The Chicago Teachers Union says its teachers and support staff have overwhelmingly approved a new three-year contract that includes pay increases and a new evaluation system.
Union spokeswoman Stephanie Gadlin said late Wednesday the contract was ratified by 79 percent of the union's membership.
The Chicago Teachers Union said members, who voted on Tuesday, ratified the contract by a vote of 16,428 to 4,337. The contract now must be approved by the Chicago Board of Education, which is scheduled to meet later this month.
Teachers walked off the job Sept. 10, idling 350,000 students in the nation's third-largest school district for seven days before the union's delegates agreed to suspend the strike -- and return to classes -- pending the outcome of the official vote on a tentative contract.

Maybe it's because someone slipped an Easter egg into his egg matzah or, after years of fruitlessly awaiting the arrival of Elijah — whining over how much Manischewitz they've wasted all that time — he's discovered the prophet's been sipping gin with the gentile next door.
"Matzo & Mistletoe" is a struggle akin to Lancelot versus "Spamalot," begging the question: Why is this knight different from all other knights?"
Hide the afikomen: It's secular and the siddur in this wonderful first film by Kate Feiffer, not so much asking "Who is a Jew?" as "What is a Jew?" The discussion is open this weekend at its world premiere at the Philadelphia Jewish Film Festival at the Gershman Y.
With its at-times funny focus on nonreligious Jews coming to grips with their Judaism with the adeptness of a hot Momma trying to handle a hot latke without her mitten, "M & M" is melt-in-your-mouth mischievous, a Chanukah bush of a bash in which Feiffer drums up attention about those Jews who wonder why gefilte fish is so hard to catch.
Feiffer should know; she's one of them. In one of the funniest scenes in this fine, hourlong documentary, the filmmaker becomes her own screen-saver: In a discussion of Passover delicacies, she is reeled in by a kibitzer, falling hook, line and stinker for the myth that gefilte fish swim in a school all their own.
It's an education for Feiffer to discover that gefilte is really a batch of fish thrown together only to carp about who winds up in the tail section.
It's just one of the real tales to come out of a movie made by this former TV producer and writer who early on not only saw Momma kissing Santa Claus, but making him breakfast.
"I didn't find out I was Jewish until I was 6," relates Feiffer, whose animated discussion of her nonreligious roots draws on the history of being raised by her famous Pulitzer Prize and Oscar-winning cartoonist/playwright/screenwriter dad, Jules, and mom Judy.
Pass the popcorn — it's Pop and daughter! The post-Saturday-night screening of "Matzo & Mistletoe" at the Y's "New Filmmakers Weekend" will feature Kate and Jules as well as Andrew Perlmutter addressing his "Ethics on the Edge of Life."
Don't look down; their relationship is uplifting and inspirational. Yet it was a household where ho-ho-ho provided the oy-oy-oy of self-identity for a girl whose family celebrated Christmas, and who believed Santa Claus was just a cherished chimney drop-in each year "until I was about 8 or 9."
Indeed, she didn't know borscht about being Jewish, but then, neither did her young friends, which explains why the Brooklyn babe in the woods was more familiar with Christmas Carols than Passover Pattys.
"It just never came up," reveals Feiffer of knowing that she was Jewish.
"Our Crowd" was crowded with such secular Jews whose sense of Judaism was more of 2 cents plain than plainly understanding the rites behind the reasons for their religion. "Almost all my friends were secular, nonpracticing Jews," she recalls.
Although there was a mesmerizing mezuzah of a clue that something was different. "There were a lot of Bar Mitzvahs I went to," she remembers of her childhood, "but it never got more Jewish than that."
Who could be more Jewish than Rabbi Ephraim Buchwald, director of the National Jewish Outreach Program, featured in the film lamenting the loss of self-identity among Jews and the need for continuity in this country?
Indeed, he adds a spark to the secular debate with a shout-out to those Jews whose ignorance has caused what he calls a "silent holocaust" in this country.
Silent no more; the phrase is a lamb- shank slap in the face to some in the film who argue the propriety of such a term.
Among those coming to terms with the contention? Surprisingly, Mike Wallace. Who could be perceived more as a jaded Jew than the much maligned Wallace, the ageless, timeless "Sixty Minutes" legend who, time and again, has had to defend himself from false claims of being a self-hating Jew because of controversial Mideast broadcasts he's been involved in? In one of the film's biggest surprises, Wallace, sensationally secular, describes how, each night before he goes to bed, he recites the Shema.
Sham? No way, says Feiffer, who knows some may have a hard time believing Wallace's claim, but it's a fact that even Andy Rooney would have a hard time repudiating — not that he'd want to.
As for her famous father, the jewel of cartoonists — who started out as an intern with Will Eisner in 1929 on The Spirit — Jules offers some spirited discussions of why the secular spirit moves him if not the religious practice.
Little marrors? Secular doesn't mean seceded, explains his daughter of the man more familiar for his screenplay of "Carnal Knowledge" than his knowledge of Jewish liturgy. "In many ways, he is connected; he grew up with a very Jewish family but not tied to the religious aspect."
The ties that unbind stretched to Kate, too, who "married a nonpracticing Catholic," marveling in the later paradox of their daughter "having to explain to us the story of Chanukah."
So, what's the story with "Matzo & Mistletoe"? Feiffer's fine new film adds a hint of horseradish to a heated debate. Seven years in the making, it's made for some dynamic daughter-parent discussions. "Since she's grown up during the making of the film, she's been part of the discussion," says her mom of the mitzvah of living and learning and lensing.
"We're proud to be Jewish, and this film has made me think of issues I hadn't thought about," she acknowledges.
Think her father would change his decision not to attend the family seders thrown by an aunt? That's one of more than four questions asked this time of year around the Feiffer fiefdom.
The family affair — a seder that's not afraid to find the "ha" in Haggadah and serve as the last supper to end all suppers — is as apt to be visited by Feiffer as Elijah. Her father feels, says Kate, that if he were going to attend one, it would have to be a serious seder rather than the raucous ritual he considers this one to be.
Passing up a Passover dinner is history anyway since "we haven't had one of those gatherings the last couple of years."
Here's a thought; why not throw one herself?
It seems to throw the director for a loss — or maybe a latke. Muses the filmmaker who admits to liking her matzah with "just butter" and concedes "I've never been kissed under a mistletoe," hosting one herself would leaven the playing field considerably but raise more than four questions.
Why? "Because I wouldn't know what to do."

Microsoft Gives Vista Service Pack Details
- Microsoft Gives Vista Service Pack Details
- upgrades and enhancements
security enhancements in service pack 1 include an upgrade to the bitlocker drive encryption to allow for more secure user authentication. customers will get a startup key stored on a usb storage device as well as a user-generated pin.
microsoft also promised software vendors a more secure way to communicate with its security center via sp1. an added api will also allow security and threat-detection applications to work with kernel patch protection on x64-based vista systems. sp1 will also allow remote desktop protocol (rdp) files to be signed, which makes running remoteapps programs more secure.
on the hardware front, vista sp1 incorporates support for emerging standards like the extended file allocation table (exfat), a file system for flash drives. it will also support secure digital (sd) advanced direct memory access (dma) in an effort to improve transfer performance and decrease cpu utilization.
computers running x64-based operating systems will be able to boot using the extensible firmware interface (efi), which is considered an upgrade to bios.
vista sp1 will support direct3d 10.1, a 3d api, so gamers can utilize more advanced graphics hardware. finally, the upgraded os will support the secure socket tunneling protocol (sstp), a remote access tunneling protocol that provides full-network vpn remote access that passes through firewalls and proxy servers.
microsoft also promised increased reliability in terms of using new graphics cards, using external displays on laptops or networking-configuration scenarios, upgrading from xp to vista, working with a variety of printer drivers, and entering or resuming from sleep mode.
performance issues were also an issue and sp1 includes updates intended to improve problems associated with: copying and extracting files; delays associated with opening the file dialog box of domain-jointed pcs; internet explorer 7 cpu utilization; battery consumption; and delayed log-on experiences, according to microsoft.
for administrators, sp1 will allow bitlocker drive encryption to encrypt additional drives. they will encounter changes, however, when it comes to managing the group policy. in an effort to simplify policy management, downloading sp1 will uninstall the group policy management console (gpmc). this means users will no longer have access to gpmc and must download an out-of-band release until the new, enhanced version of gpmc is released.
the service pack will also include all previously released updates for windows vista.
microsoft will also release the third service pack for windows xp in the next few weeks, but the company said it should not significantly change the xp user experience.

As mentioned earlier, there are only a handful of Test players who played 5 or more Tests in which their team won all of them. As on May 15, 2016 they are:
None of them had particularly distinguished Test careers; for instance, Lord Hawke was a specialist batsman whose Test batting average was under 10. They were fortunate in being in the right team at the right time-which was particularly true of Eldine Baptiste: http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/player/51211.html
Not long ago Imran Khan (the present one, not the politician) also was on this list with 5 straight wins from his debut. But his 6th Test was drawn. He now has 6 wins and a draw in his 7 Tests.
Adam Gilchrist had 15 straight wins from his debut in Nov 1999 to Feb 2001 (before the Australian juggernaut was halted by VVS, Dravid and Harbhajan). He finished with 72 wins, 11 losses and 12 draws in his 95 Tests (not counting the one against the ICC XI).
The runner-up is England's Tim Bresnan who had 13 straight wins from his debut in May 2009 to May 2012 followed by a draw against the West Indies. He probably will not play in Tests again, and has 15 wins, 4 losses and 4 draws in his career of 23 Tests.
Here is a list of those whose Test careers had over 80 percent wins as on May 15, 2016:
The only current players are Imran Khan and Jackson Bird. Again, there are relatively few well-known players here (though it does include Loxton and Saggers from the 1948 Australians) besides Hodge and Lehmann from more recent times.

I wanted an air rifle I could shoot on my 35 yard rangel at home. I went to GTA AIR web site and started learning. I wanted an air rifle I could hold and shoot just like I shoot my powder burners. I soon learned springers and nitro pistons require different shooting techniques and may be difficult to shoot off of a sandbag rest. I finally decided that a precharged pnuematic was just the ticket. The down side, at least twice as much as I wanted to spend. So I saved longer and purchased a Benjamin Discovery package that included a pump. The Discovery operates at 2000 psi so pumping is easy. The Disccovery is deadly accccurate, easy to shoot, and plenty powerfull. I highly recomend it . I put an LDC (lead dust catcher) on it to make it backyard friendly.

A Staircase is a series of steps connecting different levels in a Building. In a House with more than one level, the Staircase will be used everyday, a number of times. Hence the Staircase should be comfortably designed for the users. The Staircase is usually accessed from the Dining Room.
Here, I have explained the Vastu Guidelines for a Staircase. Since Vastu is a science, there is logic and reasoning behind every guideline. As an Architect, I have attempted toexplain these guidelines rationally and scientifically, so that you can decide what you want to follow and what you don't.
Avoid internal staircase in the corners or the centre of the house: The Reason – If an internal staircase is in the corner, the room from which it is accessed cannot be used properly. Similarly, if the staircase is in the center, a lot of useful circulation space is wasted.
The first flight should be from East to West or North to South. The Reason – This will ensure that the lower steps will be in the East or North, while the higher steps will be in the West or South. Thus the useful, morning light from the East and the constant light from the North will not be blocked by the Steps.
Turn clockwise when turning into the next flight: The Reason – Since most people are right handed, they tend to hold the handrail on the right hand side. So when they turn onto the next flight, it makes sense to continue holding the right handrail, for which the next flight should be on the right side which means one has to turn clockwise.
There should be odd number of risers in a staircase: For example 15, 17, 19 are acceptable. The Reason – Since most people are right handed, they generally put their right foot first, while climbing a staircase. So when they end the climb, they prefer to end on the right foot. This is possible only when there are odd numberof steps. It is for this reason that the right foot is equated with gain, the left with loss.
Avoid circular or spiral staircase: The Reason – A circular staircase takes up and wastes a lot of space, especially in the corners and in the rooms adjacent to it. A spiral staircase is very uncomfortable to climb and not very safe. Also the space below it is not very usable and there is the risk of bumping into it as there is no proper head room.Avoid rooms under a staircase:The Reason – Often, people use the space below a staircase for small rooms like Toilets, Safe, Puja etc. But every time people climb the steps, a person using the room below gets an uneasy feeling of somebody stamping on their head. He doesn't feel safe either, as if the whole thing will collapse on him.
The ideal colours of the staircase area are light colors. The Reason– One can see the steps clearly, if the whole area is painted a light color as this reflects light.

I'm about to rent a house in first floor. It has SE main door, a big balcony on North, vacant on East, North and South. Another apartment on west side. However the stairs rise on South and go to North. Stairs is on the east wall. Is it a vaasthu violation. What is the remedy?
Hi Rachen,
When looking at rented premises, you need not be such a stickler to Vastu, as it will not be your permanent dwelling place. Yer of ou can compromise if at least 60% of the things are according to vastu, since you are a believer of vastu
I have stair case in north side of my house going towards north and then turning towards south. Is this direction of stairs is ok or if not ow can i rectify this without any construction work. Pls suggest
Hi Nishchal,
A staircase is meant to connect two floors. It should be placed in the most suitable position so that space is not wasted. So it does not matter in which direction it goes as long as it serves it's purpose efficiently.
Hello Sir,
I am planning a house on a corner plot, its 18mt X 14mt.Roads on the south and East.want to make commercial and garage on ground floor and residential on first and second, due to limitations my stairs will start exactly in front of the main door on east.
length on the south 18 mt
length on the east 14 mt
1. I want to keep my main door on eastern side but stairs will start after 1.2 mt from the door.
2. garage towards north.
3. one shop towards south side.
HI Vivek,
As long as there is maneuverable space around the main door, it is fine. Since your staircase starts 1.2m from the main door, it should be okay.
Hello Sir,
I am trying to buy a home which has east facing door, when i open the door the internal stairs on on right hand side. the stairs are attached to the north corner but raising towards north west and turns south to living room. Garage door is facing west from the road. Please let me know if it is suggested to buy such home. this house I am trying to buy is actually in US. I am worried if i would have any health concerns or financial concerns.
Thank you for your advise.
Hi Kalyan,
There is a simple solution when you have fears or concerns. Go with your family to the house. Spend some time in the house and trust your gut-instinct. If you and the other family members feel that you get a positive vibe from the house, go for it. Otherwise avoid it. Moreover, vastu principles are applicable to India and are based on the sun and wind directions. So You need not even look at a house that is in sync with vastu principles in the US.
hi sir,
i want to construct my duplex house in north facing flat(two sides road,like east & north).the main gate facing north and house main entrance door facing east. in front of main door is parking.staircase is besides entrance, The stairs are going from west to east and then we have a landing where there is a window in the east and then again the next flight of stairs is from east to west (is in north wall nearly parking).under the staircase is dining.
Is this ok for vastu or should we change the plan for stairs?
Hi Elakya,
A dining under a staircase will feel cramped. If it is only a small part of the dining, then it is okay.
My house renovation is going on.
In my house there is 1 step at entrance.
and 1 step between hall and living room.
Please suggest me if this is ok.
and please suggest step colours also.
Hi Urmi,
One step is okay but if you feel that people do not notice it and tend to trip on a regular basis then you must think of making the hall and living at one level. For colours, refer to my posts on Colours and paints.
Hello sir
I bought a house which has a a reserve underground water tank under the staircase.what are the remedies for its harmful effects?
Hi Sunithi,
According to me it is okay. But if it is inside the house, it can be a potential problem as water could overflow, there could be leaks and it can cause some dampness in the house.
We have staircase on roof to go the upper roof. Actually it is duplex kind of, so 75% covers the duplex portion and 25% is vacate and open which connect the North and East. In that Vacate place we have Iron staircase in Northeast direction to go to the upper roof.
By any chance, is there any Vastu Dosh? Because Staircase are outside of the Room.
Hi Yash,
A spiral staircase does not take up much space but is not very comfortable to use. If it is used only once in a while for accessing the roof, then it is okay to have it in the NE corner.
Sir,I have plot size of 40×40 my builder construced the staircase at NORTHEAST and other rooms/hall/kitchen/toilets all fine except staircase please advise what to do.Thanking you.Awaiting your reply.
Hi Jayakumar,
THere is nothing to be done as the staircase is an important connector between the rooms and floors. But just make sure that there are ample windows on the north and east sides.
Hi Sir
Our house work is in progress. Earlier there were 17 steps together, but to keep the washbasin under one landing, they made it 18. Now only we've noticed it. We have stairs to terrace from first floor. Heard that as per vasthu the total number shiuld be odd. Can we add the stairs to the terrace( internal we construct a small stairs room) make the number odd? That construction is going on. So we can do something now.
Hi Arun,
If it will give you some mental peace, then go ahead. But in reality it is not necessary to follow this rule strictly.
My proposed house (a north facing site) has staircase on eastern side,and covered car parking on north side.It has North- north east entry to the staircase/house.Although it is more or less a rectangular building it has a small cut/truncation/openness (there is slightly more open space on north-north east and east- north east) to have sun exposure.Is it ok?
Hi Chakrapani,
If you have more open space in the NE corner, it is ideal.
Hello Sir,
My existing east facing house has an external staircase at SE corner (immediate left after we enter the main gate). Steps start from North towards South. My kitchen is in SE direction. Now, I am building a first floor and want to make this as an internal staircase without disturbing the existing structure. The entrance to this staircase will be from living room. Idea is to build an elevation to close the external staircase and also build wall from entrance main gate till entrance of house to close the staircase. Is it ok from vastu perspective? Appreciate and thank you for your time.
Hi Vijay Kumar,
Since you are planning to build a double height wall for the staircase in the SE side, it is okay. But make sure that the light to the kitchen is not compromised by your changes.

Hi Sathish,
The staircase position is not going to affect your well-being. The most important aspect is enough light and ventilation in the house.
Sir I have a south facing house with entrance in the south west, we have a back door to a garden in the east. However just above the back door is a bathroom for 1st floor. I read some articles and it seems to be wrong as per vastu. If I cant make any physical changes is there any remedy???
Hi Subha,
How can you have a bathroom over the back door. Is it jutting beyond the back door? In any case you cannot make any changes, so why stress yourself over it?
Sir, my house is on west face, gate is on south-west, one step of stair is on enterance, stair is on north-west corner, after stairs bathroom on north wall, then kitchen on north wall and in last drawing room touces north -east-south direction having door of drawing room facing main gate, tell me any remedies for any type of vastu dosh

Thanks for ur superb suggestions in the post.
However,My main staircase is in straight line with my both main gates of the house n office. Is this wrong if yes then please suggest a rememdy without having to break it.
Hi Chintu,
If there is a little space for you to stand between the staircase and entrance, then that is sufficient.
MY house stairs is situated at east north direction. T.here is no alternative to change the direction of stairs. Pl.tell me the vastu solution regarding this problem
Hi VK Gupta,
There is no need to stress out. Just make sure there are many windows in the NE corner.
Dear Sir,
I have land area 23.5'x 37′. On west side and north side 6 mtr road is there. I am planning to build house facing towards west. I am planning to construct staircase at north-east corner first climbing towards west because i wanted to keep hall at west side and kitchen at east side.But as per vastu staircase suppose to be in clock wise direction. Kindly guide us in which corner will be suitable for staircase.
Hi Sukhdev,
In Vastu, there are no hard and fast rules. So if the only option for your staircase is the one you proposed, then go ahead. Only make sure that there are enough windows in the NE corner.
Hi Sir,
I have a plot 20ft by 30ft. 20ft side facing south road. We are planning duplex. Please suggest on External stair case from parking to 1st floor. Since the road is on south side,not sure how to manage stairs as per Vastu. As per plan the Steps will start from south go towards North . Is this acceptable ?
Please help.
Hi Narayana Murthy,
When there are limitations like south orientation, you need to be practical. There is nothing wrong in having a staircase starting from the South towards the North. In fact that is the best solution for a South facing Site and the 'best solution' is always acceptable in Vastu.
Dear Sir,
Namaskar.. We are building a house in a east facing plot. Stairs are planned in the South-east corner. The stairs arrangement is as follows..
1) Steps starts at about 8 feet distance (on east side, in South-East corner) from the house.
2) First climb from North to south till south side border line of the house (about 3 steps).
2) Then turn and climb towards west (climb from east to west) till near east side wall of the house (about 7 steps)
3) Then turn towards north and climb till top of the house (about 7 steps).
Please study this arrangement and suggest.
Thank you very much..
Hi Sambasivarao,
The stairs that you have proposed is a U-shaped staircase. You can read more about it in my blog on staircases. Since it is ina corner of your house it seems to be okay. But the efficiency of a staircase depends on the way it is connected to the upper floor and the riser, tread dimensions.
There is a stairway, exactly opposite to the main door of my east facing flat. It leads to other floor flats. It rises in east and turns to west. Is it fine or in-auspisious?
Hi Rashmi,
This is common in apartment buildings and not something you have control over. You need to only be sure that there is a free movement space from your main door to the lobby. And that is okay.
every vastu book i have studied that north east staircase will damage the financial position and health, is there any logic behind it ,is there any example of such thing or people are being scared.
Hi Jeetendra,
To prevent you from loading the NE corner with a heavy structure that will block the light, Vastu advisers will say that it will cause a problem. So if you ensure that there is ample light and ventilation inspite of the presence of a staircase, then there is no harm in having it there. Sometimes the site orientation and restrictions force us to have it in the so called 'inauspicious' corner.
Respected Sir,
I have plot size (29×60)feet. I want to construct 1200 sft home. I have bring home plan from Plan Consultant about 1200 Sft. He has suggested exit door in east side in dinning room, Please suggest me, it is positive for me & in which place the stair case will be construct. I am waiting for kind suggestion.
Arun Kumar Dash
Hi Arun Kumar,
The position of the staircase depends on the plan of the house and your requirement – whether you want it to be within the house or accessible from outside etc. So consult with your architect and finalise it. An east exit door is okay.
I am constructing a house. Total no. Of steps are 19 and 20 th steps will be First floor.
We shall consider this as 19 or 20 steps?
Hi Vivek,
It is considered as 20 steps as you will be climbing 20 steps.
sir ,we are constructing our staircase section in N-E corner,having its own separate section, i.e meant for connecting two floors of the house.but what is bothering me is the position of my main door….can we construct main door in the central part of our house,i.e most probably brahamsthan.
is it okay or it is having some vastu dosh
Hi Kamal,
Brahmasthan is the exact centre of the site. From your description, i do not think that your main door will be in that position.
Hi sir
I have constructed a house on the existing ground floor ( 1st & 2nd )but my stairs is in north east as i couldn't change it, does it create any problem. As vastu it is not recommended.
Hi Balasubramanya,
It is okay. But make sure that there are windows in the NE corner.
I have purchased a 150 Sq yds land in a gated community and the builder is constructing a duplex house on the said land.It is a west facing plot, west side being road. In order to big kitchen with dining table within the kitchen area, we modified the builder's plan to build toilet cum bathroom under staircase landing with the flooring being slightly lower than the house flooring so that there is enough head room. In the above deviation should roof under the bathroom be flat or left as it is?
Hi NR Jaganathan,
Lowering the toilet floor is not ideal since people will tend to trip as they step in. But you needed to do it so as to accommodate the head room. This is why tioilets are generally not advisable under stairs. Now ideally the ceiling of the toilet should be flat but I doubt if it will be possible in your case. So leav it as it is.
anti clock wise stairs good or bad.
Hi Geetha,
Good if it helps you to reach the next floor without a waste of space. Bad if the placement affects the circulation space around it. But just for your interest, do you realise that if a staircase is clockwise while climbing from ground floor to first floor, then while descending from first floor to ground floor, the movement is anti-clockwise. So does it matter which direction it is????
Hello Sir,
Me and my brother are planning for our new house which is North facing. Our plot size is 30 x 50 ft (1500 sqft each) x 2 = 3000 sqft. we are constructing with common touch up wall. Our stair are in North Side rising from West to East half landing is on Compound and then turn towards east to West. We have dinning below the Stairs. Same plan is for other plot only stair is falling on Common touch up wall. Please suggest is this okay as per Vaastu.
Hi Nitin Gupta,
The location of the staircase depends on the layout of the house. As long as it does not interfere with the arrangement of the rooms and does not eat up too much space, it will be okay. But having a dining roomor any other room underneath is not suitable.
We have skewed plat with corner on N/S/E/W. Front road is South and West Corner. Stair Case planned is on North corner (or bit toward NE side, i mean we have office space on North corner and stair case is beside office towards NE.
Do you see any major Vastu issue with this. aAlso can we have anticlockwise staircase.. as it would save lot of space?
Hi Deepak Kumar,
It does not matter that the staircase is anticlockwise – what matters more is that in its present position and direction, it saves a lot of space. It being in the NE corner is okay as long as there are enough windows and openings provided in the North and East walls and NE corner.
I have west facing plot. and i am planning for the my entrance will north west corner for west facing. and i need detail for stair case.in which direction can we make the stair to first floor . please advice me the best option.
But there is no space for south,North & east
Hi Charli,
A NW entrance is okay. Place the staircase in such a way that it does not waste too much space on all the floors and gives access to the upper floor without wasting much space.
I am planning to construct a house having 42.2 in NE and 40 in NW remaining is 40. Actual dimension is (42.5+40)/2 X 40. As i am planning for a duplex house I have planned for a stairs in the Eastern side leaving NE corner. Please guide me the correctness of the position of the stairs. Stairs will have 19 or 21 raises and raising from North towards South.
Hi Sridhara,
The staircase should be in such a place that it gives access to the upper floor rooms without wasting much space. If it is in the NE corner, then make sure that it does not block out light from this corner.
recently I made a home. it is a east facing house. the staircase is in the east side and I want to make main door under this. Is it good for me or it would be harmful?
Hi Rajender Prasad,
A main door under the staircase is not ideal. It does not look good and the soffit of the staircase can be an obstruction. But if there is ample headroom near the main door and you have no other choice, then go ahead.
I am planning to build a duplex home with a staircase rising next to the common bathroom of 8 ft height that does not touch the ceiling. Can the space above the bathroom be used as a landing area for the staircase do that we can have the second set of risers at the end of bathroom wall on the first floor? This way the bathroom is not technically under the staircase but the space above the bathroom is used as a pathway.
Thank you,
Ramya S
Hi Ramya,
Of course you can. In fact it is good that you are using the space instead of wasting it, plus you need not build a landing as it is already there.
Sir/Mam please help.
1.Stairs end just Left of my bedroom door.ie as i exit my bedroom there are stairs just to the left for going to first floor from ground floor.
My bedroom faces east and is on ground floor.
Small fraction of my room is under the staircase.
Is this correct ? If not what are remedies.
Hi Rohan,
As long as the portion of the room that is under the staircase is not visible from inside the room, it is okay.
At present we r staying in a four bedroom house in second floor this were actually two flats with two bedroom connected to make a single flat we now have bought a two bedroom flat in the third floor its the half size of our current flat. We plan to built a staircase to connect both the floor. This staircase is coming in the north direction of the flat and the stairs are starting from the west going to the east and from there its turning and going from north to tje south. Can you please guide how good or bad this position of staircase is from vaastu point of view and what is the remedy if its not according to vaastu rules.
Hi Anju Pasari,
The staircase position is dictated by it's position within the flat. Ideally it should be somewhere central in order to be able to access all rooms in the upper floor. The directions do not matter, but it should not waste too much space. Consult an architect.
Sir…. Recently we bought a duplex house ( west facing) staircase is on south side . The staircase is anti-clockwise and also, opposite to our house there is a 1000 yard open plot which consist of 5 graveyards( as it was a field to the local family) . Can you please is this normal ? Thanku
Hi Sarika,
The staircase is okay. But a graveyard in front of your house is not so ideal as it can create negative thoughts in your mind. So grow some tall trees in front of your house, so that the view to the graveyard is cut off.
My house is east facing 40×59 . When we enter from the outsider there is a spiral staircase on the left side. This staircase to basement as well as two floors above. The steps are odd in number. Is it a vastu dosh. If yes what is remedy.
Hi Jagmohan,
The only dosh is the spiral configuration of the stairs. It is not suitable for use in accessing 4 floors. A dog legged staircase is the best.
sir i am about to start my new house and i have planned for a spiral staircase
is it really not good to go for it my house is east facing in south facing site
Hi Roopashree,
Avoid a spiral staircase as the main staircase of a house. It can be used as a secondary staircase which is not used very often. You can read about it here. Spiral staircase. Instead opt for a regular staircase as described here. Staircase shapes
hello sir,we have planning to construct the house as parking on the ground floor ,will give first floor on rent n we will stay on second floor .We have planned the entrance door though the lobby which would next connected wid the staircase.Then my question is which is to be considered as the main door? either on ground floor or first n second floors entrance doors.
Hi Supriya,
The entrance door to your second floor house is considered the main door to that house.
we have purchased a commercial site as per compass correction ie,towards north direction, some space is left out on north west corner which has to omitted as per correction ie, rectangle shape. can we have a staircase built on north west corner which is outside the premises and access to first floor.
If so do let me know how it can be done.
Hi Chandrasekhar,
How can you construct anything outside your boundary? If you have some understanding with the next owner, you could go ahead. But it always will be a cause of worry since it will not be legal.
But sir,if we decided to stay on first floor then can we consider entrance door through the lobby placed at ground floor?or we have to consider entrance door at first floor though it is South facing?
Hi Supriya,
The door through which you enter the house is considered the main entrance door. But if that is not suiting you, then you can consider the lobby door as your main door since after entering you it is your private space and staircase. Maybe this way, psychologically you will feel better!
I am planning to build an external staircase to First Floor above water well (secured by grill) in North West due to space constraints in my house plan. Please advise pros and cons as per Vastu.
Hi Joseph,
Obviously, when you have space constraints, you have to make do with the space available. Your proposal is fine except, I am not sure if the grill above the water well is strong enough. If you feel it is quite strong, better cover it with an additional solid metal cover, so that the people stepping over it will not feel insecure about falling.
Dear Sir,
I have Stair Case in North East side of My House going towards east & then turning towards west with 15 risers.Starting point Door & Ending point space.Is it ok?
Hi Seneviratne,
It is okay. But if possible, ensure some windows on the NE walls and hopefully the staircase is open and not enclosed within a room.
sir we are going to build our first house, we decided to place our main door in south facing, and we decided to put the external staircase nearer to south side wall from east to west, it means it will come somewhat nearer to our main door(at a distance of 4 feet from main door it will start), is that good for a house or not???
Hi Buvana,
There is sufficient gap between the staircase and the main door, so it is fine.
We are constructing house in which the staircase comes in north east as our is west facing house.there is no space in south for staircase the flight starts from west to east landing and second flight from east to west. can we have solution for this, can the initial step for staircase be placed in north then turn to west.pls advice
Hi Karthika,
Consult with your architect/engineer. S/He can guide you best depending on the site situation.
Hi Sir,
My house is a 2 story building with 35X55 East facing house and the staircases at SE of the building and have built the headroom on the terrace at SE.
As per the vastu some people says as below.
I should build a pent house at SW which it should be higher than the headroom and am fine as it would be good and small room.
I should build a room which it should connect to the headroom at whole south side and it would a waste & lengthy room, if i have to follow this sadly i have to demolish the headroom.
Please advice how to construct a headroom as per vastu.
Waiting for your prompt response.
Hi Soori,
If you have use for a room, then go ahead and build one in the SW corner. But when deciding the dimensions, think of the future too. You should later be able to use it as a bedroom. There is no need to connect it to the staircase headroom. It can be a stand alone structure.
Sir my house is west facing with a northdoor in first floor. But the south west and north west portion is lower than the north east and south east. Please tell is it ok.
Hi Mamatha,
If there is not much difference in levels it is okay.
Dear Madam.
I have one query. While calculating risers in stair case do we consider landing also as one step.
Hi Veeresh,
Yes the landing is also counted since it is also a step, just that it is bigger.

On the premise that speed blunts the mind, New Zealander Bruce Roscoe decided to make his journey on foot, following a route across the waist of Japan, from the port city of Niigata to Yokohama. By walking, he would discover that "Time isn't lost but found."
Where the late Alan Booth's "Japan walks," collected in "Looking for the Lost," describe the writer's disillusionment at the sight of beauty and quintessence evaporating into industrial ether, Roscoe's inquiries, though not uncritical, generally conclude with a resigned, even grudging acceptance of the way things are.
Many of the towns and rural areas he passes through are little short of blighted. Roscoe discovers a country where "subordination, not coexistence" with nature is the depressing norm. Approaching the city of Takasaki, he comes across the base of a stream, "concreted and strewn with rubbish — plastic drink bottles, vinyl bags — and a white cat lay dead on the footpath. Old futons, tins, and household waste smothered a house at roadside. Other garbage half-buried a car." Crossing a bridge north of Kogetsu, he admonishes that "it's best not to look underneath." Roscoe may not offer much to the prospective tourist, but a great deal for those interested in a journey of inquiry.
Like the picaresque novels of Laurence Sterne and Henry Fielding, Roscoe introduces each chapter with a companionable preamble: "We resume our journey in the snow country," he writes in one of these literary orientations, "where we stumble upon a priceless collection of Western art, learn that Japan is pouring more concrete than even China, and relax to the balm of jazz in an unusual coffee shop."
Roscoe might chuckle at being compared to a musicologist, but music threads its way through this walk, from Wes Montgomery's "Full House" to Penderecki's "Threnody for Victims of Hiroshima." Roscoe riffs on anything that catches the attention of his observant traveler's eye. It takes a few pages to sink in, but there is method and management in what first appears to be free association, an improvised musical notation. A night in a Niigata jazz bar is succeeded by an analysis of Jonathan Swift's "Gulliver's Travels," a note on tombstone dealerships, the watchmakers Seiko, even a chapter on the travel writer Paul Theroux, whom he takes to task for his oddly personal contempt for the Japanese, whom he repeatedly characterizes as "little bowlegged people who can't see without glasses," "evil little fiends," or the even more perplexing, "flawed clockwork toys."
A combination of travel writing, reportage, personal rumination and culture essay, there isn't much that slips the attention of this uncommon traveler. Staying at the Takahan Hotel, where novelist Yasunari Kawabata met a 19-year-old geisha called Matsue, the model for the character Komako in "Snow Country," a line of inquiry inevitably ensues, with Roscoe tracing the story of what became of her. Other encounters are more puzzling. How does one interpret the presence of three severed heads from the Amazonian jungles, a set of skulls with string tied through their eyes and nostrils, sitting on the shelves of a temple the author visits in the fastnesses of Niigata?
There are no highway robbers, menacing bikers or roadside ordinance along these routes, but the way is nonetheless, fraught with abrasive sights, moments of tension. Roscoe is a generous, evenhanded writer, however, giving the people he meets the benefit of the doubt, even when innkeepers are slamming their doors in his face.
Ultimately, Roscoe's Japan is a human landscape. Flawed, immensely diverse, it is never quite the monoculture many foreigners and Japanese, in a cozy collusion suggesting a comfortable mutuality with stereotypes, would like us to believe. As for his journey, given the choice, few of us would take this route, let alone on foot. Taking roads largely reserved for motorized transport, Roscoe acquits himself admirably in the role we assign him of proxy pilgrim.

You should check out Dual Survival. It's not as "pure" a survival show as what Les Stroud does but it's a good show and follows the same sort of idea except that it's two people and they have their own camera man.
ya, i'll definitely have to give it a look.
anybody else stay and watch it after TWD? I thought it ws alright. But, wasn't as good as it looked in the previews. Then again, I was just coming off the high that is The Walking Dead.
Perception is reality. I didn't see the show though.
I just watched episode 2 of American Horror Story and I'm pleasantly surprised at how much better this episode was than the first. Looking forward to catching up on the storyline, not looking forward to waiting a week for every new episode though! :(
I also just watched the entire Season 2 of SOA the last two evenings, and WOW! Easily my favorite show right now... Demonoid doesn't seem to have the full Season 3 in HD, anyone know a link I can find it?
"I hate to be the one to say a todaso but a todaso..."
Yeah I've caught the first 3 episodes of American Horror Story and I gotta say I'm not entirely sold yet. I've got mixed feelings on it. We'll see.
I like the maid though. Like Apollo says perception is reality. So to answer tbihis' question...yes, yes I would. :p
Beer goggles have made me make many questionable decisions.
If its full on hallucination, I'd totally be all in.
i'm horny+you look hot=let's fuck.
watched the first 4 episodes of the wire... fell asleep twice, nearly 3 times.
major snoozefest
I just finished watching Party Down Season 1. It is about disgruntled, struggling actors in LA who work at a catering company to make ends meet. Every week they cater a new party, so there is a ton of cameos. They play loose with the script which means a ton of improvising. It is not very well known, but it gives a few chuckles and at 22 min/episodes there is not much commitment and is worth checking out. Paul Rudd is the producer.
I tried, I really did. The characters didn't bug me, well to a certain point but w/e.
I just couldn't get into it and no show is good enough for a fucking ridiculously long intro song, that isn't very good!
However, Arrested Development is pure comedy gold. It's totally swayed my opinion of Will Arnett for the better.
But, I ain't even going to touch "Up All Night" again. that is complete horseshit.
Also, can someone please tell me why Christina Applegate has lost basically all of her sex appeal? I mean I haven't seen this big of a sex appeal loss since Tara Reid decided to become plasterized.

THE SON of Anglesey cricket legend Matthew Maynard, has died aged 23.
Tom Maynard, who played cricket for Surrey, died on Monday morning after being struck by a District Line train in London.
British Transport Police say there are 'no suspicious circumstances' surrounding the death.
Maynard, who was born in Cardiff, came through the ranks at Glamorgan before following his father in moving to Surrey last summer.
The big-hitting batsman was considered a rising star in the game and earned himself a place on the England Lions tour to Bangladesh and Sri Lanka at the start of this year.
A statement from Glamorgan Cricket Club read: "Glamorgan Cricket are deeply saddened to hear of the tragic death of Tom Maynard. The Club's thoughts are with Matt, Sue and their family at this difficult time.
"Most of our playing and coaching staff were close friends of Tom and understandably are still trying to come to terms with this sad news."
ECB Chairman Giles Clarke said: "This is a very sad day for everyone connected with Surrey County Cricket club and for Glamorgan County Cricket club where Tom spent the early part of his career. Tom was a player of enormous potential who had already represented England Lions and had an exciting future ahead of him.
"Our hearts go out to the Maynard family for their tragic loss and we send them and all Tom's many friends and colleagues within the game our deepest sympathies."

The Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor responds to changes in intake manifold pressure (vacuum). The MAP sensor signal voltage to the PCM varies from below 2 volts at idle (high vacuum) to above 4 volts with the ignition switch ON , engine not running or at wide-open throttle (low vacuum).
If the PCM detects a voltage that is lower than the possible range of the MAP sensor, a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will be set. A signal voltage higher than the possible range of the sensor will also set a DTC. An intermittent low or high voltage will also set DTCs. The PCM can also detect a shifted MAP sensor. The PCM compares the MAP sensor signal to a calculated MAP based on throttle position and various engine load factors. If the PCM detects a MAP signal that varies excessively above or below the calculated value, a DTC will be set. The MAP sensor is also used to measure barometric pressure under certain conditions, which allows the PCM to automatically adjust for different altitudes.
Removal & Installation
- Disconnect the negative battery cable.
- Locate the MAP sensor and remove the retaining screws
- Detach the electrical connector.
- Remove the vacuum hose and lift the MAP sensor from the engine.
- Installation is reverse of the removal procedure.
As with most all engine control sensors used in your vehicle, a thorough and proper test can only be performed by a qualified technician using a scan tool to read the data stream from the PCM. There are a few items a non-professional should check before taking the vehicle to a qualified technician for diagnosis and repair.

A disturbing trend(?) in IT job postings?
I will very freely admit that I don't know what to make of this .. although I am seeing it more and more. While trying to scare-up some new leads for myself, I have lately stumbled upon quite a few so-called "project manager" requisitions which have very different inducements from the usual ping-pong tables and in-the-building espresso bars:
Have you seen this (in America) too? What do you make of it?
I haven't seen any job offers like that but they do seem targeted to a H-1b Visa contractor or a person that never bothered to learn to drive or maintain a vehicle. I'm a little puzzled with the "free repairs to your car if you rent it from us". Is that indicating the person is renting a car while they are employed? If it's a rental why would they be expected to make repairs? Or are they saying they will fix your car if you rent something from them while yours is being repaired? If they are paying for repairs to my vehicle while I rent one that would be interesting. Are they talking oil change? Brakes? replace the clutch? blown engine? tires? It could get expensive very quickly. I have a few vehicles in case my daily driver breaks down, but I'm probably not the person they are targeting
The discounted meals to select restaurants in walking distance is kind of vague, is that an attempt to shorten your lunch time? It wouldn't be something I would turn one job down over another about.
I think it will make sense if you correlate it with the kind of business (and so employees) that these companies have.

How to Transfer Your Domain To a New Registrar
The Issue
Are you having trouble figuring out how to point your domain through your domain registrar's service, so you can have a custom URL for your website? Or maybe you can't find anywhere to add or update the "A (Host)" records?
Don't worry, you can always transfer your domain to another registrar that gives you everything you need to point your domain for your site! Most registrars offer this service nowadays.
Transfer Process
Although the domain transfer process will vary depending on which registrar you're moving your domain to, here are the general steps to take:
1. Find a Registrar You Like (we recommend GoDaddy)
If you don't want to use GoDaddy, you can find a list of top providers here. Just make sure the registrar offers a way for youto manage/update DNS records (also commonly referred to as DNS settings or DNS zones files).
2. Request a Domain Transfer from the New Registrar
Most domain registrars have a process in place to help streamline you transferring your domain to their service. Here's GoDaddy's instructions for example. Every registrar is different though, so we recommend visiting their site and searching for "domain transfer". If the site doesn't have a search feature, and you can't easily find information on how they transfer domains, look for their support contact information and either call or email to find out how they handle domain transfers.
3. Follow Your Registrar's Instructions
The new registrar will guide you on completing the domain transfer from there.
Once your domain transfer is complete, learn how to point your domain for your site!
Have questions or comments about this how-to? Let us know in the comments area below!

" Brand: Breville / Type: Sandwich Maker "
I got this product as a gift and immediately thought: "another one of those that you use it once and put away for ages". I must say I could not be more wrong. After first use I treat this product as an essential and it is left on the cupboard together with my kettle and the toaster. It comes in polish stainless steel with a black, plastic handle. Designed to easily fit two sandwiches. The top plate is adjustable. The "toast" function allows you to cook crispy Panini's and "melt" option for those delicious open sandwiches. Thanks to adjustable height control the product takes just about any size of bread, with as many fillings as you want, even those extra fat baguettes .Both plates are non-stick, which makes it very easy to clean, simply wipe with a damp cloth. Two lights on the top indicate when the power is on (red) and the plates are ready (green). It comes with a handy lock clip on the side for an easy upright storage. The Panini press comes at a reasonable price of around £35 and in my opinion it is definitely worth the money.
I often treat my visitors to delicious toasties just to their taste, as you can experiment with almost endless combinations. This item is excellent for those evenings when you simply have no time to cook a dinner from scratch. The stylish and elegant look of this product makes it a perfect addiction to my kitchen.

The Breville TR40 is a café-style sandwich press. It has a nice modern stainless steel finish and a black plastic handle. It has two non-stick plates on a floating hinge enabling you to toast thicker breads and you can set the top plate on its highest setting enabling you to make cheese on toast.
The power indicator light is orange while warming up and switches to green when it reaches the perfect temperature for cooking.
There is cord storage underneath enabling you to put the sandwich press away neatly.
The sandwich press is large enough to make two regular toasted sandwiches at the same time or one very large toasted sandwich.
It is very easy to keep clean; the whole machine wipes down effortlessly and looks like new.
The Breville TR40 comes with a very handy instruction and recipe book.
~My Experience~
I brought this sandwich press to replace my tired old toasty maker, at first I was a bit nervous about using it as it seemed a little bit complicated. It did not take me long to get used to using it.
When you plug the sandwich maker in the power indicator light on top starts out orange, this shows you that it is in the process of warming up; I use this warming up time to throw my sandwich together. When the sandwich maker is up to temperature the light switches to green. Unlike other sandwich makers there is no need for butter on the outside of your sandwich thanks to the non-stick plates nothing ever sticks, but you can use butter on the outside if that is what you enjoy. I never used the recipe book as I stick to my tried and tested favourite of ham cheese and tomato toasted sandwich, but the recipes in the book did sound very nice.
When using the sandwich press you must remember that the outside of the sandwich press gets very hot and there is the slight chance of getting a burn if you are not careful.
As I mentioned before the non-stick plates are on a floating hinge and can therefore fit extremely thick bread between them for toasting, the small catch on the side holds the plates up to the desired height and stops you from squashing your sandwich flat (I have squashed a few sandwiches by forgetting to use the catch they still taste nice but are only a few millimetres thick) When I first used the sandwich press I thought the height adjustment catch seemed a bit flimsy, but I've had no trouble with it and it is still going strong.
The sandwich press cooks the outside of your sandwich to a beautiful golden finish and the inside is wonderfully melted. I always use a wooden spatula to slide my sandwich out of the press as I don't want to risk scratching the non-stick finish on the plates. My children love to use this sandwich press and I find it invaluable when its school holidays as it enables me to get some hot food into the children while they are passing through the house.
In conclusion I would recommend this sandwich press to anyone, it is easy to use, nice to look at and makes wonderful toasted sandwiches. The price does seem a bit high when you compare it to other toasted sandwich makers but in my opinion it is well worth the extra money as it has cooked hundreds of sandwiches with little or no messing about and is still going strong and I expect to get many years of tasty sandwiches from it.
I purchased this sandwich press from Comet for £34.99 last year and it is currently available at www.amazon.com for the same price.
Thanks for reading.

PORT ARTHUR – The Lamar State College-Port Arthur Seahawks men's basketball team will take off on Nov. 1 for a Florida tournament, hoping to start a run that leads them to the NJCAA National Tournament in Kansas next March.
Lamar State-Port Arthur released its 2013-14 schedule this week with news that the season would open at the Select Therapy Invitational in Pensacola on Nov. 1-2. The Seahawks, who finished with a 21-win season under first-year head coach Lance Madison this past season, will take on Gulf Coast State at 5:30 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 1, with a game on Saturday, Nov. 2 against Pensacola State at 7:30.
"Florida is a great region for NJCAA teams and we'll see some great competition while we are over there," Madison said. "We're looking at every game as an opportunity to get ready for the conference games that are ahead of us."
In fact, the Hawks will see their first NJCAA Region XIV game with a road trip to Tyler Junior College on Nov. 26. The game tips off at 7:30 p.m.
"Every year there are different challenges as you play conference games," Madison said. "We have a good group of returning players and so that makes how we approach games different than last year." Madison came into the recruiting season late last season as he took the Lamar State-Port Arthur job with no one returning from the prior season's program. This year, the Hawks have six sophomores back from last year's team.
The Seahawks will host a New Year's Classic on Dec. 30-31, hosting games against El Centro College at 6 p.m. on the 30th and Pensacola State at 4 p.m. on the 31st. Mineral Area College challenges Pensacola State in the first day of the tournament at 4 p.m., while Mineral Area gets El Centro at 2 p.m. on the second day. Mineral Area advanced to the NJCAA national tournament last season, making this the second year the Seahawks have hosted a team in their tournament who had accomplished that feat the season prior.
After the holiday break, the Hawks get into Region XIV play hardcore, opening up against Bossier Parish Community College on the road on Jan. 4 before hosting their first home conference game with a contest against Navarro College at 7 p.m. on Jan. 8.
Overall, the Hawks have 18 home games this season. All home and away games, starting with the Nov. 26 conference game against Tyler JC, will be broadcast live with video at the Seahawks website, athletics.lamarpa.edu.
Lamar State-Port Arthur offers an All-Season Pass for $100, allowing the pass holder entrance to all home basketball and softball games during the 2013-14 school year. That equates to a savings of $75 compared to paying gate fees the day of games. Parking at the Carl Parker Multipurpose Center and Martin Field, where the Seahawks softball team play, are always free. Students, faculty and staff are admitted free to all LSC-PA events.

Skin Care and Diseases
Shelf life of suntan lotion
Is there an actual life of tanning/sunblock after opening the bottle? My girlfriend insists upon replacing it year to year saying that after a year,it turns into a moisturizer rather than a protectant.
If you look on the label and/or the bottom of the container you will see an expiration date for the preparations that you have purchased. These are dates that suggest optimum activity, and potency can be guaranteed until that date if the bottle or container is not opened. Once it is opened, deterioration is accelerated, and even though there are antibacterial agents / stabilizing agents in the preparation, they do tend to deteriorate. I think your girlfriend is probably correct in replacing suntan preparations on an annual basis so as to guarantee potency and expected results. As to what happens with the break-down products I think you would have to contact the manufacturer; but I would agree with her that maintaining fresh material is the best policy.

"Sincere forgiveness isn't colored with expectations that the other person apologize or change. Don't worry whether or not they finally understand you. Love them and release them. Life feeds back truth to people in its own way and time."
"Do not brood over your past mistakes and failures as this will only fill your mind with grief, regret and depression. Do not repeat them in the future."
"Forget about the consequences of failure. Failure is only a temporary change in direction to set you straight for your next success."
"You cannot control what happens to you, but you can control your attitude toward what happens to you, and in that, you will be mastering change rather than allowing it to master you."
"I have noticed even people who claim everything is predestined, and that we can do nothing to change it, look before they cross the road."

What Is The Mauna Kea Mountain, And What Makes It Unique?
What is the Mauna Kea Mountain? What makes it unique? What should you know about it?
This mountain on the Big Island of Hawaii is the only place in the South Pacific where ice forms naturally. Some years the entire summit of the mountain is covered with ice. In fact on rare occasions you can actually ski there!
The bottom of the mountain is covered with plant life, including mossy, trees, and grass. As you work your way up the mountain, you'll notice that the pavement stops and you're forced to travel on a dirt trail. The best way to do this is to rent a four-wheel-drive vehicle. On your way up you'll see Hale Pohaku. This is an area where many scientists who work on the mountain live. Then when you're almost to the top, you'll see Lake Waiau. Only two other American lakes are higher in altitude than this one. Once you get to the top, you'll be mesmerized. The view is breathtaking and the atmosphere will take your breath, too. Keep in mind that you're some 13,796 feet above sea level. Looking down, you can see the entire island. It will appear miniscule to you in comparison to the size of the mountain.
Mauna Kea is one of the best such observatories in the world. It is able to get above 40 percent of the Earth's atmosphere to study the sky and the ground. In fact, the air is so thin there, that the people who work in the observatories must go down to sea level every three or four days in order to regain their sanity and mind. The air can have a negative affect on a brain over time.
You'll also notice Mauna Kea State Park while you're on the mountain. This is a park that sits part-way up the mountain. You can walk around here and have a picnic. You can even camp here over night, but you need to be sure to make your reservations in advance because they're popular.

GAYAZA - Twenty-one students from 21 different schools around the country will each win a fully-paid scholarship from MTN Uganda this year following the launch of the annual three-week Y'ello Care staff initiative.
The kickoff of this year's drive was launched at Gayaza High School on Friday, with Mengo S.S, Mt. St. Mary's Namagunga, Kings College Budo, and Ndejje S.S in attendance.
Y'ello Care, organized every year, involves the telecom's staff getting physically involved in activities that uplift communities around them through financial, physical and emotional contributions.
This year's campaign, themed Investing in Education, has its focus on ICT in education, a critical area that features in MTN's vision: "To lead in the delivery of a bold new digital world to our customers."
Along the same lines, the telecom company – partnered by Gayaza High School – launched an e-learning platform in June 2012 that enables students from different schools across the country to access educational material from the recommended national syllabus as well as other relevant material.
The firm's CEO Mazen Mroue said that 50 schools are participating to win the 12 available scholarships.
So what does it take?
Each school will register at least five students to take part in an online aptitude exam, with 50 questions to be answered correctly in the time if one hour and 15 minutes.
"The aptitude test will be marked by the system and results provided instantly – in real time," Mazen pointed out.
"The tests will be done at regional hub schools where participating students and schools will converge on June 14."
On the same day, mentorship and career guidance classes will also be conducted for participating students.
The hub schools for the regional activations this year are Makerere College for central, Mwiri College for the eastern, Mvara Secondary School for northern and Bweranyangi Girls School for western.
"The scholarships have been split equally among regions to make 20 but one additional special to make the 21," he added.
As part of a drive to generate positive content for the e-learning platform, MTN Uganda will also initiate a competition on its Facebook page with the objective of acquiring innovative content and applications to support Uganda schools e-learning platform.
The deputy headmistress of Gayaza High School, Robinah Kizito said that it is such a great honour that MTN elected to launch this year's drive at their school.
"As Gayaza, we are proud to be partners with MTN and we thank MTN for supporting us so we can spread out to other schools in different regions of Uganda.
"We hope the ministry of education will come in to support this initiative by encouraging students and teachers through the country to use the Universal Secondary School E-learning Platform [USSEP]," she said.

People in the close-knit community of Big Bear are mourning the loss of a great guy, who unexpectedly left this earth on Jan. 29, 2013.
Born on April 9, 1959, in Santa Monica, Calif., Richard had a great pleasure in telling people that while he might have been born in Santa Monica, he was conceived in Japan.
Richard was lauded by Interiors, the company where he worked for nearly a decade. Interiors posted this comment the day following his untimely death: "It is with great sadness that we share with you the loss of one of our Interiors family. Richard Smith - our colleague, designer, and most of all, beloved friend - passed away suddenly on Tuesday the 29th. All of us at Interiors extend our heartfelt thoughts and prayers to Richard's family and friends, especially to another Interiors family member, Richard's partner, Paul Nuck. We will always remember Richard's infectious laugh, sense of humor and his kindness. We are grateful that he shared his creativity, talent - and most of all, his friendship - with us for the past nine years. We love you, Richard!"
Richard is survived by son Kenny Smith (wife Katie) and his grand-daughter Raelyn Sue, was born Feb. 2, 2013. The thought of this child, which made him a Grandpa, brought so much happiness and joy to Richard. He is also survived by his brother Gary Smith and wife (Shawn) and a niece (Kara) and nephew (Blaine), brother Steve Smith and wife (Anita). Besides his entire family at Interiors, Mr. Smith is also survived by his life partner, Paul Nuck.
Richard was preceded in death by his father Nelson Smith four years ago and his mother, Ginger Smith in October of 2012.
In his youth, Richard marched with the Velvet Knights Drum and Bugle Corps. He marched in the horn section and although he couldn't play a note, friends say he faked it very well. He later went to work for Visser's Florist and Greenhouses in Anaheim, where he worked for them as a manager for more than 20 years.
Richard moved to Big Bear 15 years ago and worked at The Emerald Forest for several years before continuing his love for design, and then landed his dream job of Interior Designing for Interiors for the past 10 years. Besides his dedication to his work, Richard was an avid gardener and will be remembered forever for his touching, infectious smile that was forever on his face. Richard was complimented numerous times for his talent and great eye for interior design, and was forever dedicated to always creating that certain look for his customers. At Richard's request, there will be no service, but a celebration of his life to honor him will be held during his favorite season of the year, Spring.
Big Bear, according to many, will feel the loss of Richard, but more personally, his partner Paul Nuck, obviously devastated at the loss of Richard, gave a final comment to his love. "Sweet Journeys, Baby!"

Davy Crockett Reservoir - 2005 Survey Report
Prepared by Bruce Hysmith and John H. Moczygemba
Inland Fisheries Division
District 2-A, Pottsboro, Texas
This is the authors' summary from a 23-page report. For a copy of the complete report, use the download link in the sidebar.
Fish populations in Davy Crockett Reservoir were surveyed in 2005 using an electrofisher and trap nets and in 2006 using gill nets. Habitat was surveyed in 2005. This report summarizes the results of the surveys and contains a management plan for the reservoir based on those findings.
Reservoir Description
Davy Crockett Reservoir is a 355-acre impoundment located on Dixon and Sandy Creeks approximately 14 miles northeast of Bonham. Water level has remained within 3 feet of the spillway since 2001. Davy Crockett Reservoir has moderate, and increasing, productivity. Habitat features consisted mainly of native emerged vegetation and native submerged vegetation, especially along the shoreline and in the two main bays in the upper end.
Management History
Important sport fish included channel catfish, largemouth bass, and crappies. The management plan from the 2001 survey report included a recommendation to discontinue stocking Florida largemouth bass, which were stocked in 1997-1999. After 3 consecutive years of stocking, introduction of Florida alleles into the native largemouth bass population was unsuccessful. A 14-to 18-inch slot length limit for largemouth bass was implemented in 1996. A spring and fall creel survey in 2001 revealed most anglers sought to catch largemouth bass, followed by channel catfish, and crappie. Anglers did not harvest under-the-slot largemouth bass, as expected. Overall angling pressure during the spring and fall of 2001 was low. Habitat surveys have revealed an increase in emerged and submerged vegetation in this reservoir.
Fish Community
- Prey species: Electrofishing catch of gizzard shad was high, and over half the gizzard shad were available as prey. Electrofishing catch of bluegills was high, and they provided excellent prey.
- Channel catfish: Gill net catch of channel catfish was low, but the entire sample population was legal-size and in excellent condition. There was little evidence of recruitment of young channel catfish. Growth was good.
- Largemouth bass: Electrofishing catch of largemouth bass was lower; but because of the slot length limit, there were good numbers of fish 14 inches and larger. Largemouth bass had adequate growth rates and were in good condition.
- Crappies: Abundance was good, growth was adequate, and body condition of fish > 11 inches continued to be good for white crappie. Black crappie are routinely sampled in this reservoir, but in low numbers. A few were collected in this survey.
Management Strategies
- Stock advanced channel catfish at 12.5/acre in 2006 (if available), 2007, and 2008.
- Evaluate with routine gill net survey in 2010. Stock adult threadfin shad at 1/acre each spring from 2007 to 2009.
- Encourage U.S. Forest Service to install and maintain lighting at the boat ramp and pier.
- Conduct supplemental electrofishing for largemouth bass in fall of 2006.
- Conduct general monitoring with electrofisher, trap nets, and gill nets in 2009-2010.
- Conduct a habitat survey in 2009.
