Ajay Goenka, the chairman of Rainbow Papers Ltd., a large paper company listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange, has met Mr. Modi many times. He once lobbied the chief minister to change Gujarat state government procurement restrictions that prohibited departments and agencies from buying local, Gujarat-made paper. Mr. Goenka received a letter that evening informing him that it was done. In a country where approvals can take months, or hefty bribes, this was remarkable. "In other states, it would have cost us time and money both," Mr. Goenka says, noting that local businesses regularly bribed officials before Mr. Modi took office.
Among Indian business people, Mr. Modi is revered with a fervour bordering worship. Mr. Goenka, who once gave Mr. Modi a copy of a Ripley's Believe it or Not book as a gift and received a signed thank you note in return, recalls a telling meeting. Mr. Goenka says: "One industrialist just said 'I want to touch him.' "
Divisive leadership
Mr. Modi, of course, is also well known for his polarizing politics, stoking Hindu-Muslim tensions and leaning heavily on a record of economic development that many critics think is burnished and distorted. He has become broadly popular because of the state of the national economy, but the situation in his home state – partly because of his own reliance on his track record – has haunted him during the campaign.
In 2002, anti-Muslim violence flared across his state, leaving more than 1,000 people dead – most of them Muslims. Many police officers did nothing. And some in Mr. Modi's administration were implicated. Since the violence, human rights groups have had to fight Mr. Modi's regime for compensation and housing, since many buildings and mosques were torched. At one point, Mr. Modi referred to the Muslim resettlement communities in Gujarat as "baby-making factories," but as he has run nationally, he has toned down that sort of rhetoric – although one of Mr. Modi's close confidantes was recently warned by the Election Commission of India after exhorting Hindus to get "revenge" against Muslims by voting for the BJP.
For these reasons, many see Mr. Modi – who rose through a hard-line, Hindu nationalist organization – as an unfit leader for such a diverse country. Nandan Nilekani, the billionaire foudner of Infosys and a candidate for the rival Congress party in tech-centric Bangalore, says Mr. Modi is a divisive, dictatorial leader.
"I think running India is very different from running a state," Mr. Nilekani says in an interview. "Running India is managing the complexity of different parts of the country. Different religions. Different language groups. Different castes. Different ethnic groups. It requires a very broadminded and very consensus-oriented leader."
But Mr. Modi's rise on economic credentials have led to a critical re-examination of his state's development. Despite strong growth and the opening of facilities from firms such as McCain and Bombardier, Gujarat still trails other states such as Tamil Nadu in terms of both economic growth and foreign direct investment.
The state has also regressed on some social metrics during Mr. Modi's time in office: Malnutrition remains high, the state's literacy ranking has fallen, the ratio that measures female infanticide has gotten worse, and the percentage of state funds spent on health has declined.
Gujarat has not been immune to India's tragic, debt-prompted farmer suicides. Critics view Mr. Modi's wooing of investment with incentives and land allotments as unsustainable giveaways that do not generate well-paying jobs for the masses. Indian liberals and many academics see Mr. Modi's economic track record as a sham – and his success perplexes and frustrates them.
Still, Gujarat remains one of India's top-performing states, at a time when the national economy is faltering. And although Mr. Modi and his party are not immune to putting politics before free markets – on issues such as foreign investment in the retail sector – polls suggest that Indians see him and the BJP as the ones to fix the current economic mess. But if he does come into power, fixes – if coalition politics allow them – won't be instant.
Reverting to his car analogy, Mr. Pathak says India's business class is not expecting too much. "He'll put the car back in first gear," he says. "Then second. That's more than enough for us. We don't expect miracles."Report Typo/Error

PHILADELPHIA, May 20 /PRNewswire/ -- The region's manufacturing sector is growing, but at a slower pace this month, according to the Business Outlook Survey, compiled by the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia Research Department. While most of the survey's indicators remain positive, current indicators have been moving lower in recent months. Firms still expect the manufacturing sector to expand, but they are less optimistic about future growth. Future economic indicators continued to deteriorate this month with some indicators falling to their lowest levels in more than two years. Current Conditions The survey's general activity diffusion index declined from a level of 24.6 in April to 11.3 this month. The decline in the index suggests that growth is continuing, but at a slower pace than in the previous month. The index is considerably lower than the levels recorded in January and February and is now at its lowest level since October of last year. The difference between those firms reporting increases and those reporting decreases also narrowed for other current economic indicators this month. The shipments index declined marginally from a reading of 21.9 in April to 19.5 this month. About 36 percent of those surveyed report increases in shipments this month, while 17 percent report declines. The index for new orders also declined from a level of 18.6 in April to 11.2 this month. Only 29 percent of firms report increases in new orders this month, compared with 38 percent reporting increases in April and nearly 48 percent for January and February of this year. The diffusion index for unfilled orders moved into the negative range this month, declining from a level of 5.9 in April to -3.4. About 51 percent of the manufacturing firms report no change in unfilled orders, 24 percent report a decline, and 21 percent report an increase. Inventories are, on balance, lower this month: 28 percent of the firms report declines, compared with 16 percent reporting increases. Current employment indicators for this month's survey suggest no overall change in the number of factory workers and average hours worked. Of the firms polled, 64 percent report no change in the number of workers compared with the previous month, and the percentage that report hiring additional workers (18 percent) is nearly matched by the percentage trimming their work force (16 percent). Prices Manufactured goods prices remain stable, despite reported increases in the costs of inputs. The diffusion index for prices received, which has remained slightly positive for the last four months, declined to 1.2 this month from a 7.2 reading in April. A large percentage of firms (79 percent) report no change in their own prices this month, and the percentage of firms reporting falling prices (10 percent) nearly offsets the percentage reporting price increases (11 percent). The index for prices paid by manufacturers, however, increased from a reading of 13.8 in April to 19.9 this month -- nearly 24 percent of the firms responding to the survey indicate that their input prices were higher than in the previous survey month, and only 4 percent report lower input prices. Along with rising input costs, a sizable percentage of firms expect higher prices for their goods in the next six months. The overall diffusion index for future prices received, which now stands at 27.2, has remained near its current level for the past eight months. Outlook In their six-month forecast, survey respondents indicate that optimism about future manufacturing growth is deteriorating. For the third consecutive month the future general activity index has declined (see chart). The index now stands at 19.9, declining from 36.8 in April and 70.7 in February. The index is now at its lowest level since January 1991. Although the other indicators of future activity remain positive, they also edged lower this month. Diffusion indexes for future new orders and shipments paralleled the decline in the future general activity index. Polled firms indicate that the current level of unfilled orders will remain the same over the next six months, and delivery times are expected to be unchanged. With regard to employment, the largest percentage of firms (55 percent) anticipates no change for current levels. Only 16 percent of those reporting plan to hire additional workers, and 27 percent plan to make cuts. The future employment index is now negative, after remaining positive for most of the past two years (see chart). Summary Responses from this month's Business Outlook Survey suggest that the region's manufacturing growth is slowing. Although the percentage of firms reporting growth in new orders and shipments exceeds the percentage reporting declines, the difference has narrowed relative to the previous month and earlier in the year. Employment conditions are reported unchanged this month, and manufacturing goods prices are stable. Although manufacturing growth is expected to continue over the next six months, survey responses indicate a significant decline in optimism over recent months. Manufacturing firms show no signs of increasing employment in the near future. BUSINESS OUTLOOK SURVEY: MAY 1993 Indicator May vs. April Decr. No Incr.

For more background information on the Syrian Civil War check out this post, or read my latest piece on Syria.
The Syrian Civil War is approaching its 33rd month, over 126,000 have now been killed in the conflict thus far, and neither side is gaining significant ground. Experts predicting the imminent collapse of the Assad regime or a routing of the opposition are few and far between as it appears increasingly unlikely that either side will be able to secure outright victory through military means alone in the foreseeable future.
The two key dates on the horizon are January 22nd, 2014, the proposed date for the Geneva II peace talks, and mid-2014, the expected date of destruction for all Syrian chemical weapons. The expectations attached to both suggest that the status quo of continual fighting is unfortunately not likely to change.
The Geneva II talks hopes to bring together the opposition and regime with American and Russian diplomats to initiate discussion with the primary goal of ending the violence and setting the groundwork for a transitional Syria.
The negotiations at Geneva are the best chance for a breakthrough in the conflict since little is changing on the battlefield. However, there have already been significant issues that make the Geneva prospects look less than promising. The talks have been pushed back multiple times, and while the regime says Assad stepping down is out of the question, the opposition has reiterated time and time again a Syria without Assad is their top demand moving forward.
While both Assad and the Syrian National Coalition have skeptically agreed to attend the Geneva II talks, unless they can set aside the leadership issue it is tough to imagine anything productive may be accomplished at all. Small steps towards reducing violence, such as the safe passage of refugees and the protection of civilians should take precedence over future political settlements in the negotiations.
The Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) mission to remove all chemical weapons from Syria is on track thus far, having destroyed all the means of production. However they have set a goal of mid-2014 to eliminate all weapons which implies that even the international powers who signed on to their mission don't expect the conflict to end for at least another half a year.
While strategic towns and supply lines continue to exchange hands back and forth between the regime and the opposition, neither side is making serious progress against the other. Instead the war is spilling over further into Lebanon and the death toll continues to rise. Recently, the lack of medical care has become so disastrous cases of polio have reemerged after the disease was eradicated from Syria more than ten years prior.
All this proves that the political settlement should take a backseat to basic humanitarian concerns. At this point, even if Assad were to suddenly disappear from the scene and the regime were to immediately collapse, the result would be further jockeying for power among the opposition groups. On one hand, Assad should recognize that he will never preside over a stable Syria again and change his tactics accordingly to consider a future without him at the top. On the other, the opposition should realize that their efforts thus far at trying to defeat Assad outright have fallen short. If they cannot present themselves as a legitimate opposition and minimize the extremist factions also countering the regime, their alternative Syria isn't assuredly better than one with Assad.
The US, Russia, and Syrian actors involved should focus Geneva II on the critical needs of civilians first. Reducing the fighting is paramount, and advantageous to the rebels especially. A basic framework, excluding contentious issues like Assad's role, should be sought, because focusing too much on the deeper political future of Syria could derail the discussion completely. If the opposition really is serious about a Syria without Assad, they should begin preparing for it constructively outside of the battlefield.

Project DescriptionGreening a Landmark
Whitin Observatory has existed as a hidden landmark on Wellesley College's campus for over 100 years, immersed in the woods of their extraordinary Arboretum. The classical white marble landmark, built in 1900, was built to house the best telescope of its time in New England. The challenge was to update the much loved - yet outdated - facility, while incorporating state of the art science teaching labs for Wellesley's emerging program in environmental studies.
designLAB devised a complete re-organization which cut a new top-lit gallery corridor through the existing spaces creating a new path to the environmental studies classroom and access to their 'field lab', the Arboretum. The strategic 'cut' allowed the reveal of a buried original marble-clad façade within the new galley corridor. The collection of existing additions were re-clad in etched mirrored glass, the same material as the new additions, so the 'new' building composition was only marble and glass, rather than a collage of mismatched materials. The etched glass volumes appear ephemeral as they reflect the surrounding woodland showing deference to the solidity of the original stone structure.
A New Identity from Old to New
Together with the glazing sub-contractor, the design team developed a modification of ordinary storefront system mock-ups, used as a rainscreen and fitted with transparent and etched-mirrored glass. During the renovations, the original character of the 1900 and 1906 marble wings was restored, reinforcing their place as the true 'home' of astronomy.
The Result
Given its remote location, the Observatory was somewhat hidden and obscured to students who were not enrolled in the astronomy curriculum. Since completion, the observatory's classrooms, both new and restored, have become popular places to learn for students from all majors. The project elevated the significance of the original landmark, important in the memory of many Wellesley alums and donors, while placing the College on the leading edge of programs addressing the issues of our environment.

ESPNLA's Dave McMenamin has the news here.
The Lakers, says the report, are kicking the tires on a few of the backup bigs available, while continuing contact with their own free agent, Jordan Hill. On the radar include vets Antawn Jamison, Elton Brand, and Jermaine O'Neal. The hope is any of the three could be added via veteran's minimum contracts, preserving their mini-mid level "in case a Howard deal goes down involving multiple players and they are left needing to fill a glaring void," writes McMenamin. "Not only is adding a backup big man a priority because signing Hill might not work out, but because Josh McRoberts and his expiring $3.1 million contract have drawn interest from other teams in potential Howard trade scenarios."
Seems reasonable enough.
As for the three names above, a few thoughts:
Jamison is still a productive offensive player -- though his efficiency slipped considerably in '11-'12 -- and certainly the Lakers could do a lot worse off the bench, at least on that end of the floor. While not a major threat from downtown, he can stretch the floor a little. Defensively he's ... very bad. The Cavs were 10 points worse with him on the floor last season, and five points worse the year before. It's possible the opportunity to play meaningful games next to teammates holding him accountable will bring out his best, but that's a tough muscle to start flexing at 36, even if you want to. So he wouldn't stiffen the D, but he'd bring badly needed points off the bench, and for a little north of a million bucks, that's no small consideration.
Brand would be great, but there's no way he'll make it through the amnesty waivers process and provide the Lakers an opportunity to woo him. They might as well put Kevin Durant or a brachiosaurus on their "short list."
O'Neal has played 49 games over the last two seasons, and was last a productive player in '08-'09 with Miami. The good news -- He missed most of last season with a wrist injury, allowing his battered knees to rest. The bad -- His knees remain suspect. If healthy, O'Neal could be a pretty useful backup big, particularly defensively where he remains pretty stout, but that's a big "if." The Lakers need reliable bodies behind Andrew Bynum and Pau Gasol, and O'Neal seems like a frontcourt depth problem waiting to happen. Yes, he'd be cheap, but it's still a bad signing if it prevents the Lakers from inking a different player who would be more productive. Plus, while having two members of the '96 Draft class (Kobe Bryant, Steve Nash) is kind of adorable, adding a third feels like a bad idea.

BHP Billiton to move trading to Singapore - sources
BHP Billiton
We currently have a consultation process underway about the closure of the Hague Office, a BHP Billiton spokesman said, but declined to comment further.
All the traders and staff in The Hague will be moved to Singapore but quite a few people don't want to or can't relocate, one industry source said.
The mining major is the latest commodity firm to relocate the centre of its trading or sales to Singapore because of its proximity to growing Asian markets and tax advantages, industry sources said.
BHPB has offices already in Basel, Antwerp and large marketing and trading teams in Singapore handling energy coal, coking coal, iron ore and non-ferrous metals.
Several years ago the company moved some of their operations including freight to Basel in Switzerland.

Marji Laine reviews.
I had a delightful time reading Shake Down by Jill Elizabeth Nelson. A new author for me, but I saw her interview on Suspense Sisters, so I couldn't resist trying out this Love Inspired Suspense.
Here is the set-up:
Real estate agent Janice Swenson travels to Martha's Vineyard to prepare the house of a notorious, late gangster for sale on behalf of the heir. At least that's her story. Her secrets don't entirely protect her, though. Vandalism and what seems like random attacks continue to plague her. And the nearby neighbor who keeps hanging around provides protection, but often shows up at strange moments.
That neighbor, Shane Gillum, has secrets of his own, as well as ulterior motives for moving into a rental near the gangster's home. The arrival of the Realtor stifles his desperate search. But someone is intent to end all activity at the house and rid Martha's Vineyard of both Janice and Shane.
Janice is sure that her secrets are causing the problems, and she regrets putting Shane at risk. At the same time, Shane worries about Janice in her treacherous position at the house. Yet neither can trust the other enough to share the truths...and keeping silent about the mysterious place knots them both in the cottage's deadly secrets.
Great things go on in this book! Both characters have strong back-stories that seep out a little at a time. Both also, despite the chemistry that is immediately apparent between them, have good reasons to avoid anything resembling romance. (Yeah, right.) The author challenges readers with the twists and quick turns in this story, and the characters practically jump from the page. Especially a huge shaggy dog named Atlas. What a hoot he is!
I loved this book and look forward to enjoining more from Jill Elizabeth Nelson. Her story is perfect for a day of rest and indulgence. Grab that favorite warm drink and a truffle and enjoy!
More about the reviewer:
Marji Laine is an aspiring novelist, but has a number of collaborative novellas to her credit. In fact, the latest one, Love Boat Bachelor, is currently appearing at Write Integrity Press and will be available for free at Amazon on February 14th. In addition to writing, she's spent the last month photographing various events for friends and family and is looking forward to gaining a daughter-in-love very soon.

We travel to the Round Rock area at least three times a year for a week at a time. We have young children, so finding a good place to stay is difficult. We like Country Inn & Suites for many reasons. The most important thing is that they have suites available with a separate bedroom with a closing door. We are not interested in going to sleep at 7:00 with our children. In a typical hotel room we would have lights out and trying to work in the dark. The hotel provides breakfast which has a good variety and changes daily. For extended stays it is nice to have some variety available. We have stayed at this location often enough that the staff knows us and greets us by name upon our arrival which always makes me feel like I am 'home'.
We have also stayed at about four other hotels in Round Rock and have never had a satisfying stay. Between loud noise, poor housekeeping and awful beds; we always went looking for something better. About two years ago we found Country Inn & Suites and have not stayed anywhere else during our trips since.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- For a comfortable stay in the North Austin, TX area, choose the Country Inn & Suites By Carlson, Round Rock, TX. When you make this property your relaxation destination, you put yourself near the area's top attractions, including Inner Space Caverns, Dell Diamond, Old Settlers Park, Rock'n River Family Aquatic Center and Round Rock Premium Outlets. During your hotel stay, take advantage of numerous ways to relax and recharge, including free high-speed Internet access for staying connected, a complimentary, hot Be Our Guest Breakfast buffet for stress-free mornings, an outdoor pool for unwinding and a fitness center for de-stressing. It's easy to make yourself at home when you land at the Country Inn & Suites Round Rock. ... more less

ALEXANDRIA — Jyron Walker and Joshua Matthews connected on a 46-yard Hail Mary pass on the game's final play to help Dunham earn a 27-24 win over Menard in the Division III select playoffs Friday night.
"I saw the ball go up. They tipped it up in the air and I took it off of one of the defensive player's hands," Matthews said.
Dunham (7-4) rallied from a 10-point second half deficit to earn the win. Walker completed 16 of 31 passes for 174 yard and rushed for 56 yards. Chase Day ran for 100 yards and three touchdowns for the Tigers.
Austin Vaughan ran for 125 yards and two touchdowns for Menard (6-5).
Division I
JESUIT 42, ST. AUGUSTINE 14: Jesuit left little in doubt during its first-round Division I playoff win at Tad Gormley Stadium.
Sixth-seeded Jesuit (9-2) and advances to play St. Thomas More next week.
Grinding out yardage behind its offensive line anchored with four seniors, the Blue Jays jumped to a 21-0 lead by halftime and coasted from there. Jesuit gained 287 yards rushing on 47 carries against the Knights (4-6).
BROTHER MARTIN 63, SHAW 21: Three weeks after Brother Martin beat Shaw in a game that went down to the end, the Crusaders delivered an early knockout in the rematch.
Brother Martin, led by Jake Broggi's arm and Jared West's legs, put together a near flawless performance to rout its Catholic League rival in the opening round of the Division I playoffs.
It was the most points Brother Martin had scored since a 59-point outing against Ruston way back in 1989. That game took three overtimes.
Division II
PARKVIEW BAPTIST 34, LUSHER 7: The Eagles ran away with a victory to open the Division II football playoffs.
In addition to outscoring the 10th-seeded Lions 21-0 in the second half, the seventh-seeded Eagles (7-3) held New Orleans-based Lusher to 74 yards and three first downs.
Nelson Smith helped lead a Parkview squad that rolled up 297 rushing yards. The junior had 80 yards on six carries and scored two touchdowns.
Division IV
SOUTHERN LAB 53, ST. FREDERICK 0: Darbbeon Profit ran for 219 yards on 18 carries and scored three touchdown and 2-point conversion as Southern Lab (6-5) advanced to the second round. Javahn Ferguson had a 41-yard touchdown run and Bladrick Veal hit Derrick Pate with a scoring pass as the Kittens put the game away early.
The Lab defense was dominant throughout the game holding St. Frederick (7-4) to 136 yards and picked off three passes with Trey Epps making two of the interceptions. Eighteen of the Lab tackles went for minus yards
VERMILION CATHOLIC 54, HOUMA CHRISTIAN 21: Hunter Frith threw for 310 yards and six touchdowns as top-seeded Vermilion Catholic cruised to a first round win in Division IV.
Tyler Derouen and Emile Trahan each caught a pair of scoring passes as Vermilion Catholic (10-1) scored all 54 points in the first three quarters.
Derouen also ran for a 20-yard TD and Chris Campbell scored on a 2-yard run as Vermilion Catholic amassed 461 yards in offense.
Drake Battaglia ran for a 12-yard score, threw a 7-yard scoring pass to John Broussard and a 6-yard TD pass to Devin Battaglia for Houma Christian, which ended the season with a 6-5 record.

The English have the 12 days of Christmas in song. The high churches have the 24 (ish) days of advent. Here at Crave Something More, I'll be writing a series called the "21 Days of CSM Christmas." Starting December 5 and finishing on Christmas Day, I will write once a day about all things Christmas, in the hopes that we will all continue to see Jesus as the greatest satisfaction to our soul's deepest cravings.
Days 18-19: The Anticlimacy of Christmas
Something's wrong with me. I'm already feeling like Christmas is anticlimactic, and it's not even Christmas yet. (And I'm making up words like anticlimacy). Most people reserve melancholy for after the fact, but not me. I like to get a jump on these sorts of things.
I suppose I'm just getting to the point in my life where the years have piled up enough to notice some things that are always true. And for me, I always find the day after Christmas to be a bit of a letdown. I don't even put all that much stock in the trappings of Christmas, but there are at least 5 things I love about Christmas, and the truth is, they never pay off. Even the good things don't pay off.
It's not the things themselves. We can say they are morally neutral. Or we can say they are gifts from God to be enjoyed, if enjoyed in the right way. And both are probably true. No, the issue is my own heart.
As I consider why this might be so, two things come to mind. First, I have unfair expectations. And second, my expectations are misplaced.
I say unfair because the good things of the Christmas season can never truly satisfy whatever it is that I, and probably you as well, are looking for. We desire a sense of peace, and comfort, and togetherness, and love, and acceptance, and joy—and a season like Christmas seems like it might just do the trick. But as happy as this season may be for some (and for others, it's not happy at all), it never delivers what we think it promises.
I say misplaced for a similar reason. If Christmas can't deliver what I'm looking for, then something must be able to do so. Lewis picked up on this: "If I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probably explanation is that I was made for another world." And while he's right, I would add to this that we were not only made for another world, but for the Person who is the chief reason for this other world.
At the end of the day, the way to avoid the inevitable letdown is to see all the good things of Christmas as the vapors that they are—and to see the One great think of Christmas as the rock that He is. Life is a vapor, and all things exist for Jesus, so enjoy the good things of Christmas, knowing they are passing away, and cling to the Rock who will never be moved.
For the rest of the 21 Days of Crave Something More Christmas, go here.

L.A. Law takes us inside the law firm of McKenzie, Brackman, Chaney and Kuzak. There, a team of ambitious and competitive attorneys must face the conflicts between their personal desires, their obligations as lawyers, and their principles as human beings. A portrayal of the law and its litigators that was both realistic and irreverent, L.A. Law became a favorite of critics and audiences alike.
|TV Channel:
This is L.A. Law, which not only is the best offering of the new television season, but the best pilot for a new show since Hill Street Blues' debut six TV seasons ago. It will, as they say, make you laugh; it will make you cry. It brandishes a superior cast and a wit and style that elevate it immediately into the rarefied Hill Street/St. Elsewhere atmospheres -- shows whose structure of interwoven story lines that dangle from episode to episode it shares. [14 Sept 1986, p.K1]Miami Herald Full Review
So rousingly well done that it seems to come from a different solar system than most contemporary episodic television shows, and yet too many rapturous panegyrics could spoil some of the fun. The two-hour pilot for the series...is so terribly and industriously entertaining that you hate to see the program lumped in with things that are supposedly "good for you." This isn't a John Chancellor commentary. This is living, breathing matter -- clever, thoughtful, ribald and hard-boiled. [15 Sept 1986, p.B1]Washington Post Full Review
It's high-pitched, unforgettable, knockout, electrifying TV...There should be a law requiring more series like NBC's new L.A. Law. [15 Sept 1986, p.C1]Los Angeles Times Full Review
Looks like the best new TV series of the fall season, filled with fascinating people, ingenious turns of plot, strong, offbeat drama, an unmistakable air of realism and some delicious bits of black comedy. [15 Sept 1986, p.C-1]San Diego Union-Tribune Full Review
A sharp, intelligent, splendidly entertaining venture that deftly draws upon a world of callousness and commitment, long hours and short fuses. [15 Sept 1986, p.5]Chicago Tribune Full Review
The cast is appealing -- particularly Hamlin, Eikenberry and Richard Dysart as the firm's fatherly senior partner -- and Bochco has become TV's most expert juggler of plots and characters. Yet the first episode of L.A. Law is considerably less daring than advertised.Time Full Review
After watching the rest of what is a very promising pilot, we are left with the unpleasant aftertaste of saccharin. A passing miscalulation, or a harbinger of episodes to come? Bring on the series. [15 Sept 1986, p.C14]The New York Times Full Review

Embracing The Waterfront In Yonkers
"Following the model of Providence, Rhode Island, which uncovered its own river in the 1990s, Yonkers is unearthing and cleaning up three segments of the Saw Mill River, which has coursed largely unseen through subterranean pipes and culverts under the city's center since the 1920s. Outdoor cafés and landscaped promenades will eventually line its banks. The first two segments, totaling one-fifth of a mile, will be completed in 2010."
"Other large-scale residential projects are already under way. They include Hudson Park North, which broke ground last winter on the site of a former lumberyard. The $125 million development is composed of two connected towers containing 294 apartments, and an esplanade that connects to a newly refurbished pier on the Hudson."

Okay, so this is completely off-topic of Creepypasta.
Alright, so I need some advice to get through this week. My little sister, Aella, died in a car accident. She was ten years old when she died, and it was the day after Christmas on the year 2013. Today (Monday, March 24th, 2014) is her birthday. I've been a mental wreck ever since this morning, and I'm not sure if I can last the week. I need some solutions to keep my mind occupied. Usually music and reading helps, but there's always something little that reminds me of my little sister Aella.
You're help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.
RIP; My dear sister Aella!!

PHOTO CREDIT: With thanks to Naomi at the Pennies for a Pound blog, for this lovely shot of our Baby Powder & Thunderstorm samples!
Here's our round-up of who's been saying what, this past week. Click through to any that you would like to read in full...!
Now then, there's been much hype about our awards-nominated Baby Powder and Thunderstorm Colognes, these past few weeks, ahead of May's Fragrance Foundation awards. But, if you're still wondering what these might smell like (though the clues are in the names!), you might like to check out the reviews on the Pennies for a Pound, Coven of Bitches, The Crown Wings, Manchester Flick Chick and Of Beauty & Nothingness blogs. We also really loved the Mrs Jonas Recommends blog's recent review of our best-selling (and her favourite!) Baby Powder Cologne, "My favourite has to be Baby Powder! It totally reminds me of the clean, cute and innocent smell of a baby (with exception to when a babies nappy needs changing)..."
Elsewhere on the www, Jessica at the JYUKIMI blog catches a whiff of our Sunshine and Red Poppies Colognes (by the way, don't expect our Red Poppies to smell like Kenzo's famous Red Poppies perfume - rather than replicate the scent of other perfumes, we replicate the scent of the living blooms - in this case, a field of wild flowers, featuring these vibrant blooms!).
Skip over to the I Scent You a Day blog if you're pondering about which cologne to buy in readiness for the hot, steamy, summer weather we're predicted to get, this year! Our Rain Cologne is featured as one of Sam's top recommendations and we can't argue that it's the most perfect, cooling, refreshing scent, which has an effect that can be likened to a tropical downpour, clearing the humid air.
Finally, girl after our own hearts, Hayley, loves gin. And on her blog, Tea Party Beauty, she very kindly rounds our Gin & Tonic up in a post about her top picks of summer scents for the forthcoming season.
Have a great week and check back next week for more news about our reviews!

Re: [Beekeeping] Definition of raw honey
Expand Messages
- I THINK RAW MEANS NOT HEATED AND PROCESSED LIKE IT IS IN STORESLinda Picazolinda_diana1@...From: pj121201 <pakjohnson@...>
To: firstname.lastname@example.com
Sent: Monday, July 22, 2013 11:31 AM
Subject: [Beekeeping] Definition of raw honey
I'm wondering what other beekeepers consider "raw" honey.
My definition is that there's nothing extra added to the honey and that it's not been heated. I do harvest my honey using a cappings scratcher and a manual 3-frame extractor, then allowing it to run through a double sieve to catch excess wax.
For "raw" honey, do you let it run through a sieve or just bottle it straight from the extractor? I've bottled it direct from the extractor and found that my "raw" honey customers (or those who said they wanted raw honey) were a bit taken aback at the layer of wax on top of the honey.
There seems to be some variable around the definition, so - how do YOU process your "raw" honey?
Pamela in Wisconsin
- >>> ... what other beekeepers consider "raw" honey.
>>> I've bottled it direct from the extractor....My recommendation would be to let the honey settle for at least 24 hours to let the debris float to the top and to skim that off so it's not a part of the bottled honey. Having this in your honey is a sales killer and can be avoided by the bottler.I strain and let set for several days and then skim the top. You want to present an attractive product to your customers. They don't want to look at nor have to skim the debris from the top of their honey. I do not heat my honey except when it has crystallized on it's own. I do use the Dyce Process to make creamed honey. http://www.masterbeekeeper.org/dyce/creamhoney.htm
- I do all of the things talked about here:
- strain it
- let it sit for at least 24 hrs before bottling
- heat-free, let it crystallize as it will
My honey is a beautiful, pale yellow color with nothing weird floating in it. I've never had any issues with selling it. I only had one person that asked for it directly out of the hive, no straining. I cautioned her that it would have wax floating on the top. But she wanted it anyway. She's a real earth-mother type of person, but even she was ready for the strained honey the next year! A few years ago I got her started with her own hives and now she has her own honey. :)
I was more curious about how people defined "Raw" honey. My definition is strained and not heated.
- Thanks everyone! Always interesting to hear about what others are doing and their definitions of what seem to be common beekeeping terms.

We are all aware of the Legend of Korra coming out in the middle of this year (or possibly later). But will it come out in HD? Some of the people reading this may not care, some might actually do. For me it would be very intresting to see the progress and how it looks to have a Japanese anime style cartoon in HD. And since the trailer was released in 1080p, there is quite a chance the Legend of Korra will, too, be made in high definition.
For those not aware, the original Avatar series were made in SD (480i), a much lower quality. Of course, at that time, the HD technology was new and it was almost impossible for a brand new show to be released in HD. But now, after all these years of waiting, maybe the new Avatar series will be made in a higher definition. This, though will require quite some more work:
I am not an expert, but I have read books on designing anime on computers and the resolution/size they must be done for an HD anime series is going to be enormous. And the bigger the picture, the more time it takes to finish. But in the end, you end up with a product that is a much higher quality and much more detailed. Nonetheless, who knows what will happen.
And now it's YOUR turn to respond! Would you like the Legend of Korra to be made in HD?
Thank you for reading and until next time!
