Jigger's To Re-Open On Friday
Jigger's Diner, a popular breakfast spot on Main Street that has been closed since August, will re-open Friday.

Jigger's, the popular Main Street diner that has been closed since August, will re-open on Friday, said owner Iva Reynhout after making a brief appearance at a Town Council meeting on Monday night.
"It's very good news," she said, in front of Town Hall, after leaving the Council meeting. "I'm sure I'll have some happy customers."
On Monday night, as she spoke to a gaggle of reporters in front of Town Hall after the Council approved her application for a new food service license, a long-time customer walked by and asked what was happening with her breakfast restaurant. When she told him she planned to open on Friday, the man smiled and said, "Fantastic."
Reynhout plans to open Jigger's on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, from 6am to 1pm for the foreseeable future, she said. "I need to be able to keep costs down," she said. "Hopefully we'll be open more, but this is it for now."
Jigger's was closed by the state Department of Revenue in August for not paying sales taxes. Reynhout said she was able to make a payment to the state and work out a payment plan to for the remainder of the outstanding money owed.
A local institution that was almost always crowded for breakfast, Jigger's is also well-known around the state and region. The Food Network recently called it the best breakfast in Rhode Island. The antique 1947 Worcester Lunch Car, has been there since the 1950's, and there has been a diner in that location at 145 Main St. since 1917.
Reynhout said the downtown diner is still for sale. In August, her real estate agent Marilyn Keisel said the restaurant was for sale for $379,750.

Jigger's Is Back
Jiggers Is Back

Main Street seemed whole again Friday morning. That's because Jiggers, the popular downtown diner, was open for breakfast once again after being closed since late August for not paying its state sales taxes.
"I was lost," said Tom Harris, who lives in downtown East Greenwich and said he used to eat breakfast at Jigger's almost every morning.
At 7am on Friday, he was found, as he enjoyed his favorite meal once at again at the East Greenwich institution that has been hosting people for breakfast since 1917. The 1947 36-seat Worcester Lunchcar that currently occupies the spot has been there since the 1950's.
"It's just a great place," Harris said. "I love the atmosphere."
On the other side of the bar, owner Iva Reynhout was just as pleased to see Harris, as he was to see her.
"I can't tell you how happy I am to see these faces again," she said. "Relieved. That's the word."
Reynhout's restaurant was shut down in August by the state Department of Revenue for not paying sales taxes collected from customers. In December, she agreed to a payment plan with the state, and earlier this week re-applied for her food service license with the town.
Since getting the go-ahead from the Town Council on Monday, Reynhout and her mix of new and old new staff have been busy preparing the place for its re-opening.
"We've been working on it agressively since Monday," she said. "We did a tremendous amount of work this week. It was like starting from scratch, getting the place running. The utilities were shut off, we had to get them back on again."
By Friday morning, after Reynhout and her staff had been putting on the finishing touches until about 1 am, it seemed — once again — as if Jigger's had just always been there.
"I've been coming here for years," said Wayne Joubert, who sat at a table with a long-time breakfast companion. "Obviously I didn't starve to death, but breakfast just wasn't the same."
Reynhout said Jigger's will be open three days a week — Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays — from 6am to 1pm. She said she hopes to be able to be open seven days a week in the near future.

I bought these for Christmas as I've always been a fan and prefer dark chocolate, so I was very disappointed to see what looked and tasted like milk chocolate, with a really poor selection, consisting of 6 of the most unpopular fillings. I called the free number on the back of the box to complain and was told that "they are dark chocolate" and some only appear to be milk due to the mix they use!!??

But I include it in this list because it represents such a startling advance in consumer computing. To do this kind of touchscreen art just a couple of years ago, you would have had to drop hundreds of dollars on a drawing tablet from a company like Wacom, and hundreds more on graphics software like Adobe Photoshop. Now you can do it all on the iPad for $2.99. Incredible!

MIAMI - A small airplane with four people on board crashed Monday near the Grand Bahama International Airport.
The Federal Aviation Administration reported the crash to the U.S. Coast Guard about 11 a.m. Monday.
According to Bahamian authorities, the Cessna 340 left Ormond Beach, Florida, and was on its way to the airport in Freeport. Authorities said the plane lost communication with the control tower about 10:40 a.m. and crashed into the ocean.
The cause of the crash is under investigation.
At this time there is no word on the condition of those on board the plane.

LONDON, Oct 30 (Reuters) - JP Morgan has put its chief currency dealer in London, Richard Usher, on leave, a source familiar with the matter said on Wednesday.
This mirrors developments at Standard Chartered, which has also put one of its senior FX traders on leave, according to a source familiar with the matter. Matt Gardiner joined StanChart from Swiss bank UBS only last month.
Usher, head of spot G10 currency trading, joined JP Morgan from Royal Bank of Scotland in May 2010. He remains a full-time employee at JP Morgan and has not been suspended. But he hasn't been at his desk for around two weeks, the source said.
Usher could not be reached for comment, and JP Morgan declined to comment.
JP Morgan is one of several banks cooperating with the Financial Conduct Authority in Britain and other regulators around the world looking into allegations of currency manipulation in the $5.3 trillion-a-day global market.
It was unclear whether JP Morgan's decision to put Usher on leave had anything to do with this investigation.
Usher is still listed as "active" on the UK Financial Conduct Authority's register, and is listed as one of the 13 members of the Bank of England's Joint Standing Committee's chief dealers group at the end of last year.
The Bank of England declined to comment, however, on whether he was still on that committee.
Royal Bank of Scotland said on Wednesday it had sought to reassure clients about the foreign exchange rates they were being offered and rival Barclays said it was cooperating regulators scrutinising the market.

With the Nov. 5 election less than two weeks away, supporters of a controversial affordable senior housing project in Palo Alto have a wide lead over their rivals in the race for cash.
Palo Altans for Affordable Senior Housing raised $79,446 between Sept. 22 and Oct. 19 for a year-to-date total of about $183,768, according to campaign finance statements filed Thursday.
Meanwhile, Palo Altans to Preserve Neighborhood Zoning collected $19,588 during the most recent reporting period for a year-to-date total of just $27,762, the Fair Political Practices Commission Form 460s show.
If passed, Measure D would allow the nonprofit Palo Alto Housing Corporation to move forward with a 60-unit apartment complex for seniors who make 30 to 60 percent of area median income, at 567-595 Maybell Ave. The project also calls for 12 single-family homes, which would be sold at market rates to help fund construction of the apartment complex.
The city council gave the project the green light in June, but residents collected thousands of signatures to force a public vote.
The major sticking point for opponents is the density of the project. They say it will result in more traffic, making Maybell Avenue a more dangerous place to walk or bicycle. Supporters, for their part, say the project is far better than one a private developer could build on the 2.5-acre site.
As in the previous reporting period, the Palo Alto Housing Corporation was the biggest donor to the "Yes on Measure D" campaign. The nonprofit organization kicked in $60,000 for a total of $110,000 in cash so far. It has also donated $44,000 in "employee time and expenses."
Sunshine Quality Services of Palo Alto was the second largest contributor with $4,500, the Form 460s show.
Other major donors included David Dunlop, who gave $2,500, according to the campaign finance statements. Dunlop is an executive vice president at Segue Construction Inc., a Pleasanton-based multi-family housing contractor. Affordable housing developer Eden Housing Inc. chipped in $2,000 and the League of Women Voters of Palo Alto cut a check for $1,000.
Palo Alto City Council members Larry Klein and Gail Price contributed $500 and $150, respectively.
The campaign finance statements show Palo Altans for Affordable Senior Housing has about $15,934 heading into the final two weeks.
The "No on Measure D" campaign more than doubled its war chest in the most recent reporting period. The donations came mostly from residents of the Barron Park and Green Acres neighborhoods.
Lucy Yuan, a retiree, contributed the most with $5,000, the Form 460s show. She was followed by Dr. Lazlo Tokes, who gave a $3,000, and Realtor Grace Wu, who gave $1,000.
Residents leading the charge against Measure D also stepped up to the plate. Joseph Hirsch contributed $1,000. Cheryl Lilienstein and Timothy Gray gave $600 and $400, respectively.
Palo Altans to Preserve Neighborhood Zoning had nearly $7,870 left in its bank account as of Oct. 21, according to campaign finance statements.

Baseball leaders speak at Diversity Business Summit
Baseball leaders speak at Diversity Business Summit
Jerry Reinsdorf, chairman of the White Sox, was co-host of the event, and he was joined by high-ranking executives from the Astros, Yankees, D-backs and Braves. Collectively, they spoke about the baseball industry and about the importance of diversity on their respective brands.
"People tend to act in ways that are in their own selfish best interests. We just feel its in our own selfish best interests to deal with the whole world," said Reinsdorf. "And when you're hiring people, do you want the pool to be everybody or do you want it to be a small pool? If you're looking for quality prices, why not open it to the whole world? You're going to get better deals that way. If you can do good along the way, that's fine. But the fact of the matter is that diversity is really good business."
That message -- and others like it -- resonated with the audience, which was made up of around 1,000 people either seeking job opportunities in the game or hoping to do business with baseball teams at some point down the line. And on this day, they got to hear from the people who do the hiring.
Randy Levine, president of the Yankees, told the audience that it has to be assertive. If you want a job with a big league team, he said, you have to go after it and not take "No" for an answer.
"I think the best thing to do is don't be shy," said Levine. "Don't be nervous. Get really, really aggressive. I love talking to people. I return as many phone calls as I can. ... I get a lot of people that come up to me and say, 'Hey, I want to be general manager of the Yankees.' It just doesn't happen like that. Maybe the president of the Yankees happens that way, but not the general manager. Just be flexible. If you get into an organization -- whether it's a club, a league or a major sponsor -- just get in the door. And then prove yourself. And there are a lot of ways to get in the door."
George Postolos, president and chief executive officer of the Astros, said that diversity in the ownership group was a priority for Houston, but that it didn't end there. The Astros are looking to make their business match their community, and they feel that starts with their own hiring practices.
"We're doing a lot of hiring, and we're also raising pay on the entry-level," he said. "It's very competitive to go after the best minority candidates. They're in very high demand today, because diversity is a priority for many leading companies. ... We've found that being more aggressive in pay and having ownership and senior management involved in recruiting talented minority candidates is really essential if you want to have leaders in the organization and if you want to have a racially-diverse organization."
But not all of the talk centered on diversity and getting your foot in the door. Derrick Hall, president of the D-backs, told the audience about his two-decade odyssey in the game, which started with a Class A affiliate of the Dodgers and has brought him all the way to the top of Arizona's brain trust.
Most important of all, said Hall, is remembering the human element. He spoke of how vital it is to be responsive to the needs of your clientele one request at a time, and he told the audience of an acronym -- FAWSY, or Find A Way to Say Yes -- that his service team uses as a credo.
"When I first instructed all of our employees that we had to find a way to say Yes, it was tough. It was a challenge," said Hall. "Find a way to win a game, even when we lose. When you lose a game, 1-0 -- when they take a lead in the top of the ninth and you don't score in the bottom of the ninth -- how do fans walk away saying, 'That was great. I can't wait to go back.' And that's really the difference we have to provide. We have to make sure we have the best service team in place so that each of our season-ticket accounts have a rep assigned to them to make sure that relationship is as strong as ever."
The panel discussion -- which also included Bill Bartholomay, chairman emeritus of the Braves -- took place right before the conference attendees would break up to meet with representatives from teams and from companies that supply apparel and equipment for Major League Baseball.
Hall told the attendees how important it is for the respective teams to make an impact in their community. Arizona has donated more than $30 million to charity over the past 15 years, he said, and the D-backs do it for a fairly simple reason.
"It's very important that we win, but we know we're not going to win every year. We're always contributing off the field," he said. "All of our fans know that, and the community knows that. We want the fans to feel good about our hometown team regardless of how we're playing. We give back more per year than all the other local sports teams combined.
"That's really our challenge, to make sure that not only our front office -- but also our players and coaches -- are involved in the community. They'll go and visit children in the hospital, not because there's a camera over their shoulder but because it's the right thing to do. They take time to sign autographs and take time to take pictures with the fans."

Grey Screen on Starup!!!
So what I was doing was coping over my old hard drive to a brand new and bigger hard drive which I had partioned and formated already. I was using Norton Ghost 15 to do this, the procces took about 2 hrs. and 30 mins and when it was done I checked to make sure it had copied over correctly and as far as I could see it had.
But when I powered up my PC it started and went through the usual processes the spining glowing balls with starting windows underneath it, spining blue circle with welcome underneath it. But after the welcome loading circle is gone it comes up with another loading screen saying preparing desktop, this takes about five minutes and after it's done it comes up with a grey screen and in the bottom right coner it has this in this layout:
Windows 7
Build 7600
This copy of Windows is not genuine
I have tried restarting it over and over again, I have tried the Windows Repair disc which found nothing needing fixing and I have tried staring it in safe mode with no effect. I have looked around and can not find anything similar problem to this so I am hoping that someone knows how to fix it here.

Managed to fix it!!!!! what you have to do is go into safe mode with command promt and keep pressing ctrl-alt-delete until it comes up with a list of option which are shut down pc, log off etc. but you need to click on start task manager then you click on the file menu on task manager and click new task and type in "regedit.exe" (without inverted commas) and tick the box with run with administritive priveleges then you follow these steps: -
1. Go to the following registry key - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\MountedDevices
2. Then find the drive letter you want to change, look for "\DosDevices\C:" right click on this and click rename and change it to another spare letter key Z etc.
3. Then find the drive letter the new hard drive is under (in may case) "\DosDevices\:F" then right click and press rename and change the drive letter from F to C
4. Quit Regedit
5. Restart your computer
If you followed the steps above it should boot up as normal and it will work fine.

Miami and Miami Beach will host the World Outgames in 2017, the president of the Gay and Lesbian International Sport Association announced on Thursday in Antwerp, Belgium, the site of the 2014 games. This will be the first time the international sporting event will be held in the United States.
"We are extremely honored that GLISA chose Miami Beach-Miami for the 2017 World Outgames; this is a major leap forward for our community," said Bruce Townsend, co-chair of the Miami-Beach-Miami Sports Cultural League, which made the bid for the games. "This experience has been unbelievable for our team and we are grateful to represent Miami Beach and Miami for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
The World Outgames got its start in 2006, when the Federation for Gay Games determined that Montreal wasn't prepared to host the official Gay Games, as planned, and moved the event to Chicago. Montreal organizers instead planned their own event, which became the World Outgames.

This won't work. Just deal with the prices, like Salem said, other countries have it worse. God, I hate being an American sometimes. We are not the only country in the world! The only way this "Don't pump gas" thing would work, is if the government monitors the day, such as a "No-Gas" day like they had during WW2.

So that means that our right to complain about things goes away?
As for the people coming in here saying "I pay $50/gallon", good for you. I'd love to have the services that are paid for by the taxes that drive up your gas prices.
You will always have the right to complain, what makes you think I meant that? I'm just saying it can be excessive. You should find comfort in knowing that you don't have it as bad as other people do, however, I don't see that happening. A famous quote, "Life's a .........., and then you die"

"We will game forever!"
Like I said, the extra taxes that people in other countries pay on their gas pays for services we don't get here (healthcare, for one).
If you rolled what I pay for gas together with what I pay for medical+dental insurance, it'd be right about $6-7 a gallon as well.
How is National Insurance paid for?
> dental insurance.
Haha, Brits don't have dental insurance
I should have qualified those statements; I meant "when you can." Clearly someone who lives a long way from work (though, in a more harsh stance than I'd probably take, those are choices made knowing how much driving it will entail) has a hard time cutting driving time in that manner. I was trying to illustrate that, if we're going to be so conscious of gas prices, we should also be conscious of how we're using - and wasting - that gas. A few minor reductions in our gas consumption can help to offset the rising price of fuel.
There is a difference between tedious and difficult.
The accuracy of the numbers used I'll leave open, but I think the relative comparison of tax to overall prices is something like this.
7. It is easier to write an incorrect program than understand a correct one.
40. There are two ways to write error-free programs; only the third one works.*

Hey, I'm completely willing to admit I was wrong. My point is still correct though - your excess taxes go to other services. I don't specifically know what the gas taxes would go to - maybe injecting flavor into your food?

The Home Secretary's worst difficulty was that she had not chosen the lesson she was trying to teach: it was her domineering and tactless headmaster, Gordon Brown, who insisted on adding detention without charge for a maximum of 42 days to the school curriculum.
As several MPs reminded Miss Smith, only last Sunday she admitted in a television interview that "what I've always said throughout this process is that the maximum number of days isn't the most important issue", and also that MI5 had not asked the Government for 42 days. Yet yesterday the Home Secretary had to insist this period of time was absolutely essential.
Miss Smith plodded forward, looking more and more vexed with the rebels – who brought her again and again to a standstill – but quite unable to seize the moral or intellectual initiative.
Since Mr Brown had himself been quite unable to seize the initiative at Prime Minister's questions, one might say that Miss Smith was simply following his lead.
All Mr Brown could demonstrate was an overpowering determination to get his own way. It was like listening to Macbeth: "For mine own good, all causes must give way."
Mr Brown certainly appeared to think that for his own good, all civil liberties must give way.
He told David Cameron it was better to bring in the legislation "in a moment of calm" rather than "in a moment of panic".
Mr Cameron retorted that under Mr Brown's plan, the Government would indeed be coming to Parliament "in a moment of difficulty" in order to sanction locking a suspect up for 42 days. The Tory leader's use of the word "difficulty" was surely preferable to Mr Brown's talk of "panic": Mr Cameron showed up the Prime Minister by sounding statesmanlike.
Any claims Mr Brown has to statesmanship were undermined when he himself referred to what some utterly obscure Liberal Democrat candidate in Bristol had said, and also to some material that had apparently appeared on a Tory website.
The Prime Minister should not condescend to refer to such obscure and unimportant material. It is no good blaming whoever briefs Mr Brown for bringing this stuff to his attention: it is the Prime Minister who is so cloth-eared that he thinks he can with advantage inflict it on the Commons.
The debate on 42 days was impressive: passionate, informed, with the rebels having by far the best of it, even though narrowly deficient in actual votes.
When Keith Vaz (Lab, Leicester East), the chairman of the home affairs select committee, tried to explain why he and others had swung behind the Government, Diane Abbott (Lab, Hackney North and Stoke Newington) shouted "under duress" and made a strangling motion to show how Labour rebels have been treated.
Sir Menzies Campbell (Lib Dem, North-East Fife) said "the scurrying around of the last few days and weeks " as the Government offered "Danegeld" to the Democratic Unionists and to other MPs for their votes "has been demeaning to the Government and indeed to Parliament".
But the actual debate was rather uplifting to Parliament. It was just the vote that let the place down.

Comments about Studio Designs Retro Lamp:
this lamp would be best if used for a very small work area. it is very difficult to adjust; especially for my original intent of using it on my drawing table (36" x 48"). definitely not worth the price.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Love my lamp!!
By Red
from Chicago
The look is very cool! Saw the same in a nyc bar!The bulb included is actually great lighting and the arm is long enough to really reach.Only wee problem is I wish the on/off switch was on the lamp and not on the cord, which is a bit hard to reach, since it falls behind my drafting table.

Names are there to be changed
Shakespeare was right about names, Kirk Douglas and the French Jews are just being sentimental
I have just been reading the most recent autobiography of nonagenarian movie star Kirk Douglas (his fourth). The son of Russian Jewish immigrants, Douglas started life with the name Issur Danielovitch. It was Americanised for the sake of his film career.
In his book, Douglas remarks that sometimes he still mourns the passing of Issur, the erstwhile identity he was forced to "kill off". Particularly since the major stroke he suffered in 1996, which caused him to re-evaluate his life and embrace Judaism.
This is a sentiment with which those French Jews now fighting for the right to regain their old names would sympathise. As reported in the JC, a group of French Jews whose parents had earlier changed their "foreign-sounding" names for fear of antisemitism, have been battling with the government for the right to reclaim them.
They regard their original Jewish names as an integral part of their family history. But, under French law, you are not allowed to revert to a former name. Nothing daunted, these Jews are taking on the government.
Kirk (or Issur) observes that, with changing times, later generations of Hollywood actors were not compelled to alter Jewish-sounding names. This is undeniably true. What's more, nowadays there even seems to be a sort of Jewish-chic in the movie world, whereby a Jewish name actually enhances a star's aura of "cool". Think of Jeff Goldblum, David Schwimmer, Sacha Baron Cohen, Jerry Seinfeld, Rachel Weisz and Alicia Silverstone.
The business of changing Jewish names to non-Jewish ones has been a running theme throughout my life. In Budapest in the 1930s, my Jewish grandfather and my father (then aged 10) changed their surname from the identifiably Jewish "Fischer" to its Hungarian version, "Halasz". There was an atmosphere in Hungary then of increasing antisemitism, and many Jews became "Hungarianised" during that period.
Fast forward to the 1970s, when, at the tender age of 22, I married a fellow called Robin Porter. Sounds a pukka Englishman, right? In fact, his Polish-Jewish grandfather's name of Potaszevicz was changed -in the blink of an eye - to Porter, at Liverpool docks, by one of those perpetually flummoxed immigration officials incapable of spelling or pronouncing any foreign name at all. It was the early 1900s and Grandpa, as you have probably guessed, was a refugee from the pogroms.
Alas, my marriage to Mr Porter didn't stand the test of time - although, as you can see, I've no objection to the continued use of his user-friendly surname.
Move ahead another decade and my partner is the equally English-sounding Nick Winton - the son of Kindertransport founder Sir Nicholas Winton. Occasionally someone asks Nick whether he's related to the TV presenter Dale Winton, which always makes me laugh. The name Winton was plucked at random out of a London phone book in 1938. The German-Jewish family's original name was Wertheim, but in the run-up to the Second World War, with "enemy aliens" being rounded up all over Britain, it was an undesirable moniker to have. So they anglicised it, while keeping the initial "W" as a nod to the family's origins.
Take another famous actor, Tony Curtis -born Bernard Schwartz, the son of an émigré Hungarian Jewish tailor. Once, in the 1950s, Tony attended a big Hollywood bash and brought his father along. Spotting the MGM mogul Sam Goldwyn (formerly Schmuel Gelbfisz), the actor went up to him and said: "Mr Goldwyn, I'd like you to meet my father, Emanuel Schwartz". Whereupon Goldwyn smiled and enquired of Tony's dad: "Why did you change your name, Mr Schwartz? Curtis is such a nice name". (This story might be apocryphal, but with the "verbally eccentric" Goldwyn, you never know.)
A rose by any other name would smell as sweet, as the Bard observed. And I agree. Throughout history people have changed their names to suit their purposes. So what? I have no less feeling for my family roots as a Porter than I would as a Halasz… or a Fischer. And you don't need a ""Jewish" name to lead a good Jewish life.
Perhaps those feisty French Jews should save their ammunition for the more crucial battles which face us.

ISLAMABAD: While terming it an internal matter, Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani on Thursday subjected any action against 'wanted' Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD) chief Hafiz Saeed to the judiciary's assessment of any evidence that the United States may share with Pakistan against him.
In what was termed a policy statement during the joint sitting of the parliament, the premier called the American decision of announcing a $10 million bounty for Hafiz Saeed 'unfortunate', especially at a time when Islamabad and Washington were trying to repair damaged ties.
"Such negative messages will increase trust deficit at a time when the parliament was engaged in framing new rules of engagement with the US," the premier told parliamentarians after opposition MPs called this week's American decision 'foolish and arrogant'.
The joint sitting of the National Assembly and Senate was overshadowed by the new situation emanating from Washington announcement to put a bounty on Saeed and President Asif Zardari's plan to undertake a private visit to India this weekend.
The unusually prolonged joint parliamentary sitting was being held to approve a parliamentary panel's report to reset war on terror ties with the US after last year's airstrikes by NATO helicopters on two Pakistani border posts, killing a couple of dozen soldiers.
Gilani became the highest government official to join a chorus of 'guarded' condemnation of the US decision a day after the foreign ministry had already called for Washington to share concrete evidence against a man they believe was behind the 2008 Mumbai attacks in which six American had been killed among 166 people.
The move to seek the arrest of JuD chief came at the time when Pakistani parliament is struggling to cope with public pressure to reopen land routes for NATO troops stations in Afghanistan suspended four months ago.
Gilani said this development had emerged as a 'negative message' at a very critical point of time.
"Some positive statement should come from America–a move which may pave the way for both (Pak and US) to rebuild good relations."
Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar told the house American must have shared the evidence against Saeed instead of taking a unilateral decision to put him under a bounty.
"Pakistan has an independent judiciary…if US has evidence against Saeed then it should come up with them here," Khar added.
Earlier, Leader of Opposition in the National Assembly Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan termed the US move a mind boggling announcement, claiming there was no case or allegations against him (Hafiz Saeed).
"The issue should be debated by the Parliamentary Committee on National Security as well," he proposed.
Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman sounded the harshest reaction in the house, calling the bounty 'foolish and ridiculous'.
Meanwhile, the Chairman Parliamentary Committee on National Security Senator Raza Rabbani hinted that the bounty could be some way for the US to influence either the pace or the : "Washington announcement is ill-timed. Neither the parliament nor the panel will accept any pressure."
Zardari's visit to India is a private tour
Reacting to objections raised by opposition MPs, Gilani said Zardari was travelling to India in his private capacity and that his visit was not aimed at seeking any talks with leadership there.
"We are as patriotic as anybody else. We will not do anything against the country's national interest. Nobody should have doubts about it," the premier rebuffed opposition demands for an explanation.
The Foreign Minister further confirmed the Prime Minister's claims saying the president's visit to India was planned in his personal capacity and it was only out of tradition that Indian Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh had invited him for lunch as a goodwill gesture.
Gilani promised the parliament would be taken into confidence if the president discusses something substantial with the Indian prime minister.
Earlier the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) members staged a token walkout against the recently announced increase in prices of petroleum products.

Former NFL quarterback Tim Tebow made a splash in the news a few weeks ago when it was announced that he would be playing baseball for the Mets. Tebow is on the Mets' minor league team, but that hasn't stopped him from doing great things.
Tebow made news when his first swing as a professional baseball player resulted in a home run, and he made news again on Tuesday for a very different reason. While signing autographs after the game, Tebow noticed a man in line who had a seizure and quickly rushed to his side, The Daily Caller reported.
While waiting for an ambulance, Tebow placed his hand on the man's leg and reportedly started praying. Incredibly, the man's shaking stopped.

In addition to praying over him, Tebow talked with the man to keep him in good spirits until help could arrive, according to USA Today. The man, who identified himself as Brandon, explained that his seizure was most likely the result of a tumor on his frontal lobe.

This was an incredible act on the part of Tebow. Most professional baseball players probably wouldn't take the time to watch over someone who had a seizure and talk with them until the ambulance arrived.
But we all know that Tebow isn't your average professional athlete. Tebow is someone whose faith is deeply important to him — despite all the hatred he has endured from the liberal media.

Tebow signing autographs. Fan has what looks like seizure. Not moving. Tebow puts hand on him and says a prayer. Man breathes. WOW.
— Kari Van Horn (@KariVanHorn) October 11, 2016
This is the sort of thing that should be covered more often in the media. Instead, they choose to focus on people like Colin Kaepernick — people who use their fame to disrespect our nation's flag.
If more people were like Tebow then this world would be a much better place.
Share this on Facebook and Twitter and let us know what you think about what Tim Tebow did for this fan.

NORTH RIDGEVILLE — It was Adam Severs 2, Independence nil.
The junior's two second-half goals put top-seeded Lake Ridge Academy (15-4) in the Division III regional for the first time in school history Thursday with a 2-0 revenge victory over second-seeded Independence (13-5-1) at Lake Ridge.
Last year, Independence beat Lake Ridge in a shootout to eliminate the Lions in the district semifinal. The two teams have met four straight seasons in the district with each winning two.
Severs' first goal, the only one the Lions ended up needing, was on a header off a rebound shot by Sami Ibrahim that bounced off the upper crossbar and into the net with 19:20 left in the second half.
It was Ibrahim's sudden-death goal that gave the Lions a semifinal win over Oberlin on Monday. Severs' second score came on a shot from 20 yards out off a beautiful pass from the right by Nathan Kafity with only 1:55 remaining.
Up until Severs' initial goal, the match was a defensive struggle dominated by Independence in the first half and Lake Ridge in the second. Helped by a strong wind, the Lions outshot the Blue Devils 7-6 in the last half after Independence had an 11-3 wind-aided shot-advantage in the first.
"I haven't had too many header goals this year, maybe two or three," said Severs, who leads the Lions with 24 goals. "It felt really good. It's great to be on a team this season that was the first to get out of the district in school history. And beating Independence was really special. They've been a rival or ours in the tournaments. So after losing in a shootout to them last year this was a little bit of a revenge.
"Nathan did a great job on his pass down the sidelines. And our defense was fantastic. We shut them down."
Lake Ridge opens regional play Tuesday at 7 at Bay High School against Louisville St. Thomas Aquinas, a 3-0 winner over Canton Central Catholic in another district final Thursday.
"This is awesome," Lake Ridge coach Ryan MacRaild said. "We knew it would be a battle. But we scouted them well and knew what was coming and we finished them off. The kids were excited today, but not nervous. They are a loose bunch. The boys had their goal set before the season to win the district. The talent is here and it looks good for next year, too, because we lose only three starters.
"Severs is amazing. The ball finds him and he finds the ball. He's a scoring whiz."
Can the Lions go all the way?\
"We've come this far, why not?" MacRaild said.
"I thought we played decently the first 40 minutes," Independence coach Randall McClure said. "But Lake Ridge did an excellent job of keeping our attacking players out of the mix."
Lake Ridge beat Independence 1-0 in the regular season.
Lake Ridge 2, Independence 0
GOALS: Adam Severs 2
ASSISTS: Nathan Kafity
SHOTS: Lake Ridge 10, Independence 17
SAVES: (LR) Diego Chada 7. (I) Zak Kruszynski 3
CORNER KICKS: Lake Ridge 3, Independence 3.

NEW YORK -- The NFL is making its already popular draft even more television-friendly, moving the first round to Thursday night. Next year's draft will switch from a two-day, weekend format to a three-day event with the opening round in prime time for the first time.
The NFL said Thursday that the first round will begin at 7:30 p.m. on April 22. The second and third rounds will start at 6:30 p.m. on Friday, with the last four rounds beginning Saturday morning.
The draft will continue to be televised by ESPN and NFL Network and held at Radio City Music Hall.
Over the years, it has evolved from a mostly unnoticed affair to a major TV event. The draft took place on Saturday-Sunday from 1995-2009 and Sunday-Monday from 1988-94.
Before that, it was held on one or two weekdays.
A total of 39 million viewers watched the draft this year.
The NFL said the first round lasted just under 3 1/2 hours in 2009, which would fit in neatly into a prime-time slot.

I am not nearly as excited about the second round as I was for the first because:
- Some of the most interesting players, Dwayne Wade, Brandon Roy and Chris Paul, are no longer playing.
- Only one of the four series looks competitive.
- No Cinderella's left.
- I think I watched too much basketball in the first round.
Orlando in 6 over Boston
Orlando had a much harder time putting away Philadelphia than I expected. On the other hand Boston had an evern harder time with Chicago. If Orlando is getting healthier, which it looked like they might have been based on how they played Game 6 without Dwight Howard, then I think they should be able to beat Boston.
Cleveland in 5 over Atlanta
Originally I was predicting this would be done in five games but when I look at the season series I see that though Cleveland won 3 – 1 three out of the four games were quite close. Atlanta has a very athletic team and hopefully they'll make this round entertaining.
Los Angeles in 5 over Houston
I really want Houston to win. I want Los Angeles not to win more than I want any other team to win. But Los Angeles swept the season series and they are just a deeper, more talented team.
Denver in 5 over Dallas
I had made this prediction before Game 1 where Denver trounced Dallas. Denver is a very deep and talented team. I hate Kenyon Martin though, almost as much as I hate Kobe. This post is just full of negative feelings.
Here is a YouTube video of Yao blocking Michael Jordan. Maybe we'll get some new ones of Yao blocking Kobe.

Free MBF Workshop at RENCI in North Carolina
March 24, 2011 | By Microsoft blog editor
We recently posted a preview of the Microsoft Biology Foundation (MBF) for development evaluation purposes. Now, we're following up with a special, free, two-day MBF workshop from April 19 to 20, 2011, at the Renaissance Computing Institute in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, hosted by the Microsoft Biology Initiative. The workshop includes a quick introduction to Microsoft Visual Studio 2010, the Microsoft .NET Framework, C#, and the MBF Object Model. Plus, our hands-on lab will give you the opportunity to write a sample application that employs the file parsers, algorithms, and web connectors in MBF. For complete details about the event, or to register, please see the MBF Workshop website.
We will also cover some MBF training modules throughout the day, including:
- Module 1: Introduction to Visual Studio 2010 and C#. This comprehensive introduction to the Microsoft Visual Studio programming environment and Microsoft .NET will teach you how to create a project, get started with C#, and perform runtime debugging. Also, you will get hands-on lab experience by building applications in Visual Studio 2010.
- Module 2: Introduction to the Microsoft Biology Foundation. This overview will introduce you to MBF basics through discussions of its scenarios and architectures and includes a starter project. The starter project is a hands-on lab that will help you get the experience you need to work with sequences, parsers, formatters, and the transcription algorithm that is supplied in MBF.
- Module 3: Working with Sequences. In this module, you'll learn more about the Sequence data type in MBF, including how to load sequences into memory and save them, the different sequence types that are available, how to use sequence metadata, and how data virtualization support enables support for large data sets in a hands-on lab setting.
- Module 4: Parsers and Formatters. In Parsers and Formatters, you'll explore MBF's built-in sequence parsers, formatters, alphabets, and encoders. This module will also introduce the method of expanding MBF with custom alphabets, parsers, and formatters. The hands-on lab will walk you through the steps that are required to build a simple custom parser and formatter for a fabricated biology data format.
- Module 5: Algorithms. In this module, you will examine the algorithms that are defined in MBF for sequence alignment, multi-sequence alignment, sequence fragment assembly, transcription, translation, and pattern matching against sequences. You'll also learn how to create custom algorithms. The hands-on lab will walk you through the steps that are required to build an application to run algorithms against sequences loaded with MBF and will teach you how to perform sequence alignment, assembly, and transformations.
- Module 6: Web Services. This module will introduce Microsoft .NET web services, the web service architecture in MBF, the built-in web service support in MBF for BLAST (Basic Local Alignment Search Tool), and ClustalW. You will also learn how to call these services asynchronously and build custom service wrappers. In the hands-on lab, you'll build an application that executes the BLAST algorithm by using web services against handlers for BLAST, pass sequences and sequence fragments to BLAST, change the BLAST parameters, and display the results from a BLAST run.
We hope you will join us for this free two-day event. Whether your goal is to get trained on MBF or simply to evaluate MBF and its Microsoft .NET model, you can expect to get a tremendous return on your time investment.
We look forward to meeting you on April 19 in Chapel Hill.

Woodworking: It's just possible to not only cook it right, but also cook to perfection
It's barbecuing time in Badgerland, and I've recently had luck with recipes from various sources that I'll share with you.
One of the most difficult cuts of meat to get just right is leg of lamb. And by just right I mean medium rare.
If you cook it well done, you might as well sole shoes with it. If you cook it rare it bounces around on your plate like a piece of raw brisket. It's hard enough to get it right in a kitchen oven, even harder in a Weber and charcoal.
Every Easter, we do a boneless leg of lamb in the oven, seasoned on the inside with garlic, herbs, lemon and olive oil, and more often I get it wrong -- too gray one year, too red the next.
But I've been watching the Cook's Illustrated TV series on public television and have been impressed with host Christopher Kimball, who does little more than look nerdy, and his perky assistant Bridget Lancaster.
In fact, I've been so impressed I have subscribed to their magazine, Cook's Illustrated, a compendium of good advice -- and very specific advice -- about cooking it right.
In one of my first issues I ran across a recipe for barbecued boned leg of lamb that you can cook in about 35 minutes!!!!
I was unconvinced but thought what the heck, it's Easter. We can always eat egg salad sandwiches for the next week if it fails.
Here's what you do. You open the boned leg and spread it out, maybe even flatten it a tad with a hammer (like your ma and round steak), but don't tear the flesh.
Then concoct a marinade of your choice. I used olive oil, several cloves of crushed garlic, fresh rosemary minced, grated lemon peel, lemon juice and freshly ground black pepper.
Place in fridge for 4-12 hours. Remove and bring to room temperature.
Meanwhile, build a charcoal fire in your Weber or whatever except a Charbroil, which will probably fall apart as mine did after two or three uses.
When the coals are ashy and medium hot, spread out, flesh side down on the grill above the coals.
Broil for about 15 minutes until charred. Flip it over and do the same.
After 15 more minutes, take it off the grill, bring it into the house, cover with foil for half an hour. Put an instant temp thermometer, which should read about 130 degrees.
Slice thinly, leaving each slice with a charred crust, put on platter, pour over any remaining juice and serve.
You'll like it. We served our lamb with mashed parsnips and a green salad.
Another tough cookie is getting a prime rib cooked medium rare all the way through. Cook's again came to the rescue a few weeks ago.
We possessed a four pound boned prime rib roast. Every Christmas I've screwed up earlier roasts so I tried Cook's method.
These people cook such a roast about 300 different ways and come up with the best result.
I always heard that you start such a roast at 450 then quickly bring it down to about 300 and then trust your meat thermometer.
Not so, said the scientific cooks at Cook's.
They found that if you start really hot, once you take the roast out of the oven to rest, the temperature goes up rapidly and you end up with meat that's medium or even well done (shoe soling time again).
So Cook's did this. They cooked the roast from beginning to end at 250 and they ended up with a pinkish exterior.
So the next time around, they salted and peppered the roast and browned it in a cast iron pan until it was a deep brown, then tossed it in the 250 degree oven. I did mine the same way.
In about an hour, it registered about 125-130 at its thickest. I took it out, covered it with foil and let it rest for half an hour.
Lo and behold, the meat was pink all the way through, except for the exterior, which I served to folks at the table who don't like meat. They liked what they ate. I also made a sauce from the cast-iron frying pan drippings.
You'll notice I didn't use my Weber for the latter preparation. That's because it's difficult to control the temperature of such aging rigs.
I used our $900 kitchen oven -- after I had checked the accuracy of its temperature gauge with a thermometer I bought for $1.95. (The $900 range was wrong.)
So what to do with the Weber? Fortunately Ruth and I had just eaten at a Minneapolis artists' gathering catered by the WestWind.
One of the smashingly good hors d'oeuvres prepared by Chef Tony was charcoal broiled asparagus.
I managed a fair approximation by marinating raw trimmed asparagus in a bath of olive oil, grated lemon peel and minced garlic, then threw it on the Weber grill until coals had flecked the green stems with black.
Don't overcook and bon appetit.
Dave would like to hear from you. Phone him at 715-426-9554

Private Contractors Assume "Troubling Role" in Iraq War, Prof. Kevin Howley Writes
October 3, 2004
October 3, 2004, Greencastle, Ind. - "In Afghanistan, Iraq and other fronts in the 'war on terrorism' mercenary forces and other private military contractors have assumed a troubling role in crafting, implementing and realizing U.S. defense policy," writes Kevin Howley, assistant professor of communication, in today's edition of Indiana's Bloomington Alternative.
In the editorial, Dr. Howley refers to "DePauw Discourse 2004: Issues for America," and the September 16-17 presentations by Ambassador L. Paul Bremer III and 9/11 Commission Vice Chair Lee Hamilton '52. "Addressing DePauw undergraduates directly, both Bremer and Hamilton argued that today's college students face a 'generational challenge' akin to that confronting the post-WW II generation."
Howley continues, "In contemplating our future... we must carefully consider the wisdom of outsourcing military services to unregulated, and largely unaccountable private contractors and paramilitary organizations. We must ask ourselves what is at stake when our nation's military grows less responsive to civilian authority charged with defending the American people and grows increasingly dependent on private firms interested in maximizing profits."
The professor concludes, "Having alerted students that they face the prospect of a perpetual state of war and occupation, the challenge Mr. Bremer and Mr. Hamilton allude to may boil down to this generation's response to the following question. How best can America leverage its unrivaled military might? In the protection and defense of the nation and its people, or as the Bush Administration would have it, in a ruthless, costly and decided anti-democratic effort to extend American empire?"

When George W. Bush emerged smiling from his first meeting with Alan Greenspan Monday, he put his hand on the Federal Reserve chairman's shoulder. ''We had a very strong discussion about my confidence in his abilities,'' Bush told reporters.
No word on whether the feeling was mutual. Or whether Bush's ''confidence'' means all is forgiven for the interest rate hikes through which Bush and his father believe Greenspan handed the White House to Bill Clinton in 1992. These public grins and private snarls kick off Washington's newest kabuki dance.
It's an economic policy version of ''Dynasty.''
In our last episode, you'll recall, the Bush clan's resentment only simmered as they saw Greenspan link arms with Bill Clinton. Yet Greenspan was impressed by Clinton's intellect, and found him a willing pupil on the merits of deficit reduction.
Clinton's fiscal restraint, in turn, freed Greenspan to conduct a lengthy experiment in pushing unemployment down further than most economists thought possible without triggering inflation. The surprise ending: a ''liberal'' president's budgets paved the way for a ''conservative'' Fed chairman to pull millions of less-skilled workers into the labor force, doing more for them than any government program could have.
Yet only half the Bush ticket is wary of Greenspan. Prime minister -- I mean, vice president-elect -- Dick Cheney has been pals with Greenspan for 25 years, from the days when Cheney was Gerald Ford's chief of staff and Greenspan headed Ford's Council of Economic Advisers.
As Bob Woodward reports in ''Maestro,'' his revealing new book on the Greenspan Fed, then-defense secretary Cheney even gave Greenspan secret briefings on Gulf War military plans so the Fed chairman could gauge their effects on the economy.
It's not clear what lecture Greenspan gave Bush on Monday but it's a fair bet he reminded the incoming president that tax cuts are a delayed and unreliable way of boosting the economy. Assuming it survived Congress (a big ''if''), Bush's tax cut wouldn't be enacted until next fall, and many of its provisions might not take effect for years.
That's just policy, of course. Politics will drive Bush's tax plan, as it has from the start. No one seems to recall that Bush's now sacrosanct $1.3 trillion tax cut was designed to fend off what his campaign viewed as its strongest primary threat, from taxophobe Steve Forbes. Oops: Got that wrong. In a little-savored irony, John McCain's proposed tax cut was actually smaller than the one pushed by Al Gore.
Meanwhile, Bush's tax cut was so big -- far bigger than anything Newt Gingrich had dared offer, for example -- that aides knew they couldn't fund any of Bush's ''compassionate'' ideas alongside it. Higher surplus estimates came along to bail them out. Higher (but potentially more fickle) forecasts due any day will make it seem more feasible than ever.
It's no surprise, therefore, that the Bushies are sticking to their guns, offering no suggestion that they'll move off the $1.3 trillion number, and talking down the economy to bolster their case. In normal times, that strategy would be reasonable enough: Bush can always cut his deal later, in exchange for nailing down the things he really wants.
But since these aren't normal times, and Bush desperately needs a bipartisan coalition to make his presidency successful, he should take a page from Bill Clinton's playbook. Shortly after Clinton won re-election in 1996 with some of the worst Medicare demagoguery on record, he unilaterally raised the level of Medicare cuts he was willing to consider. The surprise move stunned Republicans, and signaled that Clinton was serious about a deal. The thaw led to 1997's balanced budget agreement.
Though Bush's base would crucify him for backing down so soon, doing so would send a powerful message to Hill Democrats that Bush's thirst for bipartisan accomplishment trumps any perceived need to be seen as ''tough.'' It would reassure Greenspan that he can put his foot on the gas pedal without fears that Bush will recklessly plunge the nation back toward deficits.
Whether Bush proves shrewd and secure enough to give early on the size of his tax cut will therefore be the first pivotal act in this economic drama. Stay tuned.

5 Years : From Nov 2012 to Nov 2017
By Konstantin Rozhnov
LONDON--Crude oil exports through the Caspian Pipeline Consortium, or CPC, are scheduled at 2.57 million metric tons in December, compared with 2.53 million tons in November, according to a provisional loading program seen by Dow Jones Newswires Tuesday.
The December preliminary loading schedule of CPC Blend comprises 23 cargoes.
CPC is led by Chevron Corp. (CVX), and includes Russia's OAO Lukoil Holdings (LKOH.RS) and OAO Transneft (TRNFP.RS), Exxon Mobil Corp. (XOM), Kazakhstan's KazMunaiGas, Italy's Eni SpA (E) and Royal Dutch Shell PLC (RDSA).
The group mainly pumps oil from Kazakhstan to the Black Sea. Russian oil is also shipped through this pipeline to the Black Sea.

Since I am rather unusually sick enough to be off work today but happen to be on annual leave this week, mrs and I got to talking about cyclists and sick days: we both ride to work and have had no sick days off work for 4-5 years each.
I know the ctc go on about this, but are we really typical of regular cyclists?
Reason being is I thought it would be fun for our HR department to establish who rides a bike to work (or for fun) and work out if, and if so how much less sick we are than the rest of our workforce. (I know a couple of runners and a few gym bunnies at work who have no better sick records than the less fit/chubsters/proper biffers.)

The first Texas Chainsaw Massacre movie, released in 1974, is regarded as a classic of the horror genre. The remake, released in 2003 by Michael Bay's Platinum Dunes studio, has a 36% Rotten Tomatoes rating; the sequel, released in 2006, sits at 12%. Since they were apparently never told to leave well enough alone, though, Platinum Dunes is planning another sequel, and may have found a director bold enough to take it on.
According to Bloody Disgusting, John Luessenhop is in talks to direct Leatherface 3D, which would in fact be another sequel to the 2003 remake, but would pick up immediately where the original 70s film left off. Confused yet? Yeah, me too. Luessenhop last made 2010's heist drama Takers, and his last directorial credit before that was 2000's Lockdown; I can't be the only one now very curious about how he spent the intervening 10 years. According to another story at Bloody Disgusting Kirsten Elms has been brought on to tweak the script, under Luessenhop's supervision, that was written by Debra Sullivan, Adam Marcus and Stephen Susco.
The only thing not explained by this news is exactly who the audience for this will be-- horror fans who don't care what kind of dreck they see? Teenagers who don't know any better? Making 30-years-later takes on the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre hasn't worked that well twice now, so where is the evidence that they'll succeed this time? Call me negative, but I'm just not seeing the appeal here.

Nigerian bus crash kills 22
Twenty-two people were burnt to death when two commuter buses travelling in opposite directions collided on a highway in Nigeria, according to a government official.
The accident took place when one of the buses tried to overtake a stationary truck and collided with the oncoming vehicle, according to the Federal Road Safety Commission Commander Umar Bello Aginji.
The buses caught fire on impact, hampering rescue efforts and burning the victims beyond recognition.
Six of the bodies were recovered and brought to the mortuary at the local hospital. An infant was among the dead.
Another sixteen people were seriously injured.
The accident took place at dawn on Friday near the town of Ilorin.
Mr Aginji attributed the cause to both the narrowness of the road and the hazy weather conditions at the time, according to Nigeria's Guardian newspaper.
He urged motorists to reduce their speed and for broken-down vehicles to put up visible road danger signs.

Sipdown! (or at least pretty close to it)
I had my last little bit on its own yesterday. Funny story, I made this one, then when I went to add my milk and sugar, I found out I was out of milk! Booo! So, I went to Tim's to get a cinnamon roll and I got a couple of the little milk thingys. They didn't even charge me for it! So sweet!
Anyway, three mins is far too long for this tea. I needed to do more of a 2.5mins or so. It was too strong yesterday.
I'm not sure I'll miss this one now that it's out.

A hefty part of the affiliate marketing process is placed into finding the right niche and products.
Once you've landed on a hot product you can put your skills into action but if those skills are being pushed on a mediocre product you're wasting a lot of opportunity.
To aid with our discovery of niches and products we tend to rely on best seller lists, popularity/gravity (within the affiliate programs), and trends but there is one other that you may not be using which cuts through the hassle and gives you cold, hard data… trade & retail reports.
These reports give a breakdown of which industries are doing well which can be used in your line of work since it gives you a great idea of what people are buying.
1. Census.gov
The census has many great resources that break down retail trade; the site is a little difficult to navigate but the information is there for the picking. You'll also find access to different types of reports that are equally valuable such as ones dedicated to just ecommerce.
See reports: http://www.census.gov/retail/index.html#mrts
The World Trade Organization's efforts into understanding industries and trade is very, very thorough. If you have time to read 240+ pages (that sounds fun!) then you'll certainly have a great deal of knowledge over the competition.
See 2014 report: http://www.wto.org/english/res_e/publications_e/wtr14_e.htm
3. World Economic Forum
For those that want a bit of light reading before bedtime you can take a look at WEF's "Global Enabling Trade Report 2014" which covers 138 countries in areas like market access, transportation, communication, and administration. Did I mention it's only 353 pages?
The report: http://www3.weforum.org/docs/WEF_GlobalEnablingTrade_Report_2014.pdf
There are many other sources out there that round up this information if you were to do a search for [your niche] + [trade/retail report]. See what you can find; it's not the quickest way to find a new niche, per se, but by the time you're done with it you're knowledge of trade will be on the next level and that'll help you think beyond the niche.

RSS feed to a parent page (and it's subpages)
I've a question about RSS feeds. In my WordPress webpage I've a special kind of pages, where each subpage to the parent page is listed. The parent page hasn't really any function other can providing some kind of "container" for all subpages in this specific "category".
What I want is on my parent page to add a "Subscribe" icon to an RSS feed, but it has to be dynamically so a user can chose only to subscribe to the parent page RSS, so when any new subpage to this exact parent are created, an RSS subscriber would get a notification.
How do I do that?
I hope I've explained myself proper otherwise please let me know and I'll elaborate.

Pull Up A Chair…
Ready for a vacation yet? I thought the hammock looked pretty inviting. Or as a friend says, ready to run screaming out the door?
The crazy season is upon us, the pressure to have a perfect holiday. And sometimes the suggested solutions are worse than the original problem. Now instead of buying something we have to make something [which if you've seen my arts and craft skills is SO not happening].
I typically race thru my holiday card list to hurry and get it done. Am wondering if this is quite the point. Might it be possible to send out fewer cards, and spend a moment to think about these people? Nah, back to work.
One of my friends said holiday preparation makes her so frazzled she dreams of attending someone else's celebration: "I'd like to just show up."
So I'm thinking of a little experiment this year— to step away from the pressure to have a perfect holiday, and instead look for the joy that is already in my life. And then share that joy with others, especially those who are lonely, isolated, or hurting.
And I'm hoping that you guys will have some great ideas about how to put some sanity back into this holiday season. Let's hear what you've got!
Special favor for scribe and all other hungry pups, please jump in with more recipes for cookies and sweets of all kinds. Shoutout to Christy, we know you're peeking!
Welcome to the new house! Let's put the teakettle on, and pull up a chair….
