Chennai, October 31: There are a number of large Indian companies that do business globally but none of them have a global brand. In fact, in the top 100 global brands, there is no Indian company, according to Ashish Mishra, Managing Director, Interbrand India. The top 100 brand list is led by Apple, and the US alone has 57 companies followed by Germany, France, Japan and Britain. Even China had its entry with Huawei, he said in his keynote address at the 13th MMA All India Management Students Convention 2014. Indian companies need to consider investing in brands as a long term benefit and stop looking at it as a cost. Creating a global brand is a major challenge facing Indian companies even as Interbrand is trying to help some of the large ones become a global brand, he said. Mishra urged companies to look at the five new Ps of the market. They are pivotal (brands need to take the centre stage in a company), peerless (benchmarking), perception (relevance and drivers), pervasive (consistently available in all touch points) and purpose (to customer), he said.
Make in India According to B Santhanam, President-Flat Glass, South Asia, Malaysia and Egypt and Managing Director, Saint-Gobain Glass India, and the chief guest at the event, there is a lot of optimism in the market since the new government took over at the Centre, and with the recent launch of the Make in India campaign. A year ago I would have said things are not that good. However, now there is clearly an interest and I feel optimistic about the future, he said.
Notwithstanding the scepticism about the campaign, there is some amount of evidence that things are working and a lot of changes are underway, he said. However, for the Make in India campaign to succeed it is important that companies focus on the four main issues of customers, technology, people and brand. If they keep looking at land and reforms only, they will be left behind, he said. Santhanam advised students to lay more emphasis on developing their skills. Unlike last years gloomy situation, this years batch, the students are lucky as there is a lot of opportunity for them, he said.

Except for single crocheting a single row on a new potholder the morning of our departure, and buying a new knit-worthy bag, there was zero crafting going on. Didn't even step in a single knit shop, which turned out to be too out of the way when we had a car, and too far to walk when we didn't. Seems to have been more of a coastal business, and we were nowhere near the coast.
That's it for now. Back to deadline central. Perhaps by the weekend I'll have made a dent in re-organizing my craft room, which at the moment looks like it was at the epicenter of an earthquake.

Flying high in court
William D. Barnes
A Lansford man was jailed Tuesday after he appeared in Carbon County court at a guilty plea proceeding under the influence of controlled substances.
William D. Barnes, 36, was scheduled to plea in before Judge Joseph J. Matika to one count each of criminal mischief and simple trespass.
He was charged by Lansford police with an incident on Jan. 28 at 10 W. Ridge St. A more serious charge of burglary was to be dropped in a plea bargain.
When Barnes arrived in courtroom 2 on the third floor of the courthouse, it was apparent to court personnel that he was under the influence of something. Staff members informed Matika.
Matika called Barnes before the court and asked if he had consumed any alcohol or drugs before coming to court.
At first Barnes said no, but when Matika said he was going to order the adult probation office to conduct a urine screen, the defendant admitted taking "one Percocet" Monday night. He also claimed he did not sleep all night because of coming to court.
After the urine screen was completed Barnes returned to the courtroom. Probation Officer Kimberly Cooper said the screen showed the presence of oxycodone and methamphetamine and other substances in the defendant'ssystem.
At this point Barnes said he was a drug addict and needed help.
Matika looked at Barnes, who was unsteady with his head bobbing, and told him, "Ben Franklin couldn't fly a kite as high as you are now."
Matika remanded Barnes to the Carbon County Prison for contempt of court.
Barnes' case was rescheduled for June 30.

Young American painter Theodora Faraday struggles to become an artist in Belle Époque Paris. She's tasted the champagne of success, illustrating poems for the Revenants, a group of poets led by her adored cousin, Averill. When children she knows vanish mysteriously, Theo confronts Inspecteur Michel Devaux who suspects the Revenants are involved. Theo refuses to believe the killer could be a friend-could be the man she loves. Classic detection and occult revelation lead Michel and Theo through the dark underbelly of Paris, from catacombs to asylums, to the obscene ritual of a Black Mass. Following the maze of clues they discover the murderer believes he is the reincarnation of the most evil serial killer in the history of France-Gilles de Rais. Once Joan of Arc's lieutenant, after her death he plunged into an orgy of evil. The Church burned him at the stake for heresy, sorcery, and the depraved murder of hundreds of peasant children. Whether deranged mind or demonic passion incite him, the killer must be found before he strikes again.
©2012 Yves Fey (P)2014 Gayle Feyrer aka Yves Fey
"Not My Genre: But Captivating"
This is a dark and creepy murder-mystery novel set in 19th century Paris. It's not the type of fiction I normally gravitate towards, but listening to it almost constantly on a cross-country road trip, we found we were drawn to the well-drawn characters and intricate plot.
The story is very complicated. You must pay attention and are rewarded by surprising twists.
We listened to this story for a lot of miles, almost one-sitting. It's probably the best way to experience it so that you can keep track of the characters and their twists.
"Dark and Wonderfully Atmospheric!"
Floats the Dark Shadow is a beautifully written story that is dark, disturbing and sensual as a tale of love and art against the backdrop of madness and murder. The portions told from the perspective of the killer, believing he is the reincarnation of Gilles de Rais, are beyond chilling and made me feel like I was actually within the mind of a madman. Following Theo and Inspector Devaux as they both try to uncover who is kidnapping, torturing and killing innocent children was thrilling and I can honestly say I did not see the eventual revelation coming!
My only complaint with Floats the Dark Shadow deals with the format and not the story at all, which I loved. I listened to the audiobook version of the story and given the many French names, the accents put on by the narrator and the fact that most of the characters sounded alike made it hard to keep up with the intricate plotlines and differentiate between the characters. Being that this story is a mystery to unravel the killer I found this frustrating and confusing at times.
With this being said, the descriptions of Paris and the surrounding countryside are breathtaking and really transport the reader/listener to Belle Epoque Paris. Theo is by far my favorite character as I found her to be well developed and admirable in her originality, determination and kindness. I believe if I had been reading this story as opposed to listening to it and able to flip back and forth between the pages I would have had less difficulty keeping up with the intricacies of the plot to discover the sadistic murderer and this would have helped with the confusion I experienced. I will also note to those thinking about picking this one up that it is quite graphic at times but, for me, this was needed to highlight the depravity of the participants and the deep-seeded dementia of the killer.
I would recommend this to those who love dark novels set in Paris during this time and those that enjoy a twisted journey to find a murderer and stop him from bringing more children into his web of destruction.
"horrible book"
i really have no idea. it got good reviews already, that's why I picked it. I didn't even finish it, will never finish it, can't wait to be rid of it.
I don't know, I found it to be a boring, pretentious, twisted romance novel, i kept thinking it would get better, it got worse. i hit the chapter which had a very graphic sex act involving a dying child, and i was totally repulsed.
her performance was good, i had no problem with that.
it would have to be the graphic sex scene with the dying child. since i stopped listening after that i have no idea what other horrid things the book contained.

Man, I remember when those words used to mean something...
I have tix for their gig tomorrow night here at The Great American Music Hall, and fear the worst, even though they've long been a fave of mine...
They are flogging a new middle of the road album, supposedly mourning the dead bass player while touring with just two original members, and I guess are kinda like the Who or many other rock dinosaurs on the state fair circuit I suppose...
I appreciate that they are stil rolling of course, even if I ain't feeling the this new album much...
Soul Asylum - Stand Up & Be Strong
I saw that one of their gigs this summer was literally at the Mid America Rib Fest. I suspect someone must have some mortgage payments due...
Anyhow, here's some Soul Asylum tunes from an earlier era, and a little of my morose memory lane rambling...
(portions of which first appeared here last year when Karl Mueller their bassist died)
When I heard that Soul Asylum's bassist Karl Mueller passed away at age 41 in 2005 from throat cancer I was a bit stunned. I actually saw it on some blog called "Pimps of Gore" (well, sheeeeeeeeet, Karl woulda found some irony in that I'm sure...)
In the fall of 2004, apparently Soul Asylum had a reunion to raise money for Mueller's health care bills in Minneapolis and I didn't hear about it til Karl was already way past the point of helping.
Oh well, aside from buyin' a ticket, there's not much I coulda done I s'pose so I don't resent not being contacted personally...although they were a band that made everything seem personal.
From their low key friendly midwestern banter backstage & even onstage, to their touching music that bordered on incredible on the right nights.
I first saw 'em open for Husker Du in D.C at the old 9:30 on F St in Feb of 85 and they just tore the roof off the sucker and make Mould & Hart look like lazy fat guys. I was a teenage runaway, and after trying to sneak in twice , I reluctantly droppped my last 10 bucks at the door and got my money's worth in the first 15 minutes.
I went and saw em again a month or so later at some weird gay disco called The Eastside Club, and there were like 5 people there besides them. But man, they played that show just as fiercely as the packed one a few months prior and had a great time despite the dismal turnout. I was hooked, I bought the 7" single, the Times Incinerator cassette outtakes with Mueller gleefully singing James Brown's Hot Pants, the EPs , the new albums, and even the old albums like "Say What You Will Clarence, Karl Sold The Truck" etc.
Soul Asylum - Long Day (First track from their first LP on Twin Tone circa 1984, recorded shortly after changing their name from Loud, Fast Rules. Hosted courtesy the always cool PostPunkJunk.com)
As much I wish I coulda been some use to them over the years, they pretty much had it covered. Hi energy stage show, intense personal tunes, and a work ethic that took them through every podunk bar in the country twice.
I caught a greyhound & moved here to San Francisco where I'd just show up early at various venues and bug 'em, especially if I was broke. To get in free I'd load their gear (and laugh at their jokes while I drank their beer). I'd loiter and wait at the Mab, Berkeley Square or wherever they were playing cuz there'd be lotsa stories and good humor, & more beers. I began noticing as they came around, they had upgraded to rental vans, and seemed things must be looking up. Some local kids had even screen printed up their own t-shirts, with just the enigmatic words "Dave" below a black & white live shot of Pirner in one of his classic headbanging moments...
I tried to get the band some press once, but Twin Tone sold their contract to A&M and Maximum Rock & Roll wouldn't publish my interview piece. Instead, Kerrang the metal mag sent a photographer and took pictures of them on the stairs of the old I-Beam on Haight Street. I plyed pinball with Pirner, and while a photographer with his own lights set up, he told me his band was his only option left, since he was to old to join the army.
From the melted Eagles tape on their dashboard to Dave Pirner's ripped t-shirts & jeans and Dan Murphy's baseball jerseys, to their voices just passionately wailing at the top of their lungs above the guitar drenched din. It was amazing to see circa 1985-1989 and something I'll never forget. Someday I'll get around to posting a crazy video clip I edited of footage from my Friend Lou of those guys at The Rathskeller in Boston blasting through Closer to The Stars from one of those last indie hurrah's called While You Were Out.
This track represents the band nearing a creative and energetic apex, it was included on the album While You Were Out, released in 1986, their last full length LP for Twin Tone. After this album, they left indie rock behind, and began an ambituous period of working with Herb Alperts label A&M records.
Soul Asylum - Closer To The Stars
The James at 16 Medley which incorporates everything from The Godfathers "Birth School Work Death" to Buffalo Springfield, Ted Nugent, Prince & Wild Cherry cribs. Long before we had Mash Up DJs & Me First & The Gimme Gimmes , we had Soul Asylum... kickin down thirteen covers in just over eleven minutes and that was all we needed man...
Here it is culled of some old creakly vinyl, featuring the amazing late Karl Mueller, here's a live cover medley recorded at The Roxy in LA in 1987... It was used as b-side of a 12 inch promo single of he track Standing In The Doorway, which was part of the push for their first major label record Hang Time.
Soul Asylum - James at 16 Medley
Hear the late bass player Karl Mueller's rarely heard singing voice belting out the Prince cover tune "The Cross". Next up is track from Hang Time that Dan Murphy ( now also of Golden Smog) sang & wrote that has long been a live set favorite. Apparently the band are playing it in their sets this year, and I really look forward to hearing it.
Soul Asylum - Cartoon
The Village Voice & Spin magazine called them the best live act in the US in the late 80's, and things could only get brighter...
But rumor had it that A&M brass weren't sure what to do with the band, and got pissed off when their recording sessions were too loud at the old Chaplin soundstage studios lot in Hollywood.
When the two A&M records they released into a hair metal sea failed to generate sales growth in the platinum range, Soul Asylum were unsummarily dropped, and their bassist Karl went back to washing dishes in the Minneapolis club they were used to headlining. Ironically it was at this time that a resurgence in rock's gritty alternative underbelly was starting to shake up the industry, and as the "grunge" sound swept up the charts, a certain band from Minneapolis was woodshedding.
By the time Sony picked up the band, the demos circulating showed a further refining and outright mellowing of the tunes. Pirner was leaning towards an even folksier style, with less feedback & fuzztone, and even some vaguely romantically charged balladeering.
Seems they had matured, and somehow a year after getting dropped by A&M, were signed to Sony and reording with some studio pros in NYC.
During the hiatus, Pirner got all extra sensitive, and let his inner hippy shine through more...
Despite my mixed feelings about the lack of barnburners on the breakthrough disc, one cannot doubt the creative & commercial merits of the record. Released on Sony in 1992, at the height of Nirvana-mania, Grave Dancers Union, largely pulled the band out of the grunge ghetto and made them radio friendly stars. The first single, Somebody To Shove didn't really catch on, but the followups , Black Gold & especially Runaway Train became MTV faves, and cemented the band in the public memory.
Soul Asylum - Black Gold
Gone were most of the pranks and cheesy covers eating up half a set, and in was the cover of Rolling Stone, a Hammond B-3 player and the singer's movie star girlfriend with tix to the Oscars.
Seemed as quickly as they arose, they had just disappeared, and left just when the going got good. Instead of flying the flannel Pirner complained of hearing loss, and switched drummers & made the new one sit in a plexi glass box.
They put out a video that featured those runaway kids, and the next thing ya know they are double platinum and the first rock band to play on the White House lawn!
I myself began to lose interest, as the world discovered my teenage faves, I felt somewhat left out of the parade, and watched as the group began drifting away from the things I truly held dear. There were always good tunes on the records, but the live shows were no longer at intimate venues, and chances to haul their gear, drink beer, play pinball and shoot the shit with them as regular guys were over.
The madding crowds, and even papparazzzi were there, what with Pirner dumping his longtime gal back home for pill poppng movie starlet Winona Ryder. They toured relentlessly still, just the venues cost closer to $30 and up to get in, instead of $5 or $10, and the bills were no longer with cool idiesque bands like Blake Babies, Mojo Nixon or The Gear Daddies, but detestable schlock like Matchbox 20 and the Spin Doctors.
Live they still could entertain a crowd, but the hits were getting more predicable, and damn Pirner was getting sappy too. It seemed Dave "chief raincloud" Pirner had led Soul Asylum into a brick wall of public disinterest and they basically petered out on the charts in '98. Their last Sony album Candy From A Stranger barely registered on the radio radar and dropped off the Sound Scan just days after release. Most suspicious was the weak wheezing and yelping from the former fireball Pirner that sounded suspiciously like an Eddie Money/James Taylor outtake collection.
I missed the jubilance and goofiness, such as this cover of a Wyclef song about life on the road, actually featuring Wyclef, but generally the flava was leaving the train station if ya know what I mean...
Soul Asylum - Gone Til November w/ Wyclef Jean
I haven't picked up the new record yet, but the tunes I've heard, and most reviews suggest I ain't missing much. I am looking forward to catching the group live again though...as their sts wil include a few chestnuts from what I consider their finest years, before the hype and hubbub made them into something altogether different.
Sony, in a classic spurt of a day late & a dollar short finally released a live album in 2005 of a concert from 1997 that the band played for a high school prom in a flood damaged part of North Dakota.
The band opens up the set by ripping into School's Out by Alice Cooper, and besides playing their own hits & near misses they toss in some other covers like Rhinestone Cowboy by Glen Campbell, Johnny Nash's I Can See Clearly Now, Marvin Gaye's Sexual Healing, Smokey Robinson's The Tracks Of My Tears & Lulu's To Sir with Love...

Doors 7:30 PM / Show 8:00 PM
This event is 21 and over
Los Angeles via London synth-pop group Lovelife announce their third EP 'Stateless', following on from successful releases with National Anthem (The Fourth Floor EP), Neon Gold Records (Your New Beloved 7" single) and a split 7" with LA band The Neighbourhood. The EP, which features lead single 'Dying To Start Again' was written, recorded and produced by the band in various locations across the USA and UK in the summer of 2013.
Coming off a successful coast-to-coast USA tour in late spring with Capital Cities, Gold Fields, and The Neighbourhood, the band have continued their busy touring schedule, which included a sold out show at Hoxton Bar and Kitchen in London, whilst finding time to write and record their latest release. The band, who's sound utilises swirling synth pads, impassioned vocals and robust, precise beats to create a blend of smooth, brooding R&B has lead them to land three Top 5 hits on the Hype Machine popular chart, including a #1.
Lovelife, aka Lee Newell (vocals), Ally Young (keyboards), Frank Colucci (drums) and Sam Jackson (guitar) spent half of 2012 in New York City, where they played a string of dates in and around the city capped by a set of breakout performances at CMJ Music Marathon, earning praise from MTV Hive, Yours Tru.ly, Noisey, Under the Radar, Entertainment Weekly, and more. The band released two self-produced EPs in 2012 (El Regreso and The Fourth Floor), the latter on UK label National Anthem (HAIM, Chvrches), receiving over 650,000 plays on SoundCloud and 40,000 downloads, and have performed with AlunaGeorge, St. Lucia, Flume and more.
'Stateless' is the natural progression for the band who's infectious hooks and slick production have drawn a legion of fans in their short existence, which is poised to grow even further after their return to the US. The band, gaining a reputation for their mellow remixes and reworks and have been commissioned by such names as Ellie Goulding, Natalia Kills, MS MR, AlunaGeorge, Imagine Dragons and The Killers.
"Lovelife are back and better than ever...a perfect blend of electro and R'n'B pop that's oh so good... you should listen right now." NYLON
"A brazen pop thumper that aches for the sunshine." NOISEY
"A slick marvel of blue-eyed nü-R&B, Lovelife has more in common with The Weekend and 80's electro-funk than anything back home across the pond."
"Glossy production into modern R&B...like a goth D'Angelo or the Neighbourhood's long lost brothers from across the Atlantic." NEON GOLD
Wunder Wunder is the creative conception of Australian music producers, Aaron Shanahan and Benjamin Plant. After many years producing and writing electronic music, the duo have given birth to a new project that adventures into their love of colourful psychedelic '60s and '70s pop.
Having spent the last two years relocated in Los Angeles, an overflow of inspiration left them with a combination of everything from soft, blissed-out dreamscapes to the hot Californian sun burn's that will be felt with their first single 'Coastline'.
With an amalgamation of lo-fi squelch, dreamy guitars and warping synths, Wunder Wunder is a true aural trip into the west coast sun. Through a kaleidoscope of melodies, they provide the sonic colour and boldness that most music seems to forget.
Their first single Coastline will be released in November through New York based label, Dovecote.
Snowblood is a brand new DJ based in the heart of Los Angeles. Despite being a new act in the DJ world, she is no stranger to the stage. She has toured the US & Europe, both backing & leading different music projects over the years, but is finally ready to take off on her first solo music venture. She recently released her debut mix, which includes an upbeat collection of feel good NuDisco/House jams that you can expect to hear more of before the year is done. With original music & remixes in sight in her not so distant future, be sure to keep an eye on this little lady calling herself SNOWBLOOD.

"You can cut the tension here with a knife – within a few hours something could happen and everything could blow up."
They are the words of a former Fylde coast student who has found himself in the middle of tensions in Ukraine as the country witnessed its worst violence in decades.
Mike Latham has today told The Gazette how he avoided a run-in with the Russian mafia and has to stay indoors to avoid being suspected of spying after the city he is staying in was thrust into the spotlight of Ukraine's revolution.
The 52-year-old, who studied at Rossall School and Blackpool Sixth Form College, is visiting his fiancée's family in Ukraine's second city of Kharkiv.
Speaking to The Gazette from Kharkiv, Mr Latham said: "Everybody is looking over their shoulder, scared for their livelihoods.
"I'm in a flat on one of the main roads and there are cars going past with flags flying out the windows and horns going. It's quite intimidating.
"When you go into the square it's one against the other – you're talking tens of thousands of people on both sides and there's been pushing and shoving.
"There's a 20ft Lenin statue in the square – the largest one outside Russia – and demonstrators tried to pull it down.
"It's just simmering underneath the surface. What's going to happen, I have no idea."
There is a fierce tension in the country, which is divided in its support for Russia and the West.
But the strong anti-EU sentiment in Kharkiv, which is largely pro-Russian, means Mr Latham has to avoid talking or risk his accent attracting unwanted attention.
He said: ""If they hear a foreign accent, they worry you might be spying.
"The police here are not like police in the UK – if you are in the wrong place at the wrong time, you will get hit. It's surreal really, like being in the middle of a revolution.
"I was in a restaurant the other night with the family and they told me to shut up.
"I asked why and they said the mafia – the Russian mafia – had come in and were talking about the revolution.
"We just put our heads down and got out the door.
"Luckily, I've got my girlfriend's family around to protect me. I wouldn't like to be here on my own."
After it emerged the country's ousted leader Viktor Yanukovych had fled to the city from Kiev, tensions heightened over the weekend.
And Mr Latham, who now lives in Preston, said the civil unrest heightened as the number of demonstrators in the city trebled when they came to see former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko.
Sent to jail in 2011, she was being held in Kharkiv until being released last weekend.
After arriving in the country on February 20 Mr Latham plans to leave on Monday and said there has been nothing so far to suggest the turmoil will stop him getting to the airport, 30km outside Kiev.

My girlfriend has just rescued a dog in a bad condition in spain where she is on holidays.
She is now going to try and bring it back to Ireland.
Has anybody ever done this?
I think it will have to get it's shots etc and passport and I think will have to go into quartine in Spain for a few months? Do they put them into quartine when the dog comes to Ireland also?
Has anybody any idea of what this could cost getting it here including passport, quartine and flight costs etc?
Any help would be very much appreciated
Fair play to your girlfriend for not looking away!
However, it is going to be very difficult and expensive to get the dog to Ireland. In order to get its pet travel passport and all the shots and tests required, there will be a six month waiting period.
Who will look after the dog during that time and make sure that everything is done properly? Who will pay for it all?
Transport won't be cheap either. There are only a few select airlines that tansport dogs and the price is exorbitant.
It might be the better solution for your girlfriend and the dog to just find a good rescue in Spain and leave the dog there to be re-homed in Spain.
There is another issue to be considered as well. Dogs from the mediterranean are hosts/carriers of several debilitating diseases (leishmanosis, brucellosis) and parasites that are so far unknown in Ireland. Some of those don't show up until later in life and can be very difficult and expensive to treat.
Even if the dog itself doesn't get sick from one of those illnesses, as a carrier it could infect other dogs here that have no defense/immunity to those illnesses.
In short (and I know this sounds cruel), I think the dog is best left where it is.
Hopefully your gf can find a good rescue out there and leave the dog in capable hands and maybe give them a donation to help care for the dog.
It's what I would do.
Why doesn't your girlfriend try to contact a local animal rescue over there to see if they can help with the dog as has been suggested, although the animal welfare problem is pretty dire over there, worse than here so they may all be full. Quite a lot of Spanish dogs are rehomed in the UK so it can be done. I also know of someone like your girlfriend who helped a dog in Greece. He found somewhere to board it for the 6 months, went through the passport process and the dog is now living here happily.
It won't be easy but it CAN be done if she really wants to, which I hope she does.
Pets do not need passports in any country. The countries that come close to rules which almost make you think of a passport for pets are United Kingdom and European Union. But yes in most of the countries you need a certificate from a qualified veterinarian stating that your dog, cat or any other pet is healthy and not carrying any deadly disease or virus like rabies. Your pet should be vaccinated 30 days before the date of travel.
In UK and EU you also have to get your pets microchipped. It means that they have to go through a process where the animal is injected with a tiny capsule which is about the size of a rice grain. If you do not have a certificate of rabies vaccination and good health then your pet would be quarantined for six months in a facility. If you want to find out more about these things then check out the website atwww.millenialiving.com. There are also several other sites which can give you about the travel rules and regulations for pets
You can have an EU pet passport which covers your animal if they're travelling within the EU. It can a lengthy and costly process though. Further details can be found here:
Best of luck to your girlfriend and the lucky dog.
To get a licence to bring the dog over is not too much hassle.
It will need to be microchipped, treated for worms 48 hours before he leaves greece but he will have to get his bloods done for a rabies check. That is where you will be caught as it takes 6 months for the all clear to be given for that test.
If you paid for these tests and maybe sponsored the dog in the kennels for the six months you would then be able to bring him over.
One other option that some countries do allow is that you get the dog vaccined against rabies bring him over and then quarantine him in Ireland for the six months. There used to be only one place in swords that was registered for this type of quarantine but at least the dog would be over here sooner than later.
Thanks very much for all the replies. I have passed on the news to her.
The reason why she is reluctant to rehome it, is that it was a staffy cross Lab bred in it and she is worried incase itwould be used for the wrong reasons even though she says it's as quiet as a lamb.
I think it is going to cost around €20 / week to keep it in quarantine there, so we can afford that. The thing we are worried about is the cost of getting it to Ireland. She says it only weighs 9kg but it is a big enough dog. Does anybody have an idea of what it might cost? What airlines do this? All the info is greatly appreciated.
Thanks again
My parents used www.airsea.ie when bringing pets.
They will do it by air or sea
You just fill in details online and they will get back to you with a quotation to give you an idea. I have no idea how much it costs but it does go through Dublin airport cargo section so you could ring there either. Make sure to post a picture when you get it over here.
What a luck doggie.

Watch: Park Seo Joon Is Amused By Kim Ji Wons Cute Dance During Fight My Way Filming
The only thing more adorable than Kim Ji Wons dance moves in KBS2s Fight My Way is her trying to practice those moves behind the scenes!
The production team recently released a new making video on June 2 that explored how Kim Ji Won brings the cute aspect of her character to life.
The first behind-the-scenes look revealed how Park Seo Joon and Kim Ji Won carefully positioned themselves movement by movement. As the pair wrap up checking camera angles for one scene, Kim Ji Wons cuteness continued even when she broke character, as she asked the staff if there were late night snacks.

"The Betrayal" snippet from Chapter 5
Published by captain kate in the blog captain kate's blog. Views: 85
"So I should just trust you," Kate said. "Hop right over to your planet and let you screw with my mind again?"
"Eloquently put as usual,"
"I tell you what, Doctor," Kate said. "Why don't you give me the code for entering the block, and I'll have my ship's doctors take care of it."
Kate fought to keep from smiling, but lost, as she saw the anger rise in Matthews face. For all of his cultured sophistication, she noted, he certainly wasn't a good poker player. No, it was obvious he was talking for someone else, with Reyes being the one he was talking for. After all they have been through, Matthews of all people should have known she wasn't going to just walk into whatever lair Reyes had waiting for her!
"You don't know what you're up against, Almir!" Matthews hissed, the culture gone from his voice. "Don't be so god****** stupid!"
"I don't know 'what I'm up against?'" Kate asked. "That's funny, because I'm trying to learn why Albright's work is in the hands of Intelligence right now."
"You have no idea what is really happening, do you?"
"No I don't," Kate admitted, licking her lips. "But I'm going to find out what it is."
"Stubborn bitch,"
"That I am," Kate said. "But tell Reyes that if he wants to talk, he needs to do it himself. Good day, Doctor!"
"Kate, wait!"
There was something in the tone that Matthews used that made her stop. In all the time she had spent with the Doctor, he had never sounded so desperate as he did then. What was it that they didn't want her to remember, Kate mused. Or was it fear that she would come after them with a murderous vengeance for what they did.
"Speak fast, Doctor," Kate's tone was ice-cold. "I don't have time for bull****."
"Okay," he said. "You win, Kate."
"I'm waiting…"
"When I got clearance to rebuild you our cybernetics, Reyes wanted something to keep you under his control," Matthews said. "He envisioned you as a super warrior for him."
"And that's why he blocked my memories?"
"Along with add-"
Matthews never finished his statement, as Kate heard the deafening sound of a pistol firing. In a single, horrifying second, she watched a bullet strike Matthews. His chest exploded in a starburst of crimson as he went flying back out of sight of the holovid camera. The sound of his body striking the floor reverberated throughout Kate's compartment.
"He never did know how to keep a secret to himself,"
"Reyes," Kate breathed, the rage building in her chest.
"Unfortunately," Reyes said as he entered the screen, his pistol still smoking. "Since you know the truth about my memory blocking, I'm afraid that you're of no use to me now."
"You b******," Kate said. "You didn't have to kill him!"
"Oh but I did," he said with smile. "I can't afford to have you know everything I had done."
"So you betray my trust," Kate said. "And then kill the man who did it for you. How ingenious of you to do so, have you realized that you've been on the com long enough for me to track your position?"
"Oh I expected you to, Almir," Reyes said, sitting down in the seat Matthews had been in. "And I'll be waiting for you."
"What makes you think I won't turn you into Fleet Command for murder?"
"Because they want you dead worse then I do now," Reyes said. "Who do you think has been trying to kill you?"
Those words hit Kate like a ton of bricks dropped off a tall building. She leaned back in her chair, flabbergasted at the very thought. While it had been something she had suspected, never did she expect it to be true. If they wanted her dead too, she mused, just what did she have to lose in her life anymore?
"Come now, Almir," Reyes said as he lit a cigar. "As big as your mouth always has been, you don't have something to say? The cat got your tongue?"
"Why should I believe you?"
"You don't have to," he admitted. "But look at what is going on and tell me if it isn't the truth."
"Goddamn you,"
"Oh he will do that," Reyes said, blowing out smoke. "But I really need to be going…when you have the guts to see me, you'll know where to find me."
The image went blank, leaving everyone in the room in stunned silence. Kate rubbed the end of her nose in thought over what had happened. People had manipulated everything in her life, on opposite sides of a power struggle! Color rose to her cheeks as the rage built inside, tears threatening to spill. Just how did you win a game where both sides are against you, she wondered to herself.
"Kate," Loving said, her voice showing the concern she felt. "I'm so sorry,"
"Captain," Paul said, his voice no longer showing any lack of courage. "I think I speak for all of us when I say we're in with you until the bitter end."
"Thank you," Kate said, her voice soft, almost defeated. "It means a lot to me."
"Kate," Reynolds said. "I'm going to work as long as it takes to try to crack the code on your processor. I've always known there were sections that were blocked off, but I never…"
"Thank you, Lisa," Kate said as she leaned back to stare at the ceiling. "You all are dismissed."
"Kate," Loving said. "Do you need anything?"
"I'll be better off alone," Kate said. "How long before we arrive at Beta Scorpii?"
"At our current speed," Paul said. "Six hours."
"Keep sensors tuned for any unknown vessels," She said. "I'll be on the bridge before we arrive."
Closing her eyes to the world, Kate listened to everyone file out. She had always known that Reyes wasn't on her side, but to kill Matthews! Jesus Christ, she fumed, was there anything the bastard wouldn't do? And now he tells her that Fleet Command was behind the attempts
on her life?
Just what the hell did he put me in the middle of? She thought.

Wessex FM News
LISTEN: Immigration Rules and Fake Passports Blighting Indian Food Industry, says Weymouth Businessman
11:25am 12th March 2013
The owner of a Weymouth restaurant thinks strict government rules on immigration are hurting the Indian food industry.
Shalim Abdul from the Balti House - on Commercial Road - says some managers are being forced to employ foreign chefs illegally because there aren't enough tandoori specialists in Britain.
He's been speaking to Wessex FM after UK Border Officials arrested two Bangladeshi immigrants on his premises last week (Thursday 7th March).
Shalim insists he checked all their documentation and had no idea either of their VISA's had run out. He's passed evidence of the checks he carried-out over to UK Border Officials.
He says it used to be easier to bring in high-end tandoori chefs from abroad; "They'd come over - chefs - work and pay their taxes and go. But now, with stricter rules on immigration it's very difficult to recruit chefs."
Click below to hear more from Mr Abdul.
Shalim says the problems go even further too, claiming it's too easy for immigrants who wish to work in the UK but can't get a VISA, to get their hands on fake ones. He says it puts restaurants like his at risk of prosecution and hefty fines.
Both men - a 46 year old and a 24 year old - arrested at the Balti House now face deportation.

Telford, PA (PressExposure) December 21, 2009 -- There are many companies who just look at marketing as one large campaign after another. For the biggest of the big corporations, this is probably going to be accurate, because they can afford to never let up.
Every major marketing push is going to flow smoothly with the next big, expensive marketing. However, what about the companies who can only afford three or four marketing pushes at most a year? You are likely to have a certain amount of downtime in between when you cannot afford those large scale marketing pushes anymore and you have to move on to something else. What exactly do you move onto?
There are certain forms of marketing that are less glamorous but also a lot less expensive, and flyer printing is one of them.
Flyers rarely top the list for the most visible forms of marketing. Do not allow this to fool you into thinking it means they do not work as well. This is able to accomplish just as much in the world of marketing than any other form, especially if used right.
Its strength comes from the versatility they have along with the cheap costs associated with them. You can afford a lot of printing for the same amount it would cost to print only a fraction of the same amount of brochures.
Such marketing tools also take a lot less time to design allow you to create and print up a large batch of flyers quickly to keep your marketing message strong.
You can blanket your town with flyers, making sure that every bulletin board always has at least one on it, and that everyone who comes into your store walks out with a flyer in hand.
Each time you make a sale slip one into the person's back, or each time you talk to someone have some flyers with you to hand them. This might not be a major, coordinated marketing push, but that does not mean it will not have any impact. If you maintain this for long enough you can develop a strong, consist number of sales to keep your business strong between major marketing pushes.
What I would do is set up your marketing so that you always have a large number on hand. When you have the large pushes coming cut back the use to make way for it, and once your other marketing push is over, go right back to getting those flyers out there.
Now you have a marketing that never ends, which is always going to be the best kind of marketing. You are never letting up and making sure your name remains strong in the marketplace. Given the low cost, something like this can work for any business, and that most certainly includes yours.

"So much easier than I had anticipated."
'My experience with Cars & Co was the very best I have encountered when purchasing a new car.
They worked to get me a trade in deal that I am very satisfied with.
On the day I received my car, they were of tremendous help in showing me all the details of the car, explaining the features, going over the navigation system and even syncing my phone, making me feel comfortable and making the paperwork so much easier than I had anticipated, and that was very important to me.
Thank you for a job well done.— Jen
It was so effortless to source this company van and have our old one traded in.
Shervin at Cars & Co did all the work and we ended up with a saving of more than $3000. We had the new van delivered right to our door and the trade in was picked up at the same time. Great service and great value. We love our new van!— Ellen Tung
After countless weekends talking with various new car dealers,
and getting various prices which were always the "lowest they could go", and being asked "what would it take to get you to sign today", I was actually starting to lose interest in buying a new car. In addition to that, I was made to feel like the dealers were doing me a favour by trying to find stock in the system. Then one day I stumbled upon Cars and Co. One quick online submission, and Shervin called me back within an hour, and within 24 hours I had pricing that was absolutely outstanding. Plus stock was no issue either. The whole process was just so easy. This is the only way I will ever buy cars in future.— Paul Stone
So much better than dealing with Mercedes Brisbane directly.
The experience was about listening and education without arrogance. I cannot express how much better it was.— Darren Jansz
I must admit that I did not expect the deal that Shervin obtained for me.
I have owned 3 SE Mercedes in the past, but this was a sweet experience. Shervin sourced the vehicle from a dealership 750 kms away from my home, right specs, good price, and arranged to have it delivered to my front door with the dealership representative 2 weeks later....How good is that? I would certainly recommend "Cars and CO" to any serious buyer in the market. Nick Mandikos— Nick Mandikos

Alright seriously, I've really just got to understand the hate on kinkade. I'm not siding with him, I just claim ignorance. I've heard his named cursed so very many times now; so enlighten me.
idiot: it´s mostly envy. everybody believes to own kinkade any day yet he makes the money. serious money. i´m not hating on him i just thought it was funny how much off a copycat strubel is
it is envy. but it's not just envy coz then we'd all hate any successful artist. It's perhaps anger at the fact that someone who paints such horribly naff and twee pictures can get loaded. the pictures make me sick, but good on him for being a great business man, i say.
This is funny cuz some guys over another Art forum are currently discussing Kinkade and envy.
Me personally, I have nothing against the man, but I really hate that art style. The lighting is cool to a point (although IMPOSSIBLY bright and looks like the house is ablaze from the inside), but the subject matter is just so "gingham, geese and pies". Eyuck.

Wow guys, it's been a while. I've been meaning to post the after photos of our bedroom, but with my training for the Leadville 100 taking precedence, the blog had been put on the back burner way longer than I imagined. Now that my training is over for the year, it's time for more blogging! If you remember this post about my inspiration and our before photos of our bedroom, I talked about how I had envisioned a very minimal bedroom for us… well it has been done for many months and I'm excited to finally share the after photos with ya'll. I love how the acacia floors we put in are almost the exact match to the rest of the living room floors that were installed by the prior owners. I now feel like the main living space has a more cohesive look with the same flooring throughout and not chopped up by the dirty carpet. We finally bit the bullet and purchased a real bed frame after we moved in last year. Such an adult purchase, but one I hope will last years! I repurposed our old side tables and painted them black to match our other accents like our amazing ceiling fan and sconces. We had kept some left over wood from when Zach had built our dining room table and I felt like our bedroom needed that touch of rusticness to it, so I put together this simple DIY table that helps bring together our small mountain gallery wall. With the bed centered under the window, I always felt like the space on either side was super awkward when it was left bare, so I found these beautiful lanterns and bought some brass chain from Ace Hardware to hang them from the ceiling. One has a huge air plant in it from Ironwood, and the other has a white candle in it. Since the lanterns were a little pricey and I wanted to depart from my need to have symmetry in every room, I ended up doing another DIY inspired from this post on the right side of the bed. So easy and cheap! Of all the design elements in this room, I had the hardest time picking out a rug, which shouldn't surprise me by now since almost every room that I've decorated in this house or in our Michigan home, finding the "right" rug always stumps me. I wanted to bring in more color, but didn't want it overly loud, so I decided to go more the "traditional" route with this navy rug that coordinated with our our navy linen duvet. Overall, the design is relatively simple and clean, which creates a very stress free atmosphere. What do you guys think? This was one of the first rooms we had officially finished this year, so I'm stoked to share how the rest of our house is progressing as we've come a long way since February!

Looking for a doctor in Tampa
I am looking for a doctor with post-polio experience in the Tampa, FL area. I have not been diagnosed, and am not sure if my problems are post-polio related, but the symtoms are similar. I had polio when I was one year old.
Re: Looking for a doctor in Tampa
While I have not taken mom to this clinic, the closest and apparently the only one is in Ocala Florida. We are in St. Pete. When mom fell and broke her femur our PCP sent us to Dr Stephen Warren for her surgery, etc. I was pleased with him. He seems to know what he is doing although his bedside manners could use just a tiny little but of work! lol

A BIP is an education based program that makes victim safety its primary priority, holds offenders accountable, and promotes a coordinated community response to domestic violence. The goal of a BIP is to provide men who use violence with the opportunity and skills to change the behavior, beliefs, and attitudes that support their use of violence against intimate partners.
Certified BIPs work closely with community courts, corrections, and child welfare as they receive most of their referrals from these entities. Batterers' Intervention groups meet on a weekly basis for 26-40 weeks depending on the program. Furthermore, BIPs are required to collaborate with victim service providers to ensure that the victim/survivor/partner of a participant receives and/or has access to supportive services.
Click here for a map of BIP programs in Indiana.
ICADV's Role in the Batterers' Intervention Program Standards
In accordance with IC 35-50-9-1, the Indiana Coalition Against Domestic Violence (ICADV) is responsible for overseeing the Batterers' Intervention Program (BIP) Standards and certification process to ensure overall quality and consistency for service providers (both individuals and programs) that work with men who use violence.
In order to obtain program certification, an applicant must submit a detailed policy and procedure manual utilizing the ICADV BIP standards as minimum guidelines for operation. Each program policy must include detailed procedures for implementation that align with the program's structure, capacity, and mission. Additionally, each program must employee certified providers. To obtain provider certification, an individual applicant must complete the required observation, facilitation, and education requirements outlined in Standard 1.3.
Certified programs are required to re-submit policies and procedures, curriculum, participant orientation information, and victim safety requirements biennially for review by the ICADV program coordinator. In addition, each certified facilitator is required to be monitored quarterly by a recognized victim advocate. These reports are submitted to the ICADV program coordinator for review and follow up if necessary.
Next Steps: Serving all Offenders
ICADV recognizes that, regardless of an abuser's biological sex or gender identity, domestic violence is a grave personal and social problem. It is necessary to have uniformly competent, ethical interventions to protect the safety of all victims and to hold all abusers accountable. Members of marginalized groups who are referred to intervention programs have a right to expect to be held accountable in equal measure to people from dominant groups; to be treated with equal levels of fairness and competence; and to face similar consequences, financial or otherwise.
At the same time, ICADV recognizes that heterosexual men, heterosexual women and LGBTQ people come to the intervention with distinct collective histories; differing beliefs that flow from unique cultural identities, lived experiences, and distinct elements that contribute to the core cause of their use of violence, power and control. For this reason, ICADV has undertaken to establish separate intervention programs standards for heterosexual men, for heterosexual women, and for members of LGBTQ communities. The initiative to develop distinct standard will begin in fall of 2015.
ICADV BIP Standards and Application Guide 2015-2017
- Form A: Program Application
- Form B: Provider Application
- Form C: Provider Code of Ethics
- Form D: Provider Advancement Application
- Form E: CEU Submission Form
- Form F: Monitoring Report
- Form G: Annual Report Form
- Form H: Recertification Application
Click here for a video by Terry Moore, Nonviolent Alternatives, on training Family Case Managers about the DCS Standards for BIP. It explain what a Batterers Intervention Program is, what it isn't, and how it differs from typical counseling. It also discusses why BIP facilitators can't report "progress" but can only report compliance with rules.
History of BIPs in Indiana
- 1997-2000: Programs across the state working with both men who use violence and survivors contacted ICADV to form the original BIP committee. This committee, with input from key stakeholders, drafted the first ICADV BIP Standards. The ICADV Board of Directors adopted the standards in November 2001.
- 2001-2010: While considered best practice, obtaining BIP certification was a voluntary commitment.
- 2007: The BIP committee reviewed and revised the standards.
- 2011: Effective July 2011, the Indiana State Legislature passed SB 465 requiring that those individuals convicted of domestic battery and sentenced to a batterers intervention program, must attend an intervention program certified by ICADV. As anticipated, ICADV received an influx of BIP applications for review. Since July 2012, the number of certified programs has increased from six to twenty programs statewide.
- 2013-2015: In August 2013, the ICADV program coordinator and technical assistance coordinator convened three regional town hall meetings to discuss strengths, weaknesses, and implementation barriers in the current standards. It was also at these meetings that representatives from each region were elected to serve on the newly formed advisory council. In October 2013, the ICADV BIP Advisory Council began reviewing and revising the standards adopted in 2007. On March 20, 2015 the ICADV Board of Directors approved the revised Standards.
- In 2016, the Standards were updated and approved by the Board of Directors.

Pitt, Aniston: Wedding or Not?
Brad Pitt and "Friends" star and Emmy nominee Jennifer Aniston are not getting married. Oh, wait, maybe they are. It all depends on whether you trust the gossip columnists (such as Britain's Sun tabloid and E! Online's Ted Casablanca), who say they will, or Pitt's and Aniston's publicists, who insist they won't.
A few days ago, the Sun reported that Pitt and Aniston are set to marry next weekend, in a private ceremony in Malibu, Calif. After that report, we checked with the couple's flacks, who denied it.
Now Casablanca says that the invitations have been mailed out and the cake has been ordered. We checked again with the proper publicists. Again, the word is no.
Rumor about the Hollywood lovebirds' wedding plans have been rampant in recent weeks. Pitt, 36, and Aniston, 31, have been dating since early 1998.
So, stay tuned …
Meanwhile, in other Brad Pitt news, police are searching for Athena Marie Rolando, 21, of Los Angeles, who was arrested last year for sneaking into Pitt's home. The woman failed to show up for two court hearings related to the case and is being sought for violating her probation terms.
