Home > Devotees > 63 Nayanmar Stories
The chOza dynasty which in its ancient hierarchy had the king who
gave his own flesh in order to save a pigeon that took shelter, had in its
empire this forest which was spreading the very pleasant smell with the water
of river kAviri flowing through it that brought in its current
sandalwood logs. In the bosom of that forest was a garden of blossoming
flowers on the banks of chan^dhira thIrththam. In that floral
garden at the shade of the tree veNNAval appeared the God whose
feet were hard to find even for Lord vishNu. There was a white elephant of
great austerity that used to anoint the Lord with the water it brought in
the trunk and worshipped with the bunch of flowers everyday. In the same
place there was a spider worshipping the God of gods. It used to build
the web over the Lord's place so that no dry leaf falls on the gold like
lightning matted hair of the Supreme. Both the creatures were doing in their
love for the Graceful one, the service and worship they can offer.
When the elephant came for saluting the Lord it saw the web over the
Lord and finding it unholy it smashed the web with its trunk and did its
pUja. The spider felt bad about the elephant disturbing its service. It again
built a web in service of the Lord above the shiva liN^gam. The following day
also the elephant removed the spider web and spider got irked by the elephant
disturbing its sincere service. It entered the trunk of the elephant and bit.
In the acute pain the elephant dashed against the ground and died. Because of
the crash the spider also died. With the admirable ardent worship of both the
spider and the elephant the place got the name thiruvAnaikkA. The
Merciful one gave boons to the elephant and blessed the spider to rule the
land taking birth in the tradition of chOza kings.
The chOza king chubadhEvan served under the holy feet of the
Dancing Lord of thillai along with the queen kamalavadhi.
Worried about not having an offspring the queen prayed to the God and by Its
grace to her and to the land the spider that did a great service to the Lord
became the fetus. When she was about to give birth to the baby she heard
the astrologers discussing that if the baby was born a n^Azikai (a
unit of time like an hour) later it would rule a big Empire. The queen
ordered immediately to raise her legs up to prevent the birth till the
specified time. At the specified time the loving mother delivered the baby
and yelled with love at him kOchcheN^kaNAnO !! (Oh red eyed king !!).
She died soon. The king brought up his loving son as his life and soul and
gave the kingdom to him and went to do austerities to enter the state of Lord
The king kOchcheN^katchOzar reminiscing the services of his previous
birth with the grace of the Lord wanted to build many wonderful abodes to
the Lord of the five Elements. He went to the place of his previous service
thiruvAnaikkA and constructed a mammoth temple for the
mR^ityuJNjaya. He sent his brave ministers in all the directions
and built huge temples in all the states of the kingdom for the Eight
shouldered Lord. He gave huge donations for the maintenance of those abodes
with heart full of devotion. With his royal umbrella giving shade for a very
big empire he ruled the land. He went to the Dancer in the Common place's
thillai to salute the Golden feet. He constructed mansions for the
disciplined priests of thillai who spent their life in the service of the
Almighty. With the land praising his services he took shelter under the holy
feet of the Lord who is the Supreme owner of all the fame. Let the great and
holy devotion of kOchcheN^kat chOza n^AyanAr with which he built gigantic
marvelous numerous temples for the Lord stay in the mind.

Hi folks,
I cloned an existing OS/2 installation onto a HP nx6125 notebook.
What's happaning is, that after the OS/2 logo is (correctly)
displayed, the screen goes blank until PM starts up. Messages
from device drivers are not visible.
I already tried to remove the logo file to (possibly) avoid a
mode switch, however this didn't help. Any ideas ?

Supreme Court Justice
This part's easy—just finish at the top of your class at one of the best law schools in the country, amass a stellar legal résumé, and be in the right place at the right time without any skeletons in your closet. The only technical qualifications needed to be eligible for the Supreme Court are 12 years as a practicing lawyer or judge and five years in good standing with the bar; however, only the best and brightest legal minds are considered for Supreme Court appointments, and then there are the factors beyond anybody's control.
For example, is the President a Republican or a Democrat? Since the President appoints Supreme Court Justices, he's only going to choose somebody who agrees with his basic judicial philosophy. This is a ridiculous tightrope act—cling to the middle too hard and you won't please either side, but push too far right or left and the necessary votes for confirmation will disappear. Not only that, but because of the desire to maintain a diverse court (an entirely different animal than a divorce court), a specific ethnicity or gender may be required for a given seat. Ultimately, the necessary qualifications for the Supreme Court are a mix of great achievement and more-or-less winning the lotto.

I don't like it, looks more amateur-like to me and feels like they've put in acres of advertising space. But I'm a miserable sod, I don't like change unless I instigate it! Looks like they've just brought the style into line with the slightly different news article format.
I suspect the boards will be quieter for a few days while we adjust to it, then we'll forget it's ever been different.
Although it's annoying that you can't see on the 'summary' page who made the last post - I won't remember what day/time I read a reply or how many there were, but I'll probably remember if I've read someone's opinion.

Sounds like an infection yeah, though my bladder does tend to want to empty itself when I can't normally as well, as gets worse before I go on road trips etc.
But it sounds to me like its not phycological, unless your brain is physically sending urine to your bladder because of a signal its sending out, and far too quickly.
Or are you going when you get home, even though you are feeling like you are full, and only going a small amount? If you are, I would certainly think an infection.
I'd still go to the doctors again like people have been saying, and explain it.

I think windows always expects to be on the first partion of
the primary drive. So, since it's still based on DOS, that
has to be C:\. If I remember my old DOS batch file
programming, there was a way to alias a drive letter, but I
don't know if that would help. I'll look into it.

Charleston, W.Va. (AP) -- Another car dealership in West Virginia has agreed to make good on a sales promotion that offered consumers free gas.
Attorney General Darrell McGraw said Thursday that Bert Wolfe Ford Porsche Audi & Toyota will provide $450 worth of gas to consumers who file complaints with McGraw's office.
The agreement stems from a promotion the Charleston dealership held last September.
People had to come to the dealership to see if they had won an automobile, cash or a $450 gas card.
Gas card winners were told they had to pay a $5 registration free to freegascentral.com. Winners would receive a $25 gift card for every $100 in gasoline receipts they submitted to the group.
Two other dealerships in the state agreed earlier this year to make restitution for similar promotions involving freebeegas.com

You do realize that there is no such thing as Linux 7.3 and Linux 9.0,
don't you? Perhaps you're running RedHat Linux 7.3 or RedHat Linux
9.0, both of which are operating system distributions. Linux is just
a kernel though, and is currently at 2.6.0-test11. Thought I'd
clarify that.

The fiery Dutchman invariably gets involved in personality clashes with the directors and he also discovers young talent that other coaches might have missed.
His two-year stint at Bayern Munich was no exception. Van Gaal slunk out the back door when he was fired in 2011 after a series of disagreements with the club's high profile directors, so much so that club president Uli Hoeness recently said that the Dutchman considered himself to be "the father of God."
Yet, Van Gaal, now in charge of the Dutch national team, also left an impressive legacy, harnessing the talents of wingers Franck Ribery and Arjen Robben and turning Bayern into an aggressive, attacking outfit.
Possibly his most important contribution, though, was to recognise the potential of forward Thomas Mueller, the architect of Tuesday's astonishing 4-0 win over Barcelona in the Champions League.
Mueller, who scored two goals and was involved in the other two against the stunned Catalans, was expecting to be loaned or transferred from Bayern until Van Gaal turned him into a first-team regular in the 2009-10 season.
Mueller, who later described Van Gaal as his mentor, responded with 13 goals in his first full season, including a hat-trick against VfL Bochum which effectively clinched the Bundesliga.
Since then, he hasn't looked back. He scored four goals at the 2010 World Cup, including two in the 4-1 last 16 tie against England, and has become one of Bayern's influential players. Yet he is something of an unlikely hero.
If he were to walk down the street it is unlikely Mueller, with his ungroomed mop of hair and unusually skinny legs, would be mistaken for a footballer.
On the pitch, he does not terrorise opponents with his dribbling in manner of Ribery and Robben, nor does he score goals at the same prolific rate as Mario Gomez and Mario Mandzukic.
Instead, Mueller has emphasised that his gift is his understanding of space.
He demonstrated his uncanny knack to find it against Barcelona, popping up on the left wing, the right wing and in the penalty area, invariably unmarked, to create havoc in the Catalans' improvised back four.
He scored the first goal as he stooped to head Dante's header in the net. For the second, he rose at the far post to head the ball into the path of Gomez who turned it in from close range.
His involvement in the third was more dubious as he blocked Jordi Alaba, leaving Robben with a clear run on goal. For the fourth goal, he was in the right place at the right time again as he turned David Alaba's cross into the goal from close range.
"You can reflect about a game as much as you want beforehand, but on the pitch you must rely on your instinct," he once said in an interview.
"There's sometimes logic in where the ball is going and maybe I simply have the gift for reading it.
"Of course, I'd like to play like Lionel Messi but I know I can't.
"I have to find my own ways of being successful. Some things you can learn by training, but sometimes you have a certain instinct, a feel for space. I'm happy I have that capability."
German media have labelled him the "Raumdeuter", which means "interpreter of space" and is a term usually associated with interior design.
Bayern lost 4-0 on their last visit to the Nou Camp four years ago, when Mueller was still in Bayern's youth division, but the 23-year-old was convinced it would not happen again.
"I made my contribution. It went very well," he said of Tuesday's game. "You're fired up for a Champions League semi-final. It feels good when it ends like this.
"I knew I'd only be able to do a good job if I covered a lot of ground. 4-0 is a dream result. We've all witnessed the magic of Camp Nou often enough. But we want to show the world it won't work on us."

Eid Passport expansion leads to redevelopment plan
Security technologies company Eid Passport's new Minot location is exceeding expectation with revenues 64 percent more than originally projected, at $28 million so far. It's done more hiring as well - 44 full-time positions.
At the ribbon cutting event, Eid Passport Founder and Chairman Steve Larson unveiled a redevelopment plan for downtown Minot that will not only help Minot bounce back from flooding but also to keep downtown the city's cultural core.
United Pulse and Minot ag complex are a natural fit
Alliance Grain Trading subsidiary United Pulse now occupies Minot's Value-Added Agricultural Complex. The industry leader will efficiently buy, process and ship North Dakota crops to the world using the state's top pulse production, Port of North Dakota intermodal facility and rail-served land in Minot's ag complex.
United Pulse President Murad Al-Katib said he plans to make Minot a North American processing center much like his 78-acre operation in Turkey. Acquisition and build out of the facility represents a $12 million investment in Minot's Ag Complex. Construction began last week.
Value-added Agriculture
The Minot Area Development Corporation is working with a California-based company, Crunchfuls, Inc. as they develop a new ready-to-eat nutrition bar made from North Dakota crops including dry beans, peas, lentils and chickpeas.
Crunchfuls recently received a marketing grant from the North Dakota Department of Commerce to assist in marketing the product to the military as a recovery snack bar. Crunchfuls currently distributes other products including breakfast cereal and snacks through Whole Foods Market.
MADC is committed to growing the value-added ag processing business through Minot's Agricultural Park. The proximity to North Dakota pulse crop growers makes Crunchfuls a natural fit for Minot.
Housing study results released
A new housing study will help city leadership plan for Minot's housing demand for the next 15 years by taking into account changing needs from the petroleum industry and Minot Air Force Base. Many of the needed units are already under construction, about 975 according to the survey.
The study forecasts that by 2026:
Minot's population will be 56,240.
Income and wages of Minot residents will increase.
Poverty rates will decline.
Minot's importance as a regional trade center will increase.
Available, affordable housing is vital to economic growth and will help Minot's population grow to 50,000, a goal of city leaders and MADC. Contact MADC at 701-852-1075 with further questions.
Minot International Airport receives grant
Minot's award-winning international airport recently received $1.2 million from the MAGIC Fund for parking lot and terminal expansions and improvements. The parking lot will receive 285 additional parking spaces, and the terminal upgrade will help accommodate increasing traffic. In 2010 Minot increased airline boarding 36 percent.
Minot International Airport received the 2010 Commercial Airport of the Year award at the Upper Midwest Aviation Symposium.
Halliburton Construction Update
Construction of a cement facility is nearing completion on the 37-acre site in the Great Plains Energy Park®. Winter construction also included the extension of water and sewer lines to the property in preparation for Phase II and III-slated for this spring.
Eid Passport Begins Construction
Downtown Minot has a new neighbor.
Eid Passport
recently announced that it has begun construction on the former St. Leo's Church Community Center. The site will serve as a support center for the access management company, based in Portland, OR.
MADC President, Jerry Chavez hopes the revitalization of the facility will bolster even more downtown improvements in the future. "Downtown is such a vital part of our city, and I'm pleased to see Eid leading the way in downtown's revitalization."
Minot's Strong Economy
Minot's economy continues to grow as evidenced by figures released by the North Dakota State Tax office. An increase of 16.2% or $255.1M in sales and 17.9% or $310M either for sales and purchases were reported by Commissioner Cory Fong.
Additionally the city of Minot set an all-time record for permit valuation of nearly $100M, up from the previous record of $80M in 2008. These indicators point to a healthy and expanding local economy.
Allegiant to offer Minot to Phoenix-Mesa service
Allegiant recently announced new, nonstop travel service between Minot and Phoenix-Mesa. Flights will begin March 3rd with twice weekly service Thursday and Sunday. The company, known for its exceptional travel deals, will introduce the new service to Magic City residents with fares as low as $89.99* one-way.
Allegiant has been offering service between Minot and Las Vegas since October, 2010.

Introducing our Local Stars!
We reveal to you our best local businesses across Europe
Introducing Groupon's Local Stars! Over the last few weeks, here at Groupon HQ we've been busy cherry-picking a collection of the best local businesses across Europe who we're recognising as our Local Stars. These fantastic businesses will be partnering with us, giving you the opportunity to explore and discover all that makes your neighbourhood the best in town.
One of the (many) perks of having Groupon merchants all over the UK, is that we get to visit them. I do love a good holiday and how on earth can you call it work when you get to board a train to Edinburgh and soak up the sights.
With November in full swing and Christmas soon upon us, Groupon warmly welcomes in the uniquely British tradition of cheeky songs and slapstick comedy, as well as an array villains and dames…its Pantomime season!
My first day at Groupon HQ was to start slightly differently to those during the competition. I arrived via bicycle as opposed to cab or train and instead of being part of a group of excitable candidates, I was alone.
Over the past few months, Groupon Towers has lifted its cast iron gate and welcomed in crew from the BBC to film the journey of five young job candidates, all vying for a fast track position at Groupon in the exciting new BBC Three show – 'The Insider'.

Nikon has released its new Coolpix P7000 in the market. The Nikon Coolpix measures 114.2×77.0x44.8mm and weighs 310 grams.
This new Coolpix device from Nikon is a 10.1 megapixel camera with 1/1.7 inch CCD sensor and 7.1x wide angle f/2.8-5.6 optical zoom (28mm to 200mm, F2.8 to F8.0) with 2 ED elements and built in ND filter. The camera also has an optical viewfinder.
Nikon's P7000 has auto focus, 99 point auto/manual selection auto focus, 1 point auto focus (center, normal and wide), subject tracking and face detection. The closest distance that the camera can focus on is 2cm from the subject.
The P7000 has a shutter speed of 1 – 2/2000 seconds in auto mode and 60-1/2000 seconds in manual mode.
Nikon says that at full resolution, ISO settings of the Coolpix P7000 can be taken up to 6400 and at reduced resolution with Night mode can reach up to 12,800. Nikon has included a basic image editing software within the P7000 which can be accessed using the LCD screen on the camera. Other features of the P7000 include automatic exposure adjustment for portraits, motion tracking autofocus for moving subjects and VR lens shift anti shake technology with anti blur firmware processing. The camera shifts the lens to stabilize images.
The P7000 has an assist lamp and a self timer. The camera can shoot continuously at approximately 0.7 shots per second.
Nikon's Coolpix P7000 runs on Nikon's new Expeed C2 image processor that is said to reduce image noise, create better tonal gradation and capture enhanced audio.
Flash features of Nikon's P7000 include auto with red eye reduction, slow sync, rear curtain sync, fill flash, manual etc. The camera is compatible with external Nikon Speedlight flash models.
A hotshoe on top of the camera supports an external flash or microphone. The Nikon Coolpix P7000 also has a built in pop up flash and stereo microphone, an HDMI out, USB port and microphone jack.
The P7000 has three mode dials on the top. One is for changing the shooting mode; another is for accessing exposure settings; and a secondary dial that can be used to change the white balance settings, ISO sensitivity, picture resolution, screen histogram details etc. The first dial for changing shooting modes can be used to access up to three user defined custom shooting modes.
The P7000 can record 720p HD video at 24 frames per second, and has a 4 inch LCD screen at the rear to playback footage. It supports microSD, SDHC and SDXC cards that can be used to expand its storage capacity.
Nikon's P7000 outputs raw files and Jpegs, and comes with ViewNV 2 software for converting NRW+ raw files. The P7000 outputs video in H.264 format.
Apparently meant to compete with Canon's PowerShot G11, the Nikon Coolpix P7000 has similar features is priced about $500.
Nikon has also launched two other cameras in its Coolpix range, the Nikon Coolpix S8100 and Coolpix S80.

Home to what is arguably the largest collection of digitized pornography ever assembled, Videobox has been ruling the online porn world for years. Touting 720p HD videos from top-tier studios and A-list stars as well as amateur productions shot with everyday homegrown honeys, Videobox aims to cover all pornographic bases and very nearly does so. (Where's the early-morning-in-a-french-bakery scene I'm after, VB? Where?) Videobox, arguably the most comprehensive porno site currently going, is utterly unmissable.
For well over a decade, Twistys has been filling porno fans' plates with glamorous adult entertainment that bridges softcore and hardcore for a style that is distinctly Twistys' own. Now boasting 1080p HD videos to better showcase stunning models like Kayla Kayden and Valentina Nappi, Twistys is a network offering exclusive porn from When Girls Play and Twistys Hard for a more comprehensive take on sexual excitement. With Treats galore just waiting to dazzle you with their undeniable erotic charm and charisma, Twistys is a babe-lover's paradise.
For many, hardcore pornography begins and ends with Evil Angel, the company started by John "Buttman" Stagliano back in 1989. Home to porn's most accomplished and compelling directors and performers, not to mention a litany of depraved, debauched acts that'll redden the cheeks of even the most seasoned porn viewer, Evil Angel is sexual deviancy digitized, the hottest and hardest porn currently produced in the USA, Europe, and elsewhere. What are you gonna do, pass up the perfect opportunity to find out just how much of a deviant you really are? Now that would really be a sin.
If you've never been a Brazzers member and been thrilled by your favorite pornstar's HD anal debut or the pairing of two preferred babes for an aggressive lesbian hookup that puts all sapphic porn to shame, now's the time. Heavily discounted and online for over ten years, Brazzers, with new site Moms in Control in tow, is bigger, bolder, and better than ever. Don't even consider not exploring the annals and anals of the internationally notorious Brazzers, "the world's best porn site."
Having photographed nude and sexually occupied women for well over two decades, you could say Denys Defrancesco knows a thing or ten about erotica and pornography. Put his experience to the test by peeling back the curtains closing Defrancesco's extensive DDF Network and examining its worth. Have you found yourself interested in lesbian whipping and caning sessions, oil-aided footjobs, deep-throat fellatio, or the delightful Hungarian goddess known to mortals as Eve Angel? Then it's likely you'll find DDF Network as thrilling as a virtual roll in the hay with Ms. Angel herself and a few of her girlfriends. After all, in a way that's kind of what DDF Network is all about.
If you're hardly a stickler for pornographic realism, Naughty America won't be for you. If, on the other hand, you desire fantastic sexual scenarios ripped from your daydreams, rendered in stunning 1080p HD and 4K Ultra-HD videos, starring women so fucking enticing they seem like a fantasy-made-flesh, on such sites as My Sister's Hot Friend, Wives on Vacation, Naughty Office, and Diary of a Nanny, the 40-plus-sites of Naughty America should keep you very much entertained and eager for more of this network's unique sexual thrills!
Easily one of the top five hardcore studios in the USA, Elegant Angel has produced more incredible porn movies than you can shake a dick at! With a changing roster of directors leading the studio into a new era and bringing a marvelously appetizing roster of sexy talents along for the ride, Elegant Angel invites you to sign-up, log-in, and take a good long look at one of our most valued porn studios' latest offerings.
Since 2010, Team Skeet has been recruiting the tastiest teen talents in all of porn, slipping them into sexually-charged situations, then shooting them in HD video as they're fucked every which way but loose. On a roster of sites now numbering an impressive 27 (including new ventures Teens Love Anal, My Babysitters Club, and Family Strokes), Team Skeet dicks, dazzles, and dumps cum on (or in) porn's babiest new babes. Be warned: once you check out Team Skeet you won't be able to look away.

The lightweight concept has inspired every element of the M5 Sedan's construction, and the result is a total power-to-weight ratio of just 3.7 kg/hp. It's not just the weight that's typical of sports cars: the M5 Sedan's greater agility, higher on-bend speeds and excellent handling also come straight from the racetrack. Other weight-cutting features include the all-aluminium chassis, low-weight front section and V10 engine itself: the latter's structure is exceptionally compact and light. In short, BMW knows that low weight makes for high speed.

Car enthusiasts know that finding that missing part for a project can be downright frustrating. But the annual Winter Swap Meet offers collectors from all over an opportunity to put the pieces together to complete their dream automobile.
"Last year we had participation from Arizona, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, Pennsylvania - even a family from Canada," said Norm Bailey, spokesman for the event.
The meet will be held in the Junior Fair Building at the Washington County Fairgrounds on Saturday and vendors will be selling Model A, Model T and early Dodge and Chevrolet parts, as well as some complete cars. There are usually around 65 vendors and, while spaces are available up to the day of the event, tables are limited and go quickly.

Car collectors and enthusiasts look over some car parts and other items available at a past Winter Swap Meet. This will be the fourth year for the event, which will be held at the Washington County Fairgrounds.
"The majority of auto parts will be for pre-war vehicles, mostly Model A and Model T Ford. Cars for sale will be a 1926 Chevrolet Sedan, 1930 Model A coupe, Model T coupe and a Model T truck," said Bailey. "We will have vendors selling steel truck beds, high compressions heads, reproduction parts, power coating services, new Model T timers, new Model T drums and the nationally known 'Coil Doctor' will be there to provide repair services for KW Coils."
Ralph Lockhart of Beverly is president of Country Roads T&A Club, which has been in existence for 12 years.
"We got started when a group of guys with these cars decided to get together," he said. "We build them to drive them and we work on our own and each others.' It's really a social club."

There are currently about 40 members of the group which meets once a month. They would like to attract younger members to keep the love of these old cars going.
Lockhart, 71 and retired from the Air Force, said he personally owns four Model T Fords, a 1930 Model A, a 1936 Ford and a 1941 Ford. He is currently putting together a 1926 Ford.
"These cars were built to last and I was born and raised on old cars, so that's what I like," he said, noting that he and his wife have driven to places like Vermont and South Dakota in some of their classic cars.
"We go on tours and to some of the shows but we started this swap meet five years ago because we decided we needed to have something closer to home."
The event is sponsored by the Country Roads T&A Club, the Mid-Ohio Valley Mustang and Ford Club and the Marietta-Washington County Convention and Visitors Bureau. Admission is $5 per person, with children under 12 are free. Proceeds are used to offset the club's annual expenses and the remaining funds are donated to local organizations.

Do jazz hands and a bikini a video make? Spencer Pratt thinks so.
MummiTroll - "Ursa Major" - This really marginal Russian band has managed to produce one of the most bizarre, crazy, amazing, sexy music videos we've ever seen!
"Little Wings" as performed by Mark Gormley is an audio treat on its own. Add in a mustache, dance moves, and a green screen and well its just art.
She's like a mix between Ke$ha and Lady Gaga except she's totally not. She's just a very unique individual.
Hundreds of average bands with ugly lead singers could be heard collectively saying, "why didn't we think of that?"
Check out this music video by rapper David Rolas. It's filled with booty shaking, motorcycle madness, more booty, and it's featured in the new movie "Crank." In theaters September 1.
We show you two celebs and you tell us who you'd rather…you know! Compare your results with the rest of our visitors to see how your tastes match up.
It never fails, the hottest girls are always the ones you can't have. Video game characters are no exception. They're sexy, they're fine, and they're unattainable.
Check out our video interview with The Oohlas where we discuss the local music scene (or lack thereof) in Los Angeles and tell each other jokes that aren't all that funny.
Fake boobs aren't the only things Heidi Montag recently acquired. She also picked up some sweet wizarding skills at Hogwart's.
Heidi Montag took the form of a great white shark and nearly swallowed her Hills arch enemy LC. Unfortunately, neither was injured.
The Sin Destroyers are "the Christianest rock band," and will obliterate any doubt of their rock prowess with the video for "Gifts to the World."
Heidi Montag is far from pretty and appears to have no arm in this picture. We personally hope Harrison Ford finds her and beats her down for killing his wife. Oh, and for making that face too.

For dessert, we stole a tasty treat from the cancer-fighting recipes in SELF's 2011 Women's Cancer Handbook. (Find a full week's worth of stay-healthy recipes here). The frozen yogurt with apple-pear sauce was calling to us, so we diced up the fruit, tossed it in a pot with some water and maple syrup (confession: we didn't have syrup so used honey instead — still delish!) and let it simmer for 15 minutes while we ate our main course. Before we knew it, our mouths were watering as the aroma of roasting apples and pears spread through the entire (admittedly, small) apartment. We added a bunch of nutmeg — and spontaneously threw in some cinnamon, too — let it cool, and then dished it onto some low-fat froyo. Tasted like apple-pie, minus the calorie-filled crust!

The single, easiest way to keep track of all the stocks that matter...
Your own personalized stock watchlist!
It's a 100% FREE Motley Fool service...
It's been a long road for American International Group (NYSE: AIG ) since the financial crisis, but the insurer seems to finally be back on its feet and ready to move forward. Though there are still challenges ahead, AIG is taking steps to position itself for greatness and is on its way to realizing some big goals. Here are the top three reasons AIG is poised for greatness, and how you can cash in on its progress.
Reason 1: Focus
The financial crisis not only took the wind out of AIG's once-billowing sails, but it added heavy burdens to the company as it made its way through the storm. With the final traces of governmental ownership shed in late last year, the weight has mostly been lifted, and AIG has refocused its energy on long-term goals.
Not only has the insurer dropped its ownership matters, it's also shed a number of non-core businesses that put a drag on its traditional operations. Though there is a new hiccup with the sale of its aircraft leasing operations, AIG has largely focused on renewed vigor in its insurance operations, expansion, and reductions in non-essential programs.
Focus has also been a cornerstone of management's approach to the company's balance sheet and shareholders. Though investors and analysts alike have been predicting and calling for a dividend or share buyback, management made it clear that neither of those would occur until other priorities were completed. One of the main priorities being liabilities management -- by reducing their liabilities, the company now carries a lighter interest expense, leaving more capital available for other priorities or disbursements.
Reason 2: Expansion
AIG made a big investment in China last last year, with a $500 million price tag. In its work with the PICC Group in China, AIG has already realized a 10% return as of the first quarter. With a renewed confidence in the opportunities the People's Republic provides, AIG is now partnering with PICC Life Insurance to form an agency distribution company, of which AIG will own 24.9%. Expanding outside of the property and casualty insurance lines their initial investment afforded, AIG is pressing forward into a new middle class that will be reaching out to providers for the first time in search of new insurance products that meet their needs. Though the current expansion news speaks mostly of activity in China, the moves made by AIG prove that the company is willing to put its money on the line in emerging markets that afford new opportunities -- and that it can succeed in doing so.
Reason 3: Renewal
With its recent title of hedge-fund darling, AIG has had a renaissance among Wall Street elite. And with renewed vigor for its stock from top money managers, the insurer only has to wait a bit longer for that feeling to spread beyond Wall Street and Broad. Once Main Street gets on board, the insurer's stock will soar.
Renewed confidence in the company itself will also propel investors to its shares, leaving behind the villainous reputation that it acquired during the financial crisis. With management open to discuss the company's successes and shortcomings, shareholders should feel that openness to disclosure lift some negative sentiments toward the company as it moves forward.
Before the financial crisis, AIG was a great power in the financial sector. But it may have taken the precipitous fall during the crisis for the insurer to realize what it takes to achieve true greatness. With its focus aligned with long-term success, aggressive strategies propelling it forward, and renewed confidence on Wall Street, AIG is poised to launch itself to greater heights. For investors, this is an opportunity to rise with the insurer from the ashes and cash in on greatness.
AIG's stock has been a favorite among hedge fund managers. Have they identified the next big multi-bagger, or are the risks facing the insurance giant still too great? In The Motley Fool's premium report on AIG, Financials Bureau Chief Matt Koppenheffer breaks down the key issues that you need to know about if you want to successfully invest in this stock. Simply click here now to claim your copy, and you'll also receive a full year of key updates and expert analysis as news continues to develop.

Activating or Replacing Your Phone
December 3, 2012
If you made someone's holiday happy this year with a cell phone from kajeet — or if you received one — the first thing you need to do is to activate it. And this can be done entirely online, whether you purchased a phone from our website or will be bringing your own used, inactive Sprint® device. To help, we've provided the answers to some frequently asked questions below:
What is "activation?"
Prior to use, each kajeet account needs to be set up with parent (or guardian) information and assigned a phone number. Once you activate your phone, you will automatically be enrolled in the rate plan you chose when the phone was purchased. If you are bringing your own eligible device (learn more about this program here), you will be prompted to select a rate plan at this time.
The phone I want to activate is for a NEW kajeet user (someone who has not had a kajeet phone before). What do I do?
Activating your kajeet phone is easy! Click here to get started. Be sure to have the phone you are activating with you (whether it was purchased from our website or you are activating a used, inactive Sprint® device), as you will need information found on the handset for the first step.
I'm already a kajeet customer. I want to transfer my current kajeet service to a new/different phone. What do I do?
If you are bringing your own device, please contact our Customer Care team at 1-866-452-5338.
If you purchased a new device from kajeet, just follow these steps to switch your current service to a new/diferent phone (for an existing kajeet user):
1. Log into kajeet here.
2. Go to your Account Summary page. Scroll down the page to access the "Add a Phone" tab, as shown below.
3. Click on the "Add a Phone" tab. You will see an option that reads "Replace a Phone." Click on the link right underneath (the one we circled below).
4. You will be asked to select the phone you would like to replace/upgrade (in the event you have multiple phones on your account) and for the ESN or MEID of your phone (be sure to have your new phone handy during this process!).
What if I am moving/porting my existing cell phone number to kajeet?
You will need to contact kajeet Customer Care if you are porting (moving) a number from another cell phone service provider to kajeet. Have a copy of your bill and/or account login information with you when you contact kajeet Customer Care. While we are working to make this process as fast as possible, it can take up to 3-4 days to port a number (we are dependent upon other telecommunications companies, and they are all busy at this time of year).
How can I reach kajeet Customer Care and what are the kajeet holiday Care hours?
Our Customer Care team is available Monday through Friday, from 9:00 am ET to 10:00 pm ET and on Saturday from 9:00 am ET to 6:00 pm ET. Our Care department can be reached at 1-866-452-5338 or at firstname.lastname@example.com. Kajeet Customer Care is closed on Christmas Day to give our hardworking care personnel the day off with their families.
Our Holiday Care Hours are as follows:
- Saturday, December 22: 9:00 am ET to 10:00 pm ET
- Sunday, December 23: 9:00 am ET to 10:00 pm ET
- Monday, December 24: 9:00 am ET to 10:00 pm ET
- Tuesday, December 25: CLOSED
- Wednesday, December 26: 9:00 am ET to 10:00 pm ET
- Thursday, December 27: 9:00 am ET to 10:00 pm ET
- Friday, December 28: 9:00 am ET to 10:00 pm ET
- Saturday, December 29: 9:00 am ET to 6:00 pm ET
Care is already busy and we do expect them to continue to be busy after the holidays. Avoid the wait and activate online!
Happy Holidays!
Sprint is a trademark of Sprint.
Do Cell Phones Keep Your Kids Up at Night?
February 16, 2012
A recent article in the Wall Street Journal revealed that kids today are getting less sleep than recommended – and suggests that advances in new technology may partially be at fault. No longer are books and radio considered the main culprits. Now television, the Internet and cell phone activity are what researchers believe are causing kids to get less sleep – and late night texts, calls or emails certainly don't help (something our free parental controls can prevent!).

In a surprise move on Tuesday, Disney announced their acquisition of Lucasfilm for a reported $4.05 billion in cash and stock. The sale includes the rights to all Lucasfilm properties (yes, even that one); along with the effects house Industrial Lights & Magic. The news comes paired with the announcement of a new Star Wars film, slated for a 2015 release. To the relief of most Star Wars fans, George Lucas will apparently not be directly involved in the new Star Wars film (he'll be taking the role of "Creative Consultant"). Unfortunately for Star Wars fans, the treasured series is shifting ownership to another megacorp legendary for their ability to leverage childhood innocence and wonder into mass-produced plush dolls and triple-dip DVD box sets.
George Lucas has not commented on his future plans after giving up the Star Wars franchise, but possibilities include buying the moon and creating a life-sized money pit filled with actual gold coins.

"I want to talk about the fact that Bernard Hopkins disappointed a lot of fans tonight. That's what he did. He disappointed a lot of fans. I was looking forward to a great fight, and I was looking forward to going out there performing, and Bernard cut my night short."
Hopkins told Kellerman, however, that he wanted to continue fighting but Russell would not let him.
"I told the ref that I could continue with one arm. He said, 'No, you can't continue because you've got a lump on your top shoulder' and he stopped it. He walked away and that was it," said Hopkins, who then explained his version of the fight-ending sequence.
"I was backing up, and he picked me up. Look at my two legs [watching replay.] He picked me up off of my feet. He threw me down on my shoulder, and I rolled onto my shoulder. There's the knot right there that popped up. My shoulder is out."
De La Hoya said he saw the shoulder before Hopkins left to be hospitalized.
"I was walking toward the press conference, and Bernard was walking out to go to the hospital, and we stopped and we talked and I asked him if he was okay," said De La Hoya.
"Then he showed me his left shoulder, and it looked like there was a bone sticking up out of it. I mean, Bernard Hopkins is not a guy to cry foul. Bernard Hopkins is a guys who will fight to the end, so this was obviously a serious injury."
The main event overshadowed an exciting undercard, highlighted by Antonio DeMarco overcoming a deficit on the cards to score an 11th-round knockout over Jorge Linares for the WBC's vacant lightweight title.
"Please don't forget about the Fight of the Year, Linares versus DeMarco. I'll tell you one thing, Linares is an excellent boxer," said De La Hoya.
"What a masterful performance Linares gave us, but DeMarco has the heart of a lion. That was an incredible performance and it obviously calls for a rematch. It was an absolutely incredible fight."
Former IBF junior welterweight titleholder Paulie Malignaggi earned his third straight win in as many consecutive welterweight fights by unanimous decision over Orlando Lora. And unbeaten junior welterweight Danny Garcia earned a spirited split-decision slugfest over former world titleholder Kendall Holt.
"Once again, we saw Paulie Malignaggi. The Magic Man is back, so I'm very excited for him. I'm also very excited about Danny Garcia," said De La Hoya.
"Danny Garcia showed tremendous heart and that he can be in there and dominate the big players at 140 pounds, because Kendall Holt was no joke, let me tell you."
In addition, there were comeback victories by wrongfully imprisoned cruiserweight Dewey Bozella and hard-hitting junior middleweight Freddy Hernandez which highlighted the non-televised undercard, although Bozella's replays were shown later.
The 52-year-old Bozella overcame a rocky first round to scored a four-round, unanimous decision over Larry Hopkins, and Hernandez rebounded from a first-round knockout loss in his previous fight to decision former welterweight titleholder Luis Collazo over 10 rounds, dropping Collazo in the eighth.
"Dewey Bozella, I was so proud to be around him and so excited," said De La Hoya. "He taught us once again that dreams do come true."

Almost Everything About Nicki Minaj is Just Entirely Too Much
8/4/2014 11:15 AM PDT, by Emily Trainham
If there's just one thing that comes to mind when you think of Nicki Minaj, it's that giant ol' ass of hers, right? But if there are two things that come to mind when you think of Nicki Minaj, it would be her ass and also her incredible ability to be obnoxious. Those are her gifts, guys, and she managed to bring the both together in her brand new music video. All the gifts!
That's the little teaser up there to her video for "Anaconda." You might be confused, because it sort of appears that she just did a music video to a remix of "Baby Got Back," but apparently this is her latest single. See what I mean about that obnoxiousness? It's all coming together, now, huh?
Still, it's always mesmerizing to see Nicki shake that behind, and she does plenty of that in these few precious seconds. Look on the bright side here, friends. The big, bright, jiggly, magnificent side.

North Coast and Cascades Network (NCCN)
Parks in this Network
North Coast and Cascades Network
Quick Links
Located in the Pacific Northwest, the North Coast and Cascades Network (NCCN) is composed of seven park units located in northwestern Oregon and the western half of Washington (state).
NCCN parks are in the mountains and lowlands of the Pacific Northwest, from the Pacific Ocean to the east slope of the Cascades Range. Tall mountains and a maritime climate produce a tremendous environmental gradient, varying in elevation from sea level to glaciers, and in annual precipitation from almost 200 inches to less than 20 inches per year. These environmental patterns shape the variety and distribution of plant and animal communities and ecosystems encompassed within the parks.
This website delivers information about these resources, the Network's Inventory & Monitoring Program, and the scientific activities underway. Learn more about specific topics by exploring the links on the left or visit the park units pages to discover the particular resources found at each of these special places. From these pages you can access study results, data, and related analysis about the natural resources investigated by the NCCN, its parks, and research and land management partners. Park managers use this information make to decisions about park resources.
Featured Information
Landbird Trends in NCCN Parks, 2005-2012
National parks in NCCN can fulfill vital roles as refuges for bird species dependent on late-successional forests and as reference sites for assessing the effects of land-use/land-cover changes on bird populations throughout the Pacific Northwest. Long-term monitoring of landbirds provides information that can inform decisions about park management issues such as visitor impacts, fire management, and effects of introduced species...

In addition to the need-based financial aid program, Hampden-Sydney offers several scholarships, awarded without regard to financial need, which recognize outstanding academic and extracurricular achievement. All applicants for admission to the College are automatically considered for Academic Scholarships. Additional information is available from the Office of Admissions.
Honors Scholarships. Hampden-Sydney's Honors Council will consider applicants with exceptional academic, leadership, and personal qualifications for the College's prestigious Allan, Venable, and Patrick Henry Honors Scholarships. These awards provide scholarship stipends and are renewable annually, provided the Honors Scholar continues to meet the scholarship requirements.
The Honors Council reviews the academic performance of all freshmen at the end of the spring semester. Those freshmen who are not already Honors Scholars but who have outstanding academic records are invited to apply for a Madison Scholarship during the fall of their sophomore year (or, in the case of transfer students, in the fall following their initial matriculation at the College). The applications are carefully reviewed during the early part of the spring semester, and the recipients of the Madison Scholarships are announced by the Dean of the Faculty. The Madison Scholarships provide a stipend and are renewable for the senior year, provided the Madison Scholar continues to meet the scholarship requirements. Moreover, Honors Scholars who submit a PROFILETM application and demonstrate College-determined financial need in excess of their stipend receive additional grants, including those from applicable federal and state resources, that meet 100% of their College-determined financial need. Eligibility for such additional need-based grants must be demonstrated annually by filing the FAFSA or the PROFILE application before the College's priority deadline.
Honors Scholars participate in the College's Honors Program, which gives students unusual latitude for intellectual challenge and independent study, for broadening their perspective and contemplating their formal academic pursuits. Honors Scholars participate in special courses that enhance curricular breadth and in extracurricular activities, such as educational and cultural events in Richmond and other nearby communities. They may participate in symposia at other colleges in the region or in the annual conventions of the Virginia Collegiate Honors Council. On campus they receive invitations to meals with visiting dignitaries and to special colloquia; they also may arrange symposia for participation by honors students at other colleges in the state.
Achievement Awards. The Admissions Committee considers applicants with strong leadership and academic performance in a solid, college-preparatory curriculum for an Achievement Award-President's, Dean's, or Alumni. Each Scholar receives a stipend award in recognition of his academic and leadership accomplishments. These awards are renewable annually, provided the student continues to meet the scholarship requirements. Additional funding may be available if financial need, as determined by the College, exists. A PROFILE or FAFSA application must be filed annually by the College's priority deadline.
Virginia residents attending the College for the first time must also complete a separate application for the Virginia Tuition Assistance Grant (TAG) program. TAG, based on residency, not need, is available to bona fide residents of Virginia who attend an eligible private college or university in the Commonwealth. Instructions on how to obtain the application are mailed to each accepted Virginia freshman applicant in his financial aid award letter. Completed TAG applications must be returned to the Office of Financial Aid before July 31.
The Army ROTC program offers two-, three-, and four-year scholarships and other financial incentives to those individuals seeking leadership training and experience. Participants who successfully complete this course are commissioned 2nd Lieutenants in the United State Army, Army Reserve, or National Guard. These scholarships are merit based and not awarded on financial need or family income. Applicants accepting a scholarship must attend classes at Longwood University, a partnership school with the University of Richmond ROTC program.
If awarded an ROTC scholarship, an applicant receives full tuition per year for each year of the scholarship. In addition, the scholarship awards an annual allotment of $1,200 for textbooks and supplies plus a tax-free monthly stipend in the amount of $300 for freshmen, $350 for sophomores, $450 for juniors, and $500 for seniors.For more information, contact the Department of Military Science at the University of Richmond at 804-287-6066, the resident military instructor at Longwood University at 434-395-2136, or the Hampden-Sydney College Career Development Office.

Historic Earthquakes: Tectonic Summary
Magnitude 6.8 NEAR THE COAST OF CENTRAL CHILE
2003 June 20 13:30:38 UTC
Tectonic Setting
This earthquake occurred in the Chilean subduction zone, in which the dominant tectonic process is the subduction and underthrusting of the Nazca plate to the east beneath the South American plate at a rate of about 8 cm/yr. The currently available location and moment-tensor of the earthquake imply that the shock occurred as a sudden slippage on the thrust-fault boundary between the plates. The hypocenter of this event is located within a segment of the plate boundary that was ruptured in 1943 by a magnitude 7.9 earthquake.

After going winless in non-league play into the month of May, the Streetsboro baseball team finally won a nonleague battle.
Then, the Rockets captured a second straight win in nonleague action.
Streetsboro head coach Chris Scisciani likes that his team is winning outside of the league.
The Rockets won two straight nonleague affairs -- 16-1 over Rittman May 3 at Canal Park in Akron and 3-0 over Western Reserve Academy May 2 at home.
See this video from the Rittman game:
With the wins, Streetsboro improved to 6-8 overall.
Senior Austin Szemacs had quite a day. He was the winning pitcher as he fired a one-hitter against Rittman to move to 2-1 this year.
Szemacs also belted an inside the park home run He slammed the ball to deep center.
The only hit Szemacs allowed was a double in the third inning by Rittman freshman Jeremiah Butcher.
Streetsboro plated eight runs in the top of the fourth and seven more in the top of the sixth. Szemacs scored three times and had a stolen base as well.
"Austin gave us another excellent pitching outing and that was great for him to hit an inside-the-park homer at Canal Park," Scisciani said.
Senior Alex Bison ripped a double, two runs batted in and a run scored, while senior Gage Simpkins had a double, scored three runs and knocked in two RBIs.
Junior pitcher Ricky Delambo tossed a two-hit shutout against.
Delambo fanned nine Pioneer batters in the win to move to 3-2 this year.
"Ricky pitched extremely well and we have had a lot of guys step up this year on the mound," Scisciani said. "It was nice to see the seniors win."
Senior catcher Nate Bailey knocked in two runs with a single, while Bison hit a solo home run. Szemacs added a double and scored once.
"It was nice to see Alex [Bison] get out of his slump," Scisciani said. "He had been struggling at the dish and Alex got a nice solo shot and hopefully, his slump is over."
The Rockets earned an 11-1 win in the junior varsity game.
Scisciani also received his club's postseason draw at the May 4 seed meeting. Streetsboro was seeded eighth out of 11 teams at the Akron Canal Park Division II sectional-district tournament.
The Rockets are set to play May 13 at Richfield Revere (4-11-1), the seventh seed. Game time is scheduled for 5 p.m.
Woodridge earned the top seed and Chagrin Falls and Akron St. Vincent-St. Mary earned the second and third seeds, respectively.
"I thought we might have gotten the seventh seed, but I know Revere plays in the very strong Suburban League," Scisciani said.
Streetsboro was scheduled to host Portage Trail Conference County Division rival Mogadore May 5 before heading to Mogadore May 6. Results of both games were not available at press time.
The Rockets are set to visit County Division foe Waterloo May 8 before returning home to play Mayfield May 9. Both varsity games are scheduled to begin at 4:30 p.m.
Streetsboro is set to host County Division rival Woodridge May 12 at 4:15 p.m.

Update at 6 p.m., June 3: Investigators visited the McKinney mosque Monday, police said.
McKinney police spokesman Sgt. Chad Barker said investigators will look at the possibility that a hate crime occurred because a religious center was targeted. But, he added, police have yet to identify any suspects, so the motivation is unknown.
"We're looking at everything really, but at this point it's just criminal mischief," he said.
Barker also said the whole area around the mosque - especially the nearby Sonic Drive-In - has become an evening hangout for teens and young adults. The gatherings prompted the owner of the McKinney Islamic Association's adjoining shopping center on W. Eldorado Parkway to also request additional police patrols in the area.
Original post, 10:43 p.m. June 2: A mosque was pelted with paintballs over the weekend, prompting the North Texas chapter of a national Muslim advocacy group to call for a hate crime investigation.
McKinney Islamic Association officials said two dozen paintballs were fired at a mosque either Saturday night or early Sunday morning, the Council on American-Islamic Relations announced in a news release. The association's officials also claimed that worshipers have been harassed recently by a group of young people.
"If a bias motive is proven in this case, the perpetrators should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law, including appropriate hate crime enhancements," said Amina Rab, the council's North Texas chapter president.
Police have said they will step up patrols in the area, officials said.

TAMPA – It was another ounce of adversity and another opportunity for someone to step up. Netminder Anders Lindback did just that in a 4-2 win versus the Philadelphia Flyers Thursday at the Tampa Bay Times Forum.
"I saw this as a great opportunity for him and he's seizing the moment," head coach Jon Cooper said.
Ben Bishop's play carried the workload through most of the season, an injury gave Lindback a chance. he appears a changed player in net over the last two contests who said more time has helped.
"I'm getting into the rhythm of the game," Lindback said. "You see it differently than when you only get to play once in a while.
"I've been trying to overdo things and almost work too hard at some pucks than just letting the game come to me. I think I've been better at that lately."
His play and 34-save effort Thursday also left the Times Forum roaring in one of the loudest games at home all year.
The Lightning said they had confidence during pre-game interviews, but Lindback had to instill that assurance in his play. It was more tha eight minutes before Lindback saw his first shot of the game when Jakub Voracek sent a wrist shot his way at 12:43 of the opening period.
The span included no shots on a Flyers' power play. The Lightning then took a 1-0 lead when Tyler Johnson scored his 24th goal of the season for a new franchise rookie record. The goal was fitting as the feed to Johnson came from Steven Stamkos, who previously held the record.
Five minutes later was the real turning point. Lindback was given a roaring applause from the crowd after he swatted a puck away with his glove from his knees in what seemed like an impossible save and then stop the ensuing rebound from in front of the net.
Momentum then stayed in the Bolts' favor in the second when the Lightning power play peppered Ray Emery with five shots. Again, Lindback made an outstanding save on a Voracek shorthanded breakaway followed by a flurry of Flyers' shots that kept the Lightning nursing a one-goal lead.
The Flyers evened the game at one with 1:21 left in the second frame on a power play though, as Wayne Simmonds was fed a backhanded pass from Claude Giroux.
The Bolts' responded with back-to-back goals of their own from Richard Panik and Eric Brewer, in the third for a 3-1 lead with just more than 10 minutes remaining in the contest.
Defending a two-goal lead, Radko Gudas then covered in between the pipes as Lindback got tangled between players and the defenseman made two saves of his own. Minutes later, however, Philadelphia's Sean Couturier was credited with a marker that brought the Flyers within one when Ondrej Palat deflected the puck past Lindback.
Steven Stamkos managed to seal the victory for the Lightning with their first goal on the man advantage of the night late in the third period.
UP NEXT – Tampa Bay closes out the regular season with their second game in as many nights versus the Columbus Blue Jackets Friday. The Lightning then finish their season slate versus the Washington Capitals Sunday before playing the Montreal Canadiens in Round 1 of the 2014 Stanley Cup playoffs.
