Khadarali continues to succeed despite poverty.
Khadarali is a young boy from a slum in Bangalore. His parents work as tailors and earn a meagre amount every day. They did not even have enough money to pay for their basic needs.
Khadaralli was a bright boy filled with a desire to learn and grow. But he did not have the opportunity to go to school. His education was a financial burden that his family could not carry.
When Christel House found him, they wanted to change this for him. The Social Service team from Christel House visited the slum and encouraged his parents to send him to school. They told them how education was important for Khadarali. They helped them understand that education would open different possibilities for him in the future.
CHLC provided quality education for Khadarali. He is an outstanding student and enjoys taking part in school activities. He joined Taekwondo classes and went on to win the gold medal at the National Taekwondo Competition. He was also selected to attend a fully sponsored Summer Leadership camp in Culver, Indianapolis, USA.
A little financial help is all a child like Khadarali needs to set him flying. Your donation could give a poor child a chance to excel. You can give with confidence because every program on our platform is GIVEASSURED.

Story from the field
Our first medical doctor! Dr. Shaik Reshma is a 2012 Christel House India graduate. "Becoming a doctor was my dream since childhood," Dr. Reshma says. She will work as an intern at a local hospital then do a year of rural service. Her father worked as a driver and her mother looked after the home and her four siblings. Her father struggled to make ends meet. When she joined Christel House, she was shy, reserved and lacked confidence. Christel House helped her to come out of her shell and believe that she could achieve and succeed. With the help of the College & career program, she perused the education needed to become a doctor. The school provided her with a scholarship throughout her undergraduate education.

Xavier Univ. Receives $16.8M Renewal NIH Award to Enhance Diversity in Biomedical Workforce
Xavier University of Louisiana received a $16.8 million grant renewal from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) as part of the national Building Infrastructure Leading to Diversity (BUILD) initiative. The second phase of the grant, Project Pathways II, will allow Xavier to focus on the most effective aspects of the already thriving biomedical program that this historically Black university offers its students, work to institutionalize these initiatives, and disseminate these best practices across the country. [Xavier University is a UNCF-member institution.]
"We are proud that the NIH has named us, once again, as one of the institutions that it believes can uniquely contribute to increasing diversity in biomedical fields," said Dr. Reynold Verret, President of Xavier University. "Xavier is already a national leader in producing African American graduates who go on to earn terminal degrees, however, with this grant, we plan not only to increase the number of our graduates who enter and complete graduate studies in biomedical sciences but to also identify and map initiatives which can be disseminated to other institutions of higher education in order to increase the number of African American biomedical scientists nationally."
The Project Pathways II award is one of only ten across the country forming the Diversity Program Consortium BUILD Initiative, an approximately $200 million NIH investment that seeks to continue to develop new approaches to engage student researchers, especially those from underrepresented backgrounds, and prepare them to thrive in the biomedical workforce. Xavier and fellow awardees will continue to train, mentor and encourage students from underrepresented groups to enter into and stay in biomedical research careers.
"The BUILD funding from the NIH has provided us with a great opportunity. This grant has provided resources to implement initiatives, which are assisting us in doing what we do best, preparing Xavier students for successfully entering and completing graduate and professional programs," stated Dr. Maryam Foroozesh, Xavier's BUILD Program Lead Principal Investigator.
Xavier's BUILD Initiative is expected to include seven integrated components:
- Intensive career guidance and support
- Academic support and tutoring for numerous biomedical courses
- Hands-on research training and mentorship experiences for students across the biomedical sciences, with financial support for participating students
- Mentor training resources for faculty and staff
- Further development of a network of research-intensive partner institutions to facilitate student placement in summer research programs and graduate schools, as well as faculty research collaborations
- Full-time research opportunities for recent graduates as Post-Baccalaureate Technicians
- Opportunities for faculty to enhance their research and teaching
For information about the BUILD awardees, please visit: https://www.nigms.nih.gov/training/dpc/pages/build.aspx

Here I begin to craft the battle lines of the Rage of Angels.This is the enemy…
Just beyond Angari's comprehension there lurked in the Barrier Wood a being more dangerous to the Alari than anything he had met in the millennia he had been alive. Word had finally come to Lucifer, the great deceiver, the great dragon of Revelation, that an innocent world still existed. A shining light in the galaxy. A world not his. And protecting that world, an angel, an Alari he was called. Angari was his name. And Lucifer had it.
Now, he prowled the Barrier Wood. Abiding furiously until the day he brought the Alari under his control. Words would be his weapon. Words more subtle than those he used to drive those two from Eden. Always in the Alari's thoughts as he rested in the shade of the Barrier Wood. As though they were his own; as though he alone had thought of them; the questions, the resentment for being made eternal.
"Your Maker has given you free will, Angari! Just as he gave it to Eve and Adam! Your downfall, Alari!" Had Angari been watching the Wood he would have seen it tremble as though a mighty wind had sent ripples over its surface.
Here I begin to craft the battle lines of the Rage of Angels.This is the enemy…

Support Veterans with PTSD sign now
On behalf of Angelo Vitalones, Sr., I am organizing this petition so that he may hand carry signatures on December 4, 2005. It is URGENT that you circulate to your friends so that the needed amount of signatures will be complete in this short period of time.
Per Angelo: Please, I ask on behalf of all Veterans,friends,relatives,to sign your name to this petition. We need too let our voices be heard. Signatures will be hand carried to Secretary Jim Nicholson and signatures needed by December 4, 2005. PLEASE SIGN AND FORWARD!
Here are the specifics:
Over the past year, the Department of Veterans' Affairs (VA), led by
Secretary Jim Nicholson, has turned a deaf ear to veterans and quietly made
numerous decisions designed to strip veterans of benefits and compensation.
But, with Secretary Nicholson at the VA helm, veterans have come to feel
isolated from the agency's decision-making processes.
Earlier this year, veterans were surprised by the VA's "second signature
required" (SSR) policy. SSR applied to approved claims for many
"high-dollar" disabilities and stipulated that the claim be re-approved by
another VA staffer. However, if the claim was denied by the first staffer,
there was no second review.
Veterans' groups claimed that a SSR policy should apply to all claims for
any condition whether they were approved or denied. The fact that the VA
chose to apply SSR to disabilities with "high-dollar" compensation was proof
to many veterans that the agency was just trying to save money by denying
The SSR policy was NOT announced by the VA. Only some very good
investigative work by Cheryl Reed of the Chicago Sun-Times brought the story
to light. This is just one of many instances where the VA has instituted
policies detrimental to veterans without making the actions public.
The latest "unannounced" move by the VA is a new review of PTSD diagnosis,
treatment and compensation. The VA's plans came to light on November 16,
just six days after they had canceled a review of 72,000 PTSD claims awarded
at 100 percent disability. Pressure from veterans' groups and Democrat
members of Congress forced the cancellation.
The VA's new PTSD review was not announced by the VA. There was no VA press
release. There was no VA press conference. The information was not posted on
the VA web site.
Information about the new PTSD review was made public in a press release by
Senator Larry Craig (R-ID), Chairman of the Senate Committee on Veterans'
Affairs. The release, in part, said, "The Department of Veterans Affairs
announced today that it has contracted with the Institute of Medicine (IOM)
on a two-pronged approach to the examination
of PTSD."
Except, the VA hadn't announced anything. They were using Senator Craig as
their conduit to hand out the bad news. Since Craig's press releases don't
have a high readership, this information has gone virtually unnoticed.
Upon reading Senator Craig's press release I called the Public Affairs
Office at the VA. They had no knowledge of the review. I then called the
Institute of Medicine. They had no knowledge of the review.
Senator Craig's office was more helpful. They forwarded the two documents
the VA had sent to them. One document is a Fact Sheet detailing the contract
between the VA and the IOM. The other is a Question and Answer sheet. (NOTE:
The VA documents are available at the following URL -
http://www.vawatchdog.org/newsflash/newsflash11-23-2005-3.htm )
I encourage all veterans to read the VA documents. They detail a plan to
redefine PTSD by altering diagnostic and treatment techniques that will then
lead to a complete restructuring of VA compensation. Following are a few
excerpts from the VA Fact Sheet.
The IOM "...will review the utility and objectiveness of the criteria in the
Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM- IV), and will
comment on the validity of current screening instruments and their
predictive capacity for accurate diagnoses."
This will allow the VA to write an alternate definition of PTSD exclusive of
the DSM-IV and institute new methods of treatment outside of normally
accepted guidelines. I wonder what the American Psychiatric Association will
say about this?
Also, the IOM "...will review the literature on compensation practices for
PTSD...and how changes in the frequency and intensity of symptoms affect
compensation practices for PTSD; assessing how compensation practices and
reevaluation requirements for PTSD compare with other chronic conditions
which have periods of remission and return of
symptoms; and reviewing strategies used to support recovery and return to
function in patients with PTSD."
And, this will allow the VA to lower PTSD compensation based on "frequency
and intensity of symptoms" and "remission and return of symptoms." The VA
will also be looking to deny PTSD benefits based on the concept of "recovery
and return to function." VA Secretary Nicholson has often used the word
"recover" (terribly close to the word "cure")
when speaking of veterans with PTSD. The IOM reviews will be completed in a
Also, there were two big surprises found in the Question and Answer
"QUESTION: Why is this study being conducted now?
ANSWER: Over the next two years, the [VA] Secretary and the Veterans'
Disability Benefits Commission (VDBC) is (sic) closely examining
compensation for all health conditions, including PTSD."
Surprise number one is that the VA has not announced that Secretary
Nicholson is examining compensation "for ALL health conditions." Veterans
can only look forward to fewer benefits and lower compensation with
Nicholson directing this endeavor.
The second surprise is Secretary Nicholson's mention of the VDBC. The VDBC,
by law, is "independent of the Department of Veterans' Affairs." However, to
discover that they are coordinating their efforts should not be a surprise.
The VDBC is made up of 13 members who are currently studying all areas of VA
compensation. Nine VDBC members were appointed by Republicans. Secretary
Nicholson was appointed by President Bush.
Then there is the matter of timing. The VDBC's charter stipulates that their
reports must be done by October of 2006. But, the VDBC has also contracted
with the IOM for studies that will not be complete for at least a year. They
will be asking for an extension. This means that the VDBC reports from IOM
and the VA reports from IOM will be released at the same time, well AFTER
the 2006 elections. I don't believe in coincidence.
Sometime in early 2007, after the elections, VA Secretary Jim Nicholson will
be armed with reports from the VDBC and the VA's IOM studies. Expect a
two-fisted attack on veterans' benefits and compensation from an
administration that is the first to shout "Support Our Troops"...until they
become veterans. (written by Larry Scott)

OK, by bad I mean BAD in the traditional sense of society not the "that website is so bad" vernacular where bad = incredibly good. We so often try to identify all with regard to good in website creation but perhaps a more fullfilling approach is in order to key elements of a really bad design with a view to avoiding the kids! Following are 5 of my most irritating website design bugbears.
Having Your online Site Planned for You There are bazillions of Web Design ers available. Just Google " " and you will a few hundred trillion. However, just excess fat voiceover, many people who can almost never need.or have never completed it well. Here are three personal recommendations of folks I be acquainted with. I've seen their work, and (if you can catch them when they're available) they'll do an excellent job a fair value tag.
Annotate your links. Give your viewer a good idea about location that the link will probably be to take them before they actually click the website link. This description may assist you to catch someone's attention which would have just passed with link because they did not know where it would take these individuals.
A good Web Design will be considering the best search phrases, known as "keywords" to create on individual pages of your site around. For example, while i built my client, who sells the kitset home site, the obvious search phrase "kitset home's. I have these words to this website in strategic locations, for 'title' tag, which is a hidden code for the site, may what motors like google see. Additionally use keywords in other places throughout the site's contented. As a result, this site incorporates a very Google and other search engines for the search term "New Zealand kitset homes.
Whether an individual using a button, a photograph or a Web Design site for your CT, keep in mind that it will take to motivate your visitors into just it getting to consider. This can be completed by while using right hues.
Could you would imagine anyone having the capacity to practically demonstrate the volume in a physical form for you to see? To me additionally you can easily like grains of sand on a beach or what about a sand get.
Prepare yourself and home for your chosen career. Advertise yourself and be familiar associated with latest method of doing so: online. Most part-time jobs nowadays involve logging to the Internet then it pays to get computer clever. Creativity isn't lost in this arena, it more convenient for web design, web content writing, multimedia development, freelance writing, give up. Baking and cake decorating have been found to be lucrative associated with income. Entertainment also has a following, who knew that your clowning skills in college would help you become earn? Self-help books are popular, so becoming a school teacher or tutor is another part-time remedy. You can teach aerobics, math, grammar, cooking it will lie upon your specialization and knowledge at hand.
Our car is a very precious possession of ours. I know you take utmost care for they. But what will you do with the pot holes, speed bumps and rough roads. They are part of every single day driving. Your cars comes talking to all these normal. That is the reason why it is advisable to keep it well tuned. In fact if you also got a brand new one, then also you need tuning. It will help your car to provide you for a longer time of time. Basically this is an ordinary fact that that's been has moving parts tends to break very easily. Areas also another reason to send it for tuning at regular intervals.
When the tuned engine is reassembled, the power your car possesses forces you to go hot. To allow more fuel and increase the power, you'll need a camshaft which can lift and open the valves for prolonged. Your auto car ecu programming process will also require compatible pistons and rings. One should not forget about upgrading connecting rods and also wrist pins, depending upon the changes made when tuning an cycle.
(3) Guitar Pitch Pipe - Guitar pitch pipe is another acoustic guitar tuning method that utilize. Guitar pitch pipe could be the pipe that may produce specific sound or pitch depending on which pipe you strike. You can get electric guitar pitch pipe from any music retain. There are six holes on the pitch pipe that will produce tone when appear. The guitar string is then tuned to this tone. For user reference, each hole is marked with alphabet A - D - G - B - E representing each guitar string.
At low power outputs (no boost) catalytic converter equipped car ecu programming software require an energy mixture of Lambda 4.99 (AFR 14.64) for best emissions, and this is the target fuel mixture when the OE ECU is operating in closed loop. Improvements in gas mileage can be produced by leaning fuel mixtures off to Lambda single.05 (AFR 15.4 to 1), but this happens at the fee for cat converter operation tending to increase exhaust temperatures when cruising.
Gas rc boats have much longer run times, tend to be usually slower and costly. However it is cheaper to work with the car ecu programming duration because gasoline is much cheaper than nitro fuel.
If your solution is No, beware that your car is calling for tuning of the engine. Higher . transform car or truck to be as good as it was when that new. Much better part would likely tips here will direct you in tuning an engine by your family. Apart from this article devices needed to will require will become the perfect garage and tools.
Buy from RC toys car programming software shops and online hobby stores from China manufacturer that have: good reputation, store brand and good merchant rating. Think about availability of items and fundamental delivered the price.
Vin Diesel, who will be the main character in The Wheelman video game, looks to a good obvious audience among sportsmen, action junkies, bodybuilders while who pertain to his "tough guy" visual.but does he also have a strong appeal to entrepreneurs, and also internet enterprisers?
From there, a Japan Full Video was unveiled showing the prank. Did not have YouTube video, showed while they were woman executing a handstand against a door and "twerking," before her friend opened the door and sent her crashing down the table significant lit tapers. The woman who has long been twerking ended up being literally "on fire," along with the video soon stopped, lasting not also a minute.
Now, what / things you do when great call? First, understand that most have no idea what this postcard is nearly. They simply came home, got the mail, and found this really unusual postcard that was hand written. Simply to satisfy curiosity, they in order to call. That's okay. To take care of the situation, you will need to start communicating with them. Because they are calling YOU, you are automatically postured to means to interview them.
Things are available about. This can vary, anything from abusive relationship to studying my boyfriend is starring in online Free Porn Movie using a porn name, to just realizing people aren't similar belief. (Discourage/disappointment).
Once a police detective, now a security guard, Ben Carson (Kiefer Sutherland) actually starts to see some weird things happening as old building in which he works. He soon discovers that your building or more specifically, the mirrors within building are haunted. Then Carson ends up having to conduct whatever it will take to keep Japan AV his astranged family protected.
That's what I've always liked the franchise, the actors included. Sure Free Porn Movie has his Riddick franchise and Paul Walker has been doing many other films, although i don't think I'd honestly films without one (and yes I know Tokyo Drift doesn't exactly fit what I'm saying here). The franchise is Diesel, Walker, Michelle Rodriguez, Jordana Brewster, Tyrese Gibson, Ludacris and now The Rock n roll. Some of them have not been as featured or a lead throughout different films, but they always served the reason for creating cameraman atmosphere. The actual addition of Luke Evans as you can't guy and Gina Carano fighting like one for this boys, Fast 6 shall do big in the box office as most.
A childlike voice doesn't instill confidence in the listener. If you are plagued by a sound reminiscent of any 12-year-old, not really try discover your real signals? You will sound aged - not as old, less than young. Magnificence of good voice training is that you will also find your voice improving with your age. The older I get, the better I sound which seriously a amazing because nothing else on my figure is improving with grow old!
Anyway, make a one-second black frame in the end, slide it to the site the resulted in a half-second, or use the timeline indicator and create the one-second frame and liquefy. Preview and note the timing of your sequences. Then save the project. It may not considerably without music, but you already created two series. The basic editing functions you in order to using should be more familiar and for you to do now, so the steps don't need all the explanation yet again. Now that you have a little more experience, let's finish this project in next segment.

Avast Antivirus 2019 Protection For PC Review and Free Download
Senin, 10 Desember 2018 Tambah Komentar Edit
Avast Antivirus 2019 Protection For PC Review and Free Download - There are few mainstream antivirus suites which might be as expensive as Avast top-rated. cutting-edge pricing for this suite is $70 for a single laptop for a yr. For five desktops, that rate jumps to $a hundred thirty five. It's crazy steeply-priced compared to Norton or McAfee, both of which cowl 10 gadgets for approximately $30 less. alternatively, you do get a solid suite for Avast's price, with a great quantity of more equipment and utilities.

For 2019, Avast most efficient isn't converting too much visually, but underneath the hood its bumping up the anti-phishing era, offering an stepped forward and renamed recreation mode that isn't only for video games, and a better smart test.
Anti-phishing era is a mainstay in Avast's security suites, as it's far in most safety suites in recent times. but for 2019, Avast superior can flag phishing websites without a browser extension. generally, protection suites install a browser extension in your default browser and flag suspicious sites that way. With Avast premier, when a phishing website is detected the suite throws up a medium-sized alert window in the middle of the screen. It informs you the web page was blocked for capability phishing after which advises you to experiment your pc, as pictured right here.

Avast's approach analyzes diverse additives of a domain to discover nefarious behavior which includes a site's URL, area meta data, and "the visible factors of sites." Avast says this new method allows it to "recognize new phishing web sites in seconds," however I'm not so sure about that.
I didn't run a proper take a look at of Avast's phishing capabilities but I did visit Comodo's to find some present day phishing websites so I should see the new characteristic in action. all through my time attempting out the new feature, it blocked a OneDrive phishing website almost right away, but then Avira didn't let out a peep after I landed at the login page for a phishing website posing as Blockchain.com, a popular buying and selling and Bitcoin wallet service. Avast Antivirus 2019 Protection For PC Review and Free Download
To be fair, Chrome also didn't throw up an alert for that site, and Chrome often catches recognized phishing websites. nevertheless, the fact that Avast didn't block me from logging right into a fake cryptocurrency site is concerning since phishing is an clean manner that unsuspecting customers can lose their virtual coins.

I believe the morning QantasLink Dash-8-Q400 QLK2503 service from Cairns - operated by VH-QOT - returned to Cairns.
While all three Virgin Australia flights into Hamo on Tuesday 21 July diverted to different locations - VOZ1751 from Melbourne (Tullamarine) operated by B737-800 VH-YVC diverted to Townsville - VOZ1281 from Sydney operated by B737-800 VH-YVD diverted to Mackay - VOZ1497 from Brisbane operated by B737-800 VH-YFI actually returned to Brisbane after being unable to land. All three return flights from Hamilton were subsequently cancelled.
Finally, the Jetstar Airways Airbus A320 JST846 service from Sydney - operated by VH-VGH - also diverted to Townsville.
All aircraft that diverted did not attempt another landing at Hamilton Island, instead positioning to various ports to resume their day of flying.

Finally, there was due to be an Alliance Airlines charter into Hamilton Island late on Tuesday 21 July, and Fokker F-100 VH-FKA was noted flying to Hamo as UTY560. It too did not land and returned to Brisbane.
What a messy day!

The Ultimate Guide to Reward Travel
Chapter Five Get More From Your Points
- The art of transferring points between programs
- How partnerships help you get more value
- Tips to find availability
- The value of rewards
- How RewardStock determine which scenario is best
You've made it this far! After understanding the basics reward programs, and the very cool stuff you can get for them, you probably got excited. Then you learned that it's actually a completely logical ecosystem that works a lot like other currency markets. Maybe you're thinking that you're ready to go off and start playing the game. Pump your brakes! There are lots of tricks and tricky parts to using points to travel, and you'll probably want to use a tool to help.
Some programs have the ability to completely convert rewards from one program into rewards to another program, and different exchange rates apply depending on the program. These points are extremely valuable and the flexibility allows you to earn rewards with one program and utilize them with others to maximize your options. Chase Ultimate Rewards transfers into about a dozen other programs operated by airlines and hotels. That's just one example, as Starwood, American Express and Citi also have significant transfer structures. In order to get the most value from your rewards, you should factor the transfer potential into your equation, (or have the RewardStock software do it for you).
Many programs partner with each other, allowing you to use rewards from one program to purchase travel with a different provider. These are different from – and in addition to – transfers. The difference is that with partnership arrangements you can use rewards from one currency to purchase travel on a partner. You don't convert the points from one currency to another in this case, you simply use them directly to purchase a partner's travel.
Airlines call these partnerships "alliances." Most major airlines are members of an alliance, which allows you to earn and use rewards on all airlines within the alliance. This means that rewards earned on "Airline A" could be used to book on "Airline B", often times saving you valuable points and allowing you to book a wider range of flight routes than the primary airline has alone.
The main thing to know about availability is that it is out of your control and you will never really know if you will be able to use your points to book something until you get out there and try to make the redemption. Full stop. A common phrase in this world is YMMV, which means "Your Mileage May Vary." In short, until you have the ticket confirmation in your inbox, it's a bit of a risk that you may not get the booking you want at the time you want.
There are some things you can do to mitigate the risk:
First, start planning early. After all, if you have the points, you can book anything that's available right then and there. So get the points as soon as possible. We recommend booking your reward flight or hotel 6 – 9 months before the date of travel for best availability.
Second, you can always periodically check availability while you're in the process of earning the points you'll need. If you do, you'll get a sense for how many seats might be available and if someone snaps up the last remaining seat, you'll know earlier and you'll be able to adapt your strategy for a different trip or a different way to redeem for the trip you're after.
As a general rule, flights are a lot harder to find availability for than hotels. For this reason, we typically focus on finding availability for flights first, and then look at hotel availability to confirm. For many hotels, there will be reward bookings available as long as there is a room open. That's not always the case, but it's what we see most often.
There are two main ways that reward values are determined, based on how redemptions are structured.
First is fixed value, and this generally applies to cash-back rewards, or for some types of reward redemptions like booking through a bank's travel portal. When you redeem certain bank-operated reward program points through their travel portal. For example, you can expect to get 1.25 cents per reward (¢pr) no matter what type of flight you book, or what cities you're traveling between.
Alternatively, other programs are structured based on distance-based or zone-based award charts. This means that the value of the rewards will vary because the number of points required is fixed, and actual flight prices move.
So if you can identify the best deals within a category, you can end up getting a lot better value. Or, if you're not paying attention, you could end up using your rewards for bad redemptions. For example, within the continental US, many programs might charge 12,500 points each way as their standard redemption option. If you use those for a flight from New York to Chicago that would have cost $300, you'd get 2.4 cents per reward, which is not bad. If you used them for a flight from New York to Los Angeles that would have cost $400, you'd be getting 3.2 cents per reward.
The main takeaway here is that the value of reward points is based on how you use those points. RewardStock has a built-in reward valuation platform so you always know the value of your points.
One more consideration for using points is the idea of multiple scenarios analysis. There are often several ways to book a trip with points. For example, there are at least five ways to pay for the exact same seat on a single carrier for a flight from Raleigh-Durham to New York. Which one is best? Wouldn't it help to look at the other options if the first one you try isn't available? That's just scratching the surface. Add in the desire to stay at a hotel on your trip, with many hotel chains that accept points for payment, and you're looking at dozens of combinations. Make it an international flight which adds partner carriers with different redemption options and multiple reward currencies that could be used to pay for each part of your trip and you start getting into thousands of potential strategies for even a single destination trip.
How do you know what's the best way for you to use your points? If you don't analyze them, you'll likely be making a mistake and spending more points than you need to or maybe even missing out on taking trips because you didn't think up the right scenario. You could try to analyze each of the scenarios manually, but that'd take forever. Fortunately, RewardStock software does all of the analysis for you.
We hope this guide to using reward points has been helpful. If you have any questions, reach out to us (email@example.com)! We're happy to help. We've learned that you don't have to be rich to travel like you're rich. Just use rewards, and now you know how!

Mark Cavendish will stop racing if he cannot return to his top level, says his long-time director Rolf Aldag.
Team Dimension Data's performance manager explained that Cavendish returned riding 10 days ago, cleared of the Epstein-Barr virus. Now, the super sprinter must try to reach his top speed again.
>> Struggling to get to the shops? Try 6 issues of Cycling Weekly magazine for just £6 delivered to your door <<
"If he isn't competitive at the highest level, then I don't know what he's going to do," Aldag told Cycling Weekly.
>>> Mark Cavendish to stay with Dimension Data through 2019, according to reports
"He's not aiming to win a stage in the Four Days of Dunkirk or whatever, no disrespect to those races.
"He's motivated to come back to the highest level, to be competitive in the first sprints. I think that if he realises he can't be at that level, he could stop."
Cavendish counts 30 Tour de France stage wins, second only to Eddy Merckx with 34. He suffered through the 2018 Tour without winning a stage and was eliminated after missing the time cut in the Alps and last raced at the RideLondon-Surrey Classic. Since, he has been dealing with Epstein-Barr virus.
The good news is that Cavendish, 34 next May, is riding again. This weekend he was in the US to ride the gran fondo that former team-mate George Hincapie organises. His 2019 race programme remains unknown, but the focus as always will be on the Tour.
"He will make the decision himself, it'd never really come to that when the team would say, you're not selected [for the Tour roster]. He won 30 stages, I can't see him having a Tour de France like the one this year," Aldag said.
"Last year was different, he crashed and broke his shoulder, but I think he was competitive. 2018 was a complete disaster due to illness and sickness. He will be very clear, he is not going to make himself look like a fool."
Aldag said that recent blood tests cleared Cavendish to start riding again. He returned with a ride at home on the Isle of Man.
"I believe that if he wouldn't trust in his own comeback, he wouldn't do it. He believes he can come back," continued Aldag.
"He's always strongest when people write him off, that was the way in 2015, then he won four stages in the Tour de France and an Olympic medal.
"It's good that he starts slowly, takes the time, not to rush it and to give your body an extra rest."
Dimension Data are said to have renewed Cavendish for one more year. They announced Mark Renshaw's extension, and should follow it with Bernhard Eisel and Cavendish.
However, some suggest that Cavendish may not stay with the team for a fourth year given they signed sprinter Giacomo Nizzolo from Trek-Segafredo.

Bose, in his 90 minutes talk, elaborately discussed about coin trade and its historical aspects in the country, particularly in the North-east.
Speaking on the importance of such hobby, the famous numismatist said, "Coins are the living historical documents which say a lot about the culture, trade, economy, language, etc., about a state and its relation with other states," adding, "so, a systematic collection of coins is important. If you can study it deeply, it can lead you to many new and interesting true stories about the past."
An exhibition of collection by private collectors from Dhubri was also held on the occasion. Collectors namely, Debajit Das, Pinaki Chakraborty, Arunendu Acharjee and Nizamul Islam exhibited their collections of coins ranging from historical era to modern period. The visitors appreciated the exhibition which was educative too.
"The entire programme organised by the Museum was an enriching experience and we need more of such approaches showing examples of community engagement," expressed eminent scholar and senior journalist Dr Girindranath Goswami, who also chaired the session which was attended by many dignitaries from across the district, including SP Longneet Terang, DIPRO Bikash Sharma and District Museum officer Mrinmoy Das.

A bioshpere reserve contains a set of unique ecosystems rich in biodiversity such
as medicinal plants, traditional landraces or crops and their wild relatives,
ancient races of domestic animals and indigenous people.
The Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve
The Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve was the first biosphere reserve in India established in the year 1986. It is located in the Western Ghats and includes 2 of the 10 biogeographical provinces of India. A wide range of ecosystems and species diversity are found in this region. Thus, it was a natural choice for the premier biosphere reserve of the country.
The total area of the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve is 5,520 sq. km. It is located in the Western Ghats between 76°- 77°15'E and 11°15' - 12°15'N. The Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve encompasses parts of Tamilnadu, Kerala and Karnataka. The annual rainfall of the reserve ranges from 500 mm to 7000 mm with temperature ranging from 0°C during winter to 41°C during summer.
The Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve comprises of substantial unspoilt areas of natural vegetation ranging from dry scrub to evergreen forests and swamps thus contributing to highest biodiversity. The altitude and climatic gradients support and nourish the different vegetational types.
The Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve is very rich in plant diversity. About 3,300 species of flowering plants can be seen here. Of the 3,300 species 132 are endemic to the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve. The genus Baeolepis is exclusively endemic to the Nilgiris. Some of the plants entirely restricted to the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve include species of Adenoon, Calacanthus, Baeolepis, Frerea, Jarodina, Wagatea, Poeciloneuron, etc.
The fauna of the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve includesover over 100 species of mammals, 350 species of birds, 80 species of reptiles and amphibians, 300 species of butterflies and innumerable invertebrates. 39 species of fish, 31 amphibians and 60 species of reptiles endemic to the Western Ghats also occur in the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve. Fresh water fish such as Danio neilgheriensis,Hypselobarbusdubuis and Puntius bovanicus are restricted to the Nilgiri BiosphereReserve. The Nilgiri tahr, Nilgiri langur, slender loris, blackbuck, tiger, gaur, Indian elephant and marten aresome of the animals found here.
Water resources
The Nilgiri  Biosphere Reserve is one of the critical catchment areas of peninsular India. Many of the major tributaries of the river Cauvery like the Bhavani, Moyar, Kabini and other rivers like Chaliyar, Punampuzha, etc., have their source and catchment areas within the reserve boundary. Many hydroelectric power projects are present in the Kundah, Bhavani and Moyar basins .
The sholas and grasslands play a very important role in retaining water and supplying it to these streams. A drastic decline in the sholas and grasslands is one of the reasons for the recent water scarcity in the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve.
The people
Problems of the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve
The Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve has been enduring human interference for a very long time through development projects such as hydroelectric power projects, agriculture, horticulture, etc., which have brought about substantial change in the ecology of the area. Many environmental problems are noticed in different parts of the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve.
Intensive felling
The increase in influx of population from the surrounding areas has led to deforestation and consequent habitat destruction. Between 1990 – 96 there has been a decrease in the dense forest area. 28.96 sq. km. of dense forests have become open forest and 22.67 sq. km. of dense forests have changed into non-forest areas. Intensive felling has led to multiple problems like destruction, depletion and degradation of the environment and its natural .resources.Indiscriminate clearing of forestsis destroying the habitat of the several species of animals and birds of the Nilgiris. Some of them like the Nilgiri wood pigeon, Nilgiri pipet and Nilgiri langur that are endemic to this region have hence become highly endangered. Animals like the elephant, tiger and leopard are moving closer to human settlements owing to the shrinking of forest areas.
Plantations (monoculture)
The Nilgiris, which support a variety of tree species, are threatened by monoculture. The sholas are being destroyed for plantations. Monoculture of eucalyptus, wattle, blue gum, cash crops like tea, coffee, cardamom and food crops like potato have degraded the soil quality along with excessive use of fertilizers. The tea bushes require frequent appli cation of fertilizer, which has made the soil porous. During heavy rain, these slopes are easily washed away resulting in a landslide
Comparsion of the different types of vegetation in the
Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve between 1849 and 1992
The sholas were used for grazing cattle. The livestock population inside the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve is very low but the population in the periphery is very high. Destruction of the sholas has led to disappearance of perennial streams, causing soil erosion and micro climatic changes. Overgrazing has led to degradation of low and high level grasslands, which harbour a large number of endemic species.
Forest fires
Forest fires are more common in the sholas and dry deciduous forests. They are both accidental as well as deliberate. The annual fire set off during the summer months for a better pasture in the ensuing monsoon is another manmade threat to the biological diversity.
Development and construction activity
Due to developmental activities large areas of forests have been cleared in and around the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve. More human habitation has resulted in largescale road laying that connects even remote forest areas to the nearest urban centre. Construction activities like road building have unleashed widespread landslides and slope destabilization. Construction of the Kabini reservoir has submerged the valley between Nagarhole and Bandipur.
Horticultural and agricultural practices
Extension of agriculture, and use of lands unsuited for agriculture have accelerated soil erosion. Human settlements on the uplands have destroyed the sholas. Soil erosion is severe in the east and southwest areas of the Nilgiris where the monsoons are heavy. In the Mysore plateau region, the extension of irrigation canals from reservoirs has led to a largescale shift in land practices.
The Nilgiris are an important tourist centre in South India, and attract a large number of tourists. A large number of hotels, clubs, resorts, gardens and roads have emerged rapidly,degrading the natural vegetation. Extensive pollution and water scarcity are the result affecting the entire ecology Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve. The Ooty Lake has been ruined accumulating garbage and disposal of sewage into it.
Conservation and management of the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve
Conservation and management of the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve depends on the coordination between government agencies and the local people. For effective management, the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve has been zonalised as
The buffer zone is further divided into manipulation zones like forestry, tourism and recreation zones. These zones are located in all the three states of Tamilnadu, Karnataka and Kerala into which the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve extends. Most of the plantations are seen only in the manipulation zone.
Being one of the hotspots of biodiversity, the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve has some national parks and wildlife sanctuaries within its boundaries. Conservation of wildlife is the main objective of these national parks and wildlife sanctuaries. Some of these areas have been designated by the government as Project Tiger and Project Elephant areas.
Apart from preserving biological and cultural diversity, the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve also provides ecological sustainability to the entire region. Research and monitoring of the management and conservation of the natural wealth of the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve are being carried out by various government institutions and departments. A commitment to conserve this natural treasure house of resources is the need of the hour. This can be achieved only by the participation and co-operation of the local people in the conservation programmes.

Orange White
This saree didn't seem very fascinating when I saw for the first time (got it as a gift). But once I wore it, the look was special. Wore this on my first trip to Attari Border to watch the Flag hoisting ceremony. Suited the occasion.
Felt comfortable and light and this saree was pretty easy to carry. The orange-red border gave nice colors to my white/cream saree.
Thanks hubby for clicking the pic 🙂

Oh I love Wolfie's outfit. It looks like fall and Pepperoni Pizza. Yum . Although I like mega veggies on mine. He realy is ready for Halloween. I like how the lens allows the focus to be on his outfit, skull etc. not his feet and edges. Nice job. The close up of his face and eyes is amazing it captures the wonderful face up job and his gorgeous eyes. I love the green backdrop.

IN THE WAKE of the divisive confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh to be a justice on the Supreme Court, the emerging pre-election Republican catechism has it that conservatives and the Republican base are "energized," "awakened" or (borrowing a phrase that originated with President Obama) "fired up" and ready for the vote 26 days from today.
That renewed sense of the possible is reinforced by new polling that shows the storied "enthusiasm gap" — that ephemeral snapshot of voter passion, rather than voter conviction — has narrowed, with more Republican voters now champing at the bit to go to the polls in November.
But several things complicate that rosy picture for the GOP. The first is that rhetoric from conservative analysts and pundits suggests a course of action that would play out even if Republican voters weren't "energized" about the midterms. As a rule, Republican voters don't stay at home on Election Day. It's one of their defining characteristics.
◊ ◊ ◊
An internal survey conducted in September for the Republican National Committee, and obtained by Bloomberg Businessweek, came to that conclusion: "Republicans don't have a 'base problem.' Those voters who strongly approve of the President and those who support both his policies and leadership style are genuinely passionate about voting in the election and are voting GOP lock, stock and barrel."
Consider the more antecedent research of Karl Rove, Bush 43 senior adviser, writing in 2015 in The Wall Street Journal: "The number of self-identified conservative voters rose to about 45.2 million in 2012 from 30.6 million in 2000. And the number of conservatives voting for the Republican presidential candidate rose to about 37.1 million in 2012 from 25.1 million in 2000."
It's an American political truism: Republican voters show up. GOP voters tend to be older, whiter, wealthier and more traditional by every conventional metric. For them, voting is a civic reflex; not voting is not an option.
◊ ◊ ◊
THAT UNDERCUTS the building narrative of a red wave of apparently undiscovered voters in November. Republican strategists are talking about the same body of voters that presumably wasn't "fired up" before. Those GOP voters were going to show up anyway, "fired up" or not. They always have and probably always will.
So the talk that these newly galvanized conservative voters are somehow separate and distinct from less impassioned voters already planning to vote is to conjure a distinction without a difference. The narrowed "enthusiasm gap" between Dems and Republicans is a hollow measurement because it buys into the idea of there being a difference between one group of Republican voters and another, when in fact it's the same cohort of voters.
party affiliation study the Pew Research Center released last month found that Democrats enjoyed an advantage, by a lot or a little, among independent voters asked to describe which way they "lean."
A similar Pew survey in September 2016 found much the same thing. "Overall, 48% of all registered voters identify as Democrats or lean Democratic compared with 44% who identify as Republican or lean toward the GOP." The Pew report found favorable associations with Democrats and the Democratic cause among women, college graduates, millennials, Gen-Xers, minority voters, Jewish voters, the religiously unaffiliated, and white voters with post-graduate experience.
It's contrarian, to say the least, to assume that this ongoing trend will reverse or mitigate itself for the midterm elections.
◊ ◊ ◊
THIRD: DESPITE how politically inflamed and culturally combustible the Republican base might be, that base isn't growing appreciably in size, not getting bigger or wider in the numbers it needs to sustain itself. Various Republican seers have couched this as an election that's "neck and neck," a characterization that ignores not just the numbers and the politics of the moment, but also the reality of the nation, on the broader scale of the national time.
With every election cycle, midterm or general, the Republicans are doubling down on a population of voters that's shrinking as older voters die and younger voters less committed to (or more alienated from) the Republican agenda drift away — either to join the Democrats or to share the status of independent voters.
The Brookings Institution observed this in June: "A political party that can't attract young people, especially in a generation that is as big as the Millennial generation—America's largest demographic group—is not a party with a very bright future. So although Trump, while focusing on the base, has made the Republican Party his, come November it may not be as much of an advantage."
◊ ◊ ◊
The fourth matter is specific to this election cycle, and may be the most important. The outcome of the Kavanaugh exercise in naked political greed has left women voters raw and righteously angry. It's a safe bet that if rank & file Republicans are energized, vast numbers of women across the demographic spectrum are even more so: dismayed at how their life stories, their collective histories could be so blithely ignored by a Republican president many of them helped to elect, and a Republican congressional leadership they supported by association.
There's not a reason on earth to expect them to forget what's just happened with the Kavanaugh affair. And with a multitude of female candidates (many of them Democrats) mounting serious bids for a variety of offices, including House and Senate, those woman voters have choices now that they didn't have before. They've got the option to vote for candidates that reflect and share their struggles and experiences.
Sure as the sunrise, they'll be exercising that option in droves less than four weeks from today.
◊ ◊ ◊
Disdain for the Republicans isn't gender specific. That same CNN survey finds Democrats of either gender with a 13-point bulge over Republicans in a generic House ballot. And the "enthusiasm gap"? If you believe in it, there's other polling that shows how durably granular, state by state, that disdain has been so far.
Marist Poll for Wisconsin, a battleground for real, "three in four registered voters statewide, including 87% of Democrats and 79% of Republicans, say they consider this year's midterm elections to be very important."
◊ ◊ ◊
IT'S MUCH the same in Nevada. Marist's new (Oct. 10) survey for the state found sentiment that's demographically panoramic in a way that should give Republicans pause. "Voters under the age of 45 (60%), women, (60%), and white voters with a college degree (52%) are among those most likely to say they plan to send a message that more Democrats are needed to balance the power of President Trump."
This election season has had its share of prognosticators debating the likelihood of waves red and blue, but few have the gravitas of Larry Sabato, director of the University of Virginia Center for Politics, and a longtime veteran of many an election. Sabato said it plain this week on MSNBC.
"I think they know that even if the Republicans hold the senate, given the very pro-Republican map that exists, President Trump is in trouble in some of these states," Sabato said. "He's fallen considerably in approval, and the Midwest as a whole seems to be flipping in the midterm year. The states that he carried are getting ready, it appears to either elect Democratic senators or Democratic governors, or both."
◊ ◊ ◊
"Those tariffs seem to be hurting people in the Midwest more than other regions," Sabato said Tuesday. "The Midwesterners may not react as well to some of the things President Trump says and does. ... This also reminds us that 2016 was a choice. It wasn't simply that people decided to vote for Donald Trump in a vacuum. Many of them were voting against Hillary Clinton. Maybe you dispute the premise of it, but essentially it's a two-pronged decision. ...
"If there's ever been an abnormal presidency, we're in it. Trump has violated so many of the rules of politics and so many of the norms of politics, that we hesitate to say, 'well, history shows us that X will happen, therefore it will happen under Trump ...
"But ... a red wave ain't gonna happen. It's just a question of how big the blue wave is. It could be a tsunami, it could be a middle-sized wave, it could be a small wave but there's going to be a blue wave ..."

Translations : Cary Bartsch
Written for people looking for information with meaning, L'Alpe is the first review devoted to the many cultures and heritages of Alpine Europe. Its ambition is to provide information, language barriers not withstanding. As your guide, L'Alpe looks at the people who, from the meandering Danube to the Rhône, have adapted to an exceptional climate. A cross between a book and a magazine, it draws on the first to provide background documents on a main theme, supported by rigorous analysis, an insistence on quality and the notoriety of renown authors. From the second, it adopts a quarterly rhythm for regular contributions to current debates, rich illustrations, the insatiable curiosity of its journalists and a necessarily didactic approach. Though rigorous in its approach to knowledge, L'Alpe is not a scientific journal. It calls on the contributions of history, geography, archaeology, ethnology, etc. to shed light on the meaning of the traces left by man on the mountain environment. And it is also open to current debates on the future of the Alps and other mountains in the world.
Nature is no more
That surprising statement has now been confirmed by a number of important studies in the Alps. The landscapes that we find so natural have in fact been modelled and remodelled by changes in the climate and multi-secular human activities.
Inventing landscape
The ancient Mediterranean and Chinese civilisations greatly appreciated the contemplation and reproduction of landscapes. Lost for centuries, these activities were rediscovered by the West at the end of the Middle Ages and the Alps lie at the heart of that revolution.
Viewpoint : our perception of the world
Sentimentalism lies just under the surface in us all and we need to uproot it. The history of landscape would appear to be a widespread and irresistible rise of blissful mawkishness that only a critical eye, patiently trained, can overcome. Today, everyone loves a beautiful landscape, but there was a time, alas long gone, when such unanimity of sentiment was not the fashion.
Twenty thousand leagues over land
Before « inventing » the regional nature parks in France some forty years ago, 14 grands voyageurs embarked on a world tour. A somewhat crazy adventure that elicited fond memories from one of the participants.
Upside down
Abelardo Morell, this U.S. photograph, born in 1948 in La Habana (Cuba) and today a professor at the Massachusetts College of Art in Boston, pays tribute to the great Leonardo da Vinci using a modified version of the camera obscura described by the Italian artist during the Renaissance.
… from my window
Where am I ? Sleep was tough to come by but, after tossing and turning, scuffling and scrunching under the covers found at the foot of the bare planks, we finally fell off. And on the edge of sleep, the images of the ideal climb came welling up, the rims of the bergschrund, the terrible black dièdre, the pale couloir, white sheets of snow… and the crisp, surging ridge, fringed with streaks of light… and the fore summit…
To contemplate a landscape is to remember
Beyond the col appeared a new expanse, full of mystery, danger and hope. On their way to discover a new part of the world, on the other side of the mountains, our ancestors experienced that precise moment in which the excitement of discovery was tinged with the fear of the unknown. A fundamental experience that certain Alpine landscapes, harsh and savage, call up from the depths of our shared memories.
Balance management
Whether wild or domesticated, a landscape is always an uncertain balance. To maintain that balance, humans must bring to bear their ingenuity… and respect. Through never-ending work, they have shaped the environment to their liking and exploited its riches. But without ever truly negating the imprint of nature.
Whither Alpine geography ?
As much a social as a natural science, geography found in the Alps a choice terrain. Over the past two centuries, the work of the scientists has changed radically, shifting from naturalist and regional studies to a multi-disciplinary approach in which the Alps are today but one aspect among many. The history of this science is presented in an exhibition in Chambéry.
Fabulous view of the Jungfrau
Now domesticated, the Alps and their inhabitants have become the actors of a vast scenario. A show, cleverly organised (over centuries) for tourists in search of something out of the ordinary. Ah, the pristine Alps, a tremendous source of profit (and endless discussions) for years to come.
Better than nature
No more just taking off and having fun. Now, people go back to nature to partake in culture and the hiker must have a serious excuse to simply walk a path. The Parks are now into art and how to teach it. For better or worse ?
Portfolio – Postal(p) art
The menagerie was the theme suggested for all takers. In response, a wild and woolly bunch of animals invaded the offices of L'Alpe this spring. Our postman was amazed. We offer here a selection of the unexpected, colourful drawings, the staid images, the odd objects and the clever collages as a preview to the exhibition for all the artwork during the transhumance festival in Die.
Protected regions in Europe
Today, one quarter of the Alps has been set up as protected zones. National and regional parks, nature reserves and other European programs are all the means to protect wildlife, plants and the landscapes, as well as the people who live there, work there and give life to the regions. A long history spanning a century, complex and occasionally divisive.
Imitation vertigo
Widespread in the Savoy, décor jaspé in ceramic dates from Antiquity. A technique that plays on abstract forms, but never completely severs the ties to reality in that from the beginning, it imitated the delicate veins of rare stones such as agate, onyx and marble.
Décor jaspé in the Savoy
People's fancy for the abstract marbled forms has ensured steady work for the traditional pottery manufacturers for more than two centuries. A situation that the ethnologists have not always fully understood.
Alpine clay
In Vallauris, near the Mediterranean, it was the Ligurian potters, on crossing the mountains as early as the 1400s, who imported their craft and their lifestyle. Décor jaspé decorated the Alpine clay until Picasso arrived to shake things up in the local habits.

Out With The Olds, In With The News
Good morning and Happy Mothers day to all that applies to! I feel like so much has happened/got done over the past 12 hours. In true Food Makes Fun Fuel fashion I'll try to make a gimmicky post with bits of information in there. But I'm loving the responses to my What Would You Do? post. I'm glad no one so far has suggested using the credit card to order a fancy dehydrator 😀 It sounds like a lot of you would have turned it in to the staff, which I would have done, too, except this "gym" is just a bunch of machines in a room and there is no staff–save the management people who clean it during the work week. Anyway, all's well that end's well. Onto the eats!
Out: My history class because right after dinner last night I finished my final paper!!
In: Saturday night movie night. There was nothing on TV last night so I decided to rent a movie from iTunes on an impulse–who am I? I chose Leap Year and got an hour through before my computer started acting up and had to quit(I was running like 5 programs at the time).
In: Saturday night movie night. There was nothing on TV last night so I decided to rent a movie from iTunes on an impulse–who am I? I chose Leap Year and got an hour through before my computer started acting up and had to quit(I was running like 5 programs at the time).
Out: This container of So Delicious Chocolate Peanut Butter Swirl Coconut Milk Ice Cream and the rest of an Endangered Species organic smooth dark chocolate. I'm doing all too good at Project Cleanout.
Out: My object history project because I wrapped up the writing on that last night, too! That was one of the things that was making my computer want to strangle me last night, but it was worth it.
In: Oatmeal will never go out of fashion.
Out: Restless nights caused by loud drinkers/partiers because that was the last Saturday night I'll be sleeping on campus.
In: My sanity. But I was only able to achieve this by eating and unphotographed square of raw vegan chocolate fudge(not to be confused with microwave vegan chocolate fudge)
In: Homemade chocolate almond butter. I am scarfing this down on my way to the gym and YUM.
Out: This coconut milk. It's old and runny and has no flavor anymore.
And now I really must hit the gym before brunch and I have Leap Year and a new Dr. Who on my ipod to watch. I don't normally watch shows on my iPod while running, but Leap Year expires in 10 hours and I always make an exception for Dr. Who. Anyway, Happy Mother's Day!

You'll have to let me know how Leap Year was!
Congrats on being almost done! I hate being woken up by loud people…..grrr
oatmeal is the new black.
Staying out late and drinking is totally OUT for me too. Eating late night ice cream and popcorn while watching Fringe and Amazing Race, totally IN 🙂
Congrats on finishing up your paper!
I'd like to see Leap Year too–let us know how you like it!
