Why Indian writers crave 'British approval'
In a rather dishevelled and provocative opening salvo on why Indians writing in English crave "British approval", Bal took a swipe at Dalrymple describing him as a "pompous arbiter of literary merit in India". He skewered the Jaipur festival - which opened today - for its obsession with British writers: "If Jaipur matters as a festival, it is because of the writers from Britain it attracts." The festival, he wrote, "works not because it is a literary enterprise, but because it ties us to the British literary establishment". And if Dalrymple appears central to our literary culture, signed off Bal, it says "something more damaging about us than about him".
Dalrymple hit back with an acerbic rebuttal using strong language. He described Bal's piece as "blatantly racist", saying it "felt little more than the literary equivalent of pouring shit through an immigrant's letterbox".
He tore into Bal's argument that the Jaipur festival was a British jamboree - British writers "brown, black and white" make up a "minority within the minority" of foreigners, he wrote, adding that two thirds of the writers invited were Desis (South Asians).
On the face of it, it is difficult to contest this defence - the festival's two key international speakers are Turkish (Orhan Pamuk) and South African (JM Coetzee), there are sessions on literature from India's neglected north-east, from Palestinians, Israelis and Pakistanis. Minority and Dalit (Untouchable) writing features too. Dalrymple also accused Bal of "double standards and reverse racism".
Bal picked up the gauntlet, denying the racism barb and said that Dalrymple did not know "what it means to suffer the indignity he so easily cites in his defence". He added: "I have had to stand in a London tube as drunk football falls pouring out of a match called into question the race and origins of people such as me."
The dust-up has predictably raised the hackles of commentators both in India and Britain - The Telegraph in London called Bal's piece a "nasty piece of journalism"; respondents in Open magazine worried about Dalrymple's literary influence in India and accused him of writing shallow books on Mughals.
But for the personal attacks on both sides, this appears to be a stale debate. Indian writers have benefited from British approval for nearly a century now. WB Yeats introduced Rabindranath Tagore's Gitanjali (Song of Offering) to the world in 1912. It became his best known work in the world and won him the Nobel Prize. The doyen of Indian writing in English, RK Narayan, was introduced to the world by Graham Greene who recommended his debut novel to a publisher, leading to its publication in 1935. Salman Rushdie won the Booker for Midnight's Children a good half a century later.
The debate about whether Indians writing in English look for approval from abroad - or to foreign publishers and awards - also has a sense of deja vu about it. One of India's award-winning writers Shashi Deshpande has argued that Indian writing in English smacks of post-colonialism. She has said that such writers "do not know any Indian language well enough" and that "the outsider's assessment still remains the privileged one". Writer Meenakshi Mukherjee has dwelt upon Indians writing in English being gripped by an "anxiety of Indian-ness" - "Indian-ness" being a quality their books needed to travel abroad.
One leading Indian writer I spoke to said that he never understands this grouse. "England and America are bigger markets. It's natural to care. Having a home market is good, but it is still small. The good thing is that it is growing." Many writers agree that it is odd that literary festivals in India should be run by foreigners. But why moan about it, they say. If we feel strongly about this, should we not mount alternative events instead? So is this all, as a writer friend wonders, just a storm in a teacup?

I do believe that Bal has a point but he need not have employed such an acerbic tone. Nor did I care for Dalrymple's response, which was equally harsh and what is worse, crude. I listened to the discussion between Kishwar Desai and Bal on BBC Radio today and did not relish the Moderator's query- shouldn't an Indian literary festival be providing a reference point to the UK because many of its writers write in English? By this yardstick, should British Museums not be giving credit to all the countries from which their displayed artefacts have been looted, including the Jewel in the Crown? The double standards of the Western world are indeed appalling!

Best to ignore him.
Sounds like the Jaipur festival covers literary figures from around the world and is good for India. Isn't that what matters?

Firstly, the whole affair does seem to be a tempest in teacup. However, there is another related issue that is more complex and may get stoked inadvertently if the primary focus of the literary festival is English based literature.
To this reader it seems that many Indians are also adopting English at the expense of respective Indian languages. This reader often finds that regardless of their proficiencies in English, many Indians often converse amongst themselves in English even if everyone present has the same mother tongue! Furthermore, often they mix words mostly from Hindi - to create a despicable variety that may be called "Hinglish"! To make matters worse, even the mainstream Indian media also joins in the same!
Adoption of English is certainly good - but does not have to be at the expense of one's own Indian mother tongue. And why is this important? This is important because there is a vast body of literature and other cultural items developed in a variety of Indian linguistic mediums over the past eons. Access to such a vast body of wisdom in the heritage will be missed without adequate language proficiency.
Even though this reader agrees with GWTW regarding the tussle between Dalrymple and Bal (although Bal did discharge the first salvo), there is a definite disagreement on the comment regarding the "...double standards of the Western world" only. Sadly no community - NONE - is immune from double standards, aka hypocrisy. The Western world has it and so does the Eastern world (or for that matter, Northern and Southern worlds as well).

Comments made by mikethelionheart:
Sadly you are profoundly mistaken - spending "...a lot of time in India.." notwithstanding!
However the good news is the a sample size of one is statistically totally irrelevant and the comment can be cast aside with perfect ease.
And yes, everyone has to grow up.

Bal's argument is blatant jealousy. Think of the hoopla if there were a British literature event and then a white English author decried the fact that the event was co-chaired by an Indian? There would be huge hoopla and everybody would condemn the white English author. As a person of Indian-origin, we should be proud that this festival is being run on merit rather than nepotism or cronyism. Can only people of Indian origin be interested in Indian literature and culture? Why is it that Britain is always seen as a pernicious influence? I think Mr. Bal needs to grow up and realize that racism can be felt by everyone, including Whites.

My initial impression of Bal's first piece was that Hartosh Singh Bal has a major chip on his shoulder and/or is a publicity-seeker.
My opinion, after his rebuttal, did not change.
As has been pointed pointed out by numerous commenters and Dalrymple himself, the nature of audiences, sessions and speakers at JLF destroys Bal's claims. Pre-JLF, Indians complained that no-one was taking notice. Now, Bal has found a new grouse.
In terms of approval, I think there is a larger phenomenon at work here. When it comes to politics and diplomacy, successive Indian Governments always sought the approval of the US in the post-Cold War 1990s period. Registering complaints against what they perceived as 'transgressions' by Pakistan occurred regularly. This probably happened because the US was seen as the world superpower at the time.
Similarly, Indians have traditionally grown up on a diet of British literature, reading about well-established British literary awards. It is natural to think of Britain as a leading literary power.
Apropos 'celebrity' writers getting more attention than 'great writers [from Europe]', doesn't the celebrity culture pervade all aspects of public life? Who does Bal think would get more media attention during red carpet movie award/music events?
As for any ongoing need for British approval, more and more Indians in the middle-class see the US as their choice for higher education, etc. American television and cultural influences, American slang, trends are all more prevalent in India today. Gone are the days of domination of English public-school and Oxbridge-educated grandees in the Indian political and diplomatic circles. It therefore baffles me how Bal finds this particular kind of cultural cringe to be very strong in India..... And his tone in his first piece is shockingly offensive (as with most such offensive pieces, a result of his ignorance).
To me, Bal's pieces suggest his refusal/inability to accept Dalrymple as an Indian writer. And refusal to accept that a British-born writer could head a major Indian literary festival without it having imperial-colonial implications.

It's a little bit amazing to note that, of all the people bluffing and blathering here in the most esoteric tones, not one person has chosen to mention a crucial fact: across the whole of India, English is the unifying language.
Any writer wishing to achieve major sales and recognition - even within just India - will be published in English and the various other languages (29 are official; more are recognised as informal national languages) spoken across the sub-continent.
Given the huge number of separate languages, it shouldn't surprise anyone that Indian authors write in English because it's the one language most Indians speak.
Perhaps the major problem is that Western commentators take having a single language in our home countries for granted?

No - he was born in Ireland. The fact that it was occupied by the British at the time is irrelevant.

This reader believes that at least in part, the English language Indian writers do seek the approval from the foreign - esp. the British - critics. And in a country so large, and with such a large population who understands English very well, that may seem odd - but in itself it is not necessarily a negative thing. It is when this tendency translates into a habit of writing for the foreign critic and starts defining the content of the literature that I believe the true negativity comes about. Any work originating from a country must necessarily be colored by the local culture and must depict the complexities and subtelities invovled in that culture. And this becomes difficult - sometimes impossible - when the language chosen is not native. Somethings are just inexpressible in one language - single words can cary the weights of entire ways of thinking and theres precious little that anybody can do to express that in a foreign language that simply doesnt carry that style of thinking.
However, a very large number of people in India study English as a language from kindergarten. So it is not surprising at all that many people talk amingst themselves in English - esp. if they dont know each othrs' mother tounges - something that is very common in India. You can also say that the advent of 'Hinglish', where english words are very liberally splashed around in an otherwise Hindi dialouge, is just a consequence of the youth adopting english into their daily lives. This phenomenon is bound to increase in the increasingly global India with a rising economy and a booming educated urban middle class. Thus, it is entirely possible that this tendency of 'seeking outside approval' might die out as newer blood refreshes the literarry scene and finds it proud feet propelled by an all round growth of the country's prospects.

Some time has passed and I have learned lots.
I gave birth to our daughter August of 2011. And boy has my life certainly been interesting, and blessed. Our little Hana is truly a joy; minus the whole sleep thing. We got none of that the first month. I started to go into labor at about 9pm on a Wednesday. I had just sent love out for some highly unhealthy food because well I know my over eating days were numbered. And wouldn't you know it our little one decides there was no time like that time to want out. So I started having some very real contractions. Of course being my unprepared procrastinating self, I did NOT have my 'Go' bag ready to well GO. So I followed my birthing instructors directions and waited and timed everything before calling L&D. So after 2 & 1/2 hours of laboring at home I could no longer stand that pain and off to the hospital we went.
For those new moms reading this I would suggest the epidural. I know you may have a birth plan and that plan does NOT include one but it WILL make your birth experience muuch more enjoyable. The needle is not scary and it really only took a total of 7 mins if that. So really think about the pain of it all when those first contractions take you by surprise, you should know they WILL only get worse.
After I got the epidural I fell asleep for about 3-4 hours and woke up 6cm later. It was wonderful. After a few hours of labor our beautiful daughter was born. That first night was pure adrenaline. I was up for 24 hours straight. Love on the other hand? He was out, like a light. Boy I tell ya you would think he had just spent 12 hours getting ready to have a baby.
Now this is all just a recap of how my wonderful life as I know it to be now came to be to begin with. Motherhood starts with the birth and continues on for the rest of your life. It is a beautiful and wonderful thing; it may be trying at times but there is nothing as great. So please sit back and relax while I share all I have learned from my little girl in these last four months.

Superbowl Ads throw a Hail Mary…but is there anyone there to catch it? Part 2
Posted By Anthony Garcia On February 10, 2006 @ 1:34 pm In Online Persuasion | No Comments
ClickZ news reports the following…
Traffic to advertiser sites spiked in the fourth quarter and continued in the hours and days following the game, according to Web services provider Akamai, which hosts more than half of the advertisers' Web presences. The company registered a peak 782,679 visitors per minute to its client's sites during the fourth quarter as users added the Web to their personal media mixes.
"There is a convergence between TV and the Web," Akamai Director of Marketing Kieran Taylor told ClickZ News. "Madison Avenue has been looking for the notion of closed loop marketing. The Web delivers that. In real time, they can gauge the efficiency of an ad based on the visitors to a Web site." Read the entire article Superbowl Viewers Swarmed to the Web [1]
Closed loop? Effeciency of an ad? What about effeciency to top line sales? What about conversion rate effeciency? What about ROI?
As we pointed out in part one of these posts, some of the Superbowl ads generated traffic, but did they convert visitors into sales, into leads, into future prospects? GoDaddy.com suceeded in getting peoples attention, but clearly dropped the conversion ball.
So we wanted to take a look at a 2006 Superbowl advertiser that actually did a decent job planning the scenario and the scent trails that visitors must follow.
Watch our critique of Blockbuster.com's Super Bowl campaign [2] (4mb Shockwave Flash movie, 7 minutes)
Note: We want to thank the super folks at TechSmith [4], especially Betsy Weber and Travis Stoliker for their assistance in using Camtasia to create and post these flash movies. We are all big fans of SnagIt [5] and obviously Camtasia [6] will make any amatuer video presenter look like a pro.

Lindsay Lohan has posed topless.
Earlier this week, we debated over whether a mom should let daughter watch "The Parent Trap" amid all the chatter about Lindsay Lohan's suddenly super skinny appearance. Now, to add to the drama, topless photos of Lindsay have cropped up, from fashion photographer Hedi Slimane.
We've been down this road before with Vanessa Hudgens, Cheetah Girl Adrienne Bailon, and Miley Cyrus. Here we go again!
We asked clinical psychologist Dr. Cara Gardenswartz, Ph.D., for some guidance.
Momlogic: Should we discuss these photos with our kids?
Dr. Cara Gardenswartz: If you have reason to believe that your teenager has seen these photos or knows about the photos, I highly recommend that you address the issue directly. It is important that you model to your teenager that we can "talk about anything" so that they feel comfortable bringing up topics with you that they might otherwise shy away from. Open dialogue will encourage your teenagers to tell you about what they are feeling and even thinking about doing (e.g., experimentation that occurs in the teenage years).
Momlogic: If our teen brings these up, what should we say?
Dr. Cara Gardenswartz: If your teenager brings the pictures up, it is important to first listen to what they have to say. Ask them: "What do YOU think about the pictures?" More often than not, they will already have an opinion that is sensible, such as "I think she's being a bad role model." If they say that they like Lindsay's decision, ask them "Why?" and also ask them if they see any downsides to her actions. You can also ask your teen (if you have reason to be concerned) if she has ever thought about posting provocative pictures of herself. If she says yes, ask her why. Overall, you want to have a discussion versus lecture your teen.
Momlogic: What do we say when our kids' role models (such as Miley Cyrus in Vanity Fair) pose topless, no matter how "tasteful" the shots may be?
Dr. Cara Gardenswartz: I would not assume that Miley or Lindsay are role models for your kids. I would ask them who their role models are. I would then follow up with a question about how they feel about Miley, Lindsay, etc. If they like them, how do they feel about the pictures? Overall, encourage discussion and for your teenager to voice both their positive and negative feelings with you, so they feel heard and learn to trust that you will listen to them. That is the best parenting you can do.
What do you think about Lindsay's latest photo shoot?

Accurate measurement of the kinetic coefficient of friction between a surface and a granular mass
Rademacher, F.J.C. (1978) Accurate measurement of the kinetic coefficient of friction between a surface and a granular mass. Powder Technology, 19 (15). pp. 65-77. ISSN 0032-5910
|A device has been developed for correct measurement of the kinematic coefficient of friction between a cohesionless granular material and a surface. Particle size may range from 0.5 up to about 9 mm, depending somewhat on the desired accuracy. Sliding velocity of the granules with respect to the surface was varied up to 33 m/s. The accuracy of the magnitude of the friction coefficient is within ±1.5%, whereas the variation of this coefficient, as caused by the sliding velocity, can be obtained with an accuracy of ±0.5%.

Mae Brussell -Nazi War Criminals in America (05/16/1982)

Everyone's quick to bitch about the Nazis brought in to build our space program, but no one seems to remember the Japanese monsters that were given blanket amnesty and brought in, as well. The same gang that developed "germ warfare" and tested it on entire populations in China, were brought here to continue this fiendish work for America. Everyone's seen "Judgement at Nuremburg," but no films were ever made about the Japanese atrocities or their perpetrators. No, my purpose here isn't to bash the Japanese. My purpose is to ask: so, just what is it that makes us the "good guys," anyway?

Proceeds from this event will go to the Spokane Chapter of the Washington Restaurant Association a non-profit membership organization - for the purpose of maintaining a healthy and progressive restaurant industry in Spokane.
Since this event began 20 years ago, we have contributed over $71,000 to the following organizations and other community causes. It is our goal to accomplish the same level of contributions for this fiscal year as we have in the past.
--- Spokane Community College's Inland Northwest Culinary Academy receives four $500 student scholarships from the WRA annually.
--- We also help financially support Spokane area ProStart programs. ProStart is a two-year high school curriculum that prepares students for careers in the foodservice industry through academic and workplace experiences.
--- Additionally, we help support Feed Spokane, a coalition of about 30 low-income meal provider kitchens that work with participating restaurants who donate their leftover prepared food for the hungry in our community.

SoundCloud Releases iPad App
O Music Awards nominee for Best Music App, SoundCloud, is out with a new addition to its platform today: a native iPad app.
For those who have yet to enter SoundCloud's fold, the platform allows users to record and share sound extremely easily via visually appealing waveforms, and other users to comment on and follow said sounds. It's a huge favorite among musicians — Ben Kweller even penned an ode to the service.
We have yet to download the new app (we left our iPad at home today), but it promises to be a much more visually appealing, tactile experience than the mobile app. According to the company, the app includes:
* Screens to help navigate and discover sounds, along with "stream" and "activity" tabs
* More waveform real estate than other versions of the platform
* The ability to easily find and follow friends and record and send them private messages

The Profile Aqualite drink system is similar to their well-known Aero drink system, but holds about 10 ounces less fluid for weight savings making it ideal for shorter events. Coming out of the aero position can be awkward and cost valuable seconds. The great thing with the Aqualite is it allows the rider easy access to fluids while remaining in the all-important aero position.
The Profile Aqualite holds 22 ounces and is easy to refill with an ingenious no splash cap. It can fit by itself between narrow aero bars about 2" apart. It also fits wider set aero bars with the Profile Aero Drink Bracket available separately.

ODD band to play 3D-printed instruments at Frankfurt gig
Kiwi Professor of Mechtronics Olaf Diegel has now added a set of drums and a keyboard to his catalog of beautiful 3D-printed instruments. His new creations will join guitar and bass models for a road trip to Frankfurt's EuroMold event next month, where a band will take to the stage to play some live sets using the instruments.

Roadie handheld robotic tuner (almost) ready to rock
All manner of integrated and external gadgetry has been introduced over the years to help newbies or seasoned guitarists achieve and maintain pitch perfection with little effort. Rather than requiring players to swap out stock tuning heads for some robotic assistance, like with the TronicalTune system, or buy into the digital manipulation of output from folks like Antares, the Roadie Tuner slips over each machine head, one at a time, and works with a smartphone to bring an instrument to tune.

iLoud speaker offers musicians studio quality audio on the move
Thanks to mobile audio processing and recording apps, composing on the road has never been easier. Showing off your latest killer riff to the rest of the band through tablet or laptop speakers is less than satisfying, however. There are a good many battery-powered micro amps out there which might help a little, but the output is often, to put it delicately, sub-par. Italy's IK Multimedia demonstrated a wired/wireless audio thrower at the Winter NAMM show back in January that promised studio monitor sound quality in a portable, chunky tablet-sized package. Developed specifically for musicians and audiophiles, the 40 W iLoud has now been released. Read More
Review: The Farmer's Mill from Crushsound
Inspired by the kind of brown or muddy tones produced by ZZ Top's Billy Gibbons on tracks like Loaded from the 1996 album Rhythmeen, Jedrzej Lewandowski of Poland's Le 2 Workshop architects created the Farmer's Mill, which was unleashed, appropriately enough perhaps, on April 1 2012. The second generation has now been released. It's a little bigger than its predecessor, a lot better, and is now available in orange as well as white. Gizmag has spent the last few weeks making guitars wheeze, cough and splutter like they've been smoking 40-a-day since birth, and walks way mighty impressed with the destructive capabilities of the Mark II Electric Mud Grinder.

Say bonjour to Kompozit's polyester-bodied guitars
Many veteran guitarists believe that great tone can only come from instruments made using exotic hardwoods. This hasn't stopped makers from trying other materials, though, including Ampeg's iconic Dan Armstrong-designed Plexiglas guitar, the all-metal Gittler Guitar, and the 3D-printed guitar from AweSome Musical Instruments. For its new line of hand-made, Tele-shaped axes, France's Kompozit Guitars has chosen to give polyester-based fiberglass a whirl. Read More
Fender outs folding neck travel acoustics
Taking an acoustic guitar with you when you travel can be a lesson in compromises. You may have to make do with an odd-shaped instrument, a short necked model, or a cheap throw-away that produces poor sound. Wouldn't it be great if you could strap a full-sized Fender to your back, but still be able to meet commercial airline carry on luggage size restrictions? The iconic guitar maker has released two travel dreadnoughts with a Voyage-Air hinge mechanism that allows the instruments to fold in half. Read More
Back in January, the beautifully minimalist Gittler Guitar made its public debut at the Winter NAMM show in Anaheim, CA. Little more than a long rod topped by 31 rounded frets with built-in electronics, the all-titanium guitar has now launched on Kickstarter ahead of its first production run in December. Read More
Steen launches Ergonomic Guitar line
Guitars like Gibson's iconic Flying V, just about any BC Rich model, or Bob Wiley's Ministar travel guitars may well stand out in any crowd, but they're not exactly built for comfort. Guitar maker Shawn Steen has spent the last two years tweaking and testing an instrument designed to comfortably fit the shape of a player's body, while looking good and sounding great. The final adjustments have been made, all the choice components selected, and the first show models created. Now it's launch time for the new line of hand-made ergonomic guitars. Read More
Moog unleashes Minifooger analog effects pedals
Moog Music has announced a new range of versatile and expressive analog effects stomps for electric guitar and bass. Each of the five affordable and compact Minifoogers features an expression pedal input that can be CV-controlled (just like an old Moog synth), and gives the player control of one predetermined parameter for the chosen unit, expanding the stomp's sound beyond what's available via the knobs up top.

Demeter creates the Mighty Minnie pedal board amp
There are times when packing a full rig for a small venue tour is just not practical and sacrifices have to be made. When the topic of being forced to use awful-sounding back line amp rentals came up in a conversation between slide guitar master Sonny Landreth and veteran amp maker James Demeter, an idea for an amp small enough to mount on a pedal board began to take shape in the latter's mind. The Mighty Minnie hybrid single channel guitar amp that resulted is now being made available through Demeter's Custom Shop. Read More

The fall colours are falling and the days are getting crisper. Now that cottage season is over, it's time to shut it down for another year. Preparing your cottage for its long winter's nap need not be a major chore, but there are some crucial steps you should take to avoid any surprises while you're away. Here are 13 simple steps to put your cottage to bed for winter.
1 Shut off the water supply, drain the pipes and hot water tank, and leave taps open to allow them to "breathe". Toilets should be turned off and flushed, then any remaining water bailed out. Alternatively, pour antifreeze into the bowl to protect the lines; be sure to use RV (pink) antifreeze or another environmentally friendly type.
2 Unplug all electrical appliances and electronic devices. Many modern electric and electronic devices continue to draw a small amount of power even when turned off; over a winter, it can add up to an expense you don't need.
3 Turn off baseboard electric heaters. They are a leading cause of cottage fires. Or if the cottage has central heating, turn it down or off.
4 Clean out the fireplace and close the damper flue.
5 Thoroughly clean the kitchen and remove any food. During the winter, rodents and even bears can sniff it out, causing a lot of damage.
6 If you can, remove valuables, such as TVs and stereos, and take them down to the city. If any valuable items will be left at the cottage, make sure windows are covered so that thieves can't see in and be tempted.
7 Any items that are normally left outside, such as a gas barbecue, should be removed and stored offsite or in a secure location onsite, such as a locked garage or basement.

Will Controversy Over Whales and Dolphins Threaten SeaWorld's Future?
Questions about how SeaWorld Parks and Entertainment treats dolphins and whales has placed it at the center of an intense controversy involving allegations of cruelty to animals – charges the company vehemently refutes. Columnist Gael O'Brien examines the debate and interviews Thomas I. White, an advocate for animal rights and a professor of business ethics.
Is Apple Really Serious About Sustainability?
Long criticized for its lack of commitment to sustainability—from supporting the dangerous mining of precious resources and exploiting factory workers to powering its data centers with energy derived from coal and not taking back products for recycling—Apple has really worked on turning things around over the past couple of years.
How Companies Can Manage Environmental Reputational Risk
Environmental issues, from headline-grabbing environmental catastrophes to protracted conflicts with governmental authorities, can impair a company's reputation. Such reputational issues can threaten a company's relationship with regulators, customers, employees, interest groups and the general public. Because it can take many years to repair a damaged environmental reputation, it is critical for any company to manage its environmental reputational risk.

Sustainability Progress: More 'Words' Than 'Action'

Nothing is more important for hot tub water quality than the filtration system. A dirty or worn-out filter will fail in its job of trapping contaminants and put an unnecessary strain on the spa pump(s).
Biofilm accumulates in the pipe work of all hot tubs and provides an ideal breading ground for bacteria and algae.
Use a plumbing cleaner at every water change.
These cleaners draw grit, leaves and over debris from the water and the bottom of the tub.
Most come with brushes and other time-saving cleaning aids.
Use a non-abrasive spa cleaning pad in conjunction with a low foaming hot tub surface cleaner to remove any oil and dirt build up around the waterline and to clean the spa after draining.
When constantly exposed to sunlight or mildew vinyl covers degrade quickly. Hot tub cover cleaners and protectors are the key to keeping your cover looking and performing like new.
All you need to keep your hot tub in tip top condition.
Why struggle when these tools could make life so much easier?
Made from hi-tech materials which absorb oil, scum and lotion residues, without soaking up the water itself. Scum absorbers float on the surface and soak up impurities without the use of chemicals or hazardous ingredients.
A submersible pump makes the job of emptying and cleaning your hot tub so much easier.
The tub will be empty in minutes!

Firing Off The Atomic Cannon 1953 (Rare HD Widescreen)
- Diginfo
- uploaded: Oct 19, 2013
- Hits: 208
Outstanding color footage of the only time the M-65 280mm Atomic Cannon was ever fired with it's nuclear warhead. With the deployment in the 1950s of atomic weapons on both sides of the Cold War, all three branches (Army, Navy, Air Force) of the military sought to justify fielding nuclear weapons within their individual arsenals. For the Army, prior to the refinement of tactical nuclear missiles, that meant developing an atomic artillery piece. This weapon was the M-65 280mm Motorized Heavy Gun, also known as the Atomic May 25, 1953, at 8:30 am, as the tenth of a series of eleven nuclear test firings during Operation UPSHOT-KNOTHOLE, T-131 number 9 fired a W-9 15 kiloton warhead (shot GRABLE) a distance of seven miles. The device detonated at an altitude of 524 feet above the target in Area 5 (known as "Frenchman Flat") on the Nevada Proving Ground. This was the only nuclear firing of the M-65.

Recently Starbucks announced it would expand its offerings and start selling alcoholic drinks in the evening in thousands of its stores. The move was touted by chief executive Howard Schultz as a strategy for the company to grow profits by increasing the average sale per customer.
Schultz's shareholders no doubt exchanged a mental fist-bump. But the celebration may be short-lived once they realize that they are in danger of turning away a key coffee-consuming segment: more than 23 million Americans living in recovery from substance-use disorders.
Starbucks spokeswoman Lisa Passe called it "a natural progression for Starbucks as we seek to create a new occasion for customers to gather, relax and connect with each other in the evenings." What Passe did not mention was why a lot of customers already gather, relax and connect at Starbucks — helping to make it the largest coffee chain in the world.
Every day, people in recovery meet up in Starbucks cafes to support one another, to talk to their 12-step sponsors and, most of all, to be welcomed in one of the few lively, popular, alcohol-free gathering places in their community.
Starbucks should pay special attention to them.
One of the most useful concepts in business is the Pareto principle, or what is commonly known as the 80/20 rule. This widely adopted marketing principle — that 20 percent of input causes 80 percent of the result — suggests that 80 percent of all coffee consumed at Starbucks is derived from just 20 percent of their consumer base.
And who might be part of that base? The October 2008 issue of the journal Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research found that 88.5 percent of those studied who were in recovery from alcoholism drank coffee. Thirty-three percent of those coffee drinkers drank more than four cups a day.
That means millions of recovering people drink coffee, and a third of them drink a lot of it.
If you closed your eyes and pictured a 12-step meeting room, you'd probably picture a coffee urn and plastic foam cups stacked next to it. And you'd be right. After a typical meeting, you'd see groups of people leaving together to head for the local Starbucks.
In the short run, Schultz may be adding a new set of customers who bring in a $20-plus sale once a week. But if the evening culture of the cafes turns into a hybrid bar scene, Starbucks will be at serious risk of forcing out a devoted set of high-volume existing customers.
