With the holiday season approaching fast, many families in America are preparing to host relatives, friends and visitors for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and the New Year.
Yet, in our current economic climate, strict budgets have seemingly penetrated every facet of life, threatening to sour the sweet times holiday parties offer.
While being frugal and cost efficient are important attributes to survive hard times, it's also important to enjoy hosting family and friends we rarely have to chance to visit.
Thus, here are some budget-friendly tips that will surely make your holiday party an event to remember!
Plan ahead of time.
When planning a party, no matter what the occasion, four key elements must be satisfied. These elements include:
- Good entertainment
- Good beverage selection
- Good food
- Good hospitality
Couponing is a great way to trim down the food and beverage expenses. Once you figure out the preferences of your guests, you can easily search newspapers and online forums such as slick deals, to find what stores have the products you need for the most affordable price. Slick deals even has a twitter feed where followers can view the best up-to-date deals on products at their local stores, or available online.
Use interactive electronic invitations.
Technology advances offer a huge assist in creating a food and beverage list, as interactive invites such as Evite allow users to create, plan and manage online invitations.
Through this social-planning website, Evite not only sends you updates when guests RSVP, you can also keep a digital record of what items your guests plan to bring while informing others what items are still needed. Evite also allows invitees to view the list of people who RSVP to attend a party – which may not seem important, until you realize your ex-boyfriend or ex-girlfriend has sent out an RSVP plus-one for the event you plan to attend.
Make sure your drink selection includes variety.
I doubt the fact that I'm the only person over the age of 21 that does not indulge in alcoholic beverages. For this reason it's important that you include a good mix of nonalcoholic drinks in your list of things to purchase. Take it from me, there is no annoyance more dreadful than searching through various fifths of liquor, trying to find a juice that won't ignite if poured over gun powder and lit.
Frugal shoppers can stretch their money even longer with the five liter Heineken DraughtKeg (without resembling an undergraduate fraternity house party), due to the sleek and sophisticated design of the 12-pound keg with a built-in CO2 pressure system.
The 1.3-gallon keg may not seem like much, but imagine how much your bar tab would be for the 166 ounces of beer that you're paying $20 to consume.
Remember the golden rule when treating your guests.
There is no amount of money you can spend on a party that will replace the feeling your guests get when they realize you thought about their wants (drink or food preferences listed on Evite) when they attend your party. It's really the thought that counts when attempting to impress your friends at a party and not the amount of money spent on the event. Remembering your guest likes and dislikes will surely make for a memorable experience.
I hope these party tips were helpful and on behalf of Quicken Loans, have a safe and happy holiday season!

Editorial Review
The Indian automobile market has matured tremendously and gone are the days when only price and kmpl matter. Of course they are an ever so important consideration for a car purchase but now the India car-buyer wants that something extra and he wants style, features and yes even performance. The concept of hot hatchback is still in its infancy in India but is a rage in Europe.
The hot hatchback is essentially puting a big engine in a small car plus some sporty styling. This shows that you do not have to spend big money to have fun behind the wheel. In India the Fiat Palio 1.6 started the trend and now it is carried over by the Toyota Liva 1.5 and the Volkswagen Polo GT TSI. So among all these hot hatchbacks, Maruti should also bring the Swift Sport. The Swift is a sporty hatch and we love to drive it- a sentiment shared by many of its owners. However the Sport version just takes it to the next level.
It may not be a volume proposition but the brand Swift will be benefited by the Sport version. While we cannot expect the 136 bhp engine in the international version as it would be too expensive, there are other options available. Maruti can use the Ertiga's 1.4 l engine or even better the 1.6 engine from the SX4. The 1.4 the petrol K-series engine could be a practical option which makes 95 PS at 6000 rpm and has max torque of 130 Nm@4000 rpm. The bigger engine is a 1.6 litre petrol version which develops 104 PS which would make this hot hatch dance.
Along with a more powerful engine there would also be sporty styling. The Swift Sport will get a large front grille plus big fog lamps that add even more sporting character. Also expect tasty 17 inch allloys which are wrapped in 195/45R17 tyres. Other than that expect a spoiler, side skirts also. The inside will see new upholstery and changed instruments.

Appeals court rejects family shooting lawsuit
Published: Thursday, February 20, 2014 at 7:31 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, February 20, 2014 at 7:31 a.m.
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — An appeals court has dismissed a lawsuit brought by survivors of a shooting that left four members of a Jupiter family dead.
The survivors of the Thanksgiving Day 2009 shooting sought damages from the parents of 39-year-old Paul Merhige. The mentally ill man is serving two life sentences.
They originally sued Michael and Carole Merhige, saying they were responsible for the shooting because they had invited him to the family dinner knowing he was dangerous. That case was dismissed in 2012.
The Palm Beach Post (http://bit.ly/1ct6ej9 ) reports the survivors argued in an appeal that the parents created a "zone of risk" because Merhige was violent toward certain family members.
But the 4th Disctrict Court of Appeal ruled that didn't amount to a legal duty to keep him from the gathering.

settlements from seeking reforms. By the 1940s most settlements were community-based social service agencies, more often extensions of the government than critics of society--if they ever had been, which of course most had not.
Jane Addams and her colleagues in the settlement movement did not see eye to eye on many policy issues regarding settlement houses, but because of the decentralized nature of the movement (it was twenty-two years old before it felt the need for a national organization) and Addams's belief in individual freedom, these disagreements remained mostly uncontested. Despite Addams's enormous personal appeal as a much-loved public figure, her influence on the directions taken by the settlement movement was not great. Her greatest reform was Hull House. As its cofounder and head resident, she gave herself and others the opportunity to help to change America.

The gods of heavy metal are never gonna die.
With RedOctane showing off Guitar Hero 2 at E3, it makes sense they'd need to have a few songs available for attendees to play. Well, they will. Seven songs in total will be playable at E3, and they are:
E3 is going to rock. Are you ready?
Drist - "Arterial Black"
The Reverend Horton Heat - "Psychobilly Freakout"
KISS - "Strutter"
Black Sabbath - "War Pigs"
The Butthole Surfers - "Who Was in My Room Last Night"
The Kinks (the Van Halen version) - "You Really Got Me"
And... RUSH - "YYZ"
E3 is going to rock. Are you ready?

I am getting that game \"/ \"/Posted: Sep 25, 2006 12:00AM PST by gungamer26
This is going to be the best one yet only if they would make it for xbox
RATMPosted: Jun 21, 2006 12:00AM PST by BallzBDragon
I would love to see "Bulls on parade" on this game. Although the way Tom Morello plays his guitar would make it a little weird to translate it into the game.
heyPosted: May 29, 2006 12:00AM PST by wedgee_wizard
some good songs
Black Sabbath again?Posted: May 09, 2006 12:00AM PST by Iron_Hit-man
I read somewhere that they were only going to let one song from each band in the Guitar Hero games. Yet I see they have another Black Sabbath song. This is great now there is hope that I can still get to play some more Bowie, Hendrix and of course Ozzy.
Nice list of songs.Posted: May 09, 2006 12:00AM PST by jackass1987
Look like Guitar Hero 2 is going to be a good game.
\m/>.<\m/Posted: May 05, 2006 12:00AM PST by Brace-4-impact
Kiss!! Rush!!! VanHalen!!!!! Now we just need Boston, AC/DC, and Styx, and about 45 more songs.
"It's A Psychobilly Freakout!!!"Posted: May 05, 2006 12:00AM PST by king_e_dawg
That's what it is! YEEEEEAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!
Don't hate until you play themPosted: May 05, 2006 12:00AM PST by skyemandream
It's funny how people are hating on some of these songs before they've even played them. These songs are gonna play so good in the game and it's 7 out of 60+ tracks. All I say is play the seven songs and then make your judgment. I gaurentee you will take back any words against these songs.
PanteraPosted: May 05, 2006 12:00AM PST by SolidSnakeKA13
I have to agree that Guitar Hero 2 needs alot of Pantera songs. Not only out of respect for dimebag, but because their songs are heavy on the guitar. Respect, 5 Minutes Alone, Becoming... Too bad 13 steps to nowhere couldnt be on it :)
Guys THIS IS ONLY 7 SONGS!!Posted: May 05, 2006 12:00AM PST by shadowofomioc
lmao. Everyones all like " why no this or this ". This is 7 released songs out of 55 people. If they were able to get Kiss and Butthole Surfers and bands like that, most likely they got some Metallica or Def Lepperd or Led Zepplin and stuff like that as well. No telling what they will be able to grab this time around. With the amazing popularity of GH I doubt many bands gave them the cold shoulder.
YYZ = awesomeness!Posted: May 05, 2006 12:00AM PST by ElMariachi003
That is going to be insane! Great choice, Harmonix!
Where's Bjork!?!Posted: May 05, 2006 12:00AM PST by casket_case
Rocking out to Army of Me wearing a swan shirt. Hellooo ladddiess.
To all those requesting songs...Posted: May 05, 2006 12:00AM PST by EndOfWorld
Licensing songs from big bands is expensive. Why do you think there are so many indie bands on GH. I'm sure they pay for use of all the songs. I doubt Metallica would allow their songs in the game gratis. Just picture Lars asking for a million dollars... I bet he would.
Hey Rockman_xPosted: May 05, 2006 12:00AM PST by Moribund777
Maybe you should do your research on music made before the 1980s. The Kinks wrote "you really got me", Van Halen covered it many years later.
what?Posted: May 05, 2006 12:00AM PST by ProdigyDude85
whats metal without a few tracks off metallica.
How about Pantera??Posted: May 05, 2006 12:00AM PST by wolf_star22
Hey!Posted: May 05, 2006 12:00AM PST by CartRacer6
More Stevie Ray Vaughn, the man is crazy as hell on the guitar and the last song that they had "Texas Flood" [I think that was the one on the last Guitar Hero] was killer. Definately in agreeance though with everyone else, where's the Metallica? Where's the Anthrax? How about something a little bass heavy since they're talking about how you can switch off and play the bass lines and rhythem section of songs instead of just lead [but really who's going to give up lead?]. They've got time. Maybe "Enter the Sandman" will show up, unless Metallica turns all rightious and crazy and says that Red Octane can't touch it [I totally spelled that wrong damn].
"Who was in my room last night???"Posted: May 05, 2006 12:00AM PST by partridgestorm
THAT WAS MY JAM!!! I loved Butthole Surfers back in the day. Holee shit guys. Most of you never heard it, but trust me, its got some awesome riffs in it.
red octane missing revenue opportunityPosted: May 05, 2006 12:00AM PST by naughntown
Red octane is missing a revenue opportunity for downloadable content. If ever there was a fit for such a model its this game. Make one for the 360... (PLEASE GOD, becuase the playstation version has a delay and I cant play it on my 50 inch samsung dlp...SOB!!) And then make tracks for a .50 cents or $1 a pop and WALA... i'd buy whole cd's at a time ... shit...
All i want to hear...Posted: May 05, 2006 12:00AM PST by aragorn546
Is that at least one of the tracks later on will be some modern heavy stuff....man oh man would it rock if they had a slipknot song
Why no Metallica or some truly heavy shit...Posted: May 05, 2006 12:00AM PST by Praetorianer
like Sepultura or some devastating Hardcore stuff? It may be simple to play, but at least you could bang your head to it!
Wheres Metallica, Radiohead, GNR?Posted: May 05, 2006 12:00AM PST by Roguecloud
wtf guys, those bands are ok, but how about the ones in my title or at least put crazy train in there by ozzy.!
ACDC ~ ThunderStruckPosted: May 05, 2006 12:00AM PST by bambamthepyro
That would be the best song for the game.
Damn subtitlePosted: May 05, 2006 12:00AM PST by vilhelmsmari
That darned subtitle got me excited... I was disappointed to see that The Gods of Heavy Metal are indeed not on that list. :(
Excellent start!Posted: May 05, 2006 12:00AM PST by shadowofomioc
Nice list already. War Pigs is going to be fun to play. Psycobilly Freakout is going to break peoples fingers. Van Halen is plain going to have you banging your head while jamming away at the frets. And come on, Butthole Surfers? Best song yet.
Lukems, you're too nicePosted: May 05, 2006 12:00AM PST by johnny_postman
I agree it's funny as hell that an idiot named "Rockman" could work himself into such a frenzy about a song while at the same time not know that the Kinks originally recorded it 20 years before Van Halen. Maybe it's worth keeping him around for the comedy but the guy was such an a-hole in his post - couldn't you at least smack him around a little more?
VAN HALEN, not the KinksPosted: May 04, 2006 12:00AM PST by Rockman_X
"You Really Got Me" on GH 2 is the original by Van Halen, not the retarded 90210 version by the Kinks. Pretty sure Van Halen were the sick guitarists, not some fruitcake band. I hate the news people on this site. So Busch League. Check your facts you jackass retard fuckfaces.

This article examines the how people construct the meanings they give to pet and similar fish they keep in their personal spaces. It is an ethnographic tour of quotidian epistemology. Because fish are intimately common and yet regarded as being on a par with vegetables as far as animal rights are concerned, they are readily transformed by their owners' imaginations.
"Gender Work in a Feminized Profession: The Case of Veterinary Medicine"
Leslie Irvine and Jenny R. Vermilya
Gender & Society, Volume 24, No. 1 (2010)
Veterinary medicine has undergone dramatic, rapid feminization while in many ways remaining gendered masculine. With women constituting approximately half of its practitioners and nearly 80 percent of students, veterinary medicine is the most feminized of the comparable health professions. Nevertheless, the culture of veterinary medicine glorifies stereotypically masculine actions and attitudes. This article examines how women veterinarians understand the gender dynamics within the profession. The authors' analysis reveals that the discursive strategies available to women sustain and justify the status quo, and thus preserve hegemonic masculinity. Women use strategies previously used toward female tokens in non-traditional jobs, such as role encapsulation, and strategies previously used by male tokens in traditionally female jobs, such as distancing from the feminine. Through this discursive "gender work," women help to maintain the institutionalized inequality and the masculine ethic of the profession. Veterinary medicine illustrates the importance of considering organizational context in studies of feminization.

James William (Bill) Gibson's new book on the cultural reenchantment of nature,
A REENCHANTED WORLD; THE QUEST FOR A NEW KINSHIP WITH NATURE, was recently published by Metropolitan Books/Henry Holt. Much of his work discusses important cultural changes concerning wild animals: symbolic, totemic kinship ties between people and animals are becoming increasing common in film, television, nature writing, disciplines such as conservation biology, and even in newspaper obituaries. Gibson also explores the ways in which animals are now framed as consecrating landscapes(such as the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge), the internal problems of reenchantment, and the religious and political attacks waged against it during the Bush era.

So I disconnected the Ethernet from Logitech command module and then the internet came back. Today again the same problem. So tried to track down this problem. I reconfigured the command module for all cameras. Now they are live and working again. After an hour, again the connection dropped and internet was down. After unplugging, it comes back again. So the problem is with this Logitech alert system. Any solution? I'm using a US Robotics 8200 router

Park is about five miles north of I74. It is surrounded by corn and soy bean fields and is very quiet (except for the drivers on IL49 out front but they are few and far between). There is a train track south of I74 with an occasional passing train that you can hear because it is so very quiet in the park. The Five Bridges refers to the pond between the owners' home and the sites; there are five bridges across it. There are plenty of birds in the trees and shrubs around the pond and we saw a chipmunk a couple of times and heard a bullfrog. Friendly, chatty host drove us to our site and aligned us to it. There was 50A electric and water but no sewer. There was a dump site on the way out. The road gate for the park was locked at dusk but the gate by the owners' house was always open. Had a relaxing, pleasant time. Stayed three nights in a 40' motorhome while I went to my class reunion in Danville. - r.boylan

While I haven't been doing so well the last few weeks, I also feel like it was good time spent learning. Learning about myself.
I'm not 190 or even 210 anymore, so I can't do the things I've done before when I was working out. I have to accept myself the way I am now, and meet myself at the level I'm on and gradually work from there. I know I can do it, that has never been my doubt. It's the journey that can sometimes throw you off. Every journey is different, and since the last few years of my life really threw me off, it makes sense that I am not the same person I was before. I am different, and I have different needs.
One thing I learned is I don't like making myself work out. I want to do something fun. I love to dance, so why not do that? And you tube has a ton of different dance videos. I don't last as long as I do...my endurance and my lung capacity is pretty short. I can do about ten minutes of intense dancing before it hurts to breathe. I have asthma and I know that has a lot to do with it, but I also know from previous experience that I have to keep trying and stay consistent in order for the lung capacity to increase. My lungs my never stop hurting, however, it will take longer for them to hurt if I keep at this.
I realized I do not want to count calories anymore. I want to start listening to myself, to my body's signals that say I am full. I find it rather easy to concentrate on how many servings of vegetables I get in one day than if I have to count all my calories as well. Maybe all of it together is just frustrating but I do know that just incorporating a healthy lifestyle and counting those goals makes me feel better than if I have to keep track of calories. At that point I get overwhelmed, so maybe it's something I will do later. Or maybe focusing on drinking water and eating healthfully and focusing on planning healthy meals (and figuring out how) will be enough to jump start my weight loss. After all, this is about changing long term. And I can tell you I won't count calories forever. But I can change my habits.
I go see the nutritionist today and get weighed. I'm sure the scale hasn't changed. The number is not as important as paying attention to the changes I am making. This is a journey and it might take awhile. It's a lifestyle change and it's worth the time and attention to take it slow and make those changes stick this time. Make it a way of life.

Adam Platt Doesn't Want to Ask You to Turn the Music Down
"New York is a noise pit, anyway."
"I don't want to sound like an old crank, a lot of these restaurants are excellent ... I just had lunch at David Chang's Momofuku Noodle Bar. It was relatively quiet, but at the peak time of lunch hour, it was like trying to eat your lunch inside a wooden Kleenex box." — New York restaurant critic Adam Platt tells Leonard Lopate why, exactly, a new wave of restaurateurs have created a culture where dining rooms keep getting "louder and louder."

Could Abe Honestly Win in Today's Religion-Packed Vote?
Byline: Burt Constable
We are a religion-conscious nation where a photo of Christian Barack Obama in Somali garb, or the use of his middle name of Hussein, can fuel a theological firestorm, or at least provide fodder for talk radio folks.
According to some polls, American voters would never elect a Muslim. Or a Mormon such as Mitt Romney.
Some say John McCain isn't Christian enough. Others say Mike Huckabee is too Christian. Hillary Clinton is Methodist, but when has a candidate ever ridden the Methodist vote to victory?
Since religious affiliation can play an important role in American politics, wouldn't it be great if our next president practices the same religion as great presidents such as Abraham Lincoln or Founding Father Thomas Jefferson?
Uh, what were those guys' religions again?
With the first name of Abraham, Lincoln could have been Jewish. Or Muslim. Or Christian. The White House biography of Honest Abe notes that Lincoln's speeches often mentioned God, but it doesn't list a religion for him. Some scholarly sources list Lincoln's religious preference as "no specific." A few argue that Lincoln was Christian, while others say we can't declare Lincoln a believer in Jesus Christ.
Lincoln sometimes went to a Presbyterian church with his wife, but he wasn't a member. With a vague religious background like that, how did Abe ever get elected?
Jefferson is officially listed as a deist and, as such, discounted all of the miracles in the Bible. He often was accused of being an atheist, and at one point wrote, "I am of a sect by myself."
Wow. Does that sound like a candidate who could beat McCain, Obama or Clinton?
"I think Jefferson would be totally unacceptable to Christians today," says Ron Miller, chair of the Religion Department at Lake Forest College. An author and lecturer, Miller in 1975 helped found Common Ground, a group that seeks interfaith dialogue as well as a better understanding of the world's cultural, religious and spiritual traditions. …

You are invited to join us for the first meeting of the new local chapter of Online News Association (ONA).
Our first program will feature John Clark, director of the Reese Felts Digital News Lab at the University of North Carolina's School of Journalism and Mass Communications. He and his students produced a mobile website this summer -- whichwaync.com -- focusing on North Carolina politics. They created an immersive interactive guide to campaign finance that would take full advantage of mobile browsing—that is to say, users on touch screen devices can swipe and tap their way, bit by bit, through the whole package. Find out how they did it -- and the importance of thinking digitally first.
The meeting will be hosted by The News & Observer at 215 S. McDowell Street, Raleigh, NC 27601 in the McDaniels Conference room on Wednesday, Sept. 12 from 7-9 p.m. Free parking will be available on site in the company lot at the corner of Martin and Hargett Streets (right next to the N&O building). After you park, enter the building and someone will get you to the conference room. Light refreshments will be served.
Off to a good start!

On Wednesday, Origin – which is building a $23 billion liquefied natural gas venture in Queensland – again ruled out an equity raising, however. It also said that it did not intend to exercise a right to redeem the securities early.
The review by S&P affected $3.6 billion of hybrids in total, including those issued by Santos, AGL Energy and Tabcorp, and the results have left the companies reassessing their balance sheets.
All the hybrids had originally been classified as 100 per cent equity by S&P, but after a six-month review, the ratings agency has altered that assessment.
Origin's securities are regarded now as only half equity, while the rest is seen as debt for credit analysis.
The same has occurred with hybrids issued by
Morningstar analyst Gareth James said the 50 per cent equity credit result for Origin was a positive, given some worries in the market that it could also have been cut to zero.
"The risk was that if they received a zero per cent equity content rating for the hybrid they would be at risk of a further downgrade," Mr James said.
"There could then be a knock-on effect in that the interest cost on their other debt would go up and the collateral they have to post in the national electricity market would go up," sparking concerns that Origin would be forced into an equity raising, he said.
Origin's available funds and strong cash flow from its core business meant Mr James had no fear about its ability to fund the Australia Pacific LNG venture.
Deutsche Bank energy analyst John Hirjee agreed. He said the costs of APLNG would need to blow out by a massive 33 per cent to exceed Origin's funding headroom.
Origin is considering a bond issue in Europe but that would be used to refinance existing debt and was not related to the hybrid issue, said a spokeswoman.
S&P confirmed on Wednesday that Origin's BBB rating, which was only recently downgraded from BBB+, has not been affected by the hybrid change.
However, Santos has had its BBB+ rating placed on CreditWatch negative while
Origin rating unaffected
The change in the treatment of the securities has given the companies the right to redeem the securities early.
But Santos chief financial officer
Santos would have to pay between €250 million and €280 million ($306 million to $343 million) in a "make whole" payment to redeem its €1 billion of hybrids before their maturity.
As it is, the securities just "go from being cheap equity to expensive debt", Mr Seaton said. "It certainly wasn't our preferred outcome but it doesn't set off any need for further action by us," he said, describing the retrospective action by S&P as"unprecedented".
Santos had $5.8 billion in cash and undrawn debt as of December 31.
Mr Seaton said that once cash flows started from the Papua New Guinea LNG venture next year, Santos would look at raising its dividend again. But the hybrids review itself would not trigger any capital management measures.
AGL has "no plans" to redeem its $650 million of subordinated notes issued last February to help fund the full takeover of the Loy Yang power plant .
Tabcorp chief financial officer
"The 50 per cent equity credit attached to the notes is valuable to Tabcorp, as are their key features."
Mr Johnston said the margin associated with the notes, of over 4 per cent a year, compared favourably with other corporates that achieved 50 per cent equity credit – for example, Crown at over 5 per cent.
S&P defended the change in treatment of the hybrids amid the criticism from the companies.
"We continually reassess our ratings methodologies, adopting changes as needed, including to respond to changing market conditions and behaviours," an S&P spokesman said.

Save The Sunderban campaing is continued-Uttarpara, Kolata on 20 Dec 09.
Control Global Warming, Save the Sunderban Rally
Sundarban, the delta of the river Ganges in the south 24 paraganas of West Bengal state in India is one of the wonders on earth. A lush green forest of mangroves with its natural inhabitant, the well-known Royal Bengal tiger, made it attractive, curious and famous. Due to Pollution and global warming the delta is submerging slowly into the Bay of Bengal. Hence, the existence of this delta and its habitants are in great danger. Mukti along with Government of West Bengal has taken some steps to make awareness in people regarding this threat.
Project Purpose/Goal
We are trying to raise the awareness at impact (community) level in rural settings as the bio-diversity hotspot rather than the effect level (climate change agents). Climate change intervention should be started from community level empowering community people rather than the effect level (who are causing global warming). We believe working with community could at least influence people to change behaviors to avoid non-climate practices.
Project Details
According to WWF study rise of 28 centimeter in sea levels is enough to wash the World Heritage Mangrove forest Sunderban and its habitants. And it wont take more that 50 to 90 years for this disaster to take place if Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) estimation of sea level rise is taken into consideration.
The FactClimate change caused by global warming to be twofold increasing concentration of green house gases resulted from human activity e.g. fossil fuel burning and deforestation and global dimming resulted from increasing concentration of atmospheric aerosols.
Developed nations have to realise they must cut carbon emissions. It's the people of Sunderbans who are payingthe price for no reason.
Climate Change predicts that extreme weather, along with just a 45 cm rise in sea level would submerge 75 percent of the Sunderbans.
Climate and Energy expert said "the sinking Sunderban islands are one of the first climate hotspots in India. It sets a precedent for the impacts of sea level rise which poor populations in low lying coastal India will face in coming. Increased displacement of people due to loss of habitation and land will increase India's count of climate refugees and add to the burden of poverty under which we are already reeling. At this critical juncture where we only have eight years to act, strong and time bound mitigation measures must accompany measures for adaptation".

Visa about to Strike Big-League Sponsorship Deal
Coulton, Antoinette, American Banker
Visa probably won't make the Opening Day lineup, but its pitch to become Major League Baseball's official card brand is likely to succeed.
San Francisco-based Visa U.S.A. has been talking with baseball officials since last fall, and although sources say a deal is near, the two parties do not expect to sign a sponsorship agreement before the season begins on April 1.
Major League Baseball has not had an official credit card sponsor since 1991, when its alliance with MasterCard International ended. James Andrews, vice president of IEG Sponsorship Report, a Chicago newsletter, said Visa would pay $25 million to $50 million to become the official card brand.
At the same time, MBNA Corp. is waiting in the wings, prepared to sign a deal with the league to issue a Major League Baseball credit card.
Baseball is the only major professional sport that doesn't have a card sponsorship agreement with Visa, MasterCard, or American Express Co. Visa appears to be the lone bidder.
The appeal for Visa and MBNA is clear: Professional baseball is big business. In 1996, attendance at major league games was nearly 60 million representing about $720 million in ticket sales, said Major League Baseball spokesman Ricky Clemons.
What's more, fans are big spenders when it comes to Major League Baseball merchandise. Financial World magazine pegged total merchandising and licensing receipts for the 1995 season at $61 million.
"If Visa gets this deal, they will have the edge in league sponsorships -football and baseball are the sports that Americans follow," said James L. Accomando, president, Accomando Consulting Inc., in Fairfied, Conn.
The run on major professional sports sponsorship deals began in 1995, when Visa hooked up with the National Football League. MBNA kept pace with Visa when it won the right to issue Visa's official NFL card.
American Express netted a National Basketball Association sponsorship in 1995, while MasterCard International cornered the National Hockey League. A year later, Purchase, N.Y.-based MasterCard announced sponsorships of Major League Soccer and the Professional Golfers Association tour. …

HAYMARKET, Va. (WJLA) - Gloria Ferraiuolo lives in a place most consider to be safe: Haymarket's massive Dominion Valley development, aimed at folks 55 and over. In order to get to it, one has to drive through a gate
"It's an adult active community," she says.
Yet despite the security, residents recently realized that someone was repeatedly stealing cash, checks, and gift cards out of their mail slots.
"It's kind of disturbing to think you can't mail something in your own building," says Gloria, who adds that the thief targeted her a number of times over the last few years - stealing both checks and cash.
"I sent a couple of $50 gift cards for Christmas to California that never got there," she says.
She says one year, her grandson thought she'd forgotten to send him any money for his birthday, and another year her son thought she'd forgotten his birthday altogether.
"I never forget his birthday," she says. "And he didn't say anything, so I asked him, 'Did you get my card? No, I didn't get it.'"
According to court documents, Robert Bell is the culprit who stole items from four separate condo buildings with 18 units each over the course of nearly three years.
A postal inspector set up a hidden camera, and in August on five separate occasions, it allegedly showed the newspaper delivery man entering this room and breaking his way into the mail slot.
The value of what was stolen? Nearly $100,000!
"Now I don't do any cash anymore or gift cards in the envelopes," says Gloria.

I shot my first deer ever this fall, after hunting hard for 2 years without success. I had a big buck come check my stand a week earlier while i was in the tree, but after he didn't smell any does he took off before i got a shot. I immediatly got a hold of this tinks 68 doe-in-rut and sure enough, he came in again, did the exact same thing as before, only this time he kept coming, looking for that hot doe. Stopped him and dropped him in his tracks. 211 pound canadian 8 point. This. Stuff. Works.

Put 2 bottles of Tinks down in perimeter spots 40 yds out from my stand yesteday early. Within 90 min had a 3 yr buck come "Looking for love in all the wrong places..." - from his standpoint that is. He's pretty quiet about it all now, resting nicely in my freezer. Other hunting buddies nearby didn't see a thing. Use Tinks #69 - it works!
Greatest product ever!

Thanks for another good rut 2012 with Tinks 69 central Ga. For the past 4 seasons I have harvested my buck with his nose in a sent pad drenched in Tinks 69. I will not hunt the rut without it. Yes I have tried other scents in the past without success. Hunter don't forget there is more to it than just sent attractant #1 control your sent #2 location #3 Tinks 69 the 3 ingredients to a successful rut
Good hunting my friend

Just yesterday I killed a management Buck on a field in Clay county West Virginia when it had been shot at about 5 mins before I killed it. It ran into the field and was about to exit when it ran into the trail that I had pulled tinks 69 through then it made a b line right towards me and then stopped right were I hung the drag in the tree and that's when I made my shot

I have used Tinks on and off for 25 years, every year I get more and more dissapointed
I'm sure it will work on a deer farm, but I hunt true wild deer, not the ones that have been had acres of plot
grown for them and had numerous non threating human contact, vehicles driving by
snapping pictures of them like it was a Hollywood Photo
Shoot. I'm hoping that maybe I'll get to at least lure one buck in my sights, of course its been so long, I probably have forgotten how to shoot. I'm going to give it one more try this season.

Why should I buy this off of you at 11.95 a bottle when I can go to Wal Mart and get it for 5.95 a bottle? DAAAAA!

I have killed two big bucks using your product. It works unlike anything else during the rut. I have seen so many bucks from this product. I would use this during the rut if you get a chance.

Great value for the money

About Me Casual/ Recreational
Comments about Nashbar Tempo Wireless Bike Computer:
I previously owned an expensive computer and found that replacement parts for my Cateye cost almost as much as 3 of these Nashbars which has nearly the same features.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

About Me Avid Cyclist
Did not work as received ... it could not enter set up mode. Returned for a no hassle refund.Thank you Nashbar
By NJgreyhead
from Southern NJ
Easy to clear data before starting a new ride.Easy to switch head unit between bikes (after purchasing reasonably priced additional mounting/sending unit).Good price for wireless if you don't need cadence info.
Good buy!
By The Iguana
from Mifflin, TN
This is my second one, a dog encounter = crash, never found first unit. I like the metric mode, gives my brain something to do while riding. Maybe I shouldn't convert so much and watch out for the dogs more. Love the wireless feature, seems to be very forgiving as to position. Also, easy to remove, Just a simple twist, or hit a dog and pavement.
I would but this product again

Oh not so GOOd
By Rudy
from Upstate NY
Don't know if its just this computer or not. Followed the directions to a "tee" Maybe someone from Nashbar can explain. I cant get it to read out the cumulative miles logged. When it wants me to set up a wheel size it wants me to go to the "ODO" area. I follow the directions as they are written but my cumulative miles are the entered wheel size. I know I'm not the brightest light in the store. Have programmed this over and over and well its USELESS for cumulative miles. If you just want to log your miles from every time you ride and add them up that's great. But you sell this as a computer that gives you total miles. Maybe that can be explained to me because I cant get that function to work as you claim it does. On the positive side the rest of it works well. Once again on the negative side its surely not a durable product. From my experience I couldn't recommend this product to anyone.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Basic, simple, bargain.
By VaDave
from Purcellville, VA
See all my reviews
Basic, simple, a bargain. I've put 2,500 miles on two bikes in the past 2 years using the same Tempo and so far not a single issue. I recently picked up a second one so there's no need to switch between bikes. Pick one up for 20-25% off (second bike kits are $10), how can you beat this deal if you're looking for a basic computer (without cadence)?
Great product at the right price
By Why not

Easy installation and set up.
Easy to Program
By Spinaker
Purchased to replace another brand that was unreliable. This was easy to install, program and use. Great value for the money.
Favorite lo-cost wireless
By DrDave
from Auburn, CA
Self-starts every time, and so easy to reset at daylight-savings time. I wish all computers worked like this.My Cateye Micro is nice, but this one is simpler to use and costs about half.

Wine of the WeekPosted by Fredric Koeppel under Grenache , Spain , Wine of the Week
1 Comment
Tres Ojos Garnacha is one of the world's great wine bargains. Produced by the cooperative Bodega San Gregorio, founded in 1965 in the Calatayud wine region in Spain's province of Aragon, this wine consistently offers lots of pleasure and surprising depth of character for the price. Tres Ojos — "three eyes" — Garnacha 2011 is a blend of 85 percent garnacha (grenache) grapes, seven percent each cabernet sauvignon and tempranillo and one percent syrah; made all in stainless steel, it sees no oak, The color is deep ruby with a mulberry tinge; first your nose picks up notes of tar, black olives, smoked tea, followed by scents of spiced and macerated blackberries, blueberries and plums, the whole effect having a slight balsamic cast. Plenty of grip keeps dusty tannins on the palate in support of dense black and blue fruit flavors permeated by hints of bitter chocolate, lavender and graphite; vibrant acidity keep the wine alert and lively. 14.5 percent alcohol. Drink now through 2015 with grilled leg of lamb, braised short ribs, hearty stews. Very Good+. About $10, so Buy by the Case.

Prominent church leaders and HIV/AIDS experts agreed Tuesday that partnerships among different sectors of society is the best way forward in the battle against history's deadliest disease.
"After 25 years, HIV is still a new disease, and we need new strategies, tools and programs," said Dr. Agnes Binagwaho, executive secretary of the National AIDS Control Commission of Rwanda, at a panel discussion for the XVII International AIDS Conference.
"This is all about partnership, and if we partner it is because we are different, not because we are the same." more >>
The faith community will continue to advocate for the lifting of travel restrictions on people living with HIV until the rule is removed worldwide, vowed religious leaders at the 17th International AIDS Conference.
"For both the ELCA (Evangelical Lutheran Church in America) and the Lutheran World Federation this (travel restrictions on HIV+ people) is both an issue of faith and of human rights," said the Rev. Mark S. Hanson, presiding bishop of ELCA and president of LWF on Monday.
"As a religious leader, I am convinced that lifting discriminatory travel restrictions is a responsible act of justice and mercy. Most of those restrictions are born out of fear and ignorance," Hanson said. more >>
Religious leaders at a summit ahead of the 17th International AIDS Conference urged congregations worldwide to tackle HIV/AIDS not only with physical care, but also mentally by removing the stigma that the Church had helped create.
HIV-positive religious leaders at the inaugural summit of Religious Leaders Living with HIV on Sunday asserted that church leaders are the hope for changing how communities view people with HIV, according to Ecumenical Advocacy Alliance.
"I believe that God can use HIV to heal the church," said the Rev. J.P. Heath, acting executive director of International Network of Religious Leaders Living with or Personally Affected by HIV and AIDS (INERELA+), which sponsored the summit on Sunday. more >>
WASHINGTON - President Bush signed legislation Wednesday that triples U.S. funding to fight AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis around the world.
The five-year, $48 billion plan renews a program credited with saving millions of lives in Africa alone and is widely seen as one of the major achievements of the Bush presidency.
Bush said the program, launched by him in 2003, "is the largest commitment by any nation to combat a single disease in human history." more >>
The U.S. Senate voted Thursday evening to re-authorize the multi-billion-dollar President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) bill that would help prevent contraction of HIV in Africa while providing treatment to the millions of people who are already infected.
Over the course of five years, the $48 billion PEPFAR legislation aims to prevent 12 million HIV infections and treat 3 million people. It will also provide funding for tuberculosis and malaria responses.
"We commend the lawmakers who have come together on a bi-partisan, comprehensive agreement on the Global AIDS, TB and Malaria Bill providing a much-needed increase in U.S. assistance to address the needs of millions of orphans and vulnerable children affected by these epidemics," said Robert Zachritz, World Vision's director of advocacy and government relations in the United States. more >>
Pro-family advocates and critics around the world expressed strong opposition this week after news spread that the nation of Brazil would begin a large scale effort to combat the spread of AIDS and STDs through the installation of condom vending machines in hundreds of its schools.
According to Health Minister Jose Gomes Temporao, AIDS is a major problem among Brazilian youth with an alarming 70,000 cases of AIDS reported among Brazilians under 24.
Eduardo Barbosa, head of the National Program for Sexually Transmitted Diseases and AIDS, had explained the new development as one that would be crucial in combating AIDS and STDs. more >>

We teach two software packages, R and SPSS, in Quantitative Methods 101 for psychology freshman at Bremen University (Germany).

Today I stumbled across a figure in an explanation on multiple factor analysis which contained pictograms.
Figure 1 from Abdi & Valentin (2007), p. 8.
I wanted to reproduce a similar figure in R using pictograms and additionally color them e.g. by group membership . I have almost no knowledge about image processing, so I tried out several methods of how to achieve what I want. The first thing I did was read in an PNG file and look at the data structure. The package png allows to read in PNG files. Note that all of the below may not work on Windows machines, as it does not support semi-transparency (see ?readPNG).

After some time of using shiny I got to the point where I needed to send some arbitrary data from the client to the server, process it with R and return some other data to the client. As a client/server programming newbie this was a challenge for me as I did not want to dive too deep into the world of web programming. I wanted to get the job done using shiny and preferably as little JS/PHP etc. scripting as possible. Continue reading 'Sending data from client to server and back using shiny'

I recently wanted to construe a dashboard widget that contains some text and other elements using the grid graphics system. The size available for the widget will vary. When the sizes for the elements of the grobs in the widget are specified as Normalised Parent Coordinates the size adjustments happen automatically. Text does not automatically adjust though. The size of the text which is calculated as fontsize times the character expansion factor (cex) remains the same when the viewport size changes. For my widget this would require to adjust the fontsize or cex settings for each case seperately. While this is not really an obstacle, I asked myself how a grob that will adjust its text size automatically when being resized can be construed. Here I jot down my results in the hope that you may find this useful. Continue reading 'Creating a text grob that automatically adjusts to viewport size'

Below is a real-time audio-visual multimedia demonstration – or in short 'an intro' – written in 100% pure R. It requires no compilation and runs across major platforms via the package rdyncall and preinstalled precompiled standard libraries such as OpenGL and SDL libraries. This 'happy-birthday' production runs about 3 minutes and comprises typical effects of the home computer oldschool demoscene era such as a rotating cube, multi-layer star field, text scrollers, still images and flashes while playing a nice Amiga Soundtracker module tune. Check out the video screen-cast (with sound) or enjoy a smooth framerate using the R version at this website.

i love how you added the aqua tones to her face, and the jellyfish, oh the jellyfish!!
Beautiful, colour tone and texture are perfect
The colour tone and texture is perfect
Oh, really? Thank you!
This is incredible! A superb work of art - you are so talented
very nice colours
wow! it's incredible. perfect!!
ОЧЕНЬ красиво. А еще это ее взгляд... ну просто чудо
Спасибо. Вы не представляете КАК я польщена. Я считаю эту картину пока лучшей из того что я делала. И я благодарна за то, что она вам нравится.
i like the way you added the gills, most people don't do that!
Great expression
Beautiful work
wow! very beautiful, loved the coloring especially the eyes and hair
Really? You think so? Do you like green?
Yeah I do, it's believed that Nymph comes also from the rivers, but seeming that you have a shell, you might have drawn her in the ocean, but both ocean and rivers have green areas due to plants, algae and moss, so I think it suits with Nymph very well, especially because you worked the most with green only
Wow, I absolutely love the colour palette you used. Great job!

Away from home, heavy training week, having problems with my PT.
Spun the crank, woke the computer planning to zero the torque, no signal from the hub. I have changed the batteries recently in the hub.
But wait, the computer is showing all kinds of weird data -- speed 48mph, ride time keeps running, watts flashing random numbers. I figure it's the computer and change the battery. Nothing changes.
I muscle open the hub (wrench 500mi away at home) and replace those batteries. Nothing changes.
I'm also not getting HR as an option when I scroll through the menu.
Any guesses for a miserable boy?

Re: I'll add some
I would like the video to match or beat the video coming from the canon dslrs.
Clearly it can be done, but its being limited.
The GH1 has some pretty impressive video already .. but the low bitrate and the weird 60i wrapper is just garbage.
Well, I don't think Panasonic was positioning the GH1 for pro video. I agree that a higher bitrate would be really nice. And while a native 24p at 1080 would be nice, you can convert the 1080p GH1 files to that with a bit of $40 software.
I'm patient though so I shall wait for the GH2 or whatever to deliver!
I think that's the smart attitude. The GH1 is what it is. If they improve it, great. Just don't hold your breath.

Enumerated dead bodies of the blood brothers
To the place which is farther than this place
A long way off
Make the road which follows our glorious life
Even if holy sacrifice is necessary
* The weight brought sorrow to us
When I held their bodies
The weight brought regret to us
When I saw the fact
We work without ever doubting the present conditions
To the place which is farther than this place
A long way off
The crowd of people are walking the road holding their
Dearest people alraedy lost their temperature
** For what the road is
For whom the sweat is
I cannot wipe the doubt out
Praying is the only way we can go
The pain is getting worse
We don' know whether our future is so glorious or not
But we know there is no exit
