Hi, I'm Abhilash T.G. I'm currently pursuing my third year bachelors degree in computer science and engineering at Amrita University, India. I'm familiar with contributing to opensource and have contributed significantly for the Sun Microsystem's Code for freedom contest(OpenSolaris and Apache Derby ). http://in.sun.com/communities/univ/codeforfreedom/winners.html My name is Abhilash T.G I have experience in developing applications in j2ee and my project was judged among the top five in IBM's The Great Mind Challenge. I am a very quick learner.Since I'm already familiar with bug fixing i feel i will be a right person to do it. Besides I will be able to work about 8-10 hrs from May 15th. I would love to work on fixing bugs in derby and also take up some enhancements posted in the jira. I had downloaded the code for Derby via SVN and then did a full compile and build the source code. I also did some documentation work to share it with my friends. had attended the Sun Tech Days'08 at Hyderabad which gave me an opportunity to meet and interact with people working with OpenSource. I am also the founding members of the Sun Club at our campus aimed at promoting OpenSource technologies like Opensolaris, Netbeans, GlassFish, Derby, OpenPortal, OpenJDK, OpenOffice etc. I would love to carry forward the work i done for Sun Code for freedom. regards Abhilash

Now over 40 years running, this spring's Lugu Farmers' Association Dong Ding Oolong Tea Competition consisted of 6,441 entries. The results were posted earlier this month, and the spring competition fair was held on Dragon Boat Festival holiday.
41% of the overall entries are disqualified from the competition in the long arduous task of judging the quality of each tea in a systematized process that has been developed over decades by the world's leading professional tea makers and researchers. Below is a snapshot of the initial grading process involving six teams of six individuals who have undergone rigorous training and testing to become qualified judges by the farmers' association.
These preliminary judges are all local residents of Lugu Township, and virtually all of these judges are tea farmers. This is one fundamental aspect of how the farmers' association has designed the competition to integrate the production standards of locally produced tea with the promotion of this traditional product of regional origin that has become world renowned. Below is a shot of the single finalist team of national tea judges employed by the government funded Tea Research and Extension Station. Without going into too much detail, the judging process takes weeks of continuous assessment to finalize decisions on the award winning teas. Notice that the there are two tea bowls per cup in the image below. This shows that the highest ranking teas are brewed twice for the most rigorous comparisons of the highest quality tea entries. Three grams of tea leaves brewed for six minutes undergo assessment by the most qualified professionals, and then are brewed for a second time to determine their full spectrum of consistency. In a word, this is serious business! More information on Taiwan's tea competitions can be found in our Knowledge Base.
Here is the tea being packaged and sealed with the farmers' association certification of authenticity. So much work and resources are involved in representing some of the world's highest quality tea, guaranteed by dozens of individuals with generations of experience behind them!
We've observed this competition for over 20 years now, providing English translation of its methodology and representation of this local treasure of Dong Ding Oolong Tea. And along the way, we get to participate in the celebration of our tea friends receiving awards for their exhausting efforts that we've witnessed year after year. If consumers only knew how much time, energy, and resources go into producing this level of quality tea, they would then understand the value that this competition has created for it. Below is a shot our friends and teachers whom we procure tea from on an ongoing basis. A husband and wife team with their son and daughter pose for a photo with the mayor of Nantou County and other local officials for their 5th place award winning prize they received.
We were offered a share in this 5th Place Award winning tea that was sold out within a week of the results being posted. A few of our subscribers took advantage of this exclusive offer to purchase this prize winning tea in its certified packaging that makes it some of the highest valued tea in the world. We were there on that rainy morning when the tea was distributed to its owners to pay personal tribute.
It was a hectic scene, but our friends remained calm as they retrieved their award winning tea in its competition packaging to take home, and then embark on the next step of distributing it to their customers who reserved their shares.
Just enough space for a few more boxes to be packed in the car on this rainy morning and transported back home — where these teas were cured and prepared for days and weeks on end. Such is the life of local artisans in Taiwan's Oolong Central!

UK Licensing laws cover 3 licensable activities which are defined in the Licensing Act 2003; alcohol, entertainment and late night refreshment services.
By law a licence will be needed for:
The purposes of the licensing laws are to prevent crime, promote public safety, protect children from harm and prevent public nuisance.
The licensable activities are then subject to various forms of authorisation which include:
Authorisation for a licensed activity is obtained from the Local Authority and authorisation for a licensed activity is only granted after completion of the licensing process.
In order to be authorised to provide the licensable activities, you must apply to the Local Authority to hold a premises licence. A new application must be sent to various responsible authorities who can then make representations if they a) do not wish to consent to the licence or b) they will agree to the licence, but only with certain conditions. If there are no representations the licence will be granted.
In the event that a licence is not granted, you can appeal to the Magistrates Court. BRM can offer advice, attend the hearing and represent you should you wish to appeal.
Pub licensing and nightclub licensing are common licensing applications and both pub and nightclubs will require one or more licenses to sell alcohol, provide entertainment or hot food.
You might be surprised to know that alcohol licensing law has existed for over 500 years. The first incarnation of the alcohol licensing law was strangely enough intended to stop indoor games being played in pubs! The games were seen as a distraction from archery which was seen as an activity necessary for defence of the country. Later revision of the law sought to preserve public order.
As the need for accomplished archers is much less nowadays, modern licensing law exists much more to stop the sale of alcohol to minors, prevent public disorder and crime. Not only must the premises where the sale of alcohol is taking place from be licensed, but there must also be a Designated Premises Supervisor ("DPS") The DPS must have their own personal licence and would normally be the person involved in the day-to-day running of the sale of alcohol and will be a point of contact for the police and the council.
A wide range of entertainments are regulated by UK licensing law including theatrical performances, music, concerts, dancing, sporting events, film exhibitions and cinema.
Early versions of UK entertainment licensing law existed in order to preserve and uphold public morality, with any attempt to control public disorder secondary to this but the principles for the need for entertainment licensing and regulation have evolved over time.
Apart from a few exceptions, you will need an entertainment licence if you are planning to provide forms of public entertainment to an audience in your premises such as:
A licence is needed if any facilities for entertainment are provided for members of the public, members of a club or if entertainment is provided with the intention of making a profit.
Late night refreshment services are a licensable activity under the terms of the Licensing Act 2003.
The definition of late night refreshment services are a business selling hot food or hot drink between 11pm and 5am. A licence for late night refreshment services is most often required by takeaways and late night cafes (including mobile cafes; burger vans, hot dog stands and the like)
There are exemptions to the requirement for a licence with two examples being staff canteens and premises selling food which can be consumed straight away in an all night grocery shop. Several other exemptions exist.
We have vast experience in helping businesses and individuals with licensing law. BRM regularly provide advice on licensing law to many prominent local businesses and individuals for one-off events through to opening large licensed venues. This includes initial applications, transferring licences or appealing any decisions at the Magistrate's Court or in front of the Licensing Committee.
Dealing with pub licensing law and nightclub licensing law are common tasks for us, so whatever issues you have, our licensing solicitors can help.

CHINO, Calif. — California Exotic Novelties presents two new stimulators, the Impulse Triple Tease and the Impulse Pleasure Jewel.
They are part of the Platinum Collection.
"Products in the Platinum Collection are designed with optimal pleasure in mind," said Susan Colvin, president and CEO of California Exotic Novelties.
"The new Impulse Triple Tease and Impulse Pleasure Jewel are amazing products that offer unparalleled functions and features."
Equipped with triple motors to succinctly target three erogenous zones at once, the Platinum Collection Impulse Triple Tease and the Pleasure Jewel are designed for complete satisfaction, the company said.
There is an intense micro motor for G-spot arousal, an independent motor in the clitoral stimulator, and a third motor in the shaft.
"The three motors are an incredible feature that will surely equal big sales at checkout," said Jackie White, vice president of sales for California Exotic Novelties. "When women ask for a premium rabbit-style vibrator, show them the Triple Tease and the Pleasure Jewel."
The stimulators have seven functions of vibration, pulsation and escalation. The shaft has three speeds of rotation for the three rows of non-jamming metal beads. There is also a hot button for random function selection.
"The hot button allows women to experiment with different functions," said Al Bloom, director of marketing for California Exotic Novelties. "A quick touch creates a totally different experience for the adventurous user."
The Triple Tease is pink, has a fluttering triple stimulator and a curved shaft head. The Pleasure Jewel is purple, has a nubbed stimulator for added sensation, and a realistic shaft head.
The new Platinum Collection Impulse Triple Tease and Pleasure Jewel are available now from California Exotic Novelties.

J&L Campaigns & Characters
Here you will find all the information about running or playing in a J&L Campaign. First lets look at the groups involved in manageing this shared campaign world. There are three major groups involved in managing the shared world; The Raven's Flock, The Grey Lanterns, and the Players. each of these groups is detialed below.
Saiderin and the Raven's Flock - This team of dedicated folks help to coordinate the stories, help GMs and players with game and story ideas, and review content for the J&L Worldbook Wiki.
Grey Lanterns - Grey Lantern is a special title given to every Game Master of a Justice and Life campaign. In the game world, the Grey Lanterns are a clandestine branch of the Grey Rangers, who work to share information among various ranger outposts, and combat the more subtle enemies of the Rangers. It is suggested that each GM have a persona in their games that acts as a grey lantern. It can be anyone from a soilder or merchant to your own hero or a commander at a nearby ranger outpost.
Players - The players are truly the most important aspect of the Justice and Life campaign. You control the heroes who create the legendary tales of the world. Every action your character takes in a Justice and Life campaign becomes an official part of the Shaintar canon. The changes you make to the world have a real impact on everyone else playing in the shared game world.
Campaign Management
As you can imagine trying to build this type of shared world would not be possible without the tools to manage everything.
When we first launched this effort we tried to tackle campaign management ourselves. This prooved to be to much work for our entirely volunteer staff so we have since moved to using Obsidian Portal for all our campaign managment needs.

Corporate Video Production
It is not long since use of the word 'Corporate' conjured up images of towering offices, chrome and glass and flash suits – enormous companies lacking soul.
A great corporate video is an ideal way to dispel the last vestiges of this negative imagery. Well planned and well made corporate video productions convey the vision and mission of a company in a lively and compelling way. The 'voice' or 'style' of the film helps to communicate attitudes and values – the companies 'feel', as well as the facts that need to be conveyed.
In addition to the actual words that are spoken in the film, how it all looks and it's 'tone of voice' will make a huge difference to how viewers interpret the company behind the message. Careful thought, planning and creativity is essential.
Our experience and attention to detail will ensure that your corporate story is told in a way that reflects and reinforces your vision and values.
We use story-boarding and extensive planning to ensure you will know beforehand the intention and direction of the film, and our first class and skilled crew will ensure it is brought to life with a minimum of fuss or stress.
If you'd like to talk with us about creating your corporate video, then we'd love to hear from you!

I toured the school and left feeling heartbroken. I am scared for whoever sends their child there. The staff were cruel, unprofessional, and were screaming at the children. There didn't seem to be a single person there who cared or who knew how to handle the kids. The inside was dirty, falling apart.. This was nowhere near a real Montessori school, lacking most if not all current Montessori work for for the various age groups. I felt the director wasn't an honest person. Also, some of these reviews online seem to be fake.
We were new to the area and visited a few schools, none made us feel as welcomed as did Alpha. The Director was friendly and informative. The school was clean and orderly. The choice was made to select Alpha when we dropped in unecpected and the children were all very happy. We were greeted by many of the children- this made our little girl feel welcome, she did not want to leave! Thank you for giving us piece of mind, we feel comfortable in the knowledge we can view the school and watch our daughter anytime we want on the internet.
my child atended Alpha Monressori for, 3 years. We loved it!! She was thrilled to wake up and go to school each day. The staff were caring and attentive. They prepared her for Kindergarten. We still pass by from time to time to visit.I Highly recommend Alpha Montessori. We could not have asked for a better first school experience.

An imbalance in the female hormones (progesterone and estrogen) of a woman could cause the lady to have excessive testosterone in the body. This enhanced concentration of the male hormones, called androgens, could cause infertility and menstrual problems in some ladies, along with exaggerated male traits such as deepening voices and facial hair, thanks to the high testosterone levels.

With your help,
this will become a reality.
The Pride of the Lions Campaigns have raised more than $200,000 to support projects including the renovation of boys' and girls' locker rooms, a long-overdue regulation baseball field on campus, and the establishment of the RCHS Hall of Fame.
This year, Roselle Catholic has another very important goal – to renovate and update the track and field complex and provide our hard-working student athletes with a state-of-the-art facility they deserve.
We Need Your Support!
This is a major fundraising project with an ambitious goal to raise the money to dramatically improve the RC Campus. We can only reach that goal – and make this much-needed Athletic Complex a reality – with the help of our alumni, donors and friends.
We respectfully ask you to consider making a gift to this year's campaign, we promise it will be a worthwhile investment!
Frank Gagliano Athletic Complex
We are proud to announce that the new athletic complex will be named after former RCHS Track and Field Coach Frank Gagliano.
During his 9-year tenure at RCHS, Coach Gagliano built a track and field program that rose to national prominence and set the tone for athletic success and traditions that the RCHS community would enjoy for 57 years following his leadership.
His Lion's notably captured 3 Penn Relay Championship of America titles, 3 NJ State Indoor Track titles and a State Cross Country Championship. Coach Gagliano continued his coaching career with success at Manhattan University, Rutgers University, The Nike Farm Team and as head coach at Georgetown University for 18 years.
Bobby Hoffman
Championship Track
Part of the new athletic complex, The Bobby Hoffman Championship Track will be named after Bobby Hoffman, a dedicated, loyal and hard-working RCHS student-athlete who was a 12-time varsity letter winner and member of Coach Gagliano's Cross Country and Indoor Track teams.
He ran on RC's first two Penn Relay Championship of America teams and was named Union County Scholar Athlete during his 1965 senior year. After graduation, Bobby became the first RC student to attend the US Military Academy at West Point. After serving a tour of duty in Vietnam where Bobby led the last US Rangers combat mission of that war, he continued to serve his country in the military for 20 years, retiring as a Lieutenant Colonel. After retirement, Bobby worked for FitForce, a company that assessed the fitness levels of police forces across the United States and designed the police fitness programs. Bobby passed away the summer of 2017 after a courageous battle with brain cancer and had the distinct special honor of burial at West Point.
1. A restricted gift to fund the Bobby Hoffman Championship Track at the Gagliano Athletic Complex
2. A gift directed to support the operational costs for an individual sports program of your choice.

The Cambridge Phenomenon
Image: The Cambridge Phenomenon
Cambridge has developed an outstanding record of business success, based on a symbiotic relationship between a world-leading University and one of Europe's top technology clusters. Isaac Newton, Charles Darwin, Crick and Watson, and Stephen Hawking are some of the most famous of Cambridge's scientists whose ideas have changed the world. Our scientists continue to make startling new discoveries and it is their work, when commercialised, which is behind many of Cambridge's successes and growth.
In 1960, the first of a vibrant community of entrepreneurial companies was founded by two Cambridge graduates to 'put the brains of Cambridge University at disposal of the problems of British industry'. Cambridge Consultants† was the catalyst for what is arguably Europe's leading technology cluster. Such has been its growth, the term Cambridge Phenomenon is used widely to describe the incredible explosion of technology, life science, clean technology, agri-tech and service companies that has occurred in the city since then. See 50 Fascinating Facts about Cambridge technology to really understand the incredible scientific and engineering developments that have come out of the city.
Several external factors drove the growth of the cluster: high-technology companies had excellent growth potential, industry was increasingly looking to universities for technological advances, and universities were also keen to link with business, due to the need to find alternative sources of finance as government funding dwindled. There was also a developing ecosystem of facilities and service providers to support the growing companies. This evolved dramatically in the late 1990s with the establishment of two major new networks – ERBI (now One Nucleus) and Cambridge Network. Another factor is Cambridge's convenient proximity to London.
By the middle of the 2000s, a flourishing entrepreneurial ecosystem had evolved. Cambridge Enterprise was established to act as a focus for start-up support activities and the Centre for Entrepreneurial Learning was launched to draw together and expand the range of practically-focused entrepreneurship training programmes. The latter has now been incorporated into the Cambridge Judge Business School Entrepreneurship Centre. Organisations such as these, as well as those such as the student-led Cambridge University Entrepreneurs (CUE) society, have worked to create a period which has seen a marked increase in entrepreneurship and innovation in the city. See more on entrepreneurship in the city.
Such is the city's success that it has become a magnet for highly qualified engineers, scientists, entrepreneurs, venture capitalists and business people, and for companies looking for the perfect location to start up in or move to. And it is this growth which presents the city with perhaps its greatest challenge – how it can continue to grow and enjoy its extraordinary success unless vital investment in infrastructure such as housing and transport occurs, but without spoiling its unique nature. Herein lies the raison d'être of Cambridge Ahead.

This September, Trippe-Hilderbrandt Gallery in Easton will be presenting a very special exhibit of the woodcuts of Philip McMartin. McMartin's son, Jim, is well known in the area as an exceptional designer and creator of benchcrafted artisan furniture and co-owner of McMartin and Beggins in Wittman, Md.
Philip McMartin was born and raised in Plattsburgh, New York. Moving to Vermont in his early twenties, his first job was as a reporter for the St. Johnsbury daily newspaper. His early reporting career gave him experience in both photography and writing, two skills he would use throughout his life.
The series of woodcuts were done over an approximately five year period. It's likely that the experience gained working with wood in the course of repairing and restoring his boats influenced his interest in choosing wood as a medium for his art. He produced a total of about 20 woodcuts over the period beginning in 1968.
In retrospect, he was a completely self taught man in virtually all of the endeavors of his life. Included in that was his art. A very independent and solitary man by nature, he taught himself the art of the woodcut having no formal training. His chosen subject matter was very close to his heart. The romance he felt for the water is certainly expressed in his woodcuts. Add to that the admiration and respect he felt for people who make a living using their hands, their wits and wisdom, in particular those among us who wrest a living working on the water.
The exhibit opens on September 1 with a special reception during First Friday's Gallery Walk. Trippe-Hilderbrandt Gallery is located at 23 N Harrison St. For more information please call 410-310-8727 or visit trippehilderbrandtgallery.com.

SOME DELTONA residents could make a wrong assumption from recent comments in the battle for incorporation. Some incorporation supporters say that the Deltona Municipal Services District has the highest tax rate in Volusia County.
I believe these critics are not comparing apples to apples. They are comparing apples to oranges.
Yes, Deltona has a tax rate of $21.17 per $1,000 of taxable property value. If you look solely at property taxes, that is the highest rate in Volusia County. But there are other fees to consider. Property taxes are not the only taxes residents must pay.

QuickHealth opens in Fremont, with 5 more sites in the works
BURLINGAME, Calif. The era of the retail clinic continues to evolve as QuickHealth opened itsninth location inside a Wal-Mart store in Fremont, Calif., last month, the companysaid.
Only two years after opening its first clinic, the company also has plans for five more locations before the end of the year, including one inside a Longs Drugs in Fairfield, and 200 more over the next few years. "If you're talking about convenience care, the soccer mom with the 8-year-old who has strep throat, how many of those would come in a Wal-Mart or a Longs," QuickHealth chief executive officer David Mandelkern told the East Bay Business Times. "And the conclusion was maybe 10 to 15 a day would come in, and that is not enough."
Despite naysayers who believe that retail clinics may be set up for failure, Mandelkern says he believes that QuickHealth will soon be profitable. While it takes close to a year to have a QuickHealth location operate smoothly, and hire enough physician assistants to fulfill the patient-doctor ratio, these financial setbacks allow QuickHealth to offer a wider array of services than what Mandelkern dubbed as "nurse kiosks."
QuickHealth offers no-appointment-necessary, 15-minute consultations with a doctor for $49, and even offers an array of services ranging from wart removal to suturing minor cuts. Also among these services, patients can also receive immunizations and tests ranging from liver function to pregnancy. A special-value "healthy lover" package, including physical exam, STD and HIV tests will cost around $199.
QuickHealth's approach is to appeal to the uninsured market (as 75% of its patients don't have coverage) rather than the affluent looking for convenient care. Payment is cash only.
The number of retail clinics has increased dramatically in the United States According to a report produced for the California HealthCare Foundation; there had been less than 100 retail clinics in operation last year. Presently, Drug Store News estimates the total at more than 600.
Evista gets FDA approval for new use to reduce breast cancer risk
INDIANAPOLIS The Food and Drug Administration has approved a new application for Eli Lilly's osteoporosis drug Evista. The drug is now indicated as a way to reduce the risk of invasive breast cancer.
The drug's new use is designed for postmenopausal women with osteoporosis and postmenopausal women at high risk for invasive breast cancer. "The FDA's decision marks a major milestone. For the first time, postmenopausal women with osteoporosis will have one treatment option that can help address two leading health concerns—osteoporosis and invasive breast cancer," said Gwen Krivi, vice president of Lilly Research Laboratories.
The approval comes less than a year after the application was submitted to the FDA and also carries a recommendation of the Oncologics Drug Advisory Committee.
Cubist to ask for patent reissue for Cubicin
LEXINGTON, Mass. Cubist Pharmaceuticals is planning on asking U.S. regulators to reissue a patent on the drug Cubicin to block generic competition.
Cubicin is used as a treatment for skin infections and is set to lose its patent in 2016. Cubist is going to ask the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to correct and reissue a patent regarding the purity level of the compound daptomycin, which is the key ingredient in Cubicin.
On Wednesday, generic manufacturers were allowed to seek approval from the Food and Drug Administration to sell generic versions of the drug. Now, with Cubist seeing corrections from the patent office, the original patent will be removed from the FDA's registry of information on approved drugs until the mater is handled.

It is no secret that social media has revolutionized how we communicate over the past few years. While there are many advantages to recent technological advances, there is a downside to Facebook posts, tweets, and blogs. When communicating online, context and tone are often either missed or assumed. These missing elements open the door to minor misunderstandings and sharp rebukes. Already tense dialogues can be made worse by the public nature of online interactions as well as the fact that often our social media "friends" are actually strangers. As Christians, we recognize that not all conflicts or disagreements are bad but online battles can damage our witness.
There is never a lack of news that either makes our day or makes our day worse. Whether good or bad, we tend to share news within our circle of friends which are likely to be people who look or think like us. While this is not inherently wrong it could be enabling our blind spots. To better serve Southeastern and the surrounding community, we created the Bagged Lunch Series, an informal open discussion assessing current topics through a variety of Christian perspectives. The first installation of our series this semester will be September 5th. Bring your lunch and let's talk!

Welcome to my blog
Hi everyone,
Today my blog was officially 'born' and so another birthday celebration to plan each year! I have that same exhausted feeling of euphoria I had when my two girls graced the world and lay tightly wrapped in their pink waffle weave blankets in those plastic hospital cribs :)
If you click on some of the categories at the top, they may be empty! Sorry! Within the next month or so they will be filled with lots to read and hopefully loads of inspiration. So stick to recipes for the moment.
I hope you like what you see…if you do, your encouragement won't go unnoticed!( I now have new admiration for every successful blogger.) It takes time and passion to find good and interesting content to publish and I hope Marmite on toast is able to do just that for you…..
It is nearly midnight and time for some sleep, and sweetly creative dreams - so good-night for today x Lisa-Jane x
Wow Lisa, you have grown your blog to 11 articles already! I wish I could build content that fast on my websites!
Well, congratulations on the birth of your new baby blog. I know it will be a huge success, and your readers will be banging down your door for more and more of your scrumptious recipes and reviews etc.

From Warrenville, South Carolina, USA:
My three year old daughter is going through tests to see how bad her diabetes is. Her doctor said that she has honeymooners diabetes which I have never heard of. Can you give me some background on this type? Is it also called a different name?
There is not a degree of severity with type 1 diabetes in young children. However, there are periods of time when diabetes can be more difficult to control and times where blood sugar control is much easier. The honeymoon is the period of time shortly after the diagnosis of type 1 diabetes during which there is some restoration of insulin production, and the blood sugar levels improve to normal, or near-normal, levels. Unfortunately, like other honeymoons, this diabetes honeymoon doesn't last forever. It may last for weeks, months, or occasionally, years. You can read more questions that other parents have asked about the honeymoon on this site.
[Editor's comment: Discuss this further with your daughter's diabetes team. If your daughter is not under the care of a pediatric endocrinologist, and you aren't able to get answers from her present physician, ask for a referral. WWQ]

Among the most inventive and influential bands in the history of popular music, 10cc are one of the very few acts to have achieved commercial, critical and creative success in equal measure, with their current live incarnation still able to sell-out major concert halls.
Testament to 10cc's ongoing appeal, the band can count an array of fellow artists – from Robert Plant, Chrissie Hynde and Axl Rose to The Feeling's Dan Gillespie and Sophie Ellis Bextor – among their many millions of fans.
With eleven Top 10 hits, including three No 1s – Rubber Bullets, I'm Not In Love and Dreadlock Holiday – it's no surprise the band has sold 15 million albums in the UK alone.
Founding member Graham Gouldman, who leads the current line-up, puts 10cc's longevity down to the quality and individuality of the songs. "They don't seem to date; they are original, we never followed any trend we simple wrote for our own pleasure. The fact that the songs are being played as often on the radio today as they ever were shows how true that is," he says.
"The current band is as near as you're ever going to get to hearing the perfect 10cc," says Gouldman. "Hit after hit after hit. It's relentless. We show no mercy."
The live band's line-up is:
Graham Gouldman - bass, guitars, vocals
Rick Fenn - lead guitar, vocals, bass
Paul Burgess - drums, percussion
Mick Wilson - vocals, percussion, guitar, keyboards
Mike Stevens - keyboards, guitar, bass, sax, vocals
Paul has worked with 10cc from the beginning and Rick joined the live band in the mid-'70s. Mike is also musical director with Take That, among other major artistes.

There are many different types of fuel available to use in vehicles. At the moment, most vehicles run on either diesel or petrol. However, there are various types of petrol and diesel, such as leaded and unleaded petrol, and even super unleaded petrol.
Technological advances have also meant that new methods of powering vehicles have become available, including LPG Autogas and Biofuels.
Most vehicles owners are aware that some vehicles require petrol and others require diesel, but know little about the difference between the fuel options available.
Find out more about each fuel type below:
This is produced from renewable energy sources such as sugar beet, rape seed, palm oil and sunflowers. It is a biological substitute for regular diesel. Bio-diesel is more environmentally friendly than conventional cars which run on petrol and diesel for many reasons; it is not toxic and doesn't produce as much damaging exhaust emissions. Even though bio-diesel produces carbon dioxide as a by-product, the plants grown to create the fuel absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere during photosynthesis. This means that the net carbon emission into the atmosphere is much less than non bio-fuels .
This is a biological fuel substitute for petrol and is made from renewable energy sources. It has much the same benefits as bio-diesel but is less common, Its popularity as a bio-product is increasing however.
Lightweight fuel oil used in diesel engines. Like petrol, it is a petroleum product. When used in vehicle engines, it is also known as derv (diesel-engine road vehicle).
Diesel cars have about a 30% better fuel efficiency than petrol powered vehicles. They also last longer reducing the need to repair or purchase a new car. Diesel vehicles release less carbon dioxide than petrol powered cars, but release more volatile organic compounds and nitrous oxides contributing to ozone smog.
Most cars powered by LPG in the UK are hybrid vehicles and are much more environmentally friendly and fuel efficient than petrol engines. They produce fewer emissions of carbon dioxide, hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and nitrous oxides than both petrol and diesel powered vehicles. LPG also causes less wear and tear to the vehicle and is more fuel efficient, saving you money.
Super Unleaded
Most of the large oil companies are now selling 'super fuels' – petrols and diesels that have a higher research octane level. These fuels are said to increase power in many vehicles, deliver less pollution than regular fuels and help to maintain a cleaner engine
Petrol manufactured without the addition of antiknock. It has a slightly lower octane rating than leaded petrol, but has the advantage of not polluting the atmosphere with lead compounds. Many cars can be converted to run on unleaded petrol by altering the timing of the engine, and most new cars are designed to do so. Cars fitted with a catalytic converter must use unleaded fuel.

The Gallery 4 presents
"Once Again Calm" surreal minimalist landscapes
by Thomas Frontini
"Once Again Calm" opens Saturday, August 2nd, 2014 and runs through Saturday, August 30th, 2014 at The Gallery 4 (206 S. Highland Ave., Shadyside, 412-363-5050). The opening reception will take place Saturday, August 2nd, 2014 from 7-11PM and will be opened to the general public with complimentary refreshments and cocktails provided by The Gallery 4. The Gallery 4 is open Tuesday through Saturday 1- 8PM .
The Gallery 4 is pleased to welcome Thomas Frontini. Born in Kingston, Ontario in 1967; his father from Fauligia, Italy and his mother from London, England moved to Canada in the early 60's. Thomas currently lives and works at his studio in Cleveland, Ohio where he earned an B.F.A. in Painting from the Cleveland Institute of art and an M.F.A in Painting from from Ohio State University, after attending The Institute for Art and Restoration in Florence, Italy. A thoroughly international spirit, Thomas has had hundreds of professional, teaching, museum and gallery curation and conservation, and solo and group exhibition experiences throughout the country and all over the world. An impressive resume, expected from a talented, critically lauded, and accomplished virtuoso.
That said, The Gallery 4 is so proud to receive Frontini in exhibiting in Pittsburgh for the first time! Since 1990, Thomas has been displaying his work in contemporary art venues. From then to present, he's covered themes ranging from painting elemental spheres and shapes, rockets, figures and animals amid mythological and biblical narrative landscapes, stoic portraits of birds and children, figurative sculptures and carvings - the list continues and themes overlap. With his skill in portraying subtleties in both line and gesture, his ability to present a complicated story with limited yet vivid characters, and his expert and effervescent use of colors - one might think as time moves forward that Frontini's work might become excessively elaborate, the canvas space occupied with the intricate details of labrythine fable.
But Thomas exercises a refined and matured sense of temperance.
With "Once Again Calm", Frontini offers the viewer with a softened, austere and fully modern vision. Here, in place of emotive figures and a fabulous animals, we see a distant wind turbine, a small factory outbuilding, a gestural bit of architecture set amid a serene and spartan landscape; accompanied often with only a single tree or lone blossom. Though sparse, the landscapes are far from cold or harsh, they do however hint at a world emptied by some catastrophe. The ephemeral oil colors, like the warm nacre of a seashell or the late blush of a beach sunrise, steep the panorama in an elegant, dreamlike quality. The viewer is given a quiet place to reflect on the somber features of this secluded dreamscape.
Thomas, on the works:
" I create paintings by combining Surrealist tendencies and vibrant atmospheres.
My art tends to reference a future where trees and animals are few and far between as they cling to floating or land-bound rock islands set against distant horizons. Despite their plight, the nature referenced show an unshakable strength built upon a glimmer of hope that finding a safe and more forgiving resting place is always and forever a possibility. I tend to draw a lot of my material from current issues that we face as a species, and capture the post-apocalyptic future that is the consequence of our decisions today. "

The shamans world is as much about our connection with nature as working with our tools and practices. 'Nature is the visible face of spirit.' Spending time in nature for contemplation, focusing our intention on our walk, our deep listening and the observing of nature, we look for signs to assist us in our future work as we fulfill our potential. We can often discover medicine songs, poetry, stories and the requests from spirit and the creative force that lies within each one of us. The hunt will take us through the night-time and into the days ahead. Visioning in our life and purpose!
A combination of dance and creativity, vision quest, during day and night, seeking for the visions that will enhance our soul purpose and empower our lives. Much of our time will be spent alone and in silence, in nature during the day and the night.
A journey into the quiet, to meet with our guides and the visible face of spirit.
Intensive workshop of five days.

On Saturday, May 13th, the Embassy of Hungary hosted an Open in conjunction with the 27 other member state embassies and the EU Delegation to the United States in Washington, D.C. Guest were offered guided tours of the new building of the Embassy of Hungary and had the opportunity to sample wines sources exclusively from Hungary as part of the Embassy's guided VIP wine tasting.
The 11th Annual EU Open House Series in Washington, D.C. on Saturday, May 13th brought thousands of guests to the new building of the Embassy of Hungary, all in search seeking to experience and taste a little bit of Hungarian culture.
Every guest to the Embassy's Open House was offered a guided tour of the new building of the Embassy of Hungary. Built in 1879, the Broadhead-Bell-Morton Mansion was once the residence of Alexander Graham Bell, inventor of the telephone, and Vice President of the United States Levi Parsons Morton (1889-1895).
Guests who took the tour also had the chance to view and learn more about fine Herend Porcelain courtesy of our exclusive vendor, Timothy Albrecht, owner of Bethesda boutique 'Consider It Done.' First designed and produced in the mid-19th century, Herend Porcelain was the chief purveyor of fine china to the Hapsburg Dynasty and aristocrats across Central Europe.
The Embassy's tourism desk provided a great opportunity for everyone interested in traveling to Hungary to learn first hand from Embassy staff who shared some of Hungary's best tourism tips. Outside, traditional Hungarian folk dancers as well as classical musicians performed for guests throughout the afternoon. Those brave enough also had the opportunity to jump in with the dancers and learn a few steps.
Hungarian Goulash and Debrecziner sausage, prepared personally by the Embassy chef, were both available at the Embassy's food stand along with Pogásca and Fröccs (a wine spritzer).
On hand at the Open House were three separate breeds of Hungarian dogs – the Vizsla, the Puli, and the Kuvasz. In recent years, it has become a tradition to extend an open invite to all Hungarian dog breed owners to stop by the Embassy for an afternoon of play. Dozens of dogs stopped by throughout the day to play with each other and the guests.
Last but not least, the Embassy of Hungary's Open House Program was designed with children of all ages in mind. Our younger guests were encouraged to play in the Kid's Corner where they participated in a number of events including a balloon party, face painting, and drawing. Children were also invited to jump into the cockpit of our Hungarian flight simulator and take control of an F-16 fighter.
A photo gallery of the event is available HERE.

What you are going to do with your body ageing, your face getting saggy and your hair full down? In my case I can't stop myself to eat! I can choose what I eat but I can't stay in a diet with too little calories. I will go and run or dance because I am stressed and need to balance myself . I know I can't freeze my body, because as a vintage car, if I don't use it will stop to function.
I walk my dog in the park, I try to walk everywhere (this is a lie, but I like to say) and carry my shopping up the stairs.. and then every day I am doing at the list a couple of hours of exercises: dance conditioning and choreography.
Dancing is increasingly used as a anti-ageing therapy, because it combines many diverse features making it a promising combination of brain-muscles workout. I have been investigated the effects of a 6-month dance class (2 h/week) on a group of middle ageing women: brain is less blurred and muscle tone much better . In few months they covering cognition, intelligence, attention, reaction time, motor, tactile, and postural performance, as well as subjective well-being and better mood! In the dance group, beneficial effects were arrive for dance-related exercises such as posture and reaction times, but also for cognitive, tactile, motor performance, and subjective well-being.
Ageing well is a form of art. The body transformation is unpredictable but manageable. Everyday I discover something different about my body and my muscles. The elegance and the authority of a well aged old body is always very remarkable and it comes first of all from coordination and feel well in our own clothes.
My suggestion to get your youth state going:
- attend dance classes for 6 months
- watch what you eat and put inside your body
- keep a journal to measure your progress
- try to set memory exercises to see if they will improve
- be brave when you dress
- have tones of friends
You will definitely see the benefits….

Indian film Dor steals show at World Performing Arts Festival in LahoreNovember 24th, 2007 - 1:52 pm ICT by admin
Lahore, Nov 24 (ANI): Bollywood film Dor stole the show during the second day of the World Performing Arts Film Festival.
According to The News, Dor was enjoyed by almost one and all on the second day of the festival that kicked off on November 22 and will last till December 2.
Dor, directed by Anwar Iqbal, focuses on the lives of two female protagonists one an independent-minded Muslim (Zeenat), the other a Hindu imprisoned by traditional dictates and how fate has chosen to interweave their lives.
Zeenats husband faces execution on charges of having murdered Meeras husband. The unfolding story documents Zeenats journey to find Meera to secure the pardon of her husband.
Yet this is no tale of revenge and retribution. Instead, it is one of emerging friendship and trust. Against this backdrop, a discourse on traditional female roles within a patriarchal society simmers beneath the surface, with the two women offering contrasting visions of the female ideal.
The climax occurs when Zeenats true identity is revealed. Yet, any talk of exacting revenge remains fleetingly rhetorical.
Instead, the films ending offers hope of a new beginning, both in terms of breaking down social barriers and cementing an enduring friendship. Meera takes a step of honesty and finds the courage to grab Zeenats hand which is extended through the promise of liberation from traditional female roles aimed at control.
As the two women begin their new journey of hope together the audience cannot help, but root for their success, the daily reported. (ANI)

It's a new year and the environment is in as much trouble as ever, though it looks like people are caring about it less and less. If this poll by the National Association of Realtors is to be believed, then less than 2% of people are even taking the environment into consideration when it comes to voting.
It's hard not to just throw your hands up and say, hey, drive that Hummer all you want, we're all doomed anyway.
Maybe I've been despairing because I spent most of December sitting on LA's 10 freeway. You get up close and personal with the hopelessness of it all when it takes 1.5 hours to drive 20 miles.
My driving spirit was lifted by this article in Mother Jones about the death defying feats of a hypermiler who gets 59 MPG in his Honda Accord! Which is impressive, but I'm not going to lie, I don't really wanna share the streets with this guy flying around corners at 50. I have been trying some of his less suicidal techniques in my little Civic though.
My eyes could not stop rolling while reading Joel Johnson's obnoxious piece called You Are Not Alone. America Hates Electric Cars. I will not give him the satisfaction of a link. Instead I'll summarize his thesis for you here: "Blah blah blah electric cars are stupid blah blah". By which I means he uses nothing but personal opinion to back up his personal opinion. Here's some more opinion for you, Joel. America wants electric cars, just not the crappy ones the car manufacturers are foisting on us. (Actually, I could go for a Leaf or one of the new Teslas, but then, I'm not American.)
It was lovely to read Maggie Koerth-Baker's well researched response to Joel's rant on Boing Boing. I highly recommend reading it if you want to know more about the pros and cons of going auto-electric.
It's sad times when Canada is getting dirty looks from the US for its nature-killing practices, but that's exactly what's happening with the tar sands, the most disgusting producer of crude oil in the world. Grist reports that Stephen Harper (yes, everything wrong with Canada is his fault) and his cronies are scraping the bottom of the barrel for buyers, crossing their fingers that China (purveyors of arsenic apple juice and lead-filled lollipops) will be tempted. I'm willing to bet that even China will draw the line at wasteful, expensive, and filthy crude.
There is an excellent reason Harper is so desperate to monetize the tar sands though. It's because Canada's trade in another dark, viscous money-maker is about to dry up. That's right, we've reached peak syrup and the maple train is running all downhill from here.
Finally, a single tuna sells for $736,000. Barf.
And finally finally, zombie bees! Sounds kind of cool until you're attacked by a big ol' swarm of them and turned into a zombee yourself. Where's Rick Grimes when you need him?
