Amrita Rao with husband RJ Anmol
"Life Ka Recharge", which will be aired on &TV, is touted to be a light-hearted comedy show that will have social media at its heart.
"Anmol has been approached to host the show and the discussion with the makers is going on in full swing. The show is set to be shot exclusively in Jaipur," said a source from the show.
"With social media as its muse, the show will spread laughter through satirical comedy presented through skits, gags, public opinions and unique characters that will ensure the audience roll with laughter," the source added.
Interestingly, Amrita is also currently seen on the same channel in the TV show "Meri Awaaz Hi Pehchaan Hai".
The couple, who were in a seven-year-long relationship, got married earlier this month.

Two men were removed from Trump Tower on Thursday night – one after making bizarre statements about the FBI and the US government and the other after saying he wanted to speak with the First Lady, sources said.
In the first case, an emotionally disturbed man identified as Ruan Yu Hua, 52, told cops at President Trump's New York City residence around 9:30 p.m. that the FBI was after him, sources said. He also inquired about Congress, they said.
No threats were made to the president's family.
Hua, a repeat visitor to Trump Tower who has made similar remarks before, was taken to Bellevue Hospital for a psychological evaluation, sources said.
At 10:30 p.m., a suspicious man walked into Trump Tower and told a Secret Service agent that he wanted to speak to Melania Trump and that he had a secret password, sources said.
Again, no threats were made, and the man, identified as Alejandro Guzman, was sent away, sources said.

Posted on 07/07/2010 6:25:37 AM PDT by IbJensen
There are many reasons why the Cap-and-Trade Act will harm the future of the nation, but among the worst is that it is entirely based on a lie. The very worst, however, is that it is a nation killer.
Cap-and-Trade is intended to set up a trade scheme in carbon credits that is estimated to be worth a trillion dollars if enacted. The rationale is the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, primarily carbon dioxide (CO2), to avoid global warming. There is no global warming and no need to reduce carbon dioxide emissions
The vast bulk of CO2 is natural. The Earth produces 97% of the CO2 in the atmosphere. The atmosphere is essentially and overwhelmingly water vapor. CO2 plays no role in climate change.
Cap-and-Trade is a tax on energy use and Americans are constantly told that energy use in any form-coal, oil, natural gas, or nuclear-is bad. Thats not just a lie, it is insane.
Americans are told that renewable or clean energy can replace the energy generated by the use of coal, natural gas, and by nuclear plants. Solar and wind energy can never achieve this. They depend on totally unpredictable sources, the sun and wind. All such green energy must have existing plants as backup.
There no scientific or economic justification for the passage of Cap-and-Trade legislation. The President knows this. The Democrats in Congress know this. Its more than just a tax. It is a nation killer.

Can we spell impeachment?
So are any of the unconstitutional, marxist initiatives being shoved down the throats of the American people
"I once said, "We will bury you," and I got into trouble with it. Of course we will not bury you with a shovel. Your own working class will bury you."
~Nikita Khrushchev
Actually we can't. Even if the GOP takes back the House in November, the Senate would remain in Democrat hands. In the most unlikely event that the Senate changes hands as well, there will not be a 2/3rds majority to convict and remove Obama from office. Whatever the solution is to the Marxist to the White House, it won't be through the impeachment process.
As intended by its current advocates, "cap-and-trade" in fact has two purposes: the first is to weaken American corporate competitiveness in relation to that of other nations. The second is to redirect wealth
purloined from private enterprise into the pockets of (often already-wealthy) Progressives via corporate, government agencies and non-governmental organizations, some of which were created specifically for that purpose. As such, it is potentially the greatest heist in history, akin to robbing Fort Knox.
The people set up to rake in those trillions have been having their way with our economy for decades. They (Goldman Sachs, et al.) don't lose. It's as simple as that.
Cap and Trade is nothing more than a government plan by which one company "trades" (sells) its excess CO2 to another company which then uses it to produce CO2 into the atmosphere. In other words, there is NO LESS CO2 produced. How can anyone fall for this plan?

What if the goal of the farm bill was to add 100,000 new farmers in the next few years?
USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack posed this and other related questions to the Senate Agriculture Committee in a hearing yesterday. Federal programs to promote other industry fields are common, but haven't yet been crafted to address the aging farm population the country faces.

The Process
Gulf Energy's GFT process utilizes biomass gasification in combination with a Fischer-Tropsch synthesis process. Starting with any carbon-containing feedstock, we first convert this material into a synthesis gas (or Syngas). These syngas molecules are then configured during the synthesis/configuration process into our desired targeted fuel products. This is followed by a distillation and condensation process, which purifies these compounds into the liquid fuel itself.
History of Gasification
Gasification is not an entirely new technology and has been used in the coal industry for decades. Some early automobiles (known as wood-gas vehicles) ran on Syngas produced from firewood. In fact due to petroleum rationing during World War II, thousands of these cars throughout Europe were configured to run on syngas produced from firewood. Gasification combined with Fischer-Tropsch synthesis was also used by the Germans in World War II to produce liquid syngas called "producer gas". The South Africans have also been using this process to produce gasoline from coal since the 1960s. Biomass gasification simply uses biological materials like wood, which has and extremely high carbon content, instead of coal.
How Does It Work?
So how exactly does one go from a pile of wood chips to a drum full of ethanol or other fuel? We must first understand the make-up of the raw materials and also end-product fuels. Alcohols, gasoline, diesel fuel, jet fuel, etc., are all organic compounds. That is, they all contain carbon. Their chemical formulas are different, but they all contain basic carbon and hydrogen atoms.
What is wood made of? Wood is made almost entirely of cellulose (including hemi-cellulose) and lignin. There are trace amounts of other items like metals, and there is of course a tremendous amount of water, but the "woody" mass is essentially cellulose and lignin. Cellulose and hemi-cellulose are made up of glucose (sugar) molecules, while lignin is mostly phenols. Glucose and Phenols are in turn all composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen in varying degrees. You can see that that the basic chemical components for wood are exactly the same as they are for liquid fuels – just in a different form. By breaking up the molecules to release their carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen molecules, we can reconfigure these elements into the target fuel of our choice. This is the basis of our process technology approach.

A bomb squad called in to the home of the assassinated French Alps family on Monday, while surrounding neighbours were evacuated, allegedly uncovered a single gun thought to be used in the shootings.
The revelation backs up the theory that a professional contract killer was behind the killings, as reported by the Mail Online 25 spent cartridges from a 7.65mm automated pistol were found at the scene.
The news comes on the same day that a surviving little girl from the Al-Hilli family massacre was brought out of her coma for questioning.
Police cordoned off a road in Claygate, Surrey as additional officers, firefighters and bomb disposal experts were drafted into the property.
An execution series of killings in the French Alps saw Saad Al-Hilli, 50, slain along with his wife, mother-in-law and a passing cyclist (thought to be an unrelated witness).
All of the deceased were shot in the head twice in professional assassination style killings in Chevaline, close to the tourist destination of Lake Annecy, on Wednesday.
Two children survived the onslaught - four-year-old Zeena hid under her parents bodies and was discovered eight hours after the other corpses were found.
The al-Hillis' eldest daughter Zainab was shot during the attack and has recently been brought of her coma for questioning.
Mr Al-Hilli had a high-powered on map-making satellites, the Daily Mail reported, as the police have established that he was key to a secret contract for one of Europe's biggest defence companies leading some to believe that Al-Hilli was killed due to his business/political connections.

Lifestyle Support
Our bodies, minds, and environments are always changing which makes "BALANCE" of any one part or the whole an elusive ideal. But life is a dynamic, living force resulting in a constant juggling diet, sleep, exercise, introspection, social network, environment, work, to name but a few.
When any one aspect of our life is out of-balance, our life can feel off-balance. This feeling offers us clues as to what in our life is not working and what we can do to fix it. Lifestyle Support (group or individual) is designed to help us discover how we can maintain a sense of imbalance as well as imbalance, a kind of paradox.
The 'Lifestyle Support' group enables us to make shifts or changes we might otherwise not make on our own. Being healthy requires us to (1) be aware of how we live and (2) to be open to what we can do to make it better.

Posted on 11/01/2005 1:32:32 PM PST by ConservativeStatement
As plane deals go, this could well be the biggest prize in recent memory. In December three major Asia-Pacific carriers are expected to place orders for more than 100 widebody jets worth an estimated $16.8 billion. And by the looks of things, Boeing Co. (BA ) looks poised to supply most of the planes.
(Excerpt) Read more at businessweek.com ...
nothing would bring me more pleasure than to hear the whining from Airbust when they lose the Quantas and Singapore deals.
Go Boeing!
The Airbus plane is a joke.
It's huge, it's only fuel efficient if you take a full load and nix any of their stupid onboard casino or mall foolishness. Otherwise you may as well have passengers throwing fuel out the window on the hour. It requires airports to install new gates to accomodate it, and could very well decrease the number of plane per hour can take off. If Stalin designed a plane it would be the new Airbus.
The Boeing dreamliner is just the ticket for the future.
It's good news, but all this chicken counting makes me nervous. I'd rather wait until they actually have the orders.
Re the packed plane...in the early 70's Aer Lingus had several 747's configured in all tourist..I think they seated nearly 600...they were very popular with charter tour groups...in Christmas 1971 I was on leave in Paris, and was able to get a round trip last minute Shannon/JFK for a few $$...but I swar the trip to NYC was the wildest flight I ever had..500+ Irish/Americans..heading back home after two weeks in the old country...the alcohol level in the cabin could have probably flow the plane without any jet fuel..
That is no s**t. The 787 is what the market wants and needs, and it's only a matter of time before the rest of the carriers figure it out.
Meanwhile, mass riots will take place as they try to emplane 600 sardines onto the overblown A380.
Bingo. Guess what was the inspiration to build the A380?
Fed Ex would love that sucker for US to Europe air cargo as well.
Not so positive news on the government side of their business. Looks like the DoD has finally nixed further C-17 purchases. That line in Long Beach will be closing down soon.

Management and leadership skills: What is the difference?
As our organizations change and adapt so must the people running them - our managers and leaders. In the past, many organizations have neglected to develop and train this group, letting most find their own way to their own unique management or leadership style. The best organizations know that consistency is the name of the game for continued success. At the same time there has been much debate about methodologies - to train or to develop; to feed or to grow. I would define the difference … [Read more...]

Pareto's Principle – The 80/20 rule
Introduction to 80-20 In 1906, Italian economist Vilfredo Pareto created a mathematical formula to describe the unequal distribution of wealth in his country, observing that twenty percent of the people owned eighty percent of the wealth. In the late 1940s, Dr. Joseph M. Juran inaccurately attributed the 80/20 Rule to Pareto, calling it Pareto's Principle. While it may be misnamed, Pareto's Principle or Pareto's Law as it is sometimes called, can be a very effective tool to help you manage … [Read more...]

Lord Elis-Thomas: I am in a little difficulty as regards the speech of the noble Lord, Lord Dixon-Smith. I have recently been selected as a candidate for the national assembly. I am proud of that and I thank the constituency party of the Party of Wales, Meirionnydd Nant Conwy, for the honour of selecting me to seek election to an elected office. I say that by way of declaring what I hope is a prospective interest. I speak in support of Clause 2 as it stands. However, I must indicate strongly my objection to the tone of those who have spoken so far. With all due respect--as we say in
I agree with the noble Lord, Lord Dixon-Smith, that Clause 22 is the heart of the Bill. But there is nothing new here: all it does is place on the face of a Bill the process of transfer of powers by Her Majesty through Order in Council. The Welsh Office--that great institution of state which we now all love and which the noble Lord, Lord Crickhowell, will no doubt soon extol as being somehow preferable to further transfers to the Welsh assembly--has been created by this very process. There is nothing mysterious about further transfers that may in time emerge. As I made clear in this Chamber at the beginning of our debates on this Bill, I am not in favour of further transfer of legislative power in the Bill. There are arguments for further transfer of executive functions, and those will emerge when we discuss later amendments. The heart of Clause 22--the process of transfer--is well known to this Chamber.
As regards the notion of the assembly having a veto, I say in all generosity to the noble Lord, Lord Stanley of Alderley, that that is not the kind of language with which we should grace our devolution debates. We are not in the business of talking of vetoes, either as regards this Parliament at Westminster or the parliament at Holyrood or the national assembly in Cardiff Bay. We should talk of partnerships. We should not talk of threats of imminent collapse and the withdrawal of powers. We should not talk of Westminster drawing back powers, nor should we talk of Cardiff refusing to take responsibility. I refer again to the tone of the noble Lord, Lord Stanley, who suggested that those of us who seek election to the Welsh assembly might somehow shirk our responsibilities either towards the people in Wales who would elect us or towards this Chamber as a partner assembly within the Union. That is not the way we think of the arrangements that we seek between the peoples and nations of these islands, to coin a phrase so beloved of my noble friend Lord Molyneaux. What we are discussing is how we progress the devolutionary process by agreement, not by threats of imminent collapse or refusal of responsibility.
That brings me to the specific amendment on agriculture. As someone who has lived the whole of his life in rural Wales, I have great difficulty with the notion that agriculture, which is at the very heart of the economy of rural Wales, should not be a matter for which the assembly should have care and responsibility. It is not a matter of coming out of the CAP. No one can come out of the CAP these days, whether in western Europe, central Europe or even eastern Europe. We are searching for ways in which we can work together within that framework and the overall WTO frameworks. But surely there are ways in which an assembly for Wales, having care for the whole rural
Lord Crickhowell: I have known the noble Lord, Lord Elis-Thomas, long enough to know that it would be very foolish to question his integrity or assiduity, or the determination with which he will pursue his duties in the assembly. Indeed, it is not my intention to question the integrity of any member of the assembly in any way or to extol the virtues of the Welsh Office. I merely wish to draw attention to what we are doing in this Parliament at this time.
Like my noble friend Lord Dixon-Smith, I am worried and puzzled. My noble friend referred to Caldey Island. As the former Member for Pembroke, I ought to have been immediately able to answer the question he raised on that particular Act. As I expect he knows, almost all the inhabitants of the island are monks. I suspect that the clause to which he refers has something to do with the electoral procedures on Caldey Island. There are problems in conducting elections on an island which cannot always be reached during a campaign or on election day.
The point of my remarks is to draw attention to what this Chamber is being asked to do today. Looking round, I am not sure that every Member present has examined the transfer order or the notes kindly provided by the Government to explain it. My noble friend on the Front Bench thanked the Government for making the notes available, and I believe he described them as helpful. I am sure that was the Government's intention; however, they are the most unhelpful set of notes I have ever read in all my time in Parliament. I do not criticise the civil servants who worked hard to draw them up. It may be my stupidity that means I find it hard to interpret them. The notes tell us that they are the result of a trawl through over 300 Acts of Parliament: one goes back to 1841. A long list is provided of the Acts to which reference will be made in the order.
One then turns to the further notes to see whether one immediately gets a clear view of what it is that we are doing in relation to Clause 22. I had some involvement in the passage of the Water Resources Act 1991.
Most of us have difficulty in passing legislation. We are often confronted with lengthy Bills and do not always find it as easy as do the parliamentary draftsmen to interpret the exact meaning of each clause. However, we usually have the opportunity of turning through a Bill to get a pretty clear idea of its intentions clause by clause. If we are not enlightened by our own reading, the detailed debates in this House will probably throw some further light on the matter. That is the object of a Committee stage. In relation to this Bill, we have to turn to this very long list. Then, in order to discover what it is that we are doing, we have to look at the notes which identify the clauses in the long list of Bills. Presumably, if we then want to know exactly what we are doing, we have to go to the Library and take out the volumes containing the Acts. If we all did that, and brought them into the Chamber, we might bring proceedings to an early halt.
There is a difficulty here. We are being asked to pass a Bill--the noble Lord, Lord Elis-Thomas is absolutely right; Clause 22 is the heart of the Bill--which transfers an enormous range of powers, and yet we are to have the greatest possible difficulty in understanding what we are doing. There is to be an order in due course. I believe that my noble friend said that we shall be able to debate it for an hour and a half--the result of a trawl through more than 300 Bills!
The reality is that we are being asked to pass this legislation largely on trust. We have to assume that the Government have got it right. We have to assume that the civil servants in my former department have gone through the right Acts, extracted the right powers, and included them in the order, and that everything that is being done is being done appropriately.
It is true that under earlier legislation powers were transferred to the Welsh Office--although it has to be said not quite on this scale. The process was spread over a number of years. I had some responsibility for the transfer of powers relating to local government--for example, grant-giving and education powers were transferred step by step in different pieces of legislation. It was possible to consider step by step what was being done in the case of the Welsh Office.
I do not have a solution to the problem that confronts us. Like my noble friends who spoke from the Benches behind me, I am simply confused as to exactly what it is we are doing; and I think it right that this place should understand what it is being asked to do. We should not be misled into believing that all is clarity, and that we as a legislative assembly are clearly in command of the actions that we are taking. I do not believe that to be the case. We are having to take on trust the actions of the Government and those who have done the trawl, and hope that they get it right.

Recap | Box Score | Photo Gallery
Coach Holbrook
Opening Statement
We're pleased with the win. I thought that Jordan [Montgomery] was terrific and Cody [Mincey] and Joel [Seddon] were obviously very good in their one-inning stints, as well. We pride ourselves on pitching and playing defense and that's what we did today. I was disappointed in the way we played offensively. Our plate approach wasn't what we work on on a daily basis, but when you pitch and play defense you have a chance to win every game. That's what we're doing right now. Again, Jordan was terrific. I thought for a period in the game he struggled with his change-up, but it was only for a couple of innings. He threw some good ones there at the beginning of the game and some good ones at the end. When they [Eastern Kentucky] got runners at third with less than two outs he really bowed his neck and made some big-time pitches. The strikeout with the runner on third and one out on the cutter, that was maybe his best pitch of the game. He's an unflappable kid, as we all know. It seems like when he gets challenged and people get out there, he's at his best. And that was certainly the case today. All in all it was a good win for us. Hopefully we come back and swing the bats a little bit better tomorrow. You have to give credit to their pitcher. Brent Cobb is a senior, he can change speeds and he pitches in and out. I'm not displeased with the production, I'm just displeased with our approach. Hopefully, we'll get better with that tomorrow.
On what makes Montgomery so difficult for hitters
He has some deception which means he is very difficult to pick up. He kind of throws the ball from behind his head a little bit and that's tough for a pitcher and it's normally pretty quick. It might show 88 on the radar gun, but it's a little faster than that when it comes to what the hitter feels. But he's also got some really good off-speed pitches and on top of that he's got great command. You can't look for one side of the plate because he throws in and out. He's got his change-up going, he's got his cutter that he can throw in to righties and he's a good pitch against lefties too. He can also drop a curve ball in there. It's a lot for a college hitter to think about, especially when he throws them all for strikes. We feel very, very good when he's on the mound, obviously.
On his satisfaction with the shutout
Our pitchers are throwing the ball extremely well. I'm blessed to have the best pitching coach in the country in Coach [Jerry] Meyers He calls an incredible game, game in and game out and the kids execute the game plan. On top of that, those three guys that pitched today are older guys. They've been around the block, they're mature, and they command the strike zone. That being said, we need to play better. I'm not sitting up here tickled to death how we played today. We got doubled off on a line drive to the shortstop and it is inexcusable for that to happen. I thought that on Brison [Celek]'s hit, Connor Bright should have been at third base and the next pitch was a sac-fly where it could have been 5-0. Those plays right there can get you beat. But all in all, if you tell me we're going to pitch and play defense every game, I'll take it. I'm very, very pleased with that part of it.
Junior left-handed pitcher Jordan Montgomery
On his scoreless streak
Actually I forgot about the streak recently until the last outing and something reminded me. Of course I'm going out there and trying to throw up zeros on every inning. I guess trying to keep that streak alive is more incentive to throw up zeros, but mostly I just try to help out the team.
On his performance
Every game I try to control the plate. That's kind of what I'm known for, throwing in and out, trying to keep the batters off balance a little bit. I'm throwing a changeup every now and then, just to let them know it's there, just trying to do everything I can to keep them off balance and guessing.
On his feelings about his first two starts of the season
I'm kind of a perfectionist. There are things I know I did wrong or that I could do better. Looking back on these [games] next week I'll how to throw my flat grounds better. I gripped my changeup a little too much today, that's why I was throwing in the dirt a few times. I know I need to pound the zone better, two walks I know of course isn't good. I plan to keep doing a little better after every start.
Senior first baseman Kyle Martin
On his performance
I feel very comfortable right now. I haven't changed my approach. I'm still trying to go up there and do the same thing every time, no matter if I get out or if I hit one hard. I think that's what has kept me going so far.
On the shutout and pitchers' performances
No matter what, we're going to try to go out there and score runs for our defense. We have a great pitching staff from (Jordan) Montgomery to (Wil) Crowe and (Jack) Wynkoop. They all go out there and do what they do best and we just try to back them up.
Sophomore second baseman Max Schrock
On his second homerun of the season
That pitcher [Brent Cobb] was really good. I was just trying to see something up, he gave me something up and I was aggressive on the pitch and put a good swing on it.
On Jordan Montgomery's performance
He's fun to watch for sure. He's a great pitcher, he's hitting his spots, he's locating every pitch and his change up is obviously very good. He pitched well today he pitched very, very well.
On the three straight shut out
I think our program is built on pitching and defense and I think we've been doing those very well. I think we've had one error I think maybe in our games so far. That's pretty good for our team. Obviously our pitchers have done very well, they're locating and throwing all their pitches for strikes and that's crucial

Agudath Israel of America Allegedly Pressuring Yeshivas And Camps To Hire Convicted Sex Offender Rabbi Yehuda Kolko
By Failed Messiah Blog
June 30, 2011
Agudah is allegedly telling camps and yeshivas to book buses through Rabbi Yehuda Kolko's new booking agency. Why the strong arm tactics to help a convicted sex offender? Because allegedly Agudah believes Kolko – whose crimes are very well documented – is innocent.DovBear posted a letter from a reader who has a friend in the tour bus booking business. He teaches full time in a yeshiva and does the bus business part time.
For years he's booked buses for camps linked to Agudah. And so he did this year – until they cancelled.
He asked the logical question of these Agudahniks – why are you canceling? I've served you well all these years. My proces are fair. What did I do wrong?
And this is what he heard:
...In the past 20 years, my friend has been arranging buses for all the frum camps and has given them fair prices and excellent service. Two of his biggest accounts were Camp Agudah and Camp Bnos. They booked with him again this year like in all years past. However he received a call a week before the buses were scheduled to go out from the camp administrators saying that they had to cancel. When he asked why, he was told that they were ordered by the higher ups in Agudah to give the business to Rabbi Kolko who needs the parnassah [income] since he is now unable to teach due to the false accusations against him. In the past week several other camps have cancelled buses with my friend and followed the lead of Agudah and Bnos. The other camp directors told him that they were contacted by "gedolim" whom they refused to identify and told to give Rabbi Kolko the parnassah and had no choice but to obey.
My friend said it is ironic that Kolko is rewarded for doing an "aveirah" and he who has spent his entire life doing nothing but mitzvos and chesed has to bear the punishment by losing the customers to Kolko....
Rabbi Kolko now lives in Lakewood, New Jersey.


text: How do you deal with betrayal? Like someone you thought was a friend only pretended to be your friend to get something from you or use you...you placed your trust in them, only for them to stab you in the back. How do you know whom to trust? Especially christians..as they not immune..I seem to be betrayed more with church/religious ppl than my other friends. I don't ask others to keep secrets (as only tell my secrets to God) I don't mean that I mean they just treat you badly and you thought you being nice to them but all along they just tolerating you and after you for their own gain or own reasons and you find out they don't even like you that much. It really hurts. And they the one who wanted to be friends with you in the first place.

Wardrobe V1
We are pleased to announce Wardrobe has now reached an official V1 release. In the past few weeks Ryan Tablada has been super busy converting everything over to a composer package which is going to be huge going forward.
Some of the benefits of having this as a composer package is that future upgrades will be as simple as running "composer update". Which will fetch the latest backend code and move all the admin assets. So everything is pretty much automated.
A second benefit is now you can install it into an existing Laravel application just as easy. For instructions on installing it this way please see the readme.md in the core repo.
An important change is all the development is now moved to a github organization. So if you wish to follow along or report issues please visit https://github.com/wardrobecms. The current repos are:
- wardrobe - The project repo
- core - The main code base
- docs - The documentation as seen on this site.
- locales - A repo to hold community submitted language files.
It feels great to get a v1 released but still lots of work to accomplish. My next goals are to get a community directory up so people can share themes and other code. Plus all the other features that I want to add in the core.
There is no way I could have done all this alone. The community has been awesome! Thank you.

Well Being
Kim Kardashian Is Pregnant; I Give Her Announcement Of A Post-Pregnancy Weight Loss Deal About A Day
Well, Kim Kardashian is pregnant with Kanye West's baby. I always knew it was a matter of time until a Kimye baby; it's also just a matter of time until she announces the inevitable post-pregnancy weight loss deal. Because a woman as famous as Kim can't become a mother without promising the public she's going to lose that baby weight just as quickly as she possibly can.
Kanye announced the news last night at a concert in Atlantic City, singing "Now you having my baby" during one of his songs. According to PEOPLE, he also "asked concertgoers to congratulate his "baby mama" and called the pregnancy the "most amazing thing."
Aww. Well, I'm glad he's excited (although apparently he announced the pregnancy without her knowledge or permission, which is not cool, regardless of how overjoyed he is). Let's just hope he doesn't contribute to all of the negative body attention Kim is sure to receive now that she's carrying a tiny person inside her body, as Kanye is said to have been weirdly concerned about Kim's weight in the past.
Like Jessica Simpson, Kim is a naturally "curvy" woman who has been pretty vocal about her struggles with weight and body image (although I also think Kim's body image messages are VERY mixed.) She's also, inexplicably, one of the biggest celebrities in the country; I'd argue that a significant portion of why she's famous is due to her body, especially her famous butt. When you combine huge celebrity and fame specifically tied to her body with a pregnancy, you're bound to see a veritable storm of weight concern trolling, weight speculation and body attention from the media. It's going to be crazy, I can feel it.
I've written before about America's obsession with policing women's bodies, especially those of pregnant women. It's like the media is constantly salivating over the possibility of a female celebrity getting pregnant, but as soon as she is, it's all about how much weight she's gained and how she's going to lose it once her baby is born. It's a ridiculous reinforcement of the madonna-whore complex; a strange deification of motherhood combined with copious amounts of fascination, shame, and snark. I can't imagine that Kim Kardashian is going to be any different. In fact, I imagine the attention on her pregnant and postpartum body will only be more obsessive, more intense, more all-encompassing.
But Kim, I imagine, is aware of all of this. She has, in the few years she's been famous, been able to capitalize on her body and her fame in a shrewd (if dangerous) way. Kim's shilled for shady weight loss drug QuickTrim in the past, but she's also known for her hardcore workouts with celebrity trainer Harley Pasternak; she tweets about her workouts all the time and she constantly shares pictures of herself in bikinis. She knows that the public cares about her body and what she does with it. I imagine she'll announce a deal with a weight loss company like Jenny Craig or Weight Watchers very soon, just so we can all watch her pregnancy progress, knowing she's contractually obligated to lose the weight just as soon her child leaves her body. Ugh.
If you couldn't tell, Kim's not necessarily my favorite celebrity. But that doesn't mean I'm not wishing her and Kanye congratulations; they really seem to love each other (from what I can glean from celebrity gossip..not a whole lot, obviously) and it's cute how excited Kanye is. They have all the resources in the world to be great parents and I'm sure they are very, very happy. Still, I'm hoping that Kim will be able to focus on having a healthy and relaxed pregnancy, regardless of the weight her body's gaining or how much she'll have to lose when the 9 months are up.

Drowzee (Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky)
Drowzee is a non-player character in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness and Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky. He is first met in Treasure Town, helping Azurill and Marill to find a lost item.
However, he is later revealed to have kidnapped Azurill so he could access a treasure supposedly hidden inside of a small cavern at the peak of Mt. Bristle. He was confronted by the player and partner shortly after and fought them. After he is defeated, he is arrested by Magnezone and the Magnemite.
Later, when Azurill has nightmares, it is revealed that he was let out of prison for good behavior and is training on Mt. Travail, and that he has the power to get inside other's dreams. He is asked by the player and partner to help Azurill. He accepts because he is sorry for what he did to Azurill before and wants to make it up to him. He then sends the player and partner into Azurill's nightmare, telling them that if he went along they would only be slowed down.
Afterwards, he becomes good friends with Marill and Azurill, but leaves Treasure Town after the player and partner defeat Darkrai.

The average speed-reader learns to read twice as fast with half the comprehension. Normal reading comprehension is about 55%; speed-reading comprehension is about 27.5%. Before choosing to speed-read something, you need to decide if you're okay with understanding so little. Sometimes it will be acceptable; for example, when you just want the big picture on a topic.
Because normal reading comprehension is 55%, anything you need to know thoroughly is worth reading twice. It's a must, actually. But, this article is about taking the speed-reading route. How can speed-reading help your writing?
Speed-Reading Helps You Research Faster
Think of how much you read when you research. You read fluff material with very little info. You read info that's off track but interesting. You read material that's right on track but doesn't deliver all the info you need. You also read articles and books that are exactly what you need. You may even read some of your own old articles and books to make sure you aren't repeating yourself.
If you speed read all of that material, you will understand only half as much as reading at normal speed. That's a good thing for the material that doesn't feed your research. It's also a good thing for what's on target. When you read it a second time at normal speed, you get a combined comprehension of 82.5%. Yes, I heard that objection. There will be some overlap. My estimate is high.
Speed-reading helps you revise faster
If you only write short articles and stories, speed-reading might not make a big difference. One way to make it useful, is to work on many short pieces. Read through your works in progress quickly; revise, move on to the next piece, and go go go.
If you write long papers or books, speed-reading can help a lot.
Almost nobody writes the first draft of a book in one sitting. Between sittings, life happens and you forget where you were. Speed-reading is a great way to play catch up in any draft. It's also the faster way to review other chapters for info to maintain consistency in your story or text.
Speed-reading is also the fastest way to proofread for flow. When the flow isn't smooth, you will suddenly become bogged down. Ask yourself what went wrong and fix it. Other kinds of proofreading will require you to read slower than normal; sentence structure and spelling, for example.
Final draft readings are also speed-readings. I read my final drafts far too many times and yet it still isn't enough. Mistakes still get published. Speed-reading can help. So can putting time between final draft readings.
In this article, I've been practicing cutting unnecessary words and sentences. I hope it isn't too short to be interesting.
