Windsurfing in the Grenadines?
I will be sailing through the Grenadines at the end of April and will be bringing my windsurfing gear with... just trying to figure out what wind range to expect that time of year so I can pack the right sails. (I have a 110L Seatrend)
Thanks in advance!
Sorry if there's a better place to post this...
You should expect steady maximum 30 knots blowing from NE. Most time they will be at the range of 20 knots. Attention: lack of wind at the lee of the islands.
good winds
Just got back from a week sailing the Grenadines. Blowing everyday we sailed (and night) 15-25kts. Good short board conditions much of the time
Thanks for the info! I hope it's still blowing strong at the end of April/early May. I'll have my 110L bump n jump with a 5.2, 5.8, 6.2
The cays look perfect for flat water blasting...maybe some outside (small) wave sailing?
Thanks again

Ministers urge Jakarta not to 'reopen old wounds'
Decision to name ship after bombers ignores impact on victims: Ministers
Published on Feb 7, 2014 7:04 AM
Three Singapore ministers have responded to Indonesia's decision to name a Navy ship after the Indonesian marines who bombed an Orchard Road building in 1965, leaving three people dead and 33 people injured.
Deputy Prime Minister Teo Chee Hean and Defence Minister Ng Eng Hen yesterday joined Foreign Affairs Minister K. Shanmugam in asking Indonesia to consider the feelings of Singaporeans, saying naming the ship after the two men who were hanged in Singapore for their actions would reopen old wounds and leave Singaporeans asking what message Indonesia was trying to send.
But Indonesian leaders said marines Osman Mohamed Ali and Harun Said were considered heroes and there would be no changing the plan to name the navy frigate the KRI Usman Harun.
Singaporeans reacting to the news yesterday said the naming was insensitive and unfriendly, but many Indonesians defended their country's right to honour the two men.

Latest Chloroplast Stories
A team of MIT researchers writing in the journal Nature Materials say they have discovered the first steps in a new field of science known as "plant nanobionics."
New research from the University of California, Davis, shows that the tiny proportion of a cell's DNA that is located outside the cell nucleus has a disproportionately large effect on a cell's metabolism.
Photosynthesis takes place in specialized membrane systems, made up of stacked disks linked together by unstacked planar leaflets.
Biologists may have unearthed the potential to manipulate the functions of chloroplasts, the parts of plant cells responsible for photosynthesis.
A study published in this week's issue of Science shows how tiny single-celled algae and a high specialized bacteria have formed a partnership that helps keep the ocean fertilized. This symbiotic pair takes nitrogen from the atmosphere and "fixes" it into a form that other organisms can use.
Programmed cell death (PCD) is a highly regulated process that occurs in all animals and plants as part of normal development and in response to the environment.
The major difference between plant and animal cells is the photosynthetic process, which converts light energy into chemical energy.
The discovery of a new gene is helping researchers at Michigan State University envision more-efficient molecular factories of the future.
How the light-harvesting complexes required for photosynthesis get to their site of action in the plant cell is reported by RUB biologists in the Journal of Biological Chemistry.

And as always all packs sold by SPC Racing are tested in house prior to customer shipping using an ESR meter. We are the originators of 100% pack testing and we continue to do so today as our guarantee that all packs meet SPC's strict QC requirements or they do not ship.

The Hit Clean or Not You Decide: http://watch.tsn.ca/nhl/clip803918#clip803918
Montreal Canadiens forward Blake Geoffrion remains in hospital after taking a hit Friday night while playing for the team's American Hockey League affiliate, the Hamilton Bulldogs.
The NHL club issued a statement Saturday saying the 24-year-old underwent surgery for a depressed skull fracture and is expected to make a full recovery.
Geoffrion, playing for the Hamilton Bulldogs in a game held at the Bell Centre, was caught with his head down as he drove along the boards by Syracuse Crunch defenceman Jean-Philippe Cote in the first period.
Geoffrion was bleeding and holding his hands to his face when he skated off the ice to go to the dressing room.
Hamilton coach Sylvain Lefebvre said he believed Geoffrion was injured when he fell to the ice.
Cote was not penalized for his devastating but clean hit, though he did get a fighting major for scrapping with Bulldogs forward Mike Blunden, who came after him right after the hit.
Geoffrion had two goals in 13 games last season for the Canadiens.

Contractors do not hire construction workers as regularly as in the past
ERODE: Every morning, R. Mariamma leaves home for work.
She pays Rs. 3.50 towards bus charge to reach Manikoondu, where she waits till a building contractor engages her for work.
If she gets work, the 40-year-old will return with Rs. 80; or else, wait till evening and spend another Rs. 3.50 to reach home.
The R.N. Pudur resident, who carries sand, cement and bricks, has been doing this for the past 30 years. She is the breadwinner, as her two sons do not contribute to household expenditure.
In the past three weeks or so, her life has been different in that the mother of three has been unable to find work.
"I wait here from eight in the morning till about four in the evening and there has been hardly any work," the woman rues.
Same is true of V. Lakshmi (62), B. Vijaya (40), and hundreds of women who wait at Manikoondu for work.
The men are no different either. A. Manoj, 40, says whenever he gets work he paints, else does odd job like repairing tiled roofs or thatched roofs.
He too has been waiting for about three weeks now at Manikoondu with little success. He says work is hard to come by.
"Because of rise in prices of construction materials, there is a slump in the industry," he says and also blames rains for the further slowing down construction.
Without work, Mr. Manoj has hardly been taking home any money.
"I get Rs. 140 a day but in the past few days even half the money is hard to come by."
His worry is to mobilise some money so that he can make Deepavali happen for his son, a sixth grader.
"He has already placed his demands, which I want to fulfil but do not know how."
Slump in construction is not their only worry.
Ubiquitous mobile phones have also started bothering the workers, who say contractors who engage them call workers over mobile phones for work.
"The contractors have stopped looking for workers at Manikoondu. They instead call the workers with mobile phone and the workers take along the required labour force," says Ms. Mariamma.
She adds, "We cannot afford mobile phone and so cannot find work that easily. It also a reason why we have went without work in the past couple of weeks."
They say the absence of work ahead of Deepavali has spoilt the fun in the festival of lights.
"How do I think of new clothes and sweets when paying rent itself is a big challenge?" asks V. Lakshmi, who at 62, has to work.
Apart from the work and Deepavali, elderly men and women like her have been affected on another front.
In the absence of work and money, the workers, particularly the older women, go to the nearby Government-administered Easwaran Kovil for food.
The temple, as part of the Government's annadhana scheme, provides food.
Ms. Lakshmi says the temple workers treat them badly for wanting to have food under the scheme.
Arguing that she is not seeking alms, the woman says workers like her want the district administration to order the temple authorities to treat workers with respect.

When North Carolina Governor Beverly Perdue, a Democrat serving her first term in office, presented her budget to the legislature last summer, counties were alarmed at the details of her plan. Gov. Perdue's proposed budget would have shifted more than $100 million of unfunded liabilities to counties, according to estimates provided by the North Carolina Association of County Commissioners (NCACC) last March.
Gov. Perdue's budget proposal had no chance at becoming law, but as state officials continue to cope with budgetary constraints, some county leaders are wary of what may lie ahead. North Carolina, unlike the federal government, is required to submit and pass a balanced budget. As a consequence, when revenues plummet during recessions, state policymakers are forced to either raise taxes or make cuts, and sometimes do both. Counties and municipalities within North Carolina are forced to do the same. The GOP-led state legislature, thus far, has chosen to exclusively concentrate on scaling back state spending.

13. Charleston
This southern charmer looks its finest in early fall or spring when the tea-olive blossoms are in bloom and the balmy weather is ideal for strolling the well-preserved historic neighborhoods. But lately there's an energy coursing through Charleston, galvanizing the music and art scenes and rewarding visitors, whatever the season. One incubator for the new art scene here is Redux Contemporary Art Center. Nightlife, traditionally centered around the northern reaches of King Street, is diversifying, and restaurants like Husk showcase southern cooking that's both lofty and locavore.

Good Points
Excellent image quailty, good CCD screen, accurate colour rendition.
Bad Points
Poor electronic viewfinder, expensive battery pack, no ac adapter.
General Comments
I was looking forward to testing out this digital camera which apparently won digital product of the year according to the Minolta website.
I found the image quality lived up to expectations and the ccd screen very good. It produces good quality prints as large as A3.
The camera body felt a bit small in the hand, but the controls and menus were easy enough to master.
On the downside, I found that the electronic viewfinder was really poor, compared to other digital cameras that I have tried. This is an importantant point, especially if you're after a camera verging on professional quality, with a price to match.
Be aware that the battery pack that you WILL need and the extra adapter are expensive!
Overall try before you buy, this camera may not be to your taste, especially if you are after a professional piece of kit.

Maine Indoor KartingRead MoreThe karts at Maine Indoor Karting definitely aren?t of the amateur variety. The center maintains a fleet of European racing karts that balance the power of 200 CC, 6.5-hp Honda engines and wet clutch drive systems with the comfort of adjustable padded seats. Before climbing into these speed machines, adults must first attend safety briefings, suit up in provided uniforms, and strap on helmets. Drivers younger than 15 must complete an intensive safety course on how to steer safely, increase speed, and ramp over oncoming fruit carts. But all that prep proves to be worth it when drivers squeal out onto the newly renovated serpentine track and motion-blur their way through 1,200 feet of narrow stretches and sharp switchbacks. The family-fun center also houses an indoor 18-hole miniature golf course and an arcade filled with video games. An on-site caf? serves casual fare such as hot-dogs, hand-made pizza, and root beer floats.23 Washington AvenueScarborough, ME US
Pro FIT WorkoutRead MoreThe instructors at Pro FIT Workout help create custom-tailored exercise regimens for visitors of all ages and fitness levels. Their gym includes basketball courts, free weights, and cardio and strength-training machines, allowing guests to undertake everything from sport-specific training to yoga classes and suspension training.6 Lincoln AveScarborough, ME US
Aquaboggan WaterparkRead MoreAt Aquaboggan Water Park, anyone can perform spinning tricks on the half-pipe—it's practically unavoidable. Tube-equipped riders launch down the slippery 45-foot-tall parabola, careening up and down its sides before sliding down into the connected pool. Nicknamed Stealth 5, the half-pipe is just one of the park's unconventional attractions, joining the ranks of the Aquasaucer, a soft dome with a fountain at the top and ropes leading from its peak to its base. Of course, in its 35 years, Aquaboggan hasn't lost respect for the classics, both wet and dry. Its Pipeline entices guests down a twisting trio of slides, readying riders for a high-speed race on the Turbo Drop's side-by-side slides. Wee ones can splash in the wave pool or take part in a consequence-free lesson in aquatic navigation on the bumper boats. Afterward, guests can dry out on an 18-hole mini-golf course and a high-speed go-cart track.980 Portland RoadSaco, ME US
Saco Sport and FitnessRead MoreSaco is a multipurpose facility that supports the healthy lifestyles of more than 2,600 members and hosts an impressive schedule of unique and dynamic group workout classes. With 65 classes offered each week, budding sweat hogs can dive into Saco's Centergy class, blending yoga and Pilates, or trade inspirational sweat-themed sonnets with compatriots in spinning, step, or weightlifting sessions. Nostalgic drill sergeants can sport their old uniforms and bedazzled riding crops to one of Saco's boot-camp classes, explore a more expressive side through the Latin dance moves associated with Zumba, or enjoy one of their Living Fit or SilverSneakers sessions for older active adults.329 North StSaco, ME US
Morgan RV ResortsRead MoreNestled along the sandy shores of a spring-fed lake, Peters Pond RV Resort keeps campers comfortable with well-maintained campsites trumpeting a slew of amenities. Campers stow the bungalow-on-wheels or pop a tent at one of the resort?s many sites, keeping creature comforts flowing with hook-ups for necessities, including water, electricity, and fondue. Occupy sunshine-drenched days fishing the stocked lake, hiking nearby trails, or parading about the two beaches, or settle vacation quarrels with old-fashioned rounds of bocce ball, badminton, or horseshoes. Wash away the musk of strenuous hikes or the memories of losing at hot potato with the resort?s hot showers and laundry machines. The modern facilities also anchor campers to civilization, with cable hookups, a free WiFi hotspot, and hourly news updates beamed to each mind via the camp?s resident medium.179 Saco AvenueOld Orchard Beach, ME US
Captain John's ChartersRead MoreThrough his late father, an alumnus of the United States Coast Guard and an avid boating enthusiast, John L. Ellis III discovered his own interest in piloting the seas. Now captain of his own vessel, the Island Prince, John whisks passengers away on cruises, fishing excursions, Thursday night firework cruise, and private charters in the areas surrounding Camp Ellis and Saco Bay, and also perform burials at sea. The 2.5-hour day and evening cruises can facilitate sightings of minke whales and harbor porpoises before passing nearby scenic spots such as Wood Island and Bluff Island, which earned its name by lying to pirates about the gold buried in its subterranean carpet showroom. John supplies rental rods, reels, and 3- or 16-ounce jigs for fishing outings, though participants can also bring their own gear to coax pollock, haddock, and stripers to the surface.5 Bay Ave.Saco, ME US

President Obama has challenged the nation to prepare 100,000 new teachers in the next decade.
Idaho schools superintendent Tom Lunas education reform plan hinges upon cutting 770 teaching jobs over two years.
I was struck by the contrast. And as the Legislature prepares for a defining debate over the future of its schools, I was struck by Obamas State of the Union address Tuesday night, and the time and focus the president devoted to education issues.
Obamas education agenda isnt far removed from Idahos agenda.
Obama touted his Race to the Top grant program; Luna sought money for Idaho, unsuccessfully.
Obama took George W. Bushs No Child Left Behind education law unpopular even in Republican Idaho and introduced it to the underside of the bus. Obama promised to replace NCLB with a law thats more flexible and focused on whats best for our kids.
Obama touted postsecondary education in terms much like the J.A. and Kathryn Albertson Foundations Go On ad campaign.
While cash-strapped Idaho has taken small steps to increase college scholarships, Obama pushed Congress to make permanent a four-year $10,000 tuition tax credit. (A noble goal, but what gets cut to fit this into Obamas five-year freeze on domestic spending?)
When it comes to merit pay, this Obama line could have easily been a Luna line. We want to reward good teachers and stop making excuses for bad ones.

Bocktoberfest 2004
The 11th Annual Bocktoberfest 2004 will be on Saturday, October 16th, at the historic Spoetzl Brewery in Shiner, Texas. Gates will open at 12:00 NOON, music begins at 12:30pm and runs throughout the day ... and the Fireworks Finale will be spectacular!
Spoetzl Brewery
The Spoetzl Brewery is Texas' oldest independent brewery. The original tin brewery was founded in the centre of an Austrian, German, and Czech farming community near the railroad tracks in 1909. Kosmas Spoetzl, a German immigrant brewmaster, learned of the Shiner operation and coleased the facility with Oswald Petzold with an option to buy in 1915. Spoetzl was well experienced in brewing practices in Germany and Cairo before moving to San Antonio in search of a better climate for his health. He came, carrying the recipe for a Bavarian beer made by his family from pure malt and hops. Within a year Spoetzl bought the brewery, which he renamed the 'Home Brewery,' and began to produce beer in wooden kegs and bottles.
Take a tour through the brewery, it is well worth it. The lady taking the tour is quite dramatic in her storytelling and obviously sees herself as part of a big family there. At the end of the tour, you are invited to the hospitality room to sample the different beers. On a 100F day, this is a very pleasant end to the tour.
Spoetzel Brewery in Shiner, Texas
If you are going to drink the best beer in the world (Shiner Bock), then you must pay homage to the brewery itself, the Spoetzel Brewery in Shiner, Texas. It is located in a tiny town between San Antonio and Houston. There are some B&Bs, and a small hotel that is just about as cute as can be. In fact, the hotel, which was less than $65, was decorated in antiques, which made it feel like an inn or B&B.
The brewery is about a 45" tour which includes 4 free tastings of different beers at the end of the tour. Yahoo! And the brewery's store has all kinds of cool beer paraphanalia you can buy. There is not much in the way of restaurants in town, just a few small ones that serve mediocre food. But otherwise this is a cool day trip to make if you are in the San Antonio, Houston, or Austin area.

The Gaslight Theatre
Shiner's first Opera House lives again. Originally the setting for plays, balls, political debates, church socials, town meetings and "social hops", the opera House claimed a center of Shiner's social life from 1895 until 1927. Inactive for many years, The Gaslight Theatre was born again in 1975 thanks to a local nun and her drama class. Today, the ornate proscenium arch and vaudeville-style stage are all original from the building's 1895 construction. The Gaslight Theatre is known for its outstanding amateur productions usually held four times a year. This dinner theatre is worth the drive!
Edwin Wolters Museum
This is an outstanding legacy of Shiner's history. It graciously displays an antique gun collection, old-time country store, dinosaur bones, embroidery and hand stitchery collection, a delightful doll display, musical instruments, an implement shed, and many other interesting antiques
Open Monday thru Friday, 8AM till 5 PM which isn't too convenient if you are a weekend visitor. You can move to Shiner, or wait for the 2nd or 4th Sunday when it is open 2-5 P.M.
Kasper Wire Works
The Kasper Wire Works which is across the street from the brewery, also has tours, but by appointment. They celebrated their Centennial in 1998.
The introduction of barbed wire in 1874 put a serious crimp in smooth wire sales. It was either attach all those barbs or find another use for it. This is exactly what August Kasper did. From a simple woven wire basket, they are now one of the largest manufacturers of fan guards, fry baskets, and newspaper racks in the world. If you have lost money in one of these racks, do not ask for a refund here. The coin mechanism is not made by Kasper. The fact that you couldn't remove a paper after losing your money, well, that demonstrates the quality of the product.
A Funny Fact about Shinerites: Being from Shiner, you're bound to know at least a handful of people who work at either Kaspers or the Brewrey or both.
The Spoetzl Brewery
This is perhaps the main draw for those who visit Shiner. As you may have gathered by their recent ad campaign, Shiner Beer is "Brewed with an attitude". You can tour the brewery (Monday thru Friday 11a.m. & 1:30p.m.) and find out for yourself what kind of attitude. Just keep in mind: The brewery is closed on weekends and major holidays.
after your tour at the brewery, it's a good idea to hit Howard's store for a brewsky on tap. you can get any of the shiner beers available. a pint for something like a buck and a quarter. it's basically a gas station, but for the small town of shiner, is also a movie rental place, convienent store, gas stop, beer stop, and during good weather, Howard's got a back porch with benches, a bbq pit and a stove for when it's a bit cooler.
great place to hang out and relax.

The Spoetzel Brewery
where Shiner Bock is made, along with Shiner Blond, Heffewisen, Shiner Light, and the winter and summer stocks.
you can take a tour - given daily around 1:30 every afternoon.
before and after the short tour you can sample some of the beer.
i prefer the heffenwisen - non pasteurized, and reminds me more of a european beer. but i'm no pro when it comes to drinking beer, so...i could be off :-)
shiner beer is now sold in over 25 states - mostly the bock. it's a speciality beer, and that's why you see in under the import beers many times.
and when you're in the hospitality room sampling a beer, you may run into a local coming in on his daily route to sample a beer or two! :)

Approximately 5,600 cases a day are produced which does not include kegs.
They bottle only one brand a day (Bock, Blonde, Honey Wheat, Hefeweizen, Winter Ale or Summer Stock) which is based on distributor demand.

That's a lot of Barrels
There are almost 25,000 barrels produced annually and almost all of these are marketed in the surrounding area.
Don't forget to visit the gift shop, museum which features memorabilia from the brewery and the town of Shiner. Open daily, except Sunday.
The Brewhouse
Unfortunately you were not allowed to take photos inside. This brewhouse apparently was the last built of this caliber in the last 20 years.
The beautiful shiny copper cookers are kept in immaculate condition and you are not permitted to touch them. There are something like 5 of these huge copper cookers all performing various procedures of the processing.
The Silos
The main ingredients in beer are water, malt (barley), hops and yeast. The water in the Spoetzl beer comes from a pure Artesian spring that runs deep beneath the ground. An important ingredient in beer is hops. Hops is a natural preservative and gives beer individuality, through bitterness and aroma.
Louis Ehlers Cigar Factory
Louis Ehlers Cigar Factory was first opened in 1895 and produced three favourites, the 'Becky Brown,' 'Katy Lee,' and 'Good Company.' They employed five labour union men who were paid one cent per cigar made. Open Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday 10:00am to 2:00pm.

Who is she?
- You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger
- Production year: 2010
- Countries: Rest of the world, Spain, USA
- Cert (UK): 12A
- Runtime: 98 mins
- Directors: Woody Allen
- Cast: Anthony Hopkins, Antonio Banderas, Freida Pinto, Gemma Jones, Josh Brolin, Kelly Harrison, Lucy Punch, Naomi Watts, Pauline Collins, Philip Glenister, Sir Anthony Hopkins
A little known British actor who was pipped by Nicole Kidman to a part in Woody Allen's latest London-set movie, You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger. At the time, the 33-year-old hadn't worked in a year, and her mum was suggesting she start working on TEFL courses in Spain.
We feel a happy ending coming on.
You bet. Kidman pulled out because of a filming clash and Punch redoubled her efforts for the next round of auditions: fake tan, big hair, trampy clothes.
Isn't that taking the casting couch a bit far?
Eeugh, don't be disgusting. It had nothing to do with the casting couch and everything to do with the character: she plays a gold-digging escort called Charmaine, who marries Anthony Hopkins and dresses like an 80s page three stunna. Punch modelled gobby Charmaine's voice on Lady Sovereign.
How did she get on with Woody Allen?
Just fine, after an initial faux pas. All her auditions were done by video, and when she finally met him at a wardrobe fitting, Punch gave Allen a huge hug. He edged away stiffly and an assistant put her straight: "No one touches Woody."
What next?
She's got a romcom with Cameron Diaz and after that a Nick Cassavetes-directed drama. Mind you, Punch might want to keep an eye on quality control; she's had small parts in a couple of stinkers this last year (Dinner for Schmucks and A Little Bit of Heaven). Not every comedy is a Woody Allen. Not even every Woody Allen, come to think of it. Cath Clarke

Bolts using more tight end formations
Well, after two Neal-less seasons, the Chargers are looking at tackle Antonio Garay in the role of occasional goal-line fullback.
"We'll see what he can do," Turner said of the 6-foot-4, 320-pound Garay. "It has to be the right guy. He's a good athlete."

Operation Payback Shuts Down IFPI Site 376
from the countering-a-distributed-denial-of-liberty-attack dept.
DoS, killing people, all the same! Death penalty for jaywalkers!
Exactly, if they really wanted to hurt them, wouldn't an attack on something that would cost them real money (like a RIAA-blessed streaming music service) be more damaging?
I got a better idea, we need to hit them financially. Let's distribute pirated copies of their movies for free, using P2P. Just think, if we can get 1 million people to download their movies, that means they will have lost $20 million in sales, since everyone knows that every time a movie is pirated, it equals exactly one lost sale. That would show them.
I fail to see the point of your argument. I pointed out that ddos attacks cause business's lose money/profit. Servers are a business tool, just like a fax and a phone. You lose the ability to use it, you lose the ability to conduct business.
Your post, if you want to call it that. Had nothing to do with the loss of income. Your point is about free merchandise. Guess what, I'm not giving away free merchandise with my server. Your friendly ddos attack took my server off line. I'm losing money, and I have to lay people off because of it. Thank you for your non violent temper tantrum.
Your post shows your just a child that can't play by the rules. If you can't have something for free, you are going to throw your little temper tantrum. Guess what child, the grown ups have ruled. In multiple countries to boot. Your not getting your toys for free. Get off your fucking ass, get a job. And pay for your toys like the rest of the adults do., Otherwise, go without or go to jail. Because thats exactly where you belong. In jail for your attacking someone else's property with your DDOS attack.
Never appeal to a man's "better nature." He may not have one. Invoking his self-interest gives you more leverage. -- Lazarus Long

Defence minister AK Antony has ordered a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into allegations that Rolls-Royce paid kickbacks of over Rs 10,000 crore to Indian officials between 2007 and 2011 to bag several military contracts.
In his eight-year tenure, Antony has handed over around 100 corruption cases to the CBI and blacklisted more than a dozen companies.
The latest move is expected to delay several Indian Air Force (IAF) projects.
According to defence ministry officials, Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) had received an anonymous letter, claiming that Rolls-Royce paid bribes to HAL and other officials to bag the engine contract for the Hawk Advanced Jet Trainer (AJT) aircraft.
An investigation by HAL's Chief Vigilance Officer (CVO) found some credence in the complaint and the matter was referred to the defence ministry, said an official.
The CVO's investigations, prima facie, found alleged violation of several contractual obligations between 2007 and 2011.
The Rolls-Royce 's Adour Mk 871 turbofan engine was supplied for the aircraft manufactured by HAL for the IAF, the officer said.
Company representatives could not be contacted.
The issue came to light after HAL issued queries to its vendors and suppliers to ensure probity in its transactions as part of its integrity pact to be signed with them, an official said.
Project Hawk AJT was stareted to cater to the IAF's long-standing requirement to bridge the gap between slow jet trainers such as Kiran and the advanced fighter aircraft currently in its inventory.
The need for AJTs was first felt by the IAF in 1982 after several crashes due to the lack of an advanced jet trainer. The IAF believed there existed a quantum difference in the skill and judgment levels of a young fighter pilot as he transited to state-of-the-art fighters like Su-30 MKI, Mirage 2000 and MiG-29.
HAL and IAF signed the contract in 2004. The Hawk -AJT was adequately serving as a lead-in trainer for these advanced aircraft.

My 17 week pregnant Fiance just got a call from the doctor saying that the blood test came back positive for NTD. I quizzed her with questions about any other information she knew, but she was at work and could only take in so much information without being overwhelmed. My next move was to research as much as I could about NTD and the test. Throughout my research I have become very confused about what to think and understand about what to expect. Some sites seemed like the chances for a false positive were slim, others made it sound common. It also seems that there are different types of tests? Quad, Tri, MSAFP, Marker screening.... I'm not sure if it is the test that gives the odds for a false screening or what? The worst part is we can't get an appointment for an ultrasound for two and a half weeks. I looked up Spina Bifida on google images and my heart dropped. Anencephaly seems is certain death. If anyone has any information about this situation, it would be greatly appreciative. My fiance wants to put it out of her thoughts, which might be the best thing. However, I need to know what's going on.
I hope someone with experience can help answer your questions soon. The only advice I can really offer is calling the ultrasound place and begging for an earlier appointment. I did that when we were waiting for answers about potentially fatal birth defects with my son (everything turned 100% healthy for him. He had extra amniotic fluid, which was the concern.) and they got me in a little less than a week earlier at 6am. I can't believe they expect people to wait so long for such important news.

Have to say, Pokemon has been great over the years, and has evolved a lot (puts on sunglasses). Despite that I'd really like Gamefreak to try and make a Pokemon game taking he formula to a new level. Doesn't have to affect the main games, because there are still a lot of people who loves them, could simply be a console spin-off or somehing similar.

Author has written 12 stories for Alias Smith & Jones, Gravity Falls, Happy Days, and Misc. Tv Shows.
I'm a writer and a born traveler. I feel at home in the western United States. I have a deep love for history and do well in the subject, especially with American History. I've been to some famous, or infamous depending on who you are, places in the west, like Deadwood, South Dakota and Yellowstone National Park. My favorite place in Wyoming is a toss-up between the Territorial Prison Museum in Laramie and Old Trail Town in Cody. My profile picture is actually the bedroom in the Hole in the Wall cabin, which was moved from Hole in the Wall to its present location in Cody Wy. My previous profile picture was a poorly centered picture of a picture of the Hole in the Wall Gang, more specifically Butch Cassidy's Wild Bunch.

Originally written on Mets Merized Online | Last updated 11/15/14
Wex asks: Do you think Ruben Tejada will still be the everyday shortstop in 2015? The reason I ask is the Mets drafted Gavin Cecchini one year after they went way over slot on Phillip Evans. They also signed the top Dominican shortstop Germán Ahmed Rosario in July for a record setting bonus. All these moves don't seem to bode well for Ruben Tejada who has been holding his own at 22 years old and did well considering he had some big shoes to fill. Sean Kenny replies: Each one of those guys you've mentioned it at least three full years away from helping the MLB club. Just to give this more depth, i'll approach them one-by-one. Gavin Cecchini has under 200 AB's, so a repeat in Brooklyn is possible, if not it would be an aggressive push for a kid turning 19 to go to Savannah. Defense has never been the question, and most of the thought in drafting Gavin here was his ability to stick at short. His bat will essentially decided whether he is a star, a useful piece or career minor-leaguer....

Will mount any lens from approximately 18mm - 82mm. One knob adjusts the size, the other tightens it down. These are great for playing around with barrel lenses, or any lens really.
As you can see, one knob went missing at some point in history and was replaced. The new thumbscrew operates perfectly.

What the HEX is Going on With our Drinking Water?
I am sure many of you have seen the flood of recent headlines and articles posted all over newspapers, the Web and every news channel across the nation. The headlines are grim:
Getting to the bottom of a hot-button issue
Value-Oriented Water Treatment
Giving customers value is what most retailers and wholesalers are doing during the economic slump. With rising costs for products and shipping, it is difficult to maintain sales and acquire profits. Cutting costs without cutting corners can be difficult as well. Sizing a water system and applying the correct treatment system can be a daunting task because salespeople must take into consideration that the customer wants the best possible water treatment at the lowest possible cost.

Texas loves its high school football. It's practically a religion there. That's why Buzz Bissinger chose Permian High School for his phenomenal book, Friday Night Lights. Every year, plenty of the nation's top college football recruits come out of the Lone Star State. In fact, you don't need look much further than Allen, Texas for proof. That's where a brand new, $60 million stadium, paid for by voter approved public funds, is set to open at the end of this month.
Allen High School, located about 35 minutes from Dallas, is one of the largest high schools in the U.S. with an enrollment around 5,000. The people there love the school and they love their football team, obviously.
So the Eagles will start playing this season in a stadium that probably makes most smaller Division I colleges feel a little insecure about their own facilities.
The Eagles' new home has 18,000 seats (!), an HD scoreboard, and state-of-the-art weight room and press box. Oh, there's also an indoor practice facility for the golf team. I'm going to guess the locker rooms are ridiculously nice too, because why spend that kind of cash if you're not going to pamper the athletes.
So not only will the stadium make opposing teams feel bad about themselves when they get there, it will probably scare the crap out of most of them. I'm sure thousands of fans show up to other high school games throughout Texas, but we're talking an 18,000 seat stadium. That's just nuts.
I don't see how anyone can fault Allen for this, either. They voted it in. The superintendant told CNN that the facility should generate a lot of revenue, which most of will go into the teacher's fund. Kind of hard to get mad at that, right?
What do you think? Is this overkill for high school football?

Poets and Prophets: Matraca Berg at Country Music Hall of Fame
Matraca Berg looks like a country singer. She's slim and pretty. When she speaks, it's with a strong Kentucky drawl. The boys would gush over her and the girls would all want to be her. But that's not what Berg is. She's a songwriter—and a good one at that.
So good, that she was picked to participate in the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum's quarterly Poets and Prophets series which highlights legendary song-crafters. During the program, Berg and interviewer Michael Gray traced her career from an underage shot of tequila courtesy of Harlan Howard to her first Grammy nomination.
Berg came from a musical family—so it's no wonder that she wrote her first song at age four. Her mother, Icie, was a Nashville hopeful whose dreams never really materialized. Even though Icie didn't make it big, she did help influence Matraca. Sounds of Dolly Parton, Bobbi Gentry, and others filled the house where Matraca grew up.
"I was inspired by my mother's love for song and songwriting," said Berg. Her voice cracked and she took extended pauses when she spoke of her mother. Icie died in 1985 at the age of 40.
Despite her mother's warning about the hardships of the music business, Berg was determined. She jumped head first into the Nashville scene—where she met Harlan Howard at 18. Berg distinctly remember Howard buying her first ever shot of tequila. (They didn't end up writing a song together until the 1990's.)
Berg kept writing and networking. The hard work eventually paid off. She got her first #1 with "Faking Love" by Karen Brooks and T.G. Sheppard in 1983 at age 19. The song was a co-write with the legendary Bobby Braddock, who was just fresh off of "He Stopped Loving Her Today."
Even with a solid hit under her belt, Nashville still wasn't exactly knocking down Berg's door.
"They thought I was sleeping with Bobby!" said Berg with a laugh.
But she proved to be no fluke after Reba McEntire cut "Last One to Know" and took it to #1 in 1987. Berg had made her name known, and not surprisingly, she was offered a record deal in 1989. Her first album, Lying to the Moon, was released and she was booked an opener on Clint Black's tour with the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. It was there that she met future husband, Jeff Hanna.
Even though she had found love on tour, the performances and publicity were just too much to handle. She personally didn't think she was recording material—not to mention she had terrible stage fright.
"It feels like I shouldn't be here," Berg remembered thinking. "Waylon once said that singer-songwriters are introverts living in an extrovert world." The extrovert world wasn't for her. So, finally she went to Pat Higdon, her publisher, and said "Just pitch'em all." Hits by Martina McBride and Trisha Yearwood followed.
She had run into a short creative drought in 1996 when she came to fellow songwriting buddy Greg Harrison with the idea for an autobiographical tune about a summer she spent on her uncle's farm in Wisconsin. "Strawberry Wine" was born and was named the CMA Song of the Year in 1997.
While the cuts kept coming, it wasn't until 2005 that Berg got a Grammy nomination with Gretchen Wilson's "I Don't Feel Like Loving You Today."
Recently, Berg has been on the Wine, Women, & Song tour in the UK with old friends Suzy Bogguss and Gretchen Peters. She also has an album recorded that she plans on releasing before the year's end.
"I'm really happy with it," said Berg. "There was no producer to tell me how to sound."
After the interview, Berg sheepishly but gracefully walked over to a piano and sat down to play "Dreaming Fields"—a beautiful cut from Yearwood's most recent album. Before playing, she apologized for her lack of practice that week—but she still knocked it out of the park. "Wrong Side of Memphis" on the guitar and harmonica followed—and still not one ounce of over-confidence or ungratefulness was exuded from the stage.
The title of "Poet and Prophet" couldn't have been more fitting.

This is an excellent profile of what sounds like a fantastic evening. She really is one of the best.
Fantastic recap. Boy, I wish I could see the show with Gretchen Peters and Suzy Bogguss.
i discovered matraca in 1996 between sunday morning and saturday night. anyway, its still one of my favorite female country albums ever. good to see she's doing well. great profile of an artist that is very deserving.
Ok, her mother's name was Icie Berg? For real? Wow…
The Wine, Women and Song show with Gretchen Peters and Suzy Bogguss was a brilliant night, I thoroughly recommend it if anyone gets a chance to go on their next tour (which I'm sure will happen). They're three genuinely entertaining women, with great material, who clearly really like each other and bounce off each other like good friends do. And they clearly enjoy each other's music, and their own music, and seeing them perform that and enjoy themselves so much at the same time is just a joy.
I love Matraca Berg so very much. One of my proudest interet moments was getting Matraca Berg's name dropped into a TWOP review:

What is an Electronic Health Record?
An electronic health record or medical record (EHR or EMR) is a data system that resides in your doctor's office, in a hospital or with another provider. It replaces the traditional medical chart and allows your provider to enter and retrieve your medical information. Lab results can be automatically loaded in this record and prescriptions can be automatically sent to your pharmacy.
Your provider can choose to share your information with a colleague through a Health Information Exchange (HIE) like HASA. Like your provider, HASA receives information from many providers in the Central Texas area, where it is standardized and made available to a requesting physician in an aggregated and easy to read format. Providers can opt to read this information or add this to your record in their EMR.
A Personal Health Record (PHR) is an access point for you to enter your medical information, including tests, medications, and names and addresses of your doctors and insurance providers so that you can make it available to anyone you want to share this with.

No Wheat!? Awesome!
posted 6 years ago
I don't eat wheat because it upsets my stomach, so I thought, how would my dogs, who are carnivores by nature, be able to digest wheat any better than I would?
These "no wheat treats" are perfectly sized for small to medium dogs, and have the perfect balance of crunch and chewiness since there are two different textured treats in the bag. My dogs love when they hear the crinkle of my hand dipping into the bag, and they immediately sit and stare at me, waiting for me to give them a command so they can "win" this delicious treat. My dogs love the flavor, and I love the "wheatlessness." It's a perfect compromise.
Pros: They don't contain wheat
Cons: They're not very attractive
