Eleven comments?
I guess that's 90% of Blackberry users that still care....
It should be saurik with a small s.
People buy a cheap Android tablet because they heard Tablets are good. They get them, wonder what all the fuss is about and don't use them.
People buy an iPad and realise what the fuss is about and use them.
Just look at the web stats for tablet use to see the truth in that.
Tablets are supost to be simple to use consumer devices that you just pick up and use. Although the top end Android devices are very good, they take more work, which most consumers don't want. People buy cheap and wonder why they don't get the experience they heard about.
It's good to see Apple helping other manufactures.
Until the iPad came out no one thought a tablet was useful, now everyone does.
People think Apple kit is expensive so bu cheaper.
Technically literate people like Android because they can do all sorts of things with it. The point of tablets is that you shouldn't have too. 'Normal' people love the iPad if they try one but don't use Android tablets if they buy one - it's a shame, they buy Android to see what the fuss about tablets is about and then think they are awful.
People that buy iPads just fall in love with them.
With twice the users...
Now it's on sale they must have at least twice the number of users that they had in the in house beta so it's no wonder they are finding more problems.
I'm getting one.
My local Halfords say they are getting this in stock today. Just off to buy it now.
You mean there are Smartphones that aren't iPhones? :confused:
Looks like we might have to wait until next Monday for the JB, but I'm still hoping Sunday will be Funday.
Sony must have expected it? After they went for young Mr Hotz they must have realised that a lot of hackers were getting seriously hacked off.
While I am sure George had nothing to do with it the people that did this were doing it to get back for what they saw as an attack on one of there own.
While I in no way condone what happened, Sony really should have sen it coming. The fine is risibly small but the costs to Sony were not insignificant and could, so easily, have been avoided.
I use Live Messenger to play games all the time. Skype does not have games.
Yet another example of MS taking away what we like and giving us something we don't.
Last weekend
I just bought a 46" top of the range 3D TV to replace my ageing 32" CRT.
I don't intend buying another TV for another 10 years.
I do hope Apple dont release a game changer....
Monsters of Rock
Can these play at the same volume as the Monsters of Rock festival in August 1981? Volume is far more important than quality with Motörhead - and they had it in spades.
Lotus 123 was by far the best spreadsheet until IBM bought Lotus.
Re: will HP's be any different?
Not noticed anyone complaining about the hardware? Apart from the keyboards falling to pieces.....
Re: Seven incher
I keep telling my wife it's 'only' seven inches.
Sorry, what were we talking about?
I think....
I'll stick with my iPhone for now, but if I can't get Google Maps back on it by the time I come to upgrade my next phone is likely to be Android, unless, of course, Nokia release a proper high end WinMo phonewhich might be worth a look at, the 920 certainly isn't.
Doesn't the surface come with office? By the time you add the cost of that (assuming MS charged themselves the same as others) and the OS they probably aren't making much.
I am not qualified to make a comment on the surface as I have yet to see one, but I am hopeful that I will do within a couple of years....
Windows Live Messenger has Solitaire Showdown. It's the only reason I bought a new laptop as its one of the few things I can't do on my iPad.
Re: Apple Maps v Google Maps
Ok, I'll correct you. It is a completely different app. While some of the blatantly wrong data is being updated and will, I'm sure, continue to update, the satellite view is appalling - they might be able to improve this over time but StreetView is completely missing.
I use copilot on my phone for navigation and google maps for finding places and looking at places. I 'upgraded' my iPhone 4 to iOS6 but not my iPad. The maps in iOS6 are inferior in just about every way that I use maps.
If Google released a proper maps app, with vector graphics, like they have on Android but was not in the iOS version, and if it is a reasonable price then I will certainly buy it to replace the joke that is Apple maps.
On jailbroken devices it will be possible to make Google Maps thr default maps app so I will never have to use Apple Maps again.
I hope Apple don't block it.
It's interesting that in the USA iOS increased market share in the past 12 months and Android decreases. The UK was the only area where both iOS and Android increased market share whereas in every other market Android increased and iOS decreased market share.
Blackberry and Symbian are dying (indeed one has to question wether RIM will survive long enough to release 10) and Windows Phone has yet to gain a foothold.
56 replies?
I was going to say that I didn't realise that there were that many people interested in Windows Phone 8 - but then I realised that some were by the same person, so I guess there aren't.
My mother
Much as I dislike the idea of an iPad mini I have recommended one to my mother.
She is in her 70s and wants something to Skype my brother in Spain and I had recommended an iPad 2 but she finds full size iPads a bit heavyso the mini, at nearly half the weight, seems ideal. Android may be good, but an iPad will just work without her having to do anything (once I've installed a wifi router and connected it, of course) so, while I am not the target demographic, I believe my mother might be.
Re: Me too!
They don't have to stay in the tropics, they can go anywhere I don't. I'm not fussy.
Re: Ballmer claims Win 8 sales strong, WinPhone to follow
Why do you have monkeys up there in the first place?
I'm going to patent...
The idea that you can't patent ideas.
If PC sales remain flat there will be 400M new Win8 devices this year? But there are only 670M Win7 devices? Is it just me or do those figures not seem to stack up? Or are they including a forecast of 300M Win8 phones in the 400M?
Paris because I'm assuming I am having a Paris moment and someone will explain how these figures do stack up.
Having all my music in the cloud is great - I hope they can do the same or video.
But I think people hoping the next version will be slimmer, faster and capable of playing more formats are p!ssing in the wind. It is likely to be more bloated and they haven't cared about Windows in the first 10 versions, I can't see that changing any time soon.
I would be happy with a way of removing duplicates, but I have a feeling I am getting caught in the wind as well.
I have learned..
From reading all the comments, I have learned that Apple are crap and so are MicroSoft but no one is slanging of Linux?
This must be the year of Linux....
Much as...
I don't think a lot of Tim Cook, I think he is actually right on this one.
Time will tell.
As this is vaguely pro Apple I expect a barrage of thumbs down from all the Apple haters out there.
Not yet convinced...
I just have a feeling that it will be a flop, it seems to be trying to be everything. Someone said a lightweight laptop replacement? The Pro version might be but that's not going to be available for three months.
I hope I am wrong, but if I was after a tablet I would wait a couple of months until we have some real life reviews before jumping in. It's not to late to get the Chrismas market if it is a success but I am surprised that people say they are buying this version for business use rather than waiting for the pro version.
I am not very good at predicting what will be a success so me being sceptical is probably the best sign that Surface will outsell everyone's expectations....
US government crooks?
As the US government are one of the best payers for zero days does that mean you are calling them crooks!
Re: PATENTS MUST BE INVENTIVE and NON OBVIOUS!!!!
If it was so obvious why had no one done it until Apple released the iPhone?
With hindsight everything is obvious.
Bigger screen?
Isn't that what the standard iPad has?
It's nice to see Apple reversing everything that idiot Steve Jobs did. Simplified product range! No way, more is obviously better. No smaller iPad, don't be silly, ditto larger screen on the iPhone. One release a year? No, every few months makes much more sense.
Steve Jobs obviously had it all wrong, just think where Apple could be now had he not gone back? And where they could go now....
Re: The Universal OS concept could be true
I know mobile screens are getting bigger, but until you get mobile phones with 27" screens the two are very different.
Jack of all trades....
Re: High 60s
Yes, and the British use Fahrenheit for high temperatures and only use centigrade for cold temperatures.
I hope..
I hope they have enough floppy disks to back up all that data.
Core market
It's good to see RIM going after their core market. The 12 - 14 y/o should love this.
Provided RIM can stay in business long enough to release it.
Breaking in to the Smartphone market isn't just about having a good OS (I have no reason to doubt that this is) but they need the marketing clout to get it out their. RIM have an advantage that lots of businesses still use them, I just hope this can revive their fortunes. A third major player in mobile OS's can only be good for consumers - wether that will be Bb10 or Windows I'm not sure. I just hope at least one of them makes it.
Just checked
Street view round here is quite up to date local Tesco's opened Jan 13th this year and was nearly open in the street view.
I am...
One of the one in the one in ten.
Apple saved money
They just used VGA res cameras....
While I disagree with Woz on this (you can see why SJ made the marketting decisions) I am appalled by all the people slanging him off here.
Without him there would be no Apple. I also understand that some people might say that would be no bad thing but really?
Says a lot for Windows 8
If they think RIM can still maintain 3rd place it goes to show just how poor the analysts think Windows 8 is.
But as someone else has said, I'm really not sure RIM can last that long - or that BB10 won't slip again.
Spring forward?
I thought the clocks spring forward in, well, the spring.
And fall back in the, well, autumn.
Am I wrong? Do they spring forward in the "fall" and fall back in the spring?
Steve Jobs said the screen size of the iPhone was ideal. Apple have since increased it.
Steve Jobs said there was no room in Apple's range for an iPad Mini, it now looks like they are going to do it.
Steve Jobs used Google Maps because they gave the best user experience. Apple have now dumped them.
Before Steve Jobs came back and rationalised their range they were in the doldrums, he turned them round. It seems that now he is no longer with us they are determined to undo all his good work.
Shame. It was good while it lasted.
Voter fraud?
The Republicans are pressing for all voters to have ID. They are worried about all those WoW characters voting without ID....
You are right Tim, people will choose other devices. Apple did have, by far, the best devices but with this crippled map app they have made it far less so.
Google have, at least, responded by adding street view to the web app but it is far slower and less integrated than the google maps we have all come to know and love in iOS4/5
Biggest disappointment ...
Is not just the errors - which can be fixed, but we have been used to Google maps which is great.
Satellite view - try zooming to Brighton, or just about anywhere on the south coast. On Apples maps you can't. You can on Google Maps.
Google Maps has Streetview, although someone earlier said it wasn't available on iOS it has been there since the introduction of iOS4.0 and is great on the iPhone and iPad. That has been taken away from us.
The search facility just doesn't work in Apple Maps. e.g. I had to go to 40 Bank Street the other day. If you type that into Google Maps it takes you to the correct building in Canary Wharf. The same search in Apple Maps suggests 40 Cank Street in Leicester. Nearly all searches fail to locate the correct address yet I have never had a problem with Google Maps.
We all know that Google couldn't license turn-by-turn navigation to Apple but surely anyone who wants turn-by-turn they use a proper Sat Nav app anyway rather than the poor implementation in either Googleor Apple Maps.
It doesn't work properly on the iPhone4 anyway (not sure about the 4S) as, apart from no voice guidance) it fails to stop the screen going blank (it does in the iPhone 5) so they have taken away a lot of functionality, given us inaccurate maps for what?
Apple have seriously dropped the ball on this one.
For those, including Tim Cook, that say we can still use m.google.maps -that lacks Streetview and is nowhere near as usable as the Google Maps app that we have been used to.
IOS6 is major downgrade Apple have released and I would seriously advise anyone who uses maps on their device to not upgrade.
But Apple are already releasing upgrades to their other apps that won't install unless you have iOS6.
I love my Apple devices but this could be a major factor in my next phone being my first non-iPhone for a long time.
Based on....
"Touch seems a natural progression in the evolution of operating systems" -that is one heck of an assumption, which, IMHO is just plain wrong for desktop users.
If they got rid of Metro (not just the name) Windows 8 would make a very good Windows 7.1
Re: iPad too?
Why would you need an iPad app? The main site works fine on the iPad just wondering what you want from an app that you don't already have?

Nobody was dumb enough to email email@example.com
The best part is that there's a credits sequence at the end (totally normal for a commercial) and that there's an actual production company behind it! So, not only did they say "I need to make a credits sequence for the end of this commercial (because that's totally normal) because people need to know who made this" but they also looked at this and said, "Yep.

The abolition of the "couple penalty" is safe in Tory hands
Chris Grayling has announced in a broadcast interview that there is no question of the Conservatives stepping back from their commitment to remove the "couple penalty" in the taxation system. I should hope not. If there has been any single principle which has distinguished David Cameron's leadership of the party – and been absolutely and unfailingly reiterated – it is his belief in the iniquity of the punitive tax and benefits treatment of married couples. Attacking the grotesquely perverse outcomes created by the present system in which we reward parents for living apart was a lucid and compelling argument. It is unclear who sowed the seeds of equivocation about this policy which surfaced in the media this morning: an ill-informed party insider talking speculatively, or a mischievous Labour spinner trying to create even more chaos on the subject of Tory tax promises?
Anyway, it appears to be untrue. Which is a major mercy in the current confusion. Without that avowed intention to remove the unfair discrimination against stable families, the entire Conservative "social breakdown" project would have become largely meaningless: it is the central specific plank on which the general party platform of moral responsibility rests. And it is not even true that it would be unaffordable: the cost in welfare dependency that it could save – not to mention the price of the consequences in societal breakdown – would make it cheap at the price.

Technology licensing is a large and important business activity for those companies and institutions that generate technology. In this column, we always feature technologies available for license, mainly from universities, but many companies, large and small, utilize technology licensing to generate significant income. What is surprising is that technology licensing is not the major segment of the licensing business. According to an article by Weston Anso1 in a Trademark World article, "the corporate trademark/brand licensing segment is now the largest segment of the licensing industry and has had the greatest and most consistent growth over the last decade." We are all familiar with trademarks as we see them everywhere we are exposed to advertising or branded products. This article will try to provide an understanding of what constitutes a trademark, how you get them and how to value and use them.

Polypodium leucotomos and Other Topics
By: Charles Fox, Independent Consultant
Polypodium leucotomos extract to decrease UV-induced damage: Exposure of human skin to sunlight containing UVA and UVB radiation exposes the skin to deleterious effects such as sunburn, immune suppression, pigmentary changes, photoaging and skin cancer. The mechanism of such cutaneous damage induction is complex, but can be broadly divided into direct oxygen-dependent damage through absorption of photons, and oxidative damage caused by formation of free radicals and reactive oxygen species. This is why antioxidants have been increasingly studied as inhibitors or quenchers of UV-induced cutaneous damage.

So, I started the journey on Jan 3rd this year and I have managed to lose 15.8 lbs since then. Still proud of this but I need to sort it out!
I had set my goal date to be in may and want to atleast get a little more off before then.
I did lose a little more but I lost control and had a few days off the diet resulting in a gain.
I am now struggling to get back into it, like really struggling.
I started a new job the begining of March and its been pretty intense training because there is alot of information to soak up, thus making it impossible for me to focus on dieting!
I did still manage to lose 1lb this week which has shocked me because of the food I have eaten the past couple of weeks but I have been walking to and from work some days ( thats 1 and half hours each way) and i cant keep doing that because I start nights on monday and i am not walking to work in the dark :( I think I will still walk home when I finish at 9am but we will see.
I thought id start a diary just to help myself record my progress, daily food log etc.
and I would appreciate any guidance, motivation stories etc! I really want to do this but I need a kick up the bum!!!

Martijn Keizer took the Mountain jersey and youngster Maurits Lammertink placed third in the Queens stage. For Ligthart his victory in the last stage was a beautiful present for his birthday. "It's not common that the break away remains until the finish but we worked well together and were able to maintain a small gap!" explained Ligthart.
18 June 2013 - Evert Scheltinga is the new Dutch Triathlon Champion! The triathlete from Team4Talent won his first title on the triathlon sprint distance.

13 May 2013 - Lieuwe Westra wins first stage of Tour of California! The first Tour of California for Team Vacansoleil-DCM begins in the best possible way, stage victory and leaders jersey for Lieuwe Westra. Despite being dropped on the last climb Westra saw his chance when he returned in the small remainder of the peloton. He attacked when the leading group was almost caught, in the sprint Westra was fast enough to leave Mancebo behind. We are looking forward what more can be expected this Tour of California!
28 March 2013 - Thomas De Gendt wins final stage in Catalunya! The 26 year old Belgian rider of Vacansoleil-DCM won the first race of the season for the team.

Two must read mainstream articles were published this week. USA TODAY quoted an expert, Dorothy Espelage, who argues that because it's "being used for everything from rolling eyes to 'not wanting to be your friend' to sexual assault, the word 'bullying' has really obscured our ability to focus on what's happening… To call what's happening with 18-to-22-year-olds 'bullying,' when in fact some of it is criminal behavior … it's a disaster." In Psychology Today Dr. Janice Harper brings the "bully label" argument to adult behavior in the workplace."I don't know what scares me more," she writes, "the memoriesof venomous torment I've personally endured in school and in the workplace, or the troubling tide of anti-bullying rhetoric that I fear will do far more to embolden than control those mean-spirited people who consider their behavior acceptable as long as they convince themselves that it's "deserved." But I have discovered that to even discuss these concerns often leads to accusations, hostility and silencing responses nearly as aggressive as bullying itself…" Harper makes a strong argument and she's not the only one pointing to the "demonizing" rhetoric used by "society" as part of the problem.

SEIU's Workplace Bullying Legislation Stalled
New Hampshire's 2013 version of the Healthy Workplace Bill HB 591 has been tabled for this year and a rewrite is in the works. Fingers crossed that legislators have recognized the need to remove "malice" from the text because it creates a virtually impossible hurdle for targets of abuse to overcome in order to actually use this law to protect themselves. We've written about this before and below is the SEIU article about New Hampshire. We applaud SEA for getting this legislation started and hope they use this opportunity to bring in new voices as several other states have begun to do in order to craft a target centric approach that's also fair to businesses (instead of the other way around).

Pima County Puts Witnesses of Workplace Bullying On Notice
Last week Pima County, Arizona implemented policy D.23.1 Preventing, Identifying and Addressing Workplace Bullying for their County employees. [D23-1 ] New rule: witnesses along with anyone who was made aware of behavior that may satisfy the definition of workplace bullying must now report the incident/s.
Many of us who have suffered the damage of working for an abusive boss have dreamed of the day that our co-workers would step in to help. However, this policy is missing the necessary contextual discussion that helps employees understand the important distinction between conflict and bullying. Only two of the 27 examples of bullying included in the policy reference the fact that bullying must be repeated and none recognize that bullying takes place over time. These actions need to be part of a pattern of abuse. Continue reading
Top #3 Harmful Definitions of Workplace Bullying
The purpose of my documentary research into the topic of workplace bullying has been to ask several questions – chief among them is:
Can workplace bullying be defined? If so, how and who decides? How do we avoid – and recognize – false accusations?
Below are some popular ways of defining workplace bullying that may be doing more harm than good. This article recognizes the work of those who have gone before and is respectfully intended to break down silos and build bridges that encourage broader more inclusive discussion as we move closer to a legislative solution.
1. NO HARM, NO FOUL: Continue reading
Calling all Unions – a golden opportunity to stop workplace bullying
Smart advocates seek multiple solutions to a problem. Advocates for U.S. workplace bullying legislation often point out that the U.S. is far behind other countries in addressing abusive work environments. But, these countries have a variety of approaches and don't adhere to endorsing only one approach with one template. Canada's Bill 168 broadens OHSA (our OSHA) legislation to include bullying. Here in the U.S, Maryland is currently debating Workplace Violence – a golden opportunity to include bullying. Why isn't SEIU, cited in the article below, stepping up to include bullying (worker on worker violence) in Maryland's proposed legislation? SEIU has been both the best and worst advocate against bullying. While they should be applauded for being the first to include bullying in contracts with employers, it's important to understand the problems they face as leading the charge. SEIU successfully defended and reinstated employee who had been removed for alleged abuse to co-workers. Will union leaders develop a broader more inventive approach to fighting employers who bully their employees? Here's an article on the push for Maryland's workplace violence legislation: Continue reading

Slope, slope, quick-quick, slope
Checkpointing ensures the challenge never descends into a grind. Stringing together a dozen seamless tricks between gates might still prove a rigorous test of memory and skill – frequently demanding twenty-or-so retries before mastering an individual section - but it's also never an unfair one.
Up and under
Occasional glitches frustrate, but never rankle. Momentum is too easily lost at times, a forced retry your only option as your boarder pulls up short of the next jump. And once or twice the physics system loses it all together, suspending you indefinitely in mid-air or flinging you way off course.
But these glitches are extremely rare and never detract from an otherwise charming game. Already a great Flash game, improved speed, additional tracks (with more promised) and, most importantly, tilt and touchscreen controls mean iStunt 2 is an even better iOS game.
iStunt 2 tipifies the very best in casual game design. Simple mechanics and instant playability belie deep gameplay and insatiable moreishness. The challenge constantly treads a fine line of tolerable cruelty, where frustration is tempered by gradual mastery. Easy to pick up, iStunt 2 proves impossible to put down. ®
iOS and Android - Reg Hardware's resident game guru, Andrew Bailey, will be making his pick from all the key mobile gaming platforms every month.
iStunt 2 on the iPhone 4
Actually the name of a pub cover band back in my home town
A gaming column for mobile devices
Nice idea - look forward to seeing more. I would ask that if you review an exclusive game (e.g. Android only or iOS only), can you please include another review for the other platform as well, so that people aren't left out for a whole month?

GEICO SportsNet Central Update: Rich Tandler breaks down Redskins cut down day
Fri, 31 Aug 2012|
CSN Washington dot com. Geico sports net central update. Everybody I'm Julie Donaldson for CSN Washington dot com and it is cut down day and the NFL is. Teams cut their rosters down to 53 players and joining me now is our Redskins blogger rich Taylor are great rates some of the big names to go. Most surprisingly -- -- tire for the redskins' idea what why was this -- made. I think we hit it just that his knee was not making the progress that date they wanted to. He injured it last October. And not coming up all on eleven months here since like -- little over ten months since since he injured it against Carolina. And you know he he's been struggling to get through practices. He's been struggling get through. He just he had just five carries in the whole pre season. I just figured they decided they really couldn't wait for they needed help at running back. That's when he made that decision a lot of go. An aggressor receiver what are your -- Anthony Armstrong and get the Armstrong there was talk earlier in the day he was gonna go to Miami. Possibly in exchange for running back Steve Slaton but. That talk seems to have died down. I don't know if this -- threw -- still possibility. I could see them if that doesn't go through records scene and try to get some value for him. On and they could possibly let go or they might decide keep them. Right a little guy Brandon Banks he makes our roster would always say about it sticking around let you know I really think he made it you know they say that fourth pre season game doesn't mean a whole lot. I think against Tampa the Tampa Bay Bucs had a 43 yard run cut a 47 yard pass from scrimmage. I think that's what Mike Shanahan wanted to see Adam I don't think he can be an every down wide receiver. But I think giving -- contribute enough from scrimmage. To justify making the roster as a wide receiver slash kick returner very tiny little specialty -- about -- kill was kind of basically allot after his last pre season game but. No that would not be the case yeah that was that was one of the more surprising -- you signed as a free agent in the off season. He had moved to inside linebacker. Bomb and after Jonathan Goff was put on injured reserve early in the air. You know it seemed like he had a lot -- interception with a nice return on now on Wednesday against the bucks. But you know it's a matter of a numbers game Mike Shanahan said they're becoming some good football players I think that's when they -- had to let go. I thank you very much for it's Chandler as we cut down the rosters to 53 players. I'm Julie Donaldson for CSN Washington dot com. -- -- -- -- -- Sports net central. CSN Washington dot com.

Jazz Legend Freddy Cole Comes to SOPAC on Friday
The world-renown jazz man's quartet will treat a SOPAC audience to jazz and holiday standards.
Grammy-nominated singer and pianist Freddy Cole and his band will take the stage at South Orange Performing Arts Center (SOPAC) Friday night for an evening of jazz, blues, swing and a few Christmas classics. The 80-year-old Cole is the younger brother of legend Nat "King" Cole and uncle of Natalie Cole, but one need only hear a song like "I'm Not My Brother, I'm Me," from the 1990 album of the same name, to get an idea of how his spry wit, graceful piano playing and unique personality sets him apart from his talented family, and have made him one of the most respected singers in jazz. On Friday, Cole will be lending his raspy tenor to a repertoire of songs he likes to describe as "from Broadway to the blues" for its scope and cohesion…

No Ass At all. A run on word of slang or of southern speach. She has a bad case of "noassatall"
4. | Noassatall | ||
A disease/disorder that roughly the majority of white, Asian, and a lot of Hispanic women suffer from. Some black women also suffer from noassatall, though it's a very small(and disappointing portion of black women. It's when a woman has no booty at all just pure flat cakes. Some women are tricky with their noassatall and can take pictures to try and make it look as if they have ass, when they thought. Some other tricks include women wear leggings, super tight jeans, or booty shorts to try and make it look like they have big butts. This is called the leggings illusion, when it looks like she has an ass from afar, but you get close and notice that she suffers from noassatall. Cures for noassatall include butt implants, but pads(Nicki Minaj'ing it), or eating until you ass gets fat and that's not a real booty, just nasty fat cottage cheese ass. If you don't have an ass, you just don't. Becky thinks those leggings make her ass look big, but we all knows she has noassatall.

MIGHTY JOURNEY TO ALMIGHTY – One example on "HOW LORD CALLS HIS DEVOTEES" |
My Initial Efforts to plan my future travel
It was around mid April 2012 and I always like to plan my travel 4 – 5 months in advance and that too my next 2 tours but this time I failed to plan my next immediate tour. All because of summer heat ,we didn't wanted to go anywhere but to stay home in AC chilling inside our rooms with our sweet little daughter Aarya. Anyways July was coming near when monsoon start and I had to decide where to go on my next tour. I had already 3 to 4 destinations in my mind.
Usually I make some small itinerary of the 3 – 4 destinations decided to go next and show it to my wife Sonali and she picks one of them and yes that's the decision. So here also I started making plans for next tour . First in my list was Srisailam Tour . I have a very fantastic plan to cover 3 – 4 jyotirlingas in just 7 days in this tour from Mumbai. Apart from Srisailam , Grishneshwar, Aundha Nagnath and Parli Vaijnath can be covered in the itinerary planned by me from Mumbai. So That was the first one. My second destination was Rajasthan . Ajmer , Pushkar , Chittaurhgadh, Nathdwara, Udaipur and Eklingjee . My third destination was Golden Triangle of Orissa ( Puri, Konark and Bhubaneshwar) along with 2 – 3 days in Kolkatta and Sunderbans. My inclination was much on this tour.And also I contacted our fellow author Anupam Majumdar to help me visit Kolkata and Sunderbans and within no time he mailed me all important places along with time required to visit them . In fact I had brief chat with him also. And finally my 4th destination was in south Tirupati , Kanchipuram , Chidamabaram, Kumbakonam, Srirangam, Thanjavur and back.
Some frustating moments for me
I showed all the 4 plans to Sonali and explained in detail about each and every aspect of the travel . But Somehow she was not willing to give green signal to anyone of those itineraries planned by me. 2 – 3 days passed after showing the itineraries , time was passing and traiin reservations were getting full. Again I tried to force my wife Sonali to select one of those travel plans but all in vain . Now I was getting pissed off as nothing concrete travel plan was there for next 3 months and now atleast I am addicted to travel atleast once in 3 months. So I started getting desperate trying hard to convince my wife but the answer came " I am not properly convinced by your plans. And if Lord wants to call us he will definitely call us". Somehow I always trusted her sixth sense because her decisions has always landed in correct and on right path. So even if I was not stable I had no choice but to obey her. She said anyways we are planning to go Chardham in Diwali , so forget tour of July.
But still my inner instance was not allowing me to obey the above decision . So again I started poking her about small 3 – 4 day trips to Bhimashankar or Trimbakeshwar In Maharashtra or small one in Gujarat. But ALAS ! all in vain. Now I also had no choice but to leave aside all my plans and concentrate on my daily routine till Diwali. My mindset was set that this time we are not going in July . So although little bit upset and sad I decided to cope up.
Vaishno Devi and Amritsar is approved
One more week passed and I was back to normal with my daily routine , forgetting everything about not traveling out in July. And one evening Myself and Sonali were just having chat about our previous tours and next tour to Char Dham. While discussing, all of sudden golden words came from my mouth "Lets go to Vaishno devi in July along with Amritsar." Sonali's eyes were glittering now as if they were telling yes, yes and yes. But her still mouth was mum. I started telling the plan verbally as I had designed that plan two times before which didn't materialise and also I had read lot of stories In ghumakkar.com . So I had basic idea about days required , places and cost required to cover that tour. Immediately within 2 minutes she uttered "Yes lets go to Vaishno Devi". Every time this way our each and every tour decision happens all of sudden in excitement . So this was nothing new for me, because I know when yes comes from her mouth , our tour happens. BINGO!
Initial Preparation
As soon as the positive reply came I started looking out for ticket reservation in railways around 28th July 2011 .Only one month was remaining I was looking out for tickets for the Amritsar in Golden Temple Mail and to my surprise just above 100 seats were empty. Also I looked at return tickets in Swaraj Express which runs between Jammu and Mumbai. I rushed to reservation ticket centre and booked 3 tickets to Amritsar In Golden Temple Mail and 3 tickets to Mumbai return in Swaraj Express. The third ticket was for my father in law who is also a very well established ghumakkar along with us . Our Trio along with my daughter Aarya is a great HIT. One of my childhood dreams was becoming true that I was going to travel in Golden Temple Mail. I am also madly crazy about trains like some other fellow authors right from Childhood. I used to fantasize that I will travel in Frontier Mail once in lifetime till Amritsar.
Frontier Mail ( Now Golden Temple mail ) is more than 75 year old train in Indian railways. Once it was fastest train in India for many decades till Rajdhani Express was introduced. Still it is one of the very well managed and respected super fast trains . So travelling in this train is dream coming true for me.
Once again Ghumakkars Together
Now after booking train tickets , I spoke with my father in law on cell phone about our trip . But his excitement was not as high as mine because he had already been to Vaishno Devi 4 years back along with his Organisation Employees. So he was not so much excited in this tour, but yes he was coming with us. Now next thing was to search about information on Amritsar and Vaishno Devi. Immediately rather than looking into Internet I picked my cell phone and dialled the number of Manu Prakash Tyagi. In one of his stories he has written that he travels to Vaishno devi twice a year. So rather than searching Internet better get into contact with a person who already is experienced in travelling there. So when I called and revealed about my plan to Vaishno Devi and Amritsar in July 2012, rather than giving information he said that he is also coming with me and apart from Amritsar and Vaishno Devi he told me that he will fix Naina Devi, Jwala devi etc of Himachal Pradesh in that tour. Now this is like "Sone pe Suhaga"( what more can we ask for ?).
Lord Amarnath calls me from the mouth of Jatdevta
Now it was for first time that I am going to visit Himalayas in Himachal Pradesh and J&K, and just out of curiosity and more information on what to do , I rang up our one more fellow author cum ghumakkar Sandeep Jatdevta Panwar. I told him about my tour and while listening his mind struck with another idea , why not go for Amarnath Yatra since it is coinciding with the dates I am going. Exact words of Jatdevta ," क्यूँ न आप वैष्णो देवी के साथ अमरनाथ यात्रा पर चले जाओ. हिमाचल की देविया फिर कभी करना, वे १२ महीने चालू होती है.अमरनाथ यात्रा एक साल में केवल डेढ़ महीना ही चालू रहती है.(Why don't you go to Amarnath yatra along with Vaishno Devi . And visit the Himachal Devi 's next time ,They are open for 12 months and Amarnath Yatra is open for just one and half months).In 2012 Amarnath Yatra was ending on 2nd August 2012 on Raksha Bandhan day. And my tour will be starting from 28 th July . So better go to Amarnath First and then go Vaishno Devi. Now this was terrific idea coming out of the hard head of Sandeep Jatdevta. We had never thought of going to Amarnath Yatra in near future . Never I had planned any itinerary for Lord Amarnath Cave. My preferred destinations were to visit all jyotirlingas , Important Lord Vishnu temples, Important Shaktipeeths, Ashtavinayak, Chhota Chardham and Chardham. And after completing all these destinations, my plan was to visit Amarnath Cave and Kailash Mansarovar finally . Similarly as written above my preference was never Vaishno Devi first . I don't know how did it struck in my head with lightening speed and came out of my mouth. Indeed no one can visit Vaishno Devi without getting call from their itself.
Millions and Billions of thanks to Sandeep Jatdevta , as because of him our Amarnath Yatra was possible. My family is heavily obliged to him.
Approval for Amarnath Yatra
Now when Sandeep Jatdevta told about Amarnath , I immediately had decided from my side to be positive. Question was to be from Sonali , because first thing I had to add 2 more days in the trip and secondly Sonali had to arrange her yoga classes accordingly. But when I asked her she also gave positive response immediately and then I called and inform my father in law .Now he was also satisfied. Next day I went to railway station and changed my date from 28th to 26th adding two more days in our yatra. Similarly I rang up Manu Tyagi and told him about the plan , even he was ready for Amarnath yatra because still his Yatra was pending.
Sandeep Jatdevta also told me that we won't be able to witness the ice shivalinga, because I am going in the final days of the yatra . Generally the shivalinga melts within 10 – 15 days of yatra start. But for us that cave was important where Lord Shiva and Maa Parvati are present . Shivalinga is melted because of rise in temperature by we humans only. And anyways we wanted to feel Lord Shiva and Shakti rather than only visualising it. So final decision was taken that we are going to Amritsar first , then do Amarnath Yatra and then Vaishno Devi finally and back.
Manu Tyagi also booked his tickets to Amritsar in Golden Temple mail along with us. So now in full force our shopping started . Warm clothes, Trekking Shoes , New clothes for Vaishno Devi ( suggested by Manu Tyagi), a big trekking bag etc.This time a big checklist was made for the items to be taken for this mighty ourmey to Almighty
Whether to take my four year old daughter Aarya or not ?
Now when I told about my decision to go yatra to Amarnath to nearby friends and family members, majority of them had told not to take Aarya there near the cave, as the yatra is too dangerous and weather conditions are sarcastic. Too many accident prone zones were there. Also this time yatra was shortened due to climatic conditions , and death toll this time was maximum. So everybody told that keeping Aarya at home is better option rather than risking her up there in the mountains.
But my daughter Aarya is very lucky for me and Sonali , because it was only after her birth, I came to know what human life really means.Everything changed after her birth. Even my inclination towards spiritualism initiated after her birth. My all yatras are happening only after her birth. So I and Sonali believe that its not we who are taking Aarya to spiritual destinations , but its Aarya who is taking us to spiritual destinations, So how can we forget her. So we were firm on our decision to take Aarya, but all other family and friends were opposing.
Finally I rang up Sandeep Jatdevta again and told him about my confusion. He said don't bother at all about the conditions. With little care anyone can cope with the conditions up there . So decision was made Aarya was coming with us. Once again thanks to Sandeep Jatdevta for clearing my doubts.
Pahalgam or Baltal ?
Now the question was to go from Pahalgam or Baltal . From Pahalgam the way is 32 kms to and fro and from Baltal the way is around 14 kms to and fro. Pahalgam is much closer to Jammu than Baltal . So total travel time remains the same . Again advice from Jatdevta was necessary here, so discussions were going with him. According to spiritual significance , Lord Shiva went along with Devi Parvati through Pahalgam route , and Pahalgam route is more scenic in beauty although longer. So Yatra through Pahalgam was decided.And since after completing Amarnath yatra , Pahalgam sight seeing and rest for one day was decided , so we decided to come back also via Pahalgam route.
Amarnath Yatra :- On Foot or Horses or Helicopter ?
First of all Helicopter was excluded from the list because we wanted to enjoy scenic beauty and euphoria which is generated while going through the yatra. Now it was to decide whether to go on foot or horses.My inclination was much on foot rather than horses. But Yatra from Pahalgam to Amarnath Cave via foot and back would take minimum take 3 days to complete and if rest is required than total would come to 4 days. And via horses it would take only 2 days to and fro. So trek to cave was decided on horses.
Hindrance comes for Manu Tyagi for Amarnath Yatra
I also went to doctor for medical certificate and then went to J&K bank for completing yatra registration . In mean time Manu Tyagi went to East tour for 20 days and came back. His Amarnath yatra registration was incomplete till June 21. Then again from 22 to 24 he went with his cousins to Haridwar and Rishikesh. From 25th June till 7th July his health was poor. On 9th may he went to Himachal Ring Road yatra with Sandeep Jatdevta. He cameback on 16th July. His Amarnath yatra registration was still incomplete. He was about to go next day but Kaavad Yatra started which blocked the Haridwar Delhi Highway and closed all the banks there. So now curiosity started arising in my mind that what is happening . Now only 6 – 7 days are left for yatra to start and still Amarnath yatra registration is not complete. Doubts started arising in my mind whether Manu Tyagi will make it or not. Now other problem started was from his school where he is employed as a teacher . From 30th July he had to attend duty which was set by election commission which is next to impossible to avoid. Even in very difficult situations , teachers don't get leave. So now his chances of coming with me were becoming negligible. On 24th and 25th July he tried his level best to persuade his seniors to release him for Amarnath Yatra but ALAS! He didn't get 8 days holiday which were required for Yatra. But he got one day CL and along with one Sunday and that he utilised to come with us to Amritsar at least. Both were little upset on this.Can't help it.
By this it can be easily understood we are just merely a minute pawns in hands of almighty. If he wishes to call us then only we can go otherwise not. Both the examples are demonstrated by the Lord.
This was how my Amarnath Yatra was initiated by the grace of Almighty. In next story I will actually start my Yatra.
Jay Bhole.

Dr. John Harley, in the Gulstonian lectures of three decades ago, discussed four vegetable neurotics which have occupied an important place in materia medica for more than twenty centuries, These drugs were conium, opium, belladonna, and hyoscyamus. To these might justly be added aconite and mandragora. These remedies have maintained practically their present positions since the renaissance of medicine. Aconite was very early employed by the monks in the treatment of fever, since under the canon law of the church they were forbidden to shed blood unless by special dispensation Consequently, around the ruins of the old monasteries are to be found wild plants of aconite, originally employed for medicine, and not for poison, as is usually, but uncharitably, believed.
Of these vegetable neurotics, the one most abused has undoubtedly been opium, its chief alkaloid having produced more misery, though it has relieved more suffering, than any other agent in

Loose Lips and the Romney Campaign
I didn't want to write about Republican nominee Mitt Romney and his staff's sophomoric errors this week. In fact, a friend warned me against penning anything negative about Romney because it would put me in the doghouse with the GOP establishment and that's not where I want to be. But I can't heap false praise on our candidate when he sorely needs constructive criticism so he can win the race for the White House in 2012.
For a campaign which prides itself on being insular and controlling, the Romney camp and its leader seem to be playing Russian roulette with his image, by engaging in political improvisation. Over the past week, Romney and staff seem to be losing control when they most need it. Last week I defended Romney against the news media attacks when he "wondered aloud" if the British were prepared to handle security for the Olympics. But in hindsight, I think that was a stupid mistake to walk into.
It's true the British press made a big deal on the London Olympics having to fire the private security firm hired to manage security for the games but why did Romney feel a need to mention it? He was in London to show his strength on foreign policy as a candidate not to critique the Olympics. President Obama is running a dishonest campaign of "mass distraction" from his failed economic record. Romney knows this and so do the American people. Romney needed to channel his tightly suited, scripted self during that routine media interview. Sadly, Romney brought the media madness upon himself.
Americans want Romney to loosen up, be aggressive, show passion, and give us details on how he would make things better like he did in his NAACP speech. What he doesn't need to do is to lose control on the basic stuff, stuff that should be common sense. I think Romney's overseas trip was successful but it got eclipsed by nonsense of his and his staff's making. After the Olympic gaffe, I was certain Team Romney was done with "forced" errors.
No such luck. During Romney's visit to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Warsaw, Poland, his spokesperson Rick Gorka told reporters to "kiss my ass" and "shove it" when they shouted questions. What the hell? I thought. This kind of behavior is never acceptable for an employee of any campaign or company and Gorka should have been fired immediately. (Conservatives with whom I've spoken, working for members of Congress or private companies agreed they would have been fired on the spot for such unprofessional behavior.) Reporters shout questions all the time, you don't have to answer them. Gorka should have followed Romney's lead and said nothing.
In not firing Gorka, Romney not only leaves voters with the disturbing impression he condones this kind of behavior but also that he would tolerate it in the White House. Gorka's outburst doesn't make Romney look presidential or that he is in command of his staff. It makes his campaign and thereby the candidate look desperate like they can't take the heat. Not a way to win a presidential election against a candidate like Obama operating a dirty campaign in which he will talk about everything under the sun but his failed record of 42 months of over 8% unemployment, stagnant economic growth and debilitating $16 trillion debt.
As someone reiterated on Twitter, Gorka's actions "only detract from his [Romney's] message" and the liberal news media aka "Obama Choir" will seize any opportunity to make Romney look weak. Having earned the reputation of being a control freak, Romney needs to exert a tighter grip on his campaign staff and subject himself to greater self-discipline on trivial matters. Then Romney should follow Olympic gymnastic all around individual gold medal winner Gabby Douglas' advice, "You just have to not be afraid and go out there and just dominate." But Romney can't dominate the presidential election when he keeps stepping in the silly putty.
