Minhe Hui and Tu Autonomous County (simplified Chinese: 民和回族土族自治县; traditional Chinese: 民和回族土族自治縣; pinyin: Mínhé Huízú Tǔzú Zìzhìxiàn; Xiao'erjing: مٍهْ خُوِذُو تُوذُو ذِجِشِیًا) is the easternmost county in Qinghai Province, China. It is under the administration of Haidong (lit. Eastern Qinghai) Region. "Hui" refers to the Chinese Muslims, whereas "Tu" refers to the ethnic group known as "Monguor" in the West and as "Tu Zu" in China. It borders the Honggu District of Gansu on the east, demarcated by the Datong River, a tributary to the Huangshui River, which eventually flows into the Yellow River.
The County is multi-ethnic and significant to not only holding the most densely populated Tu Zu settlement in Sanchuan/Guanting in its southeastern portion, but also as the homeland of the legendary Emperor Yü the Great, who established the Xia Dynasty (2070-1600 BC), the first ever recorded dynasty in the ancient Chinese history[1][2][3][4] based on recent archaeological discoveries.[5]

Osborne Clarke won a role opposite Skadden Arps Slate Meagher & Flom on Motorola's $975m (£600m) sale of its wireless network infrastructure assets to Nokia Siemens Networks.
Osborne Clarke's Bristol office took the role of counsel to the seller on the UK aspects of the deal, with corporate partner David Ferris and employment partner Paul Killen leading. Corporate associate Richard Craven, pensions partner Paul Matthews and real estate lawyer Matthew Kendall also contributed.
A team from Skadden's London office advised Nokia Siemens as lead counsel, with M&A partner Michal Berkner at the helm.
Partner Matthew Costigan at Winston & Strawn in Chicago was lead adviser to Motorola on US aspects of the deal, together with partner Oscar David. Baker & McKenzie partners Matthew Gemello and Veronika Albus handled the international side of the deal for Motorola.
The transaction had been delayed as a result of objections from Motorola's partner Huawei Technologies over the transfer of business secrets to Nokia Siemens. It was approved by Chinese competition regulators last month following a settlement between Huawei and Motorola.
An initial $1.2bn deal had to be renegotiated to win the backing of the authorities. The new deal saw Motorola's Global System for Mobile business excluded from the transaction, with the price revised accordingly.

Harris has makings of KJ, Nash, even Stockton
Updated: January 14, 2005, 3:32 PM ETBy Greg Anthony | ESPN Insider
Point guard is basketball's equivalent of football's quarterback.
The point guard is an extension of the head coach, and it's the hardest position to learn.
For some, it takes time to develop into the player a coach can trust to make the decisions that might determine that coach's job security.
This is the process that Mavericks rookie Devin Harris is undertaking and in his case, it is both a blessing and a curse.

Kelyn Rowe came off the bench to score the winner and assist the icing goal in the only MLS match on Saturday.
Having played 120 minutes in the U.S. Open Cup midweek, Rowe came off the bench for the final 23 minutes against the Fire. He didn't waste any time breaking the deadlock, scampering onto a slick Feilhaber through ball to poke home with his weaker right peg.
A few minutes later Feilhaber and Rowe exchanged a give-and-go sequence to put Feilhaber clear in the box. The Brazilian-born midfielder tucked the ball under Sean Johnson to complete the game's scoring.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
registry as of January but when he went to go and register for the last time the sheriff said that it could take years to get it completely off of his record. You will have to excuse my ignorance on this subject but he had a deferred sentence and it was supposed to come completely off of his record after he served his time on the registry which was 10 years. He was convicted of messing around with a girl in a game of spin the bottle with friends. Now it has prevented him from getting jobs and we are ready to finally put this lunacy in our past but it appears that he still has to fight for it to be off. Can we sue for them to take it off? Can we do it ourselves? I am a fulltime social work student and we have 2 small children so our means are limited but we need to know what our options areI read that we may need to file for an expunction order. Can you provide some insight? Specifically what we need to do where. Thanks so much! I look forward to hearing from you soon. Edit- Okay it was deferred adjudication when he was 15. It was only ten years that he was supposed to have to stay on it in fact even on the Tx DPS website it says it expired the 24th of January of 2011. But when he went to talk with the sherriff he said that it might take years to get it off the website. How can that be right? He served his time. And if you do a criminal background check nothing comes up. You have to specifically look at the website. Oh, and It was without contact I believe. Thanks again!
This is a complicated question. Section 62.101 Subsection C describes the expiration of a duty to register. As you can see from the link below, when the duty expires is very fact intensive.
There are two versions of Indecency with a Child. If the offense involved a 'contact' there is a high probability that the registration is for life. BUT, that depends on which part of Chapter 21 was your husband on probation for exactly.
I think it is absolutely worth seeking the advice of an attorney. Many will give you some time to discuss your concerns and whether or not you can retain their services.
Good luck.Ask a similar question
Your husband will never be able to get this case off his record. Having gotten deferred, he is not eligible for an expunction nor for a petition of non-disclosure because of the type of case. The deferred will remain on his record permanently; the only "good" thing is that it is not a conviction.Ask a similar question

His speech was clear, concise, gave the right nod to his team and to his choice of Ryan. Wished Obama well, said he wanted the job but the American people chose somebody else. That sends a very clear message to his party: the American people have chosen Obama for the next four years. Work with him. And his crowd did not boo or groan, which is also good and right. Let's hope their party colleagues in Congress get the message.

Landon Donovan and Brek Shea have been ruled out for the U.S. national team's upcoming World Cup qualifiers after having their respective injuries evaluated by U.S. Soccer medical staff.
Donovan (knee injury) and Shea (abdominal strain) were both injured in recent MLS matches but were called into camp regardless. Donovan was injured in the Los Angeles Galaxy's match on Saturday against Real Salt Lake, while Shea did not even dress for FC Dallas' crucial meeting with Chivas USA. No players will be called in to replace them, according to a U.S. Soccer press release, meaning Klinsmann will go to battle against Antigua and Barbuda and Guatemala with limited options on the flanks.
"It's unfortunate for Landon and Brek that they won't be able to play," Klinsmann said in a U.S. Soccer statement. "Landon was very optimistic over the weekend when his knee was feeling much better, but now he needs time to recover. We knew Brek was a question mark coming in, and now we have a clear picture of where he stands. We feel confident that the group we have will get the job done."
Donovan skipped Tuesday's training session to undergo an MRI on his knee, one that he was supposed to have ahead of flying to Miami but elected to skip because his knee had improved significantly, according to comments made by Klinsmann on Monday. He is slated to return to Los Angeles immediately. Shea, meanwhile, will return to Dallas to continue treatment for his injury, which he suffered on Sept. 29.

iFani – Relax And Manifest Mp3
South African rapper, iFani is here with a new single titled "Relax And Manifest" and the quality of the rhymes is just upper life.
The rapper had disappeared off the scene for a while because all the singles he was releasing from his first day gold album weren't just popping off.
On his new record, iFani confronts his beef with the Supa Mega sometime last year. iFani going Gold on the first day is what triggered the beef because AKA was not buying the fact that he sold 20,000 copies before the album dropped.
Enjoy!iFani – Relax And Manifest (AKA Diss) (43 downloads)

Comment text appears below:
Actually testing it against StudioTek would be like comparing apples to oranges. The affinity screen is a matte GRAY screen with very little gain (.9). There is no technology behind this. It is the same type of screens that have been around since the 30's. StudioTek is a white screen with a gain of 1.3. This makes StudioTek 40% brighter than the Affinity screen. Graymatte from Stewart on the other hand is a matte gray screen. That would better represent what the affinity screen is TRYING to do. The difference is that Graymatte has been around much longer, has been perfected, and is generally used for different applications than home theaters. This would be the ideal material for edge blending applications due to the fact that it is a lambertian surface (has no half gain). The problem with this for home theaters is that people do not generally create black holes to watch their screen on. What happens then is your screen will reflect the light not only back to the viewer, but on the ceiling and walls as well. Please don't be fooled by all the hype. There is nothing new about this screen. It is just new to DaLite.

I now have access to a Mac and the IMOVIE software. I'm starting to dream about creating awesome cycling videos. Unfortunately I don't have regular access to a good video camera. These two videos were just shot with my Canon Powershot camera's video-recording capabilities, and they're still turning out pretty well.
The link to go over to YouTube to watch this video is here. I don't know why embedding videos on blogger continues not to work properly.
That's the one I tried a bit harder with. This one is shorter and was my first crack at the IMOVIE software.

iPod Speaker Docks
Posted by Canstar Blue February 21st 2011
You are viewing the archived 2011 ratings for iPod Speaker Docks. There are no immediate plans for Canstar Blue to update this rating in the future.
* Overall satisfaction is an individual rating and not a combined total of all ratings. Brands with equal overall satisfaction ratings are listed in alphabetical order.
Canstar Blue research finalised in January 2011, published in February 2011.
* Overall satisfaction is an individual rating and not a combined total of all ratings. Brands with equal overall satisfaction ratings are listed in alphabetical order.
Canstar Blue research finalised in January 2011, published in February 2011.
Bose owners love their iPod speaker docks
In our recent survey of iPod speaker docks, Bose received our inaugural most satisfied customers – iPod speaker docks award. Topping the field in five of seven criteria, Bose customers are obviously very satisfied with the product they have purchased.
Logitech respondents were the most satisfied with the price of their iPod speaker docks while those who had purchased a Sony were the most appreciative of the extra features.
While overall satisfaction with the brands surveyed was quite high, there were a number of consistent themes when it came to areas of dissatisfaction. These included:
- Price
- Bulkiness
- Lack of portability (for units without batteries)
- Sound quality
- Volume range (not loud enough for entertaining or outside areas)
- Charging facility (units that don't charge while they are playing)
- Different sizes (some units don't fit all iPods and iPhones)
- Unattractive appearance and limited colour options.
Canstar Blue commissions Colmar Brunton to survey 2,500 Australian consumers across a range of categories every few months to measure and track customer satisfaction. The outcomes reported are the results from people who have bought iPod speaker docks within the survey group. To qualify, the iPod speaker dock has to have been bought within the last two years.
Brands must have received at least 30 responses to be included. Results are comparative and it should be noted that brands receiving three stars have still achieved a satisfaction measure of at least six out of 10. The ratings table is first sorted by star ratings and then alphabetically. A rated brand may receive a 'N/A' (Not Applicable) rating if it does not receive the minimum number of responses for that criteria.
Overall satisfaction
Bose have blown away the competition, and have been awarded five stars when it comes to overall satisfaction. Sony and Philips received four stars, followed by Logitech and LG on three stars.
Logitech customers were the most satisfied when it came to the price of their iPod speaker dock, followed by customers of Philips, Sony and LG with four stars. Bose received three stars.
Sound quality
Bose customers were the most satisfied with the sound quality of their iPod speaker dock, followed by Philips and Sony with four stars. Logitech and LG received three stars.
Five stars were awarded to Bose for volume, while Philips and Sony were awarded four stars, and Logitech and LG received 3 stars.
Again, Bose customers were the most satisfied, followed by Philips, Sony and LG on four stars and Logitech on three stars.
Features (ie clock, charger, radio)
Sony customers were the most satisfied when it came to the features available on their iPod speaker docks, receiving five stars, followed by LG, Bose and Philips on four stars. Logitech received three stars.
Bose portability received five stars, followed by Philips on four stars and Logitech, LG and Sony on three stars.

Your Relaxing Music Mix

There are some classic albums celebrating key anniversaries in 2015 - we take a look at some of the best, featuring The Beatles, Bruce Springsteen, Otis Redding and ABBA.
Picture 7 of 13
'Let It Be' was The Beatles final album as a band. By this stage, the foursome were on poor terms, with George Harrison actually walking out of the album's recording sessions. Was it a fitting end to the legendary group? Probably not, but it's still well worth a listen.

text: I made this last year and I love it. We have one of those swivel tree stands and it works great with it. I had trouble getting the siphon started, but when I discovered I could use a 60cc Catheter Tip Syringe, it was so much easier (I work in healthcare and happened to have it lying around). It is similar to this http://www.amazon.com/Easy-Glide-Syringe-Sterile-C... For the box I used a cube box slightly bigger than the bucket and cut the bottom off and made a slit up the back just big enough for the tubing and just placed it over the bucket. In my version the bucket just sits directly on the floor and the "present" is more of a cozy sitting on top.View Instructable »

The New Jersey Nets have an all-star point guard, a future all-star center, a defensive minded cast of role players and a lot of athleticism. But they also have just one win.
In one of the rarest occurances in NBA history, the talented Nets lost a league-record 18 straight games to start the season. They currently sit at 1-19, but are catching the Bulls in just the right time. Chicago started off the year 6-4, but is now 7-11. Bulls center Joakim Noah got thrown out of Saturdays game against the Raptors, a game the Bulls lost by 32 points.
The Bulls have been playing short-handed, with both Tyrus Thomas and Kirk Hinrich sidelined with injuries. Thomas with his arm, and Hinrich with his thumb. In their place, the Bulls have used Taj Gibson, Jannero Pargo and Lindsey Hunter. Rookie James Johnson is slowly cracking the rotation, and is looking to contribute as soon as possible.
Derrick Rose, often compared to Nets point guard Devin Harris, is struggling in all aspects of the game these days. The 6'3 athletic point guard averages just 2.2 rebounds over his last five games, and is down in points, assists and shooting percentage as well. The second year guard is even up in turnovers - the stat he himself focussed on the most. Tonight Rose will match up against another athletic wing in Harris, and try to get his game back on track.
Luol Deng, ironically the Bulls' iron man for the season, will perhaps be the best card Chicago has to play for tonight. Deng has the ability comfortably outplay New Jersey's forward rotation on both ends, and will look to assert himself early.
Guard/forward John Salmons is slowly finding his game after a poor start to the year. Salmons is closing in on 40% shooting from the field, after being all the way down in the low 30's earlier in the season. Salmons has shot the ball at a 48.4% clip over his last five outings, including a 39.5% clip from behind the arc over his last ten.
Defensively, the Bulls will look to stop center Brook Lopez. The second year man is averaging 18.9 points, 9.0 rebounds, 2.3 blocks and an impressive 82.4% at the free throw line. Lopez is a prime candidate to back up Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard at the All-Star game in Dallas in february, assuming New Jersey improves their record.
Lindsey Hunter, the oldest player in the NBA, holds a -2.9 PER and 11.6 minutes a game on the season. Hunter has connected on 15.4% of his shots, including 8.3% from behind the arc.

Cupid and his bow, Valentine and his cards, not to mention New York City and its T-shirt logo, have all conspired to misrepresent the appearance of the heart. It looks more like a boot than the traditional symmetrical appearance, in fact the hypertensive heart is called boot shaped.
Generally supposed by the public to be in the left side of the chest, the heart in fact sits behind the sternum (breast bone) in the midline of the thorax, and its several valves are all located behind the sternum. It does, however, extend more to the left side of the midline than the right. Many persons these days bear a central scar on their chests, the mark of heart surgery, When the surgeon splits the sternum down its center to enter the thorax, he first finds the pericardium, a cone-shaped and firm fibrous sac, attached to the diaphragm below and enclosing the great vessels above. This tough sac which encloses the heart, is separated from its muscular substance by a thin film of fluid, and the transparent serous pericardium that secretes this fluid.
The heart developed from a tube, by undergoing a complicated series of convolutions the tube became a four chambered muscular structure, but it should be borne in mind that the heart is muscle, specialized muscle histologically different from other muscle fibers, but bearing out the axiom in treating heart attacks, time is muscle. There are two sides to the heart, they work in co-ordination but have different functions. The right side receives the venous, deoxygenated blood via the superior and inferior vena cava, and passes it on to the lungs. The left side receives the oxygenated blood from the lungs and passes it on to the rest of the body.
Muscle fibers need an attachment, elsewhere in the body they are attached to bones by ligaments, in the heart a similar but less visible structure serves this function. The heart has in effect a skeleton, composed of a pair of tough fibrous rings, joined like the figure 8, only it lies on its edge between the right and left portions of the heart on the fibrous inter-ventricular septum. To these rings are attached the whorls of muscle fibers that compose the bulk of the heart, each side of the heart has its own distinct fibers which do not cross over. The valves that lie between the chambers of the heart, that is between atrium and ventricle of each side, also find stability by attachment to this fibrous skeleton.
The right side of the heart is flat. The great veins, superior and inferior venae cavae (Latin singular ending adds an "e" in the plural) empty their contents into it, and from there the blood passes almost horizontally into the right ventricle. There is a clinically important side chamber, left over from the development of the heart, the auricular (shaped like a dog's ear) appendage, which can be a back water in which clots may form and subsequently dislodge as emboli that get passed on to the lungs. Most of the smooth walled right atrium is in fact the vein incorporated into the heart, a small ridged area is the original portion of the developing heart, as is the auricle.
The right ventricle is horizontally to the left of the atrium, their cavities are separated by the three leafed tricuspid valve; the leaves are attached at their fixed base to the fibrous ring described, and on their free ends are attached by chordae tendinae to the walls of the ventricle. The interior upper portion of the ventricle becomes cone-shaped as it becomes the pulmonary artery, their interiors are separated by the three leafed pulmonary valve. It should be noted that the vessel is called an artery, designated by the fact it leads from the heart, not by the degree of oxygenation of blood. In the same sense, the vessel passing from the lungs to the heart is designated as a vein.
The left atrium lies at the back of the heart. Like the right atrium, it is really a coalescence of the four veins it receives from the lungs, and there is a vestigial auricle left over from the original formation of the heart. Blood flows from the left atrium to the left ventricle through the opening guarded by the two-leafed mitral valve (anatomy students learn, "the bishop is never right").
The left ventricle does the hardest work of the heart, pumping the blood around the body. The wall, which is muscle, is three times as thick as the right ventricle, and when it becomes harder to pump blood around the body because of thickened vessels, the ventricular muscle becomes thicker and the ventricle elongates to the left making the "boot-shaped" heart as seen on the chest X-ray. Normally the heart shadow on the X-ray is less than half as wide as the chest, when it widens beyond that, excessive load on the heart and potential failure is considered. Blood is pumped from the left ventricle into the aorta, through the three-leafed aortic valve.
Two coronary arteries leave the aorta immediately above this valve, the right coronary artery descends on the anterior surface of the heart in the groove between the right atrium and ventricle; the left descends down the back of the heart between the ventricles. The coronary arteries are considered "end-arteries" in that the territory supplied by one is not also supplied by the other, there is very little cross-flow possible, hence when an obstruction occurs in a coronary artery the muscle it supplies is deprived of oxygen – the typical heart attack. Unlike the usual arrangement in the body where veins run with arteries, in the heart the veins, or sinuses, are distinctly separate; the lymphatic drainage parallels the arterial supply.
The nerve supply of the heart is by the autonomic nervous system, put very crudely, the parasympathetic system (vagus nerve) slows it down, the sympathetic system speeds it up, so in the fight or flight principle of the sympathetic system the heart beats faster. The heart does not have visible nerves of the type seen going to other muscles, but has a specialized zone of muscle fibers, the pacemaker in the right atrium, and then the wave of electrical excitation is picked up by, effectively a nerve, the Bundle of His which lies in the inter-ventricular septum and sends branches to the cardiac muscle.

The 29-year-old has not played since rupturing the cruciate ligament in his right knee during last summer's Lions tour of Australia.
As he recovered from surgery, he has been champing at the bit to get back and involved for his club Wasps.
He said: "Obviously I would like to start the game and play a full 80 minutes but I have had a fair bit of time out.
"The best scenario is that I come on, play well and look fit and fresh."
When Dallaglio is called into action at Sale, it will mark the start of his attempt to regain his place as one of the top back-row players in the world.
And the former England captain also hopes his comeback will help his club end the season in style.
He said: "I am very excited. I am not a guy who is feeling tired.
"It's the start of the season for me in many ways, and the ideal situation is that Wasps win their remaining games and we qualify for Europe.
"We have got our destiny very much in our own hands, we have the majority of games at home, so it is business as usual.
"I have had to ease my way back into it and obviously we feel the timing is right.
"Wasps have a number of targets between now and the end of the season and my coming back is a step towards achieving those targets, hopefully."
Dallaglio cannot wipe the smile off his face at the moment and says he is particularly looking forward to playing under new Wasps director of rugby Warren Gatland.
When Gatland left his job as Ireland coach in November, it registered with Dallaglio but nothing more.
But he took real notice last month when Gatland moved to Wasps as forwards coach.
His position became even more significant for Dallaglio last week following Nigel Melville's decision to quit Wasps in favour of Gloucester and Gatland's subsequent appointment as director of rugby.
Dallaglio said: "Warren's ability as a coach is proven at the highest level. I felt he was really making Ireland turn the corner and they were really coming through as one of the top sides in the world.
"If you contrast their performance in Dublin against England in October with their performance at Twickenham last month, the things that changed were the loss of Keith Wood and the departure of Warren Gatland, which tells me everything about the man and his ability to get the players playing the way he wants."
Dallaglio insists the strong team spirit at Loftus Road has been unaffected by the change of coach.
He said: "You can have all the stars you want but the players recognise it is is about hard work which has been a hallmark at Wasps.
"All the news coming out of the club since Nigel's departure has been very positive. The players have responded magnificently and we are all very excited about what the future holds under Warren.
"I am sure he recognises we have a big task at Wasps and things are not going to happen overnight.
"We have some short-term objectives for the remainder of the season and obviously there are things Warren will want to look at in the longer term from player recruitment to structure of the club and how it is run.
"The priority is results on the pitch and that starts this weekend at Sale."
For now, the man who has won 47 international caps is content to look ahead.
But he knows that a quick return to form could earn him a place on England's proposed summer tour to the South Pacific, and ensure he forms an integral part of coach Clive Woodward's squad for next year's World Cup.
Dallaglio said: "Decisions on what happens next are not mine to make.
"My priority is to demonstrate to people that I am right up there and still in contention and competing for higher honours.
"The way you do that is by putting in solid performances for your club.
"I have had a difficult injury to overcome and have had fantastic help from various people.
"It has just been frustrating more than anything else, but I have always had a lot of self-belief and would come back.
"In hindsight, the rest will do me good at the end of my career."

Confession of a Lazy Trekker
The worst invention of mankind 'The Alarm' was ringing at 4 am. The cacophony of my favorite song coming through the alarm followed up with a big fight. A fight with myself. 'Why shall I go? Is it really required? Surely will go next week. Think again man. No….no…no…'. But finally my heart managed a win. I was looking for a get-out for a long time and this time It all became possible thanks to my friend Deepu,however as lazy as me, that he agreed to accompany me on the trip. At 4:10 AM, I called to wake him up and as expected, the first 3 letters were 'Are you sure?' Somehow at 5:00 AM on my Pulsar, Deepu and me reached Tidel Park stop. There we met John Kingsley aka 'John the Driver', Selva, Raj and other fellows. Thanks to some last time cancellations, we got a seat in John's car. The Journey started. Quickly let me tell you about myself (Lalit) and my friend Deepu are from TCS. It was the first ever trek for both of us. We picked other people enroute and having joined by One Scorpio, One A-Star, One Santro, One Fiat and a minivan, we left Chennai for Nagari. Alongwith machines, stomach was also asking for fuel and as planned we stopped at a Dhaba at around 7:00AM. Just outside Chennai, this Dhaba offered a quality b'fast.
As we were waiting for the minivan to come back, we started interacting with the other group members. I was amazed to see how easy it was. Bala, Selva, Ragz were visible everywhere making plans. There was IBM ki Vaani, who after listening to Deepu and me was surprised how these lazy fellows gonna trek today. Then there was a humanitarian IIT'ian (Student of Humanity from IIT-M), I don't know the name of South Indian actor his long locks were inspired from. Next I met a Satyamite; sorry dear forgot your name. In our trekking group there was another group 'Truckers', a team from Ashok Leyland, a truck manufacturing company. Finally around 8:30AM we started from the Dhaba for our destination. We reached the base camp at around 10:30 AM, parked the cars, picked our lunches and straightaway started for the trek. We carried with us 4 ltr of water, one Glucone-D (orange falvour – my fav), and a bag of Thepala (Gujarati dish, basically Daal ki Roti). On the dais, we were joined by DAI's, team from Department of Atomic Energy. We had 33 people in our group, 30 boys and 3 girls when we start the trek, 2 more guys from kalpakkam managed to join the trek in the last minute (after we started to trek) so boys count increased to 32 and now we got 35 trekkers. Start of the trek was very difficult, a very steep incline. I was hoping that just climbing this up is our complete trekking. But I was wrong, instead very wrong. One of the kalpakkam guys actually returned to base once he saw the incline.
Selva leading the trek with Bala as a sweeper and Ansar who was helping the people in the middle, end of incline was the start of a long journey, an endless walking in the mountains. Don't know how many we crossed. Climate is definitely not in favor for the trekkers, it was very hot, humid, without any breeze and the temp was around 40c and not much shadow as most of the trees are destroyed by fire. 7 mistook the trial and diverted from original path or completely lost, this should be a lesson for all the trekkers to always be in a group and be in touch with lead or sweeper. 3 people stayed in the middle and not able to continue the trek, 23 people not ready to give up and continue the trek, patience was running out along with my 4 ltr of water. My boring but a/c office was in my dreams now. Suddenly, there started a steep descend. I heard we are nearing the temple and the waterfall. Finally when we reached the fall, sight of it was just amazing. There was a spring waterfall forming a pool. It was the best gift you can expect from Mother Nature. Water was so crystal clear that you can clearly see the stones over its bed. Like a 10 year old kid, everybody jumped into the pool. It was so cold in there that everybody was shivering. There were monkeys everywhere. One group was we, jumping in and out of the pool. Then there were originals who were robbing our food items like the Pirates of Caribbean. I don't know swimming but looking at Selva and the Satyamite jumping in the pool, I couldn't resist the fun. I trusted both my lifeguards and enjoyed 3 jumps. The guy from Satyam came up with a brilliant idea to bail out his company, 100 Rs for one jump. In came Bala with ketchup and Pickles and we had our poolside lunch. Now it was time to go back. It was 3:30PM and Bala left first with waters for group who couldn't reach the temple (the only place with water), saying let's meet at the base by 5:30PM.
Trekking back was not at all easy, rather much more difficult because of our relaxed bodies. The steep incline was looking like a Mount Everest. After crossing it I was really feeling myself as Sir Edmund Hillary. Thoughts of the back seat in John's Palio for sleeping kept Deepu and me going. We reached the base around 6:30PM, thumping fists like Dhoni was doing after winning T20WC. It was almost 25 kms in total that we trek. I was wondering how we did it and that too in such a good time. Not a bad start to trekking. Last group came back at around 8:00PM. Bidding adieu to everyone we started our journey back. Though having a cramp in the leg, John managed a very good speed and we reached Chennai at 11:00PM. To our delight, Sarvana Bhavan was still open and we had a nice dinner. A great trip came to a great end. Having met so many great people and the pleasure to exchange thoughts with them, I really want to thank CTC for their continuous efforts to provide us these opportunities. Sincere thanks to Bala and Selva for organizing this trek. Looking forward for the next trek (my mind is fighting again).Written by: Lalit
Organized by: Selva, Balamurali Krishna

This is not meant to insult people who believe in evolution. It is just me, stating a huge part of the reason why I, personally, believe there must be a God.
This was written to one of my professors, who believes that life is meaningless, due to the fact that we're all just products of evolution, floundering about in an accidental universe.
One thing the evolutionists don't teach you is how to deal with the meaninglessness their theory implies.
Factual errors aside,
How can I believe they're wise
When they're so wrong about the essence of life?
If life is basically nothing but a natural progression
And all us here are just products of natural selection
How can you say all this with reassured inflection?
I have a problem with you saying my life has no use
Most people would qualify that as verbal abuse.
You stand there and tell me we're just accidents
That the best we can stand for is meaninglessness
Doesn't your soul ache as you give false evidence?
As you deliver your lies, don't you ever feel spent?
If what you say is true,
It defines everything I do.
There is no meaning to bringing a drink of cold water to the stranger bringing my mail
Or holding a child as he wails
Or trying again, when I fail.
There is no meaning in speaking up for my beliefs
Or working someone else's shift to give them relief.
There is no meaning to all the searing pain I go through to support a needy friend
Or to remind her that this is not the end.
There is no meaning to all the sacrifices I've done for my family
No meaning for fragile hands that struggle to hold to beliefs.
There is no meaning to hang on to hope, when my sister lies in her hospital bed
Just skin stretched over bones, looking so close to dead
Or to the tears on my face, or hands covering my head
There is no meaning to the hours I spent, convincing my friend not to cut her skin
Or that those very words kept her from breaking down and giving in
There is no meaning for my oldest sister and her son
Who overcame abuse and homelessness and other stuff
Or that my sister is winning the fight she's begun
And she'll have a story of battles she's won.
There is no meaning for overcoming my fear
Or that I've not self-harmed for a whole freaking year!
There is no meaning to wind in my hair
Or the aroma of autumn in the air
Or laughing with barely a care.
There is no meaning to Truth-filled thinking
Or my brave friend who gave up drinking
Or the prayers I write to keep from sinking.
There is no meaning to the novels that open my heart and bleed my soul
Or stopping depression, or climbing out of that hole
Or begging for redemption to be whole
Or creating sparks from lumps of coal.
There is no meaning to reaching out to my friend, who's finding her way
Or to the sleep I lose, as I desperately pray
Or to getting out of bed today.
There is no meaning to the hope that kept me from considering suicide
Or to the heartbreak of watching someone's soul die.
There is no meaning to healing the mute
Or the Child born in the Gospel of Luke
Or the fact that my friend's stopped making herself puke.
There is no meaning to the way my heart physically aches and burns and cuts like claws
Because the beautiful soul I've fallen so deeply in love with hurts himself and rejects God.
There is no meaning to my feelings
Or the healing
Or the Truth taped to my ceiling
Or the beauty of believing.
If what you say is true, there is no meaning to any of that.
How can I live, if there's no meaning to that?
I believe in a God Who gives meaning to that.

NARS Portrait of Paradise: Laguna Makes an Appearance in Many FormsThursday, May 05, 2011
NARS Laguna is one of those cult items that everyone should own. It is an amazing bronzer that seems to work for most skin tones, even my own super pale skin. For a limited time it's available in different formulas including a multiple and illuminator, though I think the best option is likely this palette. It contains Laguna, Orgasm blush and Albatross highlighter. I love them all! Wouldn't this be perfect for paring down your makeup bag during travel?

Wal-Mart, Apple line up in favor of proposed sales tax holidays
Madison — Two of the nation's largest and best-known corporations, Wal-Mart Stores Inc. and Apple Inc., are lobbying in support of a Wisconsin bill that would waive sales taxes on purchases of some computers and back-to-school supplies one weekend a year.
No one from either of the companies appeared at a Tuesday hearing in support of the bill, but online records show they combined for 20 hours of lobbying on the measure after it was introduced last year.
The hearing on the sales tax holiday idea comes as Gov. Scott Walker and lawmakers await an update later this month on the state's budget picture. The better the news, the more likely that the sales tax holiday idea will be seriously considered.
The Republican-backed proposal had been languishing until Assembly Speaker Robin Vos (R-Rochester) said last month that if the state's budget can handle it, he would like to make Wisconsin the 18th state to have a sales tax holiday. Iowa is Wisconsin's only neighbor that does it, and the sales tax exemption applies only to clothing sales up to $100.
While Vos is supportive, Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald (R-Juneau) said last month that some of his members viewed it as a gimmick. That could pose a problem for the proposal, which must pass both the Senate and Assembly and be signed by Walker before taking effect.
Democrats and even one Republican, Rep. Michael Schraa of Oshkosh, raised concerns about the sales tax holiday idea during Tuesday's hearing. Schraa said it would put a burden on small business owners who would have to reprogram their cash registers to not charge sales tax. He said a better approach would be an across-the-board sales tax cut.
Democrats said they didn't believe consumers lured to the stores on the sales tax holidays would actually spend more on other products, as the bill's supporters argued. The state Department of Revenue estimates the bill would cost the state $14.5 million in lost revenue.
Customers will buy more than what they originally came to the store to purchase, said Frank Julian, a vice president for Macy's who testified in support.
"The customers love sales tax holidays," Julian said.
The savings will also attract buyers from other states, said the bill's sponsor, Rep. Chad Weininger (R-Green Bay). Sen. Rick Gudex (R-Fond du Lac) is a co-sponsor.
"This is a welcomed tax break for working families during an expensive time of the year," Weininger said.
The bill proposes waiving sales taxes on certain targeted back-to-school items the first weekend in August and on Energy Star qualified products, such as energy efficient appliances, the first weekend in November.
The August sales tax holiday would apply to clothes and school supplies costing less than $75; computers less than $2,000; school computer supplies costing less than $250; and instructional material sold for less than $300.
The Department of Revenue could cancel the tax holidays in any given year if the state's financial condition warrants.
Wisconsin's sales tax rate is 5%, but 62 out of 73 counties also impose a half-cent sales tax. The Wisconsin Counties Association, which did not testify, opposes the measure.
While Apple and Wal-Mart lobbyists spent 20 hours working on the bill, another supporter spent far more twisting arms. The Alliance of Wisconsin Retailers lobbied 109 hours on the measure, based on records maintained by the Government Accountability Board. That group includes Kohl's Corp., Shopko, Lands' End, Home Depot Inc., Sears and others.

I guess that makes me an Easter Grinch. But I'm standing firm on this one. Instead, we carefully boil and then color a bunch of eggs and scatter them around the yard for our little bunnies to collect. It's a beautiful, low key, family ritual that I have loved passing on to my boys. My only problem is: what to do with the dozen or so hard boiled eggs that are left over? My husband isn't a fan of them, so I can't turn to my good old human disposal to take care of them. And there are only so many of those bad boys my little guys will eat before boredom sets in and they start to turn up their noses at them. So, rather than throw out the 6 or so stragglers that always seem to lurk in the back of my fridge this time of year, I went in search of some delicious dinner recipes that use them as ingredients. I can't wait to make some of these dishes this week! I agree with you on the Easter egg hunt. I do NOT like my kids hunting for eggs with candy in them. We made 3 dozen boiled and colored eggs for my kids and my 4 neices and nephews. It was so much fun to watch them color eggs. We did a plastic egg hunt (put on by the grandparents, not the Easter bunny). And was so proud that my son, passed up plastic eggs to find the Easter eggs. He was insistant that the plastic ones were just eggs, not Easter eggs. Each family got a dozen of the boiled eggs to take home. But its not hard for us to go through them, as my hubby takes 3 for breakfast every morning to work. We do filled eggs a bit differently. We fill our plastic ones with dehydrated or freeze dried organic fruits, organic chocolate covered raisins or blueberries, organic fruit juice jelly beans (these are the most candy like thing), organic yogurt pretzels, nuts, things of that nature. Each egg (small) is considered a serving size (we think) and the girls (7 and 3) think they are the best treats ever! We dye eggs with natural dyes made from veggies, and we eat them up with everything (but only the whites because we think the yolks are yucky). = > We are a family of deviled egg lovers! There are NEVER any left at the end of the day! (We also have 16 people in my immediate family though!) As for a plastic egg alternative, when I grew up noone I knew hunted the plastic eggs. We always hunted cascarones! You take a raw egg, poke a hole in one end big enough to empty the insides out, let it dry for a day or so, fill it with confetti and glue a piece of tissue over the hole. Then you smash it in your hands over someone heads and the confetti goes all over them! They are time consuming of course, and you end up covered in confetti, but they are so worth it!! You could actually buy them pre made at Walmart this year. This Internet site provides information of a general nature and is designed for educational purposes only.

Men Nike Free Run 2 Grey White Blue,As you begin to play golf, the golf spikes on your golf shoes, are going to wear down, over time. I'm Jared Garbett, with Echo Farms Country Club, and I'm going to teach you how to change your golf spikes. You're going to take a spike tool. You can get them at any pro shop, or most of the time, your local pro shop will change the spikes for you, if you ask them. You're going to take your tool though, and insert it into the two holes, in the golf spike. You're going to press down, and twist it out. The old spike, you can just do away with. Then, you'll get a new spike to replace it. You can begin the spike into the hole, with your hands. You'll gently twist it in there, and it will click into place. You're going to want to use your tool again, though, to lock it down. You're going to twist it to the right, until it clicks three times. After that, the spike is locked in, and you're ready to keep on playing golf. You always want to make sure you have fresh spikes on your shoes, so you don't slip, whenever you're swinging, and that is how you replace your golf spikes.
Welcome To Official Web Site Of Men Nike Free Run 2 Grey White Blue,Men Nike Free Run 4.0 V2 Light Charcoal Silver Chrome Yellow Walker made seven of 18 shots, nine of 11 free throws and one of five three pointers. That three pointer pulled UConn to within 51 50 with 4:22 remaining in regulation. Walker's smooth pull up jumper from the left gave UConn a 58 55 lead before Anthony Crater tied it on a long three with 28.4 left. What was perhaps his best play resulted in a basket for Shabazz Napier. Walker made a steal under the UConn basket, started a fastbreak and dished to Napier, who made a layup high off the glass for a 56 55 lead. It was UConn's first lead since 16 15. "Give UConn a little credit, especially Kemba Walker," South Florida coach Stan Heath said. "We put up a wall, had 10 pairs of eyes on him. . What a terrific player. We thought we were doing a pretty good job, and it just seemed like the last three minutes he had another gear and he got a little bit stronger than the rest of us, and made some terrific plays." Calhoun offered more praise for Walker. "We've played 12 games," Calhoun said. "I haven't seen anybody else on the other team like him. They can't do the things he can do inside and create a bad situation into a good shot." Men Nike Free Run 2 Grey White Blue Both experienced and new nurses will confirm the importance of a nursing interview. This is one of the factors in advancing your career or at least entering the real world of nursing. That is why if you are already on schedule for a nursing interview, you should be best prepared. You can never guarantee approval during the interview but as long as you come prepared, you can maximize your chance of making it work to your advantage. Here are some tips to follow in preparation for a nursing interview: Collect your credentials. There is no better way to prove your skills but by showing your credentials. Here are the things you should keep in one folder to prove your competitiveness: Resume. Make sure to check and recheck your resume. There should be no mistake, even the smallest one, on your resume. Nursing license. Have at least two copies of your license or a notice that you have passed the nursing board score. List of references. This is only applicable if you have already worked for some employers. List every employer you had with their complete address, email address, title, and telephone number. Make sure to ask permission from these people to be put on your list of references. Criminal background check permission. Almost all hospitals will require you to be checked for any criminal offense. The record usually digs up to seven years of criminal history. Prepare for the interview questions. Research for the basic and advance questions during the nursing interview. You can ask the nurses you know to give you tips. Searching online will help, too. You can frame your own questions as well by being in the employer's shoes. What will you ask an applicant if you're the employer? Maybe you want to know if the applicant is a team player or how she will deal with difficult people. You might be asked how to handle difficult and unexpected circumstances. Plan what to dress. As a nurse, you should be neat looking. Do not wear loud accessories. Dress as simple and as neat as possible. You don't have to wear a nurse suit with cap. Just be casual yet clean. Don't wear perfume, too, if you're planning to have something on. Some people might not like the way you smell. Prepare your questions to the interviewer. There is a possibility you will get hired. So it's reasonable that you ask the interviewer questions like the ratio of nurse to patient, scheduling, orientation, support staff, professional opportunities, and challenges faced by the company. Be confident, yet humble, during the nursing interview. You don't want to intimidate the interviewer with your over confidence. You can be confident and humble at the same time by talking politely. Consider having a mock nursing interview with a friend, too. This will help you determine the points that still need some improvement. That way, you will know your level of preparedness for the nursing interview.

By Kevin Stoda, Kuwait
Recently, the International Herald Tribune (May 6, 2008), published on its front page a story by Robert F. Worth entitled, "Democracy Becomes the Fall Guy in Kuwait". Since on 17th of May, Kuwaiti voters are participating in national parliamentary elections, it is certainly an appropriate time to analyze Kuwait Democracy and how it is performing at this junction in history.
Worth began his piece on Kuwait democracy by citing the comments of Ali al-Rashed, who recently gave a speech during his campaign for the National Assembly of Kuwait, in which he said, "'Kuwait used to be No. 1 in the economy, in politics, in sports, in culture, in everything,'. . .'What happened?'"
The focus of Worth's article from that point on is about whether having too much democracy in Kuwait is really the reason why international investors and others do not bet on much progress in Kuwait in 2008. This is contrasted with the high levels of foreign investment and hope in the future found in the Qatar and United Arab Emirates, where Dubai and Abu Dhabi are located.
Neither Dubai, Abu Dhabi, nor Qatar have a particularly strong history of democratic development as compared to Kuwait, which was the first country among the small Gulf states to elect its own parliament nearly 50 years ago.
Worth writes that in recent times, "Kuwait has been overshadowed by its dynamic neighbors - Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Qatar - where economies are booming under absolute monarchies. Efforts to reform Kuwait's sclerotic welfare state have stalled in its fractious and divided Parliament, and noisy scandals led the emir to dissolve the chamber last month for the second time in less than two years, forcing new elections yet again."
Moreover, Worth notes that "despite vast oil reserves - the world's fifth-largest in a country smaller than New Jersey - many Kuwaitis complain that their bloated public sector has long neglected the country's public hospitals and schools. Problems with the power grid caused brownouts last summer. Although parts of Kuwait were rebuilt after the Iraqi invasion of 1991, much of it looks faded and tatty, a striking contrast with the gleaming hyper-modernity of Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Doha. There are few opportunities for private investment. A self- deprecating motto has gained currency here: Kuwait of the past, Dubai of the present, Qatar of the future."
Having lived for over 5 years in the Persian Gulf, I feel that certainly the description of Worth's on Kuwait being at once unbelievably rich and at the same time comparatively underdeveloped is often accurate.
On the other hand, I do not quickly fall into the fascist-, communist- or simply misguided- paradigm of blaming democracy for the country of Kuwait's underdevelopment and mismanagement of the past 5 decades.
That would be like blaming democracy for the malaise in Egypt or even of the current Civil War in Iraq we are observing today. It would be like blaming democracy in America for the current regime's mismanagement of society and economy at all levels.
In fact, Worth, too, admits that most Kuwaitis do not blame democracy for the country's malaise and bad management, especially in the areas of (1) lacking economic investment in a variety of sectors, (2) the poor standard of health care in the richest per-capita country in the world, nor (3) the poor educational standards achieved at primary, secondary and tertiary levels to date.
Despite its many shortfalls, as one university business student, Nawaf al-Mutairi, has pointed out, "[But] we know democracy is our last hope. The problem is just that democracy is incremental."
As well, there are some facets of society and some people in the ruling Sabah family who do not like parliament. The 1961 constitution had reduced the power of the Emir.
This distrust among some Kuwaitis and its parliament has been very strong at times. In the last 47 years, the parliament has been shut down by the ruling family's chosen Prime Minister on six separate occasions--and sometimes for many years at a time.
