Beginners Luck
Beginner's Luck
I suppose I'd better start (for those who don't know me!) by saying that I don't think I am capable of impartiality just yet, but it's good to strike while the iron's hot. So here goes.
The story opens with a bloke called Mark (played by James, BTW) becoming inspired to follow his dreams (well, that's got to be better than the 9 to 5 grind, hasn't it?) and setting up a theatre company. Easy! With no money, no experience and only the vision of a fantastic magical island to keep him going, he sets about gathering a cast and booking a theatre. Admittedly, it's just the downstairs of a strip club, and the cast have never acted before in their lives, but everyone has to start somewhere. The group of friends and actors take their show on the road in search of the critical acclaim, wealth and fame that must surely await them. Strangely enough, they discover it isn't that simple.
Retelling any more of the action would give away too much, but to echo the words of the marketing man, it has all the necessary elements of a twenty-something road movie: friends and fights, anarchy and magic, along with a good smattering of witty lines and the ubiquitous battered VW van.
James Callis devotees and connoisseurs will not be disappointed, as he is constantly on the screen, and the rest of the cast are also excellent, although I would have liked to have got to know the characters rather better than there was time for.
Filmed in approved Brit-movie style with silent-movie boards separating the scenes and themes and a varied and complementary soundtrack, we can only hope that one of the agents snaps it up. No doubt we shall hear in due course...

The Texas Gulf Coast Region has three high school teams participating in the IHL Action Campaign this year. One team, comprised of students from several different high schools in the Houston area, is focusing on refugees. Their IHL Action Campaign involves presentations and hands-on activities to teach the community about IHL; you can follow their progress on twitter and their blog. Another team, also made up of students from area schools, has set up a simulation in which participants "walk through" the life of a refugee. That team's leaders have set up a blog to document their Action Campaign. Finally, the third team, consisting of students from the British International School of Houston, is focusing on gender and spreading the word by organizing a "fun run", planning flash mobs, and using social media. They also have a blog.
*The purpose of the IHL Action Campaign is for young people to teach their peers about the importance of IHL, as well as issues related to gender, refugees, and humanitarianism.

So aside from my trip to the ER, this weekend's focus was NIKKI. My precious Tamara Nicole Hawkins. She's my oldest running buddy, dating back EIGHTEEN years. I think we can all agree it's a miracle to keep a friendship that long and yes, I feel oh-so blessed to have her in my life.
Quite frankly, I'm also really excited that I'm just head over heels for her soon-to-be-hubby, Justin! He's genuine, funny, God fearing, honorable... and downright quirky sometimes and I L O V E a little individuality. He was precious enough to involve me in the engagement a few months ago when he decided to pop the question in Houston. He staked out the location, planned the execution and I was there in camo with my camera on continuous shot to capture Nikki saying the most important "Yes" of her life. Ugh. I get goosebumps every time I think about it.
So November 14th, here we come. My dress is ordered (thank goodness she chose a pretty color for white girls), my shoes are purchased (perfect height and strappy-ness), and my Maid of Honor hat is ON. I've already started rough drafts for my toast so it'll rock the house... kind of like my dancing (please see Exhibit A of my signature MJ move below). What can I say? I like to be prepared. So it's no surprise that when I ended up in the emergency room at 2pm on Friday, my main focus was HOW IN THE HELL WILL THIS WEEKEND WORK?? And then..... like God whispering down on me, Dr. Devo said "here's some Darvocet and muscle relaxers. Have fun."
And thus, we executed Bachelorette Party Weekend 2010.
A day on the water, tubing and lounging, a lingerie shower at which we made her try on every piece of lingerie for us... Justin will NOT be disappointed... a game of twister with a tipsy bride, some celebratory fireworks, and .... the finale .... a soul train dance party.
and a birthday brunch the next morning. What a way to turn 28. I love you, sister.
It's the crap, crappiest time! To breathe air!

*** Check out our new tubes on the shop: https://shop.ericpare.com/ ***
This is a small part of a bigger project that's going to come in a few weeks. Kim and I have a lot of experience doing giant sunsets, but what about the moon? It turned out to be much easier than expected. During the shooting, I realized that I was able to step down the aperture to f64 by using the extenders. This gave me a very dirty low-quality image, but the fact that the moon and Kim were quite in focus was very mind-boggling.
Equipment: Canon 5d Mark IV (not the one that I baked), Canon 400mm f5.6, 2x extender II, 1.4x extender

Asco Adds to European Network with Dutch Operation
ASCO has announced a joint venture with the Maritime Service Centre IJmond (MSCIJ) Group of Companies in Holland.
The joint venture company will trade as ASCO Holland and will operate from the new outer IJmond Harbour at Ijmuiden. It will provide supply base and marine logistics services to support Dutch Continental shelf drilling and production operations.
ASCO will supply the management experience, processes and systems to complement the local services and infrastructure provided by MSCIJ. It will provide services to the existing Dutch operators and offer a single point of shipment for all products and bulks within IJmuiden.
Walter Robertson, ASCO European managing director, said, "ASCO operates more bases at more locations around the world than any other base operator. This venture adds to our European network of strategically located supply bases capable of supporting offshore activity in all sectors of the North Sea."
Frans Baud, MSCIJ managing director, said, "I am very pleased to be associated with ASCO and look forward to a long and successful relationship offering both new initiatives and choice to Dutch operators."
Billy Allan, ASCO Group chief executive, said, "The Port of IJmuiden has excellent facilities, extensive warehousing and quayside space and offers comparable, if not improved, distribution times to the Dutch offshore supply chain by virtue of both the access to excellent road infrastructure and the oil & gas service companies based nearby. IJmuiden is ideally located, 20 miles from Schiphol Airport."
The modern facilities located at the newly built IJMOND Harbour in IJmuiden offer:
- Over 340 meters of dedicated berths capable of accommodating the largest offshore support vessels up to a draft of 11 meters.
- Over 50,000 sq meters of open storage adjacent to the berths
- Modern warehousing of 2000 sq meters adjacent to the berths
- Comprehensive port services covering agency, stevedoring, lifting equipment, plant and road transport together with all types of waste management services accredited to the highest standards.


text: My question to all is: Do you read introductions and/or prefaces always, never, usually or only sometimes? I put myself in the category of "usually." For me it depends mostly on the length of the introduction. It also depends on what I'm expecting out of the book and who is doing the introduction. I will almost always read an introduction written by someone I am familiar with and appreciate. I will almost always begin reading an introduction but finishing it is by no means a sure thing. I am wondering if anyone skips introductions even if they are quite short, say a half a page to a page? In my latest attempt, the introduction will serve to set the scene and avoid some cumbersome and potentially tiresome exposition within the work itself. Is it reasonable to expect a short introduction to be read?

Teenage bell-ringer rescued from Abingdon belfry
A teenager has been rescued by fire crews after he became tangled in a church's bell-ringing ropes.
Firefighters found the 17-year-old more than 40ft (12m) in the air inside the belfry of St Helens Church in Abingdon, Oxfordshire, at 19:00 GMT on Friday.
Crews used a rope rescue system to reach the bell-ringer who had suffered a number of injuries from the ropes.
He was lowered to the floor on a stretcher and taken to hospital. The extent of his injuries is unknown.
Station manager Paul Webster said "it was an unusual incident" for the firefighters.
"Due to the steepness of the spiral staircase to the bell ringing room, there was not the option to carry the casualty out of the church on a stretcher," he added.

A blurb I recently posted on Facebook "Oh Autumn how I love the beautiful colors that you adorn on each tree this time of year, but why must you cry so many of them for me to rake? I have blisters that are now adorning the crevices between my thumbs and index finger and now I'm the one crying tears of pain!" inspired a series of thoughts this past weekend as I feverishly recruited my entire family for a day of yard cleanup. Not the most famous mom in the eyes of my girls after announcing their chore line-up on a beautiful sunny Sunday morning, but alas I got my crew to help, hubby included to master one of Autumn's biggest labors… leaves.
Autumn is my most favorite time of year. I am forever telling everyone how I feel as if my body comes out of a coma… whereas autumn is about getting nestled in for a deep winters sleep ahead, I come alive as the morning air is crisp, colors so rich, warm and inviting, smells of cinnamon and nutmeg and just when you think it's a little too cold for your britches, the sun rises full mast and forces you to look up, close your eyes and let it's richest in Vitamin D sink into your soul.
This particular Sunday was one of those glistening, sunny mornings and after 16oz of Joe pumped through my veins, hair tied up in a treetop above my head, gloves and a good old fashioned rake, I was ready to go. As Sorceress in Command it is only expected that I lead the crew first… after all you don't really think my team would get a head start without me, do you? No, no my team prefers to stand on the side-lines, getting the last re-runs of "Wizards of Waverly Place" in and need to be announced via loudspeaker, that I am serious about the much needed "family" help outside of the Kingdom.
It wasn't long before the spellbound Vitamin D unconsciously snuck into the veins of my offspring as their celestial bodies begun to dance with rakes and garbage bags performing their own magical spell as they swirled a sea of leaves into a big pile of childhood memories where they so eagerly needed, wanted to jump! Looking at me as if to ask my permission and daring to jump all at the same time, I did my best "I Dream of Jeanie" wink with a nod and the two flying girls landed in a mass of silliness. A blast of memories flooded deep into the marrows of my body and all felt sweet. I could tell once my Charmers went back to work and hubby followed suit behind, that although we choose to rake leaves the old fashioned way, a strong mix of work ethic, pride and togetherness overwhelmed all of us. There was no complaining, no stops of rest, no desires from my descendants to be anywhere else but here in our own Magical Kingdom.
I remember when my oldest started wondering over to the other side of the yard to make more piles and when I directed her stay on the same side as us, she frumped an angry look as if to say "Hey, I'm independent, I'm good at making my own piles, I can start another area and be done with it." Without missing the beat of lesson opportunity, I explained how if we stick together as a team, all working toward one goal, we will work faster, get more accomplished and look back on our vast impact with pride. Not quite sure what I was talking about she reluctantly agreed and we worked non-stop to get the largest, most impactful part of the property done, and when we were 95% there, we stopped and looked at our efforts, now seeing a sea that resembled a small pile shag carpet of green and the delight in all of our eyes. Little one kept running into the street to take in the majestic views and running back to report "Mommy we have the nicest yard this year! It's so beautiful!" It's beautiful my dear little one because it was work that you did, we did together. You're feeling self-satisfaction. "Self-satisfaction? What's that?" It's the feeling you have now. A feeling from accomplishing something from start to finish, no matter how rough it seemed in the beginning. A sense of pride that you achieved this goal and you didn't even have the expectation that it was there. "Oh, I like self- satisfaction!"
Only wanting to master the front, we seamlessly made our way to the back and my girls eventually made there way into something they haven't done in a long time together. They played. Sounds silly for some, but my now 10 and a half and 12 and a half year old girls have been very busy this year with new schools, new friends and new found independence, that the take-for-granted days when they used to play endlessly together, has become unimportant to them. A refresher course was all that was needed to get these smiley girls to do what came natural to them. I shooed them away to continue playing as Hubby and I tended to the last of the leaves and while gathering my last pile, and eventually making my way to put our deck furniture to sleep for the winter, I realized how much this time of year really is all about gathering. I could feel a sense of warmth in my heart that symbolically came from just a pile of gathered leaves, soon to be decomposed to turn into a nutrient base, homeopathic to Mother Nature, as our family and dogs even, gathered to what seemed also a natural source derived from nature, for us to transcend back into the meaning of Family.

It was games night on Tuesday, and me, Patrick and the Whimsybomb-man met up with noisms at the Scythe to continue our adventures in a setting that noisms has been toiling away on for years. Yoon-Suin is a strange place, humans and demi-humans live side-by-side in the city of Silaish Vo, it seems corruption is everywhere and magic is loose and free.
Patrick and W's PCs are a human fighter and a human magic-user; I am a Slugman Magic-user (look here for noisms' pictures of slugmen) - in this setting that essentially gives me a caste-style bonus, as slugmen are more highborn than humans. This comes out in the way that I roleplay him a little as Hugh Laurie in Blackadder.
Yoon-Suin is very fresh as a setting. What do I mean? We don't know what the world is like. noisms has it all on paper and in his head. There are no orcs and goblins that are a bit Lords of the Rings-ish. So far we've fought humans, moths and been really careful around scorpions. The small creatures are really scary and deadly from what we've seen. We captured an immortal man-beast, the Old King aka the Mad Eunuch, and took him to the Guild of Sages. We found a man made of clay, and ran away as quickly as possible when we got the distinct feeling that the DM was telling us we were extremely outclassed.
The Eastern feel to the setting is also really great. Silaish Vo in description reminds me of a mix of Mos Eisley, Hong Kong, perpetual street markets, and bizarrely it makes me think of William Gibson's work, but I can't put my finger on why...
This is the first campaign I've played using OD&D too. Great so far, reall enjoying it. At first it was mildly frustrating that as a magic-user the only weapons I am allowed are daggers and staffs. Now I'm starting to think more tactically - in fact, while this might be my character's first adventure, he has probably had to deal with miscreants and adventurous incidents in the past in order to get to Level 1. So he must have come up against this, being in a position where he has a spell and a knife and that's it. And he survived.
Maybe thinking about that I can figure out how to continue to keep him alive...

Games Night: OD&D in Yoon-Suin
2 comments:
The Old King! I remember him; in my so far one and only visit to Yoon-Suin we ran into him but we didn't work out how to catch the old geezer.ReplyDelete
I'm not sure how much luck was involved in capturing him. We had to use a sleep spell and bind him tight, then carried him six miles on a forced march before we could pick up a wheelbarrow to push him in. He did almost break free, but we knocked him out again.ReplyDelete
Next time we're heading in to the nearby dungeon, the millenia-abandoned dwarven fortress of Sangmengzhang! (am sure I've misspelled that...)

Human: Fall Flat Review
Over the years, physics-based games have strongly defined a genre that revels in the spectacle of crumbling environments and goofy falling animations. Human: Fall Flat seeks to embody this appeal through puzzle solving with a bumbling, generic character appropriately named Bob. You are tasked with controlling Bob through an environment littered with puzzles to reach an exit, where he will then literally fall into a new location.
Graphically, little is done to endear the player to the world outside of Bob's customization options, which include silly hats and outfits. Everything about the visual design looks like an early development concept, and the static visual flair leaves something to be desired; however, there are some dynamic visuals created through physics. Swinging wrecking balls, shattering glass, winding up catapults, and rowing a boat are just a few of the many activities that are simply entertaining to watch. Unfortunately, the music reflects the generic nature of the visual design by evoking memories of Minecraft whose somber, inoffensive soundtrack was almost unnoticeable.
Human: Fall Flat progressively introduces new ways to play with the physics of the world, and some levels in particular offer a number of inventive mechanics. I was impressed when I discovered that Bob could pry open iron bars and break locks. In the same level, I used a hook to create a makeshift swing to cross a gap, and wound up a catapult to fling rocks and Bob himself at a wall. While Bob is extremely clumsy, he possesses the ability to climb ledges. I appreciate that the climbing is intuitive, and requires a pull-up motion with Bob's arms. While it is the only ability Bob is capable of outside of jumping and grabbing, it consistently works as intended.
These mechanics offer moments of satisfaction as you traverse the environment with a physically inept character; however, the same satisfaction cannot be obtained by completing puzzles. Many of the puzzles are incredibly obvious, and while a few are relatively complex they're too static to be rewarding. There were many moments where I conceived a solution to the puzzle, but Bob's clunky controls did not allow me to position objects in a way that they realistically could be. As a result, it was frustrating to figure out some of the solutions, because I already had a viable one in mind that the game arbitrarily decided could not be done. Human: Fall Flat claims to be open-ended and unscripted, but it's actually quite the opposite. There's one way to do things, and the objects are restricted to satisfy that one solution.
Despite my early positive impressions of the physics, it became evident that Bob's interaction with his environment is incredibly limited. I did appreciate, however, the inclusion of red herrings to the puzzle solutions. Some puzzles require every object in the room to complete, while others will have objects and contraptions lying around that are completely unnecessary to progress. This inclusion gives some degree of rational thinking beyond simply jamming every available piece together, although they are not as frequent as I would have liked.
It feels as though standard abilities are provided to the players that are intrinsically disconnected from the open-ended, physics-based environment. You won't solve puzzles with physics mechanics in creative ways. Rather, you use the previously established tools over and over again. Eventually, it is made clear that one's resourcefulness in this pseudo non-linear environment is unimportant. Rather, the game becomes an exercise in forcing the sometimes awkward mechanics to operate as the designer intended. I had hoped that the concept would lend itself to a great deal of creative freedom. Instead, attempts at ingenuity result in blatantly obvious sequence-breaking. Clipping objects together is somewhat common, and it's easy to go off the beaten path, only to find that there's nothing to see or do. Upon replays, I can say that the construction level is most emblematic of this problem, as there are countless opportunities to climb above many of the puzzles and explore, yet there is no purpose in doing so.
There are also a handful of bugs in the game that may force you to restart a section of the puzzle. Luckily, they don't waste much time and checkpoints are frequent, but the nature of how objects interact can sometimes produce strange situations. This is a potential flaw of all physics-based games; however, these problems can also provide a benefit. Unintended situations can result in unconventional puzzle solutions as long as the game allows you to make use of them. Unfortunately, Human: Fall Flat retains the frustrations of finicky objects and controls, but the design is too linear to allow any degree of flexibility when things don't match up exactly as intended. This isn't so much a physics-based puzzle game as it is a puzzle game that happens to have physics: a distinction that is made clear by the priorities in exact puzzle solution over organic interaction with the objects.
Human: Fall Flat enthusiastically proclaims its commitment to unscripted creativity, but in reality, it's reading from the teleprompter. As a linear puzzle game, this is an enjoyable experience, but it offers little of what makes physics-based games enticing.

There was a sobering moment last week for us all. Government figures revealed that over a million young people are out of work, education or training.
Speaking in Leeds last week, the Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg announced that £1 billion of taxpayers' money will be given to employers in a bid to drive down the spiraling jobless numbers among the young.
The government said employers will be given £2,275 for each worker they take on in the next three years, meaning they'll effectively be subsidising work and training placement schemes.
With the country in the middle of a what could turn out to be a decade long slump, employers can afford to be picky and choose from those with the most experience.
It's not just 'neets' (not in education, employment, or training) to use the political parlance, who find themselves in an ever-increasing competitive job market. They also have to compete with the more experience job seekers as people from all sectors across country are vying for scarce jobs with companies continuing to make redundancies and tighten their belts.
Leeds West MP and shadow chief secretary to the Treasury, Rachel Reeves, told knowyourleeds that the scale of the problem isn't as simple as giving people jobs.
"I think that the outlook is probably the toughest outlook that young people are faced with," she said.
"Whether they're leaving school, college or university in the last few years, 22% of young people are out of work. In the constituency that I represent, Leeds West, the numbers are much higher than that. Long term youth unemployment has gone up by around 80% since the start of the year. That's the scale of the problem."
In Leeds city center, jobseekers knowyourleeds spoke to said the main problem was that employers aren't hiring them because they lack one vital attribute on their CV: experience.
You can here what jobseekers had to say in the Audioboo below.
Employers aren't hiring because they want people who have worked before. Businesses aren't to blame. But is the government right and are these proposal right for Leeds' young people?
As an economist before she became Leeds' only female MP in last years election, Rachel Reeves said that people with high qualifications are taking jobs that would've traditionally have gone to people fresh out of school.
A mixture of graduates, school and college leavers in the job market with their more experienced elders has created a "crazy" situation she said.
"Everyone is applying for the same jobs, irrespective of their qualifications," she said.
"This year was the best for GCSE and 'A' Level results. Yet youth unemployment has not been higher for 20 years."
Rachel Reeves unsurprisingly believes the priority should be to make sure that young people leaving school and college get an opportunity to contribute and put something back in the economy.
"It just seems a huge waste, a criminal waste really, of the talents and skills of young people who we're not harnessing and that we're letting them languish on benefits. They could be contributing, paying taxes and making a difference, especially at the start of their working lives when it so important to get into the habit and learn those skills of work."
What do you think? Are businesses to blame? Should the government be doing more for entrepreneurs?

The dominant technical innovators in the 20th century were IBM with 32,500 registered patents and General Electric with 50,800 registered patents. The primary reason why these and other companies like Hitachi, Toshiba and Canon have dominated the world of innovation is because of an environment that encouraged the pushing of boundaries. Once innovation becomes the lifestyle and culture, passion and excitement becomes the driving force.
It is not your academic intelligence or technical skills or that will give you that particular advantage but your creative insight that will provide you with that distinctive power and make you successful.
There is a broad consensus amongst experts that 98 percent of all human beings between the ages of 0-4 demonstrate creativity at a superior level. At the age of ten this figure drops to 30 percent, and eventually, only three percent of adults over the age of 25 still seem to exhibit superior creativity.
Creative innovation starts with any person despite their age; a journey to rediscover their inherent creative qualities – revives their senses and to enjoy life with passion.

GaryVee WallPapers ' Gary Vaynerchuk ' Medium
Serial entrepreneur Gary Vaynerchuk says there are two big secrets to staying motivated in business: being selfish, and knowing that you're going to die. Find the one thing that you're good at, then go all in on it. Motivational quotes are necessary. Then he began the first online video wine review, Wine Library" on YouTube, which he leveraged to get himself into the world of media. Check out his YouTube channel and blog for your daily motivational needs.
I did a talk at Web 2.0 in New York on building a personal brand through social media, and it became the basis for the book. He's written two New York Times bestselling books and his most recent book is all about how to tell your unique story in a social world.
The first thing I do when I wake up is grab my cellphone and take it to the bathroom with me, where I start my day by consuming quite a lot of information. Evan, im starting a digital marketing agency at a big level with good investment to office space and to hire people.
Great tips it's time to get to work on. Already asked my best friend what he thinks I'm good at. Time to develop habits to work on them consistently in the morning every day, and surround myself with winning players. Black Coffee says people must use rejection to get more info fuel them to do better in life.
Lastly thank you for your quality content i'm here YouTube and most of all thank you for the regular Snapchat's they not only inspire, but give people a good idea of what life is like both from the perspective of someone who is already fit and healthy and trying to change their life, i.e. you and your bulking up, but also for those like Gary who just wanna get fit and stay healthy, so I look forward to watching more YouTube videos, more snapchats and mostly reading more of your blog posts, good luck and thanks a lot.

Jaguar's 2.0-litre diesel XE will be one of many cars affected by the taxation change
The additional taxation penalising new diesel cars does nothing to address the issue of lowering pollution or CO2 output, according to Andy Goss
The extra tax on buyers of new diesel cars imposed in the recent Budget is "counter intuitive", according to Jaguar Land Rover sales boss Andy Goss.
From April 1 next year, taxation for any new diesel car will increase by a tax band for the first year, unless a vehicle can meet new real-world testing standards, called RDE Step 2. However these standards are not introduced until 2020, meaning no new diesel model is eligible for this exemption.
The diesel supplement for company cars is also rising from 3% to 4%.
Goss said: "We were surprised by the Budget. What is the rationale? It's difficult to fathom what led to that [decision]."
He continued: "If it had been a question of getting older diesel cars off the road, that would have been understandable. But to go for new diesels in the way they have, is a real surprise."
He also warned on the effect it would have on CO2 emissions. "It's not good. CO2 will go the other way", he cautioned, outlining that CO2 emissions will rise as people are pushed towards buying petrol cars which, on average, have higher CO2 emissions.
Goss' comments echo that of the UK's Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders boss Mike Hawes. In reaction to the Budget last month, Hawes said: "This budget will also do nothing to remove the oldest, most polluting vehicles from our roads in the coming years."
The SMMT has also raised concerns about rising CO2 emissions, which will make it increasingly difficult for the UK to meet strict emissions targets.

Millers Falls No.1, 3 & 5 eggbeater drills
Type Study
Return to Main Page
Millers Falls No.3 eggbeater drill.
Type 2 - Short main handle, no crank.
This is my earliest No.3 type, in which the main spindle has been extended back towards the main handle in order to support the idler pinion. Although this second pinion helps to support the side thrust between the main gear and its drive pinion, there is greater friction than necessary because the idler pinion rotates oppositely to the spindle - a drag to use when not fully lubricated. The screw-on cap is lignum vitae; the main handle and crank handle are both rosewood. This combination was long universal on Millers Falls eggbeater drills.

The Australian Paralympic Committee has removed gold medallist Michael Gallagher from the 2016 Australian Paralympic Team in Rio after he returned a positive doping sample.
Gallagher was tested out-of-competition in July at a training camp in Italy, where he tested positive for erythropoietin.
"Michael Gallagher's position on the Australian Paralympic Cycling Team for Rio 2016 has been terminated, effectively immediately," Kate McLoughlin, Chef de Mission of the Australian Paralympic Team today said in a statement.
"The APC fiercely supports the fight against doping in sport and this is a reminder to all athletes that they will be caught if they do not comply with the rules, regardless of intent."

Recently, I was going through some news portal when I found an article on free society. It reminded me of Milton Friedman's works on his point of view with regard to relationship between free society and economics. This made me feel like writing what I think about it from a non-economic angle. More than often, if not always, we all cry about India being no longer a free society. Also, people raise processions for certain other kind of freedoms and demand for a free society. However, do we really realize what it exactly takes to make it to a free society?
It is a common habit to get biased on some thing, and free society being no exception either. People forget that there are always two different sides of a coin (barring the famous 'Sholay coin' and also the one recently seen with Harvey Dent) There is no doubt that freedom is good but to what extent. To cope with it, we escape saying, "Freedom of a person should be unlimited as long as it isn't intruding his/her neighbor". Well, I believe that it is a good constraint however not an exhaustive one. For e.g. should we allow people to consume drugs or should we allow people to commit suicide? Well, we can't; actually we should not. Excessive freedom will take its toll, if not been regularized properly.
Forget about just the extent of freedom; I would also like to suggest something on the maintenance of a so-called free society. I want people to take thought about their condition and to recognize that the maintenance of a free society is a very difficult and complicated thing and it requires a self-denying ordinance of the most extreme kind. It requires a willingness to put up with temporary evils on the basis of the subtle and sophisticated understanding that if you step in to do something about them you not only may make them worse, you will spread your tentacles and get bad results elsewhere.
Talking about the obstacles in attaining free society, the fundamental threat is power to coerce, be it in the hands of a monarch, a dictator, an oligarchy, or a momentary majority. The preservation of freedom requires the elimination of such concentration of power to the fullest possible extent and the dispersal and distribution of whatever power cannot be eliminated by a system of checks and balances. But is this possible in real world? I seriously doubt because the concentration of power could never have been stopped in the past, not by any form of governance whether democracy or monarchy, not by any form of society whether capitalist or socialist and not even by any form of religion.
Another big hindrance towards attainment of a free society would be on the accountability and responsibility side of life. The inevitable result of the acceptance of determinism, of the belief that no one is responsible for anything, is the kind of whining, blame shifting, and abdication of responsibility we have all around us today. Any advocate of freedom, any advocate of civilization, has to challenge the doctrine of psychological determinism and has to be able to argue rationally and persuasively for the principle of psychological freedom or free will, which is the underpinning of the doctrine of self- responsibility.
So, I think the need of present hour is to revisit the concept of free society and see if how relevant it is; and also, look out for the possible customized version of free society for our society.

New Perfume Review: House Of Cherry Bomb Immortal Mine II (Maria McElroy/ Alexis Karl ) 2016 + Delores del Rio Glamour Draw
Detail of a photo of Delores del Rio and friend, iconic Old Hollywood actress of the 1930s apped MC
At the end of a week rife with high emotions it is with pleasure that I review the new fragrance from the House Of Cherry Bomb Immortal Mine II. But first a shout out to two very special people. I really am the luckiest fraghead on the planet! Many thanks to both Michelyn Camen of CaFleureBon and to Portia Turbocharge of Australian Perfume Junkies two of my all-time favorite perfume blogs, for allowing me to write for them. Honestly how much better can my life get?
So on to perfume…..
Maria McElroy and Alexis Karl of House of Cherry Bomb (photo from Maria and Alexis)
I am so happy to write about this hot off the perfume organ, ultimate lovegasm scent from House of Cherry Bomb (HOCB) in Brooklyn. House Of Cherry Bomb (hereafter HOCB), and HOCB Killer Perfume, their spin-off company are the well regarded lovechildren of two amazing perfumers, Maria McElroy and Alexis Karl. HOCB is of those great indie brands that always gets lots of buzz in the perfume community and rightly so. Their range of scents is young and snappy, full of unusual, compelling combinations.
Delores del Rio apped MC
This is a lovely gem of a scent. I expected that Immortal Mine II would be an easy love for me, perfumer Maria McElroy had created two of my top ten perfumes of all time. Her company, Aroma M is well known for the cult favorite Geisha perfumes. Voluptuous Nostalgia is a personal favorite and my back-up has its own back-up. Maria's friend and partner in perfume, Alexis Karl of Scents By Alexis, composed a modern day example of an all out Old Hollywoood glamour perfume.
Delores del Rio
Immortal Mine II is a continuation or rather a "reawakening" of the original Immortal Mine perfume created by Scents By Alexis in 2012. This is NOT a reformulation but rather a riff of an already glorious scent. As described by Maria and Alexis "Immortal Mine II is "In its new form, this all natural fragrance entwines the mystery of dark, vintage ouds and million year old amber resins, with that of stunning Moroccan henna flower, drops of precious beeswax absolute, and tobacco flower. A shadow of ambergris, labdanum and chypre are touched with traces of delicate lily of the valley and Madagascar vanilla."
Delores del Rio looks stunnning. I apped this black and white photo in gold MC
Immortal Mine II is so well blended that I am hard pressed to pick out individual notes. To quote Aristotle, "The whole is greater than the sum of its parts." Immortal Mine II is a stunning amber-centric perfume, warm and enveloping, dark, sexy and profoundly mysterious.

The difference between the oil and the EDP is as you might expect. The oil is more of a personal experience, a skin scent that is perfect for the boudoir, and the edp, initially more sparkling and with better throw, is what to wear BEFORE you get to the bedroom, in other words perfume foreplay. Both carry the same vintage, glamorous vibe.
–Robert Hermann, Guest Contributor (with contributions from Michelyn Camen, Editor in Chief)
Art Direction: Delores del Rio was the first Mexican actress to 'crossover' in Hollywood. She was considered one of the greatest beauties of her time (1930s-early 1950s). All glamour, breaking boundaries, a mythical figure in Mexican cinema, Delores del Rio is an immortal beloved of mine.
Immortal Beloved II perfume oil and EDP photo House of Cherry Bomb
Writer's Note: If you haven't explored the range I highly recommend the Cardamom Rose and the Tobacco Cognac, two of my favorites. Immortal Beloved II is available in 1/3 oz (10 ml) oil based perfume housed in a hand blown, gold filagree, Czechoslovakian glass flacon for $150.00 and the 1/3 oz (10 ml) EDP is sold in a red metal purse atomizer.$50.00 -RH
Maria and Alexis have been kind enough to offer a sample set of 1 ml each of both the oil and the edp to a USA registered reader (you must register to be eligible. Not sure? Click here). Please leave a comment with what appeals to you about Immortal Beloved II based on Robert's review. Draw closes 11/16/2016
We announce the winners on our site and on our Facebook page, so Like Cafleurebon and use our RSS feed…or your dream prize will be just spilled perfume

As a child, I remember wondering how my mother could bear to stay away from her friends for such prolonged periods of time and only meet up with them on weekends or special occasions. To me, it seemed like something I would never, EVER be able to do. I just HAD to see my friends every day, or at least chat with them on the phone for at least an hour, if not more. During the teenage years, my two best friends meant the world to me, and the thought of not seeing them every day was unimaginable. We went to school together and went to tutors' classes together, and as if staying together for something like 8-9 hours a day wasn't enough, we'd come back home and chatter away on the phone till our mothers screamed their lungs out at us.
To think that the scenario today couldn't be more 'opposite' is still shocking to me.The three of us hardly get to meet anymore. One of them lives in a different city while the other lives in the same city as I do, yet our worlds have drifted so far apart that we can hardly ever synchronize to catch up with a hangout. Funny thing, I don't feel the sharp pangs of 'missing' I used to once upon a time. If anything, I rather like spending my weekends at my home, reading magazines or watching sitcoms or happily cooking in my kitchen. I like the distance and the space it allows me and the fact that I no longer feel the urge to share my inner turmoil or future plans with them on a regular basis like I did once upon a time. What was once unthinkable has been happily accepted as the norm now. Is this what adulthood does to everyone? I can't figure out yet if it's a good thing or a bad one.

Th Oils of Life team was organized by Lisa Krengel after several years of developing and enrolling hundreds of doTERRA users. Read more about Lisa's story below.
Everyone has a story, many stories, that make up their life, their journey, and their passion.
One of my passions is essential oils. Another passion is empowering and inspiring people to live a beautiful, simple life. I love that these two passions blend together and that I find a purpose in them.
Hello, Essential Oils…
I was first introduced to essential oils through a magazine article. I was intrigued reading how these natural little drops of plant oils could affect the body in so many powerful ways. I went straight to my natural health store and bought a few: peppermint, lavender, and eucalyptus. I enjoyed the aroma of the peppermint and had an amazing experience with the eucalyptus- I could feel the two of them supporting my breathing almost immediately. The lavender was a different story.
Finding doTerra (and my love for Lavender!)
Over the past 20+ years I have read, researched, and added new oils when I could find them – always purchasing the best oils that I knew about. In 2014 I was introduced to doTERRA and purchased an enrollment kit to check out their oils. LOVE is all I can say. Each oil was soft, yet vibrant and I was drawn to them the second I breathed them in. But then there was Lavender. I was hesitant because I have never liked the smell of any Lavender oil, but I tried one last time. I opened the bottle, breathing in the aroma, and this time it was different. There was a fresh, garden scented Lavender, like nothing I've ever smelt before, that rose up to greet me. I was smitten.
The Power of Natural Essential Oils
I've too many beautiful and powerful experiences with Essential Oils to share. Each time I experience their potency and nature-healing support, I'm once again amazed and so grateful that God has given us these gifts of the earth.
Over the years, essential oils have supported me with everything from quick, simple relief from discomfort or pain through the long journey of overcoming Lyme. Each step of the way, Essential Oils have supported my emotions and my body, as I discover the next step to a healthier and whole life.
My Mission to Teach
After such incredible experiences, I began sharing these amazing oils with friends and family. And now together, we are on a mission to share with anyone who will listen about these powerful, potent oils in little brown bottles. Each home can be empowered to make the wisest choices for their family's needs. Step by step, choice by choice, everyone can move towards their health and wellness being where they want it to be.
Through this story of life, I'm thankful for my greatest passion and Healer – Jesus, my family who who walk with me and are learning the power of essential oils for themselves, and all the people who let me walk with them to inspire and empower a beautiful, healthy life.

The weather is a critical factor in this trip as I discovered yesterday after nearly being blown off.
Constant checking of the forecast and it was not looking good, in fact it looked even worse for the whole day. However, the rest of the week looked good.
So I came to a rather dramatic decision to stay put and not risk coming off in the wind and rain which was absolutely howling outside.
I did doubt my decision as there were a couple of bright spells, but the rain soon returned and this early on in the trip and with some of the worst roads to travel I really didn't want to risk an accident.
So I had a relaxing day, and thought of nothing but two things! Firstly with my map book as my constant companion the trip itself and the route, which was open to change as I rode along. But secondly, a couple of weeks earlier I had been blessed with meeting someone who has been such a strong supporter of mine during the trip and managed to bring me such happiness that I am totally smitten!
Anyway back to the journey.
Next morning was not an early start due to various distractions! However managed to get away around 0800hrs and headed in to Lymington to see the lads and lasses at work. I pulled in to much mickey taking and it was pointed out that my rear tyre did look a little flat!
Not really surprising due to the weight that was on the bike! Mind you I would like to point out that the bike was not and I do repeat not overloaded. It is designed to carry a pillion passenger and I was quite capable of picking up and carrying my bags but I wouldn't of wanted to pick up and carry a person.
Down to the nearest garage to the air line, where I discovered my tyre down to 20psi. It should of been at 40psi! Now with the panniers on it wasn't easy to attach the air line. The valve had to be at 9 o'clock and I had to lay on the deck to attach it!
My destination for tonight was Margate and an old Army mate Diggers, more about him later.
Off through Brockenhurst, Lyndhurst, Ashurst and into Southampton, where I nearly got lost but managed to make my way through and out on the A27 through Fareham and on to Chichester.
A quick break and refuel at Chichester and off again following the A27. Now my original plan was to take the A259 but this is all stop start and I wanted to get some miles under my belt and as the journey had been easy so far decided to stay on the A27.
Skirting around Worthing, Brighton, and Eastbourne I finally hit the sea at Hastings. Pulled up on the sea front for fuel and a drink.
My kit was off the bike and I was busy refuelling so I didn't see the police car pull up behind me and give me a quick blast of the sirens. After checking to make sure my pants were not full the boys in blue got out and started to chat rather enthusiastically about my bike and what I was doing and how I was getting on.
Before I knew it one of them was on the bike and positioning it for a photo shoot!
It turned out the guy on the bike owns one and was in awe of my journey! So much so that his mate had to remind him that they had better get going as they were late for a court hearing!!!
Onwards towards now on the A259 towards Folkestone and Dover. At Dover I pulled into a garage for grub and fuel, with just a short stint to finish the day up to Margate.
On reaching Margate I made my way to the train station and gave "Diggers" a call, he gave me directions to his place and within 5 minutes I was shaking the hand of a bloke that I had last seen in 1987.
We were at 21 Signal Regiment 2 Squadron based in Osnabruck. 2 Squadron was infamous for being full of misfits and lunatics, not too sure how I managed to get posted there but I fitted in well!
"Diggers" and I shared a room, and so many memories came flooding back we were in tears laughing. We also agreed that some of our stories when told to civvies were either frowned upon or disbelieved as being too far fetched, but we know they were all true and we had a right laugh remembering them!
We had a cracking evening down his local with a few too many beers, when we got back that evening to his place he pulled out an old battered shoe box with all his memories in. One of which was a letter I had sent him a year after he had got out back around 1988.
To say I was touched to the core that he had this letter after all this time was an understatement.
One thing this proved to me that no matter how long it is between speaking or seeing each other. Those who served together are friends for life, no matter what goes on in-between!
The next morning I was feeling slightly worse for wear!
The journey continues.............

Back into the old routine this week, memories of the festive holidays fading fast and the New Year already a few days old. Easter Eggs are already on the shelves and we are counting the number of shopping days until Christmas. Back to work with a thud and a cold.
Football-wise, it's been a messy old week. The weather has played havoc with football fixtures; the Beckham roadshow takes centre stage in Milan and is uncomfortable viewing; Ronaldo smashes up his Ferrari; and the January feeding-frenzy that is the transfer window gathers momentum. As for me, I still live in my own little world:
1. Bashley are better than Manchester United. Seeing Derby's great result against Manchester United in the Semi-Final of the Carling Cup on Wednesday sparked a childhood memory. Here's what me and my friends used to do when we were kids. In a totally puerile and simply pointless attempt at one-upmanship we used to have a little 'game' we'd play that would demonstrate how crap your mate's team actually were. Here's an example to show how it works. My mate supports Manchester United. They lost 1-0 to Derby County midweek in the Carling Cup. Derby lost just before Christmas at home to Crystal Palace. Palace lost to Leeds United in the Carling Cup earlier in the competition. Leeds United were humiliated at Histon in the FA Cup. One of Histon's few defeats this season was in the League against Woking. Woking have this season lost to Maidenhead United who in turn lost to Bashley in this season's FA Cup. So, with an air of supreme confidence I could rib my mate that, actually, "Bashley (from the Southern Football League) are better than Manchester United"! Follow? In the days when kids had to entertain themselves, we had hours of fun with this one. Who am I kidding? I still do it.
2. My son really does support Spurs. In my book I wrote a whole chapter on the disappointment I felt when my son declared he supported Tottenham Hotspur. At the time, I hoped it was a passing phase. A year on, and I fear his support of the last team in London that I would have wanted him to support is now entrenched in his psyche. He got a Tottenham mug for Christmas, with his name on it. He proudly wears his Tottenham kit. He was delighted with their win over Burnley in the other Carling Cup Semi-Final. Worst of all, he now wants me to take him to a game. I have run out of excuses for not taking him. Bugger. I have asked a few people I know who support Tottenham how to get to White Hart Lane. None knew the answer.
3. I have become addicted to bagging new Football Grounds. It is Facebook's fault. They host a neat little application called 'Football Grounds I Have Visited' which allows you to tick off grounds, both old and new, that you have been to. All levels of football, all over Europe. My count stands at 103. Some of my mates have also counted up their tally. POSH Mate claims to have been to 105. I demand a recount. In the meantime, I'm hoping to bag a new ground tomorrow by going to see Molesey v Chertsey Town. Don't tell POSH Mate.
4. I will be on display at The National Football Museum. Well, not me; my memorabilia from the 'Wick To Wembley' FA Cup run last season. Programmes, ticket stubs, shirts, photos, flags, newspaper cuttings, television and radio interview clips and my book. Who would have thought it? Needless to say, I'm very honoured and excited in equal measure. I will be travelling up to the museum, in Preston, on Friday 13th February with the display opening on Valentine's Day. I've always said that the FA Cup is romantic.
5. I still despair at the language of football. Anyone who knows me well enough knows this is a bugbear of mine. Some of the language used in sports journalism, especially football, is rather excessive. The emotive nouns and adjectives that are used far too often and completely out of context. Here are two recent newspaper quotes to consider:
"How Israel brought Gaza to the brink of humanitarian catastrophe". Headline in 'The Guardian', 7 Jan 09.
"Conceding a goal would be a catastrophe for us". Bordeaux's manager Laurent Blanc, December 2008, talking ahead of his side's UEFA Champions League game at Roma.
You tell me - which is the real catastrophe?

When: Fri., Jan. 19, 8 p.m. 2018
Fans of the OG, British art/prog-rock crew Moody Blues have a special treat in store for them this weekend. For the first time ever, the group (a 2018 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee) is touring its classic, dare I say groundbreaking 1967 album Days of Future Passed, a gem from beginning to end that features the hits "Nights in White Satin" and "Tuesday Afternoon." With its groundbreaking melding of classical, pop, and rock styles, this album is not only the quintessential Moody Blues effort, its deserving of mention alongside other great 1960s albums that pushed the boundaries of what rock/pop music could be. Aside from playing all of Future Passed, the band will also offer up a set of choice cuts from throughout its five decade-plus odyssey.
Price: $56-$151

The guitarist and singer Floyd McDaniel, best known as a member of the Five Blazes, died on July 22 in Chicago, where he lived. He was 80.
The cause was cardiac failure, said Doug Engel, the promotion director of Delmark Records, for which Mr. McDaniel recorded.
Mr. McDaniel worked in the loose area between jazz and rhythm-and-blues that had been defined by the singer and saxophonist Louis Jordan. Early in his career he worked at the 1939 World's Fair with a washboard band called the Rhythm Rascals. A talent scout for the Cotton Club discovered Mr. McDaniel in a performance at the Apollo Theater in New York, and he began a long engagement as leader of the Cotton Club Tramp Band.
In 1941 he joined the Blazes, a group that performed its own material along with hits of the day. The band stayed together until the mid-1950's, when Mr. McDaniel bought a bar in Chicago.
He continued performing, however, backing the singer Sam Cooke, and in 1971 he joined the Ink Spots as a guitarist, a job that lasted 10 years. In 1986 at the Chicago Blues Festival he was drafted as part of the Big Three Trio, a group run by the bassist and songwriter Willie Dixon. He performed regularly after that, and in 1994 recorded "Let Your Hair Down!' (Delmark) with the Blues Swingers.
He is survived by two daughters, Barbara Portwood and Doris Peck, and a son, Greg.Continue reading the main story

I'm going to Canada
currently, only a few nights in Toronto are booked. What shall i do there?
This thread will be bumped in the future.
go to the CN tower.
you can get BLUE PEPSI at the top.
Somewhere near by.
Do something with the blue jays.
tremblant is in quebec its like 7 hrs from toronto...
i really wouldn't go to ontario to ski/snowboard its pussy hills
- CN tower's good.
- I loved Toronto Island. Ferry's pretty cheap over, and you can hire bikes there.
- Go to the massive indoor market whose name I've currently forgotten and get a Peameal Bacon Roll.
- Spend lots of money at Sonic Boom record shop.
- Learn from the voice-over lady on the underground how to pronounce Spadina.
- Go to the Danforth and eat Greek food.
Bloody love Toronto.
massive indoor market = Honest Ed's
The guy was a real legend, held a street party every year on his birthday for local kids for free. Shame i believe he's passed away now.
-Sonic Boom - YES!!
- Drink in Sneaky D's usually some good live music on, Crystal Castles always used to be in there.
-Mod club to massively exploit your accent to the max
-Go watch the raptors (b'ball) or leaf's (hockey) play
-Don't go to Mississauga
Could recommend a hundred bars if you wanted. Some excellent restaurants too.
i came in here to recommend Sneaky D's
lovely place. i seem to remember the vodka & oranges being unholy strong and like $3.
always more bang for your buck in sneakys.
Yeah it's good, but then most of the music venues downtown are, even that masssive out of town ampitheatre type thingy one is ace, seats at the front, standing behind and a sloped lawn futher back, happy days!
i saw Wilco at Massey Hall
pretty much the best soundsystem i've ever heard. was amazing.
@Axis (incase of Threadsmash)
No, not Honest Ed's. It's umm... St Lawrence! That's it (I think). St Lawrence market, it's near the main train station. It's incredible.
i knew you wouldn't have meant ed's, i just wanted to mention it anyway!
I got a 70c tie there and i got the job!
Somebody mentioned Kensington Market to me when I went
I didn't see the point. Maybe I just went on the wrong day.
Steve's Music Store is prettycheap if you're looking to buy instruments or whatever.
The Horseshoe Tavern is great too on occasion. I saw the Dead Weather play there. Tiny little spot.
There's the hockey hall of fame.
But idk how interested you'd be in that.
buy a tourist pass thingy
it's about $50, and gets you into 6 tourist attractions, so it's really good value. It includes the Royal Ontario Museum (ace), Casa Loma (brilliant, definitely go there) Science museum and Hockey Hall of Fame (didn't go to those), the Zoo (absolutely miles away, but you can get there on public transport and it's really good) and somewhere else I've forgotten.
Just read all the Scott Pilgrim comics first, then you'll be well excited when you go there.
oh, the CN Tower was the other one!
it's not amazing, but it's good to say you've done it if you've got the cheap pass. The main problem with it is it's the main landmark in Toronto, so once you're up there you can't see much else!
i hope you're not going during the winter.
you're gonna rather stay in your room then go outside. i'd reccomend going anytime between may and september.
-go to the beaches and go along the boardwalk
-shop along queen west or yorkville if you want really high end.
-stay in the city, dont go to any of the suburbs like scarborough, missassauga, north york, etc.
Buy a travelpass
It'll set you back about a hundred dollars but its so so SO worth it, you'd spend that in no time taking the subway, buses and trams.

About BMW Motorcycle
BMW is one of the only 4-wheeler manufacturers in the automobile industry to have a successful motorcycle segment. Known as BMW Motorrad, they forward whatever BMW stands for with 4 wheelers. BMW motorcycle now makes their way to the Indian market.
BMW Motorcycle Zooming into an Expanding Indian Market
There is no doubt that BMW is one of the leading manufacturers in the automobile industry. Irrespective of the number of wheels, BMW continues to extend their engineering and designing prowess into motorcycles. BMW motorcycle or Motorrad is a high-end brand of two-wheelers with a loyal following worldwide. Now, they're bringing it all over to India.
BMW Motorrad History
Starting off with motorcycle engines and then foraying into motorcycles, the first serious BMW 2-wheeler is the R32. In 1923, this motorcycle came with a revolutionary boxer engine, an engine design concept which still works up today without compromise.
BMW continued with motorcycle production well into the Second World War with the legendary R75 model. Coming with an additional side-car, this too was an engineering revolution considering its individual motor drive. A lockable differential was perfect to make it one of the most common vehicles of choice in World War II.
Continuing with this same batch till the 80's, BMW came up with its K series of models in 1982. Shaft-drive plus water-cooling were some of the newest techs in a 2-wheeler back then. Apparently, they were one of the few manufacturers who were able to compete with Japanese brands such as Yamaha, Kawasaki, et al.
2004 marks a vital year in not just BMWs' history but also on the overall motorcycle industry. The Bavarians introduce the 1170cc 100 HP R1200GS to their lineup, leaning into a production motorcycle segment concentrating on street-legal performance.
BMW motorcycle always persisted on innovating 2-wheeler technology. They go down in history as pioneers. Introducing telescopic front suspension, rear swingarms, electronic stability control, anti-skid tech etc., they truly prove their mettle.
Motorrad Global Reach
Concluding a record-breaking 2016 year of sales and growth, BMW Motorrad registers their best-ever first-quarterly sales figures in 2017. With a growth of more than 5.5%, they're one of the fastest growing manufacturers around, at least this year.
With their home German market leading the charge, Italy and France come in next as per a number of units. China comes up as their highest growing market with a growth figure of over 52%. BMW motorcycle now sets their sights on a highly prospective Indian market.
Brand BMW in the Motorcycle Segment
The Bavarians always focus on engineering and performance optimization for designing and building their 2-wheelers. For buyers, BMW means a guarantee of optimal performance and technically cutting-edge design.
BMW Motorcycle in India
As of now, BMW operates dealerships and service centers across more than 9 cities in India including New Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Kolkata, and Chennai among others. Reaching out with the help of TVS, BMW Motorrad comes up as one of the most exhilarating brands around. They now include more than 11 models in their Indian portfolio.

Seven weeks after playing La Salle in a nonleague contest, the Flintridge Sacred Heart Academy girls' volleyball team will get another shot at the Lancers with an opportunity to advance to the CIF Southern Section Division I-A championship match.
It's a challenge the fourth-seeded Tologs relish with plenty up for grabs, as they get set to meet the top-seeded Lancers in a semifinal match at 7 p.m. Tuesday at Flintridge Sacred Heart.
"We are glad to be back playing against La Salle," said Flintridge Sacred Heart second-year Coach Ernest Banaag, who will look to guide the Tologs to their first final appearance since 2007. "We went through a lot [Saturday] in beating El Dorado [in five games] and now we get set to face another very good team.
"I think these are the two best teams in the area with so many great players on both sides."
Flintridge Sacred Heart (26-4) split the Mission League championship with Harvard-Westlake, which will face league foe Sherman Oaks Notre Dame in the other semifinal match at Notre Dame on Tuesday. La Salle (28-5) will look to reach the final for the third straight season after winning the championship last season against El Dorado. The Lancers won the Del Rey League title and advanced to the semifinals by sweeping Aliso Niguel.
