Censor Cuts Kyaa Super Kool Hain Hum Promo
The Censor Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has asked producer Ekta Kapoor to tone down the theatrical trailer of her forthcoming film Kyaa Super Kool Hain Hum (KSKHH) to get a U/A certificate.
The new theatrical promo of KSKHH was to be attached with Rohit Shetty's Bol Bachchan which releases next Friday. Rohit Shetty is quite close to both Ekta and Tusshar Kapoor and has even done a cameo in KSKHH. However, the CBFC found a few portions in the trailer too vulgar to be allowed to be screened with a U or a U/A rated film.
The team at Balaji Motion Pictures is now re-working the trailer so that it gets a U/A certificate and is shown along with Bol Bachchan. Meanwhile, the uncensored version of the trailer is already posted online.

Here's my purple Scrap Jar blocks with the setting I decided on. This decision took FOREVER!
Last night I played with my EQ program trying out different colors and setting blocks but they were all too traditional or too bright or too white. I wanted to bring in a little gray or black to tone everything down but still let the purples shine.
So I brought out all my little pieces of low volumes and black or grays on white. Loved it!
Then I had to decide if I still wanted setting blocks or just sashing. Since I wanted this quilt to be a lap size, the sashing made sense.. Now the cornerstones....I wanted something modern but something that used up more scraps so I played with the little leftover pieces from the star centers.
The plus signs were more modern than a regular nine patch and if I added a different purple center then I would get the design I wanted AND use up lots of purple pieces. Added bonus...when I cut the sashing I had lots of little black on white scraps to use in making the cornerstone background.
With any luck I'll have the top done tomorrow!

It's here! It's here! Can we open it? Huh? Can we?
Our Secret Paws came from Baby and Lucky and their Mom Rhonda who live in the Michigan Mitten just like we do! We are the gold star by the TC and they are the gold star by the D. We live where they call it "Up North" and Baby and Lucky live "Down State". They do not have a blog (yet?) but the Momma went to like Mom Rhonda's Facebook page so we could get to know them better. This is such a pawesome way to start.
First, there was this beautiful card. It looks so pretty with the lights on the snow... the Momma said she would love to go with the Daddy on a sleigh ride!
the Daddy opened the box for us and the presents just tumbled out! WOW!
Tipp went right over to check things out...
Harry got right in to smoking his Nip Cigar!
Oh Harry....
Uh... that's right Tipp, keep walkin', Possession is 9/10ths of the law, and I got some bunny kicking to do!
Since Dexter wouldn't give up the nip kicker for the photo, and Harry tore right into those extra special noms, and Tipp was off batting a mousie down the hall, we have to say that the gifts were a big hit. We also wondered how Baby and Lucky knew about Tipp's recent dental adventure, cause they sent him the special Greenies to help keep his teeth clean and his smile bright!
We are so happy to have made some new friends for the holidays and maybe we can all coax Mom Rhonda into starting a wee blog for Baby and Lucky. We'd sure welcome them to the blogosphere!
So thank you, thank you friends and have a Purry Catmus!
Harry, Dexter and Tipp
the Momma Carolyn and the Daddy Mark

Today, I got this question in comment of my previous tutorial on How to Create Hyperlink on Blogger Post.
Barbara Fowlds L.Ac.: "Can I put a hyperlink in my header of my blogspot blog and if so how?"
My answer is Yes you can. And here's how to do it in the simplest newbie way.
Before that, I assume you may wanted to add this hyperlink on your Blogger Header Description because maybe you want to invite your visitor to your business website or any other sites you have. For example, I may like to invite my blog reader to read my art blog at http://artofapogee.blogspot.com and my blog description says something like this:
Feel free to visit Art Of ApOgEE Blog to see my arts and order some graphic design books
And now we wanna link that blue "Art Of ApOgEE Blog" to
This is the simplest way. You just have to copy paste and no coding . Here's the step:
- Open up New Post on you blogger, select Edit Html and type the words there:
- Select the text we want to link and create the link:
Just follow the same way like we did in How to Create Hyperlink on Blogger Post.
- Select all text and copy:
- Open the Layout tab and Edit your header:
- Paste the copied text to your Blog Description and Save:
That's all, now you have the link on your Blogger Header Description. Enjoy coding and Happy Blogging!!

Understanding and Addressing Violence Against Marginalized Communities In The South | Amelia Island, FL | November 11, 2016
Grantmakers for Southern Progress, Funders for LGBTQ Issues, Change Philanthropy, and ABFE co-hosted a post-conference session at the Southeastern Council of Foundation 2016 Annual Meeting. The purpose of the session was to serve as a call to re-evaluate, rethink and reframe relationships among funders and vulnerable Southern communities.
GSP Leadership Retreat | Atlanta, GA | October 6-7, 2016
GSP held its 2016 annual leadership retreat in Atlanta at the National Center for Human and Civil Rights. Over the course of two days, the members of the GSP steering committee will convene with core members and funder partners, including Annie E. Casey, Open Society Foundations, Mary Reynolds Babcock Foundation, Blackbelt Community Foundation, Four Freedoms Fund, Marguerite Casey Foundation, Educational Foundation of America, Hill-Snowdon Foundation, MF Goodrich Foundation, National Committee on Responsive Philanthropy, Baptist Health Trust, Ms Foundation, Southern Education Foundation, Kandeda Fund, Greater New Orleans Funders Network, and Southern Partners Fund.
#FundSouth Session at the Joint Affinity Group Unity Summit | Washington, DC | June 6-8, 2014
The South has proven its ability to organize quickly and powerfully in response to attacks on low-income families and marginalized communities – including the recent coordinated grassroots response to the Zimmerman verdict; the striking down of all progressive policies in North Carolina; national delays for comprehensive immigration reform; and the erosion of voting rights for underrepresented communities, among other challenges. These well-executed responses are the result of something bigger—an emerging and encouraged movement for Southern transformation in the 21st century. Since the Gulf Coast crisis in 2005, this new generation of leadership in the South has committed to build the kind of infrastructure and movement strategies that are able to confront and withstand attack.
This session explored these grassroots movements, philanthropy's response to these attacks on social justice in the South, and some of the ways we are looking to respond effectively to movement building opportunities across the region.
Stronger Partnerships for Structural Change: A Strategy Session on Working Well With National Funders | New Orleans, LA | November 12-14, 2014
Partnering with national funders to support work in Southern states is easier said than done. Sometimes, even with generally shared goals, we face barriers based on differences in the language we use, how we talk about change, and how we approach potential partnerships. This workshop, a mini-plenary at the Southeastern Council on Foundations 2014 Annual Meeting, showcased specific ways in which foundations or funder networks have sought to use the recommendations from GSP's report As the South Goes towards stronger partnerships. Presenters included:
- Ben Francisco-Maulbeck – Executive Director, Funders for LGBTQ Issues
- Meg Coward – President, Laughing Gull Foundation
- Frank Fernandez – VP for Community Development, Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation
- LaTosha Brown – GSP Project Director
GSP Leadership Retreat | Atlanta, GA | March 6-7, 2014
GSP leaders met to focus on vision, values, mission, and core strategic work. GSP's plan for the next several years was developed based on all of the good thinking at this retreat.
After Alabama: Immigration Legislation and Community Response in the Changing South | Webinar | March 2012
In March 2012, GSP sponsored a webinar on immigration policy and organizing in the South, in partnership with the NFG Working Group on Labor and Community Partnerships, PIP, GCIR, FCCP, and Interfaith Funders. Chris Kromm with the Institute for Southern Studies provided the demographic and political context. Cathy Montoya, then Senior Field Program Manager with the Leadership Conference on Civic and Human Rights provided an overview of the status of immigration policy and related advocacy in the South, and Kathy Sykes, Lead Organizer with the Mississippi Immigrant Rights Alliance grounded us in what a successful campaign in a Southern state can and should look like (i.e., long term, multi-racial, connected to the faith community, connected to labor).
Click here for the audio recording of this webinar.
GSP followed this in April 2012 with a teleconference, Funder Strategy on Immigration Policy in the South, to focus on strategy sharing among funders interested in doing more in the region on this issue.
Pre-Conference Session at the Neighborhood Funders Group 2011 Annual Conference | Albuquerque, NM | October 25, 2011
Grantmakers for Southern Progress (formerly the Southern Organizing Working Group) hosted an orientation and update session for current and prospective Working Group members, and kicked-off their Southern Social Justice Dialogue Series in a pre-session convening at the 2011 NFG Annual Conference.
This first Southern Social Justice Dialogue offered an analysis of the major bellwether Southern trends and policies related to labor and worker rights, immigration, and civic engagement, and provided examples of effective strategies used to push back against these policies in the South. The purpose of this session was to engage funders in a dialogue about what we can learn from the struggle for social justice in the South, and how that can be applied to efforts in other parts of the country.
The panel, moderated by Flozell Daniels, Jr., President and CEO, Foundation for Louisiana, featured Chris Kromm, Derrick Johnson, and Maria del Rosario Rodriguez. Featured here is Chris Kromm, Executive Director of Facing South and the publisher of Facing South (the Institute for Southern Studies' online publication), and Southern Exposure magazine.

It'll make you feel like an old time radio man.
My father spent more than two decades as a radio host. I grew up spending an enormous amount of time in sound studios, recording booths and my dad's own personal studio. He always had big, beautiful microphones around him. Giant, heavy things made out of stainless steel and rough, stippled black metal. The microphones of my childhood around carried the same great weight that my father and his co-workers invested in their passion.
These days, I interact with more microphones than ever before. My laptop has one. There's a tiny one in my Bluetooth headset, and another in my smartphone. I even have a little directional mic I can plug into my laptop to record press briefings. But none of those microphones give me any sort of thrill. They're tools. Small, efficient, and effective while utterly lacking in any sort of soul.
And then there's the Yeti Pro.

Things You Should All Know… which you won't be told in class. So read this!
There are links to other important pages all students should explore farther down this page, and in a drop-down menu from the nav-bar above, but to get started, read this page.
Class Cancellations Due to Foul Weather Policy
There will be class as regularly scheled unless otherwiuse stated right here where the x's are . xxxxxxxxx
If the Pittsburgh Public Schools have a 2-hour delay or are closed, Fireborn MAY close or delay also. Schools sometimes close because of cold weather, but cold weather is not a sufficient reason for us to delay or close. Delays and closings for Fireborn will be posted here by 8:30 a.m. for morning classes and 4:30 p.m. for evening classes. We will reschedule if feasible. I probably won't be notifying you by text or email, so check here on the website.
The Flow of Pots Through the Studio
Class 1: Learn the basics and make some pots. Class 2 through 7: Trim pots from the week before and make more pots. By week 6 you should have enough pots to begin glazing some of them. As part of a community of potters that produces hundreds of pots a week, I cannot emphasize FLOW enough. Pots move through the studio like cars on an assembly line. Each week you need to move all your pots along to the next stage. Trim what you threw last week and glaze what was bisque, and take home any finished work. Otherwise, we have a conveyor belt breakdown, and no one's work can move forward at any stage. We run out of shelf space and production grinds to a halt. So each week you must trim, glaze and take home finished work.
On week 8, if you are not returning you will only trim and glaze. If you are returning next term, you can make more pots on week eight. Class 8: This is the last class of the term. If you are not returning next term, READ THIS (click here)
Partly dry pots are called leather hard. They are stiff like leather. Dry, unfired pots are called greenware. Greenware is hard but brittle. "Greenware" will break down in water. Greenware gets fired to 1800 degrees F. and becomes bisque ware. "Bisque ware" has undergone a physical change and will no longer breakdown (dissolve) in water. It is stronger than greenware and very porous. Next, you will wax and glaze your bisque ware. Then it goes through a second, much hotter firing in the huge gas kiln where temperatures reach 2400 Degrees F. It takes 18 hours to reach the maximum temperature and then it cools for another 18 hours. Finally, your pots are all finished. They are now food safe, non-pours and will last thousands of years. They can be used in a dishwasher, microwave, and oven.
Note: New students will not have any bisqueware until week 4, because that is how long it takes for pots you made on week one to become leather hard, get trimmed, dry and get bisqued.
Signing Your Pots
All student pots must be clearly identifiable at all times. Freshly made pots get a paper label with your last name, class symbol, and the date they were made (Hetrick symbol, 8-25-02, no initials, please). After you trim your pots, sign the bottom with your last name, your class mark, and the date they were trimmed. Pots lacking legible identification will be discarded.
Parking Issues
Click here to learn about where to park, permit parking, and street cleaning.
Wax the bottom and up a full 1/4 inch from the bottom of the pot. If your pot has a lid, see Dan for special instructions on waxing lids. Clean your brush well, close the wax jar and change the water when you are done. If you spill wax, change the paper on the workbench. Use your brush for applying wax and clean it well in hot water. Use the green wax on the bottom of your pots. The yellow wax is for lids but don't use it without getting special instructions.
Glaze during the last hour of class. Each week, glaze ALL your bisque ware. We don't have room to store your bisque ware for weeks. They will be fired as is, so do a good job glazing and sponging. After glazing, allow 10 to 15 minutes to clean up. Wipe tables, bucket lids, and work surfaces well and leave a clean studio. Students who have been at Fireborn for less than a year are in the beginner glazing group.
Buying Clay
Please buy clay at the beginning of class. Clay purchases in the middle of class are disruptive. Clay sales are debit, credit, or check only – no cash.
Students will receive 25 pounds of clay on the first day of the term which was included in their tuition. Another 25 pounds of clay may be purchased for $36. After that clay costs $50 for 25 pounds. The price increase covers the added expenses associated with high volume production. Classes are designed for learning. There are limits to the size of the work you produce and the amount of clay you can purchase. Fireborn's classes are not intended for production throwing. If you are running a business you need to be doing that out of your own studio.
Reclaiming Your Clay
Squash clay onto the plaster bat so there are no sharp edges and put your initials on it. The fan may get turned on, so don't let your clay get too dry. Bag your scrap and wedge it before using it again.
Notebook / Journal / Sketchbook
Keeping track of where your pots are in the studio cycle and how you glazed your work is helpful. Some people photograph their pots after trimming and glazing. Some people sketch them. Some number them. Click here to see a sample journal entry. I suggest you maintain a notebook or sketchbook. You can buy one or print this Student Notebook. A sketchbook is also useful for designing new work.
Trim Wheels
I will clean the floor around them. Don't sweep during class because it makes dust which is unhealthy to breathe.
Cleaning Up Your Wheel
Clean your wheel, especially under the wheel head and then sponge up the dribbles and clay globs on the floor around your wheel. Wash splash pans in the sink. Dump the slurry in the sink, dregs go through the screen and into the gray slop bucket. Scrape bats. Splash pans should be put back on the wheels. Foot pedal should be set up on the wheel so the floor can be easily cleaned. When removing splash pans and wiping off wheels, clay sometimes dribbles onto the floor. Please use a towel or sponge to clean the floor around your wheel.
Pottery Tools and Supplies
You can buy most tools at Fireborn. The Clay Place, in Carnegie on Walnut Street, between the railroad tracks and the Chartiers Creek, has a wide variety of specialized tools. For ordering online, try Axner in Florida.
Miscellaneous Information
Please bring your own towel.
Evening classes, please be cleaned up and ready to walk out the door at 9:30. Morning classes, please depart by 12:30.
To maintain studio flow: ALWAYS, every time you come to class, trim everything and glaze everything.

The Orphan Train
Posted on October 4, 2016 by admin in Book Reviews
Wow! Reading this book really puts life in perspective…
It's fiction, but it's based on true stories and the author does an excellent job of transitioning between memories and life as we know it. A modern day foster teen does her community service hours working for a 91 year old lady who wants to clean out her attic before she dies. The two of them begin comparing their childhoods and find that they have both been orphans practically their whole lives.
It is a very enjoyable read despite the struggles each of the women endure, because life (fiction or nonfiction) has a way of taking lemons and making a cool refreshing drink to be shared. Christina Baker Kline offers up a really GOOD read and it doesn't matter whether you are a history buff or not. You can LOOK INSIDE and/or order it on Amazon by CLICKING HERE.
A SPECIAL BLESSING: This book is available to be given away to the 1st person who requests it by emailing us at email@example.com because we have read it and we want to bless someone.

Punting on politics is a fascinating activity for those who like the exciting players in this game of words especially in the USA. American voters are engrossed in the often controversial words coming from the various political candidates that are running in the presidential election. At this point the two main parties in the States, the Democrats and the Republicans, are choosing their representative choices for the race for the top. An interesting new, real money site that tests your knowledge of political and financial events by allowing the gambler to make and trade predictions on the future has been active since November 3, 2014. The site is called PredictIt, and it involves political futures trading on a political prediction market. PredictIt has more than 60,000 users, with 19,000 currently active members. Some economists and political pundits believe that prediction markets are more accurate than polls, though the evidence isn't very clear.
PredictIt is a project of Victoria University of Wellington, in New Zealand established to research the way markets can forecast future events. PredictIt uses a continuous double auction to sell shares for each event in its markets, meaning that for every person who predicts that an event will take place, there must be another person who predicts that it will not. The project is supported by Aristotle Inc a private US firm that deals with voter registration data and acts as a fund-raising consultant. There are markets for all the upcoming primary states such as who will win each party's nomination. There are also presidential general election markets and even whether there will be a federal minimum wage hike in 2016.
Betting on elections is illegal in the USA and strictly enforced in Nevada and Washington but the prospect of betting on elections is gaining more mainstream traction. In 2014, Nevada State Senator Richard Segerblom introduced legislation that would allow Nevada sports books to take bets on political elections.

Eberron - Return of the Lich Queen
Siberys – The Dragon Above: The Astral Sea
Siberys the Dragon Above, encompasses the heavens and all they contain. Flashes of color, streaks of light, and strange blossoms in the dark of night excite the imagination of the world's inhabitants.
Crossing the dome of the world is the Ring of Siberys, a wide swath of golden dust stretching from one horizon to the next. During the day, the Ring is faint; at night, it is a brilliant belt of scintillating specks weaving through the heavens. Twelve moons hang like jewels in the night sky, some huge, others small and distant, and a few mere pinpricks of light, scarcely able 10 be seen with the naked eye. Each moon moves through its phases, waxing and waning in its own time. Farther out lie the stars, silent guardians of tile greatest mysteries.
Dragons and mortals alike gather these distant lights into constellations, making of them gods, omens. and portents of events to come. Finally, beyond even the stars, lie the farthest reaches of the Dragon Above: the end less expanse of the Astral Sea.
Baator the Nine Hells is populatcd not by angels but by devils or baatezu, and ruled by the archdevil Asmodeus. Unlike the angelic rulers of the other astral dominions, who claim only to be dedicated servants of the gods, Asmodeus claims to be a god in physical form, ruling his territory and his own servitors with an iron grip.
The presence of the Nine Hells in the world is felt primarily as an influx of evil. Where Baator's influence is strong, evil and chaotic evil creatures feel empowered to make attacks on their enemies.
Daanvi, the Perfect Order, is the manifestation of law in the Planes of Eberron, and its opposite is Shavarath. All things of Daanvi live in perfect harmony born of order. On the plane all spells with the lawful descriptor are automatically maximized and enlarged, while chaotic spells are impeded. Though there are no founded links between changes in Eberron during coterminous and remote periods of Daanvi, many claim that centuries in which Daanvi are coterminous are historically more stable while periods when it is remote are historically unstable.
Irian, the Eternal Day, is a plane of positive energy. Some might equivocate this to paradise. A brilliant white sun hangs in a beautiful blue sky while rivers of liquid glass flow down from mountains of quartz. The plane is suffused with positive energy not enough to harm life, but enough to sustain unusual forms of life, though not neccesarily good aligned creatures. Just like its opposite, Mabar, the energies of this plane work in opposition to the natural decay and birth of life. In the short period of time when Irian is coterminous with the Material Plane life blossoms. Days are brighter, colors are vibrant and sensations are more intense. Positive energy spells are enhanced in these times, however the manifestations occur only for the hour surrounding noon. The plane is coterminous for ten days in Eyre. When Irian is remote the opposite takes effect. Night becomes darker, numbness hangs in the air and spells with positive energy are less powerful. These manifestations occur during the autumn month of Sypheros for ten days. An almost permanent manifest zone of Irian exists in Aerenal.
Lamannia, the Twilight Forest, is a realm of raw unbounded nature. Untouched by civilization the realm is full of virgin forests, majestic mountains, rolling hills, steamy jungles, festering swamps, and all manner of terrain. Inhabited by all forms of plants, animals and magical beasts as well as a number of lycanthropes who have made a new life for themselves on the plane after fleeing Eberron during the time of the Silver Flame's Purge. Regions of unspoiled nature floruish in times when Lamannia is coterminous with the Material Plane. Animals breed more prolifically and plants grow more verdant. When Lamannia is remote nature diminishes. Cultivated crops grow poorly and animals product small litters.
Mabar, the Endless Night, is a blackened realm where the faintest spark of light is quickly devoured by the unending darkness. It is a plane suffused with negative energy and the antithesis of Irian. But, just like Irian, the energies of this plane work in opposition to the natural decay and birth of life, which makes a natural source for necromancers to draw power from. Negative energy spells are maximized and all the inhabitants of this plane are immune to effects from negative energy. Positive energy spells are impeded here. The nights grow blacker and more dangerous when Mabar becomes coterminous with the Material Plane. Travel to Mabar becomes as easy as stepping into an area where there is no light, and inhabitants of the plane slip out from the shadows and into the world. The plane becomes coterminous on three dark nights in the dead of night on the nights of the new moon closest to the winter solstice. Consequently when Mabar is remote the darkness seems to sap from Eberron. These periods occur every five years on the nights of the full moon around the summer solstice.
Shavarath, the Battleground, is a region ever gripped in the throes of war as three groups vie for control of the plane, a host of celestial archons, an infernal reginment of devils and a swarming horde of demons. Forever in a rough balance of power each of the three factions lay siege to one anothers fortresses only to lose their own holdings on other fortresses in the process. Beyond these fortresses the plain stretches infinitely, with low hills providing the only terrain feature. The plane is aligned by territory. Those areas held by the archons are mildly good and lawfully aligned while those areas held by devils are mildly evil and lawfully aligned and that held by the demons is mildly chaotic and evil aligned. Magic spells that mimic, create or enhance weapons as well as spells that excite hostile emotions are extended, while charms and pacifisms are impeded. Whirling blades travel the plane like flocks of birds seeking out non-native inhabitants and attacking them. In times of conflict, when Shavarath draws near to the Material Plane, the effects spill over into it. Magic spells are enhanced or impeded as they are on the Battleground and reports have even come of flocks of whirling blades seen on the battlefields. No known effect manifests when Shavarath is remote.
Syrania, the Azure Sky, is the perfect paradise that most people would want to retire to in the afterlife, but currently the only known residents of Syrania are angels. With cities floating in a crystalline blue sky thanks to the light gravity on the plane each one goverened by a powerful Solar, it's hard to imagine a more perfect existance. Sharn the city of towers is built in a Syrania manifest zone providing the city the ability to support the monstrous towers of the skyscraping metropolis. Clear blue cloudless skies and deep midnight blue skies mark a coterminous Syrania. When Syrania is remote the skies are slate gray or white and the nights are lightless and black. Sharn has a significant manifest zone of Syriana.
Eberron – The Dragon Between
Poised between the splendor of the Dragon Above and the horrors of the Dragon Below is Eberron, the Dragon Between & the Material Plane. Eberron is a land of contrasts – incomparable beauty is matched by hideous evil.
Dal Quor
The Realm of Dreams. Dal Quor is a unique plane in that it is shaped by the dreams of the inhabitants of the Material Plane. Every tree that you dream of sprouts in Dal Quor, but every nightmare monster lives there as well. Because of these principles, the plane is an almost constantly changing place, where no terrain is permanent. The inhabitants of the plane are mostly the quori, coalesced around the Dreaming Dark.
The plane came into existence when the first being slumbered and allowed the energy of their mind to escape the Material Plane. As the total number of dreaming creatures has increased, the plane's power and size has increased.
Most planes manifest themselves physically on the Material Plane, but because of Quori Giant War, Dal Quor has been forceably disconnected, and any cotermination is probably millenia away.
Dolurrh, the Shadowfell, is a hopeless gray waste where mortal souls go after death. It is not a reward, nor a punishment, it simply is. Dolurrh has heavy gravity, it is timeless and people who visit Dolurrh are slowly overcome with apathy and eventually fade, turning into a shade. When Dolurrh is coterminous to the Material Plane slipping occurs between the planes. Ghosts are more common and spells to resurrect the dead often result in bringing back more spirits than originally intended. When the plane is remote, resurrection magic does not work at all and the only way to bring a soul back from the dead is to physically travel to Dolurrh and retrieve the soul, though the native inhabitants of the plane don't take too keenly to having souls being taken. The shadar kai are said to have originated here.
Thelanis, the Feywild, is similar to both Eberron and Lamannia in that it bears untamed expanses of rugged forests and crystal-clear waters dotted with small settlements. Arcane spells are enhanced on Thelanis and time flows differently. Every day in Thelanis equals a week on the Material Plane, this time catches up to any person traveling back to the Material Plane. If one spends too much time on Thelanis moving back to Eberron might suddenly kill the person of old age. When Thelanis is coterminous to Eberron certain magical areas appear such as faerie rings and faerie mounds often accompanied by mysterious lights. These areas are conduits between Thelanis and the Material Plane and inhabitants of either plane can find themselves easily transported back and forth. Arcane spells are extended when cast within 300 feet of these sites and fey creatures are more populous on Eberron during this time. When Thelanis is remote fey creatures grow less prevalent. Some argue that the fey hibernate over this period, but these claims are unsubstantiated by any real evidence. The feyspires that have appeared in Khorvaire come from Thelanis.
Khyber – The Dragon Below: The Elemental Chaos
Passages in the deepest parts of Khyber the Dragon Below open into the Elemental Chaos, also called the Chaos of Khyber. Full of destruction and danger, this is the birthplace of the fiendish Overlords of the Age of Demons. These overlords, referred to as Na Vakhti include beings that are identified as demons or tana'ari, primordials, demon princes, and even deities.
The influence of the Elemental Chaos is felt most strongly in the subterranean realm of Khyber, but it occasionally reaches as far as the surface of Eberron.
A few regions with in the Chaos of Khyber have a certain permanence that is fundamentally alien to its entropic nature.
Risia, the Plain of Ice, is a plane that is layer upon layer of snow and ice with a constant blizzard raining down new layers of sleet snow and ice from a dark grey clouded sky. The very atmosphere freezes the lungs and steals away the breath. The average temperature hovers around 0 degrees. Most of the effects of Risia's coterminous phases are unfelt by the general populace of Khorvaire since these effects mostly take place in the Frostfell and the Everice regions of Eberron. These areas grow more intesely cold and temporary conduits to Risia open up in these areas of intense cold allowing natives of the plane to slip into the Material Plane. Mostly, this is unfelt since few of the civilized races exist in these extreme environments. Similarly these remote areas experience a decrease in temperature around times that the plane is remote, though the change in temperature is only faintly noticeable.
Kythri, the Churning Chaos, is the opposite of Daanvi. Highly morphic the land is a roiling mass of land, water, air, fire, magma, steam, and all other manner of elemental forces. The plane is in a constant state of unrest though some can keep a location from morphing by strength of will, if only for a short period of time. The gravity changes randomly in random directions, and spells with the chaotic descriptor are automatically enlarged and maximized while spells of the lawful type are impeded. Kythri does not follow a set planar orbit but rather lurches through the Astral Plane at random intervals sometimes hurtling through space, sometimes slowing to a crawl. Because of this feature Kythri might be coterminous with the Material Plane for a day or a century and might be remote for only a few months before jumping back into touch with the Material Plane. Popular superstition link coterminous periods with eras of unrest and war. Many scholars believe Kythri was coterminous during the first decades of the Last War but no firm evidence backs these claims. As of yet, there does not appear to be any effect on Eberron when Kythri is remote.
Fernia, the Sea of Fire, is a continually burning landscape. Plates of compressed ash and debris float atop oceans of liquid flame as mountains ooze with molten lava. When Fernia is coterminous to the Material Plane areas of extreme heat become even more radiant and entering pools of lava may whisk one away to Fernia. Likewise inhabitants of Fernia can slip into the Material Plane and magic cast in these areas with the fire descriptor is automatically enlarged and empowered. When Fernia is remote, areas of extreme heat are reduced in severity. Spells with the fire descriptor are more difficult to cast, except near hot-spots.
Xoriat – The Far Realm
Xoriat is a fourth anomalous plane existing beyond the known cosmology. Beyond words or comprehension, Xoriat is aptly called the Realm of Madness. Not only do its alien geometry and unspeakable inhabitants seem like the product of a madman's nightmare, but any who visit Xoriat risk finding their minds shattered by the experience.
Xoriat has been likened to a stack of translucent parchment, an apparently infinite connection of layers and dimensions. Its inhabitants exist on multiple layers simultaneously. Massive, drifting entities too large to notice visitors to the plane; free-floating rivers of milk-white liquid; rains of blue globes falling from unseen heights, only to burst and release horse-sized ticks when they strike another object—such are the madness-inducing features of Xoriat. Gelatinous worms wriggle from layer to layer, wending through tentacled vegetation encrusted with orange moss, all suspended above an amoebic sea. Over this mad realm the daelkyr are absolute masters.
Xoriat's last period of being coterminous with the Material Plane was a disastrous period of warfare. Over seven thousand years ago, Xoriat became coterminous and the daelkyr sent their minions into Khorvaire to conquer it. Before the orc and hobgoblin druids known as the Gatekeepers managed to end the planes' alignment, the mind flayers and lesser minions of the daelkyr had decimated the hobgoblin empire of Dhakaan. The Gatekeepers' magic was less cataclysmic than the giants' attempt to close the connection to Dal Quor, however; Xoriat moved quickly out of alignment but is sure to return one day

Opentracker Racing is challenging the way suspension upgrades have been done in the past by using high quality roller and spherical bearings instead of rubber, polyurethane or bronze for the pivot points in our suspension and steering components. Removing bind from the pivot points is a huge gain for a performance driven vehicle. The reasons why a roller product improves how an early classic drives is why we do what we do.
Friction Free Roller Suspension and Steering gives the classic a smoother ride and better handling. Roller suspension improves road racing lap times, drag racing 60′ times and Street Performance. Modern ride quality and handling for early Mustangs, Falcons, Cougars, Comets, Fairlanes and other 60's – 70's Ford, Mercury and AMC/AMX products.
We proudly feature USA made products.
Custom suspension kits are our specialty. Street Performance, Pro-Touring or Race applications. Our goal is to be part of your project, not just supply the parts for it.
I purchased a set of roller spring perches for my 68 Fastback. After doing the Shelby drop and installing the perches found the vehicle way different to drive and loving it , and the mechanic loved the ease of refitting compared to the old original perches. I love the roller spring perches, they were the best thing to help with the front end so far.
Thanks so much for the call! So nice to receive a personal touch and to deal with a knowledgeable person that loves these old cars too.
Thank you so much for chatting with me about my car. Not only have you save me a ton of money, I've also been looking at the car differently and coming to appreciate it in a different way.
The information you gave is incredibly valuable and hard to research. The car sits great on the new springs.
Thanks you for getting my spring seats out the day they were ordered! I received them on Friday afternoon and installed them in less than an hour. Great service and fantastic quality! I will be needing more sets of these in the future and you will be my FIRST call. Thanks again for helping me with this project and being an awesome company to deal with.

I just put a set of your upper control arms on a 66 mustang convertible, these arms are almost too beautiful to hide under there.
– Jack L.
"I am writing to tell you how pleased I am with your roller spring perches which I installed in my 1966 Mustang. They have transformed the way the car handles road imperfections. Now the front suspension actually rolls over bumps instead of bashing into the bumps. That is the only way to describe how the ride felt with the factory stock spring perches. The Opentracker roller spring perches really make a huge difference. I teamed them up with Bilstein shocks front and rear and the result is truly unexpected. I have attached a picture of me in my Mustang enjoying a track touring event at Road America last summer. I was able to keep up with everyone on the track and the car handled perfectly and predictably, even at 100+ mph speeds. Thanks for inventing the roller spring perch and making it available to Mustang loyalists. Well Done!"

7. Add cooked blueberries to mixture, mixing thoroughly.

Quoted from gentsky
Hi Guy,I am building a new dll which contains a lot of assembly language so decided to use your release 16 and take advantage of your CODE, END CODE facility. It is very useful and is working well but I did spot a few minor anomalies when setting up sections. They are not serious but I have created a small test script to demonstrate them and have attached it here for your consideration.Regards,Alan

The book Mohammed : A Prophet for Our Times returned to uncle. Not the lady author. Neither uncle nor the nephew know her personally.
Uncle is a voracious reader. Nephew knows it for he sometimes helps is gathering books for uncle's insatiable appetite. But uncle will not read books on fiction. That takes some time to sink in. Uncle will not also read books on social movements, earth shaking ideas and mind boggling theories. The worst category of books that uncle will allow to be thrust into his hands are the ones on the topics of the type Islam-and-West. And these too disappear faster than they appear. Of course some of them are returned after reading first few pages.
So what kind of books does uncle read? "Give me the stories of the Elders."
And why did the nephew return Karen Armstrong to uncle? Because nephew has become like uncle, in matters of books. The nephew finds it difficult to read books on Islam by western authors. Even those authors, like Karen Armstrong, who do do not adopt offensive attitude.
And how does the process of changing preferences take place? It looks rather out of ordinary. The short of the long answer is that this happens because of the company of the People of Allah. And here we are talking about Hazrat Shaikh (DB).
All Praise is for Lord Most High.
But then isn't the Holy Prophet (PBUH) the Elder after Lord, as is often quoted? This should qualify the present book to be eminently readable. Why was it returned after reading first half of the first chapter?
With no offense intended to the decent author it can be said that when a westerner looks at Muslims, or Islam, or even the Elders then, though she or he might get an enormous amount of truth in their analysis, they miss that crucial element that you will call heart warming for lack of better description. The author indeed eminently qualifies to be among those who have taken a positive attitude towards Islam. This is no mean feat considering the history of calumny hurled at Islam by the west. But even then there is a long distance to be covered by those who want to understand Islam. And that includes Karen Armstrong. Of course there are others too. We shall not speak, at least for the time being, for the other type of authors.
Message to them? Say there is no god but God, you will succeed.
And that is the end of invitation by the Praise to Lord Sustainer of the worlds.

1984 starting problems
So I've been trying to get my car started and it's
been a hassle I tried spraying my carbarator and I
don't think that's the problem my biggest concern
is that my car has a manual override lever to open
the gas tank which I have pulled could that be the
reason or would it be somthing else...
4 Answers
Only thing that does is open the fuel door, it is not electronic but just a cable, you could have a fuel pump failure, the inertia switch could be tripped, blown fuel pump fuse, bad fuel pump relay, etc. Try spraying some starter fluid down the intake, if it fires even briefly then it is a fuel delivery problem, if it doesn't, then it is a no spark condition. After that then you what way you need to go .
It turns over and I did spray the carburetor it starts to try then bogs about after 4 sec I feel it might not be delivering gas could u give me some ideas that might be doing that
Fuel pressure and flow tests, you have already confirmed that it has spark, if the flow or the pressures are low then replace the fuel pump and filters.
Okay I'll try that thankyou so much!

Heifer International CEO Pierre Ferrari to Participate in Chicago Council Symposium
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (May 17, 2013) Heifer Internationals President and CEO Pierre Ferrari will participate in The Chicago Council Symposium in Washington, D.C. on May 21. The one-day meeting brings together world leaders from science, business, philanthropy and development to discuss topics including future food demand.
Keynote speakers include: Dr. Helene D.

According to The Chicago Councils press release, a new report will be discussed at the symposium that puts forward policy recommendations to define the next steps for U.S. global food security policy.

Welcome to Meridian Veterinary Services
Meridian Veterinary Services (formerly Mendocino Coast Equine), Is led by Sarah E. Quentin, D.V.M., C.V.A., and offers veterinary acupuncture, equine craniosacral assessment and therapy, complementary medicine, veterinary orthopedic manipulation, and nutritional consultation for your horse, dog or cat. Using a combination of traditional Chinese medicine, conventional western medicine and other complementary therapies, Dr. Quentin seeks to create an optimally healthy, balanced and happy animal.
Meridian Veterinary Services comes to your home or barn. Horses may also be trailered to Fort Bragg for treatments. For appointments or more information please phone (707) 964-5792 or email at firstname.lastname@example.com. Dr. Quentin also sees dogs and cats at Covington Creek Veterinary Hospital in Fort Bragg. You may phone them directly for appointments at (707) 964-6109.
Veterinary Complementary Therapy
In my practice, acupuncture is combined with other complementary (or integrative) therapies such as craniosacral therapy, herbs, homeopathics and nutritional supplements for your horse, dog or cat. Veterinary Orthopedic Manipulation (V.O.M.) with the activator method is sometimes applied. Western medical therapy is added if indicated.
Western medicine works best in certain situations. For emergency situations such as colic or broken bones, acute or severe infections or conditions, western medicine is the treatment of choice. For correct diagnosis through X rays, endoscopic evaluations, or advanced diagnostic imaging, western medicine excels.
In addition, for horses, there is no substitute for well balanced hoof trimming for conditions such as navicular disease and proper saddle fit for back soreness. It is imperative to look at the whole horse for optimal health and performance.
I am happy to work with your regular veterinarian to devise the best plan for your pet.
"Confront the difficult while it is still easy, accomplish the great task by a series of small acts...Prevent trouble before it arises. Put things in order before they exist"

Lately, Madisyn loves to try to make deals with us. We'll ask her to do something, like pick up her toys, and she'll say, "Okay, I'll pick up my toys and then I can get a treat, that'll be the deal?" It's so cute that I tend to give in more often than not.
Or she'll ask for something, like chicken nuggets for dinner, and we'll say, "No, not today, we're going to have spaghetti for dinner."
She'll reply, "Okay, first I'll have pasketti and THEN I can have chicken nuggets, that'll be the deal?" :) She's our little optimistic.
Little boy Landon, as I like to call him, has been trying to talk lately. He babbles (i.e. mamama, dadada, nanana, ooooooo, etc…) and lately he's begun to try to say "Uh oh." Occasionally it's "Uh oh," but more often is "ugh (soft) OH (loud)" It's fun to hear him try. He also loves waving when people say "Hi" or "Bye."
He's still creeping along furniture and doesn't seem too eager to take steps on his own (although Rob swears that he took a step by accident the other day).
Let's make a deal

By: Claudia Repsold
It's impossible to talk about venture capital in Brazil without mentioning Francisco Jardim. He is the founder of SP Ventures, one of the most prestigious VC companies in the country. Jardim analyzed more than 2,000 startups that applied to obtain an investment from the São Paulo Innovation Fund (Criatec), where he acts as the fund manager. He lives and breathes venture capital.
Brazil & U.S. Biz chatted with Jardim in Miami after he participated in a panel at eMerge America. The panel was called "Stories from South: Brazilians Rising & Shining on the Global Stage".
Brazil & U.S. Biz: What determines whether a company has the potential to receive investment or not?
Francisco Jardim: Well, we always analyze three issues. The most important factor is the team involved in the project. Good professionals are essential. We consider if the team is flexible enough to make the changes that are necessary to grow, and steady enough to maintain the good work that represents the core of their business.
Before investing, we also carefully look at the market that the company is getting into. We evaluate if it is a vast market or a niche product. We always prefer a product that can be scaled and has the potential to reach a large audience.
Finally, we examine the product [or technology]. There are two kinds of products: the vitamins and the painkillers. The vitamins represent [a] cool product — it's nice to have, but you might not need it. On the other hand, the painkillers are the must-have products. We are interested in investing in the painkillers: the products that solve problems and [that] people must have.
These three factors — the team, the market, and the technology/products — are the key components that must be aligned. The investor always asks himself: [Will these] people be able to complete the task? How big is the market for this product? Does this product solve a problem, or is it just another cool gadget? An investable company has a great team to oversee the project; the market is large; and the product is required.
Brazil & U.S. Biz: No matter how technological we get, people will still be the main asset of a successful business. Nowadays, people are more likely to invest in their own business than pursue a high-paying corporate job. Is this a paradigm shift?
Jardim: Entrepreneurship is a priority for the new generation. This is great, because it's human capital that pushes innovation forward. In 2007, when I started in the venture capital business, the brightest students in the classes aspired to work as investment consultants. Others were looking for an opportunity to climb the corporate ladder, but very few were interested in opening their own businesses.
Now, this has changed completely. Of course, you still have people that target the corporate jobs; however, you will find many young people who want more than money. Young people want to be independent, to be challenged, to do something that has impact. In addition, schools, colleges, and universities are discussing more about entrepreneurship, encouraging students to think about it. The mentality and the entrepreneurial environment changed, which eventually led to [improvements in] the quality of entrepreneurs. People are much more prepared to start a business today than they were 10 years ago.
The mindset has changed tremendously. Today it's not just about investing financially in a company; you also invest your expertise. We are dealing with "smart money," represented by well-informed investors who have knowledge and experience in the business [in which] they are investing. The smart money is always looking for intellectual capital to bet on; however, the entrepreneur needs to have acute awareness of the business in order to get the investment. Smart money is not about the volume of capital invested. It's about investing, wisely, your main asset: your financial knowledge.
Brazil & U.S. Biz: How much of this "smart money" is available in the Brazilian market?
Jardim: In the last decade, there has been a large growth of this type of investment. We have three pipelines of smart money in Brazil. First, there is the investor that started back in 2004, and so forth; they learned through their failures to smarten their investments up and became what we called smart money.
We also have skilled professionals from other fields that migrated to VC investments, bringing not just money, but also their expertise. Finally, we have the international investment funds that started investing in Brazil, introducing their proficiency and know-how to the Brazilian market.
Brazil & U.S. Biz: When should a startup begin to focus on the international market?
Jardim: A startup should first focus on growing organically, getting well-established in its own primary market. To internationalize a company is an intensive step. In order for that to happen, it's necessary to replicate validated models that worked well in Brazil, and create a new model to attend the demands of the global market.
You also have to think about [this]: If you create something that works in Brazil, you will probably have copycats in other countries. How will your company deal with those competitors? Are you prepared for the competition and the copycats abroad?
Brazil & U.S. Biz: Picasso used to say, "Good artists copy; great artists steal." Copycats are inevitable.
Jardim: Indeed, it is part of any business; however, copying can be a catch-22. Many times, a product can do well in one place and terrible in another. People reason that if it worked well somewhere else, it will do the same here. They copy a validated model that used to work in another place, and suddenly, it doesn't work anymore.
It's very difficult to compete globally, especially when a company has to compete in a well-established technological ecosystem such as [those] in the U.S., Israel, or U.K. To execute any project, you will need professional people and money. Without both tools, you will be condemned to fail. You should allocate your resources wisely and [only] think about expanding internationally when you are fully prepared for the global competition, because the terrain is tough.
Brazil & U.S. Biz: Life is tough, but it's also full of opportunities. What is your venture capitalist advice to entrepreneurs who want to seize an opportunity?
Jardim: If you foresaw a business opportunity or had an idea, be aware that probably someone, somewhere had the same idea or is working on the same business opportunity you are.
The competition should drive you to innovate and prepare your company to do better. Never forget that you cannot go far just by yourself. It is critical to your success to find a good team of professionals to work and create a management system that operates without you. That independence in the future will guarantee the saleability of your business. Nobody will acquire a business that depends on its owner to function; therefore, from the beginning, put a management system in place.
A business is not an idea. It's a structure based on professional people, financial capital, and measured performance. You should know your numbers, have your financial projection[s] ready, and have all your paperwork complete. Any serious investor will ask for this before considering an investment.
However, the most important of all is: Do not be afraid of failure. On the contrary, you should embrace it. The only opportunities you really lose are the life experiences that you refuse to learn from.
