The airplane was on a night visual flight rules cross-country flight to an uncontrolled airport. The pilot was performing a straight-in approach with a 10- to 11-knot direct crosswind; after touching down the airplane began to veer toward the runway edge. The pilot attempted a go-around; however, during the attempt, the airplane experienced an aerodynamic stall and its left wing struck the ground just off the runway's edge. The airplane tumbled, impacting the ground and coming to rest inverted in the adjacent grass field. A surviving passenger said that the touchdown was very rough and that he moved in the airplane from side to side. A postaccident examination of the airplane showed no preimpact anomalies with the airplane.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be:

The Los Angeles City Council on Tuesday, Jan. 15, approved a $1.5 million settlement to openly gay LAPD Sgt. Ronald Crump, according to the L.A. Daily News. In fact, this was a compromise whereby the city finally stops fighting Crump—but, in exchange, he has to resign from the LAPD.
In 2009, after going through the proper complaint procedure, Crump filed a civil lawsuit against the city and the LAPD alleging discrimination, harassment and retaliation by his LAPD supervisors. The city could have addressed the issues and settled then but decided to go to trial. After a 17-day trial in May 2011, the jury unanimously sided with Crump and awarded him over $1.5 million dollars. But the LAPD and city attorney balked, alleging Crump committed misconduct (an allegation later apparently dropped after it was noted that could look like retaliation) and announcing they would appeal—partially, a source told Frontiers at the time, because Crump demanded a subsequent transfer and other benefits outside the judgment. Crump disputed that characterization, saying he asked for a transfer to "make the wrong things right" and so he could salvage his career. The city's decision not to appeal means Crump gets the roughly $1,560,000 award, a sizable chunk of which will go to taxes and to pay his lawyer.
The Daily News reported that Councilmember Dennis Zine, who is running for City Controller, and Councilmember and former LAPD Chief Bernard Parks were the two opposing votes to the nine votes in favor of settling. "This sends the wrong message to the department and the public," Zine told the News. "I don't think this is an appropriate expenditure just for some comments made to him."
But what Zine describes almost casually as "some comments" made by Crump's bosses in Media Relations are part of a larger problem Crump's case at first exposed, then saw buried. Consider this L.A. Times story from Oct. 6, 2011, about a jury award of $2.5 million to three LAPD detectives who filed suit alleging gender discrimination and retaliation by supervisors. The Times reported:
The verdict, delivered Friday after only a few hours of deliberation, is the latest in a long string of costly lawsuits brought by LAPD officers against fellow cops and supervisors for retaliation, harassment and other workplace abuses.
Police Chief Charlie Beck has identified the internal strife — and the Los Angeles Police Department's inability to address it quickly — as one of the most pressing issues facing the agency. The recent case is likely to increase pressure on Beck to follow through quickly on reforms he said were intended to bring the issue under control.
A recent Los Angeles Times investigation found that from 2005 to 2010, LAPD officers sued the department more than 250 times and that the city had paid settlements or verdicts totaling more than $18 million in about 45 of those cases. Because taxpayer money is used to cover the payouts, such lawsuits have come under increasing scrutiny as the city's financial problems persist.
And yet, the city elected to delay for eight months, threaten to go back to court with an expensive appeal in Crump's case. And what, exactly, was that case? Here's an extended excerpt from the Frontiers story on May 12, 2011, that cites the lawsuit Crump filed:
Openly gay Sgt. Ronald Crump is suing the city of Los Angeles, claiming that his boss in Media Relations, Lt. John Romero, created a hostile work environment for gay and lesbian officers. His civil suit outlines a series of incidents over six months in which Crump claims he was regularly harassed and humiliated. For instance, Crump claims in his lawsuit that Romero said, "I was a religion major at Liberty University—Jerry Falwell would roll over in his grave if he knew I hired you." The suit notes that Fawell founded the conservative religious university—but doesn't mention that Falwell's Moral Majority helped launch the anti-gay movement in 1977 with Anita Bryant.
Crump claims that Romero subjected him to "nearly constant harassment on account of his sexual orientation, including introducing Crump to new co-workers as 'the new Ruby [Crump's predecessor]—the only difference is that he doesn't wear heels.'" When Crump told Romero that he didn't appreciate being referred to as the "new Ruby," he says Romero told him to "get over it" and "chuckled as he walked away."
The lawsuit also details comments Romero allegedly made about other gay LAPD employees, calling one a "quirky, effeminate guy," and saying about another, "She's a militant, 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' activist lesbian," among other similar comments.
The lawsuit also reports how in January 2009, a lesbian co-worker "remarked that Lt. Romero made the office environment stressful and that she saw Romero treating Plaintiff and others poorly." That lesbian left the media relations department one month later, which was closely followed by an inquiry into the concerns about the hostile work environment from then-Assistant Chief McDonnell's office. McDonnell had an extraordinarily good relationship with the LGBT community.
Crump did a formal exit interview with the departing lesbian and subsequently told Romero that he should be concerned about the hostile work environment. The suit alleges that Romero responded in what Crump perceived to be "career ending terms."
That's when Crump complained to [Media Relations chief Mary] Grady, Romero's boss. After Romero found out about it, the suit alleges that he "screamed at Plaintiff for complaining, and threatened him with making a complaint for 'rumor mongering' and stating 'Don't forget I hired you even though you're gay.'"
After that, the lawsuit says, Romero "increasingly began to treat Plaintiff with hostility," about which the suit provides examples. In April 2009, Crump formally complained about Romero, and things just got worse from there—Crump alleges that Romero threatened to fire him. By late May 2009, Crump was called into a meeting with Grady, Romero and Lt. Pape from McDonnell's office. By the end of the meeting, Crump said he was told, "You will respect John Romero."
Crump met with Bratton in June 2009, then left for a month vacation. Upon his return, he was reassigned to the all-civilian 911 Communications Division and then to Skid Row.
On the stand during the civil trial, KPCC radio's Frank Stoltz reported, "Grady said that Romero's 'aggressive discipline' of Crump was for cause, not for retaliation after he complained, and that she decided to transfer Crump to the Skid Row bicycle detail because the two were not getting along. Grady said that the sergeant did not lose rank or pay in the move from media relations, and that none of the department's actions occurred because he is gay."
None of the published reports about the case or trial indicate what that "cause" for "aggressive discipline" was.
The Daily News truncates all that into this, which makes the whole issue seem slight, as if Crump was a whiner:
[Crump] filed the complaint in 2009 after he was ordered transferred from the media relations section and after he said his supervisor, Lt. John Romero, made derogatory remarks about his sexuality.
Crump worked in the media relations section from December 2008 through July 2009, when he was transferred to Skid Row.
He filed a complaint with the LAPD's Professional Standards Bureau, but no action was taken.
But that's not what the jury in Crump's trial believed:
A jury awarded openly gay LAPD Sgt. Ronald Crump $1.16 million Thursday in his civil case against the city of Los Angeles. Crump claimed job discrimination and retaliation by his LAPD management superiors…..
Ironically, the City Attorney's office spent several costly days putting on witness after witness to besmirch Crump's reputation and credibility – at the same time the LAPD Inspector General Nicole Bershon issued a report finding systemic problems with how the LAPD handles claims of retaliation. Read the document: LAPD retaliation report
On Tuesday, May 17, LAPD senior officials acknowledged the problems to the LA Police Commission, the LA Times reported:
"Responding to a critical report by the department's independent watchdog, senior LAPD officials offered up an unusually candid mea culpa to the police commission, the civilian body that oversees the department.
"We have a lot of work to do in this area," Cmdr. Rick Webb, who oversees day-to-day operations of the LAPD's Internal Affairs Group, conceded to the commission.
LAPD policy forbids officers from retaliating against other officers who report misconduct, take advantage of allotted time off or exercise other rights. Cases of retaliation often involve allegations that officers were unfairly passed over for coveted assignments, given poor work evaluations or harassed with crude behavior.
The report from LAPD Inspector General Nicole Bershon found systemic problems with the way internal affairs investigators look into retaliation claims. Often, the report said, investigators determine that the actions of accused officers do not amount to misconduct.
As a result, the accused officers frequently are not interviewed and sometimes are removed from the investigation altogether, which makes it all but impossible for the department to identify a pattern of misbehavior as a problem employee moves from assignment to assignment, Bershon warned."
The LAPD senior officers told the commission that the problem could in part be attributed to internal affairs handling a high volume of cases, as well as supervisors lacking the training to address and mitigate workplace disputes.
From the Times:
"Small arguments or miscommunications between officers often are not addressed quickly or effectively, allowing them to "fester and create huge, huge problems," Webb said.
"The culture change has to be with the commanding officers, to give them the skills to deal with these situations quickly," Webb said…..
LAPD Chief Charlie Beck acknowledged the need for the department to be better at mitigating problems before they get out of control, saying he is planning to overhaul the way the department handles its "risk management" issues, including lawsuits and other potential liabilities.""
The Times reported that openly gay Police Commissioner Rob Saltzman wasn't buying it: "This is not a new set of issues," he said during the meeting. "We have been more patient than we should have been."
Romero was promoted to Captain after the trial; Grady was eventually fired. Crump is now leaving the LAPD, something he sorely wished he would not have to do. He said this to Frontiers:
A jury of community members proved my truthful allegations and found the City of Los Angeles and LAPD to be guilty and that they discriminated and harassed me based upon my sexual orientation.
Like many, I wished to be judged for my talents, skills, and ability to lead and manage. Don't judge me for my sexual orientation.
I can no longer try to validate my story but move optimistically forward. Their strategic retaliation over the years has caused me – the victor in court – to finally submit to their settlement or face continued court appeals and the continued humiliation and find more strength to resist the machine and army of City Attorneys and Internal Affair Investigators.
I wish to continue a career in Police Management and to strongly advocate for the Freedom to Work organization that is tirelessly working to secure the Employment Non Discrimination Act (ENDA) in over 30 other states that fail to protect sexual orientation discrimination as an equal to age, race, gender, and religion.
For now I will decompress and refresh my life.
I owe many thanks to Freedom to Work and to my dear friends and cops.
I am most indebted to Attorney Greg Smith, candidate for LA City Attorney, and Attorney Portasha Moore for defending my reputation and sharing my story with a judge and jury.

A Stylish Merkin
Poor Lauren Merkin. It must be hard having a surname that's also the name for a pubic wig. Still, no doubt her handbags get some unusual search engine queries! Since metallics are my favourite thing and yesterday I predicted that clutches are big news, it makes sense that I should show you a metallic clutch today. And here's something I learned recently - you know you've been looking at too many designer bags when you see that this bag is $220 and your first thought is 'oh, that's reasonable'.

Samsung has just announced two new mid-range smartphones – the Galaxy Young and the Galaxy Fame, said to be designed for the youth market and all those who are interested in gaming and media.
The Samsung Galaxy Young is a usual budget device similar to the Galaxy Ace series. It comes with a 3.27-inch HVGA (480×320) TFT touchscreen, 1GHz processor, 768MB RAM, and 4GB of internal storage. There's a microSD card slot, too, in case 4 gigs aren't enough for you. The rear camera has a 3MP sensor (there's no front shooter), and the battery has a capacity of 1,300 mAh. As for software, Android 4.1 Jelly Bean comes on board. There will also be two versions of this phone, with dual SIM and simgle SIM capabilities, depending on the market.
The Samsung Galaxy Fame has much in common with the Galaxy Young: its touchscreen is a bit bigger at 3.5 inches, but the resolution is the same. There's a 1GHz processor on board, Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, the same amount of internal memory (4GB, with a microSD card slot), and only 512MB RAM. The battery is also the same 1,300 mAh one. The camera, however, is a bit better – it has a 5MP sensor, just like the one on the Samsung Galaxy Ace. Besides, the Galaxy Fame offers NFC support that is absent on the Galaxy Young.
Nothing is known about the availability of these smartphones or their prices. But we can guess that since they are similar to those Galaxy Ace phones, they will most likely cost something like $300-350 (SIM-free).

Recently, a novel form of nanodiamond exhibiting unusual mechanical properties has been synthesized by high-pressure high-temperature (HPHT) treatment of C60 fullerene, amorphous carbon and diamond powder. In this study, we have characterized the dominant defects in this nanodiamond by a combination of optical absorption, luminescence, Raman, electron spin resonance and elastic recoil detection techniques. Unusually high concentrations ([?]0.4 at.%) of hydrogen and very low concentrations of nitrogen ([?]10[?]5 at.%) have been detected in diamond grown from C60. Although most of hydrogen is shown to originate from inclusions of foreign phases, such as water, significant concentrations ([?]0.01 at.%) of hydrogen were also detected as a point defect in the nanodiamond grains. Observed structural differences between the samples made from various carbonaceous materials are attributed to different behaviour of the starting compounds during HPHT treatment.

* To save the money you spend on batteries for your Palm buy 2 pairs of NiMH rechargeable batteries and charger. Use one pair, while other one recharges, so you will never have to buy batteries again.
* Using NiMH batteries is real money saver, but you have to do a shortcut symbol followed by .7 (dot 7) to recalibrate the voltage meter on the Pilot.

Louise Bourgeois is one of the worlds most respected sculptors. Over a long career she has worked through most of the twentieth centurys avant-garde artistic movements from abstraction to realism, yet has always remained uniquely individual, powerfully inventive, and often at the forefront of contemporary art.
This major survey, in the artists 95th year, provides an unprecedented opportunity to reassess her work, which is characterised by its obsessive subject matter and experimental approach to materials and techniques.
Beginning with her earliest drawings, prints and paintings, the show features over 200 works in materials as diverse as latex, bronze, marble, and mirrors, as well as her most recent works using fabric. Its also another chance to see Bourgeoiss monumental spider sculpture Maman 1999, which was shown in the Turbine Hall when the gallery opened in 2000.
This exhibition explores Bourgeoiss core themes of femininity, sexuality and isolation, and demonstrates that even in her 90s she continues to defy convention.
Exhibition organised by Tate Modern in association with Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris

Hello everyone,
I was wondering if drinking Jamba Juice smoothies were not good for someone who is trying to lose body fat. I have searched the forums but have found nothing specific to what I want to know. I know people say it's loaded with sugar but isn't it natural sugar? At least, when I asked the employee if they added sugar to the natural fruit, they said they don't add sugar to anything. Also, I thought that the sugar from fruits is harmless since it's natural. Just an FYI: I drink the Apples n' Greens Smoothie; It's what I get all the time.

I am new to this forum and website. I've been reading a lot of stickies but I am so confused. I just need a little guidance here and there. Also, my lifestyle is sedentary (I work at a desk job all day), I go to the gym at least 3x/wk. I do lots of cardio and also do the machines for about 3 sets with 10 reps each. I'm 26 and F. I'm also starting to "eat clean". I started juicing and now eat natural things as opposed to before. I've been eating better for about 3 months but only got really strict starting last week. I've lost about 5 lbs total I think, since I started. I used to eat fast food every single day and drink at least 1 soda can a day. I'm hoping that helps. Thanks in advance.

– I know what Jannik Hansen was thinking when he crossed checked the referee prior to puck drop in San Jose.
"I don't think I even realized what I had done or who I had done it to at the time," Hansen said Monday afternoon.
"I saw it (the video footage) after the game last night. I didn't realize it looked that bad."
Hansen says he was jostling with Ryane Clowe and felt that Clowe was trying to get at Alex Burrows before the face-off so he stuck with him. Hansen says he ran out of room quickly as the two drove forward and, since he couldn't stop, put his hands on the back of the nearest person and pushed to create some space. No official on the ice said one word to the Canucks' forward about the incident.
Hansen said it was more of a shove than a cross check and it looked far worse than it actually was. Probably a good thing the zebras felt the same way.
Here's a cracked-out theory. Maybe the officials actually thought Clowe did the shoving and then went on to punish him with 35 penalty minutes.
Speaking of Clowe…
– I know that Clowe had only cooled off a bit by the end of Sunday's game. Clowe went a little snakey in the penalty box after receiving a high sticking penalty and was eventually tossed for his tantrum. As I was waiting outside the Sharks dressing room to interview Patrick Marleau (after his rather pedestrian 1-goal effort) Clowe stormed out not five seconds after the final horn sounded. He still looked in a fighting mood and it was clear he wasn't stopping to talk to anyone. Especially media.
– I know that the Canucks were historically bad in the face-off circle. Here's an email I got from Canucks game producer Greg Shannon at 1:57 a.m. (the man never sleeps) :
The Canucks team face-off percentage Sunday was 32.3 per cent, worst in a regular or post-season game since Dec. 12, 2009 against Minnesota when it was 29.0 per cent. That's a span of 292 games.
It was the 10th worst game for Vancouver since the NHL starting recording this in 2000-2001. That's 1002 games, people.
– I know that Kevin Bieksa thought someone was coming to fight him after he hit Scott Gomez in the 3rd period Sunday night. That's why his gloves were coming off as he was turning around. And what if no one was coming to stand up for Gomez? Bieksa says he figures he was close enough to the bench to jump on without gloves and avoid any sort of discipline from the officials.
"They had given me four minors already so I don't think they would have given me another."
– Finally I know that WASP made one hell of a video in 1985. Thanks VH1 Classics for reminding me of this.

Fashion Week isn't just about watching next season's trends on the runway. Oh no, sipping champagne at an after-party is a compulsary activity for any dedicated FROW-er. Milan Fashion Week is already proving to be one big party as the likes of Cara Delevingne, Kate Moss and Blake Lively have raised a glass to Spring 2014.
Cara Delevingne attended a Fendi Boutique and Exhibition launch on Thursday night, where she wowed in a strapless mini dress with yellow bag and zesty orange shoes. We love the side pony.
Speaking of store launches, Kate Moss attended the opening of Stuart Weitzman's Milan flagship on the same day her 'Boots Are Made For Walking' campaign video landed. Mossy wore a classic Saint Laurent tuxedo with T-bar heels and a sheer striped Saint Laurent blouse underneath with no bra. Oh she does know how to get us talking.
The opening of the 'Beauty In Wonderland' launch had a starry guestlist as Cate Blanchett wore a red and white feathered show-stopper and Blake lively arrived in a black lame jumpsuit with metallic blue and green inserts. Of course Milan Fashion Week isn't Milan Fashion Week without Anna Dello Russo, and the fashion editor made a statement in a baroque-structured lace dress with a pale pink sash at the dinner.
See who is partying at Milan Fashion Week in the gallery above...

Howdy. Howdy. Howwwwwwwww-dee! I hope you all had a better week this week than you did last week and if not, here's to hoping next week is the BEST! You have just landed smack dab in the middle of the 15th installment of Southern Fried Vocab. If you missed last week's phrase, don't you worry your pretty lil' head none. If the Lord's willin' and the creek don't rise, you can click right here and it'll take you right to it.
If you're unfamiliar with the rules, they go a lil' something like this. You will be given a vocabulary word or phrase, a definition and a sentence. You are hereby challenged to go forth and use it in conversation.
Though you may not see a logical place to insert these words into conversation, everything is always better when you cover it in flour and drop it in some hot grease.
This week's phrase is a hit dog will holler.
A hit dog will holler: when a group of folks find themselves in a troublesome situation, more often than not, the troublemaker speaks up first to clear his name
Lil' Frankie and Lil' Johnnie are playing ball in the house after their mother told them to stop. Johnnie throws the ball, knocks over the good vase and it shatters.
Mom to boys from another room: Whodunnit?!
Johnnie: It wasn't me!
Frankie: A hit dog will holler!
*snaps leather belt* Mom: Every time.
Quick Review
If there is a situation where there is trouble and there is more than one person to blame, the person "whodunnit" will be the first to speak up (i.e. lie) to say that it wasn't them. This phrase also works if you are speaking truth in a situation that offends one or more people and they speak up in offense. You've hit a nerve (it hurts) and they holler, much like when a dog is hit by a vehicle. All of his nerves have been hit, so he hollers. That's how you get, a hit dog will holler. The proper response is "every time."

In 1996 I moved from Miami, Florida to Brooklyn, New York to begin pursuing my Master in Photography at N.Y.U. The education that i got came not from the lecture hall but from the streets in my new neighborhood. During the seven years that I lived on the border of Bushwick and Bedford-Stuyvesant I photographed, wrote about and made video recordings of the families on my block. The reporting resulted in a book and web publication entitled Money Power Respect: Pictures of My Neighborhood. In 2002 i bought a house less than a mile away from where the pictures where made, I began other projects but continued to photograph and film the families in Money Power Respect. The years that followed Money Power Respect publication have been critical in the lives of children on the brink of adulthood and for parents who are always dangerously close to the edge.
I now feel that Money Power Respect served only to introduce my neighbors to the larger world and that the real story somehow began after the publication of the book was well underway. I felt a responsibility to document the results of the stories I began to tell in the book and the web has made possible the idea that publications no longer need to be finite. The result of continuing to record the stories over the last four years has been edited into a series of mini movies called Back on The Block.

The Lives of Things collects José Saramago's early experiments with the short story form, attesting to the young novelist's imaginative power and incomparable skill in elaborating the most extravagant fantasies. Combining bitter satire, outrageous parody and Kafkaesque hallucinations, these stories explore the horror and repression that paralyzed Portugal under the Salazar regime and pay tribute to human resilience in the face of injustice and institutionalized tyranny.
Beautifully written and deeply unsettling, The Lives of Things illuminates the development of Saramago's prose and records the genesis of themes that resound throughout his novels.
The Lives of Things shows Saramago's sense of language in full bloom, with winding sentences that interrupt themselves again and again, subdividing a simple statement with qualifiers and tangents that make any notion of "truth" seem like a trick of perspective.
Though clearly shaded by a (perhaps familiar) sense of hopelessness—Thomsen writes of "doomsday scenarios, broken balance sheets, and government debt"—the review alludes to the idea that in Saramago's poetic, winding parallel worlds we find novel ways to frame our own struggles. The stories have a "renewed vibrancy" in our time:

They remind us that when the law fails, a good metaphor can take its place. And so we have vampire squids, hooded sweatshirts worn in solidarity, tents propped up on sticks because the police say they can't be placed on the ground.
The Lives of Things by José Saramago is published today, the 38th anniversary of Portugal's Carnation Revolution. One of the stories, Revenge, is published today in the Morning Star:
The boy was coming from the river. Barefoot, with his trousers rolled up above his knees, his legs covered in mud.
He was wearing a red shirt, open in front where the first hairs of puberty on his chest were beginning to blacken. He had dark hair, damp with the sweat that was trickling down his slender neck. He was bent slightly forward under the weight of the long oars, from which were hanging green strands of water-weeds still dripping. The boat kept swaying in the murky water, and nearby, as if spying, the globulous eyes of a frog suddenly appeared. Then the frog moved suddenly and disappeared. A minute later the surface of the river was smooth and tranquil and shining like the boy's eyes. The exhalation of the mud released slow, flaccid bubbles of gas which were swept away by the current. In the oppressive heat of the afternoon, the tall poplars swayed gently, and, in a flurry, like a flower suddenly blossoming in mid-air, a blue bird flew past, skimming the water. The boy raised his head. On the other side of the river, a girl was watching him without moving. The boy raised his free hand and his entire body traced out some inaudible word. The river flowed slowly...

Good Riddance Flight Printouts !
One of the smarter moves done by the Airport Authority of India is to do away with the need for printed sheet of tickets booked. For years, all of us had to grudgingly bear with this really archaic process. Taking a printout was an additional irritant during the travel rush. I found the lazier way of asking for a print-out from the airline counter until they stated to levy Rs.100 per printout.
If the Railways can accept e-tickets, why can't the Airports? Glad better sense prevailed.
With the new rules, I found the entry to be a breeze. All I had to do was whip out my phone and show the ticket. Surprisingly though, a lot of people still carried printed sheets. Maybe, they aren't aware of the new rules. There wasn't a single board that mentioned the change in rules. But hey, who am I to complain! I'm just for the positive change. My next wish? Do away with the stamping of luggage tags. I'm told that's next in line.
Got a Question for WanderingEarl, Perpetual Traveler and Permanent Nomad?
When I visited TIME's Top 25 blogs, the one that really caught my attention was the WanderingEarl blog. Its the blog of Derek Earl Baron, who is a perpetual traveler. What is that, you ask? Derek started out on a travel vacation 12 years ago and has not stopped ever since. He has covered 83 countries so far. Read his wonderful bio.
I found his profile fascinating enough to shoot him a mail requesting for an interview. He has agreed and now its time to ask him interesting questions. I have a few in my mind but I figured it would be add any questions you may too. As always your questions will be listed down in the list and the best will eventually be forwarded to Earl. You will be duly credited with links to your blog & Facebook profile. You can either leave your question in the comments section below or shoot the question to me at email@example.com
The Tree House Experience
I took my wife and two daughters on a road trip. We set our eyes on Munnar and decided that we would stop at places en-route that caught our interest. We made night halts at Yelagiri and Yercaud.
We didn't pre-book any of the hotel rooms and decided to pick a hotel after we landed at the places. While checking online with very scant connectivity, one particular place caught my eye. In fact, it was one particular type of accommodation that caught my eye…a Tree House. I immediately knew this was it.
I called up the owner, Mr.Gregory Bosen, and inquired about the availability of the Tree House. When he heard that I was bringing along two kids, he was quick to advise me against the tree house as it is perched on a tree 80 feet off the ground. That nailed it! I knew this is the place for us!
We landed up at Glenrock estates, spread over 100 acres of coffee, cardamom and pepper plantations. Mr.Greg relented seeing my perseverance and let us use the tree house.
We had to walk a good 10 minutes downhill into the foresty plantation before we came across this magnificent tree. The first thing that it reminded me of was the Eva tree in Avatar movie. It was massive and earned my complete respect. The tree would easily be over 100 years old.
While I was hoping for a rope ladder or even pegs hit against the trunk, it was a slight let down to see proper steps made out of iron rods that lead to the tree house. A little less adventurous but convenient for my wife and kids.
It was at dusk that we began to realize how lonely and secluded the place was. While there is basis light and water available at the tree house, it can get eerily lonely at night. My kids began to freak out by the sounds of the forest.
I later found out a wonderful wood house on a hill top with a brilliant view in the estate. But more importantly it was closer to the owner's house and the kids felt a lot more comfortable. We shifted over but we will never forget the one hour that we spent on top of the tree house.
Detroit Travelogue : The Experience at Chennai Airport
I'm starting a mini-travelogue documenting my trip to Detroit. In this travelogue, I'll try and capture interesting experiences along the way.
Meeting the Phantom Limb Man :
On the Feb 7th night, I head to the Chennai airport to catch my JetAirways flight. While waiting to check-in at the counter, I was pleasantly surprised to find the famed V.S.Ramachandran standing behind me. I opened up the conversation mentioning that a couple of my friends met him at Landmark book store and he mentioned that he was here for the launch of his new book, The Tell Tale Brain. He spoke about how he had another title but his publishers recommended the new one as his old title sounded too academic. Requested him for a podcast but he politely refused saying he'd rather do it after two weeks. I'll hold him to that.
Where the $*%#& does my flight leave from?
After checking-in, while waiting for boarding the flight, I noticed that the passengers were a bit harried and bugged. I soon realized why. There was no information which gates the flights are departing from. There are 10 gates and no info on which flight is leaving from which gate. And to make it worse there was no information kiosk to ask as well. The only saving grace was that the PA system was clear enough and one had to stay tuned to the announcements to get the results.
Just 1 Internet PC?
There is just one cybercafe from AirTel inside the waiting lounge for passengers waiting to catch their flights. And that solitary cybercafe has just one computer! No WiFi as well. Can you believe this? There must be atleast 500 passengers at any given point of time and just one internet PC! I asked the guy who was manning the AirTel counter why only one, and he shrugged saying, 'Airport authorities have allowed permission for only one computer'! Geez. He then proceeded to say that Airtel is having this couner more for advertising reasons than as a business proposition. Right. What else can they expect to do with 1 PC?!
The Nicest Lady Captain I've Heard.
We had a lady pilot for the Chennai-Brussels flight and the most informative one that I've heard in my life. Most pilots spell out basic information in a robotic way but this lady captain was having a conversation. She must've spoken for a full 5 minutes and in a very friendly and interesting way. She said that the flight was burning 3000 litres of gasoline per hour! She also warned early that the its quite windy in Brussels and to expect a bumpy touchdown. True to her words, the climbdown resembled a DisneyWorld rollercoaster ride.
Movies and Food.
It was a really long flight. In addition to a little bit of sleep, managed to watch two full movies. 'The Town' and 'Life as we know it'. I quite enjoyed the service by Jet Airways and the food was above-par and filling.
Landed at Brussels.
We landed at Brussels airport and I expected it to be snowing. Afterall its in Europe right and was surprised that it was warm at 11 degrees.

John Edwards and the mistress mystery
The mud being slung at the two-times Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards – last week the US scandal rag the National Enquirer claimed he had a mistress and a "secret love child" – appears to be beginning to stick. When the story originally broke no major news organisations deigned to follow it, although it was widely aired on political blogs such as the Drudge Report. However, at the weekend the Rupert Murdoch-owned Fox News claimed that it had "independently verified" details of the Enquirer's story.
Reporters from the supermarket tabloid had confronted Edwards, 55, at 2.40am on Tuesday July 22 in the corridors of the Beverly Hilton, as he was leaving the bedroom of Rielle Hunter, a divorcee whom he was rumoured to have made pregnant last year. Amid scenes more suited to a Benny Hill sketch than the corridors of a luxury hotel, two journalists and a photographer chased Edwards – whose wife Elizabeth is fighting incurable cancer – around the building for several minutes. He eventually hid himself in a men's lavatory for a quarter of an hour, before being escorted from the premises by security staff.
Although the Enquirer appeared to have a proper story (for once), most newspapers and major broadcasters refused to touch it. The editor of the Los Angeles Times went so far as to order staff "not to cover the rumours or salacious speculations" about Edwards, even though he is (or was) among leading contenders to be Barack Obama's running mate. The apparent blackout was broken by Sean Hannity and Alan Colmes at Fox, who ran a report that confirmed several major details of the Beverly Hilton incident, and asked: "Why were the reporters chasing Edwards, and why is this story nowhere in the mainstream media?" ·

Four years after serving as maid of honor at Gayle's 1982 nuptials to William Bumpus, Oprah finds love with Stedman Graham. Stedman and Gayle become Oprah's pillars of support as her profile skyrockets with the popularity of The Oprah Winfrey Show. "What's made their friendship so successful is they both love to talk," Stedman says on Oprah in 2011. "So they made a pretty good living out of talking, and they're interested in the same things. They basically are sisters."

Legislative pension committee meets as the clock ticks on governor's deadline
By David Roeder and Zach Buchheit Staff Reporters June 27, 2013 6:54PM

Updated: July 30, 2013 8:37AM
Members of a House-Senate conference committee tackling Illinois pension reform said Thursday they'll try to find common ground on the contentious topic, but none could offer new answers for cutting the state's nearly $100 billion liability.
At its first hearing, the committee took testimony from advocates on different sides of the pension issue. The witnesses spelled out familiar positions that left the 10 committee members grasping for solutions.
Several said the job will take them beyond the July 9 deadline set by Gov. Pat Quinn, who wants a special legislative session on pensions that day. "I'm not going to judge myself on an arbitrarily set deadline," said state Sen. Kwame Raoul (D-Chicago), the committee's chairman.
Raoul said the panel should work quickly while being certain about the financial and legal impact of anything it proposes.
The governor, however, criticized the committee for waiting eight days after its formation to hold its first hearing. Illinois' unfunded pension liability grows at an estimated rate of $17 million a day.
"Just listening to some of those folks on that committee, they've spent more time complaining about the deadline when they should, in my opinion, spend time doing the work of pension reform," Quinn said. He said he and his staff would help around the clock and over the July 4th holiday. "Forge an agreement. Get it to me. We'll sign it into law," he said.
Raoul said committee members were in touch immediately and that eight days was a reasonable interval for organizing a hearing. Its next meeting is scheduled for July 3 in Chicago.
Republicans on the panel argued for fast action. "It's time to get in the room and hash this out," said state Sen. Matt Murphy (R-Palatine).
The panel heard from leaders of business groups who emphasized the need for drastic action that will improve the state's bond rating, from union leaders saying state workers didn't create the pension crisis but have already helped with potential solutions and from actuaries explaining the origins of the crisis. Recent reductions in the state's bond ratings give Illinois the worst credit report for all 50 states.
But any suggestion of a tax increase for pension funding, or making permanent a supposedly "temporary" hike in state income taxes, had committee members squirming.
Doug Whitley, chairman of the Illinois Chamber of Commerce, publicly challenged Raoul to sign on to tax increases if the senator insists that benefits for current state retirees cannot legally be reduced. Raoul angrily accused Whitley of misrepresenting his comments about a state constitutional guarantee of benefit levels.
State Rep. Lou Lang (D-Skokie), who is not a committee member, called for making permanent the 67 percent increase in state income tax rates passed two years ago as a budget stopgap.
The added revenue could be set aside for pensions, Lang said. "All we'd be doing is codifying what we're doing anyway," he said.
His plan got a cool reception. State Sen. Daniel Biss (D-Evanston) said it was "extremely unlikely" the committee will touch the tax issue. Raoul said Lang's proposal wasn't "pragmatic."
Dan Montgomery, president of the Illinois Federation of Teachers, urged support for union-backed legislation, SB 2404, that he said shaves more from the pension liability while protecting benefits better than a measure, SB 1, advocated by House Speaker Michael Madigan.
By allowing retirees to opt out of health insurance coverage, the bill reduces pension liability by $32 billion, $11 billion more than the Madigan plan. Some lawmakers have questioned the union estimate.
The Madigan bill would end compounding cost-of-living increases, hike retirement ages and increase employee premiums. The union alternative is "legal, fair and effective and an embraceable compromise," Montgomery said.
The bill requires a 2 percent pension contribution hike from workers and delays cost-of-living increases.

It is a question I have been pondering for a while. I am not a religious person in any way and the yoga I practice focuses on the physical benefits. Of course with these benefits comes peace of mind - that goes without saying - if your body is in good shape and you feel confident about yourself, that will affect your state of mind. I also do take a small amount of meditation but only ever based in reality, for example, looking at your life at this present time and thinking if there is anywhere else you want to go etc. I feel uncomfortable going to a yoga class where the focus is on the channelling of energy and the whole process is wrapped in mysticism. I then wonder if the physical and spiritual aspects of yoga cannot be separated, must we come up with a new name for the bodily exercise we know as yoga? Views on this issue are most welcome!Namaste!
Also....Yoga means "Union." A union of the body to the mind to the breath to the pose to the self to the spirit and so on and so forth. I doubt it was called something that translates to "Union" by accident ....just something else to think about ....Shanti
i feel that there are many levels and ideas of spirituality.....your meditation, even if it's only "reality based", is still a form of spirituality. i don't feel that you "have" to be overtly spiritual to practice yoga. that comes naturally in it's own time. if there's a part of yoga that one is not ready for, then it's not the time for that. everything happens as it should, including each individual's yoga practice. as long as you enjoy it and it benefits you in your own personal way, then it's a good thing for you. everything will happen (or not) as it is meant to:)

NCAA Football 2014 NEWS AND UPDATES
11/26/14 - The Minnesota Gophers have finally broken into the AP's Top 25 teams after their victory over Nebraska 28-24 on Saturday, the Gophers' first AP ranking in the top 25 since 2008. Nebraska came into the game heavily favored, but Minnesota managed to keep up with the Cornhuskers, and in the last two minutes of the match, defensive end Briean Boddy-Calhoun sealed the win by ripping the ball away from Nebraska at the two-yard line. The Gophers next take on the Wisconsin Badgers, a game that will determine a trip to the Big Ten. The Florida State Seminoles continue to dominate NCAA football, but this week Alabama rocks the rankings. The Crimson Tide lead in a coaches poll, although the AP rankings still have Florida as their no. 1. Alabama smashed Western Carolina 48-14 last weekend, and Florida State barely held on to beat Boston College 20-17. Tickets are still available to witness these top two teams, and many others, here on Razorgator.

11/18/14 - The Florida State Seminoles are currently ranked 1st in an NCAA Football poll conducted by the Associated Press, no doubt due to their incredible 30-26 win over Miami on Saturday despite being down 16 points after the first half. Alabama and the Crimson Tide stand 2nd in the rankings, and Oregon rounds out the top 3. The Mississippi State Bulldogs suffered their first loss of the season 25-20 to Alabama, dropping them down to 4th. The Oregon Ducks managed to jump up to the 3rd spot after defeating Arizona State 35-27 in Corvallis. Florida State currently boasts a 26 game winning streak that trumps almost every other team in the NCAA. Big matchups to watch this week feature the Seminoles taking on Boston College, Alabama versus Western Carolina, and the Ohio State Buckeyes against the Indiana Hoosiers. Tickets are still available for all these important games and more on Saturday, November 22nd, with some tickets as low as $27.
11/12/14 - The NCAA football playoff standings saw a shakeup after a pair of costly fumbles thwarted Auburn's comeback effort against Texas A&M, and dropped the Tigers out of the First Four. Oregon's dominant win over Utah was enough for the 9-1 Ducks to leapfrog undefeated Florida State for the No. 2 spot. With Auburn dropping out, TCU moved up to No. 4 after dismantling Kansas State 41-20. Mississippi State still sits at the top of the rankings, but a major road game at Alabama looms large this weekend. Tickets for that SEC showdown in Tuscaloosa start at $148. Big games this weekend include Auburn at Georgia (tickets from $123), Clemson at Georgia Tech (tickets from $56), Ohio State at Minnesota (tickets from $38), and the annual in-state battle between Florida State and Miami (tickets from $114).
11/5/14 - Oregon moved up to No. 4 in the College Football Playoff rankings this week, joining Mississippi State, Florida State and Auburn. The Ducks travel to Utah this weekend to play the No. 17 Utes at Rice Eccles Stadium. Other Top 25 games on Saturday, November 8th, include Baylor at Oklahoma, Notre Dame at Arizona State, Kansas State at TCU, Alabama at LSU, and Ohio State and Michigan State. With a win over its Big Ten rival, the Buckeyes could move into the Top 10.
10/14/14 - Mississippi State dominated Auburn 38-23 on Saturday and moved up to No.1 in both the AP Top 25 and USA Today polls. In-state rival Mississippi won big at Texas A&M and is still ranked No. 3. Florida State dropped to No. 2. There's no question this week's biggest college football matchup is Notre Dame at Florida State on Saturday night in Tallahassee. A loss by either team at Doak Campbell Stadium could hurt its chances to make this year's college football playoff. Notre Dame vs Florida State tickets start at $148. Other big games on Saturday, October 18th include Kansas State at Oklahoma (tickets from $63), Texas A&M at Alabama (tickets from $65), Oklahoma State at TCU (tickets from $56), and Stanford at Arizona State (tickets from $24).
10/6/14 - After a Saturday of college football upsets, Baylor, Mississippi State and Ole Miss jumped into the AP Top 5. Florida State held onto No. 1, while Auburn moved up to No. 2. In addition to these schools, four others remain unbeaten in the Top 25: Arizona, Georgia Tech, Notre Dame and TCU. In the SEC, Mississippi State plays Auburn at Scott Field in Starkville on Saturday. Auburn vs Mississippi State football tickets start at $196. Also, Ole Miss plays Texas A&M in College Station. Rebels vs Aggies tickets are $113. In the Big 12, TCU visits Baylor at McLane Stadium in Waco. Find TCU vs Baylor college football ticket deals from $162 on Saturday 10/11.
