|No, it doesn't look that big. Really, it doesn't... ^^
Right. Let's get the obvious out of the way.
I did not collected pets seriously until somewhere into TBC. However, once I started, I may have been
[FX: Gym Door opens and closes]
So then, for both of you still here, let's get to the point.
My one stop for Pet Info, the utterly indispensable Warcraft Pets, has the following to say on the upcoming use of my Vanity Pet Army in 'Pokemon-style' face-offs:
You will be able to customize the name of each of your pets. This name will appear in battle.
Once my enthusiasm for inventing new pet names had waned, the full horror of the task ahead finally sank in.
But hang on, that number's likely to go down, because I'm betting you won't be battling with Balloons, right...? RIGHT? No, actually, just to be safe, I could just do the thing, get it out of the way, and I could try and be a bit clever at the same time. I'll admit I'm aware that the names I give will provide a (probably unintentional) glimpse into my psyche. Hell, even naming them Pet #1 to Pet #185 (as my husband helpfully offered when I told him about this) says something about the kind of person I am. However, when it all comes down to it, there's one thing this entire project will work brilliantly as, and that's Blog Posts. If I did five names a day, I could fill up the next thirty-seven days without having to worry about writing anything else... ^^
So, it's settled. In good news, I won't be doing this and nothing but for a month and a half. I like you guys far too much for that. What I will do is attack them in groups, and provide some explanation for each one as I go. It will also give me an opportunity to take some 'nature' shots of each pet in their natural environments, in a desperate attempt to look like I made an actual effort. As a result, let's try out my 'sample' layout for the one pet I've actually managed to name thus far:
The family has, for the last few weeks, been watching the Harry Potter films from the beginning. My husband professed an interest in seeing them all when Philosopher's Stone was on TV over Christmas and so I bought the box set in the New Year sale and we've been ploughing through it ever since. I already have a Hedwig on one of my hunters (the Ghost Owl from Felwood) so Scabbers was a no-brainer as the name of choice. Let's hope he's not actually an Animagus... ^^
Well, that's one down. Only another 184 to go... ^^

East Campus Parking Structure at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL)
CX(s) Applied: B1.15
Date: 03/02/2010
Location(s): Oak Ridge, Tennessee
Office(s): Oak Ridge Office, Science
The Department of Energy (DOE) at the Oak Ridge Office (ORO) proposes to construct a parking structure at the East Campus region of Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). This will provide staff parking in the most heavily populated area of ORNL. Construction activities will include clearing the area of trees and vegetation, grading the site, and constructing an approximately 200 feet long by 120 feet wide and 3-story high concrete and steel-supported structure. In addition, the surface areas on the west and south sides of the proposed structure would be graded and asphalt-paved. Asphalt-paved roads would be constructed to allow access to the parking structure and surface parking.

I haven't been, but have read some good reviews.
I was rooting for Alex to go home, but Kenny's ego was wearing on me so I won't miss him.
Boston Brewery Tours
I have only been to Harpoon and thought the tour was really good. One person on our tour came to Harpoon after doing the Sam Adams tour and said Harpoon was better.
At Harpoon there is a tour first, where you do get a taste or two of the beer at different stages of the brew process. Then after the tour you get an unlimited amount of samples of whatever they have on tap in the sample room--maybe 10 or so options when I was there. Even if you don't like beer, they might have their cider on tap, which rocks, so hopefully you can enjoy many samples of that!
Lobster rolls (and other food) in and around Boston
Neptune Oyster, in the North End, is where most Bostonians I know think you can get the best lobster roll. They serve it warm with butter or in the traditional style.
Looking for a great steak in Boston.
How about Moo in the XV Beacon hotel?
Vegan Restaurants/Cafes in NYC
Thanks for all of the suggestions, especially for the 100% vegan places, since that's what I'm looking for. I will report back after next weekend's trip.
Thanks again!
How to Feed a Political Vegan
I don't think there is any way to slaughter an animal without "harming" it. Just saying...
If they are looking for vegan food, Boston has more vegan restaurants than you'd expect. The Pulse Cafe just opened in Davis Square and it's great. Also in the Boston area: Peace O' Pie, My Thai, Grasshopper, Grezzo, Prana.

Eggplant balls (like meat balls but vegetarian) and so yummy! (not my blog but had this recipe at a friend's recently and they were great: http://sowhatareyoumakingfordinner.blogspot.com/2009/09/dinner-at-my-sisters-house.html).

Polka-dot food ideas
I second the dippin dots. Also if you are cutting up fruit, kiwis would be fun. Candy dots (do they still have those?) could be good if you want to have candy. Swiss cheese already seems "dotted." Baked ravioli. Salad of cucumber coins, cherry tomatoes, and mini balls of fresh motzarella
Kale, kale and more kale
Kale chips! Spray with olive oil, sprinkle with salt ,and bake at 375 until crisp and delicious.
What Should I Make to Accompany Mac and Cheese
Wow, thanks for all of the advice!!! This was so helpful. The dinner didn't end up happening yesterday, but hopefully next weekend. I will let you all know how it goes!
Tofu & Soymilk
I buy tofu and soymilk at Wholefoods and other large grocery stores. I prefer Nasoya tofu and Silk Light soymilk.
I haven't eaten okara or yuba (to my knowledge).
Non-dairy, gluten-free recipe ideas, please?!?!
I avoid both dairy and gluten for various reasons.
I enjoy the following:
- Brown rice pasta - cooked al dente I think it tastes really close to "regular" pasta.
- Soy "ice cream" - There is a brand that I think is called soy delicious, which is really good.
- I eat a lot of asian inspired food that I can toss over rice or rice noodles - ex. stir fry, curries made with coconut milk.
- I also eat a lot of mexican inspired food - corn tortillas for tacos or enchiladas. I haven't found good soy subs for cheese and sour cream, so I just skip that and add other things for creamy textures, like avocado.
Any Bring-From-Home Snack Ideas?
Mostly fruit. Also, I keep a bag of frozen vegetables and veggie burgers in the kitchen freezer at my office.
Washington D.C. Best Restaurant/Best Birthday Dinner Spot?
I'd recommend Zaytinya. http://www.zaytinya.com/
chai tea?
The Whole Foods by me has Oregon concentrates - so yummy. Also in caffeine free!

Semi-Automatic Espresso Machines
Be your own barista! Semi-automatic espresso machines offer just the right amount of control over how your espresso is made at home. While they may look different, the basic functionality of a semi-automatic espresso machine includes a boiler, a portafilter and a switch or lever to perform the extraction. You'll still grind and tamp your espresso (or insert an espresso pod), start the extraction and then steam or froth your milk as necessary. Semi-automatic espresso machines fall into two different types:
- Manual Control: On these semi-automatic espresso machines, the shot is initiated and you stop it once you decide the extraction is complete, usually in 20-30 seconds. This offers real-time control over the length of your extractions
- Programmable Doses: These semi-automatic espresso machines allow you to program the extraction to stop after a specific amount of time.

-- Former WWE star Trent Baretta suffered a patellar tendon injury during a weekend event for Beyond Wrestling. According to fans in attendance, Baretta's knee gave out while he was running the ropes. No word on how long he'll be out but it appears that he may need surgery. We'll keep you posted as we hear more.
-- We noted earlier here on the website that as of Sunday evening, the script for Monday's WWE RAW broadcast included the following:
* Chris Jericho vs. Luke Harper
* A Miz TV segment with Bo Dallas
* Build for Roman Reigns vs. Randy Orton at SummerSlam
* John Cena interview reacting to his match with Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam
Of course, two out of the four things listed above didn't happen due to major creative re-writes on Monday. Surprised?! We're going to have more on this shortly but one source notes that "almost the entire show from top to bottom was re-written" during the afternoon and evening hours prior to RAW. Several talents even filmed backstage promo segments and they ended up being scrapped and didn't air. For what it's worth, there are many people in creative and production who are becoming increasingly frustrated as of late as there have been more creative re-writes than in the past. It's turning into a weekly thing and several top production people are frustrated but there isn't much they can do if they want to keep their jobs .... especially now with the ongoing budget cuts.

5 posts tagged with terror and Constitution.
Displaying 1 through 5 of 5. Subscribe:
"U.S. Practiced Torture After 9/11, Nonpartisan Review Concludes"
Years after the first hints of "harsh interrogation practices" in the US war on terror, years after Obama's decision to "look forward, not back" and not investigate or pursue official torture by the CIA and other agencies, the 577-page Report of the Task Force on Detainee Treatment that was released today is, "[i]n many respects, . . . the examination of the treatment of suspected terrorists that official Washington has been reluctant to conduct." The New York Times' Scott Shane reports. [more inside]
The Chain of Command in Coercive Interrogations
"You could almost see their dicks getting hard as they got new ideas." A Vanity Fair reporter investigates the chain of command that tossed out the Geneva Conventions and instituted coercive interrogation techniques -- some might call them torture or even war crimes -- in Bush's Global War on Terror. UC Berkeley law professor John Yoo's now-obsolete 81-page memo to the Pentagon in 2003 [available as PDFs here and here] was crucial, offering a broad range of legal justifications and deniability for disregarding international law in the name of "self-defense." Others say that Yoo was just making "a clear point about the limits of Congress to intrude on the executive branch in its exercise of duties as Commander in Chief." [previously here and here.]
Using Big Laws to Catch Little Terrorists
The terrorists in New Jersey have been captured. They're, uhm, like 15 years old. A fine example of how anti-terror laws like the Patriot Act can be subject to mission creep. (The "terrorists" at the Thomas Merton Center for Peace and Justice in Pittsburgh seem to be still at large.)
Black-Bag Jobs
"Don't worry Mr. President, we have Kansas surrounded." Warrantless searches: they're not just for wiretaps anymore. U.S. News and World Report probes the Bush administration's covert drive to conduct physical searches of American homes without court approval.
the sunlight of a public trial
..I would like to convey the message that our system works. We did not need to use a secret military tribunal, or detain the defendant indefinitely as an enemy combatant, or deny him the right to counsel, or invoke any proceedings beyond those guaranteed by or contrary to the United States Constitution. ...We can deal with the threats to our national security without denying the accused fundamental constitutional protections. ...--U.S. Western District Judge John Coughenour, while sentencing "Millennium Bomber", Ahmed Ressam. With 60 Terror Plots foiled in the past 10 years, and pretty much none foiled due to the DHS and Patriot Act, it has to be asked-- Why isn't regular law enforcement and all the rest enough?

6. Public Hearings
7. General Business
7.01 Adopt Ordinance No. 2013-10, An Ordinance Rezoning Approximately 70 Acres from MU-R, Mixed Use Regional to L-I, Limited Industry (Kinghorn) and Summary Ordinance No. 2013-10
Planner Grittman stated the Planning Commission is recommending approval of the rezoning on a 4-2 vote. Grittman stated the current zoning is mixed-use regional and the applicant is seeking approval to rezone the property to limited industrial. Grittman stated it is at the Council's discretion to determine the most appropriate zoning district, to achieve the directive of the comprehensive plan. Grittman added that the Planning Commission did receive a presentation regarding the preliminary traffic study for the proposed use of the property.
Grittman provided the following three options for Council consideration:
• Approval with findings
• Denial with findings
• Table - stating we are still within 60 to 120 approval period.
Bunting stated he heard there is concern over the traffic study not being complete. Weiss stated he will have a significant portion of the study complete by the next meeting. Bunting recommended tabling the application until the next meeting.
Ihli moved, Stanley seconded a motion to table 7.01 to the next City Council meeting. Motion carried 4-0.
7.02 Items Relating to Northern Dewatering:
• Approval of a Conditional Use Permit to Northern Dewatering for Outdoor Storage
• Approval of Resolution No. 2013-43, Granting a Land Subdivision and Lot Combination for Northern Dewatering and NR Holds, LLC, Rogers, Minnesota
Planner Grittman stated the item before Council is two related actions; a subdivision/combination and a Conditional Use Permit for the expansion of outdoor storage on the newly combined parcel.
Grittman explained the changes to staff recommendations that the Planning Commission made; focusing on dust-free aggregate versus pavement as recommended by staff.
Bunting asked why. Grittman stated the Planning Commission felt the paving requirement was onerous for this user stating there was discussion regarding the use of a track vehicle on the site. Bunting asked Planning Commissioner Dick Martin if he concurred with the statements by Grittman. Martin stated the code does allow for a dust free surface and also referenced the track vehicles on the property.
Grittman stated that staff also recommended compliance with parking. The Planning Commission clarified that the parking and driveway are to be paved. Grittman proceeded through the final conditions placed on the CUP and land division. Grittman stated the new conditions do not supersede the other conditions of the previous Conditional Use Permit. Also, a developer's agreement will be drafted to secure all the requirements of the CUP and land division/combination.
Stahmer asked if it is fair to say that this is subject to watershed permitting, and it still may be discussed at a watershed level and require asphalt.
Bunting stated that he was concerned about asphalt requirement until he heard about the track vehicles.
John McShane, owner of Northern Dewatering, approached the podium and stated he is looking at purchasing this property as an opportunity to pick up another adjoining parcel because of its availability. McShane stated they have track vehicles up to 125,000 pounds. Asphalt would not last long.
Bunting stated his concern was for screening for residents, it appears that is being taken into account. McShane stated he has been there for 30 years, and stated if you look at the screening at the existing property he didn't cut corners before.
Ihli stated staff has done a good job and is confident this is a good project.
Mark Nordlund, of NR Holdings, introduced himself to the Council as the entity purchasing the property and subdividing the 3 acres. He and his partner will be purchasing the Stegora property. Their intent is to subdivide and sell the property to other similar uses to what is happening in the area.
Ihli moved, Stanley seconded a motion to approve the Conditional Use Permit to Northern Dewatering for Outdoor Storage. Motion carried 4-0.
Ihli moved, Stanley seconded a motion to approve Resolution 2013-43, A Resolution Granting a Land Subdivision and Lot Combination for Northern Dewatering and NR Holds, LLC, Rogers, Minnesota Motion carried 4-0.
8. Other Business
8.01 Consent Agenda Discussion
Jakel stated when he was previously on the Council, his understanding was that consent agenda items were things that were brought before the Council before stating he now sees that sometimes things are new and noteworthy.
Scharber explained the change in agenda and packet style. Stahmer stated that if enough description can be accomplished in writing the memo, and for non-controversial items, then it normally will be on consent agenda.
Bunting stated he appreciates what staff has done.
8.02 Pavement Management Plan
Jakel stated there is so much going on in town and so much on the horizon that this seems overdue because it touches so many different facets.
Weiss stated he has reviewed the final draft report and recommended moving the transportation task force meeting to late July instead of August. Weiss explained that a lot of things that go into getting it set up for the first time.
Jakel commented on incorporating the pavement management plan in to the budget documents.
9. Correspondence and Reports
9.01 June Police Report
No action taken.

Insanity defense to be used in death caseMay 02,2014Insanity defense to
be used in death case
ST. JOHNSBURY A Vermont woman charged along with her husband in the killing of a popular St. Johnsbury teacher intends to use an insanity defense at her upcoming trial.

The 35-year-old Prue and her husband, 32-year-old Allen Prue, face kidnapping and first-degree murder charges in the March 2012 death of Melissa Jenkins.
Prosecutors also are planning to offer testimony on Patricia Prues mental state.

Add Real-time Visualization of Lung Function: from Micro to Macro headlines to your news reader:
Or, paste the URL in the box below into your preferred RSS reader.
"The experimenter … must be ingenuously honest. He must face facts as they arise in the course of experimental procedure, whether they are favourable to his idea or not." — Walter Bradford Cannon
Recently, there has been an explosion of interest in imaging physiological processes in the lung in real time, and several notable advances have been made, which have been facilitated by new methodological approaches, novel microscopic and radiological imaging technologies, as well as the development of genetically modified animal models that facilitate imaging approaches. The pressing need for further advances in the development or refinement of experimental approaches for the real-time assessment of lung structure and function, together with an explosion of interest in this area of pre-clinical and clinical pulmonary research, has prompted this Special Call for Papers on "Real-time Visualization of Lung Function: from Micro to Macro" from the American Journal of Physiology - Lung Cellular and Molecular Physiology.
All papers will be reviewed promptly, thoroughly, and fairly by members of the Editorial Board and guest reviewers who are recognized experts in this field. Accepted manuscripts will be published on line within two weeks after acceptance under a distinct heading and will receive special attention and handling. Only those papers not requiring extensive revision will be published under this Call for Papers.
The deadline for this Call for Papers is December 31, 2016.

If we rank fish by species, can't we also rank them by family? And as the native species, shouldn't the brook take top billing? If we declare the native fish to be number one in our hearts (as I have seen countless people do in this forum), shouldn't we then keep any rainbow or brown we catch (of legal size of course) in order to give our favorite a small leg up?
I am not looking to open the door again on the impact keeping fish has on overall population, now we are talking about theory and ethics, so the fact that killing a few rainbows will have little to no impact on the brookie population is beside the point.
Life is hard. But it's a lot harder if you're stupid.

When Wolfgang Puck opened a branch of his Los Angeles fine-dining flagship Spago at the Forum Shops at Caesars Palace in 1992, he was the first celebrity chef/ restaurateur to help catapult the Las Vegas dining scene into national prominence. And he made a bundle of money in the process. But at the time, the idea of transplanting a California-centric concept like Spago to the desert gambling mecca of Las Vegas seemed delusional. But in retrospect, it was genius. Next week, Puck and his ...

2013 Legislative Review: placenta take out
It's official in Oregon now. You can take your placenta, along with your new baby, home from the hospital. This was already a practice among the CAM set but apparently new mothers were running afoul of laws designed to protect us from bio-hazards. New legislation exempts "the removal from a health care facility . . . of a placenta by a postpartum mother."
Now, why would anyone want a placenta? Well, SBM is nothing if not your complete source of all things CAM and Harriet Hall has already covered the subject. The short answer is that in Traditional Chinese Medicine placenta-eating is thought to confer all sorts of health benefits on the new mother. I learned of this new law from USA Today, which explains that "some experts say" it has positive health benefits. Well, thank goodness for that. Wouldn't want a new law passed without "experts" weighing in.
But if handling a placenta makes you squeamish, not to worry. The Placenta Power Wellness Service in Portland (among others) will steam, dehydrate and encapsulate it into a handy pill form for about $150-$250. (Each placenta will make 80-120 capsules, according to the website). If you wish, you can get raw placenta encapsulation instead. Placenta tincture, placenta salve and a print of your placenta (sort of like those newborn footprints) are available for extra. That would be a real conversation starter, sitting there on the mantel.
According to Placenta Power Wellness Service, anecdotal evidence shows women experience an increase in energy, mood enhancement, milk supply and feelings of elation. Plus, it's been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine "for centuries."
And folks, that is all you need to get a statute passed adding practices or products to the legally-available health care armamentarium: anecdotes, sometimes relayed by "experts." Traditional use is icing on the cake. (Or maybe the placenta.) It's the reason for the DSHEA, the chiropractic, acupuncture and naturopathic practice acts, "health freedom" laws, and getting the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia dumped in toto into federal law, with updates courtesy of the homeopathic industry. "I've seen it work!" "It worked for me!" Depending on the method, the evidence for the astounding variety of practices and products legally permitted by these laws generally ranges between none and some, with, I'd wager, most hovering in the "it can't work" to the "we don't know if it works" range. Not to mention the evidence of safety, or lack thereof. (more…)

You don't see it, he just takes a note out of his pocket and hands it to her.

I'd say he's just as bad (he's currently facing deportation in an unrelated matter) but just not as crazy. He's an asshole but his wife is a lunatic.

Personally I think he's more accepting towards criticism, but he's just trying to both protect and stay on the good side of his wife. And yeah, I've seen the deportation thing. It won't go through, he's married to a US Citizen and therefore a citizen in his own right.

Plus i kinda forgot who he has to answer to at the end of the day. As a man I can respect him not wanting to get castrated in his sleep or something. I really didn't see either of them accept criticism though and both of them are equally accountable for the establishments practices. But a lot of that is probably personal opinion too.

Those were my thoughts too, that's why i mentioned that i think they're both equally accountable. It's fine if you missed that or misread it though. As for feeding his wife's delusions think of it this way. If he doesn't feed his wife's delusions, his life becomes a living hell. If he tries to leave her, she gets half or more of his stuff. So he feeds the delusion and the business might not go so well but he can sleep in his own bed at night. At least that's the way I see it ATM, it's also perfectly plausible that he's just a d-bag who wanted a trophy wife and really is as crooked as portrayed.

Groundwater Replenishment
Since 1973, our natural groundwater replenishment has been supplemented with Colorado River water imported through the Colorado River Aqueduct.
The Desert Water Agency, as a participating public agency, is entitled to water originating in Northern California through the State Water Project.
Because there is no direct pipeline from Northern California to the desert, the Agency trades its State Water Project allotment with the Metropolitan Water District's Colorado River allotment, which is accessible to our recharge basins located near Windy Point.
Learn more about groundwater management in this informative publication. Learn more about the State of the Coachella Valley Groundwater Basin here.

Wolves waive PG Price
A.J. Price's time with the Timberwolves has come to a close, after he was waived on Thursday.
MINNEAPOLIS -- The Timberwolves roster stands at 14 after the team opted to waive reserve point guard A.J. Price.
With eight games left in the season and Minnesota on the verge of mathematical elimination from playoff contention, it's a curious move, but a fairly marginal one. Often deactivated or receiving a DNP-CD, Price appeared in 28 games this season, averaging 3.5 minutes, 1.6 points and 0.5 assists per game.
With Ricky Rubio and J.J. Barea playing the vast majority of minutes at point guard, there was never much room for Price to crack the rotation. The five-year NBA veteran earned a training-camp invite this past summer and was kept around for insurance purposes and to help some of Minnesota's younger players along.
He hadn't played since March 5 against New York and received an emergency appendectomy not long after. He hadn't been activated since then.
The decision gives Minnesota the option of signing a free agent to a 10-day contract to close the season if the front office so chooses. But one more loss or a win by either Dallas, Memphis or Phoenix, and the Timberwolves will be out of the postseason running, so such a move would only give them an early look at a player for next season.

would say, approximately, skonn, not skunn and not 'skawn'.
I can hear skunn and 'skawn' in my mind's ear. I have no idea what skonn is supposed to sound like. I am willing to entertain the notion that my mind's ear and dxb's mind's ear are not hearing 'skawn' the same way.

Skonn, to me, has 'sco' as in Scot and a sharp 'n' on the end formed with the tip of the tongue curled up to touch the roof of the mouth rather than just behind the front upper teeth. Skawn has the lips pushed forward to make the 'aw' sound as in prawn or born.
Describing on paper what you can hear perfectly well in your head is never easy and I am aware that there are conventions for doing so with wierd upside down 'e's and omegas, but I am really not familiar or comfortable with them. I should be - apologies. I should stay away from such issues!

- and 'ere's the pronunciation:
"Skawn" to rhyme with "dawn"
"Skonn" to rhyme with "upon"
As to "scunner"; in some Eng. dialects, this word means "to skin", as in to remove the skin from an animal (after you've killed it, of course !)
A metaphorical usage is, "Yon stink's enough to scunner a toad!" - i.e, the stench is powerful enough to remove a toad's skin.
I just can't remember in which part of England I heard this: I think it was North Midlands - Nottingham/ Derbyshire/ Staffordshire sort of area.

What a shame the pronunciation symbols are such a disaster - so many of them I remember
one I had in highschool French that was marvelously helpful. Now every dictionary is different

pronunciation symbols are such a disaster
Part of the problem is that of agreeing what they mean. This as in prawn or born, as the lovely AnnaS so ably pointed out, makes no sense to someone for whom the vowel sounds in the two words are completely different. We need a site with sound files.

Market Marvels

The Towellers Story: A Family Affair
Towellers Limited began as a family business, started in 1973 by S. M. Junaid in Pakistan to manufacture terry products. Eventually, his son, S.M. Obaid, as managing director and owner, grew the company to the extent that it had to be declared a public limited liability company in 1994.
With the passing of Obaid last year, the management of the $40 million enterprise has been transferred into the capable hands of the family's third generation. Of Obaid's six children (five daughters and one son), three now work together to run the company: Mehreen Obaid, managing director, overseeing sales, the towel division, finances and daily activities; Sana Obaid, director, overseeing raw materials procurements and administration; and Mahjabeen Obaid, director, who is the bed linen designer and the head of sales and marketing for the bed linen and table top divisions.
Though most textile companies in Pakistan are family run, Mahjabeen explains, "The unusual fact about our company is that it is run by three women, which is rare in the textile sector in our part of the world."
This trio of sisters is on a mission to further grow and revitalize the company with a new vision that will take Towellers successfully through the 21st century.
"Towellers has undertaken a corporate rebranding, creating new benchmarks to embrace the changing face of the company," says Mahjabeen. "It is our vision using the experience gained in the trade for more than 38 years, alongside a dedicated team, to emerge as leaders in our business areas. Our goal is to drive sales, grow profitable revenues and become the first choice for all our stakeholders, with a more centralized focus on being the most recognized manufacturer by our customers in the hospitality industry for towels, sheets and blankets.
"Retailers recognize Towellers as one of the largest terry towel manufacturers in Pakistan. However, apart from manufacturing towels we have a diverse product portfolio," states Mahjabeen. "Our company has five divisions: towels, knitted apparel, socks, blankets and bed linens. We have a vertical set-up to ensure quality manufacturing. Over a million square feet of production space and machines makes us a one-stop shop to cater to the needs of a retailer."
Towellers boasts more than 3,000 employees and plans to expand U.S. operations by soon adding a West Coast Laguna Beach office in addition to the existing New York showroom.
Though the challenges for any large business seeking to grow are formidable, Mahjabeen reveals that because the determined trio are sisters, family bonds of trust and dependability will help keep them securely on course toward meeting their new goals.

Holden's Cruze hatchback will be arriving here in NZ shortly and will arrive with the highest possible five-star ANCAP safety rating.
Launching in November, the GM Holden designed and built Cruze hatch maintains the same safety standards set by the Series II Cruze sedan, which went on sale here earlier this year.
Like the sedan, the hatch receives the maximum safety rating thanks to a range of active and passive safety features included as standard.
Six airbags including driver and front passenger, front side impact and side curtain airbags, electronic stability control, anti-lock braking system, electronic brakeforce distribution, traction control and a collapsible pedal assembly system all come as standard kit.
The entire Cruze range benefits from a robust body structure and a advanced chassis system, which delivers accident avoidance capabilities. There's also energy-absorbing load paths that protect the passenger safety cell and offer optimum protection in the event of a collision.

Rueibin Chen — a reluctant artist
By Lin Yuting,The China Post
April 6, 2012, 9:37 pm TWN
In March, Austrian-Taiwanese pianist Rueibin Chen (陳瑞斌) and three young pianists with physical disabilities — Chen Bo-rong (陳柏榮), Gu Yong-kai (顧永鍇) and Zhang Yan-sheng (張晏晟) — presented two "Rueibin Chen & Friends" (愛與陽光音樂會) concerts in Tainan and Taipei, assisted by Chen's colleagues and the Motech Culture and Art Foundation (茂迪文化藝術基金會). The China Post caught up with Chen after the event.
How did the concerts turn out?
The audience was touched but thought it was too brief. They wanted more. Some cried while others held back their tears. Collaborating with the students went smoother than I expected. One student is autistic while the other two are blind. With the autistic student, we had difficulty communicating through words; I used simple, direct instructions like "OK" or "not OK." But through music we had something in common. The blind students memorized the whole score, not only their parts but also my part. Rehearsing together was more complicated than I thought but we found a way to avoid bumping into each others' hands.
Do you think of anything before going on stage?
Nothing really. You're almost onstage! What else can you think of?
You must always be in peak condition before going on stage, because one cannot warm up backstage. You play right away when you get on. It is cruel but the audience won't sympathize.
How did you get onto the pianist's path?
I went abroad to study as a child. I studied the piano at my father's behest, and did not enjoy practicing much. Every child in my family competed in music as my father wished. There was a piano in the household when I was born, purchased not for me but for my uncle. Pianos were rare in southern Taiwan at that time; father got it third-hand. I learned to play by recognizing the patterns on the ivory keys formed due to humidity, but the pianos I played on in competitions elsewhere had pristine white keys. I practiced on the family piano until successfully auditioning to study in Vienna.

Brush each large sheet of filo with melted butter, layer on top of each other, then fold in half so you have a smaller rectangle 6 layers thick. If using small sheets just stack on top of each other. Fold in the edges of the pastry base to make a 2cm border, then spread the apricot conserve inside the border. Carefully slide the pastry base on to the hot baking tray and bake for 5 mins.
Remove from oven, arrange apricots over the tart and brush with any leftover melted butter. Bake for another 10 mins, then scatter on raspberries and sprinkle with sugar. Bake for a final 10 mins until the pastry is golden brown and crisp.

quick and easy to make. looks amazing. its utterly delicious, and as 'superhealthy', don't feel too bad about having a dollop of cream with it! great hot and cold. i used tinned apricots as out of season at mo, and think they were excellent, better than fresh as perfectly ripe (and cheaper!). also used frozen raspberries from my glut of PYO last year. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lethal and sublethal injuries to infants caused by anteroposterior manual compression can be accompanied by lateral rib fractures, hemorrhage into the viscera, and when severe, rupture of large vessels and solid organs. Abusers may claim that these injuries were sustained in an attempt to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). The difference between injuries caused by CPR and injuries caused by inflicted anteroposterior compression is examined in one sublethal and two lethal cases.

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher towards a bungy jump, for another 30 days.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.
