This book was issued in conjunction with the Australian Legends: Fashion Designers stamp issue in 2005. It was written by Melbourne fashion writer Zelda Cawthorne. The `Prue Acton' chapter is illustrated with photographs from the Prue Acton collection at RMIT featuring clothing items in the Museum Victoria Collection. Most photographs by Lucas Allen.
Physical Description
Soft covered 64 page book, heavily illustrated throughout, with chapters covering each of the six Australian designers featured as part of the Australian Legends: Fashion Designers stamp issue.
Australia Post launched the Australian Legends Awards in 1997 to `honour living Australians who have made a unique contribution to our way of life, inspired the community and influenced the way Australians think about themselves and their country'. The first recipient was Sir Donald Bradman, and this was the first time that a living person, besides the Queen, had been featured on an Australian Stamp. Since then sportspeople, artists, scientists, performers and the ANZACS have been featured. In 2005, it was decided to pay tribute to the Australian Fashion Industry, focusing on six individuals (three from Melbourne and three from Sydney.) They were selected by Australia Post for `contribution to the evolution of contemporary Australian fashion as well as their influence on our national identity' as well as their ability to `bring their creative vision to life through inspiration, hard work and a canny sense for business.' (from the Australia Post website).
Prue Acton was born in Benalla, Victoria, in 1943. She completed a Diploma of Art (majoring in Textiles) in 1962 and, the following year, started up her own company (in Flinders Lane) with a loan from her parents. She was the first Australia designer to break into the American market, after a successful visit to New York in 1967. Prue received a number of awards during her career, including 5 Australian Wool Board Awrds, 3 David Jones Awards for Fashion Excellence and four Fashion Industry of Australia Lyrebird Awards, as well as receiving an OBE in 1982. After closing her business in the late 1980s, she now works as a fulltime painter.
These items add to the Museum's Prue Acton collection, supplementing the number of awards and other accolades that Prue Acton received during her company's operation and in the years after. This particular award, bestowed almost 20 years after Prue closed her business, reflects the admiration held by sections of the community of Prue both as a designer and as a business person. In light of the significance of this award, Museum Victoria made the unprecedented act of loaning four garments from the Prue Acton collection to the fashion parade held as part of the Australia Day Lunch in Melbourne and Sydney (held concurrently on Friday 21st January, 2005) where the Fashion Designer stamps were launched (still and moving documentation of this is being provided by the event organisers.)

A Decadence Beyond All
Four strands of rock crystal, glass, and faceted crystal beads bring a decadence beyond all, and with pendants in gilt brass adorning the front of this beauty, the luxe factor is only heightened tremendously. Bits of golden vintage beads peek amongst the clear, sparkling strands, while the Art Deco fan drops are Gatsby-like and glamorous. A gilt brass hook clasps this classic-with-a-twist at 18" in length.

EUR/JPY: trade idea
Dima Chernovolov
- EUR/JPY broke support level 130.40
- Next sell target - 125.00
EUR/JPY last week broke strongly below the support level 130.40, which was set as the sell target in our previous report for this currency pair. The breakout of this support level coincided with the breakout of the 38.2% Fibonacci Correction of the previous sharp weekly upward impulse from November of 2012 (as you can see from the weekly EUR/JPY chart below). This double breakout intensified the bearish pressure on EUR/JPY – accelerating the active primary downward impulse wave ③ from February.
EUR/JPY is expected to fall further to the next sell target at the support level 125.00 (coinciding with the 50% Fibonacci retracement of the aforementioned weekly upward impulse from 2012). Sell stop-loss can be placed above 130.40.

Targets include William Hill, Corals and Sporting Index, all of whom have refused to bow to the extortion threats. The National Crime Squad's hitech crime unit has now been called in to help prevent the internet sabotage.
Hackers cost betting companies millions during Cheltenham this month by targeting websites before key races. Police said they overloaded web pages, leaving gamblers unable to place bets.
The blackmail gangs have threatened to strike again in the run-up to Saturday - with more than £ 50 million expected to be gambled online on the National alone.

text: Hello, Recently I received Windows 7 and had no intentions of replacing my vista anytime soon. So, I decided to fire up an external 300 gb usb hard drive. (Note: This drive was originally in a lap top taht broke so I took it out and got an enclosure for it, It was 320 gb but that doesnt matter.) I was going to see if Windows allowed me to install Win 7 on a portable hard drive, and as I expected It did not work... So I took it out of the enclosure and hooked it up in my computer. The reason I wanted to install externally was because I only have 1 data transfer cable. Specs: Dell inspiron 530 serial ATA- right angle data cable Well I had to unplug my original drive in the process. I installed 7 on the drive and booted just fine and set up win 7. Next I put the drive back in the enclosure and Changed my bios and I got to the loading screen of 7 and it fails... And tells me to go and repair. So I repaired it a good 3 times... Most the problems were occuring in Winload.exe and/or bootmgr... So theres the situation Here is what I think, I believe that When I installed it it recognized That it was attached in the IDE and wants that when I use it... If so Is there any fix next thought, I think I noticed when I had it plugged into my computer motherboard. The drive was labeled F: and when in usb mode it is labled H: I would appreciate A Soloution for this problem, no matter the outcome. I may also just run over to best buy and get a new cable anyway but I want to try this. I have googled around everywhere, and There hasn't been a soloution. I have not heard of very many people acheiving this either. Thanks, OneThatWalks Java( In proccess of learning) , php, html - programmer

Sigh. Turf was such an amazing game. We miss it. We get nostalgic sometimes, and that's why we made this page. So we could come look at all the wonderful things other people say about it, and get some warm fuzzies when we need them. If you have something to add to this, you can always email it in to email@example.com
"Turf Geography Club did a fabulous job at borrowing this visual style of Moonrise Kingdom, creating a game trailer that'd make any Khaki Scout proud… I totally dig the style of the whole thing."
Eli Hodapp, Touch Arcade
"Real life Monopoly mixed with Tiny Tower to create a unique and entertaining gaming experience. There are plenty of ways to achieve 'world domination' on your iPhone, but perhaps none are quite as literal as what you can do in Turf Geography Club."
Know Your Apps
"I know a couple of fellow obsessives who are playing so it has been very fun so far… the retro Ranger Rick/Smokey the Bear graphics are pretty cool indeed. So I am calling on all Foursquare obsessives to check out Turf."
Bill Hartnett, Method Shop
"The game is way different than anything you've played every before. 'Real world Monopoly' is the one-liner that founder Michael Tseng has used to describe the game. That description covers the basic premise of Turf, but under the surface you'll find a much more interesting and complex game."

This is
the maiden bloom of the best seedling from Barbara My Love X Cast of Characters. It is the most ruffled seedling I have ever grown so far. It bloomed four stalks with six to eight blossoms per stalk and has made a big healthy clump. I made a reciprocal cross between it and my rebloomer, Cloud Reflection. Today I planted a lot of those seeds that were already starting to grow in my refrigerator. It will be fun to see what happens. Francelle Edwards Glendale, AZ Zone 9

The quiet and solitude found in the back country and wetlands of south Florida has been shattered. Someone is using explosives to fish the ecologically fragile patch reefs in the shallow waters of Florida Bay, north of the Keys. Retired Marine Jesse McDermitt doesn't like explosions in his backyard.
Knowing his penchant for inserting himself in matters best left to the authorities, his friends withhold information from him about the destruction to the delicate, living corals. Jesse doesn't much like this, either.
He discovers that a vicious Miami street gang is involved when he and his daughter witness a gruesome double murder on remote Cape Sable. Ignoring his friends' advice, he digs for the truth. Why does a gang that deals strictly in lead, kilos, and large bricks of cash want to steal cheap boats in the Keys, just to poach a few bucks worth of gamefish?
What Jesse uncovers is far more sinister than he bargained for. A twisted psychopath is in control of the gang and trying to lure him out in the open. Jesse's instinct and training compel him to attack but conflicts with his newfound parental need to protect. Jesse and the ones he cares for most are caught in the crosshairs.
It's just another day in paradise in this sixth installment of the Jesse McDermitt series.
©2015 Wayne Stinnett (P)2016 Wayne Stinnett
I love espionage, legal, and detective thrillers but listen to most genres. Very frequent reviews. No plot spoilers! Please excuse my typos!
"Best novel yet in the Jesse McDermitt series!"
Book 6 in the wonderful Jesse McDermitt Caribbean Adventures series by Wayne Stinnett does not disappoint! Like other novels in the series this book is set in the middle Florida keys near Marathon. The characters are well developed and vivid. The suspense is intense. And Nick Sullivan's narration is perfect. Highly recommended, but start with Fallen Out, the first novel in the series. It only gets better from there.
"Hooked on Series"
I'm glad I found another great series. Sure makes driving easier. This series has lots of action and the characters real grow on you.
"Another super book"
Wayne Stinnett is able to spin quite the adventure, thriller, and mystery! There is almost no graphic violence or sexual scenes. I have come to love the characters, they are well developed and the audio book brings them to life! Great narrative.
"enjoyable but does require suspending disbelief"
easily enjoyed story, I've enjoyed the author's steady
improvement in his writing.
p.s. bonefish are bottom feeders and you don't 'tease' the fish during the casting process.

Office of Public Affairs
January 7, 2011
National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) Acting General Counsel Lafe Solomon announced the appointment of career attorney Leticia Pena as Deputy Regional Attorney of the NLRB's Regional Office in Denver, Colorado (Region 27). In her new position, Ms. Pena will assist Regional Director Wanda Pate Jones in the processing of representation and unfair labor practice cases filed under the National Labor Relations Act in Colorado, Wyoming, Utah and certain counties in Nebraska, Idaho and Montana.
Acting General Counsel Solomon said Ms. Pena is ideally suited for the job, given her extensive background as a labor lawyer in her nearly 21 years of service with the NLRB. "She is a skilled and dedicated attorney who has demonstrated talent as a problem solver and a mentor. I am confident she will provide strong leadership as a manager in the Denver Regional Office."
Ms. Pena is a graduate of the University of Colorado, where she majored in Spanish and Sociology. Following graduation from Antioch Law School in 1983, she entered the private practice of law.

text: The big sports day at UMaine started with a field hockey game against Michigan this afternoon and will end with the season opening football game against Albany tonight. Tim Throckmorton is hanging out on his old college campus and has both stories.We'll start with football. The UMaine team opens its season against Albany. Maine is ranked 22nd in the nation and to be honest its a game that they're supposed to win. Running back Jared Turcotte is back after missing all of last year with an injury.There are so many things we can do as an offence with me and Session and Warren starting at QB. And I don't think teams can defend everything we do.The goals are always lofty… win the conference…. make the playoffs.We always prefer to look at it that way what's the upside of everything each and every year has an upside of optimism. It starts with attitude and effort and I know I'm proud of that on this football team.Kickoff is at 7:00.Now to the field hockey game. One of the captains at Michigan, Zara Saydjari… one of the captains at Maine Courtney Veinotte. They were on the same field for the first time since they played together at Skowhegan high school.I'm very excited I think this is probably one of the biggest highlights of Zara's and my career is playing here at Maine.Michigan scored early in the 2nd half but maine tied it up with 20 minutes to play. Kelly Newton dribles in and scores unassisted to even the game at one.It stayed that way until the final :30 seconds. This time a beautiful goal from Kallie Aldus and UMaine walks away with a 2-1 win over Big 10 Michigan.

One of Sydneys best known and most colourful barristers is profiled on Australian Story this week.
Charles Waterstreet, also a film producer, writer and partner of a string of high profile women, reveals that he battled depression and alcoholism for many years.
'Saint Augustine was my role model. That is I could commit every sin imaginable and still be saved now Im waiting to be saved', he says.
He suffered a nervous breakdown in 1996 after being sued over a property dispute by his former partner, actor Kate Fitzpatrick.
After recovering, he used his legal skills to investigate the death of his mother in 1967, an event that scarred him. He discovered that she had died of chloral hydrate poisoning after being prescribed 10 times the recommended dose.
His recollections about growing up in a pub in Albury have been turned into two best-selling books.
Now the actor and director Richard Roxburgh is developing a television series based loosely on Charles Waterstreets life.

Float Alaska takes the headache out of Do-It-Yourself. We rent expedition quality rafting and wilderness camping equipment. We guide you through early planning and coordinate all logistics with our partners Papa Bear and KWA. We operate in Bethel Alaska with access to the Bristol Bay and Kuskokwim River areas.
We float 9 rivers with multiple branches providing you with many options. Our rivers range from non whitewater with easy floating to more challenging options for advanced rowers. The value and flexibility of a DIY trip are unsurpassed. While lodges and guide operations have some benefits our trips are filled with the reward and satisfaction only achieved by floating a river drainage from top to bottom on your own.
Build your group find your river and float for 5-12+ days surrounded by magnificent Alaska scenery. Experience incredible fishing for 5 species of salmon, leopard rainbow trout, dolly varden, arctic char grayling, lake trout and sheefish while floating through 40-140 miles of pure heaven. With our 30 years of experience on these rivers and your goals in mind we will fully prepare you for your wilderness adventure.
King Salmon cycles are often times unpredictable and confusing. All areas of Alaska don't move in sync with each other when it comes to salmon runs. While Salmon runs have seen little on the positive side in the Anchorage area, Bristol Bay has seen the turning point with very good numbers of returning king salmon, chum and sockeye making it into our river systems. The impact of commercial fishing has been limited and it appears the number of fish making it into the system has seen substantial increases. King Salmon subsistence fishing reached a level where locals can find some light. The sport fishers once again are floating through large groups of salmon bringing the needed nutrients into the system for healthy growth of local populations of fish.
I am reminded each year of how we are very much like the fish. Just like the fish we adapt to changing environments:
It is important to seek solitude and companionship, work and reward, and an understanding of our place in this world. Finding balance may not come easy, it may require considerable effort. It may not be achieved the first time you try. But it is out there. I challenge you to find it.
2015 was an extraordinarily low water year and kept the Bristol Bay Silver Salmon from entering many of our river systems until late season rains kicked in. As a result, fish concentrated into the last week of August and into September. Although there are always plenty of fish to be caught in the rivers, this led to some exceptionally hot late Silver action. In addition, many camps closed on the rivers due to difficult access in the mid and upper regions. Our floaters took advantage of the virtually evacuated rivers and meandered from top to bottom locating the concentrated silvers. Of course there was still plenty of action on rainbows, dolly grayling and char.
Because Float Alaska trips leave 7 days a week and return on any number of days it is quite possible to find these events both inside and outside of peak salmon runs. I will work hard to get you on the river with 2-4 days notice. Grab 3 friends and talk about this strategy and see what happens this summer.
A difficult to use strategy but often very rewarding strategy:
Because Float Alaska trips leave 7 days a week and return on any number of days it is quite possible to find these events both inside and outside of peak salmon runs. I will work hard to get you on the river with 2-4 days notice. Grab 3 friends and talk about this strategy and see what happens this summer.
If you have experience rafting in the lower 48 or up in Alaska the routine is the same. Fly to Bethel with your food, fishing gear, and personal items and we will provide the rest: bush flights and pickups, rafting, camping and cooking gear, river GPS and general info. We spend as little or as much time you require in planning your trip to meet your goals.
If you are a newcomer to this type of adventure, review our pre-planned trips to see what options are available. Our package trips can also be modified with days added on as needed for extra fishing, photography, hiking. Some of our rivers are perfect for rafters with limited experience while others provide excitement and adventure around every corner.

Yeah, I look at you and I think "I don't like you, but I have to pretend I do." You don't seem to catch my subtle hints of annoyance when you speak to me. When I look at you, I think, "your always there, and yet, I'm rude and a little arrogant towards you, I'm sorry. I just can't quite grasp how much you mean to me." Then I look at you and say to myself, "were supposed to be best mates. But of course, I'm a hindrance to you, aren't I? You act like you like me, but really you just want me to leave her to you, so I don't get any of my share until you say so." So when these people say shit to you, just ignore them. But inside, your heart twinges and your heads all fucked up and your minds all ablurr and you wonder if other people think of you that way! I want to go up to you and shout in your face, but I'm too cowardly. I want to go up to that person and beat him up until he's a bloody mess, sneering and cursing him to the ends of the earth. But You can't. Because I'm too cowardly. I wont do it simply because I've got a clean slate, and if I were to damage it, my home life would be a annoyance. I'm trying to meet all of your expectations but it's hard when I want to be me and go around wearing that shirt you all think is weird. I say I don't care, but I do. I do fucking care. So it's embarassing when I way it's not. It's sad when I deny my pain. Don't you all understand? My brain feels like it's gonna frikin explode with all this stuff I need to do. And when that certain person yells at me for doing one mistake, I lash out, mad. Fucking insane with all this stuff that fills my mind. Because if I do one thing, another person calls me a liar and if I do another thing it happens again. So I'm a liar, so what? So I pretend, so what? I can't help it. I'm just like that. Because you made me a liar. I wanted to change my mind, but your expectations are all far too high, you all have different opinions and I just can't keep up! Your driving me fucking crazy and it kills me. I'm withering away, twisted in a web of my own stories that aren't even true. Yeah, you made me into this thing. I don't even know myself anymore I've lied so much. I'm not the person you think I am. Please, just accept it. I wish I could scream this in the middle of the schools' campus! Kicking and slapping anyone who tries to stop my cries of releif. I want to finally become the lost person inside of the locked chambers of my heart! This is what happens when you get too close to too many people. It rips you away from reality and your thrown into a world of lies and snickers and thoughts of fear and you worry and you lie to escape the sneers of the people your close to.
Yeah, this fucks you up and you can't stop it. But then your there. You think you know every single little thing about me. You don't. You've only touched the tiny tip of the iceberg. And believe me, you aren't allowed ant further.

There is an appealing lightness about many of the new launches but there is a fine line between subtle and bland. 'Lighter fragrances are popular but people want to smell a scent that they recognise,' says Angela Creasy, head of beauty at Liberty. 'Marc Jacobs' latest perfume, Blush, for example, has a clear jasmine scent.'
Prada's long-awaited debut perfume may be demurely packaged in a discreet pink box but it blossoms on the skin into a hot, heady aroma that is distinctive, yet delicate enough to appeal to modern noses.
The label alone makes this the fashionista's choice, while spicy notes of amber, patchouli, benzoin and sandalwood will appeal to anyone who likes the challenge of a grown-up fragrance that's full-bodied and multi-layered.
You won't find Christian Dior's latest men's colognes (the first the house has launched since
1947) in the beauty halls but in the Dior Homme boutiques within Harrods and Selfridges.
Created with input from menswear designer Hedi Slimane, their clean, oldfashioned formulae appeal to women as well as men. They include Cologne Blanche, a sweet orange blossom and vanilla scent; the spicy Eau Noire, which blends lavender, cedar and vanilla; and Bois d'Argent, with notes of iris, myrrh and patchouli.
Other new arrivals include Versace's Crystal Noir, a sweet gardenia scent inside a very
blinging bottle; Vivienne Westwood's full-blown, rosescented Anglomania; and Paul Smith's London, which contrasts slick, modern packaging with a swinging Sixties-inspired scent. Hip dads will love it.
When it comes to Christmas shopping, though, the old ones are often the best. Chanel launched No 5 in 1921 and its iconic status is appealing to a new generation of consumers with a new ad campaign featuring Nicole Kidman.
Of the young contenders, Agent Provocateur's signature fragrance, launched in 2000, is tipped as one to look out for. 'It isn't as sweet as many women's fragrances and has a classic vetiver base,' explains Creasy. Sounds good. And, unlike vouchers, it won't look as if you bought it at the last minute.
Agent Provocateur eau de parfum, from £39 for 50ml. Blush, by Marc Jacobs, from £49 for 50ml. Bois d'Argent, Cologne Blanche and Eau Noire, by Christian Dior, from £55 for 125ml. Chanel No 5 eau de parfum, from £46 for 50ml.
Prada Eau de Parfum Intense, £80 for 50ml. Paul Smith London, from £24 for 30ml. Versace Crystal Noir, £44 for 50ml. Vivienne Westwood's Anglomania, £35 for 30ml.

Texas native Jordan Spieth wins Masters at 21 with record-tying score
Jordan Spieth romped to his first major championship with a record-tying performance at the Masters on Sunday, shooting an 18-under 270 to become the first wire-to-wire winner of the green jacket since 1976.
No one got closer than three shots of the lead all day. Spieth shot a 2-under 70 to hold off Justin Rose and Phil Mickelson.
Rose, the 2013 U.S. Open champion playing in the final group of the major for the first time, and Mickelson were four shots back.
No one else was closer than six.
Spieth became the first Masters champion to lead after every round since Raymond Floyd 39 years ago, and only the fifth in the history of the tournament. And it was a bit of redemption after he played in the final group a year ago making his Augusta debut, building a two-shot lead but fading to a runner-up finish behind Bubba Watson.

As we went on, the girls and some of the guys started bending down and getting up in quick succcession. It was then i realised it was to 'nail' out the leeches stuck on their legs. It was quite surprising to see leeches in summer, but given the dampness on the surface their presence was reasonable.
A few steps away , Anand raised his hand to indicate us to be silent. And so did we.
He walked slowly on to his left , and whispered it was a ghar.
There was a stone wall just in front of us and by standing on top of it we all took a view of the Ghar.Just as i expected one of our friends jumped from it and not only us , the Ghar also heard a 'THUD!!" . We should consider ourselves really lucky because the Ghar din't run towards us , it actually ran opposite to the direction we stood. But that's the beauty of a 'group' isn't it?? Theres is always something happening.
It was almost half the day done and naturally we were hungry.Our guide Rajamani lead us to a 'in-construction' building , and allowed us to have our lunch on the terrace.We quickly latched on to our rice packets and started gazing. We then collected the trash and started from that beautiful woody , greenish place.Always refreshing to see it 'green' especially in summer.
We reached the topslip- parambikulam road around 5 and waited for our bus which was supposed to take us to the elephant camp.After munching some snacks and tasting a cup of tea, we left to the elephant camp.The momment we got down we heard the elephants honking.
I was quitely observing the elephants and tried to relate with the facts given by mr.karthik and anand. It was surprising , at the same time amazing to see the largest living animal on the land actually submits itself for a small stick. An 'awe of its majesty' , yes that's the phrase i can use here to describe how i felt when i saw the mammal so close. Though there were multiple reminders from the gaurds to stay a few yards away from the animal , there were some 'tourists' who took photographs standing so close. With some reaching an extent of holding its tusk. when are we 'selfish' 'idiotic' 'senseless' human-beings gonna learn to follow the rules . Speaking of Indians, first thing we infer seeing a rule or a protocol is a loop-hole.
Well , considering the genere of the essay , Lets go back to what happened on the eve of may19th.
We took our bus back to the dorm . It was almost like night safari , and each one of us clinged on to the windows expecting a sight. As we were eagerly browsing through the windows , there was a sudden flash which came out under the tree. Someone quickly shouted ' no flash guys' . Rajamani calmed us down saying it was the camera , to track the movements of animals in the night.
We reached our dorm , took a shower and geared up to hunt the canteen. It was quite a dinner - courtesy the forest dept. cooks. It was pleasure-some sitting out and letting the cool breeze brush our face.Mr. karthik then shared his experiences as avid trekker and an effective forest conservationist.He also explained us the importance of forest consercation So, that was the end of our first day.
'GUYS..GET UP!!' shouted vadivel the next day morning. I heard someone saying that they saw a ghar right next to our door very early in the morning. The previous night I was really disappinted that ,we are not allowed to stay 'outdoor' .Which certainly is not 'CTC's' way. It was only then i realised why we were not allowed to sleep outside.
The day's plan was to reach parambikulam forest check post early and take the first safari bus. As per the plan , we reached the checkpost much earlier than its respective officials and waited for them to arrive.Mean while , we had a good timepass at the gate . Pulling each others' legs, chatting , photosessions etc,.The forest officials arrived and let us through the gate . We then got into a bus and started our safari.
A few meteres away we happened to see a peacock just swiveling around with its wings unleashed . How many times in your life can you see that??
On the way, We spotted the 'spotted deers' . yes lots of them . But mighty sight of them all was the elephant which came out of the bush to quench its thirst.
We reached the parambikulam settlement area to break our fast. Around 12 We moved on to our dorm and got our rest. It was now time for a luch . Most of us were very reluctant to have lunch as the break fast was reasonalbly late. Because there was no way of packing our lunch , we had to pack it in our tummy.
After our lunch we took a walk through the kariyanshola , which is breeding ground for various kinds of animals.We were actually looking for Horn-bill , a mighty bird and a rare customer. But we couldn't spot her in the wild though some of us claimed to have seen . A rare customer she remained till the end.
We were about to exit and then we spotted a malabar white frog. It was said that it can clear a greater distance in single jump. I liked that tiny creature . Particularly it's eyes.
That was the end of the day as well as the trip. I've done moderate to tough treks but this was a different experience. An experience i liked. May be because I'm a photo-freak.Thanks to Durai, Vadi, Rakesh, Anand and karthik for organising this Jungle safari. Two days went in a giffy. Yet I met some wonderful people managed to get some new friends. Therefore, I would call it 'A Walk To Remember'....

Top slip – a rendezvous with wildlife
"The shade of each leaf,
The moisture on each grain of sand;
Every little hill fold that you see;
Gives to the river that flows to the landmasses;
Gives life to all our lands"
- Conserve Nature
A touching phrase found on the roadside wall at Parambikulam reserved forest.
This trip to Top slip, Pollachi was utterly different from serious treks we do since it was formulated to implant the seeds of "conservation" in the minds of participating nature loving souls. This trip gave us few insights about animal behaviour, trekker's conduct in wild life sensitive areas, inspiring true stories from a wildlife conservationist, observing the beautiful peacock's dance, watching the spotted deer's graze, understanding the pug marks of wild animals. It had so many varieties and different flavours that a nature enthusiast would have sought for.
Watching the deer's graze on a peaceful morning:
A peaceful morning with the mountain birds breaking the silence in the air, the chill breeze kissing the early raisers, trees dancing to the tunes of the wind, the Anamalai peaks covered with thick fog and the sky becoming chilli reddish. We saw that spectacular herd of spotted deer's along with their kith and kin grazing the grasses. A very rare sight for a city dweller like me, I enjoyed clicking pictures and watching them graze for almost 30 minutes before some noise came inside the bushes, which chased the deer's into the woods.
The protector of deer's:
This black little ancestor of human beings is considered as the protector of deer's from predators. Nilgiri langur sitting on the top of trees alerts deer's that unmindfully stands below grazing, unaware of the predators. It emits a unique sound and alerts the deer's about the presence of strangers and predators in the vicinity. See the below photo carefully and check how the Nilgri Langur alerted the Sambar deer.
The Great Kannimara Teak:
The great Kannimara teak tree honoured by the central government with 'Mahavrisksha Ouraskar" award and around 450 years old stands tall in the Parambikulam wildlife sanctuary. Certainly the largest, tallest and most revered teak tree I have seen or heard so far. Hugging its trunk I realised how insignificant is mankind in front of nature, quite a unique feeling.
I had goose bumps watching the Peacocks dance:
It was 2nd day early morning we entered the Parambikulam reserved forest in the forest department's vehicle. We were the early ones into the forest welcomed by herds and herds of deer's on both the side of the road. Unable to believe my eyes and digest the happiness what I saw was absolute exquisiteness. Yes, I saw with my jaw opened the beautiful national bird opening its wings and dancing. It was a glee watching them dance to the tunes of nature. Wish I had all the time in this world to watch this magnificence unfolding before me.
Jumbo quenching its thirst:
Unable to come out of the beautiful sight of the peacock's dancing we proceeded ahead just to watch a lonely elephant entering into the water, quenching its thirst and disappearing into the woods. With the bamboo trees at the background, huge mass of water body in the front, the jumbo seen drinking water was elegance personified.
Wild boars – the cleaner of forest:
Wild boars seen in great numbers act as a cleaner of the forest. I remember one incident that Mr. Anand recollected from his experience about how 10 wild boars cleaned the remains of a dead elephant within a week. Indeed, the forest and the other wild life should be indebted to wild boars for their assistance in keeping the forest clean.
Mr. Parambikulam of the wildlife Sanctuary:
The Indian Gaur or popularly called as Indian Bison seems to be one the most regular member of the Sanctuary gymnasium. With muscles projecting from every possible part of its body Mr. Bison is a pure vegetarian.
Since it is the human being who wants to venture inside wildlife territory and wish to watch them and take pictures. Whomsoever it may be, keep in mind we are basically trespassing into their territory and it is our duty to follow certain basic Do's and Don'ts.
Do's and Don'ts when you venture inside a wildlife territory:
- Wear only green or brown coloured dress and avoid wearing any flashy colours. Elephants are colour blind and they may approach towards white colours.
- Wear full-length dry-fit trousers and t-shirts as the same could minimise the effect of insect and reptiles.
- Avoid using perfume or body or pain killer sprays since, they spread fast in the air and reaches the wildlife before you can spot them.
- When you are in a wild life territories never leave the group and venture alone. Always obey the instructions of the guide.
- Avoid shouting or screaming if you spot an animal and you can take as many photos one wants maintaining silence.
- It is advisable to keep your eyes and ears alert and look out for animal movements while you venture inside animal territory.
- Don't litter or throw plastic anywhere, it may have serious consequence on the life of wildlife eating plastics.

Just like most of Lauder's other eye creams, this has an intriguing formula that supplies several good emollients and numerous anti-aging ingredients (the same ones they include in their facial moisturizers, which means you're not getting anything special by purchasing a product labeled "eye cream").
What's sad (and happens all too often with Lauder's eye creams) is that many of the ingredients will break down due to the jar packaging. That means you're not getting the anti-aging benefits that the skin anywhere on your face needs, making this eye cream much less appealing. Please see More Info for further details on the problems jar packaging presents.
As for the claims, this eye cream doesn't contain anything capable of lifting skin, at night or any other time. Many of the ingredients can stimulate healthy collagen production, but the jury is out as to how well they stimulate elastin production. This is because we have a finite number of elastin fibers; once they're damaged (think of a rubber band being stretched to the breaking point), the body doesn't generate new elastin, so the best we can hope for is elastin repair. As anyone who's tried to patch together a snapped rubber band knows, it never goes back to its original strength.
The "luminizing optics" Lauder refers to as being able to blur the look of lines is just a fancy way to describe shine. Shine isn't skin care, it's makeup, and most will find that applying shine to wrinkles tends to emphasize them rather than downplay them.
If you decide to check this out (even though you don't need an eye cream; see More Info to find out why) the formula is best for dry skin.
More Info:
Regarding the jar packaging—it's a problem because all plant extracts, vitamins, antioxidants, and other state-of-the-art ingredients (which this formula contains in spades) break down in the presence of air, so once a jar is opened and lets the air in, these important ingredients begin to deteriorate. Jars also are unsanitary because you're dipping your fingers into them with each use, adding bacteria, which further deteriorate the beneficial ingredients.
Most eye creams aren't necessary. That's either because they are poorly formulated, contain nothing special for the eye area, or come in packaging that won't keep key ingredients stable. Just because the product is labeled as an eye cream doesn't mean it's good for your eye area; in fact, many can actually make matters worse. There is much you can do to improve signs of aging around your eyes. Any product loaded with antioxidants, skin-repairing ingredients, skin-lightening ingredients, anti-inflammatory ingredients, and effective emollients will work wonders and those ingredients don't have to come from a product labeled as an eye cream.
You would be shocked how many eye creams lack even the most basic ingredients to help skin. For example, most eye creams don't contain sunscreen. During the day that is a serious problem because it leaves the skin around your eyes vulnerable to sun damage and this absolutely will make dark circles, puffiness, and wrinkles worse! Whatever product you put around your eye area, regardless of what it is labeled, must be well formulated and appropriate for the skin type around your eyes! That may mean you need an eye cream, but you may also do just as well applying your regular facial moisturizer around your eyes.
As for the lifting claims, many skin-care products claim they can firm and lift skin, but none of them work, at least not to the extent claimed. A face-lift-in-a-bottle isn't possible, but with the right mix of products, you will see firmer skin that has a more lifted appearance—and that's exciting! To gain these youthful benefits, you must protect your skin from any and all sun damage every day, use an AHA (glycolic acid or lactic acid) or BHA (salicylic acid) exfoliant, and use products that have a wide range of antioxidants and skin-repairing ingredients. This combination of products (remember, one product doesn't do it all) has extensive research showing how each can significantly improve many of the signs of aging, such as firming skin, reducing wrinkles and brown spots, and eliminating dullness. You'll find them on our list of Best Anti-Aging/Anti-Wrinkle Products.
This intensely nourishing formula is empowered with both our exclusive Photo-Activated and Nocturnal Lift Complexes to help skin boost its natural collagen and elastin production. Luminizing optics instantly blur the look of fine, dry lines. You'll see the entire eye area looking firmer, brighter, smoother-younger than ever.

Estee Lauder At-A-Glance
The history of Estee Lauder goes back to 1946, when the woman who created the brand (and for whom it is named) began selling creams and lotions made by her chemist uncle. From its humble beginnings, Estee Lauder has grown to become a multibillion-dollar company whose products are sold all over the world and advertised in just about every fashion and women's lifestyle magazine available.
The biggest compliment we can pay to the venerable Estee Lauder line is that their moisturizers and serums can largely be described as state-of-the-art. Though fragrance is often intrusive, but when it comes to formulary excellence culminating in products that give skin what it needs to function optimally, they are tough to beat.
When it comes to makeup, by and large the brand also exceeds expectations. Though there are some under-performing products (you can read more about them in our individual reviews), Lauder has a number of excellent options, most notably its lip colors.

How can the Knowledge Bank make development more effective?
Like all other development agencies, the World Bank has few systematic ways to measure, track or even recognize the effectiveness of its work. Instead, stakeholders are more likely to insist on fiduciary oversight and lending volumes; management is more accountable for meeting lending targets and upholding administrative requirements than meeting development goals; and approvals of Bank projects and country partnership strategies – not surprisingly – are rarely based on explicit analyses of their development effectiveness.
None of this is new. Enhancing "development effectiveness" emerged as a key concern in a recent review of the World Bank's governance structure, for example, but similar concerns have been expressed at least since the Wapenhans Report twenty years ago. What is new is the energy surrounding current efforts to put development effectiveness at the center of Bank operations. But doing this means confronting the essential problem that there is no cookbook for development. Whether we care about "big" development – tripling incomes per capita in Malawi over the next 15 years – or "little" development – improving health outcomes for rural women in Orissa this year by expanding access to cooking stoves – some things we think work actually do work, at least under certain conditions; other things we only think work, when in fact we have no evidence either way; and we are fairly sure that even all the things we know (or suspect) work will only get us part-way towards our development goals.

Currency Risks Could Grow in Emerging Markets
Corporations could be entering a new phase of currency volatility. Emerging-market currencies in countries such as Argentina, India and China could have a bigger impact on earnings in the coming years.
"In the very long term there's a good reason to invest in emerging markets, however in the next few years I think we'll see a lot of volatility," said Bilal Hafeez, Deutsche Bank AG's global head of foreign exchange strategy.
Over the past year, companies have seen sharp devaluations in Argentina and Venezuela and a slump in the Indian rupee. Last month, the Chinese yuan hit a six-month low against the dollar amid concerns of an economic slowdown in that country. And fluctuations against the yuan could widen because China's central bank this month loosened daily trading limits, allowing the currency to move up or down by 2% daily.
"We're in a very unique time from a China standpoint and that's going to cause some greater heartburn for corporates over the next couple of years," said Andy Gage, vice president of strategic market development for FiREapps, a foreign exchange risk management company.
While companies in the past may have only hedged their top currency exposures, some are already looking to hedge smaller exposures in emerging markets.
"There has been a general tendency by corporates not to hedge their currency exposure in emerging markets, because there's this notion that if [those countries] are growing then almost necessarily their currencies should appreciate," Mr. Hafeez said. In a more volatile world, that may not be true any longer he said.
Some companies will respond by hedging more or trying to raise prices, said Amit Singh, assistant treasurer for risk management at Pfizer
"If a firm is in an enviable industry where they can pass on the pricing increase… that's great and you don't need to hedge, but that's likely not the case for most of us today," Mr. Singh said.
Danone told investors last month that currency volatility in emerging markets was increasing expenses, forcing it to work on cost reductions and price increases. The company, for example, has already passed along some price increases in Brazil, where the real fell 13% against the dollar last year.

Before our flight on the 27th, we visited my sister Lyn in Pasig. Two of my other sisters who live in Cavite and Payatas went there for us to meet and see each other before we leave. They were not able to come home in Donsol during our visit. It was hard to see them for just a couple of hours and then say goodbye because I miss them so much. If I can just provide for all my siblings, I will definitely do it because I hate seeing them in their situations but I don't have the means. I can only pray for them that may God give them strength to carry on the challenges in life. I tried to set a good example to them before but they chose different direction. Oh crap, I don't like crying wahhhhhh! My sisters are very skinny and looks older than their age.

Several of the significant media streaming and also video streaming technologies would consist of Microsoft Windows Media Technologies, RealSystem G2 of RealNetwork and VDO. The method used by Microsoft uses the conventional video MPEG compression algorithm, while the others utilize proprietary algorithms.
Video streaming is normally sent with from some pre-recorded video files, however could be dispersed as a part of live program feeds. During a live program, video signals are converted into pressed digital signals, which are after that transferred from special web mobdro app servers, which are able to do multicasting, as they send the very same documents to lots of individuals simultaneously.
Media streaming would be video and also audio which are transferred online though a continual fashion with the use of data packets. For the most efficient and effective reception of media streaming, a type of broadband innovation like DSL or a cable television modem would certainly be called for.

The names Dolbeer and Carson are as imprinted on Humboldt County's history as Vance, Minor and the many other European settlers who contributed to the development of the North Coast.
The Timber Heritage Association -- a nonprofit focusing on sharing information about and appreciation of the role of timber, logging and railroads on the area's development -- recently received a very big gift from the state railroad museum, the Dolbeer & Carson locomotive No. 3.
The engine operated in the Elk River Valley, Timber Heritage Association President Marcus Brown said. The company's cookhouse was located at the site now home to the Boy Scout camp at the end of Elk River Road.
The locomotive had been stored by the state museum in Sacramento, however space is limited and museum staff recently offered the engine to the Timber Heritage Association, free of charge. The only challenge is getting the big bruiser home -- a trucking expense estimated at $5,000, according to Brown.
As the state railroad museum is anxious to clear the area, the fundraising effort has a short timeline, but it's off to a good start with the support of a major donor, he said.
At the same time, the association is charged with making a minimum of $40,000 in repairs to Humboldt Bay Harbor, Recreation and Conservation District buildings it leases in Samoa.
The community can help with the efforts at the Timber Heritage Association's annual dinner and auction Saturday at the Fortuna River Lodge. The dinner, catered by CC Market of Rio Dell, includes a selection of tri-tip, chicken corden bleu and tortellini. Dinner is served at 6:30 p.m., with a no-host bar opening at 5 p.m. Admission is $45 per person or $360 for a table of 8. Tickets will be available at the door, but organizers ask those planning to attend to make reservations at 443-2957.
A full slate of silent and live auctions await bids. Among those, Brown said, is a two-night stay at the Little River Inn, south of Mendocino. The item includes lodging, two meals and golf complete with use of a golf cart.
The association will also have historic photographs and informational displays set up for review and will sell books on local history.
For more information, visit the Timber Heritage Association's Web site at www.timberheritage.org.

text: PSC testimony: Power line plan lacking By Ken Ward Jr. December 28, 2007 Story Share Allegheny Energy didn't list environmental protections that have been successful in other projects when it filed an application for its proposed $1.3 billion power line across northern West Virginia, according to testimony filed with the state Public Service Commission.Among other things, Allegheny did not include strong language to limit clear cutting along the transmission line right-of-way, according to testimony filed in the case over the Trans-Allegheny Interstate Line, or TrAIL.PSC consumer advocate Byron Harris wants the commission to require Allegheny to add a list of additional restrictions that have been used in other power line cases.Harris cited a 1979 PSC case in which longtime commission consumer advocate Billy Jack Gregg won a list of tough restrictions on an Appalachian Power transmission line project.For example, the PSC required Appalachian to "reduce the amount of clearing ... to the minimum required for line construction and line maintenance" and to use "selective clearing techniques."But in its TrAIL project, Allegheny proposes the transmission line's 200-foot right-of-way "will be cleared to a nominal width of 150 feet centered on the right-of-way or as deemed necessary for the safe and reliable operation of the line."Harris told the PSC that this amount of clear cutting was not necessary and would be harmful to the environment."Clear cutting the entire right of way will not only have negative visual impacts, but will also increase the potential for sedimentation and erosion during construction and during the years subsequent to the line being placed in operation," Harris said in prepared testimony.The consumer advocate's views were among the thick stacks of testimony and expert reports that have been submitted in response to Allegheny's application for commission approval for TrAIL. Allegheny has until Jan. 4 to reply. Lawyers for all sides are spelling out their arguments in anticipation of the Jan. 9 start of formal PSC evidentiary hearings in what is one of the biggest and most controversial commission cases in years.Allegheny, through a company called TrAIL Co., is seeking PSC approval to build the West Virginia portion of the 500-kilovolt line to carry electricity from southwestern Pennsylvania through West Virginia and into northern Virginia.Power company officials say the line is needed to provide cheap and reliable power to big Eastern cities and their growing suburbs. But the project has drawn intense opposition from hundreds of West Virginians, who fear it will mar scenic views, lower their property values and otherwise damage rural communities.Hundreds of residents turned out to oppose the project at five PSC public hearings in the affected area, which includes parts of Monongalia, Preston, Tucker, Grant, Hardy and Hampshire counties. Commissioners must decide if the power line "will economically, adequately and reliably contribute to meeting the present and anticipated requirements for electric power of the customers served" and if it is "desirable for present and anticipated reliability of service for electric power for its service area or region."The PSC also must decide if the project "will result in an acceptable balance between reasonable power needs and reasonable environmental factors." So far, the PSC staff has recommended the commission reject the Allegheny permit application.One staff expert, economist Michael J. Ileo, testified the power line would cost West Virginians $41.5 million in reduced property values.Harris, the PSC consumer advocate, testified the PSC should require additional protections to limit the effects of the power line on wildlife and vegetation, and to improve the accountability of line maintenance contractors, avoid the use of herbicides in maintenance programs, and reduce noise and radio and television interference.Also, Harris recommended that landowners along the power line route who are forced to give the company rights-of-way be given free electricity for as long as the transmission line remains on their land."This would provide landowners who have lost the unrestricted right to use their land a continuing benefit from the line that is directly related to the purpose of the line," Harris testified.In separate testimony filed on behalf of power line opponents, environmental consultant Evan Hansen explained a variety of ways that the project would damage the Three Fork Creek watershed in Preston, Monongalia and Taylor counties. "Building the towers, access roads, and right-of-way would cause soil erosion and sedimentation of streams and wetlands, which in turn would harm trout, amphibians and other aquatic life," Hansen testified.Lew McDaniel of the Laurel Run Community Watershed Association testified that a variety of impacts from the power line would affect the local environment and citizens for a long time to come."The power line, if approved, would stand for 30 years, which means 30 years of totally out of place rights-of-way, viewshed-ruining towers, changed plant growth, altered animal behavior, crackling cables, and under the right conditions, electrical discharge that can shock a person," McDaniel testified."Permanent destruction of the intrinsic nature of the watershedto avoid purported grid brownouts that can be rectified in a few hours or days, and are thus temporary inconveniences for those affected by them,is not reasonable."Nor do I find it reasonable to sacrifice increasingly rare rural areas such as the watershed for the sake of growth in other parts of the United States."

Surrounded by a national preserve, this 3 bedroom/3 bathroom villa has all of the modern luxuries for a perfect vacation including luxury linens and bedding, beautiful furnishings, wood burning stove for cold winter nights, fully stocked kitchen, formal dining room, sattelite tv and internet. Experience nature at its best with beautiful gardens in the summer time and snowy landscapes in the winter with local wildlife stopping by for daily visits. Autumn foliage is spectacular and watching the sunset from the back deck is something special. Only 90 minutes from NYC by car or train (Metro North to Grand Central) and about 30 miles to West Point and New Paltz, other attractions are our world renowned wineries, skiing, snow tubing, antiquing and ice cave exploration in the Shawngunk Ridge. Our town is surrounded by the Wallkill River great for fishing and white water rafting. Your rental includes a meet and greet by our property manager as well as 24 hour concierge services.
Mount Peter Skiing: Mount Peter is located in Southern New York in the heart of the Hudson Valley, just a short drive away. We are known for many things, like our famous Free Beginner Ski and Snowboard School, our great snowmaking and expert grooming, an awesome terrain park, our top-notch racing and development programs, and our family atmosphere.
Did you know that Mount Peter was started in 1936 by Macy's Department Store to show off and sell their ski fashion? The mountain that started so many years ago as a savvy marketing tool has grown to be a cherished place for people to fall in love with winter. Mount Peter - known as "The Friendly One" – is the oldest operating ski area in New York State, and one of the few remaining family operated ski areas in the country.
Snow Tubing: December 26, 2010 —March 02, 2011
The Orange County Snow Tubing & Winter Sports Park opens for the season on December 26. The park is situated in the Thomas Bull Memorial Park, Route 416, Montgomery.
The 800 foot snow tubing hill features two cable lifts, ten groomed lanes and specially designed tubes built for a speedy, thrilling ride.
The park also features an ice skating rink, sledding hill and cross-country ski trails. People must provide their own equipment for these free activities.
The Graham M. Skea Lodge, located on top of the tubing hill, offers beautiful views of the Hudson Valley and features a concession/restaurant and large stone fireplace.
Birthday party packages and youth group bookings are available for snow tubing.
Weather conditions may affect the opening date. For more information, please contact the Orange County Department of Parks.
Ice Caves: One of the most exciting and accessible hiking destinations in New York are the Ice Caves in Sam's Point Preserve, which are, thankfully, meticulously guarded by the Nature Conservancy. Containing ice caves in the depths of its crevasses, this is the greatest open fault in the United States (known geologically as the Ellenville Fault.) The strange environment consisting of globally-rare, ridge-top dwarf pines, huckleberry and blueberry fields, beautiful flowers, deep crevasses and phenomenal views seems to transport the hiker to places more arid than lush New York… perhaps the craggy, dry southwest. The 5,400 acre preserve is located atop the world-class rock climbing Shawangunk (the "Gunks") range, which is close to the wonderful college town of New Paltz, where you can find lots of good restaurants, shopping and lodging. The area was formed on the ocean floor about a half-billion years ago when a layer of shale formed and was pushed up into the air over time.
We really enjoyed our stay at Mountain Villa. The house was clean and the location was very quiet. Rick was very accommodating to a special request. We look forward to staying there again!
From the first night we hit the comfortable beds and felt like we were home. It was the perfect size for our group needs, had all the amenities provided and the owner was always available in a flash! We needed a blender for a recipe and that same day when it was discovered to be missing, the owner purchased a brand new appliance and brought it straight over. It is definitely a sanctuary in the great outdoors surrounded by wildlife. As any family when there are kids you are always keeping them fed and the kitchen was perfect for cooking and even entertaining. We had a lot of distance to travel when we went out for the day because of where our friends were located or who we had to see but it was great knowing we could "come home" and relax.
Highly recommended home ....
This home was lovely. We were able to be close to everything we wanted to see and visit family. Loved being in the woods and seeing the deer.
Thank you for the wonderful accommodations!! We enjoyed our stay so much. This place is amazingly peaceful and was very clean. It was also nice to have a kitchen, we definitely took advantage of that amenity! We did a lot of visiting between Brooklyn, NYC, Tuxedo, Patterson, and Wallkill. After all the touring it was a very comfortable wonderful place to come back to.
Rick & Heidi, Thank you so much for the use of your home. We spent 7 nights there and there were 8 of us. It was clean and had a well stocked kitchen with plenty of towels for the bathrooms. It is a nice quiet location with a big yard so on our last day we set up a net and played badmitton and volleyball. We saw deer in the backyard. We were there to visit the Watchtower facilities in Patterson and Tuxedo and Walkill. The location was great! We even went into the city twice! We enjoyed our stay very much. Thank you for being so helpful and accommodating!!
In the midst of nature with over 30 acres of national wildlife preserve surrounding the villa yet just 90 minutes from NYC. World renowned antique shops and exquisite wineries in the surrounding areas within minutes of the villa. Great hiking, nature trails and bike trails right outside the front door. A short 5 minute stroll will take you to a nearby stream that runs in from the Wallkill river, perfect for exploring or fishing. 30 mile drive to West Point in the south and New Paltz in the north, the villa is in the center of it all, close to Mt Peter's ski mountain and snow tubing and a short drive to the outlet shopping mall. Beautiful walk-thru gardens in the summer and spectacular autumn foliage and snowfalls in the winter.
Mount Peter is just a short 15 minute ride away for skiing as well as Montgomery State Park just 5 minutes down the road for all day snow tubing. We are 20 minutes from West Point and New Paltz and just 90 minutes or less to NYC either by car or train.

In A Nightmare
In a nightmare,
I'm looking at the stars.
I'm seeing them there,
as they are
but then they vanish,
wiped out, dead.
Cold black sky,
no stars
I'm alone and I can't see
colours faded, darkness around:
stars are gone,
Fire splits the sky,
stolen from the stars,
beauty turned around,
Pain from Healing,
Terror from Calm,
Death from Life.
Nightmare from Dream.
