Chapter 4: Aftermaths of the Catastrophe
"Khushi? Open the door" Arnav's voice came again and the knocks doubled.
Arnavji, please help me' She mentally screamed to him as Shyam's palm had still covered her moth.
While Shyam's face was whitening second by second, the knocks on the door grew louder and urgent.
"Why isn't she opening the door? Might be sleeping" Arnav thought as he checked the time in his watch. It was quite late.
Concluding that, he took out the duplicate key of the room from his wallet and unlocking the door, opened it with a jolt.
What lay before his eyes was the death of him. For a second he thought he was hallucinating, his worst fears have come true but two more seconds ticked away and he knew indeed his fears have come true.
Shyam hadn't allowed Khushi to move under his heavy weight and she was lying still. From the angle Arnav could see, he was unable to see her face as Shyam was completely bent upon her, his face almost on top of hers.
"You disturbed their kissing session" His mind laughed upon him while his heart constantly screamed against it. This is wrong, Khushi couldn't do this to him.
Khushi's heart almost ripped open the minute she turned her gaze at him and noticed the pain and hurt brimming in them. For a last time she tried to move under him but Shyam was heavy for her.
"Stop wriggling Khushiji. Stay still if you don't want me to hurt your husband and his loving Di. Don't speak anything. One word from you and I promise you'll hate yourself for speaking it. So please stay quiet and play along. I am sure you wouldn't want me to hurt raani Sahiba and her little baby" Shyam whispered in her ears and before Khushi could do anything about it, he pasted his lips on hers.
Arnav was on the verge of breaking and a Shyam's lips touched his wife, all his pain and hurt changed into fury.
"Get off her" He roared, walking in the room.
Shyam didn't wait any longer and sprang down the bed, leaving Khushi lying there, overwhelmed by pure disgust.
As she realised the heavy weight was off her she instantly got up and climbed down the bed, tears streaming down her cheeks.
"Saale Sahab? When did you return? We thought you were in Scotland" Shyam started cleverly, giving a smirk to him.
"I am really sorry, we didn't knew you'd return so soon. Khushiji was feeling lonely in your absence so I thought maybe I could entertain her. Now that you are here, I hope you'd like to continue?" He said, that smile never leaving his face.
Arnav stood rooted to his place, unable to speak. What should he do? Should he hit the man before him? Was it of any use when his own Khushi had once again betrayed him?
"Khushiji seems like Saale Sahab is way too surprised to speak anything. So I'll leave now. But please do miss me, and more than it, miss my words. Don't forget what I told you" He said and walked passed Arnav, not believing Arnav really let him go, that easily. He had already calculated the surgery expense after Arnav will have distorted his contorted face.
He left the room thanking his gods.
"I am sorry for catching you red-handed Khushi Kumari Gupta. If only you'd have already explained me your night plans I would have come a little late" He said, locking the door and loosening his tie, not looking at her.
"Arnavji I.." She started walking up to him and stood facing his back.
"Don't you dare Khushi. Don't you dare to deny you weren't f****** enjoying here" He screamed, turning behind at once and holding her by her arms, his nails digging in her skin.
"Please Arnavji, listen to me" He said, almost begging him to believe her.
"Shut up Khushi. Please? I had never imagined you'll stoop so low. Why did you do this? You invited that man to this room? Our room? Why? Just for physical pleasure! Because you didn't get it from me? You are so cheap Khushi" He said, pushing her away and she fell onto the bed.
"I didn't.."
"I said shut up. I can't tolerate your voice anymore. It stings me. Stay quiet before I lose control over myself and do something which I'll deprecate"
"Arnavji, you have got to listen me. Shyam..." She was doing her best to explain but Arnav wouldn't listen. The mention of Shyam was doubled his anger. After everything happened, she still dares to talk of that bas****.
"Shyam what?" He screamed, turning to her and walking up to the bed.
"Oh yes, I didn't let him complete the kiss? You must be craving for it. Well, do not worry. I'll help you" He said in a voice so dangerous that a chill ran down her spine.
She wanted to speak more and make him understand but couldn't. He pulled her to him and carashed his lips upon hers.
He filled the kiss with all the anger that was coursing in him, the hurt he was going through, the pain which had been eating him within since the time he had seen Shyam hugging her on the terrace, the pain of seeing Shyam kissing her, right before his eyes.
He kissed her hard, but earned no response from her, neither a struggled. She stood limp under his strong and painful hold.
In that minute he realised she too was hurting, hurting with the kiss. He pulled apart from her and she fell on the bed again, her cheek wet with the fresh tears.
"What should he do now? Why isn't she screaming at him? She should. And now why isn't she defending herself" He felt the questions rising within himself as the angry beast subsided.
She didn't said anything but continued weeping, not even looking at him. That crushed him. He hated himself, he hated her, he hated Shyam. He hated everything around him.
Unable to contain all the hatred and the silence of the room unnerving him, he raged out of the room, leaving Khushi alone.
He drove crazily on the deserted road. Images flashing in his mind like the rolling of a camera.
All good things, all Rabba Ve moments followed by the sad ones. The terrace scene, the scene after
their Heer-Ranjha act. And now the added tragedy, Shyam kissing her.
"NO" He screamed, applying brakes and the SUV halted with a loud screech.
"She betrayed me, once again. She broke my trust, once again. She killed me, once again" He said, leaning against the car door, as the rain poured down upon him.
The new morning was no different in Shantivan. Everything was going on the way it had been always.
The only difference was people in the housed didn't feel same anymore. A storm was approaching their lives and they were oblivious to it.
Anjali woke up with a bad headache and Shyam was beside her to comfort her. How she loved her husband. He was always here to help her. She thanked Devi Maiya for giving her such a devoted husband being illiterate to the irony of the situation.
Shyam offered her lime water and smiled secretly.
He was proud of what he had done the previous night. He was sure Khushi wouldn't have told anything to Arnav knowing well people living in this house were emotional fools.
And since Khushi wouldn't have explained anything to Arnav, there was no chance of Arnav Khushi reunion. That was all he wanted as of now.
Everyone in the Raizada Mansion was having breakfast, chit-chats going around the table.
Khushi was still in her room and Naniji was wondering why she was so late so join them, when Arnav entered in the house, his hair tousled and weariness evident in his body-language.
Without caring about all the questions being showered upon him, he walked straight to his room.
Barging in the room, his eyes looked around but couldn't find anyone. He checked the poolside, bathroom but there was no sign of Khushi being around.

dear ones.
can see your gloomy and sombre faces and I am really sorry about it. I had read
your comments on the previous chapter and nearly all of you wanted Arnav to not
misunderstand the situation and stand with Khushi. But as I have already told
you people, this story was written more than a year back, when the show was
on-air, I can't do anything about it. But of course I can assure you guys that
this misunderstanding won't continue for long. I think just for two or three
more chapters and Arnav will come to know the truth.
yeah, in the next update, you'll see Shyam behind the bars. Also Khushi is
okay, she hadn't left the house neither she has gone to commit suicide.
Also do check the note by me at the end of Keep Loving Me' update. I'll update this story on 26th.
NOTE: New readers DO NOT send me buddy Requests until you have dropped a comment on any of my stories.

The specific charge wasn't disclosed, but a report says the Kingdom treats such incidents as criminally negligent homicide. In the U.S., depending on the state, a driver in the same situation could be charged with anything from vehicular manslaughter to first-degree vehicular homicide, the primary charge aggravated by fleeing the scene. As one might expect, our sentencing doesn't come anywhere close to the death penalty, though: a maximum of thirty years in prison for vehicular homicide is the penalty in Minnesota but only in cases of DUI, whereas in Alabama the same charge only merits a maximum of five years in prison. In Florida, vehicular homicide and leaving the scene is a first-degree felony with a maximum 30-year prison term, before the additional charges and the previous offense are factored in.
The sentence will be carried out by sword, but the Gazette didn't indicate when the defendant will receive it. Nor did it give any indication as to whether the verdict can be appealed, as in the case of another Saudi man first sentenced to death for a similar crime. The other man's death sentence was 'reduced' to 3,000 lashes, 20 years in prison and a lifetime driving ban.

Gradience is at the centre of controversial issues in the theory of grammar and the understanding of language.

Part 1 of 4 - National Female Culling
The year is 2059, the end of the long war was in sight, for 50 years women have been fighting men over control of the world. This was a world war, but not country against country, but male against female, a full blown Gender War. Fearing the extinction of the human race scientists began work, in the first few years of the war, to genetically reproduce or clone a human male, in essence taking away the female's only advantage being needed for reproduction. While the war raged on in those first few years of fighting there were many casualties on both sides science had finally harness the ability to reproduce and clone a male and hundreds were created to replace the men killed in battle.
The women had the same problem trying to replace those killed during the fighting unable to clone their replacements they had to resort to using captured men or (POW's - Prisoners Of War) to impregnate some of the women. When a woman was impregnated with a male child the child would be executed at birth only female children would be permitted. Once the female child became of age thay were sent in to battle.
It was also decided that if a female child could kill 1000 men, they would not have to go to battle anymore, instead, they would be impregnated by using the sperm from a (POW) to reproduce the next set of girls sent to battle. This undignified war went on for 50 years,
Just as quickly as it started, the women surrendered all over the world. Women were surrendering tired of the war, tired or fighting, giving themselves back to the men, to do to them what ever they wanted. The submissive nature of the female gender finally surfaced in all women, all over the world. With this surrender women were now slaves to all men not needed for reproduction since the discovery of cloning
The end of the war was a great time but 50 years of fighting left the world in some chaos, whole cities in ruin, slowly being rebuilt, and farms destroyed cows, and pigs virtually extinct leaving very few of them left. Because of this cows, pigs and chickens were included in the protected species act, and were no longer allowed to be farmed for food. This loss hurt more than damaged cities, this was food a life source. Without cows, pigs and chickens, new meat sources had to be found.
Goats, horses, deer, and other forms of livestock were tried, but it wasn't the same as a good suckling pig. Females were at the time, used only to satisfy male sexual needs, not for reproduction of course but men still had sexual needs to have fulfilled they were kept in chains, like the sexual slaves they were, only to be unchained when their male owners wanted to use them for their own pleasure. Since the end of the war men were selling and trading women at auction like livestock at a meat auction. It was at this time a young man got and idea.
This young man was a butcher, who enjoyed slaughtering pigs for meat but now pigs were rare and could not be made into meat. Being a butcher he knew that the meat of a young women was the closet thing to the meat of a suckling pig, at first the man was disgusted by his own thoughts of cannibalism but over time, as he thought more about it, the idea grew on him and he set out to create a machine that would take the place of the modern pig spitting machine but this would be designed for human female spitting.
After a year of planning and construction the machine was finished he called it "Jessica 3000" It was a beautiful, gleaming thing, all shiny chrome. With leather straps that would be used to restrain the girl riding it. The girl would mount the machine like you would a horse placing one foot in the foot rest and swinging her leg over the side placing her other foot in the second foot rest both feet restrained with leather straps. Sitting in a kneeling position with the girls chin in a padded chin rest her head would be bound with similar leather restraints. Once this was done the girls hands would be bound behind her back if that hadn't already been done by force before mounting "The Jessica".
The machine binds the girl in a kneeling position with a 8 foot long 3 inch thick carbon steel spit rod behind her pointing at her pussy, leaving her breasts placed over a chrome metal rod hanging free and her belly totally exposed. sitting neatly under the belly is a gut trough, a small metal slide that would allow her guts to slide into a waste basket after gutting the girl would be gutted while the spit was advancing though her body by a small saw on the end of a retractable arm that would sit under the girls chest ready to slice open her belly so her guts could travel down the gut trough ready for stuffing.
With the machine created and the designed drawn up for patents, the young man took his machine to congress to show it off and explain to them its intended use. The men loved his machine but were disgusted by the idea of cannibalism much as the young man felt before he had built the machine. With some smooth talking and explaining to them how a young girls meat is similar to a pig, and would taste much the same, he had a unanimous vote from all 12 member of congress and the National Female Culling Act was signed. The Jessica 3000 went into mass production.

Ironing with wood: The side by side ironing board Au Pair is different than all the plastic made boards because it has a lot of space (with an ironing surface of 132.5 x 35.5 cm) as well as functionality.
The ironing board Au Pair from side by side was created by the design team 'fpm factor product münchen'. The wooden board is smoothly height adjustable up to 90 cm, suiting shorter as well as taller people. The big ironing surface has a silver cover, and a replacement cover is also included in the delivery package from side by side.

Message: A new issue has been created in JIRA. --------------------------------------------------------------------- View the issue: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSEDA-5 Here is an overview of the issue: --------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: DIRSEDA-5 Summary: Race condition between connect and input events Type: Bug Status: Open Priority: Major Project: Seda Framework Assignee: Alex Karasulu Reporter: Alex Karasulu Created: Wed, 15 Sep 2004 11:40 PM Updated: Wed, 15 Sep 2004 11:40 PM Description: When a client connects it causes a ConnectEvent to be published by the listener thread that accepts the new client connection. This event's synchronous delivery drives the creation of stateful encoders and decoders in the EncoderManager and DecoderManager respectively. These encoders and decoders are used to process input. When a client sends input the InputManager sends out an InputEvent to be processed by the decoder. Turns out sometimes a fast client can deliver the first chunk of input and hence an InputEvent before a ConnectEvent's processing is complete. Both the ConnectEvent and the InputEvent handling occur in separate threads. We must make sure ConnectEvent processing is complete before allowing InputEvent processing to proceed for a client. Right off the top of my head a quick way to deal might be to wait a certain amount of time and check if the affects of ConnectEvent processing have occurred. Namely wait until a client decoder is available which is the case once the ConnectEvent is processed by the DefaultDecoderManager. Or better yet we can wait on the decoder map to be awaken when it is altered if it does not contain the decoder for the client. The inform method can notify all on the decoder map after it has put the client decoder into the map. Yes this is perhaps the best way for now to perform this synchronization. --------------------------------------------------------------------- JIRA INFORMATION: This message is automatically generated by JIRA.

The Famenne route | cycling routes in Wallonia
- Departing from
Place de l'Etang 15
6900 MARCHE-EN-FAMENNE - MAPS: Google Maps
Province : Luxembourg
This circuit takes you on a voyage of discover in the surrounding countryside and onto the Plateau du Gerny, a vast agricultural plain, to show you what makes the Famenne so special.
Departing from the tourist office in Marche-en- Famenne, we can profit from some neat urban planning, to the benefit of cyclists.
In addition to the network of points-noeuds spread across the town, Marche-en-Famenne has created some magnificent cycle paths, notably the one that is integrated with the Boulevard du Nord.
Leaving the town we head for Waillet, at the heart of the scoop of land called the "dépression famennoise". Numerous remarkable buildings can be seen along the way, notably at Aye: the Ferme du Château, Ferme Tavys, Le Manoir (manorhouse)… The Famenne has a rich architectural heritage.
Further south, the Plateau du Gerny offers views out east to the hills of the Ardennes and, to the west, those of the Condroz.
Towards the end of the circuit, the l'Église Saint-Etienne (Church of St Stephen) at Waha calls for a stop. This remarkable Romanesque building, dating from 1050, is listed as an exceptional piece of Wallonia's architectural heritage (Patrimoine Exceptionnel de Wallonie). Inside are wonderfully colourful stained glass windows by the celebrated Belgian artist and illustrator Jean-Michel Folon.

Okay, let's all calm down. What is shale gas?
Shale gas is natural gas produced from shale. Shale gas has become an increasingly more important source of natural gas in the United States over the past decade, and interest has spread to potential gas shales in Canada, Europe, Asia, and Australia.
Some analysts expect that shale gas will greatly expand worldwide energy supply. A study by the Baker Institute of Public Policy at Rice University concluded that increased shale gas production in the US and Canada could help prevent Russia and Persian Gulf countries from dictating higher prices for the gas it exports to European countries. The Obama administration in the US believes that increased shale gas development will help reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
It's all very nice and beautiful, however it takes time to learn technology and develop gas fields. After some time America's shale gas revolution will definitely spread into Canada, Europe and Asia.
Demand and supply will add some pepper to this game. Companies and countries will run economics; is it cheaper to import gas from Turkmenistan, or is it cheaper to invest billions to produce gas from shale formations? It all takes time and considerations.
How much of the demand can be met by shale gas and how soon?
50% of demand? Then Turkmen gas is still in the game, aint it?
From the environmental point of view, there are concerns about water contamination, which coincides with global insufficient supply of drinking water. Environmental concerns will impact most decisions in Europe, which is densely populated.
The truth is; we all want miracles, but the real world works based on realities and economics. Only time will tell if we're wrong about building East-West pipeline (which I think is a great project), there's no need to assume that Ashgabat cannot run economics. Too frequently it was proven that Turkmenistan is right.
European nations are certainly seeking domestic or 'continental' sources of energy to provide uninterrupted supply. Natural Gas for Europe provides updated information on emerging shale gas developments in Europe.
Turkmenistan is mentioned here http://naturalgasforeurope.com/shale-gas-impacting-traditional-gas-players.htm
Comment by Cladd — June 7, 2010 @ 6:50 am
Well, I agree that shale gas is a game changer. However, again we cannot assume the game will change in one year, and 100% of gas will be produced by importers themselves.
There's a lot Turkmenistan should have done to prevent dependency on natural gas only; like building more universities and investing in human capital. We will probably see how exporting governments will react with diversification of economies. Again, not totally and not so fast.

I've been noticing today that our home is a reflection of what we love.
There's a prominently noticeable love for Legos. And footballs. Things collected in nature- antlers, driftwood, rocks, shells. And reading material- on wildlife, history, architecture, art, maps, & the world.
There is love in homemade and handed down things. In worn, well used, & old things.
There's love in the special cake that is baking in the oven, and even in the laundry that sits folded in a basket.
For fun, I played a little I Spy. Here are a few places I found love while everyone was away today.
Mini reminders of love on the bulletin board over my desk.
(Along with love for little wild bears.)
Love letters from Lilly. And I love those baby Johnathan toes.
^ That one gets me every time I read it.
Love in crayon & oil pastel:
Daughter love.
Love notes from Beau.
Love mixed with paperwork.
Love for McGee. (He's actually 5 years old now, this is an older note from Lilly that I can't part with.)
Love in photographs, paper cut-out hearts, & beaded gifts that I find on my pillow.
Sibling love shown through bright colored smiles.
Construction paper Love. Love for creativity.
Grapefruit love. Mitch's aunt & uncle brought grapefruit from their yard in Florida all the way to Minnesota this past week, to share.
Love for those no longer with us.
These roses represent our five kids, as great-grandchildren to Mitch's Gramma Dee.
"Dad" love.
Young love written across our backyard. (Tuesday evening Mason & Eric were both asked to the upcoming Sadie Hawkins dance.)
Love on our chalkboard front door.
Love is all around.
Happy Valentine's Day!

Number Cruncher: A1 Winners
Welcome to the Shift Number Cruncher. With Anaheim 1 coming up this weekend we thought it would be cool to go back and look at the winners of the huge event. With Anaheim typically marking the beginning of the season, save for a couple of rounds in Los Angeles and Orlando, the defending champion came out swinging most of the time. And more often than not, a win at A1 bode well for their championship hopes. Although, there were some surprises. Take a trip down your Anaheim 1 memory lane and check out this list of winners and their numbers.
1982 – Donnie Hansen #7 *won title
1983 – David Bailey #11 *won title
1984 – Johnny O'Mara #5 *won title
1985 – Broc Glover #4
1986 – David Bailey #6
1987 – Jeff Ward #3 *won title
1989 – Rick Johnson #1
1991 – Jeff Stanton #1
1992 – Damon Bradshaw #4
1993 thru 1996 – Jeremy McGrath *Won unprecedented four titles in a row
As the season opener returned to "The Big A" there was a new surprise. Multiple rounds. This only made sense being that every Anaheim round would see a packed house.
Ezra Lusk photo: Simon Cudby
1999 – Ezra Lusk would sweep both Anaheim rounds this season, riding a super trick CR250 and ominous black and red Fox/Honda gear. Crashes and more crashes took him out of the title.
Jeremy McGrath photo: Simon Cudby
2000 – These seasons marked the full return of Jeremy McGrath. A switch to Suzuki in 1997 saw a runner up finish in overall points. A switch to Yamaha in 1998 saw a slow start, but an eventual title. Then the change of the millennium saw a return of the McGrath of the mid-90's. He was perhaps even better this time around as he swept both Anaheim rounds.
2001 -- There was a lot of pre-race hype about '01 being the year that Carmichael finally took down McGrath. But the 2001 Anaheim opener saw McGrath systematically take the win, while RC followed Lusk, not McGrath home in 3rd. Carmichael would rebound the next weekend to win San Diego, then get beaten by McGrath again at A2 setting the bar on an even keel for the first ever Anaheim 3. We all remember what happened there…
David Vuillemin in 2002. photo: Steve Bruhn
2002 – This was a wild one. Carmichael gets TKOd and The Cobra gets the win wearing Oxbow gear, running #12.
2003 – Chad Reed makes an announcement that he wants the Supercross title.
photo: Steve Bruhn
2004 – Reed wins the second season opener in a row and goes on to take the title.
2005 – The muddiest Anaheim 1 ever. Kevin Windham grits out a well deserved victory. You might want to take a good look at this photo above by Simon Cudby, because the holeshot picture from this Saturday night may well look just like this, sans The GOAT.
photo: Steve Bruhn
2006 – James Stewart wins wearing #7 in a "New Beginning." He and Donnie Hansen are the only two riders to win A1 with #7.
2007 – James Stewart becomes the first rider to sweep all three of the Anaheim rounds and wins his first Supercross title.
2008 -- ??? *Eight is actually a pretty intriguing number when we look at this Saturday night. Of course, it is two thousand and eight. But if James Stewart wins, it will mark his eighth win in a row dating back to the 2007 Daytona SX. And lastly, If my calculations are correct, the defending champion has won A1 eight times as well.
The first three contestants to list the 1976-1979 winners will get a Shift t-shirt

San Martín Bridge
Al oeste del casco antiguo de la ciudad (Debajo del Monasterio de San Juan de los Reyes)
(Castile-La Mancha)
- Autonome regio: Castile-La Mancha
- Provincie/Eiland: Toledo
One of the most beautiful sunsets in Spain (Toledo).
Built in the Middle Ages and dating to around the 13th century, the bridge was later rebuilt almost entirely.
Initially it was constructed from ashlars. It was later modified with new defensive structures such as the two end towers, one from the 13th century and the other connecting to the wall from the 16th century. All this has meant that today the bridge has an impeccable structure. In 1921 it was declared a National Monument. It has five arches.
- Bouw: Bridge
- Artistieke periode: Gothic
- Historische periode: 14th century
- Omgeving: Monastery of San Juan de los Reyes.

GAMING NEWSWorld Of Warcraft To Implement Cross-Realm Zones In MoPPosted on Saturday, May 12 @ 11:38:13 PST by Jonathan_Leack
As mentioned in a recent article of mine, over the past past year Blizzard has been making strikes to evolve World of Warcraft into one single massive world. As in the case with EVE Online this means that instead of players being quartered off into different servers, the game is being opened up so the barrier of communication and gameplay is being done away with. For a game like World of Warcraft where there are over eight-million players this isn't a walk in the park to implement, but Blizzard is definitely up to the task, and its latest announcement furthers the progression. Blizzard has posted an article which confirms that cross-realm zoning will be making its way to the next major Mists of Pandaria beta patch. Wondering how this will work? Blizzard explains: As far as the reason behind such a monstrous development goes, World of Warcraft's age takes most of the blame. Not only has the game suffered around a two-million subscriber fallout, but now that the level cap is so high the sub-85—soon to be 90—experience is spread thin. Blizzard described the circumstance with the following: I am a huge fan of EVE Online's single continuous world, and seeing World of Warcraft head in the same direction is exciting. Leveling has become quite a grind now that the level cap is so high, and Mists of Pandaria will make that even worse. Thankfully, it appears that the cross-realm zones will be released at or around the time of Mists of Pandaria's 2012 launch. Not only will that make it more bearable to go back and level a Monk or Pandaren, but the 85-90 experience will be playable across-realms. |

I was able to re-purpose the gear sprockets, and move them to their new location on the board. The Logo is offset to the right to allow for the mountainous hill that will hide the hikers return to the starting line.
I drew a grid plane in Hexagon that will become the base mesh of the game surface. The cylinders, and the belt shape that runs up the side and the top, represent the volume of the little vagabond hiker that will endlessly hike this hill. This is so when I mass the terrain, I can be sure he will have ample clearance to get around. I exported the logo outline from Corel as a dxf, and imported it into Hex as a position holder. The horizontal and vertical lines were used as alignment reference. It's crucial that everything be as accurate as possible at this point! The same went for the track and sprockets. All DXF's, exported and aligned to the base mesh. I will eventually do the same for the little "X"s as well.
We have been busy cutting tons of stuff for the other sign shops in the area, so I'm not as far along on this game as I would like, but we will be heavy into the fabrication come Monday when it's all drawn and the layout clearances all work together!

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- U.S. stocks closed lower Wednesday, after the Federal Reserve released a pessimistic report on regional economic activity.
The Dow Jones industrial average (INDU) closed down 72 points, or 0.6%. The S&P 500 (SPX) shed 15 points, or 1.3%. The Nasdaq composite (COMP) lost 53 points, or 2%.
The three "E"s -- the economy, Europe, and earnings -- continue to dominate. But with few reports of consequence out of Europe, investors had been focusing on the latest earnings reports, keeping stocks mostly near the breakeven line for much of the day.
But stocks took a hit in the afternoon after the Fed's "Beige Book" painted a picture of an economy that's losing steam. The report made caused investors nervous.
"The market has so been so extraordinarily whippy that people don't like to play in that environment," said Peter Boockvar, equity strategist at Miller Tabak + Co. "It's too dizzying."
Apple's earnings miss dragged the tech sector lower, while insurer Travelers was among the few standouts, giving investors hope for the insurance industry's prospects.
Travelers (TRV, Fortune 500) sparked a rally among insurance stocks when it reported earnings Wednesday. The company told investors that consumers were willing to accept higher insurance premiums. Travelers' stock closed the day up 6%. Chubb (CB, Fortune 500), and Allstate (ALL, Fortune 500) followed suit, ending the day up 0.1% and 2.1% respectively.
Still, market participants said that trading was relatively light, with many investors remaining gun shy, following the recent volatile roller coaster moves.
On Tuesday, stocks surged into the close, following a report suggesting that Europe's bailout fund may get a big boost.
The gains pushed the Nasdaq into positive territory for 2011, while the Dow is at breakeven. The S&P 500 remains in the red, but the broad index finished at its highest level since Aug. 3.
Economy: The latest economic report showed inflation took a bigger bite out of consumers' wallets in September. A 3.9% jump in prices over the last 12 months marked the biggest rise in three years.
Inflation came in as expected in September, with the Consumer Price Index rising 0.3% during the month.
Core CPI, which strips out volatile food and energy prices, rose 0.1% in September.
For the year, CPI is up 3.9%, the biggest annual change in 3 years.
A separate report showed housing starts were stronger than expected in September, while permits for future building fell.
On Tuesday, Moody's Investors Service downgraded Spain's government bond ratings to A1 from Aa2. This follows similar action taken by Standard & Poor's last week.
Companies: After the market closed Tuesday, Apple (AAPL, Fortune 500), the maker of Macs and iPhones, reported a 39% increase in third quarter sales to $28.3 billion. But the figures fell short of forecasts.
Morgan Stanley (MS, Fortune 500), which has had investors worried about its exposure to Europe, posted a solid $2.2 billion profit before Wednesday's opening bell.
Also late Tuesday, Dow component Intel (INTC, Fortune 500) announced earnings that beat analysts' estimates and sales that hit a new high.
And Yahoo (YHOO, Fortune 500) said reported third-quarter sales and earnings that fell compared to last year, but came in ahead of analyst forecasts.
Early Wednesday, Dow component United Technologies (UTX, Fortune 500) beat revenue estimates.
BlackRock (BLK, Fortune 500), the world's largest money manager, surpassed forecasts on both sales and profit for the quarter.
Shares of Abbott Laboratories (ABT, Fortune 500) rose after the medical company said it will split into two separate publicly traded companies. One company will be focused on medical products, and retain the name Abbott, and the other will focus on research-based pharmaceuticals, with a name to be revealed at a later date.
Abbott also released earnings that came in slightly above expectations.
American Express (AXP, Fortune 500) and eBay (EBAY, Fortune 500) announced quarterly earnings after the markets closed.
World markets: European markets all closed slightly higher. Britain's FTSE 100 (UKX) ended up 0.6%, the DAX (DAX) in Germany gained 0.4% and France's CAC 40 (CAC40) added 0.3%.
Asian markets ended mixed. The Shanghai Composite (SHCOMP) slipped 0.3%, while the Hang Seng (HSI) in Hong Kong rose 1.3% and Japan's Nikkei (N225) ticked up 0.4%.
Currencies and commodities: The dollar fell against the euro, the Japanese yen and the British pound.
Oil for November delivery decreased $2.26 to $86.14 a barrel.
Gold futures for December delivery dropped $9.40 to $1,643.40 an ounce.
Bonds: The price on the benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury fell, barely pushing the yield up to 2.16% from 2.15% late Tuesday.

Onwards to my flat iron!
I received the Hana Titanium Ionic 1.5" Flat Iron which boasts adjustable temperatures of up to 450F (that's 232C for us non American folk), pure titanium plates for maximum heat retention, tourmaline integrated ceramic heaters and a rather fabulous 2 year warranty.
Each flat iron comes nestled in each own tin case which contains a rubber mat, a sample sized bottle of Hana Shine Shield and about 20 different pouches - 19 of which I am unsure of its intended use xD.
My apologies for the unfocused photos, my tripod was in the boot of the boy's car so I had to take these photos with my wobbly hands -___-"
Anyway, as you can see from the photos, my hair has a slight wave to it and has lots of little frizzy bits.
After a pass with the magic wand:
Tada! I thought I'd take on the additional challenge of creating some curls using the flat iron.
I then lightly dampened the curls and used the flat iron to straighten out the previously curled hair to test out the flat iron's power against curly hair.
Back view after everything was straightened out.
Final verdict:
I am very impressed!! At $174.99, this is easiest the most expensive piece of hair styling equipment I've ever owned or tried out. Being cheap, all my previous flat irons have been $30 jobs from the pharmacy, and I can see a world of difference between those irons and the Hana Titanium. Those cheap irons would take forever to heat up, would snag in my hair and pull off bits of my hair every time I used it, the plates would not fit together properly and it would take at least 15-20mins to straighten out my hair as I'd have to go over each section again and again.
The Hana Titanium literally glides through my hair with no snagging or pulling. My hair is thick and coarse, but it is easily straightened out within a few minutes. Heat up is lightning fast. I also like the fact that it has a manual dial instead of a digital control as I feel it prevents accidentally switching off the iron or changing the temperature.
I looked up all the hoo ha on ceramic plates, and it apparently allows for faster heat up and thus protects your hair from heat damage. Tourmaline releases large quantities of negative ions which means your hair straightens out faster and retains shine and manageability. This flat iron has the best of both with its tourmaline integrated ceramic plates. As you can see in both the photos and the video, my hair is shiny and silky after straightening so those plates must be doing their job.
The only thing I don't think the Hana Titanium iron is up to is curling. The plates are simply too wide to comfortably curl hair with. That's not to say it's impossible, just that its rather difficult.
I did a quick video review! Please forgive my blabbering and awful editing. I simply couldn't pass up all the cheesy extra effects.
P.S. why do videos inevitably use your most awkward moment as your video's thumbnail?

This bag comes with a matching 20" long crossbody strap and a 2" extra wide shoulder strap. Black nubuck has been a favorite of ours since the beginning. Nubuck is a brushed, unsealed leather, which we love for its natural and velvety finish.

As Birds We'd Be Fine
By Ice Black Birds
'As Birds We'd Be Fine' is Brighton based Ice Black Birds' second single. It has a slow, steady Kings of Leon feel about the verse that gradually builds to a chanting style chorus. They do such a good job I'm sure KOL would be proud enough to call it their own.
The flip track is the excellent 'Doors.' A crunchy, blues riff with an upbeat 60's beat rhythm mixed with an authentic psychedelic sound. The song bounces around from melodic chorus to a moody riff to powerful, gut busting verses. It's got all the ingredients for a true classic.
Both tracks are bright and catchy, and grab you the moment you hear them. The charm is in the execution, there's nothing complex about them they just sound right.

Site Warden: Kaz Phipps 01209 842877 or 07970 2282949
Site Description: Large sand dunes and cliffs overlooking a huge surf beach. Ideal for training and early soaring. This site is in the middle of a popular holiday destination so can be busy in the Summer months.
View Perranporth in a larger map
Altitude: 200 feet
Height Top to Bottom: 200 feet
How to get there: From Perranporth go NW on the B3285. At the top of the hill turn left onto the Holiday Centre approach road. Check in at the Holiday Centre Reception Office then follow the map below.
Vehicle Access & Parking: The Management of the Holiday Centre need to control vehicles entering their property. Pilots may park in the area to the North West of Take off adjacent to the caravans, marked with posts or to the South of the flying area. The parking area to the South of Take Off is usually used by HG pilots as it is closer to take off and adjacent to the HG rigging area. If these areas are full, park in the Holiday Centre Day Visitor car park. Parking Tickets are now required for all vehicles entering the Holiday Centre Property.
Please note that the Holiday Centre is closed on Christmas Day and New Year's Day so there is no vehicular access to the site on either of these days.
Rules and Restrictions: Always ring Perranporth Airfield on arrival at the site, tell them you are there and you are hoping to fly. Perranporth ATZ starts about 100metres South of take off, their telephone number is 01872 55 22 66.
Whilst Flying:
- Do not unnecessarily hang around above peoples properties.
- Respect people's privacy and do not take photos of their properties.
- Do not eject any material into any properties.
- Do not shout down to any members of the public regardless of provocation.
Guidelines: The site is used for HG & PG training, be aware of red ribboned pilots and give them space. Keep the launch and landing areas clear of gear. Because of the challenging landing conditions of the site, paragliders (except those under tuition) are advised to refrain from ground handling when busy or when hang gliders are flying. When launching ensure you are clear in front, above and behind. Paragliders, speed/mini wings should be especially aware of hang gliders launching and landing on windier days. Avoid flying low in front of launch. The ridge is 1.5 miles long, on busy days, spread out and don't hog the area in front of take off.
Do not interfere with the access or enjoyment of the public and particularly customers of the Holiday Centre on whose goodwill we depend for continued use of the site.
Rigging Notes: Keep clear of landing and landing approach areas. Paragliders are advised to prepare in the bowl and rig to the North of take off, hang gliders should rig to the South of take off behind the sand dune.
Marshalling: Use common sense and consideration for others.
Launch Notes: Watch for other pilots launching or landing or approaching to land.
Top Landing Notes: HG pilots must be aware that the site slopes toward the sea and top landing in lighter winds needs care. On approach NEVER fly over or behind the caravans where there is sink and rotor.
Bottom Landing Notes: Easy except at highest tides but watch the wind direction along the beach.
Hazards: Sink and rotor above and behind caravans. Do Not over fly. Watch for military helicopters operating with the military training area to the north. Radio controlled model aircraft and kites are often flown from the dunes.
Restricted Areas: Perranporth Airfield ATZ.
Airspace: This site is in a Military Low Flying

Massive Explosion On the Sun 202
Endoflow2010 sends word of an enormous eruption that occurred on the Sun this morning. Phil Plait describes it thus:
"What you're seeing here is a solar flare (an enormous explosion of pent-up magnetic energy) coupled with a prominence (a physical eruption of gas from the surface). This event blasted something like a billion tons of material away from the Sun. Note the size of it, too: while it started from a small region on the Sun's surface, it quickly expanded into a plume easily as big as the Sun itself! I'd estimate its size at well over a million kilometers across."
The attached video is well worth watching.

Times sure have changed. Back when we were kids, top-fuel dragsters were just greased-up velocipedes ridden by circus strongmen in leopard-print loincloths, who'd twirl their handlebar mustaches between races. Check out some top-fuel stats from today's cars. Advertisement A Top Fueler uses almost 23 gallons of gas for warm-up, burnout, and a single quarter-mile run. This is 85-percent nitromethane and 15-percent alcohol and costs about $18 a gallon. Top Fuelers go from 0-60 in 0.84 seconds and cover the quarter mile in about 4.5 seconds.

Further studies have shown that these cardiac changes were caused not only by the myotoxic effects of alcohol, but also are present in many patients regardless of etiology of cirrhosis.
These changes are characterized by abnormalities of systolic contraction in patients undergoing physical or pharmacological stress, changes in diastolic function and electrophysiological changes in a clinical condition known as cirrhotic cardiomyopathy. Increased QT interval and the pre-ejection time changes are common in cirrhotic patients.
To date no studies have evaluated the clinical relevance of changes in the heart of cirrhotic patients, or their relationship with the prognosis of affected patients. Til now, researches are based on strict echocardiographic parameters, not including several modern methods of assessment of cardiac systole and diastole. New techniques, such as two-dimensional strain, can bring new diagnostic and prognostic information, and it is not reported in the literature. Therefore, the aim of this study is to determine the morphological and functional cardiac changes in patients with cirrhosis and their prognostic role by evaluating new echocardiographic parameters of systolic and diastolic readings.

Weekly advisory of short-term option trades.

I've lost half of my IRA in the last year since trying his "Weekend Trader" series. Loss after loss sprinkled in with a rare, small winner.
I give them high rankings for consistency- consistently bad!
I tried the weekend trader for a few months and found most of the picks to be loosers. After 2 months I was in the hole about $500. I was told to change to a different service becasue the weekend series was not realtime and not as good. Other options service from this company might be ok. The customer service was good and easy to get a hold of, but I am going to sit this one out for a while
I subscribed to the Weekend Trader and paper traded instead of risking real money. It's a good thing that I took that approach, since these were the results from October 2010 to March 2011: Losing trades: 19 (average of 30% loss each) Time Stops: 9 (usually small losses nearing expiration) Break-evens: 1 Wins: 9 (most were 50% or less, one was 100%) This doesn't square with their advertisements. They list a chain of 100% to 200% winners without any losers listed or the effect of those losers on the bottom line. It's not possible to do an option by option… Read more »
When I bought Bernie's Weekend Trader, I knew absolutely nothing of trading options, not even that a contract represented 100 shares but I quickly made that deduction when the cost of my purchase was about $86K! I have traded about 60% of his recommendations. This service cost me just under $540/yr., tax in, and to date, my profit is just over $6,000. In my estimation, that makes the purchase worthwhile. I also receive the daily newletters – Schaeffer's Opening View, Monday Morning Outlook and Market Recap – and they are certainly worth the few moments it takes to peruse them.… Read more »
I started subscribing to Schaeffer's Weekly Options Alert Service back in February 2011. I did one or two trades, did well, and then went out of the country for 3 weeks on vacation. I came back and totally forgot about the service, but then decided to give it a go again last week… I'm happy to say that I have earned back my subscription fee after only 4 business days! I literally only did 3 trades with total capital investment of $4500 and made a profit of $1300. That's almost a 30% return in 4 business days! Try annualizing that… Read more »

how to get agitator off
Sometimes they REALLY get stuck on there. You really gotta yank the hell out of it. If that doesn't work you may need a puller. |
dryer problem
Probably just a fluke. If it just burned out the way they usually do, and is not shattered, you may be able to get another one under warranty. Whirlpool guarantees parts for 90 days. |
Whirlpool Gas Dryer
It sounds like the centrifugal switch in the motor. The whole motor would have to be replaced. |
How to replace outer glass
You have to take the door off, and take it all apart. To get the door off open it to the part way open position, and slide it straight up off of the hinge. Be careful taking it apart. Everything is... |
Whirlpool Washer loose lid switch
On these I've seen the screws that hold the lid to the hinge come loose and cause this problem. They are on the side of the lid. If that's not it, it could be the switch itself. It has a sort of clip... |
Reconnecting thermostat
Can you post a picture of the thermostat? |
Dyer will not operate
First thing I'd check is the door switch. |

I am thinking of staying at Ft. Wilderness on our first WDW vacation. 2 adults, 2 small children I LOVE the Wilderness Lodge and was there as a kid but if we stay at Ft. Wilderness we can cook almost all of our meals and save. PROS - more space - skip the dining plan (full kitchen) - closer to the Chip & Dale campfire - still has WL feel. CONS - How much longer is it to get to MK from Ft Wilderness VS wilderness lodge Any other cons??? Thanks in advance
The boat ride is maybe only a few minutes longer to the MK from FW. WL has a direct bus to MK which is only about 5 mins. The FW bus does take longer, but I don't know how much longer, maybe a few minutes longer? Some differences: There isn't a health club at FW or massages. There isn't a food court. (Are you sure you want to cook everyday on vacation? You'll have to factor in the cost of ordering groceries.) There is only one Table Service Vs. two at WL, but there is HDDR dinner show at FW and MBYB. You can (or might need to) rent a golf cart at FW. The beds at FW are only doubles and single bunks, not queens. You can park right in front of your cabin. There's no one else's room attached to your cabin. Everything is under one roof at WL, which is convenient and nice if it's raining. WL also has VWL which you can book on a cash reservation. FW has ponies, horses and canoe rentals. Is a geyser erupting on the hour important to you? Not trying to sway you one way or another, just pointing out some differences
I have never stayed at WL but we did stay at FW and the boat ride wasn't long. There is a table service restaurant and also a walk up counter that has cs options we got fried chicken and pizza one night and it was good (I believe there is one by the pool too but we didn't go to that one)
When we stayed at wl in June the boat to the cr would stop at fw as well. It didn't seem much longer then when we went right there with no stop. So I would say they trip is close to the same length. Maybe a couple of minutes difference.
Stayed at both last year. Had to rent a cart which added $56.00 to the bill because you either wait for a bus or you are two miles away from the boat. We did cook some meals, but less than we thought we would. Don't get me wrong it is secluded and different, but having everything under the same roof especially in the summer at WL was priceless!!

When Communicado staged the piece a few years back, the dominant image was of a wooden crate which spun round and opened up to reveal the various tableaux crammed inside. A comparable feeling of determinism and constriction is achieved in the studio space at the Gate: cast as the manipulable crowd, the audience sits in the thick of the action (or rather inaction) which is played on platforms round the side in a style of pointedly self-conscious theatricality. Danton's existential disgust that men are no more than puppets acting out a scenario penned by fate finds its ironic reflection here.
In the title role Breffni McKenna has just the right kind of fleshiness for this bored, joking dissolute but he lacks the actily weight to suggest the titan Danton once was or the philosophic despair that has driven him to the extremes of world-weary epicurism. At his ideological adversary, the sea-green incorruptible Robespierre, Jamie Newall's sickly spinsterish martinet would make the Angelo of Measure for Measure seem like one of nature's backslappers, always the first to buy a round and the last to leave.
The two best performances, though, come from Thomas Russell, whose fanatical Saint Just addresses us with the calm, sneering, dangerously compelling insolence of the head prefect from hell, and from Milo Twomey who brings a racked sensitivity to the role of the young deputy, Camille Desmoulin. Thrashing in his sleep in the condemned cell, Camille feels the sky pressing down on him like a roof of ice. The play was once described as being like "the last twitches and rattles in the throat that precede death". True enough, except that, reduced to believing that man is nothing but a physiology, Danton and his friends continue to wax philosophical about this state. Life and death, he argues, are just two stages of decomposition, the only difference "in life we decompose more tactfully".
The comedy of that "tactfully" is typical of a translation that combines slangy updating ("the Revolution's Early Retirement Policy") with moments of subtlety and finesse. Here, Robespierre asks for a bloody order to be carried out quickly, not because he has grown "squeamish" these days but because he's feeling "sensitive" - a word which beautifully conveys his capacity for self-deception. The critics were placed, like tricoteuses, on a bench by themselves. To complete the effect, they should have issued us with knitting.
