Athens, Greece
My Rating
The Delphi day trip was very enjoyable and informative. Our guide was pleasant and knowledgeable and was happy to answer questions.
We booked the trip to Delphi as a day tour because we had already pre-booked 5 days of accommodation in Athens. If we were doing it again we would book a tour of at least 3 days through Mycenae, Epidaurus, Nafplio and Meteora as well ad Delphi and the lovely mountain villages around it. Delphi in one day via coach is 2/3 coach time for 1/3 sightseeing time.
The tour operators did a good job within the time and distance constraints, including the need to get the group back into Athens before an evening protest blocked the city centre.
Rome, Italy
My Rating
The driver was very polite and the shuttle was in very good order.
We had a small concern in that we were told to be at the pick-up for a scheduled 0700 departure. However, when we arrived at the meeting point at 0645 the driver was there and had already enquired for our whereabouts. This made us wonder if he would have still been there at 0700.
All in all the trip to the airport was pleasant and quick, everything that we would expect from a shuttle service. We would recommend, but counsel travellers to take the precaution of being at the meeting point early.
Rome, Italy
My Rating
This tour was our second with the local operator Dark Rome who we would highly recommend. The skip the line access made a huge difference to ouyr experience.
Our Vatican guide was David who was enthusiastic, informative, a bit cheeky (in a good funny way) and excellent at leading and shepherding a group with diverse interests and abilities in an extremely crowded environment.
Taking in the Vatican and its precincts in a half day tour is ambitious, and information overload is a real risk. David really distilled the mountain of content into a good concise and interesting experience.
Rome, Italy
My Rating
Our Rome and Colosseum tour was the first with the local operator Dark Rome. Initially, we were somewhat nonplussed with the throng of people milling without much guidance to join their respective groups. However, the planets aligned and the Dark Rome folks got all of us away before our scheduled times.
Our guide was the fabulous Claudia. Although our group size was more than we expected at 28, she was amazingly inclusive, informative and considerate. When a sunny or shady spot would make the group more comfortable, she knew where it was and pointed it out. Clauida's narratives helped to make all of the history of the Colosseum and its precincts very accessible and relateable.
The skip the line experience meant that we had all of the half day in tour content and not in queueing. We would highly recommend this tour.
Florence, Italy
My Rating
We booked the Florence full-day tour option with lunch. We had different guides for the morning and afternoon tours. Each tour had about 20 participants.
Our morning tour guide was a very cordial and informative fellow with a vague resemblence to the late Peter Sellers (a bonus). We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and the walk through the various precincts. We particularly liked the square with the foundling home.
Only 6 people took the lunch option, although the lunch was very nice and we would recommend it. The food and service were both good and well worth the price difference.
Our afternoon guide was was a delightful lady who was passionate about Florence, its history and its art. This really came to the fore at the Uffizi Gallery where she gave a very engaging account of the development of art through the exhibits on display.
The only minor concern we had with the morning and afternoon tours was that we had to wait up to 20 minutes in queues at Academia and the Uffizzi. While this is much better than the very long queues that idividuals face, it doesn't beat true skip the line tours.
We would recommend both the morning and afternoon tours, but advise travellers to be prepared for waits at the major museums.
Florence, Italy
My Rating
Marco and Alex were fabulous guides on this amazing (long) day tour.
This tour was a full day from Florence comprised of about 3 hours of coach travel and 7 hours at Cinque Terra.
Alex provided most of the commentaries en route which were intersting but not overwhelmingly continuous. The tour included walking, train and boat legs between the villages. The walking was somewhat demanding due to steepness of the alternative route after landslides had blocked part of the usual walking tracks. Marco was excellent in leading a goup with diverse capabilites, and in maintaining their interest and good humour. His narratives on the villages and the sights was very engaging and enlightening.
The villages themselves were lovely and we would consider (and recommend) few days based in any one of them to explore the area in more depth.
The included lunch was very nice, and the venue provided amazing views to the village and coast below.
The views of the coastline and villages throughtout the day were nothing short of spectacular.
We would highly reccommmed this tour to anybody wanting to get a overview of Cinque Terra, but be warned that the appetiser may leave you wanting the rest of the meal.
Milan, Italy
My Rating
Milan was a very pleasant surprise. This half day tour really set the scene for our four days here.
We covered a number of sights on foot and by coach including the Duomo, the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele, La Scala, the Castello Sforzesco and the Last Supper.
Although this was only a half day tour the pace was comfortable, and the commentaries were informative and engaging. In addition to the main highlights the commentaries included contextual information "in passing" throughout the old city.
We would highly recommend this tour to anybody making a first visit to Milan as it really provided us with a great appreciation of the city, its history, and what it has to offer to visitors.

New tool helps lift FAA collaboration
Tuesday - 6/1/2010, 6:00am EDT
An online knowledge management system has led to better collaboration at the Federal Aviation Administration, according to a government official.
Project Manager Kirk Babcock tells Government Computer News the tool allows the more than 200 crew members in the FAA's Aviation System Standards organization to stay on the same page, even when dispersed in several different locations.
The Aircrew Resource Center allows FAA staff to maintain aircraft, mission and planning information all in one spot online.
"Having seven different locations, we were actually interpreting all the guidance differently and you actually develop a culture in each one of those areas," Babcock said. "The crews have really liked this because this whole system they can actually get to from any computer any place in the world as long as it has Internet connection."
For example, Babcock said the technology was used to coordinate between several government and non-government groups involved with air facilities in Antarctica that his organization needed to inspect.

Barbara Boxer hits Condi below the belt
- By Carolyn O'HaraCarolyn O'Hara is a senior editor at Foreign Policy.
While questioning Condoleezza Rice at yesterday's Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing, Sen. Barbara Boxer implied that Condi isn't going to pay a personal price for sending more troops to Iraq because she is a single female:
Now, the issue is who pays the price. Who pays the price? I'm not going to pay a personal price. My kids are too old and my grandchild is too young. You're not going to pay a particular price, as I understand it, with an immediate family. So who pays the price? The American military and their families."
Not-so-subtle dig alert. According to Political Punch, Boxer's office insists she was just trying to draw attention to the fact that few policymakers' families are affected by the war in Iraq. But here's my question: Would Sen. Boxer dare make this point to a single general without kids? Or another administration official, say, like Stephen Hadley (who has two teenage daughters) in a hearing? Aside from being in bad taste, it's just egregiously petty politics. The insinuation here, whether intended by Sen. Boxer or not, is two-fold: 1) There must be something wrong with a woman who chooses not to have a family and 2) that such a decision brings into question the woman's judgment.
There's also some ugly foreshadowing here. Condi is going to increasingly face this question in the next few years if she has political ambitions. The fact that she isn't married and has no children is a liability in American politics. It shouldn't be, but it is. The second is Boxer's insinuation that people without family members in the military may be less capable of critically judging a situation or more easily convinced to place troops in harm's way. I'm no fan of the surge plan. But implying that because Condi doesn't have a child of military age, she's less qualified or incapable of comprehending the gravity of decisions is just hitting below the belt.

After Obama's speech in Cairo yesterday, he arranged a roundtable with eight journalists. Yedioth Ahronoth, an Israeli paper, was invited to send a correspondent as were several Arab papers. Nahum Barnea reports (translation):
After Obama's speech yesterday at Cairo University, we gathered, six senior journalists from all over the Muslim world and I, the reporter for Yedioth Ahronoth, around a circular table in a side room. The president wanted to give us an interview.
The original group had eight. The Syrian did not show after hearing that a reporter from Israel had been invited. The Lebanese, Naoum Sarkis, had been sitting with us all at the front of the hall but when he realized where I was from and whom I was representing, he passed on the opportunity and fled.
Lebanon and Syria, two countries that share a common border with Israel, respectively act as a state-sponsor and base for terror against Israel. The reporters from these countries would not even sit in the same room as a Jew -- even after bathing in Obama's healing rhetoric. Other Arab journalists did stay, including a Palestinian, to hear Obama compare Bibi to Nixon. "Only the anti-Communist Nixon could have opened the doors to China," Obama said. Of course, Nixon was also forced to resign.

Crime, Law Professors, Law Schools
You may think law professors have easy lives, but the truth is, they really don't. Tossing papers down a staircase to grade them is rough. Writing articles that no one will read aside from poor law review techciters is demoralizing. Teaching "Law and [Insert Noun Here]" to students in search of easy A's is likely painful. Getting pepper sprayed in the face while teaching one of those classes is excruciating.
Things can get crazy pretty quickly when law professors at Top 50 law schools get attacked during class. Where did this happen, and was the law prof injured? Keep reading to find out…
Professor Tyler Cowen is one of the most distinguished and prominent members of the George Mason Law faculty (in large part due to his popular blog, Marginal Revolution, and his column for the New York Times). Yesterday, things were going just swell in his Law and Literature class — until an unknown assailant entered his classroom, hopped on a desk, said he was about to make a citizen's arrest, and proceeded to pepper spray Cowen in the face. WJLA ABC7 has additional details:
Cowen ran into the hall, and the intruder chased him until an off-duty officer who happened to be a student in class caught him at one of the building's exits and held him until police arrived. …
12 to 15 people, including the professor, were briefly treated by medics for breathing issues.
Apparently Cowen didn't know the guy, but thankfully he and his students are all okay. GMU Law says the suspect isn't enrolled at the school. No one is sure how he managed to get in with pepper spray and a stun gun.
Here's some additional video coverage of the incident from WJLA ABC7:
We won't find out who this mysterious man is until he's formally charged (which we imagine will happen later today), but we'd love to know why he was acting out every law student's deepest and darkest fantasy.

Borderlands 2
Gearbox scared of making Borderlands 3
- Back To:
- Board List
- Topic List
- Topic Archived
Randy says all kinds of things like "Should there be a BL3 and what should it" and "What we imagine it should be is so crazy and scary, we're not sure we'd succeed". It's kinda nice that they have such big ambitions, but they sound so scared, I wonder if they'll do it. He also went on to say that their creative priorities comes first over expectations and that needs respect..
I dunno, what's your guy's take on the interview?
Do you know Tri-Edge?

Money > fear
They will make b3
Borderlands 2 is such a huge and amazing game. They just have no idea right now how they are going to top it.
Official boards are full of scrubs.
Example, dude who died trying to reenact the opening scene from bl2.
"Let's immortalized his stupidity,"
I must be doing something right if I'm even on your mind.
They could easily top BL2 with a next gen Borderlands. Better cell shaded graphics, more loot, more enemies on screen, bigger area, maybe even go full open world. I think Randy is just saying that, they know they have a solid fan base there is no way Gearbox is "scarred" of making BL3.
GT....Clemson1Tigers......Pawn - Claire/Strider Lvl 50
Sounds like he's expressing the sentiment that the hardest thing to do in this world is to live up to the expectations others have of you- I believe there will be a BL3 but not for another 3-4 years...
Behind every good deed lies an ulterior motive...
I really hope it takes about 3-4 years for bl3 to come out. It needs as much time as it can get, especially with battleborn being developed, which i am also excited for.
But i agree, i think he's just playing everything up. it would not be hard at all to surpass bl2. But he knows a game won't be made for a while, so why not say all those things? Build it up for a little bit.
Not scared, just attention.
On the Rock Band boards if i dont specify an instrument, its because theyre dead.
BL1 loot (including scaling, elemental system, drops, etc) + dat polished BL2 game play = BL3 aka THE GOAT
make it happen, GBX.

This. I hope the loot system is a bit more forgiving. Meaning rares and legendaries actually drop every once in a while. I would also like a vault hunter to have a pet around all the time like a skag or something. And a Torgue shotgun that talks with Mr Torgue's voice would be awesome.

United We Scam
In 1849 William Thompson, a man of genteel appearance, was arrested by the New York City police. Compared with several recent big cons--the Enron boondoggle, the subprime mortgage swindle--the scam that got Thompson into trouble with the law was astonishingly simple, and his booty so penny ante that his arrest wouldn't merit a mention in today's tabloids. Thompson persuaded his marks to "lend" him their gold watches as a token of their confidence in him--tokens that, in fact, he had no intention of returning. Back then, however, Thompson's small con became notorious, first in New York City and then throughout the country. Once a mere confidence man, Thompson was touted as "The Confidence Man," and he so relished his celebrity that he scheduled interviews with the press from his cell in the Tombs, Manhattan's notorious municipal prison. One visitor reported that he was led to Thompson's cell by "two country looking individuals. When they arrived at the landing in the second tier, they were accosted by our hero, who sat in the keeper's chair, in this way, 'Gentlemen, have either of you a cigar? I am the Confidence Man.' "
Why this media frenzy? At the time of Thompson's arrest, the United States was alive with the spirit of enterprise. Vast lands were being opened to settlement, commercial farming and mercantile undertakings of all sorts. Towns and cities rose up overnight. New turnpikes, canals, bridges, dockyards and railroads gave the market a vast geographical reach. Indeed, it was during the antebellum era that the marketplace first assumed its position as the country's lodestar. Previously most economic transactions had been local. They were conducted between people who knew and trusted each other as family members, neighbors and fellow villagers, who followed long-established routines and relied on barter or tangible pieces of gold and silver as means of exchange. But in Jacksonian America, perfect strangers separated by great distances entered more often and more freely into untried and faintly mysterious kinds of business relations. These new contractual arrangements involved untested technologies, undertakings of unprecedented size like the Erie Canal and risky investments in distant unsettled places like the Ohio Valley. In this new world, one increasingly populated by anonymous, highly mobile, self-interested people, there was nothing more precious than the confidence that these contractual promises would be kept. America was brimming over with confidence. It seemed an indigenous national instinct, a fervent faith in the notion that Americans could get rich and reinvent themselves while doing it--if one was audacious enough to take the risk of trusting a stranger. Confidence was a form of equality of opportunity open to the bold--Manifest Destiny without all the heavy breathing about democracy and divine election.
Yet even as this new economy expanded, Jacksonian Americans were plagued by a crisis of confidence. What would happen if all these strangers didn't keep their word? What if a land broker's Elysian field turned out to be a malarial swamp? What if your railroad shares entitled you to a stake in nothing but two streaks of rust? What if the canal in which you were an investor was nothing but a fifty-mile-long bone-dry rut? What if a town promoter's map depicting the churches, schools, stores, hotels and theaters of a New Jerusalem in some Midwestern outback was nothing more than a figment of his felonious imagination? More disconcerting still, these dealings inveigled people in an economy lubricated by paper currencies that no one could entirely trust. What if the currency issued by some faraway bank was worth no more than the useless tract of land the banker had recklessly speculated in, leaving not only the bank's depositors high and dry but fleecing everyone else unfortunate enough to hold the bank's paper? What if, indeed? Who do you trust?
During the quarter-century leading up to the Civil War, commonly identified as the takeoff stage of American capitalism, there were several troughs of panic and depression: a prolonged and deep one in 1837, following years of wild land speculation, and another in 1857. That year Herman Melville published The Confidence-Man: His Masquerade, perhaps the best known if least read example of a large literature: novels, memoirs, travelogues and plays devoted to exploring the era's crisis of confidence. Melville's gaze, as one might expect, was a coruscating one. In his novel a con artist reappears in different guises--land agent, herb doctor, stock speculator, etc.--aboard a steamboat headed from St. Louis to New Orleans. For Melville, all of American society could be likened to a confidence game, but none of his con artist's marks are the kind of unsuspecting folk whom William Thompson fleeced.
Melville understood that a confidence man's thievery depends on the willing collaboration of his mark, and a successful swindle requires a world of malignant innocence where people harbor the sneaky, illicit belief that fast money can be made by skirting the moral rigors and renunciations of the work ethic. Melville's confidence man meets men on the make whose cupidity and moral slipperiness make them ripe pickings. They are willfully credulous souls in pursuit of their own aggrandizement. Each mark's motivation may be ingenuous, idealistic even; after all, each is merely in a footrace to catch up with the American dream, to realize his own manifest destiny, the New World's promise of limitless opportunity for every man. Still, even the most innocent (that is to say, least calculating) mark approaches the confidence man with a certain foreboding: something feels not quite right; something shady hovers nearby--but that something is very hard to resist. In Melville's eyes, whether in the realm of politics, religion, philosophy, literature, philanthropy or commerce, confidence was a "masquerade," a devil's game, a phenomenon that called into question not only the underlying premise of a market economy but the very moral and existential fabric of the self and society.
Melville's devilish protagonist casts a long shadow, one that falls back past William Thompson--who, some have claimed, was the inspiration for Melville's novel--to the narrator of the memoir Sheppard Lee, Written by Himself, published in 1836. Its author, Robert Montgomery Bird, was a doctor and a writer. He was admired by Edgar Allan Poe and collaborated with the period's most famous actor, Edwin Forrest, on several successful plays. Sheppard Lee, which Bird published a year before breaking with Forrest, is a rollicking satire about the transmigration of the self in Jacksonian America. During Sheppard's strange odyssey, all of the era's cherished, self-congratulatory maxims about the heroic individual, equality, the work ethic and invincible optimism are mocked mercilessly. Jacksonian democracy comes in for an especially withering comeuppance, perhaps in part because Bird considered himself a Whig.
The offspring of middling farmers in New Jersey, Sheppard quickly fritters away his inheritance, the family homestead, because he is allergic to work--"dull and disagreeable labour." Like many of his neighbors, he has a taste for get-rich-quick schemes but is not cunning enough to stay out of trouble or spot those plotting to take advantage of him. More hapless than roguish, he's utterly lacking in the ambition and energy, not to mention the moral appetite, for hard work that is supposed to animate every red-blooded American. His situation grown dire, he tries to recoup his losses by going into politics. He thinks of it as pure charade, nothing more than inflated invective aimed at banks and aristocrats (he's apparently joined the local Jacksonian Democratic Party), which he parrots eagerly to curry favor. He is cheated out of the spoils of office by cleverer men, and then he blithely joins the opposition party but with no better result.
Creditors hot on his trail, Sheppard, while desperately chasing a rumor about Captain Kid's buried treasure, finds himself dead, but not truly dead. Instead, he is rescued by an act of infernal intervention: he discovers he has the power to transmigrate his soul or spirit, which up to this point has been wandering about the countryside in some hard-to-pin-down disembodied state, into the body of someone recently deceased. After some momentary disorientation, with amazing alacrity Sheppard's spirit settles into the corpse of the deceased Squire Higginson, who, as the devil's justice would have it, had long made a habit of mocking Sheppard's sorry state. The Squire is a man of substance, and Sheppard's mouth waters at the prospect of taking over his wealth and persona.

" Brand: Palmers / Type: Conditioner / What it does: Repairs / Product line: Palmers Coconut Oil "
* Prices may differ from that shown
Like a true Barbie, I love bleaching my hair... and as well as bleaching my hair I LOVE to put a lot of toners on my hair to get rid of the brashy yellow hair look. However these things take a toll on the overall condition of my hair... thankfully my hair is quite thick and is quite durable with the things I put it through... but the colour can sometimes make it look like straw (I like it to be a pastel white colour)...
My usual toner is a professional colour that salons use - L'oreal P02 - but on a recent Amazon binge I decided to try a Directions toner in white - I had an idea it would work really well as I have tried some of their wild red colours in the past. Sadly the toner did not do anything for my hair and I had to end up buying my regular toner anyway... but one good thing that came out of the purchase was the Amazon seller sent me two free sample sachet's of Palmers Coconut Oil Formula Vitamin E conditioner - likely because they know their customers all fry their hair with bleach so to me it was a nice freebie to throw in!
My expectations of the product were high as I had previously used Palmers Cocoa Butter for stretch marks when I was pregnant with my daughter and after and I would say I was mainly happy with the product.
The sachet I recieved was yellow and green in colour and the front shows the image of the full size conditioner. You are advsied the product contains pure coconut oil and is made for the intension to repair and renew dry and damaged hair - which is perfect for those who colour as much as me. I have done my research into coconut oil over the years and it truelly seems to be the best conditioner for your hair compared to the competition. I couldn't wait to try this due to this reason!
The back label tells you the way the product works is to strengthen and seal the hair cuticle, moisturises and softens hair and gives a shine which lasts all day.
For use it advises you to apply to wet hair (after using Palmers shampoo, which unfortunatly I don't have but I would say any shampoo will do as long as its formulated for dry and damaged hair as this is what I did) and simply rinse off. You then dry and style as normal.
Other information included on the back show the ingredients and I was happy to see some real coconut elements there instead of full to the brim with chemicals!
The sachet contents come to a total of 4ml/.14 fl oz.and in my opinion this is just the right amount for people with similar hair to mine... Its not a lot but its enough for shoulder length hair.
My thoughts?
This is truely one of those products where a little is a lot. You don't get much in the term of a sample and is only enough for shoulder length hair but the results are amazing.
The conditioner itself is creamy white in colour like coconut milk and to me its a lot thicker than other conditioners I have encountered you literally have to scoop it out... however this to me is a good thing as it doesnt drip and cause you to waste the product!
The first sachet I used was a day after my latest hair bleach - I used as instructions recommended and being honest didn't see much of a difference - still felt like straw! The second occasion I left it on for 2 hours and covered with a towel to work its magic. Once washed out, I didn't notice a difference straight away until it was dry - when it was straightened it visably looked better and was actually nice to touch - which is a first for me! Its been two days now since I used this and my hair still feels and looks great. Other conditioners do this for me if I leave it on for a couple of hours but in my opinion this particular one works a lot better when used like this.
Another thing I love about this is how its coconut flavoured but its actually bursting with coconut scent compared to other brands where it smells quite watered down. As soon as you open the sachet the smell of coconut pours out and hits you - reminds me of holidays so I love it! And even after two days the coconut scent is still there and is nicely noticed by others around you!
Would highly recommend the full product to all - I will be looking out for it myself!
Dissapointly it seems if I want to buy a full bottle of this product I will have to pay an extortionate price online as its not in any of my local shops and Wilkinsons only seems to do the body creams. I can find it at the cheapest doing a google search at £3.50 including P+P. As much as I like this I think I will wait until I spot this in a shop before indulging again...

About Columbia Valley
Columbia Valley is the largest of Washington State's wine growing regions, with almost 11 million acres. It encompasses a number of smaller regions, including Yakima Valley, Walla Walla Valley, Red Mountain and more. The vast area consists of a range of climates, allowing viticulturists to plant a diverse selection of grape varieties. Most wineries plant rows sparsely, which helps the vines survive the harsh winters.
Notable FactsMerlot is the most popular and most planted grape of the area, followed by Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay. Syrah and Riesling are also popular and continue to grow in acreage.
About Washington
So how does a state known for rain and coffee produce high quality wines? They plant their grapes on the east side of the Cascade mountains, away from that ever-present rain cloud that sits along the coast. Perhaps wine grapes do well since the sandy loam soils east of the Cascade range give way to an almost desert-like land, saved from drought only by the helpful rivers that run through the area – and the good irrigation systems.
Thinking that the state would do best with typical northern growing grapes like Riesling and Gewurtztraminer, turns out the apple state is well-suited for reds, namely Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and, more recently, Syrah. Of course, whites have not been forgotten - Washington State Rieslings range from bone-dry to sweet, are well-structured and high quality, and Chardonnay dominates most of the other white plantings, making a range of wines. But the reds of the region, Merlot in particular, have made Washington State a quality force to be reckoned with.

Special Correspondent
Seeks his "personal intervention" to save the life of fasting Mamata Banerjee
NEW DELHI: The former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee on Thursday led a delegation of National Democratic Alliance (NDA) leaders to President A.P.J. Abdul Kalam and sought his "personal intervention" to save the life of the fasting Trinamool Congress leader Mamata Banerjee.
Ms. Banerjee's hunger strike against acquisition of farmland for a Tata Motors project at Singur in West Bengal entered the 25th day, raising concerns at her health.
Speaking to mediapersons after the 30-minute meeting, NDA convener George Fernandes said the President told the delegation that he had spoken to Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharya twice including on Thursday morning.
BJP president Rajnath Singh said Mr. Vajpayee urged the President to personally intervene in the matter. Mr. Kalam said he too was "worried" about the TMC leader's condition. "We believe the President will make efforts at his level to save Ms. Banerjee's life."
The ball is in CM's court
Answering questions, Mr. Singh said the United Progressive Alliance Government should have impressed upon the State Government to resolve the issue. "Because UPA is not doing it, the NDA has taken this initiative. The ball is now in the Chief Minister's court. He should come up with a proposal [to resolve the issue].''
Asked what could defuse the situation, Dinesh Trivedi, Trinamool member in the Rajya Sabha, separately said the West Bengal Government should agree for unconditional talks. "The Chief Minister should agree in principle to return the land of those farmers who had not taken compensation or given consent to part with their land."
Reacting to industrialist Ratan Tata's statement that competitors were against a Tata Motors project coming up in West Bengal, Mr Trivedi said: "If he said that, he must have the courage of conviction to give the name of the competitors."
Besides Mr. Vajpayee, Mr. Fernandes and Mr. Trivedi, the delegation included Sharad Yadav and Prabhunath Singh (Janata Dal-United), Eknath Thakur (Shiv Sena), Sukhbir Singh Badal (Akali Dal), Brij Kishore Tripathi (Biju Janata Dal) and BJP leaders V.K. Malhotra and Sushma Swaraj.

Microsoft finance chief heads off to new ventureJanuary 11, 2005
In a regulatory filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the company said that CFO John Connors' resignation was effective March 31. Connors announced in January that he planned to leave Microsoft and join venture capital firm Ignition Partners. At the time, Connors did not announce a departure date and said he would "assist in the transition."
However, Microsoft said Wednesday that it has yet to hire his replacement.
"Microsoft is continuing the search for the right candidate," Microsoft spokeswoman Stacy Drake said. "The team is making progress. Given the importance of this position we are taking our time going through a very thorough process to find the right person."
The company did not name an acting financial chief. Until a replacement is found, Drake said the finance function will be led by Microsoft's current team, including corporate controller Scott Di Valerio, who is slated to head up the company's third-quarter earnings call on April 28.

It's interesting. Dude has a different kinda voice – sorta like Pinson or Anthony Smith. It's a cool song thought — different — and that's a good thing!
Like this one.
Love this song. He does have the same feel as a Pinson or Anthony Smith(Those two have the most under-rated debut albums of all times.) I can't wait to hear more from this guy
Really like this song. Moore is on my "watch" list for 2011, hopefully this song does well enough at radio to get more songs out there from him and hopefully this is an indication of a artist capable of more than one or two good songs.
Ya mean nobody's said how much he sounds like early Billy Ray Cyrus (outside of "Achy Breaky")?
I just can't bring mtself to listen to a song by an artist named "Kip". I'd expect a Kip to write a song more along the lines of "Mary Was The Surfing (or Skateboarding, or Sonwboarding, etc) Kind". Crikey mate…
In a way, this song reminds me of Randy Montana's "1,000 Faces," but I think this song does the concept much better because there's a better narrative with a bridge tying the verses together. I like it.
Matt B–
Definitely sounds a lot like BRC.
I actually think his voice reminds me a little of Trent Willmon.
I couldn't figure out where I had heard this before, I haven't, but he reminds me a lot of Trent Willmon, thanks for the memory jog Dustin!
This song is on the CD that I have by another artist, but I can figure out who! Great song. I'm not sure if it's Kip Moore or the other artist who sings it on the CD I have.
Like it – like the nostalgia, the bridge and delivery. More Kip!

We wrote in today's paper that the Nets met with Bower and Dumars over the weekend, according to two sources. Dumars denied it.
"In response to today's media reports regarding the New Jersey Nets, I can say that I do not have any interest in a basketball operations position with the Nets," Dumars' statement said. "My priority is to continue leading the Pistons' basketball operations efforts and putting together a team that is ready to compete and get back on track next season."

Swine flu takes health community by surprise
"The (new) swine flu outbreaks have been a bit of a surprise," said Malik Peiris, a flu expert at the University of Hong Kong who tracked SARS and bird flu. He said it had been scientific dogma that the next pandemic would come from something like H5N1, which has not easily infected humans before.
Peiris agreed the preoccupation with bird flu was justified. "Out of everything out there, H5 was the most deadly," he said.
Others point out that the investment into bird flu is paying off in efforts to contain swine flu, even if the new virus' potential danger was not detected as it was evolving.
"H5N1 was very important because what it did was make sure we're ready," said Chris Smith, a virologist at Cambridge University. "Only minor tweaks are needed to the system."
Without the bird flu scare, Smith says governments would probably not have their stockpiles of flu medicines and the world's flu detection system would not be dialed as high.
Because there are so many different flus, experts say it makes sense to narrow down their suspect list to a few candidates.
Scientists classify flus based on their two surface proteins: There are 16 varieties of hemagluttinin, the H in a flu's name, and 9 varieties of neuraminidase, the N component. Any combination of those Hs and Ns could crop up and potentially mutate into a form dangerous enough to produce a pandemic.
As a possible pandemic spreads around the globe, scientists admit they still have a lot to learn about flu. "Nothing in flu is surprising," Osterhaus said.
"Until a few years ago, we didn't think flus from birds could cross the species barrier and infect humans," he said. "The only thing you can say about flu is to expect the unexpected."

30 year old woman | Waterloo, ON, CAN | Seeking men 28-35 within 30 miles
Around the world and back again
I have lived in Waterloo Ontario, Recife Brazil, and Melbourne Australia. I've travelled to Bali, New Zealand, Cali, and other hot places like Jamaica and Dominican. Although I love to travel, I have the worst sense of direction… but that could always lead to new adventures, right?! There are not many places in the world that I would not love to visit, especially in my own country! Like a true Canadian girl, I take advantage of the seasons—patios, beaches and sun in the summer, skiing and snowmobiling in the winter. I am kind, polite, and sometimes say "eh". My friends would describe me as loyal, fun, honest, and social. I enjoy meeting new people, but always make time for my oldest and bestest friends. I have taught in more schools than I can count and have enjoyed every experience (the good, the bad, and unfortunately the ugly too). That being said, I am a certified teacher waiting for the perfect opportunity to jump into a classroom (preferably Grade 3 or 4). I am looking for a guy (or should I say gentleman)—and a relationship—full of substance, intelligent conversations, humour and passion. I truly appreciate a guy who opens doors for me and has a good connection with his family. I am looking for someone who I can laugh with, be spontaneous with, and enjoy little 'nothings' that mean so much more than many 'somethings'. If you are sweet, funny, and know how to treat a girl well, you're a catch! I look forward to hearing from you.

Concrete producers today find themselves in a climate of moderate but steady growth, tempered with the uncertainties surrounding federal transportation funding, rising interest rates, and cement shortages. Accordingly, cautious optimism prevails among the TCP 100—THE CONCRETE PRODUCER's third annual survey of North America's top producers, ranked by 2003 revenue.
About three-quarters of these leading producers reported revenue increases in 2003, compared to the previous year, and almost as many expect to post similar gains this year. Overall, their sales each rose an average of 7% last year.

The much-maligned Generation X across the globe is more religious than it was perceived to be, says a study conducted by a leading international social research body - the German Bertelsmann Foundation.
The comprehensive research on religions across the world reveals that young adults in India and other developing countries are deeply religious: "Three out of four of the respondents – young adults – in countries such as India, Morocco and Turkey pray at least once a day."
Spanning 21 countries, the study surveyed 21,000 people to find out the significance of religion in the main cultures of the world. Worldwide more than four out of five young adults are religious and almost half are deeply religious. "Only 13 per cent have no appreciation for God or faith in general," it adds.
However, there are large differences between individual countries and among various denominations. Whereas youngsters in Islamic States and developing countries in particular are deeply religious, young Christians in Europe especially are comparatively unreligious.
The diverging picture of the religiousness of young people in different countries and denominations is also reflected in their religious practices. Ninety per cent of young adults in devout countries such as Nigeria and Guatemala pray at least once a day, and three out of four of the respondents in countries such as India, Morocco and Turkey do likewise. In contrast, daily prayer is no longer a common practice among young Europeans. In France, just 9 per cent of young adults pray daily, in Russia the figure is 8 per cent, and only around 7 per cent of young Australians do daily prayers.
The great exception among the Western industrialised countries is the United States which is home to many more religious people than most other Western countries.

Pope urges Portugal to rediscover Christian roots
LISBON, Portugal Pope Benedict XVI recalled Portugal's glorious past as a country of adventurers and missionaries who spread Catholicism around the globe in urging a rediscovery of its Christian heritage Wednesday - a key theme of his message to an increasingly secularized Europe.
Benedict met with members of Portugal's cultural elite on the second day of his visit, a day after making his most explicit admission of the church's own guilt in the clerical abuse scandal. Later Wednesday, he arrives in Fatima, the heart of the trip, to pray at the famous shrine beloved by Pope John Paul II.
Like many countries in western Europe, Portugal has strayed far from its Catholic roots, passing laws in recent years allowing abortion on demand and divorce, even when one of the spouses is opposed. Earlier this year, Parliament passed a bill seeking to make the country the sixth in Europe allowing same-sex couples to marry. The country's president must know decide whether to approve or veto the legislation.
The German-born Benedict has made clear his dissatisfaction with such trends in Europe and has made it a priority of his papacy to remind Europeans that Christianity forms a basis of much of their culture and identity, and that they shouldn't try to do without God in their lives. Over a five-year-papacy, nine of Benedict's 15 foreign trips have been in Europe.
In a speech to Portuguese artists, scientists and intellectuals, Benedict warned that if Christians ignore their faith "they end up lost in the labyrinth of time and history, deprived of clearly defined values and grand ambitions."
"For a society largely created by Catholics and whose culture was profoundly marked by Christianity, the attempt to find truth without Jesus Christ is dramatic," he said.
He recalled the sense of adventure that marked Portugal's colonial past, when its explorers and missionaries brought Catholicism to Africa, Asia and South America, saying they did so with a "sense of global responsibility." He lamented that today there is increasingly a sense of tension and conflict between current trends in culture and the traditions of the past, and urged Portugal's cultural elite in particular to use their influence to promote a renewed appreciation of Christianity.
Benedict met later with Portugal's Socialist Prime Minister Jose Socrates, who in recent years has been a driving force behind the efforts to introduce abortion on demand and same-sex marriage.
Socrates said he told the pontiff that church institutions played an important role in Portugal, especially in welfare programs for the needy.
"The link between the state and the church has been very important in efforts to address social concerns," Socrates told reporters.
Later Wednesday, Benedict heads to Fatima, the site where three Portuguese shepherd children reported having visions of the Virgin Mary in 1917. The shrine draws millions of pilgrims a year and was a favorite of John Paul, who made his third and final visit in 2000 when he beatified two of the three shepherds.

Spray varnishes, fixatives and other art coatings are very easy to apply to your artwork, but before you point and spray, don't forget to read the directions. Fine art spray coatings can vary a great deal in how they are applied because they can vary dramatically in how they are made and what they do. Reading the directions first will ensure you are happy with the results.
New Krylon® Quick Dry helps speed the oxidation process of oil paints so that a painting will dry faster. It allows the oil paints to continue drying through the film. Quick Dry can be used at any stage of the painting process, so the directions call out several methods for using the product.First of all, since you'll be using the product during the creative process, you want to ventilate your studio. Ideally, it's best to spray outside. However, you fortunately do not need to spray much of this product for it to work, so it can be used indoors with ventilation. When spraying inside, open windows and doors, use a fan, or use other means to ensure fresh air entry when you are spraying. Don't confuse Quick Dry with spray paint or spray varnishes – a small amount of misty spray is all that is needed so you won't need to ventilate for long. If you are still concerned, wearing respiratory protection is also helpful and most hardware stores sell a variety of painting masks.Your painting should be sprayed in an upright position, and you can leave your painting on your easel while you are spraying. If there are areas on the painting that you don't want to spray, hold a piece of paper near those areas to block the spray. Hold your can parallel to the surface of the painting about 10" to 12" away. For small areas, use very short light bursts of spray mist. Again, not much product is needed to make the paint dry more quickly. For larger areas, spray very lightly across the surface, from left to right, overlapping each pass slightly so no spots are missed. You can use Quick Dry like a medium in your paint. Just spray a small amount directly into the oil paint on your palette and mix it in with a brush. Lightly tap your finger onto the spray button and quickly release it. You may need to do this more than once depending on the amount of paint on your palette. Using Quick Dry in this way improves both paint flow and dry time.To prevent blending of colors and to add highlights on your painting, allow wet oil paint to sit for one hour at room temperature before lightly spraying with Quick Dry. Wait 24 to 72 hours for the oil paint to oxidize before adding your next layer of
oil paint. The time depends on the thickness of the paint layers.When your painting is completed, you can also spray one light misty coat of Quick Dry to ensure the painting will cure faster. This will help you transport your painting and sell it faster. Quick Dry is compatible with Krylon Conservation Retouch Varnish, so you can apply a coat of retouch varnish at this point as well to unify the look of your painting if desired. Additionally, when fully dry, your painting can be safely varnished.Using Krylon Quick Dry will make you more productive by saving you time and allowing you to either sell or enjoy your paintings that much faster. For professionals, that means you can work on fewer pieces of art at the same time because you'll have more time for creativity.
As artists we love to create – but when it comes to the details of selling we are sometimes a little reluctant. Just in case I get someone who actually wants to know about my work, I have to have a portfolio to show them. Whether this person is a potential customer, gallery owner, or just seems interested in art, having information to give them and recording the information you discover about the person is invaluable.
First, in order to create a portfolio, I have to have pictures of all of my artwork. EVERYTHING I do gets either scanned (at 400 dpi) or digitally photographed and saved on my computer. My documents are named with the name of the painting, size, medium, and date. On my computer I keep the art in folders by the year of creation.
I have two versions of my portfolio.
One is the print version which has the typical photos of my work in acetate page protectors. ALL of the prints are high quality color prints and are consistently on good quality white paper that exactly fits the page protectors. Each print is on the right hand side of the binder and on the left side is an information page. At the front of the binder is a bio with my picture. At the back is an artist's statement.
The other version is a Powerpoint® with all the same stuff. It includes music and smooth transitions between all pages. I have copies of this on CDs and I can easily give it to anyone who is interested. Oh, and of course, the CD has a label with my contact information clearly printed in large type.
Whenever I am displaying my work, teaching a class, or sometimes even when I'm plein-air painting, I have my portfolio (both print and CD) displayed.
On occasions when I don't have my portfolio and the conversation turns to art, I at least have a business card with me. Yes, I'm sure that hundreds of my business cards are carelessly thrown away at the first opportunity, but you never know.It's also important to keep careful records of who we speak with and what we talk about. Include hints about where you met the person, what they looked like, and any personal information you discovered (such as the person loves golf or has twin daughters). Always ask for a person's e-mail address and ask if you can include them in your mailing list. A couple of weeks after meeting the person find some excuse to follow up by mail or possibly a phone call.
So why (other than just being OC) do I go to THIS MUCH work? Because there are THOUSANDS of artists out there. Competition is steep. If I do not present myself and my product well then I may get overlooked. Are art purchases based solely on quality? No. Does fame and success come to whoever is worthy? No. If you paint the best painting in the world will someone, somehow barge their way into your studio and fall at your feet weeping and begging to purchase it? No. These are things we all know. It is a rough market out there and we have to work hard to get our little piece of the pie.
For the past couple of weeks, I have been trying to put together the major puzzle for AOC, which is the schedule for the show: when the artist teaches, which room, based on how many students I think will sign up and all based on their own personal wishes, and various tasks they may be required to perform at the show, such as set up, demo, sign books, etc. Well, when you take all the information x 30 or so artists x 13 rooms x 4 days, throw in some oil, acrylics, a little watercolor, a dash of pastel and a bit of pencil, a girl like me has to take a deep breath and procrastinate just a tad longer...I actually had made three previous attempts at the puzzle, but just could not get it right. Plus with the background office "noise" - phones ringing, questions answered, orders for workshops taken, supplies described, laughter (or groans), directions given - my concentration just kept getting interrupted. Another day had passed and I still did not have this crucial part of the planning for AOC 2010! Meanwhile, I made it through all the other piles of "stuff I need to get to later" and was down to just the schedule. Once the schedule is complete, that begins a whole new "stuff I need to get to later" pile.About 2pm, I came up with the solution. Leave! I grabbed my laptop and put all the important papers in a folder and left for home. I set up at the kitchen table at the Queen's chair and proceeded to work on the puzzle. Okay, where's my folder? Geez, I'm so used to having my info right where I need it. Thank you Christina for scanning and e-mailing "the IMPORTANT paper" to me! After four hours and fifteen minutes straight, I have it! YEH! The puzzle is complete. I'm pretty sure this year's schedule will work for everyone! I will be posting everything on line within my usual time frame, so please check back to the Web site!

Cute, but cats don't like

Cons: cats hate it
