Those of you who have known me since early on in my career as an "infosec guy" know that I have always been very critical of Microsoft. Between the days of Information Anarchy, my old school rants and the "AusCERT Incident" I have always been ready to pounce on the boys in Redmond when I felt that they were being shady or crossing a line. That said, those that know me also know that I am a reasonable person and won't jump on someone just for the sake of jumping on them.
Sadly, I am a sheep, and like most of you, I am on Facebook. One of my Facebook (and professional/real life) friends is Ryan Naraine over at eWeek. I noticed his status late this week was – "Dave Litchfield is also wrong – http://www.davidlitchfield.com/blog/archives/00000038.htm"
So, wondering what the next Information Security drama was I headed over to Dave's BLOG (which I didn't know existed till now and I highly recommend it) and gave the post a read. It seems that the hoopla is all about the Secure Development Lifecycle and counting vulnerabilities. Dave's post was simply a response to this post by Peter Lindstrom who is apparently some sort of analyst.
I have been on all ends of the security puzzle. Two of those many ends are the vendor and, of course, the vulnerability researcher. Based on my experiences I feel that I have a good insight in to not only the vulnerability reporting process but also the Security Development Lifecycle. In fact, with all due respect to Dave and Peter, I think I have a much clearer insight than the both of them.
Let me say this right now. SDL works.
You name the major vendor – Microsoft, Apple, IBM, HP, VMWare, etc… I have worked with them on getting vulnerabilities fixed and I have been doing so at different times during my 15 year career. I was sitting at the lunch table in the 90s when a Sr. Microsoft executive looked at a group of researchers and said "If I had my way people like you would be in jail". I was there when Scott Culp during his MSRC days called every Security Researcher a Terrorist. I have also watched the vendor everyone loves to hate — Microsoft — take a complete 180 on their security philosophy.
So before you comment calling me a fan boy let me say this. Is Microsoft perfect with how they deal with security vulnerabilities and bugs? No, they are far from it. But, they are better than the majority of the vendors I have had to deal with.
Apparently what caused the drama amongst security bloggers was this comment:
Microsoft has systematically hired and/or contracted with every one of their most vocal critics (and most seasoned bugfinders) to do the work behind the scenes and they don't count those vulns!
Dave Litchfield, who has a sucessful company in the UK, took offense to this remark. To be honest, I don't blame him. Dave is best known for being the guy that completely destroyed Oracle Security as well as a few really good Microsoft bugs found by him and his team over at NGSS. It is also common knowledge that NGSS does a bit of work for Microsoft on MS SQL that happens to fall into Microsoft's SDL process.
Peter on the other hand, with all due respect and to the best of my knowledge, has never found, reported, or fixed a security vulnerability before. In fact, even on his own blog he says the following:
"I have very little security background or knowledge"
Don't get me wrong. I have met Peter, once, and he seemed like a cool enough guy and someone that does in fact have more than a little security knowledge so I am not trying to pick on him but in this case he is blatantly wrong.
Ok lets be fair, he is not blatantly wrong. He is three-quarters wrong. Let's look at his statement again:
Microsoft has systematically hired and/or contracted with every one of their most vocal critics (and most seasoned bugfinders) to do the work behind the scenes and they don't count those vulns!
The first part is close to being right. I wouldn't say that Microsoft has hired every critic (if so where the hell is my check?) but they have hired/contracted most (perhaps only the good ones thus no check for me heh) SECURITY RESEARCHERS that have been successful in finding bugs in Microsoft software. Note I did not say CRITICS as it is easy to be a critic and it is very hard to be a Security Researcher.
The part of the statement above that is laughable is the fact that it is an issue that Microsoft does not count any vulns found by their contract QA Engineers (hey security guys, we are really nothing more than QA). All I can say here is no shit they don't count them. I know those of you who are are developers on commercial products are laughing at the thought of this right now. But, could you imagine if every bug you found in your development lifecycle (which included the security component) had to be reported to Mitre, assigned a CVE, then counted publicly. Not only would development time triple, but you would find yourself flooding those that count vulnerabilities with a whole lot of useless information.
(I know this post is getting long, for that I apologize, I am drinking my favorite drink (crown royal, 7-up and cranberry) while watching the UFC pay per view so I will try to end this quickly. By the way, my money is on Serra not St. Pierre — yes I know I am going against the fellow Canadian.)
Perhaps we need to rethink our definition of a vulnerability to put this into the proper context but a bug found internally during the development process is not a vulnerability and therefore should not be counted.
The vulnerabilities that need to be counted are the ones that actually affect the end users and can compromise the security of those end users. The "vulnerabilities" found during the SDL should not have to be public as they do not affect the public in the least.
It really is that simple folks and I am kind of surprised that after all this time we are still arguing about such a thing. So yes, much like the tree falling in the forest… no one hears a vulnerability that is fixed during the SDL process nor should they.

Obviously what you are doing right now is called (in my upcoming book of psychology at least) validation. I think it's a normal thing to do. People will reply, say anything, and then you're gonna do what you were subconsciently thinking of doing all along.
I've seen him live twice, one with the acoustic band and one with the electric, both kicked ass.He also did what pete mentioned with the acoustic band, he's one of the best musicians around I think.Reinhold, is he playing solo? Whatever the case don't miss it.

How to Dance with a Duke by Manda Collins
Miss Cecily Hurston is determined to clear her ailing fathers name of murder by gaining access to the elusive Egyptian Club, obtaining his journals and decoding them (as she is a mastermind at codes). Only one small problem....she is female and the club is only for males and their spouses. So what is a wallflower (who is stuck with the unflattering nickname of A Ugly Duckling along with her two cousins) and bluestocking to do? Find a husband that won't mind her scholarly pursuits and get inside that club. But another small problem arises and that is in the form of Lucas Dalton, Duke of Winterson.
Winterson also has an agenda that includes Cecily's father but he is on the other side of the fence. Winterson's brother, Hurstons assistant, has been missing ever since the last excavation and Hurston seems to be the only one that knows what could have happened to him. Since Hurston is ill and unable to communicate, Winterson also wants the journals to dig for clues for his brothers whereabouts and when Cecily's plans become know to him, he reluctantly agrees to help her sift through the eligible men. There is, naturally, a problem with that as our couple already has quite an attraction for each other and Winterson has a hard time imagining another man with this bossy, clever, headstrong female.
Overall, this truly was a delightful book! I was drawn to Cecily from the first page and drawn to the sparks that flew between Cecily and Lucas right away as well. Cecily has a wall built up around her from a previous heartbreak so her back and forth attitude with Lucas was a bit frustrating and I wished Cecily would have just left her guard down for good instead of toying with Lucas and his feelings one to many times. I really enjoyed how Lucas, a wounded war hero who did not expect to inherit his title, seemed to take life in stride and was a bit proper until he meet Cecily and he slowly let some of that properness abate and let love in. You can just feel the love that grows between these two and you truly see how it affects Lucas and how it finally affects Cecily. The mystery aspect surrounding Lucas' brother and her father kept me flipping the pages and it took me a bit to piece it all together and I was still surprised by a few curveballs thrown in. For a debut I was very happy with the mix of romance and mystery, neither seemed to be overshadowing the other and it blended together into a wonderful, sexy romance. If you are looking for a historical romance that has a lovely romance that grows over time, mixed with some interesting settings among the excavation world in London and a bit of mystery to keep you flipping the pages, Manda Collins has delivered a winner! I know I can not wait for the next two books in the series :) 4 stars
I won an ARC of this book from Ms Collins off of Twitter. Thanks so much!!

"Economic growth 'cannot continue' "
"There is no global, environmental central bank to bail us out if we become ecologically bankrupt."
Quite a hardcore (if not entirely logically surprising) set of findings
any thoughts?
what's the way forward?
I'd really like someone to explain to me
the consequences of a zero-growth economy, or, rather, how an economy re-configures itself to allow zero-growth. Does it make it impossible to lift peope out of poverty (without redistributing wealth)?
I read once that in the context of zero growth, inflation is caused by an increase in productivity - does this mean zero-growth would require us all to be lazier?
These questions need answering.
Also, would we have to have fewer children?
Frankly, I'm up for it whatever the consequences; it seems the only sensible solution to climate change/scarcity of resources.
i think zero growth, or at least declining growth rates
can be attributed to diminishing returns to capital according to some.
To be honest, I can't be arsed to re-read trhough my lecture notes again to post on this. soryy.
Would inflation not be caused by a decrease in productivity?
decrease in supply + no change in demand = increase in prices... no?
Sorry, you're right of course.
Perhaps I meant deflation then.
This is similar to what I believe and have been trying to talk about all along
and yes I do know of the best ways forward, but I do not know of a way to argue the best ways forward to win convince people in a democratic environment
forget about convincing anyone for the moment
imagine we are all convinced to a certain extent...
what possible future scenarios can we expect to see?
or what policies do you believe should be implemented locally, nationally and internationally?
The strange thing is
the recession may eventually prove to be the best thing that ever happened to the green movement.
Aside from the fact that they've already downscaled the amount of carbon output estimated for the past year and this one based on slowed economic growth, there are a number of economists who believe we'll never reach the level we did pre-crash, particularly in regards to jobs - many of them are never coming back regardless of how well the economy eventually rebounds.
One of the few areas with any scope for permanent job creation on a large scale is in green tech - even if it's not for environmental reasons per se that governments start looking at this, the end result would be same.
But who knows? I still can't see where anywhere near the point where people really start cracking down on this. But with the economy in the shitter, what would already have been a tough sell at least becomes a little easier...
a lot people would also be in denial
but then a lot of people would fight it to the vary last breath - and some of them would win
so what you're saying is that you have no opinion as to what should be the way forward?
or what might be the way forward?
you're happy to accept your fate as designated by experts as you don't consider yourself (even though you don't believe what the experts tell you) qualified to have an opinion
is that right?
Know what I think is extremely unhelpful?
People who say "We're never going to stop climate change, so let's forget about it and stop doing anything about it."
This is a misrepresentation of what economic growth actually is.
The idea that economic growth is incompatible with environmental sustainability is a favourite idea of the authoritarian left, and it pisses me off because there's no rational basis for the claim.this'd this
It's also a favourite idea of those on the right too,
the left don't have a monopoly on blinkers.
go on...
explain to me in simple(ish) terms how environmental sustainability and economic growth are not at conflict with one anotherasita this'd this
I am not saying anything
I'm asking proslo to explain his position
my mind is open
we're in uncharted territory
I have no political dogma to hide behind - I am attempting to come to terms with a possible future scenario
why is hysteria always your first response
no one is talking about mud huts..
i disagree
the problem with the economic system as it stands is that it has no relationship to it's outcomes. capitalists have always assumed that all growth is fundamentally good whilst paying very little attention to who ends up with money at the end and what resources get's exhausted or damaged along the way.
now that the details are becoming more important unilateral growth is no longer possible, but growth is still possible. at the very least a more enviromentally sound economy could create a dynamic equilibrium in which green businesses replace their less effecient counter parts.
if we embrace some responsibility then this can work...
this is a global issue
The Conservatives don't even have any power nationally
Can't you discuss any issue without turning it into party politics?
I would have thought locally might mean
your own brain
y'know - you're own thoughts, opinions etc. rather than your employers' policy directives
I should have known better I suppose
what percentage of the worlds population
do you think it will take to sabotage any efforts to balance out global warming? people have made estimates but there's no real way to know of course, but the number probably exists in reality. practical action starts within the nation states yes, but we have to take a broader view on this issue or else it will inevitably fail.
umm... did you read the article properly?
they don't say that 'the end of humanity' is inevitable, just that a 2 degree temperature rise probably is. 2 degrees is the most mild concievable outcome at the moment. the more serious problems kick in at 3 degrees and 4 degrees - you should google the models.
"almost everything we own, every progress (dangerous word) tehnological or otherwise in human history, has been because of capitalism"
Well, first, you have to understand what 'growth' actually means.
It's a measure of an increase in wealth, but NOT necessarily a measure of an increase in things.
If I have, say, a poster signed by Cher, and you've got a coffee mug that Chesney Hawkes once spat in, and we each value each others' item more than our own, then we might swap them. If we do, that counts as growth - even though there isn't anything 'new', since wealth is a subjective concept it means that simply having something that I value more than what I used to have counts as growth. It's a bit simplistic, but that's all growth is.
Now, the idea that environmental sustainability is incompatible with economic growth requires all growth to involve some kind of destruction of the environment, something unsustainable. That's clearly not true. There's loads of stuff that counts for growth that has absolutely no destructive effect on the environment.
It's quite telling that they warn that there isn't any kind of central bank for the environment - I know I'm not exactly in the majority in thinking that most of our economic problems could be solved in the long run by abolishing central banking, but it's indicative of the same mentality at work. There must be, they say, some kind of central organisation to curb outrageous tendencies, morality and rationality be damned. The fact that there isn't one for the environment, as there is for the economy, is a great problem - for them.
that's a VERY tailored example
the vast majority of economic growth is concerned with the exploitation of resources and/or the development of markets and technologies that are intrinsically linked to the consumption of resources
based on an IT and fitness test and or logans run type blasting of old people into space
Question 3, Part A
On a Windows operating system, how would one defragment the harddrive, and what are the benefits of disk defragmentation?
I'm a Mac
I don't really understand the concepts here and it'd be useful if someone would explain them.
Surely, given the globe has a finite amount of resources growth in the global economy simply means the value of everything is proportionately modified so we don't all have more money in a meaningful sense?
I'm struggling to explain myself.
But basically the value of anything is calculated on a supply and demand principle If something's easy to get hold of it's cheap and if it's rare then it's expensive. If you take any resource, there's only as much of it as exists on the Earth at any given time. And our wealth basically comes down to how much we can afford in comparison to other people - so far as I ca see it's by definition a relative concept.
So, even if everyone's globally richer, all that must mean is the price of everything increases to reflect the fact we're all richer so I can't really see how increasing the global economy benefits anyone.
That makes sense.

These are the basic questions anyone should ask before hiring mobile game developers.
When you choose Space-O to develop your gaming app, we will also ask you:

I enjoyed the Grill cheese sandwich and the rib tips are falling off the bone. I highly recommend this place. (via Facebook)
I was craving BBQ and found this place. Excellent pulled pork sandwich. Will definitely be going back again! (via Facebook)
Amazing food, friendly people, and affordable prices. Homemade sauces were amazing, and the pulled pork sandwich is pretty great. Definitely going to be eating here again. (via Facebook)
Never heard of this, stopped and tried the grilled cheese pulled pork. Amazing! The owners are super friendly! So glad we found this place! (via Facebook)
Awesome food and great people. We like stopping here for lunch even more now that they have a place to go in and sit down. The lemonade is the best I've ever had! (via Facebook)
Today I stopped in to try their BBQ. I first found their add in the Great Deals of Delaware County. The pulled pork was tender and we'll cooked. The selection of sauces were wide range and flavorful. Great customer service with plentiful portions. I will be back. (via Facebook)
This was my first visit, will not be my last… Brisket is finger licking good! Cowboy beans are the best! (via Facebook)
Had some great brisket and baked potato salad today, both exceptionally good. (via Facebook)
Hands down the best BBQ I have had since I lived in GA! Their pulled pork and brisket is no joke!!!! Then there are them Cowboy Beans, WOW!!!!!! And their service is top notch as well, very friendly and courteous staff!! Well worth your time to stop by and give them a try! (via Facebook)
Best bbq around! Large meat portions and tasty side dishes such as baked potato salad and cowboy beans. The cowboy beans are the best beans I have ever tasted! (via Facebook)
Pulled pork and chicken salad were phenomenal! We will be back! (via Facebook)
Mandy and Travis gave great service on a stormy day. They are smiling and friendly. The only thing better than the service was the food. The meat was tender and moist. The sauces are unique but all good. I especially am fond of the Texas sauce. The side dishes may be even better than the meats! My 12 year old loves the beans. I do not usually like potato salad but had seconds on this one. Looking forward to my next visit already. (via Facebook)
I just stopped by and got the pulled pork grilled cheese. It was very good. The pork butt was cooked perfectly and not dry. There also wasnt an overwhelming smoke flavor that you get when some barbecue joints use too much hickory. I assume this was apple smoked. The grilled cheese aspect was a great combination. There is also a good selection of barbecue sauces. The Carolina style vinegar based sauce was awesome. I will be back. (via Facebook)
I am so happy these folks are serving food in Muncie. They were very kind in service and the brisket I tried was phenomenal. They also have five kinds of homemade barbecue sauce that definitely have bold flavors. I like that they post their daily menu on Facebook each morning and that they do have variety. Wonderful addition to the Muncie food scene! Some days, I look at their menu and it is hard to not go there for lunch!!! (via Facebook)
Best bbq in the area. I try to go here once a week. Food is awesome. Owners are great! (via Google Reviews)
I have ate here at least 3 times now. 5 star food with 5 star service. Pulled pork tacos and sandwich are great. Cowboy baked beans are very yummy as well. (via Facebook)
Their smoked meats are incredible, my wife especially loves the Pulled Pork Grilled Cheese. And if you're a fan of sides, you've GOT to try the homemade potato salad. By far the best I've ever had. Gotta love good BBQ! (via Google Reviews)
Soooo good! Had it for the first time this week & cant wait to return. Thank you! (via Facebook)
The food and service are amazing. We used them to cater an event for 14 people. First, the food: everything was amazing. The meats were moist and tender and very flavorful. I was a little concerned about them being dry by the time we served. Not a problem at all! So good. And the sides were great. Sometimes with BBQ, the sides are an afterthought. Not here! We had the cowboy baked beans, the mac and cheese, and cole slaw. Every dish was so tasty. Additionally, we ordered homemade apple pies. Yum! All of my guests raved about the food. Now, for the service. Excellent! From the first phone call to the delivery and set up, Mandy made the process easy. She delivered the food on time and set it up. When it was time for my guests to eat, everything was warm and tasty, just as I had hoped. Actually, it was all better than I had hoped! Thank you MT's Smokin BBQ. I highly recommend them for your event, or hit up their food truck when you see them out and about. (via Facebook)
Excellent! Live out of town, but visit Muncie frequently. Stopped on a whim and was pleasantly surprised. Brisket was exceptional. D-licious! (via Facebook)
Best BBQ I've ever had! Big portions and the sides are amazing! (via Facebook)
The people here are great! They are very friendly! All the sauces are homemade. Each is good in its own way. It seems a little pricey but it's well worth it. (via Google Reviews)
So good it should be illegal. If you have not tried it you are missing out on some of the best BBQ Indiana has to offer. (via Facebook)
We LOVE the BBQ here! If you're in the area you have to swing by and grab a pulled pork grilled cheese. And definitely get the Texas BBQ sauce! So good!!! (via Google Reviews)
Do not miss out on the pork belly sandwich! This place is too good to pass up! Looking forward to the brisket! (via Facebook)
Yes finally a great BBQ place in Muncie! The brisket and pulled pork are absolutely phenomenal ! The sauces are creative and match the delicious meats perfectly. The beans and warm potato salad are great and even their coleslaw is memorable. Would highly highly recommend it and cannot wait to
have it again. (via Facebook)
First time going to MT's, and I'll definitely be returning…my friend and I were treated extremely well, and the food was amazing, large portions and an amazing taste. (via Facebook)
I have been waiting to try this place for months!! Finally, the last day of the fair we got to try it. Was not disappointed. I got a brisket slider (delicious) and my husband and kids got pulled pork sliders (delicious). A generous amount of meat was put in each sandwich so we were all full at the end. (Of course we stuffed ourselves with more fair food anyway.) (via Facebook)
This is the best BBQ I have ever had and I love the baked potato salad and the cowboy beans. (via Facebook)
I have had MTs twice now. Great taste and large portion of meat. (via Facebook)

Midterm Elections
January 1, 2011 by Ryan Elledge
Feeling quite a surge of red today. The results and predictions are just now starting to come in, and I am anxious to see how well my favorite prediction site holds out. ElectionProjection.com is a site I have watched for the past 6 years and I am blown away at how accurate it seems to be. In the 2008 presidential election, it did miss two states.
This morning, the site showed the Dems and Republicans each with 49 seats in the Senate and 2 for the Independents. It is pretty aggressive to think that's how it will turn out, but we shall see. The house showed Republicans gaining 62 seats, well more than enough to keep Pelosi from sitting behind the President in his speeches yet to come. Even if the Republicans fail to get the majority in the senate, I think it is quite obvious people are not happy with how the past two years of change have gone.
Thus far, three senate seats have been called (msnbc.com). Kentucky is the first call to go from blue to red, and Rand Paul is the projected winner. ElectionProjection.com did call this changeover. In fact, so far all three have been predicted correctly.
More later. Am definitely excited to watch this unfold tonight.

An unaired episode of Game of Thrones has appeared on the internet this morning. Episode 6, due to be aired on Sunday, appeared first on file-sharing sites and a Reddit post. Reddit users spotted that the episode was accidentally aired by HBO Nordic in Spain for an hour before it was removed.
An unreleased episode of Game of Thrones has been published online ahead of its TV debut on Sunday. Episode 4 of season 7 has now leaked online in a low-quality format — thanks to Google Drive postings in a Reddit thread. The Verge can confirm this episode is genuine, and the copy includes a "for …
Despite repeated attempts to keep Game of Thrones under tight lock and key, HBO is continuing to experience leaks when it comes to the blockbuster fantasy series, with the sixth episode of the currently-broadcasting season seven having just leaked online days ahead of its television debut.
In a devastating blunder, HBO España and HBO Nordic has accidentally dropped Game of Thrones season 7 episode 6 four days early. The episode was available on-demand to subscribers in Spanish and Nordic territories for one hour before being removed – long enough for it to be ripped and shared.
The night is dark and full of oh-so-many leaks. HBO, which has dealt with both a hack and an episode of Game of Thrones leaked through an Indian distributor, faced yet another setback this week as HBO Spain seems to have accidentally made the next episode of Thrones available via on-demand.

Across a variety of offshore industries, there is a push to reduce vessel hours and offshore man hours to reduce cost, risk and weather dependency. Reduced cost of battery capacity and increased 4G and satellite communication infrastructure opens up the opportunity to operate systems located offshore, remotely from shore. In addition to reduced cost and risk, an adaptation to remote operation can greatly increase utilization of equipment, providing for 24/7 availability, during all weather conditions.
For systems consuming an average of 500W or less, power supply in the form of battery packs in combination with PV panels, can provide for sufficient uptime and availability. However, offshore operators are looking to deploy more conventional systems offshore for resident, autonomous operation, prompting the need for high power energy supply, a reliable, low latency and high capacity communication link to shore, as well as cost efficient installation methods.
BOLT Sea Power develops offshore power units that aims to deliver all three capabilities. Our on board winch currently provides for both power production and station keeping. However, in collaboration with world a leading suppliers of transmission components, we are in the process of implementing the ability to transfer power and communication through the winch line, from surface to seabed. The winch, already operated as a heave compensated anchor system, also has the inherent capability to install equipment on the sea floor, allowing for a cost efficient installation method.
ROVs and AUVs are traditionally operated from vessels hovering above, making for a vessel- and labour intensive operation that is also sensitive to weather. Several operators are adapting their vessels to operate autonomously with on board battery packs for resident deployment and remote operation. This makes for a complete game changer in availability and cost. However, as power consume is in the several kW regime, the finite energy contained in battery packs puts a serious constrain on operational duration and work capabilities of the subsea vessels.
A power unit from BOLT Sea Power will feed power for battery charging and provide a communication link to shore, enabling true and unconstrained remote operation.Download PDF - Bolt Sea Power - Power for Subsea Resident Vehicles

I was away this past weekend for a wedding, Interesting. I'm glad I was on the Antabuse or I would have drank for sure. (Not sure if I posted that I am back on Antabuse.)
I think my sister in law (whom we stayed with) may be heading down the path that I've been on. We arrived around 3 PM or so and she offered us drinks twice despite the rather early hour. She seemed disappointed that no one wanted to start drinking immediately. She drank quite a bit in the course of the evening and referenced her own drinking quite a bit (she's fine with having lots of houseguests as long as there is plenty of booze in the house, she told me several times how she relaxes with her book and her wine at 5 PM on her porch each night, she is sure her recent weight gain isn't due to the two (just two!) glasses of wine she has each evening, she needs the wine to destress). We went shopping on Sunday and got home around 1 PM. She was surprised that our husbands hadn't "cracked the seal" and started drinking by then. That evening, at the wedding, which was at a country club, the ceremony didn't take place until a half hour after the stated starting time, and no booze was served during this wait. She remarked on this several times. She drank quite a bit at the wedding as well.
I dunno. Maybe it's just me being hyper sensitive to alcohol since I was only on day 8. (Day 11 now.)
The wedding was nice but with a very long cocktail hour and I was bored stiff. I didn't know anybody besides my husband's family and the groom. Although I chatted with a few other guests, I was just bored and my feet hurt. I must admit I missed being able to have a drink to make me more sociable. But it's never just one drink and I'm sure I would have been plowed by the time dinner was served if I'd been drinking.
The dinner was nice and the music was good and I was able to have some fun dancing. (My husband was very impatient with me at first--he'd had a few drinks and was ready to boogie. It's hard for me to want to dance without a few drinks in me first. But I eventually got in the mood even without booze--I mean, one has to dance to "Love Shack" at a wedding, right? What did people dance to before Love Shack was written, I wonder?) The evening was over relatively early--around 10:30--much to my relief.
I think the bottom line for me is that I need to steer clear of these boozy events as much as I can if I'm to stay sober. I just don't find a lot of fun in them, at least events where I don't really know many people very well. They make me want to drink.
Today I am grateful for:
Another hangover free morning
A good night's sleep
That I didn't drink this weekend
That it's Wednesday and there is a long weekend coming up

June 2015 - Hunting Season Newsletter
Dear friends,
As we approach the end of the first half we look back on what has been a hard but in many cases productive few months of hunting. The "hard" part came about due to unbelievably heavy and late rains in April. Normally the roads and camps are open by end of April but with 13" of rain in mid April all the roads we had painstakingly fixed were washed away and camps flooded for the second time!!!
Pans full with heavy rains
This rain meant that for a long period we were not able to hunt west of the Manyemu River which we could not cross. As many of you know the Manyemu River, which is the river that Mururu camp is on, divides the area in half resulting in us having to concentrate East of it. Getting stuck, digging and winching were daily occurrences for most part of the early season hunts.
Getting stuck!
We really like to concentrate on the elephant and leopard hunts early to mid season as we have found that the success rate on them is higher earlier rather than later. With regards to the leopard we are 100% been 7 from 7-all nice big Toms and 5 of them in day light hours which is wonderful. Looking through the records for our time in Dande when we started in 2010 we have been taking 9 leopards a year equating to 45 leopards and we have only had 2 failures!!!
Dave & Pearce M with a monster leopard
Tony T with Alan with his trophy leopard
Carsten J with another beauty
Jack D with his trophy leopard
Rich with Brian S & his fantastic leopard
Anders M & his leopard
Buzz with Odin R & his leopard
The elephant has been a hard year with 2 failed hunts. The Jesse has been incredibly thick and we are finding that the bulls have spent a lot more time with the cows making it hard to get in and get a shot as some of the herds have been over 150 strong! As things have started to dry out there the bulls have seemed to move off from the cows so we hope that the up and coming hunts will be easier. Having said that we have had several great hunts and happy clients as seen below! We are also 100% on our several tuskless hunts that we have done- all of which have been exciting due to the thick bush which has resulted in two of them charging!
Johnny J with his ele
Mike J with his ele
Jim & Joyce W - Excellent trophy bull
Buzz & Wilson H with his bull
The most exciting new for me this season is that despite the heavy bush which makes buffalo hunting difficult and at times frustrating we have shot excellent buffalo. Having aged all our buff since we started in 2010 we have seen a steady increase in age and our policy of shooting hard tops is paying off. This year we have shot buffalo that one would have been proud of in some of the best areas in Tanzania where you pay an arm and a leg! Combined with the large numbers of calves the last few seasons the future of buffalo hunting in Dande looks excellent!!!
Mark A with a beautiful deep bull
Trevor M and Alan with an incredible 44 " Dugga boy
Johnathan C with nice 40" bull
Wilson H with 39 Inch 15 " bosses dugga boy
Darryl T & his 41" buffalo bull
Tony T with "real" old dugga boy
Nick H - 41" Bull
Mike T with 43" dugga boy that charged!
Rich & Brian S with his buffalo
Alan with Roger and Marg G and a great 40" bull
Bob S & Cindy S with her buffalo
Blake and TD with old 38 " dugga boy taken out the buffalo beans!
Odin and his beautiful 40 " bull
In the last month the plains game has started coming out of hiding and we have shot some stunning Kudu. 6 in total with an average of 53" and 3 been 55 and over the biggest been 59".
Cindy S
Tibor D
Blake with Mike T & his incredible 59" kudu bull
Alan also got a monster 18.5" bushbuck and the hyenas thankfully have taking a beating as they are really affecting the game as a whole. Below are a few pics in general.
We are also delighted to have Chooks Langerman join us as Camp Manageress. In the 3 months she has been with us she has turned what I think is fair to say was a well run area into certainly one of the best run hunting area I know! It is a pleasure having someone as competent as Chooks in every department and having Bongi as her "right hand man" and over seeing DAPU has really taken the pressure off the CMS PH who can now totally focus on the hunting! Chooks is also a very warm caring person and the 3 wives who have joined us so far have loved having female company in camp!
Bongi has now taken over DAPU in the North from Siraaj and has continued the sterling work. Hundreds of snares have been picked up this year already and a several poachers arrested. Muno is running DAPU in the East now and also doing a good job. We are very grateful to all who continue to generously donate to DAPU. Running an anti-poaching operation is an expensive ordeal and without the help from you all we would not be able to continue with DAPU and considering the 6000 odd snares picked up, +/- 30 meat poachers arrested, 6 elephant poachers eliminated etc. over the last 3 years-if DAPU were to cease to exist the Dande would end up been another wasteland-so thanks to you all and the scouts who continue to put their lives on the line.
For more information on DAPU please read our quarterly newsletter. Click Here
As we approach the second half of the season- we hope that we do not have any more unexpected rains and the bush thins out a bit! We look forward to having the next lot of friends join us on their hunts!
Cheers Buzz, Myles & the team!
|one of us
Outstanding results. Your efforts with DAPU and discipline in not overhunting the buffalo and only taking fully mature bulls is paying off. I got a feeling I am coming back in 2016!
|one of us
I got a buzz off those bulls.

Well done Buzz and gang! You know those big, old buff quicken my pulse.
On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.

And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!

Well done Buzz and Myles. That bull that Trevor shot is quite a buffalo. Look forward to hearing about the rest of the season!

Alabama Repeals Ban on Interracial Marriage, Although Majority of White Voters Oppose Repeal
On November 3, 2000, Alabama voters approved Amendment 667 to the Alabama Constitution of 1901, annulling and setting aside a provision that banned interracial marriage. A feature of the state constitution enacted in 1901, Section 102 declared it illegal for the state legislature to pass any law that would "authorize or legalize any marriage between any white person and a Negro or descendant of a Negro." Though the provision was rendered unenforceable in 1967 when the Supreme Court's ruling in Loving v. Virginia struck down all state laws prohibiting interracial marriage, it could only be removed from the Alabama constitution by voter referendum.
The 2000 election marked the first time voters had the opportunity to annul the marriage provision, as an earlier attempt to initiate a vote had failed to pass the state senate. Representative Alvin Holmes, who sponsored the bill on both attempts, said even an unenforceable discriminatory law was detrimental: "Just to have it on the books doesn't make the state look good." Though the annulment amendment passed, 41% of Alabama's majority-white electorate voted to retain the language. Alabama thus became the last state to invalidate its constitution's ban on interracial marriage, following South Carolina, which had voted to remove its ban in 1998.

Your boss put together a great holiday celebration for the staff with good food, entertainment and even alcohol; everyone was expected to have fun, right? You remember having loads of fun at the office party, but the idea of seeing your co-workers the next day is terrifying. There might be an embarrassing moment or two that you are hoping no one was sober enough to remember.
Office parties are meant to encourage you to interact with co-workers in a relaxed and fun atmosphere, but these are still people you have to work with in a professional manner. At what point does fun become inappropriate? And is there any way you can undo what never should have been done in the first place?
The proper mindset will help you while attending the office blowout. Even if you are reluctant to attend, think positively; this is an opportunity to mingle and socialize with your co-workers in a different atmosphere. Networking is conducive to office team spirit and communication. Be sure to eat solid food either before or at the party -- especially before imbibing in any alcohol. Drinking is not a necessity, but don't make a scene about it either way. If you do consume alcohol, do so in moderation; adding sparkling water to wine will make the drink go further without creating a buzz. Remember to stagger alcohol, food and nonalcoholic beverages throughout the event.
While attendance at an office party is not mandatory, it is a good political move to attend. Just in case you really don't want to be there, have a designated excuse for leaving early or arrange to have a friend call you. This way, you have made an appearance and greeted your co-workers. Unless the party is taking place immediately after work and everyone is still in normal business attire, find out the expected dress code. Dress the way you want your business associates to view you, and avoid overly sexual or ultra-conservative clothing. Do not dress too casually, and definitely never look sloppy. However, wearing too much bling or high-end clothing may make a poor impression on the rest of the office, as well.
Even though the party may be filled with laughter and chatter, it's still a good idea to defer to your higher-ups, especially in conversations involving office policy or business-related trends. Your conversation should never be confrontational, even with co-workers in equal or lesser positions. And never use alcohol as an excuse to rip into policies or voice strong opinions about other staff members.
If you see that one of your co-workers appears to have overindulged and is misbehaving, make sure that individual gets out of the party and home safely. If you have to take him home, don't tell people about it. Protect his dignity as you would want your dignity protected. If you have a close and trusted co-worker, you might want to coordinate a buddy system.
If you are permitted to bring a guest to the party, remember that you are responsible for their behavior as well as your own. This is not the time for your spouse to complain about your long hours monopolizing family time. Your guest represents you as an extension, so make sure he or she is dressed appropriately, as well. Arrive on time. Even though it's a party, treat it like your day-to-day business, where punctuality is always important. No matter whether your company has a fraternization policy or not, an office party is not where you want to be caught in any compromising positions.

Apprentice star slams 'unprofessional' Lord Sugar
- Bang Showbiz
- 11 July 2013
Axed 'Apprentice' contestant Jordan Poulton hit out at Lord Alan Sugar for being "harsh" and "unprofessional" after he was fired on the BBC One show last night (10.07.13)
Jordan Poulton has slammed Lord Alan Sugar for being "unprofessional" following his axing from 'The Apprentice'.
The business analyst was fired alongside Neil Clough and Francesca MacDuff-Varley on the BBC One show last night (10.07.13), after the entrepreneur had concerns about whether or not Jordan actually owns his business.
As a result, Lord Sugar was reluctant to give the 26-year-old contestant the chance to play for his £250,000 investment in the final, instead choosing Leah Totton and Luisa Zissman as his final two, but Jordan has hit out at the businessman's "harsh" comments shortly before firing him.
He exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "I think under the interpretation he was going with it was fair to be frustrated, but the manner in which it was delivered was quite unprofessional and a bit harsh.
"I think if I had made sure my legal documentation was all in order beforehand then I would have probably had a much better chance of making the final.
"I think it was a mistake of me to have not solidified that relationship contractually before the programme started, and maybe I was a little naive in not realising how much that could be construed."
Francesca MacDuff-Varley also blasted Lord Sugar for his lack of "understanding" in her fitness class idea.
She said: "I think he underestimated my talent. But he's untitled to his own opinion. I'll be in business 10 years later just as I've been here 10 years before.
"I just think he didn't get it, he didn't even know what Zumba was. Every female I've ever told about the idea says it's amazing.
"It was a credible plan, he never said it wasn't, but I need someone with maybe a bit of understanding of my industry."
Neil Clough was left in tears following his firing, which came about due to his poor business plan, and while he joked he needs to enroll in some "business plan writing classes", he still gets emotional thinking about being axed.
He said: "I'm finding it really tough. I put everything into it. I had one goal to win it so I really feel like I've let myself down at the final hurdle.
"I feel like I disappointed him at the same time and that makes it even harder.
"Watching the episode back was really emotional for me because you could see how much he didn't really want to fire me.
"It hurts me to say it but I think he made the right decision firing me."
'The Apprentice Final' airs on Wednesday July 17 at 8pm followed by 'You're Hired' with Dara O'Briain at 9pm on BBC One and BBC One HD.

The Super Bowl might have brought us excitement, but the fact that it also deliverered an unprecedented volume of eyeballs - over 114 million pairs this year - explains just why the talk around the event was as much about the game as it was about the exposure for brands.
Which also explains why this was one event worth carefully analysing when it comes to maximising marketing effort. Despite the high spend, a consumer poll by Genesis Media revealed that some 90% of respondents claimed they were not likely to buy something they saw in a Super Bowl ad, and 75% indicated they didn't recall many Super Bowl spots from last year.
Some of this can be attributed to the fact that about 1 in 3 consumers were browsing the web via their tablet/smartphone during the big game. Thirty-five percent of those polled said they preferred online ads to TV ads, and 32% were more likely to watch an online ad if they deemed it relevant to them.
What that tells us of course, is that TV ads have a great deal of value when it comes to raising brand exposure, but the technology isn't there yet to allow the one-to-one targeting that digital enjoys.
Digital marketing is more measurable, predictable, targeted and cost effective than traditional advertising, when done right. Traditional advertising on the other hand is still the media of choice for most brands at the Super Bowl and it certainly delivers exposure.
So let's introduce another facet to the digital vs traditional debate.
What if we meshed programmatic with what is happening on TV. The inventory could be calibrated to deliver tailored online ads to coincide with TV ads. Imagine a Budweiser ad on TV triggers an online snack ad (best enjoyed with a beer...), or a more personalised version of the TV ad is delivered online to a specific target group. If, as the survey demonstrates, 1 in 3 consumers are browsing their devises during the game, and if the online ad is scaled to be audience relevant, the impact would be strong.
Programmatic technology in itself is the direct opposite of mass brand exposure, it is all about tailoring the message and delivering it to a carefully calculated set of eye balls optimised in real-time to a specific KPI (key performance indicator). Certainly traditional media at the Super Bowl may deliver one of the most effective ways of reaching a mass audience, but this is only if the audience is the great general American population, otherwise it is akin to a shotgun blast that hits the most general demographics. As a consequence it is unable to target down to the user or sub-group level, and it looses any opportunity to strike up a more personalised customer relationship, or, more importantly hone in on those customers that matter most to the brand.
Furthermore a brand can launch a massive online marketing campaign for less than the cost of a single 30 second Super Bowl TV ad - estimated at $4.5 million. It is worth asking what that amount would buy through RTB? Based on a CPM of roughly $2 that would have delivered 2.25 billion impressions, with approximately 1 billion active views (actually seen). If you're in retail and apply some industry standard metrics such as a CTR (click through rate) of 0.2% and a conversion rate of 5% that would have delivered 225,000 sales. While the cap on this is the actual number of people who are in the market to buy, it begs the question, how much value did the Super Bowl ad drive and could the money have been better spent?
However, given the increase in people using devices whilst watching the game, we could take this one step further. What if brands could prepare for and even increase the opportunity of jumping on unscheduled events? If a player is injured which triggers a private insurance ad, when a touch down is scored and a champagne ad is delivered, or when an intercept is made and a vitamin supplement ad is served.
Real time marketing for major brands rose at this year's Super Bowl, and if marketers added programmatic technology into the mix we could have a real game-changer.
Applying programmatic would also mean that the generally thorny issue of blending traditional and digital media could become synergistic, as marketers could more readily target individuals, determine how ads impact purchase behaviour, and turn the media campaigns into more fluid and exciting events, as unpredictable as the game itself and therefore much more memorable and impactful.

The breakfast at the Seventeen Degrees hotel was in their restaurant on a floor below.
Swamiji had assigned volunteers for many tasks on this trip. If the sense of doer-ship is not kept in check when performing an act of service, even the opportunity to serve feeds the ego - that one is on a pedestal as compared to the rest. The proximity and easy access to the Swamijis is added fodder for some egos. A yatra - piligrimage, is not just a trip to temples or holy sites, the purification happens within. Sitting on the couch at home is a pilgrimage if the mind is focused on Shiva. By the time this physical trip ends, a spiritual journey should have happened as well. Dipping in natural waters at holy spots is the same as taking a shower at home, and performing a pooja in sanctum sanctorum is the same as lighting a lamp at home. The mere act of visiting a temple does not earn merit. It is one's faith, fervour for spiritual growth, and surrender to the guru and God that wins divine grace.
One of the most famous gurus of all times, Dronacharya, had organized an archery test for his young students - boys of royal blood in the Kuru kingdom. Why "boys of royal blood"? Why not princes? Because the children of royals born of maids were taught by Drona along with the children born to queens. A wooden bird was placed on the branch of a tree across a river, and the eye of the bird was the target for the princes. Before allowing him to shoot, Drona would ask the student - what do you see? And each child's answer would contain some or more of - the sky, the river, the field, the tree, the bird, my Guru, the other princes,... and Drona would say - Step aside, you are not worthy to shoot. Finally, it was the turn of the Pandava prince Arjuna. His famous answer was - All I see is the eye of the bird. And the pleased guru said - Shoot, you alone are worthy of this test. Arjuna was not favored by his guru, nor was he treated differently for being a royal and a son of Indra, king of the gods. It was Arjuna's commitment to excel that got him the opportunity that others did not get.
If your mind is elsewhere, do not shoot, O Kaurava. People whose mind is anywhere other than Shiva should save themselves this trip and a load of money.

Back into the bus for a long ride, we had a lot of singing in the bus. We had a qualified singer, Natana, who had taught singing to children for many years. She sang very beautiful bhajans - hymns. Anantanandaji sang bhajans after that. Two gifted singers in the bus taking the name of the Lord, all conversation in the bus fell to a hush, and people listened and sang along if they knew the bhajan.
Deoghar, where the temple of Baidyanath is located, is slightly over 140 miles from Dhanbad. It took us 4 hours to get there. There were forests along the way, and vast expanse of land generously covered with new vegetation. I tried to imagine how armies marched, spies sneaked, messengers rushed, traders traveled and monks walked this land for milleniums.
This was my first visit to Bihar and Jharkhand, and there were so many places I would have wanted to visit if I had more time to spend here. There were so many memories from history classes - Bodhigaya where the Buddha attained enlightenment, the ancient powerful kingdom of Magadha which gave rise to the Maurya dynasty and the Gupta dynasty, the Nalanda university which attracted students from all over the world and whose vast libraries are reported to have burned for three months when the Turkish Muslim invaders attacked and destroyed it, Jalamandir near Patna where Mahavir Jain was cremated, and so many other places and events from more recent history. Even if I spent a month here, I would have seen very little of this great region with such a long and incredible history that has gone into the making of modern India.
Closer to Deoghar, the beautiful rural life revealed itself - fields and streams, birds pecking away at the grass, cattle grazing at leisure, children playing in the long summer afternoons, farmers and farm workers, washerwomen by the river - some things are just eternal in India.
The bus stopped a mile away from the temple, and we took cycle rickshaws to get to the temple.
Ashverya and I were seated in a cycle rickshaw pulled by a person whose every muscle strained each time he pushed on the foot pedals. A few times, we told him, we would get down and walk the rest of the way but he may have thought he would not get paid and insisted he could manage it. By the time we were through half the distance, Ashverya and I had upped the tip from Rs.100 to Rs.1000, that we were planning to give him on top of the fare that Dheeraj would pay him - he needed it more than us, and it was the very least we could do for him. Also, we managed to convince him we were better off walking. As we got down, Ashverya insisted we pay him the tip right now but my body is incapable of dealing with heat, and I was so identified with my body then that all I wanted to do was get in the shade. My skin was scorched. We could pay the man when we returned.
The first few cycle rickshaws reached the west entrance of the temple, and we waited there in the scorching heat for the better part of an hour. The people behind us just would not show up. In the meantime, some people bought souvenirs.
There was a pump outside the west entrance of the temple, where a boy was pumping water and a little child was carrying water in little containers to her home across the street.
|Hard-working children
Belatedly, we found out that the rest of the group had come to the temple from the north entrance, and were waiting inside. Now that the entire group was together, we got into line to perform the abhishek - annointment, of the lingam. Anantanandaji worked out the logistics and group payments with some priests in the temple. It appeared that we would not be able to do the abhishek - annointment, but we could go into the sanctum sanctorum and offer money and other goodies, and touch our heads to the lingam.
Five steps outside the sanctum sanctorum, a person was giving out rice saying - eat it, and donate something here. Two steps beyond that, a person was putting a tilak - mark on everyone's forehead, saying put money here. Two steps beyond that, a person was giving out vibhuti - ashes, and asking for money. All this was happening in the main temple, and the moment we got out into the courtyard, there were photographers, trash collectors, and others asking for money. On the one hand, I do not mind giving money who make their living around temples, especially the yard cleaners and others who put in toil and sweat. On the other hand, it is a bit much to be chanting Aum Namaha Shivaaya, and keep getting hit with a request for money every other minute. Maybe that's what Shiva wants here. I ran out of Rs.100 notes in a big hurry, and had to start giving out Rs.10 and Rs.20 notes. I am sure even that means a lot to some, I was left with the feeling that I had not brought enough to give. Lesson learned for the next temple.
In all the temples I have seen in my life so far, with all the pushing and jostling for darshan - viewing and puja - worship, I have yet to see a garbha gruha - sanctum sanctorum, that is treated with less dignity. The priests of this temple were shouting at one another, and pushing out people brought by the other priests. Two priests got into a shoving match over the lingam like sumo wrestlers. I was afraid if one of them fell on the lingam, he would be impaled on the spot. I did not get to see the final result of that wrestling match because I was pushed out by people behind me after I had touched my head to the lingam. Shiva resides here, nothing else matters. Being impaled would be a unique blessing, I am sure, watching it would be a blessing too, but visiting the temple was blessing enough for me.
There are 12 other temples in the courtyard, one of them for Parvati. It is believed that when the charred remains of Sati fell to the ground, the heart fell at Baidyanath. The current temple complex is believed to have been built in the sixteenth century by the royal family of Giddhaur.
There is a bit of a dispute about this temple being a jyotirlinga. There is also the temple of Baijnath in Himanchal Pradesh and the Baidnath temple in Parli, Maharashtra - both have supporters that regard them as a jyotirlinga. In my humble opinion, any place where Shiva is worshipped is a place to be visited. If one is blessed with Shiva's grace, every shivalaya - house of Shiva, is a jyotirlinga. And when the cloud of ignorance is removed and one becomes conscious of the light of the Self shining forth, each form in creation is seen as a jyotirlinga.
When we got out, our cycle rickshaws were nowhere to be seen. We walked a bit, and kept walking, no clue where the cycle rickshaws were. It was frighteningly hot, and Venkatji took the children for chilled sodas, while I walked with Natana towards the bus. I don't believe in regret, but I do stay aware of missed opportunities. And if I had not been so identified with my body when I was getting out of the cycle-rickshaw, then I would have thought of that man's discomfort before my own, and given him the lavish tip then. Lesson learned for another time.
The bus was parked in front of the restaurant where we were supposed to have lunch. It took a good twenty minutes inside the building under air-conditioned vents for the body to cool down.
As we waited for food, Natana balanced water bottles on her head, shaking all the while like the bobbing-head dolls of Thanjavur.
The lunch was the usual spread, and I admire the people who can eat in such heat.
The bus had better air-conditioning than the hotel, and I slept for a good 2-3 hours before waking up to the natural beauty around. It was late afternoon, a large group of boys were playing cricket, a lonely cow walked on the road, and there was serenity in the landscape that has probably not changed much over the centuries.
The bus stopped at an opportune spot that we would be using as a rest area - open fields in a secluded area with trees and bushes. And soon after, a chai stop for the relieved passengers. Brewed chai and instant coffee was served from kettles in kulhad - earthen cups, giving the liquid of choice a very distinct flavor. This was reminiscent of some railway stations in Rajasthan that used to sell chai in kulhad, that we would look forward to, on our annual vacation trips by train from Gujarat to UP.
Once back in Dhanbad, we had a couple of hours in which to pack, and leave to catch the train at night. The train would stop at Dhanbad for 15 minutes in which 42 of us had to get into the coach with our duffel bags and backpacks and handbags.
When we reached the railway station, here was the first challenge. Unlike at the airports, where we would collectively check in the duffel bags, we needed to identify our individual bags for the train where they needed to be stored under our seats. The second challenge was light - it was quite dark, and there was not much street light outside the train station, making the bag identification process quite lengthy, and we were in danger of missing the train. The third challenge was that there were no coolies - porters. I don't know about the rest, but my duffel bags were packed for flights and luggage carts, not for manual hauling by me. The fourth challenge was that the train was to come on platform 3, which meant that we would enter the station, climb about 50 stairs and cross the bridge that took us over two train tracks and then climb down to come to the third train track. It was physically impossible for many to carry their bags up and down the railway station, so the more able were burdened with making the trip twice or thrice. Panting and perspiring, we reached platform 3. Now there was a possible fifth challenge - the train could arrive on a different platform. It is akin to changing gates for flights, except that the railway station at Dhanbad does not have escalators and elevators. Luckily, this fifth challenge did not come to be. The train did arrive on platform 3. Hats off to the organizational skills of the Swamijis with logistics management - we were inside the train, duffel bags and all, in 15 minutes.
Inside the coach, I had a bottom berth on the wall, by the door. The compartments on one wall of the air-conditioned sleeper coach have a pair of three berths or bed-sized seats - one at a chair level, another at four feet, and the top berth at over five feet. Facing the compartment, on the other wall of the coach are two layers of single berths. The air-conditioning was working better than at any restaurant or hotel I had seen so far. To top it all, blankets, pillows and bed sheets were given out by an attendant - this was the Orient Express as far as I was concerned.
This was Ashverya's first trip in an Indian train, and she loved it. There was packed dinner for everyone and surprise!!! - it was not the usual fare, there were puris and potato and rice and dal. I instantly gave up my rice and yogurt diet that I had managed for 2 weeks, and hungrily ate up the packed dinner. Ashverya and the other two children had their dinner together in the top berth of a compartment, and if the person assigned to that berth had not wanted to sleep, the party would have gone on.
Around midnight, I was asked to sleep in a compartment in the inner part of the coach because the Swamijis needed the space around the door to organize the unloading of bags, and we would have very little time in Varanasi to get out of the train at 5 in the morning.
My eyes almost closed, I perched on the new berth and dozed off. I had a dim idea that I had neither a pillow, nor bed sheets nor a blanket. But I was draped in a sari, that I could wrap around myself and say goodnight to the world. A little while later, I became dimly aware that someone was giving me a pillow and putting a blanket on me. It was Vinayakji, his compassion is unbelievable. I got up in my half-sleep, and he spread bedsheets and once I lay down, he put a blanket over me. It felt nice to be babied, I would wake up in Varanasi now.
At 4 in the morning, we would be getting in line to offload bags and get off the train.
Aum Namaha Shivaaya!!

Phoenix Home Water System
Clean, pure, safe water is something everyone values. But in dry desert areas water can contain elements like magnesium and calcium that make it "hard" and cause build-up in water pipes, heaters, washing machines and other water systems. As water in Arizona is two to three times harder than in other parts of the country, you may require special home water systems in Phoenix and surrounding areas. American Home Water and Air or American Home Water Heaters has a range of reliable, quality water conditioning systems specially suited to the water conditions in Arizona.
Often water hardness can cause scaling in water boilers and plumbing which builds up over time and causes problems like restricted water flow and reduced water pressure. In places like Phoenix, home water systems can help eliminate these problems by filtering hard water through a "resin softening medium" which removes hardness-causing minerals. In American Home Water and Air or American Home Water Heaters products, salt is periodically used to refresh the conditioning system and all products are designed to be easy to control and save resources like water and salt, providing you with quality soft water and peace of mind.
You may need a variety of home water systems in Phoenix to tackle the various problems related to water hardness. One concern is that water hardness requires the use of more detergents and cleaning solutions, resulting in high household bills every month. Also, if you're tired of seeing streaky plates in the dishwasher, a water conditioning system can soften water giving you sparkling, spotless dishes. American Home Water has a number of superior water softeners which save soap and provide greater water efficiency, remove scale build-up and prevent skin irritation caused by hard water. American Home Water's water softeners are built so that they require no maintenance and come with a five-year parts and labor warranty - a guarantee of quality!
Hard water can cause clothes to look and feel stiff and scratchy, but when washed in conditioned water, fabrics retain their vibrant colors and last much longer. Those bathing, shaving, and washing up in hard water often suffer from chafed and irritated skin while porcelain bathroom fixtures are left with stubborn stains. So if you live in Phoenix, a home water system from American Home Water will enable you to enjoy a long soak in soft, clear water without worrying about hard, scaly rings in the tub.
Another water system that homes in Phoenix use is the Reverse Osmosis system, which provides clear, clean water that is good enough to bottle. American Home Water's Reverse Osmosis systems remove 97% of deposits including metals and pesticides and are factory-checked for performance. All American Home Water systems are sold at competitive rates and the company offers to match the price of comparable water softener systems advertised at a lower price.
The process of installing water systems may seem like a complicated and costly affair. But American Home Water can send an installer to your home to discuss questions about installing a system best suited to your needs and living conditions. American Home water has successfully installed over 40, 000 home water systems in Phoenix since the company was started in 1985 by childhood friends Tom Atkinson and Tom Knapp. They are both highly qualified and have built up further skills and expertise over the past twenty years, receiving a number of awards for consumer care from the Electric League of Arizona.
American Home Water is a leader in providing safe and effective home water systems in Phoenix and aim for the best quality and professional service.
