water (obvious) has been the temp. from 77°F to 80°F.
Could this factor make a difference in the measurements?
No, I don't think 3 deg F is going to change test results. I think there are two factors here; 1) at some point the bacteria kicks in and like ammonia, nitrite becomes so low it is no longer measurable; and 2) slightly higher temperatures promote an increase in bacteria proliferation (think of cold food as it warms to room temperature).
I really hope so, it was not easy, I think it was easier to reach out the 5 ppm of nitrites than bring them down, well, things can't be that bad, I have a fry !, and I've seen the mollies doing something that looks pretty much like the mating, could be interesting, some are blacks and others silver LOL!

Welcome to Fairydale Resort
An unexpected turn on the Kotdwar- Pauri road brings you to Lansdowne, a pretty hill station in the Pauri Garhwal region of Uttarakhand. 'Lord Lansdowne' founded Lansdowne, in 1887 AD, thus the place has been named after him. This beautiful retreat was popular with the British who established the Garhwal Rifles Regimental Centre here during the Raj. The town is well developed thanks to the cantonment, it is charming unspoiled and tranquil.
The drive to Lansdowne will be the best drive of your life. The route goes through small hamlets and thickly forested countryside roads. The first view of Lansdowne is breathtaking. Lansdowne is set admits lovely surroundings - tall oaks and blue pines raise like spires off the mountainside. The forests are lovely, dark and deep, just ideal for those long walks and for rejuvenating oneself. In spite of being so close to Delhi, it surprisingly, does not have traffic on the road leading to Lansdowne. Lansdowne was originally a popular hill station of the British. Attracted by its salubrious climate and natural beauty, they established a cantonment here. The place still has a cantonment and proudly preserves its links from the past.
The FAIRYDALE RESORT at Lansdowne is the only resort at Lansdowne with a discipline of its own. The emphasis is on letting the bodies own rejuvenation process take over while the system supplied with the right amount of nutrients, exercise, walks, and fresh air. Your choice of food from the large menu is cooked in the mess and it's a gourmet's delight. We believe that the world must wait a little while our guests build up their stamina to take on the world again. Fairydale is the little Himalayan wonderland that makes tigers out of corporate executives.
One comes to Lansdowne to do nothing. Let's face it. All of us deserve to do nothing every once in a hectic while and we at Fairydale Resort offer you just that and more.
Its green hill and varied fauna and flora makes it a colorful and picturesque hill station, commanding a wonderful view of the extensive Himalayan snow ranges as also a glittering view of the river Ganga. Un-spoilt nature, bracing air and a magnificent view of the snow covered peaks inspire peace and tranquility. If you dream of the romance of the mountain, then Fairydale Resort is the perfect place.
Fairydale has limited accommodation. These are five large rooms within the house and three in the cottages below ( see photographs of room ). An outhouse has been converted into a dining room. The log cabin with its wide glass windows has beautiful view of the surrounding trees and foliage. Mr. Pankaj Shah, the owner of Fairydale Resort, has outsourced the catering to Mr Ashok Khandelwal, who keeps Fairydale clean, green and with a hygienic kitchen. He serves the best Indian, Mughlai, Marwari and Chinese food, this side of the Himalayas.
A breakfast of 'hot paranthas' with creamy yogurt and Khandelwal's 'marwari pickle' is a favorite with guests. But he can also serve you the best cuisine, if ordered.

Justice DeLayed
Why neither side wants the House majority leader gone.
Social conservatives who dislike Dreier's position in favor of stem-cell research started calling House leaders and members to lobby against him. "We do not find David Dreier representative of the values of conservatives," said Jessica Echard, executive director of the pro-family group the Eagle Forum, which contacted members of the Republican caucus. The House "Values Action Team," a group of GOP members tasked with pushing pro-life/pro-family issues within the caucus, blasted an e-mail to their colleagues alerting them that Dreier was to be tapped as a replacement and underlining his voting record supporting stem-cell research and against the marriage protection amendment.
Several Republican sources speculate that the ambitious Blunt put his allies in the socially conservative groups on the phone-calling campaign, and now that he has the job, won't want to give it back if DeLay is cleared. Now, those are tactics Tom DeLay would approve of.
