Pritam files legal case against Turkish songwriter
A few days ago, Azam had filed a case against Pritam alleging that he has plagiarised his lyrics for the popular song 'Character Dheela Hai' from Salman Khan's Ready. But on Wednesday, the Bombay High Court dismissed Azam"s petition, stating that Pritam was not the lyricist.
When later Pritam received threatening messages, he was compelled to take legal actions. Reportedly the frequent threatening messages had become a mental torture for the star composer. Azam however, claims that he had registered the song with the Writers Association in July 2007. He filed a plagiarism case against Pritam in a Mumbai Court, but lost in May 23, 2011. He then appealed in the Bombay High Court and was again dismissed by Justice AR Joshi who found no merit in the case. Pritam"s lawyer Henal Dhruva Vakharia confirmed the news saying that the composer had to take a legal action this time.

Help!! My relatives and friends are not Vegan!
Very few people are surrounded by mostly vegan family and friends, and sometimes difficulties can arise. Here are some tips to help you:
• Try to explain to your relatives why you are vegan and why you want your children to grow up vegan as well.
• Explain what vegan means and which products are excluded. Also, which products are included in your diet.
• Don't be afraid to be assertive about your beliefs especially regarding your children.
• Try to not be condescending as people tend to become defensive or shut out the message completely.
• Show them easy foods to prepare if you come to visit.
• Invite them to your place and cook a delicious vegan meal so they know it's not only salad that we eat!
• Show them all the yummy alternatives (chocolate!) they can buy as presents for special occasions like Easter, Christmas, etc.
• Organise Christmas or birthday dinners so you can cook vegan or choose a vegan friendly restaurant.
• If your relatives and friends for whatever reason can't cater for you and your family ask what they are planning to prepare so you can bring a vegan alternative to special occasions. For example if they're having cupcakes with pink icing, make your own cupcakes with pink icing, that way your child will not feel left out.
• Light banter in social situations is normal (for everyone). Try not to take every 'dig' to heart, sometimes the comment really is meant light heartedly, and reacting negatively may cause arguments or rifts in families or friendships. However, if it is an ongoing problem or a comment really is an attack then you should not be afraid to ask this person to stop making the comments, especially in front of your child.
• Unfortunately sometimes there may be people around you who do not accept your vegan lifestyle at all, and try to challenge you or catch you out every time they see you. You are not alone; feel free to ask other vegan families how they manage certain situations and you may find a solution!

Boca Raton scammers have used various company and website names over some yearsto enact this scam. As an Australian company with a story to tell about out breakthrough in bike-seat and bicycle design, (www.laterelle.com) the scammers approached us, promsiing widespresd public TV exxposure of our story.
We paid the up-front fee they asked for to produce a video, which they were to use to secure extensive public televison coverage. We were influenced to do so by the presence celebrities on the website, including Greg Norman, Donald Trump, George Bush Snr., Gary Sinise and many others.
When the TV exposure didn't eventuate and we completed more research to discover their scamming activities, we took steps to recover our money. Despite the unlikeliness of this happening, we actually got them to repay us. Now we are taking action to have these scammers and martin Sheen stopped.

left front brake locking up?
About a week ago, my jeep started to pull hard to the left. like if it needs an alignment, but it doesnt. U can smell brake really strong and starts to smoke a little on the front left brake. But this only happens when i drive my jeep for a while, then it starts to pull to left harder and harder, to the point where i can let go of the wheel and my car will be in the next lane in about 30 feet. Pulls hard! I heard this can happen when mudd gets into ur callipars of something like this. I need help fast because i can drive like this anymore and i dont wanna buy parts that i dont need. thanks. And by the way, when it pulls to the left, i am just cruising with out the brake. thanks again
Been in any mud lately? Happens to me all the time after riding in the muck. I have to pull the front wheels off to dig the stuff out of the brake assembly.
Mud will do it agreed. Also watch that hub bearing on that side. As the bearing gets worse it will push on the caliper harder..and start heating up more. Ide check your bearing too.
I used to have similar problem on my first car. It turned out the lower bolt that holds the brake caliper froze so the break pads would wear out only on one side and make the surface area bigger and eventually it just started pulling towards that brake. Check the movement on your brake calipers to make sure you dont have that problem.
will do thanks. but it hasnt done it since a few days ago right after i got stuck for the whole day. but ill still pull the wheel and check it out
lol do you remember what I said the other day?
I have known of 2 different vechicles that have had the problem that you describe. Both were front rotors and both turned out to be a bad flex brake line hose. The lining came loose and would let the pressure through but would not release it. It acted just like a check valve in the line on one rotor. One of them finally locked the rotor completely. Just a thought from my experience...
Either a bad caliper or you have mud in the caliper so it can't move towards the brake pad.. pull it clean it and see how it go's, If its still pulling and its clean replace the caliper.
Mine did the same thing at 100K miles...I just went and got new calipers, Rotors and flushed the old crappy looking fluid out....Works perfect again!
Good luck...
Rob mine looks just like yours. Only difference is mine is only 40k

is there a such thing as an egytian mau without spots?
she has all of the other physical and personality traits of an egyptian mau, but not the spots
Asked by
on Mar 27th 2009
in Egyptian Mau
- Cast your vote for which answer you think is best!
Your cat looks like a typical domestic short hair to me. Egyptian Maus are rare cats, and it is unlikely, first, that a breeder would sell an intact cat, and second, that an owner of such a valuable cat would just let it roam around looking for a one-night stand. Purebred cats often share similar personality traits (Maine Coons seem to be hard-wired to play with water), but these are not usually used to identify a cat's breed. Cat show judges go mostly upon body configuration and color. You should look up Egyptian Maus on the Cat Fanciers' Association website--they have an interesting history. Not all EMs have spots--apparently there are black ones, for example, but I didn't see anything about calicos. Anyway, you're a very pretty cat, with an owner who loves you.

The unique thing about Egyptian Maus is the spots. You are likely a DSH.

10 weeks post op revision. both 510 cc saline . Right was done from armpit and left through areola due to CC. Right has not dropped and when I flex my muscle implant goes up and distortion of breast is bad ! Please what should I do? Will it drop? My dr is not that helpful
10 Weeks Post Op. Right Will Not Drop?
Doctor Answers 4
!0 weeks post breast augmentation
Sometimes with a transaxillary approach, the muscle is not adequately released and the implant gets displaced with flexion as you mention. Best to discuss with your doctor. It may stretch a bit more with time.
In our practice we give our patients a breast band that helps apply pressure to the implants to they can drop into their pocket. At 10 weeks it is still soon and you still have time to make them drop.
Right Breast Implant Not Dropping?
Thank you for your question.
It is not possible to give you good advice without first examining you. Although some breast asymmetry is to be expected after breast augmentation surgery, it sounds like you have significant asymmetry of the breast implant pockets. Your situation is somewhat , catered by the need for revision I breast surgery as well as the use of 2 different approaches…
Because your surgeon knows you best, I would recommend that you continue with your follow up appointments and allow him/her to help you through this process. It seems like breast implant continues to be significantly higher and/or experience more "distortion" on the left, further revision breast surgery may be necessary. However, for now I would suggest aggressive massage of both breasts (if recommended by your plastic surgeon) and continued patience.
I hope this helps.

10 Weeks Post Op. Right Will Not Drop
I cannot tell from your question whether the right side has not dropped and all work it has not dropped enough. With photographs preferably before and after his is impossible to visualize the problem so please consider a catching some photos.
Do continue massage as instructed by your surgeon and stay in communication with that surgeon. If there really has been no change in 10 weeks since surgery it is unlikely but not impossible that her change will occur. Thanks for the question. Think about attaching some photos. Best wishes.

Does This Look Like The Face Of A Guy Who Threw His Parrot At Police In Attempts To Get Away?
Waterbury, Connecticut police were responding to a call about a fight when they encountered this gentleman, Luis Santana, 32, running from the scene. Police ordered Santana to spot and he responded by throwing a parrot at the officers. The bird bit the cop's finger and Santana ran off. Eventually, a witness led police to the man who, according to NBC Connecticut, was charged with "cruelty to animals, assault on a police officer, disorderly conduct, second-degree burglary and interfering with a police officer."
The easy way to look at this story is to say wow, I need an attack parrot. Attack parrots are dope as fuck. They'll bite a cop, they'll have your back, they'll do anything for you. Which is all true. But here's the problem with Luis Santana. He's a bird guy. You don't want to be a bird guy. You don't want to be any type of exotic animal guy. Birds, snakes, iguanas, ferrets, none of that shit. Because the minute you buy an exotic animal is the minute you start sliding down the slippery slope of life. You get a cute little parrot and next thing you know you're being arrested for fighting and robbery and throwing birds at people. Just stick with a dog and play it safe. No need to re-invent the wheel here guys.
I fundamentally don't understand how throwing a bird is animal cruelty. Birds fly, it's not throwing something if it can fly. That would be like being arrested for drowning a fish, makes no sense.

Date of Stay: June, 2007
Excellent Park! This was our second stay. The park is great, very nice pool, clubhouse, location. We stayed near the clubhouse and had a very strong Wi-fi signal in the coach. We will stay here again.
Date of Stay: June, 2006
We spent a week here and it was wonderful. The campground was the nicest we have ever seen. Sites are large, private, and shaded. Baths are excellent, clean, and modern. WIFI is available in the club house. Pool is very large, with a hot tub and snack bar. There are also 6 tennis courts. Location is in the center of HHI. The beach is 1.5 miles away via the bike trail, according to my trusty GPS. Part of the bike route is in the emergency lane of a heavily traveled road, so plan to drive if you have young kids or are uncomfortable in traffic. A great park!
Date of Stay: June, 2006
We stopped here for a quick night. Campground was nice with gravel lots. Bathhouse was modern, clean, but was not air conditioned. Voltage was a little low, but both units ran well. This is any easy access campground from I-16. We will stay there again.
Date of Stay: March, 2006
This was my second trip to Topsail. Once again, it was excellent.
Date of Stay: June, 2005
We overnighted here on the way to Destin. Sites are large and gravel. Most sites are on the lake. Bathhouse is nice,new, and clean. This park is convenient to Hwy 331 travelers, and would make a nice weekend trip. I will stay here again.
Date of Stay: June, 2005
We found Topsail to be a nice as we had heard. Sites are large and seem private. Pads are large and concrete. Shade is excellent. We stayed at site 139. Beach is wonderful, quiet, and undeveloped. Although the park was full and swarming with families with young children, it was very quiet and peaceful. I will stay here again.
Date of Stay: March, 2005
Fantastic campground. Large concrete access roads lead to shaded sites with large concrete pads. Excellent compground. If you don't like this one, sell your rig!

Breezy Point Sign Discourages Bicyclists
Dear Editor,
A large, unofficial sign has recently appeared at the entrance to the Breezy Point community in the Rockaways. The sign states that "the NYC bike path ends here" and that "this is a private cooperative community." A map of the NYC bicycle path is also attached to the sign.
It is our understanding from contacting the NYC Department of Transportation that the majority of the main road that traverses Breezy Point (Rockaway Point Boulevard) is owned and maintained by the City of New York. There is a Federal Reserve at the end of this road, as well as a public restaurant and shopping center alongside it, where all are welcome. In addition, the road itself is maintained by the public's tax dollars.
Although not explicitly stated, one cannot help but conclude that the sign actively discourages cyclists from entering Breezy Point, which is a lovely, picturesque and enjoyable bike ride. The presence of such a sign in New York City is a disgrace to the efforts of our fine city to foster the inclusiveness and enjoyment of the outdoors for which we are known.
Perhaps one could argue that the sign is a warning to cyclists that there is no designated bike path and thus to be careful, however, there is no such warning on this sign. In fact, the wide shoulders on Breezy Point's main road are more than ample for bicyclists and pedestrians.
Are we to believe that recreational cyclists, who do not reside in Breezy Point are considered unwanted in their community? The sign should be removed immediately.

A trifle is a layered dessert that is more or less the British version of an over-sized parfait. It typically consists of sponge cake or pound cake layered with fruit, cream, custard, and sometimes nuts. I tend to associate trifles with New Orleans, where I've seen chunks of cake mixed together and moistened with alcohol or syrup

Todd Strauss-Schulson's expertly constructed short film Valibation depicts circumstances going horribly awry after a man becomes too fixated on the twin streams of validation he derives from checking his smartphone and engaging in casual sexual hookups. Could this be the nightmarish next stage in human evolution?
Be advised not to watch this at work, if sexually explicit, stomach-churning Videodrome-style body horror doesn't fit at your office:

I am sorry it was a pain,it is a really sweet design, it seems too good for something that will just get spit upon!
But its adorable! Not 1 million dollars adorable but still adorable!
Bib is very cute. Working on all that detail on something is difficult. Try another, maybe do less quilting.
I can understand your frustration . . . I think we all have had a project like this. BUT, your bib is so cute!
That is sooooo adorable. Too bad it was so frustrating for you...don't give up yet...the next one may be easier!

When the Fifteenth Amendment ensured all citizens the right to vote regardless of race, it was not interpreted to include women. Suffrage leaders intensified their lobbying efforts on Congress. The Nineteenth Amendment, granting franchise to women, passed in 1919, with ratification completed in 1920.

Last week I was doing a slot for Sirius Radio in the US, and I was asked 'How do Arsenal stop Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, and Neymar?'
If I knew the answer to that, I would be a very rich man because I would write a pamphlet and sell it to football managers in Spain and across Europe. Having made the gag elsewhere about using weapons, I guess the answer is hard work, 100% concentration, and a bit, or a lot, of luck.
Between them this season they have 91 goals and 43 assists. It's genuinely frightening how good they are, and our chances of getting anything from tie will require us to keep them quieter than most teams have managed this season. That trio aside, this is a team that has scored 4 goals or more in a game 13 times this season. We've managed it just once.
They have goals galore, we've struggled to score far too often, and on that basis alone it's going to be a tough task tonight. Thankfully, there's more to football than just that, but we have to hope the intangibles and the variables are very much on our side. We know what Barcelona can do, and probably how they do it, but stopping them is much easier said than done.
It's not impossible though. They've had their occasional blips this season, and three times they've let 4 goals in. Granted, that was much earlier in the season, before they got themselves motoring the way they are now, but it might just provide a small glimmer of hope that if we can get at them the right way, there are goals in this for us.
In terms of his team, Arsene Wenger has a few decisions to make. Up front I'm assuming he's going to go for Olivier Giroud. Although he started Theo Walcott against Bayern Munich back in October to give us pace on the counter-attack, that also came at a time when we have a midfield more capable of relieving some pressure. The absence of Santi Cazorla means that we might be inclined to bypass that area a bit more, and look to Giroud to hold the ball up and give us an outlet.
He's certainly much more capable of doing that than Walcott, and if he can get himself on Mascherano and use his physicality and touch to win the ball, then that would make sense, as well as giving us an aerial threat. It's wrong to say Barcelona are weak in any area, but they're not the tallest team, and perhaps that's somewhere we can take advantage if set-piece delivery and crossing is good.
Would he then use Walcott on the right hand side? Having that pace to counter-attack would be handy weapon, but in recent times Wenger has made it fairly obvious he doesn't trust Walcott from a defensive point of view. So, unless he has a major sit down with him and beats it into him that he's got to be switched on at all times, it seems unlikely.
The issue though is who is that much better? Joel Campbell probably is, but doesn't seem to bring out the best in Hector Bellerin, another player whose pace could be important. They tend to slow each other down, whereas when he plays with somebody like Oxlade-Chamberlain (also not the most secure defensively), or Aaron Ramsey, he tends to get forward a lot more.
Then you might ask do we want him getting forward in a way that might leave us exposed? Even if Francis Coquelin will shield the back four with much more discipline than others, we have to be mindful of leaving space for them to exploit because they're deadly at it. Could he pack the midfield and push Ramsey out there? Is it too soon for Danny Welbeck to start a game of this magnitude?
Even talking pre-game, it's hard to know exactly what Wenger is thinking. On the one hand he's obviously keen to keep a clean sheet, knowing how damaging away goals can be in this competition:
Many times I have said that should be suppressed because if you concede a goal at home in the Champions League it's a knife in your heart every time. Against big teams it becomes very difficult, It's true that recently our goals have dried up a bit and we have to find a way to get that going again. But I am more concerned about stopping them from scoring because at home in the Champions League nil-nil is not a bad score.
On the other though, he knows that putting them under some pressure, and testing the area of the team where they're least-strong will be important too:
I cannot go into a game and think I will just play a zero-zero. I believe you cannot say you are a big club and you just want to defend. On the other hand, Barcelona is a very offensive team. So to give you no chance at all to score against them is guilty as well. You have to try to score against them because if they have a vulnerability like we have it is defensively like with any offensive team.
Trying to find that balance is needle in a haystack stuff against a team like this, and it is undoubtedly going to be a massive test. We've done it before though, as that famous win in 2011 shows. If that wasn't quite as brilliant a Barcelona team, it was also an Arsenal team that few would give any chance to if they had to do it again tonight.
It's been interesting to see talk of how much we should concentrate on tonight when the Premier League is a much more attainable goal this season. It's impossible to argue against that fact, but I don't think we can afford to do anything but give it everything tonight. The players won't be looking at this in any other way than a huge match against brilliant opposition, and a chance to pit themselves against the best team in Europe.
Isn't this what the Champions League should be about? If our group stage was dramatic, that was down to us making it that way through some poor performances rather than any inherent excitement in that part of the competition. It's usually pretty dull. But this, this is the real deal. These are the games that the players want to play in, and they should be the games that fans cherish, rather than dismissing them as irrelevant because they're difficult.
Don't get me wrong, I understand the outlook, and the fear that taking a beating might dent our confidence and form. For me though, we don't have much of either at the moment, and maybe we should look at this as a game that can help our Premier League ambitions rather than hurt them.
For all their quality, we have a bit of our own too. It would be great to see Alexis Sanchez find some form against his old club. Do we not think Mesut Ozil, a former Real Madrid player, will be well up for this one? And this is a relatively mature, experienced side who will know all eyes are on them this evening and will want to prove those who say this is going to be a thrashing wrong.
It might end up that way, who knows? This Barcelona side can go to the Bernebeu and stick 4 past Madrid, but it might also be one of those European nights that lives long in the memory of Arsenal fans. Hard work, 100% concentration, and a bit, or a lot of luck – you just don't know, and that's the beauty of football.
I think we're all realistic enough to know how hard it's going to be, but at the same time, if you can't allow yourself to hope just a little, then what's the point?

Fourth annual Bachelor Butte Dog Derby held
Dog sled teams race five to 25 miles
BEND, Ore. - The Wanoga Sno-Park was packed Saturday morning, as dog sled teams took advantage of the good conditions for the fourth annual Bachelor Butte Dog Derby.
About 30 sled dog and skijoring teams gathered at the sno-park to take part in the race, all of them racing anywhere from five to 25 miles.
The youngest competitor in Saturday's competition is 12 years old, but she says she has no problem racing against the big dogs.
"When you're at kind of the starting line, when they start to count 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... you get really nervous," said dog sled racer Kensington Myers. "The dogs are pumped, and it's just a lot of fun."
Myers said she had to get special permission to participate in the event, since the starting age to race is usually 14.
The races will continue Sunday at 8:30 a.m. at the Wanoga Sno-Park off of Century Drive. Find more information here: http://psdsa.org/Races/BachelorButte.aspx

If you have ever put together your own vision board, be it via physical means or a digital format such as Mind Movies, you will want to ensure that you follow these six critical keys that will help manifest the items on your personal vision board in the shortest time possible.
1. Be Very Specific On What It Is You Are Trying To Attract.
The first thing you need to make sure of when you create any vision board, is that you are explicitly clear in exactly and very precisely what it is you are trying to attract.
For example, wanting 'financial abundance' is going to be almost definitely different to every person who brings their own precise personal definition to it. Instead, 'zero in' on exactly the amount that you regard as financial abundance, in terms of dollars and cents. The more specific you are, the more focused you are and can start to clearly manifest.
2. Ensure Your Vision Board Is Not Overflowing With Images
For a similar reason to the point above, you really need to be focused very specifically on what it is you are trying to manifest. Whether you are using a paper/chalk board vision board or opting to use a digital mind movie version, try to keep the number of different pictures to a minimum.
In the case of using a digital vision board, you can be better off creating different movies for different areas of your life. This way, you will be focused every time you watch, to manifest precisely what it is you are after in a certain area of your life.
3. Easy Access To Your Vision Board
Remember, that once you create your Vision Board, you will need to access it often. That means that it needs to be in a place that you can get access to it all the time. If you are using a paper based version, you don't want your Vision Board to be lost underneath some paperwork, or placed on a wall that you seldomly will acknowledge.
With a digital version, access to it in the case of Mind Movies software will only be a few clicks away as it's available online in your membership area or if you opted to download it to a computer.
Whatever you've chosen to create a vision board, make sure you got very easy access to it.
4. Relevancy To Current Situation
Lets face it. Life changes, situations changes. Remember that dream partner you always wanted, maybe it's not so relevant any more.
Maybe you've had or known someone close who's had major health issues recently and it's shifted your focus somewhat now into what's important to from this point onwards.
You're Vision Board should always be modified to reflect what it is in your life you want to manifest now. As situations change or you evolve, make sure you change what you are looking at on your Vision Board.
Changing a paper based version of a vision board can be a little tricky. You may need to throw it away and start a new one if it looks too messy to change. A digital version of course, is much easier to modify to any extent, only requiring a few minutes and clicks to refresh, refocus and produce.
5. No Internal Conflicts With Your Belief System
A Vision Board usually consists of things that we hope and dream for. Sometimes, this can look totally impossible for a 'rational thinker'.
You may find yourself having some inner conflicts, to believe that items on your Vision Board will manifest.
If you find yourself feeling this way, you will need to change your focus. How? Take a look at the questions you're asking yourself. You're likely to be asking questions that start to make you believe that you're not deserving.
Remember, the law of attraction works by bringing into your life, whatever you deeply believe. So, watch/look at your Vision Board with a sense of conviction. You DO deserve this. Ensure that as you look at each item, you FEEL it come to pass.
6. Taking Action
The law of attraction is a powerful law. However, if you only occasionally watch your mind movie, truth is, you will not likely attract what it is you are trying to manifest. It's simply not how the law works.
Be committed to your Vision Board and look at it as often as you can. At the very least, once a day.
Most importantly as you look/watch it, you want to FEEL that it has come to pass already! That might sound strange, but what is strange is that's what typically happens when you truly feel it deeply. You will start to see the 'floodgates of abundance' start to open. Situations start to change, opportunities magically surround you and are drawn to you. As they do, TAKE ACTION!
Success On AutoPilot: Watch this video whilst it's still available right now...
You've probably watched or at least heard of the movie "The Secret", where it talks about the Law Of Attraction, which teaches the fundamental teaching that 'like attracts like'.
What this essentially means, is that whenever you think about something, you give off a certain vibration or energy and the universe responds by delivering the same vibration right back to you.
So, the more you are clear and focus on the life you do want to lead, then these things will be attracted into your life, so that the life you invest your time thinking about, manifests into actual reality.
If that sounds a little far-fetched and too magical, think about this for a moment. Have you ever had a situation in your life where you began to think about something in particular and the next thing you know, it showed up and almost left you feeling a little freaked out?
The law of attraction is an incredibly powerful law and has been scientifically proven. When you understand and use it, there's absolutely nothing stopping you from creating the life of your dreams.

Since England gave up winning rugby matches for Lent it has seemed even stranger they let their potential saviour go. Over a modest lunchtime bowl of soup Brian Ashton sounds like a typical disgruntled fan as he dissects a Six Nations Championship of dubious quality. "If they awarded a prize for Six Nations coach of the season the guy who'd deserve it would be Pierre Berbizier," he says pointedly.
As the highly respected head coach of Bath, the 59-year-old Ashton is well qualified to identify a cure for England's malaise. But until late last year he was on the inside as head of the Rugby Football Union's national academy. Since he left, the national side's fortunes have plummeted while Bath have been reborn. A top-six finish is possible if they can tame Leicester Tigers at home today before the sides' Heineken Cup quarter-final next weekend. The grey-haired messiah of the Rec transforms rugby teams quicker than it takes the average coach to learn his players' Christian names.
So why was Ashton not asked to give the kiss of life to the senior England back line when he was still an RFU employee? Instead Andy Robinson, in his wisdom, left his old friend on the academy margins and lost him permanently. Or maybe not. "I feel I've got unfinished business at international level," says Ashton, leaving others to unwrap the come-hither message barely concealed between the lines.
The merest suggestion that Ashton will listen to offers of a role in a revamped England set-up will make everyone sit bolt upright, not least in Bath. It also highlights the erosion of England's attacking game since the Lancastrian's departure, for personal reasons, from Sir Clive Woodward's posse of assistants almost four years ago. His relationship with Robinson dates back to Bath's mid-80s glory days but he does not hesitate to identify the leading figure the RFU needs to extricate itself from its cul-de-sac. A clue? The mystery man is called Clive and is currently working in the Southampton area.
"It needs a strong leader at the top, not necessarily involved with coaching," explains Ashton, evidently a believer in sporting reincarnation. "Clive has done that job before and there's not the slightest doubt, if he wanted to do it again, that he has the capability. I think it is possible to revive the England side before the World Cup next year. The playing talent is there and more is coming through."
And if Woodward were to return by popular demand, his dream team would surely include Ashton. "I'll be honest with you," says Ashton, anticipating the inevitable question. "If I was approached to coach at national level it would be something I'd consider. It's like being a player, isn't it? They don't turn around and say: 'Actually, could you pick me in 18 months' time?'" Might he try to combine England with his Bath role? Apparently not. "It's a professional game. It would be totally unfair on the two organisations to half-commit to both."
So there it is. England might yet get their wizard back. It would have been an awful lot simpler had the RFU been more proactive in late October when its performance director Chris Spice received Ashton's resignation phone call. Ashton felt he was spending too much time shuffling paper and not enough on the training field. "I started to enjoy the job less because I was having less influence over the people I was meant to be influencing. I want to coach, that's what I enjoy doing most, that's what I'm best at." Sporadic outings with England's A team were not enough. "If you're a coach you want to coach at the highest level possible."
Maybe, crazy as it sounds, some within the RFU still do not truly appreciate Ashton's gift. Either that or they want a quieter life. Following a nomadic career as a scrum-half which took him from the north-west of England to France and Italy, the former history teacher has never been shy to speak his mind. In fact, having emerged from a mid-life pit-stop with a new hip and a younger wife, he feels "as mobile and fit as I was 10 to 15 years ago" and even more determined to stop English rugby from reverting to type.
What dismays him most is the fear of failure throttling so many games. "The standard of the Six Nations did concern me. I thought it was a disappointing tournament and France won it without, by their own admission, playing particularly well." For an innovator like Ashton, winning in first gear is not enough. He has been experimenting with Bath's A team - "Just going out to win A league games is a total waste of time" - who, on occasions, have been ordered not to kick for 80 minutes.
"It's about helping players to recognise they have ability and persuading them not to hide it away. The challenge has been not to play what I call soft-option rugby: doing things because most sides do them, like automatically kicking for touch in your own 22. I've never been afraid to give players freedom.
"Very often our players are good at performing a skill but no good at translating it to a game situation. They can do it but they don't know when to do it. I think kids up to the ages of 12, 13 or 14 are better off not playing rugby union at all. I'll be accused of heresy by the RFU but, if you want to understand the game's dynamic, it's probably much better learned by games like football or basketball. Hockey, too, although the stick gets in the way. They might even be better playing netball; you've got three seconds to get rid of the ball so you've always got to be thinking ahead."
He has yet to squeeze Danny Grewcock into a netball skirt but Bath have responded with four wins in their last five Premiership games. Ashton deflects the credit - "You don't flick switches as a rugby coach" - but his visionary reputation has been enhanced. He hates doing the obvious: he chose rugby despite being a promising young cricketer, a wicket-keeper good enough to be on the Lancashire ground staff in the era of Farokh Engineer.
For light relief he is reading a book about vampires. Does the England team need fresh blood? "I do feel for Andy Robinson. It seems, from the outside, he has had to be manager and coach which, at that level, is damn near impossible. You need the right structure and someone needs to be accountable. We're in the fortunate position of having someone in Clive who has done it before. Like Martin Johnson, I'd back him all the way."
Ashton also has a private motive for wanting another shot. England played some sumptuous rugby during his four years in Woodward's regime but, despite sowing the seeds, he did not share in the 2003 World Cup triumph. "There was a lot of satisfaction but also a lot of dissatisfaction that, because of personal things, I didn't see it through. I'm still striving to be the best coach in the world. I want to be better tomorrow than I was today . . . pushing back boundaries is really important to me." He pauses. "A lot of our rugby is too static and confrontational but, mentally, it's not confrontational at all."
By now he sounds more like an exiled spiritual leader - and, very possibly, the answer to England's prayers.
Brian Ashton's other career
England have been careless to lose Brian Ashton but all rugby should pause at the thought that he could have been lost altogether - to cricket. Ashton was an accomplished wicketkeeper and played six matches for Lancashire Under-15s in 1962. David Lloyd was in the same team. "He was a bit of a character, a really nice lad," said Lloyd, who played nine Tests for England and coached the national team from 1996-99, and is now a Sky Sports commentator. "He must have been good, because we had a cracking side. Frank Hayes, who went on to play for England against West Indies, was kingpin. There was a lad called Bill Taylor who went on to play for Nottinghamshire, opening the bowling with Garry Sobers. To get into that team you had to be exceptional. He's missed his way, pissing about with rugby!" In winter Lloyd played football for Accrington Stanley but Hayes and Ashton were egg-chasers, Hayes at Broughton Park and Ashton, a scrum-half, with Tyldesley, Fylde and Orrell. He toured Australia in 1975 without winning a cap before playing and coaching in Italy. His England coaching stint is remembered for the record 29 tries in the 2001 Six Nations but Lloyd advises him not to return: "Don't do it," he says, laughing. "Seriously, do it your way. Sinatra had it right."

Ok I'll put my 2 cents in again. If you like spending money to prevent something that might happen, go right ahead it's your money! If you don't, then take solice in the fact that my 01 330ci is at 166K miles with only 2 thermostat changes at 60 & 120K and a water pump change at 120K because it was actually leaking. Everything else in the cooling system is original. Just because one or a few people have a failure, doesn't mean we all must go out and replace everything! Hell if this your approach, you should just lease a new car every three years and forgetaboutit when it comes to maintenance! This is the problem with the web in that right or wrong is clouded by certain opinions that can spread like wildfire and become gospel. Oh, don't tell anybody, I use Prestone and doh I use Syntec 5-50! and on and on

Cnooc Chairman Confident Nexen Deal Done by Year End
Cnooc Ltd. (883), China's biggest offshore oil and natural gas producer, said it's confident its proposed $15.1 billion takeover of Canada's Nexen Inc. (NXY) will be completed by the end of the year.
"We are fully confident of a successful transaction," Chairman Wang Yilin said at a meeting held as part of the 18th Chinese Communist Party Congress in Beijing today. "We expect the deal will be done by the end of 2012."
Canada extended its review of state-owned Cnooc's bid for the second time on Nov. 2, resetting the deadline to Dec. 10 and citing the need for a thorough review.
"We think this is normal," Wang said today. "It's such a big acquisition."
Cnooc shares fell 0.6 percent to HK$15.98 as of 11:59 a.m. in Hong Kong trading, while the benchmark Hang Seng Index declined 0.4 percent. Nexen shares rose 2.7 percent to US$24.14 in New York at 1:04 p.m., 12 percent below Cnooc's US$27.50 per- share offer price.
A takeover of Nexen would add around 200,000 barrels a day, or more than 70 million barrels a year to Cnooc's output. The Beijing-based company last month raised its 2012 net production target as much as 1.5 percent to 245 million barrels.

New Zealand coach Mike Hesson is confident his team are "trending in the right direction" ahead of their return tour to England next month.
Before the ANZ international test series, if offered a drawn test rubber with the world second-ranked team New Zealand would have taken it, given the grim forebodings of what lay ahead.
As it transpired the New Zealand dressing room at Eden Park on Tuesday night reflected the sharp disappointment of falling one wicket short of a terrific series victory.
"The guys gave it everything, we had 143 overs [to bowl at England], we had some chances and probably needed a bit of luck, but many factors contributed to a great test.
"The level of disappointment will be there for a long time, but there's also satisfaction in how we played," Hesson said.
It seems a long way from the dark days early in January when New Zealand were being battered from Cape Town to Port Elizabeth by the world's best team.
Hesson quipped that "you still wake up every now and then in a cold sweat" over that experience, but said the squad had changed how they wanted to play their cricket.
"This is a good start. The first day of the test series set the tone for that."
New Zealand bowled England out for 167 at Dunedin's University Oval and new opening pair, debutant Hamish Rutherford and recalled veteran Peter Fulton, then put on 158 for the first wicket.
"It gave the guys a heck of a lot of confidence and things evolved from there."
One change from the South African series is the alignment of the team, which New Zealand retained for all three tests.
In South Africa, New Zealand had five batsmen, wicketkeeper BJ Watling, an allrounder in either James Franklin or Colin Munro, and four specialist bowlers.
Against England there were six batsmen, Watling at No7 and four frontline bowlers, with Kane Williamson offering useful offspin.
Seamers Tim Southee, Neil Wagner and Trent Boult got through a pile of overs, testament to their stamina. Left-armer Wagner was the most successful bowler on either side.
New Zealand's consistency through the series was one of the most pleasing aspects for Hesson.
A stiff challenge awaits. England in England are sure to be a tougher proposition than the side which waxed and waned in quality through the New Zealand visit.
However Hesson is optimistic that his squad will be competitive.
"We are trying to bed in a style of cricket we want to play. We've done it for a few games in a row. It's a matter of not wanting to step backwards, and trying to grow on that in England," he said.
Squads of 15 will be named next week for the test and Champions Trophy/ODI legs of the England trip. Batsman Martin Guptill is progressing well from his thumb injury; lively left-armer Mitchell McClenaghan is back bowling after his side strain during the ODI series against England; and Dan Vettori is off to the Indian Premier League to continue his return from a lengthy Achilles injury layoff.
It is too early to rush to judgment about a renaissance in the New Zealand team. That takes more than 13 days of cricket - two days were complete washouts in the test series - but certainly it is right to be optimistic that a corner has been turned in outlook and confidence.
What's next
• New Zealand's squads for the test and Champions Trophy legs of next month's tour of England will be named on April 5.
• Three players returning from injury, Martin Guptill, Mitch McClenaghan and Dan Vettori, are all making encouraging progress and are in the selection frame.
• The first test starts at Lord's on May 16, the second at Leeds on May 24. They are followed by three ODIs, with the Champions Trophy starting on June 6. Two T20s at the end of June wrap up the tour.

Less Than Stellar for NCL Sun!!: Norwegian Sun Cruise Review by LoveMyHubby2
Overall Member Rating
Less Than Stellar for NCL Sun!!
Destination: Western Caribbean
Embarkation: Port Canaveral (Orlando)
1. The first is the fire/burning odor that occurred on the 3rd night of the cruise. Our room was on the 10th floor aft, and we were awoken late in the evening to a horrible burning smell and immediately attempted to call the front desk. However. after letting the phone ring endlessly without anyone picking up and calling multiple times, my wife had to get dressed and go down to the front desk. The counter lady had zero concern and zero sense of urgency at the matter, regardless of the fact we were not the only ones standing there reporting this matter. Please understand that people do have huge phobias of fire, especially when they are contained on a ship out in the ocean with nowhere to go. After about 30 minutes, a security officer appeared and began by trying to tell us that it "May not be a fire. I think it is that they are burning all the excess plastic waste and may be accidentally venting it through More your room." That made us feel much better - NOT!. The boat isn't burning, but instead it is piping toxic gas into our room. He then began looking in various storage doors up and down the halls on the 9th and 10th floors and radioed to people about the strength of the burning odor. Another 20 minutes later a second officer appeared, and this time he pulled us aside and said "I think it's somebody smoking some really bad dope." and the he turned to my wife and said "You know the difference between good dope and bad dope and how awful the bad dope smells..." Seriously? Not only was he minimizing the issue, he was all but accusing my wife of being a drug user. After a third officer arrived and another 15 minutes went by, we were informed that there was indeed an overheated rubber fan belt in the A/C unit that caught fire and was causing the odor. We were assured it was being taken care of and that the smell would dissipate shortly. That was about 2 hours later before we were able to go back to sleep. We ended up having to go to the Sports Bar for a while before being able to return to our room. All this while still having to get up early in the morning.
2. The second issue was the absolutely horrible excursion you had charged us for in Guatemala. After speaking with NCL representatives over the phone prior to the trip and reviewing your website, we were talked into going to the Amatique Bay Resort for the BBQ. We signed up online well before the cruise left. It was a 100% waste of money.
They listed the following with pictures of a full pool and the blue water. NOTE: this is now listed as no longer available. Wonder why.
Amatique Beach Break & Bbq
Depart by boat from the pier for a 30-minute ride to the beauty of Amatique Bay Resort, complete with its large pool area, landscaped grounds, wet bar and water-slides for children and the young at heart. The brown-sand beach is ideal for tanning and playing. Local artisans come to the resort to offer visitors colorful handicrafts. This is an excellent experience for everyone in the family. A barbecue-style buffet lunch is included.
We took our own pictures which reflect that the main pool isn't even FULL. It was so low that it was more than 18 inches below the filters. There were people on the sides with nets trying to keep the pool clean. The kid pool was filthy and with the exception of a couple of locals, parents were keeping their kids clear.
Moving on, there were not enough lounge chairs, and we were forced to lay on the uneven tiled concrete ground until a porter was able to round up a few extra lounges. Further the "BBQ" was about 6 bins of cheap food: Rice, beans, burgers, some chicken pieces. The point is that if we wanted to swim - we could have stayed on the boat, that pool was better - and free. If we wanted to sunbathe, we could have stayed on the boat and had nice lounge chairs and a place to sit - and that was free. And if we wanted lunch, we could have just eaten at the Garden Cafe, the food was better, both in quality and variety - and free! How you can charge us for this, or put the NCL name on this is ridiculous. When we first brought this to the excursion desk's attention, they immediately agreed, said we were by no means the first to mention this, and offered us ½ of our money back. That isn't sufficient. We wasted a full day here when we could have simply stayed on the boat for free. We are very glad you no longer are offering this trip. It is completely unworthy of NCL.
3. The third item was the SECOND evening with the burning odor in our room. Once again it occurred in the middle of the night and woke us up. Once again we were forced to get out of bed, get dressed and vacate our room until the smell dissipated - as it was making us nausious. And once again, we would have liked to been sleeping as we had to get up early in the morning.
4. The final item is the lack of response to our request that the TV in our room be repaired or replaced. The brightness was broken and turned all the way down. If there was a light image on the screen it appeared very dark, and if the image on the screen was dark, then the screen looked black - like the TV was off entirely. We called this in on day 3 and again a couple of days later and nothing was ever done. Granted, we did not spend a lot of time in the room, but while we were getting dressed for dinners or the evening it would have been nice to be able to watch TV at that time. Again, the lack of urgency/care was completely unacceptable from NCL. We got a card on our door on April 21, 2011 (after having complained twice) asking us to call them regarding maintenance. Just go in there and replace the TV for God's sake. We are on vacation and are not going to stay in a room for a maintenance call.
Finally, there were other minor issues - such as a THIRD fire, one that kept our cruise from getting underway for a couple of hours - that kept this from being as enjoyable a vacation as we expected, especially when compared to previous cruises, both on NCL and other cruise lines.
Other than the above, the food was great. The dining room and other service was great. Room steward was great. Less

I saw the Australian production of Mary Poppins in Perth and I absolutely loved it.
In an age when children grow up with computer-generated special effects, it was wonderful to see so many little ones - and adults as well - enchanted by the magic of the theatre.
You know that the art of stagecraft is alive and well when you see the extraordinary sets and fabulous costumes and sleights of hand in Mary Poppins.
I went along to the opening night for the New Zealand run of the show on Thursday and it was even better than the performance I saw in Australia.
That was because of another important component of theatre - the audience.
Every live show will vary slightly because of the actors' performances and because of the reaction of the audience.
When you have a theatre filled with people who are appreciating every line, laughing at every joke and applauding every song, it generates a whole different energy compared to people who are sitting there passively, arms folded, almost daring the actors to entertain them.
The success of a show doesn't just depend on those who are on stage - it's about the audience as well.
On both those counts, the opening night of Mary Poppins was a triumph.

Now from MY OWN EXPERIENCE. the best were of course in the S500 (THEY CAME STOCK), and the worse in the dodge nitro.
When the car had stock housings most of the time there was way too much glare and it was blinding to oncoming traffic notice i said MOST of the time. On the galant (stock housing) no glare whatsoever. But each car is different.
I guess my point is, since im kinda hungry and food is on the table, that when you have projectors installed, you annoy less people. Yes you can tweak the hid kid and adjust it, and get ZERO complaints but if you want the hid kit for its functionality then I recommend doing right the first time.
Of course each car is different not every car needs it. BUT lets make an effort to stop being a nuisance to society and DO THINGS PROPERLY.
OR you can say screw me and do it your way. I dont care i see someone with glaring headlights, ill laugh at them and they may come in to our rice reports.
Well, I hope it doesn't get locked. I see no reason for it to be, for the most part we've remained fairly civil.
By blinding other traffic, how do you tell this is happening? How is it measured? Is it the number of high-beam flashes you get?
At least in my experience, I get nearly zero. Occasionally when I'm on a slight incline and come up to a stop sign or stop light my lights shine directly into the eyes of the other car's occupants. Even with halogens this would be annoying, but with HIDs (even aftermarket) it's downright painful to the eyeballs. At least in my experience when this happens I get flashed and the dirty looks ensue. Totally understandable. But in general driving conditions, I've been flashed so infrequently that when I compare it to other cars I've owned with stock halogens or stock HIDs, I assuming that my aftermarket HIDs are
offensive than other cars I've owned that haven't been modified.
Thanks for sharing. I think you tastefully stated your opinion and I really appreciate it.

Depression is a serious mental condition that can be very easily misunderstood or go unnoticed by people surrounding the depressed. While many may simply disregard one or more of the five warning signs of depressions as someone "being sad," they might actually be the signs of a serious disorder.
Like most conditions, the key to treating depression is to diagnose it early. The longer people wait to receive treatment, the more risk they subject themselves to in terms of the possible negative effects of living with depression.
