IFC, the private sector investment arm of the World Bank, is backing Lighthouse's new $125 million India-focused SME fund with commitment of around $25 million of the corpus. Christened India 2020 Fund II, it will offer growth equity of $5-15 million per investment for a significant minority stake.
The fund aims to invest in sectors which benefit from and promote consumer demand & purchasing power including healthcare, education, rural consumption and agribusiness.
MUSE Capital Advisors Ltd will act as the investment manager of the fund.
The new fund is a successor to India 2020 Fund I - a 2008 vintage fund of $100 million that had an estimated exit gross IRR of 30 per cent.
From the first fund, Lighthouse has invested in portfolio companies such as IDiscoveri Education, Innoventive Industries, Imperial Spirits, Dhanuka Agritech, Unibic India, Shaily Engineering Plastics, Words Infocom, Concept Hospitality and Miles Software.
Last year, it exited its investment in Mumbai-based Radiant Hospitality Services Pvt Ltd when the UK-based OCS Group acquired the firm for a total consideration of Rs 30 crore.
Compared to the first fund, healthcare appears to be the additional focus area for investments out of the second fund.
Set up in the US in 2001 by Mukund Krishnaswamy (former executive of Lehman Brothers' private equity team) and W Sean Sovak, Lighthouse has been investing in India since 2006. The mid-market-focused private equity fund has Boris Siperstein and Sachin Bhartiya as partners, and also roped in Brian Larcombe as an advisor. Larcombe is the former global CEO of UK-based and LSE-listed private equity fund 3i Group.

My kids actually got me into the WWE,. I try to watch them all but my favorite is Smackdown. I seem to be more into it now because of my health problems. Back in March, I had a mini stroke that caused cognitive and other health issues. I had no where else to go but watch tv and gain weight. My boyfriend isn't as much as I am into the WWE but he watches too. My favorite wrestlers are,Jeff Hardy, Matt Hardy, John Morrison, John Cena,Undrtaker and Rey Mysterio.
I just enjoy watching wrestling even though I know it is just stories but it is entertaining to watch.Matt and Jeff Hrdy and John Morrison aresmokin' hot as well so that helps. Jeff isn't on Smackdown anymore but his brother is and it is just entertaining. I like Matt's pants these days. He has a great ass!

A California father is outraged after his 10-year-old daughter was patted down for nearly two minutes after mistakenly leaving a Capri Sun juice in her bag.
Kevin Payne, from San Diego, used his cell phone to video the encounter on Dec. 30 at the Raleigh-Durham International Airport.
"My dad was making funny faces silly faces in the mirror and I felt like screaming the whole time," Payne's daughter Vendela told NBC San Diego.

The YouTube Payne posted of the pat down has gone viral with over 70,000 views. In it, the father added descriptions on the screen to explain how the TSA agent kept going over the same parts of his daughter's body multiple times.

"In all, the pat-down and other extra screenings took about an hour, Payne said. The only way the family made it onto the plane was because it was delayed," NBC San Diego reported.

Nico Melendez, a TSA spokesman, provided a statement to the San Diego Union-Tribune, which read: "Since pat-down screening is conducted to determine whether prohibited items are concealed under clothing, sufficient pressure must be applied in order to ensure detection."
Payne is not persuaded. "The only difference between a standard adult pat-down and the search of his child was that the search of Vendela took almost twice as long as it probably should have," he said.

WINNIPEG - John White didn't think he'd be busy on Friday night.
That all changed when the Edmonton Eskimos tailback got his starting job back after Shakir Bell was injured late in Wednesday's practice.
White stepped in and made the most of the opportunity, rushing 19 times for 104 yards and a pair of touchdowns in Edmonton's 40-26 victory over the Winnipeg Blue Bombers Friday.
He also caught seven passes for 64 yards and ran in a two-point convert after a Derel Walker touchdown reception.
"I was dealing with a little adversity this week and I wasn't sure if I was going to play," White said outside an Edmonton locker-room that was loud with cheers.
"The day before we had to leave, I was up. I just had to show everybody that I'm a professional. At the last minute, anything can happen and you've got to make sure you know what you're doing and you're prepared."
The second straight victory evened Edmonton's record at 7-7 and gave the CFL club the three-game season series (2-1) against Winnipeg (8-6), which dropped its second in a row.
Edmonton head coach Jason Maas praised White.
"I'm very proud of John," Maas said. "I've probably never been more proud of a player since I've been coaching in five years.
"To step up in short notice with all the pressure that I'm sure he put on himself, to take over that load. He did an outstanding job tonight — protection, running the ball, catching the ball in the backfield. He was tremendous tonight."
Maas said Bell, who had replaced an injured White the two previous games, wasn't hurt bad in practice and should be available in the "near future."
The coach isn't sure who'll get the nod to start in the next game Oct. 10 in Montreal, although he pointed out he's always viewed both White and Bell as starting tailbacks even though only one can play.
"I wish we could both be out there. It would be double trouble," White said with a grin. "That's my brother, Shak."
Eskimos quarterback Mike Reilly completed 32-of-38 pass attempts for 355 yards with no interceptions and a pair of touchdowns to Adarius Bowman and Walker, who are first and second respectively in the CFL in receiving yardage.
Bowman caught a 15-yard TD pass and Walker put up a 61-yard catch-and-run. Walker had 10 catches for 120 yards and Bowman 10 grabs for 97 yards.
Kicker Sean Whyte was good on three field goals from 28, 20 and 10 yards, plus three converts. The Esks added two points when Winnipeg conceded a safety.
Bombers quarterback Matt Nichols was 26-of-41 passing for 330 yards, two TDs and one interception.
Winnipeg kicker Justin Medlock connected on four field goals from 40, 23, 38 and 54 yards, a convert and added a single. A two-point convert attempt was unsuccessful.
Weston Dressler and Clarence Denmark had TD catches in front of a home crowd of 24,706 at Investors Group Field.
A key stat in the loss was Winnipeg's 15 penalties for 166 yards, compared to Edmonton's seven for 80 yards.
Bombers defensive back Kevin Fogg had a punt return TD called back because of a penalty — the fourth time that's happened to him this season.
"The penalties, that's what shot ourselves in the foot," Bombers defensive back Maurice Leggett said. "We can't do that against a great team."
Nichols was pleased the Bombers started off fast with Dressler's TD, but their consistency dropped and penalties hurt.
They will rebound, he vowed.
"I think we're still a game ahead of Edmonton in the West (Division) so, I mean, the sky's not following," Nichols said.
"We lost to a good football team, a team that outplayed us tonight. We'll get ready for a good B.C. team, a team that is barely ahead of us in the standings."
The game was tied 7-7 after the first quarter, but Edmonton went into halftime with a 24-10 lead.
Winnipeg got to 29-23 midway through the fourth quarter, but couldn't pull off a late comeback for the second straight game.

Union3 saved my wedding!!! Lindsey & Alexa were complete godsends. I had ideas and visions, but was overwhelmed by the details and Lindsey & Alexa came in and pulled it all together. The end result..... a stress-free bride (me), an absoultely spectacular and perfectly executed wedding and hands down the greatest day of my life. I originally reached out to Union3 for a day of planner, but quickly realized it would be MORE than worth it to bring them on for the final four months leading up to our wedding. Working a pretty demanding full time job, I found lots of little items (like say flowers, invitations, etc) slipping through the cracks. Well.... Alexa and Lindsey to the rescue!! They handled all the remaining vendor negotations and helped arrange every little detail. Leading up to the wedding, they were always available to answer any questions and our planning sessions had the feel of a night out on the town with girlfriends. I knew Lindsey ahead of hiring Union3, but after the past 6 months I consider them both dear friends. I've actually been having a lot of Union3 withdraw following the wedding! Anyway, they are extremely attentive and professional, but also fun and creative and easy to work with. They were always mindful of my budget - never pushing us to over extend and even negotiated fiercely on my behalf for savings on things like flowers and invitations. So leading up to the wedding they were fabulous, but the day of, they really shone!! As a very Type A bride, handing over control is not something that comes naturally. However, the trust I had in Union3 was complete and unwavering. I knew if I didn't have them on board I would spend my wedding day micromanaging everyone to try and make sure everyone was where they were supposed to be instead of soaking up the day. I am a psycho about time and timelines and if you can believe it, I spent my wedding day without my watch or phone. Just basking in the amazing day because I knew Lindsey and Alexa would have it under control. I'm sure little things went wrong behind the scenes, but Lindsey and Alexa never let me know and I thought the day was flawless. They were there for us until the bitter end - even helping fix my hair and dress (the hem tore from too much dancing) late into the evening. Bottom line - 100% Worth It. Easily the best decision I made in planning my wedding. I will confess to having gone into wedding planning thinking that no one needs a wedding planner and I can say now, I never would have survived without them. They really took the event to the next level and took the stress out of the planning process. You will not regret using Union3 for your wedding or any event for that matter. I miss them so much, I'm looking for excuses to hire them again - massive 1 year anniversary party, anyone!?

Union3 was fabulous to work with. They are knowledgable, professional, and extremely fun to work with. They made wedding planning a breeze. It felt like I was working with two friends rather than stuffy wedding planners. Our wedding was everything we had hoped for and it was because Union3 really listened to what we wanted and made it come to life. They are extremely detail oriented and organized. Our wedding went off without a hitch. I would highly recommend Union3 to any bride.
- A.G., Baltimore, MD
I can't imagine how we would have given our daughter the wedding of her dreams and mine without Union3 -- they were always so kind, prompt with returning our phone calls and wonderful in dealing with all the vendors. The event is still talked about by all of our friends and family. Their were 250 people at the wedding and every detail was perfect. Thanks so much Union3.
- D.C., Hunt Valley, MD
Union3Events provides phenomenal service. They are friendly and professional people, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Our wedding day was truly perfect and everyone in my family, myself included, was able to enjoy the day, and the months preceding it, because the women from Union3 truly did take care of every detail. They helped us find some of the very best wedding retailers in the area and also helped us negotiate excellent prices. Good listeners that will help you host an unforgettable event. Next to saying "Yes" to my wonderful husband, hiring Union3 was one of the best decisions I've ever made.
- K.S., Baltimore, MD
I honestly can't say enough about the amazing ladies behind Union3 Event Productions! I recently worked a wedding with Alexa and Lindsey & they were absolutely phenomenal! From the details to the timeline, the entire wedding ran beautifully and it was such a pleasure spending the day with these two! I highly recommend Union3 and can't wait for the next chance to work with them! Love these ladies! - Natalie Franke Photography
I'm not sure how or where to begin expressing our thanks to you for what you helped us accomplish. We've received a large share of praise from guests already and we all feel so very proud of what was presented on Saturday night. Starting the night of, from guests as they entered the party, to the letters, emails and calls we've received, we have enjoyed hearing how much people loved the party, the design, the messages, etc. We truly hit the goal of an appropriate celebration – not too much, but not too little – just what we heard from members of our community while we were planning and, in turn, requested of you. We simply couldn't have done it without your insight, creativity or patience with our process. We are so grateful for your expertise and confidence. We are just so appreciative of everything you did.- St. Pauls School
I can't thank you enough for all that you did. You are very organized and on top of things which makes the entire planning and executing process of a big event so much smoother! I will definitely recommend you to friends and organizations that I am involved with.
- S.R., Sparks, MD
I don't even know where to start!! You were incredible!! We have had so many calls and emails from friends who had such a fantastic time, and thought it was one of the best (events) they ever attended...You did such a fantastic job of putting it all together. You can't imagine the relief it was to me to not have to be the one running things. I'm usually the one who has to get everyone moving in the right direction. ...The ballroom, bar and patio looked like a wonderland. The tables, flowers - just everything - were all we wanted and more...I know I couldn't have had as much fun as I did if I had to think about organizing and executing that last week. All I had to do was relax and enjoy myself with my family.-
J.K., Phoenix, MD
Our conference was an overwhelming success thanks largely to the professionalism, dedication and attention to detail of Union3. Alexa Lindsey and Erika went above and beyond to make sure that no detail was overlooked. The feedback from our participants confirmed that hiring Union3 was well worth the investment. I heartily recommend Union3 Event Productions.

Regions of Bulgaria
Since 1999, Bulgaria has been divided into 28 provinces which correspond approximately to the 28 okrugs that existed before 1987. From 1987 until 1999 Bulgaria was divided into 9 larger oblasts.
Each oblast is named after its capital. In the case of Sofia Oblast and Sofia City, Sofia is the capital of both provinces, but its territory is only included in Sofia City.
The provinces are further subdivided into municipalities (община, obshtina).

Bienvenue mais ton image n'est pas de la bonne taille
I want to believe that I'm not wrong. I want to believe that life isn't full of darkness. Even if storms come to pass, the sun will shine again. No matter how painful and hard the rain may beat down on me.

THERE is a village, Godoy Cruz, on the outskirts of the Argentine city of Mendoza, where there will always be for Dr. Daniel R. Alonso a young boy racing from his father's bakery to buy sugary cakes known as alfajores, pleading for money to see the latest romantic American films of the 1950's and mixing boiling water in a hollow gourd with the greenish herbal tea known as maté.
The rituals of youth haunt all, but especially those who have left home, language, culture and finally identity behind. Adaptation, hard in the utilitarian world of a New York hospital, is a kind of forced march, an abandonment of much, an assumption, at least outwardly, of much more. Exile, even for those who find a measure of success, is always sad, always a kind of death.
''I listen to Gustav Mahler most evenings,'' said Dr. Alonso, 63. ''I can anticipate his every note. He is dark and brooding. Death permeates all of his symphonies. He was always in despair.''
Dr. Alonso, whose professional career has never strayed from Cornell University's medical school, was, until two months ago, the senior associate dean for academic affairs there. He has been appointed to be the dean of the Weill Medical College of Cornell University in Qatar, the school's newest venture. It caps a career that rejected the Argentine obsessions with psychoanalysis, nationalist hubris and populist politics. Dr. Alonso moves to Qatar next spring.
Of his country's better-known doctor, Che Guevara, who climbed mountains, raced motorcycles, fought alongside Fidel Castro in Cuba and died leading a doomed peasant uprising in Bolivia, he shares little. ''I went to a rally once where his mother spoke about her son,'' he said. ''He was already famous then.''Continue reading the main story
His parents emigrated from Spain in an effort to rise above subsistence farming. But, given the upheavals and chronic mismanagement that have plagued Argentina since the 1930's, it was clear to Mr. Alonso's father that his children's future would probably be better spent somewhere else. ''When I was 10, my father sent me to learn English three times a week, something I did not care for at the time but saw the wisdom of later,'' he said.
His steady progression in English, momentarily knocked off balance as a teenager when he found he could not penetrate the Brooklyn accent of a visiting photographer, paid off. It was, as his father had anticipated, his way out.
''The chairman of the surgery department in Mendoza was trained in oncological surgery across the street at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Institute,'' he said, seated in his office on York Avenue. ''He invited a Fulbright scholar, a surgeon from Rochester, N.Y., Charles D. Sherman Jr. He went to Mendoza for six weeks. This created a wonderful opportunity. I became very close to this American surgeon. I was his official interpreter. I followed him on his rounds. I translated his lectures sentence by sentence. He was my mentor. He wrote letters of recommendation. I was able to do my residency in Bellevue. The first nine programs I applied for were all in New York. I was attracted to the city I had seen in the movies.''
Dr. Alonso arrived to do a residency in surgery in 1965 but switched after three months to pathology at Cornell. He never left the school. It took him nine years, he said, to begin thinking and dreaming in English. As Argentina stumbled, he drove home each night to Scarsdale, N.Y. Of his two brothers, one remains in Argentina, a retired air force pilot. His other brother, after spending 21 months in jail without charges, lives in exile in Sweden. ''My friends saw their careers depend totally on who was in power,'' he said. ''As the governments changed rapidly, so did their fortunes. This was one of the reasons I left. There was no stability. I thought I would train here for five years and go home. In the end, I realized there was no going back.''
BUT bits of Mendoza cling to him. He shops at an Argentine store in Jackson Heights, Queens,carting the imported products back to his university apartment. He uses the Internet to listen to Argentine stations that play tango music by Carlos Gardel. His favorite song by the morose performer, who has a cult following, is ''Volver,'' or ''Return.''
''The snows of time have changed the color of my hair,'' he recited. He drifted off for a moment. ''Most of my best friends remain in Mendoza,'' he said softly.
Comfort must come now from his career. The new school in Qatar will be built west of Doha, the capital, in a compound known as Educational City. ''How often does a medical educator get to build a medical school from scratch, even designing the building?'' he said, dressed in a starched white lab coat and black loafers. ''I have been teaching, conducting research and working as a dean for a long, long time. My entire professional life has been a preparation for this challenge. No American university has ever established a medical program and granted a medical degree in a foreign country.''
Before he leaves New York next March or April, he plans a final trip to Jackson Heights to buy a few pounds of maté, which he will stuff into his suitcase, along with his Mahler recordings.
''I have been here long enough,'' he said.Continue reading the main story

Australia Eco Lodges-Tours
Australia and Oceania – Australia Ecotourism
A good non profit for information about ecotourism in Australia is Ecotourism Australia. They offer an Eco certification program for Australian products as well as ecotourism enterprises. The fees for eco lodges and tours are high but every three years they make a visit so it's a hands on type of certification. Just keep in mind that the smaller Australia Eco Lodges may not be able to afford this type of certification. This is part of the reason we created our Online Eco Rating Exam. Without a 3rd party visit, this is the best way to help fight "green-washing" and yet be affordable for all eco lodges.
The Queensland government has implemented a plan, at the core of which is "Queensland is Australia's number one ecotourism destination and recognized as a world leader in ecotourism, delivering best practice nature-based experiences that contribute to the conservation of our natural resources and cultural heritage." The Great Barrier Reef is located off the coast of Queensland in north east Australia.
At present we have no Australia Eco Lodges-Tours but we are actively looking so please check back.

Laughter is the Best Medicine
So each step needs to be taken one after the other, and often there's a lot of time that passes in between. On Monday I'm taking the next one, and having my blood test for type 2A...I already know I don't have 1A. One down, only one to go...hopefully! According to my insurance company, the test will be covered...all $900 of it. I'm hoping they stick to their word, as that seems to be a skill a lot of insurances are severely lacking these days! And I'm praying the test shows that I have type 2A, and finally the mystery will be solved...and within a couple of years there will be a medication that stops me from getting any worse. There is a good chance I have this type, but if it turns out that I don't it kind of puts me back at square one...each type is tested individually, with a $900 price tag attached. And the waiting game will begin once again, as I wait as patiently as possible for the medication to be discovered for 1A and 2A, so the focus can turn in a new direction. I have found that I can be very patient in a lot of different circumstances...though I'm not sure if this will count as one of them!
So as I sit here waiting for Monday to come (while trying desperately not to gnaw all my nails off,) I realize I need a distraction. I have my painting to turn to, though when I take a break from creating I need to have something to fill the gap. So I started thinking about funny stories from my past to change my focus, as laughter always does that quite nicely! There's a lot of memories that come to mind. One in particular occurred during a big change in my life, when I was 13 years old. I grew up in the country across from a cornfield, with willow trees and a little creek in my back yard...people seemed few and far between in those days, my best friend at the time living a mile away. Now my best friend (a different person,) lives about 30 seconds away! My current world is much different than my sheltered country childhood, and when my parents decided to move the family to Guilderland, NY, we might as well have been moving to China. Uprooting our lives was a scary prospect, though essential to shorten my parent's commute to their jobs in Albany. I was quite shy at that age, and as I didn't drive I couldn't see the sense in our move...all I knew was the school I would be transferring to was HUGE, no one would like me, and I was positive I would never see another tree as long as I lived.
Most of that turned out to be false...the school was huge, but I met my best friend K on my very first day (the one who is now 30 seconds away.) And we had trees in our yard--front and back, and although there were other houses across the street instead of corn, there was still enough foliage to make me happy! Though on my last day at my old school I didn't know things would work out, and the fear of change was larger than the change itself, as it often tends to be. I don't remember much from that day...I'm sure I barely said a word to anyone, and probably didn't learn a thing. All I do know is how scared I was, not only of where I was going but that I was going in the middle of the school year...friends would already be paired up at the new school, and teachers would already have their routine. I would be an interruption...and my brain just couldn't get past that. So on that last day my morning classes came and went, and soon it was lunch time. I stood in line with my plastic yellow tray, not paying much attention to the food that was placed on top. Finally I was in front of the lunch lady running the cash register..."That'll be $1.17," she said to me, and I reached into my pocket. Ooops! I thought, as I realized my pocket was empty!
To this day I don't know where I got the courage to say it--normally a problem like that would send me into a panic! But for some reason I didn't panic at all...maybe that was because not having the money to pay for lunch was small potatoes, compared to the changes I was facing? I'm not really sure. All I know was I looked her straight in the eyes and replied, "Well, this is my last day, cause my family's moving...and I have no money. So consider it a gift!" and I grabbed my plastic tray and left the line.
Really, if I could go back in time and ask that 13 year old Christine where she found the chutzpah to say those words, I would...if I could bottle that calmness, I'd do that too. Maybe the trick is to remember that no matter how scary things seem, the obstacles placed in front of us are usually surmountable...or maybe I just need to remember that laughter is always the best medicine, and to laugh as much as possible. If nothing else, I probably made that lady smile, and got a free lunch in the process. And in the end I'm left with a funny memory, to last me a lifetime!

What a beautiful post Christine, marked always by your positive nature! God bless you and know that my prayers are always with you.ReplyDelete
I love that story by the way - there is such a thing as a free lunch after all!
Please keep us posted as to how you are doing. God bless.
P.S. I finally met your mom last week. She is lovely- just like you are.
And I was always told " There is no free lunch " !ReplyDelete
Why you had ten times the grit even back then , that you never even realized . I always find myself somewhere in your stories , whether they be the ones you choose from growing up , or the weekly trip to the grocery store .
That endearing country girl has grown into her place in society, and that "grit " , and your abundance of drive , and faith , has made you a very admirable woman . [ KUDOS ]
You are a visionary with your art and your talent . Yet you are patient enough to break down these steps concerning your health , and bravely mount them singularly as they keep coming ; one after the other .A most courageous young woman.
Sending you every bit of "positive energy " I have , and keeping you in my prayers ,God's Blessings upon you .
A much wiser man then I once said ; "To be positive , you must think positive ".
Great story! Laughter helps everything. Hope you don't have to wait too long to get your results.ReplyDelete

Here is a remarkable debut short-story collection by a fresh and captivating new voice in American literature.Z. Z. Packer's first collection of short stories is rich with unexpected turns, indelible images, and penetrating insight that belies someone so young. Her stories plunge us into the worlds of people living on the edge and to the flashpoints that make or break them, that shape their worldviews forever. In "The Stranger", a third-grade girl tries to find her place in the microcosm of summer camp in the larger world during the height of the Atlanta child murders in 1981. The girl's bathroom at camp is the setting for a clash between an all-black and an all-white Brownie troop in "Brownies". And two young women prod the boundaries of friendship and love in "Drinking Coffee Elsewhere".A highly anticipated debut from an award-winning young writer.More
"The clear-voiced humanity of Packer's characters, mostly black teenage girls, resonates unforgettably through the eight stories of this accomplished debut collection." (Publishers Weekly)
"This is the old-time religion of storytelling, although Packer's prose supplies plenty of the edge and energy we expect from contemporary fiction." (The New York Times Book Review)
"ZZ Packer's prose is vivid and often comic...Her vision sizzles and fizzes." (John Updike)

Lousy chapter breaks
The chapter breaks in this book are awful making it very difficult to go to a specific short story when you want to. This also goes for "Fine Just the Way It Is" by Annie Proulx.

OUYA To Offer 104 Titles at Launch, Day-One Update Ready to Download and Install
Recently we learned that the OUYA will be available for purchase through select retailers on June 4th, for $99. OUYA also started sending out shipping notifications to folks who backed the console when it first appeared on Kickstarter.
Black Friday 2017 Deals: Find Great Deals on Android Smartphones, TV's, Smart Speakers, Chromebooks and More.
Julie Uhrman, the CEO of OUYA, and her team sent out some emails to Kickstarter backers to clue them in as to what they should expect once they get their console. There's already a mandatory software update ready, which users will have to download and install once the console is finally unboxed and plugged in.
Also mentioned were the 104 launch titles that are ready to download and play instantly on the console. Previously, I talked about the real issue with OUYA which was always going to be content delivery, or more specifically the amount of content offered. Just because of the niche market the console targets, it's hard to pinpoint what offerings will be available in the future as far as games are concerned. I seriously hope they're able to do this right because the OUYA has tremendous potential.
There are apparently 8,000 registered developers creating content for the platform, so it's a little strange to see only 104 games at launch. More are surely on the way, however.
The available games include titles like Beast Boxing Turbo, Stalagflight, and Knightmare Tower and more. To see the full list of titles that will be available for the OUYA, go here. Keep in mind, that's a working list, and it does not explicitly point out the titles that will be available at launch. It's also not part of the official OUYA forums either.
Let's not forget that the OUYA has also been confirmed as the perfect emulation device.
As promised, the games are free to try out and play for a bit, but they will eventually require some form of purchase. Furthermore, a credit or debit card is required upfront to download games onto the console.
I'm extremely excited for this console, and I can't wait to see the content that a lot of these developers are going to offer. In my opinion, the independent gaming scene has done so much more than the 'AAA' scene lately, it's not even funny.
How many of you are going to pick up the OUYA when it launches on June 4th? I'm getting ready to go pre-order mine soon, and I can't wait.

It can be intimidating and frustrating.
How can a Christian professional attempt to navigate the demands of the workplace in such a way that honors God?
How can my career be a means by which I can participate in God's mission in the world?
Is there more to work than making a paycheck, climbing the corporate ladder, and finding my worth in promotions and accolades?
Can my job be a calling? What does God want to do in and through me through my work?
Where can I get encouragement and advice?
Are there others out there like me that I can connect with over social media and maybe even meet with regularly that can help me live the way I believe Christ wants me to live?
(re)integrate can help.
We have several options that will give you what you need.

Natural Canvas
Our canvas bags with leather detailing should only be spot cleaned. To spot clean, blot stains using a damp sponge and a bit of soap. Repeat if necessary. Our all-canvas bags can be washed on gentle with cold water, wrung out and hung to dry. Cold water will prevent the bag from shrinking.
Waxed Fabric
Our waxed fabric products preclude normal cleaning, which means you won't be able to wash or dry clean it and they are design to wear beautifully without washing. At most, a periodic cleaning with a damp cloth is all that is needed. Bare areas can be refinished with our Martexin Original Wax refinishing compound which can help restore the wax finish. For wax application instructions, please visit: http://archivalclothing.com/tag/martexin/
For stains, spot clean by dabbing the affected area with a damp sponge and mild detergent or saddle soap. For upkeep and waterproofing, pure mink oil is most commonly used, but Neatsfoot oil also works well. When using oils, it is important to keep in mind that they will darken the original color of the leather: mink oil will give a deep, reddish tone and darken the leather to a burnt caramel coloring, while Neatsfool oil will give a soft yellow, light/medium brown tone. After oiling, you can use a leather dressing, such as Obenauf or Pecards.
Indigo Dye
All indigo dyed products need to be treated separately from any other products. Please note that that color bleeding is normal and to be expected every time the product is cleaned.

Crescendo by Becca Fitzpatrick
The book was "supposed" to be about Nephilim's (half human, half angels) gathering recruits to fight fallen angels. Of course, Nora is a Nephilim, and the danger is always lurking that a fallen angel wants to kill her to become human, but Patch is her guardian angel, which means that probably won't happen. That was SUPPOSED to be the plot. Instead, the author spent 327 pages chronicling Nora's angst about breaking up with Patch, and his going out with Marcie, her slutty arch-enemy. Fitzpatrick tried to create a double-love triangle by having Nora run into her childhood friend, Scott, and develop a romance, but the whole thing was weak and contrived. In fact, the whole novel was one big, awful romance novel depicting three weak and pathetic girls who strove for male attention. Some might argue that all of this angst is based in reality, and I admit that I knew one or two girls in high school like this, but I wouldn't call them the norm, and I wouldn't want them to be the norm. Nora even contemplates suicide at one point, which I thought was totally irresponsible of the author. We want females to be empowered, not constantly fed the idea that they can't function without a boyfriend. And, definitely not that their lives aren't worth living without one!
The novel finally focused on the REAL plot around page 357 but not before Fitzpatrick exhausted the whole "Can we trust Patch" thing. Honestly, that was beaten to death in Book One, it was simply annoying in Book Two and detracted from the plot. Also, the reader heard a lot about Rixon throughout the novel, but never even met him until she was 300 pages in. Then, all of a sudden, the whole plot revolved around him. The whole novel was like this. All of the characters were shallow and underdeveloped, and their functions throughout were disjointed.
I won't read Book Three. In fact, regardless of the overall ratings on Goodreads, most people (I'm referring to my friends) despised this novel, and were too nice to give it the rating it deserves. Every author deserves a "dud," and I hope that this is simply the case with this one. Like I said, I really loved HUSH, HUSH, so I know Fitzpatrick is talented. I just don't know why she sold out on this one.

Victory re-enactments come in all shapes and sizes across Abruzzo and Fara Filiorum Petri's combustible one is one of the highlights. It is breathtakingly dramatic and very very loud, imagine 15 x 7 m high reed farchie interlaced with bangers being lit to celebrate an 18th-century defeat of the French!
In 1799 Saint Anthony Abate appeared in the town's nearby oak wood setting it on fire to turn the French invaders on their heel. As their way of expressing their eternal thanks to the saint of the ordinary people, the local townsfolk created the 'farchie' feast with a few historic pagan ablution rites thrown in.
Collecting the reeds for the farchie remains a job for the men who collect them over the winter from as far away as L'Aquila. Building a farchia is an art, it takes a week of carefully knotting the reeds together, any misalignment can mean them toppling over when being burnt and causing serious injuries amongst the crowd.
The ladies within each Contradaioli (district) work hard, collectively cooking for each nightly feast to reward for those hard working men! Imagine cooking 30 kg of pasta at night for your district to eat on top of your day job – that is what one lady I spoke to said she'd been juggling! But it is a period that is looked at with fondness, like any good celebration it looks backward and forwards and its feasts provide a perfect mid-winter pick me up until Carnevale comes bustling in.
Once the farchie have been ceremoniously paraded and stood upright in the piazza, a Jack be Nimble skinny boy shinnies up each of the farchia, and he unties the heavy marine looking style knot ¾ of the way up each one. It was at this point when I visited with my toddler son that, a similarly shaped knot began to grow in my stomach despite plenty of toddlers running about. That cord they untie is a string of bangers, which of course should have been expected, Italy is the land where having a good time equates to throwing a few and then a few more bangers. 15 x 7 metres high worth of bangers was going to be a lot for a 2.5 year old to handle.
The Farchie are lit, catherine wheels whizz, and of course the bangers furiously erupt. Unsurprisingly my little boy had had a meltdown, we went for a walk till the firecrackers had finished but smiles returned as we walked back into the cemetery's piazza and into the centre of the 15 farchie. Here circles of men create an electric atmosphere, belting out folk songs that I often hear but my rubbish British trained ears can never truly identify, accompanied by accordions, drums, and, of course fruity Montepulciano d'Abruzzo lubricant from demijohns. At 7 o'clock in the evening it sounded good, I am not sure what they sounded like at dawn! The farchie are perfect for warming bones, although standing in the middle of the fires made me think of being one of those little plastic characters pushed into a spongy birthday cake surrounded by candles being blown and blown till they are all gone.

The NBA season continues to heat up as all 30 teams are trying to compete for a title. Each team is constantly trying to improve its roster which is why many superstars have been linked in trade rumors. One team which has been frequently involved in NBA trade rumors is the Boston Celtics and the recent rumblings is that the team could make a major trade soon.
The Celtics is one of the up and coming teams in the NBA. Boston was in the playoffs last year, but they could not quite make a deep run against the powerhouse teams in the Eastern Conference. That is one reason why they are rumored to be making a huge trade before long.
Major Trade Coming?
According to NESN, the Celtics are continuing to explore a major trade to help improve their roster. They have a lot of future draft picks and young talent which would surely be very attractive to teams looking to rebuild. There are so many possible trade options though which would really put the Celtics in a very good position.
Read Also: NBA Trade Rumors: Omri Casspi to Ask Trade From Sacramento Kings Soon?
One possible trade target for the Celtics is big man DeMarcus Cousins from the Sacramento Kings. Boston has been rumored to be interested in Cousins for some time now, although it is not confirmed whether the Kings are looking to move the big man. With the losses piling up for Sacramento though it appears that moving Boogie would be one scenario the team will be exploring.
The Best in the East?
The addition of Cousins to the Celtics would instantly propel the team as one of the best in the Eastern Conference. With All-stars Isaiah Thomas and Al Horford already on the roster, Cousins would make Boston favorites in the East.

It is still unconfirmed though if this is the only big trade the Celtics are working on. Surely Boston will explore all its options as they try to make the team even better prepared for a deep playoff run.
Be sure to check back here soon to find out more news and updates on the latest NBA trade rumors as well as on other trending topics in the world of hoops.

Pictures of Mila Kunis Eating Tacos Outside Her Trailer on the Set of an LA Photo Shoot
Mila "Sweet Lips" Kunis Takes a Bite Out of Her Latest Project
Mila "Sweet Lips" Kunis Takes a Bite Out of Her Latest Project
Mila Kunis snacked on a taco and carried a large Starbucks beverage — think she'll try their new 31-ounce Trenta? — before having her hair and makeup done on the LA set of her latest photo shoot. The Black Swan actress stood out on the red carpet at Sunday's Golden Globes in an emerald green Vera Wang gown, but it was the acceptance speech from her costar Natalie Portman that stole the show. Best actress winner Natalie took the stage wearing a pink Viktor and Rolf gown and went on to thank her fiancé, family, and her talented costar, Mila "sweet lips" Kunis. Mila's kissing skills will be back on display with her next movie, Friends With Benefits, as she spends a great deal of time on the big screen making out with costar Justin Timberlake.

This project was created, first of all, to give the possibility to other people to meet my masters, Otilia and Luis, taking the medicine directly in the Amazon Forest, the place where it grows and where resides its energy. In doing this I wanted to create the best conditions to offer a good and accessible alternative to those who can not afford participating in expensive retreats.
It's very important to higlight that Ayahuasca Rebirth is not a "retreat center". What we offer is not an experience where you take Ayahuasca booking a retreat in a center that hires a shaman to give you the medicine in a comfortable place. What we offer is the possibility to meet two real curanderos, still working in their original environment, going directly to their homes in the jungle to work and take the medicine with them and their families, living with them in close contact with the jungle and its energy.
During the last decade the medicine has been spreading the world. Lots of people, shamans and facilitators, have been traveling the western countries offering ceremonies and retreats, and mixing the medicine with psychological techniques, enriching it with various religious and philosophical elements from different traditions. From a point of view, this is a very good thing, because the power of healing of the amazonian medicine is reaching lots of people who have never had the idea to travel looking for it. By the other hand, my opinion is that having the experience of the medicine in its own place, with professional and serious people, could have a better and bigger efficacy, bringing long lasting effects on the body and mind. Moreover, by adding to the medicine the component of the trip, renouncing to our habits and getting far from our usual environment and routine, the effects of the medicine can be really multiplied.
The idea of the "rebirth retreat", and its structure divided in two different phases, was brought by the insights the medicine gave me during the years of working with it. The two different phases are dedicated to the work with the two complementary energies that live in us and create us, the feminine energy of the mother and the masculine energy of the father.
The final aim is to make Otilia's and Luis's energy working together and completing each other. This synergy and union of the feminine and masculine energies in a rebirth process guided by the amazonian medicine has in my vision an extraordinary healing potential. It has a concentrated but balanced program, that makes the person work intensively for 15 days, having enough time and space to integrate the experience in the everyday life.
The decision to divide the retreat in two different phases, and to work in two different places and with different shamans, was taken to divide sharply the retreat in two different period, during which we will work with opposite energies.
During the first part, the re-born phase, when we will have the first contact with the energy of the medicine, we will be guided by the warm and maternal energy of Otilia. In the second phase we will work on getting stronger and bringing autonomy in our life, guided by the energy of Luis. The diet with amazonian plant will introduce us to the power of other master plants, different from ayahuasca, and the Kambo vaccine will give balance and stability to the process of healing and trasformation.
This kind of retreat is, in my opinion, also very suitable for people who have no previous experience with teacher plants. Deciding the program, in fact, I gave priority to the necessity of processing the experience, and so I opted for a well balanced number of ceremonies. Therefore I left enough space for working in group, moments of meditation, creative expression, sharing, singing and body-work, so that everyone can feel taken care of. There is also the possibility to have private chats, because the group is of 8 people maximum, and so the attention I give can be completely personalized.
The mistake I wanted to avoid is to create an Ayahuasca retreat with too many ceremonies, confusing "quality" with "quantity".

They have been rumored to be engaged in manufacturing a new variant in the Galaxy Series named Samsung Galaxy R and finally the manufacturer has come out of the dark to present the phone before the world.
This new Samsung mobile phone is a stripped down version of the Samsung Galaxy S as we make out from the specs and looks of the phone. The phone will be seeing a whole new set of features like the availability of a larger 4.19 inch super clear LCD full touch screen based display that is capacitive in nature.
Samsung Galaxy R will have a powerful dual core 1 GHz processor from the NVIDIA Tegra 2 processor family and will be running the 2.3.4 Version of Android Gingerbread. This deadly duo will provide the phone with scintillating performance standards and we can expect it to provide seamless multi tasking abilities.
This new Samsung mobile will have a powerful 5 Mega Pixel camera and is expected to provide high definition video recording in 720p video format. The phone also has a 1.3 Mega Pixel front camera that will enable it to enjoy video calling facilities on superfast 3G networks.
Samsung Galaxy R provides a bunch of software that allows playback of media files in a large number of well known media formats. It provides playback of MP3, MP4, AVI, WMV, WAV and even high definition h263 and h264 video formats. Besides these new Samsung mobile is equipped with a Stereo FM radio and a 3.5 mm universal audio jack for connectivity to external speakers and headphones bundled along with the device at the time of sale.
On the network and Internet connectivity side the phone has various internet access technologies like Wi-Fi, GPRS, and EDGE and also provides high speed 3G internet access. The phone also comes with Bluetooth and USB PC connectivity for inter machine data transfer at good speeds.
The notable Samsung Galaxy R specifications are
5 Mega Pixel Camera
1 GHz processor
Wi-Fi, 3G and Bluetooth
Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread OS
Up to 32 GB expandable Micro SD support
Java enabled
720p video recording
Music and video playback
The price of Samsung Galaxy R is not yet announced but it is sure to be priced lower than the Samsung Galaxy S. The phone will hit markets before the end of 2011 and we can expect a good product in the Smartphone segment with its launch.

Is a CT Scan neccessary every single year? A cancerous tumor was removed from my kidney in a partial nephractomy. My doctor says I need a CT Scan every year to see if it has returned. I have had a CT scan now every year for 7 years with no sign of recurrence of the cancer. I'm getting concerned that the radiation from the CT may create cancer where I would not have had it. After 7 years cancer free, Is there any other type of screening? Or can I have it done every few years, or is it really necessary every year? Anything to prevent kidney cancer?
Jun 02, 2013 - 11:46 am
Standard control schemes are usually every six month for two years and once a year for another three years. Thats in a NED situation for "standard" RCC.
There is however a number of prognostic factors that can alter the above even when NED. Agressive subtype, necrosis, sarcomatoid, high grades, stage etc. The info you give is not so specific, if you can post your stage grade and RCC type you will get a better answer from someone in here :-)
Jun 02, 2013 - 1:36 pm
I can only speak from my experience. I had a CT for the first 5 years and than Ultrasound for the next 6.
Jun 02, 2013 - 6:51 pm
i have been told i will have a ct after 6 months and then ultrasound every year thereafter.
eims x
Jun 02, 2013 - 8:46 pm
I was having scans every 6 weeks for at least 12-15 months. Finally every 12 weeks now. I feel better about that. You do what you have to do. We're not talking about what 's for supper. We are talking about your life.
Jun 03, 2013 - 1:18 am
Fox: to add to your comment... are your CTs with contrast every time? And do you find them painful? I had a horrible time with the renal protocol that I'm hoping to never have another. And good news you get a longer reprieve between them!
Jun 03, 2013 - 7:47 am
Yep. All scans are with contrast. Fisrt a liter of oral drink, then IV while in scanner. No discomfort at all except the technologist aren't nearly as good as my infusion nurses when stabbing me with the needle. There is a rush of heat going through me when it is administered. My scrotum heats up like I am sitting naked on an aluminum bleacher after it has been in mid day sun. For just a few seconds. I do get a reduced doseage of contrast because I have only one kidney. My remaining kidney function is excellent with my GFR over 60. I get a scan tomorrow and results next week. So let the scanxiety begin.
Jun 03, 2013 - 7:24 am
I am getting them every three months for at least 3 years, but my first set of scans at six months were not NED; rather a solitary met in the lung. At three years, if I am ned, i will have 6 month scans, then eventualy annual scans. At least that is the plan today.
Another Met, and the rules change.
Jun 03, 2013 - 3:29 pm
The plan for me is blood work and Cx every 6 months forever, and a CT alternating between annually and q18 months, forever. Unless it changes....
Jun 03, 2013 - 4:19 pm
Comparisons are of limited use because we're all so different.
I'm due to have full TAP CT scans, with contrast, every 12 weeks for the rest of my life.
With modern machines, radiation exposure isn't a serious consideration - the contrast dye is a much more serious matter than the radiation.

Is it constitutional for the Ten Commandments to be displayed in schools and other public buildings?
Kaitlin Sandhaus,
"I think it's probably inappropriate. I think the lessons the Ten Commandments are trying to teach can be given in different ways than directly quoting from the Bible."
Tim Frazier,
Greeley, Colo.
"I think it is. I think so because it was part of the literature when I grew up. I went to a parochial school so it doesn't bother me."
Helen Heberling,
"As I understand it there should be separation of church and state so I feel it's best not to put them in public buildings."
Andrea Lee,
Kansas City, Mo.
"I think it is if they're equally representing all religions."

We already knew that Jimmy Buffett and the Coral Reefer Band were making their annual stop in New England next month.
What we're learning now is Jimmy and crew have planned two shows in Massachusetts for their 2016 I Don't Know tour.
Live Nation has confirmed to WZLX that Jimmy Buffett will play a show at the House of Blues in Boston on Thursday, August 11th, in addition to his sold out show at the Xfinity Center in Mansfield on Saturday, August 20th.
"Jimmy Buffett's deep ties to Boston are unmistakable: from countless sold out concerts to helping make Boston Strong: An Evening of Support and Celebration an extraordinary success," said Live Nation's John Innamorato. "We are humbled, honored and above all excited to welcome Jimmy Buffett and the Coral Reefer Band back to Lansdowne Street!"
With the capacity of the House of Blues hovering around 2,200, this tour stop will be among the most intimate on Buffett's tour, compared to the nearly 20,000 seat capacity of the Xfinity Center in Mansfield.
Tickets for the House of Blues Show go on-sale Thursday, July 28th at 10am through Ticketmaster and are limited to four tickets per customer. Ticket purchasers will be required to present ID and the credit card used for purchase to gain entry. Tickets are non-transferable.

FOR: High performance, superb balance, all-wheel-drive traction and a brilliant bang-for-buck combination. Good seats from 1996.
AGAINST: Choppy ride on later models, generally tinny feel, weak headlights (especially high beam), uninspired styling, expensive to insure.
VERDICT: Unquestionably the best value performance car on the market. Theft a risk, insurance difficult for younger buyers.
RATING: four **** (out of 5)
Appealing in many respects, Subaru's Impreza economy car could never be regarded as stylish. But the WRX performance version turned this unpretentious vehicle into a potential world rally champion - and a cult car.
The WRX bore some external clues as to its sporting intent, such as bonnet air scoops, alloy wheels and the large, rally-inspired fog lights in the aggressively styled front bumper.
Under that bonnet, however, sat a turbocharged 2.0-litre "boxer" engine (with the cylinders horizontally opposed and the pistons moving in a horizontal plane, just like a Porsche).
With a power output of 155 kW - not far shy of a Holden or Falcon V8 in 1994 - and constant all-wheel-drive, it out-accelerated any car up to the Porsche 911 and had better grip on wet or loose surfaces than any car driven by two wheels, front or rear.
Subaru launched the WRX 10 months after the Impreza (pictured, a 1994 model). Like the Impreza, it came as a sedan or wagon, which Subaru liked to market as a hatch. There is a slight tinniness about the car - you can never forget that the formidable WRX started as a $20,000 economy model.
The current model is far superior value, thanks to continuing readjustment of specification levels as the yen has fallen from glory. A 1995 WRX cost $44,990 new but more recently the price has been pegged at $39,990.
Subaru routinely updated the WRX at the end of each year. In response to criticism that the original turbo was like a light switch at 3000 rpm (where it went from breathless to breathtaking) Subaru fitted a slightly smaller turbo on WRXs built since 1996.
The torque increased from 270 to 290 Nm, with extra pulling power at lower revs. This made the Subaru more usable in everyday commuter conditions, and more eager to respond to the throttle in the rev band where even the hottest performers spend most of their time - in traffic. There was a slight, corresponding decline in power nearing peak revs.
Early model seats featured drab material reminiscent of cheap aftermarket seat covers. But in 1996 the WRX acquired racing-style front buckets and the trim was of a much higher standard. In September 1997, a new dashboard was "borrowed" from the Forester. It wasn't sexy, but it was practical.
At the same time, Subaru fitted 16-inch alloy wheels (up from 15-inch) to sharpen the WRX's handling but the trade-off was a more choppy ride.
By this stage the WRX had been modified in response to its popularity as a getaway machine for ram-raiders. Publicity about this only helped its popularity, but if you owned one that was not equipped with elaborate theft protection, odds are you wouldn't have kept it long. Most vulnerable were those built before August '96. Insurance premiums are stiff for what police affectionately call "the stolen generation".
Get an insurance quote before you buy a cheap 1994 model. Many people have signed on the dotted line and then not been able to afford the premium.
From September '96, the car came with a sophisticated factory-fitted immobiliser but most owners have still spent more to ensure their WRX remains theirs. Few immobiliser-equipped cars have been stolen, and were only pinched if the keys were left in them, if the car was towed away or if the driver was car-jacked.
Hard-driven cars tend to be heavy on clutches and gearboxes. Either could require replacement before 60,000 km. Few buyers choose a WRX for pottering to the shops and back, so these should be checked carefully. Interestingly, the '99 edition features a new, stronger gearbox.
Automatic transmission was introduced in September 1997 and, although the two-pedal version doesn't accelerate quite as hard as its manual counterpart (it is also speed-limited to 180 km/h), this arrangement works well in everyday driving. There is no feeling of the turbo lag that afflicts the manual.
Expect any car you're contemplating buying to have led a hard life to date. It's probably wise to budget on a replacement clutch as a minimum.
What to look for
Engine and VIN numbers
Ensure they haven't been tampered with and then check with the Register of Encumbered Vehicles. The WRX is popular with car re-birthers.
The slight notch in second gear is normal but a shuddering clutch isn't.
Missing bootlid badges and paint overspray indicate previous crash repairs.
Non-standard engine management computers or exhausts can void warranty.

The Red Sox announced today that they optioned shortstop Jose Iglesias and first baseman Lars Anderson to Triple-A Pawtucket.
Much has been made of the news that Bobby Valentine and Ben Cherington disagreed on what to do with Iglesias to start the season. Valentine wanted Iglesias with the big league club. Cherington and the Red Sox front office wanted Iglesias to start in the minors.
Now we know which side got its way.
Iglesias hit .200 this spring with the Red Sox, with 5 hits in 25 at bats.
Mike Aviles will now be the team's starting shortstop on Opening Day. Aviles is hitting .333 with seven doubles and has made one error. Nick Punto will be Aviles' primary backup at short.
The club also reassigned right-handed pitchers Justin Germano and Doug Mathis and outfielder Josh Kroeger to minor league camp.
More to come . . .

I am an independent idealistic gal who loves to hike, kayaak, snowshoe and camp, but admittedly loves her cat, tarantula, and rabbit more. I try to laugh as much as possible, but also realize that there are times to be serious and take care of business as well. As for entertainment, my favorite movie is "American Psycho" (despite this admission, this is NOT an open invitation for anyone possessing a severely demented personality disorder to contact me, however) and my most beloved band is "The Cure". I have no tolerance for liars, so any fishermen out there need not apply, obviously. Since I teeter-totter between my introverted and extroverted personality traits, I have been told that being around me can be quite the exhilarating roller-coaster ride, so if you're interested in tagging along for an exhilarating experience, hit me up - you just never know what kind of adventure we may have.
