Top 10 Santana Songs
Musically, Santana were both part of and far removed from the San Francisco music scene they emerged from in 1967. They had hippie idealism down — their long, flowing jams were a defining part of the era. But they infused almost every one of their classic songs with driving Latin rhythms fueled by frenetic percussion. After a long period of experimental albums, mystical solo records by leader and guitarist Carlos Santana and commercial inactivity, a new version of the group rocketed to the top of the charts in 1999 in one of music's greatest comebacks. Our list of the Top 10 Santana Songs grabs a little from both periods.
"Hope You're Feeling Better"
One of Santana's toughest rockers from their early-'70s peak period, "Hope You're Feeling Better" was released as the third single from the band's hit second album. It's one of two Abraxas songs penned by keyboardist Gregg Rolie, who'd later form Journey from the same San Francisco scene that spawned Santana.
"The Game of Love"
Three years after Supernatural re-lit Carlos Santana's star wattage (see No. 3 on our list of the Top 10 Santana Songs), the guitarist returned with the same guests-swamped formula for Shaman. It worked: The album debuted at No. 1. Its best song, "The Game of Love," features Michelle Branch, a super-huge pop hook and the warmest and most fluid guitar Carlos Santana guitar solo in decades.
"Samba Pa Ti"
The only song credited solely to Carlos Santana on 1970's great Abraxas album is also one of his most gorgeous instrumental pieces. "Samba Pa Ti" has been well covered over the past 40 years, with other artists adding their own lyrics to the song, which has popped up in everything from books to TV shows.
"Jingo" started life as a song called "Jin-go-lo-ba," which appeared on Nigerian percussionist Olatunji's terrific 1959 album Drums of Passion. Like other world-music songs Santana covered in the '60s and '70s, their take on "Jingo" injects some San Francisco rock aesthetic into the universal groove. But the rippling percussion still drives the song … at least until Carlos Santana rolls in with an exquisite guitar solo.
"Everybody's Everything"
The lead single from the band's third album is more R&B-based than most of the songs found on its first two LPs (no surprise, since "Everybody's Everything" was actually borrowed from an obscure soul tune from 1967). In addition to the Tower of Power horns, who blast into the song like a raging storm, 17-year-old Neal Schon makes his debut, playing the guitar solo. A few years later, he and keyboardist Gregg Rolie would leave Santana and form Journey.
"Evil Ways"
Santana's first big hit — it climbed to the Top 10 around the same time the Woodstock movie broke the band — was one of two cover songs on their self-titled debut album (see No. 7 on our list of the Top 10 Santana Songs for the other one). But like most of the songs they covered, "Evil Ways" was a relatively obscure number before Santana transformed it into a monster rock hit complete with room-shaking organ and guitar solos.
"Soul Sacrifice"
The song that made Santana stars at Woodstock also ignites on record, ending their self-titled debut album with a six-and-a-half-minute explosion of percussion and searing guitar. "Soul Sacrifice" became a symbol of the group in its early days, encompassing Santana's Latin groove with big, fat organ fills and their leader's piercing guitar solos. It surges like few other songs from the era.
After 17 years away from the Top 40, Santana hooked up with a bunch of old friends (like Eric Clapton) and new superstars (like Dave Matthews) for the Grammy-hogging Supernatural — the group's first No. 1 album since 1971's Santana III. The ubiquitous hit "Smooth" (featuring Matchbox Twenty's Rob Thomas) stayed at the top of the chart for three straight months and on radio playlists even longer. It made Santana relevant again, and bigger than ever.
"Black Magic Woman"
Fleetwood Mac wrote and recorded "Black Magic Woman" in 1968, when they were still a cult British blues band. Two years later, on their second album, Santana pumped a Latin groove into the mix and took control of the song. For years it was their biggest single — reaching No. 4 — until "Smooth" made it to No. 1 during 1999's comeback (see No. 3 on our list of the Top 10 Santana Songs). It remains one of the most representative pieces of their signature sound.
"Oye Coma Va"
Latin-music legend Tito Puente wrote and recorded "Oye Coma Va" in 1963, but it's Santana's souped-up version from their second album, Abraxas, that most people know. Santana actually stick pretty close to Puente's original melody, replacing the mambo-style horns with searing guitar lines and rich organ fills. They ended up taking the song to No. 13 — not bad for a song sung in Spanish and inspired by a composition dating back to the '30s.

"Not my Favorite"
Let me begin by stating that I'm not really a fan of the body movers series (outside of the fact it's set in Atlanta), I much prefer her humorous romantic mystery standalones (Our Husband being my favorite, completely worth a credit). Whole Lotta Trouble is a little slow in parts and I'm not as invested in the characters as I would like to be. If you're new to this author, try Our Husband first.

In my opinion, Sangguniang Kabataan should be abolished. Una sa lahat, kung paghubog sa kabataan ang pinaguusapan, yes! nahuhubog sila alright, in a twisted way! Naeexpose sila sa maduming sistema na meron tayo ngayon. Kung iisipin mo, 15-17? Grabe. Napakadaling maimpluwensyahan. Napakahirap bumoses kung may mali sa sistema. Ang kaya lang nilang gawin ay mag-submit. Nagagamit pa nga sila eh! Natututo sila ng dirty tactics para manalo, at hindi lang yun! Nagaaway-away pa! Mga bata eh. Ang masama pa dun, naisasaksak nila sa isip nila na natural lang mangurakot, et al dahil ginagawa yun ng lahat. Well, it's not! Marami pa nga dyan na tumatakbo para sa popularity at sweldo. Tsk. Ganyan ba dapat ang mindset ng isang future leader? At ano nga bang naaaccomplish ng SK?? Sabihin nating meron(na hindi ko naman naramdaman kahit minsan). Pero hindi ba, yun na rin ang programs ng barangay? ng city hall? So, para saan ba talaga ang SK? Hinahamon ko sila, kung mabibigyan nila kami ng limang unique na bagay na ginagawa nila na hindi pwedeng gawin ng barangay and city officials, eh di sige, manatili sila. Isang malaking aksaya lang ng pera ang pondohan ang SK. Kung ako sa inyo, ipondo niyo na lang yan sa scholars.
This is a reply to the
This is a reply to the comment of joseph ocenar, Reformation!! para sa boses ng kabataan naman kaya nagkaroon ng SK,. tama nga sabi ni raynalyn na training ito para sa mga SK officers dahil pwd rin silang maging future leaders ng ating bayan. And mali agad satin, naghuhusga agad tau porket pinasok ang pulitiko KURAPSYON agad?. pwedeng nais lang ng pagbabago?.. Kaya para sakin dapat hindi matanggal ang SK.
This is a reply to the
This is a reply to the comment of joseph ocenar,. for me SK should not be abolished, because it's helps the youth to contribute to the community and also SK officers can see what other higher officials can't see in their barangay.
this is my reply to the comment of jhen
Abolition. kase base sa naoobserbahan ko ngayun .. may mga sk Chairman ang corrupt . hindi nila nahahandle ng maayus yung mga responsibilities nila .
This is in response to the comment of ymgjnim13
I disagree. And iyong mga sinabi ay pawang mga opinyon lamang at walang matibay na pruweba. Hindi natin masasabing madaling maimpluwensiyahan ang 17 anyos na pinuno ng SK. Hindi sila mga bata na kaya mong turuan na "tama" ang kurakot. Naalala ko noong ako'y nasa 15 anyos, ako ay laban sa korupsyon sa Pilipinas. Hindi mo din maaaring ikumpara ang mga proyekto ng SK sa mga proyekto ng barangay at iba ang mas matataas na posisyon sa gobyerno. Sila ay kabataan at hindi sila makagagawa ng proyekto na kayang bumago ng sistema. Ang tangi nilang magagawa ay tumulong sa kabataan bilang kabataan. Upang matulungan ang mga mag-aaral ng Management, mas makakatulong ba ang opisyal ng Engineering o opisyal ng Marketing? Alam mo ang sagot. Ngayon mas makakatulong ang kabataan para maibigay ang hinihingi ng kabataan. Kasama rito ang mga palaro, proteksyon sa kabataan, pakain, at iba pa.
Philippine Sangguniang Kabataan (SK): Should be abolished!
SK officials are youths, they are still in school, they cannot function well, and unprepared to discharge their duties. They should be focusing on their studies not in the world of politics. They should spent their time to study on their career.
SK should just be reformed.
As on my stand, I suggest that the Sangguniang Kabataan should just be reformed not to be abolished. For me, Sangguniang Kabataan is a training for our future leaders wherein a good guidance is needed for them to grow effectively and productively. They are not just echoes the side of the teenagers but they also see what a teenagers must have that doesn't see by higher ranks in our community.
Abolition. Wala namang napapala lalo na sa lugar namin ilang sk na umupo
this is the reply to the comment of Davecar.
I disagree to Davecar's comment. SK trains the youth to become good leaders of the community. This helps the SK to become good leaders and to hear others opinion so that there will be a understanding to each other that will help to provide a good relationship to their community.
This is the reply to the comment of Davecar.
I don't agree to Davecar. I know that youth should focus to their studies but SK can also help them as an individual. SK officers serve as the voice of the youth in their community. As an SK they should also be heard their voice in their community on what they needs and what they want.
A disagreement to the comment of Ma-Coy
I beg to disagree. Mgeexplain ako ng tagalog nlng ah? Hehehe. Para sken nman kasi sayang lang sa budget, na instead na para pa sa ibang bagay yung ginugugol na budget para sa SK. Like for example, ang SK, based on my observation, yung ngttour ang mga sk, kung saan2ng lugar sila napupunta, with allowance pa yun. So instead na sa ganun napapadpad yung pera, bakit hndi sa ibang bagay, tulad ng sa school, or pag may kailangang ayusin sa mga barangay, example kanal. Isa yan sa mga problema dito sa manda.
This is the reply to the comment of Davecar.
I don't agree to Davecar's comment. SK projects enhance the different skills and abilities of the youth. This will help the youth to build their skills and abilities because they have the responsibility. I can say that the youth can also enhance their time management skill because of having the responsibility in the school and the community.
SK - Reformation
this is my reaction to the comment of Raymond Cometa -for me it is REFORMATION because generation of today's youth have new and unique ideas in view of high education and credential that may contribute for the improvement of a barangay. To achieve this the local officials must support youth plataformas. As a citizen, we must vote the responsible one. We must not underestimate them. In our barangay our SK is such a good example, they give their best to achieve their goals and acquire support from people. At first implementing goals is not that easy, so we need to support them instead putting them in a bad side. we should accept the fact that our local officials cannot fulfill their responsibilities in a brgy so we need SK.
This is my reaction to the comment of Jhen
Abolition. Because they dont have enough skills and knowledge about politics, on how to handle problems of the baranggay,they are too young to make heavy decisions.
I think the SK should be abolish because they are easily influenced by some officials to do dirty works and that is why others say it is only a training ground for corruption and dirty deeds instead of good leadership in our barangays. If the youth is the future of our country, what will be the effect if they will be influenced by some corrupt officials? I think they should not be involve in politics at very young age.
This is my reaction to the comment of Jhen
I disagree with jhen . I think SK should be abolished . as I observed in our barangay simula nung naelect yung SK chairman samen parang wala pa syang project na napapatupad. masyado pa kase syang bata . wala pa syang masyadong experience pagdating sa leadership. based on this , I want SK to be Abolished .
My reply to the comment of Kervy
I think they should not be abolished instead they need reform. Because even if they are influenced by corrupt officials, it is up to them if they will follow that old system or not. If their intention is good, they will be more sensitive to know what is right from wrong. A good leader has a good heart and willing to serve the people with all his best.
My reply to Kervy
I disagree to him because even if you abolish the SK, it does not mean that the dirty works and corruption will end in our barangay.
My reply to the comment of Kervy
They should be reformed not abolished because our youth should be trained early in politics so that they cannot be easily influenced by some corrupt officials if they will continue in politics someday and will become a good leader someday because of the training and experience he had.
Reaction to Stevie
I Disagree, for me Sangguniang Kabataan should reform because from the word itself, means to improve or amendment of what is wrong, corrupt, unsatisfactory simply speaking there will be changes and a good leadership.
Reaction to Stevie
di ako sangayon sa komento mo, dahil sa aking palagay malaki ang maitutulong ng mga kabataan ngayon kasi masmalawak ang kanilang pagiisip at maaga sila mamumulat sa pulitika at mga problema na nangyayari sa ating kapaligiran. kaya para sakin reformation.
Reaction to Stevie
I Disagree, because giving the youth a voice in the government and teaching them about politics at a young age thereby helping them understand how the government works. We also know some of the victorious SK chairmain are not doing well or not doing their job, but because of this should we give up them?? of course NO!! according to Ejercito: To breed better politicians we should have better quality leaders from our youth who should take a proactive approach in these reforms. So for me SK should be reform.
Honestly, i can't decide on this. I want to hope that there is still a great chance for the SK's total reformation but in reality, we are facing the ugly truth.
Their actions are being influenced by what was happening around them. They are being trained or should i say, being "reformed" the wrong way.
Since, most of the teenagers i know who wanted to be an SK chairman, first wonder about the allowance. Is that so? This only shows how naive teenagers become in the field of politics. This may be an effect of corruption, otherwise, their personal problems.
Besides, did they really act as the voice of the youth? Or if they did, are they being heard?
Reformation will be meaningless if those who'er responsible for it are not really concerned about them. They might just become tools of corruption.
comment to ALmazan
Ate over ka naman. Abolition agad? Agad agad? Di b pwedeng give chance muna for them to change? Totoo po n madali ngang maimpluwensyahan ang kabataan but i believe n kapag pinangaralan naman sila ng wasto, for sure naman magkakaroon ng good reformation. X)
reaction to jinky
For me, it should be reformation so i disagree with jinky. The reason why the Youth Council has been established is that the government believes in the capability of the young to contribute a lot for the development of the state.
They see potential in us, and that potential is just initial, what they need to do is to give reformation through SK training. The government might be corrupt but still the decision is ours. We just need to think wise and become a better citizen.
disagree with jinky
I disagree with jinky. I go for reformation. There is still hope for the SK be reformed. It just happened that there are some local governments which are corrupt. The thing is, these young officers might become the cure through their voice and action upon what was happening in their brgy. Instead of being influenced, they can also influence the adults to a better way of governing.
This is in response to the comment of ymgjnim13
Reformed. SK gives window for the youth to practice their leadership. Being corrupt is a choice, not an influence. Being a useless SK is also a choice. We should not close the window for possible leaders just because the previous ones are failures.
Abolition, even though you
Abolition, even though you reformat the SK nothing will change. Corruption is still on.
Reform Sk
Wag naman siguro totally na i-abolish. Ibahin lang yung sistema. Dapat siguro iisang SK representative na lang sa kada barangay kasi yung iba naman na SK kagawads wala din namang ginagawa
This is in response to the comment of ymgjnim13
reformation. kasi, totoo naman na maganda na at a young age, sasanayin na ung kabataan sa pamumuno. Kelan pa sila sasanayin? Kung kelan matanda na. Kumbaga parang naiintindhan na nila ung mga sistema ng maaga. kesa mangangapa one day. at totoo na madumi na ang sistema ngaun at nagagamit lang cila. Dahil dun, kailangan ireform para mas kapakipakinabang ito. Pag nareform na, eh d maganda
Reformation, bakit hindi natin hayaan na mamulat na ang mga kabataan sa pagiging pinuno ng kanilang lugar. At ang SK din ang nagsisilbing boses ng mga kabataan sa kanilang lugar at sila din ang naghahain ng programa para sa mga kabataan.
REFORMATION: ang sagot ko kay Harris
Para sa akin repormasyon, hindi naman magagawang mangurap ng mga Sangguniang Kabataan kung hindi nakikita o tinuturuan ng iba pang nasa mataas na posisyon may kasabihan nga ang mga pilipino "ang gawi ng matatanda ay syang ginagaya ng mga bata". Sa mga isyu naman tungkol sa sk tulad nga ng kurapsyon, hindi magandang pamamalakad at wala pang sapat na kakayahan para mamuno, sa totoo lang ugali na nating mga pilipino ang magsalita at manghusga pero kung tutuusin wala at hindi naman tayo ang sa posisyon. Kung tatanggalin ang SK sino nalang ang magiging boses ng kabataan? Iba ang pag-iisip ng matatanda kesa sa mga kabataan dahil sa panahon ngayon aminin man naten o hindi tila bumabaligtad na ang mundo kabataan na ang ginagaya ng mga nakakatanda. Ako'y isa sa sk official, Oo mahirap pagsabayin ang pagiging public servant at pag-aaral pero nasa tao parin talaga ang pagbabalanse ng oras at nasa tao nadin o namumuno kung ilalagay nya ang sarili nya sa masama dahil TAYO LANG MISMO ANG NAKAKAKILALA SA SARILI NATEN.Sa sinabe at sagot ni Harris ako po ay sang-ayon.
For me, it's abolition. Gaya nga ng sabi ng iba ang SK ay isa lamang aksaya ng budget ng gobyerno. Ito rin ay makakaapekto sa kanilang pag-aaral. Marahil sila din ay matututo sa ibat ibang maling gawain na kanilang nakikita sa paligid.
reply to the comment of jerson
Abolition? Hindi ba dapat bigyan muna natin ng pansin ay yung mga mas nakakataas sa kanila? Hindi nman masama ang pagpapatupad ng SK, sabihin na nting gumagastos nga sila para dito at sa ibat ibang programa na ginagawa nila. Pero ito ay isang way para mas mahasa ang mga kabataan sa pagpasok nila sa pulitika.
This is in the reaction to the comment of Kathy.
Para sa akin, hindi naman lahat ng SK ay masasabi nating corrupt, kapag inabolish ang SK maaaring mawalan ng boses ang mga kabataan.
abolition.. para sa akin, hindi naman nakakatulong ang sk sa community namin eh. para nalang silang dekorasyon sa gobyerno. masabi lang na may boses ang kabataan. kahit wala naman silang nagagawa..
Even I really don't know what are the duties of an SK, it's reformation. As a youth it will serve as a training because in the future they are the one who will rule our country. And also SK serve as the voice of the youth, as a leader he/she can help his/her peer to enhance their skills through programs they are implemented.
Reformation also
Reply to Nicole. Sang-ayon ako sa kanya, kasi ang SK ang nagbibigay ng boses ng kabataan tsaka sila ang patunay na ang mga kabataan ngayon ay may pakialam na sa nangyayari sa lipunan.
Reaction to Nicole
I agree with her. We all know that SK serve as the voice of the youth. And I believe these has a positive outcome.
Reply to Nicole
Hindi po ako sang ayon na magkaroon ng Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) na yan. Unang una, bawas sa pondo lang ng pamahalaan natin yan. Parang wala naman silang naiaambag sa pagpapaunlad ng ating kumunidad. Puro paliga lang ng basketball and feeding program, kaya naman na yun ng mga konsehal. Yung pondong gagamitin pra sa sk, gamitin nalang sana nila sa mas magandang paraan.
Di dapat iabolish ang SK
Para sakin di lang nakikita siguro ng mga tao ang ginagwa ng SK dahil di naman ganun kalaki ang pondo nila para magawa lahat ng gusto ng mga tao, kelangan lang nila maging open kasi ang napapansin ko sa lahat ng magandang ginawa ng SK laging merong negatibong nasasabi ang mga tao, di nila napapansin ang tulong at benepisyo na naibibigay ng SK sa kabataan
This is my reply to adrian maranan
dapat tanggalin na sila kasi di naman sila nakakatulong kumukuha lang sila ng buwis at kinukurakot ito!
good afternoon mr.andrew do you think nakakatulong talaga sila???as far as i know maraming sk officials ang natututong mangorupt,kagaya na lang ng isa kong kakilala..nagyayaya siya ng inumankasi my pera daw siya kasi sahod nya na daw!!! siguro po di pa po time ng kabataan sa ganyang posisyon salamat po
Response to Mr. Carlo Berwite
I beg, I disagree in your opinion. SK or Sangguniang Kabataan are dependable leaders. They are dependable to what their guardian says. Not all but an age of 15-18 years old does not have an attitude of being a rational thinker for the welfare of his subjects. This SK is not a Practice ground that if you are failed then it is okay. This is a position entrust to a minor to lead his colleagues. There is also a funds that give to the SK to use it for the sake of his programs and platforms that we know it is not use properly. Yes, there's a theory that SK is one of the root of the corruption, teaching minors by his higher officials. I agree that abolishing SK does not mean it solve the problem of corruption but abolishing the SK can limit a small part of corruption or maybe a big part of it.
Abolish, SK could lead to more corruptions it is definitely the breeding ground for the corrupt youth, SK member who is only 15 does not yet have the capacity to enter into contracts. Since there are young, they are vulnerable to influence by adults.
reformation. ito n ung right
reformation. ito n ung right time para ang mga kabataang pilipino ay matuto ng mamuno at mging leader ng isang partikular n grupo o organisasyon. dhil s SK, ang mga kabataan ay ngsi2mula ng mging responsable sa knilang sarili, bayan at kapwa kabataan. dhil dito, nbibigyan ng pagkakataon n mtugunan ang bawat pangangailngan ng mga kabataan, hinaing at opinyon. dhil din s SK, natututo n amg mga kabataang pilipino n mging demokratiko at malayang makapamili at magdesisiyon kung sino ang dapat nilang ihalal. nabibigyan ng karapatan ang mga kabataan bilang isang tunay n pilipino.
because it is very helpful for the youth in a barangay, they always conduct a program or events to enhance our skills and talents. And we didn't all know that SK is being approach by those youth who needed financial support to pursue their study.
Reply to Donetello
dahil dagdag pondo lang yan para sa ating pamahalaan at hindi naman sila ganung nakakatulong sa ating komunidad
@Donetello sangayon ako sa komento mo dahil sa edad na 15-18 namumulat sila sa pulitika at malaki ang naitutulong nila sa mga batang wala kakayahang makapagaral. Nakakapag bigay aliw pa sila sa pamamagitan ng pacoconduct ng mga contest.
Comment to Donetello
abolition. base sa aking nakikita, hindi namamaximize and budget ng SK kaya dapat na itong iabolish. Parang lumalabas na ang mga kabataan na may tungkulin tulad ng SK ay natututo lamang mangurakot.

text: Smage Takes National Trials Opener Shan Moore | June 1, 2009Patrick Smage laid the groundwork for a third-straight national trials title by taking a pair of wins at the opening two rounds of the AMA/NATC National Trials Series in Nehawka, Nebraska. However, fellow Sherco rider Cody Webb, Gas Gas USA's Will Ibsen and Beta's Keith Wineland were not far off Smage's pace at the two-day event and left town confident they are still very much in the championship hunt with six rounds left on the schedule.During Saturday's event, on sections that rewarded precision over boldness, Smage considered himself lucky to have taken the win after a series of unforced errors left him considerably behind Ibsen and Webb at the end of lap one. Another five on the second section of lap two put Smage in an even deeper hole; however the Wisconsin native kept his composure and was within striking distance when both Ibsen and Webb faltered during the late stages of the event.After starting the event with several impressive rides, Ibsen took the early lead, holding a five point advantage over Smage and a three point advantage over Webb at the end of the first lap of competition. But Ibsen tightened up on lap two, and the college freshman doubled his first lap score, giving Smage just the opening he needed to take control of the trial. Webb also faded and Smage went on to win the event by a two-point margin over Webb with Ibsen finishing third another point back.At the end of the day, Smage was pleased with the outcome but not with his performance."It was a big surprise, I had no idea I had won," said Smage. "I had two stupid fives, one in section 10 and another in section two. They were pretty stupid and I knew it was close but I thought I would be in the bottom half of the group. I'm really glad I was able to pull it off and come back from the mistakes but I think the sections could have been harder. It looks good on paper but I definitely wanted to rider better."Smage's win on Sunday was more clear-cut, and he led from the start after Ibsen began the day with a five in the very first section after he broke a ribbon. Another five in section eight dropped Ibsen even further down the order and at the end of lap one it was Smage leading with six points followed by Webb and Wineland with 10.Smage increased his lead on lap two after cleaning every section but the notoriously difficult mud-hole section which claimed the maximum points from all riders through the first two laps.On lap three, Wineland and Webb turned in spectacular rides in the mud-hole section (both riders took ones becoming the only riders to even see the end cards), but it was not enough to catch the error-free riding of Smage, as Smage claimed his second-straight win with a total of 16 points, while Webb took second with 20. Wineland rounded out the podium with 27 and Ibsen was fourth with 35."I'm still not pleased with my riding at this point but I am pleased with having the lead in the series standings," said Smage. "I know now what I need to work on between now and Tennessee and hopefully I can improve on things before then."Shan Moore | Contributing EditorMoore covers all facets of off-road racing for Cycle News – from AMA Supercross and Motocross to GNCC and National Hare Scrambles events.

After studying the Technical Oversight Committee report, it emerged that the bidders did not meet the specifications of the two forces and (the deal) is expected to be aborted due to inconsistencies, highly-placed sources told FE. The two options before the IAF were the European Eurocopter and the Russian Kamov.
The deal was scrapped for the first time in 2007 after discrepancies were noted in the process and a new tender was floated. The acquisition of LUHs, which has been delayed for over four years now, is crucial for the Indian Army and the IAF as they aim to replace the ageing fleet of Cheetah/ Chetak choppers procured in the 1970s. Out of the 197 choppers, over 130 will go to the army and the remaining will be operated by the IAF.
Earlier this year, Eurocopter, which is competing with AS 350 Fennec chopper, had written to the army chief to clarify the time frame and speed up the acquisition process.
Eurocopter indicated that the technical evaluation process has taken over 38 months and not come up with a decision yet. The trials of the two helicopters, Eurocopters AS 350 Fennec and Russias Kamov 226 Sergei, were completed in December 2010 and the reports were submitted to the defence ministry in 2011.
The second tender was issued in 2008 but this also ran into rough weather after an anonymous letter received by the defence ministry alleged roles of arm dealers in the contract. The acquisition process of 197 LUHs will still take a long time as the next step in the process is opening of the commercial bids of the two contenders in the fray. Following that, a commercial negotiation committee will be constituted to negotiate with the lowest bidder, which will also be a time-consuming affair.
Sources confirmed "both the Eurocopter's Fennec and its competitor, the Russian Kamov Ka-226T, have not completely met the specifications. However, a technical panel has studied the deviations and made certain recommendations to the MoD. The decisions made have not been accepted by the Defence Acquisition Council, said the sources.

I will be making my very first beer mug cake this weekend and I was hoping to get some tips from fellow ccr's. I am planning on making the mug 8" round. I am wondering how many layers to make it. I was thinking 4. Do I need to dowel this cake if I do 4 or 5 layers? And how can I transport it safely because it will be so tall for the width of it! Also, I am thinking I will have to cover it in buttercream. Not sure If fondant will work, I have had trouble with "horizontal fondant" before! Last question I promise!!!! How to I make the handle!?!? I'm thinking if I make it out of gumpaste or fondant it will just be too darn heavy and the cake will not support it! Just very nervous about this one. Making it for a very important person in our town (the mayor)
Thank you all for your help!!!
If you make it 4 layers, it will only be about 9" tall, but beer mugs are taller than they are wide. How about 6 layers - or, if size doesn't matter, make it 4 layers, but with 6" cakes. I don't know what to tell you about covering it, but you might make the handle out of RKTs iced in royal icing (to smooth out the bumps) and then covered in a thin layer of gumpaste. It wouldn't weigh as much that way. Sounds like a fun project!
I have made this cake 3 times. I use 4- 6 inch cakes torted and filled. I also always dowel this cake because of the transport. I have used buttercream all three times to cover it and usually make the handle out of gum paste with long skewers in each end because I have had it pull away from the cake. I tried rct but it fell apart. Here is a link to one, it's not perfect but hopefully it helps!
Cool cake, craise79! Are you actually trying to tell me that that's buttercream? I'm SO impressed! Good to know about the RKT handle and that the gumpaste one wasn't too heavy!
I did my first one awhile back and I had a fit with it!!! First let me say I was very new to cakes, and I do NOT work with fondant nor do I like it...lol.
My cake is all bc, the only thing fondant is the handle, which didnt set firm, I forgot the tylose or gumpaste but it came out ok...and the tag with the name.
4- 6" cakes, with the top one I baked some cake in a pyrex bowl to give it the dome effect, I airbrushed it, and I did labels on my printer out of icing sheets. There's a dowel through the beer can, with the top having a notce to hold the beer can right on the lip of the can, covered in fondant....
Which I knew then what I do now...would have been alot better! lol Oh well it was for family and you would have thought I was holding the world on my shoulders...lol
This cake must feed 40 people. I'm afraid that if I do the (4) 6" cakes it will not feed enough people.. I'm also afraid if I do (6) 8" cakes there will be too many servings left over! What do you all think? I might try the RKT covered in gumpaste. Hopefully it the handle will not pull away from the cake. And I have decided to ice it in buttercream,
Only question I still have is about the dowels... do I need to separate 2 of the layers with cardboard? and dowel it? or can I just push a dowel down the center of the cake.
I made a 4 layer beer mug with 6 inch rounds and thought it had just the right proportions. Maybe you could add cupcakes to make up for more servings? You could make them like mini beer mugs by creating a mini handle on the cupcake liner perhaps.
I had a carboard round in between the 2nd and 3rd layers, but being new to this...I don't think I doweled the bottom 2 layers. If I did, I didn't do it right because the next morning the cake had sagged severely and was stunted for sure. Awful!
I had a solid gumpaste handle with skewers sticking out of it and overnight it fell out of the cake and refused to stay in after that. I would go as light as possible if you can. Maybe a candy clay handle with longer skewers would work better?
Good luck!
I don't know what to suggest about the sizes of the layers - six 6" rounds would give you 36 servings, but it might be too tall for the diameter. I would definitely put a cardboard round in every 2 layers and put straws or dowels in all but the top 2. Also, the handle might stay in better if the skewers are as long as possible and if you coat them with melted chocolate just before you put them into the cake. Also, I'd say prop the handle up with something until just before delivering/serving it so it won't sag if you have to leave it overnight. That would also give the chocolate a nice lot of time to dry.
I also like the idea of small cup cakes around the mug to match the beer mug, or even a small cake that is a pizza, you know beer and pizza...to make up the difference in the amount of cake slices needed.
That's it, 2txmedics! I was trying to think of something that she could do to make up the servings, but which went with the beer mug theme. Pizza is perfect! Would you be up for that, alicialee?

Product Description
This Bilstein Shock Absorber is designed for Mercedes R350s from the years 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010. Shock Absorbers operate as large springs and look a lot like hydraulic pistons, passing liquid from one chamber to another which dampens jolts and jars as the vehicle moves. Shock absorbers are found in two basic varieties: spring-based shock absorbers which contain metal leaf springs, and torsional shock absorbers which employ a torsion bar. Quality Shock Absorbers reduce motion caused by bumps in the road to deliver a more comfortable ride. Your vehicle's Shock Absorber is a coil within a cylinder which helps the vehicle's suspension. The reliable Shock Absorber offers augmented suspension stability and augmenting the handling of the car or truck. Installed between your suspension and the body of the vehicle, Shock Absorbers absorb the bouncing movement of the vehicle. Mercedes R350s from the years 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010 will work with this Shock Absorber. Different vehicles are unlikely to be compatible, and this Shock Absorber is not designed to be installed on those vehicles.

Thing Statistics
Slixtar is a 3D printed MIDI controller. You can customize and configure it anyway you want. You 3D Print the case, get the compontents and assemble everything yourself. You can porgram the Makey Makey and Flora to do anything you want!
Slixtar is a change from the typical midi boxes with square buttons on a grid. The form factor allows you to stand up and shred like a musician. Break away from the square buttons and keys and jam out. The configuration is customizable so you can make it just for you. Great for live performances, sequencing and producing.
Parts List:
1 MakeyMakey
1 Adafruit Flora
4 Neo-Pixels
1 Audio Mic
4 Arcade Buttons
6 LED Push Buttons
1 Lithium Battery
1 Tactile On/Off Switch
The MakeyMakey can be used to configure up to 12 buttons. LED push buttons can be powered by V5, D14 and D16 pinsrespectively. Using the Arduino IDE, you can remap pins A0-A5 to be used as additional keys. Using a virtual midi app like vmpk, you can map MIDI CCs and notes to the MakeyMakey. You can use Garageband or Ableton Live to play back samples, play virtual synths and even DJ. You can configure the buttons to do whatever your imagination can come up with. Make it yours!
The FLORA can be used to power 4 Neo-pixel LEDs that can animate to the sound it detects from the audio mic, acting as a level meter! Using the open source code from Adafruit, you can easily configure the FLORA. The Neo-pixel LEDs are also completely configurable!
20% Infill
2 Shells
240c Extruders
80/100 mm/s Speed
The total print time is about 10 hours but your results may vary.
The body frame and neck frame will be held together by 4 3/8 pan phillips screws. The body and neck front covers snap tightly into the frame. Each LED button will require 4 wires. The Arcade buttons only require 2 wires each. All of the wires require soldering into the contacts of each button.
Once the frames and from covers are assembled and all of the buttons are mounted, measure the length of the wires required for each button. The MakeyMakey micro-controller snuggly fits into the top left of the body. Pins D0-D5 and A0-A5 will be used for wiring up each button. To wire the LED buttons, use D14, D16 and 5V respectively. Label each wire before soldering any connections. Test out the MakeyMakey connections with alligator clips or wrapping wires to all the contacts.
Audio Mic & Neo Pixels
The Flora micro-controller will power 4 neo-pixels and 1 audio mic. Daisy chain the neo-pixels using wire. Measure and wire up the neo-pixels to D6, GRND and VBATT pins. Use pins 3.3v, GRND and D9 to wire up the micro to the flora. Use a hot glue gun to keep the neo-pixels and audio mic from dislodging while playing. The tactile on/off switch will need to be connected to the lithium battery. The tactile switch clips onto the bottom of the neck back cover and connects to the flora.
Mapping MIDI
Connect the MakeyMakey to your computer with USB. Download Ardiuno IDE and the MakeyMakey scratch code to modify the key settings. Use Ardiuno IDE to edit the settings file to your desired keyboard characters. You can use a virtual midi app like VMPK to map keyboard characters into MIDI notes or CCs.

That's what D.J. finds out from his encounters with Vince, a smart-aleck classmate whose biting humor is more hurtful than funny. With the help of his dad and teacher, D.J. learns how to stand up to put downs and make healthier friendship choices.] [In Spanish - Solo Bromeaba
Trouble Talk [Maya's friend Bailey loves to talk about everything and everyone. At first, Maya thinks Bailey is funny. But when Bailey's talk leads to harmful rumors and hurt feelings, Maya begins to think twice about their friendship. Acquaints readers with the damaging consequences of "trouble talk"--talking to others about someone else's troubles in order to establish connection and gain attention. Includes additional resources for kids, parents, and teachers, as well as advice from Trudy about how to combat trouble talk.]
Confessions of a Former Bully [After Katie gets caught teasing a schoolmate, she's told to meet with Mrs. Petrowski, the school counselor, so she can make right her wrong and learn to be a better friend. Bothered at first, it doesn't take long before Katie realizes that bullying has hurt not only the people around her, but her, too. Told from the unusual point of view of the bullier rather than the bullied, Confessions of a Former Bully provides kids with real life tools they can use to identify and stop relational aggression.]
Better Than You [Jake's bragging is really starting to get to his neighbor Tyler. Tyler can't show Jake a basketball move, a school assignment, or a new toy without Jake saying he can do better. Tyler starts to wonder: Is something wrong with him? Is he really such a loser? Is Jake really better than him at everything? Or is Jake the one with the problem? With the help of his uncle Kevin, Tyler begins to understand that Jake's bragging has nothing to do with Tyler's own abilities and that puffing yourself up leaves little room for friends.]

yours truly janice :) :)
Bye india
by Maya Angelou
Traveling through causal space
Past aloof stars, across the way of indifferent suns
To a destination where all signs tell us
It is possible and imperative that we discover
A brave and startling truth
And when we come to it
To the day of peacemaking
When we release our fingers
From fists of hostility
And allow the pure air to cool our palms
When the curtain falls on the minstrel show of hate
And faces sooted with scorn are scrubbed clean
When battlefields and coliseum
No longer rake our unique and particular sons and daughters
Up with the bruised and bloody grass
To lie in identical plots in foreign lands
When the pennants are waving gaily
When the banners of the world tremble
Stoutly in the good, clean breeze
When we come to it
When we let the rifles fall from our shoulders
And children dress their dolls in flags of truce
When land mines of death have been removed
And the aged may walk into evenings of peace
When religious ritual is not perfumed
By the incense of burning flesh
And childhood dreams are not kicked awake
By nightmares of abuse
When we come to it
Then we will confess that not the Pyramids
With their stones set in mysterious perfection
Not the Garden of Babylon
Hanging as eternal beauty
In our collective memory
Not the Grand Canyon
Kindled in delicious color
By Western sunsets
Not the Danube flowing in its blue soul into Europe
Not the sacred peak of Mount Fuji
Stretching to the rising sun
Neither Father Amazon nor Mother Mississippi who, without favor,
Nurture all creatures in the depths and on the shores
These are not the only wonders of the world
When we come to it
We, this people, on this minuscule and kithless globe
Who reach daily for the bomb, the blade, the dagger
yet who petition in the dark for tokens of peace
We, this people on this moat of matter
in whose mouths abide cantankerous words
Which challenge our existence
Yet out of those same mouths
Can come songs of such exquisite sweetness
That the heart falters in its labor
And the body is quieted into awe
We, this people, on this small and drifting planet
Whose hands can strike with such abandon
That in a twinkling, life is sapped from the living
Yet those same hands can tough with such healing, irresistible tenderness
That the haughty neck is happy to bow
And the proud back is glad to bend
Out of such chaos, of such contradiction
We learn that we are neither devils or divines
When we come to it
We, this people, on this wayward, floating body
Created on this earth, of this earth
have the power to fashion for this earth
A climate where every man and every woman
Can live freely without sanctimonious piety
And without crippling fear
When we come to it
We must confess that we are the possible
We are the miraculous, the true wonders of this world
That is when, and only when
We come to it.

Former bartender Tim Vaske says one of the reasons he quit his part-time job at a Haymarket pub was because of second-hand smoke.
Vaske says the Lincoln City Council should pass a smoking ban to protect others like him, who are at risk every day on the job.
Lincoln/Lancaster county health officials say Vaske's fears are well founded. The health department says there are more than 30,000 chemicals in cigarette smoke alone and that the air inside a smoking establishment can be up to 1,000 times as polluted as outside air.
The city council hopes to have a polished smoking ban compromise ready to vote on during their Dec. 15 meeting.

Overview of Tobacco Use
- Tobacco use remains the leading preventable cause of death in the United States, causing more than 400,000 deaths each year and resulting in an annual cost of more than $50 billion in direct medical costs.
- Each year, smoking kills more people than AIDS, alcohol, drug abuse, car crashes, murders, suicides, and fires combined.
- Nationally, smoking results in more than 5 million years of potential life lost each year.
- Approximately 80 percent of adult smokers started smoking before the age of 18. Every day, nearly 3,000 young people under the age of 18 become regular smokers.
- More than 5 million children living today will die prematurely because of a decision they will make as adolescents, the decision to smoke cigarettes.
- Approximately 10 million people in the United States have died from smoking-attributable causes. Two million of those deaths, more than the population of Houston, have been from lung cancer alone.
- American smokers have consumed 17 trillion cigarettes. If laid end to end, those cigarettes would cover 900 million miles (a distance long enough to circle the Earth and Jupiter in certain alignments) or circle the earth at the equator more than 36,000 times.
- Almost two million Americans have not died from smoking-attributable diseases as a result of decisions they have made to not start or to discontinue smoking.
- About 48 million American adults smoke, but approximately 42 million more would have smoked without smoking prevention activities.

JERUSALEM (Jan. 5)
The chairman of the Jewish Agency announced today that slightly more than 40,000 immigrants arrived in Israel during 1969, about 10,000 more than expected when the year began. Louis A. Pincus said at a news conference that 40 percent of the newcomers last year were from Western countries which "is a very big step forward as regards the quality of manpower being made available through immigration."
Mr. Pincus credited the Jewish Agency's immigrant absorption department for what he called an "unprecedented upswing of those who come voluntarily from affluent countries." Replying to questions, he said Deputy Premier Yigal Allon's view that the Government's Absorption Ministry should take over the entire immigration and absorption process was "unrealistic." Mr. Allon made such a proposal when he headed the Absorption Ministry in the old government last year. He is now Minister of Education but sits on the joint Government-Jewish Agency committee on immigration. The Jewish Agency is responsible for the immigration process and the initial absorption of newcomers. The Government assumes responsibility for the later stages. Mr. Pincus contended that the Absorption Minister has so far not been able to fulfill his responsibility with regard to finding jobs and permanent housing for immigrants.
He said that in 1969, 6,500 immigrants came from North America, 5,400 from France and about 2,000 each from Great Britain and Latin America. He said 60,000 immigrants are expected during 1970.

Samsung, Acer Google Chromebooks Now Available for Pre-Order
Google Chromebooks from Acer and Samsung are now available for pre-order via Amazon and Best Buy.
"Nothing but the web: Samsung & Acer #Chromebooks now available for pre-order from @Amazon and @BestBuy in the US," Google tweeted yesterday.
Neither site mentions an exact ship date, except to say the devices are "coming soon," but Google said during its recent press event that the Chromebooks would be available starting June 15.
Amazon has 3G and Wi-Fi devices from Samsung and Acer, while Best Buy is stocking both Samsung Chromebooks. All are available in or white or a black-silver color.
The 3G Acer Cromia is selling for $449.99, while the Wi-Fi version will set you back $379.99. It includes an 11.6-inch HD display, a 16GB hard drive, 1.66-GHz processor, 64MB of RAM, two USB ports, and about six hours of battery life.
The 3G Samsung Series 5 costs $499.99, while the Wi-Fi version is $429.99. It includes a 12.1-inch HD screen with 1,280-by-800 resolution, 2GB of memory, a 16GB hard drive, a 1.66-GHz Intel Atom processor, two USB ports, and about 8.5 hours of battery life.
For more, see PCMag's hands on with the Samsung Series 5 Chromebook and the slideshow below.The pre-orders come after a Salt Lake City-based company filed suit against Google, arguing that it has the rights to the Chromium name, and by default, Chromebook and Chromebox. ISYS Technologies wants a Utah district court to stop Googleas well as partners Acer, Amazon, Best Buy, and Samsungfrom marketing and selling Chromebooks.
IFixit this week also released its teardown of the Samsung Series 5 Chromebook, which it said was a "well-polished version of the rather imperfect Cr-48 prototype Chromebook."

Penguin couple married in bizarre ceremony ahead of Valentine's Day
A pair of penguins were married in a bizarre ceremony ahead of Valentine's Day at Shanghai Ocean Aquarium.
Staff at the zoo decided to put on a show for visitors by setting up a wedding for a loving penguin couple, named Xiaobai and Xiaoxue.
To add to the spectacle, the two Humboldt penguins were carried from their enclosure to the wedding ceremony in a miniature remote-controlled car.
Rather than wedding rings for their flippers, the love-up pair were given flowers to put around their necks.
Excited visitors to the zoo then gathered to take pictures of the newlyweds.
One of the penguin keepers said: 'First of all, Valentine's Day is coming up and we can feel this festival approaching us.
'Our aquarium, looking from the viewpoint of our marine species, decided to stage a wedding for this penguin couple.
'They are one of the few in the animal kingdom that are monogamous, which is similar to us, human beings. So we hope that through this event, everyone will feel love is in the air.'

With both Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 scheduled to launch later this fall, it's not much of a shock to learn that Microsoft is developing a new 'Modern UI'-based Windows 8 app that will serve as a companion product for people who own Windows Phone devices.
The Verge reports, via unnamed sources, that Microsoft will have the Windows Phone companion app (which apparently doesn't have a proper name yet) ready to download from the Windows Store when a Windows Phone device is connected to a Windows 8 product. The screenshot shows content from a Windows Phone being displayed within the Windows 8 app.
The app will reportedly allow owners of those products to quickly access content in their phones, such as photos, videos and music, on a Windows 8 PC or tablet, replacing some of the functionality currently available in the Zune PC application. Windows 7 users won't be left in the dark; the article claims that Microsoft will also launch a new desktop software product that will handle the same duties as the Windows 8 "Modern" app.
We might learn more about how this Windows Phone companion app works later this week when Nokia and Microsoft host a press event in New York City on Wednesday.

ATLANTA, July 8, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Alimera Sciences, Inc., (Nasdaq:ALIM), ("Alimera"), a biopharmaceutical company that specializes in the research, development and commercialization of prescription ophthalmic pharmaceuticals has submitted a Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) to the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) in the United Kingdom (UK) for Iluvien® (fluocinolone acetonide intravitreal insert). Iluvien® is Alimera's investigational, sustained drug delivery system that releases sub-microgram levels of fluocinolone acetonide for the treatment of diabetic macular edema (DME). The MAA is being submitted through the Decentralized Procedure with the UK MHRA as the Reference Member State (RMS). Applications have also been submitted to the following other Concerned Member States (CMS) in the European Union: Austria, France, Germany, Italy, Portugal and Spain. "This MAA submission closely follows the submission of our NDA to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration last week, and marks an important first step toward the availability of a sustained release treatment for DME patients in Europe," said Dan Myers, president and CEO of Alimera. "We anticipate that Iluvien®, if approved, will be welcomed by physicians and patients alike as a much-needed, long-term alternative to the multiple injections of corticosteroids and anti-VEGF therapies currently used off-label for DME." Alimera is currently conducting two Phase 3 pivotal clinical trials (collectively known as the FAME Study) for Iluvien® involving 956 patients in sites across the United States, Canada, Europe and India to assess the efficacy and safety of Iluvien® with two doses, a high and low dose, for the treatment of DME. The primary efficacy endpoint for the FAME Study is the difference in the percentage of patients whose best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) improved by 15 or more letters from baseline on the ETDRS eye chart at month 24 between the treatment and control groups. The study will conclude later this year with the final patient visits at the three-year data point.

Similar experience with an old homeschooling mom friend on my wall yesterday. Her daughter created a paper banner American Flag and insisted her mother pledge to 'it' every day. Mother was perplexed. This is basically what i wrote.:
Mmm..oth…er than you (possibly) being aware of the 'inclusion' of God in "The Pledge" from enthusiastic cultural and religious sects…(Heavily Christian fraternal K. of C. among others) in 1954..(yea..dreaded Communism)….
there is no need to be too anxious.
I always told my (young) kids…some folks believe there is A God/God(s), some do not. While this usually led to 'other' conversations..it (hopefully) left them with a sense of doing /saying what they felt was 'right' for them, while being present amongst those within a more conformist mind-set, (public school).
Your kids like many of ours, understand about people's differences, tastes..and how to be respectful and tolerant of them. It is a fine line, teaching our children to be intelligent, free-thinkers while not bearing down on the 'perceived' wrong-doings of others. Lead, as I'm sure you've always done, with a basis of compassion as a guide.
BTW,..THIS one is by my bedside, from a small and colorful compilation, "Return of the Great Goddess":
"A Pledge of Allegiance to the Family of Earth"
I pledge allegiance to the Earth,
and to the flora, fauna
and human life that it supports,
one planet, indivisible,
with safe air, water and soil,
economic justice, equal rights,
and peace for all.

Home invasion by cops?

I know the answer to one problem. If you keep a sidearm for defence, it's not worth a dime sitting on top of a closet shelf. I can't give you an answer that might fit you states laws. I'm pretty much confined to a power chair or my recliner. As such any child with a wet noodle could get away with any thing they wanted to. The only thing that would prevent it is my young spirit, my poor sleeping hours and my Colt Combat Commander in a .45 ACP. The one in the spout and seven in an eight magazine that reside in the butt of the grip might offer some punctuation as well. Home invasion is becoming a quickly climbing crime statistic. You ignore that fact at your peril.
I have decided on a course of action for myself.
At the first hint of trouble Mr. Colt comes to hand. If I don't hear someone outside yelling police, I shoot at the first thing through the door. If I do hear the word police, I yell back I have a gun. During this time my wife, Kathy, has been calling 911. When they answer we tell them what is happening and ask if the people at the door are police and if not send help, if they are police I notify those outside that they have been vouched for, and to come on in, and place the Colt on the floor. This may not be the best way to handle the problem, but it is the best that I can come up with
As I said this may or may not work by your law. I'm not 100% sure it will work by New Mexico law, but it's the best I can think of where everyone goes home at night.
Have a nice day. Good luck and God bless.
