Maroon 5 Kicks Off Overexposed Tour Tonight in Ohio
Maroon 5 fans are used to seeing Adam Levine every week on TV as a coach on The Voice, but now, they'll be able to see him and the rest of the group in the flesh, as they hit the road for their Overexposed tour. The trek kicks off Wednesday night in Columbus, Ohio, with opening acts Neon Trees and Owl City.
The tour will run through the beginning of April, but guitarist James Valentine says that it won't affect Adam's schedule for the fourth season of The Voice, which begins in March, at all.
"The shooting for that is actually pretty condensed,You know, once they go into the live shows, of course, he needs to be there but the beginning of the season, they shoot back-to-back." In other words, the whole first part of season four has already been filmed, leaving Adam free to rock out on the road with the band.
"They've managed to be very respectful of our schedule," James says of NBC and The Voice. "And we've somehow made it all work. It means that Adam's very busy all the time, but it's all worked so far. I didn't really know that that would be the case."
James says the band is eager to get out on the road because now, with so many albums under their belt, they've got a lot more songs to play. "You know, it's just amazing, now that we have these four records, we can assemble a pretty solid set list, You know, we've been around long enough that we got a lot of tunes that people wanna hear. So, it's been fun putting these new sets together."
Unlike many bands who try to perform new material live and get push back from fans who just want to hear the hits, Maroon 5 is lucky that their "new stuff" includes some of their biggest smashes, including "Payphone," "One More Night" and their latest single, "Daylight."
"We're really happy that this album has done as well as it has 'cause we have some new songs that the fans are really excited about and some stuff off the new album that fans haven't heard live yet," says James of playing material from Overexposed. "So, it's gonna be great."
James is equally excited about touring with Neon Trees, the young pop/rock group known for their hits "Everybody Talks" and "Animal." James says he was impressed with them last year when he and his side project, JJAMZ, toured with them.
"They're amazing performers and I think it's gonna be great to have them out on the road because they're gonna, I think, raise the bar for us," says James. "Every night we're gonna have to really bring it after they're on stage 'cause they really rip it up."

The AUD, NZD and CAD saw fresh highs, while the USD majors saw mostly featureless trade in the period since the New York close yesterday. Japan's heavy data slate was largely upbeat, as CPI accelerated, unemployment fell and retail sales improved. This helped support Japanese and Asian equity markets, and indirectly the aforementioned dollar bloc currencies. China's official Securities Journal said that average level of money market rates is expected to rise, but this is not new news for market participants, and concerns about credit markets and slowing economic performance have been replaced by expectations that Beijing will unleash a fresh wave of stimulus. AUD-USD logged a fresh four-month high of 0.9295, subsequently correcting to the 0.9260 area. NZD-USD made its highest level since July 2011, of 0.8696. USD-CAD saw a three-week low of 1.1006. Elsewhere, EUR-USD was steady in the mid-1.37s, consolidating yesterday's drop, and USD-JPY continued to make time in the low 102s. Fed's Evans said that rates are likely to rise in the second half of 2015, which tallies with market expectations.
EUR-USD settled to a consolidation in the mid-1.37s after making a three-week low of 1.3728 on Thursday. The euro has been weaker against most of the other main currencies, and especially the in-vogue dollar-bloc units. The has occurred in the wake of a flurry of dovish ECB-speak, some of which singled out the euro as being too richly valued. We have been advocating a bearish view of EUR-USD as the ECB is likely to remain in dovish mode for sometime yet given the deflation threat and concerns about euro strength (as pointed to by Draghi last week), while we anticipate the U.S. economy to strengthen in Q2. Resistance is marked at 1.3790-1.3800. A daily close below 1.3750 would be a particularly bearish signal, which imply scope for a extension lower to the 1.3500 area.
USD-JPY has continued to make time in the low 102s. Japan's heavy data slate was largely upbeat, as CPI accelerated, unemployment fell and retail sales improved. This helped support Japanese and Asian equity markets, but cast little impact on the yen. USD-JPY looks stuck within a 100.00-105.00 band. The BoJ's aggressive reflation policy would favour continued yen weakness, but the threat of China slowdown is an offsetting yen-supportive force, via the possible association of negative consequences on global stock markets (given the yen's normal inverse correlation with risk appetite). Key support is at 101.00 and 101.36, the latter of which marks the position of the 200-day moving average.
There has been a sea change in sentiment for sterling over the last week. Incoming data have shown that economic recovery remains robust and we have had some relatively hawkish BoE-speak. The central bank's FPC (unit responsible for financial stability) said that it is "vigilant to emerging vulnerabilities," highlighting property market risks. Overall, the evident durability of the U.K. recovery, aided by a pick-up in conditions on the continent and recovering health in the banking sector, has underpinned sterling despite some recent protestations from some policymakers about the high level of sterling. We anticipate EUR-GBP will re-test the 0.8200 level and the Feb-16 low of 0.8157 over the coming weeks. We would also suggest sterling bulls consider GBP-JPY.
EUR-CHF has drifted lower after making a one-month peak of 1.2234 on Wednesday. The up move had reflected further unwinding of the Swiss franc's safe-haven premium. The cycle low of 1.2104 was left unchallenged during the recent risk-off phase. We see potential for a recovery to the 1.2300-1.2400 area, but this assumes there are no renewed flare-ups in geopolitical tensions. The 1.2200 is now marked as a support level. SNB's Jordan earlier in the month that the central bank would defend the 1.2000 limit if concerns about Ukraine drove the franc higher. We don't advise speculative accounts to hold long CHF exposures below 1.2100 given the threat of SNB intervention ahead of 1.2000. The SNB has signalled that it would only consider removing it if inflation was much higher (CPI dipped back to -0.2% y/y in February).
USD-CAD has broken below some key support levels over the last week, on route to a three-week low within a whisker of 1.1000. The strength in the Canadian dollar tallies with notably gains that have been seen in the AUD and NZD currencies. This in turn reflects a shift to a less pessimistic global outlook (to which the dollar-bloc currencies are sensitive to) than we saw recently with regard to the China slowdown theme (now offset by expectations of stimulus), and the threat from the geopolitical situation between Russia and the West. USD-CAD's mid-March surge to new cycle high of 1.1278 now looks to have been false breakout. We don't advise getting too carried away with a bearish USD-CAD view as the Fed vs BoC stance remains supportive. Key supports are pegged at 1.0955 (the Mar-6 low) and 1.0910 (the Feb-19 low).

MSI CX/CR640 notebooks
Unlike the other notebooks mentioned previously which focuses on either style or raw power, the new MSI CX640 (shown above) and CR640 notebooks differ in the sense that they are designed to offer data security to users who work with sensitive data. MSI claims that both the CX640 and CR640 comes bundled with "software and hardware technologies" to safeguard the internal hard disk from shock, while Time Stamp works in a manner similar to Apple's Time Machine to ensure that users can easily retrieve data from their hard disks in the event of an accidental file deletion.
No mention of the hardware specifications for both the CX640 and CR640 notebooks were made in the official press release, although the CX640's product page claims that the notebook will be offered with either an Intel Core i5-2410M processor or Core i3-2310M processor, and will come bundled with an NVIDIA GeForce GT520M graphics card, 1GB of memory and a hard disk with capacities ranging from 320GB to 640GB. The CR640 notebook is still not listed in MSI's product pages yet, although we gather than its specifications are not likely to differ too greatly from the CX640's.
MSI GT/GX680 notebooks
Also featured in MSI's new notebook launch are two gaming-grade notebooks for its G-series product line, and they come in the form of the MSI GT680 and GX680 notebook PCs.
According to MSI, both the new GT680 and GX680 notebooks will come bundled with a quad-core Intel Core i7 processor based off the Sandy Bridge microarchitecture, along with an NVIDIA graphics card which is capable of supporting DirectX11. Also included is MSI's own TDE or Turbo Drive Engine, an overclocking tool to help gamers get the most out of their hardware. The notebooks will also feature MSI's proprietary Dynaudio technology, which is supposedly capable of delivering realistic sound through the notebook's built-in speakers.
No specifications for the GT680 and GX680 notebooks have been announced.

AMHERST — A man was killed about 11 p.m. Tuesday after being struck by a Norfolk Southern train near the intersection of South Dewey and Middle Ridge roads. About 11:45 p.m., the body of the man lay spread-eagle on his back by the side of the train tracks about 200 yards from the railroad overpass and a half-mile from the railroad gates at South Dewey Road.
Leonard Hartle, of 7570 S. Dewey Road, said he frequently sees people walking on the tracks, often on their way to go fishing at nearby ponds, even though the area is private property owned by Norfolk Southern railroad.
Hartle, who has lived by the railroad crossing since 1984, said there have been many accidents involving trains and vehicles, but this was the first time he recalled a pedestrian being struck.
"Police can't sit out here 24 hours a day," Hartle said as he stood by a police cruiser and fire engine near the accident scene.
Chief Deputy Assistant Coroner Dana Parsons said the man is expected to be identified later today.

Shadow Harvest: Phantom Ops could have been the best GI Joe game ever. Too bad that Black Lion Studios didn't secure the proper licensing, because its rich history might have injected some desperately needed personality into this buggy, bland mess of a third-person shooter. Full of clichéd characters, generic plot points, a wonky mix of stealth and cover-shooting, and very little else, Shadow Harvest delivers an experience about as uninspired as its title suggests.
You move, shoot, grenade, take cover, use night-vision, crouch, and temporarily become invisible. You do not jump, vault cover, blind fire, or melee. Also, there are no multiplayer modes to speak of. If that narrows the game's appeal, at least it can boast something few others in the genre offer these days: a lengthy campaign, clocking in around the 8-10 hour mark.
The action splits between Delta operator Aron Alvarez and crossbow-toting, ponytailed secret agent Myra Lee. Both are sent to Mogadishu by their respective handlers to deal with a piracy problem that's escalated into a major high-tech threat courtesy of strongman Karim Kimosein. In your pursuit of stopping him, you track his weapon suppliers eventually to Dubai and Cuba.
Timely as all this sounds, the gameplay, graphics, audio, and general presentation feel like throwbacks to games I played five or ten years ago, minus their attention to detail. Red diamonds tag enemies a la Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter, but unlike a professional Tom Clancy terrorist, the enemy AI morons tend to step out into the open and stand still until either they run out of bullets or I give them one. They are, however, good enough to occasionally shoot Aron through his cover.
But they make the enemies Myra encounters look like Mensa members. While sneaking around in Splinter Cell-esque stealth missions, Myra's enemies only become mildly suspicious when she runs right in front of them in a well-lit room. This comes in handy, actually, since shadows don't impact your enemies' ability to see you; instead, detection is rendered purely through line-of-sight.
Ah, but Myra can also cloak herself for a burst of extra-sneaky fun. Even better, she can grab and stab Kimosein's witless chumps with nano-blades, or nail them with one-hit-kill nano-bolts, turning the corpse invisible. While a ridiculous game conceit, these magical weapons are great for taking out multiple sentries, and tripping any alarm insta-fails the mission. That said, guards almost never investigate anything unless you purposely lure them away with an attractor bolt.
While Myra technically covers the stealth angle, you'll spend Aron's missions creeping around, too. Black Harvest's difficulty revolves around a combination of non-regenerating health, realistic damage, no quick-saves, and a thin supply of med-packs. Three good hits will send you to the restart screen. In this game, you're either behind cover or you're dead.
To put it another way, things got pleasantly tense when I made a checkpoint with only 10 hit points left, half a level to go, and no obvious way to get more life. By the end of the mission, I had exactly one point left, and that's the kind of exhilaration everyone should experience. The difficulty might be Shadow Harvest's saving grace... if only its mechanical flaws didn't drag everything else down.
Cover is sticky and staggeringly inconsistent given its importance. Other glitches abound: I got stuck on the environment several times, forcing restarts; it's even possible to trip mission-failing alerts while you're stuck in a cut-scene. This allows you to fully savour a cast of voice actors who sound less convincingly human than the voice function on a GPS device, with dialogue to suit.
Even more damning, the complete lack of subtlety suggests a general inexperience in level design. The twisty maps rely heavily on gotcha-style ambushes and repetitive flanking manoeuvres. Exploding barrels frequently telegraph exactly when and where enemies will appear. Finding those precious med-packs involves hunting through dozens of thoroughly boring side-rooms.
Despite all this, I wouldn't label Shadow Harvest: Phantom Ops as horrible so much as glaringly unremarkable. The shooting works, and once Aron and Myra start working together you can tab between them mid-mission. That's a nice touch, and I can easily see Black Harvest developing a small, loyal following once it drops to the $15 range on Steam. Otherwise, the weak design, slim replay value, and superior alternatives are reasons enough to let this harvest remain uncollected.

HP Enterprise (HPE) is so enterprise-focused that enterprise is part of its name. The company offers IT products and services that include servers, storage, networking (wired and wireless), converged systems, and software and services geared, for the most part, to large companies with big information technology needs. About half of HPE's revenue comes from its technology infrastructure group. The US and Europe are its biggest markets. HPE is one of the two companies created with the breakup of do-it-all computer company Hewlett-Packard. HPE got the enterprise-focused capabilities while HP Inc. got personal systems and printers. On their own each company will be big enough to rank among the top 60 companies in the Fortune 100.
HPE reports results in four segments. The enterprise group puts together IT infrastructure for customers and it generates some 70% of HPE's revenue. Enterprise services, 37% of revenue, is HPE's professional consulting business. Software, 7%, enables customers to automate IT and run analytics. The financial services unit provides financing plans for customers who buy HPE products and services.
Key suppliers are Intel and Advanced Micro Devices, which supply the processors that go into many HPE computers.
Geographic Reach
Customers in the US account for 38% of HPE's revenue. Add Canada and Latin America and the Americas are responsible for 43% of revenue. European customers generate 38% of revenue with those in the Asia-Pacific region and Japan accounting for 19%.
HPE's manufacturing and assembly plants are in the Czech Republic, Mexico, Shanghai, and Singapore. The company operates major product development facilities, data centers, and Hewlett Packard Enterprise Labs around the world.
Sales and Marketing
HPE customers are mostly large companies and government agencies. The company reaches them through its own sales staff and resellers, distribution partners, OEMs, independent software vendors, system integrators, and consulting services companies. HPE account managers maintain relationships between the company's businesses and large enterprise customers.
HPE spent some $220 million on advertising in 2014 (ended October), up from $157 million and $167 million in 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Financial Performance
HPE broke out the financial results of its units from overall results of Hewlett-Packed for 2014 (ended October). HPE reported that revenue fell 3.9% to $55.1 billion in 2014 from 2013 and that net income fell about 20% to $1.6 billion for 2014. Cash flow from operations slowed to $6.9 billion in 2014 from $8.7 billion in 2013.
A factor in the revenue decrease was key account runoff in enterprise services. The profit decline was attributed to higher restructuring charges, investments in research and development and higher sales, general, and administrative expenses.
HPE has many strengths in enterprise computing. Its systems and services are among the market leaders in a number of areas. It has experienced developers and engineers to implement current systems as well as researchers to develop new technologies. It retained much of the intellectual property portfolio and global research and development capabilities that made the original HP a well-regarded and profitable company for so long. HPE also has a strong sales and support network around the world and longstanding relationships with channel partners and key customers.
As IT requirements change, HPE wants to help its customers find their way to new technologies. It is emphasizing itself as they key partner in helping customers move from traditional technology platforms to emerging and growing IT systems such as cloud computing, big data, enterprise security, applications, and mobile capabilities.
A key part of HPE's strategy to help customers set up and manage hybrid cloud systems that combine a company's own secure systems with the flexibility of public cloud systems.
Part of the reason to break up HP was to allow the new entities to concentrate on their core businesses. While HPE won't be distracted by personal computer and printer issues, it won't benefit from the profits thrown off by the high-margin printer business.
HPE doesn't lack for competitors in enterprise IT. Longtime rival Dell is in the process of buying storage system company EMC to get even bigger. Other competitors across HPE's portfolio include Cisco Systems, Lenovo Group Ltd., Oracle, Fujitsu Ltd., Inspur Co., Huawei Technologies, NetApp, Hitachi Ltd., Juniper Networks, and Arista Networks.
Mergers and Acquisitions
In August 2016 HPE bought SGI (formerly Silicon Graphics) for $275 million. SGI's high performance computing products are used for data analytics and data management. The plan is to combine SGI's supercomputing capabilities to beef up HPE's enterprise offerings to provide faster and higher capacity analytics to customers. The deal is expected to close in early 2017. SGI reported a loss of $39 million on revenue of $529 million in 2015.

TerraHawk's M.U.S.T. Unit Assists Officers with Monitoring of Super Bowl XLV
The Dallas Police Department had some surveillance assistance monitoring Super Bowl XLV parties and activities in and around Dallas during Superbowl weekend.
Dallas-based TerraHawk, LLC , at the request of Dallas Police, provided their M.U.S.T. unit, outfitted with the latest thermal and digital recording devices, to monitor and patrol various activities and parties slated for the downtown area.
Designed for ease of deployment during crowd control or emergency situations, TerraHawk's M.U.S.T. (mobile utility surveillance tower) allows occupants a 360 degree view of crowds from a 25-foot elevated platform.
The elevated vantage point of the surveillance module, which also serves as a command center, allows DPD the ability to dispatch ground forces to security threats while monitoring and recording situations for evidence retention.
Because the mobile rapid response unit is capable of quickly moving with changing situations, police agencies across the nation have found the two-minute deployment of the M.U.S.T. more convenient and easier to use than other trailer-mounted towers. With winter weather affecting traffic mobility in the Dallas area, the four wheel drive capability of the M.U.S.T. unit is proving to be another practical asset for Dallas officers to use during Super Bowl XLV.
TerraHawk, LLC is the only company in the United States owning a patent to manufacture a vehicle for deploying a surveillance module.

Mayor Eugene Sawyer`s plans to overhaul the Chicago Housing Authority have been frustrated, at least for a time, by the sudden illness of former Gov. Richard Ogilvie and the recalcitrance of two board members who are balking at the mayor`s request that they resign.
The mayor`s intentions, disclosed last week, included appointing a new CHA board to be led by Ogilvie and replacing four of the seven current board members. But Ogilvie was in critical condition Tuesday at Northwestern Memorial Hospital, where he was taken after suffering two heart attacks Monday.

System Restore never creates 'am system checkpoint'
My System Restore never automatically creates daily restore points like XP does with those daily 'AM system checkpoint' restore points. So everyday I have to remember to manually create one myself
What do you guys think about this?

Hi, have you checked the setting in "Control Panel" just to make sure it is enabled for your OS drive?

They also have daily Restore point in Vista and I was sure this was included in earlier builds but it seems they are only created now when installing or uninstalling programs or updates, if you want you can use one of Brinks tutorials that gives you a shortcut on your desktop so you can create an instant restore point.
System Restore Point Shortcut
|My System Specs
|07 Mar 2009
W7 Ultimate x64/W10 Pro x64 dual boot main build-remote pc W10 Pro x64 Insider Preview/W7 Pro x64
If you are dual booting XP along with 7 each time you boot into XP the 7 points are being wiped automatically. Plus while 7 is still in beta it won't necessarily follow XP's options in particular where you end up needing to create your own manually or when installing an update or new program where one is created there.
I've been running into the same thing but multiboot with Vista along with XP and 7 here at times where XP comes to mind again on that. But the desktop shortcut idea simplifies things by seeing 4 new restore points created in under 4 minutes.

Vista Ult 64 bit Seven Ult RTM x64
I'm not having the problem of wiped restore points, but I was just looking in task schedular at the Restore point task. It said that it runs a system start and that it ran sucessfully this morning, but when I check the list of available restore points, it is not listed.
|My System Specs
|07 Mar 2009
Romulinx2 - Not sure what you mean? Am I sure System Restore is enabled? I use it everyday to manually create restore points, and often use the restore points for various reasons.
Mr Grim - This shortcut helps, but is still not automatic. I wonder if I could set Task Scheduler to run this shortcut.
Night Hawk - not dual booting. It does appear that automatic restore points are indeed not a feature included in this beta.
|My System Specs
|07 Mar 2009
I can't be the only one experiencing this problem. I've uploaded a screenshot showing my task scheduler settings of System Restore. It should be creating restore points automatically, and it just simply is not doing it.
As you can see, it's set to run at midnight everyday. And it's set to run as soon as possible if it's delayed from the computer not being idle. Sometimes I'm awake after midnight watching movies or whatever on my pc, but I don't stay up and playing on my pc 24/7. The thing should run successfully at some point late at night.
I'll bet everybody has this same problem with build 7000, and I'm the only one that's found it. This always happens to me. I'm really diligent generally speaking about being prepared for things, and I always discover the failure points in systems before anyone else. It kind of sucks being me sometimes
|My System Specs
|07 Mar 2009
W7 Ultimate x64/W10 Pro x64 dual boot main build-remote pc W10 Pro x64 Insider Preview/W7 Pro x64
The only restore points seen on the 7000 builds here are those made manually or by an installer. So far with the 32bit 7 Ultimate setup to boot with XP and Vista alike I also take notice if 7 points are lost as well as Vista's.
The next boot into XP will see if 7 is still vulnerable since I just made several more using the shortcut method. As far as the usual automatic creation of points you are not alone as I mentioned before about 7 still being a beta release not a finished version.
Right now it is simply a testing and evalution as well as development stage not a retail full featured version with everything working like you would see in XP or Vista presently. Too often people seem to forget that one little detail expecting to see a regular version ready for use when it's not ready until done and marketed.
|My System Specs

W 7 64-bit Ultimate
This is the third system/OS (two different machines) that does not create restore points automatically; the first was an OEM HP machine with 32-bit Vista Home P, the second and third are this system with 64-bit Vista Ultimate and now Windows 7 7048 installed (none of the earlier builds did either); none of which ever creates restore points except when I create them with the afore mentioned tutorials.
There's also THIS to stop the XP dual boot delete of restore points.
Later Ted

Well, what about using that tutorial to create the shortcut, and then running the shortcut as a daily task in the task scheduler? Is that possible?

The Beatles and Las Vegas together in any sort of combination -- in the same sentence, even -- should be a sign that the end of the world is nigh.
Funny, then, how a documentary about just such a union can be so easy to watch.
All Together Now is a film about how the music of The Beatles and the gyrations of Cirque du Soleil are combined in a live Vegas show called Love.
The idea for this unexpected marriage of artists grew out of the friendship between the late George Harrison and Cirque du Soleil founder Guy Laliberte, who bonded over Grand Prix racing events.
The two men agreed that it would be very cool to create a show that featured the music of The Beatles and the complicated circus performances of Cirque, but it was a long road from friendship to fruition -- Harrison did not live long enough to see the final production.
Many, many thousands of others did, however, as the show opened in 2006 and continues to play at the Mirage Hotel in Vegas.
All Together Now is a documentary about the creation of the Vegas show. As you'd expect, the movie shows archival footage of the Beatles, present-day interviews with Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr and footage of the Cirque troupe putting the show together from start to finish.
The real stars of the movie, however, are Beatles' producer Sir George Martin and his son, Giles Martin, who worked shoulder to shoulder to ensure that the music for the show was perfect.
Composed new arrangement
The patrician Sir George (and his son) worked for 18 months going over the original Beatles masters, using current technology to reshape the work so that it fit the show and the space.
Sir George even wrote a new arrangement to accompany an alternative version of George Harrison's While My Guitar Gently Weeps, and the film shows the string players recording their part. It's a surprisingly moving sequence.
Beatles' widows Olivia Harrison and Yoko Ono are featured and interviewed in the film, with both women offering suggestions, asking hard questions and generally contributing to the final show. (Ono chews gum and makes notes during rehearsals, and has the good sense to object to a particularly literal and dopey interpretation of some lyrics.)
There is a bizarre moment in the movie when the camera picks out George Harrison in the Vegas theatre; it's his son Dhani, of course, but the 30-year-old looks exactly like his father did at the height of Beatlemania. Bit of a shock, that.
Nostalgia for The Beatles and for their '60s scene would be the main reason to see All Together Now.
A countdown to the opening of Love in Vegas goes right to the last hour before the sparkly premiere, but all that registers zero on the anticipation scale, despite all the celebs who turned up for the opening.
The snippets of the live show featured in this documentary make it look exactly as you might expect, in a Vegas kind of way, but that's not really the point.
What counts in All Together Now are the little moments away from the main action, such as Paul McCartney giving the Cirque performers a little pep talk.
"One day this will all seem like a long time ago," says the cute Beatle, "so savour the moment."
Well put, Sir Paul.
(This film is rated PG)

Double Birthday Parties
I keep getting invited to birthday parties for multiple kids.
I see the draw - you share the expense and people who know you both don't have to spend time at 2 parties.
but the people who only know you........... I keep buying a gift for the other kid too and I'm sorta tired of it. I don't know this kid, but it seems rude to bring a gift for 1 and not the other kid. So, I do, but it's getting expensive for random strangers that I don't know and don't usually have time to bond with during a birthday party.
the alternative is just don't go.. but parties are fun (debateable)!
what do you do? Do you always take gifts for both kids? Do you just take a gift for the kid you know? Do you do what I think I'm gonna do and just get the kid I know a gift and skip the party and have a playdate? lol
Re: Double Birthday Parties
I'd just buy a gift for the child I knew, and give a card to the other. They are getting a ton of gifts, they aren't even going to realize who most of them are from, especially if it's a big party. Which it sounds like they are.
Re: Double Birthday Parties
wow...never heard of such a thing. But I would only give a gift to the kid I knew. Or do a small small $5 gift for the other kid.
:hugs: I could see how that could get tiresome.
Re: Double Birthday Parties
If I've never met the other kid, I would probably not bring a gift for that child.
Re: Double Birthday Parties
thanks, that makes me feel better :)
the last party, you have a parent helping a 1yo open the gifts and she has no clue who I am - 'Emily?' and I have to wave.. and really?
but I hate to just not go for the mom and kid that I DO know.
I think I'll just get a gift for the 1 kid this time then.
Re: Double Birthday Parties
Bring a gift for the kid you know.
If you are bored, look up my thread from here back in July about my family members deciding (without discussing it with me first) that when they came down to celebrate my DS's birthday, they were going to celebrate their DD's birthday at the same time. At my house. At my DS's birthday. To be fair, it was my mother and her sister who is GM to the other child who planned this. Not the childs parents. It was a MESS and I was very upset because I don't care for joint birthday parties and no one even asked about it. The party went off ok, but I had already invited other people (outside the family) and I know it was a little awkward for them. One backed out at the last minute, I don't know if her reason was valid or if she felt obligated to buy a second gift and couldn't afford it, etc.
As the PARENT though, I would not have expected people to buy for both kids since they didn't know the other child. And I felt really bad because I felt like I had to let my friends know that another kid was going to be there, so I made sure to mention that a gift for the other child was unnecessary and she would have plently of gifts from "her" side of the family.
Both kids were opening presents at the same time basically, (which was fine) so honestly no one would have even noticed that person A and B only bought for kid #2, YKWIM?
Re: Double Birthday Parties
We had a double birthday party for my DD2 in May with her best friend. They were turning 2, their birthdays are 1 week apart, and they have all the same friends and are in the same classes. So it worked well for us.
So anyway, there is no need to buy a gift or a card for the child that you don't know.
Re: Double Birthday Parties
We do double birthday parties. DD and her best friend have the same brithday and up until recently went to the same daycare. We didn't want them competing for guests or missing each others party so we do the birthdays together. We've done three that way now.
We never expect gifts from the guests who only know the friend. Well we never expect gifts period, but it's never been an issue. The ones who know both generally bring something for both but otherwise they only bring for the child they know.
Re: Double Birthday Parties
We do a double birthday party for my 5 yo dd and her BFF. If someone is a friend or family member of just one kid, then they just get a present for the one kid.
Personally, since her BFF has lots of family in the area and we have only one or two "family friends" that we invite, the other girl always gets more presents, but my daughter doesn't even know. We put all the presents in one big pile and open split them up to open after the party at home. It is never awkward for us and I wouldnt want all the extra presents either!
Re: Double Birthday Parties
As the pp have said just bring one gift for the kid you know.
I have my kids bdays together (g/b who just turned 3 and 9) on the invites, for the people that know both the kids like family and close friends I put both names on the invite. For my daughter's friends who she wanted to invite I only put her name on the invite since they don't know my son.
When I was 11 or 12, my friend and I had a party together, our bdays are 2 days apart. The party was at her house, it was our friends, and mostly her family, my family didnt live near so only my mom and sister were there for me. We both got gifts, but none of her family brought gifts for me and I didn't think it was wrong, or rude and it didn't bother me at all.

On the heels of yet another multi-hour meeting with Russian foreign minister Lavrov, John Kerry takes to the podium to explain next steps...
Live stream below:
Brhrhrhrhrhr, it's cold here in Moscow, Wilbur.
Fuck you!
You're in over your head!!
How many times has this redline moved in the last three weeks?
They move with the wind because their on the flags in the 2nd picture. Just don't fart and I think we'll be alright where they are now.
Maybe horseface could put his bogus swiftie medals on a rail gun and aim it at the Kremlin.
(posted in next thread, too.)
I don't think that crackerjack-grade pot metal would keep its integrity between the rails. In fact, seeing Kerry's face melt off between Putin's visage and that of the American public proves that it doesn't.
I like the old thinner-faced, liberal-leaning-but-tough, navy vet, skull&bones-but-can't-talk-about-it John Kerry. The newer one looks like a circus freak. How can plastic surgery actually make that head look bigger?
Kerry: "Heeee Haaawwwww" (cue jack-ass sound)
To think this is about red lines is naivite.
These guys talk, discuss, negotiate ... thats about it. It is like trading horses, i will trade you this one for the other one etc. The key is who will be sold out to whom ... thats about it.
His face looks more and more bizarre all the time, like some hollywood doctor is stuffing cotton balls under his skin. Next stop, plastic surgery disaster hall of fame. How are we supposed to take you seriously dude? Running foreign policy is serious business, not for effete mirror gazers and poofters. You and the mocha monkey are a HUGE FUCKING JOKE... I just wish it was actually funny.
who looks like the mark at the poker table...kerry can't find the mark, well you all know the answer..LOL
Hey, is that a copy of "Atlas Shrugged" in the bookcase????
Those in the background sound giddy, laughing cracking jokes, perhaps they know that the Obama/Kerry feckless attempt to sanction aren't going to end well!!!
HOPEFULLY they don't know the microphone is ON and we may hear something very interesting
before the uninteresting part - where Kerry actually appears and speaks.
Sherwin Williams bitchez
And you're fighting the very thing you and the bankstas aspire for the US to impose - financial leverage. GFY.
If Lurch were not so funny to look at, one might be worried at what is coming out of his mouth. How can these idiots think they are going to get away with hijacking the Ukraine right from under Putin's nose? It isn't going to happen, no matter how hard Kerry huffs and puffs, Putin knows his house isn't going to get blown down.
Should China provide military aid to Texas to secede from the union ?
Or Hawaii or Alaska?? How would Americas feel about that??? The idea, we are thinking this is our fight or place to be sticking our long noses in, is insanity!!
No need, we can take care of ourselves. Besides, Texas doesn't have to secede as it never ceded it's territories to the federal government in the first place.
Really? You've been overrun with mexicans. For all intents and purposes you have ceded to mexico. Maybe one day china will come and help you rejoin the US.
Setting aside for a moment the fact that this is all theater.
Should/would the US sit idly by while China or Russia funded the overthrow of the Canadian or Mexican governments by sworn enemies of the US?
There are no "good" guys in this situation, but I would say that it appears the Russian's have fired less shots in their take over of Crimea, than were fired in that Kiev square.
Hey, atleast the US Gov. is being consistant about secession.
They will one day.
How can there be a "Live Feed"
when the speaker is brain dead ?
Of course these talks are difficult.
When one side absolutely does not give a fuck about what you say it's difficult to get them to change their minds.
Russia owns Crimea ... it's fucking DONE.
Why does everyone I know keep calling him John Kohn...you mean this entry http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Kerry aint true...?
I have a box of crayons for horse man.
Is that the red line, Kerry's tie today? ...o, hold on, I think it's a 'peach salmon' or maybe a 'sweet nectar' or most likely a 'rosy outlook'. **
** real colors from a color chart no less
Damage control and positve spin. Loosing is winning.
"Peace with Honor"
Let's get outta here...
So by that theory, does that mean that tightening is losing?
There is no truth in the rumour that Kerry is running but is odds on to lose in the Dubai al Maktoum Godolphin Stakes at 3:30p this weekend.
The question to ask yourself is why we now seem to be so determined to pick a fight with Russia, our all time (at least in the movies) greatest boogey man. What is about to go so horribly wrong here that we need to blame it on them?
@Whoa Dammit - the first mistake IMO is using the terms 'we' and 'our'
The American people are in no mood for another war (opinion against taking action in Syria was overwhelming), much less one over a region which had posed no threat to them, but could potentially go thermonuclear.
At the speed at which the situation moves ... new red line, very soon, in Obama's bedroom.
Click image for live feed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2PP7et-DHg
Wondering if Crimea actually gets mentioned, or if its only a discussion on gold, UST, USD, CNY, Oil, and Gas.
The only funny thing in this whole situation is the company of clowns you guys in the States are throwing at this crisis.
Oh, to see Kerry and 10 other diplomats pop out of a mini-cooper.
Quite true! In fact, what this problem needs is Roger Moore launching himself through a natgas pipeline. I'm sorry for veering.

The Amador Valley High School Mock Trial team is gearing up for California state finals after beating Oakland's Bishop O'Dowd High School to win the Alameda County championship.
The AVHS squad outperformed 11 high school teams in Alameda County to qualify for state competition in Sacramento, being held March 23-25. Its season record includes a victory over American High School, Fremont, in the county semifinals.
The team has advanced to the California state finals in four of the past six years.
Attorneys Steve Sherman and Jerry Prettyman are coaching the 20-member Amador Valley squad. Sherman is a partner at Toby & Sherman, a boutique law firm in Pleasanton specializing in business and real estate. Prettyman is a patent and intellectual property attorney, also in Pleasanton.
A matching grant of $1,500 from Cycling for a Cause, a Pleasanton-based bicycle riders charity, and Pleasanton North Rotary Foundation supports the local program.
More than 8,000 students competed in the California's mock trial program this year, and high schools from 37 California counties will compete for the state title.
Each team consists of separate prosecution and defense squads. Other students assume the roles of bailiff, timekeeper, courtroom artist and courtroom journalist, according to rules established by the program's sponsor, the Constitutional Rights Foundation.
Trials begin with a pretrial attorney who presents a constitutional law argument about whether specific evidence or a charge should be excluded. The pretrial issue this year is whether a supposed statute restricting the public's ability to carry concealed weapons violates the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
The judges interrupt competitors frequently with questions regarding the facts or application of different cases. A competitive advantage goes to mock trial attorneys with a superior knowledge of the rules of evidence to make or respond to objections and cross examine the other side's witnesses.
Team members are Shreya Gupta, president of the 2012 team, Nima Aminian, Sara Borchers, Kevin Chen, Gabriella Chikhani, Chloe Connolly, Sheniqua Diaz, Vignesh Kalidas, Sally Kim, Kathryn Kitayama, Ryuka Ko, Shilpa Krish, Hunter Laine, Janel Lee, Samuel Lyou, Nick Powell, Sumana Rallapalli, Jennifer Tao, Rushan Vipani, Edward Wang and Eve Yuan.

HOLLYWOOD, July 8 (UPI) -- Heartthrob Scott Wolf, last seen as "Party of Five's" Baily Salinger, returns to U.S. TV this fall as a doctor on the WB's "Everwood."
Wolf has been cast as Dr. Jake Hanson, a patient-stealing physician who moves to Everwood, Colo., from California, the New York Post reported Wednesday.
Wolf has been in a number of films since the end of "Party's" run, but this marks his return to the small screen in a starring role.
"Everwood" is an ensemble drama centered around a brain surgeon played by Treat Williams who moves his family from Manhattan to Everwood after the death of his wife.
The last prime time Jake Hanson, by the way, was Grant Show's frequently shirtless character on Fox's long running "Melrose Place."

VegInspiration. Human Limitations
Even those who acknowledge that our treatment of animals is indeed a great evil may feel that it is, like the other evils in our world, simply a product of human limitations, such as ignorance, pride, selfishness, fear, and so forth. According to this view, the horror we inflict on animals is a problem, but not a fundamental cause of our problems—and, because it's a problem for animals, who are less important than us humans, it's a lesser problem.

North Dakota is suing Minnesota over a law that restricts the sale of coal-generated electricity.
The Minnesota law was passed in 2007 in an attempt to encourage cleaner energy sources. State lawmakers eased the restrictions on North Dakota electricity this year, but Gov. Mark Dayton vetoed the changes.
North Dakota Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem said the law is unconstitutional because it allows Minnesota to regulate North Dakota businesses.
"It is vastly detrimental to the citizens of Minnesota who are trying to struggle out of the economic difficulties," Stenehjem said. "Clearly you'll need electricity that's affordable to do that."
Stenehjem said Minnesota is the largest consumer of electricity generated by North Dakota coal fired power plants.
"If we want to build new power plants or even refurbish existing power plants we are required to come hat in hand to the bureaucrats in Minnesota and ask for their permission to sell a product at a reasonable price to the citizens of Minnesota," he said. "That, I think, violates the terms of the commerce clause of the U.S. Constitution."
Dayton's office didn't respond to requests for a comment on the lawsuit.

I adopted Wallaby just over three weeks ago and absolutely love him. He's curious about everything, and has to investigate (and put in his mouth) anything he can find. He is always game to have his belly rubbed and to meet new people and dogs. Despite his size, he's a brave little pup and has become great friends with a pitbull and American bulldog over 5 times his weight!View Profile

It all started with two murders. The tragic cases of Polly Klaas, the 12-year-old Petaluma girl who was kidnapped and murdered by parolee Richard Allen Davis on Oct. 1, 1993, and Kimber Reynolds, an 18-year-old from Fresno murdered in 1992 during a purse-snatching incident, galvanized the "tough on crime" agenda in California. In response, voters in 1994 approved Proposition 184, established to put violent career criminals behind bars for life.
But in the nearly 20 years since "three strikes" went into effect, many nonviolent offenders have been swept up in an overreaching, anti-crime net.
"We need prisons for people who prey upon society," says John Abrahams, a retired Sonoma County public defender who supports Proposition 36, a November ballot initiative that would reduce prison sentences served by qualified third-strikers whose current offense is a nonserious, nonviolent felony. "We don't need to lock up people for life who steal pizza or bicycles from garages, or drug offenders, things like that."
Drafted by lawyers at the NAACP Legal Defense Fund and the Stanford Law School, the initiative is modeled after successful "three strikes" sentencing policy implemented in Los Angeles County by District Attorney Steve Cooley. The Legislative Analyst's Office estimates that Proposition 36 would save the state approximately $70 million a year in the beginning and $90 million yearly after that.
Currently, there are 140,000 inmates in state prisons; 33,000 of those are second-strikers and 9,000 are third-strikers. Under Proposition 36, 2,800 third-strikers would be eligible for re-sentencing, potentially reducing their prison sentences from life in prison. Excluded from the measure are those whose previous crimes involved sex offenses, drug trafficking, homicide, firearms or weapons of mass destruction.
Those fighting for "three strikes" reform say that an aging prison population is taxing the prison system, since prisoners over the age of 50 tend to have higher medical needs. The 2011 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that crowded conditions in California prisons amount to "cruel and unusual punishment" has compounded the crisis.
Racial disparity in court sentencing is another area of concern, according to Elsa Chen, an associate professor of political science at Santa Clara University. At a Sept. 19 legislative hearing, Chen said that although African-Americans make up just 6.2 percent of California's population, they make up 34 percent of second-strikers and 44 percent of third-strikers. African-Americans have a 47 percent higher chance of receiving third-strike sentencing than Caucasians.
This disparity often originates at the county level, where the district attorney and judges have prosecutorial and judicial discretion over who receives a strike and who doesn't.
The opposition to Proposition 36 includes the California District Attorneys Association, the Peace Officers Research Association and Crime Victims United. Marc Klaas, father of Polly Klaas and founder of the KlaasKids Foundation for Children, says that while he initially thought "three strikes" was too broad, his concerns have been addressed in multiple ways.
"'Three strikes' is not about the final offense," says Klaas. "'Three strikes' is about criminal history. Each of those individuals had a choice in their life, knowing full well that if they committed another crime they would find themselves in prison for life, but they chose to commit the crime anyway."
Klaas says the implementation of "three strikes" comes down to the ability of prosecutors to analyze the defendant's history and determine how to prosecute. This is a system that works, he says. "The only reason for a person to vote for Proposition 36 is if they believe the criminal justice system has broken down," adds Klaas.
Steve Fabian, a Santa Rosa criminal defense attorney, says that, on the contrary, the criminal justice system is in crisis. He has concerns about the aging striker population. No "three strikes" offenders have been paroled since the law went into effect in 1994.
"When you get old, the likelihood of recidivism starts dropping dramatically," he says. "We're warehousing people who are unlikely to commit more crimes. That's forcing the release of young people who are more likely to commit crimes. How much do we want to spend to lock up someone who's never committed a violent crime versus having rehabilitation programs?"
If Proposition 36 becomes law, violent criminals like Richard Allen Davis would not qualify for re-sentencing.
"California has the strictest and harshest 'three strikes' law in the country," says Fabian. "The proposition is a minor fine-tuning of the law. If it passes, California would still have the strictest 'three strikes' law. It won't overturn everything, but it will make changes."
Sonoma County District Attorney Jill Ravich moderates a forum on propositions 34 and 36, with Steve Fabian, Marc Klaas and others on Sunday, Oct. 14, at Congregation Shomrei Torah, 2600 Bennett Valley Road, Santa Rosa. 3pm. Free. 707.578.5519..

NORTH RIDGEVILLE — Mayor David Gillock said Tuesday night he felt the city was leveraging its dollars in smart fashion when it came to the $8 million bond issue on the primary ballot to cover the city's share of the $64.8 million widening of Center Ridge and Lear-Nagle roads.
"Being a big-dollar issue, I figured it would be close," Gillock said of the .86-mill levy, which failed by a vote of 2,179 to 2,036, or 52 percent to 48 percent, according to unofficial election results.
"Everybody has said we need sidewalks and to fix the roads, and with a cost of $30 a year I was pretty convinced it would pass," Gillock said. "I guess we didn't the message across."
Owners of homes valued at $100,000 would have paid $30.10 a year for the 20-year bond issue.
Gillock cited the low turnout as one factor in the bond issue's defeat.
With both projects not slated to go out for bids until 2016, the city will try again to win approval for the bond issue – probably in November.
"This is the highest priority in the city," Gillock said. "We look to bring it back when there will be a much bigger (voter) turnout that should make a difference."
The 20-year bond issue was the final piece of the funding pie for the pair of projects that have been bandied about for more than 25 years.
"This doesn't set the project back," Gillock said. "The construction dollars are still there. And right-of-way acquisition and other components remain on schedule."
The bond issue would have permitted the city to borrow up to $8 million to cover the city's 12.5 percent share of improving both roads.
Expansion of Center Ridge Road, the city's main east-west traffic artery, has been a major goal for years, due to increasing traffic congestion and high volume of accidents.
State and federal funds are to pay the bulk of the projected $51.7 million cost of widening a 2.3-mile stretch of Center Ridge from three to five lanes between Stoney Ridge Road in the western end of town to Lear-Nagle Road toward the east.
Construction is expected to take two years and be finished in 2018.
A similar timeline is planned for the $13 million Lear-Nagle project, which would expand that road from two to three lanes from Center Ridge to Lorain roads.

I recently returned from nearly two weeks in Nicaragua. The trip was the field component of Northern Arizona University's course "Tropical Forest Insect Ecology" for which I am one of the instructors. With a thousand things to do before departure--including taking exams, writing papers, packing, arranging for mail to be held and newspapers to be stopped, attending to vaccinations and anti-malarial medications, and all the other tasks required before a trip out of the country--I was sure that the students would be pretty overwhelmed by the time we began our 30-hour journey to the remote field station on an island in the middle of Lake Nicaragua.
As we talked about what the final 24 hours before departure had been like for each of us, a single theme of angst came up: The most stressful thing for many in the group was having to leave their dogs behind. Nearly half of them have dogs. I was very impressed with the lengths that the students went in arranging the best care for their dogs while they were gone. All had friends or family who were stepping up to care for the dogs during the students' absence. In one case, a student's long distance boyfriend had flown in from the East Coast to watch her dog while she was away. That is clearly responsible dedication from all parties, since the time he spent away from home was not time that this couple could be together. I hear a lot about how college students are not responsible with their pets, and I found that at least with this group, that is not true at all. Most of these students travel with their pets most of the time, but that is not possible (nor would it be safe for the dogs) when traveling to Nicaragua.
Like the very best dog guardians, students or not, these people made sure that their dogs were well cared for during their absence. If you must travel without your pets, what do you do to arrange for their care?

THE family of a great-grandmother who was stabbed to death in her home have paid tribute to her as they prepare for her funeral.
Pamela Glen, also known as Pamela Turner, died on October 20 at her flat in the Spring Hill area of Darlington.
A post-mortem examination found that she died from stab wounds.
Loading article content
Ms Glen's daughters, Arna McCabe and Janine Wilby, described their mother as a strong woman who loved her family.
Ms Glen, 61, had six grandchildren and one great-grandchild.
Her son-in-law, Michael Mc- Cabe, who spoke on behalf of the family, said: "She was a strong character. She was very loving.
"She was a fantastic mother- in law. We are a very strong family and we all stick together.
"The whole thing still has not really sunk in yet and now we have to go through the funeral.
We wanted to make a family tribute to her."
Ms Glen's funeral will take place at 11.45am on Monday, November 26 at Darlington Crematorium. Close friends and family are asked to gather before at 10 Ridgeway, in Darlington, for the cortege.
Flowers should be sent to 10 Ridgeway.
Mrs McCabe and Mrs Wilby thanked police for everything they have done for the family since Ms Glen's death. They also thanked funeral director Saint and Foster for its help and support, and Mr McCabe thanked his employer, steelmakers SSI, for its support.
Police were called to Ms Glen's flat after reports that a woman had been stabbed.
Despite the efforts of neighbours, who came to her aid as she lay wounded, she died in the James Cook University Hospital, Middlesbrough, in the early hours of October 20.
Joseph William Turner, 61, of Sanderson Street, Darlington, appeared in court last month charged with murder.
He was remanded in custody to appear at Teesside Crown Court on January 8.

not really
Not a bad review, I'm glad you avoided talking about their background. I'd say try and tie all your ideas together (e.g. for this album you could talk more about how this album incorporates a stronger narrative sense than the previous album, then give specific examples of this). Dunno, just my thoughts.
I enjoyed "One" so I should probably hear this.

Quite a few people were put off by how negative my Ulver review seemed so I decided to ease up on the negative criticism on this one.

Adrian vows to go deep, questions ump
Adrian vows to go deep, questions ump
"I'll start hitting home runs. I'll hit a home run tomorrow," Gonzalez said after the Red Sox's 2-1 loss to the Rays.
Gonzalez has just two home runs this season, the most recent coming on April 17 against the Rangers at Fenway.
In Wednesday's loss, Gonzalez had a chance to tie the game with a home run in the eighth. Instead, he struck out on five pitches against Joel Peralta. What really irked Gonzalez was the first pitch, a splitter, that was called a strike by home-plate umpire Hunter Wendelstedt.
"It wasn't even close," Gonzalez said. "You're up there trying to have a professional at-bat and look for a pitch to hit and that's called? Yesterday there were a couple of pitches that weren't close and were called strikes and it put me in two strikes, and then you have to protect. It's just unfortunate. You wish you could keep them on the plate and force them to come in, but that doesn't happen anymore."
Perhaps Gonzalez would be more tolerant of calls like that if his power numbers were up to par.
Does Gonzalez think calls like that have been habitual from umpires this season?
"Not every time," Gonzalez said. "Just at times. When they're good, you can be comfortable up there. You know what the strike zone is. When they're not, you have to go up there and hack. It's frustrating."
Gonzalez knows that arguing with umpires won't win him any favors.
"It doesn't do any good," Gonzalez said. "You say something and then you start letting it get into your head and then it starts messing with your at-bat and your approach and what you're trying to do. You get thrown out -- I'm the one who gets punished for it. It's not him for not making the wrong call."
Slugger David Ortiz was happy to hear the news that Gonzalez was expecting to go deep on Thursday.
"Good. That's good stuff. I can't wait," said Ortiz. "I know my pinata killer is going to be fine. I've got money on him. I've got money on the killer, because I know that pinata at some point is going to have to drop down."
Gonzalez likes to joke with all of his teammates that he hits high pitches out of the park because of all the pinatas he tried to knock down at parties during his youth.

New Delhi: In signals that he could well be the next Prime Ministerial candidate, Congress today declared that Rahul Gandhi will lead UPA's campaign in the 2014 Lok Sabha elections and take up an "important responsibility" in the party very soon.
Congress spokesperson PC Chacko appeared confident a third term for the UPA with the party planning to go for both ties-ups before and after the polls in a big way. To a specific question whether Mr Gandhi will be projected as the Prime Ministerial candidate in the polls, he said that issue will come up after the elections and it was for party MPs to decide.
He also added that Prime Minister Manmohan Singh will be at the helm till 2014. "This has no relation. He is the Prime Minister. This government will continue till 2014. He is the Prime Minister till 2014," Mr Chacko said when asked about Mr Singh's fate if Mr Gandhi is to be projected in the next elections.
He also hinted that Rahul Gandhi may also replace his mother Sonia as the party president. "She is the President now. She will be the patron. She will be the supreme leader of the party," he said.
Mr Chacko said that Mr Gandhi has agreed to assume more responsibilities following "overwhelming" demand by the party men.
"The party is overwhelmingly in favour of Rahul Gandhi taking a larger responsibility. He was not very willing. Now he has agreed to it. He will lead UPA's election campaign for 2014," he said.
Addressing a public meeting in Vadodara, Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde had said yesterday, "Congress is clear on the suitability and capability of party general secretary Rahul Gandhi for the post of Prime Minister. Senior and young party leaders have been projecting him for this post".
In a departure from the go-it alone theory propounded by some in the party in the past, Mr Chacko said, "We recognise the necessity of coalition politics".
A party functionary, not willing to be named, said, "We will focus on pre-poll and post-poll allies. We are recognising the reality of coalition politics in India. We cannot be unrealistic."
The assertions by party leaders come at a time when there is talk of formation of a non-Congress non-BJP formation in the political arena.
"We are recognising the reality of coalition politics in India," a leader said adding to the growing feeling in the party in favour of strong alliances.
Rahul Gandhi himself was one of the main factors the party's decision to go it alone in the Assembly elections in Bihar and Uttar Pradesh and suffered badly.
The party has already set up a Committee headed by Mr Gandhi for the 2014 Lok Sabha elections. One of the sub-committees set up is look for pre-poll alliances.
To a question whether Mr Gandhi will lead Congress campaign or UPA's election campaign, the leader said that election will be fought on UPA platform and not on Congress platform.
The assertions by party leaders have come ahead of Congress' Chintan Baithak to be organised in Jaipur in January, where the party is likely to take close look on the issue of alliances.

Having renegotiated a new deal after signing an incentive-based one in his first Victory season, Kewell walked away from $1m a season through to 2014.
Now Kewell is about to sign an A-League minimum wage agreement for $48,000.
Former Victory teammate Archie Thompson, who is in Japan with the Socceroos, revealed that Kewell had been in touch this week.
"I actually text him last night to see how he was and he text me back saying that I'll be back and we'll play golf soon," Thompson said yesterday.
"So whether that was an indication that he was going to sign at Heart, I hope so.
"I'd still like him to be at Victory because most of the players here think he's still got so much to offer.
"He's always controversial when it comes to his changing of clubs (laughs).
"You can't hate on him, he left for family reasons and you can't begrudge a player choosing family over football."
Kewell had hoped to sign with an English club to be close to his wife and ill mother-in-law but no firm offers eventuated.
After 10 months out of the game Kewell signed in Qatar in April, completing a six-week stint as injury replacement for Mark Bresciano at Al Gharafa, scoring one goal in five appearances.
Newcastle Jets were favourites to sign Kewell having remained in regular contact but seven months after he and coach John Aloisi met in Melbourne, the deal finally looks to be concluded.
Another Socceroos teammate Mark Milligan spent half a season with Kewell at Victory.
"It's not a massive surprise because we all know how much Harry loved being in Melbourne," Milligan said.
"It would definitely add to the rivalry but it's good for him and good for Australian football."
Thompson believes Kewell still has plenty to offer club and country.
"You couldn't judge him on that season because we were poor right across the park and the whole club was a debacle that year and it would've been hard for Messi to weave some magic that year," he said.
"You can't say that he's past it because towards the end of that season he was fit and starting to play some good football and I'm sure Ange (Postecoglou) would've loved him.
"So we want him to put kilometres in the legs because of the World Cup because he's a key player."
