Stila Convertible Colour in Peony
Yes, I am still bringing you the promised threading tutorial, but before do that let me tell you of this fabulous find. I just scouted the perfect lip and cheek product, Stila Convertible Colour in Peony, that gives me a natural and glowy dusty peachy-pink flush and the perfect "JLo" nude lips.
I had given up on multi-tasking products long ago. Either they're a great blush but too dry for using as a lip product, or the texture is too waxy-feeling to use on my cheeks as well. I used to much rather prefer to buy a cheek product and a lip product separately. However, Stila's Convertible Colour made me retract my previous notion. Peony is a highly pigmented creamy blush and lip product that gives me a great glowy, natural flush. It looks rather dull in the pan, but it's so easy to blend and adds such a warmth to my face that I plan to hoard more of these. There are no sparkles and glitters but I get a soft glow from this product. Also, as hard as I tries to overdo it (this was in the name of research), this blush did not make me look like the clowns you see in horror movies with garishly painted blush.
The Convertible Colour also is creamy enough to work well as a lipstick. However, if I feel like it is bit drying I just add a dab of Carmex and this problem is solved. Peony gives me a great nude, "JLo-esque" lip that goes really well with my two-toned lips and compliments dark, smokey eyes very well. All in all, there will be more shocking, cutting edge products out there, but this is such a great find that has a lot of potential.

hi, i really like reading your blog. There are many beauty/makeup blogs out there, but most leave me wondering how most products will work with my 'fair indian' skin tone, which isnt as white as caucasian skin, nor as olive as indian skin is normally classified. So thnks... I would like to suggest that you take pictures of you wearing the makeup that you are reviewing, or pictures of the actual product, cos promotional pictures are very different to the actual shade...thnks again, tc5:12 AM

hey anu! i was wondering if you could do some makeup breakdowns on bipasha basu because i really like the way she does her makeup. i've especially been trying to mimic the way she does her lips. i know she uses MAC lipgloss but i've unable to figure out which shades she uses. thanks a lot for the latest blog. am always on the lookout for versatile products :-)11:20 AM

Hi angel,
Thanks for reading my blog. I'm thinking of having my friends pose for me and show different make-up looks and products as they have very varied skintones. I think it's easier to incorporate a wider range of skin tones that way. I have you typical (stereotypical dare i say) desi skintone, but there are such a variety of skintones i feel i would alienate those. How about that?
- Anu said...
Hi Aishwarya,
I will post a breakdown of Bipasha basu's soon. I LOVE her make-up and will try my best to find information on her make-up.

I tried Peony a long time ago, and it was too dry for me. I literally had to drag it and rub it into my face to make it blend. I'll take a look at it again, maybe they changed the formula.12:17 AM
- Anu said...
hey chic mommy,
i found peony to be very creamy and it blended amazingly well on my skin. I do always moisturize before applying make-up... Btw, I'd hate to have a blush make me drag my skin. it'll make your skin red though, a natural blushing reaction i suppose

I'd like to take this time to wish all my readers a happy and safe New Year! I hope you all have a great year, and if you are drinking tonight, please don't drive! Let's all get home safe! 😉
I have one personal resolution for this year: Find a new job without help from my mom or dad. That's twelve months, so I hopefully should succeed! 🙂
For my writing I have two goals: Complete both "Time's Changes" and at least "Keeping Old Promises" this year and complete the prologue to "Darkness Before Dawn". I'm hoping to finish and release the next chapter of "Time's Changes" soon, so keep an eye out.
Oh all my sites (Including Unlimited Fan Fiction 🙁 ) will likely go down for a few days cause I don't have the cash in my Paypal account at the moment to pay the invoice and it will take 6-8 business days to transfer the funds from my bank account.
That's all for now, until next time in the new year, please take care. 😉

As Easter approaches I was thinking how holidays for an abused child are not always happy.They are stressful. Stress of impending violence or fighting. The extra time at home puts you directly in the middle of a war zone. As a child being at school meant safety and escaping my nightmares. I could laugh and live just like normal until time to go home. Every minute at a home was like waking through the woods and waiting for a bomb to go off.
The memories of Easter brought to mind a story that saddens but reminds us the effect of domestic violence on a child. Christmas for many is magical as it is lights and cheer. This one child is haunted by Christmas past. Her first memory is very vivid and painful. Her tears froze to her face as she silently cried as to not make a sound. She could hear yelling and glass breaking as it flew across the living room. She shivered in her little critters night gown as the snow blew across her bare legs. She had no coat as it was inside the living room. She had no socks as she had given them to her brother. He was only 5. He used them for gloves.She had taken him to the back porch step in hopes they would not be next on fathers anger list. He would yell and throw and somehow it would bring something they had done and they would be waken and beaten too. Her brother only 5 had scars from the horsewhip across his backside.They dare not move or breathe in hopes he would forget them.
They sat freezing together. It seemed like an everyday normal thing.The parents would drink and then fight. Not long after it became violent and when morning came there was broken furniture and blood and glass covering the floor. This night was no different but it was Christmas. The holiday meant more time at home. It meant more time to anger him. It meant more parties and drinking.It meant more sadness and pain. So when you ask do I have time off, the answer is no. It is no because abuse doesn't take the time off. Be the voice that speaks up for those who can't.Hiding the voice allows abuser's easy access and silence from a victim who believes when he says if you tell no one will believe you.

Obama Creates Scary New "Big Brother" Perfect Citizen Internet
Barack HUSSEIN Obama has once again violated our American Constitution. Hussein Obama has violated our rights to privacy by creating a scary new big brother internet program called Perfect Citizen.
Here is the logo Obama has created to go with the program to the left. He uses symbolism in this logo to let us know what this program is all about and how it is created to persecute every true American and those who are 1) loyal to our country 2) love freedom and therefore are GOP 3) Christian.
Below the eagle, please first notice there is a bolt of lightning. This symbolizes Obama's belief in false Arab Muslim gods of ancient such as Alham, Zeus and even Ba'al. These are all false gods that the Arabs worshipped at some point and Obama is trying to use one of their many symbols, the lightning bolt, as if it were the foundation for America, represented by the eagle.
What Obama forgets that America is one nation under God. The lightning also symbolizes that the internet is powered by electricity and by the electrical currents, the internet 'signals' can be transmitted to all computers on Earth that America allows to access the internet, though some like Chinese Korean communists and reserve Africa somehow manage to sneak on there.
Now please notice the two swords, that are interlocked. This is meant to intimidate all who are not "Perfect Citizens", according to Obama. If you do not support 1) terror 2) atheists (i.e., anarchists against America) 3) the gays 4) terrors and even more, you will be put on Obama's 'Not Perfect Citizens" list and removed from his "Perfect Citizens" list.
I thought Obama would be a bit more mature than this. Here we are, with a president who claims to be a Harvard man, and yet he is still making popularity lists and giving people grades based on if they agree with his hellbound policy or not. It is a disgrace.
Finally on his little logo, we see the coup de grac, the deathblow of this program and why it is not Constitutional. We see a key on the bottom, meaning he is going to lock out anyone who does not agree with his policy. He will block everyone who disagrees with him from the internet.
Did you know only last week, Obama signed into law a provision which gives him the power to 'shut down' the internet whenever he pleases?
This is a cruel abuse of his executive office and I for one call for the Supreme Court to go ahead an initiate the impeachment proceedings, as Obama internet law is not Constitution and therefore stands against every American and therefore against God.

I'm playing on PS3 and can only get through Andrew Ryan's first speech, after that the game black screens every time without fail. Is this a thing that happens often? How do I get through this?
It sounds like you had an error while installing the game.
If this doesn't work then you can try restoring the file system, but I'd only do that as a last resort.

My Beef with Meat: The Healthiest Argument for Eating a Plant-Strong Diet–Plus 140 New Engine 2 Recipes by Rip Esselstyn
Release date: 288 pp / 2013
Synopsis (from Amazon): For the millions who are following a plant-based diet, as well as those meat-eaters who are considering it, MY BEEF WITH MEAT is the definitive guide to convincing all that it's truly the best way to eat! New York Times Bestelling author of The Engine 2 Diet and nutrition lecturer Rip Esselstyn, is back and ready to arm readers with the knowledge they need to win any argument with those who doubt the health benefits of a plant-based diet–and convince curious carnivores to change their diets once and for all. Esselstyn reveals information on the foods that most people believe are healthy, yet that scientific research shows are not. Some foods, in fact, he deems so destructive they deserve a warning label. Want to prevent heart attacks, stroke, cancer and Alzheimer's? Then learn the facts and gain the knowledge to convince those skeptics that they are misinformed about plant-based diets…
Review:The cover photograph of a handsome Texas firefighter may bring to mind words like courageous, heroic, and virile, but "plant-strong" may not be on the list–unless Rip Esselstyn is already known for his Engine 2 (E2) Diet and as the son of the surgeon whose cardiac disease-reversing program may have saved President Clinton's life.
Impressed by his father's extensive research and his own health and vitality after becoming a vegetarian, Esselstyn published the Engine 2 Diet in 2009 and immediately received a visit to his firehouse from the Texas Beef Council, bearing gifts of brisket and other carnivorous treats. However, Esselstyn believes now "things have changed dramatically… all over the country people are learning about healthy plant-based diets." In My Beef with Meat, Esselstyn debunks 36 common myths about meat-based diets, including that plant-based diets lack protein, providing research, testimonials, and common sense perspective on why so many Americans embrace meat, but shouldn't.
Then Esselstyn states "People always ask me how I was able to get a bunch of burger-munching, ice cream-scarfing, milk-guzzling Texas firefighters to eat a healthy, whole food, plant-strong diet… It's all about making and eating kickass food that everyone from housewives to firefighters, from kids to seniors will truly love."
Each of the 140 "kickass" recipes include no animal products or by-products, no added extracted oils, little salt, minimally processed sugars, and are simple and easy to prepare. They include Savory Shiitake and Cheesy Oats, Spicy Southern Grits, Armadillo Sweet Potatoes, PBJB Burrito, Adonis Cake, and many more. Esselstyn hopes to make a "plant-strong" diet a desire, rather than a duty.
Thank you to Shelf Awareness for asking me to read and review this!

The official source of information on Managed Providers, DataSet & Entity Framework from Microsoft
The information in this post is out of date.
Visit msdn.com/data/ef for the latest information on current and past releases of EF.
For Performance Considerations see http://msdn.com/data/hh949853
EF4 supports the use of server-generated GUIDs, which has been a popular request since EF 3.5. Lee Dumond summarized his experience on how to use this feature very well. But you may find that the performance of server-generated GUIDs is not as fast as client-side generated GUIDs or even the server side Identity columns of other types like int, smallint etc. I would like to take a few moments to explain why that is and how we are going to improve it.
First of all, we need to take a look at the SQL script that is generated by EF. Based on the types of server side generated key column, there are two variations of SQL as listed below,
1. Identity type supported by Scope_Identity(), such as int, bigint and smallint, etc. For example in the statement below, the Id is an int.
insert [dbo].[Employee]([Name])
values ('Li')
select [Id]
from [dbo].[Employee]
where @@ROWCOUNT > 0 and [Id] = scope_identity()
2. Identity type not supported by Scope_Identity(), such as uniqueidentifier. For instance the Id in the statement below is a uniqueidentifier.
declare @generated_keys table([Id] uniqueidentifier)
insert [dbo].[Customer]([Name])
output inserted.[Id] into @generated_keys
values ('Lei')
select t.[Id]
from @generated_keys as g join [dbo].[Customer] as t on g.[Id] = t.[Id]
where @@ROWCOUNT > 0
To measure the relative execution time, we run those two insert statements in one batch with Actual Execution Plan. As you can see in the diagram below, the second batch of SQL runs twice slower than the first batch.
You may think why not just get rid of the table variable in the second SQL script (as shown in the table below) to make it faster.
output inserted.[Id]
The reason is that OUTPUT clause without INTO in update statements can be problematic when you have triggers defined on the table. You can read more about this here and here. Basically we want to make sure when the table has triggers on insert, our generated SQL will still work.
If you want to have better performance on the insert, you can always generate the GUID on the client side.
We would like to improve the performance in server-generated GUID scenarios by supporting Function in the DefaultValue attribute on Property definition in SSDL, so that user can define a store function "newid()" in SSDL and reference it in the DefaultValue of the Id Property on the Customer table. EF will then generate the following SQL which improves the performance considerably (50% faster).
declare @generated_key uniqueidentifier
set @generated_key = newid()
insert [dbo].[Customer]([Id],[Name])
values (@generated_key, 'Lei')
select @generated_key as [Id]
Here is the Actual Execution Plan from running both the new SQL script and the original SQL script.

In an excruciating bid to keep the young pukes of future generations from succumbing to the lustful evils of marijuana addiction, Arizona lawmakers have emerged from their Republican fear cellar with a scheme to use fees derived from medical marijuana dispensaries to teach kids to stay off ganga.
Earlier this week, the House Health Committee approved legislation that would serve to collect fees, civil penalties and private donations, and deposit them into a fund aimed at deterring the continued degeneration of stoner society. That's right -- rather than use accrued fines and other strong-arm taxes for say, anything fucking else, these one-dimensional cactus lappers have decided it is in the best interest of the state to spend millions of stagnant dollars "To discourage marijuana use among the general population."
So far, the state has hoarded roughly $6 million since voters gave the proverbial thumbs up in 2010 for medical marijuana. Representative Ethan Orr, one of the men advocating for this caveman campaign, says the fund could generate in upwards of $2 million a year, which would be distributed to law enforcement agencies for "resource officers" and to lend support to additional programs that teach kids to "just say no" to the high life.
Mason Tvert, director of communications for the Marijuana Policy Project, the pro-pot organization responsible for financing Arizona's 2010 initiative to legalize medical marijuana, believes using these funds to inspire fear in the eyes of the public is absurd.
"It is remarkable how much money some government officials are willing to flush down the toilet in hopes of scaring adults away from using marijuana," said Tvert, adding that public campaigns paid for by the government should be factual.
"It's a fact that marijuana is less harmful than alcohol," Tvert said. "If an adult would prefer to make the safer choice to use marijuana instead of using alcohol, they should have that right."
Tvert, along with the majority of marijuana supporters, agrees that smoking pot and drinking booze are not extra-curricular activities that should be engaged in by the youth of America. However, unlike our opposing forces, we are not naive enough to think, not even for a second, that our precious children are dense enough to buy into the government's feeble "high on life" crusades.
Hell, obviously "Generation X" did not buy into the government's brand of Reefer Madness 30 years ago, when they attempted to teach us during Saturday morning cartoons that "users were losers" and to "take a bite out of crime." -- that is the reason marijuana is currently being legalized in this country -- we never bought into the bullshit.
Yet, Orr believes that millions of dollars generated from the medical marijuana market should be allotted for anti-drug campaigns targeting the impressionable demographic of 24 and under; that such a move would be a viable investment for the future of society. Not likely.
There is speculation that Orr's proposed amendment to use medical marijuana money to fund anti-pot campaigns is not even legal. Even if it is, he will have to convince three-fourths of the House and Senate that his revisions "further the purpose" of the original measure before it can be passed.

The Best Hole In The Wall?
By Jay Whipple/Trend Magazine
You will never find this eatery because it is such a secret that it does not have a name that could possibly be associated with dining or a restaurant. It is actually tucked away in a Shell quick shop located in the South End area of the Dilworth Community – Charlotte's oldest neighborhood dating back to 1891. This community was also the first street car suburb of the Queen City, was very active during the textile industry boom, and was once home to two of the more than eighty gold mines that were located in and around Charlotte for nearly fifty years before the California Gold Rush -- in the late 1840's. In addition, the quick stop is located diagonally across the street from Reverend Billy Graham's former house of worship – today known as Grace Covenant Church.
Learn more about the history of the Dilworth Community on Charlotte's Longest-Running Daily City Tour by Queen City Tours(sm) and Travel.
I found out about this place via word-of-mouth over 20 years ago and during my partying days. Yes, I did party like it was 1999 -- all the time! And those of you that still do party hardy are quite familiar with the phenomenon called the munchies that plague you after a long night of trying to find happiness in all the wrong places.
This place is open 24/7/365 and serves a home-cooked southern-style breakfast until late morning. I am talking about scrambled eggs, link and patty sausages, grits, bacon, liver mush, and even fried bologna. Yes, I said the hard-to-find southern delicacy that you will not find in chain stores because some folks consider it too ghetto or country -- bologna. In fact, this eatery is classified by some as a hole in the wall. To some that means stay away; to others, like myself, it means more food for those of us that have acquired the taste for a good ole' fashioned home made country-style breakfast. By the way, they also serve country fried chicken legs, wings, and sliced taters for lunch. A two piece leg and three piece tater meal is only $3.78 with tax – as of April 2009.
This no-named eatery is located in the Shell quick stop at 1723 South Boulevard [Corner of South Blvd. and East Blvd.], Charlotte, NC, 28203. Their phone number is 704-333-0807. Tell them that Trend Magazine Online sent you!

30 Greenest Cities in America
Originally posted by Planet Forward
There are many green rankings, and in the past we've looked at the Top 10 Greenest Countries and even the 8 Green Companies You Can Feel Good About. While many major cities are making green and sustainable changes and passing legislation to enforce said changes, it's great to look at how they measure up in comparison to one another.
This list was compiled and published by Corporate Knights (CK). CK "is a media, research and financial products company focused on quantifying and animating clean capitalism drivers for decision makers." CK has branched out into a magazine, as well as into Corporate Knights Capital.
Corporate Knights Capital "a division of the leading publishing and investment research company [CK], [it] is [a] source for objective, data-driven 'clean capitalism' ratings for over 2000 companies globally." The 30 Greenest Cities in America ranking was established with the assistance of Tufts University Political Science professor Kent E. Portney.
Scored out of a possible 38 points, CK used a list of 38 specific policies and programs that cities around America have been doing to try to become more sustainable. You can review their methodology here. As you can see from the list, many cities tied with others in scoring so there are actually 3 cities sharing the number one spot.
Now, let's count down the top 30 greenest cities in America:
27. Louisville Metro, KY score of 26/38
27. Las Vegas, NV score of 26/38
27. Miami, FL score of 26/38
27. Fresno, CA score of 26/38
26. Indianapolis, IN score of 27/38
23. Kansas City, MO score of 28/38
23. Los Angeles, CA score of 28/38
23. Boston, MA score of 28/38
17. Washington D.C. score of 29/38
17. Tucson, AZ score of 29/38
17. Nashville-Davidson, TN score of 29/38
17. Fort Worth, TX score of 29/38
17. Dallas, TX score of 29/38
17. Austin, TX score of 29/38
14. San Jose, CA score of 30/38
14. San Diego, CA score of 30/38
14. New York City, NY score of 30/38
8. Sacramento, CA score of 31/38
8. Phoenix, AZ score of 31/38
8. Philadelphia, PA score of 31/38
8. Minneapolis, MN score of 31/38
8. Columbus, OH score of 31/38
8. Chicago, IL score of 31/38
7. Oakland, CA score of 32 /38
5. Charlotte, NC score of 32/38
5. Albuquerque, NM score of 32/38
4. Denver, CO score of 33/38
1. Seattle, WA score of 35/38
1. San Francisco, CA score of 35/38
1. Portland, OR/ San Francisco, CA score of 35/38
This list illustrates that many major American cities are doing well when it comes to their environmental policies. The list is an encouraging sign that governments are doing their part to reverse the damage that has been done to the environment. Though this list of green cities highlights those who are succeeding, when it comes to being green, it has also giving other cities something to aspire. These types of lists allow participants to be able to measure their successes and failures against their peers. It can also act as a catalyst or call to arms, to get other cities to take a long look at their own green status. Remember that every little bit helps, and for every city doing their part to be green, the world is a better place.

Antimalarial drugs are used for the treatment and prevention of malaria infection. Most antimalarial drugs target the erythrocytic stage of malaria infection, which is the phase of infection that causes symptomatic illness (figure 1). The extent of preerythrocytic (hepatic stage) activity for most antimalarial drugs is not well characterized.
Treatment of the acute blood stage infection is necessary for malaria caused by all malaria species. In addition, for infection due to Plasmodium ovale or P. vivax, terminal prophylaxis is required with a drug active against hypnozoites (which can remain dormant in the liver for months, and occasionally years, after the initial infection).
The mechanisms of action, resistance, and toxicities of antimalarial drugs will be reviewed here. Use of these agents for prevention and treatment of malaria is discussed in detail separately. (See "Prevention of malaria infection in travelers" and "Treatment of severe malaria" and "Treatment of uncomplicated falciparum malaria in nonpregnant adults and children".)
Quinoline derivatives include chloroquine, amodiaquine, quinine, quinidine, mefloquine, primaquine, lumefantrine, and halofantrine. These drugs have activity against the erythrocytic stage of infection; primaquine also kills intrahepatic forms and gametocytes (figure 1). The drugs act by accumulating in the parasite food vacuole and forming a complex with heme that prevents crystallization in the Plasmodium food vacuole. Heme polymerase activity is inhibited, resulting in accumulation of cytotoxic-free heme.
Chloroquine — Chloroquine was the first drug produced on a large scale for treatment and prevention of malaria infection. Chloroquine has activity against the blood stages of Plasmodium ovale, P. malariae, and susceptible strains of P. vivax and P. falciparum [1]. Widespread resistance in most malaria-endemic countries has led to decline in its use for the treatment of P. falciparum, although it remains effective for treatment of P. ovale, P. malariae, and, in most regions, P. vivax. (See "Overview of non-falciparum malaria in nonpregnant adults and children".)

No Academic Freedom for the Politically Incorrect
Dr. Narrett taught full time from fall 1993 to summer 1995, at which time he was asked to teach part time as a Visiting Lecturer. During his employment at Framingham State College, Dr. Narrett earned outstanding teaching evaluations from peers and English Department Chair Alan Feldman, who promised Narrett first consideration when a full-time position became available.
Narrett learned of his termination when students complained of not being able to find his name in the fall 1997 course listings. Dr. Feldman had failed to notify Dr. Narrett of his change of mind and, in apparent violation of union rules, failed to inform him in a direct and timely fashion of termination of employment.
For over two years, Dr. Narrett's colleagues have vehemently opposed his views as expressed in his newspaper columns that criticize abortion, divorce on demand, quotas, homosexual advocacy, welfare, and feminism. He has published more than 200 columns and articles on culture and politics which draw on his background in literature and history. Many of his columns have appeared in the New York Times, the Washington Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Chicago Tribune, the Miami Herald, and Human Events.
Harassment began in March of 1995, said Narrett, when English Professor Mary Murphy ordered him to "stop writing columns criticizing feminism." Even after Dr. Narrett filed a formal grievance claiming interference with his "ability to work without intimidation," the college took no corrective action. Two years later, Murphy, a member of the state executive board of the Teachers' Union, opposed Narrett's contract renewal at a faculty meeting in May 1997 because she found Narrett's writings "offensive and not positive to women."
In April 1995, slanderous leaflets about Narrett's personal life were posted around campus. Neither the administration nor faculty promptly condemned the action. Anonymous notes from colleagues directed him to write his columns "on toilet paper." The campus Officer of Human Rights and Affirmative Action, Jack Ling, knew of the problem, yet took no action.
In response, Dr. Narrett requested a meeting to discuss his First Amendment rights and the need for reasoned debate. Before a large crowd of students, faculty, and administrators Narrett spoke on how leftwing ideology on issues of broad social concern has dominated the college campus. Numerous students spoke out, saying that Dr. Narrett is a considerate and dedicated teacher who does not politicize his classes and is concerned for all students.
The following week, 20 faculty and administrators, having invited Dr. Narrett to what was described as a "discussion group," angrily condemned his views and demanded that he "explain" his columns. When Narrett tried to respond, he was told to "be quiet" so his critics could have the floor to themselves.
In a memo dated April 23, 1997, Dr. Helen Heineman, provost and vice president of academic affairs, informed faculty and staff of a newly instituted "Quality Assurance Check of Publications." According to the memo, College President Dr. Raymond Kieft delegated to Heineman's office "the responsibility of performing a final 'check' of all publications that bear the name 'Framingham State College' or give the impression that the activity, program, or service being promoted or described is associated with Framingham State College." The memo stated that quality assurance was not a substitute for proofreading, but it implied a focus on content to determine its "quality."
Bradford Wilson, executive director of the National Association of Scholars, an organization devoted to preserving academic freedom and the free exchange of ideas, wrote in a letter to Heineman that "college and university administrators have traditionally had no authority to perform a 'quality assurance check' of documents that faculty members produce. Academic freedom, by its nature, requires that faculty be able to write as they see fit without administrative oversight."
Dr. Joseph J. Previte, professor of biology, wrote in a memo to college faculty that the loss of Narrett "will diminish diversity on a campus whose administration constantly espouses the necessity of expressions of multicultural diversity. His involuntary departure will be a clear sign of intolerance to differing views on a campus whose motto is 'Live to the truth.'"
Framingham State College is a key campus for implementing education policy in Massachusetts. It played a role in President Clinton's decision to sign his Goals 2000 Act into law at Framingham High School in 1994.

Sunday, There'll Be Swingin', Swayin', and Ramen in the Streets
Several styles of soup will battle it out.
A major part of the Japan Block Fair in Astoria this Sunday is the second installment of the grand slam Street Ramen Contest. Fittingly, it starts at high noon. Competitors must create an "authentic NY-style ramen," which of course does not truly exist (yet). As such, Sunday's contestants include Tabata Noodle, whose chefs will serve cold tantan-men, and the forthcoming Williamsburg shop Yebisu, who will serve abura soba noodles doused with lobster oil. Round one, held in May, ended in a draw; there'll be two more showdowns this year, and on Sunday, it doesn't matter what you wear, just as long as you are there. (You should be okay with long lines and using chopsticks, too.)

Stoll, Sabine (1998). The role of Aktionsart in the acquisition of Russian aspect. First Language, 18(54):351-376.
Full text not available from this repository.
View at publisher
In contrast to what is often assumed in universalist approaches to language acquisition, this paper demonstrates that the acquisition of aspect in at least one language, namely in Russian, is not based on an innate primitive category. The results of a comprehension experiment run with Russian preschool children (age 2-6 years) show that Russian aspect is not acquired in a single step, but rather develops as a slow process. This development is further shown to depend on differences in the intrinsic temporal semantics ('Aktionsart') of the verb. Morphological properties of the verb, by contrast, do not seem to play a significant role in the acquisition process. Thus, aspect acquisition relies on an increasing competence in lexical differentiation of Aktionsarten rather than on a direct linking of conceptual primitives with morphological markers. A very early and prominent role is played by verbs with telic Aktionsart. In line with what has been shown for the acquisition of tense in several languages, the telic Aktionsart might have a bootstrapping effect in the acquisition of aspect, too.

Does anyone have a bottle opener here? No sweat! Now whenever we hold parties in our home (which is rare we have to admit) we can direct people to our Suck UK Bottle Opener/ Fridge Magnet ($20) that's sticking to the fridge. The handy bottle opener has strong adhesive so no matter how tough the bottle may be, the job will be taken care of.
I have one that I got as a gift a few years ago. Let's just say that it looks better than it works.

Our parents never put up with the "I-didn't-know" excuse. We learned as children (hopefully), when we got to a certain age, to not even try.
Why, then, are we so willing to accept it from our favored politicians?
Especially in the case of the President of the United States, politicians have used it so frequently that it has its own political euphemism: "plausible deniability."
Why is this a problem for us? Well, besides the obvious moral and maturity failing it demonstrates, it costs us money. If a political leader doesn't know of waste in his/her organization, he/she is costing us money, with no accountability. In the case of a president, the waste could be in the trillions of dollars.
President Obama seems to have honed this time-honored child's excuse to the level of art form. But those of us who remember our own childhoods recognize the deflection when we see it. The most recent Obama Administration scandal of so-called "death lists" in multiple cities across the United States garnered the same response from Obama and his spokespeople: "He didn't know."
Here's a review of what Barack Obama's spokespeople (and in some cases, Obama himself) claim he didn't know:
- VA Scandal: Veterans left to die because VA administrators put them on wait lists that ensured they would wait longer for life-preserving procedures than other veterans. Obama didn't know. He found out, according to his spokesperson Jay Carney, from the media. Former General Eric Shinseki, head of the Veterans Administration, is now fighting to preserve the battered VA brand.
- NSA Scandal: The NSA was spying not only on American citizens, but also on foreign heads of state. Obama didn't know.
- "Fast and Furious" Scandal: The scandal involving our own government selling arms to Mexican drug cartels, resulting in their being used to murder Americans. Obama didn't know. Again, per Jay Carney, Obama found out about this in the media.
- The IRS Scandal: The Internal Revenue Service admitted to disproportionately targeting conservative organizations for harassment and delays during the 2012 presidential election campaign. Despite the fact that IRS commissioner Douglas Schulman scheduled a reported 118 visits (actually, by some reports, perhaps as many as 161 visits) to the White House during this time (more than all of Obama's cabinet secretaries combined), Obama didn't know. In his congressional testimony, Schulman, when questioned why he would go to the White House so many times, mused that he went for an Easter Egg roll.
- Affordable-Care-Act Scandal (aka "You can keep your plan and your doctor. Period."): There are multiple "I didn't know" opportunities for President Obama in this one. Various sources have claimed that President Obama just didn't have any way to know that what PolitiFact called the "Lie of the Year" in 2013 was actually a lie. But for the sake of simplicity, we will acknowledge only that Obama didn't know that the Obamacare website would have so many failures. Despite having literally 3 years to prepare for its launch, and several billion dollars in resources, Obama didn't know that they weren't prepared for the October 1, 2013 launch date.
When an executive finds out about a significant problem occurring under a reporting manager, he or she expects two things:
- A report about why it happened
- A plan of action that the systemic problem allowing it to happen has been fixed
We certainly have heard multiple versions of President Obama telling the public, 'We will not rest until an investigation is taken, and those perpetrating these acts have been brought to justice." Problem is, in each of the cases in which Obama claims ignorance, his Justice Department does not thoroughly investigate. In the case of the IRS, a private organization had to win a court order against the Obama Administration just to force them to release emails that showed that, indeed, IRS officials in Washington DC knew of the selective harassment of organizations who disagreed politically with the Obama administration. They don't necessarily tie President Obama directly to it. But they clearly show that Obama's public claim of "not even a smidgen of corruption" was patently false.
So it seems that Obama doesn't know, and doesn't want to know.
Perhaps some day we can figure out how many billions, perhaps trillions, of American tax dollars have been wasted under the leadership of someone who apparently believes that the "I didn't know" excuse our parents would never accept is completely acceptable to American voters.
By then, unfortunately, the financial damage will be done. Barack Obama's "I didn't know" problem has become the American taxpayer's problem.

The Mineful customer satisfaction index analysis combines question weights with the value of each response to produce a single 100-point scale index.
The Mineful Satisfaction Index is calculated in a simple manner. It takes in a total of at most 5 questions. As a user you can enter the weight that you want to attach to the specific question. For example, you may choose to have the following questions at an overall level for the customer satisfaction index and the corresponding weights.
Based on the customer responses that are received, each response is allotted a value of the rating scale minus one times the question weight. The sum of this for all the question is then scaled to produce a 100-point index. See formula below and an example for one response.
The overall customer index is then calculated by adding the weighted average responses and then scaling it to 100-point scale. The weights are automatically standardized to add up to 1. See final calculation below: (100/7)((7-1)*.25 + (5-1)*.35 + (1-1)*.15 + (6-1)*.15) = 52.14

Etihad Ten: 2003/04 season
- 01 June 2013 09:01
- Posted by @dclayton_mcfc
With the Maine Road ties finally severed, City finally took up residence in the City of Manchester Stadium officially in June 2003.
Fans had been able to view their seats during the summer and Barcelona were the invited guests for the inaugural home game at Eastlands - as the stadium quickly became known.
With the top tier still not quite ready for public use, the capacity was limited to 36,000 for the game against the Catalan giants and there wasn't an empty seat for this most historic of occasions.
The sun beat down on the sun-drenched crowd as City came out for the first time on to the lush green surface and the Blues rose to the occasion with Nicolas Anelka becoming the first man to score at the stadium with a 34th-minute goal to give Kevin Keegan's men the lead.
Argentine star Saviola equalised for Barca but Trevor Sinclair marked his home debut with a bullet header to make it 2-1 and end the scoring for the afternoon on 54 minutes. It was the perfect start.
Brazilian superstar Ronaldinho looked a little bemused as he was given a standing ovation as he came off in the second-half and impressive though he was, it was the fact he'd turned down a summer move to United that won him a special place in the supporters' hearts!
The showpiece event was special, but the records etched and the result were, in effect, meaningless in terms of the history books. The honour of the first official opponents at the CoMS were, of all teams, Total Network Solutions – a Welsh non-league outfit who had drawn City in the preliminary rounds of the UEFA Cup.
It was City's first European home tie for 24 years having won a back door back into Europe via the Fair Play League so it was perhaps typical that we'd pull a South Wales minnow out of the hat!
Trevor Sinclair, signed in the close season from West Ham, continued his dream start to life in sky blue with a terrific volley on 14 minutes to become the scorer of the first competitive goals at Eastlands and Shaun Wright-Phillips, Jihai Sun, David Sommeil and Anelka completed a 5-0 rout in front of more than 34,000 fans.
The Blues were off and running and intended make their new home a fortress and the feel-good factor continued with a 3-0 opening day away win at Charlton Athletic. Everything seemed to be going City's way and the first ever league game at CoMS followed a week later.
With a crowd of 46,287 crammed into the ground, Harry Redknapp's Portsmouth arrived and soon took on the role of party poopers as Yakubu scored a 34th-minute opener to become the first opposing player to score a goal at the Blues' new home.
And as the game drifted into injury time, they looked like they would become the first team to beat City on their own turf, too, until defender Sommeil popped up to head home a Joey Barton free-kick and earn the hosts a last-gasp point.
Life at the City of Manchester Stadium was well and truly under way and though Arsenal did win 2-1 in the next home game at Eastlands, a 4-1 over Aston Villa a fortnight later saw the Blues earn their first three Premier League points at home and Anelka became the first man to score a hat-trick there, too.
By Christmas, however, City had won just two of nine home Premier League games, suffering demoralising defeats to Leicester City and Middlesbrough though a 6-2 win over Bolton was at least one high.
People started wondering if the Blues could possibly lose their top-flight status in the first season at the City of Manchester Stadium and continue the recent yo-yo existence.
Failure to win the next five games added weight to those fears in what was rapidly becoming a depressing first season in the new surroundings – two wins from the first 13 home league games was a terrible return for a team now battling for their Premier League lives.
So who would you least want to play next? Yep, the Manchester derby! Would United further dent City's survival hopes in the first derby at Eastlands? Well, the answer, thankfully was no as the Blues turned on the style to hand out the biggest derby thrashing for more than 14 years as goals from Robbie Fowler, Jon Macken, Sinclair and a stunning last-minute solo effort from Wright-Phillips wrapped up a 4-1 win.
Though that should have been the platform to go on and secure safety before the last few games, three more home matches passed thereafter without victory meaning the penultimate home games against Newcastle United was an absolute must-win.
With Magpies looking to secure fourth spot and City just three points above the relegation places, the game proved a tense, nervy affair but Paulo Wanchope's second-half header was enough to all-but guarantee safety.
Other results went City's way the weekend after a 2-1 defeat at Middlesbrough and the season ended as it had started, on a high, with a 5-1 win over David Moyes' Everton.
The first season at what is now the Etihad had been anything but dull, but that, as City fans will happily confirm, came with the territory!

The New England Patriots got their big splash out of the way with the signing of WR Brandon Lloyd, and now the focus turns back to adding some needed depth in key positions. No big splashes here, just skipping rocks in the pond, you could say.
Today, it's the Tight End position. The former Denver Bronco (6'4" 252 lbs), undrafted as a rookie from Cal-Davis, adds depth to their league dominating TE tandem of Aaron Hernandez and Rob Gronkowski.
It's an interesting pick-up, as we're looking forward to the possible utilization of Aaron Hernandez lining up as a receiver more.
Last year in Denver, Fells had 19 catches for 256 yards and 3 TDs.
The Patriots look to shore up several areas through free agency this year, signing low risk players with something to prove.
Free agency depth signings so far have included:

It might seem fairly obvious what a whipped cream dispenser does, but there are many different things to consider when buying a whip cream dispenser. Whipped cream dispensers can be made of different materials. Usually the body is made of metal. However this can be anodized aluminum or stainless steel. The aluminum metal body is fine for home use, but stainless steel is preferred for commercial whip cream makers. They stand up better under heavy use and do well in the commercial dishwashers. It's important to have an NSF approved whipped cream dispenser if you use it in a food service business.
While the dispenser body is always metal, the head can be made of high impact plastic, aluminum or stainless steel. Again, plastic heads are fine for home use but you'll want metal for commercial use. Again stainless steel will be preferable as it stands up better to heavy use. Go into any Starbucks and you will see they are typically using an ISI Profi stainless steel professional whipper. These are the workhorse whipped cream dispensers of the industry and their brush stainless steel finish make them an attractive accessory for your home kitchen or bar.
Whatever your needs are, we carry a complete line of all whip cream dispensers for home and professional use. We also carry all necessary replacement parts if you lose them or they wear out. It's more likely that you'll lose a whip cream dispenser gasket or whipped cream charger holder before one actually wears out. We now offer an affordable option for receiving these small parts via US Mail.

Mikel cheats death at airport, as fans mob Chelsea star
By ROMANUS UGWU, Abuja | Feb 13, 2013
Tragedy was averted at the Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium, Abuja, when Nigerian international, John Mikel Obi, narrowly escaped death as he struggled into exhaustion in an attempt to free himself from the surging crowd that defied security to either touch him or have a glimpse of him on arrival from South Africa.
It however took the quick intervention of a combined team of security agents to rescue the totally exhausted Super Eagles star from the fans who were falling and rising on one another to touch him, singing the popular tune, 'Obi kerereke Obi'
Determined to save the Stamford Bridge midfielder from the mobbing crowd, the security operatives rescued him into safety where he was hidden from the fans until the team departed the airport lobby through strong security surveillance into their waiting bus.
Meanwhile, the excessive luggage of the Nigerian contingent delayed the departure of the players for hours as they waited endlessly for the arrival of their multiple luggages to the disappointment of the massive crowd that comprised school children, market men and women, musical troops among others.
The contingents had arrived the airport at exactly 3.11pm but finally left at 5.20pm, afterspending more than one hour waiting disappointingly for the arrival of their luggages.
It was a sight of exhausted pitiable school pupils who had arrived the airport as early as 10.00am to welcome the players, but the disappointed fans could not hold their happiness when the players and officials finally made their ways into the waiting Marcopolo official bus of the Super Eagles with the metallic trophy.
While cheering, the fans excitedly, falling on one another and sustaining injuries, they gave players such as Mikel Obi, Sunday Mbah, Ike Uche a thunderous ovation.

Linux Standard Base (LSB)
The Linux Standard Base was created to lower the overall costs of supporting the Linux platform. By reducing the differences between individual Linux distributions, the LSB greatly reduces the costs involved with porting applications to different distributions, as well as lowers the cost and effort involved in after-market support of those applications.
The LSB Workgroup has released version 4.0.3 of the LSB Software Development Kit (SDK).
The SDK is distributed in LSB-compliant RPM packages from the following location:
Additionally, tarball bundles with an easy install script are available from here:
Linux Distribution Checker and App Checker betas
The LSB Workgroup has now released beta-test versions of the Linux Application Checker and the new Linux Distribution Checker. These are based on the ISPRAS releases of the Application Checker (126.96.36.199) and the Distribution Checker (184.108.40.206).
The first release candidate for version 4.0.3 of the LSB SDK is now available. It is not yet recommended for production work, but barring any serious bugs found in testing, will become the recommended production version, so everyone is encouraged to download and test the SDK on non-production code.
The easiest way to get the RC is to download the tarball bundle from here:

Best Effort Linker issues
Current Best Effort Linker uses a set of fixed paths for the dynamic loader.
Should we concider expanding this to include envormental vars like LSB_LD_SO for path to lsb ld so file and LSB_PLATFORM_LD_SO for the distributions ld.so.
I know making lsb relocatable does not seam a requirement. With items like android using the / may not be a option. So the FHS offset to another directory maybe required. Should Best Effort be made support this.

About Caesar Grasselli
Caesar Augustin Grasselli II was born on February 17, 1901 in Cleveland, Ohio. His great- grandfather founded Grasselli Chemical Company of Ohio, which became a duPont subsidiary in 1928, and his father was vice president of E.I. duPont de Nemours and Company. Grasselli graduated from Cornell University in 1924 with a degree in chemistry and economics.
From January 1925- December 1929, Grasselli worked for Grasselli Chemical Company. In 1930 he was transferred to Wilmington, DE, to work as technical investigator for the duPont Development Department. In January 1936, Grasselli was sent to London as Assistant European Manager of duPont, and was promoted to European Manager. Grasselli returned Wilmington in December 1939 and was called to active duty in May 1942. Grasselli went to England to serve as U.S. Liaison Officer for the invasion of North Africa in the British First Army, retaining the rank of Major. In March 1945, Grasselli was transferred to the U.S. Planning Group for Austria in Caserta, Italy and in May 1945, he went to Vienna as the Deputy Director of the Economics Division of U.S. Forces- Austria. One year later, after 43 months of service, Grasselli was discharged with the rank of Colonel, and he returned to the duPont International Department. While serving, he was awarded the Order of the British Empire in 1944, and the U.S. Legion of Merit in 1945. Grasselli has the distinction of having served under British command longer than any other American military officer.

I know the sugar plum fairy
Her name is Mary
She's halfway inside my arm
Half way does great harm
So she charmed herself to a toilet
And fucked herself gold holy
Silver beams shot out her eyes
When the rain comes
When the rain comes
Then it got worse
I know you well
I wear your smell
Nailed at the hips
I see, you are
One, two, three, four, five
Glad you're not alive
Six, seven, eight, nine, ten
Back to hell again
This sick charade
This ditch I've spade
I've come to clay
I see you are me
One, two, three, four, five
Glad you're not alive
Six, seven, eight, nine, ten
Back to hell again
Catatonic planet
I wont have it

Speech technology is soon going to be in the palm of everyone's hands. 2011 has been named 'year of the voice' and phones seem to be first to adopt it.
Merriam Webster, of dictionary fame, has recently launched a smartphone app that allows users to search for definitions using their keyboards – and also using voice commands.
"If you don't know how to spell a word you can't look it up, but you're looking it up to find out how to spell it. It's Catch 22. Voice search addresses that need." Says Merriam and Webster representative. The app hit the million download mark in the first month.
Apps that translate voice into text, tweet, email or Facebook updates are becoming more and more popular. Keyboards can be difficult to use – voice makes operating your phone easier and more personal. A virtual personal assistant on the US version of the Amazon app will even call you a cab if you tell it you're drunk.
A long way from the days when computers analysed your voice phonetically, speech technology has improved in leaps and bounds. Now it can match voice patterns and matching words against existing words and recordings. This ability will allow all accents to be understood and will allow users to personalise the software to their own speech.
The balance now is for providers to create an app for a smart phone that will refer to cloud computing for the bulk of the work.

New Orleans Saints free-agent safety Darren Sharper was on crutches at the premiere of the Super Bowl DVD chronicling the team's title run. Sharper said he had arthroscopic knee surgery recently to correct a lingering knee issue that forced him to miss games last season.Sharper appeared at the Prytania Theater on Monday night along with teammates Drew Brees, Will Smith and others for the showing.
Sharper didn't want to discuss his future as a free agent. The Saints already lost starting strongside linebacker Scott Fujita from last year's team; he signed with the Cleveland Browns on Sunday.
