Wed Apr 15, 2009 2:59pm EDTNAIROBI (Reuters) - A Kenyan man bit a python who wrapped him in its coils and hauled him up a tree in a struggle that lasted hours, local media said Wednesday.Farm manager Ben Nyaumbe was working at the weekend when the serpent, apparently hunting for livestock, struck in the Malindi area of Kenya's Indian Ocean coast."I stepped on a spongy thing on the ground and suddenly my leg was entangled with the body of a huge python," he told the Daily Nation newspaper.When the snake coiled itself round his upper body, Nyaumbe resorted to desperate measures: "I had to bite it."The python dragged him up a tree, but when it eased its grip, Nyaumbe said he was able to take a mobile phone out of his pocket and phone for help.When his supervisor came with a policeman, Nyaumbe smothered the snake's head with his shirt, while the rescuers tied it with a rope and pulled."We both came down, landing with a thud," said Nyaumbe, who survived with damaged lips and bruising.The snake escaped from the three sacks it was bundled into.

If your spouse had a retirement account during your marriage, you may be entitled to a portion of it if the two of you have a community property regime. There are two steps to cashing out your marital portion of a retirement account. First, there's a community property partition, followed by a QDRO (pronounced quad-row) procedure.
How do you know if you have a Community Property Regime?
In Louisiana, all married persons start out in what's called the community of acquets and gains, or community property for short. Community property is all of the assets and debts you and your spouse acquire during the course of your marriage. If you and your spouse want to hold certain property or debt separately, then you have to specifically contract to do that, through a pre-marital agreement or a declaration of paraphernality/separation of property agreement. If you and your spouse have never signed any document that would make certain property or all property acquired during the marriage separate property, then you have a community property regime.
What Happens to Community Property Once Spouses Divorce?
Divorce ends the community property regime. However, each spouse retains an ownership interest in the community property. The way that ownership interest is determined and divided is a legal proceeding called a community property partition. In this process all of the assets and debts of the couple are listed out, and values assigned. The parties, either by agreement or with the help of the court, are given ownership and responsibility for all of the assets and debts, in as fair a manner as possible.
What Happens After the Partition of Community Property?
The court will issue a judgment of partition, stating each spouse's rights and obligations to all of the assets and liabilities of the community. The community regime is over for the items of property and debt that have been divided.
Where Does the QDRO Process Come In?
Once a spouse has been determined to have an interest in a retirement account of the other spouse, the QDRO procedure is begun to eventually direct the holder of the retirement plan to send payments from the account to the appropriate spouse. This is done through a Qualified Domestic Relations Order, or QDRO. Each company has its own set of procedures for processing requests for distributions from employee retirement accounts, and that procedure results in the court granting an order, which is approved, or qualified, by the company. Once the QDRO is approved, the company will accept the order and begin their internal process to distribute the funds.
Can Meneray Family Law, L.L.C. Handle my Community Property Partition and QDRO Proceedings?
Absolutely. An unsettled community is a very uncomfortable thing for my clients. They feel that they have this unfinished business, those loose ends of their marriage that they want to deal with. And in the case of a QDRO, many clients worry about getting their portion of a retirement account and want to make certain that process is completed as soon as possible. Call Liz today at (504) 330-5522 or send her an e-mail at liz@menerayfamilylaw, to make an appointment.

A 400 mile road trip later and I am overjoyed to have witnessed the batik printing of my first batch of scarves! They are still only samples at this stage but it was an amazing opportunity to meet the master craftsman who will be responsible for printing my collection. To see his studio, watch him work and be able to explain (with the help of a translator of course, I haven't learnt tamil as yet!) some of my layout requirements to him.
His set up is far from high tech, the wax used for the batik is melted in a metal tray over a gas burner, held up on bricks. The lighting is very poor in his workshop, and I noticed that when he prints he is actually working in his own shadow (!) but he seems to manage anyway. When they have current he hooks up a light which improves conditions. A table of damp sand is used as a base for the fabric, and is smoothed over with a wooden rod before laying the fabric.
One of my scarf prints took a bit of explaining, with geometric ends, and a giant feather in a slightly slanted half drop repeat across the body of the fabric. This took a few samples to get him to understand what I wanted, but I love the fact that each sample is now one of a kind, so didn't mind really. None off them actually look wrong, just different, and for production I want to aim for consistency, even if this is not what I end up with.
Getting to understand the needs and limitations of the artisan is a crucial element to getting the best out of the relationship and ensure you don't end up frustrated. This trip has helped me determine what I can and can't ask of him (like do not suggest that he moves his set up to reap the benefits of natural light), and what can be done by me to make his work easier.
Block printing is a process which is done entirely by eye and hand. The printer identifies a visual guide to show where the next block should be placed, irregularity of repeat is what makes it unique and genuine, however it is the mark of a true master when the irregularities are only slight. Things like layout, the number of points to be matched for each repeat, and also the rigidness of the fabric (whether the fabric moves during printing), are all elements which will affect production. For my designs I have a complicated repeat, lots of points to match, plus silk fabric so the difficulty level is pretty high!
For the aforementioned feather print scarf I have agreed to make a template which will be used to mark dots on the fabric as a guide for the repeat; this will speed up production time and ensure the the angle of the block is consistent.
It was very encouraging to see the next generation of batik printers present; the masters son was there as apprentice ready to lend a hand, all the time observing and learning.
Thanks to The Colours of Nature for inviting me to join them on this inspiring road trip – where I also got to witness denim production at a small powerloom factory, and the mind blowing process of industrial scale washing! One machine can wash 30,000 metres of fabric IN ONE DAY!!!!! I will share some pics at a later date, the machines are like something out of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory!

Thats is really good news. So, PT is paying off, just not as fast as you would have liked it to be but thats ok, you are shwoing improvement so now you know its working.
I was instructed on my Tens to turn it up as high as I could stand it, but I was not to reproduce pain. I could then back it off a little. I think turning it up too high can cause problems.
Do not be surprised if the dr does not release you to return to work on this appt coming up. He may want you in more PT or at least at the center a few weeks before letting you return to work. Even with your improvements you still have alot of deficit. The fact that you are not walking correctly tells you something. So, again, do not be surprised.
I cannot belive you lost your tennis shoes,lol. I hope by now you either found them or replaced them lol.

Stab hell for Jermain Defoe
FOOTBALL star Jermain Defoe was shocked last night after his cousin was stabbed to death.
I want to again highlight the desperate need for us to pull together
Allan Edgar was knifed in the neck by robbers in St Lucia.
The frail 78-year-old is believed to have walked in on two thieves after an evening at a neighbouring bar.
A pal discovered him "in a pool of blood" the next morning. Spurs and England striker Jermain, 29, is still recovering from the killing of his brother Jade two years ago.
The 26-year-old dad of three died in 2009 after being punched to the ground in a row with BMX riding thug Christopher Farley, 34, in Newham, east London.
Detectives in St Lucia last night said two men were helping their murder inquiries.
Jermain told the Daily Star: "I am shocked and saddened by the tragic news of my cousin's murder in the close-knit town which my family is from in St Lucia.
"I want to again highlight the desperate need for us to pull together – the world over – to tackle knife crime and teach everyone how sacred a life is."
Jermain's mum Sandra wrote on Facebook: "R.I.P. Cousin Allan, sadly taken away from us. So so sad."
Allan had earlier reported stolen cash from his home to police, then went to the bar.
Insiders believe the thieves came back for more.

NEW YORK (AP) - San Diego defensive lineman Antonio Garay has been fined $15,000 by the NFL for a hit below the knees of New England quarterback Tom Brady last Sunday.
Patriots defensive end Andre Carter was fined the same amount Friday for hitting Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers in the chest with his helmet. San Diego safety Eric Weddle was docked $15,000 for unnecessary roughness in the same game, a 35-21 victory by New England, when he made helmet-to-helmet contact with Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski.
Philadelphia defensive tackle Cullen Jenkins was also fined $15,000 for a helmet-to-helmet hit on Atlanta quarterback Matt Ryan.
It was announced earlier this week that Falcons cornerback Dunta Robinson was fined $40,000 for leading with his helmet while crashing into Eagles wide receiver Jeremy Maclin.

end of interview, follow-up after interview, handshake, Interview, interview follow-up, thank the interviewer, thank you, thank you note, Vision Staffing Solutions
Once the questioning is over, you can continue to make a great impression on the interviewer.
- Offer a handshake and thank the interviewer for his or her time.
- Express your interest in the position and company. Say something like "I would like to contribute to [company name]."
- Express follow-up concern. You could simply say, "I hope to hear from you soon," or you could determine the preferred method of follow-up before you leave. Hiring managers will happily tell you if you should wait for their phone call, or if you should make a follow-up call in a week.
- Follow the instructions the manager gives you; don't call the next day if you are supposed to contact him/her in one week.
- Send a "Thank You" note. Yes an email will work, but dropping off a hand written note at the front desk is more personal and effective.
- Be proactive and continue learning about the company researching their web or talking with internal employees. This will prepare you for any questions during the follow-up call or for a second interview.

Landscapes have a mesmerizing effect on people. Depending on the setting Cheap Jerseys China Free Shipping , a given piece of scenery might instill a sense of serenity or natural turmoil. It might imply lush growth or steady erosion; green with life or dark, gray, and lifeless. A talented photographer can leverage these features to produce photos that are simultaneously riveting, poignant, and beautiful. But, this seldom happens by accident.
In this article, we ll provide a quick list of five tips that will add flavor to your landscape photography. Some of the following suggestions may seem intuitive while others might be surprising. In the end, you ll be able to use these tips to create landscape photos that grab the imagination of your viewers.
#1 Reduce Camera Shake With A Tripod
In order to capture a wide Cheap Jerseys China Wholesale , deep section of scenery, you ll need to use a smaller aperture to increase your depth of field. A smaller aperture usually requires a longer shutter speed to compensate for a loss of light. A longer shutter speed makes camera shake more likely, which leads to blurring. Use a tripod to eliminate the problem.
#2 Use The Foreground As An On Ramp
Suppose your shot consists of a field of brightly colored flowers in the foreground with snow capped mountains etched into the background. One way to bring your audience into your shot is to use the foreground as an introduction. For example, bring your camera low so the flowers are shot up close at eye level. The field will stretch into the distance toward the mountains in the background. This creates a visual experience that makes it easier for your viewer to interact with your scenery.
#3 Increase Your Depth Of Field
If you re an experienced photographer, you may want to play with a more shallow depth of field to produce unique effects. That said, novice photographers should choose as deep a depth of field as possible when shooting landscapes. That allows objects at varying distances from your camera to come into focus. As mentioned earlier, consider using a tripod since a smaller aperture normally requires a longer shutter speed.
#4 Integrate The Sky, Clouds Cheap Jerseys Online , And Sun
The sky can make your landscape photography come alive. In fact, if you allow other elements of your scenery to dominate the upper portion of your photo, the end result will be less than satisfying to your viewers. The key is to make sure there are contrasting features that draw the eye.
For example, strips or groups of clouds will break up an otherwise clear blue sky. The clouds add flavor. If you re shooting near dusk, a setting sun can splash clouds with colored light. Splotches of red and yellow strewn through a light cloud cover can produce startlingly attractive photographs.
#5 Show Action
Landscape photography is normally thought of as shooting stillness. However, you can add a unique effect to your photos by shooting specific types of scenery in a way that captures movement. For example, water lapping a nearby shore, trees blowing in a gentle wind Cheap Jerseys Free Shipping , a flock of birds cutting lazily through the air... these elements animate your photos. They draw the person viewing the picture into the scenery s action.
In order to accomplish this, you ll need to lengthen your shutter speed and use a smaller aperture to compensate for the corresponding increase in light. And of course, use a tripod to remove the problem of camera shake.
Photographing landscapes is an opportunity to present the environment in a way that draws your audience into your composition. A lot of photographers both novices and pros squander the occasion. Use the tips above to introduce elements into your photos that show nature at its most exciting and beautiful.

David Aaronovitch makes such good senseAnd even better gets it onto Channel 5 in the UK. Hope the CBC can find the same good sense from someone.
(I am SO impressed he ran the London Marathon! And even funnier, the moment Norm Geras appeared on screen, I knew it HAD to be Norm.)
Vival La Muerte is the most sickening motto. And it is deeply tragic that what I once thought of as the left (like Aaronovitch - pro-immigrant, pro-women's rights, internationalist) is signing up for it big time.

Looks like the arrival of the Motorola DROID 4 won't be the only thing going down at Verizon on February 10th. The carrier has confirmed to Phone Scoop that, starting this Friday, it'll be bringing back its double 4G LTE data promotion that we first saw last year. The promo will give customers subscribing to a 4G data plan double the amount of allotted data than normal every month, meaning that customers that sign up for the $30 2GB plan will actually receive 4GB of data for no extra charge. Both new customers and existing subscribers upgrading from a 3G smartphone to a 4G handset will be eligible for the double data deal.
Verizon also revealed that it plans to offer a buy one, get one free deal for the DROID RAZR and DROID RAZR MAXX. The promo will allow customers that buy either handset to pick up a second RAZR or RAZR MAXX for free on contract.
Sounds like Verizon's got a pretty big Friday, no? It's nice to see the double data promotion making a return, as having more data available each month is always a good thing now that unlimited plans are dead and gone (save for those of us that clutching onto a grandfathered plan, of course). The RAZR BOGO offer looks like it'll be a nice compliment to that double data promo as well, especially since it includes the new RAZR MAXX and its capacious battery. Anyone planning on taking Verizon up on either deal?

Twenty people are homeless after an electrical fire at an apartment house caused the building to be condemned.
HYANNIS — Twenty people are homeless after an electrical fire at an apartment house caused the building to be condemned.
The fire at Church Bell Apartments at 215 Main St. started at around 2 p.m. Thursday after an NStar equipment failure that caused a power outage in an area of Hyannis, said Fire Capt. William Rex.
The malfunction caused a power surge in the electrical system of the apartment building, which has 15 apartments and five stores, Rex said. This burned a hole in a water pipe when the arcing started, Rex said, which put out the fire but caused a flood on the first floor.
The building was condemned, leaving about 20 residents homeless.
The landlord, Ronald Bourgeois of Bass River Properties, said he was working to get insurance claims straight and electricians on the scene so the apartments could be used next week.
"In the meantime, all these people need a home just like you and me, and frankly, most of them are low-income," he said.
The local chapter of the American Red Cross set up a temporary shelter in the basement of St. Francis Xavier Church on South Street, where three people slept Thursday night, said Ashley Studley of the American Red Cross.
The Red Cross volunteers and the Salvation Army fed the displaced residents Friday and set up the shelter again for Friday night.
It's unclear where they will go after that. Bourgeois said Friday he hopes to be able to provide temporary housing or funds for housing to all the residents.

Western Europe's leaders may be able to lead George Shultz and Andrei Gromyko to water - the canal city of Stockholm - next month, but can they make the two drink?
What the Europeans (particularly Germany, Britain, and France) would like the superpower foreign ministers to swallow is a prompt return to serious bargaining on nuclear warheads and other security matters. They would also like to be assured that senior officials in Washington and Moscow will help design, and give their backing to, measures that would reduce the danger of accidental war in Europe.
Beyond that, they argue the case for the start of quiet talks leading eventually to a White House-Kremlin summit. There is general agreement that a summit remains unlikely as long as Soviet General Secretary Yuri Andropov's status is uncertain. But many European diplomats are anxiously hoping at least to set American and Soviet officials on a path that would lead to a Reagan-Andropov (or substitute) meeting as soon as the Kremlin leadership is clear.
A West German political writer here explained the European desire for visible US-USSR contact in these terms last week:
''We went by our script, which said, 'We will support deployment, if you will bargain with imagination and flexibility.' The Pershings are suppposed to lead to more serious negotiations aimed at a balanced reduction of the nuclear threat.
We need to show the man and woman in the street that they are really going to be safer in the future. Superpower talks are a symbol of that safety.''
The sequence by which Secretary of State Shultz and Foreign Minister Gromyko are likely to be pressed to meet in Stockholm in mid-January is this:
This week Mr. Shultz meets in Brussels with his NATO opposite numbers. He said at a breakfast meeting with reporters last week that he would go to an East-West meeting in Stockholm Jan. 17 if the NATO foreign ministers decide to attend.
Otherwise the parley on confidence-building measures would draw mainly ambassadors.
Given public pressures in most of the NATO countries, it is likely that the foreign ministers will decide to go to Stockholm in person. That would signal their governments' desire to maintain high-level contact with Soviet bloc governments.
And it would reinforce the argument Germany's Chancellor Kohl and Britain's Prime Minister Thatcher have made to their publics that deployment of Pershing II and cruise missiles creates pressure for continuing negotiation rather than a rupture of East-West contact.
If the Western foreign ministers announce they are going to Stockholm, the pressure would shift to Mr. Gromyko to attend.
It is possible that the imperturbable Soviet foreign policy veteran might find a reason not to make the trip across the Baltic. But from the Kremlin viewpoint, failure to send the Soviet foreign minister to an East-West session of other foreign ministers would be costly in terms of public opinion.
If Moscow is not to jeopardize its standing with Western missile protestors and the general European public, it must show itself willing to give high-level attention to a parley such as that in Stockholm. The meeting is scheduled to take up a series of proposals for reducing the danger of accidental war and for increasing communication between East and West.
If Mr.Gromyko makes the trip, he and Mr.Shultz could be expected to hold at least one private meeting.
That leaves open the question of what, if anything, might be accomplished by such an exchange of views.
The last meeting of the two men, Sept. 9 in Madrid, is known to have been coldly formal and unproductive. It came at the height of invective over Soviet shooting down of the Korean civilian airliner over Sakhalin.
The general view of arms control specialists has been that a mid-January meeting might come too soon for any initiatives from the Soviet side. This view holds that Politburo planners will be concentrating on internal management questions delayed by the long absence of Mr. Andropov. It further argues that Kremlin leaders are not in a hurry to come back to European missile bargaining, and that they may wish to see how Mr. Reagan stands in the campaign season polls before deciding whether to make any proposals to Washington.
For his part, Mr. Shultz is also reluctant to raise public hopes without some concrete signs of progress. He responded bluntly at last week's breakfast when a reporter suggested that preceding administrations had each accomplished an arms control agreement with the Soviets. The Secretary of State said he felt no compulsion to conclude an agreement in this term of office unless it was a good one.
Several arms control experts contacted said that the most they would expect from a Shultz-Gromyko meeting would be a resumption of high-level exchanges that might eventually lead to new talks on a balance of nuclear warheads in Europe.
They said it was conceivable that such exchanges might also lead to new discussion of a US-Soviet summit. But that subject was obviously hostage to the question of who will be at the helm in the Kremlin.

Event provides support and highlights resources for people who have lost loved ones to suicide
Contact:Kellyn Glynn, Healthy Futures Initiative 970-668-4035, firstname.lastname@example.com
SUMMIT COUNTY – Healthy Futures Initiative's Suicide Prevention Action Team (SPAT) and the Summit Foundation's Patti Casey Memorial Fund are partnering to host a local Survivor Day event in Summit County from 9 a.m. to 12 noon, Saturday, Nov. 19. Survivor Day is an opportunity for anyone affected by suicide, in any capacity, to find connection, resources and healing.
The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, the nation's largest suicide prevention organization, provides resources and support to local hosts of the International Survivors of Suicide Loss Day at events worldwide. Survivor Day allows people affected by suicide loss to gather at events in their local communities to find comfort and gain understanding. The events are free and open to the public.
"Losing my mom to suicide has been one of the most devastating things I have ever walked through," said Betsy Casey, daughter of Summit County local Patti Casey. "It created a sense of isolation and aloneness, because it was a loss that many people were not able to relate to. Yet the moment I attended my first suicide support group, I felt connected and understood."
Survivor Day gatherings worldwide, including the event in Summit County, will include a screening of "Life Journeys: Reclaiming Life after Loss," a new documentary that traces the grief and healing journey that follows a suicide loss over time. Summit County's event will also include two break-out sessions: a yoga-and-meditation healing class hosted by local yoga instructor Leslie Glenn, and an art therapy processing group led by Summit Community Care Clinic therapist Susan Preuss.
Participants will also have the opportunity to talk together and share their stories as a group. A certified therapy dog will be on site to provide emotional support.
"I have found that through connection and togetherness, I'm able find strength and healing," Betsy Casey said. "The Suicide Survivor Day events will provide just that – connection, healing and love. I look forward to attending this event."
Survivor Day in Summit County will be held at the Summit County Community and Senior Center in Frisco; complimentary coffee, bagels and fruit will be provided.
"Our hope is to open doors to all those affected by suicide loss in our community," said Healthy Futures Initiative Program Coordinator Kellyn Glynn. "Whether it be direct or indirect, the more we talk about it, and the more people who come together around this topic, the better. The event will also be beneficial to those who are looking for ways to help friends, family members or others who've been through a suicide loss."
Anyone interested in attending Summit County's Survivor Day event is asked to RSVP at afsp.org/survivor_day/frisco-co/.
Healthy Futures Initiative and the Patti Casey Memorial Fund will also host local wellness events during the holiday season and beyond to promote community connection, emotional well-being and support to Summit County residents and visitors.
Healthy Futures Initiative's SPAT and the Patti Casey Memorial Fund are dedicated to helping those in need of support, compassion and healing.
Healthy Futures Initiative developed a suicide prevention action team in 2014 to help address the issue of suicide prevention and intervention in Summit County. The SPAT team includes representatives from Summit County Youth and Family Services, Breckenridge Police Department/Town of Breckenridge, Summit School District, Summit Community Care Clinic, Mind Springs Health, Summit County Public Health, Summit County Coroner, FIRC, Advocates for Victims Assault, Summit County Human Services and Centura Health.
The Patti Casey Fund was established in memory of long-time Summit County resident Patti Casey. It is the family's intention to dedicate this fund to help Summit County address mental health issues. The memorial fund supports individuals needing treatment for substance abuse, depression and suicide prevention.

Small Quake Shakes San Francisco
Epicenter Near Berkley, CA
Small Quake Shakes San Francisco
Epicenter Near Berkley, CA
A small earthquake has jolted the San Francisco area.
The quake, with a preliminary 3.9 magnitude, was centered near Berkeley. San Francisco police said there were no reports of damages or injuries.
The U.S. Geological Survey said the earthquake hit two miles southeast of Berkeley at 2:31 p.m. Thursday.
The quake was felt as a sharp jolt in the East Bay area, and across the bay in San Francisco.
The jolt was felt almost 22 years to the day after the Loma Prieta earthquake struck the Bay Area during the 1989 World Series. And it occurred on the same day that more than 8.5 million people signed up to participate in an annual earthquake drill in which people duck under desks and tables.

I would not waste your time with S.G.M. Weerasighe's "A Comparative Study of Early Buddhism and Kantian Philosophy." Even though it sounds fantastic, it's not. I have it. I might pull an idea or two for my thesis (which is practically based on the exact same topic), but probably not.Websites of present interest:
I WOULD have a look at Philip Olson's "The Discipline of Freedom: A Kantian View of the Role of Moral Precepts in Zen Practice." It is a very good, scholarly (even though the author is a lawyer and zen priest) approach to the topic - though written lucidly so that a lay reader will have no trouble.

People are like horses. Some get going early. Others just stand there in the gate pissing off their owners like a wildcat. Some are right behind the ones with early go. The rest, they try and get going late. Only the best motherfuckers get their photographs taken.

In the last several months, since the Irish economy has spiralled down the toilet, some 20,000 thoroughbreds have been turned loose to slowly starve to death. In these dire times, it seems, not even smack peddlers can afford to finance an equine habit.
The outskirts of Dublin, I hear, are teeming with emaciated nags. You can buy one at source for a mobile phone, somebody said.
A phone that takes pictures. Of snidey fuckers sporting fulsome grins. Surrounded by toothless acolytes.
I do not like to have my photograph taken. Not in these uncertain times.

Seven people were killed and at least three wounded in a shooting Sunday morning that took place at the Sikh Temple of Wisconsin located outside of Milwaukee, according to published reports. Though the reported incident took place several hundreds of miles from Westchester, local Sikhs are taking time to emotionally process the event.
Among those killed was the gunman, described by witnesses as a heavyset tattooed white man armed with a semi-automatic pistol, according to CBS News. The man shot and wounded a police officer and then aimed at another, who shot and killed the gunman, the report said.
Westchester has two Sikh temples, or gurdwaras, one located in Chappaqua and the other in Valhalla. Ruby Singh, whose husband is the president of the Sikh Gurdwara of Westchester in Valhalla, said that the congregation usually meets on Friday nights, so they have not had a chance to address the issue together.
Singh said she and her family have personally reflected on the incident and they are taking it hard.
"It's really disheartening to hear something like this, especially at a place of worship where people should feel safe depending upon whichever religion it is," she said. Singh said it was especially upsetting to hear that, reportedly, a 48-hour prayer session was just concluding at the time of the incident.
According to CBS News, the shooting took place while children were gathered at the temple for a birthday party.
Police believe the gunman acted alone but have yet to confirm his identity, according to CBS, and the FBI will be taking over the criminal investigation, assisted by local police and other agencies.
The NYPD is taking extra measures to makes Sikhs feel safe in the five boroughs, increasing police coverage around Sikh temples in New York City, according to a report by NBC. Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said there is no specific threat against New York City but the measures are being taken "out of an abundance of caution," the report said.
According to CBS News, Sikh advocates said there has been a rise in anti-Sikh violence since the Sept. 11 attacks, noting that Sikhs are sometimes mistaken for Muslims because of the beards and turbans they wear.
The majority of those who practice the monotheistic faith live in India, but there are approximately 500,000 Sikhs in the U.S.
Despite her familys sadness about the shooting, Singh said, "Were sure that the spirit of our religion still wont be shaken no matter what happens to us.

The folded letter, now brittle, was written 135 years ago. It wouldn't be of interest to Andrew Carroll's War Legacy Project (Page 16), but it has enough meaning to my family that my great-grandmother, my grandmother, and my dad all saved it. Now it's mine, a link to an ancestor about whom I know little.
It's a request from David Rice McGhee, a Confederate soldier mired in the siege of Petersburg, Va., during the summer of 1864 that he be granted leave to return home because his wife was dying.
I've often wondered if he returned to his company after his sad journey was completed. Surely the temptation would be great not to go back. I've also puzzled over what motivated a possibly illiterate farmer from Bedford County in Virginia, who never owned a slave, to leave his wife and five children to fight in the Civil War.
Does the fact that he saved this leave paper until his death 45 years later indicate the importance he placed on his war experience? Or was he pleased with the written recommendation of his commanding officer that his furlough be granted because he was a good man?
Long ago, I pored over countless rolls of microfilm in hopes of answering my questions. I gathered a number of dry-as-dust dates, but came up with just one answer: His wife did die.
But this week's cover story on genealogy (right) has inspired me to surf the Web to see what else I can discover, in order to make my great-great grandfather more of a real person to me instead of just a twig on the family tree.

Claudio Marchisio has apologised to Juventus supporters following his extraordinary open goal miss in the 2-1 Coppa Italia defeat to Lazio.
The Italy international fired wired with the goal at his mercy in the closing stages of their semi-final clash and took to his Facebook page to say sorry to Bianconeri fans.
"I couldn't miss. It was so important, I'm sorry," he posted.
Sebastian Giovinco's close-range effort was saved by Lazio goalkeeper Federico Marchetti before Marchisio scuffed wide from three yards out.
A goal would have taken Antonio Conte's side through on away goals and the 27-year-old said that the club will now focus all their efforts on Serie A and the Champions League.
"Now we have two targets left and we'll give it our all," he added.
"We'd saved the game and we had chances to get to the final, but, unfortunately, it ended as it did. We have to give much more, starting with myself, even if we played well."
Juve currently lead second-placed Napoli by three points at the top of Serie A and play Celtic in the last 16 of the Champions League.

Long an Oasis of Christian-Muslim Calm, Kenya May See More Strife
©2013 Religion News Service
hile the smoke that hung over the Westgate Shopping Mall has dissipated, a quiet tension still lingers in the air throughout the capital.
Last month's attack by al-Shabab militants on a mall frequented by Westerners in the capital city, left at least 67 dead. But the burning of a Christian church in the majority-Muslim city Mombasa just two weeks later suggests the nation is on the precipice of more conflict between Christians and Muslims.
This is dispiriting for many in a country that for years enjoyed relative peace between the two monotheistic religions that dominate the region. "I am afraid that now, Muslims will attack more and the Christians will arm themselves and fight back," said Paul Komu, a truck driver and Christian who was driving near Westgate when the attacks occurred.
Kenya is predominantly Christian, with Muslims making up about 11 percent of its population, mostly along the Somali border, its coastal region, and in cities such as Mombasa.
John L. Allen Jr., author of "The Global War on Christians," wrote that just as Africa is the pacesetter for Christian and Muslim growth, it has also become one of the primary fronts for Christian-Muslim conflict, though not always in Kenya. For years, Kenya has been a refuge for people fleeing strife in other parts of the continent.
But Christian mission agencies such as the Mission Network report incidents of persecution pouring over the Kenyan border with Somalia. Mombasa is a flashpoint for conflict, and foreign militants and terror groups have wreaked havoc in the past — as was the case with the 1998 al-Qaida bombing of the U.S. embassy in Nairobi.
To a large extent, day-to-day relations between the Muslims and Christians have been amicable.
Jamal Faroole, a Somali Muslim living in Nairobi, said, "For a long time we have had peace with Christians in this country."
Likewise, the Rev. David Ongwaye, a Lutheran pastor in Kebirigo, Kenya, said that while there has been more political correctness than practical cooperation, "there was no thought that Muslims were plotting to cause mayhem."
Now, sentiments have shifted.
"The human mind gets suspicious," said Faroole. "People were already suspicious of Somali Muslims and now I fear it will only get worse."
Ongwaye mentioned the targeting of non-Muslims in the mall attack as particularly unsettling. During the siege, the attackers demanded that Muslims identify themselves and leave the scene. "The incident at Westgate has, in my opinion, rendered Christians more vulnerable to the Muslims and as such any future 'ecumenism' will be met with caution. It was very clear that those hostages who would recite the 'shahada' were saved from the bullet," he said, referring to the Muslim profession of faith.
Newton Kahumbi Maina, an expert in Christian-Muslim relations at Kenyatta University, said competition for converts, education, and politics have exacerbated and preserved a centuries-long conflict.
Notwithstanding history and the fact that suspicion and outright trepidation grip the country, the majority of Kenyans, on both sides, said they do not want to see escalating violence. Some even struck a hopeful tone.
Komu said he wants to see reconciliation. "Somali and Kenyan Muslims are still our cousins," he said, "Borders can divide us, but we are still extended family."
Ongwaye, who said he was going to visit a Muslim friend on the coast, said that from his Christian perspective the mandate of Jesus to "love thy neighbor," which both Muslims and Christians can embrace, is more relevant than ever.

The 2016 Honda MSX125SF has been launched in Thailand, and is the first of 10 new models expected to be released over the next two years. Also known as the Grom in some markets, this year's model has some changes over the previous MX125.
Still using the same 124.9 cc air-cooled single-cylinder PGM-FI engine, the 2016 MXS125SF has 9.7 hp and 10.9 Nm at 5,500 rpm on tap. Although the bike only weighs 102 kg, we have a feeling that performance will be at "adequate" more than "oh my god, I'm going to die" levels. The MSX125SF comes in four colours – Booster White, Burning Red, Eclipse and Hyper Yellow.
Notable items in the 2016 MSX125SF face-lift are dual LED headlights, digital instrument cluster, a new fuel cap and a revised exhaust can. The 2016 Honda MSX125SF sells for 70,500 Thai baht (RM8,303). During the launch, A.P. Honda Thailand displayed some custom builds of the 2016 MSX125SF, showing what could be done to the bike to make it unique.
No word yet on whether Boon Siew will bring this machine into the Malaysian market to go against the Kawasaki KSR which currently retails for below RM8,000.

If I am to be labeled any kind of extremist, it might be that I am a "free speech extremist."
This does not mean I am a free speech "absolutist." I recognize there needs to be limits on speech.
- One should not be able to falsely yell "fire" in a crowd.
- One should not be able to make threats of violence.
- Child pornography, no thank you.
- Lying under oath. Bad form.
- We can come up with more I'm sure……
This list, however, should be short and limited to moments when speech creates tangible victims based on the real world (including market impact ie: Copyright/Trademark) consequences of speech. The examples above cause real harm to real victims.
The current list of exceptions to the first amendment is a pretty good list. Notably – many European countries have laws against hate speech. The U.S. does not. As despicable as I may find a racist rant, complete with burning flag in the background, I won't stop somebody from doing it. Even if I find it….. gasp….. offensive.
Bottom line: No idea is sacred to all. No idea is free of criticism.
It's freedom of speech as explained by Ghostbusters
Do I recognize that it's 'Dickish' to go out of your way to offend. Sure. But nobody should be forced to "play nice" with an idea, especially if it's one they think is stupid or want to criticize.
Just as they have the right to be critical of something you hold sacred, you can respond with your own speech. Point out how they are being an asshat. Or better yet – offer a rebuttal or critique their own speech/comment/criticism. In the open marketplace of ideas – may the best meme win.
Anyone who points out that Charlie Hebdo was being offensive is missing the point. Of course they were being offensive. There is and never should be a limit to how offensive one can be with speech. No idea is sacred to all. No idea is free of criticism.
Standing for free speech is not American. It is logical. If one allows a government to control—to censor—offensive speech, then no speech will be allowed, except that which government approves, for any speech can offend anyone and then all speech is controlled.
Speech is a human right.

Whatever your taste and budget, youll discover a Monitor Audio speaker that, with a combination of superior design and build, offers great sound. Since hi-fi was in its infancy, Monitor Audio has dedicated all their technical expertise, innovation and craftsmanship to the creation of world-class loudspeakers.
By consistently refining and applying their technologies, Monitor Audio has become the worlds foremost expert in developing metal dome drivers. Metal is not the easiest material to work with, which is why many of their competitors choose paper or plastic. But it does have amazing properties for more life-like sound reproduction.
The C-CAM® drivers used in many of their speakers are very light, but very rigid and strong. This magical mix of properties leaves them light enough to respond to the finest musical nuance and tough enough to stay in shape while resisting the extreme bending forces of deep bass frequency reproduction. They can also be designed much smaller than conventional drivers and still reproduce, without distortion, sounds way beyond the limits of human audibility.

This is combined with individual mid-bass, tweeter and sealed ABR drivers for both left and right channels.
In larger rooms the SB-3 can be used with a partnering Monitor Audio subwoofer to deliver the best possible audio experience. Within smaller environments and systems, the SBs will deliver effortless full range audio way beyond the limits of any TV's sound system.

– Fast.
– Easy.
– Cheap.
– Causes the least amount of ingrown hair (excluding laser hair removal).
– You can cut yourself if you're not careful. No problem with the right razor though.
– Razor burns, again fixed with the right razor.
– Needs to be repeated every 2-3 days maximum if you want smooth legs.
– Remember that shaving also includes methods other than razors, such as epilating creams, mousses, sprays etc. These also cut the hairs at their base, not removing it. They tend to have an awful smell, and be a bit pricey, but they won't give you any cuts etc! Please do an allergy test first.
– The BEST razors are razors for MEN. Trust me. They are sturdy and last long so are a good value for money. They are fast, really comfortable and rarely cause cuts of the skin or razor burns. Ditch your pink girlie ones and go for the men section ladies. You won't be disappointed!
– If you run out of shaving cream, the next best thing is your hair conditioner!!! It softens the hair, conditions the skin, and makes the razor glide on smoothly.

Young local musicians Ariel, Zoey & Eli release video for anti-bullying song
photo courtesy of Matt Engelbert
"Hey Bully" was written for the trio by Jim Peterik, a longtime music pro who founded the bands Survivor (for which he co-wrote the massive 1982 hit "Eye of the Tiger") and, earlier, The Ides of March (for which he wrote the AOR staple "Vehicle"). The "Hey Bully" video was shot Aug. 11 at Ypsilanti High School and features dance/cheer athletes from Premiere Athletics Michigan.
Twins Ariel and Zoey Engelbert (now age 13) have been performing in public for several years now, most recently also joined by younger brother Eli (11). The trio star in the syndicated kids' show "Ariel & Zoey & Eli, Too," a variety program that airs nationallly at 4:30 p.m. weekdays on TheCoolTV.
Here's the new video:
Audio of the song is available as a download from iTunes and CDBaby.

My four year old saw this trio perform "Hey Bully" at the summer festival this year and it really made an impact on her. Last night she told me about some mean girls in her kindergarten class who were picking on another girl, and then she told me "I couldn't stop thinking of that song." I'm sorry she has to be part of that situation, but I was kind of glad she had the song to frame what was happening. I'll download it.
Sat, Sep 1, 2012 : 7:37 p.m.
The song is catchy and performed well, however as well-intended as it may be, it expresses a mixed message. The spoken portion of the song is the strongest section because it advises people about how to stand up to bullying and how to help when they see others being bullied. Most of the other lyrics insult bullies by saying they have mental problems and by using name calling ("Loser!"), which are tactics commonly used by bullies. It would be interesting to know how young people respond to the song, especially bullies. Would it influence them to change their ways?

Just over a year ago, we were left open-mouthed at MC Harvey's revelation that he'd had a secret romantic relationship with Cheryl Cole after her divorce from Ashley Cole in 2010. The claim, made to Now magazine, sparked a juicy Twitter war between the former So Sold Crew rapper and Cheryl. But now the magazine has issued a full apology to Chezza after admitting the story is completely untrue.
If you remember (and you should, it was better than a Christmas day episode of Enders) after reading Harvey's kiss and tell, the Girls Aloud star brilliantly went on Twitter to deny the whole thing: 'Was this "relationship" happening in your head '@harveyofficial?! Are you smoking something?', before adding 'I think I've met you once maybe twice at public events and With your wife!! #s**tjustgetsweirder.'
Harvey fought back, tweeting: 'Do you actually want me to tweet some of the messages you emailed me @cherylcole pipe down and stop playing the saint in front of your fans…you shouldn't of tweeted that knowing we both have personal messages to eachother #silenceinthecourt.'
Today Now magazine's cover admits; 'Sorry Cheryl, there was no romance with Harvey – we got it wrong'. Awks.
Inside it gives a full apology, saying; 'Although we said we'd seen several hundred emails, written over a six month period, apparently between Cheryl, her mother and Michael, we are now satisfied that the emails from Cheryl and her mother are not genuine. They appear to be the work of a calculated and meticulous hoaxer masquerading as Cheryl who went to great length to deceive Michael.'
Hang on – her MOTHER? Did Harvey think he was having a relationship with the lovely Joan too? The magazine ends with: 'We're sorry, Cheryl, for any embarrassment and upset we have caused you. We have agreed to pay Cheryl damages and her legal costs.'
Harvey and Cheryl have now taken to Twitter to 'discuss' it some more. You can read about that here.
To be honest, the best bit about this whole story was when Cheryl's bandmate Nicola Roberts waded into the argument and tweeted Harvey to say: 'Emails..?? I think someone's been having you on mate..#shedoesntdoemailsshedoesphonesex.' Cheryl's new boyfriend Tre Holloway is a lucky guy.

Testing Principles-
Testing Shows Presence of defects-
Software testing shows the presence of defects & not the absence. Like if no fish get hooked in the fisherman's hook, doesn't states that there is no fish in the pond. As a software test team,we can only reduce the probability of undiscovered defects but can not give the guaranty that the software is bug free or there will be no defect in a tested software.
Exhaustive testing is impossible-
'No amount of observations of white swans can allow the inference that all swans are white, but the observation of a single black swan is sufficient to refute that conclusion'. Same happen with software testing, after a lots of testing,we can not say that the software is bug free , we can only find the maximum possible bugs. We can not test all possible input combinations with all possible preconditions except for trivial cases.
Early testing-
First understand then focus & then start....
It is best to start testing as early as possible in a software development life cycle. The most useful benefit of this concept is that it reduces the cost of bugs & give a strong base to the software.
Defect clustering-
By 80/20 theory of Pareto Principle – 80% of the bugs caused by only 20% of the code . It means that a small number of modules contain a large no of defects in a system. These small number of module become defect prone & are also responsible for most of the operational failures.
Pesticide paradox-
We can not laugh again & again on the same joke because our mind get prepared for the end result & we lose interest Similarly,if we repeat same set of test cases again and again ,we will not find any new bug. To reduce/manage this pesticide paradox effect we need to review the old test cases regularly & to add new changes in the software & also review the area of the software to be tested to find more defects.
Testing is context dependent-
We need different tools & skill for fishing than for hunting of a lion. In same way we need do different type of testing of different application. The treatment of a banking application will be surely different than a free educational website. We will be more serious about the security of the banking application than its look but it is opposite for the free educational website.
Absence-of-errors fallacy-
We can not give a local travel bus instead of a car , to a newly married couple for sweet romantic drive. No matter both ( bus & car) are used for traveling, having working engine & covered place to sit. Ideally there is no issues in the working of a bus but it is not fulfilling the requirement of its user. Similarly the software will be of no use if it doesn't fulfill the customer's requirement though we have find & fixes almost all the possible bugs/defects.
Thanks !!! :)

Vet, Marc Abrams', petition to end puppy farming in the UK will be debated in the House of Commons in March 2014. If you object to this inhumane treatment of breeding dogs and their offspring, please write to your MP. In your email or (better still) letter, ask them to attend this debate and vote to outlaw the large scale, commercial breeding of dogs where animal welfare and the basic needs of dogs are being ignored. Dogs are companion animals and it is not appropriate to 'farm' them.

|Yogurt cheesecake
Technically this is not a cheesecake since yogurt is not cheese. I hope the recipe naming police does not find me!
Texturally this is not quite a cheesecake either. I associate cheesecakes with having a rich dense filling. This cheeseless cheesecake has a 'lighter' filling, as the photo shows.
|Yogurt cheesecake
But it is delicious. I can imagine yogurt chocolate cheesecake will produce a better texture. I will try this next time.
If you are keeping an eye on costs, this cheesecake is cheaper since Greek or Turkish yogurt is much cheaper than cream cheese. This means you can have 3-4 slices, with no guilt. But don't blame me if you notice the effects later. The recipe is available here.
