SEBs unplugged
August 1, 2002
T K Arun rightly asks for the liquidation of SEBs (the Economic Times, July 25). The experience of 50 years proves that, rather than experiment with the boards (as in Orissa) liquidation is the only remedy. Reforms have become meaningless owing to theft & dacoity (T&D) losses though. If we could plug them, the sky would be the limit to the nation's progress. Kuldeep Sharma

November 7, 2015
ET Bureau
MUMBAI: Shares of power sector lenders dived on Friday on worries the new restructuring package for the ailing power distribution companies (discoms) would impact their earnings.

Shares of public sector banks, which are big lenders to discoms, however, rose on Friday in a listless market partly because of better-than-expected second quarter results...
Power traders set to trip SEB monopoly
October 5, 2004
Anto T Joseph & Suresh Nair , TNN
MUMBAI: The Power Purchase Agreement (PPA), the contract which power producers signed with state electricity boards (SEBs), is losing its importance. The cash-strapped SEBs have lost the monopoly they enjoyed as sole purchasers of electricity from producers. Power trading companies have established themselves as the "middlemen" between SEBs and generators, and have signed power offtake agreements with new producers. For traders, a strong payment security mechanism is in place, which includes...

November 6, 2015

October 8, 2015
Biswajit Baruah , ET Bureau
MUMBAI: Shares of state-owned banks such as Punjab National Bank, Canara Bank, Bank of India and others that have underperformed the market so far this year may get rerated if the government clears the plan to restructure Rs 4.3 lakh crore loans of nine state power distribution companies.

SEBs to get more time to unbundle
July 7, 2004

'We're hoping SEBs will pay up'
May 30, 2002
Soma Banerjee , TNN
Bhel, the country's leading power equipment manufacturer has managed to maintain a steady growth in its turnover even though power sector reforms have failed and the sector's growth has stagnated. Like every other company whose bread and butter depends on the shaky finances of state electricity boards (SEBs), BHEL too has been facing tough times due to non-payment of bills by the state utilities. But unlike central power sector units like NTPC and NHPC, which are now being issued bonds...
'Electricity Bill biased in favour of SEBs'
December 6, 2001
Anto T Joseph
the much-hyped electricity bill, 2001, which is awaiting the final government nod before being introduced in parliament, may not be enough to change the shape of india's electricity market and unbundle state electricity boards, as had been promised earlier. a last-moment insertion in the final (seventh) draft of the bill, under section 167, has diluted its primary objective ? that of breaking the monopolies of sebs and making them more accountable and transparent by splitting...
SEBs learn to draw their lines
November 6, 2003
MUMBAI: The new system introduced by Power Grid Corporation of India (PGCIL) soon after the five-state power blackout in July '02 has forced various states, attached to the five regional grids, to observe grid discipline, and avoid overdrawal of power from the system.

Once the playground of tyrants like Uganda's Idi Amin, Ethiopia's Mengistu Haile Mariam, and Zaire's Mobutu Sese Seko, Africa is finally shedding its postcolonial heritage of despotism and chaos. In Uganda, Rwanda, Ethiopia, and Eritrea, a new generation of nationalist leaders with strong and disciplined armies is emerging to take control of the continent. Their fights against the old foreign-supported order have left them suspicious of anything that comes from abroad, especially from France. Still, they are far more accountable and egalitarian than their predecessors-and they want to get into the United States' good books.

In his 2013 State of the Union address, President Obama stated "Our first priority is making America a magnet for new jobs and manufacturing." His "Framework for Business Tax Reform" would support this priority by focusing and deepening the existing tax deduction for domestic manufacturing activities. Others, including Senator Orrin Hatch, ranking minority member of the Finance Committee, are cool to the idea, saying, "We're starting to come back in manufacturing, and I don't think you need the government to show the way for them."
On March 15, the Urban-BrookingsTax Policy Center and the International Tax Policy Forum hosted a conference to assess the current state of U.S. manufacturing, its contribution to U.S. economic growth, and whether tax reform should maintain, deepen, or eliminate preferential income tax treatment of manufacturing income.
Brookings Co-Director of the Tax Policy Center William Gale gave introductory remarks and moderated the first panel with Brookings Director of the Initiative on Business and Public Policy Martin Baily, and Tax Policy Center Director Donald Marron served as a panelist. Former member of the Council of Economic Advisers Laura D'Andrea Tyson delivered the keynote address. After each panel, speakers took questions from the audience.

For those who don't know him, he's a little fire-demon from the Ghibli movie Howl's Moving Castle (and originally the novel by Diana Wynne Jones). :3
My first try with a somewhat more complicated animation, please be nice.
24 colours, 4 frames
Steal and Calcifer will make your life hell!!!
Calcifer belongs to Diana Wynne Jones
Art belongs to ValaSedai
some more Ghibli pixels I did:
piece of awesomeness
Woah, not bad. The background is great.
Fine remake of the Miyazaki character. Very impressive !
I love Calcifer! He's so cute ^.^
very cute! i love howl's moving castle!
i have found memories of calcifer
Howls Moving Castle is EPIC!!!
Calcifer TOO!!!
Calcifer TOO!!!
Omg, i LOVED howls moving castle! its one of my fav movies

It's interesting this bagging of Australian crowds. I'm sure I've seen a lot of matches in England where the grounds are less than full, notwithstanding their small size. There are also thousands less Poms out here this time than the past few tours. Suppose it's the economy there, dunno.

Ci spiace, ma questo articolo è disponibile soltanto in English.
R E < O R D S, records mutate into apps
"Net label" is the established definition of record labels that produce only mp3 files and usually give them away (or sometimes even sell them) online. Delaware, an atypical Japanese music/design group, has established "R E < O R D S", an "iPhone/iPodTouch label" selling their products as apps. The music product in this embodiment mutates into an app, being a self-sufficient "player" containing the music. They are on sale as "records", sticking, in a nice media paradox, with the vinyl form, but making it virtual. So they have covers, for example and the player effectively emulates a classic vinyl record player. So it's possible to use fingertips to pick up the "spinning record" and drop where the listener wants (thanks to the touchscreen). And to add a little bit of magic; to access the B-side users must flip the iPhone (as if we'd flip the record). Closer to 7" or EPs these "records" are re-enabling some instinctive "gestures", delightfully exploiting our iPhone interface infatuation.

Michael Harden hails the simple pleasures of bird and beverage.
I'm a massive fan of Korean friend chicken, there are many fried chicken places in Seoul. I was a big fan of their sweet chilli chicken and their beer is quite refreshing and easy to drink. A great place to hang out with mates!
It was a bit hard to review when we visited for lunch, especially since it wasn't open despite opening hours being advertised as 1-3pm daily. There were clearly people inside, but not considerate enough to tell us if they were going to open.
The original and better store is at HEALEYS LANE, MELBOURE. Next to popular Korean Restaurant - Shinssi.

A look at the proposed Copley Place Tower
Elkus Manfredi Architects
Waterfront development
Mayor Menino is trying to develop the South Boston waterfront.
More in Business
Built by Chicago-based Urban Investment and Development Co., Copley Place was at the time the largest mixed-use project in the country. It was criticized by neighbors and some public officials for the way its hulking buildings towered over town houses in the South End.
The original $500 million project eventually included the Westin and Marriott hotels, four office buildings, a shopping mall, 100 apartments, and a 1,400-space parking garage.
Shown: An interior shot of the building.

Pharmaceuticals Research & Development Managers in the United States can expect to earn an average of $97K per year. Making up 73 percent of those who took the survey, male Pharmaceuticals Research & Development Managers greatly outnumber their female counterparts. Almost all report receiving medical coverage from their employers and a large number collect dental insurance. Most Pharmaceuticals Research & Development Managers like their work and job satisfaction is high. Respondents to the PayScale salary survey provided the data for this report.
Add this chart to your site:
Copy and paste this HTML:
A research & development (R&D) manager for pharmaceuticals supervises the work of teams developing new drugs and/or improving existing drugs. The R&D manager carefully directs team members in working toward various research goals, as well as compiling data regarding the team's findings. As the manager, this person typically uses this data to issue progress reports to a director or vice president of R&D; these reports help the company accurately forecast when theoretical research or trials may result in practical application in marketable drug therapies. It also allows the manager and the executives to whom he or she reports to direct or refocus research as needed.Read More...
Much of the work done in R&D for pharmaceuticals involves studying the reactions that various compounds have on organic molecules and structures. Typically researchers on an R&D team are assigned a specific set of materials on which to focus, and the R&D manager ensures that this focus is maintained. R&D team members use research to draw potential conclusions; throughout this process, the R&D manager works to direct research and reports on results. As a potential drug's development progresses, the R&D manager for pharmaceuticals provides input to director-level scientists on implementing the clinical trial process. Typically, the R&D manager works closely with clinical researchers and testers, providing information from within the company to researchers and medical professionals participating in the clinical trial process.
An R&D manager for pharmaceuticals typically has extensive education in biochemistry or a related applied biology or chemistry field. Typically, managers are persons who have worked as team leaders within an R&D department as well. Most R&D managers for pharmaceuticals work in a clinical laboratory environment during regular business hours.

Groothius skates to home glory
Stefan Groothius gave the home crowd plenty to cheer about after his victory in Herenveen wrapped up the ISU Speed Skating World Cup title.
The 29-year-old headed to his home country on top of the overall leaderboard and kept his nerve to claim the crown with a winning time of one minute 8.66 seconds.
Groothius was 0.34 seconds ahead of South Korea's Kyou-Hyuk Lee who settles for second in the overall standings, while Shani Davis cemented third spot with bronze in a time of 1:09.21.
Lee also had to settle for over silver in the 500m despite winning gold in Herenveen.
Lee posted a winning time of 35.00 but still finished some way behind compatriot Kang-Seok Lee for the title even with his third place finish.
Japan's Yuya Oikawa finished second in 35.11 but it was his compatriot Joji Kato that held on to his World Cup bronze despite finishing 14th.
In the women's 1000m Heather Richardson from the USA just managed to claim the World Cup title with her sixth place finish in Holland.
Her nearest challenger was Canada's Chrstine Nesbitt but her fourth-place finish wasn't enough to leapfrog the American.
And there was plenty to cheer about for the home crowd with all three medals going to Dutch skaters, Ireen Wust with gold, Marrit Leenstra in silver and Laurine van Riessen collecting bronze.
In the 500m Jenny Wolf displayed her domionance as she rounded off her victorious World Cup campaign with gold in Herenveen, winning in 38.37.
South Korea's Sang-Hwa Lee secured her overall silver with second place, 0.11 seconds behind Wolf, while bronze on the day went to Holland's Annette Gerritsen.

From the southern Caribbean it will likely move WNW or NW towards the northwestern Caribbean. The GFS parallel takes it on an Alex like track afterwards.

It has been performing better than the regular GFS from what I have seen so far.

Well yeah! That would work too. I would've assumed he changed it because he wasn't bald…? Or maybe he is, I have no idea.
This makes me wanna try my hand at Final Fantasy Classic...
because an epic fight to the death can happen...on second thought, yeah, invite him!
whatever happened to corey?
More like a welcome misheard lyric, but whatever, I love this cover :)
I miss Corey...
and why not exactly?
it would never be the same without u corey
Woaah. Props to this man for taking the singing a step up. Also, "broke and kind of an asshole"? A welcome contextual change. Love it.
I approve of this...just don't bring Tom
o3o Dood I want to hear a song about my boy Jose! Cory mite have been the only girl then but now theres more and yet there is no one who can fill the giant hole that Jose left. No new good mexicans for ScrewAttack at this rate. D:
Personally I'd like to see a collaboration between the two. The subject matter is irrelevant.
Because Brent is somehow under-qualified this time around?
I doubt that would happen, after "The Thing that Happened". Poor Handsome Tom.
Jared = fair head?
Jarrrrrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeddddddddddd!!!!!!!!! I can't think of any good word to ryme with Jaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeddddddd!!!!
In the youtube coments Brent says the song reminds him of that band. So no It's not really them.
this is the greatest love song ever composed.
Corey! Lauren! Corey! Lauren! Corey! Lauren!

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, was right. If the tea party were to brave a government shutdown in a bid to defund Obamacare, the stout of heart would prevail, and wobbly partisans would run for cover.
Unfortunately for the GOP, Cruz was right about the wrong party. The 16-day partial shutdown in October hurt Republicans, who folded because they never had the votes to sustain it. As polls showed voters blaming Republicans, Democrats emerged secure in the knowledge that the next budget negotiations would be a win-win. Democrats could win by forcing a deal that increased spending. If that failed, they could win another shutdown.
Ergo, the two-year Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013 announced Tuesday by Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., and Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash. It's an ugly deal -- if the best deal opposing forces could forge.
Before the shutdown, those Republicans who could count believed that the smart GOP objective would be to maintain the sequester cuts in full. But with Democrats in a "go ahead, make my day" state of mind, Ryan went for sequester lite. "In divided government, you don't always get what you want," he said Tuesday.
Under the 2011 Budget Control Act, annual discretionary spending was supposed to be capped at $967 billion in 2014. Under the Ryan-Murray deal, discretionary spending would be $1.01 trillion next year; essentially, the deal splits the difference between House and Senate budget bills. Fiscal hawks had to give up about $63 billion of hard-fought sequester cuts that were part of the 2011 budget bill.
Democrats won their main objective: They sliced the 2011 sequester spending cuts. In return, they gave up their bid to extend unemployment insurance benefits and agreed to a modest increase in federal employee and military pension contributions.
Rep. Tim Huelskamp, R-Kansas, who likely will vote no, told CNN that the problem with compromise is that whenever Democrats and Republicans reach a deal, spending goes up. Never down.
It's disappointing that Ryan and Murray couldn't come together to pass much-needed entitlement reform -- the biggest driver in Washington's unsustainable deficit spending. Also disappointing: They didn't agree to meaningful (as opposed to token) cuts in corporate welfare and farm pork. There's the usual gimmickry -- such as putting off the big cuts into the future.
Ryan was able to argue that the House-Senate deal wouldn't raise taxes, because instead it would increase fees, including airline ticket fees. Technically, he's right.

"There is no mystery in the large crowd at the funeral. Golam Azam was an infirm old man. The party knew that this was going to happen, and prepared for it. For a well-organised party like Jamaat, how difficult is it to pull off a crowd if you have months (if not years) to prepare for?"

New York: Those Protests outside Marriott
It started as a carefree walk through New York's Times Square to unwind after a long day. Then, far off in the background, I thought I heard sounds I hadn't heard for years and not on this side of the planet. The pulsing of slogans, and high-pitched oratory that once seemed so impressive even if one disagreed, but which now represents sclerosis, fatigue and frustration. But, that is back "home", not here in New York, surrounded by skyscrapers and tourists.
For the past decade or so, the establishment — susheel types, foreign murubbis, khaki, old and new money — in Bangladesh had a clear view about the two political parties: while they are both bad, Awami League can be at least tolerated, BNP on the other hand is pure evil. Read a typical piece by Zafar Sobhan or Sohrab Hossain to see what I mean.
When asked about what's the minimum BNP needs to do to become tolerable, the establishment types say 'dump the razakar/mollah/jongis'.

very pleased sally from Port Townsend, WA on 12/23/2012 – Verified Buyer
I am very pleased with the lamp and ordered two more- the bronze finish is matte, good design, the lamp fits well in my soft contemporary interior.
It does not feel cheap. A fairly small scale lamp.

Skerlj Restaurant: People Come From Miles Around
The farmhouse opens its dining room to more than just those spending the night. I met a woman there who drove 2hrs south from Bovec just to have dinner.
Favorite Dish: Just a few of the good dishes I tried:
Juta soup (with beans and onions)
Beef with Prsut baked in Teran red wine
Veal with bitter greens and gnocchi
Blancmange with apricott sauce
If you there in April or May, expect to have a lot of wonderful asparagus dishes as it's in season.
Skerlj Restaurant: Farmhouse with a surprise!
I was taken to the Skerlj Restaurant last month, and quite frankly was horrified! My grandson took me around the side of the main entrance, and with pride, presented me with what the owners are delighted to show the guests with children. There were about thrity wire hutches with large white rabbits, most of which couldn't turn around in their cages. Their litter was also about three inches deep and obvisouly hadn't been changed in months. So, I would not eat there, due to poor anilmal welfare and hygeine. May I add that the pigs or cattle which were stabled next to the rabbits I couldn't see, but smelled the stench. I do know about farm animals as I've come from a family who kept them in England.
I was persuaded by my son to sample their puddings, which they are famous for. It was quite pleasant, but absically suet rolly-polly. I have lived abroad for the past 7 years, and have come to the conclusion, that many tourists are swept up by the excitement of new things without looking further into it.
Favorite Dish: NONE

The City and County of Denver is only responsible for main public sewers. For information about your private tap/serviceline, we recommend you to hire a licensed plumbing company that provides such services.
Immediately phone 303-446-3400 and report the problem. A maintenance crew will be dispatched to your location as quickly as possible If the problem is found in the city sewer line, Wastewater personnel will service the line and correct the problem. If cleanup is necessary due to a problem in the city line, we will arrange to have it completed in an efficient manner. If the problem is found to be your private line rather than the city sewer line, we will inform you as soon as possible. It would then be your responsibility to contact a plumber to service your line and repair any damage which may have occurred.
Believe it or not, a dry drain can lead to this condition. Drain pipes are constructed to hold a small amount of water. This retained water creates a seal to keep odors from coming up into your house. This water seal can evaporate, thus allowing foul odors to come into your house. To remedy this situation, you should pour a little water down your drain each month.
Do NOT flush disposable diapers and baby wipes as they will clog your sewer line. In addition, never pour grease or gummy substances down garbage disposals, toilets, or floor drains. Flammable liquids, i.e. oil, gasoline, paint thinner, etc., should never be poured into your sewer line as they can cause a fire hazard or create a harmful coating on your sewer pipe. Never flush plastic tampon containers, pencils, pins, hypodermic needles, broken glass or other foreign objects that can lodge in your sanitary line and prevent consistent flow.
For more information visit the Stormwater Quality page.
The combination of moisture, warmth, and nutrients that exist in all sewer lines (private and city) provides an excellent environment for roots to grow. Roots from trees, plants, and shrubbery are first attracted to the exterior of the sewer line and will penetrate the smallest crack or pin hole. This growth can eventually clog sewer lines.
It is extremely unlikely that sewer water will get into your drinking water. Incoming drinking water lines are designed to be pressurized and are installed above outgoing sewer lines. With this design, any sewer leakage would run downward and away from the line providing you with drinking water.
If you have a question about your water service, call the Denver Water Department at 303-893-2444.
The Wastewater Management Division which is part of the Public Works department, builds, operates and maintains Denver's sanitary sewer system and storm drainage system. We maintain more than 1525 miles of sanitary sewers and 793 miles of storm drainage facilities.
One bill is for sanitary sewer charges. This is prepared monthly, and is combined with your water bill. Once a year you receive another bill for storm drainage. The storm drainage bill is sent to every owner of improved property within Denver.
Sanitary sewer charges are for the collection, treatment, and disposal of water going down your sinks, drains, and toilets. Storm drainage charges are for the collection and disposal of rain water and snow melt. The City's sanitary sewers and storm drainage facilities are two completely independent systems.
When land is undeveloped rain and melting snow will soak into the land or naturally flow to streams and rivers. When land is developed an impervious surface is created. An impervious surface is a man-made area that will not readily absorb water. Examples of impervious surfaces include paved areas, roof tops, streets and sidewalks. Developed land cannot absorb the water as easily, if at all, and many flow patterns are changed. In order to control the storm water, a storm drainage network has been built. These facilities must be operated, maintained, renewed and replaced in order to provide a safe flow of storm water.
To control storm waters and receive the benefits of that control, there is a cost. Since everyone in the City benefits, The Denver City Council passed an ordinance in 1981 which authorizes a storm drainage service charge to be collected from the owners of all improved parcels of land.
The annual charge to a property owner is based on the relative impact the property will have on the storm drainage system. For instance, a parking lot will have more storm runoff than a grassy area of the same size. The charge is based on the ratio of impervious surface area to total parcel area. An impervious surface is a man-made area that will not readily absorb rain water as it falls. Based upon that ratio, a rate is applied to the impervious area to calculate the annual charge. The higher the ratio, the greater the rate.
Your storm drainage charges are actually lower than many other cities, both locally and nationally. A 1998-99 survey shows that Denver's storm drainage rates are 35% lower than the national average.
The charges on your property tax statement are collected for the Urban Drainage Flood Control District. UDFCD is a regional agency. It is involved in the planning and funding of major storm drainage projects, many of which cross city and county boundaries.
The UDFCD charge is based on the assessed value of your property. By contrast, our storm drainage charge is based on the runoff contri-bution of each property. This is determined by impervious surface area. Our charges are not a duplication of funds collected on behalf of UDFCD.
To reduce costs and as a convenience to customers, a combination bill was developed. The sanitary sewer bill is based on the water consumption metered by the Denver Water Department. This information is included on your combined bill.
Each year, we establish a new winter consumption for every residential customer, based on the metered water consumption shown on the February bill. The winter consumption sets the sanitary sewer charges for the entire year, starting with the March bill. Even though your water use may increase during the summer, your sanitary sewer charges will remain constant until a new winter consumption is calculated.
The sanitary sewer charge for commercial property is based upon actual metered consumption in each billing period during the year.
Your sanitary sewer charges are actually lower than many other cities, both locally and nationally. A national 2009 survey shows that Denver's residential sanitary sewer rates are the 3rd lowest of 36 large U.S. cities surveyed.

Station Rise, YORK, YO1 6HT
Hard by the city's historic walls, the grand Edwardian edifice built as the headquarters of the North Eastern Railway has been stylishly repurposed as a luxury hotel, seamlessly blending palatial original features with 21st-century facilities, a swish spa down in the former vaults, and up-to-date dining in Hudsons, a smart, brasserie-style grill room. Straight-up steaks are sourced from a Yorkshire farm - a 10-oz rib-eye, for example, served with proper chips, Portobello mushrooms, confit tomato and Caf? de Paris butter - but the kitchen's imaginative modern repertoire appeals to a wider audience than the merely carnivorous. For starters, there's dressed Whitby crab, the rich brown meat leavened by sour apple jelly and sorrel sorbet, and sticking with a fishy theme, main-course stone bass with fennel, langoustines, herbs, buckwheat and bisque. Otherwise, pine-roasted wild venison with on-trend parsley root, choucroute, romanesco and juniper and orange jus might catch the eye, and to finish, more local flavour in the shape of Yorkshire ginger parkin dolled up with rhubarb, vanilla parfait and orange.

As a child, this was one of my favorite stories.
We all know the story, that how the town of Hamelin in Germany was infested with rats, and then when it got too out of hand, the townsfolk gathered outside the town hall to demand a solution from the mayor. The mayor decides to get rid of the rats but couldn't come up with anything efficient. At last he, the mayor, offers 1000 gold pieces to anyone who solves this problem.
And next day a stranger comes to Hamelin in colorful clothes, and a silver pipe. Walks towards the town hall, he tells the mayor that he will get rid of the rats for 1000 gold pieces. The mayor agrees. He starts playing his pipe, which goes out to all the rats, they start following the piper. He leads all the rats into a river outside the town, steps in while playing his pipe, and sees all rats going inside one by one, until all of them are gone.
Then he comes back to claim his reward amidst all the town folk cheering and celebrating. He asks the mayor for his reward and the mayor laughs at the piper and refuses by saying you just played your silly pipe and the rats ran into the river themselves, for this you will only get 50 pieces.
Ridiculed and mocked, the piper goes away. He comes back the next day, and plays another note on his pipe, this time his tune goes out to the children. They start following him outside the town until he reaches a mountain, he opens a door into the mountain and goes inside, the children still following him, until all of them disappear inside, and the door closes. But there was one crippled boy on crutches who couldn't keep up. When the towns folk reach the mountain in panic, he tells them there were clean rivers and beautiful sounds on the other side and all kinds of places of fun.
But they don't listen to him. Saddened by this loss, they decide never to give away promises they can't keep.
It was not until now that i realized the story was a little cruel and gritty. I kind of like it, as it strikes a good lesson. It's in the picture.

Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 94]
Summary: Nineteen years had passed since the battle at Hogwarts, and all had been well. Harryâs children had started attending Hogwarts. It is Albus Potterâs first year, and with it starts a new adventure: the Triwizard Tournament is about to start, and Albus finds himself more involved in it than he would have liked.

Killer Instincts by Ginny Weasley Potter
Rated: 3rd-5th Years [Reviews - 228]
Summary: London: Four murders have taken place under bizarre circumstances, for what seems to be an equally bizarre reason.
Harry, a happily wedded man with a wonderful wife and a cute daughter, is an Auror at the Ministry of Magic and is now given a new case to solve with Ron and four other Aurors. Incidentally, the four Aurors include Ginny, Harryâs âschoolboy crushâ; and it turns out to be much more than a crush when Harry sees her again. Whatâs more is that Harry is working upon a case that seems to connect to him directly. And once again, it opens up old fears: fears of losing loved ones.
Ron, on the other hand, seems to be tired of Hermione. Tempers are running high and fights are breaking out more often than usual. Are they really falling apart? Or can they sort this out before it is too late?
Then there is the case itself. Who is trustworthy, and who is not? Who is deadly enough to murder four people in cold blood?
Indulge into the gut-wrenching action, combined with warm romance and tingling suspense; while I tell you a story of love, ambition and obsession⦠a story of what those killer instincts can do. EDIT: MAJOR revamping going on, with regard to plot, characterisation, and general style of writing. I would urge you not to read this until I've removed this notice because I wasn't very good six years ago, and this is as bad as I was. *Places traffic cones*

Those are some really awesome star trails! I can't believe how dark the hills are! There must've been no light at all there aside from starlight. Great composition.
i've never seen it that dark before it was crazy.
I so wish I had been out there, maybe with a 40'' dob. The light pollution isn't to bad here, but there is a large amount of skyglow coming in from the southwest and you can only see a little bit into fifth magnitude at best. Still, with my 6'' scope I have been able to see some stunning views of the orion nebula and the double cluster, as well as others.
sweet shot man, exposure friggin rocks! i love the trees way up on top of the hill
this really rocks my socks.

Hoops: Michigan offers Josh Langford
Another highly rated class of 2016 standout has received a Michigan offer. Madison, Ala., Madison Academy's Joshua Langford (6-4, 185, Rivals.com's No. 21 junior nationally, is the eighth player to receive one, and it was no surprise.
Langford received his offer during a Friday visit. He was slated to visit Michigan State today and is also considering Duke, Louisville and others.
"Langford has been bugged by injuries for a while now and his lofty ranking was more a function of promise and production he showed early in his high school career," Rivals.com's Eric Bossi wrote after seeing Langford at adidas Gauntlet in Dallas this June. "Now, Langford can finally play at that level again and it is more of a case of him proving that his ranking is legitimate and not based on previous reputation.
"I love the balance in is game, the way he can attack from the wing and that he is a solid player. He will need to become more of a threat as a jump shooter, but Langford's all-around play in Dallas was impressive - the 6-foot-4 guard has tremendous explosion, a solid build and a well-rounded floor game. He looked confident and the production followed."
Langford averaged 22 points and eight rebounds per game to earn Gatorade Player of the Year for Alabama as a freshman, and he raised his totals to 24 points, seven rebounds and four assists last year. He has the ability to dribble like a point guard and can excel from the one through the three, continuing to improve his jump shot.
The junior to be is now 6-6, 200 according to his father, and being recruited by schools coast to coast. Alabama offered him before he was in high school while Michigan and Michigan State have been on him for a while, as well. Florida, Indiana, Kentucky, UCLA, Providence, Oklahoma State and Auburn are among the others seriously involved, and the list is growing.
Michigan saw him play in Dallas.
"He and Coach [John] Beilein talk all the time," Mr. Langford said. "He really likes Michigan. They are the aristocracy of educational institutions and also have a good basketball program, have had good success developing pros, so why not get a great education while pursuing his lifelong dream [of the NBA?]"
Watch for more on this developing story in the days to come.

For four years in-house counsel in the European Union eagerly awaited what they hoped would be a groundbreaking ruling in Akzo Nobel. On Sept. 17 their hopes were dashed.
The case began in 2003 when officials investigating antitrust allegations conducted a dawn raid to retrieve key documents from two chemical companies. One of the documents they found was a memo from a general manager at one of the companies. The memo contained information the manager had collected from employees in order to obtain outside legal advice on its compliance programs. Officials also retrieved correspondence between the manager and the company's in-house counsel regarding the memo.
It was this perception of in-house counsel, one that legal organizations throughout Europe felt was antiquated, that led to the fervent rally to use Akzo as the catalyst to change the status quo.
Fight for Change
When it came time to make their argument before the Court of First Instance, Europe's leading legal associations argued that in-house counsel have gained more responsibility, not just as internal legal advisers, but also as internal auditors charged with ensuring compliance.

How I wish these were real
Muito bom... Parabéns !!!
Send these designs to nike right now!! cuz their idea of capcom x nike is slightly wackkk, but you're is awesommmme lol
nicely done , if you do Guy's, it'll be the best
I'd buy those Ryu kicks. What would be funny is if you did Balrog and dudley boxing gloves , cause they ain't got no kicks
