Are you constantly being invited by the real estate developers to come and procure some land or property on the Dwarka Gurgaon Expressway? Well, if your answer to this question is an affirmative Yes, then why don't you go ahead the make some original bookings there. Currently, the entire capital is seeking the completion of this Dwarka Gurgaon Expressway, which will undoubtedly bring a wave of revolution in the real estate sector, and that is what property gurus and experts also believe. Undoubtedly, the Dwarka Gurgaon expressway is the hot topic of the town and the best thing about this expressway cum highway is its surrounding sectors that have already been undertaken by the real estate developers. The builder projects at the around the Dwarka Gurgaon Expressway are currently being handled by the prominent builders and real estate developers that are promising the people to turn the Dwarka Expressway into an exclusive destination where people will crave to purchase a property in the future. And that situation isn't too far from the reality.If we talk about the current scenario, then the Haryana Urban Development Authority (HUDA), has already released its tenders and appointed the builders for the development of the Dwarka Gurgaon expressway and the adjoining sectors like 37D, 83, 84, 88, 99, 100, 101, 102, 102A, 103, 104, 105, 106, 109, 110, 110 A, 111, 112, and 113, which will emerge as prominent sectors in the near future. Lately, the 18 kilometres long and 150 meter wide Expressway was in the news because of several pending litigations from both residents and industrialists who have their plots coming in the alignment of the road, however, now all the litigations have been removed and the Dwarka Gurgaon Expressway and related sectors are now free from all the legal tangles. The remaining 5.5 kilometres land, which was also considered "still under litigation in bits and pieces." Is also free from all the litigations and there is nothing pending at present. Also, there was a fallacy in the minds of the experts that the maximum land under litigation is in the New Palam Vihar area while remaining pieces are spread across sectors like 100, 102,103, amongst others, which isn't true at all. Now, there is no land or piece near the Dwarka Gurgaon Expressway, which is under any sort of litigation or legal allegation. And in this respect, HUDA officials have already received the clean chit from the legal authorities. In contrast, the experts also believe that the NPR will decongest the Delhi-Gurgaon Expressway, particularly near Delhi-Gurgaon boarder toll plaza, which has already witnessed the higher-than-expected traffic volume growth recently, but this isn't true because the Dwarka Gurgaon Expressway will have its own route, which commuters will use to travel from Dwarka to Gurgaon, and further to Manesar.Already, the sectors that are enclosing the Dwarka Gurgaon Expressway have been flooded by the top most builders in the real estate sectors, who are also focusing on the new projects in Gurgaon. But here, at the Dwarka Gurgaon Expressway, real estate companies have already started their big projects and few of them are already sold out and available for the reselling, which are Vedas, Atharva by Raheja, The Edge Towers, and The View, The Atrium by Ramaprastha and Spacio Park Serene & Amstoria by BPTP. On the contrary, the new projects lately launched are The Skyz by Ramaprastha, Enigma by India Bulls, Land Mark by Era, Estella by Ansal Siddhartha, Clarion by Satya Group, Lumbini Terrace Homes by Brisk, Spire Central by Spire World, Capital Gateway by Tashee, Earth Town 2 by Earth Infrastructure and The Residency by LandMark. In addition, there is a full-fledged township coming up by EMAAR MGF where healthy and green environment will be made available to the residents and property investors. In the recent past, Haryana Urban Development Authority (HUDA) has also proposed the 18 kilometres long metro corridor that will exactly be located over the Dwarka Gurgaon Expressway. Gradually, Dwarka Gurgaon Expressway is emerging as a heaven for the residential and commercial property purchasers who are even purchasing lands under the new projects in Gurgaon. And certainly, the overall project of the Dwarka Gurgaon Expressway will amaze the people in the capital, once it's finalized by the related authorities and developers.

Huntingburg, Indiana, native Danielle Lee has released a music video in hopes of catching the attention of country star Kip Moore. The video has racked up over one hundred views since its premiere on Saturday, March 29.
Danielle Lee, a singer-songwriter, released her self-titled debut EP in late 2013. She frequently visits Nashville, Tennessee, to write with Music City's elite tunesmiths. The budding songstress is particularly influenced by "Young Love" singer Kip Moore.
"From a songwriting standpoint, his songs talk about everyday love and life, but he does it in a way nobody ever thinks of. His voice portrays his emotions so well, and that's what I hope to someday achieve. He's a good person to look up to," Danielle says of Kip Moore.
In an effort to cross paths with the country hit maker, Danielle has crafted a music video featuring a response to Kip's chart-topping smash, "Hey Pretty Girl." Danielle hopes that Kip will extend an invitation to meet him at his show next week with Lady Antebellum at The Ford Center in Evansville, Indiana.
"Being an aspiring singer and working hard to make my way through Nashville, I'd love to meet with him, write with him, and get some advice from him about songwriting, performance, and audience connection. Even if it is just a few seconds with him to say I appreciate his work or ask one question; I know he's a busy guy and I respect that," Danielle stated.
The video "Hey Kip Moore" may be viewed on Danielle Lee's YouTube channel here. For up-to-date news, follow Danielle on Facebook and Twitter. Visit www.DanielleLeeMusic.com for a bio, tour dates, and music.

The City of St. Augustine hosted more than a hundred members of the Florida Industrial Pretreatment Association (FIPA) in late April for a week long program of facility tours, classes and workshops.
The FIPA, an organization for individuals who work in or are associated with the industrial pretreatment profession which includes the removal, reduction, or alteration of pollutants in industrial wastewater prior to discharge or introduction into a domestic wastewater treatment facility.
The group, which meets twice a year, had an intensive program agenda that included classes on industrial pretreatment, oil and grease management, a variety of workshops and a tour of the city's wastewater treatment plant.
The group's program was assembled and hosted by Glabra Skipp, the city's Environmental Compliance Analyst, a FIPA board member and North Florida Coordinator for the organization. It was in that capacity that she had the responsibility of developing the group's agenda.
Of particular interest to the group was a tour of the wastewater treatment plant and its pioneering method of treatment involving a peracetic acid system. St. Augustine's wastewater treatment plant is the only one in the nation using the system, and so it is not surprising that a tour was of great interest.
Skipp gave a presentation on the peracetic acid system at last fall's FIPA meeting and the tour was used as a continuation of that presentation. It proved to be very popular with representatives from across the state attending including those from Hillsborough County, Ft. Lauderdale, Polk County, Clearwater, West Palm Beach and Largo.
This is not the first interest shown by the wastewater industry in this process as many are searching for alternatives to traditional chlorine disinfection and are turning to the City of St. Augustine to learn more resulting in tours of the facility being given to other professionals and answering inquiries from other utilities across the county.
For more information, contact the Public Works Department at 904.825.1040.

When putting together a cheese plate or a special hors d'oeuvres plate for company or yourself, it's tantalizing to have some unexpected flavors. Not many people are familiar with sheep cheese, or they think it's only available from Europe. That's why I was happy to be hosted to by Green Dirt Farm to experience their sensational -- in all the meanings of the word -- sheep cheeses and yogurt!
Fortunately for us, this award-winning Missouri cheesemaker sells products online. Here's some information about their farming practices:
We do not use synthetic chemicals, hormones or unnecessary antibiotics. We use antibiotics only when necessary to treat sick animals. We never use sub-therapeutic doses of antibiotics or other growth promoters.
We don't use pesticides or herbicides on our pastures.
We practice management-intensive grazing by moving our animals to new pastures every 24 hours. This practice means our sheep receive the best nutrition possible. In addition, soil fertility is constantly improved and soil erosion is virtually eliminated. We are firmly committed to the idea that a foundation of healthy soil is the key to growing nutritious grass, happy animals, and satisfied customers.
Their Just Plain Sheep's Milk Yogurt is made from the milk of grass-fed ewes. It's tangier and more liquid than commercial cow's milk yogurt that sometimes even has gelatin added for consistency. It still has a rich mouth feel, though. I added some Crown Maple syrup, which has a better mixing texture than honey. That was a great snack!
Their Fresh Cheeses come in several flavors. They have a creamy, yet slight crumble, to their texture. Their base flavors are mild and have a richness to them. Nettle is an unusual herb for food seasoning; I first learned about it many years ago in a nutritional book I read. It's supposed to be good for hair! At any rate, it has a bit of a green onion mixed with parsley flavor. Great on crackers! Garlic and Peppercorn is mild enough to be still social, with the peppercorn giving a noticeable bite.
This is how they describe Dirt Lover:
(It's) styled after classic ash-dusted French farmhouse cheeses like Selles-sur-Cher and Valençay. It has an edible white bloomy rind that reveals an underlying layer of vegetable ash. When cut, it shows a lovely black border created by the ash just under the white rind. This ring, and our love of the soil, is the inspiration behind the name.
It's in a timbale shape, with thin ash layer. It's a softer white cheese, with edible, powdery rind. It looks a little like a Morbier cheese. It has a clean, buttery flavor, quite accessible.
If you check out the cheese carts at the finest restaurants, nowadays, they almost always feature a Tomme cheese. According to Cheese.com, "Tomme is a generic term for a group of cheeses produced mainly in the French Alps and in Switzerland. Usually, Tommes are cheeses produced from skimmed milk after the cream has been removed to make butter and full cream cheeses. Consequently, they are low in fat." Green Dirt Farm's Prairie Tomme has a firm rind. I ate it; it's spicy and very grassy. The ivory/yellow cheese is firm, cut in wedges from a circle. It's got a slightly sweet, nutty flavor. The sheep flavor gets more pronounced as you continue holding it in your mouth.

Who is the Warrior Poet?
Who is the warrior poet? A great romance hero archetype. We adore his various permutations, shapes, and sizes and spend a good part of our creative time with him!
His roots are in the Irish Fianna, an ancient society of professional protectors of the poor and voiceless. A man was not taken into this society until he not only proved himself in battle but also was a prime poet. In his trials he had to run through a gauntlet of nine fellow soldiers in Ireland's woods. His weapons could not quiver in his hand, nor could he crack a dry stick underfoot, or disturb a hair out of its braiding. This guy had to have finesse!
Mary Jo, Susan, and I see our heroes coming out of this tradition. They're crusty on the outside but sweet and balanced on the inside. We call them our M&M men. We'd like to make a case that the crusty, sweet-centered hero has a long and honorable tradition in literature and myth.
From legend and lore, out steps larger than life Robin Hood, King Arthur, Ossian, St. George (who, after slaying that dragon, helped in the birth of his children), Bevis of Hampton, and Guy of Warwick (who wandered in the desert for years rather than dishonor his lady love, though Susan forgets why!).
The heroes of Shakespeare's comedies qualify, as does Romeo, but not Hamlet or MacBeth (out of balance guys!). So do the Scarlet Pimpernel and Ivanhoe and Scaramoche. Jane Austen abounds in them, from proud Mr. Darcy to the tortured, loving suitor of the sensual Miss Dashwood in Sense and Sensibility. The Bronte sisters sport one (Rochester of Jane Eyre) and another who's a different archetype: alpha (Heathcliff in Wuthering Heights).
The Warrior Poet is everywhere. He's a favorite subject of the Pre- Raphaelite painters and Victorian "every picture tells a story" genre painting. Songs like Geordie and Reefs of Rye, When a Man's In Love and Anachie Gordon have celebrated him for centuries. He can be found in literature of genres besides romance, too. Try the balanced and decent policemen in Tony Hillerman's mysteries or Dave Robicheaux in James Lee Burke's tales. Who could forget the cheerful Australian POW Joe Harman in Nevil Shute's A Town Like Alice?
And from Hollywood? Well, don't look to most of the heroes portrayed by Arnold Swartzenegger and Clint Eastwood, or the various Agent 007s or Rambos. What do they lack? Complexity. Growth, richness, emotional and spiritual substance. Balance. Some shining Warrior Poets spring from Harrison Ford in Witness, Star Wars, and Air Force One, Keanu Reeves in Speed, Daniel Day Lewis in The Last of the Mohicans, Mel Gibson in Ransom and Braveheart, Liam Neeson in Rob Roy, and Kevin Cosner's Lt. Dunbar in Dances With Wolves.
So now that we know where to find him. . .who is he?
Who Raised This Guy?
The Warrior Poet is the kind of hero who might very well have deep dark secrets in his past causing emotional burdens. He may be a tortured soul filled with anger, fear, and the grief of tragedy in his life, but he's also had a time of unconditional love, so he knows how to give and receive it. It may come from strong feminine influences like the aunts and mothers and grandmothers who inhabit the heroes' childhood in Susan and my books. Or it may take a different tack, as in May Jo's Fallen Angel series. Her men come from an amazing variety of dysfunctional families, but band together in boarding school to give each other the love and support crucial to the emotional health of all (and their wonderful books!).
Now, Mary Jo is fond of saying that heroes can either torture themselves or the heroine, and she much prefers they torture themselves! Even when he hits bottom and keeps his pain to himself, he's never truly cruel - that's just not in our guys.
But violence and sacrifice on behalf of others? That's a different story. . . Stay tuned for the next installment!
Who is the Warrior Poet?
Who is the Warrior Poet? A great hero archetype, who we also call our M&M Man (crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside). In the last installment we discussed his current manifestations in popular culture and literature, as well as his roots in the Irish Fianna, robber outlaws, St. George, and the Arthurian cycles. We talked about his past - who raised him, and strong feminine influences that caused him to experience the great balancing effects of unconditional love. Let's bring him up to the present now, into the world of our stories.
Mary Jo believes that the hero is the most crucial part of a romance, the "linchpin that holds the story together." He has to be the man the readers fall in love with, of course. But he also sets the tone for the book. In her own books, Mary Jo finds that a humorous hero will make a more humorous book, that a dark brooding type will cast his cloud over the tone. I find this very true in her Fallen Angels series of seven books ("quite enough for a trilogy!" Mary Jo insists). River of Fire has the artistic passion of its protagonist, a plain, forthright hero who finds himself drawn toward the incongruous task of wielding a paintbrush as deftly as he wielded his sword in battle. Shattered Rainbow's angst is as palpable as conflicted, tormented Michael's torment in both love and war.
The Hero's Light Past:
It's difficult to make the alpha hero (who in real life is a bullying jerk, according to Mary Jo) believable as a hero. He spends the book chewing up scenery and sometimes the heroine, only to "reform" at the end and decide he's enamored of her. This is not always convincing to the reader. The Warrior Poet doesn't need to reform. He's more complex, more balanced to begin with. Pain is part of conflict in romances. The Warrior Poet usually does not torture the heroine, but he often tortures himself. There is darkness in this hero. Our job as writers is to make it fascinating in the way it's expressed. Out of his dark past he draws from that time he was able to give and receive love. It will be the catalyst that restores health and moves the story to the satisfying conclusion we all as readers love.
The Hero's Dark Present:
If the hero has known warmth in his past, it figures he's craving warmth now, in the dark night of our story's soul. That's where our intrepid heroine comes in, of course! He sees the healing power of the heroine and struggles toward it. The more clearly we can show our hero's pain, the more our reader will forgive him his missteps along the way. If we understand the reasons the hero is behaving badly, Mary Jo asserts, we can get away with a lot. No one does this better than Dorothy Dunnett, she asserts. In the six novels of her recently reissued Lymond Chronicles, the 16th century Scottish "hero to end all heroes" (Dunnett's stated objective)does things Mary Jo describes as "utterly terrible" and yet never without motivation. It's motivation that Lady Dunnett makes clear even without going into the hero's point of view, as most modern romance writers now feel free to do. So torture away, but remember that good, clear motivation is the key to success here.
An essential component of heroism is sacrifice. Mary Jo uses these examples: surviving an escape from a terrorist attack-that's lucky. Going into a burning building to save a child-that's heroic. And much can be forgiven a person who has this kind of courage, who is willing to sacrifice his own life for another. This often means battle, and battle entails violence. The Warrior Poet, either modern or historical, does not seek out violence, but when it's an unavoidable part of the defending himself and others, he's good at it. Whether in Susan's 14th or 16th century Scotland, Mary Jo's Napoleonic Era England or my 19th century America, our heroes don't kill lightly, but neither do they shirk. Remember the poster of Hawkeye from the film The Last of the Mohicans? It shows an utterly mobilized hero willing to risk all to find and protect Cora in the heat of battle. A powerful image! In contemporary settings, this passion can be seated in the hero's profession of fireman, police officer, FBI operator, but can also stem from plain, competent courage in the face of teaching in a ghetto school or being an honest accountant.
Warrior Poets are connected. They have that security buried in their pasts, but sometimes it's also very much present in our story lines. Waltzing in Ragtime has my hero Matthew Hart surrounded by strong (and protective!) relatives who be calls his "badgering women." In The Randolph Legacy, Ethan Randolph has to plead with Judith Mercer to see him as a courting suitor in a Quaker culture that assumes for her a maternal role. "I have too many mothers!" he insists in frustration. Susan's Scottish Lords are often the protective guardians of a family keep that includes assorted charges of fallen relatives, like her warrior surgeon in Lady Miracle. Part of what helps our heroes achieve dimension is their roles as sons, brothers, fathers, friends. Another connection component is the hero's relationship with children. Whether he's a father himself or has no experience with the small ones, his reaction and relationship to them can go far to let our heroine and readers now what kind of man he is. Again, children open up a world of contrasts- fierce protection of the softest members of societies: baby cheeks and steel. Children provide a way to show our hero's softer side, especially when he's not ready to yet show that side to the heroine. Animals and elements of nature work well in demonstrating his capacity for loving tenderness too!
The "S" word:
It's time to talk about the M&M guy's dreaded sensitivity. Yes, he has it. And it is not a source of weakness, it's part of his strength and intelligence. These guys are fierce warriors (all of them, even the monks, midwives and landscape artists among them!) with a soft, compassionate side. We revel in their complexity. Although they carry sadness and burdens of pain in their past that are manifesting themselves in our story lines, they function and handle their lives, even with its poignant emptiness.
Our fascinating heroine throws our Warrior Poet even further off balance before he lands on both of what Susan calls "his emotional feet, knowing more about his inner emotional landscape." The heroine's gentleness and her own brand of courageous strength are his equal and his match. Though their lives are in conflict throughout most of our romances, they both find their way out of emotional ruts thorough their evolving relationship. they are cadylists for each other. As Joseph Campbell states: "Love is the burning point." They're both changed, they're both made more whole, as a result of their integration.
Because of all the contrasts and balance, of the yin/yang of past/present, past/present, male/female, violence/sacrifice, that our Warrior Poet stimulates, we feel our novels take on a richness impossible without him. By the end of the story our M&M guys are free to express and use their gentle side, their compassion and love. The Warrior Poet is a true (and we hope, delicious!) M&M - the shell of his confidence protecting the core of his compassion.

College Hockey:Kamrass' first career goal lifts Mass.-Lowell over Providence in OT
LOWELL, Mass. — Zack Kamrass picked the perfect time to score his first career goal — 11:29 into overtime of an elimination game — to lift the Massachusetts-Lowell River Hawks over Providence College on Friday night at the Tsongas Center. The win evens the best of three series at one, with the decisive game being held on Sunday.
In the extra frame, Joseph Pendenza found some space in the neutral zone and skated in hard toward the net. He then snapped a wrist shot from the left circle that was kicked out by Alex Beaudry to a wide-open Kamrass in the slot. Kamrass then corralled the puck, fired it into the empty net, and sent the series to a final game.
"I was just really ecstatic that we're moving on to Sunday," said Kamrass. "The personal celebration and excitement is fun, but it can't beat that fact that we're moving on."
The frustrating loss for the Friars came in an overtime period that saw both Tim Schaller and Ross Mauermann hit the post, with the latter going under extensive review.
"I was really proud of the way we played in overtime; I thought we carried the play," said Providence coach Nate Leaman. "Sometimes it's just the bounce of the puck. Their shot went in, we hit a couple of posts, and now we move on to Sunday."
It was the River Hawks that drew first blood on a goal by Chad Ruhwedel at 17:28 into the first period. After a failed clearing attempt found its way to the point, Ruhwedel skated in and deked around a Friars defender at the top of the right circle. He then went to the backhand and lifted the puck past Beaudry to give Lowell the 1-0 lead.
Mass.-Lowell doubled its lead just 52 seconds into the second period. Working on a power play, Kamrass fired a slap shot from the point that was tipped on net by Pendenza. The shot was stopped by Beaudry, but a rebound quickly found its way to Matt Ferreira, who backhanded it into the net for his 13th goal of the season.
The Friars cut the lead in half late in the second period on a goal from Miles Harvey. Barrett Kaib sent a pass along the blue line that missed Harvey, but bounced back to him on the boards. As the puck slid back to him, Harvey slapped a shot through a screen that beat Doug Carr stick side.
Just a minute and 57 seconds later, Stefan Demopoulos made it a new game on his eighth tally of the season. After receiving a pass on the rush in the slot, Shane Luke wristed a shot that was stopped by Carr, but a rebound found its way to Demopoulos in the crease, who flipped it into the mesh, leveling the score at 2-2.
"There's no lead that's safe in hockey at this level," said Mass.-Lowell coach Norm Bazin. "By no means did we think that we were in hot water [after the tying goal], we just knew we needed to dig down deep and get the next one."
Carr came up huge for the River Hawks as the second period expired, stopping a close slap shot from Schaller and then gloving the rebound shot from Rob Maloney, keeping the score even going into what would be a scoreless third period.
Both goaltenders were solid in net, with Beaudry stopping 33 shots and Carr stopping just one more.
"I think our guys are really hungry," said Leaman. "You face adversity all season, and you learn to battle through it."

Lisa Vanderpump's husband Ken Todd was targeted on the finale episode of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" by her former friend, Yolanda Foster.
During the episode, the cast attended a party in Beverly Hills where several members of the cast engaged in a heated debate. At one point during the argument, Ken entered the scene, much to the dismay of Yolanda. As a result, Yolanda slammed Ken for inserting himself where he didn't belong, and then, when he grazed her arm with his hand when he began to leave, Yolanda accused him of abuse, yelling, "Don't touch me!"
Needless to say, Lisa was floored to hear the comments of her former friend and has taken to her blog with a few thoughts.
"I thank god that you can see the innocuous interaction [between Yolanda and Ken]," Lisa writes in her Bravo blog, according to a March 13 report by Wetpaint Entertainment. "What actually transpired was the most disappointing of all, as the mean-spirited actions tried to incriminate my dear husband."
In addition to Lisa, several other members of the cast, including Joyce Giraud, Michael Ohoven, and Mauricio Umansky, have spoke out, slamming Yolanda for her careless allegations and defending Ken as a gentleman.
"I was there and mystified as to the level that they would stoop to, trying to malign his character," Lisa continued. "I then understood as I looked at [Yolanda and Brandi Glanville] together, that this dream team — one orchestrated by Yolanda — (one that I had not wanted to be part of) had fulfilled their agenda."
Yolanda really went to an extreme when she acted as if Ken had attacked her. Those are serious allegations and shouldn't be thrown around in such a lackadaisical way.

Mickey Factz returns as his quasi-character Mickey Mau5 on the eponymous mixtape. Mickey Mau5 is a character that tells tales of growing up during the crack/Regan-era. To make matters a little more peculiar, Mickey decides to spit over a slew of instrumentals laced by Electronic Music maestro Dead Mau5 and the pioneering Dangermouse. Mickey definitely shows his flow-versatility by rapping on beats most rappers ignore because their inability to grasp the production's nuances.The Bronx native kicks it off with "Memoirs" where Mau5 speaks about the plethora of plights going on in New York City during 1980s including AIDS, prostitution, crack vials littering the streets and oh yeah, yelling "Fuck Ed Koch." He definitely pours his heart out on this record and anyone that has ever grown up in the ghetto can feel dude and the somber flat trance beat helps put the saddened emotion in perspective. It lays the conceptual blueprint for the tape and just when you think the intro is over, Mickey starts furiously spitting over a hard-hitting Dubstep beat.
"Hulk Hogan & Crack" is a Rock N' Roll infused track where Mickey raps about the fads that were popping off in the 80s and what was a bigger jump-off than the Hulkster and hard white. Even though the beat is odd, Factz wastes no time by rifling a barrage of beastly bars over the irregular beat. Mickey Mouse samples are inserted on the acoustic guitar-driven "Dreams of Money." Mickey has been one of the most emotionally deep rappers for the last three years and he really proves it on this one. "Women put their bodies in celibate/but not celibate/waking up hell bent/feeling devilish/money is the root of all evil/so the message is/the relatives on your family tree can be your nemesis." Take a moment to let that soak.
Mickey gets personal on "Memorabilia." He goes hard about a minute-and-half and it would have been nice to hear him spit another verse, but rather he lets the suspenseful Electronic beat rock out. Factz opts to flow over Gnarls Barkley's "Smiley Faces" instrumental on "3rd 3Y3." He cleverly expounds on the negativity that plagues society over the positively jubilant Dangermouse instrumental.
Further proof that Trance and Hip-Hop are a match made in heaven is evident on the title track "Mickey Mau5." It's not easy for any rapper to catch the rhythmically quick nature of the Dead Mau5's "Raise Your Weapon" instrumental, but Mick is impressively exceptional on this joint. If you're a fan of Dubstep then "Taking Pics Of Girls Naked" will definitely be your favorite and if you're not fan then you'll quickly hit next. The original song, "Move For Me" by Kaskade and Dead Mau5 is classic, but throwing a Dub Step remix taints its timelessness.
The mixtape is extensive; 14 tracks to be exact and his innovative choice of instrumentals and concepts deserve applause. The mixtape is hot all around and you'll quickly become a fan of Mickey's lyricism and cleverness. Arguably the best mixtape released thus far from the Bronx wordsmith and the way he slaughtered these Trance instrumentals make him somewhat of an innovator. Rappers will be swagger jacking soon for sure.

Our Wide Bore MRI
What is Wide Bore MRI?
A Wide Bore MRI is an imaging system that is open to comfortably accommodate all patients. This differs from the traditional tunnel-style magnetic resonance imager in which some patients feel confined and uncomfortable.
How should you prepare for the procedure?
MRI uses a strong magnetic field. Patients will be interviewed prior to the exam and asked if they have any metallic objects in their body. If there is any question of metal fragments being present, you may be asked to have an x-ray that will detect any such objects. In most cases, cardiac stents, artificial heart valves, prosthetic joints, and surgical staples, plates, pins and screws pose no risk during MRI if they have been in place for more than four to six weeks.
Ideal clothing should be worn for your MRI exam; clothing should not have any metal snaps, buttons, or zippers (e.g. sports bra, shorts or pants with elastic waste, jogging suits).
As with all radiological procedures patients should inform the technologist if there is any chance of pregnancy.
MRI Checklist
- You CANNOT have an MRI if you have a pacemaker, brain aneurysm clip more than 10 year old, middle ear or cochlear prosthesis
- You CANNOT have an MRI if you have a neuro stimulator or dorsal column stimulator
- You must advise the technologist if you have any prosthetic device (such as a knee or hip replacement)
- Do not wear any jewelry, hair ornaments, etc. All jewelry, earrings, watches, eyeglasses, etc. must be removed
- Pockets must not hold any wallets containing credit cards, coins, keys, cellular phone, etc. A lock and locker will be provided to you for personal belongings.
If you would like more information about the safety of a particular medical device for the MRI exam, please go to www.mrisafety.com.
What can a person expect during the MRI study?
The patient is placed on a sliding table by the technologist and positioned comfortably for the study in the bore of the scanner. The technologist leaves the room and programs individual MRI sequences that typically last between 2 and 6 minutes each. A tapping or knocking noise will be heard during the imaging process. An intercom allows the patient and technologist to communicate with each other at any time during the study. Depending on the number of images necessary, the study will generally take 20-30 minutes. You will be asked not to move during each sequence while breathing normally.
Our MRI is equipped with magnacoustics communication and music system. There is an ipod docking station, CD, and radio available if you wish to listen to MUSIC while having your MRI exam. You are welcome to bring your own ipod or iphone, and/or music CD of your choice.
Depending upon the study, a contrast material (gadolinium) may be injected intravenously in an arm vein. This material will enhance certain tissues or blood vessels, making them more conspicuous and aiding diagnosis.

About the Ticket Supplier: Ravinia Festival
There's more to Ravinia than merely the world's greatest music. For as many people who walk through Ravinia's gate each summer, there are just as many ways to enjoy what they call "The Ravinia Experience."
For some, it all starts with a picnic picked up along the way, followed by a hop on the train and greeting your friends at your favorite spot on the lawn. Gradually, day turns into evening, and from the comfort of your perfect lawn spot, it culminates in a great concert by candlelight as you gaze at the stars above.
For others, it's a dinner reservation at one of Ravinia's popular on-site restaurants followed by a casual stroll to the Pavilion, where you go to see and hear the stars on the stage.
Bring your own lavish picnic, treat yourself to an ice cream cone at intermission, or just come as you are and leave the details to them.
Since 1904, Ravinia has been Chicago's "sound of summer," a place where you can meet up with your friends, have a wonderful time and hear some of the greatest music in the world. They've got stars on the stage and stars in the sky, and it's all within your reach. Enjoy!

Capturing a celebrity's life on screen in a "bio-pic" is a dicey venture. Recently, "Grace of Monaco" premiered at the Cannes film festival. It is a film about 1950s movie star Grace Kelly, and it was not well-received by critics. On the other hand "My Week with Marilyn," which came out in 2011, was far more satisfying and demonstrates that when a good movie maker selects in on one meaningful episode in a celebrity's life and enlists a capable cast, good storytelling will result.
As the title suggests, "My Week with Marilyn" is based on one week in the life of the notorious bombshell Marilyn Monroe (played by Michelle Williams). Set in the 1950s, when she is already a star, it documents her anxieties around her role in "The Prince and the Showgirl," a film being directed by the also iconographic Lawrence Olivier (played by Kenneth Branagh). While working on the film, she meets Colin Clark (played by Eddie Redmayne), an assistant director with whom she can communicate much more easily than Olivier or any of the other heavy-hitters on the set.
"My Week with Marilyn" has a strong script. It is historically accurate since it shows that the real Marilyn was quite different from the roles she played and, in fact, it shows that even the public Marilyn was a persona being crafted by a smart but insecure woman. Also, it gives a glimpse of her often-troubled love life, as we see her entice Clark while trying to grapple with her relationship with her then-husband, Arthur Miller (played by Dougray Scott).
The cast is outstanding. Michelle Williams is amazing as Marilyn Monroe. She does a great job recreating her voice, and the audience is able to sympathize with her in spite of her self-absorption and seeming indifference to the impact her behavior has on others. Her performance earned her a well-deserved Oscar nomination. Kenneth Branagh is equally good as Lawrence Olivier, who becomes increasingly agitated as the production proceeds. Branagh also earned an Academy Award nomination.
"My Week with Marilyn" is a great choice for fans of Michelle Williams, as well as anyone who is interested in Hollywood history.

New York Mets news, rumors and injuries
Mets | 2016 return unlikely for David Wright
Fri, 01 Jul 2016 14:35:02 -0700
New York Mets 3B David Wright (back) said he will play again, but he is not optimistic about returning this season. He added he will lose about 5% mobility because of the fusion surgery, but suggested that would be a non-issue, and his neck otherwise should be as good as new. He had a significant rupture to a disk that needed to be removed, as well as fragments that needed to come out.
Fantasy Tip: Wright is a low-end stash in deep keeper/dynasty formats, and he shouldn't be owned in any yearly setups. Jose Reyes projects to take over the hot corner soon, and he's worth owning in all fantasy leagues because of his speed.

Mets | Juan Lagares could be activated Friday
Thu, 30 Jun 2016 15:18:57 -0700
New York Mets OF Juan Lagares (thumb) could be activated from the disabled list Friday, July 1, according to general manager Sandy Alderson. His return has been accelerated partly by OF Curtis Granderson's (calf) recent setback involving his right calf strain.
Fantasy Tip: It's looking like Lagares will surely be back at some point this weekend, even if it's not Friday. He's coming back at the right time, too, with Granderson set to miss a little bit of time, which could put the former Gold Glove winner in a favorable position in terms of his fantasy stock. At the same time, he's pretty limited offensively, so owners might want to use caution. His return could also negatively affect Alejandro De Aza and Brandon Nimmo.

Fantasy Tip: Reyes should be owned in all seasonal setups at this point given his stolen base upside. Just keep expectations in check, as he posted an unappealing .274/.310/.378 slash line last year while playing his home games at two great hitter's parks (Rogers Centre and Coors Field).

Mets | Curtis Granderson to miss a couple games
Thu, 30 Jun 2016 13:29:08 -0700
Updating a previous report, New York Mets OF Curtis Granderson (calf) has a right calf strain and is expected to be out of the lineup for at least two games.
Fantasy Tip: Make arrangements to be without Granderson over the weekend. Brandon Nimmo and Alejandro De Aza should see regular playing time and receive a boost in fantasy value in the short term. However, Nimmo is the target of preference in cavernous mixed and NL-only setups. With the All-Star break nearing, New York could be very cautious with Granderson to ensure he is healthy for the second half. Stay tuned for updates.

Mets | Curtis Granderson remains sidelined
Thu, 30 Jun 2016 12:52:23 -0700
New York Mets OF Curtis Granderson (calf) remains out of the starting lineup Thursday, June 30. OF Brandon Nimmo is starting in right field and is hitting leadoff, while 2B/OF Kelly Johnson starts in left and is batting sixth against Chicago Cubs SP John Lackey.
Fantasy Tip: Nimmo has plenty of upside and should be considered in NL-only and cavernous mixed leagues with regular playing time in New York's outfield. He doesn't have a ton of fantasy upside in DFS hitting leadoff, though. Johnson is a journeyman utility player that has limited offensive upside at this point of his career. He's a deep DFS sleeper tonight.

Mets | Logan Verrett suffers loss Wednesday
Wed, 29 Jun 2016 19:23:16 -0700
New York Mets SP Logan Verrett (3-5) allowed two runs on four hits over five innings in a loss to the Washington Nationals Wednesday, June 29, with four walks and one strikeout.
Fantasy Tip: Verrett was making a spot start because SP Steven Matz (elbow) had his scheduled start pushed back one day. Expect the 26-year-old right-hander to stick around as a long reliever for now.

Mets | Curtis Granderson scratched late
Wed, 29 Jun 2016 15:16:57 -0700
New York Mets OF Curtis Granderson (calf) was a late scratch against the Washington Nationals Wednesday, June 29. Mets OF Brandon Nimmo draws into the lineup and will bat eighth, and Mets OF Alejandro De Aza will lead off against Nationals SP Max Scherzer Wednesday.
Fantasy Tip: Sub out Granderson where you can Wednesday, and it's likely best to avoid both De Aza and Nimmo given the daunting matchup against Scherzer. The calf injury has hindered Granderson of late, so check back for updates on his status before locking him into your lineups, especially in daily contests.

Mets | Alejandro De Aza draws in vs. Nats
Wed, 29 Jun 2016 14:14:26 -0700
New York Mets OF Alejandro De Aza is starting in left field and batting seventh against Washington Nationals SP Max Scherzer Wednesday, June 29. OF Brandon Nimmo is not in the starting lineup Wednesday.
Fantasy Tip: This is likely a move to provide the rookie Nimmo a break from facing Scherzer. View De Aza as a desperation fantasy option Wednesday, whereas Nimmo remains a viable depth piece in cavernous mixed and NL-only leagues with the fantasy upside to gain traction in shallower setups.

Mets | No Wilmer Flores vs. Washington
Wed, 29 Jun 2016 14:09:21 -0700
New York Mets 3B Wilmer Flores is not in the starting lineup Wednesday, June 29. INF/OF Kelly Johnson is starting at third base and batting sixth against Washington Nationals SP Max Scherzer Wednesday.
Fantasy Tip: Flores has started 21 games in June and owns a solid .306/.370/.444 slash line for the month with 12 RBI. He's in the deep mixed and NL-only conversation as long as he's receiving consistent playing time. While Johnson is a respectable 11-for-35 since joining the Mets, it is a daunting matchup against Scherzer, and no one should fret fading Johnson Wednesday.

Mets | Travis d'Arnaud sitting vs. Nats
Wed, 29 Jun 2016 14:02:54 -0700
New York Mets C Travis d'Arnaud is not in the starting lineup Wednesday, June 29. C Rene Rivera is starting behind the plate and batting eighth against Washington Nationals SP Max Scherzer Wednesday.
Fantasy Tip: D'Arnaud is 5-for-22 with three RBI since returning from the disabled list. Remain patient with the impact backstop in all settings, as he has nice power potential from the position. Over the past two years, Rivera has a .180/.223/.279 slash line through 392 plate appearances, so against Scherzer, Rivera is an ill-advised fantasy option.

Mets | Curtis Granderson back in the lineup
Wed, 29 Jun 2016 13:56:07 -0700
New York Mets OF Curtis Granderson (calf) is starting in right field and leading off against Washington Nationals SP Max Scherzer Wednesday, June 29.
Fantasy Tip: Granderson has been nursing the nagging calf injury for a few days, so it isn't out of the question to sub him out for a healthy option if you have the luxury in seasonal leagues. He's obviously a significant risk in daily contests because of the matchup and potential aggravation of the calf injury.
Comment () | Share: | Source: MLB.com
Wed, 29 Jun 2016 06:35:38 -0700
New York Mets 3B Jose Reyes is 0-for-9 with Class AA Binghamton but said he'll let the team know when he feels comfortable at the plate and at third base. "My body feels perfect. I just need my timing, and some more action at third base," Reyes said.
Fantasy Tip: Reyes will probably need another week or two on the farm and could be a nice bonus to have for steals after the All-Star break.

Mets | Curtis Granderson has calf strain
Tue, 28 Jun 2016 23:56:45 -0700
New York Mets OF Curtis Granderson (calf) is dealing with a small calf strain, manager Terry Collins said Tuesday, June 28. It's the same reason he sat Sunday, June 26, as he had trouble loosening up after the weather delay.
Fantasy Tip: Granderson should be reserved in all seasonal daily leagues and avoided in DFS until he can officially return and play at least back-to-back games without any setbacks.

Mets | Matt Harvey first to 10 losses in NL
Tue, 28 Jun 2016 22:37:10 -0700
New York Mets SP Matt Harvey had his start Tuesday, June 28, against the Washington Nationals halted by an 83-minute rain delay, but not before he gave up one run on four hits and three walks over 3 2/3 innings to fall to 4-10.
Fantasy Tip: Harvey actually has a 2.27 ERA since picking up his last win on May 30, but the Mets have scored a whopping six runs total in his five June starts, so he'll finish this month without a win. Given his team's offensive woes and his bad luck in general this season, owners might want to sit Harvey against the Miami Marlins on Monday.

Mets | Syndergaard, Matz to keep pitching
Tue, 28 Jun 2016 14:30:12 -0700
New York Mets SPs Noah Syndergaard (elbow) and Steven Matz (elbow) are both dealing with bone spurs but will continue to pitch, according to manager Terry Collins. Matz's spurs are worse and will need to be surgically removed eventually, although the Mets are hoping it can wait until the offseason. Surgery will require a three-month recovery timeline. Syndergaard's bone spur is "very small," and 90% of pitchers have something comparable, according to general manager Sandy Alderson. Syndergaard is being treated with anti-inflammatories and won't need offseason surgery. The Mets have assurances from team doctors that Matz can't do more damage by continuing to pitch through his issue. The Mets will monitor Matz on a start-to-start basis to make sure he's not changing his mechanics and compromising his body in another way. Alderson said New York will consider going to a six-man rotation when SP Zack Wheeler (elbow) returns in August.
Fantasy Tip: It's troublesome to see the Mets' young starters deal with elbow concerns, but at least they aren't significant issues. However, at least in the immediate future, that makes both Syndergaard and Matz very risky fantasy starters. Matz is a bigger question mark since his bone spurs are more significant, and the good news with Thor is that his velocity wasn't affected in his start Monday.

A weekend political noteload:
They took up a collection of sorts for Republican gubernatorial nominee Bill Haslam at the Stan McNabb Automotive dealership in Tullahoma, and McNabb presented the results -- campaign contribution checks -- to Haslam this week.
The showroom was packed on Thursday, where Haslam's bus tour made a stop, and standing at the main desk -- which served as a stage for Haslam and Sen. Bob Corker -- McNabb opened a manila envelope and pulled out a fistful of political currency.
"This folder right here is full of checks," McNabb said. "I just want to show y'all the checks." (photo at left)
Haslam said thank you.
The sight symbolized the announcement this week that Haslam raised $1.2 million in the final campaign reporting period of Oct. 1-23, for a two-year total of more than $13.7 million. The campaign said it has received contributions from 11,613 donors.
State records show the Haslam campaign took in $1,222,220.50 in the final pre-general election reporting period, spending $1,871,019.27 in the run-up to the election. The report shows $3.49 million in self-endorsed Haslam loans to the campaign.
Democratic nominee Mike McWherter showed $573,177.39 in contributions for the period, including a $500,000 loan from McWherter. The McWherter campaign spent $1,145,629.26 in the period. . . .
. . . While Haslam was telling everybody in the state to cool it on the whole gun-carry permit flare-up -- in which Haslam triggered a firestorm by saying he'd sign a no-permit-required bill if he were presented one as governor -- McWherter was talking about permit holders who didn't like Haslam's stand. They want the current process for permits left as it is, McWherter said.
"I had some people stop me in the parking lot in Lawrenceburg, and they're very upset with Bill Haslam's position on this," McWherter said. "They're permit holders, and they don't feel like it is at all a wise policy to allow (just) anybody to be able to carry a handgun.
"They've been through the gun safety courses. They know what those entail, and they know other people who are carrying concealed weapons are people who've been properly screened and have proper gun safety. People who are carrying permits are not at all in favor of this, at least the ones I'm hearing back from." . . .
. . . Should Haslam win the governor's race Tuesday, one of the things to watch for might be his first address to the legislature, because Haslam is saying he will try to persuade the General Assembly to concentrate on jobs and education -- and not guns.
Haslam has gone to great lengths to clarify his position on permits for carrying handguns, primarily because he keeps getting asked about it. He likes the law the way it stands, and he doesn't want a bill that would eliminate the need for permits. The part of the process being overlooked, Haslam says, is the amount of debate that would go on just to get to a point where he would have such a bill to sign.
"If the legislature passed it after due discussion, I would sign it. But I would weigh in," he told reporters. "Leadership doesn't just happen when you sign a bill or don't. It happens all along the way, and I would weigh in on that.
"As governor, I am going to be encouraging the legislature to focus on the big issues in front of us, and the big issues are jobs and a very difficult budget situation. So as governor, I'm going to say let's don't get tangled up in that. Let's go and solve the big issues." . . .
. . . Haslam is fond of quoting Sen. Lamar Alexander's line about unfunded mandates, like the health care reform bill, and how members of Congress who would vote for such a thing ought to be sentenced to go home and be governor and live with it. In that spirit, Alexander, who was governor of Tennessee from 1979-87, was asked this week what advice he would give Haslam if the Knoxville mayor becomes governor.
"I've tried since I've been governor to remember there is only one governor at a time. I've done a pretty good job of keeping my advice to myself and just giving it to my successors when they ask for it," Alexander said. "I think I would just advise Bill Haslam to be himself.
"He's been a good, conservative mayor. He's focused on some tough times in Knoxville. He's done it in a sound way. I think his focus will be on creating good jobs, on improving our education system and on trying to deal with this great big difficult economic problem we have right now in the budget."
Alexander, chairman of the Senate Republican Conference, didn't stump only for Haslam this week. He campaigned with Republican Christine O'Donnell in her Senate race in Delaware and for Mississippi House candidate Alan Nunnalee. . .
. . . Democratic state Sen. Roy Herron is not letting up on his 8th District congressional opponent, Republican Stephen Fincher, on financial disclosure. Herron's latest question is, "Does Fincher Pay Taxes?"
Herron issued a press release Friday saying it's time for Fincher to come clean and disclose his tax returns.
"Some Tennesseans don't think Stephen Fincher pays any federal taxes," Herron said in a formal statement. "The tax-paying, law-abiding citizens of West and Middle Tennessee deserve to know if Stephen Fincher is one of us, or if he's hiding his income tax returns for a reason."
The Federal Election Commission is looking into Fincher's campaign finances, where a $250,000 bank loan to Fincher is believed to be under scrutiny. . . .
. . . Fincher's decision not to debate Herron, and Republican Scott DesJarlais' decision not to debate Democratic Rep. Lincoln Davis in the 4th District, have been publicly explained as reactions to being unfairly characterized as a lawbreaker in Fincher's case and as a man with an unstable past in DesJarlais' case, with DesJarlais' divorce records dredged up.
But in each case, if polls are to be believed, the real reason might be a matter of simply running out the clock. Fincher and DesJarlais are believed to be in position to pull off victories in districts that have been in Democratic hands. Herron and Davis are working hard to keep that from happening.
DesJarlais, when asked Thursday about the heavy-hitting ads in his race, said, "It's disappointing when there are so many important issues facing the country that we can't be on message and talk about those issues. I think the campaign style of our current congressman speaks volumes about his personality.
"We tried for months to talk about issues, and all we seemed to get was mudslinging." . . .
. . . As McWherter has repeatedly pointed to a jobs program in Illinois as a model for what he wants to do as governor, Haslam has his own point to make about another state, Indiana. Haslam frequently cites Indiana's reforms in procurement as something Tennessee should consider.
The idea falls in line with Haslam's overall plan to find efficiency in government, one line of thought in the "thousand little cuts" approach he says will save money in a tight budget. . . .
. . . State Sen. Diane Black, Republican nominee against Democrat Brett Carter in the 6th District congressional race, prefers to be called "congressman" if she wins, same as the preference voiced by 7th District Rep. Marsha Blackburn, meaning if Black and Blackburn win on Tuesday the state will have two women as "congressmen."
Blackburn, heavily favored over Democrat Greg Rabidoux, made an appearance in the 6th District this week, with Black in attendance, and addressed a crowd in support of Haslam.
Blackburn declared, "The people of the 6th District can help America carry out the best shovel-ready project that there is -- firing Nancy Pelosi."
Pelosi, Democratic Speaker of the House, seems to have won the prize as the most dissed political figure in Tennessee, even though Pelosi is from California. Democrats Herron and Carter have distanced themselves from Pelosi, and judging from television ads and campaign one-liners, Republicans have managed to make Pelosi the ultimate political villain of the year in the state, apparently beating out early leader Lane Kiffin, the former Tennessee football coach, who had nothing to do with politics.

While the various faiths and races composing India's melting pot are often at odds, fashion designer Perveez Aggarwal seeks national unity through her clothing venture My Beautiful Embroideries. Aggarwal, a member of the small and wealthy Parsee community, helps India's underclass by employing rural Muslim craftsmen "to recreate ancient Persian designs on embroidered clothing she sells worldwide," AFP reports. It all started when Aggarwal, who comes from a well-off family of antique dealers, witnessed Muslim squatters in her neighbourhood being attacked during sectarian riots in the early nineties.
Indian Muslims account for 13 percent of the country's 1.1 billion people, and are the most impoverished of all the land. But through "word-of-mouth sales to Indian royalty, New York socialites, and ladies who lunch from London to Hong Kong," My Beautiful Embroideries rings in 85,000 dollars annually to support poor families of embroiderers in Calcutta (Eastern India's largest city), and whole villages in the country's poorest state of Bihar.

Beauty products don't have to cost half a day's pay to work well. We adore Vitabath's Moisturizing Bath & Shower Gelée ($13 for ten ounces) because it lathers like a dream, smells softly of herbs and pine, and leaves skin looking reinvigorated. It certainly does the job just as well as a boutique body wash that costs twice as much.

I've got a RAID1 array. I'm buying 4 more disks of equal size (they're the same model drives) and I'm trying to enumerate my options for a safe upgrade. Ideally they'll be one large ext3 volume.
Firstly, am I crazy? Do I really want to move software RAID1 to 5 or 6? Will I wish I never had? The machine is fairly powerful (an i7 with 12gigs of RAM) but will performance be significantly worse? Is R6 worse than R5?
I should add that there is nothing "running" of this disk - it's purely storage for a small network.
Step two: How do I do it? If I'm going for RAID6, is it best to create a new 6-disk RAID6 array in a failed state (ie 2 drives missing), copy the data across from the RAID1, break the RAID1 and add those disks to the RAID6?
I'm really keen for any feedback from mdadm users.

College Hockey:NCAA Passes 'Common Start Date' Legislation
INDIANAPOLIS — The Division I Management Council of the NCAA recently passed an amendment to its by-laws creating a common start date for men's ice hockey.
This legislation will not take effect until August, 2004.
This date will be the Saturday of the 25th full weekend prior to the first round of the NCAA tournament. If the legislation took effect this season, that date would fall on Sept. 29-30. In 2004, it falls on Oct. 2.
The previous legislation said games and practices could not start before Sept. 7, or the institution's first day of classes for the fall term, whichever was earliest — although, most teams did not start until later in September.
In effect, this will push the start of the season up a week, although starting in 2002-03, the NCAA tournament will be pushed up a week as well.
This season, three teams played exhibitions against Canadian schools on the weekend of Sept. 26. The following Friday, Oct. 5, was the Hall of Fame Game between Minnesota and North Dakota, followed a day later by a number of games.
The controversial original legislation, proposed by the ECAC and MAAC, would have added a provision prohibiting games from being played until two weeks after the practice start date. For 2004-05, that would have meant no games could be played before Oct. 16.
The proposal — as well as officials from the MAAC and ECAC — drew intense criticism from the hockey community, and the legislation was amended.
