JAIPUR: Bhog is an important aspect of Durga Puja. It is considered to be a blessing from goddess Durga. During the four-day long festivity at Bengali clubs, whatever is cooked, is first offered to the Goddess with Bhog Aarti. This makes the food blessed and it is then distributed to everyone.
At, Durga Bari, one of the oldest pandal in the city, the preparation of food is done on a grand scale. "For Asthami and Navami, 500 liters of milk, 1,500 kg of vegetables and 500 kg each of dal and rice have been brought. The organizers have brought in 50 extra people apart from their own volunteers to oversee the bhog distribution," said Sudipto Sen, secretary, Jaipur Durga Bari Association.
The bhog consists of mouth-watering khichdi, mixed vegetable curry, tomato chutney and payesh (kheer). Manik Das Adhikary, secretary of Agrani Cultural Association said, "We ensure that everyone who visits the pandal for seeking blessings, receives bhog. It is prepared in bulk but the taste is divine".
His views were choed by S K Sarkar, president of Probasi Bengali Cultural Society. "The significance of bhog is that everyone sits together and eats the same food irrespective of class and caste. It also means that Goddess Durga showers blessings on everyone equally," said Sarkar.

On the Road with Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh
A documentary film about the monks and nuns of the Plum Village tradition traveling to share the Dharma throughout the US for three months.
Many of you may know of Thay, of Thich Nhat Hanh, the beloved Zen Master, the gentle monk that has helped bring engage Buddhism to the West. Now, meet his array of monastic students.
A small team of monks and nuns, with the help of a professional documentary film maker, will share their life while they travel with their teacher this Fall 2011 on the "Now Is The Time: This is It!" US-Tour. Many people, young and old, have asked and been curious about the life of the monastics – what their life is like during the day, the month, the year. The classic question to the monks and nuns have always been along the lines of, "What is you life like?" "Why did you become a monk/nun?" "How do you all handle living together with so many people from different backgrounds and upbringing?" Now you will have an opportunity to glimpse behind the scenes, behind the bells, behind the tour of their life.
We need your support to realize this project. We need to raise $30,000 just to cover the basic expenses to make this film – a reputable film maker to follow the Sangha on tour, editing costs, and an assistant if needed. Please help us spread the news to your friends and family, to your Sanghas and social networks.
Thank you so far to everyone for the outpouring of support and enthusiasm for this project. You have warmed our hearts. It is great to know that many of you want to see this film made.
May the Bodhisattvas protect us on this endeavor.
May our ancestors and patriarchs guide us on this journey.
May we all find joy, fun and meaning in the hours of our day.
Thank you for your love and trust.
Brother Phap Dung
On behalf of the ON The ROAD team.

I'm contemplating planting peppers in a 4" Pvc tube, either set up as a tower or possibly hanging horizontally with a plant every 6 inches or so.
Anyone have experience growing in pvc? Do you think this is sufficent spacing and will allow good root growth? Thanks, Scott |

Too confining for their roots. Think of something else. Their roots can spread out as wide as the plant gets. |

I would be concerned about growing anything in PVC due to the dioxin (a known carcinogen) that leeches out of it. |
I think a 4 inch tube is definetly too small for most pepper plants unless its a small ornamental type pepper maybe? Just my opinion |
These would be jalapeno, serrano, thai and some SE asian varieties. What about the horizontal idea? Growing each one spaced along the pipe about 6-9" would give the roots room to grow laterally.... |
I believe a lot of waterlines are made with PVC in modern homes so I would not be concerned about contaminants. I think the idea would be a fun experiment but I wouldn't bank my season of pepper growing on it. I would definitely confine my variety selection to the smaller varieties since I think the pipe would be a bit too small otherwise. |
I think it's a cool idea, but I would worry the 4' diameter wouldn't be enough room for root growth, even laterally. I'd love to see it tried on a 6' or 8' pipe. Below is a link to a Tribe topic that discusses sourcing inexpensive PVC pipe. Looks like salvage is the way to go... I'm going to start keeping my eyes open for some of the larger size, I can't resist an experiment. :-D |

Please help me out here. Just had new cabinets installed and when sweeping the floor I noticed this seemingly seepage at the toe kick. The corner seam appears to have come apart. Could I have a leak? |
Follow-Up Postings:
If this is a vanity I would check the plumbing for any leaks. Could also be dampness, are these particleboard cabinets? |
Yes it is a bathroom vanity. The inside cabinets and pipes do not show any signs of leaking or dripping. The cabinets are KraftMaid and presumably particle board with veneer. |
You could try putting some tissue paper along the toe kick. Then use the sink. If it gets wet, you have a leak. |
could the floor have been wet when they installed the cabinet? Looks like the stain could have bled onto the tile and the water soaked into the vanity (if you don't find evidence of a leak now). |

Alfred 'Alferd' Packer guided a party of five ill-fated prospectors in Colorado in the 1800s. All but Packer died before reaching their destination. Arrested for their murders, he told many versions of what happened, including having had to cannibalize their corpses to survive.
Alfred Packer was born on November 21, 1842 (though some say it was in January) and was still a young man when the Civil War broke out. Epilepsy got him out of the military, so Packer became a prospector. During an expedition, Packer's party got lost and he was later accused of eating his companions.

Learning JavaScript and implementing it in your web pages is not that easy. Hence we take help of prewritten JavaScript libraries. jQuery is one of them. The best feature of jQuery is that it allows you to select elements of different types. You can wrap the desired set of elements in jQuery having access to multiple elements at the same time. Manipulation of wrapped set of elements can be done by changing their HTML. It is well known for its visual effects which use a lot of color combination with fades. Widgets such as accordion control, sliders, tabs amd calendar make it heavy.
The key feature on jQuery that becomes identified automatically is the slider plugin. Tts very easy to implement the slider plugin. We can customize the style ourselves but the recommended original combination stays the best. Sliders have features like looping (going back to the first image or video after the list is finished), auto play, and image preloading (loading of the next image when the current image is being viewed so that no time will be consumed in displaying the next image) and auto generated pagination.
No need to learn JavaScript in depth. jQuery makes it easy learning it. Start working with jQuery from zero knowledge base to have the best tutorial practices. Here is a collection of 19 useful jquery image sliders plugins and tutorials that you should read if you want to have a great featured content slider on your website or become a jQuery ninja.

Re: DIY ViDock - My experiences so far
ICH8M datasheet says in the RPFN description:
Port numbers will remain fixed to a physical root port.
The existing root port Function Disable registers operate on physical ports (not functions).
Port Configuration (1x4, 4x1, etc.) is not affected by the logical function number assignment and is associated with physical ports.
The *only* unknown here, for anyone with a desktop system, is what happens when you mask out video card pci-e pins to work only in x4 mode, then mask out say lane 1 and 3. Does it work in x2 mode using lane 2 and 4?
For example, on my DV2000, expresscard=port1, mPCIe=port4.. connecting port1=lane1, port4=lane2 did not work in x2 mode.
If the desktop video card can work in x2 mode using other lanes (1-4), then would need to ask hwtools to re-ignite development of PE4M to allow ports to be connected to allow any available ports (port1-port4) to be connected to lane (1-4), matching their port order.
My last correspondance with hwtools had them announce stopping PE4M development due to customer returns/refunds because of error 12: cannot allocate resources problems that they didn't know what to do about. I asked hwtools to link to this thread off their website.Last edited by User Retired 2; 25th January 2010 at 07:20 PM.

Re: DIY ViDock - My experiences so far
It shouldn't be too difficult to make PE4M out of PE4H with the adapter from LinITX.com plugged into it:
It is IDE and provides an easy way to solder 2 extra lanes in a shape of mini HDMI sockets or direct soldering to HDMI wires.

Hi there.
Managed to get the power to my GPU and the fans are spinning.
I connect it to the laptop and.. nothing happens. Is there some software I need? Why is windows 7 not picking it up through the express card slot?

Re: DIY ViDock - My experiences so far
I plugged a mouse into the EC2C adapters USB port and the laptop picks this up. However the 8800 gts remains no where to be picked up. I have disabled the 8800 onboard card on the laptop.
There is no reason for me to suspect the 8800 gts card is damaged. I can check it in another computer if need be.
What are the other areas I should look at?Are you noob to this discussion?

Re: DIY ViDock - My experiences so far
Thanks to Nando's help, I'm running in x2 mode on windows 7 with 4 GB System RAM
Now, Everest, GPU-Z and the Nvidia Control Panel all 3 report that I'm running at x2.
With the GeForce GT240 in x1 mode, 4GB RAM I get:
RE5 Benchmark=37.3 fps
In x2 mode, 4GB RAM I get:
RE5 Benchmark=47 fps
It could have been more. I think my 2.0 GHz 667 MHz FSB CPU became the new bottleneck.Last edited by JohnnyEM; 13th February 2010 at 07:04 PM.

Re: DIY ViDock - My experiences so far
UPDATE: DIY Vidock Setup 1.x makes the steps below obsolete . The information below is left as a legacy of the old way of doing things.
Getting > 2.5GB to work in Win7 with PCI Reallocation
PCI Relocation process below can be performed *without* buying/attaching a DIY ViDock.
- ATI cards require 32-bit PCI allocation. Win7 with a 64-bit CPU+chipset using Intel 4500MHD IGP can do the simpler IGP Reallocation instead.
- NVidia cards (9600GT+) can use 64-bit BARS (>4GB) using Win7/32 PAE or Win7/64.
Without a bios allocated 256MB window, the ATI driver will give a error 12:cannot allocate resources in Win7 with > 2.5GB RAM even *after* configuring the underlying PCI bridge, requiring workaround below.
1. There's no free 256MB contiguous window above TOLUD to accomodate the desktop video card.
2. Win7 requires an enabled primary adapter. Cannot disable it then hijaak it's 256MB window like can under XP.
32-bit PCI allocation can only occur above TOLUD to the 4GB boundary (FFFFFFFF). TOLUD, more often than not, cannot be altered as vendor bios lock it by setting D_LCK. See limitram.bat if you want to try anyway. Appears vendors set TOLUD to be mostly 3GB when 4GB is installed, providing 1GB for pci-e configuration space.
DIY ViDock users have so far resorted to removing RAM, which makes TOLUD smaller and frees at least one extra 256MB window. Not an ideal solution.
The Better Solution: PCI Reallocation
Spend 30min-1hr analysing the bios set PCI allocation and then override it with tighter allocation to free up 256MB of space. Performed with 100% success on 3 out of 3 systems below. The analysis of the fourth system, the Dell Studio 1555 found it didn't need reallocation. The fifth system, the Inspiron 14, had a too frugal bios allocated memory map so there isn't room to free 256MB of space.
Steps-by-step instructions
1. Without the desktop video card attached, boot the DIY ViDock USB bootdisk
2. Capture the default pci allocation as a snapshot with 'pcitool /DB:snapshot'
3. Load captured snapshot.bpd into PCI Scope to review the allocation. [Note: PCIScope BSODs on me in Win7, but runs OK in XP]
4. Use Device Manager->View->Resources By Connection->Memory and review PCIScope PCI device configuration data to relocate devices by creating a PCI Reallocation Script. Examples below.
5. Configure the PCI Bridge hosting the desktop video card to use the freed 256MB window.
6. Boot DIY ViDock bootdisk, run PCI Reallocation Script file to tighten up allocation. Run 'grub' to chainload Win7. Enjoy Examples below:
Alternative approach:
1. Run 'pt PCI map' to show your default mapping of devices
2. Run 'lspci -v -xx > pci.txt' to save your PCI configuration
3. Review the pci.txt output, noting the addresses currently occupied, relocating them to another area to free space. Done with the 'setpci -s' command.
System RAM Chipset PCI Memory Map Freed 256MB area PCI Reallocation
ScriptTOLUD Bios Allocated Reallocated HP DV2000 3GB ICH7M 3.00GB here here @3.25GB/D0000000 dv2000pr.bat HP 2510P^1 2GB ICH8M 2.00GB here here @3.50GB/E0000000 2510ppr.bat Acer 9525 4GB ICH7M 3.00GB here here @3.25GB/D0000000 9525pr.bat Dell Studio 1555^2 4GB ICH9M 3.00GB here N/A @3.00GB/C0000000 N/A Dell Inspiron 1440 4GB ICH9M 3.50GB - N/A perform the simpler IGP Reallocation
^1 for demonstration purposes only, as don't have a 1x4GB module for it's single slot
^2 - PCI Reallocation not application as it already has a free 256MB window
Disabling onboard graphics?
For further demonstration purposes, and unnecessary after applying the PCI Relocation Script, we see here that by disabling the 2510P's x3100 graphics resources using igp_disb.bat, we could have freed another 256MB @D0000000. This is a shortcut way to free a 256MB window if using XP or Win7-with-XP-video-drivers without desiring a dual-adapter setup. Win7 WDM 1.1 drivers, that provide aero support and DX10, do however require the primary video card active so cannot use this method.
Easier setup?
A request has been gone to a coder to create a DOS based program to run off the DIY VIDock bootdisk to do all this for you. Fingers crossed, we'll see something in the coming weeks.Last edited by User Retired 2; 1st October 2010 at 09:07 PM.

Re: DIY ViDock - My experiences so far
Great discovery about the >2.5 GB Ram issue on Windows 7.
Is there a chance the PCI memory reallocation can work for me? The memory allocation structure for my laptop does not seem to be exactly the same.
The PCIScope snapshot was done with the full 4GB ram and without the DIY Vidock connected.

Re: DIY ViDock - My experiences so far
Since PCI Space is > C0000000 (3GB), your bios has set TOLUD to 3GB. You have devices using D0000000 space that can be moved to F0000000, freeing up the 256MB at D0000000.
I viewed the PCI Config registers of devices that sit in the D0000000 256MB space by loading your snapshot into PCIScope, creating a setpci/batch file to move any address that start with D to a F (ie: Dxxxxxxx -> Fxxxxxxx).
The result is below. Suggest trying initially without attaching your desktop video card. You should just have the PCI Bridge (Port1) at D0000000 shown in Device Manager. Once confirmed, run your x2-conf, then 9525pr.bat, chainload your OS with grub, enjoy

Re: DIY ViDock - My experiences so far
I too am having some issues figuring out what to change when doing the reallocation. Also my snapshot.bpd file is showing everything as unknown. Can someone please take a look at these files and give me some guidance? I would appreciate it greatly.
Thanks for your help and time,

I've had this tree as a houseplant for the past six months, and a week ago it started dropping leaves like crazy. At first I thought it was just a few, but every few days it will drop about 5 leaves at once, and for a tree this size thats alot. I think it may have been stressed from a few things. My ferret dug into this pot several times in one week recently, and once or twice the roots became exposed (I changed things so she can't get to this tree anymore), I may have over fertilized it recently, and the weather is changing here and it was right next to a poorly insulated window. I noticed the pot was really cold, and I've since pulled it back a foot. Here's a picture of a few of the leaves, maybe you can tell what is wrong from that. Thanks. |

There are so many possibilitys. First in the picture I see a couple of white dots, could these be pests or some kind of reflection in the lense? I also noticed the leaves dropped without the stem...again could be several reasons the first two that come to mind are winter leaf drop and spider mites. I think you should start by checking your tree for pests, including spider mites, you need to be sure the tree has the proper light, decent humidity and make sure the tree is warm enough. If you fear you may have over ferterlized you may want to flush the soil. Foxy. |

The Who announce they will quit touring after 50th anniversary gig in 2015
The Who have announced that they will quit touring after a final series of live shows in 2015 to mark their 50th anniversary.
Guitarist Pete Townshend told the Evening Standard at the screening for their documentary Sensation, which tells the story of the band's rock opera Tommy, that they will use the tour to visit places they have rarely played in their five decade history.
"For the 50th anniversary we'll tour the world. It'll be the last big one for us. There are still plenty of places we've not played. It would be good to go to eastern Europe and places that haven't heard us play all the old hits," Townshend said.
This summer, The Who played their 1973 double album 'Quadrophenia' in full alongside their classic hits at a string of arena dates around the UK and Ireland, after a big US tour.
Released in 1973, 'Quadrophenia' was The Who's sixth studio album and second "rock opera" after 1969's 'Tommy'. 'Quadrophenia' was later made into a 1979 film starring Phil Daniels, Toyah Willcox and Sting.
A special-edition boxset of Tommy is out on November 11.

I am a step-mother of one 12 year old boy who will be a teen this summer (07). My family lives in the town my DH and I were born in, population 5000. By day I work in customer service, but in my spare time I am a chef, artist and photographer. Well... I play at those things, anyway. To date my DH and I have lost 75lbs combined on Weight Watchers, so I have joined to pick up some new low fat recipes to add to my collection. My biggest love in life, aside from my human family, are my dogs. I work for a dog rescue org. and love every minute of it.
We adopted Angel from the local Humane Society. Her mom was rescued from an abusive owner while pregnant with Angel's litter. She is a terrier mix and is wild as they come. She is easily the happiest dog I have ever met. She's smart, too. She loves to steal Gizmo's toys and hide them from him.
Gizmo was rescued from a breeder by our neighbor's kids. They discovered that Basenjis are a handful, however, and when their work schedules were increased they needed to find him a new home. We have fallen in love with him, in all his haughty ways. He has a great sense of humor and is the oddest dog I have ever owned.
Participation Awards
I love food that is easy to prepare but is flavorful. We try to cook light, so I love to try new things that tase like there is NO WAY it can be good for you.
I love to try new flavor combinations and I am always looking for recipes with ingredients I can find in my one horse town.

Has anyone seen Blades of Glory? Although it's rated PG-13, is it appropriate for an 11-year-old child? Need advice. I looked at website and I'm thinking it's probably a big NO until it comes out on DVD, and I can preview it. Input is appreciated.

Google family movie reviews. scroll down to the one put out by "PLUGGED IN.COM" This site is great! Several friends told me about it. This site reviews movies in depth so that parents know ahead of time exactly whether it is appropriate for kids. It will tell you what cuss words are in the movie, if their are any sex scenes, and if so, what it shows, what is positive in the movie and what is not. It also gives you ideas for conversation with your child about the movie. for example, if kids lie in the movie and are rewarded for it on screen, it gives you ways you can talk about that with your child. I have not seen blades of Glory, but check out this site, and it will let you know whether it is appropriate and what to expect. I see many kids in very inappropriate movies, and wish the parents knew about this site. There are a few other good ones too, if you google family move review, but Plugged in seems to give you the most information. |
From what I have read....not appropriate for an 11 year old...language and sexual jokes. But I would say it might depend on the maturity of the 11 year old. Linda C |

Bush Wants to Ban Spy Plane Tech
As part of its fight against terrorism, the Bush administration wants to block the export of technology you can find at your local camping store.
In a testimony this week, a senior State Department official, Vann Van Diepen, told a Senate subcommittee that
But this approach is full of holes, according to national security experts, beginning with the fact that UAVs and their components are available everywhere. Even in the mall.
"You can get one of the GPS navigators you find at the camping store and use it to guide a UAV, if you know your stuff," said one administration official.
In fact, most UAVs, especially the lower-end ones, are deliberately built with off-the-shelf parts, so that national secrets won't be spilled when the drones are shot down in enemy territory. For example, the Global Hawk, one of the most advanced UAVs in the U.S. military, uses a Rolls-Royce turbofan engine found in many executive jets.
Both India and Pakistan have deployed UAVs during their most recent flare-up of hostilities. Japan and South Korea use the robot planes to dust crops. And Iraq is believed to be converting a Czech training plane into a UAV, said Dennis Gormley, a defense consultant who testified this week before the Senate governmental affairs subcommittee on international security, proliferation and federal Services. He said there are 40 nations with UAVs in their arsenals.
"UAV technology -- most of it is everywhere. So how do you restrict UAVs without restricting regular airplanes?" asked a Senate committee insider.
But the better question, to many experts, is why bad guys would even bother building the robot planes, when they've repeatedly had success with no-tech terrorism?
"These are not James Bond movie villains, imagining the most complex means to an end," said John Pike, director of Globalsecurity.org. "They look for the simplest plan."
"The harsh fact is that practically anything -- from automobiles to box cutters -- could be used as a weapon of terror," Steven Aftergood, of the Federation of American Scientists, said in an e-mail.
The focus on high-tech terror weapons is part of a major, but largely unnoticed, switch in U.S. national security policy, Pike said, from defending against "probable" threats to defending against "describable" threats, regardless of their likelihood. This shift, begun early in the Bush administration, has only accelerated since Sept. 11.
"The attitude now is, 'these (terrorists) could do anything. So anything we can think of, they can do,'" Pike said.
This outlook actually detracts from national defense, turning focus away from small, manageable, no-tech measures that could prevent terrorist attacks, Pike said.
"We know a small amount of concrete, strategically placed, makes it extremely hard to car bomb a building, a tried-and-true terrorist tactic," Pike said. But there hasn't been a concentrated push to set up these barriers around federal buildings.
The administration's plan for keeping UAVs out of the hands of foes is to expand and update nonproliferation agreements like the 33-nation Missile Technology Control Regime, to make sure the latest drone technologies are covered. (Many of the best-known UAVs, like the Global Hawk, and their associated technologies, already are.)

Instant tips to freshen a dated look
Recently I unearthed old video footage dating back to the '80s and was amazed at how many looks I went through, from vampy lipstick and a perm to supertan skin and surfer-girl blonde highlights. Change has always been easy for me, but I know that's not the case for many women. So here is advice for the three most common beauty ruts I see. If you've found yourself longing for a new look, read on for instant makeup tips.
Symptom Your beauty routine is the same as it was in high school—and it's been 20 years since you graduated. Not only are you bored with your looks, but you're also feeling a little out of step with the times.
Solution Recognize that your looks have changed and your makeup should complement, not fight, your age. If you've been wearing pinkish foundation thinking that it gives you a youthful glow, it's time to switch to one of the newer foundations with more natural-looking yellow undertones.
Toss the dark brow pencil. An eyeliner brush dipped in dry shadow is a more subtle way to fill in and define brows. It's also time to retire your frosted lipstick. Switch to a shimmery lipstick or gloss that's sheer enough to let your lips show through.
And if you have the time and a few extra dollars, bring your makeup bag with you to your favorite makeup counter and ask the artist to help you update it. She'll check to make sure that you're using the best formulas for your skin type and that the shades are the most flattering.
If you describe your style and the amount of time you spend getting ready in the morning, she can also help you create a daily routine that's easy to follow and maintain.

Spurred by the fertility success stories she read about on IVF Connections' Web site, Jennifer Leeds* made plans to visit the Instituto Valenciano de Infertilidad (I.V.I.), in Valencia, Spain. Leeds, a 44-year-old real estate appraiser from Crofton, Maryland, had already seen a number of fertility specialists—she knew she'd need to have in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatments if she wanted to have a baby. But she also knew she and her husband weren't up for spending $28,000, the price a private fertility clinic charged for the outpatient procedure, which wasn't covered by their insurance policy. "Could we afford it?Yes. Did we want to pay it?No," Leeds says.
Besides receiving excellent treatment at I.V.I., which was "cleaner than some hospitals I've visited in the States" and getting pregnant at the clinic, Leeds and her husband had a two-week vacation, visiting museums and sampling the region's famous paella. The entire trip—clinic fees plus the couple's airfare, hotel, and meals—ended up costing them only $12,000 and was so positive overall, says Leeds, now the mother of a 20-month-old son, that they're returning this summer for another procedure.
Frustrated with the high cost of medical care in this country and by insurance companies that don't cover elective procedures such as IVF, medically savvy consumers are driving a new trend known as medical tourism. As Leeds discovered, the total price of an overseas treatment—with airfare, accommodations, and even a few days of vacation tacked on—is often far less than the procedure by itself would cost in the United States. According to a recent report by the Singapore-based travel supplier and ticketing firm Abacus International, Asia's medical-tourism industry is expected to generate more than $4.4 billion dollars by 2012. The region already attracts more than 1.3 million medical tourists a year; the majority of these travelers come from within Asia, but the long-haul market is "important and growing," the report says. India's medical-tourism business is expanding by 30 percent per year, according to the Abacus survey. Meanwhile, South Africa, Israel, and Spain are developing reputations as affordable destinations for IVF, Costa Rica specializes in outpatient procedures such as dentistry and cosmetic surgery, and Cyprus is attracting Europeans for its cheap high-tech hair-implant treatments. However, although some international medical centers, such as Bumrungrad International, in Bangkok, and India's Wockhardt hospitals, are accredited by reputable organizations such as the U.S.-based Joint Commission International, most are not, making them potentially risky propositions. Critics of medical tourism also point out that once patients get back home, they have little legal or practical recourse if something goes wrong.
The vast majority of medical tourists are heading to clinics and hospitals that have not been held to rigorous international standards. Sue Jensen, a 48-year-old Atlantan, was impressed with Surgical Attractions, a South African company that arranges trips combining elective medical care with spa stays and safari tours, despite the fact that it wasn't an internationally accredited facility. The price Surgical Attractions charged for a breast reduction and a tummy tuck, along with three weeks' deluxe accommodation afterward—$11,000—was "half the price of the surgery alone in Atlanta." The doctor assigned to her called Jensen before she left Atlanta to introduce himself and answer her questions. Once she arrived in South Africa, Surgical Attractions "took care of every detail" during Jensen's time in Cape Town, where she relaxed after surgery, receiving massages at a guesthouse with a pool and a garden. "I was treated like a queen," she says. "Breakfast was delivered every day, and I was within walking distance of the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront area—it was great to get back on my feet and enjoy Cape Town."
Experiences like Jensen's are not a given, however. Because there is still no international accreditation board for plastic surgery, and few countries enforce the stringent regulations for medical care that exist in the States, Dr. Roxanne Guy, president elect of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, says that traveling abroad for cosmetic procedures is "truly buyer beware." Not only should prospective patients verify doctors' credentials, Guy says, but they must also remember that "surgical wounds heal best with rest" and that the stress of travel can leave patients vulnerable to infection. And she is strongly suspicious of the promises made by some companies, such as Surgical Attractions and Plenitas, a Buenos Airesbased agency that bundles face-lifts with tango classes: "Serious complications can occur after any surgery, including cosmetic plastic surgery. Would you like to tango to the nearest help, or ride in an all-terrain vehicle through the jungle for it?" But Plenitas press director Marina Harvey says Plenitas doctors would never risk endangering a patient's health. "The idea is to travel to Iguazú Falls and tango before the surgery, never after," Harvey says.
Despite the risks, medical tourism may be here to stay. There's no better exemplar of the trend than Bangkok's Bumrungrad International, which looks more like a high-end hotel than a state-of-the-art hospital. In addition to having a Starbucks, a McDonalds, and on-site valet parking, Bumrungrad also provides a visa-extension center, a team of interpreters to help with language problems, and 123 hotel-like rooms and suites where patients can recuperate. In 2005, the hospital treated 58,000 American patients, a 25 percent increase from 2004. "We receive about 400 new e-mails a day from the United States," Bumrungrad's group marketing director, Ruben Toral, says. Bumrungrad has recently partnered with tour operator Diethelm Travel Asia to help travelers arrange trips to nearby attractions. According to Toral, there are two types of medical tourists: the leisure tourist who gets a little medicine on the side—usually outpatient procedures such as dental or Lasik, and some cosmetic surgeries—and the patient who has come for a more serious surgery (orthopedic, cardiovascular, and more intensive plastic surgeries) but who also wants to get in some pre-op excursions to local tourist sites. "The prevailing wisdom," Toral says, "is 'If I've traveled this far, then I should at least take a few days to do some sightseeing.'"

I added it to a running post in Organic forum and also wanted to hear from our TX forum..
We have a Pearland newsletter that comes in every 2 months and a nearby equestrian center had a posting about selling bagged and bulk horse manure. They say the compost starts with good quality feed consumed by healthy horses. Daily stall cleaning mixes the manure with pine shavings used as bedding. Thay also claim that the pile has been collected over 5 years.

I'm new to this forum, so my opinion probably won't carry much weight. I'm way down south of you by quite a bit. At one time we lived in the country, It contributed to some beautiful roses. Hopefully others will weigh in here. Rusty |
I use donkey manure as a top dressing, and it is wonderful. Of course, the thing you have to watch out for is the diet of these animals. My donkeys do not eat grain, so I don't have the problem with sprouts in my flower beds. As far as using it, heck yes, it is a wonderful additive and will loosen the soil so much. |
Thank you! I'll give it a shot :) I hope there is some left. |
The best garden year I ever had was the one I top dressed with horse stall sweepings. No hay or grass in it. Just the poop and saw dust soaked in urine. :) Every inch of every bed, several inches thick. Some of it was fresh and some was composted already. All the plants just loved it. After a while the soil was so easy to dig in. |
I have Cattle.. the people up the road .. there spreader broke and they were pushing it into piles They have horses.. It had already cooled down ,they were happy to have anyone come get it..I hauled it off by the truck load..LOL I have never had so much hog weed in my life..It is easy to pluck out but geez.. Just make sure it is very well processed!! Kylie |
ibheri, Do you mind letting me know what equestrian center it is that has manure? I'm in Pearland too and I could use some. Thanks! |
Sure Julia, its 288 and Almeda Genoa. Going north on 288 take Almeda Genoa exit. Go left on Almeda Genoa. Take left on lew briggs rd. It is at 13551 Lew Briggs Rd. They also have a website. Www.learnhorse.com. 713-433-7669. |

Guild transfer service coming soon {WoW}
Mar 23rd 2011 10:49PM I wonder if Blizzard will change the gold transfer caps as well.
Individual Transfer limit at 85 is 50k
Blizzard announces upcoming premium AH through Armory feature {WoW}
Feb 2nd 2010 4:29PM Like someone mentioned before, I doubt it would let players "play" the AH while not logged into the game (If I'm proven wrong .. then I'm wrong)
Blizzard has always been behind the whole "no bought in-game advantage" - eg Non-combat pets etc, so it would be surprising if they moved this way down the track.
They're not stupid enough to think that being able to use the AH fully outside of WoW wouldn't have far-reaching impacts on the game.
They, of all people, would realise that they wouldn't be able to detect bots etc without the game running. (what is it called, that thing that detected Glider?)
However, they seem to be all about convenience / efficiency - LFD / Instant teleport to instances / etc etc, so I'd imagine it's merely an AH browser simply to save people the trouble of logging back and forth from alts / running to the bank etc.
How many people "LOVE" playing the AH? Plenty .. and if they're waiting in raid, or something, it would be an awesome ability to browse the AH while waiting (why people play Peggle/Bejeweled).
Comparing someone with the AH browser vs someone without the AH browser
Person 1 doesn't have AH browser: They log out. Log into alt. Run to the AH. Scan for something they want. Buy/Sell Items. Logs back to main.
(OR they take their main to the AH)
Person 2 has the AH browser: They access the browser. If they see something they want, they either log onto an alt, run to AH and purchase. (OR they take their main to the AH)
So what is the advantage derived by the person with the browser? They save the time taken to get to the point where they can check out the AH. If they actually want to buy/sell something, they still have to get to the AH. And time is money, people would pay for this.
Of course I could be wrong, and if it did allow access to the AH buy / sell .. I think there's too many logistical nightmares.
And premium - well if you want it, you pay for it. It IS a hit on whatever Server(s) that's going to be supporting it, so someone has to pay for it. Making it premium ensures only the people that want it are adding load to the servers.

The Care and Feeding of Warriors: Armor Penetration {WoW}

Saves me buying gear, wondering whether it's an upgrade, or rolling on a certain item.
Nothing worse than taking something that isn't optimal that a guildie would have benefited from!
The Care and Feeding of Warriors: Armor Penetration {WoW}
Oct 8th 2009 10:41PM +1 for Landsoul's spreadsheet and EJ's excellent discussion forum.
Although you are assuming that everything in the spreadsheet is correct, it's a great boon in modeling different gear upgrades and which gems to buy (saves money)
It does help to understand various intricacies of the spreadsheet, as I didn't take into account the ArPen food usage adding to my ArPen total (when in reality, I usually use the Fish Feast).
For TLDR people, my general rule as Fury (assuming decent gear here to justify Fury) (can't comment on arms)
IF you have an ArPen Proc Trinket and capped in Hit / Exp (Grim Toll / Mjolnir Runestone) then it's definitely worth investing time looking at ArPen as ArPen > Str according to the Spreadsheet. You only want to get enough such that then the trinket procs, you hit 100% (I think GT procs for 43% according to wowhead etc)
After that, go back to STR or whatever you like
I then track the Grim Toll procs and pop Death Wish / Recklessness to capitalise on it.
I won't comment on passive stacking of ArPen w/o the proc trinket. EJ has more than enough discussion .. and with the ArPen nerf, STR might be better overall .. especially with the abundance of non arPen gear now.
Officers' Quarters: Guild leader loot rage {WoW}
Sep 7th 2009 7:13PM Agree with some of the posters above.
Regardless of the situation .. whether loot-related or not .. the GM abused power and showed disrespect by off-line demotion w/o any sort of discussion.
If such disdain is shown for the officers, I'd hate to see how non-officers are treated.
Armor penetration being nerfed in 3.2.2 {WoW}
Sep 6th 2009 6:35PM Edit: And even less attractive for people who are sick of raiding for GT / Mjolnir
Armor penetration being nerfed in 3.2.2 {WoW}
Sep 6th 2009 6:34PM I'm also one of the warriors that read this change with dismay.
However, I do think that ArPen is pretty abundant in Post-3.2. My gear level (as Fury) had reached the soft cap (for Grim Toll) to the extent I only have 1 ArPen gem left and will replace it (if I get another ArPen item) with Str.
On the EJ forums people were diligent enough to create item sets that would approach 100% ArPen passively w/o GT, and perhaps that is what Blizz are trying to avoid us aiming for as the next benchmark.
I'd be curious to see what ArPen is achieved for non-raiding people from gear gotten from Triumph badges (via Heroic Dailies) / T8.5 2 piece (from conquest badges), as I do feel that this change would make it harder for people who don't have access to raids / etc to even think about ArPen or even approaching it.

I can't figure out how to remove the LTZ400 gas tank to change the spark plug. Can you please help. {Jeremy, AL 2005 Suzuki LTZ400 QuadSport with aftermarket pipes}
The first thing you need to do is turn the fuel petcock to off and remove the fuel line from the valve. Next, remove the plastics that are covering the tank. They are held on by plastic body clips. The body clips are like plastic rivets. Use a small regular screwdriver and lightly pry up on the center heads to loosen them. They are only plastic, so be careful.
In the microfiche diagram of the front fenders below, the body clip is number 16. It is holding down the center fender body piece. After the clip is out this piece should lift out.
Next, remove the clips from the side covers, number 3. Check for another bolt or clip. Although it is not shown in this schematic, it may have a bolt or clip through the upper, forward edge that is shared with another body piece (front fender).
Once the plastic body panels have been removed, you will be able to move the air cleaner inlet duct cover, number 19 in the diagram of the fuel tank below, out of the way to access the 2 bolts that hold down the gas tank, located at the rear of the tank. Remove the bolts, number 13.
You probably have to remove the screw and seat hook washer, numbers 8 and 10, also. I can't be sure from the diagram. It will be clear to you when you get to this point, I am sure. Don't lose the washer.
Now, pull the tank up just a half an inch and then back two inches. This will pull it out of the front cushion, number 5.
Upon reinstallation of your LTZ400 gas tank, you may need to replace some of the plastic body clips. If they break, this is not necessarily because you did anything wrong. Its not your fault, they are fragile. The part number for them is 09409-07333, Clip. You may want to order a bag of them from your dealer.The micro fiche diagram images above were borrowed from honda-dealer.com. If you need to see how part of your bike is assembled or want to find an OEM number or estimated price for a part you can always check their website. It is free to use.

NEW YORK (AP) - Canada's prime minister says a controversial oil pipeline from his country to the U.S. Gulf Coast "absolutely needs to go ahead" and warns that the oil will be transported through one way or the other.
Stephen Harper spoke on the Keystone XL project during a visit to New York City on Thursday. The pipeline project carrying oil from Canada's tar sands would need approval from the U.S. State Department.
Harper says "The only real immediate environmental issue here is, do we want to increase the flow of oil from Canada by pipeline or via rail?" He says rail is "far more environmentally challenging."
Dozens of protesters chanted against the pipeline as Harper arrived at the Council on Foreign Relations.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
This article does not cite any references or sources. (July 2007) |
Process manufacturing is the branch of manufacturing that is associated with formulas and manufacturing recipes, and can be contrasted with discrete manufacturing, which is concerned with bills of material and routing.
The simplest and easiest way to grasp the definition of process manufacturing is to recognize that, once an output is produced by this process, it cannot be distilled back to its basic components. In other words, "once you put it together, you cannot take it apart". A can of soda cannot be returned to its basic components such as carbonated water, citric acid, potassium benzoate, aspartame, and other ingredients. Juice cannot be put back into an orange.A plastic card manufactured cannot be returned to its basic components like PVR sheets, transparent sheets. A car or computer, on the other hand, can be disassembled and its components, to a large extent, returned to stock. Process manufacturing is common in the food, beverage, chemical, pharmaceutical, consumer packaged goods, and biotechnology industries. In process manufacturing, the relevant factors are ingredients, not parts; formulas, not bill of materials; and bulk, not individual units. This is more than a subtle difference in terminology; the terms characterize distinct manufacturing approaches.
Formulation is a simple concept, but it is often incorrectly equated with a bill of materials. Formulation specifies the ingredients and the amounts (e.g., pounds, gallons, liters) needed to make the product. The first thing to recognize is that to be able to work with a formula, the units of measure must correspond; a flexible unit of measure conversion engine running under an ERP software cover is needed. Furthermore, conversion rules must be specified to account for the unique requirements of the business in question.
The proportions of ingredients in a formula also highlight the need for another feature, namely scalability. A formula to make 500 liters of a chemical must be scalable to make 250 liters or 1,000 liters. Another aspect of scalability is that it makes possible manufacturing based on how much of an ingredient is available. An example will illustrate this point. If you are making a car and only have two of the required four tires, you cannot make half a car. In other words, you must have all the parts in the required quantities to make the finished product; they are not scalable. But in process manufacturing, if you want to make 1,000 gallons of soda and you only have 500 gallons of the required 1,000 gallons of carbonated water, you have the option of making half as much soda. In process manufacturing you can make as much of a finished product as is specified in the formula for the smallest quantity in stock of one of the ingredients.
A packaging recipe is similar to a formula, but rather than describing the proportion of ingredients, it specifies how the finished product gets to its final assembly. A packaging recipe addresses such things as containers, labels, corrugated cartons, and shrink-wrapping. In process manufacturing, the finished product is usually produced in bulk, but is rarely delivered in bulk form to the customer. For example, the beverage manufacturer makes soda in batches of thousands of gallons. However, a consumer purchases soda in 12-ounce aluminum cans, or in 16-ounce plastic bottles, or in 1-liter bottles. And a restaurateur may have the option of getting a 5- or 50-gallon metal container with the beverage in syrup form, so that carbonated water can be added later.
Why is this concept important? Compare how often Coca Cola changes the formula for Coke with how often the packaging is changed to announce a special promotion: it would be easier to keep track of the weather than promotions. If the formula and packaging recipes are linked, then every time the packaging changes, the formula would need modification. Likewise, when the formula is changed, all of the packaging recipes would have to be changed. This increases maintenance costs and chances for error. In process manufacturing, the formula for making the product and the recipe for packaging the product exist in separate structures to reduce the ongoing maintenance function.
In the production cycle, a work order is issued to make the product in bulk. Separate pack orders are issued to signify how the bulk material is to be containerized and shipped to the customer. This is important in process industries which make "brite" stock or private labels. For example, large grocery chains sell products, such as soups, soda, and meats, under their own brand names, hence "private labels". But these chains do not have their own manufacturing plants; they contract for these products. In the case of soups, process manufacturers create and warehouse nondescript, unlabeled (hence "brite") aluminum cans of soup. (Since the cans are filled, sealed, and then cooked under pressure, their shelf life is long.)
By separating the product formula from a packaging recipe, a production order can be issued to make and store the cans of soup and later, when the customer is ready to order soup, a work order can be issued to label the cans according to customer specifications before they are shipped to the store. Thus segregation of the formula and pack recipe makes the world of process manufacturing efficient and effective. --
Just like the products that they produce, discrete and processing manufacturing software have different focal points and solve different problems. For the same reason that the proverbial square peg does not fit in the round hole, software geared toward discrete, or even hybrid manufacturing will not work smoothly in a process manufacturing setting. Even process manufacturing software alone needs to be tailored to a particular business context. Critical aspects such as formulation, routing, ingredients, unit of measure, lot trace-ability and product & implementation pricing must be evaluated relative to the business.

One thing that stood to me about La Salle is the atmosphere. La Salle is so welcoming and inviting. It gives you a sense of comfort. I felt so at home here, and that is the reason why I chose to attend La Salle.
The overwhelming amount of students who participate in community service was a pleasant surprise. I did not realize that so many students devoted their time and effort to different community services.

wildflowers in Crested Butte, CO
Yoga is very practical. On the yoga mat, we can learn more about how we're feeling off the mat: what we're resisting, what we're craving, what we need to let go. We can also use our yoga practice to cultivate what we want more of in our lives. For instance, cultivating a sense of gratitude on the mat inevitably leads to a more profound sense of gratitude and appreciation off the mat.
Yogic philosophy teaches us to practice non-attachment, or greedlessness. (Aparigraha, often translated as greedlessness, is one of the yamas in step one of Patanjali's eight-limbed path.) Practicing nonattachment can be difficult in our culture, which in many ways tells us to feel attachment, to want more and more, to worry about losing what we have. But, to feel greed or attachment, we must believe at a fundamental level there is a lack or scarcity. If you believe you'll always have what you need, there's no reason to feel selfish or attached.
This week I will encourage the practitioners in my classes to cultivate a sense of abundance during their yoga practice. A belief in abundance can feel like a radical idea, and it is. It's transformative. How incredible to come to a place where you believe -- where you know -- that you have everything you need, that you are everything you need. You are already enough. You are already complete. There is no need to compare yourself to the people around you, on the mat or off. There is no need to feel competitive. One of my favorite quotes (sadly, I must admit here that I got this quote from an episode of Army Wives!) is, "There's enough success in the world for everyone." If you believe this, there's no reason to feel envy or jealousy. The principle of abundance changes everything, and you can decide to embrace the principle of abundance.
This week I ask you to give this idea a try. I ask that you cultivate a deep sense of abundance during the moments you spend on your yoga mat and see if you can take that feeling out of the yoga room with you.
To feel a deep sense of abundance in your life, you have to let go of worry and anxiety. Another of my favorite quotes is, "Worry does not empty tomorrow of sorrow - it empties today of strength" (Carrie Ten Bloom). We can cultivate a sense of ease on our yoga mats that assists us elsewhere in our lives. We can learn to let go of the anxiety that clouds and clutters. None of this is easy -- I'm the first one to admit that! -- but it is so incredibly worthwhile.
When we believe in abundance -- when we feel a deep sense of abundance in our lives -- we can then cultivate selflessness. When we change our own story to one of abundance, it becomes easier than ever to be generous with our money, our time, whatever we have to share. Anne Frank said, "No one has ever become poor by giving." I find this sentiment beautiful and inspiring, and I hear it as a call to us to live a life of abundance and generosity. The more we give, the more we have. Be the change.

How To Rock Your After-Prom Party In Style
Prom is one of those few times when it's totally okay to pull a Lindsay Lohan-style, middle-of-the-night outfit change. We encourage it not just because it's the norm, but for some other pretty legit reasons too:
A) Your prom gown & shoes are probably not the most comfy ensemble in the history of ever (especially if you're not wearing heels you can dance in, ouch).
B) You probably splurged on the prom dress it because it's prom, and you don't want to risk a crowded living room/guacamole-d Tostito chip run-in.
Better to be cautious and comfortable, and bring a change of clothes. Below, some of our favorites, so your "I look so awesome" excitement doesn't have to fade with that outfit switch.

Known as the Tranquil Island, Fuerteventura has the longest coastline of all the Canary Islands, totalling 1,731 km, enjoys solitary plains and immense beaches of fine, golden sand, and is a luscious, unspoiled island closest to the African continent. Its territory is characterised by having an open, generous coast, which provides it with unbeatable beaches in terms of their extension, tranquillity and cleanliness.
Fuerteventura, separated from Africa by just a narrow strait, is a paradise for fishing, and in the north and south points there are beaches which are amongst the world's best. These characteristics allow the World Windsurfing Championship to be hosted every year, along with the International Longline Fishing Open. The ports are also the ideal place to practise sailing, diving and canoeing.
The privileged ocean situation of Fuerteventura has defined its historical trajectory, shaping its cultural richness and the laboriousness and tenacity of the local people. All this has resulted in a rich heritage which can be seen in our extensive range of museums.
Fuerteventura has a great deal to offer. Come and see us!
The community of La Oliva is located in the north of Fuerteventura. It has an area of 356 km2 and its current population is around 14.600 inhabitants.
The climate is the same as the rest of the island, dry, so it features a desert-like landscape. The average annual temperature is between 18.8 and 19.6 º C.
Rain is not common due to the low mountains.
Here we can find the following protected nature reserves:
The Natural Park of Corralejo can be found in the North of the island. It consists of the famous sand dunes, immense white beaches and crystal-clear waters. All this framed by a beautiful turquoise sky.
Very close to the east of Corralejo is the island of Lobos with its rough landscape, beautiful beach and amazing lagoons. Its population consists of one person, the lighthouse-keeper. If you like diving do not miss going there because it is one of the best spots in the Canary Islands to enjoy this exciting sport.

Haroon Khan Barred from Representing Pakistan
September 29, 2011 by TMO
Compiled by Parvez Fatteh, Founder of http://sportingummah.com, email@example.com
British-Pakistani boxer Haroon Khan has been told by the International Boxing Association (AIBA) that he cannot represent Pakistan in international competition. Khan's father, Shah Khan, told the BBC that they intend to appeal the decision, which if supported, would prevent Haroon from representing Pakistan at the 2012 Olympics in London.
Khan, age 20, is the younger brother of WBA and IBF light welterweight boxing world champion Amir Khan. Their father told BBC Radio Manchester, "The Pakistan boxing federation got an email that Haroon can't represent them as he represented England as a youth. We sent letters out to AIBA and we're hoping that they'll accept all this."
Haroon Khan was originally scheduled to represent Pakistan in the upcoming World Boxing Championships in Azerbaijan, which act as an Olympic qualifying even. Khan represented England as a youth in 2009. He initially hoped to box for England in the 2010 Delhi Commonwealth Games, but after being overlooked, opted instead to fight for Pakistan, and won a bronze medal.
"Their rulings say when a boxer becomes a national in more than one country then he has decided which country he wants to represent," Shah Khan added. "He became a national of Pakistan in 2010, now that was after he'd boxed for England. Then he decided he wanted to box for Pakistan, which he did in the Commonwealth games, where he won a bronze medal. If you go by that rule he did decide to box for Pakistan so he should be entitled to box for Pakistan. There is another qualifier in February and we're keeping our fingers crossed he'll be going there."
Hopefully this can be resolved so that Khan can box for the country of his heritage. It would make especially great theater for it to take place in in his newly-adopted country of England.

Saturday, January 21, 2006 - Page updated at 12:33 AM Suit challenges murrelet protectionThe Associated Press GRANTS PASS, Ore. — Hoping to remove one obstacle to logging on public lands, Coos County commissioners are suing to get the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to carry out its promise to take the marbled murrelet off the threatened-species list. The lawsuit filed Thursday in U.S. District Court in Eugene argues that the original reasons for listing the 17,000 to 20,000 birds nesting in Oregon, Washington and Northern California no longer exist. "The legal basis for the listing has disappeared," said Scott Shepard, an attorney for the Pacific Legal Foundation, the property-rights law firm representing Coos County. The firm argues the wildlife service has improperly treated the birds in the United States as separate from birds in Canada, which has adopted its own version of the Endangered Species Act. Genetic testing shows the listed birds are not significantly different from the 1 million birds in Canada and Alaska. Coos County Commissioner John Griffith said he hoped the delisting would ultimately lead to more logs coming off state and federal lands, where protections for the large trees where murrelets nest have contributed to reduced timber harvests. "We need to file now to make sure [Fish and Wildlife doesn't] go into another 12 month or more slumber," Griffith said. Last October, Fish and Wildlife said it would formally propose delisting the murrelet by the end of the year, but has yet to do so. The formal proposal would start a yearlong evaluation before a final decision is made. Fish and Wildlife spokesman David Patte said the agency was working on the proposal, but had no target date for it to be made. The marbled murrelet is a robin-sized bird that spends most of its life on the ocean, but flies as far as 50 miles inland to lay a single egg on the mossy branch of a large tree. It was declared an endangered species in 1992 after conservationists sued the government.
Even those diminished logging levels have never been met, due to legal battles and lack of funding for federal agencies, leading the timber industry to press the Bush administration to ease environmental restrictions. In a status review, 16 international scientists assembled under contract to Fish and Wildlife found the marbled murrelet was still declining through North America and was likely to disappear from Washington, Oregon and Northern California by the end of this century, particularly if more nesting trees were cut down.

Louis VII
Louis VII
biographical name(born c. 1120died Sept. 18, 1180, Paris) King of France (1137–80). One of the Capetian kings, he married Eleanor of Aquitaine in 1137, thus temporarily extending his kingdom to the Pyrenees. Doubtful of her fidelity, he had the marriage annulled in 1152 and, after the death of his second wife, married Alix of Champagne, who bore him his son and heir, Philip II Augustus. Eleanor married the future Henry II of England, who took control of Aquitaine and carried on a long rivalry with Louis (1152–74) marked by recurrent warfare and constant intrigue. Louis was joined by Conrad III in leading the Second Crusade (1147–49), which failed in all its objectives.
