Join us on Tuesday November 19th from 11AM – 3PM for this FREE demo, learn & taste! Chef Andrew Shepherd of Island Spice Trade and friends are pairing the best spices from around the world with local and seasonal produce, meats and seafoods.
Seasoning and spicing is the first thing a young cook needs to learn, and it's the hardest thing to teach. There's no miracle recipe to follow. Is the fish fillet sliced thin or is it thick and meaty? Are we planning to finish the dish with fleur de sel? Does the steak get a pepper rub before or after cooking? Great chefs are maniacs about seasoning. While there's no single rule one can follow, you can gauge a confident and precise chef from the way he or she seasons. A perfectly seasoned piece of meat will literally resonate with flavour.

A lot of parents may have heard a thing or two about the importance of vaccines for children at some point in their lives. Truth be told, while marred by bitter controversy, vaccination is extremely important as a child grows. As this excerpt from an article on The Spectrum noted:
Childhood vaccines protect children from a variety of serious or potentially fatal diseases including diphtheria, measles, meningitis, polio, tetanus, and whooping cough.
If these diseases seem uncommon or even unheard of it's usually vaccines are doing their job.
So why is it exactly important for parents to have their children vaccinated at a local center for family care in Flint, like Michigan Health Specialists, as well as others elsewhere?
Vaccines can literally save a kid's life – Vaccines have been continuously refined in conjunction with different advancements in medical research, allowing a child protection against more illnesses than before. In fact, vaccines have been known to completely eradicate diseases throughout history—smallpox, for instance—and it has been found that there are about 103 million fewer cases of most diseases now than in the past.
Vaccines are perfectly safe – Autism and vaccines have been linked in the past, but this is an inaccurate assessment. There have been a lot of autistic children who haven't been vaccinated before, and there are virtually no cases of vaccinated children developing autism, either. Vaccines are only given to children after an intense review process, a measure to ensure that the right dosage is administered. While several adverse reactions like redness, swelling, and even allergies may occur, these are pretty rare and the discomfort they give is nothing compared to the diseases the vaccines themselves prevent.
Vaccines prevent disease spreading in a much wider scale – Adults are well within risk of contracting diseases which can be prevented by vaccines. An infected, unvaccinated child can easily pass the illness along to others in rapid succession.
There are many other reasons why children should be taken to an accredited family care clinic in Flint or any other locale for immunization, but the aforementioned three are the main factors. As the old adage goes, prevention is still much better (not to mention far less expensive) than the cure.

The U.S. economy is experiencing its weakest growth rate in two years. Georgians, and Americans across the country, are feeling the pain. Many of our neighbors are unemployed or under-employed, or working but experiencing extended wage stagnation. President Obama claims that he is proud of where his administration has brought the economy throughout his nearly two terms in office.
What we need is real economic growth. We can achieve that by:
- reducing federal spending;
- making a plan to balance the budget;
- having a strategy for managing our national debt;
- reforming the regulatory climate in Washington and
- by revising the tax code
If we can get our fiscal house in order, remove the "regulations roadblocks" that slow business down and have a more competitive business tax climate (including bringing back to the U.S. the billions of dollars that companies have "sitting on the sidelines" overseas), we can have growth. Real growth.

No stopping Ponting
Andrew Hilditch is backing Ricky Ponting to lead Australia successfully through the summer and beyond.
Last Updated: 19/06/09 2:45pm
Chairman of selectors Andrew Hilditch is backing Ricky Ponting to lead Australia successfully through the summer's Ashes series and beyond.
Ponting's decorated career includes twice being named world player of the year, second place in Test cricket's list of prolific centurions, fourth among all-time run scorers and a raft of winners' medals as captain in global limited-overs events.
The one indelible mark, however, was left by the 2005 Ashes defeat to England and, despite leading the side to a 5-0 whitewash in the 2006-07 return series, he remains highly motivated to set that record straight.
"There's one thing on my cricketing resume that hasn't been achieved yet, and that's being captain of a winning Ashes series in England," Ponting said.
"It's something very dear to my heart, and something I'll certainly be speaking to the players about - making sure we get over that hurdle.
"In 2005, we got off to a great start and then things slipped away from us from there. A lot of us have been there, and learned from our mistakes of last time and we're keen to rectify that."
At 34, Ponting is now the senior figure in Australia's squad and chairman of selectors is keen to see him mentor the new generation of Aussie stars through the next few years.
"Leadership issues are things that we always think about but we are really confident that Ricky will be more than capable of getting through to the 2011 World Cup, and I know that is something he would like to do, so I don't see that as being an issue," Hilditch said.
"We have been very careful with managing his workload in the last three or four years.
"From time to time we will look at his workload, particularly on overseas tours and try and keep it to a manageable level, but for key events Ricky is always going to be a critical member of the side."
Ponting's men will warm-up for the Ashes in a four-day game against Sussex, starting Wednesday, ahead of the eagerly anticipated first Test in Cardiff on July 8.

Bravo's latest ensemble cast reality drama is about to make its debut! For Euros of Hollywood, Bravo is introducing us to six Europeans living in Los Angeles trying to live out their versions of the American dream. With Shahs of Sunset still indefinitely delayed due to a production labor dispute, here's hoping Euros of Hollywood will strike a chord with Bravo audiences.
Euros of Hollywood will premiere Monday, November 3 at 10pm!
A bit about the new series:
From a pop diva known as the "Madonna of Albania" to a Prada-wearing Italian Renaissance man whose goal is to win an Oscar, these ambitious and unfiltered men and women will stop at nothing to rise to the top. With their hearts on their sleeves and a shared bond as Europeans, they will help each other out in their pursuit of fame, fortune and family.
Check out the preview:
Meet the cast:
Isabel Adrian — Sweden
Born and raised in Sweden, Isabel Adrian always dreamed of having a bigger life outside her native country. She is married to Steve Angello from the popular EDM trio Swedish House Mafia, whose hit "Don't You Worry Child" went #1 in three countries, and she unabashedly describes their relationship as the "Brad and Angelina" of Sweden. Isabel built a successful career back home as a model, TV personality, designer and stylist, however, in America she is unknown and struggling to find her own identity which sometimes leads to friction with the other Euros.
Massimo Dobrovic — Italy
A self-dubbed Renaissance man, Massimo Dobrovic is an actor, model and choreographer who dreams of winning an Oscar. Escaping Croatia during the war as a boy, his large family fled to Italy where he developed a passion for fashion, cuisine and acting. He experienced success as an actor in Italy, but moved to Hollywood in the hopes of making it big. Even though he is fluent in five languages, Massimo knows he must work on patience and mastering his American accent before he can land a leading role.
Fawni — Austria
A painter turned pop star, Fawni was born into a family of artists and is well-known in the Viennese art scene. Her latest dance single "It's All About You" was a #1 hit in Japan and climbed the charts across Asia. However, after a difficult divorce from her music manager-husband, Fawni is trying to put her personal and professional life back together. With a positive attitude and help from her Euro friends, this bubbly blond is hoping to finally follow her dreams of being famous in America.
Sascha Gerecht — Germany
An international entrepreneur by day and party boy by night, Sascha Gerecht is a DJ, music producer, clothing designer, and night club and restaurant owner. His intense personality and imposing stature has secured him with the reputation as "The German Tank." Constantly worried about the future and willing to explore almost any business venture to make millions, Sascha moved to Los Angeles to focus on his music career and start his own clothing brand, Rockstars & Angels. He wants to create a better life for his wife and two kids, who still reside in Germany, and is determined to bring them to America and give them the lavish lifestyle they are accustomed to back home. Sascha lives life to the extreme and is always hustling to develop his business, muscles and social connections.
Jannik Olander — Denmark
Born in a small town in Denmark, Jannik Olander always had a passion for style and luxury. He began his career at Ralph Lauren where he distinguished himself at an early age. In 2011, his jewelry line Nialaya took off and he opened his first retail outlet on LA's trendy Melrose Avenue. Popular amongst many A-list celebrities, Nialaya is thriving and Jannik is enjoying the luxurious fruits of his labor. Ever the consummate playboy, this Danish Viking realizes that he'll need to settle down sooner or later. Currently in a relationship with one of his American employees, Jannik must figure out if he can successfully master being the boss and the boyfriend.
Bleona — Albania
Dubbed "The Madonna of Albania" in her native country, Bleona Qereti has been a superstar in Eastern-Europe for over a decade with over eight albums and counting. She began her career at five years old when she was cast in "The House of Pionieri," an Albanian television show similar to "The Mickey Mouse Club." In her early teens she was already Albania's highest profile artist, selling out multi-city tours and performing for presidents, royals and billionaires. Relatively unknown in America, this rebellious and demanding diva is ready to make a name for herself with her supreme star power and infectious dance tracks. However, Bleona's never satisfied with anything that doesn't meet her heightened sense of standards and will stop at nothing until she conquers the US market.
What do you think? Will you be tuning in to meet the Euros on November 3?

COINCIDENCE has played a part in countless Broadway successes -- and failures -- but few shows can claim a list of accidents to rival the nearly forgotten 1967 musical ''Sherry!,'' the subject of a recent two-CD album with a cast of Broadway stars.
Based on the 1939 George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart play ''The Man Who Came to Dinner,'' ''Sherry!,'' with book and lyrics by James Lipton and music by Laurence Rosenthal, closed after 72 performances at the Alvin Theater on Broadway.
George Sanders was supposed to star as the insufferable but irresistible Sheridan Whiteside, a character based on the writer Alexander Woollcott. But by the time ''Sherry!'' was in tryouts in Boston, Sanders's part had been substantially reduced because his wife, the actress Benita Hume, was dying. The decision backfired when the less charismatic Clive Revill replaced him at the 11th hour.
Mediocre reviews ensured the relatively brief Broadway run. (''When you deal with good old plays,'' advised Walter Kerr in The New York Times, ''you've got to be kind to them. They tire.'') But the unkindest cut came after the show closed, when movers accidentally let the music be burned with the sets. Or so it seemed. For more than 30 years, Mr. Lipton (best known as the seemingly animatronic host of the cable television program ''Inside the Actors Studio'') and Mr. Rosenthal (a film and television composer) put ''Sherry!'' behind them.
''When the score was lost,'' Mr. Lipton said recently, ''Larry and I realized we would never know if this work was good, because so much had been changed before we reached Broadway.''Continue reading the main story
Among the curious was the record producer Robert Sher. A devotee of obscure musicals, he had pressed Mr. Lipton about reviving ''Sherry!'' Mr. Lipton wasn't interested. Until, that is, he began discussing a ''Sherry!'' dream cast with Carol Burnett, Nathan Lane, Bernadette Peters and Tommy Tune -- all guests on his television show. Then, in early 2000, Mr. Sher told Mr. Lipton ''the trunk was not burned'' and that the score was in the Library of Congress. With his leads already lined up, Mr. Lipton decided to make a record of ''Sherry!'' and added Keith David, Mike Myers, Phyllis Newman, Tom Wopat and Lillias White to the cast.
Mr. Rosenthal said Mr. Lipton had proposed setting Kaufman and Hart's play to music. ''I thought it was a terrible idea,'' Mr. Rosenthal said. '' 'West Side Story' was more my idea of a musical.'' But Mr. Lipton persisted. Which is why, 37 years later, Mr. Rosenthal wasn't surprised to learn of the cast Mr. Lipton had assembled, nor of the major record label (Angel, part of EMI) he had secured to help bankroll the project.
Ms. Burnett described the making of the recording: ''It was fun. And knowing that Nathan and Bernadette and Tommy were involved certainly didn't hurt.'' Ms. Burnett sings the role of the femme fatale Lorraine Sheldon, whom Whiteside summons to seduce his secretary's suitor because he does not want her to marry, and abandon him. Mr. Lane plays Whiteside, a raconteur and radio commentator who is recuperating from a fall at the home of a rich, smug Ohio couple. In 2000, Mr. Lane portrayed Whiteside in a Broadway revival of ''The Man Who Came to Dinner.''
Now Mr. Lipton has greater hopes for ''Sherry!'' ''This is the show we never got on Broadway, not even close,'' he said. ''I'd love to see it onstage or as a film, or both.''
Should that happen, Ms. Burnett, at least, will be absent. ''I don't want to go back and do eight shows a week,'' she said, ''though I'd love to do just matinees. Unfortunately, that's not how Broadway works.''

Termination from SBI due to non disclosure of pending case
Sir, I was wrongly & forcibly involved in a criminal case related with my marriage to a girl in 2009 and was arrested . In 2010, I applied for SBI and got seleceted in 2011. At the time of joining in Mar 2011 ( 2 yrs Probation), I didn't mention about pending case as it a false one. SBI gave showcasuse notice in Dec 2012 regarding pending case. Then, I got the case compromised in Lok adalat in Jan 2013 and submitted to bank. Later, after the completion of probation period, SBI in Apr 2013 gave me probation extention letter citing poor performance and later in May 2013 I was terminated. Help me
sir, first you did not disclosed the pending case, it is illegal, as it is mandatory. its d first issue,
second issue is, u r saying that bank had terminated u on d bases of poor performance which is entirely an in house assessment of d bank. so both the issues are not connected to each other as per your version.... thnx
Advocate Abhishek KaushikDistrict Court, Rohini, Delhi
Your case appears to be a case of victimisation by the employer . They had tried to manipulate the facts thereby giving it a colour altogether different. as what it is in reality. A employer can not terminate service even if the nondisclosure is delibrate. .you can challenge the order of termination in court of law as illegal and get reinstatement order. ..If you have not approached t to court ,do it immidiately or else your cause of action might be time barred.

Is there a point system on Blurtit? I read a post from 2010 stating that there is one. Is that information still valid?

I am what is
called a "closet case." I was raised in a
Christian home where homosexuality didn't
exist. Knowing what I was but fearing it, I pretended
to be like all my friends, talking about guys at school.
Without realizing it, I became a homophobe in public.
Then in high
school I started watching Queer as Folk. I
loved it from the first episode.
I was obsessed,
but my obsession was kept a secret. I would sneak
downstairs after everyone was in bed and watch it.
Sometime after
that I was approached by a friend who also watched the
show. It was great! She was straight, yet she watched a gay
show! Her sister is bisexual, and they invited me to
go with them to the 2003 pride parade in Cincinnati. I
think that was when I finally came to terms with the
fact that I was a closeted lesbian. I felt like I actually
belonged, like I was meant to be there.
My mother
wasn't pleased when she found out what the parade
really was. I had told her it was a "rainbow
festival." She says that she's not
homophobic, but when it comes to her own daughter, I think
she is. After going to the parade I vowed to come out
to my mom, so I allowed her to find out about my
obsession with Queer as Folk, my collection of
pride trinkets, and my subscriptions to The Advocate
and Out. She seems distant and uninterested, but I
do have to give her credit; I think she's trying.
More than
anything I want for my family and friends to know more about
the real me, but I fear losing everything I have if they do.
It sounds stupid, but this fear has been there for
years, and even now I'm scared out of my mind
of what writing this will bring. But I have to take a
chance if I ever want to be happy. I'm 20 and
I've never been in love. I've never been
kissed or been on a date. In fact, I've never been
asked out or had anyone interested in me. Why? Because
I'm a closet case who won't let anyone
touch her.

August 17, 2007
The House and Senate recently passed bills to reauthorize the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) that will soon be reconciled in conference. Members of Congress should consider the negative consequences SCHIP expansion will have on their states, says the Heritage Foundation.
Both bills rely on increasing the federal tobacco tax to fund SCHIP expansions, which could cause states to lose revenue:
- When consumers purchase a pack of cigarettes, they pay both a state and a federal tax.
- An increase in the federal tobacco tax would cause the price of a pack of cigarettes to increase.
- Due to sensitivity to increases in the prices of tobacco products, the average consumer purchases fewer packs when the price increases.
- The federal government would still gain revenue because of the tax increase, but state governments would lose out, taxing fewer packs of cigarettes at the same state tax rate.
Consider the losses:
- Under the House bill, every state would suffer a budget loss of at least $1 million per year and 17 states would have losses greater than $10 million per year.
- Under the Senate bill, every state would lose more than $1.4 million per year and half of the states would have budget losses of over $10 million per year.
- California, Ohio and Pennsylvania would lose over $50 million each under the Senate bill.
With these enormous hits to their budgets, states would need to reduce funding for other programs such as education or transportation, or even eliminate some programs altogether. The Members of Congress who advocate raising the tobacco tax for the SCHIP expansion should be mindful of the consequences this tax increase would have on the fiscal stability of their home states, says Heritage.

"To the family and friends of Sylena,
Please let me extend my condolences to you. It is unnatural to lose a loved one in death. When we read the account of Lazarus, it teaches us that the resurrection is a reality. Jesus taught that someday "all those in the memorial tombs" will be resurrected. (John 5:28,29) Not only will Sylena be resurrected to life on earth but she will have an opportunity to live forever on this earth in peaceful and happy conditions. (Ps. 37:11, 29) I hope that these expressions from the Bible help to bring you some comfort and hope."

Eclipse 2017
Event not until August, but reserve hotel nowWith snow falling outside, it's a good time to look ahead to a major event coming during the heat of the summer this year -- one that you'll want to see, but won't be able to plan at the last minute. It's time to make those hotel reservations now.
The reason is that this event is a rare solar eclipse and, like clockwork, it will happen on August 21, 2017. If you live in the Pacific Northwest, the best place for you to see the eclipse will be in Oregon.
People from all over the country plan ahead for these events and then travel to those narrow bands of real estate that will experience the complete effects. The full effects include the sun being completely blocked out by the moon for a few minutes, creating a 70-mile wide shadow, across the USA.
If you stand anywhere under that shadow, you'll see that everything goes pitch black. If you are under clear skies, you will see a hole in the sky. The event's duration will last a minute or two, perhaps more with the longest duration being along the center line of that 70-mile-wide path. The longest duration will be two minutes, 41 seconds.
With just about any binoculars you'll be able to see the Sun's corona and the plasma coming from the sun's surface. It's an amazing experience and, whenever a total eclipse occurs, hotel rooms sell out.
If you study a map of the eclipse, the closest place for Northwest residents to see this summer's event will be in Oregon. Since the event travels west to east, the eclipse will start on the coast where prime summer vacation destinations like Depoe Bay, Newport and Lincoln City will be near the center of the eclipse path.
Along the I-5 corridor, the eclipse will pass over such popular destinations as Salem, Albany and Corvallis.
To view a map of the path of the eclipse, please go to https://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/SEgoogle/SEgoogle2001/SE2017Aug21Tgoogle.html. The map will give you specific times and locations and will be a useful tool for you as you plan your eclipse getaway for 2017.

North Korea proposed on Thursday to hold talks with South Korea on resuming tours to enclaves inside its territory, which was a lucrative enterprise before a deadly shooting incident put the business on hold.

THIS JUST IN: WNIR Joins 21st Century, Streams Audio
The new website for Media-Com Akron market talk WNIR/100.1 "The Talk of Akron" is online as of this Friday afternoon, and yes, there is live streaming audio. We're listening to it right now.
The station is running a banner on the updated website with this crawl: "From Cleveland to Cancun, from Los Angeles to London, from New York to New Delhi...FROM ANYWHERE TO ANYWHERE...WNIR welcomes our new global audience!"
OMW hears that the station will apparently only stream its local shows, and the audio will "go dark" online during syndicated talk programming (Westwood One's Jim Bohannon and other late night and weekend syndicated shows).
Since WNIR is locally programmed from 5:30 AM to 11 PM weekdays, and 6 AM-7 PM Saturdays, this will have little impact on the audio stream.
We have heard ABC News Radio's hourly Information Network newscasts on the stream...presumably, they will continue. They won't be starting any earlier, though, unless the WNIR local hosts actually figure out how to join ABC Radio's feed on time.
OMW hears that WNIR midday veteran Howie Chizek will announce that he invented streaming audio for talk radio.
And somewhere in London, computer users will ask each other - "what's a Plusquellic?"
We'll have more in our return to regular updating on Monday morning...

How awesome is that? Now the world will hear Goober snort and Mantua Man (2008 WNIR Caller of the Year)fire up his chainsaw! The Guiseppe's Jingle will be sung all over Lithuania! Way to go Kaiser!!!!
- king-of-kings said...
I have a most likely reason why WNIR is only streaming the local shows.
Remember, for the nationally syndicated shows, there would be an additional fee to be paid to the show for the streaming rights.
WNIR is most likely not streaming the national shows for two very important reasons: (1) they decided against paying the rights fee for streaming these shows; and (2) since WNIR's main focus has always been their local content, they decided to focus there.
One final thought. WNIR probabily decided to stream their programs so that Ohio Media Watch can get off their backs. LOL.
- firebird said...
The WNIR stream is sounding great in Atlanta! Listened to Stan this morning and he mentioned Ohio Media Watch!
- Ohio Media Watch said...
king-of-kings - that's exactly why.
I don't know how Westwood One feels about affiliates streaming its shows these days...WW1 is the syndicator for many of WNIR's night/weekend shows.
Mike Gallagher comes from Salem, and TRN provides Tammy Bruce, Jerry Doyle and the like. I'm pretty sure those syndicators don't have any problem with the streaming.
But overall, as mentioned, this isn't a big deal...since WNIR has so much local programming.
I'm wondering if there's a way to time shift the local programming on the stream. Howie Chizek at 11 PM repeated from 11 AM? Sure! :)
And this, firebird:
"The WNIR stream is sounding great in Atlanta! Listened to Stan this morning and he mentioned Ohio Media Watch!"
How's come people tell me that Stan and company mention OMW from time to time, but never hear it myself? Ah, well. Of course, I don't get up that early... :)

- Andy said...
Funny joke about Howie! But, he is indeed the king. His show is amazing. I know a lot of people who were waiting for this stream!
- rootvg said...
Yeah, Howie sounds great here in San Francisco. He's no spring chicken but let's hope he sticks around for awhile.

In case you're wondering the guest speaker was me at the quarterly meeting of the Life Journeys Writers Club. Yvonne Medley, founder, invited me to speak about my book and about writing for children in general. I first met Yvonne when I was lining up speakers for the Maryland Writers' Association annual conference. I was secretary of the organization at the time.
The meeting was at Mimi's Cafe in Greenbelt. For some reason I assumed it would be a small group of ladies seated at one table, just talking about writing. Boy was I wrong. I was led into the back room of the restaurant which turned out to be full of about 20-30 people at separate tables--all ages, races, genders, nationalities, you name it. When it was time for me to speak I was given a microphone (I don't think I've ever spoken through a handheld mic before) and as I stood there looking at those faces I wondered what to say. Thinking it would be a small group I had nothing formally prepared.
I began by telling the always amusing story of how my book got published. That resulted in a host of questions, which I was grateful for. I love to share information and so I was in my element. After I spoke, Yvonne handed me an envelope as a thank you. (Turns out it was a paid speaking engagement.) I'd brought a few books but didn't have much hope of selling any. Instead, I sold and signed four books before I had to make a hasty retreat back to Baltimore to get my Zipcar back in time.
Being among that diverse group of writers was so uplifting and inspiring. I haven't been writing much lately but seeing their great enthusiasm may just bring me back to the page. Time to get back to work because I've got many stories that need a tellin'

JOHNSON CITY, TN (WJHL) – East Tennessee State University music professor Dr. David Champouillon's termination hearing is scheduled to start a week from Monday, according to his attorney.
As we reported Monday, ETSU has started the process of trying to fire the tenured professor. That process follows sexual harassment complaints filed by two of his coworkers.
State policy requires a committee of tenured faculty members and possible administrators to determine if adequate case for termination exists. According to attorney Jim Culp, that hearing will begin on February 20.
ETSU President Dr. Brian Noland will then consider the committee's report before making his final decision. The faculty member may appeal the president's action, according to Tennessee Board of Regents policy.
Dr. Champouillon denies the allegations. He remains on paid suspension.

At the World Economic Forum in Davos that kicked off on Wednesday, Prashant Ruia of the Essar Group explains to the CNBC-TV18's Menaka Doshi that government initiative in India and the return of growth in the US and China is set to create a global economic boom across all sectors.
At the World Economic Forum in Davos that kicked off on Wednesday, Prashant Ruia of the Essar Group explains to the CNBC-TV18's Menaka Doshi that government initiative in India, the return of growth in the US and China is set to create a global economic boom across all sectors.
Below is the edited transcript of the interview on CNBC-TV18
Q: You agree with Uday Kotak that the investment cycle will take 12-18 months or do you hold a more optimistic view based on the little bit of government initiatives in the last 6-8 months?
A: Let's look at it in two parts. In my opinion, one of the critical factors for the investment cycle to move forward was the existing pipeline projects which were stuck at various stages and forms. I believe that return of investment cycle in the last one or two quarters is due to all the initiatives by government to get a lot projects, stuck in the pipeline, moving. From an Essar perspective, most of the projects that were kicked-off three-to-4 years ago have all received the required regulatory approvals.
Q: And that's been the case for a long time now?
A: The coal-supply linkages have come through for our power generation units.
Q: Does that continue to be a sticky issue broadly speaking for the industry?
A: I believe that significant steps have been taken by the government to make sure that sufficient coal will be available at least for the projects which are already underway.
Q: Will generation reach the 6500-6700 MW by 2014? Are you on course for that target?
A: Our total power portfolio is 7000 MW of which we are currently generating about 5,000 MW already. The balance will be achieved by March 2014. So, we are pretty much on schedule. We are also India's second largest port company. A lot of the regulatory approvals which were holding up our port-projects have come through.
I would agree with Uday Kotak that the greenfield investments will still take probably 12-18 months. There are still a lot of projects in pipeline that need to be completed before we start talking of greenfield projects. So, I think we are moving in the right direction.
Q: Does that mean that the confidence which was so sorely lacking amongst Indian business-leaders over the course of the last year or two is slowly returning when it comes to putting new money into new ventures?
A: I would absolutely agree. There is a return of confidence. However, it is a slow process. We have witnessed two years of a slowdown, but certainly steps taken by the government are beginning to show positive impact on industry in various sectors.
Q: Is that reelecting in the mood or the attitude that foreign strategic investors have towards India?
A: We have seen huge inflows coming into the capital market.
Q: What is the reason for India's fall from grace from being the toast of Davos in 2009 and 2010?
A: I agree, but the investors have seen negative media in the international press.
Q: Why don't you say they have seen little or no government initiative? Why blame the media?
A: The strategic have seen negative stories about India. So obviously they would want to see some more steps by the government before they start putting their money to work in India. Are they interested? I think they are very much interested. We will be the second or third largest domestic market in consumption in all sectors. Sooner or later, anybody who wants to be a global player has to be in India.
Q: The prevalent view of the global economy is that it is stabilizing, not recovering. Is that your outlook? How much of that view impacts your decision to continue investing in several businesses.
A: Globally consumption is looking a lot more stable. Europe is looking a lot betteand is over its worst.
Q: How about the UK? Don't you have refining operations in the UK?
A: Yes, you're absolutely right. And the US is looking a lot better with the return of growth.
Q: Do you really you think so despite the political impasse?
A: Absolutely. The US has the ability to surprise. We have quite a lot of investments in the US and the capital markets are a lot better. Liquidity in the markets is a lot better. Commodity prices are pretty strong across the board. So, for the current year, the overall global environment will certainly be stable and hopefully, better in the next few years.
Q: So what is your view on commodity prices? According to Chinese economists, China is expected grow 8-8.5 percent this year. So in that backdrop, will commodities only move up?
A: China's gross domestic product (GDP) growth was 7.9 percent just last week as compared to estimates of 7-7.5 percent. India is estimated to post a GDP growth of 6 - 7 percent. And the US is looking better. All of this means more consumption and big investment into commodities which has not happened in the last two three years. So the supply side will take some to catch up and we are already seeing the results of stronger commodity prices.
Q: Do you agree with a PwC poll that found Indian CEOs to be amongst the most optimistic of all CEOs across the world?
A: Yes, I think so. I don't think that Indian CEOs are the only positive CEOs around. The CEOs from the Middle-East, Africa, Southeast Asia and China are all extremely positive. Emerging markets such as Brazil and Russia are the toast of Davos this year.
Q: You were in the process of a CDR exit for Essar Oil, where has that reached and how does that move forward?
A: It think that has been done. We are in the final stage of exiting.
Q: You are also looking to restructure debt as part of that or accompanying that?
A: We are not actually restructuring any debt. We have a dollar-based business. The refining market is a completely dollar-denominated business. Most of our debt was in rupees because it was project finance. Now that the project is over and we are operating at capacity, we are actually de-risking by bringing our debt in line with our currency which is in dollars.
Q: Do you have a view on how the dollar and the euro are going to do this year given that those are the two currencies you are probably transacting in?
A: The safe answer is that the dollar will always be strong.
Q: There is a perception that you might need to dilute promoter-stake in Essar Oil given the maximum promoter holding deadline that is coming up this year in June?
A: I think we will meet the norms. Our domestic shareholding is 65 percent which is within the norms. So, there is no immediate need to dilute in Essar Oil.
Q: What is your outlook on the IT and BPO business considering that you just made a major acquisition in the sector? You were at one point intending to take Aegis public but now you don't need to since you bought AGC? How is it going to work?
A: First of all, we think it is an extremely strong business that is performing well. That is one sector which has not been so badly impacted in the last two years. So, we have actually seen growth in that business despite competition from lower-cost countries like Philippines.
We have the largest number -12,000 people- in Philippines. So, we go where the costs work out. I can tell you that our costs in India are very quickly becoming less competitive as compared to some of these new emerging countries.
We have all options at hand regarding Aegis and have adopted an open.
Q: Nothing in the near-term in terms of public listing?
A: No. We will decide and adopt the best course of action available.
Q: Officials of the Essar Group were chargesheeted in the 2G trial. At what stage is the trial-process and how do you see it pan out?
A: I have always maintained that the event was very unfortunate. We have always maintained that we are completely above board, but we are going through a process right now which is sub-judice. We will have to wait and see for the process to get completed before I can really comment.
Q: What are you looking forward to in Davos?
A: Russia is a very big focus followed by Europe. So looking forward to a lot on how these various leaders look at Europe. Also eager to meet the US contingent, which is the largest at Davos, on views about the return of growth in the US.

Sue Smith is a multi award winner, with many years experience and uses a combination of weight management hypnosis, conscious techniques, NLP, CBT and Gastro Band Hypnotherapy. MORE >
In 1995 a review of 18 different studies involving 577 participants showed hypnotherapy to be consistently effective for treating most types of psychological problems. In total there are over 11,000 studies showing positive benefit using hypnotherapy as an intervention. "CBT combined with Hypnotherapy has a synergistic effect and showed even greater benefit" (Kirsch et al. 1999:4). No intervention (treatment) can ever claim to be 100% effective. It would not be ethical for a therapist to say then can cure you.
However, hypnotherapy is an established practice and has a long history behind it with various famous hypnotherapists in the past such as James Esdaile and Dr James Braid who carried out thousands of painless operations including amputations in the 1800's, James Braid, Franz Anton Mesmer, Sigmund Freud, Carl Jung, Dave Elman and in more recent times Milton H. Erickson. Always check out symptoms with your G.P first, and look for a therapist approved by National Professional UK organisations such as the CNHC or APHP
A Managing Director came to see me suffering from anxiety attacks, and sudden loss of confidence. New staff members seemed to be the cause of the initial attack. But underlying the acute symptoms it became apparent that this person was suffering from long term stress as a result of placing too much pressure upon themselves as a 'high performer' and leader'. After a few weeks there was a vast improvement in this person's health and whole new personal approach to the work situation.

There was a sharper than expected rise in the number of jobs created in the US in June, at 288,000. Economists had forecast a more modest rise in non-farm payrolls of 212,000. Meanwhile, the data from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics showed the unemployment rate fell to 6.1% – the lowest since Lehman Brothers collapsed in September 2008 – from 6.3% in May.
Below, economists give their take on the numbers.
Rob Wood, economist at Berenberg, said the rise in job gains (following a 224,000 increase in May) signalled solid momentum in the US economy.
"This report changes nothing for the tapering outlook. The Fed has, rightly in our view, assumed that underlying US momentum remains solid. With monetary policy extremely loose and government cuts easing markedly, US growth should remain strong and employment growth should remain solid. We look for the Fed to continue cutting bond buying by $10bn at each meeting until stopping purchases in October."
Rob Carnell, chief economist at ING Global, said the US Federal Reserve would need to see bigger wage rises (2% annually in June) before changing its policy stance.
"Without a clear step up in wages, and whilst the unemployment rate remains 6-something percent, we suspect the Fed will be loth to change its formal stance with respect to the taper, or to the possibility of normalising rates.
"The time is soon coming that the FOMC will have to change its tack with respect to its policy stance, and forward guidance. Today's release takes us a little closer to that point, but as FOMC chair Yellen's recent testimony shows, they are not there yet."
Dennis de Jong, managing director at UFXMarkets, said it was good news as Americans prepare for their Independence Day celebrations on Friday.
"This is the fifth successive month the reading has risen above 200,000 with job growth significantly rebounding this quarter following a poor start to the year. The third quarter officially opened yesterday ahead of Independence Day celebrations. Positive news has been sparse of late and this is as good an excuse as any to enjoy this weekend's fireworks."
Angus Campbell, senior analyst at FxPro:
"Many investors have been waiting for stronger evidence that the world's largest economy is in good shape and today certainly does that. This will allow the Federal Reserve to continue in its tapering and even prepare the ground for raising rates next year."
Tanweer Akram, senior economist at Voya Investment Management:
"Job growth has been decent since 2011 In the past three months job growth has been strong; it averaged 272K per month. Despite the decent growth in the number of jobs, average hourly earnings have risen at a moderate pace. In June, average hourly earnings rose 2.0% year on year, while CPI inflation rose 2.1% between May 2013 to May 2014. The restraint in wage means that inflationary pressures are likely to stay muted in the coming months."
Marcus Bullus, trading director of MB Capital:
"Someone attached the jump leads to the US jobs market in June. The markets will go into the long weekend on a buzz, while strong upward revisions in April and May will add to the feel-good factor.
"An ongoing concern is that wage growth is still relatively muted and this is almost certainly a legacy of the protracted fall-out from the depression. While companies are a lot more confident these days, many have been instilled with a new conservatism when it comes to wage costs.
"But over time, expect wages, too, to pick up in the way that job levels are currently.The US economy has a way to go yet, but it appears to be on the right track after a sluggish start to the year."

Photo Challenge Questions/Comments
What is the purpose of your challenge? Is it to just have people post nice photos or is it to actually challenge people to get out and take photos which may not be within their normal comfort zone?
A loose theme will result in nicer looking pictures because it is easier for people to take one of their best pictures and come up with a reason why it fits the theme. There is no challenge, thus nothing to learn - it is just an exercise in mutual back patting. A narrower theme provides more of a challenge and, because it is harder to meet, the results may not always be such great pictures. However those who choose to participate will learn/develop more as a photographer from the latter. - This of course assumes that the challenge limits you to images taken within a fixed window of time and doesn't simply allow people to go back through 8 years of photos to find one that fits.
I love my girlfriend, my dog and my canon 5DIII - even though none of them ever do what I tell them

Mystery Meat Health Care Reform
No one knows exactly what's in it, but it doesn't smell good.
The effort to ram a health care bill through Congress has turned the institution into a theater of the absurd. During the 2008 campaign, neither Barack Obama nor leading Democrats talked about a so-called "public option" or government-run insurance plan. But this year it became the centerpiece of both the Senate and House bills. Now Senate leaders are dropping the public option and embracing a controversial expansion of Medicare for those 55 and older that wasn't even on the radar screens of most legislators until this week.
"I'm very puzzled ideas like this are being cooked up behind closed doors two weeks before Christmas, and we don't know what they are," said Sen. Lamar Alexander, a Tennessee Republican.
Even Democrats were skeptical of the late addition of Medicare expansion to the debate. "It is a major part of health reform that has clearly not gotten the airing of, say, the public option," acknowledged Democratic Senator Ron Wyden of Oregon. Wondered Senator Barbara Mikulski of Maryland: "What is the impact on the stability of Medicare? If we are going to expand it to three million people, then how are we going to pay for it? One of the ideas of health reform was to ensure the stability and solvency and benefit package of Medicare."
Politico.com reports that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid won't release details of the Medicare expansion, even to his own members, until he first gets a cost estimate from the Congressional Budget Office. That way he'll be able to add in whatever fiscal tricks and favors are needed to entice wavering Senators on-board to get the 60 votes he'll need to bring the bill up for final vote.
Democratic leaders continue to insist they will get those 60 votes, but their efforts convey a growing sense of desperation as they lurch from one approach to another, with little thought given to how it might work in the real world. With the clock ticking towards the Christmas recess when Congress is set to go home, I am beginning to wonder if Mr. Reid can really pass health care this year.

The Nationals ride into the 2012 First-Year Player Draft with a different feel about their first-round selection. Gone is selecting first two years in a row, or even sixth last year.
This season, the team selects at No. 16, and as Nationals assistant general manager and vice president of player personnel Roy Clark told me Sunday, "We want to pick No. 30 every season." It is great to get the top selection, but that also means you were bad the prior season. That is no longer the case for the Nationals.
Executive editor Jim Callis of Baseball America told me on 106.7 The Fan's "Nats Insider" that these are new times for the Nationals, and that is a good thing. General manager Mike Rizzo and his staff deserve a lot of credit for turning the farm system around. It starts by getting impact guys, even at No. 16.
"You have your prep list, but I think even the Nationals would admit they aren't going to know who they are getting until the picks start to play out," Callis said. "Usually when you pick at No. 16, you have a good chance that someone that surprises you (and) gets to you that you wouldn't necessarily expect."
Guys like Mark Appel of Stanford, Georgia high school outfielder Byron Buxton and high school shortstop Carlos Correa from Puerto Rico will be long gone by the time the Nationals make their selection around 8:30 p.m.
"You could probably cross off 12 or 13 names that won't get to Washington," Callis said.
So with the Nationals trading away Tommy Milone, Brad Peacock and A.J. Cole, plus losing Sammy Solis to injury and Matt Purke slow out of the gate health-wise, it is a no-brainer they will go pitching in the first round?
"Yes and no," Callis said. "In terms of need, it would make sense for them to take a pitcher. But teams don't usually draft based on need in the first round. Problem is, at No. 16 it is not like you are picking at the top of the draft and you have to narrow the field.
"A pitcher would make the most sense but here is the problem: There are two high school pitchers that make sense to go ahead of the Nationals. One is Max Fried from California, the other is Lance McCullers Jr. from Florida. I don't think either guy is going to be there (at No. 16). McCullers might. I think he is an interesting guy because Rizzo is not afraid to do business with Scott Boras.
"You look on the flip side of that, I told you Appel will be gone, Kevin Gausman from LSU is going to be gone, Kyle Zimmer from San Francisco is going to be gone, Michael Wacha from Texas A&M will be gone, Andrew Heaney from Oklahoma State is going to be gone and Chris Stratton from Mississippi State is going to be gone."
So who could still be there that might be a steal at No. 16?
"A guy that could be there but shouldn't be there because his arm is too good is right-hander Marcus Stroman of Duke," Callis said. "But Stroman is 5-foot-9. I think he has a chance to start, but guys will tell you he has the best arm in this draft. His arm is that good. It is not a full-of-effort delivery, it is pretty effortless. He is just very athletic and has a tremendous fastball-slider combination."
The Nationals love pitchers with size - like 6-foot-9 hurler Alex Meyer out of Kentucky, now with low Single-A Hagerstown. Would selecting Stroman go against the normal draft trend for taller pitchers the Nationals and the league seem to favor? Callis believes the Nationals might buck that trend.
The Nationals have already shown their fondness for Stroman, having selected him in the 18th round (532nd overall) of the 2009 draft.
"You see a 5-foot-9 guy you think reliever," Callis said. "I think teams back away from the arm a little bit because of his size. But I don't see how there will be a better player on the board at that point because I believe Stroman is the No. 10 or No. 11 best player out there.
"And with the Nationals contending this year, let's say you decide this guy could be a reliever, this guy could be helping your big league bullpen in September. I think you know from talking to me in the past, I am not the type of guy who says, 'OK, there are six pitchers in this draft who could all be pitching in the big leagues in September.' I am very conservative when it comes to that. But I think with a guy like Stroman, you could get him tuned back up after he signs and you could have him in late August pitching in a big league bullpen."
That would be wild to think of one of these guys contributing as early as this season. With the new draft rules, where there is pretty much a slot for each signing and teams get fined if they pay over slot, getting 2012 draft picks on the team now may not have to wait until a mid-August signing deadline like in years past. So watch for a guy like Stroman, or another collegiate pitcher who might drop to the Nationals. Then watch to see how quickly the Nationals get him up to speed.
After all, Rizzo has shown this year with every move (Bryce Harper, the catchers, Tyler Moore, Mike Gonzalez, etc.) that he is going for the win now rather than waiting for a little more seasoning. That win-now attitude might also play into how the team drafts, even in the first round and even with the No. 16 selection.

01. Hydraluron - Why is this number one? Rewind a few months and i'd be asking myself the same thing, but I've been using this on a regular basis, at least once a day, since Christmas, and at first I never really felt like I could see any benefits. But now I find that my skin stays moisturised and feels healthier for much longer if I'm using this consistently. If the situations really bad e.g. nursing cold and flu bad, it will go on twice a day, but for every other day, I just smooth it over my skin in the morning after cleansing.
02. Origins Drink Up Intensive - For super healthy plump looking skin, there's no better mask than this - in the summer this is a no go-er but in the depths of winter when your skin needs something to add life and moisture - this will do it. I apply this last in my night time routine, about 15 minutes before bed to let it soak in a little (save it all rubbing off on my pillow!). I also take it to work with me if my skin is really dry, and pop a tiny amount over those pesky dry areas that can form around my nose.
03. YSL Touche Eclat Foundation - When I first purchased this, it just about got a thumbs up from me, I liked it, but was it my holy grail? No. However this was when the months were milder and I wasn't a sick little bunny, and now I need dewy and I need glowing. And voila! It makes my skin look so much more youthful and dewy, and steers me away from looking like an illustration from The Zombie Survival Guide.
04. Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer - I'm branching out into the world of concealers in 2013, or that was the goal I set myself anyway. The Rimmel Concealer works perfectly alongside the YSL foundation, reminding me slightly of the Origins Plantscription Concealer ever so slightly due to it's more natural and uncakey finish. Beaut!
05. Ren Glycolactic Radiance Renewal Mask - using this on a normal day when my skin is generally happy would be generally pointless. For some reason I've only really seen the benefits of this mask when my skin is seriously dull. Over the past few weeks this has definitely had the chance to work its magic and it has helped to make my skin look a little brighter which is great as it means I'm not having to rely on (and apply less) makeup.
Rimmel Blush in Santa Rose - This is a beautiful natural blush which I pop on to bring some life back to my cheeks. It's lovely and natural, so I don't look too made up. Just normal and healthy!
Now I look healthy on the outside, it's definitely time to give the inside some TLC... Pass me the vitamins and a plate of veggies please!

So would you say theres nothing to worry about as long as i dont have BSOS's or performance issues?

We have nothing to work with until you have performance issues as those errors are negligible except for the ACPI error which I would google the exact text to read all about it.
It's OK to be OCD but apply it to researching the errors by googling their text as there will be dozens of posts in multiple threads to read up on it. This is how you learn about your computer and what are potential problems and not. I winnow out errors this way myself over time, but never expect it to come overnight. Some errors only recently have results when you google them, after months or years seeing them. Almost all will now have some google results, however.
