Greenwood Village-based Molycorp Inc. said the Securities and Exchange Commission has completed an investigation against the rare earths producer and has not recommended any enforcement action.
Molycorp shares were up 9 percent at $6.12 in after-market trading on Thursday. Molycorp shares gained 19 cents to close at $5.61 in regular trading Thursday.
The SEC had started investigating the accuracy of Molycorp's public disclosures last August.
Rare earths, produced primarily in China, are essential for making high-tech products such as smartphones, tablets, hybrid vehicles and automotive catalysts.
Molycorp's acquisition of Canada's Neo Materials last year gave the miner access to processing capabilities and patents, making it the only major North American player with the ability to both mine and process rare earths.
Rare earths prices skyrocketed in 2010 and early 2011 as China clamped down on exports, prompting a global rush to secure supplies. China has eased export controls since then and prices have declined.

One day in Dijon…
This is Emma Rios practicing Destreza at 2013 in competitive play:
First, posting a video of your fencing is an act of bravery for a fencer or an instructor. If we are to believe what we read on the forums the internet is filled with super-ninjas who can readily find fault with anyone else's practice even if they have never gotten out of their own chair to fence themselves. I don't put much faith in the armchair-ninja crowd but I do appreciate it when someone practicing in a tradition I study shares their work and for that I thank her and the school she trains with.
I wanted to specifically talk about the Destreza that is working here and how I perceive the tradition in her practice. Because I have never met Emma, this will be speculative but I hope it will be informed by the primary sources and that my analysis will help someone who is unfamiliar with Destreza understand why her strategy is working and where it comes from.
The First Rule is to Defend
In Italian fencing there exists an imaginary line between two adversaries called the line of direction. It is the shortest path to the target.
In the True Destreza (LVD) there is the Diameter. The Diameter of the common circle is defined by the Medio de Proporcion which we might call the defensive medio. It is the balance point from which we transition to 'out of distance' into our first opportunity for offense but with an eye fixed on our defensive place. Ettenhard also tells us that it is the distance at which we can still safely react in time to form a defense. You can think of a medio as a beautiful balance point chosen by reason, knowledge, and experience.
You could also visualize the defensive medio as a bubble around you which defines the area you must keep clear to effectively defend yourself. Rada calls this sphere required for effective defense the Maximum Orb and the Medio de Proporcion defines the Radius of a personal safety bubble.
Consider the video and watch how Emma places her Italian adversary in the center of the fighting space (just as we see in the image above) and then she continually probes and pressures the edges of the adversary's safe space to threaten. (I want to be very clear that Emma is walking the circumference of the Maximum Orb and not the Common Circle. Walking the Common Circle is akin to suicide without control of the blade or the time because you are closing distance.)
The Italian fencer seems absolutely baffled and doesn't have an answer for the continuously changing place of the fight. Emma's control of the place and her ability to gauge distance against a refused blade is key to her success in shutting down the adversary's offense. When the attacks arrive, she has the training to receive them and respond with a defense-offense action. (Atajo and cut typically.)
- Key Point – Defense by control of the Medio de Proporcion (MdP).
- Key Point – Force the adversary into your strategy while denying them their own.
- Key Point – Train to know your distance and how to gauge your adversary's distance.
Spirals Control Threat-Space
Pacheco tells us that fencers that want to attack the hand will often keep their blade held well back which is what we observe here in Emma's opponent. His answer is to circle the adversary and create spirals as if we were executing the General Treta of the Weak Under the Strong (a clockwise spiral) which forms a sort of invitation and time-thrust all executed as a circular blade action. Circular parries, envelopments, and other blade spirals control regions of space and working from the defensive medio (or just outside it) means that the risk for creating the spirals is reduced.
This appears (to me) to be Emma's other well-trained strategy for frustrating the adversary. An Italian wants to find your blade with a gain and then lunge straight. Emma is refusing to stay on the line, keeps her distance well, and frustrates the attempts to gain (or even find position) by following Pacheco's advice and creating spirals while circling with her footwork but she never gets so close that she loses the ability to defend.
- Key Point – The further away from the adversary you are, the less risky it is to move your weapon.
- Key Point – Spirals control or regain control of space.
- Key Point – A continuously moving blade is harder to gain.
My personal favorite is the atajo on the outside line and medio tajo at about 35 seconds. Do I completely agree with every movimiento in the fight? No, but I don't need to agree universally to appreciate the training. The tradition has space for lots of difference, diverse schools, and cultures. What is important to me is that someone shared their work in a tradition that I feel strongly about and I think the work was good. If more people were as courageous as Emma and posting their own videos of LVD in action we would create a world community of Destreza practitioners and that would be good for the art and the science.

Managing Expectations
There's a small action you can take, right away, that will build confidence in you personally, as well as ensuring that the trust that your people have in you is high.
I'm pretty sensitive to it – perhaps it's just the way I am – but it's a very important behavior that I notice easily when it happens.
You see, I really expect people to do what they say they will. It's not much to ask!
Now, that doesn't seem so hard now, does it? well, you might be surprised. In fact managers so often fail to deliver, it's little wonder that they fail to create the respect and trust that they need to be effective managers.
And there's such a simple way to ensure that you are seem to deliver what you say you will.
Here's an example.
I was once placed in a tricky situation. The organization I worked for had a rigid salary review process – one that once a salary raise was in place (and it was an annual activity) there was no way to change it.
Yet we had to make the budgets balance before we could tell out people what they had achieved and were going to shortly receive.
One of my supervisors was not happy with the outcome of her review and came to tell me so. In fact, I had inherited the review that year (from a previous manager) and it seemed to me that there was just cause for her concern.
But I couldn't fix it there and then. In fact, although there was a small window to 'fix' such matters – at the half year mark – I wasn't prepared to 'promise' an increase then even.
What I did do was promise to take a further look at her situation and be as fair with her as possible and depending on her meeting some criteria we agreed.
I was never perfect at this. I did notice that because I held 'keeping promises' in high regard in my business life, I would always do my best to ensure that I met the expectations others had of me.
Under-promising has so many benefits – and it's a tactic that is very worthy of consideration, particularly when you have taken time to create relationships with your people upfront.

It's been too long since I did one of these posts! You may have noticed that I use a lot of old-time Scout photographs throughout this blog. There are a handful of reasons for this. For one, they go great with the theme of this blog, as I am out to rediscover valuable Scouting lessons from the past. Secondly, they're inspiring. They remind us what this movement has been through and where it has come from. They capture Scouts doing awesome things, many times in ways we don't really do too much anymore. And Thirdly, I am just a big fan of the nostalgic style.
So without further ado, I'd like to present to you some of my latest favorite historical Scout photos!
The Photo above is from an article by William Hillcourt (Green Bar Bill). In the article Hillcourt highlights the importance of individual Patrol Camps.
"For when everything's said and done, that's what troop camping is: the sum of the patrols camping together. In the really well-run troop camp, each patrol has its own campsite, with all the trimmings that make a camp comfortable and easy to run. Each patrol does its own cooking, puts on some of its own activities."
In this photo, Scouts examine a model of a Space Satellite. Those who explore Space are some of the truest descendants of the pioneers of old. Is it any coincidence that 207 of the 312 pilots and scientists selected as astronauts from '57 to '07 have been Scouts or involved with Scouting? Or that 10 out of the 12 men who walked on the surface of the moon were Scouts?
In this photo, Scouts of Italy conquer a snow-clad mountain. Can it get more awesome than that?
Camp Life! It's Scouts cooking over a fire they built themselves, and eating food they cooked under a dining fly they pitched.
Here is a slideshow of Scouts building an Adirondack shelter. When was the last time the Scouts in your Troop built something impressive? Camping in comfort shouldn't be about how much expensive gear you can buy, but how you can do it yourself with skill and ingenuity!
I hope you liked this selection of Scout Photos. Know someone else who'd like them? Feel free to share this post! Thanks for reading ScoutingRediscovered. It's up to you to help spread the timeless principles and values of Scouting and preserve them for the future!
Credit for this selection of photos goes to the photographers of the Boys' Life Magazine. Without their effort and journalism, we wouldn't have these to look back upon.

It's day two of the London shows; the rain has stopped, the sun has come out…and the gale force winds have arrived. Sigh. The weather gods may not be on our side, but that hasn't dampened our spirits. No, not at all!
Today London cranked the fashion dial up a notch, and there were big brands, big celebs, and in one case, a big shoe-meets-dress fiasco.
The day started off in the safe and steady hands of Jasper Conran (one of LFW's founding designers). As we've come to expect, it was a tight and wearable collection. After lunch it was the turn of another LFW stalwart, John Rocha. True to form his mainly monochrome collection featured voluminous skirts, clunky shoes and theatrical tulle embellishments.

At the other end of the spectrum the cool kids were out in force too. House of Holland, Holly Fulton, and J.W Anderson, were all suitably fun, kooky and directional (in that order).

Henry Holland also wins the award for the hippest front row of the day, with Lily Allen, Eliza Doolittle, Leigh Lezark, Coco Rocha, Kelly Osborne and Daisy Lowe all turning out in support.

The big news of the day was Hunter Original's—headed up by Stella McCartney's hubby Alasdhair Willis—LFW debut. The brand, who are best known for their hardy-yet-stylish wellington boots, showed a sleek collection of outerwear, and even managed to make fleece look sexy!

As if that wasn't exciting enough, there was Suki Waterhouse (Bradley Cooper's girlfriend) on the catwalk and the likes of Mary McCartney, Jessie J, Mark Ronson and wife Josephine de la Baume on the front row. Phew!

Speaking of shoes, there was carnage on the catwalk at Sister by Sibling, where not one, but two models came unstuck when their black pointed pumps got caught in their beautiful, yet obviously dangerously impractical, knitted gowns. Ouch.

Welsh designer Julien Macdonald rounded off the day with a beautiful shimmering extravaganza. Fabulous.

Former Smiths frontman Morrisey was rushed to hospital after collapsing with breathing difficuties just minutes after taking to the stage on Saturday night in Swindon.
The singer has now been released from the city's Great Western Hospital, where he received treatment.
After the 50-year-old was discharged on Sunday, the hospital commented that he was "much improved" and that he had only stayed overnight as a precaution.
No details have been released about his condition.
He cancelled gigs earlier in the year due to an "unspecified illness".

Sparkling City mugged by Shrews
St James Park
Saturday 16 August 2008
Attendance: 4,916
Exeter City`s last game against Shrewsbury was a Nationwide Conference battle at Gay Meadow. The home side had much the better of a scrappy game, but two late goals earned City a 2-2 draw and left the travelling Grecians deliriously happy with an unlikely point.
With both sides now restored to the Football League, their first encounter at that level left the Shrews faithful equally amazed to come away with all three points.
'We mugged yer', admitted one guilty Shrew over post-match beers. Whether the confession was heartfelt or influenced by our chanting, raised pitchforks and burning pyre is another matter...
City hit the bar three times in the first half, as the Grecians dominated proceedings at a soggy St James Park.
A magnificent Ryan Harley free-kick was turned onto angle of post and crossbar by the diving Daniels in the Shrewsbury goal. Agonisingly, Danny Seaborne hit the crossbar from the resulting corner.
Towards the end of the half, Harley hit the woodwork again, his ferocious shot from just inside the box cannoning back from the bar with the keeper beaten all ends up.
In the second half, City`s dominance was less stark, but still the Grecians played some fine football. However it was Paul Murray, tricking Rob Edwards to give himself plenty of time 25 yards out, who struck a shot past the diving Paul Jones. It certainly won`t make any 'comedy howlers` videos, but Jonah will be disappointed not to have kept that one out.
At the other end, Daniels produced a miracle save to deny Ryan Harley yet again. The magnificent Harley blasted a free-kick low, hard and clean through the wall, but Daniels somehow reacted in an instant to dive to his right and turn the ball past his right hand post.
As City pressed forwards in the closing minutes, Shrewsbury gave an inkling as to why they`re many people`s favourites for promotion this season. Although their finishing was wasteful, they counter-attacked ruthlessly in search of a second, but had to (her, hum) settle for a 1-0 win.
Weaker sides than City may well get thumped by the Shrews, but, as we now know, this Exeter City side is pure class.

My next door neighbor bought me a spinning wheel. It's a Dutch wheel called Edammertje, one I've never heard of. I see a lot of them on ebay for relatively cheap prices and I understand they're not any of the "big name" wheels, but being that I don't have one and I haven't actually learned to spin yet, it'll be good for learning and practice while I decide if I want to invest in it further. I'm super happy!
I've put it together and have practiced a bit of treadling just to get a feel for how that's done. I'd made plans back in November with a woman I know to teach me to spin on a wheel. We had planned to start after the holidays. I'm hoping I can get some pre-class studying in before we start. I picked up the "Alden Amos Big Book of Handspinning" and "Spin Control" a couple of months ago to read first. I just need to get something to practice with!
From what I can see in the
From what I can see in the photo, you have a single treadle, single drive scotch tension wheel, well constructed. I think you will find that this wheel will serve you quite well. Enjoy!
P.S. I haven't read the Amos book, but from what I have heard he is hyper opinionated- caveat emptor.
it's got a cute name, too.
it's got a cute name, too. basically it means 'little edammer' or 'person from edam' (from my _very_ basic dutch). looks sturdy and like it should give you some good times. enjoy!

I certainly wish I had neighbors like yours. Don't know if the roommate would care much for that 'cause the house would be filled with fluff -- more than what's floating around already with four cats.
Best wishes and good luck learning to spin. It's one of the most fulfilling activities besides knitting itself.
OH, and by the way...
What to my wondering eyes should appear, but a real treadle sewing machine in the background? Oh...memories of me and my aunt. She had one and I a wheel and both of us were fascinated equally by each others' techniques.
Congratulations! Learning to spin is an awesome activity. You'll love it, really.
Very nice looking wheel. If
Very nice looking wheel. If it spins as well as a Louet, you will be turning out fantastic yarn in no time. Big bobbin and yarn orifice is a plus...you can experiment with various types of yarn and not worry about clogging the intake, as well as spin a long time before switching bobbins. Enjoy! -- Books, knitting, cats, fountain pens...Life is Good.

OH MY THE DELIMAS I CAN GET MYSELF INTO!!!!! Dont think I spelled delima right either... Any way. My niece came by yesterday with 12 skeins of yarn in 4 graduations of the same color ( Burgundy, Red,Pink, Dk Blue Med blue and light blue) Yellows and black gray and white. Im thinkin about putting greens with it. So that will be 15 colors. She is getting married in 10mos and asked me to make her a spread on my machine. I have a little Ultimate Sweater Machine that I use some times to knit boring parts of a project. It only does stockingette stitch. Any way I agreed and thought this would be a snap till I started trying to lay out the colors. She wants one of those optical Ilusion jobs and I cant figure out how to map it out. I know I have seen a ton of quilt paterns for something like this but for the life of me now that I want one I cant find it. Or figure out what to really call it for that matter. Its going to be knitted in intarsia in little blocks of 15 to 20 stitches each color. Does anybody know how to do this or where i can find a quilt or knittine graph for something like this. Just a mix of colors wont do she wants a grad so it looks like the colors fade from one to the other. I thought just rows but that looks wonky whit all the colors.
PS I have started the long handles and will post a pic when the get far enoug along to be able to tell what they are. I'm knitting them by hand. And I guess im slow....

Are you sure you want to do intarsia on the machine? Stopping every ten to fifteen stitches to change colors would pretty much remove the advantage gained by the machine, wouldn't it?

Democrat Matthew Frumin's campaign war chest is nearly twice as large as his nearest rival's in next month's D.C. Council at-large race, but Republican Patrick Mara has stepped up his fundraising over the past six weeks, according to campaign finance reports released Tuesday.
The reports come six weeks before the April 23 election, when voters will select a replacement from a field of seven candidates to fill out the term of the citywide seat once held by D.C. Council Chairman Phil Mendelson (D).
After a slow fundraising start, Mara reported raising $55,000 from Jan. 30 through Monday. Mara, who has $53,000 in the bank, received a boost from executives in the parking garage and construction businesses as well as local and national GOP activists.
But Mara, the only Republican in the race, returned a $1,000 contribution Tuesday after questions were raised about the donor. The contribution came from Freedom's Defense Fund, which supports "conservative, pro-freedom candidates against the radical left and elitist mainstream media," according to its Web site.
Among the candidates the group says it has supported is Rep. Trent Franks (R-Ariz.), who has proposed strict limits on abortion in the District.
Elissa Silverman, one of Mara's Democratic opponents, said the donation was "an insult to the voters of the District."
The group vows "to stop Washington D.C. from achieving statehood — resulting in two more liberal members in the U.S. Senate," according to its Web site.
Mara said he planned to return the donation even before Silverman's statement. "We don't Google the name of every person or organization that supports our campaign," Mara said. "We've received hundreds of donations."
Among the Democrats in the race, D.C. Council member Anita Bonds has raised about $47,000 since January, according to campaign staffers. Bonds, appointed by the D.C. Democratic State Committee to fill the seat pending the election, has $45,000 in the bank, they said.
Bonds is running nearly even with Silverman, a former reporter who is on leave from the D.C. Fiscal Policy Institute. Silverman reported $47,000 in the bank after raising $25,000 since late January.
But Frumin continues to crush his rivals, bringing in an additional $46,000 over the period, including a second $10,000 personal loan to his campaign. The former Clinton administration official has raised a total of $123,000 and has $97,000 in the bank.
Meanwhile, former council member Michael A. Brown, who was ousted in November after one term, raised $31,000 during the period. A former independent who is running as Democrat, Brown has $28,000 on hand.
Another Democrat, lawyer Paul Zukerberg, has $15,000 in the bank, and records show that Perry Redd, a Statehood Green Party candidate, reported $1,500 in the bank.

Steve Rodgers on Spring Creek Soundtrack
Requeim for the Reluctant Angler
The first time I fished a spring creek, was with my father. My father was not an avid angler. But from the time I was a toddler until he was diagnosed with terminal prostate cancer, we spent a lot of our time together on rivers. I would love to say that I inherited my passion for fly fishing from my father or that he introduced me to the magic of spring creek angling. But the truth is, the only reason I think my father fly fished at all, was because I did. For him, the appeal wasn't in the chance to land a trophy or the enjoyment of the environs where wild trout are found. No, for my father, it was something bigger than the catch, something more elusive than trout and something more rewarding than angling itself. It was time spent with his son. My father loved me dearly and despite our differences later in life, I loved my father. My father's battle with cancer ended this morning. He passed away quietly in his sleep at Hopsice House. Thank you to everyone for their care and support during this trying time.
My father was, still is and will always be my hero.
I love you Pop, so long and thanks for all the fish.

North Carolina native William Ivey Long is one of the most renowned theatrical costume designers working today. This exhibition, organized by The Mint Museum, explores Long's most recent work, from 2007 to today. It features the theatrical productions The Lost Colony (redesigned 2007–2008), The Mystery of Edwin Drood (2012), Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella (2013), Little Dancer (2014), and On the Twentieth Century (2015), as well as the television specials Grease Live! (2016), and The Rocky Horror Picture Show: Let's Do the Time Warp Again (2016). Focusing on Long's process, it features sketches, swatches, mood boards, and other preparatory materials in addition to the costumes themselves. Because costume design is not an area in which the Mint collects, it provides visitors with exposure to this form of art and allow for comparison of the different goals of theatrical costume and fashion. The exhibition is co-curated by Annie Carlano and Rebecca Elliot.
Develar y Detonar features the powerful, thought-provoking work of more than 40 of Mexico's leading photographers. This not-to-be-missed exhibition examines the wide range of approaches that these photographers use to explore subjects, ranging from their own personal histories and relationships to their engagement with the country's diverse landscape. Develar y detonar promises to open an engaging dialogue around the power of photography to both document and question many aspects of modern life, examining issues that are not isolated to residents of Mexico but that stretch across cultures and borders, connecting us all.
Develar y Detonar is part of a community-wide initiative celebrating Mexican photography titled In Focus/Enfoque, which involves arts and cultural organizations across Charlotte.
Note: Parents may wish to preview the exhibition before viewing with younger visitors.
ArtBreak tours are free, 30 minute guided tours each third Thursday of the month at Mint Museum Uptown, the Bechtler Museum of Modern Art and the Gantt Center for African-American Arts + Culture.
Whether it's an introductory experience for a first-time visitor or a deeper cultural experience for those already familiar with Levine Center for the Arts institutions, the 30 minute tours will provide a brief but focused encounter with art with people who have a limited amount of time-and will allow time to grab lunch as well.
Visitors can choose one of the three museums for each date, and experience a tour structured around a common theme reflecting the nature of permanent collections or special exhibitions on view. (Each theme lasts for three months-enough to experience all three institutions!)
Shortly after he was born in Charlotte, Romare Bearden's family relocated to Harlem. The time he spent immersed in the vibrancy of the Harlem Renaissance during the 1920s forever influenced his career as a visual artist. Especially important was the effect of Harlem's jazz scene, many of whose members were close friends of the artist and his family. For Bearden, jazz, the blues, and folk music were always cultural subjects that epitomized the Black experience. Yet, music was also a creative stimulant for Bearden. He often equated the visual arts to music and the painter to the musician. "The more I just played around with visual notions as if I were improvising like a jazz musician," he once explained, "the more I realized what I wanted to do as a painter, and how I wanted to do it." This exhibition explores and celebrates the impact music had on the visual harmony in Romare Bearden's work.

In the decades between the Great Depression and World War II, the United States underwent drastic changes. The art scene was certainly not immune to these changes and endured its own disruptions. Some American artists opposed European influence to increasingly focus on purely American subjects and document uniquely American experiences. Known as Regionalists, or American Scene painters, these artists absorbed inspiration from their immediate surroundings and captured the exceptional character of every region of the country. This exhibition, culled from a private collection, features the work of more than a dozen artists who developed individual approaches to the changing face of modern American art during the 1930s, 40s, and 50s.

Did Ranbir share his birthday with Katrina?
With his parents away, Ranbir Kapoor apparently had none other than Katrina Kaif to share his birthday cake with
Ranbir Kapoor had initially gone to town claiming his birthday was just another day of the year. However, looks like the actor had planned up something special for his girlfriend to bring in the day. The two spent the night and the following day in a south Bombay hotel. All this while Ranbir's parents, Rishi and Neetu are abroad.
RK returned home to Krishna Raj in the evening, only to leave for a promotional event for Besharam along with Abhinav Kashyap. Later at the event, when someone asked him what Katrina had gifted to the birthday boy, RK shot back, "None of your business."
Post the event, when Ranbir returned home, Katrina was once again waiting for the birthday boy. The couple was also joined by Rohit Dhawan, who dropped by to wish him. An insider says, "The couple stayed the night at Kishna Raj. His parents are not in the country."

My system was installed as GhostBSD 10.3 MATE and I upgraded it to 11.0-RELEASE doing a source upgrade. All packages were rebuilt from ports using the latest versions of course. MATE hasn't been touched for a while in FreeBSD, so I guess that this information is not that important but I wanted to give it anyway.
I'm having problems with the automounting of USB drives. I have a USB key that has GhostBSD11.0-PREALPHA2 on it as I wanted to try that out. I didn't have time for it, yet, and later decided that I'd rather give the Xfce edition of GhostBSD a spin to see what that's like. When I insert the USB key, I'm getting these four error boxes:
(Please click to enlarge)
That's fine as these are not common filesystems, I guess. The problem however is not that these cannot be mounted - the problem is that the EFI partition is being mounted. And not only is it mounted once (which would be ok), but it is remounted automatically if I unmount it!
It doesn't really matter if I unmount it graphically in Caja like this:
or if I do a sudo umount /media/disk/, the result is the same: All partitions from the USB key disappear for a second and then I'm back at the beginning, getting the messages from the first picture again.
This is definitely not the expected behavior that I know from MATE on other systems. Normally media should not be automatically re-mounted unless the USB key was removed and re-attached in between. I have been able to dd another image on it by preparing the command in the terminal, clicking unmount and pressing ENTER on the terminal quickly enough.
BTW: That strange behavior does not occur if I attach another USB key with a regular FreeBSD image on it.
Any clues on what's happening here? I can cope with it as it is now but since I intend to test new GhostBSD alphas, betas and RCs now and then, it's still a bit of an annoying bug. So any help would be appreciated.

14 February: A singular love
Love is deeper than a surface or a sight. Tonight I repeat a very special Lux Radio Theater performance that becomes, as of now, our annual Valentine's Day feature program—even if it wasn't actually performed on Valentine's Day.
Lux Radio Theater: The Enchanted Cottage (CBS, 3 September 1945)
But it should have been. And if even the least sentimental listener isn't gripped or embraced by this tastefully arresting adaptation of the film hit—in which Robert Young, Dorothy McGuire, and Herbert Marshall reprise their remarkable film roles—he or she might be prone to charges of lacking soul.

I am providing here a recap of the first week for those who joined late...
Jab Atankwaadiyon ke mansoobon ke saamne 130 karod hindustaniyon ki iraadein ho… toh desh ke sarhad par kissi ke… kadam toh door… nazar bhi na pad sakein
26th November 2012, Episode 1
The show starts with a footage of the 26/11 Mumbai attacks… Rashmi is watching the TV on 26th November, 2008. She is narrating… that at the time she was able to walk away from the TV, but she didn't know that terrorism will one day arrive at her doorstep.
Elsewhere, in New York, it is shown that Malik and Jeddah are engineering the attack in Mumbai.
They get a message that NSG had contained the Mumbai attack and one of the men were caught. Malik is unhappy. He rages that not even 10% of their aim had been achieved, they should have done everything themselves. Just then, they are ambushed by the police, and a shootout occurs. Jeddah is all for death and glory. Malik reprimands him… it is not the time for sacrifice; it is the time for saving themselves. Malik and Jeddah are trying to escape. Jeddah throws a rope out of the window of the tall building, Malik holds on to the rope and Jeddah is climbing down the rope. The police reach the place. Malik is shooting, but his gun is empty now. A regretful Malik let's go of the rope and escapes; Jidda falls (apparently, to his death)
4 years later in New York…
Malik is in a meeting with several men including his father. Unhappy with 2611, they are planning a bigger, more elaborate attack on Mumbai- 2612. A last attack on Hindustan; last, because after this attack, there will be nothing left in Hindustan. He goes on to say that this will be brought about by the latest atom bomb Nova 6.
Being undetectable by scanners, it can be smuggled through any security check. To activate the bomb, a special detonator microchip is needed.
On entering a secret password in the microchip, the bomb is activated. The making of the bomb has not been officially announced, but the group has got info that it has been successfully developed by a British scientist of Indian origin, Shantanu Sardesai. Malik is asked what he is planning to do. He refuses to divulge the details, saying that they will have to trust him and do exactly as he says.
It is decided to set the plan in motion immediately.
The first target is Shantanu Sardesai.
Senior atomic scientist and mastermind of Nova 6. He lives 2kms away from his lab, with his wife and 6 year old daughter, Suchi. Though they appear happy to outsiders, Ritika is unhappy with her husband as he is a workaholic and does not spend time with his family.
Ritika is at present in India, to attend a relative's wedding.
The show progresses…
Ritika is at the sangeet venue in India, along with her family; Rashmi, Rakesh, Malti, Bittu and her dad.
Rashmi is introduced.
While her family are enjoying, she is unhappy and aloof, she tries to call Shantanu, who is supposed to arrive that evening with Suchi. But Shantanu does not pick up the phone as he is immersed in work. Outside the venue, the gang have their people waiting, and inside, a waiter attaches a bug on to Ritika's purse. Ritika demands a divorce over the phone to a shocked Shantanu. She disconnects the call and asks Rashmi to take her home. The van with the men from the gang follows. Ritika confides in Rashmi about her decision on divorce. Rashmi parks the car. To cheer Ritika up, Rashmi gets out of the car to buy an icecream.
Taking that opportunity, the men drug Ritika and a look-alike takes her place.
Rashmi comes back and Rashmi and Mastaana see each other. Rashmi does register his face.
The lookalike does an about turn on Ritika, and says she has changed her mind about the divorce, and asks Rashmi to drop her at the airport; she is going back to Shantanu to work on her marriage.
Mastaana calls up Malik and says, "Kaam ho gaya!"
New York, Malik's residence…
Malik is preparing to leave for London. A heavily pregnant Shahana smilingly bids him goodbye. Malik refuses to take a gun with him. They are a happily married couple, very much in love, awaiting the birth of their first child.
Ritika (fake) arrives in London. Malik contacts her and instructs her to keep Shantanu under emotional pressure, so that he is incapable of thinking anything else. Suchi is kidnapped from school. Ritika calls up Shantanu and informs him acting distraught that Suchi is not at school. Shantanu goes searching for Suchi. Malik calls him and asks him to steal Nova 6 and the detonator as ransom. Ritika acts hysterical and insists Shantanu does whatever it takes to get Suchi back. Poor Shantanu is torn. To get him to act, Ritika fakes a suicide attempt. Shantanu rushes her to a hospital.
Malik has Suchi hostage. He talks to his father, and asks about finance for the mission. Malik Sr. informs him that the finance has been arranged by a global organization that funds such activities worldwide. Barayah Sheikh, the person in charge has promised the necessary funding on the condition that someone trustworthy from their organization is present at all times, in charge of the security of the entire operation. Malik is not happy; he asks his father who the person is. Just as Malik Sr. says he'll be arriving, someone BOOMS! "woh yahan pahunch chukka hai!" and Jaddah arrives.
Jeddah hadn't died that day. He was saved.
Malik is relieved of his guilt, now that he knows that Jeddah is alive. Jeddah says he has changed his priorities. He now does it for money. He also hints that he resents Malik for letting the rope go that day. Malik isn't too happy with the situation. He says that if Jeddah brings their personal equation into it, the whole operation could go haywire. Jeddah assures him that the operation, of course, comes first. Malik is constrained to accept the situation.
Deewana mujhsa nahi… iss ambar ke neechey…
Aagey hai qatir mera… main pechey peechey…
They decide to leave for Mumbai the next day.
A police jeep cruising along the streets of Mumbai…
Randeep Rathore gets a call! Jeddah's sexy voice in his ear. He is told… "khatra hai… chalne wala hai… 8 ghante mein pahunch jayega… rok sako toh rok lo!"
Randeep asks for the call to be traced. It is done… a number from London.
Malik drugs Suchi. Suchi will sleep for 12 hours. Malik cautions his men to stay separate. They'll be strangers till they disembark.
Randeep deduces that if "khatra" is about to start and will reach Mumbai in 8 hours… then it is obvious that they are arriving by air. They decide to cover all the airports. Security is spiked. RED ALERT!
Jeddah is given the task of taking care of Suchi. Malik says he will cover Jeddah's back back.
Shahana gets labour pains and is rushed to the hospital by John.
Malik and co land at Mumbai airport. They see the heightened security measures.
Jeddah asks Malik to look after Suchi for a while while he visits the restrooms.
Jeddah gathers several parts from accomplices and separate places in the airport, and assembles a gun.
He goes back to Malik and takes over Suchi.
Malik gets a call… it is John, informing him that Shahana is in labour, they are at the hospital, and there is no need to worry. Malik hands over his luggage to Jeddah and walks away to attend the call. Jeddah slips the gun into Malik's luggage.
Malik talks to Shahana over the phone. He gets emotional and is happy…
Malik is caught at the exit.
Malik grabs a gun from a policeman, takes a lady hostage and tries to escape.
27th November 2012, Episode 2
Malik is shot dead by Randeep. Jeddah and party walk out of the airport in the ensuing commotion.
New York- Ayesha is born…
London- Shantanu is in the waiting room of the hospital where Ritika (fake) is admitted.
He is worrying about his wife and daughter. His colleagues come to meet him. His friend Prabhakar consoles him. Shantanu also has to deal with legal formalities too. Somehow he gathers himself together. Prabhakar asks about Suchi and offers to take care of her till Ritika gets better. Shantanu declines saying that he has already sent Suchi to a safe place. Shantanu has decided to keep his problems hidden for now.
Jeddah assumes leadership. Mastaana is not too happy but he is helpless.
John informs Shahana of Malik's death.
Senior Malik is with Shahana. His son is dead, and the operation is halted as Malik hasn't let anyone on the plan. She says Malik has told her everything, and she is the only one who can proceed with it. Her FIL wants her to tell him everything. Shahana is unwilling. She says she will see the mission through but she has two conditions. First, she wants to go to India and head the operation herself. India has to pay for Malik's death. Senior Malik asks her to prove herself by shooting John.
How do we describe this?
"I am sorry, John!"
Malik asks her what is her second condition? She says she will shoot the officer who killed Malik herself, no one else will touch him.
Randeep is giving a talk on Rasin Malik.
RM is a terrorist. He was the mastermind behind the 2611 Mumbai attacks. His trying to enter India is an indication of some big terrorist activity to come. Randeep also says that his being caught also smells of a tip off. RM is an experienced terrorist. He will never travel with a gun. The gun being found in his luggage indicates that he was tricked. The gun was planted in his luggage. Randeep is alerted. He feels something big is afoot. He feels someone will be arriving soon to take Malik's place.
Koi aur pahunchne wala hai Mumbai…
Shahana and Ayesha land in Mumbai.
Excuse me!
28th November 2012, Episode 3
Shahana had dropped her phone. Randeep hands it back to her.
Thank you!
Mastaana is in charge of Shahana's comfort.
Nishant arrives at the airport. Rashmi had called him up. Tired of his failure to commit to their relationship, she had pretended to end things. He is here to set things right. The increased security is delaying him and he is petulant with the police officers. Randeep at first chides him, saying that the police are only doing their jobs and it is for your own security. But then he hears Nishant on the phone with Rashmi and Rashmi cuts the call. Randeep asks Nishant if it is an emergency. Nishant in a miff says it is for him, but Randeep won't understand as he is a policeman. Randeep with a soft smile allows Nishant to leave saying, "basic problem, waise, police waalon ko hi samajh mein aati hai." Nishant thanks him and leaves.
Nishant proposes to Rashmi. His parents are coming to meet her 2 days later.
Shahana takes over. Jeddah is not impressed. Shahana wants to know what happened to Malik… who put the gun in his bag. Malik never travels with a gun. A man answers that probably, there wasn't a gun at all. May be the police just made an excuse to arrest Malik. They must have had some doubts. Shahana now wants to know how come the police had doubts. Did anyone give them a tip off? She immediately thinks someone informed them, and she gives her 1st order… Jeddah will find out who it was.
Someone has left a parcel for Shantanu at the hospital reception. The doctor informs him that Ritika is stable but refusing to take medicines. Ritika gets emotional in front of Shantanu. Rashmi calls with the news that Nishant proposed. The couple stumble while talking to the younger girl, but Ritika smooths it over.
After cutting the call, Ritika expertly sends Shantanu on a guilt trip.
The gang calls up Shantanu and Suchi talks to him. Shantanu is desperate. And he folds..
He is instructed to open the courier he just received…
The slotted pendant.
He is instructed to fit the detonator chip in the slot of the pendant.
Shahana wants to know when they will receive the bomb and pendant. Shantanu begs for some time as he needs to figure out the security in the lab. Shahana chillingly replies, "Waqt bahut kam hai Shantanu… ek aakhri baar apni beti se baat kar lo…"
Shantanu is further tortured by his little daughter's pleading cries… she is crying for him… "Papa, mujhe yahaan se le chalo…"
29th November 2012, Episode 4
Shahana falters for a moment. She is rendered emotional over thoughts of Malik. She calls up Commissioner Dubey posing as Mrinalini Roy, a reporter from Prime magazine. She wants details of Malik's shoot out. Dubey doesn't fall for it, he asks her to call later. Dubey summons Randeep and asks him why the details were leaked… in fact no one knows the identity of the terrorist who was shot. Randeep denies any leak. He alerts Dubey to the fact that it may not be a journalist at all, it may be the terrorists themselves.
(Welcome to the land of bloopers. Randeep in this scene says that only he and Dubey know that the name of the terrorist was Malik… when clearly in the previous episode he identified the body as Malik in front of at least 8 policemen)
London- at the lab, Shantanu tries to find out about lab security.
He informs Prabhakar that he is leaving for a month's vacation. Prabhakar arranges for someone to instruct Shantanu on the security measures.
Shantanu describes the security measures to Shahana and she instructs him how to get through them.
A memory card also has been sent to shantanu's house, which when inserted in his laptop, can be operated by Ritika from home, which will give him 30 minutes exactly… it will freeze the CCTVs.
He has also been sent a box containing fake Nova 6… he is to replace the original ones with these after the detailed scanning which was scheduled for the next day. After that they will be scanned only a month later. The bombs won't be missed till then.
Shantanu wants to know what if something goes wrong, and the fake wife goes into action. She works on his emotions. Shahana advices him to listen to his wife… for Suchi's sake…
As a further incentive, she plays a recorded message of Suchi.
Rashmi refuses to marry Nishant as Nishant's mother had demanded dowry. Nishant and his family leave. Before they do, his mom asks Nishant to take back the necklace he had gifted Rashmi, which he does
30th November 2012, Episode 5
Shahana asks Motiwala to receive a consignment from London. She asks to meet him. She also instructs Motilal to employ Mastaana at the shop from the next day.
Mastaana gets a call from Rinky and leaves. He meets her at the bar where she dances. He plans to elope with her to Dubai after the operation is over.
Jeddah and shekh meet. Sheikh wants the Nova 6 to sell in the international market. He doesn't want Shahana to acquire the bomb.
Shahana is instructing her gang… after Shantanu leaves, they will all split up. No one will remain in Mumbai except for herself. The men are confused. What are her intentions? Shahana refuses to reveal the whole plan. As and when the time comes she will send them instructions. Jeddah isn't too happy. He questions Shahana. She refuses to give him any details, saying that Malik's plan will go on as… planned.
Jeddah calls up sheikh and informs him that Shahana is hiding a lot, it is time to take action. Jeddah and another man has decided on a course of action.
Rashmi is sad about Nishant. Her brother is unhappy for his little sister. He wants to know what to do to make her happy once more.
Arrey! Ee kaa? Actual button cells stuck on a CD?
Shantanu steals the bomb and the detonator chip.
He informs Shahana, it is done. Shahana tells orders him to Mumbai on the morning flight.
I've tried to give a brief account of what happened in the first week… hope you like it!

MEDIA RELEASE: NC has lost almost 20,000 jobs due to trade deficit with Mexico, study finds
Trade deficit with Mexico has resulted in nearly 20,000 North Carolina jobs lost or displaced
WASHINGTON, DC (May 3) -- A total of 682,900 U.S. jobs have been lost or displaced since 1994 as a result of the U.S. trade deficit with Mexico, a new Economic Policy Institute (EPI) study finds. North Carolina has seen a total of 18,900 jobs lost or displaced to Mexico.
Heading South: U.S.-Mexico trade and job displacement after NAFTA, by EPI economist Robert Scott, finds that most of the jobs displaced by trade with Mexico—415,000 jobs, or 60.8% of the total—have been in manufacturing industries. The manufacturing industries that have been most affected have been computer and electronic parts (150,300 jobs lost or displaced, or 22% of the total number of jobs) and motor vehicles and parts (108,000 jobs, 15.8%).
Other affected manufacturing industries include fabricated metal products (39,200 jobs, 5.7%), apparel and accessories (22,100 jobs, 3.2%) and miscellaneous manufacturing (22,300 jobs, 3.3%). Service industries that are supported by manufacturing have also seen job displacement, including professional, scientific and technical services (53,300 jobs, 7.8%) and administrative and support services (50,500 jobs, 7.4%).
The trade deficit with Mexico, which currently totals $97.2 billion, developed after the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) took effect. In 1993, the year before NAFTA was implemented, the U.S. had a $1.6 billion trade surplus with Mexico, which supported 29,400 U.S. jobs. Prior to its enactment, proponents of NAFTA argued that it would create jobs in the United States. Supporters of the proposed U.S.-Korea Free Trade Agreement (KORUS FTA) make similar claims. Although the Mexican and South Korean economies differ, the evidence suggests that KORUS would result in a growing U.S.-Korea trade deficit that would lead to substantial net job displacement.

Mexico celebrates after scoring in its 3-1 win over Costa Rica in a 2014 CONCACAF Women's Under-20 Championship semifinal on January 17, 2014, in George Town, Cayman Islands. (Photo: Mexsport)
Player of the Match presented by CONCACAF's Technical Study Group: Karla Nieto (Mexico)
GEORGE TOWN, Cayman Islands – Mexico broke a half-time stalemate by scoring two goals in the second half to defeat Costa Rica 3-1 on Friday and advance to the final of the 2014 CONCACAF Women's Championship, as well as earn a ticket to the 2014 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup.
The Tricolor, which qualified for its sixth World Cup in seven attempts, will contest the tournament final on Sunday against the winner of the second semifinal later in the evening between the two-time defending champion United States and Trinidad & Tobago. Costa Rica will square off against the looser in the match for third place to decide the confederation's last qualifier for the FIFA event in Canada.
On a rainy afternoon at the Truman Bodden Sports Complex, Fabiola Ibarra broke a 1-1 deadlock in the 67th minute, exquisitely firing a left-footed free kick from 30-yards out on the right wing over goalkeeper Mariela Vasquez.
Six minutes later, Jessica Valadez netted an insurance goal. Vasquez punched away a Jazmin Aguas corner kick, only to see the ball head straight to Valadez, who left-footed it home from eight-yards.
In two all-time CONCACAF Under-20 meetings, Mexico had not beaten Costa Rica outright. Early on, the Central Americans looked like continuing that streak as Melissa Herrera crashed a left-sided corner kick off the far post in stunning fashion.
On their next solid chance, however, the Ticas would go ahead. Shortly after Mexico goalkeeper Cecilia Santiago bobbled a long-distance effort by Gloriana Villalobos, Jazmin Elizondo struck. The imposing Krista Chavarria shrugged off a defender as she dribbled down the left wing and crossed beautifully for the 19-year-old forward to bounce a header into the back of the net.
In the 32nd minute, Paloma Zermeño leveled the score with what was arguably the goal of the tournament. Paulina Solis delivered a diagonal cross from the left wing towards Zermeño, who gained separation from her marker and moved towards the pass. The 18-year-old then instinctively flicked the ball with the outside of her right foot into the back of the net.
With two minutes left in the opening half, Mexico's Jaqueline Rodriguez sent a right-sided cross over everyone to a waiting Carolina Jaramillo. The forward had time, but could not get enough power on the shot, ultimately rolling the ball into Vasquez's hands.
The 2014 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup will be held in Canada, August 5-24.

Bohemia Interactive has recently revealed the release date for the next campaign episode for Arma 3. On January 21st 2014, players will be able to pick up the "Adapt" campaign episode which will pick up where the first episode left off.
Where the first part of the campaign focused on the basics of infantry combat, the second episode will play with the other features of Arma 3's sandbox. As the holidays are upon us, Bohemian Interactive will be releasing some of the episode's sandbox content early as a free update on Steam. Included in this update are three additional vehicles for the Altis Armed Forces faction: the Wy-55 Hellcat helicopter, The FV-720 Mora, and the MBT-52 tank. These as well as other new content will be available on December 11th.
Prague, Czech Republic, Wednesday 4th December 2013
Bohemia Interactive today announced the release date of the second campaign episode for Arma 3. Picking up from where the first episode left off, the campaign is set to continue with the release of the 'Adapt' episode on Tuesday January 21st, 2014.
The official campaign for Arma 3, named 'The East Wind', unfolds over three episodes: 'Survive', 'Adapt', 'Win'. In the first episode, players were introduced to Ben Kerry, a regular soldier who's part of a NATO-peacekeeping mission in the Mediterranean. After a botched withdrawal trapped Kerry's unit on the island of Stratis, in the midst of a flashpoint, they attempt an escape to the neighboring island of Altis.
"While the first part of the campaign focused on the basics of infantry combat, this second 'Adapt' episode plays with the other cool features of Arma 3's sandbox", said Jaroslav Kasny, Playable Content Lead for Arma 3. "Players will find more open and unorthodox scenarios, and with the help of guerrilla warfare, set out to defeat a much stronger enemy."
Before the upcoming holidays, ahead of the second episode's launch, Bohemia Interactive will already be releasing the episode's new sandbox content. Included in this (free) package are 3 additional vehicles for the Altis Armed Forces faction. The Wy-55 Hellcat helicopter has previously seen action with the British Armed Forces, and now provides a maneuverable and armed aerial reconnaissance platform for the AAF. The FV-720 Mora is a tracked Infantry Fighting Vehicle best employed in combined arms warfare. Last but not certainly least, we find the fully new MBT-52 tank, brought in to the round out the faction's war fighting options. The vehicles, plus other new content such as black versions of the MX rifle family, infra-red grenades and the LRPS sniper scope, will be made available on Wednesday December 11th via an automatic update on Steam.
On top of the official campaign, Arma 3 features the massive islands of Altis (270 km²) and Stratis (20 km²), singleplayer showcases, factions showcases, multiplayer scenarios, firing drill challenges, more than 20 vehicles and 40 weapons, 5 factions, an in-game scenario editor, and modding support.
People can purchase the Arma 3 (44.99 EUR/39.99 GBP/59.99 USD) or the Arma 3 Digital Deluxe Edition (49.99 EUR/42.99 GBP/64.99 USD) from Steam and Store.bistudio.com. A boxed version is also available at many of the major retailers.

Lindsay Lohan dedicated some pretty vicious graffiti to Scarlett Johansson.
Apparently LiLo scrawled "Scarlett is a bloody c**t" inside a bathroom stall on a night out with Kate Moss two years ago, and Scarlett is still talking about it.
Not very innovative, was she? If I were going to sink to the lows of vandalism, my art would be much more creative than simple Scarlett Johansson bashing; it would be much more artistic, and not offensive at all, and inspired by something in the slideshow below. In all honesty, I think I'd probably stick to light graffiti.

February 2016 - Carnival Freedom to Caribbean - Western
Parking in the cruise line parking lot was very easy and reasonably priced ($10 per day). The shuttle buses bringing you to the ship were prevalent and the drivers were very helpful. Getting on and off the ship was very smooth. The buffet was all ready when we boarded. Staff was very pleasant but they were always hurried so no time to chat with them. The room and the meals were OK. Variety of entertainment was so-so. Housekeeping in the casino was not very good.
When leaving the ship on Cozumel you are funneled through duty-free shops and then venders so it's like running the gauntlet, very unpleasant. Even in town the venders jump on you everywhere. I gave up trying to buy a ring because the pressure was unbearable.
So no major complaints but nothing inspiring jumps out at me either.

Jon Paul provides enough references materials, websites to visit, books to read and things to think about to take us beyond the grave. She dares to approach even the most difficult topics head on, such as the fear of becoming a burden, losing ones mental and physical capabilities, and even death, the last frontier.

If you are feeling stuck or uneasy about any part of the aging process, this book will provides plenty of suggestions on how to take the next step in your journey.

Sharon told her "The Talk" co-host Julie Chen, "Jack will actually be here on Wednesday to talk about his diagnosis. But he's great, he's doing really, really well."
"He's great; he's doing really, really good," Osbourne said fighting through her tears on "The Talk". "I want to thank everyone for your goodwill and messages."

OPTICAL WORKERS' STRIKE.; Employers Say They Will Not Grant Union Demands.
Members of the Optical Workers' Union, which has been in existence a year, have been on strike for a week to enforce the unionizing of about twenty-five "prescription" shop opticians' staffs. There was no question of wages involved. The shops in question employ about 150 men as "grinders," "solderers," "adjusters," and "assemblers," whose pay runs from $10 to $30 a week.

CLEARWATER - A backhoe operator with Opus South struck a water main Tuesday afternoon while removing part of a sidewalk in downtown Clearwater.
The work was being done as part of a right-of-way improvement project on Osceola Avenue at the construction site of the 25-story Water's Edge condo and retail tower.
Opus South senior project manager Christine Lemons said the company had been allowed to dig 10 feet outside of the building to a 6-foot depth when workers hit the water line, which was repaired later in the day.

Because I am a freelance writer and not bound by an employer's time constraints, I sometimes come unstuck in time. After all, hours, minutes, seconds are artificial constructs, divisions of a ribbon of time that flows on regardless of designations. I hang my sense of what day of the week it is on the girls' schedules (if this is Girl Scouts, it must be Friday), and my sense of hour on whether Emily has had her long walk yet, and how soon I have to pick the Younger Girl up from school.
Needless to say, four-day weeks confuse me. Even when I was working a classic 9-5 day, I found that four-day work-weeks seemed longer than the regular five-day weeks: five days' worth of work crammed into four days seems a high price to pay for a three day weekend. And then there are some days that just seem to need to to be on other days. All weekend long I was certain that Christmas was on Sunday, despite knowing, every time I looked at the calender, that the holiday fell on Monday this year. Which means that today, Boxing Day, would also be Tuesday. But all day I've had this persistent sense that today was Monday. Damned elastic, inconsistent and malleable Time!
All of this is by way of saying, Hey, I'm sorry. I forgot today was Tuesday. I shoulda been here earlier. Hope you all had a grand holiday, regardless of what day it fell on.

Official sources said the state government had recently contacted the central surface and transport ministry, which has asked IIT Delhi to carry out a survey and consultancy services on its behalf.
IIT experts are expected to reach Shimla soon to carry out the survey and consultancy and submit a detailed report on the possibility and feasibility of building and running a metro in this hill station.
Civic officials here are concerned about the growing overcrowding and congestion largely due to the arrival of more and more tourist vehicles round the year, which is expected to grow further even as space is fast shrinking in the congested mountain terrain.
Officials say under the mass transport system, there are options of having a metro train, train bus, line train and mono train.
The survey would explore all these possibilities including the best one suited for Shimla besides suggesting the routes and cost of the entire project, sources said.
Currently Shimla is connected by the century old narrow gauge or toy train from Kalka to Shimla. This 96-km railway track climbs up from the plains to Shimla, located at 2,100 metres above sea level and passes through 103 tunnels.
There is a narrow gauge railway track in Kangra valley connected to Pathankot. Apart from this, virtually no railway network has come up in the hill state since independence.

I now know the secret to getting your home renovated quickly: Money! This way, you don't have to shop around for contractors - you just pick the one with the best reputation and go for it. Oh, and you get to pick out the fixtures and appliances you "like" as a opposed to "afford". Bitter much? Um, yeah, a little. Anyway, hiring a contractor is great, but expensive. Also, hiring a contractor in a city is expensive. While a contractor in a rural area would be happy making 60k a year, one in a city wants to make 120k a year. Therefore, we are charged at least double for their services. Hmph.
When all our "charges" were added up for the renovations we want to do, we were looking a smidgen over what we wanted to spend. OK, we can do this. But, no we can't. Because on top of the tally you have to add in the contractors fees - which in this case were 25%. GOOD GRAVY!!!!!!!! I think we may have to be our own contractors for most things. I am also envisioning us not only demolishing our kitchen, but installing the cabinets as well. At this point the quotes for hanging the cabinets cost more than the cabinets themselves, and yes, I am looking at the right numbers.
I have also realized this "project" is going to take a very, very long time.
Another thing about renovations is that you have to worry about what to do with your pets. We have to cats, Dylan and Nina. Since we don't want kitty paw prints on our floors they will have to be out of the house for a while when they are being re-finished. Next week I have to take them to the vet for their shots so we can board them. I think they are going to hate me. I end this post with pictures of Dylan and Nina:

Today, we are working on our wedding registry.
We are only one hour in, but I've already learned a few important lessons…
- The internet is totally overwhelming.
- Macy's sells things I didn't even know we needed.
- Matt is hilarious and has strong opinions about towels.
- Did I mention that there are things I'm supposed to register for that I don't understand at all??
- Matt really dislikes red towels.
- We need a juicer.
- And an Empire Red KitchenAid mixer.
- Matt thinks the "pebble gray" towels are the best.
To make a long story short, we haven't made a huge dent in our registry BUT we are having a lot of fun.
Which is what all of this should be about.
