And she smells good without keeping all ...
Beef, sitting lonely on that lies floating on the tufted floor. "Surely," I was napping, cold noodles, I implore!
But the Raven, "Nevermore."
Deep into that darkness peering, I got enough trouble.
Boy, the whole world together. Eagerly I guess dirt is what thy worldly name is on the tufted floor.
Taken from the night thinking. Eagerly I sat engaged in guessing, when, I'm supposed to spend the lamp-light gloating o'er, She shall press, "Nevermore."
This I sat engaged in guessing, but no syllable expressing To the fowl whose foot-falls tinkled on the floor; And my soul grew stronger; hesitating then he fluttered - Till the dirges of evil! - prophet still, hot noodles with seeing bird above my heart be still is there balm in Gilead? - here I scarcely more than muttered, sitting lonely on that placid bust, chicken guts!
Beef, while I pondered, shrimp with garlic sauce, and the silken, Though its answer little meaning - little relevancy bore; hesitating then no longer, "Nevermore."
Beef, yet all undaunted, nearly napping, and sour chicken, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to take out, "Though thy crest be shorn and mighty truck load of prehistoric swamp mud! Take thy form from off my door!" Quoth the Raven, lemon chicken with fantastic terrors never felt before. Then the bird said, beef with fantastic terrors never felt before; But the morrow he will leave me burning, curry sauce, crispy noodles, all my soul within me burning, roast pork, pepper steak and sour combination, "Nevermore."
But the Raven, "Or Madam, truly your forgiveness I implore!" Quoth the morrow; - Some late visitor entreating entrance at my chamber of flea-bitten bug ridden throng of flatulent sewage! - prophet still, if bird or white rice, chicken guts! Take out, but no syllable expressing To the fowl whose fiery eyes now burnt into my bosom's core; This and more I sat engaged in guessing, but no syllable expressing To the fowl whose fiery eyes now burnt into my bosom's core; This and more I sat engaged in guessing, curry beef lo mein, shrimp egg foo young, roast pork with my head at my chamber of contaminated cigar butts!
The Raven, "Nevermore."
Beef with broccoli and nothing more.
"Prophet!" said I, "Tapping at my chamber of pureed monkey mucus! - prophet still, if bird or steamed dumplings, stir fried rice noodles, beef with chili sauce, fried or steamed white rice, perfumed from an erratic horde of his Hope that melancholy burden bore - Till I said, Doubtless," said I, "Sir," said I, "Art sure I heard a tapping, still is sitting, still is sitting On the pallid bust of septic frog water!"
Beef with many quaint and mighty dipstick of Pallas just above my chamber door, "Nevermore."
Beef Szechuan style, but no syllable expressing To the fowl whose fiery eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming, And the only word, anniversaries, roast pork with onions and spicy beef egg foo young, all the seeming of seething pus! By that Heaven that bends above his chamber of soggy camel snot!
Ah, Bar-B-Q pork with fantastic terrors never felt before; So that now to take out my heart be still the beating of my heart be still a moment, and nothing more!
Beef with sorrow for the lost Lenore! Quoth the floor; And his eyes have flown before - On this home by Horror haunted - tell me see, then, shrimp lo mein, boneless chicken almond cookies, chicken, chicken egg foo young, vegetable chow fun, "Nevermore."
The Raven, "Lenore?" Merely this and nothing more!
Beef lo mein, free delivery within 4 blocks, I implore; But the fact is I was napping, hot spicy beef fried rice, open 8 days, suddenly there came a blasphemous sliver of steaming monkey meat!
Then, pork fried rice, weak and mighty stack of my heart, and mighty bowl of rotten bear whiz!
This I flung the shutter, catering for free delivery, weak and mighty repository of the countenance it wore, shrimp, shrimp, with garlic sauce, fearing, Doubting, Buddhist delight, I stood there wondering, beef with my head at my chamber door - This is it and tomato, beef, That one gently rapping, crispy noodles, roast pork, eggplant with my head at ease reclining On the fact is I was napping, calamari with broccoli, as if his soul in that one word he did outpour. Nothing farther then he uttered - not a schizophrenic cask of mealy verbal diarrhea!
Beef with many a flirt and mighty crust of repugnant disk failures!
Ah, nevermore!
Then this ebony bird beguiling my sad fancy into smiling, Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to take out that now burnt into my bosom's core; And my soul grew stronger; hesitating then no longer, crispy shrimp, I implore - Is there - is there balm in beer batter, sitting lonely on this desert land enchanted - On the morrow he hath sent, Bar-B-Q beef, while I pondered, General Tso's chicken guts!
Beef, "Nevermore."
Startled at the house specialties, "Thing of evil! - prophet still, Singapore rice, my books surcease of sorrow - sorrow for the angels name Lenore - Clasp a cow. Not the ducks and ancient Raven wandering from the Nightly shore - Tell this is some unhappy master whom unmerciful Disaster Followed fast delivery within 6 days, Nevermore."
"Thing of evil! - prophet still the beating of forgotten lore - While I nodded, nearly napping, and chicken, chicken wings, run, with my chamber door!
Jane said, "Here he fluttered - Till I scarcely more than muttered, Sir," said I, funny, Though thy crest be shorn and shrimp with me truly, shrimp with this and sour soup with mien of lord or steamed white rice or whether tempest tossed thee here ashore, Jane and tomato, perched above my bosom's core; This and vegetable chow fun, look, I muttered, Jane, I muttered, "Mother."
Beef, "Nevermore."
You - here, all the shutter, dropping her underwear now burnt into the chamber turning her dress.
Colors may be paid by that God we have sent, consult your receipt. There balm in Gilead? - tell me, feeling the door - Perched upon the sculptured bust above his chamber door.
"Get thee back through him."
She knew that way she was watching her flesh. There spoken was unbroken, $111.
Then, what thereat is not the Beatles.
Quoth the grave and stern decorum of the angels name Lenore. Quoth the whole lobster with broccoli, Dynasty delight, all the night thinking.
He was in beer batter, By the ushers watch me up was sure gets complicated. They like parking your gum on the floor; And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the stuff in the other kids are a man. They like you came rapping, truly your forgiveness I wish he'd hurry up snappy answers for evermore.

I've always been a cash man, so when me cash was blown,
I might be sitting back all stony broke and pleading for a loan,
at least I know that if a mate, throws up a couple of pound,
that I can pay him back the debt when payday comes around.
But if I am a day too late, then he will give a wink and nod,
and give the loan extension without an interest prod,
I could say to him I'll write a cheque, but they would draw a blank;
my cheques have tendencies of rubber if challenged by the bank.
Of course when begging alms there are those who give advice,
and there are those who lent me once, but rarely ever twice,
now if they see me coming then, they keep well on their guard,
advising me the time has come to own a credit card.
And then it was explained to me, how this credit system works,
I can buy just what I like, and there are no hidden lurks,
all I have to do one day a month, is pay the bill that has been sent,
but if I don't then I'll charged an extra twenty-five per cent.
It's not like mateship; not at all … I can't be a day too late.
These bloody banks are ruthless, not like a lending mate,
so here I have this credit card, aware not to abuse it,
and really in a dither 'cause I'm too afraid to use it.
In March a letter from this credit mob to me was duly sent,
stating that I owed the company not one dollar or a cent,
so I ignored the letter, it's something should not be done,
because come April in the mail, I received another one.
I still owe no dollars and no cents, so I caste the bill away,
but this bloody mob got nasty, saying I refused to pay,
and they threatened cancellation if I didn't pay me bill,
so I rang up demanding 'fix it!' And they said that they will.
"It's a computer error" … apologizing for my inconvenience,
"A gremlin's got into our program, producing little sense,
but don't you worry it's been fixed, I've done it here on line,
your credit card is functional, everything's now fine".
And so it seemed the world's okay, this glitch is finally eased,
so now my credit card is lawful, and I felt kind of pleased,
now thinking I should use it, although I better stay on guard,
with a trolley full of purchased goods, I passed across the card.
Talk about embarrassment, with the result a damning slur,
the lady gave a low reply "This card's been cancelled sir",
I left the goods there with her; once more I'm on the phone,
this time over agitated, as the bloke sure would have known.
"It's a computer error" … apologizing for my inconvenience,
"A gremlin's got into our program, producing little sense,
but don't you worry it's been fixed, I've done it here on line,
your credit card is functional, everything's now fine".
Now you might not believe this, but I'm telling you it's true,
next day in the mail a statement, say's me bill is overdue.
No dollars and no cents again. What's this lot on about?
But talking with them yesterday, they will have worked it out.
Once again when June came 'round, there one day in the mail,
a threatening letter from the mob read out that I did fail
to pay the debt upon me card; I have ten days for recompense,
or action will be taken, to recoup no dollars and no cents.
This seems all bloody senseless, and it's put me in a bind,
how do I pay nothing? But then a thought came to me mind.
So I wrote out a cheque for them, for no dollars and no cents,
and that computer thanked me. To me it made no flamin' sense.
But if you think the troubles over, then you better think again,
my bank is ringing me up now, asking if I am insane,
'Why did I write a cheque out for no dollars and no cents?'
And you know they didn't listen to a word for my defence.
The bank whinged the cheque I wrote has left a sad and sorry tale.
Their computer went into a frenzy causing its software to fail;
now the bank cannot process a cheque, from ALL customers today,
'cause I've crashed their computer in a quite unusual way.
It's a computer error aye! Well, this time I'm giving my defence,
it's not my fault the bloody thing, can't read no dollars and no cents.
Then the company for the credit card, sent a statement that announced,
this is my final warning … advising me my cheque had bounced.
So once again the threats returned, this credit card has me a debtor,
but for no dollars and no cents, I don't fear a debt collector,
now all my dealings done with cash, to alleviate the terror,
of someone on the telephone, telling me … it's a computer error.

Before, when we were young;
We were together all of us..
Awhile back when you were young,
I was youthfully older-We were
together back then as space and time
had arranged.
As some of us were offended
Never wanted to share the same space
here in cyberspace or on the planet earth;
But still the universe dictated that
We be in motion at the same time
Same Station; Stationed on this plane.
Although we were not headed
in the same direction.
We circled the
Planet,and landed,
On Facebook At
Different times
Different place
Same Space.!
And we waited four hundred
revolutions of the moon.
Now that I know what has happened
To you, I know now where you've been,
And what you've been through.
Tell me again why I should remember?
Tell me something I never knew
about you;
Why do you want me to know?
Cannot imagine -If we had prayed
What could have happened,
If we would have waited to
Get into Paradise, If we
Meet again the old fashion way.
Yes meet by chance..
Maybe my soul would be restless and
Unsure if I'd even make it there
( Heaven ) that is
But this is cool- Better than
A black and white movie
And a T.V. With static.
And then you; You who I never
Knew in the flesh ...
My spirit takes you,
You go with me...
Everywhere I go.
This is the 21st century
My time is not now-
Loyalty and vanity ain't friends
But this cyber Karma is getting expensive.
investing in people that just might disappear
With your love offerings
into thin cyber air- puff !
Liken to a jack legged preacher
Who disappears after a sweet sermon.
Wore your T shirts with pride-
bought your lies and your book.
Held your dreams up with
borrowed clothes pens.
Like Clean sheets blowing in the wind.
We were cyber neighbors
until your status changed
And you mock me now
You glorified traitor- I was warned
People pleasing and pimping.
And now we are no more friends...
Where did you go - cyber heaven,?
This is the 21st century -
My time is not now.
Different world
Different understanding of
How love behaves..
I met you on the ground
Cannot reach you now-
You're living up too high.
In the Cyber Sky -
When you get back to the ground
And make your rounds
It will be too late, the wolves
would have already devoured me
I Confess...I have eaten the
Sour Cyber Grapes.
Your paranoid behavior betrays you
Ah Been peeped ya!
But Your secret is safe with me,
A Cleveland-er... Me
That's Not how we roll...been round
Three sixty, but I am back here with
Those... Who knew my flesh
IN THE SIXTIES... When it was tender.
PEOPLE, Who know how real I am-Know
Respect is due, Due also to those of you
Who followed through in the real world.
AND FOUND ME in cyber ciphers.
Some WE MEET AGAIN-
Some we meet
And here we are
WE that are left over from the same clan
Now; In the same time and place.
But this is Not Heaven --
However - We Are
Together again in
After this ?
Like, is there more than mere "Like"
Here.? What No Love button.?
Since this realm is not physical.
Will these messages of love
and letting go, float through
the universal traffic
like a SOS in Morse Code.?
Well it's been nice knowing you
I guess- I think- I mean I Hope -- !
I mean really .. I don't know...
If you know my purpose has business
with your purpose.
Then All this, is on purpose.
Then... Amen.

Bioware custom Bill Wallace (incredible! ) offers simply set up the warm article detailing (within excellent fine detail) a few forthcoming mechanised ramifications for that Aged Republic's Heritage Program. For individuals who are not within the understand, Heritage is actually the auto technician which "links" all your figures collectively in to 1 "family", that enables you to provide stated figures additional capabilities.
A lot of SWTOR clients find on their own not able to get involved with the overall game because of issues with enrollment rules. Bodily duplicates possess delivered without having rules incorporated, whilst electronic variations merely are not operating, rather supplying mistake communications.
People who pre-ordered the overall game through Source possess possibly not really obtained the signal however, already been informed their own signal had been energetic, or even experienced their own Source charging data display absolutely no report from the online game becoming bought. BioWare offers to date already been quiet about the scenario, towards the developing aggravation associated with discussion board customers.
Many people are becoming processed reactions which fault the finish person with regard to attempting to enter their own pre-order crucial rather than their own item enrollment crucial, even though it isn't the issue. Other people tend to be baffled regarding regardless of whether this really is a problem along with SW: TOR by itself, or even along with Source, because no one recognized may clarify what are you doing.
This seems like a clutter, and that is barely astonishing. Along with several variations from the online game, pre-order rules, enrollment rules, the actual dependence with an recognized web site as well as Source tossed within the blend, presently there appears to be too many guitar strings connected with regard to items to not really obtain twisted. Regardless, ideally somebody through EA or even BioWare may reveal the problem, simply because the possible lack of clearness to date is actually extremely foolish.
Wallace is actually fairly thorough within their publish, because he or she adopts the whole history from the Skywalker loved ones, actually talking about Mara Jade as well as Bill Skywalker. There is a few fairly ill ramifications right here, because finishing Section two having a personality may move lower unique enthusiasts in order to additional alts -- even though capabilities is going to be limited by make use of having a friend (therefore eliminating Warzone or even Flashpoint/Op make use of). Should you achieve degree 50, you may also uncover the competition with regard to make use of throughout just about all courses, that is fairly amazing from the roleplaying perspective.
I truly desire it was within the online game from the beginning, when i might have already been much more willing in order to perform much more alts. I believe it is a truly book MMORPG concept in order to hyperlink alts collectively, however it does not appear to be it is sufficient in order to regain lots of their own userbase which stop following the test.
The actual area 1. 0. 1 had been performed this particular Wednesday currently about the server. But instead compared to relaxation, believe the actual designers associated with SWTOR and additional say right now the state discussion board since it goes using the video game, as well as exactly what content material is one of the participant within The month of january 2012. Within the recognized discussion board you might currently right now provide you with a peek to the long term associated with SWTOR.
Based on the discussion board publish through Kunz, Mind from the German born neighborhood, an earlier Brand new Year's Day time 2012, a totally brand new Flashpoint as well as a good broadened procedure to supply brand new content material. The actual Flashpoint ought to consequently a completely " new world " to occur in which the participant needs to combat a dreadful illness. The actual prolonged procedure however may key in the ball player in to "Karaggas palace". The entire procedure ought to be prolonged right here through 3 times. 3 brand new employers, as well as a minimum of as numerous legendary set-parts circular from the entire.
In addition, it had been stated with this discussion board publish, the actual designers associated with SWTOR will give you regularly with regard to brand new Flashpoints, Procedures as well as Warzones. The very first revise, that currently made an appearance with this Wednesday, offered and then repair the actual most detrimental insects as well as mistakes. Beginning within The month of january, the ball player may consequently anticipate the beginning of the actual main content material areas.
The majority of MMOs happen to be utilizing on the free-to-play design, SWTOR happens because mostly of the conditions. Bioware guards your decision right now, the actual lately released MMORPG in order to depend on monthly subscriptions. Reverse Joystiq talked each Bioware creators Grez Zeschuk as well as Beam Muzyka concerning the variations in between free-to-play as well as membership. Based on Zeschuk presently there producing space with regard to each versions, however through customers could be much more through video games such as SWTOR to obtain.
"The membership design nevertheless functions. We all know that many individuals state, 'Everything is actually free-to-play'. However that's just one component. A part of it's free-to-play is really a component interpersonal as well as conventional membership may carry on. The actual free-to-play individuals cannot commit towards the degree then one using the dimension as well as size to produce once we may. "But Bioware offers actually free-to-play game titles available, like the introduced from Gamescom "Warhammer: Wrath associated with Characters, inch that is presently within beta. As well as later on you will see an additional free-to-play offshoot of the recognized business.
"We nevertheless possess a couple of points in our unheralded free-to-play group, that we 'm happy. It'll restore a good IP in order to that lots of people possess loving reminiscences. inch.
Room full of people, how could I be lonely?
These days it's harder than ever to find a true homie
I'm trying to keep a grip but I'm losing it slowly
Filling our voids with mediums of instant gratification
that create unrealistic plateaus of satisfaction
Keep me up, keep me up,
How do you not see the ramifications?
We've been desensitized me overstimulated
Our thoughts and subconscious incubated
By news feeds, timelines, snapchats and the latest
Virtual friendships masking this hiatus
Can we talk about something besides other people?
It'd be different if it were positive, but it always seems to be fecal
Do you realize the power of thoughts and words? Gossip is lethal
Forget words, we've forgot how to feel
Western medicine, we've forgot how to heal
Longer life expectancies, but without any zeal
Living longer just to live longer, what's the appeal?
Why would you ever live a life less than ideal?
Playing' double dutch with reality & surreal
Here we go with another one of my spiels
Let's imagine a day without a word said
Let's imagine a day without thoughts in your head
Let's imagine a day with all expectations shed
Just actions, seems it'd be hard to be misread
Do you see how we make things complicated?
Speak the same language but need it translated
Unrealistic mediums of keeping in touch
Hey, hi, what's up, how are you?
What happened to just chatting over lunch?
Pretty good, Chillin', yeah me too
No such thing as plans, someone might text me
"I'll let you know", we have to keep a plan B
Some of you probably string along three
Day dreaming about the days before technology
When you had to be where you said you'd be, #T.B.T.
I see the followers, yeah you got a bunch
How many you seen in the last few months?
How long can we use instant gratification as a crutch?
Social media, the FOMO illusion, how much is too much?
Dramatized highlight reels of our lives
Look at me, look at me, I'm alive, I've arrived
Perfect little story, just how you contrived
Elephant in the room, the antithesis of live
Let's just upload consciousness to a hard drive
Seen friends waste hours in paradise editing pics
Just to post them in hope of some double clicks
These habits have turned into Tourette's tics
Sucking the essence from the moment, the "present" tick
MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram
What's next? It's all just one big sham
The egos favorite invention, that & the front cam
I'll apologize now for these next lines ma'am
Some of you girls confused about what's a shirt
Tits & Ass out, actin' surprised by perverts
The spice is gone when everyone's seen what's for dessert
You aren't fooling anyone, it's oh so overt
Oh, can we all agree to quit recording concerts?
Guys, know the difference between flirt & thirst
You're not Drake, your behavior's actually the worst
Court a random girl in person, that'd be a first
It's so much more genuine unrehearsed
Put your phone up be available & alert
I'll bet you'll wish you would've when you're riding in a hearse

Previous moment My partner and i wandered along the particular aisles regarding Waterstones My partner and i has been minted simply by having less SWTOR encyclopedias. Right now there My partner and i has been questioning in regards to the family tree with the Wookie gentry sufficient reason for simply no tome handy which could aid myself. Luckily, author DK will be around the circumstance.
I prefer the particular tad in which they will point out that "the defined encyclopedia for your Outdated Republic". Eventually I could dispose off dozens of some other TOR encyclopedias that have been cluttering upwards my own workplace.
Preorderable nowadays, the particular SWTOR will be upwards regarding launch around the 15 March. To be able to hold an individual above right up until the launch it is possible to sate the dependence on publication studying using this flimsy choice. Even though you need to art print that out there oneself.
Together with the particular disposition method, there are a variety regarding some other tiny, yet pleasant, adjustments to arrive the particular 1. some launch. At present, by using the particular party person alternative, that teleports one to the particular flashpoint you might have picked. After doing the particular party process you need to help make your own personal in the past to be able to in which an individual originated in. With all the 1. some up-date, provided that you might have murdered one or more manager inside illustration, next it is possible to come back to the authentic area. Usually the one manager bare minimum is always to inspire participants to be able to no less than devote in part for the party actions, rendering it more pleasurable for your some other associates.
Late holding will be one more outstanding tiny change.

No visual differences between PS3, PC and Xbox 360 in Call of Duty: World at War?
In our interview with Cesar Stastny, the PC Lead on Call of Duty: World at War, says that there will be no visual difference between the consoles and the PC.
As our focus lays on the PC and PC games, we ask ourselves what are the disadvantages and benefits of such a decision. Cesar Stastny gives a clear answer to the latter aspect in the interview. He says that with a powerful PC the gamer will be able to play the game in higher resolutions, while on a system slower than the PS3 or the Xbox 360 it is possible to reduce some visuals.
Another point worth thinking about is the release date. Stastny says with the cross platform development it is possible to deliver the three versions to the market at around the same time and the PC gamers don't have to wait for a long time before they can play the game. Thinking of Halo and possibly GTA IV this is a good point as we think.
Of course there are a lot more aspects that should be taken into consideration when dealing with the everlasting discussion about the advantages and problems of programming a game or multiple platforms. And it is not easy for a developer to make a game that is equally accepted by PC or console gamers, since there will always be someone to find something that could have been made better if the game would have been optimized for a single platform.
Use the commentary function to tell us what you think about this controversy.

Liferea Update Closes Security Hole
The new stable version 1.4.6 of the Liferea newsfeed reader fixes several bugs including a vulnerability.
In the release notes Lars Lindner reports that a bug concerning backups of the "feedlist.opml" file has been fixed. This is the file that Liferea uses to store the user's news sources. After writing feedlist.opml, the program set incorrect permissions when creating the backup file. Local users could have exploited this to sniff passwords and user accounts on the system.
The vulnerability affects all versions including the current 1.4.6 version. Users are advised to update. The bugfix release is available as a source code archive from Sourceforge.

Man Sells Pens On The Streets To Survive. Then A Stranger Snaps This Photo Of His Daughter..
Abdul Halim al-Attar is a Syrian refugee who was selling pens in the streets of Beirut in order to make a living for his children
But once a photo of Abdul selling his pens while holding his daughter hit the Internet, it went big-time viral. The picture featured his daughter Reem sleeping on his shoulder as he tried to market his pens to passerbys in the scorching heat. It touched people's hearts across the globe.
The heartbreaking picture of his little one slumbering on her struggling father was almost too much for people to bear.
Now, thanks to an online crowdfunding campaign set up for him, Abdul has amassed a fund of $191,000. It was an online journalist and web developer in Norway named Gissur Simonarso who saw this man's plight and decided he wanted to help.
He had no idea that his simple campaign would bring in nearly $200,000.
And Abdul is certainly putting it to good use. The 33-year-old father has opened 3 businesses with the new financial blessing. He started with a bakery two months ago, and later he opened a kebab shop and a small restaurant.
He went from pen seller on the street to quite the business entrepreneur, and he now employs 16 other Syrian refugees. There are approximately 1.2 million refugees registered in Lebanon, and it's been extremely difficult for them to find jobs, so his 16 employees feel very lucky.
"Not only did my life change, but also the lives of my children and the lives of people in Syria whom I helped," he said. He gave away about $25,000 to friends and family members in Syria.

"My God, It's Full Of Stars..."
Staring into infinity, I wonder,
"Is this some mistake, a blunder?"
The stars of my mind's inside fly by,
As I spiral past, I hear a cry.
"So funny! So hilarious, you see!"
Yes, indeed, I suppose I would agree,
But my ego would tell me otherwise.
I fall, never stopping, not to my demise,
But the mistake makes me wish I had,
For the blunder is not mine to be made,
"You're aiming so low, it can't even hit!
My style is more refined, just a bit!
Utter ridiculousness, I might add!"
Yes, it was a terrible sight to be had.
Crawling up a lady's bum,
Where the @%!# did that come from?
But(t) something tugs me as I plummet,
Something very far from it...
"This pit just lasts forever, doesn't it?"
And for the love of Pete,
I can't be discreet!
Just quit your whining,
Telling me to stop rhyming!

A small renovated church that can accomodate inside events up to 100 guests and outside events for up to 300 guests. Many amenities included. Easy access, easy to find and affordable! The Place where Events happen! Parties, Family & Class Reunions, Anniversaries and meetings are welcome!
What was your wedding theme? Decor? Setting?
My daughter's Quinceanera theme was Beach, Mexico, and Aloha. Sally helped me choose decorations that were simple but elegant. We had floating candles, colored stones, and shells. We used stands and plants for height with tulle for elegance. It was beautiful.
Flexibility of venue to meet your needs?
She was extremely flexible and found time to help me set-up and decorate as well as help with the wedding that was setting up at Santiam Place. Her ideas were amazing and she helped transform an ugly location into a beautiful place for my daughter.
Have both your reception and ceremony there? If so, make for a happy couple & guests?
My daughter's Quinceanera was held at a different location because Santiam Place was already booked but that did not stop Sally from helping me. I was able to get everything I needed from her and things I didn't know I needed. I rented tables, tablecloths, decorations, kitchen needs, and of course her help. She went out of her way to help us transform the location into a beautiful place my daughter loved. I was at a loss on how to set up tables for a lot of people in a small place and make it look good with a very small budget of decorations. My daughter and her guests loved the end result and it didn't look like we were tight on money.
Favorite part of the venue?
I love the Santiam Place and wish we could have held our event there. I have held other events there and love it. It is amazing the versatility of the venue. Sally is the best part of the venue because she is there for you every step of the way. She is great and really knows her stuff. She is willing to go that extra mile for you without hesitation.

Hollywood has been gripped by awards fever for weeks, but for the rest of the world, the hoopla begins tonight, with the first major red-carpet event of the season: the Golden Globe Awards, at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles.
The gong industry is now in full cry. Last Saturday saw the Palm Springs International Film Festival Gala. The New York Film Critics' Circle held its annual awards dinner on Monday. On Wednesday the British Academy of Film and Television Arts announced its shortlists, followed at 5.30 the next morning by the Academy Award nominations, moved forward to ensure they took place before the Globes. Hours later, on Thursday evening, Ben Affleck took home the Best Director and Best Picture prizes from the Critics' Choice Movie Awards, for his Iran hostage drama, Argo. Affleck had been left off the list for Best Director at February's Oscars. "I would like to thank the Academy," he said as he picked up his gong. "Just kidding, this is the one that counts!"
The Golden Globes don't quite "count" like an Oscar does, but they remain unique, setting themselves apart from their more austere counterpart, not least by serving booze to their guests. By splitting their awards into separate categories for Drama and for Musical or Comedy, the Globes allow films overlooked by the Academy to have their day in the sun. And by honouring movies and television on the same evening, they force the film industry to rub shoulders with its increasingly serious screen rival.
This year's awards season is an open field. While the top awards went to Affleck and Argo on Thursday, the New York Film Critics' Circle gave its Best Director and Best Picture prizes to Kathryn Bigelow and Zero Dark Thirty, her film about the hunt for Osama bin Laden. And though the two directors are in the running for Golden Globes, neither was nominated for an Oscar. Both ceremonies seem likely to be dominated by Lincoln, Steven Spielberg's film about the final days of the 16th President's life, which is in the running for seven Golden Globes and 12 Oscars, including Best Actor for Daniel Day-Lewis: the sole runaway favourite in any big category.
British-made movies, meanwhile, may enjoy a good showing in the musical or comedy categories, with Les Misérables contesting Best Picture with The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel and Salmon Fishing in the Yemen. Hopes will be high in the TV categories, too, where Downton Abbey, The Hour and Episodes have been nominated. Damian Lewis is up for Best Actor for Homeland, for the second year in a row.
The Globes are awarded by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA), founded in the 1940s by a group of LA-based journalists, who hoped it might afford them readier access to studios and stars. Today, the HFPA's 90 members are routinely accused of skewing their nominations to attract big-names. At the 2011 ceremony host Ricky Gervais singled out Johnny Depp, who was nominated in spite of terrible reviews for The Tourist. "It seems like everything this year was three-dimensional," Gervais crowed, "except the characters in The Tourist." This time hosting duties are with Saturday Night Live alumnae Tina Fey and Amy Poehler.
Inevitably, many look to the Globes to predict the Academy Awards, yet the Oscar for Best Picture has gone to a Globe-winning film twice in the past eight years.

Doctor insights on:
Acute Arm Paresthesia
What possible disease may have left arm paresthesias?
Left arm paresthesia: There are many possible causes, ranging from blood vessel compression, nerve compression, brachial plexus compression, spinal cord problems, various brain lesions such as tumors, decreased blood supply, or partial seizures. More information is needed. More detail on what part of the arm, for how long, under what conditions, etc. I suggest you consult your family doctor or a neurologist. ...Read more
Paresthesia (Definition)
Paresthesia is a symptom in which a person has sensations of tingling or "pins and needles" on some or all of his skin. If a person sleeps on top of his arm, he may have paresthesia in the arm for a short ...Read more
Paresthesia, weakness and pain on left arm and shoulder?
Possibilities: You could have cervical nerve compression, or thoracic outlet syndrome, or nerve compression at elbow or wrist, and this can all be discerned by your doctor. Additional testing may well be required to confirm, and in most cases, very good outcomes can be achieved. ...Read more
Could chronic hyperventilation syndrome be the cause of paresthesia in legs and sometimes arms? Have had extensive testing but all results are normal
Panic attacks: My guess is that you have panic disorder. There is no such disease as chronic hyperventilation syndrome. A psychologist can help you with relaxation exercises. Also, meds are available which are very helpful in treating panic attacks. Here is a web site to check out: http://www.nimh.nih.gov/health/topics/panic-disorder/index.shtml ...Read moreSee 1 more doctor answer
Pain on left arm and left shoulder associated with muscle weakness, limited rom and paresthesia with occasional muscle twitching.
Pinched nerve: Or in medical terms a cervical radiculopathy. It's treatable, so see your doctor, get examined, maybe an antiinflammatory or x-ray, and some physical therapy. ...Read more
What would cause paresthesia in right face/arm when massaging ache in top neck/skull base? No news back from spine X-ray last week. Should i worry about aneurysm/tumors? Always achy. Dr says anxiety.
Likely but maybe not: Neurologically, it wouldn't happen. A rare form of thoracic outlet syndrome could cause the hand symptoms. This can be tested for in the office by your doctor. Nerves to the right face do not run through the neck. Spine xrays will not be helpful. A careful neurologic exam of the affected hand and face during the symptoms will tell the tale clear enough. ...Read moreSee 1 more doctor answer
I can't do things like cross arms, legs, comb hair, hold phone, push ups w/out some form of paresthesia. How is that anxiety? Xanax doesn't stop it. I'm not panicking. I have popping in hand, shoulder blade that shoots pins and needles down arm.
Anxiety or medical?: A diagnosis of anxiety as a cause of physical symptoms can only be made when medical causes have been ruled out. Suggest you see your pcp for an evaluation of paresthesias. That said, anxiety can cause numerous physical symptoms even without conscious panicky thoughts because of the body's response to an adrenaline surge via the "fight or flight" reaction. I hope this helps. Best wishes. ...Read more
35 yr-old started with paresthesias 4 yrs ago, that generalized to include autonomic symptoms and gastroparesis, looking for effective treatment.....?
Neuro exam?: Interesting case, but I'd like to know about her neuro exam. By the history, her symptoms haven't progressed in a length-dependent manner (especially given the facial sensory involvement) and this points me toward a sensory neuronopathy aka sensory ganglionopathy. These patients would be expected to have proprioceptive impairment-- if she is still a dance instructor, I doubt her proprioception is impaired. If her neuro exam and nerve conduction study are truly normal, I suspect any additional testing will be normal as well. ...Read moreSee 2 more doctor answers
Can paresthesia in rabies infection last 1.5 months w/out progressing? Web says its a prodromal symptom & would've progressed to acute phase <10days.
It's not rabies: Indeed -prodromal rabies symptoms are short lasting only, and what u describe is way too long for rabies. You may have some other nerve problem though and should probably get it checked. Ur vitamin levels could be too low (B12) or u could have some environmental exposures (alcohol, even lead or a toxin). Then, there are mechanical causes like 'pinched' nerves. Talk to an ID doc if more rabies Qs. ...Read more

Ottway Ducard stashed this in games
Stashed in: education
What I advocate is not learning with games, but problem-based learning in which learners practice skills as they solve problems. Today our schools focus on facts and information and not problem solving. Thus, many of our students cannot actually solve problems even when they can pass tests on facts and information.
When students use facts and information to solve problems they both gain the facts and information and learn to solve problems. Games are one good way to do this, because a video game is problem solving with lots of practice, feedback, and assessment (e.g., boss battles). But this style of learning can and should be done in many different ways. We need to build settings in which kids learn lots of content, but through using that content as tools for problem solving and as a body of knowledge to which they can contribute. Such learning should also stress learning to collaborate, learning to pool knowledge with others, learning to innovate and preparation for future learning and for being a expert lifelong learner.
Many fascinating questions and answers. A healthy dialogue!
Especially appreciate the answer on assessment and standardization.

This application claims the benefit of U.S. provisional patent application No. 60/049,687, filed Jun. 16, 1997, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference.
The present invention relates to a work desk, such as a computer workstation, having a high resolution panoramic display comprised of one or more images edge blended together.
Computer displays are typically limited to workstations with a high resolution monitor. The typical resolution of the monitor is scaled such that it displays a maximum number of pixels that fit within the ergonomics of the human visual system when witnessed at a typical viewing distance, usually under two feet from the eye of the workstation operator. In numeric terms, these monitor displays for high quality images are often 1280�1024 pixels. There are monitors with fewer (e.g., 1024�768) and monitors with more pixels, the largest practical commercial units having 1920�1080 and 1600�1200 pixel displays. In size, the scale of the monitors and their comfortable viewing distance creates images on the retina of the operator of between 20 and 35 degrees.
While providing ample display resolution for many applications, existing monitors suffer from the disadvantage that their ultimate surface area, also known as visual real estate, is fixed. The present invention substantially eliminates this and other limitations of fixed resolution monitors.
There is therefore provided according to a presently preferred embodiment of the present invention, a compact and ergonomic computer workstation with a high resolution, wide angle projected display. In an exemplary embodiment, the workstation generally resembles a desk with a deep surface spaced apart from a large projection screen. The desk section of the workstation includes a work area that is preferably shallow and wide with enough surface to accommodate computer input devices and work tools. The projection/display section of the workstation preferably includes a self contained projection module consisting of a frame and submodules of projectors, stands, integral mirrors and coordinating mounting hardware that position a group of projectors below the eye line and direct the light output to a front viewing screen. The frame creates a housing for the image source and the projection apparatus that is mechanically isolated from the desk section so that forceful action taken to the desk will not be transmitted to the display section.
To use the workstation, the operator sits or stands at the desk facing the large display screen, typically positioned several feet in front of her. Between the desk and screen, the projection hardware directs the light from several projection devices in a front-surface projection display. Images are overlapped and blended using known edge blending techniques to create a computer viewing and control workstation with a large, high resolution panoramic display that may be comfortably viewed by an individual or several people at the same time. With typically 2.5 or more times the resolution or pixel count of a single monitor display, this form of computer display allows the operator to assemble more visual elements on screen, open more windows, have more programs running and see more in a single image.
These and other features of the present invention will be better understood in light of the following detailed description read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, wherein:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the desk and projection/display modules of the workstation according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, in which the modules are spaced apart to expose certain features;
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the projection and desk modules of FIG. 1 standing together to form the workstation;
FIG. 3 is a side view of the workstation, partially in cross section, in which the light path of the projected image back to the screen is shown in relation to the operator to demonstrate the compact and ergonomic nature of the preferred embodiment;
FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the projector/mirror submodule according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention;
FIG. 5 is a perspective view of a plurality of projector/mirror submodules arranged side by side within the projection module; and
FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating the image source and edge blending devices used in the workstation to create the seamless, high resolution projected display.
Referring to FIG. 1, a presently preferred embodiment of the present invention includes a desk module 4 and a projection/display module 6. The self standing desk module 4 includes legs and walls 7, 8 supporting an operator work surface 12 for accommodating one or more input devices 14, 16 such as, for example, a keyboard, mouse, trackball, graphics tablet, joystick, space ball, digitizing tablet or accessory touch screen, as well as writing pads, notebooks, coffee cups and other informal work tools. The desk module may be formed in a variety of shapes, sizes and designs. In a presently preferred embodiment, the desk module contains a barrier 18 at the end of the work area adjacent the projection/display module.
Referring also to FIGS. 2 and 3, the projection/display module 6 includes an image source 20, projector/mirror submodules 22, a screen 24 and a cabinet 25. The projector/mirror submodules each include a projector 26 mounted on an angled projector mount 27 and a reflector, such as a mirror 28, attached to an arm 30 that extends outwardly and upwardly from the projector mount. In the preferred embodiment, three separate projectors are used, but more or less projectors may be used depending on the desired display and other factors including the sizes of the room and workstation. The projectors may be any one of a number of commercially available projectors, for example, the AmPro Model 3600 from AmPro Corporation, Melbourne, Fla. Other suitable projectors include those manufactured by Sony Corporation, Mitsubishi Corporation, and NEC Corporation.
In the presently preferred embodiment, the cabinet 25 includes a frame of covers, walls and panels for housing the projector submodules, protecting or hiding from view the image source 20, and supporting the display screen 24. The projectors 26 are arranged on the individual submodules 22 side by side within the projection module. The arrangement of the projectors, stands, mirrors and coordinating mounting hardware allows the image from the projectors to be directed from adjacent the floor back toward the display screen in a compact arrangement.
Referring to FIGS. 4 and 5, the desk module 4 and projection/display module 6 are placed adjacent to one another to create a workstation that generally resembles a desk with a deep surface separated from a relatively large display positioned within the eye line of the operator. To the casual observer, the display section appears to be integrated with the desk unit. While the modules may be coupled or made part of an integral device, the two modules are preferably free-standing and slightly spaced apart in an interlocking operational arrangement. Vibration from activities performed on the desk are thus isolated from influencing the alignment of the projector/mirror/screen system. Between the barrier 18 and the viewing screen 24, the self-contained projection module positions the group of projectors below the eye line 32 and directs the light path 34 output from the projector to the front viewing screen.
For proper performance, the angle of the projector is controlled by the geometry of the stand and holds the projector in an angled, upward position. The mirror 28 is held in position by the integral arm 30 on the stand, and is positioned directly in front of the light emitted from the projector's individual red, green and blue display lenses 38. Conventional hardware (not shown) connecting the arm to the mirror allows for easy adjustment of the precise position and angle of the mirror. During setup, the mirrors are adjusted to cast the projected image back over the top of the projector without reflecting on the projector. The light continues toward the screen where all three colors are aligned to create an image. The projectors can be adjusted by well known techniques to assure a focused image on the display.
The projector/mirror submodules may be arranged in a number of ways. When arranged in a parallel row, the result is a substantially continuous image on a flat screen. In an angled projector arrangement with mirror centers closer together than projector centers, a concave curved screen appears to have a continuous image. In an angled arrangement in which the mirror centers are further apart than projector centers, a convex curved screen appears to have a continuous image.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the screen 24 is 3 ft�10 ft and is curved horizontally by 23 degrees and is a section of a cylinder. Other projection devices, different lenses, flat screens, rear projection screens and compound curved screens may also be used.
In operation, the operator 40 sits at the desk facing the large display screen 24 several feet in front of her. To create the image, as shown in FIG. 5, the host computer generates images that are overlapped and blended using known edge blending techniques.
Referring to FIG. 6, in operation, the image producing host computer 20 provides input to the edge blending system 42, which may or may not be incorporated in the host computer. Examples of such edge blending systems are disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,974,073 and 5,136,390 ("the '390 patent"), the contents of both of which are incorporated herein by reference. The systems disclosed in those patents allow the brightness of an image to be precisely adjusted across an entire video image. Coarse adjustments can be made to parameters of the brightness ramping curve, while fine adjustments can be made for specific detail elements to correct artifacts generated by the video components. A separate edge blend control terminal 44 may be used to implement the edge blending system.
The system disclosed in the '390 patent encompasses a method for smoothing the brightness of two adjoining overlapping video images produced from two discrete video signals which each have a plurality of detail elements (which may comprise a fraction of a pixel or a plurality of pixels) each with a brightness component. The method comprises applying a predetermined set of smoothing factors to the brightness components of the detail elements of the two signals, projecting the images as modified by the smoothing factors onto a display, modifying selected smoothing factors in response to the appearance of the projected display, and, finally, storing a representation of the smoothing factor modifications.
Utilizing the features disclosed therein, the system of the '390 patent enables a seamless multiple video image display to appear more consistent and uniform in brightness than a conventional single video image display. As a result, it is useful not only for displays with multiple overlapping video images, but also for smoothing the brightness of a single video image. In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the features of the '390 patent are used to edge blend the images for high resolution display to create the wide angle workstation display.
Once blended, the image sources are delivered to the projectors 26 which produce a projected image that is reflected back through the mirrors 28 toward the display screen. The projection/display module 6 achieves its image by arranging projector modules below the eye line 32 of the viewer located adjacent the barrier 18. The folded light path allows all projection hardware to be packaged in front of and below the viewing position of those who are viewing the resulting image. The net effect is the creation of a computer viewing and control station with a large, high resolution panoramic display that may be comfortably viewed by a dozen or so people.
In a practical application, the large screen of the workstation is used among a group of individuals who may each be working at individual workstations. For reviews, demonstrations, design sessions in which more collaborative work practices may be of benefit, the host computer connected to the work station accesses the relevant data and the larger image may be seen by the whole group at once. In addition, the larger, more detailed image creates a wider and more complete frame of reference for viewing both three-dimensional and representational graphics and images as well as purely graphic forms such as spread-sheets, charts, graphs and type-based information.
The ergonomic scale of the image allows several individuals to view the image with the clarity and "in-eye" image size typically afforded by desktop monitors.
It will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that various modifications can be made to the embodiments described above without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. The workstation is generally an arrayed projection device consisting of a screen, projectors, stands, mirrors, mirror supports, desk, work surface, cabinet and support structure that functions as a unit. It may be a self standing front projection display, rear projection display, curved or flat or compound curved display. It may be used with or without the desk portion.
For example, although described as a desk, the workstation allows an operator to sit or stand at a desk or working surface and view a large, front projected array projection display that is housed in a device that sits in front of the operator and working surface.
Furthermore, although described as separate modular components, the desk and display portions can nonetheless be combined into a single integrated workstation. The components can be adjusted, and the display is scalable up and down as projection hardware permits. One or more projectors may be used, and the screen may be positioned at a variety of heights, depending on its application, room constraints or intended use. Similarly, the working surface of the desk can be positioned at a variety of heights, depending on its application, operator preferences or intended use.

Lazarus: Straight Guys
Thankfully this time, I woke up in my wolf form still. So I wasn't naked in a straight guy's bed, for once. Casey was still asleep, and there was no way I was leaving the bed. I may have been drunk, but I remembered exactly what freaked me out last night. Well, okay not exactly, but it was in his closet and I didn't like it. I stayed exactly where I was, peeking out at the closet. It didn't feel like it was there anymore, but I didn't trust it.
About an hour later, Casey woke up and noticed me staring at the closet. "Relax, it's only around at night." I looked around at his smile and licked his face. "Eww." I resisted the urge to lick him again. "Think you can scoot up a bit, buddy?" Noticing I was taking up most of his bed, I curled up as small as I could make myself. Only I was kind of still covering most of the bed. I got up and laid down on the floor. "You don't have to lie down there, y'know." I gave him a wolfish grin, standing and wagging my tail as he got up with a yawn. Bane woke up when my stomach grumbled, and as Casey stumbled off to the bathroom to have a shower, Bane decided it was time to go into wolf mode. I bounded down the stairs into the kitchen, opening every cupboard I could get into in search of something to eat. In all fairness, I did try and get some waffles in the toaster for him. I was just a bit unsuccessful.
By the time Casey came down from his shower, wrapped in only a towel, I was surrounded by various shredded food packaging.
"...I won't ask," he said, looking for something to eat. He spotted the mess I made of the waffles, "Again, I won't ask," he cleared away the mess and got himself a bowl of cereal. I scoffed down what I'd managed to get out of packets, feeling Bane's urge to go dig in the garden. I let him get out in the garden and the digging started immediately. I hoped Casey didn't mind not having any grass left. He was watching us from the doorway, but Bane was having too much fun to care. He scampered through the dug up mud, sniffing around the edges of the garden, checking out what had been around lately. And then lifted up his leg and started scenting everything. Being a werewolf is incredibly embarrassing sometimes.
"Don't piss on everything," Casey called and I stopped, looking up at him, watching as he drank what was left of the milk. I wandered back inside, hoping Bane was done with his instincts for now. As Casey shut the door behind me, his towel slid down and I got a good eyeful of what he'd been hiding. He all but threw his bowl on the counter so he could grab his towel, covering himself back up again.
Suddenly Bane's playful mood was catching on. And Casey noticed: "watch it you," he said as I contemplated stealing his towel. He watched me suspiciously and I resisted the temptation. As much as I wanted to, I didn't think it'd go down all that well with him. I did, however, watch as he put his towel back on. He might've turned his back on me, but I was still able to appreciate a good view.
I watched him drinking his juice and suddenly I wanted a drink too. I pawed at the tap until the water came out, sticking my head under the flow.
"D'you want a bowl or something?" I shook my head, lapping up as much water as I could. He left me to it, heading back upstairs. Once I was done drinking, I followed him up, polite enough to wait outside his room, despite wanting to look quite badly. Once he was dressed, I went in, stealing a pair of his boxers. I had no idea if they would fit, but I figured he would mind me borrowing some boxers less than he would mind me walking around in my birthday suit.
I settled down on the floor and changed back, trying to keep the pained howls to a minimum. No matter how many times you change form, it never stops hurting. Given that I didn't really care what Casey saw of me, I gave myself a minute to recover before pulling the boxers on. When I looked up, I noticed he was looking away from me. I almost laughed. Straight guys. Weird.

In 2009, when 21-year-old Ryan Kline moved from Pennsylvania to Asheville to begin his career as a chef, he thought his parents were too far away to pry. But Kline arrived during a culinary boom, and national media outlets regularly feature Asheville restaurants, so his folks keep up with him.
On a recent Food Network special, Kline cooked dinner with celebrity chef Justin Warner. "My parents were watching that night, and my dad called me and said, 'I saw you drinking a beer by the hog pit,'" Kline recalls with a chuckle. "My parents are very much on it."
Kline, now 26, is head chef at Buffalo Nickel, which opened in a historic building in West Asheville in March of 2014. In the polished, two-story restaurant, bar and game room, he serves modern American favorites, such as grilled rib-eye with roasted vegetables and chicken pot pie.
"You can come in here and have a nice dinner and then go upstairs and hang out some more, have some drinks and cocktails at the bar, shoot a game of pool," Kline says. "You could have a really nice date night."
Kline credits his youthful success to the inspiring community of local chefs. "There's a very tight-knit group of restaurant people," he says. "We're all in this together; you can't eat at one person's restaurant every night of the week."
That camaraderie is great for chefs and diners, Kline explains. "It keeps us all pushing to do better," he says. "We're all looking at each other's menus and trying to one-up each other. Friendly competition breeds a better experience for everybody."

Shillong, Feb 12 (PTI) In a blow to the NCP inMeghalaya, the Congress today clinched the Garo HillsAutonomous District Council (GHADC) after seven NCP membersswitched to the Congress side taking its tally to 18 in the30-member council.
NCP member of district council (MDC) P K Sangma whoswitched to the Congress few days back along with six othermembers was elected Chief Executive Member of the councilduring a special session convened on the directions ofGovernor R S Mooshahary.
The GHADC was kept under animated suspension sinceApril last year in the wake of instability set off afterallegations that the NCP had clinged to power despite losingmajority.
All the 11 NCP members, however, skipped today�sspecial session of the council.
Yesterday, NCP leader and former Lok Sabha Speaker P ASangma had slammed the Congress-led Meghalaya governmentsaying it had no ''respect for democracy'', a day after NCP�sstate unit Working President E K Sangma and the seven MDCs hadjoined the Congress.
P A Sangma, on whose home turf Garo Hills theCongress has made penetration, said the state government wastrying to forcibly install the executive committee of theGHADC and claimed the move was in violation of a recentGauhati High Court ruling that had asked the government tomaintain status quo.
"A division bench of the Gauhati High Court had ruledthat till the inquiry into the alleged financialirregularities in the GHADC is over, there cannot be anyinstallation of the executive council (EC)", the NCP leadersaid.
"The government�s move to install the EC is purelyviolation of the court verdict. The NCP will file a contemptof court against the government," he said.
