This homestay is home to Jose, his charming wife Sindhu, and their three children. Set several thousand feet above the main Coonoor Township, Eden Garden is so named by the family as the property and its surrounds are nothing short of paradise on earth.
Jose is a planter and a landscape artist by profession. Sindhu is a home maker.
A most pleasant 20 minute drive from Coonoor proper will take you through three small villages, amazing natural surrounds and a climb to the breathtakingly beautiful heights of the homestay.
Truly an antique lover's delight; architect designed Eden Garden nestles within a half acre of fertile land. Its bright white fade, red slated tiled roof and solid wooden doors and windows reflect a combination of Tudor style English as well as Kerala architecture.
Every single piece of furniture is an antique, sourced by Jose and Sindhu from various parts of South India. The solid front doors have been brought in from Jose's family home in Kerala. All windows are made from Burma teak, once again all of them identical. Two identical fireplaces at either end of the living area have been artistically paneled with antique tiles from Chettinad. This beautiful tile work can be seen right through the home. Over 90% of the home is furnished with antique rose wood pieces. The wooden floors and ceiling give this home an imperial finish. Welcome to a home where the grandfather clock actually works.
This spacious but compact and well designed cottage is surrounded by a verandah, so that the family and their guests can enjoy the outdoors even when it rains! A lush lawn around the property leads into a rich cluster of tea bushes. Further on, you will see the rise of magnificent Silver Oak all around. Jose says that Eden Garden was built without the need to cut down a single tree. The tea shrubs existed even before the construction of the property, about four years ago. The house has also been constructed factoring in the 'vastu' style of architecture, with its entrance east facing, to greet the rising sun.
At such an amazing height, affording 360 degree lookout the views are simply spectacular. All around, the home is surrounded by lush foliage, a variety of flora, fauna and trees which blend seamlessly with the majestic heights and spread of the ranges of the Western Ghats. The east face offers views of the picture perfect views of the villages of Bandishola, Yedapalli and Bettiti, which one crosses from Coonoor to get to Eden Garden. The townships of Kotagiri and Mettupalayam can also be seen from here.
This serene and beauteous spot hosts homes which are few and far between. Eden Garden is what it means to be 'far from the maddening crowd'. No traffic, no pollution, just the occasional village folk passing by. Your neighbours here are magnificent creatures like bison, boars, monkeys and rabbits as well as several species of birds, quails, mynas, bulbuls, sparrows and crows, to name a few in this eucal

Situated on top of a tea garden is this beautiful place. View of the mountains and the valley below from the house will take your breath away. The hospitality of the family really adds value.

Home far away from Home – dream holiday After a year long wait we finally got a break and wanted to go for a place Secluded from the city life, On top of the mountain, Where one can touch the clouds, See the mountains and the valleys far away fading in the mist, Enjoy the sound of nature, See the sun rise and set behind the mountains, Feeling of doing nothing but relaxing, Having awesome food AND where our little princess feels at home…..well in short I would say we were destined to go to Eden Garden..!! This was our first experience with home stay and we were little worried about how our little princess will adjust at the new place. We must say we enjoyed every bit of our stay as part of Jose family and never felt out of home. All of us truly loved the hospitality and AT HOME feeling. This was truly a memorable holiday for us, we will be back soon.

Hillsborough survivors have spoken of how they were "scared and intimidated" by officers from the force tasked to independently investigate the football disaster.
The new investigation into the tragedy, which killed 96 Liverpool fans in 1989, has already uncovered a mass of statements given by police officers on the day that were doctored by South Yorkshire Police.
A subsequent inquiry carried out by West Midlands Police into the handling of Hillsborough by their counterparts in South Yorkshire has also become the focus for possible criminal conduct after the Independent Police Complaints Commission found ''differences'' in witness statements taken from fans.
The BBC's Newsnight has spoken to survivors who have also spoken of being mistreated by officers from West Midlands Police and questioned how officers took their statements.
One of them, Nick Braley, said that when he told West Midlands officers that he thought South Yorkshire police failings had caused the disaster, he was told he could face prosecution.
He told the programme he was "scared and intimidated" by a West Midlands officer and was accused of having a "grudge" against police.
Around 12,000 people spoke to West Midlands Police as part of its inquiry.
Analysis shows statements taken by West Midlands Police officers from supporters are not the same as the details given by the same individuals in questionnaires they had completed earlier.
Its investigation formed the basis of Lord Taylor's judicial inquiry into the disaster, the subsequent decision not to prosecute individuals, and the flawed inquests whose verdicts were quashed in 2012.
The IPCC said last year it wants to hear from anyone who gave evidence to West Midlands Police either in writing, via telephone or in face-to-face interviews.
Last September a damning report by the Hillsborough Independent Panel found that South Yorkshire Police orchestrated a cover-up of events, falsified documents and blamed innocent supporters for the tragedy.
It also raised ''serious questions'' over the work done by the West Midlands police force.
The report led to a public apology by Prime Minister David Cameron, the quashing of the original inquest verdicts, the resignation of a chief constable and the launch of two further investigations into the disaster, with criminal prosecutions of individuals and corporate bodies not ruled out.
Last month IPCC investigators said they were close to ''identifying and interviewing people as suspects''.
Britain's worst sporting disaster happened at Sheffield's Hillsborough stadium on April 15 1989 during Liverpool's FA Cup semi-final against Nottingham Forest as thousands of fans were crushed on the ground's Leppings Lane terrace.
Professor Phil Scraton, who played a major role in the independent panel report, told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "The statement-taking processes adopted by the investigating force, the West Midlands Police, dramatically shows that now the entire evidential base on which the Taylor inquiry, the criminal investigations and the inquest were based is flawed. This is a crucial issue."

Craig man to serve 20 years for meth possession
October 31, 2013
Craig — Conny Mullis, 45, was sentenced Wednesday in Moffat County District Court to 20 years in prison for methamphetamine possession with intent to distribute.
Mullis pleaded guilty to the charge, a Class 3 felony, according to a news release from the 14th Judicial District Attorney's Office.
Mullis was arrested in Craig in June when the All Crimes Enforcement Team, Craig Police Department and Moffat County Sheriff's Office executed search warrants in two residences and recovered more than 200 grams of methamphetamine that was worth an estimated $5,000.
Marvin Cameron, the ACET task force commander, said he was happy with the sentence.
"We're pleased with the outcome," he said. "When the process starts, we sit down with the district attorneys and look at the facts of the case and their criminal histories. We come up with a reasonable plea offer together."
Maria Saenz, who was arrested at one of the residences along with Mullis in June, pleaded guilty to two counts of distribution of methamphetamine earlier this month. She will serve four to six years in prison, according to the release.

The sentencing hearing for Saenz is Dec. 10.
As part of a lengthy investigation, ACET made and recorded controlled drug buys from Mullis and Saenz, which led to the search warrants.
"Methamphetamine has taken a devastating toll on this community, and we are proud of our law enforcement team's efforts to stem the tide of distribution in Moffat County," 14th Judicial District Attorney Brett Barkey said in the release. "The plea agreements announced today represent a significant success in those efforts."
Cameron echoed that but said there still is more to do in the fight against drugs.
"We think what we did in June, it was significant to the drugs in Craig," he said. "We're also not naive. We know there's more work to be done."

website. For some reason that defies all logical explanation, ANN continues to count that promo video as part of a "6-episode ONA" (where'd they get the 6 from?), and calls the TV series an "alternate retelling". It's just not true, but good luck convincing the ANN editors of that...

I've already read the last posts, and even though it looks like it might have an unhappy ending, I was wondering if anyone knows or has figured out if the School Days TV series is actually a horror genre as well? Please tell me because I really don't want to see any of the people go mad in the show

Absolutely not.
School Days is your usual "school romance" show, with the particularity that it is far from lovey dovey, and a bit more "realist" (though i'm still suspicious about makoto's existence as "realist")
there is nothing paranormal/surnatural, nor anything scary at all. the aftermath might be creepy, but it is much like "flat" reality, than any scary fantasy at all.
If you have watched Kimi ga Nozomu Eien, you can say the mood and context are similar.

I have a question or two.
Why do anime makers insist on making an anime, School Days e.x, that has the focus of relationship/drama and produce such characters that are so unbelievable, untrue, and fictional, that they make anybody with an IQ above 80 want to not watch? The three main characters in School Days are according to me mentally challenged. Why must makers feed this stupid, immature, fictional crap down our throats all the time? Can we not have ONE relationship anime where the people act like they are not mentally handicapped? I know there are one or two, but just not enough. Anyways those were my questions.

I think it's pretty clear - idiots make good drama. Smart people know how to solve these situations better.
Also, you have to understand that the harem genre is a fanservice one. The target audience it's aimed at enjoys girls throwing themselves at the main character even if he's worthless.
There's a few exceptions in the harem genre, but in general this stuff happens a lot. More often than not, they don't do justice to the corresponding visual novels...can't speak for School Days because I haven't played it though, but it seems that people are happy enough with the conversion as Makoto was widely hated well before the anime either way.

and i thought it was extreme when critting on their intelligence but boy you broke even that no i do not believe that they are unrealistic because crap like this can happen...maybe worse in fact but its just that most of the time no body cares about crap that can be avoided by onlookers (no i do not want to hear about how screwed my friend's relationships are etc )
as for the romance thing...guess not ~ its either some main character screws up or GTFO! being serious that is mainly the point as hardly anyone would want to watch a straight forward relationship planned to perfection (boring yawns ZZzzZZ) ~
relationship angst is the best way to fill those with needs (or are just sad like me )

I think they're fairly unrealistic, at least. Usually when girls throw themselves at a jerk, the jerk is at least a sweet talker. Or they are airheads but then they're not in for the serious stuff - in which case they wouldn't go for a clueless guy anyway.
Makoto's quite a loser, and Kotonoha and Sekai don't really fit that profile.
I don't think the fact that Makoto's 16-17 is a good enough excuse - some more maturity is expected when you're that age. Moreover, I don't know absolutely anyone like him who has had any success with girls, ever. Especially good looking ones.
Hell...I don't know anyone who acted as badly as Makoto overall.

FORMER Archbishop of Canterbury Dr Rowan Williams delivered a lecture at Oxford University on Wednesday night.
The Church of England leader of 10 years spoke about the relationships between different faiths.
Dr Williams said he was glad to be back in Oxford.
The 63-year-old said: "It's been a very stimulating few events. I am very glad to be back here and in such hugely intelligent and challenging company.
"Oxford is still as wet as I remember from years ago, but it is always good to catch up with friends.
"The city's faith community is interesting at the moment, because there has been a huge development of the Islamic presence at the university and in the city.
"There is some really high-quality thinking going on there and I think that reflects on our society in a very good way."
Dr Williams said that since stepping down as Archbishop, he now spent a lot of his time carrying out his duties as Master of Magdalene College at Cambridge University.
But he said that he hoped to make a trip to the Congo in the summer with Christian Aid, of which he is a patron.
Sarah Bebb, of talk organisers Humanitas, said: "The lecture went down really well.
"Rowan is good at interacting with audiences, so he was really in his element."
The next Humanitas talk, at 5pm on February 10 at Pembroke College, features former CIA director General Michael Hayden.

Application Guide GMC models
Need products or information on how tow tow you GM vehicle? With these products RV'ers can tow their vehicles behind your motor homes with
all four wheels on the ground÷worry free. Selecting GMC vehicle model from the links on the right will provide detailed information and pricing data on the tow product you need. These items will assist you
in easy hook up of the towed vehicle to your motor home. Our driveline disconnect
and axle lock to different mechanical disconnects will disengage the automatic
transmission while under tow. For front wheel vehicles we provide the lub
pump, this unit circulates the transmission fluid through the radiator cooling
system to prevent damage to your automatic transmission.
Drive line Disconnects Prevents transmission damage from occurring by disconnecting
the rear differential from the transmission
With our Drive Shaft Coupling you now have a simple and convenient way
to tow your rear-wheel drive automatic transmission vehicles. For Chevrolet we
offer towing products for 40 different models including 1500, 2500 3500
pickup trucks, Avalanche, SSR, Yukon, Safari and Jimmy's. No more having
to have your car mechanically serviced to disconnect your drive shaft
from the rear axle. There's no worry about damaging your transmission.
To drive your vehicle, a simple push in on the control knob and you are
ready to tow.
For some applications and limited front wheel drive applications
drive shaft couplings are not available. A limited selection of front axle disconnects
are available and in most cases Lub-pump's are available. Our recommendation is first
the drive shaft disconnect, as it is all mechanical, second choice is the axle lock
but applications are limited. Third choice is the Lub-pump as it involves both mechanical and
electrical systems and components.
Lub Pump Prevents transmission damage from occurring on your front-wheel
drive vehicle
When your vehicle with an automatic transmission is driven, the transmission is lubricated
by an engine-driven transmission fluid pump. When the vehicle is towed, this engine-driven
pump does not operate. Another means of lubrication is needed.
Our Lube Pump was developed to provide a reliable lubrication system for the transmission
while it is being towed. To tow your vehicle, connect the cable and turn on the switch
on the monitor in the motor home and you are ready to tow.
The Lube Pump is conveniently located under the engine hood,
draws transmission fluid from the pan then pumps to the selector valve. This valve
directs the fluid through the radiator cooler then into the lubrication system. The
Lube Pump is powered from the motorhome's battery and fed into a small electronic
monitor. The electronic monitor mounted near the motorhome driver, has a green light
and a red light with an audible alarm.
One year/10,000 miles limited warranty (warranty not
applicable on transmissions with over 40,000 miles).
See the installation Instructions
before you purchase
Other products we offer to support your towing needs are:
Driveline disconnect kit includes new drive line with disconnect
built in and high speed balanced. Shift bracket that you mount to your
differential housing and a cable that gets run up under the front seat.
Installation time varies by vehicle ranging from 3 to 4 hours typically.
Lube Pump Kit includes coiled electrical cable between the motorhome
and car provides all the circuits for the pump, monitor and vehicle
tail lights. For added convenience, beside the pump, hoses and fittings
the kit included a tail light diverter. Packet diverters automatically
switch the car's tail light system to towing each time you hook up.
This is an abbreviated list and other parts are available.

Johnstown, PA and the great flood of 1889
Posted 02 January 2003 - 10:59 AM
I am not familiar with the area of that road. I live about 15 minutes north of Pittsburgh and have been to the Ellwood City area, but not to really explore it. You said your about 30 minutes north of Pittsburgh, are you in the Cranberry area?
Have you checked out any sites in Pittsburgh?
I think we are definitely going to have to organize something for the spring. Johnstown would be great because it is centrally located for a lot of people here.
Let me see what else I can dig up from Johnstown. there is a lot of stuff there worth checking out. Wish I had been in to this when I was in college and already there, but at least I know my way around there.

Johnstown, PA is a little industrial town in Cambria County. I lived in this community for 4 years while I was in college. Johnstown is known for it's steel production, the fact that the movie "Slapshot" was filmed there, and it's great floods.
The worst flood occured May 31st, 1889. Some of the remanents of the flood are still in Johnstown. There is a church in downtown, right on the square, that withstood the force of the wave and has a plaque on the wall marking the location of the water line. I kid you not when I say that this if about 30 feet up the building..
I have visited the site where the dam was, seen what is left of the dam, and even watched the movie that was put together at the museum. But nothing has creeped me out as much as the bridge. Even before I knew the history of the bridge, it disturbed me, every time I drove by it, it sent chills down my spine. I thought that it was just because it was an old bridge. Here is a picture of the present day bridge.....
It was this bridge that created a temporary dam that held the massive wall of water. There was so much debris in the water from the 1600 homes that were destroyed along with the 280 businesses that were lost, it all became trapped in this bridge. Many people who could have survived the watery ride, were trapped at this bridge. The pool turned into a massive whirlpool and the debris caught fire, making a bad situation even worse.
This bridge still stands today and is a very eerie place to visit. If you ever get a chance, visit Johnstown, a very haunted place indeed. 2209 people died in the flood of 1889 and there is a lot of history about it.
Some other places to check out in Johnstown......
The cemetary where the 777 unidentified victims were buried....Grandview Cemetary.....here is an old picture of the cemetary
I have visited this place and it has a very depressing atmosphere.
You can read a thorough history on the flood, just do a search on the internet and tons of stuff will pop up.
I grew up in J-town. I walked past the stone bridge and the Rolling Mills Mine opening for years. I never once had any premonitions or felt at all uncomfortable, nor did I see anything unsual.
There are reports of some folks seeing miners along the hiking trail below the Inclined Plane, but I never hiked that area so can't comment on whether it is true or not.
As a teen I did live in an old house in Cambria City and did have a ghostly encounter there. I later found out that a friend of mine and my sister too saw a little girl out of the corner of their eye but assumed it was my younger sister. it wasn't. In addition, my grandma and I saw some spectral nuns coming out from beside St. Mary's Church in Cambria City as we were approaching the "singing bridge" into Minersville. That was way back in the middle to late 60s.

Hello all I am new to this site i am mostly in to it for the hunt and found you all talking about my home town there is alot to the flood as well as the 1936 flood and the 1977 flood and there are alot of other places to see if your into ghost hunting let me know and ill dig up a list for you
I would love to check out Johnstown and learn more about the flood.
Posted 09 June 2008 - 03:26 PM
anyway, I am moving to Johnstown in september. Are there any other places there you found interesting? Just wondering. I love this sort of stuff.

My mother grew up in Johnstown and our family would return frequently to visit my maternal grandmother (the last visit was a few years ago to retrieve her property following her passing). It's interesting to note that we had to drive under the infamous stone bridge to get to the funeral home, which kept a logbook in the lobby from the days following the flood in which they documented the bodies that were recovered/identified. The fact that the bridge that stands there today is actually a replacement does little to lessen the feeling of mournful awe.
While I was working on a book about the flood (since relegated to the backburner I'm afraid to say) my grandmother brought up an intersting bit of info she encountered back when she served as her church's historian. While thumbing through the older records she found an entry made after the flood which stated that the pastor, upon returning to the ruins of the church, climbed back up on his horse and rode out of town, never to be heard from again.

I would like to go to some of these places , but i dont want to waste my time if anybody is interested in group ghost hunting adventures post back and maybe we can create a small ghost hunting mob... let me know if any locals are interested i had a paranormal exp when i was about 15 and it has been bothering me ever since, I am now 25 and I would like to know whats out there... so what are some good "hot spots" for ghosts in Johnstown PA ???
Posted 25 March 2009 - 01:58 PM
I have lived in Johnstown all my life as well. When I saw this post it took me a little while to figure out how to read all the reply's. LOL But I got it.
Anyways, Ive had, what I would say, an above average amount of paranormal experiences in my life starting when I was very young. Ive seen apparitions and a Shadow Ghost. Ive lived in a few houses that were ABSOLUTLEY haunted. Confimed by me and several roomates. Id love to meet up with some others and visit/re-visit some of these places.
However, about the "Old Stone Bridge" Ive never had an uncomfortable feeling about it. Ever. I drive under it daily. So ????? Who Knows. I wouldnt call it a "Hot Spot" but would definatley like to do some further investigations.
Im new to Ghost hunting. They usually find me. But if anyone is interested, Im game to get some of these places Confimed. Johnstown has ALOT of Ghosts, Im positive of that. Im SURE there is plenty of paranormal activity to be experienced here and look forward to any Replys.

LONGMONT -- Pot shops were shot down Tuesday by the Longmont City Council, which voted 4-2 to ban recreational marijuana businesses.
"As it stands, you can grow, smoke and possess marijuana, medical or recreational, in the city of Longmont," Councilman Brian Bagley said in voting for the ban. "To me, the issue is, do we want to see stores in Longmont providing this?"
Councilwoman Bonnie Finley was absent. Mayor Dennis Coombs and Councilman Alex Sammoury opposed the measure.
"If 58 percent of our people want marijuana to be regulated like alcohol, it's not my job to go against the will of the people," Coombs said.
Last November, about 58 percent of Longmont voters supported Amendment 64, a fact that opponents of the ban were quick to remind the council of. The amendment legalizes marijuana in Colorado -- though it remains illegal under federal law -- and allows retailers to sell the drug under regulation, similar to alcohol.
"Bans are, in my experience, lazy policymaking," said Teri Robnett of Denver, founder of the Cannabis Patient Action Network. She argued that although many were afraid of a federal crackdown, no dispensary had yet been shut down by the feds. Some have moved, after being warned that they were too close to schools.
She was one of six people at the meeting to ask for the council to postpone its vote until the Colorado Department of Revenue adopts its emergency rules, currently set for July 1.
"It would be more prudent for the city to wait until it has all the information," said Shawn Hauser of Sensible Colorado. "A ban now is jumping the gun a little bit. The city doesn't have to act right now."
Councilwoman Sarah Levison pointed out that Amendment 64 also allowed communities to opt out of retail marijuana entirely. She also said bans weren't necessarily lazy, noting the amount of work related to Longmont's ban on hydraulic fracturing or "fracking" adopted by voters last November.
Right now, she said, there was still too much uncertainty about what would happen at the state level.
"I could be in favor of not having a ban, or of overturning a ban, at a point where we had some surety in the regulatory environment," she said.
Bagley said there wasn't a lack of availability, especially since a medical dispensary was located just outside the city limits.
"First and foremost I don't want to say to my kids that smoking marijuana is OK," he said. "I'm not saying I know any more than anyone who stood at the podium. But I do have a responsibility to vote my conscience."
The council also voted 6-0 to ban marijuana clubs.

YOUR 15 MINUTES: Tattoo (fuck) You
This guy deserves his 15 minutes because he's going to have this tattoo for the rest of his life. Fortunately, he's in jail for robbery and assault. Unfortunately, he's 20 years old. This means that unless he OD's or some shit he could be gracing our society (and prisons) for the next 40+ years. I wonder whom this Kenna person is he speaks of on his neck. I wonder if the real message is "fuck you Kenna" but he just ran out of room on his face.
P.S. You know...I'm often referred to in my inner-circle as a connoisseur o' brow since I have an extremely heightened level of eyebrow-consciousness. I can tell you that as the connoisseur o' brow I've seen many'a tattooed eyebrow but never such blatant abuse of the brow—it takes a very no-so-vain person to replace their eyebrows with a big ole "fuck you." Although now that I see it, this is sorta what I was referring to the other day when I suggested just tattooing "trailer trash" on Sean Preston Federline's forehead to spare him the pain of having people find out on their own.

Ultimately it is about developing our understanding of what is happening with wind-flow conditions across the site as well as the long-term climatology. This information can then guide decisions throughout all stages of a project's lifecycle - development, construction and operation.
Many people see the development stage as the only place where measuring wind is important, but really it is just the first stage of the measurement campaign.
The basic wind resource components we are trying to understand during this stage are: orientation, wind speed, shear and turbulence. Much like the planning process, the measurement campaign design should respect project cash flow, applying appropriate tools at the right time to reduce uncertainty in the intended upcoming energy assessment.
Desktop studies
In the early stages of a project, with no nearby physical measurement assets available, the first step in designing a wind resource campaign is to conduct a desktop study estimating the resource. This kind of assessment usually considers the predominant wind direction and mean annual wind speed across the project area. Whether they use publicly available resources, such as the UK's free wind-speed database, or newer commercial products, these products and services should only be used as guides for deciding whether the project is worth pursuing by passing the basic financial and project risk tests with substantial margin.
The next step is to understand what the initial layout looks like. Some basic geographic information system (GIS) mapping with the identified land, appropriate constraints - such as houses, forests, water courses and roads - and relevant buffers will leave the 'available land' area. This can sometimes show that the project is smaller than expected, so when done well this mapping can guide land acquisition and help correctly size the project early on.
Next, a site visit is advisable to confirm the mapping matches what is on the ground. Visiting is important because it will help give a feel for the extent and characteristics of any forests and forestry activities, ensure that the building and water course mapping is reasonably correct and that the terrain mapping is in line with expectations.
The initial site visit is also useful for deciding how physical meteorological assets can be installed and potentially help refine the initial layout.
Once a good initial layout has been developed, the campaign is designed and the main aim is for representativeness. This is key because, as good as wind-energy modelling programmes are, the measurement campaign can dramatically influence any assessment. If the meteorological (met) tower is located in a valley downwind in the prevailing direction from a hill or forest, it is unlikely to be representative of a project based on the hill top five kilometres (km) away. The measurements would very likely be low-biasing the wind speed data, which cannot be modelled out easily. Having a poorly placed met tower can have a negative effect on a project's financial and technical discussions. Likewise, measuring wind at the top of the hill if the majority of the project is down the hill can lead to unmet expectations once operational.
Basic rules for representativeness:
Spatial For a site of medium complexity, is the met location within 2km of all turbines? If not consider using a staged approach. If the site has significant complexity, such as a ridgeline, 1km distance is suggested.
Elevation For a site with rolling hills but not more than 15 turbines, is the location near the project's weighted mean elevation? This is crucial for achieving good energy modelling of complex sites. If the elevation spread is more than 20 or 30 metres between the met mast and a number of the turbines, I would recommend a multiple met asset strategy, potentially using remote sensing.
Exposure Is the met tower "seeing" what the turbines are going to be exposed to? If the project is in a forest and the met asset is in an open field or beside a barn, the data likewise will be incorrectly influenced to the detriment of the project expectations.
Getting the details right
With a met location sorted out on the desktop, another site visit is necessary to make sure the location is actually buildable. Some jurisdictions are less concerned with the discrete coordinates of the installed met tower but others are adamant on location, tower structure and sensor elevations, so it is best to measure twice and cost effectively install once - it will save time, money and potentially political capital if the permitted site is found impossible or prohibitively expensive to build on.
But why a met tower, why not remote-sensing technologies such as Sodar (sonic detection and ranging) or Lidar (light detection and ranging)? Current best practice would have these technologies supporting a met tower rather than replacing it. Each technology has distinct advantages and disadvantages and as such should be considered a supplement to the met tower and be implemented with the advice of experts.
When it comes to instruments on a met tower there are a few different strategies. The base tower configuration I prefer is to have three levels of anemometer pairs, a maximum of 25 metres apart, with a wind vane located two metres below both the top and bottom anemometers. Even when following International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) recommendations on keeping instruments certain distances from the tower to reduce tower influence are followed, the tower shadow is still evident, ultimately lowering the mean wind speed. With sensor pairs, this influence can be virtually eliminated, allowing for a more correct wind speed at all heights, giving a better wind shear estimate and a more accurate resource assessment. Having two sensors is also more cost-effective as it means one is still available if the other stops working, making physical site works not immediately necessary.
So when does all this data become useable, actually breaking or proving early stage assumptions? In my experience, at least six months of very good correlation to a longer-term, well-maintained and known data set is needed. This is really important, particularly if early-stage data is dramatically changing the project orientation or wind-speed assumptions and therefore potential turbine types and project capacity. If the measurement campaign shows dramatic climate swings, patience is required and careful analysis of how this information affects the layout and continuing campaign. As the data set matures with well over 12 months of good results, the project naturally firms up, building confidence in the data set and increasing financeability.
Valued paper trail
The real lynch pin in the campaign design process, particularly during the development phase, is documentation. When going to financing, a transparent and trackable paper trail is required that includes:
- Where the met tower was
- When it was commissioned
- What instruments were on it and where
- Whether it was maintained regularly and properly
- What state it was in when it was decommissioned
It will be too late to document these aspects after the fact, so I highly recommend working with good contractors and partners who appreciate the long-term requirements to excel during the financing phase.
Construction and operational stages
The construction stage of a measurement campaign is mainly about good project management and rigour to standards. This phase normally happens in the short period between the project receiving a permit and the foundations being constructed. The crucial aspect to remember is that the power-curve measurement strategy is used to prove that the project's turbines are meeting the manufacturers warranted power curves.
The IEC has a power-curve testing procedure and recommended equipment checklist that can be used to test the ambient condition before the turbines are installed. This process is a once-in-a-project opportunity to understand the initial meteorological conditions happening at a test turbine and fits in a small window of time. Doing this potentially saves substantial ambiguity and lengthy litigation.
The operational phase is where all the effort pays off, where production and project performance is constantly audited against its expected values, including mean annual production, known as P50, and that turbines are performing against warranted levels. Recently there has been a lot of effort to understand why many projects are not achieving their P50 energy, and although the lack of a good measurement campaign is not solely to blame, a more robust strategy during the development and construction stages of the measurement campaigns could have helped prevent disappointing results.

Today I return to a series I started back in October. (You can Find the first two parts of this series HERE and HERE!) As you may recall from back then, a friend of mine, who is writing a book about male sexuality for women, asked me if I could be her go-to-guy for a bunch of questions she had about pleasuring a man which she wants to include in her book. I think it is only fair that you, my loyal audience, should get this information before anyone else does.
Does the concept of blue balls really exist? (With all of the tantric activity that goes on, I assume it's more of a myth than anything else, but we would love to hear otherwise if I'm wrong!)
Yep, it's slang for an actual condition — congested prostate or vasocongestion caused by prolonged sexual arousal. A dude's balls and prostate will ache if an ejaculation/orgasm doesn't dissipate the trapped blood that fills the vessels in his cock and surrounding genital area during sexual arousal.
During sexual arousal, a guys balls can increase in size 25-50 percent. This is particularly true for younger men; wouldn't you just know it.
Are there any "secret spots" on the male body that we should know about, that aren't on the penis or in the butt?
You know those two things on a guy's chest? I think they're called nipples. Some men's nipples are hot wired to their dick. I know several men who are orgasmic through nipple play alone. Any man can learn to sensitize and find pleasure in their nipples or other parts of their body as well.
Are there any magical/mystical techniques that gay men have mastered that straight women should know about?
There sure are, but us gay men are sworn to secrecy about this. And I'm not about to break this sacred code of silence. However, every straight woman should have a good gay male friend that she can ask about things like this. Most gay men are not as discreet about this as I am. They will gladly tell you what they do to pleasure their men if you ask them. Get a gay friend, if you don't already have one, and have the talk. You will be amazed.
What exactly is the Frenulum? Is there any biological purpose to it? Why is it so sensitive? And what should a girl do with it?
Actually a frenulum is a small fold of skin tissue that prevents an organ in the body from moving to far from a particular location. There are frenula at several points of the body, including several in the mouth, some in the digestive tract, a couple in the vagina, and, my favorite, the one on a guy's cock.
This is an elastic band of tissue under the dickhead that connects to the foreskin, and helps cover the dickhead when not aroused. Sadly, the frenulum can be partially or even totally removed during circumcision.
Think of the frenulum as a guy's feeble excuse for a clit. It's loaded with nerve endings. If a chick wants to know what to do with a frenulum, all she has to do is ask herself what she likes having done to her clit.
Any tricks of the trade on what a gal should do with a man's testicles? Anything that will really drive him wild?
Loads of guys like having their balls stretched. Guys have been stretching their balls for just about as long as us men folk have had balls to stretch…and that's a mighty long time. The only thing that screams male virility and potency as much as a big dick is a pair of big low hangin' nuts. In fact in many societies throughout history a man's cajones were considered sacred. They were revered as objects of religious, social, cultural, and even magical power. In fact in ancient Rome, when a man would take an oath he would grab his balls, just like we put our hand on a bible today. In fact, some etymologists believe that's where we got the word, "testify," from the Latin: testis.
Men discovered early on that ball stretching was both erotic fun and relatively easy to do. Just to clarify…when I say ball stretching, what I really mean is sack (scrotum) stretching. One cannot really increase the size of his balls (testicles). Soon men in many societies were stretching their junk to call attention to their manliness. With the help of a stretching device of one sort or another, and there are several, men were able to lengthen their balls with very little effort.
A gal can help a guy do this. The simplest method, and you don't even need no stinkin' equipment for this, is called the manual method. All ya do is give your man's huevos a nice sustained tug. Alternate your tugging with some nice ball massage. Over time this will help to lengthen his ball sack because you're manually forcing it downward. The more you pull and the longer you pull, the more you will affect the hang of your guy's balls. It's also pretty sexually stimulating too.
This method is particularly effective after a hot bath or shower. His skin will be at its most pliable then. This method is safe and effective and even a rank amateur can pull it off, so to speak. This'll be fun and pleasurable all on its one. Your guy will love that you are paying his balls some attention while you're jerkin or suckin him off. And that will make him and his nuts much happier.
What are your thoughts on circumcision? We've read that it actually can cut off important nerve endings — is there any truth behind this?
I am completely opposed to infant circumcision. It is genital mutilation. And yes, it can and often does remove important nerve endings. (See question 4 above and read below.)
As to adult circumcision, I need to say one thing from the outset. It's a particularly thorny issue for me. I firmly believe in the right of an adult to augment, adorn and embellish, or in any other way customize his or her body. Just as long as that person has taken enough time to think it through. At the same time I am a furious proponent of genital integrity. So you see my conflict.
There are, of course, medical reasons for adult circumcision.
Take a really close look at a foreskin. I mean a really close look. What do you see? Veins, right? If you pinch a foreskin between your thumb and forefinger as hard as you can; what happens? OUCH! Ya know why that is? A foreskin is just chock-full of nerve endings, darlin'. A foreskin contains about 240 feet of nerve fibers and tens of thousands of specialized nerve endings, which can feel the slightest pressure, the lightest touch, the smallest motion, the subtlest changes in temperature, and the finest gradations in texture.
In many ways, a foreskin is just like one's eyelid. It covers, cleans, and protects a guy's dickhead just like one's eyelid covers, cleans, and protects one's eye. A foreskin keeps the surface of a guy's dickhead healthy, clean, shiny, warm, soft, moist, and sensitive. And there are a whole lot of us who think a foreskin is totally hot.
A foreskin is a specialized, sensitive, and functional organ of touch. No other part of the body serves the same purpose. Besides, if it's cut off, it'll remove 50% of the skin of the cock.
Finally, I'm of the mind that millions of years of evolution has provided men a covering for our dickhead for a purpose. And to remove it is simply unnatural.

It's been two years since the devastating Haiti earthquake killed 316,000 people, laying waste to a country already suffering from extreme poverty and environmental degradation. The crisis in Haiti continues today. Since the earthquake, Haitians have endured hurricanes, flooding, and a cholera outbreak. Adding to the chaos, a staggering 8 million people live without access to grid electricity, meaning families spend 12 hours every night in complete darkness.
With your help, Music for Relief responded to send aid to Haiti immediately following the disaster in 2010, and our response continued in 2011. All proceeds supported the extraordinary work of our partner organizations on the ground as they delivered food, clean water, medical care, education and tackled the challenges of long-term recovery.
Funds raised through Download to Donate also supported the installation of environmentally friendly LED solar streetlights to protect women and children from violence when walking in the camps at night.

Mayor Don Wesely today accepted the formal resignation of Jim Morgan as the city's Director of Parks and Recreation, a position he has held for eight years. Morgan announced his intention to resign last month after being offered a position as Parks Superintendent in Madison, Wisconsin. The Madison Common Council voted yesterday to confirm the appointment of Morgan, a Milwaukee, Wisconsin native.
"Lincoln is becoming one of the Midwest's great family communities, and Lincoln's 'quality of life' efforts will always play an important part in Lincoln's reputation as a great place to live, raise families and do business," Morgan wrote to Mayor Wesely in his letter of resignation. "I have always valued your personal commitment to our parks and natural areas and the many services we provide."
Newpaper advertisements for the position will be placed beginning May 7th. Applications will be due May 19th. The Personnel Department will review the applications and forward them to the Mayor. Mayor Wesely said he hopes to make a decision on a new Parks and Recreation Director by the end of May.

Views on wines from Italy, California, Chile, Argentina and other great regions of the world from a freelance writer and photographer

Value and Character - the Chilean Way
After a hot July and August, I've returned to trying wines again. A number of reasonably priced Chilean wines have come across my desk lately and I've been especially impressed with two - one white and one red.
The white is the 2010 William Cole Sauvignon Blanc "Columbine Special Reserve" from Casablanca Valley. This wine region has become one of the leading in Chile for production of cool climate varieties, especially Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. But other varieties, such as Syrah, Riesling and Sauvignon Blanc are also playing an important role here as well.
I've always liked William Cole's wines and have especially loved his price points, which are generally in the mid-teens. I can't say that I've always been wild about the wines, as some of them are pleasant, if a bit straightforward. But with this Sauvignon Blanc, Cole has really delivered a lot of character for not a lot of money. The wine has beautiful varietal aromas of freshly cut hay, so you immediately know it's a Sauvignon Blanc that plays it straight ahead; this is not a Sauvignon Blanc pretending to be a Chardonnay.
Medium-full and aged only in stainless steel, so as to highlight the grape's fruit character, the wine has tangy acidity and notes of fresh lime in the finish. I've enjoyed it with everything from pork fried rice to sautéed shrimp and think how perfect this would be with a fish preparation with lime sauce, such as ceviché! Best yet, the US retail price is $15 and believe me, there's an awful lot of character for the money. This is a cool climate Sauvignon Blanc that many producers in Chile make so well- the acidity keeps the wine fresh and overall the wine has a delicate feel on the palate, while still displaying nice texture. Well done, Mr. Cole!
The second wine is the 2010 Meli Carignan from Maule Valley. Maule is located further south in Chile and there are plenty of old vines here planted to Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Carmenere, although white varieties such as Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc are also an integral part of this landscape.
Meli produces a Carignan, a grape most commonly associated with Southern France. What's distinctive about this wine are not only the moderate tannins (especially compared to Cabernet Sauvignon), but also its currant and red plum flavors - this is not a big, super ripe jammy red that is too often produced around the world these days. Rather, this is a subdued red, medium full with a light peppery note in the finish and good acidity, meaning the wine has a freshness and edge that makes it a wonderful food wine. Pepper steak would be a perfect match, as would lighter game birds or even something as simple as a chicken or pork taco or empanada. The price on this wine is also $15.
Both wines are imported by Global Vineyard Wine Importers of Berkeley, CA

Never to the man! Just my Retreat in August.
How blessed I feel. Thank you to all the dedicated artists who believe in me, thank you for being willing to take another journey with me! I am thinking about opening a second one just because I have gotten responses from people who did not make it in like ".. I am heartbroken…" "… I feel cheated.." "… any other week but that THAT one."
So if your interested please let me know! I can't wait to soak up the beauty of NM, dancing day and night, laughing, enjoying wine and friends, seeing ladies expand and live through their dance!
Bring It On!

When I was a young child, my friends and I rode our bikes up to a busy intersection in our home town. There was a man there with an old school bus painted with signs advertising "firepaint"ReplyDelete
We approached the man and inquired "What is this firepaint of which you speak?" The man had a far away gaze in his eyes. He looked like a vagabond.
He had a mason jar with an amber liquid in it. He told us that he had a firepaint factory in Jerusalem and that we could buy a jar.
He said if you painted any object with firepaint, it would instantly become a fuse. Something you could light to ignite something bigger.
We did not buy any firepaint that day. But I have wondered my entire life whether that man was telling us the truth.
Now I wonder if I am seeing photographic evidence of the existence of firepaint.
We also made up a word game using the word firepaint but that is a story for another time.

Sorry I was at a V-pire convention. It was awesome I saw the one and only Vampire Fill!!! IT WAS LEGENDARY!ReplyDelete
By the way I was also working at some guys party. It lasted 6 WEEKS! He let me post but still, It was hard work. I mean the guys girlfriend refused to dance with him so they dramatically broke up with everyone. So then the guy goes to the beauty pageant and finds this hot girl. In the end they got married. :)
And another thing. The good part about this was a got a big chunk of change to buy socks for my oldest son Rappidzinnerthin. but it turns out the socks were to little for his feet. So he walks to the garbage and throws them out!!! So I got all mad at him and said "boy I went through a lot to get those socks!" So now they are my younger son (Ron) socks. So I guess you could say it was all ok.

AC Schnitzer, a German tuning company, disclosed its new styling and performance program for the BMW M6 Coupé, Convertible and Gran Coupé, which they claim will boost the V8 engine's power to an output of 620 hp and, 582.7674 lb-ft of torque, with a top speed of 189.5518 mph.
The AC Schnitzer suspension spring kit provides a sportier look thanks to the lowering of the M6 (front 15 mm, rear 25 mm).
In terms of aesthetics, AC Schnitzer includes components such as a carbon front spoiler, chromed front grill, carbon rear diffuser and rear spoiler (Coupé only). A rear skirt film, emblem film and type designations are also available.
The AC Schnitzer sports rear silencer with twin chromed "Sport Trim" tailpipes is available with and without flap control, in conjunction with the carbon rear diffuser.
The interior of all three M6 vehicles by AC Schnitzer feature the "Black Line" aluminum cover for BMW "i-Drive system controller" (anodized black/matt), aluminum pedal set for left- and right-hand drive (anodized/matt), aluminum footrests (anodized/matt) and floor mats in velour are all available.
All M6 models include wide, weight-optimized 20- or 21- inch wheels. Type VIII (one-piece/multipiece/forged), Type V (forged) and Type IV wheels are available in various designs to transfer the power to the road through corresponding tires.

George Bernard Shaw said: "No man ever believes that the Bible means what it says; he is always convinced that it says what he means." With this in mind let's look at some of the Bible's prophecies. There is not one prophecy in the Bible that can be confirmed to have been fulfilled. To make up for this, Bible preachers and teachers go to great lengths to show how many of the prophecies are meant for future fulfillment. And they will interpret the Bible to mean whatever they can dream up to say it means. A great many preachers claim that particular prophecies in the Bible can have multiple fulfillments. Take the example of Ezekiel's prophecy of the return of the Jews to Palestine (Ezekiel 37, beginning at verse 15 to chapter's end). Ezekiel lived, according to commentators around 593 BCE. So-called prophecy experts claim this prophecy was fulfilled in 1948 CE. What they neglect to tell people, however, is that the event prophesied could be said to have been fulfilled some 60 years later around 538 BCE, when King Cyrus of Medo-Persia issued a proclamation that the Jews could return to their land. Preachers and prophecy "experts" claim that it had a double fulfillment, the second in 1948 CE. But as I quoted Shaw: "No man ever believes that the Bible means what it says; he is always convinced that it says what he means." They took what happened in 1948 as a sign of the end times, not realizing, that, according to Quantum Mechanics and Quantum Theory near infinitely improbable events occur on occasion. Quantum Mechanics and Theory always successfully predicts what actually happens in the quantum world. So the seemed-to-be prophecy, because of anthropic coincidence, seemed to have been fulfilled twice. Furthermore,Ezekiel even admitted to getting one of his prophecies wrong. Ezekiel prophesied the total and complete razing of Tyre, til nothing was left but a bare rock, by the armies of Babylon under Nebuchadnezzar (Ezekiel 26:7-14). But later, in Ezekiel 29:17-20, Ezekiel admitted that Nebuchadnezzar could not accomplish what Ezekiel had prophesied. According to the Bible, if a so-called prophet makes just one false prediction, he is a false prophet, and is supposed to be executed. The book of Ezekiel, is a book of "prophecy", but it contains at least one false prophecy, and that throws the whole book in doubt, and therefore, it puts the Bible, in which Ezekiel is found, in doubt also.
Feel free to add your own thoughts.
Views: 236
Of course the Bible full of false prophecies. How can a prophecy not be false. These ancient people didn't have supernatural powers.
The concept of a prophet is absurd.
Theology is a load of crap.
Instead of obeying some priest or pastor, one can get the same results consulting a "psychic." Both are confidence men.
By the same token, Anthony, it has now been shown to some folks' satisfaction that the whole notion of a Second Coming in general, and the Rapture in particular, is stupid: John of Patmos wrote in a cryptic language known as esopsephia, which was a manipulation of Greek in such a way that letter-number combinations and correspondences meant one thing to the Romans, who might confiscate an epistle, and another thing to the far-flung Christian missionaries of the time. (It complicated matters enough that the Bible was written in Koine, which had no punctuation, such that "God is now here" could just as easily been "God is nowhere.") Robert Graves, the poet, in his fascinating work on poetry and nature symbolism (in particular, trees) suggested in a footnote that the Greek number count for To Mega Therion (The Great Beast) was the same for Nero Caesar. John was thus warning other Christians not of some event to happen sometime in the future, but of a current threat: Rome. The Priesthood is thus selling a lie.
I thought the coded writing of John was called the apocrypha. Regardless, what was simply communication with the 7 churches, has been twisted into some incredible bullshit thinking.
> By the same token, Anthony, it has now been shown to some folks' satisfaction that the whole notion of a Second Coming in general, and the Rapture in particular, is stupid
Well the Rapture, sure, but the notion of a second coming isn't just held by John of Patmos. Many of the gospels reference the Apocalyps and the coming of the Kingdom of Heaven. And some of the images they paint are every bit as crazy as the Left for Dead series portray.
Prophets never say when their prophesies will come true. They all seem to leave it to speculation.

In an effort to get staff to eat better, a team of Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) researchers restructured the main hospital cafeteria. They made two small changes, and those made a world of difference.
Since 2010, MGH has attached color coded labels to all items: green for the healthiest, yellow for less so, and red for the least healthy. The second move came a few months later, and involved rearranging the fridges and food racks. Healthier food was placed at eye level, and the less healthful was knocked down a level.
The first change led to a reduction in the sale of the red items by 23.8%, and the second lowered sales by another 14.2%. Green purchases, on the other hand, slightly improved, by 5.6% then 2.3%.
What the paper also notes is that these changes occurred for workers of all ethnic and educational backgrounds. While some other attempts at labeling had been less effective among certain groups, these two methods seem to have worked across the board.
If you're curious how the researchers decided on how to color code items, here's the official methodology:
Every item was labeled green, yellow, or red, and was rated on three positive (fruit/vegetable, whole grain, or lean protein/low-fat dairy as the main ingredient) and two negative criteria (saturated fat content and caloric content). Items with more positive than negative criteria were green ("consume often"). Items with equal numbers of positive and negative criteria or only one negative were yellow ("consume less often"). Items with two negative and no positive criteria were red ("there is a better choice in green or yellow"). Water and diet beverages with 0 kcal were green, despite having no positive criteria.

Enough with the Night Warning / Butcher Baker Nightmare Maker moaning! I myself am very disappointed that it was not released. It was announced in 2008 If I am not mistaken. It is now about to be 2012 with no updates or mentions of a release date. For whatever reason it's not getting released. Deal with it. Buy the titles you want ignore the ones you don't want. Don't shit on the release of a DVD release just because it's not the one you want.

Bill posted this on Latarnia on 9/23: "McNichol is done, but Susan Tyrell interview has sound problems. We filmed a new interview with the producer Stephen Briemer recently, but Bo Svenson is one trip I never want to make."
Several posts later, he mentions that "it's getting to the point" where sitting the movie makes more sense than releasing it, but he doesn't state outright that BBNM is canceled.
I think the recent addition of new supplements shows an intent to release it. But, things do sound a bit dire so who really knows?

With BlackBerry App World™ 3.0 beta coming soon, I was thinking about the evolution of BlackBerry App World and how far we've come. The BlackBerry App World™ storefront launched a little over two years ago, and over that time, we've made many feature improvements, enhanced the look and feel, and added a ton of compelling apps. BlackBerry App World is now in over 100 countries, seeing an average of 3 million downloads per day, and we recently crossed the 1 billion app download milestone!
I've been hearing about a number of great app success stories and I thought it would be fun to highlight a few of them here (and be sure to stay tuned to the Inside BlackBerry Developer's Blog to learn more about some of these and others in the coming months!).
Bellshare GmbH
Bellshare GmbH is based in Germany and offers a variety of interesting apps for BlackBerry® smartphones, including BeBuzz (free and paid versions), which is designed to let you assign LED light colors to particular contacts, and BeWeather, which is one of the leading weather apps on BlackBerry App World. In fact, Bellshare GmbH have almost 10 million downloads for the free versions of their apps combined, and have also achieved over $1 million dollars in sales through BlackBerry App World!
Doodle Blast
Doodle Blast, by BlackMoon Design, uses Flash® technology and is exclusive to the BlackBerry® PlayBook™ tablet. Doodle Blast is a puzzle game where physics plays a major role – you need to draw lines in order to guide falling marbles so they will fill the jar. It is quite addictive to play. 😉 In fact, in just 3 months on BlackBerry App World, Doodle Blast has surpassed 40,000 downloads.
EA Games
EA Games is a popular gaming platform and has many games available through BlackBerry App World that I'm sure you're familiar with including Bejeweled®, TETRIS®, SCRABBLE®, MONOPOLY®: HERE & NOW™, YAHTZEE® Adventures, The Sims™ 3, THE GAME OF LIFE, MONOPOLY®, The Simpsons Arcade, SimCity™ Deluxe and of course Need for Speed™, which comes pre-loaded with the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet.
Jingu Apps
Jingu is a popular app that leverages the BlackBerry® Messenger platform to allow users to create an avatar, upload emoticons and chat with friends. In less than one month on BlackBerry App World, Jingu surpassed over 700,000 downloads and is now well on the way to a million downloads.
Polar Mobile has created over 180 Super Apps for the BlackBerry® platform including Globe Life and Rogers SPORTSNET Mobile in Canada, as well as CNN Money and CBS Sports in the United States. Their apps concentrate on delivering an integrated and optimal user experience for BlackBerry smartphone users.
ScoreMobile is one of the most popular sports apps in BlackBerry App World today and is a true mobile application built from the ground up for all BlackBerry smartphones. This app provides up-to-the-minute sports scores, boxscores, player stats, betting odds, game previews, recaps, top stories, and league standings. In addition they even publish exclusive live blogs for key games and allow you to track live games with push alerts.
We've already started the move to BlackBerry App World 3.0 with the launch of Vendor Portal 3.0. The beta of BlackBerry App World 3.0 will start later this month, and we continue to evolve and improve the experience for both our developers and consumers. And as always, be sure to stay tuned to the Inside BlackBerry Blog for more updates!
