The Naturalistic-Style artist M. Perl hand painted exquisitely detailed blackberries, foliage, and blossoms to adorn the top portion of this early 1900s tankard. Blending beautifully in soft shades of purples, greens, yellows, and whites, the artistic fruit is in striking contrast to the black ground of the main portion of the mug which is delineated with a 1/8 inch wide sharp angled line of gold. Two gold berries hang from the top of the band with a pair of gold leaves at the bottom in three places - on each side and opposite the handle. The unusually shaped handle is completely gilded.
This Favorite Bavaria tankard measures 6-inches tall and tapers in diameter from 3-inches at the top to 3-7/8 at the bottom. The handle is a generous 1-3/4 inches out from the mug.
This tall mug is marked "Favorite Bavaria" in green script, a mark used by the C. Hutschenreuther Company in Bavaria, Germany. It is also hand signed by the turn of the century American Porcelain artist "M Perl."
This exquisite mug shows very little wear.

Touché Amoré: The Power In Pain
Californian post-hardcore unit Touché Amoré have graced our ears with their melodic feels tunes since way back in 2007. Their most recent record is Stage Four – an effort that's as powerful as it is personal. We sat down with frontman Jeremy Bolm to discuss the production of the new album and when Australia can expect to see more of them!
You just released your new album Stage Four. What was the writing and recording process like behind the album?
Pretty standard! We took a little more time than we had in the past with writing the record, and were we on and off for close to a year to really work on it. We were in the studio for about three weeks or so, whereas in the past we had been in there for exactly two weeks.
Besides time, was there any way it differed from previous releases?
No, not necessarily. We've all kind of worked on the same routine – it's the usual story where someone has an idea, and then brings it to practice and we go over it and pick it apart. Then it'll turn into a song, and i'll go to write the lyrics over it after.
In your opinion, what was some of the more memorable or defining moments throughout this process?
To be honest, I guess 'cause there's singing elements on the record, as opposed to just screaming – I think working with Brad Wood [producer] a little more closely on that was probably the only thing that stood out as a true defining moment, compared to other times in the past.
You were in a pretty serious car accident earlier this year. Did that impact any of the writing or recording stages?
Yeah, I was coming home from band practice when it happened, actually. I mean, thankfully I wasn't injured, and neither were the people involved, so it didn't necessarily stop the process. But it was a scary incident. It made its way into lyrics on the record, but besides from that, it didn't stop us working.
Is there a particular song on the new record that you connect with more so?
All of the songs are so deeply personal and they all have different meanings to me. Whether that be a song about my mother's life and growing up, or a song about my brother and I driving cross-country to bury her ashes, or getting the call that she passed away while I was performing across the country. But… Yeah.
I think you definitely have a strong bond with your fanbase. How have they reacted to the album so far?
It's been an incredibly positive response, which is always nice! I try my best to not pay attention to the negative things, but I haven't really experienced too much of that. It's been overwhelmingly positive and I'm incredibly thankful.
Who created your album art and what was the concept behind it?
Our guitar player, Nick – who has done all our album art in the past – did the layout, and then our friend Ryan came out to the house I was raised in and took photos – before I had to clear it out after my mums passing. Then, we went in and shot the same photos, so it was basically a collage of the before and after. It's a pretty heavy thing to look at, once you get the idea.
What can your fans expect next from you?
The usual! A whole lot of touring [laughs].
So your Australian fans can hope to see you guys out here in the future?
I hope we make it over there! I think there's talk of trying to get out there around May or June, but I don't know if that's for sure.
If you could say one thing to your fans, what would it be?
Thank you! Thank you for listening to us, and I appreciate your time.

The new star of British fantasy returns with The Waking Fire, a thrilling new epic fantasy of exploration and adventure, spies and assassins, explosive magic and the battle for empire. IGNITE THE FIRES OF WAR Claydon Torcreek is a bareknuckle brawler and small-time thief, who cares little for matters of empire. Yet the failure of his latest heist (not to mention some old-fashioned blackmail) has left him with no choice but to accept a dangerous mission in service to his country. War is coming, and Clay is almost certainly going to be on the losing side ...unless he can hunt down a fabled creature whose valuable blood might just turn the tide - if it even exists. Clay has handled many things in his time (most of them illegal), but nothing as priceless as his nation's future.

Peter Bebb was part of a team that won a coveted Academy Award for the Hollywood blockbuster's pioneering visual effects.
Peter, originally from Loggerheads in Staffordshire, graduated with a BA (Hons) Wood, Metals and Plastics (3D Design) from the University of Wolverhampton in 1996.
The 35-year-old, who now lives in London, travelled to the Kodak Theatre in Los Angeles to attend the ceremony yesterday (Sunday, 27 February 2011).
Dr Bryony Conway, Dean of the School of Art & Design at the University, said: "Everyone at the School of Art & Design is absolutely delighted with Peter's success at the Oscars. He has described his degree from the University as the 'catalyst' that started his career, and we are really proud of his achievements. He is a real inspiration to all our students hoping to follow in his footsteps."
Prior to the ceremony, Peter said it was a "real honour" to be nominated and was a testament to the hard work and effort the team put in to the film.
He also said his time at the University of Wolverhampton had a real impact on his career: "The degree from the University of Wolverhampton introduced me in to the world of CGI and the endless possibilities it can achieve - it was the catalyst that started it all."
After graduating, Peter landed a job as a runner at the Double Negative studios. Since then, he has worked on a variety of blockbuster films which are notable for their visual effects, including Batman Begins, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, and the latest James Bond films.
Released in 2010, Inception stars Leonardo DiCaprio as a specialised spy who secretly steals valuable commercial information from his targets while they are dreaming.
Peter's team worked on some of the film's most memorable and iconic scenes, including inner-city Paris folding in on itself and fight scenes that defied reality.
Inception was nominated for eight Oscars, and won accolades for Best Visual Effects, Best Cinematography, Best Sound Mixing and Best Sound Editing.
The film also scooped three BAFTAs at the ceremony earlier this month in London, including one in the Visual Effects category.

How long have you been volunteering with
I started with hart in the spring of 2006. So six years plus.
What is your volunteer role within hart?
I'm a Director and the Treasurer. I maintain the accounting
records, generate financial statements and required government
filings to maintain our status as a registered charity. I also
provide tax receipts for donations and assist in grant
What do you do when you are not
I've been a Chartered Accountant for 40 years and am now
semi-retired. Aside from walking our two dogs Echo and Jojo, I
provide consulting services to the Alberta Government and a few
clients in private businesses.
If you were a rescue dog, what kind would you
Just like our rescue dog Jojo, a beautiful, calm Sheppard collie
Why do you volunteer with hart?
Because of my love for dogs and my ability to provide the
administrative requirements. This allows other volunteers to
concentrate on working directly with needy animals.
What experience in hart made you realize you were making
a difference?
When I joined we had to reregister as a society and were
economically challenged, personally subsidized by hart members. By
getting reregistered, the administration caught up, and a hart
credit card in place, the foundation was built for volunteers to
concentrate on fundraising and organizational promotion. We are now
in good position to be able to help with broader initiatives like
Spay and Neuter clinics.
What advice would you give someone who is considering
Basically, know yourself. Determine what the best fit is for you.
And don't over commit so you can't follow through. You may want to
foster a dog and show them the love and affection they have missed
so far in their lives. You may not be able to take a dog but love
meeting people and can help at fundraising events. You may be a
strong coordinator and can help by working with foster families,
volunteer coordination, or arranging events.
Volunteering with hart and being able to provide a furever home
for a dog like JoJo is a wonderful, emotionally satisfying life
experience. I encourage you to join us.

I just thought that I would let you all know that this is during the height of the scouting popcorn sales season. My son is currently a 2nd year Webelo working his way to the Arrow of Light. He's also set a rather lofty goal of selling $2500 worth of popcorn this year too. Basically, this goal is due to the fact that he will then qualify for a scholorship fund that a percentage of all future sales will add to it. Last year he sold over $1200 worth to just family and a couple of mom and dad's friends.
I am planning on bringing popcorn to the shootout, but I will need to get an idea of how much. Yes, that's right, you buy it and walk away with it then and there.
For those who are interested, the attached picture is what is available. I plan on having an assortment of all the items below the $20 level. If anyone is interested in something else, please email me the items you are interested in and I can bring it along.

Prayer and books
The Diocese of Worcester sold St. Michael's and its attached rectory for $360,000.
The new library would replace the Taft Public Library, which is at 18 Main St.
The project was made possible after residents in November approved two debt exclusion questions. The sale price for St. Michael's was negotiated between chancery officials and the Taft Library Board of Trustees.
The church was shut down in September 2011 by Bishop Robert J. McManus as part of the chancery's plan to reorganize the diocese in light of the dwindling number of priests, faltering church attendance and scarce financial resources.
Members of the church were merged with the congregation of Holy Angels Church in Upton into a new parish, St. Gabriel the Archangel.
Diocesan officials said proceeds from the sale of St. Michael's will be used to help defray the construction costs of St. Gabriel's, which is at 151 Mendon St. on the Mendon-Upton line.
Holy Angels is still up for sale, though its rectory was sold for use as a family residence.
Town residents have long complained that the Taft Library is too small for the programs needed. Some town officials believe it would be too expensive to renovate the building because any upgrades would require costly changes to make it accessible to people with disabilities.
Several months ago, town officials looked at the future of Mendon's library needs and considered renovating and expanding the Taft structure, constructing a new facility on municipally owned land, or searching for other properties.
Officials thought that the St. Michael's option was the best.
At the Sept. 25 special town meeting, voters approved two articles related to the plan.
The project received the final green light on Nov. 6 when residents voted specifically to spend $360,000 to buy St. Michael's and $1.7 million to renovate it.
The town's Finance Committee had recommended against the project.
Town officials are hoping to save some money on the new library by enlisting the help of students attending Blackstone Valley Regional Technical Vocational High School.
School officials said the students may help with the painting, carpentry and plumbing, in addition to working on the electrical, heating, and ventilation systems.
Trustees have selected the Newton architectural firm of Drummey Rosane Anderson to draw up plans for the structure.
St. Gabriel's, which was dedicated in fall of 2011, cost about $8 million and will be paid for through a capital campaign and the proceeds from the sale of St. Michael's and Holy Angels. It serves about 1,700 families in the area.

Finally, the impact of extensive heating of hen's egg and cow's milk on threshold dose distributions was studied:
- Minimal impact of extensive heating of hen's egg and cow's milk in a food matrix on threshold dose-distribution curves.

A thesis by Henrike Broekman addressed the allergenic risks of proteins from mealworm and other insects as potentially novel food proteins:
- Allergenic risks of mealworm and other insects; An approach to assess the risks of new food proteins in allergic patients

Even old Greek used to state that ongoing health and wellness begins from the mouth area and food, you may easily conclude that whenever the mouth area and teeths are crooked and rotten your wellbeing will degenerate as well. Chewing food can also help greatly to dissolve and process the meals further. And saliva {increase} {nourishing} {your body} with proper {nutrition} also. Sugary acid is {number 1} enemy to the gums and enamel of the tooth. {At night time} this acid accumulates and starts decaying everything. Even citric fruits dont assistance with. Its important to consume food that is dependant on vegetables which has smaller amounts of any glucose including natural occurring fructose in the fruits, or without glucose. Intermittent fasting also solves a whole lot of issues with oral cavity flora and bacterias that accumulates as time passes. Quickest solution is to clean your teeth after every meals and do mouthwash every month at the desired dental medical clinic. With regards to teeth Orthodontics you could have them once you like but its better to put them on as an adolescent. Fixed prosthetics are certainly quickest & most reliable as it pertains to styling your teeths in a single year or a bit over. You will find variety of colors you can choose from, but most popular some may be white since it mixes together with the teeths. Implants are also broadly popular in elderly populace over 40 years. Some people dont possess time to manage their teeths. Some are too frightening to visit dentist office. And most them has DNA, and bad teeths run in the family. Implants replaces the vacant spot where tooth used to be and its own set either by screw that switches into the bone itself ,or its glue which is more non permanent solution that previous few years. They are able to detach for amount of reasons which means you have to keep up them. But besides that they are better than normal teeth and doesnt need any maintenance other that keeping your gums and oral cavity flora.
Teeth whitening can even be a factor in your dating life, to lighten your teeth you do not need much apart from smaller amounts of cash, good will no concern with the dentist. Oral smaller techniques are finished with local anesthetics and where our surgeons are incredibly with the capacity of and take take great pride in in.

Among the big problems dental office face are eradicating the nervous finishing in the teeth itself. Patients are approved painkillers to put up with this pain, because this pain will go on for a complete week. Routinely controls are mandatory, since theres always an alteration for tooth to be infected resulting in bigger issue. This complication can result in situation that patient need to extract that tooth, so our dentist are incredibly informative and persistent as it pertains to this.

DHAKA, Bangladesh (AP) — Bangladesh police are investigating a case of suspected suicide by a seamstress who survived the collapse of a multi-story building that killed more than 1,100 people last year, officials said Monday.
The 27-year-old woman, who police identified as Salma, apparently hanged herself in her rented home in a suburb of Bangladesh's capital, Dhaka, on Friday. Police have recovered her body, and investigator Kamal Hossain said he was waiting for the autopsy report.
Doctors at the state-run Dhaka Medical College Hospital said they sent samples collected from Salma's body to another government-run research center for viscera report.
Salma was one of about 2,500 workers who survived the collapse of an eight-story building that housed several garment factories. Authorities say 1,129 people died in the world's worst garment industry disaster, highlighting an industry with poor safety standards and often dangerous working condition.
Salma's husband, Mohammad Babu, said she suffered head injuries in the disaster, but had recovered.
Babu told police that he found Salma sound when he left home for work Friday morning.
Police detained him for questioning and were treating the wife's case as "unnatural death."
Hossain, the investigator, said he was skeptical about a theory spread by some local media that Salma committed suicide because she could not endure the pain caused by the wounds sustained in the building collapse.

BRPC Crafting Succession Plan For Executive Director
PITTSFIELD, Mass. — BRPC Executive Director Nathaniel Karns knows a thing or two about planning.
He's been in the business for 40 years, spending the last 23 years as the executive director of Berkshire Regional Planning Commission.
Now he's planning his retirement. He's just not sure when that will be.
"I would probably choose to retire this coming fall or the first of the year. I'm not certain if that is the best time to try to attract a full slate of candidates," he said on Thursday.
Karns hasn't made any notifications that he will be retiring, and says he still isn't sure if he's ready to pull the trigger on it soon. But he knows it is coming.
He's working with members of the commission on a succession plan to find only the third executive director the organization's had.
"We are going to start the process here shortly of putting together what we need to put in place," said the executive committee Chairman Kyle Hanlon.
Hanlon, of North Adams, plans to reach out to other members of the commission to put together a framework for a search committee and then get everything in order for what the organization will need for advertising the position and interviewing.
Karns has already started to get to work on it. He spoke with regional planning organizations across the state and developed a timeline and items that should be addressed during such a search.
"In reality, you are dealing with at least a six-month process," Karns said.
It starts when a notification of intent to retire is given and staff informed. From there, a search committee meets to review the advertisements and information packets. Then questions need to be developed for interviews.The search committee has to review each application, follow a matrix that the organization has archived, and schedule interviews. Finalists are selected and given to the executive committee, which will then perform more joint interviews.
Once a decision is made, negotiations of terms, and then final commission approval is needed. Both the commission and the candidate will have to approve the offer.
"Planning ahead and getting this set up right is half the work and then it is getting the work done," Karns said.
The process of finding an executive director is rare, to say the least, for the Berkshire Regional Planning Commission. Karns took over in August 1994. The commission was previously headed by its first executive director, Karl Hekler, who was hired a year after the organization's formation in 1967.
"I guess one of the biggest questions is do you hire a consultant?" said Commissioner Roger Bolton.
Karns presented a number of other questions such as should non-commission members be part of the search committee, should any indication of salary be listed, how big should the search committee be, how many final candidates should be sent to the executive committee, and when should background checks be done.
He didn't place any specific dates on the process, posing those questions as ones that should be done before a retirement announcement is made. He also outlined about how long each step should take. He said his process "tried to lay out a methodical approach to allow enough time but not waste time."
If everything is not in place when his time to retire comes, or the commission opts to try a different time of the year to find candidates, Karns will stick around to help.
"If we got to that stage I would request that perhaps I could go to a pretty flexible but more than half-time schedule," Karns said.
But for now, Karns doesn't have immediate plans to retire — but he is planning.

Nothing is more important than … brothers.
Seating in the library in the first day of my 32, I have a strong feeling that nothing is more important than the experience of work out our dream with brothers.
I love this feeling, addict to it. In addition, I deeply realize the chance is truely rare that there are probably only 1 or 2 times in one's whole life. I already got a luxury one- a 8years' fantastic journey with my best friends.
However, Why I study everyday like a middle school student for over 8 months while my brother keep fighting?
The thing that worths the valuable time is the next chance, the better one. In next journey, we will enjoy it more smoothly, more powerful, more successful, more happy than last time, since we are all preparing for this impending brilliance.
For me, my way is to study and fix all my weakness. Go!

most days, it can be oh-so-easy to walk around and miss the beauty right in front of you. today I'm talking about this earth, things that are all around us. Later we'll be talking about other types of beauty, but not today.
It takes a lot of practice and intention to open our eyes and be aware of the beauty. so often I just 'coast' through my day without paying any attention to beauty, without trying to find it at all. but when you make the effort, there is amazing beauty out there, some that will take your breath away.
a while ago, I went for a walk in the morning, and I wasn't really paying attention to anything. You know, just coasting along. But for whatever reason, as I walked past this puddle, something caught my eye and I stopped. I looked at it for a while {and actually, it was more of a pink sunrise sky at first}, and eventually decided that I should take a picture, which I did {obviously}. My point to all this is that all the times beauty is right in front of us even if we don't realize it.
As for me, I don't want to miss it!
|my apologies, because, like I said, it was more beautiful before, and if you don't think it's beautiful still, the idea still applies, right! :)
And now, a beautiful quote from Shauna:
{At the end of a beee-yootiful chapter called The Red Tree, {which by the way if you want to read it, it's short and I highly recommend it, go here and click down from the contents, to 'the red tree' and voila! ;)}}, here's what she says:
"What looks like a plain old city street is just that until you lift up your eyes and see the red tree, and then you realize that this is no plain city street. This is a masterpiece just here for the week, our very own wonder of the world, and I just about missed it."
I think this quote was also applicable, because around here at least, the trees are beautiful shades of brilliant and gorgeous, and sometimes I miss them.
have you got any tips for intentionally seeing the tangible beauty around you? :) would you share them?
blessings, friends!
love Emma
linking up with Chantel and Elizabeth :)

By Laura .Jungreis email@example.com
When Rob Basso was 11 years old, living in Haddonfield, N.J., he delivered newspapers by bicycle. Early one cold morning, his ski mask slipped over his eyes and obscured his view. He crashed into a car, falling to the ground and destroying his bike. He had to finish the rest of his route by foot and save for a new bicycle. But Basso believes this was an early look into the life of a small business owner.
"You fall flat on your face, literally, but you still find a way to pick yourself up and keep going;' Basso, of Huntington, said. "You have to be prepared to get kicked in the teeth, and go get dentures."
Basso shared this experience with a crowd at Book Revue in Huntington on June 6, when spoke about his book, "The Everyday Entrepreneur."
Basso, who today is president of Ad vantage Payroll Services and a founding investor in Empire National Bank, entered the world of entrepreneurship at an early age.
"Most of it was survival;'he said."I did n't have that new bike or wasn't able to go to the arcade with my friends. If I wanted to have something, I had to go work for it. It was really that simple."
Basso was involved with.a variety of entrepreneurial ventures, from the paper route to an ice cream truck route, before he worked for the first time in the payroll sector. Feeling overworked and underappreciated, he left the company after 18 months to begin his own.
"I thought I could do it better," he said. "I didn't want to work for anyone else."
Advantage Payroll Services now has over 2,500 clients.
Basso's success inspired him to share encouraging stories of thriving entrepreneurs in a book. The book tells his own tale alongside many others, like that of Jeff Hoffman, cofounder of priceline.com.
Basso spoke with ease in front of the crowd at Book Revue, alternating be tween reading passages from the book, from chapters entitled "Lemonade stands are just too static" and "Diving without a shark cage," to telling anecdotes and interacting.
"How many people here have their own business?" Basso asked the audience. Several people raised their hand, including Susannah Meinersman of Bon Bons Choeolatier in Huntington, a small business that was started 33 years ago by her mother, Mary Alice.
"I have heard about Rob and I just wanted to come see him in person," Meinersman said. "You're always looking for motivation in your business."
Basso's discussion of uncertainty when you have a small business and the theme of embracing risk struck a chord with Meinersman.
"Sometimes it's exciting and sometimes it's really, really scary;' she said.
Basso noted that compared to other downtown villages, though, Huntington is doing better. Restaurants in particular are thriving this year, he said.
Basso acknowledged how today's economy is a hurdle for entrepreneurs and small business owners, but he stressed the positives.
"It's the least expensive time to get in to business;' Basso said, crediting the Internet as one reason why.
Basso has advice for aspiring entrepreneurs: Know what you're getting into, have a plan, and make sure you have proper funding.
"Too many businesses fail because they're underfunded," Basso said.
Basso believes the success of small businesses is paramount to saving the economy.
"The simple thing is, without small business owners, there's only so many companies in the U.S. that could create jobs on a very big scale," Basso said.
Basso has noticed a positive trend among his small business clients that he hopes will fuel success, and that is optimism.
"People are more optimistic," he said. "People feel better about what's going on in the economy. Things aren't that great statistically, but sentiment drives reality."

Couldn't agree more mate.
The amount of shite trikes I've seen at rallies is shocking.
Without fail owned by off the counter 'badass brothers of the third wheel' types.
Bits of shitty bendy bracketry,odd bolts incorrectly installed,and as you mentioned,once you look at drive lines and their angles it's a wonder the things got there at all,never mind passed any MOT test.
That's probably why most are daubed with gallons of matt black paint and camo netting.
To hide the piece of shite from knowledgeable eyes.

Sivir Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
This is a guide to a tanky/ad version of a very underrated champion. Sivir's passive gives her an extra 10% dodge chance while she is moving. Utilizing this can make Sivir a powerhouse. By an amplifying tome first, your boomerang blade will give you harass enough to bring down most champs early, and letting you kite like a madman. Her boomerang blade stacks with attack damage as well as AP, so you can burst just as well late game as you can early game.
Early Game
Taking Boomerang Blade first gives you a lot of damage output, giving your team a huge level 1 advantage, so if you have the opportunity to engage, do it. Getting ricochet second can help you farm, but the bounce target isn't exact, so I prefer to get the Spell Shield, especially when you're laning against a caster. By maxing Boomerang Blade, you give yourself some harass, and a way to initiate on a target in lane. Timing the spell shield is vital to Sivir's laning phase, because as you have no early game mana regen,this is the only way for her sustain her abilities.
Mid/Late Game
I would like to keep this guide short, so this is the final section. Late game Sivir is very strong, but only if farmed well. Her ability to pop her ult and take out an enemy tower makes her a great split pusher, and ricochet can change the tide of a team fight. The most important thing to remember about Sivir is her dodge chance. ALWAYS KEEP MOVING. Whether you're targeting a tower, or in the dead center of a team fight. By taking a point in the Nimbleness mastery, if your dodge chance proc's (which it usually will seeing as you will have around 35% dodge chance while moving) you gain 10% movement speed, which you can either use for chasing down an enemy, or getting the hell out of there.
Thanks guys for reading, be sure to give this guide some love, as it's my first one, and get on out there and show people what they're missing out on with this absurdly underplayed champion.

Coal India achieves near-target performanceSeptember 5th, 2012 - 4:39 pm ICT by IANS
New Delhi, Sep 5 (IANS) With coal dominating the political discourse, Minister of State for Coal Pratik Prakashbapu Patil Wednesday said Coal India Ltd (CIL) had achieved over 97 percent of its 2011-12 production target.
The minister informed parliament in a written reply that in respect of the target of 447 million tonnes set for the annual plan of 2011-12, the state miner actually produced 435.8 million tonnes, which was 97.5 percent of the plan target.
Similarly, the Singareni Collieries Co Ltd (SCCL), jointly owned by the union and Andhra Pradesh governments, with an actual production of 52.2 million tonnes had an achievement rate of over 102 percent for 2011-12.
While CIL is the country's biggest coal miner accounting for over 80 percent of the country's production, SCCL's proven coal reserves, which stretch for 350 km in the Godavari valley of Andhra Pradesh, amount to a massive 8,791 million tonnes.
The minister further informed that coal companies under the ministry are subjected to a regime of periodic reviews and production is monitored on a daily and monthly basis at both area and company levels.
Other public sector coal companies reached 76 percent of the production target for 2011-12 with a combined production of 2.702 million tonnes.
The captive mines in the private sector achieved 90 percent of the production target for the plan year in question with a total production of 41.98 million tones.
Independent mining companies are eligible for a captive block provided the company has commitments to sell coal to approved end-users.
Captive mining was used to supply the iron and steel production in 1976, then for power generation in 1993 and finally coal gasification and liquefaction in 2007.
With India's economic growth, there has been added demand for energy in the country. Coal India has, in fact, expressed its inability to fully meet domestic demand, highlighting the need for increasing coal imports.

Carbon tax-they'll use the proceeds to end fuel poverty. Tell that to those in receipt of the pathetic fuel allowance for the past decade.They won't believe you and what about the impact on rural people with no public transport alternatives? 20% off Cowen's salary-he'll be just like Barack so. Again the judges will be urged!!! to take a paycut. Time for a referendum to ensure that we decide their rates of pay rather than a voluntary action.
Here comes the action for many of us. 'More is required'.

SRS BZNZ : Taking product photos with your furry friend
This week we look at the super srs task of taking product photographs with the help of your furry friend. We'll be focussing on cats {obvs} but you could apply these tips to any four legged companion. Let's face it, having a delightful kitty/bunny/puppy in your product shots will make your photo 100 times more adorable/pin-able. Here are some some super cute examples in case you still need convincing ... look, n'aww, so sweet! Oh and look at this little puggy too!
Sadly, I don't have my own cuddly studio assistant, so I called upon Rachel from Oh No Rachio! and her babe Luna for help with this post.
{Disclaimer : Remember that the animal you're working with is always the highest priority. Please don't do anything to cause them discomfort or stress for the purpose of a photo, that's not nice at all}.
~ Utilize treats. Hide them under your product or wave them around behind the camera to get kitties' attention.
~ Always have your products to hand to seize any opportunity {e.g ... whilst napping}
~ Don't let them know what you are doing. Cats are complicated creatures who will sabotage your efforts as soon as they work out what you're up to.
~ Place your product next to a cardboard box. It's science. Cat + box = cat in box.
~ Don't go it alone. Recruit a friend to entertain/distract/hold kitty whilst you take photos.
~ Don't expect to be able to sell the actual products you used for your photo shoot afterwards, they will most likely be mauled & ruined. Maybe keep that one off original away from kitty.
~ Think about the background. You could create a charming backdrop using your products, then lure kitty into the scene to take some cute shots.
~ If all else fails, photoshop!
Rachel has a whole load of srs tips on her blog for you to learn how to take super photos, that you should most definitely have a look at.
Enjoyed this post? Don't be shy, say hello!

Then he needs to be followed with a camera at very high speeds for long stretches of time, because he does not like the wait around to setup shots. And most importantly, you have to keep the camera rolling because you never know what you might miss.

It looks like the Premier's investment in spin doctors has paid off. Presumably the six or so "strategic communications" staff in his office had something to do with avoiding what could have easily been a very messy mixed message yesterday.
You see, while the Premier was being quoted in this Daniel Mercer article in the West Australian newspaper saying the Gillard Government "should drop" its planned renewable energy target, Ministers Grylls, Collier and Marmion published a media statement trumpeting the official opening of the Greenough River Solar Farm – without any mention of how the project might contribute toward WA's part of the Commonwealth's renewable target.
Read the rest at Premier's spin team delivers... in the short term at least

An unknown malicious actor stole 30 gigabytes of data from a defence contractor. That's a huge security oopsie. But it's also a massive failure of governance, one the government is keen to sweep under the rug.
On Wednesday afternoon, ZDNet broke the story that the stolen data included information on defence projects including the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, the P-8 Poseidon maritime patrol aircraft, the C-130 transport aircraft, the Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) smart bomb kit, and "a few Australian naval vessels", as an officer from the Australian Signals Directorate (ASD) put it. The story was soon picked up by the mainstream media.
On Thursday morning, the government spin doctoring began.
"This attack on the defence contractor here in Adelaide is really a salutary reminder to everyone that when the government says that businesses need to take their cybersecurity very seriously, we aren't joking," defence industry minister Christopher Pyne told ABC Radio.
"It's a very, very significant part of the defence of these major projects, and all Australian businesses, small and medium enterprises, and primes need to be getting their cybersecurity protections at top level, at top drawer protections, because these kinds of attacks will occur," Pyne said.
All that is true.
By "primes", Pyne means the top-tier defence contractors, Lockheed Martin and Boeing and Raytheon and BAE Systems and Thales and all the other big players. Apparently a prime — we don't know which one — was the "partner organisation" that alerted the ASD to the breach, not an intelligence organisation.
The data that was exfiltrated by this unknown malicious actor, which the ASD dubbed "APT ALF", was "commercial data not military data … not classified information," according to Pyne.
"I don't think you can try and sheet blame for a small enterprise having lax cybersecurity back to the federal government. That is a stretch," he said.
Pyne's message was that the Australia government has "been saying relentlessly" that organisations need to take cybersecurity "very seriously". "We work very hard with businesses", he said, including the "4000 defence industry businesses in Australia".
Let's unpack that a bit.
According to the ASD officer, some of the exfiltrated data was restricted under the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), the US system designed to control the export of defense and military related technologies. Since that's a US thing, certification to handle ITAR data is done according to US standards. Such data may well be more commercial-in-confidence in nature, a prime's "11 secret spices", if you like.
But if this information is flowing from the US, through a prime, to a sub-contractor a notch or two down, would it even be seen by Australian government agencies, let alone run through a formal classification process?
I have no reason to believe that Pyne is telling porkies. In the context of this very visible discussion, he'd be a fool to straight-out lie. But he's certainly trying to parse the subtle, fuzzy boundaries between classified, sensitive, restricted, and confidential. Handy.
The other issue for me is Pyne trying to distance the government from any responsibility for this security lapse.
Yes, the ASD's cyber defence team is tasked to protect government and military agencies, critical infrastructure, and, more broadly, national security. Third- and fourth-tier contractors are not its problem. The ASD just came in to clean up the mess.
Technically it's not the government's fault. But if the government isn't making sure that the entire defence supply chain is properly secured, who is? Nobody, it seems. That sounds to me like a governance oversight.
Will the Australian government now improve its oversight of defence contractor security? Or will it merely spin the problem under the rug with the usual generic comments about working very hard?
