Welsh toponymy
The placenames of Wales derive in most cases from the Welsh language, but have also been influenced by linguistic contact with the Romans, Anglo-Saxons, Vikings, Anglo-Normans and modern English.[1] The study of placenames (or toponymy) in Wales reveals significant features of the country's history and geography as well of the development of the Welsh language.
- See: History of Wales
During the 4th to 11th centuries, while Anglo-Saxons and other migrants from Europe settled adjoining areas of Britain, Wales developed as a distinctive entity, developing its language, culture, legal code, and political structures. By stages between the 11th and 16th centuries, Wales was then subdued, conquered and eventually incorporated into the Kingdom of England while still retaining many distinct cultural features, most notably its language. Since then, there has been a mixing of cultures in Wales, with the English language dominant in industry and commerce, but with Welsh remaining as a living language, particularly in its stronghold, y Fro Gymraeg or "Welsh language country" in northwest, mid- and west Wales. Welsh culture and political autonomy has been reasserted increasingly since the mid 19th century.
Language characteristics[edit]
The Welsh language is a Western Brittonic language descended from the Common Brittonic spoken throughout Britain in the centuries before the Anglo-Saxon and Viking invasions that led to the creation of England. Many place names in Britain, particularly of natural features such as rivers and hills, derive directly from Common Brittonic. Obvious examples of place names of Welsh origin are the numerous Rivers Avon, from the Welsh afon ("river") and place names such as Penrith.
Place names from the Western Brittonic-speaking Hen Ogledd occur in Cumbria and the Scottish Lowlands. These include the name of Edinburgh, from Cumbric Din Eidin "Eidin's Fort".
The Cornish language is a Southwestern Brittonic language and many place-names in Cornwall and to a lesser extent neighbouring Devon, Somerset and Dorset therefore have similar origins to names in Wales, such as the River Avon, Devon.
Welsh remains a living language, spoken by over 20% of the country's population. Like all languages, it has changed over time and continues to do so, for instance by accepting loan words from other languages such as Latin and English. The Welsh language itself has many characteristics unfamiliar to most English speakers that can make it difficult to understand its place names. For example, it uses a number of initial consonant changes (called "mutations") in different grammatical circumstances. In relation to place names, this means that, for example, a parish (llan) dedicated to one of the saints Mary (Mair) becomes Llanfair – the initial m of Mair changes to f (pronounced /v/) for grammatical reasons. Other changes can apply to internal vowels.
There are also differences between Welsh and English spelling standards, which have affected how place names are spelled in the two languages. For instance, a single f in Welsh is always pronounced /v/ (or is silent), while ff is pronounced /f/; thus, the Welsh word for river, afon, is pronounced with a v-sound and so often spelled "Avon" when it appears in English place names and river names.[2]
Development of placenames in Wales[edit]
Early inhabitants of Wales gave names first to noteworthy natural features, such as rivers, hills, mountains, harbours and shores. However, before the Roman occupation in the first century, there seems to have been little tradition in Wales of people coming together in organised settlements, and so little reason to give names to such places. The Roman towns which were established were generally fortified and were given the generic name of castra, which in Welsh became caer, originally with the meaning of "fortified enclosure". Many of these continued as towns after the Romans left, including Caernarfon, Carmarthen (Caerfyrddin), Caerleon, and Caerwent.
Elsewhere, many villages and later towns took their names from natural features. For example, Abergele refers to the "mouth of the [river] Gele", Harlech means "fair rock", Rhuddlan "red bank", and Porthcawl "harbour with sea-kale". Aberystwyth means "mouth of the Ystwyth", a river a mile or so away from the town centre, and was apparently so named as a result of confusion by the English over the different castles in the area.[3]
Many others took their name from religious settlements and clasau (monasteries) established from the fifth century onwards. These generally use the prefix llan, roughly equivalent to "parish". Most of them are dedicated to their founders,[4] who hailed from local dynasties and were venerated as patron saints.[5] Examples include Llandudno ("Saint Tudno's"), Llanelli ("Saint Elli's"), and Llantwit ("Illtud's"). Following the Norman invasion of Wales, some were rededicated to more generic saints:[6] Llanilar ("Saint Hilary's"), Llanfoist ("Saint Faith's"). A few—usually by mistake—include other elements or none at all: Llan, Powys, Llanharry, Llangefni ("Parish by the Afon Cefni").[2] Other religious placenames include merthyr ("martyr") and eglwys ("church").
Over the centuries, Welsh place names have been variously affected by social and economic changes in the country. The Industrial Revolution saw the development of many new towns and villages, particularly in south Wales. Some of these used already existing place names, while others acquired new names. For example, the towns of Port Talbot and Tredegar took the names of their main landowners and developers. In north Wales, Porthmadog was originally named "Portmadoc" by its developer William Madocks, to commemorate both his own name and that of the possibly mythical sailor Madoc. An early example of a publicity stunt saw the village of Llanfairpwllgwyngyll ("St Mary's church beside the hollow with white hazels") renaming itself in the 1860s with an even longer title, in an attempt to keep its railway station open.[2]
Common elements of Welsh place names thus include both words for topographical features and words reflecting human influence. Some of the most frequently encountered place name elements in Wales are shown in the table below. The Welsh version shown is the original, unmutated reference form.[7]

Relationship between Welsh and English placenames[edit]
In the majority of cases in Wales, the Welsh and English names for a place are identical, almost always because the Welsh name is used. So, for example, Aberystwyth, Blaenau Ffestiniog, Bangor, Machynlleth and Llandudno all have the same spelling in Welsh and English, although it is also often the case that many English people do not pronounce the name in the same way as the Welsh.
There are also many instances where the Welsh and English names are very similar, both in spelling and pronunciation. Examples are Caerphilly (Caerffili), Raglan (Rhaglan), Treorchy (Treorci), Barry (Y Barri) and Merthyr Tydfil (Merthyr Tudful). In most of these cases, English usage adopted and anglicised the Welsh name, although there are some cases, especially close to the English border, where the English name was adopted by the Welsh. Examples are Flint (Y Fflint) and Wrexham (Wrecsam) in north east Wales, and Caldicot (Cil-y-coed) in south east Wales. A related case is the Norman French foundation of Beaumaris (Biwmares). In a few cases, such as Prestatyn (originally "priest's town", which elsewhere became "Preston") and Mostyn, the original name was wholly English but has gradually taken on a Welsh appearance. In one or two others, such as Caergwrle, the name combines Welsh (caer) and English elements – the village was originally the English settlement of Corley.[2]
In some cases, the spelling formerly used in English has, over the past few decades, ceased to be accepted – examples are Caernarfon (formerly, in English, Ca(e)rnarvon), Conwy (formerly Conway), and Llanelli (formerly Llanelly). Most of these examples are in predominantly Welsh-speaking areas of Wales. There are also places where there are ongoing disagreements over whether the Welsh spelling should be used exclusively or not, such as Criccieth (Cricieth), Rhayader (Rhaeadr), and Ruthin (Rhuthun).[8]
In other cases, the Welsh and English names clearly share the same original form, but spellings and pronunciation have diverged over the years. One obvious example is Cardiff (Caerdydd). The medieval Welsh form was Caerdyf (with a final [v]) from which are derived the modern English Cardiff (with a final /f/) and the modern Welsh Caerdydd (with a final [ð]). Some examples of the anglicisation of placenames are the towns of Denbigh and Tenby, both derived from the Welsh name Dinbych ("little fort"); Pembroke (from Penfro, literally "land's end"); Lampeter (from Llanbedr, in full Llanbedr Pont Steffan); Skenfrith (from Ynysgynwraidd); and Barmouth (in modern Welsh Y Bermo, but originally Aber-mawdd, meaning "mouth of the [river] Mawdd(ach))".[2]
Finally, there are a number of places, listed in the table below, where the English and Welsh names have, or may appear to have, different origins. These have developed for a variety of reasons. Brecon and Cardigan both took their English names from their surrounding historic kingdoms, but took their Welsh names from local rivers; almost the reverse process occurred at Usk. Names given by Norse settlers, such as Swansea, Fishguard and Anglesey, tended to be adopted in English usage but not by the Welsh. Again, there are exceptions such as the island of Skomer (from Norse words meaning "cloven island"). English names for the Great Orme and Worm's Head both derive from the Norse word orm, referring to their shape resembling a serpent's head.
Places in Wales whose Welsh and English names appear substantially different[edit]
English name | Welsh name | Notes |
Anglesey | Ynys Môn | English name derived from Norse meaning "Ongull's island", Welsh name related to (but probably predated) Roman Latin Mona |
Bangor-on-Dee | Bangor Is-coed | English name refers to the village's proximity to the River Dee. Welsh name means "Bangor (a settlement within a wattle fence) below the wood/trees" |
Bardsey | Ynys Enlli | English name derived from Norse meaning "Bard's island" ("Bard" probably being a person's name), Welsh name probably originally Ynys Fenlli, "Benlli's island",[9] or possibly from Old Welsh Ynis en Lliv meaning "Island in (the) Tide".[citation needed] |
Blackwood | Coed-duon | Both English and Welsh names mean "black woodland" |
Brecon | Aberhonddu | English name derived from Brycheiniog, Welsh from River Honddu |
Bridgend | Pen-y-bont (ar Ogwr) | Both English and Welsh names mean "end of the bridge" |
Builth (Wells) | Llanfair-ym-Muallt | Both English and Welsh names derive from the original Welsh Buellt, meaning "cow pasture", with the Welsh name mutating with the additional reference to "St Mary's church" |
Cardigan | Aberteifi | English name derived from Ceredigion, Welsh from River Teifi |
Chepstow | Cas-gwent | English name meaning "place with market", Welsh meaning "castle of Gwent" |
Chirk | Y Waun | English name derived from Norse "Kirk", which at some point became mixed with the modern English translation "Church," Welsh meaning "the heath" |
Cowbridge | Y Bont-faen | English name meaning "bridge used by cows", Welsh meaning "the stone bridge" |
Fishguard | Abergwaun | English name derived from Norse meaning "fish yard", Welsh from River Gwaun |
Haverfordwest | Hwlffordd | English name means "western ford used by goats". Haverford means "ford used by goats"; West was added in the fifteenth century to distinguish the town from Hereford.[10][11] Welsh name is derived from the English name. |
Hawarden | Penarlâg | English name meaning "high enclosure", Welsh meaning "high ground rich in cattle" |
Hay (-on-Wye) | Y Gelli (Gandryll) | Both English and Welsh names mean "enclosed forest" |
Holyhead | Caergybi | English name meaning "holy headland", Welsh meaning "St. Cybi's fort" |
Knighton | Tref-y-clawdd | English name meaning "town of the knights", Welsh meaning "town beside [Offa's] dyke" |
Menai Bridge | Porthaethwy | English name applied after bridge over Menai Strait opened in 1826, Welsh meaning "ferry of Daethwy people" |
Milford (Haven) | Aberdaugleddau | English name derived from Norse meaning "sandy inlet", Welsh from Daugleddau estuary (i.e. the two Cleddau rivers) |
Mold | Yr Wyddgrug | English name from Norman French "mont hault" or "high hill", Welsh meaning "the mound with burial cairn" |
Monmouth | Trefynwy | Both names derive from the local river Mynwy or Monnow, the English name meaning "mouth of the Monnow" and the Welsh meaning "town on the Mynwy", the initial m mutating to f |
Montgomery | Trefaldwyn | English name from that of Norman lord who built castle, Welsh meaning "Baldwin's town" |
Mountain Ash | Aberpennar | English name from inn around which industrial development took place, Welsh from River Pennar |
Neath | Castell-nedd | English name from the River Neath, an anglicised version of Nedd; Welsh meaning "fort of (the river) Neath" |
Newport | Casnewydd | English name meaning "new borough", Welsh meaning "new castle (on the River Usk)" |
Newport, Pembrokeshire | Trefdraeth | English name meaning "new borough", Welsh meaning "town by the shore" |
New Radnor | Maesyfed | English name meaning "red bank" originally applied to Old Radnor, Welsh meaning "Hyfaidd's field" |
Newtown | Y Drenewydd | Both English and Welsh names mean "(the) new town" |
Presteigne | Llanandras | English name meaning "house of priests", Welsh meaning "St. Andreas' church" |
Snowdon | Yr Wyddfa | English name meaning "snowy hill", Welsh meaning "the burial mound". The Welsh name for Snowdonia, attested since the Middle Ages, is Eryri, meaning "highlands" or "upland" – the traditional interpretation as "place of the eagles" (eryr, "eagle") has been shown to be etymologically incorrect |
St Asaph | Llanelwy | English name from dedication of cathedral, Welsh meaning "church on the river Elwy" |
St Dogmaels | Llandudoch | Possibly both names refer to the same saint or founder, with 'mael' (prince) and 'tud' (land or people of) being added to Dog/doch as in Dog mael and Tud doch |
Swansea | Abertawe | English name derived from Norse meaning "Sveyn's island", Welsh from local river Tawe[12] |
Usk | Brynbuga | English name from River Usk (originally Welsh Wysg), Welsh meaning "Buga's hill" |
Welshpool | Y Trallwng | Both English and Welsh names mean "(the) boggy area", with the English name adding "Welsh", possibly to distinguish it from Poole in Dorset. |
Official policy on placenames in Wales[edit]
The naming of places in Wales can be a matter of dispute and uncertainty. In some cases there is an issue of whether both the Welsh and English names should be used, or only one, and which should be given priority. In other cases it is because usage and style have changed over the years, and there is debate over which form or spelling of a placename should be used. Both the Welsh Government and the Ordnance Survey have policies on standardising placenames, drawing on advice from the Welsh Language Commissioner and the Place-name Research Centre at the University of Wales, Bangor.
The policy of the Welsh Government on placenames as shown on road signs within its jurisdiction is set out in its Welsh Language Scheme. This states: "The signs for which we are responsible (mostly motorway and trunk road signs) will be bilingual. Signs which are in English only at the moment will be made bilingual when they are replaced.... When both languages are included on one sign with one language above the other, the order in which the languages appear will follow the practice adopted by the local authority where the sign is located."[13] The latter proviso applies because local authorities have discretion over the forms used on local highway signs. In the predominantly Welsh-speaking areas of Wales, the Welsh form of the name is usually given first; in other areas, the English name is usually given first.
The guidance also states: "Signs containing place names in England will contain the Welsh and English versions of the name....". This proviso has led to new motorway signs in south Wales showing the names Llundain and Bryste as well as their English-language names, London and Bristol.
Welsh names for other places in Britain and Ireland[edit]
The modern Welsh language contains names for many towns and other geographical features across Britain and Ireland. In some cases, these derive from the Brythonic names which were used during or before the Roman occupation: for example, Llundain (London), Cernyw (Cornwall), Dyfnaint (Devon), and Ebrauc/Efrog (York). The origin of the modern Welsh name for England itself, Lloegr [ɬɔiɡr], is disputed, but one widely believed[citation needed] theory – which, however, has no etymological foundation – is that it derives from purportedly poetic words meaning "lost land", and was originally applied to areas of Mercia after the Saxon conquest before being applied to the whole of England.
Many English county towns, founded as Roman castra and now having the English suffix "-c(h)ester", also have Welsh names, in most cases using the prefix Caer-. Examples include Caer or Caerlleon (for Chester), Caerloyw (Gloucester), Caerwrangon (Worcester), Caergrawnt (Cambridge, from Grantchester), and Caerwynt (Winchester). In some other cases, Welsh names are translations of the English name, often influenced by the Welsh poetic tradition – for example, Rhydychen (literally, "oxen ford") for Oxford, and Gwlad-yr-haf ("land of summer") for Somerset. There are some erroneous "translations" such as Rhydwely for Bedford, which is actually derived from an English personal name Beda, and not the noun "bed" (Welsh (g)wely). Some English cities which have developed more recently, but with which Welsh people have had commercial links through trading or other economic associations such as through population migration, have developed Welsh forms of their English names. Examples are Bryste (Bristol) and Lerpwl (Liverpool), although Liverpool is dubious given that there is a Welsh derivation possible from "Y Llif" a name for the Atlantic Ocean and meaning "the flood" together with "pwll" which represents the word Pool in English place names and is generally accepted as of Brythonic origin.[citation needed]
A final set of Welsh placenames are those for settlements in England which lie close to the modern border with Wales. In some cases, such as Ross-on-Wye (Rhosan-ar-Wy) and probably Leominster (Llanllieni), the English name seems to have derived from the Welsh name. In other cases, such as Llwydlo (Ludlow) and Henffordd (Hereford), the Welsh name derived from the English name of the settlement. The Welsh name for Shrewsbury, Yr Amwythig, means "the fort in scrubland", which is one theory of the origin of the English name. Oswestry ("Oswald's tree") is in Welsh Croesoswallt ("Oswald's cross") – although Old English treow in fact meant "cross" as well as "tree".

CLUB RELEASES NEW REPORT ON NATURAL GAS EXPORTS Report disputes DOE arguments
against a full study on LNG and fracking
D.C. – Today Sierra Club released a new report highlighting the significant
risks of exporting liquefied natural gas (LNG), and calling on the U.S.
Department of Energy (DOE) to take a careful look at the dangerous effects of
increased fracking on Americans' water, air, land and health.
report, titled "Look Before the LNG Leap," cautions against the
rubber stamp approval of proposed liquefied natural gas export facilities, and refutes
the Department of Energy's claim that it cannot predict where new fracking will
occur as a result of approved LNG exports. The DOE has been using this argument
as its main reason against performing a thorough environmental impact statement
to study the full effects of exporting natural gas. The report shows that DOE's
own energy models can and do make those predictions.
Department of Energy should look at the full picture of what exporting LNG will
mean for Americans' health, communities and check books," said Deb Nardone,
Sierra Club's Beyond Natural Gas campaign director. "If we blindly move
forward with LNG exports, the American people will be left footing the bill
while natural gas companies rake in more cash with zero accountability for
their toxic pollution."
natural gas to foreign countries would increase dirty, dangerous fracking in
Americans' backyards, drive up energy prices for American families and put
Americans' health and our climate at risk – while doing nothing to address our
nation's energy challenges. DOE must do the right thing and begin an open,
public environmental impact assessment before we blindly transform the energy
landscape and communities across the country.
new report underscores the urgent need to move beyond all fossil fuels,"
saidNardone. "An economy based on energy efficiency and clean energy sources
like wind and solar is the only safe and responsible way to achieve true energy
security while putting Americans to work."

I Announce My Candidacy For Governor of Pennsylvania
Hanger's Facts of The Day Blog Nov 28 I announce today my candidacy for

former enviro chief to run for governor
News Ellen M. Gilmer Nov 28 (full text below) The state official who led
Pennsylvania through the start of the Marcellus Shale boom is launching a bid
for governor.
Hanger, a Democrat who headed the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP)
from 2008 to 2011, said he will announce today his plans to challenge
Republican Gov. Tom Corbett in the 2014 election.
is known as a champion of both natural gas and renewable energy, having served
previously as DEP secretary, head of the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission
and founding president of the environmental group PennFuture.
major challenge remains maximizing the benefits and minimizing the costs of gas
production for Pennsylvania and the country," Hanger wrote on his blog
last week. "More can and must be done to do both. And doing so will
increase public acceptance of gas drilling across the Commonwealth and the
natural gas industry sources said they view Hanger as a fair regulator who
during his time at DEP encouraged shale development for its economic benefits
but worked to establish a foundation of regulation to lessen drilling's
his background, the easy road for him on the shale issue would have been to
just ignore the science and indulge the activists and hucksters up there who
wanted to see all development stopped, period," said Chris Tucker of
Energy In Depth, an arm of the Independent Petroleum Association of America.
he didn't do that, and probably lost a few friends as a result," Tucker
added. "I think what he gained, though, is the respect of others who saw
someone who takes science seriously and wasn't afraid to speak up when he
thought it was being distorted or abused."
currently works as an attorney in Harrisburg and as an energy consultant. He
regularly comments on national and state energy issues in news interviews and
on his blog: http://johnhanger.blogspot.com/
said he plans to talk more about his vision for natural gas in Pennsylvania
after his bid is officially announced during news conferences in Philadelphia
and Harrisburg today.

Back to the Thar, I think the new addition of some plates for the dashboard has improved upon the looks (not much) but I do hope the material has seem some improvement too. Why the delay in release? I haven't yet seen one in Coimbatore, not even in the showroom. Edit: Just checked the site. It is still not made available here. Children of a lesser God?

BHPian | Re: Mahindra Thar : Test Drive & Review Completely agree to Navpreet and Janjua. A lot of muck has been piled on this vehicle, for not being this and that, but the fact remains that no other STOCK vehicle comes close to the value this vehicle can offer per rupee. So, for me, it'll either end up being the Thar (with AC and HT - company/dealer or aftermarket) or some Bolero avatar (Something seems to be cooking out there). For now, wait and watch, with money in the FD. :-)) |

BHPian | Re: Mahindra Thar : Test Drive & Review Behram Sir, Getting a Hardtop for Thar should not be an issue, since you are there in M&M. I mean if you were using something like this in the 80's, are the prospective Thar customers asking for more? (I am not 1 of them) Picture courtesy Jalex. Thanks. |

| Re: Mahindra Thar : Test Drive & Review I have been following the Thar from whenever it was discussed, the scoop thread, the expo thread and launch - and related discussions on FRFA, IFS and all of it. I have always wanted a Jeep (seeing all the Army jeeps around),And I was very keen on the Major - that's when I got to Team BHP and SVsantosh's thread on Major. Since I had nothing to contribute - I was just reading all of it and learning I had already made up my mind to buy the Thar whenever it was launched. Its been my laptop screen background ever since. I am still driving my first car a 2005 model Zen. Yes, i did my round of scouting for used jeeps and gave up that idea once I realized what price those are available and what one has to go through for getting it to some form of reliability.(I followed Harjeev's thread and many others). There was always some issue or other that i could read - over heating, leakage or something else . And I almost bought the Gypsy...there was nothing else.. Anyway, I also had the opportunity to test drive the Thar last month at India Garage in Bangalore albeit for a short 10-15 min drive in the city. Others have written eloborate experiences so no need to add anything from my side except that I liked whatever it has to offer. Since I had already made my mind - there was only arranging the finance - which I was acutally glad was available as from my experience finding finance for soft top was difficult. No need to make the full payment. I had asked the sales consultant to call me around mid of Feb, since they did not call- I had called them today and was told to call them back in another 2 months as they are not accepting booking. I am fine with it, I have a car to drive around and couple more months means I can save for those tyres / alloys or perhaps the AC. I had a few questions. 1. Can I get a Thar CRDE in White color - I don't mind it looking like a taxi or whatever, I like white - but its sad that it is not avialable. Is it at all possible. 2. My brother drives a Scorpio and I notice that also has the carpeting that Thar has - and I read that should be removed. If that absorbs and retains water - why is the manufacturer giving that. Is it only to reduce NHV from the engine bay ? at the expense of having to deal with rust later on? 3. Say if I have another 50-60K left after paying for the stock Thar - how best can I spend that amount .Should it go for AT Tyres and alloys or should it go towards the AC with the soft top.I am aware its not very effective but for that cool air when really required . I am not keen on the hard top as of now - though I must admit I do not know what it means to drive a soft top as a daily drive. Cheers ! Carrot |

| Re: Mahindra Thar : Test Drive & Review Even I noticed that. Especially they mentioning that it can do 95% of the off-roading that other jeeps can do. Anyway, it looks like there are no production/deliveries and they are yet to launch the Thar in other cities. |

| Re: Mahindra Thar : Test Drive & Review Hi, Can anyone please confirm as to why the Thar bookings have been stopped and the dealerships are refusing bookings. Is it because they are overbooked, compared to production capacity or is it because M&M is trying to correct some of the issues with the production vehicle (interiors/tailgate opening lever etc. that have been hi-lighted by all). If the above 2 reasons are not true, then it means that there is a marketing concern & M&M haven't got their act right. Yikes! |

Team-BHP Support | Re: Mahindra Thar : Test Drive & Review Some people were asking about pictures of the soft top Thar CRDe. Don't know if its been posted earlier, but I caught one during a recent visit to Milestone. Quote:
Completely agreed. The only other option today is the Gypsy, and we've already discussed the pros & cons. But expecting a vehicle without disadvantage is stuff of dreams. If the Thar has shoddy interiors, the Gypsy has a bone-jarring ride, poor FE and 1/3rd the low end torque. | |

The soft top is unimpressive! but is suppose I am not contributing anything new. I remember going thru a official Mahindra website for modding the Boleros with genuine kits from Mahindra. They had very attractive options depicited. Hopefully the same will be launched for the Thar. IMO the Thar is positioned right if M&M can relook the quality issues and provide a large array of equipment options as add on. As far as I can see the Thar has the basics right for being a cult thingy. | |

1) you can always repaint the car white if you like. 2) The carpet and the firewall cloth is the same in the Thar. Please throw them out immidiately. They are completely useless as they absorb water and do not help in anyways. The company gives it as it was allready there with them and does not cost them anything. The car does not need the carpet to be soaked in water inorder to catch rust, it does so even without it. 3) The car comes with good tyres and if you do not plan on offroading, i suggest you let them be. The max you could do is get alloys in 6j for them. The top might look shoody and bad to you, but when you see it up close, they have channels to hold it tight and this is done to make it as sealed as possible for the AC. I did not like it too when i saw pictures, but now i kind of like my car with it. Quote:
I dont think thats gonna be the case Mafia. Mahindra wont look into any angle except commercial. They have provided you with the customisation option and that too IMO is a waste of money. Quote:
The owner does not need to be an offroader or someone who plans on taking the car swimming, to change the carpet provided. The carpet starts to tear even if someone sits in the rear and moves his foot around, spill water, while drinking and she is soaked. It is a complete no no from my side to retain it. Now this is subjective to the cost of the ac charged by the dealership. I dont recommend getting it done from them, an outside AC person is also capable of doing it at a cheaper cost. The dealerships do the same thing and charge you extra. Now cheaper does not mean a road side person or cost cutting. It means a professional AC person. I was told 42 grand by the dealership for my car and that too the person they were sending it too was experimenting with the dealership car and then would do the same with mine. I sent it to a professional and had a quote of 25 grand to do the job. Here is a picture of my car. Last edited by speedy : 19th February 2011 at 13:28. | |||||

Finally some good assessment of a new vehicle!Thats how it should be taken. Speedy:Good looking alloys! Do share the wheel and tire size details.Is the overall Dia lesser than the stock tires? or is it because you have removed the plastic fenders.

Senior - BHPian | Re: Mahindra Thar : Test Drive & Review Thanks Navpreet318. The Alloys are 15x8j and the tyres are 31x10.5x15. I have removed the fiber wheel arches and the foot board too. This would contribute in her looking taller. I do plan on getting a lift done once we have completed our mods. Last edited by speedy : 19th February 2011 at 13:55. |

Some history on our house from a neighbor (Michelle): This house was built by Wally and his wife Lee Davis along with what was then a Mother-in Law cottage to the southwest of your pool. Their first house in the neighborhood was actually the one on your right looking out from the front door of this property, which they also built. Wally had a small engineering firm in Palo Alto. The Davis' eventually built yet a third home on Corte Madera Road - where their daughter and her family now live. The houses across the street on the left were all built at the same time and the one on the corner (Canyon/Cresent) was once an actual logging cabin (or so we believed as children) and was converted to a full house by the Bells who still reside there. To my count 7 families have lived in your house (including a family that rented for the summer a couple of years) since it was built - you are the lucky 7 folks!
Katherine on the left the first time we went to look at the house. That is the property manager agent by the front door (Connie Ahern with California Property Services).
A view from one end of the swimming pool area.
A view from the other end of the swimming pool area.
Me sitting enjoying the pool. I had JUST bought and installed that swimming pool cover to retain more heat (make the pool warmer).
The view of the backyard from the upstairs "guest bedroom" balcony. You can barely see the end of the pool at the opposite end of the property.
The main living room, looking out over the pool (to the right) and the back garden filled with Oak trees straight ahead.
The view of the living room facing more to the right (towards the front of of the house). The blue pen is for Chou Chou, who has a back strain and not allowed to run around or hop on furniture. We have one pen in each room so he can always be with us, but is prevented from hopping up and down off furniture which we NORMALLY allow but right now his back needs to heal.
Looking up in the living room to the vaulted ceiling in that living room. The dark wood sucks a little too much light out of the room.
A view of the kitchen from the living room. The appliances are brand new, the stove is off to the right across from the refrigerator. Notice Chou Chou's blue pen for when we are in the kitchen.
The dining room (still a few boxes left to unpack). The white shoji screen blocks one of the two entrances to our master bedroom.
The master bedroom is seen below. And there is the blue pen is for Chou Chou.
As I was driving home in the first week of living in Portola Valley, I saw this deer in the front yard of the house across the street.
Actually it was two deer.

This innovative text helps you sharpen your economic intuition--an invaluable skill that helps you, as a future manager, decide which products to produce, costs to consider, and prices to charge, as well as the best hiring policy and the most effective style of organization. With its unique integrative approach, the text demonstrates that important business decisions are interdisciplinary, illustrating how different functions work together. A basic valuation model is constructed and used as the underlying economic model of the firm; each topic is then related to an element of the value maximization model--a process that shows how management integrates accounting, finance, marketing, personnel, and production functions. The text also provides an intuitive guide to marginal analysis and basic economic relations. Once you understand the importance of marginal revenue and marginal costs, the process of economic optimization becomes intuitively obvious. A wide variety of examples and simple numerical problems vividly illustrate the application of managerial economics to a vast assortment of practical situations. FUNDAMENTALS OF MANAGERIAL ECONOMICS, 9e International Edition, teaches you to more effectively collect, organize, and analyze information, giving you powerful tools that can help you become more successful--and satisfied--in your career.

If you fight, will we last?
All my life, everyone around me made sure I was weak. My father. My sister. And now the man my father forced me to marry. But Oliver doesn't know what I know. Strength can come even in the hardest times, and if you're willing to fight for love, nothing can stand in your way.
For the first time in my life, I'm fighting back, and with Ryder by my side, I'm never letting myself be weak again.
They want us to be their pawns, but I won't let them use her like that. I promised I'd protect Serena, and if it costs me everything in this world, I will.
Even if it means returning to the one place I swore I'd never go back to again.

NAB: Cinematographer Dean Cundey Will Join Fujifilm to Debut Its New Color Management Tool
The Hollywood Reporter -- Fujifilm is debuting its new IS-mini color management tool next week at the NAB Show in Las Vegas. Joining the company for the launch will be Dean Cundey, the veteran cinematographer behind such seminal films as Jurassic Park and Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
The IS-mini is a small hardware device that uses 1D or 3D LUTs to convert color information from an HD-SDI input; it has both HD-SDI and HDMI outputs.
This can be used as a stand-alone or together with Fujifilm's CCBOXX ACES-based image processing system for on-set color management. Users might include directors of photography, digital imaging technicians and colorists.
Cundey will be a guest at the company's NAB exhibit to talk about the technology as well as his work. His latest project is a film tentatively titled Something Whispered, starring Cuba Gooding Jr. and directed by Peter Cousens.
At NAB, the CCBOXX will be demonstrated with the AJA Ki Pro Mini recording device.

Sequential Cystatin C Levels and Renal Impairment in Acute Heart Failure
- Full Text View
- Tabular View
- No Study Results Posted
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
Renal Compromise after treatment of decompensated heart failure with diuretics is not uncommon. The purpose of our study is to investigate the relationship between cystatin C and worsening renal function in this setting. Cystatin C is a biomarker produced at a constant rate by all cells that is a sensitive biomarker of renal function.Cystatin C and Plasma amino terminal proB-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) levels will be obtained at baseline and daily. Our goal is to enroll 100 subjects with an estimated 5 samples per each subject. The time course of changes in cystatin C in relation to serum creatinine levels over time will be plotted.
Our hypothesis is that sequential changes in cystatin C levels following initial treatment with diuretic therapy in the setting of acute decompensated heart failure may provide early insight into cardio-renal compromise. Understanding the natural history and time course of the changes in sequential cystatin C levels may facilitate further studies to guide the judicious use of diuretic therapy in acute decompensated heart failure, and to predict the risk of subsequent development of worsening renal function. If serial testing of cystatin C can provide accurate assessment and prediction of worsening renal function, clinical applications of these observations can be evaluated in future prospective studies.

Acute Heart Failure Renal Failure |
Study Type: | Observational |
Study Design: | Observational Model: Cohort Time Perspective: Prospective |
Official Title: | Sequential Cystatin C Levels and Renal Impairment in Acute Heart Failure |
- To examine the natural history of cystatin C levels during diuretic therapy in ADHF [ Time Frame: 7 days ]
- To determine the predictive value of changes in sequential cystatin C levels to subsequent development of WRF [ Time Frame: 7 days ]
- The combined outcome of either death in hospital or death within 90 days after discharge or readmission to the hospital facility for heart failure within 90 days [ Time Frame: 90 days ]
Biospecimen Retention: Samples Without DNA
Enrollment: | 64 |
Study Start Date: | November 2007 |
Study Completion Date: | October 2014 |
Primary Completion Date: | December 2013 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure) |
Groups/Cohorts |
Patients admitted to the hospital with decompensated heart failure
Detailed Description:
This is a single-center, prospective, cohort study. The design of this pilot study focuses on the feasibility to complete the project in a short period of time by the applicant. Subjects will be identified in the morning after their hospital admission and informed consent will be obtained for the study. At the time of enrollment blood samples and urine samples will be collected as baseline, together with a brief history and physical examination to document degree of congestion and basic vital signs. In addition their unused (to be discarded) blood samples from previous clinical labs from this admission may be retrieved from the clinical laboratory.
Patients will be followed daily, and each day a blood draw and urine sample will be obtained for research purposes until the day of discharge. Changes in vital signs, available laboratory data for serum creatinine and BUN, and congestion score will be documented. Physicians treating the patient will be blinded from the laboratory results. Because of the small sample size and the low anticipated rate of adverse events, this study uses a combined outcome of either death in hospital, death within 90 days after discharge or readmission to the hospital facility for heart failure within 90 days. Patients will be called after 90 days for follow up if readmission or death information is not available in the Electronic Medical Record.
Specific aims include:
Specific Aim 1 - To examine the natural history of changes in sequential cystatin C levels during diuretic therapy in Acute Decompensated Heart Failure.
Specific Aim 2 - To determine the predictive value of changes in sequential cystatin C levels to subsequent development of worsening renal function (WRF) and WRF in association with aminoterminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) levels.
Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years and older (Adult, Senior) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Sampling Method: | Probability Sample |
Inclusion Criteria:
- Hospital admission within 48 hours for ADHF, with an expected stay over 24 hours.
- Evidence of fluid overload, including jugular venous distention, pulmonary rales, peripheral edema, and/or ascites receiving diuretic therapy
Exclusion Criteria:
- Heart failure due to congenital heart disease or critical aortic stenosis (potentially different cardio-renal pathophysiology)
- Acute myocardial infarction or unstable acute coronary syndromes
- End-stage renal insufficiency on renal replacement therapy (already has underlying advanced renal failure).
- Patients with active cancer (cystatin C has been shown to be produced by some tumors)
- Known exposure to nephrotoxic agents (such as contrast dye) or planned surgery during hospitalization at the time of enrollment
- Hemoglobin < 9 mg/dL or clinically significant active bleeding.
- Unable to comply with protocol or unable to have informed consent

Very Nice! I purchased this set for my boyfriend's trip to the Omega Psi Phi conclave in Vegas. They're a bit thin/flimsy for my taste, but he loves them! They also come with a five year warranty. Good buy!

Love the look, but the other most zippers break. The airlines are constantly causing the outer from pocket zippers to break. They last longer if you leave that front pocket empty. But they are cool, original and the color is vibrant!

Camo Luggage I purchased this set of luggage for my grandson for his upcoming birthday. He enjoys hunting and fishing with his dad and grandpa. He also needed luggage for trips to camp and vacations. This set is perfect for his age (10) and his interests. I am very satisfied with the quality and design of this product.

cant beat the price! I originally bought this luggage set for my 6 year old son and he absolutely loves the camo pattern since his Dad is a soldier. I was impressed when I received it very quickly to start with and I didn't realize just HOW much the luggage expands - a lot! The zippers seem pretty durable - I've used the smallest rolling suitcase to travel with already and the zipper never caught or anything on the clothing I packed. Some of the seams seem like they could have been reinforced a little better, but overall this is a great little set and it'll last my son for years to come hopefully!
