I finally took a shower today. It's freezing in India and there is often no hot water at the house I'm staying at. Today there was hot water, and I was so relieved I cried as I poured the small bucket of steamy water over my hair. Showers in India in middle class families are, um, awkward. I squat, hunched on the ground and I use a bucket.
I packed all wrong. Winter clothes for Toluca Lake are absolutely not winter clothes for India. So I'm finding myself strolling the Tibetan refugee markets for thick wool sweaters, scarves, socks, — way more than expected.
I've also managed to break out with a moderate-to-severe case of acne. I've been to India enough to become accustomed to a minor break out during the first week. It's always the same. I get to India. I break out. It goes away. It's been here for a few weeks now and the zits are getting worse.
I also went to a salon where I received a haircut and massage by three women using rose oil and. The lady cutting my hair must not have heard me correctly, and she cut my hair off. My hair is now above my shoulders.
But it's worth it because I'm here to check on the orphanage I opened last March and to open a new one. It's one thing to be in L.A. receiving pictures of the children in the orphanage and an entire other to be here, in their home, holding their hands. These children have stolen my heart.
"Hi guys," I say in English because my Hindi sucks.
I walk into in a home and before I can take my heavy boots off I'm tackled to the floor by the five boys who live there. I manage to stand up and the boys fight to hook themselves around my legs as if I'm a tree.
The boys are learning English in school, but as of now the only words we mutually understand are, "My name is Chutney."
The boys say this and then I say it and then we all burst out laughing because chutney is an Indian spice – not a name. I have no idea where they learned this, but it's adorable.
I spend the night at the orphanage on the top bunk. All was quiet. Out of nowhere Sonu says, "My name is Ch-u-t-a-nee." And we all cracked up and laughed ourselves to sleep.
Acne, occasional showers, and Peter Pan hair are all worth it. I've fallen in love with these children.

The Australian economy lost momentum over 2012, Westpac research says. Domestic demand growth over the second half of the year was noticeably weaker than in the first .
Analysts have blamed continuing uncertainty in the euro zone and the United States; and lower commodity prices and rising wage costs dampened activity in the mining sector.
"A slump in global commodity prices and rising domestic costs led to an abrupt deceleration of mining investment," the analysts say.
Investment in private infrastructure also lost steam. Investment in private assets grew more than 40 per cent in the first half of the year but slowed to a crawl in the second, climbing just 2.6 per cent.
The southern states felt the impact of lower levels of investment and poor jobs growth more so than their northern counterparts. Consumer spending wound back 0.2 per cent in Victoria, and 1.2 per cent in Tasmania. Spending in South Australia moved ahead just 0.3 per cent, while spending in NSW gained 0.4 per cent. Western Australia's spending growth almost halved over the past year, falling from 4.3 per cent to 2.4 per cent in the second six months.
But successive interest rate cuts are expected to have some impact on demand growth. "The housing sector is beginning to respond and consumer confidence has improved across the nation, boosted by a rise in household wealth," Westpac said.

Fanning blitzes Macdonald

Mick Fanning of Australia celebrates after winning in the Rip Curl Search WCT at Reunion Island.

In an all-Australian final, Mick Fanning saved his best for last to blitz Phil Macdonald to take victory in the Rip Curl Search WCT event in St Leu, Reunion Island today.
After finishing the action packed final held in 1.5 metre waves with an 8.0 and a 9.10 out of 10 for a total of 17.10 to Macdonald's 5.30, eight-seeded Fanning's form indicates that he is in a fantastic position to give the Men's World Tour title one hefty shake.
His victory over the 14th-seeded Macdonald now places him in third position on the rankings, 56 points behind fellow Aussie Trent Munro, who's ranked 2nd, and 322 points behind current tour ratings leader and former six-time world champ, Kelly Slater (USA).
Fanning's form had wavered throughout the event and by his own admission he was lucky to scrape through some of the heats in the early rounds.
But peaking at exactly the right time in the final, Fanning completely trounced Macdonald who fell on some key waves that could have given him the winning edge.
Getting off to a slow start but really driving it home with his patented ultra fast top to bottom carving, Fanning was over the moon with his win especially after having most of 2004 off after having a nasty hamstring injury.
"I'm stoked," said Fanning.
"I was a bit nervous on my first couple of waves but after that I just restarted the heat in my head and scored an 8.0 and I knew if I could get another really good one it would be hard for Phil to come back.
"I haven't been worried about the ratings but I wanted to get another solid result before the next event in South Africa, and well this is as good as you can get!
"I'm having such a great time being back on tour after seriously injuring myself last year. To have two wins under my belt at this time of the year is unreal."
Macdonald paddled up to Fanning with one minute remaining in the final, to shake hands and congratulate him on his win.
"It's always great surfing with a friend in the final," said Macdonald.
"Even though I didn't win I'm glad it was a mate who did. He's going well in the run down to the world title so good luck to him.
"I was really confident going into the final and I knew I was surfing good enough to win but I just didn't get the waves to pull it off."
Finishing in equal third was Australian Jake Paterson and Brazilian Peterson Rosa.
"At the end of the day this result is my best of the year and it'll give me a better seed for the next event at Jeffreys Bay in South Africa," Paterson said.
The surfers now head to Jeffreys Bay in South Africa for the sixth Men's World Tour event.
Paterson has won there in 2000 and 2001.

Mary Rose
David Austin Recommended Variety
One of the most widely grown English Roses and it is not difficult to see why. It forms a good bushy shrub, that is particularly winter-hardy and blooms with unusual regularity throughout the summer. The flowers are of attractive, loose-petalled formation and of strong rose pink coloring. A first class garden shrub that mixes well with other plants.
The delicious fragrance is of Old Rose character, with a hint of honey and almond blossom.
It was named after Henry VIII's flagship when it was recovered from the Solent after more than four hundred years.

Locality adjustments are paid within each area determined to have a Federal - non-Federal pay disparity greater than 5%. There currently are 32 locality pay areas, including a Rest of U.S. area. It applies to GS employees in the continental United States (CONUS) only. It does not cover employees overseas.
Employees entitled to a higher rate of basic pay than the locality rate for their area receive the higher rate. For example, special salary rates may apply to occupations for which the Army has a difficult time recruiting candidates and retaining employees, and the Government pays these employees a higher rate than is paid to other GS employees at their grade and step.
Locality pay is considered in applying various pay-setting rules (including maximum payable rate, promotion, transfer, and pay retention) and in computing hiring and retention incentives and rating-based awards expressed as a percentage of pay.

I would like to address something
that seems to be something that is no longer with us
anymore, and that is the so called, "master on the
mic". He was that one superstar that could work a
mic, and work a crowd almost effortlessly and have the
crowd eating out of the palm of his hand. Just
thinking about the loss of this makes me want to cry
on the inside. I can remember superstars such as Bret
Hart, Mick Foley, Undertaker, Stone Cold Steve Austin,
The Rock, and of course Triple H when he was going on
his run that some refer to as the greatest heel run of
all time when he was first really being pushed
throughout the main events. Every week we knew going
in to the week's edition of RAW that we were in for a
treat once we hear "Do you smell what the Rock is
Cookin"" or that glass shatter.
But now the pacing is slowed down in the WWE, and I
don't mean just inside the ring. However, it does
seem to me that about the same time that the WWE made
a stand to move away from the "attitude" era that we
saw less and less skills on the microphone to the
point where it doesn't even seem important to have the
microphone skill anymore like it was in the past.
Let's take a look at last week's edition of RAW for
instance, Triple H (arguably their best star on the
brand) was talking to Flair and Batista and the
dialogue went something along the lines of, "Can you
believe this crap"" "I've got your back man",
followed by maybe a dramatic stare down and then
Batista saying "Yeah I got your back". This folks is
the backstage mic work being done in RAW's main
storyline right now with Triple H being the focus week
in and week out if and when he's going to drop the
title or Batista's face turn, we would probably expect
the finest mic work to be in these segments to really
push the main events every week on RAW.
Now let's take a look at the ability of the WWE to
promote its Pay Per View's recently. It would be a
lie I think if anyone said the WWE had them on the
edge of their seat to buy a Pay Per View lately.
Hmmm, what's the best way to promote a feud" Oh yeah,
working a great promo on the mic! We have all seen
the sneak attacks, the beat downs and everyone's
gimmick as of late on both the Smackdown! And RAW
brands of "I deserve the title shot more than you now
I am going to turn red in the face, pull my hair out
and scream". Quite frankly, it's getting old. And
how do you mix up feuds" Well, by what the superstars
say, how they get under their skin making the final
collision in the ring a huge explosion of tension that
the crowd can feel. Hey, I can't even tell you why
Edge and Benoit hate each other...cuz' they both want
the title I guess...remember when superstars faced each
other at PPVs because they legitimately hated each
other" Me either...it was a while ago
However, this is all fine and good if the WWE wants to
focus on the wrestling. Focus on the wrestling. But
watching ladies strut around in their undies every
week, is not wrestling. What it makes the WWE look
like is a shell of what it once was by still trying to
promote the sex appeal, I mean there are naked ladies
on the internet, and most people are tuning in for the
wrestling. On another note, if the mic work does stay
the same, why are people who were previously held back
because of their lack of mic ability still not getting
main even shots on their pure wrestling skill" The
closest superstar that I can think of that this is
actually happening for is Chris Benoit. However, if
the shows are going to be more slow paced, technically
skilled why not reward some people that can entertain
a crowd without saying a word such as Billy Kidman,
Rey Mysterio, Rob Van Dam. How long is the WWE going
to sit on Rob Van Dam" This guy can work a match and
bring the crowd into it almost effortlessly. Is he
great on the mic" Sure isn't. Does it matter anymore"
Give the guy the World Title. A fresh face in the
ring, an ability to work with small men, large men,
hardcore and straight up singles matches makes RVD the
most versatile wrester in the locker room, but
somewhere the WWE is still lost with its slow paced
action and old name pushes.
Sure there are a few
(mostly on the Smackdown! Brand) who are now in fact
getting pushes...but when push comes to shove I would
much rather see a wordless RVD in the ring then a
wordless Schnitzky or even a Benoit whose screaming
week in and week out is getting quite boring any day
of the week. I will however give the WWE some credit
on their recent push of Shelton Benjamin, however the
whole lets get to know who Shelton Benjamin was when
he grew up videos seem to have caused the crowd to
lose interest as there was a noticeable smaller pop
for him when he came out after they rolled it. Dear
WWE, if you're going to go for straight wrestling, do
it. If your going to go for babies dying and
Undertaker coming out of the grave storylines, do it.
But the wishy washy product that the WWE has become by
playing the middle road is not working.
Before you through these young guys in the ring train
them on the mic, make sure they know their gimmick in
and out. And on a side note, do we still need to be
doing tough enough" Is Maven not proof enough that
reality shows should not determine who is being pushed
into the ring" Take some time on their character, give
them a solid gimmick so when that music hits the crowd
is standing up getting ready to boo or cheer hanging
on every word he says, otherwise like I said give the
pure wrestlers their chance, I don't know a soul who
wouldn't want the strap around RVD or Eddie G right

The Cardinals officially placed ILB Deone Bucannon on the active PUP list today as training camp is set to begin on Saturday. They also put OLB Jarvis Jones on the active non-football injury list with a quad injury.
The Raiders are covering costs for coaches in the Oakland Athletic League to participate in the USA Football Training Session this weekend. Per a release from the team, it is the second straight year the Raiders are covering the costs for the four-hour workshop, which will be held at Oakland High School.
Here is a summary of the Ravens' transactions for Friday: Signed WR Griff Whalen and CB Reggie Porter; put WR Michael Campanaro (toe) and CB Tavon Young (ACL) on PUP; injury-waived CB Aaron Bailey; placed S Daniel Henry on IR; and removed OL Jermaine Eluemunor (passed conditioning test) from Non-Football Injury list.
Cardinals coach Bruce Arians likes that David Johnson has been open about his goal of reaching 1,000 receiving yards to complement 1,000 rushing yards next season. But Arians admitted he needs to be "smart" with Johnson, who has attracted a lot of attention recently because of Arians' desire to get him 30 touches a game. "We just have to be smart using him because he is a great player and not overuse him. But we're not going to run him 30 times a game."
This year could be the last for the Cardinals with coach Bruce Arians, quarterback Carson Palmer and wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald together. "You never know," Arians said. But last could've been the end of the trio's run, just as easily and this year could, the coach added. "I know if I was going to retire because of my health, I should've did it last year. Hopefully I don't have anything worse than I had last year. I can't speak for Larry and Carson but I'm looking forward to the future."
Cardinals coach Bruce Arians said the team could've reported to training camp three days ago but he felt starting practice Saturday was "plenty." Arizona reported about a week earlier than they normally would've because they play in the Hall of Fame Game in Canton, Ohio on Aug. 3.
When it comes to the depth chart at right guard, Cardinals coach Bruce Arians knows who his starter is – Evan Boehm – and that's it. "We'll see who the hell Nos. 2 and 3 are," Arians said. He said lineman John Wetzel has the capability of playing right guard but Arians wants to keep Wetzel at tackle "as much as possible." Fourth-round pick Dorian Johnson will get as many reps as the Cards can give him at right guard. Johnson was singled out as one player who Arians said he's looking forward to seeing with pads on. "He's going to look a whole lot better in pads than he did in shorts because he's one of those types of football players."
Part of the Cardinals' plan to keep Carson Palmer's throws down and his arm healthy and ready will be to continue giving him – as well as other veterans – days off during training camp. Arians cited Palmer, backup quarterback Drew Stanton, wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald and defensive tackle Frostee Rucker veterans who will get specific days off throughout the next month, sometimes the day before an off day to give the veterans back-to-back days off.
Cardinals coach Bruce Arians said he kept his kidney cancer, which was diagnosed before Week 15 in December, from his team so it wouldn't be a distraction. "We had some big games to finish the season and in no way did that have to be a distraction," Arians said. "All that is behind me."
Bruce Arians reaffirmed his decision to have the Cardinals tackle more this training camp. But he said he'll be "very selective" about when and where he'll allow tackling. In prior training camps, the Cardinals have only tackled in goal-line scrimmages, so even tackling one more time will be a significant increase for Arizona. In addition to tackling more, Arians said the Cards will focus on the "art of tackling" which he said is "lost and we have to emphasize it. Even when we're not tackling, breaking down in good football position."

Multiple sources confirm Dez Bryant was late to Cowboys reporting day today at The Star in Frisco, Texas. Sources said defensive end David Irving did not report because he is already in California. Players had physicals and went through a conditioning test. The Cowboys will fly to Oxnard on Saturday. According to the collective bargaining agreement, players who miss reporting day are subject to a fine of $40,000.

What are the support requirements for someone who has had a lower body lift, breast lift/enhancement, and an extended arm lift all at the same time? I'll be at the recovery center for the first two nights and a friend is going to stay with me for the following two or three nights but, after that, I'll be alone. Will I be ok? Also, any concerns about doing all those procedures at the same time? Thanks, in advance, for any responses.
Support Requirements During Recovery - Lower Body Lift, Breast Lift/Enhancement, Extended Arm Lift?
Doctor Answers 8
I would advise you to stage your procedures if you are concerned with recovery. A total lower body lift is a considerable amount of surgery by itself.
Multiple Procedure Concerns and Safety
Body lift, breast lift, and an extended arm lift - that is a lot of surgery. I would perform a breast lift and an extended arm lift at the same time in 4 hours, which is quick. I do these procedures all the time, and I am always focused on general anesthesia time and risk for blood clots, infection, hypothermia, etc. I would not do all of those at once. Kenneth Hughes, MD breast lift Los Angeles, CA
Recovery following body contouring.
Your plan is a good starting point. It is always a good idea to have friends or family available to help. I would caution against an arm lift performed at the same time as a lower body lift. Following a lower body lift, you may find that you use your arms considerably to help you get up from a sitting position and to get out of bed. I personally stage these procedures to reduce recovery times and improve outcomes. You will likely be in compression garments and it can be difficult to get these on and off, so having available help is important.

Recovery from surgery
It varies from case to case how much help you will need and for how long. Your description of your plans sound about right. After the first three days you should be okay on your own, but probably will not be able to drive a car for bout a week. Get through the first few days, but then take it on a day to day basis.
Support Requirements During Recovery - Lower Body Lift, Breast Lift/Enhancement, Extended Arm Lift?
That is a lot to recover from at once. In particular, if you need your arms to help after the LBL you will be in some trouble.
Everyone heals at a different rate, and the pain levels vary tremendously. For all you are having done, a backup plan should be available in advance should 5 days of help not be enough.
Best wishes.
Body lift, breast lift, and arm lift
It is a lot of surgery, and I personally do not usually do all that together. For some patients it can be done safely. Best to ask you doctor about garments that he prefers.
Questions about after care following a body lift / arm lift / breast lift
Support garments for this type of surgery are rather universal, I would expect that you would be placed in an abdominal binder, a support bra and an arm compression sleeve. Your plastic surgeon will most likely go over your expected care and needs following the surgery. It is a lot of surgery at one time but it can be done safely in the right patient. Good health is mandatory as well as strictly following all post operative instructions including DVT / PE prophylaxis. I typically place all body lift patients on a blood thinning agent after surgery but this may not be universal.
Support Requirements During Recovery - Lower Body Lift, Breast Lift/Enhancement, Extended Arm Lift?
I am glad that you asked such a question. I however wonder how you expect to answer this by any PS without photos. The photos tell us what your PS may be doing with you and accordingly advice you. Kindly post your photos for some useful answer. Wishing you all the best.

Ashburton Plumbing Experts Since 1988
Phone Newman Plumbing on: 0418 328 767
Ashburton Station, 3.25 miles from Oakleigh and 7 miles from Fairfield was opened on 30 May 1890 to the north of High Street under the name of Norwood, taken from Norwood Road {now Toorak Road}.
The station was renamed Ashburton in December 1890. It had a loop on the west side of the line and a dead end siding at the Camberwell end of the station. The two platforms with the siding arrangements indicate that heavy passenger traffic was expected on this section of the Outer Circle.
Ashburton became the southern terminus of the Outer Circle line in 1895 when the Ashburton to Oakleigh line was closed. The Camberwell to Ashburton section was closed on 1 May 1897 but reopened on 4 July 1898. This section was electrified on 30 October 1924. Goods trains ceased in 1954.
Alamein Station- The first section of the Outer Circle Railway line to be completed was the section from Waverley Road to Riversdale Station which opened in May 1890 and went through to the Ashburton area.
The Ashburton to Waverley Road section of this line was closed in December 1895 and the Railway Dismantling Act of 1938 authorized the removal of lines between Oakleigh to a point south of Ashburton Station. These lines were all dismantled by June 1940, presumably around the same time that the Black Bridge was sold for scrap. An Electric train from Camberwell had terminated at Ashburton from 1924 and the line was later extended and electrified half a mile to the new Alamein Station which opened on 28 June 1948 to serve the nearby Housing Commission Estate. The terminus and station was named after the North African battlefield of the Second World War in keeping with names given to streets in the housing estate.
Today the only function remnant of the ill-fated Outer Circle Railway is to be found on the few stations along the Alamein line. Ashburton is 11km south east of Melbourne's central business district.
Ashburton features a retail area around High Street, has the two railway stations of Ashburton and Alamein. The suburb contains student housing due to its proximity to the Holmesglen Institute of TAFE, Monash University {Caulfield and Clayton campus}, Deakin University {Burwood campus} and Swinburne University {Hawthorn campus}.

The New York Times has published a story scolding Rudy Guiliani for arranging only friendly campaign stops, pointedly carping how he is "Seeing Only Softballs".
Stepping to the Plate, Giuliani Is Seeing Only Softballs
SPARTANBURG, S.C., Feb. 21 -- In a swing through South Carolina this week, Rudolph W. Giuliani chose to campaign at a fire house, which is a little like Derek Jeter meeting with Yankees fans -- a most unlikely forum for hostility, or even much skepticism.
It is curious to me why anyone would expect a candidate to open themselves up to any venues that would present "hostility" this many months away from the elections?
Why, exactly, would any candidate plan to give the MSM footage of the candidate getting peppered and attacked this far out from the elections?
Instead of the sometimes barbed give-and-take endured by the other candidates, Mr. Giuliani, the former mayor of New York, fielded a few questions from the firefighters and police officers who gathered to hear him...
In a day when it is all the rage to say that the campaigns are starting too early, the NYT seems to be saying the opposite if they would expect Rudy to open himself to debate styled campaign stops 11 months before the first primary and 20 months before the election itself.
Further, not all the "other candidates" have really put themselves in the sort of situations that the NYT seems to value this far out. In fact, none of them have really stepped too far from their comfort zones as of yet except by accident. In the case of Romney, who has gotten hit with his flip flopping on abortion and the Mormon question, or Clinton, who has had her anti-war detractors assault her, for instance, neither found the situation welcomed OR planned.
Mr. Giuliani recently spoke to state Republican conventions in New Hampshire and California, but he did not take questions, so there was little opportunity to address his views on social issues that set him apart from many in his party.
Rest assured, New York Times, there is PLENTY of time to see the candidates in debates to see how they handle an unorchestrated situation. And if Rudy's campaign never gets around to such a situation it will surely adversely affect his chances.
Lastly, the biggest question this New York Times piece brings up is this: How many times has the NYT bemoaned the dozens and dozens of interviews, staged appearances, and canned "happenings" staged by one Hillary Clinton? How many articles has the NYT written complaining about the softballs lobbed at Hillary Clinton by the MSM whether it be TV, radio or print?
Bet the NYT hasn't written too many of those!
(With the recent spate of fake internet postings written by those who are hiding their relationships with candidates lately, here I want to say that I am not at this time supporting Rudy nor am I part of any campaign efforts on his part. In fact, I am not personally under the employ of any campaign nor endorsing any candidate.)

How Do I Get Rid of the "Welcome to Tabbed Browsing" search
User Help for Mozilla Firefox
7 posts • Page 1 of 1
How do I get rid of the Welcome to Tabbed Browsing page. It defaults to the search engine window when I want it to default to the address bar. HELP!
I haven't see that page. Can you copy the url?

"Choose between the Food Select Feature or other Functions. If no food or function is chosen, Toast is the default."
There is no URL, the page opens with a blank address screen but the cursor defaults to the search window in the "Welcome to tabbed browsing"
I would like the answer to this as well - in firefox. It just started when I installed FireFox 3. Before that it was just giving me a blank page with no search window (which I liked). Now it gives me a single search window in the page which gives me different outcomes than simply google (which has been my normal search engine)
I noticed this "FBSMTWB" at the end of the your user agent. Have you done a malware scan recently?
See this: viewtopic.php?f=38&t=1430845&start=0

According to this link it was installed via a Facebook load. Even though that link refs. IE browser I'll assume that it could affect (if loaded via FF) Firefox.

When countering claims from charities and campaigners that the government's proposed benefits cap would push people into homelessness, Iain Duncan Smith, the work and pensions secretary, made a fairly eye-catching claim. He told the Today programme:
The [definition of homelessness] that's used by the pressure groups is that certain children would have to share rooms.
Well, most of your listeners would find that astonishing. For them homelessness is not having any kind of accommodation, reasonable accommodation, to go to and being on the street. I can guarantee that is not going to happen.
This was surprising: did charities such as Shelter really think homelessness means children sharing bedrooms? The answer to that is no – as Shelter's strongly-worded riposte makes clear. Campbell Robb, their chief executive, said this afternoon: Read more

Consider the following simple model to describe solar radiation incident on the Earth, in which the atmosphere is included. A fraction f of the incident solar flux is absorbed by the atmosphere and a fraction A is reflected, the rest is being absorbed by the Earth. Assume that the only heat transfer to the atmosphere from the Earth is by the radiation and that f =0.25 and A=0.3 . Find the temperature T_E of the surface of the Earth for radiative equilibrium.

Leaking at Charge Pipe/Diverter Valve Seal
My DVs were not making a proper seal to the charge pipe as evidenced by oil/dirt buildup at the base of one of them. The raised boost must have been blowing oil past the o-ring at the base of the DV. I have attempted to solve this by ordering a slightly larger o-ring that fits more snuggly against the DV shaft. So far it seems this will have solved the problem just from how much tighter the seal feels. I have cleaned the area and will check back in a week to see if the problem is solved.
The part number I ordered was McMaster 9262K553. 3.5mm wide with 24mm ID. The new o-ring is on the right and is only slightly thicker than the old one (but thats the point). If anyone else has leaking DV seals, PM me and I can mail you some.
