A few years ago, musicians Usha Uthup and Emil contacted a Bollywood singer — one whose name has been synonymous with evergreen melodies — to croon a Malayalam devotional song. Being apprehensive about the unknown language and its 'tough' image, the singer initially declined the offer. However, backed by the confidence of Usha and Emil, he rethought about the offer. "Looking back, I am happy that I sang that track 'Kaanan Kothi Ponneesho', which went on to become quite popular," said celebrated Bollywood singer Kumar Sanu, for whom it was the first Malayalam song. Years later, he has now recorded for the upcoming Malayalam movie 'Samrajyam 2 Son of Alexander' and said it was a fantastic experience.
"I love the movies and music of all South Indian films. As far as songs are concerned, I write them down in Bengali, in my own short hand technique. That helps the right placement of tongue and sounds while singing," said the singer, who added that he loves to watch south Indian films more than Bollywood movies. "I don't watch Bollywood movies much, but enjoy the subtitled movies from the south, where story and direction are given the required importance," he added.
His musical journey started in 1986 in Mumbai. He remembers the making of the movie 'Aashiqui', which has his favourite song ever, 'Tu Meri Zindagi Hai'. "It was initially a music album. Listening to the song, Gulshan Kumar said in jest that a film should be made for them. And thus was born the ever-loved movie," he said. Did he watch 'Aashiqui 2'? "I did. It is ok, but not as perfect as the first one. Personally, I don't feel the story is up to the mark and not all songs are great," he observed.
Talking about the current crop of musical talent, he felt that the encroachment of technology and western influence have affected their skills. "Singers can't do much about the situation and most of them sound the same. I would say those trying to make it big here should focus on creating an identity for themselves and work hard," said Kumar Sanu.
Keralites can be proud that his favourite singer is KK, a non-resident Malayali. "He is amazing and versatile enough to handle different styles with élan. Among female singers, Shreya Ghoshal is outstanding," he added.
The singer said it's his dream to visit Kerala as a tourist and experience a stay in the house boat. He is currently working on an album, which his fans will get to hear soon. "I love the fact that Malayalam film industry gives equal importance to melodious songs too. I would love to sing more of them," was his parting shot.

LOS ANGELES — The Reason Foundation last week released its 17th Annual Report on the Performance of State Highway Systems.
The study, by University of North Carolina Transportation Professor David Hartgen, measures the condition of all state-owned roads and highways from 1984 to 2006.
It also calculates the performance of each state in 12 categories, including pavement and bridge condition, traffic fatalities, congestion, and highway maintenance and administrative costs.
The study found that North Dakota is most effective in maintaining its roads and bridges, while New Jersey has the worst-performing, least cost-effective highway system in the nation.
Massachusetts' roads were found to be the safest; Montana's were found to be the deadliest.
Throughout the country, 24.1 percent of bridges are deficient or functionally obsolete, the study says. In Rhode Island, over 53 percent of bridges are deficient.
With regard to traffic, the study found that California fares worst, with an 83-percent congestion rate. Other states' highways, however, are becoming increasingly jammed: Officials in 18 states reported that at least half of their urban interstates suffer from gridlock.

I have worn the same dress
for four days, because
I am sick, exquisitely
sick --
black and gold, your drunk
dimestore Nefertiti. A
white stain announces
itself, a muddy star:
she coughed
here. Undo yourself,
those sallow words you drink,
let the silk fall loose. I've got
a face like dirty laundry
and burial grounds --
What I touch becomes
unwell. I wear my hair
like it pains me,
blow kisses
like a little girl
sucking her teeth
at cars, the caked little
tombs of sugar that crumble,
under the hot milk
of the sun.

Amberley A & P Show Hoof to Hotplate Competition
We sponsor the Hoof to Hotplate competition at the Amberley Show, which was held on 1 November 2014. After being judged "on the hoof" the stock were processed at Harris Meats, and then judged "on the hook." The photos of the cattle and lambs are on our Facebook page, plus there are some great photos from the farmers' visit to our factory to see the boning out process. Here's the link
At the show, the taste test was held. We were delighted that our own cattle beast won the beef section. Well done to farm manager, Ross Minehan and his team at Glenturret Farms. We think the secret to our winning this competition (for the second time) is that the stock just have to walk across the road to the factory. The less stock have to travel, the better the final product, which is why we are so keen on sourcing local stock!
Congratulations to the Stackhouse family for their win in the Lamb competition. The standard of lambs produced in this year's competition were absolutely world class. You can buy lambs just like the competition ones from us.
Gold Medal for Harris Meats Old English Sausage!
We have just been awarded a gold medal for our Old English Sausage in the Traditional Beef category. Our Saveloy was awarded a silver medal. Great news all round. All the gold medal winners went into the judging for the Sausage Supreme Award. Congratulations to Allenton Butchery for winning this with their beef and blue cheese sausage. If you would like to read about all the other winners, here's the link to the information

Satisfied Customers
We love getting feedback from customers. We were absolutely delighted to receive this adorable photo of Eddie trying his first sausage. His parents, Jeremy and Dena, wrote:
"The attached photo is of 7 month old Eddie complete with two whole teeth. As caring parents, we only want the best for our boy when it comes to food. Life is way too short for bad food. So when it came time for our son to try the first sausage ever in his life, there was only one place to go, Harris Meats Cheviot. A family favourite is the gourmet pork, so that's what was offered. Devoured it very quickly as expected and was looking for more. So a big thank you to the team at Harris Meats for providing such high quality food, you just started another generation of very satisfied customers."
Our shop in Cheviot had a make-over. Here's the view from the road, but you have to come inside to see the rest of the fabulous new look. Come and visit us and let us know what you think.
Tender Hung Beef
We use a technique called "tender hanging" to ensure our beef is tender and tasty. If you are interested in finding out more about this process, check out the new tab under "About Us". Barrington Fresh Meats sell our tender hung beef at their butcher's shop in Christchurch. You can check them out at http://www.freshmeats.co.nz
Tips for Cooking the Perfect Steak
Take the steak out of the fridge to let it reach room temperature before you cook it. Oil the steak, not the pan/hot plate and then season accordingly with salt and pepper. Don't season until you are ready to cook as salt can dry out the meat. Once you have finished cooking your steak, let the meat rest (loosely cover with tin foil) for at least five minutes before serving. Enjoy.
We currently employ 35 staff at Harris Meats. As well as fully qualified butchers and slaughtermen, staff are also involved in quality control, engineering, small goods production, packing, retail and administration. We offer apprenticeships to young people who are keen to thoroughly learn all aspects of the butchery trade. If you are reliable and prepared to work hard, contact us as there may be an opportunity for you now.

Valley Flashing for Roofs: This article discusses details and specifications for roof valley flashing for best construction & roof leak resistance. We describe how to construct three common styles of roof valley: open valley, closed-cut valley, and woven roof valley, and we include roof valley underlayment and nailing specifications. This article series discusses best practices in the selection and installation of residential roofing Green links show where you are. © Copyright 2015 InspectApedia.com, All Rights Reserved. Valley Flashing Requirements for Asphalt Shingle RoofsAdapted/paraphrased with permission from Best Practices Guide to Residential Construction, chapter on BEST ROOFING PRACTICES: Because valleys catch water rushing down two roof planes, they are likely places for roof leaks. Leaks can be caused by water rushing up the opposite side of the valley or from wear and tear caused by the channeled water, snow and ice buildup, or traffic on the roof. For that reason all valleys should start with a leak proof underlayment system to back up the shingle or metal valley detail. Valley Underlayment Requirements for Asphalt Shingle Roofs[Click to enlarge any image] Start by cleaning any loose nails or other debris and nailing down any sheathing nails that are sticking up. If eaves flashing is used, it should cross the valley centerline each way and be installed before the valley underlayment (see "Eaves Flashing," discussed in ROOFING UNDERLAYMENT BEST PRACTICES). Next install a 36-inch-wide strip of self-adhering bituminous membrane in 10- to 15-foot lengths up the valley. Keep the membrane tight to the sheathing at the valley center, since any hollow sections could be easily punctured. Next install the 15-pound felt underlayment across the roof, lapping over the valley flashing by at least 6 inches. NRCA (Lile) recommends that the underlayment should always be centered in the valley, not what you might think that where a steep slope intersects with a more gently-sloped roof section - keep the underlayment centered rather than extending the underlayment further into the lower-sloped roof area.- Ed. Roll roofing is also an acceptable underlayment for asphalt shingle valleys, although it is more prone to crack and is not self-healing around nails. After the underlayment is complete, the valley can be completed in any of the following ways (Table 2-3 above - click to enlarge the tables or illustrations in these articles). Durability of Roll Roofing Used as Roof Valley FlashingOur roof valley photo (above-left) shows roll roofing used as the exposed valley flashing for an open roof valley - an accepted practice. In our OPINION -DF, while roll roofing (or peel and stick ice and water shield membrane) work well as roof valley underlayment, using roll roofing as the final surface in an open roof valley is not as durable as the metal lined valley options or closed-cut or woven valleys discussed below. If you consider that a roof valley drains water from two or more intersecting roof planes you realize that more water flows down this roof area than anywhere else on most roofs, meaning that we want the most durable materials in this location. - Ed. In sum, the water volume and velocity running through roof valleys is often quite a bit more aggressive than other roof slope surfaces where the same material might have lasted longer. Continuing from from Best Practices Guide to Residential Construction: Shingle Nailing Details Near Roof Valleys:NRCA (Lile) recommends that fasteners should not be located within 6-inches (152mm) of the valley center when installing any roofing material, including roll roofing and asphalt roof shingles - Ed. Open Valley Details for Asphalt Shingle RoofsWith a heavy-gauge, noncorrosive metal lining, open valleys are the most durable valley and the most costly (see our discussion of alternative flashing materials found at FLASHING WALL DETAILS). An economical version uses two layers of roll roofing for the lining, which should last as long as an asphalt roof. NRCA (Lile) recommends that roof valley flashing metal for open roof valleys should be 26-gauge (0.45mm) galvanized steel or equivalent noncorrosive, nonstaining metal. Lile points out that valleys lined with roll roofing are not as durable. - Ed. The bottom layer of roll roofing goes on with the gravel facing downward; the top layer with the gravel facing upward. Nail along the edges every 12 to 18 inches, keeping the material tight against the roof sheathing. Metal valley linings should be 2 to 3 feet wide and no more than 8 or 10 feet in length to prevent wrinkling from lengthwise expansion. Our photo (above left) illustrates the cross-valley wrinkle that occurs by repeated heating and cooling in long segments of metal roof valley flashing - this flexing eventually breaks the flashing leading to a roof valley leak. Our roof valley photo (above-left) shows what happens if a single section of valley flashing is too long: it heats and buckles and eventually breaks and leaks. Here(at left) is a photo of a buckled, cracked and leaking roof valley caused by just this problem. The valley lining, whether asphalt or metal, should have 6 inches open at the top (3 inches on either side of the valley centerline) and increase by 1/8 inch for each foot of valley length to accommodate the greater flow further down the valley. So a 16-foot valley would have 6 inches open at the top and 8 inches at the bottom (see Figure 2-15). Overlap metal roof valley sections by 12 inches, and seal the lap with a flexible sealant, such as polyurethane or butyl, on roofs shallower than 5:12. Where two roof valleys meet, for example above a gable dormer, a soldered joint is likely to break from the movement. You can see in our roof valley photo (left) that there has been a history of patching at the valley intersection on this roof. A lead cap overlaid 6 inches onto each valley is an effective way to seal the top. Where the roof slopes are uneven or one roof is larger than the other, a 1- to 1 1/2 -inch-high V crimp in the middle of the metal valley will prevent the uneven flow from running up one side of the valley. The crimp also stiffens the valley. A hem is also desirable, both to stop any overflow water and to provide a place to attach nailing clips, which hold the flashing securely while allowing movement. Nails wedged against the edge of the flashing and driven lightly against the flashing may also be used. Clips and nails should be the same metal as the valley or a compatible metal that will not cause galvanic corrosion (see GALVANIC SCALE & METAL CORROSION or see page 83 in the printed text Best Practices Guide. Shingles should overlap the valley lining by at least 6 inches. With a roll roofing valley, keep the nails at least 6 inches from the valley centerline. With a metal liner, nail 1/2 inch outside the liner. Seal each shingle to the liner and overlapping shingle with a 3-inch-wide bead of plastic roofing cement. Closed-Cut Valley Installation Details for Asphalt Shingle RoofsNRCA (Lile) explains that closed-cut valleys combine some of the advantages of other valley types: their partial-open design improves roof drainage down the valley (compared with a woven or irregularly-shaped valley), and they are relatively abuse resistant. A closed cut roof valley will have at least four layers of roof materials: one layer each of felt underlayment, mineral-surfaced roll roofing, and two layers of shingles. Closed-cut shingle valleys work fine with strip shingles, and laminated asphalt shingles. But, Lile continues, for double-layer T-lock or double-layer individual lock-down shingles, the minimum valley slope should be 5" in 12". Finally, he warns that single-layer (3-tab) shingles can't be used in a closed-cut valley because nails may be needed to hold tabs at or near the valley center. - Ed. Continuing from from Best Practices Guide to Residential Construction: A closed-cut asphalt shingle roof valley starts the same way as a woven valley, with the first course of shingles run across the valley from both roof planes, lapping the shingle from the larger or steeper roof plane over the shingle from the smaller/shallower plane. Then continue roofing the smaller or lower slope
roof plane, running each course at least 12 inches past
the valley centerline. Next, snap a chalk line 2 inches out from the valley centerline on the opposite slope and shingle up the other side of the valley, holding nails back 6 inches from the valley center. Our photo (left) of a closed-cut valley on a group home in upstate New York shows that the roofer had a different idea about where the cut-line should go - s/he kept the cut line high out of the valley. Trim each shingle to the guide line as you go, or run them long and trim them later. In either case, clip about 1 inch off the uphill corner of each shingle to help direct rushing water into the valley. Finally seal each shingle to the valley and to the overlapping shingle with a 3-inch-wide bead of plastic roofing cement. Closed valleys go up quickly and provide a clean appearance with either standard or laminated shingles. If sealed well, they provide adequate protection. Woven Shingle Valley Installation Details for Asphalt Shingle RoofsNRCA (Lile) points out that woven roof valleys are limited to cutout-style 3-tab asphalt roof shingles (as there are no openings to weave solid or architectural or dimensional or laminate style asphalt shingles together), and he adds that the valley's slope should be at least 4" in 12" or steeper, installed typically over a layer of mineral granule faced roll roofing. Lile also warns that woven valleys have some drawbacks in areas where moss is likely to grow between the shingle cutouts, hindering roof drainage. - Ed. Continuing from from Best Practices Guide to Residential Construction: On the first course across the valley, the shingle from the larger or steeper roof plane overlaps the shingle from the smaller or shallower plane. Extend the end of each shingle at least 12 inches beyond the valley centerline and avoid placing any butt joints near the valley center. Press the shingles tight into the valley when nailing and place no fasteners within 6 inches of the valley center. Add an extra nail at the end of each shingle that crosses the valley (see Figure 2-13 at above left). Continue to the top of the valley. Done correctly, woven valleys are very weather-resistant and best for high wind regions, but they are somewhat slow to install. Woven valleys work better with three-tab shingles than with heavy laminated shingles, which do not conform well to a crisp valley line. Our woven valley photo (above-left) courtesy of Frank Albert, shows a valley constructed using laminated asphalt shingles. -- Adapted with permission from Best Practices Guide to Residential Construction.

This helmet is expensive, but well worth the money. Very comfortable too.
Read All ReviewsSteven in NM
I've been through a lot of helmets in my 52 years of riding bikes on and off road. I raced moto-x and cross country for years and this by far is the best fitting helmet out of the box I've ever had and I have spent big bucks on all the big name brand helmets. The quality of this helmet is fantastic and I do believe it was designed for best protection possible. I wish 6D would make street helmets I know I would buy one.Thanks 6D.

Fit was a little tight at first, but after a few rides it was perfect. Fit and finish is top notch and the graphics look great.

I have had this helmet for 3 months and I am impressed. I bought it after having a hard crash (with a cheap helmet) and getting a concussion. This 6D is so far outstanding! Feels slightly heavier that other helmets but the airflow is great. A good investment for anyone who wants to keep riding a long time and still have brains when they get old!

Cut the Carbs with These 7 Tasty Recipes
Sugar Wars
Having diabetes doesn't mean a life without pizza, burgers or desserts. You just have to make smart choices. Our experts reveal how simple food swaps will make your diet as delicious as it is healthy...
You're counting carbs, snubbing sugar and watching calories. But does that mean eliminating delectable treats and fun food from your diet?
No, say nutritionists and diabetes experts. Cleverly swapped ingredients and a dollop of open-mindedness can keep fave foods on your table.
"There's a lot of misinformation out there," says nutritionist and certified diabetes educator Amy Stephens, M.S., R.D.
Everything's on the menu – in moderation, she says.
Portion sizes matter as much as food ingredients, if not more.
But if you want more than a couple bites of a "forbidden" treat, you'll need clever substitutes, Stephens says.
Here are 10 healthy trades, so you can satisfy cravings and control carbs, fat and sugar at the same time.
1. Pizza upgrade
Pizza is heavenly: loaded with cheese, tomato sauce, topped with pepperoni, olives and more.
Not so great is the saturated fat, carb-heavy crust and sugary sauce.
But don't give it up; upgrade instead.
Start with whole-wheat pitas, which have more fiber and vitamins than regular pizza crust.
Spread on your favorite no-sugar-added tomato sauce and add shredded part-skim mozzarella and favorite toppings (if you use meat, choose the leanest kind).
Heat until the cheese melts, but make sure the pita doesn't burn.
"It [still] tastes great when topped with half-fat cheese, turkey sausage and seasonings," Stephens says.
If you prefer following specific recipes, try our
Fennel & Chicken Flatbread
2. Shake shake-down
Most fast-food smoothies and shakes are overloaded with sugar and saturated fat, but a healthier concoction is as close as your blender, Stephens says.
Whip up this vitamin-packed drink in minutes:
Half a banana, peeled and cut into chunks
1/2 cup strawberries (or other berries)
1/4 cup nonfat milk powder
1/4 cup no-sugar-added apple juice
3 packets sugar-free sweetener (if desired)
1 cup crushed ice
Blend ingredients on high, and you have a cool drink packed with 230 milligrams of calcium, but only 36 grams of carbohydrates and 169 calories.
3. Make a better burger
Craving this hearty, all-American staple? Then choose a smart alternative to the standard calorie-, fat- and cholesterol-laden beef bomb.
Start with very lean beef or turkey, Ashare advises. (Check the label – ground turkey isn't always low in fat, she warns.) Or go for fish.
"For a new, healthy twist on burgers, opt for wild salmon or ahi tuna burger," Ashare says.
Another guilt-free alternative: portobello mushrooms. The hefty mushroom – easy to find in health-food markets and some supermarkets – has a meaty appearance and texture that makes it a good substitute for an all-beef patty, Stephens says.
Enjoy your burger bunless – crisp lettuce makes a great wrap – or on a thin, 100-calorie whole-grain sandwich bun.
Love the toppings? "Lettuce, sliced tomatoes, onions, mustard and other veggie toppings can be added freely," Ashare says.
Try our
Mediterranean Portobello Burger
4. Get a taste of chocolate
Chocolate-covered strawberries are a romantic treat – and you can have some if you make them at home. The only difference between store-bought and a healthier version is one ingredient: sugar.
Here's how to make them:
1. Begin with fresh, ripe strawberries (or any other fruits or nuts) and pop them in the freezer for 30 minutes to firm them up.
2. Melt good-quality, unsweetened chocolate in a double boiler, whisking in a just a little cream, hot water and Stevia or Splenda to taste.
3. Remove fruit from the freezer, dip them in the chocolate (using a fork, slotted spoon or tongs), and spread on wax paper to harden.
Like many favorites, these are fine in moderation, says Joyce Houston, R.D., the former public-health nutritionist for Humboldt County, Calif. Work with a nutritionist to figure out what quantity is right for you, she says, since diabetics have varying blood-glucose responses to sweets.
5. Try sweet-potato "fries"
Here's a healthier alternative to golden, greasy French fries. Use sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes, says Stephanie Dunbar, director of nutrition and clinical affairs at the American Diabetes Association.
Your body digests them more slowly, and they have less of an impact on blood sugar levels.
Here's how to make them:
1. Wash sweet potatoes thoroughly, and leave the skin on for extra fiber and nutrients.
2. Cut them into fry-shaped slices.
3. With one tablespoon of sunflower, safflower or canola oil on both palms, rub all the slices thoroughly and bake them in an oven until browned on the outside and soft on the inside.
For more specific instructions on how to bake these fries, check out our
Oven Fries for Two
6. A smarter sandwich
Need a thick schmear of creamy on your sandwiches? Meet nature's mayonnaise: avocado.
Instead of egg-and oil-loaded mayo, spread a quarter of a ripe avocado on the bread. You'll get plenty of flavor, extra fiber and potassium, which helps preserve a normal balance between the body's cells and fluids.
Avocados are also a great source of monounsaturated fats, and they lower cholesterol levels, says registered dietitian Jackie Mills, who develops recipes for health-advocacy organizations.
Low-fat or nonfat yogurt is another healthy mayo substitute in a tuna-salad sandwich, and can serve as sour cream in virtually any recipe.
7. Say
You may love cheese, but diabetics, at risk for heart disease, are often told to avoid it because of its high saturated fat content.
Still, "people with diabetes can eat cheese," says Mills, but as a garnish, not a main course.
Just a touch of highly flavored cheeses, such as feta, goat, Parmesan or extra-sharp cheddar can perk up salads, vegetables and whole grains.
Also, look for reduced-fat versions – they're easier to find and better-tasting than they used to be.
8. Terrific tacos
Mexican food has a bad rap as fattening. But it's fine for diabetics – if you keep it light, Ashare says.
"As long as you avoid or use sparingly the heavy toppings like cheese, sour cream and guacamole, Mexican food can actually be very healthy," she says.
Instead, add low-fat Greek yogurt, a few slices of ripe avocado, and just a bit of low-fat cheese. Small corn tortillas will give you more fiber and less fat than the flour variety. Buy the leanest meat, use whole black or pinto beans, and pile on the fresh vegetables. And to cut down on cooking oil, use a nonstick pan.
Try our
Charred Tomato & Chicken Tacos
, which are big on flavor but low in calories, carbs and fat.
9. Have a rice day
Where rice is concerned, darker is better. Brown rice is an excellent source of magnesium, iron, selenium, manganese, B vitamins and fiber. White rice, on the other hand, is brown rice stripped of its essential nutrients.
Then there's black rice, which is rich in fiber and iron, and the dark color (it turns deep purple when cooked) indicates anthocyanins – healthful chemicals also found in purple fruit that may help regulate blood-sugar levels.
Another healthy choice: quinoa, a South American grain that has – among other benefits – as much as 20% protein. It can taste bland, so boost the flavor by adding herbs such as parsley and basil, or cook it in chicken broth, Stephens advises.
Quinoa with Latin Flavors
is a tasty way to enjoy this versatile grain.
10. PB&J redo
Think your peanut butter and jelly sandwiches days are behind you? You can have them, but without the sugary jam.
Start with sprouted-wheat bread, which has a hearty texture and less impact on blood sugar levels than other varieties, says Jennie Brand-Miller, Ph.D., a co-author of
The New Glucose Revolution
(Da Capo Press).
Lightly spread reduced-fat, low-sugar peanut butter on the insides of two slices of bread. Then add sliced sweet, fresh fruit, such as bananas or strawberries, in place of the jam.
Miss jam? Make some naturally sweet apple spread instead:
1. Core and chop up sweet, crisp apples (such as McIntosh, Jonagold or Fuji) and transfer to a large pot. Cook in about an inch of water or apple cider until soft.
2. Then puree them in a food processor and return to the pot. Add cinnamon, cloves, ginger and allspice. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until thickened.
3. Refrigerated leftover spread in airtight containers should keep for up to two months.

On worse case scenario you had no doubt in your mind that they would use you for those horrible experiments they do on the other unfortunate people that had been dragged into the facility from either mental institutions, or even right off the streets.You wished you could have done something, but you had to think of your own safety first.

It'll be a while before I can carry (my CCDW class is saturday) but I almost always have a knife and a flashlight on me, though the knife gets left in the Jeep when I'm at work since I work in an airport. The flashlight is a Fenix PD31 and the knife is a CRKT YeaGo. The PD31 does have several functions and brightness levels but with a twist of the end cap the only accessible functions are the solid 304 lumen light and the 304 lumen strobe- click once for solid, twice for strobe and either of those would leave someone seeing stars. If you twist the end cap back there are 3 additional brightness levels and an SOS feature.

Hey i got civil engg at galgotia is that a good career choice,reply soon...
engineers can find job in both private and public sector - You need to create and maintain facilities and structures example- power plants, dams, airports, sea ports, highways, inland waterways and industrial plants,commercial complexes, skyscrapers, tunnels, bridges, roads, urban rapid transport systems, sports stadiums. In all these thing
engineers are required. You can find jobs in the railways, private construction companies, military, engineering services, consultancy servicesroad projects, building work, consultancy firms, quality testing laboratories or housing societies. As a
engineer, you will have to plan out, design and supervise the construction of different types of buildings. See if it is interesting or not. Any career option is good if you have abilities and also interested in it. People after studying engineering find that option does not suit them . You also need to work on job sites in sweating condition . Feel free to ask further question. Once you start the course networking, internships, making good resume all will help in getting good job ....

The syllabus is almost same in IIT and AIEEE except for extra topics in IIT .Please visit the official website of AIEEE- www.aieee.nic.in/ and Official website of IIT-JEE http://www.iitg.ac.in/jee/ for getting detail of syllabus instead of wasting time in visiting one website to another and then checking the information whether it is right or wrong. You need to work on concepts in both the exams but in case of IIT you really need to practice hard in understanding of concepts and knowing their applications . In AIEEE speed and accuracy will matter more . Whenever in between two exams one exam is easy ( AIEEE in this case) the number of students appearing will be more and the number of question getting solved will also be more . There are good number of books available in market but having NCERT books are must . They will be your base on which you will prepare for all these engineering exams .Feel free to ask further question ....

It or
....which is beter for girls?
PDPU is decent college so you can defenitely take up engineering course . As far as course selection in considered read the entire answer.
As a
engineer, you will have to plan out, design and supervise the construction of different types of buildings. You need to posses good knowledge of mathematics and science. Also, you must also have good supervisory and administrative skills.
Furthermore, you must be ready to sweat it out at construction sites and even work under stressful and hostile conditions
Girls can opt for office jobs like analysis, designing, tendering, managing projects and many other office jobs.So if you think you have the will power to enter this male dominant engineering, just do it. Don't let others decide your future, if you want to be a
engineer just go for it. In future you surely can opt for off-site jobs if you think on-site jobs are a bit difficult due to surroundings or circumstances
In IT engineering you will be working in office so there is no chance of any physical stress. So see your abilities , interest the kind of challenge you want to take up and make career in it. If it is
engineering more appealing to you then take up this as career option....

Copper Fire Pit
Great purchase
We have only used it once so far, but my family is extremely pleased with the pit and plan on spending alot more time using it.
October 29, 2010
Fun stuff!
This fire pit was the largest I found from a vendor I would trust the quality. It arrived in a timely fashion. The product was exactly as I expected. I set it up by myself. We started the fire early because of it's large size. A couple of hours later, we were roasting hot dogs and s'mores on a beautiful autumn evening. Throws good heat.
October 28, 2010
Great Quality!
I searched high and low for a heavy duty firepit that could withstand my husband's large firewood. This pit is solid, heavy duty, and very nice looking. The copper turned after about a month of weathering and a few fires. It blends right in with our outdoor living. We made a wood top for it to convert it to a coffee table to hide the ashes and soot when we are not using it. This is a great investment if you are looking for a long term pit.
October 27, 2010
A fire-pit that will last forever
Great quality, very sturdy and solid. Lovely to look at. The optional metal mesh dome lid is
a must as the ashes do fly about. The lid is also
sturdy and nicely designed though it doesn't quite fit, we needed to 'stretch' it a bit to make it fit correctly.
October 26, 2010
spark scrn
Love the spark screen . It will work great on our new fire pit. I do however have to order the cover as i do think it will rust if left out.. Have not had a bad item from frontgate.. quality is always there.
October 22, 2010
Did not keep, decided to build brick firepit.
We decided to build a brick firepit instead of keeping protable design.
October 22, 2010
High quality - makes roasting more fun
These are worth every penny. Long enough to keep your hands from getting too hot. Made well from high quality materials. The family loves them!
October 17, 2010
Great Buy
They are a little pricey, but worth every penny. Excellent quality, which is what I want with something that the kids will be sticking into a flaming fire pit.
October 14, 2010
40" Copper Fire Pit
After searching at length for a larger diameter fire pit - my husband and I settled on this one. And, we are so glad that we did!!! Very pleased with the size, the beauty and the quality. We ordered the spark cover to go with it. Have already put it to use to enjoy these cool Fall evenings!
October 12, 2010
True to Frontgate Quality
We love to enjoy a fire in the evening - especially in the fall season when the nights get cooler while the days remain warm. This high quality, attractive, fire pit is not only just the right size for logs, but it provides a gorgeous fire. We didn't buy the spark guard, but think that's the next purchase to contain sparks from the larger fire that this size pit enables. We've now designed a special area just to showcase our new fire pit!
October 7, 2010
Great patio addition!!!
The 40" copper fire pit is awesome. It looks great and the size is just what is needed if you want a decent fire without the risk of wood/ash falling out. And I can use the same size firewood that I use indoors, which is a nice time saver when cutting wood.
We purchased the cover separately and it fits well and is easy to use. Only issue is it would be nice if there was some way to have the cover not catch rain water, but that's easy enough to do by putting something underneath it.
Great purchase.

The Best Fire Pit
After researching fire pits, I determined the Frontgate 40" Firepit was the best for the money. We have used it several times during cool September nights here in the northeast. It looks great and works beautifully! I like that it holds larger logs and the grate provides excellent airflow. I highly recommend it.
September 19, 2010
40" copper fire pit
Absolutely love this fire pit. It was very easy to put together and goes well with our frontgate torches. The only Complaint I have is that the first fire pit that was delivered had a flaw/divot in the copper bowl. It shouldn't have passed quality control thus the reson for the four star rating.
September 16, 2010
Copper Fire Pit
The copper fire pit is a great improvement over the one I bought a year ago from somewhere else. The old one has tiles chipping off and is beginning to rust. Obviously this wont be a problem with the beautiful copper one. The copper fire pit is very substantial and sturdy. Just make sure to buy the spark cover.
September 16, 2010
We absolutely love the firepit! It's a little too hot in MS right now to use it, but we look forward to lighting it up this fall! It's absolutely beautiful though, and I cannot wait to use it as a cooler when we entertain! However, I know how to use a firepit, but I do wish it would have come with instructions on how to use/ clean it... Love it so far though!
September 16, 2010
Great Gift
I gave this as a gift and my friends were thrilled.
September 9, 2010
Perfect Backyard Fit
The 40" copper firepit creates a perfect centerpeice for backyard gatherings with family and friends. We could not be happier with it.
August 28, 2010
love the look
I have not used the fire pit yet as it is still too hot out, but love the look of it
August 25, 2010
QUALITY, QUALITY, QUALITY that's it in a nut shell
I purchased the Fire Pit Tools. The quality is the main factor in that product that I purchase. My friend ordered the tools and when I saw them I "had to have them" !!! The weight and the construction are exquisit and I mean it...
I love looking at your catalog. I wish it was bigger! I want to order everything.........
My suggestion is that maybe more products for the average person to afford.
Keep your catalog coming ....
August 25, 2010
Excellent product
We purchased the 40" copper fire pit because we wanted to be able to use our own firewood that was cut longer than most firewood. The wood fits beautifully. The firepit it very sturdy compared to those sold in local stores.
The grandkids love roasting marshmellows and making "smores" around the fire pit.
Thanks for a great product.
August 7, 2010
Great value - largest fire pit around
We love our new 40" firepit. Our only disappointment is that the spark screen rusted after the very first use--I believe because the flames burn off the protective coating on the screen. Other than that, we're ecstatic about our purchase. We like the fact that the entire screen doesn't need to be removed to attend to the fire--simply open half of it, which fits in the other half--great design!
August 4, 2010
Beautifully Crafted
We love the firepit but have yet to have a cold enough night to use it. Can't wait.
August 2, 2010
Perfect Finish!
At the time the 40" copper fire pit was purchased (several years ago), the cover wasn't purchased. Over the years, it became evident that the cover should have been purchased. I was so very pleased to see the cover still offered in the Frontgage catalog. I ordered it; it arrived incredibly fast (within a few days), and it fits the fire pit perfectly while giving a finished look to the fire pit when it isn't being used.
August 2, 2010
always confident you will stand behind the product
I LOVE the misting fan, John was less impressed. Then when it quit working, I was concerned, but as usual Frontgate stood behind the product especially when we couldn't get an answer from the fan company. The new fan is here and I am looking forward to hooking it up and enjoying the coolong mist. Ask us again in a month to hear if the new fan is still working.
July 22, 2010
as nice as the picture
we were very happy with the product
July 21, 2010
What a perfect combination of style and functionality! We love the way this looks and it gets used 2 to 3 times a week and even after a year it cleans up real well.
July 14, 2010

fire pit
This is the second pit we bought. We love ours so much we bought one for our daughter's family. They now love theirs.

Copper Fire Pit
I searched for a sturdy, durable and stylish fire pit for our new patio. This fire pit fits the bill. It is deep and wide enough to fit big logs in. The bowl is very thick and solid. The stand is very sturdy and of good quality. Overall, this is a well made fire pit and well worth the money.

Thank you for your interest in the Copper Fire Pit. The copper bowl may get warm to the touch and it should not be sat on, leaned on, or used as a foot rest.4 months ago
where is this accessory made and what gauge of steel? Does it need to be attached to a base in order to work properly, as I am planning on using it on a different fire pit.

The Safety Sparkguard is made in China from powdercoated stainless steel. It does need to be bolted to the Fire Pit, so we can not guarantee it will work properly with another fire pit.5 months, 3 weeks ago

NCI Announces Cash Tender Offer For Certain Out-of-the-Money Stock Options

Community Health Charities Reviews

Invite friends and colleagues to share their experiences with this nonprofit
November 3, 2014
Roberta Melton and staff from the New England branch of CHC, have been such an asset to our company. Through the Health Matters At Work program, they have provided added benefits to our current health and wellness program. The speakers they provide us from different charities are always well received and appreciated. I truly value my working relatiosnhip with Roberta, Community Health Charities is a wonderful organization.
October 31, 2014
This organization has truly enhanced our visibility in companies that we would not otherwise be able to get in front of. We appreciate their assistance and support.
October 30, 2014
Community Health Charities has done a wonderful job reaching out into the community through its educational outreach programs aimed at donors in the workplace. As a Development Director of a member charity I have seen how CHC been so good at explaining why employees can donate to charities through them and making it convenient to not only donate but also to volunteer. Many charities are able to benefit from people who might not otherwise have taken the time or had the time to seek out ways to give to the variety of organizations offered. I am very grateful for the help they have given us. - Gail B.
October 30, 2014
As the Marketing & Development Coordinator for a nonprofit that benefits from Community Health Charities I am grateful for all that they do!
October 30, 2014
Community Health Charities is a streamlined way to solicit donations in terms of workplace giving for us. We are a small office of a national charity with limited time and resources to accomplish what we do through membership in Community Health Charities. Jane B.
October 29, 2014
The ability of CHC to reach the local charities it serves is unprecedented. As a board member of the Southeastern affiliate for more than 5 years, I have witnessed firsthand CHC's unique ability to put caring donors in touch with the charities that mean the most to them, thereby increasing overall employee engagement through community outreach. Donors appreciate the opportunity to see their hard-earned money enhance their own local community.
October 27, 2014
I have served on the Board of the Atlanta-based affiliate of Community Health Charities for over 10 years. My involvement with this organization is rooted in its long-time dedication to connecting donors and recipients in the focused area of health. I particularly am gratified being affiliated with an organization that discharges its mission with a true focus on "outcome-based" giving -- an unwavering dedication to donor choice and donation impact in their local communities. Donors are assured that their contributions make a difference where they work and live, as efficiently and effectively as possible. MikeS.
October 27, 2014
I have served on the Board of Directors of Community Health Charities of Maine. CHC is able to connect with local employers to help generate much needed funds for health-related charities. In return, CHC's Health Matters at Work program brings important health information and services provided by these charities directly into the workplace through their interactive website. Louise P.
October 23, 2014
Giving to Community Health Charities at my workplace is convenient and I never miss the money. I'm proud to give!
October 23, 2014
Have been proud to serve as a volunteer as well as a board member for Community Health Charities. They are a wonderful organization, with such inspiring leaders and executives. Most importantly, they make a difference in every community they serve. And the value they bring is so very needed. By far my most favorite volunteer time, Community Health Charities has built an exceptional organization, a strong brand and a meaningful mission. I have been honored to get to know the organization in a very real way. They are deserving of support and are committed to excellence throughout the nation.
