Has anyone tried the new stage 2 map with a mountune intake and front mount?

I wouldn't recommend using an OTS map optimized for one company's parts with another's.
Lol that's exactly what an ots map is for

Yes, I have and currently am. I do not have the mountune intake but the mountune-inspired DIY modded stock intake with a K&N drop-in. No timing being pulled and runs BEAUTIFULLY!!! Cobb exhaust being delivered on Wednesday. Will be ordering the Cobb intake as soon as it releases.
Are you running the stock FMIC and Stage 2? Or did I read that wrong and you are running the Mountune FMIC?
Yes I have the Mountune FMIC and the DIY modded intake as my setup. Sorry if I was unclear
No worries, glad to hear it's running great!
I'm sure COBB's FMIC will be similar to most of the other aftermarket ones, so I don't see why anyone should expect any issues with Stage 2 ots map and that type of setup.

You need TWO, good and fast drivers, to capitalise on this opportunity for constructors points. Nico maybe good but you need a second driver of equal or better potential, and although Kazuki may be very nice and polite & hard working, i'm sure there are better, faster & just as hard working drivers out there.

Greetings all, Alex Malek here, PM for SharePoint Designer. I'm pleased to announce that today we released a CTP for version 1.1 of the "Visual Studio extensions for Windows SharePoint Services". You can download the CTP here: link. If you are not familiar with VSeWSS, this post should help. In a nutshell, VSeWSS is an add-on to Visual Studio that makes it easier to code-up solutions for SharePoint (e.g. Web Parts, List Definitions, Site Definitions, etc). With version 1.1 of VSeWSS, our main objective is to address the community feedback we got from the first release of VSeWSS, with a particular focus on giving developers "more control" 🙂
Note: This CTP is for evaluation only – it's not recommended for use in production systems.
What's New in VSeWSS 1.1?
- WSP View, aka "Solution Package editing"
- New Item Templates:
- "List Instance" project item
- "List Event Handler" project item
- "_layout file" project item
- Faster F5 speed
- Many bug fixes
WSP View
The main new feature for 1.1 is what we call "Solution Package editing". In version 1 of VSeWSS, when you are building an application, the tool is implicitly creating a .WSP file behind the scenes for you, which you can think of as a SharePoint "installer" file. When you hit F5/Debug, VSeWSS automatically installs this WSP solution package, as the mechanism for deploying the project files to the local SharePoint box. While this design has some nice benefits (e.g. VSeWSS doesn't have to hard-code knowledge about where to install files on SharePoint), we heard loud and clear from SharePoint developers that they wanted more control over the WSP that was being automatically generated for them. That's where the new "WSP View" comes into the picture. Using WSP View, you can now see the files and structure of the WSP Solution Package. You can also edit the WSP, changing what "Elements" live in what "Features", as well as editing the (previously hidden) solution .xml files, e.g. Feature.xml. To bring up WSP View, go to the View menu and choose "Other Windows/WSP View".
New Item Templates
In addition to WSP View, we've also added a few new item templates to VSeWSS. The most interesting one is the "List Event Handler" item template, which allows you to build an event handler for an existing SharePoint list definition (e.g. Shared Documents). You can find the new item templates in the "SharePoint" node of the "Add Item" dialog.
What's next?
We're aiming to release VSeWSS 1.1 by the end of the calendar year. That final release will also bring one new cool feature: VB support! For now, we'd love to hear what you think of the new v1.1 features, particularly WSP view. Feel free to communicate bugs via comments to this blog posting.
- Q: Can I rename a Feature using WSP View?
A: Yes, you can edit the Feature name by clicking twice on Feature node in the WSP View.
- Q: Does VSeWSS support Visual Studio 2008
A: No, VSeWSS only works with VS 2005.
- Q: Is there a way to create a new empty "Feature" in the WSP view?
A: Not in this CTP, however, we'll add this before we release the final version of VSeWSS 1.1.
- Q: When I add a Content Type to my application, nothing shows up in the Solution Explorer.
A: This is a bug in the CTP. Certain items are only editable via the WSP view. We will fix this our final release.
- Q: Why do my Feature folder names have GUIDs in them?
A: This is a bug that we plan to fix.
- Q: Does VSeWSS support Office SharePoint Server
A: Yes (only non-farm installs).
- Q: Does VSeWSS support Windows XP or "remote debugging"?
A: No, VSeWSS only works against local SharePoint installations, i.e. only on Win2k3.
- Q: What happened to the "SharePoint Solution" Tab in Project Properties from v1?
A: The WSP View is the new place for working with the SharePoint Solution Package. Instead of the property grid experience from v1, you can now directly get at the solution xml files.

Vishala is an amusement park that allows the visitor to experience the charm of an authentic Gujarati village within the city of Ahmedabad. It has the mud huts decorated with colours in Gujarati motifs and also the machaans. The air filled with the smell of lobaan or the burnt charcoal and the music of folk artists, performances of dancers and puppet shows, transports one's mind to the tranquil atmosphere of a village.

By Ian Walker
LONDON--Lloyds Banking Group PLC (LYG) said Tuesday the U.K. Government has lowered its shareholding in the bank to 5.70 billion shares, or 7.99% of its issued share capital.
The U.K. Government previously held 6.42 billion shares, or 8.99905%.
No price was disclosed for the share sale, which was conducted on Monday.
Lloyds, the U.K.'s biggest retail bank, was bailed out by U.K. taxpayers during the financial crisis, with the government taking a 39% stake. The government started selling its shares in the bank in late 2013.
Earlier this month, Treasury chief Philip Hammond said the government would begin to sell its 9.1% stake in Lloyds through a trading plan, withdrawing the planned retail sale. He blamed ongoing market volatility for pulling the planned retail offer.

Demonstration about Nothing
This demonstration was part of our workshop 'Means of Promotion' at the Estonian Academy of Arts, Tallinn. The workshop examined different strategies for being a parasite on existing media. We organized an unregistered demonstration with empty banners by the Liberty Clock monument in Tallinn. Estonian law requires a demonstration to be registered by the authoroties. We did not ask for such permission, thereby posing the question to the system whether or not this was an illegal action.

Lively cartoon strips introduce and illustrate each grammar point, showing how it changes in different circumstances. The grammar point is then explained more fully, with examples of usage, tables, basic, rules and exceptions. This information is reinforced by graded exercises.


text: Since it appears that my old camera has gone partially inop, I'm thinking of buying another. However I used the old one so little, that I didn't learn much that is of use in buying something else. I want one that is reliable as possible with a good warranty of a good name brand, at a price of ~$100. There are so many variables to consider, I don't know where to start. One thing lacking in my old camera is a release cable, because the camera doesn't have any provision for attaching it...does any digital camera? After only spending a couple of minutes scanning eBay returns, I came across this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nikon-CoolPix-S3500-SILVER-Digital-Camera-Extended-Warranty-Leather-Case-NEW-/350991451550?pt=Digital_Cameras&hash=item51b8b8859e but can I do better? EDIT: Another important factor for me is how to determine just how close the camera can be to the subject and focus properly? For instance, getting a clear shot of a small computer component.

Police are trying to trace the Ministry of Defence documents, which are believed to have been stolen.
The files went missing when a solicitor working for the Treasury Solicitor's Department travelled by train from Leeds to London on Monday morning.
It is believed the lawyer, from Eversheds, one of the UK's leading law firms, left the case in the carriage. When the train reached King's Cross the briefcase was gone and he called police.
Police are focusing investigations on Doncaster station, but it is not known whether it was a targeted theft.
Eversheds has done public-private partnership work for the MoD, including advising on the £300 million Aerial Target Service project. It also worked on an inquiry into the death of Iraqi civilian Baha Mousa, who died in the custody of British forces in 2003. The inquiry is due to begin on 13 July.
A spokesman for the Attorney General said: "Action is under wayto recover the papers."
It is another embarrassing loss of government records. A senior Whitehall official left highly-classified intelligence documents about al Qaeda and the Iraqi security forces on a train in October. A laptop holding the details of 600,000 people was taken from a Navy officer's car in January last year, and in November 2007 two CDs with data on 25 million people were lost after being sent in the mail.

This is a great opportunity for dental students who want to add hands-on experience to their training while assisting professional dentists on treatments.
About the Program
You will have the opportunity to work with Our Generation Voluntary Organisation's (OGVO) dental elective internship programs in Ghana. Participants will be able to choose between working in cities or villages while assisting professional dentists. This is a great opportunity for dental students who want to add hands-on experience to their training. First and second year dental students will shadow doctors and help with basic tasks. Third and fourth year students will have the opportunity to do hands-on tasks like extractions, fillings and scaling, depending on interest and skill. This program is designed for those who want to excel in their field and who want to experience dental work in rural or urban settings.
Program participants must be in the dental field in order to qualify for this internship placement. You may encounter situations that are not common to your home country and you will also experience different methods of treatment. This will add to your wealth of experience and make you a standout candidate in your future career. You can opt to intern/volunteer with one of the hospitals or clinics in Kumasi or in the semi-rural Akuapim Togo Mountains. Patients often travel great distances to be able to go to the hospital for treatment.
Usual working days go from 8:00 AM - 4:00 PM and will include the following activities.
This program is available all year round, so volunteers or interns can arrive any day of the week or any month of the year with advance notice!
During weekends Volunteers/Interns have the opportunity to visit all that Ghana has to offer. Weekend trips available include visits to Mole National Park in the Northern Region of Ghana. This National Park offers a great Safari-like experience and is one of the biggest Elephant Sanctuaries in Africa with the chance to spot Lions, Leopards & Antelopes in their natural habitat.
Volunteers can also take a trip to Cape Coast in the Central Region of Ghana to relax in the beautiful beaches and see the famous Cape Coast castle, the Kakum Canopy walkway and Elmina castle, where slave trade begun.
NOTE: We do not provide tours, however you can add a tour before or after your volunteer program for an additional cost. We can perform quality tours and can offer discounts to volunteers.

Potential photographic highlights
The most awesome wildlife experience on Earth? This is it! Serengeti and the adjacent, and almost equally famous, Ngorongoro Crater are so remarkable that one cannot do justice to this incredible place in words alone. Over two million large mammals live in this immense African wilderness that has miraculously survived, thanks to the remarkable understanding of the people of Tanzania, who despite all the pressures upon them have kept faith with the vision of the park's founders. These vast herds still circulate across the Serengeti in the same way as they did when Man's earliest ancestor's walked these very plains, followed by their attendant carnivores in a cycle of life that has continued unbroken for millions of years. How incredible that we can still say this about any place on Earth at the beginning of the 21st century, when so much of our planet has been changed out of all recognition! We will explore this amazing area in Landrovers that have been specially adapted for safari work, and are ideal for photographers with their large roof hatches.
Important: The huge gathering of gnus (wildebeeste), zebras and carnivores on the shortgrass plains of the southeastern Serengeti only occurs between January-April each year. This is absolutely the time to visit the area. There is simply no comparison with the other months of the year.
Day 1 The tour starts in the morning at Kilimanjaro airport, from where we will drive the short distance to Arusha for lunch and then continue westwards through Northern Tanzania until we reach the Great Rift Valley and Lake Manyara, where we stay overnight.
Day 2 We will have the whole morning to explore Lake Manyara National Park. We will spend some time here enjoying the waterbird spectacle, for there are often thousands and thousands of waterbirds present, with good opportunities to photograph some species such as Greater Flamingos, Pink-backed Pelicans, the colourful Saddle-billed Stork and Yellow-billed Stork. On the nearby meadows there are often herds of Cape Buffalo and African Elephants, which can provide excellent photographic opportunities. After lunch we'll head into the Crater Highlands until we reach the wonderful Ngorongoro Crater itself for a four nights stay.
Days 3-5 The beautifully-constructed game lodge where we will stay is carefully built into the rim of the crater and offers amazing views. Gazing down from the observation areas, one can see the entire crater laid out below one like a map, and even make out distant elephants, rhinos and herds of antelopes and buffalos! The Ngorongoro Crater is one of the scenic wonders of the world. The immense caldera is over 16 kilometres across, covers over 260 square kilometres and is over 600m deep! Some 30,000 large mammals are resident in the area and they can be seen speckling the grasslands from the crater rim.
Each day, we shall descend from the rim by way of the rough mountain road. Early in the morning there is often a sea of mist covering the crater floor, with just the rim catching the first rays of the sun – an incredibly beautiful sight. And down there, below that cotton wool blanket, so much wonder awaits us! The commonest and most conspicuous large mammals are Brindled Gnu, Common Zebra, Grant's and Red-fronted (or Thomson's) Gazelles, the ungainly but amusing Common Warthog, African Buffalo and African Elephant, indeed most of these are hard to get away from as big herds of zebras, gnus, gazelles and buffalos are constantly meandering across the crater floor as they feast on the bountiful grass of the long rains. Ngorongoro is one of the most reliable places in the world for seeing the endangered Black (or Browse) Rhinoceros, mainly because they have nowhere they can easily hide (and neither do poachers!), and we shall enjoy some marvellous views of these magnificent leviathans, hopefully at close range. The crater also has a high predator population. Spotted Hyaenas and Black-backed Jackals are quite common, whilst the local Lions are often both approachable and highly photogenic.
Towards the southern end of the crater is Lake Magadi, a shallow soda lake with glistening salt flats at its periphery. Here, thousands of Greater and Lesser Flamingoes slowly sift for brine shrimps in the shallow water and the lake's margins provide a resting place for flocks of White Storks and other wetland species such as the lovely Grey Crowned Crane. Other photogenic species we may encounter here include the huge Kori Bustard (often to be seen in full display). For the photographer, the crater is a true paradise, for not only are both mammals and large birds very used to vehicles and people, allowing amazingly close approach (almost touching distance at times, which creates quite an impression!), but the wonderful skyscapes and the constantly moving shadows of the clouds on the dappled crater walls produce an incomparable backdrop. No wonder so many of the world's greatest wildlife photographs and films have been made here!
Day 6 Today we will drop down from the Crater Highlands into the shortgrass plains that form the western part of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. This is Masai country and from time to time we will encounter these proud cattle herders with their traditional red cloaks and spears (and no doubt some of the young men who nowadays like to dress up and pose for photographs – in return for a consideration!). If the great herds have already moved into the southeastern extremity of the area, following the progress of the rain, we could be treated to a first incredible introduction to the Serengeti plains. We will make a stop at the famous Olduvai Gorge, where the Leakey family have discovered so much about our earliest ancestors. We will then make our way to the south-central section of the park for a three nights stay at a comfortable game lodge. At this season the cloudscapes are often dramatic, making for some incredibly beautiful sunsets.
Days 7-8 At Seronera, location of the park headquarters, one of the kopjes has an educational boardwalk snaking amongst the boulders and trees, complete with interesting and unusual metal sculptures of Serengeti creatures. It is a great place for a walk, with many tame birds and Yellow-spotted Hyraxes to photograph.
From a mammal viewpoint, our time inside Serengeti National Park may well be comparatively quiet compared with our stay to come at Ndutu, as the large herds tend to avoid the tallgrass areas until the shortgrass plains are grazed to the limit. However, this is by far the best area in the Serengeti to look for Leopard and, with patient searching, we should be rewarded with great views of one or more individuals resting in a tree in the thin gallery woodland along one of the rivers. There is something special about Leopards – maybe it is those cold eyes looking at one, or those beautiful spots, or that feline grace mixed with sheer power, or how elusive they are compared with the diurnal large cats.
We may also come across a group of Banded Mongooses living in a termite mound and watch both Wild Cat and the beautiful, lanky Serval Cat stealthily stalking through the grass, while antelopes in this area include Bohor Reedbuck, Kongoni and the even more awkward-looking Topi. Small lakes and pools in the area are home to groups of Hippopotamus and we shall enjoy spending some time photographing these huge animals watching us, waggling their ears or rearing up and opening those huge mouths.
Day 9 After a final morning inside Serengeti National Park, we will make our way east. As we leave the long grass plains and head towards the shortgrass plains, we'll pass a landscape peppered with acacias and punctuated by hills and kopjes of huge rounded granitic boulders. Here mammal densities will increase. Eventually we will reach Nthe Lake Ndutu area, where we will stay for the next four nights at a comfortable lodge. After dinner one can sit around the campfire and chat away under a crystal clear African sky ablaze with stars.
Days 10-12 Lake Ndutu is situated right on the border between the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and Serengeti National Park. At this season the Ndutu area is often the most exciting place in the Serengeti. Over one million grazing mammals stream into the shortgrass plains after the onset of the rains in November, occurring at a density of many thousand per square kilometre, or even tens of thousands! In places the plains are largely empty, but in places they literally seethe with mammals – mainly Brindled Gnu, but also huge numbers of Common Zebras and Red-fronted Gazelles. We should enjoy some amazing experiences here as our vehicles drive right amongst these vast gatherings of large animals until we are completely surrounded and look out over a sea of large mammals that may stretch away to the horizon – a truly incredible sight. Predators are of course attracted to such a wealth of potential food and we should encounter Lions, perhaps a whole pride trotting along on the edge of a herd, which will part to let them through, or lolling around with full bellies like huge domestic cats. Ungainly but powerful Spotted Hyaenas, less lovely but curiously impressive nonetheless, will also be seen regularly, and both they and the Lions typically allow one to get amazingly close. Here also, feeding on carrion or small mammals, are Common Jackals and delightful Bat-eared Foxes. There are plenty of photogenic birds too such as Ostriches striding across the plains, flamingos on Lake Ndutu, the impressive Verreaux's Eagle-Owl and Yellow-billed Oxpeckers hitching rides on the animals, while out on the shortgrass plains we should find interesting subjects such as the bizarre-looking Secretary Bird and Chestnut-bellied Sandgrouse and Yellow-throated Sandgrouse, and we may even come across a group of vultures squabbling over a kill. At night, tame Common Genets come right into the dining room, sitting on the roof beams and waiting for a handout, or scampering around the floor as if they were pets.
One of the best of all our experiences in this fantastic place will be a hunt for the glory of the Serengeti plains, the incomparable Cheetah. For the best chance of success we will set off early and drive far from the nearest road. Here the grass is long enough to give some cover to predators, but not much. By careful scanning we should locate Cheetahs hunting in this area and we may be privileged to spend some time with them, perhaps watching them stalking gazelles or even witnessing a kill. These graceful animals are quite fearless of vehicles and so we may enjoy some extraordinary close encounters and with a bit of luck we will be entirely alone as we follow these marvellous creatures across their ancestral lands.
The rolling landscapes and beautiful skies of Serengeti make for great scenery, and we should be able to find mammals and birds in wonderful situations, with backdrops of the hills or the skyline. Here we may watch Giraffes striding out across the wide valleys as they make their way between the wooded ridges, see heavy, cattle-like Eland thundering along at unlikely speeds, observe lines of Brindled Gnus making their way, who knows where, smile as a Cheetah tries unsuccessfully to hide from the Red-fronted Gazelles and wonder how Klipspringers have managed to climb right up on top of Nasera Rock.
Day 13 Today we will make the return journey to Kilimanjaro airport where the tour ends early this evening.
Accommodation & Road Transport: The lodges are of a good or very good standard throughout and are often wonderfully situated. Road transport is by Landrover or Toyota 4x4 and main roads are mostly good or reasonable (but there are also plenty of rough tracks in the sanctuaries and some 'off-road' driving). We will have a maximum of six photographers in the vehicle, sharing seven seats and a large roof hatch.
Walking etc: The walking effort is easy throughout. Walking is restricted to a few specified areas in the national parks/game reserves. This is of little hindrance and indeed we can approach many large birds and mammals far more closely in a vehicle than we could on foot.
Climate: Most days will be warm or hot, dry and sunny, but overcast conditions are fairly frequent and there may well be some rain. At higher altitudes temperatures are cool to warm.

Guwahati, Jul 1 (UNI) The Assam government will launch a mobile telephony network for health workers for reaching out to the pregnant women for neo-natal care.
The facility in the state, after Andhra Pradesh and Gujarat, will be launched on July 8 in presence of Union Health Minister Anbumani Ramdoss.
''This will be a mobile network where from me to the mid wife, everyone will be on a same network and there shall be no billing in the intra-network telephony. So a mid-wife can reach a doctor, para-medics using the system without any tariff'', said Assam Health Minister Dr Himanta Biswa Sarma.
These mobile phones would be given largely to the mid-wives and would be in a single series, said Dr Sarma.
The service provider will be the BSNL and the health department is expected to spend around Rs 14 lakh per month for the scheme.
The government was making an effort to tie up with the Emergency Medical Research Institute(EMRI) of the Satyam Group to implement the project.

Traced back to the times of Indus Valley Civilization, literally meaning 'a strip of cloth', a saree is an ever-enchanting, bewitching stretch of unstitched fabric that mystically transforms into ethereally elegant attire, when draped on a female form.
Equated with grace and feminism, in South East Asian cultures since ages, a saree effortlessly lifts the sensuousness and style quotient of any woman, carrying it well.
Saree or Sari has a long history, sometimes even dating back to 100 BC. The multitude of varieties, colors, patterns, styling details, textures, fabrics available in sarees make them absolutely fascinating outfits. Sarees/ Saris, as we know of them in contemporary form, are typically 6 yards (5.5 metres) in length and about 4 feet in breadth.
The Maharastrian Navvari (about 8 meters), the South Indian half saree (3.5-4 meters), the Andhra Nivi, the Assamese Mekhala Chador, many Tribal styles, Kerala's Mundum Neryathum, Goa's Kunbis are various traditional styles of saree draping – the saree length and the fabric type/s vary in such sarees drapes and styles.
A saree is typically worn with a form-fitting bodice, called as blouse or choli, cropped at the waist, and an under-skirt/ skirt called as petticoat, ghagra, chaniya etc. Most traditional sarees have ornate or embellished borders running through their length. Besides enhancing the saree's appeal, the borders also keep the saree's fall and drape in-place.
In contemporary and most popular draping style, one end of the saree is tucked into the waist band of the petticoat, the saree is wrapped and pleats are formed. The other lose end – the Pallu – is draped over the shoulders, such that it falls at the back.
Sarees have ornate and embellished Pallus in weaves like Ikat, Patola, Banarasi, Brocade, Kanjivaram etc. The Pallus are often the focal point of sarees, and thus, have many design elements.
The modern-day Saree
Today, sarees are available in an unbelievably expansive and wide range of fabrics, weaves, colors, styles and more. From cottons to crepes, silks, nets, linens, cotton-silk blends, georgettes, chiffons and many more, the fabric base of saree can be played with vastly.
Red sarees are generally held as suitable for special and sacred occasions. Red and white Panetar sarees and the green and red Gharchola sarees are the typical wedding attire for brides from the Indian states of Gujarat and Rajasthan. Similarly, a South Indian bride's look is incomplete without rich Kanjeevaram saris, and a North Indian bride will invariably have an ornate, glistening Benarsai/ Banarasi and brocade in her trousseau. In Kerala, the brides wear white sarees with gold borders for special rituals, while green sarees are held as sacred in many other traditions.
Besides being an integral part of the special occasions and festivities in India, Sarees are also women's best friends in corporates and work-places. There is a huge range of casual-wear, office-wear sarees and regular wear sarees available today, which any smart women can pick to take her work wardrobe up by notches.
At saree.com, you can also get hundreds of styles in net sarees, trendy half and half sarees, lehenga sarees, party-wear sarees, reception and wedding sarees – in all sorts of lovely colors and embroideries.

Varieties of Sarees
There is a huge variety of sarees available these days in market. At Saree.com too, you will find an endless range of enticing sarees in various fabrics, weaves, finishes, designs and more. From heavy woven silks to embroidered sarees, heavily embellished ones, ready to wear sarees, lehenga sarees and designer sarees – there's an immense range of choice available.
Sarees are generally divided in types, basis the fabrics and occasions they are crafted for. Here's an exhaustive list of various types of Indian sarees -
Cotton Sarees
One of the most comfortable and breathable fabrics, cottons are used all over the world. In India, cotton are very important, as they are very suitable for the hot and sweaty weather. Since cottons are thicker, they also drape well. Varieties of cotton weaves and fabrics are employed nowadays to craft stylish and trendy cotton sarees in various designs and colors. Although, cotton sarees are worn mostly as casual sarees and office wear sarees, designers and weavers are also coming up with designer cotton sarees that are worn on special occasions too. Cotton sarees have a simple, understated charm, and they look very elegant, when draped well. Suited for summers, these sarees are excellent for skinny and slim women, as they add an illusion of girth. Buy cotton sarees online to score a stylish and chic look that's bohemian and a class apart. Pair your cotton sarees with wonderful cloth bags and stylish sandals or designer juttis (with heels).
Silk Sarees
Silk sarees are a favorite of Indian women. They look wonderful –at all times, and are great for all sorts of occasions and needs. Silk sarees are also made in a variety of designs, patterns and fabric thicknesses/ weaves. Silk is thicker and denser, so it's more suitable for colder climates and winters. They suit most body types. Printed silks work well as office wear and corporate wear sarees. Heavier silk weaves like Banarasi sarees and kanchipuram sarees are great as wedding sarees and bridal sarees. South Silk Sarees with borders are excellent for special occasions and festivals like Diwali, Eid etc. These often are traditional sarees chosen for weddings in India. Many Indian women prefer wearing silk sarees – the ultimate style and status symbol – to most important functions, meetings and occasions.
Cotton-Silk Blend Sarees
One of the finest and most resilient fabric blends, cotton and silk blend is very popular in the saree manufacturing industry and among weavers. Silk, albeit lustrous, is softer and has a lower tensile strength. Cotton, on the other hand, is stronger but coarser and luster-less. So, a blend of two has a perfect balance of both aspects. These blended sarees work well in both ways – as casual sarees as well as party-wear sarees. They can be styled in numerous ways, and can be worn by women of all body types.
Chiffon sarees and Crepe Sarees
Pure chiffon and crepe fabrics actually are variants made from silk yarn only. Highly twisted yarns of pure silk woven in different ways produce these two fabrics. These days art varieties i.e. blend of synthetic fibers with silk is very commonly used to produce these two saree types. Such sarees are also lower in price, and are stronger. Sarees of these two types – chiffon sarees and crepe sarees – drape and fall very well, thereby giving a slim and elegant appearance. Pure chiffon and crepe fabrics are breezy, and can be worn in summers and hot weather, especially the chiffon saree – which is the typical summer saree, given its thin, transparent and matt feel. Crepe sarees are slightly heavier and lustrous, and make for perfect party-wear and reception-wear sarees. Chiffon sarees are considered very sensuous, and are often seen on Bollywood heroines in movies. Ladies with excellent figures look great in form-hugging chiffon sarees, while the ones looking to appear slimmer should actually choose crepe sarees. Art chiffon sarees and synthetic crepe sarees are stronger, and take on embellishments beautifully. That's why they are used amply in creating embroidered wedding and bridal sarees too.
Georgette Sarees
Pure georgette is another coarser and matt variant of fabric, crafted from silk yarn. Much like chiffon, it is made by twisting yarn, during the fabric manufacturing process. Along with real georgette, these days, art georgette and faux georgette, made from synthetic blends is also very popular. Georgette sarees are every woman's best friend, as this fabric takes the shape of the body, and suits almost all body types wonderfully well. Due to georgette's bouncy feel, it is also an excellent fabric for lehengas, lehenga sarees, gowns and silhouettes with flare. These sarees also lend a slimmer look, and can be worn in all seasons, including summers. You can wear a plain georgette saree to work, one with interesting borders to important meetings and parties and heavily embellished ones to weddings and social functions. Much like silk, georgette sarees are also classic and timeless in appeal.
Fancy Sarees
Keeping in tune with the latest trends and preferences, sarees are crafted in tonnes of fabrics, styles and designs. Sarees worn for special occasions are known as fancy sarees. These sarees can be heavy traditional ones, or the ones with designer elements like embroideries, embellishments, borders, half and half styling and more. Such sarees are made in many different and even novel fabrics like art silks, art georgettes, lace material, types of nets, tulle, velvets, satins, viscose and even lycra! While many wear the fancy sarees for weddings and parties, some modern brides also choose grand fancy sarees as their bridal sarees. At Saree.com, you will come across a stunning variety of chic and trendy fancy sarees that will help you look a class apart. You must pair these sarees with stylish blouses in attractive necklines and cuts and modish accessories like statement rings, big tote bags, gorgeous jewels – to complete your look.

The words "athlete", "off-season" and "DUI" are frequently found in the same sentence and it isn't germane to any particular sport.
The latest contestant is Todd Helton of the Colorado Rockies. Helton was arrested Wednesday morning for drunken driving, according to ESPN, and was kind enough to provide some comic relief by way of his mugshot. He may be the first person in history to pass out while taking a mugshot.
The five-time All-Star was arrested about 2:30 a.m. Wednesday in the Denver suburb of Thornton and charged with drunken driving and careless driving.
In a statement released by the Rockies, Helton said he's embarrassed and apologized to his family, the team and the community.
"Last evening I exercised poor judgment and was charged with drinking and driving after driving to a gas station near my house," Helton said in a statement released through the team. "I am very sorry and embarrassed by my actions. I hold myself to a high standard and take my responsibility as a public figure very seriously. My entire career I have worked to set a positive example for my family and in our community and I fell far short of this standard.
"I sincerely ask my family, the Colorado Rockies organization, Major League Baseball and the community to accept my apology. I make no excuses and accept full responsibility for my actions. I humbly ask your forgiveness."

Couples will be asked to sign up as organ donors before they walk down the aisle under Government plans.
They will be prompted to register as donors each time they log on to a state website giving information to people getting married.
Millions of Londoners will also be steered towards the NHS organ donor pages in another move to boost numbers.
Cabinet Office minister Grant Shapps has struck a deal with Transport for London and Mayor Boris Johnson so that recruitment ads for donors are flashed up to people looking up travel information or checking their Oyster cards.
People applying for TV licences and bus passes or paying utility bills will also be asked to give permission for their kidneys, eyes, hearts and other organs to be given away if they die. Three people each day die waiting for a transplant in the UK, and the minister said: "It's clear that we need to do more to get people on the organ donor register so we can save more lives."
The TfL deal means one of the most popular websites in the UK will be targeting users.
The idea comes from the so-called "nudge unit" in the Cabinet Office which was set up to devise ways of changing the way people behave without passing new laws or creating red tape.
Some 600,000 people signed up after prompts were displayed when they renewed their road tax or applied for a driving licence online.
About 10,000 Britons are waiting for transplants but donor numbers are too low. By contrast, some US states have almost twice as many donors as the UK, with 60 per cent signed up.Reuse content

Spain midfielder Cesc Fabregas is tired of complaints that he cannot reproduce his club form when playing for the national side.
"It doesn't upset me, but people are always saying the same thing about me," the Arsenal playmaker told a news conference at the Spain training base on Saturday.
"I'm only 21. I'm trying to do my best and I have talked to the boss about it, but reading the same thing every day isn't very nice. I'm just here to do my best."
Red hit: Fabregas has played a pivotal role for Arsenal
Fabregas has played a pivotal role at Arsenal in recent seasons, marshalling the midfield with a maturity beyond his years and weighing in with some crucial goals when he ventures into attack.
He scored 13 goals for the Premier League club in all competitions last season, but has yet to open his account for Spain after 26 appearances for the national side.
"You have to analyse the way we play for the national team," he said midfielder.
"At Arsenal there is only one channel between the defence and attack and that is me, so I'm involved in practically all the attacks, but here there are more variations, more ways of attacking.
"It's is up to me to adapt, but after over two years with the national team in think I've done pretty well. Good players have to be able to adapt to any type of football.
"At Arsenal I had a period when even if I stubbed it with my big toe it went in. I don't only think about scoring goals but creating them. Why think negative when I can think positive."
Fabregas also dismissed suggestions from the Spanish media that he finds it difficult to play alongside Xavi in the midfield.
"I feel comfortable with all my team mates. Xavi is used to the Barca system and he has been outstanding. For me, it is great to play alongside him and the other players we have in midfield. The more quality we have in the team the better."
Asked if he was upset about the likelihood of starting on the bench for Spain's opening match in Group D against Russia on Tuesday, the midfielder replied: "It won't be a blow, I'm just here to help the team."
Spain go on to face Sweden and holders Greece in their bid to reach the last eight.

Description: Athens' democracy developed during the sixth and fifth centuries and continued into the fourth; Athens' defeat by Macedon in 322 began a series of alternations between democracy and oligarchy. The democracy was inseparably bound up with the ideals of liberty and equality, the rule of law, and the direct government of the people by the people. Liberty means above all freedom of speech, the right to be heard in the public assembly and the right to speak one's mind in private. Equality meant the equal right of male citizens (perhaps 60,000 in the fifth century, 30,000 in the fourth) to participate in the government of the state and the administration of the law. Disapproved of as a mob rule until the nineteenth century, the institutions of Athenian democracy have become an inspiration for modern democratic politics and political philosophy. P. J. Rhodes's reader focuses on the political institutions, political activity, history, and nature of Athenian democracy and introduces some of the best British, American, German, and French scholarship on its origins, theory, and practice. Part I is devoted to political institutions: citizenship, the assembly, the law-courts, and capital punishment. Part II explores aspects of political activity: the demagogues and their relationship with the assembly, the maneuverings of the politicians, competitive festivals, and the separation of public from private life. Part III looks at three crucial points in the development of the democracy: the reforms of Solon, Cleisthenes, and Ephialtes. Part IV considers what it was in Greek life that led to the development of democracy. Some of the authors adopt broad-brush approaches to major questions; others analyze a particular body of evidence in detail. Use is made of archeology, comparison with other societies, the location of festivals in their civic context, and the need to penetrate behind what the classical Athenians made of their past.

Uber Exclusive South Beach Party, Bro
The Ed Hardy T-shirt. Nothing is a bigger symbol of douchebaggery in clubland than it. It's a faux-tattoo armor for those too wimpy to get real ones. Bedazzled and they achieve a whole another level of douchiness. Oh, and if you're wearing Affliction you have two strikes against you: you're poor and you're a douchebag. In a what-took-us-so-long moment, Vagabond's Thursday night party (((Shake))) pays tribute to the eyesore with its "Uber Exclusive VIP Halloween" party. Partygoers are encouraged to don Ed Hardy gear in order to gain free entry this Thursday. Girls, you aren't being left out either. Make sure your ass tells everyone how "Juicy" it is by wearing your favorite Juicy Couture clothing. But there's more: possibly fictional DJs Danner Von Martenberg (Berlin), Aaron T (back from Ibiza), and Diesto (Tiesto's brother) are all on the bill. Bottle service with pretty sparklers will be poppin' all night, God willing somebody drops five grand for a table. We wonder how many South Beach patrons will accidentally make a detour to Vagabond and think they fit right in. Yep, douchebags.

The king bird-of-paradise (Cicinnurus regius) is a passerine bird of the Paradisaeidae (Bird-of-paradise) family.
The king bird-of-paradise is distributed throughout lowland forests of New Guinea and nearby islands. The diet consists mainly of fruits and arthropods.
An extraordinary courtship display is performed by the male with a series of tail swinging, fluffing of the white abdominal feathers that makes the bird look like a cottonball, and acrobatic movements of their elongated tail wires.
Widespread and a common species throughout their large habitat range, the king bird-of-paradise is evaluated as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. It is listed on Appendix II of CITES.
The first captive breeding of this species was by Dr. Sten Bergman of Sweden in 1958. He was awarded a commemorative medal by the Foreign Bird League to mark this achievement.

Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science, Chicago Medical School, North Chicago, IL
Sarcoidosis is a multisystem granulomatous disease of unknown etiology. Symptomatic cardiac involvement is present in up to 5% of patients, mostly as heart blocks.1 Massive pericardial effusion leading to cardiac tamponade is extremely rare. Only 2 cases of cardiac tamponade as a presenting symptom of sarcoidosis were reported in the literature.2,3.
A 32 year old African American obese male presented to the hospital with insidious onset of dyspnea over 6 week period. He denied fever, chills, cough, hemoptysis, weight loss. Past medical, social and family history was non-contributory. There was no tuberculosis exposure. His PPD was negative. Physical examination revealed a well-developed man in mild respiratory distress with blood pressure of 105/60. He was afebrile with respiratory rate of 24 breaths per minute. Jugular venous distention, distant heart sounds and pulsus paradoxus were present. EKG showed electrical alternans. CBC and chemistry were normal. Chest X-ray revealed massive cardiomegaly with mediastinal adenopathy (Figure 1). Transthoracic echocardiogram was positive for massive pericardial effusion with right ventricular and left atrial collapse in diastole. Pericardiocentesis drained 1500 cc of bloody exudative fluid. CT-guided pericardial biopsy was negative for AFB and malignancy. Biopsy of mediastinal lymph nodes by anterior mediastinoscopy showed granulomatous disease and ACE level was 63. Extensive work up with AFB cultures and multiple viral, fungal and HIV serologies remained negative. Patient remained asymptomatic over next 14 months without any treatment. He then presented with a month long gradual onset of dyspnea, cough and blood-tinged sputum. He denied fever, chills or weight loss. He was afebrile with normal physical exam. Chest X-ray and CT scan showed extensive right lung infiltrate with enlarged mediastinal lymph nodes (Figure 2). ACE level was 101. Bronchoscopic transbronchial biopsy revealed multiple non-caseating granulomas. Patient was started on Prednisone 80 mg daily with complete resolution of symptoms and radiological findings as well as a drop of ACE level to 29 after 2 months.
The usual clinical features of cardiac sarcoidosis, in order of decreasing frequency, are complete heart block, ventricular irritability, congestive heart failure, sudden death, first-degree heart block or bundle branch block, supraventricular arrhythmias, mitral valve dysfunction and pericarditis.1 Prevalence of asymptomatic small pericardial effusion in diagnosed cases of sarcoidosis is 19% to 21% detected by echocardiography.4 Sarcoidosis involves the inflammation of both visceral and parietal pericardium, resulting in gross thickening of the pericardium and accumulation of pericardial fluid.1 Pathologically, tiny nodules may be seen in a patchy distribution which may explain the presence of a negative pericardial biopsy in our patient.Massive effusions are rare, with only about 10 cases found in the literature.1-3 Effusion may be secondary to systemic or pericardial disease, cor pulmonale, pericardial granuloma or left ventricular dysfunction.2 The previous documentation of pulmonary involvement helps to establish the diagnosis. Steroids have been the mainstay of medical treatment of sarcoidosis, including pericardial effusions, but it is difficult to assess its role in treating pericardial effusions. Most patients with cardiac tamponade due to sarcoidosis were placed on steroids but the control of their pericardial effusion required surgical intervention.1-3.
Cardiac tamponade is a rare manifestation of sarcoidosis. Our case stands out since it is the third documented case in literature of cardiac tamponade as the presenting feature of sarcoidosis.

The night before Ben Verwaayen presents BT's annualresults on Thursday, the Dutchman's favourite team, Arsenal, play Barcelona in the Champions' League final. BT's chief executive faces a challenge every bit as big as the Gunners'. The last vestiges of BT's once-mighty monopoly are being eroded by new technologies and new competitors. Last autumn, after months of wrangling with the regulator, Ofcom, it agreed to create Openreach, a heavily regulated divisionthat gives competitors greater access to the last mile of BT's network. This allows them to pump better and cheaper services directly into people's homes.
BT, for so long a monopoly, now finds itself competing on multiple fronts: broadband, fixed-line phones, television over the internet (known as IPTV), phone calls over the internet (VoIP) and even mobile phones. Its only hope of survival is to establish new services quickly enough to replace its shrinking revenues from these legacy businesses. So will BT's Dutch revolution work?
Two thirds of BT's sales come from dial-up internet access and fixed-line telephones. As more competitors enter the market and new technologies emerge, these will keep shrinking. By the end of last year, BT's share of the fixed-line voice market stood at 58 per cent, compared to 63 per cent the year before and 69 per cent in 2003. BT reported earlier this year that for the third quarter, revenues from these services were 8 per cent below where they were a year earlier. It had only 750,000 dial-up internet customers left last December.
"The whole game for BT is to diversify away from traditional telephony and into new-wave technologies," says Sam Morton of Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein (DKW). These services include broadband. BT was selling broadband wholesale to just under 7 million customers in December last year. It was also retailing its own broadband to 2.3 million customers, around a quarter of the market.
But the scope for more growth in broadband is limited. A third of the population already has it, and margins are getting tighter - Carphone Warehouse recently threw down the gauntlet, offering its TalkTalk fixed line customers free broadband.
This market is also threatened by local loop unbundling (LLU). For years, rivals have complained that they have been denied access to BT's network. Openreach is designed to prevent this. Its engineers must unbundle the local loops, or last mile, of BT's network, allowing competitors to install their own kit in BT's exchanges. By the end of June, BT is also supposed to have upgraded its entire network. Rivals are preparing to unleash dozens of new voice and broadband products on to the market once this happens (Though some in the industry doubt that BT can meet this deadline).
To combat these threats, BT is also pushing new technology, such as BT Fusion. BT Fusion is an "intelligent mobile" which acts as a mobile outside the home, but routes calls via a broadband box, at a much lower tariff, inside the home. But BT Fusion customers must still have a BT line - and pay the £10 monthly rental fee - and it operates on only one network (Vodafone) and one handset manufacturer (Motorola). The company is adding about 2,000 customers a week to its BT Fusion service. Stuart Gordon from ABN Amro says that, it is not the answer. "There is no real proof or clarity on how successful they will be in replacing the falling revenue of its legacy business," Mr Gordon says. "As an incumbent, it has to maintain its market share by moving customers to new products, and I don't think that BT is showing that just now."
The other big hope for BT is television over the internet (IPTV). BT plans to launch its own service, BT TV, in the autumn for its broadband customers. If it works, it will reduce churn and increase revenues by charging for content. But BT TV presents a huge technical challenge, as the box will have to be able to stream live television as well as downloaded content, while the network will have to have the capacity to deliver this.
Scott Morrison, the research director at technology consultancy Gartner, says for BT TV to be attractive to customers, it must offer unique content. BT has already signed deals with Paramount, Warner Music, the BBC and Big Brother producers Endemol, but it faces stiff competition in the IPTV market from content-rich Sky, which will launch its television on the internet service with Easynet in the summer. "BT TV is not going fast enough or far enough in terms of offering unique content," says Mr Morrison.
BT's best chance of success in these new markets is to move quickly, he argues. "If it can sign up enough customers to its VoIP and BT TV services early enough, it will create a barrier to entry for other companies." But so far, this is not happening. A recent report from Continental Research found that BT has just 6 per cent of the tiny (but potentially huge) VoIP market in the UK, behind Skype (with almost half) and Microsoft, with a fifth.
Such doubts have raised the spectre of a private-equity consortium buying the company. BT's high cash flows (£5bn revenue last quarter) and its network, which could be used as collateral to raise loans, are attractive for buyout firms.
But DKW's Mr Morton says: "BT is a difficult asset. It doesn't have a break-up angle." Analysts say its revenues from old businesses are declining, and the new-wave revenues are unpredictable, making a highly leveraged bid risky.
Mr Verwaayen knows that if his revolution does not start bearing fruit soon, shareholders' loyalty to management will waver. And at BT, he doesn't even have Thierry Henry on his side.
Five issues to worry Ben Verwaayen
Fixed line decline: BT's traditional business of handling fixed-line voice calls is evaporating and will ultimately disappear. In the past two years, the former monopoly has seen its share of the market drop from 69 per cent to 53 per cent. Cheap phone calls over the internet (VoIP) cut further into the business and the growing primacy of the mobile phone means some people cut off their fixed-line services altogether.
Local Loop Unbundling (LLU): This process, mandated by Ofcom, obliged BT's chief executive, Ben Verwaayen to open the company's "last mile"to competitors such as Easynet and Bulldog, allowing them to offer their own upgraded broadband and voice services directly to customers in competition to BT.
Pension Gap: BT's pension deficit, though reducing, stands at £1.8bn. The Government issued a "crown guarantee" when BT was privatised in 1984, which is understood to mean that if the group goes bust it will cover up to 75 per cent of its pension liabilities. The clarification of the scope of the pension deficit could stimulate private equity interest in BT.
Television over the internet (IPTV): Analysts hail this as the big hope for BT. It aims to launch BT TV this autumn for its broadband customers, allowing viewers to watch streamed channels as well as downloaded content. But it faces stiff competition from the likes of BSkyB, soon to launch its own IPTV service.
Regulation: Despite setting up Openreach and quickening the pace of LLU, BT still faces regulation by Ofcom it sees as unfair. This was put in place when BT was still a monopoly.
