Changeable weather has been keeping the much anticipated smoothounds offshore this summer, and anglers had to try for other species in the latest Skegness Pier Angling Club match, held at Chapel Point.
The match went right to the wire, with Adie Cooper (pictured) pulling out a small flounder on his last cast to win the Festival Cup with a smoothound, a thornback ray and two flounders measuring 187cm in total.
He also won the longest round fish prize with his smoothound, which hit the measure at 83cm.
Paul Marshall continued with his rich vein of form, taking second place with six flounders for 178cm, also winning the longest flatfish prize with his best flounder, a 35cm specimen.
Dave Burr framed again in third place, with four flounders for 107cm.
The next SPAC match is the annual Lincolnshire Pairs, which will be held on Sunday from 9am-1pm at Drake Road, with parking along Seacroft Esplanade.
The match will be pegged over two zones, with small keepsake trophies for the winning pair and the match is open to all, with non-members welcome.
However, the match is for pairs only, so individuals will not be able to fish.
For further info, please contact SPAC Secretary Chas Tibble on 07984 967988 or email email@example.com

Humana Home
There are angels among us. Her name is Jill. Humana and Jill have been wonderful for my mother, bettering her life and making the transition to assisted living a very positive experience. The past year has been a very difficult journey that has been made so much better than it could have been. A negative experience was turned into a positive experience. Thank you Jill and Humana!
Canines, Cats & Critters — Town and Country — Florida Veterinary Hospital
This story starts on St. Thomas in the U. S. Virgin Islands with the veterinary office, Canines, Cats and Critters and Equine. This is about my little Shi-Tzu dog, Lisa. Lisa got herself into rat poison which ended OK but in the process they found with an x-ray that she had a stone in her bladder. Once back in Ocala the stone was removed by another great veterinary clinic, Town and Country. They also helped incredibly with my other dog, Baxter, a Tibetan Terrier. With Baxter a cancerous tumor was successfully removed. The continued care with Town and Country has been wonderful as they look for the best care for my dogs. A saga continued with Lisa as Town and Country discovered other major problems with her. She was referred for care to the University of Florida Veterinary Hospital where more fantastic care was given. Lisa had a liver shunt repaired, which was an extremely delicate surgery. They took exceptional care of both Lisa and me! I am grateful to have them so close by. I want to offer a special thank you to all three of these veterinary centers for taking care of my dogs and helping give a successful outcome to everything. I couldn't be more grateful.
Making Waves Salon & Spa
…on 6160 SW SR200 West.
The hair colorist at this business was able to return my ruined hair to normal. I highly recommend this business. Ask for Ruth. This salon also has fantastic products. Business located in Jasmine Plaza Phone 352-854-6531
Manure Management System
They have nice looking dumpsters, not gross looking dumpsters that one would recognize as a dumpster. They also have a nice small truck that doesn't tear up your lawns or your pastures.
The Angel aspect… They went out of their way to follow the guidelines of my home owners association guidelines so that the dumpster, from color to location, blended in nicely with the environment and does not stick out as an eyesore. Also, on the day of bringing the dumpster for the first time they helped with the relocation of the fence poles and fencing. They stayed and helped and made sure that with the neighbor's help all went according to plan. This company is amazing and a true pleasure to work with. They are also known as All Trailer rental. Phone number is 352-690-RENT.
Gilberts Hardware and General Store
…on the corner NW 326 and 225A
This store has about everything. You can eat and buy any lawn item or tool. They are friendly and very helpful. They will always answer any questions that you have. My story is that I have been living in a place where our water comes from cisterns not wells. I knew nothing about how our well functioned, no less knowing how to turn things on or off. One of my horse's water troughs was spurting out water like a geyser. I tried to cap it off which looked like an effort in a cartoon. I finally called Gilbert's and asked for help. They immediately sent a wonderful gentleman who fixed both troughs, "capped" my geyser and had me up and running again in no time flat. How bout that for customer service. You gotta love Ocala.
Ocala Farrier — Scott Hook
He fixed my thoroughbred so that he has incredibly healthy feet and perfect balance probably for the first time in this horse's life. He was very patient with both of my horses. The last time he came to work with the horses was the same day that we were going to place our first dumpster. Scott realized that the dumpster wasn't going to fit the space as it existed nor would the fencing permit it to happen. He took the project in hand and gathered the neighbors and the driver of the Manure Management system and with relative ease had the fence down, rearranged and back up quicker than I could ever imagine. I said to Scott how impressed about how kind he was and helpful. His reply was, "Well, that's the way we are in Ocala!" I am glad I picked Ocala for my new home.
Pronto Limousine Service
Buyer beware, you will be nickel and dimed without your prior knowledge. I also did not like the driver at all. His attitude was awful and not the kind of person who should be in the limousine service industry. The owner follows suit. My suggestion, rent a car. It will be cheaper and a more pleasant ride, especially with pets.
Hair Salon to Avoid
There is a hair salon near Dillard's on Hwy 200 that is highly recommended to avoid. One of the employees should not be licensed to cut or color hair. She was found to be totally incompetent. My hair was ruined by this person. When I complained one of the owners refused to give me a refund until I threatened legal help. The results with the attached nail salon was equally as horrible.
Sporting Goods store to avoid
This is a warning for anyone wanting to buy sporting goods if you purchase something you need to return. My husband bought a wrist band for exercising to protect his wrist. What he purchased wasn't actually what he wanted so I went to return it to the large sporting goods store very close to Dillards on 200. This was in less than a two week span. The product was in its original packaging and undamaged. My husband paid cash for the item which is part of the problem. I was allowed to return the item but for LESS than the original amount and only to purchase another item from the store. Absolutely no cash refund. My thoughts are "buyer beware". Their name says it all because they are _ _ _ _ _!

Toussaint in TWU Local 100: How to lose friends and alienate people
From the outset, he began with a reputation as a new, fresh type of labor leader. After leading a short subway strike, he endeared himself momentarily, to some of the more advanced elements in and around the labor movement. He was cheered by a packed crowd of academics at the City University of NY, honored by labor historians, invited to make the keynote address at the statewide convention of the Public Employees Federation.
Chief among those who were favorably impressed was The Chief, New York's civil service weekly, a pro-labor tabloid that provides the main source of dependable information about public employee unions in the city and state. Its early news stories and editorial comments were important in furbishing Toussaint's enviable public reputation.
But abruptly, Toussaint and The Chief have fallen out. Despite its early services, he now treats the paper like a hostile element. His problem is that The Chief, even while acknowledging his virtues, has remained independent and impartial. That's what Toussaint cannot tolerate. That's why he turns friends into enemies in his own union. He demands uncritical, unquestioning subservience.
Promptly after Toussaint was first elected in 2000, the New Directions caucus that propelled him into office fell apart. Although New Directions had campaigned for years on a platform of unleashing the democratic spirit in Local 100, Toussaint, the new president, insisted on exercising the unilateral right to fill every paid staff position by presidential appointment, free of control by the executive board. The founders of New Directions, like Noel Acevedo, newly elected secretary treasurer on the New Directions slate, went into opposition. Even while continuing to credit Toussaint for fine work in administering Local 100 affairs, The Chief reported the views of his critics in its news stories and gave them space in its Letters to the Editor columns. (You've probably never seen anything like these L to E contributions. Writers have extended, even tedious, space for self-expression on anything remotely relevant and are free to denounce The Chief and its editor, Richard Steier.)
So it went. In 2006, when Toussaint ran for reelection to a third term, he faced four opponents. (One opposition ticket was supported by John Samuelsen, a former close Toussaint supporter whom he had excommunicated over some minor disagreement.) Toussaint regained the presidency but without a majority, with only a 45% plurality. The Chief duly gave full coverage to all sides, including Toussaint's rivals, with more, many more, letters to the editor. With all that, Toussaint was still doing fine in the paper's pages.
All went well until the brief Local 100 strike on New York subways and buses at the end of 2005. In editorial comment, The Chief mildly criticized Toussaint's handling of the strike; but relations became really strained in the strike aftermath.
Penalized for violating the state's law against public employee strikes, Local 100 was fined over a million dollars and lost the right to receive dues by automatic payroll checkoff. So the union now campaigned to convince members to pay dues by voluntarily authorizing regular deductions from bank deposits or credit cards. It was rough going. After the first round of appeals, 50% of the members had complied. The Chief found this a poor performance by Toussaint; in our Union Democracy Review, we commented that it was an encouraging beginning. (The glass was half full!)
Now, Toussaint was obviously becoming edgy. John Samuelsen, formerly so loyal a Toussaint henchman, distributed a letter to the Local membership urging them to support the union by paying their dues. But because he had written some derogatory words about Toussaint --- essentially, pay your dues despite Toussaint --- he was summarily removed as job steward. Now, in a pointed editorial comment, The Chief reproved Toussaint for arbitrary, authoritarian behavior: "Mr. Toussaint...has gone too far in stripping Mr. Samuelsen of a shop steward position to which he was elected last month...." A few weeks later, The Chief editorialized "Mr. Toussaint...has stopped talking to us because we haven't censored his critics."
Meanwhile, Local 100 continued its campaign for voluntary dues payments. When a Chief reporter called the union to ask how the drive was going, he was told to get lost, a sign of how deeply the union's relations with the paper had deteriorated. Editor Steier explained:
"They told …reporter Ari Paul that there is no reason to supply such data to a newspaper whose coverage of the union they [distrusted] … What seems to have particularly annoyed Mr. Toussaint and his acolytes is a series of letters by in-house critics regarding his leadership and the prominence sometimes given to some of those critics in our news stories…."
A week later, more was to come: In the 2006 election, a Toussaint opponent had been elected vice president of the Private Bus Lines division. But just a few months into the three-year term, he accepted a management job and resigned his union post. Another battle inside Local 100. Members of the division, which had supported Toussaint's critics, called for an election to fill the vacant spot, arguing that the local bylaws required an election, but Toussaint, disagreeing, insisted that the executive board, now under his control, could fill the position by appointment, a position upheld by the TWU international president.
After reporting the straight facts, as usual and at length, The Chief commented in an editorial: "We have no way of knowing which side is right…. But it is untenable for the Local 100 leader to on the one hand demand that members rally to his side for the greater good of the union, and on the other insist that one segment of the rank and file be denied the right to democratically choose their representative on the executive board…."
The Chief started out solidly in Toussaint's camp. You would imagine that any public figure would carefully cultivate that kind of asset. Instead, Toussaint managed to alienate it. That talent for turning friends into critics helps explain how he has succeeded in alienating so many in his own local. Still, after all this, The Chief editor still keeps a small warm spot open for the big man. In July, Steier quoted a former Toussaint admirer "who spoke conditioned on anonymity out of concern about Mr. Toussaint's tendency to react harshly to what he perceived as criticism…said … that for all his flaws he is a cut above most union leaders. 'Roger is a diamond,' this man said, 'Maybe in the rough, but a diamond.'"
For that kind of comment, you need the protection of anonymity! Maybe Local 100 diamonds must always be called perfect, never rough.

I enjoyed your article, being a local 100 member. I think one reason that members have not rallied to pay union dues is in your article. When a union stops listening to its members it is no longer a union. A president of a union who acts like a king, will only have paid jesters as his loyal subjects.The sad situation can only get worse as days progress ,members who were truly pro union have seen the destruction of what could have been a truly GREAT union.
it is the irony that needs to be analyzed here. mike d for example states 'when a union stops listening to its members it is no longer a union' well, what if the members stop listening to its union????? next, how strong is a union leader if he must consult with 30000 members before making a decision???(God bless the next president who will have to appease these "democratic" requirements) and......my last point here will be the idiocy of justifying not paying union dues!!! not for a second should this be a thought! especially in this economy!!! we should have been able to celebrate after lifting the dues checkoff by not asking it back........

Listen to this article
In its early years, Ford Motor Company owned a steel plant and a rubber plantation to guarantee a supply of high quality materials.
That would be unthinkable for any carmaker today and Ford has long operated as a design and marketing company that marshals finished parts from external suppliers.
The telecoms industry – born a good 18 years before Henry Ford founded his company – has been slower to evolve beyond this own-it-all mentality.
Change swept in during the 1980s, when regulators forced the end of the monopolies and enabled new entrants to build their own networks.
In that period, Europe's operators exploded from 20 national incumbent carriers to 600 licensed operators across the region. Of the 600, fewer than two-thirds survived the bursting of the dotcom bubble.
But British entrepreneur Allen Timpany saw a different opportunity in deregulation. "This was a market discontinuity and I was looking for a way to take advantage of it. The easy answer was to get a licence to be an asset-based network that owned its infrastructure. But that seemed like a terrible business, about as attractive as becoming a small steel maker," he says.
Instead, he set out to become a middleman, one who could consolidate the newly fragmented telecoms supply chain into bespoke services for business customers.
To do this, he believed, there was no need to own the underlying network infrastructure. He would design, source and manage the network on behalf of the customer, and in 1988 he founded Vanco, the first virtual network operator (VNO).
A key advantage of the Vanco model, says Mr Timpany, is that a VNO is free to select the cheapest or best network link to serve a customer.
Asset-based carriers, on the other hand, are bound to show a return on their existing network assets and this often goes against the best interest of customers.
In many cases, traditional service providers will not even bid for a global contract unless they are sure they can run 60-70 per cent of a customer's traffic over their own networks, he says.
Today, Vanco provides global voice and data connectivity as well as remote access and managed security services.
A typical Vanco customer is a multinational company that needs to connect hundreds or thousands of sites across dozens of countries. It connects 1,700 sites in 10 countries for Michelin subsidiary Euromaster and ties together 80 separate service providers to connect 155 sites in 64 countries for British Airways.
Critics of the VNO model say that the quality of the assembled network is at the mercy of outside suppliers.
But Vanco offers aggressive service level agreements (SLAs) and discusses any breaches with customers during monthly review meetings. "We have never had a contract broken in 18 years for SLA reasons," says Mr Timpany.
This underlines another difference in the VNO model. "One of the greatest failures of carriers is their ability to work together," says Mark Robinson, Vanco's Global Service Delivery Manager. "We try to resolve problems when they occur, whereas carriers want to show that the problem is not in their network."
To underline this openness, Vanco gives its customers full online access to the same management tools that Vanco uses to keep its services running. Vanco's network operations centres manage 25,000 customer routers spread across more than 350 service provider networks in 152 countries.
Business customers are increasingly attracted to Vanco's proposition. It has more than 190 customers worldwide, including such companies as Siemens, Accor and Lloyds TSB.
Since its creation in 1988, Vanco's revenues have grown about 40 per cent a year, reaching £147m in its latest fiscal year. "You can only have that when you are in step with the market," says Mr Timpany.
Vanco's contracts run an average of four years and the renewal rate is more than 97 per cent. Borrowing a pricing mechanism used by the IT industry, the VNO reviews customer solutions annually to see if they can be optimised and then takes a cut of any savings realised.
This typically results in a 25 per cent cut in the price of bandwidth over the life of the contract, although the contract's absolute value tends to rise as sites and bandwidth are added.
The entry barriers for other VNOs may appear to be low but Mr Timpany believes that few new entrants could build the carrier relationships and the credibility needed to succeed. For instance, Vanco has relationships with 4,000 of the world's 10,000 operators and actively trades with 500 of them.
"Swisscom looked to copy what we did. But they decided it would be too complicated and expensive," says Mr Timpany. Instead, the telco signed a 10-year contract with Vanco to resell the VNO's services to Swiss companies looking for global network solutions.
A similar deal is likely this year and Vanco also has reseller agreements with Telecom Italia and Asianetcom in Singapore.
Now, Mr Timpany aims to accelerate his company's growth rate above 40 per cent a year. "I don't think Vanco has arrived until we've reached a multi-billion pound scale."

Funding to private robotics companies nearly doubled in 2015, reaching a record high in deals and dollars. Already, in 2016 (till March 21), close to 15 companies, including Restoration Robotics, Savioke and 5D Robotics, have raised an aggregate of $89 Million.
Hi Everyone Today We Will Talk About the Gold Digger Robots
The robotics category excludes drones, but includes robotics companies focused on process and manufacturing automation, agricultural automation, surgical applications, and personal/social robots. Together, the companies have raised more than $1.4 Billion in cumulative funding since 2011
Deals in robotics went from 45 in 2014 to 83 in 2015. The investment growth rate during this period was 115%, compared to 55% the previous year. The highest funded round in 2015 was $150 million raised by California based Auris Surgical Robotics, from Lux Capital, Peter Thiel backed Mithril Capital Management and NaviMed Capital
Auris Surgical Robotics: Said in 2013 it was developing a microsurgical robot for eye surgery, particularly cataract removal
Anki: Program that makes remembering easy
Restoration Robotics: Transforming hair restoration with precision robotics
Medrobotics: Develops robotic surgical products, including a platform that provides surgeons access and visuals to hard-to-reach anatomical locations
Rethink Robotics: Developing robots with common sense to increase productivity and efficiency in manufacturing environments
The second quarter of 2015 saw the peak in deal count. Over 20 companies in seven countries raised financing. That quarter, Beijing-based Ninebot raised $80 million, backed by Xiaomi and Sequoia Capital China. Ninebot focuses on smart short-transportation products, and acquired rival Segway last year. The third quarter of 2015 saw an all-time high in funding, driven by the Auris deal. Funding dropped almost 74% in the last quarter of 2015 (compared to Q3), though deal activity remained nearly the same. In Q1 2016, funding has recovered from the slowdown, but the numbers are still not equal to the levels seen in the first three quarters of 2015.

A good turn out again on a dull but windless day. Our route took us through the centre of Southampton on cycle tracks and then over the Itchen Bridge. We kept close to the coast through Victoria Country Park where people were enjoying the last days of the school holidays. A well deserved coffee was taken by the river in Hamble. We used the ferry to cross the river. Two trips were necessary but the ferryman said that he had taken up to 12 bikes! We wended our way back through Sarisbury Green, Manor Farm Country Park and through the West End and back through Swaythling up to Chilworth.
A big thank you to James for taking us on this ride which was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone. A lot of time and organisation had gone into the day at it was greatly appreciated.

The introduction of mobile Kisan Credit Card (mKCC) by PayMate has brought relief to more than 7,000 farmers in the Villupuram district of Tamil Nadu. The system enables the farmers to make agricultural purchases like seeds, fertilizers etc. using a mobile phone thereby eliminating the need to travel distances.
The venture is jointly developed by wireless transaction platform provider- PayMate India, Pallavan Grama Bank, Indian Bank and National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD).
For availing the services, the farmer has to register himself with Pallavan Grama Bank. He can withdraw the needed amount by approaching the Business Correspondent (BC) with his mobile number. After this he receives a 4-digit PIN number via an automated voice response. The cash is dispatched once the account is checked for balance availability. For his agricultural purchase, the farmer has to merely inform the shopkeeper about his requirements with his mobile number.
As per Indian Institute of Banking & Finance study, through mKCC, each farmer is saving Rs. 7314 including cost save on travel (Rs.75-80 per visit to banks) and average interest saving (around Rs 1,000 in a year). The system has observed phenomenal revenue growth in June 2012 with a whopping 410% jump.

Creepypasta-Misery: I do NOT own "Let It Go," nor do I own ANY of the Creepypastas mentioned in this. I DO own this parody, though. If you want to use it, give me credit!
Enjoy, loves~
The blood glows red in the forest tonight,
Not a killer to be seen.
A kingdom of Creepypastas,
And it looks like I'm a Proxy.
The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside.
Couldn't keep it in;
Slender knows I've tried.
Don't let them through,
Don't let them see,
Be the good girl you always had to be.
Conceal, don't feel,
Don't let it show.
Well now it shows!
Let 'em drown, go to sleep.
Can't hold it back anymore.
Let them scream, don't let them go.
You don't have kidneys anymore.
I don't care
If they try to scream.
Let the killing go on.
The pastas never bothered me anyways.
It's funny how some ticking
Makes everything sound right.
And the police that once controlled me,
Can't get to

Boston: day threeThe first day of watching Naomi went pretty well. A lot of time was spent trying to calm her down, and she didn't sleep or eat as much as she usually does (we learned later). Naomi liked the two walks we took her on. Overall it was a good day. Today was better, she ate a lot and slept for long periods, and was really happy when we were playing with her. I think she's getting used to us. Shannon has a picture of me entertaining the wee one. On our trip to the grocery store today we had one adoring elderly onlooker who asked us Naomi's age. People are generally considerate of you if you have a baby strapped to your chest. She's like a negativity shield!
Last night we played this tile-based board game called Carcassonne with Phil and it was a lot of fun. Shannon and I played it by ourselves again today.
I found a couple of interesting jobs in my search today, although not necessarily in Boston.
I had a dream last night that I went to see Tony Hepburn and he disapproved of all of my artwork. It was horrible.

A Few Fun Outdoor Games For Friends and Family
There are many activities and games that you could play with the family and buddies outdoors. A great way not just to have some fun and revel in your time and effort spent with family and buddies but it's also wise to obtain a good workout and far needed exercise for everybody involved. Listed here are a couple of exciting and fun games that everybody can enjoy and become associated with.
Blanket Volleyball:
This can be a quite simple game that needs coordinated working together and strategy. You will need to look for a volleyball internet, badminton internet, or some type of internet hitting the ball over. Additionally, you will need two fairly big sheets, queen or king-size perform best for additional players. Additionally, you will require a inflate beach ball, the larger the better!
First you have to setup two teams, usually by having an equal quantity of players, but do what you could. Have each team member grab one portion of the blanket so the blanket is open and able to get the beach ball. Put the beach ball on view blanket and together, lift the blanket up abruptly simultaneously for everyone and push the shore ball within the internet. The item obviously would be to put the ball in which the other team cannot reach it. Whether it hits the floor, then your point would go to your team. Around the receiving finish, you need to slowly move the blanket to make certain the ball doesn't hit the floor. They who earns the purpose will get for everyone and also the first team to attain 15 points is asserted the champion.

And Then There Were...
We lost Baby C, our singleton, last week. An ultrasound showed the heart had stopped.
The twins look good and we are grateful for them. Inside the sadness and grief is hope and optimism. Hope that the other two will continue on a healthy journey, and optimism about the improved prognosis for them and me.

So sorry about any baby c. glad to see the twins are ok. How are you feeling?ReplyDelete
I'm sure that is a tough thing. Good luck to you and your twins.ReplyDelete
Oh sweetie, I am so very sorry. I remember how I felt when I lost baby B....even today it is such a mixed blessing, I am so very in love with bebe girl....but I miss her twin. (they were not identical) Allow yourself to feel all of those mixed emotions without guilt.ReplyDelete
sending you a big hug and prayers for the twins.
Oh K honey, I'm so sorry for the loss of your little one. I know it must be heartbreaking. Sending lots of love and warm hugs.ReplyDelete

I am so sorry, I will be thinking of you.ReplyDelete
I am so, so sorry. Thinking of you, your sweet angel, Mr. W and your precious little twins. Sending hugs and love.ReplyDelete
I'm so sorry for your loss. Glad to hear that the twins are still doing well, though. Good luck!ReplyDelete
I'm so so sorry to read that news K, but glad that the twins are fine. Take care of yourself.ReplyDelete
I am so, so sorry. I can remember well that mix of sadness at the loss and relief at the health of the one(s) remaining. It is a weird time, for sure. Take care -- thinking of you!ReplyDelete
Oh sweet K, I am so so sorry. I hate this, for you and your darlin. I am so glad for your two. And so desperately sorry for your one.ReplyDelete
Sending love but wishing I could send magical healing powers
I'm sorry for your loss. I'm sorry that you have to go through this. This bittersweet time of grief and rejoicing over little lives is hard.ReplyDelete
We lost Baby B earlier this year (Baby A is perfect so far). Some things I've learned through the process: You're allowed to fully greive over Baby C. S/he was a real person with life and is your child. You're allowed to have relief over the multiple children situation possibly getting easier to handle. You're allowed to be overly joyful about your children that are still living. There will be people who won't understand why you are sad for such a "small" life. Try your best to ignore them. A child lost is a child lost no matter what age. And you can have all of these emotions all at once.
Again, I'm sorry for you and Mr. W.

Essar Power FY 2013 net loss at INR 512 crore
Press Trust of India reported that Essar Power net loss of INR 512 crore for the financial year ended March 31st 2013.
The company net profit of INR 335 crore in the financial year 2011 to 2012. The company recorded net revenues of INR 2,371 crore as compared to INR 1,378 crore in FY 2012.
There was a whopping 85 per cent increase in power generation from the company's thermal power plants at 9,061 million units against 4,926 million units in the same period last fiscal.
Mr KVB Reddy executive director of Essar Power said that "We commissioned both units of Salaya power plant (2×600 MW), received final forest clearance for Aries Mine development received forest clearance for Mahan, and also signed a few long term PPAs. However, slow pace of regulatory clearances for some captive mines and adverse impact of the Indonesian law on imported coal based projects such as Salaya is a concern."
Essar said that it will convert two gas fired plants with combined capacity of 1,015 MW to imported coal fired plants with 430 MW capacity to overcome gas availability and cost constraints. Ongoing high gas prices, with little prospect of this situation changing for the foreseeable future, has led to a review of our current gas fired generation portfolio. It is proposed to convert the Hazira 515 MW and Bhander 500 MW power stations to coal fired boilers based on imported coal.

I do greatly appreciate the effort it takes to comment! Not sure why they make it so hard… but it seems the joy of achieving it is working for you all. 🙂
Good news today! We have 9 little embryos in the freezer. We didn't get a quality report as it's quite early to freeze them, but they do as we aren't trying to select the best one for a fresh cycle. Apparently the embryos are more stable at 1 day, so we will take our gambles if/when we get to defrost them.
Tonight I have celebrated with the first wine in a while! I will update in a more sober and perhaps more Australia day manner tomorrow.

Power flushing
Our Power Flush Birmingham plumbers specialise in getting central heating systems functioning as efficiently as you possibly can. This helps home owners throughout Birmingham save significant amounts of money.
When allowed to remain un-maintained, central heating systems can become very inefficient and expensive to operate. Heating bills can increase, because the central heating system becomes clogged up due to the buildup of debris brought on by consistent use, this is where power flushing comes in.
Throughout Birmingham and surrounding areas there are many homes with central heating systems as well as badly functioning radiators that have grown to be very costly to operate. It is because almost nothing has been done to reduce problems caused by the buildup of gunge deposits inside the system itself.
The central heating system may become loud since it attempts to make amends for its own inneficient operation. The easiest way to take care of this is to have the system 'power flushed' by an expert using specific apparatus in order to properly cleanse the complete system.
You will find a number of benefits of power flushing a central heating system:
- Increases central heating efficiency
- Will reduce boiler disturbance
- Minimizes heating expenses
- Property gets hotter more quickly
- Helps to make radiators last longer
- Prolongs lifetime of boiler

One of the most fun things that I have started doing is mystery shopping. Sure, you are not able to mystery shop full time and become an instant millionaire, but it is definitely an easy way to earn some extra cash while doing the shopping that you were going to do anyway. The next few days, I will speak on some of the companies that I have been working with as well as how to join.
Ellis Partners in Management Solutions (EPMS), is one of the most respected marketing consulting services and also a provider of executive-level management. This company provides apartment mystery shopping services as well as resident surveys. They assist managers and apartment communities to survey their resident expectations and opinions as well as rate and review the physical look of the property and the performance of their leasing consultants. They also provide training and seminars to their customers to help enhance their overall performance.
I am an apartment mystery shopper with EPMS. When I sign in, I am able to see different assignments based on my geographic area. I am then able to pick up assignments (which are dependent on your skill level with them) and assist the customers with critique and an honest review. A majority of the properties that I have shopped are apartment communities where you have to shop a specific leasing agent and grade their performance. You are also expected to be very observant to rate the actual look of the property.
Yes, with this company you really do make money. It does take a little bit of time to complete the reports and do the shops properly and on average it can take between one to two hours to submit everything properly. BUT! If you are patient and thorough, it is definitely worth it. On average, you are paid $30 for each property visit, but depending on the time of the month or difficulty of the shop bonuses are added frequently. You are paid once a month on the 22nd of the month for all shops done prior to the 7th. For example, the last shop that I completed was on June 20th. The $30 owed to me will be direct deposited on July 22nd.
You can sign up through their website http://www.epmsonline.com then click on "Become a Shopper". You can also follow >> this link << directly to the sign up application page. They will only pay through direct deposit, so paypal is not allowed. Also, it is currently only available in the USA.
Remember, when signing up for a mystery shopping website, always do your own research! Just because it is on the internet doesn't mean it is real! Please leave your comments or feel free to email me if you need any assistance!

Curried Lentil Soup
I wanted to try this recipe for a while, but opted for some Ethiopian lentil recipes first. This was the perfect way to use what lentils I had left over and was a great recipe for yesterday's gloom and chill.
Oh, yeah… this was coming, too.
Thanks Ned!
I'll have the Ethiopian recipes up eventually, but here's the recipe for the curried lentil soup I made last night.
Curried Lentil Soup
from Bon Appetit Magazine, May 1998 (found on Epicurious.com)
- 2 TBSP olive oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 1 8-oz. russet potato, peeled, chopped
- 1 large carrot, peeled, chopped
- 2 tsp curry powder
- 1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
- 3 14 1/2-oz. cans low-salt chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 28-oz. can diced tomatoes in juice
- 2 c. lentils (about 12 ounces), rinsed, drained
After reading the recipe reviews, I decided to add a few more things to the soup. I added several cloves of pressed garlic (seen above), increased the cayenne to 1/2 tsp., and added 1/2 tsp each of tumeric and cumin. Since I was a little low on chicken broth, wanted an extra layer of flavor and had it on hand, I also added a can of coconut milk (pictured below).
Rest of the (mostly) step-by-step instructions behind the jump.
Heat oil in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Add onion, potato and carrot and sauté until vegetables begin to soften, about 5 minutes. I also added the garlic at this step.
Mix in spices (except for salt and pepper) and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add broth, tomatoes with juices, and lentils and bring to boil. I added the coconut milk at this stage, too.
Cover pot, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until lentils are very tender, about 45 minutes. Season soup to taste with salt and pepper.
Here's the finished product… a bit different from the golden-brown, milky liquid from earlier.
The scent of the simmering soup filed our apartment, a nearly intoxicating bouquet. I couldn't wait to take a bite!
The final product tasted as good at it smelled…spoonful after hearty spoonful. It was just a little spicy, but not intense.
While I used red lentils here, you may use other types of lentils. If you use reds and don't want your soup to dwell on the borderline of soup and stew, simmer for less time, about 30 minutes. As the instructions say, this soup can also be made up to 2 days ahead of time. If you do so, keep it refrigerated after it cools.
The winds have picked up around Chez Random Hapa, and we're prepared to batten down the hatches. More of the storm is yet to come. Those of y'all also in the path of Sandy, please stay safe! Sending warming, filling thoughts…
