Client: Agent Provocateur
From Kylie riding a mechanical bull to Kate Moss stripping off, saucy knicker brand Agent Provocateur has never played it safe. And its latest viral video, The Call of the Sirens starring supermodel Karen Elson, doesn't disappoint. Elson appears as queen of the sirens alongside a bevvie of scantily-clad beauties in a mist-wreathed forest to promote Agent Provocateur's spring/summer lingerie and swimwear campaign. The viral depicts 'a decadent world where women are bold, fearless and liberated and men enslaved to attend their every whim', according to the brand.In one scene Elson subdues a knight who lies prostate on the floor, while in another she pins a male model to the floor with her stilettos as she's crowned with a thorn wreath.What do you think of the campaign? Is this more of the same old 'shock' from Agent Provocateur or a steamy shoot guaranteed to get pulses pumping? Let us know and be in with a chance to win a bottle of Champagne in our 'Review of the Month' competition.

The event posed more questions than answers but these were important questions, questions which needed to be asked.
When I left that wonderful evening on September 11, 2004, I was filled with hope. Sure, we did not all agree on everything, but was that a necessary component for our working together to uncover the truth? Yes, there were some egos that were larger than the event itself, but isn't that to be expected in the world of personalities? If we all had the same goal, couldn't we band together in deference to the old adage "there's strength in numbers."
It has been nearly four years since the planes flew into the towers. Has any progress been made? The mainstream media continues to ridicule the truth seekers. The mainstream media continues having the audacity to print bogus articles in such magazines as Popular Mechanics. It shies away from interviews with authors who have published well researched and well documented books on the subject of 9/11. Perhaps the mainstream media realizes that it is no match for the truth. After all, how loud can Sean Hannity yell?
As the days grow into years, my sphere becomes increasingly populated with others who share a commitment to the truth. The Internet has brought a vast assortment of like minded people into my world. I will be eternally grateful to this global telephone. Those I have met have provided a "net" to catch me from falling into the abyss of despair.
Everyday people may sense something is wrong but they prefer to chase it quickly from their thoughts; feeding their families, making a living and watching television are their rituals and routines for survival. I cannot fault them. I cannot hit them over the head with my "two by four" of Judytruth. I cannot evangelize them into the 9/11 movement. This is something I have slowly learned over the past several years. This is something I am still learning.
Will we ever uncover the truth about September 11, 2001? Please do not expect a Hollywood ending from my pen. Should we give up? A resounding "NO." We owe this much to the victims of 9/11, their families and future generations of American

DJ Rare Earth Minerals PLC Strategic Stake Purchased in Auroch Minerals
RNS Number : 7721Q
Rare Earth Minerals PLC
02 December 2016
Rare Earth Minerals Plc
("Rare Earth Minerals" or "REM")
Strategic Stake Purchased in Lithium Explorer Auroch Minerals
London and New York listed Rare Earth Minerals Plc (AIM/ISDX: REM, OTC: REMMY), is pleased to announce that it has subscribed for 6.5 million new shares at AS$ 0.10 per share in Auroch Minerals Limited ("Auroch"), a company listed on the Australian ASX.
-- Rare Earth Minerals has agreed to acquire 7.7% of in Auroch through a AS$650,000 share subscription
-- Auroch focusing current activities over five prospecting license, which have been applied for, in Namibia which are highly prospective for lithium
-- Auroch has a strong financial position: A$6.4 million in a cash and A$2 million in receivables
-- Auroch's balance sheet will be used to support an aggressive exploration programme targeting high-grade lithium deposits in Namibia
Andrew Suckling, Executive Chairman of REM, commented:
"Rare Earth Minerals continues to deploy its expertise in identifying value investments in highly prospective lithium plays. We will leverage our mining, marketing, and lithium industry knowledge and experience to provide continuing support to Auroch, and to assist management and develop these prospects rapidly up the development curve. We look forward to a close collaboration with the management of Auroch as it develops its lithium interests."
Use of Funds
The placing funds, along with Auroch's existing cash (combined $6.4 million) will be used in part to fund an aggressive exploration and development programme, targeting high-grade lithium in pegmatites, similar to those that have been successfully commercialised in western Australia over the last three years.
Auroch is currently focusing its activities over five Exclusive Prospective Licenses ("EPL") in the Karibib area of Namibia, which have been applied for. The license applications focus on a region that has strong geological evidence of a significant number of late tectonic granites and associated Lithium Caesium Tantalum pegmatite swarms. Ninety percent of Namibia's historic lithium production comes from this terrain and geological mapping by the Namibian government has identified over 100 pegmatite occurrences in the area. Auroch believes this project represents an exciting early stage lithium exploration opportunity, in one of Africa's most stable and mining investment friendly countries.
Details of Auroch's Share Subscription
Rare Earth Minerals has agreed to subscribe for AU$ 650,000 at AU$ 0.10 per share as part of a placement in Auroch for a total of AU$ 750,000 at AU$ 0.10 per share together with half an option with each share subscribed for. These options are exercisable up and until the 28 October 2018 at an exercise price of AU$0.20. As part of the subscription, Rare Earth Minerals will receive options over a further 3.25 million shares at an exercise price of AS$0.20, valid until 28 October 2018. It is anticipated the completion of this financing will occur in early December 2016, at which point Rare Earth Minerals have agreed to voluntarily escrowed their shares for a six-month period.

Editorial ramblings
Tom sent me this e-mail
just to let you know revised V5 arrived today and all correct so my/Mike Meakins approach works!
I'm now back in Ireland for a few weeks during which time I hope to get my build restarted and, with luck, finished some time this spring. I have to come to UK for a few weeks in March but will crack on when I return to the build. I have to say I admire Tom for getting on so quickly with his engine conversion. I noticed the date - 2006 - on some of the photos I took of my small block Moto Guzzi adapter. Where has the time gone?
Found this site on the web about two Pembleton builds - anybody know more about them?
I got this e-mail from Steve in USA
Just a thought......I was searching for kit car rules here in the US and up popped a wiki link, when examining it this is what I found. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pembleton_motor_company Looks like they're simply waiting for someone to link the pembleton.co.uk website to this entry?? Just a thought........
Steve Hammatt
I wrote something but couldn't upload it. I also had doubts about the originality of a wiki about a company after reading the wiki rules. However a lot of unlikely car companies are there - Morgan and Westfield to name but two . I'm not sure if its worth pursuing but if someone is prepared to do a bit of work and get it onto wki I won't feel offended!
This is what I generated in wiki speak.
{{Infobox company | company_name = Pembleton Motor Company | company_logo = | company_type = Manufacturing Company | foundation = 1998 by Phil Gregory | location_city = [[Bayton|Bayton, Kidderminster, Worcestershire DY14 9LP ]] | location_country = England | location = | industry = Automobiles | products = Supersport, Brooklands ''see Models'' | homepage = [http://www.pembleton.co.uk/PMC.html Pembleton Motor Company] | footnotes = }} '''Pembleton Motor Company''' is a manufacturer of two-seater, open top sports kit cars with a 1920s vintage look. The car is self-built using a supplied chassis. ==History== The car was conceived as a cheap way of going to Ireland by ferry. It was built in about four weeks and Phil had a successful holiday in Ireland. The original car was clad in aluminium sheet rescued from a Perberton caravan. The name was later changed to Pembleton. Total production to the end of 2011 is about 340 for the two models split about 2:1:: three wheel supersport:four wheel Brooklands. ===Specification=== One donor vehicle (Citroen 2CV or Dyane) is required to complete the car. The chassis is ready to accept the all major components and in no time will be on its wheels. The body panels are cut from aluminium using the patterns supplied. This is straightforward requiring no special tools. There are no compound curves and the build will be extremely satisfying. Every effort has been made to keep 2CV parts as standard thoughout, resulting in a cheaper build and more reliability. Long or short-wheel base 3 or 4 wheel chassis are available. All incorporate a steel frame arround the cockpit, and there is a comprehensive list of extras which include full weather protection with V screen, hood, side screens and tonneau and ready cut aluminium panels. The professionally designed tubular space frame chassis with stressed aluminium skin accepts 2CV mechanical components, world famous for reliability. With good luggage space, comfortable ride and driving position, powerful brakes and predictable handling, the Pembleton can meet the demands of todays's motorist, while providing the exhilaration of a 1920s open top sports car and any tour can be undertaken with ease. With a possible build weight of 300kg the car is exceptionally light. This reduces the stress on all the components resulting in a large improvement in performance and handling while leaving the engine in a reliable state of tune. Combined with new suspension geometry (requiring no detrimental additions such as anti-roll bars) this makes the car a delight to drive. Engine options of Citroen, Moto Guzzi and BMW give a power to weight ratio ranging from 118 to a thrilling 300BHP per ton. ===Models=== gallery Image:Supersport2cv.JPG|Citroen 2CV powered Supersport Image:SupersportMG.JPG|Moto Guzzi powered Supersport Image:Brooklandsbmw.JPG|BMW powered Brooklands /gallery ===Magazine Reviews=== * Kit Car reviews the Pembleton Super Sport, published July 2001 * Which Kit? reviews the Pembleton Super Sport, published January 2002 * Which Kit? - A reader's Pembleton Super Sport, published March 2003 * Complete Kit Car reviews the Pembleton and interviews Phil Gregory, published June 2008 * Kit Car article on Mike Meakin's Pembleton Brooklands build, published July 2009 * Kit Car reviews the Pembleton Super Sport, published July 2010 ==External links== {{External links|date=March 2012}} ===Official=== * [http://www.pembleton.co.uk/PMC.html Pembleton Motor Company page on the Pembleton Enthusiasts website] ===Clubs & Forums=== * [http://www.pembleton.co.uk Pembleton Enthusiasts] * [http://www.pembleton.co.uk/bulletinboard/ Pembleton Enthusiasts forum] ===Build Diaries=== * [http://pembletondaytona.blogspot.com/ Bob Gilpatrick's blog of his second Pembleton build] * [http://www.11tinkers.com/Brooklands_Hom.html John Ward's Brooklands build diary] * [https://sites.google.com/site/siggyssite/home/pembleton-grasshopper-build Pete Sidle's Supersport build diary] * [http://www.thepercivalls.com/page3.htm Avion Flyer's build diary]

A criminal investigation into IT contractors employed by dozens of House Democrats is sparking broader issues about continuing entry to sensitive authorities emails, amid new allegations of illicit activity beyond Capitol Hill.
A potential new homeowner or business owner often consults with two or three contractors and requests bids from each. A giant contractor may need a bidding division that analyzes projects and submits bids. Small contractors figure their own bids. If chosen, the building contractor handles all the pieces from acquiring permits, assembly with Home Owners Associations, or HOAs, ordering materials, scheduling code inspections and overseeing the construction.
Ask for an inventory and deadlines that can assist you keep on schedule concerning when it is advisable make choices and store for materials. When do you'll want to decide on a pattern in your backsplash or what fashion cupboards you need? Knowing about these items ahead of time will assist keep all the pieces on schedule and keep away from quite a lot of standing around while selections are made.
A contracting firm is usually a single, self-employed individual or a large corporation with a board of directors, supervisors, site and venture managers and workplace staff. The dimension and scope of a contractor's enterprise usually correlates with the necessity for housing or enterprise growth the place the contractor lives. In small, rural areas, a contractor may make use of a handful of framing carpenters and subcontract with specialty contractors who provide other development companies, similar to excavating, roofing, electrical and flooring. There is not any set organizational customary for contracting firms.
Call suppliers to find out materials prices. Part of the contractor's estimate includes the price of supplies. However, most contractors include a top level view of the materials price for a full accounting of the project. Since some contractors can get carried away with marking up costs, you might wish to call the suppliers yourself to find out how much the materials value with out the mark-up. This will assist you figure out if the contractor's mark-up is reasonable. Be leery of actually low costs. Everyone desires a reduction. That can be a good factor, but the price for materials is not going to range wildly enough to make up for a nasty job.

Well, the flu got me. It hit me hard. Today is the first shower I have had since Monday. I didn't even have the strength to just stand in the shower. My whole body ached, and my throat felt as if I had used sandpaper on it. I am certainly not well yet, but I feel oh so much better today, and now know that I am not going to die. I think it will be a while till I am 100 percent. I'm telling you all this because, needless to say, I didn't have it in me this week to cook. That being said, I will share some dessert recipes from the past that you might want to think about for Valentine's Day.

Rigging jobs are becoming more complex and in demand due to the rapid growth in mobile phone and internet use, the national broadband network rollout and frequent upgrades in technology. Telecommunications systems are continually needing to be installed, repaired and upgraded, with outdated equipment recovered.
Vision and sound appears on our screens faster and faster, with ever higher definition. Of course, while our devices may be wireless there is still a massive and complex hardware infrastructure getting the data to us, especially in vast and unevenly populated Australia. Telecommunications rigging services and projects install and maintain this infrastructure. That translates into lots of rigging jobs.
Telecommunications rigging is a specialised and dangerous part of information and communication infrastructure installation and maintenance, with working on poles, rooftops and towers necessitating specific "working at heights" training and rigorous workplace safety standards.
Job titles include:
– installer of radio telecommunications equipment on structures
– installer of radio structures, equipment and cabling on radio towers
– telecommunications rigger tradesperson
– telecommunications lines workers
– 'telco riggers'
Certificate in Telecommunications Rigging
The Australian Government provides accredited Certificates in Telecommunications Rigging Installation, available through TAFEs and other institutes through both Government schemes and supported by specific companies such as Telstra. With this qualification you'll be ready to work in rigging solutions and support on major projects [the basic Certificate II can also be followed with a Certificate III].
Rigging is a highly specialised area of the installation of telecommunication equipment on high structures including radio towers. An operator uses rigging skills to install and maintain radio antennas and build and mount sections of radio masts for a complete radio structure [https://training.gov.au/TrainingComponentFiles/ICT10/ICT20510_R1.pdf].
The National Standard for Licensing Persons Performing High Risk Work applies to persons performing dogging and rigging work, while the ACMA is the statutory authority for cabling and rigging. Some cabling and installation work is part of construction work, so you'll need to get a White Card by completing the general induction training program.
Training focuses on work health and safety in a telecommunications rigging environment, as well as environmentally sustainable work practices. Course units include a working at heights course, using safe rigging practices to climb and perform rescues on telecommunications network structures and towers; how to install and test an internet protocol device in convergence networks; how to install satellite and terrestrial antennae.
You'll also learn how to work with different types of cabling like fibre optic, coaxial, and metallic conductor cable. Riggers need to be proficient in identifying faults using ohmmeters, voltmeters, transmission measuring equipment and so on, and in adjusting, repairing and replacing faulty items.
Rigging Jobs
Certificates from rigging courses will qualify you as a telco rigger, but you will probably need to gain experience of Telstra, VHA, Optus and other networks' specifications, while individual companies often have their own workplace safety protocol.
Skills they ask for include time management, communication skills, teamwork, plus facility with ropes: climbing and abseiling. Qualifications are a current Certificate in Rigging and Construction White Card described above, and:
– Working at heights certificate
– Qualification and experience with elevated work platforms [EWP] – Driver's licence and first aid certificate
This brief summary should give you of an idea of what's involved in rigging support work. It's a booming area with lots of outdoor work and travel around the country and potentially overseas. So if you're reasonably fit and don't have a fear of heights, it's well worth considering.
LaunchTS services include external rigging staff.
Admiring the hard work you put into your site and
detailed information you provide. It's good to come
across a blog every once in a while that isn't the same old
rehazhed material. Wonderful read! I've bookmarked yolur site

Ads for laptop computers always seem to show smiling people sitting on the grass pecking away on their machines. As enticing as that is , my experience has been that most folks (including me) really treat laptops as portable PCs with the machines merely being easy to carry from one wall outlet to another. Therefore, I was interested to see Sony roll out the VAIO TX series ultraportables which actually have enough battery life to make true mobile laptop use a possibility. As is usual, there are a plethora of model numbers in the TX series, but here are some excerpts from CNET's review of the Sony VAIO TXN17P/B:
The Sony VAIO TXN17′s biggest plus is its battery life. In our battery-drain test, we got 4 hours and 54 minutes from the system–making this one of the longest-lasting laptops we've seen. When we tested the previous model, the TXN15, last year, we got around 9 hours of battery life from it, but that was with an older, less taxing test. The included battery does stick out slightly from the back of the system, but it's a fair trade-off for the extended running time. Working on tasks less battery intensive than playing a DVD will yield even more uptime, making this a great system for long plane trips or all-day on-the-road use.
(The CNET TXN15P/B review mentioned is here.) No matter how you measure it, it still seems pretty good for a laptop with a Intel Core Solo U1400 / 1.2 GHz processor, 2GB of memory, and a 80GB hard disk. These systems are clearly targeted at business with Windows Vista Business Edition installed and Sprint WWAN access (for the Sprint Mobile Broadband service) built in.
However, there being no such thing as free lunch, you have to pay a price for a 2.9 lbs laptop with good battery life and that is that the screen and keyboard are small:
Measuring 10.8 inches wide, 8 inches deep, and 1.2 inches high, the TXN17 is among the smallest ultraportables we've seen. It's tiny enough to carry around without much hassle, but the small screen and the cramped keyboard will be uncomfortable for extended use. The Sony VAIO TXN17 weighs 2.9 pounds (3.6 pounds with the AC adapter), which is extremely light when you consider the system has a built-in optical drive, something many smaller laptops omit to save on weight and bulk. The Asus S6F features a similar footprint and an optical drive but is noticeably thicker.
The tradeoff with using an ultraportable laptop is the miniaturized keyboard, and the VAIO TXN17 is no exception. The flat-topped keys are an acquired taste, similar to those on a MacBook, and those without nimble fingers will find themselves hitting the backspace key often. The touch pad, by comparison, is plenty ample for every day use, and the media control buttons built into the hinge are accessible, even when the lid is closed.
The 11.1-inch screen has a native resolution of 1,366×768, which translates into small text and images when Web surfing, but not more so than other ultraportable systems. The display is nice and bright, thanks to new LED backlight technology, and displays video and image files nicely.
Finally, there is one other price to pay in that the models in the TX series are rather expensive with the TXN17P/B reviewed above currently running around $2450 at most retailers, although I see there there is a a retailer selling through Amazon that currently has it a couple of hundred bucks cheaper. One reason for that may be that the TXN27 models are now available with a U1500 1.33GHz processor and 100 GB hard drive, although they seem to be selling on Amazon, at least, for the manufacturer's suggested retail price of $2700. As always, you may find a better deal at your favorite on or offline emporium.
Earlier in the year we covered Sprint Nextel's push (in the USA) to take on the telco DSL providers with high speed wireless starting with EV-DO, but that was always just the first step. Now Sprint Nextel, not satisfied with just 3G (third-generation) mobile data, will roll out a faster 4G network using WiMax later this year:
The network, which will start to be rolled out by the fourth quarter and reach as many as 100 million people around the U.S. by the end of next year, will offer downstream speeds of 2Mbps to 4Mbps, Sprint said Tuesday. Combined with fast uplinks, WiMax will offer enough bandwidth for mobile videoconferencing, transfers of large enterprise files and other applications, executives said.
Partners Intel, Motorola, and Samsung Electronics plan to help by equipping notebook PCs and a variety of mobile devices to use the 4G network.
Sprint Nextel is the third-largest U.S. mobile operator. Its choice of WiMax is the first endorsement of the metropolitan-area wireless data system by a major U.S. carrier. Sprint holds licenses around the country for radio spectrum in the 2.5GHz band and had considered other 4G technologies. The carrier said it chose WiMax because it believes it could build an ecosystem of equipment makers around the technology, which is based on the IEEE 802.16e standard.
The 4G service will complement Sprint Nextel's 3G EV-DO (Evolution-Data Optimized) services, executives said at a New York press conference, monitored via webcast. The carrier is already offering video, music and other multimedia services on 3G, but that technology doesn't deliver the economics Sprint needs, said Barry West, Sprint chief technology officer and president of Sprint's newly formed 4G business unit. The WiMax network can deliver four times the throughput at one-tenth the cost of 3G, he said.
Pricing of 4G services will easily meet Sprint Nextel's frequently stated goal of offering customers 1GB of data per month for less than US$20, West said. "We are significantly south of that," he said.
The speed is great, but $20 per GB seems a bit pricey to me. Maybe that's just the first GB and subsequent ones are much cheaper? They're competing with fixed price "all you can eat" services like DSL to fixed locations or mobile services like their own EV-DO offering and can only charge so much for speed before customers will choose the lower speed option as "good enough." And yes, prices will undoubtedly drop with time.
Marguerite Reardon at ZDNet:
Sprint Nextel is preparing to take on the big phone companies in the broadband market.
The assault on DSL is coming quietly, but recent announcements and development in Sprint's technology indicate that the company believes it can be the third pipe into the home–a pipe that would challenge the phone companies' DSL service and perhaps would rival even faster-than-DSL cable-modem service.
On Tuesday, Linksys, a division of Cisco Systems, announced the Wireless-G Router for Mobile Broadband (WRT54G3G-NA), which allows Sprint mobile broadband customers to plug their broadband card, used to connect their laptops wirelessly, into the PC Card slot on the router. The EV-DO mobile broadband connection is then turned into a shared 802.11g Wi-Fi connection. The companies are showing off the new router at the CTIA Wireless 2006 trade show here this week.
Initially, Sprint and Linksys are marketing the product to businesses that require network connections in areas where wired broadband access is not readily accessible, such as construction sites, special events, offsite consulting, and at events focused on public safety. But Sprint admits the product may appeal to consumers and could be viewed as a harbinger for much larger ambitions, especially as the mobile operator deploys a faster version of its wireless broadband called EV-DO Revision A, which will be available in early 2007.
Ah, but the data rate and price are the deal makers or killers for home or regular office use. See this PC Magazine EV-DO review:
Sprint's prices have come down, too. The company charges existing voice subscribers a maximum of $59.99 a month; data-only customers pay up to $79.99 for unlimited use. That's the same as Verizon's price, and at press time, Sprint was giving away free PC Cards with a two-year signup. Sprint also sells a 40MB bucket plan for $40 per month that scales up to a maximum of $79.99 per month as you use more data.
The price isn't out of whack although obviously more attractive for current Sprint mobile subscribers. The free PC Card offer is here.
In recent tests in Washington, Baltimore, and New York using the Novatel S620 PC Card Novatel S620 PC Card, Sprint's network blazed. We got average downlink speeds of 821 Kbps over 26 file transfers, with one test peaking at 1.14 Mbps. Upload speeds averaged 136 Kbps. That's in line with our earlier August results in Hartford, Connecticut, and Newark, New Jersey, where we got an average of 772 Kbps downlink and 134 Kbps up.
And back to the ZDNet article:
Today, average EV-DO speeds are slightly slower than the lowest tiers of DSL broadband service. EV-DO Revision Zero, the current version of technology, provides downloads between 400 kilobits per second and 700kbps with upload speeds of about 50kbps to 70kbps. The new version of the technology, EV-DO Revision A, is likely to offer average speeds between 450kbps to 800kbps for downloads and 70kbps to 144kbps for uploads. These speeds are comparable to Verizon's lowest-speed DSL option, which offers 769kbps downloads and 128kbps uploads.
It looks like the PC Magazine tests are beating the nominal rates, but still it's just OK compared to DSL. Another big consideration is coverage – the speed will be real slow outside Sprint's coverage area. Sprint's coverage maps are here. But that raises another point – how sensitive is this router to placement inside a house? It's not like a mobile phone or even a laptop that can be expected to be moved around. Since the router is completely wireless, it can go anywhere there is a power plug, but somehow I envision a customer wandering around trying to balance Wi-Fi and EV-DO reception, presuming there is good EV-DO reception anywhere inside a particular structure. I doubt it is hardened enough to go in the average residential attic and certainly not outdoors.
It's too early for any real tire-kicking reports on the WRT54G3G-NA (although there are some for its cousins for other types of wireless networks outside the USA), but I'd suggest waiting unless you can't get a DSL or cable broadband connection and basically have nothing to lose. There's hope for the future though – again from the ZDNet article:
But EV-DO is only the beginning for Sprint in the mobile broadband arena. The company is looking to its large holding in the 2.5GHz frequency band to provide new 4G wireless services. Sprint is still testing several technologies, but a front runner in the race is WiMax, which supports peak data download speeds of about 20 megabits per second, with average user data rates between 1mbps and 4mbps. The company will start offering 4G wireless services sometime in 2009, Tishgart said.
Now they're talking!
Update 4/13: A press release for the WRT54G3G-NA finally showed up on the Linksys web site with more details including availability:
The Linksys Wireless-G Router for Mobile Broadband (WRT54G3G) is scheduled to be available this summer through distribution channels and select mobile broadband providers in North America for an estimated street price of $199. A Mobile Broadband connection PC card and mobile broadband service is sold separately.

Customers panic as banks sealed
104 banks, 60 nursing homes, 50,000 others, including showrooms will be sealed; ATMs remain unaffected.india Updated: Feb 02, 2012 02:29 IST
Thousands of customers had a torrid time on Wednesday as eight banks were sealed and 83 others shut. Because of lack of clarity on shifting plans, they fear transaction delays and are particularly worried about the handling and safety of their valuables when lockers are shifted along with other bank assets.
Arun Kumar, representative of all affected banks, said, "The sealing drive has affected lakhs of customers and thousands of locker holders."The authority has announced a scheme of plots for banks, but it has failed to cut much ice. "The process of shifting will take time. We also need to see if getting plots on lease and going for construction is cost-effective for us," said Kumar.
And, even if banks are relocated anytime soon, customers will still face problems.
Sunil Kumar Jain, a customer with Vijaya Bank, said, "In commercial sectors, we will have to pay for parking. The longer distances will consume more time."
Kapilesh Pandey, a resident of Sector 19, said, "It will be very difficult, especially for women, to leave home and travel long distances for banking work."
"There's no need to panic. Noida already has 70-odd banks in commercial areas. Customers would not face much problem. We have announced a scheme of 74 plots for 104 banks currently operating out of residential premises," said authority's CEO SK Dwivedi.
"We will allot plots. Construction will be the responsibility of banks. Some banks have said they need ready-to-move-in properties. But the court has ruled if banks need more time for construction they can approach the court again," the CEO said. The CEO said all the 74 plots were located across the city in commercial sectors.
Roughly, 104 banks, 60 nursing homes and 50,000 other establishments, including more than 250 showrooms, will face action. ATMs will remain unaffected. Commercial establishments in several residential sectors, including 12, 22, 19, 20, 27, 40, 41 and 55, may face action. Industrial sectors where sealing can be carried out are: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 57, 58, 59, 60 and 63.
Meanwhile, chaos marked the entire day as owners of commercial establishments downed their shutters and landlords (of residential premises) erected walls to imply they were putting their properties back to the prescribed land use to avoid cancellation of lease agreements.

I've been really pleased with the recent Cole Haan bags I've come across. I started giving Cole Haan bags a bit more of my time once I bought a pair of great CH pumps, with Nike technology. They might just be the most comfortable and fashionable pumps I own. So, as my love for that pair of shoes grew, I thought it was time to start looking a bit more at the bags. I really loved the Cole Haan Prudence Small Satchel but I am on the fence about the larger version.
The Cole Haan Prudence Leather Hobo offers the same great woven leather design as the satchel, but more of it and with a few different colors. I was a huge fan of the grey leather used for the satchel, but I can also equally appreciate the chestnut and zinfandel colors offered for the hobo. The pebbled leather and tassel zipper pull both play off of one another perfectly. I am just wondering if with the hobo, the woven leather is too much. Yet whatever hangup I have, the bag itself is lovely, wearable and absolutely perfect for the cooler fall temperatures. Buy through Saks for $428.

Ambulatory Surgery Center Models
HVP has dealt with each possible Surgery Center "model." Whether it's a Single or Multi Specialty center, and whether it's owned by Physicians, a Hospital, or is a Physician-Hospital joint venture, HVP has the expertise and experience necessary to assist you. We'll even consider taking a minority ownership position in the Center if you'd like. For each available model, HVP can help you plan for a new Surgery Center or help with any aspect of an existing ASC.
ASC Service Models
- Single Specialty Center – The ASC is limited to a single (or closely related) specialty. Physicians in that specialty are typically those involved in ownership as well. These same Physicians usually bring a majority of the Patients served by the Center.
- Multi Specialty Center – The ASC provides a wide range of procedures among a large number of specialties. Again, Physicians from all represented specialties are typically involved in the ownership of the Center and usually bring the majority of Patients served by the Center.
ASC Ownership Models
- Hospital-Owned (HOPD) Center – Owned and operated solely by the Hospital either on campus or off campus (typically as a part of a larger ambulatory care site). Usually a physically separate facility, the Center is considered to be a Hospital Outpatient Department (HOPD) or part of the Hospital for licensure, accreditation and reimbursement purposes.
- Physician-Owned Center – Owned solely by Physicians. Sometimes created as an extension of the Physician(s) office, it may be either Single or Multi Specialty. It is treated as a "freestanding ASC" for licensure, accreditation and reimbursement purposes.
- Hospital/Physician-Owned – A "Joint Venture" approach where the Center is owned by a Hospital and a group of Physicians together. Percentages of respective ownership will vary depending on the individual situation. The Center may be Single or Multi Specialty in nature. It is treated as a "freestanding ASC" for licensure, accreditation and reimbursement purposes.
- Company Ownership – Under either the Physician-Owned or Hospital/Physician-Owned models, ownership may be shared with a professional ASC Management Company that also provides ongoing management services to the Center.
Please Note: For any of the Service Models or Ownership Models described above, HVP can provide the management, consulting or support resources necessary to make the ASC successful in the eyes of the Patient and all Owners and users of the Center.


text: ELSEVIER has acquired Social Science Research Network (SSRN), a social science and humanities research repository and online community, for an undisclosed amount. Amsterdam-based Elsevier already has its own scholarly collaboration network and platform, called Mendeley, and the company says it will integrate the two. Combined, Mendeley and SSRN have more than 7 million users. The acquisition will allow SSRN members to access Mendeley's researcher professional profiles, "follow" capabilities and other person-to-person network communities, according to a news release. Elsevier and Mendeley plan to leverage New York-based SSRN for its social community strategy and access to social science research. SSRN employees will remain with the company, and SSRN will for now continue its freemium business model.

Poor Brandon Sutter. You ask why? Watch this weeks preview of "In the Room"
In the Room: A Peek Inside 2/25/14
Sutter gets THAT nickname because he's skinny? But as our resident bad boy, James Neal, admits, he doesn't even know how "Flat Stanley" became the official nickname for him.
If he was so skinny, he probably couldn't do this:
Definitely making it my mission to make sure "Flat Stanley" doesn't stick around for much longer.

Picture your life as your sailboat, at sea on a dark, starry night. You are trying to sail toward your personal North Star, your purpose, your passion, the life you were meant to live. But the reason sailboats make marvelous analogies for our creative journeys is because most of the time you can't sail straight toward your goal. You have to tack back and forth, chasing the winds. And sometimes you focus so much on the waves that when you look up at your North Star again, you realize you need a course correction.
I had a course correction recently. Ever since I got trained as a life coach, I've imagined that I would have at least a three-part business, including coaching, jewelry making, writing and probably public speaking. I've been intensely focused on jewelry for the past four or five months, creating a lot of pieces, doing lots of vending, and making lots of custom orders.
Early in July, I vended up in Vail, a great little Colorado mountain town. I've done this event several times before, and usually I make a lot of money, but that day I didn't. And I left very frustrated because I had specifically asked the universe to send all the right people to buy my jewelry. What had I done wrong? I had asked the divine for something specific, and it definitely didn't happen. WTF????
Then, a week or so later, I drove an hour to have lunch with a fellow coach. On the drive, I listened to a recorded class related to my coaching business and felt my passions getting very stirred up about coaching. I love coaching people! I love passing along the amazing tools I've learned that have opened the way for me to create the life I want! I love it when a client has a major breakthrough! My coach friend and I talked for 3 hours and all I could think was that I want more clients to coach. As I drove back home, I listened to the recorded class all over again, and I had the strong sense that I had been neglecting my calling to serve people with my coaching skills. I made the decision that it was time to focus again on my coaching.
But, I had a previous vending commitment a few days after that lunch meeting, so I had lots of jewelry work to do to get ready, and I didn't do anything about my decision. The vending was in downtown Denver at a street fair where I expected to encounter lots of people who would like my style. As I was driving to the venue that morning, I begged the divine that I would be able to sell lots of jewelry and make some good money. I was hoping to take in around $1000 for the day. Well, I barely covered the booth fee and the food and parking for the day. Plus it was freakin' hot and lots of hard work.
On my way home, I was so upset. All that work for nothing. What about the divine answering my prayers? What about manifesting things? What was going on???
Then I got it. I had been SAYING all week that I was willing to change how I was spending my time. I was excited about the idea of spending a lot more time on coaching. But in reality, in those few days since making my decision to change, I hadn't actually DONE anything different. I had still poured just as much time into my jewelry business, compulsively trying to finish a bunch of new pieces so I would have a certain amount to sell. I THOUGHT I was listening to my inner guidance, but I actually wasn't DOING the things I would have done if I had truly taken that guidance to heart.
So the universe had to be drastic to get my attention. And this time, on this drive home, I REALLY decided that it's time to focus on coaching, and that my jewelry business needs to be a side business, at least right now. Yes, I'm still vending this weekend, up in Vail again, but I'm NOT going to obsess over how many pieces I have to sell, or work like crazy to finish a few more beforehand. This time I'm making my course correction for real.

Every gentleman has his go to outfit. Usually this includes a navy blazer with dress khakis or grey slacks and a white button down shirt. You can vary this ensemble with other patterned pants and shirts. This versatility of wearing a blazer makes it a staple for any gentlemen's wardrobe. While it may be looked on as a casual jacket, it is better to show up over dressed in your blazer than underdressed sans the blazer.
The roots of a blazer date back to the HMS Blazer uniform for all officers and sailors. The captain would decide on the look of their crew's uniforms. The captain wanted to smart up his crew when he heard Queen Victoria would inspect his ship. He made them wear blue and white striped seaman's sedate sweaters and navy blue jackets in a short, black buttoned, double breasted, reefer-style – "reefing" the sails reduces the area of sail exposed to the wind. This side vented, double breasted blazer became part of the nautical fashion inspired by Britain's naval power and empire building. The reefer evolved to become part of the officers dress uniform in the style we know today.
Today you can change numerous features of the blazer. Fabric can be a 100% wool, cashmere, wool and silk, linen, and a silk wool, and linen combination. Then you can choose 2 or 3 button model, center or side vent, linings, working buttonholes and buttons. The buttons can be bone, engraveable, enameled, mother of pearl buttons, shiny brass, shiny nickel or coin buttons will convey the look and role of your blazer.
The navy blazer is actually the most formal jacket apart from wearing a suit. One can call it traditional and conservative. It passes the jacket required test and elevates any business casual to business appropriate. It will take you to meetings, conferences, lunches at the club, and out to dinner.

Lameness Watch
Signs of trouble include wounds, an elevated pulse and hot, swollen legs.
June 3, 2009
From Knack "Leg and Hoof Care for Horses," by Micaela Myers. Published by KNACK, an imprint of The Globe Pequot Press, Guilford, Connecticut
Aside from the horse moving differently or limping, physical signs of lameness may also be detected when examining the leg.
Wounds are generally easy to spot if they break the skin. However, wounds that don't break the skin can be harder to see but often create swelling.
If you suspect your horse is lame, use your fingertips to feel and examine the leg. If a horse consistently reacts to touch he normally wouldn't (or touch he doesn't react to on the opposite leg), it's a good indication he's experiencing pain in that area.
Palpate or feel the suspect leg, looking for signs of heat or swelling. The best way to detect heat or swelling in a leg is to compare it to the same leg on the opposite side.
Place the fingertips of one hand on one leg and the fingertips of the other hand on the opposite leg in the same place. Does one feel warmer than the other? Next, visually assess the two legs, comparing the same parts of each leg to see if swelling is present.
The following factors can cause devastating joint conditions in young horses: genetic predisposition, fast growth and body size, nutritional imbalances and mechanical stress or trauma. An understanding of the first signs of lameness can help save your horse's joints. Download AQHA's Young Horse Joint Health FREE report to keep your horse safe.
In a healthy leg, the digital pulse in the fetlock area will barely be detectible. If the digital pulse is pounding and easily felt, then it's likely a sign of trouble. Check the digital pulse on all legs for comparison. Unlike pulses taken in other areas, you're not counting beats, you're checking for the strength of the pulse. It's helpful to check your horse's digital pulse regularly so that if there ever is trouble, you'll know the difference.
Detecting Heat or Pain
- When you clean your horse's pen, groom him and clean his feet, visually inspect his legs and note his reactions to your touch.
- If your horse's legs look different than usual, he reacts differently when you groom a leg or ask him to pick up his hoof, this warrants further investigation.
- Feeling the horse's legs with your fingertips and comparing both front or both hind legs helps you detect pain or heat, which are both indications of trouble.
Checking Digital Pulse
- To feel your horse's digital pulse, squat down beside his lower leg and use your fingertips to feel around the back part of the fetlock, at the level of the proximal sesamoid bones or in the mid-pastern area.
- Feel for a cordlike bundle, which includes a vein, artery and nerve.
- Once you locate the bundle, press your fingertips against it with varying pressure for several seconds, trying to feel the pulse.
For such large animals, horses have very fragile legs. Many factors determine your horse's joint health. You need to read the information in AQHA's Young Horse Joint Health FREE report to be an informed horse owner. Don't let your horse's joints suffer as a result of your ignorance.
Swollen Legs
- It's important to be familiar with your horse's legs and what's normal for them.
- If the two front legs or two hind legs don't match, and one seems puffier in parts than the other one, that's a good indication one leg is swollen, which suggests a problem.
- Sometimes both front legs, both hind legs or all four legs become swollen.
- Knowing your horse's legs well helps you catch changes easily.
- Legs have very little padding, and tendons, ligaments and bones are not far from the surface.
- Legs can be easily wounded by interference injuries, kicks from other horses or run-ins with the stall wall, paddock fencing, feeders or other objects.
- Because equine legs are so vulnerable, leg wounds can cause lameness, depending on their placement, depth, width and whether they heal without complication.

Costa Mesa's upcoming birthday bash needs volunteers — 100 of them.
City officials sent out a notice Friday for help with the 60th anniversary street festival, which takes place June 28 to 30 along Fair Drive between Newport Boulevard and Fairview Road. There will also be street closures for that half-mile section of Fair between June 27 and July 1. Volunteers will be tasked with manning booths for check-ins, information, tickets and merchandise, as well as some crowd control help and cleanup.
They'll also be needed to help the 60th anniversary booth that will be at various community events before the festival.
The event will feature music on multiple stages, a "tastefest" with foods from local restaurants, classic car show, art walk and children's zone.

I admit: when Eldest turned to me a few weeks ago and said "I don't want to do anything except draw" (see my post, Educating a Pre-teen), I was slightly dismayed: I know I am more susceptible to the wobbles when there is no obvious learning going on. Happily for us all though, I held my ground and refused to panic - we've been doing this long enough now for me to know it was a phase, and the less I resisted, the less of a problem it would be. I had no idea that it would be so short-lived (not that there won't probably be more such episodes, but I'm relieved this one didn't last for years)!
This morning he came to me and sat down very seriously and said "I don't feel like I'm learning enough" (my internal response: !!!!!!!!!!!!!) so VERY neutrally I asked why he thought that, and in short, what he said was that the things we do are good for his younger brothers but not appropriate to where he's at. He has a really good point - especially since he stopped doing his lapbooks!
The issue I now have is where do we go from here? He was going to a science group suitable for his age, but in his words, "there was too much sitting and listening". He much prefers hands-on learning. Unfortunately most of the groups that I am aware of locally are aimed at younger children. He's really good at playing with younger children, but he is obviously ready to be learning more, and tackling subjects at more depth. So "hooray" and "help"! Watch this space as Eldest and I chat some more and come up with a cunning plan that meets his felt needs and desire to learn.
Meanwhile, Youngest in his sudden appetite for Maths workbooks hit a bit of a hurdle. He has a natural ability in Maths, and really enjoys the subject, however his fine motor skills (eg writing) have not been so easy to develop, and he is not fully competent in forming his numbers yet. That hasn't stopped him at all - he has still been whizzing through the workbook without waiting for help, but his number formation has consequently been a bit 'hit & miss'. So yesterday, while reading one of my favourite blogs, "An Ordinary Life", I remembered that the blogger, Lisa, made a 'maths dinosaur' to help one of her girls when they hit a wall in their Maths. Inspired, I made a number line from 1-20 (Youngest's current level) in the shape of a friendly caterpillar. On each number I added a red dot to show him where to start writing the digit, as that was the bit he kept getting muddled with when I wasn't around to help. Well I showed him his number caterpillar today, and he loves it - couldn't wait to get his workbook out and get going again without me - he is such an independent thing!
Speaking of independence, while I was writing the above, Youngest was just working on a maths page in a new book that I was going to give away as it's now too easy for him, but he found it and wanted to do it... and he has impressed me again. When he showed me what he had done I was puzzled as the instructions said to "count the pictures and circle the number", but looking at the diagrams I couldn't work out why they had showed him a picture of five fish and only given him a choice of numbers 1-3 to circle. In my mind I would have assumed it was a printing error or a trick question & left it blank, but he engaged his little problem-solving brain and circled 2 and 3, because that makes five. Just a little seemingly insignificant act, but it spoke volumes to me.
As for Middle, he is just pootling along in his own sweet way, not particularly enthusiastic about Maths or anything that looks like work (although he is reading voraciously, and growing tremendously height-wise) - but that just goes to show yet again the benefits for home educating more than one: you can treat them all as individuals and cater to each child's specific needs at any given point. Each of my boys may be at a different season in learning, but each season is precious, and more importantly, each season lasts as long as it needs - they can't be rushed or artificially prolonged - at least, not for long. If we pay attention to our children's needs in each season they are in, and if we live in tune with the learning seasons and cherish each one knowing that the next season is just around the corner... well, it makes for a very contented way to learn.

Lovely post! Love the caterpillar too. I loved the way he solved the 5 fishes problem by thinking out of the box - these things we'd probably miss if there were in school, don't you think? xxReplyDelete
That's great that Eldest has decided for himself that he wants to learn more! I hope you find something suitable for him. Is he interested in programming? There are some great, free sites for this, we've only tried Scratch so far but it seems to be the sort of thing that you could take as far as you wanted to. RxReplyDelete

Misc. comments and questions about TUR:
The Month of November - 2000
In the early evening last night, we had a rehearsal for a play which is to take place on Friday, 11-24-2000 for the grand opening of the Skara Brae fairgrounds. The rehearsal went well and we expect the play to be a success. After rehearsal, we were playing around the fairgrounds which are still under construction and were startled by a pale apparition. She said not a word and walked in an earie manner through the soon-to-be fairgrounds. Appearing, and disappearing into thin air.
While we were still in awe of her appearance, angry spirits rose from the very ground we stood upon and massed against us. After some brief excitement, they seeped back into the earth from whence they came and the coming fairgrounds were silent.
We later recieved reports that someone by the name of MacLeod was in grave danger and to warn this person. Could this be our very own Skye MacLeod? It is said that Bonnie the mage brought this warning. Little more is known about the matter. Perhaps we shall see soon!
From an anonymous person
As I sat in the Library that is my home looking around at all the same old and worn books, I had an epiphany. I realized that the land of Britannia is in the midst of a literary drought. So, to help along the resurgence of quality reading in Britannia. I hereby challenge all the citizens of this land who have chosen the pen and ink over the sword and shield. Submit a copy of your best works to be judged by myself and 5 others. The 10 best will be hailed across the land as the 10 greatest literary works on this shard. I care not what type of book you write, whether it be action, adventure, fantasy, comedy, horror(keep it clean), instructional(cookbooks, helpful hints, how top's, etc..) historical, or poetry. I gladly accept any kind.
I can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com to arrange a time to collect your entries, or contact my associate at firstname.lastname@example.com as he also is collecting the books for this contest. As of yet I have no prizes, if you wish to submit a prize for the winners to receive let me know.
The best way to turn them in would be to directly contact us, though you may be able to give the books to members of "The Unruled" and they will get them to the proper people. Also, the Monk Teleburiel has said that he would love to display the top ten books in the Monastery Thurisaz, when it is finally restored. The "due date" for all entries is Nov. 20th. We would love for any and all to participate, even the smallest glimmer of an idea can become a grand story with only a slight bit of work. Thank you and good luck. May the muse speak to you all.
Last night, TUR Village was rocked by a series of fierce attacks. It all started with the appearance of a few evil mages through mysterious moongates. Shortly after, blood elementals began to appear, and then elementals of all shapes and sizes. Just when all seemed well, the second wave arrived. As two large figures stepped through the gates an uneasy silence fell over the field. All that could be heard was the low huffing coming deep from within the the breasts of two very hidious daemons.
In a moment of fear and rage, the silence turned to battle cries and a charge took place. Before the daemons could be reached, our forces were met by elementals and evil mages who hurried past the daemons, fearlessly to battle. The minions did not last long, but the daemons, with their comrades slain, wadded amongst us as if without worry, picking their targets and bringing death to those of their choosing.
It took a little time and a lot of life before we could find the weak spots of the beasts and send them to the next world. Afterwards, there was brief celebration as those who fought in the battle proudly sported their robes which were recovered from the dead minions of the invading army.
We found clues about the attack. It would seem a person named Callista the Dark was behind this raid. We were lead to the temple on fire island where an unusual book was recovered. More on this later.
<< Previously October - 00 || December - 00 Next >>
Ummm...It's probably best that you view this thingy using 800x600 pixils n' stuff...If anything here looks a little funny to you, you probably didn't listen to a word I just said.

I've written in the distant past about affordable California wine brands that you can depend on. In those days, Fetzer was always on the list. But the winery went through at least a decade when it wasn't on my radar. Now Chile wine giant Concha y Toro, which has owned Fetzer since 2011, appears to be giving the brand a new push.
Frankly, it's hard to find a $10 California wine these days that's worth your attention, but Fetzer once again delivers. And that's particularly true with the Eagle Peak merlot, which has a California appellation. The wine is medium weight and easy to drink, with lively, dark fruit, a hint of anise and approachable tannins.
The Eagle Peak merlot is also very consistent from vintage to vintage. Some stores are likely to have the 2015 (whose label is pictured), and it's a good bet, too.
Fetzer, founded in 1968 by Barney Fetzer, is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. It's a low-key celebration, but you will see a sticker noting the milestone on the front of Fetzer bottles. If you haven't tried Fetzer wines lately, this is a fine occasion.
