In 2016, the luxury market faced global instability, Brexit, and other variables that contributed to many designers seeing a contraction in their sales. While the market is starting to slowly recover in 2017, the gap is still widening between winners and losers...
The relationship you have with your watch (or watches) is unique. Both fashion statements and practical tools, today's most expensive and luxurious watches exude style and technology unmatched by any other designer accessory. Although a watch's retail price might alarm the novice, auctions of fine timepieces are excellent barometers of which brands increase in value over time...
I always enjoy debating the merits of the handbag with our contemporary art specialists. For me, it's natural to compare the luxury handbags we auction to works of art. From a tri-color special-order Hermès Kelly and matte crocodile Hermès Himalayan Birkin to a vintage crystal Judith Leiber minaudiere...

The statistic is a difficult one to determine because it is illegal in most places. Therefore unwanted babies are often hidden and left to die.

The Arsonist Trailer (1995)
The Arsonist involves the struggles of an undocumented immigrant family and a boy's coming-of-age. The son Kesuma must forge his own identity against the intimidating presence of his father Kakang, a man proud of his Javanese heritage and well aware of the social inequalities that allow his exploitation. Kakang counteracts by torching the property of those who slight him, leaving Kesuma simultaneously proud, fearful and ashamed. A clash of wills is all but inevitable. The film climaxes in a poignant conflagration, literal and metaphorical.

Winter Arrives at Blue Yonder Organic Farm
Nature looks dead in winter because her life is gathered into her heart. She withers the plant down to the root that she may grow it up again fairer and stronger. She calls her family together within her inmost home to prepare them for being scattered abroad upon the face of the earth. ~Hugh Macmillan, "Rejuvenescence," The Ministry of Nature, 1871
It is hard to believe that winter is here, but the snow does not lie. Here at Blue Yonder Organic Farm we are busy getting our turkeys ready for our Thanksgiving customers, moving our ewe sheep to the barn for lambing, and consolidating our laying hens to the barns where we have heated water and protection from the snow and wind. It is incredible to see how the farm changes, as it readies itself for what promises to be a long, cold winter. Much like the farm, I am beginning to slow down and prepare for a time of rest, reflection, and restoration. I am excited to look back on all of the progress we have made on the farm this year, anxious to figure out the things that didn't work, and begin to plan for next year with the promise of a fresh start in the spring. Over the next few weeks, I will be writing about our farm plans for the next year. We have a lot of incredible changes planned, and opportunities to reach even more military Veterans through our week-long training program and farm incubator program. Please continue to follow the farm this winter as we prepare for another incredible year of transformation!

I Need The Help Of A Real Clairvoyant A Real Seer If That's True…?Find TRUE Love - Get a FREE Psychic Reading
I think I'm gonna breakdown…its been happening a lot…
Im in a corner…and I can't get out….I think Im going crack-up inside…I don't know where to seek advice…this isn't a psychological issue….I need the help of a real clairvoyant a real seer if that's true….I can't break down anymore…this is going to get me. Ive been wronged by powerful people..and they won…and I have been left with the pieces…its been too long. I don't know what to do?
A clairvoyant can help, sometimes if genuine they can, as they can make things clear to you, they can make you realize reasons why your feeling a certain way . I don't know where your from but i see a clairvoyant who is very active in my area , she works with the police etc.
I was very unsure at first of clairvoyants as i had been conned too many times by fake ones…this lady was unbelievbly spooky and told me things no one could know..and after it i was left feeling so refreshed and relaxed.
By the way I'm from Australia so probably no good to you, but keep trying not everyone needs a psychologist sometI'mes simple things can reprieve us.. However im not discrediting psychologist's in anyway .
Good luck and keep your chin up.

Sweetie, a clairvoyant cannot help you. You really do need to seek some professional help from a person who can help you get through things. Just asking someone to look into your future won't help you deal with what you are going through right now. You may only be left with pieces, but those pieces can be put together again, and you can start by picking up just one. Put it in the center and then place the other pieces where you want them to go. Life is not a puzzle where the pieces only fit one way. You can fit the pieces anywhere you want them to go. Now, pick another piece and put it where you think it needs to go. Do talk to a doctor. They will help you decide where to put all of the pieces.

You are wrong as it IS a psychological issue. If you have been wronged, then either learn from it or get over it. There is no magical cure.

Ok, everyone has been wronged by powerful people,
whether they realize it or not. So you are ahead of the game,
you realize it! The beauty of life is that even if you have been
"had" or they won once, doesn't mean they will win again!
So, go see a councilor, therapist, or physiologist, and rebuild your self confidence! Remember to respect the rights of others, and learn to stand up for your own!

A clairvoyant may cause more problems than they will help. Why? There are only two sources of supernatural information..those who operate on the dark side, listen to demons who may actually have some information but will not proceed to release it out of love. The second source is God. The Holy Spirit will give us guidance and lead us, always in a manner of love. There are many scriptures such as Jeremiah 33:3 that tell us this. God may also speak to our future through prophecies that utilitze gifts of the spirit. Since it seems you are tormented, I suggest you choose the latter. 'Draw nigh to God and he will draw night to you." Don't accept the counterfeit, if you seek supernatural advice from anyone other than those who profess to be Christian and operate according to scripture you will only hurt yourself. Ask Jesus to help you see what you need and send others that are true believers that can help you. Of course, many Christians do not operate in the prophetic. It is a shame, because God has imparted these gifts and will allow us to use them in love to help others according to his will. Anyway, I do pray you are devlivered from your dilemma and find the peace you desire.

Hello, everybody!
I'm clairvoyant. If you have any questions or problems just tell me about it. And I do all the best to solve your deal. Just drop me you question. And I answer you immediately!

Save the souls aims to stop the inhumane testing of dogs in laboratories.Today, strong scientific evidence has proved that dogs have added no value to toxicity testing of drugs. On an ethical front, neuro scientists have proved with fMRI data that dogs are as sentient as a human child. We believe so too. The campaign will include a digital petition to garner a minimum of 100,000 signatures and present the same with our petition to the DRUG CONTROLLER GENERAL OF INDIA, with a hope to amend the archaic Indian laws that necessitate the use of dogs in toxicity testing.
We are also concerned about our dogs on our streets. The campaign will also include a vaccination drive for street dogs and implementation of safety neck collars on them so as to protect them from road accidents. Considering statistics, the death of stray animals due to road accidents tips higher than their deaths due to illness or other reasons. We, therefore, pledge to help prevent road accidents of these silent souls, to the extent possible.
Awareness and knowledge are the key players in change and nothing is as constant as change!. Social evils have been eradicated when enlightened societies cried out in one voice to abolish social evils, that included sati, child marriage and female foeticide. But nothing has changed for the animals-the voiceless and the defenceless. Over 200,000 dogs die each year in laboratories across the world in bitter anguish.
Indian laws that necessitate the use of dogs in testing are archaic and must be revised /revoked in keeping with the recent and scientific evidence that has proved that the dog test is both unscientific and unethical. Hence we are launching an online signature campaign which will involve the signing of a petition to stop the use of dogs in testing. The laboratory you will agree is no place for "MAN'S BEST FRIEND"
Our target is to get 100,000 petitions signed only by Indian public and present the same with our petition to the concerned authorities in the Indian Government. Online events also include publicity via twitter handles

- ANJU MAHENDRU - Celebrity and Actress
"I abhor the use of dogs in testing . Yes , a dog is no less than a child . I am glad scientists have reckoned with this truth finally. The use of these adorable beagles or any dog in a lab is inhumane . We don't need this futile exercise to prove how or when pesticides are safe for man . No other species can represent the other . Please India - lets cry out in one voice - let our battle cry be " Stop the abuse and use of dogs in testing. Let every cage be opened . and let every beagle be set free. I call upon every Indian citizen to join the 'Sound of Silence' Campaign and sign the petition .

The Khaman dhokla is a vegetarian dish originally from the Indian state of Gujarat. It is prepared from a fermented paste of broken chickpeas. The dhokla is usually served at breakfast or snack in the western part of India, and today it is found in all Indian states. The dhokla can be eaten for breakfast or as a main dish, side dish or snack. The dhokla is very close to Khaman and the two terms are used interchangeably.
The dukkia, a precursor to legume based dhokla, is mentioned in a Jain book dating from 1066. The oldest existing text mentioning the word dhokla is Varanaka Samuchaya written in Gujarati in the year 1520.
There are different types of dhokla prepared with different ingredients and different proportions of chickpeas. Among the most popular are Khatta dhokla, Rasia dhokla, Khandhavi dhokla, cheese Dhokla, Toor dal dhokla. Dhokla sandwich, Rawa dhokla and peas Dhokla.
The Khaman is a similar chickpea flour based dhokla. While the dhokla is prepared with rice and chickpea, Khaman Dhokla is prepared with chickpea only. Its color is generally lighter and is more mellow than the dhokla . Only a small amount of sodium bicarbonate is added to dhokla while Khaman contains much more to make it soft and porous.
The Idada is another variety of dhokla which is made using other legumes such as black gram.
Preparation Time: 20 mins
Cooking time: 20 mins
Servings: 3 servings
Calories per serving: 125 calories per 100 gms
- 2 cups bengal gram flour
- 1 cup yoghurt
- 1 tsp ginger paste
- 1 tsp green chilli paste
- 2 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp turmeric powder
- 1 tsp lime juice
- 2 tsp baking soda
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tsp black mustard seeds
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp sesame seeds
- 5 curry leaves
- 2 green chillies
- 1 cup coriander leaves
- Salt to taste
- Warm water
Recipe Method:
- Sieve the gram flour. Mix it with the yoghurt, ginger and green chilli pastes, turmeric powder, salt to taste, 1 tsp oil, lime juice and sugar and warm water to make a batter of pouring consistency. Mix well. Divide the batter into 3 equal portions. Keep aside to ferment for 10 hours.
- Prepare the steamer and grease a pan to steam the dhokla in. Divide the baking soda into 3 equal portions and add one portion to the batter and 2 tsp of water. When the bubbles form, mix well. Pour this batter into the greased dish and put it into the steamer. Sprinkle black pepper powder evenly over it. Steam in a steamer for 10 minutes or till the dhoklas are cooked.
- Repeat with the remaining batter, adding the baking soda to each batch of batter just before steaming. Allow the steamed Dhokla to cool slightly and cut into diamond shaped equal pieces. To temper, heat the oil in a wide pan and add the curry leaves, mustard and sesame seeds and green chillies. Fry till the seeds stop spluttering. Pour these into the warm water. Sprinkle this mixture all over the prepared Dhokla. Keep aside for 10 minutes.
- Garnish with the chopped coriander and serve with Tamarind Chutney and Mint Coriander Chutney.

JUPITER, Fla. (AP) — Jose Reyes was hitless in three at-bats in his spring debut for the Miami Marlins, who lost 3-1 to the Detroit Tigers on Tuesday.
Reyes was part of an offseason overhaul for Miami. The speedy shortstop agreed to a $106 million, six-year contract with the Marlins over the winter, leaving the New York Mets in free agency.
Tigers starter Rick Porcello allowed an unearned run and a hit over two innings in his first spring game. The right-hander went 14-9 a year ago.
Austin Jackson had a pair of hits for the Tigers.
Marlins slugger Giancarlo Stanton went 1 for 3.

Thames Water fined for over-abstraction
Thames Water has been fined £5,000 with costs of £700 for breaching abstraction licence conditions, contrary to section 24 of the Water Resources Act 1991. Hertford magistrates heard that the firm exceeded by up to 24% its daily abstraction limit from an aquifer beneath its pumping station at Ware, Hertfordshire. Inspection of the company's records showed that over-abstraction occurred over two weeks in September 1998.

Removing screen to access mail
A home owner from New jersey says:
January 19, 2015
During the transition of mail personnel, our temporary mail person would place mail in the area between the screen and the decorative frame. Some days when returning from work there had been no mail or at least I thought. Some weeks later I received a letter stating that I had not cashed a check which had been mailed to me. I never remember recieving that check. I normally just leave the screen in place, but this year due to the cold weather I decided to put the window up. When placing the screen structure down to position, it seemed to jam. Not a had jam but almost as if it was hitting something soft...like mail? I Now have to get to whatever it is that is keeping the screen from going down completely. I am having a problem removing the screen structure which would give me space to insert a grabber. Please help. Thanks
Dave Sr. from SWISCO responded:
January 21, 2015
Sorry to hear you're having trouble. You might have some variety of pull pin on the screen (like our 70-009) that keep it in the track of the door. If you were to pull those pins, you should be able to take the screen out of the door.

OLYMPIA — August 4, 2017 — The Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) today released data analytics on student discipline in Washington state school districts.
The data show the 2015-16 school year saw decreases from the previous school year in the number of suspensions and expulsions statewide.
In the 2014-15 school year, the overall rate of suspensions and expulsions was 3.9 percent. In the 2015-16 school year, the rate dropped to 3.7 percent, which represents 1,804 fewer students being excluded from school. The largest decreases were in long-term suspensions and expulsions.
"Our discipline rates are decreasing, which we should celebrate," said Chris Reykdal, Superintendent of Public Instruction. "But that does not mean we should turn a blind eye to the gaps that persist – in fact, we should do quite the opposite."
"In many school districts, students of color and students with disabilities appear to be suspended and expelled at a higher rate than their peers," Superintendent Reykdal continued. "These trends are troubling and they warrant serious attention: We must analyze why disparities exist and determine what approaches may be most effective in addressing them."
The analytics show:
OSPI's data analytics tool allows districts and the public to filter district demographics to view "like" districts, break out data by type of exclusion, and view student discipline rates at a rate proportionate to their representation in the total student population.
Today's release is part of OSPI's "Performance Indicators – Data and Analytics" work designed to help the state and school districts make data-informed decisions. As new data analytics are released, they are posted on the OSPI Data and Analytics webpage.
School districts must evaluate their discipline policies, procedures, and practices to ensure they are fair and applied equally to all students. All school districts and public charter schools are required to at least annually review data on student discipline within each school, separated by student groups.
In reviewing this data, if a school district or public charter school finds that its discipline was disproportionate by student groups, they must take prompt action to ensure the disproportion is not the result of discrimination.
With substantial stakeholder involvement, OSPI is in the process of carefully revising the student discipline rules, and the new rules are anticipated to be effective in the 2018-19 school year.
OSPI is also currently developing training modules to support implementation of discipline policies and procedures. These are anticipated to be released in the 2017-18 school year.
OSPI is available to help schools and communities use data to recognize disparities, understand underlying equity and civil rights issues, and identify evidence-based practices that improve equity in student discipline.
About OSPI

Led by State School Superintendent Chris Reykdal, OSPI works with the state's 295 school districts and nine educational service districts to administer basic education programs and improve student achievement on behalf of more than one million public school students.
OSPI provides equal access to all programs and services without discrimination based on sex, race, creed, religion, color, national origin, age, honorably discharged veteran or military status, sexual orientation, gender expression or identity, the presence of any sensory, mental, or physical disability, or the use of a trained dog guide or service animal by a person with a disability.

Cumbria / The Lake District
What it's like
Before the 18th century the Lake District was shunned as being barbaric and dangerous and a largely unknown corner of England. All that changed when poets such as William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge explored deep into the valleys, hills and mountains, wrote about their experiences and gave birth to Lakeland tourism in the late 18th century.
The collective works of the Lakes Poets tempted well educated walkers with money and time to spare. Many of these were young OxBridge men who soon began to explore the steeper cliffs and higher mountains at a time when the sport of rock climbing was emerging as a separate activity apart from merely trying to get to the top of a mountain. This second injection of romantic adventures, guidebooks and mountain photography has driven the exploration of the area into the 19th century.
The 20th century has seen hill-walking develop as an activity of its own worth, without reference to poet or rock climber. The guidebook writer Alfred Wainwright created the first walker's guides to the mountains in the 1950s and 60s and these allowed people to explore the valleys, hills and mountains far more easily.
The Lake District in the 21st century is a rich tapestry of scenery and activity, where people can challenge themselves to a lesser or greater degree by foot, bike, horse, boat. Dissected by narrow lanes and dotted by pubs, so while a walker can lose themselves in the scenery, they can easily escape back to safety.
Recommended routes
- Scafell Pike England's highest mountain as a natural 'must do' and the ascent from Borrowdale, England's most beautiful valley is a popular classic
- Back o' skidda The forgotten fells, that lie north of Skiddaw and Blencathra are in direct contrast to the craggy bulk of Lakeland and offer solitude even on a Bank Holiday weekend!
- St Bees It is easy to assume that only the heart of the Lake District is worth exploring. But just outside the National Park boundary are some great walks, including the red sandstone cliffs of St Bees, the start of the Coast to Coast walk and also home to one of the largest sea bird colonies in the UK.
Must see and do
- See Britain's favourite view - Wastwater On 9th September 2007 Wast Water was voted the best view in the UK in the ITV programme 'Britain's Favourite View', beating 15 other nominated locations – poets knew this in the 19th century! You can also drink Trail Ale in the Wasdale Head Inn, while you are there.
- Explore the Honister Slate mines by Via Ferrata Between the 16th and 19th century Lakeland was an industrial workhorse and slate was dug from the ground, used to build homes and exported. Today mine activity has reduced to a trickle, but you can still explore the mines and discover a little of what it was like for Victorian miners by following a unique via ferrata route through the mountains from Honister Pass.
- Take a steamer Steamers plough the waters of Windermere, Coniston Water and Derwentwater and Ullswater and all can be combined with a walk on the neighbouring fells for a perfect blend of leisure and exercise! One of the best is the Ullswater Steamer than links Glenridding with Howtown from where a shorline or mountain walk can be taken back to the start. www.ullswater-steamers.co.uk/

Last week, Maddie and I made our way back up to London for the much-anticipated Sherlock Holmes Walking Tour. We arrived at Picadilly Circus, where we were met by our friendly tour guide, Craig. It's safe to say Craig is a real Sherlock boffin, and he greeted us with huge enthusiasm!
Our meeting point was the Savini at Criterion, just outside Picadilly Circus Station, where Holmes and Watson first met. Whilst we waited for the rest of the group to arrive, Craig told us about the surrounding buildings and the way period films and TV shows have been filmed in these iconic locations. We split into two groups and, when everyone was ready, set off on our tour.
Now, we won't give too much away, but stops included a highly prestigious Gentlemen's Club, The London Library, Waterloo Bridge, Somerset House and Trafalgar Square. Each location had connections to the books, films or Sherlock TV show, and it was very exciting to stand in the exact spot where Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman stood during filming.
Our favourite fact we learnt (one of many) is that the BBC seldom closes roads for filming – choosing instead to film among the general public. We were even shown a few stills from the TV series in which we saw people in the background looking directly at the camera!
We finished at the famous Sherlock Holmes pub, in which we learnt that they have a private Sherlock exhibition upstairs (unfortunately it was shut when we got there). The exhibition houses real extracts of Conan Doyle's scripts and props from his acting days playing Sherlock on stage.
All, in, all, we had a wonderful few hours exploring London – who knew there were so many fun Movie facts! Thank you to Brit Movie Tours for having us and Craig for being our great, enthusiastic tour guide!

Our recipes are created by award-winning chefs and nutritionists.
Posted 13th June 2011 by Caroline Gosney
Apparently it's 50 years since sliced bread hit supermarket shelves across the UK and our lives changed forever. Sliced bread has become part of our staple diet and nothing could be easier than nipping to the shops to pick up a loaf.
That said, you don't have to eat the sliced stuff. With bread makers becoming part of the kitchen furniture all over the UK it's becoming simpler to whip up a loaf in your own kitchen. Irish Wheaten Bread is a rough, malty bread that's perfect in the morning with jam or great for dunking in your soup. Or, if you can't have gluten Gluten-free Walnut Bread is so good you won't be able to tell the difference.
If you are partial to a slice or two of your supermarket's finest there's a lot more you can do with it than just pop it in the toaster. Vanilla French Toast with Rhubarb elevates the humble slice to something decadent and is a seriously delicious breakfast dish. Enjoy as a lazy brunch with the paper and a good cup of coffee.
If you get to mid-week and there's no time to shop, let alone have a few precious minutes to yourself, save a few slices and use them up in a one dish Savoury Bread and Butter Pudding and you might be able to sneak in a cup of tea and a sit down.
At the weekend the pace of life slows down and precious sleep is caught up on. If you've got guests for dinner finish off with a Stonefruit Summer Pudding: one of the most quintessentially British puds. It's a fab way to use up any stale bread you have in the breadbin and looks spectacular.
If those recipes aren't the best thing since sliced bread (ahem) we don't know what is!

Edgar Bronfman Jr. and Jean-Marie Messier have been ordered to stand trial in France on charges of stock manipulation. A ruling by Judge Jean-Marie d'Huy in Paris today (Thursday) came as a surprise after prosecutors had called for the case against the two to be dismissed. As head of Vivendi, Messier engineered the buyout of Seagram, the Canadian spirits company founded by the Bronfman family that then owned Universal Studios and Universal Records -- an expansion that saddled the French company with such heavy debt that it nearly collapsed under its weight.
Take a look back at October's inaugural event.
The film is expected to continue without Mendes' involvement.

Deadlines Loom For Returning Lawmakers
Associated Press - April 29, 2017 4:19 pm
Kansas lawmakers return to Topeka facing pressing deadlines to find a budget fix and write a new law for funding public schools.
The Republican-controlled Legislature ends its annual spring break Monday with the year's biggest issues far from resolved.
Kansas faces projected budget shortfalls totaling $889 million through June 2019, and legislators expect to increase taxes.
They've focused on rolling back past income tax cuts championed by Republican Gov. Sam Brownback. He vetoed an income-tax bill in February and lawmakers have struggled to find consensus since then.
Meanwhile, the state Supreme Court has ruled that education funding is inadequate.
GOP leaders hope lawmakers can finish their work by mid-May but it could drag into June, as it did in 2015.
What a complete mess the rethuglicans have created. They continue to destroy not only Kansas but America. Party before country and state, how disgusting everyone of them are.
Ms. Grace – Do you live in Salina ? Curious is all.

When you're on the receiving end of an opinion, here are the three biggest listening traps you face:
1. Someone starts to give an opinion that overlaps with one you already agree with, so you tune out and miss the gist.
2. Authoritative or charismatic speakers might sound so confident that you accept their input blindly—without assessing its worth.
3. A bashful person expresses an opinion in such a quiet way that you feel it can't carry much weight.
To evaluate opinions fairly, assess the facts. If you don't understand the issues involved, find out. As a first step, invite the speaker to move from the general to the specific. Ask for examples. Value input more highly when speakers give you solid supporting evidence.

GOP Establishment Fears Ron Paul Upset at the Convention
Corrupt Republicrats & Democans all doing what they do best…
It's a REPUBLIC… A corrupt Republic…
Please check out: "The Act of 1871, the American Scam Revealed" from WebFlixGuy,
"USA vs US", "Season of Treason" pts 1 – 3, "De Facto Gov't, Act of 1871" w Bill Foust, and "Republic of Missouri, The Change Our Founders Believed In", pts 1 & 2.
As an adjunct, see: "1932, A True History of the United States", "The Secret of Oz", "The Money Masters", "Freedom to Fascism", "The Obama Deception" (another puppet) and "The President Who Told The Truth", Nufffrespect;
"Timeline of the Rothschilds"
Disgusting … People that do this shit are no more than terrorists.
So how do they like, do this and get away with it? Do more people need to grow to understand what's happen thus enabling the odds of people being that kind of person to actually do something about? We had Ron Paul. Literally perfection in a candidate. So how much longer until people realize?
Here Lies the Republican party – born: July 6, 1854. died: August 27, 2012. Rest in Piss.
Ron Paul gave the RNC a choice. Let the peoples voice be heard or do something dirty to prove your bought and paid for. The RNC put their neck in the noose. Gary Johnson is on your state ballot! So are many other liberty party candidates. STOP voting for the two partys and give your kids a chance!! Its high time to put a third party in the drivers seat. Ron straight up says he cannot support Romney. If he cannot support Romney who do you think he supports?! Listen to Ron he's hinting about it.
I sincerely hope that Ron Paul is supporting Ron Paul. Why should he support anyone else when he is the logical and best choice? We the people want Ron Paul for our president. Why settle for second best? Write in Ron Paul in November! No compromise, no surrender!
It would be good to see Ron Paul develop a strategic alliance with Dr Jill Stein…
Everybody needs to abandon the GOP and create a new political party or join another political party. Come on Paulites, we can do this.
shut up then
From someone who had voted Republican my whole life, this is the sad but true reality.
'My' party has been hijacked, utterly dominated, and thoroughly controlled.
The other party is no better, mind you.
There is NO choice, yet again, in 2012. There is only 2 slightly different versions of what the powers than be, want.
In general, voting 3rd party is the smartest thing a voter can do. You were told that it's a waste to vote for a 3rd party candidate to get you to continue to vote for the major parties no matter what corrupt shit they pull.
who said anything about Obama you fruitcake
" THE AMERICAN PEOPLE HAS TWO KINDS OF ENEMIES , THE FIRST ARE THE CRIMINALS AND THE SECOND IS THE GOVERNMENT , LET US CHAIN DOWN THE SECOND WITH THE CONSTITUTION SO THAT THEY DO NOT BECOME A LEGAL VERSION OF THE FIRST " ….John Adams ….1776
and you think obama has Americas best at heart !!???? we need to vote ron paul !! America = freedom not socialism …..if you like obama then just move to china or Russia ……stop killing this country with things like the "NDAA" ….THANKS TO OBAMA WE ARE ALL TERRORIST…..WE CAN ALL BE HELD AND OR PUT TO DEATH WITHOUT A COURT OF LAW TO PROVE YOU ARE NOT A TERRORIST ….JUST BECAUSE YOU LOVE THE CONSTITUTION OR YOUR A WAR VET DOES NOT MAKE YOU A TERRORIST !!
No normal rational person can be a Republican supporter any more you have to be pretty fucking dumb and uneducated to support these paranoid nutjobs
I was always told votin third party was a wasted vote. Now voting againts the appointed party favorite also seems to be a wasted vote. Why do we have public elections if the GOPs Chosen One is the only one that gets consideration?
Wow… this is just shocking and unfair, if someone ligitimately plays by the rules gains 5 states and then they switch up the rules HOW IS THAT EVEN FAIR? RNC also tried to make sure ron paul supporters weren't allowed to speak: /watch?v=OIwSJuBeZAk
this is just ridiculous now I will be writing Ron Paul ESPECIALLY now that they've done this. ALL RON PAUL SUPPORTERS I ENCOURAGE YOU to DO THE SAME. THIS IS BLANTANT CORRUPTION OR WE THE PEOPLE WILL not PUT UP WITH IT. GO RON PAUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
parties are stupid they shld be dismantled ann demoted like ventura said.

Battle over? Few even know when it began
Establishing the time frame of the latest round of hostilities around the Gaza Strip appears simple. They began a week ago, on Thursday afternoon, when an advanced anti-tank missile slammed into a school bus at the Sa'ad Junction, 3km from the Gaza border. If the bus had not just disgorged its load of children three minutes earlier, casualties would have been much higher than the wounded driver and sole passenger, who is still in a critical condition. And as a senior IDF officer said: "We would have been now in a totally different place, with forces in Gaza on the ground." As it is, the direct targeting of civilians was serious enough: "A red line has been crossed, that is the message Hamas has to understand now."
To reinforce that message, the IDF unleashed the widest and deadliest wave of airstrikes since the end of Operation Cast Lead 25 months ago, targeting missile launch teams, arms depots, command posts and a number of mid-level commanders of Hamas's military wing. Twenty Palestinians were killed, including at least two civilians.
Meanwhile, in the space of three days, Hamas and other Palestinian organisations launched over 130 mortar bombs and rockets at Israeli towns and villages around the Strip.
The damage was negligible, but would have been considerably worse if it were not for the Iron Dome missile defence system that, in its first operational deployment, intercepted and destroyed eight Grad missiles launched at Ashkelon and Beer Sheva.
And then, by Sunday evening, it was all over. Through various channels, the political leadership of Hamas assured Israel that it had reined in its military wing. Calm has returned, hopefully at least for the duration of the Pesach holiday.
The Iron Dome has given Israel a little breathing space
But the idea that this latest skirmish began on Thursday is potentially misleading. The escalation could just as well be said to have begun five and a half days earlier when, in a joint air force-Shin Bet operation, Israel killed from the air three Hamas operatives who were apparently planning to kidnap Israeli tourists in Sinai over Pesach. The missile fired at the bus was a revenge for that attack. And the lull that began on Monday could prove extremely short, so temporary as not to count as a real break in hostilities. Next time around, both sides will almost certainly ratchet up their actions, as they did this round.
Nothing has changed on the ground. Hamas still finds itself with a restive military wing, eager to prove that it has not given up on the armed struggle and a political leadership worried that a premature outbreak of hostilities could shake its hold on the nascent Gaza statelet.
The Netanyahu government is also at an impasse. Diplomatically it is in a state of near-siege, making it very difficult to embark on a major military excursion, while public feeling at home allows it very little leeway for restraint if Hamas provokes it once again.
The success of the Iron Dome, which achieved the first operational interception of a missile anywhere in the world, has given Israel's leadership a little breathing space at home. However, the system can still achieve only limited coverage with just two batteries. New batteries will only be ready in 2013, and Hamas have proved capable of exploiting Israel's weaker spots.
For now, both sides will be content with a quiet Pesach. Neither Jews nor Muslims have much hope for more than that.

With the recent opening of Klyde Warren Park, ridership on the McKinney Avenue trolley system has been everything a streetcar fan could desire.
Compared with a total of about 350,000 riders in all of 2011, "we're at 400,000 already this year, and we still have December to go," said John Landrum, chief operation officer of the McKinney Avenue Transit Authority.
Landrum said several factors account for the increase, but the most dramatic has been the opening in late October of the deck park over Woodall Rodgers Freeway.
Earlier in the year, the system drew about 800 riders a day on a typical weekend. More than 4,000 riders took a trolley on Saturday, Oct. 27, the day the park opened. There were about 6,000 the next day, Landrum said.
"We put everything we had on the tracks that weekend, and we were still packed to the gills," he said.
Since then, the figures have settled down but are still about twice the pre-park average.
The holidays typically bring an increase in ridership, so Landrum said he expects a final figure of about 450,000 for 2012.
The increase has occurred even before completion of an extension that will loop through downtown. MATA officials said earlier this year that completion of the loop could cause ridership to more than double.
The first part of that extension is expected to be completed sometime this summer, when authorities will open a route down Olive Street from McKinney Avenue to Bryan Street, near the Pearl Street DART station. The extension will include a stop within Klyde Warren Park. The current route to St. Paul Street will continue to operate, though at a reduced schedule.
The decision to open the Olive Street extension as soon as construction and testing are completed represents a change of plans.
Originally, operation of the Olive Street extension was to be delayed until a second project — a loop linking Olive Street to the current terminus on St. Paul — was completed.
Keith Manoy, assistant director of transportation planning for the city of Dallas, said work on developing a federally mandated safety plan has pushed back completion of the loop. He believes cars will start running on the loop sometime in 2014, but no date has been set.
"Once the plan has been ironed out, there may be ways to speed up the process, but I don't have a good sense of that right now," he said.
But even the current increase has caused MATA authorities to make adjustments. They have added a car at peak times on weekends. On Matilda, the largest of the four cars in the existing fleet, they have added a conductor during those times to assist passengers.
In contrast to the surge on weekends, weekday ridership has stayed about the same, at about 1,000 per day, in recent months, Landrum said. Weekend riders tend to take the trolley for leisure trips, while weekday riders are more likely to be commuters.
He defines "commuter," not just as someone taking the trolley to work, but using the streetcars for basic transportation needs such as shopping.
As the population of Uptown continues to grow, Landrum said, he believes that weekday ridership will increase. Completion of the loop is also expected to increase commuter ridership, providing better access to office buildings downtown.
Even before the Olive Street extension comes online, MATA officials early next year will begin running a refurbished 1929 streetcar that will seat 56 passengers, and will be smoother and better equipped than the four existing cars. All will continue in service.
Delay in opening the loop also means that MATA's plans to introduce a fleet of more modern streamlined cars will be delayed. The fleet of cars, built in the 1950s and 1970s, was intended especially to attract commuters.
Unlike the current fleet of older cars, however, the newer cars will be able to run in only one direction, meaning that they require use of the recently completely turntable on the northern end of the system and the planned loop on the southern end.

industries. Manufacturers of GRP pipes India are supplying their entire range of products to
different customers belonging to different industry. These manufacturing companies perform
various testing methods to determine the quality and reliability of the GRP products. Such
testing methods help the manufacturers in delivering the premium range of products that do
not have defects and can perform for longer life. Let's read about these testing methods in
Pipe testing at factory
Once the engineers of manufacturing unit select pipe specimens randomly from the lot as per
the standard, they should test the product at factory for further tests.
Critical dimensions
Experts will measure the pipes for compliance with critical dimensions as per the standard once
they allow them for the specified tolerances. The dimensions should include wall thickness,
diameter, length and width. Pipes that do not match the standards will be rejected.
The pipe should be free from all defects like bubbles, pinholes, pits, cracks, foreign inclusions
etc., the pipe should attain uniformity in terms of color, density, capacity, and other physical
Stiffness checks
Samples of pipe rings should be taken from each diameter manufactured and tested as per the
standard. In case the results of the test are not up to the mark or if a pipe sample fails to meet
the stiffness requirement, manufacturers should test two samples from the same lot. If they
both pass, the lot will be used for production.
Hydrostatic soundness test
It is the responsibility of the FRP products and pipe manufacturers to test pipes by hydrostatic
proof test in accordance with the standards. They should follow proper guidelines to perform
this testing method for hydrostatic soundness checks.
Beam strength test
Manufacturers should not forget to test the pipe for longitudinal tensile strength as per the
relevant standards. If the sample fails to meet the codes, they should take five more samples
for testing. If the results meet the requirements, all pipes will be then accepted. If the five
samples fail, all pipes from the lot will be rejected.
Manufacturers of GRP pipes India are performing these tests for best output. If you want to avail
premium GRP pipes that possess durability and longevity, contact such manufacturers only.
Share this post with your contacts and tell them about the manufacturers who are testing their
products prior releasing them to the market.

Well, that's all from a rainy St Mary's this afternoon. Thank you for joining us for our LIVE play-by-play coverage of this Premier League clash. We'll see you soon!
It was hardly a classic, and Saints will be disappointed to drop points at home in a game that was there for the taking, but West Ham - mainly thanks to their goalkeeper - have managed to keep their third clean sheet of the season.
That result sees West Ham sneak into the top half of the table with five points from their first four games, while Southampton are right behind them in 11th place with the same tally.
That's FULL-TIME at St Mary's and it's finished 0-0 after an inspired goalkeeping performance from Jussi Jaaskelainen kept the visitors in it, and in the end won them a point.
90' + 4'Ward-Prowse collects it in the box under huge pressure from Razvan Rat, but manages to work it out to Calum Chambers, whose cross deflects out to Wanyama, and the midfielder tries a shot from 25 yards with his left which he slices wide.
90' + 3'Rodriguez heads the corner away from his own six-yard box. It's fired back in and Collins goes up for it but the ball eventually finds its way into the hands of Boruc.
90' + 2'Another Collins free kick from halfway is floated forward and Lovren is forced to concede a corner. Nolan swings it in and Ricardo Vaz Te can't reach the second ball at the far post, but the Hammers have another corner.
90'The hosts win a second corner but Jaaskelainen punches it away. Clyne launches it into the box and Lovren wins the header, which bounces up and hits Nolan, sparking claims of handball which the referee waves away as we go into four minutes of injury time.
89'The visitors fail to clear their lines and Osvaldo squares it to Schneiderlin, who flicks it over the defence for Lambert, who can't quite get a shot away but wins a corner.
88'Southampton try to fashion a chance as Wanyama slots it through for Lambert, who drops deep to lift a cross over for Osvaldo, but it's an easy one for Jaaskelainen to come and claim.
87'Wanyama looks to set Clyne - now playing at left-back - free on the left but it goes out for a throw, while Reid rejoins the action for the Hammers.
86'There's a break in play as Reid limps off after landing awkwardly from a challenge in the air. It looks like Nolan has moved into defence for the time being.
84'What a miss! Jarvis does really well to get the ball under control on the right-hand side of the area before pulling it back towards James Collins, who has plenty of space to pick his spot but blasts it high into the stands. Best chance of the match for the visitors.
83'The visitors have a chance of their own as they win a corner but both Collins and Reid go for it and Southampton clear.
81'Unfortunately for them it's the same result as Ward-Prowse puts it in the same area but Lovren can't reach it to keep the ball in play.
80'Ten minutes left at St Mary's. According to Sky Sports there has only been one previous goalless draw between these two. Will we see a second? Southampton have another free kick in the same place...
79'James Ward-Prowse whips in the set piece with a well-placed ball and Fonte charges to meet it at the far post, but can't direct his effort towards the goal and it goes behind.
78'West Ham have a fre kick in the middle and, after a substitution for either side, Collins launches it into the box looking for Nolan, but the whistle goes for an infringement in the box and Southampton push forward before winning a free kick of their own, courtesy of a handball by Matthew Taylor.
77'SubstitutionRavel Morrison Matthew Taylor
77'SubstitutionLuke Shaw Calum Chambers
76'Fonte again reads the play well to cut out a pass an dplay forward to Osvaldo. Lambert receives it on the left before playing it back to his strike partner, who goes down in a heap after Reid does well to force him off the ball.
75'Diame pops up on the left wing for the visitors and has a chance to cross, but it's way too hard and goes out for a throw. Poor crossing has been the theme of the afternoon, sadly.
73'Shaw cuts in from the left as Southampton look to create another chance, but Osvaldo completely miscontrols the full-back's pass as it runs under his foot and out for a goal kick.
72'SubstitutionAdam Lallana James Ward-Prowse
72'Another save! Rodriguez runs thorugh the middle before rolling it into the path of Lambert on the left, and the striker opens up to curl a superb effort towards the far corner, forcing another stunning stop from Jaaskelainen.
70'Yellow Card Joey O'Brien
70'Ouch! O'Brien slides in hard on Lallana right on the sideline and there's a fair amount of pushing and shoving between most of the players. The referee calms things down before showing the Hammers defender a yellow card.
69'Jaaskelainen fires it forward and Lovren completely fluffs his lines, putting his header straight out for a throw and giving West Ham the chance to form an attack.
68'SubstitutionModibo Maiga Ricardo Vaz Te
67'Fantastic save! Jaaskelainen keeps things level as Rodriguez crosses from the right for Schneiderlin, who volleys with superb technique and it looks bound for the corner before the Hammers shot-stopper dives superbly to turn it around the post.
66'Yellow Card Victor Wanyama
66'Wanyama is booked for a clumsy challenge on halfway and Collins launches another high ball forward, which Nolan is very close to reaching but it goes back into Saints' possession.
65'Morrison is dispossessed in midfield and Lallana bursts down the left before floating it to the edge of the box. Schneiderlin just manages to reach it with an outstretched leg to divert it towards Osvaldo, but Reid blocks his effort and the visitors clear.
64'Yellow Card Mark Noble
64'Wanyama plays a free kick in midfield back to Fonte, who launches a high ball forward but Collins heads clear. Saints still in possession, though.
63'Razvan Rat is on, then, to make his Premier League debut. Southampton are well on top in this half, but can they find a goal?
61'SubstitutionGuy Demel R. Raţ
61'Great effort! Rodriguez does well to keep the ball in on the right-hand side and plays it back across goal for Osvaldo, whose close-range effort is blocked by Reid but it loops up for Schneiderlin, who tries a bicycle kick which is diverted over by Reid.
60'The visitors have a throw on the right and it eventually breaks loose for Diame, who tries to put an inswinging ball in with his right but it goes straight through for a goal kick.
59'West Ham push forward with Jarvis but Southampton to clear the cross. Reid collects it on halfway but the visitors are forced back to Jaaskelainen, whose clearance goes all the way through to Boruc.
57'Rodriguez plays a lovely first-time ball over the top for Schneiderlin on the right-hand side. The midfielder has plenty of red shirts to aim for but his floated cross goes straight to Jaaskelainen.
56'Noble and Morrison exhange passes before spreading it wide to Jarvis. It comes back into the middle again and Morrison lays it to Nolan on the edge of the box, but the Hammers skipper strays just offside and Southampton can clear forward.
54'It's been a frantic start to the half by the hosts, but it's still level. West Ham have some respite with a throw deep in Southampton's half, but Schneiderlin's clearance hits O'Brien and Pochettino's men win the throw.
52'Another chance! Lambert wins a header from a long ball and squares to Osvaldo, who turns quickly before setting Lallana free down the middle, but Jaaskelainen is out quickly to stop the captain rounding him and win a goal kick.
51'Tha hosts are looking strong here, and press forward again through Rodriguez, who finds Osvaldo, and the striker lifts a pass over for Lambert but it skips off the wet surface and bounces through for a goal kick.
50'Southampton have another chance as Lambert breaks on the left, with three men in support. He squares it towards Rodriguez who dummies for Schneiderlin, but the midfielder's first-time pass goes straight to the defender and West Ham clear.
49'Off the woodwork! Wanyama tests Jaaskelainen as he collects a bouncing ball and fires a volley from 25 yards, which the goalkeeper tips over. From the corner Lambert meets the ball at the near post and powers a header against the woodwork.
48'Noble takes the set piece himself, looking for Maiga but Southampton clear. Noble pushes forward again and loses control but they appeal for handball as it hits Fonte in the box, but the referee waves play on.
47'Demel charges down the right-hand side but Osvaldo gets back to fulfil defensive duties and team up with Shaw to win a goal kick. Noble makes a good run forward along the left flank but is taken down by Schneiderlin as he cuts inside, and West Ham have a free kick.
46'And we're back up and running as West Ham get the second half underway. Incredibly, though, Southampton only have ten men as Victor Wanyama turns up late! Astonishing.
Just a couple of minutes until the restart, and the weather's still not looking particularly friendly. Will we see a goal in the second half?
It's almost been the tale of the youngsters so far this afternoon. Ravel Morrison has impressed on his first Premier League start, while Luke Shaw has shown plenty of signs of why he has been tipped to be a star of the future.
A quick word from Ewan Roberts at St Mary's, now: "There's plenty of room for improvement in the second half, though Mauricio Pochettino will be keen to record a long overdue second home clean sheet - which looks likely as things stand."
That's HALF-TIME at St Mary's and we go into the break goalless. It's not been the highest-quality affair but both sides have created opportunities, with Jaaskelainen denying Osvaldo in the best chance of the match so far.
45' + 2'Chance for the visitors! Morrison finds O'Brien on the left-hand side of the box with a superb box, and the full-back plays it across for Nolan who can't get a shot away before Maiga puts a tame effort well wide.
45' + 1'Collins is caught in possession by the hard-working Osvaldo, but Rodriguez spurns the opportunity to break and they lose possession in the first of two minutes' added time.
44'Southampton have a chance to break as Rodriguez pushes down the left channel and manages to find Shaw, but the defender completely skews his cross straight into the stands.
43'Wanyama has a first push forward and prods it past Reid, looking to move into the box, but Collins is there to cover his partner and clear the ball out of play for a throw.
42'The frantic pace of the last 20 minutes or so has slightly dissipated as we enter the final stages of the half. Nolan looks for a long pass to the right of midfield but it goes out for a throw to the hosts.
40'Chance! Lambert and Lallana try to bring down a long clearance from Boruc, but neither can get it under control and Reid comes across to blast a clearance away. The Hammers push forward and it eventually falls to Morrison 25 yards out, and the youngster swings a delightful effort just over the bar.
38'Rodriguez receives the ball in the centre circle, but his touch is loose and he ends up conceding a foul under pressure from O'Brien.
37'Lallana swings in another dangerous set piece and Rodriguez goes up for it, but can't divert his header towards goal and it flies over the bar.
36'Wanyama and Shaw link up before the full-back finds Lambert on the left, and the striker draws a simple foul from Demel, giving the hosts a chance to whip in a dangerous ball.
35'We're back underway through a Jaaskelainen goal kick and Diame rejoins the action, albeit with a slight limp.
34'The visitors are furious as Diame goes down injured after a strong challenge from Schneiderlin but the hosts play on. Replays show the midfielder may be lucky to get away with that, as it looked two-footed. Meanwhile, Diame is still down receiving treatment.
32'Rodriguez bursts forward and exchanges passes with Osvaldo, before the striker produces a stunning trick pass through the defence looking for Lallana, but the skipper doesn't read it and West Ham gain possession.
30'Both Fonte and Lambert go up for the header six yards out, but the referee blows his whistle for a foul. West Ham are through at the other end as Morrison breaks free but is denied in a one-on-one by Boruc, although the offside flag is already up and Saints survive.
29'Yellow Card Mohamed Diame
29'Jose Fonte reads a pass perfectly to intercept and plays it forward to Lallana, who is tripped by Diame and the West Ham man goes into the book. It's played forward to Osvaldo who works hard to win a corner for the hosts.
27'Demel fires a long throw over the defence and Maiga chases it, but goes down clutching his face after Dejan Lovren holds the striker off to win the ball. It seemed fairly innocuous and play goes on.
25'The visitors can't make use of the set piece, though, as Jarvis' ball is cleared and a floated pass looking for the winger goes straight out of play.
24'Jarvis tries to break free from Clyne deep inside the Southampton half but the defender recovers well to challenge the winger before he can cross and concede a corner.
23'Chance! Collins slips while trying to retrieve the ball and Lambert breaks forward, setting Rodriguez away through the middle. The ball comes back to the striker on the edge of the box and he drives a low effort towards goal, forcing Jaaskelainen to make a stop low to his right.
22'Clyne bursts past O'Brien on the right flank and whips a cross in looking for Lambert at the far post, but Demel does well to head away.
20'Nolan floats a good pass wide for Diame, who lays off for Guy Demel, but the full-back's cross is way too hard and goes out the other side for a throw. West Ham win it back quickly, though, and Diame has space in midfield to hammer a 35-yarder just high and wide of the top left-hand corner.
18'Oof, that's a high challenge by Schneiderlin on Diame as he goes for a 50-50 ball, but he escapes punishment and West Ham can fire another long ball forward.
17'Morgan Schneiderlin sloppily gives it away in midfield and West Ham look to move forward. Jarvis and O'Brien link up on the left but the defender can't slot a second pass through the defence and Southampton have the ball once more.
15'Morrison goes in hard on Lambert but only gets a talking-to from the referee. Lallana takes a quick free kick to send Shaw down the left channel, and he pulls the ball back looking for Osvaldo but Diame makes a defensive clearance.
14'Osvaldo causes problems for Collins at the back, putting the defender under pressure, but Reid comes across to clear the danger.
13'The hosts are in possession now, passing it along the back, just trying to reorganise themselves before pressing forward.
12'Definitely the best chance of the match so far, but it definitely came against the run of play. Southampton are starting to grow into the match, though.
11'What a save! Rodriguez picks it up on the left-hand side and darts into the West Ham area before pulling it back to the penalty spot for Dani Osvaldo, who shoots first time but is denied by Jussi Jaaskelainen with a superb low stop to divert it behind.
9'Kevin Nolan cuts the ball out in midfield and sets Jarvis free on the left once more, but again his cross isn't up to scratch and this time it goes straight to Boruc.
8'West Ham have enjoyed a bright start, putting pressure on the Saints back four, but Jarvis spurns a chance to cross from the left, overhitting his right-footed ball in and the hosts have a goal kick.
7'Chance! Mohamed Diame collects the ball deep down the right flank after a lovely diagonal ball by Mark Noble, and the midfielder darts into the area before forcing a point-blank save from Boruc at his near post.
5'Joey O'Brien pushes forward down the left and sends a pass through the defence looking for Morrison, but it runs straight through to Artur Boruc.
4'Wanyama gives away a foul on halfway and James Collins launches it forward towards his defensive partner, Reid, but Luke Shaw does well to win it in the air before drawing a foul on the corner of the box.
4'Wanyama gives away a foul on halfway and James Collins launches it forward towards his defensive partner, Reid, but Luke Shaw does well to win it in the air before drawing a foul on the corner of the box.
3'Adam Lallana swings a free kick into the box from the left but Winston Reid heads clear. Victor Wanyama goes to collect the ball but slips on the wet surface and the visitors regain possession.
2'Jose Fonte makes an early clearance and West Ham have a throw on halfway, but Modibo Maiga challenges for the ball illegally and Saints have possession.
1'We're underway at St Mary's as Southampton get the game started.
West Ham have only conceded one goal in three games this season, while Southampton have only scored twoice. It's a miserable, rainy day on the south coast. 0-0 written all over it? Let's hope not.
STAT ATTACK: Here are some interesting numbers from Ewan Roberts at St Mary's this afternoon. Only Stoke City (27.5) have won more aerial duels per game than West Ham (26.7), while Rickie Lambert had attempted the most headed shots (six) prior to this weekend's fixtures. Meanwhile, Mark Noble has 3 goals in last 3 games against Southampton.
For West Ham, Ravel Morrison earns his first Premier League start at the expense of Stewart Downing, and Andy Carroll is sidelined after picking up a foot injury on his return from an achilles problem.
So, that means Rickie Lambert makes his 200th league appearance for Saints this afternoon. Luke Shaw, Nathaniel Clyne and Jay Rodriguez all come back into the side, with Danny Fox (ankle) missing out, while James Ward-Prowse and Calum Chambers drop to the bench.
WEST HAM: Jaaskelainen; Demel, Reid, Collins, O'Brien; Diame, Noble; Jarvis, Nolan, Morrison; Maiga. // Subs: Adrian, Rat, Tomkins, Collison, Taylor, Lee, Vaz Te.
SOUTHAMPTON: Boruc; Clyne, Lovren, Fonte, Shaw; Schneiderlin, Rodriguez, Wanyama, Lallana; Osvaldo, Lambert. // Subs: K Davis, S Davis, Ramirez, James Ward-Prowse, Do Prado, Chambers, Hooiveld.
The teams have been announced, so let's take a look, starting with Mauricio Pochettino's men...
Good afternoon and welcome to LIVE coverage of the Premier League clash between Southampton and West Ham at St Mary's Stadium. It's already been an action-packed weekend in the top-flight, and both sides will be desperate for the points today after defeats to Norwich and Stoke respectively last weekend.

thank you all for commenting!
if i would have made replies it will be like 19 lines of usersnames and :" thank you ! "
so ... maybe next time
anyways i am having a little war too in the area i live in but dont worry i'm fine
So, the war is now spreading everywhere.
Belarus , Belgium, Netherlands , France was invaded as well...
Hitler's advisers are concerned. Opening 2 fronts while he hasn't even finished with Russia yet , is a very dangerous move.
But for Europe, it seemed like he's Invincible ..
The Germans have arrived to Smolensk. One of the largest big cities before they reach Moscow.
from this place and on, it is plain towns , villages and - nothing .

File Managers - Your Personal Experiences ?
I have downloaded a few alternative file managers for Windows7. The most recent Free Commander XE (Beta) in it's Beta stages it doesn't live up very well, it crashes at random and after roughly six month use, I can't use it for my day-to-day file tasking. Rather then searching and trying more File Managers, I want to know your suggestions and experiences ?

I've been using Powerdesk Pro for years, but version 6 is the last good version I've used. That's a 32-bit app. Tried version 8, and it's got one bug that hacked me off, so I stayed with v6. I see there's a version 9, but haven't looked at it yet.
Might be worth a look.

Correction: Looks like Power Desk is only up to v8.5.
Here's a pretty good recent discussion about file managers.
Upgrade to PowerDesk Pro 8.5 ??? RIP-OFF!!!! - question in OS & Utilities
As you'll see, Power Desk gets complaints, but I know the trial v8 was ok except for the bug that turned me off - it wouldn't save launch bar changes.
You really have to try this type app for yourself. I didn't any other issues that some have. Really disappointing though that what was a very good product apparently went downhill after Avanquest took over from OnTrack.

You may want to check out QTTabbar 1.5. I believe its still in beta, but its a plugin for windows explorer that gives you tabs and a few menu options. I like being able to save favorite tab groupings and adding having a favorite apps dropdown. I've never had a crash with it and I've really grown fond of it.
For a standalone explorer replacement I think that XYPlorer is pretty impressive. There are some really useful extras built into it and teamed up with Listary its pretty powerful.

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to analyze a series of mosaic images which are very big in size, so I'm attaching a sample area below (this is a combination of 4 layers (blue for DAPI, green cells, red cells, and white marker area)
where I have two areas I'm looking at: one positive and the other negative for the white marker stain (basically the rest of the epithelium that's not white). In each of these areas, I'm looking to quantify the number of cells double positive for the red and green stain out of the total number of green positive cells.
(For my first pipeline, I did roughly the following: Identify primary objects by nuclei>threshold green cells>mask the nuclei with green cells>threshold red cells>mask the nuclei/green cells layer with the red cell layer >threshold the white area>mask the nuclei/green/red cells with the white area, count the objects.) However, one of the issues I ran into was that the red marker stain is not uniform throughout the tissue, i.e. it is fainter in the center vs the edges (picture attached)
I'm attaching 2 batches of images of the new pipeline I made (the images used for analysis are mosaics of very big size, so I'm using a representative part as an example), where I'm listing the other questions I have. I'm copying them here as well: 1. The white area is not uniformly stained (step 2 in the pipeline), i.e. not all of the cells in that area are stained positive for the marker. Is there a way to fill in the gaps for that layer in include the entire area based on its border? Alternatively, is there a way to hand select this area?2. I'm trying to count the cells in the epithelium area only, but unfortunately it turns out some nuclei co-localize with green and red in the surrounding areas (step 11 in the pipeline). Is there a way to exclude the area from the counting ? Perhaps manually?
Thanks so much for any imput, and please let me know if you have any other clarifications!Vera
Hello there,
Thank you for this interesting post. I may need a bit more time for a better solution. In the meantime, my initiative suggestion is that you can try to correct the uneven brightness of red channel by using IlluminationCorrectionCalculate and then IlluminationCorrectionApply (after converting ColorToGray first for red channel)After correcting illumination, you may still need to use Adaptive thresholding in IdentifyObjectPrimary for better result.
Regarding "a way to hand select this area", yes there is: you can add module IdentifyObjectManually where you can draw the region of interest.
Regarding "a way to fill in the gaps for that layer": you can use module Morph in which you use operation Close with a large disk size >20
Regarding "a way to exclude objects": you can use module MaskImage in which you select the overlapped objects and choose Invert the mask.
Hope that helps a little.
Hi Minh, Thanks so much for your reply -- I tried the Morph feature, and it worked pretty well for delineating the positive and negative areas.
My other remaining question would be how to improve IdentifyPrimaryObjects identification of the nuclei. I think the main problem seems to be that the nuclei seem to be clumped in some areas, as well as the stain is not uniform. I counted the nuclei manually and via CellProfiler, and right now CellProfiler is underestimating the number of nuclei by 25%.
I was also wondering if there are other programs that I could use for the purposes of nuclei quantification, i.e. ilastik? Otherwise, maybe I could adjust the features in ImageJ?
I'm attaching an example of a part of the DAPI image I'm working with, as well as the settings I'm using for identifying the primary objects.
Thanks, Vera
Hi there,
Yes, you're right, the clumped nuclei is definitely a difficult case. In general, segmentation on tissue section on its own is an on-going research field. So for the moment, there isn't any single software that can fits all scenario. Some is better for fibroblast, some is better for squamous epithelial cells, some is better for stratified cells.For your case, I think it's a mix of different areas, each need different parameters. You may have to try to first separate each of these areas (by IdentifyObjectManually), mask the original images to isolate ROI, then do segmentation with tuning parameters on each of the ROI. I know it's painful...
Only at this step (segmentation after identifying ROI ), ilastik can be used to aid the process. I don't recommend to use ilastik for a whole image.
Good luck.

Spring Suave
It seems that another week has disappeared into a haze of fast-paced days, allowing for the return of yet another precious weekend. Sadly, the rain had to return with it. While I would usually be spending my two days of freedom exploring a new hike, the weather has forced me to resort to more practical activities. Today I plan to start shopping with my bridesmaids for their dresses and party tonight with good company downtown. Let's hope that the weather picks up soon!
In terms of this outfit worn a couple of weekends ago (wow time has really gone by so fast!), I wore this sexy little summer top along with this more conservative skirt for the daytime. However, for my engagement party later that night, I changed into gold skorts for a more comfortable yet glamorous look. I was also happy to bring out these baby blue heels from the shoe closet; it's been too long since I've worn my pretty spring/summer shoes.
What spring or summer attire are you most looking forward to wearing?
