Curtis Wade Caldwell, Denver chef, Renaissance fair aficionado and renowned hula-hooper, died Jan. 26 at the age of 33.
He was born March 14, 1979, in Fredericksburg, Va., and grew up in Westmoreland County, Va. As a child, Caldwell performed magic shows, acted in church dramas and played flute in the Washington & Lee High School band.
"He was just a lovely little boy," said his mother, Annie Caldwell of Kremlin, Va. "He had his own little magic set, and he would perform shows for people. He did pretty good in school too. I'm very proud of him. He's been a special child, and I've never had a minute's problem with him."
After high school graduation, he performed at Renaissance fairs in Kansas City, Mo., and Apache Junction, Ariz.
Showing an early aptitude for cooking, Caldwell said, her son "was always making something in the kitchen."
He earned an associate's degree at Johnson and Wales University in Denver and started working at Vesta Dipping Grill in 2008, where he was a sous chef and creator of the restaurant's chocolate-peanut-butter cup topped with sea salt.
"In his own quiet way, he managed to touch people throughout the restaurant and the community," said Josh Wolkon, owner of Vesta.
Although he loved to entertain with hula-hoop dances and magic tricks, Caldwell didn't seek the spotlight, said his best friend and former partner, Adam McClain.
"He was very subtle. He was this amazing chef, but he wasn't one of those guys that would try to outshine everybody," said McClain, who met Caldwell at Johnson and Wales.
His current partner, Joe Davis, agreed. "He liked to entertain other people. He wasn't doing it for him; he was doing it for everyone else," he said.
Caldwell represented Vesta in the "Eat Greener Denver" movement, volunteered as an advocate for Denver B-Cycle and taught children's cooking classes at Dream Big Day Camp.
Caldwell fell ill one week before his death, complaining of a sore throat. The pain turned out to be an infection that caused his throat to close and made it impossible to breathe. During the week he spent unconscious in the hospital, he had about 200 visitors, estimated Davis.
"The staff at Denver Health said they had never seen so many people come to visit a patient," Davis said. "The entire restaurant community came to visit him."
His funeral is planned for 11 a.m. Friday at Welch Funeral Home in Warsaw, Va.
In addition to his mother and Davis, survivors include his father, Charles Caldwell, grandmother Iva Howell, stepbrother Casey Caldwell, and several aunts and uncles, all of Westmoreland County, Va.

Windee dog chews
Posted by Unknown on 17th Jul 2014
My dogs love these. I love these. As directed, I always use under supervision. I wanted something 100% USA made. Tried other items, these are the best. They only smell when you first open the package. You can hear the dogs chewing them. I like this so I know what's going on without have to watch them every second. They don't turn into mush, break into little non choking pieces and non digested pieces come out other end of dog.
Great dog gift.
I highly recommend.
Big pug went crazy.
Posted by Unknown on 30th Dec 2013
My 30 lb. pug "Bob" loved the windpipe. He chewed on the longer one for at least an hour. Looked at me every once in a while with a loving thank you in his eyes. After he had it nice and gooey on the end he dropped it and pug no. 2 took up the challenge. Then my little girl pug worked it over for a while. Guess that tells the story.
A good quality chew for healthy joints
Posted by Unknown on 11th Nov 2013
These windees are a very good choice for a chew. They not only keep your pet happy and entertained but they provide great added benefits to there hips and joints.
Windee chews
Posted by Unknown on 31st Oct 2013
These are great treats that are raised, processed and packaged in the good old USA very important with the recalls. Crunchy, smell is minimal.
Next they don't get mushy, become a little stick my dogs can choke on or a size or shape I have to worry about my dogs choking. They break into little pieces my dogs also enjoy eating. Have never switched to anything else.
Posted by Melissa on 13th Aug 2013
Windees are my new love Tasha's most favorite treat! She is *thrilled* when I bring one out for her, and she works hard chewing it up until it's gone! It's definitely a noisy endeavor, though - Tasha sometimes has one while at work with me, and my boss asks "what IS that!?" again and again! But it's 100% worth it!
long lasting but noisy treat
Posted by Unknown on 31st Dec 2012
My dogs love these Windees, they take awhile to finish and the price is great. They are noisy, however; all the crunching reverberates through the tube.

JERUSALEM, TEXAS (Brazoria County). Jerusalem is north of Farm Road 2611 sixteen miles southwest of Angleton in southwestern Brazoria County. In 1896 it had a one-teacher school with seventy-two black students. The 1936 county highway map showed the school and scattered dwellings at the townsite; a 1972 map showed a school, a church, and a cemetery there. In 2000 county highway maps showed the cemetery.

Dr. Miroslawa Witalis's Ratings
Doctor Witalis has saved the sanity of my entire family: depression, anxiety, digestive problems had all been going on for years and through dozens of other treatments. With supplements, injections, and excellent specific dietary advice, my family is now enjoying life again. Dr. Witalis is direct and clear and I very much enjoy that. I was getting tired of doctors who were 'politically correct' yet not effective and not connected. Dr.Witalis cares deeply for her patients and is extremely knowledgeable about illnesses and treatment modalities. I highly recommend her.

Dr. Witalis is an outstanding physician. She has been very thorough to find the root of my illness and equally successful in her treatment of it. Without any doubt, Dr. Witalis has changed my life. I am deeply grateful to her; thank you!

she put me on a ton of supplements, did $ testing but it was her horrible bedside manner that made me feel worse after seeing her than when I walked in that caused me to cease treatment with her. She told me Americans are just stupid....and she treats you like you are stupid. No heart.

I went to Dr. Witalis for a variety of ailments no other doctor could dignose or treat without medication. She has made a huge difference in my quality of life and I have recommended her to all my friends and family. She is extremely knowlegeable and caring.

I found Dr. Witalis extremely knowledgeable and very effective in easing my pain, renewing my energy levels, and promoting my general health. I was not suffering from a single dire ailment, but in caring for my dying husband I found myself very depressed and severely depleted in energy. In one specific area, she was able to reduce my mildly high blood pressure. I am very grateful for her treatments and supplements, and continue to see her for maintaining my general health. I recommend her highly.

Pillitteri Estates Winery is proud to produce one of nature's most exquisite gifts -- Icewine. Harvest of the Icewine grapes occurs when temperatures have reached -8*C or colder. When pressed,these hand picked, naturally frozen grapes yield a juice with an intense concentration of sugars, acids, flavours and aromas.
The yield, however, is far lower than for most wines, requiring ten times more grapes per bottle. The resulting wine is high in natural sugar, low in alcohol, has an amazing acidity level, and is intensely sweet and flavourful. Pillitteri Icewine is a unique tasting experience with flavours that can range from honeyed peach and apricot to more tropical fruit like mangos. Pillitteri Estates, takes great pride in producing Icewine within the strict VQA standards -- a recognition of the highest level of quality attainable. Pillitteri Estates Icewine has been recognized at wine competitions throughout the world, earning some of the most prestigious awards in the industry.
Icewine - one of the world's most luscious and celebrated wines - is one of the most difficult and challenging. The extreme weather for harvest, the brutal force required for juice extraction and the rigors of fermentation are in complete contrast to the soft, luscious, intense, soothing feel the wine evokes on you once on the palate. The long, extensive finish of Icewine is simply heavenly. One would have to wonder what originally inspired man to press frozen grapes for wine. The simple idea of it seems preposterous but all we can do is say "thanks" and then, enjoy"
The transformation of the grapes while hanging on the vine awaiting their winter harvest date is nothing short of magical. As the grapes slowly evolve from a simple green to a beautiful golden colour, the flavour becomes much more "golden" as well since the flavour intensifies, the complexity increases and the quality escalates. It is a process that only Mother Nature can accomplish in her own special way.

Cosworth Intake Manifold - Ford Focus Duratec 2.0L/2.3L 2003-2011SKU: FSKK3240
Cosworth has designed a complete new intake manifold from cast aluminum to increase the airflow when compared to the original equipment plastic manifold. The Cosworth cast alloy intake manifold kit is comprised of the manifold and associated fittings and hardware. Also provided with the Cosworth manifold are new o-rings insuring a complete seal between manifold to cylinder head joint.
Designed primarily for front drive applications, the Cosworth Intake Manifold has been engineered for maximum air flow while maintaining strong, low rpm torque and can be used for custom and turbocharged applications.
The main benefit of the Cosworth intake manifold is the higher flow rate over the stock manifold. This manifold was designed for naturally aspirated engines, but works extremely well with turbocharged applications, also.
To properly function, the Cosworth intake manifold will require custom ECU programming. Please give us a call for details and prices for this service.
Fitment Notice: Model year 2005.5 - 2011 with the power steering reservoir near the front of the vehicle or directly on the pump will require modifications to the Cosworth Intake Manifold.

Nearly 90 Tourism, Cultural Heritage, Conservation, and National Parks Groups Fight House Attack on National Monuments
|March 25, 2014
|Kati Schmidt, Senior Media Relations Manager, National Parks Conservation Association: 415.728.0840; Mobile: 415.847.1768
Nearly 90 Tourism, Cultural Heritage, Conservation, and National Parks Groups Fight House Attack on National Monuments
Organizations Call on House Leadership to Oppose HR 1459
Washington, DC – Fighting back against legislation that stands to dismantle presidential use of the Antiquities Act to designate new national park sites and other protected public lands, the Cesar Chavez Foundation, National Parks Conservation Association, National Tour Association, and nearly 90 organizations sent a letter to House leadership today, expressing disapproval. The legislation, HR 1459, Ensuring Public Involvement in the Creation of National Monuments Act or "EPIC," is scheduled for a House vote this week.
"Since President Teddy Roosevelt, nearly every President – Republican and Democratic — has designated national monuments, including the Grand Canyon, Statue of Liberty, and Olympic National Park. These are places families vacation, recreate, and reflect on our shared, diverse history," said Craig Obey, Senior Vice President for Government Affairs for the National Parks Conservation Association. "Nine of the 14 national park sites that were reopened with state donations during the shutdown due to their economic importance were originally designated as monuments under the Antiquities Act."
Under a provision of the bill, the president could not have used the Antiquities Act to establish Cesar E. Chavez National Monument, as the bill limits the number of monument designations made in a state during a Presidential term; the BLM-Managed Fort Ord National Monument was designated before the Chavez monument was established.
"The Chavez family, the Cesar Chavez Foundation and the farm worker movement are deeply concerned over legislation to limit the President's ability to create new national monuments," said Paul Chavez, President of the Cesar Chavez Foundation. "In October of 2012, President Obama proclaimed before 7,000 people the National Chavez Center at La Paz in Keene, California as the Cesar E. Chavez National Monument. Now the story of my father, Cesar Chavez, and the contributions of thousands of Latinos, immigrants and others who joined La Causa over the decades is being shared with all of America through the National Park Service. "Any proposal to prohibit or restrict the president's authority to bestow the honor of a new National Park site to commemorate important American figures and movements that strengthened our democracy should be opposed."
"From the National Park Service's recently completed American Latino theme study and other in-progress studies surrounding diverse American populations, it is clear that holes in our National Park System still exist – we need to seize opportunities to enhance our park system, to tell a more diverse story about American history," said Obey. "One year ago today, President Obama answered the calls that came from years of widespread support by local community leaders and elected officials, yet inaction from Congress, when he made in-roads to diversifying our National Park System by designating the Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad, Charles Young Buffalo Soldiers, and First State National Monuments."
In addition to providing unforgettable vacation experiences, our national monuments and National Park System sites are incredible economic generators. A recently released economic report found that with every dollar invested in the National Park System generated roughly $10 in economic benefits. National parks support nearly a quarter million jobs annually and $26.5 billion in economic activity.
Since it became law in 1906, nearly every President, regardless of political affiliation, has used the Antiquities Act. With the exception of the Organic Act of 1916 which created our National Park Service, arguably no law has had more influence over the development of the modern National Park System and other public lands than the Antiquities Act.

Ignorance of Scripture is Ignorance of Christ - St. Jerome
The Catholic Church has always venerated the divine Scriptures, and teaches that "Sacred Scripture is the speech of God as it is put down in writing under the breath of the Holy Spirit." She also, "forcefully and specifically exhorts all the Christian faithful to learn 'the surpassing knowledge of Jesus Christ' (Phil. 3.8) by frequent reading of the divine Scriptures. 'Ignorance of the Scriptures is ignorance of Christ.'" (From the Dogmatic Constitution on Divine Revelation, nos. 9, 21, and 25)

Some key points in today's passage: The idea of "sacrifice" is still very much an important aspect of our Christian faith; Our entire person—body and soul—is our personal share in the daily sacrifice of the Body of Christ; "what we do in the body" daily, as St. Paul say elsewhere, is how we "suffer with […]

Aquarium Pumps & Aquarium Powerheads
Useful Links:
Article on Pumps & Powerheads (bottom of page)
Aquarium Powerheads
Aquarium Pumps
This section includes just the aquarium powerheads. We define a
as a pump that moves water inside an aquarium. An aquarium
has an inlet/outlet and attaches to hose. However, there are some pumps/powerheads in this section that can also be used an a pump. They're in this section because they're submersible and have a front cover grill/foam that covers the inlet.
This section includes just the aquarium pumps. We define an aquarium pump as one with an inlet and outlet that can be attached to a hose in order to connect to bulkhead fittings, overflow boxes, filters, chillers, uv sterilizers, chillers, etc. We also have a section with aquarium powerheads, which are generally just used for the movement of water inside the tank. Some pumps are also submersible and those pumps we've included in the Aquarium Powerhead section as well as this section.
Pond Pumps
Aquarium Pump/Powerhead Replacement Parts
We're mostly an aquarium products company, but we have a few pond pumps. Do not use these pumps with salt water.
Along with the usual breakable/wearable parts, impellers and impeller shafts, we carry volutes, covers, o-rings, pre-filters and more for the various pumps and powerheads we sell.
We highly recommend using a wavemaker. The wave motion eliminates "dead zones" in the tank and improves overall tank health.
Choosing a Main System Aquarium Water Pump
The critical choices when choosing a pump are:
Powerhead or pump
. A power head is submersible pump and a pump is an external pump. Some pumps, such as the Pondmaster pumps can be used submersed or externally.
. All of our pumps list the diameters of the input and outlets. You always want to use a pump with an outlet diameter that is equal to or less than the diameter of the hose and all other fittings before the water is returned to the tank or sump. For example, if you use 3/4" hose with a pump with a 1" output, you will severely restrict the flow of the pump.
Flow rate
. All of our pumps have the flow rate listed in gph (gallons per hour). The flow rate will be affected by the amount of head pressure. Consult the
Head Pressure and Pump Performance
section below for information on determining how much head pressure you will have. Once you've determined the head pressure, you can use the performance charts listed for most of pumps to determine how much output in gph you will have.
Pump Desired Flow Rate
The optimum tank "turnover rate" is approximately 6 to 7 times per hour for saltwater fish-only tanks, 10 to 12 times per hour for saltwater reef tanks and 4 to 5 times for freshwater tanks. For example, the pumps on a 50 gallon reef tank should be a total of 500 to 600 gph (after head pressure is taken into account). When determining which pumps you needs to achieve your desired flow rate you should include all the pumps in your system. This includes the powerheads in the tank and any pumps running power filters and canister filters. Although your protein skimmer pump may have significant flow, since protein skimmers have a great deal of head pressure you will not get much flow from your protein skimmer pump.
To determine how much flow you will get from any given pump, you can calculate the head pressure (the calculation is provided below) and refer to the performance charts provided for most pumps. To see an example of how head pressure effects gph view the
Performance Chart for the Rio Aqua Pumps
. Head pressure is listed as "MAX. HEAD".
Head Pressure and Pump Performance
As the head pressure increases the gph will decrease. Use the following guide to determine the amount of head pressure in your application in order to determine how much flow you will get from any pump.
Each 90-degree bend in the plumbing will add about one foot of head due to friction. Each 45-degree bend will add 1/2 foot head pressure. This includes any bends in filters, chillers and uv sterilizers.
As a result of friction, each 10-foot horizontal run of pipe will add a foot of head pressure.
In an open system (a system using a sump), each foot of vertical distance from the intake of the pump to the return into the aquarium will add one foot of head pressure. The vertical distance in a closed system does not affect head pressure. A closed system is one where the pump draws water directly from the aquarium and returns water directly to the aquarium.
Using the example of the
Performance Chart for the Rio Aqua Pumps
, if the distance from the inlet of the aquarium pump to the discharge point in the display tank were five feet and there were two 90 degree bends in the plumbing and five feet of horizontal pipe, then the head pressure would be approx. 7.5 feet.
As seen in the Rio Aqua Pumps chart, there is a limit to the head an aquarium pump can handle. With the Rio 600 when the head feet reaches 4, the gph is reduced to zero. Most of our pumps have listed the head height where the Shut Off point is reached.
Note: We have not included any info for how much head pressure there is when you restrict the flow by using hose or return fittings with a smaller diameter than the pump outlet. This depends on the size of the pump outlet and the amount of restriction. In general, it increases head pressure a great deal and is not advisable.
Pump Redundancy
You'll be better off with two or more smaller pumps than one large pump. Having at least some water turnover is critical to the survival of any aquarium, and if you have more than one pump when a pump fails you will not need to desperately locate a replacement pump. An aquarium can completely crash within eight hours if there is no water turnover because pumps are critical to aeration. An air pump will keep an aquarium aerated--you may want to have a battery operated air pump
on hand to keep your aquarium operational during power outages.
We are often asked if a particular pump is noisy. In general, pump noise is a function of the output of the pump and how the pump is hooked up. Most pump noise is caused by the pump vibration causing attached hard surfaces to vibrate, and by friction as the water travels from the pump. To reduce pump noise you will want to do the following:
Put the pump on a padded surface to absorb the pump vibration
Use flexible hose
Use as few plumbing pieces as possible
When connecting an external pump to a sump, use flexible hose to connect the sump bulkhead to the pump inlet
Do not restrict the inlet of a pump by using a plumbing fitting with a smaller diameter than the pump inlet. This will cause cavitation as well as a great deal of noise
Even if you follow all the bullet-pointed advice listed above, you will still have some pump noise. With smaller pumps this will not be very noticeable, but with bigger pumps it can be irritating in a quiet environment.
"The best advice I can offer is this: Even if you are on a tight budget, do not scrimp on the pump. This is the most important component of the system, and its failure can spell disaster."

|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|September 2005
|Study Completion Date:
|July 2007
An increasing prevalence of Type 2 Diabetes is associated with the aging population, a significant rise in the prevalence of obesity, and a sedentary lifestyle. In Canada, 4.9-7.0% over the age of 12 and 17% over the age of 64 are estimated to have diabetes, 90-95% of which will be Type 2. Strong evidence supports the importance of physical activity in the management of Type 2 Diabetes. However, current literature lacks clear understanding of best strategies for physical activity behaviour change in this target population. Existing studies employ resource intensive, one-to-one individual and clinically-based approaches with limited theoretical grounding for recommended health behaviour change. Most fail to offer practical, sustainable, economically viable solutions, with documented long-term intervention efficacy. The call to move beyond the clinical focus by including theoretically population-based and "real-life" approaches for the management Type 2 Diabetes remains largely unheeded. The three interventions are: (1) standard print-based physical activity educational materials provided by the Canadian Diabetes Association (CDA); (2) CDA materials + pedometers and a log book + theoretical stage-matched print-based physical activity materials; and, (3) the same as intervention 2 with the addition of a 12-month physical activity telephone counseling protocol.

CAIRO – In an attempt to bridge cultural gaps and promote a better understanding about their faith, Muslim students in the Canadian city of Regina are touring public schools to talk about Islam and the Islamic culture.
"My parents are actually pretty happy about it," Muslim student Abdul Rehman told CBC News on Tuesday, March 5.
"They're really encouraging me to do it because it helps people to understand Muslim people in general."
Muslims Vital to Canada Fabric
Arts, Culture Connect Canada Muslims
Canada Muslims Moderate, Diverse: Study
Canada Honors Blind Muslim Sisters
Muslim students from Regina Huda School are visiting public schools in the city to raise awareness about their faith.
They answer questions by public school students about Islam and Muslim traditions as wearing hijab.
Other questions include why Muslims don't eat pork and why Muslims don't date.
"I've been in public schools where a guy asks Muslim girls to go out and the girl will say no," student Saria Jabbar said.
"The guys ... don't understand it's a cultural thing."
Regina, the capital of Saskatchewan province, has a community of between 3,000 to 5,000 Muslims.
Muslims make around 2.8 percent of Canada's 32.8 million population, and Islam is the number one non-Christian faith in the country.
A recent report from the Washington-based Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life said that Muslims are expected to make up 6.6% of Canada's total population in 2030.
Islam Awareness
Teachers have also hailed the Muslim effort for helping them have a better understanding of Islam.
"Teachers definitely have questions as well," said teacher Barb Hilts-Most, who works with immigrant and refugee kids at Arcola School, an elementary school in Regina's public system.
"We all want to meet our students' needs and we all want to know as much about our students as we can."
Canadian Muslims have launched several initiatives to dispel myths about their religion.
In September, Canadian Muslims organized a festival, Muslimfest, to connect with the broader community through the language of art, humor, and meaningful entertainment.
Muslims have also championed campaigns to fight domestic violence and promote women's rights.
Last month, Canadian Senator Salma Ataullahjan praised the Muslim community as part and parcel of Canadian society, hailing Muslim contributions to serve their country.
"Initiatives such as these demonstrate that the Muslim community is a vital part of the fabric of Canada and should be recognized as such," she told a fund-raising dinner at the Sayeda Khadija Center this week.
"Your efforts contribute to building our community and this great nation."A recent survey showed that the overwhelming majority of Muslims are proud to be Canadian, and that they are more educated than the general population.

Comparison of Intralase and Visumax Femtosecond Laser for Laser In Situ Keratomileusis
Recruitment status was Recruiting

- How to Read a Study Record
Emtosecond lasers are used in cutting the flap in LASIK procedures (laser corrective surgery for refractive error). Their use has decreased the incidence of serious complications when compared to the use of microkeratomes(mechanical blades). The commonest femtosecond laser currently used is 'Intralase'. A newer femtosecond laser 'Visumax' (Zeiss) is now available and differs from the Intralase in that it does not interfere with the curvature of the cornea when creating the flap. The Intralase applanates the cornea flat during flap creation which causes the intraocular pressure to be higher. Both Intralase and Visumax lasers are available to patients and surgeons to use at SNEC. The aim of the investigators study is to compare the two lasers in a randomization of left and right eyes in the same patient. The investigators want to measure any difference that the lower intraocular pressure may have during the creation of the flap. This will be measured with a questionaire on patient experience during the procedure and the outcomes of vision, refraction, contrast sensitivity, wave-front analysis, tear function,corneal sensation and flap thickness measured with anterior segment OCT during the post-operative follow up period. To date no-one has compared the use of these two femtosecond lasers. Both lasers are currently used clinically for flap creation at SNEC.

Want to See Krugman Debate a Libertarian?
Nobel Prize winner and stimulus spending booster Paul Krugman is being called out by the libertarians at the Ludwig von Mises Institute. They want Krugman to defend his Keynesian policy prescriptions in a debate with von Mises fellow Robert Murphy. Murphy espouses the Austrian school perspective that sees easy money and stimulus spending as obstacles to economic growth. The von Mises Institute has come up with a clever ploy: They've promised to donate $100,000 to the Fresh Food Program of FoodBankNYC.org if Krugman debates Murphy. How could a good liberal deprive a food bank of $100,000?
The group has started a campaign on the Web site The Point to raise the funds. Folks can pledge to the campaign, but they don't have to pay anything unless the debate actually happens.
Murphy has produced an animated video explaining the challenge. Some good libertarian self-parody there.
If you need a primer on the debate between the Austrians and the Keynesians, see the recent mini-documentaries produced by EconStories.tv (you probably know them as the makers of the Hayek v. Keynes rap video Fear the Boom and Bust).

AAP Chief Arvind Kejariwal is traitor (GADDAR) of India and he is helping Pakistan for handover of Kashmir.
Kejriwal must spell out how he will contribute to his cause of trying to keep the nation's eye on his message. If he wins, since he himself has projected AAP winning around 100 seats and whichever party comes to power will not be stable, he will be an opposition leader. Will he be a responsible opposition leader by bringing in changes to the laws that can be changed or continue his attitude of proclaiming that whatever he feels is the right law and create chaos as he did in Delhi. If he loses, it appears he will definitely continue the same dharna drama which is not good for the country. Considering this, can we say he will win even by losing, though he might win the race.
AK being said as traitor is absurd. Those who say that is an illiterate.
Kejriwal teach not only India but also world, yes he win
Although AK has done much good by exposing the destruction of the country by the polito-bureaucracy gangs, he still has to have a credible and consistent plan, and a comprehensible 2-5 year vision which is connected and hangs together. People may be left confused without it. His appeal of anti-corruption may fail, if people believe that NaMo will clean up the BJP and the bureaucracy and run the country well.
Bad people like Hitler and modi never succeed in long run
Bad people like modi and hitler never suceed
Kejriwal is a nonsense from top to bottom, Start , till today. I have never seen any sensible comment from him so far. Today an atheist guy like him is dipping in Varanasi water. Hired so many volunteers from other cities for the rally.
Things may swing either way.....mighty shd fall..
Kejrival is a transparent politician,Having more guts compare to Modi, Even Modi doesn't have the guts to file and even say a single statement against Mukesh Ambani nor Rahul Gandhi.
They are shaking hands with ram vilas Paswan,not giving tickets to their founder leaders.., just want +272,
whatever the leadership quality one have, first thing is Honesty, Transparency,Truthfulness,
Both BJP and congress is giving tickets to their loved one's and who are wealthy.., People's participation in democracy is upto voting only. Just vote and Handover the country to BJP and Congress ans stay outside of it..,and just blame.
aam admi party is just opposite of it..!!
so in my opinion its far better than all others...,it should win.
Kejriwal = nautanki
Kejriwal will defnetly win
Kejriwal = Fresh Air
Modi= Rotten egg
Cong= I dont want to comment, Rotten Party
To Viv, What sensible comments you heard from Mr. Modi. Some nonsense comments from Presidential candidate Modi are
*Main chaiwala hoon" then how come you have helicopter and other assets. Can you buy all those things by selling tea.
* Rahul is talking like he from planet Mars. That means Modi has talked people of Mars. He should know there is no intelligent life on Mars.
*Calling Mr. Arvind Kejriwal a Pakistan agent and AK49 ... is non-sense. He is just trying to divert peoples attention
On the other hand Mr. Kejriwal is True Patriot, devoting his life for people of India.
kejriwal winn
kejriwal sir win
FIRST Mr Kejriwal Has to prove himself ......... History of Kejriwal says he saw every where corruption nd shout when he joined Mother Terasa foundation He saw corruption & left .........If some one speak only that time its tells He is FED up ........& FED UP people only destroy him nd nation
Modi is also not pure but in current condition he is only option bcoz he can give stable government
Just read this social media report on PM Candidates in the elections.... As it looks like, Kejriwal has the highest sentiment however Modi still ranks better than him due to mainly his reach...
Reference: http://sociota.net/report/184
kejriwal ki jamanat japt ho jayegi modi ke saamne
modi wil loose
I hope Kejriwal wins, but it depends on the maturity of people of Varanasi. Fingers crossed. Most interesting election in history of elections with close to a billion voters chipping in with their 2 cents each.
I am NaMo. I killed more than 3,000 innocent women and children between Ayodhya and Godhra, circa 2002. Since then, to get a clean chit I also killed a few more witnesses and "insects" so that SIT and SC can dance the way I want them too. Please do not be shocked. I learned it all from Jagdish Tyler of Congress, my guru. On how to kill unchecked, and build out a successful career by absconding from jail and selling kool-aid called 'development' to people who stood last in the queue when Almighty was offering brains.
Kejriwal has to win....
Arvind Kejriwal - Sonia Gandhi's agent will be wiped out in election soon.

The incidence of bed bug infestation is increasing in the United States, though they're still quite rare in comparison to other structural pests. Becoming familiar with bed bugs can help to avoid infestation, or at least prompt earlier intervention by a professional.Very few people have ever experienced bed bugs. Until recently, they were very rarely treated by pest control professionals. The insects were actually quite common in our nation prior to World War II. After that time, the widespread use of synthetic insecticides such as DDT eliminated much of their populations. Improvements in household and personal cleanliness, as well as the increased regulation of the used furniture market, also reduced their numbers. Recently, though, they have started making a major comeback. The possible causes behind the resurgence include an increased amount of travel among nations and immigration. Modern pest controls have changed, and the use of less effective bed bug pesticides has also contributed to the recurrence. Adult bed bugs are reddish-brown in color and roughly 1⁄4 to 1⁄3 inch in length. They are flat and can crawl into tight areas such as cracks and crevices. They have beak-like, piercing, sucking mouthparts. Female bed bugs lay eggs on the cracks and crevices of beds or on rough surfaces. The insects reach maturity in anywhere from 20 to 120 days, depending on the temperatures and food availability. The insects can live for several months without food. Bed bugs are nocturnal feeders, feeding on hosts in the dark. They hide during the day in window and door frames, electrical boxes, floor cracks, baseboards, furniture and under the tack board of wall-to-wall carpeting. People who are bitten by bed bugs develop small welts and severe itching. The bugs do not transmit diseases. An infestation is characterized by blood stains from crushed bugs or by rusty spots of excrement on sheets and mattresses, bed clothes and walls. Sometimes, in heavy infestations, an offensive, sweet, musty odor from their scent glands may be present. Bed bugs present a real challenge to control because they hide in many small places. Inspections and treatments must be very thorough. It's necessary to hire a licensed pest control professional to do the treatments to eliminate the infestations. Experienced professionals know where to look for bed bugs and possess many management tools at their disposal. Doing chemical controls on your own can often disperse the insects and could actually make matters worse. The best way to control bed bugs is prevention. Do not pick up furniture items discarded at dumps and on roadsides, especially beds and couches - they may be infested. If bed bugs are suspected at one particular location, do not bring items from that place into your home. Concerned travelers may want to check their bed for telltale signs of the bugs by examining the bed sheets and upper and lower seams of the mattress. If the insects or evidence of them are detected, request another room. Elevate suitcases off the floor (on a luggage stand, for example) to keep any bed bugs from getting into the luggage. Inspecting or vacuuming luggage upon arriving home is less useful, since it is hard to detect bed bugs inside a suitcase. Timothy Daly is an agricultural and natural resource agent with the Gwinnett County Extension Service. He can be reached at 678-377-4010 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

DON STEVENS BLOG: A CHARACTER BUILDING WEEKENDBlogs | 10/24/2011 8:41:16 PM | Don Stevens
It was a tough weekend, but a fun one to watch. Disappointments, yes. High points, yes.
Unfortunately, that doesn't happen. The best teams in the history of the league have lost games. We know that because the Amerks have been the spoiler and beaten some of those great teams.

On the anniversary of his brother's death, troubled architect Jack O'Brien (Penn) ponders his place in the universe, leading inevitably to powerful memories of his turbulent '50s childhood in Waco, Texas - in particular, his formative relationship with his ethereal mother (Chastain) and disciplinarian father (Pitt).
There is simply nothing like it out there: profound, idiosyncratic, complex, sincere and magical; a confirmation that cinema can aspire to art.

Bristol Palin Gets BIO Reality Series
According to BIO, the show will follow Palin as she moves from Alaska to Los Angeles with her baby Tripp. She goes to work at a small charity and moves in with fellow 'Dancing With the Stars' contestant Kyle Massey and his brother Christopher.
"Bristol is the kind of personality BIO is drawn to," David McKillop, executive vice president of programming, A&E Network and BIO Channel, said in a statement. "Her personal life has been playing out in the media for several years but this will be the first time she's opening up her real life, with her son and her friends the Massey Brothers."
The project is currently untitled.
Bristol Palin shot to fame after her teenage pregnancy made headlines during her mother's vice presidential run.
Palin has previously appeared on 'Sarah Palin's Alaska' and was a finalist along with her reality show castmate Kyle Massey in 'Dancing With the Stars.'
Last July, rumors about a potential Palin and Levi Johnston reality show swirled when the couple briefly reconciled. Those never came to fruition and Palin joined 'Dancing With the Stars.' She has a memoir, 'Not Afraid of Life,' in the works.
Tell us: Will you watch Bristol Palin's new reality show?

#64 (July 1987)
Love all the Fred 7/Cobra Island pages. Love how we learn more about the mystery of Pit III through the pov of Chuckles and Psyche-Out - very fun. But the sour point of this issue is that we get 5 pages on a blah action sequence with SE and friends that really has no consequence to anything later in the arc. These 5 pages would have been so much better spent showing us more of Stalker and the others in the gulag. I still love this issue, but because of these 5 wasted pages it's easy to put #64 below most of the other issues for this week.
#65 (August 1987)
A step down from the other issues this week, but I still like it. Joes in space isn't my favorite plot, but I do like the action here good enough. It's fun to see Scrap-Iron manning the missiles on the Cobra craft, making use of his specialties and it's also fun to see Sci-Fi on a mission that makes sense for him to be on. It's a shame though that Flash wasn't brought back for this one. Also being a laser trooper it would have made more sense for him to be along for the ride instead of Roadblock. It's also good to see FRed 7 get to shine a little, using his mechanical genius abilities right when Cobra needed them.
My ranking for this week:
1) #61
3) #63
4) #62
6) #64
7) #65

For level testing I would recommend you use either ZDoom or PRBoom in software mode. They seem to be the best non-GL BOOM-compatible Windows ports for map testing, as I've come to realize. For ZDoom, I would recommend the 1.22 stable version (obvious reasons).

It's always funny when people complain about features they don't like, which are easily disabled. That's not only for ZDoom but also other ports.
Jon said:
Actually thats my problem- you can't disable them fully, at least in the last version I used (which is of course what I have the problem with). It did disable the use of particles in ACS etc. but not on rocket trails.

|Bulletin Number:
|Date Issued:
|Date Last Updated:
|Bulletin Name:
|Fringe Benefit and Indirect Cost Assessments: Fiscal Year 2012-13
The purpose of this bulletin is to:
State Fiscal Year 2012-13 Rates:
|Federal Funds
|The Division of the Budget has also provided OSC with agency-specific federal indirect cost rates that will be used to produce the NYAR0260 – FBIC Invoice. The indirect cost rates are contained on the invoices and/or may be obtained by contacting your agency budget examiner.
|Required Reports
Agency AP users have been granted access to the Accounts Receivable and General Ledger modules under the SFS Financials menu to allow them to run the NYAR0260 (FBIC Invoice) and the NYGL0442 (FBIC Ledger) reports for their agency. The NYAR0260 displays all of the FBIC invoice detail by fund of a specific GLBU (customer) during a specific time period. The NYGL0442 displays the invoice IDs, billed amounts, paid amounts, any credit/re-bill adjustments and the outstanding amount due by fund for each GLBU (customer) through a specified time period. Each report is located within the Report sub menu of the respective module. Any discrepancies with payments appearing on the report can be reported to the Bureau of State Accounting Operations (BSAO) - Revenue Accounting Section at one of the contact numbers below.
To run the NYAR0260, navigate to Accounts Receivable > Report > FBIC Invoice. If a run control already exists, navigate to Find an Existing Value. If no run control exists, navigate to Add a New Value, create a Run Control and Save.
When running the report,
The NYAR0260 can be viewed in Report Manager once the report run status is "Success".
To run the NYGL0442, navigate to General Ledger > General Reports > FBIC Analysis Report. If a run control already exists, navigate to Find an Existing Value. If no run control exists, navigate to Add a New Value, create a Run Control and Save.
When running the report,
The NYGL0442 can be viewed in Report Manager once the report run status is "Success".
|Voucher Processing
All Fringe Benefit and Indirect Cost payments are made through the Accounts Payable module using a regular voucher. This regular voucher is created via the billing process within the Accounts Receivable module. This regular voucher must be used as it contains the correct invoice amount.
|Full Payment
All state agencies are required to pay the full amount shown on the invoice. The Fringe Benefit and Indirect Costs shown on the quarterly FBIC Invoices (NYAR0260) are calculated using the rates provided in the table above. Payments at less than the full rate require specific legislation, regulation or an approved waiver from the Division of the Budget. OSC cannot issue waivers. In some cases, federal grants allow greater Indirect Cost recoveries than billed on the NYAR0260. When this occurs, agencies must use account code 32208 (Reimbursements – All Other) with statewide product code 300085 (Indirect Cost Recovery) for that portion of the indirect cost payment that exceeds the assessed amount.
Partial Payment
Once a Fringe Benefit and Indirect Cost bill is received, if an agency is unable to process the full amount, a request for a credit/re-bill may be made by sending an email to email@example.com with the following information:
If a credit/re-bill is approved, agencies are required to submit the original FB voucher as well as the credit voucher at the same time for approval and posting. Any of the re-bills can be submitted as they are completed by the agency. To avoid possible budget exceptions it is advised that the original voucher and credit vouchers be submitted and posted before submitting a re-bill voucher.
Payment Procedures
Please see Job Aid #JAA-AP205-002 Interagency Payments for instructions on handling payments among and between future and Phase 1 agencies.

UPDATE: Using Raven's SEO Tools, you can now report on rankings using authorized data from Google Webmaster Tools and Bing Webmaster Tools.
You make business decisions every day. So do I.
It's the most difficult decisions that define a business. Abandoning your comfort zone for the sake of growth and stability. Going with your gut even though you know it will cost you money in the short term.
This month, I've had to make the most difficult business decision about Raven since we created the software.
It means letting go of a tool we've offered for seven years.
It means removing data that our customers rely on us to provide.
Above all, it means preparing for a future that my Raven co-founders and I strongly believe is coming to this industry.
Raven has decided to remove unauthorized Google data from our platform. As of 5 p.m. PST (GMT-8) on Jan. 2, 2013, we will no longer offer Google rankings and are eliminating our SERP Tracker tool in its entirety. Also, we will remove all data provided to us by SEMRush. You have until then to include any of that data in your reports.
According to the Google AdWords API team, these actions by this deadline will bring our software into compliance with the AdWords API Terms of Service; as a result, Raven will continue to offer AdWords tools with data directly from the AdWords API well into the future.
Raven's co-founders — myself, Jon Henshaw and Scott Holdren — know this change will create hardships for some of our customers. We wish we had more time to make this transition, but that was not in our control. Raven worked hard to make sure you could run reports for all of your data through the end of the year.
We have gathered step-by-step instructions, FAQs and additional information you'll need to know about this transition into one place. That's also where you'll find a public forum for reactions, comments and conversation.
Why we've made this decision
Raven integrates more than 15 sources of data for a variety of online marketing methods, from SEO and PPC to social and content.
For many years, Raven has operated with data we received directly from Google and data about Google scraped by third parties. It's a common model for software companies in the Internet marketing industry. It's partly stable, partly risky—but more or less comfortable.
That's not an option going forward. Software companies and their customers will have to choose if they want authorized Google data or scraped Google data.
After much reflection, built on years of experience, Raven has come to the conclusion that the future of scraped Google data is one of diminishing returns. As a private, profitable company planning a long-term future, it was time for us to choose stability over risk for ourselves and our customers.
We want to be a platform for SEO, social media, PPC, content and related analytics. And we want to be a platform with the most reliable, accurate data that we can provide so that our customers can report to their clients with confidence. That's why I made this choice.
Google AdWords prompted immediate action
On Nov. 2, 2012, Raven submitted its application for Google AdWords' annual audit. If you pass the audit, you can continue to access the AdWords API. If you fail, you lose access. It's an audit we've passed two years running, and we didn't anticipate any problems.
On Nov. 5, the AdWords team emailed to tell us Raven had failed the audit and our access to the AdWords API would be revoked in 7 days. We replied immediately to ask for details and more time to make any necessary changes.
On Nov. 8, the AdWords team replied and said we had 7 additional days before our access was revoked to present a plan about how we would comply with the AdWords Terms of Service. They were specific:
"In order to be in compliance with the AdWords API Terms and Conditions please cease offering any product or product feature that collects scraped data or uses scraped data acquired from another source (this includes the functionality offered under website and keyword research in your tool)."
We received that email on a Friday evening.
It was clear what it would take to pass the audit. We had to choose: authorized AdWords data or scraped Google data of any kind. Over that weekend, my partners and I started to think through options.
On Monday, Nov. 12, we emailed the AdWords team to say we wanted to remove Google scraped data. We asked for four months—until March—to execute a plan of action, and we asked to keep our AdWords API access during that time. We didn't know when we would hear back or if they would approve our plan.
On Tuesday, Nov. 13, working under the assumption they would revoke access within days, we turned off Raven's AdWords research, management and reporting tools and contacted our customers.
Then, for the next two weeks, we explored scenarios while waiting to hear about our plan. Could we keep scraped Google data and live without AdWords API access? Possibly. If we removed scraped Google data from the SERP Tracker, would that tool in its current form have any value? Probably not. Could we allow customers to import Google rankings to the SERP Tracker and still be in compliance with the terms of service? No.
On Monday, Nov. 26—right after the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday weekend—the AdWords team replied. They approved our plan, stipulating only a timing change. We couldn't have four months to be in compliance, but we could have 30 days. After another email exchange, the AdWords team granted us an extension to Jan. 3, 2013, to execute our plan and pass the AdWords API access audit.
On Wednesday, Nov. 28, we turned our AdWords research, management and reporting tools back on in Raven.
We appreciate the additional time that the AdWords team allowed us so that we could communicate with our customers. That way, our customers could compile reports through the end of the year, and they could do it with all of their data.
Why scraped data isn't worth it
In the case of scraped Google ranking data, we were paying a lot of money to get these things in return:
- Unreliable results. It's impossible to be 100% accurate with scraped Google rankings because geography, personalization, server timing and types of results influence SERPs for each searcher.
- Inflated expectations. Most customers expected 100% accuracy regardless of geography, personalization, server timing and types of results. Any variance from what they saw when they (or their clients) performed a search caused confusion. Adding rank editing did not alleviate the problem as much as we hoped. What's more, recently we've had more requests than ever for daily, universal and local results.
- High risk. Using scraped Google data violates Google's terms of service. It doesn't matter whether we provided scraped data for rankings, research or really boring Friday night entertainment.
- An unpredictable future. This metric, though deemed essential by some SEOs, would only continue to diminish in relevance as campaign performance metrics replaced it in importance.
As an experienced businessman, I'd rather provide tools and data that prove ROI, conversions and goals, not simple rankings.
What we predict about the industry
Raven wasn't singled out during this AdWords audit. We know that two of our third-party data providers have lost AdWords API access at some point in the past two years. Google seems to be universally enforcing its terms of service regarding scraped Google data, which it has every right to do as a business.
If this enforcement continues—and I believe it will—then every software company will have to make the same choice as Raven: either you comply with Google's requests or you don't. Every SEO tool provider will have to choose between a very risky future (unauthorized, scraped data) or a less risky future (authorized API data).
Regardless, it will be impossible for any software company to provide scraped Google ranking data and authorized AdWords API data.
And what happens when Google realizes that it's not just its editorial content that's being scraped, its money-making advertising data is being scraped, then sold as authorized data, too?
Raven's plans
We love what we do. We want to provide the kinds of efficient, essential tools for Internet marketers that prompt them to write, "If you're thinking about getting Raven, do it. It's one of the best decisions that I have ever made. It has been part of our business tripling in the past year alone."
The convergence of content, SEO, social, advertising, email and other marketing methods into single agency offerings is already happening and will accelerate. What's more, traditional marketers—ad agencies, public relations firms and the like—are in the game now. We're building our platform with that future in mind.
