Tata Motors has launched its new generation sedan, the Tata Indigo Manza, built on its new car platform. The leading Indian vehicle manufacturer has shared its press release about the new international launched and here are some excerpts.
Speaking on the occasion of the launch, Mr. Johnny Oommen, Head - International Business - Passenger Cars, and Tata Motors said: "After seeing wide acceptance, across various countries, we are proud to offer the Tata Indigo Manza, a modern, contemporary sedan to the South African market. We hope to see it become the best-seller in this market as well."
With a length of over 4.4m, a width of 1.7m, and a wheel base of 2,520mm, the has grown in size and thus in interior space. The front wraparound three barrelled headlamps- one of the most striking headlamp units on any car - add to the linearity while giving the Tata Indigo Manza a feline aggressive appearance.
The large 15" alloy wheels, ensconced in their flared arches, give it a higher and more commanding stance. The new rear monolithic angular shaped tail lamps give the profile an unmistakable noticeability for following cars. The trunk has a capacity of 460 litres to meet every need of travel.
The Tata Indigo Manza is designed to offer the very best in comfort, both for the driver and passengers, compared to any other car in its category. The spacious right inclination rear seats with a centre armrest, allow one to sit back and relax, in a living room like comfort and ambience. The interiors exude a fine blend of technology and luxury.
The rich two tone fabric endows the cabin with a warm feel. The tilt adjustable power steering with a height adjustable driver seat allows a comfortable driving posture. The car comes equipped with electronically adjustable and controlled Outer Rear View Mirrors.
The driver information system on top of the central console provides information on fuel consumption and ambient temperature, while the sporty instrument cluster shrouded in the swoop of the soft-feel dashboard completes the styling statement. A 2 DIN Music System offers connectivity with a USB port and Bluetooth connectivity through the Blue5, a feature not even available in premium cars. The audio controls of the music system are mounted on the steering wheel, for ease of access while driving.
The safety features in the Tata Indigo Manza include a collapsible steering column, Anti-lock Braking System and Dual Frontal Airbags amongst others. Instead of the usual red line on the tachometer, the Critical Rev Indicator needle turns red when the engine crosses a critical RPM. The engine immobilizer and the central locking feature are conveniences for additional security.
The drive refinement of the Tata Indigo Manza stems from the internationally-acclaimed 90 hp / 66 KW Safire Petrol engine, sourced from Fiat. The petrol engines are configured using a Continuous Variable Cam Phaser, which smartly adjusts valve timings and intervals for power delivery. In addition, the electronically controlled Intelligent Port Resizer (IPR) function in the Safire engine delivers a perfect balance of power and economy.
The Quadrajet diesel engine features a Variable Geometry Turbocharger for smoother running and an aluminum bedplate along with superior insulation that reduces NVH levels while delivering a superior power to weight ratio. The Drive by Wire technology virtually eliminates all "throttle lag" leading to a faster, smoother response.
Initially the car is being introduced with only petrol engine option and the diesel variant of the car will be introduced later in the South African market. The Safire Petrol is certified by the ARAI (India) to give a mileage of 14.5 kms/ litre.The car will be available in a range of 5 colors through 45 dealerships across South Africa.

How can I encourage creativity in my children? It always seems to involve expense, mess, and the danger of their poking their eyes out.
Let's take the "mess" issue first. If an activity is worthwhile, exciting, and fun, then it's worth a little inconvenience! Besides, some very simple precautions—such as covering the floor with newspaper and using aprons—can minimize the mess and make cleanup a snap. If we are truly interested in fostering creativity, the mess should be the least of our worries. , mother of four and preschool teacher, American Fork Thirteenth Ward, American Fork Utah Stake
As for expense, encouraging creativity is not a series of costly projects—it's a way of life! We can work creativity into our everyday routine at virtually no cost. A parent's greatest expenditure should be in time spent with a child.
Creativity begins with stimulation of the brain at an early age. Giving a baby a variety of interesting things to look at, listen to, touch, and manipulate helps his brain to begin storing many different images and ideas that he can draw upon later. Parents can make a child aware of how things look, feel, sound, and smell by stressing details and differences in color, shape, texture, and size, and by giving simple explanations of how things work. This builds in the child a natural curiosity for learning, leading him to experiment and make discoveries on his own.
It can be as simple as pointing out at lunch that green peas are round and therefore roll, while cheese cubes won't; or suggesting to your children, "Look at that tall house. Is it old or new? What's it made of? What do you think is behind those windows way up on the roof?" The wider a child's variety of experience (zoo, concert hall, farm, airport, grocery store, etc.), the greater his creative potential, because he has so much more to draw upon than a child who is limited in his sphere of learning.
Creative thinking is always encouraged when it is not discouraged. Imagine, for instance, the child's feelings when he shows his latest creation, a crude drawing of an airplane, to his dad and Dad says, "Oh! It's a plane. I see now. Would you like me to show you how a real one is drawn?" Or picture his response when his older brother comments, "What a dumb drawing! Nobody has purple hair!"
A parent who always chooses what the child will wear or insists on decorating and arranging the child's room to his own tastes is missing a great opportunity to encourage the child to try things his way. A child needs an area to do with as he pleases—perhaps a bulletin board in his room for displaying his art or writing attempts. There is a need for the child to be flexible within his own environment.
I learned from my mother's example the value of doing projects with children. My children have access to finger paints, play dough, crayons, scratch paper, and a variety of "dress-up" and make-believe props both at home and when they visit grandma.
Our boys bedroom is adorned with plaster-cast knickknacks that they have painted at Grandma's with water-soluble acrylics. A part of our own home art supply is powdered tempera paint, which I can mix up at a moment's notice for a little boy who wants to paint the "airplane" he's hammered out of two boards. (I send him outside to do it, and I can do something else in the meantime. If it looks like he's working too fast, I give him a smaller brush!)
One night as I was wallpapering my kitchen, the boys (ages four and six) begged to help. As they gathered up the scraps, I got a brush for each of them and filled a cottage cheese carton half full of paste. They headed out to their "hut" under the deck with their supplies and a flashlight, and I could hear them giggling and exchanging ideas as they "papered" the hut's walls. Occasionally one would express self-confidence by exclaiming, "Hey! That looks nice! That was a really good idea I had, wasn't it?" (They also had some really good splotches of paste on their jeans, but it washed out.)
The kitchen is one of the best sources of creative materials. Once you accept that the mess is worth it, the rest is easy. One adventurous mother of six occasionally turns the kitchen over to the children for a day. They get everything out of the cupboards and, with a few guidelines from her, mix and match ingredients until the batter tastes edible. "So far," reports the mother, "we've been able to eat everything they've concocted." Rolled dough cut out with cookie cutters is every child's delight. As my two-year-old cut out his first star, he exclaimed, "I done it!" When I corrected him by saying, "I did it," he beamed, "So did I!"
Much of the "danger" of creative projects can be eliminated by close supervision of small children and by stressing safety measures as the skill is taught: teach them how to cut with blunt scissors, how to hammer a nail without getting their fingers in the way, and how to saw cardboard with a paring knife. Even preschool children can safely learn simple skills if the instruments are the proper size for little fingers. At age two, our children have started using small, round-tipped scissors: the toddlers sit on the floor with a pile of old newspapers, the scissors, and a wastebasket, and by their third birthday, all have been expert cutters. (Yes, it's a mess, but part of learning to create is learning to clean up!)
I have seen from experience that a child who has no skill at using scissors, paste, crayons, or paint will not be too interested in creating anything that requires these tools. Take the time to help your child gain the self-confidence that comes with knowing these basic skills.
Of course, creativity is not manifest only on paper, so try some other kinds of activities that stimulate the imagination: role-playing in family home evening; "what if" questions and situations that require alternative solutions; making up songs about the family or some place you've been; decorating windows and bulletin boards for a holiday; creating patterns and sewing doll clothes; building a playhouse or hut with large boxes or boards; etc.
The most important aspect of encouraging creativity is building the child's self-esteem, so he feels his ideas are worth expressing. My own formula for encouraging creativity is half stimulation and half opportunity. And then we clean up the mess.
How can we as Church members be appropriately involved in community causes?
The Lord said to the Prophet , managing director, Church Public CommunicationsJoseph Smith that "men should be anxiously engaged in a good cause, and do many things of their own free will, and bring to pass much righteousness." (D&C 58:27.) Joseph Smith and other Church leaders have since encouraged our people to work toward improving the moral, cultural, and physical environment—as well as the spiritual—in the areas where they live.
A number of times in recent years the First Presidency has urged Church members as citizens to join with their neighbors in vigorously opposing such evils as pornography, abortion, and the availability of liquor to youth. Latter-day Saints acting as concerned citizens (not as Church representatives) have in many cases responded admirably. In some places Saints have helped achieve tighter laws on abortion, curtailment of obscene motion pictures, and curbs on young people's access to liquor.
Certainly if we are to have for ourselves and our families a more wholesome environment, we as concerned citizens must ever be vigilant in watching legislation and the enforcement of laws. Moral pollution is too often the price we pay for indifference. We should constantly keep in mind that big money is made in such businesses as pornography and liquor, which means that well-paid professionals are working to increase sales and patronage.
Opposing these things also takes time, hard work, talent, and dedication. For example, I know of a Latter-day Saint woman who for years has toiled hard and effectively in a community organization that is fighting obscenity. Under her dedicated leadership, local ordinances for controlling pornography have been passed. A respected attorney and a successful businessman, both active Church members, have for years been key members of a citizens' council that "watchdogs" liquor laws in their state.
Latter-day Saints also should be involved in bringing positive benefits to their community. A mother in our ward, a stalwart in the Church with a good family, has found time to lead out in creating and funding a recreational park for the elementary school our daughter attended at the time. Another ward member is a leader in promoting civic drama. Another neighbor helps with the ballet; another, the symphony.
President Spencer W. Kimball has set the example: before he was called to the Council of Twelve, he was a stake president, yet he was also a district governor of Rotary International and an effective community builder in Arizona.
And much good can often result from even a little time invested—a letter to an editor or lawmaker, a turn in picketing an obscene movie.
While Latter-day Saints should engage in community causes, they should maintain a good balance. Their family should come first. Church activity should not be neglected. I knew a man years ago who was so caught up in community causes that his home and yard became a neighborhood eyesore. Another was so busy in politics and civic undertakings that his own children drifted into delinquency.
But for the well-organized Latter-day Saint, there usually is time to be a concerned, involved citizen. It may mean one or two fewer television shows a week, or one less ball game a month—but it is worth it. Even more, it is vital, if we are to have the kind of communities we need for a full flowering of gospel living and the joy that is its reward.
How can I develop a love for great literature? I started reading Moby Dick once, but it was so hard I just gave up.
The question of how to develop a love for great literature is a little like questions about other forms of love. People don't ask "How can I , Professor of English, University of Chicagodevelop a love for my girl friend?" or "How can I develop a love for a beautiful car?" We seem to love many things in life spontaneously, and that leads us to expect that if we do not discover a spontaneous love for great art, there is nothing we can do about it. Or we may even come to think that from a sheer sense of duty we can require ourselves to love what other people have told us is lovely and of good report.
But if we look closely at how our "spontaneous" loves develop or die, we see that they only endure and grow if certain conditions are met. First of all, any genuine love requires repeated and deepening experience. Even so-called love-at-first-sight will never endure for long unless one, by repeated and deepening experiences, learns to see more and more qualities in his beloved. And most of our loves—even of people—do not arise at "first sight" but only after prolonged enrichment of our vision and our capacity to see what is there to be loved. The questioner who says "I started Moby Dick once, but it was so hard I just gave up" seems to be placing a demand on the book that would make any loving relationship impossible. It is like saying, "I tried to fall in love with Mary the first day I met her, but she puzzled me so much I just gave up."
Even more important than the length of time spent is the person's willingness to put his or her whole soul into the attempt. Love of persons fails to develop or dies when the suitor insists that the beloved provide all of the energy and reward. Love of good literature or music or art is just like that. A book will give its reader only what the reader can re-create for himself. Many books are written to attract the greatest number of the easily caught—they are like men or women who "get themselves up" in the hope of catching even the laziest eye. Similarly, TV shows are usually designed to require no effort and no creative imagination from the viewer. It is thus easy to love television in the sense of wanting to live with it daily; it is easy because so much of television makes no demands upon us whatever; it gives the illusion of giving all we need. Appreciation of good literature—like genuine religious experience, active participation in natural beauty, or building a marriage—requires our willingness to lose ourselves in it, even when the immediate rewards do not seem exciting.
The comparison between loving literature and loving people may be misleading, however, because literature is such a general word, covering so much ground, that in a sense nobody ever could love anything that big. What one loves is particular books and poems and stories. We have no commandment to love all literature. We are commanded to be charitable to all men, but we need not be charitable to all books. Anyone trying to develop a love relationship with literature ought to begin with those works that are closest at hand and that seem most likely to be rewarding. Just as most of us find it easier to say that we love our fellowmen than to be kind to our own children, neighbors, or office mates, so it is tempting to try to "love literature" and yet do no actual reading.
So I would say to anyone who really believes, as I do, that a love of literature is life-enhancing: start reading, today! Make an appointment with yourself to read whatever seems to you most rewarding, for at least one hour each day. The reading might be done aloud with friends or family, or by yourself but it should be done at a time of day when you are fully alert, wide awake, able to give yourself totally to your developing love.
In short, every human love is first developed and then sustained by a giving of self that can be described either as work or play. What you do not work at, you cannot fully enjoy. Love of literature is the happy by-product of many happy hours of working with and learning to love particular novels, plays, and poems.

Christina Rossetti is one of the best known and loved of Victorian poets, yet only recently has she emerged from comparative critical obscurity. This is partly due to a late 20th-century rediscovery of women writers and partly because of a renewed interest in Victorian culture. Although Rossetti's poetry is readily available, her prose works have remained largely ignored. Selected Prose of Christina Rossetti is the first book to address this deficiency by making accessible reliable texts illustrative of all her prose. The editors have collected selections of Rossetti's prose in its three modes: fiction, non-fiction, and devotional. Rossetti wrote prose all her life, beginning with fiction, and continued with moral tales, stories for children, and thoughtful articles on such literary figures as Petrarch, Dante, and Leopardi. But above all else, she wrote devotional books. She wrote six religious works, first the brief Annus Domini and lastly the massive work on the Apocalypse, The Face of the Deep, published shortly before her death. This groundbreaking anthology helps to reveal Rossetti's deep personal faith while also illuminating nineteenth-century religious thought and spirituality. - Publisher.

Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc.
) Release: Extremely Rare Mitochondrial DNA Deletions Associated With Aging Can be Accurately Detected With Droplet Digital PCR
Seattle, Wash. – September 4, 2013 – A
study published today in Aging Cell
identifies a new tool to accurately analyze extremely rare mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) deletions associated with a range of diseases and disorders as well as aging. This approach, which relies on
Droplet Digital PCR (ddPCR™) technology
, will help researchers explore mtDNA deletions as potential disease biomarkers.
The accumulation of mtDNA mutations is associated with aging, neuromuscular disorders, and cancer. However, methods to probe the underlying mechanisms behind this mutagenesis have been limited by their inability to accurately quantify and characterize new deletion events, which may occur at a frequency as low as one deletion event per 100 million mitochondrial genomes in normal tissue. To address these limitations, researchers at the Seattle, Washington-based Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center developed a ddPCR-based assay known as "Digital Deletion Detection" (3D) that allows for the high-resolution analysis of these rare deletions.
"It is incredibly difficult to study mtDNA mutations, let alone deletions, within the genome," said Dr. Jason Bielas, Assistant Member of the Public Health Sciences Division at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center and lead author of the study. "Our 3D assay shows significant improvement in specificity, sensitivity, and accuracy over conventional methods such as those that rely on real-time PCR."
Bielas added, "The increase in throughput afforded by droplet digital PCR shortened the analysis of deletion events to days compared to months using previous digital PCR methods. Without the technology, we could not have made this discovery."
At the center of the study was
Bio-Rad Laboratories' QX100™ ddPCR
system. Using the QX100 system, Bielas and his team analyzed eight billion human brain mtDNA genomes and identified more than 100,000 genomes with a deletion. They discovered that, contrary to popular belief, the majority of the increase in mtDNA deletions was not caused by new deletions but rather by the expansion of previous deletions. They hypothesized that the expansion of pre-existing mutations should be considered as the primary factor contributing to age-related accumulation of mtDNA deletions.
How the 3D Assay Works
3D is a novel three-step process that includes enrichment for deletion-bearing molecules, single-molecule partitioning of genomes into droplets for direct quantification via ddPCR, and breakpoint characterization using next-generation sequencing.
Once the enrichment process is completed using methods previously developed by Bielas and colleagues, the concentration of molecules within the droplets is adjusted by using the QX100 system so that the majority of droplets contain no mutant genomes while a small fraction contain only one. This process allows each deletion to be amplified without bias and without introducing the artifacts that are common in qPCR.
Following amplification, deletions can be analyzed using ddPCR to determine the absolute concentration of mutated molecules. Using the relationship between droplet fluorescence and amplicon size, Bielas and his team were able to characterize the size and complexity (whether they were a result of a few clonal expansions or a large collection of random deletions) of rare mitochondrial deletions in human brain samples.
The 3D assay provides an important new tool that will allow researchers to better study the mechanisms of deletion formation and expansion, and their role in aging. Droplet digital PCR's high throughput and increased sensitivity will also allow Bielas' lab to target other low-level disease-causing mtDNA deletions in skeletal muscle, brain tissue, and blood.

Kevin Federline has found a job
Kevin Federline has finally found a job, and it's to be the new face of Blue Marlin clothing. Britney attended an ad-campaign shoot in Los Angeles with him and a source says: "She and Sean Preston showed up, and she told all the paparazzi how proud of Kevin she was. The paparazzi went nuts – there was even a helicopter – and La Brea had to be shut down."
I've never heard of Blue Marlin clothing before, and judging by their brilliant business moves I'm starting to understand why. If you're going to appoint Kevin Federline as your spokesperson you might as well just declare bankruptcy now and start looking for a new job as a hot dog vendor. It's not that Kevin Federline isn't a beacon of fashion, I just don't think society is ready for his radical styles. Jeans and a wife beater? Every single day? Slow it down, Mr. Federline, you're blowing my mind.

Thanks to Sean Christmann at Craftymind.com for his extensive performance testing of Flash and HTML5 running in mobile and tablet browsers.
Money quote:
The Flash VM performs really well on mobile chipsets and I don't see any evidence here to support the idea that Flash is slow on smartphones and tablets. High end videos are below par at the moment, but the 3.1 release of Honeycomb illustrates that firmware updates are the key to solving this issue.
His testing is quite thorough. Adobe paid for his time through his employer, EffectiveUI, having noticed his earlier benchmarking work. I feel confident that you will find his testing thorough and unbiased. Check it out at the link above.

Frosting Can't Compare To Tequila
There's no denying that the best part of a cupcake is the frosting, and now that the whole cupcake craze is dying down, a handful of bakeries are offering up the best of this treat in small shot-sized cups. Frosting shots have been billed by College Candy as the delicious answer to a regular shot, but without the hangover. I, however, don't think anything can compare to good, old-fashioned tequila. For one, a shot is supposed to be swallowed in one gulp. I imagine that when you turn a frosting shot upside down nothing spills into your mouth, so now, you have to use some sort of utensil. Second, a bunch of adults sitting around eating frosting would be a pretty hilarious scene. I remember when eating Duncan Hines straight out of the container was a private matter, not a social gathering. Third, I'd much rather have a hangover than come down from a sugar high while in public. When I was younger I wasn't allowed to have a lot of sugar because I would actually get high from it, which means I'd go absolutely bonkers until the sugar wore off. Then I'd be the meanest and crankiest person ever while I came down from my high. So I'd rather save my friends and myself the embarrassment of going through this whole ordeal. At least there are ways to prevent a hangover, like drinking water before passing out or nodding off.

Leftover Stuffing Veggi Bites
Recipe by Pie Queen
I came up with this recipe to use left over stuffing from christmas. You can substitute breadcrumbs in the place of panko if you want. If the mixture does not bind well you can add 1 egg. Salt and pepper to taste.
Top Review by Pam-I-Am
These were yummy! Since I didn't have leftover stuffing, I bought a box of cornbread stuffing and made that first. Then followed the directions to make the patties, using breadcrumbs...couldn't find panko. I ended up using quite a few pots and pans for this recipe and later though that several steps could have been done in the microwave (potatoes, peas, carrots) and that if I had had the stuffing as leftover, that would also be one less pot. We enjoyed the patties and all four flavors of the ingredients were balanced well. I served them with some steak last night, but think it would go best with a poultry dish.
See Discussion:1 Review
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 cup prepared cornbread stuffing
- 1⁄2 cup peas

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 28/10/2012 (1756 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Sam McLaughlin's parents have much to be proud of. From an early age, they instilled in their children a sense of community responsibility that continues to this day through McLaughlin's volunteer work at United Way of Winnipeg. "Growing up, we were quite fortunate," says McLaughlin. "For my parents, it was important that we were involved in charitable work... helping others who may be less fortunate or facing tough circumstances."
McLaughlin was first introduced to United Way of Winnipeg -- a non-profit organization that raises funds to support an essential network of organizations throughout the community -- when he was volunteering at an after-school program, West Broadway Youth Outreach. The program is funded by United Way of Winnipeg, which piqued McLaughlin's interest.
Now McLaughlin, an associate portfolio manager who works with his father and brother on a capital-management team at RBC, uses his financial savvy in his volunteer work at United Way. He is an association liaison volunteer for the organization, which means he meets with the boards of different organizations in the community, pores over financials and programming, and sees where there are places United Way could help. McLaughlin says out of the 100 organizations United Way supports, he has regular contact with between five to 10 every year.
"I come from an investment background, and I've always viewed my United Way contributions as a sort of Canadian balanced fund in a portfolio," explains McLaughlin. He says United Way invests in myriad different organizations whose work many Manitobans may not even be aware of, such as small after-school programs. McLaughlin says a lot of these organizations don't have the ability to put on huge gala dinners or charity auctions, but do amazing work. That's where support from United Way comes in.
"They do such solid investment in the community," McLaughlin says.
McLaughlin also sits on United Way's community-investment committee, and from his earlier days volunteering at West Broadway Youth Outreach, continues his passion for youth education by co-chairing the organization's education impact council.
"Volunteers are actively involved in every aspect of United Way's work," says Susan Lewis, president and CEO of United Way of Winnipeg. "We wouldn't be able to continuously improve or achieve the positive impact we celebrate each year if not for the leadership and commitment of people from every corner and every sector of this city who choose to volunteer with United Way."
McLaughlin says there are around 5,000 people who directly or indirectly volunteer for United Way, and the amount of hours donated is staggering.
He believes everyone should have the same advantages he has had in life, and he believes it is the responsibility of all of us to make sure that happens.
"Anybody who has time to give should be giving time, and anybody who has money to give, should be giving money."
McLaughlin and his wife, Aveeve, a youth counsellor at the Women's Health Clinic, also make contributions to the arts. His wife's concerns lie in food-security issues, so they also try to contribute to food banks.
McLaughlin says giving back can be selfish in a way.
"I want to live in a city that is vibrant and growing and that people are always moving forward," he says. "I don't think that we should ignore our responsibility to be part of our city and make a change to our city."

Hello Fashionista/os! My name is Ingrid Palmer and I am a junior at Olivet Nazarene University. I am majoring in Elementary Education and plan to obtain a master's degree in Speech Pathology or School Psychology after I graduate. I love the thrill of finding pieces for my wardrobe that can be worn in the day going to classes and at night when I go out with friends! Being the poor college student that I am, my main concern while shopping is finding a piece that is high quality while still in my budget.
My style has changed over the past two years dramatically. I used to get excited over short shorts and graphic tees that fit tightly. But after a deep cleaning of my closet and a few shopping sprees my closet has been revamped. I love clothes that have a mature look but in bright colors so they keep a youthful flare. Statement necklaces, leather bracelets and colored or patterned jeans are a must! My favorite store to shop at is a store that I work for called LUXE Wearhouse in Kildeer, Illinois. Everything I am wearing in my pictures besides my rain boots are from LUXE.
I could not be more excited about my internship as a Style Guru for CollegeFashionista! If you follow me on Pinterest you would know that finding outfit inspiration online is one of my favorite past times. CollegeFashionista is making it even more fun to find and share trends, styles and color combinations. Keep up this semester every Monday with my STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK feature. But, I can already tell you my most recent advice is bold lipstick.

Use of Non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) Financial Measures In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, the Company provides adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow, which are non-GAAP financial measures. Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain non-cash and other specified charges. Free cash flow is defined as cash flow from operating activities less capital expenditures. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to help investors understand its past financial performance and prospects for the future. However, the presentation of adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information provided in accordance with GAAP. Management believes the adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow financial measures assist in providing a more complete understanding of the Company's underlying operational results and trends, and management uses these measures along with the corresponding GAAP financial measures to manage the Company's business, to evaluate its performance compared to prior periods and the marketplace, and to establish operational goals. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial results discussed in this press release is contained in the attached exhibits.

GLENDALE — From fifth to first, the comeback story of the La Cañada Cardinals Babe Ruth baseball team was completed Saturday afternoon versus the Glendale-La Crescenta Trotta.
PHOTOS: Glendale-La Crescenta Trotta vs. La Cañada Cardinals in Babe Ruth baseball
The Cardinals rallied from an early deficit to score seven of the final eight runs and win the first-ever combo Glendale/La Cañada Babe Ruth Tournament championship game, 11-6, at Stengel Field.
"It's a great story for these kids," Cardinals Coach Ken Kiessling said. "We didn't do that well this season, but that's because we were never a whole team.
"We were missing players who had other commitments and only played with a full team once. It's nice to put this together."
The Cardinals entered the five-team, double-elimination tournament as the fifth seed, but ended with a 4-0 mark.
La Cañada led, 8-6, after four innings and put itself in a comfortable position thanks to a two-run fifth inning.
Cardinals pitcher Conor McGrory (two for five with a double and three runs) led off the fifth with a double to left and scored when the next batter, Greg Pan, singled him in to give La Cañada a 9-6 advantage.
Pan (two runs) then scored two batters later on consecutive infield errors on a ball initially hit by Jared Linsel (three RBI), which bumped the visitor's advantage to four runs.
The offense was enough for McGrory, who replaced starting pitcher John Paul Caire, in the third inning.
McGrory allowed one unearned run in three innings of relief, while allowing one hit and recording seven of nine outs via strikeouts.
McGrory turned the ball over to reliever Diego Avila, who entered in the sixth and tossed two scoreless innings to close out the game.
In between Avila's pitching, the Cardinals added a run when Caire (three for four with two runs and two stolen bases) singled with one out in the seventh, stole second base and then scored on a single from Gavin Campbell, who was named team MVP after the contest.
"I knew we'd do well even after we fell behind in the first," said Kiessling, a La Cañada resident. "This team is special, it was just a matter of getting everyone on the field."
La Cañada seemed to start out on the right foot when the Cardinals plated three runs in the first, two coming on a two-out single from Linsel that brought home Campbell and McGrory.
Yet, Glendale countered with a four-run first in jumping ahead, 4-3.
After an outfield error allowed lead-off batter Mason Van Kempen (two for four with three runs and two stolen bases) to reach, Trotta responded with four consecutive singles from Mike Harmon, Luke Hunter, Mike Hancock and Nicholas Masumoto, which accounted for three runs. Glendale's last run came on a groundout from Trent Lousararian.
La Cañada briefly tied the game at 4 in the top of the second on singles from Cam Melilo and Avila, only to watch Trotta again retake the lead, 5-4, in the bottom half of the inning on a double from Harmon (two for three with a double and two RBI) that scored Van Kempen.
La Cañada took the lead for good in the top of the third with four runs, two scoring via errors, one on a balk and a fourth run on a single from Harry Coleman as La Cañada jumped ahead, 8-5.
"We just made a few too many mistakes to win," Trotta skipper Ray Masumoto said. "I thought we really tried and we wanted to win, but it didn't happen. I'm still proud to have coached these boys. It was a lot of work, but worth it."
Trotta, which added a run in the fourth on a wild pitch, finished off a 2-2 tournament run as the No. 2 seed.
As for Trotta and the Cardinals, while the team season is over, a few players were selected from the squads, as well as from the tournament's three other teams – CV Tile, Red Sox and Crippen – to form the Babe Ruth 13-year-old All-Star Team coached by Juan Pablo Valdez.
The squad consists of CV Tile's James Baek, Darian Jenks, Tyler Lobianco and Jerry Navarro, Crippen's Hayden Byrnes, Nicholas Corsini, Xavier Dubon, Julius Orozco, Alex Rho and Nathan Silverstein, Trotta's Matt Gokey, Lousararian, Masumoto and Van Kempen and the Red Sox's Justin Knapp. The Cardinals, however, are a team that consists primarily of 14 year olds.
The 13-year-old team will compete in the state tournament to be hosted by La Crescenta Babe Ruth in mid-July, with an opportunity to advance to the regional tournament in Fowler.

Bangladesh wins praise for reforms
The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has praised Bangladesh's programme of economic reforms, and promised to continue its $330m-a-year (£212m) development programme.
The country's central bank, meanwhile, has launched a programme to persuade Bangladeshis living abroad to invest their hard currency earnings at home.
It hopes that new government bonds - issued in US dollars and taka - will attract enough money to bolster its much-depleted currency reserves.
Bangladesh is one of world's most densely populated and least developed countries, with more than 127m citizens.
Its economy is dominated by agriculture, and economic reforms have been hampered by corruption and political squabbling.
A 'hard job' well done
The government of Prime Minister Khaleda Zia, elected a year ago with a huge majority, is now trying to turn things around.
It plans to sell dozens of state-owned companies to save itself millions of dollars in subsidies.
And despite strong resistance it recently closed down the Adamjee Jute Mills with the loss of 25,000 jobs.
The factory, in the industrial town of Narayanganj near the capital Dhaka, was said to be the world's largest producer of jute, but rampant corruption and declining demand for jute products conspired to make the mills run at a loss for the past three decades.
ADB president Tadao Chino, who is currently visiting Bangladesh, singled out the closure of the Adamjee Jute Mills as a "hard job" well done.
Loans and grants
During the past years, the Adamjee mills cost the Bangladeshi government more than 10bn taka ($172.7m, £111m).
He said there was "an urgent need to improve good governance", and warned that "the establishment of an independent anti-corruption commission is critical and should be expedited as quickly as possible".
The ADB has supported Bangladesh for the past 20 years, and plans to give the country a combination of low-interest loans and technical assistance grants worth $1bn over the next three years.
Wanted: Hard cash
The economic reforms may ensure the goodwill of international donors, but the country's central bank is hoping to gain the support of the many Bangladeshis working abroad.
Bangladesh Bank plans to launch US dollar denominated three-year savings bonds, which will pay interest at a rate of 6.5% in the first year, 7% in the second and 7.5% in the final year. The drawback is that interest will be paid in the local currency.
For those who doubt the strength of the taka, investment bonds will be on offer, paying interest in dollar, albeit at a rate of one percentage point below the savings bonds.
Bangladesh's hard currency reserves are running low, with the remaining $1.72bn covering just under two-and-a-half months of imports.
The dollar shortage has resulted in a weaker taka. An official at private bank in Dhaka said: ""The taka has become weaker due to non-availability of greenback in the market."

Will Crisis Divide Asia From America
A Luncheon Presentation by SIMON TAY, Chairman, Singapore Institute of International Affairs
In the wake of the financial crisis, trends have emerged that point to an Asia increasingly forging its own path—without America. Yet it is arguably in both sides' interests to move towards a new relationship in the post-crisis world. The rise of Asia and the development of closer regional bonds should take place in tandem with continued US engagement. What are the long term trends that point to divisions between Asia and America? How did the financial crisis accelerate them? What recent events are emblematic of a widening chasm? Why must such a gap be avoided, and what policy directions and changes are necessary to avoid one?
Simon Tay is Chairman of the Singapore Institute of International Affairs, a non-governmental think tank, and an adviser on political and economic issues. He teaches international law and public policy at the National University of Singapore. Mr. Tay was a Bernard Schwartz Fellow at the Asia Society in New York, directing a Task Force report on US-Asia relations under the Obama administration. He has advised multinational corporations on regional business investments and on sustainability and environmental issues. The World Economic Forum in 2000 named him a 'global leader of tomorrow." An award-winning author, his latest book is Asia Alone: The Dangerous Post-Crisis Divide from America. He graduated from the National University of Singapore and Harvard University.

A Harper man has been charged with capital murder over the shooting deaths of his wife and granddaughter at their residence last Friday.
Joseph C. Knight, 67, is being held under $1 million bail at the Gillespie County Jail, according to Sheriff Buddy Mills, who identified the deceased as Karen Knight, 59, and Barbara Knight, 19.
Mills, in a press release, did not reveal any details about what might have precipitated the double homicide.
The victims were pronounced dead at the residence on Josephine Drive, where Knight surrendered. Justice of the Peace Louis Rech said a rifle believed to be the weapon used was recovered there.

And there it is! Houston we have an actual honest conversation sighting! Wow... :P I love Z's reassurance that he can't screw things up with her. Maybe even today huh? What I wouldn't give... great job! :)

Kentucky law (KRS 156.502 and KRS 158.838) only addresses the required provision of "health services" to students in the "school setting."
Federal law covers the health services requirement for school field trips that require out of state travel. A Kentucky nurse's provision or delegation to a school employee of health services to students on out-of-state, school-sponsored field trips will be governed by the other state boards of nursing. This will include all the states along the travel route as well as the final destination of the field trip.

The mother and stepfather accused of holding their three children as prisoners in their home are scheduled for arraignment in Pima County Superior Court on Friday.
Fernando and Sophia Richter face kidnapping and child abuse charges in connection with keeping her three daughters locked up in the bedrooms of their home.
Police reports say the girls, ages 12, 13 and 17, said they had been confined to their bedrooms for possibly two years.
Police discovered the suspected prison-like circumstances when the two younger girls escaped the home after their stepfather broke down part of the door to the bedroom they shared.
The girls then ran to a neighbor's house who called police.

Pork With Sweet Onion Marmellata
Recipe by Suzie-Q
Delicious way to serve pork chops - I saw this recipe prepared by Giada DeLaurentis and had to try it! The whole family raved about it! The onions do take some time to cook down, but it is definately worth the time and patience! Please give this recipe a try - you won't be sorry! Don't let the number of steps scare you; this recipe is very very easy!
Top Review by JustJanS
This is a really simple and delicious recipe that we LOVED thank you. I used pork fillet medallions rather than chops, and a couple of red onions as well as white in the marmellata. I had trouble getting my gas flame low enough, so had to watch the marmellata very carefully and add a tablespoon of water ever 15 minutes or so after the first 45 minutes. I made this for the two of us, but made the full recipe of marmellata as I think it will be good with meatloaf, on sandwiches or on a simple cheese and onion pizza.

Book Your Night Out
Some teen idols grow up and pretty much disappear, thrown out like one's Teen and Tiger Beat zines, never to be recycled, only briefly recalled on a VH-1 round-up show—if that.
Not Debbie Gibson. The onetime pop idol who wrote, sang and performed her own songs (take that, Tiffany!) has never really gone away. She's starred in various theater productions around the world — Beauty and the Beast on Broadway, Grease in London, as well as touring companies of Funny Girl and Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat — and appeared on TV shows like American Juniors and Skating With Celebrities. She's popped up on Deal Or No Deal, posed nude for Playboy and made a cameo in Katy Perry's "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)" video.
One reason Debbie endures? Perhaps it's because, unlike many artists who came to fame in the 80s, she refuses to denegrate the decade. Indeed, she outright embraces and endorses it—and her fans, new and old, love her for it. Last fall her supporters turned out in force to hear her sing her hits "Only in My Dreams" and "Shake Your Love" at the VIP reopening bash for NiteTables venue Culture Club, of which she's a partner.
And starting February 19, she vies for the title of Celebrity Apprentice on Donald Trump's hit NBC reality series—an offer she almost turned down! Read on to find out why in NiteTables' interview with the star:
NITETABLES: You're a partner in NYC's reopened Culture Club. How did you get involved?
DEBBIE GIBSON: Robert Watman, one of the owners, has been a friend for a long time and often booked me to perform there. I always felt more like a part of the family than just a hired artist and wanted to be involved on an ongoing and permanent basis! I thought NYC needed a place that was more about the music than flavor-of-the-moment hipster energy.
NT: It seems 80s music and culture are more popular than ever — even with people who weren't alive during the decade. Why do you think this is?
DG: The music rocked! It is melodic, timeless music, and that decade was carefree and spirited. We are in more difficult times now, and people want to escape.
NT: Speaking of which, did you see the Ferris Bueller-themed commercial for Super Bowl XLVI? Were you a Ferris fan? Do you have a favorite scene?
DG: I loved that movie, yes! I would say the scene where he rigged it so it seemed like he was sick in bed. Kids today could play hookie successfully if they studied that! Ha!
NT: Which other 80s flicks are among your all-time favorites and why?
DG: Anything John Hughes made, of course! Who did not relate to Molly Ringwald?!? I also loved Can't Buy Me Love.
NT: With a young Patrick Dempsey! Moving on: You donated some fun memorabilia to your booth at Culture Club, including one of your Bowler hats. If you could own any piece of 80s history, what would it be?
DG: Michael Jackson's glove! I own Liberace's all glass and mirrored piano, which is still surreal to me. My first live concert was Liberace at Westbury Music Fair. I was a peculiar little kid!
NT: At the reopening party for Culture Club, you sang several of your pop hits. Which remains your favorite and why? Do you ever listen to your old albums?
DG: I don't really listen to them often, but every now and then. I did recently hear "Silence Speaks a Thousand Words" from my Electric Youth album and thought, "Wow! When was I going through THAT angst?!?" Very serious for a teenager! I love hearing what little synth lines and percussion ad libs are there because I was always very detailed with the arrangements and production. My faves are probably "Lost in Your Eyes" and "Foolish Beat." Ballads stand the test of time.
NT: Culture Club is a huge draw for bachelorette parties — why do you think this is?
DG: Because girls just wanna have fun! But seriously, I would say that no guy is going to worry too much that their bride to be is out dancing to Debbie Gibson tunes. It is a safe fun place that brings everyone back to their youth!
NT: You'll soon be seen on Celebrity Apprentice. Did they come to you or do you request to be on the show? Tell us one thing we don't know about Donald Trump!
DG: They came to me, and I almost didn't do it. I was always one for doing my work, then going home. Having a camera on you all day is rather intense. Donald Trump came out to support me on my opening night in Les Miz on Broadway 20 years ago! He is a really nice guy and has always been a supporter of mine!

Back to the Lepine watches now - I've almost finished working on the other piece I have.
Below - the movement in parts and.. a parts movement of the same size:
Notice - these 19th Century European watches are not alike American or later Swiss made (or Chinese, Japanese, whatever...) watches most of you are used to.
Getting a twin movement does not necessarily mean you have the parts.
This blog post is about a certain watch, that my grandfather has worn ever since I can remember, and a long time before as well.
He sometimes told the tale how he bought it on his trip to Moscow...
Anyway - this was in 1970s and he must really like this watch, because ever since he got it, he would not wear other watches at all.
Funny - on every family picture, as the years passed by, there always is a golden Vostok on a steel bracelet.
Weird combination no doubt, but my
Not long ago I've visited the old castle ruins in Ogrodzieniec. It's not one hour by car from my place, so it's not very close, but not very far. There were times, when I used to go there with my parents quite often, but somehow we just stopped and for many years we forgot about this place.
The castle was erected in 15th Century as one of the so called 'Eagle's nests' - a line of castles protecting

Continuing the subject of Olivier Quartier from Le Locle - I just got in today's mail another watch made by this manufacture.
First - the movement in parts...
One can instantly recognize a Swiss bridge style movement.
I washed the parts and assembled the watch - here goes...
Today I'm going to show you a very old Longines watch.
Is there anyone there who has never heared of the name Longines?
I thought not... Everyone knows Longines. Even if he's not a watch enthusiast - he knows Longines.
Longines surely is among the most successful brands in the history of watchmaking.
Let us now go back in time. Like... 180 years or so...
The history of Longines begins in Saint-Imier in 1832, when Mr Agasizz establishes his watch manufacturing

- MICHAEL GLEESON: How are you liking free agency?
- FREE AGENCY: How it works
- Knights, Chaplin to Richmond
ST KILDA president Greg Westaway said tonight the Saints had no regrets about losing Brendon Goddard as they had offered him a ''lump'' of money to stay at the club.
But former St Kilda coach Grant Thomas hit out at the club last night for letting the star utility walk to Essendon as a free agent.
The lure of greater financial security and the prospect of playing in a premiership has swayed Goddard, a restricted free agent.
As the inaugural free agency period began in a frenzy, the Bombers and Goddard tabled a four-year offer, believed to be worth about $2.9 million, at AFL headquarters yesterday morning.
The Saints had 72 hours to decide whether to match the offer, but took just four hours to decide against it.
The Saints refused to budge on their three-year offer of about $1.9 million, saying it ''respected the club's player-payment model''.
The Bombers may have to clear salary cap space to secure Goddard and will now decide how many of their six free agents they retain. Dustin Fletcher is a certainty but Angus Monfries is likely to head to Port Adelaide on a four-year deal.
Ricky Dyson, David Hille, Henry Slattery and Nathan Lovett-Murray have yet to be re-signed. Lovett-Murray has been offered a one-year deal but wants two.
Scott Gumbleton, who is not a free agent, has been offered a one-year deal, but his future is also clouded.
The Saints have worked diligently in the past year to free up space under their salary cap, having been burdened in part in recent years by the bonus clauses in the contracts of several star players.
Westaway said the Saints had done their best to retain Goddard, who will be remembered for dominating the 2010 finals campaign.
''He is very much a required player, we wanted him to stay, but it's like anything, there is a value to something. We work out what the value is and why it is, and you put your best offer forward,'' he told The Age.
''We put our best offer forward. He has got a better one. We have a responsibility to spend according to our needs.
''It was a lump of money, we thought it was a good offer, and it was responsible … at the end of the day he had to make up his mind, and we had to make up ours.''
The AFL will determine what compensation the Saints will receive. It is expected to be a first-round selection. ''Let's hope it's a good one,'' Westaway said.
Thomas tweeted last night: ''Great clubs don't lose great people. On the surface it seems Saints were happy to release him. I'm somewhat perplexed.''
Westaway said he sensed Goddard was leaving when he failed to commit to a deal once the Saints had missed the finals. Goddard added to the speculation when he did not mention next season in his acceptance speech when he received life membership.
Goddard left on an overseas holiday yesterday.
His manager, Dan Richardson, said his client had agonised over a decision for weeks and made up his mind only over the weekend.
''Everyone, at times, goes through difficult career decisions. This has certainly been one for him,'' Richardson said.
''He made a decision for a host of reasons. We won't deny financial security is one of them. But, obviously, he feels it's the right thing to do for his footy.''
St Kilda's head of football Chris Pelchen said the decision not to match Essendon's offer came as the club put the team ahead of the individual.
''While we are disappointed at his decision to leave the Saints, we are absolutely committed to our 'team first' philosophy in relation to player contracts,'' he said.
For the Bombers, this is their biggest signing in a decade. Recently retired midfielder Mark McVeigh weighed in last night saying Goddard would help fill a void in Essendon's 26-28-year bracket.
Those close to Goddard, 27, maintain his preference was to remain with the Saints, but the club's refusal to add a fourth year meant the Bombers' offer was too great to ignore.
Essendon and St Kilda failed to make the finals this season, but it's felt the Bombers may be closer to a premiership than a Saints squad still heavily reliant on its veterans from the 2009 and 2010 campaigns that ended in grand final heartache.
Asked if this was a factor, Richardson said: ''Every player ideally wants to play in finals and have success. As we know, there is never any guarantee with that, but it would be fair to say that maybe it's a bit stronger [chance to play in finals] with Essendon. But everyone will debate that, there is always two sides to that.''
Westaway didn't take umbrage with that thinking. ''Football is an opinion business and everyone has their opinion,'' he said.
Richardson said the dual All-Australian, who finished fourth in the Saints' best and fairest this season, had not had a falling-out with coach Scott Watters or the club.
''There was certainly no falling-out with anyone or with the St Kilda footy club. It's more about the opportunity he has elected to pursue,'' he said.
Goddard, who was taken with the first pick of the 2002 national draft, played 205 matches for the Saints.

Does the world need another women's clothing store? If it's Rose and Sage, the answer is an enthusiastic "yes"!
The store is the brainchild of Soraya Ardakani, who has lived and breathed fashion for most of her life. "I wanted to bring another clothing store to the area," she says. "I'm passionate about fashion so I created a women's fashion and lifestyle boutique. I want to dress the women of Toluca Lake."
Rose and Sage carries a range of contemporary fashions and accessories with a style and price range that appeals to everyone. Ardakani hand-picked everything to appeal to all ages, especially more sophisticated ages and sizes from small to large.
The clothes bear the name brands that include J.Brands, Genectic Denim, Ark and Company, and Beulah Style and are very affordable: a high-end look at reasonable prices.
At her Grand Opening Bash, Ardakani, looking like a living advertisement for her fashions, served a delicious buffet complete with champagne and fabulous desserts.
"I want the store to have the look of old Hollywood glam," she says, "Very girlie. I want to make shopping fun."
The Hollywood glam look was evident in her mirrored furniture and playful pink accents. In addition to dresses, tops, and pants, Ardakani carried beautiful evening dresses, purses and bags, and jewelry.
Ardakani already has plans for Rose and Sage that include fashion shows every other month, offering personal styling and Mommy and Me parties. Currently, every Friday she chooses a color of the day and slashes corresponding items by 15 percent.
As her guests enjoyed her buffet and browsed through the clothing, Ardankani was definitely a gracious and knowledgeable hostess as well as a fashionista to watch. "I love, love, love, love fashion!"
Rose and Sage is located at 10143 Riverside Dr. in Toluca Lake. Hours are Monday thru Thursday 11a—6p, Friday and Saturday 11a—7p, and 11a—5p Sunday. For more information call (818) 509-7886.

The Five Worst Movies To Watch Together On Father's Day (Or Any Other Family Holiday)
Celebrating holidays with a family movie night is a great American tradition. There's basically no better way to spend time with family than to sit in a room, not talking or even looking at them. It really takes the pressure off. Yet, pick the wrong flick, and you may open a can of worms. If you're contemplating movies to watch with the clan for Father's Day (or any other future family holiday), you should be sure to blacklist the following…
- "Juno": On your own, watching cute Ellen Page in this story of good morals makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside. With your dad in the room, he'll likely be thinking, God, I hope Sally has never had an abortion, while you'll become obsessed with thinking, Is he wondering whether I've ever had an abortion? If mom's around, this can potentially turn into another safe sex talk or, depending on how old you are, a "when are we going to become grandparents?" talk. Both horribly awkward discussions when there's an abortion clinic on the TV.
- "Father of the Bride, Parts I and II": In Part I, Steve Martin goes insane when he realizes his daughter's wedding will cost about 100 grand, while in Part II, his wife and daughter are preggers at the same time. This movie should probably come with a warning that it may cause premature heart attacks in men over 50. Just do dad a favor and go to Vegas, elope, and spare him from the nightmare of dealing with weddings, because he probably won't want to go through the ordeal after watching Steve Martin do it.
- "Serial Mom": In 1994, Kathleen Turner played this picture perfect housewife who also happened to become a serial killer, murdering anyone who offends her family. Not the greatest way to tell mom you love her and appreciate what she does for your family. Also, there's a super awkies masturbation scene.
- "Cheaper by the Dozen": Basically, stay away from Steve Martin movies. In this 2003 flick, Martin plays dad to 12 children. This is guaranteed to bring up talks or memories about how difficult you were as a kid, which will likely have you speed dialing your shrink from the next room within the hour.
- "Go!": Many have forgotten about Katie Holmes's 1994 flick, which sometimes deceptively ends up in the "Holiday Favorites" section of Blockbuster because it takes place during Christmas. Don't let that fool you—the entire film is about twentysomethings trying to get a drug deal done. Dad will no doubt huff and puff ("Kids these days!"), while also secretly wondering if all those times he bailed you out from your overdrawn bank account weren't because you were blowing cash on Ecstasy at raves.

A first date is an interesting social phenomenon for any student of the human psychology. A relatively new development in the grand scale of things, the first date can be best summed up as a two-way affair that is at once audition and interview. And like most thing social it relies on our ability to communicate fast, well and easy enough to keep our interlocutors attention. So what does one talk about on a first date?
Be Yourself
Before discussing what to talk about its important to discuss just how youre supposed to talk. Though it might sound like a cliché, the most important thing is to just be you. After, all youre meeting or getting to know somebody new, so there really is no pressure and no expectations apart from the bare minimum of decency. Being too nervous denotes insecurity and this is one of the main things that you do not want to appear to be on a date.
Its important to remind people to act naturally especially as there is an opposing school of thought, the so-called pick-up artists that usually suggest the exact opposite, going out of your way to seem cocky, annoying and put your partner off balance so that they are intrigued by you. This is rarely successful and irritating to somebody expecting a pleasant date. The Art of Charm dating tips section has quite a few things to say about pick-up artistry and is well worth the read.
Be Interested and Interesting
Small talk is often called and art or a gift but it is really much less esoteric. Small talk is just regular conversation that doesnt touch upon any controversial or sensitive subjects and, in the case of a first date allows you to discover more about your date partner.
As its your first date together you probably dont really know that much about your partner. Ask your date partner questions that are of genuine interest to you and prove that youre a good listener as well. Try to tackle broad subjects that shes definitely going to have strong opinions about like her job and how she likes it, her family, what movies she likes, what kind of music she likes and so on. Taklking about hobbies can also be a good conversation starter especially if you can find something that youre mutually interested in. Another good idea is to probe her opinions of popular but controversial topics like reality television. Who knows, perhaps you can bond over a mutual dislike of Honey Boo Boo.
Small talk is easy because it simply equates to a healthy interest in the person sitting opposite you. If youre generally talkative but find it difficult to make small talk with a person perhaps you should take it as a sign that you really dont have that much in common. On the other hand if you cant stop talking to someone even about hte most trite things, odds are youve stumbled upon a winner here.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
A nurse said that she gave a person medication to end a persons life. If a whitness comes forward now would that extend the statute of limitations to sue now ?
Fraud can extend the statute of limitations, which would normally max out at 3 years in California.Ask a similar question
This question has many layers, and you do not provide enough information to give a specific answer.
There is no statute of limitations on the State prosecution of first-degree intentional homicide. Assisted suicide, on the other hand, is probably subject to the normal six year felony statute of limitations.
If there is a credible witness with evidence that a serious crime has been committed, why is that person not going to the police? If there is an answer to that question that does not impact negatively on the credibility of that witness, then the answer to your question is dependent on the details, and turns on when the cause of action accrued.
In Wisconsin, the statute of limitations on wrongful death is three years from accrual [s. 895.54(2)]. The question then becomes when did the cause of action accrue, which can only be answered by comparing the specifics of this case to the case law on accrual.
However, if this is viewed as a medical malpractice case, the statute of limitations is three years or within one year from the date the injury was or should have been discovered, whichever is later.
You should consult with a personal injury law firm that is capable of analyzing the potential case from both wrongful death and medical malpractice perspectives, depending upon the facts.
This answer is provided for general information only. No legal advice can be given without a consult as to the specifics of the case.Ask a similar question
