Review: Asa Moto duo Oliver Geerts and Gilles Noe impressed with last year's debut EP, the double A-side synth-pop delight that was "Stay Awake/Wanowan Efem". This follow-up for DeeWee, co-produced by label founders (and Soul Wax members) David and Stephen Dewaele, is every bit as impressive, even if its four tracks draw on a much wider palette of influences. Opener "System Naturae" wraps sharp, rave type stabs around a jaunty drum machine groove, deep melody flourishes and warped analogue bass, while "Make Me Prada" is an exercise in alien funk/ambient/synth-pop fusion. On the flip you'll find the bleep-laden analogue house thrust of "Athina", while closer "Syriacid" is a sweaty jog through acid-fired deep house pastures with wayward pop overtones.… Read more

Review: Lemmy Ashton made quite a splash with his first outing on his own TNC label last year, and now he's back to follow up with another salvo of premium heaters geared towards disco-friendly dancers. There's a chunky, looped up quality to "Silver Suitcase" with its insistent bass lick and slamming drums, but there's equal space for soul thanks to the string-loaded sample hook. By way of contrast "Lunaire" fires up the acid flare and heads straight into a babbling brook of 303-related goodness. "Amsterdam" rounds the EP off on a stomp, whipping up the kind of bombastic disco drama that would get Studio 54 moving were it in action today.… Read more

Review: Brassica is a trusted staple in the field of outboard house and techno, from time served on labels as esteemed as Dissident and Civil Music through to more recent outings on Feel My Bicep and others. Here The UK producer has been snapped up by Vivod for four tracks of deep analogue house and electro to warm the cockles a treat. "Coco Diaz" is a tightly wound jam that hinges on a broken beat, while "Splash" opens out into a blissful melancholic reverie. "Nothing To Say" amps up the sleaze and the acid a treat before "Blue Function" heads into more trippy soundtrack territory.… Read more

Review: Romanian imprint Why So Seris have previously served up great work by homegrown heroes such as Nu Zau, Lumieux, Sublee and Lizz so it is quite a surprise that Irishman Derek Carr makes his mark on Why So Series 004. Known by the label as a prolific and outstanding producer when it comes to dancefloor oriented techno and tech house influenced tracks, they are more than happy to present Derek's Liquid industries EP. Starting off with the loopy and hypnotic deep house of "Theta" he then gets stuck into some vintage hi-tech soul on the energetic Solar Storm". On the flip, "Sub System 7" follows in suit channelling the vibe of greats like Aril Brikha while "Exodus II" gives you your fix of sunny swing fuelled tech house in the vein of iO Mulen or Zendid.… Read more

Review: Sample-based, hip-hop influenced house label Ele returns with a second missive. This time round, there's a trio of artists at the controls, namely Manchester man Contours, GAMM and Local Talk regular Sameed, and the previously unheard Replete. The latter's "Legislate", a loose, languid, jazz-flecked chunk of sunshine deep house warmth featuring the suave vocals of Bini, is arguably the EP's standout moment - though it is pushed all the way by the crunchy drums, meandering electric piano solos and head-in-the-clouds dustiness of Sameed's "Someone Like U". The breezy, synth-heavy Balearic house breeziness of Contours' "Night Shift" and the drowsy, cut-up house thrust of "Rush", created by a producer who wishes to remain nameless, complete a fine package.… Read more

Review: Helpfully, there's little information about the mysterious artist - or artists - behind this first, four-track missive on the Decent International imprint. Musically, though, there's much to admire - not least the anonymous producer's penchant for combining Ugandan, Liberian and Ghanaian percussion with vintage drum machine hits and humid electronics. While there are some more purist offerings - see the looped indigenous samples, trademark guitars and fluid percussion of "Leaving You", and horn-heavy, vocal rich "When Koaa" - it's the more adventurous offerings that really hit the spot. Both "Uganda Futura 1" and "Uganda Futura 2" are delightfully out-there, pairing original African rhythms with the far-sighted electronics of Motor City techno - it's just a shame they both last no longer than 2 and a half minutes.… Read more

Review: Mosaic continues its fruitful split series with three producers that fit into the mould of Steve O'Sullivan's label perfectly. Dean Decosta comes on restrained and refined on "Recon", taking a laid back approach with gravelly dub techno chords billowing over a cool-headed house beat. Bobby O'Donnell gets even smoother as his own take on deepest house uses gently undulating keys to impart a meditative vibe anyone can get lost in. Sean Dixon then heads further out with some spacey chords that reverberate and chime around a minimalist beat for a true head tripper of a track.… Read more

These tributes to the early days of techno and acid house emanate through the static hum of vintage machines and the dense hiss of tape saturation on this romantically futuristic concept album which you could imagine playing while Blade Runner shows in the background.

Review: District of Columbia-based deep house imprint Better Listen has barely put a foot wrong since launching late last year. Predictably, their latest missive, which comes courtesy of rising star Dorsi Plantar, is another beauty. Title track "Everlast" opens proceedings via jazzy, jammed-out pino riffs, dewy-eyed electronic flourishes and dusty deep house beats, before "You're Solid as Fuck" re-focuses attention on a chopped-and-looped deep house/jazz-funk fusion. Flip to the B-side for the grandiose orchestration of disco-house pumper "Fool's Gold" and the near-Balearic sweetness of sun-soaked chunky house closer "Babesonite", which comes on like a disco-house enthusiast's tribute to Pepe Bradock's "Deep Burnt".… Read more

Review: Tomoki Tamura and Tuccillo continue their partnership on this self-titled label that has already reached its sixth installment in just two years. The vibes are as wide-ranging and addictive as ever, providing all manner of housey delights for spinners to get their fingers busy with. "Funky Truck" is certainly the lead track on the EP in every way, holding down an impeccable shuffle and working a cool and deadly bassline towards a memorable lead line for a true slice of dancefloor alchemy. "Form Of Life" takes a more dreamy approach with its hazy chord stabs and gently rolling beat, and then "Verdict" rounds the EP off with a more tech-house minded jam to get shoulders shaking aplenty.… Read more

Review: While establishing the Fit Sound imprint affiliated with the Detroit distro outlet of the same name , Aaron 'Fit' Siegel has been careful not to load the imprint with too many of his own productions, choosing instead to deliver material from Marcellus Pittman, Anthony 'Shake' Shakir, MGUN and Dungeon Acid. Here he makes a welcome return with two tracks of melodious, atmospheric, Motor City deepness. "Carmine" is particularly alluring, with twinkling melodies winding their way around yearning pads, bittersweet chords and shuffling, cymbal-heavy percussion. "First Found" is a little more forthright, with off-key pianos and scattergun electronics riding a tougher, locked-in groove.… Read more

Review: Che "Chesus" Ahmed dons the now familiar Ear Jeffers alias and returns to Ten Thousand Yen for the first time since 2016's well-received Gloria EP. A-side "Mysteries" is something of a spacey, synth-laden affair, with fuzzy analogue synth lines and fizzing electronics clustering around a restless, densely layered house groove. If Kraftwerk made deep house, it would probably sound like this. Ahmed takes a different approach on the flip, successfully peppering a chunky, redlined rhythm track with jazzy Rhodes motifs, jazz-funk flourishes and a cleverly manipulated vocal sample. Loose and languid but also tough as teak, it's arguably the more ear catching of the two tracks.… Read more

Review: If the melodious, deep and dreamy breakbeat/analogue house fusions showcased on Guide To Action sound like the work of noted Canadian producer Project Pablo, it's with good reason. He co-produced the EP alongside old friend Francis Latreille, jamming out melodies, beats and chord progressions with the help of an MPC, Moog Source, and a bunch of old synthesizers. The result is an EP of rare positivity. Check, for example, the loved-up goodness of "Crusade Mix", the Raze-does-Mood Hut dreaminess of "All My Love Is Free", and the punchy breaks, winding synth solos and stretched-out pads of blissful opener "Empathy Mix". Those heading for deep space should also cop the hazy, dubbed-out, ambient-informed Balearica of closer "Guide To Action".… Read more

The Story Of Her Life
Review: Having previously only appeared on WotNot Music in the past couple of years, K15 now slides over to Wild Oats to deliver a wholly appropriate slab of fluttering house romanticism rich in Detroit dreams and Chicago cheekiness, wherever the music might have been conceived. The cheekiness is no doubt most noticeable on "GWRH" with its homage to "Gypsy Woman", turning it into a fluttering Latino house jam, but before that comes the plush bump n rub of "The Story Of Her Life". "Insecurities" gets into a sexier kind of deep house funk, which "Gratitude" dutifully carries on until "Yellow" can round the record out with some largely beatless piano business.… Read more

None, though, have been quite as expansive as Speed of Life, a double 12" outing packed to the rafters with high-grade material. There's naturally much to admire throughout, from dreamy opener "Look (Beyond You)" - where jazz pianos spar with Herbie Hancock style jazz-funk synths over a sumptuous groove - and ultra-positive jazz-house wonder "This Life Is All We Have", to the early Floating Points-meets-Chez Damier shuffle of "Movements of Joy" and the toe-tapping, head-nodding bump of sparkling instrumental hip-hop closer "The Speed of Life". Arguably best of all, though, is "Truthfully", a wonderfully evocative chunk of downtempo smokiness co-produced by Kyle Hall.… Read more

The initial decade saw rapid expansion into new areas of business, with the first qualitative study being conducted by the end of the decade, and IMRB pioneering psephology in India through an ongoing series of opinion poll surveys for India Today, that successfully predicted Congress' victory in the 1980 general election.
Subsequent decades saw the development of new verticals, with the creation of specialized units and the offering of several syndicated research products. IMRB also played an important role in the standardization of market research practice in India, and was responsible for the creation in 1983 of the Socio-Economic Classification system, a method now used across India to define target audiences. In 1987, as a founder member of the MRSI, it helped evolve industry wide codes of conduct, and standards for survey data collection that are still in use today.[5]
With the global acquisition of J. Walter Thompson by Sir Martin Sorrell in 1987, IMRB became a constituent of WPP and continued its pace of growth, growing over 25% per annum through the 1990s under the leadership of Ramesh Thadani. The 1990s saw the creation of specialized units focusing on development research, employee satisfaction, loyalty programs, technology and media and the acquisition of several new multinational clients. IMRB's insights also played a role in the development of several new products for major Indian brands such as Marico, Bingo Chips, Godrej and Dabur and by this time supported 40 out of top 50 brands in India.
In 2002, as part of a process of rebranding, it changed its name from the Indian Market Research Bureau to IMRB International, adopted a new logo, and began a process of rapidly expanding its international services. This was accompanied by a shift from its offices at Esplanade Mansion to its current premises in Dadar, Mumbai. As part of geographical expansion, IMRB helped set up LMRB in Colombo, Sri Lanka in 1981 and AMRB in 1999 with headquarters in Dubai and offices throughout the Middle East and North Africa.
In 1996, along with the Manufacturers' Association for Information Technology (MAIT) IMRB initiated the periodic ITOPS survey which monitors the IT hardware market among households and businesses. Since 1998, in collaboration with the Internet and Mobile Association of India (IAMAI), an industry body IMRB also started providing a series of annual syndicated research reports named I-Cube which surveys the online and mobile landscape in India. More recently, in 2010 IMRB launched the Web Audience Measurement (WAM) system, India's first standardized internet audience measurement system based on a panel.[6]
Company structure[edit]
IMRB is headquartered in Mumbai, India. Its parent company is Hindustan Thompson Associates, which in turn is owned by Martin Sorrell's WPP Group plc. Within WPP, IMRB is aligned with the Kantar Group, an umbrella network of global market research companies that together account for over $2 billion in revenues and form the world's second biggest market research conglomerate.
In India, IMRB International operates out of its five full service offices in Ahmedabad, Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai and Bangalore and is supported by 15 other regional centers for collection of survey information. Overseas, IMRB functions through its associates AMRB-MENA in the Middle East and North Africa, with offices in Algiers, Dubai, Jeddah, Casablanca and Cairo; and LMRB, with offices in Colombo and Sirius, headquartered in Dhaka.[7]
IMRB is currently headed by Thomas Puliyel, a market researcher with over thirty years of experience. As the oldest market research company in India, it has served as the training ground of many industry leaders including Dorab Sopariwala, Ranjit Chib and Meena Kaushik, who went on to found their own companies.
Business divisions and services[edit]
Given the specialized nature of its work, IMRB is organized into several independent business divisions that focus on specific areas of market research. It currently has eight business units in addition to its oldest division, the quantitative research division.[8]
|Name of Division

While a significant amount of its work involves customized research such as usage studies, branding studies, public opinion research, concept testing, product testing, need assessment studies, packaging and label research, and market segmentation studies IMRB also offers a variety of syndicated research products and reports that are widely used as industry bench-marks of consumer behaviour, such as:
- MarketPulse, a continuous monthly tracking of household purchases across various FMCG categories. The panel covers over 70,000 homes with 56,000 homes in urban and 14,000 in rural India and is widely used as a benchmark for purchase and pricing behavior. Its counterpart the Elite Household Panel tracks information in affluent, urban households
- WAM and RAM, a standardized audience measurement system that samples web and radio audiences, and provides real time detailed segmented data on web usage behaviors
- ITops and ICube, syndicated annual research reports on the landscape of new technology in India

X5 4.4i vs. Range Rover Sport HSE vs. Base Cayenne vs. Touareg V8
Hey guys,
Its that time again...my dad is looking for a new car. He needs an SUV, so he can occasionaly store some items for his customers. Basically he likes these 4 cars, and i was wondering if anyone can give us some feedback as to which car would be the best buy. He isnt really a person who speeds alot, but he does like power...
2006 X5 4.4i --- 315hp-- All-wheel Drive
2006 Range Rover Sport HSE --- 300hp --- Permanent 4WD
Cayenne S --- 340hp ---All-wheel Drive
Tuareg v8 4.2 --- 310hp --- All-wheel Drive
Ive heard that the maint. on the Tuareg and the RR arent great. I dont know too much about x5 and basically about any of these SUV's.
My dad is looking to purchase a car by June/July, but he is willing to wait if a new generation is beig released. Does anyone know if the X5 is being redesigned for 2007? We have sat in, and drove the cayenne, and my dad really loved the sound of the car, and the power...but that the was the turbo, so anyone who has had a chance to check these cars out could really help.
Let me know,
Thanks in advance
x5 4.8
ooohhh- BTW I have seen the new X5 driving around, I think it's scheduled for dec 06/ jan 07 intro, but it's funky looking, nowhere near as cool looking as the current X5, has these weird bulging out circular brake lamps, I'd say stick to the current X5, plus reliability will be at the prime b/c it's toward the end of the model life, IE- no more kinks to work out!!
RR Sport...hands down.
X5 is about to be redesigned, Toureag is a nice car but just can't compete with these cars, and the Cayenne is nice but not as nice as the RR Sport.
Def get the tuareg my brother has one and has been modding it since day one...ill post pics once im finished with my car but anyway the maintenance isnt bad at all he hasnt had a problemw ith it yet.. and he loves the interior too its a great car all around. And the exhaust note is insane!!! full deep v8 sound, im telling u get the taureg its the same at the cayenne in my opinion the VW interior is nicer, cuz my brother got cinnamon leather with wood and aluminum trim. as for the X5 his friend has a 4.8 and he said my brothers car for the money is the best bet cuz the 4.4 isnt that great compared to the 4.8the range is nice but its also alot of money..we got 1 foot of snow over hear and the truck handled excellent. in the end its up to you they are all good trucks but owning the taureg and knowing someone who owns teh x5 def get the VW
the RR sport looks nice, but we test drove one, and to be honest, the thing is downright FOMOCO (ford motor for those not familiar) CHEAP ASS ****!!! the interior materials are cheap, the seats are terribly uncomfortable, and outside is clad in armoral sucking detroit plastics, the leather is plasticy and above all, present in the $90k RR S/C, BLACK PLASTIC MIRRORS?!?! you don't go spend $60-$70k+ to get non painted exterior mirrors, I mean you can buy RAV4s with painted mirrors, and they're standard on a toyota highlander, for christ's sake, plastic mirrors?!?! the car looks good but it's cheap and full of profit, BTW the ride and handling sucked compared to the Porsche Cayenne S, and we haven't driven a 4.8is yet but it's supposed to be even better than the Cayenne S.
Don't think I'm hating on the RR sport, it's a nice truck, and I loved it at first, but it's just not in the same league as these Euro Autobahn PowerCruisers, or w/e you want to call them, if however you want to do some semi-serious to serious off-roading and/or rock climbimg, the Land Rover will crawl circles around the Euro Autobahn PowerCruisers.
Buy a used V10 Turbo Diesel Touareg...oh the torque.
Gas mileage is in the 20's and you can run laps around almost any SUV on the road today (admittedly not at 20 mpg though).
Having driven all of the above cars recently on test drives, here's what i think
Touareg - Good value, solid interior and exterior styling cues, but if you're considering higher end vehicles, this is a little out of place IMO. It depends on how crucial the name brand is to your decision.
Porsche - Pricey, and to be honest, built on the same platform as the Touareg. I've heard of some maintenence issues and the fact that you can get a fully loaded Touareg for less than a base Cayenne S (I'm assuming we're talking all V8 models here). Unless brand really matters to you, I wouldn't pay for the overpriced/re-badged VW, I'd just go with the original VW Touareg.
X5 - X5 4.4i is a solid vehicle. IMO it handles like a 330 sedan and the V8 power is really robust and can get you where you need to be without you doubting it's capability. The interior is up to par with the rest of BMW standards, even though it is assembled in North America. With options, it too can get pricey, but still not as pricey as the Cayenne S. I'd pick this over the Cayenne S, even though it's due for a redesign. It's a solid buy, and with BMW's full Maintenence program, you won't even have to pay for brake pads while you're under warranty. Something you won't get with other companies.
Range Rover Sport - I haven't had as much experience with these as the others, but IMO I wouldn't buy this car unless it was the supercharged version. The Sport exterior styling cues will set you apart from the already existing plethora of 4.6HSE Rovers already out there, but it's still got a bit of a bulky feel to it and doesn't handle itself as well on the road as the others. The Cayenne S and X5 both have a more 'sporty' feel to them, even though this is supposed to be the Range Rover Sport. I've heard of a few quality issues with this car, although it hasn't been out long enough to get any long-term reports.
I would urge you to consider the new Mercedes ML. Mercedes has really stepped it's game up with the new ML and the quality feels much higher than the original. The redesign did the M-Class justice, and the ML500 is quick. The styling redesign was needed and has been well accepted by many.
You really need to test drive all these cars and work out the pricing based on your budget. If It were me, I'd focus my sights on the ML500. If you're worried that the X5 redesign, than the ML is for you because it was JUST redesigned last year! If you get the optional AMG Package on the ML, you'll be one of a kind because it's more rare on the new ML since the base ML350 pricing is so reasonable, it's more common. The ML500 AMG Sport would be rare, and fun. The Cayenne is overpriced IMO. My conclusion: Go with what you know; BMW won't let you down, but since you need a car now and the new X5 isn't out (if you're worried about redesign), the M-Class may fill that void.
the one on the right is the ML AMG Sport Package
the optional aero kit for the X5. Those are 4.8 wheels, but the wheels offered on the 4.4 are good too.
Cayenne Turbo S....tell Your Pops To Save His Money Till Mid 2007 Over 500 Hp
cayenne turbo S is available now, I've talked to two people whose friends own and love them, pull out an equity line on the home for this one, lol
Range FTW!
you could just say screw it all and get an M5 instead. haha.
X5 with Mclaren engine.
go with the x5 or the RR sport.
The Touareg, while being a nice vehicle, is simply outclassed against the other suv's. the cayenne is a glorified touareg with uglier styling.
The x5 is a proven vehicle, since it's been out awhile most of the kinks have been worked out, plus you can get the 4.8is for the price of the cayenne s.
The RR sport is a very nice truck, but it's new and I wouldn't be too sure about the reliability (though a friend of mine just got one to replace an ml320 and he loves it). The X5 handles and rides better, and it's faster, so I would have to say X5 ftw :thumbup:
Hey man thanks alot, i got some good info from your post, and its great that you've had some first hand experience in these cars. I just checked out the ML500, and it looks like i should suggest it to my dad. He is looking for a car around 80K CAD so this car looks about right. The interior looks nice too. I was really edging mysself to the RR or X5 for their looks but i TOTALLY forgot about teh ML :banghead:
Thanks again for the opinons and comments guys!
Fully Agree!:thumbup:
Ver well put-together... Kasimmm you should for sure include the ML500.
I agree with either the ML or the X5 with the Pcar right behind
DO NOT GET THE TOUREG. I cant stress that enough. It looks and runs great but it is a quality nightmare.
I have never seen so many cars lemoned in my whole life. There are nightmare stories about the auto suspension leaving the thing stranded.
Cars just not starting for no reason, batteries running down prematurely.
That is just scratching the surface, its such a shame because the Treg was a very nice execution in style and functionality but like most VWs these days falls very short in quality.
Check out VWVortex there are alot of complaints about it.
Anyway I havent driven the new ML but I have heard its fantastic, I have drive the X4 4.4 (not 4.8 but its just that much better) and the Porsche, its really a matter of taste between the 2, I am curious though why the Porsche doesnt suffer from the same quality issues that the VW does.
I really like the RR alot actually but I did feel the Ford influence in it as others had.
I say X5 4.8 if you dont mind the style change next year. Its still gourgeous and a fantastic ride.
If you dont want to wait check out the new ML its muchhhhhhh better then the old one.
After that the Porsche (or maybe a tie with the ML on that one)
I am a bit bias on the X5 to this day I still think its the best looking SAV/SUV ever built.
Couldn't agree more. RR sports are beautiful.

The Thackerays have a unique ability of making the headlines every now and often despite their one-dimensional and geographically limited pursuit of politics. Shiv Sena patriarch Balasaheb Thackeray said on Saturday that given a chance to direct the Indian Army, he would have little problem in settling all issues in the country. One month will be enough for his 'straightening' act.
According to the senior Thackeray, the Muslim fundamentalists would not be spared for creating trouble, at least in Maharshtra. He spoke about the post-Babri riots, Godhra carnage and Mumbai violence last month in the same breath. The Shiv Sena chief also wondered why the Bihar CM was worried over the Maharastra Police taking action against criminals in the latter's state.
His nephew, the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray was equally explosive during his interview with an English news channel. He said the people from Bihar and UP are creating trouble in Maharashtra and that the news media, particularly the Hindi one, were twisting his comments for TRP gains. According to the junior Thackeray, UP has been home to majority of India's prime ministers but yet the state sees so many people leaving for elsewhere.
Thackerays have serious drawbacks
The Thackerays issue their thundering statements often but one
can not help but conclude that they suffer from two major
drawbacks. One, they go overboard at the slighest
provocation and tend to oversimplify issues through narrow
views and two, a communication problem which the
TRP-obsessed media use to their own advantage, even very brutally
at times. The communication problem is, perhaps aided by a lack of
understanding of the meaning of 'India'.The irony is that, whether
Raj Thackeray likes it or not, he is as much as dependent on media
publicity (positive or negative) as the latter are on
These forces gained prominence after Congress declined
The Thackerays are an alternative reality that has evolved in today's India after the collapse of the Congress system and its culture. The irony is that a regional force like Shiv Sena was encouraged by the Congress in the past but soon it teamed up with the BJP in the 1980s, the time when Hindu fundamentalism began to rise steadily on the ruins of the Congress's pseudo-secularism.
The problem is a structural one. As one 'ism' grows on the ruins of another, India's debatable secularism had lost all its charm in the post-Nehru days and Indira Gandhi's assassination by Sikh bodyguards or Rajiv Gandhi's minority appeasement in instances like Shah Bano case in the mid-1980s instilled a sense of fear among the Hindus and they found a shelter in the emerging Hindutva politics. Then came the Mandal politics, which mobilised the apprehensive upper-caste Hindus further in support of Hindutva and all soon, the right-wing forces went on to form their own governments at various states of India.
Raj Thackeray's rise and fall out with Shiv Sena
The Shiv Sena also formed the government in Maharashtra with the BJP in mid-1990s and Raj Thackeray had made his presence felt during this time. He had formed the Shiv Udyog Sena in 1997 and also arranged a Michael Jackson concert, which made him an popular icon at that time. But Raj soon found himself in the corner.
The Ramesh Kini murder case of 1997 caused discomfort and when Balasaheb announced his son Uddhav as the Sena chairman, Raj was far from pleased and formed the MNS in 2006. Raj started to attack north Indian migrants although he said on face that he was only attacking those who created a division among the people. The MNS soon turned out to be a clone of the mother party with a thrust on militant and exclusivist brand of politics.
Raj Thackeray looks a confused politician. It seems he has generalised Biharis, UPites, Pakistanis and Bangladeshis in the same category. He said during his interview that 48 trains enter Maharashtra every day from the eastern states and those travelling in those trains must be kept under scrutiny.
This shows how narrow perception about the modern India that these leaders have and that they will not survive without issuing warnings every other day. A city is built by waves of migration and the consequent cross-cultural mix and so is a nation. If all migrants are chased out or we need arms to clean up our society, then I must say that the concept of India should be withered away.
The same is applicable in Tamil Nadu where a voice is being raised against Sinhalas or in the northeast where Bangladeshis have been at the receiving end for it is said that they are posing threat to the national security.
Senas' narrow politics won't earn anything
Both the Senas are victims of reactionary politics and even though Raj Thackeray tried to promote the philosophy of Marathi Manoos, he has failed to chart a new way to do so. Neither the Indian Constitution nor the new economy of the 21st century not allow much space for aggressigve and one-dimensional politics of the Thackerays. Neither of the Senas have succeeded in scripting a politics of transformation from what it was in the 1960s and Raj should be held more responsible for the failure for he belonged to the new India.
If people from UP and Bihar are settling in Maharashtra and adding to its economic performance, then who is Raj Thackeray to create an unnecessary disturbance in the smooth functioning of the democratic economy? Why doesn't he speak for economic uplift for the promotion of the idea of Marathi Manoos? If the Bihar police have done any grave error of not arresting criminals, it is the problem of coordination between states' administration and Raj Thackeray has no business in threatening all Biharis.
Nor does his 86-year-old uncle has the understanding of the idea of unleashing military power to flush out fundamentalists within a month. The senior Sena doesn't even hesitate to attack a national icon like Sachin Tendulkar when he says 'Mumbai is for all'. What national security is he speaking about?
Lack of clarity of ideas and only belligerence
It is unfortunate that the regional satraps in today's India are so obsessed with misleading and muscle-flexing politics that they do not have any utility as far as solving the real issues on earth are concerned. 'Islamic threat', 'national security', 'crime', 'Migration', each of these issues have serious impact for India today but that doesn't mean anybody will jumble up all together with a sole aim of promoting narrow identity politics. That can not be allowed if the conecpt of India is to survive.

Parliament has sacked some of Yanukovych's lieutenants and named their replacements, but has yet to appoint the new premier and fill remaining government posts.

Ideas That Matter: The Concepts That Shape the 21st Century by A. C. Grayling
No current Talk conversations about this book.
loved the ideas that this is a first step- "the introduction to key ideas" to be "part of the equipment needed by engaging citizens of the world"
Provoking - worth a read
Grayling is a philosopher with a great sense of humour and a great writing style. This book contains discussions on a list of topics that Grayling considers as important. Its style is somewhere between that of an encyclopedia and that of a collection of short essays. The average length for each entry is about two and a half pages and totally devoid of undefined buzzwords.
Given the breath of the topics discussed, from history to philosophy and from biology to physics, it is natural that not all entries are as clear as they could be or as complete as they could be. A few have unnecessarily multiple entries, like "religion", "Catholic Christianity", "Orthodox Christianity", "Protestantism", since from an ideas point of view nothing new is being added, while for some the treatment is so pedestrian that it is not clear why he bothered including them in the first place. For example, on "tolerance" he spends about two pages discussing the trivially obvious and concludes by saying "We pride ourselves on being tolerant, but this is usually when we do not really care one way or the other about what others are doing. When we mind, and object, and dislike, but recognize the other's right to do what he does...then the hard work of tolerance begins." Well, although that may be trivially true, one would expect a bit more than platitudes from a philosopher. At a minimum a discussion on the limits of tolerance. In other words at what point is tolerance not tolerance anymore but becomes voluntary submission to the opinions of someone else? And at what point social tolerance is tantamount to a different form of totalitarianism where the majority has to voluntarily subjugate itself to the wishes of the few? Or what is the domain where tolerance should reign?
Nevertheless, for most entries I found myself rethinking some of their promises after reading Grayling and as such I would recommend reading this book, but in a slow and contemplative fashion.
Grayling discusses issues that are important in the 21st century, not focusing on just the positive, but also on ideas that hang on and create problems. For the most part, the discussion is easy to read and astute, though he does lapse into jargon in some of the more philosophical topics, which may lead to readers skipping those sections (which didn't require philosophical jargon to elucidate). It is arranged encyclopedia style, so you can go alphabetically and find the issue you're interested in, with cross references to other topics. He makes some blunders, especially in the area of US history; while I don't expect the British to all know US history correctly, it is a valuable thing if you are going to write about it in a professional book. Also, it is interesting to note what he includes, and what he leaves out. Are his choices arbitrary, or do they say something important? For instance, he discusses racism and the problems that arise, but he does not mention sexism. This might not be an indication of anything, since his paragraphs on feminism seem fair, but there are some rather pregnant comments in some of the other sections which might suggest a rejection that sexism is an important topic, and which are more revealing coupled with his discussion of Sociobiology. Or he may just figure he covered it enough with feminism. Still, it is an interesting work, and deserves to be considered by anyone interested in the important issues of the day.

First They Came...
First they came for the Jews
and I did not speak out -
because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for the communists
and I did not speak out -
because I was not a communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists
and I did not speak out -
because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for me
and there was no one left
to speak out for me.

I have donated to health charities & raised awareness for illnesses I don't have. We are all part of the Earth & must treat all of her with respect.

This is something that comes very strongly to my mind. I went into social work because I felt strongly about promoting social justice. I thought that's what I would be doing rather than ramming through successive governmental agendas although I do think we still have scope to speak out against some of the nature of the systems that seem to throw injustice and bureaucracy in the face of those who need support.

Having just been kicked back for my dla (I have eds3 and fibro etc etc) I cant help but remember how the nazis got rid of the disabled and mentally ill before the death camps were even opened, they had two docs seperately, and annonymously, decide upon just a viewing of a file (never the patient) weather they should be "neutralised" and noone ever knew whos choices swung the vote so they had their version of clean conciences.. my doc wont even write a letter for my appeal as he refuses on principal to cooperate with the system going beserk but where does that leave me?! He said "You have to be totally demented and only able to blink to get dla now Emma. you wont get it."
Thanks for doing your blog, I know first hand how difficult typing is with eds, its really informative and funny and right on! :D

The Golden Lynel is an enemy from The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons. After Link talks to a certain Old Man, he is given the task of defeating the four golden beasts in Holodrum. One of these is the Golden Lynel, which resides in Tarm Ruins during the winter. It is more powerful than a generic Lynel, and if Link manages to defeat the Golden Lynel along with the other three golden beasts, he obtains the Red Ring.

Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman told Turkish journalists that Israel has "no reason to apologize" for the Mavi Marmara incident.
Lieberman in a meeting Sunday with the journalists in Jerusalem said that Israel is ready to discuss the incident and would consider the issue of an apology as part of a package including other issues, such as Iran, Gaza and Hamas, the Turkish daily Today's Zaman reported. He said current developments in the region made it important for Turkey and Israel to normalize relations.
Lieberman called the Mavi Marmara, which claimed to be carrying humanitarian aid to Gaza, a "clear provocation, and it was our right to protect the lives of our soldiers. Frankly speaking, Israel has no reason to apologize," he said.
Nine Turkish nationals, including a Turkish-American man, were killed in clashes during the May 31, 2010 raid by Israeli commandos.
It was Lieberman's first meeting with a Turkish delegation since the incident.

I'm not sure just what it is you are trying to say. I've checked my college
introductory botany book and I checked Katherine Esau's Plant Anatomy, which
is probably the classic book on plant anatomy, and I don't see any reference
indicating that monocots don't have cotylodens or that the structure that
emerges above ground when a seed germinates is considered a true leaf. It
is always refered to as a cotyledon. Cotyledon is just a name botanists
give to the leaf like structure that forms as part of the embryo, also
sometimes refered to as seed-leaf. If you want to consider it a true leaf
then you also have to consider the first two leaves of the dicots to also be
true leaves.
Would you please post the references that show that monocots don't have

On Monday morning I learned that you could be the most unacknowledged person in the girl-world, and yet people's eyes are naturally drawn to you when they see you with a boy.
This seemed to be the case for me as I hurried off to English with Griffin, our clasped hands swinging lazily between us. Something about relationships made the average teenage girl go all ga-ga, and when we passed the cliques gathered in the hallways I heard the whispers and caught the eyes of various onlookers. Apparently the students of Billiards decided that people like Griffin and I weren't allowed to fall in love- the glares we received in the crowded corridors indicated just that.
"Do we have to be so extroverted about this?" I whispered loudly to Griffin as we took our seats in the back of Mr. Narson's classroom.
Griffin began shuffling through his folder for the assignment Mr. Narson had informed us we'd be turning in at the start of class. I too started looking for mine, hoping it was completed. When I took it out, a glanced at the corner and then quickly scrawled the 'proper heading' up in the tiny box: Arielle Kemp, October 19th.
"You're not ashamed, are you, Arielle?" Griffin teased, a playful smile curling on his lips.
"No," I scowled. "I'm just not a big fan of attention."
Griffin pulled out the sheet of loose-leaf. "Note to self," he stated as he wrote out the words in his huge curling handwriting, every syllable dripping with sarcasm. "Arielle does not like attention."
I sighed in frustration; Griffin smiled in triumph.
Just as the bell rang, Mr. Narson came storming into the room, looking as flustered as ever. He was towing a huge stack of books, which he set down carefully on the corner of his desk.
"Class has commenced!" He announced cheerfully, receiving blank stares from everyone but Griffin and I. For how much the people at this school gossiped and talked, you'd think they'd have wider vocabularies. Mr. Narson cleared his throat. "What I meant was, class has begun."
After taking attendance and collecting our assignments, Mr. Narson took his favorite place in the room- standing on the right side of the chalkboard, his body angled to the left. I was sure the man was part chameleon and that he stood there to watch the students out of one eye and the board out of the other.
"Today we will be starting another of Shakespeare's masterpieces," he proclaimed happily. I groaned, along with most of the other students. Griffin, however, was practically beaming. "As well as another project," he added with a smile of glee. More groans.
"We'll be studying A Midsummer Night's Dream, my personal favorite," Mr. Narson continued. "And together with a partner, you each will have to compare and contrast the play to Romeo and Juliet, which I assume you have a pretty decent understanding of by now."
This is just peachy, I thought resentfully. I loathed Shakespeare, and I'd almost been celebrating when we'd finished Romeo and Juliet, thinking that I'd never have to look upon that book again. A Midsummer Night's Dream couldn't be much better.
My mood was slightly improved when Mr. Narson informed us that we got to choose our own partners and Griffin swung his desk around to face me. I did the same. Mr. Narson came around to hand out books, and I took mine reluctantly, holding it by the corner as though it was going to bite me.
"Arielle, it's just Shakespeare," Griffin moaned in an exasperated tone. "The man was a genius. Besides, just think of all the extra time we can spend together reading it." He rolled his eyes before adding, "Someone's going to have to translate it for you.'
I bit my lip to hide the smile trying to escape- Griffin would not win again. But he had found my weakness: him.
The ring of the bell startled me, causing me to jump and Griffin to laugh. We exited the class together, and then paused in the hallway to part for second hour- I had Calculus and he had some AP Art class.
"I'll see you at lunch," he whispered, leaning in and kissing my cheek.
"Mr. Barrett," Mr. Narson's booming voice called from the entrance of his classroom. "Public Displays of Affection will result in detention. Don't make me warn you again."
Griffin nodded sheepishly before rushing off to the art hall.
As soon as school let out at three, Griffin and I began the twenty-block walked to Cordelia's mansion. Any other time, twenty blocks would seem more like twenty miles, but with Griffin it hardly seemed like twenty steps.
"So what are our plans for today?" I asked offhandedly as I slid into a tight black hoodie I'd shoved carelessly into my bag.
Griffin paused to wait for me. "I thought that maybe you'd let me draw you today," he answered. "But only if you're up to it."
I nodded, and we began to walk again, our steps falling in sync.
"It's getting much colder," I pointed out randomly.
"Arielle," Griffin nearly cut me off. "I can tell when something's bothering you."
I sighed, readjusting my bag so that I could snake my arm in through Griffin's.
"My dad's getting remarried," I surrendered at last. "And he wants me to fly into California to be there."
"Arielle, that's great," Griffin replied, giving my hand a squeeze. I hadn't even noticed that we'd been holding hands. "When's the wedding?"
I shook my head. "Why should I be there for him if he was never there for me?" I repeated the same reasoning that I'd used on myself.
Griffin sighed softly. "Because," he almost hissed, "he's your father. You should cherish him while you can."
I recoiled as though I'd been slapped, although Griffin was the one who should have been feeling hurt. After all, he didn't even have a father to spend time with, and here I was complaining about seeing mine. How could I have been so insensitive?
We reached Cordelia's house in silence, slipping off our shoes in the doorway and heading straight up to the second floor. We made a quick appearance in Cordelia's room so that she knew we were home, and then we went on to Griffin's room.
Still irate, I plopped down onto Griffin's bed, burying my head in his mound of pillows. Less than thirty seconds later- I was counting in my head- I felt Griffin's warm hand on my back, rubbing in small, circular motions.
"I shouldn't have snapped at you like that," he murmured. "It was uncalled for."
I rolled over so that I could look up into Griffin's inhumanly beautiful face, staring at him with pleading eyes. As though he could read my mind, he bent down and planted a soft kiss upon my pale, bare lips. I put my arms around his shoulders, pulling him down beside me.
"He did say that I could bring a friend," I hinted quietly, keeping my slender arms around him. Griffin smiled a lazy half-smile.
"I am going to draw you now, and we will discuss this later." Griffin spoke to me in such a tone, I felt like I was a young child being reprimanded. I kissed him again before he rose from the bed and went to go sit at his desk.
I bolted up, smoothing out my disheveled hair. "What am I supposed to do?" I asked nervously.
"Just lay there," Griffin said distractedly, taking a knife from a cup and sharpening several pieces of charcoal.
While he did this, I laid back down and tried several positions until I found one the I liked- not to posed, but not entirely careless either.
Griffin pulled his desk away from the wall and turned it so that he could see his king-sized bed.
"Now, just. Don't. Move." Each word came out as an individual sentence as Griffin lowered himself onto his three-legged wooden stool.
I tried not to breathe or blink as I watched Griffin make light, even strokes across the bleach white cardstock. After every few repetitions of the same line, he would smear the gray-black charcoal with his fingers. He seldom touched the eraser- he seldom made mistakes.
"You can breathe, Arielle," Griffin laughed as he picked up a new, sharper piece of charcoal. I flashed a smile before quickly composing myself.
Like every other time I'd ever seen him drawing, Griffin threw himself completely into his work. I was sure that if I called out his name, he'd be totally oblivious to the interruption.
It was rather mesmerizing, watching Griffin at work. After a while I found that I was hypnotized to the backwards-forwards motions of his graceful hands, the determined look in his eyes, the tiny satisfied smile present on his lips- the overall essence of him intoxicated me. I knew that I could never be as passionate about anything as Griffin was about his art.
My gray-blue eyes followed him as he sketched. Every movement seemed vital to the outcome of the portrait, even the tiniest shifting of weight.
The glow of the candles around us was very peaceful, and a wave of exhaustion swept over me, I wasn't sure if closing my eyes counted as moving, and I was too afraid to ask.
But whatever the answer was, it made no difference, because sleep soon overtook me.
I was much too focused on Arielle's portrait; I didn't even notice when she suddenly fell into sleep. Laughing quietly to myself, I pushed the drawing aside, rose, and went to go lay beside her.
. Maybe everything was shot to hell. Maybe my parents were dead and I was probably next in line. But holding Arielle, everything seemed okay. I felt…hopeful.
The false sense of security scared me the most. Contentment was nothing more than a sign that everything was about to fall apart.
I'd die if anything happened to her. Even if I had to kill myself. I'd half-way done it before, and I could do t again with ease, and without a backward glance. Not a force on this Earth could make me live a day without her.
I closed my eyes and pulled her limp body closer. I wondered what she dreamed of behind her fluttering eyelids. Did it bring her peace, or terrorize her in the night, when she was helpless and truly, truly alone?
Did she dream of me?
I gave her a slight kiss on the cheek, standing up to leave her in peace.
I stepped out into the hallway and was instantly plagued with a desire to visit my Grandmother. To apologize to her for how I'd behaved last time I'd visited her. I 'd been upset, but that was hardly an excuse for my rash behavior.
I knew she'd been in her sitting room, where she always was. I crept down the hall to see her perched upon her chair. To my immense surprise the heavy shades were open, and she was staring blankly out at the world beyond that was New York City. This town was a kingdom, and Cordelia was a queen.
Without making a sound I went and sat in the chair parallel hers.
"It's a beautiful city," I murmured. Cordelia nodded slowly.
"There's nothing else like it in the entire world," she replied. "You should have seen it when I was a child. All around us was terror and war and destruction, and yet something about the city made it all seem bearable. "
"I don't think it will ever truly be home," I told her.
Cordelia turned her head ever so slightly, and a faint smile crept onto her lips. "I think it already is."
I slinked back into silence, hating Cordelia for her insight, hating myself for being so damn stubborn.
When our green eyes locked again, I suddenly blurted, "I think I love her."
"I know you love her," my Grandmother snapped. "And we both know she loves you. The question is what to do with this wondrous knowledge."
Cordelia's biting tone did not faze me.
"Tell her," she said quietly. "Tell her you love her before it's too late."
I narrowed my eyes, rapidly transforming the knot of terror in my chest to fury. "You say it like she'll die tomorrow."
"She might," Cordelia retorted icily. "Or you might. You never know what tomorrow may hold. Cherish today while it is yours. Live your life so that when you close your eyes to sleep, you can do so without regret."
"I think it's a little late for that," I muttered under my breath.
"And I think that you are a foolish boy who knows nothing of the world. Tell her you love her."
I stood up, fighting with all my might to conceal the smile trying to creep onto my lips. "You know, Cordelia, I don't think I really have to. I think she already knows."

Sibling Warfare
Taylor turned Jayden into a rabbit, and almost wet himself by laughing so hard. Jayden was not amused. Within five minutes she had turned herself back into a girl again. Jayden leaned over and gave Taylor a solid whack that made his ears ring.
Taylor all but vibrated with fury. His face flushed, and he balled up his fists, ready to use them. Jayden muttered something under her breath, and Taylor froze in his spot.
"Listen you idiot. There's a vampire and a werewolf on this bus. I could feel their attention focused on me when I was a rabbit. To them, I was fresh meat. Unless you want your only sister killed and blood drained before your eyes, I suggest you never do that again!"
Jayden withdrew the immobility spell, and Taylor returned to normal. He relaxed his fists and let them rest on the seat.
"I didn't mean to turn you into a real rabbit! I thought your lucky rabbit's foot key chain was fake. I thought you would turn into a fluffy fuzzy stuffed bunny, not a real rabbit!
"Daddy gave us these key chains stupid. A fake rabbit foot wouldn't be lucky. they have to be real."
"Wasn't lucky for the rabbit." Taylor grinned.
"Haha. That joke is older than you are, brainiac." She remarked sarcastically.
Jayden ventured a sidelong glance at Alex and Lillith. They both looked extremely dejected. A sudden idea struck her that brightened her mood immediately. She put her hand out palm up.
"Give me your key chain."
Give it to me, and I'll turn you into a rabbit, and let those two eat you!"
Taylor was not impressed by the empty threat.
"As if.. you wouldn't do that. Why do you want my key chain?"
She waggled her fingers impatiently.
"Just give it to me, I'll explain later."
He handed it to her reluctantly. She took their house key off of it and handed it back to her brother. She did the same thing with her lucky rabbit's foot key chain. She stood up and shuffled toward the aisle, thereby forcing Taylor to put his feet up on the seat to let her pass by him.
"Hey! what are you doing?"
"Never mind. I'll tell you later"

The Nerd Fails of the Imaginary Star Trek Script in Breaking Bad | Wired.com

What a great scene. Find the transcript anywhere or just the animated video below?
I looked on Reddit and didn't find it but I did find this:
Transformation from Walt to Heisenberg:
Rewatching the scene, look at 0:08, as soon as the prospect of losing his kids comes up, you can literally see Walt become Heisenberg, going from confused and scared to completely confident and dominating, but Bryan Cranston manages to convey it all just with his eyes, in 4 seconds. And Hank's reaction right after that is so appropriate, he just witnessed a full transformation of the hidden evil he had no idea existed in this man, like he's staring in the eyes of the Devil himself abandoning his disguise.
This also tells you that as insanely psychopathic as Walt is becoming, he still cares deeply about his kids, to the point that he's ready to go full on Heisenberg on your ass if you even mention their names.
Seriously though, the acting is pretty amazing.
