Perhaps if I didn't act calm constantly I wouldn't have such large bursts of overreaction to such small things. The inside of my mind is a minefield of proportions so massive it would put a war battleground to shame.
Perhaps if I didn't act calm constantly I wouldn't have such large bursts of overreaction to such small things.
The inside of my mind is a minefield of proportions so massive it would put a war battleground to shame.
Had I the capability to present my immediate feelings on matters that bother me, maybe I would have better control during moments of high emotion.
Insecurities and moments of feeling as thought your ideas are not valid take their toll on you, regardless of who you are.
The difficulty with expression of thought is the fear that nobody is listening. And with that, comes the fear that nobody cares.
you start to feel as though no one cares about you at all.
Keeping your thoughts to yourself leads to a build-up of unanswered questions and responses and frustrations that all rush back to you in moments of silence.
It leads to struggling to speak amongst groups of people. It leads to thinking that your own thoughts are irrelevant.
Admittedly, in recent times, I've gotten better. I am no longer as afraid as I once was of being myself. It still scares me, mind. I'm trying my best. I'm improving as quickly as I can.
It may be at a snail's pace, but it's still an improvement. It's tough. It's always been tough. It's always going to be tough. But baby steps are important.

What does stock market milestone mean for you?
Stock market reaches new milestone; what does it mean for you?
If you don't follow the stock market, or you're the biggest investor--today's developments on Wall Street will undoubtedly affect you.
The bull market, which describes a period of time in investing when stock prices continent rise, and when investor confidence is highest, stretched 3,453 days on Wednesday.
The remarkable run began on March 9th, 2009 following the aftermath of the Great Recession and the biggest drop in the stock market since the 1930's.
Wall Street might seem like a world away, but it affects your wallet.
If you're a first time investor just setting up a 401K account, or if you're getting ready to retire, today's developments will have an impact on the trajectory of your financial future.
Garro Eillis, a financial advisor and co-founder of Moneywise Wealth Management in Bakersfield joined 23ABC's Tim Calahan live in studio Wednesday to discuss the history day on the market.
"For investors they should stick to the strategy," Ellis said.
The market isn't showing signs of slowing down despite turmoil surrounding politics and the Trump administration.
Ellis says the market has succeed despite a constant barrage of negative headlines surrounding the president. He says as long as people are spending, and consumer confidence is up, this economy will continue to thrive.
"If the politics doesn't affect your spending, that's a good thing for the economy," Ellis said.
Ellis calls it the 'Trump Trade Effect,' the market he says went up, whether mathematics justified the values or not, but he says recent tariffs imposed by the administration could stand to change that.
"Tariffs may be affecting other parts of your portfolio," Ellis said.
Foreign and emerging markets are down overall after Trump's tariffs were announced earlier this year, but that may signal an opportunity to diversify your investments.
"If you're just investing in United States stocks, you're probably doing then wrong thing," he said.
Ellis says he sees more value right now in emerging and international markets, but cautioned the effect of tariffs may still be felt. "I would dip into it," Ellis advised.
The best advice Ellis says; diversify and stick to your strategy.


The sporadic cold days of an elongated winter seem to have finally passed in Durham Region, meaning that summer is officially here and with it, the annual Ribfest held in Pickering's Esplanade Park.

I love dosas and like it more when you can right away make them with out fermentation process. This is very old recipe from my Atte and Amma's kitchen. They learnt it from their mothers. I am not sure as why it's called as Uppu Menasu Dosa (Uppu means Salt and Menasu means Chilly in Kannada). Well what's in name? It's been my favourite dosa since as long as I can remember having it for the first name. Some what after coming here I had forgotten its existence. Yes… not anymore… Not for long time….

You can also add ½ cup of grated coconut while grinding.
I'm tagged by Pooja for the MEME How my blog buddies look like. Well… it was rather difficult one as here I have to write about blog buddies whom I have never seen. I have my own vision of some blog friends with whom I interact on this virtual world of internet on almost daily basis. Although I have not met anyone of them (may never meet face to face), I have developed a very strong emotional bond with them. I think of them in terms of colours as every individual has some stong colour which portraits them. I have had never thought that I will be making so many friends here in food blogging and this is my tribute to all my blog buddies.
She is mischievous and naughty to the core with streak of moodiness. She has 100 watts smile and light any place with her good sense of humour. One thing she can't stand is sitting idle for long. Always up to something or the other.
She is one pretty girl with short and silky hair. She is adventurous and fun loving person. I don't know why I always imagine her in jeans and t-shirts.
She is one busy mom with big dreams for her two little darlings. She has beautiful smile and dimple chin.
I feel she is much organised and also vivacious reader. I imagine her in kid's park playing with her little one. She is passionate about everything she does and she is a terrific cook.
She can beat everyone's record of cooking and blogging. One enthu person who has so much to give it to the world. If anyone deserves an award for enthusiastic food blogger, then I will definitely vote for her.
I always visualise her as a leader rather than a follower. Intellectual person with brick sized book in her hand and her spectacles fixed on tip of her nose. She knows what she wants from her life and she is on the way of making it happen.
One busy mom working in her white kitchen creating mouth watering delicacies for her family and friends. I think that she has her camera around her neck while cooking (looking at her step by step shots of cooking). She is humble and kind. It is very difficult to imagine her as she has so many 'avtars'.
Ahhh… she is one sensitive soul who cares deeply for her family and friends especially her better half. She loves to make friends and can easily mingle with any crowd. She is the one who has gone through many difficulties in her life and has emerged as a role model for others. I imagine her as a person with beautiful eyes which reflects her lovely heart.
She is a doting mother who loves to bake goodies for her little princess. Her world revolves around her daughter. I feel she is a person with big dream which she has tucked away for now, but I don't have any doubt about her achieving it one day. And one more thing, I think she has long beautiful hair.
Although I have seen Seema, Soumya, Trupti, Dilip, Vani, Supriya, Manjula and Nidhi, I have not met most of them. So here is the picture I have of them.
One creative lady blessed with magic touch. She can turn shambles into palace and give complex to any top interior decorator. Talkative who can talk for hours without taking any break.
She has a heart of gold and a face to match. Kind hearted doctor who can never think of harming even an ant.
She is a multi-tasker, able to juggle many things at once. She'd be cooking dinner and helping the kids with homework and answering the phone and keeping an ear on the radio, all at the same time. Her world revolves around her family.
Proud mommy and wonderful wife cooking in her kitchen with her 'Ginger'. She is gorgeous yet so simple.
He is a lover of everything 'hot' and 'spicy'. He is a doting husband who loves to cook and experiment.
She is a fun loving, bindas girl who lives her life to the fullest. She has got the attitude to match her personality. Bubby and friendly and also no nonsense girl.
Here comes our little master chef for whom we all are proud of. She is born with silver spoon in her 'hand' to create magic with food. She is a lover of everything elegant and elegance is her second name.
She is an attractive girl with flawless skin and beautiful eyes. Quiet,kind hearted and fun loving.
Uff... That was really difficult but it was real fun.... I quite enjoyed thinking about it.

wow, that's awesome. you not only cook great but can read minds. but i know what you mean. in fact, wired magazine has an research project where they're trying to tell a person's personality from their online presence. and if i may be bold enough, here's my analysis of your personality from what i've read of your blog so far: you are a collector of things, you're nostalgic, you dress casually most of the time, you probably listen to jazz. would love to know if any of this is true.

I did make the dosa yesterday. It was tasty crisp a little different in taste . But the spices compensated for the fermentation taste. We liked it.Thanx for sharing the recipe.
Hi Supriya,thanks for your impression of me dear.you hit the nail right non the head!I do have long hair although I can;t say it is beautiful..I try to maintain it..love long hair.


Lately I seem to be buying pink things. I really don't have all the much pink in my house, but it feels fresh right now. And a little bit of soft pink just seems to feel light and summery. Here are a few of my recent thrift store finds.
While shopping for paint at Home Depot this week, I came across the new line of Martha Stewart paint. I decided to try a sample bottle of Ballet Slipper Pink. It's a really nice shade, soft and subtle. I thought maybe I'd paint a few picture frames or other small items. Instead, I painted a cute little table and it turned out to be very sweet.
Don't you love the glass knob?
And by the way, I gave this little table two coats of paint and only used about half the sample bottle, which cost less than $3.00. The paint went on smoothly and covered well. I'm headed back to try some more new colors. Thanks Martha!
Are you feeling the need for a little pink?
I found this table at a yard sale. The top is made from wide wood planks and the legs are chunky and fabulous. It didn't actually look like this at the yard sale. It was in a pile of pieces in the grass, but I knew it was going home with me.
My hubby gave me that "what is she thinking" look when I got home. But while I was at book club a few days later, he surprised me and put it all back together. Thanks dear!
A good sanding lightened the stains. They just added to the character. I loved the wood so much, I didn't want to totally cover it up. I decided to give it a whitewash and go for a beachy feel. I basically just diluted white paint with water and rubbed it on with a cloth.
It now has a beautiful aged patina.
A final coat of wax gave it a silky smooth finish. From a pile of pieces to a fabulous new table. I love it!
A shout out to Ryan for competing in his first triathlon!
He looks pretty good for someone who just spent the last two hours swimming (in a murky lake), biking and running!
Have you discovered your inner athlete, taken on a new challenge or stepped outside your comfort zone lately?
Real estate experts say that it takes a prospective home buyer only eight seconds to decide whether or not they will buy a house. First impressions are everything! But why only think about curb appeal when selling your house? The exterior of your home greets you each and every day. Is it warm and welcoming? Does it all come together to create the feel you want?
My son lives in the Federal Hill neighborhood in Baltimore. Federal Hill lies just south of the city's main business district, is adjacent to the famed Inner Harbor area and lies within walking distance of the Orioles and Ravens stadiums. It boasts a wide variety of shops, pubs, restaurants, museums and the popular Cross Street Market. It's a pretty great place to live. And if you like looking at houses, just grab your shoes and start walking.
Federal Hill has block after block of beautiful brick, late 19th Century row houses. I have been known to practically trip on uneven sidewalks or run into trees because I'm so busy checking out the houses. On my most recent visit, I decided to take my camera along and take pictures of front doors.
I'm always really taken with the differences in style, color and personality of people's entryways. It's the first thing noticed by visitors or passers-by. And check out the door knobs, knockers (lots of crabs and shells) and letterboxes too. It all comes together to create the first impression!
And finally, this is is Ryan's house. It's a rental and it was just put on the market, so he's moving around the corner. But the first thing they did before they put up the For Sale sign was give the front door a fresh coat of white paint.
And if a walk through Federal Hill leaves you hungry and thirsty, stop by my favorite spot, Pub Dog Pizza and Drafthouse. They have a very friendly staff, a cozy atmosphere and the best pizza selection, plus their own home-brewed beer and even root beer.
I'm sure you can find inspiration from a walk through your own neighborhood too!

Mohan Samant (b. Manmohan Balkrishna Samant in Bombay (now Mumbai), 1924; d. New York City, 2004) was an early Indian modernist painter and a member of the Progressive Artists Group. He was also a lifelong player of the sarangi, an Indian bowed instrument.
Samant was born in Goregaon, a suburb of Bombay, India, in 1924. The fourth child of eight, he grew up in a cultured environment. Samant's father, Balkrishna Ramchandra Samant, was a headmaster, and his mother a homemaker. His younger sister, Vasudha Patil, an accomplished novelist, has written that their parents encouraged the family's interest in music, art, theater, movies, travel, and writing, and Samant displayed an early proficiency in and dedication to both music and the visual arts.
Samant received his diploma from the Sir J.J. School of Art in 1952, where he studied under S.B. (Shankar Balwant) Palsikar. The following year he won the Governor's Prize at the Bombay Art Society Annual Exhibition.
In 1952, Samant joined the Progressive Artists Group and exhibited with them in several shows, including the 1953 exhibition, Progressive Artists' Group: Gaitonde, Raiba, Ara,Hazarnis, Khanna, Husain, Samant, Gade, at the Jehangir Art Gallery, Mumbai. He also participated in the Bombay Group, a successor to the Bombay PAG. According to artist Baburao Sadwelkar, the Bombay Group, which also included Hebbar, Ara, Chavda, Kulkarni, Laxman Pai, Har Krishnan Lall, and Sadwelkar, had "six big exhibitions [between 1957 and 1964], which were received extremely well." Samant did not mention the Bombay Group in interviews or recorded conversations, but a review from the Times of India confirms that he had works in their November 1956 exhibition.
In 1956, Samant was awarded the Gold Medal at the Bombay Art Society's group exhibition, the Gold Medal at the Calcutta Art Society show, and the Lalit Kala Akademi All India Award. Samant also participated that year in the seminal exhibition Eight Painters: Bendre, Gaitonde, Gujral, Husain, Khanna, Kulkarni, Kumar, Samant, curated by Thomas Keehn, and in the Venice Biennale. He spent 1957–58 in Rome on a scholarship awarded by the Italian government. In February 1959 a Rockefeller fellowship took him to New York City, where he would remain until 1964.
Exhibitions during Samant's first New York period included what is considered the first showing of the Progressive Artists Group in America, Trends in Contemporary Painting from India: Gaitonde,Husain, Khanna, Kumar, Padamsee, Raza, Samant, Souza, curated by Thomas Keehn and held at the Graham Gallery, New York, as well as A Collection of Contemporary Art (organized by the Art in Embassies Committee), the Museum of Modern Art, New York (1961), Recent Acquisitions, Museum of Modern Art, New York (1963), and Dunn International: 102 Best Painters of the World, Beaverbrook Art Gallery, Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada and the Tate Gallery, London (1963).
The organizers of the legendary Dunn exhibition in 1963—whose international selection committee included Alfred Barr of the Museum of Modern Art, New York and Sir Anthony Blunt, Surveyor of the Queen's Pictures—chose works by Edward Hopper, Robert Rauschenberg and Willem de Kooning, among others. Samant was one of only two newcomers included in the exhibition, and was singled out for special recognition in the Time article on the show. He was profiled again in the magazine a year later.
Samant spent 1965–68 in Mumbai. During that time his work was still shown in New York, where he was represented by World House Galleries. (The association with World House continued privately after the gallery closed in the late 1960s.) In 1968, Samant, like S.H. Raza and F.N. Souza before him, left India permanently. Samant went back to New York, where he continued to work and to exhibit internationally.
In 2000, Samant received the Asian American Heritage Award for lifetime achievement in the arts. In January 2004, not long after a retrospective in India, he died in New York.
Samant participated in the seminal international exhibitions of twentieth-century Indian modernism. Ranjit Hoskote, internationally renowned Indian poet and art critic, wrote in 2008 that Mohan Samant was "the missing link in the evolutionary narrative of contemporary art in India."

As observed by Jeffrey Wechsler in his essay on Mohan Samant and his place in twentieth-century modernism:
Samant's practice was the antithesis of a signature style. Throughout his career, he delved into divergent materials and techniques and constantly shifted imagery. While some of his processes and forms can be perceived on a regular basis over long periods of time, there was no hewing to a given image, endlessly repeated. He stated that "I find that stagnation in style and the search for the same forms cause an artist to suffer an immense amount of laboriousness in his work.
Samant's art is, instead, determinedly far-reaching and inquisitive, and encompasses admitted influences that cover the whole history of human visual creativity, Eastern and Western. Samant stated straightforwardly that his sources derived from five thousand years of art from varied civilizations. These included the cave paintings of Lascaux, Egyptian wall paintings and hieroglyphs, Indian miniatures and murals, Precolumbian ceramics, African sculpture, and the modernism of Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, and Paul Klee.

I tried a little unconventional approach to this year's garlic garden. I built the beds in a series of circles around nitrogen-fixing shrubs and a meandering form that looks a lot like my life – er, I mean, a whirligig. Whatever. I was lost.

More Frontier Crew Cab: 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014
2009 NISSAN FRONTIER CREW CAB
2009 Nissan Frontier Receives Freshened Exterior, New PRO-4X Model and New Value Truck Packages
The Nissan Frontier, a no-compromise pickup forged with premium hardware, extraordinary power and off-road athleticism, continues to be a leader in the mid-size truck segment. Improving its already impressive packaging, the 2009 Frontier gets updated with a new front fascia grille and headlight design and new 16-inch and 18-inch wheels. Additionally, a PRO-4X off-road model is added, along with new Frontier Crew Cab LE/PRO-4X Value Truck Packages (VTP) that offer an array of popular optional equipment at a greater value than if purchased separately.
The 2009 Nissan Frontier continues to offer an unmatched level of on- and off- road performance with the use of a 4.0-liter DOHC V6 engine with best-in-segment horsepower, torque, towing and payload specifications. With its strong performance, combined with good fuel mileage (17 city, 21 highway, King Cab 2WD), the Frontier is a fitting truck for work or play.
"The Frontier offers the capability and styling of a full-size truck, off-road performance credentials, innovative versatility and interior comfort. It's designed and built for those who are active, love the outdoors and want to maximize their life experiences," said Al Castignetti, vice president and general manager, Nissan Division, Nissan North America, Inc. "And, the new Crew Cab LE and PRO-4X Value Truck Packages for 2009 make an already a strong value an even easier way to enjoy a new Frontier."
The 2009 Frontier is offered in both King Cab and Crew Cab body styles and in 4x2 and 4x4 driveline configurations. The Frontier, like the previous generations, is assembled at Nissan's manufacturing facility in Smyrna, Tennessee.
Bold Truck Styling and Innovative Versatility
The mid-size Nissan Frontier emulates many of Nissan Titan's full-size features, including its bold, expressive and adventurous exterior styling. Frontier utilizes signature Nissan truck themes, including an angled strut grille, large bumpers, short front and rear overhangs and large, stamped steel, geometric fender flares. For 2009, Frontier features a restyled front fascia/grille design and new headlight design. LE models offer new 18-inch aluminum-alloy wheels, SE models feature new 16-inch aluminum-alloy wheels and PRO-4X models receive new machine-finished 16-inch aluminum-alloy wheels. Two new exterior colors are available for 2009 - Red Brick and Navy Blue.
Frontier again offers Crew Cab SE and LE Long Bed models. Measuring more than 13 inches longer than the Crew Cab's standard bed, the Long Bed models offer the roomy interior of the Crew Cab plus the usable bed space of the King Cab.
Frontier offers levels of innovation in areas where it matters most to truck owners - the bed. Both Frontier King Cab and Crew Cab models offer an available high-utility bed that includes a factory-applied spray-on bedliner and the Utili-track tie-down system. The Utili-track system, first introduced on Titan, provides ultimate cargo hauling flexibility through the use of five special "C" cross-section rails mounted in the bed (two channels in the bed floor, and one each on the bed side rails and the bed header panel). Removable utility cleats slide into the channels, providing a wide range of attaching points for securing cargo.
In addition to the tie-down cleats, a full range of accessories is offered for use with the channel system, including bed dividers, sliding cargo trays and modular storage units.
New Frontier PRO-4X Off-Road Model
Frontier's all-new PRO-4X trim offers drivers outstanding off-road flexibility, pairing Frontier's already impressive list of standard equipment features with the PRO-4X's off-road performance enhancements.
The PRO-4X features Bilstein off-road high-pressure shock absorbers, additional skid plates on the oil pan and transfer case, an electronic rear differential locker, 2- or 4-wheel limited-slip (ABLS) and unique machine-finished 16-inch aluminum-alloy off-road wheels with large BFGoodrich P265/75R16 Rugged Trail tires.
Inside, the PRO-4X receives styling cues that differentiate it from the rest of the Frontier lineup including leather-appointed red-stitched shifter knob (M/T only) and steering wheel, chrome accent ring around the white-faced meter gauges and trip computer. The PRO-4X Value Truck Package (Crew Cab) adds unique black leather-appointed front seats with red stitching, along with 8-way power driver's seat, 4-way power passenger's seat, heated front seats, dual heated outside mirrors and rear fold-down center armrest.
PRO-4X King Cab models receive a factory-applied spray-on bedliner, bed rail caps, Utili-track channel system and four adjustable tie-down cleats (standard on Crew Cab). All PRO-4Xs feature body-colored grille and bumpers, outside mirrors and door handles and fog lamps. Added comfort and convenience features include cruise control, remote keyless entry power windows and door locks and dual power outside mirrors.
Multi-Flex, High-Use Interior
Just as the high-utility bed offers Frontier owners an exceptional level of flexibility and utility, Frontier's interior features outstanding functionality combined with comfort and intelligent design. Both Frontier King Cab and Crew Cab feature large rear doors (rear hinged on King Cab) for easy access to the rear seating and cargo areas.
The Frontier King Cab features flip-up rear seats and both cab styles offer excellent cab storage and flexibility. Removable storage boxes are tucked beneath the rear seats, while the front passenger seat folds flat for added load carrying capacity (not available on leather-trimmed models). A dual glove box with lock, damper and lamp, center console storage, one-liter bottle storage integrated into the front doors and a multitude of cupholders and power points are standard. Frontier Crew Cab also offers an available leather-appointed interior and available tilt and sliding moonroof.
Power for an Active Lifestyle
The heart and soul of the Frontier is its rugged F-Alpha platform. Starting with a full-size, fully boxed ladder frame, the F-Alpha platform provides a rugged foundation on which to build. Constructed of high tensile-strength steel, which is 90 percent stronger and 22 percent lighter than conventional steel, the platform improves structural rigidity for rock-solid performance on- and off- road.
Frontier's long 125.9-inch wheelbase helps enhance ride comfort and stability, while the overall length of 205.5 inches (King Cab and Crew Cab Regular Bed) is a perfect "activity size" for buyers who don't need a true full-size pickup.
The 2009 Frontier shares its suspension layout and many component designs with the Titan, including its all-steel double-wishbone front suspension and solid axle rear suspension with overslung leaf springs and a long suspension stroke for optimized off-road dynamics.
Frontier provides exceptional acceleration, towing capacity and all-around off-roading ability, due in large measure to its powerful engine - a 4.0-liter DOHC V6 producing 261 horsepower and 281 lb-ft of torque. The 4.0-liter DOHC V6 is based on the award-winning Nissan VQ engine series used in the 350Z, Maxima, Altima, Murano and Quest, but is specifically tuned for the unique demands of truck use. Besides smooth torque delivery, the V6 offers excellent fuel efficiency and smooth operation.
The 4.0-liter V6 design includes a Continuously Variable Valve Timing Control System (CVTCS), Nissan variable Induction Control System (NICS), silent timing chain, microfinished camshaft and crankshaft surfaces, Teflon-coated pistons, resin intake manifold, forged crankshaft, digital knock control system, high capacity muffler, lightweight aluminum block and cylinder heads and 105,000-mile spark plugs.
The Frontier V6 is assembled at Nissan's advanced engine production facility in Decherd, Tenn., which also produces Titan's 5.6-liter V8.
An advanced 2.5-liter DOHC inline 4-cylinder engine, with 152 horsepower and 171 lb-ft torque, is also available on the base Frontier King Cab 4x2 model.
For 2009, Frontier is again offered with a choice of transmissions - a smooth 5-speed automatic, a 6-speed manual or 5-speed manual transmission (King Cab 4-cylinder models). Frontier 4x4 models include a shift-on-the-fly 4-wheel drive system with 2WD/4H/4LO modes operated by an electronically controlled part-time transfer case. An advanced off-road traction system is available with 4x4 models. It includes a 4-wheel limited slip system, which helps transfer power to the drive wheels with more grip on low traction surfaces.
The available Hill Descent Control feature allows slow hill descent without the constant application of the brake pedal. Hill Descent Control must be engaged by the driver (via a switch) and is available only when the transfer case is engaged in 4H or 4LO (it works in both forward and reverse). It can be activated at speeds up to 21 mph in 4H and 15 mph in 4LO.
Hill Start Assist allows the driver to stop on an incline, release the brake pedal and not roll back for up to two seconds while the driver moves their foot to the accelerator for a smooth, controlled start. HSA is available on 4x4 models in 2WD, 4H and 4LO. HSA is designed for rugged, low-speed off-road driving situations.
All key underbody hardware is tucked up to the frame rails for a minimum 8.9 inches (4x4) or 8.6 inches (4x2) of running ground clearance on XE, SE, PRO-4X and LE models. Every 2009 Frontier also offers good approach and departure angles for exceptional off-road capability.
Other Frontier driveline components include engine-speed-sensitive power-assisted rack-and-pinion steering and standard 4-wheel disc brakes with Anti-lock Braking System (ABS). Frontier is offered with a range of available wheels and tires, including 16-inch off road style wheels with rugged P265/75R16 white-letter tires and 18-inch wheels with P265/60R18 tires.
Frontier's maximum towing capacity is rated at up to 6,500 pounds (maximum, when properly equipped).
Advanced Safety Systems, A Variety of Models and Packages
The 2009 Frontier includes a long list of safety equipment, including Zone Body construction with front and rear crumple zones, Nissan Advanced Air Bag System (which includes dual-stage front supplemental air bags with seat belt sensors and a front occupant classification sensor), 3-point front seat belts with pretensioners and load limiters and a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS).
Also offered are supplemental front seat side-impact air bags and available supplemental curtain air bags for side impact and rollover protection for front and rear outboard passengers, 3-point seat belts for all rear seat occupants, including center position (Crew Cab) and the LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren) child seat anchor system (Crew Cab).
The 2009 Nissan Frontier King Cab is available in five well-equipped models: Frontier XE (4x2, 2.5-liter inline 4-cylinder, 5-speed manual transmission only); Frontier SE I4 (4x2, 2.5-liter inline 4-cylinder, 5-speed manual or 5-speed automatic transmission); Frontier SE V6 (4x2 or 4x4, 4.0-liter V6, 6-speed manual or 5-speed automatic transmission); Frontier LE (4x2 or 4x4, 4.0-liter V6, 5-speed automatic transmission); and PRO-4X (4.0-liter V6, 4x2 and 4x4, 6-speed manual or 5-speed automatic transmission).
The 2009 Nissan Frontier Crew Cab is offered in SE, LE and PRO-4X models, in regular or Long Bed body styles, each offered with a standard 4.0-liter V6 and a choice of 4x4 or 4x2 drivelines. Frontier Crew Cab SE models are offered with either 6-speed manual or 5-speed automatic transmissions, while Crew Cab LE and PRO-4X models are available with the 5-speed automatic transmission only.
Available options and packages include the XE Preferred Package, SE Power Package, Value Truck Package (SE, LE and PRO-4X only), Moonroof Package (Crew Cab only), Side & Curtain Air Bag Package, Active Brake Limited Slip (ABLS), Technology Package and Traction Package (4x4 AT only).

The word desserts is just stressed spelled backwards, and that too perhaps is more than just a coincidence. Theres nothing like a sweetment to make all worries shrivel away. Whether it be a classical bowl of Kheer, firni or the opulence of modern day desserts such as lavish chocolate or custard cream pies, theres something essentially quintessential about satisfying ones sweet tooth that has the added effect of serving as a natural stress reliever. This may make for R&D that millions may be invested into for research into devising the perfect stress reliever or the perfect desset for the benefit of all of humankind.
Man's fascination with desserts go back a long way, ever since the earliest human's discovered the luxury of tropical fruits such as coconuts and cane sugar that the human race has been hooked on everything sweet and nice. The Mughals were no exception in their culinary endeavors introduced to India the concept of ending a meal with a dessert instead of having it at the beginning or middle of a meal.
The dessert in its basic form consisted of fresh fruits such as mangos, grapes, peaches and melons. Some emperor's had more sophisticated preferences than others though. Emperor Babur was known to have a disdain of mango, whereas Emperor Jehangir was particularly fond of it.
The Ain I Akbari documents the prevalence and introduction of Kulfi one of the earliest predecessor to the modern day ice cream in the 16th century. Prepared in the royal kitchens of the Mughals with ice bought down from the Himalayas, it shows the level of innovation by the culinary masters of the Mughal empire. The Kulfi also paved way to another popular dessert enjoyed even today – the Falooda. A mixture of vermicelli, cream, fruits and kulfi the falooda was particularly a favorite of Emperor Jehangir. The Kulfi in all its glory became popular amongst the masses.
With ice bought from the himalayas, the chef's of the royal kitchen also made good with the ice in preparing frozen sherbets with fresh fruits and ice shavings reminiscent of ice based drinks and desserts of today.
With summer rearing its torrid head around the corner, theres never been a better time to enjoy fine ice desserts as the Mughals did centuries ago. Keeping in line with the tradition of the Mughals, Sigdi offers a wide range of tantalizing frozen mocktails and ice cream variations. This time on your visit to Sigdi's ask for the mocktail menu – Mir Baqawal guarantees you won't be disappointed.

Q: Getting EADDRINUSE error in node.js when specifying hostname I am getting an EADDRINUSE error on nodejs when trying to run this code:
const express = require('express')
const http = require('http')
const hostname = 'localhost'
const port = 3000

const app = express()

app.use((req, res, next) => {
    console.log(req.headers)
    res.statusCode = 200
    res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/html')
    res.end('
This is response
')
})

server.listen(hostname,port, () => {
    console.log(`Server running at http:${hostname}//:${port}`)
})

const server = http.createServer(app)

server.listen(hostname,port, () => {
    console.log(`Server running at http:{}//:${port}`)
})

I tried changing the ports but it still gave the same error.
The peculiar this is that if I remove the hostname - "localhost" and only listen to the port the code works.
Please explain what could be the issue?
Here is the stack trace :

Bird hits 10 million scooter rides
Megan Rose Dickey	@meganrosedickey / 10 months
Bird just announced 10 million scooter rides since launching about one year ago. If this story sounds familiar to you, it's probably because Bird competitor Lime earlier today announced it surpassed 11.5 million rides across its shared bikes and scooters.
Bird, which launched last September in Santa Monica, Calif., currently operates in 100 cities and has over two million unique riders, Bird founder and CEO Travis VanderZanden told TechCrunch. But Bird's first year of operations has been full of ups and downs.
Many of the downs have been around regulatory issues. Bird faced, and overcame them, in Santa Monica but failed in San Francisco.
"I think anytime you're doing something new that the cities haven't contemplated before, there always seems to be gray area on where you fit in in the regulatory environment," VanderZanden said. "Cities hadn't thought about electric scooters and electric scooter sharing. We collaborated very closely with the cities we're in now."
Although San Francisco did not grant an operating permit to Bird — the city gave them to Scoot and Skip — VanderZanden stressed that "San Francisco is one city. We're in 100 cities."
He also said Bird is not looking to appeal the decision in San Francisco. Lime, however, is in engaging in the appeals process.
As Bird enters its second year of operations, the name of the game is to double down on its efforts with cities and building out its government tech platform. Bird is also looking into manufacturing its own scooters to provide more durability to its customers and differentiate itself from other scooters on the market.
"We've been investing heavily in that area," VanderZanden said. "You'll start to see new vehicles coming from us soon."
He added, "we want to keep building vehicles that are more ruggedized but also vehicles that have new features for the riders as well."
And Bird definitely has the funds to do that. To date, Bird has raised $415 million in funding for shared electric scooters.

Demand for a 'Game of Thrones' Season 9, It will come to be another series?
Kaif ul Sehar
The interest for Game of Thrones Season 9 has taken off a lot after the chaos of a show in Season 8. Game of Thrones Season 8 will go down as the most exceedingly awful Season of any TV appear in the history. Fans are completely frustrated with Season 8 and need a change or Season 9 for the show. Game of Thrones fans have documented a request to modify Season 8, and it has got in excess of a million marks.
1 Such a great amount to Explore
2 Taking care of potential issues
3 History of the Night King
4 Network program dependent on the books
5 Better closure
Such a great amount to Explore
Game of Thrones has such a huge world structure which the scholars overlooked an entire Season 8 was centered around Winterfell and King's Landing. Amid the prior Seasons of Game of Thrones, watchers were acquainted with Essos, Braavos, Meeren, Valyria thus many stunning spots. The creators had appeared new in Season 8 and fans feel double-crossed over it. Fans need a Game of Thrones Season 9 investigating a greater amount of those new places.
Taking care of potential issues
While the Game of Thrones TV show finished with Season 8, there are such a significant number of remaining details that still should be wrapped up. What occurs with Daario Naharis in Meeren, for what reason didn't he came to battle close by Dany amid the extraordinary war.
Aside from that, there are such a large number of unsolved plotlines and overlooked characters. There was no notice of Meera or Howland Reed in Game of Thrones Season 8. Arya and her capacity to change faces were never tended to again. Fans need a Game of Thrones Season 9 to complete the story circular segments of all the rest of the characters.
History of the Night King
Round of Thrones has developed the Night King as the fundamental danger for such a large number of seasons. Jon Snow and the Night King even had an epic standoff, and it was developed towards the last showdown. To everybody's failure, Jon had no last battle, and it was Arya Stark that executed Night King in Game of Thrones Season 8.
What made fans angrier is that there was no further notice of the Night King in Season 8. Nobody realized what was his thought process, for what reason would he say he was murdering everybody, how might he ride a mythical serpent? On the off chance that there is a Game of Thrones Season 9, at that point possibly we can investigate a greater amount of the Night King.
Network program dependent on the books
The principle reason Game of Thrones Season 8 was so awful is on the grounds that it had no books of GRRM to back it up. HBO scholars without the books couldn't do much equity to the show and by one way or another destroyed it. Fans need a Game of Thrones Season 9 dependent on up and coming to The Winds of Winter book story. Season 8 additionally could have been exceptional on the off chance that it was made after the arrival of the book.
Better closure
Game of Thrones Season 8 had such an awful consummation, that fans need an entirely different Season 9 to fix it. The consummation was so much hurried, what occurs with Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen was absolutely sudden. There was no self-contradicting finishing, it was only an idiotic closure. Round of Thrones fans needs a superior closure and possibly GOT Season 9 could do that.
It isn't just about the awful Season 8 of Game of Thrones HBO TV appear. Watchers have put their time in the arrangement with the main scene from in 2011. Round of Thrones Season 9 could get the storyline from where it was left and can proceed with further.
Jon Snow went to the opposite side of the divider with all the wildlings, individuals need to see the story after that. An elegantly composed Game of Thrones Season 9 which figures the slip-ups made in Season 8 and convey the story further is highly sought after. According to the reports, before Season 9, we would get the chance to observe the Game of Thrones prequel arrangement.

TBILISI, DFWatch — Two thirds still consider themselves unemployed in Georgia, a new survey shows.
67 percent say they are without a job in the latest survey of public attitudes by the National Democratic Institute (NDI). The number has not significantly dropped since the same question was asked in June (69%) and February (70%) of 2012.
Georgia's state statistics bureau GeoStat claims that only 15 percent are unemployed.
NDI in its survey asked respondents what they consider the most important national issues. Answers ranked in order of significance: unemployment on top, followed by accessible medical services, then territorial integrity, poverty, pension, increased prices, education and salaries.
51 percent of the population thinks Georgia is mainly developing in the right direction.
When it comes to foreign policy, priorities remain unchanged, and people's expectations are the same about Georgia's integration into the European Union and NATO.
These are one half of a two part survey, carried out in November 2012. NDI will December 17 publish the results of the party ratings.
This is the third time NDI publishes both the public attitudes part and political party ratings of a survey. The organization didn't use to publish the political party rating bit, but made it available to parties directly. Then party representatives would provide that information to the media, but only those parts of the results which were beneficial to them, and this caused misunderstandings.
Before the parliamentary election, NDI changed its policy and published the political party ratings as well. Presenting the new findings on Wednesday, Luis Navarro, chair of NDI Georgia, said that the results have not significantly changed from the previous ones. The most problematic issue is still solving social issues, with unemployment on top. According to the survey, 67 percent considers self to be unemployed, 33 percent says they're employed.
Creating new jobs is on top among the most important national issues with 56 percent, followed by accessible medical services – 35 percent, territorial integrity – 29 percent, poverty – 28 percent, pensions – 26 percent, increased prices – 19 percent, education and salaries 15-15 percent.
51 percent of the questioned think the country is developing in the right direction, 18 percent don't know, while 12 percent say that Georgia never changes; and 9 percent think the country is moving in the wrong direction.
42 percent think there is democracy in Georgia. For 55 percent of those questioned, democracy means freedom of speech and media; for 43 percent it means being equal under the law. 33 percent think democracy means defending human rights, while 16 percent say it means the opportunity to do what you want.
75 percent don't know anyone who has been fired due to political views. In the last survey, published in August, 14 percent answered they personally know a person who was fired on political grounds.
The survey also asks questions about religious clashes which recently take place in connection with the new government being confirmed. Part of society believe those conflicts were inspired by the previous government, but factual material cannot confirm that.
Should Georgian Muslims be given the opportunity to conduct religious services on their own properties – 51 percent says yes, 29 percent says no, while 19 percent don't know.
The prime minister recently appointed a special representatives for relations with Russia. Only four percent disapproves of this, while 27 percent don't know. 40 percent think Russia is a threat to Georgia, but that the threat is exaggerated.
26 percent think Russia is a real threat to Georgia, while 22 think it is no threat at all, 11 percent don't know.
77 percent give a thumbs up to the government's declared goal of Georgia becoming member of the EU. 71 percent supports integration into NATO, while 42 percent welcome the decision by the US to boost Georgia's defense capabilities.
51 percent don't know when Georgia will join NATO, 22 percent expect this to happen in the next four years; 17 percent think Georgia will become NATO member after 2016, while 9 percent are skeptical saying that Georgia will never join NATO.
The survey was conducted between 14-25 November, 2012. 1 947 respondents were asked. The margin of error is 3 percent.

Politeness vs Honesty
See also: Communicating in Difficult Situations
In many societies around the world, there is a huge taboo about talking about money. From an early age, we learn, for example, that it is not polite to boast about your salary—and that means never telling anyone what you earn, in case you earn more than them—or ask what something cost, because that implies that someone might not be able to afford it.
Unfortunately, this taboo means that it is also very difficult to have important conversations. This page suggests some ways that you can overcome the taboo and start to have honest conversations with those around you about money, both at work and at home.
Why Talk About Money?
If I had a little money… It's a rich man's world!
Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus, in the song Money, Money, Money
Money makes the world go round, the world go round, the world go round…
Sally Bowles, in the musical Cabaret (lyrics by Fred Ebb)
There is unarguably more to life than money, but it is nonetheless very important for most of us—especially when we do not have enough.
According to Relate, the relationship support service, financial issues are one of the main causes of arguments between couples. Perhaps this is unsurprising when an astonishing 43% of Americans say that they do not know what their spouse earns. After all, if you do not even know your monthly household income, it is hard to budget successfully (and for more about this, see our page on Budgeting).
There is also considerable evidence that fairness is relative.
That is, what we consider 'fair' is all about what we have compared with other people. In other words, the cause of financial problems in relationships is likely to be one partner feeling that the other does not 'pull their weight'. Being able to talk calmly and rationally about money can avoid this type of problem.
For more about these ideas, see our page on fairness.
Beyond couples, wider family relationships can also suffer from not talking about money. Many people report struggling when they have to take on responsibility for elderly parents, or sort out wills, because they simply do not know what their parents wanted. Sibling relationships can also break down over the division of estates when wills seem unfair to one or more party.
However, finding it hard to talk about money affects more than just your personal relationships. For example, if you feel embarrassed discussing money, it can be extremely hard to ask your boss for a pay rise. If you can't ask your co-workers what they earn—and this is a major taboo—you are unlikely to find out if you are paid substantially less or more than them, or be able to take action to address it.
Case study: Crisis at the BBC
In January 2018, the BBC's China editor, Carrie Gracie, resigned from her post citing pay inequality with her male colleagues. The problem?
For the first time ever, in July 2017, the BBC had published information about which of its staff were paid over £150,000. Ms Gracie was not on the list, and neither was her female colleague, Europe editor Katya Adler. However, the BBC's two male international editors, Jeremy Bowen and Jon Sopel, were both on the list.
Carrie Gracie's open letter of resignation stated: "…last July I learned that in the previous financial year, the two men [international editors] earned at least 50% more than the two women.
'Despite the BBC's public insistence that my appointment demonstrated its commitment to gender equality, and despite my own insistence that equality was a condition of taking up the post, my managers had yet again judged that women's work was worth much less than men's."
This was the first time that this kind of data had been exposed to public view, and it caused both widespread public outrage, and discrimination claims from many of the women employed by the corporation.
It is likely that had information been widely available about pay levels, or if people felt able to discuss pay more openly, this would not have happened.
Starting Conversations About Money
How, then, can you start conversations about money? It depends a bit on the circumstances and situation.
Talking Money at Home
In many ways, it is—and should be—easier to talk about money with your partner or family. You are, after all, much closer to them than to your colleagues or boss. As with any other subject, the key is to use the rules of feedback. Be open and honest about the effect of your partner's behaviour, on you.
In other words, don't wait too long to have the conversation, but do pick your moment carefully, so that they are receptive, and give them time to respond. Also remember to listen to what they are saying, and don't just think about what you are going to say next.
For more about this, see our page on Giving Feedback to Your Partner.
When you are living with a partner, their financial actions can also affect your credit score. You therefore do have a right to be concerned if you think they are going into debt.
On the flip side, if you are having problems with money, your partner has a right to know because of the possible effect on them. It is also easier to sort problems if you talk about them openly.
Talking about money and solving problems together can help to make your relationship stronger, as well as helping you to resolve your problems.
Talking Money at Work
It is important to remember and recognise that you are not going to break down the taboo about talking about money overnight, or single-handedly—not even in yourself.
However, you should not EVER feel embarrassed about asking your boss for a raise if you feel that you deserve one. It is his or her job to manage their team, and that includes pay issues. They are unlikely to be embarrassed about discussing your pay with you, so why should you feel embarrassed either?
The key is to have evidence for why you feel that you deserve more money. For example, you may have brought in a lot of business to the team or company, or delivered a particularly big project, or taken on extra responsibilities. If possible, show comparisons with others—but if you can't get this data, don't worry.
How can you get comparative data about your colleagues? It may be worth asking them!
You can use phrasing that helps to make your request to talk about money more acceptable. For example:
"I know it's not conventional to ask this, but it would really help me in my discussions with the boss if I knew roughly how much you were paid. Would you mind telling me the broad (say £10k) slot that your salary falls into?"
Making clear why you need the information, and making sure that you are not intrusive about how much detail you need, can make it easier for colleagues to share sensitive information.
For more about how to use the right language at the right time, you may like to look at our page on Communication in Difficult Situations.
Alternatively, if you are in a large organisation, you could try going to your HR or Finance departments and asking them for anonymised data about those at your pay level or in your team. Again, you will need to explain why you need the information—and be prepared for a refusal—but if you don't ask, you definitely won't get.
Case study: A tale of two colleagues
Janey and Michael were two colleagues in a big organisation. They had been promoted within a month of each other, to the same level, to head up the same team, working jointly.
Over the two years after their promotion, Janey changed team twice, still working for the same manager. Each time, she negotiated a pay rise with her boss, on the grounds that she was taking on more responsibility.
Two years after their promotion, the organisation held a pay review, and announced that it was giving a pay rise to all the lowest-paid staff in Janey and Michael's pay bracket. When Janey dropped into Michael's office one day for a chat, he said to her,
"It will be nice to have that pay rise, won't it?"
"What pay rise?" she asked.
"That pay rise for the lowest paid staff. They've sent me an email telling me that I'll get it. Surely you will too? We were promoted at the same time."
"No," Janey said, cheerfully. "No email. I guess I'm not in the lowest-paid staff any more. I've negotiated myself two pay rises since then."
Both found it astonishing how quickly Janey had moved herself through the pay bracket. Michael had known that Janey had negotiated pay rises, because she had mentioned it, but neither had realised just how much more than him she was now earning. Gaps can open up very fast.
A discomfort about talking about money is common around the world, especially in English-speaking countries. However, sometimes it is better to go through a little discomfort, and talk about things, than put them off and store up trouble for later.
Time and effort spent communicating now are likely to build stronger relationships and help you in future.

T-Pru and Scotty Do: NBA All Star Game Snubs
Turner Pruitt and Scott Mountz
The lineups are set and the rosters are locked in as we head into the midway point of the 2016-2017 NBA season and we must say… This year's NBA All Star Game isn't even worth watching. Not only is this the first year in ages that the All Star Game won't include future Hall-of-Famers Kobe Bryant, Tim Duncan, and Kevin Garnett, but future stars were not given the credit they deserved based on their early performances.
Joel Embiid, arguably the best big man in the Eastern Conference, was not selected into this years All Star game. He averaged 19.8 points, 7.8 rebounds, 2.1 assists, and 2.5 blocks per game this season. In the West, Karl-Anthony Towns was also left out of the All Star Game honors. His averages may be even more impressive: 22.4 points, 11.9 rebounds, 3.0 assists, and 1.5 blocks per game. It seems that averaging a double-double at age 21 should be enough to earn you a spot on your conferences All Star roster… but apparently not.
Not only will both conferences' front court be missing some major talent, but the back courts will also be without some major players in the league. First, Chris Paul of the Los Angeles Clippers did not receive enough votes to make the All Star team. Although he did suffer a thumb injury that took him out from January 18 up to now, he put up good numbers prior to the injury. He averaged 17.5 points, 5.3 rebounds, 9.7 assists, and 2.2 steals per game in the time he was playing, which are certainly some quality numbers. One of the most surprising snubs is one of the leagues superior players, Damian Lillard of the Portland Trailblazers. He has certainly performed like an All Star for the majority of his career, making it very odd that he will be absent at this years All Star Game. Lillard averaged a whopping 26.2 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 5.9 assists per game.
Obviously, a number of players were left completely out of the All Star Game events this year, despite very impressive performances in the first half of the year. However, there is also some controversy within the rosters of who will be starting. Arguable the best player in the NBA after the first half of the season, Russel Westbrook of the Oklahoma City Thunder, will not be starting in this year's game. Westbrook is averaging a triple-double this year, which is unheard of. He has 30.8 points, 10.6 rebounds and 10.2 assists per game this season so far. With 61 career triple doubles, 24 of them coming in this season alone, he has the fifth most of all time. And he will surely pile on many more to his resume. This is truly unbelievable, so the fact that he won't be starting in this year's All Star Game is almost just as difficult to comprehend.
Yes, there will be some of today's stars going head to head in New Orleans on February 19th, and we're sure it will be entertaining. However, knowing that some of the league's top performers will not be participating will make it harder to watch. As fans, we generally hope that the all-star honors are given to the true all-star performers, which was not exactly the case this year.

TVS Motor Company launched India's first ethanol-based motorcycle on Friday in line with the government's initiative to opt for green and sustainable future mobility solutions.
Among those present on the occasion were Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Jairam Gadkari and CEO of NITI Aayog Amitabh Kant.
TVS Apache RTR 200 4V ethanol concept was first showcased at Auto Expo 2018 held in the national capital. TVS Apache is the flagship brand of TVS Motor Company with over 3.5 million customers across the globe.
"The two-wheeler industry is looking at green and sustainable future mobility solutions spanning across electric, hybrid and alternate fuels," said company's Chairman Venu Srinivasan.
"This is due to the easy compatibility in transition to ethanol and its sustained positive impact on the environment without compromising on performance and total cost of ownership," he said in a statement.
Ethanol is domestically produced from renewable plant sources. It is non-toxic, biodegradable and safe to handle, store and transport. An oxygenated fuel that contains 35 per cent oxygen, ethanol reduces nitrogen oxide emissions from combustion. It helps reduce carbon monoxide emissions, particulate matter and sulphur-dioxide.
The government believes use of ethanol as a fuel will also reduce dependence on the import of petroleum and increase energy security.
However, many industry leaders remain concerned by the potential repercussions of NITI Aayog's approach of completely banning two-wheelers up to 150cc that are powered by internal combustion engines.
The government's think-tank had asked Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM) and conventional two-and three-wheeler makers to suggest concrete steps towards transition to electric mobility keeping in mind the 2025 deadline.


I don't have any interest in meeting celebrities. I met Rick Flair once. He came to my bar after a night of performing at the XL Center – still had his boots and shorts on. I poured him a glass of wine and listened to him whine just like every other lonely/pathetic business traveler that came into that joint.
Don't get nervous around celebrities, and don't get nervous around the big bosses at work. Trust me, they're more scared of you than you are of them.
And don't take what they say for gospel. Trust me, you're not crazy, they really just making it up as they go along.
And don't dream of being them one day. Trust me, they're dreaming of being someone else.
Leadership is only a real thing if the followers make it real, which means leadership is not really a real thing ever, it's more like a coincidence. People are mostly the same and leaders are not Great High People from the High Lands.
Tolstoy suggested that leaders are like Maggie from the Simpsons. You know the opening sequence, where baby Maggie is steering a fake steering wheel in the passenger seat while mom Marge is doing the actual driving. Maggie feels like she's in control and her actions are steering the car, but it's just a coincidence. Marge is doing the real driving. Marge is the People and Maggie is "leadership" – a drooling whining pooping-in-her-pants invalid drunk off the illusion of control.
This is a lesson for leaders in leadership roles at work. The tree grows from it's roots. Cut out the roots and the tree dies. Don't worry so much about pleasing your bosses. Take care of your people because they're the ones who are really in charge.
