2014 Mahindra Scorpio Facelift Spied Testing Again
- Order Reprints
- Text Size
By greeshma m | March 15, 2014 12:07 AM EST
Mahindra & Mahindra's 2014 Scorpio facelift has been spied testing in India again.
2014 Mahindra Scorpio facelift
The upcoming SUV has already made numerous appearances on the web, through spied images and leaked specifications. Now, the latest leak consists of images of the test mule of the Scorpio facelift, which was caught testing in Chennai. Indian Autos Blog has the photos.
Though the images do not reveal much details of the SUV, reports suggest that the upcoming Scorpio will boast changes both inside and outside. Under the hood, the Scorpio facelift is expected to pack the same 2.2 liter four cylinder turbocharged mHawk diesel engine, which powers the current model. The engine is likely to offer a power of 120 bhp and peak torque of 290 Nm.
The vehicle is likely to parade a new set of headlamps, front grille, a revised front bumper and revamped tail lamps on the exterior. As far the interior is concerned, the all new Scorpio appears to be inspired from the XUV 500.
Going by the rumours, the new Scorpio might also get 6-speed automatic transmission for improved performance. Though the company has not revealed the launch date and the pricing details of the SUV, the repeated sighting of the vehicle on the Indian roads suggest that the launch will happen soon.
The company is also rumoured to launch the automatic gearbox variant of its iconic sports utility vehicle XUV500 by mid-2015. Recently, Mahindra XUV500 crossed a milestone 75,000 units sales since its launch in 2011. Unveiled in September 2011, across five Indian cities, the cheetah-inspired XUV500 drew massive attention due to its stylish frame and state-of-the-art technologies.
In February, Mahindra & Mahindra slashed the prices of its passenger vehicle portfolio, ranging from ₹13,000 to ₹49, 000, following the excise duty reduction announced in the interim budget 2014-15.

Youtube Description:
The process of cording and weaving hanji (Korean handmade paper) by a master weaver, Na Seo Hwan. He is a 3rd-generation master who learned from his father, who learned from his grandfather. He has also developed a more effective and efficient way of cording paper, which is different from the way most paper weavers work. This ancient paper craft, known formally as noyeokgae, still exists in Korea today but the intense labor, time, and strength required for it means that very few masters remain, and even fewer serious disciples.
YouTube Description:
Hanji, Korean paper, has a long but often overlooked tradition. This high-quality paper is made from the inner bark of the dak (mulberry) tree, in the countryside where the water supply is clean and abundant. There are many, many stages of papermaking. This video was shot on August 6, 2008 on a site visit to a traditional papermaker who supplies FIDES International with conservation-grade hanji. He has been making paper since he was a teenager, and his is the only surviving mill in a rural village where papermaking used to be plentiful.

The Nationals asked the Dbacks about Dan Haren, Edwin Jackson
Jul 1, 2010, 10:47 AM EST
MLB.com's Bill Ladson reports that the Nats, despite the fact that they're sinking like a stone in the NL East, have inquired about the Arizona Diamondbacks' Dan Haren and Edwin Jackson. A lot of time in the article is spent wondering if this means the Nats are buyers or sellers (in light of the Adam Dunn rumors) and asking just what the hell are they're doing. So what are they doing?
Seems to me that being interested in either Jackson or Haren isn't a matter of buying or selling as we usually discuss it in the "what does it mean for the current season" sense of the term. Just seems like a way to build for the future. Haren is signed through 2012 with a club option for 2013. Jackson is signed through the end of 2011. In short, picking up either of these guys would be a play for 2011 and possibly beyond, not a play for some quixotic stab at getting back in the wild card race.
Sure, getting either of these guys would be an expensive way to build, but the Nats efforts to make such a move in the offseason (see, Marquis, Jason) didn't work out so well, so why not treat this summer as a defacto free agent season, give the Dbacks the salary relief they want and maybe a prospect or two, and acquire a respectable arm to accompany Mr. Strasburg for the next couple of seasons?
If the team is willing to spend some money now — and it seems that they are — making such a move now seems a better bet than getting involved in the great musical chairs game they always seem to lose during the hot stove season.

Hey craig…speaking of the nationals…what is the deal with Chien Ming Wang? i know hes hurt but did his name just drop off the face of the Earth?

Originally written on Pro Sports Daily | Last updated 11/18/14
MINNEAPOLIS -- The Houston Rockets proved this month that they can win games with loads of points and an up-and-down pace. On Wednesday night, Houston proved it can win a half-court game as well. James Harden made sure of that. Harden scored 17 of his game-high 30 points in the fourth quarter as the Rockets rallied for an 87-84 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves at Target Center. Minnesota led 76-70 midway through the fourth quarter, but Harden took over from there. Harden, who was acquired from Oklahoma City just prior to the regular season 15 of Houston's final 17 points against the Timberwolves. His drive to the basket with 37 seconds to play put the Rockets ahead for good, 85-84. After Houston's Carlos Delfino stripped Minnesota's J.J. Barea, Harden again drove to the basket, scored and stretched the lead to four. The victory was Houston's fifth in a row and sixth in seven games. It also allowed the Rockets to win both halves of a road/road back-to-b...

I've been staying in hotels in Cheyenne and Casper lately, and it's really nice to find some quality for a change. Our only snag was at check-in, where the magnetized reader malfunction twice. I received an apology from the owner/manager, which I had to appreciate; he reported the issue has been addressed. Staff was pleasant and helpful, especially the breakfast manager.
The room and bath were large, with good heavy curtains and lots of lighting. There was easy access to electrical outlets, and the bed was excellent.
The hotel itself has easy access onto I-80 and I-25.

'It's always great when you can kill off some main characters': Peter Jackson promises bloodbath in final Hobbit film... as Cate Blanchett is an elvish delight at Comic-Con
The first couple of films had been criticised for their slow pace.
But Peter Jackson has promised things will speed up significantly in an end of series bloodbath in The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies.
Speaking at Comic-Con in San Diego on Saturday, he vowed several main characters would come to unfortunate ends in the climax to what has been a distinctly underwhelming return to Middle Earth.
Smiling assassin: The Hobbit director promised some of his stars will be killed off in the final installment of the series
After fans were shown a thrilling preview trailer which gave a glimpse of the epic battle, he revealed: 'It's always great when you can kill off some main characters.
'You have the chance to do something powerful and emotional. We do get to kill a few of them this time around.
'It's not as comical as the first Hobbit movie. It's getting closer to the tone of Lord of the Rings.'
A panel discussion was moderated by famously geeky funnyman Stephen Colbert, who dressed as a lake master from Middle Earth for the event.
Thrilled: Fans were lapping up the tidbits Hobbit director Peter was dishing out at Comic Con on Saturday
Stealing the show: Orlando Bloom was just one of the stars left in the shade by evergreen Cate Blanchett
Among the cast members on stage, were Benedict Cumberbatch, Elijah Wood, Orlando Bloom and Andy Serkis, though ironically The Hobbit himself Martin Freeman was absent.
However Cate Blanchett, 44, managed to take people's minds off this by making a head-turning appearance, looking effortlessly elegant in a white and pink dress.
Talking about reprising her role as elf queen Galadriel, the Aussie beauty said: 'I was just grateful to get in this one. I thought my time was over in Middle Earth.'
Pewter then gave another exicting insight, adding: 'we do get to see Galadriel lose it a little in this movie. She gets to kick Sauron's a*** a little bit.'
Benedict, who plays voices the dragon Smaug plays and plays the Dark Lord himself in the guise of the Necromancer, was also excited by the contrasts in his characters.
She looks elf-y: The Aussie beauty, who is 45, looked fabulous and graceful at the event
Four star cameo: But Cate still effortlessly outshone hotpant wearing young rival Evangeline Lilly
Entranced: Benedict Cumberbatch was spellbound as the fragrant beauty shared some pearls of wisdom
Sticking her oar in: Rival elf Evangeline was not to be outdone, with Orlando smiling indulgently as she spoke
Photo op! Benedict Cumberbatch wrapped an arm around his co-star Evangeline Lilly as they attended Comic-Con
He said: 'One is made of something vulnerable and one seems to be born out of everything that's evil and difficult to pin down and kill.'
Planet Of The Apes star Andy Serkis also insisted his role as Gollum in the franchise 'basically changed the course of my life with such magnitude.'
The 6,500 people hall was crammed to capacity by excited geeks, most of whom had camped out overnight to get in.
They were shown a hilarious 10-minute blooper reel of actors on Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit messing up their lines and fooling around on set.
After that delight, they were treated to the thrilling trailer, which showed what they can expect when the movie debuts at theatres on December 17.
Happy: Cate Blanchett shared a smile with her Hobbit co-star Orlando Bloom
All in now! (L to R) Benedict, Evangeline, Cate, Orlando, Luke Evans, and Lee Pace huddled together for a snap
Panel beater: Fantasy loving funnyman Stephen Colbert put the stars to shame by dressing up for his turn as adjudicator
All the fun of the Serkis: But Hobbits Andy and Elijah Wood charmed the audience with their clowning antics

Province slower than most in deficit-slaying schedule
Manitoba will take longer to balance its books than any other province save for Ontario, if current projections hold true.
A survey of the fiscal intentions of Canada's 10 provincial governments reveals most plan to stop running deficits at least two years earlier than Manitoba.
Premier Greg Selinger announced a revised schedule for balancing the books this week. The government is now shooting for 2016-17, instead of 2014-15, as previously promised. The old target placed Manitoba with the rest of the pack. The new one puts it near the rear -- although there is skepticism whether some of the other provinces will meet their own balanced-budget targets.
Manitoba Progressive Conservative deputy finance critic Reg Helwer said the province's ranking and its delayed return to a balanced budget sends the wrong signal to business. "It shows that this government can't manage," he said.
In delaying the return to surplus budgets, Selinger said Manitoba's finances, such as those in Ottawa and in other Canadian provinces, are being affected by a "fitful and uncertain" global economic recovery. Manitoba is also facing greater spending pressures in areas such as family services and justice, he said, and it is committed to avoiding cuts to key services such as health and education.
Federal Finance Minister Jim Flaherty warned in mid-November the feds might not be able to balance their books until 2016-17, a year later than promised. Later the same month, he backtracked, saying Ottawa might be able to meet its original target after all.
Some provinces have not updated their deficit-slaying projections for some time.
At least one, Nova Scotia, recently gave itself some wiggle room. Two months ago, NDP Premier Darrell Dexter speculated that an unexpected change in the size of federal transfer payments could push his province off its 2013-14 target date.
Meanwhile, New Brunswick's reigning Conservatives, who promised during the 2010 election to balance the province's books by the end of their mandate, have witnessed a $183-million deficit projected in March has now swollen to $356 million for the current year.
And there is also some skepticism about whether Christy Clark's Liberals can get British Columbia's books in the black by next year, as promised.
Ontario, which projects a $14.4-billion deficit in the current fiscal year, plans to balance its books in 2017-18.
John McCallum, a University of Manitoba economist, said Manitoba's ranking wouldn't matter much if it were mid-pack among provinces. "But when there are 10 provinces and you are last or second-last, that's what gets headlines."
The average Manitoban isn't likely to spend "more than a micro-second" contemplating the implications of a two-year delay in balancing the province's books, McCallum said. But job-creating entrepreneurs may worry that a province that is so far away from balancing its books may raise taxes.

Carpet Recycling UK says more than 6,000 metric tons of obsolete carpet will be diverted from landfills in 2012.
Carpet Recycling UK (CRUK), which is managed by the U.K.-based resource recovery firm Axion Consulting, has reported that more than 6,000 metric tons of end-of-life carpet will be diverted from landfills in 2012 by its member companies.
CRUK, which is an industry-backed association for companies recycling and reusing carpet, says in a news release that of the 6,049 metric tons collected, 5,241 metric tons were recycled and 808 metric tons were diverted for energy recovery purposes.
"This is a fantastic achievement and testament to the supreme efforts made by our U.K.-based manufacturers in diverting materials from UK landfill sites, with the obvious benefits in resource recovery and reduced environmental impact," says Laurance Bird, director of CRUK.
"This illustrates that new outlets and innovative end uses for recycled carpet waste are developing all the time. There is a lot of entrepreneurial spirit willing to turn waste carpet into a new raw material resource," he adds.
CRUK estimates that around 400,000 metric tons of end-of-life carpet is landfilled in the U.K. each year.

In January 2013, the Group-owned CMA CGM fleet was rewarded by state ports (Port State Control), the highest score for its fleet in recognition of the fleet's compliance with international regulations regarding safety at sea, technical / regulatory compliance and pollution prevention.
For this ranking, port national authorities verify the state of vessels, the level of maintenance, the quality of the crew, procedures in place for the management of safety and pollution.
Since 2010, vessels are controlled by a rating implemented by the "Paris Memorandum of Understanding", one of the strictest in the world. In case of poor performance, vessels and/or companies are subject to stricter and more frequent controls that can lead to detentions and bans.
"The CMA CGM Group places the health, security and safety of its crews, employees, transported goods and vessels at the forefront of its priorities. The recognition of this performance by the authorities rewards the measures implemented by the Group to ensure safety on board and demonstrates the level of excellence of CMA CGM's vessels and teams" says Farid Salem, CMA CGM Group Executive Officer.

Recent changes to feature-requestshttp://sourceforge.net/p/saga-gis/feature-requests/2014-11-19T10:58:57Z#46 Custom geoprocessing menu 2014-11-19T10:58:57Z2014-11-19T10:58:57Zmurray brownhttp://sourceforge.net/u/murraybrown4/http://sourceforge.netf244af34c2f94fd8dd44dd687a6c9f248d36b5a6

I completely agree with this idea. But the set of choices should be named, e.g. MURRAY3, MURRAY4, for moving between usage situations. Also, there should always be a DEFAULT choice that returns the user to 100% of the tools, i.e. the original complete set.

Custom geoprocessing menu 2014-11-18T21:37:30Z2014-11-18T21:37:30ZRohan Fisherhttp://sourceforge.net/u/cycadmedia/http://sourceforge.netde2909129192ec74a6ecdea1e1139b8d9608724d

It would be very useful to be able to create a custom geoprocessing menu that includes only favorite or most used modules either under the current geoprocessing drop-down or as a new drop-down menu (favorites). The great thing about SAGA is the fantastic range of geoprocessing tools however most users most of the time are probably only using 5-10 regularly. Allowing easy access to those would speed up work flows and simplify teaching others. I have found new users can find the current modules menu system a bit intimidating.

Hi Friends of SAGA!

I have a minor request regarding the labelling options for features. The boundary effect is really useful to highlight labels, but the size of the effect can only be controlled by an attribute. Control the frame size by an number 1,2,3... would be great!

Cheers,

Pascal

Hi Rohan,

yes, I had a look and thanks for the information. Sorry that I didn't reply earlier, but I'm quite busy at the moment. Olaf has already implemented some features, others have still to be done. I'm meeting Olaf this week at the AGIT conference and I think we will find some time to discuss this further. So I am out of office for the rest of the week, but you can contact me via the sourceforge mail and then we can share private email for further contact.

Best regards,
 Volker

Hi,

I can see some things we could do to facilitate the process, but some of the tasks seem to be quite special (having a (very) quick look at the screen casts). Could you please comment on the following questions:

why is the projection UTM North so that the datasets have to be re-projected to UTM South? This seems to be something quite special which couldn't be inferred from the data alone and wouldn't allow a generic solution for importing and creating a RGB overlay by a meta-module.

about the histogram stretch: do you expect this to be done only once for each band or do you expect that the stretch is applied each time the viewable map extent changes? From the video it seems like the stretch is only performed once. And, do the values 1-99% refer to the percentiles?

In case we can rule out these things I think we could provide some development capacities for a donation to the project / SAGA User Group Association (-:

I am wondering if the SAGA development team is available prioritise work on some additional functionality for SAGA as a consultancy. I work at a small university in Northern Australia providing satellite derived fire information to land managers. I have developed some training material to allow them to open and visualize burnt areas using Landsat 8. (http://www.screencast.com/users/RohanIndo/playlists/SAGA%20FIRE)

However we are keen to simplify this process through automating a couple of steps, ie (1) importing landsat 8 (into WGS) and creating a RGB (B4, B5, B10) overlay display and (2) allowing a simple (right click) 1-99% histogram stretch based on view window.

I am confidant I could source some funds to support the development of this functionality if there was someone in your team available to look at it.

Also FYI I am placing a link to all the SAGA training material I am developing here: http://rohanfisher.wordpress.com/open-source-geo-spatial/

Please consider writing and installing an AppData file with the application description and some screenshots, else SAGA GIS looks really bad in the GNOME and KDE Software Centers. We'd love to showcase more applications, but without the extra data file we can't. See http://people.freedesktop.org/~hughsient/appdata/ for details; thanks!

Convenient, Decent HotelPosted Aug 28, 2014
Pros: Location, pool, breakfast, size of room.
Cons: Decor, TV needs updating. Excercise room totally out of commission.
Location: Wings & Waves, Evergreen Air Museum (Spruce Goose), downtown McMinnville, wineries, shopping.
Convenient, decent hotel near Wings & Waves. Has an indoor pool, which was nice for the kids. Hotel seems a little old, pool was a little dated, decor was tired and TV didn't have an HDMI plug. But they did have a nice free breakfast, our room was quite large (two queens and a couch), and the air conditioner worked great (key during a time when outside was 90-95 degrees). Overall, a decent hotel and a decent value.

Pros: Bed was very comfortable
Cons: Breakfast
Location: Great location, close to waterpark and air museum
Room was nice and clean. Breakfast was miserable, 20 minutes without eggs of sausage (this is not a difficult thing to plan) and employees did not care much. A lot of talk about previous nights party they attended.

Easily found, next to Evergreen Air MuseumPosted Aug 14, 2014
Pros: Easy to find, comfortable beds, decent hot breakfast in the a.m.
Cons: The hot breakfast could be "hot" -- everything was lukewarm in those buffet containers. But I liked the hard-boiled eggs!
Location: Evergreen Air Museum is right next door, along with the water park. McMinnville nearby and very charming. Right in Yamhill County wine country!
Just needed an overnight on way to PDX and this was a wonderful hotel -- easy to find, clean, comfortable and they had a bottle of Widmer Hefe beer chilling in the refrigerator! I would definitely stay here again and spend some time exploring McMinnville. Staff was pleasant and very efficient.

Tallman, born in Hawaii, has interest in SMU because he is fond of Head Coach June Jones.
"I like the fact that they have Coach June Jones. He is a proven winner and even though they didn't have the best season last year, I'm sure Coach Jones can turn things around and do much of the things he did at Hawaii."
SMU joins New Hampshire and Virginia as the schools to offer. But Utah, Iowa, and Miami seem to be on the verge.
He will visit SMU sometime in July.

Like many of you, I've been using Spaghnum peat (the decaying remains of Sphagnum moss) for seed starting for many years. Perhaps you are also like me in that I had never really given it a second thought because it is what I grew up with, not to mention it is so commonly used in blend-your-own and prepackaged seed starting mixes. But about a year ago, I started to read up a little more on peat, and discovered that there are some real concerns over the sustainability of horticultural peat use. This set in motion my desire to try coconut coir (the ground hulls of coconuts) as a more sustainable alternative to peat.
The Sustainability Debate
Here's the deal with peat: It is mined from a bog, meaning the upper, still-living layers of moss are removed, the peat is harvested, and the bog is then "restored" by returning the living layer that was removed. There are a number of environmental concerns with this practice (the mining process severely disrupts the bog's delicate ecosystem, and it also releases large amounts of carbon dioxide that are otherwise trapped, or "fixed," within the bog), but the crux of the sustainability debate is that even with the best restoration efforts and controlling the pace at which peat is mined, it will still take hundreds of years for the bog to regenerate peat that has been mined. So while technically sustainable, "hundreds of years" is a long time.
Coir, on the other hand, is a byproduct of processing coconuts that are harvest for food, oil, etc. In other words, it is already being produced to satisfy the world's appetite for coconut and using it for horticultural purposes keeps it out of the waste stream. It is produced in Indonesia and in parts of Mexico and South America and it is not without its own environmental impacts, but because coconut trees produce season after season, it is a more sustainable alternative.
Of course there are other factors to consider as well. Most of our Sphagnum peat comes from Canada, which is much more local than Indonesia, but peat is prepared and packaged to maintain a slight moisture content (otherwise it is nearly impossible to rehydrate), which means it is heavier and bulkier to transport (by truck, usually) than coir, which can be completely dehydrated and compressed to a fifth of its original volume for lighter and larger shipments (by sea, usually). There are jobs, and local economies to consider, and there is also availability (last year I couldn't find coir locally at all).
As is often the case when trying to be as "green" as possible, there are often few truly perfect solutions, and you'll have to weigh the options for yourself to determine which arguments are more compelling. Fortunately, there is a lot of interesting and lively debate on this subject to help you make an informed decision.
Using Coir for Seed Starting
Coir can be used in the exact same way peat is used in seed starting. There are coir pellets and coir pots that you can purchase and fill with the planting medium of your choice. Coir dust can also be used as either a component of a seed starting mix or on its own as a planting medium.
As I have already mentioned, coir can be completely dehydrated and compressed to about a fifth its original volume. These bricks of coir dust must be rehydrated and allowed to expand prior to use. Some coir bricks come with a perforated plastic bag for expansion, but I found them to be messy and less effective than simply placing the brick in a bucket or sink. Water is then added until it is fully expanded. It only takes a mater of minutes if you are using warm water (about 10 minutes if you are using cold water). It has a cell structure that allows for impressive moisture retention. When expanded, coir has a rich, soil-like quality that feels substantial, yet is still soft, fine-textured and light.
If you are using it as a component in your own seed starting mix, the moisture it retains is just the perfect amount to make your seed starting mix easy to work with and keep dust to a minimum. It can also be used as a soil amendment in your garden beds and container gardens. Unused coir can be stored for future use.
Comparing Coir and Peat
Let's break it down and take a look at how coir compares to peat in seed starting practice:
- Rich in potassium and a number of micro nutrients
- Neutral pH
- Holds moisture incredibly well; easy to re-wet when it dries out
- Can sometimes contain higher salt concentrations (commercially available coir has been greatly improved in this regard)
- Availability may be limited locally
- Not a source of nutrients
- Acidic pH
- More difficult to wet; retains less moisture
- Can actually restrict germination of some seeds (peppers, in particular)
- Readily available; commonly used
While I couldn't find it locally last year, this year my usual garden center carried a good stock of coir bricks, as well as a variety of different sized pots and starter pellets. In fact, the coir pots were the only plantable pots on the shelves this year. I am encouraged by this trend and hope that it means coir products will become even more accessible in the future. Cost-wise, the coir pots were pretty much right in line with their peat counterparts, but the bricks of coir dust ended up being about a dollar or two more expensive than a comparable quantity of peat.
My initial reaction to using coir in my seed starting this year is extremely positive. I will have a better sense as the season goes on, but based on my initial experience, I am pretty much sold on using coir as an alternative to peat. I feel better knowing that I'm making a more sustainable choice, but even more so, I truly believe that coir is a superior product for the reasons I've outlined above.
A Third Option
I would be remiss if I did not mention that there is another option in the sustainability debate. If you are not thrilled with the environmental impacts of either coir or peat, you could opt to start your seeds without the use of either product. Personally, I find the qualities they bring to a seed starting medium to be quite helpful in successful seed starting, but they are not essential. Locally sourced compost can add some of the same qualities to your seed starting mix as peat and coir. If you forego the use of a lighter material, just be sure to watch for signs of compaction or seedling stress, which might require more frequent potting up of your seedlings.
What are your thoughts on sustainability and seed starting? I'd love to hear from you and find out what factors you weigh when selecting materials to use for seed starting and other gardening activities.
