Cairn Terrier- FCI 4
The Cairn Terrier It is one of the oldest breeds of Terrier, originating in Scotland and recognized as one of the first Scottish working dogs. It was created for hunting and the prey's burrow. The Cairn Terrier are buzzards. In Scotland they hunted rats and other rodents.
In our country house, will do the job of a cat, often hunting mice, rabbits and squirrels.
Cairn Terrier belongs to the family of the Scottish Terrier. They are five:
- The Scottish.
- The Westie.
- Dandie Dinmont.
- The Skye.
- The Cairn.
The characteristics of the current breed are carefully modeled on his ancestor, the Terrier of the Isle of Skye 17th century. It is believed that this dog was the basis for developing races such as the lion and the Scottish.
The history of the Cairn Terrier is reinforced by the fact that the modern Cairn is an attempt to preserve the typical form of the Terrier of the old days, a dog of work of the Isle of Skye. Known in his native Scotland for more than 500 years, It is believed that it is the oldest of the Terrier.
Cairn Terrier was originally bred as a hunting dog, to kill rats, Badgers, foxes, weasels, and other small insects. He is a native of the Isle of Skye, but to avoid confusion with the current Skye Terrier, He was appointed Cairn Terrier, in honor of rock piles and where used to search for their prey in their Scottish lands.
These dogs of short legs have a countenance of stooped appearance. Its thick cloak of hair is usually greyish in colour, light brown or sand, Although they are allowed all colors other than white.
A notable feature of Cairns Terrier is the change in color of the fur throughout his life. Is not uncommon to its striped pass to be increasingly more grey or silver, as you age. The fur has two layers, a soft, dense stuck to the skin, and other hard and rough, external. It is the smallest of the Terrier (the largest is the Scottish), its weight is of 6 to 7,5 kg. And its appeal is in 28 to 31 cm..
Many times, is defined to the Cairn Terrier as a "big dog trapped in the body of a small dog", is an ex-officio adventurer, Intelligent, strong, loyal and hard, It is not at all a delicate and lap dog.
Are commonly active, resistant, they are always on alert and cheerful, they are prized as pets because they are relatively easy to train and adapt well to small houses or apartments that do not require more than one vigorous hike per day.
As most of the Terrier, they love to dig looking for real or imagined prey. Therefore, If you want to keep your lawn in conditions, It is not advisable to leave it many hours only.
Usually, they mix well with other dogs, But if there is possibility of confrontation they will defend their territory, they can't go back and face whatever lack. With the family they are very protectors and they usually get along with children, Although they do not hold any gross game, as pulling of ears, Rabo…
Walking is an excellent exercise for Cairns and their owners. It is advisable to give long daily walks.
The life expectancy of these dogs is of 12-14 years, they tend to have the fairly delicate skin (and as they grow older, even more).

A Shrine To Madness: The Black Dahlia Murder Live in Lawrence, KS 11/29/15
When the American heavy metal scene experienced a sort of renaissance in the early 2000′s, combining metalcore and groove metal, not too many quality groups managed to make names for themselves. However, one band decided to buck the trend of their peers and focus on melodic death metal popularized by groups like At The Gates, Carcass and Dismember and they far and away became the best US-born band from that era to survive to today. That band is The Black Dahlia Murder and they are still one of the fiercest live forces to be reckoned with going on 15 years as a group.
The quintet took the stage and wasted no time, launching into a 16 song set that touched on all eras of their career. Surprisingly, although tracks were performed off their recently released new album "Abysmal," the album with the most representation at the Granada was their 2005 breakthrough record "Miasma," which showcased a definite harsher and more chaotic period of the band. The performances of "Statutory Ape" and "I'm Charming" were great showpieces for the guitarists to show off their riffing and solo skills, whereas vocalist Trevor Strnad has some of the consistently best extreme vocals around today. The entire group sounded perfect Sunday night and didn't miss the beat at all.
Throughout Black Dahlia's whole performance, the crowd had grown to its densest of the night and included non-stop mosh pits, stage divers and lyric-screaming. Their insane stage presence was only accentuated by the sound mixing which was some of the best I've experienced at the Granada in quite some time. That added heaviness to each riff and guttural vocal screech made everything much more memorable. The Black Dahlia Murder are at the top of their game right now – they've been at the top of their game for almost fifteen years – and they show no signs of letting up any time soon.
Opening duties fell to a foursome of fearsome bands from all different walks of metal life. Opening the show was Artificial Brain, a deathgrind band from Long Island, New York (forever ingrained into my brain by how many times the vocalist said it between songs) that added elements of atmospherics and goregrind for an impressive sounding set. Death/grindcore can be easy to phone in, but Artificial Brain pulled no punches and gave it their all. Truly heavy. Afterwards was quartet Entheos, a four-piece playing modern technical death metal/progressive metalcore that the kids might call "djent." Out of place considering the tour they're on, but still put on an entertaining show nonetheless, thanks mostly in part to their frontwoman Chaney Crabb, constantly bounding around the stage and headbanging with the fans up close.
Perhaps with the biggest reception of the opening bands, Iron Reagan brought speed, speed and more speed to an already speedy show and had the biggest old-fashioned circle pits of the night. Comprised of members from bands like Municipal Waste, Cannabis Corpse and Mammoth Grinder, Iron Reagan has no problem busting out old-school crossover tunes like the instantly catchy "Miserable Failure," or 5 quick songs in 5 quick minutes, teetering almost on grindcore. IxRx is easily one of the best metal bands making music and touring right now.
Direct support fell to the now-legendary New Orleans blackened death metallers Goatwhore. In their 18th year as a band, Goatwhore has this whole metal thing down to a fine art. Vocalist Ben Falgoust hits guttural lows and shrieking highs mutliple times per song like it was nothing, and guitarist Sammy Duet has no problem riffing no matter how fast or how slow each Goatwhore song needs. Although current songs "Baring Teeth For Revolt" and "Apocalyptic Havoc" always are guaranteed headbangers, there's something about their performance of 2006′s "Alchemy of the Black Sun Cult" that encompasses every thing good and evil about Goatwhore into one nice disgusting package.

text: Honey continues to amaze me. She is doing well, albeit a few small setbacks with stitches not staying closed and such. Most of the time she is happy and acting like a normal doggie. She was running around this morning and trying to play with one of her foster brothers. She has also been staying keen on her cat chasing skills, much to the chagrin of the cat. Yesterday I decided to try and do her hydrotherapy and bandage changes by myself, to my amazement, Honey held up each of her legs for me to bandage. She really is amazing! I think she knows I'm trying to help her. So, other than still looking like a franken dog, Honey is doing well!

We thought the only thing you could put in a hot glue gun were hot glue sticks, but that's actually not the case.
This project proves it! Crayons are the perfect size to fit into the slot where a hot glue stick normally goes, and when they're melted by the heated gun, something amazing happens.
Crayon art has become more popular in recent years. A lot of people like to stick the entire crayons on the canvas and create cool shapes by melting the coloring utensil with a lighter or hair dryer.
But, there's a better way to melt the crayons and it gives you a little more freedom for making unique designs.
Start by thinking about what you want to make on the canvas and then pick out the colors you'll need to create it.
Then, get your hot glue gun. A lot of people who have tried this craft warn that using the crayons in the gun can ruin it. Others say it only will if you don't clean the gun really well afterwards. If you're concerned about it, use an old gun you don't mind deeming the "crayon only gun," or make sure you clean it immediately following the project before the crayon dries.
Once you have a plan, unwrap the first crayon color you want to use and stick it in the gun.
After that you are free to create whatever you want! There aren't any rules. The further away you hold the gun from the canvas, the more the crayon is going to squirt everywhere, and the less control you'll have of where it goes.
That worked well for this piece of art, which is more about color than placement.
The reason this is a good alternative to other choices of paint types is because once it dries, the crayon creates a cool texture that adds a little dimension to the canvas and allows the colors to really pop.
It can get a little messy, so make sure you're working in an area that you don't mind getting a little dirty.
Once you're done, the last step is to let it dry and find a spot to hang it up!
Here's the whole project in video form.

The 16 mile ride will be from the starting point near NW 82nd Street & Quanah Parker Trailway, west along the shoulder of state highway 62, to the Cache exit and back. It is a designated bike path with adequate shoulder along this roadway, but vehicles do travel at highway speeds. The most scenic part of the ride starts at the north turn onto highway 115 as you pedal into the beautiful Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge. 20160618T080000 Lawton, OK 0 Tour of the Wichita's Bike Ride free thumbnail;http://www.wfrunnersclub.org/wp-content/uploads/Tour_of_Wichitas_2016-300x168.png;300;168,medium;http://www.wfrunnersclub.org/wp-content/uploads/Tour_of_Wichitas_2016-300x168.png;300;168,large;http://www.wfrunnersclub.org/wp-content/uploads/Tour_of_Wichitas_2016-300x168.png;300;168,full;http://www.wfrunnersclub.org/wp-content/uploads/Tour_of_Wichitas_2016-300x168.png;300;168 25 - 45 1 firstname.lastname@example.com 20180815T071650Z Area Event (940) 574-4217; email@example.com; http://acshortgrassscamper.com/ The Short Grass Scamper will be held on Sat., June 25 in Archer City, TX.

Wayside Family,
From the beginning, Wayside has been about long haul organizing and movement- building. The founding crew came together over eight years ago in a common vision of caring for a beautiful rural space where community members build relationships, strengthen skills, share power, get organized, and transform consciousness. Since then Wayside has hosted over a thousand people—organizers, interpreters, youth, lovers and seekers of justice. Staff has supported, fought, and won campaigns to end racism and xenophobic policy and attitudes in schools and communities. Educators and organizers have worked with individuals and organizations to deepen thought and action. They have done the daily community organizing to fight oppression, economic exploitation, and the separating of families. Wayside has offered space to organizers and hard working people for respite, reflection, and the celebration of love. Staff has created space where youth can be fully themselves and think critically about their schools. Wayside has connected people across language, class, race, culture, gender and sexuality to confront state violence. So much of this work has happened in streets, in people's houses, and the place that is Wayside.
About a year ago, Wayside fully established itself as a non-profit and elected a new Board of bold leaders. The Board began to take on some big questions: What and who is Wayside? Where do we work and how do we work? What are our core values and principles? How do we get to liberation together? What is the role of organizing and education in local communities and at Wayside? What is the role of Wayside as a place in this current political moment? Grappling with these questions while running an organization was and is not easy. One thing that did become clear during this process was the need to move on owning Wayside and claim it as movement home for now and for time to come. The land and house are core resources we will need in the coming years as state repression increases. Our movements are determined to resist and nurture new leadership and will need spaces to think, dream, transform and simply be together.
Due to the generosity of a long time donor and supporter, Wayside has been able to lease the land and house at no cost outside general maintenance and taxes. The intention has always been for Wayside to purchase the land and the house. After much thought and deliberation the board has decided the time to move forward on a permanent movement-building space is now. In the short-term, this means a strategic shift in focus from on the ground organizing and programming to raising the funds needed to purchase Wayside outright. Wayside will temporarily suspend all programming and organizing until we have reached our goal of purchasing the land. This is a very difficult decision but one we believe can solidify Wayside as a home for radical organizing and education.
What's Next?
In the coming months Wayside will begin a fundraising campaign to purchase the land and will engage in a strategic planning process for how to most effectively offer Wayside to movements and communities. As we focus on fundraising our board will also build a strong political, organizing, and educational strategy to implement after the land is purchased. If you or your organization is interested in renting Wayside please feel free to contact us (firstname.lastname@example.com)! We will be in touch about how you can support and engage Wayside during this time. We are excited to embark on this new effort with you.
In deep gratitude and with much love,
Wayside Board of Directors
This paid internship program launched in the spring of 2012 with three youth based in Richmond. Interns began by participating in the Breaking Barriers/Building Power weekend and spent the next three months learning and refining community organizing skills while putting together the Wayside Commons.
Read the 2012 internship report back
Planning is underway for the 2013 internship program. Watch for details to be released in February.

The Roundtable Discussion
Started by wndysrf, Jan 13 2003 05:03 PM
71 replies to this topic
Posted 13 January 2003 - 05:03 PM
Mark's Market Commentary – January 13, 2003
The Barron's Roundtable was published this weekend. A fairly balanced discussion, with both bulls and bears. For the record, we are documenting some of the key quotes uttered by the players. We'll check back on June 30 to see which way the market is going, and see who is right and who is wrong.
Scott Black:
"The war is going to be fiscally stimulative. I don't think it will spread into a regional conflict. Oil will come down to $22 a barrel. Overall, it's going to be bullish for the U.S. stock market."
Mario Gabelli:
"We are going to have an extraordinarily good economy in the fourth quarter of 2003 and the first half of 2004, and the market will follow suit."
"The Fed has done a fabulous job in terms of supervision and regulation."
"Book value ratios have become less helpful in service and finance industries. The stock market indices increasingly include more companies in which book value is irrelevant."
John Neff:
"The economy is going to be OK, for the same reason it was OK last year – the consumer."
Barton Biggs:
"Gold is a speculative asset, not an investment asset. There is no criteria for measuring value or yield with gold. We are going to have another big rally in tech."
Marc Faber:
"The central bankers of the world had the opportunity to sell their gold positions in 1980 for over $800 an ounce. They could have put that money into the DJIA at 800 or bonds yielding 15%. Those idiots waited 20 years to sell gold below $300 and buy bonds below 5% and the Dow around 12,000. This is the mentality of central bankers."
"I agree, some of the tech stocks can double. For a trade, I would buy all these garbage tech stocks because they can all double – before they go to zero."
Felix Zulauf:
"There is a structural problem in the U.S. economy, because economic policy is always targeting consumption. All these earnings expectations are outrageously high. The market is trading at 4x book, a very high valuation."
Today's Action
Over the last few days, it was becoming increasingly easy to chase some of the beaten down Soap Opera Actresses for a one, two, or three day fling. Just when the game gets a little too easy, that's when it changes.
The hopers were greeted this morning with yet another monster gap up on the open. But Da Boyz showed up and hit the sell button. Giant block sell trades were flying out the door on the Supermodels. I noticed on today's Riverboater's Business Daily that the Specialists Short Ratio was near an all time high.
The rest of the day was spent holding the usual "Distribution" closeout sales, where dippers who missed the earlier move were buying like mad. Unfortunately, Da Boyz were selling right into them, maintaining the typical upward drift to keep the shorts at bay.
Note that DELL was in a full blown collapse mode, trading down another 5%.
And after Da Boyz slipped out the back door this morning while the Supermodels were taking a shower, the poor girls could never really get things back together the rest of the day. Too much time fumbling around in the usual daze, wondering what happened.
How could he just walk out and leave like that?
Why did he take his business card out of my purse?
How could he give me a phony cell phone number?
For what its worth, I distinctly remember these type of large selloffs near market tops. Some happen in the beginning of the day, some happen at the end of the day after one of those long, drawn out intraday tops.
And they also happen when all the bears are convinced that an extended rally is most certainly in play, and many of them start closing shorts and playing the long side.
Finally, looks like a top was put in on that piece of Asian Exotica everybody has been chasing this week. There is no limit to how high guys will climb in order to get some of that Crushed Velvet Interior. A perfect doji top. (Chart won't update until later today.)
The Color Commentator was witnessing the action, noting the Supermodel Selloff. Will that mean billions of Global Market Cap will be erased tomorrow as the entire planet is jumper cabled to the SOX?:
"Note also the negative MACD on NoSmellUs (NVLS) and KlacWhore (KLAC). They both have gaps down below. They both were jammed higher gapping up at open this morning and then bitch slapped by MMs and insider traders at the 10 am time turn on big volume. Think they smell a bucket of shit in the woodpile somewhere? Or just typical jam up,jam down OE games?"
"Is it insider news on INTC report that's creating the fear? At any rate, these two are the 'men on point' for the entire Comp, meaning that they signal momentum reversals for most of World Indexes as well including the all important Nigerian Futures market. Greenlanders trading their polar bear currency should take heart as well. Plutonians power trading off light waving signals on their super atomic platforms had best take heed, their executions are slow to begin with. Markets are down on Jupiter as well, they are waiting until 'notell' INTC reports."
And of course, everyone is now aware of some type of "accident" at a Miami hospital over the weekend. Who is going to pay for this colossal accident engineered by an overly aggressive FEED? Buddha comments:
"Who the do they have working the night shift at Miami General? A bunch of economists? Maybe some Fed members on paid leave trying to pad their accounts? Maurice Gibbs goes in after some intestinal cramps and ends up losing 80% of his stomach and suffering a massive coronary under the knife. Sounds like Dr. A.Greenspan was on shift that evening. How would you like to be rolled in under the lights and see his ugly grill looming over you as you started the countdown into sleepy time? Imagine if Fed charlatans and Al Green were liable for the malpractice? The billions of tons of blood drained from the system, the millions of carcasses tossed out back behind the hospital dumpster. You'd think someone would be liable. Instead what they are doing is opening a new account at Black and Decker for these leeches. Buzz saws, jimmies, titanium tipped sledge hammers, trowels and nuclear powered chain saws are all on special for these quacks. More carnage to come. At least the Gibb family can afford a good lawyer. Who's going to represent the hapless, decapitated Joe Retail?"
Yet another bull market icon bit the dust: Steve Case at (AOL). I can see it now, starting up his computer, getting that "You've Got Mail" message, and seeing a message from the Board of Directors:
"You're Fired"
Who will be next? Michael Dell? Both look like those ultraconfident frat boys who always find a way to seduce the most desireable sorority girl across the street. The one who was always "unobtainable" by other mortals.
Then years later, they find out she got pregnant. And they are greeted by a process server one day, with documents prepared by a $700/hour lawyer, demanding alimony and child support. With retroactive provisions.
Say goodbye to half of your net worth.
Back to today's action:
Bernie Schaeffer noted that the call volume and open interest on QQQ and INTC were sky high. I was hoping for a "reaffirmation of a $40 price target" by Dan "Greaseman" Niles today to officially mark in a top. Maybe it will come out tomorrow.
The VXN and VIX fear gauges continue to plummet faster than Tommy Mattola's reputation. Note that every time the market manages a reasonable "bounce", these meters fall into the basement. Maybe if the market sells off in a orderly manner, with the usual intraday hysteria bounces, these will go down and test last year's lows as Hope Hysteria accelerates as we go lower.
Now, more than ever, every dip is a buying opportunity. If wave 3 is really upon us, then the psychology is probably "As Good As It Gets".
Still expecting some more spiking this week, possibly to even higher highs.
Gold shares continue to act fairly well. A pullback is to be expected, but they are still grossly underperforming the metal. Nobody believes the rally in gold. A breakaway gap is coming. I suspect that the shorts are piling in now for the setup.
The Barron's Roundtable Portfolios will be posted later in the week.
Position Summary:
A random number of shorts were covered in a panic on the open.
The following half short positions were opened later in the day:
KLAC at $41
CYMI at $39
NVLS at $35
INTC at $18
The long position on MDG was closed at $16. It will be replaced with HMY later this week when the gold stocks retrace.
For PileDriver, a long position was opened on COF at $39. Went nowhere, so it was closed. Schaeffer also said the call position on this one is sky high.
We are 36% short, 28% long, 36% cash.

INTU at $53 Covered at $50
MBI at $50
KLAC at $41

The Weimar Run: Bullphoria!!!!
Posted 13 January 2003 - 05:08 PM
Man, that was 2 of the ugliest back-to-back trading days I've seen in awhile...
Call it a "Kiss-your-sister" rally for the bulls... they'll be calling it "bullish compression"... I'm more and more convinced that we'll see a blowoff, since the market is incapable of any sustained movement to the downside... we're still in a bull market mentality, they are buying the damn dips... we need to see a POWERFUL REVERSAL... for this market to get off the see-saw... Bear Spike, that's what it's all about.
Posted 13 January 2003 - 05:43 PM
Good covers...
"We are completely dependant on the commercial banks. Someone has to borrow every dollar we have in circulation, cash or credit. If the banks create ample synthetic money (at the request of the consumer) we are prosperous; if not, we starve. We are absolutely without a permanent money system.... It is the most important subject intelligent persons can investigate and reflect upon. It is so important that our present civilization may collapse unless it becomes widely understood and the defects remedied very soon." --Robert H. Hemphill, Atlanta Federal Reserve Bank,1938...
Posted 13 January 2003 - 05:47 PM
Agree with Fart. Two days of unchanged and practically unchanged. That means an explosion of volatility is dead ahead. My bet: way up, then way down. Maybe in one day.
Posted 13 January 2003 - 05:50 PM
monster ramp in the a.m. and low p/c ratio that is all we need.
Can happen from tomorrow on. Just wait, no need to be frustrated, bulls sing their last song pretty soon. If there will be another upmove after we did go down quite hard i am not interested in, all i know is, the next downmove will give good money to the bear, once you see it doesnt want to go lower, you cover, it is easy.
But then in mid freb we will definitly go down, than we can go short and hold position and go on vacation, return 2 weeks later and see big big big fat profits on the screen.
(just to make that clear: for me a 100 point drop in S&P is a monster profit, for others this will only mark a "undecidied market" or so )

Abbey Joseph "blow hard" Cohen says no double dip recession.
Then we get news like this.
"Machine Tool Purchases Drop 9.7 Percent
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Filed at 12:07 a.m. ET
NEW YORK (AP) -- U.S. purchases of machine tools fell 9.7 percent in November from
the previous month, and dropped 4.3 percent from the same time a year ago,
two industry groups reported."
Sounds like it will be a recovery that doesn't invlolve making anything.
But wait, Abbey is never wrong!
OK, she's never wrong as long as there is a bull market.
Posted 13 January 2003 - 06:06 PM
dont forget:
tomorrow we have retail sales for december
then intel after the bell
and on friday michigan consumer confidence
if the market surivives all these numbers than it can go up a bit more. But it wont survive.
Aspike will be a short an hold entry opportunity, wheter it is due to intel or something other plays no role. Market cant hold up thru all these numbers this week.
Cant wait anymore, Mr. Grosso, pleasse ring the bell right now!
Good night stoolies!

The Daily Reckoning PRESENTS: The intoxication

THE PERILS OF SUCCESS by Bill Bonner
In true "Hypertiger Style"
Last month, Alan Greenspan spoke to the N.Y. Economic
Club and sounded, for a while, like his old self.
"Although the gold standard could hardly be portrayed as
having produced a period of price tranquility," he
conceded, "it was the case that the price level in 1929 was
not much different, on net, from what it had been in 1800.
But, in the two decades following the abandonment of the
gold standard in 1933, the consumer price index in the
United States nearly doubled. And, in the four decades
after that, prices quintupled. Monetary policy, unleashed
from the constraint of domestic gold convertibility, had
allowed a persistent overissuance of money. As recently as
a decade ago, central bankers, having witnessed more than a
half-century of chronic inflation, appeared to confirm that
a fiat currency was inherently subject to excess."
1) No central banker in all of history
had ever succeeded in proving the contrary.
2) Every fiat currency the world had ever seen had shown
itself 'subject to excess' and then subject to destruction.
* Since Alan Greenspan has been Fed chief, $6,250 new
* dollars have been created for every new ounce of gold.

Only on Wall Street-first the news that Steve Case has been gassed brings a heartbeat back to AOL-then it is announced that Case remains as a Director and is in charge of stratergy planning (as Shrub wud say!) Well I say AOL is DOOMED!..This morning on Intra day I pointed out that the E wave targets had been met on the Dow, Oex and NDX-the SPX target for a top has not been met nor does it have to be it can crap out anywhere in here. My take is Wave 3 down will begin probably tomorrow or no later than Wednesday morning. There could be an attempt to go back to todays highs but either way it doesn't matter. If you are not short you oughta be-this is the BIG ONE! Doc warned the other day about being long here he is right when it turns you won't get out intact. Scroll thru the Feb to June SPX and Diamond puts (in and at and slightly below the money) and you will see a ton of huge bets have already been made. I noted Simple Guy was basically singing out of the same hymn book as the END and I-so LOCK N LOAD! Trade Safe!

A snippet from The Daily Reckoning (Monday, 13 January 2003)
- According to the latest Commitment of Traders report from
the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, the speculative
traders in the gold market have amassed one of their
largest long positions in many years. (I.e., they own a lot
of the stuff). Meanwhile, the commercial traders in gold -
considered the "smart money" - have amassed their largest
short position in many years. In other words, whatever gold's
long-term virtues may be - and we here at the Daily Reckoning
think gold's virtues are considerable - the short-term sentiment
indicators suggest the yellow metal is ripe for a sell-off.
a subscribatory!

How do you utilise and embrace the fastest growing communication tool on the planet and make it work for your business and your customers?

We've developed a system for you to manage it on. We've put together a strategy for you… AND we have produced an easy entry into using mobile in your business, delivering improved customer service, actual cost savings and also generating additional revenue.

PM denies immediate relief to the aviation sectorJune 12th, 2008 - 11:37 am ICT by IANS
New Delhi, June 11 (IANS) Prime Minister Manmohan Singh refused to announce any immediate relief to the airline industry that is hit by high aviation fuel cost, but assured the industry leaders that he would take up the matter with state finance ministers June 16. Singh said this to Civil Aviation Minister Praful Patel and representatives of major airlines who met him Wednesday seeking relief measures for the industry.
"The prime minister told us that the government would take a view after it is discussed by the State Finance Ministers' Empowered Group," Patel told reporters after the meeting.
The prime minister told the delegation that the issue of high taxes on aviation fuel was a matter concerning states and the central government could not take a decision without taking the states into confidence.
"The government has its own constraints," added Patel.
He said the next round of meeting would take place after getting the feedback of the state finance ministers.
When the average fare was Rs.6,050 in 2004, the fuel cost was Rs.21,000 per kilolitre. However, the cost of fuel now is Rs.70,000 per kl, but the average fare went down to Rs.3,950, Patel said.
"It is a wrong practice by the airlines to issue air fares which are below the fare structure followed by the aviation industry. We need a national pricing policy for the airline industry," he stressed.
The minister said any relief to the airline industry could be expected only if these concerns were addressed during the state finance ministers' meet.
"We cannot expect government to offer tax rebate from the aviation fuel which costs Rs.50 billion to the airline sector," Patel added.
He added that the aviation fuel should get the subsidy like that on Kerosene. "Aviation is no more a sector in the luxury segment. The entire economy is dependent on it. Its fuel pricing needs to be addressed," asserted Patel.
Other issues regarding route navigation charges were also discussed with the prime minister.
Some air operators have already told Patel that they would prune their services, as they were unable to meet the operational cost.
On May 31 the government-run oil companies hiked the prices of aviation fuel by 18.5 percent. The hike pushed fuel costs to Rs.69,227 per kilolitre in Delhi against Rs.58,387.92 earlier and Rs.76,625.68 per kilolitre in Mumbai against Rs.64,824 earlier.
The airlines responded by increasing the fuel surcharge.

text: Ventilation: A Breath of Fresh Air for Your Augusta Home and Indoor Air Quality Posted August 12, 2015 Air Quality When it comes to complete home comfort and indoor air quality, there aren't many things like breathing in fresh, clean air throughout the year. Of course, the climate in Augusta may not make that seem possible during hot and cold months, but there is an often forgotten part of indoor air quality that gets overlooked: ventilation. When most people think about ventilation, they typically think about opening a few windows throughout their home or using their screen doors. While this is still conventional, it's not practical through the year in Augusta. That's where we can be thankful for the improvements in technology that have presented us with heating and cooling equipment that offers the same effects of having your windows or doors cracked open for ventilation. Today's ventilation systems operate by drawing just the right amount of fresh air from outside, providing you with the perks of traditional ventilation while removing odors, chemicals and other impurities from your home's indoor air. The process not only ensures you have nicer feeling air, it removes stale air from your home, helping make your home's air as comfortable as it can be without wasting energy. Picking a ventilation system is relatively easy as there are two types of systems used: Energy Recovery Ventilators (ERVs) and Heat Recovery Ventilators (HRVs). The majority of the United States, and all of Canada, are recommended to use HRVs as a result of the weather in those areas. ERVs are mostly exclusive to southern regions that have greater humidity levels. Ventilation is just the beginning of things when thinking about indoor air quality. If you'd like to learn more about all that you can be doing to increase your home's indoor comfort, check out the other blogs we've written on indoor air quality. From dehumidifiers to air filtration and air purification, the experts at Sig Cox Heating and Air Conditioning know indoor air quality. Schedule an appointment online or call them at 706-722-5304 to take your home's air quality to a new level. Back To Blog

Nothing Cheers Britney Spears Up Like…
… Wal-mart! Or maybe it's just shopping in general . Look at how happy Britney Spears looks while she's checking out the merchandise. When money isn't an issue, shopping is A LOT of fun.
Britney looks like she's well-rested after her romantic getaway with boyfriend Jason Trawick.
Nothing like some time relaxing in the sun to get you ready for the frantic pace of the holidays, right? And with her parents back together, I bet the Spears family is gearing up for a great Christmas season.

How to Pass PHP Data and Strings to JavaScript in WordPress
This one post by TutsPlus is JUST what I was needing this morning. I got so excited when I found that there is a way to pass info from WordPress to the enqueued JavaScripts, that I could not help and put here the code that will do the trick and of course the original post. For my (o other's) future reference.
wp_enqueue_script( 'my_js_library', get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/myLibrary.js' );
$dataToBePassed = array(
'home' => get_stylesheet_directory_uri(),
'pleaseWaitLabel' => __( 'Please wait...', 'default' )
wp_localize_script( 'my_js_library', 'php_vars', $datatoBePassed );
UPDATE: I had to use this example instead from Pippins Plugins: Use wp_localize_script, It Is Awesome
Charming City
TechCrunch & WeWork
"WeWork's Adam Neumann talks with Connie Loizos about building operating systems for buildings, selling services, and building partnerships."
I've been doing my remote work at WeWork and I've been enjoying having a very cool working space where not only I can network with others but also have interesting views from the city.
The Smell of a Bicycle Shop
I had to take my bike to a bike shop today. And I found myself having childhood memories as the smell of the bike shop almost transported me to those days when I was a BMX fan and I used to have my dad take me to the bike shops and get it fixed.
Interesting how certain smells trigger memories. I wondered if someone could come up with a lotion/perfume that would smell like a bike shop as they did with the smell of a new Apple product if I am not mistaken.
The Truth About Toxins and Bikram Yoga
I'm really thinking about going back to Bikram Yoga as I need to manage to remove some mercury from my body due to having mercury fillings in my teeth since I was 12! … Ouch!

There is something about this time lapse video that I love:
People Over Profits
Quality over quantity is going to be soon the (only) way to be. I dare to say that everyone is trying to maximize and scale and grow. A result of the industrial revolution over these past years, as I call it. Quality is the key, and when I find people doing this, I can't help but applaud that approach as well as many other things that I was able to listen in this podcast episode.
I prefer to take one at a time so I can focus fully on you and your mission.
It's been a couple of years now since I found The Good Life Project. I've seen some interesting interviews here and there. The value I am getting out of this podcast has been surprising me. But perhaps more importantly, I find myself reflecting on how much I resonate with a lot of the things that are said. It is an interesting connection and I am sure I will go back to this post and listen to this again later in the future.
Travel the World as a Social Media Influencer
About 12 years ago, I used to ponder about the huge potential that social media would cause when everyone would embrace it. Even back then working remote was a dream that would not seem to be reachable in practical terms.
Just a few years later, it has become more often to find people that are completely embracing exploring the unknown by traveling and at the same time making a living.
Today I found this "How To Travel The World As A Social Media Influencer" post where I found interesting things on this topic like:
Meet today's traveling social media influencers, a growing wave of savvy professionals who have quit their full-time jobs, left their homes, pared down most of their belongings to the essentials and who now spend their days traveling the world and sharing their experiences with the followers they've amassed.
I didn't quit my job. But for some health issues I needed to take care of, I ended up being a remote worker. Perhaps by accident or perhaps my destiny, one day I will know for sure.
The future is here. The dreams that a few years ago seemed impossible, are just a few clicks away and of course, one decision away!
I feel I could write way more on the topic, perhaps traveling and being a digital nomad has become a passion that I am more than happy to continue to cultivate.
This reminds me of something I recently shared about Digital Nomads & Travel on my "Links we talked about" blog.
Exploring Palo Alto
Turns out, today I ended up here in Palo Alto. I had a good coffee at Peet's Coffee and I was actually surprised to find that it is in fact cheaper than Starbucks.
After some googling, I found out a few interesting things that are so close to where I am right now.
These include:
- Computer History Museum
- Linked In
- Google Plex
- Apple Store Palo Alto (need to have an appt. at the genius bar)
- Hewlett Packard Garage (where their story began)
- Hoover Tower at Standford University
- Best Buy (need to come back for some help with my cell phone options)
This should fill my day today …. we'll see how the exploration goes, I am afraid I will get lost in time quite a bit today!

Sarah McLachlan
Saenger Theatre

Canadian singer/songwriter Sarah McLachlan made her mark in the late 1990s with a string of hits, including 1997's "Building a Mystery," and as one of the prime movers behind the Lilith Fair tour. In recent years, she's been seen and heard primarily as an SPCA spokeswoman against animal cruelty. But she's back with a new album, "Shine On," written after a difficult period when a series of separations, including the death of her adoptive father, brought on writer's block.
Big History Hiatus Show
501 Napoleon Ave.
10 p.m.

Big History has been one of New Orleans' better bands for finding the intersection of indie rock and electronic dance music. Recently, they announced on Facebook that singer Meg Roussel is moving to France and that this week's show will be the band's final performance. Big History is a reminder that young bands often break up for reasons that have nothing to do with the quality of their music, as demonstrated by their 2011 "All at Once" EP — still available for download from their website. Sweet Crude and Vox and the Hound open.

When Justin Timberlake last played New Orleans, it was for swells attending a private corporate party as part of the Super Bowl festivities in 2013. At the show, he previewed a few songs from "The 20/20 Experience" with a biggish band and black suit and tie. Since then, he's released the second half of "The 20/20 Experience"—"2 of 2"—and traded the classic stagewear for a more contemporary wardrobe and haircut. According to reports, what remains the same is the creativity and exuberance he brings to the show, freshening old songs in exciting ways and doing so with apparent ease.

BRIDGEPORT, Conn. — Not quite ready for swimsuit season?
You can tone up and make new friends through the second annual Get Healthy Walk 'n Talk, a six-week free community walking series sponsored by Bridgeport's Department of Health and Social Services.
The series kicks off May 6 at 9 a.m. and runs each Saturday through June 10.
The group will meet at Seaside Park near the horse stables and walk from 9 to 10:30 a.m.
That's it. It's free, there's no registration and all are invited to join the walk.
"The Get Healthy Walk 'n Talk is a fun way to increase physical activity, while building social support and engaging in health discussions," said Maritza Bond, director of Health and Social Services.
Community health providers, such as registered dietitians and pediatricians, will be available to talk about health issues during the walks.
Walking reduces risk factors for heart disease, such as cholesterol, blood pressure, diabetes and obesity, and reduces the effects of stress. Walking in a group provides social support, which is said to increase the time spent in physical activity, improves fitness levels and improves confidence in the ability to exercise.
The first Get Healthy Walk 'n Talk began in Bridgeport in the spring 2016 and the movement has since spread to several cities in Connecticut.

Criminal charges are being made, now, against former Trump campaign manager, Paul Manafort, by Special Prosecutor Robert Mueller, but, on April 23rd, 2016, charges against Manafort were being made by members of the Ukrainian community in New Britain, warning of things now front and center in the national consciousness.
As Contributing Columnist John McNamara wrote at the time, "The Hartford area's Ukrainian-American community, including members of three church congregations in New Britain, is speaking out against a city native with a well-known name among Republicans — Paul Manafort, the son of a former mayor, longtime Washington lobbyist and now campaign manager for the GOP's unlikely frontrunner, Donald J. Trump."
The formal accusations against Manafort that include him, as the Washington Post reported, of arranging, "to hire two Washington-based lobbying firms to work on behalf of their Ukrainian clients," and, "communicating directly with then-Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych about the effort," are reminiscent of warnings from residents in New Britain, in April, 2016, who in, "calling for Manafort to exit the Trump campaign assert that Manafort and his colleagues 'have made tens of millions of dollars representing some of the world's most brutal dictators of the 20th century.'"
The New Britain protest occurred well before the Republican nomination for president and was actually held just ahead of the Connecticut presidential preference primary. A statement from the protesters in New Britain in April, 2016, led by Alex Kuzma, said,
Throughout his career Paul Manafort's work overseas has been in direct conflict with the foreign policy interests of the United States and its allies, yet Manafort is now working to help influence the future of the highest office of the United States, pushing for a candidate who is more on message with Russian President Putin than our current U.S. President and member of Congress on both sides of the aisle.
At the New Britain protest, "A group of Ukrainian-Americans held up signs in protest such as 'Shame on Putin, Shame on Manafort, Shame on Trump' and 'Manafort's Client Killed 104 Heroes.'"

"We Are Winter"
Ecstatic Canadians at Dundas Square celebrate Canada getting gold in men's hockey at the Sochi Winter Olympics, after gold in women's hockey, and gold in both men and women's curling. As much as these games were an absolute shame for being held in a country that's been taking steps to criminalize non-heterosexuality, I was very happy to see my Canucks achieve a victory again at the sport they love most. Go Team Canada!

We had been waiting for the cosmic confluence of good weather and free time to go to the islands for a sunset, and Saturday was the day. It was simply stunning...
From the ferry trip to Ward's Island, through ice so thick it had beautiful blue hues that reflected the soft sunlight...
To this solitary emergency phone by the entrance to Snake Island...
To our favourite spot, the north shore of Snake Island, for a simply unbeatable sunset...
And a walk on the frozen water between Algonquin Island and Ward's Island, with boat-houses temporarily moored in the ice...
To one last look at Toronto while waiting for the ferry to go back.

Yesterday, when walking to the cleaners, I turned a corner to find myself in front of a beautiful sunset. I went back home and to the rooftop as quickly as I could. Capturing sunsets properly with a camera is hard. So is expressing the comforting feeling I had watching it.

gelid, welcoming, colourful New Scotland - VI
Our very last day in Nova Scotia it was not just sunny, but even warm! Well, I mean, it was 2 ºC which, against the previous days' windchill of -18 ºC to -28 ºC, felt decidedly spring-like, if not summer-like.
So, with all the time in the world before our flight, we decided to finally take the Lighthouse Trail back from Lunenburg to Halifax. The Lighthouse Trail is just a series of roads that extend east to west and that take you past a number of historic lighthouses. On that specific stretch we were taking there were none, but I just wanted a relaxed, easy ride by the sea and past little towns instead of the monotony of the highway.
It was relaxed, indeed. Not overly pretty, but still quaint. Until we took a turn south down the Aspotogan Peninsula and we reached this really pretty spot, Northwest Cove. How simple a list of things you need for a picturesque setting! Some coloured houses, a boat, a frozen cove, some sun, and voilà! The perfect good-bye to our Nova Scotia winter experience!
So, against all odds, and even though we obviously didn't see the province in its glorious fiery red autumn glory, this was one amazing trip in a beautiful province with some of the most famous spots in Canada. Super fine, eh?

Voodoo Child
Good espresso in cute glasses. A simple place with plenty of attention to detail (think Danish hugelig meets Japan). And always a good-looking, stylish, young Asian man tending the place. A good end to a Saturday night. Oh, and a ginger scone to boot. ;-)

Vomiting rainbows
A pretty face. Style. Poise. And composture while vomiting unto a canvas the brightly coloured shakes she drinks up during her performance. She's the paint tube, her upper digestive tract the brush. Her painting - a most intimate art.
Millie Brown. As part of Breaking the Body's Boundaries. University of Toronto. A simple, powerful, beautiful performance tonight.

Snowstorm number... who's counting anymore?

And, besides the view, the good thing about the town not being a protected site was that there was a supermarket where we could stuck up on a few goodies to eat back in Lunenburg and for our drive back next day, via the Lighthouse Trail (finally!) to Halifax for our flight home. But not without first going to the other side of the bay for one last look at (frozen) Mahone Bay:
My original plan was to drive along the Lighthouse Trail from Peggys Cove to Lunenburg, enjoy the seaside road, and stop in the town of Mahone Bay. The blizzard we faced the day we were planning to do that changed our plans and we were lucky to make it to Lunenburg via the Trans-Canada Highway.
BUT, once in Lunenburg, and with gorgeous sunny (but still crazy cold) weather our second day there, I decided to make the short drive to Mahone Bay, just 15 minutes away. And why did I insist on going there? Well, Mahone Bay is nowhere as picturesque as Lunenburg, nor is it a UNESCO site like Lunenburg is, but it's got a postcard-perfect view from the bay of its row of three churches. As simple as that. Small, pretty town, with three cute churches by the water.
Yes, most probably it would be a lot prettier with an unfrozen bay and the churches reflecting on the water, right? But still, totally worth a visit. And up close the churches were really pretty too.

Happy Chinese New Year!
Visitors. By the creator of Koyaanisqatsi, the music by Philip Glass is beautiful. The film is transfixing. We visit earth. The world, the light, the shadows. We meet both absent and intent gazes of beings that we can't but observe and study and try to solve... This is visual meditation.

I made no changes to readAndProcess nor ObjectWritable, just changes in hbase code. Profiling writing, the changes in HADOOP-1498 made it so hbase code no longer showed as a significant consumer of CPU nor as an allocator of objects (Are there hbase CPU/Object-allocation hotspots showing in your reads profiling. Did HStoreKey.extractFamily improve?). 4% isn't much of an improvement. For the big wins, it looks like we need to look more at the RPC'ing (or in how hbase is using the RPC). St.Ack
