KARACHI: While the Acid Control and Acid Crime Prevention Bill 2010 still awaits the approval of the president, two more young women became the victims of acid throwing in Surjani Town on Sunday.
According to DSP Abdul Fateh Sangri, the offender, identified as Kamran, threw acid on teenage girls, Zarin and Erum, at Erum's house in Sector 5 D. They were taken to the burns ward of the Civil hospital. Zarin was treated and sent home while Erum, who was received more burns, will take at least 40 days to recover, after which she will undergo a surgery, according to Dr Dabeerur Rehman, the ward in charge.
According to Zarin's family, the incident occurred when they went to Surjani Town – their old neighborhood for a visit.
"On our way we suspected that someone was following us," said Zarin's grandfather, Islamuddin. "So we got off at Erum's house first because it was the nearest." He said that the family had been sitting inside for a short while when there was a knock at the door. "Both the girls went to open the gate," said the grandfather. "As soon as they opened the gate, Kamran threw acid on them and ran away."
The intended target was Zarin, but Erum received most of the burns because she tried to stop Kamran by holding his hand and protect her friend.
Senior medico-legal officer, Dr Aftab Channar said that Erum sustained 25 per cent burns while Zarin sustained 15 per cent. Both the girls' faces and foreheads were also affected.
Islamuddin said that Kamran, who also lived in the same neighbourhood as Erum, wanted to marry Zarin and also sent over marriage proposals twice, but the family refused because "she was still a teenager."
The family had moved to Ayub Goth, near Sohrab Goth, around 1.5 years ago and had fixed Zarin's marriage with someone else.
Kamran was picked up by the police on Sunday night. He confessed to the crime, said DSP Fateh Sangri. His defence was that the family compelled him to do it.
"I asked the family for Zarin's hand in marriage repeatedly," said Kamran. "But they always refused. Sometimes they would give the excuse of her age, sometimes different sects, and other times they said that she was studying. So, I decided that if she can't be mine, she cannot be anyone else's as well." He insisted that Zarin's family were equally punishable for the act as he was because they compelled him to act this way.
The police registered an FIR under the Pakistan Penal Code on Zarin's request. The police said that they believed that Kamran had an accomplice. "He came in a rickshaw," said DSP Sangri. "We are trying to find out who his aide was. We will present him to court after we arrest him."
According to Sangri, the Acid Control and Acid Crime Prevention Bill, passed by the parliament this year, calls for a prison term from 14 years to life imprisonment and fines of up to Rs1 million for the perpetrator of the crime.

Weston Bessette Quartet to Play Town Hall Theater, 3/2
Described as playing music that "appeals not only to jazz and blues lovers but also to folks that are naturally drawn to music with a great groove," the Weston Bessette Quartet will perform in the intimate Town Hall Theater Cabaret on March 2.
The group incorporates instrumental jazz and blues styles of the mid-20th century, including original music and covers written in the styles of artists such as John Coltrane, MiLes Davis, Art Blakey, Charles Mingus, as well as choice selections from the Great American Songbook.
Singer and pianist Helen Weston fronts the group. The Bristol native has performed and directed many theatrical productions, and has been teaching music for over 20 years. She's joined by Eric Bessette, tenor sax and backup vocals, Andrew B. Smith on bass, and Matt Davis on drums.
"Helen is one of the most talented people I've ever known," says THT artistic director Douglas Anderson. "She's been performing in the area her entire life, in various bands and in all kinds of musical productions, and it's great to see her branch out in this new direction."
The Weston Bessette Quartet will perform on Friday, March 2, at 7:00 pm in the Byers Studio on THT's lower level. Tickets are $10, and may be purchased at 382-9222, www.townhalltheater.org, at the THT Box office, or at the door, if available.

Auto Racing
Pocono working to improve track
LONG POND, Pa. - Pocono Raceway keeps taking hits. Often criticized by drivers for unnecessary 500-mile races and for clogging two spots on the Sprint Cup schedule, the 2 1/2 -mile triangle track is now deemed by some unsafe after an accident involving Kasey Kahne in the June race. The rally cry of "shorten the races" has morphed into "make them safer." Track president Brandon Igdalsky is listening - and he's promising to do what it takes to improve the track."Do we need to make changes? Yes," he said. Greg Biffle offered the harshest critique in a recent Sports Illustrated story, saying "they're going to kill somebody there." He added: "If they don't change that racetrack - maybe not next year, maybe not three years from now - they'll hurt somebody there." Igdalsky wants the feedback - even as he believes Biffle overstated the danger - and already has started planning safety improvements. The track is adding more SAFER barriers in time for next year's race and would like to install a catch fence along the non-grandstand areas. The barriers would be installed along the inside wall between turns 1 and 2 and down the "Long Pond" stretch. The barriers, a combination of steel and foam, will replace the current guard rail system. SAFER barriers are currently in place at each of NASCAR's oval tracks and are being installed on the road course at Watkins Glen. Kahne was involved in a huge scare in the June race when he lost control of his car in the grass, then went airborne and into the trees that line the track. Had the car sailed higher, Kahne would have flipped out of the track. Igdalsky has taken a bigger role as his grandfather, track owner Joseph Mattioli, scales back his duties. Igdalsky helped bring corporate sponsorship to the races and the first trucks race Saturday, and has an eye on bringing back an IndyCar Series race. "We're making some noise," Igdalsky said. Pocono Raceway had corporate sponsorship for its June Cup race for the first time since 1996. Pocono's June race had been called the Pocono 500 since 1997. Mattioli said last year that Pocono didn't have sponsorship. "I don't need the money, and if you don't need the money, what the (heck) is the sense of sponsorship?" he had said. "We call all the shots. All the VIPs on race day are our people, not the sponsor's people." He said before Saturday's trucks race the sponsorship package "was so nice we couldn't refuse it."

So far so good. Purchased for use on both a full sized SUV and RV. Quality for the money is as good or better than racks twice as much in my opinion. Also nice to not have to buy large wheel/tire trays for the 4 inch or larger fat bike. Locking devices could be designed to be stronger, still will work as a protector to a degree from theft. Good product!

return CultureInfo.CurrentUICulture.TextInfo.IsRightToLeft;
In unmanaged code, you need to dig deeper in the locale structure to see if it RTL or not. This is a simple C++ code snippet:
#include <Windows.h>
bool IsLanguageRTL( void )
LOCALESIGNATURE localesig;
LANGID languageID=GetUserDefaultUILanguage();
if (GetLocaleInfoW(languageID,LOCALE_FONTSIGNATURE,(LPWSTR)&localesig,
(sizeof(localesig)/sizeof(wchar_t))) && (localesig.lsUsb[3]&0x08000000))
return true;
return false;
I hope this helps!

Phoenix Racing press release
Busch Finishes 10th in DRIVE4COPD 300
Last-Lap Accident in Nationwide Series' Season Opener Thwarts Busch's Bid for Victory
Kurt Busch was leading Saturday's DRIVE4COPD 300 NASCAR Nationwide Series race at Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway with the checkered flag in his sights before a multi-car crash dashed his hopes for victory.
Busch had his No. 1 HendrickCars.com Chevrolet Impala out front off turn four on the final lap of the season-opening Nationwide Series race. Just a few hundred yards separated him from his fourth career Nationwide Series win and his first at Daytona. But the gaggle of cars running three-wide as their drivers vied for the lead touched off a chain-reaction crash that collected Busch and left him a disappointing 10th when the smoke cleared.
"We were up front, leading laps and doing exactly what James Finch (team owner) would've wanted," said Busch, who was one of 11 drivers caught up in the last-lap crash. "We took the white (flag) leading and had the lead halfway down the backstretch. Everybody was side drafting and we (Kurt and Kyle Busch) got separated. I went to crowd the outside lane and didn't know that there were two cars up there. I thought it was just a single line. I was trying to side draft to get the best finish I could at the end. Everybody was racing to the end, but there are a lot of torn up cars. That's everybody being full throttle there at the end."
Busch started the race in 14th place and wasted no time positioning himself at the front of the field. He climbed to second on lap eight and moved into the lead on lap 28, two laps before the first caution flag waved for debris. After a quick pit stop for four tires and fuel, Busch returned to the track in the lead, which was a familiar spot for the 2004 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champion as he wound up leading seven times for a race-high 42 laps.
Prior to the last-lap crash, the 120-lap race unfolded with little incident for Busch and the HendrickCars.com team. The only problem they battled was a slightly tight-handling racecar.
The relatively smooth day positioned Busch well for the race's final shootout.
A caution on lap 115 setup a three-lap dash to the finish. When the race restarted on lap 118, Busch took the green flag with his brother Kyle tucked in close behind. The duo tried to stay hooked up as they came down the backstretch on the white-flag lap, but they lost contact in turns three and four. As Busch tried to side draft to prevent the outside lane from overtaking the lead, he and his brother were collected in the last-lap crash.
James Buescher won the DRIVE4COPD 300 to score his first career Nationwide Series victory. Brad Keselowski finished second, while Elliott Sadler, Cole Whitt and Austin Dillon rounded out the top five. Tayler Malsam, Timmy Hill, Tony Stewart, Kasey Kahne and Busch comprised the remainder of the top 10.
There were eight caution periods for 35 laps, with 18 drivers failing to finish the 120-lap race.
The next event on the Nationwide Series schedule is the March 3 Bashas' Supermarkets 200 at Phoenix International Raceway. The race starts at 4:30 p.m. EST with live coverage provided by ESPN2 beginning with its pre-race show at 4 p.m.

I grew up in New England, a Yankee. We Yankees have the reputation for being buttoned-up, hard to get to know. It's always taken me a while to get to know people, really know them. I'm pretty good with the initial chitchat, but then it takes me a long time to feel comfortable. Since I became a mom of two, it's become even harder for me to relax. For years, I've been waiting "until things calm down" to invite people over. I'll think OK, I'll ask them over as soon as I'm not so tired, as soon as the kids are sleeping through the night. Or I don't know her very well. As soon as I get the house cleaned up, I'll ask her over for coffee. The past couple of years, I've been thinking I'll wait until the kids are fighting less before I invite any new people over. Why would I invite a stranger over only to have her see my kids attack one another? Because I was insecure, I was good at finding excuses.
Sometimes I felt sad that I didn't know that many people. Why wasn't I being invited to lots of places? I was ready to accept invitations, but I wasn't ready to extend them.
And then the Welches moved in, five doors down from us. I never saw a moving truck, never knew we had new neighbors. But at afterschool pick-up at the beginning of the year, a blonde woman smiled at me. Not a controlled, sorry-to-have-made-eye-contact, go-back-to-checking-my-phone smile, but a great big smile. Did I know her?
Then she gave a little wave. I walked over and introduced myself. She told me her name (Kelly) and that she had just moved here. We compared ages of our kids (we each had a second-grader and each had a preschooler). We realized that we were virtually neighbors. Moments later, her second-grade son came bounding down the steps and jumped up on her, the same way my daughter did moments later. We introduced the kids to one another and all walked home together.
As we approached my house, she said, "Do you all want to come over and the kids can jump on the trampoline?" Looking at me, she said, "The kids can play, and we can chat and have iced tea."
I was taken aback but in a wonderful way. That was it. That was how you make friends. No I'll-wait-and-see-if-my-house-is-clean-and-my-kids-are-acting-normal before we get together.
"We'd love to!"
We walked a few houses further to their new home and went to the backyard where the kids scrambled onto the trampoline and began to play as if they'd know each other forever. We sat and talked. She told me they had just moved to our town because her husband would be going to school in Cambridge for a year, a program with the military. She asked me if I knew of a Catholic church. "Oh, I know of a great one," I said. "As a matter of fact, it makes me wish I were Catholic because so many fun people go there!"
I then proceeded to tell her about how anxious my daughter had been the year before and how hard it had been for all of us. From there, I somehow ended up telling her that I had to go off Mirena because it had made me feel crazy. We didn't stop talking until it was time for dinner.
When the kids and I got home, I told my husband that I had met "the nicest family" and that clearly, I had felt comfortable because I had talked about religion, birth control, and family issues without knowing her at all. "I even said that I wish I were Catholic, so I could hang out at that church. Geez. What if she's super-religious and horrified by that?"
From there, we didn't see each other as much because I suddenly needed back surgery. My husband was doing most of the drop-offs at school, and the kids had different activities going on. But what was this? Kelly was calling and texting all of the time, asking if I needed help picking up the kids or dropping them off. Did I need milk? Anything from the grocery store? Target? Before we had established ourselves as friends who had gotten to know each other and gone out, she was already ready to help at a moment's notice. She didn't stress about the logistics; she just knew she could make things work.
Once the surgery was over, we got into a system of carpooling where one of us would take "The Littles" to preschool and the other would walk "The Bigs" to elementary school. We switched each day for the rest of the year. Some days, we'd watch one another's children and then switch later in the day. Our kids ran back and forth to each other's houses. I thought nothing of asking her to take my kids at a moment's notice. When my dad had heart surgery, she took them not even knowing when I would be back to get them. "Don't worry," she said. "They'll be fine." And I knew that they would be.
In the spring, Kelly found out that her family would be moving again and, in a crazy change of plans, it looked like my family would be moving, too. At the end of the school year, the Welches moved. Soon after, we moved, too. If I hadn't met Kelly, I don't know if I even would've been brave enough to move. I would've wanted to stay in my safe spot forever because it was what I knew. She showed me, though, that I could make new friends and make a new home without waiting years for it to happen. I could make it happen.
Kelly taught me to make the first move, to open my heart, to take a chance, to offer an invitation even when things aren't perfect yet because chances are they never will be. And, in the past, while I waited for things to become perfect, I've probably missed out on a lot of great conversations and get-togethers. While I was scared to make the first move, there was probably someone just waiting for an invitation.
I'm no longer going to assume that everybody already has her posse of friends.
Military families don't have the "luxury" of waiting a few years to get to know people, to acclimate to their new surroundings. The Welches were there for one year. If Kelly hadn't been proactive, she wouldn't have had a support system.
When I saw the network of friends she made in one year, I realized that I could do that, too, if I were just brave enough to do so.
We've been in our new house a month, and I am a different person than I was the last time we moved. I talk to everyone I meet, no matter how shy I am feeling. I offer for the neighborhood kids to come over, no matter how messy the house is. And I smile and wave without waiting for everyone else to smile first. And I know that Kelly, in her new neighborhood, has already started weaving her web of connections.

Three hilarious and action-packed Irish folk and fairy tales collide in raucous laughter when a trio of wild and crazy leprechauns try to help tongue-tied shepherd Fin O'Grady learn to tell a story and win the hand of his one true love.
Assisted by the wee folk of Ireland, "Blather, Blarney and Balderdash" enact "The Hunchback of Knockgrafton," in which a simple man's gentle nature wins him an unexpected prize and a cruel counterpart learns that it's not a good idea to mess with little people.
In "The Griffin's Feather," young Aidan bravely encounters a sneezing girl, a frenzied farmer and a bombastic boatman before snatching three feathers from a hen-pecked griffin in order to cure a sleeping beauty.
In "The Bird, the Mouse and the Cricket," a courageous lass and three magical animals risk their necks to help a sour prince regain his lost laughter. At last, the shy Fin discovers that a story is a treasure that increases the more you share it.

Mid Sussex's young party-goers may be able to help police after a woman was raped on Brighton beach.
Sussex Police are appealing for help tracing a man after the attack came to light recently.
Hundreds of teenagers and other young people from the Mid Sussex area are among those who visit Brighton for its night life, including the many clubs that remain open until the early hours.
Police say the 18-year-old woman was attacked by a man she met in Coalition nightclub.
They left the nightclub together and went onto the beach between the club and the Fortune of War nearby before he raped her.
The attack happened between 2.30am and 3.15am on November 15 and detectives have been investigating lines of inquiry since then to try to identify who was involved.
They are still hopeful someone will recognise a man recorded on CCTV footage in Coalition who they would like to speak to.
He was white, about 5ft 8ins and in his early 20s. He was clean shaven, had short blond or brown hair and was wearing a blue t-shirt.
Detective Sergeant Mark Taylor said: "The CCTV shows a man in Coalition who we would like to speak to. We think he could have valuable information that could help us with the investigation.
"If anyone knows who he is or where he is I would urge them to contact us as soon as possible.
"I would also like to speak to anyone who may have seen the man in the club on the night of the attack.
"Although this happened several months ago we are still hopeful of finding someone who can help us get in touch with the man in the CCTV.
"If you know anything at all, please call us."
Anyone with information should call 101 quoting serial 133 of 15/11, email firstname.lastname@example.com or call the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.

I really enjoyed my stay, the dorm wasn't full so they did a good job of spacing everyone out. Just little things like not having the soap containers and toilet paper replaced regularly and the bathroom lights only worked in half the bathroom. The bed was really comfortable and the screens helped with privacy quite a bit. The neighborhood was wonderful.

Staff were nice and helped us out, the location was super hard for us to find though! We tried to take public transport and is was difficult, so I'd recommend getting a taxi there. The beds are nice with lockers close to the beds. Restaurant was closed when we wanted to eat. The atmosphere was strange, everything from the toilets to the beds were so close together.. In a slightly uncomfortable way, you can hear people showering and going to the toilet from your bed easily.

The hostel was nice and clean with comfy beds. The dorms I felt were strangely a bit too open even though they tried to make them feel separate and it was annoying that you couldn't turn off the lights in the sink area which meant it felt quite bright when trying to get to sleep. The pool area is nice and modern but it's quite small. Friendly staff and a quiet relaxed atmosphere.

An amazing place to stay in bangkok, with the pool! Yes it's not really close from everything but a taxi cost nothing and the place really worth it! Maybe just the staff is not really helpful with what to do in Bangkok and call a taxi, but they are really nice with us in the hostel! They are not from Bangkok so maybe that's why ( they don't really know the city) But clearly it's THE place to be! The dorms are amazing and big and clean and perfect! One of the most beautiful hostel we've stayed

Color tips: should I dye my hair red?
So, you are thinking about dying your hair red. Red hair is so cool! Whether you are thinking about soft light auburn like Emma Stone. or more of a bold intense red, such as Rihanna, red is beautiful!
How do you know if red hair is right for you?
Do you love to get noticed? Do you live for that moment when you walk into a room and every eye is on you? In this case, deep down, you may be crying out to become a redhead! Should I dye my hair red? – is not a question for you. Instead, it is an answer. But, before you get dyed, we have a few things to clear up about your future red tone.
"How do I make the change to red from blonde hair?"
Are you thinking about making the switch, going light red or blonde red, and your hair is naturally blonde? We have a few things to think about. Do you have the lightest blonde, or have you dyed your hair platinum, and want to look natural? Using a bright intense red will end up a very unnatural bright pinkish red. Red hair needs at least a little bit of a brown base, like what is found in dirty blonde, or light brunette hair. If you don't have that already in your hair, you will end up with a bold color. There is a time in my life when you want intense reds like that, and you will love it. But when you are in school or at work, you can't stand out quite so much. Try light auburn, medium auburn, copper blonde, or red blonde.
Avoid dyes such as intense, bold, or very red. Clairol Nice'N Easy is a great brand for soft auburn and red blonde results.
"I have black hair, will the red dye show up?"
A few girls with black hair have a hard time getting red to even show up on their hair. You are the girls who need to use all of the colors we just warned the blondes about. Intense, bold, or very red are the actual colors that you will want to use. In my opinion, if your hair is black or a really dark brown, choosing a shade of red that is about four shades lighter is the most beautiful. Every person with dark hair has shades of red hiding underneath. You will have the best luck with keeping the red from fading than anyone else.
Deep red and burgundy are also beautiful on girls with dark hair. If your hair is dyed a dark color, you will have a really hard time getting any other color to show up. There are color removers that you can buy. You should use a lightener before using another hair color. Garnier Nutrisse Ultra Color is a great brand for lifting up to four shades with beautiful results.
"What do I do with my brown hair?"
Brunettes have the best luck finding shades that look great. You can choose anything from the lightest red blonde, to the darkest plumb. Like black hair, you also have red underneath that you can access. Chose reds that are one to two shades lighter than your natural color. This will bring out your natural red shade that you may not have even know was there. Unfortunately, natural brunettes will fade the fastest with red hair dye. If your hair is dyed brunette, then you will be able to go red, it just may not be as bright. Color remover is also an option for hair dyed
dark colors. Garnier Nutrisse, Revlon Colorsilk, and Clarol Nice and Easy are all great brands for brunettes.
"I dyed my hair blue, can I switch to red?"
Let's go back to kindergarten for a moment… What do you get when you mix blue and red? Purple! You will get a purple tone when you dye your hair red. It may be a bit of a murky purple, though. If you want to get natural results, pick colors that have a brown base like red brown or medium to dark auburn. Blonde reds and light reds will achieve more of a purple look. If you want a true purple, choose punk red or pink. Punky Color brand will give you the best bright colors, and all of the other brands I mentioned in warm tones will give you the best natural shades.
"I know my tone, what shades should I choose?"
For a cool tone look for red dye with names like light, medium, or dark auburn. Also shades such as cherry, ruby, berry, burgundy, and plum produce beautiful cool reds. Warm toned girls will need to find red colors such as intense red, copper, honey and bronze. Neutral tones need more subdued reds: red brown, red blonde, or red highlights are great options. A natural tone that fits will boost your confidence, and make you feel gorgeous.
"What are the best brands to buy?"
There are many beautiful brands that carry these colors. There are a few that really stand out as the best for red hair. Garnier Nutrisse Ultra Color produces beautiful, fade-resistant reds. It is great when your natural color is dark brown or black, because it can lift your natural color up to four shades lighter. The Ultra Intense Red shade is great for warm tones. The best feature about Garnier Nutrisse, is the fact that it is full of conditioners. These keep your hair soft and silky.
For the most beautiful cool auburn or burgundy reds. Revlon ColorSilk is at the top of the list. Like Garnier, it also resists fading and includes conditioners that leave your hair feeling healthy and silky. Clarol Nice and Easy is also a favorite because it produces amazing reds in a short processing time. Nice'N Easy doesn't have the bright reds that Garnier and Revlon have, so this is the best choice for the girl who has neutral tones. What I like is that it resists fading and is easy to apply.
"Will my hair fade?"
Unfortunately red hair dye always fades more than blonde, brunette, or black dye. That is why finding a brand that resists fading is so important. Luckily, there are ways to keep your red hair looking fresh and vibrant. For three days after you dye your hair, do not wash it. Actually go as long as you can, the longer the better! When you do wash your hair, use shampoo made for red hair. These shampoos have red tint in them so that each time you wash, you freshen your red. Still, each time you wash it, your hair is going to fade a little, so wash it as little as possible during the week. There is waterless shampoo available in powder or spray form, that you can use to stretch out washings, and hold on to that red.
Whether you are cool, warm, or neutral, you will be beautiful as a redhead. Now that you know how to choose your shade, I think you should try life as a redhead.
So, should you dye your hair red? I say, go for it!Source: www.colorofmyhair.com

Editor's note: This market commentary is provided by the Dairy Division at FCStone/Downes-O'Neill in Chicago, Ill.
Class III futures continued their decline on Tuesday as the spot markets came under pressure. The barrel market started the declines, falling to $1.6550 before a trade occurred, and the blocks fell to $1.7100 as well before any trades took place. By the close, however, prices had come off their lows with barrels coming back to close unchanged at $1.69, while blocks moved a penny off their lows to $1.7200. For a while, it looked as though prices would stay fairly stable with the bounce from the lows in spot; however; after trading steady to 5 lower for a period of time, prices in Feb and March dropped by 21 and 19 cents other 2013 months finished from 1 higher to 8 lower as volume still remains relatively light as less than 1,000 trades took place on the day. The wide block/barrel spread closing through blocks falling certainly affected the nearby months. And Feb has given up 50+ cents in just two days, leaving us questioning how much downside can remain there. We'd look for a slight bounce back today, though sell-side pressure should remain on the spot session. We have our doubts as to how much further spot prices will fall in the short term.
Spot session results:
Block cheese: $1.72 (down 4 cents)
Barrel cheese $1.69 (unchanged)
Grade A NFDM: $1.5575 (unchanged)
Butter: $1.45 (down 3.5 cents)
Grain markets continued to move mostly higher ahead of Friday's USDA report, but a slight sell- off at the close brought the market back to mixed. The term "readjustment" comes to mind early this week, particularly in regard to the corn market. As the long-awaited report draws nearer, the market seems to be bouncing back a bit after losing some 70+ cents since the first week of December. On the day, March corn finished 3.25 cents higher at 688.75; soybeans were 2 lower to 1386.5, while wheat finished down 0.75 cents at 760.25.
This morning, we look for corn to open steady to 3 cents higher and soybeans mixed from -3 to +2.

I am so thankful I decided to have my tummy tuck after having 2 children 18 months apart. Now the youngest is 5. I spent over a year working out with a personal trainer and lost inches off of my thighs and hips, but still my stomach never budged after instense work outs.
I finally went for a consult with a plastic surgeon in Orlando, FL. He recommended a full tummy tuck with lipo on my love handles. I am now 6 weeks post-op and very pleased with the results. I was in very good shape and have been on Juice Plus vitamins for 6 months prior to my surgery. Fortunately I also have a high pain tolerance, so I would describe it as "uncomfortable".
As long as you keep up with your pain meds for at least the first week and don't fall behind in taking it you should be fine. I weaned myself off Vicodin after the first week and a half and started taking Tylenol. You really need someone to take care of you for the first week, you do not realize how much you use your abs until you've had them stitched back together. Just lifting your legs hurts and sneezing is the worst.
Also, see if your Dr. can prescribe Phenagran or some type of anti-nausea meds that you have with you after your surgery. I was very nausiated from the anitesia and threw up, that was the most pain I have ever felt -- to me worse than childbirth. Luckily I had the meds so started taking it immediately.
Also, I had the typical regrets and depression immediately after the surgery due to the pain, the drains, and the scarring. But now 6 weeks later, I am happy as a clam and already shopping for new bikinis!.

It's the mid '50s and there's no dancing, no loud music and no interracial dating allowed in a small midwestern town. But when a young, motorcycle riding roustabout arrives and shakes things up, lives in that small town take a dramatic turn.
The plot for Coon Rapids High School's rendition of "All Shook Up" is loosely (very loosely) based on Shakespeare's "12th Night" and includes twists of mistaken identity and falling in love with "the wrong person," said director Karla Haij.
Inspired by and featuring the music of Elvis Presley, "All Shook Up" takes the stage at the high school 7 p.m. May 1 (ASL interpreted), 2, 3, 8, 9, and 10 and 2 p.m. May 10.
"From beginning to end the musical is tremendously fun and highly entertaining," said Haij. "If someone is looking for meaningful dialogue and life lessons, they won't find it in 'All Shook Up' – it is pure entertainment for the sake of entertainment."
The 40-member cast is as ethically diverse as the high school's student population, Haij said, adding that there are many new faces in the cast of "All Shook Up."
Tickets for the musical ($8 for adults and $5 for students and seniors) can be purchased online atanoka.k12.mn.us/crhstheatre or by calling 763-506-7302. Tickets are also available at the door.
Coon Rapids High School is located at 2340 Northdale Blvd. NW, Coon Rapids.

I've been doing some guest blogging of late, but I enjoyed a recent opporunity the most. Etsy.com invited me to be a guest curator, which basically involved writing up a list of some things that I thought were cool and manly that are offered for sale on the site.
If you've never been to etsy.com, it's a site where independent craftsmen and women can sell their wares. It's also a place where people sell vintage treasures they find. It sort of has a girly reputation-many of the things sold are made by women, for women. But crafts are definitely not just for the ladies, and there some great manly finds on there as well. I'm a big fan of the site, as I try to support independent crafters who are making quality goods instead of mass-produced junk. Next time you're looking for something unique for yourself or someone else, check it out.
Anyway, I had a lot of fun writing this post and thought you all might enjoy it too.

The Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor is a thermistor device in which resistance changes with temperature. The electrical resistance of a thermistor decreases as the temperature increases, and the resistance increases as the temperature decreases. The varying resistance changes the voltage drop across the sensor terminals and provides electrical signals to the PCM corresponding to temperature.
Thermistor-type sensors are considered passive sensors. A passive sensor is connected to a voltage divider network so that varying the resistance of the passive sensor causes a variation in total current flow.
Voltage that is dropped across a fixed resistor in a series with the sensor resistor determines the voltage signal at the PCM. This voltage signal is equal to the reference voltage minus the voltage drop across the fixed resistor.
The ECT measures the temperature of the engine coolant. The PCM uses the ECT input for fuel control and for cooling fan control. There are 3 types of ECT sensors, threaded, push-in, and twist-lock. The ECT sensor is located in an engine coolant passage

The years (and there are four decades of them) have only seen standards rise with the Trocks; the pointe work is more than commendable.
San Francisco Chronicle
Take a look here to see if Les Ballets Trockadero De Monte Carlo is showing somewhere nearby
From the first sold out performance in 1974 in a second story loft theater in Manhattans meat-packing district to this day, Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo have travelled all over the world. As the darlings of the ballet world, the "Trocks" combine a loving knowledge of classical ballet with a wicked sense of humor, displaying a startling mastery of technique that will appeal to ballet aficionados and complete novices alike.
The repertoire of the Trocks ranges widely from Swan Lake, Don Quixote, even the Nutcracker, spoofing George Balanchine productions, The HumpBack Horse, Giselle and Les Sylphides. You name it, they have performed it all over the world (even in front of Prince Charles in 2008), and to a fantastically high standard of ballet, as well as being fabulously tongue-in-cheek about it all. What makes this different from other troupes is that the dancers portray both male and female roles in a humorous style that combines ballet parody, posing and physical comedy with "straighter" pieces that aim to showcase the performers' innate technical skills, which include dancing en pointe.Once you get over the shock of seeing athletically built men in tutus, you will be astounded by the level of skill on display. From hardcore ballet fans to newcomers, the Trocks are ones to watch.
Opening night: 7 July 2013
Closing night: 7 July 2013

A note on the relevance of prudence in precautionary saving
The aim of this note is to suggest that prudence, i.e. convexity of marginal utility, can only explain a small share of precautionary savings, which we may define as savings generated by variance in income. Therefore, if we are willing to admit that precautionary savings constitute a sizable share of total savings, other factors should be called for. We present a few examples showing that risk aversion might constitute one such factor.

Jail and chroot
I used this tutorial to install Jail to my Gentoo -> http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Jail. I tried it few times. Those base commands like cp,mkdir,vi etc. worked well. But with irssi I got this error "setupterm() failed for TERM=xterm: 0 Can't initialize screen handling, quitting." and more "You can still use the dummy mode with -d parameter". If I'll try "irssi -d" then I'll get "Can't open perl script "-e": Permission denied".
And with "screen" I get error "Must be connected to a terminal.". I hope that somebody could help with these informations.
See if copying the /usr/share/terminfo/x dir to the jail helps.
Thank you, but not helped. Screen gives me error "Must be connected to a terminal." and irssi "Can't open perl script "-e": Permission denied" and this "Segmentation fault (core dumped)". There is no X in the Gentoo.
I have tried with google, but I haven't got solved these problems. I hope that somebody who has done chroot before could help me with this. The tutorial, which I mentioned above, was little bit sort and I haven't found better one.

Dear Architects,
1. I just started a intern architect job in NYC.
2. I got accepted to Columbia GSAPP MSAAD with $15k scholarship for 2013-2014.
3. I have a MARCH from a state school.
4. I already have $40k student loan debt.
5. MSAAD will add another $100k debt.
6. I will probably lose my job once I start the program. (MSAAD graduates said it is impossible working even part time job while you are in the program)
7. I am 32 years old......
I am in big dilemma. Will I regret giving up the acceptance throughout my career? How important having an IVY league degree in architecture field? Will that guarantee promising future?
uumm.. you have an MARCH already.. what is your reason to attend MSAAD?
if I were you, I'd keep working, pay off debt, save up enough tution, and then apply for MSAAD again if I'm still motivated... perhaps find another part-time profession on the side to finance education or earn a living until you start making real money in architecture.
You are in a great city with minimal debt. Spend the time to pay it off and get to know and network in the city. NYC is a great architecture hub so let it be your post graduate education.
100k debt is shackles for life.
100k for a piece of paper that probably won't make that much of a difference in your career. instead of buying the same degree a second time, why don't you focus on saving that 100k for any possible children in your future so that they can go to the school of their choice without any debt and not have to go through what you are going through? just a thought, for this generation in particular.
yeah.. $140K in debt when you're done with your studies.. Don't forget the two or three years of lost time you could've spent working and earned $40K/year.
Okay, I just read your comment, absolutely very wise choice! Make a living, pay off that 40k you have and live!
smart choice... meanwhile, here I am trying to decide if I should go to grad school or not. I make 40K now and will likely make the same with grad school. I'd totally scratch it out of my list if I didn't need it to get licensed

The Ministry of Transportation has delivered a formal Air Operating Certificate (AOC) to the commissioners and directors of Mandala Airlines.
The certificate was signed on February 20, 2012, to allow flight operations to commence on April 4, 2012, using three Airbus A320 aircraft.
As quoted by Bisnis.com, Bambang S. Ervan, spokesman for the Transportation Ministry, confirmed that the AOC was only delivered one month after its actual signing.
Mandala Airlines ceased operations on January 13, 2011, when it was unable to meet financial obligations for the lease of aircraft used to serve their customers.
Mandala Airlines will return to the skies flying initially on routes between Jakarta-Singapore-Medan-Singapore-Jakarta and Jakarta-Singapore-Denpasar (Bali)-Jakarta.
PT Angkasa Pura II, the airport authority for Jakarta's Soekarno-Hatta International Airport, confirmed there are two Airbus 320s with Mandala liveries parked at terminal 3 of Jakarta's Soekarno-Hatta International Airport. He also confirmed that the airport operators had been asked to prepare for the delivery of a third Airbus before April 4, 2012.

Highlights of Norwich's arts scene in 2013
PUBLISHED: 07:00 28 December 2013 | UPDATED: 11:36 30 December 2013
With festivals galore and an array of other great entertainment, Norwich has enjoyed a colourful year of culture. Arts correspondent Emma Knights looks back at some of the highlights in the first of a two-part feature.
From Shakespeare performed in Norwich Cathedral's cloister, to a red carpet movie premiere at Hollywood Cinema, to a 17-day festival full of art, music, circus and more, 2013 has seen Norwich enjoy a packed calendar of events.
Looking back to last December and January, more than 50,000 theatre-goers enjoyed the Theatre Royal's 2012/13 festive show Aladdin which went on to be honoured with the Theatre Award at the second annual Norfolk Arts Awards later in the year.
And if Norwich could have asked the pantomime's Genie of the Lamp to grant the city a wish for a vibrant year of arts for 2013, he perhaps could not have done better than the year our fine city has enjoyed.
February saw Norwich Puppet Theatre host its annual Manipulate Festival, created in partnership with Puppet Animation Scotland, which brought acts from around the world to entertain audiences with animation, puppetry and visual theatre.
In March, Norwich Cathedral took centre stage on the big screen when the movie Jack the Giant Slayer was released. Part of the film – which starred Ewan McGregor and Bill Nighy – was filmed at the cathedral and cinema-goers saw the historic building transformed into a fairytale castle.
In April, part of the Sportspark at the UEA became the stage for the National Theatre of Scotland's show Black Watch. The poignant drama, based on interviews with soldiers from the Scottish regiment who served in Iraq, was brought to the city by the Norfolk and Norwich Festival and University of East Anglia for the UEA's 50th anniversary celebrations.
May was festival time as Norwich exploded into a kaleidoscope of quirky art, sublime music, amazing circus, Spiegeltent fun and more courtesy of the 17-day Norfolk and Norwich Festival. The arts extravaganza opened with Compagnie des Quidams' Herbert's Dream, a free, dreamlike spectacle in the Cathedral Close. Highlights of the NNF programme also included the return of spiritual spectacle How Like An Angel by Australian circus company Circa – who also brought new show Beyond to the Spiegeltent – and vocal ensemble I Fagiolini; the transformation of Norwich Castle's Keep into a quirky village of tents for Brian Griffiths' art show These Foolish Travels; the Philharmonia Orchestra performing Our Hunting Fathers – Britten in Norwich at St Andrew's Hall, as part of the celebration of Benjamin Britten's centenary; and Nature Theater of Oklahoma's 13-hour epic tale of biography, Life and Times: Episodes 1-5 performed at Norwich Playhouse. Following on from the festival, the county became a giant gallery as artists opened their doors for Norfolk and Norwich Open Studios from May into June.
A troop of decorated apes descended on Norwich in June for the GoGoGorillas! charity art project which became one of the runaway success stories of the summer. Fifty-four adult gorilla sculptures, designed by local artists and sponsored by local organisations, formed the trail that was a hit with people of all ages. The trail, organised by children's charity Break and Wild in Art, ran until September, and at auction in October the primates raised £272,300 for Break and the Born Free Foundation. Thousands of schoolchildren also took part in the project and designed baby gorillas for a second city trail.
Towards the end of June into July the inaugural Young Norfolk Arts Festival (YNAF) took place in venues across the city. The celebration of young talent in the arts was privileged to have a member of Britain's acting royalty launch its first year.
Dame Judi Dench paid a visit, during which she held a question and answer session in Norwich Cathedral with Norfolk school pupils, watched Norwich School pupils rehearse Much Ado About Nothing for the festival, and paid a visit to Norwich Castle.
July also saw the cloister at Norwich Cathedral become the dramatic setting for the annual Shakespeare Festival, with GB Theatre Company performing A Midsummer Night's Dream and The Merchant of Venice.
Red carpet fever hit Norwich in the same month as Norwich's best-known fictitious DJ Alan Partridge came to Anglia Square for the world premiere of his film Alpha Papa that he described as his "love letter" to the city. The premiere at Hollywood Cinema hit the national headlines and was the result of the "Anglia Square not Leicester Square" campaign started by Rob Wilkes and Rafiq Turnbull.
The Lord Mayor's Celebration in the same month saw the city party in style and the event's highlight – the annual street procession – featured almost 70 floats. Pirates, cheerleaders, dinosaurs, rock bands, superheroes and alien creatures from Star Wars were among the colourful characters who delighted the crowds.
August saw the Sundown Festival bring acts including Example, Jessie J, JLS and Rita Ora to the Norfolk Showground.

Mertesacker eyes top four
Per Mertesacker says everyone at Arsenal is focused on a top-four Premier League finish despite their rocky start to the season.
Last Updated: 25/10/11 11:10am
Per Mertesacker insists everyone at Arsenal is focused on a top-four Premier League finish despite enduring a rocky start to the season.
The Gunners currently sit seventh in the standings after poor results early in the campaign hindered their progress.
Arsene Wenger's men seem to be getting back on course having won their last two league encounters at home to Stoke and Sunderland.
And German centre-back Mertesacker, a summer arrival at Emirates Stadium from Werder Bremen, insists finishing in the top four, as well as progressing in the UEFA Champions League, are Arsenal's main objectives.
"The table is very important for us now," Mertesacker told Sky Sports News.
"To be in the first four is kind of a target everybody has at this club. In the Champions League we want to go through. It's a hard wait.
"I'm very confident and I think we'll do this."
Mertesacker arrived at Arsenal on transfer deadline day and admits not being able to get acquainted with the team in pre-season has made it more difficult to settle in North London.
But the 27-year-old feels things are coming together now the players who arrived late in the transfer window are better adjusted.
"We have no time to do lots of work together but we have to use the games and work hard as a team," he added.
"If we have no pre-season it's a difficult situation but now I've had my pre-season and we are doing well."

Thanks for sharing your photos
Here are my photos (there are 370 of 'em):
And my review:
Thank you! I wasn't able to go, so I really appreciate the pics. They're good quality.
Ooohhhh - I like the phrase 'audience pandering'. It totally captures how I feel about Elvis's exhibition #'s, most of Candeloro's professional #'s and exhibition #'s and Alexei's Shout.
Thanks for the great review and photos. I was also in the audience that night, and had a great time. So sorry to read in your review that this years Ice Wars was Brian's last. The event will miss him.
Wow I hardly recognized Butyrskaya.
Teena, great pics! Thanx for sharing!
You're welcome! I'm glad you guys are enjoying them!
BTW just an explanation for the two photos from warmups where Kurt's in front of the judges and then you see them laughing - he had decided to sneak along the boards out of sight, and then pop up in front of them to scare them. The first photo is the moment he popped up - as you can see, Christine and Isabelle haven't even had time to react - and the second is the after photo, with Christine, Lloyd, and Isabelle laughing. I realized upon looking at the photos that they didn't at all make sense if you didn't know what happened =).
I wish I could take pictures like that.
Who was replacing who? Maria replacing Nichole? Is Nichole OK? Was there someone else?
Yuka replaced Katarina Witt, who was out b/c of an unspecified injury.
Maria replaced Nicole Bobek - I heard she has a kidney infection and has pulled out of other events in recent weeks as well.
Yuka wasn't their first choice? That's amazing.
Wow - what GREAT photos and review! I live not too far from Peoria, but couldn't attend this one. This was the next best thing. Thank you for sharing!!

What is recommended going through the armpit or the nipple for a 350cc silicone implant? I have very small nipples that are very round and on the darker side. please let me know the pros and cons.
The Dr. recommended the armpit because my nipples are small. I am concerned about the scar size on my armpit and I am worried that it will be visible. I don't want to have to worry about these scars showing in the summer time. please let me know your opinions. Photo attached.

A movement of lay advocates speaking out against sexual violence is gaining steam in the faith communities. But are similar efforts happening inside church doors?
When it comes to leading denominational conversations on sexual violence, clergy across traditions express twin reactions: encouragement over the protocols already in place and the efforts of fellow advocates; and frustration with a culture of silence around sexual violence in the church. Despite strikingly different experiences across denominations — and church by church — the clergy, church staff, and seminarians who spoke with Sojourners are in agreement that addressing this issue in one's own house is complicated at every level.
The result: a loss of potential by the American church to be a leading and vibrant institution of radical vulnerability and transformative healing.
