text: Even in a city that doesn't sleep, West 27th Street in Chelsea has long had a reputation for staying up late. That rep came courtesy of a bunch of clubs that, for a decade, set the pace for late-night revelry in a neighborhood that was, for years, Manhattan's club capital. Of course, no party lasts forever, and with those clubs closed -- and with Manhattan's club scene now doing its things behind the velvet ropes of the Lower East Side -- West Chelsea's former club capital has become something more upscale, a lot less messy and generally much more... residential. In the Wall Street Journal, Laura Kusisto notes that the stretch of West 27th Street between 10th and 11th Avenue, formerly the site of several notably noisy nightspots, has recently been home to a different kind of boom -- this time, as the home to some new luxury condominium development. With promising new Chelsea condominiums as 200 Eleventh Avenue, 245 Tenth and 133 West 22nd leading the way -- and with the newly opened second leg of The High Line giving the neighborhood some high-gloss glamour (and some high-end green space) -- it looks like the party may not be over in West Chelsea just yet.

Today I opted for simplicity. Starting with these T by Alexander Wang track pants I dressed them down with a basic tee yet polished the whole look off with a touch of print. Leopard generally goes with almost everything and these stilettos from Dune prevent the look from being overly casual.

Day of Giving offers big boost to nonprofits
More than $680,000 poured into the coffers of Westmoreland County nonprofits — including colleges, libraries and human service organizations — during the Day of Giving on Oct. 3.
The 24-hour online giving event, sponsored in this county by the Community Foundation of Westmoreland County and in Allegheny County by The Pittsburgh Foundation, raised $8.5 million, an increase of more than 31 percent from 2011, according to figures released this week.
"We were thrilled just to really, really eclipse where we were last year," said Susan Acito, associate program officer with the Community Foundation of Westmoreland County. "It was just a sure sign that people understand the value that nonprofits bring to Westmoreland County and to this region."
All of the 665 nonprofits that registered for the event received donations during the event, which offered nonprofits a pro-rated match for every dollar received.
Public donations in Westmoreland County totaled $597,212, with matching funds of $85,000, bringing the total to $682,212.
In Allegheny County, donations and the match totaled $7,858,133.
Last year's Day of Giving generated $435,000 in donations and $100,000 in matching funds in Westmoreland.
This year, Ligonier Camp and Conference Center, which offers summer camps and retreat facilities, led Westmoreland in funds received with $44,180 in public donations and a $6,185 match.
It was the second year in a row the Camp and Conference Center came in on top. Last year, it received more than $37,000.
Patrick Myers, executive director of the Camp and Conference Center, said the organization uses the Day of Giving as a kickoff for its year-end campaign. The center relies on donations for about 20 percent of its annual budget to keep the cost of summer camp affordable for the average family, Myers said.
Center staff reached out to families of its campers to ask for donations on the Day of Giving. Past campers from decades ago have proven to be generous.
"You do everything that you can do but you never know for sure what the response is going to be, so it was pretty exciting to see," Myers said. Nonprofits received 17,719 individual donations, up from 13,643 in 2011.
The Westmoreland County Food Bank received 235 individual donations — the most in the county. With $24,101 received, plus a $3,374 match, the food bank was also among the top 10 in funds received.
It's the most the food bank has received through the Day of Giving.
"We really can use it right now," said Louise Wilhelm, volunteer and food drive coordinator. "We want to maintain giving as much as we can here, and it's going to come in real handy for that."
Acito said the Community Foundation's goal is to raise $1 million for Westmoreland nonprofits on the Day of Giving.
"I think that would make a great statement for this community.," Acito said.

Paris - France's former first lady Valerie Trierweiler has revealed she may write a book about her split with the president and said she is "more disappointed than angry" about the scandal.
In an interview with Parisien Magazine to be published on Friday, Trierweiler described her visit to India this week as a "return to freedom, far from the political world and its betrayals".
President Francois Hollande has faced criticism over the curt manner in which he announced at the weekend that he had split from Trierweiler after his affair with an actress, in a brief statement to AFP.
The former first lady said she was "more disappointed than angry" about the break-up.
But she added, "I do not rule out writing a book", and observed dryly that her former partner's statement announcing the split amounted to "18 words, nearly one for each month together since his election".
She said she had replied to text messages from Hollande while in India.
"He was worried about the organisation of the trip and about my health," Trierweiler said.
Trierweiler gave the interview during a two-day visit to India on behalf of a French charity that saw her visit a slum and witness a feeding programme for malnourished children.
In it, she said she was "keen to return to a normal life as quickly as possible because I do not want to be part of the celebrity set, and I will not be part of it".
The 48-year-old, who is still employed as an arts writer by the French magazine Paris Match, said she planned to continue charity work rather than returning to her previous role as a political journalist.
The prospect of covering Hollande would be "too complicated", she admitted at the end of the trip.

The average business will devote 125 hours to GST/VAT/indirect tax compliance, with this number going up significantly the more complex the business.
According to the United States Census Bureau, general sales tax revenue rose 5.2 percent in the first quarter of 2013 to $76.1 billion, from $72.4 billion in the first quarter of 2012. The Census Bureau has yet to release the Q2 2013 numbers, but based on the most recent Thomson Reuters quarterly ONESOURCE Indirect Tax rate report, sales tax revenue is onthe rise with the average state sales tax at 5.603 percent, up slightly from 5.48 percent in Q1 2012.
As evident by the numbers, government continues to heavily rely on sales tax as a critical source of revenue, which is ranked as the second largest category of state tax revenue. While the government appears to be taking a conservative approach in terms of how quickly they are raising sales tax rates, the sheer number of tax law changes remains on the rise. As an example, in the U.S., businesses had to comply with over 580 indirect tax rate changes in 2012; outside of the U.S. there were over 2,000 tax rate and product taxability changes. This year is on track to be equally taxing, with over 586 U.S. and global indirect tax changes for Q1-Q2 2013 alone.
With such a dynamic landscape, it's not surprising that, according to PricewaterhouseCoopers, the averagebusiness will devote 125 hours to GST/VAT/indirect tax compliance, with this number going up significantly the more complex the business.
Beyond the number of tax changes, complexity is another hurdle that business must face as the calculation and determination of taxes is not as simple as it might sound. Each transaction has unique characteristics that affect and change the specific tax rates applied depending on who, what, where, when, why and how the exchange was made. A business can face multiple, overlapping tax-collecting jurisdictions — countries, states, counties and cities — and tangled rules in the various tax authorities based on the type of business, location, nexus, or where the products and services will ultimately be used. Even for a small company, this can equate to countless hours updating tax rates tables, calculating tax, filing returns, reporting and auditing.
During a recession when tax rates are down or during an upswing economy when rates are on the rise, for businesses the operational hassles of indirect tax compliance remains the same. The bottom line is that compliance with indirect tax is a huge business burden and all indications are that this trend will continue.

Thats not a gnome-settings-daemon problem per se. gnome-settings-daemon being present or absent causes GTK+ applications to use different input methods, most likely. You can go to System -> Preferences -> Personal -> Input Method and configure the input method that is used while gnome-settings-daemon is running. -- Fedora-desktop-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-desktop-list

I don't think there's anything wrong with making resolutions; in fact, I make them year-round. Keeping them is much more difficult for me than making them, though, but I like the idea of following through and seeing them be made complete. Here are a few that I've been thinking about for a while. The fresh start of a new year is the perfect time to begin!
Be more confident
Emilee, why do you walk around like you have a reason to be ashamed of yourself? You don't have to apologize for not wearing makeup or having a few acne scars. You don't have to keep fighting against your weight or trying to reshape your body. God made you perfectly, remember? If you're good enough for him, you're good enough for yourself.
Be friendlier
A lifelong fear of being awkward or saying the wrong thing has kept you at a distance from most people, and it sure hasn't earned you many friends. But you often encounter people who rarely get any human interaction, so why not take the opportunity to brighten their day a little? After all, a little small talk and a smile will break the awkwardness of any quiet waiting room or restroom line.
Improve my driving skills
Ok, so you're not the best driver. You're a little aggressive, and you have a heavy foot, and sometimes you don't see stop signs…so slow down and start paying attention, Emilee! Your driver's ed teacher would be ashamed.
Be a better neighbor
There are 30+ dogs in your neighborhood. It does absolutely no good to yell at them and chase them off, because they will inevitably come back and dig up your flower garden again. And then your offended neighbors won't even try to stop them. Maybe invest in a fence.
Stop procrastinating
You somehow managed to pass three classes this semester by cramming in the last three hours before the tests. But the stress wasn't worth it, now was it? You know what mom always says…"Why do it later when you can do it now?"
Get creative
Use that new journal you got for Christmas and write every day. Finish up that portrait you've been working on since two summers ago. Start painting again—get into the habit and maybe you'll be able to open your own Etsy store. That would be sweet!
Kick my sugar addiction
It's NOT acceptable to eat Christmas cookies for every meal, Emilee. They're getting stale. Throw them out.
Gain some willpower
If you can give up the sugar, you are definitely ready for other challenges. Think of all the things you could accomplish: giving up aimless internet surfing, getting off the couch instead of watching hours of Netflix movies, training for that half-marathon this summer…I know you have it in you!
See myself how God sees me
You know the truth, but you've been avoiding it: you have to get into your Bible to know who you are in Christ. His truths are what you need, not self-help books or talk shows or internet campaigns. These are great and encouraging and all, but without God's word, you're missing something. You will never be able to fill that hole in your identity without him.
Seek God everyday
Speaking of which, your faith has gotten a little stale, and the fire isn't going to be reignited by happenstance. You know you need to read your Bible and pray every day, so get back in the habit. Don't keep ignoring God, don't keep pushing him away, and don't allow yourself to drift any farther than you already have. This is important, so if you don't accomplish any of the rest of these resolutions, at least check this one off.
Emilee Hackney is a recent high school graduate living in the
mountains in Tazewell, VA. She is attending a local college
this fall where she hopes to discover God's plan for her career. She
loves her grandma's house, her boyfriend of three and a half years,
and anything with an unhealthy amount of sugar.

TWO people had to be rescued from their home on Wednesday after properties finally succumbed to the floods which have been causing problems across the area for the past week.
Firefighters from the Water Rescue Unit in Beaconsfield were called to a house in Ferry Lane, Medmenham after it had become completely cut off by flood water.
A man and a woman had to be taken to safety in a rescue boat operated by crews in dry suits.
The house was totally surrounded by water after persistent rain over the Christmas and New Year period brought river levels to their highest point in a decade.
Low-lying houses in Bisham have also been affected as the River Thames burst its banks in several locations around Marlow.
Wycombe Dsitrict Council began dropping sandbags around Marlow this week to help residents repel the rising deluge.
See today's Marlow Free Press for more on this week's floods.

HUNDREDS of people gathered to celebrate the achievements of women in business at the NatWest Venus Awards Dorset.
Fifteen prizes were handed out to the women who have achieved, excelled or inspired other people in business and the workplace.
The Daily Echo Business Mother of the Year award went to Sarah Milligan, service delivery manager of Innovate Ltd, based at Acorn Business Park in Poole.
Sarah has received three promotions during her three years at Innovate, with 75 per cent of the company now reporting to her.
She is the only woman in the company and is an ambassador for STEMnet, the organisation which works to inspire young people in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. She also follows Lady Geek, an agency which makes technology more appealing and accessible to women.
She was nominated for the award by a former marketing intern, Charlie Knight, and by her 11-year-old son Joshua, who said she deserved it for her hard work for him and sister Ellie-May.
Receiving her award at the Concert Hall in Poole's Lighthouse, she thanked her colleagues at Innovate and her family, and congratulated Joshua on winning a place at Bournemouth School. Sarah was among three impressive finalists in the Echo-backed award.
Anna-Lee Kewley, who started the online babies' and children's wear business Baby Moo's, missed out on the Business Mother award but came away with the New Media and Online Business Award. She set up Baby Moo's with £230 she raised by selling possessions on eBay and has seen it grow rapidly.
Also pipped at the post in the public vote was Kelly Elsworthy, author and publisher of The Adventures of the Cuddle Pirate. She turned the stories she used to tell her son Jack into two books promoting healthy eating, as well as an app, with plans for a cuddly toy.
The Venus Awards were organised by Bournemouth's Tara Howard, who urged finalists to celebrate their achievements.
"Previous winners and finalists have gone on to great heights. Tonight is a celebration of what you've achieved and yet to achieve," she said.

If you move to another state, the insurance company made be required to porivde medical care in the state where you have moved. It really depends on what state you are receiving workers compensation benefits. Nate Hansford 770-922-3660Ask a similar question
A person with a Georgia workers' compensation case can receive treatment in a different state for the workers' compensation injuries. The biggest problem that I have seen is that it can be difficult to find an attorney in another state who is willing to be paid in accordance with the Georgia Workers' Compensation Fee schedule. That is the schedule that determines how much medical providers are paid for providing medical services. This can be particularly true in areas such as dentistry, in which the medical providers do not generally deal with workers' compensation. In my experience, you have the right to receive treatment in a different state, but you may have trouble finding a dentist to treat you. Good luck.Ask a similar question

Los Angeles - The third film in the upcoming The Hobbit movie trilogy will be released worldwide in July 2014, the movie studios behind the venture said on Friday, and the second film now has a new name.
The third film - The Hobbit: There and Back Again - will open in movie theatres on 18 July 2014 - just seven months after the newly titled second film The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug arrives on 13 December 2013.
The second film originally carried the There and Back Again title.
The first film, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey starring British actor Martin Freeman as Bilbo Baggins, has already been set for a 14 December 2012 opening.
Summer release
Director Peter Jackson, Warner Bros and New Line Cinema, and MGM announced in July that the 3D-film adaptation of the classic novel by JRR Tolkien would be split into three films rather than the two originally envisaged.
Warner Bros executives said they believed the third movie would play well in the summer - the most lucrative period for the movie industry and the launch pad for action-packed blockbusters.
"We wanted to have a shorter gap between the second and third films of The Hobbit trilogy. Opening in July affords us not only the perfect summer tentpole, but fans will have less time to wait for the finale of this epic adventure," Dan Fellman, president of domestic distribution at Warner Bros said in a statement.
The Hobbit is the prequel to Tolkien's epic fantasy The Lord of the Rings which Jackson made into three Oscar-winning films about 10 years ago.

JERUSALEM (Jun. 18)
Two Israeli youths from a home for troubled children near Hebron have been detained on suspicion of killing a Palestinian on a West Bank road.
According to the police, the two youths stuck a wooden plank out the window of their van, hitting a Palestinian farmer, Abdel Majid Abu Turki, 47, as they drove past him.
"We understand that this could have been some kind of prank, which ended tragically," said the director of Beit Haggai, the school for troubled youth attended by the two suspects. "Abu Turki worked here, he was our neighbor. As soon as we learned of the incident, we went with the youths to the police to report what happened. Here at Beit Haggai we fully condemn this incident."
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called the crime "horrific," telling reporters that "justice would be done."
The names of the two youths were not released because they are minors. Police said a third suspect, the driver of the vehicle, was released after it was concluded that he was not involved in the incident.
"I believe this was an accident, and not any sort of premeditated murder," Naftali Wurtzburger, the lawyer for the two youths, told reporters at the courthouse Wednesday.
Palestinians denounced the crime as a further example of Jewish settler incitement against Arabs.
"This was no prank," said Ahmed Tibi, an Israeli Arab adviser to Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat. "This was murder, directly specifically against Arabs. Abu Turki was singled out because of his Arab beard, his Arab clothing, his whole appearance as an Arab."
Aharon Domb, spokesman for the council of Jewish settlements in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, said the perpetrators of the crime "must be punished to the full extent of the law."

TIJUANA.- Only in Tijuana can we find a place that is half Tattoo parlor and home to one of the best artist in the business, and half Hawaiian themed bar with a Tiki Room look right out of a Tarantino fantasy. "Tahiti Felix's Tiki Lounge & Tattoo Parlor" is one of the most original concepts to open its doors in the midst of downtown Tijuana's current renaissance.
It was only six or seven months ago that "Tahiti Felix's Tiki Lounge & Tattoo Parlor" opened its doors on this side of the border as the latest efforts of Pablo "Chino" Rodríguez and his business partner Gil Taimana, but, "Tahiti Felix"'s history began more than 50 years ago, in 1949 to be exact, when the Tahitian tattoo artist Felix Lynch opened his store in San Diego, which today is the oldest tattoo business in the city. Wanting to take things further, Gil and Chino brought the concept to Tijuana, famous for its innovative ways in business nightlife, the result is a bar unique to the world, where the idea of a traditional tattoo bar was fused with a Hawaiian bar.[p]
With a 100 percent authentic environment, the level of detail that went into "Tahiti Felix's Tiki Lounge & Tattoo Parlor" really transports us to another time and place. And the best thing about it all is that you can't decide what the best part is: the work of Chino Rodríguez as a tattoo artist, who has done work throughout the world, from his native Buenos Aires, Argentina, to even the most remote corners of the U.S., or the large variety of inspired drinks in its Tiki Bar, that range from the classic Mai Tai to other extravagant ones like the "Castaway", with a unique touch from "Tahiti Felix's Tiki Lounge & Tattoo Parlor" or the delicious "Blue Hawaiian", a favorite of customers.
And if what you are looking for is just a simple beer, don't worry. Even though they currently only serve commercial beer (not that craft-beer we've been talking about here a lot), their prices are extremely low compared to other bars in the are, at just below $2 dollars a bottle, which sounds like a reasonable price. Another plus is that it is the only bar in the city with the famous "Sailor Jerry Spiced Rum", which couldn't be more perfect for a bar like this.
"Tahiti Felix's Tiki Lounge & Tattoo Parlor" has also set out to host legendary bands from the alternative rock scene. Only a couple of weeks ago did the "Los Crudos" band play here, being the only time in recent years that they've played in Mexico, and soon, "Luicidal" will play too, with members of another legendary band, "Suicidal Tendencies". It's important for there to exist places that promote local bands that otherwise wouldn't have a lot of options for exposure.
Parking isn't a problem, since "Tahiti Felix's Tiki Lounge & Tattoo Parlor" has its own, besides also being besides a hotel that also belongs to them, which can be very beneficial for anyone looking to party all night long or had too much to drink. Everybody is bilingual at the bar, without mentioning also the excellent service they have. It was years since I felt like being at home at a bar like I did while being here.
So, there you go, if you are looking for a unique concept, "Tahiti Felix's Tiki Lounge & Tattoo Parlor" is one of the best options Tijuana has to offer. Learn more at its Facebook page or at its official site.
You can find "Tahiti Felix's Tiki Lounge & Tattoo Parlor" located at Galeana 7ma # 8379 almost corner with Negrete, Zona Centro, Tijuana, and open Monday through Wednesday from 12:00 pm to 11:45 am and Thursday through Saturday from 12:00 pm to 2:00 am.Click here for a map! .

News & Trends: Love her or hate her, theres no disputing that 2009 belonged Lady Gaga. With a theatrical persona inspired by the likes of Madonna, Prince and Freddie Mercury, the name Gagataken from a song by the latters band, Queenhas acquired a meaning all its own, simultaneously evoking catchy pop music and avant-garde fashion (as well as a growing army of imitative fans). But Lady Gagas forward-pushing fad is not a fleeting one. Thanks to two back-to-back albumsthe first aimed at the fans, the second aimed at the criticsshe has shown that her music and revolutionary style are here to stay into the new decade and beyond.
Backed by designers like Alexander McQueen, Romain Kremer and Gareth Pugh, Lady Gaga (aka Stefani Germanotta) has helped lead a fashion transformation among todays female artists. Everyone from Beyoncé to Rihanna has now recognized the marketing value of outlandish designer outfits, but they are all still dressing in Gagas shadow. Music and fashion have always gone hand in hand, but the classic creative pairing is now joined by a necessary business senseeven Forbes proclaimed that Lady Gaga is the music industrys new business model.
The lead single from her latest album The Fame Monster, Bad Romance, is a case in point. When the songs video debuted as the soundtrack to Alexander McQueens spring/summer 10 collection, her fans flooded and subsequently crashed the ShowStudio site due to the surge in interest. Meanwhile, The Business of Fashion reported at the end of 2009 that her videos had been watched more than 500 million times on YouTube (with 50 million Bad Romance views within the first month alone and now at just over 93 million) and those numbers have continued to rapidly rise into the new year.
Much of Lady Gagas style can be credited to the people she works with. It certainly doesnt hurt, for instance, that her stylist, Dazed & Confuseds creative director Nicola Formichetti, is on a first name basis with underground designers throughout the world. Thanks to him, Lady Gagas wardrobe is full of head pieces by milliners Nasir Mazhar and Alex Noble, clothes by emerging artists like Benjamin Cho and outfits by more established masters such as Jean Paul Gaultier and Donatella Versace. Even with this stylistic headstart, its Lady Gagas unstoppable attitude that makes these clothes and outlandish outfits really stand out. But with a rabid following of copycat dressers who routinely appear at her concerts, its no wonder that the next thing on the busy artists agenda is her very own fashion line, Haus of Gaga, as well as an impressive gig as Polaroids new creative director. This is only the beginning.

once upon a tide
April 8, 2009
Once Upon a Tide by Tony Mitton, Illustrated by Selina Young
Beach books are a favorite of ours. Juliet really gets into the crabs, starfish, and seagulls and enjoys pointing them out every time we turn the page. In this book, two girls have an adventure on the beach in which they build a boat, sail away, land on an island, dig up buried treasure, get chased by pirates, sail home, and then live on the shore forevermore. Juliet's favorite part is a big whale that chases the pirates away.

Hinduism Today, run by the Saiva Siddhantha Church of Kauai Aadheenam, founded by Sri Sivaya Subramuniyaswami, has conferred the Hindu of the Year Award collectively on the creators of divine edifices. "It is a proud moment for the entire Viswakarma community," exults Selvanathan Sthapati, nephew of the illustrious Ganapati Sthapati, himself a descendant of Perunthachan to whom Raja Raja Chola entrusted the construction of the Big Temple."Right from the junior draughtsman to the senior sculptor the award includes everyone," adds Selvanathan. "I think of all those sthapatis, whose monuments in stone dot the length and breadth of the country, especially the South. Seniors such as Muthiah Sthapati, Kuberan Sthapati of Swamimalai and his brother Karunanithi have expressed their joy about the recognition, first of its kind.An excerpt from the article, 'Our Temple Builders: Hindu of the Year 2012:'"A few years ago, the U.S. immigration service suddenly stopped issuing the Religious Worker visa for carvers and plaster sculptors. Reason? 'They are just construction workers.' After several months of correspondence with other Hindu organisations and the help of high-priced lawyers and the office of Senator Kennedy, that decision was reversed. We made a convincing case to the American Government, based on scripture, history... that their work was no ordinary job but a religious calling, just as it is for the sthapatis."Perhaps not all approach their work with this attitude, but it is shared by everyone whom we know. For that and for their central role in preserving and expanding Hindu culture in thousands of communities around the world, we honor our temple builders, north and south as our 'Hindu of the Year' for 2012."The journal pays tribute to the stupendous contribution made by the BAPS Swaminarayan organisation in the field of temple construction - more than 1077 in 41 years. But what clinched the award is the work going into the making of the Iraivan temple in the island of Kauai, Hawaii. Sthapati Selvanathan had to answer a questionnaire in this regard. "I didn't know it was for the award at that point of time," he says.Selvanathan Sthapati was 13 when he first met Sri Subramuniyaswami, who blessed him. The swamiji was visiting the Government College of Architecture and Sculpture in Mamallapuram of which Ganapati Sthapati was the principal.The next meeting took place, again in Chennai, after Selvanathan Sthapati had graduated. The Swamiji, referred to as Gurudeva, and Ganapati Sthapati were discussing the project the former had visualized. "One God, One Religion," was the concept and Sri Subramuniyaswami wanted to build a temple for that God, Iraivan.The temple was going to be unique and might take many years. Who would take over after the Sthapati's time? Ganapati Sthapati named his nephew as his successor, who would continue the project. Selvanathan Sthapati makes periodic visits to Kauai to oversee the project. The aim is to complete work by 2017.In accordance with the vision of Sri Sivayasubramuniya Swami, Dr. Ganapati Sthapati designed the temple with a garbagriha, vimanam, mantapam, mahamantapam, Nandi Mantapam and Pancha prakaram. Sivaya Subramuniyaswamy wanted everything to be handcrafted in this temple of white granite, sourced from Bangaluru. His aim was to preserve Hindu Dharma and spread it around the world. He choose stone as the medium so that the temple would be strong and last long just as the Brihadiswara temple has.The principal deity is a massive crystal lingam set on a 10,000 pound panchaloha avudaiyar. The website www.gurudeva.org has details about Sri Subramuniyaswami, the Saiva Siddhanta Church and the Iraivan temple.

Fundamentals of corporate currency exposure
I model the relation between corporate currency exposure and fundamental variables like demand elasticities and operating cost structure. The currency location of a firm's operating costs may be in the home currency, the foreign currency, or partially in each. I start with a single-firm setting and extend the results to a competitive setting. The model should help managers better understand the determinants of currency exposure and thus better perform the important tasks of strategic planning and managing enterprise risk.

It was also a bit of poetic justice for Matt Moulson, who had an earlier goal waved off due to what the officials perceived as a kicking motion. So this Tavares kid is good huh?]]>
Prior to the start I was very curious to see how the NHL would have the stage set up, how the convention would be set up, how it would be hosted and so on and so forth. The stage, as the Daily News's Jesse Spector pointed out, was very reminiscent of the set up they had on Double Dare or similar to a game show setup. Two podiums set up on the left and right of the stage with the team names on front and the three captains standing behind it. My initial guess would have been that the stage would have looked more like the traditional entry draft stage.
When the picks were made the draftees were brought up and handed a jersey by two very attractive young women (as I declared on twitter the girl in the blue dress was the hotter of the two). Then they were subjected to an interview with James Duthie, who was the "host" of the night. The interviews were kept light, informational, and at times humorous. There were also the lighter moments when Duthie would go talk to players who hadn't been drafted. Example; the following interview with Marc Staal.
Holding the draft in the convention center and open for all the fans to come and enjoy was also a nice touch. The Carolina crowd did not disappoint either, they packed the house and really supported the home town guys that were there.
One of the complaints I did have was the draft commentary given by the panel of Bob McKenzie, Piere McGuire and Keith Jones was one thing I could have gone without. The commentators seemed to overanalyze the selections and teams. At some points comments almost seemed forced and seemed like they were trying to make a fun, light hearted event way more serious than it needed to be. If the fantasy draft continues next year this is one thing I would eliminate.
Overall the league managed to put on a good show for the fans and the players. While of course everything new has to be tweaked in one way or another the NHL put together something that was and can continue to be a success in the future.]]>
That was the only goal rookie net minder, Kevin Poulin, would surrender through the whole game. Poulin had one of his best performances stopping 30 of 31 shots he faced from the Crosby-less Penguins. Poulin, one of the main reasons the Isles only lost by one goal, was also forced to make several acrobatic saves through the course of the game.
So while Kevin Poulin was great for the Islanders, Marc-Andre Fleury was outstanding. Any scoring opportunity the Islanders got was put to an end by Fleury and the Islanders had several good chances including one from Blake Comeau , who was on the door step. Fleury stopped all 29 shots he faced from the Islanders.
Islanders will play the Hurricanes tonight at the Coliseum. Hope to have a pregame up some time today.
Thoughts on Nabokov Suspension
Garth Snow and the Islanders finally did what needed to be done yesterday, when they finally suspended Evgeni Nabokov. The 35 year old Russian goaltender was claimed off waivers on Saturday, but decided to not report because he felt "why bother"
The Isles GM spent the next four days giving him several chances to report to the Islanders, but blew them off as well forcing Snow to make the decision to suspend him, toll his contract or put him back on waivers.
Obviously he chose the first of the three options. Snow made the right decision in suspending Nabokov and showing him that when a team (the Islanders) claims you it is your obligation to report and not act like a spoiled three year old who hasn't gotten their way. Especially when your agent made a public statement that you would play for any team should you be claimed.
Now the Islanders have another decision ahead. Now that the Islanders organization has suspended Nabokov they now have to decide if they want to "toll" his contract. Tolling his contract essentially means that his contract would be "pushed back" until next year. Even simpler saying, he'd owe the Islanders an entire year of duty next season.
If I were Evgeni Nabokov id try and make up with the Islanders organization very quickly because at the present time they are the ones that hold the keys to Nabokov's future and whether or not he play in the NHL.]]>
Claimed off waivers Sunday, reports indicate that goaltender Evgeni Nabokov will not report to the Isles as he wants to play on a "winning team".
I contacted Nabokov's agent, Don Meehan. I asked him if his client would join the Islanders team, and he replied:
"He has decided not to report."
ESPN Pierre LeBrun reached Nabokov through the phone Sunday afternoon during the Islanders 5-3 loss to the Sabres, which caused even the Islanders MSG announcer to bring it up.
Nabokov stated that he has "decided to stay home" and that "there was no point in the Isles picking him up".
Later in the day, Katie Strang from Newsday spoke to owner Charles Wang. Wang said that apparently the goaltender hung up on the Isles GM Garth Snow the day he was claimed, but was confused on who called him. His agent, Don, reportedly said Nabokov would call Snow back, but never did.
Strang also reported that both Garth Snow and Evgeni Nabokov made plans to speak today. So far, everything is "status quo", according to Katie.
Things even got more interesting when Peter Botte tweeted that Alexi Yashin, whose contract was bought out from the Isles a few years ago, has been in contact with Nabokov trying to motivate his former Russian teammate to play for the team.
What the Islanders could do if the goalie doesn't report
The Islanders hold the cards in this one. Nabokov is now property of the Islanders as he's even listed on their roster.
1) They could either toll his contract, which means the goaltender can not play anywhere in the NHL but the Islanders until he finishes out his contract (one season). He would not become a free agent on July 1st.
2) They could also try to trade him, but he'd have to clear waivers first
3) They could suspend him, which seems likely if he doesn't report.
The Islanders GM Garth Snow has yet to state what he wants to do with Nabokov, but an action will certainly be taken if he doesn't report.--
Poulin, who gave up five goals to the Devils yesterday, is 1-1-1 and has a save percentage of .915%. However don't let the steady numbers allow you to think Poulin should still be on Long Island. In no way am I saying he is not a good goaltender, but he is still young and needs time to develop. Instead of having Poulin sit on the bench and back up Rick Dipietro the Islanders should have sent down Poulin and either had Lawson continue to back up DP or call up Mikko Koskinen to back him up. Thus allowing Poulin to get the majority of starts in Bridgeport and continue to develop and improve in an environment that would be less chaotic than the Nassau Coliseum.
-The rumor mill has been churning the last 24 hours implicating that Matt Moulson could be traded. For Islander fans that would be a tough pill to swallow if in fact the 30 goal scorer was delt to another team; early indications seem to be pointing to Boston.
Moulson has on several occasions said he wanted to remain an Islander, but he has left the negotiations to his agent to deal with. TSN's Bob McKenzi tweeted that both Snow and his agent had talked but no real negotiations had begun.
For the Islanders trading away their only 30 goal scorer and one of the most likeable guys on the team would be a huge mistake…….if they do not get an adequate return. If Garth Snow was to trade Moulson the only way he would be able to still hold any credence with the fan base would be if he got a very talented experienced player in return. If the Islanders take anything less (just draft picks) then the trade would be simply and utterly unacceptable and the fan base that has had to endure so much this season alone will call for Snow's head.]]>
The first period started off like many others for the Islanders, allowing their opponent to score in the early moments of the game. Vladimir Zharkov back handed one past a sprawled out Kevin Poulin to give the Devils the early advantage. Less than a minute after the goal Jack Hillen would go to the box for hooking setting up the Devils for a two minute power play. The Devils would take full advantage of the power play just 13 seconds into the power play. Ilya Kovalchuck blasted a shot from the left faceoff circle that beat Kevin Poulin stick side and gave the Devils the two goal advantage. Zenon Konopka and Matt Martin both dropped the gloves during the first period, but other than that the rest of the first was a lackluster and sloppy.
The Second period did start off well for the Islanders either. Six minutes in New Jersey's Mattias Tedenby undressed the Islanders defensemen and scored on an impressive play to give the Devils a three goal lead. Four minutes later the Islanders finally responded when Blake Comeau chipped the puck up the board, squeezed past a Devils defenseman and fed PA Parenteau in front of the net to bring the Isles within two. Less than a minute later Michael Grabner beat Brodeur to bring the Islanders back within one of the Devils.
However that would be the closest the Islanders would come to tying the game. At 16:59 of the second period Rod Pelley beat Kevin Poulin and a minute later Dainius Zubrus scored to put the Devils ahead 5-2.
Then with 1:29 left in the second period controversy ensued at Nassau Coliseum. As Michael Grabner drove to the net Mark Fayne shoved Grabner into Devil's goalie Martin Brodeur. Brodeur fell to the ice while play was still going and PA Parenteau put the puck into the back of the net to cut the Devils lead to two, or so they thought. While the play was originally ruled a goal a fuming Brodeur charged to the officials to make his case for goaltender interference and subsequently the officials gathered to rethink the call. Eventually the goal was overturned and the point was taken off the board. The Islanders' broadcast reported that trail Referee Bill McCreary was the official who spotted incidental contact on Grabner and overruled the referee closest to the play.
Several other calls were missed by the officiating crew including one or two high sticks that enraged Islanders fans, who were already fuming over the no goal call.
The Islanders could not regain momentum after the PA Parenteau goal was waived off. The Islanders fell to the Devils by the final score of 5-2.
-Kevin Poulin stopped 22 of 27 shots and had a save percentage of .815%. Brodeur stopped 27 of 29 shots and had a save percentage .931%.
-Islanders defensemen Milan Jurcina left the game in the first period with an upper body injury.
-Announced attendance was 13,119.]]>

LAMPS PLUS Blog Policies
Today I have the pleasure of introducing interior designer Kevin Corn. Kevin comes to the interior design industry with a unique and interesting background. He spent six years working for Ralph Lauren styling their Polo retail stores. When working with clients, Kevin provides a personal experience and tries to create the feeling of "home" in his designs.
LAMPS PLUS: What is the inspiration behind your designs?
KEVIN CORN: I love to inspire my clients to use their homes as "home." Comfort, family, and the ease of living in California are what inspires me. Also, of course the light here is fantastic.
LAMPS PLUS: What is your current color crush?
KEVIN CORN: Any color that is worn. Key words: driftwood, fumed, bleached, tumbled, and sanded!
LAMPS PLUS: Right now, I am obsessed with...
KEVIN CORN: Rose Tarlow Melrose House leathers and Paul Ferante lighting finishes...amazing colors and feels so good to touch!
LAMPS PLUS: What is your favorite item in your own home?
KEVIN CORN: Any and all of the photography that I've collected over the years...and my ice cream maker, of course.
LAMPS PLUS: How has working at Ralph Lauren prior to designing for clients influences your future designs?
KEVIN CORN: Working for Ralph Lauren was really like getting a graduate degree not only in good design, but in style and gracious living. Working on so many different "lifestyles" with Ralph Lauren taught me how to listen and interpret my clients ideals.
LAMPS PLUS: How do you incorporate inspirations from travels into your designs?
KEVIN CORN: I am a huge fan of Americana! I travel throughout the United States and am always amazed by the work of local artists and craftspeople. There are stories behind all they produce and it's the stories and memories that when put into design, create a home.
LAMPS PLUS: How do you approach designing the lighting scheme for a home?
KEVIN CORN: I LOVE good lighting, especially good reading light and often start by discussing with the client his/her needs for the bedroom, office, and living areas. How much entertaining do they plan on doing? I recently finished upgrading the lighting for a long time client. Years ago the living room was meant to be sexy and moody for cocktail parties. Now more recessed lighting, better and more efficient table lamps are needed for all of the kid's birthday parties. I think that lighting is an area where change can happen quickly and have a big impact.
LAMPS PLUS: What is your ideal client?
KEVIN CORN: All of my clients are different in personality, style, and how they like to live. They are all my ideal...just like the next new client will be.
LAMPS PLUS: What is the most common decorating mistake people make?
KEVIN CORN: Scale! If you plan on ordering from online or a catalog, keep a tape measure and a ruler handy. That painting on your laptop screen that looks so big, may actually be a postcard.
LAMPS PLUS: What are your favorite two bedroom chandeliers from Lamps Plus?
Antique Nickel Beehive Pendant: Depending on the room size, this is a fantastic light. While not a chandelier, it is still very soothing and sexy. I could even see two of the pendants on either side of the bed instead of table lamps.
Quoizel Shelby Sand Bisque 35" Wide Chandelier: I think this is a great looking chandelier and would work with many styles from formal to casual. Adding shades could make it very romantic for any bedroom.

The New York Mets' biggest weakness is their outfield, which at the moment is below average at best. The only remaining free agent who can make a true impact is Michael Bourn, whose speed and defensive ability could fit nicely in center for the Mets. The monkey in the room has been an issue of draft pick compensation. The Mets would be required to forfeit their first round pick, 11th overall, if they signed Bourn since Atlanta offered him a 13.3 million dollar qualifying offer at the beginning of the free agent period. The Mets have inquired to the league to see if their pick is eligible to be protected, like the other top 10 draft picks, because they finished with one of the 10 worst records in the game but didn't reap the rewards of a top 10 pick because of a rule in the Collective Bargaining Agreement. The Pittsburgh Pirates failed to sign their first round draft pick in 2012, and the new CBA requires that a team who does not sign a first round pick to receive a pick in the same spot in the round the next season. The Pirates picked 8th in 2012, and the rule inserted their first round pick at 9th in 2013, bumping the Mets out of the top 10.
The word on whether or not Major League Baseball would honor the Mets' request remains mixed, MetsBlog.com reports. In an appearance on MLB Network this morning, Peter Gammons stated his belief that the league would protect the Mets' draft pick if it was a requirement for a free agent signing. Gammons believed that if the pick was ruled to be protected, there is "real optimism" that the Mets would sign Bourn to a contract. Later in the morning, however, Fox Sports' Ken Rosenthal reported on MLB Network that he did not believe the league would protect the Mets pick. Rosenthal's report states that he believes MLB does not want to set a precedent by protecting the Mets' pick, effectively creating a loophole in draft pick compensation for the CBA.
The issue with signing Bourn is not simply an issue of draft pick compensation. In an appearance on SNY's Mets Hot Stove last night, general manager Sandy Alderson indicated that the length of contract could also be an issue. Alderson has been very hesitant to give out long term "second generation" contracts. The term "second generation" refers to the fact that the contract in question would be the player's second big contract after arbitration, which is typically a time when players are close to (or past) their peak. Bourn is represented by the notoriously difficult to please Scott Boras, and he is believed to be seeking a five year deal for his client. Alderson, who met with Boras and Bourn in Houston last week, is hesitant to meet that price. One rumored deal structure that has been leaked is a three year contract that features a low year one salary, an opt out for Bourn after the first year if he wants to test the market again, and two team options at the end of the contract to push the deal to five years. It remains to be seen whether Bourn would accept such a package, but with spring training less than two weeks away Bourn is going to have to find a home soon.Tags: Baseball, Michael Bourn, MLB, New York, New York Mets, Sandy Alderson, Scott Boras

Thank you so much. My daughter was so happy to get this.
Each design is original and handmade by me. Personalized gifts for all occasions. Unique home decor for any room.
I'm Laura. An artist, wife, mom and grandmother. I'm the face behind Mama Bleu Designs and I have an unquenchable thirst for creating with my hands. I grew up in Sierra Madre, a small town in Southern California at the foothills of the San Gabriel mountains.
Some of my fondest memories growing up are connected with sewing. I learned to sew from my mom and she learned to sew from her mother. As a teenager I would spend my weekends browsing through fabric stores or in front of my hand-me-down sewing machine. A couple of decades later not much has changed!
My art education put a solid foundation under my love of design & color and my fondness of sewing. I considered launching my own creative business from time to time but never moved it past the hobby level until I discovered etsy.
Mama Bleu was birthed from a daydream. I started sketching simple scenes of a little bluebird in her garden. She loves to nurture the flowers and creatures of her neighborhood by speaking encouraging words that float on the breeze and carry high in the air. This mama bird dreams of perching on tall blossoms in Monet's Garden someday but until then she keeps her dream alive by using the french spelling of her name. My daydream was the beginning of what has now fully bloomed into Mama Bleu Designs!

Kevin Garnett scored 20 points and pulled down 13 rebounds, Rajon Rondo added 18 points and 14 assists, and the Boston Celtics beat the Washington Wizards in overtime 100-94. Bradley Beal and Kevin Seraphin each scored 16 to lead the Wizards who rallied from an 11 point fourth quarter deficit to force overtime. However the Wizards only managed six points in overtime while Brandon Bass managed five all by himself. The Celtics move to 2-2 on the season with their sixth straight win over Washington. The game really should not have gone to overtime, as Boston had a number of opportunities to finish the game off earlier. A lot of good and a lot of bad came out of it, but at the end of the night a win is a win.
Turning Point I
The biggest problem the Celtics have had thus far this season has been sustaining momentum. Their offense and defense have both been so inconsistent that the C's really haven't been able to put together any runs. Tonight they finally put one together. Washington was up by five entering the second half and maintained a slim lead for much of the third quarter. But with three minutes remaining Chris Wilcox checked into the game and immediately chipped in six points and a blocked shot. Wilcox's energy really woke Boston up and the Celtics, running with a lineup of Rondo, Jason Terry, Jeff Green, Bass, and Wilcox, ran off a 12-2 run to enter the fourth quarter up eight.
Turning Point II
Paul Pierce converted a three point play to push Boston's lead to 11 early in the fourth quarter. Then the Celtics just started trading hoops with Washington. Boston's offense struggled for much of the night but their defense had been top notch. Unfortunately they switched off the second they went up double digits. Jason Terry kept them ahead for a while, hitting a number of tough jumpers, but the Celtics started giving up too many easy shots and Washington gradually crawled back into the game. The C's really started playing hero ball the second Washington got back into it. Part of it was certainly that Rondo was on the bench at the time with four fouls, but the Celtics really made a lot of very poor decisions late, allowing Washington to force overtime in a game they should have lost by double digits.
Turning Point III
Martell Webster hit a very difficult running jump shot to tie it at 92 with 2:36 remaining in overtime. They didn't score again until Bradley Beal dropped in finger role at the end of overtime after the result had been decided. The Celtics really sleep walked through a lot of this game, and the lack of intensity that keeps cropping up has been disturbing even for couch Doc Rivers. They stepped the intensity, particularly on defense, up a notch in overtime. It isn't as simple as "they just need to play harder" but the C's are leaving some intensity on the table. They showed how suffocating their defense can be in overtime. The effort level needs to be around there all the time.
Rotations Coming Together, Bench Waking Up
At the end of the night, amid a lot of the negativity about the C's needing OT to beat Washington, Tommy Heinsohn said "I think they finally had the right guys on the floor at the right time." The Celtics have been having a tough time getting going this year. The new guys are working out how to fit in, Rivers is figuring out his rotations, and the bench is still trying to find it's way. Tonight C's fans finally got to see what this team should really look like. Jared Sullinger and Courtney Lee started. Jason Terry and Brandon Bass finished. Jeff Green and Leandro Barbosa filled in the gaps. The guys are still working out how to play together, and there was a lot of bad mixed in with the good, but things did seem to come together late for Boston on Wednesday night.
JET Incoming
People have waiting for Boston's revamped bench to contribute. In the first three games they have been outscored and the bench's performances really have not been pretty. As said earlier the C's reserves are really easing their way into things. Well tonight Jason Terry had a had enough easing and decided to just take the lead. Terry finished with 16 points, including a number of big jump shots in the fourth quarter, and also played excellent ball denial defense down the stretch. The C's brought Terry in to take command of their second unit and make big shots late. He did that Wednesday night. He's still missing some shots that he normally makes, but the JET engines are revving up.
Power Forward Spot Bears Watching
For the second straight game Jared Sullinger started and was very strong early, playing strong D and grabbing a couple tough rebounds. However for the second straight game Sullinger didn't do much after his strong start. After a strong first quarter most of the minutes the rest of the way went to Bass. Of the two Bass has clearly been the more impressive player, not only knocking down his midrange jumpers but also improving his rebounding by leaps and bounds. As long as the C's keep winning Sullinger will probably keep starting, however Bass will keep finishing and as long as his play is so strong it will be tough to keep him out of the starting lineup.
What It Means
The Celtics needed overtime to beat the Washington Wizards. The critics are going to have a field day with that, but there were positive signs. The Wizards aren't great, but they are an NBA team and they played really hard tonight. The Celtics came out on top and a win is a win.
What's Next
The Celtics look to get over .500 Friday, November 10th at 7:30 p.m. when the Philadelphia 76ers visit TD Garden.Tags: Basketball, Boston, Boston Celtics, NBA

Is Rita Ora Leaving The Voice After This Series?
Show host Marvin Humes reckons she might be...
She's hit the ground running as a coach on the current series of BBC One talent show The Voice, but could Rita Ora already be planning her exit?
Show host Marvin Humes has prompted speculation that the new recruit might "pull a Kylie" and quit the hit show after just one series.
Rita Ora: Style File
He told the Daily Star On Sunday: "Rita is blowing up across the world right now. I wouldn't be surprised if she was too busy to come back next year.
"She was nominated for an Oscar, she is constantly releasing number one singles and she has another album coming.
"You don't get more current than that. Recording the show is a huge commitment. Jessie and Kylie both quit so they could tour, so it wouldn't be a huge shock if Rita did the same.
"But if that's the case it shows she was a great booking in the first place."
He also hinted that there could be more than one new occupant for the show's famous spinning chairs.
"Perhaps Kylie and Rita can job share – one year on, one year off. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a new female next year and a change in the male line-up too."

Today, while most companies remain bullish regarding prices in the future, they remain wary of the variability of prices and the impact on their bottom line. Most mining companies spend considerable time planning during each phase of the mining lifecycle, however, many still find themselves reacting to the need for cost reduction rather than planning for it.
Leading mining companies are looking for methods, processes and tools that will allow them to be proactive in order to recession proof their organization against market volatility and increased cost pressure.
Watch our video on the performance management and predictive capabilities of Value Driver Modelling to learn how leading mining companies can deliver sustainable cost reduction by proactively responding to market volatility.

Armstrong County drug bust lands 'significant amount of heroin'
Officers confiscated 200 stamp bags of heroin Saturday in what District Attorney Scott Andreassi said was one of the biggest drug busts in terms of drug confiscation in the county.
Jamie Michael Kluciar, 35, of 1703 Fifth Ave., Apt. C, was arrested for allegedly possessing the drugs. Kluciar had been on the radar of officers and was suspected of transporting drugs from Pittsburgh, Andreassi said.
Kluciar was jailed Saturday on charges of possession of a controlled substance, possession with intent to deliver, delivery of a controlled substance, criminal use of a communication facility and possession of drug paraphernalia, according to Armstrong County Jail records. He is being held on $25,000 bond.
"Two hundred stamp bags of heroin is a significant amount of heroin," Andreassi said. "That's not someone who's just using, that's someone who's dealing as well."
According to a criminal affidavit, Kluciar was arrested in the area of Garretts Run Road and Coal Street in Manor Township, after leaving a Bishop Hill Road residence. Arresting officers allegedly found the stamp bags of heroin and a clear plastic bag containing what was suspected to be cocaine in the front area of the suspect's underwear, the affidavit said.
The apartment building where Kluciar lives has been identified as a "significant drug area," Andreassi said.
People in the area have been a help to officers by reporting suspicious activity, such as vehicles stopping at a residence for a short period of time, he said. Other indicators of potential drug dealing is seeing unusual faces or people coming to "visit" on weekends, he said.
Andreassi commended the officers involved.
"These guys go in expecting the worst," he said.
Kluciar is scheduled for a preliminary hearing on an unrelated drug paraphernalia possession charge on Jan. 26.
Officers from Kittanning, Freeport, Ford City and the District Attorney's office participated in the arrest, operating under the Armstrong County Narcotics Enforcement Team. At least three more arrests are expected.
