Spice up your diamond jewellery collection
Posted by Shreve & Co. at 7:40:00 AM in Furrer Jacot (30)
Sometimes a luxury diamond ring can become redundant especially if you're the type that buys these high-end items regularly. Furrer Jacot understands this predicament, so it releases a full line of diamond jewelry called Highlights, an impressive collection of interestingly styled white and red gold rings. The Magiques, in fact, is delicately crafted with embossed crisscrossing pattern and accented with brilliant cut diamonds. Another Magiques style shows off an even more detailed array of opulent sculpting around the ring with 126 brilliant cut diamonds to boot. Likewise, the Sculptures style combines bare white gold side lanes that parallel a middle red gold centrepiece and features 20 brilliant cut diamonds. Or yet another Sculptures design mimics a king's crown, combining white and red gold and 70 brilliant cut diamonds. Surely, these new styles will spice up any one's diamond jewelry collection.
Furrer Jacot is available at Shreve & Co. on Post Street, San Francisco.

I just woke up, and I was out in the scrub, in Australia, without two pennies to rub together. That was until I got sectioned for alcohol abuse, and benefit fraud. Now I'm half blind, and cant seem to make sense of anything, especially on The Arsenal board. Its all a bit of a blur, living out in the bush....Like my life I suppose.
Much Love from Denpasar. Well the back yard and a few, tinnies, underneath a banana tree.

Tycoon calls off £78m deal to turn lesbian daughter straight
But Hong Kong billionaire Cecil Chao still refuses to welcome his daughter's partner into the family
THE Hong Kong billionaire who offered £78m to any man who could seduce and marry his lesbian daughter has called off the deal – but still refuses to accept her girlfriend.
Cecil Chao, a 77-year-old property tycoon, told CNN that he was retracting the offer to find his daughter Gigi a husband.
"Her private life is hers," he said, but added that he would never accept her partner of nine years, Sean Eav.
"If this is the way she wants to be, for the time being it's all over," he said. Asked what he meant by "for the time being", Chao explained: "Because she is only 33. Life changes. I mean I changed a lot [from] when I was 33 to now."
He insisted he was not trying to use money to buy her happiness. "She has to choose her own happiness," he said, "but I can use my money to let her have choice – whatever she chooses to be the best for her."
When asked if he welcomed her partner into the family, Chao replied: "No."
Chao said he sees his daughter every day but she never told him in person that she was a lesbian and that he found out in a newspaper.
His decision to call off the deal comes after Gigi published an open letter to her father, widely circulated among Hong Kong media, which urged him to accept her partner.
She told her father that she has had relationships with men before but they were "always short-lived", as she "lost patience" and "felt an indescribable discomfort" in their presence.
"As your daughter, I would want nothing more than to make you happy," she wrote. "But in terms of relationships, your expectations of me and the reality of who I am are not coherent."
Chao's payment – originally set at £40m – horrified gay and lesbian organisations in Asia, but he upped the bounty earlier this month, insisting his daughter's "thinking will change in the future".
Disqus - noscript
Well, she doesn't looks as lesbian. I think that whole affair is some sort of publicity stunt.
And what exactly does a lesbian look like? He is sad, but you who should know better is sadder.
Well, this kind of women often have specific appearance... short hair, men's clothing, no makeup and so on.
Well, this kind of women often have very specific appearance... short hair, men's clothing, no makeup and so on. She definitely not a lesbian.

Miracle Fruits (sometimes called Miracle Berries) have been a secret wonder of the world for centuries. Though they were first documented by a French dude in 1725, they'd been consumed for many generations prior. They were eaten before meals to make the meals taste better. "How?" you ask. By making sour and bitter foods taste sweet. "But how?" you scream. The truth is, science doesn't completely know (it has something to do with the protein miraculin that bonds to your taste buds). Science Update! Scientists are getting closer to knowing exactly what miraculin does. It bonds to your sweet receptors and does wicked cool things. Click here for the science! Now you know we wouldn't sell you something without trying it first. So, we did. Limes suddenly tasted like the sweetest, most perfect limeade ever. Oranges (already quite sweet) tasted like they were imported from an Alien world or plucked straight from the Garden of Eden (truly, words can't describe the life-altering sensations caused by these little tablets). Snozzberries in our wallpaper tasted like. ok, they were just boogers (tip to self: don't lick wallpaper). But seriously, these little things are incredible. You can join the new craze of hosting "flavor tripping" parties. Everyone gets a dose of Miracle Berry, and then you taste things. You can even help your diet with Miracle Berry Fruit Tablets - healthy yucky foods will taste like candy and you won't crave sugar-laden (i.e. fattening) candy anymore. See. it's a miracle! Please note: Highly acidic foods (like pure lemon juice) will taste wonderful, but will still harm your mouth if you drink too much. Miracle Berry Fruit Tablets Dissolve half a tablet on your tongue and sour and bitter foods will taste sweet. Flavor-bending effects can last up to 1 hour. No harmful side effects (other than wanting more). Each tablet is 3/8" in diameter and is two servings (10 tablets/20 servings per box). Take 1/2 a tablet - or take a whole one for a more intense experience. Ingredients: Miracle Berry powder and corn starch - nothing else!. Price: $24.99

Borobudur is a Buddhist stupa in the Mahayana tradition and is the largest Buddhist monument in the world. This well known Bhudhist temple is located on the Indonesian island of Java, 40 km (25mi) northwest of Yogyakarta. In Indonesian, ancient temples are known as candi; thus "Borobudur Temple" is locally known as Candi Borobudur. The term candi is also used more loosely to describe any ancient structure, for example gates and bathing structures.
For Indonesian people Borobudur is the most prominent pilgrimage in the country and most visited tourist attraction. During the month of June, Buddhists in Indonesia celebrate Vesak Day or 'the day of Buddha's birth, his enlightenment and his reaching of nirvana'at Borobudur temple.
In the history it was not clear who built this giant Buddhist temple and what was its purpose. The only thing that history tells is its construction time which has been little easily estimated by comparison between carved reliefs on the temple's hidden foot and the inscriptions commonly used in royal charters during the eight and ninth centuries. This corresponds to the peak of the Sailendra dynasty in central Java (760–830 AD), when it was under the influence of the Srivijayan Empire. The construction has been estimated to have taken 75 years and been completed during the reign of Samaratungga in 825.
For centuries, Borobodur lay hidden under layers of volcanic ash. The reasons behind the desertion of this magnificent monument still remain a mystery. Some scholars believe that famine caused by an eruption of Mount Merapi forced the inhabitants of Central Java to leave their lands behind in search of a new place to live. When people once again inhabited this area, the glory of Borobudur was buried by ash from Mount Merapi.
Borobudur was rediscovered in 1814 by Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles who was Governor General of the United Kingdom in Java. The name Borobudur was given to this temple by him. who, during his visit in Semarang, received a report indicating the discovery of a hill full of many carved stones. The hill was believed by the local inhabitants to be the site of an ancient monument called budur. Raffles then commissioned a team led by Cornelius to investigate the hill.
Cornelius, a Dutch engineer, assisted by about 200 men cut down trees and remove shrubs that covered the giant building. Because the building is already fragile and could collapse, then report to the Raffles Cornelius invention includes several images. Since the discovery, Raffles was awarded as the man who started restoration of Borobudur temple and got the attention of the world. In 1835, the entire area of the temple has been unearthed.
Some efforts were made to restore and preserve the colossal monument since then. Unfortunately, in 1896 the Dutch colonial government gave away eight containers of Borobudur stones, including reliefs, statues, stairs and gates, as presents for the King of Siam who was visiting Indonesia.
The Indonesian government and UNESCO then undertook the complete overhaul of the monument in a big restoration project between 1975 and 1982. The foundation was stabilized and all 1,460 panels were cleaned. The restoration involved the dismantling of the five square platforms and improved the drainage by embedding water channels into the monument. Both impermeable and filter layers were added. This colossal project involved around 600 people to restore the monument and cost a total of US$ 6,901,243. After the renovation was finished, UNESCO listed Borobudur as a World Heritage Site in 1991.
The Borobudur Temple was built in three panels. The first panel is the pyramidal base consisting of five platforms that are square. The second panel is the trunk of the cone consisting of three platforms that are circular. The third panel is a monumental stupa located at the top that serves as the main dome.
The walls and balustrades of the Borobudur Temple are adorned with fine low reliefs. The temple has a total surface area of approximately 2,500 square meters. There are 72 openwork stupas that encircle around the circular platform of the temple. Each stupa has a statue of Buddha in it. The whole structure is built on a hill and is made of 55,000 square meters of lava rock. Analyzing the shape of the entire structure, it is the shape of a lotus flower, the sacred flower of the Buddhists.
The foundation of the structure is in the shape of a square and the length of each side is about 387 feet or 118 meters. The base of the Borobudur Temple has area of 403.5 square feet or 123 square meters and the height of the walls is 13 feet or four meters. The five square platforms of the temple have heights that diminish as you go from one platform to the next level. The terrace of the first platform is settled back 23 feet or seven meters from the base's edge. The terraces of the rest of the platforms are settled back seven feet or two meters, thus giving some small corridor at each platform.
The highest point of the Borobudur Temple is the single main dome at the center of the structure. It has a height of 115 feet or 35 meters from the ground level. The upper portion of the temple can be accessed through some stairways. The stairways are found at the center of the four sides of the temple where the arched gates are located. These gates are watched over by lion statues of about 32 in number.
The arched gates of the Borobudur Temple are decorated with the head of Kala being carved at the top center part of each portal. There are also Makaras projected at each sides of the arched gates. The main entrance of the temple is located at the eastern side of the structure where the first of the narrative reliefs are situated. The entire structure is being linked to the low-lying plain beneath by stairways on the hill slopes.
Viewed from above, Borobudur takes the form of a giant mandala, symbolically depicting the path of the Bodhisattva from samsara to nirvana, through the story of Sudhana described in the Gandavyuha Sutra, a part of the Avatamsaka Sutra. In total, this massive monument contains over 2 million stone blocks.
Some scholars think that this massive monument is a gigantic textbook of Buddhism to help people to achieve enlightenment. To read this Buddhist textbook in stone requires a walk of more than two miles. The walls of the galleries are adorned with impressive reliefs illustrating the life of Buddha Shakyamuni and the principles of his teaching.
Representing the existence of the universe, Borobudur perfectly reflects the Buddhist cosmology, which divides the universe into three intermingled separate levels. The three levels are Kamadhatu (world of desire), Ruphadatu (world of forms), and Arupadhatu (world of formlessness).
The hidden base of Borobudur was originally the first level, which contains the gallery of Kamadhatu level. It is thought that during construction Borobudur experienced a landfall that threatened the entire building. To prevent the whole monument from collapsing, the Kamadhatu level was closed and made into a new base that holds Borobudur steady.
This level of Kamadhatu pictures the world of passion and the inevitable laws of karma. The first 117 panels show various actions leading to one and the same result, while the other remaining 43 panels demonstrate the many results that follow one single effect. At least 160 relief panels were carved around this level, based on the manuscript of Karmavibhangga. What is left of these can be seen in the Southeast corner of this level.
The reliefs of the Rupadhatu level show the stories based on the manuscripts of Lalitavistara, Jataka-Avadana and Gandavyuha. The Lalitavistara reliefs, consisting of 120 panels, tell us about the life of Siddhartha Gautama Buddha. It starts with the glorious descent of Buddha from the Tushita heaven. Born as Prince Siddhartha, Buddha's childhood was isolated from the outside world's misery. Accidentally witnessing the misery of sickness, decrepitude and death, young Prince Siddharta decided to escape from the worldly life and commencing his search of freedom from suffering. Siddhartha's long and painful search finally led him to the highest level of enlightenment and made him Buddha, the Enlightened One. This story ends with Buddha's sermon in the Deer Park near Benares.
The Jataka is a collection of stories about Buddha's previous reincarnation, chains and virtues. According to the Jataka, Buddha was born 504 times before being born as Prince Siddharta, taking on the forms of god, kings, princes, learned men, thieves, slaves, and a gambler. Many times he was born in the forms of animals such as lion, deer, monkey, swan, big turtle, quail, horse, bird and many others. But the Boddhisatva (Buddha-to-be) was distinguished from all other kings, slaves, or animals among whom he lived. The Boddhisatva is always superior and wiser than those around him.
As to the relief of Avadana, the main figure is not the Buddha himself. All the saintly deeds pictured in this part are attributed to other legendary characters. The stories are compiled in Dvijavadana (Glorious Heavenly Acts) and the Avadana Sataka (The Hundred Avadana). The first 20 frames in the lower series of stories on the first gallery depict the Sudhanakumaravana.
The series of reliefs covering the wall of the second gallery is dedicated to Sudhana's tireless wandering during his search for the highest wisdom. The story is continued on the walls and balustrades of the third and fourth galleries. Most of the 460 panels depict the scenes based on the Mahayana text Gandavyuha, while the concluding scenes are derived from the text of Badracari.
On the last three circular uppermost terraces, 72 stupas circle the huge main stupa that crowns the top of the temple. The circular form represents the eternity without beginning and without end, a superlative, tranquil, and pure state of the formless world. There are no reliefs on the three circular terraces.
All but the largest central stupas on the upper levels contain a (more or less) life-sized statue of the Buddha kneeling, although many of these statues are missing or damaged. There are also many alcoves along the lower levels which contain similar statues but many of these are missing or damaged as well.

NEW DELHI: A bunch of 20-somethings are raring to swap the security of blue-chip firms for the grave hazards lurking beyond the invisible yet palpable thick red line that marks out Maoist-affected areas across the country.
Armed with little more than developmental zeal, these professionals are readying to venture into some of the most dangerous areas in central and eastern India. This is where, for instance, a state government recently agreed to free 27 prisoners to secure the release of an abducted MLA and a foreign national.

Check the permissions on your home folder. Could not start kstartupconfig is
usually a permissions problem. If something filewise got really borked, you
can restore a backup by using a Mandriva live-cd. Go to mcc and then
backups, just be sure to tell it exactly where your backup files are located
and what drive they are to restore.
Good Luck,

Lakeland City Commission Votes to Keep Tax Rate Steady
Published: Tuesday, September 3, 2013 at 10:59 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, September 3, 2013 at 10:59 p.m.
LAKELAND | City commissioners voted 7-0 on Tuesday to keep the property tax rate at 4.66 per $1,000 of taxable property value.
In other action Monday, Lakeland city commissioners:
- Voted 6-0 to approve $600,000 from the Mid-Town Community Redevelopment Agency toward the $4.6 million in renovations for the new tax collector's office and Lakeland Service Center at 916 N. Massachusetts Ave. The project should be completed by November.
- Voted 7-0 to approve $834,000 in renovations to the Simpson Park Pool. The pool has been losing water and will receive a new laminated steel shell.
- Heard in a first reading about plans to extend a 75-foot cellphone tower to 160 feet at 4141 Lakeland Hills Blvd.
- Recognized International Day of Peace.
Voted 7-0 to enter into an $84,000 agreement with Reporting House to improve accuracy of annual budgets and long-term peak energy forecasts for Lakeland Electric.
- Heard about plans for a conditional use to allow new single-family homes at 310 E. Park St. and 1003 Pennsylvania Ave.
The $102 million budget, a decrease of $400,000 from last year, includes 1.5 percent across-the-board raises for the 2,127 employees and 2.5 percent merit raises.
"We are doing pretty good with the revenues we've been given," Commissioner Don Selvage said.
But City Manager Doug Thomas cautioned that by 2016 the city's reserves are expected to take a big hit.
"By 2016, we will have a $6 million gap," Thomas said. "The economy will have to take off."
The overall $537 million budget reflects spending and revenue at Lakeland Electric.
A final vote on the budget will be at 6 p.m. Sept. 16.
The budget features:
$100,000 for aviation business and development plans for Lakeland Linder Regional Airport.
$30,000 for a training center master plan at Lakeland Fire Department.
$50,000 for development of a citywide
neighborhood stabilization program.
$875,000 for renovation of the old federal building at Tennessee Avenue and Lemon Street.
Funds to pay the salaries of three new police officers.
A $625,000 federal grant — The Community Oriented Policing Services grant — might help subsidize the cost of the salaries for three years if the city receives the grant. In the fourth year, the city would be required to fund all three officers' salaries.
The issue of a water rate increases also came up. The city plans to implement a 5 percent water increase and 5½ percent wastewater rate increase in October.
Commissioner Howard Wiggs said he met with water officials recently about why they need the increase and he was satisfied with their explanation. Wiggs said utility officials will be forced to dip into reserves if the increase doesn't occur.

ATC Kayak Cart
Shopping Info
|Paddleboy ATC (All-Terrain Center) Kayak Cart - With its large bike tire-style wheels, the Paddleboy ATC kayak cart from Seattle Sports is great for going over rutted paths that cause difficulty for smaller wheeled carts, and it's faster over paved, flat surfaces. For many users, the large wheels will also offer a more natural height for pulling or pushing their boat. The ATC cart is perfect for heavily loaded canoe portages, john-boats and other larger craft, including dinghies and Lasers. The heavy-duty powder-coated steel frame breaks down nicely for low-profile storage. A spring-loaded, super stable kickstand, adjustable top pad bars, and included cinch straps complete this super heavy-duty cart. The Seattle Sports Paddleboy ATC (All-Terrain Center) kayak cart easily transports all kinds of boats and boards!
The older I get the less I enjoy carrying a fully loaded kayak on my shoulder. Ok, who really does enjoy that?! Anyway, I got an ATC carrier because it can hold up to 300 pounds. I also got the added bonus of bike tires so pulling a fully loaded kayak can be down with two fingers. Yes, it rolls that easily! My only complaint is the straps that comes with this cart. I added an extra strap for when I'm carting my loaded down kayak up a hill.

Great cart. Purchased this cart for a week long trip kayaking. Rolls fantastic. Found a way to tie it down to the guidelines on the stern. Centered properly you can still carve without noticing the weight. Straps need rubber housings.
Ottawa, Ont.
Being almost 60 years old was looking for a good set of wheels to haul a 17'canoe. Purchased the ATC and could not be happier with the unit. The large wheels and kickstand are huge plus. Purchased a dumb stick to attach to my bike which then attaches to the canoe on the ATC. Have trailered the canoe over a mile down an off road path behind the bicycle. Also works great to just pull by hand

Einstürzende Neubauten logo
The Einstürzende Neubauten logo can be described as a human symbol with two arms, two legs (one much shorter than another), thin body and big round head with a circle in its middle. It was not created by or for the band, but is a cave drawing of probably Toltec origin.
Origin and meaning[edit]
According to the band leader Blixa Bargeld, it is an ancient Toltec petroglyph, whose meaning is undefined. So, it was taken as a band logo without any special meaning, but to be "filled" with it later.[1] This sign was discovered in a cave in central Mexico and was created between nearly 700 and 1200 A.D. Blixa Bargeld probably found it in 1980 during a search for mythological icons.[2] Some point out the similarity between this symbol and the big eyeball mask used on the stage by members of the avant-garde group the Residents.
There are several possible interpretations of its meaning, but all of them are just hypothetical. The circle in the middle of the head could be a sun or a (cyclopean) eye. The whole symbol could be a sun-faced man, man with a sun in his head or a sun and a human being (see solar symbolism).[2]
According to other sources, the logo is not of Toltec but of Olmec origin and was found in a cave in Chilpancingo.[3][4] Though it is an ancient Native American symbol, nowadays it is strongly associated with Einstürzende Neubauten.
The logo is placed on almost all of the band's products, such as vinyl/CD/DVD covers, posters, artwork, and memorabilia. The logo is copyrighted by the band,[1] but nevertheless it was used in design of the products which are not related to Einstürzende Neubauten. Blixa Bargeld claims to have seen it on a shampoo in France.[1] A very similar symbol is currently being used by Armani for the RED product series. According to the Armani web site, their artwork is created by an African contemporary artist Owusu-Ankomah, who mixes various cultural influences, including early cave drawings.[5] The band Liars parodied it on the cover of their single "There's Always Room On The Broom". For the cover of their 1992 album "Toi! jeune", the band Paneuropean Architecture also parodied the logo as a clown face. [6]
Some of the band's fans have a tattoo with the logo, probably the most prominent of them are Henry Rollins, Ministry's Al Jourgensen, and Maniac, formerly of the black metal band Mayhem. Once Einstürzende Neubauten asked fans to send photos of their tattoos to use in artwork for the upcoming album. The images were printed in the fold-out that came with Strategies Against Architecture III. Also, a collage of the photos appeared in 2000 on a tour poster for the "Silence is Sexy"/"20th anniversary" Tour.
Writer, producer, and spoken word performer Tommy Cody has the logo tattooed on his outer left forearm.
Writer, producer, and musician Chris DeMarcus from the band Stiff Valentine has the image tattooed on his right forearm.
Although hardly visible in the finished film, the little vampire girl in the film 30 Days of Night (film) has the Neubauten man tattooed on her arm.
The logo can be seen in the manga Eden: It's an Endless World! by Hiroki Endo (man in the background has it tattooed on his arm).[7]
The logo can also be seen painted on a ruin in the episode 11 of anime series Monster (story by Naoki Urasawa) which takes place in Germany.
The logo is also featured as a tattoo in Grant Morrison's comic The Filth.
In the French film Persepolis, the protagonist, Marjane Satrapi goes to Vienna and befriends a punk rock group, in their apartment the logo can briefly be seen on a poster.
A line in American rockabilly band Heavy Trash's song, "The Pill" (off the album Heavy Soul Serenade, 2009), mentions that "Betty had... a tattoo of the Neubauten logo on her right shoulder..." (although this is commonly mis-transcribed on unofficial lyrics websites).
Gareth Liddiard, lead singer/guitarist of Australian band The Drones has the logo tattooed on his inner left forearm.

The Thing: The Thing Escapes From The
- Fecha al aire:
- Antarctica: an extraordinary continent of awesome beauty. It is also home to an isolated outpost where a discovery full of scientific possibility becomes a mission of survival when a creature is unearthed by a crew of international scientists. In the thriller The Thing, paranoia spreads among a group of researchers as they encounter something inhuman that has the ability to turn itself into an exact replica of any living being. Paleontologist Kate Lloyd (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) has traveled to the desolate region for the expedition of her lifetime. Joining a Norwegian scientific team that has stumbled across a creature buried in the ice, she discovers an organism that seems to have died in the ice eons ago. But it is about to wake up. When a simple experiment frees the thing from its frozen prison, Kate must join the crew's pilot, Carter (Joel Edgerton), to keep it from killing them off one at a time. And in this vast, intense land, a parasite that can mimic anything it touches will pit human against human as it tries to survive and flourish. The Thing serves as a prelude to John Carpenter's classic 1982 film of the same name. Directed by Matthijs van Heijningen, the thriller is produced by Strike Entertainment's Marc Abraham and Eric Newman (Dawn of the Dead).

Strange Meeting
by Wilfred Owen
Analysis: Sound Check
If there's a poetry equivalent to the soundtrack of the descent into hell, this is it. Oh wait, maybe Dante's Inferno already cornered the market on that one, but "Strange Meeting" isn't too shabby in the tension-building, dread-inducing sound effects department either.
In the "Form and Meter" section, we discussed how the slant rhymed couplets and iambic pentameter created a smooth and regular rhythm to the poem. We like to think of it as a particularly dreadful and slow march into hell.
As each couplet unfolds, we find out more news about where we are and what's going on—and none of it is good. The regularity of the iambic pentameter keeps us chugging along, and the not-so-perfect rhymes urge us to the next line, and we go willingly, even though we should probably know better. It's kind of like the creepy music in a horror movie: we know the protagonist totally should not open that door, but we also can't wait to see what's behind it.
But wait, there's more. The repetition of certain words and alliteration (words beginning with the same sound that are placed near each other) make for a sort of echo effect—like you could have sworn you heard this before but you can't quite place it. The sounds overlap and even meld together, like the voice in a dream, making it hard to distinguish one sonic element from another.
It can get intoxicating, and a little disorienting. Look at how Owen ssssslides us into the poem with all of those S sounds in the first eight lines: seemed, escaped, some, since scooped, sleepers, bestirred, sprang, stared, distressful, and bless. Be careful you don't slip.
The repetition has a similar effect. While the rhyme and meter seem to coax you forward, the repetition is very gently tripping you up—not quite enough so you fall over—but just enough so your ear does a sort of double take. Owen, being the baller that he is, ups the level of difficulty by often modifying the words he repeats ever so slightly.
See how he follows "hope" with "hopelessness," "wild" with "wildest," and "pity of war" with "the pity war distilled." These modifications alter the meaning and the sound, while still remaining familiar. They overlap and twist in our ears, like the tortured groaning of the sleepers.

TVS Motor Company was unable to capitalise on higher sales growth as rising costs affected its bottom-line. Motorcycle sales during the June'06 quarter grew 32% to 2.33 lakh units, higher than the industry growth of 24%. Its market share as a result moved up just 80bps to 13%, thanks to aggressive growth from Bajaj and Hero Honda staunchly defending its position.
Sales were driven mainly by the sales of TVS Starcity and Apache. The latter was launched in late '05, and the full year impact will be felt in '07. TVS Apache is the No. 2 brand after Bajaj's Pulsar in the 125-150cc motorbike category.

PORTSMOUTH — It took until the afternoon of the last day of the filing period, but there will be a contested race for School Board this year.
The city clerk's office confirmed that three residents registered to run for School Board on Monday. Jeffrey Landry of 72 Nathaniel St., Gary Epler of 272 Bungalow Road, and John Wyman of 108 Buckminster Way became the fifth, sixth and seventh candidates to register for a race that features five open seats.
Landry previously ran for School Board in 2009 and Wyman ran in 2011, but neither were elected.
The three men join a list of candidates that includes School Board incumbents Leslie Stevens and Tom Martin, as well as current City Councilor Nancy Novelline Clayburgh and newcomer Helene "Lennie" Mullaney.
Current School Board members Kent LaPage, Mitch Shuldman and Carol Chellman did not file for re-election.

"I don't know if there's enough firepower there (for USD) to hang with Connecticut," said Gminski, the former Duke All-American and NBA player (1980-94) who will work today's CBS telecast with Tim Brando.
But to be fair, Gminski also recalled how two years ago he was in attendance when UConn played George Mason in a regional final and he "would have put virtually every nickel I had on UConn."
"There's probably not that big of a gap between that George Mason team and this San Diego team," Gminski said from his home in Charlotte, N.C.
Gminski said he was impressed by USD's back-to-back victories last week over Saint Mary's and Gonzaga, although he noted the obvious advantage the Toreros received playing at home.
Playing today on a neutral court in Tampa, the Toreros won't have that kind of edge, although as underdogs they could get a boost from the crowd if they play well enough to keep things interesting. Their larger problem, Gminski said, will be UConn's size and strength, particularly 7-foot-3 center Hasheem Thabet, who blocked more shots (143) by himself than USD did as a team (107). The Huskies' two starting forwards, 6-9 Stanley Robinson and 6-6 Jeff Adrien, combined for 83 more blocks.
"Not to be trite, but it's a little David and Goliath," Gminski said. "(UConn's Jim) Calhoun traditionally coaches size. His teams have led the nation in blocks for the last 100 years."
Actually, this is the seventh straight season UConn led the nation in blocked shots. The Huskies averaged 8.8 a game, one reason their opponents shot just 38.4 percent from the field.
Gminski said Gyno Pomare, at 6-8 the tallest player in USD's three-guard starting lineup, is "a nice player who does a great job. But he looks like a wide body (240 pounds) who plays low to the ground. It may be a challenge for him to get his shot off inside."
With that in mind, Gminski said he would expect USD to try to force UConn's big players to defend on the perimeter with pick-and-roll plays. "But you've got to have front-line players who can get out and knock down shots, and I don't know if that's Rob Jones' forte," he said. "But if they can spread the floor and open up the lane, that would help."
USD also needs to control the pace, Gminski said, and Brandon Johnson will have to play well in his matchup with UConn's A.J. Price. And it would help if UConn picked today to shoot poorly, which has happened at times this season.
In the end, though, Gminski said, "I think UConn just has too much depth. But, hey, that's why you tee it up and play."
The Padres agreed to move radio coverage of their exhibition game today to 1700-AM, allowing XX Sports Radio to carry the USD game. John Kentera, who worked only home games during the regular season, will join Andy Masur in Tampa. I guess the Toreros figured they needed all the coaching they could get.
Our town isn't exactly basketball heaven, and without a team in the NCAA Tournament, last year's CBS selection show tied for the lowest rating among the country's major markets (1.6). But, with USD making this year's field, the show's rating was up 156 percent, the largest increase in the country. The 4.1 rating tied for 27th nationally, just below the 4.4 average. No. 1 was Louisville at 18.1.
USD's women's game tomorrow against Cal will be shown on ESPN2 starting between 1:15 and 1:30 p.m. Dave Pasch and Deb Antonelli will be the announcers. ESPN2's women's coverage starts at 9 a.m. If the Toreros win, their second-round game would air Monday night on ESPN2, likely at 5 or 7:30.
HBO will show a replay of last week's fight between Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez at 10:05 tomorrow night. The pay-cable network also has started production on its first golf documentary, recounting the 1960 U.S. Open, which ended with Arnold Palmer beating a young Jack Nicklaus and an aging Ben Hogan. The show will premiere Wednesday, June 11, the night before this year's tournament begins at Torrey Pines.
We all make mistakes, but KFMB's sports department was really on a roll Monday evening. In a span of about a minute the station a) didn't identify two USD women's players who were interviewed; b) misspelled Lorrenzo Wade's name in a graphic, and c) used Florida State's logo when talking about how SDSU was going to play Florida. Maybe it was karmic payback for airing cartoons instead of entire college basketball games on Saturday mornings.

Euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide (E/PAS) issues have recently concentrated the attention of medical research, with the majority of studies documenting general agreement for legislation permitting these practices for patients with incurable terminal illnesses.1- 3 This area has received less attention in Italy, where the law prosecutes those who practice E/PAS and the Italian Code of Medical Practice is openly against E/PAS, stating that "the physician, even if requested by the patient, should not use tools aimed at reducing the patients' psychic and physical integrity, hastening his/her death or causing his/her death."4 However, recent research has shown that among palliative care physicians,5 general practitioners, and hospital physicians6,7 one third are in favor of E/PAS.
