5 Colorblocked Kitchens That Take Their Inspiration from Fashion
We know that interior styles can follow the more nimble fashion world. So, following the return of colorblocking being cool for clothing, it's no wonder we're also seeing the trend in kitchens!
Kitchens actually lend themselves quite well to the look. Cabinets are modular by nature, providing a natural grid on which to colorblock. We like the look best with a clean, white backdrop and a few touches of color here and there.
While this is certainly a trendy look, it could absolutely be low-commitment. Just a few panels here are all that would need to be painted. It's also a way to make your mark on a rental by using something more temporary, like contact paper.
Tire of the trend? Simply go back to all white in the limited areas that were colorblocked!
What do you think about the idea of colorblocking in kitchens? Does it translate well from fashion to the kitchen?

Our Mission
The American Council of the Blind strives to increase the independence, security, equality of opportunity, and quality of life, for all blind and visually-impaired people.
About the American Council of the Blind
The American Council of the Blind (ACB) was founded in 1961 but many of its state affiliates and local chapters have a history that can be traced back to the 1880s. Since its inception, ACB and its affiliates have been at the forefront of the creation of policies that have shaped the opportunities that are now available to people with disabilities in our country. ACB has also effectively collaborated with Vision Rehabilitation Service providers to develop the principles and values that should be at the heart of providing adjustment and placement services to people who are blind.
At the heart of the philosophy of the American Council of the Blind is the belief that we must accept people who are blind where they are and value each and every person for their individual accomplishments. Our organization encourages local and state affiliates to operate autonomously and provide through our resolutions process and through our Board of Directors direction to our national office. Each blind person must be valued as an individual and while the American Council of the Blind expects its members to strive to be all that they can be, we do not support the adoption of a set of values that tell people who they are.
Since our organization emerged in the 1960s, we have concentrated on developing and maintaining policies that have substantially determined what appropriate services are for people who are blind. The foundation of our work is our belief that it is the right of every blind person in this country to be included in society.
It is the responsibility of government at all levels to provide the infrastructure of services and equipment that will allow us to fully participate in our communities. This has led us to support the need for governments at all levels to provide accessible information for people who are blind.
On the national level, our efforts to improve the quality of life for people who are blind have included:
• Being actively involved with the development of the principles and policies that became a part of the regulations implementing Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 as amended.
• Working throughout our fifty years to reform social security so as to create more work incentives for people who are blind and to assure that people who are blind who return to work are protected from the immediate loss of medical coverage.
• Working to create accessible technology in Federal jobs by negotiating and working directly on the standards that have now become section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act.
• Being at the heart of work done to expand the Randolph-Sheppard Program which has created thousands of jobs as blind vendors throughout our country.
• Working with the Rehabilitation Services Administration to assure that services delivered to people who are blind by state rehabilitation programs are appropriate.
• Working directly with other disability organizations to have the rights of people with disabilities extended as they were when the Americans with Disabilities Act was passed in 1990.
• Working with the Bureau of Engraving and Printing to create paper money that is identifiable by people who are blind.
• Working with the Department of Education to ensure that blind children receive the instruction they need to excel in school.
• Working towards the passage of The 21st Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act of 2010 (CVAA) which provides for enhanced access to cell phones, television programming menus, video description of television programming, and receiving access to emergency information displayed on television.
The American Council of the Blind determined that we could have more influence over how services are delivered by working directly with service providers. As a result, we remained involved with ongoing efforts to create and implement programs that would lead to accrediting agencies who provide services to people who are blind. We have served on the boards of directors of national organizations such as National Industries for the Blind, the National Accreditation Council of Agencies Serving People Who Are Blind and the American Foundation for the Blind and we have used our influence to shape the policies those organizations have developed. Our history also includes consistently championing the provision of services to people who are blind by separate agencies who have the expertise in such areas as access technology, braille, daily living and orientation and mobility that assure that people who are blind receive the specialized services they need to be successful.
Our history has been filled with a clear and unswerving resolve to work to make it possible for people who are blind to be more independent and self-sufficient in a society whose complexity is making this increasingly difficult. When necessary, we have filed suit where appropriate, to assure that change happens but prefer to work using structured negotiations or mediation to create reform. Our efforts have led to:
• Public transit systems providing auditory stop announcements on buses and subways.
• Municipalities installing Accessible Pedestrian Signals that can be used by people who are blind or deaf and blind.
• States providing voting machines that allow people who are blind to vote privately and independently.
• The state of Hawaii allowing people who are blind to take their guide dogs into Hawaii without the dog being quarantined.
• Banks and other businesses providing Point of Sale (POS) credit and debit card processing devices that allow for people who are blind to conduct their business independently and privately.
In addition, we are working with leading developers of mainstream technology to assure that they understand that technology is becoming more and more visual and graphical but at the same time, must be accessible for and usable by people who are blind.
Developments of roundabouts and other traffic controls have made it more difficult for pedestrians, in general and blind pedestrians in particular, to move about freely in urban areas. The American Council of the Blind has published a state-of-the-art web-based "pedestrian safety handbook" to provide traffic engineers and people who are blind with the tools they need to develop more friendly approaches to urban planning.
Throughout our history, we have also consistently worked with other organizations on civil rights issues because we believe that there is no difference between the way that people who are blind are being treated and the way that discrimination happens for women or individuals from different racial or ethnic or religious groups.

After rebranding itself in 2012, the LTL arm of YRC Worldwide struggled with debt, sluggish freight volumes, and high operating costs – culminating in what many thought might be a death blow for the carrier back in January when the International Brotherhood of Teamsters rejected a wage concession deal deemed critical in helping the company renegotiate debt and get fresh loans.
Yet some way, somehow, by February a deal ultimately got done between YRC and the Teamsters, allowing the carrier to access fresh capital.
Now, even with this harsher-than-normal winter in the U.S. hitting YRC's bottom line very hard, it's managed to keep its losses relatively stable in comparison to the far milder winter of 2012-2013.
For the year, YRC Worldwide reported operating losses of $31.2 million $3.36 billion in revenues, a slight decline from losses of $37.3 million on $3.2 billion in revenue for 2012. So even though revenues declined 2.2%, losses were cut 16.4%. Not what any carrier wants to see – profits of course are king – but that's a lot better than many expected.
For 2013, YRC Freight also noted that while tonnage per day declined 1.6% to 26,600 lbs. while the number of shipments fell 3.1% to 45.3, revenue per hundredweight only slipped 0.4% to $23.27 while revenue shipment actually increase 1.1% to $273.
For YRC Worldwide as a whole – the parent company for YRC Freight, Menlo Worldwide, etc. – consolidated operating revenue topped $4.865 billion, 0.3% higher than 2012, with consolidated operating income increasing $4.3 million to $28.4 million, with adjusted earnings hitting $257.7 million, a $16.5 million improvement versus 2012.
"Our 2013 operating performance was slightly improved compared to 2012, and though better, we were hampered by execution challenges of the YRC Freight network optimization in the second and third quarters of 2013, driver shortages during the summer months and tough winter weather late in the fourth quarter," noted James Welch, CEO for YRC Worldwide and who also stepped in to be president of YRC freight last year as well.
"While YRC Freight stumbled during 2013, our regional carriers delivered a solid performance with a 5.4% increase in revenue from increases in both tonnage and revenue per hundredweight," he pointed out. "The Regional carriers reported $79.9 million of operating income, an increase of $9.9 million over the same period in 2012. With an operating ratio of 95.4 for 2013, the Regional carriers produced results that were more than competitive within the industry."
Thus it seemed like a good time to bring in a new president to run YRC Freight – Darren Hawkins, 44, (at right) to be precise, a 24-year veteran of the trucking industry with nearly 19 years with YRC broken up by a four-year stint at rival LTL Con-way Inc.
"Darren brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the position," noted Welch in a statement. "Having started with Yellow Freight as a dock supervisor and rising through the ranks during his career, he knows this business. The combination of his expertise in both sales and operations will provide invaluable insight and will bring immediate and lasting value."
Hawkins will be put to the test early and often though as Welch made no bones about the challenges still ahead for YRC Freight.
"As we move into 2014, we will be focusing our efforts and attention on implementing the changes in our recently ratified memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Teamsters, solidifying YRC Freight's regimented service cycle, more aggressively managing our yield across our operating companies, investing in our technology and revenue equipment and reengaging our workforce," he explained.
"[But now] we have an experienced team, a more competitive union contract, a strong customer base and, for the first time in the last five years, we do not have the overhang of any near-term debt maturities," he stressed. "Going forward, we will be adhering to a strict set of fundamental freight processes that will allow us to improve our on-time service performance at YRC Freight much like we have at our regional companies. These changes will enable us to provide our customers the best possible service for their specific freight needs."
Will all of that be enough to finally get YRC out of the woods? This may be the year we finally answer that question.

Geniuses Representing Universal Pictures Ask Google To Delist 127.0.0.1 For Piracy
from the furiously-dumb dept
And while we're on the topic of self censorship, it's worth noting that Universal Pictures also asked Google, in a separate notice, to remove http://127.0.0.1 from the search results. The mistakes were made by the French branch of the movie studio, which only recently began sending takedown notices to Google. The company has reported less than 200 URLs thus far including the mistakes above.You can see the notice here.
...Should we delist this house from the address books?
Even more ridiculous? The organization representing Universal who sent this notice is TMG, or Trident Media Guard, which is the company that is officially working with the French government on its Hadopi copyright enforcement program. You'd think that a company so closely involved in such issues, working with a major movie studio, might try to be a little more careful about these things. But, of course, when have copyright defenders ever cared about collateral damage like this?
And here's the really crazy part: it's not like this is even particularly rare. Chilling Effects has long lists of DMCA complaints that point to 127.0.0.1. We're talking about a whole lot of armed militias running around utilizing a targeting system that wouldn't be trusted in a snowball fight, never mind in the realm of something as important as speech and communication via the internet. Here are just some of the most recent (many filed by NBC Universal):

Whether you're indulging in a relaxing getaway, loading up the family for an action-packed Spring Break, or visiting for business, the question of which Arlington hotel to choose has many possible answers.
On a budget? Hotels in Arlington TX offer plenty of options. Want fast access to your main attractions? All hotels in Arlington are within 5 to 20 minutes from Arlington's things to do. Or perhaps you seek romance and delicious room services? If that's the case – how about a spacious suite poolside to waterfalls, lagoons and "dive in" movies? Piece of cake.
What do these icons mean?
means that guests staying at that hotel have complimentary access to the Arlington Trolley, which runs in the Entertainment District to major attractions and hotels
means that this is a preferred hotel partner of Six Flags Over Texas
But hold on. Before you say "yes, please", you should know that we've also got charming bed & breakfast options that include lazy nights spent swinging on a stately front porch. Imagine it now...happy hours with creative cocktails after luxury spa treatments for two.
So, happiness pursuers, that's a short primer on where to hang your hat while you're hangin' in Arlington. The next part's up to you – find out more and book your room.

A lot of Wii U games are going to get released in 2013.
From Rayman Legends, Pikmin 3, Bayonetta 2, The Wonderful 101 and many others. Which games are you looking forward to? And which games are you going to buy?
Im srry but this isn't a good list. The WiiU is missing important third party titles like Dead space 3,Tomb raider,crysis 3, bioshock, Metro: last light, dead island and Naruto ninja storm 3. Most of the games on that list are "meh". There are no third party games on that list that make you go "I need this". Nintendo better do something quick because is not appealing at all.
Pikmin 3 is my most anticipated Wii U exclusive currently announced. Interested in Wonderful 101 and LEGO City Undercover too. I play my multi-platform games elsewhere because my friends are elsewhere for MP/co-op, or I can earn trophies/achievements on the others. If Nintendo had a trophy system, I'd probably buy more games for the Wii U. May end up getting Aliens Colonial Marines for Wii U anyway though since it has unique gamepad features.
IMO The only interesting one out of those games was Lego City undercover. Probably this and zombiu would be the first few games i get when i have the spare cash to get a wii u :D

Speaking of "balance" with a fighting game by mentioning battles against the CPU is completely irrevelant. What matters the most in the game would rather be the balance of the roster when 2 players are facing each other, factoring seemly the same skill level.
Also, Jessica is hardly close to god tier: she can packs a punch, but she is terribly slow, with a painful short range and is quite vulnerable to low hits, despite her reversal tools.
However, Kanon and Lucifer are indeed dominating completely the other characters, due to the combos they can dish out with various different approach, with an excellent melee range and speed.
The game needs more balance in its pacing and the possibilities in approaching the opponent due to characters distinctions (the fact they made the air guard possible will be a life saver, since it allow people not to be afraid of jump meta trap or anti air being a tad overwhelming).

Something I've been hoping for for awhile now would be like a guaranteed death type move. Kind of like a "fatality", but less generic. Like 410 blowing up the oponents heart, Battler's blue truth spires impaling, Shannon creating a cylinder shield that crushes the enemy against the wall, or Ange denies the enemy's existence. Kind of like how in BlazBlue there are two hyper combos, and then when certain conditions are met you can do a hyper finish.
Clearly I would be fine if the next OMK didn't add any characters so long as they balance everything and add more moves.
Reguarding new characters though, it looks like they're trying to focus more on the important characters as well as the popularity poll, so they'd wait awhile before touching characters like Gaap, or Ghoda since they aren't as important storywise. Now that they've taken care of the Chiru characters, we'll hopefully start seeing more minor characters in the future!

I just want Ange to be overall faster, I can counter (with Ronove) Ange's 5C on HIT. Kinda sad if you tell me, lol. Battler's close 5C should have more range, it whiffs horribly because it doesn't reach out far enough...

But, being serious I could still see... Featherine. Although she'd be much more interesting as some final boss in a boss mode with a ridiculous moveset or something imo. I think Sorcerer Battler is unique enough from regular Battler to make another character out of him as well.
The roster is already fairly filled out though so I don't think they need to worry about it too much. Next game I would ideally like to see at least 1 new character but have the focus be on mechanics and features, with maybe a second character being released in a later patch.

Kasumi- Uses guns and can call supprt goons
Ghoda- Fanservice (not that everyone else isn't)
Zerpar/Furfur- Stuns and tricks OR
Clair- assists from Zepar and Furfur
Natsuhi- Gun and protective magic with Krauss assist
Lion- If she's not an assist for Willard
Witch of Rokkenjima- Alternate Beatrice since she's certainly not lacking attacks
Young Kinzo- With Goldsmith abilities and a dragon super
Hidden Higurashi Character- Why not
Anyone past Gaap and BATTLER sounds pretty ridiculous, but it all just depends on how far 07th is willing to take OMK. It would be nice if they would hold another poll and openly state that it is meant to decide new characters to add...
Which really, with CROSS it already seems like the roster is bigger than most fighting games really.

Super long post is super long...
I'm super annoyed that people are discussing Higurashi characters in context of a spinoff of a seperate series and no one's said anything about MARIA(save orangejuicetang and for that, thanks)! Where's the love for the apprentice Witch of Origins! I want my sappy Maria and Rosa/Beatrice/Ange endings, dammit!
Well now that my rant is finished, MARIA is the only character that there doesn't need to be much thought put into her moveset. Gaap is portal spam and heel kick(said heel kick only being used ONCE in the entire series. Not even in ep 8...). Not fun to watch, but at least fun to play as. As for Sorceror BATTLER, I feel that they could just tweak the Battler we've got a little instead of making a whole other character. Change his C attacks to slashes with his golden longsword and change his Meta special to him stabbing said sword into the ground and firing off a giant Gold Truth!
Lion fits best as an assist to Will, therefore allowing a sappy Will/Beatrice ending. Zepar/Furfur would be awesome to play as, but them just loving themselves in Netplay is for the best. Suit!trice(with/without her hair let down) or Clair works as an alternate sprite, much better than crappy palette swap screams lazy, generic blond or some hatless Santa mess(GEORGE)...Genji's not really needed since we've got Bronove, in fact I'd rather see Virgilia tweaked to turn in Kumasawa and slap her opponents with a giant mackerel once she wins.
GOLDSMITH you say...It'd require some work since he's just a summoner and OLD, but yes. Oh yes. Magical Chef Gohda could be his assistant. Kasumi and the other aunts/uncles are irrelevant now that we have Musou Rosa. EVAtrice replaces Eva just fine(little dissapointed how there was no EVA/George ending in X), and Natsuhi/Kyrie/Kasumi would play the same as Rosa with minor differences(Albeit, this argument is irrelevant with the existence of Black Battler...).
Higurashi characters. Focusing on the characters who've had some sort of meta-awareness at some point in the series for whatever reason: Rika and Hanyu(duh), Rika's friends(Keiichi, Rena, Sonozaki twins), Akasaka. First off, I'd rather avoid a Higurashi Daybreak copy-paste, so an attempt at different movesets would be in order. Akasaka's George with more punching. Two Rikas too many already. Hanyu. Sonozaki twins are a mix of George's martial arts and Rosa's gun skills with some shock therapy. And Rena's nothing but a tease. Not to mention the fact that these characters(with the exception of Rika, Hanyu, and Akasaka) would be batshit-insane since they're not in Himanizawa.
In the end, leaving the number of characters at '19' is best, story wise. I'd prefer the focus to be on balance tweaks in patch form(As spending my money AGAIN for the same game would be a bit ridiculous. I gotta buy other stuff.) and more characters if they do that through said method. A new game would require to at least be playable by itself. More characters, stages, huge balance tweaks, and an overhaul of previous story lines into one overeaching plotline would also be important. I think unless that happens, the best we're gonna get is a port of the expansion and patches galore.

Considering how all they've released so far are expansion packs that would explain why all of the stories have remained the same. Meaning if they release an OMK 2 then most of the stories would probably be different. Also, in they're defense, there's a reason I specifically stated YOUNG Kinzo, and Natsuhi would be different in that she ranked pretty high on the poll, and she comes from a family of priests, AND she has a loving boxer for a husband. It's probable that Natsuhi could carry out a descent unique moveset. And I don't blame Sonozaki for wanting MARIA, but I find it kind of hard to see her dishing out normal attacks, plus she's almost as powerful as Featherine... Sounds like a tough call for a fighting game, but I'd still like to see it myself.

To be technical, shouldn't that more be 'will be as powerful as Featherine'?
Also, while Natsuhi does have the background to be an interesting fighter, the problem is she doesn't really have any scenes in the game itself to draw details from. (Also she's already a palette swap for Jessica iirc)
...a thought just crossed my mind. What if they made a Goat Character!?

I see the goat chaarcter being there; while the anime made the goats very weak, they are supossed to be much stronger than that adn the game needs more slow people.
nappi has been heavily hinted to be proficient wiht a naginata (spear) so as long as she makes it with one.

Reguarding characters, it'd a be neat, though nearly impossible that they would set it up that Eva-Beatrice was game master again in one of the future OMKs and she decided that since all the adults are boring and have no dreams she turns them into their 20s~ish. This would include any of the parent as well as Kinzo. Another witch could take opportunity in that the parents no longer would even know there children, if even their spouses, and could easily become the culprit, or just difficult to work with. A unique twist for the fantasy side on an incredibly fantasy dipped game board. It would be cool to see versions of the adults, such as Natsuhi and Rudoph, that could do some serious damage as fighters; and for Rosa without a child to meet the Rosa that would presumably be outside of the gameboard that has Maria. I suppose this would be more of a fanfic, huh?
Since people are mentioning that they want new characters, what about new stages? That seems even harder given the limitations of the Umineko world. Perhaps these would work:
Beach by the Docks, Golden Land, Kuwadorian Dungeon, Rosa's Home (Just for the sake of Maria's toys), or the Witch's Theatre.
Anyone else got any ideas?

Forgive me if any of these are already confirmed for Cross (or even worse, already in the first game) since I'm tired and can't really recall everything but some possible ideas for stages are: Golden Land, The City of Books, Sea of kakera, Closed Room, Outside Hachijo Mansion.

If the summer of 2012 was noteworthy for the arrival of world-class talent such as Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Thiago Silva to Ligue 1, then the following transfer window will be remembered for the dramatic drain of some of the league's best home-reared talents abroad for pitifully low prices.
What is shocking is not that players such as Yann M'Vila, Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa and Loic Remy – who played for medium to large domestic clubs - have decided to further their careers outside of France, but the fact that they have all left for teams considered miles from Europe's elite.
The January window is generally regarded as a period in which desperate clubs make desperate moves for desperately large sums of money. In France, however, there has been an unprecedented exodus of players for fees way below their market value.
Top talents to leave Ligue 1
|Rubin Kazan
Tough financial times are certainly one factor, with Marseille's decision to sell Remy to Premier League basement side QPR motivated by a desire to tighten their belts after a difficult period caused in part by the redevelopment of their Stade Velodrome home.
It is alarming that a club as large as OM, who were rated as one of the top 20 revenue earners in European football by Deloitte last week, typically boast an average attendance of over 50,000, and who reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League less than 12 months ago, cannot contend with the wanton influx of funds into even a poor Premier League outfit.
For a side such as Rennes, this issue is even more acute, as head coach Frederic Antonetti recently pointed out. Provoked into an outburst at the media following a defeat, the Corsican exploded: "The bottom club in England [sic] want to sign one of our best players. French football is drifting financially. We are limited."
Few of Ligue 1's top clubs have experienced the financial difficulties of Nancy in recent times, and the DNGC, the body who so stringently ensures that professional clubs in France are run in a responsible manner, have forced them to slash their wage bill.
January has proven a harrowing month for the Lorraine outfit, who are cut hopelessly adrift at the foot of the table. Star men such as Yohan Mollo and Andre Luiz were followed out the door by highly-promising full-back Massadio Haidara, who has joined Newcastle on a fee estimated to be just €3 million.
Toon boss Alan Pardew has understood that clubs in France are cutting back and has pounced on a market in which skilled labour is cheap. Had Haidara been playing at an English side, it is entirely feasible he could have commanded a fee of at least three times what the Magpies paid, given his quality and his potential at just 20-years-old.
French players already at the club have helped provide a magnet effect to attract others, with Yohan Cabaye's presence key in attracting talented right-back Mathieu Debuchy, who should go on to be a roaring success in England.
Pardew, who at times seems as if he is playing Fifa 13 on Ultimate Team mode and simply scours Ligue 1 to get his side's 'Chemistry' rating up, has also pounced on some mismanagement in Ligue 1 by acquiring both Yoan Gouffran and Moussa Sissoko for ridiculously cheap prices. While Gouffran represents something of a gamble despite a decent scoring record in Ligue 1 this season – it is questionable whether he is of the quality to feature either in attack or wide in the Premier League – the coup of Sissoko for a mere €2.5m is remarkable.
A France international and only 23 years of age, he may not have fulfilled his potential in Toulouse, but his physical and technical attributes mean that he should thrive in the Premier League. Le Tefece's failure to tie him down, and their subsequent refusal to sell him last summer, left them with the prospect of losing a man who came through their youth system for absolutely nothing in the summer, so they have been handcuffed into accepting a bid of a fraction of the player's worth.
Sissoko's team have slammed a "shocking attitude" from Toulouse's hierarchy over the situation, as the player has been exiled from the first-team squad while his situation remains unresolved. Rather than blaming the midfielder, they would do well to take a look at their own failure to act one way or another in a timelier manner as they always knew the possibility of this stalemate could arise.
Gouffran's case is similar, and that Bordeaux have allowed him to leave shows how eager they were for even small recompense for his services. They have been left with just one outright centre forward while Cheick Diabate is on international duty at the Africa Cup of Nations, David Bellion, who has not scored a league goal since 2009.
Newcastle's final January addition, who could prove to be their best, is Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa, who arrives from defending champions Montpellier. While la Paillade have lived within their means, they have been forced to sell to match the player's ambition. He could have left for free at the end of the campaign but chose to sign a new deal with the club that reared him, and after Montpellier's season went south from an early stage, a departure always looked likely.
Arsenal held an interest in him, and charismatic Montpellier owner Louis Nicollin was clearly frustrated with the defender's impatience to leave, describing him as "an ass" for electing to join a middle-of-the-road side such as Newcastle. Given the struggles of the defending champions, it is little surprise he wanted out promptly, doubtless fearing for his own reputation, and he may well go on to shine in England.
With a few days of transfer activity left, more big names could follow these men away from France. Lisandro Lopez and Michel Bastos are both hotly linked to depart Lyon – another club seeking to cut their wage bill – and significant arrivals are unlikely to be plentiful. Save Lucas Moura joining PSG, there have virtually be no meaningful imports in France so far this month.
The silver lining to this cloud is that youth academy products will no doubt be given extra time to shine, hoping to become the next group of M'Vilas, Yanga-Mbiwas and Remys, yet if Ligue 1 is to ever hope to become one of the truly great European leagues, it needs to arrest this trend of talented players leaving its middling clubs for abroad as a point of urgency.

Wienen Looks for
Third Consecutive Win at Ballance MX
Natalie Scores His First Win of The Season at
Ballance MXBowling Green, Ky. (April 2, 2011)
-The Motoworks Can-Am duo of Chad Wienen and
John Natalie is no stranger to the podium by
now, as they currently sit first and second in
the AMA ATV Motocross Championship Series
presented by DWT after round three at Ballance
MX in Bowling Green, Ky. After finishing second
to teammate Chad Wienen in the first two rounds,
Natalie finally put the pieces together to prove
that "Big Red" can be beat - taking his first
moto win and overall of the season.
Wienen took the ATVRiders.com Fastest
Qualifier Award to bank an extra $100 for the
day. Josh Upperman grabbed the moto one holeshot
aboard his Baldwin Motorsports JB Racing PEP
Honda and led for the first part of the race.
Natalie got a third place holeshot close behind
Upperman and Devin Heimes before making his move
into the lead around lap five.
"It was a good race," said the moto one
winner. "I got a pretty good start and after I
passed into the lead I just held on until the
end. Chad was right there the whole race."
Wienen got off to a rough start in moto one,
getting pushed out to around seventh. The points
leader quickly made his way to the front of the
pack and settled in behind his Motoworks Can-Am
teammate until he experienced some bike problems
when his rear shock broke. Chad pushed through,
though, going on to capture his first second
place finish of the season.
The Ballance Racing team experienced
continued bad luck at their home track as Thomas
Brown and Taylor Kiser both dealt with bike
problems in moto one. Kiser, who currently sits
in fourth place in the Can-Am Grand National
Cross Country Series XC2 class, broke his axel
on the first lap of the moto, leaving him out of
contention in moto one. Thomas Brown grabbed a
decent holeshot and pushed right outside the top
five until his bike broke down, leaving him with
another DNF for the season. Rookie Chase Snapp
put in an impressive ride aboard his Can-Am and
after getting off to a back of the pack start,
Snapp worked his way up to fifth behind
Florida's Jeremy Lawson. Walsh Race Craft Fox
Shox Maxxis FMF's Lawson maintained a consistent
pace in moto one to finish fourth.
Josh Upperman grabbed the moto two holeshot
and it wasn't long before John Natalie put his
Motoworks Can-Am back out front.
"The track was a little more technical this
week so and it picked out the riders a little
more," said Natalie. "I like the technical stuff
a lot better but this weekend I just got good
holeshots and went from there. Chad and I
battled it out for about five or six laps and I
just held on until the end."
Wienen got a bad holeshot in moto two but
quickly began picking off riders. Upperman kept
close behind Natalie until about lap six when
Wienen made his way into the second spot. It
didn't take long for Lawson to make his move
past Upperman to secure a third spot, giving him
a season-best finish on the podium. Lawson now
sits fourth in the overall point standings
behind Upperman.
After struggling with mechanical issues this
season, Ballance Racing's Thomas Brown was
finally able to cross the finish line on his
Yamaha machine. Brown maintained a consistent
pace throughout the moto and finished fifth,
giving him a tenth place overall for the day.
Brown currently sits in thirteenth overall in
the points.
After finishing second this weekend, Chad
Wienen still sits at the top of the point
standings with round three winner John Natalie
just six points behind in second. Only ten
points separate the third and fourth spots of
Upperman and Lawson and Joe Byrd rounds out the
top five eleven points behind Lawson.The AMA ATV
Motocross Championship Series heads to
Mechanicsville, MD for the Motoworks Budds Creek

Posted on 02/27/2013 11:10:23 AM PST by Nachum
RUSH: Donna Brazile tweeted that her insurance premium went up and she doesn't know why, and I am not kidding. I literally am not kidding. Donna Brazile, a tweet, "What's on your menu? I just got off the phone with my health care provider asking them to explain why my premium jumped up. No good answer."
Now, for those of you who do not know who Donna Brazile is (and there may well indeed be many of you who don't), Donna Brazile is a Democrat campaign specialist. She is one of the ranking unelected Democrats in the country. She ran Algore's presidential campaign. She was as close to Bill Clinton as you can get without being Monica Lewinsky. I mean, she is a ranking, powerful Democrat. She is constantly on CNN and other networks doing commentary and strategic analysis for the Democrat Party. She actually tweeted, "Just got off the phone with my health care provider asking them to explain why my premium jumped up. No good answer."
(Excerpt) Read more at rushlimbaugh.com ...
The thing is that we will NEVER win the argument on WHY. It will NEVER be that Obamacare is a horrible failure and causes drastic increases and will FOREVER claim it is the GREEDY health insurance companies.
You will not get it through their brain.
My insurance company explained the 400% increase as 'changes in the health care laws'. Which in country class language is 'You're now actually paying for everyone else, just like Obama mandated.'
$3000 2008 $5200 deductible 100% thereafter
$12000 2013 (same)
Of course they went up, how do they think they would go down under these new rules?
Donna never was the sharpest tack in the box...
What Donna Brazille is complaining about is not that 'everyone's' premiums went up, but why HER premium went up.
I mean.... don't they know WHO she is ?
Yes. The vast majority of lefties are true believers. They believe their own propaganda, no matter what evidence there is to the contrary. If Obamacare doesn't perform as advertised, it must be evil insurance corporations undermining it.

I have dreamed of Donna Brazile and Janet Reno..... leaving the American scene ala Thelma and Louise. I can hear it now....."let's not get caught."
"No good answer". There's your clue.
First shot in a "beat up those Eeeeeeeeevil Grrrrrrreeedy Insurance Companies" pogrom.
Nobody ever accused leftists of being smart.
Notice she looks for an answer from the insurance company and not the president who appointed the bureaucrats responsible for premium-hiking rules.
Well obviously her solution is to be elected to public office. Then she won't have to pay for her insurance, we will.
never attribute to malice that which can be explained by stupidity,
but also, never rule out malice.
LOL, I think you're exactly on the mark! After all the crap sandwich was for The Little Folk, not The Royals. Its sort of scary that you understand the liberal mindset so well. Everyone else missed it...
Hey Donna, why don't you believe you new SoS?
Democrats see what they want to see...
Republicans see what the democrats want them see..
Yeah!.. even on FOX...
Example.. Woodward cannot tell the difference between Watergate and MURDERGATE... i.e. fast and furious..
Example: O'Reilly thinks Obama is an honest player.. and not bent on sedition and treason.. i.e. Bengazi...

IRN: How does someone end up paying Rs 50 for a coffee and keep coming back for more?
Alok: (smiles) We are an affordable lifestyle format. So our pricing is actually lower than most of our competitors. Having said that, the modern cafe is the third place for the Indian consumer between the home and the office. With more and more Indians out in the workplace, the cafe provides a comfortable environment for him or her to spend time in. The customer attaches a high value to that experience in the cafe. The ease and privacy provided by Cafe Coffee Day helps the customer conduct that business conversation or that interview in a conducive environment.
IRN: People compare your model to Starbucks. Is that a fair comparison?
Alok: I don't think the comparison is unfair. However, we believe in adapting rather than adopting the model. In the West, there is a social relevance to cafes, as they are primarily coffee drinking nations. In India, cafes form a part of our extended lives. The cultural and socio-economic context is different.
IRN: What is your biggest strategic priority at the moment?
Alok: Driving penetration and frequency of usage. Per capita, we are still one of the lowest consumers of coffee. It is less than 100gms per year. Whereas, tea is 10 times this amount. We are putting in significant effort into building the category. We have a 'Friends of Coffee' initiative going on right now for example, where we educate the customer on different kinds of coffee and their attributes. We are also investing money in designing and selling coffee makers and related products. They range from affordable (Rs 260) to luxury options (Rs 3000) for all kinds of customers. The good thing is that we have received genuine interest from our customers who wish to know more about coffee.
IRN: Any innovations in processes or products at Cafe Coffee Day that you are proud of?
Alok: We are proud that we have been able to deliver millions of cups of cappucinos consistently day in and day out. It's not an easy task by any means. We have also done some good work with our backward integration program. We run a vocational program at Chipmangulur that has worked well and is a scalable model in providing employment to young people. The training focuses on processes and getting the employees to understand the impact of their actions.
IRN: Do your employees truly understand and appreciate coffee?
Alok: I would say that they understand coffee today. Love for coffee will happen, but that will take time. We have a Coffee Guru in the company who writes about different aspects of coffee and our store employees get to read and understand these on a daily basis. Coffee is a fascinating product. It is the only drink that engages all 5 senses.
IRN: What gets you up in the morning and excited about work?
Alok: (smiles) What gets me up every morning is the fact that someone else has gotten up before me and is busy at work. What is exciting about this business is that the opportunity is huge. It is the only beverage that one can start the day with and end the day with. We have only scratched the surface so far.
IRN: What keeps you awake at night?
Alok: Actually, I sleep pretty well. (pauses). The only preoccupation is how quickly we can bring about the change. Being a nascent industry, we have to create our own packaging, engineering and technology. There is very little outside support in this space.
IRN: How has CCD evolved over the years?
Alok: Did you know that we actually started as a cybercafe? So, it was an internet browsing space that also served coffee. Now, we sell coffee and offer internet as an add-on, so things have certainly changed since the early days. For the past several years, our strategy has been consistent, which is to grow coffee through the cafe space. We have adapted and made changes such as increasing our food offering, design changes, etc. However, we are still affordable lifestyle in terms of our offering.
IRN: How is the backend structured? What are the challenges?
Alok: We have invested in our vendor partners, from milk, food suppliers to ground level logistics. We manage our inventory churn well now. It has evolved over the years by implementing strong processes with the support of strong senior partners.
IRN: What is the future rollout strategy? People joke about how CCDs are everywhere nowadays.
Alok: For a country of 1.2 billion people, there are around 1800 modern cafes in the country today. I think we are far from saturation. At the moment, we are aggressively investing in expansion. The growth of modern retail has provided us opportunities to be in large and small stores, whether its bookstores, hypermarkets, lifestyle formats; also airports and other public places. As a society we are becoming a more outdoor society and are spending more time on the road. One of the top out-of-home needs is food and beverage and we can certainly play a big part in that.


text: My 5 week old baby keeps latching on for a few minutes and then pulling off the nipple which is really hurting my nipples now. We had weeks of no problem feeding and now I am really struggling. She is only feeding for 5 minutes at a time and wanting food every hour so this is also hurting my nipples. She mainly struggles at night and I know I have enough milk because she is spitting it out when she pulls off. Can anyone please suggest ways to get her to feed for longer periods?? I'm not sure what has gone wrong. I have tried to cut out dairy products as she has had green poo as well. Could this just be wind? She only seems irritated when on the breast and she seems to be hungry but not able to keep still for more than 5 minutes. I kept trying to put her back on but she just pulls off each time. Any help would be really appreciated.

The Monkey and other things
Here you are! Let's entertain ourselves for a minute or two talking about the monkey on infloox. Or, if you prefer, about monkeys in general, what they like or dislike to eat, and over what books they like to rest their drowsy head upon finishing their midday snack.
Alternatively, we can discuss what this website is about. Which of the two topics would you prefer?
That's what I thought. So let's change topic a bit.
infloox gravitates around one question:
What are famous people's favourite books...
... today and throughout history?
This is a simple question — but one with many possible exciting extensions and infinite opportunities for development!
From this, infloox has grown into:
- a search-engine book guide. It is available, and will continue to expand, in five languages;
- a new kind of encyclopedia, onto which everyone can add new data and vote;
- the first artificial generator of aggregate statistics (by country, group, or historical period) on the popularity of any work.
We want to help book lovers, music fans, film buffs choose what to read, what to listen to, what to watch. We want to help students understand which works were the most influential for specific figures as well as for generations as a whole. We want to help parents offer their children the same works that touched the lives of important people in the past. We want to provide young people with one more role-modeling tool, so that they can imitate, through reading, the famous people they most love. And, of course, as our content continues to grow, we also aim at becoming an academic tool for the more sophisticated readers, musicians, scholars.
What are the favourite books of the Einsteins, the Napoleons, the Beatles, the Shakespeares, past and present?
What were the favourite readings of past US Presidents (taken as a whole, as a generic category), of famous opera singers, of current pop-music stars, of 17th-century pirates and explorers, of History's greatest military generals? What books were they fascinated by, perhaps as teenagers — so much so that these works would leave a mark on all of their later life achievements?
And more than that! We want to know about these works in order of importance — as if in a sort of personal "best-sellers' list" for each famous person — always remembering to justify virtually all data through specific sources.
In addition, we have taken into account that famous people are also influenced not only by specific works, but also by the spirit of their generation, by the charisma of some great minds they encountered in their past.
The infloox search engine will allow you to ask all these questions: whether for a specific famous individual, or for a group as a whole — from the angle of specific activities and job categories, countries, local regions within countries, historical periods, cultural generations — and from all combinations and permutations possible and imaginable.
And that's only the beginning!
We hope you'll enjoy infloox™! Because what you read is what you become.

Australia Australia Civil Registration-Vital Records
Civil registration (vital) records were created by the government and include births, marriages, and deaths. They are commonly referred to as vital records because they pertain to critical events in a person's life. They are an excellent source of information for names, dates, birthplaces, marriages, and deaths. These records may also include divorce records.
For birth, death, and marriage records before civil registration, see the Church Records section of this article.
General Historical Background
The government of each colony or state began keeping civil registration records as follows:
- Tasmania 1838
- South Australia 1842
- Western Australia 1842
- Victoria 1854
- Queensland 1856
- New South Wales 1856
- Northern Territory 1870
- Australian Capital Territory 1911
At first, civil registration required the clergy to make copies of marriage, baptism, and burial records. These records are known as civil transcripts of church records. Because churches were involved in early civil registration, it is difficult to clearly distinguish between civil registration and church records. Later, about 1856, the responsibility for civil registration was placed in the hands of government employees independent of the church. Civil registration then required people to report all births, marriages, and deaths to a civil registrar.
Information Recorded in Civil Registers
When civil registration first began, there was no common standard of recording information, so the information listed may vary from state to state. Later records generally give more complete information than earlier ones.
Birth records may provide the following information:
- Surname and forenames of child
- Date and place of birth of child
- Sex of the child
- Multiple births
- Surname and forenames of father
- Age, birthplace, and occupation or rank of father
- Maiden surname and forenames of mother
- Place and year of marriage of parents
- Age and birthplace of mother
- Number and sex of previous issue, if deceased
- Name, relationship, description, and residence of informant
Marriage records may provide the following information:
- Surname and forenames of parties
- Occupations and places of residence of parties
- Ages and places of birth of parties
- Marital status prior to the marriage
- Date and place of marriage
- Name of celebrant and denomination
- Names of witnesses
- Surnames and forenames of parents
Death records may provide the following information:
- Surname and forenames of deceased
- Date and place of death
- Occupation, age, and sex of deceased
- Place of birth and place and date of marriage of deceased
- Length of residence in Australia and in what colonies, states, and territories
- Name of spouse and names and ages of living children of deceased
- Number and sex of issue, if deceased
- Name and occupation of father
- Maiden surname of mother
- Cause of death and duration of last illness
- Name of medical practitioner
- Date and place of burial
- Religion and name of minister or witness
- Names of undertaker and informant
- Residence and relationship or description of informant
- Date and place of civil registration
Indexes to Civil Registration Records
Each of the several states in Australia have created indexes to their civil registration records. These indexes are on microfilm or microfiche and cover births, deaths, and marriages from the beginning of civil registration in the state to the present day. Where available, indexes can help you find your ancestor more easily.
New South Wales has an index to births 1788-1908, deaths 1788-1978, and marriages 1788-1959 available online at http://www.bdm.nsw.gov.au/familyHistory/historicalIndexes.htm.
Western Australia has online indexes of their civil registration beginning in 1841 at http://www.bdm.dotag.wa.gov.au/_apps/pioneersindex/default.aspx
Queensland indexes of birth to 1914 and marriages and deaths to 1929 are available online at https://www.bdm.qld.gov.au/IndexSearch/BirIndexQry.m.
There are also Pioneer Indexes on compact discs which index civil registration records and some church records. These indexes include the following:
- New South Wales Pioneers Index, 1788–1918
- The Federation Series:1899–1918] (part 2 of New South Wales Pioneer Index)
- The Tasmanian Pioneers Index, 1803–1899
- The Victoria Pioneers Index, 1837–1888
- The Western Australian Pioneers Index, 1841–1905
These indexes are available in the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA; genealogical societies throughout Australia; and many local public libraries all over Australia. These indexes may or may not available at Family History Centers.
A compilation of most of these Pioneer Indexes was produced by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in a set of four compact discs entitled Australian Vital Records Index 1788–1905. It is available for purchase, except in Australia, through the Salt Lake Distribution Center, 1999 West 1700 South, Salt Lake City, Utah 84104-4233, USA and online http://www.ldscatalog.com,Vital Records Indexes.
Locating Civil Registration Records
Birth, marriage, and death records may be obtained from the state civil registration offices or archives in Australia.
Pre-civil registration records from many towns are in the various state archives and registrar general's office. Many of these records have been microfilmed and are available at the Family History Library. However, for more recent records, and for those not yet microfilmed, contact the appropriate state archives.
If your request is unsuccessful, search for duplicate records such as church registers. For more information on church registers, see the Church Records article.
To order a copy of a birth, marriage or death certificate, contact the registrar general for the state and territory where the event occurred. Click on a link to learn more.

Records at the Family History Library
The Family History Library has microfilmed very few Australian civil registration records because the government has placed restrictions on public access to these records. By law, personal application must be made to the various state archives for copies of the certificates.
To find civil registration records in the Family History Library, look in the Place Search of the Family History Library's catalog at http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Library/FHLC/frameset_fhlc.asp under:
There may also be information under:
Archive offices may have inventories and guides that describe the record keeping systems and available civil registration records in Australia.
Medical Records
Medical records for Australia include hospital and asylum records, infectious disease registers, and annual alphabetical lists of invalids. Of particular genealogical value are the registers of hospitals and asylums. These registers usually include the patient's name, sex, age, marital condition, residence, occupation, and religion. Other details may be listed, such as the patient's admission and discharge dates, cause for admission, death date (if the patient died while in the hospital or asylum), place of origin, ship and port of arrival, and miscellaneous remarks. Some medical records have been indexed.
The following source provides information about hospital and asylum records in Australia and where they are deposited:
Vine Hall, Nick. Tracing Your Family History in Australia: a guide to sources'. Second Edition. Albert Park, Victoria, Australia: North Vine Hall, 1994. (Family History Library Call Number 994 D23v.)
The Family History Library has collected some medical records and indexes to medical records, including those for hospitals and asylums. These records are listed in the Place Search of the Family History Library Catalog under:
Indexes, where available, are listed by Place Search in the Family History Library Catalog under:
Orphans and Orphanages
Orphans are children who were either parentless or homeless because the parent(s) could not care for the child. Hundreds of orphans were sent to Australia from the British Isles. Details about these orphan immigrants can be found in ship passenger lists. For further information on ship passenger lists, see the "Emigration and Immigration" section of this outline.
There are several types of Australian records about orphans including orphanage registers, school records, apprenticeship records, and charitable relief office reports. For more information about orphanage school records, see the "Schools" section of this outline.
Orphanage registers give detailed information about each orphan, including name, age, parent(s), ship of arrival, religion, and remarks (such as death date, discharge information, and whether apprenticed). Many of these records are indexed.
Orphanages in Australia date back to almost the beginning of the British settlement. Orphanage records in Australia can be found in national archives, state archives, and other local repositories and libraries. See the following for a list of orphan and orphanage records in Australia and where they are deposited:

18th Century
If you thought stringing popcorn for hours could get tedious, imagine fumbling around trying to attach a multitude of lit candles to a tree using melted wax or pins. Revelers eager to keep their holiday spirits bright needed to keep a bucket of water or sand close by. A few erstwhile inventors tried to figure out the best way to do this safely, including clip-on candleholders with an attached tin cup to catch the melted wax. Despite the dangers of mixing open flame with drying-out trees, candles would remain a Christmas staple into the early 20th century.
Shortly after the Illustrated London News ran a picture of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert gathered around a lit Christmas tree with their children, British society embraced the tradition. Strangely, in 1850 an altered depiction of the Royal Christmas ran in the influential Godey's Lady's Book—removing such details as the Queen's tiara and Prince Albert's mustache—where it gained popularity in the States as the first "influential American Christmas tree."
