Stargazing at Cosmo Planetarium Shibuya
There are plenty of things to do in Tokyo (you heard it here first, folks), but with so much light pollution, you can rule out stargazing. In fact, you?ll be lucky to see more than a couple of stars even on a clear night until you?re a long way from the city. Enter the humble planetarium, a dome-shaped room designed to project star constellations on the ceiling?all with the added bonus of air-conditioned comfort (and no bugs). There are a few planetariums dotted around Tokyo, including impressive structures in Sunshine City in Ikebukuro and Skytree Town in Asakusa, as well as a romantic (and pricey) bar in Shirokanedai. But for its schedule, its central location and most importantly its price, Cosmo Planetarium Shibuya is hard to beatThe post Stargazing at Cosmo Planetarium Shibuya appeared first on Tokyo Cheapo.

Multispecies Salon 3: Call for Wild Artists
A curatorial collective is reaching out to renowned bioartists, ecoartists, and kinetic artists in New Orleans, across the United States, and around the world. With this call we are also soliciting artifacts and organisms from wild artists: school children, environmental advocates, community organizers, and scholars who do not all have recognizable art credentials. Pushing Joseph Beuys' famous decree--"You are all artists"--beyond human realms we will also frame microbes, insects, and plants as creative agents.
The Multispecies Salon originated in the San Francisco Bay Area where artists have been collaborating with anthropologists to explore human relations with other species. The Salon has orbited around the Annual Meetings of the American Anthropological Association (AAA) in San Francisco (in 2008) and San Jose (in 2006). The coming of the AAA to New Orleans, from 17-21 November, prompted us to organize Multispecies Salon 3. Our art exhibit accompanies the emergence of multispecies ethnography, a new mode of anthropological research and writing about how human lives are entangled with animals, plants, fungi, and microbes.
To submit an artifact or artwork to the Multispecies Salon e-mail us an image or a brief description of your piece (200 words or less): email@example.com. All submissions should fit within one of the three themes described on this website: 1) Life in the Age of Biotechnology, 2) Edible Companions, and 3) Hope in Blasted Landscapes. If you would like to submit a bioart piece, using living matter as your medium, please include an additional statement addressing how the piece should be cared for in the gallery and any public health concerns. Submissions are due on September 1st and participants will be notified by September 15th if their piece is accepted. Opening night will be November 13th, 2010.

Kentucky Ag News Headlines
Monster Machines to Battle for Grand Championship
Kentucky Ag Connection - 02/09/2018
Powerful pulling machines go for a wild ride down the unpredictable dirt track of Freedom Hall in an action-packed showdown of the most talented drivers in the country. Ask anyone who has ever been in the stands, theres nothing like the annual Championship Tractor Pull from the scream of monster engines to the smell of burning rubber.
More than 70,000 fans will flood Freedom Hall Feb. 1417 for the super-charged Championship Tractor Pull at the Kentucky Exposition Center. Sponsored by Syngenta, the event draws the nations top drivers as they compete for the title of Grand Champion and a share of over $200,000 in prize money. In fact, competitors are not restricted to the U.S. Two drivers, William De Vos and Barend Huijbregts will travel from the Netherlands to hit the track.
Drivers compete in eleven divisions based on the weight of their machine, for example: 7,500 pound 4x4 super stock diesel trucks and 10,200 pound pro stock tractors. Competition begins when weighted sleds are attached to the machines. Competitors then gun for a full pull pulling the sled the full length of the track for a win. If two or more drivers in a division nail a full pull, more weight is added. The driver who pulls the farthest wins. Its the kind of excitement that keeps people on the edge of their seats because a fraction of an inch can make the difference between first and second place. Tip: Consider wearing ear plugs during the pull, because these machines are loud some are even powered by modified airplane engines.
For 50 years the nation's best drivers and their powerful pulling machines have descended on Louisville each February for the Championship Tractor Pull. Sixty-six tractors competed in three classes (5,000, 10,000 and 15,000 pound tractors) in the first Championship Tractor Pull. There are now more than 190 tractors competing across eleven classes. A lot has changed in 50 years. The first truck class was added in 1977, an addition that helped the pull sell out for the first time. Additionally, numerous safety changes have taken place including fireproof suits and racing helmets for the drivers.
Want to check out the wheeled beasts before they roar into gear? Visit The Pit in Broadbent Arena and get up close to competing tractors and trucks, meet drivers, get autographs and take photos with favorite vehicles. Admission is free and open to the public Wednesday ¬through Friday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday 9 a.m. to 11 a.m.
Tickets for the Championship Tractor Pull are available at the Kentucky Exposition Center Ticket Office, online at www.ticketmaster.com or by phone at 1-800-745-3000. Event times and prices vary by day. A detailed tractor pull schedule is available at www.champpull.org.
The Championship Tractor Pull is held in conjunction with the National Farm Machinery Show, the largest indoor farm show in the country. Each year more than 300,000 attendees from around the world explore the agricultural industrys most comprehensive display of equipment, services and technology more than 1.3 million square feet of exhibit space to be exact.

There are several garden jobs that are probably to need tackling just before the warm climate arrives, specifically if your outdoor space has lain largely untouched over winter. It can be tough to know exactly where to begin, but commit some time seeking round the garden and write oneself a prioritised checklist of the most important tasks if needed.

The onset of spring is also the time to prune your trees and shrubs, although a lot of gardeners are reluctant to carry out this activity for fear of making a mistake and accidentally damaging plants. Nonetheless, the reality is that you are unlikely to kill a plant or shrub by pruning it sensibly.

What is "fair use"?
Sometimes I get into these "comment battles" with other bloggers with whom I may disagree. A recent such dialogue I had was with a new voice in the blogosphere, someone specifically dealing with "breaking news about PR and marketing communications". Her blog is certainly irreverant, which is borne out even in her background photo, shown here:
Now, I'm not going to say who this blogger is. I'm not going to give you her web site. I'm not even going to attribute this photo to her or her photographer (if this photo even depicts "her" -- there's extensive speculation about the real identity of this person/woman/nom de plume/Brian Connolly/Furthermore character). I know full well that I am not the creator of the above image. Am I violating a copyright? I think so.
The sassy lady blogger in question, however, says otherwise. Fair use, she would claim.
I'm trying to make a point. The point being, she copied an image from The Economist online magazine and used it in a recent blog post (without any permission, or even attribution). Then when three different people leaving comments questioned her about whether she had the "rights" to use the drawing in the manner she did, she replied in each case that she did. She's not an attorney. She didn't have the time to explain why she was right and the field was wrong. She only cited that there is a "four factor fair use test", and that this image use was covered by such a test, and that there should be no further discussion on the matter.
That's what frosted me the most. A subsequent comment of mine was notably "not approved" by the saucy blogger. She deemed that no more discussion on the topic of copyright needed to make its way to her blog comment form. Visitors, purportedly, would only be allowed to comment on the topic of the original post, not the underlying legal/ethical question of copyright. I think that's a pretty lousy policy for someone to have on their blog -- especially one that claims to be a "naked journal".
Before I open a big can of worms, I've checked out the images that I have ever posted in my own blog, and I sincerely believe that all of the photos are either: used with permission, used for the purpose of parody, or being re-used as the product of a public relations campaign where the original authors would be delighted to see more exposure for their product. I hope.
If you really, really must know the identity of my opponent, you can probably figure it out in my Technorati tags, below.
Tags: Amanda Chapel, Brian Connolly, copyright, fair use, Furthermore, Strumpette, The Economist

I always get my hopes up about projects like this. I want to be able to make nice things for myself but so far it has never really turned out - except for a few dresses. Why can I make nice things for Sweet One when I suck so bad at getting things to fit me?
So I'm standing there, stuck in a shirt, half naked and Big Love thinks it's cute so he has a smile on his. I felt horrible. Sad that my attempt to add something nice to my lack-of-wardrobe failed, my hopes crushed and thus killing any confidence I had thought I might gain from a successful project, vulnerable because I'm half naked with my muffin top hanging over and my husband is laughing. I also hate that it means $15 went to nothing.
Maybe I should go and shovel some snow.

Well what do you think about me doing another card with this fun Eureka stamp?
55901 On My Heart is one of those images that can be colored so many shades and ways.
I love that this sentiment ( YOUR ON MY HEART)can be used for many situations- So I must admit I am glad I have made several made and waiting for when I need them.
I think Eureka has some wonderful images for any occasion- and most can be used for several situations.

Old Proven Hair Loss Treatment With Castor Oil
The average human scalp has around 100 000 hair follicles. In a person's lifetime, each follicle grows about 20 hairs. Average hair loss is 100 strands a day. The absence of hair is called alopecia, also known as baldness.
What is regular cycle of hair growth and hair loss?
The normal period of hair growth is for 2 to 3 years. And it grows per 1 centimeter per month. About 90 % of the head hair is growing only one time. And the rest 10 % is in a resting phase. This hair, after 3-4 months, falls out and in its place the hew hair starts to grow.
Losing hair every day is normal. But, if the falling of hair is more than normal, (more than 100 strands a day) it is a concerning issue.
Old Proven Treatment with Castor Oil
Castor oil is oil derived by pressing the seeds of this plant (Ricinus communis). Its powerful properties to reverse hair loss are known from ancient time.
Here we will present you the mix that will help you with hair loss.
Ingredients needed:
• 5-7 tbsp of cold castor oil
• 3-4 tbsp of coconut oil
• 2 tbsp of liquid protein filler (clear!)
• 2-3 tbsp of jojoba oil
• 1-2 drops of tea tree oil
• 1-2 drops of lavender oil
Method of preparation:
Mix all the ingredients and heat them in a microwave for about 10 seconds.
Check it, because the coconut oil shouldn't' be melted completely at first time. Then heat it again for 15 seconds.
Let it cold, and put it in a small spray bottle.
How to use it?
You can apply it on a wet or dry hair.
Because this mixture is hard to wash out, be sure to wear some old t shirt, before applying it.
Check the temperature before applying also. If it is too cold may clog.
Spray the hair from top to bottom. Shake the bottle regularly. Massage your scalp gently and then cover your hair with a plastic cap.
Leave it as long as you want. It can be 4 hours, it can be 10 hours. It can't do any harm.
Wash it well with warm water.
This mixture will kill any dandruff, and you can apply it on your eyebrows too.
You can use it 2 times a week.
Important notice:
If you are freshly dyed, do not use this mixture at least 5 days after you have dyed your hair.
This mixture can darken the hair, so if you are blonde, be prepared on this.
And please do not use it on animals.

Right frame of Mind
Last night, Paige decided to get her ears pierced. She was excellent. She didn't cry or flinch at all. In fact, she didn't even talk through the whole process. When we got home I asked her if she wanted to cry or if it hurt when she got her ears pierced. She told me, "No Mom. I just kept thinking to myself, Don't cry, Don't panic. It will be fine. Just be brave like God." Can you tell VBS was about how to "Fear Not"

Masculinity Without the Abuse of WomenNovember 12, 2017
via change without force….
The spike in charges by women against men over the past few years regarding alleged sexual improprieties and acts of aggression doesn't suggest any discovery of new information, but does indicate that more women are finding that they are being listened to more, which in turn encourages others to come forward.
The only downside might be that, thus far, the process has been like the sound of one hand clapping. To generate anything of substance, this needs to be a two handed effort. The time-worn women in white hats, men in black theme may inject energy and drama into the issue, but real substantive change will require something new and different if we hope to do more than just wrestle over power and control. It's time to move on from the "who did what to whom?" question and work on "So, what do people want, and what steps need to be taken in order to realize those goals?"
Any such goals should be realistic rather than be rigidly tied to idealism driven by social and political forces. That is not to say that ideals shouldn't guide us, just that they should not dictate the details.
Human beings, like other animals, have an innate nature that is followed whether they are behaving in positive, constructive ways or are being negative and destructive, and everywhere in between. Sometimes, both qualities are expressed simultaneously. Therein may be the challenge: to figure out how to minimize or redirect behaviors and attitudes that threaten to be negative, destructive, or self-contradictory, while favoring and fostering those that are positive and are likely to help the society achieve its goals.
Certain adversarial aspects of the male-female relationship are as old as humanity itself and are rooted in the human nature referred to above. As with all life forms, we are subject to two primary drives: to survive, and to reproduce. Our generally competitive nature is an expression of both, as is our history of violence and conquest that I refer to as the perpetual game of King of the Mountain. The underlying drives may be unlikely to change, and perhaps that is as it should be, but associated behaviors can be changed, and progress has been made over the civilized millennia, as is demonstrated by the evolution of sports as a partial substitute for warfare and other competitive acts of violence.
With the current focus on the historical prevalence of men perpetrating different kinds of sexual aggression and violence against women, I think we need to be cautious not to set our sights on changing those underlying drives, and instead focus on the behavioral responses to them. More realistic, achievable goals should address the ways those drives are specifically manifested in men and in women, and in human beings as a species.
Anthropologist Margaret Mead discovered certain matrilineal cultures among the South Pacific islanders, and some pre-Norman Conquest British societies were said to have had matrilineal systems of succession, but most societies around the globe have been patrilineal. Whether such relationships are desirable within the existing cultures or whether changes will occur will become evident, but changes or the creation of new adaptations will develop through a deeper understanding of ourselves and momentum, not the application of force.
Our cultures have traditionally groomed boys to assume certain roles just as they have groomed girls to assume paths of their own. Those roles weren't dictated, they developed by way of several influences, including biology, adaptation to circumstances, King of the Mountain, and more. Those roles can change, of course, and most likely will over time, but attempting to effect such changes by force would be self-defeating.
It would be helpful to look at the challenges to be faced by males if they are to foster younger generations that retain the positive aspects of their masculinity, yet are not defined by abuse and dominance over women. We would presently hope for future women to retain their femininity without being sexualized in ways that set them up to be predated upon. The idea is not to do away with sexuality, but to try to develop cultural mores around it that are mutually acceptable and fulfilling for both genders
How does one raise a boy to do the things boys do, develop a positive, nonviolent sense of his sexuality while discouraging a disrespectful or exploitative understanding of women and how he should relate to them?
How does one raise a girl to enjoy the activities of her gender-peers, develop a positive, non-submissive knowledge of her self as a person, with a fulfilling sense of her sexuality, and healthy expectations for herself and any mate or mates with whom she establishes a relationship?
We need to discover what the modern male and modern female desires, need, and expects from different kinds of relationships with members of the opposite sex. Men and women need to think about these things and to come up with new, previously unasked questions that can help them begin the process of creating a culture wherein the concepts of rank, power, and value depend upon factors such as ability and achievement rather than simply as a function of biological gender.
Western cultures currently appear to be experimenting with how we view men and women, maleness and femininity. The processes involved and the eventual outcomes may or may not gibe with the current generations of political correctness, but the undertaking will have to look at prevailing historical gender idealizations, understand the genesis and function of those presentations, and make changes where mutually desirable and possible.
This kind of culture would have the potential for a version of "equality" I think people, especially women, have been seeking. We have been attempting to establish concepts of equity by force, and it seems we have not yet recognized that to be a self-defeating process. If humanity is to successfully create new cultural mores, we must facilitate their evolution, not just try to enforce a prescriptive idea of how things should be according to some committee or temporary political majority.
I think we should try.

wow any in new york
I am here in Louisiana. What is a good price to charge for pulling carpet
and pad out? Do i charge by the square foot?
Hey Clay, love the AAA writing on the carpet using the wand. Kinda like the
barista writing your name in the froth of your coffee
@carpetwaterdamage I am glad you liked it. We were trying to get some good
footage of water removal from a carpet and wanted to have a little fun.
Sometimes its hard to see the obvious water in the carpet until you start
removing the water. The contrast is striking once the extraction process
starts. This flooded basement had very wet carpet so it worked well for the
video. Thanx, Clay.

The Great DOB Leninist Smear
Story Utilities
Archipelago Holdings and others in favor of the Reg NMS Depth of Book (DOB) proposal have been smeared by people using techniques that would even mystify Lenin. At least that's what Archipelago suggests in a heated Reg NMS SEC comment letter.
Opponents of the DOB plan are waging "very clever Madison Avenue propaganda," Arca says. Who are these people? Arca didn't specify. But it said the campaign is "being widely disseminated by reactionary forces." DOB backers have been branded "central planners," according to Archipelago.
"It is apocryphal that the Depth-of-Book Alternative is a CLOB," according to the letter, signed by general counsel Kevin O'Hara. Arca said it is illogical to argue that the DOB protection of two cents constitutes a CLOB. "Even Comrade Lenin would be scratching his head trying to understand that dialectic," Arca says.

Since Eric proposed on 8 January, we've been hard at work figuring out how, exactly, to pull off a suitable celebration for our friends and loved ones in under three months. We've settled on the day - 31 March in Istanbul - but a lot of the details are still up in the air. When you consider the fact that we're simultaneously planning our move to Libya (we'll be departing Turkey at the end of April via a month of home leave in the States, and we'll arrive in Tripoli in early June), you can see we've got our planning plates full!
We won't have time to settle on a venue and other useful bits of information before we print and mail our invitations (especially when you consider the time needed to mail things internationally) - so we have to rely on this website to update our friends and family members. We promise that we'll be prompt in our communications and updates to you - all we ask is that you bear with us and be patient as we work out the details.
Thanks again for stopping by. We're looking forward to sharing this special day with you!

Universities and Colleges
Over the years nearly three quarters of Scotland's universities have used our experience and expertise and we have partnered with or provided training and development to 13 colleges across the country.
We know that to tackle gender inequality in science, technology, and engineering and built environment, we need to think about both recruitment of girls into STEM and the retention of those women who have chosen to study in these fields. Colleges and universities therefore have a significant role to play in addressing the issues of the "leaky pipeline" both in terms of reducing the drop off and open the doors to enable more women in.
There is considerable good practice across the sector that needs to be celebrated and with Equality Outcomes, Athena Swan and the Gender Action Plan increasing the focus on these activities, Equate Scotland is here to support this work and the sharing of knowledge and learning.
What we offer:
- Capacity building through training. All of our training and development portfolio can be tailored to the educational setting. We offer one training session for free to all public sector organisations.
- Confident Diversity training specifically for universities and colleges considering how gender is framed within the STEM classroom.
- Provide bespoke support, training and consultancy for interventions you are making in the area of gender equality in STEM
- Deliver career development for women within your institution through tailored workshops or our open CPD and coaching programmes
Ongoing free support through our current funded projects:
- Through our Positive Action Project we can provide free language reviews of marketing, recruitment and course materials and provide information and advice on how to approach taking positive action measures
- Work with you to support the success of your students through our Interconnect student network and Careerwise work placements
"Very informative, well-paced with plenty of active participation"
"Inclusive and transparent information. Excellent communicators"
"Really interesting, informative and thought provoking – lots to take back and share"
"I am much clearer on what is required for the gender action plan, now it's time to consult and write back at the college"
"I found this really useful and got loads of ideas"
"Really useful and informative – good structural approach for progressing GAP"
"Really useful, practical event, acknowledging challenges around GAP whilst giving info and confidence on how to approach it"
"This was such a helpful session, full of ideas and challenges"

How to Find Good Support Groups for Alcoholics
Private rehab clinics and professional counsellors can do a lot to help people struggling with drinking problems overcome those problems. But practically speaking, they cannot perpetually treat patients for the rest of their lives. At some point, those in recovery need to get on with their lives and learn to live without both alcohol and medical treatment. Group support is very helpful in this endeavour.
Support groups for alcoholics provide an environment in which those in recovery can relate with others going through the same things. The idea of group support is one of strength in numbers. If you have 10 or 15 people all working to stay sober, they can help one another by providing accountability, encouragement, and other kinds of support.
We work with private rehab clinics throughout the UK, which include group support as part of their official treatment programmes. Most of them also offer aftercare services that include participation in a local support group. If you are struggling with alcohol yourself, we urge you to take advantage of any opportunity you have to participate in one of these groups.
Finding a Support Group in Your Area
The UK offers quite a few different support groups for alcoholics. We will get to a list in just a moment, but first we should discuss how you can find a group in your area. The fastest and easiest way is to contact us on our 24-hour helpline. Not only will we provide you with support group information, but we can also offer you a comprehensive assessment of your drinking problem. Should our assessment determine you need professional treatment in addition to support group participation, we can connect you with one of the clinics we work with.
Other ways of finding good support groups for alcoholics include:
- talking with your GP
- contacting one of the many alcohol charities in the UK
- doing an online search for alcohol support groups
- utilising government resources for alcohol misuse.
There are a couple of important websites you might find helpful in your search:
- NHS Choices – The NHS Choices website provides a lot of helpful information and advice about drinking problems. It includes a relatively comprehensive database of alcohol support groups and treatment options throughout the NHS service area.
- ADFAM – This charitable organisation specialises in providing advice and help oriented to the entire family. Like NHS Choices, their website includes a list of local alcohol support groups that incorporate both the alcoholic and his or her family.
- Alcohol Focus Scotland – People with drinking problems in Scotland can visit this website to find helpful information. It includes a list of local support groups.
- COAP – COAP is an online community designed to support young people who are concerned about friends or family members who might have drinking problems. They also offer information about local support groups from time to time.
It is important for you to understand that there are many different approaches to helping alcoholics and alcohol abusers overcome their problems. Likewise, various support groups may have different ways of doing things. Whether you go online to search for a local support group or call an organisation like ours for help, you may have to investigate more than one group to find one suitable for you. Once you do find one that works for yourself or a loved one, taking advantage of what the group offers could mean the difference between overcoming a drinking problem and continuing to drink.
Support Group Options in the UK
Support groups for alcoholics vary in their approach to providing support. Perhaps the most common among these groups is Alcoholics Anonymous, a worldwide organisation founded by two recovering alcoholics in the 1930s. Founders Bill Wilson and Bob Smith were both familiar with a similar support group known as the Oxford Group but believed it did not adequately address individual responsibility in alcohol recovery. They founded alcoholics anonymous to answer that need.
Alcoholics Anonymous quickly grew across the US with the establishment of the group's 12 steps to recovery and 12 traditions. By the late 1940s and early 50s, other organisations specialising in a variety of addictions were asking permission to use the Alcoholics Anonymous model for their groups. Today, Alcoholics Anonymous remains the single largest addiction support group organisation in the world.
Other support group options in the UK include:
- Al-Anon – Despite the similarity of their names, Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and Al-Anon are two separate organisations. The latter is similar to the former inasmuch as they have adopted the AA 12-step philosophy of recovery. They are different in that Al-Anon focuses on treating entire families rather than just individual drinkers. Alateen is a sub-group of Al-Anon.
- NACOA – The National Association for the Children of Alcoholics is a support group focused on the children of alcohol-dependent parents and others who might be concerned about their welfare. This is an online group only; they do not offer in-person fellowship or meetings.
- SMART Recovery – The SMART Recovery model is similar to organisations like AA in that it offers group support. What makes it different is how alcoholism is viewed. Rather than being treated as a disease or behavioural issue, the SMART philosophy sees alcohol abuse as a problem that can be overcome through self-empowerment and self-directed change.
- SOS – Secular Organisations for Sobriety combines the group support philosophy of AA with the self-directed principles of SMART. They offer a secular approach to alcohol recovery that eschews the spiritual aspects of AA support.
There is no shortage of local support groups for alcoholics in the UK. Regardless of your preference or need, there is a support group that can help you overcome the alcohol problems that plague you. In closing this guide, we want to offer a reminder about drinking problems you should not ignore: support group participation may not be enough if you are already a full-blown alcoholic.
Alcoholism is clinically defined as an addiction to alcohol. And as with any other addiction, alcoholism affects both the mind and body. Group support is helpful in that it addresses some of the mental and psychological aspects of alcohol addiction. But it cannot address those things adequately by itself. Furthermore, group support in no way addresses the physical components of alcoholism.
Physically withdrawing from alcohol use is a dangerous thing. Withdrawal symptoms that seem minor at the start can quickly escalate into something known as delirium tremens, a dangerous physical condition that can result in serious injury or death.
We are big supporters of support groups for alcoholics. But if you have a serious drinking problem, you may need professional treatment at a private clinic or NHS hospital. Please do not hesitate to contact us to learn more. We can help you figure out if group support is enough or if you need professional, medical treatment.

New Delhi: An alleged middleman allegedly involved in the Rs. 3600-crore VVIP chopper deal had asked Anglo-Italian defence manufacturer AgustaWestland to "target" UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi and her "closest advisers" to bag the 12-helicopter contract, a document submitted in an Italian court suggests.
The alleged middleman, Christian Michel, had sent a fax in this regard to Peter Fullet, who was working with AgustaWestland's India office, official sources said quoting the document that was recovered by the Italian police and produced before a court there in early January.
Michel reportedly wanted Fullet to convey his suggestion to the High Commissioner of his country.
The document lists (Prime Minister) Manmohan Singh, (President) Pranab Mukherjee, Veerappa Moily, Oscar Fernandes, M K Narayanan and Vinay Singh as Mrs Gandhi's "closest advisers".
It reportedly also quotes Michel as saying that Mrs Gandhi "would not be flying anymore in the Mi-8 choppers" and that "she was the driving force behind the VIP". It, however, did not elaborate any further.
The note has been shared by the Italian authorities with their Indian counterparts.
Last month, the Indian government terminated the Rs. 3600-crore deal alleging that AgustaWestland, the British subsidiary of an Italian company contracted to supply the choppers for use by the President, Prime Minister and other VIPs, had breached an integrity pact by allegedly paying bribes to Indian officials.
India is also seeking repayments worth more than Rs. 5200 crore over the scrapped deal.

Well I needn't of had worries/sleepless nights etc. as it all worked out really well. That's me on the left skipping to the money tin, and Emma my best friend and business partner on the right who actually threatened me not to put a picture of her on this blog but I feel its time to stop saying 'I' as most of the time it should be 'we'! So sorry about that Emma but now we have a face to the name!! Emma is a whizzo baker of scrumptious cakes and we had some great feedback (even some orders).Here's our blackboard with our delectable list of cakes!! The Royal Wedding celebration was a great village event with a street party for the kids, local bands etc. and it was great to promote the tearoom. Everyone was so positive and supportive - well worth the pre- angst!
It was so nice to see friends (new and old) enjoying a good ol' cup of tea or freshly brewed coffee from our lovely china (Thanks to Butterworths for the loan of their equipment). We have a few pics of the event which I have uploaded on to Flickr. (link to the right of the blog).
So the events behind us - Kate and Wills are off enjoying their honeymoon! and 'WE' are now raring to go!! So unfortunately our original timetable of opening around about NOW didnt go to plan. Still waiting for the local council to give permission for a couple of things - but the plumber starts on Monday and hopefully the electrician to follow. Will post some progress pics soon. I've left you with a photo of our cupcakes - as you can see we have stickers!! More about those in the next post as we now have 'Our Identity'!! Our lovely (and clever) friends have been working their magic (very exciting) check them out at 'give up art'.

Deep relaxation of the nervous system; finding safety in connection. Often done as a group practice, and can also be done as a way to deepen the connection in your relationship, or as a coaching or therapeutic tool in sessions for building relationship intimacy and even assist in resolving trauma and moving stuck energies.
With relaxed breathing, sounding, eye contact, and touch, we let the animal body know that it's not only safe here, but it is welcome, celebrated and honored. We let the heart know that it is safe to love here, safe to sense and feel, safe to expand and contract, safe to have and trust its own intelligence. Nothing but a series of opportunities to be intimate with the ever-changing present moment.
The primary practice is done in pairs, facing belly to belly at a mutually comfortable level of closeness, and then breathing and sounding in synchrony with each other. While the practice can be profoundly intimate, it is not a sexual practice and is done with clothing on. We will have the opportunity to partner with different people. Partnering can happen in any combination of gender and orientation. All exercises are optional, and boundaries are respected. Be more fully with your Yes, your Maybe and your No!
As we drop in, layer by layer of protection fall away and the dyad becomes the portal in which the relational wounds and traumas are healed. The love goes as deep as one is willing to let somebody else in.
The result is often a deeply experienced peace and joy in relationship to others, a deep sense of being nurtured and loved,
and a joy and a sense of freedom in that you can actually be yourself ~ not just the self you think you need to be in order to be loved, but who you actually are, especially with all that stuff you thought others would not accept you with.
"One of the insights of this practice is that the human body is designed to work not alone but like other primates… the primates and large mammals that we are, we've been designed to work in groups, packs, tribes, herds, at the very least couples. So left alone in our own bodies there is only so far our nervous system can let go. There is always a part of us that is vigilant and when we come together in a group, when we come together in a practice like this, a partnered meditation, my nervous system feels your nervous system and we both keep feedback looping and stepping it down to greater and greater levels of connection and safety and oneness and deeper and deeper levels of relaxation. The result is that the vigilance can finally drop."
"Belly2Belly is a deceptively simple practice that rests on multiple dimensions of neurobiology, pranayama, focused sensory awareness, tantric ritual, intimate communion, witness consciousness, sound entrainment, sequenced relaxation, psychological regression, shadow work, neurolinguistic programming, wizardry and primate zoology. The exercises are designed to dissolve the Western experience of separate self into rhythmic waves of sensation and feeling that are shared with a partner in real time. What results is a profoundly felt sense of peace and connection, a natural biochemical high that neuro-mirrors intimate love, meditative samadhi and mystical oneness."
~ Belly2Belly founder David Cates

I hope that you remember my fingerless glove pattern called Pretty In Pink. Well, as of a short time ago, they have been added to Ravelry patterns!! It's such a relief to finally have it available! I had to wait almost a month for Casey to accept me as a designer, then the pay pal verification didn't work! But I didn't give up and finally, FINALLY, it is offically for sale.
If you look to your left, you will see a picture of the gloves and the Buy Now button. If you wish to purchase the pattern, the cost is $4.50. I've already sold one pattern, possibly more. I hope everyone enjoys making them as much as I did.

I apologise for the lack of updates on this blog. Essentially i am in a coding phase. So at the present time i am just coding and am trying to put forward a prototype to show at the next meeting.
There is an update on my environment however. I have changed my coding environment from windows to linux for the sole reason that it is easier to install and use libraries.

Dear Editor,
For many years I have been on record as saying that General Management was going to absorb Project Management which would be in line with Alan Stretton's Scenario Two. I want to make a few comments on the article. Historically, at the beginning PMI was really CMI or Construction Management Institute and the people who started the PMBOK were for the most part construction people. That means they were contractor types who did not get involved until a development project had already gone thru the early stages of identification, feasibility, design and financing. That is one reason why the PMBOK deals almost entirely with Implementation. Secondly in many organizations like power companies a different group from implementation does the early planning leading up to construction.
I have long quoted Bob Gillis of Canadian Pacific RR, "are we in the development business or just the implementation business?" To succeed in long run we need to be in the development business. Front end work is however strategic work not detailed engineering. One reason why the Logical Framework or Hierarchy of Objectives which never appears in PMBOK is important, is that it connects projects to the organization's strategic and policy objectives.
Now, why will General Management absorb PM? 1. Projects are becoming more important to organizations for many reasons; 2. Project management activities are one of the few ways that up and coming managers gain cross functional experience; 3. PMs are like general managers and can gain profit and loss experience earlier in their careers; 4. Business Schools are starting to teach project management as well as engineering schools.

Music, Tea and a Bun
The setting Sun fading away;
I'm resting here, under the knitted throw;
waiting for the end to this musical day.
of raucous music and dancing steps.
But not to worry; I'll escape all fame,
as I'm terrible at dancing; truly not adept.
the beat sounds good, but my arms are done.
And alas I fade, the guitar needs a strum.
But the clock tells the tale, time for Tea and a Bun."

Ladies of Liberty- Jamie Fortier
There is a particular group of soldiers and veterans who largely go unrecognized and underappreciated. That would be our women in uniform. To change that, I've decided to do a "Ladies of Liberty" series, in which I ask many of our heroines who have served, or who are still serving questions about their service.
I'd like to introduce all of you now to Jamie Fortier. Jamie is a twenty seven year old veteran of the war in Iraq who is married and has two sons. She works as a CNA and she is also finishing up a degree in computer forensics. She deployed to OIF III in 2005 with the 3rd Infantry division out of Fort Stewart Georgia.
I asked Jamie several questions about her time in service, and this is what she had to say:
KL- When and why did you join the military, and was there any particular reason you chose your specific branch?
JF- I joined the Army to get away from where I grew up and also because I wanted to fight for my country and for things that I felt were right. I am proud of who I am, and I wanted to show that and make something of myself. I actually chose my job because it was the one that left the soonest after signing.
KL- What is one of your greatest accomplishments, as you see it, as a soldier?
JF- My greatest accomplishment as a soldier I think was to be able to do the job that was asked of me. I know that might be somewhat odd to say but as a soldier at times you are asked to give everything you have and to put your trust into others. Being able to do that whole heartedly was an accomplishment for me.
KL- What is your fondest and/or least fond military memory?
JF- My fondest memory is sitting on the checkpoint in South Baghdad. The sun was starting to set and me and several of the infantry guys were just hanging out chatting. We were waiting for someone to come through the checkpoint and at that time in the evening things were really slow. We had a little runner boy there by the name of Ali. As we stood there watching the sun set over the Tigris river, this little eleven year old boy told me about how until the United States came into Iraq he had never been able to see the night sky. It showed me how much we had changed these people's lives.
KL- When and why did you ETS?
JF- I got out of the active duty Army in 2007. I was supposed to get a medical board but instead took a pregnancy chapter because- well to be honest- I didn't really realize that there was a difference. Yes, I was a little naïve back then. After that I did a year National Guard which after doing active duty I hated- lol. I loved the military life.
KL- What would you have done differently, if anything, during your military service?
JF- The first thing I would have done differently is that I wouldn't have gotten out. I would have stayed in as long as I possibly could. There is nothing better than the feeling of knowing that you are willing to give everything for the people and the country that you love.
KL- In recent times, women have gained the right to join combat arms M.O.S.s. What are your views on this? Also, many people- both men and women- disagree with this choice. What would be your message to them?
JF- When I was deployed I was assigned to an infantry unit as a female searcher along with several other amazing females. We were the first ones to do anything of that kind. We went on raids, patrols, and checkpoints with the males. We did the same things that they did because we were there to help with the female Iraqis. When my guys were at a checkpoint taking fire I was right along beside them, behind concrete barriers taking shots with them. There was nothing different between me and them. They were amazing soldiers who were willing to teach me the things that I didn't know anything about.
Instead of seeing me as a female like so many people are worried about, they saw me as a sister. There was nothing inappropriate; they respected me just as I did them.
Males in combat units see each other as brothers. Well, there are some females that will see you the same way. I am not saying that all females are cut out for combat arms MOS's, but there are some that are willing and ready to come in and do the same job and make the same sacrifice that men are willing to make. Why not let them?
We understand that we will have to prove ourselves just as men have had to, but at least give us the chance to without automatically assuming we will fail. Believe in us like we do you.
KL- Knowing what you know now after having served, would you do it all again?
JF- In a heartbeat! I in fact, I tried to go back in, but due to my disability rating I was not allowed to. I miss it every day.

Audio Cables
Audio cables carry the audio signal from you different piece of equipment ie. DJ decks to DJ mixer. We have a range of cables to connect anything to anything! Whether it's CD decks to mixers, mixers to amplifiers or integrating effects modules and computer DJ solutions. We have jack cables, speaker cables, phono cables or anything else you may need!
Traktor Scratch Multicore Replacement Set
£25.00Available to order
When purchasing an audio cable, there are many different factors that you need to consider too make sure you are going to be getting the best performance from your set-up. You will often that the cable is an afterthought, leaving it as the weakest component of an audio set-up, which in turn is going to drag down the performance that you are looking to achieve.
With that in mind, all of the cables that we can provide for you are going to do the job to the maximum potential in their price bracket, exceeding the performance of less well-manufactured cables that may be on the market. It is imperative that the resistance is correct for the cable, as this is one easy way of losing performance in your system, which would be down to the cable.
The majority of cables will be manufactured using copper, although not exclusively, as some of the higher end cables will be used using silver, due to its higher conductivity properties. On top of this OFC (Oxygen Free Copper), which will again have slightly higher conductivity enabling better performance, although it is debated in the industry whether it is significant enough. As well as this it will be slightly more resistant to corrosion.
Taking all this into consideration, we make sure that all of our Jack cables, mini jack, speakon, XLR and the other items are the best around. IF there is anything else you would like to know, don't hesitate to call us on 0121 224 7650.
