Photo of the Day by andrejrusskovskij2013-11-05 1 2 Share Tweet
Our Photo of the Day is a portrait of a fine looking young woman with the scenic view of a majestic bridge in the background, taken by our community member andrejrusskovskij in Budapest, Hungary. It was taken with a Lomo LC-A+ loaded with Fuji Velvia film.
The photo is part of the album the weight of living. Andrejrusskovskij shares a few words about this album:
Diary of the Last 2 Months
"Pics taken in London (while I was working in the UK), at home in Italy (Isabel took some portraits of me in the cornfields near my place), in Budapest (where Isabel is now living and working). My life is gonna be veeery chaotic!"
We assume that the beautiful woman in the photo is Isabel, and not surprisingly, we can find more of her images in andrejrusskovskij's lomohome.

Unruly Colts fans subject to 'fan conduct class'
The Colts pre-season starts this weekend. There are some new security policies in place but one thing remains the same. Behaving badly at Lucas Oil Stadium can get you booted and banned from returning.
Most fans know the behavior.
As Terry Jones said: "It's people who are unruly, yelling, screaming, standing up in front of you and getting obnoxious, the normal stuff that happens when people drink too much."
While Colts fans are known for being among the best-behaved in the league, some do get out of control.
According to the Capital Improvement Board, which runs Lucas Oil Stadium, last season 64 fans were ejected from the stadium with nine arrested.
As they were escorted out, they were given a letter outlining the Colts "fan conduct class."
It's a four-hour online course which fans kicked out of a game must pay $75 to take and pass if they wish to attend future games at the stadium.
Larry Hall, Vice President of Ticket Operations and Guest Services for the Colts, explained, "We want everyone to have a good time, but never at someone else's expense. So if someone uses foul language or excessive alcohol that would be against the fan code of conduct.
While Hall said this year it's now an NFL best practice, the Colts were one of the original teams to adopt the rule.
He said the course covers everything from alcohol abuse and stadium policies to stress management and communication skills.
"In the end it's meant to be an educational process in which they come away with a better understanding of their behavior and how it affects others trying to enjoy the game," Hall said.
Fans attending the Colts camp in Anderson were surprised to hear about the course, but mostly supportive.
Carol Simpson said, "I think it's really fair, to keep it safe and especially with families."
Her husband Scott Simpson agreed. "The days of the 1960s and 1970s macho fan are over and football has really spread out its fan base."
Janice Houghton added, "It sounds beneficial. When you have people that don't use common sense and respond in suitable ways, they might need some help."
Hall said so far all the fans who've taken the course have passed and when they do they get a certificate of completion that they must show to attend future games.
Asked how anyone would know if someone not having season tickets were thrown out, he said, "If they're ejected we get a copy of their ID and ticket. There are ways to match."
Suggested Links
He added, "If they come back and they haven't taken the course, there's actually a city code violation for trespassing, so the penalties do escalate."
Asked what happens if say a Patriots fan gets kicked out of Lucas Oil Stadium, Hall said the NFL "is considering a central database that would carry over to all stadiums."
Each NFL team gives a portion of the course fee to non-profit organization. The Colts are giving $25 of their $75 fee to the IMPD K9 Association.

Forest 3-2 Barnsley
Nottingham Forest secured a dramatic 3-2 win over Barnsley as league action returned to The City Ground this afternoon.
In a game which on the balance of play could have swung much further in favour of the hosts, Forest were twice pegged back after going ahead before substitute Darius Henderson headed home a deserved winner with six minutes to play.
Forest's lead, thanks to Simon Cox, was cancelled-out by Chris O'Grady's penalty, before Kelvin Etuhu's own goal sent The Reds in to half-time 2-1 up.
A sensational Tomasz Cywka free-kick restored parity after the break but in the end Forest's dominance was met with the reward it deserved.
Billy Davies made two changes to the side that started against Wigan a fortnight ago. Guy Moussi stepped into the defensive midfield role vacated by Adlene Guedioura, who has joined Crystal Palace, while Cox made his first league start since the opening day win over Huddersfield.
And Cox, who had been away on international duty during the week, so nearly fired The Reds in to a tenth-minute lead.
After Andy Reid had been blocked off on the edge of the area, Radoslaw Majewski had the presence of mind to flick a delightful ball around The Tykes' defence and perfectly into Cox's path. Racing in to the area, Cox's low, curled effort beat Mike Pollitt but not the post.
And it was the Irishman's turn to play provider five minutes later. His through ball for Jamie Mackie's perfectly-timed run sent Mackie clear of Barnsley's defence with only Pollitt to beat. Covering his near post with his considerable frame, the veteran stopper made an excellent save.
Cox and Mackie wouldn't relent their pressure on the 41 year old's goal, and on 18 minutes they had a breakthrough.
Mackie's shot from the edge of the area was too hot for Pollitt to handle and Cox was first on the scene to slide the rebound home from six yards.
On another day The Reds could have been 3-0 up - instead, they were pegged back two minutes later.
David Perkins was blocked off by Moussi in the area and referee Iain Williamson pointed straight to the spot. Chris O'Grady finished emphatically from the spot.
The hosts sought about quickly restoring their lead and nearly did so twice in quick succession three minutes after Barnsley's equaliser.
Reid, who opened the scoring at Wigan with a similar effort, saw his excellent free-kick crash off the bar. Cox was once again the first to react to the loose ball but he saw his effort smothered on the line.
Forest continued to control proceedings but were left to rue another good Pollitt save on 33 minutes.
Perkins could only divert Eric Lichaj's superb cross in to the path of Majewski in the area. The Pole generated excellent power in his strike only for Pollitt to save strongly.
It would have been something of an injustice had The Reds headed in to the break level and in the second of two added minutes they had the lead they deserved.
Mackie was felled by Ramage down the right and Reid's subsequent dangerous delivery was turned into his own net by Etuhu.
The big Frenchman was replaced by Martin Cranie at the break while Forest emerged unchanged.
Dale Jennings, a summer signing from Bayern Munich, gave Karl Darlow his first real open-play test of the afternoon shortly into the second half. The keeper had to shuffle across to meet Jennings' 20-yard effort but he held on comfortably.
Forest responded immediately with a Henri Lansbury shot which trickled wide of Pollitt's post from the edge of the area.
The visitors had started the second period with purpose, however, and almost had an equaliser in very unorthodox fashion 11 minutes in to the half.
Jim O'Brien raced on to a short Reds back pass and looked likely to fire past Darlow, but the keeper did well to block his effort, which looped towards goal and was headed away by Jack Hobbs.
Forest regained a firm grip on proceedings after that - Chris Cohen's cross-cum-shot licked the top of the bar before Lansbury shifted on to his right and curled into Pollitt's arms from 20 yards.
But they were hit with yet another sucker punch on 69 minutes.
After Moussi had tripped Stephen Dawson, for which the Frenchman was booked, Cywka, on for O'Brien, blasted into the top corner from 35 yards, leaving Darlow stranded and restoring parity.
Majewski made way for Jamie Paterson shortly afterwards as The Reds again set out to restore their lead.
And within minutes the former Walsall man had skimmed the post with an excellent effort from range - the third time Forest had hit the woodwork in the match.
Barnsley went down the other end and saw O'Grady's shot on the turn curl wide, before Forest came agonisingly close to retaking the lead in bizarre fashion.
Cox's long-range effort took Pollitt completely by surprise - the ball squirmed out of the keeper's control and inches wide of the post. From the resulting corner, Cohen turned neatly in the area and sent a right-footed effort towards the top corner only for it to be headed away by Perkins.
Henderson and Djamal Abdoun were then introduced in place of Cox and Moussi respectively, and with seven minutes to go Abdoun had Pollitt scrambling to his back post to tip his cross out for a corner.
And it was fellow substitute Henderson's header from Reid's subsequent delivery which sparked scenes of jubilation around The City Ground - the big front man powering his effort beyond Pollitt from six yards to put The Reds 3-2 up and secure a deserved victory.

DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman-Schultz Says Politics Had Nothing to do With Obama's Delay of Keystone XL Pipeline Until After 2014 Midterm Elections
DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman-Schultz (D-FL) was on 'Meet the Press' on Sunday spinning like a top. DWS told David Gregory that she does not believe that Barack Obama's decision to delay the XL Keystone pipeline had nothing to do with politics. HAH! Seriously Debbie, the fact that it is referenced that a decision will be made at the earliest after the 2014 has nothing to do with politics? Sorry, but much like everything with Obama, it has everything to do with politics. This is just another example of Barack Obama kicking the political can of issues down the road and playing partisan politics and putting Democrats ahead of Americans. We know that the Keystone XL pipline construction will create primary jobs and secondary one's from that. But that does not matter to the Food Stamp president.
DWS discusses Keystone XL Pipeline around the 4:00 mark
DWS went on to say, "It [Keyston XL pipeline] affects multiple states. What's also true is that incumbent senators like [Louisiana Democrat] Mary Landrieu understand the issues that are important on the ground in their states to their constituents." Yes, they do and they do not appear to be happy.
This woman has the nerve to talk about Tea party extremists when Democrats and Barack Obama are pandering to the far-left wing environmental wackos in delaying the XL Keystone as even Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-LA) stated, "Today's decision by the administration amounts to nothing short of an indefinite delay of the Keystone pipeline. The decision's irresponsible, unnecessary, and unacceptable. By making it clear that they will not move the process forward until there's a resolution in a lawsuit in Nebraska, the administration is sending a signal that the small minority who oppose the pipeline can tie up the process in court forever."
DAVID GREGORY: Are you worried, as the party chair, that this shouldn't be resolved before the election because of the potential impact it could have on vulnerable Democrats?
REP. DEBBIE WASSERMAN SCHULTZ: As a member of Congress who represents hundreds of thousands of people in south Florida, I want to make sure that the right decision is arrived at. And that the president makes that decision carefully and he doesn't factor politics into his decision, which I don't think he is.
DAVID GREGORY: Is the issue in the fall a referendum on President Obama?
REP. DEBBIE WASSERMAN SCHULTZ: No, absolutely not. The–
DAVID GREGORY: It's not?
I suppose the IRS targeting the Tea Party, blaming Benghazi on a video tape and delaying employee mandates for Obamacare were not political either.
Obama Administration Delays Once Again Final Decision on Keystone XL Pipeline … Play Politics Over Jobs for Americans
Barack Obama has made promises to Americans that jobs is his number one priority, but has done everything but …
The Obama administrations has once again kicked the can of American jobs down the road in place of playing politics. Team Obama has once again delayed the decision on the XL Keystone pipeline on Good Friday and Easter weekend. The decision now will most likely not be made until after the November midterm elections. How convenient. This is just another attempt to humor the far left and the environmental wackos to get their campaign dollars and votes. The Weekly Standard makes a valid and important point, "if the administration wanted the pipeline built, construction would have long since been underway … Witness the numerous executive fiats regarding the implementation of Obamacare."
The Obama administration further delayed its decision on the controversial Keystone XL pipeline project on Friday, with no conclusion now likely until after the U.S. mid-term elections in November.
President Barack Obama has said he will have the final say on whether to allow the pipeline connecting Canada's oil sands region to Texas refiners, and several government agencies had been given until May to weigh in. This had raised expectations of a final decision by mid-year.
But the State Department said on Friday it was extending that agency comment period, citing a need to wait until the Nebraska Supreme Court settles a dispute over what path the $5.4 billion TransCanada Corp project should take.
"That pipeline route is central to the environmental analysis for the project and if there are changes to the route it could have implications," a senior State Department official told reporters.
UPDATE I: Keystone non-decision keeps some Democrats on the hot seat.
Politically, it seems like a great idea, since kicking Keystone down the road — probably long past November — is better than an outright rejection for vulnerable oil-state Democrats, whose voters love the proposed project. And it keeps environmentalists at bay, boosting hopes that President Barack Obama might still swing their way.
But the non-decision decision also makes life a little harder for several groups of Democratic senators and Senate candidates fighting for their lives.
Some, like Colorado Sen. Mark Udall, have yet to take a firm stance on the Alberta-to-Texas oil pipeline — and the State Department's announcement Friday that it's extending its review of the project removes the possibility that Obama could resolve the issue one way or another next month.
Meanwhile, pro-Keystone Democrats like Senate energy Chairwoman Mary Landrieu will face heightened pressure to take actions to match their rhetoric.
UPDATE II: Vulnerable Senate Democrat Mary Landrieu, D-LA Speaks Out Against Keystone XL Pipeline delay.
Responded Landrieu, the newly installed chair of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee: "Today's decision by the Administration amounts to nothing short of an indefinite delay of the Keystone Pipeline. This decision is irresponsible, unnecessary and unacceptable. By making it clear that they will not move the process forward until there is a resolution in a lawsuit in Nebraska, the administration is sending a signal that the small minority who oppose the pipeline can tie up the process in court forever. There are 42,000 jobs, $20 billion in economic activity and North America's energy security at stake." Landrieu said she plans to use her chairmanship of the Senate Energy Committee to try and move the project forward.

Barack Obama's Chickens are Coming Home to Roost
Obama's Chickens coming home to roost means American's goose is cooked …
I would add it is more than a mere coincidence that everything that Obama has done in his six years in office has made the United States of America a weaker nation. whether it be domestic or foreign policy, Obama has done what many believe is irreparable damage to the US. One would almost say, it would be impossible to get so many things wrong. One might even say it was intentional.
It is impossible to dismiss as mere coincidence the Russian Bear's invasion of Ukraine and the continuing mayhem of the Affordable Care Act. In their own ways, each reflects the full flowering of the policies of Barack Obama.
His chickens are coming home to roost, and what a mess they are making.
Obama's sixth year in the White House is shaping up as his worst, and that's saying something. He's been in the Oval Office so long that it is obscene to blame his problems on George W. Bush, the weather or racism. Obama owns the world he made, or more accurately, the world he tried to remake.
Nothing important has worked as promised, and there is every reason to believe the worst is yet to come. The president's casual remark the other day that he worries about "a nuclear weapon going off in Manhattan" inadvertently reflected the fear millions of Americans have about his leadership. Not necessarily about a bomb, but about where he is taking the country.
It's Official, Democrats are in Panic Mode Ahead of 2014 Midterm Elections … Some Veteran House Dems To Retire
The New York Times has officially declared that the Democrats should be worried ahead of the 2014 midterm elections. Why so concerned, Barack Obama's sinking job approval ratings, the GOP's special election House win in Florida 13 and the continued dissatisfaction with Obamacare to name a few. Democrats have been in denial for quite some time when it comes to their chances of success in 2014. However, Barack Obama has become toxic and so have his policies and agenda.
Of course Barack Obama sent
Baghdad Bob White House adviser Dan Pfeiffer to go out on 'Meet the Press' this past Sunday and spin the obvious. Pfeiffer said,"the president will be an asset in every way possible to help these candidates" and that Democrats are on the right side of the issue that matters most to Americans, jobs and the economy. Okay, try not to laugh. Really, Americans agree with Obama/Democrats on the economy, polls would say a much different story.
Democrats are becoming increasingly alarmed about their midterm election fortunes amid President Obama's sinking approval ratings, a loss in a special House election in Florida last week, and millions of dollars spent by Republican-aligned groups attacking the new health law.
The combination has led to uncharacteristic criticism of Mr. Obama and bitter complaints that his vaunted political organization has done little to help the party's vulnerable congressional candidates.
The latest in a cascade of bad news came Friday when Scott Brown, a former senator from Massachusetts, announced an exploratory committee to challenge the incumbent Democrat in New Hampshire, Senator Jeanne Shaheen, and when the Republican-aligned "super PAC" American Crossroads said it would spend $600,000 to help his effort.
Earlier, another top-tier Republican recruit, Representative Cory Gardner, decided to challenge Senator Mark Udall of Colorado; the two races create unanticipated opportunities improving Republicans' chances to take control of the Senate. No prominent Democrats predict their party will win back the House.
Over the weekend on CNN on 'Inside Politics', John King said that because of the results in the Florida 13 special election, look for a few more veteran House Democrats to retire seeing the handwriting on the wall and no chance for Democrats to win back the House.
Watch in the week or so ahead for a few more retirements by veteran House Democrats.
I'm told the Florida special election results were the last straw for at least two and perhaps more House Democrats facing tough 2014 races.
WAPO-ABC News Poll: Keystone XL Pipeline Project Overwhelmingly Favored by Americans But Barack Obama Against Jobs
Once again Barack Obama finds himself on the wrong wide of the American people and refusing to approve a project that will create jobs for "We the People".
According to a recent WAPO-ABC News poll, an overwhelming majority of Americans are in favor of supporting the contraction of the Keystone XL oil pipeline between Canada and the United States. 65% of Americans approve of the job creating pipeline project, while only 22% are opposed. An amazing 85% say that the Keystone XL oil pipeline project will create jobs; however, Obama continues to stonewall the project so to pander to his environmental wacko constituents. Republicans, Independents and Democrats are in favor of building the pipeline that will provide a significant economic benefit to the US, 82%, 65% and 51%, respectively. It is only moonbat, liberal Democrats that oppose the it.
Americans support the idea of constructing the Keystone XL oil pipeline between Canada and the United States by a nearly 3 to 1 margin, with 65 percent saying it should be approved and 22 percent opposed, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll.
The findings also show that the public thinks the massive project, which aims to ship 830,000 barrels of oil a day from Alberta and the northern Great Plains to refineries on the Gulf Coast, will produce significant economic benefits. Eighty-five percent say the pipeline would create a significant number of jobs, with 62 percent saying they "strongly" believed that to be the case.
That so many Americans back the pipeline, even with environmental risks, highlights the quandary facing President Obama and his top aides as they weigh whether to approve the proposal.
Support for Keystone is highest among Republicans, with 82 percent backing it. But majorities of independents and Democrats also want it approved, at 65 and 51 percent, respectively. Only self-identified liberal Democrats lean against, 47 percent to 36 percent.
But even though Obama continually says his primary focus to to create jobs for Americans, he does just the opposite. Obama wastes tax payers money on his failed backing of green energy policy like Solyndra, Fisker Automotive, ABC123, and Solar Trust just to mention a few. All he has to do is simply saying "yes",instead he refuses to allow a job creating project to go forward. Obama's war on oil is more important than jobs for the American people. Instead Obama would rather see Americans on food stamps and welfare, than working jobs for evil oil.
A recent State Department assessment said the project would create 1,950 jobs for a two-year period, after which it would generate 50 permanent jobs. But most people see it as a larger economic boon, the poll shows.

Elvira got out from the car and then faltered. Her knees practically gave way beneath her and she struggled to hold in a gasp of pain.
"Sister? Where are you? Come home. . ."
The voices! She shuddered, shaking them from her mind. Elvira tried not to think about them, She had been hearing voices ever since she had been adopted. She clossed her eyes, remembering the first time she had discovered that no one else could here them; it had been in the children's home, she had heard them and asked the care-worker what they were saying, when the care-worker had looked at her oddly, and said that no-body was speaking. That had been nine months ago, and since then Elvira had kept quiet about them. It was probably better to have everyone beleive that you were at least sane, if not a little strange.
She fell in-step behind her adoptive parents. They annoyed her. They paid her little, if no attention and were arrogant and patronizing. When they had first expressed interest in her, it had been at he children's home, They were unable to have children and she had just wanted to get out of the crumbling, old home. It had never really been a perfect relationship but was okay.
Her 'mother' knocked on the door of David's house and the usual, tedious greetings of air kisses and 'how-have-you-been's' were fulfilled. David stood behind them all, alongside a stocky, tall boy of about the same age. Elvira passed through the gaggle of coo-ing parents and walked straight up to him and his friend.
"Hi" she said.
"Hello" David din't smile, he looked nervous, a little sick, even.
The tall, stocky boy moved in front of David, Elvira didn't like the way he was looking at her. His eyes seemed greedy, hungry even.

Trial Ending (depending on the comments I get)Mature
Gabriel was dreaming, he had to be this couldn't be real. He was in paradise with all of his brothers around him laughing and joking. There was a hand of cards face down on the table in front of him. He looked at Sylver and realized how much his twin had changed since they all came to the Midway. Maxwell looked happy and was laughing carefree and young. Gabriel shook his head and looked at Daryll and Tairas they were on another table playing chess, Daryll chatting non-stop as Tairas tried to play. He smiled and picked the cards up looking at them. They were all aces he frowned.
"Something wrong, my lord?" a guard nearby said, Gabriel shook his head.
"No" he mumbled, "everything's fine."
The room suddenly plunged into darkness and Gabriel dropped the handful of cards. He stood up, his brothers were gone he was alone. He couldn't see a thing, stumbling blindly he tried to find a wall, a wall meant a door somewhere.
"Hello" a voice said behind him, Gabriel spun around in the dark.
"Whose there?" he shouted into the darkness,
"Gabriel" the voice said, Gabriel lashed out hoping to hit something. "Gabriel" the voice said again.
Dawn stood over Gabriel, his hands wrapped around Gabriel's wrists. The vampyre had almost caught the daemons face with his claws.
"Gabriel" Dawn said firmly, a frown creased the vampyres face.
"Sire," Deacon said "what are his nightmares about?" Dawn looked at him in disbelief.
"I'm just thinking it's not normal to have dreams when you're unconscious" Deacon added.
"Not normal is what I do" a groggy voice came form the bed. "Do you want to let me go, Dawn" Gabriel said, his icy eyes settling on Dawn's.
"Not really" Dawn said but he let go anyway and sat down next to the medical bed. Gabriel made a noise of displeasure as he looked around.
"I'm back in this shithole" he grumbled, he moved trying to sit up.
"Not a good idea sweetie" Dawn said.
"Dawn, stop calling me that" Gabriel growled, he sat himself up. The skin on his back felt tight and sore. "How long, have I been down here?"
"A week" Deacon said, despite Dawn shaking his head at him. Gabriel glared at Dawn,
"Why don't you want me to know that?" he asked
"I didn't think you'd like the idea." Dawn replied.
"I don't, but I'm more curious to know why I'm naked" Gabriel said pulling the blanket around himself. Dawn just smiled.
Gabriel glared at him and dawn passed him a shirt and a pair of jeans. Gabriel took them but didn't move.
"A little privacy, dawn?" he asked after a moment. Dawn grinned and stood up, deacon began to hobble towards the door. Dawn just stood there, Gabriel glared up at him.
"I like your new wings" Dawn smiled, he ran a hand over the soft, still slightly tender skin of Gabriel's new wings the light bounced of them like petrol on water.
"Thanks" Gabriel said, Dawn lay a hand on each side of Gabriel's face.
"You're welcome" Dawn lifted Gabriel's face to look at him, "I'm glad you're okay." Dawn kissed Gabriel's forehead gently then turned and left leaving a shocked Gabriel alone in the clinical little room

I have a 2007 SE Sedan DuraTech with ~90k miles. I got it with 4k miles on it so I am essentially the original owner. Well maintained and only repair unexpected by me was the engine mounts about 3k miles ago. It was a daily driver for me and now my daughter.
The DuraTech is a solid, long lasting engine. There are many reports of them lasting 200k miles. That said you are talking about a car with 142k miles on it and you have no idea how it was maintained. There are many parts other than an engine that can change a car from a good deal to a nightmare. What I would do is take it to a good mechanic to have a thorough inspection including a compression check, suspension inspection and a brake inspection. Even then I would count on spending $500 for routine and neglected maintenance, not including tires. I would count on spending $500 on any car with 142k miles on it, not just a DuraTech Focus.
Good luck

Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever (CCHF)
Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever (CCHF) is a viral haemorrhagic fever of the Nairovirus group. Although primarily a zoonosis, sporadic cases and outbreaks of CCHF affecting humans do occur. The disease is endemic in many countries in Africa, Europe and Asia.
The geographical distribution of the virus, like that of its tick vector, is widespread. Evidence of CCHF virus has been found in Africa, Asia, the Middle East and Eastern Europe. Healthcare workers in endemic areas should be aware of the illness and the correct infection control procedures to protect themselves and their patients from the risk of nosocomial (hospital-acquired) infection.
For more information please check the websites of WHO Regional Office for Europe and ECDC – European Center for Disease Prevention and Control.

"My lord, you will have to confront her sometime soon." My manservant advised, hurrying to keep up with me. "Her attitude towards you grows more amorous each time she sees you. You must tell her that you do not share those feelings."
I scowled. "Shut up. I know what I'm doing." The manservant closed his mouth into a tight line and walked away. I turned and headed outside, to the gardens. Massive trees, hedge mazes, fountains fountains fountains. It was beautiful. I loved France. It was beautifully blue and green in the summer, the language flowed from tongue to tongue, I was taking pains to learn it, though my people's translators made that unnecessary.
I had lied to Salina. I had no important business to take care of, they sent me to this backwater planet so that I would stay out of trouble while the king sorted out the dissent on our home's neighboring planet. If it turned to war I'd be called back home, but until then, it was just keeping me here, where I had no responsibilities. I was grateful, I guess.
Wandering around, lost in thought, something caught my eye near one of the flowerbeds. It was the new girl, in her new uniform, a full length dress with apron and coat. It wasnt particularly conventional, everyone wore lighter fabrics on my home planet but it was better in this climate to dress warmer, and it fit the environment of the palace. She was kneeling on the path, getting her skirt dirty, as she picked flowers clumsily, pulling them up near the bottoms of their stems and laying them on the gravel beside her. Bright yellow tulips, orange marigolds, blue and white violets.
"Oh, no." I said, interrupting her work. She looked up at me.
"What?" The single syllable was violent, rude. I ignored the tone and knelt beside her.
"Salina hates violets. She claimes they make her nose itch, I think she just doesnt like purple blue or white, so avoid lavender as well." She stared at me. I ignored her and plowed on. "The marigolds should never mix with tulips, so many petals on one flower, so few on another. Tulips go well with daffodils and lilies. The tiger lilies with the orange petals will do nicely, as will the yellow daffodils. Take the marigolds and put them in a bouquet with roses, of any color, particularly pink and yellows."
She gathered her flowers, leaving the violets on the ground. She looked down at me for the first time. I did not stand.
"Thanks." She said, apparently with some difficulty, then strode off toward another flower bed covered in the flowers I'd described. I stood, taking the violets with me, heading back inside.
"Oh, Salina doesnt like roses. Those are for me." I said as I walked past her, smiling. Perhaps I would take a transport to the Eiffel Tower later and survey my kingdom from the heights of its top.

I think, no! > > Hmm, currently I'm thinking of voting -1 for defining the components > in the xconf. This would create a deadlock. Very interesting > and funny thing... Not ;-) As always, needs never collide, only implementations do. (should I change signature on this? ;-) So by implementing the configuration in only sitemap.xmap or cocoon.xconf we break some needs. What was the need to put components in cocoon.xconf? IIRC, it was to reduce clutter in sitemap.xmap, originally. When the new layout of the samples is committed, there won't be much there in every sitemap. So this issue could be resolved, and components be declared in sitemaps. But think of upgrade. If I upgrade some components, I need to change every definition in every sitemap where it's declared. Not good. But this will be resolved AFAIK with the next-to-be-defined Blocks. So I'm +1 for taking the components away from xconf, and placing them only in the sitemap for the time being. This SOC issue will be resolved with Blocks. If someone really wants to separate this in two files, he can always include the components as external entities (XML), but I wouldn't recommend it (and Stefano would skin me ;-).

Unprovoked firing from Pakistan at the border area, guarded by BSFs, triggered the whole sequence of events. The aggressive offensive by the Indian troops have caused far more casualties on Pakistan side in just 10 days of firing this year than was witnessed in 30 days of skirmishes last year in August, said a TOI report.
Around eight people, including soldiers, LeT terrorists and civilians, have been killed in Pakistan and over two dozen injured in the firings that began on August 16 this year, said the report.
While on the Indian side, there have been only two casualties.
Pakistan forces have killed nearly 12 Indian soldiers since 2013. This year there has been only one casualty - of a BSF jawan - due to sniper firing a month ago.

6 Pieces of Advice to Avoid Weight Gain as You Age
Despite what we may think, our age is not the only reason why we gain weight. There are many reasons, but a change of lifestyle is the main factor we should blame. Bright Side brings you some valuable pieces of advice on how to reach this special stage of your life feeling healthy and active.
1. Strawberries, apples, and onions
Scientists have discovered that increased consumption of flavonoid-rich foods is associated with weight maintenance and has a positive effect on the weight-loss process.
Products that might help you lose weight are:
- Cranberries
- Strawberries
- Cherries
- Grapes
- Wild berries
- Tea
- Apples
- Onions
- Leeks
- Broccoli
Including these foods in your diet plan will have a positive impact on your overall health.
2. Stay physically active
Don't forget that our metabolism slows down as we get older, and, as a consequence, we accumulate fat and gain those pounds. To avoid gaining too much weight, stay active. The best way to do this is with low-risk physical exercises on a regular basis.
In addition, exercising will help your muscles and joints stay strong and young and even delay the aging process a little.
Pay attention! Recent studies have shown that a 10-minute workout session performed 3 times a day is just as effective as 30 minutes of non-stop physical activity. So even taking the stairs instead of the elevator, parking your car a little further from the office, or a 10-minute walk will also have beneficial effects.
3. Stay mentally active
Memory problems are considered to be a normal part of the aging process. But it's not like you can't do anything about it. Pleasant activities such as reading, doing crosswords and sudoku puzzles, or playing chess (even some online games) will stimulate different parts of the brain, boosting memory and concentration.
Such great habits awaken and train your brain, help prevent stress and depression, and maintain the quality of your life.
4. Say "No" to diets
Low-calorie diets can actually decrease the rate of your metabolism for good. When not getting enough calories, your body tries to conserve all its energy and, as a result, it saves calories. If you turn to those crash diets repeatedly, your metabolic rate will never go back to normal.
Also note that a 1,200-calorie diet (and less) will help you lose weight, but the weight you lose is muscle tissue, not fat. And since muscles burn more calories than fat, losing muscle tissue will only make it difficult for you to maintain your weight.
5. Monitor your health regularly
Aging can also bring health problems such as hypertension and osteoporosis, making it more difficult to stay physically active.
Regular medical check-ups help you stay healthy and enjoy every day of your life. Before you even notice, you'll generate your very own positive cycle of things: good health gives you the possibility and will to exercise, and the latter makes you feel healthier and happier.
6. Start as soon as possible
Do you think you can put on some pounds now and lose them some time later? Forget it! Just like brushing your teeth twice a day, you should introduce healthy habits to your life as soon as possible. This way you won't have to worry about extra pounds in the future.

Harry Redknapp yesterday hit back at press criticism of Roy Hodgson's England for their efforts at Euro 2012. However, the former Tottenham Hotspur manager accepted the national team must raise their game if they are to make progress.
England were eliminated at the quarter-final stage of another major tournament when they lost 4-2 on penalties to Italy, after a 0-0 draw, on Sunday night. However, just to have made the latter stages of the competition was an achievement in itself, given Hodgson only took on the job five weeks before the start of the tournament.
Redknapp, who at one stage had looked set for the England job, said: "It is unbelievable. We keep underestimating our players. I don't care what anybody says, we have got good players.
"Our back four and goalkeeper will be as good as any back four and goalkeeper in the tournament, man for man. You know, Glen Johnson, Ashley Cole, Joe Hart in goal, John Terry. Joleon Lescott had an excellent tournament. You've got Steven Gerrard, you had Scott Parker, you've got Wayne Rooney coming back.
"No one's blaming Roy or anyone else, that's for sure. He's just took over, he's going to have to get his own style of play, but we've got to start playing some football haven't we?"
Redknapp conceded England need to improve aspects of their game, having faded badly in the second half against the Italians, when they were chasing possession for large spells.
"We can't keep giving the ball away in international football and expect to win games," said Redknapp. "Our possession was less than any team in the tournament I think, apart from the Irish. That can't be right. It's not as if we can't pass the ball."
Hodgson also received backing from his Germany counterpart, Joachim Löw. For the fourth major tournament running, the Germans have reached the semi-final stage and, by contrast, England have not reached the last four of any tournament since Euro '96 when they lost to Germany on penalties at Wembley.
Löw does not have a magic wand, but after being directly responsible for England's elimination from the last World Cup, when Germany won a second-round match 4-1 in Bloemfontein, he has detected a significant improvement under Hodgson, which he is certain will continue.
"The English were much better in this tournament than in 2010," he said. "When they played us then they were a team who had a lot of problems. Roy Hodgson has brought order into the side and has done a great job.
"[At Euro 2012] they were a very well-organised team. England will develop under him in the next few years and, in the next tournament, they'll play a better role than they did here and certainly than they did in 2010."
Löw's comments are a slap in the face for Hodgson's predecessor, Capello, who has been making waves of his own this week, hinting that Wayne Rooney only performs well for Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson. That comment has irritated Hodgson, who accused Capello of a "cheap" trick.
"Capello is entitled to his opinions, I suppose, but I always think it's a bit cheap to kid on a player who was so anxious to do well," Hodgson said.
Questions have been asked about Rooney's conduct prior to the tournament, particularly a very public holiday in Las Vegas with former Red Devils team-mate Wes Brown. Hodgson has already dismissed this and defended his decision to give Rooney an extra week off in the build-up, which meant he missed the friendly win in Norway.
That move could now be interpreted as a mistake given the forward looked so short of match fitness when he eventually returned against Ukraine.
Hodgson is having none of it though, and has revealed he stopped Rooney pushing himself too hard at England's Krakow training base when the United man wanted to do additional work.
"His attitude was magnificent," said Hodgson. "He was putting in extra work because he was concerned he was behind the others having missed the first two games through suspension. His desire to do well was enormous and we were trying to put the brakes on.
"In the final game he, along with one or two other players, didn't play to the level he can but that's what football is about.
"If every player was a robot and played at the same level in every game then football would be very simple and we wouldn't need coaches."

Michael and Melissa Klassen live for time away in the beautiful Okanagan. In their spare time they love to retreat from their home in Calgary, AB to vacation in beautiful Vernon, British Columbia with their son Jade and daughter Jasmine. Mike spends long hours working hard as a residential concrete foundations business owner, while Melissa's career and passion lies in teaching Acrobatics and Dancing. 'We love this stunning property, and hope that you will have the opportunity to experience a wonderful and relaxing vacation as well at our Vernon Vacation Home.'
Bonnie purchased this house in 2008
We decided to buy a vacation home in Vernon, British Columbia because of the magnificent lakes and beaches, first class golfing, spectacular hiking and cliff jumping and of course top notch skiing conditions at Silver Star and Big White Ski hills. Where else can you experience 30 degree beach weather in the summer and +10 spring skiing with amazing conditions? And all within a 25 minute drive!
The benefits you'll enjoy at this property are stunningly beautiful views, quiet, peaceful and high end accommodations, sleep in luxury on our ironed bed linens and outdoor activities for every season just minutes away. We love Vernon because it has the best lakes, beaches, golfing and skiing in the Okanagan Valley ... AND ... not a lot of people know about it. It's one of the best kept secrets in the Okanagan. You're going to love it!
Thank you for sharing your home with us during our stressful transition. Beautiful home and property - don't ever sell it! Trust us - we know!!
Beautiful house with everything you need. There was plenty of space for our party of 8, lots of beds and sofas to go around. The hot tub is outside with a wall providing nice privacy, while providing a great view of the sky. The place is setup with Wifi and Netflix, so there's lots of entertainment.
We enjoyed the deck and he view. Some parts of the house were fine, such as the master bedroom. However, some parts are suffering from neglect, notably the kitchen cupboards and the windows.
The description of the VRBO led us to believe there were two separate living levels. Please make clear that the lower level has no bathroom and that the lower bedroom is in the furnace room.
the upper second bedroom is small the lighting poor with no bedside tables.
Some suggestions: include a radio in the kitchen. At least, refinish the kitchen copboards. Replace the broke sealed windows. Improve the overall lighting. Add a downstairs bathroom.
Bonnie was terrific. She even decorated it for Easter. She answered all questions quickly and thoroughly. These criticisms are directed to the owners.
The house may been quite fine for young people, but much less convenient for older adults.
Our group of adult rowers traveled to Vernon from the Lower Mainland to take part in a rowing regatta on Swan Lake. Instead of everybody staying at one of the local hotels we decided to look for a vacation home. Bonnie, the Property Manager, was professional and friendly from the start of our search until the moment we checked out. Not only was the shared cost a great benefit the house allowed us all to really relax and enjoy each others' company. The home was clean, cozy and well appointed. During our stay the weather was so so and we didn't really have a chance to enjoy the beautifully landscaped garden. The one time we did sit outside on the deck was enjoyable. I would recommend this property.
This is a really lovely property. We enjoyed the house very much and it was adequate for our needs.
It was very clean with a nice interior. The kitchen has everything that you need.
I would recommend this to anyone. This property is a 10 min drive from downtown Vernon.
The house and property is very well maintained,clean,and comfortable. We stayed here for a week with 4 adults and 2 babies. The yard has 2 levels and a playhouse. The playhouse would be excellent for the 5 to 12 year olds. The grass yards are fabulous for family games. Beautifully landscaped yard overlooked by a large deck. The deck is well furnished with very good patio furniture, which can easily accommodate 10 people or more.
Our family home was flooded while we were away and we required a place to stay for a month. This home was everything we needed with all amenities of home. The management made it work out on very short notice. The back yard, hot tub and deck are all fantastic. Thanks for the great house that we could call home for a bit.
Private hot tub included. Silver Star Ski Hill and Sovereign Lake Nordic ski area 25 minutes away. Kalamalka Lake has miles of hiking/biking trails, cliff jumping, rock climbing and, of course, the beaches. Okanagan Lake also has beaches, sailing, boating and Ellison Provincial Park. Be sure to visit our local orchards in the summer - particularly Davison Orchards, overlooking Okanagan Lake; a great activity for families. Monday and Thursday mornings, the Farmer's Market in town has abundant fruits and vegetables fresh off the farms. Check out local artisan's work there as well. Predator Ridge is 14.8 miles from the house and is a 24 minute drive.

St. Elizabeth's Medical Center, Boston, MA
PURPOSE: Preclinical studies have indicated that BLVR, achieved by administration of a fibrin based Hydrogel into subsegmental bronchi through a flexible bronchoscope, is safe and reduces lung volume by converting hyperinflated emphysematous lung into scar tissue. This abstract summarizes the safety record of BLVR in 15 patients with advanced emphysema and also provides 3 to 6 months efficacy data on 11 patients from the same population.
METHODS: BLVR treatment was administered as part of 3 Phase 1 clinical trials at 4 medical centers. Group A patients (#7) received subtherapeutic treatment targeting 2 subsegments (estimated to represent 4-6% of total lung volume [TLV]). Six of these 7 patients had a second treatment at 2 additional subsegments at a later date. Group B patients (#8) were given potentially therapeutic doses at 4 subsegments (estimated to represent 8-12% of TLV).
RESULTS: There were 21 treatment sessions in 15 patients without intra or postoperative adverse events other than those commonly associated with advanced emphysema and/or fiberoptic bronchoscopy. All patients were discharged from the hospital the day after the procedure. Two of 4 Group B patients in whom 3-6 month data are available, experienced benefits similar to those obtained with successful unilateral lung volume reduction surgery. Changes in spirometry, lung volumes, 6MWD and SGRQ are shown in Table 1.
CONCLUSION: BLVR proved safe during 21 treatment sessions in 15 patients. Treatment of 4 subsegments suggest efficacy in terms of pulmonary function, exercise tolerance and HRQOL. Future clinical trials will target up to 12 subsegments (20-30% of TLV) in an attempt to achieve a therapeutic impact comparable to bilateral lung volume reduction surgery.
CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: If further clinical trials confirm the results of the preclinical studies and establish the safety and efficacy of BLVR in humans, the procedure would represent a major advance in the treatment of advanced emphysema. BLVR could reduplicate the results of LVRS with greatly reduced mortality and morbidity.

- Adaptation Sequence:
- Children's novel > Movie (1976) > Movie (1995) > Movie (2003).
- Also: Children's novel > Sequel > TV show
1976 Version
- Unintentional Period Piece: Dear god, is this movie from the '70s. Most obvious these days is the casual smoking, even around kids.
1995 Version
- Keep Circulating the Tapes: This is the only direct Freaky Friday adaptation not available on DVD. Presumably, Disney doesn't consider Made For TV Movies high priorities, unless they feature whatever Disney Channel star lots of people like at the moment.

Secret Service Whoring Around Dates Back (at least) to Richard Nixon in San Clemente
Google "Barack Obama Nixonian" or just click this link. You'll see several e-pundits love making the Chosen One out to be Orange County favorite disgraced son Richard M. Nixon. Actually, former Nixon Library director John Taylor made that case--in a positive way--days before Obama was inaugurated.
Thanks to the whoring scandal, each Commander-in-Chief's Secret Service detail can be compared to one another as well.
Dust off your old copy of The Boys on the Bus, Timothy Crouse's 1973 account of the previous year's presidential campaign that won Nixon reelection. Turn to page 209, and discover how a reporter knew when Dick was scooting off to the so-called "Western White House" in San Clemente.
It seems the ink-stained wretch "cultivated a clerk at a San Clemente motel who called him whenever the whores came from Vegas in anticipation of the arrival of the Secret Service."
Where are those ladies' medals? After all, they served our country by servicing the Service.

Book Two in the Rising Tide Leadership™ Series
Change will come, there's no escaping it.
Remaining stuck in status quo mode, fearing and avoiding change like the plague, only ensures you won't be ready for the inevitable. Mastering positive change, however, is key to extraordinary leadership and optimal business outcomes. So what can you do to harness the power of change as both an individual and a leader of a high-performing team?
Mastering positive change involves navigating emotional shallow water and relational collisions: resistance from within and without, blame, victimhood, false barriers, and other change-busters.
The Reality of Change takes a unique approach to change the way you lead: to anticipate and overcome the inner and outer obstacles so you can steer yourself and your organization through the positive change process.
You'll discover how to:
• Gain confidence in leading change by knowing what's to come
• Embrace and engage change as a pivotal leadership quality
• Counter resistance and naysaying
• Avoid blaming others and taking things personally
• Master change in the context of other key leadership traits
• Successfully guide your organization into new and promising waters
The Reality of Change delves into the emotional and interpersonal challenges of change, both on the part of the leader and those he or she leads. It's incredible how deeply you will dive into core leadership issues in this short book.
Key takeaway: If you're not a master of change, it's a master of you. It's much better to prepare for the journey before you put your oars in the water.
Excellence begins with you. Let's get started!

EU warns Romania on rule of law
The EU commission on Friday (6 July) warned the Romanian government not to undermine rule of law amid political infighting in Bucharest.
"The commission is concerned about current developments in Romania, especially regarding actions that appear to reduce the effective powers of independent institutions like the Constitutional Court," EU commission spokesman Olivier Bailly told press in Brussels on Friday (6 July).

He said the situation puts "at risk all the progress made over the past five years in having more respect for the rule of law and democratic checks and balances and independence of the judiciary in this country."
He added that commission chief Jose Manuel Barroso has personally called Romanian Prime Minister Victor Ponta to "express his concerns" and that Ponta will visit the EU capital next week to explain what is going on.
In the past few weeks, the Ponta government has moved swiftly on several fronts in a bid to impeach the country's president, Traian Basescu.
It has ignored Constitutional Court rulings, threatened its judges, changed the ombudsman changed and changed referendum rules to make it easier to remove a president from office.
In a sideshow to the main events, Ponta also dismissed an official committee which authorises university diplomas after it accused him of "copy-paste style" plagiarism on his PhD thesis.
The Romanian parliament will vote later on Friday whether to trigger an impeachment procedure for Basescu's alleged abuse of power back when his party was in government.
Ponta might get his way because his Social-Liberal government has a small majority in the assembly.
Back in Brussels, the commission's Bailly said no one move in particular rang the alarm bell, but rather the "sequencing" and "quick way in which [measures] were adopted."
He noted that the mess will be reflected in a regular commission report on Romanian corruption due in late July.
Voting rights
EU Council chief Herman Van Rompuy and the German government have also expressed their "serious concern" about the political crisis.
Van Rompuy tweeted on Friday he will contact both Ponta and Basescu "to discuss this issue."
German Chancellor Angela Merkel's spokesman on Friday said the independence of the judiciary should not be questioned.
Meanwhile, leading MEPs from the centre-right EPP group - Germany's Markus Ferber and Elmar Brok and France's Alain Lamassoure - have floated the possibility of suspending Romania's voting rights in the EU Council.
Under article 7 of the EU treaty, the rights of a state can be suspended due to "a serious and persistent breach by a member state of the values of the EU, such as respect for freedom, democracy and respect for human rights."
This was used only once, in 2000, against Austria, when a far-right party came to power in Vienna.
