London, Nov. 5: Lakshmi Mittal pitched a marquee in the gardens of Kensington Palace Gardens on Tuesday last week and gave a party for 400.
Some thought it was to celebrate his successful takeover by Mittal Steel of Arcelor earlier this year but the real reason was much more personal -- it was to celebrate the 80th birthday of the man to whom he owes everything: his father.
Right from the time Lakshmi was a young commerce student at St Xaviers College in Calcutta, his father, Mohan Lal Mittal, gave him the work ethic. Today, although the steel world rings with the name of his much more famous son, it was Mittal Senior who taught his son all he knows.
The father is justly proud of his son, as he has told The Telegraph: Now I like to be known as the father of my son. If you dont feel proud, you are wrong father. If son gets credit, father gets credit automatically.
A man endowed with a rustic sense of humour and who delights in saying Im not an educated man, M.L. Mittal likes telling a favourite joke: Jawaharlal did barristry but Motilal was only an advocate. A case was going on in high court. The other side was barrister. What do you know, Mr Motilal, you are only an advocate. I am a barrister. Motital said, Youre a barrister. I am father of a barrister. I know better than you.
It was the sort of joke which only Indians will understand -- and there were plenty of them at his 80th birthday party. Some were relatives who had come from India; others were the Indians who turn up to every big party in London. But given the sons global connections, there were many Europeans, too, for whom the hosts had to make provision of salads.
The party was organised by Varti, daughter of Lakshmis younger brother, Pramod.
One guest could scarcely remember the range of the menu: There was plenty of Mughlai, lots of kebabs, shammi kebab, spicy lamb chops, biryani, pista dum aloo, chicken marinated with ginger. I saw the Hinduja family there led by SP (Srichand); I didnt see (Lord) Swraj Paul but his (twin) sons, Ambar and Akash, were there. I saw Adi Godrej and Lord Bagri. The reception was in the Orangerie (a well known landmark in Kensington Palace Gardens, which adjoins Mittals residence).
Bollywood entertainment was provided by Kareena Kapoor and Akshay Kumar.
One man who could not be spotted was Guy Dolle, former chief executive of Arcelor. It was over dinner at his residence at the start of 2006 that Mittal slipped him the all-important question along the lines of: Do have some more gulab jamun, they are delicious with vanilla ice cream. By the way, can I buy your Arcelor'
Whether Dolle choked is not recorded but later he recovered to make the one comment for which he will merit a footnote in history: Mittal Steel, a company full of Indians, made cologne; Arcelor, full of Frenchmen, made perfume.
Ispat Steel was founded in 1975 by Mittal Senior in Calcutta. A year after his retirement in 1994, Mittal Senior shifted to London where he could divide his time between his two elder sons, Lakshmi, 56, and Pramod, 49. There are forays to India to see his youngest son, Vinod, 48. He says that like all traditional Hindus, he strongly believes in the joint family system and treats his sons as best friends.
If I cant bring unity to my family, how can I bring unity among Hindus around the world' he jokes. Family is more important than money.
The Ispat steel empire, now Arcelor-Mittal, now spans the globe. Mittal Senior is into Hinduism in a big way (unlike his son): I have made enough money and travelled the world but now want to do something for the Hindu community. I regret I did not do this sooner.
While he finds it reassuring that Hindus in Britain are more Hindu than Hindus in India, he is concerned that those in many other countries knew little about their religion and were suffering a loss of identity. Something has to be done.
Mittal Senior says he was a poor villager born penniless in Rajasthan. He attributes his business success to the kindness of God. Its possible to make £100,000 with hard work but to get into the billions, you need God.
He describes how he inculcated the Hindu work ethic into his sons. In our joint family system, both teaching and working were taught. Teaching means good education as well as working. Lakshmi did graduation from St Xaviers, commerce section, which started at 6.30 in the morning till 10.30 am in Calcutta. At 10.30 am, he directly has to come to the office, cant go home. And he has to lunch with me in the office, then go home for study. I say, If you don't come, I won't have lunch. He has to come to the office and work two hours in the office. Started at the age of 15 and a half, 16. He did graduation at 19.
Sometimes, (his) mother feels, You are pressing too much. But ultimately he got accustomed to that. Today also, he works 16 hours a day. If my sons are not better than me, my business is finished. Lakshmi is better than me, and Lakshmis son, Aditya (now 31), is even better than him.
Between generations, there has to a move upwards: If the next generation is not better than you, if my sons are not better than me, whatever I made will not stay. Second generation can reach the sky if they are capable. I started from zero. If my sons are not better than me, it will be finished there itself.

This two-seater personal flight vehicle from the company Air Creation is a little expensive, but do you really want to buy bargain when you're talking about the device that's going to keep you from plummeting a thousand feet to your death? Ask Daedalus about that.
Air Creations air recreational vehicles (henceforth A.R.V.s) come in three flavors, and the newest one, the Tanarg, is a two-seater. They come with a ROTAX 582 engine and a 4-bladed High Tech ARPLAST propeller. They have interchangeable wings and wheels (including skis for snows and pontoons for water). All of this starting at just $50,000.
That's pretty cool, but the real reason to get an A.R.V. is so that you can join an A.R.V. gang! They actually exist. Probably the best one is the Sky Gypsies who fund their airy wanderings through a combination of strong-arm sky robberies and selling coffee.

The Nightmare
Factual Information:
Period: 1781
Period: 1781
General Information:
This Romantic painting by Henry Fuseli represents a sleeping woman, a horse, and an incubus. It is perceived that the painting was intended to represent both the woman and of her nightmare subjects. The woman is draped over the end of a bed with her head hanging of the side. She is surmounted by an incubus that peers out at the viewer. The subject of the painting is very rooted in Christian myths of demons. The incubus in the painting is a demon in the myths said to visit women in their sleep and mount them for sexual intercourse. This myth was likely used to deter people from sleeping alone. People during this time did not know about sleep paralysis and associated it with a devil sitting on your chest as you fell asleep, as a weight on your chest is a symptom of sleep paralysis. The horse
Why This Artwork?
This artwork was chosen to show the differing subjects of the Romantic artists and the Neoclassical artists. It also helps to show a new interest in the subconsciousness, an important subject that was later explored by artists, giving this painting importance.

MADELEINE BRAND, host:
This weekend, black church leaders across the country will have their say about Barack Obama's historic victory.
ALEX CHADWICK, host:
We called the West Angeles Church of God and Christ in L.A., not too far from our studios, to find out what their sermon will be about this weekend. West Angeles has 24,000 members. It's one of the city's largest black churches.
BRAND: And this Sunday, Bishop Henry Williamson Sr. will deliver the sermon as a guest speaker. Bishop Williamson told us earlier what he'll say about President-elect Obama and America's future.
Bishop HENRY WILLIAMSON SR (Presiding Prelate, Ninth Episcopal District, Christian Methodist Episcopal Church): It's time for us to celebrate this great achievement of the election of Barack Obama. And I think though the question that I will raise on Sunday now is, what's next? We will have to surround the president-elect as a nation to solve the pressing challenges that are before us. He cannot do it in isolation. We must do it in communities as we seek to rebuild the economy, to restore our position as a moral leader in the world, to protect our environment and to strengthen our educational system, we must do it together.
So, our mantra must be, Together We Can. We all know the story of the good Samaritan. When the man was down on the Jericho Road, we were instructed by example and by our lord, an example to go and help that person. And I'm saying America is down on the Jericho Road of life, and we must help our nation rise in those places where it is in the valley. And I think we'd be to continue to echo the theme of we are the United States of America, and red, white, and blue are our colors.
CHADWICK: That's Bishop Henry Williamson Sr. He is the presiding prelate of the Ninth Episcopal District of the Christian Methodist Episcopal Church, and he is based in Los Angeles.
(Soundbite of song "Whose Report Will You Believe?")
Unidentified Choir: (Singing) I said, whose report will you believe? We shall believe the report of the Lord.
BRAND: We end this historic week with a bit of history, a nod, at least, to the history of Day to Day. Alex, you'll be moving on, reporting instead of hosting, after five-plus years. You helped found the show, and you are its guiding editorial voice. And I know I will really miss that voice, your voice, and it's not just on the air, but here next to me in the studio every day for an hour. You are the best in the radio business. I think a lot of our listeners would agree, but what they may not know is how great you are off the air. Every day I learn something from you, like how to write a better intro, or how to frame a question better, but I think what I admire most about you is your openness to trying new things. I think the best thing you've ever said to me is, try it, we can always throw it away if it doesn't work. And I think that really embodies the spirit of you and the spirit of Day to Day. So you're going to go try something else, and Alex, if it doesn't work, well, you know where we are.
(Soundbite of music)
CHADWICK: Thank you, Madeleine. I think - I'm thinking of this as, kind of, I'm going into rehab for deadline addiction...
(Soundbite of laughter)
CHADWICK: You know, five, six stories a day, every day, figure them out. I don't - what do you do for deadline addiction? What do you suppose contributes...
BRAND: I think you sleep in, that's what you do.
CHADWICK: No media, no media?
BRAND: Yeah.
CHADWICK: Sometime after a couple of months, maybe I'll start easing in with books.
BRAND: Nice.
CHADWICK: Start with, like, you know, Dostoevsky or something.
(Soundbite of laughter)
BRAND: Some light reading.
CHADWICK: Just not anything too current, I suppose. But thank you so much, and the staff has been great, and I've had fun on this radio program. And this - we'll go on having fun...
BRAND: We will go on. And you will - we'll hear your voice on this radio program.
CHADWICK: A couple of weeks. I've got a couple of pieces that I'm going to pitch to the show, and we'll see what happens.
(Soundbite of laughter)
BRAND: Is that a threat or a...
(Soundbite of laughter)
BRAND: It's a promise. It's a promise. I'll hold you to it. You're just down the hall, after all.
CHADWICK: All right.
BRAND: All right. Take it away, your last ender.
CHADWICK: Day to Day is a production of NPR News with a lot of help from Slate.com. Thank you, over the years, Slate, Madeleine.
BRAND: Thank you, Alex.

BitLocker Drive Encryption
Bit locker is a feature used to protect your computer running on windows 7 from offline attacks by encrypting the system volumes. 'Bit locker To Go' is a new feature for encrypting removable drives. If you lose your laptop computer, bit locker helps you to protect your data on stolen or lost computer from unauthorized data access. 'Bit locker To Go' can be used to protect data on external storage devices such as flash drives. Offline attacks include booting an alternate operating system to recover data from the hard disk of one computer and remove and place the hard disk of one computer to another to recover data stored on that hard disk.
Start-up key: A start up key is a special cryptographically generated file stored on a USB device.
Bit locker Modes:
Bit locker can operate in different authentication modes depending on computer hardware capabilities (Trusted platform module, TPM is required) and desired level of security. We have following bit locker modes:
- TPM only: In this mode user does not provide a password. PIN or start-up keys to boot the computer. User is unaware of the bit locker functioning. It is the least secure authentication mode for bit locker functioning. User becomes aware of this mode when bit locker detects modification in boot environment or if the user tries to remove the hard disk and use it on another computer.
- TPM with Start-up Key: User must provide a USB device containing the start-up key to boot the computer. If you do not provide a device which have start-up key at boot time, the bit locker leads your computer into a bit locker recovery mode. The bit locker in this mode also provides boot environment protection through TPM.
- TPM with PIN: User must enter a 'Personal Identification Number' before your computer boot into windows operating system. IF users do not enter the correct PIN at a boot time, then bit locker forces your computer in recovery mode.
- TPM with PIN and start-up key: When users turn on 'Bit locker in TPM with PIN and start-up key, then user must provide PIN number and a device which host start-up key at the boot time. This is most secure mode for Bit locker.
- Bit locker without TPM: If your computer does not have TPM chips, then the bit locker can be operating in Bit locker without TPM mode. This mode does not provide boot environment protection. This mode provides only hard disk encryption.
Steps to Configure bit locker:
- Click 'Start'- 'Control panel'- 'System and security'. Choose 'Bit locker drive encryption' from 'System and security' console. The Bit locker drive encryption console appears.
- Click 'Turn On bit locker' to encrypt the corresponding drive on the computer.
- Manage Bit locker allows you to change or print the recovery key of the encrypted drive.
- You can 'Turn off the bit locker' if you have the encryption key or PIN. It then decrypts the drive and it is no longer protected.
Encrypt a system drive using bit locker:
- Click 'Start' – 'Computer'. Select the drive which you want to encrypt and right click to select 'Turn on Bit locker'. It opens 'Bit locker Drive encryption' wizard.
- After Bit locker initialization, the 'Bit locker drive encryption' wizard opens a new screen to choose a way to unlock your drive. You can enter either a password or can use a smart card. Choose the required option and click 'Next'.
- It opens a wizard to choose way to store your recovery key. You can 'Save the Recovery Key' into a file on your computer or you can 'Print the recovery key'. Select the required option, Click 'Next'.
- The wizard appears to store the recovery key. Then it displays a message 'Are you ready to encrypt your drive'. Click 'Next'. This will start the encryption. After the encryption is complete you will receive a message as 'Encryption for selected drive is complete'.

Enterprise Europe Network (Profile ID: TOIT20161205005)
Italian start-up in the field of human tissue regeneration has developed a new device for the regeneration of small blood vessels by leveraging the biomimetic properties and the mechanical advantages of silk.
The same technology is suitable to several applications as peripheral nerves, tendons and ligaments, skin, and other tensile stressed tissues. The company is looking for partners for research and technical cooperation in the ISO/FDA approval pathway.
The offerer of the present technology is a medtech start-up whose first and main goal is to develop an innovative technology for the production of medical implantable devices made of silk fibroin for the in-vivo regeneration of human tissues and marketing it for human indications through licensing agreements. The technology is based on the coupling of electrospun matrices (ES) for boosting the biological and biomimetic properties of silk fibroin and textile matrices (TEXT) for the high mechanical tensile properties.
The company has designed a new device for the regeneration of small blood vessels. About 560k/year coronary artery bypass graft surgeries (CABG) are performed in OECD countries. The current golden standard for CABG is autograft (mainly saphenous vein, umbilical vein and mammary artery) and very often more than one graft is required for each procedure. However, autografts are not always available and present several drawbacks: so, there is a global urgent need for man-made grafts. Very few synthetic grafts are on the market and, due to their very poor results, they are used only when autografts previously failed. There is also a need for man-made solutions for peripheral blood vessels, like saphenous veins and carotids. For those vessels there are no autografts available and small calibre synthetic grafts fail in restoring the bloodstream. This innovative nanotechnology stimulates faster natural human tissue regeneration, with no rejection risks or use of drugs. In addition to that, it is cheaper than other synthetic grafts, allows for easy surgery and doesn't produce any dangerous degradation product in the patient's body.
In the developing pipeline other devices (peripheral nerves, tendons and ligaments, skin, dura madre, and other tensile stressed tissues) will be developed as soon as possible using the same technologies.
Different technologies are under investigation to further increase the addressable markets. This new technology lands in the tissue engineering market, which is worth globally €85bn.
The company has received and is receiving a number of VC funding and prizes which grant financial sustainability of the project; its goal now is to find a stable market for its new technology and explore other possible market applications.
The company is looking for strategic partners to further develop this technology, speed up the approval pathway, improve the investment readiness of the company, strengthen its long term sustainability, and develop new technologies based on the use of silk fibroin in biomed and biotech fields. Partners could be research or technical partners for support and cooperation in the ES-TEXT products development and validation; investigation and study of new technologies for biomed and biotech fields, interested in signing a research cooperation agreement and/or a technical cooperation agreement.

The model turned actor, John Abraham, turns 40 this year. John commenced his career in the media department at Time & Space Media Entertainment Promotions Ltd and Enterprise Nexus but soon with an ideal physique fit for a flourishing modeling career, he made it big by winning the title of the Gladrags Manhunt in March, 1999 followed by the 1st runner up title of Gladrags Manhunt International held in Philippines. Subsequently, his work for modeling agencies shot him to fame, tagging him one of the most sought after and highest paid models in India and also earning him entry to Bollywood, with his debut film, Jism. The movie helped him bag the nomination for best debut in Filmfare. Life then on had a series of successes and failures for John but nothing could hamper his determination to make it to the top and soon, in 2004, he bagged an IIFA for best villain for his performance in the Yashraj thriller, Dhoom">Dhoom.
After proving his mettle in acting, John debuted as a producer in 2012 with the critically and commercially successful movie,Vicky Donor. John has also largely been in the limelight due to his long-term relationship with model and actress, Bipasha Basu, and their astounding break up in 2011. Presently, the actor is dating Priya Runchal, an NRI financial analyst and investment banker from USA.
Sharing his birthday with John is Riteish who turns 33 and is renowned for playing humorous characters in multi-starrer super-hits. Son of Late Politician Vilashrao Deshmukh, and an architect by profession, acting could have been a surprise for him. Fulfilling the dream of his father, who wanted to become an actor himself, Riteish opened his acting career with K. Vijaya Bhaskar's Tujhe Meri Kasam in 2003 opposite Genelia D'Souza. However, though he had to wait till 2004 for success to come by in Masti, for which he won quite a few awards for best comedian! Tujhe Meri Kasam, not only got him the Star Screen Award for best promising new comer, but also, gave him his most prized possession today -his wife, Genelia. Riteish and Genelia D'Souza started dating ever since the release of their debut film and after a long courtship of almost nine years, tied the knot on the 3rd of February this year.
BollyCurry wishes John and Riteish a magnificent birthday and lots of success in the coming years.

Beach Clean Helpers Needed For Chesil Cove
10:16am 27th June 2012
Volunteers are needed for a beach clean at Chesil Cove this Saturday.
The community event is being supported by two local companies, Vinci Construction UK Limited and New Look.
All are welcome and free refreshments will be provided by New Look and Vinci Construction UK Limited afterwards. Gloves and litter pickers will be provided but those attending are recommended to wear wellies or old trainers.
Saturday 30th June 2012 at 11 am - 1 pm at Chesil Cove (Promenade by the Cove House Inn).
Vinci Construction UK Limited is currently building the new New Look Head Offices in Weymouth. Nigel Crawford from the company explained that "VINCI Construction UK is committed to improving the environment and making an impact on local communities, particularly through its unique partnership with the Prince's Trust, Construction Youth Trust and Duke of Edinburgh's Award. In addition, the company recently supported the UK NHS Sustainability Day at Coventry University Hospital where we have a 40 year maintenance contract. To continue the theme of sustainability, we are supporting the Hospital's Outerspace project to deliver natural green space by providing electric vehicle charging points and bicycle racks."
The Dorset Coast Forum and Dorset Countryside rangers are helping to organise the beach clean as part of the local Litter Free Coast and Sea campaign. Matilda Bark from the Dorset Coast Forum added that "We were really pleased when Vinci Construction UK limited contacted the team and said they wanted to show their support for the campaign by organising a local beach clean." Litter Free Coast and Sea is a campaign to try and reduce the amount of marine and beach litter along the Jurassic coast. It seeks to raise societal awareness of both the problems and the potential solutions relating to marine litter. If you cannot come along to the beach clean you can still show your support for the campaign by enjoying a Litter
Free Lunch next time you are having a day out at the coast." Litter Free Lunches are simple, just follow the three B's:
o Bags - Use and reuse heavy cotton bags or bags for life to carry your food
o Bottles - Take home all your drinks bottles and reuse them on your next day out
o BBQs - Once finished, use sea water to cool it down ready to take home and dispose of
If you would like to find out more about the beach clean event on 30th June 2012 or the campaign please contact Matilda Bark on 01305 224833 or firstname.lastname@example.com

The long bow! One of the earliest weapons made by man. You can make your own from Bamboo for around 3 bucks! This is pretty powerful and will be plenty adequate to hunt small game and maybe even mid size animals.
I found a great tutorial that shows you how to make a bamboo longbow so theoretically this whole bow could be made from your back yard if you grew bamboo, if not pretty much all hardware stores sell it.
Obviously this bow wouldn't be your first choice if you needed a secondary or backup weapon for protection or hunting but it packs some punch and because it doesn't look like a $1000 bow you could leave this out without worrying about people stealing it in a SHTF situation. Check the tutorial out in the link below

About: Royal Blackburn Hospital Royal Blackburn Hospital Blackburn BB2 3HH
Posted via NHS Choices
What I liked
Nothing at all !
What could be improved
Staff were awful.....
Staff were off hand......
The staff nurses I came into contact with were just totally rude and had no respect for others......
I am going to take this matter further, and I would never go to blackburn royal hospital again!
Anything else?
Burnley, manchester, preston hospitals are much better run and treat people very well.
I have just read on the internet all the bad comments regarding blackburn royal hospital.
I totally understand blackburn royay are under staffed but the two nurses I met today require people skills....

Franken congratulates Fulbright recipients
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) congratulated Janice Haworth and Louise Jackson from Bemidji, who have been awarded Fulbright scholarships to study abroad in Guinea and the Slovak Republic. Both attended Bemidji State University. There are 72 recipients statewide.
"I'm immensely proud that Minnesota has produced so many young students and scholars who have received the prestigious Fulbright award," said Sen. Franken in a press release. "These Scholarships will allow them to explore new cultures and to represent Minnesota all over the world."
The Fulbright Scholarship is America's flagship international exchange program. It is sponsored by the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs. The program's purpose is to build mutual understanding between the people of the United States and the people of other countries. Since its inception, the Fulbright Program has exchanged over a quarter of a million people in more than 155 countries.
Recipients of the Fulbright are selected on the basis of academic or professional achievement, as well as demonstrated leadership potential in their fields.

Joey Essex will be seen breaking down in tears as he shares memories of his mother with girlfriend Sam Faiers on The Only Way is Essex.
The 22-year-old nightclub promoter's mum Tina took her own life when Essex was only 10 years old, and he becomes emotional as he looks through old family photographs with Faiers.
Essex tells Faiers: "I just wish I had a mum... I just miss her. If I see a picture, it just upsets me."
He also asks her if she will visit Tina's grave for the first time with him, as Mother's Day approaches.
Essex paid tribute to his mother on Saturday (March 2), writing to thank fans for "all [their] kind tweets" on her birthday.
The Only Way Is Essex airs tonight (March 6) at 10pm on ITV2.

Human Needs
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
Human Needs is a love story with a happy ending. Pursue the American Dream in sunny Gushing Meadows. Introduce yourself to the lovely new things. People your house with useful friends. Satisfy your needs.
This game is a piece of surreal interactive fiction and an inversion of systems close to our hearts. It is inspired by the Sims but plays unlike it. I hope you will be revolted by my game.

adult webcam fun The dream of human flight, for most of us, is a permanent fixture in our collective imagination. The mere thought of flying can unleash a daydream montage that's difficult to quantify. As flightless mammals, maybe it gives us a sense of power in experiencing something we're not equipped to – a sense of doing the impossible, allowing us to surpass the boundaries of everyday life.
source site Vegas Indoor Skydiving offers this exact experience to thrill seekers visiting Las Vegas, and no plane or parachute is necessary. It's America's first indoor skydiving facility, built back in 1982. Here, guests earn their wings and experience body flight during a simulated skydive experience, located in the heart of the Strip. The experience is similar to skydiving with the addition of a mesh trampoline floor and foam padded walls. Guests are able to simulate the free-fall aspect of skydiving without the use of an airplane or parachute.
http://www.ebz-pflege.de/?CAMS=dads-against-daughters-dating-shirt&a29=14 The Vertical Wind Tunnel inside Vegas Indoor Skydiving produces enough momentous upward wind force to support the weight of any average adult. Each flyer must attend a brief training class. On the way upstairs, you might even see a Chuck Norris motivational poster to pump you up accordingly. After watching a short video, the instructor teaches each flyer proper body position and flight technique, the hand signals used in the wind tunnel, and will discuss any safety concerns. The instructor then helps each guest to suit up in a specialized flight suit, complete with earplugs, goggles and a helmet. Once the equipment is all properly prepared, the instructor leads the group into the wind tunnel and you're ready to fly. The entire experience takes about an hour.
http://www.vai.net/?WEBCAMS=imlive-mobile&d68=3a To say the least, the experience is divine. It's a bit nerve-wracking to see how easily the instructors fly through the air, when compared to how challenging it can be to execute expert moves from the start. With practice, however, anyone can fly through the air. Vegas Indoor Skydiving will undoubtedly become a highpoint of your Las Vegas Strip experience.
voyure cams Vegas Indoor Skydiving strives to provide a safe and memorable indoor skydiving experience to Las Vegas' visitors, understanding that everyone learns and grows at different rates. Both experienced jumpers and novices are welcome. Vegas Indoor adapts to the ability of the flyer and encourages their development by sharing a genuine love and knowledge of flight.
http://www.ville-meaux.fr/?CAMS-CAMS=asian-adult-sex&a1f=ff Just remember to pay attention to your instructor. Keep a stable body position. Float. Stick to these ideas and you'll do just fine. Having Chuck Norris' badass nature in mind doesn't hurt, either.
Vegas Indoor Skydiving is open daily from 9:45 a.m. to 8 p.m. Single flight tickets are available for $75, with repeat flights on the same day available for $50 each. A 15-minute block for up to five participants is available for $325, 30 minute blocks for up to 10 participants are available for $550 and hour-long blocks for up to 20 participants are available for $1,000. Las Vegas locals can fly for just $50 and military discounts are available with military ID. Event packages are also available. Call (877) LUV-2FLY or visit online at www.vegasindoorskydive.com for more information.

Good Luck 13. I like that CSB play.
Thanks for the response. I hope you win them all but one. LoL
Clavell is a beast. And they are at home, in thin air, better free throw shooting. And CSB turns it over at a ridiculous rate. I do wish it was a smaller number tho. Waiting for it to keep dropping. BOL

Now that you have picked a date, a photographer and probably a venue as well, you can celebrate! Those are some of the toughest decisions in wedding planning and you can cross them off your list! Hooray!! Now onto the fun stuff.... like your engagement session! Even though it's not mandatory to have an engagement sessions in The Wedding Experience I truly believe that they are a VITAL part of the entire process. Even if you're out of town that's no problems as I love flying!
During your engagement session, you'll have the chance to get to know me, experience how I shoot and how I handle posing and lighting. This session will make a HUGE impact on how the wedding day flows. I'll arrive on your wedding day already knowing how you two interact, what your best poses are and how to photograph you in a genuine way! What I will learn about you during your engagement session is invaluable! You will feel like such a pro on your big day because of the great practice you had during your engagement session and that's how it should be!
Your engagement session can be scheduled anytime before your wedding day. I normally suggest booking it at least 3-6 months in advance to avoid stress. Because our weekends are filled with wedding stuff, I often shoot engagement sessions on weekday evenings, normally from 5-7pm depending on the light and the time of the year. In the winter months, 2-4pm is a normal time frame for an eshoot! As you start to plan for your engagement shoot, you will need to start brainstorming about location ideas. I LOVE it when couples pick a location that is special or sentimental to them in some way! If you can't think of anywhere specific that you would like to shoot, I can help you decide on a location! I can make ANY location look awesome as it's about you and your connection with each other! I shoot at farms, campuses, downtown alleys and even laundry mats! I'm serious! Do not shy away from crazy ideas! If you two love running, I'll run along side you. If you love snowshoeing, let's go. The more creative, the better! Be sure to keep reading to find out more about outfit ideas and inspiration!
It's always a little intimidating to have your picture taken .... even if it's just a photo on an iphone that is taken by a friend, we still want to look nice, make sure nothing is in our teeth and that our hair is behaving! I realize that preparing for your engagement session can be a little overwhelming. Here are some tips for outfits and accessories that will make the e-shoot preparation a little more managable!
- Don't try to MATCH...try to pick outfits and accessories that coordinate instead. If everyone wore the same exact color at their e-shoot, how boring would those images be?
- Most often, couples like to have one casual, everyday outfit and then one outfit that is dressier! This will give your shoot two totally different "looks". I recommend beginning with the dressy outfit first!
- Relax! You don't have to be a pro at this! I'm going to help you along the way and it's going to be a blast! Enjoy this time together and make a date out of it! Plan dinner afterwards and celebrate!!
- Don't be afraid to be BOLD! Accessorize and make your outfits your own! Scarves, bold necklaces and fun shoes are always welcomed!
- Empty your pockets! Literally. You don't want to have key chains or phones showing through your pockets. (This is for the guys especially!)
- Be sure to check out my Pinterest boards for more outfit inspiration if you're having trouble! I recently deleted everything from my Pinterest boards so it'll be growing over the next few weeks so keep checking.
- Please be on time! The sun is only out for so long and I want to give you a fabulous experience! The later you arrive, the less time we have to shoot! And nobody wants that!
- MOST PATTERNS are actually ok.... however, graphics are not favorable for portraits. If you're wearing a pattern, make sure it's not overwhelming and distracting. Please stay away from Plaid unless it's a kilt for your wedding day

One new way it's engaging visitors is by welcoming them with a brand new exhibit in the Teck Connections Gallery, which serves as the entrance to the venue. The star attraction: "Connections 360" - a fully immersive, 360-degree, high-definition water experience powered by seven large-venue Barco projectors. The exhibit comprises a 185+-foot-wide screen powered by 140,000 lumens from seven Barco HDX-W20 FLEX projectors, supplied by Barco's Entertainment distributor, SC Media Canada.
The screens are an integral and powerful part of the space, creating the heart and mood of whatever story is begin shared.

CLOVER'S party invites cause some trouble, journo against journo and the ABC partners up with Fairfax ... quite a bit.
NYE invitation mayhem
IT is the hottest the ticket in town, but Clover Moore's New Year's Eve party is causing Sydney City Council staff one giant headache. As the bright pink, oversized envelopes containing the sought-after invitations to Clover's annual extravaganza at Sydney Opera House went out last week, the phone lines at Town Hall went into meltdown as desperate party people rang to "check" if their invite was "still in the mail". One NSW minister was musing that Ms Moore may have crossed him off the list given the campaign the O'Farrell government waged against her this year. "Looks like I've been cut," the minister moaned.
It's journo versus journo
IT was one of the most entertaining media spats of late - but The Australian state political editor Imre Salusinszky remains baffled as to why he was the target. The spat occurred after News Ltd's The Australian had published an exclusive interview Salusinszky had done with former NSW treasurer Michael Costa on claims he had received millions of dollars in shares from a water services company linked to former Labor power broker Eddie Obeid. Walkley-award winning Fairfax journalist Kate McClymont had been working on the story. Costa had been made aware Fairfax was sniffing around and approached Salusinszky to publish his account denying the claims first. The publication of the yarn resulted in a furious McClymont accusing Salusinszky of not doing his "own work". Salusinszky said he could not understand why McClymont was mad at him and was baffled why McClymont did not publish earlier. "They gave him days to think of a counterstrike and he did," he said.
ABC joint stories not so fearless
YOU would think a public broadcaster such as the Australian Broadcasting Corporation would want to remain as independent as possible, and would certainly not want to be seen to be favouring one commercial organisation. So how do you explain the ABC's continuous use of Fairfax and their journalists in joint investigations? They certainly shouldn't have staffing issues - and the ABC has a billion-dollar budget and their own investigative units - so surely they've got the time and resources to chase their own yarns. The latest joint investigation was the alleged network of corrupt Customs officers at Sydney Airport.
Do you hear the people tweet?
WE are not sure who had the better time but both Premier Barry O'Farrell and Caroline Pemberton, the former Miss World Australia, were posting photos and tweeting madly after walking down the red carpet at the premiere of Les Miserables on Friday night. "Les Miserable (sic) was AMAZING!" Pemberton tweeted. "Had a wonderful time with Barry O'Farrell and meeting Hugh Jackman & Russell Crowe and sitting next to the lovely Lucy & Malcolm (sic) Turnbull."

Painstaking etching on ivory or bone -- Practiced for centuries by the Inuit and other native groups along the Northwest Coast, it was adopted by the Yankee whalemen of the early 1800's
The term "scrimshaw" also applies to carved or pierced bone or ivory, since much of the whalemen's work was carved rather than etched.

An admiral gave his name to a method of carving.
Scrimshaw is the art of carving on 'a piece of whale jawbone or walrus tooth. It was done by sailors with time on their hands as they crossed the oceans in search of whales.
The work was often very delicately done, with scenes of ships, mermaids and monsters. The word 'scrimshaw' is probably derived from the name of Admiral Scrimshaw, who was apparently an expert in the craft.'

Asheville has a great supply of unique and tantalizing restaurants, offering lots of delicious cuisine during your trip to the mountains. Don't let irregular hours put a damper on your restaurant experience during Thanksgiving - there are some great local spots that are open on the big day.
With a chill in the air and the fall season quickly passing us by, there is so much to look forward to during the holidays in Asheville. Some of our most breathtaking events take place in the next couple of months, so plan ahead for what will be an unforgettable adventure in our unique mountain city.
Let's take a moment to appreciate the art of good NC barbeque. There are those who argue about BBQ, about regional preferences and sauce types, methods and techniques, and claim that their style is the ONLY way to eat BBQ. In Asheville, we have a few barbeque options that are worth mentioning: if only because they are so good that almost everyone can agree!
Young people are prepping for the new school year, the air is almost getting a chill in the mornings, and the change in our foliage is soon to show why this is the most popular time of the year to visit. Don't let this season slip away without coming to see us, it must be seen to be believed!
The North Carolina portion of the Blue Ridge Parkway offers some of the greatest views in the Southeastern United States. Access to the Blue Ridge Parkway is less than two miles from our cabins, and the drive is beautiful no matter what direction you choose. Summer drives are lush and green, with velvet mountain tops and random bursts of color. In fall, the display is most spectacular; with gold hues and red accents as far as the eye can see. One direction will take you toward Pisgah National Forest and the gorgeous Craggy Gardens. The other way heads down into Nantahala National Forest where there are no shortage of scenic photo opportunities.

MacSharry's view of boom, bust and the future
2005-2007: Boom
In the five years to the end of 2007 the Irish economy experienced a period of unprecedented economic growth and expansion:
- GDP increased by 30 per cent in real terms and circa 45 per cent in nominal terms over the five years.
- Numbers employed increased by 20 per cent to more than 2.1 million with wage growth of 29 per cent.
- Consumer spending increased by 28 per cent in real terms with consumer price inflation recording a further 18 per cent increase.
- Household mortgage borrowing increased from €4.7bn in 2002 to €102bn in 2007.
- Household debt increased from 84 per cent to more than 154 per cent of disposable income. However, household savings ratio is estimated to have fallen by four percentage points.
- Some 400,000 new housing units were built representing more than 20 per cent of the housing stock in 2007. House prices increased by 45 per cent.
- External liabilities of the Irish banking sector increased from 10 per cent to almost 60 per cent of GDP.
The phenomenally positive background -- which of course in hindsight we now recognise as in large measure a bubble -- was essentially the catalyst for what followed.
2008-2009: Bust
In 2008 and 2009 the combined impact of the credit crisis, the global recession and the collapse of the Irish property market resulted in the economy going into reverse.
GDP fell by more than 10 per cent in real terms and by 15 per cent in nominal terms. Employment fell by 10 per cent and unemployment increased from a low of 4.5 per cent to 12.5 per cent.
Property prices fell substantially and have further to fall.
This sharp and severe adjustment has positioned the economy to begin to recover in 2010.
However, given the specific challenges facing Ireland, namely
- The recapitalisation and restructuring of the Irish banking sector
- And the correction of the deficit in the public finances and the requirement to restore competitiveness
-- the emergence of the economy out of recession and a return to capacity growth will be slow and will take longer than it otherwise should with Ireland's performance lagging behind most European economies for a period.
2010: Recovery
Consensus forecasts for 2010 are for GDP to fall by circa 1 per cent in real terms but for the country to come out of recession in the second half of the year.
Thereafter an annual average growth rate of 4 per cent over the period of 2011 to 2014 is achievable given the growth in labour supply and productivity and the slack in the economy. This assumes that the major challenges are successfully managed and the global economic recovery -- on which Ireland is hugely reliant -- is sustained.

George Mason suspends forward Mike Morrison an additional game
Tuesday, February 16, 2010
George Mason University suspended forward Mike Morrison an additional game after his ejection from Saturday's loss at Old Dominion, leaving the Patriots without their leading shot blocker and second-best rebounder for Tuesday's critical Colonial Athletic Association home game against William & Mary and Saturday's nonconference visit by College of Charleston.
Morrison, a 6-foot-9 sophomore, received a double technical foul for yelling at a referee during the second half of a 76-60 loss in Norfolk. Per CAA guidelines, the dismissal carried an automatic one-game suspension.
George Mason Athletic Director Tom O'Connor added a second game to the penalty because Morrison failed to "meet the standards expected of a Mason student-athlete."
Morrison has started all but one game for the Patriots (16-10, 11-4 CAA) and is averaging 8 points and 5.6 rebounds. He is shooting 53.9 percent from the field and has blocked 40 shots.
After Saturday's game, Morrison was remorseful, saying: "I lost my cool. It shouldn't have happened."
With three league games remaining, the Patriots are in third place in the CAA, one game behind Northeastern and Old Dominion and one game ahead of Drexel and William & Mary (18-7, 10-5). Four teams will receive first-round byes in the conference tournament.

Champaign man charged after gun found in vehicle
URBANA — A Champaign man is due back in court Feb. 19 after police found a loaded gun in a car during a traffic stop.
Mashaun A. Jackson, 19, who listed an address in the 2000 block of West Bradley Avenue, Champaign, was charged on Monday with aggravated unlawful use of a weapon.
According to a police report, a state trooper stopped a car at 6:33 p.m. Sunday on Bradley Avenue near Mattis Avenue because it was clocked going 44 mph in a 35 mph zone.
When the trooper made contact with the driver, he noticed the odor of suspected marijuana coming from inside the car.
As a result of that, the trooper began to search the car. While no marijuana was found, the officer did find a loaded semiautomatic pistol in the center console.
Jackson denied knowing anything about the gun. Police then arrested Jackson and took him to the Champaign County Jail.

Objective: to cut down on spatial disorientation between shots; to maintain a continuous flow; to limit spectatorial confusion; to make space legible
3. Objects function as a) props that give a sense of authenticity/realism or b) to show something significant about the characters
4. No graphic contrasts (as in Eisenstein) and no overly precise graphic matches (as in Vertov); consistent lighting levels

"In Hollywood, any objects which are not used as props or externalisations of character traits are simply there to be minimally noticeable as part of a general verisimilitude [appearance of being real] –a background for the narrative…. But in many Ozufilm scenes, the objects in the space of the scene vie successfully with the narrative action for attention."

Sky Rockets in Flight!
Yasothon Travel Blog› entry 2 of 2 › view all entries
Bung Ban Fai is celebrated all over Thailand, but it's at its best in Yasothon. This little province is kinda a backwater for most of the year, but May 7-10 it's a huge party. The rocket festival is another celebration to bring on the rainy season- shooting rockets into the sky will help explode the clouds and make the rain fall down. Again, it's a matter of clever timing; by May the rainy season has already started or is just around the corner.
The rockets are built by businesses and families, so the city of Yasothon kinda shuts down for the days preceeding the finale events. The main drag of town is lined with stages to dance on or watch performances, there is a parade, there is copious amounts of drinking, there is a small carnival, and a handicrafts fair.
By May 10 everything has been dismantled and everyone has moved to the rocket field of the edge of town. Rocket festival indeed- every size and sound imaginable. From tons of kids with bottle rockets to the "official Thai" rocket (painted the same as the Thai flag)- there was a rocket going off at least every minute.
The big rockets are BIG. The Thai rocket was longer than a house and heavy enough to take 20 men to pull it into place. Igniting the rockets has some ceremonial aspects, plus some good luck rituals and last minute finagaling to help the rocket fly straight. If your rocket doesn't fly straight into the sky you have you sacrifice yourself to the earth gods by jumping into the mud pits and rolling around until you're good and filthy. (avoiding the mud people provided plenty of amusement)
Afternoon delights indeed! And, wouldn't you know it, the next day the rain poured like crazy...

Want to lose
those unwanted pounds? If so, you're not alone. Many people begin the
summer season with a goal to lose weight. We all know this means eating
a healthy, balanced diet. But it also means exercising. And
that's where many of us fall short. More than 60 percent of American
adults fail to get the minimum recommended amount of exercise: half an
hour to an hour of moderate activity most days of the week.
The exercise
needed to help you lose weight and keep it off can be as simple as
brisk walking. In fact, many people who dislike participating in sports
are surprised to find how much they enjoy walking. And you can break up
the recommended 30 minutes to an hour into 10-15 -minute sessions
scattered throughout the day.
Even a small
increase in your physical activity can substantially reduce your health
risks, especially if you have been inactive. That's the encouraging
news from the fourth edition of the "American Medical Association
Family Medical Guide."
According to the reference book, here's what exercise does for your health:
Find a type
of exercise that not only fits your schedule but is also fun and
rewarding enough to keep you from getting bored and quit. The Guide
offers the following practical tips for incorporating more physical
activity into your daily routine:
All types of
physical activity are good for you, lowering your health risks and
possibly helping you live longer-as long as you do them regularly. The
more exercise you do, and the more vigorous it is, the greater the
health benefits, but even moderate activity is beneficial. The key is
to get started.

My Profile
My name is Pierre and I am a french expat who have been living in UK for the last 12 years.
Most of my professional experience has been nearly working for the same company, a subcontractor company of Eurostar dealing with the Customer Service on board their trains between Belgium, France and UK.
After evolving within my company I became HR Manager in 2010 managing now 400 employees.
A busy schedule but an increasing need to help others. I lost my family in the space of few years and I have always wanted to help elderly people which I think comes from the fact that I was very close to my grand parents when I was a child.
I am willing to help those vulnerable elderly people as for me they are full of experience and knowledge and if I can spare few hours a day to keep them company, do their grocery, or just have a conversation with them, I will be pleased to have contributed to diminish their feeling of isolation or loneliness. I feel I understand senior people since I was very close to my grandparents who nealry raised me as a kid. If I can try to make a difference for them then this will be my personal goal and commitment.
