Expensive, but this is going to be a major destination in Washington. $13 got me a pastrami sandwich (no mixing of meats, so no combo pastrami/corned beef). A gorgeous, smoky sandwich, a bit too salty which is why I prefer a combo to straight up pastrami. Bread is excellent.
Also got a side order of the kasha varnishkas. It is a Mediterranean preparation with a tomatoey and spicy sauce with olives. Excellent.
And just for the purpose of research, also got the noodle kugel for dessert. Too expensive, but excellent as well.
This is more 'deli as a culinary treat' than a regular occasion for me. But a great treat nonetheless.
I believe they take reservations, which I predict will be necessary for dinner before long.

What is "data center security"?

When two persons are talking about "data center security" - with a very high probability we can assume – they most often think about different areas. Why? Because "data center security" is a very wide term behind which we can hide many issues. As usual, the good idea is to divide the whole subject into smaller domains of closely related issues, then we can start talking again. Surely, another good idea is also to learn by observation – how market leaders approach to "data center security"? Here we have Google's example.
Before we will watch the movie, let's make some conclusions – what do you think when you hear "data center security" term? When someone from upper management asks "is our data center secure?" – do you think about data center facility and its perimeter in sense of physical security, including procedures, policies, regulations and all related systems like CCTV (Closed Circuit Television), access control, fire detection and prevention, BMS (Building Management System), security guards etc.? Or, maybe you think about data protection issues, especially cryptography, secure communication channels, data-loss prevention, backup schedules, advanced Intrusion Detection/Prevention Systems, including regulations related to the way how data storage devices are decommissioned (storage media destruction)? Otherwise, you can also think about operational security of your data center, having in mind redundant diesel power generators, advanced cooling and sophisticated UPS systems, as well as ANSI/TIA-942 or Uptime Institute Tier levels and overall reliability of critical infrastructure, including BCP/DRP (Business Continuity Planing and Disaster Recovery Planning) issues, redundant telecommunication links, data synchronization between data centers (primary, secondary… hot, warm, cold sites) etc.
As we can see, there are many ideas what "data center security" can be. Moreover, we can be quite mature in one domain, where another can need immediate improvement. Therefore, next time we are asked "is our data center secure?", we should rather wait with actual answer and try to precise this question by asking additionally: "are we talking about physical security (1), protection of the data (2) or reliability of operations (3)?" – especially, if we cannot just say: "yes, it is".
Now, we can watch the movie on Google's approach to data center security – to learn by observation and have some more inspiration in the area of "data center security". Have a nice time.
If we need business explanation for the importance of "is our data center secure?" question – nothing simpler. Our customers benefit from the fact we're doing our best to secure their data, hence we think about all domains of "data center security"!

OSAKA — Nearly three dozen native English teachers called Monday on Osaka Gov. Toru Hashimoto not to cancel an education program that places native speakers of English in the prefecture's schools and expressed concern that the teachers have only been offered four-month contracts.
The Osaka Fu Special English Teachers Union (OFSET), which represents the 34 native English speakers working at prefectural-run high schools and special education schools, hand-delivered a letter to representatives in the governor's office in the afternoon and requested a meeting as soon as possible.
"The Osaka Prefectural NET (Native English Teachers) Program is currently under threat of cancellation due to budget concerns. NETs, working closely with Japanese teachers of English, have spent years developing sophisticated English programs at schools throughout Osaka Prefecture. Without NET teachers, these programs would become unsustainable and simply vanish," the letter says.
After taking office in February, Hashimoto announced that the prefecture would enact a four-month emergency budget to run from April to July.
By then, two special project teams, appointed by the governor to review all prefectural spending, are expected to have their final recommendations on what should be cut. Osaka Prefecture has nearly ¥5 trillion in outstanding debts and is nearly bankrupt.
NET teachers were shocked when, due to the emergency budget, the prefecture offered them only a contract from April to July. Previously, they had been on one-year contracts, which were usually automatically renewed if both the teacher and the prefecture desired.
"It's quite difficult to improve educational standards on a four-month contract. We hope and expect that Hashimoto won't eliminate our jobs after four months. But what we really want is not a continuation of the one-year renewable contract but a contract for five years," Steven Thompson, OFSET general secretary, said at a news conference before the letter was delivered.
The NET teachers hope Hashimoto, who has toured some facilities that may soon be axed, will meet with them and visit their classrooms before making a final decision.
However, Thompson has also notified the Geneva-based International Labor Organization of the prefecture's plans and is keeping them up to date.
Asked about the legality of a four-month contract, Thompson said OFSET had not yet discussed the situation with Japanese legal experts.
The NET program, created in 1990, brings native English teachers into prefectural schools, where they work with Japanese teachers to plan course content. Many of the NETs have master's degrees in education or years of professional experience.

How To Block Someone From Calling You On Your HTC
4.2By Athanasios Zarkadas July 23, 2012 02:27 PM
Htcpedia news:
I am sure most of us have come across a specific time in their lives where they had someone calling them that they did not want to hear from. Whether it is an annoying sales caller or a persistent ex, the situation does arise.
Having to deal with someone constantly calling you is a thing of the past with smartphones. You no longer have to hear the constant ring of an unwanted call. The answer is to just block the caller. It is a series of about four steps.
First you want to be on the calling page. You know, the page that has the calling keypad? Hit the three dot menu button and options will come up. Pick the blocked callers button.
Your Blocked Callers page will pop up and on the top right of the screen next to the menu button you will see a plus sign and the word add. Press that button. See main picture and pictures below for step by step visuals.
You will then have the choice to add caller from your contacts or you can simply just type in the number. Then you are done. No more phone calls to drive you crazy.
This was all taken on my HTC EVO 4G LTE using the screen shots. Of course this is Ice Cream Sandwich and the HTC One X, HTC One S, and HTC Incredible 4G LTE will do it the same way. If you have an older HTC smartphone, do not worry, the options are there for you as well.

Bush and Putin Pillows and ClocksAugust 14, 2014
View Gallery
We have mentioned the art by George W. Bush before and we have also mentioned how much it amused us. We were not the only ones. An unnamed artist was for a very brief time selling household items with replicas of Bush's paintings over at Society6, one of the most active artist communities in the world. The proceeds were to benefit War Child International but the George W. Bush art items have been removed from the Society6 website. Probably because appropriating art without permission is illegal. It's too bad, we could have really used the Tony Blair tote bag.

In League One, Bury look huge at 14/5 (Stan James) to win at Colchester and Sheffield Utd are 11/4 (bet365) to beat Rochdale by just 1.
It's hard to see Sheffield United missing an opportunity to push for automatic promotion as they welcome Rochdale as 4/7 favourites (Betfred). Their opponents are Ladbrokes' 5/1 outsiders while the draw, unlikely in itself, is 3/1 at .
Some recent stubbornness has seen the Dale win at Preston a few weeks back so perhaps they can hold on until half time at Bramall Lane all-square (Boylesports) but United's quality should eventually see them through as winners, that double result a 7/2 chance with Skybet.
However, the Blades have not won a home contest by more than one since mid-September so another narrow victory by the odd-goal is worth taking at 11/4 (bet365) while nervous punters can have 8.0 (7/1) with Betdaq for Sheffield United to win from behind should Rochdale snatch the opener, itself a 19/10 outcome with Stan James.
A basement battle sees bottom club Chesterfield travel to second-bottom Wycombe and Betdaq make the Spireites 3.1 (21/10) to take the vital points. Wycombe are 13/10 (Sportingbet) to do likewise but with both teams struggling for points, a draw looks likely at 12/5 (Partybets).
Bury look overpriced at 14/5 with Stan James to win at Colchester and rack up a fourth straight away win in the league, and a fifth in six away trips, and over in Birkenhead, free-scoring MK Dons are a good away bet at 6/4 () to beat Tranmere and a whopping 9/2 (Sportingbet) to score three or more in the process.
Compare all League One odds and bet at the best price.

Dark Hour's Newest Haunt Will Scare You to Death...With Music!?
This month's Dark Hour Haunted House called "Walpurgisnacht: Halfway to Halloween," incorporates a musical theme into its haunting scenarios.
Photo by Laura Kilpatrick, Graphic Designer for Dark Hour Haunted House
Imagine walking in a dark forest. The dense trees make it almost impossible to see a hint of moonlight. A cool, eerie wind blows from behind you causing the trees' branches to sway as if they are just trying to remind you they are there in the darkness. It's so quiet and spooky that it feels like the perfect setup for a jump scare in a horror movie. You're expecting some kind of masked psychopath with a gardening tool to jump into your field of vision. A noise creeps across your left ear and you swing around but you see nothing. You breathe a sigh of relief and when you turn back, you lock eyes with some kind of undead monster.
He has one of his hands behind his back. Your fevered imagination tries to prepare you for the twisted implement he hopes to introduce to your vital organs. His rotting arm slowly pulls away from his torso to reveal he's carrying a French horn. The sounds of Chuck Mangione's "Feels So Good" ring in your ears as you lose consciousness.
That scenario probably won't be included in Dark Hour Haunted House's newest attraction "Walpurgisnacht: Halfway to Halloween" that opens tonight at 7 p.m. for a two-day run but it's hard to know what to expect from a haunted house that's fueled by live music.
"Walpurgisnacht" shares its name with a German celebration traditionally held on April 30th, the halfway point to Halloween. It celebrates the end of a harsh winter and the welcoming of a new spring with a lore that includes the gathering of witches and the plotting of mischief. Those witches made their way to Plano and have plotted all sorts of new ways to scare anyone who dares to pass through their mountainous lair using the awesome power of music.

Amy Reed, Dark Hour's marketing and promotions manager, said their haunted hell grounds will be stocked with monsters, ghouls and creatures with an unusual talent for music as a way to distract and disarm the emotions of their guests.
"This is a really different experience because we're calling it a musical and a haunt but the music is actually inside the haunt," Reed says. "There are certain parts of the haunt that you will go through and the scene itself is driven by a musician. One of the best examples from last year that I don't think they are doing this is you're walking through the path of a swamp and up on a cliff is a bagpipe player. So you're totally engulfed in how beautiful it is and your attention is diverted and that just gives us more opportunities to scare you."
A strange creature known only as "The Jester" will inhabit Dark Hour's newest haunted house this Friday and Saturday. Tell me what it's like because I'm too chicken to see it myself.

Mounting a musical haunt offered quite a challenge for the makers behind Dark Hour's twisted creative team. Reed said finding scare actors with musical talent was "one of the trickiest parts of casting for this show."
"To cast this show, part of the casting call was for actors with musical ability," Reed says. "So we have some actors singing for you. Some actors are playing different instruments. I believe there's even a theremin involved at some point. It's all just adding to the show. It's not just a regular haunt."
The two-day scarefest will also feature a "Night Gallery" exhibition of dark art on sale for the more twisted art lover that you can only access by going through the haunted house, and a live appearance by actor Drew Rembaric who played the mysterious Toulouse on FX's American Horror Story: Freak Show.
Reed says the creative team behind Dark Hour's haunts takes great pride in finding new ways to terrorize their guests and their musical attempt may be one of their most twisted creations that's more than just a series of random jump-scares.
"It's not just someone grabs a chainsaw and now you're scared, so run," Reed says. "We're more about the psychology of fear."

Every business needs to distinguish itself from the competition. For most companies, there are many competitors. So how do we win new business and keep our existing customers? The differentiators are often very subtle. This impacts new companies as well as those already established.
We are in the technology services space and have thousands of competitors. I'm sure that some of the prospects we talk with say our proposal looks much the same as the other ones. All of the companies in the running know the technology, but the level of experience may be different. We each have references, but how do we demonstrate that we collaborate with our customers to get the most out of the technology? This only shows up years later. Our team is passionate about helping customers succeed. How do you write that in a proposal?
It can be frustrating when you lose a deal to the competition and you know the end result isn't going to be what the prospective customer needed or wanted. It's easy to forget the subtleties. But that's when it is important to remember that what differentiates your firm from theirs is what will likely bring that prospect back to you in the end.

When characters speak English in anime, it is sometimes subtitled. I am surprised when this happens because I myself understand it perfectly well.There's a sort of sliding scale where characters who use more and more loanwords while replacing regular Japanese go from "normal" to "mysterious" to "downright weird".

"You actually believed me?"
I once told ex-Mrs. skullcrusher that the stop signs with a white border are optional when she got on me for rolling thru a stop sign. "If no one else is around, you don't need to make a full stop. You don't remember that from driver's ed?"
The next day, she was out with her father. He asked me if I told her that they were optional? "Yes, she did not need to tell me I rolled thru one. I was driving, I knew what I was doing." He laughed so hard when he told me that she was driving and rolled thru one, so he said something to her. She said, "Optional, it has the white border."
I said to her, "You actually believed me when I said that the stop signs with a white border are optional?"
Now, give up your stories of "You actually believed me when I said..."
I unintentionally convinced a friend that the white cheese dip at a local Tex-Mex place was made with Chihuahua cheese (true) and that Chihuahua cheese is made from the milk of Chihuahua dogs milked by children (smaller fingers).
Last week there was an intensive search for a guy who parked his car on a bridge in this area and jumped 90' into the river. He was eventually found clinging to a buoy, covered in jellyfish stings and really ready to get out of the water.
Turns out that he really believed that his drinking buddy was going to jump, too!

Took the kids, ages 4 & 6, on their first trip to the beach. Virginia Beach. Standing on the sand, with them looking at the ocean, they asked what was "over there"?
Explained that their Mom was from England, England was on the other side of the ocean, and if you looked REALLY REALLY hard, right over there.....
.....I'd respect you in the morning? I didn't respect you last night!
Back when I was fighting forest fires, we got these three inner city kids from East Lansing, MI to come work with us on some special program. They had never been in the forests in their lives and one of them was complaining about the flies that seemed to be bother flying around his head. I asked him, "did you freeze your head at all today?" He was like wtf? So I said, the secret to keeping the flies off your head was to stick you head in the freezer for about 5 minutes and the freon would keep the flies away. He looked at me all dubious, and then I pointed out the other guys in the dorm who were with me...the flies weren't bothering them.
He agreed and proceeded to stick his head in the freezer. meanwhile I was getting anyone and everyone still in the dorms to peak through the window and watch him. One of his inner city buddies saw him with his head in the freezer and asks him "What the hell are you doing?" He replies, "I'm freezing my head to keep the flies away." The friend looked over at the group of us at the window covering our mouths and laughing, and he says, "I got next."
I asked a girlfriend if she knew why the telephone in a hotel room had that red light that blinks when the phone rings? She said it was so you could find the phone in the dark (not a bad answer). I explained that it was for deaf people, that way they knew they had an incomming call. I never set her right and enjoyed it when she told a few people about it. Imagine if that was the purpose...after seeing the light and anwsering the phone what would a deaf person do?
That's a good one. I guess she never got a message...
A few years back, I let a really loud fart rip in the living room. My girls were in their rooms playing dolls, or whatever in the hell girls do. They came running in the living room and asked what that sound was, and I told them it was a barking spider. We moved about four years ago, and they asked me if the new house was infested with barking spiders. They actually believed that for almost five years!

A LEAP OF FAITH: A MEREDITH VIEIRA SPECIAL Introduces Viewers to a Life-Saving Medical Break-Through, 6/27
On Friday, June 27th at 8pm/7c, NBC News will air "A Leap of Faith: A Meredith Vieira Special." The special report takes viewers inside the front lines of an emerging medical break-through that is both experimental and controversial -- but has the potential to save billions of lives. "A Leap of Faith" provides an exclusive look inside the emotional journey of Dr. Paolo Macchiarini, his patients, and their families as he attempts to revolutionize the way we treat even the most deadly diseases.
Meredith Vieira closely follows the work of Dr. Macchiarini, who is at the forefront of the field of regenerative medicine. Using stem cells from a patient's own body to grow new organs in a lab, regenerative medicine could potentially eliminate the need for donor organs in the future. Macchiarini is the only doctor in the world who performs transplants with completely artificial, bio-engineered organs. His work has been criticized for being experimental and risky, but he is willing to take chances to help his patients. Dr. Macchiarini tells Vieira, "You see a patient and this patient has no other alternatives. And he will die very, very soon. As a human, and as a doctor, are we allowed to say no? I don't think so."
Meredith Vieira shares the powerful, at times heartbreaking stories of patients like a single dad from Baltimore who was being suffocated by an inoperable tumor; a toddler from South Korea who had spent her entire life in the hospital, unable to breathe on her own; and a former Russian dancer who was left with a gaping hole in her throat after a devastating car accident. "A Leap of Faith" is about the brave pioneers who are willing to take chances in the name of science.

Discussion in 'English Only' started by Revere_ir, Aug 15, 2007.
Is it right 13rd? or 13th?
Interesting question, Revere.
3rd - third
13th - thirteenth (it's not formed in the same way as the others: cardinal numeral + third)
23rd - twenty-third
33rd - thirty-third
13th is right. If you spell it out, it will be thirteenth.
If it is a fraction 1/3, then you say it out as one third.
Ok, this is how it goes:
1st,first; 2nd,second; 3rd,third, 4th,fourth; 5th; 6th;7th; 8th; 9th, 10th;11th; 12th; 13th; 14th; 15th; 16th;17th; 18th; 19th; 20th; then:
21st, twenty first; 22nd, twenty second; 23rd, twenty third, 24, twenty forth; 26th; 27th; 28th; 29th; 30th, then back to:
31st, thirty first, 32nd thirty second, 33rd thirty third, 34 thirty fourth, 35th; 36th; 37th; 38th; 39th; 40th, then back again to:
41st, forty first; 42nd forty second; 43,forty third; 44th, forty forth, 46th; 47th... From here on it goes indefinitely along this pattern.
For example:100th; 101st; 102nd; 103rd; 104th; 1,000,001st; 1,000,002nd..... Sounds difficult at first, but I,m sure you'll catch up with it soon!
Separate names with a comma.

The name Rebecca Harding Davis has not appeared in print for decades. But on April 23, the Pennsylvania Historic and Museum Commission approved the addition of 15 new state markers. Soon, both Davis� name and legacy will be etched in gold on a blue historic marker.
Rebecca Harding Davis is the influential but little-known 19th-century author whose works gave a voice to the working poor and ushered in the Realist movement. Though she spent most of her life in Wheeling, W.Va., and Philadelphia, Davis was born in the Bradford House in Washington and received her formal education at the Washington Female Seminary.
�The time that she spent here made a lasting impression on her,� said Jennifer Harding, the Washington & Jefferson College English professor responsible for securing the marker.
That influence is reflected in Davis� first and most famous work, �Life in the Iron Mills.� Published in 1861, the novella artfully exposes the treacherous working conditions and unfair labor laws in American mills.
Encouraged by the instant success of her novella, Davis continued to pen works that advocated social justice and women�s rights. While her works influenced future writers like Walt Whitman to realistically portray American life or to expose society�s ills, none of Davis� 500 other writings ever achieved the popularity that �Life in the Iron Mills� did.
�What I have always found interesting about the story is that the setting is a lot like Pittsburgh,� said Harding. �It is a really nice connection with our area.�
Thanks to Harding, Davis� contributions to American literature and her ties to Washington � which she fondly recalls in her autobiography, �Bits and Pieces of Gossip� � are finally being noted. Next spring, the focus of W&J�s quarterly journal Topic will be �Rebecca Harding Davis and Her World,� and the historic marker installation and dedication ceremony will take place in April 2013.
The site of the marker has not been officially decided, but Harding hopes to install it near the intersection of East Maiden Street and Lincoln Avenue, the original site of the Washington Female Seminary.
�It�s just nice to honor the seminary,� said Harding. �It�s wonderful for Washington to be able to claim (Davis, who has) a historical presence in our community.�

FDIC QuarterlySubscribe
The FDIC Quarterly provides a comprehensive summary of the most current financial results for the banking industry, along with feature articles. These articles range from timely analysis of economic and banking trends at the national and regional level that may affect the risk exposure of FDIC-insured institutions to research on issues affecting the banking system and the development of regulatory policy. The FDIC Quarterly brings together data and analysis that were previously available through three retired publications -- the FDIC Outlook, the FDIC Banking Review, and the FYI: An Update on Emerging Issues in Banking. Past issues of these publications are archived under their original publication names.
FDIC Quarterly 2010 Volume 4, Number 2- PDF (1.0MB) (PDF Help)
Quarterly Banking Profile – First Quarter 2010
FDIC-insured institutionsreported an aggregate profit of $18.0 billion in the first quarter of 2010, a $12.5 billion improvement from the $5.6 billion the industry earned in the first quarter of 2009, but still well below historical norms for quarterly profits. More than half of all institutions (52.2 percent) reported year-over-year improvements in their quarterly net income. Fewer than one in five institutions (18.7 percent) reported net losses for the quarter, compared to 22.3 percent a year earlier. The average return on assets (ROA) rose to 0.54 percent, from 0.16 percent a year ago. This is the highest quarterly ROA for the industry since the first quarter of 2008.
Insurance Fund Indicators
Estimated insured deposits (based on $250,000 coverage) increased 1.3 percent in the first quarter of 2010. The Deposit Insurance Fund reserve ratio rose 1 basis point during the quarter to -0.38 percent, and 41 FDIC-insured institutions failed during the quarter.
Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program
The FDIC Board approved the Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program (TLGP) in response to major disruptions in credit markets. The TLGP improves access to liquidity for participating institutions by fully guaranteeing non-interest-bearing transaction deposit accounts and by guaranteeing eligible senior unsecured debt. As of March 31, 2010, approximately 80 percent of FDIC-insured institutions have opted in to the Transaction Account Guarantee Program, and 7,678 eligible entities elected the option to participate in the Debt Guarantee Program. Approximately $279 billion in non-interest-bearing transaction accounts was guaranteed as of March 31, 2010, and $305 billion in guaranteed senior unsecured debt, issued by 79 entities, was outstanding at the end of the first quarter. Issuance under the Debt Guarantee Program ended on October 31, 2009.

A Template for Success: The FDIC's Small-Dollar Loan Pilot Program
Printable Version - PDF (PDF Help)
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporations two-year Small-Dollar Loan Pilot Program concluded in the fourth quarter of 2009. The pilot was a case study designed to illustrate how banks can profitably offer affordable small-dollar loans as an alternative to high-cost credit products such as payday loans and fee-based overdraft programs. This article summarizes the results of the pilot, outlines the lessons learned and the potential strategies for expanding the supply of affordable small-dollar loans, and highlights pilot bank successes through case studies.
A Guide to Processing Deposit Insurance Claims: A Cross-Country Perspective
Printable Version - PDF (PDF Help)

The article reviews the role of deposit insurers in a bank failure as well as their responsibilities in the claims process. It also reviews the basic tools that deposit insurers need to satisfy the claims of insured depositors (and others) and the procedures commonly followed in the claims process. Finally, the article explores the claims process of deposit insurers in Canada, the Philippines, the Russian Federation, and the United States.

Ex-curling champ sues former national coach for saying she 'refused to play for her country'
Gail Munro is suing the former national coach Derek Brown for £50,000 for damaging her reputation as an international curler.
**The former skip of the Scottish women's curling team told a court that she was horrified by allegations that she had refused to play for her country by the ex-national coach. **
Gail Munro told the Court of Session in Edinburgh that she had been involved in international curling for a number of years and that the claims had damaged her reputation.
She said on Wednesday: "I have been involved in international curling for quite a number of years both coaching and playing and felt I had a very good standing in the international curling community.
"I just felt at that moment that that reputation and that standing had cascaded around me."
Mrs Munro, 43, now a manager at an ice rink, is suing the former national coach Derek Brown £50,000 for damaging her reputation as an international curler.
Mr Brown, 44, who is currently director of high performance for the US Curling Association in Wisconsin is contesting the case.
When her counsel Roddy Dunlop QC asked what affect the coach's comments had had on her career she said: "It is difficult to quantify but I do feel that the few international events which I have attended since I did not get the same warm welcome which I have previously had."
The team won their initial game at the 2008 World Women's Curling Championship held in Vernon, Canada, but then suffered a string of defeats at which point she was dropped from the team.
Mrs Munro, from Cairnryan Road in Stranraer, maintains she was not asked and did not refuse to return to the team.
She told the court that she only found out about his comments from a publication at the championships.
Mrs Munro said: "To my absolute horror there I was on the front page eating a poke of chips with the allegation that I had refused to play for my country."
She claims she demanded Mr Brown issue a retraction, but was unable to comment on the allegations at the time due to a players' agreement banning her from speaking out.
When questioned about whether team coach Rhona Martin had asked her to return in a meeting the following night Mrs Munro replied: "Absolutely not."
The case being heard before Lord Doherty continues.

Ravi Shastri denies dressing room divide - CNN
Wed, Jul 01, 2015, 01:24 AM
The Team India has lost against the so called minnows in cricket Bangladesh Team for the first time in the history. Many allegations followed after this debacle and it is severely alleged that there was a dressing room disharmony which led to this unexpected loss where the cricketers of Indian team looked clueless to Bangladeshi bowling. Indian Team Director Ravi Shastri said MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli have utmost respect for each other and the Indian team was "one honest bunch" who believed in playing for each other.

It's no surprise that hidden fees lurk in every corner of the travel industry, but some are sneakier than others.
If you have to cancel your non-refundable airline ticket, you get credited the value of the ticket for use within a year. Sounds reasonable, right?
Well, if you're only cancelling one leg of your round-trip flight—don't expect to recoup half the cost of the ticket…each leg is valued differently so you could end up with very little credit.
Then there's the airlines' change fees—about $150 domestically. And if you booked through a travel agent like Orbitz, there's probably an additional administrative cost.
Translation: You could wipe out the entire value of your credit.
We've all heard of those nasty resort fees and, in fact, one NYU study projects the hotel industry will collect $1.95 billion on those fees alone.
Even though providers are required to advertise these resort fees, it's not always clear. When you see a great hotel rate on a site like Priceline, it's only after you click on it that you see the additional taxes and fees.
But the FTC is now paying close attention to what they call "drip pricing" and warned several hotels to be transparent in the booking process.
Ultimately, the hope is that advertised rates will someday become more consistent, so we can make more informed decisions.

Life inside the Wapello County Jail
Thu, 12 Apr 2012 01:21:20 GMT —
Jail is not a place anyone wants to end up in. Once you hear the doors shut and the doors are locked, you are no longer on your own time. This is jail.
â??We will wake them up at 6 a.m. and feed them breakfast, give them medications if they need medication and then theyâ??ll go back to lockdown while we finish up breakfast. They will then be let back out of their cell at 6:30 or 7 and then they'll have the opportunity to be out in the day-room where there's TV, they play cards, they play games, socialize with other inmates,â?? says Jeremy Weller, Wapello County Jail Administrator.
If an inmate tries to hurt themselves, they will be taken to a special status cell.
â??Full length bottom from floor to top windows so we can easily see in. They can't get out of our site and that way we can monitor them,â?? said Weller.
So what about the food? There have been instances when inmates will throw their food at the guards. Their meals are then replaced with homemade â??nutri-loaf.â?? This is not your grandmaâ??s meatloaf.
â??Itâ??s basically everything from the meal thatâ??s going to be served put into a blender. They add some bread and eggs to it and they actually bake it like a loaf of bread. That way if they throw a loaf of bread at you, itâ??s no big deal. But if they threw biscuits and gravy, you got a mess,â?? said Weller.
I spoke to some of the female inmates and they said they are not fans of the menu adding that itâ??s very fattening. However, they say they do eat what theyâ??re given because they have no other choice.
Dealing with potentially violent criminals, you need to be ready for anything. Weller said itâ??s all part of the job and everyday is different.


text: gupebreedr Posted September 29, 2011 (edited) IN THE BEGINNING ROB CREATED A ~~~~~ NANO ~~~~~ New Full Tank Shot 1-27-2012 A bit about me, the name is Rob and I live in the beautiful sunshine state of Florida. I've had a wee bit of experience with reefkeeping some 7 or 8 years ago, having a 10 gal Nano and a 56 gal reef. I lost both of those set-ups the year we had the 3 named hurricanes hitting our state. Being somewhat discouraged I gave up on saltwater and primarily kept my FW set-ups. Well, here it is a few years later and I've gotten the bug to start again with a bit of help and encouragement from a friend that has several reefs tanks. The new set-up. 10 gal AGA. . The tank was setup on 9/22/2011. I started with a 5lbs of live rock and a few small rubble pieces added to my modded AC70. No live sand at this point but was added a few days later. Adding sand sure created a milky situation!!!!! LOL In addition to the AC70 I have a AC mini running to aid with water circulation and mechanical filtration. No tests have been made as of yet as my test kit was rather old and I'm not sure if the chemicals were reliable. New test kits have been ordered and should be here in the next few days. Additional equipment to be added and ordered is a 50 watt heater and a LED fug light. Heater to be installed the fug. I am currently researching a new light fixture for this set up. I want to go with LED, any suggestions? Was thinking about two Par bulbs from BOOSTLED. Last night I added 5.5 lbs of live rock but have not taken pic's yet. Those will be forth coming in my next update. More sand is needed as well and I'll be getting that later today. Oh and lastly, my diatom bloom started this morning. Guess I'll have to get my CUC pretty soon but want to check my parameters before doing so. Stay tuned for more updates and pic's to follow soon. Rob 10G. 2 BoostLED PAR30 bulbs and fixtures.

Rob Pattinson doesn't require much of his costars.
During a live interview with MTV News Friday, the 24-year-old Brit -- who plays Reese Witherspoon's love interest in this April's Water for Elephants -- joked that he chooses his costars based mostly on appearance.
"I like hot girls," he laughed. "I like being in movies with lots of hot girls."
Not that Pattinson -- who's also shared screen-time with real-life love Kristen Stewart, as well as actresses Emile de Ravin and Uma Thurman -- will settle for a leading lady who lacks intelligence.
"They're all very strong, actually," he raved of his former on-screen flames. "I always end up being in movies with very experienced and passionate people. They're never just flimsy floozies."
Despite the actress' combinations of beauty and brains, Pattinson still feels a tad uncomfortable while shooting love scenes.
"The love scene in this, I was doing it when I had a really bad cold," Pattinson explained of his steamy encounter with Witherspoon, 34, in Water for Elephants. "My nose was running all over the place...and Reese had this wig on, and literally, I was wiping my nose on her wig."
As for his much-anticipated sex scene with Stewart, 20, in this November's Breaking Dawn?
"It's pretty funny," he said.

As the course progresses, you'll learn about different kinds of publications Publisher can help you produce. You'll see how to create documents from scratch, but you'll also learn how to modify existing templates so you can create customized documents more easily. Finally, you'll learn all about printing your publications and how to share Publisher documents electronically.
Once you learn how to manage Publisher tools and features and how to design effective publications, you'll be able to create anything you might need. Introduction to Publisher 2013 is a course that will help you do just that!
A new session of each course opens each month, allowing you to enroll whenever your busy schedule permits!
How does it work? Once a session starts, two lessons will be released each week, for the six-week duration of your course. You will have access to all previously released lessons until the course ends.
Keep in mind that the interactive discussion area for each lesson automatically closes 2 weeks after each lesson is released, so you're encouraged to complete each lesson within two weeks of its release.
The Final Exam will be released on the same day as the last lesson. Once the Final Exam has been released, you will have 2 weeks plus 10 days to complete the Final and finish any remaining lessons in your course. No further extensions can be provided beyond these 10 days.
Today, we'll get started with some of Publisher's basics. We'll explore some more of the concepts that you need to know before delving into a large project, including how to open, save, and close a file. Then we'll take a look at the various elements of the main Publisher workspace, including ribbon options and additional menus.
Are you ready to have some fun? In this lesson, you'll see how to add and edit text, both directly in the program and by importing it from other documents. Then, you'll learn how to format text (including selecting the font, size, and color) and how to change paragraph alignment and line spacing. We'll also discuss how to set off special text by adding borders and fills to the text frame.
Publisher offers several ways for you to create consistent and professional publications for your organization. In our last lesson together, you'll learn how to create and use Custom Templates. We'll also discuss how to access the latest templates the Publisher user community has contributed.

Which Cruise To Choose. You Can't Hear it Enough!
Written by: Kuki
The subject of choosing a cruise that's right for you may be one of the most covered topics for cruise related web sites, and cruise advice columns. In fact this could be my own third or fourth version discussing this issue, so my goal was to discover a new approach to the old topic. You may want to take that stated goal as a warning… because you should know no good is going to come of it.
The first step in deciding which cruise to choose is to decide if you in fact would at least have a chance to make you "a good cruiser". To determine that possibility, a necessary qualifier is that you are alive. Though dead passengers can lighten the work load of the crew, dead folks really don't make "good cruisers". If you're onboard, but dead, your presence would benefit your fellow passengers as space ratios improve, and demands on the ship's services is lessened – to the degree that being dead you won't put any demands on those services.
If you've decided with some degree of certainty that you are still alive but the thought of being on water for any reason whatsoever (other than boarding Noah's Ark as its sailed by your ranch house in New Mexico) makes you want to vomit, then you should probably pass up any opportunity to cruise, no matter how your friends try to convince you it's the best valued vacation available.
But, once you've assessed the situation, and believe you'd like to cruise, what really is the best way to determine which cruise line would be best for you?
Some experts will suggest the most crucial point to consider is the itinerary; the places the ship will take you; or in "cruise writer lingo"- the ports of call you'd most like to visit.
If you were to research and consult with a good cruise travel agent before booking, which far too few people do, before booking you they'd be more likely to ask you where you've been, than where you want to go. By that, I don't mean you'd be expected to supply a geographical list of every place you've ever gone. Rather, I mean a good agent would attempt to interview you to determine what your likes and dislikes might be, what sorts of activities you enjoy, what types of restaurants you enjoy, and most importantly how much money is on your wallet.
OK, the last point is a bit of a stretch, but naturally budget is an important consideration, and a good cruise travel agent will supply you with the explanations of the variety and variations in cruise line pricing. Pricing alone isn't a factor until you spend more than you can afford to, or are accustomed to luxury travel and end up as part of the rowing crew of a Viking war-ship. Even if you've pre-determined how much you'd like to spend on your cruise, there's variables. What's the best accommodation for you, a top drawer cabin on a budget cruise line, or an actual top drawer in someone else's cabin on a luxury ship?
Next up on the "always available" list in articles about choosing your cruise is "food". All the cruise lines have food onboard, so I'm not quite certain why it garners as much discussion as it does. There is a very stereotypical view of cruising — that people choose to cruise because there's an endless supply of food onboard, and that's true.
Well, it's true that there is virtually an endless supply of food onboard, but I'm guessing less than one third of people chose to cruise based solely on that fact. I'm considered a pretty good eater, but frankly I have no idea of what people are really talking about when they say they are a "foody" or a "gourmand". Does that mean they like to eat more than I do? I doubt that! Does it mean that they know better than I do what tastes good? Does it mean that they like to eat more expensive things than I do, or that they enjoy eating things that most other human beings wouldn't let pass their lips, just so they can offer an opinion on it?
At any rate, I digress. There is a large variance in the food quality and variety on menus offered on all the different cruise lines. And if I knew for sure that you liked to eat the same stuff I do, I'd give you my opinion of which is the best.
I also wouldn't suggest you base your selection of cruise line on anyone else's opinions of cuisine either, even if they are gourmands. While food indeed can be a factor that influences your enjoyment of the cruise, I would never suggest someone choose a cruise on that basis alone.
Advice I've given previously, and continue to see many other industry people offer is to find a cruise line who's personality matches your own. It is true that the cruise lines have worked quite diligently to create identities which they hope will differentiate them from the other lines.
If you're a narcissist you can find a ship who's interiors are filled with mirrors for your viewing pleasure. If you're agoraphobic you can find ships with cabins you never have to leave. If you're photogenic I'd welcome you on any ship I'll be on.
At an ever increasing pace, theme cruises covering just about any type of affinity group or activities are being promoted. This really does create a huge variety of niches to chose from, that you may fit into. These days just about any theme from soap operas, to soap box cruises, to sports themed, to educationally focused cruises can be found quite easily. The specificity available is truly quite remarkable.
If you've managed to read this blog, making it all the way to this point, I'm supposing you'd like to see a point made.
That point is… the options now available in the cruise industry are endless, and very complicated, and I recommend that everyone, experienced cruisers, and most certainly first-time cruisers, seek out the advice and assistance of experienced Cruise Travel Agents when considering a cruise.
While the opinions you hear from your neighbours, your relatives, your friends, your butcher, and me, should be considered; frankly I believe, the more professional advice you get, the happier returning cruiser you'll be.
Or you could follow my lead and book ships, where the primary color of interior décor matches my favorite underwear.
Cruise vacations are much too costly to leave everything to chance, booking because a friend is going, or based on ad you saw or heard. The most unhappy returning cruisers we see on the message boards are those who really didn't know what to expect in the first place other than the stereotypical images of "cruising".
Your choice of ship will be the single most important factor in whether or not you enjoy your cruise. It's mind boggling how little thought so many people into that decision. It's a topic that requires a book be written to cover the subject, rather than a few thousand words in cruise advice columns and Blogs.

So many times, in the posts we read, about people and cruising NOT clicking, is the fact that, the ship/cruiseline, and the cruiser, was a poor match. This is the crucial startting point, and how right you are, the knowledgeable ta, will make the world of difference.

Dark Souls 3 Multiplayer: Will it convert PvP noobs? -
Like most sane people, I play Dark Souls and Bloodborne in offline mode. Now, I know this admission is the sort of thing which will irreparably damage my Internet Gamer Cred, being as it is a lifelong devotion to not getting good, but I don't care. The games are hard enough as they are without people like 'Sexy McButt Face' (a real player, I should add) jumping into them and twatting you off that bridge for having the temerity to try and play it. Multiplayer is for true Dark Souls geeks, I always thought. They all spoke a different language, one of emotes and duels and social conventions and invitations to '1v1 me bro '.
It all seemed a little bit too much like hard work, until I had to do it for work, and now I'm sad to say that I'm actually enjoying it. A lot. I'm one of them now; reading up about the best sets of tactics for a given area, thinking about my build a lot – reckon I'm gonna call my gang the Poise of Summer – and learning what 'ganking' means.
I'm in now. Initiated, etc. But the real question is: if you're a noob Souls player, should you do the same?
The answer, as always with these games, isn't exactly clear. Starting co-op or getting into competitive multiplayer isn't just a matter of hitting an option on a menu, of course. Instead, you've got to acquire certain items – a soapstone from a merchant in Firelink to summon, a red eye orb from the same place to invade other people's games – and then try and get it to work. There are other considerations: you can't summon if you have already beaten the area boss, and invading changes your Estus allocation, among other things. Oh, and you have to be 'embered' – via a consumable commodity – to do any of this.
Is it worth it? Yes, for the most part, but as your attorney I advise you to leave it until later on in the game. Well, the invasion stuff, at least. Having other humans to help you out with the game's ridiculous bosses is obviously helpful right from the start, and being embered also enables you to summon NPCs to do the hard work of getting destroyed while you clip the Big Bad's ankles for ten or so minutes. It's a legitimate and encouraged way of playing the game, useful for overcoming all manner of difficulty spikes.
The real fun, however, is in PvP: a test of skill and nerve and your ability to not roll off the side of cathedrals to your doom. The best part about it is how it totally changes the way you approach everything about the experience. It is perfectly possible to coast your way through a lot of the Souls games, pumping yet more stats into your strength, HP, and stamina, buffing that weapon you really like and leaving it at that. Competitive play forces you to look at new arms, new spells, new armour, while also demanding that you look into what DEX really means, and how it works.
Beyond all that shite though, all that homework, is one of the most rewarding combat games out there, like some mad, hyper-budget Bushido Blade. So much of PvP is about intimidation that players can lose duels before they even start them, or be forced into stupid errors with ease. The environments play a huge part in this, not just in the case of backing your foe up to the edge of a cliff, but also in positioning yourself like a glowing medieval Batman, perched atop a battlement for maximum menace. One of my first encounters as an invader in DS3 saw my prey scrambling to an end of a rope bridge, hoping to lure me in and then cut it loose. I stopped the pursuit early, avoided the trap. For a brief moment they looked back, did a little jig, and escaped. Bastards. This is the joy of the mode: your enemies are smaller, but the occasion feels grander.
This sort of thing happens often in Souls PvP, making it worth the hassle of getting your head kicked in a lot. So if you're a Souls newcomer, or someone who has played them all from the comfort of offline mode, give it a shot.

14-Year-Old Justin Bieber Fan Drew Ryniewicz Impresses on 'X Factor'
Getting a compliment out of Simon Cowell is difficult. But young singer and proud carrier of Bieber fever Drew Ryniewicz really impressed this music industry veteran on tonight's 'X Factor.'
Ryniewicz first caught the eyes of the judges when she performed her very own version of Justin Bieber's 'Baby.' A bold move, considering L.A. Reid helped to launch the career of the Biebs.
Performing a silky smooth version of Roxette's 'It Must Have Been Love' in a kelly green dress perfectly suited for her age, Ryniewicz blew away Cowell. The sometimes crotchety Cowell seemed mesmerized by this youthful but oh-so-grown up performance. While we could really see that her voice does need some coaching, the possibilities seem endless for young Drew Ryniewicz.
When Ryniewicz finished, Cowell remarked that she was amazing, but she may be too young still. While she may need to grow into her voice, we think if she keeps at it, she could do big things — winner of 'X Factor' or not.

A British-owned advertising agency has condemned its team in Argentina over an "offensive" video showing an Argentine athlete training in the Falklands.
The political advert shows hockey captain Fernando Zylberberg preparing for London 2012.
It ends with: "To compete on English soil we train on Argentine soil."
Young & Rubicam, owned by UK company WPP, said: "We strongly condemn this work and have asked the Argentine government to pull the spot."
The 90-second video - broadcast in Argentina on Wednesday night - shows Zylberberg running in Port Stanley and exercising outside the Globe Tavern.
The advert, which also features a brief shot of him training on the steps of a World War I memorial, is the latest move by Argentina to reassert its claim to the British overseas territory which it calls the Malvinas.

Genre: Cooking
Premise: ``The Next Iron Chef'' returns for a fourth season, and many of this season's 10 contestants, ``super chefs'' according to the season's title, are recognizable to viewers of Food Network and Cooking Channel. The list includes former ``Iron Chef America'' sous chef Anne Burrell, ``Chuck's Day Off'' host Chuck Hughes, ``Restaurant Impossible'' host Robert Irvine and frequent ``Chopped'' judge Geoffrey Zakarian. A new twist this season is the addition of the Secret Ingredient Showdown, which pits the bottom two chefs each week against each other in a sudden-death cook-off with just one ingredient. The chef that loses that battle is eliminated. This season, the judging panel includes Iron Chef Michael Symon, food journalist Simon Majumdar and U.K. Iron Chef Judy Joo. As usual, the winning chef joins the ranks of the other Iron Chefs on future episodes of ``Iron Chef America.''

Chesterfield, VA–On the evening of April 16, Chesterfield County's emergency 911 phone line experienced a break in service; callers heard a busy signal, and sometimes, got no answer at all. 8News asked officials what caused the problem, and if it could happen again.
911 service was down for about one hour Tuesday evening. Emergency Communications Director Richard Troshak said an equipment upgrade caused the interruption in service.
"Our 9-1-1 equipment vendor was doing some software enhancements. During the upgrade we noticed some intermittent issues so we initiated a backup procedure and notified the media."
An alternative number was released to the media during the interruption, and that staff followed up on any calls made to the 911 line while it was down.
"As we got information on calls that could have came in, we got in contact by calling those folks back to see if there was a problem and if we couldn't get an answer we dispatched police to their location to check on them. "
The phone line failure didn't cause any serious problems, Troshak believes, and the community should not worry about this type of problem occurring again in the future.
"This was an isolated incident, in the 5 years I've been working here this is the first equipment problem that's effected our capabilities."
If those living in Chesterfield cannot reach emergency personnel by dialing 911 for any reason, please call the alternate number, 804-748-1251.
