Engineering, Machinery and Components This labor intensive industry creates parts and end products that apply mechanical force to perform work. The assembly operations for these end products are complex, which differentiates this industry from the fabrication industry. The establishments involved are engaged in designing, manufacturing and supplying industrial and engineering equipment. Engineering industries are trade dependent, both as a source of their inputs and as a market for their goods. The challenges they potentially face are:

Defence and security are vital preconditions for a nation's well being and economic growth. It follows then that a nation's armed forces must have the wherewithal to ensure the protection of national interests. Since independence, in furtherance of this aim, strategic defence production in India has been entrusted to the public sector. The first industrial policy outlinedin the Industry Policy Resolution of 1948 highlighted this aspect. In order to create indigenous capability, Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) was formed in 1958 and some Defence Public Sector Undertakings (DPSUs) were raised in early 50s. The process of modernisation of India's armed forces started in early 70s with acquisition of a vast quantum of military hardware from foreign countries. Capacity building continued apace but despite the fact that India now has 52 DRDO laboratories, 40 ordnance factories and 8 DPSUs, she is far from achieving the goal of self-reliance which was envisioned in early 50s.This obviously points to serious lacunae in the path tread by the country in achieving self-reliance in defence capability over the last six decades.
Though the liberalisation process commenced in India in 1991, the defence sector was insulated from the process. It was opened to private industry just a decade back with the initiation of thefirst Defence Procurement Policy (DPP) in 2002. The hope was that India's defence industry would greatly benefit from the entry of private players. However, this hope stands belied with private industry being unable to muster the confidence to undertake defence production. There is obviously a mismatch between government intentions and the perception of government policies by Indian industry. Thereis a need to encourage the participation of private players in the defence sector and to that extent the latter must be given equal opportunities with the public sector. This would lead to augmentation of India's indigenous defence production capability as well as creating large employment opportunities in thecountry.
Offsets are one of the means to enable both the public and private sector to absorb technologies and help enhance defence production capabilities. It is a sort of counter trade wherein a foreign supplier undertakes specified programs with a view to compensate or assist the buyer in its procurement expenditure and generate benefits for the economy of the buyer's country in the form of technology transfers. There is no universal offset policy applicable to all countries. Depending upon their requirements, individual countries frame their respective offset policies. The objectives of the offset policy should be based on a realistic assessment of the country's capability to absorb potential inputs. The Indian private sector has the capacity to absorb some of this technology and is keen to do so. It must be supported in this endeavour to enable Indian industry to aspire to be a part of the global supply chain.
India's military expenditure is among the highest in the world. Every year a significant amount of the defence budget is used for acquisition of military equipment in the form of imports. Even after two decades of liberalisation, indigenous development by DRDO and emphasis on indigenous production has not yielded desired results of reducing dependence on imports. The application of offsets against acquisitions in defence is a progressive step to make India self-reliant. The offset policy was first articulated in the DPP in the year 2005 with the aim of establishing the defence industrial base in India. The first offsets contract was signed in 2007. Since the initiation of first defence offset policy, there have been suggestions from the industry for further refinements. As a result, the changes have been made in the defence offset policy on a regular basis. The latest defence offset policy of 2012 which is learnt to be under finalisation is yet to be officially declared.
In May 2012, Defence Minister A. K.Antony stated in Parliament that 17 offset contracts have been signed so far with a value of about USD 4.279 billion. However, most of these offset projects are still under implementation and the real situation will emerge later. Perhaps the time is now ripe to take an audit from the concerned industrial houses to determine if any benefits have accrued from the offset policy. If theo ffsets are utilised effectively, or in real perspective, Indian defence industry will have significant amount of business opportunities in the form of joint ventures, co-production, co-development and export of military hardware/software, thus helping the country in its quest to achieve self-reliance in defence production. However, Indian private industry is apprehensive of venturing into the defence sector because of huge risks involved. One of the options for Indian industry is to attract foreign investments. However, with a cap of 26 per cent being put on Foreign Direct Investments (FDIs) in defence industry, such investments are unlikely to meet with the requisite degree of success. There is a possibility that the upper limit of FDI in defence sector could be raised to 49 per cent in near future.The Ministry of Defence's policy formulations point towards strategic self-reliance as a key result area for the defence sector in the years to come. But lack of transparency and accountability, bureaucratic delays etc. will have to be overcome if self-reliance is to be realised in an appropriate time frame. The Indian private sector needs to move towards manufacturing of components, sub-assemblies, larger assemblies and integration of defence solutions. The upgrade of the existing equipment, maintenance, repair, overhaul, training and simulation are other areas where the Indian private industry can gain access quickly.
As of now, the offset policy is in the nascent stage and it may take some time to mature. There are gaps in the formulation, monitoring, accounting and execution of offset contracts. While teething problems are a part of the process, there is a need to tackle them urgently and with great seriousness. Sincere efforts are required for planning, analysing, approving and implementation of offset projects. Currently, there isa skeleton organisation which has been made responsible to take care of offset projects worth billions of dollars. This must be changed and a dedicated organisation set up to manage all issues related to offsets. With emphasis on military modernisation, the offsets figure will zoom north with India poised to sign several mega defence deals in the coming years. Indian industry should make use of these opportunities by absorbing the critical technologies and becoming a partner in the defence production process.

Hi All,
As I promised in an earlier post I contacted the club concerning the complaints, questions and suggestions that no one seems to have been able to get an answer to. I had a 30 - 40 minute conversation with the club today and this is what I found out. The questions and answers are posted below.
Q: There has been a real problem with members not receiving testing products, and the feeling is, once you become a life member, you don't get any products to test. The feeling is, the product testing "promise" is a scam to solicit members and get dues. What's the deal?
A: Product testing is a program where the members are given an opportunity to assist product manufacturers with field testing various products to get feed back on those products. Members must fill out a product test profile to be considered for the program. Once the member gets a product to test, and they complete the testing feedback form, they must fill out a new product test profile. However, if a member receives a product to test, and they do not submit their test report, they are removed from the product test program perminently, regardless if they submit another profile or not. - Therefore, when you receive a product, FILL OUT THE TEST REPORT and SUBMIT IT.
Q: There is an issue concerning the Member's Store. It only contains the Item of the Week, and nothing else. Why doesn't the Member Store contain items that are specific to the club, like the books, videos, patches, decals, clothing items and other specials? Afterall, why should a member have to shop e-bay or other websites to obtain what is supposed to be "MEMBERS ONLY" type products?
A: Currently there is a major turn over in manufacturers supplying goods to the club. The Information Technology folks are working on revamping the Members Store to include these items so members can purchase club merchandise from the website. They estimate that around the first part of December, this project should be complete and the new member's store posted and available.
Q: I have posted a few questions to the Ask the Editors section of the website, and in talking to other members, and seeing the various forum discussions, the editors and club higher ups don't ever answer. What's the story?
A: The editors are supposed to supply answers to questions within 48 hours after the question is posted. We will have to work harder to make sure this is happening. It is difficult, given the number of other issues with the website to actually be able to do this. We prioritize the issues with log in problems being at the top of the list, then work our way down. Members that have pressing questions can call member services to get answers faster.
SUGGESTION: I posed this suggestion to the club. Why not find a few members and give them moderator access to the website, and provide them with phone numbers to various departments within the club, so they can contact the "horse's mouth" to get the answers so they can keep the members informed. This would help take the work load off the member services, provide the members with more immediate feedback, and help the members FEEL they mean something to the club, and not just a source of revenue. Moderators would involve the members in productive methods of conflict resolution, alleviate some complaints, and get members involved in feeling more in tune with the club. RESPONSE: This is an excellent suggestion and one that we will look at!
Q: Once you pay your life membership fee, it's like the club forgets about you. Why is that?
A: All members are important to the club. No member should ever feel so disgruntled that they would loose interest in the club. We will make a more concerted effort to address some of these issues involving the morale of the members.
Q: Back to product testing. It seems like the members only get silly nit-noid items to test. For example, hand warmers in July, fishing line, hooks, and such. I understand not every member will be able to test a Lund boat, or a Fish Finder, or even a high end rod and reel combo, however, I do see these types of items have been tested. How are the members selected to test these "high value" items?
A: The product testing list is a tier type system. The more products a member tests, and more importantly, completes the test report in a timely fashion, the faster the member and the more likely the member will be selected to test items that are more substantial. Keep in mind, the test profiles are first come, first served basis, but with the higher end test products, more scrutiny is given in determining how these products will be sent out. MY TAKE: When you get a product to test, do the report, send it in, fill out a new profile, and be patient.
Q: It doesn't seem like anyone knows who the club president is, or any of the officers of the club. You never hear anything about them or even know who they are. For all that matter, how do members of the club even get involved in decision making type positions?
A: This is something that we will address.
SUGGESTION: Can't the website contain a "directory of officers" with a bio of some sort so the members will know who the leadership is, and perhaps an occasional "Hi how are you" type thing from the president of the club? RESPONSE: This is another excellent suggestion and something certainly worth considering!
Q: Concerning unsolicited mailings from the club. I spoke with a member who received a calander and he didn't pay particular attention to the letter that came with it. A few weeks later, he received a "nasty gram" saying pay us for the calendar. What is the deal with mailing stuff to the members then demanding payment for the item when the member didn't request the item be sent in the first place?
A: Any item sent to a member that is like a book, video, calander, or what ever, comes with return address label and postage. The member can just send the item back at no cost to them. If the member does not want to recieve these types of materials from the club, they can either call member services, who will process that request, or they can write to the club and ask that they do not receive these things. We do not want the members to feel that they must buy things from the club or feel obliged to do so. SUGGESITON: If these items were available to be sold in the Member Store, the member could just order the items directly from the club, and order specifically what they wanted. Not only would this alleviate the member from feeling obliged to buy the item, or inconvenienced in shipping the item back, but it would save the club money in postage and complaints from the members who receive such items. Not to mention, occassionally mailmen are not infallable, they do misdeliver items to wrong addresses, things get lost in the mail, then the member ends up possibly getting a bill for goods they never received. It has the potential of creating headaches and ill feelings, not only on the business side of the club, but more importantly, for the member. RESPONSE: This is something that can certainly be addressed and something definitely worth considering! Members that are interested in obtaining books and videos specifically, we do have a list of all the titles available that can be obtained by calling member services. We are more than happy to send the member that list so they can complete their libraries and video collections.
Q: One last question concerning member gifts, magazine subscriptions and stuff like that. Why does it seem to take so long to get this stuff once you pay your dues? Personally, I have not yet received any of these items and I am curious as to when I can expect my items.
A: From the time your membership is processed, and depending on the availability of the item, it takes 7 to 21 business days to process the payment and ship the item out to the member. If you have not received your membership items or your magazine within this time frame, contact member services and we can get a status on your items. If necessary, we can reorder the items and ship them out to the member. We maintain tracking numbers on these things and can always get a status of a shipment or subscription. We can even provide the member with the postal tracking number so they can track the item as well.
I know this doesn't address everything with the concerns of the members. I did STRONGLY SUGGEST the club leadership become more involved with the members through the website. At the very least, they should be viewing the forums and responding as appropriate, meaning answer questions, provide guidance, and take the time to get to know their members, their needs, wants and desires. I also told them that no one wants to belong to a club just for the sake of belonging to a club. People join clubs for interaction, to feel like they matter and mean something. People don't pay dues for the sake of spending money. Members should matter, and they should be the priority...
Time will tell if the discussion with the club meant anything, or if it was a waste of my morning. But for the members, I have done my part in voicing the concerns, complaints, and suggestions, as I promised to do. The rest is up to them.
Take care friends...
I've been around here a long time, and I've seen many positive improvements to the club. Many of them have been from suggestions from members like theolan. As the club has grown, those in charge have adjusted things accordingly. Never as fast as the members demand and sometimes maybe not as fast as they should have, but things are much better than they were. So ask yourself: Is your glass half full? Or is your glass half empty? Or is your glass just too big? To paraphrase J.F.K.: Ask not what your club can do for you, ask what you can do for your club.
Thanks for helping us all out theolan.
Probably BigBarry. I suspected as much when I called them. I figured if I voiced the questions and complaints that I have seen on the forums and what I received through e-mails and private messages and make some suggestions as a way to initiate some sort of constructive dialog with the club, at least if I got blown off, I would have a basis from which to have a legitimate gripe. I also figured by posting some of the questions I asked, and the answers they provided, the members would also see that someone did address some of the issues with the club again, so if they fail to do anything about it, the members could make up their minds as to the sincerity of this club, based on its supposed charter, as to whether or not the NAFC is in fact just a money racket or not. In all fairness, as a result of these forums which is a by-product of club membership, I have met (at least on line) alot of good people. A lot of knowledgeable people who do have sound advice to offer, and whose opinions can be valued. As to whether or not I decide to renew my membership when it comes due, I am not sure at this stage, but as it stands right now, a life membership is not in the making. I am taking a wait and see stance, and to me after 21 yrs of military service, I know lip service when I hear it, and I know what a scripted "company line" is as well. The person I spoke with on the phone did admit she personally does not look at the website, and I would suspect that is a pretty prevailant attribute of the club hierarchy as well. But let's at least give them a chance to address the issues as they said they would.
The one thing that I did find really interesting and I guess should be explained a bit more is the product testing policy. As it was explained to me, especially with some of the products not being "season appropriate" is that the manufacturer will start a product line and want to get feed back. Now this product line may be a product that is due to be for sale in say October/November, but they need the feedback so they can fine tune the product prior to general release. This would mean inclimate gear would be tested in May - July. The other thing which is not posted anywhere is the penalty of not filling out the testing report, whereas, you will be ineligible from future product testing. This goes back to people wanting something for nothing and using the product testing program as a means to obtain a freebie and abuse the system. So as harsh as it sounds, it makes perfect sense, especially if a company is good enough to send you something, ask you to test it and report your findings back to them, and you as the product tester blow them off. Think of product testing as a R&D type program and consider how much money the manufacturer invests in putting together a product and is basically held up because someone isn't willing to fill out a piece of paper. The tier system they use also makes sense to me as well. I mean given the fact that someone can't even be bothered to fill out a product report on rubber worms why would you send them a fish finder. It's an earned trust thing. Show them you can test the products properly and in a timely fashion, and you earn the trust to test bigger and better things. I am not taking sides, but it does make perfect sense.
Laz, I really appreciate your kind words. But I do understand the frustration of the annual members and the life members particularly. It is a lack of communication and a lack of involvement that fosters that frustration. What it takes is the willingness to work with the club to make things better. It is afterall the member's club and it takes involvement to make improvements. Identify the problem, provide a plausible solution, and present it to the powers that be. You have done your part and they can't say all people do is bellyache. Hopefully, I have given them some food for thought, and maybe they will take a more active role in improving the moral of the members. Any day on the water or in the woods is solitude itself.
Theolan, you have done an admirable job in your communication with club higherups. I commend you for your efforts on behalf or all N.A.F.C. members. As I have stated before in other postings, I have only been a member for one year and 10 months. In that time I have received for testing two separate packages of soft plastic baits and a balsa crankbait by Alex Lures. I followed the instructions included with those products each time, filling out the product testing report and returning it afterwards, and re-registering to receive another test product. As I stated before, granted these are small low dollar products, but they were free for only a small expendature of my time to test the product, fill out the report and mail it, and re-register as a tester. I can only speak for myself on this matter but following the rules on my part has been rewarded by my receiving another product to test within six months time. When I joined N.A.F.C. I didn't do so to receive free merchandise. I did so to receive North American Fisherman magazine and have access to this website for further information and advise from fellow fisherpersons ( p c term ? ). Any freebees that came along with membership I consider icing on the cake. I have also received the hooks and swivels others have mentioned in various posts , and free bonuses of Berkley Trilene XL fishing line in 6#, 8#, and 10# test ratings for timely payments for fishing library books that I have purchased. Again, small items all but all for free. I consider all these things put together to be a nice little thank you from N.A.F.C. for the short time I have been a member. So all things considered I'm very satisfied with my membership. I must agree that I would like to be able to purchase specific items that I desire from a member store and would like to see that implemented ASAP, and also response from the editors on the "ask the editors" thread, and knowing the identities of the club president and officers should be public record for all membership. Thanks again for your taking initiative to help all N.A.F.C.members. Happy fishing.
Hi theolan, please check out the "ask the editors" thread , the post from sarahn under the "Not very satisfied "and my response to her . Do you have anything to add or any more advise ? A rather angry camper there, however I think sarahn did not correspond in a timely or thorough manner concerning stated problems. Just my take on the situation. Happy fishing.
Yes sir,
This was one of the items I addressed with the club. The unsolicited products being sent to the members. I posed the suggestion to the club as to how best to alleviate this kind of ill feeling. It does seem ironic that I addressed the top 8 gripes and questions I found scrolling through the threads. And here is yet another example of a member who is understandably upset, irritated, and frustrated with something that could easily be avoided from the club hierarchy. My mailman, god love him, seems to just flop letters in who ever's mailbox he feels like. Three times a week at least, I end up delivering mail from my box to other peoples houses in the neighborhood. These are the kinds of things that can happen. Now what if sarahn never received the items he/she was billed for. How can they ever prove/disprove they received it or not. Something that is totally avoidable by simply having an on-line store and letting the members buy what they want, when they want it and doing away with unsolicited product mailings... Newsletters, correspondence, and magazines are one thing, this is quite another. Not to mention the waste of money involved in postage.
hi Theolan, the unsolicited mailings of books ,videos, and calanders don't bother me and I have enjoyed the books and videos that I have accepted. However I think I would prefer to shop at a members store fo the items I prefer rather than the "surprise package" that I may not be interested in . I have returned a few books and videos that were of little interest to me such as fish species we do not have here in Arizona or species that I personally do not target. I have also returned cook books as I am strictly a catch and release fisherman. But that is just me. I know others do not wish to be targeted with unsolicited mailings. Again, the online store would aleviate these complaints from disgruntled members. Happy fishing.
Hi Theolan. To answer your question first, I have returned 3 books and kept 12. I have also kept 4 DVD's and returned 1. The cost of return postage runs from $1.86 to $2.50 depending on the weight because these items go by USPS media class fees. And again these monies could bee saved by the operation of a members only store online that would enable members to purchase only the items they desire and eliminate shipping costs of unwanted items. Now about your ideas for improving the club. My friend , you should be in charge of this organization or at least a member of the advisory board. You have the insight and inovative ideas to vastly improve N.A.F.C. I have been a member of N.R.A. and A.M.A. for many years and both of those organizations operate on the principals and formulas you have suggested for N.A.F.C. , and very successufully I might add. I nominate you for president of N.A.F.C. , now I need a second from the floor. Happy fishing.
This thread is very nicely done. Many of the responses you received I have heard before. That being said, I have noticed slight improvements. But one item stands out to me; product testing response. I became a life member in Sept. of 2005 and a short time later I received my first testing sample. I complete the product testing form and profile that was included, and sent it in. My next testing came shortly after this web site crashed. There was no test report to fill out, just a note to let me know I can now file my results on the web site. Well, I got to tell ya, I still have yet to find where this is! And now I find out I will loose this privledge because I didn't send one in. I didn't join for this feature, as nice as it is, but I got ta tell ya, one side of this club has no idea what the other is or isn't doing!
Next time you call the club, ask if they have a full time web master. I suspect not. There are several folks that do this type of work in their spare time or professionally and they all say the same thing...What's going on here?
Again, thank you for your time and effort. I am still waiting for NEW answers!
Yes sir, I can most certainly ask that question. What I was lead to believe is that the club has an Information Technology section that is responsible for the website. I would think this is most likely the answer, since the gal I spoke to said the IT folks were working on revamping the member store portion of the website. And as far as the ask the editors area of the forums, I don't believe the editors are the ones that actually post anything, as when I asked about that specifically, I was told their people were prioritizing issues with the website, and log in issues were at the top of the priority. It would therefore suggest to me that the IT folks are the ones that do the responses. Also, if you notice in many of the forums, you will see that Internal Administrator tag as a topic starter. This, as I am sure you know, is a server admin person, again most likely from the IT department. In regards to your not receiving the product test feedback report, it would be more prudent and proper for you to contact the club, identify the fact that you did not receive the form and that you desire to provide the feeback on the product they sent, so you do not loose that membership benefit. I have to admit, I have read the same responses in other posts from other members who have called the club. The responses very well may be a company line, or lip service as I call it, but I think eventually they may get the message and actually do what it is they claim with their responses.
I am not opposed to being the thorn in their side, but I would like to see this club become better than what it is at the present. I would really love to see the members morale improve. And I think if the club would be a bit more transparent in their business practices, the members might actually be more patient with the hierarchy. I do find it troubling that they do not even make the members aware that they loose the product testing benefit if they fail to complete the report. And what is especially picant, is the fact that after they send you an unsolicited item, you don't pay for it, then they send you a threatening letter about paying for the item, and after you give in and send them the money, they turn around and send you a spool of fishin line for making prompt payment. Quite honestly, I don't get it...
Anyhow I did suggest they add a link for complaints and feedback, so members could directly correspond with member services via the website. It is a pointless suggestion, as it is apparent, and admittedly so by the gal I spoke to, that they do not even look at the website.
I have made numerous comments suggesting easier and more cost effective ways of doing things. I have made them in writing as well as verbal suggestions when I had an NAFC employee on the phone. They covered the majority of everything you very eloquently stated Theolan.
As much as I hate to say it, after all your gallant efforts Theolan, and after reading previous concerns of members from over the past 12 - 18 months, there appears to be a corporate letter NAFC members go by as far as responses to the concerns. On the surface it sounds like alot of lip service.
For any NAFC employee or Board Member reading this, I want NAFC to be successful, I am not here to bash the organization. But I should be spending this time reading about, and responding to fishing related content, not post after post after post of bickering and bantering over the way the company is conducting business.
Here's one of the most recent e-mails I sent to them about a month ago.
"Good Morning,
I had a quick question. Are you going to allow members to pay their dues, as well as pay for any books they decide to keep through an online payment program? I would think the cost of sending out invoices, return envelopes, not to mention the processing costs associated with it would, be cost prohibitive. In todays world, paying online is a fast, convenient and cost effective method of doing business.
Allow your members the option of receiving their bills as normal through the mail, or click the "box" to receive bills via e-mail that can be paid online. Give a 2% discount ( or some appropriate % ) to users who pay online in a timely fashion. Saves you the processing costs, mailing costs, as well as more than likely will speed up your average receivables payments by as many as 5 – 8 days.
Allow your members to see what the upcoming books and DVD's are and tell you ahead of time if they wish to receive said book or DVD. HUGE costs savings in shipping and return costs, and labor costs of re-stocking the items to the shelves. Not to mention collection costs from pursuing members that have no intent of keeping that particular selection.
Just food for thought.

Member # xxxxxxxx (my e-mail did have my member number included by the way)
Agreed, there is a lot of unhappy people in the club, and I really can't disagree with the agitation and frustration. I, myself, am more than a bit irked after my phone call with them this afternoon. A simple request concerning information of forming a chapter for my home state, and I get the response, "Did you check the website," to wit my response was the website is sheet. And if there was information about a chapter, I wouldn't be calling. Then, god love em, "there is a link to ask questions like this to the editors." Again, my response, well I have sent 6 e-mails in the past 2-3 months and I haven't heard back from anyone, therefore, I am calling. Finally, I speak to a supervisor, after having a conversation with a person on the phone, that quite honestly, my 3 yr old could provide better answers, and I get the same song and dance. In the end, I am told send the request in writing to our corporate office. Now it would seem to me, after I explained, I am trying to start a chapter of NAFC here in Montana, in an effort to recruit more members, thus bringing more revenue to this club, that they would make an effort of some sort, but no, of course not. So truly, I have no misconceptions about the real motivational factor for this club, as it is more than apparent, the members are just seen as irrelevant, when I am sure I interupted the customer service gal's game of solitaire, and most likely interrupted the supervisor's nap.
So what comes next folks? I guess it is us and them, and as far as I am concerned, they will not make another dime from me.
It`s a shame the NAFC has turned into this. Theo, a little over a year ago the folks here (old site) would have given the shirt off their back to support the NAFC. How low it has gone in such a short time has been sad to watch.

The latest development in an effort to bring IndyCar racing back to the streets of Detroit on Belle Isle Park took place Tuesday morning.
In a report by The Detroit News, Detroit's City Council approved a request from racing officials for the event, which is targeting the June 1-3, 2012 weekend.
Roger Penske has been determined to bring the event back, and this marks the next step in the process. Detroit Grand Prix Association spokesman Bud Denker told the News sponsorship will dictate whether the event is officially confirmed, and talks are ongoing to determine what that title sponsor will be.
Detroit last hosted an IndyCar race in 2007 and 2008, and from 1992 through 2001 before that.

The loss of dozens of elite American troops to a Taliban rocket-propelled grenade is a window on the war to come — focused increasingly on the type of special operations the troops were pursuing when their helicopter crashed.
The U.S. military released new details Monday about the crash in the Tangi Valley, a dangerous area of Wardak province on the doorstep of the Afghan capital. The 30 U.S. troops, seven Afghan commandos and an Afghan interpreter who died were taking part in one of thousands of nighttime operations being conducted annually across the nation.
The sheer number of these missions is evidence that progress in the nearly decade-long war depends more on efforts to kill or capture insurgents than the overarching strategy of building support for the Afghan government at grassroots levels. And these missions will take on relatively more importance as troop levels decline.
Saturday's crash of the CH-47 Chinook helicopter was deadliest single loss for U.S. forces in the war and raised anew questions in the United States about why U.S. troops are still fighting the unpopular conflict.
U.S. leaders vowed on Monday not to let the loss rewrite the war strategy.

Renzo Rivera Bolaños from Peru: "An internship that matters"
As you soon will learn in your student life, doing an internship is a very important part of your study. It is your opportunity to prove what you can do and to gain experience in the real world. Plus, it is always a nice addition to your resume. However, all that makes it very hard to find the right internship for you. Where do you look? And just as important: what are you actually looking for? I faced this situation a few months ago, just as the rest...

-- John right now new reaction to the capture of an alleged CIA agent accused of spying.
In Russia Ryan fogle was arrested this week in Moscow.
The US embassy official is accused of trying to recruit a Russian intelligence agent.
The Russians are releasing video -- -- remember -- showing he had to wigs and makeup kit.
Accomplice in a map of Moscow now in New York Post editor in your post editorial.
-- -- -- -- Here he writes that there is a message Peter you're saying that behind -- goes bad -- space hairspray.
Spy bus what is that message that Moscow is trying to send Peter.
Well the fact is that Moscow is very unhappy with our intelligence activities there.
And this I think was a an -- an opportunity for them to try to embarrass -- CIA.
This was I think there was a lot of theatrics involved here.
You know -- -- thing missing was some Groucho Marx glasses you know these terrible way exist sunglasses -- -- this I mean who uses a compass anymore -- it.
That's -- -- is aren't important but I mean.
Who uses those anymore so there were there are saying they threw somebody out in December another is suppose it CIA agent in December there was no fanfare.
They they I guess we continue to try to recruit Russian intelligence officers and the -- and the Russians said that's enough.
So what they did is they made it they had TV cameras there on a stake out.
You know the whole thing was shown on on television so that that they they were sending a message to the CIA.
We're not happy with what you're doing here in Moscow we warned you once now where we're now we're going to this level knock it off.
OK couple things -- so you're saying that.
The the alleged CIA spy even if he -- get caught he made it have had those the crazy winds and step in his possession that they they kind of threw that in to make fun of him number one.
Yeah that's a possibility -- there's even a blog out there that said that that that blonde wig that he was shown with may have come from the KGB museum.
Which and that it was from an arrest of another American back in the 1980s.
I mean it's a terrible wig.
Yeah I saw it I mean that's that's a possibility.
It's not is not quite clear but like I said they I think they tried to make this CIA look like buffoon here yeah and it's unfortunate.
It is unfortunate and and he looks so Russia's.
They're like knock it off but isn't it bad that pot calling the kettle black member and attack inching up bust a couple years but it.
-- that sexy in the towel Russian spy.
Right exactly I mean the Russians are here in in the United States especially in the Washington area -- Cold War levels.
We had Anna Chapman a few years ago don't forget Aldrich Ames -- back at the CIA Robert Hansen at the FBI I mean spying happens and so -- counter spying.
And it but the important thing here is is that.
We we may be very concerned about we're not getting -- straight information we need on what's going on in places like the caucuses.
Would -- -- on Chechnya which is related to the Boston bombing.
So you know the reason we're recruiting these people is that the Russians may not be telling us what we need to know.
For our own security so we have to go around the official channels to try to get somebody to tell us this important information so.
I think it's that you did the our intelligence agencies are probably doing what they need to do.
To try to keep us safe so Bravo for them -- Look for them and indeed the spy games continues -- Peter.
Before let's go -- -- of you get answered is what happens if you are CIA operative.
Or your spy with the FBI and you get busted what happens you get put back in a desk job or do you sort of reinvent yourself and go back out there and to cover -- really what would happen.
-- -- he won't be usual -- like I said in the in the column in the New York Post yesterday he was caught in food drive day delay it till before being declared persona non Grata.
He won't be able to come back to rush up certainly put would put a dent in your in your career.
Not the sort of thing that you wanted you want to happen so it's it's unfortunate for if this person was a CIA officer it's unfortunate for.
His career.
Because they're doing important work Peter Brooks thank you very much thank you.

I got a friend with 2x DVD-R Burner, and he got cheap DVD-R Media as low 1$ each. Verbatim brand CD-R discs are same price here, so I'm confused.
I downloaded lots of isos from internet.
Should I burn them to dvd-r discs (with purple layer) or burn to verbatim and hear buzz noises from laser?
What do you recommend?

Previously, when Microsoft had been posed with complaints that its upcoming Surface tablets could undercut OEMs, the firm stated that it was merely setting the standard and that it would eventually step aside for OEM devices. However, evidence uncovered by TechRadar suggests that Microsoft has already begun work on the "next generation" of Surface devices.
Dozens of job postings on the firm's Careers site, spanning June to August, state that Microsoft is "currently building the next generation" of "devices that fully express the Windows vision."
To back-up suggestions that these job postings speak of portable devices and not large multi-touch displays are requests for a senior electrical engineer to work on "the design and qualification of AC-DC power suppliers and adapters," hardware typically used on smaller devices and those with batteries. If this isn't enough, then there are also postings for the research of "alternative power sources" - a market with little interest to mains-powered units.
If Microsoft is indeed planning on competing directly with other tablet devices in the long-term, it's not unreasonable to already be working on next-gen products, however, the real concern here will no-doubt be how this move will affect the OEM market and the adoption of Windows. We suggest OEMs will wait to see how Surface affects sales before commenting, however, this could be the perfect opportunity for Linux or a Google-branded OS to step into the field of battle.

I think of it as a film camera and sometimes change the shutter angle for an effect or when I shoot hi-speed but I never change the speed/angle for exposure reasons. Ok, almost never, if I need another stop on a lock off e.g interior with no movement, then I may go to 1/24, but not for when there is too much light which I believe is your question. For stills photographers this is not usually an issue as they are not dealing with strobing in motion. I'd advise staying at 180 degrees or 1/48 but that's just me.
The biggest effect of changing Shutter Speed apart from exposure is motion blur rendering - so for shows/movies it'd often be for artistic reasons. Eg Saving Private Ryan beach landing scene, dream sequences, flashbacks.
But I've seen it used for exposure control in things like tabletop food advert shots where motion is minimal, and the DOP dislikes using filters and wants Depth of Field to stay the same.
I use both, having come from a movie background and using shutter degrees all of my life, I recently started to also think in shutter speeds. This came into play recently shooting hi-speed and needing to verify that the shutter speed was correct for the shot if I wanted it to appear with "normal motion blur" at 24fps. Basically, if 24fps is 1/48th, then 48fps is 1/96th, 120fps is 1/240th, just double the fps number and you will get the "correct" shutter speed. In degrees, this would be 24fps is 180 degrees, 48 is 90, 96 is 45 and so on. I didn't have the epic reading degrees and couldn't find the menu item to change it in the heat of the moment and so had to think in shutter speeds. It's elementary math but very necessary.
Perhaps the language barrier made it sound like I was calling you an asshole. I was merely shocked that you lack an understanding of the basic fundamentals of photography. Rather than ask here piece by piece, I was suggesting that if you read a book, you would get a better grasp on how the basics all work together. If you don't have an understanding of shutter speed and exposure, nothing else is going to make sense.
Shane is there a way to MANUALLY dial in the shutter speed and shutter angle independently of each other? Or are they always tied together like this?
EX: lets say I'm shooting at 24fps at 1/48th (STANDARD), but I want a 90degree shutter angle instead of 180. Is that possible, or am I being crazy?
Beause the shuttle ANGLE is how much of the 360degree shutter is OPEN or CLOSED. And the SPEED is how many times said shutter rotates per sec right? Surely they can be seperated? Or am I missing something clutch and looking like a total idiot?
Thanks in advance.
"Shutter Speed" and "Shutter Angle" are different ways of describing the same thing - ie how long the camera is sampling light WITHIN each frame interval. So those specific terms are tied together.
With an electronic shutter, Shutter Speed can theoretically be any time value from zero (albeit pretty useless as that's just black!) to a maximum length of the frame interval, and Shutter Angle can be any angle from zero to 360degrees.
However, FRAME Speed and Shutter Angle are indeed independent, so you can be at 24fps and in theory have any Shutter Speed from zero to 1/24th sec, or any Shutter Angle from zero to 360degrees.
Nick, what Eric said. They are essentially the same thing, just different ways of expressing it. You are correct on the shutter angle but speed has traditionally referred to the amount of time that a stills camera opened its shutter- a different mechanism to the movie camera's rotating shutter. What it comes down to is the amount of time that light is reaching the film/sensor and the characteristic motion blur that results from this value.
As per your example, if you are shooting 24fps and want a 90 degrees shutter angle, then you dial in 90 degrees or switch to 1/96th sec, they are the same thing. No you cannot separate them.

I'm a part time writer and an avid gamer. I enjoy writing fanfics.
So now I have a twin sister... That's just great. There are several things I would have rather received. A pet Trixie being one of them (What? She's cute even though she's a show off.).
Anyway, back to my current predicament. Dawn Whistle is pretty cool, but I probably would be better off without a sister. Paradox's sister on the other hand (errr hoof), is pretty hot. If it wasn't so weird, I would consider going out with her. I personally think her white and blue mane looks better than black and red. She's also way more talkative than Chris, and we had a lengthy conversation going on by the time Chris came out of the kitchen.
"Jeez, I thought you drowned in your coffee for a second there," I said.
"No, I was just thinking," he replied, sitting down next to his "sister" and pulling out his notepad.
"Do you ever do anything besides draw?" asked Dawn Whistle, attempting to push her mane back from her eye (it didn't work).
"Yes, I write on occasion," Chris replied, his ear flicking slightly in annoyance.
"Hey Twilight, is there a shower in this place?" I asked, mostly to have something to do rather than just sit there.
"Yes, it's upstairs," she replied. I managed to find it without any problems, and there were clean towels and soap that I could use. It was basically the same as a human shower, but the shower head was lower due to ponies being smaller. I just shrugged and started it up. Unlike my shower, which was a pain in the ass to get to the right temperature, this shower easily adjusted to my needs. Anyway, once I was done I grabbed a towel and dried off. I was just wiping some water out of my eyes when I saw some folded up clothes sitting next to the seat. On top was something that looked like shades accompanied by a rope necklace with a little skull on it.
"I didn't think ponies would wear that kind of thing," I muttered, inspecting the clothes further. All it was was a vest and a belt with a blue buckle. Guessing they were for me, I put them on and headed downstairs.
"Like the new outfit?" asked Chris as I came into view. I looked up to see he was wearing almost the same outfit, except his clothes were lighter, his buckle was black, and he had a pair of goggles around his neck instead of a necklace.
"Yeah," I replied. "Who made it?"
"I did," he said, tapping his forehead with a hoof. As I took my place back at the table, Chris's "sister," Pandora, went upstairs, presumably to take a shower like I had done. Dawn Whistle was trying to balance a glass on each wing, and she was doing pretty well, at least until her wings started to shake.
"We don't need any broken glass in here," Chris said, walking around the table and grabbing the glasses before they could fall.
"I could've caught them," Dawn Whistle said defensively.
"Better to be safe than sorry," Chris replied, putting the glasses back in the kitchen (as Pinkie Pie would say, BOOOOOOORING). I faked a yawn as he came back in, which caused Dawn to giggle a little bit. Chris only glared at me through his shades before going back to his drawing. I leaned over to get a peek, and managed to make out DJ-Pon3 before he leaned away from me. Bored, I put my head on my hoof and looked around. When I couldn't stand it anymore, I got up and headed for the door.
"Where are you going?" Chris asked.
"I'm just going to look around town some more," I replied, opening the door and leaving before he could say anything else. It felt good to stretch my wings a bit, and I ended up flying up as high as I could and landing on a cloud. Pulling out my mp3 player, I looked through my songs until I found my favorite (Blue Stahli - Anti You). Setting it to repeat, I kicked back and closed my eyes. Unfortunately, I didn't get to enjoy it for very long. I felt someone poking me in the side, so I opened one of my eyes slightly, opening both eyes when I saw who it was.
"You're almost as hard to wake up as I am," Rainbow Dash said.
"Can I help you?" I asked (I would've been less rude, but I was napping! I don't like being interrupted when I'm napping.).
"Well you're napping on my favorite cloud," she replied.
"Aren't all the clouds the same?"
"Well yeah, but this is the one I nap on all the time," she said, then suddenly she looked at me straight in the eye. "Say, don't I know you from somewhere?"
"I'm the pony you crashed into yesterday," I said, refreshing her memory.
"Oh yeah, sorry about that. I'm Rainbow Dash."
"I'm Nightwish."
"I almost didn't recognize you with the vest and all that."
"Yeah, I just got them today."
"Who made them? It doesn't look like something Rarity would come up with." (Yeah, Rarity would probably think of it as a fashion disaster.)
"My friend Paradox made it. He's the other pony who was with me when you crashed into me."
"Well he did a pretty cool job with the little skull there," she said, pointing at my necklace.
"Yeah, I'll tell him you said that. He should appreciate it."
"Okay, now can you get off of my cloud?"
"You'll have to race me for it," I said with a smirk. (I'm sooo going to lose.)
"Bring it on," she replied with her own smirk. I got up and cracked my neck a couple times before getting ready. After Dash did the count down, I shot forward. For a couple seconds, I actually managed to stay ahead of her, but she caught up. I was smirking at her while she stared at me with a glare that, if looks could kill, would've made me have a heart attack in mid-air. She managed to pull in front of me, but I only smirked again as I came up behind her, using the slipstream to build up extra speed. Right when we were about to finish, I zoomed past her, but instead of winning, like I should've, I tied with her because she had the nerve to grab my leg when I went for the win.
"I would've had you if you hadn't grabbed my leg," I said, panting slightly.
"You never said I couldn't do anything like that," she replied, panting a little more than I was (This is because I used less energy while using her slipstream.).
"Well it was fun either way." I wiped the sweat off my forehead and rested on the cloud we had landed on.
"I gotta get going. I'm meeting up with Storm Shadow after he gets done with his patrol. I'll cya later Nightwish." I listened to absolutely none of that, because I had already plugged my music back in and was closing my eyes to take a nap. The keyword being was. I was very rudely interrupted by Dawn Whistle poking me in the side.
"What do you want?" I asked.
"That was awesome!" she replied. "I watched you two race. You did great big brother!"
"Thanks, now can I take a nap?"
"What? Oh, sure. I'll cya in a bit." She took off and flew away. I can't say to where because I shut my eyes the second she took off.

2009 marked the 100th anniversary of the Daniel Burnham and Edward Bennett Plan of Chicago, the visionary document that laid out the scheme for our lakefront, our forest preserves and a city that works for all its residents. 300 cultural, educational and civic partners joined together to provide an unprecedented series of exhibits, tours, lectures, books, concerts, pavilions and a documentary on Burnham's life.
As a founding sponsor of the centennial, the Trust wanted not only to celebrate the legacy of the Plan, but also to help our region look to its future. The broad range of programming brought the Plan to life and at the same time engaged area residents in regional planning. The stage was set for 2010 when the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP) will complete the first-ever comprehensive regional plan for northeastern Illinois.

Rural Property Watch has been developed to support the UK's agricultural and equestrian community with security and anti-theft measures.Rural Property Watch logo
The agricultural, equestrian and rural business communities are experiencing mounting pressures from increased crime, often as CCTV cameras and estate community patrols in the urban areas push criminals out of town, at a time when reduced policing support in rural areas is the norm.Very often rural properties and heavy plant have little or no security and lengthy response times from the authorities mean that delays in notifying police of an issue can be very costly. The ideal security solution will be one which notifies the landowner of intruders quickly and includes physical security measures which delay the intruders from achieving their objective.
A farmer's property is often spread over many acres with stock and equipment (often portable and easy to steal) located away from conurbations and off the main roads. Business premises, including equestrian centres and livery stables, maybe located on remote farm or rural business parks, face similar difficulties.
Facilities Resource Limited have used their experience in the security industry to develop systems and products specifically designed to provide security for farms, outbuildings, farmyards, livery stables, equestrian centres and agricultural vehicles and equipment.
This new service is known as Rural Property Watch and a dedicated website, which can be found at www.ruralpropertywatch.co.uk, has been launched in order to promote it.
John Hicks, Managing Director of Facilities Resource Limited, said: "Rural Property Watch supports the farming and equestrian community with CCTV installation and maintenance, vehicle and plant tracking systems, physical security measures, business and domestic alarms, self-powered wireless alarms for remote buildings, heavy plant anti-theft systems and farm outbuilding webcams".
"The ability for building managers to view their properties remotely from their home or office through our CCTV systems linked to their computer is a valuable service. But they do not have to sit by their computers for hours on end. We have the technology for the system to text them the moment anyone is detected on the premises".
"Providing good service means taking the time to listen. We will work with landowners every step of the way to make sure they receive the tailored services they need. Our business is client-oriented, and we maintain strict confidentiality." John added.
So, if you manage farm buildings, stables, livery stables, remote outbuildings or have responsibility for the security of heavy plant such as tractors, horseboxes, trailers, diggers and even quad bikes, then Rural Property Watch might well be able to provide you with cost effective solutions to your security needs.
But there's more! John says: "Facilities Resource Limited already offer a Property Watch service for domestic properties (www.property-watch.co.uk). Owners can alleviate the concerns of leaving their home unattended at any time by instructing us to keep a watchful eye on it when they are away. If you've ever worried about leaving your property unattended, then you can now relax! Whether you are at work, or away on business or holiday, you can arrange house sitting for your home, watering plants, feeding domestic animals and clearing post from the doormat whilst maintaining a physical presence on your property. All our staff are security cleared, are fully insured, fidelity bonded and hold a valid SIA licence. Rural Property Watch offer this service to farmers and stable owners!".

Do you remember those building toys called K'Nex? Well an engineering student at the University of Colorado (CU) named Andrew most certainly does. He actually managed to build a fully-functional pinball machine using only the tools available from the plastic building toy. Andrew spent over four months meticulously planning and building his K'Nex pinball machine that has functioning flippers and a plunger that is capable of launching the ball into the field of play. It also has a small gearbox that powers the two small chain lifts that help move the ball between the different features of the table. Read More
When it comes to martial arts madness, few games can claim the pedigree of the Tekken series. First arriving on the original PlayStation in the mid 90s, Tekken was seen as a genuine threat to Sega's then groundbreaking Virtua Fighter game. Several iterations later and Tekken has emerged as one of the most successful and long lasting beat 'em ups. Tekken Tag Tournament 2 has been released on the PS3 and Xbox 360 and we review the Xbox 360 version of the game. Read More
Resident Evil 6 is a game in the throes of an identity crisis. It's not quite willing to give up its survival horror roots and takes on more ideas than it can quite cope with. However, its strong action dynamic and moody, engaging creatures and environments, coupled with a very lengthy campaign, makes Capcom's latest an enjoyable installment in the series. Read More
Until Apple, or another tablet manufacturer looking to one-up Apple, introduces haptic technology to mobile devices, gaming on the iPad is an experience that somewhat fails to invigorate the senses. This leaves iPad gamers reliant on third-party peripherals to turn the experience from an uninteresting series of finger swipes into a more interactive activity. Duo Games hopes to achieve this aim with Duo Pinball, an app-supported pinball controller for the iPad. Read More
Razer moving forward with Project Fiona gaming tablet
The sky is the limit for tablet gaming. As technology advances, the devices can eventually combine the power of PC/console gaming with the portability of a PS Vita. More often, though, we see Angry Birds and Tiny Wings: great casual titles, but a far cry from Skyrim or Batman: Arkham City. Enter Razer, with its concept tablet dubbed Project Fiona. One of the hottest demo items at CES, the company just announced that it will be moving forward with the device. Read More
For five years, the annual BotPrize competition has been using a variant of the Turing Test known as a "Computer game bot Turing Test" to challenge programmers, researchers and hobbyists to create a bot for Unreal Tournament 2004 (UT2004) that is indistinguishable from a human player. Fittingly, in the centenary year of Turing's birth, not one but two teams have finally claimed the prize by achieving "humanness ratings" of over 50 percent. In comparison, human players received an average humanness rating of just over 40 percent. Read More
Remember the classic NES Zapper, as used in games like Duck Hunt?

Microsoft wants to turn your living room into a holodeck
Microsoft is beginning to emerge from what some have called "the missing decade" as a company eager to innovate and forge the future rather than be dragged along into it by its competitors. The Xbox brand is very much part of popular culture, and the Xbox 360 is expected to be superseded by a successor in 2013. But Microsoft is looking even further forward than that, with a recently revealed patent application suggesting the company wants to turn living rooms into something akin to the holodecks featured in Star Trek.

"Waiting On" Wednesday: Kiss Of Snow
I found this blog "Breaking the Spine" that spotlights upcoming releases that they're eagerly anticipating. A weekly event, held on a Wednesday, (hence the name.) This is a place where all bloggers can share what books they are eagerly anticipating too.
I really like the idea of this and because I have one that I just can't wait for I'm doing a "Waiting on Wednesday" post today.
Of cause, I can't wait for "Kiss of Snow" by Nalini Singh.
Here are the details:
Title: Kiss of Snow
Author: Nalini Singh
Series: Psy/Changelings
Genre: Paranormal Romance
Sensuality: HotBlurb: The hardcover debut of New York Times bestselling author Nalini Singh and her highly acclaimed Psy/Changeling novels.
Since the moment of her defection from the PsyNet and into the SnowDancer wolf pack, Sienna Lauren has had one weakness. Hawke. Alpha and dangerous, he compels her to madness.
Hawke is used to walking alone, having lost the woman who would've been his mate long ago. But Sienna fascinates the primal heart of him, even as he tells himself she is far too young to handle the wild fury of the wolf.
Then Sienna changes the rules-and suddenly, there is no more distance, only the most intimate of battles between two people who were never meant to meet. Yet as they strip away each other's secrets in a storm of raw emotion, they must also ready themselves for a far more vicious fight…
A deadly enemy is out to destroy SnowDancer, striking at everything they hold dear, but it is Sienna's darkest secret that may yet savage the pack that is her home-and the alpha who is its heartbeat.
This book is due to be released on the 31st May. The anticipation is killing me! But nearly there now.
So, what book are you waiting for?
Thanks for reading my romance book review blog.

A Telford woman has admitted leaving her three small children home alone while she ran errands. 26-year-old Shameia Speaks, who pleaded guilty to endangering the welfare of children, will be under court supervision for nearly five years. When police went to her North Fourth Street apartment in May of 2008 they saw the children, ages one, three and five, standing in front of a window and asking, "Where's mommy?" Court documents say the apartment was filthy and foul-smelling and one child was seen eating spoiled food out of the trash.

Ryan watches his Rangers reach World Series
Published Date
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Chalk up another win for Nolan Ryan, the biggest of his second career in baseball. The Hall of Fame fireballer-turned-owner watched from the front row as the Texas Rangers beat the New York Yankees 6-1 Friday night to advance to the World Series for the first time in franchise history. When Alex Rodriguez took a called third strike to end the AL championship series, Ryan pumped his fist, hugged his wife and clapped. He high-fived fans near him, then went to the middle of the diamond to join the fun. The club Ryan brought to prominence simply by signing with it in 1989 needed another couple of decades to get to the top. And the Ryan Express was still the one pushing them there.

Naomi Campbell Becomes A Yacht Menace
Look out, she's on the rampage again. This time, instead of taking her rage out on an assistant, Naomi Campbell has smashed up her boyfriend's new yacht. The Sun says that Campbell's temper was sparked over an argument with an Italian chef and his choice of antipasti and wine. She is reported to have broken furniture and china and glasses on the yacht while it was moored in the Tuscan Rivieria. The yacht belongs to her new boyfriend, Dubai-born Prince Badr Jafar. The damage could be over $55,000.

While we all wait for such questions to be answered, we thought, why not come up with a list of crazy ideas for songs our favorite Gleeks to sing. Hey, fiction can be just as fun as fact!
"The Way You Make Me Feel" (Michael Jackson)
For: Brittany and Santana
Whatever your thoughts are on the late king of pop, you can't dispute his great music! And when these two gals get together, some serious musical magic happens. While we liked their rendition of "Landslide" with Gwen Paltrow, we think these two are best when it's just them "against the music."
"The Point of No Return" (The Phantom of the Opera)
For: Rachel and Finn
We'd love to see how Glee would trim down this long song! Remember when Rachel wished for a Phantom of the Opera glee club lesson? We're totally on board.
"I Put a Spell on You" (Screamin' Jay Hawkins)
For: Sue and Will
We're thinking Sue could sing as she plotted some sort of anti-Glee scheme or at a costume dance like in the classic Halloween flick "Hocus Pocus!" And Mr. Schue could be teaching the Glee club a Halloween-themed lesson. Sort of a parallel type thing!
"I Want You to Want Me" (Cheap Trick)
For: Puck and Artie
We'd love to see them perform this song for Lauren (and whoever Artie is crushing on this coming season) a la Heath Ledger in 10 Things I Hate About You. We're seeing the number complete with police officers chasing him down and an accompaniment from a marching band.
"Price Tag" (Jessie J ft. B.o.B.)
For: Mercedes
This song is made for Ms. Jones! It has her sass and she would rock it. Maybe she could even try her hand at the rapping, too.
"Ain't No Mountain High Enough" (Marvin Gaye)
For: Kurt and Blaine
They are too cute and we love how they sound together. We imagine this duet with some rock edge and Blaine on the piano.

US federal employees are not allowed to attend conferences outside of the US even if just across the border in Canada. Also many US companies will not approve foreign travel to conferences.

Today's activity for the wordsmiths:
I'm after some new words for the following:
1. A word for that overwhelming dazed feeling you get walking round Ikea (just look at the people around you, they all have it)
2. A word for that miserable level of unhappiness that couples get at Ikea (no one needs to do that shopping in pairs - if I can buy a bed all by myself with my muppet arms, I think it would be far safer for the wellbeing of the relationship if one person went - the reward for having to trawl thru Ikea with all the other dazed and unhappy people is that you get to pick the furniture) Next time, look at the couples...it's tragic.
3. A word for falling victim to buying crap you never set out to get and probably don't need. Has anyone ever gone to Ikea and just got what they went for? I went for batteries and got a dragon and a doona cover...
4. A word for consistantly forgetting to take the recycled batteries back to be recycled, even tho that was the purpose of the visit...
Now I just want to clarify, anyone with children should love Ikea, for cheap afforable necessities, toys and even food. They are green and stylish but those words and descriptions already exist...(is that enough to stave off a lawsuit?)
I'll finish with a quote from my wee girl as we walk over from the car park "Oh this place?! I LOVE this place!"

"Superior comfort at a reasonble price"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Nov 13, 2012
One of the best experiences I have had at any hotel for many years. The quality of the serivce was outstanding and the conditions of the hotel room was superior. The hotel was very clean, beautiful surroundings, everything was working in the room and always plenty of hot water. I enjoyed the friendly staff and the room service and food was very good.
"awesome hotel"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Oct 30, 2012
I did a lot of research into the hotels on boracay and for the location and price the boracay ocean club is hard to beat. My girlfriend and I wanted a nice romantic vacation together and the boracay ocean club did not disappoint. We stayed 7 nights in the poolside suite and had a awesome stay there. I found the entire hotel staff to be very courteous and professional. The ladies at the front desk always had a smile and went out of there way to accommodate our every need. The location of the hotel is on the quite part of boracay in station 3 but that was ok with us. It was not a perfect stay since there was ongoing construction of there restaurant and sometimes they would work into the night after 9pm and start work again at 6am. But other then that it was a great value for your money and we will definitely be going back soon.
"good location in front of beach"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Oct 8, 2012
its old hotel but best choice in terms of cost effeciency compared to other beach side hotel.
"Nice stay."Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Aug 2, 2012
I found the staff very friendly and helpful. The facility has a great pool . I was there in the rainy season and it was nice to have such a nice pool. Access to the beach is nice. When compare to other hotels that I observe on my walk along station 2 and 3 I felt Paradise was a good choice, The off season rates were decent.
"skinboarding"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Jul 16, 2012
too short, it could have been longer and plan to go back. we had an excellent stay, staffs are very friendly, excellent food, loved the cabana, happy hour and everything about boracay.
"perfect"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Jun 1, 2012
we just stayed for 2nights and 3days...it was awesome.THEY ARE SO NICE THAT THOUGH WE ALREADY LEFT THE HOTEL AND WE FORGOT SOME OF OUR STUFF, they were kind enough to send it without asking us to pay for the delivery charges. :-) :-) :-)

enjoyed my stay the staff were were helpful and cordial
"Tropical paradise"Reviewed by John M of "Bonney Lake, WA" on Sep 21, 2011
I would recommend this hotel to some of my friends, but not some others. It was not geared up for many guests during this offseason. It's away from the main beach but readily accessible by a 5-minute walk around a point of rocks by a walkway. They serve a guest breakfast, but are not geared up for other meals at this time of year. We found a great place 40 meters up the beach at Microtel with good food and a great bar. The room has a kitchenette with a medium-sized refrigerator. i talked with the manager and he has plans to fix some of the shortcomings by November 2011.
