U.S. drone attack targets Pakistani Taliban leader's home, likely killing him
PESHAWAR, Pakistan — An American drone fired missiles on Friday at the residence of Pakistani Taliban leader Hakimullah Mehsud, a high-level terrorist with a $5 million FBI bounty on his head who is thought to be responsible for the deaths of thousands of people.
It was not immediately clear whether Mehsud was killed in the airstrike in the North Waziristan region. The drone reportedly fired two missiles at the compound and a vehicle used by Mehsud, who has been high on the target list for intelligence forces.
One Pakistani intelligence official, who asked not to be identified because he wasn't authorized to speak with the media, said there were credible reports that Mehsud was in the compound at the time of the strike. There was no immediate official response or confirmation from the Taliban.
Local news reports said four people were killed, including two of Mehsud's bodyguards, and two were wounded in the attack in the Dande Darpa Khel area of North Waziristan, a lawless region near the border with Afghanistan.
The Associated Press cited a senior U.S. intelligence official, two Pakistani intelligence officials and two Taliban commanders, all speaking on condition of anonymity, as saying the Taliban leader was dead. Some reports said his close associate, Tariq Mehsud, also was killed.
A resident of Miram Shah near Dande Darpa Khel who requested anonymity said Mehsud had lived in the compound for the last year. The resident added that a large number of Taliban fighters had cordoned off the compound and were not letting residents into the area, suggesting that someone important had been killed.
Six drones were hovering over the area, he added, preventing Taliban from entering the compound to retrieve the bodies and help the wounded.
Pakistani Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan condemned the drone strikes on local television, calling them an attempt to sabotage proposed peace talks between the government and the Pakistani Taliban.
Mehsud, believed to be in his mid-30s, is among Pakistan's most wanted men. In August 2009, he assumed leadership of the Pakistani Taliban because a drone attack killed the previous leader, his mentor.
Friday's attack happened a day after three terrorists were killed in a drone strike on a rebel compound near Miram Shah.
Journalists and aid organizations are not allowed into the border areas most subject to drone attacks, making independent verification of military and Taliban claims difficult.
U.S. drone strikes in Pakistan have come under fire at home and abroad. Many Pakistanis view them as a violation of national sovereignty, although residents in the tribal area often support them. Watchdog groups Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International late last month accused America of indiscriminately killing Pakistani civilians with its drone program.
In the last week, however, Pakistan's Defense Ministry released written comments in parliament saying just 67 civilians were killed in drone strikes since 2008, compared with 2,160 terrorists, with no civilians killed since the beginning of 2012.

In a real-life situation, the virus could have commanded the iPhone to take screen shots of credit card numbers or banking PIN numbers.

Billy Lau, a research scientist at the Georgia Institute of Technology, called this "white hat" hacking when pros hack to show off potential security problems so that they can be repaired. Lau says that Android models are not vulnerable to the same attack because of a warning that users receive if their Android flavored device is plugged into a computer.

William C. Velásquez was born in San Antonio and had a long career of political activism mostly in Texas before he died at the young age of 44 in 1988. Among his many accomplishments were the founding of several pivotal civil rights organizations in Texas, voter registration efforts, involvement in the farmworker unionization movement and teaching a class at Harvard University in southwestern politics.
Specifically, Velásquez was involved in founding: MAYO, the Mexican American Youth Organization, which worked in voter registration and mobilization; the movement that would become La Raza Unida Party, a political party founded to run Latino candidates in the civil rights era; he worked as a boycott coordinator for the UFW and then founded the Southwest Voter Registration Education Project (SVREP), which was dedicated to empowering Latinos through their voting power.
And perhaps most importantly, Velásquez inspired and helped mentor countless Latinos in the course of his work. He died young, but his legacy will live on for a long time to come.

Iron Chef and James Beard Awarding winning chef Jose Garces has opened Yuboka, a new restaurant at Revel in Atlantic City. Yuboka serves dim-sum, Asian-inspired small plates, and bowls of noodle soup. The 36-seat noodle bar, right next to Amada on the casino floor, is designed for a quick, cheap meal and takeout for lunch, dinner, and late-night dining. Highlights include chicken wings with spicy garlic-ginger sauce; a lamb burger; seafood noodle soup with poached shrimp, crab, Taiwanese barbecue sauce, crispy shallot, and udon noodles; and dumplings, some of which will be brought in from Philadelphia's Dim Sum Garden. The restaurant will also serve cocktails, beer, wine, sake, and tea.
Garces is also bringing his Distrito Cantina Food Truck (formerly Guapo's Tacos) to the boardwalk at Revel Beach. Every Saturday and Sunday from Memorial Day through Labor Day from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m., the truck will be serving up Garces' Mexican bites for beach-goers to enjoy.
Revel [Official Site]
Distrito is bringing back their Football Fiestas for another season. Every Monday throughout football season Distrito will be serving up endless tacos and enchiladas for $25 a person from 8-10 p.m.. If that wasn't enough of a deal, Dos Equis Amber and Lager will both be $2 during the special. The big game will be shown on the flat screens downstairs as well as projected on a big screen in the upstairs lounge.
What kind of enchiladas and tacos, you say? We're glad you asked. Read more »
Jose Garces is a busy fella. Man is an Iron Chef to start. He's got his brand spankin' new farm to worry about (called Luna Farms, located on 37 acres in Bucks County). He has events to attend, appearances to make, a cookbook out in the world and just debuted a new catering arm of his Garces Restaurant Group (called, of course, Garces Catering). And it's not like he's short on actual restaurants in his portfolio, either. Right now, he's got eight houses up and running–seven here, one in Chicago, and some of them are numbered among the best restaurants in Philly. I'm exhausted just reading about all the things Garces does, and while you'd think that all of that, plus eight kitchens to supervise, eight dining rooms to worry about, eight crews to boss should be enough for anyone, apparently that's just because you're a lazy, shiftless slacker like me.
Because it's not enough for JG. Not enough by a loooong stretch. Because from what we know right now, it looks like the man is going on a spree.

Tony Bennett visits New Orleans, plugs rebuilding
Gerard Veal, 3, and his sister Mia Veal, 5, participate in a ribbon cutting ceremony with singer Tony Bennett, right, Barnes & Noble chairman Leonard Riggio, center, and New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu, third left, to commemorate the 101st and final home built by 'Project Return Home,' a rebuilding effort started by Riggio after Hurricane [auth] Katrina, in New Orleans, Friday, Nov. 11, 2011. (AP Photo/Gerald Herbert)
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Grammy-winning jazz crooner Tony Bennett is championing a rebuilding effort to help New Orleans residents displaced by Hurricane Katrina.
At the site of the 101st and final house built by Project Home Again, the 85-year-old singer said Friday that bringing people home is important to protecting the culture and traditions of New Orleans.
Says Bennett: "The gospel music, the music that started in churches here that created the art form of jazz, that needs to be preserved."
He looked on as a gospel choir clapped and swayed while singing "Oh Happy Day" and "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" to commemorate the project founded by his friends, New York couple Leonard and Louise Riggio.
After seeing Katrina's devastation on their TV sets following the 2005 storm, the Riggios pledged to build homes for low- and middle-income families who were forced from their homes with little hope of returning.

Judy and Fred Reinhard love to sit in the rocking chairs on the porch of their Sullivan's Island beach cottage and tell guests the story of how they discovered it on a bike trip six years ago.
"When we first rode by," Judy recalls, "the front yard was so overgrown with vines we could hardly see the house." But what they could see―an old-fashioned raised cottage with a tin roof and a deep wraparound porch―they liked. When they managed to get a look inside, they fell in love with the scrubbed pine floors that had never been finished, the beaded board covering the walls and ceilings, and the open floor plan. "It looked just the way a beach cottage should," Judy says.
Used as a boardinghouse in the early 20th century, the house now provides a pared-down getaway. Designed for easy access and guests' privacy, every room has a door that opens onto the porch surrounding three sides of the house. Windows in nearly every wall―even the interior walls―make the most of the island's climate, inviting sunlight and sea breezes to flow freely throughout the house.
With its spare, functional space, the cottage reflects the minimalist aesthetic the Reinhards employ at Fred, a home and kitchen boutique the couple operates on Charleston's King Street, just 20 minutes away from the island. Rows of white dinnerware, clear glassware, and stainless-steel kitchen accessories fill the store and stand as testament to clean lines and simple living. "We have always been interested in houses and the things that go in them," says Judy, explaining why she and Fred decided to open the store 11 years ago.
It was only after opening the boutique and settling into a 19th-century Charleston house that the Reinhards began to search for their beach cottage. While they wanted a seaside retreat for themselves, Fred also hoped to create a place where their two grown children and the grandchildren would visit. "I spent every summer growing up at my grandparents' beach bungalow in Seaside Heights in New Jersey," he recalls. "I want my grandchildren to have the same memorable experience of summers at the shore."
The Reinhards chose Sullivan's Island because of its traditional charm and family-friendly community. Most of the houses on the small barrier island are permanent homes for families who live there year-round. Playing children and romping dogs are common sights, and beach traffic stays light.
At the end of every spring, Fred and Judy move out of the city to the cottage, where they spend the entire summer. Using an almost all-white palette, they have kept the decor as informal as possible. A pair of comfortable old sofas slipcovered in white sheets faces a generously sized table in the living room. Some items came with the house, including the twin beds in the guest room and a tall mirror that leans against the living room wall. Flea market and antiques store finds make up the rest.
"I've begun collecting mismatched old wooden chairs," says Judy. "They must have unusual characteristics and cost less than $10." One has a back carved in the shape of undulating waves; another has a seat with a star pattern perforated into the wood. To unify the different designs, Judy painted these pieces and much of the furniture in the house high-gloss white. "White never goes out of fashion," she says.
The varied textures and shapes of white forms―turned table legs, cotton bedspreads, paneled doors, and painted window mullions―reflect the shifting coastal light and cast shadows on the salt-bleached floors and walls. Ceiling fans whir gently, spinning a pale blur of blades. Glimpses of color offer subtle contrast in each room: the soft honey of an antique pine wardrobe crowned with earthenware crocks, an American flag Fred found washed up on the beach, an unstained wood table from Pottery Barn.
With its uncluttered attitude, the cottage is a cool and peaceful retreat. Yet it becomes a busy hub of family activity throughout the summer when Fred and Judy's children and grandchildren visit from Charlotte and Atlanta for weeks at a time―just as Fred had hoped they would.

This time let's look at a couple of reader tips, but first, a request:
please send email to email@example.com. This will make it much easier for me
to sort the mail. Thanks.
Here's a tip from reader Warren M.:
"In the past I was reluctant to use Tweak UI to setup automatic
logon in Windows 2000 because the password appeared in
NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon using plain language. However, when you
use the latest version of Tweak UI, the password no longer appears
at this location. Instead, it is encrypted in
Reader Chiara F. offers a Task Scheduler tip:
"I recently wanted to use Task Scheduler to run a program every
hour. Task Scheduler doesn't directly support this option, but I
discovered an alternate method. First, open Task Scheduler
(click 'Start, Settings, Control Panel,' and double-
click 'Scheduled Tasks'). Double-click 'Add Scheduled Task'. This
will open the Scheduled Task Wizard. Click 'Next' to continue and
set up the first occurrence of your new task. Click 'Finish' to
close the dialog box and save your changes.
Now, double-click your new task to open it and then click the
Schedule tab. Now click 'Advanced'. Select the check box
labeled 'Repeat task' and then specify the time interval in
minutes or hours. Next, select the 'Duration' radio button and
specify the length of time you want your program to repeat. For
example, if you need a program to repeat every 10 minutes for an
eight hour period, enter 10 minutes as your time and eight hours
as the duration."
Thanks for the tips, Warren and Chiara.

Red Sox even World Series with 4-2 win in Game 4
The Red Sox tied the World Series and two wins apiece with a 4-2 in over the Cardinals in St. Louis Sunday night. Boston's Jonny Gomes hit a three-run home run in the top of the sixth inning, making a loser of Cardinals starter Lance Lynn, a Brownsburg native.
The game ended with Red Sox reliever Koji Uehara's pickoff of pinch runner Kolten Wong at first base with Carlos Beltran at bat representing the tying run.
After Lynn left the game with two runners on base and two outs in the sixth, Seth Maness came on in relief to give up Gomes' go-ahead home run on a 2-2 pitch.
The Cardinals responded in the seventh when pinch hitter Shane Robinson lined a double to Gomes in left center, and scored on Matt Carpenter's single to make the score 4-2.
Boston's bullpen was able to stave off St. Louis rallies in the 8th and 9th innings, including Uehara's pickoff of the rookie Wong, who was brought in to run for Allen Craig after Craig drove a pinch hit single off the right field wall - his second pinch hit off Uehara in as many nights.
The Cardinals took a 1-0 lead on Boston starter Clay Bucholz in the third when Carpenter singled, advanced to second when Red Sox center fielder Jacoby Ellsberry bobbled the ball, and scored on Carlos Beltran's to center.
The Red Sox tied the game 1-1 against Lynn in the fifth inning after a leadoff double by David Ortiz, who was 3-for-3 at the plate in the game, followed by a sacrifice fly by Stephen Drew.
Inserted into the starting lineup about 75 minutes before game time because Shane Victorino had a stiff back, Gomes was 0 for 9 in the Series before connecting Maness.
Felix Doubront won in relief of starter Clay Bucholz.
Suggested Links
John Lackey made a rare relief appearance in the eighth, stranding Yadier Molina, who reached third base with one out, to set up for Uehara's save.
Game 5 is Monday night, with Jon Lester starting for Boston against Adam Wainwright in a matchup of the starting pitchers from Game 1.

Make a perfect pinwheel! No tracing or guessing! This activity is fun and also a great way to teach about pattern-making and shapes.
Just print out these patterns I made below on some colorful paper. You can use any kind of paper you want– copy paper, scrapbook paper, or cardstock. If you plan to paint patterns on the paper, it's best to use cardstock.
These fun shapes will be cute centers for your pinwheels.
Decorate the printouts any way you like. My kids and I chose to paint them, so we used cardstock. You'll need your printouts, some thumbtacks, craft paint (or crayons or stickers or whatever you want to use to decorate it) and some small-ish dowels. The dowels I used are 3/16″ in diameter and came in a pack of 16 for about a dollar. The thumbtacks were $.88 for a pack of 70. Good deal!
It's fun to find objects around the house to use as a stencil to decorate your paper. Here I used the end of a marker for the circles, and the dots were created using the end of a pencil eraser. Create a pattern and when it's dry, turn it over and create a contrasting pattern.
Again, this is a fun way to teach kids about patterns and shapes. You could come up with countless patterns to create and ways to put these together.
When your decorated printouts are finished, just follow the directions on the printout to create the pinwheel. Tape down the corners as you go, it will make it easier. When you are ready to stick the thumbtack in, I found it's better to cut a hole about the size of a pencil eraser in the pinwheel and the center shape. If the hole is bigger, the pinwheel spins a little better. Also, don't stick the thumbtack in too far, it needs to have a bit of space for it to spin. I found it best to push the thumbtack through, then turn the pinwheel upside down. Place the dowel on top and use a small hammer to push it into the wood just right.
Another Method for Those Who Are Thumbtack Phobic:
If you're going to create these with very young children and don't like the idea of pins, here's another idea to make it safer for your kids. You'll need the same supplies as above, but you'll also need some bendy straws.
A bendy straw fits perfectly over the 3/16″ dowels. Slide it over the dowel and tape around the bottom so it stays in place.
On this one I fluffed the flower shape a little by cutting between each petal and folding the petals up.
Cut the holes in the pinwheel and center shapes, then slide them over the bendy part of the straw.
Cut slits in the end of the straw to make 4 strips.
You can put a button on top and pull the straw strips through to keep everything together. Now it looks like a daffodil.
Last, just put some tape around the straw in the back to hold things in place back there.
Have fun with your pinwheels!

Trending Now - Fitness Myths Busted
gainscville, Georgia -
There's so much conflicting information out there over exercise, it's often hard to sort out the bad information from the good information, so as you do a little spring training, we're here to bust a few fitness myths.
Myth number one: Crunches lead to that sought after six pack.
Well not so much. Crunches aren't the best way to keep your abs slim, because they only tone a small portion of your abs. Better yet, is to do planks or an exercise that engages your entire core.
Myth number two: Running is hard on your knees.
Maybe not. A Stanford University study found that the knees of older runners were no less healthy than those of people who didn't run. Experts recommend a total body workout, in addition to regular running, so that you build up muscles to support your knees during your runs.
Myth number three: The more time in the gym, the better.
Experts say: no, you don't have to be a gym rat. It's not about the hours you clock at the gym, it's about the way you train.
If you work out hard every single day, it prevents your muscles from rebounding and prevents you from improving. so scheduling a day of rest between workouts is essential.
And lastly, it's not about the length of the workout but the intensity. Experts say shorter work outs are better if you keep the energy up.

Retailers Relieved About Avoidance of "Fiscal Cliff"
January 2, 2013
The National Retail Federation today welcomed an agreement reached between the White House and Congress on a plan to avoid the fiscal cliff. The agreement was approved by the Senate early this morning and could be considered by the House as soon as today.
"If our nation had been allowed to go over the fiscal cliff, the consequences would have been devastating for businesses and consumers alike," NRF President and CEO Matthew Shay said. "With the economy still recovering, taking hundreds of billions of dollars out of consumers' hands was a risk we could not afford to take. This agreement might not be seen as perfect by everyone, but it gives American consumers and businesses the certainty they need to put worries over this issue behind them and get on with the business of growing our economy and creating jobs. We urge Congress and the White House to move as quickly as possible to get it passed and signed into law."
While avoiding the tax hikes and spending cuts that would have come without a deal is good news, Shay said the agreement is just a first step in addressing economic issues.
"The Administration and Congress did what was politically easy but will soon have to return to deal with issues that are economically critical if we are to sustain a growing and vibrant economy," Shay said. "Congress and the White House still need to develop long-term plans dealing with tax reform and other fiscal issues. We have avoided the immediate crisis, but there's much more to be done before our economy is fully restored.
The was not the only "cliff" that was avoided in recent days. As reported in SCMR, retailers were also cheered by news that the International Longshore Association would call off their strike before the new year. A happy 2013 after all? Stay tuned.
If tax hikes and spending cuts that make up the fiscal cliff had been allowed to go through, retails sales in 2013 would have been flat for the year, with negative growth in the first half of the year, according to an analysis conducted by NRF Chief Economist Jack Kleinhenz working with the economics firm Macroeconomic Advisors. A November White House report said consumer spending could have taken a hit of nearly $200 billion in 2013 if middle-class tax cuts were allowed to expire.

Electrical Box near Shower Valve
I'm in the process of re-doing a shower due to previous leak, termite damage, subfloor replacement, etc. I had to rebuild the wall that contains the water lines to the shower head and valve. On the backside of the wall that contains the showerhead and valve, I want to locate a switch for the canlight in the shower. This is similar to the previous wiring in the wall that I had to demolish and rebuild. The existing hot wire runs from a GFI outlet to the electrical box where the previous wiring had a switch loop to the canlight and a continuing circuit on to the exhaust fan in the bathroom. It's been several months since I tore out the previous wall and I can't remember how close the electrical box for the switch and the shower valve were. With the new framing and plumbing, the electrical box will be in the same wall cavity (between the studs) approx 4 to 5 inches from the shower valve. Is this a problem? Something about electricity and water concerns me. Incidently, I asked the guys in the electrical departments at both Lowes and Home Depot this weekend and I got two conflicting answers. One said never put an electrical box in the same wall cavity as a shower valve and the other said it was OK as long as the circuit was GFI protected. Help!
There is no problem having the box on the back side of the wall with the valve.
No problem having the box in the same wall as the valve, provided the box doesn't open to the shower side of the wall. The guy at Lowes/HD is right in part...Any receptacle in a bathroom must be GFCI protected. But, if the shower wall backs up to another room and the electrical is for that room (not the bath), then there's no requirement for GFCI protection.
In your application, the switch box in the shower wall is just fine. The switch can't be in the shower, but can be outside it. If you're concerned, GFCI protect the entire circuit.
joed and thekctermite,
thank you for the prompt responses. I appreciate your help !

Dog Speak
Deb D'Andrea
Nederland, CO
There's a great NOVA program called "Dogs Decoded" that is an absolutely fascinating program every dog companion should watch. It is available on DVD and Streaming via Netflix. For one segment of the show, 36 human participants (12 who had Mudi dogs, 12 who had other breeds, and 12 who didn't have a dog) listened to recorded barks of Mudi dogs experiencing various emotions: aggression, fear, despair, playfulness and happiness. Each human participant had to guess which bark aligned with what situation.
Amazingly, researchers found all human participants, even ones who didn't have dogs, were able to 100% identify each bark they heard. This research supports the concept that a dog bark is essential to our canine-human interaction. Other research has shown dogs understand upwards of 200 human vocalizations, and that dogs have deep and rich emotional lives – which comes as no surprise to anyone who has been around dogs. I didn't need a research team to tell me that!
For those of us who have been around animals, we understand their subtle or not so subtle communication methods. These forms of communication can be as in-direct as your pup curling up next to you to be close; or very direct with them throwing toys at you and lifting your hands off the keyboard with their nose. My Tiki girl will come over, snag my elbow with her nose and toss my arm off the keyboard if I've been on the computer too long!
Dogs are very social creatures and their barks can be loud and harmonic, or a combination of barks to express emotions or sound the alarm to alert other dogs, people or animals to a situation. I can tell what's going on based off the tone and type of my dogs' bark, sometimes with both my girls chiming in; other times only one will kick into high gear and the other just hangs out. It's fascinating to me, and I always get up to look at what they're trying to tell me about.
If you want to check out the NOVA dog vocalization test mentioned in the beginning of this column, visit "http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/nature/meaning-dog-barks.html". The interactive 'test' is very cool. If you have resting pups under your feet when you listen to the barks be prepared for your pups to react — both my girls popped right up and started barking when they heard the first recorded bark!
Till next time! Deb D'Andrea, founder of 4TheLuvOfDogz, provides Petz Nanny Services, mobile Canine Massage, and Canine Agility. Deb's home-made dog treats are sold at local stores and K9Birthday Cakes are available direct.

: Are we allowed to know who the mods are?
I suspect the numbered mod names were meant to avoid any sense of cliques, but for me personally it ends up feeling like a voice from above is announcing to us how it will be - somewhat 1984-ish, rather than members of the community who are making decisions and rulings.
I'm not sure this makes total sense as I don't know exactly how to explain how having threads locked/deleted/etc. by a number instead of a person makes it feel different. Anyone else feel the same?
The pews never miss a sermon but that doesn't get them one step closer to Heaven.
But at least the pews never attend yoga!

In a potentially difficult series for Australia with New Zealand having won it 3-0 last time, the Australian captain, ever the man for the big occasion, stepped up and dominated proceedings, making sure his side took the series 2-0, with the third match being abandoned due to rain.
It was a case of two innings and two unbeaten centuries for Ponting, who celebrated his 33rd birthday on Wednesday, as he scored a total of 241 runs at a strike-rate of exactly a run a ball.
When he is in that kind of form there is little the opposition bowlers can do about it.
Ponting, who just keeps going from strength to strength, has now smashed his career-best rating as he moves to 832 ratings points.
Only five batsmen in this current decade have enjoyed a better rating than him.
They are: Michael Hussey (Australia, 863 points in 2007), Matthew Hayden (Australia, 854 points in 2003), Sourav Ganguly (India, 844 points in 2000), Sanath Jayasuriya (Sri Lanka, 838 points in 2003) and Kevin Pietersen (England, 834 points in 2007).
Apart from those immediate targets, there is still plenty else for Ponting to aim for, including the record for the highest points rating in history being held by West Indies legend Viv Richards, who managed to get to 935 rating points in 1985.
Ponting is currently 60 points clear of team-mate Andrew Symonds in second position and Adam Gilchrist, who scored a quick-fire half-century in the first ODI against New Zealand at Adelaide, is up three places to 11th spot.
But it is not all good news for Australia with Hussey, Hayden and Michael Clarke all having slipped slightly in the latest rankings.
Among the bowlers, New Zealand captain Daniel Vettori has dropped out of the top five having gone wicketless in the Chappell-Hadlee series and Australia's left-arm wrist spinner Brad Hogg has fallen four places and out of the top 10.
Black Caps' fast bowler Kyle Mills has also slipped four places to 16th position while Australia's Brett Lee gained two places after a fine series performance.
The 31-year-old New South Welshman took seven wickets at an average of 15.28 and this has moved him up past Hogg and South Africa's Makhaya Ntini.
Australia's Shaun Tait is also a man on the move. He jumped up 11 places during the series and is close to breaking into the top 30 for the first time in his career.
There is no change in the top five of the LG ICC Rankings for ODI all-rounders with Scott Styris and Jacob Oram failing to move up from sixth and seventh positions respectively.
The series win has also strengthened Australia's position at the top of the LG ICC ODI Championship table and it is now six points clear of South Africa in second place.
New Zealand slips one ratings point but remains third in the table.
It's very close mid-table with just five ratings points separating the Black Caps in third and England in seventh position and plenty of movement is expected over the coming few weeks.
LG ICC ODI Championship:
Teams: 1. Australia 130; 2. South Africa 124; 3. New Zealand 112; 4. India 110 5. Sri Lanka 108; 6. Pakistan 107; 7. England 107; 8. West Indies 100; 9. Bangladesh 48; 10. Ireland 28; 11. Zimbabwe 19; 12. Kenya 0
Top 10 Batsmen: 1. Ricky Ponting (Aus) 832; 2. Andrew Symonds (Aus) 773; 3. Kevin Pietersen (Eng) 748; 4. Matthew Hayden (Aus) 745; 5. Mohd. Yousuf (Pak) 742; 6. Graeme Smith (SA) 741; 7.

China Glaze Roguish RedFriday, October 19, 2012
Good morning, dear readers! :D
I hope you are prepared for a few photos!
Last week I was fortunate enough to get most of the new China Glaze Wicked collection. While you saw Roguish Red in my Tuesday post, it was covered with two other types of polishes. Today I will show you swatches of Roguish Red all by itself.
Roguish Red:
Isn't that gorgeous??! I had to show you photos with and without flash, so you could see how SHA-ZAM!! it is. :D When I got it in the 4 pack (along with Ghoulish Glow and two others) I didn't think much of it. It was a pretty vermilion, but nothing that really caught my eye (I usually stay away from most oranges anyway). When I painted my nails with it, I instantly fell head over heels for it. It is a really beautiful colour, and to my surprise, it doesn't look horrible on me (yay! XD).
I have to say that I am really impressed by the colours and quality of this collection. :D
Stay tuned for more Wicked polish swatches!

Synchronized Soundtrack Revolutionizes Reading Experience
Booktrack offers readers a customized synchronized soundtrack to their favorite e-books, revolutionizing the reading experience.
Booktrack is a startup that seeks to revolutionize the reading experience through the creation of a whole new genre of e-books. The company's technology pairs music scores and sound effects with text, automatically paced to the user's reading speed, generating a synchronized soundtrack for e-books. Currently Booktrack is compatible with the iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch, with plans to expand into Android apps. Paul Cameron, Booktrack's co-founder and CEO explains the technology:
Tens of millions of commuters around the world listen to a playlist that's disconnected from what they're reading—perhaps a sad song with an upbeat story. Now they can replicate a movie-like sound experience and fundamentally transform their reading experience.
Check out a demo of the first synchronized soundtrack fully integrated in a new novel, 'The Power of Six' by Pittacus Lore (James Frey), published by HarperCollins Children's Books.

Each of the following eight regions will conduct two first and second-round regional tournaments: East, Mid-Atlantic, Southeast, South, Great Lakes, Central, North Central and West. Both the Northwood and Drury (Mo.) men's teams were selected to host Great Lakes Regional play. Sixteen men's and women's regional tournaments will be held with the winner of each advancing into the 16-team single-elimination national championship field slated for May 14-17 in Houston, Texas.
The Bulldog men's tennis team will compete in one of two NCAA-II Great Lakes Regional Tournaments this Thursday and Friday, May 8-9, at Northwood University in Midland, Mich. FSU will square off against West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (WVIAC) opponent West Virginia Wesleyan on Thursday (May 8) at 3 p.m. (EDT). The other first-round match in the Northwood regional pits Great Lakes Valley Conference (GLVC) member Rockhurst (Mo.) against the host Timberwolves starting at 1 p.m. (EDT) with the winners slated to meet Friday (May 9) in the final at 12 p.m. (EDT).
All matches in the Northwood regional are slated to be held outside on-campus at NU's Gerstacker Tennis Center. The Midland Community Tennis Center will be used in the event of rain or inclement weather.
The selections of teams for the championship was based on prescribed criteria listed in the NCAA-II Men's and Women's Tennis Championships Handbook and approved by the NCAA-II Championships Committee.
The Ferris State men's team, presently 10-10 overall, will be making its 11th consecutive and 14th overall NCAA-II Regional Tournament appearance. Last season (2007), FSU defeated Grand Valley State 5-3 in the regional first round (5/3) before falling to host Northwood in the regional final (5/4) for the second-straight year at Midland, Mich. Ferris claimed its sixth consecutive regional title and ninth overall berth in the national finals round three years ago (2005) where FSU fell to West Florida (5/11) by a 5-1 count in the round of 16 at Altamonte Springs, Fla.
Ferris State placed fourth overall at the 2008 Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) Men's Tennis Tournament under first-year head coach Alex Palladino two weeks ago (April 19-20) at the Midland Community Tennis Center.

Usually Ships in 1-5 Days
Ever since she can remember, Bird has loved flying in small propeller airplanes with her mechanic dad. When the local airstrip is turned into a military flight school, Bird is in heaven--and she manages to turn one young airman's interest in her older sister into some personal flight lessons.
Then a young Japanese American student named Kenji Fujita joins Bird's class, and the entire school seems to be convinced that he's a spy, a secret agent, or at the very least, that he and his uncle want the Japs to win.
But through a class project, Bird and Kenji befriend each other and accidentally discover real spy activity in the area. So begins an adventure that will shake the town and may even change the future of the United States.

A week ago, the Salt Lake City Council voted 4-3 to extend the Sugar House Streetcar north along 1100 East to 1700 South. I was one of three votes in the minority. I believe an extension east up 2100 South made more sense.
But last Tuesday I put that preference aside and made a motion to extend the streetcar only from its current endpoint near McClellan Street, up Sugarmont to Highland Drive (about 1125 East and 2250 South), and to stop there until the citywide transportation plan is complete.
It became apparent to me during this process that the city's public engagement was lacking at best. While small focus groups consisting of individuals in the immediate proximity to smaller projects can work well, this approach has proven ineffective on larger projects that have much broader impact.
Salt Lake City government must understand that a different approach to public engagement on large projects is necessary or we will continue to see the same types of public outrage we saw with the initial siting of the Public Safety Building, the once-proposed Sunnyside Avenue "road diet," the restoration of Miller Park and the Sugar House Streetcar. Each of these projects began following a very similar, limited public engagement process, and each has seen overwhelming public opposition to the proposals from those whose voices had not been sought early on.
The public outcry regarding the streetcar was more than just individuals who didn't want the project close to them, though there were those. It consisted of many who justifiably felt that more public engagement and education were necessary before moving forward. They are correct.
While waiting on an extension would have delayed the ability of the city to apply for and secure federal grant money to help build the project, there is currently no known federal money available. It's true that with federal financing, things move fast, but for me the risk of losing out on potential money wasn't worth the gamble of alienating the public who will be asked to use and later pay for an extension.
Platitudes of making an immediate decision for clean air are hollow. We all want cleaner air. We know that cleaner air is all of our responsibility. But rushing a project that is at best four to five years away supposedly because of air quality is disingenuous. If clean air were the primary reason for the streetcar, using natural gas buses would be nearly as efficient and a lot less expensive.
I strongly believe that providing more education and notice of proposed projects early in the process will help avoid much of the anger and animosity that we're seeing. There will always be those who disagree with a decision and don't like a particular direction. It's impossible to please everyone all of the time. But with more notice and education, at least people who disagree with a decision will know their voice and opinions were heard.
I appreciate everyone who participated early on in the streetcar discussions, and those who took part as soon as they became aware of the pending decision. We live in Salt Lake City because we love it. It's our home. I will continue to push for earlier and greater public engagement in city projects so that we can avoid such rancor in the future.

Phone Reception-Blocking Cage Forces People To Physically Connect [Pics]
Mobile signals and internet connectivity cannot penetrate this steel-framed structure.
ON/OFF is a temporary installation that houses an electromagnetic signal free-zone. Once you step into this cage, you will be disconnected from any mobile reception and Wi-Fi signals – you are basically entering a parallel universe where technology is not the focal point of life.
The designers of ON/OFF saw an opportunity to remove oneself from connectivity, and nailed it. In collaboration with the University of Melbourne, creative studio Sibling disrupted communication instead of enhancing it. ON/OFF features an enclosed electrified mesh that blocks out signals to create the "cold spot". In addition, mirrors were installed on the outside of the cage to repel signals as well.
The exhibition took place earlier this year as part of the ABP Alumni Survey Series, which featured various workshops, seminars, and collaborative opportunities. Considering the difficulties of escaping our digital-heavy society, ON/OFF gives seekers a sanctuary where they can re-connect with themselves.

Pumps & Systems, July 2007
Positive displacement pumps are known as the poor cousin in the global pumps market. With regard to the two broad product classifications, one being centrifugal and the other positive displacement (PD) pumps, the former dominates with nearly 70.0 percent of the 2006 market share revenues.
By definition, PD pumps displace a fixed quantity of liquid with each revolution of the pumping element. This is accomplished by trapping the fluid between the pumping elements and a stationary casing.
The PD pumps market can be segmented into three broad product type classifications: rotary, reciprocating and peristaltic pumps. The pumps that comprise the rotary pump classification include lobe, vane, gear and progressing cavity/multiple screw pumps. Additionally, the reciprocating pumps category includes piston and diaphragm pumps.
PD pumps are expected to become increasingly popular during the forecast period 2007-2013, mainly due to their relatively compact design, high-viscosity performance, continuous flow despite differential pressure and overall ability to handle high differential pressure.
Although different types of positive displacement pumps are utilized in diverse applications by the end-user industries, they all essentially perform the same function - increasing the rate of fluid flow in a conduit. Some of the major end-user industries include chemical processing, water and wastewater treatment, pharmaceutical processing, oil and gas, food and beverage processing and power generation.
Crossroads: Key Challenges
Saturated traditional industry applications forces manufacturers to penetrate new markets
Positive displacement pumps have traditionally targeted very diverse applications, ranging from chemical processing to pulp and paper to power generation. However, most of these end-user markets are now approaching a saturation stage and, as such, new applications must be found to drive revenue growth rates. For example, new applications for PD pumps can be found in juice plants, poultry and pharmaceutical processing.
Market maturity forces manufacturers to provide value added support services to customers
Customers are increasingly looking to PD pump manufacturers for full global support services. Extensive competition among manufacturers and other suppliers has led to partnerships and consolidation within the pumps market, forcing manufacturers to provide value-added services in order to sustain end-user loyalty.
Consequently, many PD pump manufacturers are now providing on-site assistance and annual maintenance contracts to their end users. In these situations, manufacturers must undertake preventive maintenance work throughout the year for the end user.
Increased competition compels manufacturers to introduce innovative technology and efficient pumps
Since the PD pumps market is in a mature stage, the key differentiator for manufacturers will be innovative products that are highly energy efficient and unique in terms of design. Because the current PD pumps market is flooded with products that have similar features, there is a major challenge for manufacturers to differentiate their products from other competitors on the basis of pump design and niche applications.
Manufacturers that successfully meet this challenge are in a position to benefit from the present and expected changes in the industry.
The market's consolidation trend challenges the existence of medium and small manufacturers
The consolidation trend in the PD pumps industry will continue, wherein the established manufacturers will benefit as the focus shifts to providing more solution-based and full support services rather than just the product itself.
Top manufacturers prefer to go for smaller acquisitions to expand their product offering and penetrate newer markets. As a result, the existence of medium and small PD pump manufacturers who concentrate on niche applications will be threatened. They will find it hard to compete with the established market participants, and this will have a direct effect on their sales and profit margins.
Having discussed some of the key challenges in the market, let's take a sneak peak at some of the emerging trends in the PD pumps market as highlighted below.

[- Acne -]Ninety percent of all teenagers suffer from some form of acne.
[- Arthritis -]A woman's arthritic pains will almost always disappear as soon as she becomes pregnant. No one knows why.
[- Bulimia -]There is a strange and terrible disease known as bulimia in which the victim develops a ravenous, insatiable appetite. A woman observed in St. Bartholomew's Hospital in nineteenthcentury London is recorded to have consumed three loaves of bread every day, along with three pounds of steak, large quantities of vegetables, a pound of cereal, and twenty glasses of water. An American doctor named Smith, reporting in the Medical and Surgical Reporter in Philadelphia, mentioned an even stranger case, that of a boy who ate continuously for fifteen hours every day and who had eight or nine bowel movements each evening. In one year this boy's weight increased from 105 to 284 pounds, and it was steadily increasing by about a half-pound a day. Despite his prodigious intake of food, the boy constantly complained of hunger. Another unpleasant ailment akin to this one is polydipsia, or constant thirst. Medical records mention a three-year-old child who drank two pailfuls of water every day. Sir M. MacKenzie, a British doctor, cited the case of a woman who drank four pailfuls of water a day and who once, appearing before a scientific commission, drank 14 quarts of water in ten hours, passed 10 quarts of urine, and continued to complain of thirst.
[- Cancer -]A study at the Harvard School of Public Health revealed that women who drink one or more cups of coffee a day are two and a half times more likely to get bladder cancer than women who drink no coffee.
[- Cancer -]The chances of an American woman gettinq breast cancer depend on a number of variables. For a woman whose sister's mother, or daughter has developed cancer in both breasts the chances are five to three against, however, if one of these relatives developed cancer before reaching menopase the odds are fifty-fifty. Women with the lowest chances of getting breast cancer are those whose ovaries have been removed before the age of thirty five. Chances are almost as good for a woman who has had a child before the age of eighteen.
[- Colds -]Teenagers are 50 percent more susceptible to colds than people over fifty.
[- Crib Death -]Every year some 10,000 infants in the United States die from a mysterious ailment known as Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), or Crib Death. Most of these children have been put to bed hours before their death, seemingly in perfect health. All die without a trace of struggle. As yet no one has been able to explain the cause of these deaths.
[- Diabetes -]Diabetes was the third leading cause of death by disease in America. It has increased 50 percent since 1965, and today affects at least 15 million people.
[- Fever -]In 1971, at Memorial Hospital in New York City, a woman weighing less than 100 pounds ran a fever of 114 degrees and survived without brain damage or physiological after effects.
[- Hemorrhoids -]Two out of three adults in America have hemorrhoids.
[- Hypertension -]The rate of hypertension is twice as high among blacks as whites in the United States, the rate of hypertension among men living in Vermont is also twice the national average, Women of all races are afflicted by this disorder far less than men.
[- Hypertrophy -]A condition known as hypertrophy (enlargement) of the tongue can sometimes reach such extremes that the tongue becomes too large for the mouth and protrudes over the chin, reaching down as far as the chest. This extraordinary enlargement may cause deformity of the teeth and jaw, and may even cause the sufferer to choke on his or her own tongue.
[- Influenza -]In 1918 and 1919 a world epidemic of simple Influenza killed 20 million people in the United States and Europe.
[- Leprosy -]Men are twice as likely to contract leprosy as women.
[- Low Disease Rate -]Medical studies show that members of the Seventh-Day Adventist church, even those living in heavily polluted areas, have 1,000 percent less lung cancer than members of the general population. Moreover, SeventhDay Adventists have appreciably lower rates of other cancers and of respiratory diseases, 40 percent less coronary trouble, and scarcely a quarter the amount of tooth decay found in the general population.
[- Mesothelioma -]The symptoms of the rare form of cancer, mesothelioma that is usually caused by exposure to asbestos, usually take 20-50 years to appear. This means asbestos compensation claims in years to come, could sky rocket as the sleeping killer awakes and no one can gage how many people will be effected. Another interesting mesothelioma related fact is that most of the 24,000 schools in the Uk still have significant amounts of deadly asbestos, poising an unknown risk to children and also the teachers that are being exposed to it day-in, day-out for all of their working lives.
[- Micro-organisms -]One cannot catch cold at the North Pole in winter. Neither can one contract the flu, nor most of the ailments transmitted viruses and germs. The winter temperature is so low in this part of the world that none of the standard disease causing Micro-organisms can survive.
[- Neuritis -] -]Neuritis and neuralgia are not diseases. They are nerve pains related to disease. In fact, when a pain is identified as neuralgia, it is often because the exact cause is not known Neural differs from neuritis in that neuralgia pains come in paroxysms, while neuritis is more constant and even. Thus sciatica is a kind of neuralgia and a toothache a kind of neuritis
[- Physical Disorders -]A collection of mysterious and unusual Physical Disorders
Arriazia - The complete absence of breasts.
Athetosis - Constant involuntary movements of the fingers and toes. In advanced stages of this disease sufferers continually wave their hands about in slow, languid motions and are totally unable to keep the fingers still. Often this disease is confined to one side of the body.
Contagious follicular keratosis - The whole body becomes covered with small spinelike growths of a dirty yellow color. The spines are very hard and, when cut off and placed in a container, rattle like scraps of metal.
Diphallic terata - The presence of more than one penis.
Harlequin fetus - A newborn child emerges covered with fatty epidermic plates about a sixteenth of an inch thick. These plates cover the entire body and face like a loosely built stone wall. The skin is so stiff and contracted that the eyes cannot be opened (or if they are open, they cannot be shut) and the lips are too stiff to suck. The child soon dies from starvation and loss of body heat.
Mercyism - The need to regurgitate after each meal and then immediately to eat another full meal. For some reason this disease was at one time observed to be common among physicians.
Naevus pilosus - Enormous moles or birthmarks with great amounts of hair growing out of them. The "bearded woman" and "orang-utan man" seen at circuses and carnivals are usually victims of this disorder.
Plica polonica - The skin and nails turn spongy and black, the hair follicles exude a gluey liquid, and the hair itself becomes painful to the touch. Oddly enough, this disease is found almost exclusively among Polish people.
Polyorchidism - The presence of more than two testicles. This is the opposite of the condition known as anorchidism, in which a male is born with no testicles at all.
Saltatoric spasm - Spasmodic muscular contractions of the calves, hips, knees, and back that cause the sufferer to spring up or jump about uncontrollably every time he or she attempts to stand.
Xeroderma pigmentosun - Small yellow warts cover the entire body. The skin is wrinkled and abounds in strange white scales. This disease, quite rare, usually attacks children.
[- Tapeworms -]Human tapeworms can grow up to 22.9m.
[- Venereal Disease -]Each year more than 300,000 American teenagers become afflicted with some form of venereal disease.

Rescued penguin chick named after protector
The Woodland Park Zoo named a two-month old rescued penguin chick yesterday in honor of the little hero who saved it as it was hatching.
While enjoying the penguin exhibit, the little boy alerted the keeper that he could see an egg on a cliff in the exhibit. The keeper, Celine Pardo, immediately followed the boy's instructions and scooped up the egg. The egg was rushed indoors and relocated under a pair of foster parents. It hatched on April 5.
By the time Pardo returned to the exhibit to personally thank the boy, he had already left the exhibit.
"We are so grateful to this little boy for helping us save this precious bird. If a crow or seagull had scooped up the egg, it would have been a goner," said Pardo at the time. "We'd like to find him and extend an invitation to go behind the scenes to meet the chick and help name it."
But after two months of searching, the zoo was unable to locate the boy. Yesterday, the now two-month-old chick was named Ramón, a Spanish name that means "protector", in honor of the little hero.
Ramón os one of two chicks of four-year-old mother Sardinia and nine-year-old father Groucho that hatched in April.

Rear Step Cover Removal?
Hi Guys and Gals.
Just back from a short holiday and dying to get to work with this 3M carbon fibre vinyl I bought recently. Firstly I want to do the rear step cover, but having looked at it, I've no idea how it comes off. It looks as if part of it is glued down.
I can of course fit the vinyl while it's still attached, but I think it would be much better to remove it, then wrap it.
Anyone any ideas how this comes off. Done a quick google, but nothing.
Re: Rear Step Cover Removal?
Yeah, just kind up pull gently.
What I did was kind of shoved my fingers on the right side under it and ran them across.
All the clips just pop out; take your time. But took my a minute.
Re: Rear Step Cover Removal?
if you get under the bumper you can see the clips that hold it down. not the rivets im talking about the blind clips. gentle prying with a plstic tool so you dont do any damage was how i got mine up.
Re: Rear Step Cover Removal?
Great! Cheers guys. :thumbsup:

Second time installed Part 1 and part 2 same time and started the software. Worked really nice and looked good. But ofcourse I didnt have voice, so I installed the beats audio. After that everything "stopped working" so had to uninstall. I have tried like every variations and none of them worked. Sad

Whether you're planning on spending your weekend at the beach or in the backyard, our SELF Style team shows you their go-to outfits, with mix and match pieces that can be worn all season long.
Celebrating in the city…
Down in sticky hot New Orleans, I'll be wearing easy, breezy pieces and comfy shoes. Throwing in the shimmery skirt makes it feel special and I love the cool mix of casual and dressy.
– Amber Herring, Associate Accessories Editor
Urban Outfitters crop bustier top, $49
There are so many crop tops in stores right now – to try the trend without feeling trampy, pair it with a high-waisted skirt or shorts to show just a sliver of skin.
A great piece to have in your wardrobe – it can be dressed up or down. It works so well with a fun printed casual top too!
Report western ankle boot, $69.99
Western inspired boots are back in a big way – I love pairing them with dresses and skirts.
Chilling in the country…
I'm headed to a casual country wedding this Memorial Day weekend and I'm jumping at the chance to wear some hot color! With a comfortable, yet sophisticated dress paired with a gold mini wedge, a colorful handbag, and some fun jewels- I'll be ready to (comfortably!) toast the couple and the start of the summer season.
– Jacqueline Risser, Assistant to the Fashion Director
Zara's Draped Waist Dress, $99.90
Its hard not to smile when eyeing Zara's bold printed dress – the draping matched with the short hem makes it perfect for the low key wedding.
Pour La Victoire Wedge Sandal, $99.99
These mini wedges are a great compliment when paired with a draped waist dress. They are ideal for trekking through grass, while also providing a lift.
Big Buddha Clutch, $49.95
The gold piping kicks this clutch up a notch and brings together all the gold accessories with print's bright hues.
Barbecuing at the beach…
I'll be at the beach, soaking up some sun (with a generous slathering of SPF, of course). I'm ready for the surf with these beach basics in tow.
– Sara Holzman, Fashion Assistant
These espadrilles are the perfect beach shoe when your toes aren't dipped in the sand. Off the beach, pair them with a pair of summer jeans, light and figure-friendly.
Patterned Polyester Triangle Bikini Top, $29

From £250,000 to £1.7 million: Greenwich Peninsula homes range from studios to waterfront penthouses
New districts are being born, regeneration is opening up London's forgotten acres, and Crossrail is triggering a construction boom across the capital as developers unveil their autumn new homes launches.
The property market has changed down a gear, prices are levelling off, and though there is still a lot of fizz, buyers are wary of interest rate rises, tougher mortgage rules and the outcome of next year's general election.
Keen to get the best price, London house hunters are increasingly flexible, more willing to put down roots in another borough or cross the Thames, especially for impressive architecture. The main flows are from north and west London to east and south London, where family houses are significantly cheaper and new Overground stations are helping to revitalise areas such as Brockley and Dalston.
This computer generated image illustrates the view over the River Thames across to Royal Arsenal
Designers get serious
Thoughtful interiors are enticing buyers to homes such as Carlow House with its glass-walled "winter gardens" for year-round use. This handsome Fifties factory conversion in Camden with 85 loft-style apartments launches next week. Prices from £500,000. Call Galliard on 020 7620 1500.
Builders are far more conscious of "place-making", as at Nine Elms in Battersea, where the entire district and public realm is being upgraded. Homes in listed Battersea Power Station have been released for sale, with designs inspired by the building's industrial heritage, featuring exposed brickwork walls, polished concrete floors and free-standing copper baths. Prices from £980,000. Call 020 7501 0678.
Developers are also creating landscaped communal areas - pocket parks, courtyards, roof gardens and squares — that are an adjunct to residents' own private space, while on-site amenities or "lifestyle extras" range from valet parking to virtual golf.
Buyers, as ever, go for location and price, but also now for the architecture, view, the package of extras, investment potential or the promise of a better future in low-maintenance, eco-friendly homes with floor plans to suit modern lifestyles, structural warranties and a painless transaction process.
New homes are still in short supply, particularly finished properties, so developers are pushing off-plan sales with computer fly-throughs and glamorous marketing suites. But space, spec and natural light are easier to grasp when walking around a completed home. You must have confidence that the developer will deliver what is promised, with no loopholes. Always get your solicitor to trawl the small print.
New townhouses bordering Wandsworth Common have private access to Spencer Park, with a tennis court and children's play area for the exclusive use of local residents, chef Gordon Ramsay among them. In summer the residents adorn the park with candlelight and hold a dinner party. Called Asquith, the scheme has four six-bedroom houses of 4,640sq ft. Prices from £4.95 million. Call Savills on 020 7326 8370.
From £1.575 million: Octavia Mews is within walking distance of Kensington and Chelsea's parks, museums and restaurants. Call 020 7758 8488
If you are priced out of the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea but want to live within walking distance of its parks, museums and restaurants, Octavia Mews in Tasso Road, West Kensington, W14, has eight modern houses with light-filled basements. Prices from £1,575,000. Call Hamptons International on 020 7758 8488.
Bear Lane, near Tate Modern at Bankside, derives its name from the Elizabethan "sport" of bear baiting. Nine flats, including a penthouse with roof terrace, have been built on the site of a Victorian warehouse. Call Cluttons on 020 7407 3669 to register. Also on this patch is The Music Box, a striking glass structure with 41 apartments above a new home for the London Centre for Contemporary Music and the National Jazz Youth Orchestra. Call Taylor Wimpey on 020 7355 8150.
From £4.95 million (left): new townhouses at Asquith border Wandsworth Common. (Right) From £1.85 million: loft apartments at the Pathé Building in Wardour Street, Soho
Contemporary townhouses in a quiet part of Canonbury, Islington, have been launched. Prices from £1.52 million. Call Currell on 020 7226 6611.
According to property specialist CBRE, within tightly packed Soho there are up to 20 small-scale development projects, among them the conversion of the Art Deco Pathé Building in Wardour Street into 15 lofts and two duplex penthouses. Prices from £1.85 million. Call 020 7182 2477.
Barts Square is a new address for an ancient pocket of London between St Paul's Cathedral and Smithfield Market. The old hospital campus is being redeveloped into 235 homes, a mix of loft-style flats in listed buildings and new low-rise blocks tucked away in courtyards and passageways. It is the debut residential development of City office builder Helical Bar. Prices from £775,000. Call 020 7409 8756.
From £775,000: homes at Barts Square, between St Paul's Cathedral and Smithfield Market
The first flats at a new 10,000-home riverside district in south-east London will be launched next week. For most of the 20th-century, Greenwich Peninsula was blighted by a gasworks. The Millennium Dome, now the O2 arena, and a new Jubilee line station kick-started regeneration, but progress stalled until last year when Chinese developer Knight Dragon snapped up 190 acres for transformation into five new neighbourhoods, with 45 acres of gardens and a commercial zone to include offices and shops, plus cultural venues, hotels and schools. Eventually 23,000 people will live there.
New standards in "urban mixed-use design" are promised. Most of the housing will be high-rise and high-density, while pedestrians and cyclists will take priority over cars. Canary Wharf employees are expected to make up a large chunk of the new residents. Gateway Pavilion, London's biggest and most expensive marketing suite, has been built on a site close to the cable car link across the Thames to Royal Docks. Designed by London Eye architects Marks Barfield, the two-storey glass pavilion has show apartments, an art gallery and restaurant.
High-rise and high-density: Pedestrians and cyclists will take priority over cars at Greenwich Peninsula.
Greenwich-based Meantime Brewing Company has moved to the site, planted hops along the Meridian Line and launched Peninsula Pale Ale, a beer to mark this new era, while Shunt Theatre, live performance specialists, have turned a jetty into a theatre using old sea containers. Prices start at £250,000 for studios, rising to £1.7 million for a waterfront penthouse. Visit www.greenwichpeninsula.co.uk or call 020 3713 6153.
A neglected industrial strip between the peninsula and Greenwich town centre is also getting a facelift. Barratt has launched Enderby Wharf, with 616 flats priced from £318,000. The site is also earmarked for a cruise liner terminal. Call 0844 8114334.
Fulham Reach, with 744 homes, occupies a tranquil section of the Thames favoured by scullers and oarsmen, between Putney and Hammersmith Bridges. It is quite a bit cheaper than developments further east towards Chelsea, and is now attracting people priced out of the Royal Borough. A private members club at the development offers a spa and gym, snooker room, cinema room and a temperature-controlled wine store with 1,000 bottles.
Developer St George has created a riverside promenade, Hammersmith Embankment, and put in a new park. A community boat club and jetty are also in the mix. Faulkner House, a new riverside block, launches next month. Register on 020 7870 9500.
From £320,000: The Broadway is a new-build scheme of 83 flats in Tooting, which is now buzzing with young metro types who flock to its bars and bistros
Like a lot of south London, Tooting spent much of the 20th century asleep in run-down respectability, until buyers priced out of Clapham started to search further down the Northern line. Today Tooting is buzzing with young metro types who flock to its bars and bistros, including new Soho House eateries, in the high street, and it is still cheaper than Clapham. The Broadway is a new-build scheme of 83 flats priced from £320,000. Call Crest Nicholson on 020 3375 2241.
Fusion in Cygnet Street, between Shoreditch and the City, has a residents-only landscaped roof garden and underground cycle storage. Smart, good-value apartments are priced from £640,000. Call 020 7620 1500.

Zanna, Don't! (A Musical Fairy Tale)|New Orleans
See 'Em On Stage: A Production Company
Multiple Dates
Event Details
See 'Em On Stage: A Production Company is proud to announce its second full-scale musical production: Zanna Don't! (A Musical Fairy Tale).
The New Orleans/Louisiana premiere of Zanna, Don't! (A Musical Fairy Tale) will open at The Shadowbox Theatre, located at 2400 St. Claude Avenue-New Orleans, LA-70117, on March 14 and run March 15, 16, 20, 21, 22, 23, 27, 28, 29, and 30. Thursday, Friday, and Saturday night performances will begin at 8pm and Sunday matinee performances will begin at 2pm.
Zanna, Don't! is a critically-acclaimed, award-winning 2003 off-Broadway musical written by Tim Acito with additional lyrics and material by Alexander Dinelaris. The show is set in a parallel magical universe where homosexuality is the norm and heterosexuality is taboo. Set in a mid-western all-American type town, the action takes place at heterophobic Heartsville High. Zanna, the school matchmaker (think Dolly Levi with more flair), brings together happy same-sex couples until the football team's handsome quarterback and the lovely captain of the Girls' Intramural Mechanical Bull-Riding Team begin to discover their feelings for each other.
In addition to receiving several 2003 Drama Desk and Outer Critic Circle award nominations, the original production of "Zanna, Don't" won the Lucille Lortel award for best choreography as well as the GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding New York Theater Production and was voted Favorite Off-Broadway Musical in the Broadway.com Audience Awards.
Following the sold out run of the Big Easy Award nominated Evil Dead: The Musical, Zanna Don't! will be quite a change of pace; going from the world of blood, dismemberment, and evil Candarian demons to a celebration of love and diversity! "See 'Em On Stage: A Production Company" is proud to continue its mission of bringing musicals to the New Orleans theater community that are brand new to local audiences.
Zanna, Don't! is produced and directed by Christopher Bentivegna. Choreography and assistant direction is provided by Lindsey Romig. Natalie True is the music director (leading a live rock band).
Ariel Schwab will serve as production manager. Caroline St. Amant is the stage manager and Michelle deMontluzin is the production designer. Elizabeth Corley will contribute to special effects.

We are happy to share some of the wonderful pieces that were submitted during the Carnival of Nursing in Public as "Crème de la Crème" posts. I'll be posting a few at a time so you can look at them at your leisure. If you feel so moved, please click over, read the whole post, and leave a comment in support of the writers who participated in the Carnival.
- Breastfeeding Moms Unite!, What is Beautiful: Melodie discusses the controversial breast - it has a dual purpose. Have we as a society forgotten that?
And now society can't tell the difference between the non-sexual breasts for feeding a baby and the sexual breast used to titillate men. Either way women lose. You're a trollop if you want to feel pretty and dress sexy and you're repugnant if you nurse your baby in public and someone sees a little bit of flesh.Read more from Breastfeeding Moms Unite!
- Peaceful Parenting, Breastfeeding Baby Jesus: JD Fritz, M.D. Ph.D. shares long lost images of a breastfeeding Jesus from the Birth and Babies library.
Images of Mary breastfeeding Jesus were once ubiquitous in churches around the world. But eventually in North America, as the artificial feeding of babies became more popular, and the plastic bottle replaced the breast, our nipplephobia got the best of us and these sacred images all but disappeared from churches and art galleries in North America.Read more from Peaceful Parenting.
- PhD in Parenting, Would You, Could You Nurse in Public?: Annie presents a marvelous twist on this classic Seuss tale.
I would not, could not, when in Spain.
I would not, could not on a plane.
I will not do it at the mall.
I will not do it on a hill.
I will not do it here or there.
I will not do it anywhere.
I do not like to nurse in public.
I do not like it, friend of mine.
