After taking over as chairman & CEO of PepsiCo India two months ago, D Shivkumar has restructured the companys operations in line with its global operating model. From a business unit-based organisation, PepsiCo India has now become an integrated power-of-one functional organisation. With this move, the company has integrated its beverage and food business into one entity.
As the title sponsor for IPL-7, the company is drawing up fresh marketing and advertising plans to attract cricket lovers. It has floated a music channel, Pepsi MTV Indies, in association with MTV to target the youth segment. In an exclusive interview with Lalitha Srinivasan, Shivkumar talks about the companys plans. Excerpts:
Tell us about the companys restructuring plans to strengthen operations in India.
Our new organisational structure is aligned with our global operating model. The food and beverage categories are highly complementary. Our integrated structure drives speed, efficiency and effectiveness at all levels in the organisation, which will enable us to meet the needs of retailers and help us in brand building, innovation and points of sale.
How important is PepsiCo India in your global operations?
India is a key market for PepsiCo and one of the top markets worldwide. Today, we have one of the largest MNC food and beverage businesses in India with a significant manufacturing presence. Along with our partners, we have recently announced an investment of Rs 33,000 crore in India by 2020 for product innovation, increasing manufacturing capacity, ramping up market infrastructure, strengthening supply chain and expanding companys agriculture programme. The decision reiterates our commitment to India and the long-term growth opportunities in the country.
How is your strategic alliance with Tata Global Beverages NourishCo doing?
We are proud of our joint venture with the Tata Group as it is the most trusted home-grown Indian brand with a significant global presence today.
As the title sponsor for the 7th edition of IPL, what are the companys initiatives this year?
Our association with cricket is with the world cup, T-20 and IPL. We have exciting plans for IPL-7. We have started with a digital idea called the Pepsi Intern and will unveil our other plans soon. Our fresh initiative @ThatPepsiIntern will generate exclusive content from IPL 2014 and will be a link between fans and celebrities, bringing the Pepsi IPL experience alive.
As the new head of PepsiCo India, what will be your key focus areas?
The first priority for any new CEO must be to know his people

Another Tylenol Recallsandymaple
Tylenol maker Johnson and Johnson has issued yet another recall of the popular pain reliever after some consumers were sickened after taking the product and others complained about a moldy smell coming from the bottles.
The recall involves Tylenol 8-hour, 50 count caplet bottles from lot BCM 155 with UPC code 3 0045-0297-51 8.
This recall includes about 128,000 bottles of Tylenol that were manufactured at the company's Fort Washington plant in March. That is the same plant that was shut down in May after production problems led to the recall of children's Tylenol, Motrin, Zyrtec, Benadryl and other over-the-counter medications.
In a statement released yesterday, McNeil Consumer Healthcare says the risk of being made ill by these caplets is small:
The uncharacteristic odor is thought to be caused by the presence of trace amounts of a chemical called 2,4,6-tribromoanisole. This voluntary action is being taken as a precaution and the risk of adverse medical events is remote. To date, observed events reported to McNeil for this lot were temporary and non-serious.
If you have this product in your medicine cabinet, you are advised to stop using it and contact McNeil Consumer Healthcare, either at their website or by calling 1-888-222-6036 (Monday-Friday 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Eastern Time, and Saturday-Sunday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Eastern Time) for instructions about receiving a refund or product coupon.

BOONE COUNTY (WIFR) -- The legal battle surrounding a massive mulch fire near Poplar Grove is finally over.
Boone County State's Attorney Michelle Courier tells us a settlement was reached Thursday between the county and North West Pallet. You may recall back in May 2012 dozens of firefighters were on the scene for five days battling the fire. Under the settlement the company paid $4,500 to the sheriff department for overtime and $16,000 to the Boone County Fire District.

Stay Close: A Mother's Story of Her Son's Addiction
by Libby Cataldi
No current Talk conversations about this book.
No reviews
References to this work on external resources.
Wikipedia in English
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0312538782, Hardcover)
During his early teens, Jeff Bratton started using drugs. At first, alcohol and pot, but quickly he spiraled into using cocaine, ketamine, crystal meth and eventually heroin.
How could this wonderful son, loving brother, and star athlete lose himself to drugs? How could his parents be so clueless? How could his mother, the long-term head of a private school, be so blind?
"Stagli vicino", an Italian recovering addict told the author. "Stay close—never leave him, even when he is most unlovable." This is not a book about saving a child. It is a book about what it means to stay close to a loved one gripped by addiction. It is about one son who came home and one mother who never gave up hope.
Stay Close is one mother's tough, honest, and intimate tale that chronicles her son's severe drug addiction, as it corroded all relationships from the inside out. It is a story of deep trauma and deep despair, but also of deep hope—and healing.
Here is Libby Cataldi's story about dealing with addiction without withdrawing love, learning to trust again while remaining attuned to lies, and the cautious triumph of staying clean one day at a time.
He told her, "Mom, never quit believing." And she didn't.

Summary:Our entire way of life depends on electricity. So what would happen if it just stopped working? Well, one day, like a switch turned off, the world is suddenly thrust back into the dark ages. Planes fall from the sky, hospitals shut down, and communication is impossible. And without any modern technology, who can tell us why? Now, 15 years later, life is back to what it once was long before the industrial revolution: families living in quiet cul-de-sacs, and when the sun goes down lanterns and candles are lit. Life is slower and sweeter. Or is it? On the fringes of small farming communities, danger lurks. And a young woman's life is dramatically changed when a local militia arrives and kills ...

A group of former Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. employees is suing the company, claiming it violated federal law by stiffing them on their 60 days of severance pay.
The lead plaintiff is an information technology staffer, who filed a complaint this week seeking class-action certification and more than $5 million in back pay in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Manhattan. The former employees are being represented by class-action powerhouse Outten & Golden.
The ex-Lehman employees claim they were terminated just days before the investment firm filed for bankruptcy on September 15, which was a Monday.
Computer programmer Miron Berenshteyn and dozens of his colleagues were let go on the prior Thursday, according to the filing, making them eligible for 60 days of pay and benefits under the federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act. The employees allege the payments abruptly stopped after just three weeks.
"These are unpaid wages we're talking about here," said Jack Raisner, partner at Outten & Golden. "When employees lose their jobs as part of a mass layoff, they are due that money. It's a priority."
Outten & Golden last hit the headlines in 2004 when it represented an ex-Morgan Stanley employee in a sexual-discrimination suit against the bank. The case was settled for $54 million, one of the highest payments logged in a discrimination case.
According to news reports, nearly 1,000 employees were terminated in the days leading up to the bankruptcy, and Raisner says all could qualify for inclusion in the class.
The group is suing for 60 days of back pay, one week of severance for every year at the company, and health benefits.
Because Lehman is no longer an operating company, the complaint had to be filed in bankruptcy court, where hundreds of other unsecured creditors are hustling for their share of the $613 billion bankruptcy.
If the judge finds that Lehman did violate the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, then the unpaid wage claims would get priority status in the line of creditors.
Lawyers at Wiel Gotshal & Manges, the firm handling Lehman's bankruptcy, could not be reached for comment.
Filed by Hilary Potkewitz of Crain's New York Business, a sister publication of Workforce Management. To comment, e-mail editors@workforce com.
Workforce Management's online news feed is now available via Twitter.

2012 Goals
I don't do bucket lists. This implies I will be dying soon and I'd rather not. And I'd rather not think about it. (evenafter2weeksofwinterbreakwithtattletalechildren HA!) Plus I kinda get the feeling that bucket list only came about or got popular after the movie bucket list and that right there is a no go.
I will set a list of goals for myself. Lists, oh how I love thee. I can make lists and accomplish things AND CROSS THEM OFF and feel so good about myself. It's how I make it through the day happily accomplishing things. So I made my self a list of goals for 2012.
Here is said list:
Some are specific goals like learn to knit socks, I can start this right now. Seeking sponsorship is a goal I will work on long term over the next few months as well as getting the house in order. I can plan on putting up foods from our land, I can buy seeds, onion set and locate a weaner pig and cull calf to raise for meat. Once I can get a shovel in the ground we're ready to go and another goal is met.
I have a LIST!! It's all about word choice, resolution? meh. Bucket list? bleck. List of Goals? YES YES YES. What works for you?
Goals? Bucket List? Resolution?
Peace and Love--

I like your list! You know I am slowly recovering from my sock obsession. This is the book that started me off: Socks Soar on 2 Circular Needles. I can't post the link here nut you can find it on Amazon or where ever. Then for whatever size needles you need, I use mostly 1's or 2's, buy a 24" circular and a 16" circular needle for each size . This way you will always know what side of the sock you are working on. Trust me on this! It's a neat trick not in the book. I now knit everything in the round on 2 circular needles and it didn't take me long to learn how to convert a regular DPN sock pattern to this method. Now I need to go cast on a pair!!! XoxoReplyDelete
I am a serious list person (grocery lists, menu lists, to-do lists, cleaning lists, etc. lists). Socks are on my list as well (sewing fleece sox). I'm afraid I couldn't raise and eat an animal, so that's not on my list. But I like the rest of your list!! I have a few to add, like (learn to take deep breaths before commenting) hahahaha.ReplyDelete
I'm also a list person and I also do the goals (instead of resolutions). I love the feeling of crossing something off my lists, but, for the past year or two, I have really been bad about accomplishing my goals. My plan is to really crack down and make some lines through the goals!ReplyDelete
Great list you have! I'll be interested in hearing about the increased food production and growing from your own land. I miss this about being full time on my farm.
Happy 2012!
Great list! I am working on my list for 2012 as well...so much I want to simplify and make better.ReplyDelete
If you come to my house, you can lean to knit socks....and you children can tattle on mine & vice-versa instead of simply tattling on each other.ReplyDelete
This is a great list! I was inspired by a friend to create a 'life list' since I would have about 40 years + to get it all done. http://lasirenenoir.blogspot.com/2012/01/my-2012-life-list.htmlReplyDelete

Real Estate Agent Indicted for Operating $5 Million Mortgage Fraud Conspiracy
|U.S. Attorney's Office April 26, 2013
United States Attorney Laura E. Duffy announced that an indictment was unsealed today charging Kathryn Sylvester, of San Diego, on charges arising from a mortgage fraud conspiracy to submit fraudulent loan applications for various properties in San Diego County and elsewhere. Sylvester was arrested earlier today by Federal Bureau of Investigation agents. The indictment was unsealed and Sylvester was arraigned today before Magistrate Judge William V. Gallo.
According to the indictment, beginning in 2005 and continuing up through 2008, Sylvester recruited others as "straw buyers" who would purchase properties by submitting mortgage loan application that misrepresented, among other things, their income and employment. Although Sylvester promised some straw buyers that she would "flip" a number of the properties for a profit, she systematically drained equity from the properties for her own benefit.
According to the indictment, in carrying out this fraud, Sylvester added straw buyers to unrelated bank accounts so they could inflate their supposed cash assets to the lenders. In this manner, Sylvester convinced lending institutions to fund loans for which Sylvester and the straw buyers would not otherwise qualify. The straw buyers included Claudia Montes, Tad Lent, and Roderick Michener, all residents of San Diego.
As a result of her actions in the conspiracy, Sylvester is alleged to have played a role in the receipt of fraud proceeds from approximately 80 loans—loans that eventually went into default and resulted in the foreclosure of approximately 28 properties and losses of over $5 million to lenders.
Montes, a former notary public, notarized the signatures of other straw buyers on the loan applications. On April 12, 2013, Montes pled guilty to two-count information (13CR1313-JLS) before Magistrate Judge William McCurine, Jr. She admitted conspiring with Sylvester to submit false loan applications to lenders to obtain the properties, and transferring proceeds to Sylvester. She is scheduled to be sentenced before District Judge Janis L. Sammartino on June 28, 2013.
Michener pled guilty before Magistrate Judge Barbara L. Major on April 4, 2013, to conspiring with Sylvester to commit bank fraud (13CR1130-CAB). Michener admitted that he permitted co-conspirators to claim an ownership interest in his bank account in order to include the account as an asset on their respective mortgage loan applications. He also admitted transferring fraud proceeds to Sylvester. Michener is scheduled to be sentenced before District Judge Cathy A. Bencivengo on June 28, 2013.
Lent pled guilty to conspiring with Sylvester to submit falsified loan applications to mortgage lenders by misrepresenting the amount of his assets (12CR3744-L). Lent entered his guilty plea on January 28, 2013, before District Judge M. James Lorenz. Lent is scheduled to be sentenced on September 16, 2013.
Sylvester is scheduled to appear next in court before United States District Judge Janis L.
Sammartino on May 31, 2013, for a motion hearing.
An indictment itself is not evidence that the defendant committed the crimes charged. The defendant is presumed innocent until the government meets its burden in court of proving guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
Defendant Case Number: 13CR1355-JLS
Kathryn Sylvester
Age: 43
San Diego
Summary of Charges
Count one: Title 18, United States Code, Section 1349 (conspiracy to commit wire fraud and bank fraud); Maximum penalty: 20-30 years of custody; $150,000-$250,000 fine
Counts two-11: Title 18, United States Code, Section 1343 (wire fraud); Maximum penalty: 20 years of custody; $250,000 fine

Summer Fest Ingredient: Herbs, Greens & Beans
Making ricotta cheese from scratch isn't as daunting as it may seem. Start with a mix of milk and buttermilk and end with spoonful after spoonful of creamy homemade ricotta. Fold in your favorite fresh herbs and you've got a perfect pasta filling, an unbeatable crostini topper or my favorite addition to scrambled eggs.
Ricotta's mild flavor makes it the perfect canvas for flavorful additions. I fold in chopped oregano, basil, chives and parsley and then mix in an entire clove of grated garlic. Spread it onto warmed toasts and drizzle with olive oil for the ultimate appetizer.
A full list of herbs, greens and bean recipes from my fellow Summer Fest 2010 bloggers is after the jump …
Homemade Herb Ricotta
Yield: 2 cups
Prep Time:
Cook Time:
- 8 cups whole milk
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 1 Tablespoon chopped fresh chives
- 1 Tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
- 1 Tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- 1 garlic clove, grated
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- Mix together the milk and buttermilk in a heavy-bottom sauce pot over medium-high heat.
- Stir the mixture occasionally, scraping the bottom of the pan to avoid scorching the milk.
- Stop stirring once the milk is hot and curds begin to rise to the surface. Scrape the bottom of the pan again again one more time to free up any stuck curds.
- Line a large sieve or colander with 5 to 6 layers of cheesecloth. Place the lined sieve or colander over a bowl.
- The curds and whey will separate at around 175ºF. Allow the mixture to continue cooking until the top surface is covered with the separated curds. Remove the pan from the heat at this point and ladle the curds into the lined sieve or colander, allowing excess whey to drain into the bowl beneath it. Do not press the curds.
- Pull up on the sides of the cheesecloth and tie the pouch closed. Allow the curds to drain for at least 15 minutes.
- Once the curds have drained and are semi-firm, transfer the ricotta to a bowl and fold in the chopped fresh herbs, grated garlic, salt and pepper. Enjoy the herb ricotta immediately or refrigerate it in an airtight container for later use.
- *Helpful hint: If the ricotta is too firm, simply add in a few tablespoons of the reserved hot whey (or hot water) and stir to soften the cheese.

Rhubarb pie's allure is in its complexity
I haven't always thought of rhubarb as something special. It was a flavor that had to grow on me, but now I think it's second-piece worthy. Sometime ago, I began taking little ribbons of pastry and letting them fall on top of the pie, brushing them with egg wash and sprinkling on the sugar, thus my ribbon-topped pie. I'm looking forward to fresh-picked Oklahoma rhubarb coming to the farmer's market soon.
My husband thinks I need more practice making pie, and he has generously offered to take care of all that extra pie I will have on hand until I get it perfect. I have counter-offered to drive him to the gym on a regular basis or at least walk a mile or two for each piece of pie. So far, I have made just one rhubarb ribbon pie.
My grandmother had plenty of rhubarb in her backyard garden so it was the pie she made most often in the spring. I was reluctant about rhubarb growing up. I thought it had a weird twang to it, and its pale pink color just wasn't as pretty as the cherry pies my mother made. I was convinced it wasn't as sweet either. Both my mother and grandmother insisted the rhubarb had more sugar, but I had my doubts.
By the time I became pie obsessed, I gave rhubarb another try. I was probably intrigued by those beautiful red stalks that would bubble into pink perfection. The tangy-sweet flavor offers natural balance. I think now it is the tangy part that makes the rhubarb flavor so appealing.
Over the years of making the pie, I have experimented with ways to bring out that natural tangy taste that is so characteristic of rhubarb: lowering the sugar and adjusting the spices even adding a bit of cream or half and half to the rhubarb filling at times. I like the little spark of flavor with the addition of orange zest and a bit of fresh squeezed orange juice. Recently, I used the zest and juice of two clementines, which was just right for filling my 9-inch pie shell.
I always include ginger as it is a favorite flavor of mine. You can also stir an equivalent sugar amount of strawberry or raspberry jam into the filling with sliced rhubarb. If you are harvesting your own rhubarb be sure to cut away any leafy growth as the leaves of rhubarb are actually poisonous.
Before the pastry ribbons, I used a crumb topping for rhubarb pie. Laced with butter, brown sugar and cinnamon, the topper was a great way to add some crunchy cinnamon sweetness to the slightly tangy rhubarb filling that bubbled up through the crumbs as it baked. Yum.
Plant your own
It is also a great time to plant your own for pies next year. I try to plant some each year to keep adding to the crop. In northern Oklahoma, I've noticed rhubarb works best on the south or east side of a building or structure where it is slightly protected. It grows from root stock or crowns that are available from a grower, mail order sources or your local nursery.
Start with a deep trench or hole (18 inches or more to accommodate rhubarb root stock).
Refill partially with a mixture of well-rotted manure or compost and the removed soil. Add the crowns or root stock and fill with remaining soil compost mixture. Water well and add mulch once sprouts appear.
Rhubarb will return each year but it needs a bit of water through the winter to help roots retain their moisture. It loves mulch to help keep the soil moist and a side dressing of compost in mid summer and fall to maintain healthy plants.
This yummy pie is a great way to celebrate the first rhubarb of spring. If you like the strawberry rhubarb combination, a half cup of strawberry jam can be substituted for a half cup of the sugar in the filling.
Sherrel's Oklahoma Rhubarb Ribbon Pie
¾ to 1 cup granulated sugar
½ teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon powdered ginger
4 to 5 cups sliced rhubarb (3/8 to ½-inch thick)
Zest and juice of 1 orange or 2 tangerines or clementines
¼ cup cream or milk
Additional sugar for dusting egg washed pastry (turbinado sugar if available)
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place filling in prepared crust. Make egg wash beating yolk and cream or milk together. Brush edges of prepared crust with wash. Keep prepared pie shell in freezer and do not add filling until pastry ribbons are ready.
• Roll out pastry for ribbon top. Brush with egg wash and sprinkle with sugar before cutting ribbons. Cut strips or ribbons 7/8 to 1-inch wide using a rolling pastry cutter if available.
• Place filling in prepared crust. Wind ribbons around the top of the filling in ribbon style.
• Sprinkle additional sugar over outside edge of prepared pie shell if desired.
• Bake in preheated oven turning down to 375 after 15 minutes then baking 25 to 30 minutes until filling begins to bubble and crust is golden.
• Sherrel's pretty pie making tip: Place pie on middle oven rack centered on pizza stone that has been preheated with the oven. This helps fully cook the bottom crust while helping protect the edge of the piecrust. If crust browns too quickly use a long strip of foil to make a necklace or collar around the edge of the pie. Cool slightly before cutting if you can.

Limit of 6 ACH Transfers on Savings Accounts
Posted By Jim On 03/01/2006 @ 7:47 am In Banking | 316 Comments
There is a limit of six transfers, ACH or otherwise, per statement cycle on savings accounts as mandated by the Federal Reserve board Regulation D, which defines the rules of each account type and its reserve requirement. Why is this important? With the advent of online savings accounts and the chase for a better interest rate, ACH transfers into and out of savings accounts are becoming more frequent. Before online savings accounts like ING Direct [3] and Emigrant Direct [4], when you actually had to visit a bank to initiate an ACH transfer; a limit of six transfers on a savings account wasn't really a problem. In fact, you'd be hard pressed to initiate six in a year, let alone six within a statement month. Now, you can initiate six ACH transfers within a statement cycle without really realizing it and that can be cause to terminate your account!
The reason for this is because your savings account is classified as a "saving deposit" and the reserve requirement on a "saving deposit" is 0%, compared to something like 10% on a "transaction account." A reserve requirement is how much of the balance the bank must keep in reserve and not give out in loans. So when Emigrant Direct gets your $1,000 in your saving account, it doesn't need to hold any of that in its reserves, it can loan all thousand dollars because the reserve requirement on a savings account is 0%. (hence the attractive rates) On a checking account (a transaction account) however, they must retain 10% of the balance on hand because the assumption is you will be drawing on your funds more frequently.
So, why did I look this all up? Because when I was reading the Emigrant Direct's disclosure statement (link [5]), I stumbled upon this rule:
Federal regulations require that no more than six (6) transfers per statement cycle may be made to (1) an account at another bank or financial institution, including your External Account, (2) to another EmigrantDirect account or (3) to a third party by means of a preauthorized or automatic electronic transfer. We reserve the right to close your Account for violation of the above restriction.
This is nearly an exact copy of Section 204.2(d)(2) of Regulation D of the Federal Reserve Board's definition of a "savings deposit:"
the depositor is permitted or authorized to make no more than six transfers and withdrawals, or a combination of such transfers and withdrawals, per calendar month or statement cycle . . . to another account (including a transaction account) of the depositor at the same institution or to a third party by means of a preauthorized or automatic transfer, or telephonic (including data transmission) agreement, order, or instruction, and no more than three of the six such transfers may be made by check, draft, debit card, or similar order made by the depositor and payable to third parties. (reference [6])
So, be aware of the six transfer limit on online savings accounts [7] or you might be in for a surprise!

A shopping expedition in Cairns may not be on a par with shopping in some of Australia's larger cities, but Cairns has plenty of worthy stores, markets and malls that make for a good day out on the spend. A great souvenir from Cairns is Opal and pearl jewellery as well as the quintessential Australian souvenirs, didgeridoos and boomerangs.
Head to the heart of the city's business district, to Abbott Street, to indulge in some duty-free shopping, or simply enjoy the many jewellery stores, retail outlets and supermarkets that are peppered along the city's roads and street corners. Lake Street is the best place to buy souvenirs as loads of gift and curios shops adorn the sidewalk and handcrafted pieces such as boomerangs can be found.
Cairns Central Shopping Centre on Shields Street is the biggest shopping centre in the city and contains two department stores, two supermarkets and a cinema complex as well as more than 180 other stores, and has been named among Queensland's top shopping centres.
Markets such as Pier Marketplace, which is open seven days a week, is a must even if only to stroll and browse through the many stores selling everything from clothing, shoes and leather goods to food, souvenirs and music.
Head to the night market on the Esplanade for a night of bargain hunting and bric-a-bric, and take in a spot of dinner at the food court. Rusty's market, between Grafton and Sheridan Streets, is open from Friday to Sunday and is a good place to pick up locally grown produce and exotic fruit and vegetables.

Here is a reading and writing activity I did with one of my Guided Reading Groups a while back. After reading our book, we chose a sentence from the book (or I randomly gave them one.) The sentences' words were cut apart. They had to put the sentence back in order and glue them down. I did my sentence first to demonstrate. Then they copied the words down as I did and illustrated. I was being in a silly mood that day so I decided to make mine have zombie butter chasing the toast (since the sentence was about bread.) :) Just thought I'd share a moment of Kindergarten teaching! (What was so cute about this is that one of my "budding artists" decided to do her own version with her sentence and made an anthropomorphic character too, feet, hands, face...it was so cute! I'd meant to upload her work; :( I must have sent it home with her because she was so proud of it!) Here's my "teacher" blog: http://cundiffskindergartencritters.blogspot.com/

Kate Middleton Continues to Release Upskirt Knicker Snack Panties Photos
Not even a full day into America, and the British royals are already making our children flushed with sin. We all know nasty things happen behind the veil of British bedsets. How can the people who dared try to steal America from us not once in 1776, but twice in 1812, but nothing but nasty red coated whore demons. It's no wonder they all have the same red color coatskin as Satan.
But speaking of skin, all British women are loose flussies. You only have to look at all the melting underwear dresses and milkflap exposures of Emma Watson to know that truth, then when you add Madonna, Queen Elizabeth II, Elton John, the Wife of Bath and others from over there you can see a trend in regal prostitution being glamorized by their snicker toothed, kmart version Paparazzi.
So as Kate Middleton cruised through Beverly Hills as Prince William was planting his British flag in West Hollywood hooker's backsides, mercilessly taxing them with thrust after thrust as he declared America was once again to be mounted by British kings who refuse to pay taxes, we see the "Princess" just spread her legs to show off regal bits to entice boys to google her so she can be more popular than Lindsay Lohan and Brittney Spears.
Here we see the Twilight twaddle pose, the very one Bella was forced into when a pack of vampires twinklefairied to the Sun and orgied her again and again, all on the screen in JKR Rowlings latest erotia film reel. It is sick that Twilight Breaking Dawn and the Half Blood Moon only carries a PG rating and even more sick that this was the site in Hollywood Boulevard today. Do these British authors and royalty have any moral gumption?
Now you see, this is why we had to kick the British out the first time. They have no respect for our God and our Country. Let us hope these classless people can learn some good taste before their green card runs out and they have to return to their delapidated, no dentists hellhole of drizzlings rains and incest faced mouthbreathers. Get out whore demon royalty and if you come back fighting again, one if by land two if by see! This is American, get out!

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) - The Arkansas Senate has given final approval to a bill banning most abortions in the state 12 weeks into a pregnancy.
By a 26-8 vote Thursday, the Republican-led Senate approved the 12-week ban and sent it to Democratic Gov. Mike Beebe's desk. Beebe has called the proposal unconstitutional, but has not said whether he'll veto the measure.
Matt DeCample with Gov. Beebe's office says they will likely get the bill tomorrow and handle it with their next regular batch of bills that reach the governor's desk. Gov. Beebe is not saying until then what action he will take.
The proposal originally would have prohibited abortions as early as 6 weeks into a pregnancy, but it was amended to change that timeline and to add more exemptions after facing objections in the House.
The ban includes exemptions for rape, incest, the life of the mother and lethal fetal conditions. Doctors who violate the prohibition would have their licenses revoked by the state Medical Board.

When I was a kid I loved to play around with words and fonts. I would write the same word several times using a different creative style for each: big blocky letters with a bold marker, then delicate italics with a calligraphy pen, then all sparkly with glitter glue, etc. My seven-year-old daughter does the same thing, only she uses the computer instead, making changes to fonts, styles, and colors super-easy.
My go-to programs when doing something creative that involves text are Adobe Illustrator or InDesign. However, Tim Grey's new course Photoshop CS6 Text Workshop really opened my eyes to some of the great things you can do with text directly in Photoshop. This course covers the basics of adding and customizing text using Photoshop's tools and presets, as well as more advanced techniques like applying filter effects and adding text on a path.
I was inspired to try out the technique for putting an image inside text. I had seen this effect before, but assumed it would be more complicated than I had time and/or energy for. Tim made it look pretty cool though, so I picked an image of my own and followed along as he showed me how to do it. I used a shot of the sun coming up on a misty morning that I took with my camera phone. It's fairly average as a standalone image, but it worked out well for this project and I had a lot of fun playing around with font size and styles. I encourage you to take a look at this free lesson and give it a try yourself!

|BOS Leads Series 2 - 0
PITTSBURGH – The Boston Bruins are heading home two wins away from their second trip to the Stanley Cup Final in three seasons.
The Pittsburgh Penguins are heading to Boston in an attempt to salvage their season.
Brad Marchand scored 28 seconds into the game and again with 8.1 seconds to play in the first period to stake the Bruins to a 4-1 lead they would not relinquish as they defeated the Penguins 6-1 in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Final at Consol Energy Center on Monday night.
The Bruins lead the best-of-7 series 2-0 with Game 3 slated for Wednesday at TD Garden in Boston (8 p.m. ET; NBCSN, CBC, RDS).
A Penguins team that had been so dominant offensively throughout the Stanley Cup Playoffs has scored just once in 120 minutes and looked downright disorganized and at times disinterested in Game 2, allowing the Bruins to freely enter their zone and repeatedly committing turnovers in the neutral zone.
The Bruins were all too happy to take advantage of the situation, scoring on their final three shots of the first period when Nathan Horton scored at 14:37 and David Krejci at 16:31 before Marchand capped the outburst.
Marchand's second goal was scored on Marc-Andre Fleury on the first shot the Penguins' goalie had seen since he played in Game 4 of their first-round series against the New York Islanders on May 7. Pittsburgh coach Dan Bylsma pulled Tomas Vokoun after Krejci's goal gave the Bruins a 3-0 lead, but it was more an indictment of how the Penguins were playing than Vokoun, who could only perhaps be faulted for failing to control a rebound on Horton's goal.
"We're obviously very happy with the outcome," Marchand told NBC Sports Network. "We knew we were going to come in and it was going to be a very tough game; they're very fast, very skilled. I think we got a little lucky, Tuukka bailed us out in both games. We have to play a little better next game."
At the other end, meanwhile, Bruins goalie Tuukka Rask saw just 13 shots through two periods and finished his relatively easy night of work with 26 saves. A nasty Brandon Sutter snap shot with 33.2 seconds to play in the first period is the only shot that's eluded Rask in the series thus far.
"He seems real comfortable right now. The puck seems big to him," Boston coach Claude Julien said of his goaltender. "You've got to ride that goaltender when he's like that."
The Bruins' top line of Krejci, Horton and Milan Lucic had its second big game of the series, combining for two goals and two assists in the decisive first period alone and giving the Penguins fits with their strong cycle game in the offensive zone. The three players have combined for four goals and five assists in the first two games of the series.
The Bruins' second line had a strong night as well, with Marchand, Patrice Bergeron and Jaromir Jagr combining for three goals and three assists. Jagr's two assists snapped a six-game pointless streak for the 41-year-old right wing.
"We've been on that side, too – being down 2-0 after two home games and we came back," Rask told NBC Sports Network. "We know what it feels like and we have to be really ready to play [Wednesday]."
While the Bruins' best players held to the cliché by being their team's best players, the Penguins' best players were among their worst Monday.
Hart Trophy candidate Sidney Crosby committed a turnover that gave Marchand a breakaway for the game's opening goal, one of several he would commit throughout the game. Norris Trophy candidate Kris Letang's turnover in his own zone led directly to Horton's goal, and he was on the ice for four of Boston's first five goals.
Crosby, Letang, Evgeni Malkin, James Neal, Pascal Dupuis, Chris Kunitz and Jarome Iginla combined for 88 points in the first 11 games of the playoffs. They have combined for no points and a minus-25 rating in the past two games.
"I'm not going to look at just three players what they need to do and how they need to play," Bylsma responded when asked about the play of Crosby, Malkin and Letang. "As a group, we need to be a lot better. We need to get to our foundation of how we play and play as a group, and we didn't do that. That includes every one of them -- all of us -- not just 87, 71 and 58.
"It's easy to look at one mistake or one play at the start of the game or to say that, but that's not an indication of the rest of the guys. We need to play a lot better than that. We need to get back to our game, back to our best, and that's not just one or two guys."
The Penguins' first shot of the game came at the 13-second mark of the first period, but they didn't get another one for nine minutes as the Bruins did an effective job bottling them in their own zone and forcing a number of neutral zone turnovers to set up the counter attack.
The first of those counters came before the game was 30 seconds old, when a puck bounced to Crosby at the right point and he was unable to control it as he attempted an ill-advised pass to Matt Niskanen at the opposite point. The puck hopped over his stick and Marchand was away on a breakaway, beating Vokoun high to the glove side to give the Bruins an early 1-0 lead.
Letang's turnover onto the stick of Torey Krug allowed the Bruins' rookie defenseman to attempt a shot on goal that Horton got a stick on, making the puck bounce and creating a rebound that he managed to slice into the net at 14:37 for his second goal in as many games to make the score 2-0.
"We've shown in the past we can bounce back," Crosby said. "It's not a good feeling, but we realize that hanging our heads isn't going to fix anything."
Krejci's goal on Boston's next shot was a thing of beauty, with Lucic entering the Penguins' zone and leaving a drop pass through his legs for Horton, who immediately fed Krejci for a one-timer that left Vokoun with no chance, but which nonetheless ended his evening of work at 16:31 of the first after allowing three goals on 12 shots.
Sutter's second goal of the playoffs brought some life back into Consol Energy Center, but it was sucked right back out 15 seconds later when Marchand scored his second of the game.
Despite trailing 4-1, the Penguins have enough firepower to believe they could come back with 40 minutes remaining in the game. However, they came out for the second period looking lifeless and defeated, failing to apply consistent pressure on the Bruins and making their job of protecting a three-goal lead relatively easy.
Then, just 27 seconds into the third period, Jagr set Bergeron up for a back-door one-timer that Fleury had no chance on for his fourth goal of the playoffs.
That led a large number of Penguins fans heading for the exits and by the time Johnny Boychuk scored at 18:36 only a sparse crowd remained -- left to wonder if this would be the last time they would see their Penguins on home ice this season.
"We've got to restart after that game and that performance," Bylsma said. "We made some mistakes that allowed them to get up in the score. We got off our game plan, got off our game by trying to find some offense in the second half of the game. We got away from playing the way we need to play. I think the biggest thing is our attitude. That was a big adjustment for our team earlier in the season and that's what it's going to have to be. We reset, now we get refocused and now we go into Boston."

Sweeteners - Natural
Wilderness Family Naturals has a variety of natural sweeteners, from organic raw agave and raw honey to evaporated cane juice and sugar made from the sap of the coconut tree (called coconut sap sugar or evaporated coconut water). Each sweetener is processed as little as possible to bring our customers all the natural goodness they have to offer.
Agave Nectar
This raw, unrefined, natural sweetener is imported from Mexico. It is dark in color because it has not had any of the naturally occurring constituents that form during the fermentation process removed by filtering. While standard agave is made at 160 degree F and takes about 16 hours, this agave never gets above 104 degrees and takes 4-5 days to produce. The entire process is completely natural. No enzymes or bacteria are added. No heat is used. Inulin from the Pina of the Blue Agave plant is simply extrapolated into water by soaking and then naturally occurring enzymes contained in the pina break the inulin down into simple sugars over a period of days. You will not find a more natural, unadulterated agave nectar in America!
Coco Monkey
Coco Monkey is a unique sweetener. It is organic, sweet, and made from all natural ingredients while exhibiting no aftertaste or "twang". Coco Monkey is the first Organic, no fat, low calorie sweetener in the US. The small amount of calories in this product are from coconut fiber.
Coconut Sugar
Produced by collecting the flowing sap (coconut water) from coconut trees and simmering them until the sugars crystallize, this organic, artisan sweetener has the flavor of brown sugar with all the natural goodness of coconut water!
Coconut Syrup
This delicious syrup is great as a topping on desserts, ice cream, pancakes, oatmeal and all kinds of foods. You can use it in your homemade granola, apple crisp or gluten-free cinnamon rolls. Containing all the natural goodness of coconut water, this is a wonderful syrup to use in place of honey, maple syrup or molasses.
Wilderness Family Naturals' organic inulin has a neutral, clean, mildly sweet flavor. It is not nearly as sweet as sugar, but definitely enhances sweetness when added to foods. There are 10 grams of fiber in a one ounce serving.
Muscovado Sugar
This sweetener is made by soaking sugar cane and then simmering the sweet water until it crystallizes. Coconut Water and Philippine limes are used as antifoaming agents. The Filipino people have a great process for making this "raw" sugar because it does not have the strong flavor that similar products contain, nor the dark color. It tastes more like brown sugar than burnt sugar and I have not been able to find any "raw" cane sugar product that tastes as nice as this. That is why we import it from the Philippines!
Vegetable Glycerine
Made in the Philippines, this vegetable glycerine is made from coconut oil. Vegetable glycerine is actually the backbone of the triglyceride molecule and has a slightly sweet taste. When used in baked goods and bars it adds moisture and softness, but very few "useable" calories. Vegetable glycerine is commonly used in low calorie and diet bars for this reason. If can be used to sweeten tea, in lots of recipes and is much thinner in consistence than other sweeteners such as honey and agave. Shelf stable at room temperature.

VEF looks at Venture Capital Financing in 2011: Web Media and IT
At the end of 2010, the Venture Capital community was in a much better position than it has been in a long time by a variety of measures:
- double digit investment level increase across various industries
- a record number of venture-backed company exits
- a marked improvement in the IPO market
But have we moved beyond the financial crisis completely? Will these trends continue? What are VC's looking for in 2011? What is happening to valuations? And what's next?
On March 22nd the Vancouver Enterprise Forum is presenting a panel discussion on the outlook for Venture Capital Financing in 2011.
These questions and more will be addressed by a panel of US and Canadian Software and New Media Venture Capitalists including:
- Shawn Abbott - iNovia Capital
- Bill McAleer - Voyager Capital
- Tim Porter - Madrona Venture Group
- Divesh Sisodraker - Vanedge Capital
The panel discussion will be moderated by Tagga Media's Amielle Lake and include a Q&A session.

It seems this week is going to be my week of denouncing ultra-Orthodox Jewish misogyny—there have just been too many stories recently that get my activist blood going. And anyway, I've been accused of being both anti-Christian and anti-Catholic by commenters, so I should make sure to attack misogynist asshats of my own religion, right?
So…it's been a busy month of misogynist asshattery for the ultra-Orthodox, also known as Hasids and Haredim (I use the terms interchangeably). They're Jewish and I'm Jewish, but honestly, that's about where the similarity ends. In the big international Jewish family—which has way more ethnic and cultural diversity than most people realize—the Haredim are the angry, rant-y cousins who constantly embarrass me with their backwardness. I really don't want to invite them over for the holidays and I go out of my way to tell people "Yeah, they're technically relatives, but I'm NOT like them." But before we discuss the issues, I know some of y'all don't know much about Jews or Hasidic Judaism, so for you, a little primer.
The Hasidic movement sprang up in 18th century Eastern Europe and is theologically very fervent, charismatic and messianic, emphasizing the personal mystical relationship between God and the individual. It's a bit like evangelical Christianity that way. But although they have a rich theological tradition, Hasids are best known today for being extremely culturally conservative, which is why the men tend to dress in 19th-century European styles and why they choose to live mostly separate from mainstream society. Its religious fanaticism and contempt for modern culture make ultra-Orthodoxy very different even from mainstream Orthodoxy. A popular description of the difference between the two is this: "The Orthodox don't wear bikinis. The ultra-Orthodox don't want anyone to wear bikinis, so they close the beach."
Some Hasidim emigrated before World War II but the vast majority in the US are descended from a very small group of Eastern Europeans who survived the Holocaust and resettled here and in Israel (and to a lesser extent in Canada, the UK, and Australia). They're actually a fairly small percentage of Jews overall; Hasidim comprise less than 10% of the American Jewish population and about 10% of the Israeli Jewish population, although their very high birth rate means their population is growing significantly faster than non-Hasidic Jews'. They speak Yiddish as a common language, but the different Haredi sects trace their origins to distinct rabbinic dynasties in different parts of Europe, so there's a lot of cultural and theological variety among them. Some Haredim are Zionist, some are not; one of the largest sects, the Satmars, are actively anti-Israel, and will occasionally show up to protest at the Israeli embassy alongside pro-Palestinian groups, which can be highly entertaining to watch. Another big sect, the Lubavitchers, believe that their rebbe, Menachem Mendel Schneerson, was the Messiah and will return shortly to bring about the Messianic Age. (He died in 1994 and has not been seen since, so…draw your own conclusions).
Where I live in Brooklyn is surrounded by the largest Hasidic communities in the world: Williamsburg, Crown Heights, Flatbush, and Borough Park (the individual neighborhoods tend to be associated with different sects.) Brooklyn's Hasidic neighborhoods have become so crowded that some sects resettled a large number of families upstate, founding the towns of Kiryas Joel and New Square and overrunning the once sleepy rural town of Monsey (in 1950, Monsey had one synagogue. It now has 112.) Except for business dealings, they rarely interact with non-Hasidic Jews or gentiles, so although I'm geographically close by, and see members of the community on a daily basis, we don't mingle. I have been to the nearby Hasidic shopping district on the very rare occasions I buy kosher food, but frankly, the people were so unwelcoming that now if I buy kosher, I go out of my way to shop in a more distant neighborhood whose stores are run by modern Orthodox Jews.
Where I have a real problem with Haredi community is their constant and flagrant misogyny. Hasidic women are required by theology and custom to be submissive. They have few legal rights. Women's testimony is seen as inferior to men's in a rabbinical court. They cannot divorce their husbands, but if their husbands divorce them, they still require his permission to remarry. They are educated separately from men, and their education focuses on making them good, obediant wives and mothers, not academic achievers. They do not study Torah or Talmud as the men do and cannot serve as clergy. Some women do work outside the home, especially in family businesses, but most do not, especially as the average Haredi wife will have at least six children and is entirely responsible for the home. They must adhere to strict modesty laws requiring long sleeves, high necks and long skirts at all times. Most married women either cover their hair or wear sheitls, a wig usually cut in straight, chin-length bob. You see some of the same traits in modern Orthodox communities, but the Hasidic community is a closed one that demands complete conformity. If you aspire to higher education or a more secular life, if you don't want to have children or are gay or if you in any way fall outside the traditional feminine heteronorms, your life will be hard, if not downright miserable. Socially, there is almost no interaction between men and women except in carefully controlled circumstances (which is very unlike modern Orthodoxy). Some ultra-Orthodox communities take this separation to such an extreme that they will actually disappear women entirely from their local press, deleting them from photos and altering gender pronouns in news stories so as not to discuss women at all…even when the news stories are about women.
As a woman in the Hasidic world you'll be restricted in big ways, but you'll also endure an endless stream of little slights that remind you of your second-class citizen status. A story about one such appeared a couple weeks ago on the blog FailedMessiah.com, an incisive and influential watchdog site that frequently reports on the ultra-Orthodox community (its editor, Shmarya Rosenberg, is a former member of the Lubavitcher sect).
In the Hasidic section of Williamsburg signs were bolted to a tree that read in Yiddish: Precious Jewish Daughter: Please move to the side when a man approaches!
One of FailedMessiah's snarkier commenters thoughtfully translated the sign's true meaning for the rest of us: Step aside, bitch. You're in the presence of a PENIS. The Sacred Bobbed Dick makes its owner the Crown of Creation, Adonai's Vicar on Earth.
The mainstream media soon picked up the story of the step-aside signs. In a response on Ynet, the Israeli news website, Orthodox Rabbi Levi Brachman wrote:
The New York Daily News quoted 18-year-old Abraham Klein as saying, "The signs don't bother anybody," explaining that in his community "men and ladies don't go together. It's just our religion."
Many newspapers and blogs used this quote, thus, giving the reader the impression that the reason woman are asked to step aside for men in Hasidic communities has to do with Hasidic laws regarding modesty.
The Talmud indicates that the reason a man should not walk between two women has to do with the superstition that it may impair the man's ability to remember the Torah he learned.
It's like a couple of magnets and a floppy disk! Poof! Memory erased! He is powerless before those sexy women clad modestly in several yards of fabric and some wigs! All will be lost!!
Seriously, people? This is some embarrassing bullshit. And Rabbi Brachman knows it:
Asking all Jewish women, whether they keep to this tradition or not, to move to one side when men approach on a public street in New York City has nothing to do with Jewish law or modesty. Sadly, it rather has to do with a basic lack of Menschlichkeit (Yiddish for common decency) and Derech Eretz (loosely translated as polite and considerate behavior).
Still, a sign is a sign and can be ignored (or easily removed). There was an even bigger story in New York this week about the ultra-Orthodox trying to enforce gender segregation on public transportation. A Columbia University newspaper reported that a (non-Hasidic) woman had been ordered to move to the back of a public bus in Brooklyn. The bus line is mostly used by members of the Hasidic community, and in keeping with their rules about gender segregation, Hasidic women ride at the back and men at the front (presumably so that the men can't see the women and thereby risk losing all the Torah that they'd learned that day). When the rider objected and asked why she was being told to move, the answer was: "If God makes a rule, you don't ask 'Why make the rule?'"
The New York Times also ran an article, noting:
On Wednesday afternoon, the custom of women's sitting at the back of the bus was evident, both in practice and in writing.
Guidelines, posted in the front and the back, said that "when boarding a crowded bus with standing passengers in the front, women should board the back door after paying the driver in the front" and that "when the bus is crowded, passengers should stand in their designated areas."
Gawker ran their link to the story with a photo of Rosa Parks, and frankly, the Rosa Parks comparison is a fairly accurate one. Women are told to sit at the back of the bus by Hasidic men because Hasidim see women as inferior, just as black people were seen as inferior in the Jim Crow South. Problem is, this isn't the Jim Crow South, where local law permitted that kind of discrimination and the law itself had to be overturned. The law in this case forbids discrimination because the B110 bus is operated by a company that contracts with New York City Department of Transportation. It's a public service, and the DOT issued a statement saying that because the bus was available for public use, bus owners could not discriminate based on gender. Even Mayor Michael Bloomberg said such discrimination was "obviously not permitted" on public buses. "Private people: you can have a private bus," he said at a news conference, "Go rent a bus, and do what you want on it."
I may abhor the misogyny of the Hasidic community, but I don't oppose their right to practice their religion or culture in their own private spaces. I do, however, get extremely angry when they try to force women to submit to gender segregation on public transportation funded by my taxpayer dollars. I think the city should yank the contract from that company, and in a strongly worded letter sent this week, it seems they're investigating their options and confronting the bus operator itself.
Some members of the Hasidic community have asked for a religious exception, but have been reminded that freedom of religion only allows them to control their private spaces, not public ones. In Israel, similar gender segregation in the ultra-Orthodox Jerusalem neighborhood of Mea Shearim was held to be illegal by the High Court earlier this month. A city councilwoman there also invoked Rosa Parks's example: "If Rosa Parks succeeded in racist US of the 1950s, we in democratic Israel of 2011 must succeed too." It should also be pointed out that what the ultra-Orthodox are doing in Brooklyn actually goes against the millenia-old Jewish law of dina de-malkhuta dina, which says that that the law of the country where Jews reside is binding (the name translates as "the law of the land is the law.") . Legally, the Haredim are bound by Jewish law to accept US law in this regard.
But the line in the Times story that most stoked my anger was this:
One father who sat in the front with his son and daughter and declined to give his name said men and women "need to be separated." He looked down at his daughter dressed in a bright red raincoat, with her blue eyes frozen in amazement, and said: "She's small. When she's big, she will sit in the back."
When she's big, she'll be told to step aside when a man walks down the street. She won't have much autonomy or be able to hold any position of authority in her community. She'll told to cover up so that her body, which is for her husband only, won't tempt or distract any other men. What a promising future for Brooklyn's "precious Jewish daughters."

- Reality check: Some in the media are criticizing the US Open Series commercials for suggesting the players in the spots are playing the tournaments and coming to a town near you. Geez, if we believed that then we'd believe cavemen really were living in LA and starring in their own TV show. Get a grip.
- The NY Sun profiles Roddick's year so far, and gives us this stat: "Roddick has had one of the worst years of his career as a returner [...] This year, he has won only 17% of his return games, 5% less than last year. In the four return categories tracked by the men's tour — return games won, points won off first serves, points won off second serves, and break points won — Roddick ranks among the worst in the game. He doesn't break the top 50 in a single category and is ranked 60 or below in three of them." Coached by one of the greatest returners in the history of tennis, what gives?
- SI's Jon Wertheim services his men's and women's seed reports for the US Open...no surprise on the men's draw, but check out his semifinal bracket for the women...interesting.

Breakfast being on time is the best that can be said.
Table next to me complained that theirs was cold, received no apology just an arrogant grunt. Wifi details tucked out of sight. Kettle in room too large to fit in sink to fill. Shower flow minimal though hot enough. Decoration tired. Car parking for one car, however you are told to park down a narrow lane upto 300yards away. Owner clearly needs some basic training in customer relations. Shame as this B&B could be nice.

For those of you who know me (or at the very least read my blogs or tweets) you may recall that I am a fan of fiction. By virtue of my ethnic origins, I also bear more than a passing interest in fiction written by writers from the South Asian subcontinent. Including that written in English.
Indian authors have written in English for decades now. However, only recently has the work that they've produced taken on an international dimension; with the Indian community spread far and wide across the globe, publishers have discovered a new genre in fiction: the indubitable Indian Writing in English (henceforth known as IWE). This happy interest in all things Indian has also been mirrored by a growing non-desi interest in South Asian fiction. So just as much of Britain finds going for a curry part of the norm on a Friday night, so do literary types in Bloomsbury offices and Hampstead flats find reading the latest product of the dusty subcontinent gratifying in an intellectually suggestive way.
This international interest, has, of course, opened the flood gates to thousands of Indians, educated in the English language, to try their hand at writing the great Indian novel. (No, not The Great Indian Novel - that's already been written by some former UN bureaucrat) But what these poor souls, all frantically rushing to hurl their mediocre Indian childhoods into a word document, do a quick "Find - Replace" for major character names, and then add a title don't realise is that there are very clear rules to be a successful writer of Indian fiction in English. The title of IWE is not one lightly bestowed or easily won.
However, because I am a kind and nurturing soul, I've taken the liberty of codifying the main principles of how to write a novel in order to win the title of IWE. Stick to these, oh mediocre writer, and all will be well. Watch the plaudits come rolling in, the publishers lining up at your door, and the pundits gushing over your shoddy tale in the weekend edition of The Hindustan Times.

04/02/2012, Underway:
Good Afternoon All, We are underway, Sailing under sunny skies and a Southern Breeze pushing us along at 6.2 knots North. We departed Matanchen Bay after 3 days of surfing. Arrived Isla Isabella around 1400, the water was 78 degrees and 20' visibility. We dropped the anchor in 30' of water near the popular dive spot of Las Monas. It took us about 1.5 hours to clean the bottom of Wildflower. She desperately needed it. I desperately needed it too. I wanted her as fast as possible as we make our way across the Sea of Cortez towards the East Cape of Baja. After stowing the dive gear and preparing the boat for "Offshore" we pulled the hook at 1600. We've been sailing ever since we left. We will update tomorrow on our progress. We should make land fall day after tomorrow. I guess that makes it Wednesday.
03/30/2012, San Blas
Good Afternoon Everyone. Yesterday, we anchored back up at Punta Mita. and had a great visit with friends from Alameda. At 0630 we took off for points North. We have arrived in San Blas. (Matanchen Bay to be precise). And we are greeted with a perfect 3'-4' Break. I have never ever seen a surf break as far as this one does. Its got to be close to a mile ride! I was off the boat even before the anchor hit bottom. Perfect, easy rides. Reports say that the surf will build to 4'-6' tomorrow! I WILL remember to take the GOPRO for shots of this wave. You are NOT going to believe how far this thing breaks. Time for Dinner we'll post tomorrow, if our arms aren't too tired from surfing!
03/27/2012, La Cruz, Nayarate Mex
We're in old Banadaras Bay once again. We arrived Saturday Afternoon, Stayed one night out, then Sunday AM, came in to Marina La Cruz. We have been busy cleaning, doing laundry, rig tuning, catching up on sleep, and re provisioning. The weather is perfect (as usual). As it stands, we look to depart Thursday to head North. Then Maybe Saturday, we'll depart Mainland Mexico to cross back over the Sea Of Cortez.
Other than that, Lots of folks we know are around. So... we have to have Happy hour tonight and listen to a couple of bands play. Oh well, I guess we will survive. :-)
L8rs all.
03/23/2012, Ipala
We're anchored in Ipala, just Just South of Cabo Correntes. We tried to round her this Afternoon, but wind and waves pushed us back. we'll try to leave 0400, in order to round at first light. Beautiful day despite the lack of Northward progress. we'll update Manana.
03/22/2012, Chamela
Kind of a quite motor North to Chamela. Lots of Sea Turtles. No fish. 68 degree water. We haven't decided if we are staying a couple of days here or not. Guess we'll figure it out tomorrow.
03/20/2012, Tenacatitia
We got underway this morning from Barra Lagoon. As usual for us, we were smack on the nose to 4-6' Northerly Swell. So we put in to Tenacatita, 30 miles short of were we wanted to be (Chamela). Oh well, we scrubbed the Barra Lagoon Mud of the anchor gear and boat deck. Now we are off to have a nice SUP session at the river mouth. This is not a bad place to be holed up for a couple of days, in order to le the wind and seas subside. More later. Got to Go, Virg just put the swim ladder in!
