The Lladro Porcelain company was founded in 1953 by three brothers, Juan, Jose and Vicente Lladro, in the village of Almassera near Valencia. Starting with items such as vases and jugs, it wasn't until 1956 that they started producing the sculptures for which they are now most famous. Enthusiasm for the items produced by the Lladro brothers saw their small workshop expand several times until eventually they moved to Tavernes Blanques in 1958.
Among their wide variety of quality sculptures are darling figurines portraying young individuals. This sculpture by Francisco Catala is entitled "Girl Graduate", issued in 1984 and retired in 2008. It portrays a young girl wearing her blue/gray cap in gown and clutching her diploma with both hands held against her chest. Having just received her diploma she has returned to her chair and has a relaxed, relieved look of contentment and accomplishment on her face.
The figurine measures 10" in height, 5" from front to back and 3 1/2" in width. Stamped in dark blue with the Lladro "Bellflower" and "Lladro - Hand Made in Spain - Daisa 1983" with the copyright symbol. It carries the incised pattern number "1599" and "F19F". The original box is not available. There are no cracks, chips or repairs; as near mint as you will find. A darling Lladro sculpture that would make a wonderful memento to that new graduate in your life.

The story of the financial crisis is turning into a comic book: just like in Bat Man or any other serial, the villains keep coming back even after they've been defeated.
Through the 1990's, former Federal Reserve chairman Alan Greenspan, with considerable help from the Clinton administration, gave Wall Street the opportunity to regulate itself. That experiment, based to a considerable degree on Mr. Greenspan's ideology, failed.
Yet there's Mr. Greenspan on the top of Wednesday's comment page in the Financial Times criticizing the Dodd-Frank Act, which is the current U.S. government's attempt to tighten the regulatory screws that Mr. Greenspan, former U.S. Treasury secretary Robert Rubin and others loosened in the 1990's.
"The problem is that regulators, and for that matter everyone else, can never get more than a glimpse at the internal workings of the simplest of modern financial systems," Mr. Greenspan writes. "Today's competitive markets, whether we seek to recognize it or not, are driven by an internal version of Adam Smith's 'invisible hand' that is unredeemably opaque."
Meanwhile, over in Europe, another group of people deemed responsible for bringing down the global economy continues to wreak havoc: the credit rating agencies. Portugal appears to be sliding toward a bailout as its borrowing costs climb in the wake of a series of credit downgrades.
The peaceful citizens of the European Union are upset at the rating agencies. The EU disagrees with the downgrades. But even though the agencies blew it by assigning some of their highest marks to some of the dodgiest assets that Wall Street has ever put up for sale, financial markets continue to be swayed by the credit raters. This study by economists at the International Monetary Fund argues that sovereign rating announcements on countries such as Greece have ripple effects across the EU, suggesting firms such as Standard & Poor's have the power to destabilize financial markets. "Interestingly, financial markets throughout the euro area have been under pressure although credit-rating actions were concentrated in few countries such as Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Portugal and Spain," the study said.
Win Thin, global head of emerging markets strategy at Brown Brothers Harriman, described the credit rating agencies as "flailing" in a note on Wednesday. "S&P cut Portugal one notch from BBB to BBB-, and comes just five days after it cut the rating from A- to BBB," Mr. Thin wrote. "Did things really materially change over the past five days? It's time for a reminder of what the agencies are capable of doing when they have been caught behind the curve." Mr. Thin goes on to recall the Asian financial crisis, when S&P reduced Korea's rating by 10 notches over two months at the end of 1997. "To us, the Asian crisis was when the credibility of the ratings agencies went out the window, as investors found out painfully just how far off the agencies had really been," Mr. Thin said.
It should be said that as time goes on, the narrative of the financial crisis could change. Mr. Greenspan, once a hero, could well become a hero again. In the Financial Times, he asks a provocative question: what if financial complexity has a link to economic growth? The former Fed chief notes that finance's share of gross domestic product increased considerably from the end of the Second World War to 2009. At least some of that growth came as he and others loosened financial regulation. "In moving forward with regulatory repair, we may have to address the as yet unproved tie between the degree of financial complexity and higher standards of living," Mr. Greenspan said.
Nor is everyone as critical of the credit rating agencies as Mr. Thin and his colleagues at Brown Brothers Harriman. Scotia Capital's Derek Holt and Gorica Djeric said in their morning note to clients Wednesday that "rating agencies, for once, are doing their job." They based this assertion on news that Portugal's statistics office will restate its budget deficit this week. "Blame the governments for losing market confidence in reporting their figures from Greece through Portugal," the Scotia economists said.

Project One
Our first project takes us to South Asia, namely, Dhaka, Bangladesh. The project aims to tackle the issues that children in street situations endure on a daily basis. Restless Beings works with marginalised communities and this growing community of vulnerable children who are living and working on the streets of Dhaka are finding themselves more and more prone to the dangers associated with pornography, prostitution, child labour and human trafficking.
Our proposal is to build a rehabilitation centre for street children in Dhaka. This will provide amongst other accommodation, nutrition, education, medical treatment, psychological counselling as well as clothing and life skills. Our proposal is huge, but we are confident that with your help, we can get there and once again provide hope for these children.
To date, with your help and from money raised on our launch night, we are proud to announce that we have been able to help Shishu Tori, a partner organisation in Bangladesh, maintain their 'School Under The Sky' project for another year.
Restless Beings currently has a project co-ordinator in Bangladesh, Dr Zaki and he is supervising our field workers Shipa and Shoeb to undertake research work over the next few months. Shoeb and Shipa will be working closely with children in various locations across Dhaka, building up case studies and helping us to better understand the extent of the issues the children face daily and also to identify those in greatest need of treatment. We promise to keep you updated on these reports.

Clemens Brentano, or Klemens BrentanoHI (September 9, 1778 – July 28, 1842) was a German poet and novelist.
He was born in Ehrenbreitstein, near Koblenz, Germany. His sister was Bettina von Arnim, Goethe's correspondent. His father's family was of Italian descent. He studied in Halle and Jena, afterwards residing at Heidelberg, Vienna and Berlin. He was close to Wieland, Herder, Goethe, Friedrich Schlegel, Fichte and Tieck.
From 1798 to 1800 Brentano lived in Jena, the first center of the romantic movement. In 1801, he moved to Göttingen, and became a friend of Achim von Arnim. He married Sophie Mereau on 29 October 1803. In 1804, he moved to Heidelberg and worked with Arnim on Zeitungen für Einsiedler and Des Knaben Wunderhorn. After his wife Sophie died in 1806 he married a second time in 1807 to Auguste Busmann. In the years between 1808 and 1818, he lived mostly in Berlin, and from 1819 to 1824 in Dülmen, Westphalia.
In 1818, weary of his somewhat restless and unsettled life, he returned to the practice of the Catholic faith and withdrew to the monastery of Dülmen, where he lived for some years in strict seclusion. He took on there the position of secretary to the Catholic visionary nun, the Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich, of whom it was said that, during the last 12 years of her life, she could eat no food except Holy Communion, nor take any drink except water, subsisting entirely on the Holy Eucharist. It was claimed that from 1802 until her death, she bore the wounds of the Crown of Thorns, and from 1812, the full stigmata, including a cross over her heart and the wound from the lance. Clemens Brentano made her acquaintance, was converted to the strong faith, and remained at the foot of the stigmatist's bed copying her dictation without embellishment from 1818-1824. When she died, he prepared an index of the visions and revelations from her journal, The Dolorous Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ (published 1833). One of these visions made known by Brentano later resulted in supposed identification of the House of the Virgin Mary in Ephesus by Abbé Julien Gouyet, a French priest, during 1881.
The latter part of his life he spent in Regensburg, Frankfurt and Munich, actively engaged in promoting the Catholic faith. Brentano assisted Ludwig Achim von Arnim, his brother-in-law, in the collection of folk-songs forming Des Knaben Wunderhorn (1805-1808), which Gustav Mahler drew upon for his song cycle. He died in Aschaffenburg.
Brentano, whose early writings were published under the pseudonym Maria, belonged to the Heidelberg group of German romantic writers, and his works are marked by excess of fantastic imagery and by abrupt, bizarre modes of expression. His first published writings were Satiren und poetische Spiele (1800), and a romance Godwi oder Das steinerne Bild der Mutter (1801); of his dramas the best are Ponce de Leon (1804), Victoria (1817) and Die Grundung Prags (1815).
On the whole his finest work is the collection of Romanzen vom Rosenkranz (published posthumously in 1852); his short stories, and more especially the charming Geschichte vom braven Kasperl und dem schönen Annerl (1817), which has been translated into English, were very popular.
Brentano's collected works, edited by his brother Christian, appeared at Frankfurt in 9 vols. (1851-1855). Selections have been edited by J. B. Diel (1873), M. Koch (1892), and J. Dohmke (1893). See J. B. Diel and William Kreiten, Klemens Brentano (2 vols, 1877-1878), the introduction to Koch's edition, and R. Steig, A. von Arnim und K. Brentano (1894).
Cultural references
Brentano's work is referenced in Thomas Mann's novel Doctor Faustus. A cycle of thirteen songs, based on Brentano's poems, is noted in Chapter XXI as one of the composer protagonist's most significant early works.

Richard Blass
Richard Blass (October 24, 1945 – January 24, 1975) was an infamous Canadian gangster and a multiple murderer. Born in Montreal, he was nicknamed Le Chat, French for The Cat, because of his luck in evading death after surviving at least three assassination attempts and a police shootout, and escaping from custody twice.
Born in the Montreal neighbourhood of Rosemont, Blass would turn to amateur boxing as a way to channel his anger when he was a child. It was after a boxing fight that Blass committed one of his first known crimes, attacking fellow boxer Michel Gouin with a knife after losing a fight to him. Blass pleaded guilty to assault and spent one night in jail.
As time went by, Blass became more obsessed with the mafia activity going on in New York city, south of Montreal. As obsessed as he was with the mafia, however, he was also known for his hatred of mafia organizations: resenting the fact that the Italian mafia held a stronghold on Montreal's underworld business during the 1960s, Blass was involved in minor fights with many mafia members, particularly those related to Frank Cotroni and brothers Joe and Vincenzo Di Maulo, all of which received death threats by Blass. He had also worked as hitman for notorious West End Gang.
By then, Blass had a sizable number of members in his own criminal gang. Blass and his gang then became more violent, committing a number of murders against Italians, some of whom had nothing to do with crime. The first such killing took place on May 27, when Giuseppe Collizza was killed with five shots to the head.
One of the persons that Blass and his group killed, Francesco Grado, however, had connections to the Italian mafia. Grado was a loan shark for the mafia. He was murdered with multiple gunshots.
On August 24 of that year (1968), the first mafia attempt against Blass' life took place, when two hired gunmen entered a bar where Blass was enjoying some drinks. Although shot at multiple times, Blass was able to escape unscathed.
Two weeks later, Blass was tracked by the mafia to a motel named "Le Manoir de Plaisance", in a Montreal suburb. The motel was set on fire and three people died, but Blass escaped the blaze. Police investigation indicated arson as the fire's cause.
On October 1968, Richard Blass was injured by bullet shots to the head and back after being ambushed, alongside partner Claude Menard, inside a garage. The two were able to save their lives when Menard drove the car they were in through the garage's door, and Blass required hospitalization for his wounds. He refused to identify his attackers, a fact which may have led him to earn respect among Canadian mafia members.
On January 1969, Blass and his gang tried to commit a bank robbery but the attempt failed before Blass shot a policeman as he was fleeing from the financial institution. Blass was consequently arrested, and sentenced to four consecutive terms of ten years in jail.
On October 16 of that year, Blass became a fugitive for the first time, when he and other prisoners overpowered a jail guard and fled the van in which they were being transported to a court. Already married, Blass was caught after an anonymous caller informed the police that he was hiding in his wife's apartment.
Blass waited five years, until 1974, for his second attempt at an escape. An unidentified female friend of his brought in some firearms during a visit, and Blass broke the jail visitor's window. Armed with various types of guns and rifles, he and other men were able to escape jail, in Blass' case, for the second time.
Blass wanted to kill Raymond Laurin and Roger Lévesque, both of whom had participated in the 1970 bank robbery and testified against him. He found them both at a bar on October 30 and shot them to their deaths. Convinced that he needed to kill all witnesses of the deaths of Laurin and Lévesque, Blass and gang partner Fernand Beaudet returned to the bar on January 21, 1975. They locked ten men and three women inside a bar locker before killing all thirteen.
What followed that act was one of the largest manhunts in Canadian history. On January 24, 1975, police located the chalet where Blass was hiding. At 4:30 AM EST, three officers, led by Albert Lisacek, broke the windows of the chalet door and entered. As Blass approached them, the officers opened fire, and Blass was hit by 27 bullets, dying within seconds. Police reports and testimony stated that Blass had shot first; however, in May 2012, Lisacek told journalist Warren Perley that Blass had been unarmed, and had only been 'wielding' a sock.[1]
The 1992 film Requiem for a Handsome Bastard (Requiem pour un beau sans-coeur) is loosely based on Blass's career,[2] the film centres around the last three days of a fictionalized, pseudonymous version of Blass.[3] A book about Blass was published in 1983[4] by famous criminal attorney Frank Shoofey, who previously represented him.

Game Rant reported earlier about the incredible growth of the iPhone and iPod touch in the gaming space. According to Flurry Analytics, these devices accounted for 5% of total games revenue in 2009 ($500 million).
One company disputes these figures. Aurora Feint, known for an eponymous series of iPhone , has been a major iPhone developer ever since the launch of Apple's gaming platform.
Game Rant spoke with Steve Lin, VP of Operations at Aurora Feint, to get his opinions about the iPhone games market.
Lin said the market is actually much bigger than Flurry Analytics suggests: "Their numbers don't include online sales," he said.
The online sales market has a fast-growing niche within the games space called "virtual goods revenue". It's a niche that's easy to miss but one that's generating fistfuls of cash now and is set to skyrocket in 2010.
Virtual goods revenue is money that's made from transactions inside the gaming experience — a feature often referred to as "micro-transactions". Many people think virtual goods means downloadable content, and while DLC is in fact a virtual good, the market isn't limited to DLC alone — expanding into the social media space. Zynga, whose games "provide a platform for players to express themselves and form deep social connections with their friends," lets players buy virtual goods with virtual cash — that's based on actual cash purchased by FarmVille players. "Virtual goods" is a kind of Holy Grail in the games space because it means all that social connectivity translates into financial transactions.
Aurora Feint realized the power of social media and incorporated it into Aurora Feint II, released in December 2008. Lin explained, "The game featured free community features like chat and leaderboards." These community features evolved into OpenFeint, a social gaming platform launched in February 2009. OpenFeint allows developers to integrate social tools into their games — like achievements, challenges, forums, and links to Facebook and Twitter.
These social tools are free, but the goal is to turn free into money. Gamers buy upgrades and enhancements, all virtual goods revenue, and the system works at a micro level. Want that killer flaming sword? It's yours for just a buck. Want 10 more levels? A buck-fifty, please. In AuroraFeint's upcoming OpenFeint X, the company plans to include the ability to build games based on social goods. It already includes the ability to feature and advertise certain games — another source of revenue for developers.
On the iPhone, OpenFeint is the most evolved platform. It's got a massive base of 17 million users, growing by 25% a month. There are over 1500 games using the platform. The company spent a lot of time figuring out how to make virtual goods integration totally seamless. They work with developers — big and small — to host games and integrate their virtual goods add-ons.
The platform is certainly similar to Apple's app store but OpenFeint actually takes it several steps forward — think app store 2.0 — with sales and marketing tools inside the games. And we all know how much money indie developers can make on iPhone games.
Both Zynga and Aurora Feint have a social media and transaction platform, and they both develop in-house games. But unlike Zynga, Aurora Feint makes the platform available to iPhone developers. So virtually any game on Apple's app store can be integrated into the OpenFeint platform.
Steve Lin explained why iPhone developers can benefit from their platform. The features below are specific to OpenFeint, but really any social media platform should offer to get a gaming developer:
- Noticed. OpenFeint promotes games and actively markets them, inside other games. If you liked this game, OpenFeint's spotlight features the best games in that genre. If you've got a good game and OpenFeint features you in their spotlight, you have tons of users seeing your titles. Buying them is as easy as tapping a button.
- Easy releases of new content and upgrades. Think new levels, new weapons, new characters, all integrated into the game that's already on OpenFeint's platform, connected to their massive user base. Again, players tap to purchase these upgrades, and developers use OpenFeint's tools to add on that transaction functionality.
- Bigger audience. Their "free game of the day" features a free title — which is ordinarily not free — and lets people buy it, or a stripped down version of it, for free. Who doesn't like free? So you get people who might not consider your game suddenly playing it. Then a day or two later, the game's back at its original price. It's like try-before-you-buy, but for gamers and with OpenFeint's marketing muscle.
"Virtual goods" is easy to miss and hard to quantify because the products are hidden deep within other applications. But people are waking up and smelling the dollars: behemoth Facebook estimates that virtual goods will earn the company $1.6 billion in 2010. Even small games shops like Kongregate report their virtual goods sales are jumping 30% per month.
OpenFeint takes revenue as a part of Apple's LinkShare program for games purchased through the platform. It's an advantageous system for developers, who don't pay anything to OpenFeint. The industry believes in this model: DeNA, a Japanese firm with extensive mobile experience (their mobile portal Mobage Town generates $200 million a year), invested $3.6 million in Aurora Feint for a 20% stake in the company in October, 2009.
This might sound like a paid endorsement for OpenFeint, but really it is a model for what many social media platforms need to offer. Aurora Feint is a true startup, with 25 employees, an idea and technology to power it. This is a simple path to making money — a slice of a pie that's only going to get bigger.
Do you play any games that feature "virtual goods"? Have you purchased "virtual goods" content?

Santa Anita: Dancingtothestars wins first stakes in Megahertz
ARCADIA, Calif. - Dancingtothestars won the first stakes of her career in Saturday's $91,000 Megahertz Stakes at Santa Anita, a victory winning trainer Doug O'Neill credited to jockey Mario Gutierrez.
Dancingtothestars ($11) stalked pacesetter Fanticola to the turn, took the lead with a quarter-mile remaining and won by three-quarters of a length. Dancingtothestars ran a mile on turf in 1:33.77.
"I thought Mario did a great job of keeping the pace honest," O'Neill said. "I think he made a good move. Fanticola didn't get a chance to catch a breather and get distance. I thought Mario won the race for her."
Fanticola, who made her stakes debut in the Megahertz, finished second, a head in front of Gulsary, the 3-2 favorite. Charlie Em and Charm the Maker also ran. Lady Ten and Moone's My Name were scratched on Saturday morning.
Fanticola had won three consecutive starts – a maiden race and two allowance races – before the Megahertz. She set fractions of 23.08 and 46.83 seconds, leading by as much as 1 1/2 lengths on the backstretch. Gutierrez, best known for winning the 2012 Kentucky Derby on the O'Neill-trained I'll Have Another, coaxed Dancingtothestars closer to Fanticola at the end of the backstretch.
Dancingtothestars has won 6 of 20 starts and $400,872. Owned by Ren-Mar Thoroughbreds, Dancingtothestars is a 6-year-old California-bred mare by Good Journey. She finished second or third in four consecutive restricted or statebred stakes in early 2013.
The Megahertz Stakes, for fillies and mares, was the first stakes win for O'Neill since Goldencents won the Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile here on Nov. 1.

When we look back over the last few months and remember our summer of fun, what song is playing over those memories? If you thought it would be a Taylor Swift song, you'd be wrong! This year, Billboard's Song of Summer was the reggae fusion inspired "Cheerleader" by OMI. OMI, born Omar Samuel Palsey, is a Jamaican singer who first released the single in 2012. Three years later, after getting remixed by Felix Jaehan, "Cheerleader" became the hit of the summer.
According to Forbes, from Memorial Day to Labor Day, "Cheerleader" had close to 60 million YouTube views, 70 million plays on Pandora, and more than double that on Spotify. On the success of "Cheerleader", OMI says, "There are so many great songs that deserve the recognition that 'Cheerleader' has had. I'm just grateful."
The song has become so popular that other artists have been covering it during their own live shows. In August, Nick Jonas performed "Cheerleader" in the Dominican Republic, putting his signature pop style on the track. Acapella group Pentatonix also performed their stripped down version of the song while opening for Kelly Clarkson in July.
OMI's debut album, Me 4 U , will be released on October, 16, 2015.

Occasionally, when you buy a refurbished product, you expect it to be in a "used" condition, but the computer I just bought from MicroDream was in pristine condition - like a brand new machine. Saved a ton of money and got a laptop that's as good as new - and had it delivered within 2 days of order. Great product - great service. Highly recommended. (Posted on 16/03/2016)

I have an HP Touchsmart that has had 6 new hard drives in 18 months and yet HP do not seem to think they have sold me a pup.
I needed a back up computer to cover the periods the Touchsmart is away being given another new hard drive and l saw that Trustpilot were offering refurbished computers at very good prices.
Again it is an HP Compaq laptop but the price was right, the service from Trustpilot was good, the laptop condition was excellent and l feel much better knowing l have this laptop to fall back on. (Posted on 08/07/2014)

Bigg Boss follows Bigg Brother format, which was first developed in Netherlands by Endemol. The show is favourite of many and has become household name now.
This reality show was hosted by well-known celebrities and the TRP topped when our favourite Salman Khan entered the show as the host. The way he hosted the show during weekend was the most happening thing.
Salman, not only entertained the audience with his best hosting ability, with his humourous act-he impressed the audiences too. After Salman started hosting the show, comparisons were made with the previous hosts.
The TRP raised from average of 2.12 TRP of Bigg Boss Season One, which was hosted by Arshad Warsi, to 3.77 TRP (Bigg Boss 8) hosted by Salman Khan. It is even known fact that the TRP fell down when Farah Khan hosted the Bigg Boss 8 - Renamed as Bigg Boss Halla Bol.
Arshad Warsi inaugurated the show as host in Bigg Boss Season 1, then it was Shilpa Shetty - Bigg Boss 2, but during these times the TRP was below 3 on average. But when Salman started hosting the show - Bigg Boss 4, the TRP topped to 5.15 (avg). From then there was no look back for Salman, as he hosted Bigg Boss from then (almost five years).
It should be noted that Bigg Boss 5 had Sanjay Dutt as main host, but Salman hosted a few eviction episodes with him (opening and finale episodes), during which the TRP was 4.14 (avg).
Have a look at the hosts from Bigg Boss 1 to this Bigg Boss 8...
Bigg Boss 1 Host – Arshad Warsi
The first season of Bigg Boss started in the year 2006, which was aired on Sony Entertainment Television. It started on 3rd November 2006 and ended on 26th January 2007. The show was hosted by Arshad Warsi. According to aMap (television viewership monitoring agency), the launch episode of Bigg Boss 1 had average ratings of 1.96.
Bigg Boss 2 Host – Shilpa Shetty
The second season of Bigg Boss started on 17 August, 2008 and Arshad was replaced by Shilpa Shetty, who was winner of Big Brother in UK, as the host of the show. The show was aired on Colors. According to aMap (television viewership monitoring agency), the opening episode of Season 2 had average ratings of 2.03.
Bigg Boss 3 Host - Amitabh Bachchan
Bigg Boss 3 was hosted by Amitabh Bachchan. The season started on 4 October, 2009, on Colors. According to aMap (television viewership monitoring agency), the opening episode of Bigg Boss Season 3 had 2.43 average rating.
Bigg Boss 4, BB 6 to BB 8 – Salman Khan
Bigg Boss 4 to BB 8* were hosted by Salman Khan, which was aired on Colors from 3 October, 2010. According to aMap (television viewership monitoring agency), the launch episode of Season 4 got 3.6 ratings which was high compared the previous three seasons.
*Bigg Boss 5 had two hosts: Salman and Sanjay Dutt.
Bigg Boss 5 – Sanjay Dutt And Salman Khan
This TRP of Season 5's opening episode increased to 4.30. The launch had both Salman Khan and Sanjay Dutt. The Diwali special and a few eviction episodes were hosted by Salman and Sanjay, after which the later took over as the permanent host of the Season 5.
Bigg Boss Halla Bol – Farah Khan
It is said that since Bigg Boss 8 was prolonged and Salman had other commitments, he had to quit the show. The show was taken over by Farah Khan later. Though the TRP fell for sometime, it stabilised later on due to the controversies in the show - Karishma Tanna-Upen Patel link ups mainly.

Hyderabad: The Indian team is eyeing to maintain their unbeaten record and clinch their second international title in recent times when they take on Uzbekistan in the final of the football event at the Afro-Asian Games on Friday.
The Indian morale got a big boost on Thursday when they rallied to down higher-ranked Zimbabwe 5-3 in the semi-final. With their confidence high, India will surely start favourites at the Lal Bahadur Stadium. However, Uzbekistan too have put on creditable performance en route to the summit clash.
The home advantage will also be a positive factor in Indias favour as they set out to win the title their second since last years LG Cup triumph in Vietnam.
India started the tournament on a positive note, defeating Rwanda, and have not looked back since then.
After topping group A with their second straight win over Malaysia, the Indians prevailed over Zimbabweans in the eventful semi-final on Thursday.
Rains, which caused damage to the field in the initial days of the tournament, have stayed away till this evening though the sky remained overcast throughout. The Indian team has combined well so far with star strikers I. M. Vijayan and Bhaichung Bhutia threatening the rival defence all the time. Vijayan has scored four goals while Bhaichung has netted two so far. Tomba Singh and Rennedy Singh have done exceptionally well on the flanks, creating several openings. Vijayan is also aiming for a grand finish to his international career.
The midfield has been strengthened with Jo Paul Ancheri coming into the starting XI for the first time on Thursday. He came on as a substitute during the second half of the league matches because he was nursing an injury suffered in the preparatory tournament in Thailand.
Mahesh Gawli, Satish Bharti, M. Suresh have also done well in defence, particularly when the marauding Zimbabweans went into attack in the second half on Thursday. Sangram Mukherjee, under the bar, has also put up a good performance.
The only worrying factor in the Indian camp is Sureshs leg injury. He looks a doubtful starter for the summit clash.
Uzbekistan managed to reach the finals through a golden goal against Rwanda after praise-worthy wins over Burkina Faso and Iran and a draw against Zimbabwe in their league matches. However, with three of their key players, including Marat who scored in their first win against Iran, having returned to play in Asia Cup qualifiers their strength has further weakened.

text: What do you guys prefer when it comes to dump inserts, ez dumper or bri-mar? I have a local place that sells both and they showed me bri-mars for 2200 with the cab protector. I asked about ezdumpers because i have a old ez dumper already and they didnt even give me a price, the guy just said they're alot more. I bought the ez dumper used earlier this year so I'm not sure what they sell for new. But as for quality or reliability which is better? Construction looks pretty much the same from my old one to the bri-mar. The bri-mar is black powdercoat and has some spots already starting to get surface rust and they're just sitting there. If podercoat isn't strong enough to hold up in shipping i'd hate to see it after use. Thanks for the help guys

A rather large obstacle seems to be the leagues insistence on a rollback vs. the players insistence that the owners live up to deals they've already signed.
A compromise could be the players agreeing to a 50-50 split, a maximum length of 5 years for future contracts, and the six year contract length the owners want, in exchange for all current contracts being honoured as signed.
To solve the cap problem caused by those contracts, all current ones would have their cap hits reduced by 20%. That would bring the top payroll teams cap hits down from $68 million, to $55 million.
The money situation would still be problematic in the short term, but going forward, the rise of the owners share from 43% to 50% should put almost all of them back in the black.

The Cricut Expression is a personal die-cutting machine that can be programmed to cut patterns out of fabric. The machine itself is noted as an easy way to cut paper, foil, vinyl, foam and other materials into letters, numbers and a wide variety of shapes in sizes large enough for clothes and classrooms. Felt fabric can be difficult to cut by machine or by hand. Its fuzzy texture can clump and tear and its thinness can lead to ripping. With a little preparation, you can cut felt accurately using the Cricut Expression.
Things You'll Need
- Cricut Expression machine
- Felt sheet sized to fit in the machine
- Bonding material such as Heat 'n Bond, cut to fit behind the felt
- Cricut Expression Deep Cut Blade
- Lint roller
Select a good-quality felt for cutting. It's possible to use a thinner, cheaper type of felt, but higher-quality felt has a better chance of cutting nicely.
Attach the bonding material to the felt. Iron it onto the back of the felt, making it stiff and thick enough to cut with the Cricut Expression machine.You may not need to add backing to stiffer types of felt.
Set the felt and bonding onto the Cricut mat. Make sure the felt side is facing up and that the mat still has some stick to it so the material won't slide against the blade.
Set the deep cut blade to 6 and the speed and pressure to the highest setting. If you prefer, lower the speed and pressure and set the multi-cut button to 2 to go over the same cut twice instead of making a harder single cut.
Check the blade frequently between uses to make sure no material has built up on the blade.
Pull the bonding away from the felt if possible. Be careful, as some materials, especially thinner felts, may tear. Leave the bonding there if you don't mind having a shiny backside to the felt.
Use a lint roller to clean the Cricut mat.

A novel form of extended-cavity diode laser attains robust tunable single-frequency operation with narrow linewidth. The laser cavity includes a self-pumped photorefractive phase-conjugate reflector for wavelength-adaptive narrowband feedback and a compact high-finesse tunable intracavity ring filter for single-longitudinal-mode selectivity and control. Its performance around is verified with a simple Fabry–Perot laser diode and by Doppler-free two-photon spectroscopy in atomic cesium.
