Petersham Nurseries
We met with Catherine & James for their engagement shoot in Richmond Surrey, just a stone's throw away from the couple's house. We had originally planned to go to Marble Hill Park, which is where James proposed to Catherine; a beautiful park by the river, with no less than four stately homes. But with heavy showers due on the day of the shoot Catherine suggested a change of plan, to meet at Petersham Nurseries a favourite spot of Catherine & James.
With grey skies overhead and the odd roll of thunder I think we made the right decision; we could dash for cover in the greenhouses, each decorated with beautiful rustic gifts and interiors. With hand crafted homeware, plants & antiques beautifully displayed, it made for a unique setting. We met in the Tea House, where they sell a delicious range of cakes, seasonal and fresh produce, to catch up on Catherine & James' wedding plans before taking a wander around the nurseries.
We are looking forward to Catherine & James' wedding at the Larmer Tree Gardens later this Summer.

The Center for Sustainability Education (CSE) works to connect Dickinson faculty and staff with professional development, curriculum development & student faculty research opportunities in sustainability. Providing workshops, study groups, guest speakers & public lectures, curriculum consulting for individuals and/or academic departments or offices helps spread our initiative across the campus and curriculum. CSE also coordinates Sustainability Course Designation within the curriculum for the College.
CSE provides Sustainability Education Funding for projects and research that advances sustainability or climate change related learning, scholarship and creativity. These incentives facilitate a better understanding of how to meet the critical needs for present and future generations while improving and sustaining the environmental, social and economic systems on which they depend. Faculty from any discipline, administrators and staff are eligible for funding. Our Valley & Ridge Faculty Study Group provides training, consulting, and a forum for faculty to work on these issues in an interdisciplinary workshop setting. Students may not apply directly to CSE for funding; application for student/faculty projects, research assistantships, and student travel, must be made by faculty or teaching staff, a staff member, or administrator.
Professional development is also offered to new faculty, new employees of the college, housekeeping staff, College admissions, student orientation staff, residential education staff, event advisory board, and other clubs and organizations looking to make their impact on the campus more sustainable.

The owners of the B&B are very friendly and helpful. The room was huge and would have had enough space for a Family of five. We even had our own fire place. The hostel is easy to find not far from the motor way.

It was a very nice place. The owners are very kind and it is a lovely place to relax for a couple of days. I arrived on the train and had to walk / use public transport to get around. It's definitely worth having a car if you want to stay here.

In the Fall of 2008, two old friends from Toronto, Canada met in the greyness and never-ending drizzle of Groningen, a town in the northern Netherlands. Jake Fairley (Fairmont) had spent the past 6 years based in Berlin, riding a wave of European techno hits released on labels such as Border Community and Kompakt. Jim Sayce had been in Toronto, pursuing graduate studies while playing in such bands asTangiers (French Kiss) and earlier, the Deadly Snakes (In The Red). Their long-standing friendship had not manifested itself into a musical project since their early teens, and they decided to re-ignite a creative conversation that had been put on hold over ten years earlier. Though their musical paths had taken divergent, almost opposing courses, they used the geographical disconnection from everyone they knew to focus on creating a new kind of pop music
Their sound references Americana as much as Brit-pop. Their influences range from Roy Orbison and Angelo Badalamenti to the Smiths and New Order. The result is somewhere between the soundtrack to Twin Peaks and the Madchester sound. Dark but full of hope, Bishop Morocco's music is a reflection of their shared youth within the west-central neighborhoods of Toronto, juxtaposed against the history and cultural wasteland of small-town Europe. The product of their time in the Netherlands is their self-titled debut album to be released June 1st 2010 by Hand Drawn Dracula.

The World's Ugliest Rolls Royce—Hands Down
This simply must be the ugliest Rolls Royce in the world…at least, if there is a worse example in existence, I do not care to see it! I have often said that money does not buy taste, and this owner dropped around $300,000 to customize this Phantom. There is such a thing as too many options, clearly. The ugliest Rolls Royce on earth is a combination of far too many options gone awry. It seems that the buyer had a difficult time deciding between purple, yellow, white and gold for the exterior. The entire thing is then perched on gold-plated … Continue reading

Would You Pay $14 Million for a Number Plate?
Recently a Ferrari 250 LM sold for $14.3 million dollars. That is a high price for an exotic car, but a number plate in Abu Dhabi was purchased for the exact same amount: $14.3 million. The most expensive number plate sold for the staggering sum was number 1–the most desired digit in Abu Dhabi. The kicker is that the plate graces a mere million dollar ride, a 2006 Pagani Zonda roadster. Let us dive deeper into the subject in order to grasp the insanity. The most expensive number plate is the number 1 in Abu Dhabi. There is a tremendous … Continue reading
Man Drops $250,000 for a Totaled Ferrari Dino
In the art arena, there is no such thing as too out there, too ostentatious or even to wrecked. Case in point: A Turkish art collector has shelled forth the staggering sum of $250,000 for a totaled Ferrari Dino. The piece, simply titled "Dino", will not come to roaring to life when the engine is started…if there even is an engine. Did the artist actually wreck the Ferrari, or is he simply profiting off of the stupidity of others? Because for that price one can purchase a decent new Ferrari supercar. Totaled Ferrari Dino nabs $250,000 in cold hard cash … Continue reading
Stolen 1974 264 Dino Ferrari Found Buried in Backyard
Some California kiddos dug up more than just dirt while playing in their backyard in the 70s. The children flagged down local police to report what they said felt like the roof of a car. Police responded with a skip-loader and unearthed a green 1974 264 Dino Ferrari. The stolen Ferrari had apparently been buried there, and remains in surprisingly good condition. Photo by Larry Sharkey of the LA Times The 264 Dino Ferrari was worth around $18,000 back in its day. Local detectives dug up more information on the Ferrari and discovered that it had been originally purchased by … Continue reading
Does it Cost Bugatti $6 Million to Sell a Veyron?
No one has ever thought of the Bugatti Veyron as a steal with its $1 million plus price tag. New research released suggests that it actually costs the brand roughly $6.24 million for each Veyron it sells. This is according to data from the Wall Street research firm Bernstein Research. So why would a company take on such a catastrophic loss and continue to produce? The estimated loss figures are said to be "very approximate" for the Bugatti Veyron money pit. Bugatti has responded that the figures released are "not plausible". The numbers are derived from a large R&D cost … Continue reading
Aston Martin Thief Needed Instructions to Start Car
A clumsy South Florida car thief was able to enter a locked garage on his own, but needed the assistance of the homeowner to start and then steal the $200,000 Aston Martin Vantage. Two were arrested for the event: Zuhdi Musa, 47, and Rosa Maria Musa, 45. Above is a photo of an Aston Martin dash. Those unfamiliar with certain exotic sports cars would find it confusing and unfamiliar. This is not a turn-key and go ride. The man, Zuhdi, tied up the owner and asked her how to start the luxury vehicle. It is not clear how the woman … Continue reading
Craigslist Guy Wants to Swap Private Island for Ferrari Enzo
All is fair in the trading game–a sentiment which is made clear by this bizarre offer! A man is interested in trading a private Florida island for a Ferrari Enzo…or $1.7 million USD. The unique seller is more likely to receive money for his parcel, as just 399 Enzos were produced. Even so, what better outlet to advertise this swap than on Craigslist?

The Vencer Sarthe Just Looks Weird
While I typically welcome underdogs and newcomer supercars onto the scene with relatively few snide remarks and face scrunches, I just cannot get past the looks of the Vencer Sarthe. I have to say it: It looks like a deformed and malnourished Ferrari. That being said–it does get points for the unexpected carbon fiber accents, luxe interior and ability to produce 503 horsepower. The Vencer Sarthe is the product of a new imagination on the supercar scene. I hope it undergoes a few makeovers because the snub nose and less-than curvaceous body do nothing for me. It is only the … Continue reading

longislander1940 - Doesn't Obama get ANY credit for pre positioning assets in NJ (Bloomberg refused them,) for bringing in Military gas tankers to give away FREE gasoline, Using military cargo planes to bring in more utility crews and bucket trucks from California and waiving Federal restrictions on foreign oil tankers entering NYC harbor with gasoline to unload? Bush's FEMA guy "Brownie" got on the President's case for sending help TOO soon. I guess you just can't please everyone.

bonjouryall - Correction - The Wallstreet bailout was under W. not Obama and it WAS poorly done. Obama bailed out the Auto Companies and it was WELL done. You ask "Tell me what has Obama done for the middle class or young people for that matter." Since you ask: 1. When Obama took office, we were LOSING 800 jobs every month thanks to the policies that Magical Mitt the Mendacious wants to bring back ON STEROIDS. Now in each of our last three months we have added over 170,000 American jobs. In four years, he has added more jobs than W. did in 8. 2. Obama has given congress several bills that would make the jobs situation better but the GOP has rejected them in their desire for power. Especially heinous was their rejection of the Jobs for Vets bill. 3. Obama has removed big banks from the student loan program and used the savings to finance more pell grants for young people. 4. His end to DADT allows thousands of military personel to serve without violating their oaths by living a lie. 5. His Wallstreet regulations and consumer bill of rights will help prevent future abuses if congress ever allows them to actually go into effect. There is so much more but I am running out of allowed space on this post so if you want more reasons to vote for him please go to his website. He has really been a GREAT President considering what he was left and how little help he was given.

7.9% unemployment is good??? I"m shocked. Tell me what has Obama done for the middle class or young people for that matter. Rather than address the needs of the social security fund, he's continuing to drain it as part of his 'stimulus'; he's keeping it underfunded by starting up an underfunded Obamacare, which was not the smartest idea in a deep recession anyway. He got three more free trade treaties passed just this past year for the multinationals; bailed out Wall St 100 cents on the dollar rather than give them a haircut; and, since he takes credit for Bin Laden, he also must be debited for the death of an ambassador and staff in Libia.

Of course Obama at last made a stab at doing his job, the opportunity presented itself to the detriment of so many misfortunate people. He is out now shouting and still blaming Bush for his lack of leadership, touting BinLaden is dead and peace is about to happen as soon as you re-elect me, he is right on one count, BinLaden is dead ans so is our Ambassador and three other Americans due to his incompetence. If we elect this misfit again we deserve what we get. He certainly will not get my vote to aid him in destroying my country. "Honor" he never heard the word or knows what it is.

faberm1 & staker42 - Regarding Obama's handling of Sandy: I just watched a clip of NYC Mayor Michael Bloomburg at a press conference from BEFORE the storm hit. He tells the reporters that President Obama called him and offered to PRE-POSITION FEMA assets around the city so that they would be readily available immediately after the storm moved on. The Mayor then says that he told the President that NYC would not need them. I saw the Mayor in a press conference two days before the storm say that he did not think evacuation of any of the city would be necessary. The next day, I saw Jim Cantore of the Weather Channel at the Battery saying he could not believe that the Mayor was not ordering an evacuation. An hour later I heard that Bloomburg had ordered an evacuation but only for zone A. By contrast, NJ Governor Christe welcomed the President's offer to pre-position FEMA and TWO days ahead ordered evacuations. The Governor played it safe and the Mayor gambled with people's lives but Obama gave both of them the same offer of support. Obama is not a dictator. This is what happens when you have local control. If you have a good leader at the local level, you are better off than if you have a not so good leader there. Obama was there before the storm for those on Staten Island but was rejected. Now he has sent in FEMA as soon after as the clearing of roads would allow. Please direct your blame toward those responsible rather than the President.

Media heiress and urban prose stylist Emily Brill used to be overweight, which is worse than cancer. She heroically slimmed down, and is now compelled to weigh in, ha, on weighty public health issues. So when she saw a week-old Times story about the decline of calorie-counting, she could not conscientiously keep quiet! "Mind if I add my two cents?" she writes. "I did manage to lose some weight over the past year or two..."
I take issue with a piece like this because I think it plays with fire. "She has started cooking with olive oil and occasionally butter, and has increased her consumption of nuts and peanut butter," Pope writes. Well I'm glad she brings up peanut butter. I ate peanut butter almost every day when I was losing weight, but careful Tara: I was also burning about 8 trillion calories a day up in Bedford with my trainer and on long hikes with my Labrador (whom I jokingly referred to as my 'outdoor/backup trainer).Also:
Nuts are a big deal: they pack huge fat content and they'll keep you CHUNKAAAAY if you're not workin' it.Oh baby. Well Emily, if you really want to be able to down all the peanut butter you want, I suggest you give this a shot:

Unaccompanied childrenChildren sometimes need to travel on their own. We therefore offer an unaccompanied minor service to ensure they are looked after during the trip. The service permits children who have reached their 5th but not 12th birthday to fly alone. The service is optional for travelers aged 12 - 15 years, but if requested by the parent/guardian, the child can not decline the service.
You need to request the Unaccompanied Minor service in advance, because the number on each flight is limited. You are not yet able to book the service here on the internet, but have to contact SAS telephone booking.
You will have to complete a handling advice form for your child. Please download the form and fill it out before you check in. If you are unable to do so the form will be given to you at the SAS check-in counter at the airport.
Download handling advice form for children traveling alone.
When you bring your child to the airport you will be asked to assist with departure formalities and to remain at the airport until the aircraft has taken off. Your child will be escorted through the security check, to the departure gate and onboard. Boarding takes place ahead of the other passengers. Your child will be accompanied through arrival formalities before handing her/him over to the care of the meeting adult (the person stated on the handling advice form).
Due to new EU regulations you need to have a boarding pass to be allowed to pass through the security check points into the transit area. If your child is traveling on a Swedish domestic flight, you may still accompany your child all the way to the gate, through the security check point. Please contact the staff at the airport and they will help you with all the formalities. Upon arrival, you will not be able to meet your child at the gate. Your child will be accompanied through arrival formalities before handing her/him over to you or the care of the meeting adult (the person stated on the handling advice form).
Unaccompanied minors receive special attention and assistance during irregularities and we ensure that parents are kept well informed of any re-routing arrangements. A child traveling alone with the unaccompanied minor service is never left unattended.
On domestic flights in Sweden and Denmark a special fare applies for unaccompanied minors, no charge is added.
On international routes a service fee of EUR 40 or equivalent in other currency per one way trip will be charged.

tim burton does it again....
By williamsgwynfa (627 reviews) from gwaenysgor , 12 Oct 2006[Highly rated reviewer]
i love tim burton films particularly when johnny depp is starring in them, so i could not wait to see this film. i was not disappointed it is amazing. it has a gothic feel to it, but still is witty and has an emotional edge to it. johnny depp is brilliant as the voice of the hapless hero, and the song and dance routines are fabulous.
this is well worth renting out.- Was this review helpful to you?

Creepy and funny at the same time, good film for the younger generation
By cfh87 (25 reviews) , 24 Nov 2011Certainly a different animated film. Uniquely creepy and amusing at the same time.
A clever twist as the main character makes quite a big mistake when practising his vows in the woods.
After not knowing what has hit him, he tries to redeem himself but things dont turn out the way you expect. A good film for the younger generation, keeps you guessing.- Was this review helpful to you?

Tim Burton's Twisted Mind!
By Loliii (6 reviews) from London , 20 Nov 2011I loved this movie! I watch it over and over. When I first watched it, it kinda scared me, but I was in those ages when everything seemed scary! I loved everything about this movie, the beggining, the ending, everything! I just can't see my life without this movie! Tim Burton's twisted mind just brings more and more goodness to this world!

How to Find a Pest Control Company You Can Trust
Monday, October 11th, 2010Not satisfied with the comforts of home, bedbugs are migrating to public places like movie theaters and retail stores and then hitching rides on unsuspecting consumers. Not only are bedbugs a growing problem, they are also a hard problem to get rid of. Better Business Bureau recommends doing your research to find a pest control company you can trust to get the job done efficiently.
According to a recent survey by the Pest Management Association, 95 percent of exterminators had encountered a bed bug infestation in the previous year—compared to only 25 percent of respondents ten years prior. While homes are the most common place for infestations, bedbugs also invade hotels, movie theaters, clothing stores and offices.
"When you discover an infestation in your home or business, you want to act quickly and get a professional in there fast," said Kim States, BBB President. "Despite the urgency of the problem, you still need to do your research and make sure you are enlisting the help of a qualified and trustworthy pest control specialist.
When hiring a pest control company, BBB recommends that home and business owners consider the following:
Start with BBB.
Always research a business with your BBB first. BBB maintains reports on good and bad exterminators across North America. You can use BBB's Accredited Business Locator to quickly find local companies that uphold BBB's standards for ethical business practices.
Credentials count.
Make sure the exterminator has sufficient training and certifications. Ideally, the company will also be a member of a national or local trade association. Also research the company with your local pest (more…)

Dude is epic popular right now, but with that have entered thousands of dimwitted, close-minded fans. Tons and tons of punk kids who now claim blood because they wanna jock Tech's penis. Thats why I haven't been to a Tech show in over a year and thats why I left this forum. I feel like I'm on Young Moneys forum talkin to yaw. His fans hate anyone who isn't him or anyone who isn't "strange enough". Fuck, I remember a long ass time ago, I posted a thread here about B.o.B and everyone was like "whos this fag?" and now, look at all of you. Its pathetic. You people are such haterz! And this pledge bullshit?! Are you serious?! Tech N9ne said himself on his facebook page that if we dont take the pledge, we are not a real fan. You know what I say to that? Eat shit, Aaron Yates. I've been a fan way before that stupid fucking pledge. Do you people not see whats going on? Its turning into the juggalos all over again! Its horrible!
wanna see something funny?
wait for it. it'll happen soon.
Soon, about 35 dudes will E-Attack me with all their anger and rage. They will call me all kinds of silly names and threaten me. They might even edit my pictures and try to offend me, that has happened 3 times now on here! Its pretty comical, stick around... add your own insults!
bottom line, you all look like nutt jockin losers.
his girl is not even hot lol
I havent been down since the beginning but i've been spreadin' Tech for awhile now..4 years+??
But yeah,i've noticed that the intelligent fans have disappeared ..Lotta retards that dont know what he's talkin bout or even understand him cause their use to Waynes slow mindless bullshit bump the fuck outta him..
As far as the people on this Fourm that flame if you disagree or speak out against what Tech does i agree in that too..way to much trolling goes on here..but then again it's the internet and you could just be witnessing a dull,bland,dry sense of humor..you cant see a face or hear the delivery so..it just looks rude..i dont know..Llama love..spittin on you pussies.
so what? Who gives a shit about what type of fan is paying attention to his music? Im just glad dude recieving the much needed attention thats escaped him for so many years. As far as the pledge is concerned, that's pretty simple...either you like it or you don't and if it was a bad idea then tech would be smart enough to not say it anymore, only time will tell
yadda =D

I am king troll, mah fucka. BACK DOWN.

Posted 9:15 PM 7/11/2012 : Artwork on construction fences removed
This is an update to a story that aired on June 8. Click here to watch the original report from News 4 Tucson's Erika Flores.
TUCSON - Federal regulations forced the City of Tucson to remove artwork from Modern Streetcar construction fences.
"Local artists on the fence give it more flavor," Marissa Andazola said. "That's what 4th Avenue is known for, is its flavor and its character."
Because the project is partially federally funded, the work site has to follow federal guidelines. People have to be able to see in, out and around the construction, according to Michael Graham, a spokesperson for the City of Tucson.
Local businesses that have been hurt by the construction appreciated seeing the artwork.
"I actually loved it," Delectables Restaurant and Catering General Manager, Christopher Baldwin said. "I felt very much like it was individuals and maybe small businesses taking over the energy of the fence."
The construction has caused about a 30 percent drop in business, according to Baldwin.
"I and many others of us have grown to kind of resent the fence," Baldwin said. "There's something funny about it. We're really looking forward to it coming down."
The artwork was given back to the artist who organized the effort, according to Graham.
The fences will be coming down sooner, but the Streetcar is expected to start running late next year.

How sportspersons outside the world of cricket are getting corporate help
Edition: Jan 6, 2013
Sanjiv Shankaran and Goutam Das
In September, ace shuttler Saina Nehwal signed with Rhiti Sports Management a Rs 40 crore endorsement deal that makes her one of India's top-earning sportspersons outside the wealthy world of cricket . The deal is significant not only for the Olympic bronze medallist but also for other non-cricketing athletes as it highlights their growing brand power.
...Olympians are not the only ones on sponsors' radar. One of the best-known faces in Indian sport who is neither a cricketer nor an Olympian is Viswanathan Anand. The five-time world chess champion's endorsements are managed by sports management company TNQ Sponsorships India. ...Eventually, it was computer-education provider NIIT, which chose Anand to endorse its brand.
...Monnet has a Rs 18 crore sponsorship deal with the Indian Boxing Federation from 2010 to 2017. "Monnet associated itself with boxing as it represents power, strength, agility and endurance, which syncs perfectly with our direct operations - steel, power and mining," says Sandeep Jajodia, Chairman and Managing Director.
...Latika Khaneja, Director at Collage Sports Management, feels getting endorsements is a matter of "capturing imagination." She cites the growing marketability of Nehwal as an example. "I don't think anyone cares about badminton, but she (Nehwal) is interesting."
...Prakash Padukone, former All England badminton champion and co-founder of Olympic Gold Quest (OGQ), displays cautious optimism. "There may not be a significant jump in sponsorships for Olympians, but it will be much easier to find support now than in the past," he says. ..."I see more optimism in Olympic sports. It has changed a lot since Saina (Nehwal) came up," says P.V. Sindhu, 17, handpicked by Padukone for OGQ as a future badminton champion. "I have a fan page on Facebook started by someone I don't know. I can sense a more positive mood around me."
Finally.... finally!!!!
BAI has gotten it's act toegther - at least where it's website is concerned. The official website is revamped and actually offers some info, news, and content that is accessible and read-worthy!
Badminton in India had never had it so good
It was the year which saw the Indians shuttle to glory, literally. Indian badminton never had it so good Saina Nehwal won the London Olympics bronze, Parupalli Kashyap became the first ever Indian shuttler to enter the Olympics mens quarterfinals, Pusarla Venkata Sindhu won the Asian Youth (under-19) title besides a couple of outstanding results in major events.
The world rankings of Sindhu (No. 19) and Kashyap (No. 14) are just another indicator of their growing stature.
At the start of 2012 the scene looked somewhat grim with Saina struggling to regain her form. Once she won the Swiss Open title the confidence was back and so was her game.
She soon won the Indonesian Open beating Liu Xuerui and the Thai Open getting the better of three-time World junior champion Ratchanok Inthanon. Just the kind of wins she was desperately looking for in the build-up to the London Games.
With the huge load of that Olympic medal off my shoulder, I am more relaxed, confident and a better stroke-player now, said Saina while stressing that 2012 was her best year by all means.
In the dock for skipping the Syed Modi GP, Saina insisted that she was not ready to aggravate her troublesome knee ahead of a hectic schedule.
For someone who is touted by national coach Pullela Gopi Chand as the next best bet after Saina, 17-year-old Sindhu threw enough hints of her remarkable rise winning the Asian Youth (under-19) title, and then shocking Olympic gold medallist Liu Xuerui in the China Open Super Series quarterfinals.
She also reached the Malaysian Open Super semifinals but had to miss the World juniors because of an injury. She capped off the year as a finalist in the Syed Modi GP which should augur well not only for her but also the sport.
In mens section, the cynosure of all was the gifted Kashyap, who braves frequent bouts of asthma and opponents with equal ease. Semifinal appearances in the India Open Super Series and Indonesian Open Super Series before the London Games quarterfinals loss to World No. 1 Lee Chong Wei were proof that he meant business.
The Syed Modi GP title, his maiden GP title, was the icing on the cake of what has been a thoroughly memorable year for him.
However, the disappointment was the flamboyant womens doubles pair of Gutta Jwala and Ashwini Ponnappa, which faded away after its World championship bronze last year. With Jwala taking a long break after the Olympics, it was difficult for Ashwini to make an impact on the international stage.
Looking to the future, young guns like Guru Sai Dutt, winner of the Tata Open, and Pratul Joshi, who shocked former Olympic champion Taufik Hidayat in the first round of the Syed Modi GP, are on the wings waiting to grab the big opportunities.
The future too looks good what with the $1 million Indian Badminton League also launched.
Satisfying year for Indian Badminton: Gopi
It was a big year for Indian badminton as Saina Nehwal won a bronze medal at the London Olympics. Controversies apart, which cropped up late in the year, Pullela Gopichand has reasons to be satisfied as chief coach of the Indian team.
"Overall, it has been a satisfying year, with Saina's bronze at London Olympics being the highlight. But having said that the performances of other players have also been good. (Parupalli) Kashyap did well.
"Young Sindhu was up in the twenties in world rankings. Gurusaidutt had some good performances. Sai Praneeth and K Srikanth too had some impressive performances,'' said India's chief coach while assessing India's performances in 2012.
The whole of 2012 has been very good for her. We worked on her defence, attack and net play. We made a few changes which were important, particularly on the fitness and stroke play. We could finally achieve some excellent results like the back-to-back titles at the Thailand GP and Indonesian Open Super Series. Olympic bronze was the icing on the cake. She also won the Denmark Open Super Series title.
On the turning point and beating Chinese players:
The Indonesian Open Super Series was one of the big wins this year. It was a great confidence booster before the Olympics. Victories over the Chinese players (Wang Yihan, Li Xuerui, Wang Shixian) has made her a much stronger player. She is backed it up with excellent performances.
On targets for next year:
We will be targeting the All England and the World Championship next year. We hope she does well in these tournaments.
On Kashyap's rise:
Reaching the quarterfinals in the Olympics was a fantastic performance for Kashyap. Winning the title at Lucknow has made him a more confident player. His victory over China's Chen Long and reaching the semifinals of the Super Series showed his improvement as a player. It will be a challenging year for Kashyap. I expect him to break into top eight in 2013 if he continues with his good form.
On PV Sindhu
I'm happy with the way she has progressed. We will work on her strokes and defence. She has to work on consistency and I expect her to perform much better next year. It will be a build-up year for Sindhu.
On the progress of other Indian players:
If you look at the performances of Gurusaidutt, Sai Praneeth, Srikanth, we had some good results. We had two Indians in the semifinals in the Macau event. In the Tata Open semifinals we had four Indians. We need to build on that and players should work much harder in the new season.
my review :
kashyap is improving much...
his style is also a joy to watch now...
next year, i expect him in break the top 10...
saina : no need to review...
sindhu :
she is good, has a very good chop, drop shot etc.
problem is her footwork and defense.
fortunately she has a long leg,so she can cover the court well although her footwork is not smooth.
sindhu will have problem facing a player who can move the shuttle well.
she is not patient enough too, in many rallies, she committed some unforced error
no worry, she is still young, it's so typical for young player.
gopi did well, and he can see the weakness on sindhu.
but i am afraid, too much hope for sindhu. let her rise step by step, she is only 17 yo.
for sai praneeth, i wont change my opinion,
i cant see him becoming a world beater. something is lacking.
he shoiuld have a killing weapon, but he doesnt. he can become a good top 20 or 30 someday though.
i hope he can prove me wrongLast edited by fathonezic; 12-30-2012 at 01:31 PM.
... but what's really worrying is that through all of this report-card business, there has been no mention about arguably the best MS player India has had in the past 10 years, and why he is not performing to potential, and why nothing has been really done to rectify that...
Yep. I think you are mentioning about Chetan Anand. He definitely had an itch in his personal life which severely affected his career, i guess. Other than that, he has all the weapons which many youngsters possess. But he lacks fitness. He has already crossed 30. His body does not cooperate to his tunes which is obvious. He said in recent interview that he is trying hard to come back to top 50(Will it makes good to his future??? ... Recent development(money) in indian badminton has given him that motivation???? .. Only time will tell .

Nope. Not Chetan Anand. He has been over and done for many years now. I'm referring to Ajay Jayaram. No disrespect to everything that Kashyap has achieved or will, but it is AJ who really had/has the potential to be a consistent winner at the very top. He has the game, the hunger, the aggression, the power, the reach, the guile, the... but for some reasons unknown, he has gone off the rails through this year, despite showing flashes of brilliance. Despite having Tom John.
There is a story behind this that apparently no one at BAI or Gopi's Academy or anywhere, want to talk about. The losers are Ajay, and India. The winners are most of the top players in the world.

Badminton in 2012: The good, the bad and the ugly
Hyderabad: Much like a shuttlecock being smacked about on the court, Indian badminton had its share of good and bad moments in 2012.
From the high of a historic Olympic show by Saina Nehwal and Parupalli Kashyap to the low of chief national coach Pullela Gopichand being dragged into a row over selection matters by the Maharashtra-based Prajakta Sawant, the sport witnessed it all.
The good: From the beginning of the year, the nation expected Saina to carry the torch at the London Games in the women's singles and Jwala Gutta-Ashwini Ponnappa were considered best bets in the womens doubles event, but the real suspense hung around who could fill the mens singles spot on the contingent. It was a toss-up between Ajay Jayaram and Kashyap and the former was gaining ground in a fiercely-fought race. But then came the India Open in New Delhi and by a stroke of luck, Jayaram fell by the wayside after losing in the second round to Lee ChongWei while Kashyap qualified after he made the semifinals.
The couple of months that followed saw some rousing performances from Saina and Kashyap. While Saina won the Indonesia Open Superseries and Thailand Open Grand Prix, Kashyap scored a brilliant win over then world no.3 Chen at Jakarta to establish his credentials as an Olympian.
What happened in London is now part of folklore.
Saina brought home Indias first ever Olympic bronze in badminton, while Kashyap became the first Indian male shuttler to enter the quarter-finals.
Kashyap later went on to win the prestigious Arjuna Award, his first-ever national championship and finally an international title, when he won the Syed Modi Memorial Grand Prix in Lucknow last week.
The Bad: The Cut throat nature of International came to the fore at the London Games. Eight womens doubles players were disqualified from the Games for deliberately throwing their matches in order to secure favourable draws in the next round and seemingly caught in the crossfire were Jwala and Ashwini, who were knocked out after results of the other matches in their groups went the other way.
Their repeated appeals fell on deaf ears.
Earlier this month, Saina found herself amid a controversy after she pulled out of the first round of the Syed Modi GP in Lucknow, citing a knee strain. That it happened when she was on match point meant several eyebrows were raised.
Some even questioned her commitment in light of an ever-growing endorsement roster.
The ugly: Badminton has long been a battleground between the players and the establishment. The latest such incident involved Prajakta Sawant, who accused national coach Gopichand of nepotism and mental harassment.
She filed a case in the Bombay High Court, which in turn rapped Gopi on the knuckles, questioning his ethics as a coach for running his own academy.
He has been in the reckoning and in current Indian scenario, BAI needs players more then, the players who are potentials like Ajay needing it... There is hardly a chance to chose one amongst two players that level. If he has some good results to back up no story could hold... Alright he might need to work a bit harder but then the fighters turn the tide when the wind isnt flowing in their direction....
Wish him Good Luck.... in the new year...
Why so few countries in Modi International ?
Why is it that players from so many countries did not participate in this Modi International ?
Is it because of the amount of prize money ? - never mind the player rankings.
I wish I knew! The silence however, speaks more volumes than anything else, IMO. The fact that AJ began at the Padukone academy before he made the decision to make it on his own in Europe (which at the time was akin to financial suicide) and more recently, has relocated back to India (with Tom John) but is still not consistent with his pickings or with his conditioning... there are just too many anomalies to his situation.
Gopichand, BAI praise Indian shuttlers
National badminton coach Pulella Gopichand has praised the shuttlers, including Saina Nehwal and Parupalli Kashyap for their performance on the global stage which he said has given a fillip to the game in the country.
For the first time in the recent history of Indian badminton, as many as three Indians found themselves in the top-20 rankings in the world. London Olympics bronze medalist, Saina ended the year as the third-best women player in the world, while Kashyap, who is the first Indian man player to reach the quarter-finals of the Olympics this year, achieved a career-best world No.14.
Rising shuttler PV Sindhu, who enacted a giant-killing act in September when she beat 2012 Olympic gold medalist Li Xureui of China and reached the women's singles final in the Syed Modi India Grand Prix Gold, also finished the year at a career-best ranking of 19.
Gopichand said, "This year has witnessed a phenomenal improvement in Indian badminton. I'm confident of seeing more quality players emerge in the coming year."
BAI President Akhilesh Das Gupta also heaped praise on the shuttlers, saying, "I congratulate all Indian badminton players for the good show. Saina (Nehwal) is a shining example for Indian sports today. It's very heartening to see that our training system is reaping results.
"The future of Indian badminton looks extremely bright with players like Kashyap and Sindhu improving by leaps and bounds, and many other shuttlers emerging on the horizon."
The rise of Indian badminton also witnessed the launch of the path-breaking $1 million Indian Badminton League, which is scheduled to be held in June-July, with the best shuttlers of the world and India expected to participate. Ashish Chadha, CEO of Sporty Solutionz Pvt Ltd, which is is the Commercial Partner for planning and executing the IBL, said, "The Indian Badminton League will take the sport to the next level."
After having such a good year last year, it's going to be a challenge to maintain the same rate of improvement.

Northeast Roadtrip
This is shaping up to be quite a week. New posts on the blog and jersey galleries, and now brand new concept art. Today, I'm grouping up a handful of artwork for the Northeast Division — namely, the Sabres and Maple Leafs.
There will be one more new post before I leave for Vegas on Friday. Then beginning Friday, check back for new concepts to be auto-published daily.
Just received some more Sabres and Leafs concept art so I'm adding it on to this post.
First, longtime Icethetics artist Mike Ivall sent in an update to the Maple Leafs' uniforms. Howard Berger recently said that the two stripes at the bottom of the Leafs' jerseys would be returning in 2010 after an Age of Reebok hiatus. Mike is just putting his spin on that new information. Maybe they can bring back a shoulder patch while they're at it. But in all fairness to Mike, he did say... So, to each his own. |
And lastly, Jesse sent in this Sabres concept which harkens back to the old red third jersey — one of my personal favorites. All he really did was make black and white versions but I'm still a fan. Anything beats the slug. |

CLEMSON, S.C. (AP) — A man has been hospitalized after police in South Carolina say he was hit by an SUV while playing a real-life version of the video game "Frogger."
Authorities said the 23-year-old man was taken to a hospital in Anderson after he was struck at around 9 p.m. Monday.
In the "Frogger" arcade game, players move frogs through traffic on a busy road and through a hazard-filled river. Before he was hit, police say the man had been discussing the game with his friends.
Chief Jimmy Dixon says the man yelled "go" and darted into oncoming traffic in the four-lane highway.
No charges are expected against the driver. The name of the man who was struck has not been released. He was in stable condition Monday night.

The control pad allows you to set the time and temperature to cook your meal at, and allows you to switch the cooker to warm once the meal has been completed.

Christian Horner believes Sebastian Vettel's Singapore domination was a one-off that was due to "unique circumstances."
The triple World Champion destroyed his competition last time out at the Marina Bay circuit, up by 10 seconds over Nico Rosberg before the Safety Car came out on lap 25.
And when the race resumed a few laps later, it wasn't long before he was again seconds up the road from the Mercedes driver.
Vettel eventually won the grand prix by 33 seconds over main title rival Fernando Alonso.
But while some in the paddock are concerned this is just a sign of what Red Bull can do, Horner reckons it was a one-off.
"There were times last weekend when Sebastian was two seconds quicker than the rest of the field, but I think it was due to unique circumstances," the Red Bull team boss told Autosport.
"It was a circuit he was completely on top of and the set-up of the car was working well. It was man and machine working at the top of their game."
But having said that, the Brit expects his team will still be strong at the remaining six grands prix as they chase the fourth Championship double.
"The next challenges we have in Korea and Japan are quite a bit different in characteristics," he said.
"I'm hopeful that we can be strong at those venues, but we can't take anything for granted as Mercedes have been strong at different points of the year and Alonso keeps turning up. He's always there.
"He's had three second places to Sebastian's three wins; so arguably, we should have had a bigger lead over him than we currently have. But he keeps finishing second and he's keeping us honest."

If President Barack Obama's State of the Union address Tuesday had a familiar ring, it's because the speech was simply more of the same: more spending proposals dressed up as "investments in the future," more calls for economic stimulus by another name and more fuzzy math on claims of health-care savings and budget cuts already achieved.
Despite all evidence to the contrary, Obama seems convinced that the country doesn't need a course correction, it just needs more of what he's already been pushing during his first four years in office. This ideology drives him to double down rather than to heed those who correctly point out that his big-government approach has dug the hole deeper.
Recent data shows a slowdown in an already-slow economy, with more weak growth predicted. Obama's claims that the private sector has "created over 6 million new jobs" are misleading: According to an Associated Press fact check, "Obama starts his count not when he took office, but from the point in his first term when job losses were the highest. In doing so, he ignores the 5 million or so jobs that were lost on his watch, up to that point. Private sector jobs have grown by 6.1 million since February 2010. But since he became president, the gain is a more modest 1.9 million."
Meanwhile, 8.5 million people have left the work force since Obama took office, and another 8 million are working part-time when they'd rather be working full-time. If one factors these people into the unemployment statistics, the picture is pretty grim.
Obama and his allies have a knack for calling a reduction in the rate of spending increase a " cut." This is true of the president's claim that the Affordable Care Act is already "helping to reduce the growth of health-care costs." As the Associated Press notes, "It's true that cost increases have eased, but many experts say that's due to the sluggish economy, not to the health-care law, whose main provisions are not yet fully in effect." And tell the millions hit with higher health-insurance premiums — or whose employers have cut their hours in response to the law's mandates — that the health-care law is good medicine for the economy.
One bright spot in the list of recycled ideas was Obama's support of a free-trade agreement with Europe. Such pacts, which remove financial barriers to trade, benefit all. A recent study from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce estimated that eliminating tariffs on both sides would increase trade by more than $120 billion within five years, and result in combined gains in gross domestic product of about $180 billion. It could be the one part of Obama's legacy that actually helps the economy.
No Obama speech would be complete without a threat to move unilaterally if Congress "fails to act," this time on climate change. Obama's end runs around Congress when he can't get his way are always troublesome, but especially when it comes to a topic most Americans don't put near the top of U.S. priorities. And when it involves legislation Obama couldn't even get past the Democrat-controlled Congress in his first two years in office.
The nation is saddled with massive and growing debt and unaffordable entitlements. But aside from a call for another tax increase that wouldn't begin to address the problem, this president has no solution.

HELENA - A Bozeman man has claimed an $815,486 Wild Card jackpot prize.
Jay Gleason stepped forward to claim the prize from the Feb. 13 drawing with a ticket he bought at Rosauers in Bozeman.
Gleason is retired.
Gleason says he carries with him more than 10 years worth of lottery numbers he has tracked. He writes down the numbers from each drawing and how often each number comes up, according to a news release from the Montana Lottery.
He plans to give some of the money to his kids and grandkids.
His win is Montana's second-highest Wild Card prize to date, second only to a $1,127,604 jackpot won in Helena in 2006.

Halfpenny was named the 2013 RBS 6 Nations Player of the Tournament as Wales recovered from defeat to Ireland first time out to win their next four matches.
Wins over France in Paris, Italy in Rome, Scotland in Edinburgh and then England on home soil in Cardiff saw Wales deny the latter the Grand Slam and retain their title.
Halfpenny kicked 69 points in the tournament to add to a try against Ireland as he was named Player of the Tournament for the first time since making his RBS 6 Nations debut in 2009.
And, part of the Wales squad that won the Grand Slam in 2002, the 24-year-old full-back believes turning out for his country is just as good as doing so with the Lions.
"Playing for Wales is just incredible – it's everything about you, your family, friends. You are representing that," said Halfpenny, who was selected but injured on the last Lions tour in 2009.
"Playing for the Lions is the pinnacle of your international career but playing for Wales – it makes me just as proud pulling on that jersey. It is the greatest honour, equal with the Lions."

FCS Diversity and Inclusion - PROPOSED RULE - MARCH 2011
Dear Mr. Van Meter,
My Name is Rachel Catlett and I am one of the Market Managers for the Delavan Fresh Market a farmers market in Delavan Wisconsin dedicated to providing fresh local produce to our city from farmers and food producers within 50 miles of Delavan. I am very concerned about the loss of small farms in our region of Southeast Wisconsin. Small farms provide the wholesome, fresh, sustainably raised food that is preferable to factory and industrialized food production. Small farmers need our support and the economic
stimulii that large agro businesses enjoy. It is time to level the playing field and give small farmers the opportunities to succeed and reach their growing markets.
Thank you for this opportunity to provide comment on ways the FCS can better serve small and midsized, local and regional food producers. We support your efforts to diversify the FCS loan portfolio and would ask that in defining what needs to be included in FCS marketing plans that you include:
1. A requirement that each FCS institution create a baseline analysis of producers who meet the farm bill definition of local and regional food producers by number of borrowers, by loan volume, and other key characteristics.
2. An investment goal for local and regional food producers of not less than 10% of each institution's capital within 5 years.
3. A plan for conducting outreach to local and regional food producers.
4. A requirement that such an outreach plan and periodic progress reports be made public.
5. A commitment to adding local and regional food producers to the FCS board.
6. A plan for providing staff development training to FCS personnel across the full spectrum of lending, accounting, farm transfer and business planning services appropriate for serving local and regional food producers.
7. A plan for developing lending and business support products with terms and benefits appropriate for local and regional food producers.
8. An inventory of strengths and weaknesses of financing for local and regional food infrastructure (aggregation, processing, distributing, etc.) and an FCA plan for how to use FCS local and regional food producer financing to leverage other public and private capital necessary to address the larger weaknesses in the rest of the local and regional food supply chain.
Until we begin to support the small farmer in common sense and fair ways, they will continue to disappear from the rural landscape. As small farms disappear small towns suffer. Countless other small businesses, schools down town districts follow suit and a whole sector of our communities decline. When you help small farmers you help rural communities and small towns all over the country.
Thank you for your time

The news that US Glamour managed to bag an interview with President Obama for their November issue was slightly baffling. Granted, the magazine's readers are the female votes that he wants to appeal to as his campaign gets underway, but the decision to talk to Glamour over some of the more serious fashion magazines is questionable. After all, the magazine have admittedly increased their fluffy, throw-away celebrity content over the last few months so talking to the President about serious issues like health care seems at odds with that. By the sounds of things, I'm not the only one that had that feeling.
On the whole the critics have been unncessarily harsh with some going as far as saying that he deliberately opted for the magazine to avoid having to talk about the serious issues but as The Cut points out, whether you like the magazine or not, he was hardly talking about mascara. However, I can see what National Review contributor Jim Geragthy was coming from when he told WWD that, 'the grumbling about Obama's fluff interviews would be quieter if the country were in a time of peace and prosperity or if he hadn't gone close to eight weeks without a press conference.'
What do you think? Was the Glamour interview a good move?

Currents in Teaching and Learning is a peer-reviewed electronic journal that fosters nonspecialist, jargon-free exchanges among reflective teacher-scholars. Published twice a year and addressed to faculty and graduate students across the disciplines, Currents seeks to improve teaching and learning in higher education with short reports on classroom practices as well as longer research, theoretical, or conceptual articles, and explorations of issues and challenges facing teachers today. We welcome both individual and group submissions. All submissions must be original, previously unpublished work and, if based in a particular academic discipline, must explicitly consider their relevance and applicability to other disciplines and classroom settings.
Currents in Teaching and Learning is a publication of Worcester State University, Worcester, Massachusetts, U.S.A.ISSN: 1945-3043

He will most likely be a fourth or fifth rounder.... Why not get him?! He gets healthy somehow we have the biggest steal in te draft. He will make CJs career pro long because he will be sharing the load. Anyone else remember our 13-3 season? Shutdown D and a ridiculous run game. Cj and Lattimore ( if healthy) would be great! And as a fourth rounder

Technology supports and enriches students' academic experiences and helps to develop their critical thinking abilities. All classrooms and computer labs feature the latest computer technology and presentation equipment, including touch-screen "Smart Boards" in our kindergarten classrooms. A complete fiber network was installed throughout the academy to provide high-speed Internet access to every classroom. AACPA is also equipped with wireless laptops for classroom projects and mobile learning. In 2001, AACPA was named a Cox Model Technology School – one of only eight in the nation.
AACPA technology classes ensure that children have a solid grounding in skills such as keyboarding, word processing, spreadsheet applications, database development, Internet integration, multimedia applications and research strategies.
Internet security and safety is a top priority. No child is allowed Internet access without teacher supervision. The school also has sophisticated filters in place to protect children from undesirable material.
