Many people including myself are in debt. The amount of debt that people are in may differ, but many of us want to eliminate that debt as soon as possible. During the last 3-4 years, I've read at least 60 stories where people have paid off their debt. Those stories motivated me to finally get started with paying on my debt. I saw people paying on their debt using several different methods. I found one that intrigued me more than any of the others. It was called the debt snowball method.
The debt snowball method is a way of paying off your debt that was made popular by Dave Ramsey. He wrote a book about it called The Total Money Makeover. With the debt snowball method, you list your debts in order from smallest to largest. You make the minimum payment on all of the debts except the smallest. You then put as much money on the minimum as possible. Once that debt is paid off, take the money that you used to pay that one and combine it with the minimum payment of the next smallest one. As you continue to do this with every debt, the payment amounts will keep getting bigger. This creates a snowball effect. Below is an example of the method. This person has three debts.
Credit Card A – $100 balance ($25 minimum payment)
Credit Card B – $300 balance ($25 minimum payment)
Student Loan $1000 balance ($50 minimum payment)
Imagine that this person is applying an extra $25 to credit card "A" each month. That card would be paid off after month number two. The $50 that was going toward credit card "A" will now be added to credit card "B," thus making the new payment amount $75 per month. Credit card "B" would then be paid off after month number six. Now you add the $75 payment to the $50 for the student loan payment. Now you are paying $125 on the student loan. This loan will now be paid off after month number 12. In one year the snowball method has allowed you to pay of three debts. Of course, the higher the debt is, the longer it will take. The point that I'm trying to make is to show people that this method works.
I've been using the debt snowball method since January 2015. During that time, I've been able to eliminate three of my debts. Another one will be gone before the year is up. For me, I will say that it has been working. I'm the type of person that needs to see things getting smaller. As the debts are being paid off, I can see the snowball getting bigger.
I'd suggest the debt snowball method to anyone that is attempting to pay off debt. It's easy and simple to start. Some people like paying the debts with the highest interest first, I understand why they might do it, but I'm a fan of seeing small wins. The snowball method allows you to see them.
For more information about the snowball method, you may want to check out Dave Ramsey's website.
Have you used the debt snowball method before? Did it help you eliminate your debt quicker?

Mark Hill hosting Prime Music House Party @ Sonos Studio
Former Artful Dodger star Mark Hill is hosting Prime Music House Party @ Sonos Studio to celebrate Amazon Prime Music coming to Sonos.
The 'Re-Rewind (The Crowd Say Bo Selecta)' hitmaker - a long-time collaborator with Craig David - has partnered with the music streaming service to throw the special house party this May to mark the new partnership between the two companies.
From Tuesday (26.04.16), Amazon Prime members can enjoy unlimited on-demand streaming of more than a million songs, curated playlists and personalised stations in their home on their Sonos audio systems at no extra cost to their membership. Artists available include The Beatles, David Bowie, One Direction, Ed Sheeran, Ariana Grande, Coldplay, Little Mix, Zayn, Birdy and Years & Years.
To celebrate the launch, Amazon will be giving away one Sonos PLAY:1 speaker every day from Friday 29 April to Thursday 5 May for Prime members who stream specific Prime Playlists.
Hill will play an exclusive DJ set at the Prime Music House Party @ Sonos Studio on May 18 which will take place in Shoreditch in east London.
To enter the competition, Prime members should visit www.amazon.co.uk/primemusic from Friday to find links to the Prime Playlists which customers can stream to be eligible to win. Once the prize draw has closed, seven lucky winners will be picked at random to each receive a Sonos PLAY:1.
Prime members can also win tickets for the party through a prize draw from May 6 and can visit @AmazonMusicUK on Twitter to find out more information.
Steve Bernstein, Director, Digital Music for Amazon EU, said: "Prime Music has been very well received by UK customers, so we're delighted to continue to add features and offer customers the opportunity to stream Prime Music through Sonos from today. To celebrate the launch, we're giving Amazon customers in the UK and Germany the chance to win Sonos speakers and tickets for the exclusive Prime Music House Party @ Sonos Studios in London this May; this unique event will be a great way to celebrate the launch of this partnership with our customers."

- The role of body image in advertising effectiveness of healthy food products
- Abstract:
- Endorsement has been an important communication strategy for companies in order to convey favourable associations about their products. In fact, there is a large body of literature reporting the positive impact of endorsers on consumer attitudes towards advertisements and brands, consumer purchase intention, as well as other measures of effectiveness (e.g. Amos et al., 2008; Kaikati, 1987; Goldsmith et al., 2000). Choosing the appropriate endorser to promote a product has always been a challenge both for academics and for practitioners. Several studies have measured under which conditions endorsers are appropriate for products and positively impact advertising effectiveness (e.g. Agrawal and Kamakura, 1995; Tripp et al., 1994). A common empirical approach has been based on the match-up hypothesis. This theory suggests endorsers to be more effective when there is a fit between the endorser and the endorsed product (Till and Busler, 2000). In the case of healthy foods, and in line with the match-up hypothesis, an effective endorser should be one perceived as healthy. This is the most common practice of companies advertising their health brands. However, there have been successful cases where companies promoted their health brands using non-healthy and less attractive endorsers. For example, the Danish dairy company Arla used to promote one of its pro-biotic yoghurt Cultura by using a less-attractive and un-healthy endorser. This sequel of advertisements met lots of success and received great popularity among Danes. The target group for health foods is not only healthy people but those who want to improve their health status and, therefore, not being healthy enough. According to the social comparison theory, individuals will make some inferences concerning the endorser, which leads them to feel pressured to conform to those with whom they compare themselves (Festinger 1954). In other words, an advertisement using a healthy endorser may not be effective by the un-healthy target group. In fact, this raises also the question of whether such advertisements can act as interventions to improve the population's healthy eating standards. This study aims to provide a better understanding of this phenomenon and explore under which conditions a food product could be effectively advertised by a less-healthy endorser. The objectives are: a) to explore the effect of perceived body image as a surrogate measure of perceived endorser's healthiness on advertising effectiveness; b) to explore the moderating role of perceived product healthiness on advertising effectiveness and c) if these effects vary across consumer groups of different levels of health motivation and other measures of healthiness (e.g. Body Mass Index). For the purpose of the study an experiment is used based on measuring the effectiveness of advertisements that vary on the endorser's body image (slim vs. overweight) and the food type (a perceived healthy product – milk vs. a perceived un-healthy one – sausages). The study is currently in progress and the data are being collected in Denmark. The results of this study will lead towards both managerial and theoretical implications. In relation to the former, it provides useful directions to food companies in relation to which endorser may be more effective to increase the effectiveness of their advertising when to promote their healthy food products. In relation to the later, it contributes to the theoretical development of endorsement advertising effectiveness by providing further understanding of the processes under which both underlined theories work, especially when it comes to the promotion of healthy food products.

Rehabilitation of the Big Walker Mountain Tunnel in Bristol, Virginia
Complete transformation for the Cameron culverts
T&T North America 5/01
Many older tunnels today are either not used to their full potential or are not used at all due to their structural condition. These older tunnels can be widened in order to accommodate larger freight trains, trucks, light rail or to increase the traffic capacity and in the case of leaking tunnels and deteriorated tunnels can be rehabilitated creating a dry and safe environment.
Tunnel widening can be accomplished utilizing the principals of NATM. After appropriate pre-support is installed, the existing tunnel lining is removed in sections and a new shotcrete lining is installed. In order to preserve the quality of the tunnel inner lining as well as the utilities and finishes in the tunnel, a waterproofing system is installed against the shotcrete lining then the inner lining is constructed.
In cases where the existing tunnel size is sufficient but the structural lining, finishes and utilities are deteriorated due to water ingress, tunnel rehabilitation is recommended by designing a solution that incorporates Dr. Sauer Group's four principles.
The resulting rehabilitation will provide a safe environment for the public and maintenance workers as well as extending the life of ventilation, mechanical and electrical fixtures

The Republic of Rhodesia is a sovereign nation in Southeast Africa ruled by a white minority government made up mostly by the descendants of English colonists who settled there during Britain's imperial apex in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Following the collapse of the United Kingdom and its colonial empire after its defeat in the Second World War, the colonial government of Southern Rhodesia scrambled to maintain its control over the nation as other former British holdings fell into chaos and subsequently succumbed to the Axis war machine. Taking cues from its neighbour South Africa, the Southern Rhodesian parliament led by Prime Minister Godfrey Huggins unilaterally declared independence from the UK in 1946 and quickly declared its support for the Axis Powers before German troops reached the Zambezi River. Although Adolf Hitler was initially intent on simply conquering the country, military and political officials in the war-weary Nazi Empire convinced him to entertain the notion of a truce with the white supremacist Rhodesian government as a means of sparing the Reich the human and financial expense of yet another costly war and occupation in Africa. After a tense period of deliberations and negotiations, the Reich agreed to respect Rhodesian sovereignty in return for access to a portion of Rhodesia's rich natural resources.
As in neighbouring South Africa, a small minority of whites serve as the nation's elite. Unlike South Africa, however, Rhodesia maintains a free and fair democracy for its white citizens (although the black majority is similarly oppressed and disenfranchised). Nonetheless, blacks in Rhodesia have a better lot than anywhere else in colonial Africa, as the nation's vast natural resources have afforded it a good deal of prosperity and created a wealth of jobs in the mining and agricultural industries. The government of long-time moderate Prime Minister Ian Smith also asserted Rhodesia's sovereignty against both the Nazi Empire and the Afrikaner-dominated South African regime by prohibiting the Axis slave trade from passing through his nation, thus ensuring at least de jure freedom for the black residents of Rhodesia.

Legend: Academic word (?) New word
You should spend about 20 minutes on Questions 1-12 which are based on Reading Passage 2 below.
A - Traditional lexicographical methods
The compiling of dictionaries has been historically the provenance of studious professorial types - usually bespectacled - who love to pore over weighty tomes and make pronouncements on the finer nuances of meaning. They were probably good at crosswords and definitely knew a lot of words, but the image was always rather dry and dusty. The latest technology, and simple technology at that, is revolutionising the content of dictionaries and the way they are put together.
B - New method of research
For the first time , dictionary publishers are incorporating real, spoken English into their data . It gives lexicographers (people who write dictionaries) access to a more vibrant, up-to-date vernacular language which has never really been studied before. In one project, 150 volunteers each agreed to discreetly tie a Walkman recorder to their waist and leave it running for anything up to two weeks. Every conversation they had was recorded. When the data was collected, the length of tapes was 35 times the depth of the Atlantic Ocean. Teams of audio typists transcribed the tapes to produce a computerised database of ten million words.
C - Alternative expressions provided
This has been the basis - along with an existing written corpus - for the Language Activator dictionary, described by lexicographer Professor Randolph Quirk as "the book the world has been waiting for". It shows advanced foreign learners of English how the language is really used. In the dictionary, key words such as "eat" are followed by related phrases such as "wolf down" or "be a picky eater" , allowing the student to choose the appropriate phrase.
D - Accurate word frequency counts
"This kind of research would be impossible without computers," said Delia Summers, a director of dictionaries. "It has transformed the way lexicographers work. If you look at the word "like", you may intuitively think that the first and most frequent meaning is the verb, as in "I like swimming". It is not. It is the preposition, as in: "she walked like a duck". Just because a word or phrase is used doesn't mean it ends up in a dictionary. The sifting out process is as vital as ever. But the database does allow lexicographers to search for a word and find out how frequently it is used - something that could only be guessed at intuitively before.
E -New phrases enter dictionary
Researchers have found that written English works in a very different way to spoken English. The phrase "say what you like" literally means "feel free to say anything you want", but in reality it is used, evidence shows, by someone to prevent the other person voicing disagreement. The phrase "it"s a question of crops up on the database over and over again. It has nothing to do with enquiry, but it's one of the most frequent English phrases which has never been in a language learner's dictionary before : it is now.
F - Non-verbal content
The Spoken Corpus computer shows how inventive and humorous people are when they are using language by twisting familiar phrases for effect. It also reveals the power of the pauses and noises we use to play for time, convey emotion, doubt and irony.
G - A cooperative research project
For the moment, those benefiting most from the Spoken Corpus are foreign learners. "Computers allow lexicographers to search quickly through more examples of real English ," said Professor Geoffrey Leech of Lancaster University. "They allow dictionaries to be more accurate and give a feel for how language is being used." The Spoken Corpus is part of the larger British National Corpus, an initiative carried out by several groups involved in the production of language learning materials: publishers, universities and the British Library .
FOR THE first century or so of the industrial revolution, increased productivity led to decreases in working hours. Employees who had been putting in 12-hour days, six days a week, found their time on the job shrinking to 10 hours daily, then, finally, to eight hours, five days a week . Only a generation ago social planners worried about what people would do with all this new-found free time. In the US, at least, it seems they need not have bothered.
Although the output per hour of work has more than doubled since 1945, leisure seems reserved largely for the unemployed and underemployed. Those who work full-time spend as much time on the job as they did at the end of World War II. In fact, working hours have increased noticeably since 1970 — perhaps because real wages have stagnated since that year . Bookstores now abound with manuals describing how to manage time and cope with stress.
There are several reasons for lost leisure. Since 1979, companies have responded to improvements in the business climate by having employees work overtime rather than by hiring extra personnel, says economist Juliet B. Schor of Harvard University. Indeed, the current economic recovery has gained a certain amount of notoriety for its "jobless" nature : increased production has been almost entirely decoupled from employment. Some firms are even downsizing as their profits climb. "All things being equal, we"d be better off spreading around the work,' observes labour economist Ronald G. Ehrenberg of Cornell University.
Yet a host of factors pushes employers to hire fewer workers for more hours and, at the same time, compels workers to spend more time on the job. Most of those incentives involve what Ehrenberg calls the structure of compensation: quirks in the way salaries and benefits are organised that make it more profitable to ask 40 employees to labour an extra hour each than to hire one more worker to do the same 40-hour job.
Professional and managerial employees supply the most obvious lesson along these lines. Once people are on salary, their cost to a firm is the same whether they spend 35 hours a week in the office or 70. Diminishing returns may eventually set in as overworked employees lose efficiency or leave for more arable pastures. But in the short run, the employer's incentive is clear.
Even hourly employees receive benefits - such as pension contributions and medical insurance - that are not tied to the number of hours they work . Therefore, it is more profitable for employers to work their existing employees harder.
For all that employees complain about long hours, they, too, have reasons not to trade money for leisure. " People who work reduced hours pay a huge penalty in career terms," Schor maintains. "It"s taken as a negative signal' about their commitment to the firm .' Lotte Bailyn of Massachusetts Institute of Technology adds that many corporate managers find it difficult to measure the contribution of their underlings to a firm's well-being, so they use the number of hours worked as a proxy for output. "Employees know this," she says, and they adjust their behavior accordingly.
"Although the image of the good worker is the one whose life belongs to the company," Bailyn says, "it doesn't fit the facts.' She cites both quantitative and qualitative studies that show increased productivity for part-time workers: they make better use of the time they have , and they are less likely to succumb to fatigue in stressful jobs. Companies that employ more workers for less time also gain from the resulting redundancy , she asserts. "The extra people can cover the contingencies that you know are going to happen, such as when crises take people away from the workplace.' Positive experiences with reduced hours have begun to change the more-is-better culture at some companies, Schor reports.
Larger firms, in particular, appear to be more willing to experiment with flexible working arrangements...
It may take even more than changes in the financial and cultural structures of employment for workers successfully to trade increased productivity and money for leisure time, Schor contends. She says the U.S. market for goods has become skewed by the assumption of full-time, two-career households. Automobile makers no longer manufacture cheap models, and developers do not build the tiny bungalows that served the first generation of home buyers. Not even the humblest household object is made without a microprocessor. As Schor notes, the situation is a curious inversion of the "appropriate technology" vision that designers have had for developing countries: U.S. goods are appropriate only for high incomes and long hours.

IT personnel are critical to IT Companies because of their knowledge and experiences in the very fast changing nature of technology. Turnover can be a crisis for all companies in any industry, especially for IT industry, because losing an employee can cause financial as well as non financial problems. This study examines the relationship between style of leadership; namely transformational and transactional leadership and turnover intention in IT Companies in Iran. The study was performed based on survey method using MLQ questionnaire according to Full Range Leadership Model. A number of current employees of respondent Companies (N=83) completed this questionnaire. Correlation analysis was done on the data gathered from questionnaire based on 95% of confidence. Findings of this study indicate that the transformational leadership has a significant relation in decreasing personnel turnover intention. Among the four factors of transformational leadership style, Individual consideration was proven to be the most important factor. The findings of this research could help Managers in IT Companies to choose the right leadership style in order to decrease the employees' turnover intention.

- This heavy-handed horror can't wait to serve you up a knuckle sandwich. Dodge its digits, then give it a handshake it won't forget. - Official description from the manual.
The Mechno-Mitt is an enemy type in Battletoads & Double Dragon. They are giant mechanical arms (consisting of multi-colored rubber balls for most of their limbs and gloves for hands) that guard the tail of the Colossus near the end of the first stage. They will try to smack the player over his head and can only be attacked with an elbow drop when they're stuck on the ground. The player faces another Mechno-Mitt at the end of the final stage just before the final boss fight with the Dark Queen.

what is your bra size?
are you happy with it?
Most Helpful Girl
34 B and no cleavage at all. I've learned to accept it.11|00|0
what is your bra size?
are you happy with it?
34 B and no cleavage at all. I've learned to accept it.
Have an opinion?
Just starting out so I'm on a training bra at 36 inches.
Working on it clean bulk.
so shallow
I got em A boobies :-/
Not happy. Guys won't bang me
I am a 32D if I want cleavage and a 32DD if I am looking for all around coverage. I am very happy with my breast size. I think it pairs nicely with my body shape.
girl where can I find a bra with all around coverage. 34 D maybe DD-ish
I ALWAYS shop at the Victoria's Secret Semi Annual sale!!! They have bras as low as 15 bucks! I got a full coverage bra for 20 bucks during that sale and it is so comfortable! They have a sale twice a year. I think the next one is coming up in January or February!
Also Fredericks of Hollywood has some full coverage bras in any size. They are a lot cheaper than victoria's secret ones, but as I said the semi annual sale is worth the wait!
I'm happy with my bra size dude, and I say dude, because I just glanced at your other questions.
34 C and yeah I'm happy :):)
32B. Its okay. I would like them being a bit bigger because I'm pear shaped and it would balance my out a bit. They're also uneven (right one is smaller but not that much) and my smaller one has been sore so maybe it's evening out. If so I'll be much more satisfied with them.
And since everyone else has mentioned cleavage- I barely have any. Oh well.
34C & Yes I am.
32D and idk, they're like pretty big, but they Draw a lot of wrong attention, so idk.
34/36 B. I'm not upset about them, though I wish that I had cleavage.
34C and I'm happy but wouldn't mind being a liiiiitlle bigger haha. Nothing I stress about though. What's your bra size hun? I hope you're happy with yours!
34B. Its alright.
34 B and very happy.
Three months ago I was a 34C with a little cleavage since the upper part was a bit shallow. A full coverage bra would just about contain it. Now I'm just past a D, and may need a DD soon.
I'm pregnant.
I was fitted for 32B. I'd like a little bigger but eh, its all good. Guys really seem to like my nipples:\
I"ll also like
I'm a 32DD and I'm quite content with the size of mine
I've never been properly fitted but I use a 36D. I am not happy with it, I've always wanted to have a B.
Got fitted this weekend. I'm 36DD. I'm happy with my size :)
I'm happy with mine.
38C and yes I am very happy :)
34 D's ehh they are ok I guess. Sometimes I want bigger sometime I want smaller..
34a. i am not happy it is too small. :( but my boyfriend likes it so yes.
34A and I'm happy :)
34A in US measures, I happy with them, I think that more they are small more they are cute :)
I really like 34A... but, well, looking at your picture you certainly do not like like that size. But I guess you know better than me.
90B? Wow that is not definetely 34A. 75B is like 34A.
32 A. No cleavage at all. And yeah I'm happy with it. :)

Deadline Extended on House Letter to CMS Opposing Prior Authorization Proposal
Tuesday, May 24, is the Deadline for Representatives to Sign the Letter
The National Association for Home Care & Hospice (NAHC) is asking everyone to contact their members of the U.S. House of Representatives to request that they cosign the letter being circulated by Congressmen Tom Price (R-GA-6) and James P. McGovern (D-MA-2) urging the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to rescind its prior authorization proposal for Medicare home health care services.
The deadline for signing the letter has been extended to Tuesday, May 24, so please act now using NAHC's Legislative Action Center (available here) to contact your member of the U.S. House and request that they sign on to the letter today. By recruiting as many members of the U.S. House as possible to sign the Price-McGovern letter, NAHC members can help ensure CMS understands the concerns of the home health care community regarding this proposal.
In February, CMS issued a Paperwork Reduction Act Notice containing a proposal to institute a system of "prior authorization" on all home health services in five states. This proposal, which could easily expand to additional states, threatens Medicare beneficiaries and upstanding home health agencies because it would be costly, burdensome, and totally ineffective in preventing fraud and abuse.

House Medicaid Task Force Working on Proposals for 2017
Last year, Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives announced the establishment of the Medicaid Task Force to examine and develop changes to the Medicaid program. The Task Force is chaired by Rep. Brett Guthrie (R-KY). Subsequently the National Association for Home Care & Hospice (NAHC) has met him and his staff to discuss Medicaid-related and other legislation.
Rep. Guthrie, according to news reports, recently said that the Medicaid Task Force is working on proposals but will not release them until 2017. This will allow the Task Force to wait until after the national elections have determined control of Congress and the White House. Rep. Guthrie also indicated that reducing costs in Medicaid is one of the focuses of the Task Force. The National Association for Home Care & Hospice (NAHC) has argued for the expansion of home and community based services in Medicaid, which are not only higher quality and preferred by those receiving care but also more cost-effective than institutional care.
Medicaid Managed Care — What You Need to Know
The greatest growth in home care is in Medicaid services. This increase is triggered by the nationwide rebalancing of Medicaid spending on long-term care as more states shift their focus to home- and community-based care and away from institutional care in nursing homes. The movement from fee-for-service to Medicaid managed long-term services and supports (MLTSS) requires increased awareness from home care and hospice financial managers. Medicaid home care now accounts for $75 billion in spending, so come to FMC 2016 and hear what worked and what didn't in 2015.
Attending FMC 2016 is how you become part of the national leadership circle in home health and hospice finance. We hope you'll join us July 10-12 at the Red Rock Casino & Spa in Las Vegas.
Learn more about FMC 2016! See the conference program and schedule here.

Author | Vinod Behl | Wednesday, Jan 05,2005 6:59 AM
Rajat Sharma-promoted India TV has taken a major programming initiative to launch a series of anchor-driven shows in the New Year. The 24-hour Hindi news channel, with a new catch-line, 'New Year, New Look India TV', is unveiling over a half a dozen new programmes.
India TV has introduced an all-new concept of Speed News. This daily show, anchored by Saurav and Rajini, presents crisp and fast-paced news of the day without riders. Unlike other channels, this 30-minute news bulletin, aired at 11 pm, presents over three-dozen new stories compared to eight to 10 new stories packed in a standard 30-minute news bulletin on various other channels.
The channel has introduced a six days a week special Evening News Show. This 8 pm programme, anchored by Abul and Aarti, offers 50 minutes of analysis in politics, business, entertainment, sports, with studio discussions and interviews related to the day's news, while the 10 pm six days a week prime time show, India Live, hosted by Sudhir Chaudhry, presents live news reporting from correspondents deployed across the remotest locations in the country. Not just goodies, the channel has made its presentation livelier with different sets for morning, afternoon and evening news.
'Kal Ka India' – the Sunday night show is an upmarket programme on India's best schools and colleges. Then there is this new cinema show – Box Office India on Fridays. Hello India, the weekday show on Mondays, anchored by mimicry artist Abhishek, is a spoof on politicians while another Monday show – Chat Masala presents celebrity interviews. The flagship weekday show – Rajat Shamra Ke Saath Aaj Ki Baat, has been given a new look with a new set and new packaging.
However, alongside completing 200 days of successful existence, India TV can be perceived as steadily but surely riding high on the TRP chart. According to the TAM ratings, it has garnered 11 per cent viewership share on weekends, ahead of DD News (six per cent) and Sahara Samay (five per cent), closing ranks with Star News (15 per cent) and Zee News (18 per cent).

When most bread goes stale it gets tossed in the trash or fed to the birds. But for some lucky loaves, going stale is just the beginning of a transformation into bread pudding - the ambrosial dessert that is a mainstay finale at Creole restaurants across New Orleans.

Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao today eulogized Reddy Jana Sangham community for its yeomen services to the society for seven and-a-half decades in the twin cities.
Participating as the chief guest in the Sangham's Diamond Jubilee Celebrations conducted at Aliabad near Charminar here, the Chief Minister extolled the Reddy Jana Sangham for owning a great history and playing a key role in the society for quite a long time. On the occasion, KCR announced that to mark the services of Reddy community stalwarts, his government would install statues of Rajabahadur Venkatrama Reddy, Suravaram Prathap Reddy and Ravi Narayana Reddy on the Tank Bund. "It is not a simple thing to offer laudable services for the past 75 years," the Chief Minister noted.
"On behalf of the government, we will offer Rs 10 crore to the Reddy Janasangham Society besides allocating 10 acres of land for Reddy Hostel expansion on the city outskirts", KCR stated. He also unveiled a memorial to mark the diamond jubilee event.
Lokayukta Justice V Subhashan Reddy, Home Minister Nayani Narasimha Reddy, VHP International president Raghava Reddy and others were present. (NSS)

This dress is from Joy the Store my favourite store in London (it's even better than Topshop on Oxford Circus!). I bought it in the online sale to celebrate a rather eventful week in the middle of this year. It was on sale. I was hoping the fit and the print was as true as on the website - and when I tried it on, it was fabulous! I love the green floral - I don't look like a traffic light! - and that it goes with pink, blue, purple and black. I also love the swishy pleated skirt and the bust line. I'm also wearing my new sandals by Windsor Smith - another sale item.
I discovered Joy the Store in London when I was holidaying in London in July 2012, I went into a few Joy stores in different areas of London, and fell in love with a gold and navy dress that I kept seeing. It reminded me of a Cue or Review dress. I was being careful with my money, and so I waited until my last day there to buy it. I caught the train from Earls Court to Fullham Broadway with half an hour to spare before I needed to catch a taxi to the airport. I knew what I wanted. Spent my last £40 cash on that perfect dress. Squeezed it into my carry-on. And I wear that dress to VIP events, instead of wearing a suit.

Simply do a search for Ashley Judd Naked. That's what Mitch has to run against ~
Complete nut case; she'll never win anything; the Dems should be worried with her.
I always thought she was one of the more physically attractive actresses. I'd never vote for her for public office, though.
Heck, her track record on issues important to our commonwealth is poison to her campaign. She will almost be like an ex-KKK member that claims to have seen the light and now regularly attends NAACP meetings and is a card carrying member.
Wow - there are a lot of them. I had no idea....
i dont think those are pictures of her. Most are combinations of her head and some one else's body.
And the carpet doesn't match the drapes!

Let's face it. The prawn is just about the most important staple of many of our most famous fish species. It's hard to think of a fishing application where a prawn won't do the trick, or at least give you half a chance, even vegetarians like Luderick have been known to take the odd prawn. It's certainly not uncommon to hear of Kingies over the 5kg mark and bigger, taking a humble prawn. Barra love them, Aussie Salmon, Tailor, Flathead, Bream, Jacks…It's an endless list. This is why we have used prawns since we held our first cork hand line. The early artificial prawns left a lot to be desired. More gimmick that effective bait. These days however, the soft plastic revolution has delivered us a range of plastic prawns that have left the soft plastic fraternity gobsmacked with their astonishing ability to attract fish of all species…and in numbers.
The Squidgy Wriggler Prawn Fishing Lure is out there leading the pack. The Wriggler is part of the Squidgy Pro Prawn range. It is the smaller of the range and deadly on Bream, Flathead and Whiting, and just about anything with gills. The Wriggler is 65mm and will take a range of jig heads. Available in a few colours the Wriggler is ideal for just about any inshore application.
The Wriggler tail is incredibly exciting for a fish and impossible to leave alone. Add a smear or two of Squidgy S-Factor fish attractant and you will have the deadliest prawn in the harbour bar none. Suitable for ultra-light to light and medium fishing applications the Squidgy Wriggler Prawn is an excellent finesse bait. Coupled with the appropriate jig head you can fish a range of conditions and environments and, it's just as happy down deep as it is being fished around the surface.
♦ Length: 65mm
♦ Jig Head: Experiment, they will handle quite a range of hook sizes and weights
♦ Style: Prawn, Wriggler Tail
♦ Qty in packet: 6 lures
Note: Price is for 1 packet, images for illustration purpose only.
♦ The squidgy wriggler prawn can be fished easily at all depths.
♦ It's a versatile lure. Most of your inshore species will find the Wriggler impossible to ignore.
♦ This is a finesse bait and works beautifully on the increasingly popular light rigs.
♦ Totally deadly when dabbed with a little S-Factor.
The Squidgies Wriggler Prawn Fishing Lures are general purpose wonders. That's not to say you can't get specific and hone in on a target, far from it. It is more owing to the fact that they mimic a prawn so beautifully that anything in the vicinity of the wriggler is going to make a b-line for that enticing tail. It looks like a prawn. So will you if you don't have the full selection of colours in your kit. Put some in your trolley now.

Work service is a program on campus that requires each student to complete two hours of service every week. The program is designed to keep students informed and involved about things on campus. At the beginning of each term, coordinating with their schedule, students are required to meet with their work service supervisor and set two specific times during the week when the work service will be completed.
At the end of the week, all students are required to fill out a work service form stating that they have completed their two hours for the week. Students fill out their part of the form, then take it to their work service supervisor to get it signed, then return it to Mrs. Joyce Boatman in Student Services. This creates responsibility and time management skills for the students. It also make them aware how much goes into keeping this campus clean.
Students are assigned to a specific faculty or staff member on campus. The mentors will designate what needs to be done, including activities such as research, organization, cleaning, etc. All returning students also have to complete two hours of work service each week and have to fill out a work service form signed by their supervisor.
Some students on campus are part of the Residential Life Support Team (RLST). This takes up a large chunk of time for these selected students. They are required to help schedule and run hall activities and bathroom duty. These selected students do not have a specific work service supervisor because being an RLST is considered their work service.
If Work Service is Not Completed
If the correct amount of work service hours are not complete on time, the student can and will be placed on campus restriction. This means that they are not allowed to leave campus for any reason such as Wal-Mart runs or walking off campus. Once the hours missed are made up, they are taken off restriction. However, if the problem of not completing work service continues, further punishments will be put in place. A meeting with the President, Dr. Motley might also be scheduled to discuss the lack of work service hours.

Generation of Bridges Was Built With Less Steel
Sunday, August 5, 2007
The 40-year-old bridge that collapsed in Minneapolis last week was built during an era when designers were confident they knew enough about bridge strength and weight loads that they could build bridges lighter and cheaper.
But a number of bridge collapses have taught engineers painful lessons about the frailty of bridges and the punishment they take from heavy trucks, strong tides and even the errant barge that slams into bridge supports, according to engineers, bridge builders and academics.
The challenge, they say, is that many of the nation's 594,709 bridges were built during the 1950s and 1960s, an era when designers didn't fully understand the effects of metal fatigue or other challenges. Now, many of those bridges are facing increased scrutiny.
"Maybe we out-thought ourselves for a little while," said Mal Kerley, Virginia's chief engineer, referring to postwar bridge-building when the interstate highway system was created. "What has happened over time is that we learned things."
In 1883, the Brooklyn Bridge opened to horse-and-buggy traffic. Now it carries more than 144,000 vehicles a day. Because engineers on the Brooklyn Bridge and other spans did not have sophisticated methods to accurately calculate loads, they made their best guess -- and then multiplied. The result was over-engineered, overbuilt structures that will probably outlast their younger brethren.
"The smaller the amount of knowledge you have, the bigger the factor of safety you use," said Joseph Yura, emeritus professor of civil engineering at the University of Texas. "In those days, you would do the calculations, and the chief engineer would just up everything by one size."
Today, bridge designers are again taking a more conservative approach. Spans are built with stronger materials, redundant support systems and super-strength steel that can withstand the pounding of thousands of vehicles a day.
But after World War II, with steel prices as high as the nation's confidence, engineers thought they could "minimize materials and maximize stresses," Kerley said.
The result was structures such as the Frederick Douglass Bridge over the Anacostia River. Built in 1950, the Douglass Bridge sits on only two main horizontal steel beams bolstered by vertical supports. The main beams were so thin that engineers at the time attached numerous vertical "stiffeners" to keep the beams from bending.
The stiffeners required a lot of manual welding, but "steel was more expensive and labor was less expensive" at the time, said Kathleen Penney, the District Department of Transportation's deputy chief engineer and director of a $27 million refurbishing of the bridge.
If the Douglass Bridge were built today, she said, the steel used would be 25 percent thicker, there would be more than two main beams in case one failed, and there would be far fewer welds and connections to minimize the number of corrosion and fatigue points.
"Collectively, there was more confidence in using less material," Penney said. "Since that time, we've had a lot of experiences that pushed us back to more conservative approaches."

Crossbow - We all know about this it sticks to the player and then BOOOM
Ballistic knife - Like the throwing knife but this get launched by a spring you get 2 ballistic knifes and for a split second you can see in the trailer that you can pick up the knife as one of my viewers told me I went and double check. and you can :)
Famas - D: its back dom dom dom in its prototype version fires automatic
L96AW (aka. AWM) sniper rifle - my friend told me this. this gun is when the guy gets raped by the ark angel/coolio predator missile.
Launch - The map where the spaceship goes boom
Camouflage - D: surprising its back....
Python Snub Nose - For a split second we see it
Claymore - Its a perk most probably :)
Boeing CH-47 Chinook - Its a big helicopter but turns out it only drops a care package just 1 not 2 but 1....
Attack Helicopter - Attack helicopter is back most probably a 7th killstreak
Dolphin dive - You see a guy dive across the screen which is probably a perk as people were talking about
M16A1 - We didn't see it here but it's going to be in the game and its the fully automatic version of the M16
Summit - Map we saw in the beginning of the video. Snowy terrain
Map callouts - in the mini map there's callouts (e.g: B4,C4 on launch)

Smithson Valley defense tames Canyon
Updated 12:14 am, Saturday, October 27, 2012
Everything worked for Smithson Valley in last week's rout of Judson, so much so that coach Larry Hill said it was like living on "Cloud 9."
The No. 2 Rangers came back to earth a bit Friday, but still pulled out a convincing 35-3 win over rival New Braunfels Canyon at Ranger Stadium.
Smithson Valley (8-0, 3-0 25-5A) had 376 yards, a far cry from last week's 520. It also had its share of miscues, including three interceptions.
"You can't always be clicking offensively," said Hill, who picked up his 200th win at the school. "There are going to be nights when it's tough."
The Rangers' defense didn't mind. Smithson Valley, led by linebacker Garrett Chubb, smothered Canyon's grinding rushing attack, holding the Cougars (2-6, 0-3) to two first downs and 58 total yards in the first half. Canyon finished with 166 yards.
Safety Diego Hodges capped off the defense's big night with a 32-yard interception for a touchdown in the fourth.
Sports Channel
"Our defense played so well that it just kind of kept us with the lead until we sorted out some things in the second half," Hill said.
Smithson Valley jumped to a 14-0 lead, thanks to a Canyon gift. The Cougars threw an incomplete pass on fourth down from their own 15. Three plays later, Lawrence Mattison walked in for a short touchdown.
Mattison finished with 20 carries for 91 yards and two TDs.
Quarterback Garrett Smith weaved his way for a 17-yard score to give the Rangers a 21-0 first-half lead.
Canyon, which was without starting running back George Williamson, couldn't capitalize on its three interceptions, one of which Kody Wilson made in the end zone. Joseph Aguirre had the other two picks.
The Cougars' defense held the Rangers scoreless in the third. Canyon then made it to the red zone for the first and only time before turning it over on downs.
The Rangers responded with two TDs in less than two minutes to seal the less-than-perfect win.
"It looked awful pretty to me," Hill said. "We'll take it any way we can get it."
