@nickbLocale: Los Padres National Forest
This trip report is woefully late coming, but over this last winter, fellow BPL member Jhaura and I completed a couple of longish weekend loops through the Southern section of Los Padres National Forest, primarily in and around the Sespe Wilderness, and starting and ending each hike near the town of Ojai, CA.
As luck would have it, neither trip went as planned. Weather/environmental challenges and highway closures foiled our initial plans both times and we had to scramble to make on the fly changes to our initial itineraries.
Our first attempt was to be a 65-mile two-night loop bordering the edge of the Matilija Wilderness area before crossing Hwy 33, traversing the Sespe high country, dropping back down to the Sespe River, then climbing back up and over the Nordhoff Ridge and dropping back into Ojai to walk home. Anticipated elevation gain and loss over the course of the hike was estimated at around 15,000' each. The forecast called for a cold winter storm to hit the region, one of the first of the season, with snow levels forecast down to around 2,500'. Our route would take us up to around the 7,000' mark so we were sure to hit snow at some point along the way.
The first stretch of the hike followed a trail mostly used by the OHV crowd. Not the most pleasant walk but it allowed us to create a semi-loop for the purposes of the trip. Highlight of this section's walk was unknowingly walking into the makeshift shooting range a couple of knuckleheads had decided to set up ON THE TRAIL. Thankfully, they were taking a beer and reloading break when we happened to come around the bend in the trail and be standing just behind their set-up targets. Close call.
Looking out over the ocean and Ventura, CA from up high on the Ortega Trail.
Just to the left of center, off in the distance, are the peaks we would be climbing over the next afternoon.
The hike continued on uneventfully, steadily gaining elevation as we reached the confluence of the Ortega, Matilija and Cherry Creek trails. We worked hard through this section and easily went through most of the initial 1-1.5 liters of water we were each carrying. Normally, in the winter, the area would have enough seasonally running creeks and streams that this amount of water would have been sufficient and so we didn't initially worry too much when our reserves were getting low and we had yet to find any running water as we were coming up on Cherry Creek.
First hints of the change in weather started to creep in that afternoon.
We hadn't really considered the chances of NOT finding water. But it turned out our local backcountry had not quite recovered from the previous year's drought at this early point in the winter. Of course, not discovering that you've embarked on an ambitious dry hike until you're about 15 or 16 miles and 6,000' vertical feet into it can throw a kink into the best laid plans. Oops.
With just enough water left for a couple of sips, salvation was upon us when we rounded a corner on the OHV route we had been following and found a beautiful, clear pool of water in an otherwise dry creek bed. Score! We both quickly drank the last of our water and promptly filtered/treated and refilled our bottles. Imagine our surprise to discover upon those first sips that our beautiful, clear, rejuvenating and refreshing pool of water was actually a sulfur spring. Yuck! Nothing quite breaks the spirit like a nice big surprising swig of rotten egg water.
Cherry Creek continued to dole out punishment for us with a thick, gloppy couple of miles of mud walking to the highway. What better way to boost morale than adding a few pounds of mud to each shoe!
Upon reaching the highway, a quick check of the Sespe River and all of the nearby tributaries confirmed we were still left high and dry. Considering our options, we decided road walking along the highway until we could find a section of river with running water was a better bet than sticking to the original route which would have seen us hiking another 5 miles or so and gaining another 3,000'+ of elevation to reach the next chance of water at a "reliable" spring.
During our road walk we had ample opportunities to enjoy the sunset.
A few miles into our road walk, a car pulled off to the side and offered us a ride. We accepted and instantly cut our road walk by more than half. From where we were dropped off, we continued on into the night to re-connect with our original route. Tired, hungry and happy to be back along running water, we quickly set up camp, ate some dinner and turned in.
The next morning dawned eerily quiet. Pulling back the door to the tent confirmed that snow had begun to fall. It would proceed to snow more or less throughout the rest of the day with brief breaks when the clouds would part and the sun would shine through.
Exploring around the area a little bit later that morning turned up evidence of historic use of the camp. The year "1868" along with some now-faded names are carved into this boulder.
Nearby was evidence of yet even older occupation of the area. This is an image of one of several fading Chumash Native American pictographs to be found in the area.
We eventually got on with our walk, heading back toward the Sespe River.
At the confluence of the Sespe River and Lion Creek, we were surprised to find Lion Creek frozen over. The novelty of this quickly becomes apparent when you consider we're only about 30-40 miles inland of the ocean in Southern CA.
Afternoon snow flurries were the order of the day as we climbed higher on the last of three big climbs the original route followed.
A brief respite from the clouds and snow. Temps mostly hovered at or below freezing, we were both happy to be hiking in our mid layers and rain gear.
From atop the ridge, we could catch brief glimpses down the canyons leading toward the Ojai Valley.
We eventually decided to call it a day and camp at a seasonal car camp along the ridgeline overlooking Ojai to the south and the Sespe River to the north. There is no water available in the area, so we ended up having to melt snow for cooking and drinking water. On esbit stoves with 550-600 ml pots. Talk about stupid light. After this trip Jhaura promptly got himself set up with a Kovea Spider remote cannister stove and I fished out and repaired my MRS Simmerlite for future snow camping trips.
Just as it got dark, we were hit by the next wave of the storm which over the course of an hour or two dumped about 3 or 4 more inches on us. Just as quickly as the cell moved in, it blew on out, revealing clear skies for the rest of the night.
I incorrectly assumed it wouldn't get too much colder this second night than it did the first night and so I didn't take any special measures to keep shoes, socks, etc. from freezing overnight. I was rewarded with socks, gloves and shoes frozen rock solid the next morning.
Another test of patience Sunday morning with the next round of melting snow.
Jhaura pretty stoked on the circumstances nonetheless.
Last full moon of 2012 setting to the west over the Santa Barbara backcountry.
The winter sunrise was spectacular with the fresh snow blanketing everything around us. Off in the distance on the horizon are Anacapa and Santa Cruz Islands, two of the islands that comprise Channel Islands National Park, site of some of my other adventures.
The sun just about the creep up over the mountains to the east. Famous Malibu Beach is just on the other side of the ridgeline in the distance.
A pulled back view of camp. The ridgeline in the background is Pine Mountain, in the vicinity of where we hiked from the previous day.
One more moonset shot before breaking down camp.
The hike back into town quickly warmed up. It wasn't long before we had shed all extra layers and left the snow behind as we rapidly descended one of the front country trails into Ojai and walked back into town.Apr 26, 2013 at 12:54 pm #1980806

@nickbLocale: Los Padres National Forest
About two months after the above trip, Jhaura and I teamed up again when the forecast was calling for more winter weather. Unfortunately, this storm moved in early and dumped a bit of snow in the Sespe, down to around 3,000' elevation, before we could get out there. Enough snow fell at low enough elevations that the Highway Patrol shut down Hwy 33 which is the only road in and out of the main Sespe River area.
Thus, we were once again making last minute adjustments to our plans and ended up settling on a lollipop-shaped 50-mile overnight loop from one of the front-country trails in Ojai up and over the ridge to the Sespe River and back.
A vintage-looking perspective of the Ojai Valley from part way up the canyon on our way toward the backcountry. The trail steadily gains a few thousand feet of elevation over about 5 miles. Roughly two thirds of the way up the climb is a nice pine-shaded camp with a reliable year-round spring.
The weather cleared up overnight and provided us with relatively warm temps for ridgeline walk before dropping down the backside to the Sespe River. Little remnants of snow from the prior day's storm could be found here and there.
Walking the ridgeline OHV route before descending the trail to the river that we had climbed up on the prior trip.
Jhaura silhouetted against the backdrop of Lion Canyon.
We hiked on into the evening before setting up camp along the Sespe River at the same site used by previous BPL group trips.
The next morning, while slower sections of the Sespe were icing up around the edges, we broke camp, crossed the river and got on with our walk following the Sespe downstream.
Until meeting the Red Reef Trail junction at which point we crossed the Sespe one more time before starting our way up the backside of the Topa Topa mountains.
The Red Reef is a favorite trail amongst many Sespe hikers. The lower reach of the trail stays in the riparian corridor of Red Reef Canyon. In a particularly narrow stretch, the trail passes through a tunnel that has been blast through the bedrock. A date etched into the wall of the tunnel reveals it was originally constructed in 1914.
Miles and a few thousand feet of elevation gain later, we passed through the upper section of the Red Reef trail that skirts along the rim of the Timber Canyon drainage. Temps were chilly as a cold wind and low clouds poured over the top of the Topa Topas. Patches of snow were abundant along the shady north-facing slopes.
We finally topped out back on the same ridgeline as the day before; just a bit farther east. We had only a couple of moments to enjoy the view back down Timber Canyon before the clouds enveloped us and temps dropped to the low 30s.
Heading west along the ridgeline. We had a brief moment when the clouds lifted to enjoy the view over Bear Canyon. Somewhere down at the bottom of the canyon where it meets the Sespe is our campsite from the night before.
Racing back down the trail to the car in the late afternoon while shrouded in the fog. The trail is rocky and rutted and steadily descends almost the entire way. After a while, the quick pace, long miles and steady climbs and descents were starting to take a toll on our knees and feet.
After finally descending enough to get out the clouds, we rounded a corner in the trail and came upon this awesome sunset, just a mile or two shy of the trailhead and end of our trip. The scene was enough to at least temporarily dull the pain throughout my lower legs and feet.Apr 26, 2013 at 1:43 pm #1980816

I always enjoy your trip reports, especially the pictures.
These looked like great fun even with the problems like closed roads and no water.

Washington Post, The (Newspaper) - July 20, 1913, Washington, District Of Columbia REAL ESTATE CLASSIFIED ADS. WASHINGTON: SUNDAY, JULY 20, 1913. NEED OF NEW HOMES PROPERTY ON I STREET DESTINED TO BE CONVERTED TO BUSINESS. Apartment Problem Is Solved by Neighborhood Clubs. NEW YOBK SETS EXAMPLE Old Residence Sections Improved When Tenants Organize and Demand Mod- ern Dwellings in, Place of Ancient Blocks in North- west Depreciated. Neighborhood associations are being formed In New York upon lines and for purposes which probably could be fol- lowed advantageously by residents and property holders of certain sections of New Tork now has the Grammercy Neighborhood Association, the Greenwich Association, and the Chel- sea Neighborhood Association, all en- deavoring to Improve the sections of the city In which they are located. These sections are the oldest parts of the city, surrounded by business houses, and have for many years had no improvements which are now necessary for the wel- fare, health, and content of tenants. The most Important object of the as- Eoctatlon is the Improvement In the housing1 conditions. Washington, like New York tend all cities where the build- ing: activity changes from one section of the city to another, has many fine houses and buildings untenanted, which, wifh a proper care, could be made most desir- able for home purposes. Problem in Northwest. And of these sections of the city, the ftorthwest probably presents the greater" number of desirable rows of houses which a few years ago were the best residences of the city, but_which, through Che fickle change of economic conditions, hive been allowed to remain idle in many places, or In others to become oc- cupied by undesirable tenants, at a small rental. This has depreciated the value of the adjoining property, and, finally, of the entire blocks. In reference to this condition in New York, a condition though prob- ably not so serious, is duplicated In "Washington, a statement has been Issued by President Knowlton Durham and Sec- retary Arthur M. East, of the Chelsea] Association? as follows: Modern Homes "It is found that many families are Jnoving out of the district because they cannot find In It modern homes, and are unwilling to continua to live longer In the antiquated dwellings which are the rule in this neighborhood. There Is a large demand for modern living- quarters from people employed within walking distance of of work.

Many old-time residences have been some, extent to meet the demand, these alterations many times taking the form of throwing the upper'floors of the house Into a small apartment suite, and where this has been wisely done, providing running water and bathrooms, tenants.have been read- Uy found. But at best this is a-make- shift, and only otters accommodations to a limited number of persons desiring, to live there. Poorly Designed Remodeling. As example of poorly designed re- modeling is that of a large house in the IMstrict which has Been turned Into. about sfcc apartments. One of the apart- ments occupies a portion of two floors, the entrance to the apartment being from the-hall through a partition which does not reach to the ceiling, but which not only gives a view of a portion of the apartment from the stairs looking over the partition, but gives a'bad impression of cheap and temporary use. The room: which is to be used as a dining room Is large, and the -owner of the placed a bedroom In one corner, with partitions only about 7 feet high and with no outside window, f.the door and window in the bedroofft opefflng into tha dining rootu. And this apart- ment Is for the use of a' good class of tenants. "With the development of the outer sections of the city there should be a united effort to Improve the central sec- tions. In the central section there Is'a large demand for modest .apartments and dwellings which; are.modern.. Neigh- associations in Washington probably, could do much in wiping out certain undesirable sections of the city, which have become an eyesore owing'to lack of Improvements and also could in- terest capital to erect buildings, dwell- ings, and apartment, houses in the' cen-, tral portion of the city similar to those which are being rapjdly constructed be- yond Florida avenue. It is believed that there Is not-a ern apartment house, srftnoderate rates, below R street' arid west' of street which -is equipped with porches, an -improvement which Is-becoming more and more a great demand, by parents whp have small children. With the large number of citizens' associations In the District, some" constructive work along this line "would be productive of health and happiness to. many who are now living in undesirable and Incon- venient quarters anji also of a substan- tial steady income to thrifty investors.'

It sounds like a print driver problem. Try installing the print driver on the laptop, if you have the CD that came with the printer thats the easiest way.

Seven noble families fight for control of the mythical land of Westeros. Political and sexual intrigue abound. The primary families are the Stark, Lannister, and Baratheon families. Robert Baratheon, King of Westeros, asks his old friend Eddard Stark to serve as his chief advisor. Eddard, suspecting that his predecessor had been murdered, accepts so that he can investigate further. It turns out more than one family is plotting to take the throne. The Queen's family, the Lannisters, may be hatching an incestuous plot to take control. Across the sea, the last surviving members of the previously deposed ruling family, the Targaryens, are also plotting a return to power. The conflict between these families and others, including the Greyjoys, the Tullys, the Arryns, and the Tyrells, leads to war. Meanwhile, in the north, an ancient evil awakens. Amidst war and the political confusion, a brotherhood of misfits, The Night's Watch, is all that stands between the realms of men and the horrors beyond.

text: Abstract #3926: A Phase II Study of Tosedostat (TST) in Combination with Either Cytarabine or Decitabine in Newly Diagnosed Older Patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) or High-Risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS).The Phase 2 randomized, open-label trial enrolled patients 60 years of age or older with untreated AML or high-risk MDS to receive tosedostat 120 mg orally, once daily on days 1–21 with five days of either cytarabine 1 g/m 2/day IV or decitabine 20 mg/m 2/day IV delivered every 35 days. Patients received up to three cycles of therapy if they had at least stable disease following the initial course, and patients that achieved a CR/CRi were eligible to receive up to two additional cycles. The primary endpoint of the trial was to determine the CR rate and four-month survival. Secondary endpoints were to assess safety and tolerability of tosedostat with either cytarabine or decitabine, to estimate rates of disease-free survival and one-year overall survival. A total of 26 patients have been treated, with 13 receiving tosedostat/cytarabine and 13 receiving tosedostat/decitabine. Nineteen patients (73 percent) had AML and seven (27 percent) had high-risk MDS. The poster is available at www.celltherapeutics.com. About Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) and Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) Approximately 14,590 new cases of AML are expected to be diagnosed in the United States in 2013. 1 As of January 2008, an estimated 30,993 people were living with (or were in remission from) AML. 2 Although AML can occur at any age, adults aged 60 years and older are more likely to develop the disease than younger people. AML is a cancer characterized by the rapid growth of abnormal white blood cells that accumulate in the bone marrow and interfere with the production of normal blood cells. AML may develop from the progression of other diseases, such as MDS, a blood cancer that also affects the bone marrow leading to a decrease in circulating red blood cells. AML is the most common acute leukemia affecting adults, and its incidence increases with age. The symptoms of AML are caused by the replacement of normal bone marrow with leukemic cells, which causes a drop in red blood cells, platelets and normal white blood cells, leading to infections and bleeding. AML progresses rapidly and is typically fatal within weeks or months if left untreated. Although a substantial proportion of younger individuals who develop AML can be cured, AML in the elderly typically responds poorly to standard therapy with few complete remissions.

Plenty of options
With Cambodia's colourful history and tales of red rebels, kidnappings, landmines, corruption and dodgy roads, it's unsurprising that parents might think that, say, Brussels or the local petshop might be better options when planning a trip with their kids.
Yet Cambodia is child friendly, and a large number of parents are making the journey here with their children, and thoroughly enjoying it too. It's a lot cheaper than Disneyworld, that's for sure, and there really is plenty to keep kids entertained so you won't need to hear too many sweet strains of "Awwww, Mum!! Not another temple! Temples are stoopid."
Moreover, you're in a country where a devoted temporary babysitter is never more than a few yards away. Cambodians love kids, and if you're in the right restaurant and play your cards right, you'll easily find a waitress (provided she's not run off her feet, of course) who will take your toddler and make faces at them while you eat a meal in peace. This, obviously, is not to be expected or asked for. Maybe it's like karma: it'll happen if you've been good too.
With a huge thank you to Siem Reap's very own child survivors for all of their top tips, here are the highlights of some of the things that they do to keep their monst, err, oops, darlings' energy levels down to something manageable.
Horse-riding through paddy and villages, and down dusty, red-earth lanes is a great way to introduce kids to the Cambodian countryside, and run off some of that energy. The Happy Ranch caters to kids as young as young as six.
If getting into a saddle isn't quite their thing, try the Banteay Srey Butterfly Centre. Did you know that caterpillars are liquefied in their cocoons before re-forming as butterflies? Me neither until I went here. Not far from the Banteay Srei temple, the Butterfly Centre is a small, exquisite jungle garden just thronging with thousands of beautiful butterflies of every colour imaginable. Their aerial ballets are beautiful, and guides are on hand to provide additional information.
At Kbal Spean, near Banteay Srei, the first dedicated conservation centre in Cambodia, the Angkor Centre for Conservation of Biodiversity, is home to a range of rescued animals including palm civets, gibbons, leopard cats, and the highly eccentric, and endangered, pangolin. Daily tours are held at 13:00, for which early arrival is recommended.
Rock climbing at Krorma Yamato has proved very popular with locals' kids. A dedicated eight-metre climbing wall with all the equipment costs only $2 for half an hour or $4 for the whole day. At your own risk.
If you're on the prowl for kids' clothes, Shanti Shop on The Lane has just brought in a new selection of gorgeous and colourful clothes for ages 0 to 14. And if you forgot to bring toys or books for the kids, then Monument Books has a pretty good range of high quality, safe children's toys (Fisher Price and so on). They're beside the Old Market, looking on the river.
Highly reputed Lemongrass Spa has recently introduced a special Kiddie Khmer Massage, which is a 45 minute massage (without oil $6, with oil $9) that is aimed at children between the ages of two and 10. According to the manager, the massage usually sends the children off to sleep, leaving the parents free to enjoy a full 90 minute massage if they wish.
While many restaurants are kid-friendly, there are a few standouts. Tangram Garden is a new and lovely garden restaurant with a wide range of western and Khmer dishes. They have a kids play area in the garden, which is excellent for distracting the little angels while you catch up on your reading.
Kanell is a really beautiful, exotic garden restaurant with a delicious menu of French and Khmer dishes. At the back of the garden, there is a free to use small pool which is very popular with locals with kids. There is also a special poolside menu offering yummy burgers and snacks. Towels are provided.
In the centre of town, Le Grand Café is a lovely old colonial style building just opposite the Old Market. Upstairs, there is a small play area especially for kids on the right hand side. Here you can keep an eye on them while enjoying a coffee and watching the crowds.

The American Chemistry Council (ACC), Washington, D.C., has announced the three winners of its Innovation in Plastics Recycling awards. KW Plastics, Safeplay Systems and Sony Electronics Inc. were recognized for developing innovative processes and products using post-consumer recycled plastics.
Steve Russell, vice president of plastics for ACC, says, "Thanks to the creative advancements brought about by these recyclers and others like them, we are able to keep more valuable plastics out of landfills than ever before. Used plastics are too valuable to waste and can be recycled to make high-quality, innovative products, such as furniture, car parts, home building products, fashion and packaging."
The ACC recognized KW Plastics, Troy, Ala., for its approaches to recycling post-consumer polypropylene (PP) packaging. Despite difficulties experienced by many reclaimers in handling PP, KW Plastics has developed processes, specifications and equipment to allow the processing of PP yogurt cups, butter tubs, ketchup bottles, juice boxes and corrugated yard signs as part of an integrated processing system.
In addition, KW Plastics was recognized as the first domestic reprocessor to collect and recycle woven and nonwoven flexible PP. The company currently has the capacity to reprocess 450 million pounds of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and 300 million pounds of PP annually.
"As the world's largest plastics recycler, KW Plastics has often been the leader in developing new markets and technologies to divert plastics from the landfill while creating jobs and revenue for the domestic economy," says Stephanie Baker, director of market development for KW Plastics' recycling division. "The innovations we have implemented, together with cooperative efforts with our partners and suppliers, are making plastics recycling easier than ever before."
Safeplay Systems, based in Marietta, Ga., won for EcoPlay, its line of playground equipment for schools and parks made from a minimum of 95 percent post-consumer recycled HDPE. Safeplay has its own recycling program and accepts all its products for recycling at the end of their useful lives.
Eric Torrey, director of marketing for Safeplay Systems, says, "We are proud of our high-performance polypropylene structures that don't splinter, crack, swell or rust and are virtually maintenance free. But more than that, environmental stewardship is an integral part of Safeplay Systems' business, and we are honored to be recognized for our innovations in plastics recycling."
Based in San Diego, Sony Electronics Inc. won for its development of SoRPlas, a material made from 99 percent recycled polycarbonate (PC) that is used in the housings of some of Sony's popular consumer products, particularly in high-end cameras. To make SoRPlas, Sony uses 50 percent post-industrial scrap from optical disc manufacturing and 50 percent post-consumer recycled plastics from end-of-life products, containers and other items. In total, the Sony Group uses more than 17,000 tons of recycled plastics per year, including SoRPlas, in various products.
"Sony is dedicated to protecting and improving the environment in all parts of our business," says Doug Smith, director of corporate environmental affairs for Sony Electronics Inc. "We are excited to be recognized for developing SoRPlas, a durable resin made from recycled polycarbonate that helps to conserve resources and reduce emissions in the manufacturing process and we are committed to expanding the use of recycled plastics in our products as research continues."

"I don't know why he blamed my tape out of all of them out there," says Master P, whose CD cover for 99 Ways to Die features him with a gun in each hand. "Look at what Tupac or Spice 1 say. I feel bad that he was misled by my lyrics. Even if my songs sound negative at first, they always turn into a positive message by the end." If it seems odd for a "rapper" to scapegoat the genre for a crime spree, it comes as no surprise that anti-rap activists are already capitalizing on this story, which was picked up by wire services across the country.
Hotel California
On June 24, the Brave New World is no more. Things have been shaky these past two years for the Western Addition dive, which once packed 'em in for acts like Steel Pole Bathtub, Tsunami, and Mecca Normal. Now rumor has it that none other than former Eagle Don Henley bought the bar, with plans to invest over $1 million to remake it into a tony jazz club. Sources say that the "boy of summer" asserted ownership by plugging some of his CDs into the Butthole Surfers-heavy jukebox. Now what was that business about a Deadhead sticker on a Cadillac?
Band Search
Conan O'Brien's antics may leave many of us stone-faced, but Late Night does get some impressive musical guests. So local groups may be interested in the 10th Annual College Band Search (actually, it's the second): Winners get a shot at performing on the show and the chance to record one song for a huH magazine compilation. Get a copy of the rules from PO Box 1616, Bensenville, IL 60106-8616. ... As for you postgrad geezers, bands itching to get their music out beyond the bay should contact Luminous Flux Records. The New York distribution group is seeking independents with releases on any format for inclusion in its Summer '95 catalog, which will be promoted to college radio stations, stores, and the music press. Mail off bios and photos by June 30 to: PO Box 419, Glenwood Landing, NY 11547. Call (516) 674-3229.

Smaller IT companies based in Indore are not worried about IT biggies such as Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) and Infosys setting up shop in the city. While skilled manpower shortage remains an issue, the IT companies feel that TCS and Infosys will attract more talent to Indore.
"It's a welcome move as it will attract more IT professionals to Indore," feels Infobeans CEO Siddharth Sethi. Other IT companies such as Impetus and Cybertech share similar view.
One major reason why existing IT companies don't fear exodus of employees is that salary structure in smaller IT companies is much better than what the IT majors pay.
While IT majors have a bigger brand value, the salaries are typically about 30% lower. Entry level salary in local IT companies is in the region of Rs 4.5 to 5.5 lakh per annum while that in TCS or Infosys is in the region of Rs 3.5 lakhs.
Both TCS and Infosys have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the state government for setting up their development centre in Indore. Infosys has signed a MoU with the state government for a project spread over 130 acres on the super corridor. Tata Consultancy Service (TCS), on the other hand, plans to set up a development centre on 100 acres. While Infosys proposes to invest Rs 450 crore, TCS has signed a MoU worth Rs 410 crore during the recently concluded global investors meet.
The district administration has also handed over 108 acres of government-owned land at Simhasa village to the IT department, which will encourage investments by mid-sized players in the information technology sector.
The land is likely to be allotted to smaller IT firms that have been seeking government land. In fact, out of 32 MoUs signed during the recently concluded global investors meet, 28 MoUs were signed with mid-sized and small IT companies.

A Kiss on The Cheek
Poem by: maximilliano
Status: Finished
Genre: Memoir
A kiss on the cheek?
A kiss on the cheek? I think not.
The way you affect me, a miss is on the cards.
The nearness of your eyes to cheek might draw me to kiss one of those orbs.
To sip of that bright shine that glows, so much, when they look my way.
A kiss on the cheek? I think not.
A kiss on the cheek? I think not.
The closeness of your ears to either of those planes; should I hold your head, ever so gently between my hands; purely to control the movement of my mouth towards your cheek. A contact between my lips and one of those shells is a distinct possibility. My mouth might even conspire with tongue and teeth to allow a slight moistening and nipping to happen.
A kiss on the cheek? I think not.
A kiss on the cheek? I think not.
From plane of cheek to gracious neck is much too short a distance to ever resist the temptation to gently stoke with lips and such and to nuzzle softly for a while and smile.
A kiss on the cheek? I think not.
A kiss on the cheek? I think not.
Even were I to hold you in my arms; solely to steady my aim, and also be distracted by your other charms: of beautiful form, of intriguing scent, of velvet touch and silken shape, the attraction of your smiling rosebud mouth, would draw me to take a draught of that wondrous nectar there.
A kiss on the cheek? I think not.

Coming into Sunday's matchup with Chivas USA, FC Dallas was in desperate needof a win to keep up with the Vancouver Whitecaps. That win did not come, as Dallas dropped a pivotal two points, in a match that Chivas USA dominated at home. FC Dallas now sits four points back of Vancouver with two matches left to play.
When Chivas USA plays, it is usually keeper Dan Kennedy who is making the most spectacular plays throughout the night. However, it was the keeper on the other side, Kevin Hartman, making the spectacular saves tonight. Despite making seven saves, it wasn't enough to keep the Goats out of the net, as Chivas USA's Jorge Villafaña scored his first goal on the year to even up the match at the eventual final score of 1-1.
A Dallas defense that started the match without stalwart George John looked lost throughout the match, struggling with a Chivas offense that had not scored since a 2-1 loss against Seattle on September 8th. That 600 minute scoreless streak was the second-longest streak in MLS history.
Dallas was unable to capitalize on an early lead, thanks to a Blas Perez tap-in during the eigth minute. From there, David Ferreira and Perez were never able to impact the game, as Chivas held possession throughout the second half, along with Ferreira struggling with an injury late in the match. The offense was also out of sync due to missing Brek Shea, who did not even make the trip to Los Angeles due to an injury suffered last week at San Jose.
With their playoff hopes fading, Dallas will now travel to CenturyLink Field to take on the surging Seattle Sounders on Sunday, October 21st. Chivas USA, meanwhile, will play their home finale at Home Depot Center against the Colorado Rapids on Saturday the 20th. Dallas and Chivas will conclude their seasons against each other in the season finale for both in Dallas on October 28th.
Here are the match highlights:
What are your thoughts on the match? Does this all but end FC Dallas's playoff hopes? Does the draw signal some optimism for Chivas USA going into the offseason?
Share your thoughts below.
Considering Portland is winless on the road, you can stick a fork in FCD.
"Crushed" is definitely how FC Dallas's play on the field today left their fans feeling. They played with uncharacteristic apathy.
As an FCD fan, I'm pretty disgusted. FCD took their lead into the 2nd half, bunkered down, and just tried to weather the shooting-practice storm. Even as bad as Chivas is, they were likely score in those circumstances. It's the same thing they did against San Jose, with the same result.
Take the Chicago-NYRB game by contrast. Chicago got up a goal and kept playing and possessing. Even up 2-0, they were high-pressing and forcing turnovers in the New York half. There was no way New York was coming back and they got progressively more frustrated and demoralized.
If Schellas Hyndman had his team play over the last two weeks the way Frank Klopas had his team play yeaterday, Dallas would all but have locked up a playoff spot.
Cmon man. Kevin Hartman is known for his shot stopping ability. His ability to make the spectacular save. That's his best quality…

Robot racing demolition derby anyone? this is a story set in 2102 in the future, where the boring lot sit up top, and the thrill seekers race and rip each other to pieces for money and the championship title. what more could a kid want? this is a collab; would love for anyone to join!
"She's joking isn't she?"
"Oh you would think so Felix, you would think so."
"But... it's a hunk of junk!"
Grey snickered. Now that was an understatement. With bullet holes in the headlights, duct tape covering the split metal and corrugated iron, and the driver's wheel replaced with what closely resembled a pink icing and sprinkled doughnut, the four wheel drive was very much past it's due by date. Not to mention it smelled like old people.
Really old people.
"Five hundred GP she wants, and I reckon that's the best we'll get."
"Did she offer five hundred? That's a scam that is!" Felix hissed.
Grey sighed, "Mate, I know you're keen to get your hands on a brand new Spockbot, but we don't have that kind of dosh to spend. And with this 2065 grind model, we can finally get our racing business up and running. And at five hundred, it's a bloody steal. At least it has four wheels, that's a lot to ask for."
Felix groaned "The Spockbot doesn't need wheels, it hovers, like, off the ground n' stuff."
"And it also costs eight thousand GP."
Felix sighed in frustration. But Grey gave him a comforting punch in the shoulder that would surely bruise.
"Well, put it this way, when we grease it up in our own image, it'll run like a beaut, and beat down a Spockbot with ease, trust me."
Felix stared at the grind for a brief moment, and then turned back to Grey with a raised brow, his face looking unmoved.
"That's a lot you be askin' of me Grey; to trust you and all."
Grey gave Felix his infamous smirks, and turned his head round his shoulder and hollered at Brenda, the junk shop owner. "We're taken this one!"
Felix's face immediately faltered, and mouth opening and shutting, but finding no words to counter with.
Despite her barrel shape, Brenda waddled at surprising speed to the cluttered counter, wearing a greased with oil apron and an olive grey undershirt that was a little too big for her, reaching to her knee high ugg boots.
"So you've made up yeh mind have ya, Grey?" she said, raising the green gem goggles to rest in her curly grey hair. "Glad to be getting rid of the eyesore myself, I'm sure you can find a good use for it."
"You won't miss it." He grinned, as he placed his GP chip into the output.
"But...what...I...whoa..." the GP unit reading three thousand GP's reduced down to two thousand five hundred with a ping.
"Spit it out Felix."
"We didn't agree to this purchase! As I look back, I'm pretty certain I didn't have a say to this!"
"You did have a say Felix, it's just It didn't matter."
Felix continued to splatter untranslatable dribble, while Brenda finished the print out of the receipt from the printer, which slow printing produced a high pitch teeth grinding screech that would disturb the pits of heaven. Brenda flatted out the grime-incrusted print out and stomped down a seal of...approval, wet with ink. Unbeknownst to Brenda, Felix stared in both disgust and fascination at how Brenda's arm fat giggled like jelly at the swift movements. With a sniffle and an arm wipe from the nose, she handed the receipt to Grey, who folded it and put in his pocket for safe keeping.
"You have a trailer, boys?" She asked with curiosity.
Felix snickered, snapped back to reality "Course we don't! We-"
"Have arms! We're draggin' it home." Grey said happily.
"Grey! Bloody hell!-
"Trailers cost GP." Grey quickly injected.
"Your face costs GP..." he mumbled, crossing his arms over his vest, clearly showing his annoyance. Grey just gave him a confusing look.
"What are we gonna latch it to, doofus? We didn't come with a form of transport."
Felix raised a finger knowingly, but then took Greys words into consideration, and pouted his lips in thought. Grey ignored him, and proceeded to get a good hold onto the Grind by its front bumper.
Felix snapped his fingered as he gained a thought "Hey! We could get a hover donkey! They're always handy! Did you think of that, doofus?" Felix commented as soon as he got beside Grey, feeling rather pleased with his response.
"GP..." He reminded.
Grey and Felix with both a hold on the front bumper proceeded to pull the three metre land driver out of the back door of the garage, finding it both difficult and irritating.
With a couple of pushes they had brought the grind onto the street of Buckle nut City; the city of buckles...and nuts. Set in 2102, a city separated and grouped between the something's, and the nothings; and if you were nothing, then what were ya? For those people who don't want to be neither, they find a more...fulfilling role in the city.
And that's where these fellah's came in. Like many young kids their age, they needed entertainment. Where game boys and anime cartoons would never satisfy the curious child, raw action would suffice. Rebelling from conformist society, the demolition derby racing was born. And like any bored child would partake, there were many contestants. And many dreamers.
Like all other kids in Bucklenut, it was the school holidays, and Grey and Felix had been saving for the past year now, wanting to get into the Demo competition for the term. Sure they had to a couple of jobs, weird jobs that are not necessary to mention. But they eventually got the dosh they needed, and still have some left over to start up shop. From customizing to signing participation papers, the money was needed.
But with blood and elbow grease (as well as real grease), they managed to get it as far as a block away from the shop before Felix suddenly let go of the Grind with a thud, hugging his fingers under his armpits and jumping up and down, wincing at the pain.
"What's wrong now bud?" Grey asked, rolling his eyes.
"It hurts mate! It bloody hurts. I told ya we needed the hover donkey, it saves me a severed finger!"
"Quit yer whining'." He snickered.
"You should pay more attention to your boyfriend, Grey. Sounds like he needs a cuddle."
Grey turned around and came face to face with a familiar gang, led by an abomination to humanity.
One of my first Collab stories, and im real excited on how its gonna turn out. Partisipants welcome! :D

While reading this, it may be a good idea to listen to Room of Angel by Silent Hill was it...--;; I forgot their name. But, it's a song that fits the...'mood'...Enjoy.
He had never protected anyone other than himself, and just barely a year ago, had taken a dying soul under his wing and shielded her from hurt. He didn't think why he'd done it, but he suspected a reason why he had. Memories of the past resurfaced as he stared down at a soft, naked pale shoulder, his mouth against a slim neck decorated with dark blue colored hair.
She'd pleaded with him.
A small band of assassins, four of them, had cornered her and she was bleeding from her shoulder, blood dribbling out of her mouth and she was panting out of over exertion and fear. He could smell the terror and sweat and blood on her. He'd crossed their path merely because he'd heard sounds of fighting going on and was curious. He remembered her from the Chuunin exams when her family member had seemed bent on killing her; it had been the same opalescent eyes with the same bloodline glare that made the veins in her temples pulse almost terrifyingly.
The assassins, he duly noted had many sore spots, some shifting due to aches and one looked like his left arm was completely useless, hanging lifeless.
Her eyes, full of fear had turned to him and widened a little more, terror reaching to her eyes' depths at the mere sight of him. He knew what she was thinking, could smell it on her, see it on her face, I'm surrounded by devils and demons…
Which was the lesser of two evils?
Sabaku no Gaara, terror of the sands, nightmare of all dreams and dream of all nightmares, or a bunch of nameless clingy death imps? Her eyes turned back to the men and he could've smirked, but his eyes only widened a fraction when her hands clenched and she coughed out blood between her lips.
Tch. He should've known; she knew what exactly he was capable of from the exams, his constant need for blood and thrill of tore flesh and pained screams.
She whimpered and he heard it. He bet she had a pleasant and quiet voice, unlike his own rough and commanding one.
Opal eyes that had angry red bloodshot eyes turned to him again, "P-please, h-h-help…"
Gaara's eyes flew wide open, grey green irises shrinking. She was asking for his help? His help? When had he been considered the lesser of two evils? Ever? When…had anyone ever turned to him with a pleading eye other than those he killed, begging for mercy of a different kind than the weakling before him was asking for?
Since when was he ever considered something other than a killer?
"Please!" it was a soft and dying cry; blood dripped from her lips and flowed from her shoulder. He studied her slight form and the assassins, knowing full well that this was Gaara made no sudden moves, until he was gone at least stayed still for the time being. She was small, her body tiny and frail looking, yet took a brutal beating, bruises, cuts and several burns covered her. Her eyes were opal and almost warm looking; soft and slowly dying, like her body and yet contradicting, to the harsh glare that gave an air of never ending persistence against the odds like her soul.
He stopped analyzing her and his eyes stayed on her own eyes, Byakugan having faded due to exhaustion. He liked opal.
Sand seeped out of the gourd and in a matter of moments, covered the screams of the horrified assassins, muffling the sounds of bones breaking and being crushed. Shukaku laughed harshly and drank their blood greedily as it seeped into the sand. He was strangely silent when Gaara threw the unconscious girl over his shoulder and walked to the nearest hospital.
Her wounds had been treated to and he towered over her petite frame, now looking frailer in a hospital bed. Her breathing was calm as she slept; she saw him enter the room earlier and gave him a weak and awkward smile while he only slouched against the wall opposite of her, staring at the opal eyes. She poked her finger together and struggled to strike a conversation and only came up with, "I…erg...um…uh…I…arg…uh…"
"I make you nervous." It wasn't a question or a command, merely a blank statement of the obvious, hoping to make her shut up or more at ease; whichever. Her head bobbed hesitantly and the opal dodged away. "Look at the person you're talking to, it's a sign of disrespect when you do that. Respect the person who saved your life, Hyuuga." He forgot her name and wanted her opal eyes exposed to him.
She made a small gasp and looked at him in the eye, gulping and instead her gaze when to his shoulder. "T-th-thank y-you, f-f-f-for saving my life, Gaara-san."
"Don't call me that, call me Gaara, I hate additions to my name when one is not familiar with me."
"Ah! So so-sorry!"
He stared and they lapsed into silence, Hinata's eyelids would twitch as she was tired due to heavy painkillers till she finally slumped to one side, neck in an awkward angle that would hurt when she'd awaken. The sand poured out slowly and swamped over the length of her body, sand pulling at her legs till she was lying down once more, sand covering her neck and Shukaku chuckled as he gave a small squeeze, the girl gave a short gasp, before the raccoon demon relinquished his grip a little from a lash from Gaara. The sand rotated her neck into a more comfortable position.
Sand creeped back into the gourd and stirred once in a while.
Gaara hadn't realized how many steps he'd taken towards her till he'd been standing over her ominously, the place where he now stood.
A calloused finger that had been painted with blood so many times before trailed down so softly it wasn't noticeable the side of her face, over the smooth plane of her cheek, across her jaw, down her neck and stopped at her collarbone. He brushed a thumb over the juts of bone. She was soft.
He leaned down at little, her mouth was parted slightly and breath escaped through pale pink. He leaned till his nose was nearly touching her mouth and sniffed. Strawberries and honey, her breath smelled of sweet earthy things with tinges of rain laced within. He sniffed again, inhaling deeply this time. His ear twitched and he looked up, not moving from his place over Hinata when a nurse clad in white opened the door but hadn't entered the room.
"Oh-I-I…erm…I'll come back later-" the sand shut the door silently.
He could still smell strawberries and honey, when he'd been a child, out of hospitality, Temari had given him a tart strawberry covered in honey. His eyes had widened and she'd giggled when he devoured the entire thing quickly, asking for more. "Gaara, strawberries need to be eaten slowly, like this," she took a small bite, allowing the honey to dribble the entire strawberry, turning it. "It tastes better."
He sniffed again and his nose moved, his lips opened and his tongue slithered out, past her own lips and tasted her quickly and withdrew before she could notice. His tongue moved against his teeth. She tasted like sour strawberries balanced out with sweetened honey. Her eyes moved beneath her eyelids rapidly in a nameless dream. He watched her a little longer, till the sun was rising again, barely a hint of grey sunshine. He turned away from her.
He disappeared in grains of sand out her open window. A sand hand reached behind and shut the window.
It had been two weeks since the incident at the hospital and she now stood in front of him all healed and better with a basket that smelled strongly of good cooking. "I-I can't r-r-really pay you back, s-so I m-made you a meal," she finished with a red flush over her cheeks. She held the basket out to him, head ducked down and he stared at the cloth covered basket.
He took it from her fingers and peeked in; the raccoon in him making natural curiosity resurface. Rice balls with pickled plum, sweet rice cakes, shut container of sake, raw salmon wrapped in seaweed with fermented lima beans and fried sweet potatoes. His nose was absently twitching and he glowered at Hinata briefly when she giggled.
"Eat with me." It wasn't a request, and not really a demand, had he demanded it from her she would've been scared a fluttered off like a frightened doe, and requesting was just ridiculous, it more of an offer; yes or no.
He walked away and she followed his sure steps, eyes staring at his broad back and cracked sand gourd.
The next day, it was rumored, whisper, whisper, gossip, having heard it from Ino who'd seen Gaara walking next to the girl and had heard from a nurse she knew he had watched over her, that Gaara had something for the Hyuuga girl and no one but Naruto believed her, though he was happy, big smile and all.
Three months after they had become something of friends, Gaara had gotten a headache.
He winced away from the light and clutched his head desperately, Shukaku howling at the blood spilled on the floor of the house that contained the corpses of the rogue Konoha nin he had assassinated. Gaara's eyes rolled up and he trembled as things began to blur and he couldn't see properly.
Everything pitched into a swirl of dark and cold and numb things.
When Gaara finally did come to, it was because there was a gentle hand pressed to his forehead, warmth coming from it, and fingers through his hair soothingly he noticed he was lying on something soft. His eyes opened to glare at who he knew was the Hyuuga girl. She gasped and stuttered in embarrassment. He was eye level with her stomach-she had lied him on her lap.
She smelled like lavender and lilac. He'd blacked out and he didn't remember what happened and just came out of the Forced Sleep jutsu. He noticed where he was, a hospital and decided not to ask if the reason why they were like this was because they had told her to stay with him to calm and pacify him.
They stayed like that and neither moved and after a while her fingers went through his tangled and messy hair, nails scraping gently at his scalp.
From across the room, his sand stirred and chuckled.
'Look who I brought you to, Gaara? She's even holding you…Like her don't you…Too bad…she has feelings for another, ne…?'
Gaara's eyes narrowed and slid up to meet her own warm, opal ones and she managed a gentle smile for him. For him. She was smiling for him.
When Konoha had officially taken him in from Suna, he had nowhere to stay, and no money. Hinata offered though, through blushes that made her look like a tomato and stutters that rendered her incapable of a real sentence, that he could stay with her, and so he did.
He found that she got up early and made breakfast for two. He never ate his half though and she said nothing, but always set a plate for him for two weeks till he finally sat across her and ate.
Five weeks with living with her, she was quiet and things were unusual between them and he glowered at anyone near her, in what, some of her friends whispered amongst themselves that that would be seen as possessiveness. Naruto waved it off and said Gaara glared at everyone breathing-and some not breathing. Sakura and Ino called him a dumbass.
Gaara stood over her sleeping form, bent to the point his nose was over her lips and he inhaled deeply and exhaled against her face.
Strawberries and honey and sweet earthy things sprinkled with rain. He wondered if anyone had ever tasted that from her, and wondered if she would name them so he could be sure that they, along with that memory would cease to exist.
He inhaled again.
It had been an accident on his part, truly. Walking through the forest to hunt down a 'runaway' Hinata, he came to a small lake with a waterfall and he saw her.
She'd been naked and moved over the water like a dancer, sprinkles of water clung to her hair and skin and the moon shined down on her. She was doing her training on water for flexibilty and speed improving.
Gaara never moved nor made a sound and only stared, eyes wide with Shukaku laughing hoarsely and his fingers occasionally twitching and he heard a muffled gasp of a male. Behind bushes not far from his position in the trees. Hinata flinched and covered herself, running behind the waterfall not far from her clothes.
Sand crept to the two adolescent men, who were gawking stupidly and had begun to taunt her. It covered their mouths first and Gaara picked up her clothing and walked near the waterfall, and dropped the clothes there before turning to walk away.
The sand was sure to muffle any sounds made from the men to near silence as it killed them slowly.
She never mentioned what happened at the waterfall and he didn't care to mention it, but she was grateful for she bought him a large jug of sake, specifically for him.
He stood over her that night, nose nearly against his lips again and he inhaled deeply.
His tongue went past his lips and then her own just to sneak a taste. Tart and sweet. He liked that. He moved away quickly and sniffed her breath again. The sand went around her waist and brushed beneath her breasts almost tenderly before it squeezed harshly for a moment, making the young woman gasp in pain and surprise, and arch up to Gaara, who moved away a little just enough to prevent contact.
His eyes were wide and Shukaku gentled his grip on her, making her go back down quietly, only with a small frown on her eyebrows. He wanted to see her do that again. It wasn't her pain, but merely that it sounded and looked like something else, more carnal.
Shukaku tightened his grip once more and she rose up, lips parted in a pained gasp.
Gaara was grinning and he bent to sniff her breath again all while Shukaku laughed and he leaked back to gourd.
Her grip on his arm didn't loosen and only constricted tighter when they moved through the crowd. Gaara didn't move for anyone and they gave him a reasonable berth, Hinata on the other hand was used to being pushed and shoved in crowds and so clung to Gaara like some sort of parasite so as to not get pushed and shoved.
He didn't put an arm around her shoulder, but pulled her closer with an hand on her hip and kept her close as they made their way to the market.
People of the market stared and Sakura and Ino, who were checking for vegetables and looking at fanciful dresses, saw them, Hinata clinging to Gaara, and Gaara with an arm on her hip, almost shielding her protectively with his tall and broad form.
They, like many other people gaped openly.
They traveled like that comfortably now, Gaara noticed as he trailed fingers over Hinata naked spine. It was only natural he supposed that in a relationship they were to act like this.
Perhaps though, she shouldn't fear him coming home covered in blood not his own when she faces difficulty from people; sexual harassment being one of them. Perhaps though, her friends shouldn't eye him warily and fear to hug her out of his possessive and protective wrath. And perhaps he shouldn't absolutely fear her running from him, though he didn't stalk her every movement and didn't limit her to just spending time with him. Perhaps he should be able to trust other people to care for her a little more though.
His nose went over her mouth and sniffed her breath.
Tart strawberries and sweetened honey and sweet earthy things with freshly fallen rain.
His hand covered a cold breast and from the warmth of his hand, goose skin rose.
He sighed against her back and tucked her to him.
From across the room, sand from his gourd laughed hoarsely.
Fin. Review, leave meh lurve! X)

Get dirty, have fun and grow more food with great gardening tips from real-life gardeners.
DIY Seed Starter Pots
It might be the middle of the summer, but you should start thinking about getting your fall garden ready.
If you don't have much space, to plant everything outdoors, then you can certainly start your seeds indoors.
Here are some DIY seed starter pots that you can make with items you have lying around your house.
What makes these great is that you can use them year after year.
To make them, you line the container with some newspaper, then add your soil and seeds. When the seedling is ready to be put into your garden, you plant the entire carton. It will lessen the shock for the plant.
Toilet Paper and Paper Towel Rolls
The benefits of using toilet paper rolls are that they are free and that they too can be put directly into the soil. The cardboard will eventually biodegrade into the soil.
This is another method that won't cost you anything and the newspaper will biodegrade into your garden.

I'd guess at about $600, maybe less. You don't mean the camshaft, but rather the cam seals and crank seal.
Timing Belt is around 20 to 30 dollars and labour wise in the labour guide 3 hr job.

Had my timing belt replaced last year, which included the water pump and at the local Honda Dealership cost around $650
