Sophie Rusetto is a 27-year old actress from Glastonbury in Somerset. For years she struggled with severe facial and body acne that impacted on both her professional and personal life. Determined not to be imprisoned by her skin, she explains how agreeing to be part of trial on Clarol's new sebum purifying treatment Sebopure changed her life.
Sophie says:
"Sebopure isn't a complete acne cure as I still get a few mild breaks outs now and then, but its far far worked better than anything else I have tried for my acne including going on the pill Dianette.
I first developed acne when I was 16, but it wasn't that bad, just typical teenage acne.
I was put on the contraceptive pill Dianette by my doctor to try and control my acne. It kind of worked, I saw about a 30% improvement. I was on that for around three years. I was also trying everything for acne off the shelves at Boots.
My acne stayed under control until I was about 22 when it suddenly worsened, spreading to my back and my buttocks.
I was so distraught about the state of my skin I developed Dermatillomania. I couldn't help but pick at my skin, often my face, which of course made my skin much worse as it helped the acne spread and intensify. My so-called coping mechanism had gone full circle.
I had also come off the pill and my hormones were all over the place. I decided to stop taking the pill because my skin wasn't getting any better. I had been on it for several years and I simply didn't feel comfortable being on it for so long just for cosmetic reasons.
Dermatillomania started as a mild problem but the more insecure I felt about my skin, the worse it got. I was just starting to work as an actress, I had a lot of self-doubt and my confidence was very rocky. Picking at my skin helped me to cope; it was a release for my insecurities.
I was very anxious that I didn't look perfect and felt as though I was being judged more harshly by agents and castings because of my skin, which made me feel all the more self-conscious.
I broke out in my worst acne outbreak ever about six months after I graduated from acting school. I'd just moved to London to try to find work. I went for casting after casting and was getting nowhere. At one point I got very low. I felt incredibly sad and angry whenever I saw myself in the mirror. I blamed my skin for not being where I wanted to be. It was eroding my confidence, a constant limiter to my progress. Every time I felt hopeful, my skin would break out and bring me down again.
My acne also drastically affected my relationships. If I ever went on dates, I'd feel the need to wear masses of make-up. And because I have acne on my back and bottom I was very self-conscious about ever being intimate with a man or taking my clothes off with the light on. As a result I didn't really have many boyfriends for most of my early 20s. While my friends were dating lots of guys, I generally kept myself to myself and was quite awkward and uncomfortable when it came to men as I felt they were judging me by my skin.
I knew I had to find a solution for my acne if I wanted to be confident and happy in myself. I became semi-fanatical about finding a cure and was always on the internet researching the condition. I tried changing my diet in lots of different ways, I tried both internal and external Chinese herbal remedies, I tried taking probiotics. I also tried the chemical route, a benzoyl peroxide gel, but it stung like mad, dried out my skin, making it very sore, and I was still left with acne.
That put me off using anything chemical again. On my insistence I was referred to a dermatologist and given the option of antibiotics. I was given a leaflet about the antibiotics, again I did a little research online and I was concerned by what I was reading. Some of the reports about the potential side-effects were worrying to say the least.
I heard about a new acne product called Sebopure from a friend who's a model. She was trialling it as part of a consumer trial and was very excited about it, as it had really cleared her skin which had been a nightmare for her because she was losing work due to her acne. She'd been so desperate she'd been on Roaccutane, but that had made her skin super dry, her eyes sore and her lips had cracked which was as bad for her appearance as the acne.
She was trying Sebopure as it wasn't chemical and also did something new, it purified the sebum rather than simply trying to kill acne bacteria and was supposed to improve skin texture as well as reduce acne. It made a lot of sense to me as my skin felt completely contaminated all the time, like it needed some kind of purification. I asked her for the details and contacted the company myself to ask if I could also be part of the trial.
They asked me to send photos of my skin and describe the level of my acne and then sent me the product to try. They asked me not to use any other acne products while trying Sebopure.
As soon as I began using Sebopure I could tell my skin liked it. It didn't sting, which was the first good sign.
I began to notice over a period of three weeks that I was still getting spots but they felt different. They were smaller, drier and more like black heads than big red pussy spots. There was less underlying swelling and they didn't hurt so much and they were more spaced out. There was also much less redness and soreness on the skin in between the spots.
After another few weeks or so I had gone from having smaller spots to having fewer spots.
I'd say I've seen about a 60% improvement in my skin and it's only been five weeks, which is incredible. If I wasn't still skin picking I think I'd have seen an even bigger improvement.
Still, this is the best improvement I have seen in my skin from any product I have tried so far and what is so encouraging is that the quality of my skin feels so much better. It's smoother, less sore and calmer. I don't feel like I am 'erupting' all the time and with make-up on my skin looks almost clear, not as if it's simply camouflaging. Without make-up you can still see the old scars and I still have some spots but my skin is paler, calmer and generally much smoother. And on good days I can consider going out to face the world make-up free, which is a revelation.
At castings I no longer see those looks of mild horror when I turn up. I feel people are focusing on my acting skills rather than on my skin. I can understand people's concerns as I'm casting for roles on TV and so no matter how good you are at acting, appearance is so important in this industry.
I'm hoping that with my clearer skin I'm going to start finding more success with TV roles as I know my acting skills are really good."
What is Sebopure and how does it help reduce acne?
Skin prone to acne produces excess sebum, which is what causes oily and congested skin.
Acne is caused by the build-up of dirt and bacteria in excess sebum which can lead to pore blockages and infection.
Sebopure, by UK acne skincare brand Clarol, is an innovative new anti-acne treatment that controls acne by keeping sebum production pure using a patented preserver ingredient derived from wild mustard leaf oil.
Via purifying sebum production, pore blockages and inflammation are reduced and sebum production itself begins to naturally diminish.
Sebopure contains a patented natural ingredient called Pixalia ™* made from a concentrated leaf oil extract from the Cleome Gynandra (wild mustard) plant. Pixlalia ™ has been scientifically proven as an active preserver due to naturally derived Rutin and hydroxycinnamic acid present in the plant extract.
Instead of working against the skin's natural processes through the use of harsh anti-bacterial agents, Sebopure works in harmony with the skin's natural sebum production, keeping sebum pure to prevent acne while not damaging or drying skin.
Sebopure is suitable for oily or combination acne-prone skin and is FREE from parabens, perfumes, SLS and MI.

The case for 3D printing in rapid prototyping
Changes identified late in the design cycle mean increases in the cost of development. Late-stage changes can result in time-consuming rework, expensive retooling or decisions to forgo improvements in the interest of time. Being slow to market or missing the mark is a competitive disadvantage at best - at worst it can have adverse effects on physicians and patients. Accelerate innovation by leveraging 3D printing solutions so you can iterate, validate and verify your products sooner.

Partnerships and changing the face of creative AV
From theatre and arts technical delivery to the full visual experience, David Mulcahy of Immersive AV tells us his story and how the recent partnership with disguise (formerly d3) is helping change the face of creative AV.
"From the beginning it's been about the full visual experience for me rather than just what's on the screen. It's my background in theatre and arts technical delivery and the fact that I've grown up and worked with visual media for a while now that's made me look at the complete event and not just individual aspects of a show.
"Because my career originated in theatre, this meant that I always looked at the full experience of the audience, made up from all of its component parts such as lighting, sound, set and playback. It came as quite a shock when I first moved into the 'corporate' world and found that these elements were not as 'joined up' as I was used to! It's much better these days but there are still occasions where the first time that the complete visual experience is looked at is when the different disciplines arrive on site."
Natural synthesis
"It was a natural progression moving from the technical side in theatre to the management of an interactive media centre in Tamworth where we did pretty much everything from DTP to running rehearsal spaces through to live events. I even broke out into computer programming, but it's these different skills that all have a part in what I do today! These assorted disciplines, combined with my knowledge of media playback and stage lighting all have a place in creating theatrical experiences for live events. It's the synthesis of understanding performance, amalgamated with technical knowledge that helps me deliver the vision of Artistic and Creative Directors – and often in translating their creative language into that spoken by the 'technical' world!
"It was in these early days that I initially worked closely with Jan Hüwel (Ex CEO at Coolux GMBH, now Executive Director at ioversal GmbH) and the guys from Coolux. We tended to look at things in a similar way, feeling that because lighting and video were treated as totally separate disciplines meant they didn't always marry up properly. We recognised that they all that was needed was different skill sets to enable lighting and video to talk cohesively to each other."
"Sharing a similar thought process with people like the team at Coolux, and now with those at disguise definitely inspires me. I like to push boundaries and there are many creative people out there who aren't afraid to take on a challenge. It's these risk-taking people that are combining technology, audio, video and lighting and using them in a way people don't expect that can make experiences magical. They're the ones that I tend to gravitate towards.
"I'm also a great daydreamer. I do long car journeys which allows my mind to wander. Quite often something seemingly completely unconnected will trigger an idea in my head allowing me to come to a solution to an AV conundrum. The other day I saw a kids wind turbine responding to a breeze which initiated an idea about how flags in a piece of video content could respond to real world influences such as wind strength.
"It was in one of my rare moments of 'resting' that I saw ITR were looking for help in some projection mapping and media server work at an open day they were organising. Fairly soon after the open day ITR founded Immersive AV and I joined them as Technical Director. Six months later I was asked to take on the role of MD. I'd previously been Technical Director and Media Consultant to companies such as XL Video (PRG) and Creative Technology."
Set apart from the competition
"Joining Immersive AV has given me an outlet for my creative maverick attitude and it's part of the basis for this partnership with disguise. We like to provide the creative solution to the technical question, concentrating primarily on the fantastic end result and working back from there. That end result can easily vary from a large scale event to a different way for people to experience a stand at an exhibition. We aim to apply the same ethos to all sizes of experience.
"The one thing that perhaps sets Immersive AV apart from our competition is that when we receive the brief from the client, we work with them to develop a scope of work, interpreting the client's brief before we even start. This is so we know and fully understand the clients requirements and expected outcome. We always begin with a brief of the creative project first prior to working on the software or hardware required.
"We take each project as an individual and independent entity. We believe that technology can be fitted around it rather than the other way round. For example if you can use a standard burglar alarm sensor to trigger content rather than a complex tracking system then do that – although we do complex tracking as well! We are project driven rather than technology driven and don't shoehorn technology and expense in to the detriment of creativity. One size doesn't fit all even if the brief looks incredibly similar to another from the outset.
"Being so heavily invested in media server work, we are very aware that disguise are amongst the best. In fact, we had already worked many times with disguise so the partnership with them has been an organic development – it was a natural choice."
"I believe, that from the client's point of view, the recognition that we are now partnered with disguise definitely contributes to Immersive's credibility. But it also helps us to focus on what we do best. We are not a rental house – we are an integral part of the creative workflow.
"And I believe It also brings Immersive AV experience into disguise. The partnership enables both companies to explore integration that we may not have had access to otherwise, combining our extensive experience of interaction with real world events with disguise playback power. It offers work outside of large touring shows, providing a diversification of projects across all markets from installations to live events, wherever and whenever they are.
"With the latest generation of disguise GX server range and their integration with the real time power of Notch™, we are entering a new era of experiences for audiences and participants engaging in events. For me it's a really exciting time where we can look forward to creating more magical experiences, blurring the lines between real and created worlds even further.
"These options allow us to fully explore with our clients' creative teams knowing that we have the technical and hardware assurance to back up the creative outpouring. In fact, we are increasingly being commissioned to develop proof of concept work prior to clients arriving at a final brief. It's great to be involved in developing concepts with clients as projects begin to develop and take shape. Bringing a creative vision to a physical reality is a challenging but hugely rewarding experience but I love calls that start with "is this even possible?".
"Have I been surprised at all with the partnership? No, no surprises. It's been an extremely smooth transition. I've been around media servers for such a long time that the partnership deal has been exactly as I expected. Perhaps the only surprise is how easily GX servers and Notch have integrated into our workflow. The next big step will be the way that people start to think about how to begin the next creative steps."
Roadmap to the future
"As for other partnerships, we are already a Christie and Coolux partner on certain interactive exhibition stands. Whatever we can do to help advance creative ideas into the workplace we will do and partner with those who are of a similar mindset to get things moving.
"The outlook for the future is bright. I believe our partnership with disguise will be one that will continue to grow and evolve. One of the best things about working with disguise is that you can see what's coming up and plan for the future. The trends we see in the world of creative experiences inform the roadmap to the next step in the visionary outlook.
"At Immersive we dare our clients to dream big, think big and push the realms of creativity. We believe the best experiences come from working together with our clients in partnership to create something special. Immersive's partnership with disguise can only bring the best out of both companies allowing both sets of clients to benefit from a truly creative and immersive collaboration."
David Mulcahy was talking to Laura Vallis.
The disguise perspective
Peter Kirkup, Technical Solutions Manager at disguise is also delighted at the joint venture. "We're really pleased that Immersive AV have joined our community as a disguise Studio Partner. The disguise Studio partnership is an extremely important part of our growing global network, offering the ideal environment to plan, design and simulate project ideas, as well as providing front-line disguise project development and support."
Kirkup continues, "Immersive AV's understanding of the disguise production workflow from start to finish is fundamental to our vision of creating a powerful, collaborative environment where artists and technologists can bring their shared vision to life.
"We've already seen Immersive AV use disguise for a diverse range of projects and are excited to see that grow and develop."

DDA Technology to revolutionise the music industry
The new digital album format called DDA is being called the future of music, able to store hundreds of tracks, lyrics, photos and liner notes usually found on an album sleeve. The technology allows for all these features to be stored on a pocket size USB memory stick. Northern Territory musician Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu will be one of the first artists to release albums using this format in the New Year.
HEATHER EWART, PRESENTER: It's been called the future of music - revolutionary digital music technology that has the potential to inject some commercial life into an ailing recorded music industry. The new digital album format, called DDA, can store hundreds of tracks plus all the lyrics, photos and liner notes usually found on a traditional album sleeve. All of it contained on a pocket size computer memory stick.
This year's music sensation from the Northern Territory, Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu, is one of the first artists to embrace the new format with several high-profile Australian albums due for DDA release in the New Year. Tracee Hutchison reports.
TRACEE HUTCHISON, REPORTER: A little over 100 years ago, the gramophone created a musical revolution. For the first time, music could be recorded and replayed and it stayed that way for decades, until compact discs heralded a new era of music portability in the 1980s.
But now, it's computers and digital technology that's completely transforming the way music is delivered.
SCOTT MURPHY, DDA CREATOR: It is a memory stick that we buy from China - that's simply what it is. But then we upload it with our software, our patented software, plus the content from the artist.
TRACEE HUTCHISON: This latest development in music technology is called a DDA, an updatable USB memory stick that is album, video clip, artwork, photos and social network all wrapped up in one. And it's been created in Australia by Melbourne music industry veteran Scott Murphy.
SCOTT MURPHY: Most music obtainable by a download is fairly what I call faceless. It just comes as a file. This is different - it's an album package. So it's trying to re-create the album experience from the '50s to the '90s that we all kind of grew up with and loved.
TRACEE HUTCHISON: In recent years, talk of the death of the album has been fuelled by the proliferation of music file sharing and illegal downloads in particular.
But many in the industry believe the DDA has the potential to redress the balance.
RICHARD MALLETT, AUSTRALIAN PERFORMING RIGHTS ASSOCIATION: I think back 18 months to two years ago, there was talk that the labels were gonna release on USB. And I think they did so to a certain extent in the US. I think maybe one or two releases occurred here in Australia. But I think it needed something else - not just another format. It needed another hook. And I think that the DDA may provide that hook.
TRACEE HUTCHISON: For artists like Lior, who'll release his latest album on DDA early in 2009, the format allows a greater connection with the people buying his music.
LIOR, MUSICIAN: I think things are changing, you know. Certainly illegal downloads have hurt artists, but I think the way to react to that is through building, you know, stronger relationships with your fans. And I think that's a good thing.
I think we're moving into an age where music is about sort of embracing a sense of community. And I think the days of just putting out a CD and throwing it out there and not knowing who's gonna buy it, you know, they're kinda coming to an end.
SCOTT MURPHY: There's no one answer for the woes of the record and music industry, because there's not one cause of the problem. It's not just illegal downloading - there's many causes for it. But, yes, this is one way that we can invigorate people to buy music again because for a great price, they get a much bigger experience.
TRACEE HUTCHISON: And if it means an increase in artists' royalties, then it's a welcome development according to the Australian Performing Rights Association.
RICHARD MALLETT: In these times, any new product that offers the chance to increase sales has gotta be viewed as a good thing. The challenge for the music industry is to find ways to monetise new products and new ideas and find ways to bring that money back to our members.
TRACEE HUTCHISON: The first two DDA releases, Sneaky Sound System and Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu, are already on the market, retailing at the same price as a CD.
SCOTT MURPHY: It's gonna appeal to the people who are fans of music. So, say if you're a fan of Gurrumul, you saw him on the ARIAs and you think this guy's fantastic and you really want to know Gurrumul and have an ongoing experience, in-depth experience. Well this is the best way to do that.
It actually creates a bridge between the artists and the consumers. So the artists can then say, "OK, I've got 10,000 people who I know like my music 'cos they've all bought my DDA. And I can continue to communicate with them and I can continue to deliver them new content. So I could be taking photos on my live tour of America, and within minutes, upload them to my 10,000 fans back home."
TRACEE HUTCHISON: Far from signalling the death of recorded music, the DDA could actually be its saviour.
Is this the future of music?
SCOTT MURPHY: This is a part of the future of music, definitely. I think we're in an age of options. The digital age has brought so many options to people, especially in the type and content and range of music that you can access now.
LIOR: I think it's certainly one aspect of the future of music. It's - you know, in a funny kind of way, you know, this is a more sophisticated way of musicians going back to being court musicians, you know, where they have a community of people that support them and this helps do that.
TRACEE HUTCHISON: All of it made possible with home-grown Australian technology.
SCOTT MURPHY: It's a world first. It comes out of Melbourne. And another beauty about the digital age that we're in is that people anywhere in any pocket of the world can invent products for the digital age and for the internet. And yeah, this one's come out of Melbourne and we are taking it to England and America early next year.
HEATHER EWART: Tracee Hutchison reporting.

My husband and I are in Woodward Oklahoma, he is doing a job here. We are from Arkansas and we have never seen such rude people as the people in this town.
The greeter at Walmart went all balistic because I wanted to get a different cart and I didn't put the first one back, but the whole 3 months we've been here they have always had the carts out in the isle so when you walk in its a straight shot. Apparently somebody got on to her for it so she decided to take it out on me and started yelling at me to put it back. I told her I was going to tell the manager and she screamed "GO AHEAD". So anyway the manager said he would talk to her .
I never seen him go over there.
I cannot wait to get back home where people know how to treat each other. I hate this town.
Product or Service Mentioned: Walmart Manager.
She should never have yelled at you, you don't know better, she should have called your mother and yelled at her for not teaching you to put things back where you found them. Also you are bashing a whole town because of one person? Are you sniffing something?
I used to live in Traverse city, MI and that Walmart was always very nice and helpful, I pay cash for my script so the pharmacist would always give me a discount but then I moved and could have never anticipated the years of BS trying to get my script filled. Every time I go in someone tells me a new lie and gives me the run around, "issues with the manufacture, no longer carry that script, will take 3 months to fill est, and offer to send it somewhere else.
I go in for days until I get someone to fill it or place the order and I have noticed the story seems to change when I say i'm paying cash, by the way the cost is $180 more then TC. Sadly, this is not the only pharmacy that wants to be selective on what they fill, I called every pharmacy in town and been told "Don't have it, wont order it", had to drive four hours a few times to have it filled.
Though research I found that its legal for an entire town to deny to fill any script, for example, that this is a huge issue with Birth Control down South. Pharmacist very simply should not have the right to be a third party in-between you and your doctor at least not without some regulation.
Irish, shut the *** up!! You have no clue what you are talking about.
My WalMart leaves the carts in the middle also, I don't see what the big deal is.
How can you call somebody lazy when nothing in that story describes the customer as lazy! Business' should treat ALL customers with respect.
You lazy person. You can't just leave the carts anywhere.
Go and call the manager.
I hope he tells you how lazy you are. if this four year old put the cart back she would not have to deal with rude door greeters.
These door greeters are not being trained properly. They believe they own everything even before you enter the store.
I deal with rudeness from the dorr greeters constantly. They are constantly checking bagage before you even start your shopping. They have very little respect for the customer who pays there paycheck. But you see they have forgotten that.
And see that is the problem with these door greeters and cashiers. They forget we pay there salary. And since when is it customer last and employees first. The golden rule has been broken which is the customer is alwasy right regardless of the situation.
I have been in many situations where I was blamed for something the employee did while I am being the paying customer. But it is not just a t the walmart stores it is everywhere. Customer relations is not being taught like it was years ago. Now adays the employees are right and the customer is wrong and that is the same with the managment of these retail stores.
It does not even pay to talk with managment about anything anymore. They take sides with the employee before they even hear both sides of the store especially here in the champaign walmart here in Illinois.
The customer is NOT always right. IF that *** saying was true, most businesses would be broke due to being robbed blind by the "customers." Most customers I've encountered during my stint in retail were whiny, unreasonable, threatening, and tried to bargin prices like we were a flea market.
No, the customer is not always right. Usually, the customer is trying to get something for nothing.
I agree with Turtle. What was the problem the next customer would be happy to have a cart waiting for them.
And if there is something wrong with the cart then they should take it off the floor. What happened that greeters just stand there, they use to have a cart waiting for you.
when I am home visiting my parents I do shop at whalemart. Only place to shope for 20 miles. So I have no choice.
Now I refuse to buy or eat anything that is frozen and needs a microwave to "cook" it. It's just *** "food"
Last time I was there I had 2 baskets full of fresh veggies, meats and fruits. Behind me a huge family bringing on any scale about 1.5 tons of flab. The whale of a woman tried to make fun of me for what I was buying. After I had her almost in tears I paid for my stuff. the store manager was at the end of the isle and he asked me not to come back! I was not a happy camper.
So instead os driving there to shop I drive an extra 25 miles to the farmers market and shop there. Ya know what? It's cheaper, tastes a *** of a lot better and is better for me and the environment.
Suck that Whalemart!
You sound like a bully. Like an obese person doesn't have enough problems with society without some bully making him/her cry. I hope you are proud of yourself.
And listen up EDNA there's nothing wrong with shopping at wal mart dumb ***. Unless you hate saving money.
What the *** are you even on this sight for if you don't have something to *** about anyway. Something of your own!
Maybe I didn't explain good enough. She usually pulls the carts out in the walk way so people don't have to go to the side and get them so I actually thought I was helping her. But apparently somebody said something about her doing that and I didn't know it.
Why didn't you put the first cart back, which would have been the polite thing to do -- instead of leaving it sit for her to deal with? You sound more rude than the greeter.
If you grabbed a sack of potatoes and you wanted a different one,would you just drop the first sack on the floor?
Probably. Plus, you shop at Whale-Mart -- 'nuf said.
Don't you mean big sister! Men don't say "you go gurl." duh!!!!
You go gurl!!! I am so proud to have come frm the same womb as you!!
SALLY you don't know what the *** you are talking about. let me guess you're an old rude *** too.
You're the rude lazy ***. They should have kicked you out of the store.

Gujarati Kadhi Recipe - Sweet And Spicy Gujarati Kadhi
The Gujarati Kadhi is a lip smacking sweet and sour kadhi that is packed with flavors from green chilli, ginger and a cinnamon tadka. You can add in fresh steamed peas or corn to add to the color and taste of the kadhi. Serve it with Khichdi and Aloo Na Shaak.
Gujarati Kadhi is a yogurt based sweet and spicy curry that is simple yet irresistible; it gets the sweetness from jaggery, the spice from cinnamon and the heat from green chillies and lends itself to a pure comfort meal.
Kadhi goes well with any vegetable and especially when you have legumes as one of the main dishes. The yogurt-based gravy lightens the protein rich legumes, making you feel light after a meal.
Gujarati Kadhi Recipe is traditionally served along with Khichdi and Aloo Shaak together known as Khichdi Kadhi and Batata nu Shaak Recipe
If you are looking for more Gujarati Recipes here are some:
4 Servings
- 1 cup Curd (Dahi / Yogurt)
- 2 tablespoons Gram flour (besan)
- 1/4 teaspoon Turmeric powder (Haldi)
- 1 tablespoon Jaggery , powdered
- Salt , to taste Ingredients for seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon Cumin seeds (Jeera)
- 1/4 teaspoon Mustard seeds
- 1 inch Cinnamon Stick (Dalchini)
- 1 teaspoon Ginger , grated
- 2 Green Chillies , slit
- 1 tablespoon Ghee
- 1 sprig Curry leaves , torn
- 1 tablespoon Coriander (Dhania) Leaves , chopped
- 2 tablespoons Green peas (Matar) , steamed (optional)
How to make Gujarati Kadhi Recipe - Sweet And Spicy Gujarati Kadhi
To begin making the Gujarati Kadhi Recipe, we will first combine all the yogurt, besan, ginger, green chilli, turmeric powder and jaggery along with 2-1/2 cups of water together in a bowl and whisk until smooth and there are no lumps.
Place the Gujarati kadhi mixture in a saucepan and heat until the kadhi begins to boil.
Keep whisking the Kadhi as it continues to boil, as this makes it smooth and creamy, thus giving it a perfect texture.
Once the kadhi has come together into a smooth and creamy mixture while it was boiling, turn the heat to low, and simmer to kadhi while we prepare the seasoning mixture. Keep simmering for 5 to 10 minutes.
Simmer for at least 5 minutes before you can add the seasoning mixture. This ensures that the raw smells go away and we get creamy and delicious Gujarati Kadhi.
Heat ghee in a sauce pan on medium heat; add the mustard seeds and cumin seeds and allow them to crackle. Stir in the curry leaves, cinnamon, green chillies and ginger.
Gradually, add the seasoning mixture to the above Gujarati Kadhi and allow the mixture to come to a boil.
Turn off heat and stir in the freshly chopped coriander leaves into the Kadhi and the optionally steamed green peas and serve hot.
Serve the Gujarati Kadhi along with Khichdi and Aloo Shaak together known as Khichdi Kadhi and Batata nu Shaak Recipe.

In last week's blog post, I shared a few winter must-haves I have recently added to my French chic wardrobe.
Today I'm sharing one of my favorite classic essential, the tie-neck blouse a.k.a the bow blouse which is the perfect chic statement to any holiday outfits, that can easily take you from your office holiday party to a girl's night out.
For this holiday outfit, I styled this white tie-neck blouse with a black tweed blazer from Zara, metallic skinny jeans (these are old from 7 For All Mankind) and my favorite black suede scalloped sandals from Sam Edelman. I love the fluid lines of the blouse and the tie-neck is flattering any way you tie it (with a bow or simply down like a tie).
You can shop this exact blouse from Ann Taylor on LIKETOKNOW.IT. I've also linked similar metallic skinny jeans and a few other black tweed jackets.
What I love most about a classic tie-neck blouse is it's such a versatile staple you can wear anytime of the year (except during the hot summer days). It's perfect to wear at the office or pairing with a pair of jeans for a date night!
Apologies for keeping this blog post a bit shorter than usual. Christmas is less than ten days away and I still haven't finished my Christmas shopping or send out our family cards. This year, I'm sending out a personal note with each card so it's taking a bit more time 🙂 So off I go!
As always, thank you for reading.
Hope you're enjoying the Holiday Season!

How Two Artists Discovered the Art Within
"I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free." Michelangelo
For Joe Smith and Claudia Altshuler, it wasn't just an image they liberated, but the artist within. They discovered their artistic gift in the second chapter of their lives, revealing it's never too late to carve a new path. And their art is an inspiring expression of this journey.
Joe Smith: Shedding the Suit and Tie for a Blacksmith's Apron
After retiring as an accountant, Joe Smith, consulted with faith-based life coach, David Jewitt and his Your One Degree program to discover his next pursuit. Eight months later, he freed the artist within. "The Lord was directing me," Smith shares. Now, he's created a niche business making ironwork art and furniture.
Although predominately self taught, he now seeks short-term "apprenticeships" from master blacksmiths. He's passionate about honing his craft. Perhaps this pursuit for precision reflects a trait that first led him to accounting. But now, he's marrying exacting standards with subjective artistry to create art with high-quality craftsmanship and innovation. (He has been featured in national media arts publications.) "You grow in your craft. I've mastered different techniques and created things that two years ago, I wouldn't have tried."
His Collection:
He makes customized furniture from handcrafted coffee tables with grapes and grapevine motifs, executive office desks made from refurbished cargo wood, fireplace screens with cattail designs, to smaller decor items from vases with metal roses and hummingbirds, advent wreaths and candelabras (popular Christmas gifts), and campsite tools.
Strike While It's Hot!
His studio is a workshop on his property. Here, he uses a gas forge he made himself and a coal forge that heats up to 2000 degrees for larger pieces of steel. Orange heat, dangerous sparks and sharp banging are common, but these harsh elements allow him to work with his hands and tap into the creativity within. And in this second chapter of his life, he wouldn't have it any other way.

Claudia Altshuler: A Storyteller Without Words
"Art as a reflection of ourselves." Claudia Altshuler
Claudia Altshuler: A Storyteller Without Words
Nothing is more intuitive than the unspoken language of art. For Claudia Altshuler, she found creative expression through different non-verbal mediums. First as a child pianist. But when performance anxiety hit, she stopped peforming in public.
Then in her mid-thirties, she discovered another artist within. Her discovery occurred when she was newly married to her second husband– both a writer and ceramic hobbyist. After enrolling their children in courses at the Edmond Fine Arts Institute, she took a few herself. She discovered her gift after painting a portrait of Leonardo Da Vinci.
"Art makes me happy because I'm able to communicate without words. The canvas becomes my voice."
Predominately self-taught, Altshuler also studied under master painters and still attends workshops to continually grow as an artist. But it's French Expressionism painter, Georges Rouault, who inspires her work. "In actuality, Rouault is in the thread of all my learning and continues to be." She connects to his mastery of expressing the emotional and spiritual journey in his art. "I don't paint to capture 'what is.' I'm an emotional and experiential painter. I paint as a storyteller, hoping the piece evokes a memory, feeling or simply contemplation."
Her creativity extends to her method. While painting, she finds it helpful to reflect her piece in a mirror or paint a subject upside down to take her outside of what is. Her style is loose, bold and fearless. "I'm not worried about criticism or reception. I'm simply expressing."
Steps to Nothing [Abstracts] and Portraits: Autobiographical, capturing Altshuler's inner transformation; yet, expansive, so people connect with their story.
Florals: A seasonal, social collection, inspired by the emergence of life in the spring and summer.
Landscapes: Capture her emotional and spiritual experiences, inspired by different moments in nature.
Holiday: Her two separate series, Trees and Madonna, capture the beauty of Christmas—family, joy, connection and evaluation.
The Madonna series, "A Mother's Prayer" and its sequel, "Answered Prayer", express the bond of family and spiritual experiences.
"The whole reason why I paint is connection. When someone does connect, it's the most beautiful feeling." As another avenue of connection, Altshuler writes a letter to clients purchasing an original piece, sharing the story behind the work they bought. She also enjoys meeting clients in person and hearing how her work resonates with their story.
"The beauty of painting is it creates a conversation among the painter, the canvas and the viewer. As people approach anything, each comes from a different place, so the conversations are varied. I paint because it is communication without limitations."

Flat as a pancake is not used as often as flat as a board, which means virtually the same thing. It can be in reference to any type of object that is flat, or even a persons figure such as their chest or abdomen which is very flat.

#12 Softball Scores Two Runs In The Fourth Inning To Defeat #16 Oregon State, 2-0
April 21, 2001
CORVALLIS, Ore. - Senior Kelly Hauxhurst (Westminster, Calif.) scored the game-winning run, as the 12th-ranked Washington softball team defeated #16 Oregon State Saturday, 2-0, at the OSU Softball Complex. With the win, the Huskies improved to 29-16 overall and 5-5 in the Pac-10, while the Beavers fell to 34-16-1 overall and 3-5 in conference play.
The Huskies scored the game's only runs in the bottom of fourth inning, when Hauxhurst reached base on a lead-off bunt single. UW sophomore Jamie Clark (Tustin, Calif.) then belted a hard line drive to the gap in right-center field as Hauxhurst rounded third base and headed home. In the play at the plate, Hauxhurst was called safe when Oregon State's catcher Shelly Prochaska was charged with obstruction for blocking the base. Clark, who ended up with a triple on the previous play, then scored on a wild pitch by OSU pitcher Monica Hoffman.
Hoffman, who tallied a career high 13 strikeouts, had struck out seven straight Husky batters prior to giving up the bunt single to Hauxhurst in the top of the fourth inning.
Washington pitcher Tia Bollinger (Santa Ana, Calif.) no-hit the Beavers through three and a third innings before OSU shortstop Shawna Feldt slapped a single up the middle with one out in the top of the fourth. The Beavers' final two hits of the game came two innings later as Michele Chariton and Brooke Rutschman both reached base on back-to-back singles with one out. Bollinger, however, got designated player Brynnen Guthrie to strikeout looking and Feldt to ground out to third base to end the Beavers' biggest threat.
With the win, Bollinger moved to 26-4 on the season, while Hoffman fell to 11-8.
Washington and Oregon State will face again Sunday for a single game, beginning at 1 p.m., at the Oregon State Softball Complex.

In the days leading up to Easter we often hear about what people are giving up for Lent, but when Holy Week is over, we tend to fall back into our old lives. Often these things end up being somewhat superficial. What if rather than thinking about giving things up, we started looking for things we can give away? This type of thinking involves our hearts, and giving from our hearts always leads somewhere good. If we can somehow separate ourselves from the busyness and distractions of our messy and complicated lives, we often discover things of far greater value.
Giving from the heart helps us do just that.
Many of us may be living with purpose, but are we purposely living? Each week that goes by, I learn more about what this really means. Probably the biggest principle I've learned lately is that the more my heart loves to give, the more opportunities I will have to receive. Let that sink in…
The more my heart loves to give, the more opportunities I will have to receive.
I am a mentor for Thrive15.com, the world's premier online education platform that helps entrepreneurs, aspiring entrepreneurs, and "in-trepreneurs" (entrepreneurial-minded people who work within an organization). Thrive15.com created "1 for 1 HandUp Movement." With every new Thrive15 membership given away, they give a free subscription to a U.S. Veteran or active-duty service member and their spouse. That's what I call, "giving from the heart."
When a farmer plants a lot of good seed, he gets a good harvest in return. When giving from the heart becomes part of our daily thinking, we will be on the lookout for opportunities to give. Chances to give may include simple things like:
If a farmer plants cheap vegetable seeds, he gets cheap vegetables. If he plants premium seeds, he gets premium vegetables.If you want to take giving from the heart a step further, try including a small amount of money. The opportunities to bless others financially are endless. Here are just a few:
At the time of this post, the video below has had over 9 million views. That's 9 million people it may have inspired to give from the heart. What does it inspire you to do?

13 Oct 2017
The book will publish in July 2018 on what would have been Nelson Mandela's 100th birthday and will tie in with the global campaign that the Mandela family have planned to promote the centenary.
It will be illustrated by Sean Qualls, the Coretta Scott King award-winning illustrator of Before John Was a Jazz Giant.
In this book, two great-grandchildren (aged 7 and 6) have asked their grandmother 15 questions about the man they remember as Grandad and the world remembers as Nelson Mandela. They learn that he was a freedom fighter, a President and a Nobel Peace Prize-winner, and that they can continue his legacy in the world today. Seen through a child's perspective, and authored jointly by Zazi Mandela, Ziwelene Mandela and Ambassador Zindzi Mandela, this amazing story will be told as never before.
It has been described as 'the only book of its kind' by the Mandela family, as it is the only book for children about Nelson Mandela that has been created and endorsed by them.
Rights were acquired by Commissioning Editor Katie Cotton from Mandela Legacy Media Proprietory Limited. Qualls was represented by Holly McGhee of NY based Pippin Properties.
Rachel Williams, Publisher at Lincoln Children's Books, said: "Mandela's message of love's triumph over hate has never been more relevant. We're honoured to be working with his family to publish this historic book."
Lincoln Children's Books has a 40-year history of publishing books on diversity and freedom. Its award-winning We Are All Born Free, Dreams of Freedom and Imagine – all published in partnership with Amnesty International – have sold in 30+ languages worldwide.

The Secret to Better Project Planning for Less Frustration in Scheduling
Posted by Martijn van der Hoeden
Project managers can learn a lot about dealing with uncertainty from military commanders. One of the most valuable quotes from U.S. General Dwight Eisenhower is "Plans are worthless, planning is everything."
What he meant by that is that things are never going to go exactly according to plan. The successful leader is always planning and adapting to each new situation. Stubbornly sticking to an obsolete plan is a sure recipe for disaster.
It's one thing to adapt rapidly to new market conditions, and it's another thing entirely to communicate those changes effectively to all project teams. The best way to get there is with the next generation of cloud-based scheduling tools that solve these problems immediately.
Information Everywhere
The latest project planning software resides in the cloud, with an intuitive project dashboard your whole team can access from a desktop, laptop or mobile device. Communication is not an issue because the team can instantly see changes to worker schedules and resource planning, even in their own Outlook.
Seamless integration with your PSA & ERP solution, time tracking and financial applications make it clear what changes on the back end imply for team tasks and deadlines. As soon as an employee calls in sick or takes paid time off, you can adjust team priorities to meet critical deadlines and budget caps.
Situations like these will arise time and again. In such cases, it helps to have a long-term scheduling plan. This is less about maintaining a staff list and availability chart, and more about formulating policies and frameworks managers can rely on in an emergency.
From Strategy to Tactics
Most project managers agree on general principles, but applying those principles in the best way is really an art form that determines your degree of success. Get advice on both strategy and tactics from experts in project management watching our on-demand webinar on excellence in project performance with the Unit4 PSA Suite. You'll pull ahead of the competition with insights into forecasting sales, advanced invoicing and the latest tech for intelligent project planning. The future is uncertain, but you don't have to be.

1. Grantchester: When ITV's Grantchester first aired in 2014, I called it the year's best show. It returns next month, and there's no reason to think that Series 2 won't top my list again. Grantchester is an original: part murder mystery, part character drama -- but in proportions I've never seen before, equally (and exquisitely) balanced. Each episode a mere 45 minutes, each one offering up a new case as it pushes the ongoing story-lines forward -- but the continuing plots never feel slight, and the detective work never feels slighted. The supporting cast is uniformly strong, but the show's success rests largely on star James Norton's sturdy shoulders. I've seen Norton in a half-dozen roles now (most recently as Prince Andrei in War and Peace), and he's never failed to impress, but Sidney Chambers plays to all his strengths. He's a vicar in 1953 England, still mired in memories of the war: tortured and self-loathing, looking to others to deliver him from the darkness. Yet he's also the ideal father confessor: open-faced, reassuring, nonjudgmental -- except when it comes to himself, and then he's unforgiving. "I'm supposed to be setting an example," Sidney bemoans in one episode, when his fondness for whiskey and weakness for woman have led him to another indiscretion -- and yet his empathy for others, and his sincere belief in the lessons he preaches, make him refreshingly human, and genuinely heroic. Crime-solving comes easy to Sidney Chambers; it's life that's hard to master. And as played by Norton, a warm and expressive actor whose features seem sculpted for the small screen, you see someone fully suited to sharing God's plan, even as he searches for his own answers. Norton makes Sidney Chambers a memorable and refreshingly complex hero, but his performance aside, the most remarkable thing about Grantchester -- remarkable for any show challenging convention and redefining the genre -- is how assured it is in its execution. There were no missteps in Series 1. Writer Daisy Coulam has precious few credits to her resume, but she's a talent to watch, just as Grantchester is a show to cherish.
2. Marvel's Agent Carter: The best of the current comic-book adaptations, and, of course, the only one in grave danger of cancellation. So if it might not be picked up, what makes its two seasons worth investing in? Because it's a "superhero show" done right: one devoid of missteps, that only continues to improve. It strands its formidable secret agent Peggy Carter in a period dedicated to the disempowerment of women: the years following World War II, when men returned from battle to reclaim their old jobs and women were once again relegated to second-rate status. In Season 1, the show plays as a bit of a polemic; by Season 2, it lets go of the anger and simply offers itself as an antidote to the pervasive chauvinism -- serving up some of the strongest female characters to grace the small screen. Agent Carter eschews the kind of plot contrivances that started to take down The Flash barely months after it got started; it avoids the dour sameness that has set in on Arrow. Admirably earnest as it carries out its season-long missions, it's also delightfully playful: amiable without being arch, cheeky without being campy. It's got a trio of charismatic leads -- Hayley Atwell, James D'Arcy and Enver Gjokaj -- and with the exception of one first-season Russian scientist I wanted to chuck out a window, some of the best villains I've seen in recent years. (And I am not one who cares for the current crop of TV villains, but the two currently powering the story-line -- and I'll say no more, so if you do tune in, you can enjoy the element of surprise -- are spot-on.) And Season 2, which wisely transplanted its leads from New York City to Los Angeles, has been a heady mix of Hollywood hedonism and female empowerment. (You've got to love a show that understands that only in Tinseltown, where looks triumph over logic, could a villain successfully hide a ghoulish scar behind a peek-a-boo bang.) The show is as no-nonsense as Peggy Carter herself, yet as beguiling as Hayley Atwell in her Forties frocks. It will be missed when it exits the airwaves, but hopefully will always be there for the (re)viewing.
3. Indian Summers: One of the highlights of 2015 didn't make it into my recent year-in-review -- because I didn't get around to seeing it till 2016. So let's correct a grievous wrong. Indian Summers was the best continuing drama I saw on TV last year, except I didn't see it till this year: a glorious piece of epic showmanship, remarkable acting, and sumptuous production values -- the kind that TV so rarely engages in anymore. I put off watching it for a time: I saw some reviews describe it as "a slow-burner" that "took a while to get going." It turned out to be nothing of the kind. Sometimes I fear that if a show doesn't boast a heavily-choreographed fight scene every fifteen minutes, it'll be labeled as "slow." (For the record, I found parts of Jessica Jones painfully plodding -- mired in the same story beats and tonal cul-de-sacs for episodes at a time -- but because there was always a well-timed smackdown to break up the monotony, no one seemed to mind much.) Indian Summers didn't take "a while to get going" at all; there was merely a lot to digest: characters, relationships, history, backstory. A half-dozen plots wove through each episode, intersecting capriciously and at times colliding inexorably -- how is that slow? It's 1932, during the final years of British colonial rule in India, and as the power-players take to Simla, at the foothills of the Himalayas, to rule and revel, the locals take to the streets to evoke a call for national independence. A lot of viewers compared it (sometimes unfavorably) to 1984's Jewel in the Crown; yes, they're set in similar periods, but they couldn't be less alike in terms of approach, focus or tone. It's the kind of series that involves you in both the personal and political entanglements, and although the historical events are familiar, the way they unfold -- and how they impact the lives of the principal characters -- is never less than engaging, and often engrossing. Extraordinarily well-played by a cast headed by Julie Walters (in a career-best performance, playing a nasty piece of work without ever asking for sympathy), with powerful turns by Henry Lloyd-Hughes, Jemima West, Nikesh Patel, Fiona Glascott, and Alexander Cobb. Exceptional viewing, and happily, returning to Channel 4 in 2016.
4. Elementary: Now in its fourth season, and I still see folks dismiss it as "just another CBS procedural." It's not. It's a delicious hybrid -- part absorbing character study, part sturdy whodunnit, enlivened by the crackling chemistry between Jonny Lee Miller (as Sherlock) and Lucy Liu (as Joan Watson). Creator Rob Doherty avoided the potential pitfalls of transplanting Sherlock Holmes to modern-day New York; far from it: he used the setting to inform the character. A superior Season 2 episode opened with Sherlock addressing his Narcotics Anonymous support group with uncharacteristic wistfulness: "I often wonder if I should have been born in another time. My senses are unusually -- what one could even say unnaturally -- keen. And ours is an era of distraction -- it's a punishing drumbeat of constant input. This cacophony which follows us into our homes and into our beds, it seeps into our souls, for want of a better word. For a long time, there was only one poultice for my raw nerve endings, and that was copious drug use. So in my less productive moments, I'm given to wonder: if I'd just been born when it was a little quieter out there, would I have even become an addict in the first place? Might I have been more focused, a more fully realized person?" And that's the particular genius of Doherty's Elementary. Outfitting and surrounding Doyle's late-Victorian creation with the wonders of modern technology doesn't simply make him more diabolically clever; it also makes him as tortured and stressed, as angry and isolated as eight million other New Yorkers -- and then as stunned when he stumbles into a friendship that helps him heal. And heal he does, as the character has grown remarkably in four seasons. Elementary had one misstep in Season 2: an attempt to drive a wedge between Sherlock and Joan that failed because of casting and chemistry. But otherwise, it's a show that's gotten more confident with each passing season, and easily the best performance I saw by an actor in 2015 was Miller in the episode "For All You Know," in which Sherlock was forced to consider that he might have murdered a young woman while he was using. As we head into the second half of its fourth season, Elementary seems firmly on a roll, with only the potentially over-the-top thesping of John Noble, newly added as Sherlock's father, a slight cause for concern. It's a show that's never dominated the TV landscape the way it deserved to, but if you've never watched, I'm told it makes for swell binge-viewing.
5. Unforgotten: After watching BBC's masterful adaptation of War and Peace, I remarked to a friend in the UK that things like that just don't get done over here anymore: those grand historical miniseries that used to be the bread-and-butter of sweeps programming. While admitting the superiority of British television in that respect, my friend countered that we in the States have our own genre series that the UK hasn't replicated or perfected -- chief among them, the newfangled police procedural that pairs old-fashioned detective work with the latest in forensic science. And indeed, those sorts of shows aren't as ubiquitous in the UK as they are here in the States; there was a time, from roughly 2002 to 2010, when the US airwaves were cluttered with CSI spin-offs and clones. Any new series would have to have a damn good hook to re-engage this procedural-weary TV viewer -- and indeed, ITV's Unforgotten, which premiered in the fall of 2015 and has already been picked up for a second series, makes a stale genre feel fresh again. On the surface, Unforgotten is what CBS's Cold Case would have been if each murder had taken six episodes to solve, but it's buoyed by a delicious conceit at its core. Unlike the other procedurals, we don't meet the suspects only when the police come to interview them. We meet them from the start. Even as the cold case is warming up, we're introduced to clusters of friends and family members, and became engaged in their personal stories -- without knowing, as yet, who among them might be connected to the crime. It allows writer/creator Chris Lang some wonderful reveals along the way, and further, by the time the police come calling, we've become so engrossed in the suspects' lives that seeing them disrupted -- and potentially destroyed -- becomes deeply distressing. The result is a show far more affecting than the average police procedural. And its ace-in-the-hole: star Nicola Walker, one of the most versatile yet underrated English actors, able to delineate and differentiate characters without ever stooping to the theatrical tricks lesser talents rely on. The ending of Series 1 was a little pat for my tastes, but Walker's empathetic performance, ably abetted by the winning Sanjeev Bhaskar, more than made up for any deficiencies.

My name is Ashley DeNardo.
I come from a loud, Italian family who knows how to cook a meal. I enjoy writing, playing music, singing and learning. I have an unquenchable thirst for knowledge, wisdom and adventure.
I graduated Cum Laude from West Virginia University in May 2016 with a degree in journalism, another in anthropology and a minor in history.
I began this blog because I've been through quite a journey with my mental and physical health, and I have still got a ways to go. All of us can always improve, and I would like to help anyone who is trying to.
I have been actively involved in campus life since my arrival at WVU in 2012. In the past, I was a news reporter and DJ for the college radio station U92FM. I served as the PR manager of both WVU College Republicans as well as Anarchapella, a singing group on campus. I interned for WVGOP during President Obama's second election cycle and achieved the status of top victory caller in the state of West Virginia. I am the former Arts & Entertainment editor and web editor of The Daily Athenaeum, the WVU newspaper. I also served as the webmaster for the National Society of Collegiate Scholars, an honor society at WVU that is dedicated to community service and academic achievement.
During the Fall 2015 semester, I worked as an intern for WVU's annual Mountaineer Week celebration, where I led the Family Fun Day committee in planning child-friendly events for Halloween.
For a month during the summer of 2015, I attended a forensic anthropology and archaeology field school in San Bernardino, California. The first week was spent in rigorous classes, at the end of which was a cumulative exam. After passing the exam, I spent three weeks with my team, excavating human remains at a cemetery where unknowns and indigents are buried by the county. We worked in accordance with the local sheriff department's Unidentified Persons Project, which works to bring justice and closure to the forgotten.
In the near future, I would like to attend graduate school for biological archaeology while working for a local or online publication. In this way, I will keep both degrees active and relevant. My ultimate professional goals include writing for scientific publications and working with ancient, historical and modern remains to discover identity and circumstances of death. My dream jobs would be working as a health and science journalist and leading excavations involving bioarchaeology.
No matter where life takes me, writing will always remain a part of who I am.

Toyota Innova tops the J.D. Power Initial Quality Study 2014
According to J.D. Power Asia Pacific 2014 India Initial Quality StudySM (IQS), Toyota Innova ranks highest in the MUV/MPV segment scoring the least with respect to PP100 (problems per 100 vehicles). Other Toyota vehicles – the Toyota Liva & Etios, were ranked second and third in the 'Upper Compact Segment' and 'Entry Midsize Segment' category respectively.
The study, now in its 18th year, measures problems experienced by vehicle owners during the first two to six months of ownership and examines more than 200 problem symptoms covering eight vehicle categories (listed in order of frequency of reported problems) like the: engine and transmission; vehicle exterior; driving experience; HVAC; features, controls and displays; vehicle interior; seats; and audio, entertainment and navigation. All problems are summarized as the number of problems per 100 vehicles (PP100). Lower PP100 scores indicate a lower rate of problem incidence and higher initial quality.
Sharing his views on this occasion, Mr. N Raja, Director and Senior Vice- President, Sales and Marketing, Toyota Kirloskar Motor expressed, "We are delighted at the results, as the feedback and reviews are by our very own customers. This rank bears testimony to Toyota's 'Customer First' philosophy and our commitment to India. Scores received by Toyota in the survey is a reflection of the impact and connect we have had with our customers and we would like to thank everybody involved in making this happen. Such appreciation and recognition further motivates us to incorporate Toyota's global standards of Quality, Durability and Reliability – QDR in everything we do."

This is one of the nicest CY locations I have ever been to.
At check in they gave me a welcome pack which contained 2 bottles of water, 2 nature valley trail mix and booklet for nearby attractions.
I was upgraded to their corner suite on the top floor with a nice view of the Glen Canyon. They had also given us extra soaps, body wash as I had put in a mobile request – the first time such a request has been honored.
The breakfast spread was very good with good hot and cold selections. They also had an omelet station though communication with the guy was a bit of a problem as he could not understand what I was saying. I think he found it hard to believe that someone would have an omelet with only onion and sausage as he kept asking me for different veggies and cheese. The omelet was very delicious though.
This hotel does not look or feel like your typical CY location, could be mainly because of the location.
It is in a prime location to explore Page area. At the end 2 days was sufficient as there is not much to explore in the area unless you are visiting Grand Canyon – in that case 3 would be enough.

Kozhikkode: The mahouts of Sree Krishna temple at Guruvayur are upset over the way in which their colleague Subash was shunted from one hospital to another after he was attacked by a temple elephant during the Kazhchasiveli procession on Sunday.
Subash (30), a mahout, underwent emergency surgery at Amala Hospital in Thrissur after one of the elephants attacked him with its tusk and punctured his chest. Subash succumbed later in the day.
According to other mahouts, Subash was first rushed to the medical centre in the temple from where he was shifted to another hospital. "But doctors there referred him to a private medial college hospital in Thrissur, where he underwent surgery. A devotee from Kollam signed the formality papers in the hospital before the surgery,' they said.
Disappointed at the 'casual' attitude of the temple authorities in the matter, the mahouts said the same rogue elephant had tried to attack Subash a few days ago. "But he escaped then," a mahout said.
They also alleged that the health centre in the temple had registered Subash as an unidentified person in its office records.
