Reinprecht gives the Coyotes a lead in second period
|03.05.09 at 8:15 pm ET
12:08: Steve Reinprecht migrated to the front of the net in perfect receiving position for a Nigel Dawes dish from the sideboards, and ripped a quick shot up and over Tim Thomas to give the Coyotes a one-goal lead.
Seconds later Milan Lucic delivered a punishing hit to an unsuspecting Coyotes skater in their defensive zone. The Looch was moved back to a fourth line spot with Shawn Thornton and Stephane Yelle, and appears to be taking out some frustration on the 'Yotes.
4:30: A series of solid saves by Thomas with Andrew Ference in the penalty box. Thomas made a quick reaction save on a Peter Mueller shot that was tipped in front of the net by Aaron Ward, and then Thomas hopped back into position to make stops on Steve Reinprecht and Nigel Dawes.
2:10: Milan Lucic just missed up and to the left of the net with a high redirect of a Patrice Bergeron wrist shot.
00:10: Clever little shot by Marc Savard from a carom off the back boards. Savard was at a bad angle, but threw the puck toward the bodies at the front of the net. The puck hit defenseman Kurt Sauer, but took a bad bounce away from the net rather than back toward the goal.
The Desert Dogs lead the Bruins by a 2-1 score after two full periods of play at the TD Banknorth Garden.

23 September 2013 00:00 [Source: ICB]
INEOS' high density polyethylene (HDPE) plant at Sarralbe in northeast France will be able to continue to operate despite the planned closure of Total's 320,000 tonne/year Carling naphtha cracker in the second half of 2015, INEOS said on 10 September.
INEOS spokesman Richard Longden told ICIS that as part of the announcement to close the cracker, Total had said it would invest in the logistics necessary to ensure the delivery of ethylene and propylene to its customers in the region.
INEOS says feedstock will still be delivered to tis Sarralbe plant
"Although information is somewhat limited at this time, we generally welcome the commitment from Total to invest in the logistics necessary to ensure the delivery of ethylene and propylene to customers in the region, which should allow these assets to continue to operate after the closure of the Carling cracker in 2015," he added.
INEOS' polypropylene (PP) unit at Sarralbe has not been supplied by the Carling cracker for many years and therefore is not impacted by the planned cracker closure, he said.
Longden also said that INEOS is "considering a number of strategic options for the supply of ethylene beyond 2015".
An economics and social advisory council for France's Lorraine region, CESE Lorraine, suggested that INEOS and other regional downstream chemical producers could be supplied by building a feedstock pipeline from BASF's petrochemicals and naphtha cracking hub across the border in Ludwigshafen, Germany.
According to INEOS' website, the company has production capacities for 195,000 tonnes/year of HDPE and 90,000 tonnes/year of PP at Sarralbe.
Total confirmed on 4 September that it will shut down the naphtha cracker at its site in Carling, northern France.
The unit was described by the France-based oil and gas major described as "acutely loss-making". The closure will lead to a net loss of 210 jobs from the site's 554 headcount without redundancies.
Of the 344 jobs to be maintained at the platform, 110 will come from the planned upgrades, Total added.
"The European petrochemicals market is facing continued overcapacity and growing international competition. In such context, it is our industrial responsibility to anticipate and adapt our production capacities to demand," the company said.
Total plans to develop new activities on the site in order to "restore its competitiveness".
It plans to construct a new production unit for C4 resins, while the existing C9 resins unit for adhesives will be transformed to produce transparent resins.
Total is also planning to renovate polymer production at the site, including the creation of a new thermoplastics unit to produce automotive plastics.

ARMM has new teachers training center
More News from Philippine Daily Inquirer
Expect education standards to rise in the ARMM.
The Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao has a new teachers training center, which the Department of Education (DepEd) considers key to improving educational standards in the region.
The Regional Education Center in Cotabato City was donated by the DepEd to the ARMM days after the Australian government gave the region an A$85-million grant for basic education improvement.
The transfer of the training center was finalized in an agreement signed by DepEd Region XII Director Rosa Gutierrez and the ARMM's DepEd Secretary Jamar Kulayan.
Education Secretary Armin Luistro said the training center would be a venue for ARMM teachers and school administrators to "enhance their capabilities."
"Education and prosperity go hand in hand," he added. Kristine Felisse Mangunay

Monasteries In The World
The Monastery of Saints Cyprian and Justina (Qibriyanus wa Yustina) at Kfifan, in the Batroun district of North Lebanon, stands at an altitude of 450 metres, on a hill surrounded by the villages of Kfifan, Jran, Dirya, Abdelli and Smar Jbayl. Construction on the site goes back earlier than the seventh century, for a document dated 717 speaks of " a building with stone vaults, 20 cubits long, flue cubits wide, and divided into four rooms..."
It was dedicated to the holy martyrs Cyprian and Justina in 1230, when Patriarch Daniel ash-Shamati (1230-1239) made it the patriarchal seat. In point of fact, Patriarch Stephen (Estefan) Dweihy (1670-1704) relates in his Chronicle of the Patriarchs that " the patriarchate was transferred for the sixth time from Our Lady of Yanouh, where Patriarch Jeremiah (Ermiya) al-Amshiti (1199-1230) had his seat, to the Monastery of Saints Cyprian and Justina at Kfifan. It was there that Patriarch Daniel ash-Shamati, successor of Patriarch Jeremiah al-Amshiti, had his seat before the patriarchate was transferred to Saint George's Monastery at al¬Kafer and then to Saint Maroun's at Kfarhay."
In 1766, when Clement (Iqlimus) al-Mazraani was Father General (1757-1766), the Order took over this monastery, together with those of Our Lady of Mayfouq and Saint Anthony (Mar Antonios) at Houb. The monks who followed each other in charge were at pains to renovate and restore it. In particular, they built the pre¬sent church, which dates from 1826. Between 1865 and 1895 the building was com¬pletely renovated. Seventy years later, in 1965, a new phase of restoration began covering the whole monastery. In 1988, work was started on a new storey for the novices.
In 1808 the monastery of Kfifan was designated as the scholasticate. This was the first time in the history of the Order that all the student monks were brought together in one monastery. Between 1808 and 1874, some two hundred and sixty priests were ordained there, among whom were the Venerable Father Naamatallah Kassab al-Hardini, as student and teacher, Saint Sharbel Makhlouf and Father General Ignatius (Ghnatios) Bleybel (1811-1832).
Studies were suspended for a short time and then resumed in 1892, when the monastery was once again chosen to be the scholasticate, filling this role until 1898, when the scholasticate was transferred to the Monastery of Our Lady of Victory (Saydet an-Nasr) at Nesbay, Ghosta. However, the monastery of Kfifan car¬ried on its educational activity in a lay school for boarders and day boys opened in 1897, at the request of the people of the surrounding region.
In 1899 the monastery of Kfifan was chosen to be the noviciate and continued as such until 1939, when the novices were transferred to the Monastery of Our Lady of Victory at Nesbay, Ghosta, as part of a project for bringing together the three categories of candidates for the monastic life and remained there until 1944. It was then that the noviciate was once again installed at the monastery of Kfifan, where it remained until 1950. From there it was transferred to the monastery of Ghosta where it stayed until 1965 ; then the noviciate was transferred to the Monastery of Our Lady of Succour (Saydet al-Maounat) at Jbayl until 1977, when it went back to the monastery of Kfifan, where it has remained until now.
According to the chronicle of the monastery, up to 1950 five hundred novices had been formed at Kfifan, of whom three hundred and twenty-six pronounced their monastic vows.
There were several reasons for returning the novices to the monastery of Kfifan. The most important was that the monastery shelters the remains of two emi¬nent members of the community. The first was the Venerable Father Naamatallah Kassab al-Hardini, who entered the Order in 1828, took his monastic vows on November 14, 1830, was ordained priest on December 25, 1835, and died on December 14, 1858. The second whose remains are preserved was Brother Stephen(Estefan) Naameh, who died on August 30, 1938, aged 51. Their lives were edifying examples of virtue and spirituality.
This is the message that the Order wishes to transmit to its young aspirants during the noviciate, which is a deeply spiritual test through which the individ¬uel learns about himself, about what makes up the monastic life, and about his own ability to respond to its demands.
In the monastery there is a museum with the liturgical vessels used by the Venerable Father Naamatallah Kassab al-Hardini and some manuscripts pre¬served in the archives and the library, as well as agricultural tools fashioned by Brother Stephen Naameh.
Finally, it should be observed here that the demand for the beatification of the Venerable Father Naamatallah Kassab al-Hardini was presented in 1926 and that he was declared Venerable on September 7, 1989. In May of 1996, the miracle which God operated by his intercession was subjected to investigation, and the results were sent to the Congregation of the Saints at Rome for further study. Alter the authorisation of Patriarch Mar Nasrallah Butrus Sfeir (1986-...), his tomb was opened, his remains placed in a new coffin, and the tomb sealed.
On the first of July, 1997, the General Assembly of the Congregation of the Saints gave its unanimous approval to the report on the miracle. The decision con¬cerning the miracle was then read in the presence of Pope John Paul II (1978-...) on July 7, 1997, and in conformity with the decision taken on November 29, 1997, his beatification has been fixed for May 10, 1998. Ever since the death of the Venerable Hardini on December 14, 1858, the monastery of Kfifan has been gain¬ing in importance. It has become a shrine visited by the faithful wanting a bless¬ing and intercession.

I'm currently making (my first pair of!!) toe-up socks, and the pattern calls for some small cables, and recommends to not bother with a cable needle. To be more specific, the instructions are as follows:
T1L - sl1 to cn, hold in front, p1, k1tbl from cnT1R - sl1 to cn, hold in back, k1tbl, p1 from cn
Written InstructionsRow 1: p1, k2tbl, p1; repeat to endRow 2: As Row 1Row 3: As Row 1Row 4: T1R, T1L; repeat to endRow 5: k1tbl, p2, k1tbl; repeat to endRow 6: As Row 5Row 7: As Row 5Row 8: T1L, T1R; repeat to end
I've found lots of instructions on how to knit without a cn, but my mind is drawing a blank as to how I am supposed to incorporate the purl stitches. Any suggestions?
P.S. The sock pattern is Little Minx.
Hi LTG,
I went to the link and saw the following links about your question. Sorry, I think you should practice with another yarn you have left from another project. I know your mind is in blank but if you play the video over and over until you catch the idea you'll see it is very easy to purl the stitches. It is just purl where the pattern calls for. In case you need extra sources here there are three more tutorials:
As you could see the following tutorial is exactly the one you need:
Practice, practice, practice and THERE IT IS!!!!!!! YOU MANAGED TO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Patience, persistence and love are the main ingredients for wonderful knittings.

Audi "coup" by Thjnk
Rating: 5.0
By Loulla-Mae Eleftheriou-Smith, marketingmagazine.co.uk, Monday, 05 September 2011 12:20PM
The campaign stems from Nissan's wider creative campaign for the Juke model, which uses the strapline "Energise the city".
Nissan is making 700 of its Nissan Juke Kuro model available in the UK, promoted under a new strapline, "Play on the darker side". It is available in two colours, Force Red and Pearl Black.
The press and digital campaign, created by TBWA, launches this week and features 48 poster sheets, digital outdoor ads and print ads across men's style and motoring publications.
Online elements of the campaign, created by DNA, feature branded ad banners and homepage takeovers of automotive and men's lifestyle sites including Autotrader, alongside ad spots on Spotify.
A supporting email campaign has been created by TMW. All media is handled by Manning Gottlieb OMD.
John Parslow, marketing communications manager, Nissan, said: "We're really excited to be launching the limited edition Nissan Juke Kuro which will further contribute to what has been our most successful launch ever.
"The 'Play on the Darker Side' creative campaign TBWA\London have developed showcases the car beautifully and further establishes Juke's unique, mischievous and energetic personality."
In June Nissan promoted its UK managing director Paul Wilcox to its top European marketing role, naming him the senior vice president, sales and marketing, Nissan Europe.

As he demonstrated in his production of Mac Wellman's The Lesser Magoo, Lee has an unusually exuberant spatial imagination. He's comfortable not only working with layered textual material (one character channels moments from both Uncle Vanya and Three Sisters), but in choreographing disparate theatrical worlds. He also possesses a talent for writing witty lyrics (particularly amusing are the rowdy chorus numbers). Though his music-hall saga may not travel anywhere too deep, it never lacks flamboyant style or rock'n'roll verve.

The total commitment of the young cast is truly marvelous to behold. Of special comic note is Ruth Moore as the society matron determined to steer her daughter towards Nirvanov's millions and C.S. Lee as her equally greedy recording-mogul husband. It's all such good fun, it seems a pity to quibble about the candlelit Cobain vigil ending. Mawkish, sure, but when you're in such confident directorial hands, it's easy to overlook a few dramaturgical flaws.

Section 120B of IPC has been slapped also on 2 Gujarat Congress leaders
Two days after the suspended Gujarat cadre IPS officer, Sanjiv Bhatt, was released on bail, the police added the charge of "conspiracy" against him and others in the case arising out of constable K. D. Panth's complaint on which he was arrested, in the first place, on September 30.
The addition of Section 120(B) of the Indian Penal Code may create fresh problems to not only Mr. Bhatt but also PCC chief Arjun Modhvadia and State Congress legal cell vice-president Vijay Kanara, who drafted Mr. Panth's affidavit, filed before the Supreme Court-appointed amicus curiae, in support of the IPS officer's claim that he was present at a crucial February 27, 2002 meeting. It was at that meeting, held after the Godhra train carnage, that Chief Minister Narendra Modi allegedly "directed" the police to go soft on Hindu rioters.
While the police were tight-lipped on addition of the conspiracy charge in the Bhatt case, the matter came to light in an anticipatory bail application filed in the sessions court by Mr. Kanara. His advocate, B. M. Mangukiya, said the Section 120(B) charge was added even after Mr. Kanara withdrew the petition before the Gujarat High Court on Monday on an assurance from the government that he would not be arrested and that due notice would be given whenever he was called for questioning.
The sessions court scheduled the hearing on his anticipatory bail for Thursday, following yet another assurance by the public prosecutor that no immediate action would be taken against Mr. Kanara.
Mr. Panth, in his complaint of "threat and intimidation" against Mr. Bhatt, also named Mr. Modhvadia and Mr. Kanara as being among those who "influenced" him to file the "false affidavit" before the amicus curiae, claiming that the IPS officer had made him talk to the State Congress president, who told him that the Modi government would not survive for long and that the Centre had finalised plans to overthrow it.
Even during the hearing on Mr. Bhatt's bail application, special public prosecutor S. V. Raju had hinted at a "conspiracy" and submitted details of Mr. Modhvadia's phone calls to Mr. Kanara. But judge V. K. Vyas did not take cognisance of it, pointing out that mere call details would not establish what transpired during the phone talk.
"Politically motivated"
Mr. Modhvadia, in an open letter to Mr. Modi, also pointed out that as PCC president, he might have spoken to his legal cell vice-president a number of times, but linking the conversation with a "conspiracy" and Mr. Panth's complaint was a "politically motivated" move.
The Gujarat High Court Advocates' Association, in a resolution, condemned the alleged police harassment of Mr. Kanara, even as lawyers in various Jamnagar courts stayed away from work in protest against the threatened police action against their colleagues in Ahmedabad.
Besides the new charge of conspiracy, the 21-year-old case of alleged "custodial death" of a Vishwa Hindu Parishad activist at Jamjodhpur when Mr. Bhatt was posted as Assistant Superintendent of Police in Jamnagar district, is set to return to haunt him.

The world of Howler's sophomore album
By Zach McCormick
Touched feels in flux. It's one half summer-loving, one half winter doldrums. "Lady Cascade," for instance, employs beachy ba-da-das, but wallows under a waterlogged tempo. Like an old Nuggets LP on slo-mo, most of the album tries to rally from slumber, dragging listeners through hazy tracks with the mellowest of tender crescendos. The opener, "Smart Hurts," sums up the mood: "You seem so tired lately/ You think too much." Yet Spiritual Mansions are at their best when fully awake. "State Song" rumbles comfortably at midtempo, mildly hopped up on Question Mark and the Mysterians-style keyboard breakdowns. The song is also cleverly masked in a mystique that peppers the album. Take this lyric: "She's got eyes like Minnesota/ and a voice like Illinois." I hoped a trip to the liner notes might reveal some hidden meaning, but no. I'm going to imagine this means "glazed over" and "has a dorky accent." Meanwhile, "The Sweeter Side" is another upbeat diversion, a foot-stomping reverie complete with friendly trumpet lines and Beach Boys-worthy harmonies. But despite Touched's sunny highlights, Ryan Harris's droopy vocals only remind us of sludgy grey February. Perhaps we should hold our iPods close to our cheeks just to feel the glow.

We have had 2 of these donated to our shelter. The dogs love them. It's great for them to be able to get off the floor. We did have one dog rip up the bed part though.
Pros: off the floor
Cons: dogs can scratch the bed part

Great to use in shelter kennels
posted 6 years ago
These beds are really good for shelters to use so a dog doesn't have to lie on the kennel floor. Some doggies love them and some not so much.
Pros: Easy to clean
Cons: not all that comfortable

Annual Fund
Total Giving
Alumni Participation
Parent Participation
Why Give?
We have one purpose in raising money: "it's about the boys… and the adults who teach, coach, and counsel them. All of us are glad to be associated with something truly excellent, truly noble, and associated in a way that can make a difference. Without your generous support, we could not assemble such a demographically representative student body; nor would we be in a position to compensate our faculty honorably. We would not be the school we are without your benevolence".
The Annual Fund
Tuition alone does not cover the full cost of educating a boy at Roxbury Latin; it never has. In fact, for this 2014-2015 school year, tuition accounts for about 41 percent of the School's budget, with the remainder provided through income from contributions to the Annual Fund (22 percent) and from the endowment (37 percent). This year, the total budgeted cost per student is $48,824, which is almost $21,000 more than RL's tuition of $27,900; so essentially every boy at RL receives a scholarship. Like all other independent schools, Roxbury Latin relies on the philanthropic support from parents, alumni, and friends to cover this "gap" between tuition and the real cost of educating each boy.
Leadership Giving Levels
John Eliot Society: $100,000 and above
F. Washington Jarvis Society: $50,000 - $99,999
Albert H. Gordon Society: $25,000 - $49,999
Joseph Warren Society: $15,000 - $24,999
William Coe Collar Society: $10,000 - $14,999
Clarence W. Gleason Society: $5,000 - $9,999
Governor Thomas Dudley Society: $3,000 - $4,999
1645 Club: $1,645 - $2,999
Young Alumni Gift Club (first 10 years out): $300 and above
Every gift, regardless of size, makes a difference in the lives of Roxbury Latin boys.

Mom's Milk Richer in Fat, Energy After One Year
NEW YORK — A new study shows that milk from mothers who have been breastfeeding their infants for more than a year is richer in fat and energy than milk from moms who have been breastfeeding for just a few months.
The study is the first to look at the nutritional value of breast milk after prolonged breastfeeding, Dr. Dror Mandel of Tel Aviv University in Israel told Reuters Health.
"It might be that because the infant is breastfed less times a day, the milk is more concentrated," he noted in an e-mail interview.
Mandel and colleagues compared milk from 27 women who had been nursing for two to six months and 34 mothers who had been nursing for 12 to 39 months.
They report, in the journal Pediatrics, that the average fat content of milk from the shorter-duration breastfeeding group was just over 7 percent, compared to about 11 percent from the longer-duration group. A liter of milk from the women breastfeeding for a shorter period of time contained about 740 calories, compared to 880 for the women who had been breastfeeding for a year or longer.
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that mothers exclusively breastfeed their infants up to six months of age, and that nursing for a year or more will give a baby the "full benefits of breastfeeding," which include cutting rates of illnesses such as ear infections and diarrhea and reducing the risk of childhood obesity.
However, Mandel and his colleagues note in their report that "the optimal duration of breastfeeding is unknown."
While one study suggested a link between extended breastfeeding and increased heart disease risk, "many objections have been raised against this accusation," the authors point out. It would be necessary to evaluate the types of fats contained in breast milk after a year of lactation before such a possibility can be raised, they add.
They also point out that, "at the present time, the official policy of the American Academy of Pediatrics is not to put any limit on the duration of lactation."
"The results showed that the caloric contribution of breast milk to the infant diet is not negligible," Mandel added in comments to Reuters Health. "Hence, we can tell mothers that continue to breastfeed their infants that, from a caloric standpoint, their milk is of nutritional value."

Israel's Netanyahu hits snags in building team
For now, Netanyahu is pledging to court more centrist partners, believing a larger coalition will be more stable and better capable of addressing the nation's needs.
"It is inconceivable that the most challenging country in the world should suffer from instability and weak governance," Netanyahu told a welcoming ceremony for the new parliament on Tuesday. "We need stability to deal with the quality of living for the citizens of Israel, but also to guarantee something far more superior and important."
In his comments, Netanyahu laid out an ambitious agenda: He vowed to reform the country's compulsory military draft "in a way that will not tear this nation apart" and to find ways to reduce Israel's high cost of living.
He said Israel must face "new and mounting threats," a reference to Iran's suspect nuclear program and the turmoil sweeping the region. Netanyahu also pledged to pursue a "secure, stable and realistic peace" with the Palestinians.
Despite Netanyahu's appeals for unity, any one of these issues could rip apart a future coalition. Ending the country's contentious system of giving out draft exemptions to Jewish seminary students would alienate potential ultra-Orthodox partners. Failing to do so would drive away centrists like Lapid, who made the issue a centerpiece of his campaign.
Negotiations with the Palestinians are just as contentious.
Peace talks remained frozen during Netanyahu's just-completed four-year term, and he is under heavy international pressure to get negotiations back on track. When President Barack Obama visits in the spring, he can be expected to increase the pressure on Israel to come forward with an initiative.
Restarting peace talks with the Palestinians will likely require new concessions by Netanyahu that would be opposed by his hard-line base of support. Netanyahu's own party is dominated by lawmakers who reject concessions to the Palestinians. A likely partner, the pro-settler Jewish Home, even advocates annexation of large parts of the West Bank, the heartland of any future Palestinian state.
Yet Lapid, among others, has said he will not participate in a government that is not conducting serious peace negotiations.

More than two-thirds of the homes and buildings in some areas had been flattened, said Kalolaine Kavaefiafi of the child welfare charity Plan International.
Cyclone Ian hit Tonga on Saturday with gusts up to 178mph. The storm was later downgraded from category, five, the most destructive category of cyclone, to category four, with gusts of up to 155mph.
An aerial survey of the damage was carried out yesterday to assess the destruction and two navy patrol boats were sent to the disaster area, Tonga's director of emergencies Leveni Aho said.
He said of the damage: "It's pretty bad." A state of emergency remained in effect for two of Tonga's three island groups, Vava'u and Ha'apai.
Mr Aho said one person died on Lifuka island in the central Ha'apai group and many homes were damaged.

Buffalo approach the Taj
Leaving Bandhavgar showed us how remote the park was. We opted to drive to Kati Junction and take the train to Delhi. After changing our tickets using Indian Railways electronic ticketing system, we embarked on what we were told would be a one and a half hour ride. This turned out to be a two and half hour drive over some very bouncy, badly maintained roads. Having budgeted two hours for the journey, we had to harangue our poor driver into making the train time. With only a few minutes to spare, we arrived at a filth pit of a level crossing to find our way blocked. We waited helplessly for twenty minutes until a colossal freight train had chugged by. We were still in the game it would seem. We sped up to the station and went through the police security to check. Humping my backpack and our goodies bag, I breathlessly found the "deputy assistant chief station master in charge at that moment" (my term) and asked what the eta of the Mahakaushal Express was.
"One and a half hours late" He said authoritatively.
"But it's only one and a half hours to Jabalpur, where it originated?" I asked
Muslims at prayer in the Mosque inside the Taj mahal Complex
incredulously. The deputy assistant station master looked at me sideways, smiled and said:
"some such problem is there" And then looked at the ceiling the platform.
In Indian Transport Speak this can mean anything from the driver having indigestion to a major derailment. I took the hint and changed tack.
"Ok. No problem, is there a canteen here?"
"Canteen is there" He nodded his head from side to side"
"Might I ask where there is?"
"Yes, meals are available after the red sign. It is very good canteen"
I looked at where he was pointing and identified the red sign. Hauling our bags we dropped them at a table and ordered two vegetarian thalis. They came in at Rs 22 each. About 48 US cents. After ten years, this was still a bargain. The delay gave us the chance to explore Katni Railway station and to observe the great Indian travelling public. This would be our last long haul Indian railways journey and by now, we had got most of the act off pat. We knew where to go, when to go, what to carry and more importantly what not to take. The lower middle class poor sat on the
A couple by the Taj
platform floor waiting patiently. A train would pull in, and some would get on, the train would leave and the rest would sit on the platform. When some people got on, more would appear and take their place. At no time did the platform come close to being cleared. Every now and then the upper middle class would descend from a train. Short fat bellied men in check shirts, followed by a plethora of elegant youngish ladies in shalvar khameez would step down from the A/C carriages; shout at an elderly porter to carry all of their bags and then march off down the platform with their prestigious bellies preceding the parade. It was all a bit comical.
The Mahakaushal was even later than we thought, but it did arrive and we boarded and fell asleep. I woke up, clickety clacking over the brown earth of India. I now realised what the conservationists meant when they talked of Indian's barren nature. All of this used to be forest and was now earth. The Hindu Madrasi conservationist travelling with us explained:
"This is all due to cows"
While it was pretty it was a little depressing, and so I
A rotund view of the taj
returned to reading my Nelson De Mille Novel. I had seen enough of North India in my life to not have to hang out of the door to take photos. At 1000hrs, the Mahakausahal pulled into Agra Cantonment, and we broke our plans and journey to disembark. A phone call had booked the travellers rest house and they in turn had sent a rickshaw wallah to collect us, but perhaps more importantly to keep us away from the touts waiting to wilfully misdirect us to another less salubrious establishment.
Agra was a funny place for me. When I last came here ten years ago, it had been with an Israeli Yoga Instructor, who had insisted on seeing the Taj Mahal. It had been closed and that was that. I trained it up to Delhi and flew off to Africa to start a diving centre. This time, we had done our research and, after a wash up, used our inbound rickshaw wallah to take us to the Taj. Agra was a distinct change to the rural farms of Madhya Pradesh. Everything was written in Urdu and Hindi and English. Tourists abounded, with signs advertising CD burning, Israeli food and internet.
The classic post card view, which really does exist
Our driver told us that at least forty percent of Agra was muslim. He parked up and told us where to enter the Taj complex. Strangely enough, this meant walking down a filthy narrow alley and past a well defended CRPF outpost. Five constables sat behind a mountain of sandbags on a narrow bench with FN rifles between their legs. It was an effective deterrent; the old 7.62 NATO bullets would surely cut a swathe of death in that small alley. Being a tourist, they smiled at me and I went down for the final security and ticket check at the gate.
We entered through an arch into a pretty courtyard full of tourists, then we walked further on to another more impressive arch, and then popped out to see the classic view of the Taj Mahal that every picture book in the world sports. In spite of the pressing masses of Indians, Arabs, Turks and Australians, the sight was somewhat awe inspiring. I pushed some Pole off me and managed to take a good photograph, before some Indian did the same to me. We moved right and advanced up one of the long quiet green lawns. As we
How do you capture something so stunning,,, so we try
came closer the Taj became more beautiful. Shah Jahan's architect had known what he was doing. From every angle, from every side, from every elevation, the Taj was something else. To the right and left were two red stone mosque buildings that were fit to be monuments in their own right. The Taj was one of the few Islamic monuments in India where there was no state sponsored intrusion of the hindu faith. There were no ashrams, no adverts for hindu temples, and the entire complex was run by a troop of whistle toting muslim guards.
Midday came along, and the Imam called upon the faithful to pray. We all wandered in and I found myself sandwiched between a bunch of Turks and Indians. Just as I cleaned my mind up for prayer, it occurred to me that this was the story of my life, sandwiched between Turks and Indians.
At last, we had seen enough, we now had to find an Indian Airlines office to get a print out of our e tickets. This involved taking our auto to some hotel, not finding the office, taking the auto to the airport, and being refused entry by an
The Taj as seenf rom Agra Fort
idiot of an Indian Air force Corporal. He was so lacking in self confidence that he would not tell us, we could not enter the airport to buy a ticket, he told the driver and walked away in an embarrassed fashion. At this stage, we had a booking, but no piece of paper. And India like china require passengers to have printed off a paper copy of the electronic ticket/ The whole process is ludicrous and has the passenger holding more pieces of a4 paper than he ever did with a normal ticket. I suppose that this merely passes on the cost of printing to the passenger.
The frustration of not being able to find anyone who could answer our questions was complete, and so we went to Agra fort at sunset to see the Taj in the sunset. The next morning, we had our final train journey at 0500 and so slept early.
The intercity express was a standard Indian train. Filthy in second class, reasonable in air conditioned class. Thankfully Agra station was quiet at 0445 hrs. A railway officer had my berth so I sat and drank sweet tea and waited for the express to

pull out. It did so almost on time, and only took four and a half hours to reach Delhi. A mere half hour late, which in North India was positively early. The approach to Delhi reminded me of the approach to Peking. Flat plains, with concrete settlements and thousands of high tension wires. The smog of the big city seemed to reach down south into the country side. Farmers were fewer and the concrete built slowly and steadily up. Finally, we pulled into the South Delhi Railway Station called Hazrat Nizamuddin. This station served the predominantly muslim area that shared the name. We stayed on board and the train continued through Delhi, to New Delhi railway station. Here we disembarked, wandered past the crowds and stood in line for the pre paid rickshaws. All of the taxis were only interested in airport runs. The word "pre paid" had been scratched out, and the Delhi traffic police constables were clearly complicit in the scams that were going on at the station. Again, we squeezed into an auto and made our way to Karol Bagh and the hotel Rahul palace. (Rs2300 very pleasant).
Our next day involved finding photographers and Indian Airlines offices. The electronic revolution meant that Indian Airlines was now air India and had closed all of their offices. You had to buy a ticket from a travel agent or on the web. And if you had bought a ticket on the web, you could not print it in an office, you had to get a copy of the ticket online and print it. This procedure was not laborious, but rather secret.
We slept early that night in anticipation of our early start the next day.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Obama administration is condemning the killing of a Palestinian teenager as a "despicable act" and is calling on the perpetrators to be brought to justice.
White House press secretary Josh Earnest said the United States "condemns in the strongest possible terms" the death of 17-year-old Mohammed Abu Khdeir, which followed the discovery in the West Bank on Monday of the bodies of three abducted Israeli teenagers.
"We hope to swiftly see the guilty parties brought to justice," Earnest told reporters. "We call on the government of Israel and the Palestinian Authority to take all necessary steps to prevent an atmosphere of revenge and retribution. People who undertake acts of vengeance will only destabilize an already volatile and emotional situation."
Earnest declined to say whether the U.S. considers the teen's death an act of revenge for the three Israeli teens, but said the U.S. doesn't want to see the situation spiral out of control and lead to further violence.
At the State Department, spokeswoman Jen Psaki said the U.S. is not conducting an independent investigation into the killings in either of the cases, and indicated that Washington is relying on information from Israeli and Palestinian officials.
Israeli authorities urged caution, saying the body still had not been identified and the circumstances of the death remained under investigation.
Obama's national security adviser, Susan Rice, said in a series of posts on Twitter that the U.S. is paying close attention to the investigation. And Secretary of State John Kerry issued a statement calling the killing "sickening" and said "there are no words to convey adequately our condolences to the Palestinian people."
"The world has too often learned the hard way that violence only leads to more violence and at this tense and dangerous moment, all parties must do everything in their power to protect the innocent and act with reasonableness and restraint, not recrimination and retribution," Kerry said.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has accused Israeli extremists of killing the teen, whose body was found in a Jerusalem forest.
Psaki also repeated what she described as indications that the militant group Hamas was involved in the abduction and deaths of the three Israeli teens.
"It's also important to note that Hamas' leadership publicly praised the kidnappings, and we've seen a pattern of events over the course of quite some time that we would also point to," Psaki said.
Associated Press writer Josef Federman in Jerusalem contributed to this report.

"I had been looking for Save the Dates on several websites when I finally came across Wedding Paper Divas after seeing information about them I got an email via one of the bridal sites I am a part of. I am so glad I did. I wanted to have Postcard style Save the Dates and Wedding Paper Divas is one of the few websites that I found to have them! This design with the Looped Monogram is perfect! I love having the calender with the wedding date circled, another thing I was looking for, and I love seeing our initials stand out as well. Having the three picture design was nice as well as there were a few pictures from our engagement session that I wanted to use and I was able to. Once I placed an order, I received the proof in a couple of business days and approved it right away. I wasn't expecting the cards until the week of March 1 to March 7 but I received them yesterday! Such great quick service and I will definitely order from Wedding Paper Divas in the future."
"This postcard was absolutely perfect! We had a tree in our picture so the heart with the initials on it matched up perfectly with the tree. It was great quality and everyone who said they'd gotten one talked about how cute it was and how much they loved it!!"
"Used the "save the date" card as an invite to the wedding celebration. Was able to edit words on the entire card and change it to fit my need. The design team was great and even changed the color of the block on the bottom of the card. Couldn't ask for better quality and an easier process!"
"When ordering these Save the Date's we did custom colors, Navy and Meadow, to match our wedding colors. They turned out perfect and we were offered two options, one with Navy being the focus and one with Meadow being the focus and it really helped in making a decision. Our designer was very easy to work with! We also received the cards 3 days early which was a great surprise!"
"Not only did we LOVE the design, we also appreciate the customer service assistance. At first, I was a little unsure because I was afraid the images will come up small and too hard to see. I called customer service and the rep was able to pull up my account and review my order. He gave me suggested changes which made it perfect. I also liked the back where we can personalize a message. Everything turned out perfect including the quality and print of our save-the-date postcards. Thanks again and we look forward to using Wedding Paper Divas in the future!"

Nothing spectacular and there are much better Italian eateries within a mile or two also on Seamless. They also need to adjust prices on side items like soda and desserts. You aren't a fine dining establishment!!

My sweet tooth had a strong craving for Italian. I am so happy I chose Caffe Carrera. The creme brulee was so perfect and went well with the cap. From the looks of it this place is really authentic so I am looking forward to trying dinner. The staff was really nice and there was metered parking in front.

I've been to this restaurant once before ordering it on seamless. The food was hit or miss and the service was horrible. I mean, really horrible. I decided to give them another try so I ordered from seamless. The food was better. (I guess for the same quality, if you dine in, it doesn't taste as good as when you take it home.) I also owe them an apology. I was supposed to pick up the food at 2:30pm but I didn't go there until 3:30pm. (I didn't know they close from 3pm to 5:30pm daily) When I picked up iin the evening, they had already cooked new food for me. Thanks guys!

Once upon a time, revenge films were a Bollywood staple. The formula was simple: the heroine or the hero's sister would get raped, his unwed mother would be abandoned by his father or his dad would get brutally murdered. Driven mad with grief and with nothing left to lose, he would wreak havoc on his enemy.
Now years later, a revenge film releases and the audience readily laps it up. As good a time as any to ask filmmakers about their favourite revenge flicks, right?
Anurag Basu
PICKED: Madhumati
WHY: The whole theme was very new and fresh then. Films like Om Shanti Om and Karz have developed their stories from it. There are so many plots and sub-plots in the film with so many twists and turns - including reincarnation, a ghost, Madhubala's lookalike... And the interesting thing was that Bengali director Ritwik Ghatak who was known to write art films, had written Madhumati - a hardcore commercial film. It's essentially a revenge story with reincarnation as the subplot.
Farah Khan
PICKED: Sholay and Om Shanti Om
WHY: Everything works in Sholay. If the story is not strong enough at the core, nothing works but Sholay had that. It's the most entertaining revenge drama. My other favorite revenge drama is my film Om Shanti Om - it has re-incarnation and has the perfect formula of revenge set in a very different way.
Mahesh Bhatt
PICKED: Sholay
WHY: In the original version Ramesh Sippy had Gabbar killed by Sanjeev Kumar, but because the Censor Board in the 70s were very strict and didn't like heroes taking law into their own hands, had asked the climax to be changed. So a very reluctant Ramesh Sippy had to re-shoot the climax with the cops added to ot. But even with the diluted climax Sholay still remains the mother of all revenge dramas.
Mohit Suri
PICKED: Sholay
WHY: Apart from being a cult film because of its memorable dialogues and the characterisation, Sholay is a timeless classic, which can be watched even 10 years from now. Gabbar, Thakur, Jai and Veeru, not to mention Basanti, are names that have been etched in the memory of millions of Indians since decades.
Sajid Khan
PICKED: Sholay
WHY: because its a saga of revenge over a period of years. Sanjeev Kumar's helplessness in unable to take revenge himself and hiring mercenaries to take his revenge is a plot that is very interesting and gripping. The Magnificent Seven based on the Seven Samurai is not about revenge, but protecting the villagers. But in Sholay, the idea is to catch Gabbar who killed and massacred his entire family. Revenge at its best.
Milan Luthria
PICKED: Zanjeer
WHY: It has to be! Based on the brilliant novel Death Rides A Horse, Zanjeer has it all! The smouldering intensity of Mr. Bachchan as a cop who after the brutal murder of his family, seeks some answers with the help of a street-wise knife sharpening girl (Jaya Bhaduri), and a Pathan (Pran). The flamboyance of the underworld don Teja (Ajit) and a brilliant screenplay about how he gets him.
Vikram Bhatt
PICKED: Deewar
WHY: It has the best screenplay ever written. What I love about the film is that it was a film where the protagonist wanted to take revenge not against a person, but against the world.
Punit Malhotra
PICKED: Karz and Yaadon Ki Baraat.
WHY: Karz is about reincarnation and revenge. I would love to remake Yaadon Ki BaraatI am a complely commercial viewer where I always root for the hero. Like Ek Villain in the scene where both Riteish and Sidharth come face to face and Sid beats up Riteish, I loved the climax in Yaadon Ki Baraat where the brothers eventually get their hands on the villain and beat him up. It's drama at its peak! Hollywood-wise, I love The Dark Knight.
Sanjay Gupta
PICKED: Death Wish
WHY: It was my first vigilante revenge drama and has stayed with me since childhood. Most recently, my favourite revenge saga is Kill Bill for all the obvious reasons.
Rensil d'Silva
PICKED: Cape Fear
WHY: Because usually good guys in the movies are wronged and they come back for revenge. Here Robert de Niro's character was repulsive and sadistic. When he returns for revenge, we root for him. De Niro and Martin Scorcese are an unbeatable combo.
Vipul Shah
PICKED: Escape To Victory
WHY: It deals with underdogs winning against the mighty without violence. The climax is warm and moving.
Hansal Mehta
PICKED: Inglorious Basterds
WHY: Terrific characters. Quirky, poetic, lots of fun. Love its structuring and audacity.
Kunal Deshmukh
PICKED: The Gladiator
WHY: It's one of my all-time favourite films. I fell in love with Russell Crowe's acting. Although you're watching this big-budgeted spectacle the film's heart is never missing. Long after the film was over I carried it home."
Ken Ghosh
PICKED: Braveheart
WHY: It merged a romantic story with patriotism on an epic scale.
Ajay Bahl
PICKED: True Grit
WHY: It is truly gritty and gripping. I rediscovered the actor in Kurt Russell.
Tigmanshu Dhulia
PICKED: The Godfather
WHY: Though the plot centres on revenge, the world createD in the film explains that revenge is not just something personal and that it is a tradition that must be taken to its logical culmination. It was all very convincingly handled by Coppola."
Vijay Krishna Acharya
PICKED: Kill Bill
WHY: It exalts the revenge genre. Superb characters and fantastic dialogues. Uma Thurman is a goddess.
Bejoy Nambiar
PICKED: Shawshank Redemption and Sleepers
WHY: In both films, the revenge angle is well-drawn and planned and ultimately, very satisfying.
Aanand L Rai
PICKED: Kill Bill
WHY: Because the director makes you believe that revenge is mandatory....or should I saw woman-datory? Uma Thurman's character takes the vendetta to a level where it becomes our concern.
Anees Bazmee
PICKED: The Godfather
WHY: Mario Puzo wrote an amazing novel. And Francis Ford Coppola did a magnificent job of putting the novel on screen. Marlon Brando and Al Pacino lived their roles.
