Rebirth refuge by the river
A lazy afternoon by the water at the Ffort Serena SpaMembers of Abybaby belt it out at Rendezvous, the reunion meet of South Point School, at International Club. More than a thousand alumni members danced through the evening, organised by Aspexs. Rokeya Hosain
Enjoy the magical purity of an oil-and-water massage in the multi-stream Vichy shower; defy gravity with Epsom salt and float on warm water in the Floatarium; take a seawater bath to relax and soothe sore muscles; or revitalise yourself with a traditional South Indian Kalari massage.
The Ffort Serena Spa, located on the banks of the Hooghly in Raichak, about a 90 minute drive from the city centre, is now ready with its array of international-quality personalised pampering treatments, based on a fusion of aromatherapy, ayurveda, European and Thai traditions.
Promoted by GGL Hotel and Resort Company Ltd, in collaboration with The Serena Spa of Maldives, the rejuvenation refuge is designed by architect Prabir Mitra, who had created the adjoining Ffort Radisson as well. This spa is a metaphor for rebirth or return to the mothers womb. Thats where life is born and nurtured, where peace and tranquillity, security and innocence are found for the first and perhaps, the last time. Thats exactly the environment we have created for visitors to the Ffort Serena Spa, explains Mitra.
There is a central water-body with a tree of life in the middle. The landscaping is of aquatic plants, floaters and creepers, to induce a soothing feeling. The three-level structure can be negotiated by a circumambulatory ramp, which ensures that no kinetic energy is lost while going up, even as one gains in potential energy.
The spiral journey leads to the top of the womb which provides a breathtaking view of the river on one side and a birds-eye view of the central waterbody on the other. The healing process starts during the walk itself, since both body and mind are put at ease, observes the architect.
Managed by Serena Spa, which has close to 20 spa and resort operations in Maldives, India, Kenya, Sri Lanka and Thailand, the Raichak spa offers a host of regular and customised anti-stress therapies. We have tailor-made programmes to treat various degrees of stress, through different kinds of massages, hydrotherapy, body scrubs and wraps, cellulite reduction, spiritual and exercise disciplines, says Reena John, spa in-charge.
The Ffort Serena Spa also offers slimming programmes, health and beauty treatments at the specialised beauty salon, cardio-vascular machines and free weights at the fitness centre, low-calorie vegetarian meals at the spa restaurant and fresh vegetable and fruit juices at the natural extract bar once the treatment is complete.
Level One has the boutique, salon, locker rooms, the Vichy shower and Floatarium, the plunge pool, jacuzzi and steam bath and the knife-edge pool and the herbal bath in a pool of warm water, aromatic oils, salts and floating flowers. The yoga and meditation rooms are located on Level Two, while the treatment area, relaxation room and the bistro are housed on Level Three, all looking out on the river. Manicured gardens, jogging and walking trails by the Hooghly complete the international spa experience.
Subhro Saha
Lifting the veil
There is scant material on her extraordinary life and times. The decrepit buildings on Waliullah Lane, Taltala Lane and Asylum Lane are probably the last vestiges of her service to womens education in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. When Bani Dutta started digging up material for a documentary film on Rokeya Sakhawat Hosain, all she had was this lone semi-blurred photograph (left) to fall back on.
Rokeya had a very subdued personality and she has scarcely written anything about herself. The modest house on Waliullah Lane, where she started a school with eight Muslim women as students, doubled as her residence. I wanted the film to capture her versatility this self-taught woman from a conservative family who learnt several languages, wrote numerous essays and a novel in English, and made a tremendous impact on womens education with her progressive ideas, says the reticent 66-year-old director of Rokeyar Katha. Dutta earlier made a documentary on Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay that was screened at Bangladesh Film Festival 2000.
For 30 minutes of Rokeyar Katha, Dutta canned the weather-beaten school buildings in central Calcutta and the graveyard in Panihati, where Rokeya is supposedly buried. Besides, Dutta procured books authored by her from Bangladesh and also fished out a rare photograph of a young Rokeya with her husband.
Her concepts are extremely relevant even today. The film was conceived in order to highlight the aspects of this modest personality, says Dutta, a graduate in film-direction and script-writing from FTII, Pune.
Keeper of the legacy
The sweet melodies of Dwijendra Lal, Rajanikanta and Atulprasad are fading fast from public memory, largely due to lack of awareness. Of the few singers trying to carry forward their rich legacy is Nupurchhanda Ghosh. I began my singing lessons at Dakshinee and got a diploma in Rabindrasangeet. Pandit A.T. Kanan trained me in Hindusthani classical music for some time. Later, Samaresh Ray taught me the songs of Himanghsu Dutta, says the 45-year-old singer.
But all along I had been under the strict guidance of Krishnadi, adds Ghosh. Twenty years of training under Krishna Chattopadhyay, the exponent of Dwijendra geeti, Rajanikantargaan and Atulprasader gaan, has given her voice a silken touch and her expressions a certain degree of maturity. Since 1995, Ghosh has been regularly performing at shows abroad, enthralling audiences at New Jersey, New York, Albany, West Virginia and Canada, besides being part of the Boston Biswa Banga Sammelan in 2001.
In a bid to reach these musical maestros to a wider audience, Ghosh translated some of their songs and rendered them in English at the New York State University and University of Pennsylvania, drawing spontaneous and enthusiastic response from students.
Music sessions apart, Ghosh is equally keen on researching the works and multifaceted talents of the trio. Her Ananya Atulprasad is a well-researched biography. Last year, Bandish a neat package of the book, a cassette (Eto kolahole, comprising Dwijendralal and Rajanikanta tunes) and a bunch of cards painted on the songs was released at MusicWorld. The Nehru Childrens Museum will present Ghosh in a workshop with youngsters between seven and 18 this weekend.
Fresh act
Buoyed by the recent public response to his stage performance as Biswatrash Hitler, Santigopal is on the lookout for a playwright who can help the jatra samrat bring Rabindranath Tagore alive on stage.
Back under the spotlight after more than 15 years in hibernation, the man known for portraying myriad roles, mythological and contemporary, now wishes to play Indias first Nobel laureate. I have played Hitler, Lenin, Stalin, Mao Zedong, Swami Vivekananda and Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose since the early 70s. Now I am keen on appearing in the role of the beloved poet, he says. However, I am yet to find a playwright who can dramatise Tagores multi-dimensional personality and diverse pursuits, he adds.
Santigopal, the stage chameleon who could don different faces with effortless ease, has re-emerged in the jatra arena under the banner of Nandik. If I get somebody to write a drama on Tagore, my life's ambition will be fulfilled, smiles the 65-year old.
At present, however, he is busy rehearsing and enacting the role of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose. The big day, of course, is Netajis 106th birth anniversary, when he will perform at a state-backed do for which he is in touch with minister for fire services Pratim Chatterjee and minister of state for civil defence Srikumar Mukherjee.
January 23 will see Santigopal delivering the famous lines Aamay rokto dao, aami tomader swadhinata debo (Give me blood, I shall give you freedom) in full INA gear from a makeshift dais on Red Road with nearly 100 civil defence personnel dressed up as jawans. Though I enacted the role of Netaji in Aami Subhas Bolchhi way back in 1972-73, this will be special, he added.

Reliability of 2.5" external drives?
I've done a bit of research but I'm not sure if these drives actually are less reliable than equivalent 3.5" ones. I have tended to use these for back-ups and have had a few problems with a Toshiba and a Freecom Toughdrive. Is it perhaps down to the fact that most of these drives do not require a separate power supply but are powered solely by the USB connector and perhaps are more prone to electrical connection issues. I used to have a USB ethernet connector before I upgraded my system and this had problems showing in the event log which was cured by cleaning the connector with electrical contact cleaner. Perhaps it is simply the USB connectors. Any thoughts or experiences?
|My System Specs
|29 Oct 2011
Not my expeience. I have six 2.5" USB powered disks of all different makes. Never had a problem. The one I use the most is a Hitachi - really solid. You must though watch that they do not get excessive shocks when you move them around. I move mine a lot overseas, but I always carry them in my hand luggage.
Next best would be an external SSD - budget allowing.
|My System Specs
|29 Oct 2011
We have 5 WD 2.5" portables and fortunately haven't had a problem. But they will need full USB port power. Use a powered hub or a Y USB splitter if required.
Keep the USB cable short because IR voltage drop can definitely be a problem.
On one of my PCs there is a thin long wire run from the Mobo to the front USB connector - ok for USB flash drives but NOT for a portable HDD.
|My System Specs
|29 Oct 2011
mjf, although your point on a seperate USB power cable is well taken, but it can be a pain. I have one of those with a seperate USB power cable. With only 3 USB ports on most laptops that requires some logistics if you have other devices (printer, projector (when I teach a class) etc.).
|My System Specs
|29 Oct 2011
Do you mean the Y splitter?
If so then yes I agree with your point. With the short cables generally provided with portable HDD the one USB connector should be enough. Also with laptops I believe a lot of the time they are operated close to a powerpoint and a powered hub would be a must have for me anyway.
|My System Specs
|29 Oct 2011
Yes, the Y splitter. I try to avoid extra cables to the outlets. I have 1 desktop and 2 laptops that are 3 feet apart. Plus 2 printers, 3x3.5" disks, audio, modem, router, phone, extra lamps, etc. You should see the cable mess under the desks.
|My System Specs
|30 Oct 2011
It is a time related issue as I do treat them with care and with the last little problem, the Toshiba, scanning the drive for faults produced no evidence of any although I had to copy some files twice because it seems they had become corrupt. They all have been in use for several years and were fine to begin with. Just wondered if others had any of the same problems as I know electrical contact issues can affect all the parts within a computer not just the external connectors.

Amazing work, the way the background appears to be moving is a nice touch
This is cool! It looks just like that background is flying by! Amazing work!
Good work!
SO COOL!!! it kinda hurts my eyes to look at, almost like it's constantly pulsing really really fast!
This picture is very stunning. I absolutely love the wolf in the picture! As for the background it reminds me of a blistering storm, the wind blowing so hard that ice crystals and droplets fly sideways. (Been in one of those on a bike) There is absolutely nothing bad about this picture at all.
Very well done, the wild background adds all clarity to the wolf
Very cool!
This background...is trippy.

We were a group of 20 friends that rented this property for skiing at Sunday River over the New Year's holiday week. We had such a wonderful time and the house was a perfect fit for our group!
Some highlights:
-Richard is a responsive and friendly owner
-The property manager was readily available as well
-Clean and well maintained house
-Large common space upstairs and downstairs
-Lots of space for people to cook and eat
-Wonderful entertainment space downstairs (with ping pong and pool tables)
-Spacious bedroom and lots of beds (can truly sleep 26 people if needed)
-Plenty of linens and towels provided
-Very well equipped kitchen and a great outdoor grill
-Nice and clean hot tub
We had some water issues during our stay due to a glitch in the water filtration system that caused a minor flood- thankfully the property manager was extremely responsive and it was very quickly and professionally resolved. It did cause some discoloration/sediment in the tap water but it was only for a day. I think this is something that will likely be permanently fixed and it did not negatively impact our overall stay.
As for proximity to Sunday River, it is a good 20 minute drive to the mountain but that is something our group was okay with. The grocery store was only a 10 minute drive and there is a gas station within walking distance for basics.
I would 100% rent this property again if my group chooses Sunday River for skiing next year. It also looks like it is really wonderful in the summer as well because it is right on the lake. It was a beautiful (and frozen) view for us!
This house is right on Bryant Pond with huge windows overlooking the pond. Every room in this house is large. We were a group of 15 and it never felt like there were that many people there. The property is kept up and the house was clean. The kitchen is fully stocked including spices, sugar, etc. The beds are comfortable and there are plenty of towels for everyone. There are 2 washers and dryers if you need them. You don't even need to leave the house, there is plenty of entertainment in the house. Although we didn't meet the owners in person, they are very nice and responded to telephone calls and emails immediately. Everyone in our group only had positive things to say while we were there.
This is the 2nd year we have rented and the place is outstanding. The facility is very clean and can easily accommodate large parties (Family reunions, retreats, etc.). Nice open floor plan on the main living level and a great pool table and ping pong space in the finished basement make it perfect for our crew. The weather was nice enough for us to congregate out on the deck and the hot tub is a great feature. Hope to be back next year!

The CIMS is based in Villa Pace in Messina, residential multi-level, built in the mid 800 from the English family Sanderson, acquired by the family Bosurgi and since 1992 member of the University of Messina. Restored and renovated, surrounded by a large Mediterranean park and with an exceptional view of the Strait, as well as hosting various educational facilities and research at the University of Messina and a stable construction, the Pharmacy Museum, Villa Pace is frequently beautiful setting of exhibitions, meetings and cultural events
Villa Pace
The ancient name of the city, Zancle, a Greek word meaning "sickle", reflects the unusual curved shape of the harbour which since antiquity has made it a safe landing- pIace. In pre-Greek times it was in- habited by autochthonous people, possibly Sicels. In the 8th century BC Ionians and Chalcidians founded the first urban nucleus between the San Ranieri peninsula and the harbour zone. The town began to grow, favored by trade and port traffic. After the 5th century BC, as a result of internal conflicts, it was destined to alternating vicissitudes. Messenian populations changed its name to Messina. After a period of Carthaginian domination ( 426 BC), the city achieved its freedom and formed an alliance with Syracuse but, having been recaptured by the Carthaginians, it was destroyed by the Carthaginians in 396 BC. The new city, rebuilt in the Hellenistic period by Dionysius I of Syracuse, fell once again to the Carthaginians, from whom it was liberated by Timoleon. In 289 the city was occupied by a group of mercenaries from Campania who had been expelled from Syracuse, the Mamertines. When these were on the point of being overcome by the Syracusans and the Carthaginians, they asked Rome for help in 264 BC, the year when the First Punic War broke out. Having passed under Roman control in 263 BC, Messina became a federate city. It continued to prosper until the fall of the Western Roman Empire (AD 476). After the dark period of the Barbarian invasions, Messina returned to splendor in the Byzantine Age, when the trading activities of the port were revived. In 843 AD it was overcome by the Muslim invaders and the inhabitants fled in mass to Rometta, and organized their resistance. They capitulated only in 965 AD, when they returned to the city and reorganized its layout and social and economic life. In the Norman period Messina became one of the most important center in Sicily. The royal palace was built, the arsenal began to operate and the city defenses were strengthened by the extension of the boundary walls along the entire coast. The building fever continued in the successive Swabian Age, with further developments in town-planning and new development northwards. After the Angevin age and the War of the Sicilian Vespers, in which Messina immediately played an active part and fought strenuously against the oppressor, a new social and economic order was imposed by Frederick of Aragon, and a new city layout was planned. In the 14th and 15th century, a new entrepreneurial bourgeois class began to develop, devoted particularly to the silk, leather and wool trade. In the 15th century, and even more so in the 16th century, the considerable economic development was accompanied by the opening-up of new roads and squares and the creation of new areas of expansion. The anti-Spanish revolt in 1674-78, which was suppressed with great violence, put an end to the idea of making Messina the capital of the vice-royalty of Sicily. The repression of the revolt, the exile of many families, the burden of new taxes and repeated epidemics caused the impoverishment of the city. The earth- quake in 1783 was the final blow. The process of reconstruction was very slow, partly because of continuous political conflicts and changes in the regime. In the 19th century Messina was a declining city. The achievement of the Unification of Italy, with the sharp gap between north and south, made the situation even worse. A sign of revival, at least for port activities, was the institution of a regular ferry service to Calabria, which continues even today. On 28 December 1908 another violent earthquake almost completely destroyed Messina, killing about 60,000 people. The lengthy and laborious programme of reconstruction aimed at the creation of a city with a modern grid layout, the protection and restoration of the architectural and artistic testimonies that had survived the earthquake and above all at guaranteeing the antiseismic quality of the new buildings. Between the 1930s and the 1950s buildings were constructed along the harbor front which, unlike the uninterrupted stretch of houses that had stood there previously, now consisted of individual constructions which reflected the lively artistic and architectural trends of the period.
The City of Messina has two beautiful coasts and two marvellous lakes (Ganzirri).

made in Italy.
FENIX NTM® - a super opaque nanotech material - is an innovative interior design product, created by Arpa Industriale, that combines elegant aesthetic solutions with state-of-the-art technological performance. It is suitable for both vertical and horizontal use. The external surface of FENIX NTM involves the use of nanotechnology and it is characterized by next generation acrylic resins, hardened and fixed with Electron Beam Curing process opening up new avenues in the field of interior design.
With low light reflectivity, its surface is extremely opaque, anti-fingerprint and features a very pleasant soft touch. Thanks to the use of nanotechnologies, FENIX NTM thermally heals any superficial micro-scratches, as its name indicates.
In addition, FENIX NTM is highly resistant to scratches, abrasion, rubbing and dry heat. It also withstands impacts, acid-based solvents and household reagents. It significantly reduces the bacterial load making its surface hygienic and easy to clean. It is also liquid repellent and mould-proof.
Discover all the properties of smart material >
Thanks to its special characteristics, FENIX NTM can be used for both horizontal and vertical surfaces and a very wide range of typical interior design applications, both for home and business markets: kitchens, bathrooms, as a material for worktops, coating shutters, doors and walls, for splashbacks; hospitality, healthcare, as well as furnishings and fittings such as tables, bookcases, chairs, partitioning.
Its surface characteristics make it a high-performance material and, furthermore, it can represent a valid alternative to other materials, such as solid surfaces and glass, with the added advantage of easy workability.
Ever since it was launched, FENIX NTM has been a "must" for a large number of companies for their new kitchen and fitting out projects thanks to its innovative and high-tech nature. It is not only a functional material satisfying the large number of day-to-day demands but also provides a new language to reveal its unique identity.
Be inspired by what has already been created with FENIX NTM >
Our colour range includes a choice of classic timeless colours inspired by nature, pearlescent shades with a superb effect on supermatt surfaces and an exclusive selection of materic expressions. The stylistic choice for this material with an evocative surface was inspired by nature itself: warm or cool whites from winter landscapes; intense greys of still waters or the pearlesance of thunderous torrents; magnolia and beige that capture the very essence of the terra; the blue and black of star-lit or very dark skies.
Discover the range of colours and download photos of decorative surfaces >
The Thin version of FENIX NTM must be placed onto a substrate and is similar to HPL laminate panels in terms of workability, without needing any special equipment. Edges can be applied to the material using two different methods: using 1.2mm thick FENIX NTM with polyurethane glue, or using industrial edging systems, with ABS edges or polymer material, either with traditional methods, new laser systems or hot air systems.
The Solid version is workable with a machining centre/pantograph and diamond milling, using similar machining methods as for compact HPL.

The Rogak Report: 04 Feb 2008 ** No Fault - Covered Accident **
[Un-named Applicant] v. Regional Transit Service Inc., AAA Case No. 412007029036, AAA Assessment No. 17 991 17812 07 (Thomas J. McCorry, Esq., Arbitrator)
Edited by Lawrence N. Rogak
In a "novel and unique" decision, a No-Fault arbitrator has held that when a vehicle strikes a pothole, any injury resulting to a driver or passenger qualifies for no-fault benefits.
The Applicant, a bus driver for Regional Transit Services, a self insured bus company, was involved in an accident on 4/25/06, when the bus that she was driving struck a pothole, causing an injury to her left shoulder.
On 10/11/2006 following a hearing before the Workers Compensation Board the claimant received an award indicating that she had a work related injury to her left shoulder.
The claimant then sought the income that she would be entitled to under No-fault, after the credit for the Workers Compensation payment.
"Respondent argues... as the basis of its denial, that the Applicant `should not be able to proceed against R-GRTA in this claim because Applicant was not involved in an `accident' as required by the No-fault law."
"A loss," according to the Respondent, "must occur as result of an accident in which ownership, use , operation or maintenance of a motor vehicle is involved."
"It was argued further that, hitting a pothole while driving, while unfortunate, involves no extraordinary factors distinguishing accidents from other merely unexpected events."
The Arbitrator held, "I respectfully disagree. In addition to testifying to hitting the pothole, Applicant indicated that there had been numerous complaints, by other drivers, as to what was described as problems with the steering and suspension system, on this series of buses."
"While that issue of a maintenance problem, by itself could create coverage under Nofault, I find it difficult to distinguish this accident, from the striking of any road hazard, such as a car, a train, a tree or a deer."
"Counsel sites the definition of the term `accident' as used in automobile policies, to refer to an event involving some trauma ,violence, or casualty, or application of external force in which the auto is involved. See, Michaels v City of Buffalo 85 NY2d 754 ,651 N.E 2d 1272 . I find however, that the striking of a pot hole is an event, which involved trauma to the vehicle and to the operator and as such, should be considered an accident under the No-fault regulations."
"Both sides agree that the questions raised in this Arbitration were novel and unique."
Comment: I think that a decision like this opens potential floodgates for fraud. All someone would have to do is to identify any pothole on any public street, then claim they drove their car into it and start treating. No damage to the car would have to be demonstrated, because in most cases no damage results from hitting potholes (and at most, a blown tire or dented rim results). Nor are police accident reports usually generated when a car hits a pothole.
Be on the lookout for enterprising claimants to begin submitting this type of claim en masse.

Guillermo del Toro Has Already Completed His Vampire Novels
by Kevin Powers
January 9, 2009
Source: MTV
Back in September, Variety reported that Guillermo del Toro had teamed up with writer Chuck Hogan to pen a series of books chronicling the origins of vampires, beginning with a focus on a modern-day vampiric virus that infects New York City. Obviously, we can cite much material that sounds similar, considering the recent trendiness of the night feeders, but the point here is how Del Toro would accomplish such a task given his harried schedule for the next decade. Our friends at MTV caught up with the creative mastermind, and while he didn't elaborate much, he did confirm that the books have already been written. Great news to my ears, since I love the idea of Del Toro's mind taking on vampire.
"The novels – it's been written already. Chuck Hogan and I have been collaborating for over a year. I wrote the outline for that novel almost two years ago. These things seem to happen simultaneously, but the reality is they are announced simultaneously." Del Toro talked a little about the nature of the story: "I wanted to find a place to create a vampiric epic that takes you all the way to the modern day, to find out when the vampires started - going beyond Mesopotamian myth, going beyond all of that. Not the attractive, Brad Pitt-esque, decadent lovers that have sex. I wanted to make them like an alternate species and an alternate spiritual creature to man, and the idea is that the series will flesh out that re-invented vampiric myth - respectful of the lore, but taking you through the ages."
The first book in the series, called "The Strain", is already available for pre-order on Amazon, even though it's not due out until next summer. "The first novel is sort of a procedural horror novel, which starts at an investigation of a plane that is essentially like the ship in [Stoker's] 'Dracula' - it just stopped and everybody on board was dead and an investigation ensues… what happens is an epidemic." I doubt we'll see these stories come to life on screen anytime soon (if not just because of Del Toro's schedule), which means we'll actually have to read instead of watch this time around. But with Del Toro's incredible imagination and enthusiasm, there's little concern that this story won't be the next great addition to the vampire genre.

Decor in the children's room plays a big role because it affects the emotional perception of the world and the child.It is important to select only bright shades of any of palettes: spring, winter, summer, autumn.
revive any interior ceiling chandeliers Children, painted in several colors, decorated with patterns, beads, bows.
We select children's chandelier
correct will choose ceiling chandeliers Children are not only based on the compatibility of colors, but also on the compatibility of styles.For the boy's room is characterized by modern, minimalist, primitivism, but not in pure form, everything tends to eclecticism.
Designers often use eco materials for modern interior.Rooms girls often decorate in shebi chic, art deco, Victorian, glamorous, Norwegian, country style.
rooms for the boys to a greater extent peculiar tematichnost, reflecting the ceiling light in the nursery shown in the photo.Popular topics: football, basketball, boxing, space, rally, wrestling, surfing.
If a room full of girls colors, the ceiling fixture in the nursery can be neutral or white color-series, its form is any.Here you can choose the base color warm tone and color companion - cold.
But do not make too obvious emphasis on cool shades, in the children's design, there should be no more than 1/3 of the total color.
There is a type of design children's rooms, where children chandelier ceiling absorbs virtually all the colors of the interior is a perfect one hundred percent "hit" in the design of the room.Then the chandelier becomes a full-fledged part of the interior.
The modern interior design is such a thing as trend colors, it came from high fashion.In the interior of the combination of light green and turquoise is a trend.
to trend combinations include mint-green and purple, dark chocolate and cream, cherry and a muted gray, pink quartz and gray-blue, coral and salmon.A role for the perception of the interior plays textiles.
Shaggy pillows and blankets can be darned buttons to make your own hands.
There are several ways to make a chandelier with his hands -priobresti Designer soft plastic bright colors and gather it into a ball.The second way -namochit PVA glue woolen thread, tie a dense layer of the inflated balloon before it.
When the glue is dry, thread will form a ball, which then burst and removed from the resulting lamp shade.On the Internet there is a video guide, you will have.
Sometimes old glass chandelier from the living room to look in the children's dignity - the price of such a choice of lenses -Carefully laundering.
Another interesting option handmade chandeliers made of wood.From the pope needed a little ability to work with wood and wire.
Note that it is the asymmetry of decorative lamps makes the room alive, because everything else neatly arranged on shelves.
good idea with a compass, you can offer other ideas: light-eyes, sun-light, light, flower, any object with a rounded central part.
curved chandelier 10 electric candles, pastel wallpaper in tone, not the white shade of white, bordered by pastel abundance of fabrics - taffeta, silk, cotton and tulleon the bed.Room for girls created in the best traditions of the era.
Add to simplified gold chandelier -moveton Norway, despite the fact that it could be combined with golden bedsides.
In this room, a lot of attention paid to the forms, since forms of chandeliers, ending the bed, fabric texture and patterns.
If decor is very bright
Striped minimalistic design of the children's room pleases the eye with its brightness.In order not to overdo it with of color, the designer chose a neutral white chandelier, removing its decorative function.
decals popularity knows no bounds, these themed stickers to the walls and ceiling are important in the design of the rooms.In particular, they are valuable for the design theme and children.
decal is in the form of letters and numbers, colors, children's drawings.
Again trending combination
It should be noted that the creators of functional ceiling decorin alpine style have not invented anything new: they still offer chandeliers hang from the horns of deer and red deer treated curved and painted dark paint branch.
abundance textured material pendant bed, lots of pillows, pastel, spring sketch behind-all this speaksfavor the use of primitive downlights.Create your kiddies bright and comfortable interior, a comfortable place for games.

One of the hallmarks of autism is rigid thinking - getting into patterns that are very hard to break. Seemingly anything can become habitual, at any time. Around here the patterns often stem from pairings - things that Ryan has decided go together that can never be apart or paired with anything else. Perhaps he has a future as a sommelier. Other times, the patterns are predetermined reactions - the absolute opposite of spontaneity. It's like full-body scripting.
Here are some of the newer patterns in this house:
- For maybe the last week, every time Ryan takes his first sip of a cup of milk, he shouts, exactly the same way every time, "It's a milk mustache! Get me a towel!" It doesn't matter if you offer him a straw - the first sip always results in this routine. As a result, he's drinking a lot less milk these days
- Similarly, whenever he eats chocolate, he declares, in exactly the same way every time, "I'm dirty! Get me a towel!" Chocolate consumption is not affected.
- Bananas are one of his top three favorite foods; "nana" was his first word for "food." Strangely, he still has trouble pronouncing this word - he says "bwana." Anyway, whenever he notices there's a banana lying around, before asking for it, he will declare, "Maybe bwana will help," as if he's been mulling some deeply troubling global potassium shortage.
- In the bathtub, he insists on singing "Curve of the World" from "It's a Big Big World." He has not seen this show in about a year, it has nothing to do with water, and he doesn't sing it in any other context.
- He's started making this weird throaty vocal sound to punctuate... something, perhaps the end of an unspoken thought. It sounds like "nta." It's totally annoying to me; Stu says he barely notices it. Oh, how I wish for his level of man-focus.
- When eating dry Kix, if he drops a piece (a Kick?) he will pick it up, but instead of just eating it, he will place it back in his bowl, then pick up that exact same piece again and eat it.
These habits last a long time, we push back against them and try to mix things up, then suddenly they dissolve and are replaced with new patterns. Rinse, repeat.
My kid is awesome! And he is autistic and has ADHD. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Watch us navigate the world of neurodiversity.

text: Question: I found your site in a search on Google for ;starting a coal fire;. I have a small fireplace/stove on a boat. I have tried to get a coal fire going in it without any luck. I have read your tips on starting a coal fire, but I haven't been able thus far to get it going. I have used charcoal to get the fire going and then I add small amount of coal. The coal burns to the point of getting red where it touches the charcoal, but I don't get anything more than that - I'm not sure what I ought to get actually - your description refers to a blue flame, but I haven't gotten that. How long should it take for the coal to ignite fully so that it will burn for an extended time (eg overnight)? I think the coal is good quality (low sulfur anthracite from the Blaschak Coal Co.). Because this is on a boat, the chimney stack is not very high, but I also have a bellows to increase the airflow. Answer: Sounds like one of a few potential problems. 1. Underfire air...Does all the air enter your coal stove below the grates. If not, it will not burn hard coal. 2. Lack of draft - The bellows will not help....coal needs to have a reasonable draft. 3. Lack of high enough ignition temperature. Try burning hardwood in the stove and then , when the wood is all hot embers, adding a few small shovelfuls of coal. If this coal ignites well, then follow coal tips from there.

Pretoria - Prison authorities have confirmed that disgraced former police chief Jackie Selebi has been admitted to the intensive care unit of Steve Biko Academic Hospital in Pretoria."Yes, Mr Selebi is not well. The situation has degenerated.... The doctors who attended to him had to send him to an ICU unit," correctional services commissioner Tom Moyane told SABC news on Monday.A hospital official earlier told the Sowetan newspaper that a "weak" Selebi was moved from the nephrology (kidney) unit, where he had been undergoing dialysis, to the ICU last Wednesday.He was wheeled into the hospital's nuclear medicine unit for X-rays, the official told the newspaper. This was where they checked for cancerous tumours. Selebi was also being examined by cardiologists.The former president of Interpol was admitted to hospital in December. He collapsed in his Pretoria home after learning that his appeal against a 15-year jail sentence for corruption had failed in the Supreme Court of Appeal.
Release him already!!
No - just give him a 7-iron. He'll feel much better.

Edward Crankshaw (1909 - 1984) was a British writer, translator and commentator on Soviet affairs.Born in London, Crankshaw was educated in a non-conformist public school, Bishop's Stortford College in Hertfordshire. He began his career as a journalist at The Times, a position he only held for a few months. In the 1930s he lived in Vienna, Austria, teaching English and learning German (his competent grasp of German led him to become part of the British Intelligence service during World War II). On his return to England he went back to working for The Times and also began to write reviews-mostly musical-for The Spectator, The Bookman, and other periodicals. Crankshaw wrote around 40 books on Austrian and Russian subjects and after the war began his research in much more depth. Crankshaw's book on Nazi terror, Gestapo (1956), was widely read; in 1963 he began to produce more ambitious literary works, often on historical or monumental moments in Russian Political history.

Keeping focus can be difficult to do in the current political recount teapot in Michigan. Currently, there is a recount of all votes in the of Michigan taken on November 8, on behalf of Green Party Candidate Jill Stein's Campaign.
Yet, thousands of votes might remain unrecounted in the State's Largest City of Detroit, and Michigan Republicans are actively trying to stop the recount by lame-duck enacting a retroactive bill.Cause and Effect. The words that can have many meanings.
In the case of Michigan's Presidential Recount of the 2016 Election, the Cause was a question of how Democratic Party Hillary Clinton lost Michigan by the smallest margin in the State's Presidential Election history, 10,704 votes.
The Effect is a recount request by Green Party Candidate Jill Stein which is actively taken place by a U.S. District Court Judge Order on December 5.
"A federal judge has ordered Michigan election officials to begin a massive hand recount of 4.8 million ballots cast in the presidential election at noon Monday," according to The Detroit News.
U.S. District Judge Mark Goldsmith issued a ruling just after midnight Monday in favor of Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein, who sought to let election officials bypass a two-business-day waiting period that would have delayed start of the recount until Wednesday morning."Another Effect would be finding out by the recount request upwards of thousands of ballots might not be available for recounting in the State's Largest Democratic-leaning City of Detroit. This effect should be worrying for all desiring fair and just elections in Michigan.
According to the Detroit News, 392 of the City of Detroit's 662 precincts are unavailable for recounted due to ballot numbers not matching poll book data.
"..In heavily Democratic Detroit, where the number of ballots in precinct poll books did not match those of voting machine printout reports in 59 percent of precincts, 392 of 662," according to the Detroit News.
According to state law, precincts whose poll books don't match with ballots can't be recounted. If that happens, original election results stand".A subsequent Effect should be called out by its name: Voter Suppression.
Voter Suppression occurs when a group of voters justly believe their votes will not matter, believe their votes will not be fairly counted or audited, and live an experience in which despite their votes - their daily lives on an average, are not improving. As in the case of Detroiters with over an 80% minority population, votes.
"Voting rights are under attack nationwide as states pass voter suppression laws. These laws lead to significant burdens for eligible voters trying to exercise their most fundamental constitutional right," said the ACLU.
Since 2008, states across the country have passed measures to make it harder for Americans—particularly black people, the elderly, students, and people with disabilities—to exercise their fundamental right to cast a ballot."Voter Suppression also includes the highly questionable House Bill 6097, sponsored by West Michigan Lame Duck Republican, Lisa Posthumus Lyons.
House Bill 6097 seeks to enact a "Grandfathered" and "Retroactive" measure requiring Green Party Candidate Jill Stein to pay the estimated costs associated with the Presidential Election Recount in Michigan, after the recount began on December 5, 2016.
"HB 6097 would require candidates more than 5 percent of the vote behind the winner to pay the entire actual cost of a statewide recount, and it would be retroactive to the beginning of 2016. It would only apply to statewide and federal offices," said MLive.
A recount of Michigan's vote in the Nov. 8 presidential election began Monday. Stein, the Green Party's presidential candidate, is paying a required fee of $973,250, but Michigan Secretary of State Ruth Johnson has said the actual cost could be $2 million or more.
Michigan Republican Party officials believe the full cost could be much higher. Eric Doster, an attorney for the state party, said the cost could reach up to $12 million."However, at this point, it is an unknown entity what the actual or estimated costs of Stein's recount would be.
Furthermore, it is known that thousands of ballots in the State's Largest City of Detroit might be unavailable to be recounted at all.
That without Green Party Candidate Jill Stein request for a Recount of Michigan's Presidential Election, it is highly doubtful the general public would have known about the on-going issues in 2009, 2013 and now 2016, with recounting votes in Detroit.
State Representative Jeff Irwin, a Democrat from Ann Arbor, Michigan questioned Republican Representative Posthumus Lyons inherent need to make House Bill 6097 "Retroactive".
"Rep. Jeff Irwin, D-Ann Arbor, questioned making the proposed law retroactive, saying it was unfair "to change the rules in the middle of the game," according to MLive.
He argued the current recount is serving as an important "audit" of the process that could uncover fraud as well as "simple incompetence" by election officials.
"Sometimes when we do these recounts, we find irregularities that are worth looking into," Irwin said.Discovering irregularities is likely scratching the surface on what pose to be an issue with any chance of Democrats actively competing with Michigan Governor's race in 2018, with any candidate -- as well as ensuring all votes are fairly counted in Democratic-Leaning Detroit.
Which turns back to the issue of Voter Suppression. An issue that all Michiganders believing in the Right to Vote should be Unfettered, should stand strongly for.

The EX crossover from Infiniti is going its own way, sticking two fingers up at BMW as it does so. Dan Read is impressed with this rival to the new X1.
Click through the gallery for the full story...
You are here
Battle of the Xs
The EX crossover from Infiniti is going its own way, sticking two fingers up at BMW as it does so. Dan Read is impressed with this rival to the new X1.
With a trumpet blast and some posh ceremonial ribbon, Infiniti has officially arrived in the UK. Over the last few months we've tried most of the range, but this is the first time we've been let loose in the EX37. And it's just as curious as the others.
Once you've got your head around the brand (Infiniti is Nissan's posh American cousin) you'll have to get it around the cars. Each is loosely based on the Nissan GT-R platform - a fine starting point - and each gets the 3.7-litre V6 from the 370Z.
The EX is no exception. It's a premium hatch/SUV crossover, nuzzled into a snug corner of the niche thanks to that engine and a rather sturdy £36,500 asking price for this GT version. It will go head-to-head with the BMW X1, though the EX is a smidge bigger and clearly more expensive, at least until you tick all the options on the X1 to match it spec-for-spec, at which point you've splashed £34,875 on the Beemer. That still undercuts the Infiniti, but then the EX gets a V6 over the 2.0-litre engine in the X1.
Inside, the EX is about as roomy as your average hatch, though you sit a little higher. It feels good in here, like being in the low-lit lounge of a boutique hotel; classy without being too bling, ideal for the more modest rapper.
Standard kit on the GT includes part-leather, heated electric seats, Bluetooth, and back seats that flip down at the touch of a button then rise again electrically.
About the only thing that taints the upmarket vibe is the tyre roar, which grows irritating after a while. But you could always use the monster stereo to drown it out.
With all that plushness comes a decent stab of power; its 316bhp engine will takes care of 62mph in 6.4 seconds and max out at 149mph. But use that performance over a typical British B-road and things get a bit fussy. It grips well enough - and the 4WD ensures there's great traction with it - but the car shimmies up and down, exaggerating the road surface where a BMW might flatten it. Hit an abrupt rise and it humps the tarmac a few times before settling down again. It's certainly playful, but after a while it grows tiresome.
The quick and direct steering is better, but only adds to the EX's incongruous mix of dignified luxury and kick-in-the-nuts performance. It's a bit like finding out that Keira Knightley enjoys the occasional cage fight. Maybe next year's V6 diesel version will get the balance right, combining ride and economy in a way that makes more sense in a luxo-car like this.
Rating: 11/20
We say: expensive crossover with a big heart and a luxurious interior. But it will need a diesel to make sense.
Price: £36,500

text: This one is a case of mistaken identity. Long, long ago I was fishing The Metolius with a friend and we were nymph fishing using the dead-drift dropper system. He was catching whitefish and rainbow one right after the other and I was catching zip. Finally, of course, I asked to see what the devil he was using. He showed me the pattern and when I got home I tried to tie the fly from memory. And low and behold, the next time I fished The Met, the pattern worked great. A few years later, I found that what I tied was not what he was using in the least. He was really using a LaFontaine Sparkle Pupa but the fish had torn it up so much that it didn't look like the original pattern. What I tied was not what he was using. It didn't matter. The little guy I came up with does work and is now used by the guys I fish with when we nymph fish rivers. Unfortunately, it doesn't work in stillwaters and that is what I primarily fish these days. It is simple to tie, as are most of what I create, and only works in size 16 and smaller. I call it The bubble Bug: Materials: Hook: Spear-it D312 or similar 2X long wet fly hook, sizes 16-20 Thread: Black 8/0 Tail/Body: Ringneck pheasant tail fibers, natural or dyed olive Shell-back/bubble: Flat antron fibers, white Head: Black dyed ostrich herl Step 1: Attach the thread to the hook and run back and stop just above the hook point. Tie in 4-6 pheasant tail fibers so the tail length is equal to the length of the hook shank. Step 2: Tie in the antron fibers. Step 3: Run the thread forward, wrap the tag end of the pheasant tail fibers forward to create a body. Trim away the excess. Step 4: Fold the antron forward while leaving a slight gap between the body and the shell-back. Tie-off and trim excess. Step 5: Attach two ostrich herl. Step 6: Wrap the herl to form a head. Trim away excess and whip-finish. Go fish! Side note: As it is a controversy if a caddis emerger uses a bubble to rise to the surface, I think this article by Gary Berger makes sense. It isn't the emerging caddis that uses a bubble to swim to the surface but the adult female when she dives down to lay her eggs. This is much more logical as the female adult has access to air before she dives to the bottom than an emerger does when it starts out on the bottom. Perhaps LaFontaine witnessed adult females rising back to the surface after laying their eggs on the bottom. http://www.garyborger.com/2010/01/07/caddis-pupa-husk/

I cannot make a Win 7 MS recovery disk with Acronis 2011 installed
A friend needs a recovery disk to access a backup file on his computers external drive. I said" NP I'll make you one and you can have it!" Little did I realize that installing Acronis makes it impossible to see the option to make a true Win 7 Pro recovery disk. He is using Win 7 home edition.
How do I make one for my buddy?
His son allegedly made a 7 backup to the 1TB drive before the main HD crashed but he didn't make a recovery disk so he can't get at the files! His business is on the image of the HD hopefully we can get it back or he is screwed royally.
Now I can't make one either, I do know that Acronis will allow you to convert Windows backups to Acronis format and vice versa but I don't think an Acronis start up disk would see the Win 7 image.... or would it?
Thanks to all in advance!

I've been using Acronis Trueimage for my backups and never had a problem seeing the Pro 7 backup.
What program did your friend use for the backup?
If you make a boot cd from the Acronis program ( free version) your friend is going to have to have a Seagate, Maxtor or WD hdd for it to work.
This is the reason I always tell anyone who uses this program ( and it is great) to always
create a boot cd.
When you go to Start menu > Seagate Discwizard - are you getting an error?

I think he actually wants to make a windows 7 startup repair disc.
If you install Acronis, you have to change the options to allow you to use windows backup and restore.
Someone correct me if I`m wrong since I no longer use Acronis.
Or simply create the disc on a pc without Acronis.

I guess I wasn't clear in my description of the problem.
With Acronis installed I do not have the option to make a Windows Recovery Disc. Yes I can run Acronis and make an Acronis disc.
As you can see from the attached .jpg the option that was in 7 isn't there anymore, it only shows Acronis as being the only way to make an image or recovery disc (from within Acronis).
My friend has an identical system as mine in the sense he uses Acronis too and Win 7 Pro and HE has the option to make a Windows Recovery disc as well as run Acronis. In other words on his machine for whatever reason installing Acronis didn't obliterate his ability to make a Windows recovery disc.
At this juncture it's all a moot point anyway, the guy I was trying to help says he sent his machine back to Dell for repair. That won't help because the image he needs is on an external drive, it was created using Win 7 according to him. So really I guess I need to ask the question in the Acronis forum and see what they have to say about it as well.
Thanks again!

Yes and I also discover that in Acronis under HELP there is a message box that says " Integrate Acronis with Windows>" when you check that box, at least on my machine all you see is Acronis backup options. Untick the box and you are back to Windows defaults.
There is a registry hack that allows you to see both at once. I don't need that now that I know I can toggle between them if need be, but I can't imagine needing to do it.
This WAS a problem for Acronis initially but has been addressed in their forum.
