It all started with "Cho Mondarmani Jai. Good Friday te tana 3 din chuti" (Let's go to Mandarmani. We'll get 3 long holidays due to Good Friday) by one of our friend. We all had already been to Mandarmani number of times and we all got bored by visiting the same place again and again. But then we thought about other probable options? Generally Bengali's can't think of anything else other than same old Digha, Mandarmani etc. as Weekend Destination, may be due limitations of not much options from Kolkata, I believe.
After discussing for 3 days over different destinations, I thought of North Bengal. Well, North Bengal is a heaven for Travelers with numbers of destinations and different options. First I thought of Lava and Lolegaon (also spelled as Loleygaon), but then after doing my research I thought of including Rishap (also spelled as Rishyap) and Kolakham. While doing my research I came upon Pedong and Charkhol, both of which are awesome destinations, but due to shortage of time, we thought of limiting this of our trip to Lava, Lolegaon (Loleygaon), Rishap (Rishyap) and Kolakham.
I quickly chalked out an Itenary and shared with my friends. Finally after few revisions, we fixed our stay at Kolakham and Rishop (Rishyap) instead of commonly chosen destination, Lava and Lolegaon (Loleygaon). All these places can be covered as Sightseen as well as you can stay, if you choose to. As not much options are there, instead of enjoying the scenic beauty.
- Day 1 : NMZ to Kolakham. Post Lunch visit Changey Falls. O/N at Kolakham
- Day 2 : Kolakham to Rishap (Rishyap) via Neora Valley and Lava. O/N at Rishap (Rishyap)
- Day 3 : Rishap (Rishyap) to NJP via Lolegaon (Lolegygaon) and Delo (Dealo)
All these happened in the 3rd week of March and all the trains to NJP were full. I quickly booked tickets for our onward journey at about Waiting List of 30, but we were out of luck for our return journey as the Waiting List was of above 150. So we thought of booking Tatkal by some agent, but suddenly on 26th March, I came upon a special train, NJP SRC Special (New Jalpaiguri to Santragachi), announced by Indian Railways as Summer Specials which will run only on Sunday's. Without wasting a single second, I typed IRCTC in my browser and booked the tickets.
Now that all the arrangements were done, we just waited for the D Day to arrive. Believe me, this moment of waiting for your hard planned trip is like spending every day as a week. But as the trip was of only 3 days, we knew once it comes up, it'll end just in few moments. So we all enjoyed the verge of this moment.
Finally the day came and we started our journey with Kanchankanya Express from Sealdah. Kanchankanya Express is the only train which goes upto New Mal Jn. (NMZ). If you are going to Lava / Lolegaon (Loleygaon) / Kolakham / Rishap (Rishyap) / Pedong / Charkhol etc., it's always wise to go upto New Mal Jn. (NMZ) and take a cab upto Lava, which will cost you around 2200/-. From there, book a cab to your destination from Lava Car Syndicate. You can start your journey from NJP, but the cost will be much higher and also, you'll have a hard time finding cab for Lava. Shared cabs for Lava is available from Siliguri, but nothing is guaranteed. Also, while going to NMZ you can enjoy the scenic beauty and thrilling experience of moving through caves. 🙂
Day 1 : NMZ to Kolakham. Post Lunch visit Changey Falls. O/N at Kolakham
When we reached New Mal Jn. (NMZ) our Driver Ramen Da was waiting for us. Soon we started moving towards our first destination Kolakham. En-route to Kolakham, we took a break at Malbazar, for taking Cash out of ATM and getting our Drinks. 😛 Kolakham, Rishap (Rishyap), Lava, Lolegaon (Loleygaon), Pedong, Charkhol etc. these are very less known destinations as well as small villages with very few options. So up there you'll hardly find any ATM. At Lava there's an ATM, which will be out of Cash 90% of the times. Also the cost of the Drinks will be high, as you move upwards with very limited options. So it's always best carry cash and choice of your drinks from plains. Don't even think of using your plastic money there, else you'll end up ruining your trip and going back down to get cash.
It took us around 3.5 Hours to reach our Hotel, Silent Valley, in Kolakham with few breaks in between. It really felt like Silent Valley, where practically you have nothing to do rather than enjoying the scenic beauty. Kolakham is a small village in Kolbong Forest within the Neora Valley. While moving through Neora Valley, in between through the Pine trees, we all wondered how God have designed the Nature and soon we realized how we city people have destructed it and now we thrive for it with different Go Green pledges. It was just awesome. Wish I had more words to describe the scenic beauty of the nature here. We were greeted warmly by the staff and they took to our room.
When we entered the room we were just speechless. Wow..!!
I had already called Mr. Subrata (the owner of Silent Valley) beforehand, when we were at Malbazar and informed about our hereabouts. So, the lunch was ready when we were there. Soon we were served Lunch at the Restaurant. This was the best lunch I ever had.
Post lunch, after taking rest for few minutes, we started for Changey Falls. Within 30 minutes we reached the point from where we trekked down to see the falls. The road was steep and while going down we noticed halt rooms around the turns. Though we didn't understand the significance of these while going down. But it was not too late for us to understand why these have been made while returning back.
It was around 5:30 PM and we left for our Hotel. As soon as we reached we were given some snacks and Tea. Rest of the evening we enjoyed doing masti among ourselves. At around 9 PM we were called for Dinner. Though in hilly areas people sleeps early but we City people couldn't adjust with that. So we enjoyed with our Antiquity Blue till 1 AM in the midnight and after that we went to sleep 🙂
Day 2 : Kolakham to Rishap (Rishyap) via Neora Valley and Lava. O/N at Rishap (Rishyap)
It was 6:30 AM in the morning when we woke up and was amazed when we removed the curtains. We all were excited to see Kangchenjunga (actually pronounced and spelled as Kanchendzonga). We just couldn't move from the window for few minutes. Soon we were served Bed Tea and after that we started getting ready for moving along, according to our Itenary. After breakfast we left Silent Valley and Kolakham at around 9 AM.
First we went to Lava to get our permits to enter Neora Valley. Though technically we were staying in Neora Valley only, as Kolakham is in Neora Valley base area. But to go up to Zero Point one needs to get permission from Lava. But we didn't do that previous day while going to Kolakham as we were not aware about the same. So we got permission for Chaufadder Point . While in Lava we ordered our Lunch at Hotel Tibet.
It took us around 2 Hours to reach Chaufadder Point. After waiting for few minutes and few formalities, the Guide took us further for the trek. It was an awesome experience. This was first time we were trekking in Forest. Though we didn't came across any Red Panda, but we did managed to see few birds and butterflies. Finally when we reached the end point we just felt that, we are at the source of Changey Falls. The paths around it is dangerous as you need to walk above the roots of the trees which are slippery. After spending some time and few clicks we returned. The trek was about 1 Hour.
When we reached Chaufadder Point, we ordered Green Tea. It was authentic Green Tea and nothing else was available. We all felt hungry, so without wasting any time we started for Lava. The weather at Lava was just awesome. We could touch the Fogs, as it was flying so low. It felt really cold.
Post lunch we did some shopping in and around. Finally we visited Lava Monastery. We have been to various Monastery before, so we felt nothing special here.
At around 5 PM in the evening we started for Rishap (Rishyap). It took us around 30 Minutes to reach our Hotel, Himalayan Hut in Rishap (Rishyap). While on Lava, we had already informed Mr. Bimal Gurung (owner of Himalayan Hut).
Upon reaching our Hotel, Mr. Tamang helped us getting into our rooms. I just couldn't believe my eyes, it was the whole 180 Deg Kangchenjunga (Kanchendzonga) view. We asked Mr. Tamang to arrange Bonfire and Barbeque. We had already informed about the same to Mr. Bimal Gurung when we were at Lava, as everything needs to be arranged beforehand, as there's nothing much at Rishap (Rishyap). We ordered 2KG Chicken for us which they had already got from Lava when we called Mr. Gurung.
Mr. Tamang informed us that weather at Rishap (Rishyap) is very unpredictable, so it could rain anytime. It was chilly and was around 2 – 3 Deg Centigrade. So we didn't wasted any more time and rest of the evening we spent enjoying Antiquity Blue, warming ourselves in the heat of Bonfire. After few minutes Mr. Tamang started roasting Chicken and soon we were served the same. It was just fabulous. We had tried Barbeque before, even at home we do it sometimes, but it never tasted like this.
At around 8 PM it started raining, so we hurried ourselves into our room. It was raining heavily and electricity was cut off as trees fell due to the storm. At around 9 PM we were called for Dinner. After having dinner at around 10 PM hotel staff turned off the generator. So practically we had nothing to do, at 3 Deg C while raining, so we followed Early to Bed mantra 🙂
Day 3 : Rishap (Rishyap) to NJP via Lolegaon (Lolegygaon) and Delo (Dealo)
Though we are not an early riser, but due the early sunrise we woke up at around 5:30 AM. It was cloudy morning as it was heavily raining whole night. But as time passed by, at around 7 AM, the sky started getting clear and gradually we were getting the 180 Degree view of Kangchenjunga (Kanchendzonga). We packed our bags as it was the last day of our trip. We got ready and left Himalayan Hut, Rishap (Rishyap) at around 11 AM.
We went to Lolegaon (Loleygaon), but due to the storm, day before, and rain there were few road blocks as the trees fell down on the street.
But finally after all the hassles we reached Lolegaon (Loleygaon) at around 1 PM. But we were out of luck as the Hanging Bridge, Canopy Walk itself got broken due to the storm. Still we helped ourselves to climb up and enjoy the ride..!!
At around 2 PM, after having some Momo at a nearby shop (infact the only shop near Hanging Bridge, Canopy Walk) we left for Delo (Dealo). It took us around 3 Hours to reach Delo (Dealo). We tried bargaining about the Paragliding, but it didn't helped us. So we enjoyed rest of the evening at Delo (Dealo) and left for NJP at around 5:30 PM.
It was around 8:30 when we reached NJP. Our train was at 23:00 Hrs, but it got delayed for another hour.
Finally we were back to Kolkata. The train was late by about 3 Hours, and it reached Santragachi (SRC) at 1 PM instead of 10 AM. It was scorching hot at Kolkata. We helped ourselves to book a Mega Cab to our home. Finally the trip ends with some loving memories. We felt like we were travelling for 4 – 5 days whereas it's just been 2 days. May be because we all were together after a long gap.
Miss you all guys 🙂
Costs Involved:
Silent Valley, Kolakham – 4 Bedroom @ 2200/- and 3 Bedroom @ 1700/- = 3900/-
Himalayan Hut, Rishap (Rishyap) – 4 Bedroom @ 1500/- and 3 Bedroom @ 1300/- = 2800/-
Total Accommodation = 6700/-
We were 7 persons and so we booked exclusive vehicle for our entire trip @ 3500/- per day = 10,500/-
Fooding were 425/- per day per person. (This includes Breakfast, Lunch, Snacks and Dinner) [Note : It's the meal plan of hotel]
Bonfire = 350/-
Barbeque = Chicken 350/- per KG.
Train Cost – Onward Journey via Kanchankanya Express @ 385/- and Return Journey via NJP SRC Special @ 350/- = 735/- per head
Cost Effective Suggestions:
- If you are not interested in exclusive vehicle, then you can go ahead with point to point booking
- From NMZ cabs to Lava will take around 2200/- upto Lava. From there you need to book another cab upto Kolakham
- The price for different areas are set by the Syndicate so you will pay the fixed price
- If you are planning for Lava better go to NMZ instead of NJP, as the prices of cabs upto Lava is much higher from NJP
- There are buses and shared cabs available from Siliguri, but there's no guarantee, so it's always best to start your journey from NMZ. Also enroute to NMZ you can experience great scenics and few thrilling experience of passing though caves.
- If you are planning to stay at Lava, better go for WBFDC cottages.
Regarding us, upon contacting Lava Car Syndicate about the point to point prices we figured that, it'd cost us 10,900/- so we thought of keeping exclusive vehicle for our entire trip.
Tips For The Visitors:
- Lava, Lolegaon (Loleygaon), Kolakham, Rishap (Rishyap), Pedong, Charkhol are interconnected with each other by around 30 minutes to 2 Hours, with Lava being the largest and well known Town around. Except Lava and Lolegaon (Loleygaon) everything else is lesser known destination. All these destinations can be covered as sightseen, by staying at single destination, as you have nothing much to do on most of these places except enjoying the scenic beauty. I'd suggest staying at Rishap (Rishyap) / Kolakham / Charkhol if you want to enjoy the scenic beauty and love to be isolated from crowd in Lava. Also if you are there for more than one days, try to stay in different destination. This way you won't get bored (as I already said, you practically have nothing to do) and you can experience different ambiance.
- As for Sightseens, you can go to Lava Monastry at Lava and can do some shopping in Lava. There's Hanging Bridbe, Canopy Walk at Lolegaon (Loleygaon) and Changey Falls at Kolakham. So expect these three places, nothing is there for sightseen. So if you are not a nature lover, you'll be bored easily.
- Always carry cash, for the whole trip. There's no ATM at these forest areas. You'll encounter one ATM at Lava but chances are that will be out of service or out of cash most of the times. And don't even think of using your Plastic Money there.
- If you are planning for Paragliding, you can easily do one in Delo (Dealo) or Kalimpong. It costs around 3000/- for 15 – 20 Mins and 4000 for 30 Mins.
- The same goes for River Rafting (known as White Water Rafting) as well. But the point is different. It's on the junction where you take the route to Gangtok. It costs around 5000/- per boat for 30 mins.
- If it's raining, avoid stepping into the grasses, as there are possibility of Jok, so if possible please carry some salt to be safe.
- Lava is the entry point of Neora Valley National Park. Where you need to arrange the permits.
- Except Lava and Lolegaon (Loleygaon), other destinations are very small villages with around hardly 10 families. So be generous when you visit any hotels (Cottages) over there. Also keep in mind, that anything you want, please arrange it or tell them beforehand, as everything needs to be arranged from Lava. So please don't be cruel.
- Carry your drinks from Malbazar / NJP / Siliguri, from where you are starting your journey. Because as you go above the charges will increase and options will be limited.
- Don't spend your entire time in the journey. Enjoy the scenic beauty of nature which we city people have destroyed. Also, don't make much noise as this disturbs the environment of forest and these places.
- It's recommended to book exclusive vehicle throughout the trip.
This trip would not have been such a memorable one without

A bike tour along Barcelona waterfront spotted right in front of Hotel Arts at the end of the wharf nearby, the same day I took this other picture of a man and his bicycle. It was also a foggy morning, pretty much like the ones we are having lately. Yet these people seem to be having fun enjoying the view so imagine how great the experience must be in the spring on one of those bright sunny days watching sailboats coming into the marina or taking a swim after the long ride. Possibilities there are many in the city to go on private, tailor-made bike tours sightseeing landmarks or just the narrow streets of the old part of town and stopping for a refreshing beer and some tapas but finding the best route and the best company I leave up to you since that is not the purpose of this post.
Barcelona images: Daily photographs of Barcelona, Spain. Pictures of a modern city, combined with personal style. A photography and travel site. Art, architecture, people and traditions. Travel to Barcelona through my camera, know more about our city and towns nearby. Welcome!

How to Have a Successful Opening Night/
So, you've built your restaurant, you've hired your staff, you're ready to open. You want to make sure you have a very successful opening night for your restaurant. There's a lot of preparation that needs to go into that night. A lot of training of the staff, and a lot of testing of the menu, and it's very important to give yourself the opportunity to try to operate without the public being in your restaurant.
One of the ways that you can to do that even before constructions final, if you have enough staff to do it, invite some friend in, give them a dining experience, ask them for their honest feedback. What went well? What didn't work? It's a great opportunity to prepare for opening night by having a dress rehearsal with people who you've invited and who you care about. Give them a free meal and ask them for their honest feedback in return.
Once you have all that information, you need to promote your opening night. You need to get the word out. You need to let the world know that you are opening your restaurant. You might want to do that with a press release. You might want to do that by having flyers that you hand out. You might want to put out some sort of notice on the Internet on your website. You may want to actually send specific invitations to people that you know and say, we're opening and we'd be delighted to have you to come in and experience our new restaurant.
Challenges with an opening night are that you don't want too little business but you also don't want too much. Too little business well feel like a downer, too much business will create bad experiences that will set a bad first impression and will not create good word of mouth from the beginning. Now most dinners know that on opening night a restaurant, just like a new theater production can be a little weak in the knees, but if they have to wait an hour and a half for their food they might not come back and they're going to tell everybody they know the story. So you want to prepare. Think about the perfect number of people to have your first day is and shoot for that number.
Maybe you want to limit your hours at first. Maybe you just want to open just for lunch or just for dinner to start. Maybe you want to offer a somewhat smaller menu than you will actually ultimately offer your guests. It's important to remember that you have to walk before you can run in the restaurant business, and it's better to serve a few people and give them a great time, than to serve a large number of people and have a mediocre time.
Preparing for a great opening night also involves your attitude because things will go wrong. This is a restaurant that's never been opened to the public before and all of a sudden all these many different moving parts have to operate in sync. So, you need to be prepared to smile and believe and enable your staff to believe that you're having a good time, that it's going well no matter what happens. Obviously if something serious you need to take care it, but on your face and in your demeanor what you should project is, this is a great night and we're having a great time, and this is going to be a great restaurant.

The Trust has been named as one of the first participants in a new programme to improve palliative care across the UK. Ten acute hospital trusts have been selected to take part in the Building on the best programme, which will support improvements in quality and experience of palliative and end-of-life care across the country. The services involved are based at the Lister hospital, as well as the Mount Vernon Cancer Centre.
Almost half of people who die in England and Wales currently do so in hospital1, yet there are considerable variations in the quality of end-of-life care in NHS hospitals. This new national programme will see support, knowledge and leadership provided to hospital settings in order that people experience good quality and safe care, as well as being able to make the choices that meet theirs – and their family's – wishes, wherever they are.

5 Main Advantages Of Using Cheap Research Papers
Students are often low on budget because they have lower affordability and income. Most of the times, a student will not have any source of income rather than the pocket money he receives from his parents. A few students start their freelancing careers as writers but it is tough to manage a career with a tough academic routine. They have too much on their plate to handle than to work on a job for someone else. In such a situation, most of the students would prefer to have easy and cheap sources for their academic papers. They tend to avoid writing these assignments because they never find enough time to dedicate to all the subjects and complete all pending assignments before the given deadlines.
The question however is that if it is safe to use cheap resources for research papers and other academic assignments
Well the answer is clearly yes, if you stay a little careful at the time of ordering your paper and paying the amount. The risk of spam or a low quality paper stays there even if the source is expensive. You only have to make sure that you communicate with the writer, understand his approach towards the subject, and look at his portfolio samples to know if he is a professional and complete your task as committed. You can find an affordable and super easy person to work with for your assignment if you just look hard enough. When you have the right person working on your paper, you will be the happiest person on this planet. The benefits of using cheap research papers only begin here. You can follow the list below to find out the major advantages of using a cheap source for your paper
The benefits of using affordable writing service for your paper
- You save your time because when someone else is writing your paper, you do not have to waste your time any more. You can utilize this time in other productive activities
- You save your money because the service provider is cheap
- You get a quality assignment viable for a good grade and impress your teacher with your skills
- You can contact this person in the future for the rest of the assignments if you need them
- They offer money back guarantee if you are not satisfied

Good morning, readers. Welcome to the Maven's Morning Coffee -- a listing of the important headlines, news conferences, votes and announcements you need to know to fuel up and tackle your day.
The Maven's Morning Coffee is also available as a daily email. Click here to subscribe.
Today is Thursday, May 29, and here is what's happening in Southern California politics:
The Army Corps of Engineers will recommend a $1 billion proposal to revitalize 11 miles along the Los Angeles River, thus giving Mayor Eric Garcetti one of his first major political wins, reports the Los Angeles Times. Rehabbing the river from downtown to Elysian Park is seen as the first step toward rehabilitating the entire 51-mile stretch of the river.
The LA Weekly looks at the Republican candidates running for governor: Neel Kashkari and Tim Donnelly. "The campaign reflects the debate that is playing out in Republican primaries across the country. Should voters go with the establishment choice in hopes of attracting women and minorities back to the party? Or should they embrace the fervor of the activist base," per the Weekly.
KPCC examines the more diverse parts of the 33rd Congressional District, where candidates are raising lots of money and tapping into their celebrity networks to replace Rep. Henry Waxman.
Supervisorial candidates running for the Third District focused on their experiences, rather than issues, in their final debate last night. "Bobby Shriver, Sheila Kuehl and John Duran – all Democrats – argued their resume makes them best qualified to sit on the five-member board during a debate," according to KPCC, which noted the candidates agreed on affordable housing, helping homeless veterans and reaching out to former jail inmates.
L.A. City Councilman Paul Krekorian will host a donation drive to benefit the San Fernando Valley Rescue Mission on the South Lawn of City Hall from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Tweet of the Day goes to KPCC's Frank Stoltze.
Mayor Eric Garcetti will announce federal funding for the Los Angeles River at noon at Marsh Street Nature Park.
Upcoming Votes
- Los Angeles City Council: Discussion on filming in Los Angeles (10 a.m.)

For purposes of this subsection, "livestock" includes large game as defined in section 1341, subsection 5 kept at a licensed commercial large game shooting area as defined in section 1341, subsection 1.
[ 2011, c. 76, §2 (AMD) .]
5-A. Livestock maintained under a rotational grazing system. Notwithstanding subsection 5, a person is not required to provide shelter for livestock while the animals are maintained under a rotational grazing system as long as the animals do not have injuries or infirmities that prevent them from accessing food and water and are in good body condition. For the purposes of this subsection, "rotational grazing system" means the practice of dividing up available pasture into multiple smaller areas during grazing season when pasture is available to meet the dietary requirements of the animals and subsequently moving the animals from one area to another after a number of days or weeks as determined by forage production and quality.
[ 2011, c. 76, §3 (NEW) .]
6. Dogs confined by tethering for long time periods. In addition to the requirements of subsection 2, paragraph B, subparagraph (2), when tethering is the primary means of confinement for a dog, the standards for shelter and tethering are as follows:
A. A shelter must be provided that is fully enclosed except for a portal. The portal must be of a sufficient size to allow the dog unimpeded passage into and out of the structure. For dogs other than arctic breeds, the portal must be constructed with a baffle or other means of keeping wind and precipitation out of the interior. The shelter must be constructed of materials with a thermal resistance factor of 0.9 or greater and must contain clean bedding material sufficient to retain the dog's normal body heat; and [2007, c. 439, §28 (AMD).]
B. The chain or tether must be attached to both the dog and the anchor using swivels or similar devices that prevent the chain or tether from becoming entangled or twisted. The chain or tether must be attached to a well-fitted collar or harness on the dog. For dogs other than dogs kept as sled dogs or dogs used in competition, the chain or tether must be at least 5 times the length of the dog measured from the tip of its nose to the base of its tail. For dogs kept as sled dogs or dogs used in competition, the chain or tether must be:
(1) At least 2.5 times the length of the dog measured from the tip of its nose to the base of its tail if the anchor is stationary; or
(2) At least 1.5 times the length of the dog measured from the tip of its nose to the base of its tail if the anchor is a pivot point allowing a 360° area of movement. [2009, c. 343, §23 (AMD).]
For the purposes of this subsection, "primary means of confinement" means the method used to confine a dog for periods of time that exceed 12 hours in a 24-hour period. For the purposes of this subsection, "arctic breeds" means Siberian Huskies, Alaskan Huskies, Alaskan Malamutes and other dogs with a double-layered coat and bred to live in an arctic climate and "dogs kept as sled dogs or dogs used in competition" means dogs regularly and consistently used in training or participation in competitive or recreational sled dog activities or other competition canine events.
[ 2009, c. 343, §23 (AMD) .]
1987, c. 383, §3 (NEW). 1997, c. 456, §§7-9 (AMD). 1999, c. 765, §10 (AMD). 2005, c. 340, §§1,2 (AMD). 2007, c. 439, §§27, 28 (AMD). 2007, c. 702, §16 (AMD). 2009, c. 343, §23 (AMD). 2011, c. 76, §§1-3 (AMD).

I don't know if I can express how awesome this is, but I'll try.
- I didn't tell Bunny what I wanted. I just said "I want Pellatarrum to have a logo for when we eventually publish it." He managed to reach into my brain and pull out everything I wanted in a single try.
- He doesn't have previous experience with graphic design.
- It looks amazing in black and white, but will also look amazing in color.
- It is instantly iconic.
- It is detailed without being busy.
- If you don't know the setting, it's a cool logo.
- If you do know the setting, you understand how dense in information the design is.
- It's actually an abstract view of the plane itself, with the Dayspire up top and the crumbling Nightspire below.
- The triangles are the alchemical symbols for the elements, and clockwise from upper left they are Air, Fire, Water, Earth -- the sequence of the elemental seasons.
Another cool thing I discovered while I was looking up the aforementioned symbols was this chart of elemental correspondences from the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn:
It's cool because I don't ever recall seeing this chart before, and I know I haven't read any of the Golden Dawn. I love how we both came to the conclusion that Earth is winter, when everyone else tried to tell me that it should be Water. Coincidence, or great minds thinking alike?
I also love how this gives me authority against all the gamers who would object that I am somehow getting elementalism wrong. I can point to this and say, "Old School Occultism, bitches!"

I've been very good about sticking to my New Year's Resolution of not taking quite so many pictures. I've been trying to only get the camera out about once or twice a week. So, today was a picture day and I got a couple of pics of Ella playing around in the living room. She's so funny now because she knows when she's doing something that she's not supposed to. For instance, she's not supposed to pull on the blinds so she crawls over there, pulls up on them, and then promptly looks back at me and smiles like "look at me Mom, I'm doing something naughty!"
She's also become quite the Cheerio addict and Abby and Charlie have developed a habit of hanging around her high chair in the hopes that she'll drop a few morsels, which she typically does.
However, the big news of the week is that Ella is standing with no hands! And, she took her very first step today! When Keith came home from work today, Ella was standing by herself in the living room. When she saw him she stepped towards him to get him to pick her up. She even regained her balance a little bit after she stepped! She's definitely not walking, but she for sure tried today and I'm sure will be making good progress in the next few weeks. :-) Pop-pop is so proud...he's been working on her walk since about 2 weeks...haha.
P.S.- The colors of the pictures look a little bit different because I've really gotten into digital scrapbooking and have been trying different looks for my pictures. On these I used some Kelsey Smith presets.

Sandblasting originally made use of silica particles exclusively, but as research uncovered health risks associated with long-term exposure to the dust created by silica blasting, alternative media were developed. These media, while minimizing health risks, were also discovered to outperform silica media in some applications.
For example, the development of shot peening equipment allowed for the speedy and efficient peening, or strain hardening, of large areas of metal surfaces, a process that would have been impossible using silica media. Crushed walnut shells were also developed as blasting media and were discovered to create smaller amounts of dust during the treatment process.
Soda blasting equipment, which uses bicarbonate of soda for blasting media, became popular for the same reason. Even more varieties of blast media are utilized in grit blasters and shot blasters.
All media blasting treatments work according to the same, basic concept: small particles moving at high speeds collide with surface particles and dislodge them. Beyond this commonality, though, blasting techniques vary dramatically in terms of method and their intended purpose. One use, for example, could be to remove impurities from a surface in advance of paint reapplication.
Such sandblasting projects are usually intended to create the smoothest, most paint-ready surface possible. Glass etching, on the other hand, can be performed with entirely different blast media and may leave the surface rough and clouded. Different effects will be achieved in the blasting process depending on what kind of blast media is used.
Aluminum oxide, for example, is used for cutting through metals and is prized because it can be easily reused. Corn cobs are often used when a surface is likely to be damaged by harsher media. The rest of the variety of basting media ranges for the super-coarse and hard to the super-fine and soft; the whole range is necessary to accommodate the equally wide range of media blasting applications.

B Speak Alert: Pillsbury Is Back, Better Than Ever And Unveiling New Jargon Gems!/
One of the real maestro's of B-Speak is back on the golf stage as Club Corp CEO hired David Pillsbury and the time away has done wonders for his vocabulary.
While he paints in many of the best modern colors—employee partners, speed to market—Pillsbury unfurled some new modern classics discussing Club Corp's initiative with BigShots, a family golf center concept.
While broadening "the top of the funnel" and a "cradle to grave strategy" gave me goosebumps, it's the concept of friction that most astounds.
"Interest in golf has never been higher. The problem is friction. There's too much friction when someone wants to convert interest…"
It's not cost, difficulty or time, people. It's friction!

Subscribe To Vostok Explains How S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 Collapsed Updates
I've already subscribed
Vostok Games, formerly known as GSC Game World, was working on an ambitious sequel to their famed FPS brand S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Everything eventually fell through and GSC Game World dissolved. One of the members of the team explains how it all went south and what they hope to achieve with their new game Suvarium.
VG 24/7 lays out the details in an upcoming interview they conducted with former GSC World member and current PR and marketing manager for Vostok Games, Oleg Yavorsky.
In a lengthy breakdown of the events that led to GSC Game World closing, Vostok Games emerging out the ashes and the team having to work on from scratch on their new survival MMOFPS, Survarium, Yavorsky lets it all hang out, stating...
"That unfortunately, was a forced move. Back in December 2011, after GSC Game World was unexpectedly closed down by its owner and S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 development was 'frozen'. The team had two choices – scatter and start seeking employment elsewhere or stick together and try to secure some type of investment to continue developing the project we're all so passionate about.
To turn an extremely long story into a short summary: GSC Game World's boss had been put in a bad bind by investors because they wanted S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 to be a multiplatform FPS release. Unfortunately for the team, that would have extended development time by at least two years (and would have been wasteful given that S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 is not a game that would have ever turned out right on current gen consoles).
The owner of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. IP wasn't really happy where everything was going and finances were getting tight. The whole thing turned into a nightmare and eventually the team basically went through a bureaucratic nuclear emission storm (not unlike the stalkers in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.) and when it was all done and settled they were no longer GSC Game World, they were no longer working on S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 and they ended up at Vostok Games designing the post-apocalyptic survival shooter, Survarium.
It's a great piece, and I'm really hoping the team pulls through with their new game, assuming it's not another theme park MOFPS. You can check out the entire piece over at VG 24/7.

Each of us wants to show our home in its best light. We want guests to be wowed by it and prospective buyers to choose it out of all the homes they tour. Luckily, a few simple steps can help move your abode to the top of the list. According to Moneysense Magazine, home staging can bring in six per cent above a home's asking price.
1. Curb Appeal
Statistics say potential buyers will make up their minds about your home within the first 30 seconds. Part of these first moments is spent on your curb appeal. From the driveway to the front door, your home's personality should shine. Keep your exterior maintained and upkeep the landscaping. Complementary lighting and a cosy porch chair can make a big difference on those first 30 seconds.
2. First Impression
The entry to your home is the first impression of what's inside. Help this space make a statement by keeping it clear. Add conveniences like coat hooks and a bench so visitors can take a load off while removing their shoes.
3. Depersonalize
Prospective buyers want to be able to easily picture themselves in your house. If it looks too much like your place, with family photos on the mantel and your kid's finger paintings on the fridge and walls, buyers will have a hard time taking you out of the picture.
4. Neutralize
Your red dining room and lime green bathroom might be inspiring for you but a bit overwhelming for others. Create a clean canvas by painting your walls in neutral shades. Add colour with throw pillows and striking art rather than paint.
35. Declutter
Pare down your stuff. Store away all excess décor items and leave out only one or two items per surface. Put away shoes, remotes and extra appliances like toasters and coffee makers. The more "house" potential buyers can see, the more likely they are to see its potential.
6. Added Touch
Baking cookies before an open house and displaying them for buyers on a platter creates a homey smell and feel and adds intriguing warmth. Adding fresh-cut flowers throughout the home creates a lived-in, yet clean and fresh vibe to a space. While candles add a romantic atmosphere and soft, forgiving light to the rooms of your home. Subtle, relaxing music playing in the background is another great idea for making your home a relaxing experience.
7. Highlight Unique Features
If you have an exposed brick wall, a stone fireplace of beautiful masonry or historic features, highlight them by removing clutter and drawing attention with lighting, art or fresh flowers. Make sure the features that set your house apart get noticed.
8. Notice Sightlines
Take a stroll around your home and pay attention to what you see. Look down the hall and take note of what you can see though the doorways of each room. Make sure what you can see is pleasing to the eye. Add a throw to the end of the spare bed. Place a reading chair under the lamp in the corner of the master bedroom. These little details will make a big difference as buyers move through your home.
9. Repair
Make sure any chips, scrapes, dents and stains are fixed before showing your home. No one wants to buy into a pile of work. In addition, any half-accomplished projects should be completed before listing your home for a polished, finished interior and exterior.
10. Room Function
Give every room a reason. If the spare room has been acting as your home office for the past few years, convert it back. An extra bedroom will be more valuable in the end. The same goes for your dining room. You may never use it, but setting the table helps visitors picture themselves having Sunday meals there.
A little preparation can go a long way when staging your home to sell. With a little effort here and there, you may even reduce the amount of time the house sits on the market before it strikes the right cord.

Global business barometer
Global business sentiment has grown much gloomier, according to an Economist/FT survey of over 1,500 executives, conducted by the Economist Intelligence Unit. The balance of respondents who think the world economy will improve over those who think it will get worse fell from minus 5 percentage points in April to minus 25 in July. While sentiment was still bearish in April, it had been improving (suits in North America, the Middle East and Africa were even bullish). Overall, 42% of executives now say business conditions will grow worse. More than half reported trouble finding talented staff. Most predicted, unsurprisingly, that the biggest problem in Europe would be economic uncertainty.

The Mamifesto!/
I thought of this blog the minute I wrote my tagline one year ago today. I toyed with it but never actually started putting finger to keyboard until a few months ago. Tonight, after a playdate with the frog princess the last of it spilled out of me easily and without much trouble, kinda like her farts. A year ago today, I sat on my couch and looked through this thing called WordPress for a template I liked. I had watched the movie Motherhood the Saturday prior and it had inspired me to finally create a blog (if you haven't caught the movie, check it out, you'll love it too). I posted my first blog a few minutes after midnight so, I guess that means my official blogoversary is 9/29. I'm not sure if I'll make it to midnight tonight.
So, here it is. A year in the making! Thank you for all of your love and support. T-shirts will be coming shortly (let me know in the comments if you'd like to purchase and what size you'd like so I get an idea of how many to order). One will read: The Mamifesto and the other will read: Welcome to the 'Hood! I look forward to many more years of having the privilege to write for you. Will you sign The Mamihood's Declaration of Independence?
- To not feel guilty when we are at work because we are not with our children
- To not feel guilty when we are at home because we are not at work
- To be okay with the house looking a mess because our children won't remember a clean kitchen but will appreciate our undying love
- To be okay with our friends who have perfect houses and not try to get to the deep down secret of how they do it all (because we are all guessing it's a maid)
- To cut ourselves some slack when we have to run through the drive thru (yes, I want to feed the child organic food too but, sometimes it can't be helped)
- To not fret over having to sit the kid(s) down in front of the television when we have to make a phone call/answer an email/tweet/blog/poop or call our girlfriend to cry on the phone about what big failures we are
- To not criticize or judge stay at home mamis because sometimes they work even harder at home as there is never a break
- To not criticize or judge working mamis because we get a certain joy and purpose from our careers and though some certainly wish we could afford to stay at home with our children, the rest are perfectly happy trying to find a balance that will bring them fulfillment and happiness
- To keep an open mind with regards to other mamis. Regardless of the parenting choices they have made because we do not wish to be judged either
- To support fellow mamis even if we don't 100% agree with their methods
- To befriend, support and show compassion for other mamis and to do away with the S cliques that those that are still insecure from high school insist on creating

FAQs which are asked about the Owl Centre and its services
1. Is a GP Referral required to undertake private therapy at The Owl Centre?
No. Parents or carers do not need a GP referral or anything similar in order to take up private therapy. Contacting The Owl Centre directly is sufficient. This is the case even if the child is known to the NHS. In such a situation, The Owl Centre recommends that its therapists liaise with the NHS in order to ensure a seamless and co-ordinated service, but this is not obligatory.
2. In what instances is private therapy suitable for children?
There are no hard and fast rules, and The Owl Centre will see any child that a parent or carer is concerned about. We have a wide range of specialists who can advise on practically every issue.
To provide some examples, private therapy can be valuable when (a) parents or carers want advice about a concern they have, but wish to bypass the NHS or the waiting list they happen to be on; (b) a child is being seen by the NHS but needs top-up therapy to make faster progress, (c) a second opinion is desired, or (d) parents or carers desire more ideas on how to achieve a particular goal or implement a strategy. Note that if the child is known by the NHS and there are a current set of targets available, The Owl Centre does not need to carry out a new assessment in most cases (unless the parents want a new assessment).
3. Does having private therapy affect the service I will receive in the NHS?
No. However, the benefits of private therapy include one-to-one therapy and no waiting lists. Furthermore, as we also work in the NHS, we have strong links with the NHS Speech and Language Therapists and will ensure that we work together to provide your child with a coherent therapy programme.
4.What if I need to cancel an arranged session?
Please try to contact us 24 hours before the scheduled appointment. You will be charged 50% of the session price if you do not attend without cancelling in advance. Also, if you are late, you will be charged in full but the appointment will end at the scheduled time.
5. How many sessions of therapy would you recommend each month, and for how many months?
Our service is dependent on the child's needs, and this will of course vary from case to case. However, the maximum number of sessions in most cases is 8 per month (i.e. 2 per week). We will always inform parents when we believe that therapy is no longer necessary or that its results are / would be negligible.
6. As private therapists, will you make contact with, or attend meetings at, my child's school?
Yes. We have extensive knowledge of the counties' school systems, and are happy to liaise with our colleagues in Education.
7. When is private therapy suitable for schools?
In instances where the school wants more input or support; or where it wants greater autonomy over the kind of service it receives so that that service can be tailor-made to its specification; an Owl Centre therapist can attend the school for regular sessions in order to assess children and create packages of care, which may take the form of group therapy or individualized 1:1 therapy.
8. Can the Owl Centre provide Statement Reports?
As Owl Centre therapists have close links with the NHS, they do not provide separate Statement Reports as this could result in a conflict of interests. Instead, they feed information into a report produced in collaboration with NHS colleagues.
9. Do you visit homes in all parts of Gloucestershire? What about outreach visits in Herefordshire, Worcestershire, Wiltshire and Somerset?
In certain cases, it may be possible for one of our therapists to visit a child at home or in school/nursery in Gloucestershire, Herefordshire, Worcestershire, Wiltshire and Somerset.
Locations that we may also visit include:
- Aston Somerville
- Avening
- Berkeley
- Bishop's Cleeve

For her SS10/11 Elke Kramer imagined a glamorous botanist, her jewellery and accessories reflecting her fascination of the amazing and rare flora and fauna she examines picturing her sitting in her summer garden a cacophony of details and natural beauty surround her and adorn her.
Inspired by the microscopic studies of plant cells and the floral investigations by German biologist and philosopher Ernst Haeckel, Kramer has created a rich and intricate jewellery story borrowing from the beauty of tendrils and spores, lichen and protozoa, mould and fungi.

LSU football junior class opts to stay in school
If you were an LSU Tiger football fan with an all access pass to the football operations building today, you probably would've left feeling pretty good about your team, your coach, and your chances at making some noise next season.
The questions at quarterback aren't going away, but today they were shoved to the back of the closet, as a six pack of soon to be Tiger seniors said and did all the right things.
The things that Tigers of the past failed to do.
Wide receiver Travin Dural, tight end Dillon Gordon, lineman Vadal Alexander and Gerald Hawkins,
linebacker Lamar Louis and safety Jalen Mills all realized they and their team would be better served by their return to the purple and gold for one more season.
Unlike past years when some Tigers made smart financial decisions and others made boneheaded, bound to fail choices, this year, of the six players we were questiong to leave, half said they'll be back.
Their reasons were varied and at the same time the same.
Their love of college ball, their love of their teammates and coaches and their desire to be champions brought them back for more.Statements from LB Lamar Louis, DB Jalen Mills and OL Vadal Alexander:
LB Lamar Louis
"It's good to be back. My decision to come back was pretty simple and easy. I didn't have the full measure of success with a championship and degree. I'm going to finish up getting my degree and we are going to fight for a championship this year. Anybody who is a junior and has the ability to come out, even though you're not very high, is something to think about. When you're presented with the league minimum it takes some thought to give depending on your situation. It really hits you when it's time to decide. I have all of my brothers who are counting on me to finish some business that we didn't take care of. Every year we are fighting for a championship and that's the number one goal. At the end of the day we wanted to say we got a championship and a degree. My decision was pretty simple. I was very encouraged with the additions to the coaching staff in coach (Kevin) Steele and coach (Ed) Orgeron. I had an opportunity to meet with coach Steele and it was a very good meeting. I'm very enthused with what's going on around the defense. One thing that struck me was when he had the opportunity to coach Sam Mills in the NFL. We have a bunch of Sam Mills type linebackers running around LSU right now. I thought that was a plus for my linebacker group and me. I know that he has had some success in the past in different schemes as far as running more 3-4. That's one thing that we are really excited about, being able to play something different. We are a very versatile defense. "
S Jalen Mills
"With this whole process, I feel like the hardest part for me was seeing guys that I have actually played with and guys that I know - Patrick Peterson, Eric Reid, Barkevious Mingo - you see those guys and they come in and play ball. You kind of want to be not exactly like them, but you want put yourself in the position that they put themselves in. As a junior you have that decision, but you also have the decision to come back. The biggest part for me coming back was coach Miles actually coming to my house and taking the time because everybody knows he's a busy man. Taking the time and sitting down with my mom, just laying out for my family and I the better situation of me staying for my last year. Also hammering to my mom the importance of getting my degree. The NFL might not last for long, but once you get that degree, no one can take that from you. That's really what made my final decision, just coming back and trying to get my degree and being one of the leaders on the team. I want to show the younger guys the way and I feel that's what a lot of teams miss at times. Juniors leave early so their team is young and haven't gotten a total feel for it. So coming back, being a senior and being able to show the younger guys how we do things around here. I feel like we're going to be a top contender for a national championship because of the guys I have sitting to the right of me. They're all playmakers at their positions. Coach Miles is the leader of our team and we trust him. I trust his judgment, coming to me and telling me all of the things I can benefit from by coming back. He helped make my final decision, and I called and told him that I'm coming to get my degree and play for a national championship. I want to thank coach Miles for putting the time in with me to help me with my decision. I'm happy to be an LSU Tiger."
OT Vadal Alexander
"I'd like to thank God, my family, my sister, my dad and mom. I have loved LSU ever since I was a kid. Growing up, my dad always wore LSU stuff so I didn't know anything else other than that. I watched the national championship game with Justin Vincent running the ball. I watched us win the national championship in 2007 with coach Miles and I always dreamed about being on that team and being a part of that. I really do love LSU. I love the fans, coaches, trainers, and the entire staff. It's not easy being a college athlete but it's worth it. Sitting back thinking about everything, we have the opportunity to go to the NFL and leave school early, but we would be leaving a lot behind. When you think about it, it's really worth coming back to better yourself, better the team, and better the LSU program. I sat down with coach Miles and talked to him with my parents. We had a really in depth conversation about the pros and cons of leaving and staying. I realized how important this program is for me. I thought about when I first came to LSU when I was little for summer camps. I was probably nine and after camp I was taking pictures by the tiger with my dad, coach Miles knows the story. He walked past us then stopped and turned around and said 'One day you're going to be an LSU Tiger'. I was only like nine years old but it meant the world to me that he said that. It always stuck with me that he said that. I want to thank coach Miles, coach Grimes, coach Cameron, coach Wilson, coach Ensminger and the entire staff. Like coach Miles said, there's a lot to look forward to in the NFL, but it would be premature to leave without winning a national championship, getting my degree, and bettering myself as a player. With the help of coach Miles, coach Grimes and my fellow seniors, I feel like we can do that. You only get one chance to play in Tiger Stadium in front of 100,000. I get another year of that and I feel like it's worth it. I hope we can accomplish something big this year."

When it comes to photographing the greats, David Bellemare shot his fair share. His hit list includes nudes of supermodels Constance Jablonski and Isabeli Fontana, which have been featured in Lui magazine. He's worked with Emily Ratajkowski, and can even count a Victoria's Secret angel or two to his extensive portfolio. Nonetheless, his shoots with model, Jeannie Jay, David has out done his self.
Every shot conspires to be classic Bellemare: Jeannie embodies a number of winding and conspicuous poses in a naturally-lit boudoir. This graceful beauty carefully balances passion with exuberance to galvanize each photo.

Some of our Hotels in Normandy with on-line availability
Normandy is a province situated in the north-west of France. It is made up of two regions (Upper and Lower Normandy), divided into other five counties: Manche, Calvados, Orne, Eure and Seine-Maritime.
The territory, set between the pleasant valley of the Seine and the famous site of Mont-Saint-Michel is massively cultivated.
The inland is characterised by wide green pastures, farms and apple-trees plantations, whereas the shore is strewn with typical fishermen villages ( with characteristic wooden and brick houses) where you can taste fresh and tasty crustaceans.
The landscape of Normandy boasts some real gems, from the white cliffs of Etreat to the tiny villages set in the middle of flowered meadows which are so recurrent in Monet's paintings.
From the historical point of view, the region of Normandy has been subject to several invasions. Already in the IX century it was occupied by the Vikings coming from Denmark and Norway. The name Normandy actually originates from the word (Norsemen) (men of the North) which was given to these populations. Normandy is also the home country of William the Conqueror, he himself of Viking origin, who was crowned king of England after the successful battle of Hastings in 1066, The "Bayeux Tapestry", depicts this famous historic event. With a length of 70 metres, the tapestry dates from 1070, and it is exhibited in the Centre Guillaume.
During the "Hundred Years' War"between the Kingdom of England and France (1337 – 1453) Normandy was subject to constant claims from both parties, until the battle of Formigni in 1450, sanctioned the definitive victory of France. A period of reconstruction followed after the devastations caused by the conflict.
More recently, during the Second World War Normandy played a major role, being one of the main strategic points from where the reconquest of Europe by the Allied Forces kicked off. On 6th June 1944, commonly known as "D-day", the so called Overlord operation began. The Normandy Invasion is the biggest amphibious operation in history, which involved more than 155.000 men, 1.200 war ships, 4.120 landing means and 12.000 aircrafts.
The terrible battles which followed the landing operations left a deep mark in places like Caen and Le Havre, which were severely damaged by the air raids, and in many other villages on the coast. Today memorials, war museums, military cemeteries and endless rows of crosses are still there to remind visitors of the horrors of war.

(No More) Mediocre Me
How Saying No to the Status Quo Will Propel You From Ordinary to Extraordinary
- $9.99
- $9.99
Publisher Description
It's certainly easy to understand why mediocrity seems to be the new norm in our country. After all, take a look around. As you read this we find ourselves burdened with immense national debt, polarized political parties, sky high unemployment, and increasing levels of hunger, homelessness, and hopelessness. All while our discontent with leaders across all segments of society leaves us scratching our heads and searching our hearts to understand, "how did we end up here?" The more important question, of course, is where do we go from here? And, as importantly, what role will you play? This is where I have some good news to offer. Mediocre Me reminds us the solution to the current mess we're in is already present—"invisible" in plain sight. It's not found in another government program nor can it be dictated merely by expert opinions. Rather, the answer to our individual and collective challenges is found in the inspiring example of those citizen-leaders in our midst who are hard at work trying to move things solidly forward in their spheres of influence. And, best of all, they are waiting for more of us to join them. Sound frightening? Challenging? Too difficult to pull off, you say? Think again.

The issue seem to be libcec-git linking to the static "lockdev".
I have an updated PKGBUILD for lockdev here: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/6527648/arch/lockdev/PKGBUILD

It takes two to tango: Rebuilding trust starts with one question/
Last week, while I was facilitating a 'Building Trusting Relationships in the Workplace' workshop for one of my clients, a participant had an epiphany.
We were discussing how to build trust and repair broken trust.
This outspoken learner piped up about a damaged workplace relationship and the problems with the other person in it.
So I asked her this question that stopped her dead in her tracks…
I'll share this question with you here, but let's first talk about trust building.Read More

It's apple season! Growing up in the apple orchard when I was little, I loved this time of year when we started to pick and make everything imaginable with apples. We dried them, made apple butter and apple sauce, pies and tarts…the list is endless!
Cutting apples into matchstick-sized pieces for a salad makes them just a little more fun to eat, don't you think? Slice a few apples this way and toss them with chopped pecans (or any nuts), dried berries and raisins (I bought a mix at Trader Joe's with golden raisins, blueberries and cranberries), plus some fresh cilantro. Dress with a bit of olive oil, lemon and salt. Sweet, Salty, Savory!
This week The Forest Feast turned 3, and I love that this little blog's birthday falls during the harvest season. This week, our family is celebrating my favorite Jewish holiday- Sukkot, a harvest holiday where we build a little hut outside and have meals under it for a week. It's so fun! And we've had warm nights here in the woods lately which has made it even better. I made this salad the other night and it was a hit.
Happy Harvest!
