The first series of Luther scared the hell out of me on at least one occasion. I couldn't help but wonder: could it top that? Should it? Well, series two was certainly going to try.
While Alice Morgan (the devilishly delightful Ruth Wilson) sits in a mental hospital, DCI John Luther (Emmy nominee Idris Elba) makes a half-hearted attempt to kill himself. You can't blame him, considering that he lost his wife at the hands of his close friend last series. When that doesn't work, he turns to an awkward friendship with his wife's lover Mark North (Paul McGann) and of course, to his job. There's always somebody wandering down a side street, alone, in the middle of the night, after all. How many crimes would be avoided in television-land if people would stop doing that, I wonder?
Springing his partner Ripley (Warren Brown) from a boring new assignment, Luther joins up with DS Erin Gray (Nikki Amuka-Bird) under the authority of former adversary Warren Schenk (Dermot Crowley) to investigate the murder of a young woman by a guy in a Punch mask. She's only the first of his victims. Simultaneously, Caroline Jones (Kierston Wareing) turns up asking Luther to rescue her daughter from trouble. Just another messed-up, conflicted day at the office.
John Luther lives in a really screwed-up world, and he's suitably dysfunctional to go along with it. Rescuing Caroline's daughter Jenny (Aimee-Ffion Edwards), he's unafraid to literally carry her out over his shoulder. He's prone to doing questionable things, but we don't argue with him, because he's played by Idris Elba. Who wants to argue with a man that imposing? I'd be afraid that he'd just snap me into pieces. But by the same token, I don't think anyone else could play this role besides Elba. John Luther is larger than left, and so the man who plays him is as well, in every aspect. Elba is just as good now as he was before, as if he hasn't missed a beat in his performance.
So much of this first episode of Luther is devoted to catching the audience up on what has happened between the end of series one and now (in fact, the first words of this episode are the same as the last ones spoken at the end of last series), and introducing us to the new characters who'll play a part. That's to be expected and forgiveable, if a tad troubling as this series is only four episodes long, so there's not a lot of time for the show to tell its story. By the conclusion of the episode, though, we're back to old times: ominous shots of dead bodies, oddly framed camera shots, creepy moments where the killer and Luther play a back-and-forth while we bite our nails. Based on this episode, series two seems less graphic than series one – fine by me, as series one was a little too graphic for my taste – but just as disturbing. Less is more, in that sense.
But despite that, there's that cliffhanger: still heart-stopping. I honestly jumped in my seat when I saw who the killer's next intended victim was. Wow.
There's a great scene at the episode's end between Luther and Schenk, where the latter tells the former how he had to fight to get him back on the force, and Luther admits that he's angry (at what? at losing another victim to the killer? at losing his wife? both? does it matter?). We know that he's always one step from having the wheels fall off, as Schenk puts it. Yet would we want anyone else chasing down these criminals? No, we don't. We'd probably be too scared to face them. Luther reminds us that as much as John Luther needs the job to stay sane, we need him to go to the places we'd never dare, and protect us from the things that come out of them.

On behalf of the Embassy of the United Arab Emirates in New Delhi, I have the pleasure to welcome you to the Embassy's website, which has been designed to provide the users an access to the Embassy, and its links with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of UAE and the Government Institutions.
The UAE's political leadership operates within the broad foreign policy framework that was established by the founding President of the Federation, H.H. Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan. This approach emphasizes diplomacy, negotiation and compassion. The UAE is mindful of its commitment to its neighbours and the international community with regard to regional peace, stability and security for all. To achieve these goals, it has purposefully promoted bridges, partnerships and dialogue. Relying on these tools of engagement has allowed the Government to pursue effective, balanced and wide-ranging ties with the international community.
A guiding principle of UAE foreign policy is the belief in the need for justice in international dealings between states, including the necessity of respecting the principle of non-interference in the sovereign affairs of other nations. The UAE is also committed to peaceful resolution of disputes, and backs international institutions to reinforce the rule of international law and implementation of conventions and treaties.
Regional Policies
One of the central features of the UAE's foreign policy has been the development of closer ties with its neighbours in the Arabian Peninsula through the six-member Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). During 2009, developments in Palestine, Iraq, Iran, Yemen, Afghanistan and Pakistan and the initiatives required to deal with them formed the core of UAE dialogue with world leaders.
The UAE is dedicated to peace, security and stability in the Arab region, as well as normalization of relations among all countries, and a just and lasting solution to the Middle East conflict. It believes that peace cannot be achieved while the Israeli occupation of Palestinian and other Arab territories continues. It supports an end to Israeli occupation and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state, with East Jerusalem as its capital, within the context of an agreement based on the Arab Peace Initiative.
The UAE has repeatedly urged international action to freeze the construction of Jewish settlements in the West Bank and Jerusalem in a bid to revive the Middle East peace process. Meanwhile, it has condemned Israeli aggression in Gaza and expressed solidarity with the Palestinians affected by the war.
The UAE has provided over Dh11 billion (US$3bn) in aid to the Palestinians, including development funds for infrastructure, housing, hospital and school projects. In addition, the country donated Dh638.5 million (US$174mn) towards reconstruction in Gaza.
The UAE has been an active supporter of the Iraqi Government and has urged respect for the territorial integrity of Iraq, its sovereignty and independence. The Federation has one of the few functioning Arab embassies and resident ambassador in Baghdad, and has cancelled debts worth about Dh25.69 billion (US$7bn) to support Iraq's reconstruction efforts.
Despite a long-running dispute with Iran on the question of three occupied UAE islands and concerns about Iran's nuclear programme, the UAE has kept open all channels of constructive engagement that could result in a mechanism for confidence-building measures and a peaceful resolution of all outstanding issues.
The Federation continues to contribute constructively to international efforts aimed at stabilizing Afghanistan and supporting its bid to restore security. It provided US$550 million in humanitarian and development assistance between 2002 and 2008 and is the only Arab country performing humanitarian activities on the ground in Afghanistan.
Global Community
Beyond the region itself, the UAE's foreign policy continues to adapt to accommodate evolving changes in the global community. As part of its pragmatic approach, it is building bilateral and multilateral relations with both industrialized and developing countries while strengthening ties with its traditional allies in the West.
An important aspect of the UAE's foreign policy places great emphasis on nurturing an expansion of commercial and investment links with other countries and institutions worldwide. The Federation's fast-developing position as a financial hub for the Middle East region has further solidified and strengthened its position as a member of the global community.
Because Asia weathered the recent economic crisis more successfully than other parts of the world, there were ample indications that some of the major Asian countries would play a more influential role in world politics. Absorbing this shift, and reflecting the desire to further consolidate ties, the UAE leadership continued to develop its relations with a number of Asia countries, including China and India.
One major diplomatic success during 2009, which also reflected its growing international status, came when Abu Dhabi was chosen to host the headquarters of the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA).
The UAE has published a policy document on nuclear energy for civilian, use emphasizing its transparent policies and readiness to abide by all related safety and security measures. Meanwhile, the international Atomic Energy Agency's Board of Governors approved the UAE's ratification of the additional nuclear-inspection measures known as the Additional Protocol, which ensures commitment to the Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty.
Another key area of UAE cooperation has been in the global fight against terrorism, including state-sponsored terror.
Foreign Aid
In spite of the impact of the financial and economic crisis on the region's economics and development projects, the UAE continued its humanitarian, relief and development assistance programmes in many countries. Its efforts in this respect were acknowledged by UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, who praised its humanitarian stance and work in alleviating the sufferings of people in various parts of the world during natural disasters and human conflicts.
Aids is channeled through a number of key organizations, such as the Abu Dhabi Fund for Development which, during 2009, supported projects in Morocco, Burkina Faso, Tanzania, Bangladesh, Palestine, Benin, Yemen, Afghanistan, Sudan, Eritrea and others; the Red Crescent Authority (one of the top ten member organizations of the International Committee of the Red Cross), whose most effective activities include providing drinking water in the countries hit by drought and desertification, equipping hospitals in remote areas of underprivileged countries, and is focused mainly on the education of children in poor countries. In addition, Noor Dubai, an international charitable initiative for the prevention and treatment of blindness and low vision, cooperates with the World Health Organization and the International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness. In recent years, the emphasis has been on humanitarian assistance for those affected by natural disaster or conflict and poverty.
Overall, during the last three-and-a-half decades the UAE has contributed more than Dh255 billion (US$69.4 bn), in loans, grants and assistance is provided on a government-to-government basis, the Federation is also a major contributor to international agencies, having made Dh100 billion (US$27 bn) available through the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank.
The UAE Foreign Aid Coordination Office, set up in collaboration with the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, is a recently established forum that will lead to the Federation becoming more involved in aid a multilateral level, rather than focusing on support through traditional bilateral means.

September 13, 2012 - Asheville, NC
This was my favorite day of the trip as it featured two of my favorite things: (healthy) food and books.
I wanted to visit a well-known independent bookstore in downtown Asheville, Malaprops. One of my favorite authors, Patti Digh, lives in the area and often mentions the store/café. Oh, my goodness, this place is heavenly! They stock a wide selection of books on many subjects, beautifully laid out. Their vegetarian/vegan section was amazing!
The store was so warm & welcoming, I found myself with arms piled high in a short time. The local section was where I did the most damage to my bank account, gathering up several novels for upcoming Yule gifts. I spent so much money (really, only $100, and well worth it) that I was led to a little section of books and told to choose one, or even two, for free! How lovely is that? After doing so, I happily made my way over to the café where Chip was drinking coffee, a free cup given to him as a thank you for his generous purchase. I ordered a Fire Distinguisher which was a delicious spicy latte served in an enormous cup; delicious! Unfortunately I forgot to request soy milk, oops!
I asked the (young, adorable) barista to recommend his favorite vegetarian restaurant in Asheville; without hesitation he led me to Rosetta's Kitchen. With lunch plans in mind, Chip and I headed off to shop a bit more. We were immediately enticed by the incredible aroma trailing from one store, turned out to be a spice/tea shop. Mmm…we made quite a few purchases there as well as at the Native American "bead shop" where a sage kitty offered us a sample. We were able to cross a few more gifts off our holiday list, can't elaborate any further on that or I might ruin someone's surprise!
|Sage Kitty
Shopping is thirsty work, according to Chip, so we meandered into a pub for liquid sustenance. The cutie pie bar maid at Bier Garden served us our beverages and we commenced to chatting about our pets. Her dog, Jinxy, sounds like he'd make a good friend to Loki; maybe we'll arrange a doggy park meeting the next time we visit.
On the way back to the car we passed by the local library, noticed their used book sale and even though we had more than enough reading material to keep us busy, we just had to stop in. Ahem..we left their quite laden down with tomes, limped our way to the car and off to lunch!
Rosetta's Kitchen is an adorable "hole in the wall," would've driven right past if I hadn't been ardently searching for it. The décor is bright & colorful, staff is very friendly and helpful, and the food? Oh, my. I have never been to an all-veg restaurant before so I was practically hyperventilating at the thought! So many choices, all of them available to me; no thinking, planning, asking for substitutions, etc. etc. All I had to specify was vegan and poof! Dozens of options appeared before me! I'd heard great things about their tempeh "wings" so we ordered a serving to share, along with Pad Thai for me, black bean chili and grilled cheese sandwich for Chip. Everything was amazing and, to my surprise, spicy enough even for me!
|Pad Thai, Tempeh "wings" and local brew
We wobbled back to the car and to the motor home, spent the remainder of the afternoon/evening lounging around the campsite, reading and enjoying a nice cozy fire. A perfect day!

How old are you and what do you do?
I was asked the following questions yesterday after teaching a budgeting class:
"How old are you?" and "What do you do for a living?"
From the tone, it was more like – "What qualifies you to teach me about finances?"
I have a question – does age and my full-time career matter? Possibly. However, I believe that what matters most is the answer to this question – "How are you doing financially by using these financial principles?"
If you want to lose a bunch of weight – are you going to seek advice from someone who is really heavy? NO! You are going to speak to someone who has lost a bunch of weight and kept it off.
When I was preparing for my marathon, do you think I sought out persons who were outstanding weight-lifters? NO! I sought out persons who had completed marathons and finished well.
When I sought out financial advice, it was from someone who practices what he teaches – Dave Ramsey. Dave has a set of financial principles that he abides by every single day that simply resonate with Jenn and I. As Dave has stated repeatedly, he did not invent any of these financial principles – they are what God and Grandma say about money. Hard principles like – "save money for a rainy day" and "spend less than you make" and "learn how to tell yourself NO!!"
I also speak to acquaintances and friends who are also doing well financially – not because they earn incredible amounts of money, but because they manage what they do earn very well.
The answers to the questions: I'm 32, I work in manufacturing, and "I Was Broke. Now, I'm Not!"

In the process of making lemonade, you have to go through some lemons. Case in point: This limited supply of BRAND NEW, woven polyethylene billboard signs, available in various sizes. An advertiser swapped their old large-format printers for new ones, and had to complete test after test to make sure the new equipment worked properly. Of course, that demands miles of polyethylene material to print on, none of which can be used as actual billboards, since the prints are not actual advertisements. That means we have literally tons of material available! Now you can repurpose these reclaimed signs as a tarp, drop cloth, sunshade, privacy sheet, weed barrier, boat or RV cover, and much more! Reclaimed, Repurposed and 100% Recyclable; you can't beat that! Read below for more information.
It is a woven polyethylene (LDPE) fabric coated with a UV-resistant layer to minimize fading. The weave allows it to flex in windy conditions and reduces fraying or tearing. It is approximately 6 mil thick (6/1000"), slightly thicker than traditional tarps.
Most of our inventory is unmarked, so we are unsure of exact sizes; however, the most common sizes of billboards are 12'x24', 12'x40', 10'x30', 10'x36' & 14'x48'. Since we do not know the exact sizes, they are sold by weight at $2.49/lb; the heavier the piece of material, the larger it is. One pound of weight equals approximately 30 square feet. They are compactly folded for easy transportation.
It is 100% waterproof and will not promote mold or mildew.
Some have pockets/sleeves along all four sides, but most do not. You can run pipe, cable or rope through the pockets for even distribution. They do not have grommets, but you can add them with a kit from a hardware store. You can also use Grip-Clips, staples, or other industrial clamps.
There is a sample advertisement or print on one side, but the other side is a solid, light grey color. We recommend keeping the advertisement side down, so only the backside is showing. The print is waterproof, and will not bleed.
These reclaimed billboard signs are BRAND NEW and were NEVER INSTALLED! We guarantee they are in perfect condition without holes or tears. We will gladly replace them if you find a hole.
Our Repurpose Lab is located at 36 WEST FAYETTE AVE, UNIT 1, SALT LAKE CITY, UT 84101 (970 South, between Main and West Temple). We are available Monday through Friday, 9am to 6pm.
We prefer cash but also accept debit/check cards, and all major credit cards. Please call about discounts on volume purchases and to ensure inventory. Local sales tax will be applied.
Your creativity is the only limit! Here are some suggestions: Tarp or cover for cars, boats & RVs, underlayment for roofing shingles, weed barrier, ground cover, temporary roof, hay and feed cover, moisture barrier for vegetable gardening, protect farm equipment, machinery & construction materials, drop cloth for painting and home projects, sun shade, camping awning/rain cover, rain water capture! Have a great repurpose idea or application? Send us a picture of your unique or interesting application.
STRONG – Made with a tear-resistant fabric weave
BETTER VALUE – You could pay a higher price for a smaller, less durable tarp, but why would you?
HELP THE ENVIRONMENT – This material would otherwise go to the landfill. Keep our planet greener: Reduce, Reuse, Repurpose!
We are always looking for new, unique, and different materials to reclaim and repurpose from industrial, manufacturing, and commercial businesses. Whether they are used, spent, expired, mistakes, obsolete, byproducts, excess, overstock, trash, factory seconds, blemished, scrap, returns, end of life, cancelled orders, or otherwise unwanted, contact us today to find out what landfill alternatives are available to you!

Caladiums, also known as Angel Wings, are truly a unique-looking plant. It has large, arrowhead-shaped leaves that come in striking combinations of green, red, pink, and white. Caladiums are fantastic houseplants, but they are equally delightful outdoors.
Grow your caladiums in partial shade, where they are an unexpected and welcome burst of season-long color for the garden. However, they are only hardy to USDA Zone 9. In cooler climates, you can grow them as annual plants and bring them indoors for the winter.Continue to 2 of 18 below.
02 of 18
There's no missing the tropical flair of canna plants. It has huge banana-like leaves that can be green, red, striped, or something in between, and flowers in glowing shades of red, yellow, and orange. However, even without the flashy blooms, these plants would be standouts; some gardeners even remove the flower stalks, so that the plant can focus on growing leaves.
Canna plants love water and heat. If you think keeping them watered might become tedious, consider planting them in containers and putting them in a water garden—now you're talking tropical paradise.Continue to 3 of 18 below.
03 of 18
Although Artemisia is in the daisy family, the flowers tend to be insignificant—but the leaves can be as airy and charming as you could wish. Some of the most popular garden Artemisias include mugwort, southernwood, Sweet Annie, tarragon, and the wormwood.
Most Artemisias have silvery-gray foliage that beautifully offsets both pastel flowers and richer tones such as deep mauve, purples, oranges, and blues. They pick up the slightest glint of sunlight in partial shade and light up surrounding plants. If they get a bit untidy in summer, simple shear the old foliage, and new silvery leaves will appear.Continue to 4 of 18 below.

Shade-growing coleus plants were a popular Victorian bedding plant, but it wasn't until a sun-loving coleus was developed that the plant really captured the hearts of gardeners. Now you rarely see a garden without at least one coleus plant. They are also popular in containers and even indoors as houseplants.
Sun coleus come in a rainbow of colors, sometimes all on one plant. Bright, cheerful plants with names such as Big Enchilada, Brilliancy, and Copper Sun hint at what to expect on the coleus aisle. Pinching makes the plants bushier and fuller, with more glorious colorful leaves to enjoy.Continue to 5 of 18 below.
05 of 18
Heuchera (Coral Bells)
The original Coral Bells were a charming plant with ruffled green leaves and airy pink bell-shaped flowers that made it favorite plant of hummingbirds. However, much the way plant breeders went wild developing new Hosta varieties, they have embraced Heucheras and figured out how to give them purple, bronze, and patterned leaves.
Most heuchera plants do best in partial shade, but they will also grow well in the sun if they have sufficient moisture. They form tidy clumps and are perfect for edging borders, planting under taller plants, and for containers.Continue to 6 of 18 below.
06 of 18
Hostas come in shades of green, gold, and blue, as well as a variety of variegated leaves. They prefer partial shade, where the brighter whites and gold reflect the subtle light and enliven the plants around them.
Although known as shade plants, there are several hosta varieties that can be grown in full sun, expanding their value in the garden. There are only a handful of hosta varieties, such as Hosta plantaginea, that have really attractive flowers. Most of the time, the flower stalks are cut off before bloom, allowing the plant to focus on growing their delightful leaves.Continue to 7 of 18 below.
07 of 18
Ornamental Grasses
Ornamental grasses add texture, movement, and sound to your garden, and there are dozens to choose from. Some shine with their flowers or inflorescence, but many, such as blood grass, porcupine grass, and zebra grass, need only their leaf stalks to stand out. You will need to consider height, growth habit, and even season when choosing your ornamental grass to get one that is suitable for your garden.Continue to 8 of 18 below.
08 of 18
Persian Shield (Strobilanthes dyerianus)
The leaves of srobilanthes, or Persian Shield, are almost iridescent. This is a sub-shrub that remains evergreen in hot climates. It is grown as an annual plant in cooler zones or as a houseplant.
If you keep yours as a houseplant in winter, you can easily take cuttings in spring to plant out in the garden. Persian shield can handle full sun, but the iridescence makes them almost glow in partial shade.Continue to 9 of 18 below.
09 of 18
Rex Begonia
As with so many fantastic foliage plants, Rex begonias are tropical plants. That doesn't stop you from growing them both as houseplants and in the garden. The foliage of Rex begonias can be swirled, spotted, or spiraled, thick, ruffled, or winged. They are such intriguing plants that many people collect them.
Unfortunately, Rex begonias can be a little fussy to care for, unless you live in the tropics. It's often easier to grow them in containers, where you have more control over the soil and growing conditions, rather than in the ground.Continue to 10 of 18 below.
10 of 18
New Zealand Flax (Phormium)
New Zealand Flax is a wonderful dramatic accent in the garden. Some varieties can grow well more than 7 feet tall, while others are small enough to be suitable for growing in containers. There is also a wide selection of colors to choose from, including shades of green, yellow, white, pink, and red.
In warmer climates, Phormiums are evergreen perennials. They are predominately grown for their blade-shaped leaves, but the plants also send up a flower stalk with attractive blooms in red or yellow.Continue to 11 of 18 below.
11 of 18
Sweet Potato Vine (Ipomoea Batatas)
The rich colors and deeply lobed leaves of sweet potato vines make it a popular choice for both container plants and ground covers. They are related to the edible sweet potato, but the tuber is not as tasty.
These vines are grown specifically for ornamental foliage, which comes in a wide variety of colors. "Margarita" has bright chartreuse leaves, "Sweet Caroline" or "Sweetheart" has burgundy heart-shaped leaves, and "Tricolor" has green and white variegated leaves that are outlined in pink.Continue to 12 of 18 below.
12 of 18
Plectranthus (Plectranthus argentatus)
Plectranthus is a free-growing, bushy plant that loves damp soil. The leaves are thick and slightly fuzzy, with a ruffled edge that can be variegated white. Most plectranthus are grown strictly for foliage, which is similar to its cousin Swedish ivy. Pinching them back periodically will keep them full and lush. A newer variety Mona Lavender plectranthus, has tall lavender flower stalks that make it a popular container and indoor plant.Continue to 13 of 18 below.
13 of 18
Japanese Painted Fern (Athyrium niponicum)
Many ferns, with their lacy fronds and airy growing habits, are lovely; however, Japanese Painted Fern stands out in the crowd. Plant it in a partially shaded nook, and its silvery leaves will catch every ray of sun that stumbles into the garden. Pictum has reddish-purple stems that make the silvery-green fronds shine even more. "Burgundy Lace" takes it a step further with pink-tinted fronds. These are not large ferns—they grow to be about 12 inches tall—but they are eye-catchers.Continue to 14 of 18 below.
14 of 18
Lamb's Ear (Stachys byzantina)
The soft, fuzzy, gray leaves of lamb's ear plants are known to delight young children who get the chance to rub them, but they are also delightful to gardeners looking for a velvety texture to soften the hard edges of a walkway or for a downy gray color to act as a foil for nearby pastels. Newer cultivars, such as Helen von Stein, have been bred vegetatively. This means they do not bloom, so no deadheading is required to keep them looking great.Continue to 15 of 18 below.
15 of 18
Amaranthus Tricolor
The foliage of amaranthus plants can be so audacious that you will wonder why they even bother blooming. Amaranthus tricolor is a sunburst of yellows and orange. If you think the common tricolor is bold, you should take a look at some of the cultivars, such as Perfecta. These plants will light up your garden on the cloudiest days and for weeks on end. Amaranthus tricolor is an annual plant and easy to start from seed.Continue to 16 of 18 below.
16 of 18
Dusty Miller (Centaurea Cineraria)
Dusty Miller is often grown as an annual plant and used as filler in the garden or in containers, but that really doesn't do it justice. This soft, powdery gray foliage plant is extremely drought-tolerant and forgiving of many tough growing conditions. Its subdued color is an excellent foil for bolder colors, such as hot pink petunias and buttery yellow coreopsis. Look for some of the named varieties, such as Silverado, that stay fresh-looking longer than the species plant.Continue to 17 of 18 below.
17 of 18
Elephant Ears (Colocasia Esculenta)
The imposing size of Elephant Ears adds instant drama to your garden. It has a definite tropical flair and enjoy being grown partially submerged in water. Although it is only hardy to zones 8 and above, Elephant Ears grow quickly from large tubers, which can be stored for the winter to grow again next season.Continue to 18 of 18 below.
18 of 18
Lungwort (Pulmonaria)
Lungwort has stunning flowers in early spring; however, they don't last very long. Luckily the leaves are splattered, or completely washed with silver or white, and remain a welcome sight for the remainder of the growing season. These are short plants that are a bit slow to spread, but they eventually make lovely carpets with glowing flashes of iridescence.

A father in Greenfield, California was recently charged with human trafficking for the sale of his 14 year old daughter for $16,000, 10 cases of beer, and several cases of meat. He lost a daughter but bought himself a party. This truly is no way to parent a 14 year old child or any child for that matter. Read this month's newsletter to find out more details of this bizarre and most unfortunate story at Parenting 101 – Do Not Sell Your Children for Beer, Money, and Meat – A True Story in California.
Children are priceless and should not be treated like the sale of a dog or piece of furniture. Clearly, Florida and all 50 States for that matter make the sale of a child for marriage, sex, or otherwise illegal.

Finding "your people" is hard, period. But it can be even harder when you're a solitude-loving introvert. You may want more friends, but as an adult, where do you go to meet new people? And how do you start a conversation with someone you barely know? Plus, most nights, you'd rather stay home and relax than go out and socialize. Hanging out with people you don't know well can be draining.
Also, as an introvert, you don't want to be friends with just anyone — at least I don't. I'm selective about who I let into my inner circle, because I only have so much social energy to give. I don't think I'm alone in this. Laurie Helgoe, in her book Introvert Power: Why Your Inner Life Is Your Hidden Strength, compares extroverts to hotels and introverts to luxury suites. Extroverts can accommodate a large number of interactions that come and go, while for introverts, bookings are limited.
So, because of your limited social energy, the chatty extrovert who parties every weekend probably won't become your BFF. You're looking for a friend who understands you and respects your introversion. You want someone you truly "click" with.
So what's an introvert to do? Here are eight ideas that may help you find your tribe.
How Introverts Can Make Friends Who 'Get' Them
1. Think about the people you already know.
You don't have to head to the nearest party or networking event to make new friends. Chances are there are already people in your life who you'd like to get to know better. Ask yourself, which of your acquaintances seem interesting? Make it a point to talk to these people more.
2. It's okay to make the first move.
Many introverts (myself included) are guilty of waiting for other people to come to them. We worry about rejection. "What if I ask her to get coffee after class and she says no?" Or worse, "What if he gets to know me better and he doesn't like who I am?" The process of making new friends can fill you with self-doubt. And if you're an introvert who has experienced significant rejection (as many of us have), you may feel so discouraged that you don't even want to try anymore.
In college, I learned a hard lesson about being passive about making friends. When I moved away from home and left my childhood friends behind, I quickly found myself alone and lonely. I looked around and wondered how everyone else had become friends with each other so quickly. It was then that I realized I wasn't making an effort to get to know anyone. I had wrongly assumed that making friends would just happen. But if I wanted new people in my life, I would have to take action.
3. Peel off the mask.
When meeting new people, you may feel like you have to appeal to everyone and get every new person to like you. This is especially true of the INFJ, INFP, and ISFJ personality types. But this is like walking up an escalator moving downwards — it's a lot of work but it won't get you to where you want to be. It's also draining. Molly Owens of Truity explains:
"Too often you show only those parts of yourself that you think the other person wants to see, so that person will like you. Keeping up this facade is exhausting. Chances are, it will make you question why you are in a friendship in the first place, when it is clearly burning up all your energy."
(What's your personality type? Take a free personality assessment.)
So when you've found people you want to connect with, be brave and show them who you really are. Say what you really think and feel, even if you think they'll disagree (of course, do this tactfully). When you peel off the mask, you make yourself vulnerable — and this is how true connection and intimacy are created.
4. Ask questions.
Introverts have a super power: listening. When you meet someone new, you'll have to talk about yourself a little. But don't make the conversation all about you. Ask the other person questions about themselves. What are they doing this weekend? What's new in their life? If they could have any career they wanted, what would it be? Use your powerful listening skills to learn about your new friend and make them feel like their thoughts and opinions matter.
5. Notice how you feel.
Do you feel energized after hanging out with your new friend? Or are you so exhausted that you want to hide in your bedroom for days? As an introvert, it's normal to feel tired after spending time with someone new (after all, peeling off the mask takes precious energy). But overall, your new friend should make you feel good. Unfortunately, this isn't always the case. Adam S. McHugh in Introverts in the Church explains:
"Because introverts are typically good listeners and, at least, have the appearance of calmness, we are attractive to emotionally needy people. Introverts, gratified that other people are initiating with them, can easily get caught in these exhausting and unsatisfying relationships."
If someone takes advantage of your listening skills or is simply a drain to be around, give yourself permission to back away from them. As an introvert, you don't need another source of exhaustion in your life.
6. Remember that the awkwardness will go away with time.
Introverts tend to keep their best stuff inside — their quirky, fun personalities — and only let their true selves out once they feel comfortable around someone. If being with your new friend is somewhat awkward at first, don't beat yourself up. The more you hang out with them, the more comfortable you'll feel. Keep at it.
7. Plan a regularly scheduled meet-up.
Ask your new friend (and maybe a few others) to hang out once a week. Have brunch every Saturday morning or get a drink after work every Thursday. Having a standing friend date means you don't have to exert energy to plan something. Plus, routine tends to make us introverts feel more comfortable because then we know what to expect.
8. Go slowly.
Owens writes, "Genuine friendships take a long time to develop. If you bow to convention and start collecting groupies, you will end up with a bunch of shallow, unsatisfying relationships that collapse because they never had a solid foundation."
Finally, remember that introverts prefer quality over quantity — especially when it comes to relationships. Making one solid friend who "gets" you is worth more than an entourage of shallow connections.

Production Monitoring Ecosystem
Key challenges and pain points:
Even when an application is stable, there are millions of lines written to the log. If an exception is thrown and we want to find it, we have to sift through the log in hopes of finding the specific issue we've encountered. Some problems are very hard to debug even if you have logs, and on some occasions they might not be debuggable at all. We needed something that could help us debug in production.
Example problem that OverOps helped resolve:
We had updated configurations through an ExecutorService and realized those changes were not picked up. Since there's no logging for uncaught exceptions, there was no way to know that the ExecutorService was failing, and no way we would have been able to detect that though logs. However, OverOps catches all uncaught exceptions, so it showed us where the issue happened and gave us the complete variables across the call stack. Instead of guesswork, we diagnosed the problem quickly and fixed it right away.
What is the "secret sauce" that made you choose OverOps?
There's only some information you can fit inside a log line, and it gives a narrow view of what's going on inside the application. With OverOps we have all of the information we need, including the complete source code and variable state, across the entire call stack.
Thanks to OverOps, our errors and exceptions gained meaning and we were able to find and fix them rapidly.
How are you integrating OverOps with your daily workflow?
We have a weekly debugging session, to clean up errors inside the application.

Fear of pregnant women?
Post: #1
Fear of pregnant women?
I know this makes me sound like an asshole. I get it. But I hate pregnant women. Im usually very dedicated to overcoming fears, Ill do just about anything to get rid of them because I hate the feeling of not being in control of myself and my emotions. But I cant seem to kick this overwhelming disgust and anxiety I feel with pregnant women. All I can think of when I see them is that there is a parasite living inside of them, sucking up their life force. It immediately activates my gag reflex. Ive never actually vomited because of a pregnant woman, but Ive come dangerously close. I cant even look at diagrams of them without feeling dizzy and nauseated. The weird thing is that I don't have a problem with regular parasites, like tapeworms. Theyre grossly fascinating to me. I just can't handle fetuses. The problem is that my best friend wants kids SO bad. I love her to death and I dont want to lose her as a friend, but I absolutely cant deal with that or be around her when she decides to be pregnant. I feel like Id have an easier time dealing with this if I had a name for it, or other people to relate to. I know of tokophobia, but I dont think that necessarily applies to me because Im a guy. I cant stand kids too, so maybe thats related, but it's a completely different response (mostly just annoyance and anxiety, I'm autistic and they're too loud, unpredictable, and rambunctious for me). Anyone have any insight?

RE: Fear of pregnant women?
I have not heard about this kind of fear. See a psychologist, they can better diagnose the problem

Investing in a mattress is a major decision, both financially and for what it means to your health and well-being. When you do find that perfect mattress, it's important to do everything you can to keep it in top shape and get the longest possible life out of it. To help with that, here are a few suggestions on getting the most out of your mattress:
• Add a mattress pad. It's entirely possible your comfort preferences have evolved since you purchased your mattress. But if it still happens to be structurally sound, there's no reason to waste the money replacing it. To get the comfort you want from a mattress that offers the support you need, adding a foam bedding mattress topper can add comfort and years of life to a mattress you would otherwise replace.
• Be gentle. Because of its soft, springy feel, it's hard to resist the urge to use your bed as a relaxation or play area with the kids or pets. Even with a thick mattress pad, it's important to remember that a bed's only purpose should be to provide a great night's sleep. Using it in any other way can cause it to prematurely wear down, especially if used roughly. Roughhousing can tear foam, break springs, and puncture air and water-filled mattresses.
• Keep it dry. Nobody would intentionally pour water on their bed or leave the window open during a rainstorm, but given all we have to do on a daily basis, accidents can happen. When a mattress gets wet, it is very hard to completely dry, which can lead to mold and mildew growing in the mattress. It's a good idea to use water resistant mattress covers and adhere to a personal rule about no eating or drinking rule in bed, just in case of a spill. Many companies will not honor a warranty on a stained or water damaged mattress even it's only a surface flaw and it fails structurally, so it's important to keep it in returnable condition.

Bengals defensive tackle Andrew Billings underwent surgery on his right knee on Monday, Paul Dehner of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports. He was taken off on a cart during Wednesday's practice against the Vikings.
Reports indicate the surgery revealed a torn meniscus and expectations are he's out indefinitely and could miss the entire season, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.
The Bengals were waiting for the surgery to gain a clearer view of the extent of the damage.
Billings, the fourth-round pick out of Baylor, expected to provide depth as a run stopper in the back of the defensive line room. Fortunately for the Bengals, they are already deep at the position.

Daniel W. Hynes (born July 20, 1968) is an American politician, formerly the Illinois Comptroller. He currently works in client services and marketing for Ariel Investments in Chicago.
Hynes was born in Chicago. He attended St. Ignatius College Prep in Chicago, where he graduated in 1986. Hynes later attended the University of Notre Dame, where he graduated magna cum laude in 1990 with a Bachelor of Science degree in economics and computer applications. He received his Juris Doctor degree with honors from Loyola University Chicago's School of Law in 1993. Daniel Hynes served as a health care attorney at the Chicago law firm of Hogan, Marren and McCahill, Ltd.
He is the son of Thomas Hynes, a former Cook County assessor, president of the Illinois Senate and Democratic Ward committeeman of the 19th ward in Chicago, Illinois.
Hynes married Christina Kerger, M.D. in June 1999 and currently resides in the city of Chicago.
As Illinois Comptroller
Hynes was first elected Illinois Comptroller on November 3, 1998 at the age of 30. At the time, he was the youngest elected statewide constitutional officer in Illinois, since William Stratton was elected Treasurer of Illinois in 1942. Since first entering office in 1999, he was the first Comptroller to establish a "Rainy Day Fund" for Illinois as a way to secure funding for the state whenever there is a slowdown in revenue. Hynes also spearheaded bipartisan reform of laws governing the state's private cemeteries and funeral homes (which his office regulates) in 2001, the most extensive overhaul of these industries in 25 years.
Dan Hynes has sponsored new legislation that prohibited tax scofflaws from receiving state contracts. He also introduced legislation in 2003, that would do the same to corporations that have falsified their financial reports. Among his other measures as Comptroller, was to reform the Local Government Division of his office, increasing the percentage of compliance from Illinois's local government units in financial reporting from 65 to 95 percent. Hynes also expanded the office's commercial direct deposit program, encouraging state vendors to receive payments electronically, which saves taxpayer money and improves efficiency. Daniel Hynes was elected to a second term as Comptroller on November 5, 2002, with a margin of more than one million votes. He was elected to a third term in 2006 by a similarly large margin.
U.S. Senate campaign
This section requires expansion. (June 2008)
In 2004 Hynes was an unsuccessful candidate in the Democratic primary election for his party's nomination for the United States Senate, finishing second to State Senator Barack Obama, who went on to win the general election in November.
In September 2006, in an open letter published in the Chicago Sun-Times, Hynes endorsed drafting Obama into the 2008 presidential race.[2] Hynes spoke on the first day of the 2008 Democratic National Convention in Denver, Colorado, lauding Obama.
2010 campaign for Illinois governor
Hynes challenged Governor Pat Quinn for the Democratic nomination for Governor of Illinois, formally announcing his campaign on September 2, 2009.[3][4] His campaign received the endorsement of former United States Senator Adlai E. Stevenson III.[5] His newspaper endorsements included the Daily Herald,[6] Kane County Chronicle,[7] Northwest Herald, South Suburban News,[8] Peoria Journal Star,[9] The News-Gazette (Champaign-Urbana),[10] The State Journal-Register (Springfield),[11] and the Southtown Star.[12]
After a close vote, on February 4, 2010, Dan Hynes conceded to Governor Quinn and pledged his support to Quinn in the general election.[13]
After politics
After leaving the Illinois Comptroller's office, Hynes joined Fort Myers, Florida-based Foster & Foster Actuaries & Consultants.[14]
On January 19, 2012, it was reported that Hynes would be joining Ariel Investments, the politically connected Chicago investment management firm, as a senior vice president to aid in client services, marketing and business development.[15]

Hello readers,
In search of one wooden salad bowl, I roamed around whole town today, but no luck :-( came home with very tired feet and light headache. So quickly had my masala tea and thought of cooking. I like to cook our dinner early, so as soon as kids come home they can have a proper meal and get on with their school work. Did not want to cook anything very fancy, just one sabji, salad and roti. Wanted to make potato sabji, cooks very quick in pressure cooker. As soon as I started heat oil to make vaghar for potatoes, I saw my masala dabba and it was lacking one ingredient...that was mustard seeds, but oil was hot and I didn't wanted to run to my pantry to get out more mustard seeds,just in time I spotted a bottle of Panch Phoran !! I thought why don't I just add panch phoran, beacause it contains mustard seeds any way.
- Red Chili Powder
- Cumin seeds
- Mustard seeds
- Cumin seeds and Corinader seeds Powder
- Turmeric Powder
- Garam Masala powder
- Asafoetida ( hing )
Dinner was ready and when kids and hubby started their meal, they all came with one word "Superb", hubby started asking me about it and I explained it to him..he said he wants this sabji on our regular menu and asked me why don't I put it on my blog too ? So, just before I had my dinner I quickly took pics of this sabji, was getting dark outside too, so couldn't take good pics, but let me tell you taste was brilliant and it was lovely aromatic sabji...
You will need:-
- 500 g potaoes peeled and cubed
- 150 g plum tomatoes crushed ( you can use fresh too )
- 2 tsp green chillies and ginger finely chopped
- 7-8 curry leaves
- 2-3 tbsp oil
- 1 tsp Panch Phoran ( easily available from asian shops or if you want to make at home please see my recipe )
- Salt to taste
- Pinch of asafoetida ( hing )
- 1 tsp sugar ( optional )
- 1 tsp red chilli powder
- 1/2 tsp tumeric powder
- 2 tsp cumin and coriander powder
- 1/4 tsp garam masala
- Handful of fresh chopped coriander leaves
- 11/2 cup water
Heat oil in a heavybottom pan or kadai.
Add panch phoran and hing,when they begin to crackle add curry leaves and chopped chillies and ginger.
Fry them just for few seconds, add crushed tomatoes. Lower the heat.
Now add all the masala powder with salt and sugar and cook the tomatoes till oil rises to the top.
Add potato pieces and stir well. Add 1 cup water, mix well and cover the lid and cook poatoes on a moderate heat for 15-20 minutes (stir occasionally ) or till well cooked and gravy thickens. If you think there is not much water left and potatoes are not fully cooked, add little more water. I made mine in pressure cooker with 2 whistles. Garnish with fresh chopped coriander leaves and serve hot with rice, roti or Naan bread.

I can't even begin to list the many reasons why these are such a handy tool. I've had them bedside for the last few evenings so that I can study before I fall asleep. Since they're laminated, I'll be able to use a Clorox wipe on them once they've made their first trip to the barn.
The thing I like most about them is that all three tests for each level are together in one handy place. With all three tests from the same level right next to one another, it's easy to flip through them to see how the level of difficulty increases from one test to the next.
I bought my copies from VTO Saddlery for $28.99 which included $4.99 for shipping.
These are some pictures of the inside of the Introductory and Training Level test booklets. Click picture for a larger view.

Online "wikizine" company Zimbio has raised a $6.8 million first round led by Menlo Ventures, with Draper Richards participating, according to Venture Wire (via VentureBeat). The Redwood City, Calif. company provides the technology and network for the creation of community-produced interactive magazines. Zimbio claimed 6 million-plus uniques in Julky based on Google (NSDQ: GOOG) Analytics.
Update: This is an odd situation … Zimbio did raise this round but it was last year. The company can't figure out why it's been picked up now and neither can we. We regret not having the news then but we're glad to be able to add it to our database now.

Great Indian food. Buffet is a good way to try new dishes.
this place makes the best (alas, the only, but it is excellent) indian food in town. they do a lot of canadian food too (pizza, etc) but the butter chicken, saag paneer, chana masala...yum.
now, if only cornwall could open a sushi restaurant, there'd be no need to leave town.

Food good but upgrade the restaurant look lol. Great breakfast and Indian food
Delicious Indian food. Great breakfast. Every visit back to Cornwall demands a run to family corner for dinner or take out. The staff is lovely too. So polite and friendly. Sometimes the dishes and cups are mismatched but eh! Who cares?? Adds to the homey/kitschy appeal of the place. I mean, after all, it is called "Family Corner". :)
As the other reviewer says, the interior is a bit "nonspecific American family restaurant," but there's a great Indian chef in the kitchen, with a diverse menu. We had fantastic pakoras and samosas. The aloo gobi is rich and complex, the naan light and puffy.
While it might not be as regionally or culturally specific as you'd find in a large Indian neighbourhood of a big city, the... more

The majority of New Yorkers who bike or walk regularly would admit to feeling unsafe from time to time on city streets. Many feel unsafe every day, but feel powerless and unable to avoid their dangerous daily commute.
As a personal injury law firm, we serve as a resource for those who have been injured in pedestrian knockdowns and cycling crashes. But what if you haven't been hurt, yet are fearful you will be due to dangerous conditions throughout the city? There are organizations working to prevent injuries, like the Transportation Alternative, that you may want to check out.
Transportation Alternatives' mission is to reclaim New York City's streets from the automobile and advocate for better bicycling, walking, and public transit for all New Yorkers.
With 100,000 active supporters and a committee of activists working locally in every borough, TransAlt fights for the installation of infrastructure improvements that reduce speeding and traffic crashes, save lives and improve everyday transportation for all New Yorkers. –Transportation Alternative
The organization's website contains links which allow you to request improvements on your street and in your community (such as reduced speed limits, protected bike lanes, infrastructure updates to help senior pedestrian visibility, speed bumps, speed cameras, and so on). While there's no guarantee the requests will be carried out, voicing your concerns is an important first step in affecting change.
Every day our attorneys work with individuals whose lives have been changed forever in preventable incidents. We work hard to get our clients the compensation they deserve, but the majority of our clients would tell all the money in the world wouldn't make up for the lasting physical and emotional effects of a crash. We hope that you'll never need our services, and urge you to support groups like the Transportation Alternative, whose important work keeps us all a bit safer.

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
Disease definition
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a nonneoplastic pulmonary disease that is characterized by the formation of scar tissue within the lungs in the absence of any known cause.
ORPHA:2032Classification level: Disorder
IPF is a rare disease that affects approximately 5 million people worldwide. The prevalence is estimated to be slightly higher in men (1/5000) than in women (1/7700).
Clinical description
The mean age at presentation is 66 years. IPF initially manifests with symptoms of exercise-induced breathlessness and dry coughing. Auscultation of the lungs reveals early inspiratory crackles, predominantly located in the lower posterior lung zones. Clubbing is found in approximately 50% of IPF patients. Cor pulmonale develops in association with end-stage disease and classic signs of right heart failure may be present.
The etiology is not yet completely understood. Environmental factors may be associated with IPF (cigarette smoking, exposure to silica and livestock).
Diagnostic methods
IPF is recognized on high-resolution computed tomography by peripheral, subpleural lower lobe reticular opacities in association with subpleural honeycomb changes. IPF is associated with a pathological lesion known as usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP). The UIP pattern consists of normal lung alternating with patches of dense fibrosis, taking the form of collagen sheets. The diagnosis of IPF requires correlation of the clinical setting with radiographic images and a lung biopsy. In the absence of lung biopsy, the diagnosis of IPF can be made by defined clinical criteria that have been published in guidelines endorsed by several professional societies.
Differential diagnosis
Differential diagnosis includes other idiopathic interstitial pneumonias, connective tissue diseases (systemic sclerosis, polymyositis, rheumatoid arthritis), forme fruste of autoimmune disorders, chronic hypersensitivity pneumonitis (see these terms) and other environmental (sometimes occupational) exposures.
Management and treatment
Medical therapy is ineffective in the treatment of IPF. New molecular therapeutic targets have been identified and several clinical trials are investigating the efficacy of novel medications. Meanwhile, pulmonary transplantation remains a viable option for patients with IPF. However, IPF is typically progressive and leads to significant disability.
The median survival is 2 to 5 years from the time of diagnosis.
