The proposed 30-million-tonne refinery at Mundra will make Prime Minister Narendra Modi's native state, Gujarat, a bigger energy hub. The two companies currently have a joint venture for city gas distribution. Mundra appears to be attractive as majority of the land needed for the project is already available with the Adanis and their Mundra SEZ has recently been given clearance by environment ministry.
Lupin has set a target to take its India revenue to Rs 3,000 crore by the end of 2014, as the Mumbai drug maker gears up to launch more products and enter new therapy segments in the coming months.

Lupin, which registered a 24% increase in the India business in its first quarter through June, growth prospects will be through partnerships with big pharma.

UltraTech Cement, the country's largest manufacturer of the product, expects growth of 25 percent in turnover this financial year. This is on the back of a better demand scenario and a boost for housing and infrastructure after the Narendra Modi government assumed office. With Jaiprakash's Gujarat 4.8 mt unit now fully amalgamated with UltraTech, there will be an incremental impact on sales and profitability. UltraTech bought the unit for Rs 3,800 crore. In FY14, UltraTech reported flat growth in net sales at Rs 20,078 crore, against Rs 20,023 crore in FY13. The Aditya Birla Group company already had shown higher than expected net sales during the first quarter of this financial year.

MOSCOW — Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said on Monday he wanted his US counterpart Barack Obama to win re-election next year, fearing that the two men's efforts to improve ties may lose steam under a new administration.
"I can tell you directly — I would like Barack Obama to be re-elected president of the United States maybe more than someone else," Medvedev said in an interview with the Financial Times whose full transcript was released by the Kremlin early Monday.
"If another person becomes US president then he may have another course," he said.
"We understand that there are representatives of a rather conservative wing there who are trying to achieve their political goals at the expense of inflaming passions in relation to Russia, among other things.
"But what use is criticising them? This is simply a way of achieving political goals."
Since being installed at the Kremlin by his mentor Vladimir Putin, known for his hawkish views, Medvedev has made improving ties with the United States a key plank of his foreign policies.
The "reset" in ties has yielded a key nuclear arms treaty, Russian support of a UN resolution on Libya and Medvedev's decision not to supply S-300 air defense missiles to Iran.
But asked whether he thought the "reset" in relations would last for a long time, Medvedev waxed philosophical. "Nothing lasts too long under the moon."

Parts of Child Theme are Overridden in IE (all versions)
Strangely (!), my child theme (derived from bp-default, v. 184.108.40.206) works great in every browser except any version of IE. Not surprising really, except that in this case, it is only the background colors and images, which seem to be getting overridden, but I can't figure out from where/by what.
For now I put a conditional style in the header for IE, so at least the background color is right, but can anyone figure out why this would happen?

Grizzly Bear's Chris Taylor Talks Jay-Z, Twilight Soundtrack, Solo Project
Plus the scoop on his new label and that Michael McDonald remix.
By Ryan Dombal on November 5, 2009 at 10:50 a.m. EST
Photo by Samantha West
Since the May release of their album Veckatimest, Grizzly Bear have maintained a mighty strong presence on Pitchfork News. If they're not contributing a track to the country's most popular Mormon vampire soap opera, they're getting yacht rock legend Michael McDonald to sing one of their songs or releasing beautifully tripped-out videos. And sometimes the news is coming to them, like when Jay-Z and BeyoncĂŠ shocked thousands of sunburned Brooklynites when they showed up to a Grizzly Bear gig in Williamsburg over the summer.
But all that's not enough for the band's multi-instrumentalist/singer/producer Chris Taylor, who recently launched his own boutique label, Terrible Records, and a new solo project called CANT.
Last week, when we got the chance to chat with Taylor while he was in England prepping for Grizzly Bear's show with the London Symphony Orchestra, we asked him about all of the above:
Pitchfork: Jay-Z showed up to Grizzly Bear's Williamsburg show over the summer. When did you find out he was actually there?
Chris Taylor: When we saw him. We were waiting to go onstage, and Ed [Droste] spotted him first and was like, "Oh man, he actually showed up." We had got word, like, "He's supposed to be coming so make sure he can get in." And we were like, "He's not coming." We were shocked. It came about through Solange Knowles, Beyoncé's younger sister, who's a total sweetheart and a friend of the band's. I guess Beyoncé was into "Two Weeks", and she must have brought Jay-Z along.
Pitchfork: Are you guys Jay-Z fans?
CT: Totally. Every one of us. We're longtime fans of Beyoncé too. How could you not be?
Pitchfork: Do you think there's something to what Jay said in an interview about indie rock being at a tipping point like where rap was in the 1980s?
CT: Maybe he was referring to indie rock becoming more adventurous. The fact that indie rock is so much more visible now is amazing; I think a lot of that is just due to the internet. I thought the internet would hurt, but it's making people more aware of more music. I don't even know how to steal music online... At the same time, the way people are sharing stuff is amazing. It's made way for independently released music to become more popular, and possibly change pop music.
Pitchfork: Going off the idea that indie music is continuing to grow, there's the Twilight: New Moon soundtrack, which hit number one on the Billboard charts and is loaded with indie artists-- including Grizzly Bear. Were you surprised to be asked to be on that soundtrack?
CT: Initially, it was like, "What?!" But Thom Yorke did it, and we like him. It's like: "If dad does it, it's OK, right?" Radiohead are like parents of good modern rock 'n' roll in certain ways. They paved that path. They've always maintained such a classy vibe environmentally, musically, and as just polite, down-to-earth people. They're really something to look up to and it's comforting to know that bands like that can make great music and it can be well received and they can set a precedent.
We wrote and recorded the song in a couple days, handed it in, and crossed our fingers. We were like, "They're not going to take it." But they did. We're also working on two other soundtracks at the moment that I think are getting wrapped up. They're for much more independent movies-- I can't say what they are yet, though.
Pitchfork: How familiar are you with the whole Twilight universe? Have you read any of the books?
CT: I don't think I'd really read the books. I've seen parts of the first movie, but I haven't actually sat down and watched the whole thing. I'm interested to see the new one. I find the relationship between the Mormon element and the dark vibe intriguing; the sexy vampire element is fun.
Pitchfork: Moving away from vampires, why did you start your new label, Terrible Records?
CT: There were all these bands that I really wanted to work with but it was always tough lining up schedules. So the idea to do a split 7" series came about out of that. I wanted to make a little art book for myself with some my favorite bands-- almost like a time capsule or an installation. It's going to be 20 7"'s, so 40 bands in total. And we'll release little EPs that I produce, too. I want to stay away from full-length albums because the last thing I want to do is let bands down.
Pitchfork: The first release on Terrible is a song you did under the moniker CANT. Is that a one-off thing or a more permanent solo situation?
CT: It's definitely not a "Chris Taylor goes solo" situation. There are a lot of things that I can't really do in Grizzly Bear-- no pun intended. I've been trying to finish songs for 16 years and I literally can't finish them-- that's where the pun comes in. It's like a challenge to myself to actually finish a song. That was also part of the importance of starting my own label; if I did make my own music, I want it to be released on my own terms.
Pitchfork: So is the CANT track "Ghosts" the first song you've ever totally completed?
CT: Yeah, that is unfortunately 100 percent true. It took a long time. But I don't put that much stock into this song-- I don't consider it a masterpiece. I was just happy that I finally finished something.
Pitchfork: There seems to be a self-deprecating streak running through this endeavor, given the name of the label and side project.
CT: Terrible has been my nickname for a while. My friends gave me the nickname years ago as a joke, because if I didn't have food or didn't get sleep I would get kind of grumpy. So, like: Sometimes he's terrible, sometimes he's not. My best friend has "Terrible" tattooed on his arm.
Pitchfork: Do you have his nickname on your arm?
CT: He never had nickname and his name is Matt, so it might be a bit strange if I put "Matt" on my arm. We share the same tattoo, though, it's two little arrows. I just thought Terrible Records was a hilarious name.
Pitchfork: How did the Michael McDonald remix of "While You Wait for the Others" come about?
CT: My ex-girlfriend's dad was a bass player in that yacht rock scene-- he actually played with Kenny Loggins and the Fleetwood Mac crew. So she asked him, "Do you ever keep in touch with Michael McDonald, dad?" And he said, "Yeah, I talk to him every week!" So we sent Michael the record. He had never heard of us, but he really liked the songs and wanted to be a part of it.
Pitchfork: Why did you want Michael McDonald specifically?
CT: When we were recording the vocals for "While You Wait", [singer/guitarist] Dan [Rossen] would always say, "I don't think I should sing this song. I just wish somebody like Michael McDonald could sing it." It just seemed like a cooler idea than getting a house remix of "While You Wait For the Others".
Pitchfork: Were you actually in the studio with him?
CT: No. He did it at his own studio, and then he sent me the vocal tracks. It almost happened, though. He was going to come and record with me, and I was like, "Oh my God, tomorrow's going to be so sweet!" But then he called me and said, "I forgot, I have to play a wedding."

G-Shock and Nigel Sylvester Made a Watch with Balls
Mar 10 2013
Watch brands collaborating with athletes on special-edition styles is not a novel idea in the world of fashion. So what makes G-Shock's latest collaboration with Nigel Sylvester any different? First off, he's not your average athlete.
As a BMX rider whose training on the streets of NYC eventually lead him to go pro, Nigel Sylvester strays from the kind of sports star usually tied to watch collaborations—think race-car drivers, pro basketball players, fencers, and other folks whose personal brands (and their watches) ooze exclusivity and elitism. But with Nigel's second collaboration with G-Shock, what we get is a sharp-looking watch that actually has some balls.
Nigel is considered one of the top BMX athletes and, like many others in his line of work, is a self-made success. And it's that kind of realness and respectable hustle that's reflected in his G-Shock watches, along with Nigel's biggest style muse, his hometown of New York City.
"I've been working on this piece for the past eight months," Nigel mentioned to me at G-Shock's release party this week in New York. "It's finally live, it's finally here, and I'm very proud of it. It's a representation of everything that I've been going through for the past year: of inspirations, my influences, my city."
"One of the strongest features on the watch that is very New York-centric is the safari print we put on the band," continued Nigel. "You know how New York can be so chaotic, so intense, so exhilarating. It can be a safari or a jungle in that sense at any moment. And you have to navigate through that."
"Sometimes New York can be dark, it can be black. But black also feels elegant and beautiful, humbling, so that's what that stands for."
After chatting it up a bit more with Nigel on his new super slick watch, I finally headed downstairs where the rest of the party was. It was an epic night: I met Miss New York USA, pissed off one of the A$AP Mob kids because I didn't move as I was trying to capture a photo (but then we hugged it out in the end), discovered that Jadakiss is alive and well, and then ended the night getting myself and my camera drenched in water thanks to A$AP Ferg freaking out on the crowd with a bottle of water at the start of his performance.
You can see all the shenanigans and party freaks from this past Thursday's event in the photo gallery above.

Its lush forests and cloud-ringed mountains are home to a complex ecosystem of indigenous races and exotic creatures.

Don't ban the Hijab
in Politics
On this episode, I will make the case against banning the hijab. Of course, it is an undeniable fact that throughout the Arab and Muslim world, the hijab is a symbol of the brutalization of women [especially in Islamo-Fascist terror states such as Iran, Saudi Arabia, and Hamas-controlled Gaza]. But is banning the hijab the answer, as what many people [particularly the wingnut Islamophbobes] suggest? I will show you why the answer is no. First of all, in America, people have the freedom of religion, which means that religion doesn't have to only be practiced in the closet. As someone who is religiously observant [Jewish] and who wears religious garments [Kippah and tzit tzit] out in public, I find it very concerning whenever there is a move to ban a particular public expression of religion [which includes banning a religious garment]. To be honest, as someone who lives in the US as of now [before I make Aliyah to Israel], in many ways, I find the issue of religious freedom to even be a bigger concern than US support for Israel [though I strongly support Israel and the US-Israel alliance]. Banning the hijab because we don't like that belief or what it symbolizes leads to a very ugly bigoted intolerant path, period. So in this episode, I will make the case against banning the hijab.
RFB ~ The Hijab/Niqab means Domination
Westerners think women wearing the hijab/niqab is a suppression of women within islam. Far from it... It is a way of saying, "We are here, we are different, and here to let you know it.."
Thus the muslim brotherhood indoctrination, embracement, and unleashing of Sharia and Caliphate...

What is hijab? Why do Muslim women wear it?
in Islam
Hijab has nothing to do with being submissive to men but everything to do with being loyal to our Creator. In this message we will go over what "hijab" really means, the fact that Islam also gives men hijab and the benefits it brings. Women are NOT sex objects, eye-candy or forbidden fruit to be put out on display to tease and please men or to be measured, envied and judged by other women. Women are valuable and powerful in our own right without having to reveal the most precious thing we possess (our bodies).
With the media showing images of women in burka or what they believe to be hijab, it is easy to wonder why any woman would choose to dress this way. The reality is, hijab is worn with the one concept (loyalty) but in different ways by different women. Hijab can benefit ALL women. Women who enjoy swimming, working out or playing sports but hate the feeling of others measuring or comparing body parts. Women who want to be respected just as men who wear lose fitted clothes that do NOT hint of what they have. Hijab is NOT frumpy or an elderly way of dress, there is a whole world of fashion/beauty and style for hijibis that can help any women of any religion.

PMP: Beyond the Veil: Using veils and head-coverings in Pagan practice
in Spirituality
It is not uncommon to find Pagan high priestesses and celebrants wearing something on their heads, be it a full, face-covering veil, a headdress, a hair-covering scarf or shawl, or even a small, tiara-like circlet.
This week, Kalisara and RevKess are bringing you a panel discussion: Pagan women from many different paths and beliefs who share the practice of using veils and other head coverings in their ritual and/or daily lives.
While we have touched on this topic previously, this time we will hear from those women who practice veiling, discussing the why's, the how's, the when's, as well as the problems that can come from veiling. We will be hearing their stories, many of which embody a quiet strength reflective of the oft-veiled Matron Goddesses.

Polygyny: Are Men With Multiple Wives Benefitting Women or Exploiting Women?
in Women
What is the real purpose of marriage? As the world continues to watch in horror, members of the terrorist group Boko Haram who kidnapped 234 Nigerian girls from their school April 14, have release yet another video bragging that they have converted all the girls to Islam. The video shows hijab clad girls reciting verses from the Holy Quran, appearing to be calm and unhurt. The name Boko Haram means "Western Education is Sinful" and leaders of the group have declared that the girls had no business being in school, they should be married instead. Does Islam teach subjugation of women to men? If not, do Muslim men believe it does? What is the concept of marriage in Islam? If Muslim wives are to be kept uneducated and subservient, what is the purpose of multiple wives in Islam? One reason why women in the West are apprehensive about the spread of Islam and the idea of Polygyny is the images of women being forced to quit school, cover up, recite prayers, and remain inside the house against their will. The idea of granting a man with this concept of marriage the right to have and oppress multiple wives is frightening to women. Are men with multiple wives benefitting women? Or are the women being exploited in the name of religion? Can polygyny ever result in fair and equal treatment of women or is it a repressive concept that should be banned forever? If polygyny is beneficial to women, how should men be trained and prepared to handle the responsibility of providing equal financial assistance, equal emotional support and equal companionship for several wives?

Continuing on with the What's Your Story? feature I started a few weeks ago... a brief recap: I posted a call for your individual stories as artists in this business, whatever your trade is; whether stories of triumph, tragedy, lessons learned, regrets, etc. Read that post HERE to catch up if necessary.
Your responses have been coming in, which is great! Keep'em coming. I'll continue to post as many as I can.
The 6th submission comes from writer/director Aaron Philip Clark; dive in below for his story:
Ever since I was 12, I wanted to be a filmmaker. And in the black community, announcing you want to be a filmmaker or an artist in general usually elicits various responses. One, the classic, "Is there any money in that?" Two, "You're too smart. What about being a doctor or a lawyer?" Luckily my parents pushed me to be what I wanted and the only opposition I encountered was from outsiders. I was also lucky enough to make good friends in film school, and while we were in our first year at North Carolina School of the Arts, now UNCSA, we made a mockumentary film.
The film was called "The Armada". It centered on the race riot of 1898 in Wilmington, NC. Our director, Rev. Jerry M. Grimes, had a great idea. Inspired by the history of La Cosa Nostra, he imagined an organization formed after the riot as a way to keep blacks safe in the South. A kind of watch group, armed with guns and Bibles. It would be called "The Armada". But like many organizations, overtime it would be changed by corruption and members who thirsted for power; rendering The Armada just another mafia-like enterprise.
The film was accepted into the Hollywood Underground Film Festival in 2002. It was major for us. We met agents and stars, and everything in between. We were on our way, so we thought. And a year later, now living in Los Angeles, I was told by a friend that Spike Lee would be giving a lecture at McKenna College in Claremont, CA. With the film and a stack of business cards, we headed out to Claremont. Spike delivered an entertaining lecture and at the end he decided he'd sign some of his DVDs for fans. I fought my way to the stage, against the current of people who were trying to exit. When I finally made it to the stage, a woman I took to be Spike's assistant for the event, said he was done. For a moment, I thought I would give up. But my friend wouldn't hear of it, and pushed me to the front. With security eying me, I asked if Spike could spare one second more. He turned away and began walking to the other end of the stage. I shouted: "I know Leander!" He was Spike's assistant editor on numerous films. "He's your teacher?" Spike asked. I told him he once was but I had left the school and moved to L.A. Spike smirked and agreed to watch the film, and I left Claremont so filled with optimism I could hardly stand myself.
I followed up with 40 Acres and they assured me Spike would watch the film. Weeks passed and I never heard anything. I sent letters and continued to call. I gave up and figured it wasn't meant to be. I was crushed. Growing up, Spike had been the pinnacle for me and my friends—he was what we aspired to. Sure, we looked to other filmmakers, Julie Dash, John Singleton, and Oscar Micheaux. Yet it was Spike who had a level of cool that we just connected to. He was apart of a movement, the Brooklyn Boehm, and we wanted so desperately to be apart of something like that. I had told myself, if I could just get the film to Spike, he would see our genius and help us reach our goals. Of course, that was the fantasy of a 19-year-old. That experience, that incredible letdown, taught me that there isn't going to be just one defining letdown—there will be many. And reaching success as a filmmaker isn't a sprint, but it's a marathon. I have no idea if Spike ever watched the film and honestly it doesn't matter if he did or didn't. The truth is I wasn't ready for the opportunity it would have brought at the time. I needed to grow and mature as a writer and filmmaker.
These days I do more writing than filmmaking. Having written a successful crime novel, I enjoy writing more than being behind the camera. But it's still in my soul and I've directed a few documentaries here and there. If anything, I've learned to take my time, to make my art and be concerned with only that. In the end, Hollywood rarely answers when you knock on its door. Instead, you want Hollywood to come knocking on yours. It just takes a little time and patience.

"Growing up, Spike had been the pinnacle for me and my friendsâhe was what we aspired to. Sure, we looked to other filmmakers, Julie Dash, John Singleton, and Oscar Micheaux. Yet it was Spike who had a level of cool that we just connected to. He was apart of a movement, the Brooklyn Boehm, and we wanted so desperately to be apart of something like that." This right here is the way of thinking that we have to change; idolizing certain black artists, simply because they're black, and because we think they're "cool". Spike Lee is a notorious asshole. But still, even after reading how he obnoxiously smirked at an eager young admirer in Aaron P. Clark, so many of us will still say "we need more Spike, and less this, less that." The lesson in what Clark has shared with us here is that it's time to move on. It's time to support the next wave of filmmakers who have important stories to tell; even support the filmmakers who just want to entertain us, with no underlying message. Like S&A's Jasmin wrote about today, it's OK to "find the new black". It's OK to like Tyler Perry's work. It's OK to like Dee Rees work. And it's OK to not like them either. But we have to give ourselves a chance to find out if we like it. Let go of the old, and embrace the new.

Wow, I am sorry he didn't give you the time to at least talk with you, hear you out, cause you never ever know where the next great story will come from. But we build him up to be so big, so beyond reproach, I love his films but sorry he is not the end all be all of film making, he has a niche, a nice one but a niche still the same, you have your merits just as much as he, I am willing to bet another film maker would would have stopped and giving real time, I am willing to be some one like Jim Jarmusch would have said "Hey man, do have a moment can we stop some where for coffee" I just hate when I hear stuff like this cause his due came from Black folk and as we can all see white Hollywood could care less about him. I know Ava Duvernay would have stopped and made plans for a longer meeting. Keep on doing you and keeping on-Spike ain't all that!!!!

Adam Scott Thompson | March 26, 2012 12:57 PM
I think we filmmakers and creatives -- especially those of color -- have to remind ourselves more than others that life is not a movie. There isn't going to be that third-act moment when somebody sees you for what you think you are and crowns you -- happy ending! Real success happens differently. It takes hard work, thick skin, more than a bit of luck and, of course, patience.

I disagree with the recent change to Nether Tempest, specifically "Nether Tempest no longer strikes targets the Mage is not already in combat with." Part of that ability is knowing when to use it and when not to specifically regarding pulling targets and not generating threat and agro from others. If this is the model you guys want might as well move to make LB and FB explosion effect no longer strikes targets the Mage is not already in combat with too. It feels like you guys are taking a good raw spell and putting training wheels on it.
But what it ultimately means in a world PvE scenario you must engage all targets first before casting NT on them to avoid wasting NT ticks on a target while you spent time flagging other targets for combat rather then relying on the fact NT will immediately attack any target within its effective range regardless of status it has with that player. In fact that is one of the things that made NT so good was its ability to start inflicting immediate damage to surrounding targets (unlike Frost Bomb and Living Bomb), however now relationship has changed in light of this new hotfix. My suggestion would be to change it to ignore critters only like flame orb did back in cata but keep its effectiveness to all targets within the 10 yard range regardless of combat status we so aren't forced to do maintenance before we do effective damage.

NT is different from the other two in that it begins dealing damage to nearby targets immediately. With LB or FB, you could place them on the target and still have time to pull it away from neutral mobs. NT doesn't work that way, which made it markedly inferior for questing.
There was also a weird bug whereby when NT hit a critter, and killed it, the secondary projectiles would sometimes start hitting the caster, which can be a pretty serious problem. This may had been the quickest way to resolve that problem, at least temporarily.

It's a nice questing QOL change. Hopefully starfall can get the same treatment at some point.
Hasn't Starfall gotten this fix at least three times in the last few expansions and it never works?

I wish my Barrage got this kind of treatment.
As is now it's a pull everything in sight button.
90 Human Rogue
well some times mages were hitting that button with their nose while rolling their face across the keyboard so it had to be fixed

Considering you obviously hate Mages, the smart thing to do would NOT be shaking your fist at a change that might encourage some to try something other then Frost Bomb.

Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
The whole idea that women can't play video games is so stupid because seriously what is it about using a controller to move a character around that is so hard that a woman cannot do it please explain this entire concept to me
So, they couldn't kill off a perverted pedophile for the fans (but it would've given Aria a decent storyline), but they can kill off one of the greatest anti-heroes of all time? Fuck you, Marlene.
I loved Mona. She was the greatest character on the show, but you killed her off. Fuck you.
mona's death actually meant something in the show; she figured out who A was, she got to be A for two seasons, and she'd gotten a sorta redemption storyline when all was said and done. her character got tremendous character growth. but she was always fated to die because she died in the books. once she wasn't A any longer, her purpose to the show became infinitely diminished — especially after S3. and there were plenty of times when the show hinted that mona was gonna die, so it was inevitable. but they actually made us care about her, so her death had an impact.
what the fuck would it have accomplished to have killed off ezra? nothing. we would have had to sit through S5b, S6, and S7 with aria pining over her ~one true love~. it wouldn't have given aria any character development, because the writers have never given aria character development. and ezra's never been useful or integral to the plot in the way mona has been. his death would have meant nothing because he is a worthless character. it would have been a waste of time. ezra was irrelevant in the books, in the show, and his death would have been the most irrelevant thing ever. you think they'd give a grieving aria the same storyline as they gave emily after maya died? fuck no. aria wouldn't be allowed to move on, ever, and would be reduced to a simpering mess. look at how they've handled her killing shana.
tl;dr: mona's death meant something, it was relevant to the show like mona always was. ezra's death would be stupid and pointless, and we already get enough of that character as it is
Alison smiling at the news that Mona was murdered?
"Don't judge her! Ali is such a layered character! She's just misunderstood!!1!! She's only trying to protect herself!!! She's vulnerable right now!"
