Dissecting the dream of the empire? Man Booker winner Kiran Desai. Picture Eamonn McCabe
One of the most respected fixtures of the literary world is the NB column of the Times Literary Supplement, written by the redoubtable JC. Exemplary for its measured ironic commentary, informative snippets and crusading devotion to literary excellence, for many readers it is the first point of call on opening the newspaper - especially now that the letters page, once brimming with recherché repartee, is almost exclusively devoted to authors whinging about their mistreatment in recent reviews.
This week's NB contains an interesting round-up of responses in the Indian press to Kiran Desai's recent Booker win. While British responses to Desai's shock win earlier this month ranged from joy at the way she "dissects the dream of empire, old and new, and lays bare the idea of colonial modernity", to complaints of politically correct opportunism on the part of the judges, responses from the subcontinent, JC reports, toe a line similar to Aveek Sen's in the Calcutta Telegraph:
"Most commercially successful novels by Indian writers are principally written for Western readers, and in being so they tell certain stories over and over again ... and recycle images and vocabularies that give this market what it expects and likes to hear."
Critics' motivations for pursuing one line or another will vary according to their political sensitivities, but the broad disparity between British and Indian responses raises an interesting and somewhat puzzling question, especially so given the Man-Booker's status as a Commonwealth award.
In a case - like the present one - where a novel is explicitly concerned with measuring and minding the gap between Indian and British culture, which line carries more authority? Do the Indian critics' beef about successful Indian novels being tailored to giving us what we "expect and like to hear" actually have more relevance than our own perhaps predictable welcoming of what might genuinely be the softer side of Anglo-Indian literature? If one side - the formerly colonised one - complains that something is a betrayal of post-colonial identity and the other - the formerly colonising one - suggests that all post-colonial nails have been firmly hit on the head, who are we to believe?
As with most literary judgements, the best thing is of course to make your own mind up - it's only a book, after all. But the moral and political nature of the whole post-colonial minefield means that the issues at stake have a bearing on more than just literary tastes. We wouldn't want to think that Britain's occasionally painful but always necessary attempt to strip itself of its colonial attitudes was only half-hearted, contingent on former colonies meeting us half-way. Or maybe we would?

The last time the Rebels boomed: Tascosa hasn't experienced an extended period of success since the 1960s. From 1961 to 1966, the Rebels posted a record of 58-10-3, playing the state semifinal game twice and losing to Garland on both occasions.
3 Key Games
Sept. 6 vs. Amarillo High -- Tascosa still feels like a fish out of water in District 2-5A after being separated from its Amarillo compatriots in the last redistricting. Amarillo High remains the class of the football schools in the city, despite being 4A. Getting a win against their in-town rival might mean more psychologically than any early season district victory for the Rebels.
Oct. 11 vs. San Angelo Central -- Tascosa and Central have played every season since 1998, competing as district opponents most seasons. Tascosa has beaten the Bobcats just three times during that span. Now that Central is boasting perhaps its best team in two decades, the Rebels would love to upset the rival Bobcats.
Oct. 31 at Lubbock Coronado -- It's a matchup between the two lone Panhandle schools in the district. Last year, the Rebels got its only win of the season against Coronado, which also amassed just one district victory in 2012. Both teams hope to improve on that number with a win on Halloween.
Why the Rebels could boom in 2013: Coach Ken Plunk believes he's got a talented senior class and returns enough experience, particularly on defense, to make a difference this season. They played more than one 2-5A foe close last season, and could have been in playoff contention with a couple breaks.
Strength: Quarterback play
Weakness: Inexperience
Players to watch
QB Tucker Davidson, 6-2, 215, Sr. -- Davidson is a dual-threat at quarterback, who experienced plenty of ups and downs a year ago as a junior. He's got a strong arm and is committed to play baseball at Texas Tech as a pitcher.
QB Jacob Biggers, 5-10, 155, Jr. -- The Rebels prefer to use two quarterbacks in alternating roles, and Biggers is going to complement Davidson. He's more of a runner than a passer, making him a contrast to Davidson.
Coach Ken Plunk on the offense: "We struggled offensively last year with the change to the Flexbone. We did play a couple good games down the stretch. We have a lot to prove. We're more experienced than we were last year."
Strength: Experience
Weakness: Depth
Players to Watch
LB Isaiah Lomeli, 5-10, 185, Sr. -- Lomeli is a leader on defense for the Rebels. Linebacker is perhaps the most talented position on the entire team, and Lomeli could be viewed as the standout.
LB Austyn Beasley, 6-0, 180, Sr. -- Beasley is actually the team's top returning rusher, but his most vital role this season could be on defense. He's one of the most versatile athletes on the team.
Coach on the defense: "We didn't play very well on offense last season, but I think we played very well defensively. We just turned the ball over too much on offense and put our defense in bad spots. If there's anything we feel really good about this season, it's our defense."
Special Teams
Strength: Experienced punter, return specialists
Weakness: Inexperience at kicker
Players to Watch
DB Beau Gray, 6-0, 175, Sr. -- Gray might be the fastest player on the team, which makes him a natural candidate to be the team's primary kick and punt returner.
Coach on the special teams: "Tucker (Davidson) will be our punter. He was good last year. Beau can return kicks and has good speed. Our kicker situation is wide open, but we got some guys that we like there."

Trouble at Lazio for Edy Reja and Lotito
"I don't know how long I can go on for" were the words uttered by Edy Reja just under a year ago upon receiving a hail of abuse from the fans following a 1-1 draw against Cesena, and it wasn't to be the first or last time that the Lazio boss would threaten to quit the Rome club.
The last week has been beyond farcical in Rome with the coach tendering a resignation before having it thrown back in his face. All is not well at the club and while the relationship between Edy Reja and Claudio Lotito has been super-glued back together, a departure now feels inevitable.

The problem with Wesley Sneijder
"Inter collapse, now it's a real crisis" reads the headline in La Repubblica over the match report from the San Siro on Friday night, with Diego Costa beginning the piece saying "Inter are a side who are lost". Fabrizio Bocca, also La Rep, allowed himself a single word to describe the result, "Amen". That is to say, that while the current run is shocking it is completely believable and somewhat unsurprising. The root causes of the problems affecting the Milan club are numerous, and well documented elsewhere, but throughout this season and more specifically the recent poor run one aspect of the Inter team has been particularly interesting to follow: the deployment of Wesley Sneijder.

Napoli lack alternative plans, they play like a broken record
Napoli have captured the hearts of fans and neutrals with their performances in Europe this season, but in their domestic games they have conspired to shoot themselves in the foot again and again, and again. In Serie A they have beaten the best but have been beaten the weaker sides as well. So why are Napoli enduring such a mediocre season?

As you were in Serie A – the imminent return of the natural order
Serie A is boring, again. Last season saw an end of season run-in where four sides were potential candidates for the Scudetto. Post-World Cup seasons can often throw up surprises, perhaps because players in the top sides will have exaggerated schedules.
The league enthralled neutrals worldwide as Napoli, Udinese and Lazio chased Milan all the way to the title. This season, though, we are seeing a return to the normality of the pre-Calciopoli era – at one point Inter even threatened to re-assume the position of perennial losers.

Triestina's tribulations – Time is running out at the Stadio Nereo Rocco
After Relegation from Serie B last season Triestina sit a disappointing 11th place in group B of the Lega Pro first division. But the disappointments don't end there for the Trieste based club. The coach was sacked just a few weeks ago and the owners, past and present, have allowed huge debts to accumulate, crippling the club.
A courthouse decision has requested that the club is declared bankrupt. It is a situation which is repeating itself over and over again up and down the Italian peninsula. Time is running out to save Triestina Calcio.

Hello Cynthia Sue Braxton. I recognized your all cap GUSSA. (I was a music major in school so your guitar caught my eye, too! Check out Google's Doodle for today honoring the birthday of Les Paul!)
I was actually working with some of your profiles in a different line. You had a previous account and I have management of some of those profiles. I've been merging some of those old profiles with your newly created equivalents.
If you care to send me some links to the area you mention above, I'll see what, if anything, I can do to help out.
(You may want to delete your message above. It could be reported for language.)
I made an attempt to sort this out, but frankly, it's a mess. There are a number of Elizabeth (Doniphan) Shipps born at different times. There are also a number of Thomas Shipps. It would have been helpful, Cynthia, if you had provided some specific profiles. Further, there appears to be no documentation for any of the various Elizabeth (Doniphan) Shipp and Thomas Shipp profiles, even though some are labeled as Master Profiles.
Cynthia, you had a professional genealogist do research for you. Presumably, s/he provided you with documentation to support her/his research and conclusions. How about adding that documentation to Geni via its source feature so that we all can view it and evaluate it?
Additionally, Joyce (aka the "bitch"), since you have chosen to override Cynthia's information, it would be helpful if you could document your assertions and explain your conclusions. Using the same Geni feature that I suggested for Cynthia, you could share your documentation with the rest of the Geni community.
There will always be legitimate disagreements among genealogists. That is why it is important to document our work.

5. Within the framework of the worldwide campaign of the United Nations on public information in the field of human rights it is being carried out wide scale works in sphere of human. So, it was translated into the Uzbek language and issued more than 100 basic international legal documents on human rights jointly with UNDP, UNICEF, OSCE, ????. It is issued more than 40 legal newspapers and magazines on human rights subjects.
6. In Uzbekistan it was found the system on dealing with complaints, coming as a result of illegal actions by officials, based on the priority of law, including institutional -legal mechanism.
7. In Uzbekistan it was introduced completely new concept of judicial - legal system.
In the field of criminal court proceedings it was taken the following measures, directed at providing courts independence:
- it was carried out specialization of courts on criminal, civil and economic cases;
- it was introduced the institutes of appeal and cassation court proceeding;
- the law reduces terms of investigation and detaining of people, it was established tough terms of court proceedings;
- it was created democratic legal mechanism of selecting and appointing the judicial staff;
- it is functioning the Department on executing court decisions, and courts were freed from functions unusual for them;
- In courts it is provided the competition principle, that is equality of the rights of the public prosecutor and the lawyer;
- according to the Decree of the President it was elaborated legal mechanisms of transferring of sanctions on arrest from Prosecutor to courts, which will enter into force from January 1, 2008.
- Classification of crimes is completely changed, the list of the criminal actions, falling under a category of less severe and out of public danger, is expanded. As a result of such approach only for last 2,5 years about 5 thousand people, committed crimes, that is not generating big public danger, were not imprisoned and they compensated a material damage in amount of 11 billion soums;
- imprisonment conditions were improved: it was softened the conditions in colonies. As the result, a share of the imprisoned people has increased from 7 % in 1990 up to 21 %;
- the quantity of clauses, giving rights to be free before imprisoned time, is increased. At the present moment, according to the quantity of imprisoned (39 thousand) Uzbekistan ranks per capita the best - last place among the CIS countries. In other words, the quantity of imprisoned on 100 thousand population comprises 158 people.;
- the institute of reconciliation, within the framework of realization of justice, is entered into the legislation. Usage of this institute enabled to release from the criminal cases over 26 thousand people.
- according to the Decree of the President organizational - legal conditions for a full cancellation of a death penalty since January, 1, 2008 are being prepared.
For last decade the quantity of crimes, for which death sentences could be applied, was reduced from 33 up to two. Nowadays, the death penalty is applied in two cases - deliberate murder under aggravating circumstances and terrorism.
Thus, Uzbekistan is dealing with the matter to solve this problem from first day of its independence.
It is necessary to note, that in Uzbekistan application of a death penalty is prohibited:
Firstly, to minors,
Secondly, to women and,
Thirdly, to those beyond 60.
Thus, in the criminal legislation of Uzbekistan the quantity of crimes, for which the death penalty can be applied, comprises less than 1 % of total of criminal cases. The present policy of Uzbekistan in sphere of criminal and justice, especially application of a death penalty fully complies with world tendencies and reflects principles of humanism and equity.
On August 1, 2005, the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan issued the Decree ?On cancellation of a death penalty?. Thus, Uzbekistan became the country, where it was abolished a death penalty.
It is necessary to note, that the matter is not the moratorium on a death penalty as it is done in some countries, when sentenced waits for year, but it is about the full cancellation.
Nowadays, in Uzbekistan it is conducted all round of propaganda measures in the sphere of legislature in three directions, directed at canceling a death penalty.
1. Amendments and additions are being prepared to three codes: Criminal, Criminal ? juridical and Criminal ? executive, connected with cancellation of a death penalty and introduction of life imprisonment or long terms of imprisonment.
2. The cancellation of a death penalty will demand to carry out a wide explanatory work among the population, firstly, to change people?s attitude to that problem. As it shows annual sociological survey of the population by the nongovernmental Center sociological studies ????????? ????? more than 75% of respondents oppose cancellation of a death penalty.
3. It is necessary to carry out the organizational - preparatory measures, connected with construction of complexes, creating conditions for the keeping people in arrest, whom life imprisonment or long terms of imprisonment is applied instead of death penalty, preparation of the personnel to work in these conditions.
Therefore for a full cancellation of a death penalty it is required to Uzbekistan more than two years. The death penalty will be completely cancelled from January 1, 2008. The government of Uzbekistan is conducting fruitful cooperation with Committee of UN on human rights, including death penalty issues (a clause 92 of Rules of procedure HRC) in respect of Uzbek citizens, whose cases are on consideration of HRC. For the period it was not executed a verdict.
Throughout the historical period the representatives of world religions and various beliefs peacefully coexist in Uzbekistan. Supreme sense of tolerance is inherent to Uzbek people and it is an integral part of Uzbekistan?s modern culture.
Ensuring the freedom of conscience and belief is of great importance for Uzbekistan but according to some of the observers allegedly it does not quite meet democratic norms. In Uzbekistan, where the representatives of 15 religious confessions reside, all citizens are free to practice their religious beliefs, which is guaranteed by the Constitution and national laws.
The Article 18 of the Constitution has set the equality of the citizens? rights regardless of differences in gender, race, nationality, language, religious, social heritage, convictions, and person or social position.
Adoption of the Law ?On freedom of conscience and religious organizations? on June 14, 1991 has led to the qualitative changes of the role and judicial status of religious organizations.
The Law has reflected new attitude of the State towards religion and believers after a long-term policy of militant atheism, which dominated in post-soviet countries.
In accordance with the Law, citizens were granted a right to practice a religion, to make devotions and rituals, to pilgrimage to the Holy places either individually or collectively.
Adoption of new edition of the Law on May 1, 1998 has become a further step towards the construction of the democratic secular state. It has specifically defined the role and status of religious organizations as well as their interaction with state agencies.
The state promotes an establishment of the relations of mutual tolerance and respect between the citizens, practicing different religions and not confessing them, as well as between different religious organizations. Religious and any kind fanaticism and extremism, as well as actions confronting and aggravating the relations, stirring up enmity between different confessions and sects are not allowed. Having been a secular, the State in its relations with organizations conforms to the following principles:
?to respect religious feelings of the believers;
?to consider the religious beliefs as a personal thing of the citizen or their unions;
? to guarantee equal rights and inadmissibility of persecution of the citizens for practicing their religious views as well for not practicing them;
?the necessity to find a dialogue with various religious unions in order to use their capabilities in spiritual renascence, consolidation common human moral values;
?to accept inadmissibility of use of the religion in destructive purposes.
New policy of the State has provided with more opportunities to develop the activity of different religious organizations on the territory of Uzbekistan. If in 1990 there were 211 religious organizations, and today 2202 religious organizations and 16 confessions are registered in the Republic. There are 2016 Muslim organizations that make 91.5 % out of the total number. There are 170 Christian organizations, 8 Jewish communities, 6 Bahai communities, one community of Krishna followers and one Buddhist Temple.
State registration of religious organizations is being issued according to the Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Uzbekistan ?On religious organizations? state registration procedure in Uzbekistan? from June 20, 1998. The registration of religious organization is going on. For 8 month of this year only 19 religious organizations have got their state registrations, including 17 mosques, a Christian church and a Jewish community.
The Council for confessional affairs was established under the Committee for religious affairs to promote close cooperation with religious organizations. The Council includes leaders of the Muslims Board of Uzbekistan, Tashkent and Central Asian eparchy Russian Orthodox Church, Roman Catholic Church, Union of Evangelical Churches of Baptist Christians, Center of full Evangelic Christian Churches, Evangelic Lutheran churches and Tashkent Jewish community.
Issues of exercising of national laws, preserving rights of religious organizations and believers, as well as other urgent problems are discussed at the meetings that are held by the Council for confessional affairs.
Believers of Uzbekistan freely celebrate all religious holidays. That is why; year-by-year in a wide scale Muslims celebrate Idul Adha and Idul Fitri, Christians - Easter and Christmas, Jews ? Peysah, Purim and Hanukkah.
?oreover, every year believers make pilgrimages to holy places with comprehensive assistance of the government ? muslims to Saudi Arabia for hadj and Umra, christians ? to Russia, Greece and Israel, jews ? to Israel. during the years of independence more than 45 thousand citizens of Uzbekistan were given opportunity to make hadj in Saudi Arabia and pilgrimages to Russia, Greece and Israel. Pilgrims receive a wide-ranging assistance including charter flights, medical care, lowered prices on air tickets, rapid and unhindered issuing of visas.
The Koran, Gospel (2 books of Old Testament (Genesis and Psalter) and 27 books of New Testament) as well as some parts of Old Testament (Solomon?s Parable, The Ecclesiast, 1-4 Books of Reigns, Daniel, Ruth, Iona, Esfir) were translated to Uzbek during the years of independence in Uzbekistan.
In late 2004 the Muslim Board of Uzbekistan and the National Blind Society held presentation of Koran printed with Braille script. Uzbekistan has become the third county in the world that made this noble deed. Approximately 24 thousand blind people live in Uzbekistan. From now on, every special boarding school and public library will be provided with copies of Koran printed with Braille script as well as every one who wish to have a copy, will have an opportunity to do so.
The system of religious education of Uzbekistan includes Tashkent Islamic Institute, 10 madrasahs, Orthodox and Protestant seminaries. In 2004-2005 academic year 122 students studied in Tashkent Islamic Institute, 794 ? in madrasah, 45 ? in Orthodox seminary and 42 ? in Protestant seminary. 46 pedagogues teach in Tashkent Islamic Institute, 231 ? in madrasah, 20 ? in Orthodox seminary and 15 ? in Protestant seminary. There are 32 graduates from Tashkent Islamic Institute, 189 ? from madrasah, 9 ? from Orthodox seminary and 6 ? from Protestant seminary in Uzbekistan.
Tashkent Islamic University was opened in September 1999 in Tashkent.
The Government of the Republic of Uzbekistan makes all the best to provide their citizens with guaranteed right for freedom of conscience.

Spoiler alert! We're about to dig into the biggest, most jaw-dropping moments from Sunday night's TV. If you haven't yet watched a particular show, and don't want to be spoiled, skip to the next!
Once Upon a Time: Are you enjoying your stay in Neverland OUAT fans? It's our second episode back and our gang is facing their deepest fears. We learn that Rumplestilskin (Robert Carlyle) has some serious daddy issues and he has a sweet hear-to-heart with his beautiful Belle (Emile de Ravin) to get to the root of the problem. Okay, okay, so Belle wasn't really there—but Rumple's psyche sure does a great job at conjuring her up in the middle of a dark forest!
Over on the other side of the island Peter Pan has tasked Emma (Jennifer Morrison) with a mission: Admit who you really are. After going through the obvious titles (Daughter of Prince Charming and Snow White, mother of Henry, our Storybrooke savior, etc.) Emma says something that she has kept deep inside: Despite finding her parents after 28 years, Emma has and always will consider herself an orphan. It's a very teary scene that will tug at any OUAT lover's heartstrings. This realization breaks Snow's (Ginnifer Goodwin) heart and she is determined to right the wrongs in her daughter's life, no matter how long it takes.
Oh! And here's our next dun dun duuuuun moment of the season: In an attack with The Lost Boys, Charming got slashed with a blade dripped in dreamshade, a poison that induces a slow and very painful death. Yikes!
Homeland: Carrie (Claire Danes) is losing it (even more so) after last week's I-got-thrown-under-the-bus episode, and after her relationship with Brody (Damian Lewis) was leaked to the press, she went right to the newspaper to tell "her side of the story". Obviously, Saul (Mandy Patinkin) and the CIA can't have this, and since she is off her meds, everyone is worried about her. Saul insists to her family that he is just trying to protect her, but after she tries to tell the committee the truth, she is figured to be alone and is heavily sedated. When Saul visits her in the hospital after she comes to, she has some choice words for him. Well, actually just two: "f--k you."
Meanwhile, Dana (MorganSaylor) continues her tour of terrible teenage choices by sneaking out of the house and breaking back into the treatment center to see her boyfriend. They have sex, and we bet our Mandy Patinkin Fan Club sweatshirts that there was no condom available at the time. Later, Dana visits the garage and in a move that shows how much she misses and loathes her father at the same time, pulls our his rug and does a little prayer. You're going to need it because you are possibly knocked up.
ABC/Bob D'Amico
Revenge: Better watch out Hamptonites! No even God can stop Emily Thorne (Emily VanCamp) when she's out to get you. This week's red sharpie victim? Father Paul (James LeGros). But here's the real reason Emily is pissed with a capital P: Father Paul was once an employee at Grayson Global and helped turned people away from David during his trial. At a mass led by Paul she puts in a picture of him with a woman in bed in the collections basket. Scandalous!
Emily and Father Paul eventually have a heart-to-heart and she realizes that he deeply regrets everything that he did to her father and he has been doing as much good in the community as he can in order to right his wrongdoings. Although she regrets her actions against Father Paul, her revenge got him transferred and forever under superstition. Meanwhile, Charlotte (Christa B. Allen) has been spiraling into a deep hateful depression and Jack (Nick Wechsler) realizes it's because she blames herself for Declan's (Connor Paolo) death. To help alleviate her pain he tells Charlotte all about Conrad (Henry Czerny) and the bomb and just like that—Charlotte's relationship with her father is shattered.
The Good Wife Drinking margaritas and eating nachos is always a fun time—but watching Alicia (Julianna Margulies) and her mom, Veronica (Stockard Channing), drinking margaritas and eating nachos is the best. What prompted this mini fiesta? Veronica overheard Alicia's money problems with Cary and the new firm and secured Alicia's new law offices in a sweet gesture. The mother/daughter duo talked candidly about their past and Alicia took this as an opportunity to confront her mother about why Veronica didn't seem to like Alicia as a child. The entire exchange was a fun way to get a deeper peek into Alicia's past—a rare treat as all Good Wife fans know.
Line of the Night: We love whenever the Once Upon a Time characters acknowledge their Disney personas! Emma mentioned that in our world, Peter Pan is a light-hearted hero while Captain Hook is the crocodile-fearing villain. Hook asked Emma if the Captain Hook in that tale is as dashing as he is, to which Emma sarcastically replies, "Yeah, If wax moustaches and perms are your thing." Luckily Hook doesn't know that a perm is, so he wasn't too offended.

Strong words I know, but sometimes it is better to look at "what is" vs. what "should be"…
The reality is that with the right keyword strategy, then executing on it you will start getting traction very quickly online.
Most of you are small businesses that do business in a very localized area. You don't have a national presence, yet all of your marketing and online marketing is focused on global keywords.
Here's an example…
You are a CPA in Bellevue, WA. All of your online marketing targets terms like Certified Public Accountant, or Accounting Services.
What is the problem with this? Nothing is wrong unless you want to get leads online…That pond is too big for your small business. You need to focus on local marketing terms using local modifiers.
Here are three (3) steps that you can do right now to get your local marketing efforts on track:
1) Write down all of the global search terms used to find you and others in your profession. Use the global terms like CPA or Accountant.
2) Next write down all of the cities, suburbs, and Regions you want to target for your local marketing efforts. Combine all of the terms with those in step 1. You will now have your local marketing keyword list. This might be a lengthy list, but we are going to use this soon to get some real results for you…
3) Open your web browser and go to Google. Type in the different search phrases and write down the websites of the competition in each of these. The best thing to do is to create your local marketing Excel spreadsheet for tracking purposes. Maybe even a tab in the spreadsheet for "competitors".
This process should take about 60-90 minutes. Not much time if you don't want your local marketing to suck. 🙂 And by that I mean more leads for your business.

Happy birthday Kritiii! I can't believe you're turning 16!
Anyway, I hope you receive all the happiness in the world today and in the arriving future.
I still remember our first few conversations. So full of Virat and Manvi. Remember how crazily we used to go on and on about them? Man. It was so magical.
And you instantly became such a good friend of mine, the one who gave me utmost comfort in this new place. You made me feel like I knew you for a thousand years. And for that, I'll have to say a biggg thank you.
You've always been my strength and my inspiration. I have always loved the way you have treated me like your little baby sister. That feeling when you call me Mannu is just so beautiful Preeti.
Our friendship is now almost completing a year. I annoy believe that we met nearly 1 year back. But as they say, time flies. And yes, it really did.
I have always cherished our conversations and gestures for each other. And they are things that will never, ever be forgotten.
I hope you have the greatest birthday today. May god always bless you and make you happy. Never stop smiling and always be cheerful. Because life has limited reasons for not smiling.
I love you loads and loads and loadsss. Thank you, for being there when I needed you. Be there forever, Kriti.
With heaps of love, hugs and kisses,
Aishu says : She's one creative gal <3 :D
Hope you liked them. <3 :)

eddyodwyer replied to l-26x's topic in Ford KA / StreetKA Clubnot a particularly helpful reply, but you'll get them cheapest from a scrapyard, or searching each part on ebay sometimes gives good results. healight cost me abotu 20quid including postage from ebay i think i got everythign else for my crashed one off the scrappy, & mines real good coz they remove em all for you, and you get to see what needs doing to remove/replace the parts. final piece of bad news is that mine had less damage than yours & I paid 175 for it, trailered to my garage. unless its a fairly high spec one, i dont think you'll get £400 for it. out of curiosity, what year, colour & spec level is it? and has it got alloys? i might be persuaded to make you an offer...
a 2nd hand driveshaft is £50 in the scrapyard, personally speaking, i wouldnt even consider reusing a bent one. i did the shaft at the same time as my wishbone, & it IS a diy job, but unless you have a windy gun, you'll struggle taking off the hubnut... new driveshaft seal is about a quid fifty from ford, worth having, i never like reusing old ones, and the hubnut is a couple of quid - again, you can use the old one but i'd rather not. you'll need a crowbar and a !Removed! heavy hammer to take the inner end out of the gearbox too, and make sure you've got something to catch the gearbox oil in when it pops out its a tougher job than the wishbone for sure, but it's still not impossible by any stretch
What Is This?
eddyodwyer replied to Mirage's topic in Ford KA / StreetKA Clubpost the picture again if you're still after an answer & i'll have a look tonight...
i did this myself this weekend, it's dead easy, my part was £24 plus vat from sutton auto factors - buypartsby.com (there was also a cheaper one at £18 but it didnt seem worth skimping on quality for a difference of £6 2 18mm (iirc) bolts to remove - 1 through each bush, holding the wishbone onto the subframe. and then you'll need to undo the pinch bolt for the ball joint - i would replace this one, as mine sheared as i was tightening back up - 3 quid from ford & you'll need a fairly large torx bit to holt the bolt still while you tighten the nut up. (i didnt have one big enough so i tapped a smaller one in with a rag round it & this was sufficient be careful when you come to drop the balljoint out of the hub, when i did my 406 a couple of months back, when i dropped the balljoint out, the driveshaft popped out, spilt gearbox oil everywhere, and i took a brake disk to the face. not fun. the wishbone on the KA is MUCH easier than the 406. dont hesitate to shout me if you've any other questions about it p.s. when i did my wishbone i also did the subframe, driveshaft, and this weekend i'm doing the steering arm. if you find any of these are damaged also, i'd be happy to talk you through any of them. we did the lot for under 150 quid, ford had quoted £500, not including the steering rack. best of luck eddy
for future reference, the subframe supports just the wishbone & therefore the hub. easy to remove, although my driveshaft was broken so nothing was under tension. in the past on my 406, removal of the bottom balljoint left a brake disk in my face, so take extreme car with this one! i'll maybe get some pics of the reassembly incase anyone else is undertaking a similar job
nice one, thanks. yeah if its nackered the mounts i dont think i'll bother buying it, lol this is the part http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FORD-KA-96-99-NEARSIDE-FRONT-SUB-FRAME-/220598713151?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item335cb53b3f
Front Subframe Replacement
eddyodwyer posted a topic in Ford KA / StreetKA ClubI'm looking at the prospect of buying a ka which has had a wee bump. needs a new driveshaft & wishbone which i know i can do, as i've done them before, but it also needs the front subframe doing (passengers side) so i'm curious as to whether anyone here has ever replaced this part? is it a garage job, or can i potentially do it myself? does this part of the subframe support the engine or is it just supporting suspension & steering etc. looks like its a bolt-on part from the pictures on ebay, but i cant find a definative answer as to whether its a diy job or not... any thoughts? cheers eddy

In fall 2008 we moved from "the country" to Villach. There we spent three years in one apartment until we finally moved to where we live now.
In a way I miss living in the country. I took many, many more images of trees, flowers and landscapes there. No wonder, but …
Today we have an exception. This tree is a hundred meters off the main road entering Villach from the south, maybe 150 meters further on is our apartment block. It's near all shops, it's only minutes to the next five supermarkets and so on, but it is almost as silent and rural as "in the country".
Still, it makes a difference whether you only drive by those trees or if they grow in your garden. You give more attention to those in your garden 🙂

Embrace the Winter training!
|Image Copyright - www.louisebardsley.co.uk
So winter is well and truly upon us again – the icy mornings before work, the dark evenings, those weekends where it never seems to stop raining… Not the most appealing conditions to kick-start your new year's resolutions or race preparation!
While it would be wonderful to fly off to a warm-weather training camp (until about April?!) sadly that is not a realistic option for many of us, and will never make up for consistent week-in, week-out training. Time to embrace some indoor training instead!
Winter is the perfect opportunity to work on your weaknesses and imbalances in the gym. Done correctly, this will build not only strength, but resilience against injuries ahead of race season. I have been fortunate enough to work with the Drummond Clinicassessing my biomechanics and mobility over the last couple of seasons. Lead physio Alex knows my strengths and weaknesses within triathlon, meaning I will get different gym programs tailored to my specific weaknesses and the time of year.
I am also fortunate enough to have a membership at David Lloyd Reading, and access to their top gym facilities.While January does tend to get busy with the new-years-resolution frenzy, it's usually the best time to get introductory offers. Tolerate it for a few weeks, and all will be quieter again by Feb ;)
Indoor swimming is, well, the same as summer training – unless you need to practise in a wetsuit! Most pools will allow this (if you don't mind feeling a bit conspicuous) but I would recommend checking first with the lifeguard! I would suggest swimming no more than 1km in neoprene or you can overheat.But then simply practise your race-speed wetsuit removal on poolside, before completing the set in your normal costume.
Treadmill running – the weather has to be pretty extreme for me personally to resort to this! But where the treadmill does come into its' own, is for interval sessions at a fixed speed. You can't drift into a slower pace without realising, which can happen doing km's on the road. A typical session for 10k training might be 4 x 6 minutes at your 10k race pace, with 2 minutes easy jog recovery between each.
And finally - the love-it/hate-itstaple of winter training – the turbo session! It does have a number of plus points over outdoor biking – not having to clean the bike tops my list! But also no need to dress in a dozen layers, lights, helmet etc, and you can have a buffet of snacks and drinks to hand - no fumbling in jersey pockets with numb hands in winter gloves (an art I have been mastering on my long rides!)
If like me you cycle to work, why not make it super-efficient by turbo-ingright before you leave home, and use the commute portion as a cool down? Or if you prefer evening training – cycle home from work as your warm up, then jump on to the turbo for the main set (which ideally will be set up ready to go). The easier you make the logistics, the more likely you are to do the session - since we all know starting is the hardest part!
You also don't need to spend loads or have all the latest gadgets – although there are advantages to Wattbikes, Computrainers, power meters and so on, especially if you are motivated by numbers! But this all costs money, so at the moment I just use HR as my intensity guide, and a very old second-hand turbo!
Coaches will often set cadence targets for intervals - my solution for this was setting up all the playlists I need using songs of the correct bpm (currently that's everything from 50bpm to 110!) Genius money saving, I thought!

Neve Campbell surprised Mad Men fans on Sunday night with an appearance on Don Draper's plane, and the surprise was a good one.
The Scream star played a sexy passenger on the flight who happens to be seated next to our favorite womanizer, and the role was one we haven't seen her play before: bold, flirtatious, and seductive. For Campbell, who got her start on the Fox hit Party of Five in the '90s before moving on to Wes Craven's horror trilogy and a little film that involved full frontal Kevin Bacon, the chance to play a worldly woman in the late '60s was made all the easier by the wardrobe.
"I had fun with wardrobe," she said. "I was able to express what felt good and what felt right. [Showrunner] Matt [Weiner] is so detail-oriented that he chooses the hairstyles and makeup for every character. So when I got to the hair-and-makeup trailer, there was a picture of a woman in an old article from the '60s, and that was the hairstyle that we were doing. That was really interesting, because normally you have some room for a voice in this. But at the same time, there's a reason why the show has done so well, and a big part of that is obviously how specific and detail-oriented [Matt] is in what he does
The final season of the show--which premiered on Sunday--is of course kept tightly under wraps, so Campbell can't speak about whether she'll be seen again on the show, but judging from the reaction on Twitter, fans are hoping she'll be a regular.
"When you're given a threat by Matt Weiner, it's not that tough to keep a secret," she said. "They're very good at keeping things top secret on the show. When I first got to set and was in the hair-and-makeup trailer, someone said, "Oh, Matt Weiner's coming down to talk to you," and the hair-and-makeup people said, "Oh, he's coming to give you the super-secrecy speech." I said, "What's that?" They're like, "You'll see." And he did. He came down and gave me a big speech about the importance of keeping things hush on the show, and keeping things entertaining and fresh for the audience, which I completely respect, and how much they need people to not say a word. And then I had to sign a waiver as well. That's how it goes."
@littlesistr I've just realised that was Neve Campbell sitting next to him on the plane. She was great.

I was happily surprised to see Neve Campbell in the season opener of #MadMen. I *definitely* hope she's in more episodes.

Passover, yes. But today is really all about #NeveCampbell on #MadMen
— AJ Tannen (@AJTannen) April 14, 2014
Well, Hello Again #NeveCampbell!! Nice Surprise! @MadMen_AMC #MadMen #JonHamm

Action from the Amway Canadian Championship game between the Ottawa Fury and visiting FC Edmonton (right) on April 23, 2014. (Photo: Steve Kingsman)
OTTAWA – The seventh Amway Canadian Championship opened Wednesday with a 0-0 draw between the Ottawa Fury FC and visiting FC Edmonton in the first leg of their preliminary round series at Keith Harris Stadium.
Ottawa made its debut in the competition, which crowns a national champion and qualifies a team to the CONCACAF Champions League.
In a match played at a feverish pace between two North American Soccer League sides, the host had the first scoring chance in the seventh minute, when a Philippe Davies header forced Edmonton goalkeeper John Smits into a save.
The active Davies came close again in the 27th minute, shooting just high off a volley.
FC Edmonton's Darryl Fordyce nearly broke the deadlock four minutes later, but his curling right-footed effort was stopped by Fury goalkeeper Devala Gorrick.
Shortly after the break, Ottawa went on the attack as left-back Maykon sent a header just wide of the Edmonton net.
Gorrick came up big again at the hour mark, thwarting an attempt from Michael Nonni,
In the 67th minute, a scramble in the Edmonton box saw Mason Trafford miss narrowly.
With five minutes left in normal time, Drew Beckie made a game-saving tackle on FC Edmonton substitute Frank Jonke, who looked to have a clear route to the net.
Deep into stoppage time, Jonke uncorked a shot that pressed Gorrick into the save of the match to preserve the draw.
Ottawa will travel to Edmonton for the second leg next Wednesday at Clarke Stadium.

- I'm learning
small lessons in adapting
(and readapting) to reality, a step at a time. I won't lie, I've had some challenging, even panicked moments, being confronted with the culture shock of the way millions are forced to live and cope in most of America, and not by choice. The future of our country looks bleak right now, but all we can do is stay focused on the immediate steps before us, and filter out as much of the discouraging noise as possible. It's a modest hope of rebuilding something out of ruins. Or, at the risk of sounding clichéd, "if you're not dead yet, you're not done yet."
Joseph Campbell's classic mythological vision
, we now emphasize the community over the individual: favoring community initiations, the community journey and the community as hero (W. Paul, 2017). Today, there is more resources and power in the group and often too much short-term selfishness and corruption with individuals.
Remember: "Power to the People?"
* * * * * * *
is a belief or behavior passed down within a group or society with symbolic meaning or special significance with origins in the past. A number of factors can exacerbate the loss of tradition, including industrialization, globalization, and the assimilation or marginalization of specific cultural groups. We learn to create and share customs and traditions from our family and key institutions. But are these traditions still healthy for our communities?
Making new tradition is a combination of tiring of old ways, social alchemy and experimentation. The new traditions that follow are reactionary and survivalist in scope:
I. Community Initiation - Sea Level Rise Action in Coastal Areas -
: Survivalism as lifestyle as constant environmental disasters bring daily extinction of species
New Tradition
: Governmental / Citizen / Corporation Fear and Collaboration
Permaculture Ethic
Earth Care
Sea Change San Mateo County
is an initiative by the County of San Mateo to provide resources to local governments and agencies within the County on the issue of sea level rise. Learn from climate change communications experts on effective ways to find common ground and work collectively towards finding solutions to the impacts of sea level rise. We will share provide tools and methods to assist you in engaging others in taking action and preparing for sea level rise.
* * * * * * *
II. Community Journey - Resilience and Inclusive Citizen Programming -
: "Taking down the fences" - do you trust to work with your neighbors?
New Tradition
: Volunteer Work as Permanent Vocation and Community Celebration
Permaculture Ethic
People Care
Daily Acts
sponsors The Community Resilience Challenge, an annual community mobilization campaign that has inspired thousands of citizens, leaders and groups to take practical action to save water, grow food, conserve energy, reduce waste and build community. From 2010-2015, more than 5,000 people have registered 21,500 resilience building actions in Sonoma County!! People are raising chickens and bees, installing their own rain harvesting barrels, nourishing their food forests with drip irrigation, and building soil health in order to fight global warming (and grow more nutritious food). Businesses are starting lunchroom composting bins and citizens have organized their own sustainability events in support of their passions, like building a rocket stove or touring water conservation in action. A tremendous 2,149 Sonoma County students walked, biked, or skipped to school for two whole weeks to reduce the number of cars choking our roads while reducing emissions, breathing fresh air and getting exercise. We couldn't be more proud of you Sonoma County!

In mid-October, at a City or County Park, citizens are asked to bring a cup of soil from their boulevards for a tree planting ceremony where they will plant 4 - 12 sapling fruit trees in a Peace Circle. A lesson on composting is included. The second part of the celebration combines the values of the local shelter program with the food bank network. Neighborhood folks canvas their piece of the local world, meeting and greeting and asking for donations - a new twist on the old trick and treating. Finally, before a neighborhood supper, people meditate on the synergies and lessons learned from the program and how ASD might be permanently expanded into their neighborhood ecosystem and their personal priorities.

just browsing through the articles i came across a few mentions of worker jackets for the spring.
I recently bought myself a dark blue denim jacket, which i am already loving, but i dont want to wear it every day - and also i want to get away from the predominantly blue, black, grey of my wardrobe.
So i found this -
MARSHALL ARTIST Work Blazer - Flannels
I think it will go well with jeans, chinos, boots and pumps - so seems a good all rounder at a canny price. Thoughts...?

UH promises to rebuild trust with Victoria
July 13, 2011 at 2:13 a.m.
Updated July 14, 2011 at 2:14 a.m.
It's now or never when it comes to repairing the University of Houston's relationship with Victoria - and the outlook is promising.
That's state Rep. Dan Branch's takeaway after the meeting he called Tuesday between legislators, Victoria community leaders and representatives from University of Houston and Texas A&M University.
"If we go another six months and there's not some serious communication and action and rebuilding of trust and relationships, then I will not be optimistic," he said Wednesday. "I hope this meeting is a wake-up call for more proactive outreach by the UH system to Victoria and perhaps also for Victoria maybe to be a little more patient in growth plans."
State Rep. Geanie Morrison proposed a bill in the last legislative session that would move UHV from the University of Houston to the Texas A&M University System. The bill was in response to concerns among civic and business leaders in Victoria who thought UH was not on board with the community's vision for expansion and growth into a destination university.
"If there's a perception ... that there's not been enough effective communication and attention from the UH system to Victoria, then to me perception is reality," Branch said.
Branch, a Dallas Republican who's chairman of the House Higher Education Committee, said he thinks there's a window of opportunity to address problems between Victoria and UH, especially with the appointment of Philip Castille, the new UHV president. He said he hopes UH leaders, from trustees to the chancellor's cabinet, make an effort to visit the Victoria campus more often.
"A lot of people were taking notes, and then at the end, there was acknowledgement by the U of H leadership that they need to do a better job," Branch said.
John Antel, the vice president for academic affairs and provost at UH, said the meeting helped restore a damaged line of communication.
"The U of H System was there to listen, and we got a lot of good information," Antel said. "I thought for the most part, there's a real prospect in terms of moving forward."
The three-hour meeting on the UHV campus started out mostly vague, but soon details were flying.
"The constant refrain I got was better communication and improved student housing," Branch said.
One concern brought up was the lack of communication concerning the removal of UHV President Tim Hudson right before the 2010 school year - the first year the institution became a four-year university. Hudson had been vocal about his plans to grow UHV, and the community seemed to be behind his long-term vision.
Branch said state Sen. Glenn Hegar, who opposed Morrison's bill, has been encouraging the governor to consider appointing a Victoria-area regent to the UH board, which would hopefully contribute to the improved communication, as well.
Antel had the last word at the meeting, and Branch said he spoke at length about UH's commitment to rebuild the trust between the university and Victoria.
Antel said all UHV stakeholders will gather to work on a business plan for the university that will better collaborate Victoria's visions and UH goals.
He declined to elaborate with details but said, "I can tell you that the U of H system is committed to the downward expansion and the success of the destination university."
The soaring enrollment numbers at UHV excite the host system, but Antel said UH has to be realistic about how quickly the university can expand in tough budget times.
"Everybody agreed that (we'll) try to get off the negative and move forward," Antel said. "The history is history."
Branch said rebuilding the relationship will require trust, and gaining trust will require action from UH. It's now up to this group of leaders to continue the dialogue. Branch said he encouraged UH representatives to deliver their message back home in a hurry.
Branch said representatives from the A&M system were also at the meeting, taking their own notes.
"I got a strong sense that if the U of H system doesn't get in here and get their hands dirty in Victoria soil, that we're going to have a problem," Branch said.
Frank Ashley, Texas A&M's vice chancellor for academic affairs, was at the meeting but did not return requests for comment.
UH Chancellor Renu Khator is out of the country and did not attend the meeting.

Warning---this is an unpleasant story, but thankfully has a very happy ending. This is Joey. He is a 5-6 month old puppy that was used as a bait dog. When it was discovered that he didn't have the temperment for fighting, he was put in a black plastic garbage bag and thrown out the window of a moving car. Thankfully, a passing motorist heard his cries and called the authorities. He was sent to an animal emergency hospital where he was found to have a broken neck (in 3 places), bite wounds on his neck and a skin infection on his paws. It was uncertain whether he would ever regain the use of his legs. He was malnourished, 20 pounds underweight and full of fleas. Fast forward 2 months and although he still has more healing to do, he has made a remarkable recovery and was adopted by the vet that saved his life. Just a few weeks ago, I was one of many that had the priveledge of meeting Joey just before he went to his forever home. It was amazing to see this beautiful spirit in person. He was gentle and sweet and loving and obviously forgiving towards humans. I'm not sure I myself would be able to forgive the treatment he endured. He is a lesson in forgiveness we could all learn from.
