"What! A Bikini?!!" That's what one normally expects to hear from an average Indian (men and women). Modern India and much of South Asia have very conservative views about sex and sensuality. Sex is mostly considered a taboo subject (even though it is one of the most searched terms in the Indian subcontinent). Sex education is rarely given in Indian schools and parents draw confused faces when questioned on the subject by their children.
But in Bollywood, the rules are slightly different and exceptions pretty much prove the rule. Whether it is flaunting hot bodies or an artistic approach to lines and curves, showing off one's body is a different question altogether. However, there's not much room for voluptuous curves full of fat in the bikini which makes it a clear judge of hotness and perfection. It stays niche, kept aside for the toned and tight; chiefly, star actresses who work hard to maintain a divine set of assets, top to bottom, and can gracefully carry themselves out. If you can look good in a bikini, you are hot. Period.
Before we discuss the list, some background is essential so that you know where we are coming from.
The History of Sex in India – Khajurao and Kamasutra
India's ancient traditions in regard to sex and sensuality have been so liberal and 'modern', you might be amazed. The famous Khajurao temples, which were built in the 10th and 11th century AD, are known for their erotic sculptures. The sculpture on these temples depict medieval people in erotic postures. Why did the kings of that era create such temples? Didn't it go against our religious and spiritual growth? Read this Wiki on Khajurao Temples to know more.
Another famous example of Ancient India's sexual heritage is the Kamasutra – a doctrine on the subject and practice of sex. One of most exhaustive works on sexual intercourse, the present form of the text was compiled in the second century BC by Vatsyayana. Read this wiki for some history and this link to download the text.

The art of dropping clothes in Bollywood
Today, celebrities and models have finally perfected the art of dropping clothes in their films. Even if it for drawing fans to their movies, stars are seldom hesitant to reveal their bodies. "Jo bikta hai, wohi chalta hai" is the motto and no one seems to be complaining (except for some extreme political factions, of course).
Almost every film has a masala item number – Munni Badnaam was hot a few days back before Sheila Ki Jawaani came and garnered the top spot on chartbusters. Watch the video of Sheila Ki Jawaani. Now we have Deepika Padukone doing a raunchy item number in Dum Maro Dum.
Bollywood fans would give their right eye to see superstars on the beach in bikinis. Casual surveys put Kareena Kapoor on top almost every time. That's the peoples' opinion; however, a check on personal preferences brought up names that ended the stereotyped idea of being paper-thin to fit into a bikini. The modern bikini fits some retro stars as good if not better; they are enough splashes in spice to turn bleak an entire bikini-bevy of modern beauties. Among the modern, yet-not-so-known, Minissha Lamba certainly has the wow factor as much as the petite, popular babe, Deepika Padukone. She, of course, looks good in almost everything; and intoxicatingly drooling in twin packs.
Top 10 Bollywood Bikini Babes
1. Shilpa Shetty
Though Urmila's steamy lushness (Rangeela, Daud) created enough waves for the current bikini craze, but the pack is still led by Shilpa Shetty. This true stunner still has the ravishing factors slamming hard. Shilpa has been in the industry for almost 20 years now and even if she does not come in movies, she has her television acts going on. Shilpa Shetty last shot to fame for her win in the popular British reality show, Big Brother.
2. Kareena Kapoor
Those who saw her flaunt in Tashan move on to the next point; for the rest, she's an entire package of charisma wrapped in attitude. Kareena Kapoor came as a demure and not so hot chick in 'Refugee'. But cheap criticism could not stop her from moving up on hotness scale and we finally saw this sexy babe don hot bikinis in Tashan. Kareena actually started the size zero trend in India by flaunting her thin curves.
3. Aishwariya Rai Bachchan
Her previous flaunts made quite a few go round the bend; the bikini-session was a reflection on her rules. Stealth or svelte; she excels. Aishwarya Rai has also spent a good number of years in the industry and with the changing scenario of women shedding clothes, Aish didn't stop. From the conservative Bahu rani in Devdas, she moved on to the spunky thief in Dhoom 2.
4. Bipasha Basu:
The sensual sex symbol of Bollywood carried the bikini enough sensually to be nominated for the bikini-babe tag. Bipasha Basu raised eyebrows with her daring role in 'Jism' and has ever since been the ultimate sex siren of Bollywood. Recently, she also posed nude for a Maxim photoshoot saying that when you have it, you should flaunt it! Bipasha is one babe who will remain on this list for a long time to come.
5. Katrina Kaif
The nimble lady who knows how to show her curves well to impress even those who are not her fans. She is the dream of millions of fans all over the world with her charming smile, ravishing looks and an absolutely stunning body. Katrina Kaif rocked the industry with her Shiela Ki Jawaani item number though we would like her to rock it with some acting skills. Otherwise she will just remain that only – a classy item girl! Apart from that, Katrina Kaif is perhaps the hottest babe on the Bollywood bikini circuit right now and Ranbir Kapoor seems to be having all the fun.
6. Barbara Mori
I don't know if it will be fair to include a Mexican beauty in this list of Bollywood bikini babes but Barabara has it all. A plump bosom, petite figure and a cute face. Her strong point is shapely legs that blend in the washboard abs to strike a dare-to-bare stance. This raw Mexican beauty aplomb at her tempting best!
7. Priyanka Chopra
A toothsome dish with the best skills to sizzle in a bikini. Priyanka Chopra won the Miss World award in 2000 and it was rightly deserved.
8. Neha Dhupia
The ravishing diva's fleshy, smoking hot looks are what's required primarily to don a bikini. Neha Dhupia had one of the hottest bikini bodies, its unfortunate that her career could not take off that well in Bollywood. She was last seen in a creative role in Phas Gaye Re Obama.
9. Malaika Arora Khan
An attitude with oomph, Malaika is a blazing beauty in skimpy bikinis or in itsy-bitsy swimsuits. Malaika Arora Khan is the quintessential item girl of Bollywood for she has taken them to a whole new level. The best part is that she is a mom of two!
10. Lara Dutta
Waves created a magic in sensuousness that only compares to itself – Lara Dutta was Miss Universe in 2000 and she won rightly so. While shooting for 'Blue', Lara lost weight and shaped up her figure to look hot in a bikini and she came out pretty nice. Lara Dutta is one down-to-earth actress who has no airs about her being so hot!
So that's that. Bollywood beauties have indeed come full circle. What began with the sensual Urvashi when she tried to seduce Arjuna to bed her in Mahabharat, Katrina Kaif and Kareena Kapoor (not literally you duffer!). Ok, now. Enough of peeping here and there, I think you should get a chance to express your opinions as well. Let us know through your comments!

i can't take doom porn seriously without a date to wait for nothing to happen on..
I also prefer the doom porn that dates itself. It makes FAILURE WATCH much more fun. This doom porn was dated to 'just after the prophet dies'. And the fella with the prophecy died in June.
We have some information ... it's supposed to be at night and the tidal wave is supposed to hit Miami at 5:00 am. But that's about it for date/time.

3 events?? I wonder what the other two are.
3 events?? I wonder what the other two are.
Asteroid. Earthquake. Tsunami. That's the 'three'. I think it's all one but they are calling it three. Oh ... and they say the earth will stop rotating for 3 days because of the hit and tidal wave. But that's impossible. If that happens, humanity pretty much dies off. The rest of the prophecy says we are still here so that 'stop rotating for 3 days' is just wrong.

Review: HTC Flyer tablet mates with slippery pen
In that context, "never to have loved at all" looks like the cheaper option. Paper pads and ballpoint pens, too.
Sprint Nextel Corp. will sell a version of the Flyer it will call EVO View 4G, starting June 24. It will have 32 gigabytes of memory, double the storage in Best Buy's version, and it will have access to Sprint's data network. In a smart move, Sprint is including the pen, but only "for a limited time." However, buyers will need to sign up for two years of wireless data service from Sprint, so the final price will be considerably higher.
Some other things to consider: The Flyer runs Google Inc.'s Android 2.3 software, which in plain English means that it uses the same software as a lot of smartphones, but not other recent iPad rivals. They use a more recent package, "Honeycomb," that's designed for tablets. HTC promises to upgrade the Flyer's software to Honeycomb soon, helping it stay compatible with tablet-specific apps.
In my video-playing test, I got 7.5 hours of play time out of the Flyer, which isn't very good for a tablet. The iPad 2 gets ten hours; the Asus Eee Pad Transformer gets nine.
The Transformer is a better example of a tablet that tries to compete with the iPad by doing something new - in that case, by doubling as a small, elegant laptop thanks to a clever accessory keyboard.
The pen-sensing layer of the Flyer could be a great addition to the world of tablets, but someone really needs to figure out how to make the pen cheaper or easier to keep track of. To end on another corny quote, "If you love something, set it free; if it comes back it's yours, if it doesn't, it never was" is not a phrase to live by when it comes to $80 pens.

text: I fished a couple of South Sound inlets early last week, and I found some areas with quite a few chum fry and some with very little. The fishing was OK -- certainly not Trout-O-Rama -- but I didn't expect tons of fish. I landed a few of Roger's "cookie-cutter" fish, which I'm always happy to see. I also saw, but did not hook, a couple of big fish. In my experience, the best fishing over chum fry happens in April and May. I agree that it's a good idea to start out with small patterns and "match the hatch" in size as the season goes on. Everyone has spring fever right now -- yeah, me too -- and perhaps we all remember the great fishing from March of 2013. I'm hoping a slower early season means a better late season -- say, late May and early June. And, hey, don't forget those pink fry!

OPINION: In the hands of capable spin-doctors, even accurate statistics can be made to lie.
That being the case, the spinmeisters could have a field day with the partial data on national education standards that emerged last week, which has enabled some media outlets to begin to concoct so-called "league tables' of school performance.
As things stand, these 'national standards' figures comprise incomplete returns from a controversial process.
It arguably does not give a genuine picture of the success or otherwise of schools in meeting the needs of the children they teach, much less provide a reliable ranking of how schools are performing relative to one another.
Regardless of the wisdom of the national standards process, it is now the law.
For that reason, the 28 per cent of schools estimated to be not fully complying with the reporting standards can expect to come under increasing pressure to toe the line.
In the meantime, the partial data should probably be regarded less as a reliable snapshot of actual educational achievement in New Zealand and more as a tactical manoeuvre to identify and isolate those school boards still engaged in rearguard actions of defiance.
The schools - between 20 and 25, reportedly - that have not provided any national standards data can expect to be first in line for retribution.
A sense of inevitability now pervades the national standards process.
The Principals Federation may be right when it says that many schools are meeting the social and financial needs of deprived children and communities in ways that do not show up in any national standards tables.
However, increasingly such arguments look like an attempt to relitigate a battle that has been lost.
The Labour Opposition has clearly read the writing on the wall and recognised that wholesale resistance to national education standards would be a liability at the next election.
For that reason, Labour has not done a complete U-turn on national standards - which it continues to denounce as a counter-productive waste of teacher resources - so much as it has embarked on an attempt to neutralise the issue.
Thus, it has begun promoting the idea that the national standards process should be optional, not mandatory.
Rather than dump the new system entirely, a Labour-led government would allow some schools to opt out and use alternative measures of achievement if they so wished.
Ironically, this is much the same tactic used by conservative schools opposed early on to the NCEA system, and that have retained the right to choose alternative exam methods to test pupil performance.
Just how Labour can ensure national standards will be met in those schools opting out of the methodology was left unexplained - but as with NCEA, there will presumably be few political gains to be made either way in 2014 by haggling over the route being taken to reach much the same goal.
For now, the national standards dispute offers an interesting reversal of the usual positions.
It is a centre-right government enforcing a centrally-driven and standardised system of measurement reporting, while the centre- left is championing individual choice by schools.
No wonder the public may still be feeling confused by the twists and turns of this debate.

Daily tip: How to manually transfer data from your old iPhone to your new iPhone 4S
Switching from an old iPhone to the new iPhone 4S and wondering how you can transfer your data over? Luckily, iTunes makes this process almost painless. After your initial transfer to your new device, iOS 5 and iCloud will make the process even easier from here on out. But if for some reason you still need to transfer your data manually, we've got you covered!
If you've ever had to swap an iPhone out at an Apple store, you're probably already familiar with this process. If not, follow these easy steps to copy data to your new phone. This process will save all your contacts, camera roll photos, apps, and settings into an iTunes backup for you.
- Plug your current iPhone into your computer and open iTunes.
- If it doesn't start to sync automatically, click the Sync button. (You can alternately right click your device name in the navigation bar and click back up as well. Either way will work just fine.)
- Unplug your current iPhone and plug in your new iPhone.
- You'll be asked to register your iPhone if you haven't already.
- iTunes should prompt you to do one of two things, set up as a new iPhone or restore from a backup. Choose to restore from a backup and select the backup you just made.
- Once the restore is done your iPhone will reboot. When iTunes detects it again it will start to sync back any apps and games your old iPhone had installed.
- Let iTunes do its thing. When you come back, your new phone should have all the same settings and data as your old one!
After you've done a manual transfer you'll have the option to use iCloud backups in the future. If you have any questions or have issues, check out our TiPb Forums for all the help you could ever need!

Daily tip: How to manually transfer data from your old iPhone to your new iPhone 4S
I do volunteer work to weatherize homes for people, old, young, etc. Nothing crazy, stuff that has been known about for years, but people don't know how, hence the work. I have also cleaned many a computer system for friends, family and such, not everyone knows how to do things.
With a MAJOR update like iOS5 looming, and stats show that people do NOT plug in & B/U; this is just a gentle nudge, reminder, or how to....it doesn't hurt you, so honestly why do you bother to post a comment like such? Move on...
You know, all of us are granted different gifts in this world. Would you be able to sing like Whitney Houston (In her golden days)? Would you be able to play Chopin on the piano. In fact, why didn't you invent Itunes, or Mac, or Windows? It's asinine for you to comment on how we shouldn't need these tutorials. I didn't study computers in school, I studied Psychology, which you would obviously be great at given your human empathy and your ability to see things from other's POV. I hope trying to make people feel stupid on here made you feel better. If you know Itunes so well, why even waste time commenting? Go get a life and like your mother taught you, if you don't have anything nice to say, keep your opinions to yourself
Sounds like you have data saved in your backup from a jailbreak. I run into this quite frequently. Best bet is to save all your important data through SSH and restore a new phone, rejailbreak and SSH back into the phone and restore your saved data
Would this work to move data from iTouch to iPhone 4s, or is it not a good idea even if it is possible? MobileMe already has my contacts, only data I worry about retyping/saving would be in Notes, Pages, iAnnotate & Print to PDF. Also as Print to PDF is no longer available to buy, will it transfer over or do I loose it on new device?
Now that Sprint has iPhone I can round out my iCollection and pass the iTouch on to my 5 year old.
will it transfer over my text messages?
iOS 5 has really breathed new life into my 3GS. I'll probably upgrade after the first of the year but 5 has really added a lot of great features to the 3GS.
How do you create a new 'backup' when you sync, instead of constantly overwriting previous backups? On my computer I have 3 options of backups, one from yesterday, one from Feb, and one before that.
I tried to restore from a backup previously, and apparently that backup was corrupt. So I had to use my backup from Feb. However, I sync my phone at least monthly, but no other backup was available (so I lost all my data/pictures/notes etc since Feb to now)
I don't want to risk this again when transferring my data from I4 to I4S
Quick Question...
I'm selling my 3GS which was running 4.3.5 and getting the 4S on Friday.
I've done a backup and restore and setup as new on my 3GS and am sending it in the post tomorrow.
Question is-when i plug my new 4S into my iTunes-will i try to restore from my 4.3.5 software or rather import all my settings into ios 5?
mine did the same thing, It seem I lost everything, including my contacts
I went from a 3GS to a 4S and when I restored from backup, it totally overwrote everything making my 4S a 3GS. I had to restore factory settings to my new phone and resync. In the process all of my game history and some of my 3rd party apps histories. I had already updated the 3GS to io5 so I dont understand why this happened. Any ideas??
Have just transferred all of my information from icloud from my old 3Gs to the 4s. Worked great but now I have no service. Any ideas what is wrong?
Tremendous issues here. I am very happy to look your article. Thanks so much and I'm having a look ahead to contact you. Will you kindly drop me a e-mail?
Magnificent points altogether, you just received a new reader. What may you suggest in regards to your submit that you just made a few days in the past? Any certain?
Thank you for creating this website so easy to find information. good stuff. Saving this one for later.
Thanks for the tips about credit repair on this particular blog. A few things i would offer as advice to people is always to give up this mentality that they'll buy currently and shell out later. Being a society we tend to do this for many issues. This includes family vacations, furniture, and also items we would like. However, you have to separate your own wants out of the needs. As long as you're working to boost your credit score make some trade-offs. For example you can shop online to economize or you can turn to second hand outlets instead of expensive department stores regarding clothing.
Excellent blog right here! Additionally your website so much up fast! What web host are you using? Can I am getting your associate hyperlink in your host? I want my site loaded up as fast as yours lol
I have an iphone 4S. Its a great phone but a month and a half after the warranty ran out it stopped working. I purchased another one for a discounted price. My question is this: is it possible to transfer my contacts, pictures etc to the new iphone if the old one is not doing anything. I would not hold a charge nor does it even come on. I didn't save any of the old data to my computer. Am I SOL or can this be saved? Can someone respond please?

Welcome to the Keelby Cricket Club website. Keelby is approximately 15 miles west of Grimsby. The Cricket Club can trace its origins to 1896, when in a local paper there was mention of a cricket match played on the Village green. Although cricket was played on the green for many years, the club in its current form was established in 1975. Recently, after many years of debate and heated discussion, the club moved ground from the Village green to a brand new sports facility located at the end of Yarborough Road and Stallingborough Road. The Club fields 2 teams in the Lincolnshire County Cricket League, 1 team in the Grimsby and District Cricket Midweek League and a team in the East Lindsey Cricket League.

I personally found that just b/c I was successful in one did not translate into direct & immediate success in a similar field. There was always curve. I mean who remembers the beat Cyler put on DT a mere 28 months ago? I think after 2014 many of these guys will get a year of FS under their belt & kick some @$$.
Koll's original quote on Dake moving up was that they would review it throughout the year. Do we think Dake will stay up, or is still a possibility of him going 157?
"As Kyle goes for a fourth title, whether it's at a fourth different weight, it is historical, regardless," said Koll, who added they came to this decision when they realized it would make the Big Red a stronger team.
"We looked at the cast of characters that we had. Kyle had been cutting a lot of weight and he is confident whatever way he goes," said Koll, adding that Dake has certified to compete at 157 pounds this year and could still drop down when it comes to the postseason next March.
"If he's weighing 157 pounds at the end of the year, he's not going to stay up at 165 to prove a point. It's about where we have our best team and where he feels best wrestling. If he's training and he comes down to 160 pounds, then certainly he will be going 157. We will see. He likes to eat too."
I like the situation for him.
I think CKLV will tell him alot about whether or not he belongs at 165 or 157. Just like Oliver after some match-ups with some big boys.
I think beating David Taylor already proved that
I would certainly agree that his win over Taylor shows he is a strong contender at 165 (which we knew beforehand). His OT win doesn't show that he is a prohibitive favorite to win his 4th title though. But, I don't think that will play into Dake's thinking. He's got plenty of confidence in himself and will wrestle where he feels best and where is best for the team. But, IMO it's far from a foregone conclusion that he is a 4-time NCAA champ if he wrestles at 165. And, as others have noted, Caldwell is in the mix as well.
I think Dake belongs wherever the hell he thinks he belongs.

THIS SEMESTER, I teach a bright, charming, talented young woman named Kate Devlin who, as I write this, is deciding how to spend the $60,000 in college scholarships she's won for excellence in the fine arts.
I'm also privileged to know Annapolis High's Robin Dudley, a fine violinist who fiddles in the Chesapeake Youth Symphony and was recently awarded a four-year tuition waiver by Towson State University, valued in excess of $24,000. (She passed up a similar deal at West Virginia University to remain in state, by the way.)

God has a cure for that itch - October 29, 2010
God has a cure for that itch - October 29, 2010
Devotion - God has a cure for that itch - Oct. 29, 2010
Daily devotion from 2 Timothy 4:2-5.
See series:
Preach the Word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage—with great patience and careful instruction. For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths. But you, keep your head in all situations, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, discharge all the duties of your ministry.
2 Timothy 4:2-5
Mosquito bites! Athlete's Foot. Poison Ivy. If you've ever had to deal with these itchy, scratchy ailments, you know they are no fun and very hard to get rid of. You try this lotion and that spray but the itch doesn't seem to go away. Time and patience (and more lotion) are about the only answers that make the itch go away.
As the Apostle Paul wrote these last words to his dear friend Timothy, Paul was preparing Timothy to deal with a situation far worse that bug bites and skin rashes. False teachings, lies about the faith and salvation, and personal religious opinions were infesting and infecting the hearts of people. Such things go beyond irritation; they hurt and kill saving faith. Paul knew that a time was coming when people would no longer desire to hear the Word of God, especially what God had to say about sin. And because people like to sin and indulge in their every desire without being made to feel guilty, they would surround themselves with like-minded teachers who would grant a stamp of approval on their sinful lifestyles.
Paul's words are quite prophetic for us since we are still living in similar times. The abuse of God's gift of sex, which is reserved for marriage, only is called "experimentation." Giving in to homosexual temptation is now passed off as "God made me that way." The promotion that the world was not created but evolved over billions of years is the commonplace lie among most universities, high schools, and even grade schools. Books promote Jesus as a mere teacher of moral living and even suggest that he may have been married and might have sinned, too. Why all the promotion of these and many other false teachings? Because people who don't want to believe the Bible have an itch—an itch against God. They don't want to feel accountable to God or live their lives according to his Word. So, the only way to calm that itch is to reduce God to nothing more than a lucky rabbit's foot or a curse word.
What is the salve for this itch? "Preach the Word!" Preach and proclaim the Bible—the whole Bible. Let God work through the Scriptures to do the rebuking and correcting. Let God set the record straight. And even if people will not listen, God still calls us to be faithful to the Word and proclaim it "in season and out of season." May God strengthen us to do this always!
Lord Jesus, help me to always faithfully proclaim your word for your Word is truth and life. Amen.

Regional Work #2
Regional Work #2 is from a series of diptychs called Regional Pieces done by the artist in 1976. Here one panel depicts a seascape of dark purples, and the other a fish immersed in the same purple waters. Each panel is framed by drapery made of brightly painted Celastic, a clothlike material, giving the impression of viewing the image through a window (one above the sea line and the other below, looking directly into the ocean). Writing about her work, Morton referred to "the responsibility of the artist . . . to be free, and while in that freedom, to look, and to see while looking, and to feel, and to respond while feeling, and to be romantic, and to love the romance."

LANSING, Mich. (AP) - A state report says physical hazards remain in the former copper mining region of Michigan's Upper Peninsula.
The Michigan Department of Community Health says Tuesday it has finished two reports about public health conditions in and around the Torch Lake Superfund site in Houghton County and Keweenaw County. The site was polluted with waste rock during mining operations from the 1890s to 1960s.
The reports include responses to questions raised during a public comment period last year.
One describes physical hazards remaining from mining activities and recommends removing them or restricting access.
The other deals with potential chemical exposure from municipal and private drinking water. It says municipal water is safe and meets applicable standards and regulations, but there isn't enough information about chemical levels in some private wells.

Three 15 Year-Old Amigos, One Stolen Truck
A week-end of adventure ends with a trip to juvie in La Crosse for three boys. Cops say the three fifteen year-olds escaped from a group home in Sparta early on Saturday morning, somehow got to La Crosse and then holed up in a friend's house for a time until the friend's mom found out. Then, they were just killing time until running across a truck on the street at a rummage sale. The boys grabbed the truck and took off as the owner watched it drive away. Cops finally tracked them down on Sunday. They suspect the boys may have also stolen a van in Sparta.

Secretary General of the Higher Presidential Election Commission (HPEC) Counselor Hatem Begato said on Wednesday 12/6/2012 nobody is allowed to obtain the database of any voter according to the law.
At a press conference in the State Information Service (SIS) to explain the final arrangements for the presidential run-off, set for June 16-17, he added that nobody will be allowed to influence the choice of voters during the ballot process.
Begato highlighted that, according to the law, nobody is allowed to get the database of voters.
He confirmed that any attempt to intimidate the HPEC members will be futile. Also, he added, anybody, proven seeking to influence the voters during the ballot process will be arrested.
He deemed the turnout of the first round of the presidential election, which stood at 46 percent, as a negative aspect of the polls. He expressed hope that the turnout in the run-off would hit 70 percent.
Representatives of media outlets are allowed to attend the vote counting process, he said.

If you have started a business and created your brand and logo you may want to know how to register a trademark in India.
What is a trademark?
A Trademark (TM) in India includes:
- Word or letter
- Device
- Brand
- Logo
- Slogan
- Label, ticket, name, signature
- Three dimensional shapes
- Numeral, shape of goods, packaging or
- Combination of colours
- Sound mark
When you register a trade mark in India you should:
- Avoid Selection of identical, similar and deceptively similar trade marks
- Avoid possible conflicts & infringement action
- Avoid unnecessary costs
- Avoid unnecessary opposition at the trade mark office
So how to register a trademark in India?
Before filing an application for registration of a mark in India, it is advisable to conduct searches to insure that the mark has not been used and registered by someone else in India. Such trademark searches can be made online, at he the Office of the Trademark Registry, by anyone who has an account with an Indian bank to enable payment to that trademark office (you will also need an Indian address and fill form TM-54). But it is faster and easier to appoint a trademark law firm in India to do the searches and submit application for your company.
Selecting your trademark section
Before registering a trademark in India you should however know for which category (and subcategory) you want to register your trademark. You can choose your product or service categories in which your business operates (or plans to operate) at the World Intellectual Property Organization. The site shows you all the 34 goods classes and 11 service classes. For each class you register a trademark in India, you will have to pay extra, the selection of several subcategories will however not attract any extra cost. It is therefore advisable to select all the relevant indications of goods or services in the selected section. The application can be submitted at one of the Trade Mark Registry offices in India in Mumbai (Head Office), Delhi, Kolkata, Ahmedabad or Chennai. The cost for the registration of a trademark in India is 3,500 Rs (60 €) for each section (this is a Government fee and does not include any property consultant or law firm fee for preparing the application and eventual oppositions to be filed in case the application is rejected).
Foreign companies who want to register a trademark in India
If the applicant has already applied for Trademark protection in one of the countries belonging to the Paris Convention or signatories of the TRIPS Agreement of the World Trade Organization (WTO), then an application for registration can be filed in India claiming the property of registration from earlier corresponding application in the convention country, provided that the application is filed in India six months of the priority date.
Duration and validity of a trademark registration in India
Usually, the Indian Trademark Registry grants the registration within a year, but sometimes in can take longer.
The registration is valid for a period of 10 years, and may be renewed for further periods of 10 years each with payment of the renewal fee of 5,000 Rupees (80 €). So, a brand, if renewed on time, can be protected in India indefinitely.
When considering the investments companies are making to create their brands when entering the Indian market or launching a new product or service, it is very advisable to register a trademark in India as soon as possible before other companies will use the same or a similar mark.

Thanks for the movie reviews =) Fun to see what you've watched!
Hey Pam, thanks so much! I haven't watched any of these, so I appreciate to know what you thought ;o) Have a great day ;o)
I forgot to say, I will be for sure watching August Rush!! Looks fantastic!
I love movie reviews, being a huge movie buff :-)
August Rush was surprisingly good, not knowing what to expect when I saw it. And alien movies are fun, so I will watch for the Alien Invasion. Have you heard of the new cop movie called 'Courageous' that just came out? been hearing great things about it.
I liked the Book of Eli too, it's a post apocalyptic movie - a bit violent though, but the story was great!
Somehow I wasn't following your blog, I just clicked on your link from an Acesty group note & been wandering around having a great time :) BTW My youngest daughter loved the Soul Surfer movie & has watched it numerous times, she is now reading the book. You have inspired me to check out the Alien Invasion film & quite like the look of The Fighter... actually you make them all sound worthwhile - good reviews!!
Thank you everyone, we have watched 4 more movies already so will blog them soon! I am really enjoying the movies!
Betty - I haven't heard of that movie, will have to check out the trailer! Book of Eli I have seen the trailer and it's not really our type of movie.
Shelle - No worries :) I have so many blogs I am following, I go through spurts where I don't read blogs, but I try to catch up once in a while. There are just so many I get burnt out and so far behind. lol But now I have my iPad so maybe I can keep up with them all!
Glad your daughter loves Soul Surfer. I am sure it's very inspiring to a kid.
I had no idea they were up to 4 Free Willy movies!
Just watched Soul Surfer... it made me cry, but inspirational too, everyone in it was perfect in their roles too! Have a great weekend :)
Yeah Christine, the first 3 are really good. Of course none of the sequels are as good as the first!
Glad you enjoyed it Shelle! Have a great weekend also!

Vandermark & friends ....
Artifact: iTi Live In St. Johann (Okka Disk, 2010) **½
Lean Left - The Ex Guitars meet Nilssen-Love/Vandermark Duo, Volume 1 (Smalltown Superjazzz, 2010) ***½
Volume 2 starts as a kind of mirror to Volume 1, with the two guitars taking the lead on the first piece for some minimalist noise-making, with Vandermark only faintly joining after ten minutes or so. The second piece is on the contrary all fire and explosion, with all four members contributing quite powerfully, also in the more quiet moments.
Tim Daisy / Ken Vandermark Duo - Light On The Wall (Laurence Family Records, 2010) ****
The album starts with "Autostrada", slowly picking up speed with Vandermark on clarinet, then Daisy pushes up a kind of tribal rhythm, bringing the clarinet to full intensity, then slowing down for a nice melodious moment. "The Empty Chair" is the ideal Vandermark + percussion duet, full of funky power, deep rhythmic grooves, offering the drummer all the opportunities to demonstrate what can be done if the rhythm is already so inherently present in the solo instrument, and that's what Daisy does, grasping the opportunity to play slow, or double-time, or play around the beat, all cleverness and subtlety, driving the reverse situation to an extreme in the last minutes. Man, this is great fun!
The B-side starts with "Turnabout", a quiet and sensitive piece, lyrical and sweet, and is followed "Landing", in which the rhythm picks up again for some great funky improv, not unlike what we've heard before, yet always nice to hear again, with "Decollage" being more abstract free improv without clear patterns.
On the second disk, Tim Daisy plays seven pieces for solo percussion, and on the D-side, Vandermark brings four 'études for Jimmy Giuffre' on clarinet. Both solo sides are quite interesting to listen to, and a nice addition to complete the album, yet are not really essential.
Watch a clip of Vandermark + Daisy, recorded on May 15, 2008, so exactly two years ago.
Buy from Instantjazz.

Wow, that duo video with Daisy is great, is it also featured on the album?
- May 16, 2010 at 1:26 AM
I have the 'Artifact' cd and although i agree with you it is maybe not the best by these players i think it is WAY better and more interesting than your description (and rating). Check it out a second time...you may find something else in there.

It is not exactly like on the album, but it is "Empty Chair", the last track of the first side.

Hi Anonymous 2,
This is all very subjective. If you think it's way better, then I'm sure you're right. I can only say what I think and feel when I hear it. It could be much better.

I think the iTi album is quite interesting, but lacking in dynamics. Probably one of those albums that I won't play that often anymore.
Agree that the Lean Left album is stronger, and especially because of the amazing drums/sax interplay, which is as good as their work on the Chicago/Milwaukee volumes imo. I'd give it ****.
I dig the 2LP as well, though I could've done without the solo sides.

Henry Cimoli and Spenser have been friends for years, yet the old boxing trainer has never asked the private eye for a favor. Until now. A heavy-handed developer is trying to buy up Henry's condo on Revere Beach and sends thugs to move the process along. Soon Spenser and his apprentice, Zebulon Sixkill, find a trail leading to a mysterious and beautiful woman, a megalomaniacal Las Vegas kingpin, and plans to turn a chunk of land north of Boston into a sprawling casino. Bitter rivals emerge, alliances turn, and the uglier pieces of the Boston political machine look to put an end to Spenser's investigation.
Aspiration, greed, and twisted dreams all focus on the old Wonderland dog track where the famous amusement park once fronted the ocean. For Spenser and Z, this simple favor to Henry will become the fight of their lives.
©2013 Ace Atkins (P)2013 Random House Audio
"Good but not quite"
This is Spenser. This is Parker - well not quite but close enough.
Joe Mantegna has been the voice of Spenser; he is Spenser.
Bo! I wanted to parse it out so it would last.
Where is Hawk?
"Worth the time!"
One of the best Spenser stories!
Strong recommendation!
Lots of twists and turns!
Joe M. Makes it even better. Yes!
"Really enjoyable performance."
Nothing was lost in this continuing character driven story. If anything, funnier than originals. Worth the purchase.
"Another Spencer adventure, interesting story"
I have all of Parker's 'Spencer' audiobooks and especially treasure the ones read by Joe Mantegna. Ace Atkins did a pretty good job of writing Spencer dialog. I missed having Hawk in the book, like I do any time he is "unavailable" for the plot.
Briefly, 1. Chapters too long
2. Swearing unnecessary and not a part of Susan and rarely of Spencer
3. Sequential chapters too often continue the flow of the same action, same arc
4. Book felt like the author was paid by the word
5. Dialogue very Parker-like
6. The descriptive asides appear to distract from the action, too long, sometimes too oblique
7. Plot twists often oblique enough to fatigue and disconnect the reader
"Again Spenser!"
Thanks to Ace Atkins for channeling RBP's essence and Joe M for making it live. RBP gone too soon.
I read all series books, when I find a character I love I can't stand not to know what happens to them next.
"Spencer continues"
I have really liked all the Spencer novels and I think Ace Atkins has really done a good job filling in some big shoes.
I am from Chicago. Enjoy reading listening to audio books such as Robert. B. Parker, Ian Douglas, Taylor Anderson, Jac Cambel an social work
"Robert B. Parker is proud"
great, fantastic and enjoyable.
From the beginning to end I could not stop listening to the story. Ace Atskins did a great job with spenser by bringing his humor and tough character alive. The tradition continue without Robert B. Parker.
Joe does an exelent job with Spenser. He makes spenser live with his voice and does a great job bringing all the other character alive.
Everytime I read a Spenser novel I laugh. I listen to the story 3 times and do not get tire hearing it. Not only I laugh but Spenser makes me think.
This is a must read. If you love the spenser TV show you must read all his spenser novels.
"Ace aces Robert Parker's Spenser."
Yes, It is funny and entertaining throughout.
It is like listening to a Spenser novel written by Robert Parker...very entertaining.
Joe is Spenser and I regard him as the best voice of Spenser ever.
I was laughing throughout.
Ace Atkins embodies the heart and soul of the lead characters.
"Simply Spenser"
Only if the friend had read the whole series. If not, I'd tell to start at the beginning.
Suspenseful and unexpected.
I like his pacing and timing.
Yes, it could be a movie. Joe Mantegna could be Spenser. Or Tom select although he plays Jesse Stone, another Parker character.
I like Henry and Z. I have never liked Susan. The Susan and Spenser scenes are my least favorite. I like Spenser's attitude as sense of humor. The investigation kept me interested. Nice addition to the series.
"Badly read"
It was obvious this was not written completely by Mr Parker but was ok. However what spoiled it for me was the narration very poor.
"A very good clone"
Joe Mantagna is a wonderful narrator for Spenser. Atkins channels Parker flawlessly, yet is the story just a little too predictable? Definitely one for fans though.

Angioplasty, basically, is a meticulous technique of mechanically broadening the arteries that are blocked or contracted the former however being an outcome of atherosclerosis. Since the surgical procedure concentrates on vigilantly opening the obstructed arteries in the heart, angioplasty helps enhance oxygen and blood flow to the heart but without any open heart surgical treatment. In fact, the surgical method fundamentally intends to clear out the passage for the blood flow inside the blood vessels. While not many would be cognizant of, but waxy substances made of fibrin, cholesterol and fats tend to accumulate over the walls of veins and arteries over the period of time which not only make it difficult for the blood to circulate adequately, but also make it unfeasible for the blood to transverse to and from the heart.
Heres where the angioplasty surgical operation comes for rescue and helps patients breathe easier by opening blocked arteries in the heart. However, the surgery encompasses the inclusion of a balloon and a catheter inside the blood vessel, subsequent to which, the balloon is pumped up and filled with air at an extremely high water pressure once it reaches the affected area or the part that needs to be treated. The process, thus, enables surgeons to target the obstructed arteries and obliterate the plaque formed by fatty deposits to allow the blood to circulate normally.
Once the plaque is taken off, the surgical procedure proceeds with the removal of balloon which gets collapsed after being inflated at a high water pressure. The catheter, on the other hand, stays within the internal body system for a few more hours to smooth the progress of another emergency intervention. However, angioplasty surgeons even recommend a metallic stent inside the blood vessel for patients who feature a genetic predisposition to build up blockages in their blood vessels. Although the procedure consumes an elongated duration, but angioplasty with a metallic stent inside the vessel will enable the thorough prevention of its re-closure.
But, the process of angioplasty surgery has been segregated into three categories which solely depend on the historical evolution and the condition of a patients ailment. The angioplasty classified by staged is basically performed when the patient displays absolute no symptoms of improvement after a few days of hospitalization. The primary angioplasty, whereas, is executed instantaneously after the patient has undergone a heart attack. However, surgeons may be put to a challenge when the heart of a patient is too frail to pump blood into the vessels properly. The third type, known as rescue angioplasty, is generally performed when medication does not appear to be effective in improving the patients health condition.
Although angioplasty bypass surgery involves several complications as the heart of the patient is actually stopped, but the surgical procedure can indeed emerge as significantly helpful in solving the problem for at least ten to fifteen years. Nonetheless, its always better to discuss with the doctor before undergoing any such procedure or surgery.

Brackets for the first day are out.
Bayramov looks like the favorite to come out of the top quarter. Peter Modos is another guy that at least I've heard of in that section
Mango is in the next quarter, and his draw honestly doesn't look that bad. He has the wrestler from Kyrgyzstan in the first round. He's got a possible match up with the Cuban in round 2, but honestly I don't know anyone here other than Mango
Karakas and Haapamaki are here in this section.
Last quarter is rough. Mankiev, Amoyan, and Sourian's replacement are all down here.
Much as I hate to say it, don't know anyone in the top quarter here at 66 either.
Rahimov is here in the second quarter, only guy that I know here.
This is the quarter of death here. Olympic Gold Medalist Guenot, and Olympic Silver Medalist Begaliev are both here in this quarter. Returning World Champion Vachadze is here. Lester is here as well. He has the Serbian wrestler in the first round. Assuming he wins his first two he'd see Vachadze.
Lorincz, Tskhadaia, and Vardanyan are down here.
Totrov and Rezaei are here in the top quarter
Honestly don't know anyone here, the Georgian and the Cuban are in this section
Ruiz and Lidberg are here matched up on one another in the first round, Mirko Englich is in this quarter as well
Kiss and Gabadadze are here.

Starter Best Sellers! Use Shop By Vehicle Above To Find Yours!
The Starter is an electrical device, which is used to start the car's internal combustion engine. Located under the car's engine, it is mounted on the transmission housing. The flywheel is found between the engine and the transmission. The starting system of a car consists of a motor, solenoid, and battery. The motor is electrically operated by the solenoid.
When the car's key is turned to the start position, an electrical signal is sent to the solenoid through a micro-chipped key and the control module. Then the signal moves to the burglar alarm and the neutral safety switch. This results in the starter gear engaging with the flywheel and turning the gear. If a clicking noise is heard while turning the key to the 'on' position, the car's starter must be replaced as soon as possible. Buy Auto Parts stocks a wide range of starters for every car make and model at unbeatable prices.
We provide genuine OEM replacements and premium aftermarket parts at affordable prices. To find a starter for your vehicle, select the right year, make and model of your car on our online catalog. Each of our car parts has been tested to meet or exceed industry standards. All auto part orders over $50 will receive free shipping.

Gymnastics Brings Christmas Joy to Local Community
Dec. 21, 2012
RALEIGH, N.C. - The NC State women's gymnastics team has done its part during the Christmas season by giving back to the community in a variety of ways. The team volunteered with the Sensitive Santa project for kids with Autism, cooked breakfast at the Ronald McDonald house, made t-shirts for the Children's Hospital and adopted a family for Christmas.
The squad dressed as Santa's elves for the Sensitive Santa event that was held at Crabtree Valley Mall while it was closed. The program was designed to allow children with sensory processing disorders to visit Santa in a safe and calm environment. Members of the team interacted with all of the children and asked about their Christmas lists.
"Participating in community service has been something that the girls have really taken to heart," said assistant coach Colleen Johnson. "It's not something that we ask them to do, but they have taken the initiative to do it."
In addition, the team also cooked breakfast for families at the Ronald McDonald House to lift the spirit of the families during the holiday season. The charity provides comfort, safety and advocacy in a home-like environment for families with critically ill or injured children.
Another project in which the team participated was making t-shirts for the Children's Hospital for the patients to wear as smocks. Each member took time to design a shirt for someone at the Children's Hospital. Lastly, the program delivered meals to families for Christmas to make sure the families are able to enjoy a great meal during the holiday season.
"The team's initiative to participate in these events just shows the type of student-athletes that we have in our program," said Johnson. "They always come back with so much joy and talk about how much they loved it, so that's great to hear as a coach."
The program has won the ImPACK award five times (1999, 2001, 2005, 2011 and 2012), given to a team each year based on the team GPA and "Above and Beyond" activities, such as community service.
NC State opens the season on the road Jan. 4 at LSU.

Your Voice is Essential This Fall
Gridlock Continues in Congress
August 2013
When members of Congress return to Washington on Sept. 9, following a five-week summer recess, they face a mountain of urgent issues—and a new round of debate over the federal budget.
Much of the unfinished business Congress will address this month directly affects hungry and poor people. Decisions made this fall will impact the lives of vulnerable people, both at home and abroad, for years to come.
At the top of the list of congressional priorities this month is working to avoid a government shutdown. Legislators have just nine working days from the date of their return to pass a continuing resolution that would temporarily fund the government until Congress finalizes the budget for fiscal year 2014. Failure to reach a compromise could mean a government shutdown that would harm vulnerable groups, some of whom have already suffered through program cuts and reductions because of sequestration, such as Meals on Wheels recipients.
Negotiations around funding the government offer an opportunity for legislation to replace the sequester. Since sequestration began, Bread for the World has been pushing Congress to replace these harmful across-the-board cuts with a balanced approach that includes both revenues and responsible spending cuts that do not harm low-income people or communities. Without this balanced approach, priorities such as international poverty-focused development assistance, WIC, and other safety net programs such as Medicaid and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, formerly food stamps), will continue to be at risk of deep cuts.
SNAP is facing several threats this fall. This month, House leadership will release the full text of their proposal to cut $40 billion from SNAP over 10 years. Earlier in the summer, the House was unable to pass a unified farm bill that included $20 billion cuts to SNAP. In July, the House decided to split the farm bill and passed farm program legislation that did not include the nutrition provisions, the largest of which is SNAP. As expected, splitting the farm bill—historically a single, bipartisan piece of legislation that has connected the numerous pieces of our food system—exposes SNAP to unprecedented cuts.
According to the draft framework for the nutrition-only bill, the $40 billion in cuts come from tougher work requirements, particularly for able-bodied adults without dependents. These requirements would remove millions of people from the program. The House is expected to consider their bill immediately after returning from August recess, during the week of Sept. 9. If passed, there will then be a farm bill conference committee between the House and Senate, where members of Congress will attempt to come to final agreement on a farm bill.
Unfortunately, no matter what happens with farm bill negotiations, SNAP recipients will still see changes to their benefits this fall on Nov. 1, when the 2009 Recovery Act's temporary increase to SNAP expires. This means that 47 million individuals who rely on this vital program will automatically see their benefits reduced.
Faithful advocates must remain vigilant during this crucial time. Congress cannot allow efforts to reduce the federal deficit to overshadow the people who are most in need of assistance. We must continue to ask members of Congress to move beyond gridlock and come to agreement on these issues while also protecting programs that help hungry and poor people.
Get updates on issues and actions to take on behalf of hungry people.

It's party time for Babs, 100
Posted: November 22, 2012|
Family and friends helped centenarian Babs Housden to celebrate her big day.
Babs welcomed guests to Audley Court in Saffron Walden, where she now lives, for refreshments and cake to mark the milestone.
Born Florence Caroline Forby in East Dereham, Norfolk, on November 15, 1912, the name Babs was given to her by her mother and stuck throughout her life.
Babs moved to Saffron Walden before the Second World War, living in South Road with her parents and older brother Kenneth. She was attached to the fire service during the war, where she met future husband Bert Housden – a grocer who ran shops in High Street and then Church Street.
They married soon after the war and in 1948 moved into Gibson Gardens, where their son Michael was born.
Michael, 62, who was joined at the party by Babs' grandchildren, said: "She has great perseverance – she has been in hospital a number of times but always fights back."

Mark Zuckerberg had harsh words for HTML5 today on stage at the TechCrunch Disrupt conference, saying that Facebook's big HTML5 bet was "one of the biggest strategic mistakes we made."
But just because it's not right for a high-profile commercial app, that doesn't mean corporate developers should ignore it and go all native.
Zuckerberg said that Facebook bet on HTML5 about 20 months ago -- that puts the decision back in early 2011. The company saw most of its mobile traffic coming through its mobile web sites (Zuckerberg said that's still the case today, with Facebook's mobile web sites driving more traffic than the iOS and Android Facebook apps combined). So rather than going with native code, Facebook decided to use HTML5 across the board -- any change to its web site could be fairly easily replicated in its mobile apps.
"It just wasn't ready," Zuckerberg admitted today. The resulting apps were slow and unreliable, while other mobile apps were offering a much better experience. Eventually the company realized that "good enough is not good enough. We have to get to the highest quality level, and only way we'll get there is to do native."
So a few months ago, Facebook shifted directions 180 degrees and started building native apps for iOS and Android. The iOS app came out a couple weeks ago to mostly strong reviews, and Zuckerberg said that engagement has already gone up.
So HTML5 was a bad choice for Facebook. Does that mean it's a bad idea for enterprise mobile apps as well?
Not necessarily. We spoke with Ojas Rege, the VP of Strategy for mobile device and app management provider MobileIron, and the former head of Yahoo's mobile products.
"He's right, Facebook made a faux pas on that one. They didn't stop and think about how end users were using the product. The HTML versus native question is not an enterprise or consumer-specific question. It's a user-specific question."
Rege laid out five factors enterprises should consider when thinking of the user experience for corporate apps:
- Connectivity. If the user is operating in areas with poor wireless connectivity, giving them a web-based app won't work. For example, a utility worker reading meters in people's basements all day shouldn't be using an HTML5 app.
- Device variety. In heterogeneous environments with lots of device types, HTML5 might make more sense. But today, iOS dominates corporate environments, at least among the customers MobileIron talk swith. So serving multiple platforms is not as big a concern in the corporate world as it is for a consumer company like Facebook, which has hundreds of millions of users accessing its apps from every conceivable kind of device.
- Data sensitivity. If workers are accessing highly sensitive data, companies might want to favor an HTML5 app that leaves all data on the server, rather than letting employees work with it locally.
- Interaction model. HTML5 is OK for apps that have a fairly simple user experience, like entering data into a form or choosing from a few selections. But for more complicated apps, native is a better choice.
- Integration with on-device functions. Native apps may be able to access more built-in functions on the device, like integrating with the camera to scan information, or integrating with contact lists.
Under those parameters, HTML5 seems like it's not appropriate in very many corporate settings. So we asked Rege to name one.
"Hospitals," he said. "You'll have ubiquitous high speed bandwidth. You'll have sensitive data, so you'll want it to be stored on the server side. Depending on what the application is, some might require lots of complex inteactions, but some are very simple, like dosing applications, or patient rounding applicatons. Those could work very well for HTML5."
The key is not to shoehorn a web app into a mobile device at the expense of user experience, just to save developer time. "If you sacrifice user experience to make your developers' lives easier, the app will just fail."
Facebook learned that lesson the hard way.
