Villas-Boas needs to find a Plan B
I was a huge advocate of appointing Andre Villas-Boas as Head Coach. I liked his Porto side, I like the fact that he made a career from analysing opposition tactics, and I like the fact that he's also a genuine coach – someone who wants to improve individual players and his team on the training pitch through very specific measures.
He was dealt a bad hand in his first season with King, Modric and Van der Vaart leaving, but he was lucky enough to have Bale (and he certainly got the best out of him). He achieved fifth place, which was at least one place better than I expected having lost such vital players. The fact that he achieved our highest Premier League points tally is often overlooked due to the failure to secure Champions League football having been well placed to do so.
There have been many positives under AVB, one of the biggest being a win at Old Trafford since 1989. Another being the defensive solidarity he has achieved, helped by his dignified handling of the Friedel/Lloris situation. And of course the considered way he stopped us consistently conceding late goals – through turning up the intensity late in training sessions to encourage concentration at the end of matches. That showcased his analytical side wonderfully.
There is also a lot to be said about the way he handles himself off the pitch. He speaks well, he is mostly deferential, and he is incredibly respectful of our fan base. His management of the Bale situation was perfect.
I am supportive of the way that Andre Villas-Boas is taking the club forward, but that does not mean that everything is rosy, and I do have concerns.
Lack of Plan B
Such is his belief in his philosophy, I sometimes feel that AVB can be inflexible. Generally he wants to play with a very high line which helps his team to win the ball high up the pitch. The intention is to control possession, which is a defensive tactic as well as it is an attacking one; it's more difficult for the opposition to score when they don't have the ball.
When teams arrive with the idea to soak up pressure and hit us on the counter, we often look unable to break them down – last season we often relied on a piece of Bale magic to do so, and this season we've struggled for goals from open play.
When things are not going our way, there is a lack of bravery in AVB's substitutions. He will generally wait until the 65-70 mark before making a change, often going like-for-like or, worse, bringing on Defoe for a midfielder; I always feel that it's strange to bring on a finisher when the team is struggling to create openings *to* finish. That's not to say he hasn't got substitutions right – his late changes against Cardiff worked wonders, the introduction of Huddlestone against Everton last season was a masterstroke, and his tactical flexibility in the 5-2 defeat at Arsenal earned him credit too. But these selections have not led to him being bolder, and I personally feel he must be.
Sometimes he needs to accept that his pre-match plans are not working, and to make a change. The way that Mourinho changed the game in Chelsea's favour at half-time – with Mata coming on for Mikel – showed us what a difference a bold move like that can make. Were it not for Torres being sent off, I think Chelsea would have gone on to win that game, and Mourinho would have been rightly lauded for admitting that he was wrong in not starting Mata, and introducing him when it came to the crunch.
The lack of a 'passer' as one of the '2' in our 4-2-3-1 is a fundamental flaw in our system. To me it seems so obvious that one of the reasons we struggle to break teams down and maintain a quick tempo is that we let the opposition regain shape too quickly as we don't move the ball quickly enough to our attacking '3'. Dembele and Paulinho between them just do not have the direct passing ability that we need from at least one of the players in that role, much like Parker and Dembele didn't last season.
Sending Carroll out on loan is a move that will hopefully benefit him and us in the long-term but, having sold Huddlestone, we have so few passing midfield players, that it might have been useful to have kept him around. Holtby playing as one of the deeper two is an option but, of course, you do give up a little of the solid defensive screen in making such a selection.
Set pieces
Whilst there is a misconception that AVB is a big user of statistics ("The mind and how the player feels is much more important for us, rather than statistical data."), he can't fail to have noticed that we struggle with set pieces at both ends of the pitch. There might have been a push on Vertonghen for West Ham's first goal a fortnight ago but, even ignoring that, Nolan wandered across the six-yard box untracked; that can't be happening in top-flight football. Chelsea also profited from our poor set piece defending and we've yet to score from a set piece ourselves this season despite having won 51 corners in the league and having had many free kicks in positions which appear to be dangerous. After Manchester City (8.00), we average the most corners per game (7.29), and concede the fewest (3.43) after City (2.43) and Chelsea (3.29) this season (stats from FootytStats).
Much like the focus on late goals being conceded last season, I'd love to see AVB try something in training to put this right. Hopefully they'll have worked on this during the international break, and we can see some results in today's game at Aston Villa.
When AVB was appointed, there was a statement of intent with regards to bringing young players through, Daniel Levy saying:
"Andre shares our long-term ambitions and ethos of developing players and nurturing young talent, and he will be able to do so now at a new world-class training centre."
Beyond the occasional game for Carroll/Kane/Fryers in the cup competitions, and the inclusion of 22-year old Townsend in the first team this season, there has not been a particular focus on young players being involved, despite there being a lot of talent bubbling under the surface. With Levy having been one of the fiercest advocates of increasing the substitute options from five to seven players, I'd expect to at least have a few young players on the bench for the Europa League games – if not just for the experience of being involved, but to potentially bring on when we're winning games easily.
The likes of Veljkovic and Bentaleb could have been given a taste of first team football to keep them interested and hungry; including them in squads and giving them 10 or 15 minutes exposure here or there could work wonders and offer an incentive to other young players. Not using and then selling the talented Massimo Luongo baffled me too – I can't help but think we'll live to regret that to some extent, and I just hope we have a sell-on percentage agreed.
He doesn't stick around long
When linked with Paris St-Germain in the summer, Villas-Boas said:
"With Nasser [Al-Khelaifi, the PSG president], we have respect for each other. That PSG approached me was released [to the media] but I wanted to stay a second year in Tottenham, building on the work of last season, making two consecutive seasons in the same club for the first time in my career. I wanted to continue the project here."
He doesn't stay at clubs long (or at least hasn't so far), so as much as we might see AVB's Spurs as a long-term project, it might not be the most ludicrous assumption that he almost certainly doesn't see us as the same. Let's enjoy it while it lasts.
Reasons to be cheerful
AVB has mostly been a good appointment and he is a respected and affable person to have at the helm. The team he surrounds himself with seem well liked and respected internally, and most of the noises coming from Hotspur Way appear to be positive ones.
This season he needs to achieve something, though. The squad is now very much *his* squad (or at least his and Baldini's), and to be argued to be a success, he needs to deliver a trophy and/or a top 4 finish.
I think it was AVB's mistakes that cost us 4th last year and I fear that he is repeating the same mistakes so far this year. For example I believe he is selecting too many key players for the Europa league which seems designed to ensure that 'upstart teams' are too tired to tackle the status quo CL teams. The young players you mention should be getting starts in the EL. And then there is falling out with key players while persisting with others. Parker playing in just about every game last season after Sandro's injury when Huddlestone and Livermore were often better alternatives cost us dear. And even more so playing Naughton not Benny, and now loaning Benny to QPR – INSANE. Whatever the truth with Ade we need him fit and playing. JD has never worked on his own upfront and I fear the same may be true of Soldado, he certainly isn't working with the lack of cut back crosses and the high balls. As I know you have said before with wide players who tuck or cut in the full backs are needed for crosses so the loss of Rose who started the season really well is costly. Personally I prefer wingers mainly played on the 'normal' side to encourage them to go wide rather than cut in. Oh and we need Sandro playing from the start. And I think as you say AVB fails to change his tactics when they aren't working in matches, I totally agree with your comment about Mourinho. I find that despite us having what I believe to be the best squad in a long time I am very depressed and negative about our prospects and that is down to AVB. Oh and while I wasn't delighted by his appointment I had a pretty open mind – I'd have preferred Laudrup tho'. I always say that there are times when I want to be wrong and I hope I'm wrong about AVB.
What a great insight from Windy and the blog above i agree with most of whats said. But my biggest fear is our high line pushes opponents back into there half and slow build up leaves no space for our Winger or wingers to attack. The worse offender is Dembele he gets the ball runs 20 yards at speed stops waits for chasing midfielders. He then when he looks up to pass they are all marked. When we sold Hudds i was sick aged 26 -27 this December he was at is peak and my only concern was is ankle well its still holding up and hes spraying the ball allover the pitch. I thought Erickson or Holtby would provide plan B when the long accurate passes ad been sold but we make to many dead passes sometimes playing keep ball in our half getting isolated and then give the ball away. Just like Naughton did at Carrdiff When we Purchased Soldado we should played both to see if they strike up a partnership like Liverpools SaS. Now we cnat experiment because if we get beat we start we drift away from the top four. We are already in a bad place with 100 million pounds of talent but still trying to find the best 11 ten games in.Lets hope they get used to the manic pressing in the premiership and show us there You Tube Form . Coys
This piece was a lijceaekft that saved me from drowning.
Have to say I don't really agree with everyone's concerns about AVB… If he's up to the job is a different matter, but I don't think you can question his knowledge of tactics and styles… Last year I think we played something like 5 different formations through the season… He also changed things far more than Harry would have done,.. He was 4411 or 442 all the way… AVB has changed formations and subs to make a difference a number of times… What about the Man City game… Won us the game, no question… What about the subs against Cardiff a few games ago which we won? Ok, I thought the subs were too late and we won by a single goal deep in injury time… But we still won and it was Holtby & Lamella who'd just been brought on who created it… Fans have very short (& selective) memories to suit their agenda… If we are do tactically poor, before the West Ham game (which I admit was awful) how had we only conceded a single goal and only lost 1 game (by 1 goal)… Before the west ham game I was really happy with how we were doing seeing as we had so many new faces, we'd only get better.. Think that is still the case…
Completely agree, my friend. Fans are a fickle bunch, on the most part, which is usually down to a lack of knowledge on just how football works.
For example – one minute they are slagging Levy off for the way he has ran the club, next minute they are kissing his backside for his astute business acumen!
New squads with 9 new players (inc Rose and Townsend)should UNDERSTANDABLY (I think) take time to settle.
But because we have enjoyed a reasonably good start to the campaign, I believe SOME people think the side has already gelled (completely).
There is much work to be done before we will see the FULL potential of this amazing group of players we have assembled.
Good article! However, to cut a long story short, AVB has PROVED in the past that he IS flexible, open to change and willing to adapt, and I have NO doubt that he WILL continue to do so!
At 35/36 years old Villas-Boas is still relatively inexperienced as a manager, and, as a result, is still learning very much on the job. What he needs is supporters who SUPPORT and believe in his potential to take this club to another level and don't question him at the first sign of adversity.
This is the first REAL season where he has been able to build a team in his own image and therefore he deserves the opportunity to develop the squad over the period of a few seasons (at least)
Whether he is the perfect manager I suppose is up for debate, but what manager is?
MOST managers seem to buy into this unwritten law that tactical substitutions shouldn't be made until the 2nd half of a game, but that DOESN'T mean he doesn't tinker with the gameplan/ players positions during the course of the match (i.e. 1st half)
The team/squad like is new/young,talented and full of potential- just like AVB himself.They will NEED time, patience and encouragement if they are to develop/evolve as we ALL would like. MANY of you would do well to remember that!!!
The season has JUST started, and barring the West Ham display the team has played well WITHOUT probably getting as many goals as we arguably have deserved.
Including Rose and Townsend, the club have introduced NINE new players into the squad. Considering that I think we have done REMARKABLY well to find ourselves in a healthy league position, and progressing well in the cup comps.
Spot on article.
Huge fan of AVB, but he is definitely too rigid at times w/ his tactics especially when they're not working
It seems that these games at the Lane vs the lesser clubs, AVB could switch it up to more of a natural 4-4-2 and bury the box with balls. Use Lennon and Townsend on their natural sides, roll w/ Soldado / Ade up front and let Sandro handle the clean up duties (like yesterday vs AV). Of course, a few big names wouldn't be involved, but there are plenty of fixtures to involve every one and keep things fresh.
In the end, reacting to your opposition's tactics vs forcing your tactics to work makes much sense .
Lets see if that Plan B materializes.
Hey, Windy.
Does the Villa game change your opinion on any of these points?
Admittedly didn't need a plan B in this game because we did manage to scrape a goal against an 11-man defence.
But I thought the initial selection showed a good response to at least one of the recent issues with the team.
Switching Vertonghen to left-back isn't ideal, but it does solve the problem of Naughton's inability to use his left foot/ overlap/ cross on the run.
That extra width gives the midfield & centre-backs more options, and the impact on the team's shape outweighs what we lose from Vertonghen not playing in his strongest position.
More of the same vs Hull, I expect. We'll need a piece of brilliance or a lucky break to get the first goal, after which things will get a lot easier. This is why being able to score from set pieces would really be very useful… watching our corners vs Villa, there didn't seem a problem with delivery (all beat the first man), but we didn't connect with any of them.
Overall I like AVB. I want to like him and I wanted him to start something, i expected a slow start, and while last season felt a slow start we topped the seasons' before points tally, a lot of people will point out we didnt qualify for CL but if you take more points from the same number of games you have to see it as improvement.
Specifics-wise, I think he has shown adaptability in parts, 433 didnt work early on with who we had and a 442 was adopted, reworked and rephased slowly back towards the 433/4231 depending. And substitutions have, i feel, generally been the right ones, just a little too late for my own taste. We can each name completely bewildering moves, as often as we can point to outright inspired ones, but these are both the exceptions and generally it's not a matter of who i would bring on/off as to when that the difference is.
I like that he wanted a specific structure for the club including Director of Football, I like that he shares the same vision as Daniel Levy seems to and by adding Baldini there now feels a united push towards something sustainable, the background making the foreground stronger, and in turn making the background stronger and so on.
What I don't like is the feeling that we stutteringly have accepted that 1-0 isn't enough to win a premiership match, pick up one goal and sit on it. We talk about the killing second goal, which by my mind we have only started to go for in recent matches, but in all honesty I don't think 2 goals has been a big enough lead to win a match for some time, not least for a spurs team, i've seen a 3-0 lead become a 5-3 defeat once too often and quite frankly, i'd rather see us defend in their penalty box than in our half. Once this sit on a lead thing passes, and i do believe it will, and we have 90 minute pressure games I will be satisfied, I don't think that is in AVB's make up, i think at some point he needs a goal difference to say right, my instincts tell me to sit on this lead for the end of the match, we'll take off a striker and put on a defensive midfielder.
Personally I vote this point to be signified by a 5 goal lead, but, yeah…

New 'You Are' Video Takes Fans Behind the Scenes With Lionel Richie, Blake Shelton
If you've ever visited Blake Shelton's official Twitter account, you know just how funny the 'Hillbilly Bone' country superstar can be. Although Lionel Richie was aware of the singer's reputation, the music legend admits he was surprised at Shelton's knack for telling a good joke as they were recording 'You Are' for Richie's country duets project, 'Tuskegee.'
"I didn't realize how funny Blake is!" Richie tells The Boot. The newly-released clip gives fans an exclusive look into the recording process of the remake of the 1984 Top 5 pop classic. All parties involved — including famed Nashville producer Tony Brown — seem to be having a blast working with Shelton and Richie.
Shelton is one of 13 country music stars–including Tim McGraw, Jason Aldean, Jennifer Nettles, Shania Twain, Kenny Rogers, Jimmy Buffett and more–who teamed up with Richie to remake his classic songs into country music duets. 'Tuskegee' has been sitting near the top of the charts since its release, and reached Platinum status last week.
'Tuskegee' has spent four weeks at the top spot on Billboard's Top Country Albums chart, and it spent three weeks on top of the Billboard all-genre 200. Richie joins Ray Charles as the second musician in history to have No. 1 albums on both the Billboard Country Albums and R&B/Hip-Hop Albums charts.

Sure, it came against an Oakland defense that is one of the worst in the NFL, but Joe Flacco and the Baltimore offense needed this confidence-booster heading into Pittsburgh. After throwing for 341 yards and three touchdowns in a 55-20 victory over the Oakland Raiders, Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco sat on the floor of the media conference room at M&T Bank Stadium with his back against the wall. He wore a black Ravens hat pulled down over his eyes. His long legs were stretched out and his head was cocked slightly toward the floor or maybe his white tube socks. Nothing about his body language suggested that the Ravens had just scored the most points in a single game in franchise history. But once Ravens coach John Harbaugh finished answering questions about his team's most complete performance of the season, Flacco, who was replaced by Tyrod Taylor for mop-up duty, sprung to his feet and took his turn at the podium. It was the most action he had seen in nearly an hour. But before exiting the game, Flacco led the Ravens on eight scoring drives as the offense picked up 22 first downs and 45 points on their first 11 possessions. He connected with tight ends Dennis Pitta and Ed Dickson over the middle and up the seams. He dropped two 47-yard bombs to Torrey Smith and Jacoby Jones. He kept Anquan Boldin and Tandon Doss involved, too. And he flung four completions to Ray Rice, who scored a touchdown Sunday but otherwise didn't find much running room. The Ravens converted just five of their 12 third-down plays, but Flacco moved the chains when it counted early in the game. Of course, it comes with the caveat that the Ravens did it at home, where they are now averaging 36.8 points, against a Raiders defense that has allowed 97 points in the past two weeks. Since I can usually find less trivial things to talk about, I try to stay out of the debate about whether Flacco is an elite quarterback. But the cold, hard facts argue that he is among the league's finest quarterbacks at his home stadium. In his five home games this season -- all Ravens wins -- Flacco has completed 65.3 percent of his attempts for 1,612 yards, 10 touchdowns and just three interceptions. He is averaging 9.3 yards per attempt. And his 107.4 passer rating at home is among the NFL's five best. Maybe he really loves marching bands? But as we know, Flacco has not been able to replicate that success away from the friendly confines of M&T Bank Stadium, as the Ravens are averaging 17.5 points per game on the road. "I have no reason for it," said Smith, who caught two of Flacco's 33 attempts Sunday for 67 yards and two touchdowns. "You can't say crowd noise because sometimes the other team's places are quiet. You can't say it's game-planning because we're running the exact same plays. For whatever reason, we're just not getting it done. I have no clue. ... It's like night and day almost. It's weird, but we'll get it right." As expected, Flacco stoically downplayed questions about whether this blowout win will give them a confidence boost when they needed it most, with the Ravens traveling to Heinz Field in Pittsburgh this weekend for the first of two games in three weeks against the rival Steelers. "Eh, I don't know," Flacco said -- which is his equivalent of Ray Lewis saying "that's the bottom line" 52 times at "the end of the day." But even after an offensive outburst like this, there will be plenty of questions this week about Flacco's and the offense's ability to produce on the road. They will keep shrugging off the questions because they are still searching for answers. If the Ravens want to win the division, they need to find them soon.

Last but clearly not least in our hair talk on face shapes we have the inverted triangle.(Hooray!!) Inverted is just a fancy way of saying "upside down" or "flipped". Knowing that you can clearly see (thanks to Polish beauty Anja Rubik) that an inverted triangle face shape is wider at the forehead than it is at the jaw. Most of my clients with an inverted triangle face shape ask me to make their forehead appear less wide. That's pretty easy to do, but you also want to avoid making the face look longer and more narrow when doing so. Here are some helpful hints from me to you:
- Half ups: I love half updos for girls with inverted triangle face shapes. A half updo can narrow the forehead + widen the look of your cheekbones + jawline. Gotta love a good illusion! I think the key with Anja's look on the bottom left is that the hair is wavy and that she has a center part. I like that the "baby hairs" just above her temples are not pulled back into the braids– they're down and it's just enough to help diffuse the width of her forehead.
- Bangs: Almost every single girl I know with an inverted triangle face shape loooooves having bangs and will never give them up. Obviously if you want to embrace the forehead you've got and not have bangs– do it, girl! On the other hand, if you want the option to show a wider forehead sometimes and narrow the appearance of your forehead other times, you'll need some sort of bang. Avoid a heavy straight-across bang only because it could potentially make your face even more triangular. I would recommend something similar to Alexa's long bangs, Brigitte's "curtain bangs" which are essentially short and long bangs combined, or this heavy side swoop bang. I would even say you could get away with a half-moon bang in this post as long as it's got some soft roundness to it and it's not just a blunt, straight across, heavy bang.
- Center parting: The key to center parting on an inverted triangle face shape is not letting it lengthen you. You don't want your bangs or layers to be styled "down", you want them to be styled "out" once they pass your eyes/eyebrows. You want that hair from the center part to then lead into some sort of layers near your cheekbones. I always tell my clients "style your bangs in the direction of your ears."
- Wavy bob + bangs: This is one of my favorite haircuts for the inverted triangle face shape. Also one of the most flattering, softening, balancing cuts for this face shape. The reason is, you can typically get great texture and layers in a bob or long bob. The side bang leads into layers which do exactly what is mentioned above– widens the cheekbone/jawline and diffuses the width of the forehead. Everything just looks in perfect proportion. LOVE.
- Diagonal side part: This is a great trick. See how Anja's hair is parted diagonally in the bottom right photo? If all that hair was pulled to one side it would likely make the forehead appear wider. Use a tailcomb or a pencil if you don't have a tailcomb, and start slightly off center, working your way over to a deep side part. That way there's hair on both sides but it still appears that you're wearing a heavy side part.
- Super straight hair with minimal layers: That would be the one style I would suggest girls with inverted triangle face shapes should avoid. All that's going to do is make your face appear longer and more narrow. You want layers, especially around the face.
- Updos + Chignons: You can do almost any updo, chignon or pony when you have an inverted triangle face shape. Also, leaving out a few soft pieces around the face will help balance out your triangle. I find that a center or off-center part is most flattering but not mandatory. I mean, clearly the updo in the top photo from the Louis Vuitton show is GORGE– a messy french twist with lots of texture and a thin headband! Obsessed.
Do you have an inverted triangle face shape? If so we would love you to share your thoughts, tips and your own tricks below! Thank you for being so patient in waiting for each of your face shapes! Hope this series has helped you guys understand more about how to wear your hair and what to talk to your hair stylist about. xo

Dave's Rating:
Hollywood's hottest pairing of 1987
There isn't enough Clairol For Men in the world to hide the fact that Sylvester Stallone is well past the point in life where he could beat the hell out of a gnarly prison bruiser, much less several at once in a mano a mano throwdown. But this is movie-star prison, where an older actor can go to flex his testosterone and not be questioned too scrupulously about it. As such, Stallone is just as good a choice as any to outrun, out-punch and out-grunt everyone who gets in his way as he tries to break from the world's most impossible superprison. His cellblock pal, Arnold Schwarzenegger, tries to help by shouting in German to create diversions. This works, actually.
Stallone is Ray Breslin, the world's greatest lockdown Houdini, a man whose job it is to detect flaws in prison security systems (we learn that he literally wrote the book on the subject) by going in undercover and then breaking out. But when he finds himself deceived by shady people above him and tossed into a top-secret, ultra-sophisticated facility called "The Tomb," he has to find his way out. But will he?
Derrrrr, of course, and beside the point, especially when the film lives squarely in the land of the exceptionally implausible and features nutty action stunts do-able by nobody ever, waterboarding, Bible-burning, anaesthetic-free surgery, Jim Caviezel as the fastidious, sadistic, classical-music-loving, butterfly-collecting warden, 50 Cent repeating "motherf@#%*&" like he's being paid by the word and Schwarzenegger having a much better time here than in pretty much every other film he's made since returning to film work. He's either chosen to or been forbidden from winking too hard at the camera when he tells another inmate, "Your mother was my favorite whore in Marrakesh!" We've all been granted a stay of execution by insufferable mugging.
That's a consideration going in, no lie. After the broken promises of two Expendables movies, the fear is, naturally, that this project would be just another way to stunt-cast these guys in their own genre, an exercise in desperation no less embarrassing than the most sadly alien-looking cosmetic surgery. But the pair play it straight from start to finish. And if the stern, humorless world they inhabit, one that fails to deliver much in the way of surprise or excitement, never rises to the heights of classic 80s bombast and bravado, it's not really their fault. They work with what they've been given, and what they've been given is the ability to glower like few others in film. They're never going to turn up in a Judi Dench movie about the love travails of pensioners -- and if I'm wrong and they do then I want them to play an aging same-sex couple -- and they're still far more interesting to watch doing this sort of thing than Vin Diesel. You could ask for more and better, but what you get here is plenty for the half-amount of attention it requires.

Liz's "Manolo Blue" Room
Like this entry? Favorite it below!
- Name:
- Liz
- Location:
- Waukee, IA
- Division:
- Light
- Inspiration for my palette:
- I was inspired by a shoe! Specifically the Manolo Blahnik "Something Blue" satin pump. I was instantly in love with the intense and gorgeous color and deemed my office accents "Manolo blue".
- Colors used in my room:
- Cobalt blue, light grey, white.
- Tips for using color successfully:
- Paint chips are my best friend! I grab a swatch of every color I plan to use in a room's palette - even if I'm not going to be using it as a paint color. As we finish our basement, I've collected chips of our wall and trim colors, but also the color of our leather couch, and the accent colors I want to use. I lay all the chips out on a table and overlap them to show how much of each will show proportionally in the room (i.e. a little of the hot pink shows to represent an accent pillow, but a lot of the neutral grey - walls) to be sure I"m going to love the final color scheme before I begin.
- Palette:
- Manolo Blue

New Woman, New Consumer
Gordon Conway
Chic, talented, and well-educated, Gordon Conway arrived on the New York publishing scene when a dinner party companion introduced her to the art director for Condé Nast's magazines. Only twenty years old, the Dallas-born Conway soon found herself regularly drawing cover illustrations and caricatures for Vanity Fair and Vogue. Her twenty-two-year career as a graphic artist and costume designer embodied the "new woman" that she was hired to represent in images.
Vanity Fair and Vogue
Condé Nast purchased these magazines earlier in the century with a mind to remaking the image of the "new woman," long viewed as an unattractive, politically radical social misfit. Nast believed that women "could better their lot by acquiring buying power," an idea that nineteenth-century feminists had promoted. Considering himself a feminist, he believed women were capable of entering into any field and saw his magazines as offering cultural support for their growth as self-sufficient, confident, and charming people.
The products in his magazine were targeted at this "new woman" audience—women who felt they needed modern clothing and cosmetics to express their independence and freedom of thought and action. Conway's dynamic images of the "new woman" conveyed these women's desires, tastes, and activities. Her flappers wear bright, gauzy dresses and dance with abandon to jazz music. Her cosmopolitan socialites wear furs and ride in elegant automobiles; her sportswomen swim in short bathing suits and smoke in public. Her career girls wear smart suits. Nast geared his magazine toward the "new woman" and her needs both out of his sympathy for women and his business acumen. Early on, he instinctively knew that modern women would represent a huge consumer market, and, in part, he built his publishing empire on that instinct.

Innocent until proven guilty does not apply from my perspective in cases of rape. Himiko is not giving any impression as we haven't seen her side of what happened afterwards. The language being used is not in favor of her being the caller. If she was the caller, someone (the police) would have told the friends by the time the trial happened. The anger that the friends had is suggesting otherwise. So i'll still think that she wasn't the caller. It could be that she was too scared etc. We can agree to disagree since you guys didn't think of this scenario.
There are prob a few girls who would do stuff like this for money. The world is not a nice place.
Just like.. there were more than a few people who jumped at a chance to be given 100,000 yen to see their worst enemies disappear.

Man they sure did a good job of making Himiko looks utterly lost and helpless throughout this episode ultimately dependent on the kindness of strangers for survival. Come to think of it it's been one tough break for her after another pretty much since she was first introduced kind of making her this shows official emotional punching bag character up to now.

I'm just slightly disturbed that there are actual people who seem to think that Himiko deserved what she got because she had the gall to not get raped with the rest of them.
Seriously, that's what you're saying when you say "she shouldn't have run away". Because not running away brings us the logical result.
Saying it's her fault for getting them into that situation is even worse. Are you implying she did it on purpose?? That she knew what was gonna happen?

Now Himiko only needed to get to a safe area and then call. That was the point I was making since there was a gang rape in progress with the girl actually being conscious which made the situation worse.

"Innocent until proven guilty" is never true, even in court. A defendant can given a "not guilty" verdict, but that is not the same as being innocent. "Not guilty" means the defendant is not directly responsible for whatever specific charges they are being tried for. "Innocent" means the defendant has no knowledge, awareness, involvement, or relation to the case whatsoever.
"Not guilty until proven innocent" is merely the the scientific/statistical model of null hypothesis testing in a court of law, where your objective is to find evidence to disprove that a certain event happened by chance and are unaffected by the variables you are testing (aka, the "null hypothesis").
In Himiko's case, I don't think there's enough evidence to prove or disprove that she abandoned her friends or was directly responsible for them getting raped. However, I really don't think objective evidence matters in this case: if Himiko's friends are angry enough to want to blame her, they can condemn her to this island without having to be rational.

Let's not forget that Himiko introduced those guys that gangraped her friends... definitely she could have done more, but it's understandable that she couldn't when ones about it rationally, which definitely won't be the case for girls who were raped by three guys each, while expecting a romantic date with celebrities. For all four (including Himiko), independent of circumstances, IMHO, they should have known better, but I think we have beaten that subject to death with AnoHana and Penguin already
Anyway, WTF were those mutant lizards... alligators and crocodiles were to banal for this setting

Seriously I'm not sure what to think of the lengths you go to convince people that she deserved it. Even going so far as to call it a setup?

I'm not sure where you're getting the opinion that we think she deserves to get sent to the island. SHE herself thinks that, because on some level she believes it's her fault. We just keep pointing that out.

1st point: Yes, I agree. You can't blame Himiko for being afraid, right? It happens to everyone. Those girls are inconsiderate, especially Miho, banishing her friend for that reason. That girl is lucky to be saved by the Police before she got drugged and such; hell, even if she got raped, at least she lived to see the day rather than being turned into sex slaves. See what I mean!
And yet, those girls have the nerve to banish her just like that! What kind of friends are they?
That is the worst kind of people out there!!! Who do you think those girls are? Do they have such right to condemned her for what she hasn't done. Girl, she's also a victim just like you. I'd say it's also Mihos' fault for not knowing the kind of guy he admired. That guys' face is full of ill intentions.
The girls got raped but their lives were spared but banishing Himiko and gets big wad of cash in exchange: I'd say "Go to HELLLL you bitches!!!" How dare you call yourselves her friends!!!!

That only proves that the girls are clearly retarded and possibly insane or at the very least deserve zero respect whatsoever. They should be the ones on that island.
Either that, or they were jealous of her hotness and popularity to begin with and this was just a trigger to finally get rid of her. Ooh, look I just made the thing go full circle.

I think the girls' reaction in sending Himeko to the island is understandable, albeit irrational. Even if Himeko did everything she could to save them, which is still unclear at this point, it is only natural for them to feel angry at her. She was the one who brought them to meet with the guys, and they wouldn't have become victims of sexual assault but for that. It is also arguable that she should have been more careful about introducing her friends to guys that she wasn't too familiar with.
Whether or not the girls were right in what they did and whether Himeko deserved to be sent to the island are different issues altogether, but I do't see their actions as being unbelievable.
Aside from that, there is no evidence in the anime or manga that jealousy over Himeko's looks and/or popularity played a part in it.

How about anger? Is it that hard to imagine that, you know, they wouldn't be angry at what happened to them? Seriously, they've lost their innocence, their reputations are shot... those by themselves should be ample reason enough to feel vindictive. Also, I honestly think that nothing Himeko can say will convince them at this point.
And yes, this argument is getting circular. Let. It. Freaking. Go. Already.

Ah, hello my distant friend. How long it has been since my typing has graced your "new post" screen? Too long. Too long.
I've done very little lately in the crafting world. Instead I've been slowly cleaning out my place and preparing for the move. Less than three months now!
To keep myself sane I've been going to yoga. Every single yoga class that my gym offers actually (which is only 5). I've been researching on where to go and earn my own certification so I may someday teach yoga. Aaaah yoga. I know there's all kinds of scandals lately, but my yoga practice is very personal and soothing, so I don't care what else is going on because in those moments I'm centered on myself and my body. It's wonderful!
Right, so long story short I needed a carrier for my yoga mat. I was using the mats at the gym, but they are too short! Instead I've whipped up a quick and simple yoga mat strap. My only problem? I needed bigger buttons!
Here's the pattern:
(Depending on the length of your yoga mat you may want to make each piece longer or shorter)
Ch 70
Turn. dc down the length
ch 3 turn, triple crochet down the length
ch 2 turn, dc down the length
ch 1 turn. sc 6 - repeat until barely long enough to wrap around your tightly rolled mat
ch 1 turn, sc 2, ch 2, sc 2
ch 1 turn, sc 6
ch 1 turn, sc 2, ch 2, sc 2
ch 1 turn, sc 6
ch 1 turn, sc 2, ch 2, sc 2
ch 1 turn, sc 6
tie off
Move to other end and repeat between the ellipses making sure both straps are the same length.
Sew on two medium to large buttons (mine are too small and almost slip out of the hole) one on each end at about the middle of the 3rd triple crochet. The slots in the strap should overlap and the button should line up! Taadaa!
Wasn't that just SOOOOO hard?

Few things are as enjoyable for parents and grandparents as watching their children and grandchildren play. As cherished as such playtime can be, it can quickly turn into a memory adults and children alike would prefer to forget if an injury occurs.
Playground accidents vary in severity. Some produce just a scrape or a scratch, while more drastic accidents can lead to broken bones or even death. And where those accidents occur might come as a surprise to parents.
Ten years ago, a study conducted by the Consumer Product Safety Commission discovered more deaths occurred on backyard playground equipment than on public playgrounds. A 2009 study from the CPSC found that 40 deaths were associated with playground equipment between 2001 to 2008, the majority of which were the result of hangings or asphyxiations.
Naturally, parents aware of such statistics are concerned, particularly those who want to erect a playground for their children on their own property. When building a home playground for children, parents should consider the following factors.
Location, location!
A home playground's location is very important. When deciding where to put a playground, consider its accessibility. Is the playground easily reached should an accident occur? Can children be seen playing from a nearby window? Should an accident occur, is the playground within earshot of the home? Kids often play on a home playground while their parents are inside, so be sure to locate the playground close enough to the home where you can see and hear your kids from the house, and in a spot that's easy to get to should an accident occur.
Though most parents would love to build their children a home playground that rivals the nearby amusement park, some equipment has historically proven to be more dangerous than others. A 2009 report from the CPSC indicated that climbers were associated with 23 percent of all playground injuries while swings were associated with 22 percent. When installing equipment, be sure everything is installed in strict adherence to the manufacturer's instructions.
According to the CPSC, 67 percent of playground accidents between 2001 and 2008 involved falls or equipment failure. Most kids are going to fall once or twice when playing on the playground.
Parents can plan for such falls and minimize their child's injury risk by installing impact-absorbing surfaces beneath the playground. Such surfaces are the standard at many public playgrounds and can make the difference between a simple fall or one that results in broken bones or a trip to the emergency room.
Kids often like to play rough, and as a result playgrounds commonly take quite a beating. Even if equipment was sturdy at installation and was installed to the letter of the manufacturer's instructions, parents should routinely inspect equipment to ensure it's holding up to the wear and tear of children. Ask kids to let you know immediately if anything feels loose or isn't working properly.

Yes, maybe by working a whole lot to it and using an undescribable amount of tricks and effects, probably I would have come to a decent result too.
But if a signature needs a lifespan - or alike - to be made, I'd rather make 200 avatars in that same time, ande eventually make more people happy. I don't spend more than an hour even for works I'm going to use ... dakara ^^

@ Pelly
Yeah it would probably take 2 to 3 hours of trial end error to get it right.. ^^
I personally don't mind things like this.. as long as I don't get bored it can even take a frikin' week.. ^__^
But wow Pelly 200 avys/day.. impressive..
My personal record is only 106/day.. all of them from Ep1 of Mai Otome.. back then I got a hold of a dvd edition and couldn't help myself ripping it apart.. heh.. they were also my first so I didn't have really a perspective on things when it come to creating them..
Well now if I wanted I could probably easily smash that record..
But I doubt the chance will come up.. I'd had to be really bored and start making avy's out of every scene in an ep for no logical reason..
Because I kind of turn a blind eye to whale-requests, there's no other occasion to brake it.. Whale-requests as in the ones that go along the lines: "Episode X, requesting animated avatars for timeframes <insert a ton of timeframes here>"….. Why ignore them?!.. because one, it's inconsiderate towards other peoples requests.. two, let's say they get done.. someone comes in wanting an avy from the ep and sees it there.. of course he/she can ask for it but even I would find it awkward in some situations.. for example lets say Cyz was the one requesting them (it doesn't sound fair to me to break someones hopes for someone else's greed)....... oh and three, there's no point in having so many.. I mean lets face it there's no practical way to use them.. how would you use so many avys from the same ep!?.. and if they're not going to use them then what?! stick'em on a wall
BTW this has been bothering me for a while.. Cyz why do you need so many.. I like to think I change my set a lil' too often and even I only used around 4 sets until now.. (counting this one)
No wait.. actually more importantly why do you change your avy so often.. it almost feels like you don't like any of 'em.. or at least that how it looks from my POV .. is that it? or are you just one of those pesky picky people

All I can say is LOL regarding cyz

I get bored after my 10th gif av ... and that just generic square shape av
But lately, most of animes used mkv or h264 format and I'm too lazy to set vdub to work with them =/

Uh oh, a fulfilled request :x
Spoiler for version without tween:
I said that in the time I would need for such a work as that of the Ayu-Nayu animated sign I prefer to make 200 avatars.. BUT.. certainly the time required to me is NOT 2-3 hours .... most likely 20-30 if you prefere
My daily record... wakarimasen ... I don't think over 35-40 though, and they're alredy too much. Making gif has to be fun and not work ^^
As for the number of avatars, you know, as Kanon gifmakers, I'm sure that when the Nayuki route's episodes will come, Theclow will make us both break our own records ... very likely we'll have to convert an episode from .avi to .gif and then upload it straight on torrent.

You guys like picking on me don't you? Meanies!!!! Lol! I take no offense though since what you guys said is truth anyway. As for why I request many? I only request many in terms of avatars -- can't do that in sigs (since sigs take forever to make than avies so I don't plan on tiring and frustrating the maker [and for the most part, that request was mostly ignored unlike the avies] -- so...yeah). Am I spoiled? Not too much I guess Oh! and I'm not picky either. The reason why I keep changing my avie is because I like all of them. It will be a shame not to be able to use them no? Also, this is not the only place I use those avies too (I also use them outside the boards -- with credits to the maker of course)

Obama: Energy diversification needed in Europe
BRUSSELS (AP) — President Barack Obama says the crisis in Ukraine points to the need for Europe to figure out how to diversify its energy sources.
Russia's energy sector could be the next target of economic sanctions by the U.S. and European countries should Russia escalate the situation in Ukraine. Many of the European countries that join the U.S. in opposing Russia's annexation of Crimea have been skittish about taking such a step because they are heavily dependent on Russia for their energy.
Obama says further sanctions will have different affects in some countries. He says the U.S. is committed to finding ways to accelerate the process of energy diversification across Europe.

Ohio Man Who Held 3 Women Captive Commits Suicide [VIDEO]
The Cleveland man serving a life sentence for holding three women captive in his home for a decade hanged himself in his prison cell, officials said Wednesday in another startling twist in the case that transfixed and appalled the city.
Ariel Castro, 53, was found hanging Tuesday night at the state prison in Orient, said JoEllen Smith, a spokeswoman for the corrections system. Prison medical staff performed CPR before Castro was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
"He took the coward's way out," said Elsie Cintron, a neighbor who lived up the street from the former school bus driver in Cleveland. "We're sad to hear that he's dead, but at the same time, we're happy he's gone, and now we know he can't ask for an appeal or try for one if he's acting like he's crazy."
There was no immediate comment from his three victims.
Castro was sentenced Aug. 1 to life in prison plus 1,000 years after pleading guilty to 937 counts, including kidnapping and rape, in a deal to avoid the death penalty. At his sentencing, he told the judge: "I'm not a monster. I'm sick."
Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Tim McGinty said in a statement Wednesday: "This man couldn't take, for even a month, a small portion of what he had dished out for more than a decade."
Castro had been in a cell by himself in protective custody because of his notoriety, meaning he was checked every 30 minutes, but was not on suicide watch, which entails constant supervision, Smith said.
An autopsy showed the death was suicide by hanging, said Dr. Jan Gorniak, Franklin County coroner. Gorniak would not comment on the circumstances in which Castro was found.
Castro's three captives — Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight — disappeared separately between 2002 and 2004, when they were 14, 16 and 20 years old. They were rescued from Castro's home on May 6 when Berry broke out part of a screen door and yelled to neighbors for help.
Elation over the women's rescue soon turned to shock as details emerged about their captivity. Castro fathered a child with Berry while she was being held. The girl was 6 when she was freed.
Investigators also disclosed that the women were bound with chains, repeatedly raped and deprived of food and bathroom facilities. Knight told authorities she was beaten and starved to force her to miscarry over and over.
On Castro's old street Wednesday, freshly planted landscaping was in bloom on the site where his house stood before it was demolished by the city a month ago. Satellite TV trucks returned to record the scene.
Castro's suicide "does give a little bit of closure to the families and people that got affected by what he did," resident Jessica Burchett said, "but at the same time he deserved to be in there for his life because of what he did to those girls."
No one answered the door at the home of Castro's mother and brother.
At the home of Berry's sister, a woman who didn't identify herself said from the porch that there would be no comment. An officer in a passing patrol car kept watch on the street.
Wearing their familiar red berets, members of the Guardian Angels volunteer patrol group stationed themselves outside DeJesus' home and said her family didn't want to be bothered as the community absorbed the news.
Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson said in a statement: "I ask the community to continue to respect the privacy of the survivors so that they can move forward with their lives."
Messages left for the women's lawyers were not immediately returned.
The prison where Castro hanged himself, a so-called reception center for newly arrived inmates, holds nearly twice as many prisoners as the 900 it was meant to hold, according to state data.
Stress is high and assaults are up at the prison, but Tim Shafer, an official with the prison guards' union, said: "Just like out in the public, suicides happen, and you just can't prevent every one of them."
Castro was watched closely in the Cuyahoga County Jail in the several weeks after his arrest and before his guilty plea, with logs noting his activity every 10 minutes. He was taken off the suicide watch in June after authorities determined he was not a suicide risk.
Castro's attorneys tried unsuccessfully to have a psychological examination of Castro done at the jail before he was turned over to state authorities following his guilty plea, his attorney, Jaye Schlachet, said Wednesday. Schlachet would not comment further.
In an interview last month, Schlachet and attorney Craig Weintraub said that their client clearly fit the profile of someone with sociopathic disorder and that they hoped researchers would study him for clues that could be used to stop other predators.

Alex's Fortress of Cute-itude
Name: Alex (2 weeks)
Location: USA
Color Inspiration: When we began the process of choosing a color scheme for our boy's room, we knew we didn't want to go traditional. We also knew we wanted to make the room fun and personal. To make it fun, my wife suggested orange. We're both huge fans of mid-century modern design and a nice earthy orange felt retro while still feeling masculine enough for a baby boy's room.
Color Inspiration continued: To make the room personal, we drew on my past. I have a twin brother and, even though we're fraternal twins, my parents initially had trouble telling us apart. So, my mom dressed my twin brother in blue (for his blue eyes) and me in brown (for my brown eyes). Since my wife and I love earth tones, we decided that brown would be a nice color to go with the orange.
Using blue on the walls was actually a last-minute decision. When you think boy's room, you typically think blue, so we didn't want to go that way because it's so traditional. But, with that big honkin' 10-foot mural being a centerpiece of the room, we needed a color that would make it pop. I played with different wall colors in Photoshop, but earth tones just weren't working. They just weren't fun. I grew up as a fan of Superman so I comped in the color of his suit. It totally worked! Sure, we ended up with a blue boy's room, but while the color choice sounds cliché, we feel the room is anything but.
Tip for Using Color: We have 2 tips for using color. The first: Less is more. While there's certainly a lot to stimulate the senses in our boy's nursery, when you're in the room it doesn't feel that way because all of the elements are treated in one of four colors: orange, brown, blue and white.
The second tip: Make it personal. So many people we know just flip through a blog or magazine, point at something, and say, "That's what I want." Thing is, that design is someone else's design. Consider asking yourself what you can do to make it your own. Not only will you end up with a more meaningful result, but you'll also have a great story to tell.
One example of making it personal is the mural that's the centerpiece of our nursery. While the buildings represent our love of architecture, every one of them references a place that's significant to us (where we're from, where I proposed, where we honeymooned, etc.). There are also personal references to my huge collection of tin toys (the giant robot), our pets (the flying cat), our love of art deco (The Chrysler Building), etc. There are parts of us in our son. Why not treat his room the same way?
Colors Used: Orange. Brown. Blue. White.
Thanks for your colorful entry Keith and good luck!

Brewpocalypse: Is it Safe to Drink Beer After A Nuclear Explosion?
Paranoid alcoholics all over the world have likely wondered, at one time or another, exactly how a Hiroshima-sized nuclear explosion would affect the beer supply in a post-apocalyptic civilization. We have, too.
Interestingly enough, in 1955 the U.S. government brushed upon the subject of booze after the bomb in Operation: Teapot; a study that used a series of nuclear tests to supposedly prove that in the event of a nuclear holocaust, canned and bottled beer would be safe for human consumption.
The report for Operation: Teapot contains a segment called Project 32.2a, appropriately titled ''The Effects of Nuclear Explosions on Commercially Packaged Beverages,' which states: "Packaged beverages, both beer and soft drinks, are so ubiquitous and already uniformly available in urban areas, it is obvious that they could serve as important sources of fluids."
Upon the conclusion of the research for Operation: Teapot, scientists from five "qualified laboratories" concluded that though the radioactivity slightly changed the flavor of bottled and canned beverages, nuclear beer was "well within the permissible limits for emergency use."
However, nearly 60 years later, modern science is in disagreement with the Teapot report, claiming that a nuclear disaster would render bottled and canned beer unfit to drink.
According to Reyco Henning, assistant professor of physics at the University of North Carolina, beer stored in aluminum cans and glass bottles is more likely to hold in radiation than pure water stored in plastic containers.
Henning says that if the big bomb drops, bottled water will be much safer for consumption than beer.
We like the '50s scientists way better. After all, if some wild-eyed renege of Geneva Protocol ever does happen, clear liquids will not change the outcome of the fallout. Beer, however, will keep us fighting.

Re: Twilight Movie ~Fan reactions
Posted: Wed Jan 28, 2009 10:13 am
You're welcome! Yeah, it's kinda driving me nuts, I've watched it a lot online and just saw it again in the theater with my friend yesterday and she said she thought he did. Maybe you're right and he is just supposed to want to say it, but not completely mouth it, we're just supposed to know that he wants to, ya know? *sigh* Someone get Rob on the board so we can ask him!shortstuff wrote:thanks, i got your PM!
ok so i watched it ( ended up watching the whole movie AGAIN... ) and then i backtracked and watched that part again..
it seemed to me that he didnt actually mouth the words 'i love you', but rather, opened his mouth as if there was more he wanted to say.. and then decided to just leave it at that. i think someone else explained it well.. that it was almost a tortured whisper.. like he really WANTED to say it, but couldnt bring himself to even go there..
i could be wrong, but thats how i saw it. and i think it kinda worked better that way.. there was still a lot of angst in that moment...

The state government has started work on development of a railway corridor through Choudwar to Rourkela to allow ease of inward and outward transportation of goods from the industrial hubs and mining belts along the region.
Land acquisition for the project, the first of its kind initiative by a state government, has already been initiated by the Industrial Infrastructure Development Corporation (Idco). The project would go on ground after the land acquisition and is targeted to be completed by 2015, said Idco CMD Priyabrata Patnaik on Friday.
The corridor involves development of extensive rail and road connectivity, along with provisioning of water supply and other infrastructural facilities. The corridor would encompass two track railway lines and six-lane road passing through the industrial hubs and the coal mining belts. New industrial areas and downstream units would be developed along the corridor.
Common infrastructure facilities under the corridor would solve the problems of inward and outward transportation of goods and minerals. The stretch would pass through the heart of coal mining operations in the state, which harbours about 65 billion tonne of reserves. The coal reserves in the Talcher belt only is around 43 billion tonne.
The corridor would cover 17 large and mega-industries, along with 57 other units, through the stretch from Choudwar to Rourkela. Traffic projection on the route is given out as 8.7 million tonne.
The route would have 163 km of railway track length and 465 km on road. As many as 308 minor bridges and 77 major bridges would have to be constructed on it, said Patnaik.
Note 1: The 163 km of railway track probably refers to the Talcher-Bimlagarh segment.
Note 2: Although the above report only mentions the Choudwar-Rourkela part, in earlier documents there is mention of Paradeep-Choudwar-Rourkela industrial corridor. See for example this 2009 Business Standard report. Following are some excerpts from that.
The Orissa government plans to develop an industrial corridor running from Paradeep to Rourkela through industrial hubs like Choudwar, Talcher and Sambalpur.
Though the initial proposal was to have an industrial corridor originating from Choudwar to Rourkela, the proposal was modified to extend the corridor till Paradeep to allow inward and outward transport of goods through the Paradeep port, sources said.
… The proposed industrial corridor will be in line with the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor and is designed to pass through national highway no.42 and national highway no 5 (A).
Under the project, both road and rail corridor will be developed, which will be the backbone of the proposed project. The industrial estates and down stream units would be developed over 25 km area on both sides of the corridor.
IL&FS has been appointed as the consultant for the project and it has already submitted the pre-feasibility study report to the industry department on the project. However, the detail cost of the project is yet to be worked out yet, sources added.
The latest initiative of the state government follows a similar initiative to develop a common 'rail-road-water pipeline and infrastructure corridor' in Meramundali-Angul-Talcher-Chhendipada belt, to facilitate movement of coal in the Talcher coalfield area.
The project is estimated to cost about Rs 5000 crore including Rs 2000 crore for 2-line rail corridor and Rs 1100 crore for 4 lane road alongside it. The land width of the proposed corridor will be 300 metre which includes 60 metre for road and 20 metre for water pipeline.
The total length of the corridor is 137 kilometre which includes length of 43 number of major bridges to be constructed on this stretch. RITES Ltd has already submitted a pre-feasibility report to the state owned Industrial Infrastructure Development Corporation of Orissa Ltd. (Idco) on the project.
The project is designed to have multi-point centralised loading stations conceived along the corridor rather than individual bulb connections with a view to avoid interference or wastage of coal bearing areas. Road and water pipe alignment will run parallel to rail alignment, sources said.
It will be connected to rail line at three locations- Jharpada, Angul and Budhapanka. The common corridor will have multiple entry and exit points and no surface crossing. Besides, flyovers are proposed to avoid cross movements at junction stations.
This 'rail-road-water pipeline and infrastructure corridor' in Meramundali-Angul-Talcher-Chhendipada belt is projected to handle 113 million tonne coal by 2014-15. It includes 55 million tonne coal movement required by the power companies, 40.76 million tonne by steel companies and 17.22 million tonne by other industries.
