"Don't miss the kesari," said Ramanan, an author and poet in Tamil. He then hitched a ride on nostalgia and travelled four kilometres and as many decades. Steam from the kesari of 45 years ago mists his glasses. And the words that triggered this esoteric experience: Sabha Canteen. For many like Ramanan who grew up in Chennai but had to move away, following vocation, the Margazhi season is an anchor with links to the heart and stomach alike.
Like the sabhas themselves, there is a strong undercurrent of tradition in the canteens. Banana leaves for plates, and leaf 'donnais' as cups are immediate indicators of convention. Molaga Bajji, a variety of dosas from crispy thin to fully loaded, and the humble but indispensable idli can be found in every sabha, without exception.
The caterers take pride in serving the "freshest dishes, with the best ingredients". The phrase is in quotes because you will hear it in every canteen you visit. The 'Gokulam' outlet of Krishna Sweets at Krishna Gana Sabha (KGS) even has a neon sign that says 'Suda Suda Idli'('Hot Hot Idli), making the point that merely hot idlis are not fit fare for the rasika.
Chidambaram, a rasika and a regular at the Margazhi festival for over 25 years, belches out a summary, waving a still-sizzling banana bajji for effect – "You see, every sabha is different. Tiffin is good in one place, coffee is great in another." "And since every year the venues are different, you must see as many sabhas as you can. I am here now, but I enjoyed an excellent lunch at the Parthasarathy sabha," he concluded.
Since most of the caterers usually cater to marriages, lunch is a typical wedding spread, with koottu, sambar, rasam, aviyal, a selection of poriyal and the occasional payasam among much else.
Canteen USPs
Keeping septuagenarian sabha veterans interested, while also trying to woo a younger palate demands versatility and unbending quality standards.
The Mount Marriage Catering Services at the Parthasarathy Sabha, for the duration of the festival this year, will serve lunch without onions and garlic, as a tribute to rasikas' sentiments.
Most sabha canteens look to bring 'something new' every year. Chaat and north Indian dishes are relatively new additions to the menu, but have evoked enthusiastic response. Digging more firmly into tradition has helped too, as Meenambiga's paruppusuli kozhukkattai and keera vadai prove at the Mylapore Fine Arts Club. Meenambiga, and Gnanambiga caterers at the Narada Gana Sabha and Vani Mahal are exclusively traditional outlets.
Some sabhas have chosen to cook on both their burners. The Gokulam at KGS, for instance, serves truly vintage dishes like Morkali, paal kozhukkattai, ammuni kozhukkattai, paal paniyaaram and raagi adai. Making traditional rice-based dishes on such a scale has its difficulties. "The ground rice keeps getting thicker as you stir it. Cook one dish and it will give you bigger biceps," says Anand Vaithilingam, Chief Chef of Krishna Sweets' Central Kitchen. The cutlet channa, samosa channa, raj kachori and bhel puri at the sabha have steady patronage.
Other snacks like bread rolls, spring rolls and noodles, have also found a niche in various sabhas.
The sabha identity
Without exception, sabha caterers opine that their association with the festival is not monetarily profitable. Some say they do it for the visibility that a month-long festival with a steady patronage brings and others deem this link to artists and cultural establishments a thrilling reward. For a few, the Margazhi season is an opportunity to make a statement. "Mount Mani and his Marriage Catering Service is very much in business, and the standards of quality and integrity are as high as ever. Those who doubted this can visit anytime," an impassioned Srinivas said. Mount is back in the sabha scene after nearly seven years.
Whatever the balance sheet of the sabha canteens might claim, it would be hard to overlook the pull of this gastronomical phenomenon. For a few years now, the fact that a growing number of rasikas find fulfilment outside the music halls had begun to erode at the gentle balance between sabha organisers and caterers at the Margazhi festival. Caterers have hopped sabhas repeatedly and some have severed ties with the music festival.
"I'll tell you why. A lot of misunderstanding cropped up between caterers and organisers," said Sreedhar, son of Arusuvai Natarajan, founder of the popular Arusuvai Arasu franchise. "Customers who came only to the canteen began to be seen as a disturbance. Restrictions on space and other aspects began to creep in. There was even talk of allowing only rasikas with sabha tokens into the canteen," Mr. Sreedhar claimed.
Others take a more pragmatic view. "Sabha is the priority, canteen comes next. Yes, there are changes in the space we are given and new procedures are introduced once in a while. But the people's response is very encouraging, so you do the best with the resources at hand," Bhaskaran of Meenambiga says. "We are more than satisfied with the catering, and the rasikas are also happy, as we see everyday," says Hariharan, Secretary of the Parthasarathy Sabha.
However, for the average rasika, the only tangible change is a wider range of cuisine and greater attention to service. In the rasika's world, the canteen is an integral part of the sabha. The exclamations of pure pleasure one hears during a katcheri, as the artist dishes out a particularly delectable nuance of a raga, are elicited in equal measure by a heavenly confection.
Even one not inclined towards the fine arts does recognise that the crispiest dosas, the most authentic morkali and the hottest of hot idlis are inexplicably available only beside a katcheri.
Perhaps, the blend of the rasika's musical and culinary tastes will imprint itself onto the Margazhi festival.

Emerson and it does not appear the firm paid too large a premium for Avocent. On a call announcing the acquisition, CEO David Farr noted that Emerson is still on the hunt for more acquisitions, given its $1.5 billion to $2 billion budget for acquisitions

The 108-story structure was originally proposed to stand almost 1,900 feet, but it had to be scaled down to 1,600 feet to meet regulations. It features notched corners to minimize the effect of wind loads and has extended mega-columns at the base to provide additional structural support and create canopies.

It's as if he was dream-walking through the last four years and suddenly awakened in South Los Angeles, where he found himself on a stage backed by a gospel choir and young hip-hop dancers and an audience of friends and supporters.
It was a short, sweet and very rosy picture he painted of the City of Angels since he took the helm of City Hall in 2001. ``I am proud to report to you that the state of our city is safer, stronger and improving every day,'' Hahn said.
You can grant Hahn the safer bit - crime has been down on his watch under Police Chief William Bratton. For that he deserves credit, although illegal street gangs still rule many city streets because Hahn chose to give handsome pay raises to city employees over hiring the extra cops that are so badly needed.
But stronger? Improving every day?
Is Hahn thinking of the same Los Angeles in which the doings in local government, particularly his administration, are the subject of local and federal criminal corruption probes?
Does he mean the same town in which basic services have been reduced year after year to pay for giveaways to special interests and employee unions, and where fees and rates are soaring?
Can he really be talking about the same Los Angeles as the one in which the power structure consistently backs developers, contractors and other special interests and neglects the interests of ordinary citizens from Pacoima to Mar Vista?
That's not to say that there aren't good things that have happened in Los Angeles in recent years. There are, and Hahn cited many of them: 35 new libraries opened; neighborhood councils have grown from nothing to a burgeoning movement that is learning how to wield grass-roots power; business tax reform.
What Hahn glossed is over is that the libraries were built by a voter-approved construction bond engineered by Richard Riordan when he was mayor. That neighborhood councils were created because of City Charter reform engineered by Richard Riordan when he was mayor. And that business tax reform driven by City Council members Wendy Greuel and Eric Garcetti with at best passive support from the Hahn.
What's the real state of the city?
Los Angeles is steadily becoming two cities, one rich, one poor, with the middle-class people of all races fleeing to the suburbs. It's a city run by small-minded leaders in public and private affairs whose vision rarely goes beyond their own self-aggrandizement.
Hahn needs to show he understands this and that he's committed to doing better. The city cannot afford more of the same.

China train derails in test run, one dead: State media
Published on Jan 8, 2013 6:02 PM
BEIJING (AFP) - A subway train derailed on Tuesday in a test run on a new line in southwestern China, killing one driver and injuring another, state media reported.
The first carriage of the train ran off the tracks in the city of Kunming in Yunnan province at 9:09 am, the China News Service said. There were no passengers on board.
One driver was struck by falling heating equipment in the driver's cabin and died, while another was slightly injured and taken to hospital, the report said, citing the subway's operator, state-owned Kunming Rail Transit.
The city government was investigating the cause of the accident, it added.

25 October 2013 10:01 [Source: ICB]
Styrere butadiene rubber (SBR) is the largest volume synthetic rubber. More than 70% of SBR is consumed in the manufacture of tyre products. Other uses include footwear, industrial hoses, conveyor belts and gloves, among others.
There are two major types of SBR: emulsion (E-SBR) and solution (S-SBR). E-SBR continues to lose ground to S-SBR, which can better meet the stringent specifications for high-performance tyres.
SBR is available in three different grades; 1500 grade, which is a non oil extended grade; and 1723 and 1783, which are oil extended grades.
EU legislation introduced in November 2012 enforcing the labelling of tyres with information such as fuel economy, is likely to incentivise the take-up of S-SBR in the production of more energy efficient tyres. Energy efficient tyres can reduce fuel consumption, rolling resistance and wet grip. Using S-SBR can improve these characteristics.
Michelin suggests that 10% of original equipment manufacturer (OEM) tyres in 2010 were low-rolling resistance and this will increase to 48% by 2020.
Demand in Europe from the tyre industry has been flat to weak over the past 12 months. European passenger vehicle tyre replacement sales, which account for 70-80% of all tyre sales, were down 6% compared to 2012 figures because of cash-strapped consumers. Demand from non-tyre applications has been healthier.
Despite local SBR oversupply, Europe still faces a lot of competitive pressure from Asia and Russia.
SBR prices dropped significantly from mid-November 2012 to mid-August, as a result of long supply, poor tyre sales and declining feedstock costs.
Primary feedstock butadiene (BD) has been soft since May and contract prices declined €500/tonne from June to August, despite some uptick in September and October's monthly contract price. This drove down prices on all SBR grades. The SBR 1500 grade price was 24% lower in August than it was in May. BD prices have increased recently because of tightened supply in Europe and lighter feedslates at crackers.
Spot prices remained relatively flat throughout the first half of 2013, and by June prices declined to their lowest level for over three years. Spot 1500 strengthened since September to €1,350-1,400/tonne FD NWE, due to rising BD feedstock costs. Spot 1723 and 1783 remained flat at €1,200-1,300/tonne FD NWE and €1,159-1,250/tonne FD NWE respectively.
SBR is produced by the copolymerisation of butadiene (BD) and styrene. In the emulsion process, producing general-purpose grades, the feedstocks are suspended in a large proportion of water in the presence of an initiator or a catalyst and a stabiliser. A continuous process is employed.
In the solution process, the copolymerisation proceeds in a hydrocarbon solution in the presence of an organometallic complex. This can be either a continuous or batch process. Some manufacturing facilities have swing capacity with polybutadiene rubber.
There was some optimism that SBR demand would improve with increased car sales in western Europe, but market participants remained uncertain about a significant recovery this year and even into 2014.
Trends toward performance S-SBR grades will continue, but until the European economy improves limited demand and high capacity will keep S-SBR utilization rates between 60-70%, according to Germany's LANXESS.
As a net exporter of S-SBR and butadiene rubber (BR), Europe faces continued competition from Asia and Russia.
BD in Europe is structurally long and will become longer due to new capacities coming onstream over the next two to three years. However, the global market is structurally short and will become more balanced with the onset of new Asian capacities.

CM acted in partisan manner and must be replaced, says Mariani legislator
Differences within the ruling Congress in Assam came out in the open on Thursday with more than 20 of the total 79 legislators of the ruling party refraining from putting their signatures collected by some senior legislators to express full confidence in Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi.
The campaign was held in the Congress Legislature Party (CLP) chamber in the Assembly, in the wake of media reports about dissidence within the ruling party.
Some Congress MLAs told journalists that the signature campaign was unwarranted as no legislator had expressed no-confidence in Mr. Gogoi or raised a banner of revolt against him.
However, Mariani MLA Rupjyoti Kurmi charged Mr. Gogoi with acting in a partisan manner and not addressing grievances raised by him. He also said that Mr. Gogoi must be replaced.
This is the first time in 12 years that Mr. Gogoi has had to run such a campaign to establish that he was still the undisputed leader in the Congress.
The development came a day after 26 legislators met in the official quarters of senior Congress MLA from Abhayapuri South constituency, Chandan Sarkar, in the Dispur MLA hostel complex, to allegedly discuss plans to take their grievances to the high command.
Mr. Sarkar, however, said the gathering of MLAs at his residence was a 'casual' one and nothing was discussed about any revolt. He also denied any dissidence against Mr. Gogoi as reported in the media.
Parliamentary Secretary Bhupen Bora said the signature campaign was initiated in the wake of media reports about dissidence against him.
"We have not run the signature campaign on the directive of any leader. We have done it on our own. However, we admit that there are some grievances among some legislators, which I am sure, we will be able to address jointly," he added.
Gogoi declines to comment
Mr. Gogoi, however, declined any comment on Thursday though he went on record earlier that he was never bothered by dissidence. Two ex-Congress legislators — Chief Minister's Press Adviser Bharat Narah and the former Education Minister, Ripun Bora, — actively took part in the signature campaign.
Mr. Narah in a statement said the AICC general secretary, in charge of Assam, Digvijay Singh informed the Chief Minister that he had written a letter to Health and Education Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma seeking explanation for the alleged "anti-government stand" of a local television news channel News Live.
The News Live is headed by Riniki Bhuyan Sarma, wife of the Education Minister. "The Chief Minister lodged a complaint with the AICC alleging that News Live was taking an anti-government stand. Mr. Singh, while congratulating the Chief Minister for the party's victory in the recent panchayat polls, conveyed to him that an explanation has been sought from Mr. Himanta Sarma," Mr. Narah told The Hindu . Mr. Sarma, however, could not be immediately contacted for comment.
Earlier on Wednesday, the State government denied tapping telephones of any Congress legislator and dubbed media reports in this regard as "baseless."
The government issued the statement a day after four young Congress legislators — Pijush Hazarika, Jayanta Mall Baruah, Pallab Lochan Das and Rajen Barthakur met Speaker Pranab Kumar Gogoi and sought a probe. The four were among 13 Congress legislators, who took part in a public function in Dhekiajuli in northern Assam's Sonitpur district on March 3 in which Mr. Sarma laid the foundation stone of a polytechnic.
Speculation was rife in the media and political circles that the assembly of the legislators at Dhekiajuli a day ahead of the current budget session was a prelude to raising a banner of revolt against Mr. Gogoi.
However, the legislators including the Health Minister maintained that they had gone to attend the function at the invitation of the local Congress legislator, Habul Chakrabarty.

Militiamen besiege Libya's Justice Ministry
TRIPOLI, Libya Driving trucks mounted with anti-aircraft guns, dozens of militiamen surrounded the Justice Ministry in Tripoli on Tuesday, the third day of confrontation between the government and armed groups in the Libyan capital.
It was the latest in a series of shows of force by militias, most of which have ended without bloodshed but interrupted the country's political transition and created a climate of intimidation and a weakened state.
Militias, some of which evolved out of the rebel groups that overthrew Moammar Gadhafi in 2011, say they are rising up to force officials from the deposed dictator's regime from holding government posts, according to the state-own news agency LANA.
However, Libyan democracy activists say that they are bullying the government of Prime Minister Ali Zidan, who has vowed to restore the authority of the state, to prevent him from disbanding them.
On Tuesday, militiamen sealed off the roads to the Justice Ministry with their trucks, closed the building and turned away visitors.
On Sunday, about 200 armed men surrounded the Foreign Ministry and a day later, armed men stormed the Interior Ministry and a state-owned television station al-Wataniya TV, forcing its employees out and stopping its live broadcast. Journalists said they were beaten up and intimidated.
The unrest comes as Libya's legislature, the General National Congress, debates a draft law for "political isolation" which effectively filters out those who held any post under Gadhafi from political life.
An initial version of the law presented to the parliament would have banned a whole ruling class from politics, even though some had minor posts or left the government decades before the 2011 uprising against Gadhafi. One figure who might be targeted by the law, GNC head Mohammed el-Megarif, was ambassador to India before defecting to the opposition in 1980. A second is Mahmoud Jibril, a former aide to Gadhafi's son and the liberal-leaning head of the National Forces Alliance, the bloc with the biggest number of seats in parliament.
But the latest version of the draft law, posted on the official Facebook page of the GNC on Monday, included a new article that gives parliament powers to exempt some figures from the law, in apparent attempt to prevent removal of key figures.
That version is unlikely to satisfy the protesting militias and others who want a thorough purge of Libya's political class.
The militias' moves over the past days forced parliament to suspend its sessions until May 5. Politicians say the repeated shows of force have delayed the key process of drafting Libya's post-Gadhafi constitution.
Independent lawmaker Mohammed Somoud told The Associated Press on Monday that parliament is halting sessions because "there are people who want to turn against legitimacy," in reference to the militias.
"The situation is very dangerous and I am very saddened. I talked to those youth and told them you are playing with fire," he said.
The parliament, which has been criticized for incompetence and failure to pass key measures, has been further weakened by successive attacks by militiamen.

Re: Cat 25
I meant the difference in winter storage costs for you. Assume the C25 has a trailer. Do you have a tow vehicle that can pull 6000+ lbs for whatever the distance is you're going? If you hang out at the C25 site, most of the experienced trailer sailors will tell you that the C25 pushes the limit of most vehicles. We bought a V8 Dodge Durango with the expectation of being able to tow our C25. The guys on the C25 site suggested that the boat is something like 4500 lbs dry. Add in another 1000-1200 lbs for the trailer, plus the weight of the engine, food, fuel, water, etc., and you're easily looking at 6000 lbs. They suggested that you don't want your combined weight to be more than about 90% of your vehicle's capacity. For our Durango, that was 7000 lbs. Subtract out 10%, and we're at 6300 lbs. If we have a few hundred extra pounds of gear, we could find ourselves exceeding the rated limit. What most of the guys recommended were either dual axle pick-up trucks, or paying a tow truck to tow the boat on the trailer (if you have a trailer). If you have a capable tow vehicle, or are willing to take the chances, what are the fees to launch/retrieve the boat at the ramp? How much is gas? Any other expenses? If you have to rent/hire to get it towed, what will that cost?
Now compare that to the cost of keeping it at a yard ($600-$650) for the winter. Does the storage fee include hauling and launching, too? Power wash? It probably does (it does around here). You mentioned a cradle; doesn't the marina have stands? Most of the marinas around here have them and the winter storage fee includes the blocking of the boat by the marina with the marina's stands. Many of the marinas here said that they won't even let you provide your own stands because of insurance issues.
You don't have to give me actual numbers (or any numbers); that's really none of my business. I was just trying to give you a framework from which this could be analyzed. In the end, it's your money, your boat, your priorities, etc. But, sometimes, when you actually sit an run the numbers, the costs aren't as different as you thought they would be. In our case, we looked at having our C25 towed to us (we didn't have a trailer). It was going to cost almost $1000 to have it towed to us, blocked, and then towed back in the spring. Winter storage around here was $650 or $700. It wound up being a no-brainer.

MANILA, Philippines – Philippine troops on Thursday killed eight communist rebels, two of them women, in the latest flare-up of violence since talks to end one of Asia's longest running insurgencies broke down.
Soldiers were deployed to a poor, remote farming village in the eastern province of Sorsogon after residents complained of "prolonged extortion, abuses and threats" by New People's Army (NPA) rebels, armed forces spokesman Major Ramon Zagala said.
"Heavy casualties were inflicted on the NPA, while no casualty or damage was incurred by the government security forces," Zagala told AFP, adding the clashes went for about 35 minutes.
He said the bodies of eight NPA guerrillas were recovered, including two women, along with their rifles, grenade launchers and improvised bombs.
"The women were combatants for sure. They were found with high-powered rifles, with bandoliers packed with bullets around their bodies. They traded fire alongside the men," he said.
The NPA has been fighting successive governments for 44 years in a rebellion that has claimed at least 30,000 lives.
The military estimates the rebels have about 4,000 fighters, down from a peak of roughly 26,000 in the 1980s.
Zagala said that, while there were no specific figures, it was common for government troops to encounter female communist fighters.
He said the NPA recruited women as well as men from poor villages or universities, and they were trained to fight together.
The military refers to the armed female rebels as "amazonas", from the Greek mythology of women fighters.
President Benigno Aquino had been aiming to end the rebellion before his six-year term expires in 2016, but the government said in April that peace talks had collapsed.
The government blamed repeated demands by the NPA for comrades to be released from jail, as well as frequent attacks, for the failure of the talks.
Communist rebels have launched more assaults since the government said the peace process had failed, killing at least 34 civilians, police officers and soldiers, according to an AFP tally based on reports from authorities.
Local brigade commander Colonel Jose Kakilala said his troops involved in Thursday's fighting had responded to a distress call from the villagers.
"The prolonged extortion, abuses and threats of the NPA prompted the villagers to report them…and our soldiers responded to the call," Kakilala said in a statement.

No. 6 Salt Lake City
While the Utah city dropped four spots in the survey's affordability category this year, readers still found it to be family-friendly, peaceful, and pleasantly spic-and-span. Like a lot of reasonably priced cities, Salt Lake offers a discount pass on its tourist board website: Connect Pass easily pays for itself by bundling a long list of free meals and attractions, such as tours of Olympic Park or admission to the Natural History Museum of Utah and Hogle Zoo.
No. 7 Houston
Business travelers will like how this city affects their per diem: according to Zagat, restaurant meals are about $3 cheaper than the national average. You can bring that average down even more if you stick with the city's old-school Tex-Mex—like Ninfa's on Navigation, which claims to be home of the nation's first fajitas (Mama's Tacos al Carbon, $9.99). Hotel values, meanwhile, include Midtown's new La Maison, which starts at $159 a night. The city also scored in the top 10 for its classical music, which can be heard for free at Miller Outdoor Theatre in Hermann Park.
No. 8 Savannah, Ga.
This southern town may have strolled into the affordable top 10 using its pedestrian-friendly charm. Voters appreciate the portable happy hours (thanks to open-container laws) and the rich history, which you can access with walking-tour apps such as Historic Savannah and Haunted Savannah ($2.99 each). You could also call it a history tour when you check out the city's top-ranked frozen desserts at Leopold's Ice Cream parlor (est. 1919). The downtown institution sells old-fashioned sodas and rum bisque, lemon custard, and tutti-frutti ice cream.
No. 9 Austin, Texas
Many of the Texas capital's diversions are geared toward local college students and young techie types. Among the best food trucks, for instance, is Gourdough's on South Lamar, which may finally legitimize the donut as a complete meal: its Boss Hog donut ($5.50) is topped with pulled pork, potato salad, and honey BBQ sauce. Meanwhile, one of the most classic, all-ages Austin experiences costs just $3: taking a dip in Barton Springs in Zilker Park; it's great for some free and colorful people-watching.
No. 10 Providence, R.I.
The diverse Rhode Island capital is the only northeastern city to make the budget-friendly top 10 this year, perhaps thanks to its crowd-pleasing dining, arts, and theater scenes. No-cover-charge events are especially common in summer: on the third Thursday of the month, for instance, you can take part in the free Gallery Nights, which feature free rides on an Art Bus. In summertime, it's also free to stroll through the WaterFire displays, evening bonfires that line the city's rivers.

K1600GTL or GS/GSA?

I almost traded my 09 GS on a new 1600GT. Very glad I did not. Test rode a GTL, my legs are much too long and it was very uncomfortable. The GT fits me well, but still not as comfy as the trusty GS, which fits me perfectly. I am 6', with 34' inseam. The windprotection is awesome on the GT, no so much on the GS, even with an aeroflow screen. The GT is very powerful with the associated twitchy (read very touchy) thottle. Both handle very well, the GS more so in my hands. Gas milage is about the same at superslab speeds, I thought the GT would be better. At the end of the day, the GT is a very heavy road bike with wonderful manners, but heaven forbid you should have to turn it around on a narrow, unimproved road- again,it is a very heavy beast. So, I use the GT on long paved highway road trips, and the GS when I will go down more adventuresome paths. Very thankful to have both! Good luck on your decision!

KUCHING: Sarawak leaders have warned those inciting hate and seditious remarks through blogs and online social media to not cross the line and risk political stability and racial unity in the country.
Deputy Home Minister Datuk Dr Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar said although freedom of expression may be practised in the country, Internet users on blogs and social networks should not cross the line and incite hate and anger.
He was commenting on anti-Christian and anti-East Malaysian sentiments expressed on Facebook in a page called "Semenanjung Malaysia Anti Sabah and Sarawak" which mocked Christianity and East Malaysians. It contained photographs mocking Christianity, including one of a frog nailed to a cross which has angered many Sabahans and Sarawakians.
There were retaliatory Facebook pages with postings talking about secession and demanding that Sarawak and Sabah leave Malaysia.
Wan Junaidi said that although the Government and the authorities were tolerant, laws were still in place and warned people not to take it too far.
PRS president Datuk Dr James Masing, a senior Dayak state minister, who also admitted that he was sometimes vocal and critical of the Federal Government, said it was better to improve federation rather than tearing it apart.
"I don't agree (with secession). I have sometimes been critical of the Federal Government's handling of the 'kalimah Allah' issue. But it was not to bring down the federation."

Very nice quality material - feels nice with a bit of stretch. Like others said they're the right amount of baggy and don't look sloppy and don't feel like sausage casings on my thighs. If you have an "athletic" build they fit great. If you have twiggy legs you might not like these. The main drawback is that the hip pockets are frustratingly short. My iphone won't fit in them. If i put my hand in them, I get my fingers in and that's about it. It's just kinda weird.
If your lucky enough to find these jeans, don't hesitate order. They are very comfortable and as usual, awesome product from Patagonia. Jeans seem to run a little big.
This is my second pair of these jeans, wear them around town and to work. Usually not a jeans kinda guy, but I like the way these look. They are stitched very well, and seem like they will stand up to abuse when I use them during travel. The cut is straight and slim, without being too tight, although a gusseted crotch would be a very welcome addition. The restriction in the crotch area, IMO, is what keeps these from being near perfect. Over all they are still a well made product, from a great company. Love Patagonia! ;)
You can tell these jeans were build to last. Love the fit of a 30 (I am usually a 31 or 32 in other brands). Perfect room through the legs, not too tight, not too baggy. These work great for any activity and I even wear them to work.

Despite some snags in the recent days, the Seattle Mariners and SP Felix Hernandez have reached a deal on his new contract worth a reported $175 million dollars. The two parties will hold a news conference on Wednesday to announce the deal making Hernandez the highest paid pitcher in Major League Baseball.
As originally reported last week, Hernandez's deal rolls the last two years of his current contract into what amounts to a five-year extension. Hernandez, 27, has a career record of 98-76 with a 3.22 ERA. He was awarded the AL Cy Young Award in 2010. During his career, Hernandez has allowed two runs or less in 141 or 238 career starts.
Earlier in the week, it was announced that Hernandez would skip this year's World Baseball Classic while working on his new deal. It was also reported this week that perhaps elbow injury issues could be holding up his new deal. Those issues now appear to be in the past and the Mariners will officially announce the deal later this afternoon.

09.11.04 - Finally theres some good news for boxing - a sport that has suffered more downs than ups in recent years - as it has been announced that over 5.2 million viewers tuned in to the season premiere of the new FOX network reality show "The Next Great Champ" on Tuesday, September 7. Said Executive Producer Oscar De La Hoya, "This is the first time in many years that our sport is being showcased on network television during primetime, and the fact that The Next Great Champ attracted so many people clearly demonstrates that boxing is not dead. All along, my goal was - and continues to be - to help boxing. If, as a result of this show, we are able to attract a new generation of fight fans and show Corporate America that boxing has its rightful place along other major sports like football, baseball, and basketball, then my mission has been accomplished."
The 5.2 million viewers who tuned in to The Next Great Champ represent one of the largest audiences in recent history watching a boxing-related event in prime time. "I hope that this show also paved
the way for the other boxing related show, The Contender, to attract new viewers and create new fans, continues De La Hoya. I sincerely hope that they will be as successful in attracting a new audience to our sport as we have been. I look at these two shows as a 1-2 punch combination, with boxing coming out as the ultimate winner."
Richard Schaefer, CEO of Golden Boy Promotions, adds, "I think that it is important to put the success of this show in perspective. While in the world of reality television and its continued race for better ratings the network expectations might have been higher, we have to realize that 5.2 million people watching a boxing related show is without question a success for the sport of boxing."
The second all-new installment of "The Next Great Champ will air on Tuesday, September 14th, at 9pm / 8pm Central on FOX. If you missed the season premiere, there will be an encore presentation of the hard-hitting opener on Friday, September 10, also at 9pm / 8pm Central.

This sounded like a yummy way to use up a loaf of bread. I think I'll stick to bread pudding or french toast. The dish is pretty tasty, but the mushy bread texture makes it something I won't make again.
Tomato & Spinach Dinner Strata
From EatingWell: May/June 2011, EatingWell Fast & Flavorful Meatless Meals (2011)
This yummy lasagna-inspired casserole has cheese, vegetables, eggs and marinara sauce but uses sturdy whole-grain bread instead of noodles, which makes it even easier to make. Its hearty look hides the fact that it's made with all low-fat, healthful ingredients. Of course, it makes a great brunch entree as well—don't let the name fool you.
2 Reviews for Tomato & Spinach Dinner Strata
I love this recipe. I wasn't sure about the eggs and bread with the marinara sauce, but it was really fantastic. I used lite white bread because I didn't have whole wheat on hand. I also added 4 links of Italian style turkey sausage (Gemelli brand) for added protein. Other than those 2 changes, I made the recipe exactly as described. I used a 9 x 13 pan since I added the sausage and it fit well without any spilling over when cooking. I will make again. The only thing I would do is I would remove the bread crust (and add an additional slice to make up for the crust) if serving for company. From an asthetic standpoint, it was odd seeing the crusts when eating it.

Originally written on NFL Trade Rumors | Last updated 11/17/14
Chicago Bears DT Henry Melton mentioned that he's "optimistic" that he and the Bears will be able to reach an agreement on a long-term contract extension before the start of free agency. "We were talking during the season," said Melton while appearing on the "The Waddle and Silvy Show," via ESPN Chicago. "I expressed my interest in coming back and staying here. We didn't get anything done. All the coaching changes and all that have delayed it. Hopefully we can get back on schedule of getting something done." "We were getting somewhere, but we couldn't really come to a deal," added Melton. "Hopefully we can get back on track, because I do want to stay in Chicago." Melton, 26, is coming off of back-to-back solid seasons for the Bears. It's not easy to find young interior pass rushers on the open market, so we're admittedly very high Melton as he prepares for what figures to be a lucrative offseason for the former Longhorn. Chicago could also franchise Melton for $8.31 million and buy them some extra time negotiate a long-term deal. We have Melton listed as the No. 5 best available player in our Top 50 Free Agents list. The post Henry Melton Optimistic About Reaching A Long-term Agreement With The Bears appeared first on NFL Trade Rumors -.

This lecture will review the history of Cairo from the 10th century to the present. It will survey the city's outstanding architecture, encompassing the gamut of Islamic styles as well as every 19th and 20th century Western style and interpret it in light of its urban, cultural, and political setting. Cairo in fact forces us to reconsider the relationship between the city's character and its architecture and to cast it in a new interpretive framework, which may shed light on many historic cities today.
Aga Khan Professor, Nasser Rabbat, will show how this historic city still shines today as a cultural center of its three spheres of influence: the Arab world, Africa and the Islamic world.
Doors Open: 6:30 pm
Viewing of Cairo Under Wraps: 6:30-7:15 pm

Wonderful staff--warm, friendly, and accommodating. The room was clean, lovely, and comfortable. The kitchen made it really easy to prepare a small meal. And, I love having an ice maker in my room! The room came with microwave popcorn and that was a plus! The only thing I would change are the pillows, not my favorite type and not enough variety. Otherwise, all good!

As python3 is getting standard more and more I wonder wether there is or will be support for python 3 in QGIS?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Geographic Information Systems Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for cartographers, geographers and GIS professionals. It's 100% free, no registration required.
There definitely be support for python 3 at some point. The big problem is that likely many of the plugins would need to be manually ported to work again and that is mostly out of the hands of QGIS developers. As such, it will be an unpleasant, but inevitable, moment in history. Maybe it will happen along with the other planned api breaks for 2.0, but http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer is really your best bet.

Ordered this intake from elite due to there location being th closest to me, and was not very satisfied on time it took to recieve order, did not get any updates or notices on being backordered or why it took so long, product does perform incredibly. Do have a problem with it and will be contacting elite about it.
Easy to navigate just wish you had even more products
After my order was placed on September first I called the customer service dept on september 20th to ask them about my order the person I spoke to said he would have to call me back later that day and ever did. On the 21 I called custormer service again only to hear the same thing " I will have to call you back after I find your order" and again never called back. The next day I called again this time I got someone to help and said I would have my order in five to seven more days. My order came today the 29th and two out of the four things I ordered are wrong. So its time for some more great customer service to try and fix my order.

Manchester United legend Gary Neville is in awe of former teammate Ryan Giggs.
Neville says he was amazed that Giggs, who was 40 on Friday, could turn in such a dazzling display in United's 5-0 hammering of Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League.
He said: "What Ryan is doing now is incredible.
"If you didn't know he was Ryan Giggs, you didn't know his age and you just watched the game against Leverkusen, you could argue he was 25. It was staggering to watch."
And he added: "You think of those types of things in the 1950s and 1960s when you hear of players like Stanley Matthews playing into their 40s and 50s but you would never think it would happen now.
"You think a defender or goalkeeper could play on but a winger, who has played from 17 to 40 and has adapted his game and is still looking like he can beat a player, it is brilliant."

text: For quite a few years, Brent Krahn was the Flames' most important goalie prospect. I often used to think -- as recently as the 06/07 season -- that it wouldn't be so bad if a little injury gave him the opportunity to show his stuff for a couple of weeks, or that maybe the big club should install him as the backup and give him periodic starts. He wasn't setting the minors on fire or anything, but at least then we'd know what we had, right!But seeing the Oilers for the last couple months now, I have a good idea how that would have went.

A surfer from sunny Southern Cali has a secret he wants to tell Dirty Tony! He likes to be tied up, whipped, electrocuted, the whole nine yards! His nickname is Monkey (for the antics he pulls in the domination dungeon and biting girls). You could tell he was used to someone telling him what to do in the bedroom. I got this dirty little Monkey to bite a pillow for me in the studio while shoving a nightstick sized dildo in his hole. But it was the smaller silver one that got those big blue eyes really shining. He literally bent over backwards for me. And like a good boy should, got his well-deserved desserts in the end!

Members in the Lok Sabha today expressed outrage over the humiliation suffered by two Sikh players in the just concluded 5th Fiba Asia Cup in China where the organisers did not allow them to wear the turbans while playing. Raising the issue during Zero Hour, Prem Singh Chandumajra (SAD) said efforts should be made to prevent recurrence of such incidents.
India should also ensure that action is taken against those intrumental in "meting out the humiliation", he said. Jagdambika Pal (BJP) said the issue was a serious one and government should take due note. The members said in spite of the humiliation, the Indian team came up winners as they scripted a historic win over China and gave a scare to World Cup qualifiers Iran, Jordan and the Philippines.
Reports had it that two Sikh players, Amritpal Singh and Amjyot Singh, were asked to remove their turbans before the start of the match on July 12 at the recently concluded 5th Fiba Asia Cup at Wuhan. They were stopped from entering the court moments before India were to open their campaign against Japan.
US lawmakers ask International Basketball Federation to review policy on Sikh turbans
Appalled by reports that Sikh players from India were asked to remove their turbans at an international basketball match, top US lawmakers have launched a campaign asking the International Basketball Federation (FIBA) to review the discriminatory policy."We are concerned about recent reports indicating that Sikhs are not able to participate in International Basketball Federation (FIBA) games while wearing a turban, which is essential to their faith, and ask you to change this discriminatory policy," said a letter addressed to Yvan Mainini, FIBA president.

Sports Ministry on Wednesday expressed "shock and outrage" over the incident of two Sikh players being asked to remove their turbans at the recently-concluded Fiba Asia Cup in China and sought details from the basket Federation of India (BFI), which has already taken up the matter with the international body. "We have written to them and are awaiting their response. Once we get the response, we will act accordingly," a Basketball Federation of India spokesperson told. Read more

The menu is nine courses starting with canapés, followed by goose foie gras with smoked eel, then shellfish mariniere with spinach and truffles, bass and kernel of scallops, cutlet and saddle of lamb, small ice cream log with pralines and of course, a tangy rose iced mousse with red berries.
Rooms at the Meurice for a three-day break begin at $767 a night, but that includes breakfast, tea on Christmas afternoon and chocolates for children.
In Lech, Austria, one of the premier ski resorts in the Alps, there is a Christmas break that harkens back to an earlier century and a time when hotels were run by families.
The Gasthof Post is a hotel that dates to 1650 and sits along what was once a pack horse track through an Alpine pass. It has been run by the same family since 1937.
The staff performs a nativity play on Christmas Eve by a roaring fire and Sandra Moosebrugger, wife of manager Florian Moosebrugger, reads the Christmas story from the Bible.
And of course, there's a brass band and huge traditional meals. Christmas Eve includes asparagus aspic, saddle of lamb, pickled ox cheek, smoked breast of pigeon, venison, cheese and rhubarb and curd.
But all of this comes at a price -- with or without snow. A double room is $741 a night. Christmas Eve dinner is extra.
Despite the prices, hotels find themselves fully booked for Christmas. Even the rooms at the Huka Lodge near far-off Wellington, New Zealand, are full.
Sitting near a roaring waterfall, Huka Lodge was founded in the 1920s by an Irishman named Alan Pye, who discovered the hotel's setting. Then, it was an informal hunting and fishing and sleeping lodge with canvas tents.
Today, it is all about luxury.
The three-day Christmas break -- including meals -- costs $5,100 for two. There is hiking, trout fishing, tennis, soaking in hot pools, horseback riding and helicopter rides to the Kaimanawa mountain ranges. Fishing in the mountains is followed by another helicopter ride to Lake Taupo, where lunch and a chilled bottle of New Zealand wine await. And then there is the gourmet food in the lodge's dining room.
By the way, prices don't include airfare.
A little bit closer to home, in the French region of Beaujolais, the Chateau de Bagnols is becoming increasingly popular with Americans.
"In our opinion, Christmas is no longer the religious event it used to be, compared to Latin countries where it is still a family event," says Sarah Ansari, the Chateau's front office manager.
Chateau de Bagnols offers a visit to the Christmas market in nearby Lyon, champagne and jazz on Christmas Eve and a seven-course Christmas dinner. That meal includes scallops, winter vegetables with truffles, roasted turbot, traditional Christmas turkey from Bresse, a selection of fresh and mature cheeses and dessert.
The cost is approximately $2,200 per room.
The hotel is part of the Rocco Forte group. In its Cardiff, Wales, hotel alone, it estimates they will cook 240 turkeys ranging from 16 to 22 pounds.
London's century-old Ritz Hotel, a jewel on Piccadilly next to Green Park, offers a three-day break for those who want to spend most of their time indoors.
It all starts on Dec. 23 with champagne and canapés in your room, a chauffeur-driven car to take you to the theater, and then a post-theater dinner in the Ritz restaurant.

Originally published in the JOURNAL OF PASSTHROUGH ENTITIES - March–April 2012.
The number of inadvertent termination and inadvertent invalid S election rulings the IRS continues to issue each year suggests there are opportunities for tax professionals to provide more and better services to their clients aimed at monitoring and maintaining their S elections. Several recent rulings point out that the inadvertent terminationat issue was first discovered when a sale of the corporation was under negotiation. Unfortunately, problems giving rise to requests for relief under Code Sec. 1362(f) are commonly detected during the due diligence preceding an acquisition.
The unintentional loss of an S election is serious whenever it occurs, but discovering an inadvertent termination during the due diligence leading up to the sale of an S corporation can be disastrous. When the validity of the target's S election is critical, as often is the case, the transaction may have to be delayed for four to six months or longer while the parties seek inadvertent termination relief from the IRS through the ruling process. If the IRS refuses to issue an acceptable ruling, the terms of the deal may have to be re-negotiated, or the transaction may fall apart completely. The discovery of a defect in the S election while a transaction is pending is akin to having the family automobile break down during a vacation trip up the Alaska Highway. Preventive maintenance can go a long way toward avoiding both kinds of disappointment (or worse).

Cheney's Speech Tonight
4:09 PM, Oct 21, 2009 • By WILLIAM KRISTOL
Dick Cheney that is, who will be speaking at the Center for Security Policy tonight. The speech is a real humdinger. Check back here at 6 for the full text of the former vice president's remarks.
Update: Highlights from the Cheney speech...
Most anyone who is given responsibility in matters of national security quickly comes to appreciate the commitments and structures put in place by others who came before. You deploy a military force that was planned and funded by your predecessors. You inherit relationships with partners and obligations to allies that were first undertaken years and even generations earlier. With the authority you hold for a little while, you have great freedom of action. And whatever course you follow, the essential thing is always to keep commitments, and to leave no doubts about the credibility of your country's word.
So among my other concerns about the drift of events under the present administration, I consider the abandonment of missile defense in Eastern Europe to be a strategic blunder and a breach of good faith. ...
You hardly have to go back to 1939 to understand why these countries desire - and thought they had - a close and trusting relationship with the United States. Only last year, the Russian Army moved into Georgia, under the orders of a man who regards the collapse of the Soviet Union as the greatest geopolitical disaster of the 20th century. Anybody who has spent much time in that part of the world knows what Vladimir Putin is up to. And those who try placating him, by conceding ground and accommodating his wishes, will get nothing in return but more trouble.
What did the Obama Administration get from Russia for its abandonment of Poland and the Czech Republic, and for its famous "Reset" button? Another deeply flawed election and continued Russian opposition to sanctioning Iran for its pursuit of nuclear weapons.
In the short of it, President Obama's cancellation of America's agreements with the Polish and Czech governments was a serious blow to the hopes and aspirations of millions of Europeans. For twenty years, these peoples have done nothing but strive to move closer to us, and to gain the opportunities and security that America offered. These are faithful friends and NATO allies, and they deserve better. The impact of making two NATO allies walk the plank won't be felt only in Europe. Our friends throughout the world are watching and wondering whether America will abandon them as well.
I have long been skeptical of engagement with the current regime in Tehran, but even Iran experts who previously advocated for engagement have changed their tune since the rigged elections this past June and the brutal suppression of Iran's democratic protestors. The administration clearly missed an opportunity to stand with Iran's democrats, whose popular protests represent the greatest challenge to the Islamic Republic since its founding in 1979. Instead, the President has been largely silent about the violent crackdown on Iran's protestors, and has moved blindly forward to engage Iran's authoritarian regime. Unless the Islamic Republic fears real consequences from the United States and the international community, it is hard to see how diplomacy will work.
We should all be concerned as well with the direction of policy on Afghanistan. For quite a while, the cause of our military in that country went pretty much unquestioned, even on the left. The effort was routinely praised by way of contrast to Iraq, which many wrote off as a failure until the surge proved them wrong. Now suddenly - and despite our success in Iraq - we're hearing a drumbeat of defeatism over Afghanistan. These criticisms carry the same air of hopelessness, they offer the same short-sighted arguments for walking away, and they should be summarily rejected for the same reasons of national security.
Having announced his Afghanistan strategy last March, President Obama now seems afraid to make a decision, and unable to provide his commander on the ground with the troops he needs to complete his mission.
President Obama has said he understands the stakes for America. When he announced his new strategy he couched the need to succeed in the starkest possible terms, saying, quote, "If the Afghan government falls to the Taliban - or allows al-Qaeda to go unchallenged - that country will again be a base for terrorists who want to kill as many of our people as they possibly can." End quote.
Five months later, in August of this year, speaking at the VFW, the President made a promise to America's armed forces. "I will give you a clear mission," he said, "defined goals, and the equipment and support you need to get the job done. That's my commitment to you."
